In fact, the government can’t even tie its own shoes.
Individuals act on behalf of the government to collect taxes and to pay for services for its residents.
Individuals acted on 9/11.
Some of them reported what they or others did to the media.
The media is not one person or one entity.
But people who work for the media with the greatest range to broadcast messages frequently choose to say the same things and to not say other things.
No one saw the alleged hijackers of 9/11.
No one witnessed the alleged hijackings of 9/11.
How did we learn of hijackings on 9/11?
Individuals falsely reported to individuals in the media that they received calls from people claiming to be hijacked.
Many in the media and who act on behalf of the government continue to tell us about hijackings on 9/11.
Most people hear the lie about hijackers – on television, the radio and the movies - and do not react to the lie.
They may not see what good it would do to challenge it.
Or they are waiting for someone else to speak up.
The author uses this book to speak up and call a lie a lie.
Your government won’t care, because it can’t.
The question is whether you care about where your leaders have taken you and where you may go next.
Freedom does not end with a bang, but a whimper.

Jim Fetzer and I wrote an article on Veterans Today in which we discuss the difficulties of getting alternative theories to the official 9/11 theory in the media. The latest disappointment, OpEd News, where I have posted numerous articles on the topic, turned down my latest "Why There Were No Real Passengers on 9/11" by saying that "we do not accept any more 9/11 stories."For the complete article, which includes "Why There Were No Real Passengers on 9/11," click here. Where Was Barbara Olson on 9/11?
“You don’t believe the official theory? Then tell me what happened to Barbara Olson!” I call this the “Barbara Olson Question,” issued usually by defenders of the theory of 9/11 that says, among other things, that the renowned political commentator was on a flight that was taken over by hijackers and smashed into the Pentagon.
To the one typically asking the question, there are only two choices: Olson perished in a plane crash at the Pentagon that day or Olson perished in a plane crash at the Pentagon that day. In other words, no other answer will be acceptable.
The fact that Olson has apparently not been seen or heard from is proof positive that the plane crash (and the rest of the official story) is true.
Her alleged flight, American Airlines 77, was not scheduled to fly and did not fly that day according to the original Bureau of Transportation Statistics. For these reasons alone, we can rule out the official story.
Not that official theory defenders care. To understand this question, then, is to understand the other possible answers.
Possibility #1: Barbara Olson died in another manner on or after September 11, 2011. She may have taken another plane and gone somewhere else that day. She may have been killed by plotters or died of other causes.
Possibility #2: Barbara Olson lives today under a new identity. She may have been part of the plot and went somewhere else to live a new life with a new identity. Or she decided on her own to leave. Some have suggested she has returned to society with a new identity.
The details are simply not available for confirmation. But the problem with the Barbara Olson Question is with its users. Failure to tell them where Barbara Olson is at this moment is the same to them as failure to provide an adequate theory on that day’s events.
This issue illustrates the need to ask the right questions. The better question here is “What are the possibilities as to what happened to Barbara Olson.” Only then do we free ourselves from the trap the Barbara Olson Question poses.
 Barbara Olson, said to be on American 77 on 9/11/01 Those of us who question the official theory of 9/11 and its insistence that planes with passengers were used to crash into buildings frequently face a question of our own: where did the passengers go? This is one of a number of articles I have written on this topic and the topic is one I will speak on in June at the Vancouver Hearings.
The Official Story – United 175
According to the official version of events, fifty-six people, including the crew members, boarded United 175 on the morning of September 11, 2001. The flight took off from Boston Logan airport with Los Angeles as its destination.
During the flight, five hijackers took over the aircraft and breached the cockpit and took over the controls. Some of the passengers made calls to family members. Ultimately, the plane crashed into the World Trade Center (south building), killing everyone on board and some people who were in the building.
Investigators found human remains at the World Trade Center and the immediate area and declared that the remains matched DNA samples given by the passengers' families. A copy of the manifest shows the names of passengers who took the flight.
Facts That Contradict the Official Story
The plane said to be United 175 flew over Pennsylvania after it allegedly hit the World Trade Center.
No source independent of the government has identified remains of any of the flight’s passengers.
No debris from the scene at the World Trade Center has ever been traced by serial number to the plane that allegedly flew on 9/11 as Flight 175.
Similarities of United 175 to United 93
As with Flight 93, ACARS messages were sent to Flight 175 that indicate that the plane was heading far away from its “crash” scene. Pilots for 9/11 Truth discovered that the plane said to be Flight 175 was tracked in western Pennsylvania several minutes after it allegedly struck the World Trade Center. It is possible that United 175 also landed in Cleveland near the same time that United 93 did, with similar issues arising as to what then happened to the passengers.
There were fewer alleged phone calls from United 175, but the calls, echoing the same story as the calls from United 93, were about hijackers. Furthermore, according to phone records, one of the callers, Peter Hanson, spoke past the time that the “crash” happened!
The Official Story – American 77
According to the official version of events, sixty-four people, including the crew members, boarded American 77 on the morning of September 11, 2001. The flight took off from Dulles airport with Los Angeles as its destination.
During the flight, five hijackers took over the aircraft and forced the passengers to the back of the aircraft. Some of the passengers, including famed political commentator Barbara Olson, made calls to family members. Ultimately, the plane crashed into the Pentagon, killing everyone on board and some people who were in the building.
Investigators found human remains at the Pentagon and the immediate area and declared that the remains matched DNA samples given by the passengers' families. A copy of the manifest shows the names of passengers who took the flight.
