Anti-war groups have long been regarded as deliberate gatekeepers to the 9/11 Truth (and anti-war) movement.
But in 2009 Veterans for Peace membership mushroomed with savvy new members who realized it wasn’t enough to protest the war if you didn’t protest the government lie that allowed it to happen.
Below is a video of the resolution passed at the 2009 Conference of the group. The resolution supports an independent and valid investigation of the events of 9/11.
In John Perkins’ book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, Perkins describes how the American empire was created at the behest of the international bankers and multinational corporations which he calls the corporatocracy.
Perkins’ job for the corporatocracy was to be an ‘economic hitman’. He was hired to persuade the leaders of different governments to take out huge loans to build large infrastructure projects in their countries. These leaders would, in turn, get substantial kickbacks for agreeing to these projects. Then multinational corporations like Bechtel and Halliburton would get the building contracts and the banks would earn billions in interest payments. Meanwhile the population in these countries got the bill which impoverished rather than benefited them.
In those countries where the leaders would not play ball, the ‘jackals’ were called in. These were CIA contractors who would either forment a revolution to depose the current leader or would arrange for the leader to die in an ‘accident’. In the video below, Perkins describes how he was recruited into being an economic hitman and what his job was.
In this second video, Perkins discusses why America attacked Iraq and Afghanistan and why it has plans to attack other oil rich countries such as Iran and Venezuela.

Forget the claims and allegations that false flag terror – governments attacking people and then blaming others in order to create animosity towards those blamed – has been used throughout history.
This essay will solely discuss government admissions to the use of false flag terror.
For example:
•The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950’s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected president
•Israel admits that an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind “evidence” implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed)
•The well-respected former Indonesian president admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali bombings
•The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: “You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security” (and see this)(Italy joined NATO in 1949, years before the bombings occurred)
•As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960’s, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba.

There are many links between Israeli operatives and 9/11. One of the most important is that of an Israeli-owned company called International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS) International N.V.
ICTS is a Netherlands-based aviation and transportation security firm headed by former Israeli military commanding officers and veterans of government intelligence and security agencies.
ICTS was responsible for airport security at three of the four airports that the hijacked airlines departed from on 9/11.
UAL Flight 175 and AA 11, which struck the twin towers in New York, both originated at Logan International Airport in Boston, while UAL 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania, departed from Newark International airport.
(The plane that purportedly hit the Pentagon left from Dulles International airport. Their security was handled by Securacom. The same company in charge of electronic security at the World Trade Center towers and the same company with Marvin Bush on its board of directors.)

No videos were ever released showing the hijackers boarding the planes in Boston or Newark. Nor did any of the passenger lists on the hijacked planes include any Arab names. Further, after the FBI released the names of the supposed hijackers, several of them showed up alive and well. Click here for article. Yet the government has never changed its story about who was on those planes.
The dastardly shoe bomber Richard Reid.
The underwear bomber
Since 9/11, ICTS has been involved in other incidents involving ‘terrorists’. Richard Reid, the ’shoe bomber’, was allowed by ICTS to board a plane at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris and fly to Miami in December 2001. More recently, America was subject to the underwear bomber who boarded a plane in the Netherlands and flew to the US on Christmas day. ICTS was again in charge of security at the airport and failed to detect any explosives.
So this is what is has come to. In an effort to terrorize the American public and set up a police state, mentally ill, drugged up patsies get flown in to threaten Americans with the equivalent of firecrackers.
Booo.
America has a history of going to war. Often the incidents that triggered these wars were staged events designed to mobilize public opinion and whip up the bloodlust needed to fight them. This short video offers examples of how many times Americans have been tricked into fighting a war on behalf of America’s ruling class.
