American Icon, Willie Nelson (source)
Well, Willie Nelson said it Monday, Feb 4, and then ABC News picked it up on Tuesday. This will send ripples throughout the collective consciousness of America. Nelson is too well-loved to be Swift-Boated, so people are going to take note of what he said, especially in Texas. Just what did he say? Here is an excerpt from an article by Paul Watson on the radio interview he had with Alex Jones:
Straight talking American icon Willie Nelson today told a national radio show that he thought the twin towers were imploded like condemned Las Vegas casino buildings, as the country music superstar controversially voiced his doubts about the official 9/11 story.(to read the entire article, click here)
Agreeing with host Alex Jones that he questioned the official story, Nelson elaborated, "I saw those towers fall and I've seen an implosion in Las Vegas - there's too much similarities between the two, and I saw a building fall that didn't get hit by nothing," added Nelson, referring to WTC Building 7 which collapsed in the late afternoon of September 11.
"How naive are we - what do they think we'll go for?," asked Nelson, pointing out that his doubts began on the very day of 9/11. "I saw one fall and it was just so symmetrical, I said wait a minute I just saw that last week at the casino in Las Vegas and you see these implosions all the time and the next one fell and I said hell there's another one - and they're trying to tell me that an airplane did it and I can't go along with that," said Nelson.
The former Highwayman, fresh from his appearance at this past weekend's superbowl, questioned why Afghanistan became an immediate target in the aftermath of 9/11 when the official story posited that mostly Saudi Arabians were responsible for the attack.
"When I get hit I like to look around and see who did it before I start swinging at everybody in the room and that's kind of what we were doing," said Nelson, "We get hit over here and then next thing you know we're jumping on everybody in the town - so (if) we got hit from Saudi Arabia, I think we've got some questions that need to be answered from those folks," said Nelson.
In light of his viewpoint, Nelson said that recent revelations concerning the impartiality of the 9/11 Commission and its close links with the White House did not surprise him.
"What does it take for us to realize we're having the wool pulled over our eyes one more time?" he concluded.

Poor old Willie. He's on his last brain cell. Talk about "Buzz, Buzz," Willie's been stoned for 50 years running.
Now that's an intelligent argument if ever there was one. Been counting his brain-cells eh? He can write great songs year after year, but he's too stoned to have any validity otherwise. Unhuh. There's nothing poor about Willie in any sense of the word. Some Texans even want him to run for President. Cautionary note: don't bad-mouth Willie in front of the wrong Texan.
When you listen to Nelson being interviewed, you are hearing a relaxed, articulate, plain speaking and moral individual. Willie, like many artists, has well-developed intuition. He is stating that his intuition and common sense tell him that something is dreadfully wrong with the official 9/11 explanation of events and that something is equally wrong with our country. The two seem to be intimately linked.
Oh for crying out loud, just because Willie has fallen for the slickly produced (and occasionally re-edited) conspiracy videos the 9/11 conspiracy marketers have put out doesn't mean the rest of us have to be gullible too.
I love Willie Nelson and often listen to him on long trips. Terrific songwriter and a fascinating human being. This doesn't make him an authority on 9/11. Mac says that Willie's stating what his "intuition and common sense" tell him. Well, my tuition and common sense tell me that Willie and all the 9/11 conspiracy theorists are wrong, wrong, wrong. Do my intuition and common sense deserve less credit than his? Hopefully not, but the fact is from an evidentiary standpoint intuition and common sense don't really cut it when analyzing something like the fall of the twin towers. You can't go around saying you suspect something wrong here because the towers looked like they imploded, etc., etc. The only credible approach is objective scientific analysis and collection of witness testimony and other corroborative evidence of what really occurred.
Every single one of the alleged supports for the 9/11 conspiracy theories has been addressed and refuted by independent scientists. On some issues certain quotes which were attributed to some witnesses have been demonstrated to have been either falsified or taken out of context. Moreover, conspiracy theorists appear ready to believe that hundreds of their fellow Americans - because it would have HAD to be hundreds - conspired with the Bush Administration to blow up the towers, pretend to crash a plane into Shanksville, and to "pretend" to fly an airplane into the Pentagon, when it was in fact a missile. These same conspiracy theorists cannot explain then, if it wasn't really hijacked planes being flown into the Pentagon and Towers, where the passengers and crews of those planes are. Are they fake, too? Did I attend the funeral of a co-pilot who is secretly hiding out on some desert island while his aged parents mourn his death? That's the extension of the suggestion that it was faked or manufactured or an "inside job." If it was an inside job how come OBL keeps taking credit for it? And why? Why, why, why would even the dimwits of the Bush Administration feel compelled to do something on the scale of 9/11? None of the conspiracy theorists has ever explained what the motive might be, just speculated on intentions and goals the likes of which one finds being dreamed of by Dr. Evil and all those Marvel comics bad guys. It's not real. Real people don't think along those lines and most assuredly there is no such vast conspiracy which will not unravel within a matter of years from within. This country has never succeeded in keeping its smallest secrets, known to only a handful of people, secure, but the conspiracy theorists would have us believe that hundreds or thousands of people have done just that.
