- 0:35None. I was in nursing school when 911
- 0:41happened. And I mean it.
- 0:45It was just such an overwhelming, you know,
- 0:49catastrophic thing in our lives. I, I did not end up going back.
- 0:54I, I actually regret it now, but I didn't have the wherewithal to
- 1:00carry on. I was terrified for my son
- 1:04anthrax, everything was happening.
- 1:07I actually, I mean, terrorism does crazy things to your head.
- 1:11I actually thought there was a chance that someone would
- 1:15piggyback and do something with the kids of the widows.
- 1:18And I mean, this is where your head goes in a in a crisis
- 1:22situation like that. And, you know, there was even
- 1:27issues with friends of my husband had wanted to take my
- 1:33son to various sporting events and the like.
- 1:36And I was terrified. I eventually had to say like,
- 1:40it's enough. I, I can't, I can't imagine him
- 1:44being in a stadium and, and something happening.
- 1:49It just seemed like everything was a target, if you can imagine
- 1:52that. And I'm, I, I still wonder
- 1:56today, you know, given what happened on 9/11 and all the
- 2:01controversy surrounding it, the more I've delved into it, that
- 2:08it's not out of the realm of possibility still that another
- 2:11event, you know, like 911 could happen.
- 2:17You know, it, it turned the tide geopolitically in this country
- 2:22in such a way. We went to two wars.
- 2:26I, you know, a lot of people profited off of 911 and to my
- 2:33way of thinking is I, I don't know what the agenda is for
- 2:39whomever is running the show. And we're all it's, it's, it's,
- 2:48we're all blind. We could all be blindsided and,
- 2:50and find ourselves in another event.
- 2:53And to me that's frightening. And a lot of it has to do with
- 2:56the lack of transparency. And we found that over and over
- 3:01again. When we went into DC, we found,
- 3:04you know, the four widows that I was amongst, we found each other
- 3:09through. Well, I had a lawyer in town and
- 3:13he was actually the president of New Jersey Trial Lawyers
- 3:16Association. He kept leaving messages on my
- 3:19phone. He and my husband head coach
- 3:22basketball for the kids together.
- 3:24So I knew him. I didn't know him, you know,
- 3:28very well personally. And he kept leaving messages.
- 3:32And I'm like, yeah, you know, I'll call him, you know,
- 3:36eventually. I'm.
- 3:37I'm still trying to hope and pray that my son, my husband
- 3:41crawls out of the building somehow.
- 3:44I mean, that's another, you know, Ave. you start negotiating
- 3:48with God and, and anybody who might have the power to manifest
- 3:53that for you. But so eventually I called him
- 3:57and he as a the president of New Jersey trial lawyers was very
- 4:02keyed into what was happening in DC.
- 4:05And when I eventually spoke to him, he said, Patty, there's
- 4:10legislation going on in DC. The airlines came down, 100
- 4:16lobbyists came down on 9/12 to DC to indemnify the airlines and
- 4:25everyone else involved such that, you know, basically they
- 4:31were afraid that we were going to take them down and the, the
- 4:34victims were going to end up taking down the airlines in some
- 4:38capacity via a lawsuit or what have you.
- 4:42And this was my first foray into anything like that.
- 4:48I had no idea. I, when the gentleman kept on
- 4:51calling my house, I was like, I don't, I don't want to talk to a
- 4:55lawyer. What do I need a lawyer for?
- 4:58You know, And lo and behold, you find out life just spins out of
- 5:05control when there's a lot at stake in DC and you're one of
- 5:13the pawns caught in their little web.
- 5:17And that's, that's exactly how I felt.
- 5:20And so via the gentleman that was a lawyer, he, you know, he,
- 5:28he knew some other of the victims.
- 5:30We had five in my town, over 140 in my county alone.
- 5:36It was 911. Everywhere you turned, you
- 5:39couldn't escape what happened. Everybody knew somebody and and
- 5:44even just, you know, the immediate deaths in our area,
- 5:49everybody had a fireman or you know, a policeman, some in some
- 5:55way capacity. Everybody was affected by it.
- 5:58It was total mayhem. So the gentleman connected me
- 6:03with one of the widows who was not in my immediate town but
- 6:08nearby. And that was Kristen
- 6:10Breitweiser. And, you know, he had had, he
- 6:16said, have that conversation that something's going on in DC
- 6:19She was a lawyer, so he thought, you know, she might be able to
- 6:23help some of the victims understand it better.
- 6:28So when I contacted her, I, I told her what this gentleman had
- 6:32said to me. And, you know, we were terrified
- 6:38what legislation's going on that, that were involved in
- 6:41without even our knowledge. They, you know, they were, they
- 6:46basically retrofitted the airlines for indemnate, you
- 6:51know, so that we could not sue them.
- 6:53And so, you know, this is horrifying.
- 6:58In the meantime, I've got people who knew my husband coming to my
- 7:03house with their sister in laws. Like I said, it was a, it was a
- 7:07small bedroom community of kind of like Wall Street within 45
- 7:12minutes of Wall Street. And so they're bringing in their
- 7:15sister in laws, their sisters. You know, most of the victims
- 7:21were young, up and coming men in Wall Street and they had young
- 7:28families. I was 40.
- 7:30I was one of the, believe it or not, one of the older ones at
- 7:33the time, my son was 11. A lot of them were just starting
- 7:37with, you know, babies and the like and that they came in
- 7:42devastated. And so we started, you know, I
- 7:50started having people come at my house on Sunday so I could kind
- 7:53of manage who was coming in. You know, if you're going to
- 7:57bring somebody, bring them on Sunday and we'll have a
- 8:00conversation. In one way, it was just for
- 8:02victims to connect with each other.
