The Truth In 2002, President George W. Bush appointed Kissinger to chair a so-called “The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave committee to investigate the events of the as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to September 11 attacks. His appointment led move toward an historic period of to widespread criticism, generally taken from cooperation.

[Henry (Heinz) Kissinger] “Today, Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow, they will be grateful. This is especially true, if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond – whether real or promulgated – that threatened our very existence. It is then that all the peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing that every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished with the guarantee of their well-being, granted to them by their world government.” —Henry (Heinz) Kissinger- “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.”“Rebuilding America’s Defenses,” —Report from the Project for the New American Century, 2000 9/11 - Michael Meacher, UK Member of Parliament How can the mainstream media and government completely ignore the forty seven story skyscraper World Trade Center Building 7, half the height of the Twin Towers, that was demolished on 9/11 along with the FBI and CIA offices housing evidence on government corruption such as the ENRON files? How can the government refuse to release any of the videos showing what hit the Pentagon on 9/11 and killed all the personnel researching the 2.3 Trillion Dollars that went missing from the Pentagons’ budget? September 11th was the jump start for, what is now, accelerating agenda by the ruthless elite. It was a staged war pretext, no different than the sinking of the Lusitania, the provoking of Pearl Harbor and the Gulf of Tonkin lie. In fact, if 9/11 wasn’t a planned war pretext, it would be an exception to the rule. It has been used to launch two unprovoked illegal wars, one against Iraq and one against Afghanistan. However, 9/11 was a pretext for another war as well. The war against you. The Patriot Act, Homeland Security, the Military Tribunals Act and other legislations are all completely and entirely designed to destroy your civil liberties and limit your ability to fight back against what is coming. “This is about control over Middle East oil. [The Statement of Principles] indicates that America is aiming for global leadership, both military and economically...” Right after the attacks, Bush’s approval rating went from forty-five percent to ninety-plus percent. The U.S.A. Patriot Act, which effectively eviscerated the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, was passed, radically expanding the scope of the already colossal police state complex. Nobody in congress even read it before it was forced through. The victims of the 9/11 attacks have been disaster for Muslims because 19 Arabs were named as hijackers of the planes, but they’ve been a dream come true for the PNAC ‘think-tank’ whose 2000 Statement of Principles stated a “catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor” would advance their policies, i.e. justify wars and “regime changes”. Unless the events of 9/11 are discussed openly and without apprehension, nothing else is real. When the people who benefited the most from the events of 9/11 were the very people responsible for preventing them, something is wrong. Since these people had ability to prevent, permit or conduct the events themselves, their collective and individual responses to the events must be examined and analyzed to the last detail. Anything less would be cowardice. PNAC PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY We discuss the Iraq war as if the plans to invade Iraq were suddenly thought of on 9/11. We do the same with the Patriot Act. We do the same with the war in Afghanistan. We do the same for the continual assault on our Constitution. We do the same for the unprecedented rise in government secrecy (which actually started prior to 9/11, with Cheney’s secret energy policy meetings). As a matter of fact, the administration is doing just about anything it wants, in secret, using the excuse of 9/11. This unlimited power is a dream “Since when does George W. Bush take time to visit black students and read jolly books like a grandfather to his children? Just look at his face. Look at everything he’s ever said and look more importantly at everything that has since come out to the world. Can you say Photo–Op. Readining truly does make a country great Mr. Bush.” —Kevin Vancio come true for the PNAC cabal. The media constantly repeat the neocon mantra that 9/11 justifies all of this unchecked power. Nothing can be further from the truth. “What has happened here [on 9-11] is not war in its traditional sense. This is clearly a crime against humanity. War crimes are crimes which happen in war time. There is a confusion there. This is a crime against humanity because it is deliberate and intentional killing of large numbers of civilians for political or other purposes. That is not tolerable under the international systems. And it should be prosecuted pursuant to the existing laws...” —Benjamin Ferencz, former Nuremberg Prosecutor, 9/19/01 The self-proclaimed goals of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) clearly establish a more realistic and plausible motive to create a “new Pearl Harbor” than can be attributed to any Islamic extremist. For the neocons in PNAC, 9/11 was a dream come true. Their dormant agenda now had an excuse for being implemented. On the other hand, the motive attributed to terrorists for the events of 9/11 was the laughable “they hate our freedom,” ostensibly stemming from the teachings of Islam. In truth, such acts would have violated the teachings of their religion and exponentially added a heavy burden to the daily life of every Muslim. This is not to say that there were no Al Qaeda types involved in the events of 9/11. It merely raises unanswered questions about what Al Qaeda really is and with whom their members work. And if they were actually involved in the events, what were the real reasons for their actions? Their motives, not those attributed to them, have to become part of the public discourse. “10 [PNAC members] are now in the Bush administration. As well as Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, they include Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage; John Bolton, who is undersecretary of state for disarmament; and Zalmay Khalilzad, the White House liaison to the Iraqi opposition. Other signatories include William Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine, and Richard Perle, chairman of the advisory Defense Science Board.” [ABC News 3/10/2003] The stated aims of PNAC can be followed from their war plans to their hopes of global military superiority. George W. Bush was not a factor when PNAC was writing its openly published policies. But once the 2000 election was secured, PNAC members became and remain the mainstay of the Bush administration, holding virtually every major position relating to foreign policy. However, to this day, PNAC has not been mentioned by any of our corporate news media. Most Americans have never heard of it, and few can name its members in positions of power in their own government. As a matter of fact the chairman of PNAC, William Kristol (Editor of the PNAC publication, the Weekly Standard), is a regular pundit offering analyses of Bush policies on FOX News. Never has Kristol been identified as having any connection to PNAC despite being one of the authors of our current foreign policy. He is regularly presented to the public as an impartial journalist. In fact, not a single government spokesperson has ever been identified as a PNAC member. Talk about media deception! When there is any discussion of Bush policy, from the Iraq War to the Patriot Act, we are told that 9/11 changed everything. This is Vice President Dick Cheny above, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld below nonsense. The most controversial acts of the Bush/PNAC administration were planned and held in abeyance prior to 9/11. Can you imagine the Patriot Act passing without 9/11 having taken place? The failure of virtually every existing standard security procedure on 9/11 is so implausible that without active and wide spread interference there would be no way the events could have unfolded over the time period in question. Every agency with responsibility for our protection on the day of the events failed to follow procedure. Every one. This happening by accident is not only implausible but the mathematical odds are mind-boggling. Patriot Act & WAR The 800 + pages of the Patriot Act were written prior to 9/11. So were the plans to invade both Afghanistan and Iraq. But PNAC needed 9/11 to take place. They wanted 9/11 to take place. They wrote about 9/11 (their new Pearl Harbor) taking place. What makes you think they had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 taking place? The book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, by Zbigniew Brzezinski, published in 1998, basically blueprints everything that is going on today as it relates to the military primacy of the US and it’s domination of the world. This is not new stuff. The Bush/PNAC administration is not responding to 9/11. They are in fact carrying out a pre-planned agenda made possible by 9/11. Lawsuit Filed Against George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney A lawsuit was filed late Friday January 14th in the U.S. District Court in Reno, Nevada against President Bush and Vice President Cheney. The lawsuit alleges that both defendants have acted outside the scope of their job description in waging a war against Iraq. The complaint alleges that both defendants and others working within the White House and Defense Department have covertly implemented a white paper called “Rebuilding America’s Defenses:” as presented by the Project for the New American Century or PNAC in September, 2000 two months before the murky elections of that year. Among the persons signing the paper were Richard Cheney and Jeb Bush. While the paper was published on the internet, implementation of it by the White House has been in secret. The thrust of the white paper calls for the complete domination of the globe by the US with wars against Iraq, Syria, and Iran, domination of outer space and of Cyberspace. It calls for an enlarged military to fight simultaneous wars. Security bases world wide with extensive constabulary forces posted to keep all nations subservient to US military and economic power. It also calls for nuclear rockets to be fired from Spy satellites to suppress any challenge to US global domination. Donald Rumsfeld at a Council On Foreign Relations meeting for World Control “This (9/11) was all planned. This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty of treason and mass murder.” —Stanley Hilton [Pakistan Daily] Day Before 9/11 Rumsfeld Declared War On Pentagon Bureaucracy Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war on Pentagon Bureaucracy the day before 9/11 when he addressed the TWO POINT THREE TRILLION DOLLARS that went missing at the Pentagon: “According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions,” Rumsfeld said he identified the adversary: “the adversary’s closer to home. It’s the Pentagon bureaucracy,” he also added that “In fact, it could be said it’s a matter of life and death.”-CBS News The class action lawsuit filed by retired attorney and great-grandfather, Doug Wallace alleges that the defendants have violated their oaths of office in entering into a private treaty relating to International relations without approval of the Congress and have made a mockery of the Constitution under a false banner of a war on terrorism. The lawsuit seeks an injunction against further implementation of the PNAC plan without a 2/3 vote of the congress and a full disclosure to the American Public. It also names John Does 1-100 as defendants. The suit seeks restitution to the US Treasury from all Defendants of the cost of the war with Iraq and also seeks a ruling that since the deception about the war and execution of it was outside of their job descriptions they should all be individually liable to private persons injured as a result of their illegal conduct. Less than one hour before the 9/11 events, Donald Rumsveld told a Congressional Delegation that a shocking event would occur soon. In regard to the missing $2.3 TRILLION, Former Defense Finance and Accounting Service whistle blower, Jim Minnery, stated “We know it’s gone. But we don’t know what they spent it on,”. Minnery crossed the country trying to uncover the money trail, however, he was reassigned jobs when he appeared too eager uncover the crime: “The director looked at me and said ‘Why do you care about this stuff?’ It took me back, you know? My supervisor asking me why I care about doing a good job,” Immediately after 9/11 Congress approved an additional $40 BILLION allocation to the Pentagon. U.S. Constitution, Article. I., Section 8. Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga Former Italian President: Intel Agencies Know 9/11 An Inside Job December 4, 2007, Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio Francesco Cossiga has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy’s most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies. Clause 12 dictates that Congress may not fund the military for a period longer than two years: “To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years.” Clearly the Founding Fathers recognized that there should be no standing armies in the U.S. otherwise the military is likely to be used with criminal intent by the government as is the case with the illegal and outrageous U.S. invasions of Cambodia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. After the Second World War President Dwight Eisenhower also cautioned that the Military Industrial Complex is likely to get out of control. Three million people died from the Vietnam War, one million so far from the Iraq war. The government is now even planning on again using the U.S. military against U.S. citizens on our own soil see: U.S. Concentration Camps, Military Commissions Act, Army Reg. 210—35, Congress Confirmation These government and banking officials believe in Hegelian principals that promote conflict/war in order to induce change - the same principles that supported Hitler and Stalin. Perhaps it is time war was brought directly into these officials and bankers personal homes and families? Cossiga’s tendency to be outspoken upset the Italian political establishment and he was forced to resign after revealing the existence of, and his part in setting up, Operation Gladio - a rogue intelligence network under NATO auspices that carried out bombings across Europe in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Gladio’s specialty was to carry out what they coined “false flag operations,” terror attacks that were blamed on their domestic and geopolitical opposition. Cossiga’s revelations contributed to an Italian parliamentary investigation of Gladio in 2000, during which evidence was unearthed that the attacks were being overseen by the U.S. intelligence apparatus. In March 2001, Gladio agent Vincenzo V inciguerra stated, in sworn testimony, “You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force ... the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.” 9/11 the day freedom was let go for “security” * 2,973 - Total number of people killed (excluding the 19 hijackers) in the September 11, 2001 attacks * 2,932 - Total number of US servicemen and women killed in Afghanistan and Iraq since September 2001 * 72,000 - Estimated number of civilians killed worldwide since September 11, 2001 as a result of the war on terror * 1,248 - Number of published books relating to the September 11 attacks * $40bn - Airline industry losses since September 2001 * 91 per cent - Terror cases from FBI and others that US Justice Dept declined to prosecute in first eight months of 2006 TNew Yorkers cry and watch in horror below THE FIVE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT 9/11 James Ridgeway. The 9/11 Commission Report is widely declared to be the definitive account of the most devastating attack ever to take place on American soil, but in truth the most vital questions about 9/11 have not been asked: Coming from a widely respected former head of state, Cossiga’s assertion that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job and that this is common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies is highly unlikely to be mentioned by any establishment media outlets, because like the hundreds of other sober ex-government, military, air force professionals, allied to hundreds more professors and intellectuals - he can’t be sidelined as a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies, but would be ashamed to tell big lies.” – Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” (1925) coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft would crash into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn’t terrorism — it was to be a simulated accident. By JOHN J. LUMPKIN, Associated Press Writer 11 attacks in which the participants spoke about something big that was going to happen on that day, ABCNEWS has learned. Reported by ABCNEWS’ Pierre Thomas and Martha Raddatz in Washington, D.C. US Heard ‘Tomorrow Is Zero Hour’ on Eve of Attacks: U.S. intelligence intercepted two messages the day before the Sept. 11 attacks that indicated an event was planned the following day, but the communications were not translated until Sept. 12, government sources said on Wednesday. WASHINGTON (Reuters) NSA didn’t share key pre-Sept. 11 information, sources say: A secretive U.S. eavesdropping agency monitored telephone conversations before Sept. 11 between the suspected commander of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks and the alleged chief hijacker, but did not share the information with other intelligence agencies, U.S. officials said Thursday.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT - U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE - 7TH SEPTEMBER (SAYING BIN LADEN WAS ABOUT TO ATTACK): “We are also concerned about information we received in May 2001 that American citizens may be the target of a terrorist threat from extremist groups with links to Usama Bin Ladin’s Al-Qaida organization.” EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 01-261: Jeb Bush declares martial law 4 days before September 11th Insider trading prior to 9/11 October 9, 2001 Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media, there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the put options on United Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the number three Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence Agency. It is necessary to understand only two key financial terms to understand the the option of selling selected stocks at a future date at a price set when the contract is issued. Thus, for an investment of $10,000 it might be possible to tie up 10,000 shares of United or American Airlines at $100 per share, and the seller of the option is then obligated to buy them if the option is executed. If the stock has fallen to $50 when the contract matures, the holder of the option can purchase the shares for $50 and immediately sell them for $100 regardless of where the market then stands. A call option is the reverse of a put option, which is, in effect, a derivatives bet that the stock price will go up. Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of 4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options Assuming that 4,000 of the options were bought by people with advance knowledge of the imminent attacks, these insiders would have profited by almost $5 million. significance of these trades, selling short and put options. Selling Short is the borrowing of stock, selling it at current market prices, but not being required to actually produce the stock for some time. If the stock falls precipitously after the short contract is entered, the seller can then fulfill the contract by buying the stock after the price has fallen and complete the contract at the pre-crash price. These contracts often have a window of as long as four months. Put Options Put Options, are contracts giving the buyer the option to sell stocks at a later date. Purchased at nominal prices of, for example, $1.00 per share, they are sold in blocks of 100 shares. If exercised, they give the holder On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago exchange, compared to only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that point to justify this imbalance; Again, assuming that 4,000 of these options trades represent insiders, they would represent a gain of about $4 million. The levels of put options purchased above were more than six times higher than normal. TAPES UNDERMINE PENTAGON STORY OF 9/11 ACTIONS PHILIP SHENON, NY TIMES AUGUST 2006 Newly disclosed tapes offer evidence of the widespread confusion within the military as the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were being carried out, further undermining claims by the Pentagon that it moved quickly to try to intercept and shoot down one or more of the hijacked jets. . . The full collection of nearly 30 hours of tapes from the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, were released by the Pentagon last year to Michael Bronner, a producer on the recent film “United 93,” who described them in detail in an article posted this week on the Web site of Vanity Fair . . . The tapes demonstrate that for most of the morning of Sept. 11, the airspace over New York and Washington was essentially undefended, and that jet fighters scrambled to intercept the hijacked planes were involved in a fruitless chase for planes that had already crashed into the World Trade Center. Members of the commission said the tapes demonstrated that the Pentagon’s initial account of its actions on Sept. 11 was wrong and that some military officers might have intentionally provided false statements to the commission. “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” —Franklin D. Roosevelt BUSH REGIME CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ON TOXIC EFFECTS OF 9/11 No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago exchange in the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday. NY DAILY NEWS JUNE 2006 With New Yorkers already fuming about reports that the feds downplayed the danger of Ground Zero dust, the White House gave EPA chief Christie Whitman the power to bury embarrassing documents by classifying them “secret.”. . . Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade Center, saw 2,157 of its October $45 put options bought in the three trading days before Black Tuesday; this compares to an average of 27 contracts per day before September 6. Morgan Stanleys share price fell from $48.90 to $42.50 in the aftermath of the attacks. Assuming that 2,000 of these options contracts were bought based upon knowledge of the approaching attacks, their purchasers could have profited by at least $1.2 million. Although the stated reason for Bush’s directive is to keep “national security information” from falling into enemy hands, advocates for thousands of ailing Ground Zero heroes are convinced there’s a more sinister motive. “I think the rationale behind this was to not let people know what they were potentially exposed to,” said Joel Kupferman of the New York Environmental Law and Justice Project. “They’re using the secrecy thing to cover up their malfeasance and past deceptions.”. . . Whitman, who resigned as EPA chief in May 2003, could not be reached for comment yesterday. In a Newsweek interview that year, she said the White House never told her to lie about the air quality. However, Whitman conceded that she did not object when words of caution were edited out of her public statements. “We didn’t want to scare people,” she said. Merrill Lynch & Co., with headquarters near the Twin Towers, saw 12,215 October $45 put options bought in the four trading days before the attacks; the previous average volume in those shares had been 252 contracts per day [a 1200% increase!]. When trading resumed, Merrills shares fell from $46.88 to $41.50; assuming that 11,000 option contracts were bought by insiders, their profit would have been about $5.5 million. Millions of dollars of profit were made from suspicious stock trades. The governments of America, Europe, and Japan announced plans to investigate in order to determine who the investors were. However, every investigation was terminated. German firm probes final World Trade Center deals: German computer experts are working round the clock to unlock the truth behind an unexplained surge in financial transactions made just before two hijacked planes crashed into New York’s World Trade Center on September 11. Mystery of terror ‘insider dealers’: Share speculators have failed to collect $2.5m (£1.7m) in profits made from the fall in the share price of United Airlines after the 11 September World Trade Centre attacks. Supressed Details of Criminial Insider Trading Leads Directly Into The CIA’s Highest Ranks: Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media, there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Highest Ranks: Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media, there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. TRADING WITH THE ENEMY: An abnormal amount of “put” options – bets that a stock price would suddenly fall – were placed on United Air Lines and American Airlines in the days before the attacks of September 11th. Feds: Ex-Agent Had Key Data: In a criminal case with a specter of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, prosecutors disclosed yesterday that classified information had been found during a search of possessions of a former FBI agent allegedly part of an insider trading conspiracy. Still Silence From 9-11 Stock Speculation Probe: Within a month of 9-11, the SEC, acting in concert with the Department of Justice, distributed a target list of 38 stocks to securities firms around the world looking for information about who might have profited by at least apparent pre-knowledge of the aerial attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Project Able Danger 9/11 Ringleader connected to secret Pentagon operation WASHINGTON — The federal commission that probed the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks was told twice about “Able Danger,” a military intelligence unit that had identified Mohamed Atta and other hijackers a year before the attacks, a congressman close to the investigation said. Ben Fountain, 42, a financial analyst with Fireman’s Fund, was coming out of the Chambers Street Station, headed for his office on the 47th floor of the south tower. “How could they let this happen? They knew this building was a target. Over the past few weeks we’d been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual. I think they had an inkling something was going on.” —[People] North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York. It was Atta’s face, on television and in newspapers across the world, that became the symbol of Islamic terrorism. And it was Atta’s name - not the names of any of the 18 other hijackers allegedly lead by Atta on that day - that was cited by international security researchers. Atta was, as the Kean report stresses, “the tactical commander of the operation in the United States”. According to both the Bush administration and the official 9/11 Commission report, he was working on the orders of Osama Bin Laden who, from remote Afghanistan, controlled the entire operation. It identifies the role of 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta and 3 other hijackers in a secret Pentagon operation. It largely refutes the official US government narrative as presented by the 9/11 Commission. Four years after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US, the revelation of a top secret Pentagon operation adds a new twist to a story about which we still know very little. For the past four years after 9/11, we have been told by the administration of George Bush and by the official 9/11 Commission report of Chairman Thomas Kean and Executive Director Philip Zelikow that Egyptian extremist Mohammed Atta was the key player in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks. Atta, according to the Kean report, was the “tactical leader of the 9/11 plot”. He was the pilot who on that dreadful morning flew the first plane, American Airlines 11, into the Almost exactly four years after 9/11, the facts appeared to have been turned upside down. We now learn that Atta was also connected to a top secret operation of the Pentagon’s Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in the US. According to Army reserve Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Shaffer, a top secret Pentagon project code-named Able Danger had identified Atta and three other 9/11 hijackers as members of an al-Qaida cell more than a year before the attacks. Able Danger was an 18-month highly classified operation tasked, according to Shaffer, with “developing targeting information for al-Qaida on a global scale”, and used datamining techniques to look for “patterns, associations, and linkages”. He said he himself had first encountered the names of the four hijackers in mid-2000. THE MISSING BLACK BOXES FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER COUNTERPUNCH DECEMBER 2005 One of the more puzzling mysteries of 9-11 is what ever happened to the flight recorders of the two planes that hit the World Trade Center towers. Now it appears that they may not be missing at all. Counterpunch has learned that the FBI has them. . . All four of the devices were recovered from the two planes that hit the Pentagon and that crashed in rural Pennsylvania. In the case of American Airlines Flight 77, which hit the Pentagon, the FBI reports that the flight data recorder survived and had recoverable information, but the voice recorder was allegedly too damaged to provide any record. In the case of United Airlines Flight 93, which hit the ground at 500 mph in Pennsylvania, the situation was reversed: the voice recorder survived but the flight data box was allegedly damaged beyond recovery. But the FBI states, and also reported to the 9-11 Commission, that none of the recording devices from the two planes that hit the World Trade Center were ever recovered. There has always been some skepticism about this assertion, particularly as two N.Y. City firefighters, Mike Bellone and Nicholas De Masi, claimed in 2004 that FAA Radar before and after 9/11 attacks August in the offices of Republican Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania, the vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security committees who also supported the exposure of this secret. When the “official” facts are turned upside down, we need to go back to the sources and ask: What do we really know about 9/11? Our most important source, Atta himself, is dead. So for now, there is only Schaffer, a 42-year-old native of Kansas City, who worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in Washington at the time of the 9/11 attacks and had insights into the Pentagon’s top secret operation. According to Schaffer, when he informed the FBI and urged them to arrest Atta, the Pentagon’s lawyers intervened and protected Atta for reasons that remain unclear. Schaffer himself was fully aware of the delicacy of his revelations. As such, he chose to first speak to US lawmaker and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (Republican, Illinois) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (Republican, Michigan). Schaffer said the two had assured him that exposing the secret “was the right thing to do”. “I was given assurances we would not suffer any adverse consequences for bringing this to the attention of the public,” he said. The conversations with Hastert and Hoekstra took place before Schaffer anonymously leaked the information to the media on 8 Washington and New York were left unprotected Given all indications from the four commercial airliner’s timeline sequences on 9-11, there was a stand down of defensive U.S. Air Force response. War games Were Cover For the Operational Execution of 9/11 Until now, no single smoking gun has yet been forwarded to explain why air defenses categorically reversed Standard Operating Procedure and failed to respond to hijacked jetliners. More and more individuals are looking at the facts and highlighting exercise “mock terrorist” drills that took place on the morning of 9/11. 9/11 Flight Controller: “Is This Real World or an Exercise?” On a BBC video report which focuses on the ‘hijacker screening video’, a clip is played from the voice of a 9/11 flight controller, in which he responds to news of a hijacked flight heading towards New York with the words, “is this real world, or an exercise?’ Atlantic City F-16 Fighters Were Eight Minutes Away From 9/11 Hijacked Planes: Why? Why weren’t they alerted? And even if they had been told about the hijackings, what could they have done? The jets weren’t armed to shoot down another plane. Their mission was bombing drills. Bush Jr. and Cheney have expressly asked Senate Majority Leader Daschle to limit any congressional investigation into 9-11 because, as Cheney said, “a review of what happened on September 11 would take resources and personnel away from the effort in the war on terrorism.” 35 USAF Bases Within Range On 911: The 7 Air Stations On Full Alert Covering The Continental United States And 28 More Air Stations That Were In Range Of The 4 Airliners On 911: The following list were the seven Air Stations that were armed and on full alert to protect the continental United States on Tuesday September 11, 2001. Air Defenses Stood Down On 911 AFTER ATC Alerts Given: There is now irrefutable evidence which proves massive complicity on the part of the highest levels of government -- along with numerous accomplices and co-conspirators in the military, intelligence and administrative sectors -- in the September 11 atrocities perpetrated against the American people. “I’ll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office.” — George W.

