Zo'n drie jaar geleden inmiddels, maakte hij een <b>Exposé over Jeffrey Epstein</b>. Dit is geen korte flitsende tik-tok video, maar een diepgaand vierluik waar uur na uur je mond verder open valt van verbazing. Samenvattend hebben ze er ook nog een uitzending met Glenn Beck aan vast geplakt.</p><p>The Zoro Ranch, Army of little Epsteins, zijn hoofd en penis invriezen voor de toekomst, wereldleiders, elite, kinderhandel, kindermisbruik... Een verhaal dat al drie jaar lang de koppen van de krant had moeten domineren, programma na programma op tv, maar de schaarse summiere verslaggeving spreekt boekdelen. Maar zelfs als je dit allemaal goed in je opneemt, weet je nog niet de helft over Jeffrey Epstein en de zieke, perverse wereld om hem heen... Denk bijvoorbeeld aan wat <a href="https://degrijzeduif.blogspot.com/2022/11/whitney-webb-over-jeffrey-epstein-bij.html">Whitney Webb over Epstein</a> heeft gepubliceerd.

Andere Tijden besteedt aandacht aan een van de grootste zedenzaken uit de geschiedenis: de zaak-Finkensieper.<br /><br />‘Ze begonnen daar met 8 x 25 milligram Largactil. Tweemaal per week kreeg ze een gesprek met de heer Finkensieper waar seksualiteit de hoofdmoot vormde. Ze moest van haar zelfbevrediging afgeholpen worden. Toen Finkensieper tijdens het gesprek even weg moest, kreeg ze een Zweeds voorlichtingsboekje in haar handen gedrukt, bij zijn terugkomst moest ze zich op de divan bevredigen: dan zou ze er wel van af komen. Finkensieper deed dit ook bij andere meisjes.’<br /><br />Aldus een citaat uit ‘Zetten, zat, gezeten’, een zwartboek van de Belangenvereniging Minderjarigen met klachten over de Heldringstichtingen in Zetten, pagina 13, gepubliceerd in mei 1974. Dit gaat over seksueel misbruik, het staat er zwart op wit. Maar het wordt niet opgepikt. Pas in 1992 wordt de psychiater Theo Finkensieper door de rechtbank veroordeeld, in één van de meest geruchtmakende zedenzaken van ons land.<br /><br />Naar aanleiding van het zwartboek wordt een onderzoekscommissie in het leven geroepen die de klachten over de Heldringstichtingen- een tehuis voor zeer moeilijk opvoedbare meisjes- onderzoekt. De meeste klachten in het zwartboek gaan over frequent en langdurig gebruik van de isoleercellen, veelvuldig medicijngebruik en platspuiten. Zetten staat dan bekend als het afvoerputje van de kinderbescherming.<br /> <br /><b>Misser</b><div><br />De commissie-Dijkhuis treedt aan in januari 1975. De orthopedagoog Jan van der Ploeg maakt deel uit van de commissie. Ze gaan voortvarend te werk en spreken met medewerkers bij de Heldringstichtingen maar ook met oud-pupillen en ouders en ze bezoeken de instelling een aantal keer. Van der Ploeg: “Wat wij in Zetten aantroffen was een instelling midden in de overgang van een religieuze naar een professionele organisatie.” Geconfronteerd met bovenstaand citaat uit het zwartboek reageert hij geschrokken: “Nee, dat citaat dat herinner me totaal niet. Dan hebben we het rapport blijkbaar niet goed gelezen. Ik vind dat toch een misser van ons, als commissie.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7JgNEvnUzm8ILtP6ixoVN2ozYF8Lk1wwR8VhX901B7FFwqlTdw-UWr36nBgQi2b9ePuk5cXP-Ak2v09ywNmkPDH3IGCYzjWpObq4xHzIjPJA4SKoPJshP7QTwmTSi9X5DoNJr0B0zgNMTN9FcS0rE8dn7mWnbiEYdSzcbLzwi_zqRlaqNvVUkovIL_Q/s520/3566.w520.0.3e93c9d.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7JgNEvnUzm8ILtP6ixoVN2ozYF8Lk1wwR8VhX901B7FFwqlTdw-UWr36nBgQi2b9ePuk5cXP-Ak2v09ywNmkPDH3IGCYzjWpObq4xHzIjPJA4SKoPJshP7QTwmTSi9X5DoNJr0B0zgNMTN9FcS0rE8dn7mWnbiEYdSzcbLzwi_zqRlaqNvVUkovIL_Q/s320/3566.w520.0.3e93c9d.png" /></a><br /><br /><b>Viespeuk</b><br /><br />Albert Walsweer gaat er werken als groepsleider in 1972. Wat hem meteen opvalt is dat er wel erg veel regels zijn. "Het werd me al heel snel duidelijk dat die regels er niet waren om gedrag van die meisjes reguleren, maar om het probleem bij de groepsleiders vandaan te halen." De meisjes zijn zeer opstandig, lopen veel weg. "En vrijwel alle meiden hadden toen ik daar kwam gedragsbeïnvloedende medicatie", herinnert Walsweer zich. Ook wordt er veel gebruik gemaakt van de isoleercel. Walsweer gooit het over een andere boeg: minder regels, minder gebruik van de isoleercel, en dat werkt goed. In 1974 krijgt Walsweer echter onverwacht zijn ontslag aangezegd. Zijn groep is zo veranderd dat het verschil met de andere groepen te groot wordt. Hij heeft nooit iets gemerkt van seksueel misbruik, maar achteraf waren er signalen. "Door de meiden werd wel over Finkensieper gesproken als een viespeuk."</div><div><br /><b>Gesloten groep</b><br /><br />Eliza Beelt komt in 1977 als 15-jarige in Zetten terecht. Ze is misbruikt door haar stiefvader en pleegbroers. Ze komt terecht op de Lingewal. "Het was een ‘gesloten groep’, met naar mijn gevoel de ergste gevallen. Dus meisjes die uit de prostitutie kwamen, drugsgebruikers, meisjes met psychische problemen." De regels zijn streng: er is een verbod op samenscholen, je mag geen affectie tonen als iemand verdriet heeft, de deuren zijn op slot.<br /><br />Eén keer per week moet ze naar Finkensieper. Bij het kennismakingsgesprek stelt hij seksueel getinte vragen. "Zoals of ik al seksuele ervaring had, hoeveel ervaring? Of ik mezelf weleens bevredigde? Dat soort dingen." Bij de derde sessie moet ze op schoot komen zitten en streelt hij haar. Ze moet zich uitkleden en hij doet een inwendig onderzoek naar haar maagdelijkheid. Bij de latere sessies vernedert hij haar. Vijftig minuten lang moet ze op haar knieën voor hem zitten, hoofd omlaag, in haar onderbroek. Ze krijgt klappen met een opgerold tijdschrift. <br /><br /></div><div><b>Zijn ondergang</b><br /><br />"Ik werd door Finkensieper aangenomen en ik werd ook zijn ondergang," vertelt Okke. Hij werkt vanaf 1982 in Zetten als groepsleider. Een meisje waar hij mentor van is geweest stuurt hem na een paar jaar een brief. Daarin vertelt ze dat ze seksueel misbruikt is door Finkensieper. Hij twijfelt geen moment aan haar brief. Dit meisje neemt hem in vertrouwen, daar moet hij iets mee doen. "Maar ik was ook bang. Die man had aanzien. Wat gaat hij doen? Dit zou hem zijn carrière kosten." Hij voelt zich ook schuldig: hij is haar mentor en ze heeft hem destijds niets verteld. Op 1 februari 1989 wordt Finkensieper ontslagen. In 1992 wordt hij tot zes jaar cel veroordeeld.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhQFzbXhxHHL-8hT1yHWZP0a_pyU5VUxFElP7WqPqfqUhv9VaB_ZtURUZZ1WO8gOsNtT2MSFPK4bh3Ih4f6HAJSmZIFEaB2R2tfxatcSeSzeIfMhWATaJdOjx1MOoRmm1WEDLeqKJawhFvSqytJoLl2S5a_PJ0Zz1iknvgvXfuS7A6AZ_ycy_3RsuN0A/s520/165.w520.0.0db4ca5.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="520" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhQFzbXhxHHL-8hT1yHWZP0a_pyU5VUxFElP7WqPqfqUhv9VaB_ZtURUZZ1WO8gOsNtT2MSFPK4bh3Ih4f6HAJSmZIFEaB2R2tfxatcSeSzeIfMhWATaJdOjx1MOoRmm1WEDLeqKJawhFvSqytJoLl2S5a_PJ0Zz1iknvgvXfuS7A6AZ_ycy_3RsuN0A/s320/165.w520.0.0db4ca5.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Jeugdinrichting in Zetten</i></div><div><br /><b>Jarenlang</b><br /><br />Het is moeilijk te begrijpen hoe het misbruik door Finkensieper jarenlang heeft kunnen voortduren. "Seksueel misbruik, incest, kindermishandeling, dat waren allemaal taboeonderwerpen in die tijd. Dat kwam nauwelijks ter sprake in de samenleving en we hadden daar als het ware ook geen taal voor ontwikkeld", legt Albert Walsweer uit. Vooral door de mediabelangstelling komt er aandacht voor zaken als kindermishandeling en seksueel misbruik. Pas na 35 jaar praat Eliza Beelt over haar ervaringen in Zetten. "Het is schaamte, maar ook de angst om meteen bestempeld te worden. Bevooroordeeld te worden, geen begrip te krijgen. Je werd toen in die tijd al niet geloofd, dus waarom nú wel?"<br /><br />De commissie-Samson doet op dit moment onafhankelijk onderzoek naar seksueel misbruik van minderjarigen die onder verantwoordelijkheid van de overheid in instellingen of pleeggezinnen zijn geplaatst. De uitkomsten van hun onderzoek worden op 8 oktober bekend gemaakt.<br /><br /><b>Regie en samenstelling: Yaèl Koren<br />Tekst en research: Maarten Blokzijl, Hannah Dogger<br /><br />Uitzending: zo 23 sep 2012, 21.20 uur, Nederland 2.</b><br /><br /><br />

<div><br /></div>Deze documentaire deelde ik eind 2020 al, maar ik zag dat de video van YouTube verwijderd was. Goh!?! Nu kon je de video altijd nog bekijken via de website van de documentaire, maar ik heb de video op Bitchute alsnog ingesloten. Daarmee had ik meteen een goede reden dit normaals onder jullie aandacht te brengen. Hieronder dus het oude artikel, met verse video!<br /><br /><div>
Er is een nieuwe documentaire uitgekomen die ik echt iedereen wil aanraden te kijken: 'Out of Shadows'.<br />
<br />
Het behandelt onderwerpen als hoe Hollywood en de media de geest van de mens beïnvloeden, Operation Mockingbird, Operation Paperclip, MK-Ultra, de False Flag in de Gulf of Tonkin waardoor de oorlog in Vietnam begon, kindermisbruik door de elite, satanisme én Pizzagate! Ik was de laatste weken alweer meer in deze materie gedoken en zag verschillende bronnen erover publiceren, maar deze documentaire is toch wel de reden voor mij om mijn blog na een jaar weer nieuw leven in te blazen. In mijn optiek moet je dit gewoon gezien hebben!<br />
<br />
De omschrijving van de makers:<br />
"The Out Of Shadows documentary lifts the mask on how the mainstream media & Hollywood manipulate & control the masses by spreading propaganda throughout their content. Our goal is to wake up the general public by shedding light on how we all have been lied to & brainwashed by a hidden enemy with a sinister agenda.<br /><div class="font_8" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0px; background-position-y: 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; background: none 0px 0px / auto repeat scroll padding-box border-box transparent; border-bottom-color: currentColor; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: currentcolor; border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; border-image: none 100% / 1 / 0 stretch; border-left-color: currentColor; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: currentColor; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: none; border-top-color: currentColor; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: 0px; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: din-next-w01-light,din-next-w02-light,din-next-w10-light,sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font: 17px din-next-w01-light, din-next-w02-light, din-next-w10-light, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; outline-color: invert; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div>
This project is the result of two years of blood, sweat and tears by a team of woke professionals.

Wat niet onbelangrijk is om te weten is dat YouTube deze video niet meer toont in de zoekresultaten wanneer je zelfs letterlijk op de titel zoekt. Zoiets heet delisting of shadow banning. Hoe toepasselijk is de titel dan, niet?<br />
<br />
Ik kwam hier achter nadat het <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm3tiFuV6oqGzgtxziX1XZw" target="_blank">YouTube kanaal Memory Hold</a> diens kijkers hierop wees. Ik ben het daarna zelf gaan controleren, een dag later, en bij mij hetzelfde resultaat: Na 15 pagina's naar beneden klikken vond ik wel het kanaal, maar de video zelf heb ik niet terug kunnen vinden. Zie hiervoor de onderstaande video.<br />
<br />
Dit is regelrechte censuur die wordt toegepast op een video waarvan 'de elite' niet wil dat die boodschap breed gehoord wordt. Helaas pindakaas, want ondanks dit walgelijke beleid is de video na een week al ruim 8.000.000 maal bekeken! En dan heb ik het louter over de originele video en niet over de kopieën of andere platforums die de video tonen.<br />
<br />
Nogmaals, please check de video en deel het waar je kunt.<br />

Also, the efits almost certainly were used as a warning message to the Podestas to keep to what ever blackmailed agenda there might have been.<br /><br />Learn MORE by watching #PizzaGate Part 4 and Part 30.<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />The #PizzaGate phenonomen has gone completely viral on the online world, despite getting virtually zero exposure on Main Stream Media. But instead of explaining what #PizzaGate is directly, I have decided to compile all the evidence and arguements I can find in a somewhat chronological format, and let the evidence speak for itself for what #PizzaGate really is. This is because #pizzagate is looking like it might be an incredibly dark and secretive hidden world.<br /><br />In #PizzaGate Part 1, I start off goving over the disappearance of 3-year old Madeleine McCann from a holiday resort in Portugal on May 3, 2007. Six years later, the London police department, known as the Scotland Yard, released e-fits of some of the suspects. Two of the e-fits were created from two different witnesses perceived to be describing the same person. But given that other witnesses described suspicious men near McCann's holiday appartment nearing and during the day of her disappearance, it is also possible that the e-fits also represent two different men.<br /><br />Now the real interesting part of the e-fits, which have fanned the flames of the entire #pizzagate phenomenon, is that the two e-fits look IDENTICAL to John and Tony Podesta! Even the mole on Tony Podesta's forehead is shown in the efits. John Podesta was Hillary Clinton's Chairman for this year's presidential campaign, the Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton, and Counselor to Barack Obama. Tony Podesta is a lobbyist, founder of the Podesta Group. Both John and Tony Podesta are considered two of the most powerful people in all of United States, and quite frankly in the entire world.<br /><br />To further indicate that the Podesta's were involved in the McCann case, the recent Wikileaks emails of John Podesta reveal that he may have deleted emails prior to May 3, 2007, the day of McCann's disappearance. In fact the email on May 4, 2007 that was sent through his email was actually by his Assistant Elizabeth Cooley.<br /><br />This is quite simply such a huge storyline, but the mainstream media, along with John and Tony Podesta, and Elizabeth Cooley, have been utterly silent about this. There appears to be a delibrate coverup, and this video argues in great detail that that just might be the case.<br /><br />Stay tuned for #PizzaGate Part 2...<br /><br />Download the notes in my video: <a href="https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIhto39CH6HpaUWNImIw">https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIhto39CH6HpaUWNImIw</a><br /><br />Download ALL notes: <a href="https://mes.fm/pizzagate">https://mes.fm/pizzagate</a><br /><br />View Video Notes on Steemit: <a href="https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-1-madeleine-mccann-disappearance">https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-1-madeleine-mccann-disappearance</a><div><br />

In this part, I take a look at the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, and the 2009 Child Sex Trafficking Controversy (ACORN). In 2009, James O'Keefe from Project Veritas went undercover as a pimp to 7 different locations, with Hannah Giles, playing the role of a prostitute. There plan was to talk with ACORN employees to see if they can help them set up, and cover up, a prostitution business which involves smuggling a dozen of underage girls from El Salvador, and have them "work" at a home, which they wanted ACORN to give them a housing loan for. The undercover videos, showed that nearly every ACORN employee, and from each of the 7 ACORN offices across the country, were very willing to help out James and Hannah in this illegal business.<br /><br />The fallout from these videos, involved ACORN losing federal and private funding, and eventually shutting its operation in the USA. James O'Keefe had to pay one of the ACORN employees $100,000 in a settlement for illegally recording him, which apparently is against the law in the state of California. The California Attorney General Jerry Brown's investigation concluded that the edited, and unedited tape recordings clearly show ACORN willing to aid in a hypothetical child prostitution ring, but nonetheless, no law was violated since state law requires that both parties intending to commit an actual crime, and not just a hypothetical crime.<br /><br />Regardless of all this, the mainstream media, including MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Forbes, Inquisitr, to name a few, have spun the story as James O'Keefe "heavily editing" the videos to make smear ACORN, and indicate to ACORN not being charged with any crimes as prove of such a claim. In this video, I go into detail to show how the mainstream media spin is just that, spin. This also illustrates how the mainstream media can be viewed occasionaly as fake news, something which they are branding alternative media of being.<br /><br />This video is meant to show that government funded organizations such as ACORN can be used to help set up and cover up, ratherly easily, an international child sex trafficking ring. I highly recommend every to watch all of the undercover tapes, as well as watching Rachel Maddow's spin on the story to see just how good the mainstream media is at misleading the public. Keep this in mind for future parts to this series.<br /><br />Stay tuned for #PizzaGate Part 3...<br /><br />Download the notes in my video: <a href="https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIhttV2egtmBe6Gn5Z3g">https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIhttV2egtmBe6Gn5Z3g</a><br /><br />View Video Notes on Steemit: <a href="https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-2-acorn-controversy">https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-2-acorn-controversy</a><br /><br />Download ALL Notes: <a href="https://mes.fm/pizzagate">https://mes.fm/pizzagate</a><br /><br />

I covered the controversy in great detail in Part 2 so make sure to watch that video. In this particular Part, I discuss Barack Obama's close ties to ACORN as well as his willingness to distance himself and lie about his involvement with ACORN.

Recently Snopes and New York Times finally wrote articles on the two efits, which are computer generated sketches, of the possible suspect that was described by the Smith family. As expected Snopes and NY Times stated that there is no connection between the Podestas and McCann case, but also as expected they provide extremely poor journalism in their articles.<br /><br />In reviewing the Snopes and NY Times articles, I show that many details were left out, not only by these news outlets but also by the BBC and The Guardian, which were used as references. The details left out include the fact that the Smith family witnesses to the supposed abductor of Madeleine McCann, which were Martin Smith, his son Peter Smith, and daughter Aoife all clearly stated that they had no idea how the man looked like and could not recognize who the man was, or what his face looked like, even if they were given a photograph of him! Not only that but the efits were suppressed from the public for 6 YEARS and first released during a BBC Crimewatch TV program in which the investigator Any Redwoord URGED the public to find the man. Thus it is clear that the efits could NOT have been realistically be produced at all!<br /><br />Thus in investigating the Snopes and NY Times articles, the rabbit hole just gets deeper, and it appears that Madeleine McCann most likely was not kidnapped, but may have been dead this whole time. This also means that the Podestas could not have been the kidnapper, but this doesn't take the Podestas off the hook either. In fact even more questions arise, namely:<br /><br />Why do the two efits clearly look like two separate men?<br />Why do the two efits appear to be produced from two separate computer programs?<br />Why do the efits match very closely to John and Tony Podesta, including the mole on Tony's forehead?<br /><br />Thus the connection between the Podestas and Madeleine McCann have not only NOT been resolved, but now their connection is even stronger because they don't necessarily need to be proved to be in Portugal at the time. For example, the efits could have been used as blackmail. But regardless of the different possible scenarios, if Snopes and New York Times really wanted to get to the bottom of the truth, they can simply ASK John Podesta, as well as his brother Tony and assistant Elizabeth Cooley, about their whereabouts during the McCann reported disappearance, and about any possible connection to the McCanns. Also their email correspondence should be requested as well because the Wikileaks make it clear that emails may be missing from John Podesta during that specific time period.<br /><br />Now it is also clear that a cover up of the McCann case appears to be the case, as it looks like with #PizzaGate as well. The reasons for this may also be because it may involve some very powerful people...<br /><br />Stay tuned for Part 5!<br /><br />Download the notes in my video: <a href="https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIht983jfGMKprUoJmZg">https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIht983jfGMKprUoJmZg</a><br /><br />View Video Notes on Steemit: <a href="https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-4-mccann-podesta-connection-debunking-snopes-and-new-york-times">https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-4-mccann-podesta-connection-debunking-snopes-and-new-york-times</a><br /><br />Download ALL Notes: <a href="https://mes.fm/pizzagate">https://mes.fm/pizzagate</a><br /><br /><br />

