Agreed. So where are your details of Israelis carrying enough explosives to blow up a bridge? Or even one firecracker?
The Jerusalem Post later reported that a white van with a bomb was stopped as it approached the George Washington Bridge, but the ethnicity of the suspects was not revealed. Here's what the Jerusalem Post reported on September 12, 2001:
American security services overnight stopped a car bomb on the George Washington Bridge. The van, packed with explosives, was stopped on an approach ramp to the bridge. Authorities suspect the terrorists intended to blow up the main crossing between New Jersey and New York, Army Radio reported. (13)
"...two suspects are in FBI custody after a truckload of explosives was discovered around the George Washington Bridge ... The FBI ... says enough explosives were in the truck to do great damage to the George Washington Bridge."

It was reported the van contained tonnes of explosives (14).
What's really intriguing is that ABC's 20/20 (15), the New York Post (16), and the New Jersey Bergen Record (17) all clearly and unambiguously reported that a white van with Israelis was intercepted on a ramp near Route 3, which leads directly to the Lincoln Tunnel.
But the Jerusalem Post, Israeli National News (Arutz Sheva) (18), and Yediot America, (19) all reported, just as clearly and unambiguously, that a white van with Israelis was stopped on a ramp leading to the George Washington Bridge, which is several miles north of the Lincoln Tunnel.
It appears as if there may actually have been two white vans involved, one stopped on each crossing. This would not only explain the conflicting reports as to the actual location of the arrests, but would also explain how so many credible eye-witnesses all saw celebrating "middle-easterners" in a white van in so many different locations. It also explains why the New York Post and Steve Gordon (lawyer for the 5 Israelis) originally described how three Israelis were arrested but later increased the total to five.
Perhaps one van was meant to drop off a bomb while the other was meant to pick up the first set of drivers while re-crossing back into New Jersey? If a van was to be used as a parked time-bomb on the GW Bridge, then certainly the drivers would need to have a "get-away van" to pick them up and escape. And notice how the van (or vans) stayed away from the third major crossing -the Holland Tunnel- which was where the police had originally been directed to by that anti-Palestinian 9-1-1 "mystery caller". A classic misdirection play.
From there, the story gets becomes even more suspicious. The Israelis worked for a Weehawken moving company known as Urban Moving Systems. An American employee of Urban Moving Systems told the The Record of New Jersey that a majority of his co-workers were Israelis and they were joking about the attacks.
The employee, who declined to give his name said: "I was in tears. These guys were joking and that bothered me." These guys were like, "Now America knows what we go through." (20)
A few days after the attacks, Urban Moving System's Israeli owner, Dominick Suter, dropped his business and fled the country for Israel. He was in such a hurry to flee America that some of Urban Moving System's customers were left with their furniture stranded in storage facilities (21).
Suter's departure was abrupt, leaving behind coffee cups, sandwiches, cell phones and computers strewn on office tables and thousands of dollars of goods in storage. Suter was later placed on the same FBI suspect list as 9/11 lead hijacker Mohammed Atta and other hijackers and suspected al-Qaeda sympathizers, suggesting that U.S. authorities felt Suter may have known something about the attacks. (22)
The Jewish weekly The Forward reported that the FBI finally concluded that at least two of the detained Israelis were agents working for the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, and that Urban Moving Systems, the ostensible employer of the five Israelis, was a front operation. This was confirmed by two former CIA officers, and they noted that movers' vans are a common intelligence cover. (23). The Israelis were held in custody for 71 days before being quietly released. (24)
"There was no question but that [the order to close down the investigation] came from the White House. It was immediately assumed at CIA headquarters that this basically was going to be a cover-up so that the Israelis would not be implicated in any way in 9/11." (25)
It calls Israel's armed forces a "500-pound gorilla in Israel. Well armed and trained. Operates in both Gaza and the West Bank. Known to disregard international law to accomplish mission. Very unlikely to fire on American forces. Fratricide a concern especially in air space management."
Of the MOSSAD, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS officers say: "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act."

