Moussaoui was described by two former students and admissions director of the Airman Flight School in Norman, Oklahoma, where he showed up in February 2001, “flush with cash, but erratic in his studies and unable to master piloting skills. Most students were ready to fly solo after 15 hours of training, but Moussaoui was grounded after 57 hours and never flew alone.” Does that sound like Mr. Lynch Pin of the largest air attack on America ever?

The above information above comes from a March 9 Los Angeles Times article, Witness Details Moussaoui’s Ambitions, by Richard A. Serrano. The witness Serrano refers to is Faiz Abu Bakar Bafana, described as “a terrorist financier from Malaysia” who testified against Moussaoui via a video played to the Alexandria courtroom where Moussaoui is being tried, or one might say, kangarooed.

Bafana told us, all via IPM (International Parrot Media), that this same incompetent pilot “dreamed of flying a plane into the White House and that he also discussed ammonium nitrate and powder, bank robberies and brazen kidnappings in the Southeast Asian country.” He may also have dreamt of being Puff Daddy and sleeping with a thousand virgins. That doesn’t mean he did.

In addition, Bafana said Moussaoui “Talked about jihad, bringing down America, and robbing a bank or considering kidnapping to get money.” According to Bafana, Moussaoui said, “it will give us power.” Now there’s a tour de force guerilla plan. Get some power.

Yet, during the six-hour showing of the video, Moussaoui asked Bafana, face to face, “Haven’t you been led to believe that your cooperation will give you a favorable treatment?” That is from US authorities to reduce Bafana’s sentence in Singapore. Seems he raised funds to pay for bombings in Manila that reportedly killed 22 people. Bafana replied, “No.”

“So,” countered Moussaoui, “you are cooperating out of your free will because you like to help the United States?” “No,” again replied Bafana. “Then why are you cooperating with the United States?” Bafana said eventually, “I believe the killing of innocent civilians is opposed to Islam. That’s why I’m giving my cooperation, to stop this killing.”

But then what about the 22 souls Bafana helped blast out of this world? What would Islam think of that? Facing a limitless amount of jail time for his crimes, he suddenly had a change of heart and purpose. And was this the star witness for the prosecution? How about a few hash junkies from Morocco, the home of the French citizen Moussaoui?

And was not Bafana the same man who said Moussaoui was in Malaysia about the same time as some of the Sept. 11 “hijackers.” Though, as Serrano reports that “there was no evidence to directly link him [Moussaoui] with them.” Although Serrano continues, “Bafana’s recollections suggest that Moussaoui was moving along the same path to strike the United States.”

No evidence to link Moussaoui to the “hijackers,” but recollection that he was on the same path with them to strike. Wow, there’s classy reporting, not to mention a dubious argument for the prosecution, provided by a “terror banker” facing a lifetime in an Asian slammer.

This kind of crapola is typical of what’s happening in the Moussaoui case: half-truths, shadings of implications, ignoring basic facts, a lynch-mob mentality. The fact is Moussaoui couldn’t fly to save his life, let alone to take some or all of the 3,000 lives lost on 9/11.

Consider, too, as far back as April 27, 2005, David Johnston and Neil A. Lewis tell us in the New York Times, “Officials Say There Is no Evidence to Back Moussaoui’s Story.” Here’s the story . . .

“WASHINGTON, April 26 -- Counterterrorism officials said on Tuesday that they did not believe that Zaccharias Moussaoui’s statements that he had been involved in a plot to fly an airplane into the White House as part of a plan to free an Islamic cleric serving a life sentence for terrorist acts.

“Mr. Moussaoui, in pleading guilty last Friday to six counts of conspiracy to engage in terrorism, insisted that although he was a member of Al Qaeda and had trained to fly planes into buildings, he was not part of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington. Instead, he said, he was preparing to participate in a different plot on a different day to free Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, a blind Muslim scholar serving a life sentence for conspiracy to blow up New York landmarks in 1993.”

Apart from his feigned heroics, the real issue is that Moussaoui’s misleading investigators the month before the attacks is “when he told them he had enrolled in flight school for the pleasure of it.” That was Moussaoui’s big sin. To boot, we’re told in the next paragraph, “In August of 2001, Mr. Moussaoui could barely have flown a small plane by himself, much less piloted a wide-bodied airliner.” Then, why is this misguided puppy on trial alone for the deaths of 3,000 people?

