So a few weeks ago as I was flipping channels, I came across the new Jadakiss video, "WHY?". I could only assume it was the new Jadakiss video because I knew that his new album "Kiss of Death" had just dropped. (There were a million posters on telephone poles proclaiming it's release, on MUSIC ROW. Traditionally a Country Music placemarker.)The thing that caught my attention was a procession of people he was leading down the street holding protest signs. One of which appeared on screen so briefly, it made the viewer question the arrangement of the letters.
I believe it said...
FCUK BUSH
As I said, it flashed on screen and made me go, "Oh shit, that said FUCK BUSH!!!". As I smiled and watched the remainder of the video I listened to some of the words. Enough to like what he was saying, but not enough to hear what I would eventually hear about. (probably was the censored version)
In his new "Joint", Jadakiss asks President Bush why he knocked down the Twin Towers. Wow! It's caused so much of a stir that radio stations are refusing to play the unedited version of the song. In some places, people are calling up and complaining enough so that the stations will play the song. And they do.
This all has sat in my brain awhile and I was eager to go to his site to see if he had any "official" response about his controversial remarks.
No, nothing on the front page. No, nothing on the bio. Ahhhhhh, lets' check the forums and see if anyone has a problem with what he said, maybe there's a response there!!!
What I came across was your usual BBoard full of 12yr old fans and their chat/l33t speak and one incendiary "Fuck Ni@@ers and Jadakiss" Thread.
Yikes!!! I figured that would be an interesting thread, to watch some dumb asshole get his computer shoved up his ass. So I clicked, and got just what I was looking for...
It was because of the "Towers" remarks (and his own ignorance) that he decided to post to the site. Which led to a lengthy cross-board discussion featuring a lot of political posturing and racial epithets against almost
every ethnicity.
Eventually, some one said, Prove it. You got no proof that Bush was behind it.
Some people gave the reasons Michael Moore did in his film, Some blamed Clinton's inefficiency of taking care of the terrorists in the first place.
But one guy listed a lot of good information that pretty much ended the discussion. I still haven't read all of the links, so I'll re-post what he said here so you can check them with me. I figure, if Jadakiss believes, I should at least check it out, Right??? Let's see if we can read this together.

When Jadakiss was asked why he included the towers lyric he said something like "Well, where I'm from (New York), a lotta people think he had something to do with that." So it's people in New York that you have a problem with, not black people. And the people in New York should know, they were there, they heard the explosions as the building disentegrated, they saw WTC 7 brought down in a controlled demolition in broad daylight, unlike you who has no clue that a third WTC skyscraper even collapsed that day, because you only get your info from mainstream sources, though I doubt you even watch or read the news.
Start with this video of 7 World Trade Center collapsing:

Building 7 was across the street from the Towers. It wasn't hit by an airplane, and was only superficially damaged by debris. There were only two isolated fires perceptable on floors 7 and 12.

At 5:20pm it suddenly collapsed into a small pile of rubble. Buildings don't just implode on themselves in six seconds because of a few office fires. It takes a blowtourch to melt steel, not to mention huge columns in a 47-story building. The video shows that the collapse occured due to the failure of all of the main-load bearing columns in a precise sequence. Supports connected to the outer walls were left intact, causing the outer walls to drape over the debris pile, which itself barely extended beyond the building's footprint. This is the hallmark of a controlled demolition.
In this footage from CBS on 9/11, Dan Rather himself remarks on the obvious: that the building appears to have been brought down by explosives in a controlled demolition.

There are also questions about whether there were explosives in Towers 1 and 2. The Fire Chief thought so:

As did this reporter who was above in a helicopter:

These firefighters seem to suspect it:

As did others:

The firefighter tapes from the South Tower reveal that the firefighters had reached the floors where the plane impacted, were developing strategies for putting the fires out, and called for reinforcemnets, never thinking the building would collapse. That they could calmly walk and work at the impact point proves that what fires where burning could not have been hot enough to weaken steel.

The New York City Mayor had at first refused to release the firefighter tapes, citing the privacy of the families, until the families sued him to release them. The firefighters were told they had to sign a confidentiallity agreement if they wanted to hear the tapes; they refused. The tapes were finally leaked to the press from firefighters who got their hands on them.

The only definitive way to know how any of the World Trade Center buildings collapsed is to study the steel from the debris. Unfortunately, all of the steel was shipped to China before anyone could investigate it:

Another issue is the total lack of any air defense on 9/11. The first plane turned off its transponder around 8:12am, and Flight 93 didn't crash in Pennsylvania until 10:06am. NORAD was unable to intercept any of the hijacked aircraft, as was standard operating procedure, even though it is their job to protect the country's airspace and they have many armed and ready F-16s to do so. Standard operating procedure dictates that the FAA notify NORAD if they lose radar or radio contact with any plane. NORAD claims they weren't notified until 8:40am. This hardly seems likely, but even if true they still had plenty of time to intercept the two aircraft that didn't crash into the WTC Towers. Besides which, NORAD is aware of every inch of American Airspace on their own. When the first plane turned its transponder off, around 8:12am NORAD knew then there was a problem without being told. Had standard operating procedures been followed in a timely way, 9/11 could have been avoided. Why SOPs were deliberately ignored in the Nation's worst crisis has never been explained.

One last thing to look at is the relationship between our CIA and ISI, the Pakistani intelligence service. The CIA created the modern ISI as its middleman to create, train, fund, and control the Mujahadeen who were fighting the USSR in Afghanistan. An indication of just how this relationship works is that the CIA has final approval on the Director of ISI. The last such Director, Gen. Ahmad, it has been confirmed by the FBI, wired Mohammed Atta $100,000, which financed the hijackers.

The week of 9/11, Gen. Ahmad was in Washington DC, meeting with top officials in the Pentagon, the State Dept., the White House, and the CIA.

I'll post again, when I've read it all.
Until then, try to hear an uncensored version of the song.
