"The administration … and prominent Republican propagandists ... are preparing us for another 9/11 event or series of events," he was quoted elsewhere as saying. “You have to count on the fact that if al Qaeda's not going to do it, it's going to be orchestrated. ... The Republicans are praying for another 9/11." (23)  


20 July 2007.
  Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR), a member of the House Committee on the Homeland Security Committee, is denied access to documents relating to plans on how to conduct government after a terrorist attack.  


Rep. DeFazio expresses shock. "I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio says. 



"Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right," DeFazio said.  (24)



20 July 2007
.  Paul Craig Roberts warns that Bush has the Republican Party in such a mess that it “cannot survive without another 9/11.” He adds that "whether authentic or orchestrated, an attack will activate Bush's new executive orders [NSPD-51], which create a dictatorial police state in event of national emergency."  


He predicts that the UK government is hand-in-glove with the Bush administration and will provide cover or verification for whatever claim the Bush administration advances. He warns that the right-wing governments in Canada and Australia will as well. “That takes care of the English-speaking world from which contrary explanations might reach the American people.” (25) 



23 July 2007.
  Webster Tarpley calls the Democrats complicit in any future Cheney war crimes: “That leaves us with Brzezinski’s third scenario point: a terrorist act in the US blamed on Iran. What Brzezinski is talking about here is high treason, insurrection , genocide, high crimes against humanity under US law and the Nuremberg Code. Why has [Brzezinski] not been called upon to tell all he knows about this sinister plot, so obviously operating through the Cheney-Addington office, and through Eliot Abrams at the White House? Because the Democrats who heard that warning – Senators Biden, Dodd, and Obama on the committee, plus Hillary Clinton – have done nothing to raise a hue and cry, hold hearings, issue subpoenas, demand documents, or begin impeachment hearings against those involved. The Democratic Party must therefore be seen as fully complicit under the Nuremberg Code in any future crimes by Cheney regarding a wider war in the Middle East.” (26) 


23 July 2007.
  In the same article, Tarpley reports that Lt. Col. Doug Delaney, chairman of the war studies program at Royal Military College, Kingston, Canada, observes: “It may well be that the key to bolstering Western resolve is another terrorist attack like 9/11 or the London transit bombings of two years ago, he says. “If nothing happens, it will be harder still to say this [sending of Canadian troops to Afghanistan] is necessary."  (27) 


23 July 2007.
  In that article too, Tarpley calls for a nationwide general strike: “The desperate demagogues of the Republican Party are facing a hecatomb at the polls in November 2008. Their idea seems to be that of the fascist Prime Minister Aznar of Spain in March 2004: if you are sure to lose an election, stage a terror attack, declare martial law, and perpetuate your power that way. Aznar was stopped by a general strike of about one third of the entire Spanish people. If all else fails, would Americans be capable of a mass strike against war and dictatorship? We may soon find out.” (28) 


24 July 2004.
  President Bush gives a speech at a South Carolina air force base where he insists that the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq will result in terrorist attacks on the US.  He repeats the claim that US troops in Iraq are “fighting bin Laden’s Al Qaeda.”  (29) 


24 July 2007.
  Air Force General Victor Renuart, who heads NORTHCOM, established by the Bush administration to oversee military operations within the US, tells Associated Press that the American military needs to triple its domestic military forces to counter the growing threat from Al Qaeda, which, he claims, is actively preparing another terrorist attack in the US. “I believe there are cells in the United States, or at least people who aspire to create cells in the United States,” Renuart says.  


He calls the National Intelligence Estimate a “summary of drumbeats.” Asked if he is concerned about an attack in the US this summer, he replies, “I have to be concerned that it could happen any day.”  (30)  [Ed. Note that NORTHCOM would be in charge of domestic security if martial law is declared and that NORAD and NORTHCOM occupy the same offices.] 



30 July 2007.
  Global Research reports that, in the past few days, television news broadcasts have prominently featured a recent alert issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), warning federal air marshals and other law enforcement agencies to look out for terrorists practicing to carry explosive components onto aircraft. Security officers were instructed to keep any eye out for “ordinary items that look like improvised explosive device components,” because they might be used to test airport security. (31) 


31 July 2007.
  Capt. Eric H. May reveals that people in the Portland, Oregon, area are worried that they may be the victims of the next 9/11, a “false-flag” nuclear attack during Operation Noble Resolve.  (33) 


3 Aug. 2007.
  According to Jim Fetzer of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Capitol Hill Blue reported a confidential memo circulating among senior Republicans suggesting "that a new attack by terrorists on U.S. soil could reverse the sagging fortunes of President George W. Bush as well as the GOP and 'restore his image as a leader of the American people'."  (34)


6 August 2006.
  Republican Rick Santorum is quoted as saying that "between now and November, a lot of things are going to happen, and I believe that by this time next year, the American public's going to have a very different view of this war." (35)