Two weeks after Madeleine was reported missing, Katherina and Savio Gaspar, close friends with Gerry and Kate McCann contacted police in police in Leicestershire, England and told them about concerns they had about another close friend of the McCanns, David Payne. David was one of the last person to have reported seeing Madeleine before her reported disappearance, which caught the attention of Katherina Gaspar. Their witness testimony to the police includes an incident which occurred twice, in which the first time was during a vacation in and Katherina was sitting at a table in between David and Gerry; this is shown below:<br /><br />"I remember Dave telling Gerry something like "she", referring to Madeleine, "would do this". When he mentioned "this", Dave was sucking on one of his fingers, pushing it in and out of his mouth, whilst with the other hand he circled his nipple, with a circulating movement over his clothes. This was done in a provocative manner there being an explicit insinuation in relation to what he was saying and doing."<br /><br />This witness testimony clearly suggests that a police angle that the police could have pursued was to investigate David Payne, as well as Gerry and Kate McCann's possible involvement or past history in pedophilia. But this instead, appears to have been purposely covered up by law enforcement and the mainstream media. These statements were withheld by the Leicestershire police for 6 months and only ever given to the Portuguese police AFTER the chief investigator Goncalo Amaral removed himself from the investigation. Goncalo retired early because he felt he was being silenced and the investigation compromised to only show the McCanns in a positive light. He also wrote a book called "Maddie: The Truth of the Lie" in which he argues that Madeleine had been killed accidently and that the McCanns were covering up their involvement.<br /><br />In his book, Goncalo also brings up the Gaspar statements and questions the police in withholding the statements as well as not pursing further into them. The McCanns took Goncalo to court over a libel case to have his book banned, which it was, then Goncalo won an appeal, which was again overturned, and once again re-overturned in Goncalo's favor just last year. The McCann's are looking to take him to the Supreme court, all to try to silence his book.<br /><br />The Gaspar statements clearly show that some people have the power to collude with law enforcement and the media to cover up and hinder proper investigations into possibly very illegal criminal cases, even those including the abuse of children.<br /><br />Stay tuned for Part 6...<br /><br />Download the notes in my video: <a href="https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIhuBbn0bbKRtV3mby5A">https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIhuBbn0bbKRtV3mby5A</a><br /><br />View Video Notes on Steemit: <a href="https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-5-mccann-case-gaspar-statements">https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-5-mccann-case-gaspar-statements</a><br /><br />Download ALL Notes: <a href="https://mes.fm/pizzagate">https://mes.fm/pizzagate</a><br /><br /><br />

The witness is a professional child services and social worker with over 25 years of experience, Yvonne Warren Martin, who happened to be on holiday vacation in Portugal during Madeleine’s reported disappearance. Madeleine was reported missing on May 3, 2007, but Yvonne Martin heard about this in the news on the day after, May 4th, and which she decided to travel to the apartment where Gerry and Kate McCann were staying. She met up with the McCanns, who were accompanied by their close family friend David Payne, at around 9:30 AM. Yvonne tried to console Kate McCann, who was clearly distraught and in tears.<br /><br />Yvonne offered to help the McCanns in any way she could by offering her expertise and knowledge. She also wanted to speak with Kate alone to get a better idea of the situation because, from her experience, child cases are almost always the result of other family members or family friends being involved. But Kate was advised by her friend David Payne to stop talking to Yvonne and was told it was better she be quite and not say anything. Yvonne found this extremely strange and wondered why the McCanns would not want to speak about possible ways in uncovering the mystery of Madeleine. Also of note is that Yvonne found David Payne very familiar but could not spot where she may have seen him. Nonetheless, her encounter with the McCanns caused her to believe that they may have been involved in Madeleines disappearance. She also suspected David Payne to be involved as well, and wanted the police to investigate whether he may be a pedophile. This comes as quite a revelation given the statements made by Katherina and Savio Gaspar, see #PizzaGate Part 5, which also suggest that David Payne may be a pedophile.<br /><br />Yvonne’s encounter with the McCanns was reported by the former chief Portuguese police investigator Goncalo Amaral in his book “Maddie: Truth of the Lie”, by Kate McCann in her book titled “Madeleine”, by David Payne during his witness testimony, and by countless other citizen journalists online. But as expected, the only place that the Yvonne testimony was not written about is the mainstream media, including Wikipedia. This is yet another example of the mainstream media appearing to not be about the truth, but rather push pre-existing agendas and narratives they either they, or others more powerful, have.<br /><br />Stay tuned for #PizzaGate Part 7…<br /><br />Download the notes in my video: <a href="https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIhuE6sWqT1sdCGB05cA">https://1drv.ms/b/s!As32ynv0LoaIhuE6sWqT1sdCGB05cA</a><br /><br />View Video Notes on Steemit: <a href="https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-6-mccann-case-yvonne-martin-statements">https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@mes/video-notes-pizzagate-part-6-mccann-case-yvonne-martin-statements</a><br /><br />Download ALL Notes: <a href="https://mes.fm/pizzagate">https://mes.fm/</a>pizzagate <br /><br />

Berg exposing child sexual abuse in the film industry in California.<br /><br />The documentary follows the stories of five former child actors who were sexually abused by multiple predators. Much of the film focuses on Marc Collins-Rector, subsequently convicted of child sexual abuse, who co-owned and operated Digital Entertainment Network, with Brock Pierce also owning a minor share. DEN produced brief online videos during the early days of the Internet, and was noted for wild parties featuring underage boys at Collins-Rector's house.<br /><br />The film makes multiple references to director Bryan Singer, who was allegedly at some of the DEN parties, but does not detail allegations against him. A lawsuit alleging that Singer sexually abused Michael Egan as an underage boy was withdrawn during the production of the film. As a result, the film only details allegations made by persons willing to appear on camera.<br /><br />Among the people interviewed is Vanity Fair journalist John Connolly, who states that an article on pedophilia in Hollywood was dropped at the last minute by Details magazine.<div><br /></div><div><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Secret">Bron</a><br /><br />An Open Secret explores the accusations of sexual abuse experienced by five child actors in Hollywood who speak out about their abuse. Often quoted as “the film Hollywood doesn’t want you to see”, it explores how some of the elite in Hollywood prey on children in the industry using drugs, alcohol, and grooming. Much of the accused Hollywood aristocracy still work for well-known companies such as Nickelodeon.<br /><br />The film not only highlights the personal experiences of the abused, but drives the message that these incidents are not unique but commonplace in a secretive paedophile ring that has lasted for decades. While some of the accused served jail time, many are still working with children and doing so legally. This documentary inspires hope of not only exposing the sexual abuse, but also strengthening the legal system in an attempt to better protect children in Hollywood.<br /><br /><a href="https://watchdocumentaries.com/an-open-secret/">Bron</a><br /><br /></div><br />

Zij ontwikkelde DIS als gevolg hiervan. DIS is niet haar probleem, het was haar oplossing voor de verschrikkingen die ze als kind onderging.</div><div><br />Het verhaal van Matroesjka is indringend en urgent. De ervaringen in de netwerken die in Nederland actief zijn, veroorzaken bij Matroesjka een Dissociatieve Identiteits Stoornis, naast complexe PTSS, een eetstoornis en een aantal andere symptomen die haar gezondheid schaden.<br /><br />Het vinden van adequate hulp bij zo'n ingewikkeld verleden is lastig. Het ontbreken van goede, ter zake kundige hulpverlening, maakt dat de meeste slachtoffers van sadistisch en/of satanisch ritueel misbruik vaak pas laat in hun leven gediagnostiseerd worden en zelfs als het eenmaal duidelijk is dat het hier gaat om een complexe zorgvraag, wordt de problematiek nog onderschat.<br /><br />Het onderwerp ritueel misbruik is actueel en er zijn op dit moment gelukkig eindelijke plaatsen waar de verhalen gehoord worden, zoals bij Radio Argos, waar de uitzending 'Glasscherven en duistere rituelen' zorgde voor kamervragen. Het netwerk heeft echter veel invloed, ook in politieke kringen, waardoor het risico bestaat dat het opnieuw in de doofpot zal verdwijnen.<br /><br />Matroesjka draagt bij aan de kennis rondom ritueel seksueel misbruik en hoe daarvan te helen. Haar getuigenis is niet makkelijk te lezen en was niet makkelijk om te schrijven. Integendeel, er zijn delen van haar verhaal waar zij, zelfs na al die jaren, nog niet over kan vertellen. Wat er kon zijn, het verhaal dat al verteld kan worden, staat in dit prachtige boek.<br /><br />Aan de eerste reacties op het boek horen we dat het raak is. Veel herkenning bij mensen met vergelijkbare achtergronden en ook 'goed geschreven'. Matroesjka heeft het boek ook geschreven met het oog op de hulpverlening. Zodat therapeuten meer kijk hebben op de problematiek die achter het 'probleem aan de voorkant' zit en vooral ook dat er meer erkenning komt voor meelevers en hun recht op leven.<br /><br />Taal: nl<br />Bindwijze: Paperback<br />Oorspronkelijke releasedatum: 05 oktober 2022<br />Aantal pagina's: 291<br />Illustraties: Met zwart-wit illustraties<br />EAN: 9789492853844<br /><br />Te koop via <a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/matroesjka/9300000125726617/?bltgh=tq2XVe3s8DpJWV-y9YxCwQ.2_6.9.ProductTitle" target="_blank">Bol.com</a><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781421592654848138.post-84753189748413675822022-10-31T06:05:00.001-07:002022-10-31T06:05:32.393-07:00Optreden Bessel van der Kolk bij Zomergasten kan desastreuze gevolgen hebben<b>Opinie: Optreden Bessel van der Kolk bij Zomergasten kan desastreuze gevolgen hebben</b><br /><br />De laatste Zomergast van 2022 is psychiater en traumaspecialist Bessel van der Kolk.

En als ze eenmaal zijn verdrongen, dat ze een sluimerend bestaan leiden wachtend op het moment dat ze worden hervonden. Het idee van verdringing is kwestieus. De reden is dat traumatische herinneringen niet worden verdrongen maar juist extra goed beklijven. Wel is het zo dat slachtoffers van trauma dikwijls niet willen praten over hun trauma of er niet over willen nadenken. Maar dat is van een andere orde dan verdringing.<br /><br />Dat nogal wat mensen geloven in het bestaan van verdringing is ronduit gevaarlijk. En vooral als zulk geloof opduikt in de psychologische behandelkamer of in de rechtbank. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek heeft meermaals aangetoond dat therapeuten die overtuigd zijn van het bestaan van verdringing hun patiënten suggestief ertoe kunnen aanzetten te denken dat ze seksueel misbruikt zijn terwijl dat misbruik nooit heeft plaatsgevonden.<br /><br /><b>Nepherinneringen</b><br /><br />Dat gaat zo. Patiënten met lichamelijke en psychische symptomen (zoals het hebben van paniekaanvallen) komen de therapiekamer binnen bij een therapeut die overtuigd is van de mogelijkheid van verdringing. Zulke clinici gaan ervan uit dat dergelijke symptomen het gevolg zijn van <a href="https://www.volkskrant.nl/mensen/beroepscode-geeist-voor-incesthulp~b8476fbf/">een onbewuste latente herinnering aan misbruik</a>. Als de patiënten claimen zich niets te herinneren van enige misbruik in het verleden, is dat koren op de molen voor de clinici. Voor hen bewijst dat dus dat de herinnering is verdrongen. Aan patiënten wordt dan verteld dat hun symptomen zijn ontstaan omdat ze vroeger ooit zijn misbruikt maar dat de herinnering eraan is weggestopt in hun onderbewustzijn.<br /><br />Zulke suggestieve wenken leiden niet zelden tot nepherinneringen aan misbruik. De patiënt wordt niet van haar probleem afgeholpen en in plaats daarvan wordt een verzonnen traumatisch verleden aangepraat. <a href="https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/seks-leugens-en-therapie~b0356707/">Veel rechtszaken hebben uitgewezen dat zulke pseudo-herinneringen ook tot valse beschuldigingen aan misbruik kunnen resulteren</a> en zelfs kunnen zorgen voor onterechte veroordelingen.<div><br /><b>Traumasporen</b><br /><br />Iemand die sterk gelooft in verdringing en zelfs zijn brood verdient met het populariseren van dat idee is Bessel van der Kolk. Bessel van der Kolk is psychiater en auteur van het boek Traumasporen (2016). In dat boek beschrijft hij dat traumatische herinneringen worden verdrongen en zich uiten in allerlei lichamelijke reacties, ook wel ‘the body keeps the score’ genoemd. Met die gedachte wil Van der Kolk lezers ervan overtuigen dat als een traumatische ervaring te overweldigend is voor een slachtoffer en daardoor wordt weggedrukt, het lichaam zich het trauma wel ‘herinnert’. Dat is, gezien wat wetenschappelijk bekend is over herinneringen en trauma, een gevaarlijke gedachte. En dan: extra frappant is dat Van der Kolk hier in de val trapt om een niet-wetenschappelijk idee te voorzien van wetenschappelijk cachet.<br /><br />Van der Kolk wordt komende zondag 28 augustus geïnterviewd bij Zomergasten. Wij vinden zijn geplande interview een uitermate slechte zet. Zo’n interview kan ertoe leiden dat Van der Kolk de ruimte krijgt om zijn onjuiste en potentieel gevaarlijke ideeën te verspreiden. Dat is welbeschouwd verspreiden van desinformatie, iets waar de NPO zich negatief over uitliet betreffende televisiezender Ongehoord Nederland.Op zijn minst zou in het interview Van der Kolk kritisch aan de tand moeten worden gevoeld over het flinterdunne idee van ‘the body keeps the score’. Anders bestaat het risico dat Van der Kolks interview eraan zal bijdragen dat trauma’s worden aangepraat in de behandelkamer. Dat zal desastreuze gevolgen hebben voor patiënten en hun families.<br /><br /><b>MEER OVER DE AUTEURS<br /></b><br /><b>Henry Otgaar</b>, is hoogleraar Rechtspsychologie aan de Universiteit Maastricht en de Universiteit Leuven. <b>Peter van Koppen</b> is emeritus hoogleraar Rechtspsychologie aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam en de Universiteit Maastricht. <b>Annelies Vredeveldt</b> is universitair hoofddocent aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opinie/opinie-optreden-bessel-van-der-kolk-bij-zomergasten-kan-desastreuze-gevolgen-hebben~b0b232b0/?utm_campaign=shared_earned&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook" target="_blank">Bron</a><br /><br /><a href="https://archive.ph/pVkQD" target="_blank">Archief</a><br /><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781421592654848138.post-62104237221310649932022-10-30T14:34:00.003-07:002022-10-31T06:06:21.407-07:00Commissie Hendriks - Procesrapportage - 13 december 2021<br /><br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX6jhDx0VF9k6Jkfj-YFF0--a2e7sJvImTLbCktSS3wYag0QXOVc1aWo80YynSu-ebY5CJ6ONBfU28QowQsJvpMo7-dblI56sVH3w9vG1F0GKCWGDk8FdDquRdXBa6448ekMMt95jQ4XU55iu9sniFDdXf6uFuCq_rtdhXeWLjoZ6PJq06pfF_7yRydA/s2024/Screenshot_20221030-220533_Acrobat%20for%20Samsung.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX6jhDx0VF9k6Jkfj-YFF0--a2e7sJvImTLbCktSS3wYag0QXOVc1aWo80YynSu-ebY5CJ6ONBfU28QowQsJvpMo7-dblI56sVH3w9vG1F0GKCWGDk8FdDquRdXBa6448ekMMt95jQ4XU55iu9sniFDdXf6uFuCq_rtdhXeWLjoZ6PJq06pfF_7yRydA/w285-h400/Screenshot_20221030-220533_Acrobat%20for%20Samsung.jpg" /></a><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">Procesrapportage</h2><h3 style="text-align: left;">Tijdelijke Onderzoekscommissie Georganiseerd Sadistisch Misbruik van Minderjarigen</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">(Commissie Hendriks)</h3><br /><b>Den Haag, <br /><br />13 december 2021 <br /><br />Prof. dr.

Zij doet verslag van haar onderzoek in een eindrapport dat op 1 juli 2022 verschijnt. De commissie wordt dan opgeheven. <div><br /></div><div>In deze procesrapportage wordt verslag gedaan van de werkzaamheden van de commissie tot nu toe en wordt vooruit gekeken naar de werkzaamheden in de komende maanden. </div><div><br /></div><div><i>Samenstelling commissie</i> </div><div>Hendriks Prof. dr. Jan Hendriks is per 1 april 2021 de voorzitter van de commissie. Hij is gespecialiseerd in de behandeling van en onderzoek naar zedendelinquenten. De overige leden zijn dr. Anne-Marie Slotboom (per 1 april 2021; zij is gespecialiseerd in vrouwen met delinquent gedrag en daar ook slachtoffer van zijn) en prof. dr. Trudy Mooren (per 1 juli 2021; zij is gespecialiseerd in de invloed van trauma op het functioneren van gezinnen en families). </div><div><br /></div><div><i>Ondersteuning van de commissie</i> </div><div>Een ambtelijk secretaris van het Ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid ondersteunt de commissie. Deze secretaris legt voor de inhoudelijke uitvoering van deze taak alleen verantwoording af aan de voorzitter van de commissie. Verder ondersteunt een externe senior onderzoeker de commissie. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Werkzaamheden oriënterende fase in de periode 1 april – 16 juli 2021 </b></div><div>De commissie heeft ervoor gekozen om tijdens deze oriënterende fase zoveel mogelijk en ook zo verschillend mogelijke informatiebronnen te gebruiken. Alleen op deze wijze kan een overzicht van de huidige kennis op een wetenschappelijk verantwoorde wijze weergegeven worden. Als startpunt is gekozen voor het voeren van oriënterende gesprekken met alle (voormalig) betrokken organisaties bij dit fenomeen. Deze gesprekken hebben van 22 april tot en met 16 juli 2021 plaatsgevonden. </div><div><br /></div><div>De betreffende organisaties zijn: </div><div>- Kenniscentrum Transgenerationeel Georganiseerd Geweld (Kenniscentrum TGG; vertegenwoordiging van therapeuten die slachtoffers van geritualiseerd misbruik bijstaan); </div><div>- Werkgroep Spotlight (belangenvertegenwoordiger van patiënten met DIS en slachtoffers van georganiseerd misbruik); </div><div>- VPRO (programmamaker Argos, de informatie uit hun uitzending van de zomer van 2020 was de aanleiding voor Kamervragen); </div><div>- Voormalige Werkgroep Fictieve Herinneringen en De Doos van Pandora, de belangbehartiger van (met name) ouders die ten onrechte beschuldigd zijn van seksueel misbruik (al dan niet met rituele kenmerken); </div><div>- Sektesignaal (tussen 2013 en 2019 was dit een meldpunt voor slachtoffers binnen sektes) </div><div>- Meld Misdaad Anoniem (i.v.m. het gedeelde operationele management van het opgeheven meldpunt Sektesignaal); </div><div>- Landelijke Expertisegroep Bijzondere Zedenzaken (LEBZ); </div><div>- Voormalige leden van de voormalige Commissie Hulsenbek (onderzoekscommissie naar Ritueel Misbruik die in april 1994 haar eindrapport uitbracht). </div><div><br /></div><div>In deze periode is eveneens gestart met een verkennend literatuuronderzoek naar de verschillende onderwerpen waarnaar onderzoek wordt gedaan. Literatuuronderzoek zal doorlopend plaatsvinden. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Werkzaamheden uitvoerende fase deel 1 in de periode 16 juli – 17 december 2021 </b></div><div>Na de oriënterende fase heeft de commissie met de hierboven genoemde organisaties vervolggesprekken gehad. De gesprekken met de werkgroep Spotlight en het Kenniscentrum TGG zijn gevoerd om te bekijken op welke wijze zij een bijdrage kunnen leveren aan het onderzoek. Kenniscentrum KTGG vraagt hun achterban (therapeuten en slachtoffers) of zij willen meewerken aan het onderzoek. Met werkgroep Spotlight lopen nog gesprekken. De commissie is op dit moment bezig om contacten te leggen met verschillende gespecialiseerde traumacentra van wie cliënten ervaringen met georganiseerd misbruik in hun jeugd vermelden. Ook via de VPRO wordt geprobeerd met zowel therapeuten als slachtoffers te spreken.</div><div><br />Er zijn verder gesprekken geweest met: </div><div>- Diverse wetenschappers met specifieke kennis op het vlak van de werking van het geheugen, de achtergronden, de functie van rituelen en seksueel misbruik van minderjarigen in het algemeen. </div><div>- De coördinator van het onderzoek naar de omvang van georganiseerd sadistisch geweld tegen minderjarigen (onderdeel van het door het WODC uitgezette onderzoek naar het inschatten van de omvang van verborgen fenomenen). </div><div>- De voormalige Nationaal Rapporteur Mensenhandel en Seksueel Geweld tegen Kinderen en een senior onderzoeker van de Nationaal Rapporteur. </div><div>- Een zogenaamde rectractor of ‘herroeper’, iemand die is teruggekomen op zijn/haar herinneringen aan ritueel misbruik. </div><div>- De Landelijk coördinator bestrijding kinderpornografie en kindersekstoerisme. </div><div>- Diverse vertegenwoordigers van Meldpunten specifiek voor slachtoffers van seksueel misbruik.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Gesprekken die nog gevoerd gaan worden</i> </div><div>Naast bovenstaande gesprekken wil de commissie nog een aantal andere gesprekken voeren. Momenteel wordt een gesprek gepland met de huidige Nationaal Coördinator Mensenhandel en Seksueel Geweld tegen Kinderen. Ook probeert de commissie met andere rectractors te spreken, hiervoor zijn al de benodigde contacten gelegd. Ook is besloten contact te leggen met een aantal juristen die zich hebben bezig gehouden met zaken van georganiseerd sadistisch misbruik van minderjarigen en/of slachtoffers hebben bijgestaan. Naast gesprekken met de verschillende overheidsorganisaties die zich bezighouden met het tegengaan van de verspreiding van beeldmateriaal van seksueel misbruik van minderjarigen, probeert de commissie ook in gesprek te gaan met andere organisaties zoals het burgerjournalistiek-netwerk Bellingcat en onderzoeksplatform Pointer om na te gaan of zij beeldmateriaal van dit type misbruik zijn tegengekomen tijdens hun werkzaamheden. </div><div><br /></div><div><i>Deelonderzoeken door de commissie</i> </div><div>De commissie is aan de slag gegaan met een aantal specifieke deelonderzoeken. Allereerst geeft een uitgevoerde media-analyse zicht op de berichtgeving over het fenomeen in diverse traditionele en moderne mediabronnen. De uitgevoerde analyse van rechtspraak beschrijft rechtszaken over satanisch/ritueel misbruik dan wel georganiseerd sadistisch geweld van minderjarigen. Ook is begonnen met een analyse van meldingen bij de diverse meldpunten voor seksueel geweld en het in kaart brengen van alle relevante organisaties die ondersteuning bieden aan slachtoffers van georganiseerd seksueel misbruik. Deze analyse wordt in januari 2022 afgerond. Verder heeft de commissie de beschikking gekregen over een aantal dossiers van de Voormalige Werkgroep Fictieve Herinneringen waarin melding wordt gemaakt van incestzaken met mogelijk sadistische kenmerken. De commissie analyseert deze dossiers. Voorts worden een aantal dossier betreffende ritueel en satanisch kindermisbruik geanalyseerd die bij de LEBZ aanwezig zijn. Tot slot wordt literatuuronderzoek verricht naar de invloed van complotdenkers op meldingen van satanisch en ritueel misbruik. </div><div><br /></div><div><i>Deelonderzoeken in opdracht van de commissie</i> </div><div>De commissie heeft verschillende deelonderzoeken bij externe onderzoekers uitgezet over belangrijke onderwerpen aangaande georganiseerd sadistisch misbruik van minderjarigen. Het gaat hierbij om onderzoeken waarbij specialistische kennis nodig is over een bepaald onderwerp. Het eerste onderzoek betreft een onderzoek door bureau Beke naar politieregistraties en meldingen van georganiseerd sadistisch geweld van minderjarigen. De looptijd van dit onderzoek is drie maanden. Het tweede onderzoek betreft een beschouwing van de fenomenen dwingende controle en schadelijke desinformatie in de context van georganiseerd sadistisch misbruik van minderjarigen dat wordt uitgevoerd door een onderzoeksbureau dat gespecialiseerd is in o.a. veiligheidsvraagstukken rond desinformatie, radicalisering en dwingende controle.

