View Full Version : Looks Like Most of the Jersey Girls Really Are Woo-Woos

9-11 Press for Truth was clearly done by a kook (Kyle Hence) with the 9-11 Deniers in mind, but I was somewhat on the fence as to whether that's what the Jersey Girls intended. But judging by this article (http://www.rawstory.com/showarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.muckrakerrepo rt.com%2Fid358.html), they've gone woo-woo themselves:

Many of the original questions put to the 9/11 Commission by the Family Steering Committee have since become staples of what’s known as the 9/11 truth movement. For instance, as the widows point out, exactly what made WTC 7 collapse when it was never hit by a plane is still just as much of an enigma today as it was prior to the 9/11 Commission, and they also wonder why NORAD’s protocols weren’t followed during the attacks. Moreover, they find it strange that 9/11 isn’t listed on Osama bin Laden’s FBI most wanted poster, when the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa are. (In June of 2006, Muckraker Report editor Ed Haas spoke on the phone with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI, who told him the reason why 9/11 wasn’t listed on the poster was because Osama bin Laden had never been formally indicted by the Justice Department in connection with 9/11 and the FBI has no hard evidence linking him to the attacks).

“There are just so many unanswered questions,” says Van Auken. “I would say you need roughly 400 hours of research to graduate from 9/11 kindergarten class. That’s why it’s so hard to keep people on the same page, because they’re coming at this issue from a million different angles. A friend might tell them about building 7, or they might watch Loose Change on the internet, or they’ll say, ‘Hold it a second, you can’t make cell phone calls from an airplane.’ And then suddenly a little alarm bell goes off in their brain, and they say, ‘Wow, we don’t know the whole story about this.’ That’s all it takes, the little alarm bell, and then, bam, welcome to the place we’ve been living in for the last six years.”

Note: Perhaps the most famous of the Jersey Girls, Kristen Breitweiser, was not associated with the 9-11 Press for Truth movie and is not quoted in the article.

If the Jersey Girls are saying that calls couldn't be placed from the planes, well that's just another nail in the "truth" movement's coffin. If the argument is going to be, "my husband really was killed on 9/11 but your husband wasn't", it's going to turn into an ugly mess.

actually, they just want to know why the government ignored the many warnings about the building of a terroristic threat against the US> all of which of cousre was answered in the 9/11 commission report; you know the report that they fought tooth and nail to get additional funding for and are still unhappy about its findings.

What exactly are their unanswered questions?

In 9-11 Press For Truth, the first question they raised was why were the planes flying around for "almost two hours" without a response from the Air Force. Of course, the planes were not flying around off course for two hours, and the most advance warning NEADS had prior to the crash was something like 7 minutes for Flight 11 (the first plane to crash). They even bring up the Payne Stewart example (which shows they're not quite out of 9-11 kindergarten).

The second question they asked, no kidding, was why did it take the Secret Service so long to get the president out of that elementary school? And the third question, seriously, was why didn't the 9-11 Commission explain what happened to WTC 7?

By that point I knew it was aimed at the Woosers, which is why they've embraced it even though it supposedly doesn't advocate any of their kooky conspiracy theories. But I've always kind of thought the Jersey Girls weren't aware of the CT subtext that Hence was pushing.

“What I saw on 9/11 totally flew in the face of everything I thought this country was about,” says Casazza. “For the people standing crowded and on their own in the opening of the broken windows of the towers, there were no police, Coast Guard, or military helicopters. They could have at least been thrown parachutes so that they could have attempted their own rescue.
With questions like these, the answers are so obvious... and I don't think you could ever run out of such questions.

Arus808

omg...thrown them their own parachutes? this is why "family members" shouldn't be on any "new" investigation team. They'll be like the people on Survivor; too much in the way to get anything done.

Yes, sorry, i was referring to this totally made-up paragraph written by Brainster some weeks ago:

There's also a huge focus on WTC-7, which shows that this is just a CT film trying to masquerade as legitimate questions from the widows. Why do they care about WTC-7 when none of their husbands died there--when in fact nobody died there? It's irrelevant to what really happened that day unless you're a CT nut and don't believe the hijackers existed, and the buildings were brought down with controlled demolition.

You are correct Childlike. I was startled that they got into WTC 7 about 12 minutes into the movie and inflated that to "huge focus". Essentially, as I have pointed out, it was the third area they covered in the film. But you are correct, it's really a small part of the film despite the position.

