Calls for truly independent investigation, joins growing ranks of prominent credible whistleblowers

Actor
Charlie Sheen has joined a growing army of other highly credible public
figures in questioning the official story of 9/11 and calling for a new
independent investigation of the attack and the circumstances
surrounding it.
Over the
past two years, scores of highly regarded individuals have gone public
to express their serious doubts about 9/11. These include former
presidential advisor and CIA analyst Ray McGovern, the father of Reaganomics and former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Paul Craig Roberts, BYU physics Professor Steven Jones, former German defense minister Andreas von Buelow, former MI5 officer David Shayler, former Blair cabinet member Michael Meacher, former Chief Economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds and many more.
Speaking
to The Alex Jones Show on the GCN Radio Network, the star of current
hit comedy show Two and a Half Men and dozens of movies including
Platoon and Young Guns, Sheen elaborated on why he had problems
believing the government's version of events.
Sheen
agreed that the biggest conspiracy theory was put out by the government
itself and prefaced his argument by quoting Theodore Roosevelt in
stating, "That we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not
only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American public."
"We're not the conspiracy theorists on this particular issue," said Sheen.
"It
seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four
commercial airliners and hitting 75% of their targets, that feels like
a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions."
Sheen
described the climate of acceptance for serious discussion about 9/11
as being far more fertile than it was a couple of years ago.
"It feels like from the people I talk to in and around my circles, it seems like the worm is turning."
Suspicious collapse of buildings
Sheen
described his immediate skepticism regarding the official reason for
the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 on the day of 9/11.
"I
was up early and we were gonna do a pre-shoot on Spin City, the show I
used to do, I was watching the news and the north tower was burning. I
saw the south tower hit live, that famous wide shot where it disappears
behind the building and then we see the tremendous fireball."
"There
was a feeling, it just didn't look any commercial jetliner I've flown
on any time in my life and then when the buildings came down later on
that day I said to my brother 'call me insane, but did it sorta look
like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition'?"
Sheen
said that most people's gut instinct, that the buildings had been
deliberately imploded, was washed away by the incessant flood of the
official version of events from day one.
Sheen
questioned the plausibility of a fireballs traveling 1100 feet down an
elevator shaft and causing damage to the lobbies of the towers as seen
in video footage, especially when contrasted with eyewitness accounts of bombs and explosions in the basement levels of the buildings.
Regarding
building 7, which wasn't hit by a plane, Sheen highlighted the use of
the term "pull," a demolition industry term for pulling the outer walls
of the building towards the center in an implosion, as was used by Larry Silverstein in a September 2002 PBS documentary
when he said that the decision to "pull" building 7 was made before its
collapse. This technique ensures the building collapses in its own
footprint and can clearly be seen during the collapse of building 7
with the classic 'crimp' being visible.
The highly suspicious collapse of building 7 and the twin towers has previously been put under the spotlight by physics Professor Steven Jones and Kevin Ryan
of Underwriters Laboratories, the company that certified the steel
components used in the construction of the World Trade Center towers.
"The term 'pull' is as common to the demolition world as 'action and 'cut' are to the movie world," said Sheen.
Sheen referenced firefighters in the buildings who were eyewitnesses to demolition style implosions and bombs.
"This
is not you or I watching the videos and speculating on what we saw,
these are gentlemen inside the buildings at the very point of collapse."
"If there's a problem with building 7 then there's a problem with the whole thing," said Sheen.
Bush's behavior on 9/11
Sheen
then questioned President Bush's actions on 9/11 and his location at
the Booker Elementary School in Florida. Once Andy Card had whispered
to Bush that America was under attack why didn't the secret service
immediately whisk Bush away to a secret location?
By
remaining at a location where it was publicly known the President would
be before 9/11, he was not only putting his own life in danger, but the
lives of hundreds of schoolchildren. That is unless the government knew
for sure what the targets were beforehand and that President Bush
wasn't one of them.
"It
seems to me that upon the revelation of that news that the secret
service would grab the President as if he was on fire and remove him
from that room," said Sheen.
The
question of how Bush saw the first plane hit the north tower, when no
live footage of that incident was carried, an assertion that Bush
repeated twice, was also put under the spotlight.
"I
guess one of the perks of being President is that you get access to TV
channels that don't exist in the known universe," said Sheen.
"It might lead you to believe that he'd seen similar images in some type of rehearsal as it were, I don't know."
The Pentagon incident
Sheen outlined his disbelief that the official story of what happened at the Pentagon matched the physical evidence.
"Show
us this incredible maneuvering, just show it to us. Just show us how
this particular plane pulled off these maneuvers. 270 degree turn at
500 miles and hour descending 7,000 feet in two and a half minutes,
skimming across treetops the last 500 meters."
We
have not been able to confirm that a large commercial airliner hit the
Pentagon because the government has seized and refused to release any
footage that would show the impact.
"I
understand in the interest of national security that maybe not release
the Pentagon cameras but what about the Sheraton, what about the gas
station, what about the Department of Transportation freeway cam? What
about all these shots that had this thing perfectly documented? Instead
they put out five frames that they claim not to have authorized, it's
really suspicious," said Sheen.
Sheen
also questioned how the plane basically disappeared into the Pentagon
with next to no wreckage and no indication of what happened to the wing
sections.
Concerning how
the Bush administration had finalized Afghanistan war plans two days
before 9/11 with the massing of 44,000 US troops and 18,000 British
troops in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, and in addition the call for "some
catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor," as
outlined in the PNAC documents,
Sheen stated, "you don't really put those strategies together overnight
do you for a major invasion? Those are really well calculated and
really well planned."
"Coincidence? We think not," said Sheen and he called the PNAC quotes "emblematic of the arrogance of this administration."
A real investigation
Sheen joined others in calling for a revised and truly independent investigation of 9/11.
Sheen
said that "September 11 wasn't the Zapruder film, it was the Zapruder
film festival," and that the inquiry had to be, "headed, if this is
possible, by some neutral investigative committee. What if we used
retired political foreign nationals? What if we used experts that don't
have any ties whatsoever to this administration?"
"It
is up to us to reveal the truth. It is up to us because we owe it to
the families, we owe it to the victims. We owe it to everybody's life
who was drastically altered, horrifically that day and forever. We owe
it to them to uncover what happened."
Charlie
Sheen joins the rest of his great family and notably his father Martin
Sheen, who has lambasted for opposing the Iraq war before it had begun
yet has now been proven right in triplicate, in using his prominent
public platform to stand for truth and justice and we applaud and
salute his brave efforts, remembering Mark Twain's quote.
"In
the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated,
and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for
then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
