Real investigation of 9/11 coup d’état would destabilize US: Scholar

The US government is hesitant to investigate the September 11, 2001 attacks because a real investigation of 9/11 would destabilize the US political system, according to an American scholar in Wisconsin.

Dr. Kevin Barrett, a founding member of the Scientific Panel for the Investigation of 9/11, made the remarks during an interview with Press TV on Friday, when the United States commemorated the 14th anniversary of the September 11, attacks that left thousands of people dead.

“A real investigation of 9/11 would destabilize the United States’ political system… and it could even lead to a civil war,” Dr. Barrett said.

“The truth about 9/11 is so horrific that if the American people actually were to learn that truth they would completely lose confidence in their system, because the truth of matter is that a faction of power here in the United States – the neoconservative faction – orchestrated the events of the September 11, 2001 as a New Pearl Harbor designed to launch their agenda of world domination and a rollback of freedom in the United States,” he added.

The September 11 attacks, also known as the 9/11 attacks, were a series of strikes in the US which killed nearly 3,000 people and caused about $10 billion worth of property and infrastructure damage.

US officials assert that the attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda terrorists but many experts have raised questions about the official account. They believe that rogue elements within the US government orchestrated or at least encouraged the 9/11 attacks in order to accelerate the US war machine and advance the Zionist agenda.

“Essentially, the United States has been ruined, its Constitution has been shredded, its economy has been destroyed, all in the name of an utterly bogus war on terrorism that started with an inside job on September 11 – a neoconservative coup d’état,” said Dr. Barrett, the author of Questioning the War on Terror.

When asked why the neoconservatives did 9/11, the scholar said that “they told us exactly why they did it. Just read their writings and listen to their speeches. People like Patrick Clawson of the Washington Institute of Near East Policy has open called another false flag event like 9/11, like Pearl Harbor… the fake invasion of Mexico, the Gulf of Tonkin.”

“Patrick Clawson of that leading Israeli-sponsored Jewish policy institute has told us that we need a false flag event, a fake attack, blamed on Iran to launch a war on Iran. He openly says that. You can watch him say in a video,” he stated.

“The neoconservatives have openly admitted why they are doing what they are doing. They follow the Trotskyisan philosophy of governance through big lies and mass violence. And they believe they are elite that has the right, even the duty, to manipulate the minds of the public by creating fake terror events in order to achieve their agenda,” the analyst noted.  

“They called for a New Pearl Harbor one year before 9 /11 and they got it. They have not even hidden their trail. It’s kind of disgusting that other scholars haven’t picked up on this,” Dr. Barrett concluded.