It appears “One question, “is what happened to the physical wreckage of the plane?” “There was no plane,” Ernie Stull, mayor of Shanksville, told German television in March 2003: “My sister and a good friend of mine were the first ones there,” Stull said. “They were standing on a street corner in Shanksville talking. Their car was nearby, so they were the first here and the fire department came. Everyone was puzzled, because the call had been that a plane had crashed. But there was no plane.” –Ernie Stull, mayor of Shanksville, PA place. Mr Al-Shehri’s case is not the first in which there has been apparent confusion as to the identities of the hijackers who commandeered the four planes on 11 September. More Hijack ‘suspects’ alive and well: Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects, has also been quoted in Arab news reports. Another man with exactly the same name surfaced on the pages of the English-language Arab News. The second Abdulaziz Al Omari is a pilot for Saudi Arabian Airlines, the report says. Meanwhile, Asharq Al Awsat newspaper, a London-based Arabic daily, says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi. Khalid Al-Midhar may also be alive. He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive. FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt. (BBC News sept 23 2001) Edna Cintron – WTC victim. Administrative Assistant, Marsh & McLennan, WTC North Tower Its in the details Explosions Going Off At Ground Zero. Literally hundreds of eyewitness heard and saw numerous explosions at Ground Zero, including an explosion in Tower 1 seconds before the first plane hit. There were reports of explosions at the base of the towers before they fell. WTC Security Shuts Down One Week Prior To 9/11 For the first time in the history of the twin towers, a power down occurs one week before the events of 9/11 occurred. This power down was for computer up grades [no security cameras] and allowed numerous people to walk freely within the buildings and for whatever reason, bombsniffing dogs were removed. Bush’s Brother In Charge Of Security At The WTC Marvin P. Bush, the president’s younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. According to its present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center up to the day the buildings fell down. Stock Profits From Airlines Unidentified insiders made millions from the stocks of American and United Airlines. These “put options” were made just prior to 9/11. Why haven’t these transactions been traced and publicized? Its in the details passed with no interceptions. New Commander For NORAD The North American Air Defense system (NORAD) had a first in its history since its creation. Six months prior, Vice president Dick Cheney took control of NORAD. The ex-Haliburton CEO instigated numerous drills over that period of time including one that took place on 9/11 where most of the fighter jets were relocated to Alaska and Canada. [At this point we should add that Haliburton has made obscene profits from government contracts since 9/11.] Officials Never Imagined Planes Flying Into Buildings Numerous key officials stated to the media that they never could imagine that planes could have been hijacked and flown into landmark buildings. Contrary to their statements, air defense and FEMA drills had been conducted in the past and on 9/11 - exercises for these exact scenarios - in the drills, the landmark buildings were the ones hit. [Peter Jennings fully reported this story.] Many Warnings Of Attack There were many warnings of the attacks from at least 11 other countries. Insiders such as John Ashcroft, top military officers and San Francisco mayor Willie Brown were warned not to fly. With these warnings, the air defense system (NORAD) should have been on full alert - what was going on here? See the next few facts... Air Defense System Fails Completely Whenever contact is lost with an airplane, fighter jets routinely take to the air to investigate. This is standard procedure and all pilots and NORAD personnel have orders to treat every occurrence as a real threat. This commonly occurs about 100 times a year and jets intercept their targets on average in about 10 to 20 minutes. But on 9/11, nearly 2 hours Resisting An Investigation The Bush administration resisted having any kind of investigation for 441 days. Similar investigations, such as those for Pearl Harbor, the JFK assignation and the shuttle disaster all took place in about a week. Furthermore, when the 9/11 Commission heads wanted to interview George Bush and Dick Cheney, they agreed, but did so with these conditions: 1) they were not to be put under oath; 2) there was not to be any recording; and 3) they wanted to do it together (to keep their story straight?). Victims Press For Answers. Known as the Jersey Girls, 4 courageous widows finally force the 9/11 Commission into existence and presented many questions. Under the leadership of the Bush administration, 70% of their questions were ignored and the report failed to address any of the evidence pointing to official complicity. [The film 911: Press for Truth on the VIDEO TESTIMONY page documents their story.] President’s Location Highly Publicized. The Secret Service broke established protocols by allowing President Bush to remain in a well-publicized classroom “photo op” long after it was known that the US was under attack and that he may very well be a target. Did they all know there was nothing to fear? He continued to read to children for 10 minutes after learning of the 2nd plane hitting the WTC. When questioned about this phenomenon, his reply was that he “didn’t want to frighten the children”. Could he have not simply told the children something like, “Hey kids, something very important has come up and I have to get going!” ary Committee’s chief investigator in the Clinton impeachment trial, claims that FBI agents in Chicago and Minnesota contacted him in July 2001 and told him that a terrorist attack is going to occur in lower Manhattan. According to Schippers, the agents had been developing extensive information on the planned attack for many months. However, the FBI soon pulls them off the terrorist investigation and threatens them with prosecution under the National Security Act if they go public with the information. As a result, they contact Schippers hoping he can persuade the government to take action. Schippers tries to pass the information on to high government officials, but his efforts are ignored. Key Officials Hoped For 9/11. In 2000, on their website Project for the New American Century, many of whom would become key officials in the Bush Administration, wrote that their proposed massive military build up would proceed slowly “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a New Pearl Harbor.” No Evidence Of A Boeing 757 In PA. The official story of the Shanksville, PA crash is that the plane disintegrated and was absorbed by the unusual soil located at the site. The planes tail is 25 feet from the surface. There is little to no debris, just a large crater about 40 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep. The entire area is fenced off and very little has been recovered. Shanksville, PA mayor Ernie Stull was one of the first at the scene and he stated that, “There was no plane, just a hole in the ground.” FBI Agents Had Foreknowledge Of Attacks David Schippers, noted conservative Chicago lawyer and the House Judici- Patriot Act was prewritten before 9/11 This 300 plus page document dismantles the historic American Bill of Rights - American FREEDOM! The law was submitted to Congress by the Bush Administration on September 24th, just 13 days after the attack. Two of the Senators who attempted to slow passage of the bill, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, were targeted with letters containing weaponized anthrax delivered to their offices on October 9. Russ Feingold was the only member of the Senate to vote against it. No Evidence Bin Laden is behind 9/11 On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” Here is the FBI link to Bin Laden’s “Wanted” poster. The Absence Of Media Integrity Personal in-depth research is quite revealing. The sources of many of these findings come from media reports. Independent researchers have done something the media fails to do with their own reporting... and that is connect the dots. This isn’t rocket science and the question of who controls the media must be asked. Anchor men/women are told what to disclose and media investigators are told what to investigate... plain and simple. It should be noted that 6 mega corporations control the worlds media and that many of them are tied into the military industrial complex and/or oil. Bush Officials Planned Attacks On Afghanistan And Iraq Before 9/11 The attacks on America in 2001 were exploited as an excuse for a full-scale conquest. An oil pipeline deal was prevented by the Taliban, which was one major black mark against them. The war in Afghanistan officially began in March, six months before the 9/11 incidents. Yet regime change in Afghanistan was portrayed as the US response to those incidents. And... Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill told CBS News’ 60 Minutes that the Bush administration began planning to use U.S. troops to invade Iraq within days after the former Texas governor entered the White House. The oilman no doubt had big plans in advance. The Grand Chessboard Jimmy Carter’s NSA director, Zbigniew Brzezinski, wrote in his 1996 book, The Grand Chessboard of how mobilising troops in key oil strategic regions of Eurasia would be difficult unless an event like a New Pearl Harbour were to take place. On February 1 2007, Brzezinski publicly stated that the neocons could blame a terror attack on Iran and lead us to another precarious position. New Powers Granted to Government since 9/11 The Defense Authorization Act of 2006, passed on Sept. 30, empowers President George W. Bush to impose martial law in the event of a terrorist “incident,” if he or other federal officials perceive a shortfall of “public order,” or even in response to antiwar protests that get unruly as a result of government provocations. In 2003, General Tommy Franks stated that, “If the United States is hit with a weapon of mass destruction that inflicts large casualties, the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government.” - Martial Law! Dictatorial Powers Granted The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007 declares that in the event of a “catastrophic event”, George W. Bush can become what is best described as “a dictator”. “The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government.” This directive, completely unnoticed by the media, and given no scrutiny by Congress, literally gives the White House unprecedented dictatorial power over the government and the country, bypassing the US Congress and obliterating the separation of powers. The directive also placed the Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of domestic “security”. It will permit the Federal Emergency Management Agency to force the detention of American citizens (as well as Canadians under the new security arrangements) in total violation of the constitution. The Reichstag Fire Hitler’s move to suspend the constitution after burning his own Reichstag and pinning it on the communists, allowing him to crackdown on “liberal intellectuals, socialists, communists, and anyone who promoted the notion of rule of law, is frighteningly similar to what has been happening in both Canada and the U.S. following the events of 9/11. New Government Policies Since 9/11 Canada follows along with US government policies that include: The invasion of two countries resulting in the deaths, maiming and injury of well over a million Iraqis, Afghans, Canadians, Americans and many others; the detention of people on mere suspicion; unfettered wiretapping and surveillance of the populace; ballooning budget of our militaries; massive appropriations of funds for the biological and chemical war industry; violation of the Nuremberg Principles and thus of international law; the U.S. Justice Department’s sanctioning of torture; the merging of the Canadian and American militaries; authorization of the entry and operation of American troops on our soil in the event of an emergency which is for the US government alone to determine; and much more. “I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved in 9/11... Fight number 175 and Flight 93, the 757 that allegedly went down in Shanksville and Flight 175 is the aircraft that’s alleged to have hit the South Tower. I don’t believe it’s possible for... a so-called terrorist to train on a 172, then jump in a cockpit of a 757-767 class cockpit, and vertical navigate the aircraft, lateral navigate the aircraft, and fly the airplane at speeds exceeding it’s design limit speed by well over 100 knots, make high-speed high-banked turns,.. pulling probably 5, 6, 7 G’s... I couldn’t do it and I’m absolutely positive they couldn’t do it.” This supposed Terrorist passport was found flown out of the fireball of the world trade center without scave to support the war on terror against Iraq? Seven of the WTC Hijackers found alive: Some of the men the FBI claims hijacked planes on Sept. 11 and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon, and Stony Creek Township, Pennsylvania are still alive. 7 of the 19 believed hijackers named are still alive. Saeed Alghamdi, Mohand Alshehri, Abdul aziz Alomari, Salem Alhazmi “It was proved that five of the names included in the FBI list had nothing to do with what happened.” - Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal told the Arabic Press after meeting with President George W. Bush on Sept. 20th Saudi officials at the embassy were unable to verify the whereabouts of the fifth accused hijacker, Khalid Al-Mihdhar. However, Arab newspapers say Al-Mihdhar is still alive. Saeed Alghamdi, Mohand Alshehri, Abdul aziz Alomari and Salem Alhazmi “are not dead and had nothing to do with the heinous terror attacks in New York and Washington.” The Saudi Arabian embassy told The Orlando Sentinel. –Former Air Force fighter pilot Russ Wittenberg, who flew over 100 combat missions in Vietnam, sat in the cockpit for Pan Am and United for over 30 years, and previously flew two of the actual airplanes that were allegedly hijacked on 9/11 (United Airlines Flight 175 & 93), does not believe the government’s official 9/11 con- Passport of suspected hijacker found in debris (Comment: The steel towers melted and collapsed, vapourizing human bone and flesh with them, yet a paper passport came barreling out of the plane and through that tower unscathed?) spiracy theory On September 16, 2001 from an AP source, the passport of a suspected hijacker was discovered near the ruins of the World Trade Center, authorities said Saturday as exhausted rescue workers clawed through the wreckage, searching unsuccessfully for signs of life. FBI Assistant Director Barry Mawn did not disclose the name on the passport or other details, but the discovery prompted an intensive search for evidence blocks from the towers that were brought down in Tuesday’s terrorist attacks by two hijacked planes. Bombs in the buildings Rudolph Giuliani Got Warning WTC Towers Were Going To Collapse: April 9 2005, Rudolph Giuliani admits to Peter Jennings that he got a warning that the South Tower was about to collapse. “”We were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse.” Experts offer yet another contradictory conclusion: April 6 2005, Now the latest lie is to claim inadequate fireproofing. The firefighter tapes released to the New York Times clearly indicate that right before the towers collapsed the fires were minimal and under control. Above, The History Channel exposes what a controled demolition looks like. Below the diagnally cut beams appear to show this was engineered. The Use Of Explosives In the 9/11 Attack March 18 2005, The evidence that explosives were used in the 9/11 attack is so overhwelming that three full length films could have been made on the subject alone. Above, More World Trade Center Beams diagonally cut. Below, Edna Cintron standing in the impact hole of the plane. Many steel beams were photographed and seen on video after the collapse of World Trade Center 1,2, and 7 with having slanted metal cuts with bubbled melted steel just around the slit itself. It is known that in controlled demolitions that men cut the metal beams on a slant and place explosives at the weakened points to bring down buildings. More Evidence of Demolitions In WTC: February 22 2005, At the very least this again ‘pours cold water’ on the argument that the temperatures were enough to melt steel when this and other videos show people unaffected. Jet fuel from a scientific stand point can not and has never been hot enough to melt steel. Nor has any building on fire or any building hit by airplanes ever collapsed as did World Trade Center 1, 2, and mysteriously number 7 which was not hit with anything. First-hand Accounts of Underground Explosions In The North Tower November 28 2004, Chief Engineer magazine presents eyewitness account of the moments after the first plane crash, and describes evidence of large explosions in the lobby, parking garage and subbasement levels of WTC-1 at the time of the crash. Woman Waving From WTC North Tower Impact Hole January 17 2005, According to the media/ government fable, it was hot enough to soften the steel and cause the building to collapse, however, as is evident from the picture and video, it was not hot enough to singe a hair on the woman, identified as Edna Cintron in the impact hole on video. Construction Worker Gives Another Account Of Underground Blasts In The WTC: November 28 2004, Construction worker Phillip Morelli describes being thrown to the ground by two explosions while in the fourth subbasement of the North Tower. Close-Up of WTC-7 Collapse Footage Shows Unmistakable Demolition Charges: November 28 2004, Looking at the upper right-hand corner of the building we see a rapid series of small explosions travelling upward just as the building itself begins to fall. Below,: More cut beams which are clear signs of “controlled demolition” for buildings. WTC Construction Manager: Towers Were Designed to Take Numerous Plane Crashes: November 14 2004, Frank A. DeMartini, Manager, WTC Construction and Project Management, discusses the fact that the WTC towers were designed to take multiple hits from airliners and not collapse ““The [Twin Tower] building was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it. That was the largest plane at the time. I believe that the building probably could sustain multiple impacts of jetliners because this structure is like the mosquito netting on your screen door. This intense grid and the jet-plane is just a pencil puncturing that screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen netting.” –Frank A. DeMartini WTC victim. Architect and WTC Construction Manager, North Tower, 88th floor. Another Ignored 9/11 Clue: Bomb Sniffing Dogs Removed From WTC Days Before Attack: June 28 2004, Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday, bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed. 9/11 Firefighter Observes: “The Building Collapsed to Dust” May 14 2004, “You have two hundred and ten story office buildings. You don’t find a desk. You don’t find a chair. You don’t find a telephone, a computer. The biggest piece of a telephone I found was half of the keypad. The building collapsed to dust.” New York Firefighters Discuss Bombs in WTC Towers 03/24/04, In an official news clip you can hear a discussion between New York Firefighters from September 11 where they describe the WTC and the fact that it looked like detonators were planted in the towers. Experts says explosives brought down the towers - then strangely changes his mind days later: Televised images of the attacks on the World Trade Center suggest that explo- sives devices caused the collapse of both towers, a New Mexico Tech explosion expert said Tuesday. 9/11 Survivors and Family Members Question the 9/11 Commission Report Many 9/11 survivors and many 9/11 victim family members have expressed significant criticism of the 9/11 Commission Report. Several even allege government complicity in the terrible acts of 9/11. Statements by more than 300 9/11 survivors, victims and family members that contradict or are critical of the 9/11 Commission Report. Their collective voices give credibility to the claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is tragically flawed. Anthony Saltalamacchia WTC Survivor. Maintenance Supervisor at the World Trade Center, overseeing over 100 American Building Maintenance employees. William Rodriguez WTC survivor. An American Building Maintenance employee for twenty years, responsible for inspection and maintenance at the World Trade Center, who held the master key for the stairs. He was the last person to leave the building on September 11 and has been credited with saving many lives. “When I heard the sound of the explosion, the floor beneath my feet vibrated, the walls started cracking and it everything started shaking,” said Rodriguez, who was huddled together with at least 14 other people in the office. ... [Editor’s note: At this point, Mr. Rodriguez was in sub-basement B1 of the North Tower, approximately 1,100 feet below the airplane’s impact point at floors 93 to 98.] “Seconds after the first massive explosion below in the basement still rattled the floor, I hear another explosion from way above,” said Rodriguez. “Although I was unaware at the time, this was the airplane hitting the tower, it occurred moments after the first explosion.” But before Rodriguez had time to think, coworker Felipe David stormed into the basement office with severe burns on his face and arms, screaming for help and yelling “explosion! explosion! explosion!” David had been in front of a nearby freight elevator on sub-level 1 about 400 feet from the office when fire burst out of the elevator shaft, causing his injuries. “He was burned terribly,” said Rodriguez. “The skin was hanging off his hands and arms. His injuries couldn’t have come from “On the morning of September 11th, I was in my office. I was just getting the work handed out to all the employees. ... [Editor’s note: At this point, Mr. Saltalamacchia was in sub-basement B1 of the North Tower, approximately 1,100 feet below the airplane’s impact point at floors 93 to 98.] the airplane above, but only from a massive explosion below. I don’t care what the government says, what scientists say. I saw a man burned terribly from a fire that was caused from an explosion below. “I know there were explosives placed below the trade center. I helped a man to safety who is living proof, living proof the government story is a lie and a cover-up. ... “I disagree 100%with the government story,” said Rodriguez. “I met with the 9/11 Commission behind closed doors and they essentially discounted everything I said regarding the use of explosives to bring down the north tower.” “And I contacted NIST previously four times without a response. Finally, this week I asked them before they came up with their conclusion that jet fuel brought down the towers, if they ever considered my statements or the statements of any of the other survivors who heard the explosions. They just stared at me with blank faces and didn’t have any answers.” “We heard a massive explosion that was in the World Trade Center about 8:46 a.m. in the morning. The explosion came from -- I believe at first we believed that it came from the Mechanical Room.” [Editor’s note: The Mechanical Room was below them in a lower sub-basement .] “Then we heard a series of other explosions that sounded up on the above levels of the building. We then realized that there was something wrong and there was a major problem. And about, I’d say, 14 to 15 people came running and screaming into our office. ...” “Then right after that the floor started shaking. The tile from above, which was above us, started coming down, falling on us. And we knew that there was something seriously wrong happening.” “A man came into the office. He was a black man, very shaky, like in shock. He had multiple wounds. His arms were bleeding. Skin was peeling off. You could see basically his flesh. It was a very tough thing to see. ... [Editor’s note: Mr. Saltalamacchia is referring to Felipe David.] And as we’re standing there, more explosions were happening. A lot of screaming confusion. ... It was very smoky, very cloudy. It just looked very serious. We knew we had to get out of the building. ... The amount of explosions I’ve heard from 8:46 until the time we got out was so many, at least ten. It was just like multiple explosions to where I felt like there were different grenades. That’s what it sounded like, it was different grenades being set off in the building. It was like -- There was one major explosion, and then there was different explosions throughout that period of time until we got out. Do I believe six years after 9/11? I don’t know the truth. I don’t believe a word that they say. I just don’t believe Everything they say is a cover up. ... No, definitely don’t leave it alone. I think that we should get documents to know the truth of what was really going on that we didn’t know that we should know now.” Marlene Cruz WTC survivor. Carpenter employed at the World Trade Center for 15 years. Peter Jennings interviewed Marlene Cruz the day after 9/11. Ms. Cruz, a WTC carpenter, was injured in the basement of WTC North Tower on 9/11. She was the first casualty from the WTC to arrive at Bellevue Hospital. airplane’s point of impact at floors 93 to 98.] After the first explosion I was laying on the floor about 40 minutes. Peter Jennings: And how well do you know that subterranean part of the World Trade Center? Marlene Cruz: Well, I worked for the building for 15 years. I think I know it from the back of my hand. Really I didn’t expect this bombing to occur after the first one, since I was in the first one, also. (In 1993) But when I heard that explosion that’s the first thing I thought was; here we go again, another bomb. Peter Jennings: Which floors? Marlene Cruz: The B Levels. The basement levels. ... [Editor’s note: At this point, Ms. Cruz was in the basement of the North Tower, approximately 1,100 feet below the Mike Pecoraro and a co-worker were working in the sub-basement of the North Tower when the first airplane hit. “They had been told to stay where they were and “sit tight” until the Assistant Chief got back to them. By this time, however, the room they were working in began to fill with a white smoke. “We smelled kerosene,” Mike recalled, “I was thinking maybe a car fire was upstairs”, referring to the parking garage located below grade in the tower but above the deep space where they were working. [Editor’s note: At this point, Mr. Pecoraro was in the subbasement of the North Tower, approximately 1,100 feet below the airplane’s impact point at floors 93 to 98.] The two decided to ascend the stairs to the C level, to a small machine shop where Vito Deleo and David Williams were supposed to be working. When the two arrived at the C level, they found the machine shop gone. Peter Jennings: So tell me how you’re feeling. How did you get there? What happened to you? Marlene Cruz: I work for the Trade Center. I’m one of the carpenters. And I was gonna go do a job. And I got on the elevator, the freight elevator. And I heard the first explosion. And the elevator blew up. The doors blew up. And it dropped. I was lucky that the elevator got caught between two floors. Mike Pecoraro WTC survivor. Stationary Engineer who performed services in all of the buildings at the World Trade Center. Jean Canavan “I lost my brother-in-law, Sean Canavan, on 9/11. I’d like to know why no one has ever been held accountable in any level of government for the countless failures leading up to and on 9/11. Why did the military lie to the 9/11 Commission?” “There was nothing there but rubble, “ Mike said. “We’re talking about a 50 ton hydraulic press? gone!” The two began yelling for their co-workers, but there was no answer. They saw a perfect line of smoke streaming through the air. “You could stand here,” he said, “and two inches over you couldn’t breathe. We couldn’t see through the smoke so we started screaming.” But there was still no answer. The two made their way to the parking garage, but found that it, too, was gone. “There were no walls, there was rubble on the floor, and you can’t see anything” he said. [Editor’s note: At this point, Mr. Pecoraro was in the basement of the North Tower, approximately 1,100 feet below the airplane’s point of impact at floors 93 to 98.] They decided to ascend two more levels to the building’s lobby. As they ascended to the B Level, one floor above, they were astonished to see a steel and concrete fire door that weighed about 300 pounds, wrinkled up “like a piece of aluminum foil” and lying on the floor. “They got us again,” Mike told his co-worker, referring to the terrorist attack at the center in 1993. Having been through that bombing, Mike recalled seeing similar things happen to the building’s structure. He was convinced a bomb had gone off in the building. Mike walked through the open doorway and found two people lying on the floor. One was a female Carpenter and the other an Elevator Operator. They were both badly burned and injured.

I mean you are talking about an intelligence apparatus that according to official accounts was completely in the dark about the plotting and planning of the 9/11 attacks. ... At a bare minimum, the 9/11 Commission is not being honest with the American people. First, the Commission feigned total ignorance about Able Danger. [Editor’s note: See also Congressman Curt Weldon.] Then, they admitted that they remembered hearing something about it. Next, they acknowledged that they were briefed about the program but found a discrepancy in the dates provided by the Able Danger informant, and therefore decided that the information was irrelevant to their investigation. Convenient excuses. But, wrong. Because, I happen to be one of the 9/11 widows that received personal commitments from each of the 9/11 Commissioners that they would track down every lead, and turn over every rock so as to provide the most thorough and definitive account of the 9/11 attacks to the American people. Last week’s revelations about Able Danger prove that the Commission has not been above-board with their investigation. Nor has their investigation been anywhere near exhaustive. Now, legally speaking, the 9/11 Commissioners were mandated to provide a full accounting of the 9/11 attacks to the American people. If the Able Danger operation and its accompanying information turn out to be Thermate & Molten Steel A highly-respected physicist explains how Thermite may have been used to cut the critical core columns and produce the large amounts of molten iron seen at the World Trade Center, but the controlled media and scientists refuse to look at the evidence. true, then necessarily each Commissioner has broken the law in that they failed to fulfill their legislative mandate in providing a full and just accounting of the 9/11 attacks to the American people. However, if we also come to learn that Atta’s or any of the other hijackers names were mentioned in the Able Danger chart, I think this nation will have bigger problems to deal with than accusing the 9/11 Commission of not following their mandate in providing a full accounting to the American people. As with most things in life, only time will tell.” “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act,” said the British writer George Orwell. Orwell’s words aptly describe the situation of Steven E. Jones, a soft-spoken professor at Brigham Young University (BYU), who has turned his attention to the unanswered questions of 9-11. The unexplained presence of large amounts of molten iron at the WTC puzzled Jones and he contacted this writer to confirm the reports first published in American Free Press in 2002. These reports came directly from two men closely involved in the removal of the rubble: Peter Tully of Tully Construction of Flushing, N.Y., and Mark Loizeaux of Controlled Demolition, Inc. of Phoenix, Md. Tully told AFP that he had seen pools of “literally molten steel” in the rubble. Loizeaux confirmed this: “Yes, hot spots of molten steel in the basements,” he said, “at the bottom of the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven levels.” The molten steel was found “three, four, and five weeks later, when the rubble was being removed,” he said. He confirmed that molten steel was also found at WTC 7, which mysteriously col- lapsed in the late afternoon. Thermite, however, a combination of finely ground aluminum and iron oxide (rust), cuts through steel like a “warm knife through butter,” Jones said, especially when mixed with 2 percent sulfur. The resulting eutectic combination, called Thermate, lowers the melting point of steel. Thermate burns at 2500°C ( 4532°F). Steel melts at at around 1370° C (2500°F). The sulfidation that was discovered by people like Jonathan Barnett on steel from the WTC is further proof that sulphur was added to the thermite to cut the columns more quickly. This discovery, and others like it, apparently scared Mr. Barnett and caused him to leave the United States and take up residence in Australia. American Free Press recently attended a presentation of Jones’ 9-11 research at BYU. Jones began with footage of the unexplained collapse of Larry Silverstein’s 47-story building, WTC 7, at 5:25 p.m. When Jones was interviewed by Tucker Carlson of MSNBC, the producers refused to air this short but crucial video segment. “As of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running,” Leslie Robertson, structural engineer responsible for the design of the WTC, told fellow engineers. These frames show the northeast corner of the South Tower seconds before its precipitous fall. The spout of orange molten metal and rising white smoke has the appearance of a thermite reaction. metal was aluminum, this is easily disproved by the fact that molten aluminum appears silver-grey in daylight. The only possible explanation is that the white-hot metal gushing from the South Tower was molten iron and had been produced by a very large amount of Thermite. Jones notes that the hypothesis that the towers were demolished by explosives “has not been analyzed in any of the reports funded by the U.S. government.” Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 Catastrophe What is high-tech explosive/pyrotechnic material in large quantities doing in the WTC dust? Who made tons of this stuff and why? Why have government investigators refused to look for explosive residues in the WTC aftermath? Footage taken by WABC-TV of the burning South Tower at 9:53 a.m., immediately before the building collapsed, reveals large amounts of white-hot molten metal, presumably iron, pouring from the 81st floor of the east corner. The amount of spilling molten metal suggests that a pool of molten iron was produced in that area of the building. “Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material.” by Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer, Steven E. Jones, Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg Roberts, James R. Gourley and Bradley R.