- 8:06You know, who else do you have this conversation with about the
- 8:10kids and what they're going through?
- 8:14Just, you know, everybody worked for a different company.
- 8:18Who's still continuing benefits, all of that.
- 8:22I mean, my husband worked for Cantor Fitzgerald.
- 8:25He was on the 105th floor that day and.
- 8:28His, his, his name was John, is that right?
- 8:30And he was. He was 38.
- 8:32Yes, 38 Yep, Yep, I have I have a picture here.
- 8:37I mean, this is, I don't even know what do I have?
- 8:42Oh, I have this one picture. It ended up it was just this
- 8:46crazy story. Last picture I have of my
- 8:49husband. We were we went to a tennis
- 8:51match at the US Open the weekend before.
- 8:54And this gentleman, I I'd gone up to use the ladies room and
- 8:59I'm up there by myself and this guy keeps chasing ma'am, ma'am,
- 9:04lady miss. And I'm like, you know, so he
- 9:07stops me and he says, is this you in the photo?
- 9:11And I'm like photo and, and he says here and he just hands me
- 9:17photos. I, you know, use a lady's room.
- 9:21I go back down to the stadium and we went with friends and I'm
- 9:28like, here, look at this picture.
- 9:31We're all landed, you know, and they're like, oh, how, how much
- 9:35did they did they charge you for this?
- 9:38You know, how did this happen? And and I'm like, he didn't
- 9:43charge me anything. He just handed to me and they
- 9:44were like, nobody does that, you know, and how did he pick me
- 9:49out? Just running to the ladies room
- 9:52that this was me in the photo. I'm like, in some ways I, I, you
- 9:56know, there's nothing on this photo to indicate the
- 9:58photographer anything that that was just like an Angel moment,
- 10:04you know, my last photo of my husband.
- 10:07Yeah, OK, so, so so John died on on that day he went down with
- 10:12the towers. I can remember I I was visiting
- 10:16my girlfriend and I think we were just watching MTV or
- 10:20something. And her brother came running in
- 10:22saying America's under attack, America's under, under attack.
- 10:25And he quickly switched over to CNN.
- 10:27And at that stage, it was just the first building with the
- 10:31smoke. That was my.
- 10:32Building, yeah. So he was in the first tower?
- 10:36Yes. What were you doing that
- 10:39morning? Can you remember?
- 10:41It was my day off from nursing school.
- 10:44I was actually folding laundry. I mean, you know, you double
- 10:48down on days you have to do all the other things that you need
- 10:51to get done. My son, I had just already taken
- 10:54my son to school and my husband called.
- 10:58He called me from a landline at work.
- 11:01I found out afterwards he had forgotten his cell phone in his
- 11:04car. When someone went to the train
- 11:06station to go get his car for me, his cell phone was in there.
- 11:11You know, we, we still weren't accustomed to having cell phones
- 11:14even at the time, you know, So he called me and he said, you
- 11:20know what's going on? And I'm like, I've got a pair of
- 11:22socks that I'm pairing in my hands.
- 11:25Wait, wait, wait. Hold, Hang on.
- 11:26So he phoned you. He phoned you when it happened.
- 11:28Yeah, yeah. And I mean they had already.
- 11:35He and his Co workers had already tried to see, you know,
- 11:40if there was an exit for them and everything was destroyed.
- 11:44The elevators, the stairwells, they were all blown apart that
- 11:49you could not get through. Believe me, these are a lot of
- 11:54healthy young men. If there was any opportunity for
- 11:58them to get out, they would have gotten out.
- 12:02And the rooftop just for luck now in 93, I don't know if you
- 12:06recall they did 28 rescues I believe from the rooftop that
- 12:11day. They the police are the were the
- 12:15only ones who had helicopters not the fire department.
- 12:19So they, the, a policeman actually rappelled down onto the
- 12:24roof, use an axe and broke through the door, you know, to
- 12:31allow victims to come up to the rooftop where they, they started
- 12:36exiting them, you know, taking them off in helicopters that
- 12:40day. And apparently, given the
- 12:47situation on 9/11, the only ones who were allowed to fly were the
- 12:53military. Although there were still planes
- 12:57in the air, most of the policemen had said there wasn't
- 13:02an opportunity for them to land. It was 2 filled with smoke.
- 13:07And there there was one who said he could have done, he would
- 13:11have done it. He still would have tried, but
- 13:14it didn't happen. So all those above the entry
- 13:19area of whatever happened there, the, you know, there was no
- 13:25chance for any fireman to get to them.
- 13:29And my husband called to say the floor was filling up with a
- 13:33thick black smoke and he didn't think that they were going to
- 13:39make it. And he told you that.
- 13:42Yeah, yeah. And you know, he proceeded to to
- 13:49break down. I was going into shock.
- 13:54I could feel it all over my body.
- 13:57And, you know, I told them because I was trying to comfort
- 14:03him. I didn't know what else to do
- 14:05that, you know, he was such a good man.
- 14:09He had such faith. And I said, if anyone is ready
- 14:14for this time, it's you. You've got this.
- 14:18You're a good man. You know, it's all I could do.
- 14:20And I'd tell him I love him. Our son loves him.
- 14:23He was telling me that he how much he loved us.
