Dr. Hans Koechler: 9/11 May Have Been an Inside Job
- Text size

Scoop
February 21, 2008
In a significant observation many time UN contributor & international observer Professor Hans Koechler said “9/11 may have been an insider’s job” in response to a question from one of the delegates attending his lecture The ‘Global War on Terror – Contradictions of an Imperial Strategy’ last night at the Trades Hall in Auckland.
“I am not a boy-I am 59. There are many inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the official version of events. Those who could not handle a Cessna pulled off 9/11,” he said.
But he was quick to note that the official version has to be challenged. Quoting David Ray Griffin he said these events, in terms of destruction caused, these incidents cannot have been exclusively organized by a shadowy network of Mujahedeen from the remote places of the globe.
The causes officially given for the incidents are not a sufficient explanation for what actually happened on that day, especially as regards the logistics of this highly sophisticated operation and the very advanced infrastructure required for it.
He has published more than 300 books, reports and scholarly articles in several languages. In his book The Global War on Terror and the Metaphysical Enemy he writes the atrocities of September 11, 2001- Instead of dealing with the contradictions and inconsistencies in the official version of events and the numerous gaps in terms of the factual information, a “dogma of political correctness” has been promulgated according to which 19 Islamic-inspired Arab hijackers, directed by an elusive “Al-Qaeda” (“base”), succeeded in carrying out the atrocities all by themselves.

During the course of his lecture he recalled the detailed and precise questions asked on 11 January 2008 by Yukihisa Fujita, member of Japan’s House of Councillors (Senate) and Director of the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence, about the 9/11 attacks as the origin of the war on terror are a rare exception.
The total silence about Mr. Fujita’s intervention before the Committee, that was broadcast live on Japan’s public NHK television channel, in the Western corporate media is a telling example of the lack of courage in front a powerful political establishment. Thus, a rather docile and obviously opportunistic intellectual élite in the West, in tandem with client régimes in the Muslim world, has effectively silenced – or at least marginalized – critical opinion.
Against this bleak – geopolitical as well as civilizational – background we can basically identify two desiderata of international politics in the framework of the increasing alienation between Islam and the West, which accompanies the confrontation over the “global war on terror”:
The countries of the West, “assembled,” to varying degrees of intensity and loyalty, around the United States as the imperial hegemon, have to realize that they are about to embark upon an unwinnable test of wills: a conflict that cannot be ended in (conventional) military terms and that will, if not contained by means of multilateral diplomacy, completely absorb the “political energies” and exhaust, to a considerable extent, the resources even of advanced industrial societies.
At the same time, they have to correct and eventually reverse the process of “civilizational alienation” vis à- vis Islam for which they are responsible in important respects. There is a need, as then Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, has put it, “to unlearn the stereotypes that have become so entrenched in so many minds and so much of the media.”
Since 1972, UN Secretaries-General in their statements subsequently acknowledged Professor Köchler’s contributions to international peace. In April 2000, Secretary-General Kofi Annan appointed Professor Koechler as international observer at the Scottish Court in the Netherlands (Lockerbie Trial).

He said “up to the present day, the government of the United Kingdom has rejected calls for a public inquiry into the circumstances of the explosion of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on 21 December 1989. As international observer, appointed by the United Nations, of the Lockerbie trial in the Netherlands I have outlined the flaws in the proceedings and called for a revision of the court’s verdict.”
Eventually, in June 2007, the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission, apparently sharing the author’s original concerns, referred the case back to the appeal court.
He pointed out the sentencing of a lone intelligence officer from Libya for the downing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which has caused the death of 270 people. While this individual most likely is not guilty as charged, i.e. is not the one who inserted the bomb onto the plane via Malta and Frankfurt (according to the “Opinion of the Court”: The High Court of Justiciary at Camp Zeist, Case No: 1475/99, 31 January 2001), no efforts have been made to date to comprehensively investigate the midair explosion and prosecute the actual perpetrators. The U.K. and U.S. governments have both rejected a public inquiry into the circumstances of this incident, thus preventing efficient measures against possible acts of terrorism against civil aviation in the future.
Prof Koechler is the Founder and President of the International Progress Organization (I.P.O.), an international non-governmental organization (NGO) in consultative status with the United Nations and with a membership in over 70 countries, representing all continents.
Through his research and international activities, Professor Koechler made major contributions to the debate on international democracy and United Nations reform, in particular reform of the Security Council. This was acknowledged by international figures such as the German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel. In 1985, Professor Koechler organized the first major colloquium on “Democracy in International Relations” on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the United Nations in New York. With Irish Nobel Laureate Seán MacBride he initiated the Appeal by Lawyers against Nuclear War, which set in motion an international campaign that eventually led to a General Assembly resolution and the issuing of an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice. As President of the I.P.O., he dealt with the humanitarian issues of the exchange of prisoners of war between Iran and Iraq and with the issue of Kuwaiti POWs and missing people in Iraq.

