Prelude

In the period up to September 11, 2001, the US government and administration had become aware of an increasing terrorist threat. The assessment was based on a flow of intelligence and activities that suggested one or more imminent terrorist attacks from especially al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, among others in the form of aircraft hijackings, but there was no concrete idea or knowledge about what would be the fate of that tuesday in September.


Below, we investigate various conspiracy theory claims related to the prelude of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.

Maintenance workers placed explosives in the Twin Towers

, ,

A number of companies, among them Ace Elevators and Turner Construction, that were doing maintenance work on elevators at the World Trade Center 1 and 2 in the days before September 11, 2001 should ostensibly have been involved with placing explosives on all floors in the buildings, either by placing the explosives themselves or as a cover for someone else placing it.

Stock exchange speculation

The claim is used to support the overall claim by conspiracy theorists of a world-wide secret organization which not only plans and carries out terror attacks and wars but also profits from them.

CIA ordered visas for 15 of the hijackers

J. Michael Springman is a former employee at the American Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi-Arabia. During an interview with radio host Alex Jones, he claimed that, despite him refusing to grant 15 of the 19 hijackers visas for the United States, because they were on a watchlist, the CIA ordered him to grant the visas anyway.

It is possible to smuggle explosives through security

, , ,

An article in The Washington Post describes how, in 2009, American security agents from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) succeeded in smuggling materials for small bombs through security in ten important government buildings. The agents then put together the small bombs and walked around with them, unhindered. The article is used by the Truth Movement to support the claim that, leading up to September 11, 2001, huge quantities of explosives and top secret military-developed nanothermite were placed in the World Trade Center 1, 2, and 7. It is argued that, since agents in secret can smuggle materials for explosives into federal buildings, there is nothing that prevents the World Trade Center 1, 2, and 7 from being destroyed by controlled demolitions.

Bush ignored warnings about an attack

The many warnings should have been ignored deliberately by the American govenment, because it wanted to pass legislation that removed civil rights, so that the overall plan for the New World Order could be implemented more easily.

The hijacked planes could have been intercepted by military planes

, , , , ,

In 1999, Air Traffic Control lost contact with a Learjet 35 on its way from Orlando, Florida, to Dallas, Texas. On board were two pilots and four passengers, one being the famous golf player Payne Stewart. An F-16 from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, which happened to be in the area, was dispatched to localize the plane but was unable to make contact. Two more planes were dispatched, also to make contact, but this was also in vain. The Learjet continued its course until it ran out of fuel, after which it crashed. This incident is used to argue that the hijacked planes on September 11, 2001 were intentionally not intercepted by military planes.

4,000 Israelis did not show up for work

,

This claim is rooted in the myth that Jews are, and have been, behind the largest conspiracies throughout time. When that many Jews don’t show up for work, it must be because they were warned beforehand, as opposed to non-Jews, who then became victims of the terror attack.

Rumsfeld admitted that the Pentagon was missing 2.3 trillion dollars

,

The claim supports the conspiracy theory that the terror attack against the Pentagon was supposedly a so-called false flag operation. Rumsfeld had knowledge that the terror attack would take place the next day, knowing that the news of the missing trillions would be buried in the massive media cover of the attack. The hijacked Flight 77 was intended to impact the Pentagon at the exact spot where the documents that would reveal the fraud would be. The impact and the subsequent damage and fires were then to destroy the evidence. The claim is also used to explain where the money to wage war in Iraq and Afghanistan came from.

Power cut concealed placement of explosives

The claim is taken from a flyer handed out by the Danish Truth Movement i11time.dk and points to a conspiracy having faked a widespread power cut in order to be able to send a lot of people into the buildings to place explosives without being caught.
