The Ballad of Mohamed Atta - What is Myth? What is True?

The Ballad of Mohamed Atta – Vic Sadot at Last FM on “9/11 Truth & Justice Songs”. Great violin by Vic's buddy Eric Golub. This song was written after reading the Australian Broadcast Corporation interviews by Liz Jackson with Ralph Bodenstein & Volker Hauth who were buddies with Mohamed Atta in their college days. They simply could not imagine him being the person described in the US Press. Research by Daniel Hopsicker of Mad Cow News “Welcome to Terrorland” revealed a Mohamed devoid of religion & addicted to sex & drugs, who had Visas & US military training at Huffman Aviation & Pensacola Naval Base in Florida. What is myth? What is true? http://www.last.fm/music/Vic+Sadot/_/Ballad+of+Mohamed+Atta

Links are provided below the lyrics for two Australian Broadcasting Corporation interviews by Liz Jackson in October 2001, and to Daniel Hopsicker's reseach in Florida right after the 9/11 attacks, "Welcome To Terrorland". The glaring opposite characterizations of Mohamed Atta were the genesis of this reflective song for truth and justice. Was the "suspect" possibly an "asset" or a "patsy"? The chord progression is a simple strum of this chord progression: G Am D G 3 times with the last line being G Am D Em. The song is offered as a free downloadable mp3 at Last FM where Vic writes blogs about topical songwriting and founded the group called "Broadside Balladeers". See link below.

The Ballad of Mohamed Atta

His name was Mohamed El-Amir Atta
Cutest babe in the world to his ma and his pa
They were hard working people… did all that they could…
To teach him right from wrong like any good parent would
He was born in the land of King Tut’s pyramid
Did he grow up to do what they say that he did?
Did he murder 3,000 by flying a plane…
Into the World Trade Center with rage in his brain?

When he was a young boy, he did well in school
He was taught to be kind in a world that was cruel
His father and mother raised him to be good
What it meant to be Muslim was well understood
A generous, peace-loving community
But all that was threatened by the economy
By the great “western system”… the greed and suffering it sows
By the great “New World Order” they seek to impose

He studied Urban Planning in old Germany
He dreamed ancient Egypt could be modern and free
He worked with Ralph Bodenstein and Volker Hauth
It was winter ’94 when they flew east and south
They’d landed a project in “Old Town Cairo”
They were so young and hopeful so long ago
They gathered information on the economy
On the effects of decisions on the people they’d see

On historic preservation, polluting industry
High class corruption and vast poverty
Strawberries for export instead of wheat for the poor
It had to be imported from the great US store
Storm troopers were storming the old neighborhoods
Knockin’ down doors… Killing just cause they could
The Egyptian, Israeli, and US ruling class
Made plans that were clashing with the citizen mass

And up from the masses there rose with a rush
A great wave of resistance they would brutally crush
They rounded up thousands, imprisoned them too
They tortured and murdered like state terrorists do
Mohamed begged his colleagues, “Please do not speak out”
It might get him “criminalized”… No job come about…
Cause he dreamed social planning could be done with a heart
But the wolves of the world would soon tear that apart!

In Florida he was a drunkard, a “covorter” about
Buying sex with the call girls… No longer devout!
In Pensacola US Naval Station…
And Huffman Aviation, what “training” was done?
How’d he get a Visa to get in the USA?
Who enabled this danger, and who paid his way?
And what was his mission? Who was he working for?
Was he really a hijacker? How can we be sure?

Yes, what happened later to the kid who could care?
Was his growing awareness just too much to bare?
Did he “crack up”? … or “link up” with a very bad crowd?
Was he an Al Qaida asset that the CIA endowed?
Yes, what happened later to Mohamed Atta?
Named as “chief suspect” of a terror fatwah…
But was it a “fatwah” or a “special ops” design?
For who had the means to pull off such a crime?

His name was “Mohamed El-Amir Atta”
Can we tell the truth from the propaganda?
Was he an “attacker” or a “patsy” to blame?
Was somebody else maybe even using his name?
His name was “Mohamed El-Amir Atta”
Can you tell the truth from the propaganda?
If you get your “truth” from the war profiteers,
The truth of your prophets may well disappear!

Storm troopers are storming the old neighborhoods
In Bagdad and Basra and Fallujah there’s blood!
Compradors of Iraq and the US ruling class
Made plans to wage war on the great Muslim mass
Do you know what they’re planning to do in your name?
In the name of “Democracy”, it’s a sham and a shame!
‘Cause all of this killing comes out of the claims…
Of the “Official Story” and whoever it blames!

Questions about the Death and Dumping at Sea of Osama bin Laden

Osama bin Laden: Dead or Alive? If he is dead, when did he die?

Was he really the "mastermind of 9/11", or not?

How can we know the truth?

