Actor Charlie Sheen Questions Official 9/11 Story

Calls for truly independent investigation, joins growing ranks of prominent credible whistleblowers

Alex Jones & Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com

March 20 2006

Actor Charlie Sheen has joined a growing army of other highly credible public figures in questioning the official story of 9/11 and calling for a new independent investigation of the attack and the circumstances surrounding it.

Over the past two years, scores of highly regarded individuals have gone public to express their serious doubts about 9/11. These include former presidential advisor and CIA analyst Ray McGovern, the father of Reaganomics and former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Paul Craig Roberts, BYU physics Professor Steven Jones, former German defense minister Andreas von Buelow, former MI5 officer David Shayler, former Blair cabinet member Michael Meacher, former Chief Economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds and many more.

Speaking to The Alex Jones Show on the GCN Radio Network, the star of current hit comedy show Two and a Half Men and dozens of movies including Platoon and Young Guns, Sheen elaborated on why he had problems believing the government's version of events.

Sheen agreed that the biggest conspiracy theory was put out by the government itself and prefaced his argument by quoting Theodore Roosevelt in stating, "That we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

"We're not the conspiracy theorists on this particular issue," said Sheen.

"It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75% of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions."

Sheen described the climate of acceptance for serious discussion about 9/11 as being far more fertile than it was a couple of years ago.

"It feels like from the people I talk to in and around my circles, it seems like the worm is turning."

Suspicious collapse of buildings

Sheen described his immediate skepticism regarding the official reason for the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 on the day of 9/11.

"I was up early and we were gonna do a pre-shoot on Spin City, the show I used to do, I was watching the news and the north tower was burning. I saw the south tower hit live, that famous wide shot where it disappears behind the building and then we see the tremendous fireball."

"There was a feeling, it just didn't look any commercial jetliner I've flown on any time in my life and then when the buildings came down later on that day I said to my brother 'call me insane, but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition'?"

Sheen said that most people's gut instinct, that the buildings had been deliberately imploded, was washed away by the incessant flood of the official version of events from day one.

Sheen questioned the plausibility of a fireballs traveling 110 feet down an elevator shaft and causing damage to the lobbies of the towers as seen in video footage, especially when contrasted with eyewitness accounts of bombs and explosions in the basement levels of the buildings.

Regarding building 7, which wasn't hit by a plane, Sheen highlighted the use of the term "pull," a demolition industry term for pulling the outer walls of the building towards the center in an implosion, as was used by Larry Silverstein in a September 2002 PBS documentary when he said that the decision to "pull" building 7 was made before its collapse. (http://www.prisonplanet.com/011904wtc7.html) This technique ensures the building collapses in its own footprint and can clearly be seen during the collapse of building 7 with the classic 'crimp' being visible.

The highly suspicious collapse of building 7 and the twin towers has previously been put under the spotlight by physics Professor Steven Jones and Kevin Ryan of Underwriters Laboratories, the company that certified the steel components used in the construction of the World Trade Center towers.

"The term 'pull' is as common to the demolition world as 'action and 'cut' are to the movie world," said Sheen.

Sheen referenced firefighters in the buildings who were eyewitnesses to demolition style implosions and bombs.

"This is not you or I watching the videos and speculating on what we saw, these are gentlemen inside the buildings at the very point of collapse."

"If there's a problem with building 7 then there's a problem with the whole thing," said Sheen.

Bush's behavior on 9/11

Sheen then questioned President Bush's actions on 9/11 and his location at the Booker Elementary School in Florida. Once Andy Card had whispered to Bush that America was under attack why didn't the secret service immediately whisk Bush away to a secret location?

By remaining at a location where it was publicly known the President would be before 9/11, he was not only putting his own life in danger, but the lives of hundreds of schoolchildren. That is unless the government knew for sure what the targets were beforehand and that President Bush wasn't one of them.

"It seems to me that upon the revelation of that news that the secret service would grab the President as if he was on fire and remove him from that room," said Sheen.

