Cheney admits that he lied about 9/11
Cheney lied about numerous facts related to 9/11
by Clark Kent
The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd writes :
In a documentary soon to appear on Showtime, “The World According to Dick Cheney,” [Cheney said] “I got on the telephone with the president, who was in Florida, and told him not to be at one location where we could both be taken out.” Mr. Cheney kept W. flying aimlessly in the air on 9/11 while he and Lynn left on a helicopter for a secure undisclosed location, leaving Washington in a bleak, scared silence, with no one reassuring the nation in those first terrifying hours.
“I gave the instructions that we’d authorize our pilots to take it out,” he says, referring to the jet headed to Washington that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. He adds: “After I’d given the order, it was pretty quiet. Everybody had heard it, and it was obviously a significant moment.”
***
When they testified together before the 9/11 Commission, W. and Mr. Cheney kept up a pretense that in a previous call, the president had authorized the vice president to give a shoot-down order if needed. But the commission found “no documentary evidence for this call.”
In other words, Cheney pretended that Bush had authorized a shoot-down order, but Cheney now admits that he never did. In fact, Cheney acted as if he was the president on 9/11. *
Cheney lied about numerous other facts related to 9/11 as well. For example, Cheney:
- Falsely linked Iraq with 9/11 (indeed, the entire torture program was aimed at establishing such a false linkage; and Cheney is the guy who pushed for torture, pressured the Justice Department lawyers to write memos saying torture was legal, and made the pitch to Congress justifying torture. The former director of the CIA said Cheney oversaw American torture policies)
- Falsely claimed that spying on Americans, torture, the Patriot Act, the Afghanistan war, the Iraq war and the “war on terror” were all necessitated by 9/11 … when all of them started or were planned before 9/11
- Falsely stated that an attack such as 9/11 was unforeseeable, when Al Qaeda flying planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon was something which American military and intelligence services – and our allies – knew could happen
- Falsely blamed others for 9/11, when Cheney was in charge of all of America’s counter-terrorism exercises, activities and responses on 9/11. See this Department of State announcement and this CNN article …
- … And when Cheney was apparently responsible for letting the Pentagon get hit by an airplane(confirmed here and here)
* Indeed, Cheney initiated Continuity of Government plans on 9/11 which essentially nullified America’s constitutional form of government.

Nothing above is a surprise.
I have considered Cheney to be the world’s #1 criminal for years. His involvement with organisations such as Halliburton and the staggering contracts they won from the US as a result, is testimony to the man’s corrupt nature.
But even worse that that was his complete disregard for the deaths of perhaps over 1.5 million people through sanctions, and an unnecessary war and condems him under any set of rules.
Why him? He was the schemer behind the feckless Bush, nothing but a hand puppet at the start but gradually gaining enough confidence in the apathy of the US people that he even made speeches ‘off the cuff’. Many were stupid and reflected his poor education and inability to really understand anything. But Cheney was always there doing the dirty deeds, authorising all the things that eventually brought the US into disrepute.
A tax audit of his assets would likely show that he a a most wealthy man, safe from prosecution in the current climate in the US where there is no emphasis on decency any more, no real analysis of the forces of evil and where his association with the Zionist Neocons over the years sparked them into making a war with Iraq knowing they had the full support of the Vice Prsident and his puppet.
He deserves to be indicted for crimes against humanity, against the welfare of the US and against every living American.
But, he also knows nothing will happen. He, like the Zionists who owe him a great debt for allowing their total infiltration into the Congress and Senate, is safe and secure.
If he wasn’t, then America could be seen to be on its way back to being what it was a long time ago…………….a leader among nations.
Alas, no more. A follower now, led by the nose by the likes of Cheney and the evil Zionists he encouraged for 8 years.
He was there to serve them and he did and would have been well rewarded for his efforts. The loser was the USA,
