What happened on 911 coverup signifies an absence of democratic, transparent, and accountable government. Establishing the truth is, in part, about restoring honesty, trust, and confidence in the American political system

00:00. My name is Christopher Gioia and I'm a fire commissioner with the Franklin Square Munson Fire District in the town of Franklin Square New York, Nassau County, which is near the Queens border.  On the morning of September 11th, 2001, I was working on the Brooklyn side of the East River just north of the Williamsburg Bridge and had a spectacular view of Manhattan and the Twin Towers.  Having been an eyewitness to the attacks that day and from being called to duty to assist the fire department of New York and the following days and weeks afterward, 9/11 has never been far from my thoughts having been burned forever into my soul.  The 9/11 Commission concluded that Osama bin Laden and a group of Islamic extremists were responsible and carried out the attacks and that was to be the end of it.  Truth be told, that is far from the end of it.  The 9/11 Commission was flawed and in the words of two of its own, the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the 9/11 Commission, respectively, Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton, stated in their book, Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 911 Commission, 2006, that they were "set up to fail" and were "starved of funds to do a proper investigation."  And that's their own words.  They also confirmed that they were denied access to the truth and misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the Federal Aviation Authority and that this obstruction and deception led them to contemplate slapping officials with criminal charges.  The final report did not examine key evidence and neglected serious anomalies and various accounts of what happened.  The commissioners themselves admit their report was "incomplete and flawed" and that many questions about the terror attacks remain unanswered.

Nevertheless, the 9/11 Commission was swiftly closed on August 21st, 2004.  Architects and Engineers from 911 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, and the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry, to name a few, raise valid and important questions that were never even considered, let alone answered by the official investigation.  The bottom line here is that the American public has not been told the complete truth about the events of that fateful autumn morning 18 years ago.  What happened on 9/11 is fundamentally important but equally important is the way that 9/11 cover up the signifies an absence of democratic transparent and accountable government establishing the truth is in part about restoring honesty and trust and confidence in the American political system.