This feed was cut and went dead before the news anchor could continue. a myriad of questions as to how they knew it was about to come down when the official story says its collapse happened accidentally as a result of fire damage and debris weakening the building’s structure. 9/11 FEMA videographer at Ground Zero goes public As official videographer for the U.S. government, Kurt Sonnenfeld was detailed to Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, where Who Put Thermite In The World Trade Center? Ignoring the evidence of the controlleddemolition hypothesis, the FEMA-sponsored study of 2002 concluded, “The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown.” Furthermore, the official report found that the fire-induced collapse hypothesis “has only a low probability of occurrence.” “That is precisely the point,” Jones says, “further investigation and analyses are indeed needed, including serious consideration of the controlled-demolition hypothesis which is neglected in all of the government reports.” The fact that the 9-11 Commission report does not even mention the collapse of WTC 7 “is a striking omission of data highly relevant to the question of what really happened on 9-11,” he said. Further investigation is what Jones is trying to get other scientists to do. One would think that the mainstream media would be interested in a highly-respected physicist answering questions about 9-11, but that has not been the case. The controlled media and supporters of the official version completely avoid Jones. Live BBC report of the WTC 7 collapse. Only problem was it can still be seen standing BBC Reported Building 7 Had Collapsed 20 Minutes Before It Fell. An astounding video uncovered from the archives shows the BBC reporting on the collapse of WTC Building 7 over twenty minutes before it fell at 5:20pm on the afternoon of 9/11. The incredible footage shows a BBC reporter talking about the collapse of the Salomon Brothers Building while it remains standing in the live shot behind her head. Minutes before the actual collapse of the building is due, the feed to the reporter mysteriously dies. the source claims the report was given at 4:57pm EST, 23 minutes before Building 7 collapsed at 5:20pm. While the exact time of the report cannot be confirmed at present, it is clear from the footage that the reporter is describing the collapse of WTC 7 while it clearly remains standing behind her in the live shot. he spent an entire month filming: “What I saw at certain moments and in certain places ... is very disturbing!” “There were many things, in hindsight, that were disturbing at Ground Zero.

Approaching the entrance to the sub-level areas of Building 6 World Trade 7 “The Secret Service, the Department of Defense, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Office of Emergency Management’s “Crisis Center” occupied huge amounts of space there, spanning several floors of the building. Other federal agencies had offices there as well. After September 11, it was discovered that concealed within Building Seven was the largest clandestine domestic station of the Central Intelligence Agency outside of Washington DC, a base of operations from which to spy on diplomats of the United Nations and to conduct counterterrorism and counterintelligence missions. FEMA . FEMA was mobilized within minutes, whereas it took ten days for it to deploy to New Orleans to respond to Hurricane Katrina, even with abundant advance warning! It was odd to me that all cameras were so fiercely prohibited within the secured perimeter of Ground Zero, that the entire area was declared a crime scene and yet the “evidence” within that crime scene was so rapidly removed and destroyed. And then it was very odd to me when I learned that FEMA and several other federal agencies had already moved into position at their command center at Pier 92 on September 10th, one day before the attacks! We are asked to believe that all four of the “indestructible” black boxes of the two jets that struck the twin towers were never found because they were completely vaporized, yet I have footage of the rubber wheels of the landing gear nearly undamaged, as well as the seats, parts of the fuselage and a jet turbine that were absolutely not vaporized. This being said, I do find it rather odd that such objects could have survived fairly intact the type of destruction that turned most of the Twin Towers into thin dust. And I definitely harbor some doubts about the authenticity of the “jet” turbine, far too small to have come from one of the Boeings!” – Kurt Sonnenfeld There was no underground parking level at Seven World Trade Center. And there was no underground vault. Instead, the federal agencies at Building Seven stored their vehicles, documents and evidence in the building of their associates across the street. Beneath the plaza level of US Customs House (Building 6) was a large underground garage, separated off from the rest of the complex’s underground area and guarded under tight security. This was where the various government services parked their bomb-proofed cars and armored limousines, counterfeit taxi cabs and telephone company trucks used for undercover surveillance and covert operations, specialized vans and other vehicles. Also within that secured parking area was access to the sub-level vault of Building 6. When the North Tower fell, the US Customs House (Building 6) was crushed and totally incinerated. Much of the underground levels beneath it were also destroyed. But there were voids. And it was into one of those voids, recently uncovered, that I descended with a special Task Force to investigate. It was there we found the security antechamber to the vault, badly damaged. At the far end of the security office was the wide steel door to the vault, a combination code keypad in the cinderblock wall beside it. But the wall was cracked and partially crumbled, and the door was sprung partially open. So we checked inside with our flashlights. Except for several rows of empty shelves, there was nothing in the vault but dust and debris. It had been emptied. Why was it empty? And when could it have been emptied?” – Kurt Sonnenfeld “I’ve described all of this extensively in my book, and it’s apparent that things of importance were taken out of harm’s way before the attacks. For example, the CIA didn’t seem too concerned about their losses. After the existence of their clandestine office in Building Seven was discovered, an agency spokesman told the newspapers that a special team had been dispatched to scour the rubble in search of secret documents and intelligence reports, though there were millions, if not billions of pages floating in the streets. Nevertheless, the spokesman was confident. “There shouldn’t be too much paper around,” he said.” – Kurt Sonnenfeld Dr. Robert M. Bowman, Lt. Col. USAF ret. Major General Albert N.

While in Iraq, Baer tried to persuade the Clinton administration to back a coup to overthrow Saddam Hussein. So when Baer told a radio host that “the evidence points at” 9/11 having had aspects of being an inside job, the noisy negativists and the trolls were notable by their absence. Former Head Of Star Wars Program Says Cheney Main 9/11 Suspect The former head of the Star Wars missile defense program under Presidents Ford and Carter has gone public to say that the official version of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory and his main suspect for the architect of the attack is Vice President Dick Cheney. Dr. Robert M. Bowman, Lt. Col., USAF, ret. flew 101 combat missions in Vietnam. He is the recipient of the Eisenhower Medal, the George F. Kennan Peace Prize, the President’s Medal of Veterans for Peace, the Society of Military Engineers Gold Medal (twice), six Air Medals, and dozens of other awards and honors. His Ph.D. is in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from Caltech. He chaired 8 major international conferences, and is one of the country’s foremost experts on National Security. Bowman worked secretly for the US government on the Star Wars project and was the first to coin the very term in a 1977 secret memo. After Bowman realized that the program was only ever intended to be used as an aggressive and not defensive tool, as part of a plan to initiate a nuclear war with the Soviets, he left the program and campaigned against it. In an interview with The Alex Jones Show aired nationally on the GCN Radio Network, Bowman (pictured below) stated that at the bare minimum if Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were involved in 9/11 then the government stood down and allowed the attacks to happen. He said it is plausible that the entire chain of military command were unaware of what was taking place and were used as tools by the people pulling the Major General Albert “Bert” N.

This zone is constantly being patrolled. In general fast movers would not need to be scrambled. They can be diverted from routine patrol and training flights for the intercept. The odds are that many flights would be on patrol just off shore. It would be most improbable that even one commercial flight could go more than ten minutes without being intercepted. Alarms all over the country would be going off. One interesting piece of information is the recording of controller and pilot conversations.