The question of how Bush saw the first plane hit the north tower, when no live footage of that incident was carried, an assertion that Bush repeated twice, was also put under the spotlight.

"I guess one of the perks of being President is that you get access to TV channels that don't exist in the known universe," said Sheen.

"It might lead you to believe that he'd seen similar images in some type of rehearsal as it were, I don't know."

The Pentagon incident

Sheen outlined his disbelief that the official story of what happened at the Pentagon matched the physical evidence.

"Show us this incredible maneuvering, just show it to us. Just show us how this particular plane pulled off these maneuvers. 270 degree turn at 500 miles and hour descending 7,000 feet in two and a half minutes, skimming across treetops the last 500 meters."

We have not been able to confirm that a large commercial airliner hit the Pentagon because the government has seized and refused to release any footage that would show the impact.

"I understand in the interest of national security that maybe not release the Pentagon cameras but what about the Sheraton, what about the gas station, what about the Department of Transportation freeway cam? What about all these shots that had this thing perfectly documented? Instead they put out five frames that they claim not to have authorized, it's really suspicious," said Sheen.

Sheen also questioned how the plane basically disappeared into the Pentagon with next to no wreckage and no indication of what happened to the wing sections.

Concerning how the Bush administration had finalized Afghanistan war plans two days before 9/11 with the massing of 44,000 US troops and 18,000 British troops in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, and in addition the call for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor," as outlined in the PNAC documents, Sheen stated, "you don't really put those strategies together overnight do you for a major invasion? Those are really well calculated and really well planned."

"Coincidence? We think not," said Sheen and he called the PNAC quotes "emblematic of the arrogance of this administration."

A real investigation

Sheen joined others in calling for a revised and truly independent investigation of 9/11.

Sheen said that "September 11 wasn't the Zapruder film, it was the Zapruder film festival," and that the inquiry had to be, "headed, if this is possible, by some neutral investigative committee. What if we used retired political foreign nationals? What if we used experts that don't have any ties whatsoever to this administration?"

"It is up to us to reveal the truth. It is up to us because we owe it to the families, we owe it to the victims. We owe it to everybody's life who was drastically altered, horrifically that day and forever. We owe it to them to uncover what happened."

Charlie Sheen joins the rest of his great family and notably his father Martin Sheen, who has lambasted for opposing the Iraq war before it had begun yet has now been proven right in triplicate, in using his prominent public platform to stand for truth and justice and we applaud and salute his brave efforts, remembering Mark Twain's quote.

"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."

Character assassination is not my game. I'm simply telling you why few people will listen to what he says (except to maybe ridicule his statements). He may bag the babes faster than Bill Clinton but who will take him seriously when he talks politics?

Paul Craig Roberts is a different story. I read his columns all the time at lewrockwell.com. The guy tells it like it is: http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts-arch.html

Way I feel is I don´t care who says what to me, I´ll take the information and judge for myself how well it stands up. For instance, I feel the guy who wrote that piece is a lunatic with the worst interview technique I´ve seen but find some of what he says interesting.
And I don´t feel what Sheen´s talking about falls into the political ring, calling it politics is just a way to make finding out what happened seem like a task for specialists - though I´m not accusing you of manipulation, we´ve been pretty well conditioned to view world events like this - example: politicians´ mantra over here during the Vietnam war was "we must assess this from a political standpoint." Politics is vaudeville, massmurder is massmurder.

p.s. thanks for the link.

This thread helped me realize that I was confusing Charlie Sheen for Rob Lowe. Thank you forum, for setting me straight. Now I remember that Charlie was a Heidi Fleiss client, and it was Rob, not Charlie, who filmed himself doing teenagers at the Democratic National Convention.

