Here it is.

Here's the entire thing my Dad wanted to write to me through Haloscan, but it wouldn't allow him to use that many characters:

Josh, I'm glad you are thinking and questioning. It shows that you care, that you do want to help to make the world a better place, and that you do not want to be lied to and manipulated. For what that is worth, that speaks quite highly of you. Carl Sagen once said "REAL PATRIOTS ASK QUESTIONS."

Bottom line on the events of 911: it is important to examine the physical evidence after any crime to determine it's nature and what actually happened. The American people are all too willing to accept a silly, unsubstantiated CONSPIRACY THEORY from their government and the controlled media, and not take time to look at the actual evidence, or hear what actual eyewitnesses said. So, who are the conspiracy nuts? The very few who DO look at the actual evidence and then question what happened, or the vast majority who robotically believe that nineteen Arabs could defeat our nations defenses? Remember that in the middle of beLIEve is "lie." I personally feel that it is better to know based on inquiry, evidence and experience.

So here are just a few patriotic questions about the events of 911:

Why was there absolutely no wreckage of a Boeing 757 in the Pentagon, or on the lawn outside of the Pentagon? Why was the lawn absolutely unscathed by this "plane" crash?

Why was an engine from Flight 93 (which we were told crashed in Pennsylvania due to "heroes") found over one mile from the airliner impact site? Why were debris from this crash floating down over a resort eight miles from the crash site just minutes after the crash?

Who was running airliner high jacking war games in the Northeast US on 9/11/01? Answer: Dick Cheney. How did these "war games" diffuse and confuse our normally highly effective air defenses?

How many huge buildings collapsed vertically onto themselves (like controlled demolitions) in New York on 9/11. Answer: three. How may steel frame skyscrapers have ever collapsed due to fire previous or following 9/11. Answer: Zero.

Why was their no detailed forensic investigation into the collapse of these structures, despite the American Firefighters Association and others screaming that such a collapse was unprecedented, and needed to be investigated and understood? Why was the wreckage destroyed and quickly removed prior to investigation?

Why did eyewitnesses state that the planes that hit the Trade Centers had no windows and were not passenger airliners?

Why did the administration spend 7 million dollars on a much delayed and obstructed limited investigation of 9/11 (the biggest single-event crime ever committed in this country), when the conservative members of congress spent 45 million dollars to investigate Bill Clinton's sexual mis-adventures?

Why has all this been suppressed, and not covered in our "free" press?

Who has promoted a climate of fear based on these attacks?

Who (or what) honestly had the capability to freeze our nations defenses and actually pull off such a well coordinated attack?

Who, or what corporations, nations or organizations, have benefited as a result of these attacks? Follow the money.

And finally:

What does it mean when your government and mainstream media lie to you and suppresses the truth?

Well, Josh, I know I have rambled, and you know that's me. These are questions that do not have pleasant answers, and there are many, many more. But think of the alternative? Therefore: Keep asking patriotic questions.

So, there it is. I think that many of these questions have merit. I especially like: "Why was their no detailed forensic investigation into the collapse of these structures?" I thought about using it in my post, but thought that, if people are actually reading this blog who aren't family members or friends, those of you who haven't thought past the "official" line of September Eleventh, it would be easier to start with something simple, like "Why did NORAD and the FAA not see four planes fly off course?"

Politics will not be used often here. I just think it's important to think about the things we don't know around a time when horrible things happened.

Be well, everyone.
