They All Know
It is an amply documented fact -- no news whatsoever -- that the Bush administration had absolute foreknowledge of 9/11, and deliberately ignored warnings received within the US and from officials and intelligence agencies outside the US.
As written by Michel Chossudovsky, “the foreknowledge issue itself is a red herring, a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue . . . Of course the Bush administration knew." Of course Washington “knew” about its own false flag operation. Of course Washington “knew” about using its own covert intelligence network. Of course Washington “knows” that 9/11 was an intelligence “success," not an intelligence “failure."
The media’s spotlight on “foreknowledge” and “lapses” serve to distract public attention from the deliberate cover-up of these facts:
1. 9/11 and the “war on terrorism” was and is a long-planned US operation carried out and sponsored by Washington consensus; official US geostrategic policy, carried out by the Bush administration, with unanimous bipartisan involvement from the US Congress, and with support from Wall Street.
2. “Islamic terrorism," including Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, is a creation of Anglo-American military intelligence. These networks have functioned in this role for the past two decades, and continue to carry out this role today.
3. Al-Qaeda is an apparatus that is supported by Pakistan’s ISI, which is itself is connected to the CIA.
4. Pakistan’s ISI chief, General Mahmoud Ahmad, who wired funds for the 9/11 operation to alleged 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta, met and dined with members of the Bush administration, the CIA (George Tenet), and key members of the US Congress, Republicans as well as Democrats. In other words, Washington in its entirety is implicated in 9/11.
Good piece overall, good discussions of Bob Woodward's book "Sate of Denial" and Pervez Musharref's book and the rampant hypocrisy of everyone in DC.
In the context of this article, and what I tend to agree with, is that it makes complete sense that 9/11 was a massive psy-op using top secret and state-of-the-art technology, and that there are several layers of "truth" involved in 9/11. "No-planes" or "no-conventional-planes" would be one of the central layers here.
I still have a problem with the idea of 9/11 being a mechanism to start down the raod to a "police state".
Certainly, 9/11 has brought us closer to a "police state", but I tend to doubt that a "police state" is the ultimate goal of the planners and the elites. Rather, 9/11 allowed them to put in place measures that would more easily ALLOW a police state-- IF they found it necessary in the future. If they feel they need to control society more than they already do, which might happen if they felt threatened in some way... such as if 9/11 was exposed, ironically.

RE: The U.S. as a police state: Have you looked into information on the hundreds of secret prison camps set up all over the country?
To see a police state as an ultimate destination of 9/11 intent, it is helpful to consider the notion that a dark, ultimate purpose of The-Powers-That-Be (TPTB) is to drastically reduce the population of the world -- including in this country.
I agree with you in a certain sense: It makes no sense for TPTB to overtly proclaim a police state when they already exercise an adequate level of control.
Along these lines, check out Jason Miller's new article:
http://www.rense.com/general73/crex.htm
Here is a telling segment from it:
"Employing a bizarre reverse aversion therapy -- let's call it saturation therapy -- corporate news outlets, the government, Madison Avenue, revisionist historians, television, and Hollywood work in concert to proliferate the spiritual cancers of narcissism, avarice, hubris, materialism, self-absorption, pornography, gluttony, pathological nationalism, obsession with external beauty, and xenophobia.
"It is not a leap of logic to conclude that perceived superiority over the rest of humanity, deeply rooted denial, an inculcated devotion to rapacious capitalism, and the spiritual ills resulting from "saturation therapy" combine to form a strong impetus for sociopathic behavior."
In other words, we Americans as a group are already 'with the program' as it is. As long as we don't perceive our own demise in that program, we're already 'had'.

On the other hand, two factors say different: (1) The people now in control, being certifiably sociopathic, have no 'sense' in the ordinary understanding of that term and (2) the trajectory of their actions has been inexorably toward a police state. IMV, this is the same basic situation as with a highly developed military machine: When a government has that, in the end it is used for war. So, if the government has all the accoutrements of a police state, why would it not ultimately use that for its intended purpose?

Good points, anon. Thanks.
Here's another piece along these same lines:
Coming to America: The Disappeared

And more from Jason Miller:
Of Faux Democracy, Petty Tyrants, and Painful Realities
By Jason Miller
10/8/06
http://civillibertarian.blogspot.com/ (scroll down)
“The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves.”
---attributed to Dresden James
Near the end, Miller writes:
"It is unlikely that a significant number of people in the United States will find the motivation to pierce the simulacrum until they have experienced severe hardship or pain. Many US Americans are not even aware that their enslaved psyches condemn them to an existential hell of spiritual vacuousness, blind loyalty to a ruthless empire, and obsessive devotion to a predatory economic system. And many of those who do become aware don’t care as long as they can continue to relish heaping portions of fat-laden addictive repasts from the ubiquitous Golden Arches, to intellectually gorge themselves with the brain candy eagerly proffered by the corporate media as propagandistic seeds sown into the rich soil of otherwise fallow minds, to make Faustian bargains with Visa to adorn their walls with plasma televisions of elephantine proportions , and to drive urban assault vehicles capable of transporting small armies and ensuring that they will dominate the road."
Great use of language.
I guess this is your argument; still, at some point the trajectory would lead inexorably to the ultimate nightmare, as suggested by Chris Floyd in the article I just referenced.
Here's how Miller ends his piece:
"Given humankind’s United States-led pursuit of self-destruction, an economic, ecological, or humanitarian cataclysm is virtually inevitable at some point. However, there is a silver lining. The survivors who rise from the ashes like the mythical Phoenix will be blessed with a second chance. And let’s hope those Founding Parents will have the wisdom to remake civilization according to truly democratic, just, and humane principles."
For some reason Miller fails to identify the possibility of a political cataclysm. I'm wondering if our American attachment to the ideal of our 'democracy' is so strong that the possible consequences of its total negation are simply the last place we're willing to go -- even when it's staring us in the face.
What is so maddening is knowing that, if only people would wake up, they would see it -- and the 'inevitable' would not have to be.
Are you familiar with Paul Levy?
http://www.awakeninthedream.com/html/
Levy is a self-described Jungian social activist.
His ideas are getting around. To my amazement, I recently (i.e., within the last couple of months) saw them show up in a piece by James Moore on Karl Rove. Anyway, if you're open to this kind of thinking, I highly recommend Levy. A good place to start is with his article "The Madness of George W Bush".
Another reason to go there? Levy manages to remain positive, hopeful, and loving even as he looks squarely into the heart of the darkness.
