We begin with a piece of the 9/11 puzzle not covered by Massimo Mazzucco's film:- the 2001 Anthrax Attacks carried out just after 9/11, which served to facilitate the passing of the Patriot Act by promoting terror, among the general public and among legislators. The White House staff were not taken by surprise - they started taking Cipro (the anti-anthrax antibiotic) a week before the attacks were launched. As we hear, there is in practice more or less no difference between (legal) defensive bio weapons research and (illegal) offensive bio weapons research -- and it tends to be carried out in highly secure facilities anyway, often under the auspices of the intelligence services behind a veil of 'national secrecy'. The South African truth and reconciliation committee gave us a rare glimpse - of extensive US/UK/South African collaboration and of plans to develop race specific bioweapons, for example, to lower the fertility of the black South African population. As well as examining some international patterns of bioweapons research, Bob Coen and Eric Nadler also focus their account on the 2001 Amerithrax case -- which lead to tens of billions of dollars in profits for bioweapons research companies.

"If he [Bruce Ivins] is the one who sent the letter, I do not believe in any way, shape or manner that he is the only person involved in this attack on Congress and the American people. I do not believe that at all. I believe there are others involved, either as accessories before or accessories after the fact. I believe that there are others out there, I believe there are others who could be charged with murder. I just want you to know how I feel about it, as one of the people who was aimed at in the attack." — Patrick Leahy, a target of an anthrax letter, head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, 2008

In our second hour, we continue with part 2 of Massimo Mazzucco's hard hitting New Pearl Harbor, which begins by looking at the Pentagon. It hints at answers, but generally sticks to difficult questions unanswered by the official narrative. Why, if there are 85 video tapes of the 757 hitting the pentagon, have only 2 been released - at least one of which has been badly photoshopped to obscure whatever hit the pentagon? Why does the report claim that the fuselage went the furthest into the pentagon, when this is the softest part of the plane? Why was no plane wreckage visible, no remains of passengers or luggage?

What about the purported crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania? Why was none of the plane visible? How could the crashed plane dig itself into the ground and then bury itself so completely that it was invisible, as the official report suggested? Why was there no plume of smoke, no smell of jet fuel and why was dry grass right next to the supposed crash site unscorched? Why was wreckage found up to 8 miles from the official site?

We begin the next section on WTC1&2, noting the millions of dollars needed to handle the asbestos they contained and the fact that Larry Silverstein was in a great hurry to take ownership of WTC1 & 2, which he did just 6 weeks before 9/11, and taking out a multi billion dollar insurance policy against terrorism.
Do you get tired of people asserting that "If there was a conspiracy, then someone would have talked", or "they had a commission and that vindicated the official version"? As we hear, Max Cleland resigned and stated that "the White House was playing cover up" while his replacement, Bob Kerry stated, after going along with the commission that 9/11 was "a 30 year conspiracy".

Thanks to Olivier for pointing me to the video, thanks to Active Ingredients for providing the Amerithrax piece, and hearty congratulations to WeAreChangeLA helping Bob Kerry to come clean.
