9/11 & The War on Terror

Overview

The September 11, 2001 attacks and the subsequent "War on Terror" are interpreted within the Pax Judaica framework as pivotal events serving a broader agenda—specifically, destabilizing Middle Eastern nations that could oppose Israeli regional dominance. This article examines the mainstream narrative, the conspiracy claims, documented facts, and critical analysis.

Note: This article addresses sensitive topics. It distinguishes between documented facts, contested claims, and speculation.

The War on Terror

Afghanistan (2001-2021)

Stated justification: Destroy Al-Qaeda; remove Taliban government harboring them

Timeline:3

• October 2001: Invasion begins
• December 2001: Taliban government falls
• 2001-2021: 20-year occupation
• August 2021: U.S. withdrawal; Taliban retakes control

Iraq (2003-2011)

Stated justification: WMD threat; Saddam Hussein-Al-Qaeda links

What was later established:4

• No WMDs found
• No operational link between Iraq and 9/11/Al-Qaeda
• Intelligence was manipulated/cherry-picked
• Key claims (yellowcake uranium, mobile labs) were false

Timeline:

• March 2003: "Shock and Awe" invasion
• December 2003: Saddam Hussein captured
• 2003-2011: Occupation and insurgency
• 2011: U.S. withdrawal
• 2014: ISIS emerges; partial U.S. return

Broader "War on Terror"

Extended operations included:5

• Libya intervention (2011)
• Syria involvement
• Yemen drone campaigns
• Somalia operations
• Global surveillance expansion (NSA)6

The Framework's Interpretation

Professor Jiang's Claims

In the lecture, 9/11 is connected to the broader Pax Judaica narrative:

"The War on Terror... this is about destroying countries that could threaten Israel. Iraq, Libya, Syria... look at which countries were targeted. They all surrounded Israel."

The "Clean Break" and PNAC Connection

The framework cites two documents as evidence of pre-9/11 planning:

1. "A Clean Break" (1996):7

• Policy paper for incoming Israeli PM Netanyahu
• Authors included Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, David Wurmser
• Advocated removing Saddam Hussein
• Suggested "weakening, containing, and rolling back Syria"

2. PNAC (Project for the New American Century):8

• Neoconservative think tank (1997-2009)
• Members included Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bolton, Perle
• 2000 document: "Rebuilding America's Defenses"
• Noted transformation would be slow "absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor"

Framework interpretation: These documents prove pre-planning; 9/11 was the "new Pearl Harbor."

The "Cui Bono" Argument

The framework asks "who benefits?":

The "Dancing Israelis" Claim

Often cited in conspiracy literature:10

• Five Israeli nationals were detained on 9/11
• Reportedly seen filming/celebrating at the WTC
• Later released and returned to Israel
• Some allegedly had Mossad connections

What's documented: Five Israelis were detained and deported

What's speculated: Foreknowledge, Mossad operation, etc.

Critical Analysis

What's Documented

What's Speculative/Contested

The "Foreknowledge vs. Orchestration" Distinction

Important distinction:

• Policy planning (documented): Think tanks develop contingency plans
• Opportunism (documented): Crises are exploited for pre-existing agendas13
• Foreknowledge (contested): Some actors knew attacks were coming
• Orchestration (unproven): U.S./Israel/others planned and executed attacks

The first two don't prove the latter two.

The Saudi Question

Anomaly noted by critics:14

• 15 of 19 hijackers were Saudi
• Saudi Arabia funds Wahhabi extremism
• Saudi Arabia was not invaded or seriously pressured
• 28 pages of 9/11 Commission report redacted (later partially released)

Mainstream explanation: Saudi Arabia is strategic ally; individual Saudis ≠ Saudi government

Alternative view: Saudi connections were covered up to protect alliance

The "Controlled Demolition" Claims

The Theory

Some claim WTC towers (and Building 7) were demolished by explosives:15

• "Free fall speed" collapse
• "Thermite" residue allegedly found
• Building 7 fell without direct plane impact
• Symmetrical collapse patterns

Engineering Responses

NIST Investigation and independent engineers concluded:12

• Fires weakened steel structure
• Progressive collapse ensued
• No evidence of explosives
• Building 7 collapsed due to fire-induced structural failure

Why This Matters to the Framework

If controlled demolition, then:

• Attacks were inside job
• Elaborate planning required
• Official narrative is cover story
• Perpetrators are domestic/allied

Legitimate vs. Conspiratorial Critiques

Legitimate Questions/Critiques

• Why was intelligence ignored despite warnings?2
• Why was Saudi connection underexplored?14
• Why did U.S. invade Iraq without 9/11 connection?4
• Were civil liberties properly balanced against security?6
• Did neoconservative ideology distort policy?11

These questions don't require conspiracy theories—they critique policy decisions and institutional failures.

Conspiratorial Claims

• Controlled demolition
• Israeli/Mossad orchestration
• U.S. government planned the attacks
• No planes hit the towers (holograms, missiles)
• All victims are "crisis actors"

These require extraordinary evidence not provided.

The Documentary Record

What Pre-9/11 Documents Show

What documents don't show: Evidence of orchestrating the attacks

What Post-9/11 Record Shows

• WMD claims were false or manipulated4
• Iraq war was not justified by evidence
• Neoconservatives got their desired wars11
• Wars destabilized Middle East as "Clean Break" suggested

Alternative Explanations

Without Conspiracy Theory

9/11 and aftermath can be explained by:

This explains outcomes without requiring orchestrated attacks.

Why Conspiracy Theories Persist

• Trauma seeks explanation16
• Official failures breed distrust
• Some questions remain unanswered
• "Cui bono" logic is seductive
• Distrust of institutions is warranted (see: WMD lies)
