CROSSING THE RUBICON: The Decline of the American Empire at the End
of the Age of Oil"

ADDRESS OF MICHAEL C. RUPPERT
FOR THE COMMONWEALTH CLUB – SAN FRANCISCO
TUESDAY AUGUST 31, 2004

...

There is no room for stereotypical thinking in a time of
crisis. As faiz khan said to me once, a paradigm is what you
think about something before you think about it. It is these
traps which we must all avoid.

I will say one more thing before leaving the subject of 9/11
tonight. I like many americans and many people around the
world have serious lingering questions about the collapse
of the twin towers, what it was that actually struck the
pentagon and what – in the name of god – it was that caused
the collapse of wtc 7, a building that had not even been
struck during the attacks.

Unfortunately, the physical evidence was quickly destroyed
and scientific analysis is not available to us to answer these
important questions. In order to make the strongest legal
case possible i have avoided discussions of physical evidence
– open to acrimonious debate and scientific challenge – and
chosen to do what any good police officer must do; keep my
eye on the suspects. It does not take a scientist to prove that george bush, dick cheney, donald rumsfeld, condi rice,
general ralph eberhart, general richard myers, fbi director
robert mueller, john ashcroft and george tenet lied to the
american people.


There is a record that proves this and that is the record i
will present to you in “crossing the rubicon.”

But on the subject of wtc 7 i will, in my book, explain why that
particular building had to be destroyed. And although i
cannot prove to you how the twin towers were collapsed, i
will show you who performed the requisite studies that
would have been essential to pull off that feat.

:wow:

must read for anyone who is interested in the key outstanding questions that remain surrounding that horrid day and their distrubing indications.

anyone who hasn't seen the symmetrically perfect collapse of wtc7 in it's own footprint must watch this...

1. It sure LOOKED like a building that was being imploded
... by pre-planted devices. At least, IMHO. :shrug:

4. Inside that building were choice bits of history and evidence
Inside that building were choice bits of history and evidence. Its tenants included the Internal Revenue Service, the Secret Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Mayor's office of Emergency Management and the CIA's New York Station. (Source: http://www.serendipity.li/wot/7wtc.html) Nothing makes sense to explain the collapse of this building except controlled demolition. Yet go to Google again and enter WTC 7 and one finds more than 1,800 entries. In my opinion watching one film of the WTC 7 collapse says as much as JFK's front-to-back movement. Please see http://www.wtc7.net/videos.html. It is inconceivable that this building was brought down by planes that hit buildings approximately a hundred yards away.

5. Unless we get Oliver Stone on board...this alas doesn't seem to go
anywhere. There was more outrage in the public at the time JFK was shot but afterwards with more deaths of Bobby, Martin and the rest, the public wearied of it all. What's out there today seems to prefer listing to Ann Coulter or Chris Matthews than to be outraged by anything other than political food fights.

And to suggest anything about 9/11 other than the official line is to be called a "conspiracy theorist." I don't go along with the "hidden explosives" theory of the WTC's collapsing, but I would believe just about anything else.

The answer probably lies more with negligence and a breach of our security so that a terrorist group broke into the "war games" Cheney was running that day...and no one wants to admit they got caught with their pants down...but the breach of intelligence probably was Mossad and maybe Blair had a hand in it, or it was just convenient for he and Shrub after they drank the Kool-Aid at their first meeting at Camp David. Remember they use the same toothpaste.

Reading today about the stuff that the PNAC'ers have been selling in software to foreign governments, including Israel on a post today having to do with "Spygate," it would seem that 9/11 was coordinated and they managed to breach our whole defense system. We know Bush/Cheney/PNAC would never ever admit to that so conveniently they went into Iraq and they will go into the rest of the Middle East because it all conveniently covers up their incompetence and decades of the Repugs selling arms and secrets to other countries behind our elected government officials backs. So, we got paid back with 9/11 and they are now paying back the folks who tried to expose them...

Whatever...I hope one day someone really makes a Movie of this...for a wide audience. We who go to the documentaries are too small a group..and we get labeled..
