Lately, I’ve been avoiding the news because I just get so worried and angry. Not good for my energy. So, when I take breaks, I watch the animal planet. Maybe not a good idea. It’s so heartbreaking to watch shows like Animal Cops Houston or Pit Bulls and Parolees because I see how so many animals are neglected or abused. Some of the cases are so horrible that I have to watch YouTubes of humans rescuing animals so humanity can redeem itself. 

Don’t forget about Erik’s Hour of Enlightenment radio show tonight at 5:00 PM PT/7:00 PM CT/8:00 PM ET. No more than 15 minutes before the top of the hour, call 619-639-4606 to ask Erik your question. There are three ways to listen: Listen on the phone line, click on the “Listen” icon on the right sidebar of the blog or click HERE.

Enjoy Part One of our interview with the 911 terrorists.

Me: Hi, Robert! How are you doing?

Robert: Good.

Me: Great! Hi, Erik.

Erik (waving his hands really fast): Hi, Mom.

Me: You’re so silly. Do you want to bring in 1 or 2 of the 911 terrorists?

Robert: Yeah, I was talking to him about that. He’s bringing them.

Me: Okay.

Robert: They’re here.

Erik: I can’t promise that they’ll behave.

Me: Okay, well, we’ll try. We can only try. Do you see anybody?

Robert: I see a couple of people.

Me: What do they look like?

Robert: They all have short hair, and one of them has a beard.

Me: Okay. Well, hello and thank you for coming.

Robert: I think his name is—it’s been all over the news, so maybe that’s why I’m getting this, but he kind of looks like someone I’ve seen on television. I think his name was Mohammed.

Me: Well, that’s a pretty easy guess!

Robert: Last name, Atta, or something like that.

I greet them again.

911 Terrorist: Thank you.

Robert (chuckling): They’re very polite!

Me: Okay, well, do you mind if we ask you some questions?

911 Terrorist: Please.

Me: Oh, okay. Good.

Robert: They said something about Allah. It’s basically, “God is good.”

Me: Allah ak-bar?

I have no idea how to spell that, so…

Robert: Yeah, that sounds right.

Me: Well some people in the United States think that the whole 911 thing was caused by our government and that the government placed these bombs in the towers and that you guys really didn’t do anything. Is that the case?

911 Terrorist: That’s not true.

Me: Okay. Here are some questions from blog members. They say there was not wreckage of a plane at the Pentagon, yet reports claimed they found the wreckage. What’s up with that?

Robert: The one I’m talking to wasn’t in that plane. So this was at the Pentagon?

Me: Yeah.

Robert: From his human side, he has no idea what that’s all about.

Me: Okay, from your spirit side?

Robert: From the spirit side, oh yeah. He’s getting ready to answer that.

911 Terrorist: There was wreckage, but it was taken away, quarantined.

Me: Oh, that makes sense.

911 Terrorist: To be studied.

Me: So was this a terrorist plot of ISIS and Osama bin Laden? Who was behind the plot?

911 Terrorist: The group affiliated with bin Laden.

Me: Okay, bin Laden. Al Qaeda?

911 Terrorist: Yeah.

Me: Okay. I don’t know why this person said—

Robert: He says that Al Qaeda is the name, but there’s apparently a group we don’t know about.

Me: Oh, really?

Robert: bin Laden is around here somewhere. I can feel him. He used these groups as a means to an end, for his own personal ambitions.

Me: Okay.

Robert: He may have been the father or creator of these groups, but they were just a means to an end, to pull people in.

Me: Okay.

Robert: And ISIS wasn’t even around then.

Me: Well, what is the name of the group responsible for the 911 attacks?

Robert: Well, the group was Al Qaeda.

Bin Laden: The group was just a label to put on it. There was no group that Al Qaeda was working under.

Robert: It was bin Laden’s principles and ideas.

Me: Oh, I see. So bin Laden was like, “Okay, here’s what we’re going to do. You’re going to do this, and you’re going to do that.”

Bin Laden: Al Qaeda was just a name to put on my principles.

Me: I gotcha. It wasn’t inspired by Al Qaeda as a collective? It was conducted by Al Qaeda.

Robert: No, I think that’s where things are getting mixed up.

I’m so confused.

Robert: Al Qaeda was the name, of course, so there was a group, Al Qaeda, but what bin Laden and this other person is saying is that Al Qaeda, itself, was really, uh, there was never an intention to have a group called that, but the group became a name to apply to the principles they hold themselves.

Me: Okay.

Robert: It represented their philosophy.

Me: All right. (reading) “Was it one person or a group of people?” We already know that answer.

Mohamed Atta: It was a group.

Me: Was anybody in the United States involved? American citizens?

Mohamed Atta: No.

Me: Okay, “The departure times for the planes is missing, even now. What happened to the planes? Were they really hijacked?” This is a conspiracy guy, I guess.

Mohamed Atta: This is exactly what we wanted to happen. We wanted people to be more distrustful of their government and other people, so everyone is doing exactly what we wanted.

Me: Oh, great! “Were the planes operated by remote control?”

Mohamed Atta: No, everything that happened was as you’ve been told.

Robert: There’s somebody else coming in, somebody in the military who passed away during that time period. He says he’s a general.

Military Dude: Everything that was said—and of course there’s information that’s going to be kept out so that we wouldn’t have trouble finding certain people and so there wouldn’t be misunderstandings. Maybe those people were from a certain country, and if you released that information when that country had no direct ties to it, then people might start hating that country.

Me: Yeah.

Robert: His name is Raymond or Randall. Something like that.

Me: Randall? Really? Who is he?

Robert: He said he worked at the Pentagon.

Me: Okay, this is a good question for him, then. “Did the CIA or FBI have advanced knowledge of the attacks?”

Randall: I didn’t work under those divisions, but I can tell you that they always get lots and lots of information, and they might not necessarily realize at the moment that you have to react right away. It takes a while for that stuff to be processed and analyzed.

Me: Sure.

Randall: It’s gotten quicker, now, and there’s good and bad to that.

Me: This person wants to know if it was a trick to get us to go to war or get people to sign up for the military, but basically it was Osama bin Laden inspiring you guys to sacrifice your lives to bring down the twin towers, and the ultimate goal was to make us insecure about our government and anything else? Was it to punish us?

Mohamed Atta: We had our belief systems around that, of course. We had lived—not necessarily us, as individuals—but we heard the propaganda because propaganda crosses every border.

Me: What propaganda?

Mohamed Atta: What the U.S. and the countries aligned with it did that was offensive. It was partly that, and it was partly seeing what was happening in our own countries like the coming in and taking.

Me: What do you mean?

Mohamed Atta: Countries would come in and not respect our borders and not respect the culture.

Me: Okay.

Mohamed Atta: But this goes back a long time. In the Middle East itself, there were instances where countries even before the United States would come in and create instability. Of course you can’t blame them completely because we created instability for ourselves, too, throughout history with in fighting among Muslims.

Robert: He just kind of stopped there.

Stay tuned to Part Two tomorrow! I plan on posting our interview with Omar Mateen Saturday. It was a fascinating one.