They put on their flight gear and get ready. 8:40 a.m. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notifies NORAD that American Airlines Flight 11 has been hijacked. Even NORAD officially admitted that the FAA told them about the hijacking of American Airlines Flight 11 at 8:40. 8:42 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 a Boeing 757-222 with a maximum capacity of 200 passengers and 11,489 gallons of fuel, lifts off from Newark International Airport in Newark, New Jersey bound for San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco, California. Take-off was scheduled for 8:01. There are supposed to be 44 victims on board, yet when you add up the official death manifest list that was published on CNN.com, there are only 33 victims. 8:43 a.m. The FAA notifies NORAD that United Airlines Flight 175 has been hijacked. NORAD has officially admitted that the FAA told them about the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 175 at 8:43. 8:44 a.m. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, talking about terrorism at the Pentagon says, “Let me tell you, I’ve been around the block a few times. There will be another event.”He then repeats it for emphasis, there will be another event.” 8:46 a.m. NORAD orders the 102nd Fighter Wing of the Otis Air National Guard Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts to scramble two of their F-15 fighters. This is from the 102nd Fighter Wing’s mission statement of September 11, 2001. “Our aircraft and their crews are on continuous 24-hour, 365-day alert to guard our skies. The 102nd Fighter Wing’s area of responsibility includes over 500,000 square miles, 90 million people, and the major industrial centers of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.” NORAD, by their own account, held on to this most vital information of these two hijacking for at least 6 minutes before ordering Otis to scramble. NORAD may have held on to the vital information of American Airlines Flight 11 for perhaps 8 minutes, maybe 10 minutes, possibly up to 26 minutes and let us not forget that the last transmission of American Airlines Flight 11 with Boston air traffic control occurred at 8:13:31, so maybe NORAD had over 32 minutes before they notified Otis to scramble their two F-15’s. 8:46:26 a.m. American Airlines Flight 11 impacts the north side of the North Tower (1 World Trade Center) of the WTC between the 94th and 98th floors. American Airlines Flight 11 was flying at a speed of 490 miles per hour (MPH). When American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower, “it set up vibrations which were transmitted through the building, through its foundation, and into the ground,” says Lerner-Lam. Those vibrations, as indicated by seismographs at Lamont-Doherty and other locations, were the equivalent of a magnitude 0.9 earthquake, one too small to be felt. People in the floors below the 94th of 1 WTC start to evacuate. Officials in the South Tower (2 WTC) tell people shortly afterwards by megaphone and office announcements that they are safe and to stay in their offices. Some people don’t hear it, others ignore it and evacuate anyway. Between 8:47 and 10:29 a.m. many people trapped by fire and smoke in the upper floors of both World Trade Center towers, jump to their deaths. One person at street level, a NYC Firefighter is hit by such a jumper and also is killed. 8:46 a.m. United Airlines Flight 175 transponder signal stops transmitting IFF beacon signal. 8:47 a.m. NORAD informed of American Airlines Flight 11 striking the World Trade Center. NYC Fire Battalion Chief Joe Pfeiffer from the 7th Battalion puts out an emergency call stat- ing that American Airlines Flight 11 impacting the north side of the North Tower (1 World Trade Center) was no accident. The plane’s impact was clearly a deliberate attack an intentional act of mass death and devastation. As the small video crew (who shot the only video of American Airlines Flight 11 impacting the WTC fireman video) and firemen that had eye-witnessed the first plane hit the WTC were racing to the location, Chief Pfeiffer sounded red alerts over the radio and phone; specifically stating that what they witnessed was a “direct attack” and that the airliner was clearly being directed straight at the WTC and the incident was definitely not any kind of accident. 8:48 a.m. The first news reports appear on TV and radio that a plane may have crashed into the WTC. airline maintenance center in San Francisco that takes inflight calls from flight attendants about broken items. The mechanic says a female flight attendant from United Airlines Flight 175 just called and said, “Oh my God. The crew has been killed; a flight attendant has been stabbed. We’ve been hijacked.” Then the line went dead. 8:50:51 a.m. American Airlines Flight 77 last radio communication, about 285 miles west of the Pentagon. 8:51 a.m. Bush arrives at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida for a photo op with 16 second graders. He is there to promote his administration’s new bill on education. 8:52 a.m. 8:50 a.m. Two F-15 Eagles have scrambled and are airborne from the 102nd Fighter Wing of Otis Air National Guard Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts. An F-15 has a top speed of 1875+ MPH. According to NORAD, Otis is 153 miles eastnortheast of the WTC. Rich Miles, a manager of United Airlines Chicago system operations center, receives a call from a mechanic at an 8:53 a.m.: A flight controller says to other airplanes in the sky about United Airlines Flight 8:49 a.m. United Airlines Flight 175 now deviates from its assigned flight path. 175, “We may have a hijack. We have some problems over here right now.” 8:55 a.m. Barbara Olson, a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77, “allegedly called” her husband, Solicitor General Theodore Olson at the Justice Department. He is watching the WTC news on TV. She tells him, ‘’they had box cutters and knives. They rounded up the passengers at the back of the plane.’’ She asks him, “What should I tell the pilot to do?” She gets cuts off; he calls the Justice Department’s command center to alert them of the hijacking. She calls back and says the plane is turning around. She appears to have been the only person on American Airlines Flight 77 to call someone on the ground. Why is she the only person who “allegedly called” from American Airlines Flight 77?” 8:56 a.m. American Airlines Flight 77 transponder signal stops. American Airlines Flight 77 goes off course and starts making a 180 degree turn over southern Ohio / northeastern Kentucky. 8:57 a.m. The FAA formally notified the military that American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the WTC. Until then, the two F-15s fighters from Otis did not know the plane had crashed -- Yet at 8:47 a.m. NORAD had been notified. Why does it take over 10 minutes to inform the two F-15s of this, especially when United Airlines Flight 175 is headed directly for New York City? 8:59 a.m. American Airlines Flight 77 completes its 180 degree turn over southern Ohio / northeastern Kentucky and starts heading directly back to Washington D.C. and The Pentagon, 330 miles away. 9:00 a.m. United Airlines systems operations transmitted a system wide message, warning its pilots of a potential “cockpit intrusion”. United Airlines Flight 93, flying over Pennsylvania replies “Confirmed”. Last radar reading on United Airlines Flight 175 is observed at an altitude of 18,000 feet, descending, with a ground speed of 480 knots. The FAA starts contacting all airliners to warn them of the hijacking. The Pentagon moves its alert status up one notch from normal to Alpha. It stays on Alpha until after American Airlines Flight 77 hits the Pentagon. Bush later makes the following statement. “And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I used to fly myself, and I said, ‘There’s one terrible pilot.’ And I said, ‘It must have been a horrible accident.’ But I was whisked off from there -- I didn’t have much time to think about it.” Bush could not have possibly seen the first plane (American Airlines Flight 11) hit the WTC, because the only video showing this was not shown on television till later in the day. So how could he have possibly seen and said this? 9:02:54 a.m. United Airlines Flight 175 impacts the south side of the South Tower of the WTC between the 78th and 84th floors at a speed of over 500 MPH. Parts of the plane including an engine leave the building from its north side, to be found on the ground up to six blocks away. When United Airlines Flight 175 “I’m from the 82nd floor. ... We saw a shadow. It looked like a plane. The next thing we know it went ba-boom and the floor started shaking. And then we saw debris fall down. And the next thing we know we had to get out of the building. We were stuck on the stairs for a while. We finally got down to the lobby, and then when we get to the lobby there was this big explosion.” –Unidentified WTC Survivor Statement to reporter 9/11/01 struck the South Tower, “it set up vibrations which were transmitted through the building, through its foundation, and into the ground,” says Lerner-Lam. Those vibrations, as indicated by seismographs at Lamont-Doherty and other locations, were the equivalent of a magnitude 0.7 earthquake. NORAD says that when United Airlines Flight 175 impacts the WTC at 9:02:54, the F-15’s from Otis are still 71 miles away. This means their average flight speed was only 23.9% of their top speed in trying to intercept United Airlines Flight 175. Otis is 153 miles from WTC. F-15’s have a top speed of 1875+ MPH. Minus 71 miles left from 153 miles equals 82 miles covered in the 11 minutes from 8:52 take-off to 9:03. 60 minutes divided by 11 minutes equals 5.45, times this by the 82 miles covered, equals 447.3 MPH. divided by 1875 MPH equals 23.9% of their top speed. How could these two F-15�s possibly be going less than one quarter of their top speed in trying to intercept United Airlines Flight 175? The following passages are from a BBC article published on August 30, 2002. Two of the pilots patrolling northeast America told the programme how they struggled to get to New York as fast as possible after the first plane had hit the World Trade Center. Pilots “Duff” and “Nasty” recalled they were only minutes away when the second plane hit the towers. Pilot Duff said: “For a long time I wondered what would have happened if we had been scrambled in time. “We’ve been over the flight a thousand times in our minds and I don’t know what we could have done to get there any quicker.” Perhaps if they flew a little faster than 23.9% of their top speed is how. 9:03 a.m. Boston air traffic control center halts traffic from its airports to all New York area airspace. 9:05 a.m. Andrew Card walks up to Bush while he is listening to a Goat Story with 16 second graders in Sandra Kay Daniels�s class at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Card whispers in his ear “A second plane has hit the World Trade Center. America is under attack.” Bush (commander-andchief?) keeps listening to this Goat Story with these children for at least 7 minutes, and perhaps as long as 18 minutes. Why didn’t he excuse himself from these children right away, and immediately address this national emergency, is totally unexplainable. There is no way this should have happened. What of course should have happened, was as soon as the secret service found out about United Airlines Flight 175 impacting the WTC (now knowing it was a “terrorist” act), they would have immediatly grabbed Bush and brought him to an undisclosed location. There is no way the secret service leaves Bush in a place (Emma E. Booker Elementary School) where everyone knows he is. Stand Down. hijacking of American Airlines Flight 11. The FAA formally notified the military that United Airlines Flight 175 had been hijacked. 9:08 a.m. FAA orders all aircraft to leave New York area airspace and orders all New York-bound planes nationwide to stay on the ground. 9:10 a.m. - 9:20 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 was hijacked. West Virginia flight control notices a new eastbound plane entering their radar with no radio contact and no transponder identification. They are not sure it is American Airlines Flight 77. Supposedly they wait another 19 minutes before notifying NORAD about it. 66) 9:11 a.m.: The two F-15 Eagles from Otis Air National Guard station in Falmouth; Massachusetts finally make it to NYC and the WTC. So it takes these two F-15�s, which have a top speed of 1875+ MPH, 19 minutes to cover the 153 miles from Otis to the WTC. This means their average flight speed from Otis to the WTC was only 483.2 MPH or just 25.8% of their top speed. 9:06 a.m. 9:12 a.m. Order to halt traffic is expanded to include the entire northeast from Washington to Cleveland. FAA’s air traffic control center outside Washington D.C. notifies all air traffic facilities nationwide of the suspected The FAA formally notified the military that United Airlines Flight 175 had crashed into the WTC. 9:15 a.m. American Airlines orders no new takeoffs in the United States. 9:16 a.m. to 9:20 The FAA notifies NORAD that United Airlines Flight 93 has been hijacked. (Reported as 9:20 a.m. in the Pittsburgh PostGazette) No fighters are scrambled in specific response, now or later. There is the possibility the fighters sent after American Airlines Flight 77 later headed towards United Airlines Flight 93. NORAD’s own timeline inexplicably fails to say when the FAA told them about the hijack, the only flight they fail to provide this data for. 9:17 a.m. The FAA shuts down all New York City area airports. 9:20 a.m. United Airlines orders no new takeoffs in the United States. 9:21 a.m. New York City Port Authority orders all bridges and tunnels in the New York City area closed. 9:23 a.m. Bush talks privately with Cheney, his National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller and Governor George Pataki of New York. Why does Bush wait from 9:05 (when Andrew Card tells him of United Airlines Flight 175 hitting the WTC) till 9:23 to finally call? He still does not give the authority to the fighters to shoot down any hostile airliners. What is he waiting for? A sonic boom occurs, which was picked up by an earthquake monitor in southern Pennsylvania, 60 miles away from Shanksville. This was most likely caused by a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier. 9:24 a.m. The FAA notifies NORAD that American Airlines Flight 77 has been hijacked. The FAA lost contact with American Airlines Flight 77 when the transponder signal stops at 8:55 a.m. -Why does it take 29 minutes for the FAA to tell NORAD that American Airlines Flight 77 has been hijacked? NORAD orders the 1st Fighter Wing from Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia to scramble two, possibly three F-16 fighters. This time NORAD does not sit on this vital information for six minutes before notifying Langley AFB. Langley is 130 miles south of Washington D.C. and the Pentagon. The F-16 has a top speed of 1500 MPH. once but twice? Why wasn�t Langley AFB scrambled at 8:20 or 8:40 or 8:46 or at the very least at 9:02:54? How could NORAD possibly have waited the 21 minutes from the time United Airlines Flight 175 hits the South Tower of the WTC at 9:02:54 before finally scrambling Langley at 9:24? Waiting these 21 extra minutes to finally scramble Langley is the real smoking gun that no one can get around. 9:25 a.m. Air traffic controllers inform the US Secret Service as American Airlines Flight 77 approaches Washington D.C. 9:26 a.m. The FAA halts takeoffs nationwide. All airborne international flights are told to land in Canada. American Airlines Flight 77 Passenger, Barbara K. Olson again calls her husband, Solicitor General Theodore Olson at the Justice Department to tell him about the hijacking and to report that the passengers and pilots were held in the back of the plane. Again she is the only person who makes a call from American Airlines Flight 77. Isn�t it very strange that is she the only person to call, not 9:28 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 -- An open microphone aboard reveals someone in the cockpit saying, “Get out of here!” United Airlines Flight 93, “there are the first audible signs of problems, in background cockpit noise.” Air traffic controllers hear the sound of screaming and scuffling over an open mike. They then hear hijackers speaking in Arabic to each other. Yet this is at least 8 minutes and probably at least 12 minutes after the hijackers had taken over the cockpit and done something to cause the FAA to notify NORAD of United Airlines Flight 93’s hijacking. 9:29 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 - Jeremy Glick, a passenger, calls his wife and describes the hijackers and is informed about the attacks in New York City. 9:30 a.m. Two maybe three F-16 Fighting Falcons code-named Huntress take off from Langley AFB headed at first toward at NYC. A couple of minutes into their mission, according to General Haugen “A person came on the radio and identified themselves as being with the Secret Service” and said, “I want you to protect the White House at all costs.” The F-16�s laid in a new course and vectored to Washington D.C. Why were these fighters headed to NYC when American Airlines Flight 77 has been headed directly for Washington D.C. for the last 31 minutes, and with their communication and transponder turned off for 34 minutes? There are no airliners headed for NYC or anywhere else with their communication and transponders turned off. Also, at 9:25 air traffic controllers have already informed the US Secret Service in Washington D.C. that American Airlines Flight 77 is approaching them very fast. So why are these F-16s first flying toward NYC? Bush, speaking to the nation from Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, says the country has suffered an “apparent terrorist attack” and “a national tragedy.” He would chase down, “those folks who committed this act.” Bush also said, “Terrorism against our nation will not stand.” It was an echo of “This will not stand,” the words his father, George H. W. Bush, had used a few days after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990-in Bush’s opinion, one of his father’s finest moments. States. Also, during this address to the country Bush promised a full investigation into the attack. Well here we are one year later and there is still no investigation. Matter of fact he has done everything in his power so there will not be any investigation into 911. Why? Secret Service agents burst into Cheney’s White House office. They carry him under his arms -- nearly lifting him off the ground -- and take him to the security of the underground bunker in the White House basement. This address to the country should have been said at least 15 to 20 minutes earlier. But of course he had much more important business to attend to, he was listening to the Goat Story with the 16 second graders from 9:05 till at least 9:12 and possibly as long as 9:23. Watch the video of Bush addressing the country from Emma E. Booker Elementary School. The Secretary of State Colin Powell in Lima, Peru abruptly ended his breakfast with the Peruvian president after getting word of the second strike on the trade center and made plans to return to Washington. “Get the plane,” he told an assistant. “Go tell them we’re leaving.” He had a seven-hour flight, with poor phone connections, ahead of him. United Airlines begins landing all of its flights inside the United 9:32 a.m. The New York Stock Exchange closed. 9:33 a.m. According to The New York Times, American Airlines Flight 77 was lost at 8:56 when it turned off its transponder, and stayed lost until now. Washington air traffic control sees a fast moving blip on their radar at this time and sends a warning to Dulles Airport in Washington. Is it conceivable that an airplane could be lost inside United States air space for 37 minutes? One doesn’t need a transponder signal to get a radar signal. If this is true, why did the FAA warn that the plane was headed towards Washington at 9:25? 9:35 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 goes off course near Cleveland, Ohio where it makes a 135 degree turn, and is now headed to the southeast. United Airlines Flight 93 is 375 miles from Newark, New Jersey and 280 miles from where it was now headed, Washington D.C. Also reported about United Airlines Flight 93: ABC News has learned that shortly before the plane changed directions, someone in the cockpit radioed in and asked the FAA for a new flight plan, with a final destination of Washington. This should have been a big red flag, a problem aircraft usually diverts to the nearest field. Did the Pilot do this to signal Air Traffic Control? American Airlines begins landing all of its flights inside the United States. 9:36 a.m. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport instructs a military C130 aircraft that had just departed Andrews Air Force base to try to identify American Airlines Flight 77. The C130 reports it is a 767 and it is moving low and very fast. 9:37 a.m. American Airlines Flight 77 is lost from radar screens and impacts the western side of the Pentagon. The section of the Pentagon hit consists mainly of newly renovated, unoccupied offices. The Pentagon says American Airlines Flight 77 hits them at 9:37. Other published reports have American Airlines Flight 77 striking at 9:40 to 9:43; The New York Times even published 9:45 NORAD says the F-16�s from Langley were still 105 miles and 12 minutes away. This means their average flight speed was only 14.3% of their top speed in trying to intercept United Airlines Flight 175. If these F-16s flew at top speed, they would have been there just after 9:37. 9:38 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 completes its 135 degree turn and is headed directly towards Washington D.C. 9:40 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 transponder signal stops. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta, summoned by the White House to the bunker, was on an open line to the Federal Aviation Administration operations center, monitoring Flight 77 as it hurtled toward Washington, with radar tracks coming every seven seconds. Reports came that the plane was 50 miles out, 30 miles out, 10 miles out-until word reached the bunker that there had been an explosion at the Pentagon. Mineta shouted into the phone to Monte Belger at the FAA: “Monte, bring all the planes down.” It was an unprecedented order -- there were 4,546 airplanes in the air at the time. Belger, the FAA’s acting deputy administrator, amended Mineta’s directive to take into account the authority vested in airline pilots. “We’re bringing them down per pilot discretion,” Belger told the secretary. “Fuck pilot discretion,” Mineta yelled back. “Get those goddamn planes down.” The FAA stops all flight operations at U.S. airports and orders all planes in the air to land at the nearest airport. No civilian aircraft are allowed to lift off. This is the first time all commercial flights in the U.S. have been suspended. Only military and medical flights are allowed to fly. 9:42 a.m. United Airlines Flight 93 passenger Mark Bingham calls his mother. “Mom, this is Mark Bingham,” he said, nervously. “I want to let you know that I love you. I’m calling from the plane. We’ve been taken over. There are three men that say they have a bomb.” 9:45 a.m. Bush’s motorcade leaves the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida headed for Air Force One at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Tom Burnett calls his wife Deena for the third time. She tells him about the crash into the Pentagon. Tom speaks about the bomb he’d mentioned earlier, saying, “I don’t think they have one, I think they’re just telling us that.” 9:45a.m.-9:48a.m. The Capitol and the White House are evacuated. 9:45 a.m - 9:58 a.m. United Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer tries to call his family but gets patched through to a Verizon supervisor. He said that the pilot and copilot were apparently dead, 2 hijackers were in the cockpit, one was guarding first class and another was guarding 27 passengers at the rear of the plane. He said that they have voted to storm the hijackers and the supervisor hears before he hangs up “Are you guys ready? Let’s roll.” 9:47 a.m. Commanders worldwide were ordered to raise their threat alert status four notches to “Delta”, the highest level, to defend United States facilities. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld raised the defense condition signaling of the United States offensive readiness-to DefCon 3, the highest it had been since the Arab-Israeli war in 1973. U.S. officials also sent a message to the Russians, who were planning a military exercise not far from Alaska, urging them to rethink their plans. 9:49 a.m. The F-16s from Langley AFB finally arrive over Washington, D.C. to perform Combat Air Patrol over the city. It takes these F-16�s 19 minutes to reach Washington D.C. from Langley AFB which is about 130 miles to the south. If these F-16s were flying at top speed it should have taken them just over 7 minutes to reach the Pentagon. They should have been there at about the same time the Pentagon is hit by American Airlines Flight 77, at 9:37. By arriving in Washington D.C. at 9:49, that would mean these F-16s average flight speed was only 410.5 MPH. This means their average flight speed was only 27.4% of their top speed in trying to protect our nations capital. Langley AFB is 130 miles from the Pentagon and F-16’s have a top speed of 1500 MPH. 60 minutes divided by 19 minutes = 3.16 x 130 miles = 410.5 MPH divided by 1500 MPH = 27.4%. These F-16s took-off at 9:30, this is 43 minutes after American Airlines 11 impacts the North Tower of the WTC and 27 minutes after United Airlines Flight 175 slams into the South Tower of the WTC. Knowing this, these F-16s fly at only 27.4% of their top speed in trying to intercept American Airlines Flight 77 and protect our nations capital, Washington D.C. How could that possibly be? Why were all of these ultrasophisticated fighter jets averaging flight speeds only one quarter of their top speed when sent to intercept hostile aircraft and protect New York City and our nation’s Capital, Washington D.C.? What exactly is the purpose of these fighter jets being able to go 1875+ MPH and 1500 MPH, yet when the United States is being attacked and needs them the most they are only somehow capable of doing one quarter of their top speed? The United States Air Force is the most technologically advanced, and the most dominate military force ever known to man, and yet we didnt have any other fighters on routine patrols or training missions anywhere within 1000 miles of New York City or Washington D. C. that morning? I have talked to a few people in the Air Force, and this totally impossible. There are always fighters up on routine patrols or training missions. So where were they? And lastly, why didn’t the Air Force follow procedure and immediately scramble a recon aircraft or two to monitor any of these 4 flights like they did for the late great golfer Payne Stewart when his Lear jet went off course? This is not Oshkosh, Wisconsin we are talking about protecting here, it is New York City and the Capital of the United States, Washington D.C., and its air defenses were left total unguarded for almost an hour and a half by the same country who have the greatest air superiority by far ever known. What type of a preposterous wag of the NORAD tale is this? Both of these groups of fighters, the F-15s out of Otis, and the F-16s out of Langley were put in the air merely as window dressing. To make the public actually think they were valiantly trying to intercept these 4 hijacked planes. There is only one explanation for this -- our Air Force was ordered to stand down on 911. 9:49 a.m. Pittsburgh International Airport flight tower is evacuated. 9:55 a.m. Bush arrives at the SarasotaBradenton International Airport and boards Air Force One. Inside his White House bunker, a military aide asks Cheney, “There is a plane 80 miles out. There is a fighter in the area. Should we engage?” Cheney immediately says, “Yes.” As the fighter gets nearer to United Airlines Flight 93, he is asked the same thing twice more, and responds yes both times. 9:58 a.m. Confrontation with the hijackers and the passengers begins aboard United Airlines Flight 93. Emergency dispatcher in Pennsylvania receives a call from a passenger on Flight 93. The passenger says: “We are being hijacked!” A frantic male passenger onboard United Airlines Flight 93 called the 911 emergency number, he told the operator, named Glen Cramer, that he had locked himself inside one of the toilets. Cramer told the AP, in a report that was widely broadcast on September 11th, that the passenger had spoken for one minute. “We’re being hijacked, we’re being hijacked!” the man screamed into his mobile phone. “We confirmed that with him several times,” Cramer said, “and we asked him to repeat what he said. He was very distraught. He said he believed the plane was going down. He did hear some sort of an explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane, but he didn’t know where. And then we lost contact with him.” This was the last cell phone call made from any passengers on any of the hijacked planes. 9:59 a.m. Air Force One Departs Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, Sarasota, Florida bound for Washington D.C. Air Force One departed with no extra military protection, even though 2 of the 7 military air stations we had on full alert to protect the continental United States that day were based in Florida. Homestead Air Station in Homestead is 185 miles and the Tyndall Air Station in Panama City is 235 miles from Sarasota. These two air stations should have been ordered to scramble their fighters at 8:20 or 8:40 or 8:43 or 8:46:26 or 9:02:54 or at the very least, at 9:24. Flying at top speed, both of these air stations fighters could have been in Sarasota in about 20 minutes to protect Air Force One. Where were the fighters from both of these air stations? Did both of these air stations have something better to do that day than protect Air Force One? Please, this just does not happen. Also, is the place to be in the air when there are still hundreds of airliners in the air, and who knew then how many of them were hostile or not? We have captured and saved the video of Bush as he arrives at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and the take-off of Air Force One. Also, please take a look at the August 30, 2002 BBC article which states: In the immediate aftermath of the terror attacks US fighter planes took to the skies to defend America from any further attacks. Their mission was to protect pResident George W. Bush and to intercept any hijacked aircraft heading to other targets in the US. a 2.1 magnitude earthquake during the 10-second collapse of the South Tower at 9:59:04 and a 2.3 quake during the 9-second collapse of the North Tower at 10:28:31. The south tower of the World Trade Center suddenly collapses, plummeting into the streets below. A massive cloud of dust and debris quickly fills lower Manhattan. It is later explained (disinformation) that the collapse was not directly caused by the impact, but the intense heat caused by the fire fueled by the jet’s fuel weakening the steel support beams of the concrete floors. The WTC towers were built to withstand a 707 being flown into them. A 767 carries almost the same amount of fuel as a 707. The Palisades seismic record shows that -- as the collapses began -- a huge seismic “spikes” marked the moment the greatest energy went into the ground. The strongest jolts were both registered at the beginning of the collapses, well before the falling debris struck the earth. Seismographs at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York, 21 miles north of the WTC, recorded very interesting seismic activity on September 11, 2001 that has still not been explained. While the aircraft crashes caused minimal earth shaking, significant earthquakes with unusual spikes occurred at the beginning of each collapse. The Palisades seismic data recorded These unexplained “spikes” in the seismic data tends to lend credence to the theory that perhaps a massive explosion(s) in the lowest level of the basements where the supporting steel columns of the WTC met the bedrock caused the collapses. A “sharp spike of short duration” is how seismologist Thorne Lay of University of California at Santa Cruz told AFP an underground nuclear explosion appears on a seismograph. The two unexplained spikes are more than twenty times the amplitude of the other seismic waves associated with the collapses and occurred in the East-West seismic recording as the buildings began to fall. In the basements of the collapsed towers, where the 47 central support columns connected with the bedrock, hot spots of “literally molten steel” were discovered. Such persistent and intense residual heat, 70 feet below the surface, could explain how these crucial structural supports failed. Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction of Flushing, New York, told AFP that he saw pools of “literally molten steel” at the World Trade Center. Tully was contracted on September 11 to remove the debris from the site. Tully called Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, Maryland, for consultation about removing the debris. CDI calls itself “the innovator and global leader in the controlled demolition and implosion of structures.” Loizeaux, who cleaned up the bombed Federal Building in Oklahoma City, arrived on the WTC site two days later and wrote the clean-up plan for the entire operation. AFP asked Loizeaux about the report of molten steel on the site. “Yes,” he said, “hot spots of molten steel in the basements.” These incredibly hot areas were found “at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven [basement] levels,” Loizeaux said. The molten steel was found “three, four, and five weeks later, when the rubble was being removed,” Loizeaux said. He said molten steel was also found at 7 WTC, which collapsed mysteriously at 5:20 on September 11th. Construction steel has an extremely high melting point of about 2800� Fahrenheit (1535� Celsius). Asked what could have caused such extreme heat, Tully said, “Think of the jet fuel.” A way to prove that explosives had blasted the supporting steel columns of the Twin Towers would be to examine fragments from them among the debris for evidence of what metallurgists call “twinning”. While steel is often tested for evidence of explosions, despite numerous eyewitness reports of explosions in the towers, the engineers involved in the FEMA-sponsored building assessment did no such tests. The WTC debris was removed as fast as possible and no forensic examination of the debris was permitted by the FBI or any other government agency. Almost all the 300,000 tons of steel from the Twin Towers was sold to New York scrap dealers and exported to places like China and Korea as quickly as it could be loaded onto the ships, thereby removing the evidence. The magazine Fire Engineering, a respected journal of firefighting for 125 years, which publishes studies of catastrophic fires, criticized the American Society of Civil Engineers and FEMA investigations as “a halfbaked farce.” Fire Engineering editor WiIliam A. Manning wrote in the January issue: “... the structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of jet fuel in themselves were not enough to bring down the towers.” Why is such there disparity in opinion within the ranks of the fire-engineering community? The immense clouds of dust and apparent disintegration of the 425,000 cubic yards of concrete of the World Trade Center cause me to question the MIT account of events. Describing the ruins, television evangelist Dr. Robert Schuller said that “... there was not a single block of concrete in that rubble.” One observer described the scene “as if some high-energy disintegration beam or laser had been focused on the towers and pulverized the concrete into minute particles of ash and dust.” The 110-ten-story World Trade Center reduced to dust by jet fuel? Dr. Michael Baden, New York state’s chief forensic pathologist and an expert in pathology said in September that most of the victims’ bodies should be identifiable, because the fires had not reached the 3200F for 30 minutes necessary to incinerate a body. At a November press conference, Dr. Charles Hirsch, the chief medical examiner, told grieving relatives that many bodies had been “vaporized.” Are we to believe that the people killed on 9/11 were “vaporized” at 1700F? The World Trade Center smoldering pits of molten steel burned for exactly 100 days, despite the constant spray of water being applied. The fires were finally reported extinguished on December 19. Also, the collapses of the south tower at 9:59:04 took only 10 seconds while the collapse of the north tower at 10:28:31 took only 9 seconds, this is only slightly more than a free fall from the same height, indicating that there was very little resistance. Yet the floors themselves are quite robust, each one is 39” thick; the top 4” is a poured concrete slab, with interlocking vertical steel trusses underneath. This steel would absorb a lot of kinetic energy by crumpling as one floor fell onto another. So how did both of the towers fall so quickly? In a newly release audio, two of New York Citys Bravest are heard to have made it up to where United Airlines Flight 175 impacted, the 78th floor. Their voices where calm, they explain what was needed to help the many causalities and to put out the two small fires that they discovered. The type of fire that these two NYC Firemen describe does not seem to jive at all with the inferno that is blamed for melting the support beams and bringing down the first steel high-rise or skyscraper ever. Also, Louie Cacchioli 51, another NYC firefighter, assigned to Engine 47 in Harlem, has stated on September 11, 2001: “We were the first ones in the second tower after the plane struck. I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in the building. I had just asked another firefighter to stay with me, which was a good thing because we were trapped inside the elevator and he had the tools to get out.” “There were probably 500 people trapped in the stairwell. It was mass chaos. The power went out. It was dark. Everybody was screaming. We had oxygen masks and we were giving people oxygen. Some of us made it out and some of us didn’t. I know of at least 30 firefighters who are still missing. This is my 20th year. I am seriously considering retiring. This might have done it.” When cameraman and Jules Naudet arrived at WTC tower one along with other crews of NYC Firemen and entered the building’s ground floor lobby, they were to a one completely puzzled, actually astonished, to find significant and widespread damage to the entire lobby area; although not of a deep, structural kind. Moreover, nowhere was there any indication whatsoever of an incendiarytype explosion or any kind of fire in this area. Yet the incredible number of blown-out windows and other extensive though rather superficial damage throughout the lobby area was profoundly perplexing to these experienced professional firefighters in relation to the impact of the plane eighty stories above. As one put it: “The lobby looked like the plane hit the lobby!” Other reports, from firemen, have said that the FBIs offices in NYC that were on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th floors of the north tower of the WTC were totally destroyed, presumably by bombs. 10:00 a.m. Bill Wright is flying a small plane when an air traffic controller asks him to look around outside his window. He sees United Airlines Flight 93 three miles away - close enough to see the United Airlines colors. Air traffic control asks him the plane’s altitude, and then commands him to get away from the plane and land immediately. Wright saw the plan rock back and forth three or four times before he flew from the area. He speculates that the hijackers were trying to throw off the attacking passengers. The NRC tells all nuclear power stations to go to the highest level of alert. 10:01 a.m. The FAA orders F-16 fighters to scramble from Toledo, Ohio. Although the base has no fighters on stand-by alert status, it manages to put fighters in the air 16 minutes later, a “phenomenal” response time - but still 10 minutes after the last hijacked plane has crashed. One interesting aspect is that NORAD has explained that it didn’t scramble fighters from bases nearer to the hijacked planes because they only used bases in the NORAD defensive network (a mere 7 bases in the entire US). Yet this Toledo base wasn’t part of that network, so why weren’t planes in this base and other bases scrambled an hour or more earlier? Could it be that they were scrambled earlier, and that it was one of these F-16’s that tailed Flight 93? While it hasn’t been reported in the media yet, note this recent claim by a seismologist that there was a sonic boom in Western Pennsylvania at 9:22. Could that have been a fighter tracking United Airlines Flight 93? 10:02 a.m. After a review of radar tapes, a radar signal of United Airlines Flight 93 is detected near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 10:03 a.m. An unconfirmed report of a fire at the State Department in Washington D.C. -- Later confirmed not true. According to the FBI, the cockpit voice recorder stops and United Airlines Flight 93 crashes near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in Somerset county, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. 10:04 a.m. Johnstown-Cambria County Airport reports United Airlines Flight 93 is 15 miles south. 10:06:05 a.m. According to seismic data, United Airlines Flight 93 crashes near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in Somerset county, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. This is also 124 miles or 15 minutes away at 500 MPH from Washington D.C. An eyewitness reports seeing a white plane resembling a fighter jet circling the site just after the crash. The F-16’s from Langley AFB arrived in Washington D.C at 9:49 a.m. The F-16 has a top speed of 1500 MPH. After the Pentagon gets hit by American Airlines Flight 77 at 9:37, there is only one airliner left in the sky with its transponder signal off, and once again heading directly for Washington D.C., and that is United Airlines Flight 93. Flying at top speed these F-16s could have intercepted United Airlines Flight 93 within 5 to 8 minutes depending on when they would have left. Why didn�t these F-16s try to intercept United Airlines Flight 93? Listen to what a former Pentagon air traffic controller says “All those years ago when I was at the Pentagon, this wouldn’t have happened. ATC Radar images were (and are) available in the understructures of the Pentagon, and any commercial flight within 300 miles of D. C. that made an abrupt course change toward Washington, or turned off their transponder and refused to communicate with ATC, would have been intercepted at supersonic speeds within minutes by fighters out of Andrews AFB. Why there were no fighters from Andrews AFB up baffles me. If we could get fighters notified, scrambled, and airborne within about 6 minutes from Andrews AFB then, we could now.” Shortly after 911, a flight controller in New Hampshire ignores a ban on controllers speaking to the media, and it is reported he claims “that an F-16 fighter closely pursued Flight 93... the F-16 made 360-degree turns to remain close to the commercial jet, the employee said. ‘He must’ve seen the whole thing,’ the employee said of the F-16 pilot’s view of Flight 93’s crash.” Numerous eyewitnesses see and hear United Airlines Flight 93 just before its crash: 1) Terry Butler, at Stoystown: he sees the plane come out of the clouds, low to the ground. “It was moving like you wouldn’t believe. Next thing I knew it makes a heck of a sharp, righthand turn.” It banks to the right and appears to be trying to climb to clear one of the ridges, but it continues to turn to the right and then veers behind a ridge. About a second later it crashes. 2) Ernie Stuhl, the mayor of Shanksville: “I know of two people -- I will not mention names -- that heard a missile. They both live very close, within a couple of hundred yards... This one fellow’s served in Vietnam and he says he’s heard them, and he heard one that day.” He adds that based on what he has learned; F-16’s were “very, very close.” 3) Laura Temyer of Hooversville: “I didn’t see the plane but I heard the plane’s engine. Then I heard a loud thump that echoed off the hills and then I heard the plane’s engine. I heard two more loud thumps and didn’t hear the plane’s engine anymore after that” (she insists that people she knows in state law enforcement have privately told her the plane was shot down, and that decompression sucked objects from the aircraft, explaining why there was a wide debris field). 4) Charles Sturtz, a half-mile from the crash site: The plane is heading southeast and has its engines running. No smoke can be seen. “It was really roaring, you know. Like it was trying to go someplace, I guess.” 5) Michael Merringer, two miles from the crash site: “I heard the engine gun two different times and then I heard a loud bang” 6) Tim Lensbouer, 300 yards away: “I heard it for 10 or 15 seconds and it sounded like it was going full bore.” Accounts have the plane flying upside down. 7) Rob Kimmel, several miles from the crash site: He sees it fly overhead, banking hard to the right. It is 200 feet or less off the ground as it crests a hill to the southeast. “I saw the top of the plane, not the bottom.” 8) Eric Peterson of Lambertsville: He sees a plane flying overhead unusually low. The plane seemed to be turning end-overend as it dropped out of sight behind a tree line. 9) Bob Blair of Stoystown: He sees the plane spiraling and flying upside down before crashing. It�s not much higher than the treetops. Accounts of a sudden plunge and more strange sounds. 10) An unnamed witness says he hears two loud bangs before watching the plane take a downward turn of nearly 90 degrees. 11) Another unnamed witness sees the plane overhead. It makes a high-pitched, screeching sound. The plane then makes a sharp, 90-degree downward turn and crashes. 12) Tom Fritz, about a quartermile from the crash site: he hears a sound that “wasn’t quite right” and looks up in the sky. “It dropped all of a sudden, like a stone,” going “so fast that you couldn’t even make out what color it was.” 13) Terry Butler, a few miles north of Lambertsville: “It dropped out of the clouds.” The plane rose slightly, trying to gain altitude, then “it just went flip to the right and then straight down.” 14) Lee Purbaugh, 300 yards away: “There was an incredibly loud rumbling sound and there it was, right there, right above my head � maybe 50 feet up... I saw it rock from side to side then, suddenly, it dipped and dived, nose first, with a huge explosion, into the ground. I knew immediately that no one could possibly have survived.” 15) Linda Shepley: She hears a loud bang and sees the plane bank to the side. She sees the plane wobbling right and left, at a low altitude of roughly 2,500 feet, when suddenly the right wing dips straight down, and the plane plunges into the earth. She says had an unobstructed view of Flight 93’s final two minutes. 16) Kelly Leverknight in Stony Creek Township of Shanksville: “There was no smoke, it just went straight down. I saw the belly of the plane.” It sounds like it is flying low, and its heading east. 17) Tim Thornsberg, working in a nearby strip-mine: “It came in low over the trees and started wobbling. Then it just rolled over and was flying upside down for a few seconds ... and then it kind of stalled and did a nose dive over the trees.” What sense can be made of all these different accounts? Some say it was flying a couple thousand feet up and suddenly plunged down, some say it was flying extremely low. Turns, climbs, strange noises, flipping, etc. While many of these accounts conflict, virtually all support a missile strike, because of the common theme of noises and a plane struggling to rise and stay in the air. The plunge doesn’t seem to be a deliberate thrust of the plane towards the ground, but instead the result of engine failure. Other passenger planes hit by missiles continued to fly for several minutes before crashing. For instance, two Russian missiles hit a Korean Airline 747 in 1983, yet it continued to fly for two more minutes. 10:06 a.m.: and after “Lee Purbaugh is one of at least half a dozen named individuals who have reported seeing a second plane flying low and in erratic patterns, not much above treetop level, over the crash site within minutes of United Airlines Flight 93 crashing. They describe the plane as a small, white jet with rear engines and no discernible markings.” Susan Mcelwain saw a small white jet with rear engines and no discernible markings swooped low over her minivan near an intersection and disappeared over a hilltop, nearly clipping the tops of trees lining the ridge. She saw this less than a minute before the United Airlines Flight 93 crash rocked the countryside. Dennis Decker and Rick Chaney, Decker speaking: “As soon as we looked up [after hearing United Airlines Flight 93 crash], we saw a midsize jet flying low and fast. It appeared to make a loop or part of a circle, and then it turned fast and headed out.” Decker and Chaney described the plane as a Lear-jet type, with engines mounted near the tail and painted white with no identifying markings. “It was a jet plane, and it had to be flying real close when that 757 went down. If I was the FBI, I’d find out who was driving that plane.” Jim Brandt and Tom Spinello both report seeing a small plane with no markings stay about one or two minutes over the crash site before leaving. The FBI later says this was a Fairchild Falcon 20 business jet, directed after the crash to fly from 37,000 feet to 5,000 feet and obtain the coordinates for the crash site to help rescuers. The FBI also says there was a C-130 military cargo aircraft flying at 24,000 feet about 17 miles away, but that plane wasn’t armed and had no role in the crash. Was the unmarked jet some kind of reconnaissance plane, and the C-130 a cover story for sending fighters in the area? 10:07 a.m. A NYC Police helicopter sends an urgent message over the radio that the North Tower is leaning and in imminent danger of collapse. 10:08 a.m. Secret Service agents armed with automatic rifles are deployed into Lafayette Park across from the White House. evacuated. The Pentagon “E Section” collapses. 10:13 a.m. Almost 12,000 people are evacuated from The United Nations. 10:15 a.m. The Palestinian group Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) reportedly takes responsibility for the crashes, but this is quickly denied by a senior officer of the group. flying into the United States are being diverted to Canada. 10:28:31 a.m. The North Tower of the World Trade Center collapses. The fact that the northern tower withstood much longer than the southern one is later attributed to three facts: the region of impact was higher, the speed of the airplane was lower, and the affected floors had their fire proofing upgraded. Two F-16�s from the 180th Fighter Wing in Toledo, Ohio take off, heading east. Exactly at the beginning of the collapse of the north tower there was a seismic event that was the equivalent to a magnitude 2.3 earthquake. This unexplained “spike” in the seismic data tends to lend credence to the theory that perhaps a massive explosion(s) in the lowest level of the basement where the supporting steel columns of the WTC met the bedrock that caused the collapse (see 9:59:04 a.m. # 109). 10:22 a.m. The Twin Towers Were Deliberately Demolished. 2,000 planes have landed in the U.S. since the 9:40 FAA order was issued telling all planes in the air to land at the nearest airport. 10:17 a.m. 10:10 a.m. In Washington D.C., the Justice and State departments are evacuated, along with the World Bank. The FAA orders all planes to land at nearest airports. 10:24 a.m. The FBI headquarters The FAA reports that all inbound transatlantic aircraft 10:32 a.m. Cheney called Bush on Air Force One, on its way from Florida to Washington, to say the White House had just received a threat against the plane. The caller had used its code word, “Angel,” suggesting terrorists had inside information. Card was told it would take between 40 minutes and 90 minutes to get a protective fighter escort up to Air Force One. now westerly toward Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. It was within easy range, and once there food and fuel could be loaded and the president could have access to its more sophisticated communications systems. says all state government offices are closed. 11:00 a.m. All federal office buildings in Washington D. C. are evacuated. Evacuations are ordered at the tallest skyscrapers in several cities, and major tourist attractions are closed, including Walt Disney World, Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, Seattle’s Space Needle and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. 10:35 a.m. 10.46 a.m. 11:02 a.m. Washington D.C. Police are reportedly alerted about a bomb in a car outside the State Department. Later reports claim that nothing happened at the State Department. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell cuts short his trip to Latin America to return to the United States. Giuliani urges New Yorkers to stay at home and orders an evacuation of the area south of Canal Street (see 1:02 p.m. # 159). Bush told an aide that Air Force One “is next.” He was in an angry mood. “We’re going to find out who did this,” he said to Cheney, “and we’re going to kick their asses.” 10:41 a.m. Air Force One was still en route to Washington when Cheney called again. This time, he urged Bush not to return. “There’s still a threat to Washington.” Rice agreed, and had told Bush the same thing. There was little debate or discussion. Cheney was worried the terrorists might be trying to decapitate the government, to kill its leaders. Bush agreed. 10:43 a.m. Air Force One banks suddenly and sharply to the left, its course 10:45 a.m.: 10.48 a.m. Police confirm the crash of a large plane in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. 10:50 a.m. Five stories of the Pentagon collapse due to the fire. 10:53 a.m. New York’s primary elections scheduled for today are postponed. 11:26 a.m. United Airlines reports that Flight 93, en route from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco, has crashed in Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh. 11:40 a.m. Canada shuts down all airports. 11:15 a.m. 11:45 a.m. There were reports that the F-16s over Washington had shot something down. There was no later confirmation of these reports. From Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, Bush made a brief and informal initial statement to the effect that terrorism on U.S. soil would not be tolerated, stating that “freedom itself has been attacked and freedom will be protected.” 11:08 a.m. 11:16 a.m. Israel evacuates all diplomatic missions. 10:57 a.m. 11:17 a.m. New York Gov. George Pataki American Airlines reports it 11:55 a.m. The border between the U.S. and Mexico is placed on highest alert, but is not closed. 12:02 p.m. The Taliban government of Afghanistan denounces the attacks. 12:04 a.m. Los Angeles International Airport, the destination of American Airlines Flights 11 and United Airlines 175, is evacuated. 12:15 a.m. Air Force One arrives at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. CNN reports that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are preparing emergencyresponse teams in a precautionary move. 10:54 a.m. has lost two aircraft. American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles, had 81 passengers and 11 crewmembers aboard. American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757 en route from Washington’s Dulles Airport to Los Angeles, had 58 passengers and six crew members aboard. 11:53 a.m. United Airlines confirms that Flight 175, from Boston to Los Angeles, has crashed with 56 passengers and nine crewmembers aboard. San Francisco International Airport, the destination of United Flight 93 is evacuated and shut down. The Immigration and Naturalization Service says U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico are on the highest state of alert, but no decision is made about closing the borders. 12:36 p.m. Bush finally appeared on television from the Barksdale Air Force Base conference room, it was not a reassuring picture. He spoke haltingly, mispronouncing several words as he looked down at his notes. He says that all appropriate security measures are being taken, including putting the United States military on high alert worldwide. He asks for prayers for those killed or wounded in the attacks and says: “Make no mistake, the United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts.” When he got to the last sentence, he seemed to gain strength. “The resolve of our great nation is being tested,” he said in even tones. “But make no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test.” The FAA says all aircraft ordered to land at 9:40 have landed. His remarks were fed by the media pool to the networks, causing a short delay before the nation could see them. The entire statement consisted of just 219 words, and Bush took no questions from reporters. 12:30 p.m. 1:00 p.m. 12:16 p.m. The FAA says 50 flights are in U.S. airspace, but none are reporting any problems. At the Pentagon, fire crews are still fighting fires. The early response to the attack had been coordinated from the National Military Command Center, but that had to be evacuated when it began to fill with smoke. 1:02 p.m. New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani orders an evacuation of Manhattan south of Canal Street. 1:27 p.m. Mayor Anthony A. Williams of Washington, D.C., declares a state of emergency; the National Guard arrives on site. 1:44 a.m. The Pentagon says five warships and two aircraft carriers (USS George Washington and USS John F. Kennedy) will leave Norfolk, Virginia to protect the East Coast from further attack and to reduce the number of ships in port. 1:48 p.m. President Bush leaves Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana aboard Air Force One and flies to an undisclosed location. He flies to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) bunker at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska where there were secure facilities that would allow the president to conduct a meeting of his National Security Council in Washington over a video link. On the plane, Bush expressed his irritation over being away from the White House. “I want to go back home ASAP,” he told Card, according to notes of the conversation. “I don’t want whoever did this holding me outside of Washington.” Some aides recall Bush saying he would return to Washington later in the day, unless there was some extraordinary new threat. The senior Secret Service agent aboard Air Force One told Bush the situation was “too unsteady still” to allow his return. “The right thing is to let the dust settle,” Card said. 2:00 p.m. Senior FBI sources tell CNN they are working on the assumption that the four airplanes that crashed were hijacked as part of a terrorist attack. 2:15 p.m. Bush onboard Air Force One en route to the (SAC) bunker at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska talks to Cheney again and schedules a 4 p.m. meeting of his national security staff -- He also talks to New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Gov. George Pataki. “I know your heart is broken and your city is strained and anything we can do, let me know,” Bush says. 2:30 p.m. president is.” The FAA announces there will be no U.S. commercial air traffic until noon EDT Wednesday. 2:51 p.m. Senator John McCain characterizes attack as an “act of war.” 2:36 p.m. En route to Offutt, Bush reached his father on the phone. His aides left him alone in the cabin. “Where are you?” Bush recalled asking his father. The former president said he and his wife, Barbara, were in Milwaukee, on their way to Minneapolis. “What are you doing in Milwaukee?” “You grounded my plane,” the former president said. 2:49 p.m. At a news conference, Giuliani says that subway and bus service are restored in New York City. Asked about the number of people killed, Giuliani says, “I don’t think we want to speculate about that -- more than any of us can bear.” 2:50 p.m. Before leaving Air Force One, Bush repeated to his lead Secret Service agent, “We need to get back to Washington. We don’t need some tinhorn terrorist to scare us off. The American people want to know where their The Navy dispatches missile destroyers and other equipment to New York and Washington. 3:06 p.m. Air Force One landed at U.S. Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Bush was driven the short distance to the U.S. Strategic Command headquarters and was ushered into the secure command center, a cavernous room with multi-story video screens and batteries of military personnel at computer terminals hooked into satellites monitoring activities around the globe. As Bush arrived, they were tracking a commercial airliner on its way from Spain to the United States. It was giving out an emergency signal, indicating it might be hijacked. Very bizarrely, Warren Buffett, (reported to be the second richest person on Earth), has a golf outing for top Corporate CEOs, at the same Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. What is the likelihood of that happening? 3:30 p.m. Bush convened the day’s first meeting of his National Security Council; the others were piped in by secure video links from various command centers in Washington. CIA Director Tenet reported that he was virtually certain Usama bin Laden and his network were behind the attacks. A check of the passenger manifests of the hijacked flights had turned up three known al-Qaeda operatives on American Airlines Flight 77, which had struck the Pentagon. Please check out the passenger name manifest list (there are no Arabic names on the list). One of them, Khalid Al-Midhar, had come to the CIA’s attention the previous year, when he traveled to Malaysia and met with a key al-Qaeda suspect in the 2000 terrorist bombing of the USS Cole. The FBI had been informed about Al-Midhar and he had been put on a watch list, but he had slipped into the United States over the summer and the bureau had been looking for him since. Tenet said al-Qaeda was the only terrorist organization in the world that had the capability to pull off such well-coordinated attacks. And, he said, intelligence monitoring had overheard a number of known Usama bin Laden operatives congratulating each other after the strikes. Intel- ligence monitoring also found five Mossad agents congratulating themselves after the strike. Israel is the only terrorist state in the world that had the capacity to pull off such a well coordinated strike and pin the blame on others. He said information collected before September 11 but only now being processed indicated that operatives had expected something big. But none of it specified the day, time or place of the attacks in a way that would have allowed the CIA or FBI to preempt them. “Get your ears up,” Bush told Tenet and the others. “The primary mission of this administration is to find them and catch them.” Cheney voiced concern that more hijacked planes could be out there. Tenet said that since all the attacks had taken place before 10 a.m., that was probably it for the day but there was no way to be sure. FBI Director Mueller expressed concerns that investigators still did not know how the terrorists had penetrated airport security. Tenet said it was essential to know this before flights resumed. “I’ll announce more security measures, but we won’t be held hostage,” Bush insisted. “We’ll fly at noon tomorrow,” he said, although it took three more days for commercial flights to resume and then only on a reduced schedule. Someone mentioned that New York officials had asked whether they should urge people to go back to work the next day, particularly those working in banks and the financial markets. “Terrorists can always attack,” Rumsfeld said. “The Pentagon’s going back to work tomorrow.” People in New York should go back to work, the president said. “Banks should open tomorrow, too.” Bush asked about coming back to Washington, although he had already told his traveling party that he would fly back immediately after the video conference. Cheney suggested the president return and make a statement at Andrews, but the Secret Service still insisted that it was not safe. “I’m coming back,” Bush said. As the meeting was ending Bush said, “We will find these people. They will pay. And I don’t want you to have any doubt about it.” In the course of this NSC videoconference, CIA Director George Tenet fed unconfirmed information to Bush. Tenet stated, “He was virtually certain that Usama bin Laden and his network were behind the attacks.” 3:55 p.m. Karen Hughes, a White House counselor, says the pResident is at an undisclosed location, later revealed to be an Air Force base in Nebraska, and is conducting a National Security Council meeting by phone. Vice President Dick Cheney and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice are in the underground bunker at the White House. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is at the Pentagon. Giuliani now says the number of critically injured in New York City is up to 200 with 2,100 total injuries reported. 4:00 p.m. CNN National Security Correspondent David Ensor reports that U.S. officials say there are “good indications” that bin Laden is involved in the attacks, based on “new and specific” information developed since the attacks. rescue teams to New York City. Building 7 of the World Trade Center complex is reported on fire. crash site -- A long shot, showing a 20 foot wide smoldering hole in the ground. Why does it take almost 7 hours to get anything on the television from this crash? 4:20 p.m. 5:15 p.m. U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, DFlorida, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, says he was “not surprised there was an attack (but) was surprised at the specificity.” He says he was “shocked at what actually happened -- the extent of it.” CNN Military Affairs Correspondent Jamie McIntyre reports fires are still burning in part of the Pentagon. No death figures have been released yet. 4:10 p.m. 4:25 p.m. The American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange say they will remain closed Wednesday. 4:30 p.m. NORAD releases a statement that denies it had anything to do with shooting down Unites Airlines Flight 93. 5:20:33 p.m. World Trade Center Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper, collapses. The evacuated building is damaged when the twin towers across the street collapse earlier in the day. The CIA (secretly) and the United States Secret Service had offices in this building. How and why World Trade Center Building 7 fell is still quite the mystery. 5:30 p.m. The president leaves Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska aboard Air Force One to return to Washington D.C. -- Air Force One now has an F-16 guarding it, off a wing. CNN Senior White House Correspondent John King reports that U.S. officials say the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania could have been headed for one of three possible targets: Camp David, the White House or the U.S. Capitol building. 4:06 p.m. 5:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. California Gov. Gray Davis dispatches urban search-and- The first national television feed of United Airlines Flight 93 Explosions are heard in Kabul, Afghanistan, hours after terrorist 4:36 p.m. attacks targeted financial and military centers in the United States. Afghanistan is believed to be the home of Saudi militant Usama bin Laden, who U.S. officials say is possibly behind Tuesday’s deadly attacks. U.S. officials say later that the United States had no involvement in the incident whatsoever. Iraq announces the attacks are the fruit of “U.S. crimes against humanity” in an official announcement on state television. 6:10 p.m. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani urges New Yorkers to stay home Wednesday if they can. 6:34 p.m. Air Force One landed at Andrews AFB. On his way back to the White House, his Marine One helicopter flew over the Pentagon to give him a firsthand look at the damage. 6:40 p.m. U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld holds a news conference in the Pentagon, noting the building is operational. “It will be in business tomorrow,” he says. 6:54 p.m. Bush arrives back at the White House aboard Marine One and is scheduled to address the nation at 8:30 p.m. The pResident earlier landed at Andrews Air Force Base with a three-fighter jet escort. CNN’s John King reports Laura Bush arrived earlier by motorcade from a “secure location.” So, when Air Force One departed Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport at 9:59 a.m. there was no extra military protection (fighter jets) even though there are still hundreds of airliners in the air, and who knew how many of them were hostile or not? Yet, when Air Force One arrives back home at Andrews Air Force Base, there are no airliners in the sky, and now he has a three-fighter jet escort. Why did every TV station show the fighters protecting him on his way from U.S. Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base to Andrews Air Force Base, making it seem as if they were always there when they weren’t? Why when he needed an escort from the fighters the most they are not there, yet when the skies are empty they are there? We have captured and saved the video of Bush as he arrives at Sarasota-Bradenton Interna- tional Airport, and the take-off of Air Force One with no extra military protection. Also, please take a look at the August 30, 2002 BBC article which states: In the immediate aftermath of the terror attacks US fighter planes took to the skies to defend America from any further attacks. Their mission was to protect pResident George W. Bush and to intercept any hijacked aircraft heading to other targets in the US. 7:02 p.m. CNN’s Paula Zahn reports the Marriott Hotel near the World Trade Center is on the verge of collapse and says some New York bridges are now open to outbound traffic. 7:17 p.m. U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft says the FBI is setting up a Web site for tips on the attacks: http://www.ifccfbi.gov He also says family and friends of possible victims can leave contact information at 1 800 331.0075. 7:30 p.m. The U.S. Government denies any responsibility for reported explosions in Kabul. 7:45 p.m. The New York Police Department says that at least 78 officers are missing. The city also says that as many as half of the first 400 firefighters on the scene were killed. 8:30 p.m. Bush addresses the nation, saying, “Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil” and asks for prayers for the families and friends of Tuesday’s victims. “These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve,” he says. The pResident says the U.S. government will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed the acts and those who harbor them. He adds that government offices in Washington are reopening for essential personnel Tuesday night and for all workers Wednesday. 9:00 p.m. Bush met with his full National Security Council, followed roughly half an hour later by the meeting with a smaller group of key advisers who would become his war cabinet. Powell, back in Washington from Peru, described the immediate diplomatic tasks: dealing with Afghanistan and its ruling Taliban, which harbored bin Laden, and neighboring Pakistan, which had closer ties to the Taliban regime than any other nation. “We have to make it clear to Pakistan and Afghanistan this is show-time,” Powell said. “This is a great opportunity,” Bush said, adding that the administration now had a chance to improve relations with other countries around the world, including Russia and China. It was more than flushing bin Laden out, he indicated. Cheney raised the military problem of retaliating against al-Qaeda’s home base, noting that in Afghanistan, a country decimated by two decades of war, it would be hard to find anything to hit. Bush returned to the problem of Usama bin Laden’s sanctuary in Afghanistan. Tenet said they must deny the terrorists that sanctuary by targeting the Taliban as well. Tell the Taliban we’re finished with them, he urged. Rumsfeld said the problem was not just bin Laden and al-Qaeda but the countries that supported terrorism-the point of the president’s address that night. Bush said, “We have to force countries to choose.” 10:49 p.m. CNN’s McIntyre reports the fire at the Pentagon is still burning and is considered contained but not under control. CNN Congressional Correspondent Jonathan Karl reports that Attorney General Ashcroft told members of Congress that there were three to five hijackers on each plane armed only with knives. 9:30 p.m. 10:56 p.m. 9:22 p.m. Bush brought together his most senior national security advisers in a bunker beneath the White House grounds. It was just 13 hours after the deadliest attack on the U.S. homeland in the country’s history. At the war cabinet, discussion turned to whether Usama bin Laden’s alQaeda network and the Taliban were the same. Tenet said they were. Usama bin Laden had bought his way into Afghanistan, supplying the Taliban with tens of millions of dollars. 9:57 p.m. Giuliani says New York City schools will be closed Wednesday and no more volunteers are needed for Tuesday evening’s rescue efforts. He says there is hope that there are still people alive in rubble. He also says that power is out on the westside of Manhattan and that health department tests show there are no airborne chemical agents about which to worry. CNN’s Zahn reports that New York City police believe there are people alive in buildings near the World Trade Center. 11:00 p.m. The war cabinet finishes its meeting and has decided to embark upon a military strike against Afghanistan, and a prolonged war on terror. 11:01 p.m. There are reports of survivors buried in the rubble in New York making cell phone calls. These rumors, however, are difficult to substantiate. 11:08 p.m. Bush at the White House: ‘We think it’s Usama bin Laden’ After the meeting had ended and Bush had returned to the residence, he and his wife were awakened by Secret Service agents. The agents rushed them downstairs to the bunker because of a report of an unidenti- fied plane in the area. Bush was in running shorts and a T-shirt as he made his way down the stairs, through the tunnel and into the bunker. It proved to be a false alarm, and the Bushes returned to the residence for the rest of the night. Like his father, Bush tries to keep a daily diary of his thoughts and observations. That night, he dictated: “The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today.” “We think its Usama bin Laden.” “We think there are other targets in the United States, but I have urged the country to go back to normal.” “We cannot allow a terrorist thug to hold us hostage. My hope is that this will provide an opportunity for us to rally the world against terrorism.” 11:54 p.m. CNN Washington Bureau Chief Frank Sesno reports that a government official told him there was an open microphone on one of the hijacked planes and that sounds of discussion and “duress” were heard. Sesno also reports a source says law enforcement has “credible” information and leads and is confident about the investigation. 11:59:59 p.m. The United Nations International Day Of Peace Ends. Conclusion Both Bush and Cheney personally intervened and asked Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) to “limit the congressional investigation into the events of Sept. 11,” according to CNN. Bush made the unusual request at a private meeting with congressional leaders on Jan. 29. He asked that the House and Senate intelligence committees look only into “the potential breakdowns among federal agencies that could have allowed the terrorist attacks to occur,” rather than conduct a comprehensive inquiry. Cheney made a similar appeal to Daschle on Jan. 25. “The vice president expressed the concern that a review of what happened on Sept. 11 would take resources and personnel away from the effort in the war on terrorism,” Daschle said. “I acknowledged that concern, and it is for that reason that the Intelligence Committee is going to begin this effort, trying to limit the scope and the overall review of what happened.” During the address to the country from Emma E. Booker Elementary School on September 11, 2001 Bush also promised a full investigation into 911. Well here we are one year later and there is still no investigation. Matter of fact he has done everything in his power so there will not be any investigation into 911. Why? A forensic investigation into what actually caused the buildings to collapse has not been opened and probably never will because the crucial evidence, such as steel from the building, was quickly removed rather than taken to a metallurgical laboratory to be examined. Fire Engineering magazine, a 125-year old respected journal which publishes technical studies of major fires, criticized the investigation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as “a halfbaked farce.” The journal said it “has good reason to believe that the official investigation blessed by FEMA and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is a half-baked farce, commandeered by political forces whose primary interests lie far afield of full disclosure.” Fatalities Past September 11th’s WTC 2819 NYC Medical Examiner 2823 NYC Police September 11, 1922 One of the things that the League of Nations did during its short period of existence was to grant Great Britain a special “Mandate” to establish a homeland for the Jewish people in the territory of Palestine, which had been taken from the newly defeated Turkish Empire. History records that the administration of this mandate effectively began with the swearing into office as High Commissioner and Commander in Chief for Palestine of the Right Honorable Sir Herbert Samuel, in Jerusalem, on September 11, 1922.