SEC SECRET PROBE OF STOCK DEALINGS BEFORE 9/11
Between August 26 and September 11, 2001, a group of speculators, identified by the American Securities and Exchange Commission as Israeli citizens, sold “short” a list of 38 stocks that could reasonably be expected to fall in value as a result of the pending attacks. These speculators operated out of the Toronto, Canada and Frankfurt, Germany, stock exchanges and their profits were specifically stated to be “in the millions of dollars.”
Short selling of stocks involves the opportunity to gain large profits by passing shares to a friendly third party, then buying them back when the price falls. Historically, if this precedes a traumatic event, it is an indication of foreknowledge. It is widely known that the CIA uses the Promis software to routinely monitor stock trades as a possible warning sign of a terrorist attack or suspicious economic behavior. A week after the Sept.11 attacks, the London Times reported that the CIA had asked regulators for the Financial Services Authority in London to investigate the suspicious sales of millions of shares of stock just prior to the terrorist acts. It was hoped the business paper trail might lead to the terrorists.
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations There has been a great deal of talk about insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information about who made the trades was available immediately. “We would have been aware of any unusual activity right away. It would have been triggered by any unusual volume. There is an automated system called ‘blue sheeting,’ or the CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows about. It provides information on the trades – the name and even the Social Security number on an account – and these surveillance systems are set up specifically to look into insider trading. The system would look at the volume, and then a real person would take over and review it, going back in time and looking at other unusual activity.”
Howard continued, “The system is so smart that even if there is a news event that triggers a market event it can go back in time, and even the parameters can be changed depending on what is being looked at. It’s a very clever system and it is instantaneous. Even with the system, though, we have very experienced and savvy staff in our market-regulations area who are always looking for things that might be unusual. They’re trained to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Even if it’s offshore, it might take a little longer, but all offshore accounts have to go through U.S. member firms – members of the CBOE – and it is easily and quickly identifiable who made the trades. The member firm who made the trades has to have identifiable information about the client under the ‘Know Your Customer’ regulations (and we share all information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.)”

The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. that lasted from early 1997 to 2006.
It was co-founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan.
In September 2000, they published a controversial 90-page report entitled Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategies, Forces, and Resources For a New Century.
Signatories to the document included : Jeb Bush, Dick Cheney, Bill Bennett, Elliott Abrams, Gary Bauer, Eliot Cohen, Steve Forbes, Lewis Libby, Norman Podhoretz, Dan Quayle, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton, Charles Krauthammer, Rich Lowry, Ellen Bork, Linda Chavez, Frank Gaffney, John McCain, Richard Perle, and Dov Zakheim among others.
The report laid out four core principles to turn America into an empire. An empire that would exercise “full spectrum dominance” primarily through the use of its military. The four core principles were:
To significantly increase defense spending,
To strengthen ties to democratic allies and challenge regimes hostile to American interests and values,
To promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad; and
To accept responsibility for America’s unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to its security, prosperity, and principles.
One section of the report was particularly prescient. Section V of the report includes the following sentence:
“Further, 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”.
Luckily for them, one year later Bush and his PNAC cronies had their new Pearl Harbor on September 11, 2001.
Andrews Air Force Base. Just minutes away from the Capitol and the Pentagon.
No fighters had taken off from Andrews by 9:37 a.m., when the Pentagon was hit. Nor had any launched by the time Flight 93 apparently crashed in Pennsylvania, shortly after 10:00 a.m., while flying toward Washington. In fact, fighters did not launch from Andrews until over 90 minutes after the second attack in New York. The first fully armed fighters did not launch from there until more than two hours after that attack. So why was the Secret Service’s early request for help not acted upon? Why did fighter jets only take off from this massive Air Force base to defend the capital well after the morning’s attacks had ended?
