Obama Lets Slip 9/11 A Controlled Demolition

White House spokesmen scrambled to perform damage control, claiming the recording is fake.

Washington, March 16 – US President Barack Obama forgot a microphone was still on today when he referred to the collapse of the Twin Towers in 2001 as a “false flag” event actually perpetrated by American agents using hidden explosives.

Obama was backstage at a brief appearance before the press, after he had briefly discussed his administration’s position on a brewing diplomatic and economic spat with Venezuela. But the president neglected to ensure the audio recording devices were deactivated before saying about the presidential compound in Caracas, “We can just apply some thermite to the place like we did on 9/11.” Aides attempted to confiscate all devices containing the incriminating data, but at least two were spirited out. White House spokesmen scrambled to perform damage control, claiming the recording is fake.

A movement of conspiracy theorists promoting what they call “9/11 Truth” have claimed since the attack in September 2001 that the “official version” of that morning’s events could not account for the collapse of the buildings, which killed thousands of people. That version asserts that two jumbo jets were hijacked by Islamic terrorists who killed the crew and piloted the planes into the Twin Towers. The resulting fire caused the floors above the crashes to collapse and take down the rest of the buildings; a separate plane was allegedly crashed into the Pentagon, killing hundreds more. A fourth jet crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania after the hijacking was foiled by passengers. Truthers claim to possess evidence that all four hijackings were either faked or orchestrated by someone other than the mostly Saudi suspects. The admission that the US government was actively involved in such an operation casts doubt on the extent to which any information it publicizes can be trusted.

Various camps of Truthers have insisted that burning jet fuel could not melt the steel skeleton of the 110-story buildings, and that the destruction at the World Trade Center was an “inside job.” The president’s off-the-cuff statement apparently vindicates those who have contended all along that two hijacked jetliners could not plausibly have brought down the towers, even as it deepens and sharpens the questions surrounding other implications of the revelation.

Obama’s slip offered no new information on who was behind the demolition, intensifying the debate among Truthers over the alleged involvement of the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service, acting for or in partnership with other malevolent forces to distract, hoodwink, or enslave the American population into doing their bidding. Positions have only hardened around those issues in the hours since the admission, even as the 9/11 Truth movement has gained new vigor after more than a decade of being dismissed as largely irrelevant crackpots.

Complicating matters, however, is the significant overlap between Truthers and Birthers, a group that maintains Obama was in fact born in Kenya, not the US, and thus holds the office of president illegally and deceitfully. Birthers will now be forced to square the reliability of such a deceiver’s remarks with their need to confirm government involvement in 9/11.
