About 10 years back, I read a book - Crossing The Rubicon - by a guy called Michael C Ruppert ...and in the book, he opined that the failure in some quarters to adequately respond to the occurring events of 9/11 suggested that a "stand down" order had been issued. I couldn't possibly comment.
His work as an investigative journalist seemed to cause him much pain and sorrow.

Those who met me
They won't forget me
But you’ve got to let me go
Understand
I've done all I can
I'm winding up the show
Stand down...
Don't be sorry
There’s a bigger story
And now we know their game
I don't feel danger
Got one in the chamber
They can't even say my name
Stand down, it's true
Stand down, I'm gonna stand down too
Leave it all behind me
Let the sheriff find me
And don't touch a single thing
There'll be some crying
And rumours flying
And then the birds can sing
Mike took his own life on 13th April 2014. There's a moving tribute from the wonderful Abby Martin here.