SECRET SERVICE CALLS FAA HEADQUARTERS
The Secret Service agent who made the early request that fighter jets be launched appears to have been Nelson Garabito. Garabito was responsible for coordinating the president’s movements, and was also the Secret Service’s liaison to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). He was in the Secret Service Joint Operations Center (JOC) at the White House that morning. Just after Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower at 9:03 a.m., Garabito called Terry Van Steenbergen, his counterpart at the FAA, who was at the FAA headquarters in Washington. According to the 9/11 Commission, shortly into the call, Van Steenburgen told Garabito “that there were more planes unaccounted for–possibly hijacked–in addition to the two that had already crashed.”
Possibly in response to this information, Garabito appears to have asked Van Steenbergen to arrange for fighters to be launched over Washington. Van Steenbergen asked three of his colleagues at the FAA to call various air bases to see if they could get fighters into the air. One of these colleagues, Karen Pontius, had previously worked at Andrews Air Force Base, so she made the call to the FAA air traffic control tower there. [1] Garabito would have been unable to call the tower himself, because, according to a 9/11 Commission memorandum, the Secret Service “did not have a phone line to the Andrews tower.”
FAA HEADQUARTERS REQUESTS FIGHTERS
Pontius spoke to Steve Marra, an air traffic controller in the Andrews tower. Marra has recalled that Pontius “told him to launch F-16s to cap the airspace over Washington.” He relayed this information to the District of Columbia Air National Guard (DCANG), which is based at Andrews, across the airfield from the control tower. [2] Marra appears to have done so when DCANG officer Major Daniel Caine phoned the tower and asked if any air traffic control measures were being implemented in response to the attacks. [3] Caine later recalled that the tower controller–i.e. Marra–told him “that they just received the scramble order.” However, oddly, Caine told the 9/11 Commission that the Andrews tower “would not have been in the loop for any Secret Service orders to scramble aircraft.” [4]
If the DC Air National Guard was notified of this early “scramble order,” why was that order not acted upon? Pilots and others working for the DCANG at Andrews were already well aware of the crisis taking place. Upon learning of the second crash, someone at the unit reportedly yelled, “We’re under a terrorist attack!” [5] And, seeing the television coverage of the burning WTC towers, an officer exclaimed, “Well, holy shit, if this is a terrorist attack, we need to get something in the air!”
Furthermore, a request from the Secret Service should have carried considerable weight. According to author Lynn Spencer, “Given that the Secret Service provides protection to the president–and that the president, and the vice president when the president is not available, is the ultimate commander in chief of the military–the Secret Service also has certain authority over the military and, in this case, the DC Guard.” [6]
CAINE CALLS HIS SECRET SERVICE CONTACT
After his call to the control tower, Daniel Caine called his contact at the Secret Service, Kenneth Beauchamp, who was at the White House JOC. Caine later told the 9/11 Commission that, on reflection, he believed it was his hearing that the tower had received the “scramble order” that prompted him to call Beauchamp. [7]
And yet Beauchamp supposedly contradicted the Secret Service’s request for fighters. Even though it was obvious that the U.S. was under attack, and it should have been clear that Washington was a likely target for any further attacks, he said the Secret Service did not require assistance from the DCANG. Caine had asked: “Do you have any additional information? Are you guys going to need some help?” and Beauchamp replied, “No, but I’ll call you back if that changes.” [8]
Caine has said that during this call, which he described as “a very quick, confusing conversation,” Beauchamp told him that “things were happening and he’d call me back.” [9] However, Beauchamp did not call Caine back. [10] (Another Secret Service agent, though, did subsequently call Caine, and asked about getting fighters launched. [11])
According to Lieutenant Colonel Marc Sasseville, the acting operations group commander under the 113th Wing of the DCANG, at the time Caine spoke to Beauchamp, “we weren’t thinking about defending anything. Our primary concern was what would happen to the air traffic system.” [12] But when Brigadier General David Wherley, the commander of the DC Air National Guard, subsequently called the Secret Service JOC shortly after the Pentagon was hit and spoke to Beauchamp, Beauchamp implored him to launch jets to protect Washington. Beauchamp said: “We want you to put a CAP [combat air patrol] up over the city. We need some fighters now.” [13]
