“Missing Links” Provides the Critics of 9/11 Truth with Ample Ammunition
by Reprehensor, 911blogger.com

The makers of the documentary Missing Links, (www{dot}911missinglinks{dot}com), bill their roll-your-own documentary as “The Definitive Truth About 9/11″.

The words of the Greek playwright Euripides come to mind, “A bad beginning makes a bad ending”.

(Oh, and let me break this to the Bigfoot researchers right now… no, this film is not that crossover hit you have been waiting for breathlessly. ‘Missing Link’ in this case, refers to Jewish people… I know, I know… I feel your pain…)

The film starts out by giving “Special thanks to the independent investigators and agents, analysts and assets of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, and Intelligence sectors of the United States Armed Forces who are still loyal to America.”

Surely, they don’t mean George Walker Bush’s ‘Amerika’?

It reminds one of the newbie on the business end of the fraternity paddle in Animal House, “Thank you, sir! May I have another?”

Perhaps I’m being too elitist here… everybody knows Dickens, right? I guess the filmmakers could be seen as playing the part of Oliver Twist, “Please sir, I want some more.”

If you were to take Jason Bermas’ recent documentary, Fabled Enemies and strip away all of the copious links that the alleged hijackers had to Western intelligence and possibly the US military, you would have the basic framework for Missing Links. Then, ignore the gargantuan profits that US oil companies have raked in, following the destructive wake of the “War on Terror” … and then you ignore the gargantuan profits that the US defense industry has raked in, post-9/11, and you’re half way done building Missing Links. Finally, ignore the fact that US and Israeli intelligence agencies have shared information, common goals (Cold War espionage anyone?) and HUMINT operations since 1951 (and even pre-dating the state of Israel in 1945 via the OSS), and the stage is set for an ahistorical hit and miss picture show that covers intelligence ops over the last 40 years with a very uneven keel.

By way of prior example, Missing Links intends to expose a “Jewish criminal network” that the filmmakers believe pulled off 9/11. (Don’t worry about NORAD’s lies, don’t worry about the 9/11 War Games, don’t worry about top CIA/Al Qaeda guy Ali Mohamed, don’t worry about CIA/Al Qaeda guy/Bojinka man Ramzi Yousef, don’t worry about CIA/Al Qaeda guy Luai Sakra, don’t worry about the instant appearance of the PATRIOT Act… after all, the makers of Missing Links didn’t.) The documentary starts out by examining the Lavon Affair. The Lavon Affair (See also: Operation Susannah), is a documented historical fact, well-known, and examined in several books, including “official sources” like Raviv and Melman’s Every Spy a Prince. The filmmakers do not spend much time analyzing the Affair as a failed venture. Instead, they follow the segment by taking a moment to infer that the WTC Towers were obviously blown up by the same people. Obviously.

The makers of the film do take a moment to lament the scapegoating of Israeli defense minister Pinhas Lavon, who got stuck holding the bag for the bungled operation, and earned an infamous place in history… and then they proceed to scapegoat Jews for 9/11.

9/11 Misinformation: Flight “Passenger Lists” Show “No Hijacker Names”

Misinformation: Passenger “Manifests” Contain “No Arab or Alleged Hijacker Names”

The assertion that 9/11 passengers lists “contained no Arab names” is frequently seen in the 9/11 truth movement. [1]  For example, this article by Enver Masud is headlined, “Why are there no Arab names on the passenger list for the planes used in the September 11, 2001 attack…?” [2] The 9/11 website 9/11 Hard Facts claims, “[On] officially released passenger lists provided by the airlines to the media, no Arab names appear on any of the four passenger lists.” [3] In David Ray Griffin’s 9/11: The Myth and the Reality, he repeats the claim that, “[Their] names should be on the flight manifests. But the flight manifests that have been released contain neither the names of the alleged hijackers nor any other Arab names.” [4] John Leonard, Webster Tarpley and Kevin Barrett’s publisher repeats the claim that “Scholars [for 9/11 Truth]… report things like ‘there were no Arabs on the passenger lists’”[5] As well, Michael C. Ruppert, citing Gary North wrote, “Another easy and non-debatable hole is with the passenger lists and the hijackers. Gary North, Ph.D. – a history professor… relied on lists published by CNN… Official reports state that there were only 19 hijackers. Second, none of listed passenger names are Arabic, Muslim… The government needs to provide an explanation for this glaring discrepancy.” [6]

Passenger Manifests versus Victim Lists

In fact, the U.S. Government withheld the actual passenger lists for years.  An earlier version of Jim Hoffman’s page on the passenger lists reported correctly that there was previously “no public evidence… Researchers who have attempted to obtain this information from the airlines have been rebuffed.” [7] However, many 9/11 researchers mistakenly cited “victim lists”—not passenger lists.  Jim Hoffman explains:

“According to the official story, teams of four and five Islamic hijackers took over Flights 11, 175, 77, and 93. Victims lists for the four planes published by CNN and elsewhere are free of Arab names…  This fact has been highlighted as suspicious by some researchers describing the lists as passenger manifests. However, these lists are not passenger manifests, but lists of victims… CNN describes its criteria for including persons in its memorial in a pop-up window labelled ‘About this site’… ‘(Those identified by federal authorities as the hijackers are not included)…’ In July of 2006 a large collection of documents was published on a website containing prosecution and defense exhibits for the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui… The faxes, reproduced below, include the names of the alleged hijackers.” [8]

Referring to “victim lists” as if they were “passenger lists” would be significantly misleading.  The CNN website frequently cited reveals that the alleged hijackers were intentionally not included.  The Complete 9/11 Timeline also cites “Terry McDermott’s 2005 book, Perfect Soldiers… Names of the five hijackers [on the manifest] are highlighted.” [9] McDermott apparently got these images and other material from the FBI, but 9/11 blogger and researcher Reprehensor claims, “When [Elias] Davidsson tried to get the manifests via FOIA, he was denied [access].” [10] These printouts are criticized by Elias Davidsson who says that, “these printouts contain no authentication and were not accompanied by chain-of-custody reports. These lists were released discreetly, without comments or indication as to their source… the FBI and the airlines have consistently refused and continue to refuse to release the authentic, original, passenger lists and flight manifests, of the four 9/11 flights… As the names of all victims and alleged hijackers have been publicized within days after 9/11, privacy considerations cannot explain the refusal to simply confirm—by releasing the original, authentic, documents—what has been publicly asserted since 9/11.” [11] In other words, the authenticity of these documents have been questioned by some 9/11 researchers.