Die toezegging doe ik door middel van deze brief gestand. <br /><br />De consultatiefase over het wetsvoorstel seksuele misdrijven is deze zomer afgerond. Uit de ontvangen adviezen en reacties leid ik af dat de noodzaak en wens om de wetgeving over de seksuele misdrijven in het Wetboek van Strafrecht te moderniseren, breed wordt gedeeld. De volgende stappen in het wetgevingstraject zijn behandeling van het wetsvoorstel in de ministerraad en, daarna, adviesaanvraag aan de Afdeling advisering van de Raad van State. Voordat deze vervolgstappen kunnen worden gezet dienen de financiële gevolgen van de nieuwe wetgeving gedekt te zijn in de begroting van mijn ministerie. Zoals ik uw Kamer bij brief van 13 september jl. heb laten weten en tijdens het commissiedebat ook is besproken, bestaat voor deze gevolgen thans geen dekking.1 Het verder brengen van en het vinden van financiële middelen voor dit wetsvoorstel is een overweging voor het nieuwe kabinet. <br /><br />Financiële gevolgen <br /><br />De onderstaande tabel geeft inzicht in de financiële gevolgen van het wetsvoorstel:</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi581cQ-MyGl_ORZt-sIg_uEzzbBH5SlPrDF_1UWljYs4T7Z6rl0P388pK4ZGObVVFNEHmEMxtXdULNVQjh-e_v1tOaB9tfPGKEwP904pNNnLVnGeMul2aghW4qGoVCIh7BpARLUL8XKFE4o0JEu435kFOKq2rWLkOkAugaoFemduM5BO2fapXqB__YQ/s1440/Screenshot_20221030-003050_Acrobat%20for%20Samsung.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="898" data-original-width="1440" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi581cQ-MyGl_ORZt-sIg_uEzzbBH5SlPrDF_1UWljYs4T7Z6rl0P388pK4ZGObVVFNEHmEMxtXdULNVQjh-e_v1tOaB9tfPGKEwP904pNNnLVnGeMul2aghW4qGoVCIh7BpARLUL8XKFE4o0JEu435kFOKq2rWLkOkAugaoFemduM5BO2fapXqB__YQ/s320/Screenshot_20221030-003050_Acrobat%20for%20Samsung.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />De bedragen hierboven zijn tot stand gekomen via een ketenbrede kostenraming die is uitgevoerd met behulp van het Prognose Model Justitiële Ketens, waarbij rekening is gehouden met een toename van het aantal slachtoffers, geregistreerde misdrijven en verdachten met 5 procent en een toename van de gemiddelde duur van vrijheidsstraffen met 10 procent. Daarnaast is gebruik gemaakt van inschattingen van de organisaties zelf, die in het kader van de advisering over het voorstel zijn opgeleverd. Het gaat dan om de Nationale Politie, het openbaar ministerie, de Raad voor de rechtspraak en het Nederlands Forensisch Instituut (NFI). Met het Centraal Justitieel Incasso Bureau ben ik in gesprek of het nodig is om een uitvoeringstoets uit te laten voeren. Bovendien onderzoek ik op dit moment of de inwerkingtreding van de Wet straffen en beschermen, op 1 juli jl., op het kostenplaatje effect heeft. De uitkomsten hiervan zijn mogelijk dus nog van invloed op de totaalkosten. Opgemerkt dient ook te worden dat verschillende organisaties benadrukken dat het gaat om grove inschattingen, die preciezer worden als met de implementatie een aanvang wordt genomen. <br /><br />Zoals in de tabel te zien, is voor het wetsvoorstel incidenteel 3,6 miljoen euro benodigd en structureel 20,1 miljoen euro. De meeste structurele kosten zijn gelegen in de verwachte toename van het aantal opgelegde gevangenisstraffen en de uitvoeringskosten bij de politie. Eerder werd uitgegaan van een structureel benodigd bedrag van 15 miljoen euro, zoals ook is aangehaald tijdens het commissiedebat van 16 september jl. Dat dit bedrag hoger uitvalt, heeft ermee te maken dat de consultatie over dit wetsvoorstel nadere inzichten in de financiële gevolgen heeft opgeleverd, onder meer door de oplevering van aanvullende impactanalyses. Zo was bij de eerdere raming bijvoorbeeld nog geen rekening gehouden met de impact van het wetsvoorstel op het NFI. <br /><br />In de tabel is ervan uitgegaan dat de regeling in 2024 in werking treedt en de incidentele gelden vooral worden benut om (uitvoerings)organisaties voor die datum in staat te stellen om zich op adequate wijze op de inwerkingtreding van deze wet voor te bereiden. Een zorgvuldige, in nauwe samenwerking met de ketenpartners georganiseerde implementatiefase acht ik voor de effectiviteit van deze wet essentieel. Vandaar dat mijn departement voornemens is om, als het nieuwe kabinet het wetsvoorstel verder brengt, een implementatieprogramma op te starten. Daarover heb ik uw Kamer eerder geïnformeerd bij brief van 16 februari jl. (Kamerstuk 31 015, nr. 223) inzake de aanpak van online seksueel kindermisbruik en zeden.