- 14:27I mean, it was such a gift when I look back on it, to get that
- 14:31phone call, as painful as it is, and I can still hear his voice,
- 14:36his sob. I mean, how do you know somebody
- 14:41really loves you? Here's someone he's calling me
- 14:44on his deathbed to tell me that. I mean, it was, you know, so
- 14:50many people didn't get calls, didn't get that final moment
- 14:53with their loved 1. And I'm so I'm so grateful that
- 14:58I got to speak to him and I hope I offered him comfort in that
- 15:02time. Sure.
- 15:04Just give me a second. Yeah.
- 15:06How old was your son at the time?
- 15:0711/11/11 They were best buds. I mean his father was his best
- 15:12friend. He coached everything.
- 15:16The kids used to come to my house and ask if my son John
- 15:19could come out and if Mr. Cazza could come out and play because
- 15:24he was like the Pied Piper of the neighborhood.
- 15:27Was your son with you? No, he was at school.
- 15:31At school. OK, So what?
- 15:32I mean so So what happened then? Did you immediately phone the
- 15:35school or? Well, I I kept on trying to,
- 15:39somehow the connection died. I don't even know what happened
- 15:45there. So I kept on trying to call back
- 15:48and see if I could get a hold of him.
- 15:51You know, I was more than willing to stay on the phone
- 15:54through the whole time. It it could have, he could have
- 15:57succumbed. I have no idea.
- 15:59He, he had bought for his desk, the guys that he works with,
- 16:05these hoods that you wear that filter out a lot of smoke and
- 16:10things like that because, you know, people got hurt in 93 and
- 16:17smoke was a big part of it, the inhalation and not being able to
- 16:21breathe back then. So to my way of thinking, as I'm
- 16:26watching all of this unfold, you know, I'm thinking because I'm
- 16:32seeing people jump at this point, I mean, it's just an
- 16:36awful, awful, ungodly thing that was occurring.
- 16:41And I was, I was terrified for him.
- 16:45I mean, was he watching his Co workers die around him?
- 16:51You know, and if we go to the point of what kind of weaponry
- 16:56was used that day, I mean, there's any number of horror
- 17:02situations that I can well imagine that he might have been
- 17:06experiencing. You mean, did he RIP off his
- 17:09hood and just want to succumb to it?
- 17:12You know, I can imagine that they had psyche breakdown from
- 17:17observing what was happening around them to everyone as they,
- 17:22you know, one by one died there. I mean, just horrifying.
- 17:32Did he say on the phone to you what he thought happened?
- 17:35He thought bombs were going off in the building.
- 17:40He did. Well, you know, there was,
- 17:42there's a lot of noise going on. You know, on that day there were
- 17:47diesel tanks in the buildings on different floors, you know,
- 17:54above the basement floors. They had emergency tankers and
- 17:59stuff like that. And, you know, there, there was
- 18:06just so much going on there that day.
- 18:09I can only imagine he just thought a bomb had hit his
- 18:11building. He thought he heard another
- 18:14something going off in the building.
- 18:17But you know, I have no idea exactly what.
- 18:22You know, he, he just didn't see the plane or anything like that.
- 18:27OK, so, So what do you what do you think happened?
- 18:33At this point in time, I mean, my husband was never found.
- 18:37He's one of 1100 people that day that were not found.
- 18:42And then there were, according to the medical examiner's
- 18:46office, 400 more individuals who were only identified via DNA.
- 18:54That's how small whatever it was that they found of these
- 18:59individuals was. I mean, my, my girlfriend, she
- 19:03buried her husband. She had a Shard about an about
- 19:07an inch Shard of a bone. And that's all she ever got from
- 19:13from that day. So if you think about that, it
- 19:20was almost 1500 people who were totally obliterated on that day,
- 19:27including my husband. So what kind of weapon could do
- 19:36that? Do you think they were planes?
- 19:40From what I have seen of the the eight cars information and
- 19:45that's basically information that gets transmitted back to
- 19:52the air traffic control to say whether a plane is still in the
- 19:58air or not. These, those planes, the ones
- 20:03that they listed, eleven, 1759377, none of them actually
- 20:08hit their target. I mean, this is computerized
- 20:12data with feedback from plane, the planes to air traffic
- 20:17control that they were still in the air past the time which they
- 20:25should have, you know, ceased to exist given the crashes and
- 20:31whatnot that we were told happened.
- 20:35I mean, I, I didn't immediately think that way.
- 20:40It took a long time going through the various, you know,
- 20:45groups that came through architects fringe and architects
- 20:49and engineers. There were pilots for truth,
- 20:52scholars for truth, all these groups.
- 20:55And I did get a hold of Doctor Wood's book and I was like, you
- 21:02know what? I have to re reconsider what I
- 21:07saw that day. And and then the information
- 21:11about the planes, you're like, you know, all the phone calls
- 21:16that were supposedly made by cell phones.
- 21:20You can't make a call now on a plane in the air.
- 21:25I've got a friend who was in New York on on the day and I was at
- 21:30his house not too long. I mean, he's a, he's a South
- 21:32African and I was at his house not too long ago and I asked
- 21:35him, can you remember if you saw any aeroplanes?
- 21:41And he said, you know, I don't know anymore.
- 21:44Right. Well, I mean, I believe there's
- 21:46was, I mean, John Lear talks about that a lot of the
- 21:51technology that he was aware of that could have been used and
- 21:56that could have been they put in images, he said they can put in
- 22:01images that offer noise, the right noise.
- 22:05You know, that you would think there was a plane coming,
- 22:09everything that they, they have such sophisticated technologies.
- 22:14And of course, again, going back to what I said about
- 22:16transparency, we know none of these things as citizens here.
- 22:23We find out after the fact when you you looked at something
- 22:26later on, you know, like some of the fires that have occurred and
- 22:31you go, that doesn't make any sense either.
