Where Are the 9/11 Whistleblowers?

Answering a Common Objection to Theories That the September 11 Attacks Were an Inside Job

A 9-11 Research PDF Essay

by Gregg Roberts, Associate Editor

Note: Since there have actually been many whistleblowers -- just no one who credibly claims to be one of the perpetrators -- the present title is something of a misnomer. Send suggestions for a better title to gregg(delete this anti-spam text)@wtc7.net. This title does have the virtue that many people do Internet searches about 9/11 whistleblowers, so consider that in your suggestion. Introduction In many personal discussions I have had about 9/11, I am often interrupted long before I can describe much of the evidence that it was an inside job, with the objection that such a large conspiracy could not have been covered up. "Hundreds, if not thousands, of people would have to have been involved. Someone would have talked," as this objection has it, or in common parlance, "someone would have blown the whistle." This objection has also been confidently raised on various Internet discussion forums, and in some instances where anyone in the corporate or Left media has bothered to dignify the issue with a response. Gregg Roberts is a freelance technical writer and business analyst with a bachelor's degree in psychology, master's-level study in social work, and earlier education in the "hard" sciences. His history of peace and justice activism goes back 20 years, including work against US funding for Salvadoran death squads and the contra war in Nicaragua. He has been investigating the September 11 attacks since December 2003 and has provided extensive editorial assistance to the 9-11 Research website family. He is currently working with webmaster Jim Hoffman on a book based on the site. The essay I'm offering below provides a self-contained, easily printed review of the evidence for official complicity in 9/11: The immediate identification of Osama bin Laden as the "mastermind" and the almost immediate identification of all 19 alleged hijackers

Scant public evidence supporting the official account

Official statements that lack fundamental credibility, such as that a suicide attack by airliner had never been considered

The unprecedented, unexplained collapses of three steel-framed skyscrapers, allegedly due to fire, while exhibiting all the typical features of controlled demolition, or features that argue for it even more strongly After the review, I discuss issues that bear on the likelihood of a 9/11 whistleblower coming forward, and of his or her case being widely covered in the mainstream media, including: The history of "false-flag attacks" and other government operations that were kept secret by hundreds of people for decades

The likely number of insiders in a position to blow the whistle and their relevant personal characteristics

How the government and media have treated whistleblowers who have revealed weaknesses in the handling of national security threats, without claiming any inside knowledge of how 9/11 was carried out (or even challenging the official story)

The motivations and concerns of whistleblowers

Attitudes and other filtering mechanisms evident in the major media I conclude that the probability of an insider coming forward and widespread coverage being afforded such a person are quite low because of the explosive nature of the issue, the risk/opportunity balance to would-be whistleblowers, and the filtering mechanisms that operate in both the corporate and Left media.
