Barbara Olsen's phone call article excerpts
  • The little white lie was about Barbara Olson, a conservative commentator for CNN and wife of US Solicitor General Ted Olson. 
  • Now deceased, Mrs Olson is alleged to have twice called her husband from an American Airlines Flight 77 seat-telephone, before the aircraft slammed into the Pentagon
  • This unsubstantiated claim, reported by CNN remarkably quickly at 2.06 am EDT [0606 GMT] on September 12
  • Story was first seed to linking Muslims to attack
  • Why did he call CNN so soon?
  • No follow-up interview?
  • see Timeline, Bill St Clair. and NFU Timelines
  • Six months later: Ted Olson was allegedly interviewed by London Telegraph reporter Toby Harnden, with his exclusive story “She Asked Me How To Stop The Plane” appearing in that London newspaper on March 5,  thereafter renamed and syndicated around dozens of western countries as “Revenge Of The Spitfire”,  finally appearing in the West Australian newspaper on Saturday March 23, 2002. but the story has disappeared
  • The official story is that she made the call from the in-seat telephone, which would have been difficult.
  • But the phone requires a credit card of which Ted Olsen said she didn't have. but may have obtained from another passenger. 
  • Wikipedia:  Biography Olson was born Barbara Kay Bracher in Houston, Texas. (Her older sister, Toni Bracher-Lawrence, has been a member of the Houston City Council since 2004.) She graduated from Waltrip High School [1] and earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Saint Thomas in Houston and a Juris Doctor degree from Yeshiva University Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. In the early 1990s, she worked as an associate at the Washington, D.C.-based law firm of Wilmer Cutler & Pickering before marrying Theodore Olson in 1996. She co-founded the Independent Women's Forum with Rosalie Silberman. ... In the mid-1990s she was a chief investigator for the House Government Reform Committee - and later a staff lawyer for Senate Minority Whip Don Nickles - before branching out as a TV commentator and private lawyer. She was a frequent critic of the Clinton administration and wrote a book about First Lady Hillary Clinton, Hell to Pay: The Unfolding Story of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Olson was working on her second book, The Final Days: The Last, Desperate Abuses of Power by the Clinton White House at the time of her death. She was a resident of Great Falls, Virginia. ... She was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77 on her way to a taping of Politically Incorrect in Los Angeles (host Bill Maher left a panel seat vacant during the first week the show aired after the attacks), when it was flown into the Pentagon in the September 11, 2001 attacks. (She had been scheduled to take an earlier flight, but switched to that Flight 77 on that Tuesday, her husband's 61st birthday, in order to celebrate over dinner the night before.) She twice called her husband, then U.S. Solicitor General, from one of the phones in a passenger's seat, about 20 minutes before the plane hit the Pentagon, asking him "What can I do?".

  • The generator provides significant clues about what kind of aircraft flew into the building
  • There's no structure on a 757 that could have caused the damage pattern to the fence and generator.

Can you really believe that the 757 airliner could have only broken two second story windows as it (official story) crashed into the Pentagon?.  The reported speed was 400 mph.

Was the damage to the trailer caused by an engine of the Boeing 757?

 

The trailer was struck half way up its side thus leaving unexplained how the fence poles were bent over?  

Yellow line is top of tires, bottom of engine.  Blue line is normal height of trailer, and Red line is position of trailer before being struck.   Something simultaneously struck the trailer and flattened the fence poles.  Not the jet engine?

above: The bent over fence poles are key to understanding the type of attack aircraft.

Summary of Concepts to Consider 
Victims
  • Where's the airliner? There's no passenger jet  in the CNN / Pentagon  surveillance tape, and only a few shiny, clean, isolated aircraft parts in Navy photos of the attack..  The notion and eyewitness reports that the jet  'vaporized' is inconsistent with Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) victim identification reports.  64 passengers, 
  • Titan Systems reported 'full body scans of the victims, but this is inconsistent with fact that no aircraft wreckage is found.  If bodies were intact then airline parts would have also survived.  If the aircraft parts were 'pulverized' by the building then so to would the bodies.
  • Conflicting accounts:  According to AFIP, (Armed Forces Institute of Pathology) all but 5 of the 189 victims were identified.  But, this point is arguable considering Titan Systems report  (...in a steep dive...disappearing behind a tree line...going 400 mph....fully loaded with fuel...) .see conflicts between Titan Systems / After-Action Report and ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) report. (the plane did not vaporize).
  • CNN passenger and crew list (no Arab names)
  • 911 Commission completely ignores the 'no Arab names' issue.  It just assumes there were Muslim hijackers.  How can this be reconciled and shouldn't the 911 Commission have looked at it.
  • It's virtually impossible that a Pentagon surveillance system could have missed photographing a large passenger airliner only a few hundred feet from  its cameras.  The surveillance images given to CNN are a comical amateurish doctoring of evidence,  The tapes do show what appears to be a tail structure and exhaust from a small jet or missile.  The American Society of Civil Engineers identifies these structures as indications of the attack aircraft
  • No Arab names on the Flight 77 passenger list. but Titan Systems reports 5 hijackers on the flight.  
  • And the FBI gave the American Society of Civil Engineers very detailed information about the individual identities of the hijackers, crew and passengers.  They they include the hijackers in a list of:  'Front-of-aircraft passenger fatalities'.
  • No fatalities were found on the second floor (ASCE)
  • Links between Flight 77, Pentagon and Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse, and Titan Systems International?
  • Search Flight 77 of the Bureau of Transportation Statistics for airline flight information.
  • Pentagon Memorial
  • Rumsfeld  quote: "and I saw people on the grass, and we just, we tried to put them in stretchers and then move them out across the grass towards the road and lifted them over a jersey wall so the people on that side could stick them into the ambulances.   (no mention of this in the 9/11 Commission report.) and see page 2

Attack Aircraft      alphabetic index
  • It is impossible for the surveillance system to have missed the aircraft.  Why is the Pentagon not releasing the tapes? 
  • The Commission claimed that Vice President Cheney did not arrive in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center until 9:58. That claim was contradicted by the testimony of Norman Mineta, Secretary of Transportation, who arrived at the PEOC around 9:20 where shortly thereafter he witnessed Cheney confirm an order that is most logically interpreted as an order not to shoot down an incoming object shortly before the Pentagon was struck. Richard Clarke's account in his book, "Against All Enemies," corroborates Mineta's timeline, which was evidently so threatening to the official story that Mineta's testimony was deleted from the 9/11 Commission video archives. Pakistan Daily
  • FBI confiscated tapes of nearby hotel and gas station surveillance systems within minutes of the attack.  See Flight77.info for details on FOIA request for those tapes.  Why won't the FBI release these tapes?
  • There are photos of the heliport just minutes after the attack where no recognizable aircraft parts are seen,  Then subsequent photos within an hour of the attack show shiny clean aircraft parts near the left side of the heliport that is hundreds of feet  from the impact site.   see U.S. Navy photos.
  • Mysterious photo of men in business clothes carrying plane wreckage that appears in U.S. Navy photographs that still are present at the Navy's website.  And a study of the shadows and surroundings helps to place these men at the scene and within an hour of the attack.
  • Extraordinary and unbelievable skill required for hijackers to fly a passenger airliner parallel to the ground, clipping many light poles, striking at the first floor level, and  never actually hitting the ground before entering the building. 
  • Very little damage to the 2nd floor prior to section collapse.  Only two windows damaged on the second floor.  This is shown in government photos prior to the collapse of the section.  Collapse of section due to fire and not the impact of the attack aircraft.
  • See graphic of nose cone damage by a bird strike and then consider the numerous publications that claim the nose cone of the 757 penetrated three rings of the Pentagon.  
  • No apparent damage from two 15 ton jet engines that would have hit the building at 250-400 miles per hour.   Just a single small entry hole about the size of a garage door.  see AFCE report.
  • A phone call by Ted Olsen's wife from Flight 77 has drawn attention and doubt to it's authenticity.
  • A C-130 cargo plane was seen by many witnesses at the time of the attack.  
  • Dramatic, extraordinary transformation of Pentagon crash site in only one day....curious?  Investigation? Destroyed evidence.
  • Existence of War Games on 9/11 admitted to by General Myers.  
  • The tail of a 757 is nearly 45 ft. high, but the visible damage to the area where the tail presumably entered only reaches 25 ft.  ASCE report
  • The width of the opening caused by the attack aircraft is only half of what would be expected.  There appears to be no damage from the wing tips.  Compare to WTC wing tip damage

  • The section of the Pentagon struck held personnel of the Office of Naval Intelligence,  who were responsible for monitoring terrorist responses....???
  • The evidence far better fits a scenario where a smaller remote control aircraft entered the building at the first floor level.  Many eye witness accounts of a 'small commuter jet'.
  • No damage to the lawn underneath the flight path of the attack aircraft.
  • See shadow studies of the event to help analyze the event.  and see  Men in business clothes carrying aircraft wreckage to an isolated spot on the Pentagon lawn within one hour of attack.
  • A streak in the Pentagon lawn that is parallel to the flight path of the attack aircraft.  At both ends of the streak there are concrete pads, one seemingly freshly poured.   Is this streak related to a missile guidance system
  • Why were there temporary antenna systems on the roof of the Pentagon in the flight path of the attack aircraft.  .  In CNN / Pentagon surveillance tape, many see what they believe is the attack aircraft.  
  • If you agree with the idea that a remotely controlled aircraft attacked the Pentagon, then certain equipment is required.  These pages detail possible components of that system.
  • Inconsistencies:  Black Boxes were recovered according to information given to ASCE by the FBI?  But FBI says they were not recovered.
  • Hijackers identities? conflicts with No Arab names on Flight 77.  see FOIA request.
  • The landing gear system of a Boeing 757 weighs nearly 2 tons. (3800 lbs)  The landing gear mentioned by Titan Systems  reports and photos from FEMA show a much smaller landing gear.
  • Image manipulation:  Why were obviously doctored images of the Pentagon attack released to CNN and why are they manipulated?
  • Considering the angle of attack, the right wing tip would have struck the building the same time as the nose, but ASCE report says no evidence of outer third of right wing tip hitting building.  Comparisons to WTC show that there would have been evidence of damage by the wing tips.