There was a documentary on HBO, part of the "America Undercover" series, dealing with a father telling his son that the boy's mom (his ex-wife) was killed on 9-11. Part of it dealt with the sister being upset that the father would now get custody of the son. She objected to his Pentecostal beliefs, and thought they might damage the boy psychologically. However, she then started talking about how Nostradamus predicted 9-11 in one of his quatranes.

You make the call!

Nope, misremembered. I remembered being surprised at the WTC 7 mention in the film, given that's the collapse nobody died in, that everybody anticipated, and that nobody but a Troofer finds significant. I see all of these films within a couple weeks of their coming out thanks to BG, the comments page truth spammer on SLC. The post you point to for my comment is from January 17th of this year; my first post on 9-11 PFT (http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2006/09/9-11-press-for-truth-analysis-part-i.html) on the blog is from September 23, 2006 about four months earlier, and about 13 days after the film was released to Google (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5589099104255077250&q=press+for+truth).

I don't know why any of this would surprise anyone. Losing a loved one in a sudden tragic way does not abruptly make one sudden incredibly insightful, intelligent, scientific, and skeptical. Usually it makes you emotional and irrational.

The fact is there are literally thousands of people out there who are direct relatives of 9/11 victims. Statistically a chunk of them will be woos. Their loss will only enhance their woo.

Aside from the fact that their questions show they really know very little about 9/11 (despite professing to have researched it every day for years), it seems pretty clear to me the Jersey Girls wanted the 9/11 Commission to go something like this:

"Person X was the one who failed to stop 9/11 happening, and it's person X's fault your loved ones died. Person X will be punished accordingly."

Because (gasp, shock horror!) no one was really responsible for 9/11 except the terrorists who did it, the Jersey Girls didn't get to hang anyone from a tree. So just like a clansman whose negro got away, they're pissed.

Coulter's attack on women who lost their husbands in the WTC attacks was typical of a women who's intentionally stupid and offensive.

However, anyone who gives credence to the idea that the calls from 93 were faked is doing essentially the same thing. It's accusing the people who recieved those calls of either lying or being deluded.

Ann Coulter could tell me that vitamins are good for me and I'd be tempted to reject it. She has to play this character because it has made her career, but her personality and nastiness is so off-putting that even good points get lost.

I almost hate to see her say something I agree with because I know her personality immediately disqualifies it to lots of people. So yes, at the core she was right about how it's wrong to use the 9/11 widows in a political campaign, and how those cheap emotional appeals and exploited victms do nothing to advance debate.

But then she thinks she has to take the truth and dip it in a batter of hateful insults and fry it up before anybody will want to consume it. And maybe she's right, the way people are these days. But the reality is she poisons everything she says and undoes whatever good she thinks she's doing for her cause. Same with Michael Moore. Even if he says something that's right, I find myself not wanting to be believing the same thing as someone that dishonest and hateful.

It's true that most people here are hostile to Truthers, and we are making fun of them, but that's because Truthers refuse to acknowledge that all the questions they ask have been answered thoroughly, and all the facts that they bring to the table have been shown to be completelty wrong and unsubstanciated, and often utter lies.

Source: Khilafah.com, 10 Oct 2001

I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle.

Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American people have been killed. According to my information, the death toll is much higher than what the U.S. Government has stated. But the Bush Administration does not want the panic to spread. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the U.S. system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive.


You take his word that he was never aided by the CIA, do you take his word he was not involved in the 9/11 attacks?

Even the mainstream media has to acknowledge Bin Laden being CIA.

From MSNBC (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3340101/)


Bin Laden Comes Home to Roost:

His CIA ties are only the beginning of a woeful story.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 1998 - At the CIA, it happens often enough to have a code name: Blowback. Simply defined, this is the term describing an agent, an operative or an operation that has turned on its creators. Osama bin Laden, our new public enemy Number 1, is the personification of blowback. And the fact that he is viewed as a hero by millions in the Islamic world proves again the old adage: Reap what you sow.


Declassified documents have shown when he was brought into the CIA under his father's business partner's reign as it's head his codename was Tim Osman.

And this is just a drop of water in the ocean as to the mountains of evidence which support everything I have stated previously.

Better decide if OBL is telling the truth when you like what he hears or he is always lying. If someone's a liar you can't pick and choose when you want to believe they're telling the truth.

Stick to spitting in the face's of the victim's families of the 9/11 Operation who question you're supreme leaders administrations involvement in it, you're much better at that.............

I also thought it was an historical fact that UBL then went to Sudan, after not only having his Saudi citizenship removed and actually being wanted by the Saudi Authorities.

