Narrator:
March 13, 1962. Lionel Lemnitzer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, presents a proposal to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara named Operation Northwoods. The Document proposes staging terror attacks in and around Guantanamo Bay to provide a pretext for military intervention in Cuba. The plans included: starting rumors... staging a terror campaign in Miami, Florida and Washington, DC, and finally, destroying a drone aircraft over Cuban waters. The passengers, federal agents in reality, would allegedly be college students on vacation. A plane at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a registered civil aircraft belonging to a CIA front in Miami. The duplicate would be substituted for the real plane and loaded with the passengers. The real plane would be converted into a drone. The two planes would rendezvous south of Florida. The passenger laden plane would land at Eglin Airforce Base to evacuate its passengers and return to its original status. The drone would pick up the scheduled flight plan and, over Cuban waters, transmit a mayday-signal before being blown up by remote control. - The plan is rejected by McNamara and President John F. Kennedy removes Lemnitzer as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff month later.

In it, they declare "the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."

Narrator:
June, 2001. The Department of Defense initiates new instructions for a military intervention in the case of a hijacking. It states, that for all non-immediate responses the Department of Defense must get permission directly from the Secretary of Defense.

Narrator:
July 24, 2001. Larry A. Silverstein, who already owned WTC-7 signs a 3.2 billion Dollar, 99 year lease on the entire WTC complex, 6 weeks before 9-11. Included in the lease is a 3.5 billion Dollar insurance policy specifically covering acts of terrorism.

CNN Anchor:
[live on 9/11, the Pentagon still burning]... from my closeup inspection there is no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon. The only site is the actual side of the building that's crashed in, and as I said, the only pieces left - that you can see are, are small enough that you can pick'm up in your hand. There are no large tail-sections, wing-sections, - fuselage, nothing like that anywhere around which would indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon.

Narrator:
...On October 17, 2004 a 56-storey skyscraper in Venezuela built in 1976 burned for over 17 hours and fire spreads over 26 floors, eventually reaching the roof. Guess what? It did not collapse. On February 12, 2005 the Windsor Building in Madrid, a 32 storey tower framed in steel-reinforced concrete burned for almost 24 hours, completely eradicating the upper 10 storeys of the building. Although the top 10 floors of the building fell the building itself did not collapse. And yet, on September 11, 2001 two 110 storey skyscrapers, completed in 1973, burned for 56 and 103 minutes respectively over 4 floors before collapsing completely to the ground.

Narrator:
Later that evening at 5:20 WTC-7, a 47-storey office building 300 feet away from the North-tower, suddenly collapsed... Although every single building surrounding building 7 and the twin towers remains standing, building 7 fell straight down into a convenient little pile in 6 seconds. Official explanation: falling debris from the twin towers created an internal fire which ignited several fuel tanks inside the building. If this is true then it would be the third steel-framed building in history that collapsed because of a fire. The first two would be the twin towers.

Narrator:
So what brought down the WTC? Let's ask the experts. Van Romero, Vice President for Research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology: "My opinion is, based on the videotapes, that after the airplanes hit the WTC there were some explosive devices inside the buildings that caused the towers to collapse." Ten days later: "Certainly the fire is what caused the building to fail." Why would Romero change his mind so suddenly?

Narrator:
America has been hijacked. Is it more likely by Osama bin Laden and his ragtag group of Arabs with box-cutters or by a group of tyrants within our own government, ready and willing to do whatever it takes to keep their stranglehold on this country? It's up to you! Ask Questions! Demand Answers!

[Rap accompanying closing credits:
... what the Reichstag was for Hitler, 911 is for Bush... ]

Narrator:
I'll say it again: Why are they hiding from us? What are they hiding from us? And what's it going to take until people in this country give a damn and do something about it? Now, that the evidence has been presented: what will you do about it? Find comfort in the official version of the events? Or will you go out and investigate for yourselves? Will you share this information or will you ignore it?

Narrator:
Every single attempt to uncover and investigate the truth behind 9-11 has been ridiculed and harrassed by both the government and media alike, for even daring to question the official story.

Fox News Anchor:
University of Wisconsin Professor Kevin Barrett has recently drawn criticism for plans to teach an islamics study course next fall that would incorporate conspiracy theories that the US government was involved in the events of September 11. Professor Barrett joins us now...

[... ]

John Hannity:
All right, Mr. Barrett, John Hannity here. Do you really believe that 9-11 was an inside job, not just 9-11 but Madrid and Bali and the Sarkawi-operations... Do you really believe personally that these were inside jobs? Yes or no.

Prof. Barrett:
It's not quite that simple. I do know, I don't believe, I *know* that 9-11 was an inside job. Prof. Steven Jones has found residue of Thermate in ste el samples from the WTC. We now know that it was taken down in a controlled demolition.

John Hannity:
So you believe that the buildings came down in a controlled demolition?

Prof. Barrett:
Well, I don't believe it, I've looked at the evidence. And the evidence is overwhelming.

John Hannity:
The evidence is overwhelming...

Prof. Barrett:
Sure it is.

John Hannity:
...to you because you are a conspiracy-nut but actually...

Prof. Barrett:
All I ask of anyone is to take a look at these evidence for themselves. They can go to www.stj911.org - that's scholars for 9-11 truth&justice - and take a look, take a look at the demolitions. Morgan Reynolds, a former Bush administration official said that "the Bush administration blew the WTC to Kingdome Come." That's a diect quote from a member of the Bush administration itself.

John Hannity:
I know. And there were people who said the Jews were told to leave, we' ;ve heard a lot of these sick bizarre theories.

Prof. Barrett:
That's not the same thing.

John Hannity:
You are allowed to believe what you want. But that's not at hand here. The issue is whether or not you with your bizarre theories are the best...

Prof. Barrett:
I think you have the most bizarre theory. You think it was 19 guys with box cutters led by a guy in a cave in Afghanistan? That's ridiculous. That's the craziest conpiracy theory of all of them.

John Hannity:
Mhm, ok. I wish I had the Twilight-Zone music.

Narrator:
A billion Dollars worth of gold is confirmed to have been in the WTC. 200 millions found. And that's just the money. In the aftermath of September 11, President Bush had and continues to have permission to do and say whatever he wants. All under the pretext of September 11. The Patriot-Act. The Department of Homeland Security. Afghanistan. Irak. It's time for America to accept 9-11 for what it was: A lie which killed tousands of people, only in turn killing hundreds of thousands more, to make billions upon trillions of Dollars.