  • Although the official 9/11 Commission Report (CR) said Vice President Richard Cheney did not arrive at the Presidential Emergency Operations Center(PEOC) under the White House until "shortly before 10 a.m." that tragic day, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta testified when he arrived in the room at 9:20 a.m. Cheney was already there. (CR published no testimony from Mineta.)  The timeline is important because if Cheney arrived at 10 a.m. it would have been about 20 minutes after the Pentagon was allegedly struck by a hijacked airplane at 9:38 a.m., too late for him to authorize the Air Force to shoot it down. Some 125 Pentagon employees perished in the attack.  go to page 22

  • The outer wall of the Pentagon is not extraordinarily thick or impenetrable.   There is evidence that portions of the facade  was faced with aluminum siding.  
  • The impact point was the first and only place that had been recently renovated with blast resistant windows and reinforcements.  Only two second story windows were broken by the initial attack.  (ASCE Report)
  • In studying the damage to the generator struck by the attack aircraft, no structure on the 757 could have created the damage seen.  And if the aircraft was tilted, as many sources have reported, the right landing gear would not have caused the fence pole damage
  • There was no effort to preserve a 'crime scene' whatsoever after the attack.  Within 24 hours there were hundreds of tents and other structures set up start reconstructing the damaged part of the building.  No effort to investigate.

  • The FBI was the sole source of information on 3 or 4 more high-jacked airplane threats after the initial attack.  How much did those threats contribute to the interruption of fire fighting efforts and the subsequent collapse of the Pentagon section?  The original fire was reported as being under control in 7 minutes.  National Fire Protection Association report.

Lear Video "That's BS ... could never happen in a million years"  WTC, Pentagon, Pennsylvania ... 911

FAA animation

OpEdNews Nov 2008  The straw that breaks the back of the official narrative of Flight 77 is the eyewitness testimony of Pentagon police officer Roosevelt Roberts. Although Officer Roberts recounted his story to The Library of Congress’ September 11, 2001 Documentary Project in November 2001,13 it took another six years for the PentaCon’s Citizen Investigation Team to discover him.  ...   Officer Roberts recounts being just steps from the Pentagon’s loading dock when he heard an explosion. He immediately ran to the center of the loading dock and looked up. That’s when he caught sight of a large commercial airliner, approximately one-hundred feet off the ground over the Pentagon’s south parking lot. The airliner was banking as it flew from his sight.   ...  Without knowing, Officer Roberts has confirmed the fly-over hypothesis that many in the 9/11 Truth Movement see as the only answer that fits the evidence. Roberts explains away this airliner as a second commercial airliner that was flying over the Pentagon reservation. However the actual eyewitnesses who were outside and had a clear field of view all attest that there was only one commercial airliner that flew anywhere near the Pentagon.

the 9/11 Commission Report
  • LetsRollForums  "The Navy Command Center was the Target of the Attack  “The US Authorities have tried to make believe that the damage caused to the Pentagon, on September 11, 2001 was caused by the crash of a hijacked Boeing airliner on the building. This lie was meant to hide the fact that a bombing attack was in fact carried out by a group of people who had authorized access to the Pentagon and that the target was not the Department of Defense in general but the new Navy Command Center.”   ...  Why might someone want to target the Naval Command Center (NCC)?  Most people know of the NORAD “all seeing” defensive network, with radar and satellite capabilities. But in their shadow, the NCC also was a very formable command and control facility, with some overlapping capacities. The site of the attack occurred on the first floor at the Naval Command Center portion of the Pentagon. The facility was a powerhouse of information gathering, command and control, and systems for monitoring “all warfare mission areas.”  ...  Starting in 1996 the Navy was implementing an upgrade; The Tactical Command System (TCS) upgrades the Navy’s Command Control, Computer and Intelligence (C3I) systems and processes C3I information for all warfare mission areas including planning, direction and reconstruction of missions for peacetime, wartime and times of crises. Included among these C3I systems are: the unified command centers of CINCPAC and CINCLANT, the Navy Command Center…[i]  ...  The only U.S. Navy Command Center survivor, Lieutenant Kevin Shaeffer, claimed: “Had the Command Center not been destroyed it surely would have been able to provide the highest levels of our Navy leadership with updates as to exactly what was occurring.”[ii]  ... If someone wanted to silence any evidence or witnesses that had privy knowledge of what happened on 9/11 — there were two choices; either they were with the perpetrators and cooperated, or they weren’t and had to be destroyed. This might have made the NCC a prime target if the Navy wasn’t in on the neocon’s Attack on America. However, there is no evidence that the Navy was directly involved.  The Office of Naval Intelligence had its offices in the Naval Command Center."
  • Security camera footage of the Pentagon attack, from the nearby Doubletree Hotel. [Source: Public domain]In mid-September 2006, the FBI releases never-before-seen footage from security cameras at a Citgo gas station near the Pentagon, recorded on the morning of 9/11. Agents seized the video just minutes after the attack on the Pentagon (see (After 9:37 a.m.) September 11, 2001). The FBI releases it in response to a Freedom of Information Act request and related lawsuit by the public interest group Judicial Watch. Many people believed the footage would show the strike on the Pentagon. However, the video, depicting views from the gas station’s six security cameras, shows that these cameras apparently did not capture it. The footage has been partially obscured by the FBI, though, to protect the privacy of individuals who were in the Citgo convenience store at the time it was recorded. [Citgo, 9/11/2001; Federal Bureau of Investigation, 9/13/2006 ; CNS News, 9/15/2006; Judicial Watch, 9/15/2006] Early in December, the FBI releases more security camera footage from the morning of 9/11, taken from atop the Doubletree Hotel in Arlington, Virginia, which it also seized after the attacks. This is also in response to the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch and others. The grainy video does not show American Airlines 77 in flight, but does show the explosion after the Pentagon was hit. According to Judicial Watch, this “seemingly contradicts a sworn FBI affidavit in a related case claiming that the Doubletree security recordings ‘did not show the impact of Flight 77 into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.’” [Doubletree Hotel, 9/11/2001; CNN, 12/2/2006; KWTX, 12/4/2006; Judicial Watch, 12/7/2006] In the weeks after 9/11, it was reported that FBI investigators confiscated footage of the impact on the Pentagon from a hotel nearby (see September 21, 2001). Whether the hotel referred to was the Doubletree is unknown. Judicial Watch is trying to obtain 9/11 footage from cameras at the Sheraton National Hotel, which is also near the Pentagon.

Online Journal: Following Zakheim and Pentagon trillions to Israel and 9-11 By Jerry Mazza Online Journal Associate Editor   July 31, 2006

Think of this as part two of Recherche du trillions perdu, my Online Journal article on Dov Zakheim, former Bush appointee as Pentagon Comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. At that time he was unable to explain the disappearance of $1 trillion dollars. Actually, nearly three years earlier, Donald Rumsfeld announced on September 10, 2001 that an audit discovered $2.3 trillion was also missing from the Pentagon books. That story, as I mentioned, was buried under 9-11’s rubble. The two sums disappeared on Zakheim’s watch.  

Yet on May 6, 2004, Zakheim took a lucrative position at Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the most prestigious strategy consulting firms in the world. One of its clients then was Blessed Relief, a charity said to be a front for Osama bin Laden. Booz, Allen & Hamilton (Woolsey, VP- Booz Allen)  then also worked closely with DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is the research arm of the Department of Defense. So the dark card was shifted to another part of the deck.

See Page 32 for in depth research

Judicial Inc’s bio of Dov (linked below) tells us Zakheim was/is a dual Israeli/American citizen and an ordained rabbi and had been tracking the halls of US government for 25 years, casting defense policy and influence on Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. He is, as I described him earlier, the bionic Zionist. In fact, Judicial Inc points out that most of Israel’s armaments were gotten thanks to him. Squads of US F-16 and F-15 were classified military surplus and sold to Israel at a fraction of their value.

