An argument is made that, if 9/11 was an inside job, why have whistleblowers not exposed it? And since they haven't, 9/11 must not have been an inside job. It is also contended, in this argument, that whistleblowing is a fairly easy, straightforward procedure.
In answer, first a few questions:
1. How many years did the Manhattan Project operate to produce the Bomb, before the public became aware of its existence? And how many people were involved in the project?
2. How many decades did the NSA operate before it became public knowledge, even though its budget was far larger than the budget for the CIA?
3. How many decades did Operation GLADIO perform its clandestine functions in Western Europe, before it was exposed in a BBC Documentary in the early '90s? Have you even heard of Operation GLADIO?
Here are some further questions to consider:
4. How likely is it that the major news media, which are owned by a handful of corporations owned & operated by wealthy men with a clear stake in how news is reported (or not reported), would go out of their way to report on high crimes, from which they garner profits in multitudinous ways?
5. How likely is it that a Black Ops soldier, say one who helped plant explosives in the WTC, would step forward & confess, man of conscience that he assuredly must be?
6. How likely is it that a government official involved either in the planning or the events of 9/11, or else in its cover-up, will suddenly gain a conscience and expose himself or herself to prison, or worse?
Having asked these questions, a simple google search on 9/11 whistleblowers is nevertheless very profitable & revealing. Here are some examples:
1. 9/11 Investigation Spawns Whistleblower Movement (a response to the 9/11 Commissions Report)
2. Ming the Mechanic: 9/11 Whistleblower Fired (this is about Kevin Ryan, the head of the Environmental Health Laboratory Div. of Underwriter's Laboratory, which is the lab that originally certified the steel used in WTC construction)
7. The 9/11 Whistleblowers (a whole slew of online interviews by Alex Jones, with the likes of Andreas Von Buelow, former German Defense Minister & Minister of Technology; Michael Meecher, former UK Environment Minister; FBI Special Agent Robert Wright; David Schippers, the prosecuting attorney in the Clinton impeachment trial; Sibel Edmonds, FBI Translator, etc. etc.
The biggest obstacle, perhaps, in impartially weighing evidence about 9/11 is the deep-seated & well-founded fear of the terrible implications if 9/11, in fact, was an inside job. It would require us to reevaluate so many things about our worldview that we formerly took for granted. It would expose us to knowledge of a danger far greater than we previously suspected. Most importantly, it would call on us to take a stand against very powerful entities with a formidable arsenal of weapons, both technological & psychological.
Nevertheless, truth matters, and truth is truth. And it is through ignorance that people are enslaved. What's more, people matter...the 3,000 who died in the attacks, and the many more thousands who have died since & are still dying at the hands of those who used those attacks as a pretext for an imperial agenda.
