Many 9/11 conspiracy theories surfaced shortly after the September 11th attacks, some bringing compelling arguments, and some not holding up at all. Nine years after the attack we may never know the entire story, but will always remember the people who lost their lives on this tragic day and subsequently the thousands of lives of those in far-flung Middle East. And not knowing the true story has kept the conspiracy theories alive to this day.
The following article however takes a different tack. It posits the view that 9/11 did not trigger the war on terror; rather, the war was planned well before the tragic event. The wars and unrest in the Middle East immediately after the event (Afghan and Iraq wars) and now (the Arab Spring) are products of the pre-9/11 plans.
EVERYTHING HAPPENING NOW WAS PLANNED BEFORE 9/11
By Washington's Blog.
We’ve been told that “9/11 changed everything” and that we’re living in “a post-911 world.”
We’ve been told that what our government is doing now has been rendered necessary by the urgent post-9/11 threat from terrorists.

In reality, however, virtually everything happening now was planned before 9/11. Please see for yourself:
1. The government’s spying on Americans began before 9/11 (confirmed here and here. And see this).
2. The Patriot Act was planned before 9/11 (and see this). Indeed, former Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke [who served the ex-Presidents Clinton and Bush administrations] told Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig:

After 9/11 the government drew up the Patriot Act within 20 days and it was passed.
The Patriot Act is huge and I remember someone asking a Justice Department official how did they write such a large statute so quickly, and of course the answer was that it has been sitting in the drawers of the Justice Department for the last 20 years waiting for the event where they would pull it out.

3. Government plans, exercises or drills to detain American citizens who opposed war were also drawn up before 9/11, as was a bill allowing the permanent detention by the Attorney General of aliens convicted of no crimes, with no judicial review.
4. The Afghanistan war was planned before 9/11 (see this and this).

5. The decision to launch the Iraq war was made before 9/11. Indeed, former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted “crap” in its justifications for invading Iraq. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill – who sat on the National Security Council – also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. Top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change even before Bush took office. And in 2000, [Dick] Cheney [ex-Vice President under Bush] said a Bush administration might “have to take military action to forcibly remove Saddam from power.” And see this.
6. Cheney made Iraqi’s oil fields a national security priority before 9/11. And the Sunday Herald reported: “Five months before September 11, the US advocated using force against Iraq…to secure control of its oil.” (Remember that Alan Greenspan, John McCain, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, a high-level National Security Council officer and others all say that the Iraq war was really about oil.)

7. The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11, and the Christian Science Monitor notes that the U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability.
8. Wars throughout the Middle East and North Africa to effect regime were planned before 9/11.
9. Cheney dreamed of giving the White House the powers of a monarchy long before 9/11.
10. Cheney and Rumsfeld actively generated fake intelligence which exaggerated the threat from an enemy in order to justify huge amounts of military spending long before 9/11. And see this.
11. The government knew that terrorists could use planes as weapons — and had even run its own drills of planes being used as weapons against the World Trade Center and other U.S. high-profile buildings, using REAL airplanes — all before 9/11.
12. America played dirty games to justify wars before 9/11.
