“This disturbing film by Penny Little “911: Dust and Deceit at the WTC” exposes the environmental disaster of 9/11 through interviews with scientists, waste management specialists, government workers, volunteers, the heros and victims of the dust which permeated the air after 911.

BACKGROUND
“EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman announced to New Yorkers, shortly after the 911 attacks on the World Trade Towers that ‘. . . I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington DC that their air is safe to breathe’ and that we ‘ . . . need not be concerned about environmental issues as [we] return to [our] homes and workplaces’ At that time, she didn’t have the information to support those assurances or make recommendations. The White House itself, through its Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), actually manipulated the statements being released by the EPA so as to soft-pedal health concerns.
“The impact of the environmental disaster after 911 will continue for years. The health of those who were exposed to the toxic dust and told that the “Air was safe to breathe” and the continuing coverup of the problems has not been adequately reported in the mainstream media. Those who were most affected are often the least able to get the help they need.
“In 911: Dust and Deceit at the WTC, Filmmaker Penny Little interviews numerous experts, victims, and ground zero workers.
NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR:“This film would not have been possible without the startup funds from Jimmy Walter. Jimmy Walter is a controversial figure, who has spent more than 7 million dollars funding the expose of fraud within the government’s story on 911. My movie – 911: Dust and Deceit at the WTC has nothing to do with any speculative theories about 911, including the one promulgated by the government. My movie focuses solely on the problems caused by the misrepresentations of various individuals within agencies in New York and Washington, who covered up the fact that the dust was toxic. There was little consideration for the collateral damage caused by the ongoing chemical attack on the people of New York in the form of this toxic dust. The citizens of New York were lied to and now thousands are sick, and a number have died as a direct result. . . . . The impact of the environmental disaster after 911 will continue for years. The health of those who were exposed to the toxic dust and told that the “Air was safe to breathe” and the continuing coverup of the problems has not been adequately reported in the mainstream media. Those who were most affected are often the least able to get the help they need. But In 911: Dust and Deceit at the WTC proves what Carlyle wrote , “no lie can live forever.”
“In 911: Dust and Deceit at the WTC, Filmmaker Penny Little interviews numerous experts, victims, and ground zero workers.”
This film shows in thousands of picture frames (and each frame shows a thousand words) the wanton disregard for human life that I could only attempt to write about in my 2002 essay: 9/11 World Trade Center Dust Cloud: How Many Will Die! This film also shows that when it comes to our health and safety, the government treats us like we were mushrooms; They keep us in the dark and feed us ‘Bullshit’!
Just how toxic and overwhelming the clouds were are shown in the movie. Below are some photos, found on the web, that show the toxic cloud of highly alkaline (pH: 9.0–11.0) dust containing pulverized (alkaline) cement, pulverized metals, glass fibers, asbestos, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls, lead, mercury (PCBs), polychlorinated furans and dioxins, and other chemicals. It was a carcinogenic and toxic soups with all toxins acting in synergy with each other.
According to the video, the heavy dust accumulation in a building close to the WTC was 112,000times the legally permissible air levels for asbestos alone!
(The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers asbestos to be a potential occupational carcinogen and recommends that exposures be reduced to the lowest feasible concentration*. For asbestos fibers >5 micrometers in length, NIOSHrecommends a REL of 100,000 fibers per cubic meter of air (100,000 fibers/m3), which is equal to 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 fiber/cm3), as determined by a 400-liter air sample collected over 100 minutes in accordance with NIOSH Analytical Method #7400. Airborne asbestos fibers are defined as those particles having (1) an aspect ratio of 3 to 1 or greater and (2) the mineralogical characteristics (that is, the crystal structure and elemental composition) of the asbestos minerals and their nonasbestiform analogs. The asbestos minerals are defined as chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite (cummingtonite-grunerite), anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite. In addition, airborne cleavage fragments from the nonasbestiform habits of the serpentine minerals antigorite and lizardite, and the amphibole minerals contained in the series cummingtonite-grunerite, tremolite-ferroactinolite, and glaucophane-riebeckite should also be counted as fibers provided they meet the criteria for a fiber when viewed microscopically.www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/nengapdx.html#a. * The term ‘lowest feasible concentration’ means what iseconomically feasible to maintain profits, which translates to one additional cancer per workers exposed.)