I also thought it was an historical fact his family disowned him and I also thought it was an historical fact that Al Qaeda did not even exist during the Afghanistan war.

They have donated literally millions to building the Saudi Arabian infrastructure. They have set up schools and hospitals through their charities. They are not guilty by family ties; they have thoroughly condemned OBL for his actions and they are thoroughly respectable and honest people.

"It's been historical fact that we trained, financed, & armed the Afghan resistance for decades."

Let me try that again, it's been a historical fact for decades (meaning multiple groupings of ten year periods) that we trained, financed, & armed the Muhajideen. Now do you comprehend it better?

The CIA who have openly admitted they funded the Mujhadeen, it is no secret, it is historical fact they were fighting the same enemy as the Arab Afghans, that being the Soviets. Ever heard of the cold war?

Yes, the Muhajideen received the majority of it's financing from the Ministry of Information based in Pakistan and at the time oversaw by no other than OBL himself. The CIA gave Bin Laden the funds, he in turned used it to create 'Al Qaeda' V1.0. When the Muhajideen becomes a black op they become known as 'Al Qaeda' or as translated in Arab speaking countries 'The Toilet Bowl'.

I also thought it was an historical fact that UBL then went to Sudan, after not only having his Saudi citizenship removed and actually being wanted by the Saudi Authorities.

Yep and then the Sudanese Government offered him to the Clinton Administration on 3 seperate occassions but they had no desire to arrest and incarcerate a CIA asset. Furthermore, The Taliban also made an offer as a sign of good faith to do the same thing but their offer was also rejected by the criminal Clinton Administration. And I would like to find one person here who still believes OBL is a main priority of the Bush Administration's war on terror. Bush doesn't want to kill or arrest a CIA asset. And I'm sure many people here will use the Orwellian Media & Bush Administration comments that OBL 'isn't really important'..........

Think his family disowned him because of his CIA role? Kind of tarnishes the family name, doesn't it.

Some days, when I have a little bit of free time I come over here and engage in friendly debate. :)

World Politics is a funny thing. I could careless if the USA funded Al-Qaeda in the past. Does doing so mean they can never be the enemy, that the USA could never become their enemy. You make it sound like to fund them was to enter a lifelong friendship with them.

First, let me thank you for being honest enough to acknowledge that the US has funded Al Qaeda. Most people are so opposed to the alternate 9/11 theory they will take the opposite view on every single issue just to argue.

My point is, I believe we use Al Qaeda as we need them. Throughout histroy this has been consistently true. The Bush Administration attacked Iraq on 2/20/1 firing cruise missiles at 'Saddam's stockpile of chemical and biological weapons'. No one supported this action. Anywhere. And yet within just a few short months the whole world was ready to rally behind whoever this administration says is responsible. A halfassed job in Afghanistan to secure a pipeline who's construction has only been slowed down by the Pakistani government, the Taliban was paid off months in advance and were allowed to be evacuated by the Pakistani's. This is all mainstream information. Then the WMD lie justified an illegal war on Iraq and now the war drum starts beating for the next prize Iran. None of this could be possibly without 'Al Qaeda's work.

FACT: 19 Arab Hijackers hijacked planes on 9/11 and ran them into buildings.
Show me one piece of definitive physical evidence that proves this to be false, or else shut up.

Prove it. Your side makes the claim they did do it. A negative can't be proven, I can't prove it didn't happen but you can prove it did.

Prove 19 Arabs boarded 4 different planes. Every airport is and has always been packed full of surveillance videos. I'm sure the government has possession of all those videotapes and since it solidifies their argument I'm sure they have made them public, correct?

"Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is colloquial for "I'm going to the toilet". A very common and widespread use of the word "Al-Qaeda" in different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb "Qa'ada" which mean "to sit", pertinently, on the "Toilet Bowl". In most Arabs homes there are two kinds of toilets: "Al-Qaeda" also called the "Hamam Franji" or foreign toilet, and "Hamam Arabi" or "Arab toilet" which is a hole in the ground. Lest we forget it, the potty used by small children is called "Ma Qa'adia" or "Little Qaeda".

Garbage, complete and utter garbage.

The Muhajideen did not become Al Qaeda, The data base of Arab Afghan fighters became Al Qaeda at the end of the Afghanistan war.

Responsible for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks upon the United States, Al-Qaeda (also known as Al-Qaida) was established by Osama bin Ladin (also spelled Usama Bin Ladin or Osama bin Laden) in the late 1980s to bring together Arabs who fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union. Al-Qaeda helped finance, recruit, transport, and train Sunni Islamic extremists for the Afghan resistance.