The words of the resolution practically echoed the Balfour Declaration. September 11, 1941 Construction begins on the Pentagon. September 11, 1941 Charles Lindbergh spoke about the danger of Jewish power in the media and government. The shy 39-year-old -- known around the world for his epic 1927 New York to Paris flight, the first solo trans-Atlantic crossing -- was addressing 7,000 people in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 11, 1941, about the dangers of U.S. involvement in the war then raging in Europe. The three most important groups pressing America into war, he explained, were the British, the Jews and the Roosevelt Administration. Of the Jews, he said: “Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government.” Lindbergh went on: “... For reasons which are understandable from their viewpoint as they are inadvisable from ours, for reasons which are not American, [they] wish to involve us in the war. We cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe to be their own interests, but we must also look out for ours. We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction.” September 11, 1973 President Salvador Allende of Chile was assassinated and his country taken over by a United States backed coup. September 11, 1994 A lone pilot crashed a stolen single-engine Cessna into a tree on the White House grounds just short of the President Clintons bedroom. “So we’ve never made the case, or argued the case that somehow Osama bin Laden was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming” —Dick Cheney In the over one hundred year history of steel high-rises and skyscrapers there has never been a single one, which has collapsed due to fire. On September 11, 2001 there were three such structures, which fell, World Trade Center Buildings Numbers One, Two and Seven.