Judicial Inc also points out that Israel, a country of 4.8 million Russian and Polish Jewish émigrés, flies on one of the biggest Air Forces in the world, thanks to Dov. Conflict of interest here? Depends on what you’re interested in. That is, in 2001 Dov was CEO of SPS International, part of System Planning Corporation, a defense contractor majoring in electronic warfare technologies, including remote-controlled aircraft systems, and the notorious Flight Termination System (FTS) technology that could hijack even a hijacked plane and land or crash it wherever.

More from the resume: Wikipedia points out that Zakheim is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and in 2000 a co-author of the Project for the New American Century’s position paper, Rebuilding America’s Defenses, advocating the necessity for a Pearl-Harbor-like incident to mobilize the country into war with its enemies, mostly Middle Eastern Muslim nations.

As to Dov’s hell-raiser lineage, Judicial Inc points out that Grandpa Zakheim was born in 1870, Julius Zakheim (Zhabinka), in the Ukraine, a Russian rabbi who married a relative of Karl Marx. He was a Menshevik/Bolshevik and played a leading role in the 1905 turmoil that paved the way for the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. The Bolshevik master plan called for the state of Israel, which was chosen for its proximity to the world's oil and an area of religious significance.

Dov’s Father, Rabbi Jacob I. Zakheim was born in 1910 and reared in Poland’s swarm of Zionist hard guys, read assassins and bombers. His Polish town, near Bilaystok, also brought us Yitzhak Shir, and family friends included Menachem Begin and Moshe Arens. Dov’s father was an active member of Betar, formed in 1923 in Riga, Latvia. Its goal was to control the Middle East (and its oil). It was known that the Jewish people needed their own country and they chose Palestine and claimed it a Jewish state “on both sides of the Jordan.”

Betar was in essence a terrorist organization formed because Zionists were sick of being chased from and arrested in country after country. They wanted both a place to escape and a base for their power. Betar joined forces with the Haganah, Irgun, and Stern gangs. With no prospect of a Jewish state in sight, they argued that armed struggle against the British was the only way. Since Britain occupied Palestine and was containing them they went on a blood feast of bombings that killed hundreds of British soldiers. The British pulled out, but the Zionists continue to maul the Arabs to this day.

For a concise history on the Formation of Israel in 1947, I suggest this link to theocracywatch.org.

For an interesting look at “The United States and the Recognition of Israel: A Chronology” compiled from Harry S. Truman and the Founding of Israel by Michael T. Benson, link above. For a rounded look at Israel, see Wikipedia.

Returning to Dov: he was born in Brooklyn in 1943 and attended exclusive Jewish schools, spent summers in Israel Zionist camps, which trained the Zionists of the future. As to Dov’s formal education, he graduated from Columbia University in 1970 and the University of Oxford in 1972. From 1973 to 75, he attended the London school of Jewish studies, described as a “Harry Potter” type cauldron; among the subjects Jewish supremacy, Advanced Bible, Talmud, Jewish Mysticism, Holocaust, Anglo-Judaica, and Zionism. After, he was ordained a Rabbi. From 1975 to 80, Zakheim was an adjunct professor at the National War College, Yeshiva University, Columbia University and Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut.

As he stepped into the Reagan administration, he talked them into funding development of the Lavi Fighter at a cost of $3 billion. The Lavi was a total flop and Israel dropped it, though it owed $450 million in contract fees that were cancelled. Israel, according to Judicial Inc, also created a story that China was eager to buy the Lavi. Zakheim convinced Reagan that China had to be sandbagged. Reagan gave Israel $500 million for its lost contracts. Reagan then threw in a wing of F-16’s as a bonus and sign of good will. Do we see a pattern here, personal, familial, career-wise, of over-the-top Israeli advocacy?

Again, during Zakheim’s tenure as Pentagon controller from May 4, 2001, to March 10, 2004, over $3 trillion dollars were unaccounted for. Additionally, military Information was jeopardized and military contractors billed the US for Israeli items: $50 million dollar fighter jets were rated as surplus and the list rolls on. As the scandal of the missing trillion dollars surfaced and Dov resigned, Israel was handed the finest fighter jets in the US inventory while 15 percent of US jets were grounded for lack of parts. In whose best interest was this?

But Dov is not alone. He is one of an elite group of Jewish Americans/Israelis who inter-marry and enter government. They and their Christian counterparts are called neocons and their sole purpose is directing US policy. Most of them are dual citizens and few serve in the US military. Think of Paul Wolfowitz, Elliot Abrams, Richard Perle, Ben Wattenberg, to mention a few. Whether their motivation is anger at the Muslim world, seen as a religious and territorial enemy, or a deep-rooted reaction to the Holocaust, the culmination of European anti-Semitism, their reactionary militarism becomes a world-threatening force unto itself. Hence our concern.

Dov and the World Trade Center

Perhaps not coincidentally in May 2001, when Dov served at the Pentagon, it was an SPS (his firm’s) subsidiary, Tridata Corporation, that oversaw the investigation of the first “terrorist” attack on the World Trade Center in 1993. This would have given them intimate knowledge of the security systems and structural blueprints of the World Trade Center. From the '90s through 2001, WTC Security was handled by Securacom, a Kuwait-American firm, on whose board Marvin Bush, the president’s brother, sat. After 9/11, Securacom was let go, changed its name to Stratosec, and was delisted from the Stock Exchange in 2002.

According to Conspiracy News.net writers Shadow and ‘Pax’ in Dov Zakheim and the 9/11 Conspiracy, (and I suggest you look at this link) “According to the SPC website (4), a recent customer at that time was Eglin AFB, located in Florida. Eglin is very near another Air Force base in Florida-MacDill AFB, where Dov Zakheim contracted to send at least 32 Boeing 767 aircraft, as part of the Boeing /Pentagon tanker lease agreement. (5)

”As the events of September 11, 2001 occurred, little was mentioned about these strange connections, and the possible motives and proximity of Dov Zakheim and his group. Since there was little physical evidence remaining after the events, investigators were left only with photographic and anecdotal evidence.

“There is a photograph of the Flight Termination System module, from their site.(5). Note it has a cylindrical shape, and is consistent with the size and shape of the object observed under the fuselage of flight 175.  “The Boeing lease deal involved the replacement of the aging KC-135 tanker fleet with these smaller, more efficient Boeing 767s that were to be leased by Dov Zakheim's group. The planes were to be refitted with refueling equipment, including lines and nozzle assemblies.”  (Remember both Flight 175, that hit the South Tower, and Flight 11, that hit the North Tower, were Boeing 767s. Flights 77 and 93 were 757s.)  

“In the enlargement of flight 175’s photo, we can clearly see a cylindrical object under the fuselage, and a structure that appears to be attached to the right underside of the rear fuselage section.  ”When seen in comparison, it is obvious that the plane approaching the Trade Center has both of these structures-the FTS module and the midair refueling equipment, as configured on the modified Boeing 767 tankers. Of particular interest is the long tube-like anomalous structure under the rear fuselage area of flight 175-this structure runs along the right rear bottom of the plane, as it also does on the Boeing 767 refueling tanker pictured.

”After considering this information, I [the author/s] am convinced that flight 175, as pictured on the news media and official reports, was in fact a refitted Boeing 767 tanker, with a Flight Termination System attached. Use of this system would also explain the expert handling of aircraft observed in both New York and Washington investigations, which has been officially credited to inexperienced flight school students.

“Since the refitted 767s were able to carry both passengers and a fuel load, as shown in this photo, it is likely that the plane designated Flight 175 was in fact a refitted 767 tanker, disguised as a conventional commercial passenger plane.

“As shown in this photo of a 767 being serviced, the FTS unit, when in position, would be small and unobtrusive enough to be fairly innocuous (at least to casual observers, such as passengers). The smallest circle indicates the size and position of the anomaly depicted in the photos of Flight 175. The larger circle, which is the size of the engine housing, shows the size of the anomaly in relation to the engine. Note the size and position of the open hatches on the engine housing, which would tend to discredit the widely held theory that the anomaly is an open hatch or cargo door.

“As the . . . diagram shows, all flights involved in the events traveled very near many military installations, and appear to have traveled in a manner suggesting guidance and possible transfer of the control of the planes among the bases.

”Since the evidence from the World Trade Center site was quickly removed, there is little concrete evidence of the involvement of Dov Zakheim, who has since left his position at the Pentagon. However, the proximity of Eglin AFB to MacDill AFB in Florida and Dov Zakheim's work via SPC contracts and the Pentagon leasing agreement on both of these installations, combined with SPC's access to World Trade Center structural and security information from their Tridata investigation in 1993, is highly suspicious. Considering his access to Boeing 767 tankers, remote control flight systems, and his published views in the PNAC document, it seems very likely he is in fact a key figure in the alleged terrorist attacks in New York City on September 11, 2001.”