Dat is een tweemi- nutendebat over Kindermisbruik en seksueel geweld, naar aanleiding van een commissiedebat dat op 16 september plaatsvond. De minister van Justitie en Veiligheid heet ik van harte welkom en ook de leden. Alle leden die zich hebben opgegeven om te spreken hebben ook dat commissiedebat bijgewoond. Ik verzoek hen om niet het hele debat over te doen, temeer daar we midden in de begrotingsbehandelingen zitten en 's avonds behoorlijk lang doorgaan. Ik zou het dus graag compact willen houden. </div><div><br /></div><div>Als eerste spreker van de zijde van de Kamer is het woord aan mevrouw Van der Werf, die namens D66 het woord zal voeren. Gaat uw gang. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Van der Werf (D66): </div><div>Voorzitter. De urgentie om slachtoffers van seksueel geweld beter te helpen werd in ons debat breed gedeeld. Ik vroeg de minister toen ook te reageren op een oproep van verschillende organisaties. Die oproep was: laten we naar een landelijke entree gaan, een soort eerste hulp bij seksueel geweld, waar slachtoffers verder op weg worden geholpen naar de juiste hulpverlening. Of dat nou een dokter, een advocaat, een agent of een psycholoog of alle vier tegelijk is, moet daar goed kunnen worden beoordeeld. Dat zorgt ervoor dat mensen de weg naar de juiste plek weten te vinden, een idee dat aan de veiligheidskant maar ook aan de zorgkant breed gedragen is. Daarom dien ik de volgende motie in. </div><div><br /></div><div>Motie </div><div><br /></div><div>De Kamer, </div><div><br /></div><div>gehoord de beraadslaging, </div><div><br /></div><div>overwegende dat jaarlijks ongeveer 100.000 mensen slachtoffer zijn van seksueel geweld, dat 1 op de 8 vrouwen en 1 op de 25 mannen ooit is verkracht, en dat 1 op de 3 kinderen jonger dan 18 jaar een vorm van seksueel misbruik heeft meegemaakt; </div><div><br /></div><div>overwegende dat de politie voor een deel van de slachtof- fers van seksueel geweld het eerste aanspreekpunt is, maar dat niet in alle gevallen het doen van aangifte de hulpvraag van een slachtoffer is; overwegende dat de Nationaal Rapporteur Mensenhandel en Seksueel Geweld tegen Kinderen, Rutgers, Amnesty International en het Centrum voor Seksueel Geweld een gezamenlijke oproep hebben gedaan voor het bewerkstelligen van één entree voor kindermisbruik en seksueel geweld dat ook functioneert als eerste hulp bij seksueel geweld;<br /><br />constaterende dat ook bij de politie en het OM de wens leeft om de slachtoffers van zedenzaken naar één landelijk punt te kunnen doorverwijzen; </div><div><br /></div><div>van mening dat de hulp aan slachtoffers van seksueel geweld nu te gefragmenteerd is en dat de overheid een verantwoordelijkheid heeft om deze slachtoffers betere hulp te bieden; </div><div><br /></div><div>verzoekt de regering te onderzoeken wat nodig is om dit idee te realiseren, welke partijen bereid zijn hieraan mee te werken en welke implicaties dit zou hebben voor de bestaande organisaties waar slachtoffers van seksueel geweld nu terechtkunnen, </div><div><br /></div><div>en de Kamer daarover in het voorjaar van 2022 te informeren, </div><div><br /></div><div>en gaat over tot de orde van de dag. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Deze motie is voorgesteld door de leden Van der Werf, Michon-Derkzen, Van Nispen, Westerveld en Helder. </div><div><br /></div><div>Zij krijgt nr. 230 (31015). </div><div><br /></div><div>Dank voor uw inbreng. De motie moet u even aan de griffier geven. De bode maakt even het katheder schoon en dan is het woord aan de heer Van Nispen, die namens de Socialistische Partij zal spreken. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Nispen (SP): </div><div>Dank u wel, voorzitter. Kindermisbruik is walgelijk en moet daadkrachtig worden aangepakt. Toen dit tweeminutendebat werd aangevraagd, was ik van plan een motie in te dienen over het budget van het Expertisebureau Online Kindermisbruik, maar dat is inmiddels geregeld. Dat is echt heel erg mooi, want hier zijn wij jaren mee bezig geweest. </div><div><br /></div><div>Ook goed nieuws is dat de nieuwe zedenwet niet op de lange baan wordt geschoven. Hier is budget voor gevonden. Dat is mooi. Daar hebben wij vanuit de Kamer ook op aangedrongen. Ik heb wel nog een vraag over de planning: hoe snel kan dit nou gaan? Dit kan toch niet tot 2024 duren, hoop ik. </div><div><br /></div><div>Dan nog één opmerking over georganiseerd sadistisch kindermisbruik. Samen met de PvdA en GroenLinks heeft de SP eerder een motie ingediend om aard en omvang te onderzoeken, onafhankelijk, en daarbij ervaringen van overlevers en hun therapeuten te betrekken. Die motie staat gewoon als een huis. Maar het is wel zo dat slachtoffers en een aantal overlevers er bezorgd over zijn: gaat dit wel allemaal goed? Zij hebben er niet allemaal vertrouwen in. Waarom is het bijvoorbeeld nodig dat het onderzoek eerst naar de minister gaat? Waarom kan dat niet rechtstreeks naar de Kamer? Is de minister in ieder geval bereid om toe te zeggen dat er geen letter zal worden veranderd aan dat onderzoek? Toch ben ik er geen voorstander van om dit onderzoek nu al te wantrouwen of per motie een nieuw onderzoek te eisen. Ik denk niet dat dat de voortgang ten goede komt. Maar wat kan de minister doen om het wantrouwen weg te nemen en de onafhankelijkheid van het onderzoek te waarborgen? </div><div><br /></div><div>Ik heb nog één motie, voorzitter. <br /><br />Motie </div><div><br /></div><div>De Kamer, </div><div><br /></div><div>gehoord de beraadslaging, </div><div><br /></div><div>overwegende dat het onverteerbaar is dat slachtoffers van zedenzaken op dit moment vaak maanden, soms jaren, moeten wachten op behandeling van hun zaak; </div><div><br /></div><div>van mening dat de overheid ervoor moet zorgen dat slachtoffers, zeker van zulke ingrijpende misdrijven, sneller en beter geholpen worden en daders sneller berecht worden; </div><div><br /></div><div>verzoekt de regering onmiddellijk werk te maken van het verminderen van de doorlooptijden in zedenzaken, specifiek in zaken omtrent aanranding, ontucht met minderjarigen en verkrachting, </div><div><br /></div><div>en gaat over tot de orde van de dag. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Deze motie is voorgesteld door de leden Van Nispen, Kuik, Bikker en Westerveld. </div><div><br /></div><div>Zij krijgt nr. 231 (31015). </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Nispen (SP): </div><div>Ik dien dus deze motie in over het verkorten van de doorlooptijden, want er is nu eindelijk extra budget. Ik weet ook dat er vanuit de Kamer heel lang op is aangedrongen. Maar het allerbelangrijkste wat mensen nodig hebben als zij zoiets afschuwelijks meemaken, is dat hun zaak niet jarenlang op de stapel komt te liggen. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Hartelijk dank voor uw inbreng. De volgende spreker van de zijde van de Kamer is mevrouw Westerveld namens GroenLinks. Gaat uw gang. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Westerveld (GroenLinks): </div><div>Voorzitter. Ik wil ook beginnen met een vraag over de commissie die onderzoek gaat doen naar georganiseerd sadistisch misbruik. Wij krijgen dezelfde signalen; therapeuten, maar ook slachtoffers, maken zich zorgen over de onafhankelijkheid van deze commissie. Ik sluit mij aan bij de vragen van de heer Van Nispen. En ik wil ook aan de minister vragen wat hij kan doen om er echt voor te zorgen dat het vertrouwen in deze commissie wordt hersteld. Kan hij daar bijvoorbeeld ook nog eens over in gesprek gaan met de betrokkenen? </div><div><br /></div><div>Dan heb ik nog een vraag over proana-sites en zelfmoordfora. Dat zijn plekken waar mensen, die vaak ook nog minderjarig zijn, worden aangezet tot zelfdestructief gedrag. Je zult maar ouder zijn van bijvoorbeeld een kind dat al onzeker is en problemen heeft, en dat dan op dit soort websites ook nog eens wordt aangemoedigd om zichzelf uit te hongeren en daar allerlei tips kan vinden. Of mensen worden zelfs aangemoedigd om te komen tot zelfdoding. Dat heeft natuurlijk ongelofelijk nare gevolgen. Wij vinden ook dat de overheid niet die omtrekkende beweging moet maken in deze tijd, waarin zich steeds meer online afspeelt. Wij moeten kijken wat wíj kunnen doen om te voorkomen dat dit gaat gebeuren. Ik heb een motie die daarover gaat. </div><div><br /></div><div>Motie </div><div><br /></div><div>De Kamer, </div><div><br /></div><div>gehoord de beraadslaging, </div><div><br /></div><div>overwegende dat proanawebsites en zelfmoordfora op dit moment doorgaans buiten de grenzen van bestaande wettelijke delictsomschrijvingen vallen en dat daarmee het bewust schaden van de lichamelijke en geestelijke gezondheid van kwetsbare jongeren en jongvolwassenen onbestraft blijft; </div><div><br /></div><div>verzoekt de regering te voorzien in aanpassing(en) van het Wetboek van Strafrecht om gedragingen strafbaar te stellen die zich welbewust richten op het beschadigen van de lichamelijke en geestelijke gezondheid van kwetsbare jongeren en jongvolwassenen, </div><div><br /></div><div>en de Kamer hierover te informeren, </div><div><br /></div><div>en gaat over tot de orde van de dag. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Deze motie is voorgesteld door de leden Westerveld en Kuiken. </div><div><br /></div><div>Zij krijgt nr. 232 (31015). </div><div><br /></div><div>Dank voor uw inbreng, mevrouw Westerveld. De volgende spreker van de zijde van de Kamer is mevrouw Michon- Derkzen. Zij spreekt namens de Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Michon-Derkzen (VVD): </div><div>Voorzitter, dank u wel. Ik had in het tweeminutendebat de minister willen vragen om alles op alles te zetten om naar voldoende middelen te zoeken om die zeer belangrijke wet over seksuele misdrijven zo snel mogelijk voort te zetten. Een week nadat wij met elkaar hebben gesproken, is de motie-Hermans echter ingediend en een week erna aangenomen, waarmee we de gelden hebben gevonden. Dit is een heel belangrijk punt. Ik heb me daar hard voor gemaakt, omdat ik het ongelofelijk belangrijk vind dat we met deze wet zo spoedig mogelijk verdergaan. We moeten straatintimidatie nu strafbaar gaan stellen en we moeten ook aan modernisering van het delict verkrachting gaan werken. Ik wil, net als voorgaande sprekers, de minister vragen om met spoed deze wet naar de Kamer te brengen en te kijken of er in dat traject nog versnelling mogelijk is. Het geld is er nu, dus hebben we geen enkele reden meer om hier niet snel met elkaar over in debat te gaan. </div><div><br /></div><div>Daarnaast wil ik de minister vragen naar het wetsvoorstel over het strafbaar stellen van het bezit van pedohandboeken. In het commissiedebat kwamen we daar kort over te spreken. Dat is de basis van een motie die mijn collega Van Wijngaarden in februari 2020 heeft ingediend. Ook daar wachten we nog op het wetsvoorstel. <br /><br />Mijn fractie heeft de motie van mevrouw Van der Werf van D66 over het loket gesteund en zal zo ook de motie van mevrouw Kuik van het CDA steunen. Voorzitter, tot zover. Dank u wel. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Hartelijk dank voor uw inbreng. De volgende spreker van de zijde van de Kamer zal mevrouw Kuik zijn. Zij spreekt namens het Christen-Democratisch Appèl. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Kuik (CDA): </div><div>Voorzitter, dank. Deze minister is heel stellig: seks tegen de wil is verkrachting. Hij heeft er zijn speerpunt van gemaakt om de huidige zedenwetgeving te moderniseren. En ja, dan heb je een demissionaire status en kun je niet zomaar even zeggen "we regelen dat geld". Daar heb je de Kamer voor nodig. Ik ben blij dat we dat als Kamer samen hebben geregeld. Ik benieuwd wanneer we deze wet hier kunnen gaan behandelen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Voorzitter. Er zijn mannen, zogenaamde proana-coaches, die meisjes met eetstoornissen verder de vernieling in helpen door nog meer af te vallen, met als doel naaktbeelden te verkrijgen. Een enkele keer leidt dit ook nog eens tot fysiek seksueel misbruik. Dit zijn vanwege het ziektebeeld extra kwetsbare jongeren. Deze mannen lijken hier straffeloos mee weg te komen. Een online opsporingsstrategie om deze meiden te beschermen tegen deze mannen is nodig. Mijn collega van de ChristenUnie heeft dit al eerder aangekaart. Ik dien daarom de volgende motie in. </div><div><br /></div><div>Motie </div><div><br /></div><div>De Kamer, </div><div><br /></div><div>gehoord de beraadslaging, </div><div><br /></div><div>overwegende dat de motie-Van der Graaf c.s., welke vraagt om een online opsporingsstrategie te ontwikkelen, nog altijd niet is uitgevoerd; </div><div><br /></div><div>constaterende dat de minister wederom de intentie heeft uitgesproken dat de opsporing aangescherpt dient te worden zonder vooralsnog aan te geven op welke wijze of op welke termijn dit haalbaar is; </div><div><br /></div><div>constaterende dat de problematiek van kwetsbare minderjarigen die online het slachtoffer kunnen worden van misbruik en/of uitbuiting nog altijd even urgent is; </div><div><br /></div><div>verzoekt de regering prioriteit te geven aan het ontwikkelen van een online opsporingsstrategie, </div><div><br /></div><div>aan te geven hoe dit zich verhoudt tot de beschikbare capaciteit, </div><div><br /></div><div>en de Kamer hierover binnen drie maanden te informeren, </div><div><br /></div><div>en gaat over tot de orde van de dag. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Deze motie is voorgesteld door de leden Kuik, Bikker, Van Nispen en Michon-Derkzen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Zij krijgt nr. 233 (31015). <br /><br />Mevrouw Kuik (CDA): </div><div>Voorzitter. Tot slot sluit ik me aan bij de punten die gemaakt zijn door de heer Van Nispen over het onderzoek naar ritueel sadistisch misbruik waar Argos mee kwam en waar je nekharen van overeind gaan staan. Een motie daarover is met brede steun aangenomen. Het is van belang dat dit onderzoek naar de Kamer komt en dat misverstanden over de onafhankelijkheid daarvan worden weggenomen. Dank. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Hartelijk dank voor uw inbreng. Tot slot zal de heer Van Meijeren als laatste spreker van de Kamer het woord voeren namens Forum voor Democratie. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>Dank u wel, meneer de voorzitter. Er ligt inmiddels zo veel bewijs op tafel waaruit blijkt dat sadistisch ritueel kindermisbruik in het algemeen of satanisch ritueel kindermisbruik in het bijzonder ook in Nederland voorkomt, dat daar gelukkig geen twijfel meer over bestaat. Maar over de precieze aard en omvang hiervan bestaat nog wel veel onduidelijkheid. Daarom is op verzoek van de Tweede Kamer een onderzoek ingesteld naar dit gruwelijke fenomeen. De wijze waarop dit onderzoek nu plaatsvindt, deugt echter van geen kant. Het vindt namelijk plaats onder de absolute controle van het ministerie van Justitie, terwijl juist ook ambtenaren van dat ministerie door vele slachtoffers beschuldigd worden. Als de huidige onderzoekscommissie het onderzoek gaat uitvoeren, is dat al op voorhand gedoemd te mislukken. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Kuik (CDA): </div><div>Op internet heb je bij filmpjes vaak een disclaimer, zo van: pas op, hier wordt niet helemaal de waarheid neergezet. Die disclaimer hebben wij hier in de Kamer niet, maar het is ook aan ons om die te geven. Ik wil wel aangeven dat de heer Van Meijeren nu iets stelt wat hij niet onderbouwt. Er zijn wetenschappers die een onderzoek gaan uitvoeren. Ik vind het nogal grote woorden om te zeggen dat dit niet onafhankelijk is. Dan moet de heer Van Meijeren ook met bewijzen komen. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>Het belangrijkste argument heb ik zojuist al genoemd: het onderzoek vindt plaats onder de absolute controle van het ministerie van Justitie. De minister van Justitie heeft een onderzoekscommissie ingesteld en de voorzitter en alle overige leden daarvan benoemd. De slachtoffers geven herhaaldelijk aan dat juist ook hooggeplaatste ambtenaren van het ministerie van Justitie betrokken zouden zijn bij dit fenomeen. Om die reden is het onderzoek op voorhand al niet onafhankelijk. Daar is geen speld tussen te krijgen. Zolang dit onderzoek plaatsvindt onder toeziend oog en onder absolute controle van het ministerie van Justitie, is het níét onafhankelijk. Nog één laatste opmerking: dit is niet alleen mijn analyse; de hele Kamer, onder wie ook mevrouw Kuik, heeft een brandbrief ontvangen van belangenbehartigers van de slachtoffers, waaronder een groep van twintig ggz-behandelaren die allemaal om precies deze reden aangeven dat dit onderzoek hoe dan ook onafhankelijk van het ministerie van Justitie moet plaatsvinden. Zolang de minister van Justitie controle uitoefent op de wijze waarop dat onderzoek plaatsvindt, is het per definitie níét onafhankelijk. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Kuik (CDA): </div><div>Volgens mij klopt dat niet. Als Kamer hebben we een motie ingediend waarin we het kabinet de opdracht hebben gegeven om een commissie in te stellen die onafhankelijk onderzoek gaat doen. Daar zitten wetenschappers in. Die kunnen onafhankelijk hun werk doen, dus ik wil ook aan de slachtoffers heel duidelijk maken dat zij hier hun verhaal kwijt kunnen en dat dit het moment is om dit zo goed mogelijk in beeld te krijgen en te kijken waar we hen kunnen helpen. Ik vind het belangrijk om dat wel hier opgemerkt te hebben omdat het beeld ontstaat, ook richting de slachtoffers, alsof dit niet voor hen zou zijn. Maar dat is wel zo. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>Het zijn juist de slachtoffers die een noodkreet hebben geuit. De slachtoffers geven aan: wij kunnen niet vrijuit spreken voor deze commissie. Mevrouw Kuik kan wel zeggen dat deze commissie onafhankelijk is, maar de vraag of zo'n onderzoek enig nut heeft, valt of staat niet met de vraag wat mevrouw Kuik daarvan vindt, maar of de slachtoffers vrijuit durven te spreken voor die commissie. Daar gaat het hier om. De slachtoffers geven aan niet vrijuit te kunnen spreken voor deze commissie. Voor de slachtoffers neem ik het hier op. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>De heer Van Meijeren vervolgt zijn betoog. </div><div><br /></div><div>(Applaus op de publieke tribune) </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Ik moet het publiek er echt aan herinneren dat de afspraak in dit huis is dat u geen blijk mag geven van instemming of van het tegendeel daarvan. Dat heb ik nu gezegd. Ik geef de heer Van Meijeren het woord om zijn betoog te vervolgen. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>Voorzitter. Daarom de volgende motie. </div><div><br /></div><div>Motie De Kamer, </div><div><br /></div><div>gehoord de beraadslaging, </div><div><br /></div><div>constaterende dat de regering middels een motie is verzocht een onafhankelijk onderzoek te laten uitvoeren naar de aard en omvang van georganiseerd sadistisch misbruik van kinderen; </div><div><br /></div><div>constaterende dat ter uitvoering van deze motie de minister van Justitie een onderzoekscommissie heeft ingesteld en alle leden daarvan heeft benoemd; <br /><br />constaterende dat uitgerekend ook hooggeplaatste ambtenaren van het ministerie van Justitie van dit misbruik beschuldigd worden; </div><div><br /></div><div>constaterende dat een groep belangenbehartigers van slachtoffers, waaronder twintig ggz-behandelaren, in een brandbrief de noodklok heeft geluid over het gebrek aan onafhankelijkheid van deze commissie; </div><div><br /></div><div>overwegende dat het nut van een onderzoek naar dergelijk misbruik valt of staat bij het vertrouwen dat slachtoffers in de commissie hebben, zodat zij veilig en vrijuit kunnen spreken, ook over mogelijk misbruik door hooggeplaatste ambtenaren; </div><div><br /></div><div>roept de regering op om de huidige commissie te ontbinden en een nieuwe commissie in het leven te roepen, met inachtneming van de in de brandbrief geschetste randvoorwaarden, </div><div><br /></div><div>en gaat over tot de orde van de dag. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Deze motie is voorgesteld door het lid Van Meijeren. </div><div><br /></div><div>Zij krijgt nr. 234 (31015). </div><div><br /></div><div>Dank voor uw inbreng. Wilt u uw motie aan de griffier geven, meneer Van Meijeren? </div><div><br /></div><div>De minister heeft aangegeven direct door te kunnen gaan met de beantwoording van de vragen en het geven van een oordeel over de ingediende moties. Ik geef de minister van Justitie en Veiligheid het woord. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Voorzitter. Ik begin met een ordepunt, voordat ik op iets van uw Kamer inga. Door de heer Van Meijeren is gezegd dat hogere ambtenaren van mijn ministerie worden beschuldigd van betrokkenheid bij ernstige zedenmisdrijven. Ik wil echt voor het eind van dit halfuur naam, paard en weet ik veel hoe die dingen heten, en ik wil dat ook gesubstantieerd hebben. Want ik moet echt zeggen dat er grenzen zijn. Ik heb het een paar keer moeten opnemen voor ambtenaren van mij die werkelijk niets kwaads hadden gedaan en in dit gebouw buitengewoon onaardige dingen naar hun hoofd geslingerd kregen. Dít accepteer ik niet. Dat zeg ik tegen de hele Kamer. Ik accepteer het gewoon echt niet. Dus ik weet niet hoe we dat gaan oplossen, want ik geloof dat u straks nog een debat met mij heeft. Ik zie dat iedereen rustig blijft zitten, maar ik vind dit in een rechtsstaat schunnig! </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Dit is een punt van orde. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Ja, dit is een punt van orde. Als ik de enige ben die dat vind, dan hoor ik het wel. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Dit gaat niet goed. Ik hoor veel geluid vanuit de zaal. Ik gun het de minister om op te komen voor zijn ambtenaren, maar ik denk niet dat het verstandig is om daar de hele Kamer op aan te spreken. Een van de sprekers heeft hier iets over gezegd. Die geef ik nu de gelegenheid om hierop te reageren. Maar we gaan hier niet een heel debat voeren waarin de regering de Kamer ter verantwoording roept, want zo zijn de verhoudingen niet. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Nee, maar … </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>De heer Van Meijeren heeft het woord. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>Zoals ik aangaf, spreek ik de zorgen uit zoals die in een uitvoerige brandbrief zijn geschetst door de belangenbehartigers van slachtoffers. Die brandbrief heeft de minister ook ontvangen. Hij heeft daar tot op de dag van vandaag nog niet op gereageerd. Dus in plaats van dat de minister nu netjes de zorgen van deze slachtoffers serieus gaat nemen, zegt hij: dan wil ik ook naam en toenaam horen. Dat is volstrekt misplaatst. Sterker nog, wanneer ik namen van ambtenaren noem, dan is het diezelfde minister die aangeeft dat ik hier geen namen van ambtenaren moet noemen. Ik zeg helemaal niet dat ik precies weet welke ambtenaren wat gedaan hebben. Ze worden ervan beschuldigd. Dát is een vaststaand feit. De aard en omvang moet onderzocht worden en dat moet onafhankelijk van het ministerie van Justitie gebeuren, want anders heeft dat onderzoek geen zin. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Ik roep uw Kamer niet ter verantwoording. Dat kan ik helemaal niet. Maar ik zeg gewoon in alle eerlijkheid, en ik maak daar een ordepunt van: als je zo'n ernstige beschuldiging doet in een debat, dan zal je die echt moeten substantiëren. Ik wilde serieus ingaan op een aantal punten die over dit onderwerp naar voren zijn gebracht, maar ik vind het heel bezwaarlijk als het met zo'n ongefundeerde beschuldiging begint. Maar goed, als we daar niet verder in komen, zal ik nu op die dingen ingaan. Ik ga me wel afvragen of het zinnig is om hier zo een debat over te voeren. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>Als ik zou aangeven dat ik de exacte namen van de desbetreffende ambtenaren op dit moment met absolute zekerheid kan noemen, zou ik natuurlijk ook niet gaan vragen om een onderzoek. Ik vraag juist om een onderzoek omdat ten aanzien van dit fenomeen de onderste steen boven moet komen. Laat ik dit punt afsluiten met een tegenvraag. Waarom reageert de minister richting de slachtoffers niet op de brandbrief die hij heeft ontvangen? </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Ik ga in op de vragen die door uw leden zijn gesteld en de moties die zijn ingediend. Dan begin ik met de motie op stuk nr. 230. Dat is de motie van mevrouw Van der Werf. Ik zou willen voorstellen dat die motie van mevrouw Van der Werf door de minister voor Rechtsbescherming en de staatssecretaris van VWS wordt geapprecieerd in een brief, want dat gaat buiten mijn beleidsterrein. Dat is de motie over het centraliseren van slachtofferopvang et cetera. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Van der Werf (D66): </div><div>Dat begrijp ik, want als het niet op het beleidsterrein van deze minister ligt, is het natuurlijk lastig om daar nu een oordeel over te kunnen vellen. Ook gezien de urgentie van de oproep zou ik hem wel willen vragen om daar niet weken mee te wachten, want ik zou de motie eigenlijk graag dins- dag in stemming willen laten brengen. Ik zou het dus heel erg waarderen als er enige haast gemaakt kan worden met dat briefje. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Ja. Nou, ik weet niet eens of er sprake is van haast, want dat is nog zes dagen. Maar namens twee mensen die hier niet aanwezig zijn, kan ik toezeggen dat we dat voor dinsdag gaan doen. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Voor de goede orde meld ik dat ik, als dat niet lukt, de woorden van de minister zo interpreteer dat de motie wordt ontraden. Maar we gaan ervan uit dat die brief er op tijd is. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Nee. Die brief is op tijd, maar mocht het zo zijn dat beide collega's volledig in het ongerede raken tot en met dinsdag, dan zou ik willen voorstellen dat de motie wordt aangehouden. Maar die brief gaat er echt komen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Van der Werf (D66): </div><div>Ik heb daar alle vertrouwen in. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Prima. De volgende motie. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>De motie op stuk nr. 231, over het verminderen van de doorlooptijden in zedenzaken, is ondersteuning van beleid. Wat mij betreft kwalificeert die motie van de heer Van Nispen c.s. dan als oordeel Kamer. </div><div><br /></div><div>Nu de motie op stuk nr. 232 van mevrouw Westerveld. Meteen ook in combinatie met de motie op stuk nr. 233 zou ik willen vragen of ik de motie zo mag opvatten dat de regering wordt verzocht om onderzoek te doen naar de strafbaarstelling van die gedragingen. Ik kan ook meteen zeggen dat we dan binnen een termijn van drie maanden op dat onderzoek zullen terugkomen. Ik ga nu even motie hoppen naar de motie op stuk nr. 233, want in die motie van mevrouw Kuik over het prioriteit geven aan het ontwikkelen van een online opsporingsstrategie, vraagt zij om de Kamer binnen drie maanden te informeren. Nou, die drie maanden is meteen ook aan mevrouw Westerveld gegeven, dus die motie van mevrouw Kuik wil ik oordeel Kamer laten. En alleen aan mevrouw Westerveld vraag ik of zij die motie zo kan aanpassen: eerst onderzoek doen naar het strafbaar stellen van die gedragingen en wat daarbij mogelijk is, en dat binnen drie maanden. </div><div><br />Mevrouw Westerveld (GroenLinks): </div><div>Dat lijkt me op zich prima. De reden waarom wij deze motie op deze manier hebben geformuleerd, is dat de minister in het debat zelf zei dat dit bij de Kamer ligt, dat we op dit moment kunnen kijken hoe we hiermee om kunnen gaan, omdat veel van de zaken die op proana-websites staan, buiten de grenzen van bestaande wettelijke delictsomschrijvingen vallen. Dus ik vatte die woorden op als: als uw Kamer dat wil, dan kunnen wij de wet daarop aanpassen. Vandaar dat wij de motie op deze manier hebben opgeschreven. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Misschien nog een korte reactie van de minister, en dan zegt mevrouw Westerveld of zij de motie wil aanhouden. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Zij mag haar ook aanhouden. Maar nee, aanpassen was mijn pleidooi, want dan kunnen we dat doen met die onlinestrategie, en dan heb ik ook een weloverwogen verhaal voor hoe je dat zou moeten doen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Westerveld (GroenLinks): </div><div>Wij gaan de motie aanpassen, voorzitter. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Prima. Dan krijgt deze oordeel Kamer. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Ja, voorzitter, een voorstel. Dan heb ik een aantal vragen van de leden Van Nispen en Michon — dacht ik, ik kijk even wie allemaal — over het onderzoek naar ritueel misbruik. Uw Kamer heeft bij motie aan het kabinet gevraagd daar een commissie voor in te stellen. En ja, dan zullen wij die commissie formeel moeten instellen. Wie er dan verder in die commissie zit, is dan alleen een handtekening, maar eigenlijk geen inhoudelijke beoordeling van mij, aannemende dat dat gewoon de juiste deskundigen zijn. Ik zou willen voorstellen dat deze commissie een kennismakingsgesprek krijgt met uw vaste commissie. Dan kunt u zelf toetsen wat u daarvan vindt. Ik denk dat dat echt de enige manier is om dat te doen, want een nieuwe opdracht betekent weer een commissie die formeel door het kabinet wordt benoemd; want dat vraagt u het kabinet. En ik heb daar verder volledig afstand op, voorzitter, eerlijk gezegd. Dus ik denk dat die onafhankelijkheid echt gewaarborgd is, maar uw Kamer mag van mij die gelegenheid aangrijpen om gewoon met ze te spreken in het kader van de briefing. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Nispen (SP): </div><div>Even ter voorkoming van misverstanden: ik heb niet om een nieuwe commissie gevraagd. Ik heb deze vraag gesteld, geconstateerd ook dat er mensen zijn die twijfelen aan de onafhankelijkheid van deze commissie. Die signalen hebben ons bereikt. Mijn vraag was: wat gaat de minister doen om die twijfels weg te nemen? En heel concreet heb ik de minister gevraagd: een van de redenen waarom ze dit wantrouwen, is dat het onderzoek eerst naar de minister gaat. Ik heb gevraagd: kan het onderzoek dan ineens naar de Kamer worden gestuurd? Want wat zou daar het pro-bleem aan zijn? En mag ik er dan in ieder geval — dat heb ik ook gevraagd — van uitgaan dat de minister kan garanderen dat er dan geen letter aan het onderzoek zal worden veranderd onder de invloed van het ministerie? </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Dat laatste gebeurt nooit. Ik geloof dat ik nu toch de dingen wat scherper ga zeggen. We weten dat. Het kan niet dat als zo'n onderzoek afkomt, de minister dan nog eens zegt: ik ga daar hele stukken uit wegstrepen. Dat gebeurt niet. Dat gaat nu ook niet gebeuren. In het kader van uw vraag zoals u die net stelde, ben ik in ieder geval bereid om door te geven — dat is een uitnodiging van uw Kamer — dat uw Kamer het gesprek met ze aan wil gaan. Dan kunt u het zelf toetsen. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Nispen (SP): </div><div>Het gaat niet om mij. Het gaat om de overlevers. Het gaat om de slachtoffers. Daarvoor stel ik deze vraag. Mijn vraag aan de minister was als volgt. Wij hebben inderdaad de regering verzocht om een onafhankelijke commissie in het leven te roepen. Kan de regering, kan de minister, als opdrachtgever van dat onafhankelijke onderzoek waar hij zich niet inhoudelijk mee gaat bemoeien, aan de commissie overbrengen dat de Kamer het op prijs stelt om rechtstreeks geïnformeerd te worden? </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>De commissie, die formeel wordt ingesteld, zal dat rapport aan de minister uitbrengen. Daar wordt geen letter aan veranderd. Daar gaat het u om. Daar gaat het uw Kamer om. Dat lijkt me ook logisch. Dat kan uw Kamer ook zelf controleren. Dat is dus een gegeven. Verder zei de heer Van Nispen: er wordt getwijfeld aan de onafhankelijkheid. Het is een opdracht van uw Kamer aan het kabinet geweest. Wij hebben die commissie geregeld. Als uw Kamer zegt "wat kunt u doen om die onafhankelijkheid nog eens even goed te toetsen?", zeg ik dat het mij het meest gewezen lijkt om die commissie nu gewoon rechtstreeks met de vaste Kamercommissie te laten kennismaken. Dan kan de Kamer dat toetsen. En als u dat niet wil, ja ... </div><div><br /></div><div>Mevrouw Westerveld (GroenLinks): </div><div>Een korte opmerking. Zaken die voor de minister vanzelfsprekend zijn, bijvoorbeeld hoe zo'n rapport tot stand komt en dat het ministerie daar geen letter in verandert, hoeven niet per se vanzelfsprekend te zijn voor mensen in dit land, waaronder de slachtoffers. Dat is hier natuurlijk het punt. Dat was ook onze vraag. Zou u nou, ook bij de slachtoffers, een aantal misverstanden weg kunnen nemen en misschien met hen in gesprek kunnen gaan, omdat er kennelijk beelden heersen over die commissie, over dat rapport? Die kunnen voor de minister heel vanzelfsprekend zijn, maar dat betekent niet dat hoe wij hier zaken doen, ook voor de rest van Nederland vanzelfsprekend is. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Maar dat is nou net zo lastig. De Kamer vraagt mij bij motie om een onafhankelijke commissie in te stellen. Dat heb ik gedaan. Ik heb mij laten vertellen dat dit de deskundigen zijn die in de commissie moeten zitten. Verder waak ik ervoor om ook maar in de buurt te komen, omdat ik nou juist wil zorgen dat het onafhankelijk is en het kennelijk heel gevoelig ligt. Laat ik dat echt heel duidelijk zeggen. Ik zeg nu voor de laatste keer dat het mij het beste lijkt dat uw Kamer het gesprek aangaat met de leden van de commissie, zodat u als Kamer zelf kunt toetsen of u vindt dat dat een goede commissie is. Ik moet mij daar verder aan geen enkele kant in gaan mengen. Ik wil dat niet. Daar moet ik aan alle kanten buiten blijven. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Helder. Voordat ik de heer Van Meijeren ... Niet in de zaal tegen elkaar praten, maar via de microfoon. Voordat ik de heer Van Meijeren het woord geef, wil ik graag dat u nog een oordeel geeft over zijn motie, de laatste motie. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: Welke motie? </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Dat is de motie op stuk nr. 234 van de heer Van Meijeren over dat de commissie moet worden ontbonden. Daar heeft u nog geen oordeel over gegeven. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Daar was ik ook nog niet aan toe, eerlijk gezegd. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Nee, maar ik vraag u om dat nu te doen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Mag ik eerst de andere vragen die er ook nog liggen, beantwoorden? </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Ja. Gaat het over dit punt, meneer Van Meijeren? Dan geef ik toch nog de heer Van Meijeren het woord op dit punt. Graag niet dezelfde vraag stellen die al vier keer gesteld is. Meneer Van Meijeren. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>De minister geeft aan dat hij zich verre wil houden van deze commissie om de schijn van afhankelijkheid te voorkomen. De motie verzoekt de regering om een onderzoek in te stellen. Van de 23 bewindspersonen die deel uitmaken van de regering, is het de minister van Justitie die een commissie instelt, de voorzitter benoemt, de overige leden benoemt en de bevoegdheid heeft om de leden te schorsen en te ontslaan. De minister geeft vervolgens aan dat hij alleen zijn handtekening zet en er inhoudelijk niet eens naar kijkt. Dus daarmee zegt de minister ofwel dat hij op een totaal onbehoorlijke manier invulling geeft aan zijn bevoegdheden, door maar gewoon een handtekening te zetten en verantwoordelijkheid te nemen voor iets waar hij zelf dus kennelijk niet eens bij betrokken is, ofwel dat hij er toch heel veel bezwaar tegen heeft om akkoord te gaan met de enige redelijke vereiste uit al die randvoorwaarden in die brandbrief. De meest redelijke is namelijk: zorg nou ieder geval dat die commissie onafhankelijk is van Justitie. Waarom is dat nou te veel gevraagd? </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Deze commissie is onafhankelijk van Justitie. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>De commissie is ingesteld door de minister van Justitie en is daarmee totaal niet onafhankelijk van Justitie. Ik krijg ook geen antwoord op mijn vraag: waarom heeft de minister er zo veel bezwaar tegen als deze commissie los zou staan van het ministerie van Justitie? Het is toch zo dat de minister die leden heeft benoemd? Het is toch zo dat de minister een directe bevoegdheid heeft om de voorzitter en de leden, wanneer zij zich anders opstellen dan hoe de minister het wenst, te schorsen of te ontslaan? Die bevoegdheden heeft de minister. Hij doet alsof hij alleen maar een handtekeningetje zet en er verder geen gebruik van maakt, maar hij weigert … Als dat zo zou zijn, zou het volstrekt logisch zijn als hij er ook geen bezwaar tegen zou hebben dat het onderzoek onafhankelijk van Justitie plaatsvindt. Toch moet dat koste wat kost onder zijn volledige controle plaatsvinden. Dat wekt ongelofelijk veel wantrouwen bij de slachtoffers, waar ik alle begrip voor heb. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Dit wordt wel heel erg lastig, want ik heb aan het begin een ordepunt gemaakt. In deze motie staat: constaterende dat uitgerekend ook hooggeplaatste ambtenaren — meervoud — van het ministerie van Justitie van dit misbruik beschul- digd worden. Als je in een fatsoenlijke rechtsstaat dat soort ernstige beschuldigingen doet, zeker als je dat in een Kamermotie doet, dan moet je dat substantiëren, vind ik. Daarmee is die motie voor mij al meteen gediskwalificeerd. Los daarvan, het verzoek … De motie destijds is van uw Kamer geweest. Daar heb ik invulling aan gegeven door ervoor te zorgen dat die commissie er komt. Uw Kamer mag van mij volledig toetsen of zij vindt dat die commissie onafhankelijk is. Ik blijf er volledig bij uit de buurt. Ongeacht wie de handtekening zet … De theorie die ik hier verkondigd hoor worden, is dat, als wij als kabinet aan uw opdracht in de motie voldoen door een onafhankelijke commissie te stellen, die commissie niet meer onafhankelijk is als wij als kabinet daar een handtekening onder zetten, ongeacht welke minister dat dan doet. Want u weet: het kabinet spreekt met één mond. Dus, tja. Ik heb daarmee de motie ook geapprecieerd. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: Ja, die krijgt oordeel: ontraden. De heer Van Meijeren, tot slot. </div><div><br /></div><div>De heer Van Meijeren (FVD): </div><div>De minister vervalt enorm in herhaling. Dat punt in de motie waar hij bezwaar tegen heeft, is een feit. Het is een feit dat hooggeplaatste ambtenaren van het ministerie van Justitie beschuldigd worden. Daar kan niemand omheen, los van de vraag wie en wat daar precies bij betrokken zijn. De minister weigert antwoord te geven op de heel redelijke vraag waarom hij koste wat het kost wil dat deze commissie onder Justitie plaatsvindt. Hij zegt dat het kabinet met één mond spreekt, maar het is niet zo dat de regering die commissie heeft ingesteld. Het is niet zo dat de regering de voorzitter en de leden kan benoemen en ontslaan. Nee, dat ligt allemaal bij de minister van Justitie, en bij niemand anders. Deze minister kan zelfstandig op ieder moment dat het hem goeddunkt besluiten om de voorzitter en de commissieleden te benoemen, te ontslaan, et cetera. Hij verschuilt zich nu achter de regering en zegt dat hij alleen maar een handtekening zet. Dat klinkt heel leuk, maar juridisch gezien is het feitelijk onjuist. </div><div><br /></div><div>Minister Grapperhaus: </div><div>Juridisch gezien wordt er nu echt iets verkocht waar ik alleen maar heel negatieve kwalificaties over heb qua zinnigheidsgehalte. Het is heel simpel: dit is een commissie die is ingesteld door het kabinet. Dus als er wordt gezegd dat die commissie … Uw Kamer gaat wat mij betreft in gesprek met die commissie en mag het wat mij betreft zelf toetsen, maar het zou dan in theorie een nieuwe opdracht aan het kabinet zijn en dan beginnen we dat weer opnieuw. Ik ga er echt van uit dat deze commissie onafhankelijk is. Ik heb daar geen andere dan formele bemoeienis mee en ik bied uw Kamer uitdrukkelijk aan om dat nog eens zelf helemaal te toetsen en er daarna op terug te komen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Ik had nog een paar vraagjes die ik moet beantwoorden. Mevrouw Michon vroeg naar het pedohandboek. Het desbetreffende wetsvoorstel wordt nog dit najaar, dus voor 21 december 2021, ingediend. Wat betreft dat zedenwetsvoorstel wil ik opmerken dat ik het geweldig vind dat we met een zeer overweldigende steun in de Kamer eigenlijk hebben gezegd dat we zo met elkaar verder moeten, ook in de vorm die het nu heeft. Het is ook echt heel goed dat u als Kamer ervoor heeft gezorgd dat we het geld ervoor hebben, want ik denk dat dit maatschappelijk een heel erg belangrijk wetsvoorstel is. We werken er keihard aan dat het nog aan het eind van deze kabinetsperiode, maar dan bedoel ik wel … Nu moet ik het goed zeggen: begin december zou het nog naar uw Kamer toe kunnen. Dat zou echt heel mooi zijn. Over het eind van deze kabinetsperiode moet ik eigenlijk niets zeggen, voorzitter. Ik zet alles op alles om dat te realiseren. Ik zal dan zorgen dat, als dat zo ver is, er ook een brief bij gaat over hoe we dat traject samen nog zouden kunnen versnellen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Dat zijn volgens mij de punten, voorzitter. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Dank. De minister heeft de moties van een oordeel voorzien. </div><div><br /></div><div>De beraadslaging wordt gesloten. </div><div><br /></div><div>De voorzitter: </div><div>Daarmee zijn we aan het einde gekomen van dit tweeminutendebat.