The core of al-Qaeda was formed in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Bin Laden, son of a wealthy Saudi family, joined the fight to oust Soviet forces from Afghanistan. The Soviets did not follow Islam. Muslims considered the Soviet presence in the Islamic nation an offense against Islam. Bin Laden and other Arabs trained and equipped the mujahideen (moo-ha-DEEN), or holy warriors, in what was seen as jihad (GEE-hawd), holy war.

Another error from Error cell

Al-Qaeda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Qaeda)


In Arabic, the name (القاعدة al-qā'ida) has four syllables, and is pronounced [al'qæː.ʕi.da]. However, as two of the Arabic consonants in the name ([q] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_uvular_plosive) and [ʕ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottal_stop)]) are not phonemes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemes) found in the English language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language), the closest naturalized English pronunciation would be [æl'kæ.i.də], although [æl'kaɪ.də] and [æl'keɪ.də] are also heard.
The name of the organization comes from the ordinary Arabic noun qā'idah, which means 'foundation, basis' and is used both in geometry ('base' of a triangle) and in the military (a military/naval/air- 'base'). The initial al- is the Arabic definite article 'the', hence, 'the base'.
Osama bin Laden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden) explained the origin of the term in his videotaped interview with al Jazeera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera) journalist Tayseer Alouni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tayseer_Alouni) in late October 2001:
“The name 'al-Qaeda' was established a long time ago by mere chance. The late Abu Ebeida El-Banashiri established the training camps for our mujahedeen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujahedeen) against Russia's terrorism. We used to call the training camp al-Qaeda [meaning "the base" in English]. The name stayed.[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Qaeda#_note-1)

I may at rare times disagree with how those arguments are framed (comparing the Jersey girls to Klansmen isn't apt, IMO), but I seldom disagree with their conclusions. Your characterizations of them as liars and sociopaths is wrong.


Yeah that's probably not the best comparison. But since doing "To Kill A Mockingbird" as a play, when I think "lynch mob" I think white men killing black men.

Funny thing about the entire CIA-Osama funding angle...

Of course we know the CIA was involved with the Mujahideen, but there were a lot of them. So what about Osama?

Well, first let's look at his role. He was originally sent over in a semi-official capacity, as a representative of the Saudi government, managing funds sent from Saudi Arabia to the ISI.

So initially, Osama was dealing with Saudi funds, not American.

Osama then joined up with his old mentor, Dr Abdullah Azzam, in 1984, and they formed an organisation called Maktab al-Khidamat. This organisation, known as MAK, had a number of offices in western countries (including 30 in the USA) and these were used to channel funds and recruits into the MAK training camp.

So once again, Osama got his funds, not from the CIA or US Government, but from other sources.

Conflict arose between Azzam and Osama - Osama was influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood, and wanted to use MAK to fund a global Jihad. In 1989 Azzam was killed in a car bomb (Osama is a prime suspect), and Osama took over full control of the organisation. It ultimately became the terrorist network "Al Qaeda" (meaning "The Base", and the nickname amongst the MAK Mujahideen for the training camp they went to).

So in conclusion, has the CIA or American Government ever funded or supported Osama bin Laden? No.

I could get you a more complete bibliography, TC329, but why not start with Paul Mann's article on Assymetrical Warfare in a 1998 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology?Or a 1997 article on the Pentagon's lack of preparation for the type of conflict they're facing in both Afghanistan and Iraq in Defense Daily? Most of such periodicals would be available at a good university library.

I have a tough time figuring out your point. Do you support the indiscriminate use of assassination by the US government? Even if the US government had killed UBL in 1999, say, would that have been sufficient to prevent the financing and planning operations of al-Qaeda? The founder of the organisation was killed in 1989 and that didn't stop them. And what about Maktab al-Khidamat? Was that a fake organisation too?

I'll leave my response to your next comment underneath this to save you the time of having to repeat yourself....

TC 329 if you ever do decide to read a book rather than simple believe everything you read on CT sites, I could highly recommend this one amongst many others.
http://www.amazon.com/Bin-Laden-Behind-Mask-Terrorist/dp/1559706600/sr=1-1/qid=1171792591/ref=sr_1_1/104-1751924-1507920?ie=UTF8&s=books

It is meticulously researched and gives the full history behind the group you call the toilet.
In it also is an account of how OBL reacted as he saw the towers collapsing, how he clapped and cheered as thousands of your fellow countrymen died.

Try it, hey,you may even learn something.