Thanks for the report again Angry E, but for me to feel it was a thorough one they would have to cover how three buildings with asymmetrical fires managed to burn at such mathematically harmonious points as to make each one collapse neatly into its own footprint.

owen

to me you are a paradox wrapped in enigma

you seem very well read and intelligent

but please, wtf is mathematically harmonious, did you really write that?

i love the pixies, i love frank, pk dick is one of my favorite authors, i taught myself to draw by copying r.crumbs work, i love his cartoons especially angelfood mcspade and the snoid ones

i have lived in nyc my entire life, i was in the hood 9/11, so was my brother

i was on the street and managed to get away safely, my bro almost died

i spent time in the aftermath helping the search and rescue effort
my bro works for one of the big newsers doing sattelite uplinks
we had pretty unfettered access in the area

i've seen things and smelled things down there that i would love to be able to forget

if you really knew anything about explosive demolition you wouldn't be holding the pancake theory so dear

there are only a handful of people in the entire world that are capable and qualified to destroy buildings in that manner

they would not have been able to hide their activities, and there would be too many people with intimate knowledge of such activities to be able to keep it secret

anyone who got "disappeared" would have been missed

every time this subject comes up i get a little sick

you are certainly entitled to your odd opinion

i choose to believe my eyes rather than some half baked easily disproven conspiracy theories

i have two words i would like to leave you with:

occams razor

i'm glad you feel your work here is done

People who in every sense of the word survived 9/11 are understandably offended by conspiracy theories. I can't speak for Angry Elvis (and he makes his point clearly), but I do know that my best friend who lived 4 buildings from one of the towers and had to run for her life thru the cloud, etc., etc., is easily and deeply angered when people who were nowhere near try to tell her that something occurred other than what she witnessed and escaped. There is a vast difference between after-the-fact speculating and on-the-scene imperical knowledge.

Also, I've never heard a single person who was there dispute the terrorists-flying-planes explanation; conversely the people who do believe in other scenarios inevitably were not there.

Angry E, my remark about my work being done was me being jokingly proud of having helped clear up Kathryn´s confusion between Rob Lowe and Charlie Sheen.
When you mention halfbaked conspiracy theories, I´ll tell you now I am no fan of theories. Everyone has a theory about something or other, they´re too common to be helpful - when jetliners crash into a tower and someone who wasn´t actually on one of the jetliners sez I think they were piloted by 19 Arabs, that is a theory they hold about a conspiracy that took place. See, they´re not such dirty words are they?
But enough about theories, I noticed we seemed to have developed this weird wrinkle in our reasoning (whether it´s been indoctrinated or we nurtured it off our own bats) whereby people tend to hold them so dear that when a fact comes along that does not fit, instead of getting rid of the theory, the fact is dispensed with. So I prefer to listen to what people tell me and look for emerging patterns.

One thing here you said :
quote:
they would not have been able to hide their activities, and there would be too many people with intimate knowledge of such activities to be able to keep it secret



Regardless of who you feel committed the act, I´ll say that in top-down intelligence operations, knowledge is so rigidly compartmentalised that the left hand does not know what the right is doing - this is the nature of paramilitary endeavour.

I originally believed the military´s story about Sep 11, and felt it was a backlash from incursions into other countries. Then I started finding and hearing accounts that I had trouble reconciling with the official theory. I pass on this information not because I care what people think (I´ve said before I don´t and even if I did it would be tough shit for me because what other people think is none of my business) but because I feel that people should be able to have as much information as possible at their disposal, that´s it, take it or leave it.

What I meant by "mathematically harmonious" is the fashion in which demolition experts rig charges around the structure to ensure the building comes down neatly and symmetrically and does not damage neighbouring ones when it gets pulled - to "pull" being the industry term for a controlled demolition and the word WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein used to describe what he ordered NYFD to do to Building 7 later in the afternoon. You can see him say this on a PBS special America Rebuilds http://www.pbs.org/americarebuilds/.
Two things which contributed to me throwing out Silverstein´s story were 1) it takes weeks to rig a building in such a way and 2) NYFD do not train their personnel for controlled demolitions.