Until the terror began to unfold in real time on everyone’s television screen, it was just another beautiful, blue sky day, a perfect day for aviation.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>CNN ANCHOR</strong>: It is 8 AM in Salisbury, North Carolina, 7:00 a.m. in Chicago, 5:00 a.m. in Calaveras County, California, where the news is being made on this Tuesday, September 11th.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>CNN ANCHOR 2</strong>: From CNN…</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>MATT LAUER</strong>: Anyway, that’s all coming up. 8:01 let’s get to the top news stories of the morning.

Little did we know at the time, 9/11 was not a normal day of blue sky aviation. On the contrary, it was one of the busiest days in the history of American aviation, a dense forest of live fly exercises, drills, simulations, fake radar injects and utter confusion. And that was before the attacks even began.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">This is the story of 9/11 that you didn’t watch unfold on your TV that fateful day in 2001. This is the story of the <strong>9/11 War Games</strong>.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>PART ONE – WAR GAMES</strong></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">It only stands to reason that government employees, armed forces and first responders spend a considerable amount of time every year training to respond to crises. A major, catastrophic event may only happen once in a lifetime, but if and when it does occur, the appropriate personnel need to know how to respond.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Not all military exercises and government drills are the same, however. These training events can range all the way from computer simulations and war games—where no personnel are deployed and no physical resources are committed—to live field exercises where real people use real equipment and even real munitions to practice responding to real-world emergencies or simulate real warfare. And as these drills and exercises move from abstract models to real-life exercises, the line between reality and simulation can become blurry.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">What does it mean, then, when a simulation of an emergency takes place at the exact same place and time as that real emergency is happening in real life?</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>PETER POWER</strong>: Today we were running an exercise for a company—bearing in mind I’m now in the private sector—and we sat everybody down in the City. A thousand people involved in the whole organization, but the crisis team. And the most peculiar thing was we based our scenario on the simultaneous attacks on that underground and mainline station so we had to suddenly switch an exercise from fictional to real.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">[. . . ]</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>INTERVIEWER</strong>: Just to get this right, you were actually working today on an exercise that envisioned virtually this scenario?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>POWER</strong>: Almost precisely.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKvkhe3rqtc" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Peter Power 7/7 Terror Rehearsal</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">In the hours after the July 7th, 2005 bombings in London, Peter Power gave a series of interviews to various outlets confirming that he had been running an exercise at the exact time of the attack. That exercise envisioned bombs going off at Liverpool Street, King’s Cross, and Russell Square at exactly the same time as real bombs were going off at those very locations.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><b>PETER POWER</b>: At half past 9 this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><b>HOST</b>: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><b>POWER</b>: Precisely.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGE9FiuM06o" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Peter Power 7/7 Terror Rehearsal</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">What are we to make of this? Is this just a remarkable coincidence? Proof of the the keen insight of advisors like Peter Power in correctly predicting the locations and times of likely terror attacks? Or something altogether different? And, if this was set up by some intelligence agency or someone with advance knowledge of the real attack, what would be the point? Why would they bother to schedule a drill “rehearsing the event” at the same time as the event itself?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Just as there are various kinds of drills, war games and exercises, so, too, are there different ways that such simulations could be used to help facilitate an actual event. A drill could be used to distract security services and hinder responses, for example, thus helping an attack to succeed. Or the exercise could act as an alibi in case the plot is discovered before it can take place. Or, in an even more chilling scenario, a war game or training event could be used to recruit patsies who, believing they are only taking part in an exercise, unwittingly move people or equipment into place for a real attack.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>KIMMY</strong>: Yes!

But with no clear enemy to stockpile against, the arms market’s flat.

In fact, it is a real and openly-acknowledged secret among military planners that such exercises can be used as an operational cover for a real attack. Reflecting on lessons learned from his tenure as Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan, Casper Weinberger <a href="https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB427/docs/15.Interview%20with%20Caspar%20Weingerberger,%201989%20or%201990.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">observed</a> that “the difference between a realistic exercise or maneuver and what could be preparations for an attack, that line is sometimes quite blurred.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And Weinberger should know. It was under his watch that a “fictional” war game scenario brought the world to the brink of a very real global thermonuclear war.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">In 1983, at the height of Cold War tensions over the Reagan Administration’s moves to increase the US nuclear arsenal and his <a href="https://fas.org/irp/offdocs/nsdd/nsdd-13.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">national security directive</a> calling for the ability to win a nuclear war, NATO decided to simulate a first-strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union in an exercise dubbed “<a href="https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/project/able-archer-83-sourcebook" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Able Archer 83</a>.” As recently declassified documents <a href="https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/nukevault/ebb533-The-Able-Archer-War-Scare-Declassified-PFIAB-Report-Released/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">show</a>, the exercise was unprecedented in its scale and scope, even involving a very real radio-silent air lift of 19,000 US troops to Europe. So realistic was the build up of forces and the preparations for nuclear strikes during these “war games” that, as we now know from these documents kept hidden from the public for 30 years, Able Archer 83 very <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/06/able-archer-almost-started-a-nuclear-war-with-russia-in-1983.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">nearly caused a <em>real</em> nuclear exchange</a>.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But these concerns about war games going live did not end with the break up of the Soviet Union. On September 10, 2001, the Russian Air Force began a <a href="http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a091001russianexercise#a091001russianexercise" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">week-long training exercise</a> over the North Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans. The exercise simulated a Russian bombing attack in response to NATO aggression. On September 9, 2001, NORAD <a href="http://www.norad.mil/Newsroom/Article/578022/norad-maintains-northern-vigilance/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">announced</a> they would be deploying additional fighter aircraft to <span class="body_story">Forward Operating Locations</span> in Alaska and Northern Canada to monitor the exercise and “<span class="body_story">ensure that our air sovereignty is maintained</span>.” The Russians called off their war game when the 9/11 attacks began to unfold.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Military planners know that simulations and war games can be used as cover for real attacks.

The reason that they didn’t know where to go was because a number of conflicting and overlapping war game exercises were taking place, one of which, Northern Vigilance, had pulled a significant number of North American fighter aircraft into Canada and western Alaska and and northern Alaska in a mock Cold War hijack exercise. There was another drill, Vigilant Guardian, which was a hijack exercise, a command post exercise, but it involved the insertion of false radar blips on to radar screens in the NorthEast Air Defense Sector. In addition we have a confirmation thanks to General Richard Myers who was acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs who told Richard Clarke, as reported in Clarke’s book, that there was another exercise, Vigilant Warrior, which was, in fact, according to a NORAD source a live fly hijack drill being conducted at the same time.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">With only eight available fighter aircraft, and they have to be dispatched in pairs, they were dealing with as many as 22 possible hijacks on the day of 9/11 and they couldn’t separate the war game exercises from the actual hijacks.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://youtu.be/3X18ajOBFhM?t=1578" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">The Great Deception</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Yes, on the morning of September 11, 2001, the stage was perfectly set for an unprecedented day of simulated terror throughout the northeastern United States.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And then it all happened for real.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>PART FOUR – THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE</strong></p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em>08:37:52</em></p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>BOSTON CENTER</strong>: Hi.

We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York and we need you guys to — we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there. Help us out.” NEADS says, “Is this real world or an exercise?”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">My question is, you were postured for an exercise against the former Soviet Union. Did that help or hurt? Did that help in terms of were more people prepared? Did you have more people ready? Were more fighters fueled with more fuel? Or did this hurt in terms of people thinking, “No, there’s no possibility that this is real world; we’re engaged in an exercise,” and delay things? Or did it have both impacts?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>GEN.

These statements were incorrect as well. The report of American 11 heading south as the cause of the Langley scramble is reflected not just in taped conversations at NEADS, but in taped conversations in FAA centers, on chat logs compiled at NEADS, continental region headquarters, and NORAD, and in other records. Yet this response to a phantom aircraft, American 11, is not recounted in a single public timeline or statement issued by FAA or DOD. Instead, since 9/11, the scramble of the Langley fighters has been described as a response to the reported hijacking of American 77, or United 93, or some combination of the two. This inaccurate account created the appearance that the Langley scramble was a logical response to an actual hijacked aircraft.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?182320-1/september-11-commission-hearing" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">September 11 Commission Hearing, June 17, 2004</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">False radar inputs. Military aircraft participating in exercises in the middle of a crisis. Civilian aircraft squawking false hijack reports. Fighter jets chasing phantom planes.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Which of these reports were merely the “fog of war” so often referred to by promoters of the official 9/11 story, and which were part of the exercise themselves? Were there field exercises of hijackings taking place that morning that were then mistaken for the real thing? What part did these war games and exercises play in hampering the response of the many military officers who had spent their whole careers training to protect American airspace?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Did the war games help the perpetrators of 9/11 in their attack?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The answers to these questions, like so many other questions about the events of September 11th, remain shrouded under a veil of official government secrecy.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>PART FIVE: BEYOND COINCIDENCE</strong></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">“Purely a coincidence.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">According to the official story of 9/11 itself, we are told that simulated hijackings were taking place at the same time as real-life hijackings. That an airplane-into-building drill was occurring at the same time as airplanes were flying into buildings. That false radar blips and fake hijack reports were competing for the military’s attention with real-world radar blips and hijack reports. And throughout it all, technicians, operators, military personnel and air traffic controllers were constantly seeking reassurance that what they were seeing was not part of an exercise.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Purely a coincidence? Or part of a pre-meditated plan?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And if this unprecedented tangle of exercises, drills and simulations <em>was</em> part of a pre-meditated plan, what was that plan? What would be the point of simulating the attacks even as the attacks themselves were taking place?</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>MICHAEL RUPPERT</strong>: For me, the pivotal evidence absolutely demonstrating direct government complicity in and management of the attacks was found in a number of undisputed yet virtually unaddressed war games that I have shown were being conducted, coordinated, and/or controlled by Vice President Dick Cheney or his immediate staff on the morning of September the 11th.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The names of those wargames are known to include: Vigilant Guardian, Vigilant Warrior, Northern Guardian, Northern Vigilance, and Tripod. There is a possibility that Northern Guardian is a duplicate name, but the remaining exercises are indisputably separate events with different objectives. All have been reported by major press organizations relying on undisputed quotes from participating military and FAA personnel. They have also been confirmed by NORAD press releases. All, except for Northern Vigilance and Tripod II, had to do with hijacked airliners inside the continental United States, specifically within the northeast air defense sector or NEADS, where all four 9/11 hijackings occurred.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">According to a clear record, some of these exercises involve commercial airline hijackings. In some cases, false blips or “injects” were deliberately inserted into FAA and military radar screens, and they were present during at least the first attacks. This effectively paralyzed fighter response because with only eight fighters available in the region, there were as many as 22 possible hijackings taking place.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Other exercises, specifically Northern Vigilance, had pulled significant fighter resources away from the northeast US just before 9/11 into northern Canada and Alaska. In addition, a close reading of key news stories published in the spring of 2004 revealed for the first time that some of these drills were live-fly exercises, where actual aircraft—likely flown by remote control—were simulating the behavior of hijacked airliners in real life. All of this as the real attacks began.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The fact that these exercises have never been systematically and thoroughly explored in the mainstream press or publicly by Congress—or at least publicly in any detail whatsoever by this so-called “independent” 911 Commission—made me think that they might be the holy grail of 9/11. And that’s exactly what they turned out to be.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Only one war game exercise, Vigilant Guardian, was mentioned in a footnote to the Kean Commission report, and then it was deliberately mislabeled as an exercise intended to intercept Russian bombers instead of a hijack exercise in the northeast sector. Even then a deliberate lie was told to the American people as NORAD commander General Ralph Eberhart testified to the Commission that the exercise actually expedited US Air Force response during the attacks.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Before the Commission’s final hearing I undertook a direct investigation in an attempt to learn more details about each of the exercises and specifically who was controlling them or had planned them to take place on September the 11th, where it’s abundantly clear based upon the record of statements made by the US Air Force and FAA personnel that the games had effectively paralyzed fighter response during the attacks.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5voCxZSwzCM" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">9/11 Omission Hearings – Michael Ruppert On Dick Cheney – 9/9/2004</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The exercises taking place on 9/11 could only be to the benefit of the attackers. No stand down order would have kept any dedicated fighter pilot worth his salt grounded during the only attack on his country’s air space in his lifetime. But if those fighter pilots and their commanders had no idea what was real and what was fake, what was an actual threat and what was just a phantom blip, then their response could be effectively contained.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And it was. The utter “failure” of the air response that morning is proof of that.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But if the simulations and war games on the morning of 9/11 <em>were</em> part of a pre-meditated plan on the part of the attackers, then the obvious question is who were the attackers? Are we to believe that the dastardly Al Qaeda masterminds <em>not only</em> perpetrated the simultaneous hijacking of four civilian airliners, turning off the plane’s transponders and putting them through a series of maneuvers that even advanced pilots could not replicate to hit their targets with pinpoint accuracy, <em>but also</em> penetrated the command structure of the US military and NORAD itself to direct the planning and scheduling of simultaneous war games mirroring their own plot to confuse the air response to the attacks?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Because if that sounds like outlandish comic book fantasy, then there is only one other possible conclusion: That members of the National Command Authority, the US military and NORAD in a position to plan and schedule such exercises were the attackers themselves.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>BYERS</strong>: What is scenario 12-D?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em>(BYERS SNR doesn’t respond.)</em></p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>BYERS</strong>: We know it’s a war game scenario.

