We should never forget the victims of 911, and their loved ones and families
Eight years after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 questions still remain. Legitimate questions. Normal everyday people still wonder exactly what did happen on that day. The corporatemedia has been blaming Osama Bin Laden since about 20 minutes after the second plane hit the twin towers. The public is supposed to buy their story, exactly as it is presented, with no questions or be labelled – God forbid – a “truther”; and then be treated with scorn, ridicule, and contempt, sort of the way the media treats Ron Paul or Sarah Palin. Thousands of people killed, four different jets crash, three into buildings, and we are supposed to shut up and not ask questions. We are being treated like 1st graders, being told to put our head on our desk and shut our eyes. This was too big, too awful, and too quickly dismissed to not ask questions. Something is not right and just about everyone knows this.
On a personal level, I bought the story at first but after several years questions began to arise. When watching a replay of building 7 collapse for no apparently good reason I mentioned this to a friend. He acted like I was strange for even wondering what brought the building down. Then I saw a video of the building owner saying the decision was made to “pull” the building in the light of all the destruction and loss of life. I thought, okay, so they “pulled” – (brought down) – the building, so what? This led to me wonder how they could get the explosive charges in the building while it was on fire, etc. Since then my questions have mounted.
Why were the victims’ families and love ones treated like dirt when they had questions? Why were various reporters, when looking into the events in New York, told “leave it alone, you don’t know who you’re dealing with”? Why did Guiliani have firefighters arrested for protesting when they wanted a chance to recover their fallen brothers out of the rubble before the mayor had the debris hauled off? Why did the media not make a big deal of this? Why was there no on-scene investigation of the World Trade Center site? Why was a gag order put on the firefighters who were at the Twin Towers on 9/11? Why not let them speak? Another question was why does the media when bringing up 911 seem to focus on the Twin Towers but hardly focuses on the attack at the Pentagon?

A few years ago after briefly looking into what happened at the Pentagon on that day a question popped into my mind, Where is the debris from the plane? I looked a little further and found that many have asked the same question. Why were men in business suits picking up pieces of metal off the Pentagon lawn?
What really happened on 9/11? I do not know, but I do know that there are many unanswered questions. These questions do need to be looked into. The media finding fault and demeaning those who want answers is reprehensible. Yet, that is the way they roll. For the sake of this country and the families affected by this tragedy, let’s keep asking the questions and keep seeking the truth. We will prevail.