Facts That Contradict the Official Theory
Media sources reported within days of 9/11 that American 77 took off ten minutes late but no source named what gate it left from.
Researcher Elias Davidsson asked American Airlines for permission to interview employees who saw the passengers off but the airlines denied the request on grounds of privacy.
No source independent of the government has identified remains of any of the flight’s passengers.
No debris from the scene at the Pentagon has ever been traced by serial number to the plane that allegedly flew on 9/11 as Flight 77.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) originally did not show American Airlines Flights 11 and 77 as having been scheduled or having taken off on September 11, 2001. The late researcher Gerard Holmgren identified this fact and made it public on November 13, 2003.
By 2004, the BTS records showed something completely different about these flights. The new explanation said the following:
On September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight #11 and #77 and United Airlines #93 and #175 were hijacked by terrorists. Therefore, these flights are not included in the on-time summary statistics.
David Ray Griffin revealed that American Airlines Flight 77 did not even have air phones. Furthermore, the records of alleged air phone calls from American 11 and 77 are not specific as to the seat from which the calls were made, making even stronger the possibility the records were concocted.
As for Barbara Olson, the FBI records reveal that one call was made during the time of American 77 to the Justice Department (where Olson’s husband Ted worked as the Solicitor General) but that the call was “unconnected.”
What Happened to Those Who Were Officially on the Flight?
With no facts of any flight, passengers or phone calls, it is obvious the whole story of American Airlines 77 is fiction. The best start for analysis is with the alleged passengers.
The most famous person allegedly on the plane was Barbara Olson. Theories range as to her whereabouts. Some say she was killed off by the plotters while others say she went away, perhaps to come back later with a new identity.
Hypothesis I: Olson was killed
Reasonable Doubts: Olson could have been an asset to the plotters alive. As a political commentator, she knew the media well and could have advised them as to where to “place” stories supporting the official theory. Also, the plotters would have had trouble convincing Ted Olson to go along with the plan to tell a false story about Olson’s calls unless they could assure him his wife would live.
Hypothesis II: Olson lived
Reasonable Doubts: If a publicly well-known “passenger” like Olson ever showed up, the official story would collapse. Keeping her alive would be a great risk to the plotters.
If the plotters approached Ted Olson, or if he was with the plotters, then it seems reasonable to believe that the parties worked out a deal whereby Ted would agree to tell the media about Barbara’s phone calls from the plane and to include statements from her about box cutters and knives. The plotters would agree to place Barbara safely with a new identity.
MOST LIKELY SCENARIO: Barbara survived September 11, 2001. It is highly unlikely that an “insider” like Ted Olson would tell lies to the public about a flight that did not exist unless he could get something in return. Barbara had enough of a profile to command leverage as well. She and Ted made a deal that allowed Barbara to go somewhere else with a new identity.
About Lady Booth Olson
In October 2006, Ted Olson, having left the Bush Administration and gone into private practice, married Lady Booth, a tax attorney from Kentucky.
Questions about Booth’s lack of public background before the two met in 2002 and pictures side-by-side of her and Barbara Olson have driven speculation whether the two identities are really of the same person. An affirmative answer to this question will never, for obvious reasons, be proven or acknowledged. Whatever the case with her identity or identities, it is highly unlikely that Barbara Olson perished on September 11, 2001.
The Official Story – American 11
According to the official version of events, eighty-one people, including the crew members, boarded American 11 on the morning of September 11, 2001. The flight took off from Boston Logan airport with Los Angeles as its destination.
During the flight, five hijackers took over the aircraft by breaching the cockpit. Two of the flight attendants, Amy Sweeney and Betty Ong, made calls to American Airlines and reported the hijacking and injuries to passengers. Ultimately, the plane crashed into the World Trade Center (north building), killing everyone on board.
Investigators found human remains at the World Trade Center and the immediate area and declared that the remains matched DNA samples given by the passengers' families. A copy of the manifest shows the names of passengers who took the flight.
Facts That Contradict the Official Theory
No source independent of the government has identified remains of any of the flight’s passengers.
No debris from the scene at the World Trade Center has ever been traced by serial number to the plane that allegedly flew on 9/11 as Flight 11.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) originally did not show American Airlines Flights 11 and 77 as having been scheduled or having taken off on September 11, 2001. The late researcher Gerard Holmgren identified this fact and made it public on November 13, 2003.
By 2004, the BTS records showed something completely different about these flights. The new explanation said the following:
On September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight #11 and #77 and United Airlines #93 and #175 were hijacked by terrorists. Therefore, these flights are not included in the on-time summary statistics.
The records of alleged air phone calls from American 11 and 77 are not specific as to the seat from which the calls were made, making even stronger the possibility the records were concocted.
Conclusion
Of the three flights, two were unscheduled and never recorded officially as having taken off; and one flew far away from the site where the official story says it crashed. With these facts in mind, it is hard to take the idea of passengers on any of the planes seriously.
What real passengers there may have been could have flown on United 175 and, as I speculated in The 9/11 Passenger Paradox: What Happened to Flight 93?, these passengers went to Cleveland.
As for American 77 and American 11, there were clearly no flights and thus no passengers. The names we have been given could be the names of real people who went underground, the names of real people who died either prior to or on 9/11 or the names of people who do not exist.
But they certainly did not fly on those planes on that day and this fact forms one more nail in the official story coffin.
