What Else Did He Lie About?
The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd writes today:
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.
reading all this stuff about our gov’t feels like this giant vise being turned by our gov’t on the WE THE PEOPLE to submit to their realms.
This is news? We all suspected that from the first. Nothing about the attack on 9/11 rings true. The only possibility that has any potential for being true is that there was inside collusion whether it was active or passive!

Is there a statue of limitations on Perjury? When it comes to War Crimes?
Why do we allow these convicted criminals walk free? Are they really above the law?
They sure as hell seem to think so.
The Elite cannot be trusted, they never could be trusted and history is replete with evidence after the fact that the Elite have taken advantage of the “common folk” since the dawn of time.
They are not better than us not more deserving, they only have wealth and people need to wake up to the fact that today most of their wealth is fake, a deception, ones and zeroes in computer memory not backed up by anything other than their word. We know that their word is tainted with deception and out right lies.
No I am not talking about millionaires I am talking about the ELITE, the wealthiest of all, the bank owners. The perpetrators of the scam that ended up in the bailout that benefited only them.
There is some dirt that cannot be washed off and goes through the bone into the spirit. Those people are spiritually defective. Sociopaths of the worst sort.
It’s apparent now that Americans are ‘waking up’ and realizing that 9/11 was inside and planned. Bush Sr. had gained so much from it….and the Media (owned / paid for) made sure it was ‘reported’ exactly how they wanted people to ‘believe’ it. So sad.. To this day, they still use Bin Laden as a scapegoat for American genocide. THE GOVERNMENT KILLED IT’S OWN PEOPLE… and Americans still wave that tiny US Flag and vote for them. I agree with you avid.. it’s a truly sad thing to watch.
Notice how there hasn’t been another 9/11 even after all the blood spilled in the Middle East from US invasions?
Anyone who condones the actions of death are terrorists.. The Oath is used ONLY for DEFENSE…not a killing spree ordered by Hitler. I believe what goes around comes around.
Horrible thing…these criminals are still able to walk free.
There’s no more to be said about 9/11. It was blatantly obvious to anyone with an ounce of gray matter that it was self inflicted and the low lives that were running the USA . from the President to the lowly minions who perpetrated this act and many others throughout the world . Sadly the American people did not see it and continued electing these criminals and Obomba is no exception !!
