What planet exactly is this "Jon Gold" on?  Is he seriously suggesting that the Taliban had something to do with 9/11?  To fixate so obsessively on a fantastical Pakistani link to 9/11 for which there is absolutely NO credible evidence and moreover to make those allegations because someone in the media has linked Pakistani intelligence to the Taliban (hello, the US supported the Taliban before they didn't!) as if the Taliban now had something to do with 9/11 is pretty much the equivalent of writing I HATE RAGHEAD MUSLIM TRASH on your forehead--it is equivalent to hate speech in the strict sense of the laws that denote hate speech as speech that incites hatred of a group.

Why do some 9/11 truth sites (truthaction.org in this case) allow such venom to continue to be spewed on their servers?  It is time for the truth movement to take out the racist trash in its midst. It is bad enough that the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan are attacked by the American military under the false pretense of a bogus war on terror.  We cannot allow accusations to continue to be made based on a storyline that every honest truther by now knows is 100% BS.  Lies that those telling them know full well will lead to justifications made for further assaults on innocents are simply beyond the pale--especially on a supposed "truth" site.  Jon Gold is a disgrace to the 9/11 truth movement.

The U.S. Government "Finally" Discovers The ISI's Link to Terrorism

On March 25th, 2009, the New York Times reported that the Taliban gets "direct support from operatives in Pakistan's military intelligence agency" [...] ACCORDING TO AMERICAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS (emphasis mine).

According to President Obama, these revelations "aren't new." As it turns out, he's right.

Over the years, there have been so many reports about the ISI's connection to 9/11, and to terrorism. The U.S. Government has been confronted on this issue on more than one occasion, and yet, NOW they are miraculously discovering this connection.

Are people like Paul Thompson, the makers of 9/11: Press For Truth, and myself, just that much smarter, and better researchers than your average CIA analyst whose job it is to know these kinds of things? The answer to that question is no. And if your average CIA analyst knows of this information, then so does their boss, and their boss, and their boss, and eventually even our elected officials know this. So why then have they ignored this relationship?

In 9/11: Press For Truth, Paul Thompson asks a very pertinent question. "The question to me is, who else was involved with Al-Qaeda? Was Al-Qaeda used as a tool? Just as in the 1980's the Mujahadeen were used by the U.S. Government?"

On April 3rd 2007, ABC News reported that "a Pakistani tribal militant group responsible for a series of deadly guerrilla raids inside Iran has been secretly encouraged and advised by American officials since 2005, U.S. and Pakistani intelligence sources tell ABC News." [...] "Pakistani government sources say the secret campaign against Iran by Jundullah was on the agenda when Vice President Dick Cheney met with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in February."

Knowing that, knowing about the allegations of bribery, knowing about Danny Pearl, knowing about the CIA's connection to the ISI, and knowing everything else that has been reported over the years, it's not hard to figure out why the ISI's involvement with terrorism has been ignored. At least, it's not hard to "theorize" about why it has been ignored.

Because the relationship between the ISI and terrorists is advantageous to elements within the U.S. Government, and to other Governments as well.

As Paul Thompson asked, I wonder if anyone took advantage of that relationship for 9/11? In my opinion, it's certainly not out of the realm of possibilities.
