Glad you are re-visiting this intriguing narrative and that you decided to re-issue these finely crafted lyrics. One of my favourite of your ballads. You are a courageous person, David, take care.
Hollywood in the global south has always meant an American brand of propaganda packaged with infotainment and Rocky style bravado, a fake story to subvert Muhammad Ali’s cause, protest, and symbolic resonance throughout, the way Nadeli Pandor resonates today. Bread’s both sustenance and money but more particularly the U.S. dollar subverting national sovereignty from Nicaragua to Indonesia. That building name is just so dramatically hegemonic.
September 11 was very close and personal for me, so I can assure you nobody would like more than me to know if there is some conspiracy beyond the basic storyline that most have come to accept.
I’ve heard lots of the theories; in any case where I can verify the details, it falls apart. As I say, if there is more, please bring it out. But you have to prove it, or at least make it plausible. I have not heard the Hollywood Bread one but I suspect it would also not stand up to scrutiny. If anyone has hard evidence, please share it.
We know that the FBI and CIA dropped the ball more than once, we know the airlines were too complacent, even NY State building regulations were too lax, and Osama bin Laden has claimed credit for the operation. It sure looks to me like something pretty close to the official narrative. Once again, if there is more, nobody wants to know more than me. Please bring it on.
I put limited faith in the paid troll theory too. It’s possible, but I have been accused of being a paid troll for comments that disagreed with the blogger. Rest assured I am not. I think they are pretty rare.
Interesting. Never would have put Israel at the top of my suspects for 9/11 before but this story might change that. The celebrating Israelis in New Jersey were also working for a moving company by the way. Might be of interest to see if it’s the same one.
I am the 'anonymous friend'. Thank you David for tackling this complicated subject and making another great song out of it.
I will attach my original account below. There are some minor details that are different than David's account above, but mostly that's all correct. I would like to point out that I have no idea what happened on 9/11 and I never claimed that I did. What I do know is that the official story doesn't add up to make sense, if nothing else than from my personal experience. So, without further ado:
9/11 and the Hollywood Bread Building
Final update. Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. In the face of COVID-19, where currently we lose as many people as died on 9/11 every 48 hours, it almost seems irrelevant. But it happened, and it set a ton of global developments in motion, and as a result, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, died.
These attacks have seriously messed with my life for years and I am unburdening myself of it now. I will let it lie from now on. It is was it is. I doubt we will ever find out what happened. I am looking for a way to park this document somewhere permanently, where it can’t be erased. I am now moving forward. I think it’s still a fascinating read, and I’m the one who lived it. I made a couple of final grammar corrections and corrected two dates, this is now the final version. Period. If you want to share it, feel free to copy and paste it. I would still prefer if you didn’t use my name. Be safe, and be well.
With the 15th anniversary of the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States coming up, I decided to write down what I know about what lead up to them. You see, I knew Mohammed Atta…
I should have written this down years ago, but for the first years I feared for my and my family’s lives, and after that had passed, I guess I just wanted to put it behind me. I am sure that after 15 years, I might have some details wrong, but the core story is correct. I am not a conspiracy nut, I don’t know what happened exactly, except that you might agree with me after reading this, that the official story that we have been told is likely a load of bullshit.
I never found the official 9/11 narrative convincing, to say the least. The story’s got a dozen plot holes big enough to fly a plane through. NORAD? AWOL. Building 7 and its smoldering office furniture? Pancaked too. The pentagon, with a round hole and no video. A charred Pennsylvania field with no airplane debris. Pilots who trained in Cessnas. Airline stock selloffs. Box knives. Atta’s passport found in the rubble. First responders who heard and saw explosions prior to the collapse.
Yet none of my healthy skepticism constitutes a theory, much less a conspiracy. I just don’t think it was nineteen guys with box knives.

Most interesting point: that the FBI weren't interested.