During his speech there, Knoblauch <a href="https://911review.com/articles/ryan/lies_about_wtc.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">assured the lab’s workers</a> that UL “had certified the steel in the World Trade Center buildings” and “that we should all be proud that the buildings had stood for so long under such intense conditions.” Knowing UL’s role in producing a fire resistance directory and providing ratings for steel components, Ryan thought little of the statement at the time.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But Ryan’s curiosity about UL’s role in the certification of the World Trade Center steel was piqued when, in 2003, he began to question the lies that the Bush administration had used to justify the invasion of Iraq, and, eventually, to question the official story of September 11th itself. Recalling Knoblauch’s comments about UL’s role in certifying the Trade Center steel shortly after 9/11, Ryan began to take a professional interest in the official investigation into the Twin Towers’ destruction, an investigation in which UL itself was to play a part.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">As Ryan began to learn more about the issues involved with the destruction of the towers and the ongoing investigation into that destruction, his concerns only grew. Why had the actual steel evidence of the towers’ destruction been <a href="https://www.corbettreport.com/911-suspects-rudy-giuliani/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">illegally removed and disposed of</a> <em>before</em> a proper investigation could take place? Why did not one or two, but <em>three</em> modern, steel-frame buildings completely collapse due to fire on 9/11 given that such an event had never taken place before? Why did the towers fail at all when John Skilling, the structural engineer responsible for designing the towers, <a href="http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19930227&slug=1687698" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">claimed in 1993</a>—just five years before his death—that his own analysis of jet plane crashes and ensuing fires in the towers had concluded that “the building structure would still be there”? And why had Knoblauch himself bragged about UL’s role in testing the World Trade Center steel—a test that would have rated the floor components for two hours of fire resistance and the building columns for three hours—when the North Tower “failed” in 102 minutes and the South Tower came down in just 56 minutes?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">These concerns prompted Ryan, in October 2003, to write directly to Loring Knoblauch, outlining his thoughts and “asking what [Knoblauch] was doing to protect our reputation.” But if Ryan was expecting Knoblauch to put his mind at ease about these issues, he was sorely disappointed. Instead, Knoblauch—who included <a href="https://www.ul.com/news/research-and-exploration-unknown" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Tom Chapin</a>, then the head of UL’s fire resistance division, in the email chain—wrote a response that only raised more questions than it answered.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>KEVIN RYAN</strong>: Knoblauch copied Tom Chapin on his response to me, because it was Tom’s job as the leader of the fire resistance division to really address these kinds of things. And interestingly, Tom Chapin had written <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/15/opinion/l-fire-test-is-sound-535605.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">a letter to the editors</a> at <em>The New York Times</em> in 2002 where he basically admitted, again, that UL’s testing had been behind the fire resistance of the World Trade Center towers. And so I’ve written about that a little bit, but he was very clear that the World Trade Center stood for as long as it did because of UL’s testing. And the problem of course with that is that the South Tower lasted for only 56 minutes after it was hit, and the testing that was required by New York City code was three hours of fire resistance for the columns and two hours for the floor assemblies. So 56 minutes and those ratings do not add up. That’s just not something that should go unquestioned.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So Loring Knoblauch wrote back to me after my questions in—it must have been October 2003 when I wrote to him. He wrote back to me a month later and he said all these things about how the company had tested the steel components used to build the World Trade Center towers. What he meant is we had tested samples of those and provided ratings for fire resistance to the New York City code—again, three hours for columns and two hours for floor assemblies. And that information established the confidence that the buildings would stand in those fire durations. And the test that was used was ASTM E119, which is the standard test used for this purpose. And UL is the leader in doing that testing, so it wasn’t a surprise.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And not only that, but NIST—the government agency NIST [the National Institute of Standards and Technology]—had made clear in some of their progress reports that UL had consulted with the construction companies for the World Trade Center towers, and throughout the building of the buildings that UL had provided that information. So it’s really not a surprise at all.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And Tom Chapin replied further to me that the NIST agency was doing an investigation and asked me, basically, to have patience. And I did for maybe the next year.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">In 2002, NIST began its three-year, $16 million study of the Twin Towers’ “failure.” Tom Chapin had assured Ryan that UL was cooperating with this investigation and that his concerns would be allayed once the <a href="https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/NCSTAR/ncstar1.pdf" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">final report</a> was released. But by 2004, it was already clear that there were serious problems with that report and its preliminary findings, including findings from <a href="https://info.publicintelligence.net/wtcfiretesting.pdf" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">tests conducted by UL</a> on mock-ups of the WTC floor assemblies that contradicted NIST’s own conclusions about the buildings’ destruction.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RYAN</strong>: Well, it’s very important to understand that with the official accounts for the World Trade Center, there were a number of explanations given in the early years. And for the towers the one that was settled upon and that lasted for three years was the pancake theory.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And the pancake theory was this concept where the floor assemblies had heated up and sagged and this steel had softened or weakened and then they started to collapse upon each other in a pancake fashion. And then the columns basically just folded inward. So that was the official account, really. It was given by the FEMA investigators <a href="https://911review.com/coverup/wtcinquiry.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Corley and Thornton</a> and others—who coincidentally had also given us the official account for the Oklahoma City bombing. But in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M36ZpK79rX8" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">this video</a> from the television program Nova, it was captured for everyone’s benefit in little videos . . . animations. And so the pancake theory was the official account.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And <a href="https://info.publicintelligence.net/wtcfiretesting.pdf" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">UL tested the floor assemblies</a> basically for the possibility of this in August 2004. So this was, again, nine months or ten months after I had asked my original questions. And they did so by using different assemblies with varying amounts of fireproofing. One of the assemblies had basically no fireproofing on it at all, and they ran it through this furnace in this ASTM E119 test and concluded in the end that there would be no collapse. That the floors would not collapse even at temperatures and times greater than what we’re seeing at the World Trade Center.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And they made that clear. NIST made this clear, that the pancake theory was not supported. So that left us all at that time with no explanation, in 2004, three years later. Having invaded Iraq, having done so much to invest in the official account that the World Trade Center had been destroyed by these planes. And that was a difficult situation for NIST and for everyone.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Realizing that UL was not pressing NIST on the discrepancies in its findings, Kevin Ryan took matters into his own hands and, on November 11, 2004, <a href="http://911truth.org/ul-executive-speaks-out-on-wtc-study/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">wrote directly to Frank Gayle</a>, the director of NIST’s Twin Towers investigation. That email began:</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">“As I’m sure you know, the company I work for certified the steel components used in the construction of the WTC buildings. In requesting information from both our CEO and Fire Protection business manager last year, I learned that they did not agree on the essential aspects of the story, except for one thing—that the samples we certified met all requirements. They suggested we all be patient and understand that UL was working with your team, and that tests would continue through this year. I’m aware of UL’s attempts to help, including performing tests on models of the floor assemblies. But the results of these tests appear to indicate that the buildings should have easily withstood the thermal stress caused by pools of burning jet fuel.”</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">After pointing out the problems raised by NIST’s own investigation—including the tests that disproved claims that the steel in the floor area simply “melted”—Ryan got to the heart of the matter:</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">“This story just does not add up. If steel from those buildings did soften or melt, I’m sure we can all agree that this was certainly not due to jet fuel fires of any kind, let alone the briefly burning fires in those towers. That fact should be of great concern to all Americans. Alternatively, the contention that this steel did fail at temperatures around 250C suggests that the majority of deaths on 9/11 were due to a safety-related failure. That suggestion should be of great concern to my company.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">“There is no question that the events of 9/11 are the emotional driving force behind the War on Terror. And the issue of the WTC collapse is at the crux of the story of 9/11. My feeling is that your metallurgical tests are at the crux of the crux of the crux. Either you can make sense of what really happened to those buildings, and communicate this quickly, or we all face the same destruction and despair that come from global decisions based on disinformation and ‘chatter.'”</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Predictably, if unfortunately, Gayle never responded to the email. However, Ryan made the important decision to share the email, and his concerns, with the broader public:</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RYAN</strong>: Frank did not respond, no. Actually, that letter was sent to him and then also copied to a couple of people who were trying to find more information. Trying to find the truth about what happened on 9/11. Those two included David Griffin, who had just recently written a book, and Catherine Austin Fitts, the director of <a href="http://911truth.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">911Truth.org</a>.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Dr. Griffin asked me almost immediately if he could share it publicly. And, of course, with some hesitation, but knowing the importance in believing what I wrote, I told him it was OK. And overnight there must have been tens of thousands of people reading this letter on the web and people calling our offices in South Bend at UL constantly, and calling me at home constantly. I think a lot of people were feeling the same—they were thinking the same thing: That clearly there was something wrong here and the story was not explaining what we needed to know.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So Dr. Gayle did not respond. He’s never responded. Maybe one day I will talk to him personally and find out what he thinks. But, you know, these things are clear in terms of job—this is not really <em>just</em> a career decision, although it is—it’s a career decision. It’s more than that, it’s a decision about, you know, what kind of world we want to live in, and at a time where that kind of decision is really important. Because, you know, the book <em>Nineteen Eighty-Four</em> was supposed to be a fiction and it’s evolving into reality.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Ryan did not engage in these actions naïvely. He knew that allowing his concerns to go public would focus public attention on himself and on UL and that such actions would have ramifications for his employment.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But if he <em>was</em> bracing himself for those ramifications, he didn’t have long to wait. His email to Frank Gayle was sent on Thursday, November 11, 2004. It was published on the web the following day. Immediately, Ryan’s phone was ringing off the hook and UL was being contacted for comment. That weekend, the company reached out to him to let him know the consequences of his actions.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RYAN</strong>: The Human Resources folks called me that weekend and asked if I would contact the people on the web who had published it and ask that it be taken down. And I refused to do that and told them that I didn’t think that was the right thing to do. And I think it was at that very point that they started making the plans to terminate me.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So I had actually taken the next Monday off of work and that was convenient. It allowed me to get my thoughts together. And then on Tuesday when I came in—which I believe was the 16th—the leaders from the Northbrook—Chicago—office were there, and they had told me they would be: “Please make sure you’re there.” They brought a letter on UL letterhead and made it clear that, you know, they felt that I had practiced poor judgment in writing this letter and sending it to their client NIST. It had harmed their relationship with NIST, and thereby I was terminated.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So, yeah, that was a tough spot for my family and I. But my wife has been supportive. She knows the idealistic nature of her husband, I think, and she knew why it was important. And we’ve done fine, we’ve gotten by and gotten other jobs. And that’s—I believe people should recognize that it’s not the end of the world to lose your job. Sometimes it’s a new beginning that is useful.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Not for courting controversy, but merely for pointing out the glaring truth, Ryan was fired from his job. Like so many other whistleblowers in so many other stories, Ryan paid a price for doing what his conscience demanded.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Also like many other brave men and women who have been thrust into the position of blowing the whistle, Ryan has found a way to thrive despite the setbacks. Rather than keeping quiet and moving on with his life, Ryan has doubled down on his efforts, founding several action groups, editing the <a href="http://www.journalof911studies.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Journal of 9/11 Studies</a>, writing articles and books on the subject of 9/11, volunteering on the board of directors of <a href="https://www.ae911truth.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth</a>, delivering lectures on the destruction of the World Trade Center, and continuing to raise public awareness of the problems with the official story of the founding event of the “War on Terror.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">In the end, despite the high price he paid career-wise, Ryan feels that his decision to blow the whistle and call out the self-contradictions of the NIST investigation was worth it. After all, it is only when those who know the truth are unafraid to step up and speak it, regardless of the personal consequences, that we will ever hope to achieve true justice.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RYAN</strong>: What I’ve been able to benefit from is understanding a lot more about society, history, politics, being better at communicating myself. And I’ve met a lot of great people. We’ve worked together to raise awareness and try to bring justice for 9/11. You know, I’ve met and presented with 9/11 victims’ family members. I’ve met 9/11 Commission leaders and other people who were very central to this story. So many great researchers. So many great people. So overall it was definitely worth it for me.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">It’s a personal decision, of course, and it has to be motivated by trying to do some good. If it’s not motivated by trying to do some good then you’re doing the wrong thing.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><b> Cate Jenkins</b></p></div>

Officials like Cate Jenkins.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Dr. Cate Jenkins had joined the EPA in December 1979, serving as an Environmental Scientist with EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER). Her work included “detecting hazardous waste and developing regulations for their control,” a role that took on special importance in the wake of the toxic dust clouds covering Manhattan on 9/11. Unlike many of the other 9/11 whistleblowers, however, the events of September 11, 2001, did not represent the first time Dr. Jenkins had to blow the whistle on her own agency.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Jenkins dealt with many hazardous waste products in her job, but she specialized in dioxin (a.k.a. Agent Orange), a contaminant of wood preservatives that was used in the Vietnam War as a defoliant. Monsanto Chemical Corporation was the largest producer of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War, and it was a series of Monsanto-sponsored studies in the early 1980s that led the EPA to conclude that “human evidence supporting an association” between dioxin and cancer “is considered inadequate.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">In February 1990, Jenkins wrote a memo to the EPA Science Advisory Board alleging that the Monsanto-sponsored studies were fraudulent, and that the studies, if performed correctly, would have shown the carcinogenic effects of dioxin. The memo caught the attention of the press and, under the glare of a media spotlight, the EPA launched a criminal investigation of Monsanto. That investigation was opened on August 20th and closed less than two years later, but, as EPA whistleblower William Sanjour <a href="http://www.williamsanjour.name/monsanto.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">notes</a>, “the investigation itself and the basis for closing the investigation were fraudulent.” No attempt was even made to determine the scientific validity of the studies in question, and the EPA declined to pursue the matter because of statute of limitations technicalities.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The EPA did, however, find time to mount a campaign of retribution against Jenkins for having the audacity to blow the whistle on the agency and its listing practices for hazardous chemicals. Her workload was reduced and higher-ups at the EPA immediately began talking about shunting her off into a purely administrative position where she would “not be involved with anything that puts her in direct contact with the regulated community or the public.” Her supervisor even wrote a letter to Monsanto apologizing for Jenkins’ memo questioning their studies.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Jenkins filed a complaint with the Department of Labor, and, in a <a href="https://www.oalj.dol.gov/PUBLIC/WHISTLEBLOWER/DECISIONS/ALJ_DECISIONS/CAA/92CAA06A.HTM" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">series of cases</a> that were appealed all the way up to the Secretary of Labor himself, it was found that she had been unfairly retaliated against for her whistleblowing and the EPA was ordered to reinstate her in her previous position.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But as nightmarish as that years-long, potentially career-ending ordeal in whistleblowing was for Dr. Jenkins, it was nothing compared to the ordeal she would have to face after “the day that changed everything.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Beginning shortly after the attack, and continuing for years afterward, Dr. Jenkins attempted to bring the EPA’s faulty and fraudulent air quality testing practices to the attention of anyone who would listen. <a href="https://www.oalj.dol.gov/PUBLIC/ARB/DECISIONS/ARB_DECISIONS/CAA/15_046.CAAP.PDF" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">According to</a> the Administrative Review Board of the US Department of Labor:</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">“Beginning in 2001, Jenkins made numerous disclosures and complaints alleging that the EPA engaged in improper laboratory testing, falsified a regulation governing exposure safety standards, and knowingly covered up the toxic properties of the dust emanating from the September 11, 2001 [9/11] World Trade Center [WTC] disaster. The improper testing and cover-up, Jenkins claimed, contributed to excessive and harmful toxic dust exposures of WTC ‘First Responders’ and others sufficient to later cause respiratory and other serious and debilitating disease. Jenkins disseminated these disclosures and complaints to her supervisors and others at EPA, to the EPA Inspector General’s Office, members of Congress, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as to state officials, state elected representatives, law firms representing WTC First Responders, citizens, and the media. Her disclosures were posted on web sites and repeatedly quoted in the press and television broadcasts, and by members of Congress.”</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/44938772/Jenkins-011102-WTC-vs-Libby" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">One of these early memos</a>, dated January 11, 2002, was written on EPA letterhead and addressed to “Affected Parties and Responsible Officials.” It examines the case of Libby, Montana—a designated “Superfund” site, where the federal government is paying to help residents clean the “interiors of homes and residential soils [that] have been contaminated with asbestos from an adjacent vermiculite mining operation.” Jenkins compared the levels of contaminated dust particles found inside apartments in Lower Manhattan after 9/11 to dust samples taken in Libby, finding that the New York samples contained 22 times higher concentrations of asbestos than the Montana samples. As Jenkins noted: “The logical question thus arises: Why is EPA leaving people to their own devices in the cleanup of New York City, while intervening to clean homes at taxpayer expense in Libby?”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Worse, a team of independent scientists hired by tenant groups and New York political leaders found much higher samples of asbestos in the dust than what the EPA was reporting.

In fact, her case that the EPA had retaliated against her for her whistleblowing was still before the Department of Labor.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The entire legal ordeal proceeded for years, finally coming to an end in 2018—a full eight years after the agency’s first attempt to fire her—when the Department of Labor <a href="https://www.oalj.dol.gov/PUBLIC/ARB/DECISIONS/ARB_DECISIONS/CAA/15_046.CAAP.PDF" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">confirmed</a> a <a href="https://www.oalj.dol.gov/Decisions/ALJ/CAA/2011/JENKINS_CATE_PHD_v_US_ENVIRONMENTAL_PRO_2011CAA00003_(APR_15_2015)_141513_CADEC_SD.PDF" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">2015 decision</a> that the EPA had “retaliated against [Jenkins] for her reports to Congress and the FBI, and to the public through the media, about her allegations of violation of environmental laws and regulations by the EPA in connection with the rescue and cleanup operations at the WTC, in violation of the whistleblower provisions of the Clean Air Act, the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">After nearly two decades of research and whistleblowing and almost ten years of legal nightmare, Jenkins was finally vindicated. She had been unjustly fired for attempting to call attention to the agency’s wrongdoings, and she was restored to her position.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But although this victory is to be celebrated, it comes as slim comfort to those seeking justice for the victims of 9/11, not just those killed in the buildings that day, and not just the victims of the wars that have been waged in the name of September 11th, but the victims of the toxic dust that Cate Jenkins and others have been warning about since the events unfolded.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And meanwhile, those who pushed the deadly lies about the air quality have moved on with their lives, continuing their careers and only occasionally being confronted by the independent media that is still attempting to shed light on the story.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>DERRICK BROZE</strong>: Ms. Whitman, I appreciate your talk in there. You guys mentioned voting and the power of shaming voters. I feel like there’s probably a lot of folks who feel like you might need to be shamed since it’s been 17 years since 9/11 and nearly 10,000 people are now sick with 9/11-related illnesses. And I know you apologized about it two years ago and you were cleared in the courts, but all evidence points to your time in the Bush administration clearly led to people being sick and led to people getting cancer and other 9/11-related illnesses.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>WHITMAN</strong>: Everything that I said was based on the best available science at the time. Science has progressed now. I think we found things that we didn’t know then. But I never said anything that wasn’t predicated on what the scientists told me. That morning—every morning—I had a conference call with the scientists: “What is safe to say? What can I say? What shouldn’t I say?” And they kept repeating that they were seeing nothing in their studies that show that there was a long-term health consequence from the air in Manhattan in general and Lower Manhattan in general.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/FYi2mqJN9u8/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Christine Todd Whitman (Fmr EPA head) Confronted About 9/11 First Responder Deaths</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">They may not be the lies we think of when we think of the lies of 9/11—lies which led to the <a href="https://www.corbettreport.com/afghanwar/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">illegal invasion of Afghanistan</a> and contributed to the illegal invasion of Iraq—but the EPA’s lies about the World Trade Center dust, too, have proven deadly.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And, like a Cassandra cursed with the ability to foresee a grim future that she could not prevent, Cate Jenkins spent decades of her life warning of the consequences of those lies.