“May” have been? Are they trying NOT to alarm people? “Certainly was” works better and fits as good as the glove of the real story. There is no OJ’ing this shi#

That’s (PM) Fukuda, not (MP) Fujita! Better check it — that’s not the cat on the video with the Pentagon pics.

Another book devoid of actual evidence to throw into the fireplace. What amazes me more is the amount of Americans that still believe 9/11 was executed by the medieval version of the A-Team & that Islamic terrorist cells are plotting our demise in mosques across the country. Those are the same weak-minded people that applaud the Patriot Act and Guantanamo Bay–they’re like lemmings following the war machine into oblivion.

9/11 was definately an inside black op and possibly a freemasonic plot against the american public

You guys act like this was some super high tech job. They hijacked planes and crashed them into buildings. Not high tech.
February 27th, 2008 at 11:27 am
not high tech,all the military did with their tech is turn and run.
They must have had high tech to know the military would be running a training operation at the same time.
They must have had high tech equipment to take down a building that was not touched by a plane,note Silverstein, ‘we decided to pull it…’
They must have had high tech to inform the bbc (small caps) that this building was going to fall well before it did.
They must have had high tech for amateurs to fly planes into 2 buildings, I watched krypton factor as a youngster.
They must have high tech to fly planes into buildings and then many appear alive later in other countries
They must have high tech to make 2 planes disappear after crash landing
They must have had high tech to know there would be training operation at the same time as 7/7.
They must have high tech to avoid bin laden (al C.I.A.da) being caught yet…
They must have high tech.
ranting again, laters peeps

Pass that pipe this way! I want to be satisfied with that mindset too! First I gotta be able to not think though. Otherwise, all of the inconsistancies get to clouding my mind. Then, maybe, I won’t realize the questions asked (that are important) receive only non-answers or complete non-sense answers. Then you may tell me how low-tech jumbo jet operations are. Watching a building/target come at you straight on mildly technical. Seeing a spot/target on the ground, bypassing it and turning completly around for your attack run, highly technical. Fitting an airliner, the body of which is 24 feet wide, into a hole 16 feet wide. Leaving practically no sizable wreckage nor proportional fire damage from 8600gallons of burning jet fuel to speak of, THIS IS WHERE IT GETS SUPER HIGH TECH!!

ThankaMarineForYourFreedom: Let me ask you something. Why is there an industry such as controlled demolition? Why does such an industry even exist? I’ll tell you why. Because buildings that fall without controlled demolition, do not fall in a predictable (controlled) manner, right into their own foundations. If this physical reaction could be counted on, such an industry would have no reason to exist. We could just blow up a portion of the building, and it would politely drop straight down into its own basement. But such isn’t the case in the real world. Physics simply do not allow it.
But, on 9-11 three buildings simply defied these laws, right? And one of them was never touched by a plane. Can you explain how building 7 acted the same way after its owner said to “pull it”? By the way, “pull it” is a term used by controlled demolitions teams to signal the go ahead to demolish a building…by controlled demolition.
Come on, brother. Have the courage to admit that YOUR govermnent IS Evil enough to bend you over…and, apparently, make you enjoy it.
Enjoy your servitude.

