LOS ANGELES CITIZENS' GRAND JURY CONDEMNS GOVERNMENT ROLE IN 9/11 &

COVERUP;

 

SEES U.S.

" TREASONOUS INSIDE CABAL " AS RESPONSIBLE FOR 9/11 TERROR ATTACKS; FINDS

OFFICIAL STORY " IMPOSSIBLE, IMPLAUSIBLE " ON MULTIPLE POINTS

 

Demands Immediate Release of CIA Inspector General's Report, Cheney

Counter-Terrorism Task Force & War Game Records, Pentagon Evidence

Seized by FBI & Suppressed 9/11 Report of " broadly inaccurate accounts

by several civil & military officials "

 

Los Angeles, Oct. 31 – In findings issued today, the Los Angeles

Citizens' Grand Jury condemned the 9/11 Commission's official version of

the events of September 11, 2001 as " physically impossible, untenable,

contradictory, implausible and fraudulent " and called for the release of

several documents specifically naming officials responsible for 9/11,

being withheld until after the election.

Citing evidence that at least 8 of the 19 alleged suicide hijackers

reported themselves alive after 9/11, that the World Trade Center Towers

and Building 7 came down not from fires from the planes but controlled

demolition explosives which require weeks to prepare, and Administration

managed " war games " (including a field training exercise scenario

covering multiple hijackings and a plane going into a building) that

were actually happening on 9/11 as causing air traffic controller

confusion & lack of fighter response, the nation's first Citizens' Grand

Jury on 9/11 unabashedly concluded 9/11 was " an inside job " that demands

" legal prosecution, civil liability and political condemnation " around

the world.

 

According to the nation's first Citizens' Grand Jury on 9/11, the US

government must immediately release the CIA Inspector General's report

on 9/11, which assigns blame to certain high level officials but whose

release is being suppressed by new CIA Director Porter Goss until after

the election, according to published reports. Goss is reported to

have been having breakfast on the morning of 9/11 with the Pakistani ISI

" money man " himself, General Mahmud Ahmed, who had wired $100,000 to the

alleged head-hijacker Mohammed Atta.

LA's Citizens' Grand Jury also issued a demand that the records of the

Vice-President's Counter-Terrorism Task Force and preparation and

co-ordination of the emergency exercises/war games the Vice President

was overseeing on 9/11 be released as they may well have contributed to

the lack of fighter response to the hijackings.

 

In addition, the Citizens' Grand Jury demanded that the FBI release all

surveillance videotape and related evidence being withheld bearing on

the flying object which hit the Pentagon on the morning of 9/11.

Evidence presented to the Jury suggested that due to the absence of

debris from a 60-ton 757, limited damage to the Pentagon, an

" implausible " flight pattern and lack of skill of the alleged Arab

hijacker pilot, possibly a missile or a remote controlled drone actually

hit the Pentagon instead of American flight # 77 which was last tracked

over Ohio by air traffic controllers. The Jury chose to delay a

finding on the Pentagon, pending further deliberation of eye witness

reports and surveillance documentation.

Acknowledging vast resources and unacknowledged evidence ignored by the

9/11 Kean-Hamilton Commission Report, the Los Angeles Citizens' Grand

Jury rejected the official version of 9/11 labeling it " a propaganda

fabrication designed to favor the unleashing of aggressive war, while

hiding the activity of a treasonous cabal of high-level elected and

appointed civilian U.S. government and military officials, and private

and/or contracted third parties and rogue agents under their known or

unknown direction yet to be determined who both actively prepared,

promoted, organized, assisted, fomented, and/or passively favored the

September 11 attacks and supported the cover-up that followed " .

The Citizens' Grand Jury, which had begun its deliberations on Saturday,

October 23 with a large public meeting in the Bob Hope Patriotic Hall

near the Los Angeles Civic Center, refuted the claims of the 9/11

Commission Report on several detailed points. They decided to

evaluate the attacks as a crime by considering " motive, means and

opportunity " which on several counts were beyond what Osama bin Laden

and 19 suicide hijackers could have accomplished unaided. Noting in

particular the lack of fighter response for 1 hour and 40 minutes when

" 67 times in the year prior to 9/11 by following established procedures

when planes went out of communication or off course, the system worked

perfectly " and fighter planes were usually scrambled within 15 minutes.

In addition, they noted the fate of WTC building 7, a 47-story building

housing the DOD, IRS and Security and Exchange Commission, among others,

which has generally been ignored in press reports. At 5:20 pm on

9/11, it collapsed into its own footprint – characteristic of a

controlled demolition - without being hit by a plane or debris from the

falling Towers and with minimal fires that allegedly could have been

easily extinguished. Jurors viewed a video of the WTC Leaser, Larry

Silverstein, who said he and the fire department in the afternoon of

9/11 agreed to " pull it " which is a controlled demolitions industry

phrase that means to demolish through the use of pre-placed explosives.

They concluded the liklihood of a controlled demolition of WTC7 was

beyond what Osama bin Laden and 19 hijackers could have done unaided,

which further suggested 9/11 was an inside job.

The Citizens' Grand Jury is composed of 25 average Americans of diverse

ethnic, national, religious and professional backgrounds – including a

9/11 family member, a private investigator, a medical doctor, a college

student, a therapist, an educator, the director of personnel and

training for a major union, an author on the holocaust, and a retired

forensic investigator. They issued today's findings after several days

of consideration on the language of the findings, adding extensive

demands for withheld evidence.

