As the 24^th anniversery of September 11^th 2001, colloquially known as 9/11, fades into the rearview mirror, I think that it’s worth taking some time to reflect on these events. These events stand out as a turning point for the USA. They were the catalyst that launched the US into a truly “New American Century”, and launched the entire world into a New World Order. And they have been the foundation for all US foreign and domestic policy since, a policy that’s seen mass domestic and global surveillance, unprecedented US government debt increases, the forever wars birthed out of the “War on Terror”, and a “police state” mentallity of the US government towards the people.

Reviewing the events of this fateful day can be a daunting task. There has probably been more effort put into discussing the 9/11 narrative than any other event in modern history. Multiple books have been written on the subject, multiple video documentaries created, and there’s a massive amount of pictures and news articles on the subject. The purposes of these things range from supporting the government narrative to wild conspiracy theories about aliens and nuclear weapons. Way more information than I want to get into here. 

But I think that there are a few key pieces which present a counter viewpoint that’s worth examining. So I’ve selected a few items that seem particulary valuable for anyone interested in trying to learn the truth about what happened on that fateful day of 9/11. These few items should serve as either a good starting point for a new truth seeker, or as a good refresher for those of us who’ve studied these events more extensively. I have added links below.

My personal feeling about the events of 9/11 is that, at the very least, the US government knew about these attacks ahead of time and chose to look the other way. Multiple foreign intelligence agencies notified the US about these attacks ahead of time. And there were people in the private sector, like Bill Cooper, who predicted months ahead of time that an attack was going to happen, even naming Osama Bin Laden as the patsy for these attacks.

But as some might ask, what possible motive could the US government have for being complicit in these attacks? Well if we assume that the changes of the post 9/11 era were pre-planned, then the attacks of 9/11 would need to look like a successful attack on the US which required a government response, as opposed to a planned attack that was thwarted by government intervention. Most people and nations would likely not go along with the mass domestic and global surveillance, unprecedented US government debt increases, the forever wars, and police state mentality that we’ve seen since 9/11 without some kind of justification for these changes. 

In addition to the suggestion that there could have been a pre-planning motive, there is written evidence supporting this suggestion. In the year 2000 a Think Tank called The Project for a New American Century (PNAC) produced a document titled “Rebuilding Americas Defences”. Reading through this document reveals that at least some people in the US government were pushing for a number of the changes that we’ve seen since 9/11. Among other desired changes, this PNAC document mentions the need for a "new Pearl Harbor" as a catalyst for a transformation of increased US military spending, global military force projection, and forward basing. Changes that we have seen on an increasing level since 9/11. And on 9/11, whether planned or by chance, these people got their “new Pearl Harbor” when the World Trade Center was attacked. 

This PNAC document also calls for an increased reliance on UAVs (Unmanned Areial Vehicles) for warfare, Littoral combat ships, and the need for a space force. All things that we have seen become a reality since 9/11. Some of these things could be coincidence, or the natural evolution of warfare, but I think there's simply too many coincidences here. Perhaps the fruition of these things is just an example of not letting a crisis go to waste, or perhaps there was more direct involvement and planning in achieving these things. In the end we will probably never know the verified truth about what happened on 9/11, but there’s enough evidence available to paint a picture that stands counter to the official narrative.

Either way, the world is different today because of these events. And instead of taking a fanatical stand over who’s at fault for the attacks of 9/11, we should recognize that a plan is underway to change our world. And once we recognize this reality we can use it as a foundation to work towards a world of freedom, liberty, and peace.

We can’t change what happened on that fateful day, but we can work to change the path that our nation and our world are on. This is the purpose for learning about the September 11^th 2001 attacks in the year 2025. And this is one of the ways that the truth can set us free. :)

This is the document referenced above that stated the need for a “new Pearl Harbor” as a catalyst for some of the changes we see in the post 9/11 era.

An article by the International Center for 9/11 Justice, pointing out “that the FBI had no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” And also the failure of “Secretary of State Colin Powell, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and the 9/11 Commission promised to provide evidence of Bin Laden’s responsibility for the 9/11 attacks”.

This document reads like a one stop shop for someone who wants to learn everything they can about the events of September 11^th. It is a very thourough overview of almost every suspicious or questionable thing that happened on 9/11.

9/11 inside job-Thermite and what it can do to steel beams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLrPxFCLNkA

This is a short ~15 minute video in which Jonathan Cole P.E. addresses the claim that thermite can’t cut steel beams. He addresses this claim by performing a number of his own experiments using thermate and steel beams. He uses some very creative engineering to demonstrate that thermitic material can in fact cut steel beams. He makes no definite claim that thermite was used to bring down the World Trade Centers, but he demonstrates the reality that it could have been done, and he shows some evidence that suggests the possibility that it was done.

911 In Plane Site - The Directors Cut - https://archive.org/details/911-in-plane-site-directors

Of all of the documentaries about 9/11 that I have watched, I consider this to be one of the best. The video was produced by “The Power Hour” radio show, and it takes on a fairly detailed analysis of a number of different aspects of the 9/11 attacks. The narrator does a pretty good job of addressing these aspects without trying to guide the viewers to a certain conclusion.

Loose Change Final Cut – https://odysee.com/@EduardoCorrochio:4/loosechangefinalcut:3

I think “Loose Change” was the documentary that really kicked off the 9/11 conspiracy movement (for lack of a better term). The initial release happened in 2005, and there were several subsequent releases between then and the final release in 2009. The “Final Cut” version was released in 2007. The video is portrayed as a somewhat dramatized documentary. All the footage is real, but the narrator and the music tend to dramatize it in parts. The film leans heavily toward the idea that the events of 9/11 were a high level conspiracy perpetrated by the US government, while still leaving conclusions open to the readers interpretation. This is a very good documentary that’s packed full of video and witness testimony.

9-ll Whistle Blowers – https://odysee.com/@Steven:d/ep362911Whistleblowers:1

This video was released in 2019 by James Corbett of “The Corbett Report”. James takes a little different stance in this video by addressing the hypothetical statement that “9/11 couldn’t have been a conspiracy because there weren’t any leakers or whistle blowers”. The entire video is comprised of testimony from eye witnesses and agency officials who tell the story of what they witnessed or experienced, stories that contradict the official narrative. It’s a very informative and well done video.

9/11 - Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out - https://odysee.com/@NineElevenArchive:c/9-11-Explosive-Evidence-Experts-Speak-Out:1

This video is one of many that have been released by the organization titled “Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth”, an organization comprised mostly of Architects and Engineers who are using their experience to question the events of 9/11 from a structural and engineering perspective. The video shares brief testimony from multiple different people, with the apparent purpose of showing that a number of these professionals are in agreement that the official story of 9/11 is flawed. Much more information is available on their website for anyone interested in searching this out.
