After 10 years, US blames Iran for 9/11
Press TV talks with James Fetzer, founder of Scholars for the 9/11 Truth in Madison about why Iran has only now been included in the list ten years after the fact and why Saudi Arabia was excluded from the list even though 15 of the alleged highjackers were from Saudi Arabia according to the FBI list. Mr. Fetzer outlines numerous facts and references that indicate a strong involvement by Israel in 9/11, but Israel is also not listed on the US default judgment. What follows is an approximate transcript of the interview.
Press TV: This filing and leveling of charges against Iran in a US court seems to be a habit for the US recently. To begin with – Is it legal to charge another country without representation?
James Fetzer: It’s of dubious legality and the finding is quite preposterous on its face. When President Ahmadinejad addressed the UN and called for a new investigation suggesting that the US and Israel were involved in 9/11, the New York Times was besieged with letters claiming that al-Qaeda was responsible. So who was it – Iran or al-Qaeda?
Fifteen of the alleged highjackers were from Saudi Arabia – So why not Saudi Arabia? Well… they’re our friends – Let’s blame it on Saddam Hussein. Even George W. Bush would eventually admit that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Independent investigations by the Senate and The Pentagon concluded that there was no collusion between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.
The FBI would eventually admit that it had no hard evidence tying Osama Bin Laden to 9/11. The 9/11 Commission report is an elaborate fabrication. Elias Davidson has shown there’s no proof any of the hijackers were aboard any of those planes. David Ray Griffin has shown that all of the phone calls from the four flights were faked. Colonel George Nelson US air force retired has observed that of the millions of uniquely identifiable component parts from each of those planes, the US is yet to produce even one.
Two of those flights were not even scheduled to fly that day – flights 11 and 77. And I have FAA registration data showing that the planes corresponding to flights 93 and 175 were not deregistered until 28 September 2005. Which raises the question – How can planes that were not in the air have crashed? And, how can planes that have crashed still be in the air four years later?
Indeed, pilots for 9/11 Truth has now confirmed that flights 93 and 175 were far away from the locations of their alleged crashes at the time on September 11th.
The situation is a manifest absurdity.
Press TV: Maybe Iran should have you represent them in this New York court. Do you think that with all the evidence you just sited, they’ll admit it?
James Fetzer: There’s an evasion of responsibility here. In fact, multiple investigations by independent journalists have revealed that Israel, the MOSSAD, played a key role on 9/11 that includes research by Alan Subrosky, Christopher Bolyn, Wayne Madsen; there are websites devoted to this, ‘Rediscover 9/11’ for example. Look up the dancing Israelis; look up Urban Moving Systems; look up CITS and you’ll find ample indication that Israel was profoundly involved in 9/11.
Press TV: Let’s go with the line our other guest is saying about Israel in terms of wanting regional countries to be added to this list and also at the same time, from what I understood, for them to have friction between each other – throwing Saudi Arabia against Iran, pitting themselves against each other through this court case. Do you agree with that?
James Fetzer: Yes I do agree with that and the representatives of the American Enterprise Institute have now acknowledged that the issue with Iran has nothing to do with nuclear weapons, but rather with it having an increasingly strong sphere of influence in the Middle East.
Israeli newspaper are publishing that this court decision transforms our understanding of 9/11, but that’s complete and utter rubbish.
Steve Presnic who was a high official of the government in five different administrations has observed that he was told by a high-ranking military officer, whom I believed to have been General Richard Meyers, that 9/11 was an inside job and that Osama Bin Laden died in December of 2001.
At some point these lies and charades have to come to an end. The US is making itself look idiotic by presenting all of these claims; pinning all of these tails on the donkey; all of these countries. We might as well have heard that Libya was responsible for 9/11 – or may be next it will be Russia or China. The situation is ridiculous.