Catzmeow... What is your source for this statement
Every single one of the alleged supports for the 9/11 conspiracy theories has been addressed and refuted by independent scientists.??
I happened to be in a room with a tv on when 9/11 was happening and when I saw the towers falling I had the exact same reaction as Willie Nelson.
Then when we find out that the commission executive director Philip Zelikow, a close friend of Rice, stopped staffers from submitting a report depicting Rice’s performance prior to 9/11 as “amount[ing] to incompetence.” (Think Progress)
According to the book by Philip Shanon, Zelikow also helped Rice set up the National Security Apparatus that basically took Osama Bin Laden off the radar that the Clinton Administration had been monitoring closely.
The 9/11 Commission DID NOT STUDY the building that went down that had not been hit.
There are simply too many unanswered questions. There are many reasons that Bush/Cheney tried to keep 9/11 from being investigated.
Icing on the cake? The fact that George Bush's brother was the head of security for the 9/11 towers. "Two weeks before 9/11 the head of security for the Twin Towers, Marvin Bush, brother of the President, shut down power and security to the Twin Towers and rewired the building for "Ethernet". The week before 9/11 he removed all bomb sniffer dogs." LibertyForLive
and his security firm's contract expired on either 9/10/ or 9/11 the day before or the day that the towers fell. just happened to resign on Physics911
With all the evidence so quickly destroyed we may never know the entire truth of what happened. But hopefully, one day, we ill have an unbiased commission honestly investigate the 9/11 tragedy so we can all know something about what really happened.
Buzz...Buzz...
Also....I have to comment on the slickly produced and well edited videos...that are usually put together by "activists" on a shoe string budget....these pale in comparison to the money behind corporate media "American news" propaganda programs that shy away from important events and questions...for example...what corporate news media is covering the internet blackout engulfing the countries around the middle east (except for Iraq and Israel)?
Buzz...Buzz...
Oh wow, actual debate on this topic. Fine. We won't shut the debate down like some blogs do once it threatens sacred cows.
No, Willie Nelson is not some kind of 9/11 expert. That is not the point. My intent on posting the piece about Willie Nelson is to point out that the collective consciousness of America is continuing to free itself from the popaganda matrix of the Bush Administration, which tries to bludgeon our thinking into conformity with their psychotic worldview daily. This is a milestone, either minor or major depending on your perspective, when a major celebrity well- repsected by millions of Americans challenges the status quo mindset. There will be more challenges in the future too.
Meanwhile, globally, majorities of citizens in some countries think 9/11 was an inside job, and you have major politicians like this one speaking out:
Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, Francesco Cossiga, has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy's most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.
Cossiga was elected President of the Italian Senate in July 1983 before winning a landslide 1985 election to become President of the country in 1985.
Cossiga gained respect from opposition parties as one of a rare breed - an honest politician -and led the country for seven years until April 1992.Cossiga's tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio - a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
And it goes on and on. To say that 9/11 is a settled topic does not hold water. It is far less settled than even the Kennedy Assassination.

9/11 Directed Energy Weapon / TV-Fakery Suppression Timeline
Catsmaw raised a really good point when she pointed out that bin Laden keeps taking credit for 9/11 in his tapes. But once one starts looking under the bin Laden rocks, one finds more contradictions that make that supposition very suspect too. For example, bin Laden back in 2001, after 9/11, was actually both sending out messages and stating in several interviews with the Pakistani press that he was not behind 9/11. In fact, the first time he was videotaped outright admitting to 9/11 was in the infamous "Confession Tape" of Nov/Dec 2001. However, the tape is highly suspect because the facial features, among other things, do not match stock photos of bin Laden's face. The tape was also released by the Pentagon about the same time intercepted radio communications between bin Laden and his Lieutenants came to a halt. Interesting timing.
There has been much written on the Confession Tape. Furthermore, bin Laden is seen as rather healthy, but a tape prior to this one shows him looking poorly, and the one just after this one shows him looking half-dead (in Mid-Dec 2001).
In late Dec, a Pakistani newspaper published an account by a man claiming to have attended bin Laden's funeral along the Pakistani-Afghan border. A few months later, an Egyptian newspaper published what they said was bin Laden's last will and testament in Arabic, dated from mid-Dec, 2001.
Bin Laden apparently was hospitalized twice in 2001 for Kidney dialysis. It is believed he was in advanced stages of kidney failure. The only way he could still be alive, if that is true, is if he received a kidney transplant. That is not an easy thing to pull off in the mountains of Pakistan, to say the least.
Every video and audio-tape since 2001 of bin Laden is suspect in many peoples' minds, including my own, especially the Grecian Beard Formula tape. Skepticism had been heightened because Benazir Bhutto, before her death in an interview with David Frost, rather casually and matter of factly stated that bin Laden had been murdered, and even named the killer. Of course that never received any attention from the corporate media either. Instead we had several rear-guard pundits saying that she didn't really mean what she said. Bhutto, being dead, couldn't respond to that. Welcome to the Matrix.