One thing we know is that Osama bin Laden was a CIA asset used to recruit Muslim fundamentalists to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. What else do we know for sure? Why would Obama claim to have ordered a kill on Osama, and then dispose of his body at sea? Does that sound like the American way of justice? 

Dr. David Ray Griffin published “Osama bin Laden Dead or Alive” in 2009. It's a good read today! Evidence of fraud is abundant. The questions he raises need to be answered. http://noliesradio.org/archives/3230

The Corporate media spin machine has cranked out an avalanche of "reports" on the "daring" execution of a supposedly-alive Osama bin Laden hiding in a “million dollar mansion” in Pakistan. The story of the amazing commando raid may end up being another high-tech production from the same folks who brought us the lies about Pat Tillman, Jessica Lynch, & WMD in Iraq. In the case of Pat Tillman, the "official glory story" was that he got killed in a shoot out with the Taliban. Later, as the Tillman family bravely pressed on and on for the truth, the story was amended to be "friendly fire". Then the military coroner report revealed that the evidence showed that Pat Tillman was shot "by 3 bullets to the forehead at 10 yards range". Ignored AP story:

In the case of Jessica Lynch, she refused to go along with the "official glory story". She testified to Congress that she was wounded by an explosion, not in a firefight. Iraqi hospital authorities informed the US military that she was alive and well and under their care. But the Pentagon sent a commando unit in there to "rescue the heroic soldier". Was the truth less important than having a recruitment poster boy and girl to use to lie to young people about corporate resource & domination wars?

In the aftermath of 9/11, we were all in "shock & awe" as the media reported “explosions” at the WTC (World Trade Center) and the Pentagon. This was rapidly revised to the "official story" that the jet fuel from the planes that hit the two tallest towers of the WTC complex "melted the steel" and caused their collapse. It's against the laws of physics! Both Dan Rather and Peter Jennings mused aloud as it was happening that the only way that steel frame buildings could be brought down by fire would be to "get at the inner structures" as in a "demolition". What's worse, the WTC buildings did not just collapse. They disintegrated to dust in 10 seconds! Building 7, which was not hit by a plane, did so in 7 seconds at around 5:30 that evening. In fact, on Sept 10, 2001 Dan Rather reported on CBS that Osama bin Laden was in a Pakistani military hospital getting dialysis treatments for kidney failure. Read about that here:

If you are asking yourself how "Muslim terrorists" could get access to the 3 WTC buildings to destroy them by demolition, that is a legitimate question. It also leads to the possibility that others would more likely have such access. Kevin Ryan, who worked for the company, Underwriters Laboratories Inc, that certified the steel in the WTC, lost his job when he raised questions about the government's NIST report. He worked with a team of scientists associated with “Scholars for 9/11 Truth” to examine dust from the WTC. They published a scientific “peer review” paper that was completely ignored by the corporate media because it showed photos of microscopic particles that indicate that "nano thermate" was used in the demolition.

A team of scientist and engineer published a for peer review paper in the Open Chemical Physics Journal: Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe by Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer, Steven E. Jones, Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg Roberts, James R. Gourley, and Bradley R. Larsen. Read about the peer review paper here at: http://www.ae911truth.org/en/news-section/41-articles/351-advanced-pyrotechnic-or-explosive-material-discovered-in-wtc-dust.html

Thermite is used in industrial demolitions. Adding sulfur makes it Thermate, which can melt steel. But only the US and some allied militaries would have access to "nano thermate". Kevin Ryan recently wrote an article on the question of access to the WTC.

Bush and Cheney resisted having a Commission set up to investigate the events of 9/11 for almost two years. Only when victim family members, particularly a group known as "The Jersey Girls", pressed on for the truth, did they create a commission. Bush named National Security Director Condoleezza Rice's assistant, Philip Zelikow, to be Executive Director. A cover-up was predictable. Watch the movie about “The Jersey Girls”, "9/11: Press for Truth", & discuss it with friends & family: http://youtu.be/iMT2CHSvyGw

David Ray Griffin spent most of his life as a professor of theology. But once he began to investigate 9/11 he produced many good books on the subject and he has spoken all over the world about it. The "official story" was very useful propaganda in support of wars and repressive laws, which violate the Constitution. They are bad for Americans and even worse for the corporate empire's victims. This "Guns & Butter" interview with Dr. David Ray Griffin by Bonnie Faulkner on KPFA about his book "Osama Bin Laden Dead of Alive" was originally broadcast in 2009. It was especially timely to re-broadcast this on May 2, 2011, a day after President Obama made a speech stating that he ordered a special ops unit into Pakistan to execute Osama bin Laden and to dump the body into the ocean. The President claimed he gave the order to dump the body of Osama bin Laden into the ocean out of respect for Muslim practice. Is such an act not closer to Mafia practice than Muslim practice? It certainly makes it impossible to verify that bin Laden was the one killed and that that was his body that they dumped at sea! DNA could have been acquired long ago during one of bin Laden's hospital visits for kidney failure.