Then I found something which jibed with my impression that the attacks were unpredictable because they were orchestrated using methods our military government(s) had never thought of. Operation Northwoods was a project from 1962 approved by the Joint Chief of Staff but vetoed by Kennedy seeking pretexts to rally the American public to invade Cuba. It listed staged pretexts such as shooting Americans in the street, staging terrorist attacks in DC and Miami, hijacking Cuban or American airliners (and if an American airliner, switching it with a remote-controlled drone that would be crashed over Cuba to blame the Cubans). This is no empty theorising, this is public record, go see for yourself that September 11 has a historical precedent that hasn´t been deemed newsworthy.

I got to go meet a friend now about a book we´re working on, so I´ll just say if you don´t believe me it really makes no difference to me but all the same, you´re the only one who didn´t take the anger or ridicule route so thanks for asking questions and trying to understand (you like PKD so I assume you already got a taste for converging realities).

That piece is certainly lower on snideness than those that usually come out of fourth-estate press. It´s cool that they at least mentioned Building 7, but again, no mention of most of the things that really had researchers going like

- the FBI report of September 2001 stating the then-head of Pakistan´s intelligence agency ISI, General Mahmoud Ahmad, had transferred money to Mohammed Atta. Or Ahmad´s official visit to US from 4-13 September 2001 in which he met his counterpart CIA Director George Tenet and Deputy Secretary Richard Armitage, Colin Powell too.

- the 911 Comission Report claiming it was "not important" who funded the attacks. Which would be hilarious if thousands weren´t dead.

- this NASA and US Geological Survey thermal map taken five days later, after firemen had poured millions of gallons of water over the site (and it had rained in the interim), still one point where WTC 7 had been had a temperature higher than aluminium's melting point, 1341º, and another at the south tower measured 1377º.



Cheers Kathryn, I enjoyed reading that, plus was nice to see mention of that Father Morales character. I´d read and account of his of Ground Zero he´d dedicated to John Lennon a year or so back http://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/JohnJudge/linkscopy/Ground0Rpt.html

Google Caught Censoring Charlie Sheen 9/11 Story
Quickly re-indexes pages during live radio discussion

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | Updated March 24 2006

Update: Google has today started carrying Prison Planet.com as a news affiliate. Was their apparant censorship just a spidering error and are they are trying to make up for it? No one promotes Google more than us as they are clearly the best search engine company but their actions still call for us to be watchdogs.

Note: Before you e-mail please understand that we are aware of the fact that Google now carries links to Sheen 9/11 articles, that is not our point as you will read below. The censorship issue began before Google reversed their policy this afternoon.

Google is again embroiled in a censorship scandal after being caught blocking information about Charlie Sheen's 9/11 comments, despite the fact that every other major search engine had indexed the pages.

For days, major search engines like Yahoo and others contained tens of thousands of web pages relating to Sheen's comments first broadcast on the Alex Jones Show on Monday afternoon. Last night CNN aired a piece on the issue and by early this morning both the New York Post and the Boston Herald ran articles.

We first noticed that there were no search results related to the story on Google the day after we broke the Sheen story. At first we decided to be fair and wait another day for Google to index an article which was by now linked on thousands of other websites and blogs. By Thursday afternoon, and with the story receiving more traffic, Google still had not indexed any material relating to the Sheen interview, from Prison Planet.com or any other websites. This despite the fact that the Drudge Report had briefly directly linked to our article, sending it millions of visitors.

During a live radio discussion of this issue between Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson on Alex Jones' broadcast Thursday afternoon, Google, as if they had people listening to the show, immediately re-indexed the pages and a search for 'Charlie Sheen 9/11' now returns 111,000 results at time of writing.

Pictured below are screenshots we managed to cache shortly before Google re-indexed the pages with the search terms 'Charlie Sheen 9/11' and the entire headline "Actor Charlie Sheen Questions Official 9/11 Story". As you can see, the Boston Herald story is linked from Google News (Google do not censor their affiliates) but the main search engine below returned no results. To stress again, this is three days after we broke this massive story. The usual index time for a story of this size is 12-24 hours and at the same time that Google returned no results whatsoever, tens of thousands were being carried by other major search engines like Yahoo.