Air Defenses Stood Down On 911 AFTER ATC Alerts Given ** Dozens of air bases were within MINUTES of BOTH 9.11 targets ** There is now irrefutable evidence which proves massive complicity on the part of the highest levels of government -- along with numerous accomplices and co-conspirators in the military, intelligence and administrative sectors -- in the September 11 atrocities perpetrated against the American people. It is a FACT that DOZENS of Air Force and Air National Guard bases are located within ten to thirty minutes intercept time of BOTH 9/11 target locations. It is a FACT that most of these installations have, at the ready, fighter jets such as F-16s to be scrambled on a MOMENT’s NOTICE, for intercepting troubled or problem aircraft. It is a FACT that air defense units DID receive alerts from Air Traffic Controllers and FAA officials on a number of aircraft across the East Coast which had broken communications and deviated radically from established flight paths on the morning of September 11. It is a FACT that standard intercept procedures for dealing with these kinds of situations ARE TOTALLY ESTABLISHED, IN FORCE and ON-LINE in these United States 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. It is a FACT that Air National Guard and Air Force air defense units of the United States WERE PROHIBITED from carrying out their STANDARD INTERCEPT PROCEDURES as detailed above on the morning of 9.11; AFTER they had received the alerts from ATC and FAA. When the first alerts were received from Air Traffic Control, ALL the air defense units were required to do was scramble STANDARD interceptors to make contact with the incommunicado and off-course jets. F-16s and other fighter planes WOULD HAVE overtaken EVERY SINGLE HIJACKED PLANE on September 11, BEFORE they had reached their targets. IF, at the time of interception, it was determined the aircraft were under hostile control and likely to impact targets, high-level air defense commanders at the Pentagon’s National Military Command Center (NMCC) are FULLY AUTHORIZED under existing and established regulations and procedures to authorize a shoot-down,. in order to PROTECT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM ATTACK. Yet air defense units that were READY AND WAITING on 9.11 at DOZENS of nearby installations were ordered NOT to scramble interceptors: they were ordered to stand down from carrying out even the FIRST STAGE of STANDARD INTERCEPT PROCEDURES. These orders came from the executive office of the president as well as from complicit individuals in the aforementioned NMCC. True patriots in this land who have SWORN to protect and defend our Republic MUST consider these irrefutable FACTS and set about unswerevingly to bring these complicit individuals to justice. Cheney’s “The Orders still Stand” No single smoking gun has yet been forwarded to explain why air defenses categorically reversed Standard Operating Procedure and failed to respond to hijacked jetliners. Until now. More and more individuals are looking at the facts and highlighting exercise drills that took place on the morning of 9/11. Cheney: “The orders still stand” (as Flight 77 approaches the Pentagon with no action taken to defend it) Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta was in the Presidential Emergency Operating Center with Vice President Cheney as Flight 77 approached Washington, D.C. On May 23, 2003 in front of the 9/11 Commission, Secretary Mineta testified: “During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, “The plane is 50 miles out.” “The plane is 30 miles out.” And when it got Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld down to “the plane is 10 miles out,” the young man also said to the Vice President, “Do the orders still stand?” And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, “Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?” As the plane was not shot down are we to take it that the orders were to let the plane find its target? Why Did the 9/11 Commission Lie about Vice President Cheney? “One sign of the complicity of Vice President Cheney is the fact that the 9/11 Commission evidently felt a need to lie about the time of two of his activities: his entry into the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) under the White House and his giving the order to shoot down any unauthorized airplanes. “It had been widely reported that Cheney had gone down to the PEOC shortly after the second strike on the WTC, hence about 9:15. The most compelling witness was Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, who testified to the 9/11 Commission that when he arrived at the PEOC at 9:20, Cheney was already there and fully in charge. “The 9/11 Commission Report, however, claimed that Cheney did not enter the PEOC until ‘shortly before 10:00, perhaps at 9:58.’ Mineta’s testimony, given in an open hearing, was simply omitted from the Commission’s final report. Why would the Commission go to such lengths to conceal the true time of Cheney’s entry into the PEOC? “One possible reason would involve the content of Mineta’s testimony. He said: ‘During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, ‘The plane is 50 miles out.’ ‘The plane is 30 miles out.’ And when it got down to ‘the plane is 10 miles out,’ the young man also said to the Vice President, ‘Do the orders still stand?’ And the Vice President . . . said, ‘Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?’ “Mineta said that this conversation---evidently meaning the final exchange---occurred at about 9:25 or 9:26. “This testimony creates a problem for the official story. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld’s spokesman, in explaining why the Pentagon was not evacuated before it was struck, claimed that ‘[t]he Pentagon was simply not aware that this aircraft was coming our way.’ The 9/11 Commission claimed that there was no warning about an unidentified aircraft heading towards Washington until 9:36 and hence only ‘one or two minutes’ before the Pentagon was struck at 9:38. Mineta’s account, however, says that Cheney knew about an approaching aircraft more than 10 minutes earlier. There would have been over 12 minutes for the Pentagon to be evacuated. “Mineta’s account also seems to suggest that Cheney had issued stand-down orders. Mineta himself did not make this allegation, saying instead that he assumed that ‘the orders’ were to have the plane shot down. But besides the fact that that interpretation does not fit what actually happened--the aircraft was not shot down---it would make the story unintelligible: The question whether the orders still stood would not make sense unless they were orders to do something unexpected---not to shoot the aircraft down. By omitting Mineta’s testimony and stating that Cheney did not enter the PEOC until almost 10:00, the 9/11 Commission implied that Cheney could not have given a standdown order to allow an aircraft to strike the Pentagon. “The lie about Cheney’s entry into the PEOC was also important to the controversy over whether the US military shot down Flight 93. The 9/11 Commission, simply ignoring a vast amount of evidence that the military did so, supported the official claim that it did not. The Commission provided this support by claiming that Cheney, having not arrived at the PEOC until almost 10:00, did not issue the shoot-down order until after 10:10---which would have been seven or more minutes after Flight 93 had crashed (at 10:03). But in addition to the evidence that Cheney had been in the PEOC since about 9:15, we also have evidence---including statements from Richard Clarke and Colonel Robert Marr, the head of NORAD’s northeast sector (NEADS) ---that Cheney’s shootdown order was issued well before 10:00. The Pentagon The Sheraton National Hotel may be the hotel from which the FBI seized a CCTV recording Inc. began with a request to the Department of Defense (DOD) in December of 2004. The Suppression of Video Footage of the Pentagon Attack It is striking that there is neither video footage nor any photographic evidence in the public domain showing a jetliner approaching or crashing into the Pentagon. As of May, 2006, the only video footage of the crash that has been released are clips from two Pentagon security cameras north of the crash site, one the source of 5 frames leaked in 2002. With the release of the two video clips, the Pentagon claims to have supplied all of the footage it has of the attack. Although the number and positions of security cameras monitoring the Pentagon is not public knowledge, it seems unlikely that only two security cameras captured the attack. Isn’t it reasonable to assume that there were dozens, if not hundreds, of security cameras ringing the huge building that is the heart of the United States military establishment? Videos Outside the Pentagon Seized The Sheraton National Hotel may be the hotel from which the FBI seized a CCTV recording. Not only has the government refused to release footage that would clearly show how the Pentagon was attacked, it has also seized footage not belonging to the military. The FBI confiscated video recordings from several private businesses near the Pentagon in the immediate aftermath of the attack. Those recordings, if they still exist, might provide with several security cameras aimed in the direction of the pentagon. Flight 77 flew directly over the gas station at an altitude of roughly 50 feet, less than 3 seconds from impact. decisive evidence about the attack. FBI Withholding 84 More Tapes of Pentagon on 9/11 There is an ongoing lawsuit to get these tapes released via the Freedom of Information Act. The FBI has admitted in a statement to attorney, Scott Hodes, representative of Mr Scott Bingham who runs the website http:// www.flight77.info/, that they have these tapes, that they have already analyzed them and are still keeping them under lock and key. * The FBI visited a hotel near the Pentagon to confiscate film from a security camera which some hotel employees had been watching in horror shortly after the attack. The FBI denied that the footage captured the attack. 1 A great deal of speculation has surrounded reports that on the morning of september 11th, 2001 the FBI visited two private businesses near the pentagon and confiscated several security camera video tapes. “His gas station, open only to Department of Defense personnel, is the last structure between the Pentagon and the hillside that, hours later, would become a wailing knoll. “By the time I got outside all I could see was a giant cloud of smoke, first white then black, coming from the Pentagon,” he said. “It was just a terrible, terrible thing to be so close to.” * The FBI visited the Citgo gas station southwest of the Pentagon within minutes of the attack to confiscate film that may have captured the attack. According to Jose Velasquez, who was working at the gas station at the time of the attack, the station’s security cameras would have captured the attack. The first is said to be the Cigto gas station Velasquez says the gas station’s security Three months after 9/11 The National Geographic and others reported on this, publishing short interviews with the gas station owner, Jose Velasquez. Lawsuits to Obtain Videos At least two plaintiffs have attempted to obtain videos seized by the FBI, using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The first, documented at Flight77.info, began with a request to the FBI in October of 2004. The second, undertaken by the Judicial Watch, Above, Gas station closest to the Pentagon which had its security cameras taken by the FBI cameras are close enough to the Pentagon to have recorded the moment of impact. “I’ve never seen what the pictures looked like,” he said. “The FBI was here within minutes and took the film.” The second business was initially believed to be the Sheraton National Hotel which overlooks I395 and the Pentagon. Initial reports pointed out that hotel staff had sat watching the video surveillance in horror before the FBI arrived and shut down the scene. Why did the FBI confiscate the gas station and hotel security videos within minutes of the crash and why haven’t they subsequently released these videos? Pentagon Accountants Killed in 9/11 Attacks Day After Rumsfeld Admitted $2.3 Trillion Missing The day after US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced that the military had lost $2.3 trillion, the accountants responsible for tracking the money were killed when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. “One Army office in the Pentagon lost 34 of its 65 employees in the attack,” reported The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Dec. 20, 2001. “Most of those killed in the office, called Resource Services Washington, were civilian accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts. They were at their desks when American Airlines Flight 77 struck.” In total, 184 people--including those onboard the hijacked airplane and inside the building--died as a result of the attack on the Pentagon. Pentagon wing which was attacked was also under construction day of 9/11 Some 24-thousand people work in the Pentagon. Initial reports soon after the terrorist attack said a hijacked American Airlines jet ploughed into the military complex that was under construction. Few pentagon personel were located in that area of the building. The official data never has the plane over Washington DC at all Eyewitnesses who saw a C-130 Allen Cleveland of Woodbridge Virginia looked out from a Metro train going to National Airport, to see a jet heading down toward the Pentagon. “I thought, ‘There’s no landing strip on that side of the subway tracks,’ “ Before he could process that thought, he saw “a huge mushroom cloud. The lady next to me was in absolute hysterics.” . “Soon after the crash (Within 30 seconds of the crash) I witnessed a military cargo plane (Possibly a C130) fly over the crash site and circle the mushroom cloud. My brother inlaw also witnessed the same plane following the jet while he was on the HOV lanes in Springfield. He said that he saw a jetliner flying low over the tree tops near Seminary RD in Springfield, VA. and soon afterwards a military plane was seen flying right behind Above, Rare photograph of the “mysterious” plane over the Pentagon which reportly was a C-130 it. I think this was also a reason for the false threat of another plane about to crash which caused rescuers to have to evacuate for a short time after the initial crash. I have done my research onthis and according to time magazine it took 24 minutes before Norad was supposedly notified about this particuliar jet and fighters were scrambling to intercept at that time. Isn’t it odd how there is Not a single mention of this aircraft in ANY of the articles written about this crash? Also if you had not noticed... There is not a single picture or live footage of the actual jet prior to its crash at the Pentagon. Nor is there any of the one that crashed in Pennsylvania. But if Anyone who rides the metro-rail knows, there are plenty of Video cameras all around National airport at the parking Garages and the high level security buildings found all around Crystal city. (3 of which I have personally found pointed directly towards crystal city which would have given a great line of site shot of that jet prior to the crash as well as any other plane which might have been following it. I personally believe that the government new full well that this was about to happen and they are hiding something a lot bigger than they are willing to let out. I was interviewed at Washingtonpost. com and gave them my full story, but they did not print it as I have told you. I also find it interesting that one of the planes engines in the pennsylvania crash was supposedly found 5 miles prior to the crash site (This information I’m unsure of ). The only thing that I’m aware of that might cause that would be a heat seeking missle. A weapon which I am pretty familiar with form Ord.training. I’m not saying that the government new exactly what was about to happen, but I do believe that they are definitely hiding something here. Many of my friends in intelligence have said the same. I work in a Gov. building in DC., but my heart is right there with you and your team. I hope you and those who served with you are doing well. Take care.” “Directly in back of the plume, which would place it almost due west from our office, a four-engine propeller plane, which he later said resembled a C-130, started a steep decent towards the Pentagon. It was coming from an odd direction (planes don’t go eastwest in the area), and it was descending at a much steeper angle than most aircraft. Trailing a thin, diffuse black trail from its engines, the plane reached the Pentagon at a low altitude and made a sharp left turn, passing just north of the plume, and headed straight for the White House. All the while, I was sort of talking at it: “Who the hell are you? Where are you going? You’re not headed for downtown!” -Cook, Scott P. E4B United States Air Force jet “The Doomsaday Plane” Shortly prior to 10 am upon a sunrise of Sep 11, 2001, among rumors of a fourth hijacked craft headed for Washington, DC, a poser aircraft appeared in limited airspace over a White House. There has never been an central reason for this incident . Below: The E4B Doomsday Plane caught on tape over Washington Opposite: The damage at the Pentagon Many questions though... This plane was confirmed over the pentagon reportedly before the smoke began to even rise from the pentagon attack, so we can almost certainly bet that they (the E4B) most likely witnessed the attacks(probably have it filmed) considering that it would normally be in a very high altitude going around 600mph. Instead of doing low and slow banking turns over the white house and the pentagon at the precise moment of the attacks. Then promptly doing a vanishing act from history until now. As to why this so called “Doomsday” plane was able to be over DC before the fighters were. Why hasnt anyone admitted to this plane being over DC? What was it doing there anyways at the exact time flight 77 reportedly struck the pentagon? Is there really a top secret video of f77 hitting the pentagon? Who were the guests on that E4B that day? Lastly, what else dont we know that is being closely held about that day that was in plain site but yet that the officials wont admit to no matter what? 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton told CNN he was wakeful of a situation as well as which it had simply never seemed critical sufficient to have it in to acommission’s report. Pentagon burned victim Like his father, Bush tries to keep a daily diary of his thoughts and observations. That night, he dictated: “The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today.” —[Washington Post] it was silver and had been painted green and red, but I could not see any identifying markings on the plane. I also saw a large piece of shattered glass. It appeared to be a cockpit windshield or other window from the plane. ... Jamie McIntyre Pentagon eyewitness. CNN Senior Pentagon Correspondent 1992 - present, based at CNN’s office in the Pentagon. Former Host and Senior Writer at Washington, D.C.’s WUSA-TV, for which he was honored with two local Emmy awards 1989 - 1991. CNN on-air conversation regarding the Pentagon on 9/11/01: Judy Woodruff (in the studio): And, Jamie, you got very close to where that plane went down. Jamie McIntyre (at the Pentagon): That’s right, Judy. A short -- a while ago I walked right up next to the building, firefighters were still trying to put the blaze. ... I could see parts of the airplane that crashed into the building, very small pieces of the plane on the heliport outside the building. The biggest piece I saw was about three feet long, Judy Woodruff: Jamie, Aaron was talking earlier -- or one of our correspondence was talking earlier -- I think -- actually, it was Bob Franken -- with an eyewitness who said it appeared that that Boeing 757, the American jet, American Airline jet, landed short of the Pentagon. Can you give us any better idea of how much of the plane actually impacted the building? Jamie McIntyre (at the Pentagon): You know it might have appeared that way, but from my close up inspection, there’s no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon. The only site is the actual side of the building that’s crashed in. And as I said, the only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you can pick up in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage. Nothing like that anywhere around, which would indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon and then caused the side to collapse. Now, even though if you look at the pictures of the Pentagon you see that the floors have all collapsed; that didn’t happen immediately. It wasn’t until almost about 45 minutes later that the structure was weakened enough that all of the floors collapsed. Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with Parade Magazine This is a question that’s been asked by many Americans, but especially by the widows of September 11th. How were we so asleep at the switch? How did a war targeting civilians arrive on our homeland with seemingly no warning? Rumsfeld: “...Here we’re talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filed with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center. The only way to deal with this problem is by taking the battle to the terrorists, wherever they are, and dealing with them. Lt. Col. Karen U. Kwiatkowski, PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret) Pentagon survivor.

Beyond this strange absence of airliner debris, there was no sign of the kind of damage to the Pentagon structure one would expect from the impact of a large airliner. This visible evidence or lack thereof may also have been apparent to the secretary of defense [Donald Rumsfeld], who in an unfortunate slip of the tongue referred to the aircraft that slammed into the Pentagon as a “missile”. ...The scene, in short, was not what I would have expected from a strike by a large jetliner. It was, however, exactly what one would expect if a missile had struck the Pentagon. ...” “I remember getting a call from the fire-department commande, telling me that they were not sure they were going to be able to contain the fire, and I said, “You know, we’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it, And they made that decision to pull, and then we watched the building collapse.” –Larry Silverstein The Pentagon Memorial for the 184 souls who perished “The speed by which our government was able to accumulate such a vast amount of information immediately following the 9/11 attacks (in less than 24 hours) is the most persuasive proof that our government had the hijackers under its surveillance. FBI agents descended upon the very flight schools (out of the thousands of flight schools A former high-level intelligence official told me, “Whatever trail was left was left deliberately--for the F.B.I. to chase.” –New Yorker 10/1/01 by Seymour Hersh in our country) that the hijackers attended within two hours of the attacks.

At 9:03 AM on 11 September 2001, the second airplane hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center. President Bush was in Florida, at the Emma T. Booker Elementary School, listening to children read. Chief of Staff Andrew Card came over and whispered in Bush’s ear, “A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack.” What did the Commander in Chief do? Nothing. He sat there. He sat for well over 5 minutes, doing nothing while 3,000 people were dying and the attacks were still in progress. His Chief of Staff likewise doesn’t think that America in flames warrants the President’s immediate attention.

If you could step out the door we came in, please.” A reporter then asked, “Mr. President, are you aware of the reports of the plane crash in New York? Is there anything...”, But Bush interrupted, and no doubt recalling his order, “DON’T SAY ANYTHING YET,” Bush responded, “I’ll talk about it later.” But still the president did not leave. “He stepped forward and shook hands with [classroom teacher] Daniels, slipping his left hand behind her in another photo-op pose.

In answer to a question from an eightyear-old in Florida, he said his first thought was: “There’s one terrible pilot.” Professional Demolition of World Trade Center Building 7 Larry Silverstein, the owner of the WTC complex, admitted on a September 2002 PBS documentary, ‘America Rebuilds’ that he and the NYFD decided to ‘pull’ WTC 7 on the day of the attack. The word ‘pull’ is industry jargon for taking a building down “You have 10-story buildings that leave more debris than these two 100-story towers, Where the fuck is everything? A serious week-long search and we’ve found 200 [bodies] in a pile of 5,000? What’s going on? Where is everyone? Why aren’t we finding more bodies? Cause it’s all vaporized -- turned to dust. We’re breathing people in that dust.” –– A fireman from Brooklyn after his 24 hour shift at Ground Zero. 7 World Trade Center NOVEMBER 2001 NY TIMES The Central Intelligence Agency’s clandestine New York station was destroyed in the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center, seriously disrupting United States intelligence operations while bringing the war on terrorism dangerously close to home for America’s spy agency, government officials say. The C.I.A.’s undercover New York station was in the 47-story building at 7 World Trade Center, one of the smaller office towers destroyed in the aftermath of the collapse of the twin towers that morning. All of the agency’s employees at the site were safely evacuated soon after the hijacked planes hit the twin towers, the officials said. The intelligence agency’s employees were able to watch from their office windows while the twin towers burned just before they evacuated their own building. Immediately after the attack, the C.I.A. dispatched a special team to scour the rubble in search of secret documents and intelligence reports that had been stored in the New York station, either on paper or in computers, officials said. It could not be learned whether the agency was successful in retrieving its classified records from the wreckage. (Could this be why they collapsed building 7? The information on file would have shown a completly different story about 9/11 and its files on “terrorists.”) WTC 7 ariel view of the aftermath Building 7 Building 7 occupied a block to the north of the World Trade Center Plaza. Its 23rd floor held Mayor Giuliani’s Emergency Command Center. This floor had bullet- and bombresistant windows, an independent air and water supply, and an unobstructed view of the north faces of both towers. The other government agencies with offices in the building were the IRS, the EEOC, the US Secret Service, the SEC, and the CIA. The private tenants were Salomon Smith Barney (a division of Citigroup), American Express Bank International, Standard Chartered Bank, Provident Financial Management, ITT Hartford Insurance Group, First State Management Group, Inc., Federal Home Loan Bank, and NAIC Securities. Large numbers of case files for ongoing investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) were reportedly destroyed in the collapse. The Los Angeles Times reported that “substantial files were destroyed” for 3000 to 4000 of the SEC’s cases. The EEOC reported that documents for 45 active cases were destroyed. Before the attack, SEC investigations of corporate fraud by companies such as Enron and Worldcom were the subject of many news reports -- reports that virtually vanished in the wake of the attack. Everyone remembers the Twin Towers exploding at 9:59AM and 10:28AM EDT on September 11, 2001. Comparatively few people can recall that there was a third massive skyscraper, also a part of the World Trade Center, which fell very rapidly to the ground on that day. This was World Trade Center Building 7. One reason that few remember WTC Building 7’s collapse is that after September 11th it has been treated, both in the media and in The 9/11 Commission Report, as if it didn’t happen. “The total collapse of the third huge skyscraper late in the afternoon September 11th was reported as if it were an insignificant footnote... most people never saw video of Building 7’s collapse… Incredibly, it is virtually impossible to find any mention of Building 7 in newspapers, magazines, or broadcast media reports after September 11th.” “The Commission avoids another embarrassing problem – explaining how WTC 7 could have collapsed, also virtually at free-fall speed – by simply not mentioning the collapse of this building.” On 16 September , NASA flew an airplane over the World Trade Center site, recorded infrared radiation coming from the ground, and created a thermal map. The U.S. Geological Survey analyzed this data, and determined the actual temperature of the rubble. This map shows that five days after the collapse of Building 7, the surface temperature of a section of its rubble was 1,341º F.8 This high a temperature is indicative of the use of explosives. “WTC 7’s rubble pile continued to smolder for months.” Fire Engineering magazine is the 125-yearold paper-of-record of the fire engineering community. Bill Manning, editor-in-chief, wrote an Editor’s Opinion in the January, 2002 edition. His editorial, $elling Out the Investigation, pointed out that destruction of evidence – the hurried removal of rubble which should be examined by investigators – is illegal. He also issued a “call to action”. To quote excerpts: “For more than three months, structural steel from the World Trade Center has been and continues to be cut up and sold for scrap. Crucial evidence that could answer many questions … is on the slow boat to China …” “I have combed through our national standard for fire investigation, NFPA 921, but nowhere in it does one find an exemption allowing the destruction of evidence for buildings over 10 stories tall.” “Fire Engineering has good reason to believe that the ‘official investigation’ blessed by FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is a half baked farce [emphasis mine] that may have already been commandeered by political forces whose primary interests, to put it mildly, lie far afield of full disclosure. Except for the marginal benefit obtained from a threeday, visual walk-through of evidence sites conducted by ASCE investigation committee members – described by one close source as a ‘tourist trip’ – no one’s checking evidence for anything.” FBI Special Agent Robert G. Wright Jr. speaks out about the truth with explosives. Photos taken moments before the collapse of WTC 7 show small office fires on just two floors. Firefighters were told to move away from the building moments before it collapsed. Three months before September 11, Wright wrote a stinging internal memo charging that the FBI was not interested in thwarting a terrorist attack, but rather “was merely gathering intelligence so they would know whoto arrest when a terrorist attack occurred.” –(UPI, May 30, 2002, cited in Griffin, p. 83) In February of 2002 Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties’estimated investment in WTC 7 was $386 million. So: This building’s collapse resulted in a profit of about $500 million! Engineers are baffled over the collapse of 7 WTC Almost lost in the chaos of the collapse of the World Trade Center is a mystery that under normal circumstances would probably have captured the attention of the city and the world. That mystery is the collapse of a nearby 47-story, two-million-square-foot building seven hours after flaming debris from the towers rained down on it, igniting what became an out-of-control fire.