The pilot episode, which first aired on March 4, 2001, concerned a terrorist plot to fly a hijacked airplane into the World Trade Center towers.
BYERS SNR: John.
BYERS: Dad.
BYERS SNR: What the hell are you doing? Why can't you stay out of this. Leave me buried.
BYERS: What is scenario 12-D?
BYERS: We know it's a war game scenario. That it has to do with airline counter-terrorism. Why is it important enough to kill for.
BYERS SNR: Because it's no longer a game.
BYERS: But if some terrorist group wants to act out this scenario, then why target you for assassination?
BYERS SNR: Depends on who your terrorists are.
BYERS: The men who conceived of it the first place. You're saying our government is planning to commit a terrorist act against a domestic airline?
BYERS SNR: There you go, indicting the entire government, as usual. A faction, a small faction...
BYERS: For what possible gain?
BYERS SNR: The Cold War's over, John. But with no clear enemy to stockpile against, the arms market's flat. But bring down a fully loaded 727 into the middle of New York City and you'll find a dozen tin-pot dictators all over the world just clamoring to take responsibility, and begging to be smart-bombed.
BYERS: I can't believe this. This is about increasing arms sales? ...
BYERS SNR: This flight was chosen primarily for its visibility. It's schedule to pass over Manhattan on its way to Boston.
BYERS: You said they intend to bring this down in the middle of New York City?
BYERS SNR: Shush!
BYERS: What if there is no bomb.
BYERS SNR: Well, how they going to bring it down?
BYERS: The same way a dead man can drive a car. ...
LANGLY: Modem protocol. Remote access. Somebody on the ground's flying your plane. ...
BYERS: World Trade Center. They're going to crash it into the World Trade Center. ...
BYERS: You're not going to testify. You're going to let them cover this up.
BYERS SNR: They almost killed me twice. They won't fail a third time. My silence will keep me alive. And you. I know you and your friends are fighting for the American dream. Just don't expect to win. ...

Good point. However, I think it's clear that elements within the U.S. would have had to have helped them out. I also know there were elements within U.S. intelligence that wanted to prevent it from occuring. There was one story of a man who knew what was going to happen but was jailed until after it happened, apparently to prevent him from revealing it. I wish I had the link where I read this.
*snip*
I still think that the pilot episode for "The Lone Gunman" is indicative that atleast one person within the intelligence community was trying to stop it from happening.

Yes, I definitely agree that the covert elements of the US govt assisted the Mossad in their effort to play their part in the 911 event, for sure.

And, wow, thank you for the lone gunman's pilot -- on TV, no less. I didn't know that.

Well that's how the damn elites do it -- they frequently hide vital truths and facts in the open, in TV, movies, and stories of various kinds, so that when people hear other people talking about "wild theories", then can say "oh you saw it in a movie... next".
Sneaky bastids, they are, the elites.

...the main point is this: ALL of the politicians and people who matter are fully aware of what happened on 9-11 and basically they all know that elements of the far right wing military/industrial etc., complex pulled off an inside job with the help of Israel and others to advance the interests of the people involved...to enrich them and position them politically as well.

The perpetrators sent a very clear message with OKC, 9-11 and the Anthrax letters to the people that might take a stand: We have won and you will die if you make a stink...ever.

The sheer number of ' inexplicable anomalies' associated with this event alone makes any intelligent and thinking person admit that the official story is nonsense.
Originally posted by richierich
Intelligent people kNOW that 9-11 was an inside job. There is no question about it to them. It insults the informed mind to try and insist that excuses can be believed for the hundreds and thousands of facts that prove the oficial story a fantasy. Those who would defend the official story faqll into two main groups:
First, the ignorant or uneducated often will accept the official story. They simply cannot compute odds and factor in likelihoods in assessing realistic assumptions. Because THEY cannot imagine grand schemes they insist that no one else can either. Such staggering gaul is symptomatic of the uninformed; they substitute passion for logic.

The other group are those that have an agenda for denying simple reality, whether it be financial or political, and they do not have the excuse of a lack of education or knowledge. They simply insist that all of the empirical evidence is invalid because to admit the truth would be tantamount to admitting a total and complete lack of control over destiny, and that they cannot and will not allow, for personal psychological reasons.
Originally posted by richierich
Their entire framework for existing in this mad world is to imagine that they can rely on the superstructure to support them and protect them, and to admit this is not true would undermine their comfort level to the point of desperation.

In other words, many people cannot deal with their own govenment being controlled by criminal elements so despicable that they would murder vast numbers of Americans, as well as others, to accomplish their political and personal goals.
