I failed to post my first chat with Rasheed Muhammed, the creator of the Red Pill Diaries. I really enjoy the chance to have a virtual sit down and leisurely but informed chat with Rasheed. He is a class act. Here is my 20 September interview followed by a video Rasheed did with Scott Bennett.
And here is Mr. Scott Bennett:
The “missing money” conspiracy theory thing is completely out of context BS. What Rumsfeld was saying was that centralized accounting was not easy b/c the various departments were using different systems that couldn’t talk to each other; not that $trillions were literally missing. The conspiracy theorists took one line out of context and twisted it to a new and unintended meaning to fit their delusions. Anyone who takes the time to read the complete transcript of Rumsfeld’s presentation would know better (and I don’t even like Rumsfeld or any other of Bush Jr’s administration). The how stupid is it that entire buildings would be destroyed w/ thousands killed just to cover up an accounting issue? How would that even work given that data is on servers and networks, not sitting in file cabinet in the building? Why not just wreck the computer network and claim Russia hacked it (or whatever)? Talk about mental problems. He’s right there w/ Greta.
Then, of course, there’s all the whole nonsense about controlled demolitions and the demonstrably false tale of a missile instead of a jet hitting the Pentagon. This bone head, Scott Benet, discredits himself with this crap. Too bad. Maybe the rest of what he had to say had some value, but who can believe him after all that silliness that he spouted? Shrinks should stay in their lane and not try to be demolitions experts, airplane crash investigators, etc.
Dr. Mark Skidmore has done considerable work on the missing money, and the problems are not due to incompatibility of the computer systems.

Skidmore is an attention seeking sensationalist and has no idea what he’s talking about.
But I’ll ask again, if Skidmore was correct, what good would it do to blow up a building as an effort to hide the crime? The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous and demonstrates something like a third grader’s knowledge level of how the world works. Sure, the only financial and accounting records pertaining to the massive theft and related budgets are paper copies in one office in NY City. Uh huh. Ok.
But let’s go along with that silly notion. Wouldn’t it be easier and a little less risky and obvious to simply take these paper records and put them in a shredder?
Here’s what Rumsfeld actually said on 9/10
“The technology revolution has transformed organizations across the private sector, but not ours, not fully, not yet. We are, as they say, tangled in our anchor chain. Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor in this building because it’s stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible or incompatible.”

It is also important to note that Rumsfeld was making a case for transformation within a bureaucracy. When you attempt to do that, you must first lay the foundation for why the transformation is necessary; not an easy task. So you resort to some hyperbole and wort case scenario fear mongering within memes and talking points.
I have no doubt that the federal govt mismanages funds, has poor accounting practices and even outright mishandles money in illegal ways. That said, the idea that 9/11 was a cover up for any of that is the product of misfiring neural synapses. Even Rumsfeld states that the accounting data is on servers in DC, not in files in an office in NY City.
Btw, what did Rumsfeld say on July 17th that could be incorporated into the kaleidoscopic theory making processes of the conspiracy mongers? How about on May 25th? Dec 3rd?
Let’s just take one thing here Eric. You believe that an airplane, a jetliner, hit the Pentagon? Really?! Have you looked at that part of the Pentagon building? I looked at it just hours after it was hit. I have a pretty good memory…still. And I have to tell you Eric old boy, there weren’t NO jetliner wreckage at the Pentagon. That to me is the EASIEST lie about 9/11 to call.
Look, I have friends in DEA. Their building is south of the Pentagon. They saw the plane. They saw it hit.
What about WTC 7?
Do you really believe it imploded on its own?
I’m not arguing with you. I just don’t know who to believe. On its surface, it raises a lot of red flags.
WTC7 was hit by burning debris ejected by the hits on the main towers. It burned for hours which weakened steel structural support and there was already massive structural damage on the building from the impact of the burning debris. Photos are readily available on line.
I don’t get why people think a building can’t fall more or less straight down. What do they think it would do? Fly up into the clouds? There’s this force called “Gravity”. It’s worth looking into.
You could crash planes into those towers all day and all you’d get is aluminum confetti
right, because jet fuel is non-combustible
I have seen plenty of airplane bits at the Pentagon, inside and outside. There are even ample photos available on line.
And the people on board the airplanes? Taken to an airplane hanger and gunned down after being forced to make heart wrenching last calls to loved ones about hijackers, etc?
WTC Building 7 is the key to understanding 9/11. Everything else is moot.
WTC #7 fell in its own footprint at the speed of gravity many hours after WTC #1 and #2 fell. Nothing hit WTC #7.
Obvious demolition.
Video evidence abounds.
Anyone who argues that WTC #7 collapsed due to an office fire is simply dishonest or a shill. The metal beams didn’t distort or twist as the building fire rose in temperature, they collapsed all at the same time. Sheared off cleanly and completely.
It fell in its own footprint.
A planned demolition couldn’t have done it any better.
Once you understand this, it is clear that 9/11 was an inside job. The Who and the Why remain open to speculation. But the result is also clear: never-ending war and profit for the military-industrial complex. And political cover for international enforcement of dollar hegemony for and on behalf of the globalist bankers.
Yes, totally ridiculous. The dara servers and backups were safely stored off site, the Solomon Brothers building ssfe from all…… oh never mind
Thanks LJ for pointing out this RPD , it is hard nowadays to listen to good people
The cognitive dissidence regarding 9/11 is too much for most people thus won’t accept that their own government would carry out this operation. Why not? It have them the “war on terror” for 20yrs, while instituting Big Brother.
Just one of the issues I have w/ these conspiracy theories is that they deny the presence of evil in the rest of the world and, instead, point a finger at the United States as if it is the devil in the Garden of Eden. This is a dangerous outlook (in addition to being naive and stupid). It’s also why I take issue w/ commentators like Moon of Alabama, Andrei M. and others. Yes, the US can do evil. It can even conspire to do evil as it is currently in the Ukraine. However, there are plenty of non-US actors who are at least as bad.
Bin Laden and his band of not-so-merry Jihadists had blown up plenty of stuff and killed plenty of people prior to 9/11. Bin Laden had essentially declared war (jihad) on the US. A like minded group had tried to bring the towers down once already in 1993. It really doesn’t stretch the imagination to conceive of these jihadists concocting another plot to attack the towers (+ other symbols of US power like the Pentagon and the Capitol). The motive was there. The declared desire to do it was there. The opportunity was there. It was a simple, but elegant, feasible plan. Why wouldn’t the jihadists execute it?
As for neocons needing 9/11 for their nefarious plans, I don’t think so. There was enough that already happened to go ahead w/ a war on terrorism.
Embrace the power of both-and, Eric.
Your counterargument doesn’t obviate the theory that the feds were behind 9-11. Both can be true. As we see w most if not all of the so called domestic terror, the fbi has a curious hand in these things. It’s completely possible that the feds cultivated and indirectly assisted a group of jihadis to carry out the attacks on 9.11. A win win so to speak. The jihadis get their big victory over the great satan and the feds get a national crisis that guarantees sweeping invasions of privacy, weaponization of tech and federal agencies, and trillions in federal spending benefiting everyone connected with the dc power center.
While some people may ascribe overly ambitious explanations for 9.11, yours, Eric, are suspiciously unambitious. Why can’t you concede that dc had a hand in the events, particularly in light of all the “shenanigans ” we’ve discovered by dc operatives in the last 7 years?
Hi Larry,
I think the work you do giving your time and knowledge to ‘citizen journalists’ platforms is the most important contribution anyone could do in these troubled times.
Getting down in the trenches is the only way to spread the mass awakening and you do it better than anyone.
I salute you sir.