FBI ‘was told to back off bin Laden family’: United States special agents were told to back off the bin Laden family and the Saudi royals soon after George Bush became president. Another FBI Agent Blows the Whistle on 9-11: FBI Special Agent Robert G. Wright Jr. held a news conference in Washington to reveal FBI negligence and obstruction of counterter- FBI Language Specialist Sibel Edmonds speaks out about the truth and is gagged rorism investigations targeting Hamas and al-Qaeda. On national TV he practically cried as he talked about how his bosses wouldn’t let him do his job in protecting the American people and preventing the WTC attacks. This lead Agent Wright to write a 500 paged manuscript, titled “Fatal Betrayals of the Intelligence Mission”. He describes himself as the only FBI agent “banned from working in the investigation” of 9-11. Outspoken John O’Neil Dies on 9/11 Former FBI Deputy Director John O’Neill, who wanted to investigate the terrorists that were planning to blow up the trade towers on 9/11, was prevented from doing so by George W. Bush. Disgusted and angry that the Bush administration was obstructing justice [the media reported] he resigned. John O’Neill was given a new career as Director of Security at the Trade Towers in New York City. He died his first day on the job. Robert G. Wright, Jr., is facing retaliatory treatment from FBI management for telling the truth about dereliction of duty and negligence within the FBI and specifically, the bureau’s International Terrorism Unit. The FBI informed Wright that he is now the subject of an Office of Professional Responsibility investigation. Little is publicly known about John O’Neil, the former deputy FBI director who chased the tail of Bin Laden for years. Primarily because it nearly justifies that the US government had some sort of prior knowledge before 9-11. O’Neil was possibly the FBI’s leading expert on Bin Laden and Al Qaeda but faced obstacles that he couldn’t overcome. He was obsessed with tracking and finding Bin Laden but every time he got close to him, O’Neil’s bosses never allowed him to proceed, pulling him away from case after case. He felt that they were trying to hide things from him because they wouldn’t allow him to do his job no matter how close he got. Whistleblower Complains of FBI Obstruction: A government watchdog and FBI counterterrorism agent are accusing the agency of prohibiting him from conducting his probe into terror financing activities because he complained about obstruction by bureau superiors. After so many road-blocks, John O’Neil was forced to quit the FBI soon after. O’Neil says, “The main obstacles to investigating Islamic terrorism were U.S. oil corporate interests, and the role played by Saudi Arabia in it.” 2 weeks later O’Neil got a new job as head of security at the World Trade Center. And according to a few sources, O’Neil leaked the secret Executive Order W199IWF-213589 signed by Bush, to the BBC press before he died. The BCC says that this executive order was signed to prevent FBI agents from further investigating the Bin Laden family. Sibel Edmonds Edmonds gained notoriety following her firing from her position as a language specialist at the FBI’s Washington Field Office in March, 2002, after she accused a colleague of covering up illicit activity involving foreign nationals, alleging serious acts of security breaches, cover-ups, and intentional block- ing of intelligence which, she contended, presented a danger to the United States’ security. Her later claims have gained her awards and fame as a whistleblower. Over four years ago, more than four months prior to the September 11 terrorist attacks, in April 2001, a long-term FBI informant/asset who had been providing the bureau with information since 1990, provided two FBI agents and a translator with specific information regarding a terrorist attack being planned by Osama Bin Laden. This asset/ informant was previously a high- level intelligence officer in Iran in charge of intelligence from Afghanistan. Through his contacts in “If they were to do real investigations we would see several significant high level criminal prosecutions in this country. And that is something that they are not going to let out. And, believe me; they will do everything to cover this up.” –Sibel Edmonds Afghanistan he received information that: 1) Osama Bin Laden was planning a major terrorist attack in the United States targeting 4-5 major cities, 2) the attack was going to involve airplanes, 3) some of the individuals in charge of carrying out this attack were already in place in the United States, 4) the attack was going to be carried out soon, in a few months. The agents who received this information reported it to their superior, Special Agent in Charge of Counterterrorism, Thomas Frields, at the FBI Washington Field Office, by filing “302” forms, and the translator, Mr. Behrooz Sarshar, translated and documented this information. No action was taken by the Special Agent in Charge, Thomas Frields, and after 9/11 the agents and the translators were told to ‘keep quiet’ regarding this issue. For almost four years since September 11, officials refused to admit to having specific information regarding the terrorists’ plans to attack the United States. The Phoenix Memo, received months prior to the 9/11 attacks, specifically warned FBI HQ of pilot training and their possible link to terrorist activities against the United States. Four months prior to the terrorist attacks the Iranian asset provided the FBI with specific information regarding the ‘use of airplanes’, ‘major US cities as targets’, and ‘Osama Bin Laden issuing the order. ’ Coleen Rowley likewise reported that specific information had been provided to FBI HQ. All this information went to the same place: FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC, and the FBI Washington Field Office, in Washington DC. Justin Raiundo writes: “The Times article then notes something that I reported 18 months ago. Immediately after 911, the FBI arrested a bunch of people suspected of being involved with the attacks – including four associates of key targets of FBI’s counterintelligence operations. Sibel heard the targets tell Marc Grossman: ‘We need to get them out of the U.S. because we can’t afford for them to spill the beans.’ Grossman duly facilitated their release from jail and the suspects immediately left the country without further investigation or interrogation. “Let me repeat that for emphasis: The #3 guy at the State Dept. facilitated the immediate release of 911 suspects at the request of targets of the FBI’s investigation.” FBI counsel Colleen Rowley When FBI counsel Colleen Rowley dropped her bombshell, a now-famous letter to the director, detailing how bureau higher-ups thwarted attempts to investigate accused 20th hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui, before the September 11 attacks, she set off a firestorm. FBI Agents Probing Terror Links Say They Were Told, ‘Let Sleeping Dogs Lie’ In a dramatic interview with ABCNEWS, FBI special agents and partners Robert Wright and John Vincent say they were called off criminal investigations of suspected terrorists tied to the deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. U.S. officials say al Qaeda was responsible for the embassy attacks and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States. “September the 11th is a direct result of the incompetence of the FBI’s International Terrorism Unit. No doubt about that. Absolutely no doubt about that,” Wright said. “You can’t know the things I know and not go public.” Questionable ties Was it an ‘intelligence failure’ to give red carpet treatment to the ‘money man’ behind the 9-11 terrorists, or was it simply ‘routine’? On the morning of September 11, Pakistan’s Chief Spy General Mahmoud Ahmad, the alleged “money-man” behind the 9-11 hijackers, was at a breakfast meeting on Capitol Hill hosted by Senator Bob Graham and Rep. Porter Goss, the chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence committees. Chairman Kean’s Link To bin Laden’s Brother-in-law April 1st 2004, Kean may yet have to explain why his oil company board of directors continued to maintain a corporate relationship with an oil company backed by Osama bin Laden’s brother-in-law, who was reported to be a past financial benefactor of George W. Bush. A broad range of data and sources indicate the United States has planned for war in Asia long before 9/11. The beneficiaries and proponents of such military campaigns include U.S. oil corporations, the interests of which are well-represented in Bush II. Bush Senior Met With Bin Laden’s Brother on 9/11 George W. Bush’s father was meeting with Osama bin Laden’s brother, Shafig bin Laden, in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Washington, on the morning of 9/11. ‘US ignored its own agency’s reports on ISI backing Al Qaeda’: America’s Defence Intelligence Agency was aware that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was sponsoring the Taliban and Al Qaeda, but the Bush Administration chose to ignore its findings, a former top Indian intelligence officer has said. Bush and Atta Visit Same Resort in the Hours Leading to 9-11: Just three nights before President George W Bush arrived at the swank Colony Resort on Longboat Key on the evening of Sept 10, 2001, Mohamed Atta was staying at a slightly-less tony hotel just two miles down the beach. MOHAMED ATTA WORKED FOR ELITE U.S.—GERMAN GOVERNMENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM: For at least four years while living in Hamburg during the 1990’s terrorist ringleader Mohamed Atta was part of a ‘joint venture’ between the U.S. and German Governments. Saudis paid Bin Laden £200m: SENIOR members of the Saudi royal family paid at least £200m to Osama Bin Laden’s terror group and the Taliban in exchange for an agreement that his forces would not attack targets in Saudi Arabia, according to court documents. Osama Bin Laden CIA met Bin Laden in July: Le Figaro today claimed that a CIA agent met Osama bin Laden in a Gulf hospital as recently as last July and received “precise information” about an imminent attack on the US. According to the French daily, the agent met Bin Laden while he was being treated at the American Hospital in Dubai for a kidney infection. The agent was subsequently recalled to Washington. Report: bin Laden treated at US hospital: A CIA agent allegedly met with suspected terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden in July, while the Saudi underwent treatment for kidney problems at an American hospital in Dubai, France’s Le Figaro newspaper reported Wednesday. Failed intelligence German trial hears how Iranian agent warned US of impending al-Qaida attack: London Guardian - 01/24/04 The United States was warned of impending September 11 terrorist attacks by an Iranian spy, but ignored him, German secret service agents testified yesterday in the trial of an alleged al-Qaida terrorist. MI6 warned US of Al-Qaeda attacks: MI6 warned the American intelligence services about a plot to hijack aircraft and crash them into buildings two years before the September 11 attacks. Britain’s foreign intelligence service MI6 warned the United States about terrorist plans specifically to use civilian planes in “unconventional ways” two years before the September 11 strikes, according to a newspaper report. SENATE BIG REVEALS MORE 9/11 WARNINGS: The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said yesterday he’s uncovered new pre-9/11 warnings from a “variety of agencies.” U.S. Ignored Warnings From French: A key point in unraveling why the FBI failed to follow up leads on Al Qaeda terrorism now centers on the Bureau’s contemptuously brushing aside warnings from French intelligence a few days before 9-11. Britain warned US: Britain warned US to expect September 11 al-Qaeda hijackings: Britain gave President Bush a categorical warning to expect multiple airline hijackings by the al-Qaeda network a month before the September 11 attacks which killed nearly 3000 people and triggered the international war against terrorism. US AUTHORITIES WERE WARNED ABOUT THE TERRORIST ACTS. EVEN BY ARABS: In the case of 11 September, some details are appearing. According to reports of world mass media, one conclusion could be made: US authorities and special services were much better informed about the terrorist acts being prepared, than they try now to present it. Kuwait Al-Kabas reported that Jordan and Moroccan special services gave CIA notice of Al-Qaida preparing an operation under code name Great Wedding. Last summer, Jordan secret service intercepted several Al-Qaida reports about Great Wedding operation with aircraft. Jordan side reported about these data to CIA representative in US embassy in Amman. While Moroccan intelligence managed to inculcate its secret agent under name Hasan Dabu in a secret Al-Kaida cell in the US. The agent reported about preparing a series of terrorist acts in different US cities for summer-autumn of 2001. Bulletins warned airports in ‘98: The Federal Aviation Administration warned the nation’s airports and airlines in late 1998 about a possible terrorist hijacking ‘’at a metropolitan airport in the Eastern United States’’ and urged a ‘’high degree of vigilance’’ against threats to US civil aviation from Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network. The Federal Aviation Administration told airlines more than three years ago to be on a “high degree of alertness” against possible hijackings by followers of Osama bin Laden, a government source said Sunday. 1999 Report Warned of Suicide Hijack: Exactly two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, a federal report warned the executive branch that Osama bin Laden’s terrorists might hijack an airliner and dive bomb it into the Pentagon or other government building. Egypt Leader Says He Warned America: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak says he warned the United States that ``something would happen’’ 12 days before the Sept. 11 terror attacks on New York and Washington. Even the Taleban ‘warned US of attack’ An aide to the former Taleban foreign minister, Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil, has revealed that he was sent to warn American diplomats and the United Nations that Osama bin Laden was due to launch a huge attack on American soil. PENTAGON WAS PREPARING FOR CRASH SCENARIO IN NOVEMBER 2000: Nov. 3, 2000 — The fire and smoke from the downed passenger aircraft billows from the Pentagon courtyard. Defense Protective Services Police seal the crash sight. Army medics, nurses and doctors scramble to organize aid. An Arlington Fire Department chief dispatches his equipment to the affected areas. Don Abbott, of Command Emergency Response Training, walks over to the Pentagon and extinguishes the flames. The Pentagon was a model and the “plane crash” was a simulated one. “This is important so that we’re better prepared,” Brown said. “This is to work out the bugs. Hopefully it will never happen, but this way we’re prepared.” Instant Messages To Israel Warned Of WTC Attack: Officials at instant-messaging firm Odigo confirmed today that two employees received text messages warning of an attack on the World Trade Center two hours before terrorists crashed planes into the New York landmarks. Egyptian Intellectual: Former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu Planned 9/11: October 6 2004, The following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian intellectual Hassan Al-Bana: Al-Bana: This is a book written by Benjamin Netanyahu on the uprooting of terrorism. He talks about attacking the Twin Towers, He talks about attacking the US National Security Council, and about attacking the UN. Take, for example, the Twin Towers operation. Such an operation doesn’t require placing a car bomb under the two towers but placing small nuclear bombs and detonating them. The scenarios were ready. This scenario was prepared by the Jews at the Jonathan Institute. Interviewer: What scenario are you talking about? Dr. Hasan Al-Bana: The scenario of bombing (the WTC). I’m talking now about the bombing scenario and how it was a planned operation, and not an act of revenge. He had to find an excuse; a reason for intervention. Interviewer: Dr. Hasan, you talk of the perpetrator. Are you saying there was an Israeli plan ready for operation? Dr/ Hasan Al-Bana: The scenario was prepared by Israel and the US. (The Jonathan Institute) is situated in Jerusalem and it has branches all over the world, When he talks about scenarios of destroying the US from within, to drag the US to fight what has been known worldwide as “terrorism” - this isn’t a passing event. It is a practice that has accompanied the Jewish existence throughout the world. They became allies with the Romans against the Persians and when they were taken into captivity in the Babylonian exile, they became allies with any power that arose. They became allies with the Muslim nation, at a one point. Later on, in Europe, they became allies with Britain and came to the region, to the State of Israel. After all this they became allies with the US. Henry Ford and George Bush attended the Jonathan Conference in 1984. They agreed with Netanyahu on the scenario for the bombing of the Twin Towers. When Netanyahu was asked how a force can be mobilized… He said: “In America you have religious factions who oppose abortions in hospitals. This religious sentiment can be exploited and channeled into these kinds of operations.” This all exists (in writing). Anybody who read Uprooting Terrorism (sic.) and many other American books (would understand). Moreover, there is no such thing as a conspiracy. What conspiracy? George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr. are the only American presidents to control the CIA. George Bush Jr. declared that the Twin Towers operation would remain completely secret. NORAD had drills of jets as weapons: April 18 2004, In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties. U.S. warned in 1995 of plot to hijack planes, attack buildings: The FBI was warned six years ago of a terrorist plot to hijack commercial planes and slam them into the Pentagon, the CIA headquarters and other buildings, Philippine investigators told CNN. reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba also known as operation Northwoods. F.A.A. Official Scrapped Tape of 9/11 Controllers’ Statements: NY Times May 6 2004, At least six air traffic controllers who dealt with two of the hijacked airliners on Sept. 11, 2001, made a tape recording that day describing the events, but the tape was destroyed by a supervisor without anyone making a transcript or even listening to it, the Transportation Department said today. Pearl Harbor: It might have been avoided: When pieced together and with the benefit of hindsight, we now see that there were many intelligence fragments that pointed to Japanese plans to attack Pearl Harbor. Condoleeza Rice Warned Willie Brown Not To Fly On 9-11: Rice, a former Chevron (San Francisco) employee and the assistant to the president for National Security Affairs, called a friend the day before 9/11 and told him to stay out of the air that week. On May 17, 2002, Pacifica Radio reported that Rice was the source of the call to Brown. Willie Brown, mayor of a major west coast city claimed just hours after 9-11 that he’d been warned not to fly the week of 9-11 by what he described as his ‘airport security.’ US Government plans to kill US citizens for war in past Operation Northwoods U.S. Military Drafted Plans to Terrorize U.S. Cities to Provoke War With Cuba: In the early 1960s, America’s top military leaders The McCollum Memo: The Smoking Gun of Pearl Harbor: The memo detailed an 8 step plan to provoke Japan into attacking the United States. President Roosevelt, over the course of 1941, implemented all 8 of the recommendations contained in the McCollum memo. Following the eighth provocation, Japan attacked. The public was told that it was a complete surprise, an “intelligence failure”, and America entered World War Two. Attorney General Ashcroft, the leading law enforcement officer of the land, is mounting a series of assaults on the United States Bill of Rights that deny a host of constitutional liberties to U.S. citizens, as well as preparation on many fronts for the imposition of martial law and the creation of internment camps for enemy citizens of Ashcroft’s choosing. This memo, which proves that the government of the United States desired to lure Japan into an attack, was declassified in 1994. It took fifty years for the truth about Pearl Harbor to be revealed. Russian Expert Who ‘Predicted’ Attacks Warns of New Ones: Who is behind these strikes? Koryagina claims the U.S. is painting a false picture. She said the operation was not the work of 19 terrorists but a larger group seeking to reshape the world. She claimed a group of extremely powerful private persons, with total assets of about $300 trillion, intends to legalize its power and to become the new world government. Dr. Tatyana Koryagina gained some credibility in the Russian media because of her prediction of an unusual catastrophe that was about to hit the U.S. She said it would take place on Aug. 19 and would collapse the U.S. economy. Koryagina is a senior research fellow in the Institute of Macroeconomic Researches subordinated to Russian Ministry of Economic Development (Minekonom). She is reportedly close to President Putin’s inner circle. New Strikes Will Come. In the near term, she said, “the powerful group” that masterminded the events of Sept. 11 will make new strikes against America of a financial nature and otherwise. She said they will “strike America in the back” and bring it down. She noted that Americans are consolidating around their government and preparing retaliatory strikes against the “terrorists.” However, Americans are trembling about spending. When they understand, after the upcoming new strikes, that their government can guarantee them nothing, they will panic -- causing a collapse of their financial system. Middle East designed to assist the Bosnian Muslims - some of the same groups that the Pentagon is now fighting in “the war against terrorism”. for talks with an international energy company that wants to construct a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan across Afghanistan to Pakistan. About her forecast of July 12, Dr. Koryagina said, “I did not make a serious mistake. Indeed, between August15 and 20, the dollar started trembling under the pressure of multiple bad news about the U.S. and world economy. And within weeks, the Manhattan skyscrapers fell down. As a result, a significant part of the world financial network was paralyzed. This strike was aimed at destabilization and destruction of America and [in domino fashion] all the countries making countless billions of dollars.” “Here, it will be more of a precision strike. It will be like the explosion of the Universe. And it will spread throughout all continents. Many governments will be swept away. The monetary and financial system of the world will change.” U.S. gave green light to terrorists in Bosnia: The Dutch government has released a report that details the alliance between the United States and the Islamic effort to help Bosnian Muslims. The report determined that the United States provided a green light to groups on the State Department list of terrorist organizations to operate in Bosnia. Secret memo reveals US plan to overthrow Taliban regime: The US government is pressing its European allies to agree to a military campaign to topple the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and replace it with an interim administration under United Nations auspices. US supports terrorists U.S. supported al-Qaeda cells during Balkan Wars: Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist network has been active in the Balkans for years, most recently helping Kosovo rebels battle for independence from Serbia with the financial and military backing of the United States and NATO. America used Islamists to arm the Bosnian Muslims: Now we have the full story of the secret alliance between the Pentagon and radical Islamist groups from the The oil pipeline Ambitious Afghan pipeline deal finally signed: Ashgabat, Turkmenistan — Pakistan and Turkmenistan signed an ambitious agreement with the Afghan president Friday to build a gas pipeline through war-ravaged Afghanistan. Oil rush: The September 11th atrocities sparked a coalition - a “crusade” said George Bush - for freedom and justice. But take a closer look. There’s an important subtext to the struggle over Afghanistan. OIL. Taleban in Texas for talks on gas pipeline: A senior delegation from the Taleban movement in Afghanistan is in the United States The Forging of ‘Pipelineistan’: The need for major oil companies to monetize billions in investments in Central Asian oil fields has been cited frequently by FTW as one of the major motivations for U.S. complicity in the attacks of last September. Bush held up plan to hit Bin Laden: The Bush administration sat on a Clinton-era plan to attack al-Qaida in Afghanistan for eight months because of political hostility to the outgoing president and competing priorities (such as securing the oil), it was reported yesterday. Past coincidences AUDIO: Exact 9/11 Attack Plan Drilled In 1976 March 21 2005, Our own U.S. Army devised a plan commissioned by Congress to bring down the WTC using commercial airliners and box cutters as weapons. Timothy McNiven, a 29-year U.S. Defense Department operative still under contract with the government explains not only did the Bush administration purposely ignore Al Q’aida in the months preceding the WTC attacks, but his military unit way back in 1976 devised a mock terrorist attack of the Twin Towers exactly like what occurred on 9/11. McNiven, who first went public in an affidavit included in a 9/11-related federal conspiracy (RICO) lawsuit filed against Bush and others in 2004, claims his unit was ordered to create the “perfect terrorist plan” using commercial airliners as weapons and the Twin Towers as their target. The publicized version of the study, commissioned by Congress, was to identify security lapses and submit corrective measures to lawmakers. However, McNiven claims the real purpose of the study was to brainstorm how to pull off the perfect terrorist attack using the exact same 9/11 scenario. The study, commissioned to C-Battery 2/81st Field Artillery, U.S. Army, stationed in Strassburg, Germany in 1976, specifically devised the scenario of the Twin Towers being leveled by Middle Eastern terrorists using commercial airliners and even plastic box cutters to bypass security. WTC Targeted On 1999 FEMA ‘Terror’ Book Cover: “Notice the date on Emergency Response to Terror - June 1999. After 9-11, we got a Flight 93 There was debris that landed as far as 8 miles from the crash site. How could that have happened? A sector of one engine weighing one ton was found 2,000 yards away. This was the single heaviest piece recovered from the crash, and the biggest, apart from a piece of fuselage the size of a dining-room table. The rest of the plane, consistent with an impact calculated to have occurred at 500mph, disintegrated into pieces no bigger than two inches long. Other remains of the plane were found two miles away near a town called Indian Lake. All of these facts, widely disseminated, were confirmed by the coroner Wally Miller. “... the air-traffic controllers in Cleveland who tracked the last minutes of Flight 93 on radar have been forbidden by the authorities to speak publicly about what they saw on their screens.” – CNN Transcripts – December 24, 2004 Evidence from a federal flight controller published a few days later in a newspaper in New Hampshire said: An F-16 had been “in hot pursuit” of the hijacked United jet and “must have seen the whole thing”. Also, there was one brief report on CBS television before the crash that two F-16 fighters were tailing Flight 93. Vice-President Dick Cheney acknowledged five days later that President Bush had authorised the Air Force pilots to shoot down hijacked commercial aircraft. The ‘official’ story of UA Flight 93, a Boeing 757 that was supposedly brought down in a field in Shanksville, PA by a small group of passenger ‘heroes’. “My instinct was to run toward it, to try to help” said Nina Lensbouer, Tim’s Lensbouer’s wife and a former volunteer firefighter. “But I got there and there was nothing, nothing there but charcoal. Instantly, it was charcoal.” When that plane hit the ground it began to go into the ground, but at the same time it began to collapse like an accordion until the explosion. The blast pushed some of the parts even farther into the ground, but blasting the parts above the ground out into the air. Hidden Tapes Why are family members and members of the press who were finally allowed to listen to the tape of the cockpit voice recorder NOT allowed to listen to its last three minutes? Why has that tape not been made public for the rest of us to hear and scrutinize? “And I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples’ heads on television to intimidate, to frighten -- indeed the word “terrorized” is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be.” – Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense Glen Cramer’s call The Associated Press news service reported on 11 September that eight minutes before the crash, a frantic male passenger called the 911 emergency number. He told the operator, named Glen Cramer, that he had locked himself inside one of the plane’s toilets. Cramer told the AP, in a report that was widely broadcast on 11 September, that the passenger had spoken for one minute. “We’re being hijacked, we’re being hijacked!” the man screamed down his mobile phone. “We confirmed that with him several times,” Cramer said, “and we asked him to repeat what he said. He was very distraught. He said he believed the plane was going down. He did hear some sort of an explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane, but he didn’t know where. And then we lost contact with him.” According to the information that has been made known, this was the last of the various phone calls made from the aeroplane. No more calls were received from the plane in the eight minutes that remained after the man in the toilet said that he had heard an explosion. Ultimately, what actually happened to Flight 93 - missile, bomb, passenger heroes, etc. - is not fundamentally significant to the question of government complicity in 9/11. Ultimately, what is most compelling, is the fact that the government lied. The airplane was allowed to fly around our airspace for almost two full hours after the onset of the attacks. Why? And why have we been told some absurd narrative of switched off transponders, lost aircraft, and military confusion? Why were we told the airplane crashed into a field because of the actions of a few ‘heroes’ when all available evidence points to a much simpler explanation? Why the lies? Why the convoluted fabrications? Why the lack of accountability? Clearly the truth about Flight 93 reveals something the government wants covered up. The task of pulling off those covers is ours. MYSTERY SECOND PLANE Eyewitness accounts of a “mystery plane” that flew low over the Flight 93 crash site shortly after impact was seen by Lee Purbaugh and at least a half a dozen named individuals who have reported seeing a second plane flying low and in erratic pat- terns, not much above treetop level, over the crash site within minutes of the United flight crashing. They describe the plane as a small, white jet with rear engines and no discernible markings. Purbaugh, who served three years in the US Navy, said he did not believe it was a military plane. The FBI has said, on the record, that the plane was a civilian business jet, a Falcon, that had been flying within 20 miles of Flight 93 and was asked by the authorities to descend from 37,000ft to 5,000ft to survey and transmit the co-ordinates of the crash site “for responding emergency crews”. The reason, as numerous people have observed, why this seems so implausible is that, first, by 10.06am on 11 September, all non-military aircraft in US airspace had received loud and clear orders more than half an hour earlier to land at the nearest airport; second, such was the density of 911 phone calls from people on the ground, in the Shanksville area, as to the location of the crash site that aerial co-ordinates would have been completely unnecessary; and, third, with F-16s supposedly in the vicinity, it seems extraordinarily unlikely that, at a time of tremendous national uncertainty when no one knew for sure whether there might be any more hijacked aircraft still in the sky, the military would ask a civilian aircraft that just happened to be in the area for help. Flight 93 Shootdown Pilot Identified “At precisely 0938 hours, an alarm was sounded at Langely Air Force Base, and those whom were on call, drinking coffee, were scrambled. Thus the 119th Fighter Wing was off for an intercept. They, the Happy Hooligans, a unit of 3 F-16 aircraft, were ordered to head toward Pennsylvania. At 0957 they spotted their target; After confirmation orders were received, A one Major Rick Gibney fired two sidewinder missiles at the aircraft and destroyed it in mid flight at precisely 0958; He was awarded a medal from the Governor one year later for his heroic actions. As well as Decorated by Congress on 9/13/2001. The Happy Hooligans were previously stationed in North Dakota, and moved to Langley Air Force base some months before 911 occured on a “Temporary assignment.” I apologize for having to print your name, but felt it neccessary for both the truth to come forward, and your own safety. –Col. Don de Grand-pre Col. Don de Grand-pre has written 3 books, “The trigger for the 911 activity was the imminent and unstoppable world-wide financial collapse which can only be prevented temporarily by a major war, perhaps to become known as World War III. To bring it off one more time, martial law will probably be imposed in the United States.” ( 2003The Rattler’s Revenge Barbarians Inside the Gates Book III) *Note he wrote this before the great financial crisis of 2007. “I can only say several of the highest level are members now of the Council on Foreign Relations. The important thing to consider is how many of them are sincere in their beliefs as enunciated by the CFR. I believe there are several sleepers and I believe I know some of them personally who are three and four-star generals. They are members of the CFR but “their heart belongs to Jesus,” if I can use that expression because they are true Semper Fidelity people. Some of them happen to be Marines. And I’m counting on them to do the right thing.” –Col.

US lets Afghan “terrorists” escape US ‘let Taleban men escape’: THE United States secretly approved rescue flights by Pakistan into Kunduz that let Taleban leaders and al-Qaeda fighters escape from the besieged northern Afghan city before its fall last year, New Yorker magazine reports today. HOW AMERICAN AIRLINES FAILED ON 9/11 COUNTERPUNCH APRIL 2006 On Flight 11, flight attendants Betty Ong and Amy Sweeney were on the phone to American Airlines ground personnel minutes after the hijacking began. Even though both the FAA and the airlines had been warned more than 50 times in the months preceding the attack, officials on the ground reacted with skepticism and annoyance to Betty Ong’s desperate call. Soldiers say U.S. let Taliban general go: U.S. troops say that the military mistakenly released one of the most-wanted Taliban leaders in Afghanistan in the summer based on faulty intelligence. Important mysterious deaths and assassinations to consider Hunter S Thompson Hunter Thompson was working on a WTC collapse story before his mysterious sudden death, he warned he’d be ‘suicided’. Murder of David Kelly Chief Weapons inspector Dr David Kelly was murdered to keep him from releasing information pertaining to the illegality of the Iraq war. Katherine Smith She had been implicated in a phony documents scheme said to be related to the September 11 hijackers. One day before she was due in court, she was incinerated in her car after having hit a utility pole. An investigation revealed that the crash was minor According to one account by people who have listened to all the tapes, American Airlines people were anxious to keep what was going on secret. An American Airlines tape, according to Gail Sheehy in the New York Observer, shows the managers were concerned about keeping things secret. People who listened to the tapes said there were statements including the following: “Keep it close,” “keep it quiet,” “Let’s keep this among ourselves.” So in those terrifying minutes before the first hit, two brave women on the phone inside Flight 11 were calmly telling American Airlines ground officials exactly what was happening. The airline’s reaction: Nothing. It did absolutely nothing. The managers could have picked up a phone and told all their pilots what was going on. Indeed they co told all pilots in the air what was happening. They could have called officials in New York. There is a real likelihood people at least could have evacuated the second tower. If someone on the ground had acted, Flight 93, sitting on the Newark airport tarmac, might well have avoided the hijack. . . The 911 Commission report states it clearly: “As news of the hijackings filtered through the FAA and the airlines, it does not seem to have occurred to their leadership that they needed to alert other aircraft in the air that they too might be at risk.” The 911 Commission found “no evidence… that American Airlines ever sent any cockpit warnings to its aircraft on 911.” . . . THE MISSING BLACK BOXES FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER COUNTERPUNCH DECEMBER 2005 One of the more puzzling mysteries of 9-11 is what ever happened to the flight recorders of the two planes that hit the World Trade Center towers. Now it appears that they may not be missing at all. Counterpunch has learned that the FBI has them. . . All four of the devices were recovered from the two planes that hit the Pentagon and that crashed in rural Pennsylvania. In the case of American Airlines Flight 77, which hit the Pentagon, the FBI reports that the flight data “FBI Director Robert Mueller has acknowledged that some of those behind last week’s terror attacks may have stolen the identification of other people, and, according to at least one security expert, it may have been “relatively easy” based on their level of sophistication.” –(CNN) September 21, 2001 recorder survived and had recoverable information, but the voice recorder was allegedly too damaged to provide any record. In the case of United Airlines Flight 93, which hit the ground at 500 mph in Pennsylvania, the situation was reversed: the voice recorder survived but the flight data box was allegedly damaged beyond recovery. But the FBI states, and also reported to the 9-11 Commission, that none of the recording devices from the two planes that hit the World Trade Center were ever recovered. There has always been some skepticism about this assertion, particularly as two N.Y. City firefighters, Mike Bellone and Nicholas De Masi, claimed in 2004 that they had found three of the four boxes, and that Federal agents took them and told the two men not to mention having found them. (The FBI denies the whole story.) Moreover, these devices are almost always located after crashes, even if not in useable condition (and the cleanup of the World Trade Center was meticulous, with even tiny bone fragments and bits of human tissue being discovered so that almost all the victims were ultimately identified). As Ted Lopatkiewicz, director of public affairs at the National Transportation Safety Agency which has the job of analyzing the boxes’ data, says, “It’s very unusual not to find a recorder after a crash, although it’s also very unusual to have jets flying into buildings.” Now there is stronger evidence that some- thing is amiss than simply the alleged nonrecovery of all four of those boxes. A source at the National Transportation Safety Board, the agency that has the task of deciphering the date from the black boxes retrieved from crash sites-including those that are being handled as crimes and fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI-says the boxes were in fact recovered and were analyzed by the NTSB. “Off the record, we had the boxes,” the source says. “You’d have to get the official word from the FBI as to where they are, but we worked on them here.”. . . For its part, the FBI is still denying every- flights that provided the motivation and justification for the nation’s “War on Terror” and for its two wars against Afghanistan and Iraq, but even the fact that it has the devices which could contain that information? . . . MI5 warned that bin Laden was planning attacks on morning of 9/11 The London Telegraph 05 Oct 2009 The author of the book, Defence of the Realm, has been given access to all of MI5’s files dating back to its foundation in October 1909 in the first authorised history of an intelligence service anywhere in the world. In a memo from July 6 2001, MI5 said the increase in the number of reports were “sufficient to conclude that UBL and those that share his agenda are currently well advanced in operational planning for a number of major attacks on western interests.” thing, though with curious bit of linguistic wiggle room. “To the best of my knowledge, the flight recording devices from the World Trade Center crashes were never recovered. At least we never had them,” says FBI spokesman Stephen Kodak. . . But MI5 had huge gaps in its knowledge about al-Qaeda and later on the morning of September 11, Sir Stephen Lander, then director general of MI5, told Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, that bin Laden was not head of a “coherent unified terrorist structure” according to a briefing note. Why would the main intelligence and law enforcement arm of the U.S. government want to hide from the public not just the available information about the two hijacked In December 1995, a memo to the heads of police Special Branches, said: “Suggestions in the press of a world-wide Islamic extremist network poised to launch terrorist attacks against the West are greatly exaggerated… The contact between Islamic extremists in various countries appears to be largely opportunistic at present and seems unlikely to result in the emergence of a potent transnational force.” THE STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF FIVE ISRAELIS ON SEPTEMBER 11 SUNDAY HERALD OCTOBER 2003 There was ruin and terror in Manhattan, but, over the Hudson River in New Jersey, a handful of men were dancing. As the World Trade Center burned and crumpled, the five men celebrated and filmed the worst atrocity ever committed on American soil as it played out before their eyes. Who do you think they were? Palestinians? Saudis? Iraqis, even? Al-Qaeda, surely? Wrong on all counts. They were Israelis; and at least two of them were Israeli intelligence agents, working for Mossad, the equivalent of MI5 or the CIA. The New York Times reported that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers prior to the attack on Tuesday, and were seen congratulating one another afterwards. New Jersey residents claimed “middle-eastern” men with a white van were videotaping the disaster with shouts of joy and mockery. Their discovery and arrest that morning is a matter of indisputable fact. To those who have investigated just what the Israelis were Below: Only known photograph of the “White van” the Israeli men drove Opposite: Local NJ news covering the Jewish conspirators up to that day, the case raises one dreadful possibility: that Israeli intelligence had been shadowing the al-Qaeda hijackers as they moved from the Middle East through Europe and into America where they trained as pilots and prepared to suicide-bomb the symbolic heart of the United States. And the motive? To bind America in blood and mutual suffering to the Israeli cause. After the attacks on New York and Washington, the former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked what the terrorist strikes would mean for US-Israeli relations. He said: “It’s very good.” Then he corrected himself, adding: “Well, it’s not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy [for Israel from Americans].” If Israel’s closest ally felt the collective pain of mass civilian deaths at the hands of terrorists, then Israel would have an unbreakable bond with the world’s only hyperpower and an effective free hand in dealing with the Palestinian terrorist. It’s not surprising that the New Jersey housewife who first spotted the five Israelis and their white van wants to preserve her anonymity. She’s insisted that she only be identified as Maria. A neighbor in her apartment building had called her just after the first strike on the Twin Towers. Maria grabbed a pair of binoculars and, like millions across the world, she watched the horror of the day unfold. As she gazed at the burning towers, she noticed a group of men kneeling on the roof of a white van in her parking lot. Here’s her recollection: “They seemed to be taking a Israeli Mossad agents Sivan & Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Schmuel, Oded Ellner. being interviewd on Jewish television about 9/11 “There was no question but that [the order to close down the investigation] came from the White House. It was immediately assumed at CIA headquarters that this basically was going to be a cover-up so that the Israelis would not be implicated in any way in 9/11. Bear in mind that this was a political issue, not a law enforcement or intelligence issue. If somebody says we don’t want the Israelis implicated in this - we know that they’ve been spying the hell out of us, we know that they possibly had information in advance of the attacks, but this would be a political nightmare to deal with.” –James Bamford former CIA counterterrorism officer movie. They were like happy, you know ... they didn’t look shocked to me. I thought it was strange.” Maria jotted down the van’s registration and called the police. The FBI was alerted and soon there was a statewide all points bulletin put out for the apprehension of the van and its occupants. The cops traced the number, establishing that it belonged to a company called Urban Moving (A Mossad front co.). used by the 19 hijackers who’d flown jetliners into the World Trade Center and Pentagon just hours before. There were also fresh pictures of the men standing with the smoldering wreckage of the Twin Towers in the background. One image showed a hand flicking a lighter in front of the devastated buildings, like a fan at a pop concert. According to ABC’s 20/20, when the van belonging to the cheering Israelis was By 4 pm on the afternoon of September 11, the van was spotted near New Jersey ‘s Giants stadium. A squad car pulled it over and inside were five men in their 20s. They were hustled out of the car with guns leveled at their heads and handcuffed. In the car was $4700 in cash, a couple of foreign passports and a pair of box cutters; the concealed Stanley Knife-type blades Former Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu Daniel Lewin member of the special Israeli commando unit, the Sayeret Matkal abord Flight 11 stopped by the police, the driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers:“We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.” The FBI seized and developed their photos, one of which shows Sivan Kurzberg flicking a cigarette lighter in front of the smouldering ruins in an apparently celebratory gesture. American security services overnight stopped a car bomb on the George Washington Bridge. The van, packed with explosives, was stopped on an approach ramp to the bridge. Authorities suspect the terrorists intended to blow up the main crossing between New Jersey and New York, Army Radio reported. – Jerusalem Post reported on September 12, 2001 The Jewish weekly The Forward reported that the FBI finally concluded that at least two of the detained Israelis were agents working for the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, and that Urban Moving Systems, the ostensible employer of the five Israelis, was a front operation. This was confirmed by two former CIA officers, and they noted that movers’ vans are a common intelligence cover. The Israelis were held in custody for 71 days before being quietly released. Several of the detainees discussed their experience in America on an Israeli talk show after their return home. Said one of the men, denying that they were laughing or happy on the morning of Sept. 11, “The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event.” They later appeared on an Israeli talk show and claimed to be “documenting the event”. CIA agent Robert Baer confirmed their cameras were set up BEFORE the first plane struck. On the day of the 9-11 attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was: “It’s very good…….Well, it’s not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)” Who leased the WTC only seven weeks before 9/11? Larry Silverstein -- Explains his reason for purchasing the towers as “I felt a compelling urge to own them.” Larry had breakfast in “Windows on the World” restaurant every single morning. On 9/11 he never showed up. Neither did his daughter who worked in building 7. Silverstein is a member of the Anti Defamation League and United Jewish Appeal. Silverstein quickly replaced some of the security and maintenance personnel before 9/11 occured. He is receiving billions of dollars in insurance money as a result of the 9-11 the attack. Who was on board flight 11? Daniel Lewin, an Israeli Jew, was confirmed to be a member of the special Israeli commando unit, the Sayeret Matkal, which specializes in “anti-hijack” takeovers and assassinations. Originally, Betty Ong pointed to his seat, 9B, as the one shooting people with a gun and leading the hijacking. It was later changed to him being shot, later revised to him being stabbed. Israeli ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Forewarned ZIM, an Israeli company, vacated its office (10,000 square feet) in the North WTC tower a few days before 9/11, breaking its lease. 49% of this company is owned by the Israeli government. The lease ran till the end of 2001, and the company lost $50,000 by breaking the lease. Later, FBI agent Michael Dick, who was investigating Israeli spying before and after 9/11 and looking into the suspicious move, was removed from his duties by the head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, Michael Chertoff (Jewish). Israeli espionage around 9/11 Shortly before 9/11, over 140 Israelis had been arrested for suspected espionage. Some of them were posing as Art students. These suspects targeted or penetrated Military bases, DEA, FBI, Secret Service, ATF, U.S. Customs, IRS, INS, EPA, Interior Dept., U.S. Marshal’s Service, various U.S. Attorneys Offices, Secret government offices Unlisted private homes of law enforcement/ intelligence officers. Most of the suspects served in military intelligence, electronic surveillance intercept and or explosive ordinance units. Dov Zakheim, member of Council on Foreign Relations, Undersecretary of Defense and Comptroller from 2001 to 2004, He served in various Department of Defense posts during the Reagan administration. Right: Richard Perle Dozens of Israelis were arrested in American malls kiosks selling toys, acting as a front for a spying operation. 60 detained suspects worked for the Israeli company AMDOCS which provides most directory assistance calls and almost call records and billings services for the U.S. by virtue of its contracts with the 25 largest telephone companies in the U.S. All alleged 9/11 hijackers had fake IDs. During a joint FBI-CIA operation against the lead patsy hijacker Mohammad Atta in Fort Lee, NJ in 2001, the operation was photographed by Israeli agents and thereby compromised. These Jews were providing cover for the future patsy hijacker teams. WHO QUICKLY SHIPPED OFF THE WTC METAL OVERSEAS? Alan D. Ratner’s Metals Management and the SIMS group. Ratner is Jewish. Ratner merged with the SIMS group and the Hugo Neu corporation, and they made a handsome profit. Ratner sold over 50,000 tons of crime scene evidence steel to a Chinese company at $120 per ton; Ratner had obtained them for $70 per ton. FAKE AL QAIDA VIDEOS COME FROM JEWISH SOURCES An “intel gathering” company called Site Intel Group which states its purpose is: “Studying the primary source propaganda, training manuals, and chatter of terrorists offers insight into terrorists and their activities that can not be obtained anywhere else. To fulfill this need, the SITE Intelligence Group offers its Monitoring Service, which provides numerous daily translations of terrorist propaganda and multimedia from primary source terrorist websites.” - SITE The director and founder of SITE Intel group is Rita Katz.