Now let me say this. I have great feeling for the families of 9/11 victims. Some of each group are or were friends and neighbors. But I think the families’ grief and anger are being basely exploited here. I am also not soft in any way about getting the right guys that perpetrated 9/11, and hanging them by their thumbs. But I smell a railroading here. Moussaoui couldn’t fly. His boasting lies cover his incompetence. They didn’t kill 3,000 of my fellow New Yorkers.

Scent Of A Hanging Mob

And look at this headline written by Jerry Markon and Timothy Dwyer in the March 7 Washington Post, “Moussaoui’s Lies Led to 9/11, Jury Told.” Jury told? But what do you guys, the writers, have to say? Well, the next paragraph says . . .

“The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks would have been prevented and nearly 3,000 lives would have been saved if Zaccharias Moussaoui had not lied to cover up the terrorist plot, prosecutors said yesterday as they began the long-awaited death penalty trial for the al-Qaeda conspirator.”

Again, the lie was that Moussaoui said he took flying lessons for pleasure. And then there’s the article’s phrase “The long-awaited death penalty trial . . ." Is this supposed to be an advertisement for a beheading, blood lust on the half-shell, a rewrite of a Department of Justice press release? Where is journalism in service of justice? The paragraph condemns Moussaoui with a half-truth: that lying about why he took flying lessons is tantamount to the total enabling of the 9/11 attack. Gimme a frigging break.

Ah, but the theater of it all. The media parroting the hours of accusations of strutting prosecutors, the lineage bringing back every rigged detail of the 9/11 mythology, and blindly parroting the very government people who ignored intelligence, who did nothing, who actively conspired to commit the attacks, and hence, whose entire system of protection collapsed on 9/11, and who walked away innocent as the morning dew. Hey, you want to hang another American catastrophe on a lone gunman and call it a day, it’s your business. Not me, not my game.

What I strongly suggest you do is click the linked 9/11 video right here, Loose Change 2nd Edition. It’s probably the best 90 minutes of your time you’ll invest in this lifetime. And you can stop, go back, listen, see over and over the 9/11 footage and facts, and write things down, till you’ve got the real story straight.

September 11 was an inside job, acted out with ruthless military precision and for purely political motives by the administration and the elite power entities which run it. Take that to the memory bank and save it.

Saying Moussaoui was responsible for 3,000 deaths is like saying Hani Hanjor flew Flight 77 into the Pentagon. This was another guy who could barely fly a Piper Cub, let alone a 757. And as Loose Change will show and tell you a 757 did not hit the Pentagon. There were no pieces of the 124-foot wing span, the 44-foot high tail, the 155-foot long body, the two, 9 by 12 feet, six-ton titanium Pratt and Whitney engines; no luggage, no bodies strewn on the bare lawn. The heat of the explosion was said to have evaporated everything -- everything! Nevertheless, the Army labs were able to provide DNA identification of all the casualties. If everything was consumed in flame, where did the DNA come from?

What was found was a rotor from a JD8D turbo jet that propelled the remote-controlled drone that carried the missile that blasted through the Pentagon. It spiraled down some 7,000 feet in two-and-a-half minutes to within a hundred feet of the ground, then made a right angle turn to level itself off and head at 469 nautical mph straight towards the Pentagon wall, exploding through on impact. Even a great pilot can’t fly a 757 that way, let alone a numb-nut like Hanjor.

What hit the Pentagon was a reconfigured Air Force drone carrying a guided missile, most probably flown from a former Air Force facility now called Raytheon ( right, Raytheon) in Van Nuys California. Also, the entry hole in the Pentagon was only 16 feet wide. The missile pierced three rings (9 feet) of steel enforced concrete, exiting from ring C, leaving an 8-foot wide hole. Does that sound like a 757?

In fact, there are three tapes of the hit, one made by a video camera in the nearby Sheraton Hotel, one by a nearby gas station, and one by the Virginia Department of Transportation. The FBI immediately snatched all three of those tapes after the hit and warned the owners of them not to say a word, and has not released one of the tapes to this date. All they’ve released is a few seconds of footage of the moment of blast impact, which doesn’t make their case at all, but rather suggests the drone/missile, given the cordite-produced silver gold color of the explosion. And this is just one piece of the total 9/11 ops.

So before rushing to judge Moussaoui, consider some homegrown types. They should be the ones given the lethal injections or put away in prison for life. The facts Loose Change will supply may shock you. But they may also save your life and the future of America. Just so we know what’s at stake.
