The Passing of David Ray Griffin

The Parallels Between Sep 11 & the "COV!D" Operation

I got an email yesterday from a friend alerting me to Dr. Griffin’s death in November 2022. I’m sorry I missed this announcement last month.

Some of you probably know of Dr. Griffin. For others unfamiliar, Dr. Griffin was a theologian, a philosopher, and one of the world’s premier researchers and experts on the official story of the September 11th attacks. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Griffin twice “back in the day” when he came to speak in the Boston area on the topic. For a brief time, we were in regular email communication.

A Teachable Man

Starting out as a believer of that official story, Dr. Griffin came to learn the absurdity of it during his own efforts to prove what he thought was the absurdity of Thierry Meyssan’s allegations. Instead of providing fodder for his planned refutation of Meyssan’s¹ assertions in opposition to the official story, Dr. Griffin came to the realization that the U.S. government’s version of events could not possibly be true. That understanding led Dr. Griffin to his first book on the subject, “The New Pearl Harbor”. More than a dozen others would follow.

I have two of Dr. Griffin’s books — “The New Pearl Harbor” — and “The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions,” which I not-so-affectionately call “The 9/11 Omission Report.”

This morning, I pulled “The 9/11 Commission Report” off my bookshelf. Thumbing through brought nods and smiles as I saw all my underlines, brackets around entire paragraphs, and exclamation points scattered about this book. For one example of many, on Page 220 in Chapter 14, Dr. Griffin provides Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta’s testimony (time-stamped PooTube video) about his activities at the Pentagon that terrible morning:

“During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President,* ‘The plane is 50 miles out.’ ‘The plane is 30 miles out.’ And when it got down to ‘the plane is 10 miles out,’ the young man also said to the Vice President, ‘Do the orders still stand?’ And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, ‘Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?’”

The orders? What orders? To shoot down? Couldn’t be because they tell us the plane crashed into the Pentagon. The orders, then, to not shoot down?? Why not? Why not if you know where it is and where it’s headed?? What orders still stand?

Never mind.

This bit of testimony did make it into the Commission’s staff report of May 2003, but somehow got omitted from the Commission’s final report — you know, the one that’s the official version of the official story. It’s not even mentioned or referred to in passing. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. I guess the importance of this was similar to that of questions related to who funded the operation, which the Commission found was of “little practical significance.” Oh.

The report contains (or not!) several other “good” omissions such as the drill taking place that morning simulating a plane crashing into a building at the same time the attacks were actually happening. “…just an incredible coincidence…”

My “favorite” omission, though, has to be WTC 7, the building across the street from the World Trade Center Plaza, 47 stories high, that “plopped” to earth in under seven seconds. According to the final report? “A third building collapsed? No kidding?” This probably adds to the ignorance most people have about that day.

Griffin documents similar too-numerous-to-mention “omissions,” as well as overt distortions in the report that serve to support “what everybody knows” about what happened that day.

Most importantly, the book documents how the final report lets off the hook everybody who should have been on it. This includes that morning’s Acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Air Force General Richard B. Myers. Not only was Myers not put on any hook for his spectacular failures that morning, why, those failures prompted his promotion to Chairman. When he finally left his “service” to the country, the fine people at Kansas State University made Myers their president.

Just so. Special.

Water Under the Bridge

So why do I refer back to this crime? Partly because of David Ray Griffin’s death, but mostly because the people of this country behaved then exactly as they behaved at the rollout of the “COV!D” crime. Credulous. Willing to sacrifice their freedoms for “safety.” Obedient. Disloyal. Craven. Fourth Amendment? Who cares about illegal searches? We need to be “safe!”

Add in indignant, insufferable, sanctimonious, and insulting toward anyone who dared to point out the impossibilities and absurdities the official “COV!D” story asked us to believe. Called selfish, greedy, disgraceful for pointing out the unlawfulness of all of the “COV!D” mandates and restrictions. Where do you think you are? In the “land of the free and brave?”

The Right Response to Sep 11 Makes the “COV!D” Operation Impossible

I contend that had the people of this country been able to wrap their heads around the absurdities of Sep 11, this most recent crime could not have happened. I remember coming home the day of and in conversations about the events, I said, “‘They’ blew those buildings up.” Good God! It was so obvious! Instead, we get people by the boatload arguing — indirectly on behalf of the government that told us how badly they failed — insisting kerosene can “melt” steel. With citizens like this, coups are easy…

So, had the simplest of facts been understood by “the people” then, we would not be dealing with a Department of Homeland Security now because one would never have been formed — as just one example.