EDITORIAL RESPONSE TO READERS' COMMENTS:

”In response to some of our readers who have questioned our premise that it was Rabbi Dov Zakheim who 'called for' the Pearl Harbor type of incident, we here at Conspiracy News Net acknowledge that the PNAC document was written by the likes of William Kristol and Donald Kagan, and therefore as the real brains behind the agenda they are the ones calling for it in a literal sense. However, we do stand by our assertion that the Rabbi called for it as well, insofar that he signed his name onto this document. If he signed it he agrees with it and therefore he is calling for it.

”Some of you have argued that we are singling out Rabbi Zakheim because he is Jewish, implying that we are pushing some sort of twisted anti-Semitic agenda while noting that he is not the only one who signed the PNAC document and therefore wondering why our article is about him and not the others. We do not mean to imply that the Rabbi acted alone, our article simply points out that Rabbi Zakheim had access to things like structural integrity, blueprints and any number of important facets of information about the WTC through his work with TRIDATA CORPORATION in the investigation of the bombing of the WTC in 1993.

“That he had access to REMOTE CONTROL Technology through his work at System Planning Corporation (SPC). That he had access to BOEING AIRCRAFT through a lease deal HE BROKERED while working at the Pentagon.  “ . . . Finally that he was part of a group of politically radical Straussian Neo-Conservatives, who, through their association with PNAC, called for restructuring of the Middle East, noting that a Pearl Harbor type of event MAY BE NEEDED to foster the frame of mind required for the American public to accept such a radical foreign policy agenda. In light of all this information we here at Conspiracy News Net stand by our statement that Mr. Zakheim not only called for the slamming of the WTC Towers on 9-11, but he activity took part in their demolition by providing the logistics necessary for such an attack to occur.”

Coda, a Bitter Frosting on the Cake     Whether or not you agree in whole or in part with these findings, here is an eye-opening article originally from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette by Milan Simonich. It is titled Army unit piecing together accounts of Pentagon attack, and from it comes this striking information in paragraph six . . ."One Army office in the Pentagon lost 34 of its 65 employees in the attack. 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.”

Apart from the question of whether it was F 77 that struck the Pentagon, it is more than ironic that accountants, bookkeepers and budgets analysts, the very people who could pick up the financial frauds were struck. Especially since the hit was directed supposedly at the Office of Naval Intelligence.  Nevertheless, Dov is busy at his Booz Allen job, involved in Strategic Services and who knows what other dark plans as we speak, even as the Middle East is under heavy fire once again from Israel and its fervid ally, the US government.

It did not collapse until 30 minutes after impact

The Pentagon is actually structurally weaker than the World Trade Center.  Only the outer walls were made with steel columns. The inner columns are just reinforced concrete.  The wings did not 'fold in' at the WTC, nor would they 'fold in' at the Pentagon.

The right engine of a 757 could not have hit the top half of the generator trailer and bent over the fence posts?If you return the trailer to its original position, you will see that the bent over fence posts were directly under the portion of the trailer that was struck

It is very curious and significant to identifying the attack aircraft by studying which fence posts were left standing and which were bent to the ground?

CBS claims to have 'eyewitnesses' that saw the plane hit the ground before hitting the Pentagon.  Really.  Why does CBS want to push this point?

Who were the 300 people 'looking for clues'?

How did Ari Fleischer know the plane was heading for the Whitehouse?  What was his motive?

 

From CBS Report, Sept 21, 2001  Primary Target

"(CBS) New radar evidence obtained by CBS News strongly suggests that the hijacked jetliner which crashed into the Pentagon hit its intended target.
Top government officials have suggested that American Airlines Flight 77 was originally headed for the White House and possibly circled the Capitol building. CBS News Transportation Correspondent Bob Orr reports that's not what the recorded flight path shows.
Eight minutes before the crash, at 9:30 a.m. EDT, radar tracked the plane as it closed to within 30 miles of Washington. Sources say the hijacked jet continued east at a high speed toward the city, but flew several miles south of the restricted airspace around the White House.
At 9:33 the plane crossed the Capitol Beltway and took aim on its military target. But the jet, flying at more than 400 mph, was too fast and too high when it neared the Pentagon at 9:35. The hijacker-pilots were then forced to execute a difficult high-speed descending turn.
Radar shows Flight 77 did a downward spiral, turning almost a complete circle and dropping the last 7,000 feet in two-and-a-half minutes.
The steep turn was so smooth, the sources say, it's clear there was no fight for control going on. And the complex maneuver suggests the hijackers had better flying skills than many investigators first believed.
The jetliner disappeared from radar at 9:37 and less than a minute later it clipped the tops of street lights and plowed into the Pentagon at 460 mph.
Some eyewitnesses believe the plane actually hit the ground at the base of the Pentagon first, and then skidded into the building. Investigators say that's a possibility, which if true, crash experts say may well have saved some lives.
At the White House Friday, spokesman Ari Fleischer saw it a different way.
"That is not the radar data that we have seen," Fleischer said, adding, "The plane was headed toward the White House."
Ten days after the hijacked airliner slammed into the Pentagon, leaving 189 people dead or missing including those on the plane, and gouging a giant smoky slice out of the world's biggest office building, some 300 people were looking for clues.
Officials said no survivors had been taken out of the building since the day of the crash and 104 people have been identified.
Rescue crews have turned over the operational control of the crash site to the FBI. The transfer clears the way for the criminal investigation to intensify.
Additional human remains are expected to be recovered during the criminal investigation at the site, which could last for a month.
The fire chief in Arlington County, Va., says all areas of the Pentagon (with the exception of the fourth- and fifth-floor corridors of the three outer rings) have been released to the Department of Defense.
The last civilian urban search-and-rescue team was leaving the site Friday.
Military engineers from the Army's Fort Belvoir completed their work Friday morning"

Obviously, the story on the right is total bunk.

It ignores the 30 tons of aircraft engines on a Boeing 757.

Excerpt:   "American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the western face of the Pentagon, penetrating the first and second floors, just north of the fourth corridor in Wedge 1, and traveled at a forty-five degree angle through the building’s three outer-most rings, E, D and C, before stopping just shy of the fifth corridor in Wedge 2. The nose of Flight 77 punched out into A-E Drive, a roadway between the B and C rings. The fireball and explosion that resulted upon impact was significant but was impeded in Wedge 1 by a sprinkler system that was recently installed as part of a building-wide renovation project first begun in 1993" article copy
The tail structure of a Boeing 757 is 44'6" high, or just at the bottom of the 4th floor of the Pentagon.   The area inside the yellow square is the entry point of the attack aircraft.

And the center line of the engines is just about level with the top of the first floor.  But only two adjacent windows were even broken on the second floor (ASCE report).  There's no way that a Boeing 757 crashed into this building.

No aircraft parts were near the heliport at the time of the attack.  One hour later an aircraft part was underneath the heliport window. 
  • No aircraft parts were seen outside of the Pentagon building other than the clean shiny parts at the heliport.
  • The heliport is hundreds of feet away from the impact area.
  

Above: Notice how far away from the impact site the heliport is and there doesn't appear to be any parts near the left window of the first floor of the heliport?

THE SEVEN MINUTE FIRE TOP  HOME
"The ARFF foam units knocked down the bulk of the fire in the first seven minutes after their arrival, said Captain Michael Defina, who was the shift commander that day at National"  full article copy: National Fire Protection Association.
. And from the After Action Report in Response to September 11: "Damage, although severe, was constrained in area and the fire was brought quickly under control."
IN FRONT OF GROUND ZERO
How the National ARFF crews found themselves in front of ground zero on September 11 started with a motor vehicle accident on the upper level of the airport's Terminal B.

While Captain Defina and his crews were watching the World Trade Center attacks on television at the ARFF station, they were dispatched to the motor vehicle accident. Although the airport, located in Arlington, Virginia, was not on alert, Captain Defina said he had a feeling Washington, D.C., could be another terrorist target.

"Normally, the shift commander doesn't respond to motor vehicle accidents,'' he said. "But something didn't sound right about it."

Captain Defina was the shift commander that day because the battalion chief was across the river in Washington for a security briefing on an upcoming meeting.  Defina responded to the vehicle accident in the battalion chief van, along with Rescue Engine 335, under the command of Captain John Durrer, and a medic unit.

Unknown to Captain Defina and his crews, hijacked American Airlines Flight 77, outbound from Washington Dulles International Airport with 64 people on board, was only minutes away from slamming at 0938 hours into the Pentagon, about 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) from National.

At the accident scene, where a driver with a diabetic reaction had struck several vehicles, the firefighters were working with their backs to the Pentagon.

"I heard a dull roar. The noise didn't belong with the noise you were used to hearing within the airport," Captain Defina said. "I turned and saw a smoke plume arise."