- 22:34And I'm seeing cars that look like the ones that were, as Judy
- 22:39Wood has posited were toasted, which makes no sense.
- 22:45There were cars like in I think it was, I think she should this
- 22:49one thing I saw was Lahaina fire and there were two cars in a
- 22:54just a grassy area. So there wasn't much other
- 22:58combustibles around. And these fire, these cars were
- 23:03basically toasted from the inside out.
- 23:07And the one of the individuals that was filming was just
- 23:13touching the car like the doorway and it was crumbling
- 23:17into dust. So you're going and, you know,
- 23:22and that hits me differently maybe because I'm saying, Oh my
- 23:26God, they're still using it. And maybe domestic, you know,
- 23:31domestically as well. You know, I, you know, I have
- 23:37several family members who are in the military.
- 23:41My, a lot of most of my husband's family came from
- 23:44military background and you know, you want them to be safe
- 23:50when they're over there and whatnot.
- 23:53But this happened right here and you're like this technology, I
- 23:59wouldn't want this used on anyone.
- 24:01It's not fair. It's just so asymmetrical that
- 24:06nobody stands a chance with this kind of weaponry that is
- 24:12possibly being used here still and or elsewhere.
- 24:17It's horrifying. I mean, I'm horrified to have my
- 24:21husband and our name used in all the wars that came about after
- 24:28911. I mean, I, I was on John Kerry's
- 24:33campaign. I to an extent, I did some, a
- 24:37lot of radio interviews and things like that.
- 24:40And you know, you get set up with some, you know, individuals
- 24:45who in protection of what Bush was doing, you know, they're
- 24:54they're out there to to attack you when you're on the radio
- 24:57with them. And so they set me up against
- 25:00like a Gold Star mom who had lost her son.
- 25:04And I said, you know, I am so sorry for your loss.
- 25:08I totally if you if anyone had ever asked me, I would say no,
- 25:12we shouldn't be going to war. It was a crime that occurred on
- 25:179/11 as far as I was concerned. And you don't punish a whole
- 25:21country for what a few people have done.
- 25:26You know, there's that's just not who I am.
- 25:31I mean, and nothing good came out of it.
- 25:33Nothing, nothing good came out of those wars.
- 25:37I mean, except for we have more people who hate us beyond.
- 25:43I mean, it's just horrifying. And I don't I, I'm horrified
- 25:46that our names are attached to this and that people think that
- 25:50they avenged my husband's death somehow.
- 25:55It's, it's just, it's a nightmare.
- 25:58It never ends. It's just a nightmare that never
- 26:00ends. You know, my son moved across
- 26:04the country to get away from this.
- 26:06You know, the East Coast is so intense.
- 26:12Wrote an open letter, is that right?
- 26:14Mm Hmm. Yep.
- 26:15To who? To who and what was it about?
- 26:18Well, there is a gentleman, Matt, I forget Campbell.
- 26:26He lost his brother. He's been on my show a couple
- 26:29times. Yeah, and you know, he's going
- 26:34about with a lawsuit to try to. Try to get the British
- 26:40government to. Reopenable to some degree,
- 26:43right. And so, but part of the issue I
- 26:49had was, you know, they're they're in with the architects
- 26:53and engineer group and I'm like it.
- 26:57The thermite story, if you will, is to my way of thinking is
- 27:05fairly easy to disprove. Thermite explodes, you know,
- 27:10you've seen the, the, the welders, they have to wear those
- 27:13big masks and everything. And basically it looks the the
- 27:17sparking and everything else looks like that.
- 27:20Except for, if you can imagine on 2/5, you know, 110 story
- 27:25buildings it would have taken. I've heard estimates of 29,000
- 27:34cubic tons of thermite to take those buildings down.
- 27:39Now, surely we would have seen these buildings igniting in some
- 27:46crazy fashion that just didn't happen.
- 27:49Plus, if you look at the injuries of the day of, you
- 27:53know, firefighters, responders, they're not.
- 27:56They weren't blinded. They didn't have, you know,
- 28:00extreme burns. Yes, there were burns, but it
- 28:04was a small percentage of the injuries that resulted that day.
- 28:09And I'm like, no, it's just doesn't add up.
- 28:15Could some there might have been in those buildings?
- 28:19I I don't doubt that there was redundancy of some sort.
- 28:24I mean, if you are so intent on making sure there's there's
- 28:30most, the most damage possible being done, you know, you don't
- 28:35want any survivors if you can help it, then you read, you use
- 28:40other things that are going to make it so, you know, if that
- 28:45fails, this works, you know, over and over again again.
- 28:50And if there were, if it was truly an explosive incendiary
- 28:55event, I believe we would have had more survivors at the
- 28:59bottoms of the buildings. Yes.
- 29:01There were like, I think 16 or so total and they didn't report
- 29:09bombs and things like that. They basically got caught up in
- 29:15the floors falling. They were falling with floors
- 29:19apparently and stairwells and they, you know, they had
- 29:24injuries like broken ankles and things like that, but they
- 29:28weren't crushed. They, they came to and saw
- 29:34sunlight because these 550 ton buildings that supposedly
- 29:43collapsed that day just were gone.
- 29:48They they did not have rubble all over them.
- 29:53I mean, that's. Did did you go to?
- 29:56Did you go to Ground Zero? Yes, yes.
- 29:59I mean, it was totally unrecognizable.
- 30:03There was an event in in October with Hillary Clinton.
- 30:10You know, she was a senator at the time.