The traitors who aided and abetted the Sep 11th attacks would have been exposed (one can only pray), tried, convicted, and hanged or be rotting in prison. The Fourth Amendment would still be intact as would the country’s dignity. If the country had stood for the Fourth Amendment, would so many need to be fighting now to restore the First?

Millions of casualties outside this country would never have happened and thousands and thousands of American troops would still be alive.

I contend that had the people of this country defended their Bill of Rights and the ideals of the Declaration, a message would have been sent to the world that the people of this country understood and were ready to defend human freedom and truth — come what may.

I contend that the global crime that is the “COV!D” operation is the shameful legacy of falling for the absurd official story of Sep 11th. Those carrying out the “COV!D” operation had enough proof that tolerance for further eradication of basic human rights — here and abroad — would be forthcoming. They’d seen it before.

Without the enabling attitude and submission of the majority in the aftermath of that fateful day, the whole world would be in a completely different place. As someone close to me has said repeatedly, “‘They’ want to have the world, and to have the world, they had to have America.” Sadly — and predictably — Americans gave it to them.

If the people of a nation fail to defend their freedom, how then do they deserve it?

The Good News

Despite the buzz kill that is the above, there is good news. This time — unlike more than 20 years ago — many more people are getting shaken out of their slumber. Unlike just the people in New York and the subsequent victims overseas, people across the country have “stuff” happening to them. Even if they were OK with a mask, having to get an injection to keep their job? That, rightfully, does not sit right with a large segment of the population.

Despite those insisting that without their three or four shots, their “COV!D” illness would be worse, more and more people are saying, “Hey, if I can still get the virus and still transmit — and still get sick — why do I have to take it?” Then tell people the manufacturers have complete liability immunity for injury or death — as more and more of that happens — you’ll get a reaction that shows that people know there’s just something very wrong with that.

Take a look at all the great writers that have emerged on Substack, taking on this crime from so many angles, all contributing to the growing sense that, yes, in fact, the people of this country were and are victims of a crime — likely the biggest one in history. More and more people are making statements that indicate that they know who the perpetrators are — the parasites in all the alphabet agencies that are also in the pocket of “big pharma.” Those parasites share those “big pharma” pockets with the vast majority in Congress who over the years have slowly, bit by bit overthrown the Constitution. They have done this with their non-stop meddling and unlawful statutes that Katherine Watt has so beautifully documented.

Visit Jeff Childers’ “Coffee and Covid” Substack for amazing documentation of this crime and so many others and take a look at all the comments. Celia Farber, el gato malo, James Lyons-Weiler, Steve Kirsch, Naomi Wolf, Liberty Journal, Kathleen Devanney, The Good Citizen, SadieJay at NothingtoSeeHere, Dr. Deprogram, Dr. Toby Rogers, Dr. Jennifer Brown at “Holding the Line with Dr. Funtimes,” and so many more. Steve Kirsch alone reaches millions just by himself. This reaction was completely absent in the efforts to bring light to the lies of the Sep 11th official story.

So, while “we” let “them” get away with far too much during this latest crime, I truly believe there’s just too many stirring and too many steamin’ mad for the larger plan to come to fruition. Battling back must continue for sure, but this time around, many, many more are on Team Freedom, Team Reality, Team Truth. Despite the hard battles still to be waged and won, I do believe we win in the long run and the world is better for it. (That’s the non-buzz-kill me speaking.)

On this topic, I will end with the following quote:

“We fight not for glory nor for wealth nor honours, but only and alone we fight for freedom, which no good man surrenders but with his life.” – Bernard De Linton, Chancellor of Scotland and Abbot of Arbroath Abbey who drafted the famous Declaration of Arbroath. https://www.scottish-places.info/people/famousfirst1953.html

I will be forever grateful for Dr. Griffin’s research, the lies it exposed and the truth it preserved. I’ll always remember the day of his second visit to Boston. Those of us in attendance made our way to the restaurant where a lunch was being held. I was there with friends, chatting. Heads started turning toward the door of the private room we were in. Dr. Griffin had arrived. He made his way in, greeting and shaking hands with the attendees. As he came nearer to where I stood, he looked in my direction. Recognizing me, he smiled broadly, excused himself, and came right over, greeting me warmly. We chatted for a few minutes before the lunch was to start. Dr. Griffin made his way to his preferred seat and insisted I sit across from him so we could keep talking. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

Thank you, Dr. Griffin. May you rest in peace.