BioicAntBoy

  • Reagan National's Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighters  (ARFF) were one of the first responders.
  • Captain Defina, in command, "said he had a feeling.....Washington D.C. would be next"
  • Defina and crew heard impact of attack jet as they responded to private vehicle accident within 2-3 minutes of Pentagon
  • Ordered fire fighting units from Reagan International to the Pentagon (Foam Unit 331 and Serv-329)
  • Observed fire fighters from Fort Meyer (who manned heliport) trying to distinguish blaze of unit 161 near heliport
  • Arlington County's Engine and Truck 105 were seen and their crews were entering the Pentagon.
  • Reagan National crews called for more help
  • More foam trucks were ordered in from Dulles.
  • Defrina and crews went inside that afternoon, reported seeing nose gear.

  After Action Report:   BELOW 
Titan Corporation Report Quotation: "At 9:37 a.m., .........., saw a large American Airlines aircraft in a steep dive and on a collision course with the Pentagon.........

At 9:38 a.m., American Airlines Flight #77 crashed into the west side of the Pentagon, just beyond the heliport. It was traveling at a speed of about 400 miles per hour, accelerating with close to its full complement of fuel at the time of impact. 400 miles per hour, accelerating with close to its full complement of fuel at the time of impact.

The destruction caused by the attack was immediate and catastrophic. The 270,000 pounds of metal and jet fuel hurtling into the solid mass of the Pentagon is the equivalent in weight of a diesel train locomotive, except it is traveling at more than 400 miles per hour. More than 600,000 airframe bolts and rivets and 60 miles of wire were instantly transformed into white-hot shrapnel. The resulting impact, penetration, and burning fuel had catastrophic effects to the five floors and three rings in and around Pentagon Corridors 4 and 5. (See detailed graphics in Appendix 4.)

This act of evil cost the lives of 189 persons in the Pentagon attack, 184 innocent victims, and the 5 terrorist perpetrators of the criminal attack."

 Only two windows were damaged on the second floor.  This is completely inconsistent with the Titan Corporation report.  They describe the attack as a steep dive.

 

Where's the wreckage? Can you really believe "270,000 pounds of metal and jet fuel hurtling into the solid mass of the Pentagon is the equivalent in weight of a diesel train locomotive, except it is traveling at more than 400 miles per hour"   crashed into the building here? quotation from Titan Systems report see page 27

  • The WTC damage clearly shows the wingtip entry points.

Considering the angle of attack, the right wing tip would have struck the building nearly the same time as the nose cone?....but ASCE says no evidence right wing tip hit the building.

.The shadow on the gate stand is too long  
  • The shadows from the gate stand on CNN/ Pentagon surveillance tapes are created with graphics programs
  • They are too long, based on the time of day and comparison to other photographs made at the same time
Here is link to CNN images or print screen   or:Download CNN images

The shadow on the gate stand is too long  If its not already obvious that the CNN images are faked, here's more info to show they are.   The shadow on these men is only about 1 1/2 times their hiegth.

Evacuation details after arrival of FBI to attack scene

4.2.   Activation, Deployment and Initial On-Scene Response

Within minutes of the crash on Pentagon at 9:43 AM, Battalion Chief Robert Cornwall of the Arlington County Fire Department (ACFD), diverted from a call to a fire in nearby Rosslyn, VA, and rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, he assumed command of the Pentagon crash site. Assistant ACFD Chief James Schwartz arrived 5 to 10 minutes after the crash. Chief Schwartz assumed Incident Command (IC) from Chief Cornwall and assigned him to operational supervision of rescue and evacuation. Approximately 5 minutes after Chief Schwartz assumed IC, Chris Combs of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrived on scene and reported to Chief Schwartz (in accordance with the FRP). Chief Schwartz and Agent Combs had an established professional relationship from prior exercises and operations and quickly established a close working relationship. Incident Command therefore knew very rapidly (about 30 minutes into the response) about the missing jetliner, and the safety implications for the Pentagon rescue site (the fact that two jets had hit the WTC complex was not lost on the incident managers at the Pentagon site). In response, all staff was evacuated to an area under a highway bridge adjacent to the Pentagon, including any victims that could be moved (due to problems with radio penetration of the Pentagon structure, several fire fighters that were located inside the building and in the courtyard were not notified of this initial evacuation). All staff remained under the overpass for about 20 minutes, until it was determined that the threat had passed (FBI liaisons conveyed the information on the plane crash in Pennsylvania very quickly). Response personnel returned to their activities, and the ACFD remained in position and established the Incident Command Post (ICP) for the remainder of that day underneath the overpass. Security for the ICP was maintained using Arlington County SWAT team members. Other officers from the Arlington County Police Force played a supportive role, assuming charge of traffic around the Pentagon (in conjunction with Virginia State Police), ordering the closure of roads surrounding it, helping evacuate the Pentagon and helping the FBI and the other law enforcement agencies collect evidence and search for bodies. Fairfax motorcycle officers also reported, unrequested, outside Arlington police headquarters shortly

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 19107 \ March 1, 2005 Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 2204 \ March 1, 2005 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. THE TITAN CORPORATION, Civil Action No. 05-0411 (D.D.C.) (JR) (filed March 1, 2005) SEC SUES THE TITAN CORPORATION FOR PAYMENTS TO ELECTION CAMPAIGN OF BENIN PRESIDENT TITAN SETTLES AND AGREES TO PAY A TOTAL OF MORE THAN $28 MILLION TO SETTLE SEC ACTION AND RELATED CRIMINAL ACTION TITAN PLEADS GUILTY IN RELATED CRIMINAL ACTION BROUGHT BY THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, FRAUD SECTION SEC ALSO ISSUES REPORT OF INVESTIGATION TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON DISCLOSURE CONCERNING MATERIAL PROVISIONS IN MERGER AND OTHER CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the filing of a settled enforcement action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia charging The Titan Corporation ("Titan"), a San Diego, California-based military intelligence and communications company, with violating the anti-bribery, internal controls and books and records provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). Simultaneously with the filing of the Commission's complaint, and without admitting or denying its allegations, Titan consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining it from future violations of the FCPA and requiring it (i) to pay $15.479 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, (ii) to pay a $13 million penalty, which will be deemed satisfied by Titan's payment of criminal fines of that amount in parallel proceedings brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of California and the U.S. Department of Justice, Fraud Section, and (iii) to retain an independent consultant to review the company's FCPA compliance and procedures and to adopt and implement the consultant's recommendations.

The Commission's complaint alleges that, from 1999 to 2001, Titan paid more than $3.5 million to its agent in Benin, Africa, who was known at the time by Titan to be the President of Benin's business advisor. Titan failed to conduct any meaningful due diligence into the background of its agent either before his retention or thereafter and also failed to ensure that the services alleged to be performed by the agent, and described in his invoices, were in fact provided to Titan. The complaint alleges, in 2001, at the direction of at least one former senior Titan officer based in the United States, Titan funneled approximately $2 million, via its agent in Benin, towards the election campaign of Benin's then-incumbent President. The complaint also alleges that some of these funds were used to reimburse Titan's agent for the purchase to T-shirts adorned with the President's picture and instructions to vote for him in the upcoming election. According to the complaint, Titan made these payments to assist the company in its development of a telecommunications project in Benin and to obtain the Benin government's consent to an increase in the percentage of Titan's project management fees for that project. The complaint alleges that a former senior Titan officer directed that these payments be falsely invoiced by the agent as consulting services and that actual payment of the money be broken into smaller increments and spread out over time. The complaint does not allege that the then-incumbent President knew of the payments.

The Commission's complaint also alleges that, from 1999 to 2003, Titan improperly recorded payments in its books and records, directed agents to falsify invoices submitted to Titan, and failed to devise or maintain an effective system of internal controls to prevent or detect other FCPA violations. Despite utilizing over 120 agents and consultants in over 60 countries, Titan never had a formal company-wide FCPA policy, failed to implement an FCPA compliance program, disregarded or circumvented the limited FCPA policies and procedures in effect, failed to maintain sufficient due diligence files on its foreign agents, and failed to have meaningful oversight over its foreign agents.

According to the complaint, Titan falsified documents that enabled its agents to under-report local commission payments in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. In addition, the complaint alleges that Titan falsified documents presented to the United States government by under-reporting payments on equipment exported to Sri Lanka, France and Japan. The complaint also alleges that Titan (i) paid a World Bank Group analyst in cash to assist Titan in its project in Benin, and (ii) paid a Benin government official approximately $14,000 in travel expenses from 1999 to 2001.

 

Without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, Titan has consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining it from future violations of Sections 30A, 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B), and 13(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 13b2-1 thereunder. Titan also has agreed to disgorge $12,620,000, and to pay prejudgment interest thereon in the amount of $2,859,195.47. Under the terms of the final judgment, Titan will also retain an independent consultant to review the company's FCPA compliance and procedures and will adopt and implement the consultant's recommendations.