And as we keep letting you hear the personal stories the survivor stories of exactly what happened inside the World Trade Center when that first plane went in—and of course the collapses since then—we’re going to bring more of those to you now. Barry Jennings, you were on the eighth floor. You work for the city housing department. Explain to me the moment of impact.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>BARRY JENNINGS</strong>: Well, me and Mr. Hess, the corporation counsel, were on the 23rd floor. I told him, “We gotta get out of here.” We started walking down the stairs. We made it to the 8th floor [later clarified to be the 6th floor]. Big explosion! Blew us back into the 8th floor. And I turned to Hess and I said, “This is it, we’re dead. We’re not gonna make it outta here. . . .”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I took a fire extinguisher and I bust the window out. This gentlemen heard my cries for help. This gentleman right here. And he said kept saying “Stand by, somebody’s coming to get you.” They could they couldn’t get to us for now because they couldn’t find us. You thought that was it. I thought . . . I go, “We’re dead.” I thought that was it. I started praying to Allah that that’s it, we’re going.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LO5V2CJpzI" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Barry Jennings – 9/11 Early Afternoon ABC7 Interview</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">In 2001, Barry Jennings was the Deputy Director of Emergency Services for the New York City Housing Authority. After the first plane hit the North Tower at 8:46 AM on the morning of 9/11, Jennings was called to the city’s Office of Emergency Management in World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) along with Corporation Counsel Michael Hess to help coordinate the emergency response. Entering Building 7 together before the strike on the South Tower at 9:03 AM, Jennings and Hess were surprised to discover that the office had been abandoned. Receiving a phone call from his superior, Jennings was warned to leave the building immediately. Descending via the stairwell, Jennings and Hess reached the 6th floor before an explosion blew them back up to the 8th floor, trapping them inside the building. After hours of chaos and confusion, including the collapse of the Twin Towers and repeated attempts to draw the attention of first responders, the pair were finally rescued by firefighters.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Hours later, World Trade Center Building 7, also known as the Salomon Brothers Building, collapsed at free-fall acceleration directly into the path of most resistance. After seven years of investigation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) determined that the building had not come down due to explosives or controlled demolition, as many alleged, or due to structural damage from the collapse of the Twin Towers, an explosion in the building’s fuel oil systems, or any of the other suggestions that had been put forward and retracted by NIST over the course of its investigation. Instead, NIST spokesman Shyam Sunder insisted that the building had collapsed due to ordinary office fires.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SHYAM SUNDER</strong>: The collapse of World Trade Center 7 on 9/11 was a rare event. Our study has identified thermal expansion as a new phenomenon that can cause the collapse of a structure. For the first time, we have shown that fire can induce a progressive collapse.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?280569-1/investigation-world-trade-center-building-7" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Investigation of World Trade Center Building 7</a></strong></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Jennings’ remarkable story was captured by Jeff Rossen, reporting on the ground for WABC-TV, just moments after he and Hess had been rescued from the building. But it wasn’t until several years later that Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas, the creators of <em>Loose Change</em>—the first viral internet documentary—discovered the clip of that interview from the day of 9/11 and realized that Jennings’ testimony was one of the few eyewitness accounts of one of the deepest mysteries of that day: The destruction of WTC 7.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>JASON BERMAS</strong>: So while we were doing research for, obviously, our next cut of the film, <em>Loose Change: Final Cut</em>—you know, <em>Loose Change Second Edition</em> gave us a real opportunity to go around doing investigation. And we had had so much archived footage sent to us, because this was long before the days of the internet where you get something high-quality on the spot. And Dylan found footage of Barry Jennings that had been unedited that we had not seen that really suggested that he was absolutely in Building Seven.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And we also correlated that with him being with Michael Hess. And Michael Hess was the right-hand man of Giuliani. He was the city corporation counsel. Here’s a still shot of him behind me. And then you can see him here sitting next to Giuliani, so pretty much as close as it gets. And, you know, we made this connection. And actually I had reached out to Hess via email. I heard nothing back—and to, you know, the proper parties, nothing back.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But Dylan tracked down Barry Jennings in his city office and Barry <em>did</em> respond. And Barry said, “Come on down!” So me and Dylan went down with the camera, and once we got in there and started talking to him, I remember like the first thing that I saw—you know, he was obviously, I’d say, not the highest up guy, but very—you know, he had his own office, he was well respected. He had the key to the city. You know, he had talked about the key to the city after this event, and he even told us how he had seen <em>Loose Change Second Edition</em>. Basically, what I can remember: He was pretty sympathetic to our cause. He talked to us about <em>Fahrenheit 9/11</em>.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And from there we tried to find a spot to get him, and I remember he drove us out there. We were in the back, one of his suits hanging up. I remember we even talked about his family, you know, being out in Long Island. Very friendly guy. And we got him on the pier.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And listen: The interview is what it is. We’ve released it in full. We didn’t add anything. We didn’t coerce the guy. And I think what he says is about as telling as it gets.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">“As telling as it gets.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Indeed, Barry Jennings’ story <em>is</em> telling. As the only documented eyewitness testimony of the events taking place inside World Trade Center 7 during the hours of the attack, the accounts of Barry Jennings and Michael Hess are essential to coming to an understanding of the destruction of that building. And, most telling of all, it contradicts the official, government-approved story of Building 7’s destruction in many important ways.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>BARRY JENNINGS</strong>: As I told you guys before, it was very funny. I was on my way to work and the traffic was excellent. I received a call that a small Cessna had hit the World Trade Center. I was asked to go and man the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) at World Trade Center 7 on the 23rd floor.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">As I arrived there, there were police all in the lobby. They showed me the way to the elevator. We got up to the 23rd floor, me and Mr. Hess, who I didn’t know was Mr. Hess at the time. We got to the 23rd floor. We couldn’t get in. We had to go back down. Then security and the police took us to the freight elevators, where they took us back up and we did get in.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Upon arriving into the OEM EOC [Emergency Operations Center], we noticed that everybody was gone. I saw coffee that was on the desk. The smoke was still coming off the coffee. I saw half-eaten sandwiches. And only me and Mr. Hess were up there.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">After I called several individuals, one individual told me to leave, and leave right away. Mr. Hess came running back in. He said, “We’re the only ones up here, we gotta get out of here.” He found the stairwell. So we subsequently went to the stairwell and were going down the stairs.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">When we reached the 6th floor, the landing that we were standing on gave way. There was an explosion and the landing gave way. And I was left there, hanging. I had to climb back up. And now I had to walk back up to the 8th floor. After getting to the 8th floor, everything was dark. It was dark and it was very, very hot. <em>Very</em> hot.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I asked Mr. Hess to test the phones as I took a fire extinguisher and broke out the windows. Once I broke out the windows, I could see outside below me. I saw police cars on fire. Buses on fire. I looked one way, the building was there. I looked the other way, it was gone.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I was trapped in there for several hours. I was trapped in there when both buildings came down.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The firefighters came. They came to the window. Because I was going to come out on the fire hose. I didn’t want to stay any longer. It was too hot. I was gonna come out on the fire hose. They came to the window and they started yelling, “Do <em>not</em> do that. It won’t hold you.” And then they ran away.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">See, I didn’t know what was going on. That’s when the first tower fell. When they started running, the first tower was coming down. I had no way of knowing that.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Then I saw them come back. Now I saw them come back with more concern on their faces. And then they ran away again. The second tower fell. So as they turned and ran the second time, the guy said, “Don’t worry, we’ll be back for you.” And they did come back.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">This time they came back with 10 firefighters. And they kept asking, “Where are you? We don’t know where you are.” I said, “I’m on the north side of the building.” Because when I was on the stairs, I saw “North Side.”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">All this time, I’m hearing all types of explosions. All this time, I’m hearing explosions. And I’m thinking that maybe it’s the buses around me that were on fire, the cars that were on fire. I don’t see no . . . you know? But I’m still hearing these explosions.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">When they finally got to us and they took us down to what they called the lobby . . . Because I asked them when we got down there, I said, “Where are we?” He said, “This <em>was</em> the lobby.” And I said, “You gotta be kidding me.” It was total ruins. Total ruins. Now keep in mind: When I came in there, the lobby had nice escalators. It was a huge lobby. And for me to see what I saw was unbelievable.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And the firefighter that took us down kept saying, “Do not look down!” And I kept saying, “Why?” He said, “Do not look down.” And we were stepping over people. And, you know, you can feel when you’re stepping over people.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">They took us out through a hole, that . . . I don’t know who made this hole in this wall. That’s how they got us out. They took us out through a hole through the wall to safety.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">As they were taking me out, one firefighter had fallen. I believe he was having a heart attack. But before that, this big giant police officer came to me. And he said, “You have to run!” I said, “I can’t run. My knees are swollen.” He said, “You’ll have to get on your knees and crawl, then!” He said, “Because we have reports of more explosions.” And that’s when I started crawling, and I saw this guy fall behind me. His comrades came to his aid and they dragged him to safety.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I was looking for an ambulance for my knees, and at that time they told me we gotta walk 20 blocks to a refuge. Before I got there, Eyewitness News grabbed me and started interviewing me.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And that’s basically it.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e6rYzcAjog" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Barry Jennings Uncut</a></strong></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">To those unfamiliar with the official story of WTC 7, this might seem like just another account of the terror, confusion and heroism that the victims of that day faced during their harrowing ordeal.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But this is not the case.

When I reach down to the 6th floor, with this eerie sound the whole building went dark and the staircase that I was standing on just gave way.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>NARRATOR</strong>: At 10:28 the North Tower collapses in just 11 seconds.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZbMfTtHkYM" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">BBC Conspiracy Files: The Third Tower</a></strong></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">With their editing and narrative intrusions, the BBC makes it seem that the explosions that Jennings and Hess experienced were just remnants of the Twin Towers hitting WTC 7. But in his interview with Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas, Jennings was completely adamant that he could still see both towers standing after the explosions happened.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>JENNINGS</strong>: What happened was, when we made it back to the 8th floor—as I told you earlier, both buildings were still standing, because I looked. [He points] Two. [He pauses] I look one way, look the other way—now there’s nothing there.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">When I got to the 6th floor, there was an explosion—that’s what forced us back to the 8th floor. Both buildings were still standing.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Keep in mind, I told you the fire department came . . . and ran. They came twice. Why? Because tower 1 fell and then tower 2 fell. And then when they came back, they came back, they came back all concerned like to get me the hell out of there. And, and they did. And we got out of there.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I got into the building a little before nine. . . . A little after nine. I didn’t get out of there until, like, 1:00.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">It is important to note that Jennings’ story does not present a different view of the official story of 9/11; it undermines that story entirely. Multiple explosions taking place in the lower floors of Building 7 <em>before</em> the Twin Towers’ destruction shows that NIST was wrong to dismiss the possibility of explosive demolition of WTC 7. Given that the explosions that trapped Jennings and Hess <em>was not</em> falling debris from the Twin Towers and <em>was not</em> a fuel oil tank explosion—a point stressed by Jennings and confirmed by NIST—then the most likely possibility—pre-planted explosives that were timed to go off during the attacks—remains not only uncontested, but unconsidered by NIST or any other investigative agency.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Indeed, the 9/11 Commission—which called Jennings in to question him about his story in one closed-door meeting that was never followed up—did not even mention the stunning, symmetrical, free-fall demolition of World Trade Center Building 7 in its final report on the attacks. The BBC, as we have seen, attempted to bring Jennings’ story in line with the official story by purposely misleading its viewers about the timeline that Jennings himself insisted on. And NIST, infamously, took seven years to finally offer an account of Building 7’s collapse; an account so absurd as to be self-refuting:</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SUNDER</strong>: Here’s a video taken on 9/11 that shows WTC 7 collapsing. Note the kink in the East penthouse and the progression of the screening wall and the West penthouse collapsing from East to West. Here is our structural model showing the building collapsing, which matches quite quite well with the video of the event.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Most remarkable of all, and conveniently left out of the account of every so-called “debunker” of Jennings’ testimony, is what Jennings himself felt about the destruction of Building 7.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>JENNINGS</strong>: Well, I’m just confused about one thing and one thing only. Why World Trade Center 7 went down in the first place. I’m very confused about that. I know what I heard. I heard explosions.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The explanation I got was it was the fuel oil tank. I’m an old boiler guy. If it was a fuel oil tank, it would have been one side of the building. When I got to that lobby, the lobby was totally destroyed. It looked like King Kong had came through it and stepped on it. It was so destroyed, I didn’t know where I was. And it was so destroyed, they had to take me out through a hole in the wall. A makeshift hole that I believe the fire department made to get me out.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Given Barry Jennings’ personal experience, what did he make of the BBC’s attempts to alter the timeline of his story? How did he react to the official government viewpoint that no explosions took place in the building that day? What did he think of NIST’s refusal to even examine the evidence of controlled demolition of WTC 7 or their own computer-generated model of how “thermal expansion” and regular office fires brought down a 47-story steel-framed office tower?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Sadly, we will never know. When Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas released a small clip of their interview, Jennings’ job was threatened and he asked that the interview not be included in <em>Loose Change: Final Cut</em>. The full interview was not released until after the BBC released their <em>Third Tower</em> documentary in which Jennings claimed to be unhappy with how his testimony was “portrayed” by Avery and Bermas.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">No further interview or follow-up with Jennings about his comments or about the way the BBC portrayed his story was possible. In September 2008, just as NIST was presenting its final report concluding that WTC 7 had spontaneously collapsed from ordinary office fires, it was <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111116044051/http://www.infowars.com/?p=4602" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">reported</a> that Barry Jennings had passed away in hospital the month before. No further details of his death were offered.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Dylan Avery, seeking to bring closure to Barry Jennings’ life, answer questions about his death, and honor the bravery of a 9/11 survivor who spoke the truth even when it was unpopular, hired a private investigator to determine the circumstances of Jennings’ death. In a remarkable and <a href="http://911blogger.com/news/2009-04-17/new-information-death-911-eyewitness-barry-jennings" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">bizarre turn of events</a>, however, after pursuing the case, the investigator referred the matter to the police, refunded his fee, and told Avery never to contact him again. To this day, no time or cause of death of Barry Jennings has ever been publicly announced or confirmed.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Despite the sad and confused ending of this tale, there is still hope. Hope that the courage Jennings had in standing up and telling the truth—even though it was not what the government, NIST, or the promoters of the official 9/11 story wanted to hear—will not be wasted. Hope that, ultimately, the historical record, and the truth itself, will out.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>BERMAS</strong>: I think the strongest lesson to be learned about Barry Jennings is that the historical record is the historical record, no matter how hard you try to spin it. For instance, you know, now with these Dark Overlord documents leaking, there’s litigation talking about the transformers being blown up in the bottom of the building. OK, now if that had happened, we would have had a visual event much like what happened with the Con Edison transformer blowing less than six months ago. It did not happen. And yet on paper and litigation and in official documents it does again and again. Well, it’s a cover-up.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The man stepped over bodies. We know that happened. He and Hess both talked about internal explosions. That building housed the CIA, the Secret Service, the SEC. I mean, I could go on. It’s unbelievable.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And I really hope with this latest litigation we finally get to the truth, no matter what. And I would hope that Barry would want the truth, no matter what he may have said in that BBC documentary. Because I spent time with the man. I was in his back seat, and he sure as hell wanted the truth then.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And so now, all these years later, those who are still seeking the truth are left in the same position as Barry Jennings himself was when he first talked to Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas: Looking at his own experience inside WTC 7 on 9/11 and the government’s official explanation of those experiences, and realizing that the two do not add up. Jennings and the other 9/11 whistleblowers are those special few who can stand up and say that the emperor is not wearing any clothes.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>JENNINGS</strong>: Well, I’m just confused about one thing and one thing only.

Names and pictures were released to the public and broadcast around the world. Ziad Jarrah. Hani Hanjour. Marwan al-Shehhi. Mohamed Atta. Even before the official story had begun to coalesce, the foreign faces and unfamiliar names flashing across the screens seared themselves into the consciousness of a traumatized public and left little doubt: This attack was the work of Muslim terrorists.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But at the same time, information began to come out that created problems for this narrative. Reports of these devout Muslim fundamentalists <a href="http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a091101beforepinkpony#a091101beforepinkpony" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">drinking alcohol and partying in strip clubs</a>.

And even the testimony of a senior military intelligence official that a counter-terror program had been specifically warned not to investigate Mohamed Atta in the lead-up to 9/11.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>WYATT ANDREWS</strong>: According to Congressman Kurt Weldon, it was a secret Pentagon intelligence unit code named Able Danger that knew a year before 9/11 that lead hijacker Mohamed Atta was in the United States and connected to Al Qaeda.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>CONGRESSMAN KURT WELDON</strong>: And as you can see, they identified Mohamed Atta’s cell.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>ANDREWS</strong>: In the summer of 2000, he says, the Pentagon’s special ops command had identified two terrorist cells inside the US, and knew of the connection between Atta and three other men who became hijackers.

That so many of the visas were issued from a single office may seem like a minor footnote at first glance, but it is not. In fact, the Jeddah consulate is not just another US consular office. It has a history of issuing visas to terrorists at the request of the CIA.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Just ask Michael Springmann.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">J. Michael Springmann was a graduate of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service who joined the Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration, serving as an economic/commercial officer in Stuttgart from 1977 to 1980 and as a commercial attaché in New Delhi from 1980 to 1982. In 1987, having passed the foreign service exam and gone through an orientation program, Springmann was assigned to the Jeddah consulate in Saudi Arabia.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Whatever he was expecting to find awaiting him in his new office, it’s safe to say that it didn’t take long for Springmann to find that the reality was going to be very different. As he writes in his exposé of his time at the Jeddah consulate, <em>Visas for Al Qaeda: CIA Handouts That Rocked the World</em>, “the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was a mysterious and exotic place, but it was nowhere near as exotic and mysterious as the American consulate general on Palestine Road.”</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>J. MICHAEL SPRINGMANN</strong>: Well, when I got to Saudi Arabia I began hearing all kinds of strange things about the problems my predecessor had made for me. I heard this in fact from Walter Cutler, the American ambassador, just before I left. He spent 45 minutes telling me about all the problems that my predecessor Greta Holtz had created, and I thought, “Gee, she’s going to make my career for me!”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And I get to Jeddah and I’m being requested: “It’s your decision of course, Mike, but we have this problem here with this visa and we have an especially good contact and we’d like to have the person get a visa to come to the United States. Can you do it?” And I’d interview them and I’d give them the visa.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And after a while, these people began to be really strange characters that had no ties to either Saudi Arabia or to their own country and I would refuse them. And I would get a rocket from the Consul General, Jay Freres, who’s dead now, about, “Why didn’t you issue the visa? This guy is a good contact.”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I said, “Well, he couldn’t prove he had any ties either to Saudi Arabia or to his own country that was strong enough to make him return from the United States to Saudi Arabia or to his own country.” There’s no set list of contacts and connections, but it’s things like having a job, having businesses, having property, having family, something that would prevent you from staying in the United States and disappearing into the woodwork.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And it got to the point where it was, “Either issue the visa or you’re not going to work for the State Department anymore.” And as time went by I found out that, of some 20 Americans, there were only three, including myself, that I knew for a certainty to work for the Department of State. The rest worked for the CIA or the National Security Agency.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Eventually reassigned as a political/economic officer in Stuttgart and, finally, as an economic analyst for the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, it took years for Springmann to fully comprehend the story that he had found himself in the middle of during his time at the Jeddah consulate. A key piece of that puzzle was provided when Springmann returned to the US and talked to journalist Joseph Trento, who informed him that the Jeddah office was being used by the CIA to ship in Osama Bin Laden’s associates for training in the US.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SPRINGMANN</strong>: So I came across Joe Trento, the journalist, in the middle of all of this, and he said, “Well, what you were doing in Saudi Arabia was issuing visas to the Mujahedin who were being recruited for Afghanistan to fight the Soviets.” And then the penny dropped and my eyes were opened and I said, “Yeah! That explains why they got so ferocious when I said no to these visas and why they stonewalled me when I tried to find out what was going on.”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I was talking formally to people. I talked formally to the Bureau of Consular Affairs when I was in Washington on the advice of the consul for consular affairs in Riyadh. And then I talked to the Congressional Committee on Foreign Affairs for the House of Representatives. I talked to the Government Accountability Office, which is a watchdog for Congress on the executive branch, and got nowhere. People just didn’t want to talk to me.

And according to Joe, the reason they didn’t tell people in Jeddah about this was they wanted plausible deniability. They wanted to be at arm’s length from what people were saying and saying, “Well oh, gee. We didn’t know anything about that. He made a mistake. He didn’t get with the program. He didn’t know what was going on. He was violating the law. Put him in jail.

The CIA had worked with Osama Bin Laden and other so-called “Mujahedin,” including many Saudis who had been drawn to Afghanistan to fight America’s arch-enemy, the Soviets, during the Afghan War. There were <a href="https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/52a1c37869bedd476f5aaefd-750-501.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">glowing articles</a> framing Bin Laden as an “<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/anti-soviet-warrior-puts-his-army-on-the-road-to-peace-the-saudi-businessman-who-recruited-mujahedin-1465715.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Anti-Soviet warrior</a>” who was “on the road to peace” in mainstream publications well into the 1990s.

At the time, the State Department insisted “[t]hey made a mistake” by issuing him a tourist visa from the United States Embassy in Khartoum. But three years later, the truth finally came out. As <em>The New York Times</em> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1993/07/22/nyregion/cia-officers-played-role-in-sheik-visas.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">reported</a> in 1993 after a State Department inspector general investigation: “Central Intelligence Agency officers reviewed all seven applications made by Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman to enter the United States between 1986 and 1990 and only once turned him down because of his connections to terrorism.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">In this context, the revelation that Springmann was being directed by the CIA to let Mujahedin into the US for training was not unthinkable or outlandish conspiracy conjecture. On the contrary, it was practically expected.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">As Springmann himself admits, if he had simply been informed at the time that the CIA was helping to facilitate such an operation in support of their foreign policy goals against the Soviet Union, he probably would have went along with it.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SPRINGMANN</strong>: And you know it goes back to Trento saying, “Well, they wanted somebody—some ‘schlub’ is his word—to be there and take the heat if something went wrong.

What paper trail and travel documents had been left in their wake? How did they obtain their visas to enter the US? Where did they obtain them? When?

Not only had 14 of the alleged hijackers’ visas been obtained from the same Jeddah consulate that the CIA had used to funnel terrorists to the US during Springmann’s tenure, but 12 of those visas were issued by a single consular officer: Shayna Steinger.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">A Columbia University graduate with no apparent foreign service background, Steinger was <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CRECB-1999-pt15/html/CRECB-1999-pt15-Pg20860-5.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">appointed as a consular officer in 1999</a> and arrived in Jeddah for her first foreign service assignment on July 1, 2000.

She was my successor several times removed who was in Jeddah and who had issued visas to 11 of the 15 Saudis who got the visas in Saudi Arabia to go fly airplanes into American buildings. I said, “Wait a minute. What is this?”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">She was hired out of Columbia University with no real background in foreign affairs that I could see at a very high “GS” or foreign service level of about an FSO-4, which is maybe a GS-13, I guess, in the civil service. And she went on for a full 20 years with the State Department and retired, if she in fact worked for State. And after a bit I came across—or, actually, a journalist came across me and said, “Look, I found Shayna Steinger out in Iowa. Do you want to talk to her about your experience and her experience and compare them?”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So I did. I called her up. I found her phone number and she was living with her mother. And we had a bit of a fight to get her to talk to me, and I said, “Look, you either talk to me or I’ll write an article about it.” So she finally broke down and we talked, but only in general terms, saying, “Well, yes, I did the right thing. I did what I was told. They did an investigation. They cleared me.”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And I said, “Well, what was the story? You know, my understanding was they were recruiting terrorists for the Mujahedin to come to the US for training at US military facilities, generally on the East Coast. And they even had 52 recruiting offices in the United States, including one in Washington, D.C., but I could never find any background exactly where they were located.”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And she said, “I didn’t do anything wrong. I just did what I was told.” And it was kind of like talking to my cats sometimes. They were there and they knew you were talking to them but they didn’t give you any real good answers. So the book went out. It’s never been challenged by the government, but it’s gotten me interviewed, such as with you and with a lot of September 11th people.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Like so many of the 9/11 whistleblowers, Springmann paid a heavy price for his desire to tell the truth. His refusal to bow to the CIA and issue visas to unqualified applicants during his time at Jeddah, his refusal to stop asking questions about the operation he had been involved in after he was transferred elsewhere, and his refusal to stop speaking about the visas for Al Qaeda long after he left the State Department have had drastic repercussions on his career and his personal life.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SPRINGMANN</strong>: Once I was out of State I found I couldn’t get a job anywhere. I mean, I spoke several languages to a greater or lesser extent, I had experience working on three continents, I knew how to manage offices. I couldn’t get a job, and I got the impression after a bit that I was being blacklisted.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So I hired one of these resume checking services out in California and asked them to ask around. So they called up Day Mount and pretended to be someone hiring me and wanted to know how I was as an employee in Jeddah and what he thought of me and could he think of anything that special that I had done. And he said, “Well, I can’t think of anything really right off the bat,” and he came up with these weasel-worded responses to their questions, which gave the impression that, no, you shouldn’t hire this guy. But he didn’t come out and say that, but it was by implication very, very clear that Mike Springmann is not to be touched.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So then I went to law school and worked at getting a job after law school. I started asking around when I was in law school. I interned in various organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union. I talked to various national security organizations and found out that I couldn’t get a job again to save my soul.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">[. . .]</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I tried writing. I tried everything I could think of. And while collecting unemployment I was told to issue them reports on how many people I talk to during the week, and I would send page after page after page in of companies I applied to that I had hoped would fit my talents and abilities, but got nowhere.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So I figured, you know, the government is still in there pitching, trying to keep me out of any kind of a gainful employment, because that’s how you get rid of people permanently. They don’t have any money, they can take your house, you have no money to do anything except put food on the table, if you can. So it was a very nasty few years.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And for all of this sacrifice, we are still no closer to learning the truth about the Jeddah consulate and the CIA operations there than we were two decades ago. That 14 of the 19 alleged hijackers received their visas from the same office—12 from the same consular officer—is just the start of a deep and largely unexplored rabbit hole that brings not just the travel patterns or the intelligence connections but the very identity of those suspects into question.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Biographical details and pictures of <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/911timeline/main/essayjarrah.html" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">two separate Ziad Jarrahs</a> have been released to the public, and in fact multiple photographs of a number of the alleged hijackers appear to be pictures of entirely different people.