- 30:12All these individuals, least dignitaries, it was a madhouse
- 30:17of everyone trying to jockey for some kind of position there.
- 30:22And so we didn't even get into the ceremony.
- 30:25This was supposed to be for us and the rescue workers and
- 30:29whatnot. We, we had police barricade and
- 30:32we were not even permitted to get in.
- 30:35So I walked my son down the street, you know, because until
- 30:44then we kind of had, I had kind of said, you know, I don't want
- 30:49you watching television, You know, to to what?
- 30:53Because that's all that was ever on our TV's.
- 30:56It was 24/7. The building's collapsing.
- 30:59And I'm like, this is not what my son needs to have in his mind
- 31:04all the time. So my son had been to those
- 31:07buildings several times. So I walked him down the street
- 31:10and there was a policeman outside the fencing surrounding
- 31:15Ground Zero. And I said, listen, I said we
- 31:17can't get in to the ceremony that there's they're having.
- 31:22Is there any way my son could see what's happened here so that
- 31:26he has an understanding of why his father didn't come home that
- 31:30day? And the policeman opened up the
- 31:35gate that he was guarding, I suppose, and let us go in there.
- 31:41I, I can't even tell. It was unrecognizable.
- 31:46And there wasn't this. There was there was a decent
- 31:50sized pile of rubble, but not what you would have have
- 31:55expected from the height of those buildings coming down.
- 31:59I mean, you walked out. It was dizzying how tall those
- 32:03buildings were. I mean, it was like it was, they
- 32:08were like cities and within cities, I mean, there was so
- 32:10much going on there. There was retails, restaurants,
- 32:14everything in these buildings. They were immense and to find
- 32:20out that there was so little of them left, you know, basically,
- 32:26I believe my, you know, my husband floated away, you know,
- 32:31with. The with the dust.
- 32:33Yeah, although, I mean, there, Giuliani, I mean, yes, there the
- 32:41medical examiner's office was doing the best they could with
- 32:45things. We had to go down to Ground Zero
- 32:48and give DNA all those things that you do to identify a loved
- 32:54one. And there there were times when
- 33:02I called just to follow up and the the medical examiner was
- 33:07like, listen, Julian, Honey's not letting us do much else with
- 33:12what we have. You know, it was bad news.
- 33:17The city didn't want that. So you couldn't have this
- 33:22constant barrage of victims being found bad news all the
- 33:27time. And eventually and, and, and I
- 33:35respectfully say they could have waited longer.
- 33:39There was more an impetus just to remove everything from Ground
- 33:43Zero. So basically they destroyed a
- 33:45crime scene and they scooped up what they had there.
- 33:50You know, they used the grapplers and they scooped up
- 33:53everything. And what was here was put in a
- 33:57landfill, a garbage dump. Now it in a crime scene of 3000
- 34:06Americans. As an American, I was so
- 34:09offended by that. You've put everything, everyone
- 34:14that might have been found in a landfill.
- 34:19It, it was just, it's so shocking, so shocking that this
- 34:25is how that crime was handled. And then as they, they were
- 34:30clearing, they wanted more access to certain areas and they
- 34:37actually put roadways over what was there in addition to yes to,
- 34:45to have heavy duty equipment be able to, to go through.
- 34:52And on top of that, they flooded the area.
- 34:56I don't know if that was to tamp down the, you know, the toxins
- 35:02coming out of there. And also they they brought in
- 35:06truckloads and truckloads of dirt.
- 35:09Now I'm thinking to myself, I mean, there's there are people
- 35:14buried here and you're adding to the pile.
- 35:20You know, it got referred to as the pile you're you're
- 35:27obliterating. Any chance I have of recovering
- 35:32anything of my husband with everything that you're doing
- 35:36down there, it was not regarded with the reverence that you
- 35:46might have expected. It was not regarded as the crime
- 35:49that you might have expected. It was a massive cover up,
- 35:54really was of mega proportions beyond anything that I would
- 35:59ever have imagined. Who was behind it?
- 36:02I'm guessing not. Not that that grey haired Muslim
- 36:05in a cave in the Middle East somewhere with a Nokia 5310.
- 36:11The 93 bombing, even that's a controversy basically, from my
- 36:19understanding is the FBI more or less goaded a few individuals
- 36:28into doing that and providing them with the bombs.
- 36:32I mean, how crazy is this? And somehow instead of fake
- 36:38bombs, they got real bombs. Are you kidding me?
- 36:41Seriously. You know, and that was supposed
- 36:47to, I mean, I think 911 was in the planning for quite some
- 36:51time. And I think that was could have
- 36:54been part and parcel of, oh, look, they hit us once, you
- 36:59know, and then 911 comes, oh, of course, they just came back to
- 37:05finish the job. What, what would be the impetus
- 37:10for that to bring the level of our military to come down on
- 37:19you, your people, your country that you couldn't possibly fight
- 37:24back in any equal terms? There's nobody that has the
- 37:29stuff that our nation has. I mean, you know, we scare
- 37:37people it basically. And you know, and I can't
- 37:42imagine anybody in a foreign nation especially that's worried
- 37:48about their own people willing to bring that on to themselves
- 37:54to to what benefit? I mean to just say, look,
- 38:00there's they're, they bullied US1 time, they bully us again.
- 38:04Do you think that it was an Islamic attack?
- 38:09I believe that there were patsies.
- 38:11I do. I believe, and that's why I
- 38:14believe Saudi Arabia is being normalized right now in our
- 38:19country, normalizing the fact that we have allowed them to
- 38:24invest in golf, all the sporting events, entertainment.