Also today the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of California and the U.S. Department of Justice, Fraud Section filed criminal FCPA charges and a tax charge against Titan, who entered a guilty plea before the Honorable Roger T. Benitez, United States District Judge for the Southern District of California (United States of America v. Titan Corporation, Case No.05cr0314-BEN (S.D. Cal.)). In particular, Titan agreed to plead guilty to one felony count of violating the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA, one felony count for falsifying the books and records of Titan, and one felony count for violating Title 26 U.S.C. Section 7206(2) and to pay a criminal fine of $13 million.

Commission's Report Pursuant to Section 21(a) of the Exchange Act The Commission also today issued a Report of Investigation pursuant to Section 21(a) of the Exchange Act to provide guidance concerning potential liability under the antifraud and proxy provisions of the federal securities laws for publication of materially false or misleading disclosures regarding provisions in merger and other contractual agreements.

In its Report, the Commission stated that, on September 15, 2003, Titan became a party to a merger agreement with Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed") in which Lockheed agreed to acquire Titan, pending certain contingencies. Titan affirmatively represented in that merger agreement that to the knowledge of Titan, neither the company "nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has … taken any action which would cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be in violation of the FCPA." This representation was publicly disclosed and disseminated by Titan in two places. The proxy statement disclosed the nature of the representation. The merger agreement containing the representation was also appended to Titan's proxy statement, which was filed with the Commission and sent to Titan's shareholders.

As the Report highlights, when an issuer makes a public disclosure of information -- via filing a proxy statement or otherwise -- the issuer is required to consider whether additional disclosure is necessary in order to put the information contained in, or otherwise incorporated into that publication, into context so that such information is not misleading. The issuer cannot avoid this disclosure obligation simply because the information published was contained in an agreement or other document not prepared as a disclosure document.

The Report is not intended to change the way issuers engage in merger, or other contractual, negotiations or to alter existing diligence obligations or to suggest, absent special circumstances (such as provisions intended to create third party beneficiaries), that provisions such as representations and covenants in such agreements are binding on or intended to benefit persons other than parties thereto. Representations, covenants, or other provisions of an agreement made by an issuer that are not public or disclosed to shareholders are not covered by the scope of this Report.

The Commission will consider bringing an enforcement action under Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9 thereunder in the future if it determines that the subject matter of representations or other contractual provisions is materially misleading to shareholders because material facts necessary to make that disclosure not misleading are omitted.

The Commission acknowledges the assistance in this investigation from the Department of Justice, Fraud Section; the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of California; the Federal Bureau of Investigation, San Diego Division; the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigations; and the Department of Defense Inspector General's Office, Defense Criminal Investigative Service.

The Commission's investigation is continuing.

Titan Systems: description of attack  and Titan Corporation

 

Report Quotation: "At 9:37 a.m., in Arlington County, Captain Steve McCoy and the crew of ACFD Engine 101 were en route to a training session in Crystal City, traveling north on Interstate 395. Their conversation about the World Trade Center attack earlier that morning was interrupted by the sight and sound of a commercial airliner in steep descent, banking sharply to its right before disappearing beyond the horizon. At the same time, ACPD Corporal Barry Foust and Officer Richard Cox, on patrol in south Arlington County, saw a large American Airlines aircraft in a steep dive and on a collision course with the Pentagon.

At 9:38 a.m., American Airlines Flight #77 crashed into the west side of the Pentagon, just beyond the heliport. It was traveling at a speed of about 400 miles per hour, accelerating with close to its full complement of fuel at the time of impact.

The destruction caused by the attack was immediate and catastrophic. The 270,000 pounds of metal and jet fuel hurtling into the solid mass of the Pentagon is the equivalent in weight of a diesel train locomotive, except it is traveling at more than 400 miles per hour. More than 600,000 airframe bolts and rivets and 60 miles of wire were instantly transformed into white-hot shrapnel. The resulting impact, penetration, and burning fuel had catastrophic effects to the five floors and three rings in and around Pentagon Corridors 4 and 5. (See detailed graphics in Appendix 4.)

This act of evil cost the lives of 189 persons in the Pentagon attack, 184 innocent victims, and the 5 terrorist perpetrators of the criminal attack."

WMR: Alberto Gonzales covered up torture by American contractors under DOJ investigation,  December 20, 2010 --
A top U.S. military source involved with the ostensibly-U.S. military run detention camps and prisons in post-U.S. invasion and occupation Iraq has told WMR that a number of private contractors who were responsible for ordering and committing abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad and at other detention facilities were former U.S. state and federal prison guards who were under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice while also working in Iraq. The contractors, many of whom used aliases like "James Bond" and "007" were accused of abusing prisoners at U.S. federal and state prisons while working as guards.

However, a deal was worked out between then-White House Chief Counsel Alberto Gonzales and Commander of Combined Joint Task Force 7 General Ricardo Sanchez that resulted in all the pending criminal investigations of the former U.S. prison guards dropped in return for their "service" in Iraq. The deal to lift the pending Justice Department investigations of the former U.S. prison guards was worked out by the Prisons Department, which reported to Coalition Provisional Authority head Paul "Jerry' Bremer.

WMR's Army source revealed that when asked by military personnel about their assigned jobs at the Iraq prisons, many of the civilian interrogators replied, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you." WMR has also learned that many of the interrogation contracts with companies like CACI and Titan were arranged through the auspices of the CIA, not the Department of Defense.

Aside from some Israelis present at Abu Ghraib and other prisons, none of the contractor interrogators spoke Arabic and most were in Iraq on lucrative 90-day contracts. After the expiration of their 90-day contracts, the civilian interrogators were shipped to the Hilton Hotel in Kuwait where they re-negotiated their original contracts at double and triple their original salaries. The Hilton contract re-negotiation interlude was punctuated by drinking parties and orgies with prostitutes, according to our source.

WMR has learned of one such interrogation contractor who was being paid by CACI at the same time he was working as a Naval Security Group reservist and thus was being paid twice for doing the same job. The individual had been assigned to Saudi Arabia as a signals intelligence operator during the first Gulf War, Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s and re-appeared as a SIGINT operator at the U.S. embassy in Muscat, Oman during Operation Iraqi Freedom. From Muscat, the SIGINT operator ended up working at Bremer's headquarters in threw Green Zone. There is a possibility that the contractor in question may have had ties to Israeli intelligence, and, thus, represented an Israeli penetration of National Security Agency (NSA) operations in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Iraq. No criminal charges for his involvement in the abuse of prisoners at Avbu Ghraib, or possible espionage, were ever brought against the contractor.

The bottom line at Abu Ghraib and some twenty other detention facilities around Iraq was that there was no military control and very little civilian control over the activities of the civilian interrogators and detention operatives.

The site data indicate that the aircraft fuselage impacted the build-ing at column line 14 at an angle of approximately 42 degrees to the normal to the face of the building, at or slightly below the second-story slab. Eyewitness accounts and photographs taken by a security camera suggest that the aircraft was flying on nearly a level path essentially at grade level for several hundred feet immediately prior to impact. Gashes in the facade above the second-floor slab between column lines 18 and 20 to the south of the collapse area suggest that the aircraft had rolled slightly to the left as it entered the building. The right wing was below the second-floor wingspan of the aircraft (figure 6.1). An examination of the area encompassed by extending the line of travel of the aircraft to the face of the building shows that there are no discrete marks on the building corresponding to the positions of the outer third of the right wing. The size and position of the actual opening in the facade of the building (from column line 8 to column line 18) indicate that no portion of the outer two-thirds of the right wing and no portion of the outer one-third of the left wing actually entered the building.  It is possible that less of the right wing than the left wing entered the building because the right wing struck the facade

Did Cheney Allow, Or Even Order, 9/11 Attack on Pentagon?  by Sherwood Ross

Although the official 9/11 Commission Report(CR) said Vice President Richard Cheney did not arrive at the Presidential Emergency Operations Center(PEOC) under the White House until "shortly before 10 a.m." that tragic day, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta testified when he arrived in the room at 9:20 a.m. Cheney was already there. (CR published no testimony from Mineta.) 911 Commission Report GPO Access  and see ProLiberty

The timeline is important because if Cheney arrived at 10 a.m. it would have been about 20 minutes after the Pentagon was allegedly struck by a hijacked airplane at 9:38 a.m., too late for him to authorize the Air Force to shoot it down. Some 125 Pentagon employees perished in the attack.

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 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?"

Since the airplane was not intercepted and destroyed, even though the vice president knew of it, "the orders" may have been to allow the plane to hit the Pentagon. All of this, and more, is contained in the March/April issue of "Tikkun" magazine, "a bimonthly Jewish critique of Politics, Culture & Society." The piece was authored by Dr. David Ray Griffin, a principal debunker of the accepted 9/11 dogma, and published by Rabbi Michael Lerner on grounds, "if his view is true, the position he articulates would provide adequate grounds for impeachment of the president..."

In Griffin's view, "the strike on the Pentagon was orchestrated by forces within our own government." If he's right, 9/11 was, indeed, the crime of the century, and what has been called a false flag operation involving the fabrication of evidence to make it appear the Taliban government of Afghanistan was complicit, paving the road for invasion.