It is only through the story of people like Mike Springmann that we can begin removing those layers of lies and obfuscations from the story of 9/11 and come to a better understanding of the truth.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And, in the end, that idea—that we <em>can</em> get closer to the truth, that wrongs <em>can</em> be righted and lies exposed—is the idea that motivates whistleblowers like Mike Springmann. Whistleblowers who have come forward at great personal expense to shine light on these long-buried and inconvenient truths.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SPRINGMANN</strong>: I think, you know, I have to look at what I did and look at myself, and, as the story goes, look at your face in the mirror every morning. But I’ve been reading some emails sent to me by a good lawyer contact, lobbyist and attorney, on stoicism. And there have been things from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and other folks. And one of the things that I saw was their comment that—<em>memento mori</em>—that you expect to die and you don’t fear death. You don’t look forward to death, but at the end of the day you think, “Well, what have I done this day, the last day that might be the rest of my life? I may not wake up tomorrow morning. Have I balanced the accounts? Have I done something of substance? Have I tried to rectify a wrong.

Indeed, of the many stories of selflessness and courage to have emerged from that fateful day, it would be difficult to find one more heroic than that of William Rodriguez, dubbed the “last man out” because, as a janitor holding a master key to the buildings, he risked his life till the very moment of the Tower’s destruction, helping those trapped inside the Towers to escape.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RAMON TAYLOR</strong>: William Rodriguez was working as a janitor at the World Trade Center when the towers were attacked. Using a master key, he ran to open as many doors as he could before exiting and becoming buried alive.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>WILLIAM RODRIGUEZ</strong>: So they started looking under the rubble, and once I got pulled from under the rubble I was—after, I was in shock. Why? Because I couldn’t find any of those buildings.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CLdzfM8l1w" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">9/11 Survivor Recounts His Experience</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>SADE BADERINWA</strong>: Rodriguez had one of only five master keys to unlock the doors in the middle stairwell and lead firefighters up floor by floor.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: So I went and I picked up the man in the wheelchair and I started going down.

It is the reason that Rodriguez’ master key was so crucial to getting people out.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: It was hard. The amount of heat that was generated because of the fire was coming down. The smoke . . . It was an acrid smoke because you could feel it on your throat.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>REPORTER</strong>: He saw firefighters carrying a hundred pounds’ worth of equipment on their backs waiting for a freight elevator that would never come. That elevator was demolished. So Rodriguez led them up another way, using a back pathway that only he knew. After the sky lobby collapsed he finally listened to police, who told him to get out. He was not prepared for what he was about to see.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: When I look around I find all the bodies of the people that jump out of the building.

Not only has he been interviewed for dozens of news programs and reports on the events of September 11, 2001, and been featured as a spokesman for the survivors at multiple events and on many reports, he has also been awarded for his courage that day and even invited to a White House dinner, where he was honored by President Bush for his bravery.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But carefully curated from most mainstream reports on Rodriguez’ remarkable story is an equally remarkable fact: This 9/11 hero is in fact a 9/11 whistleblower, someone who has contradicted the official story of the September 11th attacks from day one. According to Rodriguez, the first explosion that he felt that day was <em>not</em> the impact of the plane nearly 100 stories above him, but an explosion below him, from one of the sub-basement levels.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: That morning I was supposed to be there at 8 o’clock in the morning every day. I called my supervisor because I was not going to work, I was gonna take a sick day. Made it there at 8:30 in the morning, go straight to the lobby, down to the basement.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">The building has six sub-levels of basement: B1, B2 . . . all the way down to B6. Basement six, basement five, all the way up to basement one were all Port Authority areas. Some of them have parking for tenants, some of them have storage. B1 office . . . B1 level is where they have the support office for my company, the cleaning company, American Building Maintenance.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So I was talking to the supervisor, and at 8:46 we hear “BOOM!” An explosion <em>so hard</em> that pushed us <em>upwards</em> in the air. <em>Upwards</em>. And it came out from below us. From the mechanical room that was right below us. And it was so loud and so powerful that all the walls cracked, the false ceiling fell on top of us, the sprinkler system got activated, and everybody started screaming so loud because they didn’t know what was going on.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And the first thing I’m going to say is that a generator just blew up on the B2 level—the level below me. And everybody’s screaming. And when I’m going to verbalize it, six to seven seconds after, we hear “BAH!” The impact all the way on the top of the building of the plane.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Two different events separated by almost seven seconds. Separated by time. And now, I work in the building for 20 years. I know the difference of the sound coming from the top and one from the bottom.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So when everybody started—”What the heck is going on?”—a person comes running into the office saying, “Explosion! Explosion!” His hands extended, all the skin pulled from under his armpits on both arms. Hanging! And we thought it was clothing—it was part of his clothes—until he gets closer. He was coming like this, like a zombie. “Explosion! Explosion!” And when I looked at him, I realized it was his skin. Like when you take off a glove and you let it hang. And when I get to see his face, all this part was hanging off his face and everybody started screaming in horror. And I say, “Don’t move!” The guy was a black guy named Felipe David. Worked for a company called Aramark.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIZtqKiidlo" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">William Rodriguez’s story</a><br /></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Rodriguez’ story provides startling and credible eyewitness testimony that undermines the official myth that there were no explosives in the Twin Towers that morning. Rodriguez is insistent on a number of points: That there was a loud and distinct noise at 8:46 AM, that it came from <em>beneath</em> them in the sub-basement level and blew them <em>upwards</em>, and that it notably <em>preceded</em> the sound of the plane impact above them. This has led Rodriguez to conclude that there was an explosion in the sub-basement <em>before</em> the plane impacted the North Tower, something which the 9/11 Commission and other official government investigations into the attacks denies.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And, importantly, Rodriguez has been telling this same story—including the same detail about Felipe David—since the day of 9/11 itself.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>AARON BROWN</strong>: William Rodriguez is a maintenance worker at the Trade Center, I believe. In any case, he’s on the phone with us now. Mr. Rodriguez, can you hear me?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: Yes, I can hear you clearly.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>BROWN</strong>: Tell me where you were when—well, which of the two buildings were you in?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: I work on the Building One.

And we hear like a big rumble—not like an impact, like a rumble—like something . . . like moving furniture on a massive way. And all of a sudden we hear another rumble and a guy comes running—running—into our office, and all his skin was off his body. All his skin. We went crazy. We started screaming. We told him to get out. We took everybody out of the office, outside to the loading dock area. And then I went back in. And when I went back in I saw people—I heard people that were stuck on an elevator—on a freight elevator, because all the elevators went down. And water was going in and they were probably getting drowned. And we get a couple of pipes and open the elevator and we got the people out.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQk3XXBot9c" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">William Rodriguez interview, CNN, 13:33, 9/11</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">If it were only William Rodriguez who heard, saw and experienced explosions inside the Twin Towers that morning, then such testimony would be easy enough to rationalize away.

Rather than a progressive collapse due to fire and burning jet fuel, these stories suggest that what was happening inside the Twin Towers that morning was in fact a series of explosive events. Explosive events that were powerful enough to cause internal collapses within the buildings well below the points of the plane impact and fires, and even, according to multiple witnesses, events that <em>preceded</em> the impact of the plane.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">But is there more systematic and rigorously collected evidence of these explosions? Is there a repository of such testimony that would confirm what Rodriguez and many others have affirmed since the day of 9/11 itself: namely, that there <em>were</em> explosions taking place inside the buildings that morning?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">In fact, there <em>is</em> such a repository. In the wake of 9/11, New York Fire Commissioner Thomas Von Essen ordered the <a href="https://www.ae911truth.org/images//PDFs/090116-118Witnesses.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">collection of oral testimony</a> from firefighters, paramedics and emergency medical technicians who responded to the attacks that morning. That collection, amounting to more than 12,000 pages of testimony from 503 people, was then promptly sealed. It took a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/12/nyregion/city-to-release-thousands-oforal-histories-of-911-today.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">lawsuit and four years of court battle</a> for the collection to be finally released to the public.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">One of the researchers who spent time poring over that testimony was Graeme MacQueen, a retired associate professor at McMaster University and the former director of that university’s Peace Studies Center. What he found in that repository of oral history, and presented in a <a href="http://www.journalof911studies.com/articles/Article_5_118Witnesses_WorldTradeCenter.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">scholarly article for <em>The Journal of 9/11 Studies</em></a>, was an unmistakable pattern: Time after time, these first responders reported experiencing explosions in the Twin Towers. Explosions that cannot be accounted for in NIST’s official explanation of the towers’ destruction.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>GRAEME MACQUEEN</strong>: There is other eyewitness explosion evidence that corroborates Rodriguez, at least in a general way. Meaning that there were people talking about explosions in the basement. There were lots of people talking about tremendous explosions and fire in some of the elevators—blowing the doors off elevators.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And some of this testimony can be found on the internet. I found some of it in the FDNY oral histories. You know, firefighters talking about the doors being blown off elevators.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And so there was some kind of very destructive event. Also the windows in the lobby, which were very strong windows, were blown out by the time most of the firefighters got there. And as one of them said, it looked like a plane hit the lobby.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">There were other explosions that went off over the next hour or so, before the buildings started to come down. And when they came down, there were patterns of explosion from around the point of plane impact all the way down. Apparently we were supposed to believe that the building was coming down because of structural failure. But again, these were timed very well to go off in a particular way.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">This is one of the reasons we know that these <em>were</em> explosions and that this <em>was</em> a controlled demolition. There were patterns. And they were explosions that were extremely strong, taking out these massive buildings and pulverizing them in less than 20 seconds. This was not structural failure.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Rodriguez’ story was not some fanciful invention that he spun during the most dramatic and horrific hours of his life; it is a story that fits into a pattern of explosive testimony related by many other witnesses that day. It is also a story that is deeply uncomfortable for those in the government and the media who were eager to celebrate the acts of bravery New Yorkers committed that day, but who will never report the explosive truth about the events at the World Trade Center that demolishes the official government conspiracy theory of 9/11.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">It is remarkable that Rodriguez, immediately recognized and celebrated for his heroism on that day, would continue to insist on his story even as the official story—the one that insisted there were no explosives used that day—began to take shape. But he did. For years, Rodriguez used his speaking opportunities on mainstream media and at memorials and commemoration events to inform the public about explosions in the Twin Towers that morning.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Unsurprisingly, despite the attention and accolades he received for his remarkable story in the early days of 9/11, he soon found himself becoming <em>persona non grata</em> in the mainstream media because he refused to go along with the official lies about what happened that morning.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: It says, “Safety Fire Department of New York.”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>ANASTASIA CHURKINA</strong>: A rescue jacket he wore over his torn shirt.

Known as the “last man out” before the World Trade Center collapsed, his unlikely story had the media glued to him like bees to honey. Becoming a voice for the victims, Rodriguez was honored as an American hero, only to be left homeless in the aftermath of the tragedy.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: Funny thing: I will give the 800 number on camera, and when I called the 800 number they denied me the help.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>CHURKINA</strong>: And shunned by the mainstream media soon after.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: Censorship.

He has even taken the fight for 9/11 Truth to the political arena, forcing the government’s hand in convening a public commission to investigate the attacks, something that the Bush administration fought tooth and nail to prevent.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: The 9/11 Commission is a book of 576 pages . . . 576 pages of lies. Because the 9/11 Commission exists because I went with three other people to Congress to ask that we wanted a formal investigation of the events of 9/11. And you may remember that the president said, “We don’t need an investigation. We know who did it.” That was the wrong thing to say to the families. We had the right and we wanted to know. So we pressed for an investigation. They didn’t want it.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">So we used a technique that they have used against a lot of the people with the excuse of the war. We put widows, we put wives, we put fathers that love their loved ones on every television show and every news network to ask for an investigation. And they couldn’t handle the emotional toll that that will create on the American public. So we got the investigation.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">I testified behind closed doors. They didn’t want me to do the testimony in an open hearing. Everything else—everybody else—open hearings. You saw the hearings. Mine was behind closed—I agreed because I did not know what was the process and I thought up to that point that they were going to do the right thing.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">We created a family steering committee and we gave the Commission 168 questions to answer. We only have 22 of those questions answered. We wanted to have a family member to be part of the Commission, and they say, “We don’t want to allow that because they will have access to national security papers” and a lot of flimflam and baloney. We never got it. So we have to press for questions to be answered. We never got those answers.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Up to that point we thought that they were going to do the right thing. The final report shows up . . . What a surprise! My whole testimony was omitted. It doesn’t appear. 27 people that I gave them to interrogate, they didn’t call them. Not even one of them.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQq96Oh2hEI" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">What Really happened on 9/11? – William Rodriguez</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">That the 9/11 Commission’s work was subverted and undermined by conflicts of interest and deliberate cover-up is perhaps to be expected. But the efforts of people like William Rodriguez have been instrumental in advocating for those left quite literally in the dust of 9/11. Those whose stories are too problematic for the official 9/11 narrative to be given any credence or attention.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">As Graeme MacQueen points out, the story told by William Rodriguez and the other witnesses to explosions in the Twin Towers that day is not a peripheral issue or a minor footnote in the story of 9/11. On the contrary, it is of central importance. Either Rodriguez and the other witnesses to explosions independent of the planes and fires are wrong, or they are right. And if they are right, we are forced to the conclusion that the official story of 9/11 is not just <em>mistaken</em>, but that it is a deliberate fraud that has been perpetrated on the American public—and the broader public around the world—for nearly two decades.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>MACQUEEN</strong>: Well, that would obviously indicate that somehow this building was wired for explosions and that there had been a plan made in advance of the plane attacks to destroy this building. And that means the official story about, you know, Mohamed Atta and the other 18 hijackers flying planes is an incorrect story.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">That it indicates that there was—to use the classic word—an inside job. Somehow, insiders—deep insiders—got in the building and readied it for annihilation on that day. It also indicates that the story we’ve been told is false, and really knowingly false. Because, of course, Rodriguez and many other eyewitnesses to explosions were ignored, or silenced, or lied about by the official investigating agencies. Which means that the whole 9/11 story is a fraud.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Ultimately, the story of Rodriguez is important, not just for what it tells us about the official 9/11 narrative, or even for what it tells us about the way that power operates in society. It is important because it shows us what ordinary men and women are capable of in extreme situations. It reminds us that, in times of distress, we are still capable of coming together to help those around us. And it provides us with an example of someone who will not stop telling his truth, even when it becomes unpopular.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>RODRIGUEZ</strong>: Our wounds are still open. We’re still hurting. We’re still going through the process of traumatic shock syndrome—PTSD.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">You call me a hero, I call myself a survivor. For me, the heroes died on 9/11, in my opinion, because they died helping others. I just had the only tool available for me at that time to do great things, so I was—I’m a survivor. I have that survival skill. Why did I survive and my friends didn’t?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">And now, 16 years after, it hits me stronger because I see the families. I see new families that came out from people that I saved and I always wonder, you know, what would have happened if those people that I lost—those 200 friends—will be alive today. It hits you. It hits you hard. So 16 years after, we’re still dealing with the backlash of what happened on that day.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">9/11 changed me. It changed the world. We all know that. But it changed me in more ways than I expected.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aOi7DVnXL0" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">The MSM Censored Full Story of William Rodriguez</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><b> The Commissioners</b></p></div>

Bush, who dragged his heels a full 441 days before finally establishing a body to investigate the events of September 11, 2001, and “to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding” them. But that remarkable gap between the events and the empaneling of the Commission was not due to mere laziness; Bush <a href="https://archive.is/arUyp" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">actively resisted</a> any investigation for as long as he could, taking the extraordinary and unprecedented step of personally asking Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to <a href="https://archive.is/vEPzy" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">limit Congress’ investigation</a> into those events.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">It was only when the political pressure to form a commission of inquiry became too great for Bush to resist that he authorized the commission and nominated a chairman: Henry Kissinger.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>PRESIDENT BUSH</strong>: Today I’m pleased to announce my choice for commission chairman: Dr. Henry Kissinger.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>REPORTER</strong>: Dr. Kissinger, do you have any concerns about once the commission begins it work and fingers point to valuable allies—say, Saudi Arabia for example—what policy implications could this have for the United States, particularly at this delicate time?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>HENRY KISSINGER</strong>: I have been given every assurance by the President that we should go where the facts lead us.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><strong>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwL-i0G7Zq8&feature=youtu.be&t=35" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">Henry Kissinger and the 9/11 Commission</a></strong></em></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Kissinger’s reputation as a cover-up artist and tool of the political establishment was such that <a href="https://archive.is/i4afd" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">even <em>The New York Times</em> speculated</a> that Bush’s nomination of him showed that the president wanted to contain the investigation into 9/11, not enable it. 9/11 victims’ family members, similarly concerned that Kissinger was being appointed to run a cover-up commission, challenged him to his face to release the client list of his political consulting business.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>NARRATOR:</strong> Several family members approached Kissinger and requested a meeting at his office in New York.

In 2009 he remarked that 9/11 was a “30-year old conspiracy,” but no mainstream reporter has ever followed up with him to clarify this statement.</p><blockquote style="background: rgb(245, 245, 245); color: #666666; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 15px 20px 1px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>JEREMY ROTHE-KUSHEL</strong>: Do you support a criminal investigation into 9/11?

Even <em>more</em> remarkable is that this fact has never even been mentioned, let alone examined, in any mainstream media report. And, despite the fact that the <em>majority</em> of Americans believe the government is concealing what it knows about the events of September 11th from the public, to this day anyone who raises questions about the Commission or its findings is treated as a conspiratorial loony by those same media personalities who refuse to report on the 9/11 Commission’s own whistleblowers.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">It should be apparent by this point that the old argument that “someone would have talked” is not just fallacious, but factually incorrect. There have, in fact, been numerous whistleblowers with documentable evidence of the frauds and fictions that have been constructed around the official 9/11 narrative. Their disclosures put the “but someone would have talked” doubters in an uncomfortable predicament: Either they are lazy—boldly pronouncing on issues they have not themselves bothered to investigate—or they are lying.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">What is especially galling when the so-called “skeptics” use the “someone would have talked” fallacy is that the whistleblowers have in fact done everything possible to publicize their stories—holding press conferences, filing formal appeals, joining whistleblower organizations, and making themselves available for interviews. For their heroic efforts, these brave men and women have been fired from their jobs, shunned by former colleagues, smeared by the mainstream media, and ignored by the public.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Lora, georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">“Someone would have talked.” Indeed, numerous “someones” have talked. Some of them have even screamed. But when their cries are ignored, the stories of the 9/11 whistleblowers sound like the proverbial trees falling in the forest with no one around to hear them. Unless and until we give these valiant men and women a voice, then we will never hope to learn the truth about 9/11.</p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781421592654848138.post-33257781284335318822022-09-13T23:58:00.002-07:002022-09-16T11:29:39.964-07:00Incontrovertible<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzYk6Vqnd70uAaifRdEdbpR3zdp9zoQnXy_2udjDnoOCkwv-sTDfmDxBpk2IqK9Opy3whz2ociwZvUJjrlac_PmnRARlqktIaplLb-6tGsdopMzdru6f3KUp0MpX5Vznc9VfEKBMOBPn2I7RQsk9jxDeUw03-q-2SJ_NKRpMRq5PQ4lLGfw_-00u7JLQ/s1526/MV5BNTgzZmJjMzgtOGEwMC00M2ViLThkZDEtMzIwMjViNjkzMGZkXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTg1MjMxMDA@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1526" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzYk6Vqnd70uAaifRdEdbpR3zdp9zoQnXy_2udjDnoOCkwv-sTDfmDxBpk2IqK9Opy3whz2ociwZvUJjrlac_PmnRARlqktIaplLb-6tGsdopMzdru6f3KUp0MpX5Vznc9VfEKBMOBPn2I7RQsk9jxDeUw03-q-2SJ_NKRpMRq5PQ4lLGfw_-00u7JLQ/s320/MV5BNTgzZmJjMzgtOGEwMC00M2ViLThkZDEtMzIwMjViNjkzMGZkXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTg1MjMxMDA@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Wederom een 911 documentaire, nu van Tony Rooke.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/91emCPl-vTU" width="320" youtube-src-id="91emCPl-vTU"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
