9/11 Attacks Planned to Demonize Muslims
Walt Peretto, sociopolitical psychologist and writer from Florida, argued that the US government is now using 9/11 to justify its illegal surveillance of US citizens.
“In 2013, former CIA employee-turned famed whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed to the world a secretive US government program run by the National Security Agency, or NSA, that collects telephone metadata on ordinary citizens,” he told Press TV in a phone interview Saturday.
“This translates to the government having access to who calls who on the telephone. The main reason for its secrecy is it is clearly unconstitutional to tap people's phones or collect telephone data without reasonable suspicion of criminal activity presented to a judge for the issue of a warrant,” he continued.
“Once this illegal surveillance program was leaked, the US government was caught with their hands in the cookie jar but quickly used the other hand to evoke the 9/11 card as justification for continuing the program while tepidly calling Snowden a traitor,” Peretto stated.
“The main reason for the planning and execution of 9/11 was to first shock the unsuspecting world by presenting a snuff film filled with gore, blood, destruction, heroes, villains, and ultimately retaliation. It also renewed a sense of patriotism while the planners invaded countries that had both strategic and profit potential. War is huge money,” he noted.
The analyst said that “westernization” and "demonization" of Muslim nations had been on the agenda of US administrations before George W. Bush’s.
“It also serves to strengthen Israel's position in the world along with Saudi Arabia – who are both complicit in these crimes as proven by independent researchers and analysts based on evidence rather than mainstream media scripts,” he added.
“With all the evidence revealed since independent investigation of 9/11 began, the mainstream media has yet to report on any evidence that could contradict the official script they are required to report. Any mention at all of 9/11 evidence is carefully managed and presented as the fantasy or misconceptions of what the CIA promotes as 'conspiracy theorists’,” Peretto said.
Declassified documentation has revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency promoted the term “conspiracy theory,” urging media outlets to use it to describe any independent investigation of John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, he pointed out.
The Obama administration has formally asked the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to renew the NSA’s spying this week as it does every 90 days to keep the program active.
On Friday, President Barack Obama received FISA court authorization weeks before June 1, a legal deadline when Congress should either reauthorize the existing law, replace it or allow the program to expire.
“I'm sure the program will continue in the name of fighting 'terrorism' which has been largely orchestrated by the West and scripted for the mainstream media,” Peretto concluded.