To begin with, there's even a question of whether American Airlines Flight 77 under control of Al-Qaeda hijacker Hani Hanjour struck the Pentagon. It would require, Griffin charges, not only outfoxing military radar for over an hour but the quite miraculous performance of descending 7,000 feet in two minutes while executing a 270-degree banked turn and bashing into the Pentagon without touching or damaging the lawn, a feat of aeronautical magic.

Griffin, a professor of philosophy and theology at Claremont Graduate University, Calif., says the impact of the strike, unlike those of the two planes that struck the Twin Towers, did not create a dectactable seismic signal. "Also, according to photographs and eyewitnesses, the kind of damage and debris that would have been produced by the impact of a Boeing 757 was not evident in the aftermath of the strike on the Pentagon."

Karen Kwiatkowski, then an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel employed at the Pentagon, writes of "a strange lack of visibile debris on the Pentagon lawn, where I stood only moments after the impact." Another witness was CNN's Jamie McIntyre, who reported live from the Pentagon that day: "The only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you pick up in your hand."

Griffin also quotes retired pilot Ralph Omholt, discussing the photographic evidence, who said, "There is no hole big enough to swallow a 757... There is no viable evidence of burning jet fuel... The expected 'crash' damage doesn't exist...Even the Pentagon lawn was undamaged!" So it may have been more than just a slip of the tongue when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld blurted about the "missile" that hit the Pentagon.

The CR report alleged there was no warning of an unidentified aircraft heading to Washington until 9:36 a.m., only "one or two minutes" before the Pentagon was struck, yet Mineta said Cheney knew of it at least 10 minutes earlier, time to order an evacuation.

"By omitting Mineta's testimony and stating that Cheney did not enter the PEOC until almost 10 a.m., the 9/11 Commission implied that Cheney could not have given a stand-down order to allow an aircraft to strike the Pentagon," Griffin writes.

The author goes on to say, CR's conclusion "contradicts Cheney's own account, which can still be read on the White House Website. Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press" shortly after 9/11 Cheney said: '(A)fter I talked to the president...I went down into...the Presidential Emergency Operations Center...(W)hen I arrived there within a short order, we had word the Pentagon's been hit.' So he got there, as Mineta said, some time before the Pentagon was struck, not 20 minutes afterwards."

Griffin asserts the public has been fed three different yarns about why Flight 77 was not intercepted before hitting the Pentagon. Initially, military officials said no fighter jets were scrambled until after the Pentagon was hit; next, they said fighters were scrambled but did not arrive in time because of late FAA notification; finally, the CR found the FAA did not notify NORAD until after the planes crashed.

Particularly curious is that the FBI "immediately confiscated videos from security cameras on nearby buildings," and destroyed crash evidence, Griffin said. "After the strike, officials picked up debris in front of the impact site and carried it off. Shortly thereafter the entire lawn was covered with dirt and gravel, so that any remaining forensic evidence was literally covered up."

Griffin's views are akin to those published on Internet site "Scholars for 9/11 Truth," which has joined with Judicial Watch in calling for release of documents and physical evidence related to 9/11. The group's cofounder, James Fetzer, McKnight Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Minnesota, calls Mineta's estimony "devastating."

"It pulls the plug on the Commission's contention there was no advance warning that the Pentagon was going to be hit," Fetzer said. "In fact, there are multiple witnesses who contradict the Vice President's account, including Richard Clarke, Condoleeza Rice, and several others. It had to have been a 'stand down' order, but the mere fact that he knew the plane was coming in and did not warn the Pentagon is proof this was an inside job," Fetzer said.

Philip J. Berg, former Pennsylvania deputy attorney general and member of Scholars, added, "Those who made it happen were obviously in the position to know that it was going to happen and therefore could have sounded a warning alarm. The case against Cheney is more powerful than the case against (Zacarias) Moussaoui(for willfully concealing advanced knowledge of the forthcoming 9/11 attack). No one is more culpable than the perpetrators. If Moussaoui deserves the death penalty, what does our Vice President deserve?"

Fetzer said the government's case against the hijackers is counterfeit. "A growing body of evidence supports the inference that these 19 men were patsies for forces within the United States government,"

  • ProLiberty An explanation from Vice President Richard Cheney regarding the "orders" described by Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta in his testimony before The 9/11 Commission. Secretary Mineta stated that while in an underground bunker at the White House, he watched Vice President Cheney castigate a young officer for asking, as a plane drew closer and closer to the Pentagon, "Do the orders still stand?" The officer should be identified and allowed to testify at a deposition under oath.
A suspicious cell in the Pentagon linked to Air Force rival chain-of-command    September 19-21, 2008   WMR
A little-reported investigation of a small Department of Defense agency from 2002 to 2004 appears to be linked to a major foreign intelligence operation and security breach in the Pentagon. WMR has been conducting an investigation of a Department of Defense Inspector General probe of the Defense Technology Security Administration (DTSA), which had been merged with the larger Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) on October 1, 1998. It was DTRA that in May 2008 flunked the 91st Bomb Wing at Minot Air Force Base in its nuclear surety inspection of the command for the security control of nuclear weapons after a number of incidents, including the August 2007 unauthorized movement of six nuclear-armed cruise missiles from Minot to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana for planned use in a military strike on Iran. The movement involved a rival chain-of-command within the Air Force that bypassed the Secretary of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff and led directly into the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.

The placement of DTSA (called "Ditsa" by Pentagon insiders) within DTRA (called "Deetra") began in 1998 when DTSA was merged into the larger component. In July 2001, DTRA decided to move the Technology Security Directorate, as DTSA became known as part of DTRA, from its Arlington, Virginia location to Alexandria, Virginia. On July 10, 2002, the Defense Hotline, a number for whistle blowers, received three allegations forwarded from the General Accounting Office (GAO) that DTSA exceeded a cap on moving expenses when it moved from Arlington to Alexandria. However, it is clear that the Pentagon Inspector General failed to prioritize the three complaints. It was not moving expenses that were key to the complaint but that DTSA, according to a February 19, 2004 Inspector General report titled Defense Threat Reduction Agency Relocation Costs, "obtained sensitive compartmented information clearances for personnel who did not need such access, resulting in excessive costs and a potential security risk."

The IG report provides some background on DTRA and DTSA: "DTRA was established October 1, 1998, as a joint service defense agency tasked with safeguarding America and its allies from weapons of mass destruction by reducing the present threat and preparing for future threats. DTRA was created by merging elements of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, DTSA, the Defense Special Weapons Agency, and the On-Site Inspection Agency. DTRA reports to the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense (Nuclear and Chemical and Biological Defense Programs). DTRA has an authorized staff of 2,141 military and civilian personnel. The FY 2003 budget for DTRA was $2.6 billion. When DTSA was merged into DTRA, the Directorate was named the Technology Security Directorate. Subsequently, on August 31, 2001, DTSA was re-established as a separate agency and reports to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy."

Just a mere ten days prior to the 9/11 attacks, on August 31, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz re-established DTSA as a separate agency from DTRA and had its head, the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Technology Security Policy and Counter proliferation, report directly to Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith.

Stephen Younger was DTRA's director from September 1, 2001 to February 27, 2004, a few days after the IG Report was issued that absolved DTRA and DTSA of any major wrongdoing in losing classified material and inflating the need for SCI clearances. DTSA's long-serving director was David Tarbell, who served as director from August 1994 to September 23, 2001. Tarbell was replaced by Lisa Bronson. Until 1997, DTSA reported to the Assistant Secretary for International Security Policy, a position replaced by the Assistant Secretary for Strategy and Threat Reduction.

Although the IG Report concentrates on moving expense issues, it was the exceedingly large number of Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) clearances and the loss of classified information that is at the heart of the matter. The office relocation costs serve as a diversionary tactic. The IG Report discusses the problem with the SCI clearances: "the decision by DTRA to grant SCI clearances to its DTSA staff was not supported by the position description. Only five of the position descriptions for 45 employees who were granted SCI clearances from February 10, 2001, through July 31, 2002, indicated that a security clearance beyond the secret level was required. During August through September 2001, the DTRA security manager informed DTRA division chiefs that they needed to review the position descriptions under their control to ensure that the positions reflected the proper position sensitivity. However, no procedures have been implemented to correct the deficiency."

The report continues by stating that only 5 of 56 SCI clearances were correctly designated and that 45 to 51 SCI clearances had been granted beginning on February 10, 2001, but were not justified: "Security records show that 56 of the DTSA staff were granted SCI clearances from February 10, 2001, through July 31, 2002. We examined position descriptions for 45 of the 56 staff-members; 11 of the position descriptions were unavailable because of employee departures or other reasons. Of the 45 position descriptions examined, 5 were correctly prepared (4 military personnel and 1 civilian employee). Seven of the 45 position descriptions had the correct position sensitivity designations for an SCI clearance but the position description did not indicate that an SCI clearance was required. The remaining 33 positions had erroneous position sensitivity designations.