The Citizens' Grand Jury heard evidentiary presentations from 9/11

researchers Jim Hoffman and Don Paul, authors of Waking Up From Our

Nightmare: The 9/11 Crimes in New York City, Webster Tarpley, author of

George Bush: An Unauthorized Biography and the upcoming 911 Synthetic

Terror: Made in the USA and DOD's Barbara Honegger, former White House

policy analyst and author of the October Surprise who broke the story

of the " numerous emergency response exercises/'war games' that have been

officially acknowledged to have been carried out on the morning of

September 11, 2001 under the various directions of Vice-President

Cheney, the Pentagon/Joint Chiefs of Staff, NORAD (Air Force), the

National Reconnaissance Office (NRO, staffed mainly by Air

Force/military and CIA personnel), and FEMA " featured in depth in

Michael Ruppert's best selling Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of

the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil.

The Grand Jury also viewed photographs and film clips including Senator

Mark Dayton testifying before a Senate committee reviewing with

Commissioners Kean and Hamilton NORAD's " lies " regarding the 9/11

timeline calling for accountability for the " unbelievable negligence " .

They also viewed taped and/or written testimony from David Ray Griffin,

author of The New Pearl Harbor on the 9/11 Commission's Omissions, Mike

Ruppert summarizing the war games excerpted from the Canadian

best-selling documentary with Barry Zwicker, The Great Conspiracy, and

researchers Nafeez Ahmed, author of The War on Freedom: How and Why

America Was Attacked Sept. 11, 2001 and Paul Thompson, author of The 911

Terror Timeline.

The findings of the Los Angeles Citizens' Grand Jury represent the most

detailed and thorough refutation of the US government's official account

of what allegedly happened on 9/11 ever formally issued by a people's

fact-finding body. Formal presentation of Findings and References

will follow their next deliberation scheduled for mid-November where

they will address other questions, including specific responsibilities

of US government officials and persons in the private sector pivotal to

the events of 9/11.

" It is the hardest thing in the world to confront, " explained Citizens'

Grand Jury convener, Lynn Pentz, " that members of our own government are

responsible for perjury, treason and mass murder of their own citizens

as well as citizens from 82 other nations around the world.

 

" Given our political and judicial systems have refused to deal with the

reality of 9/11, " she explained, " We the People must now be responsible

for our representatives' lies, their war on our freedoms, their

terrorizing tactics, the death and destruction they are waging in our

names, their bankrupting of our nation with their endless war for profit

and global hegemony, and for our allowing the increasing rise of a

police state here in America - all rationalized by the official story of

9/11 and the politicians and media who have exploited it. The Citizens'

Grand Jury has shown we are way past begging for the unanswered

questions to be answered. We know a lot of the answers and they are

not pretty. "

Ms. Pentz is a well-known southern California activist of the

international 9/11 truth movement, and co-founder of 911TruthLA.us, the

host organization of the LA Citizens' Grand Jury. Ms. Pentz

participated in both the International Citizen's Inquiries in San

Francisco and Toronto and attended the 9/11 Kean-Hamilton Commission

Hearings in New York which she declared were " appalling to any citizen

committed to finding the truth and assuring accountability for what

actually happened " .

After presenting well-verified evidence to the 9/11 Commissioners of the

Administration's bogus Orange alerts, Silverstein's ordering the

destruction of WTC7 which " housed the People's business " (ie: 200 open

investigations of securities fraud), and evidence that many of the

alleged hijackers were still alive after 9/11, Pentz says, " she then

knew that they knew and chose to cover up the truth instead of reveal

it. "

She even showed two Commissioners, FBI Director Robert Mueller's

statement to CNN that there is " no legal proof to prove the identities

of the suicidal hijackers " and his April 19, 2002 admission, " In our

investigation, we have not uncovered a single piece of paper – either

here in the United States or in the treasure trove of information that

has turned in Afghanistan and elsewhere – that mention any suspect of

the September 11th plot. "

" None of this (and so much other) evidence, and none of the connecting

of the obvious dots that point to government complicity, were even

referred to in the Commission's Report. So, its now incumbent on the

People to take back their government by not settling until the real

perpetrators are held accountable and the systems that allow such abuses

have real citizen oversight so these egregious abuses of public trust

cannot happen again. "

Several such efforts are happening nationally. Activists in New York

have just filed a petition with state Attorney General, Elliott Spitzer,

with an unprecedented Citizens' Complaint Demanding a Criminal Inquiry

into the 9/11 Crimes as part of their " Summer of Truth " campaign. San

Francisco's Stanley Hilton represents 400 9/11 family members in a suit

charging government complicity in the events of 9/11. Grass roots

demonstrations are continuing and legal actions are beginning to move

forward.

According to Webster Tarpley, a key witness in the proceedings, " With

today's release of findings, the Los Angeles Citizens' Grand Jury has

taken a giant step beyond the unanswered questions of 9/11, towards

positive determinations of what really happened and who was responsible.

On the eve of the US Presidential elections, these findings represent a

qualitatively new phase in the people's campaign against the US

government's Big Lies about 9/11. "

" We call on citizens here and around the world to have your own

Citizens' Grand Juries, review the evidence and decide for yourselves " ,

said Ms. Pentz. " Then, we must all, demand our governments hold the real

perpetrators of 9/11 criminally, civilly and politically responsible. In

the meantime, we must do the hard work of confronting 'the enemy is us'

and not settle until we have truly cleaned house " .