- 38:30They're, they're trying to open their country up to some extent
- 38:34or another to look more approachable, more accessible.
- 38:43But you know, the bottom line, it's still an absolute monarchy.
- 38:48And they'll as, as is evidenced with the gentleman Jamal
- 38:56Khashoggi, he was a Washington Post reporter.
- 39:03They, you know, he got chopped up in, in, in DC somewhere in a
- 39:12consulate office. I mean, they're not opposed to
- 39:16doing anything like that for about their dissenters, you
- 39:21know, but I believe there were patsies, I do believe.
- 39:27And that's why I think Saudi Arabia's, you know, being
- 39:31normalized now because they did their part, you know what I
- 39:35mean? It's.
- 39:37Hard building 7 it still. It still blows my mind how few
- 39:44people know about Building 7. Yeah.
- 39:49And that, you know what? And more people should know
- 39:53about that because it held so many offices of, you know, the
- 39:58CIA. It was the emergent.
- 40:00It was Giuliani's emergency bunker.
- 40:04DoD. Yeah, the SEC was in there.
- 40:08So like all the crimes of Enron and all of that, all the
- 40:12paperwork was in there. Guess what happened?
- 40:15It got destroyed, conveniently enough, right?
- 40:19All these cases and, and, and FBI cases and whatnot, they were
- 40:25all, all that paperwork was gone.
- 40:27You know, apparently nobody did backup work back in the day,
- 40:31which is another, you know, ridiculous notion.
- 40:38But that building went down at 5:20.
- 40:40You had photographers and reporters saying, oh, you know,
- 40:46we heard, we hear reports that the Solomon building has
- 40:49collapsed. That was the BBC.
- 40:51And apparently the reporter just didn't realize the building was
- 40:56still standing behind her. I remember, I remember seeing
- 41:00that. And you go.
- 41:04And I mean morning 7:00 it it fell in seven seconds.
- 41:09Right. The the other two buildings came
- 41:11back down, I think, I don't know, 11-12 seconds.
- 41:14I mean, we're talking the tallest buildings in the world
- 41:20in that amount of time and and people want to say it was a
- 41:23collapse. Well, I'm sorry if this part of
- 41:27the building was attacked, there was still at least, you know, 80
- 41:33if you know, floors below that were still well intact that
- 41:39should that that any collapse, it should have been the top part
- 41:42of the buildings, not the whole of the buildings.
- 41:46And and and they felt like they too had lost all their
- 41:50integrity, everything that was below.
- 41:54I mean, we're talking, you know, the firefighters even talk about
- 41:58it. There was nothing left.
- 42:00Not a toilet, not a computer, not a desk.
- 42:04Wait, wait, wait. Go ahead.
- 42:06They were, they were. They were passports.
- 42:08Oh yes, miraculously, Oh my Lord, you know, and even there
- 42:14were suppose they were engine parts found on planes.
- 42:20I mean, John Lear again, he said.
- 42:24They weren't even the right engines.
- 42:27Yes. They were from they were from a
- 42:28different aircraft. Yeah.
- 42:30And you just go, I mean, I think at this late date now that
- 42:35there's so much information that there's been dismissed, you
- 42:40know, like ridiculous, what have you.
- 42:42But it's 25 years. It's almost like who cares?
- 42:47So, you know, we put in, you know, lousy parts to cover up,
- 42:55but nobody's paying attention anymore.
- 42:58If I'm following you correctly, Patricia, are you saying to this
- 43:03day you still don't actually know what happened?
- 43:07There is after we withdrew from Afghanistan in what was that,
- 43:132021? I think it was fully.
- 43:17That was the last time you heard anybody talking about 911 as far
- 43:21as officially remember, we were like fighting terrorism.
- 43:26Well, terrorism apparently ended when we went into the Ukraine,
- 43:30you know, backing the Ukraine. I mean, it's like just a switch.
- 43:37So no one's talking about it. We've had, you know, a family
- 43:42members, we've had several meetings.
- 43:44You know, every time a new administration comes in or news
- 43:47level of Congress, you have to almost go and re educate them.
- 43:52I mean, most of these people are young.
- 43:55They weren't they were children when it happened.
- 43:57If if in fact, some of them were even alive back in the day, you
- 44:02know, so you're saying, you know, we had this one meeting
- 44:05with the some level of national security people.
- 44:10And, you know, to my way of thinking, I'm like, do any of
- 44:17you think it's reasonable that, you know, I guess I don't know
- 44:23if it was 22 years later, what have you that in this country,
- 44:29this land of the Constitution, all these laws that we have, no
- 44:34one has been fully prosecuted for 9/11.
- 44:39I, I said, tell me. And I, I said pointedly, I said,
- 44:43I want each one of you to say, is this what you would have
- 44:48expected from our country? It's legal system to not be able
- 44:53to prosecute anyone for the crimes of 9/11 successfully.
- 44:59There were plea deals. There's some plea deals out
- 45:01there. I mean, we still have, I don't
- 45:04know how many detainees left in Guantanamo Bay that now they
- 45:09want to stay there. They've kind of built their own
- 45:11little community over there. The detainees, I said, is this
- 45:18reasonable that that that we wouldn't have a prosecution?
- 45:23And they're like, I'm like you, you, you.
- 45:29And they're like, no, I said, well, then please take this up
- 45:36as as part of your legacy that you're going to clarify what
- 45:41happened, you know, and, and give us some answers as to what,
- 45:46what happened down there. You only get answers in a
- 45:49courtroom basically from what I have seen.
- 45:53Do you think that there is a lot of deliberate infiltration and
- 45:57confusion going on in the non official narrative?