To demonstrate how ‘safe’ the air was, a day after the after the collapse and subsequent dustification of the World Trade Center towers, September 12, 2001, New York Gov. George Pataki, on the left, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, center, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., toured the site of the World Trade Center disaster, with an absolute minimum of safety protection.
And two days later, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Defense Secretary Donald H.Rumsfeld were photographed by the New York Times at ground zero with no safety gear.
The overwhelming majority of “ground zero ‘first responder’” workers, having faith in the government, went to work with out any training in how to work with hazardous materials and thinking that the work environment was safe.

It is also clearly pointed out in 911 Dust and Deceit that the workers’ employers, who no long had liability for safety, instructed the workers at ground zero not to wear masks, in order to make the “public feel at ease”! To add salt to the wounds, this documentary film/video shows that the government and the regulatory agencies at first stated that everything was safe and then falsified and doctored the evidence of the various hazards to support their previous lies! The justification for all of the this was made clear in the Aug. 21 EPA Inspector General’s report stated: “The EPA Inspector General’s report shows that in the minds of high government officials the need to re-open Wall Street took precedence over the need to give the public accurate information about the hazards in Lower Manhattan,” said William F. Henning Jr., chair of the NYCOSH Board of Directors.
The proof that the government was well aware of all the hazards and regulations necessary for the clean up of a dustification of a building was demonstrated by the EPA approach to the clean up of the much smaller 911 attack upon the Pentagon. From, Ground Zero Toxic Death Fumes Covered Up From Day One:
“By noon on September 11, an EPA Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent was on the scene at the Pentagon, providing emergency response investigative support and facilitating site safety for EPA Region 3 Emergency Response personnel and the FBI. On September 12, the FBI declared the Pentagon a crime scene, and EPA Special Agents were on the scene assisting in decontamination, gathering crime scene evidence (photography, videotaping, evidence gathering, etc.) and supplying other investigative and technical support to the FBI. In addition, EPA Special Agents assisted with body recovery and site safety until September 27, when the agents departed after the FBI returned the site to the control of the Department of Defense and FEMA.
“This explains why workers were suited and booted and being decontaminated at the Pentagon (above), however, if this is standard procedure, why is it that the rescue scene at ground zero in New York seems to have been much more casual? Workers there did not have protective suits, boots or full face masks, neither did they undergo decontamination, despite the fact that there was more destruction and more possibility of harmful dust, smoke and chemical inhalation.” Ground Zero Toxic Death Fumes Covered Up From Day One.
If one goes to the UCLA safety site, the HAZWOPER Standard (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) requires health and safety training for persons managing hazardous waste or who are involved in an emergency response release such as leaks, spills, accidents or fires.
They recommend full face masks for the clean up of hazards. For example below are photos of the proper personal safety equipment that should have been supplied to the works at ground zero.
Pax Americana and The Failure of ‘Lesser Evilism’
11/2008 Just before the 2000 Presidential Election, in September 2000, George Bush’s think tank, The Project for the New American Century, put into writing a document titled Rebuilding America’s Defenses, Forces and Resources For a New Century.
In that document they called for war upon Iraq, a US military presence in the middle east, and the construction of military bases throughout Asia and the world to enforce, what they termed, as a ‘strategic goal’, the preservation Pax Americana — the ‘new world order’ that was proclaimed after the first Gulf War. (There has been no objection or opposition, from the Democratic Party, to this ‘strategic goal’ for this century, even though the document stated, two years prior to 9/11):
“A transformation strategy that solely pursued capabilities for projecting force from the United States, for example, and sacrificed forward basing and presence, would be at odds with larger American policy goals and would trouble American allies. Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.”
When the September 11, 2002 implosion of the World Trade Center occurred, both the Democrats and the Republicans were united in taking the advantage of the ‘catastrophic and catalyzing event’ to begin to implement the first stage of Pax American — the war upon Iraq and to make the middle east a zone of ‘democratic peace’ — a safe area for exploitation and control, by the United States, or as the document stated:
“Today its task is to secure and expand the “zones of democratic peace;” to deter the rise of a new great power competitor; defend key regions of Europe, East Asia and the Middle East; and to preserve American preeminence through the coming transformation of war made possible by new technologies.”
“In its founding principles, the Project for the New American Century proposed preventive strikes:
” Of course, the United States must be prudent in how it exercises its power. But we cannot safely avoid the responsibilities of global leadership of the costs that are associated with its exercise. America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of the past century should have taught us, to embrace the cause of American leadership.”
One thing about written documents — there is no deniability, but not once in the past eight years has the major media reported these facts, nor has the Democratic Party opposed the program proposed in REBUILDING AMERICA’S DEFENSES Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century, with the strategic goal of preserving Pax Americana — ‘America Überalles’.
In fact the Democratic Party, at every step, has voted for the implementation of this program. …