Philip Zelikow (Jewish Dual Citizen of Israel) RABBI DOV ZAKHEIM Co-author of the PNAC paper on rebuilding America’s defenses advocating the necessity of a Pearl Harbor-like incident to mobilize America. Served as Pentagon comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. Two large sums of money disappeared from the Pentagon under him. In the beginning $2.3 trillion was reported missing by Donald Rumsfeld (September 10, 2001) and later Zakheim was unable to account for another trillion dollars. Zakheim also had squads of American F-15s and F-16s sold as surplus to Israel at a fraction of their value. MICHAEL CHERTOFF Assistant attorney general for the criminal division of the Justice Department; later, Director of Homeland Security (Jewish Dual Citizen of Israel) RICHARD PERLE Chairman of Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board. He was expelled from Sen. Henry Jackson’s office in the 1970s after the NSA caught him passing highly classified documents to Israel. He also helped write “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm”. (See right) Perle also made shady plans to invest in oil interests in Iraq, in collaboration with Iraqi Kurdish leaders in northern Iraq. PAUL WOLFOWITZ Was Deputy Defense Secretary and a member of the Defense Policy Board in the Pentagon. He is a leading neoconservative. As Deputy Secretary of Defense, he was “a major architect of President Bush’s Iraq policy and ... its most hawkish advocate.” After serving two years, he resigned as president of the WORLD BANK GROUP “ending a protracted and tumultuous battle over his stewardship, sparked by a promotion he arranged for his companion. A CLEAN BREAK: A NEW STRATEGY FOR SECURING THE REALM A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm (commonly known as the “Clean Break” report) is a policy document that was prepared in 1996 by a study group led by Richard Perle for Benjamin Netanyahu, Mastermind Paul Wolfowitz who helped push the Iraq war and PNAC “The Project for the New American Century” with missile-defense advocacy.” United States foreign policy Brian Whitaker reported in a September 2002 article published in The Guardian that “With several of the Clean Break paper’s authors now holding key positions in Washington, the plan for Israel to transcend its foes by reshaping the Middle East looks a good deal more achievable today than it did in 1996. Americans may even be persuaded to give up their lives to achieve it.” the then Prime Minister of Israel. The report explained a new approach to solving Israel’s security problems in the Middle East with an emphasis on “Western values”. It has since been criticized for advocating an aggressive new policy. Their plan “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,” also signaled a radical departure from the peace-oriented policies of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated by a member of an extreme right-wing Israeli group.” The Blueprint for the new Bush policy had actually been drawn up five years earlier by three of his top national security advisors, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and David Wurmser who were working for conservative pro-Israel think tanks. James Bamford explains, “the centerpiece of the recommendations was the removal of Saddam Hussein as the first step in remaking the Middle East into a region friendly, instead of hostile, to Israel. The report was “a kind of US-Israeli neoconservative manifesto” according to journalist Jason Vest. In Vest’s analysis, the report proposed “a mini-cold war in the Middle East, advocating the use of proxy armies for regime changes, destabilization and containment. Indeed, it even goes so far as to articulate a way to advance right-wing Zionism by melding it The Israeli “Art Student” Spies Following the leaking of an internal memo circulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Office of Security Programs. The June 2001 memo, issued three months before the 9/11 attacks, reported that more than 120 young Israeli citizens, posing as art students and peddling cheap paintings, had been repeatedly - and seemingly inexplicably - attempting to penetrate DEA offices and other law enforcement and Defense Department offices across the country. The DEA report stated that the Israelis may have been engaged in “an organized intelligence gathering activity.” Israeli military intelligence officer “artists” living next to terrorists of 9/11 One “art student” was a former Israeli military intelligence officer named Hanan Serfaty, who rented two Hollywood apartments close to the mail drop and apartment of Mohammed Atta and four other hijackers. In at least six urban centers, suspected Israeli spies and 9/11 hijackers and/or al-Qaeda connected suspects lived and operated near one another, in some cases less than half a mile apart, for various periods during 2001 in the run-up to the attacks. Arrested and let go “Art student” Michal Gal, arrested by DEA investigators in Irving, Texas, in the spring of 2001, was released on a $10,000 cash bond posted by Ophir Baer, an employee of the Israeli telecommunications software company Amdocs Inc., which provides phone-billing technology to clients that include some of the largest phone companies in the United States as well as U.S. government agencies. Carl Cameron reported in a December 2001 series that was the first major exposé of allegations of 9/11-related Israeli espionage. “A highly placed investigator said there are ‘tie-ins’. But when asked for details, he flatly refused to describe them, saying, ‘evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It’s classified information.’” As with the New Jersey Israelis, the investigation into the Israeli “art students” appears to have been halted by orders from on high. The veteran CIA/NSA intelligence operative told me in 2002 that there was “a great press to discredit the story, discredit the connections, prevent [investigators] from “B-Thing” Israeli Members in their construction rigging and apparatus for the observation deck going any further. People were told to stand down. You name the agency, they were told to stand down”. The operative added, “People who were perceived to be gumshoes on [this matter] suddenly found themselves hammered from all different directions. The interest from the middle bureaucracy was not that there had been a security breach but that someone had bothered to investigate the breach. That was where the terror was”. Choking off the press coverage A former ABC News employee high up in the network newsroom told me that when ABC News ran its June 2002 exposé on the celebratory New Jersey Israelis, “Enormous pressure was brought to bear by pro- Israeli organizations”--and this pressure began months before the piece was even close to airing. The source said that ABC News colleagues wondered, “how they [the pro-Israel organizations] found out we were doing the story. Pro-Israeli people were calling the president of ABC News. Barbara Walters was getting bombarded by calls. The story was a hard sell but ABC News came through the management insulated [reporters] from the pressure”. What did Mossad know and tell the U.S.? the Israeli authorities knew enough to warn the U.S. government in the summer of 2001 that an attack was on the horizon. The British Sunday Telegraph reported on September 16, 2001, that two senior agents with the Mossad were dispatched to Washington in August 2001 “to alert the CIA and FBI to the existence of a cell of as many as 200 terrorists said to be preparing a big operation”. The Telegraph quoted a “senior Israeli security official” as saying the Mossad experts had “no specific information about what was being planned”. Still, the official told the Telegraph, the Mossad contacts had “linked the plot to Osama bin Laden”. Likewise, Die Zeit correspondent Oliver Schröm reported that on August 23, 2001, the Mossad “handed its American counterpart a list of names of terrorists who were staying in the U.S. and were presumably planning to launch an attack in the foreseeable future”. Fox News’ Carl Cameron, in May 2002, also reported warnings by Israel: “Based on its own intelligence, the Israeli government provided ‘general’ information to the United States in the second week of August that an al-Qaeda attack was imminent”. The U.S. government later claimed these warnings were not specific enough to allow any mitigating action to be taken. Mossad expert Gordon Thomas, author of Gideon’s Spies, says German intelligence sources told him that as late as August 2001 Israeli spies in the United States had made surveillance contacts with “known supporters of bin Laden in the U.S.A. It was those surveillance contacts that later raised the question: how much prior knowledge did Mossad have and at what stage?” Urban Moving Systems Remarkably, the Urban Moving Systems Israelis, when interrogated by the FBI, explained their motives for “celebration” on the New Jersey waterfront a celebration that consisted of cheering, smiling, shooting film with still and video cameras and, according to the FBI, “high- fiving” - in the Machiavellian light of geopolitics. “Their explanation of why they were happy”, FBI spokesman Margolin told me, “was that the United States would now have to commit itself to fighting [Middle East] terrorism, that Americans would have an understanding and empathy for Israel’s circumstances, and that the attacks were ultimately a good thing for Israel”. What is perhaps most damning is that the Israelis’ celebration on the New Jersey waterfront occurred in the first sixteen minutes after the initial crash, when no one was aware this was a terrorist attack. In other words, from the time the first plane hit the north tower, at 8:46 a.m., to the time the second plane hit the south tower, at 9:02 a.m., the overwhelming assumption of news outlets and government officials was that the plane’s impact was simply a terrible accident. It was only after the second plane hit that suspicions were aroused. Yet if the men were cheering for political reasons, as they reportedly told the FBI, they obviously believed they were witnessing a terrorist act, and not an accident. The B-Thing Connection The members of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council were invited to use the 91 and 92 floor in WTC Tower 1, as part of a residency program (World Views program) from 1997 to 2001. In this program, the Gelitin crew, according to the New York Times article and there were 14 art students Children’s reaction to September 11th 2001. who specifically shared the 91st floor together that knew and/or where involved in “The B Thing.” Let me make clear that this stunt specifically was performing a construction operation in the WTC that was illegal according to WTC Security and the New York Times Article which states that certain people would have needed to of been contacted to remove a window from a building in New York as to not violate building codes and such. No one was contacted to be there outside the members involved in the stunt itself. It was initially denied that the stunt even took place, according to the New York Times, “Cherrie Nanninga, the director of real estate for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which until recently ran the World Trade Center. Port Authority officials, shown a copy of ”The B-Thing” by a reporter, reacted with disbelief, then outrage. Willie Rodriguez, one of the janitors who worked at the WTC and helped save lives that day, was the last person pulled from the rubble and was even recognized by the president for his actions. Aside from experiencing basement and sub-level explosions on 9/11 before the 1st plane hit, he also stated that he did see the art students in the WTC. So why is all this information about an innocent art stunt so important, aside from the fact that these individuals had WTC construction passes in 2000 before releasing their book in August of 2001? Because according to the DEA report on the investigation into a separate story of art students in the country penetrating military bases, government agencies and so fourth as a part of a spy ring, Hanan Serfaty was arrested by DEA agents in connection to the Israeli spy ring. What makes him stand out, is that he was listed as being an art student who was apart of the World Views program, which was in the World Trade Center on floors 90 and 91 in the Lower Manhatten Cultural Council. Although he is not listed by Gelitin as a member of “The B-Thing,” the listing of the identities of the other 14 students who were on floor 91 at the time was never released to the public, neither was the total list of those involved in the stunt which numbers at a minimum of 6. It should be noted that 1 member of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council died on 9/11 while working in his studio on the 91st floor. His name appears on the list of those who were in the building when it came down. He was the only Israeli out of the 4000 who usually work there whom died. Hanan was an “;art student”; who was a former Israeli military intelligence officer who rented two Hollywood apartments close to the mail drop and apartment of Mohammed Atta and four other hijackers. Serfaty was moving large amounts of cash: he carried bank slips showing more than $100,000 deposited from December 2000 through the first quarter of 2001; other bank slips showed withdrawals for about $80,000 during the same period. Serfaty’s apartments, serving as crash pads for at least two other “;art students”;, were located at 4220 Sheridan Street and 701 South 21st Avenue. Lead hijacker Mohammed Atta’s mail drop was at 3389 Sheridan Street–approximately 2,700 feet from Serfaty’s Sheridan Street apartment. Both Atta and Marwan alShehhi, the suicide pilot on United Airlines Flight 175, which smashed into World Trade Center 2, lived in a rented apartment at 1818 Jackson Street, some 1,800 feet from Serfaty’s South 21st Avenue apartment. Motive behind Sept 11th 2001 Terrorist Attacks It all comes down to the strengthening of the American global supremacy by creating an excuse for obtaining a larger military presence in the Middle East where some 60 percent of the global oil reserves are located (PNAC-goal), as well as improvement of the geo-strategic position of Israel by eliminating its most important enemies (Iraq, Iran, Syria –> Clean Break-goal). The link with oil explains why people like Dick Cheney were on-board somebody who made his career in the oil business and perfectly understood that oil was becoming scarce in the near future (‘peak-oil’). So after the 11th Sept 2001 Terrorist Attacks United States of America declares A War On Terror upon the Whole World, using Terrorism as an excuse to cover the above goals, ambitions, objectives. The American people would not of went along with their plans unless a pretext – excuse was used to justify the coming Wars aboard. The Bush – Cheney administration created the illusion that the motherland America was under attack from this mythical – unseen, all knowing enemy “Al Qa`eda” and Bin Ladden which have a office on every street corner recruiting Jihad Muslims, War Protestors, 911 Truthers, War Activist etc to fight against motherland America and just want to attack them because they are jealous of their freedoms. The corrupt, incompetent, compliant, obedient media mostly Zionist Jewish controlled propagated even until today this utter crap, bullshit, rubbish, lies mythical Al Qa`eda is out to attack America. But the world’s people thanks to the Internet are awake to these lies and laugh at the utter crap the Americans sprout. 9/11 was a master plot, concocted by a handfull of Israelis and dual passport Americans and carried out by the resources of the Mossad as well as starting a war on “The People of America” with the Patriot act, Homeland Security, and evolving the world toward a New World Order indeed. Larry Silverstein leases a nearly worthless dinosaur WTC building complex (worthless due to the asbestos the buildings were stuffed with and needed to be cleaned up, the cost of which may have rivaled the value of the buildings themselves) weeks before 9/11, makes sure it is over insured against terrorist acts and hires an Israeli security firm which President Bush’s younger brother Marvin Bush is the CEO of. The interlocking relationship among boards of directors, CEOs and bankers is inherent in the system of monopoly capitalism. They, together with the owners of privately held companies, constitute a ruling class, which oversees the capitalist government and the current Bush administration. So all in all, the members of the top CEO’s of these companies are at full monopoly strength and control over the people under Bush’s cabinet. They are and do work together to get the jobs done. They own everything else the Federal Reserve doesn’t have.. and the top leaders of them are the owners of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve CEO’s are found to be major players in the CEO’s of major corporations. These CEO’s are becoming to powerful. Others note that substantial increases in the size and scope of the largest corporations have raised the economic value of skilled corporate leadership (Gabaix and Landier, 2006). However, critics have responded that increases in CEO pay may have been amplified by poor corporate governance, including the substantial influence that some CEOs appear to have had over their own pay (Bebchuk and Fried, 2003). Beyond the effects of technological change, the variety of economic forces grouped under the heading of “globalization” may also have been a factor in the rise in inequality, even as these forces have provided a major stimulus to economic growth and to living standards overall. That’s it. So smile. We’re almost there now =) Having been conditioned your entire lives, the way we are all conditioned our entire lives, to receive sound-bite answers to questions we have never had the critical ability to form in our minds, forecloses our ability to interrogate reality and draw conclusions from it. That is the function of the media. That is the function of the educational system you understand. It’s not to teach you to think critically, which is educational in value. It’s to teach you what to think. That’s indoctrination. That’s a rather different thing, to be indoctrinated than to be educated. We have this problem here in this population called “ignorance.” And some of this population actually is. But when you say the word “ignorant” it’s supposed to mean you didn’t have the information: “I didn’t know about it. I was ignorant of it.” No, that’s to be uninformed. And truly, there are a lot of people uninformed about a lot of things here. Uninformed is one thing. Ignorance is another. We’ve got an ignorant leadership. We’ve got an ignorant intelligentsia. Ignorant means to have the information right there in front of you and ignore it. To draw conclusions in the face of the evidence; to pretend that the evidence does not exist -- clear evidence of genocide and war crimes -- to pretend it’s something else. That’s ignorance. That’s close to being a synonym for duplicity. That is something very different than being uninformed. You have an obligation to become informed. Once informed, a person has an obligation to act upon the information, not to become an ignorant individual as a result. . . . At Nuremberg it was said that there was a complicity on the part of the German citizenry. The Germans, as a whole, as a group, were deemed guilty of what was done. . . . Their government had set itself on a track that it felt it did not have to be bound by. It rejected the rule of law. The citizenry, at that point, incurred not only a right but an obligation to do whatever it was that was necessary to ensure that their government did comply with the rule of law. That was their obligation. That’s the enforcement mechanism. That’s the “prevention” for international warfare: that the citizenry of each country do whatever it has to, as Malcolm X would have put it, by any means necessary, to ensure that their governments do not violate the rule of law in a manner that leads to the kinds of results that were observable in Europe during the Second World War. Or have been observable at every step in the course of U.S. history. . . . [You] do what’s necessary. The outlaw regime that is perpetrating the crime will ultimately make the determination of what is necessary by the nature of its resistance. How it resists will define for you. You don’t define for it. You are not going to morally persuade a criminal state structure, bent upon perpetrating genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, to do the right thing. You don’t speak truth to power. Power is not listening. Power knows better than you. You don’t speak truth to power. You speak truth, in the teeth of power. You speak truth to people. Today, making the facts about 9-11 accessible to all our human family is how we can reclaim our world and renew our hope for ourselves and each other. The misrepresentations, omissions, and deceptions described [in Broadening Our Perspectives of 11 September 2001] that have defined the Bush II agenda since 9-11 occurred, are summarized in the following list. * The 9-11 bombings were a crime against humanity of mass murder of civilians. Bush II intentionally chose to misrepresent these crimes as an act of war, rejecting legal remedies, and pursuing wars that they claim may never end, at least not in our lifetime. * The evidence, as presented to the world, claiming Osama bin Laden was responsible for the 9-11 bombings would not stand up in a court of law. * The real reason Bush II is sabotaging the International Criminal Court is that senior officials fear prosecution for their criminal conspiracy to conduct a war of aggression. * The 1/8/02 Bush II Nuclear Posture Review, ordering the Pentagon to draw up war plans for the first-use of nuclear weapons, constitutes a Nuremberg Crime against Peace by “planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances.” * Since 1991, a World Trade Center’s worth of Iraqi children have died every month as a direct result of U.S. policies. Bush II only mentions the loss of American lives on the single day of 9-11-01. * The United States has rejected a legally-binding system of United Nations inspections of suspected U.S. biological weapons facilities while at the same time accusing other countries -- including Iraq -- of developing biological weapons. Simultaneously, the United States armed forces, in direct violation of the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, is actively pushing for offensive biological weapons development, despite the fact such activity is illegal and subject to federal criminal and civil penalties. * The October 2001 “USA PATRIOT Act” is turning the U.S. into a permanent police state. It vastly expands the structures of government secrecy and surveillance, utterly relinquishes any semblance of due process, categorically violates the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments, and unacceptably mixes aspects of criminal investigations with aspects of immigration and foreign intelligence laws, while it simultaneously extinguishes the accountability of elected and non-elected government officials. * The creation of the Department of Homeland Security, representing the biggest government reorganization since the establishment of the Department of Defense in the 1940s, will further erode if not overturn the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which has kept the U.S. military out of local law enforcement for more than a century. * Attorney General Ashcroft, the leading law enforcement officer of the land, is mounting a series of assaults on the United States Bill of Rights that deny a host of constitutional liberties to U.S. citizens, as well as preparation on many fronts for the imposition of martial law and the creation of internment camps for enemy citizens of Ashcroft’s choosing. * Bush II’s war on terrorism is founded on political deceptions and deceits directed at the civilian population of the United States. These include omissions that supposed enemies like Al Qaeda are categorized as U.S. intelligence assets and that the Islamic Brigades are a creation of the Central Intelligence Agency. * A broad range of data and sources indicate the United States has planned for war in Asia long before 9/11. The beneficiaries and proponents of such military campaigns include U.S. oil corporations, the interests of which are well-represented in Bush II. * Given all indications from the four commercial airliner’s timeline sequences on 9-11, there was a stand down of defensive U.S. Air Force response. United States military and/or civilian incompetence or complicity is the only rational explanation for this situation. * Bush Jr. and Cheney have expressly asked Senate Majority Leader Daschle to limit any congressional investigation into 9-11 because, as Cheney said, “a review of what happened on September 11 would take resources and personnel away from the effort in the war on terrorism.”