- 46:03Sure. I mean, yeah.
- 46:06I mean, I, I and I think the purpose is, you know, to keep us
- 46:10spinning our wheels and and looking for somebody, you know,
- 46:16the right people to come about and do the right things.
- 46:19And it nothing's happened, it's 25 years.
- 46:25I mean, why can't we come up with a definitive idea of what
- 46:31happened even amongst ourselves? You know, it with these truth
- 46:37groups, they, they won't work together.
- 46:39I mean, that's just a ridiculous thing.
- 46:42I mean, you either want the truth or you don't.
- 46:46And if you you need to humble yourself, get rid of your ego
- 46:50because what is this about you to, to carry on a cottage
- 46:54business? Well, then I mean, that's,
- 46:57that's ugly. I want the truth.
- 47:00That's all I want. I don't want anybody else
- 47:04walking in my shoes. I'm 64 years old.
- 47:08This is not about me. I, my ego is well cost, you
- 47:13know, and I wish other people would feel that way.
- 47:15That you have grandchildren. Don't you want to see them grow
- 47:20up in a world where they feel safe, or at least they have the
- 47:25transparency from their government to know exactly what
- 47:29they're capable of? I, I don't want military guys
- 47:35going overseas and and getting hurt unnecessarily.
- 47:40I mean, the whole Iraq thing was a farce.
- 47:43You know, Colin Powell sitting there with a vial supposedly of
- 47:47anthrax and what not telling us, you know, that at any moment
- 47:52they're going to use weapons of mass destruction against our
- 47:56nation. Again, it was a farce.
- 47:58And then then it's so insulting you had Bush.
- 48:01I think it there's some press dinner that that the White House
- 48:06will, I guess, host annually. And he's making a farce out of
- 48:11it. Like, oh, no, you know, he's
- 48:13like the podium. Oh, no, weapons of mass
- 48:15destruction here. I'm like thousands and thousands
- 48:20of people died and you're making a joke of this.
- 48:25This is the. President, he's the, he's the
- 48:27same president who who said is our children learning.
- 48:32Oi, oi. I mean it was, I had this one, I
- 48:42ran into former president of Ireland.
- 48:45It was a woman and she goes, so how are things going?
- 48:49She knew she had been in a congressional office and we were
- 48:54going into one. So we eventually we saw each
- 48:57other in leisure. So how are things going?
- 48:59I go, well, as you might understand, you know, you go to
- 49:04war with the government you have not the one you want, you know
- 49:07what I mean, or deserve necessarily.
- 49:11And that's how it is. You know, I'm not I'm not right.
- 49:16I'm not left. I just want, you know, decent
- 49:24human beings running this country and, you know, not out
- 49:31there, just total domination all the time.
- 49:35I just don't believe in it. I mean, I think, you know, if I
- 49:41look around at other people around me, none of us want this.
- 49:44Doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on.
- 49:47Nobody wants to be in a constant state of apprehension and war
- 49:52and and being the bad guy. You know, you can promote all
- 49:55you want that, you know, we promote democracy.
- 50:00Yeah. At the end of a gun, you know,
- 50:05does that really win friends? I don't think so.
- 50:09It doesn't make the world more peaceful.
- 50:14Did you remarry? No, I have a partner, you know,
- 50:19he's great and you know, we are very happy together.
- 50:26You know I'm done. And you?
- 50:31That's it. Your.
- 50:32So your your son now is in his 30s.
- 50:35He's he is. He's in California.
- 50:37Mm Hmm. Yep, Yep.
- 50:41You know, I've kept him out a lot out from a lot of what I've
- 50:45been doing. I didn't want to, you know, put
- 50:49the responsibility of it all. I don't know if I did him a
- 50:53favor or not. I have no idea.
- 50:56What does he think happened? Oh, he thinks our government
- 51:00lied through it all and the exact machinations.
- 51:06I don't know that he has dialed in on that as much as as I have.
- 51:12I don't. I'm pretty sure not.
- 51:15You know, he's young. He's still trying to figure his
- 51:18life out. It's, you know, and he has not,
- 51:24he has not fared very well with that.
- 51:27Like I said, my husband was his best friend.
- 51:30He feels very alone, very alone in this world because it's an
- 51:36experience that not many people have gone through.
- 51:40And you know, I go to events with, with friends and, and it's
- 51:51like, you know, the trivial nature of conversation and stuff
- 51:57like that. It's, it's really hard to deal
- 52:00in, you know, the problems that people bring up, you know, and,
- 52:06and life goes on and I totally get that, But it's, it's, I feel
- 52:11very isolated and I know my son does too, because you just look
- 52:19at things with a different perspective once you've been
- 52:24through something like this, you know, and I, I've said, I met my
- 52:27sister died in a car accident. Death happens.
- 52:31I get that. I don't, I don't have a, a
- 52:34corner on that market, you know, but this was beyond what most
- 52:43people go through and I don't wish it on my worst enemy.
- 52:48I don't, you know, I don't have any enemies really, but I
- 52:53wouldn't wish it on anyone do. You think we'll ever know the
- 52:57truth? I don't know.
- 53:02I really don't know. I always, you know, we we're the
- 53:07families are in lawsuits with Saudi Arabia.
- 53:10And to my way of thinking, it's like, all right, Saudi Arabia,
- 53:14if you didn't have anything to do with this, you know, maybe
- 53:19you were forced to offer up some patsies.
- 53:22What have you get mad and say it wasn't you or all of then we,
- 53:29however many nations are in this world.