To make it crystal clear, Google's web spidering process is automated and we have received high Google rankings in the past for nothing stories that get little traffic. The Sheen story was linked everywhere and to eliminate it from Google's search results would have required technicians to physically access the spidering control panel and exclude an enormous amount of varied search terms.

Google has a history of censoring websites it dislikes within the US. Google Inc. banned and removed a mainstream news website from all its worldwide search engines, seemingly due to the website's reports on China's geopolitical affairs and military technology.

Google has banned its users inside the US and the rest of the world from accessing the Space War website from its search engine. Space War speculated at the time that this was at the behest of the "boys from Beijing."

Space War is a reasonably tame mainstream website that focuses on geopolitical affairs and satellite and military technology advancements. It is based in Australia and carries articles from AFP and United Press International.

After a complaints campaign supported by this website, Google agreed to re-index the website.

Did our defense of Space War cause Google to impose a blackballing campaign on our major articles or is this just a response to the sheer magnitude and influence of the Charlie Sheen story?

To emphasize, Google is now carrying search results related to Charlie Sheen's 9/11 comments, but only after it was exposed live on nationally syndicated radio that they had stonewalled this issue for three clear days even as it raged around the rest of the Internet as a viral story and broke into the mainstream yesterday and early this morning.

The floodgates on the Sheen story have opened, with CNN airing a balanced piece on the controversy. Meanwhile mainstream publications like Human Events, the New York Post, CBS and the Boston Herald used Sheen's comments to attack him and demonize anybody who questions the official line on 9/11. A round-up article of today's reaction to Charlie Sheen's comments will follow later tonight.

Charlie Sheen's Statement to the London Guardian
Challenges Press to Stop Slinging Mud, Confront The Science


Charlie Sheen felt compelled to respond to one of many hit-pieces against him, a column written for the London Guardian and carried by British commonwealth newspapers worldwide. Sheen sent his statement to The Australian newspaper. This is his full statement minus a phone number to his manager so that the paper could confirm its authenticity. This is a direct challenge for them to debate the facts.

Sheen Challenge to Media

I dare you to print this email in it's entirety ...

The mere fact that you did a cut and paste job of the slanderous and idiotic Marine Hyde London Journal piece, speaks volumes about your credibility as a major media entity.

Like so many other mainstream outlets, domestically and abroad, no attention whatsoever is given to the questions I raise or the evidence that stimulated those very questions.

Instead, low-brow idiotic hit pieces are spewed forth in an effort to sway the readers' opinion of the messenger while blatantly disregarding any of the potentially valuable content of the story. It's transparent sandbox propaganda as dated and cheap as the paper it's printed on.

Do a little research on Building Seven. Building Seven lives at the epicenter of my entire debate. Prove yourself worthy of genuine investigative journalism. Look at the video evidence.

Observe the same data I have. Submit a formal request to the Pentagon or the DOD to release video PROOF that flight 77 did exactly as they claim. You will be stonewalled. You will be dismissed unconditionally. If there is nothing to hide - why are they hiding it?

To avoid any confusion - I reiterate:

Building Seven - Pentagon video documentation.

If any portion, or portions of this text is any way deleted or manipulated, you will only confirm what myself and countless others have suspected all along: Media complicity with no interest in the truth.

A CNN poll at the time of this writing currently sits at 84 percent IN SUPPORT of my views.

Say what you must about me - it means nothing.

Yet, if you continue to overlook the hard questions and physical evidence regarding 9/11 - you only confirm what so many of us "Conspiracy Idiots" have suspected all along - The Official Report is, at best, an insulting work of FICTION.

Respectfully,
Charlie Sheen

I hate to say I told you so, but I did.

yep. For all the mention of easily disprovable theories, the things that actually started the controversy, nobody seems to be taking Sheen up on them.

Friend of mine posted on a blog an email from Sander Hicks, guy who runs Soft Skull Press in NY had been scheduled to talk about it on CNN tonight but was bumped because they couldn´t find anyone else to argue "the other side." (!) And the producer said something like "people are asking me ‘why are you bringing this up’." Maybe they´re going to start auditioning people to defend the official story.