Marine…
You make a great point! Jumbo jets are low tech.
your knowledge and wisdumb is boundless…
February 27th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Bring it on –
Try to keep up. What do you know about jet aircraft? Very little obviously. Do you know what makes modern aircraft “high tech?” It is the processing of information and the computer systems abilities on board to take over and assist in flight operations. The most difficult part of a flight, and the greatest risk for crash happen during takeoff and landing. Someone else got the plane airborne, and since they crashed the planes into buildings, there was no landing. I have yet to hear any report claiming that once the hijackers took over the planes, there was a smooth and consistent flight pattern, in fact, it has been stated that it was quite erractic with frequent descent and ascent. Anyone that has a basic knowledge of the flight systems can program waypoints into the computer to allow for the pilot to maintain a reasonable heading toward a destination. The fact that these planes are so “high tech” makes it more plausible that the hijackers could pull this off. You are the only morons that believe this was a high tech operation. Using a commercial jet as a missle, is low tech.

Buildings do not chop themselves up and spontaneously fall straight down into their own foot prints from fire or structural failure. Random fire and structural failure are never symetrical. Achieving symetrical collapse of buildings requires planning.
February 27th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
ThankaMarineForYourFreedom (nice name btw whatever that means) You understand the fact that ther people might have different opinons than such an enlightened person as yourself ? is that low-tech enough for you ? thankamarineforwarcrimes PEACE
February 28th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Boundless, yes…..very!!! Responding to the bell once again! By the way jarhead, are you the same Marine Corps thats going to defend us from own corrupt govt.? They play you guys like the puppets you really are and your too stupid to even realize it! As an old school Ex-Marine, were fighting the wrong terrorists…..the real ones are in DC!
February 28th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Taking a commercial jet and using it as a missle isn’t high tech at all. But when you remote control a commercial jet and use it as a remote controlled missle, then things start to be come a bit more than low tech.
I can understand a marines adamant attitude about fighting for his govenment. But when you ignore evidence that proves the government had EVERYTHING to do with killing innocent people to make an excuse of self defense to attack another nation, it becomes a sickness. Blind obedience.
I support the reason why the armed forces were formed, however they arent fighting for america, theyre fighting for corporate interest. The interests of a handfull. besides, isn’t that who runs america now? The Corporations?
But after all, this is america. You are entitled to say and beleive anything you want…for now.

At least We are paid to visit this site and observe your whinings and non compliance. If you just understood what they are tying to achieve. You have to appreciate the respect They have for human life, and the future of our kind!
If it weren’t for Web Warriors like Us, then there wouldn’t even be a platform for you to even discuss these issues. We can turn off the juice at any time but, you are all offering us far to much to silence it!
Just take a few moments and really think about the concerns on food resources and future populations. Do the math, you would do the same if you were on our side!
Someone has to go! That’s just Logic, not evil, as some of you have put it. And I have earned my seat in the Future, and none of you have. You should have gotten better grades in school. Then maybe you would have been given the shoulder tap, and the invitation to the future!

Private Eyes,
watch your back. You will be one of the first hired goons your masters get rid of because you obviously talk way too much.
When you have done your deed for them they will end you. Keep that in mind.
March 3rd, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Appreciate what they are trying to achieve. That’s funny. I suppose even those hired to watch us have to be deceived to participate. Do you really think you’re getting the real story? I know you’re not. See my world of information isn’t compartmentalized , I don’t need anyone to tell me the way it is. Those of you that got that tap on the shoulder and think you’re in will find you’re the furthest out. Sure we’ll be gone, but wait and see what you’re left with. It’s not going to be the way you were told. Sorry. I think horrific would be a good word to describe it.
March 3rd, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I’ll thank a marine for my freedom when the MARINES grow BALLS and ARREST the bastard psychopathic traitors who are “running” the show at this time. I don’t feel like I have a whole lot of freedom because of IDIOTS who THINK they are “patriots” making the world safe for COMMUNISM.
So, why not change your handle to THANKAMARINEFOROURSLAVERY. Bunch of IDIOT BLIND OBEDIENT SLAVES is what you are. You’d shoot your own mother if you were ordered too. I saw some of your ilk making the people free in New Orleans after Katrina. Tying them up and stealing their means of self defense. Too bad I didn’t live down their…the fucking war would have started then you pieces of crap.