- 53:32We dragged everybody into our our craziness right after 911
- 53:40and push back. I would hope that eventually
- 53:45they'd be like enough already. We're we're not going to partake
- 53:49in in the business of war that you keep fomenting on us.
- 53:55It doesn't bode well for our country, you know, and push
- 54:00back. And I would have hoped we would
- 54:04have gotten more information that way, except for the fact I
- 54:07do believe at some level there's, you know, with COVID,
- 54:13you saw it. It's a global attack kind of on
- 54:17people from every country. You know, who, who in their
- 54:22right mind allowed all of that to happen?
- 54:26You know, So you know, that's, This is why I'm not real
- 54:33hopeful. It just seemed, but, but then I
- 54:39don't know, maybe I, I look at COVID and I go, well, maybe
- 54:42they're, I don't know, were they panicked feeling that they
- 54:45needed to do something like that to gain more, more control that
- 54:52they thought they were losing? I, I don't know.
- 54:54It's really hard to for, you know, my lonely self to figure
- 55:01all that out and there isn't really anyone place for
- 55:08understanding that that somebody is is really filtering out all
- 55:12the garbage and giving you accurate information.
- 55:17You know, it's it's it's piece meal.
- 55:20And yet these world events, you know, stuff that's happening
- 55:27over, you know, in the Middle East affects us here and and
- 55:33people don't real still realize that.
- 55:36But I do think COVID opened up some people's eyes as to the
- 55:42possibility that there is something nefarious going on.
- 55:49And it's more directed at us than any, you know, as as as
- 55:57opposed to say, you want to say it's an enemy of your country.
- 56:01That was done to all of us. I mean.
- 56:07Can you remember the last words that John said to you and vice
- 56:11versa? As I said that, I wasn't going
- 56:16in shock. I felt it go all over my body.
- 56:21But I he just kept sobbing and sobbing.
- 56:25I love you. I love you, you know, It was
- 56:28total despair. And, you know, he was such an
- 56:35alive person, you know? How long were you married?
- 56:4013 years and we were together four years before that, so 17.
- 56:48High school sweethearts. Not exactly.
- 56:51I met him in a disco. A a disco.
- 56:55A disco. You're showing your age, yes.
- 56:58Yes, exactly, exactly. You know, and it was, it was one
- 57:03of those kismet things. I told my girlfriend that I was
- 57:07with I think he's the one and he told his friend that he was with
- 57:11that I was the one. And you know, was it was it a
- 57:18smooth Rd. Not exactly.
- 57:21We went through all the, you know, gyrations as any couple
- 57:24does when you first get together, you know, trying to
- 57:28figure out, you know, is this person really for me and not,
- 57:34you know, I think it's actually, I think if, if the truth comes
- 57:39out, it's going to be from a lot of foreign countries and what
- 57:43have you and people, good people working together.
- 57:51You know, especially from the standpoint 911 didn't happen in
- 57:57your country. You don't have a lot of, you
- 58:00know, as much emotional connection to it all.
- 58:04And you know, I'm so close to it.
- 58:09I'm, I'm, you know, I can give you so many stories of, of what
- 58:14happened to us along the journey in DC and the like.
- 58:20But I get, I do get caught up in the emotion of it all.
- 58:24And I appreciate you from a further, you know, you can step
- 58:31back from it and analyze it, you know, more thoroughly without
- 58:38throwing the emotional component in there that will only maybe
- 58:44distract from getting to the facts of what happened.
- 58:49I I think the truth, if it's going to happen, will come from
- 58:53outside the United States, not necessarily within.
- 58:58There's too many people that have worked to worked with the
- 59:06government, worked in different, in different political parties,
- 59:10different they've, they're with different corporations and
- 59:14there's so many intertwined people with covering up what
- 59:20happened. You know, you can't have this
- 59:22job without saying that you weren't part and parcel of
- 59:28working with bad people. You know what I mean?
- 59:31The corporations are so involved.
- 59:35Are the government so involved? Contracts that come from the
- 59:38government are so involved that we're we're too, too many people
- 59:44are inextricably tied to all of the actors that could have been
- 59:50involved in 911 that I don't think you could separate them
- 59:56and discern a good guy from the bad guy at this point.
- 1:00:01There's so many overlapping dependencies, you know, jobs and
- 1:00:09things like that, that people have taken.
- 1:00:13We have a ton of military people in this country.
- 1:00:16I don't think any one of them wants to think that they were
- 1:00:19duped into a war. And they, you know, they have to
- 1:00:23have a mindset to feel that they're doing, they were doing
- 1:00:27the right thing. And so they stay safe, you know
- 1:00:32what I mean? So I think we're way too close
- 1:00:34to the event here. So that's where my hope is, is
- 1:00:39from people from the outside of the United States will, you
- 1:00:44know, get to the truth. That's why one of the things
- 1:00:46with that Jeff Campbell's family, I was hoping that they
- 1:00:51would look at look at more and more factors from other groups
- 1:01:00like Judy Wood and you know, Mark Conlon and the planes and
- 1:01:04things like that. So that any suit that he that
- 1:01:09the family would bring would have more evidence rather than,
- 1:01:18you know, relying on the story that we were all told.
- 1:01:25So that was my intent is hope that they would look at for the
- 1:01:29whole truth, not just one that furthered their suit along in
- 1:01:35some some fashion. And, and, and I realize it's
- 1:01:40hard because it's like the there's so much resistance out
- 1:01:45there. Patricia, thank you for your
- 1:01:51story and thank you for joining me in the trenches.
- 1:01:55I appreciate it. Thanks very much.
