The official conspiracy theory is that a man in a cave in Asia pulled off 9/11, the catalyzing event that allows for these big money-making wars. $1.4 billion to George W. Bush Senior and the Carlyle Group alone.

How ever did Osama keep our air defense grounded for 1 hour 51 minutes, an air defense second to none, which had performed swiftly and carefully 67 separate times in the 12 months prior to 9/11 in surrounding and escorting wayward aircraft flying outside their flight paths? 67 times from 9/11/2000 to 9/10/2001, but which failed so completely on 9/11.

Osama didn't do that.And neither did Saddam. Bush and his gaggle of warmongers were responsible for that. The question is whether they allowed it or orchestrated it.

The entirety of our air defense was not out for coffee and donuts for 1 hour and 51 minutes that morning. The 9/11 Commisssion says our air defense was confused. I'll tell you where the confusion lies, it's that the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, Philip Zelikow, was a former aide to Condeleeza Rice, and so directed it to the conclusions it reached: Whitewash. No, not Whitewater: Whitewash.

Ask any family members of the victims of 9/11 how that commission refused to ask the questions the family members wanted answers to, but didn't get.

Now, I have put together a 25-minute video detailing what I will tell you bluntly was treason against the People of the United States of America on 9/11. I call it "Treason Inc". Which is not only a description of their behavior since the day the Anarcho-Republican Supreme Court stole the election for the Buscists, "Treason Inc", as in "Murder Inc", the old 1950s term for the Mafia in America---and my apologies to the real Mafia for borrowing that term from them.

The traitors populating and infecting our government are much, much worse. At least in the real Mafia, there is some sense of honor, so the novelists tell us. There is no honor with the scum we know as the Bush administration.I like to say that treason is like botulism: Expose it to oxygen and it dies.