Although the DTRA security officer and his staff requested that DTRA management determine the sensitivity for each position back in 2001, no procedures have been implemented to correct the deficiency. On August 31, 2001, the Deputy Secretary of Defense reestablished DTSA as a separate agency from DTRA. Accordingly, DTSA needs to take the appropriate corrective action rather than the DTRA. DTSA needs to review the position sensitivity level designated on Office of Personnel Management Form 8 and ensure that the position levels are appropriate and in accordance with 5 C.F.R. Section 732 (2003). Additionally, DTSA needs to ensure that position sensitivity levels support the level of security clearance provided to DTSA staff."

The IG Report addresses the loss of classified material by DTSA. However, it says no further action was necessary because the classified documents were duplicates and "no longer needed" by DTSA. Whether or not classified information is duplicated, it must be disposed of properly and recorded as such. The IG Report states: "On July 15, 2001, the Inspector General, DTRA received an allegation on improper disposal of classified information by DTRA personnel. That complaint was referred to the DoD Deputy Inspector General for Investigations for review. The evidence revealed that the disposed documents were duplicates of documents retained by DTSA and other items no longer needed in carrying out the DTSA mission. The DoD Deputy Inspector General for Investigations did not substantiate the allegation. There were no audits or evaluations relating to this subject during the last 5 years."

There were some published reports that documents on the sale by the U.S. of dual-use technology to other countries, as well as top secret intelligence reports on foreign weapons acquisition programs and foreign front companies involved in the weapons trade were among the documents unaccounted for.

The IG Report also describes "urgency" by DTSA in obtaining 56 SCI clearance for personnel when they were only justified by 5 employees: "Using an Office of Personnel Management price list for background investigations, we estimate that DTRA spent about $110,000 to obtain SCI clearances for the DTSA staff. We identified the type of investigation performed for each of the 56 personnel and multiplied the number of investigations by the current price for the specified urgency. Our estimate may be slightly higher than DTRA actually paid because some of the investigations were performed prior to January 1, 2002, the effective date of the price list we used. The estimated cost of $110,000 does not include the costs that the Defense Intelligence Agency incurred for the adjudication process; those costs are not billed to the requesting agency."

The security problems at DTSA coincide with the Mossad's involvement with two officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Air Force Reserve Colonel and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Soviet and Iran analyst Larry Franklin, who, while on active duty, served tours at the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv. Between 2003 and 2004, Franklin admitted that he met with two AIPAC officials, Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman and shared classified information, including SCI intelligence with them. Franklin was discovered to have had in his possession, 83 classified U.S. government documents discovered in a search of of his Kearneysville, West Virginia home in June.

Rosen and Weissman later shared the classified intelligence with an Israeli embassy official, Naor Gilon, believed to be a Mossad agent. Another co-conspirator was identified as Uzi Arad, a former Israeli intelligence agent. Franklin was also reportedly close to arch-neocon Michael Ledeen and met with Ledeen's old friend, Iranian Jewish agent-of-influence and Iran-contra figure Manucher Ghorbanifar in Rome in December 2001. The FBI investigation of the Franklin-Israeli spy ring was leaked to the media on August 27, 2004. Franklin was charged with six criminal counts, including passing classified information to an agent of a foreign government. However, he was only convicted of three charges, not including the foreign intelligence count. Franklin was convicted on January 20, 2006 and sentenced to 12 and 1/2 years in prison and given a $10,000 fine. Franklin remains free pending the often-delayed trial of Rosen and Weissman under the Espionage Act.

In what could prove embarrassing for Israel's intelligence hierarchy in Israel and the United States, U.S. Judge T.S. Ellis has approved defense requests for subpoenas of Wolfowitz and Feith, two key players involved in the DTSA operations. But the clock is running out for federal prosecutors and the possibility of a George Bush pardon for Rosen and Weissman, which would also see Franklin absolved, is real.

Problems with Israeli spies and agents-of-influence in the Pentagon have existed as a public issue ever since the term of General George "Scratchy" Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Air Force Chief of Staff. In October 1974, General Brown, while serving as Joint Chiefs Chairman under President Gerald Ford, was quoted in Time as telling a seminar at Duke University Law School that he hoped the United States would not use force against oil-producing nations in the Middle East. General Brown said he could foresee a "Seven Days in May" scenario in the United States if the American people began to suffer from an oil embargo. He said, "You can conjure a situation where there is another oil embargo and people in this country are not only inconvenienced and uncomfortable, but suffer. They get tough-minded enough to set down the Jewish influence in this country and break that lobby." General Brown further described the influence of the Israel lobby: "It's so strong you wouldn't believe now. We have the Israelis coming to us for equipment. We say we can't possibly get the Congress to support that. They say, 'Don't worry about the Congress. We will take care of the Congress.' Now this is somebody from another country, but they can do it." General Brown did not stop there. He added, "They own, you know, the banks in this country, the newspapers. Just look at where the Jewish money is."

Ford called General Brown into his office for a ten-minute reprimand. Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, who recently completed a study of the Air Force's nuclear security problems for Defense Secretary Robert Gates, merely called Brown's comments "unfortunate." New York Republican Senator Jacob Javits called for a full investigation of General Brown's comments.

General Brown, in an interview with a reporter in 1976, repeated his charge about Israel and called Israel a "burden" for the Defense Department. Calls for General Brown's firing were repeated but he remained as Joint Chiefs Chairman into President Jimmy Carter's term, retiring on June 21, 1978. General Brown lived only another five months -- he died at age 61 from cancer on December 5, 1978.

On December 9, 1980, investigative journalist Jack Anderson reported that the CIA launched a probe of the Air Force for leaking high-tech secrets to Israel. The joint development of cruise missiles by Israel, South Africa, and Taiwan was thought to involve the leak of "long-range nuclear delivery knowhow" by senior U.S. Air Force officers to Israel, violating a U.S. ban on such technology transfer. Anderson wrote, "While the Air Force has a long history of close ties with the Israelis, the CIA has argued that Israeli intelligence activities in the United States should be curtailed . . .What particularly worries the CIA is the possibility that the KGB routinely includes its agents among the Soviet Jews who are permitted to emigrate to Israel. Thus, the CIA fears, any technology given to Israel may wind up in the Kremlin." Anderson later reported that the CIA's agents and NSA's signals intercepts proved that Israel had provided sensitive military technology to South Africa.

One person who publicly challenged Brown was Joseph Churba, the top Middle East intelligence official in the Air Force who told a reporter that Brown's comments were "dangerously irresponsible" and pointed to a "tilt" against Israel within the Pentagon. Churba lost his clearance for signals intelligence (SIGINT) and satellite intelligence (Talent-Keyhole) and was fired for talking to the media. Churba, who hailed from a family of Syrian Sephardic rabbis, later joined the Ronald Reagan campaign as an adviser and was eventually appointed as an adviser to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency where he worked closely with two alumni of Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson's staff, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy Richard Perle and Senate Armed Services Committee staffer Frank Gaffney, both of whom would become neocon supporters of the Project for the New American Century and other neocon contrivances. Churba later became president of the International Security Council, a Washington "research group" linked to the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's global propaganda empire. Churba died in 1996 from a heart attack. He was 62.

Churba, Perle, and others with a pro-Israeli bent would set out to transform the Pentagon from a place where anti-Israelis like General Brown could gain dominance and turn it into the most pro-Israeli of federal departments. And these new Pentagon officials would have the support of some high-level CIA officials who were fervently pro-Israeli, including Reagan's CIA director William Casey and the former CIA director of counter-intelligence James Jesus Angleton, who was fired by CIA director William Colby in 1974. Angleton was the architect of close CIA ties to the Mossad and he maintained those ties even after leaving the CIA. Casey was also close to the Mossad and made a number of secret trips to Israel as CIA director. It was during Casey's watch that U.S. intelligence was damaged by the Jonathan Pollard espionage affair and Israeli intelligence involvement in the Iran-contra affair.

They would be joined by others, including Stephen Bryen, who, in the 1970s, created the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), along with Michael Ledeen, as a major Israel lobbying entity targeting the Pentagon's top brass. Bryen became a top aide to Perle and lobbied hard for the creation of DTSA in 1985. Bryen became DTSA's first director. As such he was able to influence what U.S. military equipment the U.S. sold to Israel and what sensitive technology could be shared with Israel. Bryen's tenure at DTSA resulted in complaints by Customs Service Commissioner William von Raab and Deputy Defense Secretary Richard Armitage that sensitive U.S. military technology was going to Israel and that some of it was being re-exported against the law.

Bryen had reportedly been under investigation for offering Defense Department documents to Israeli government agents at a Washington restaurant in 1987. Bryen was then a staffer for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, working for Senator Clifford Case (R-NJ). Philip Heymann, the head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, closed the case with no action taken. Bryen later went on to work with Gaffney's Center for Security Policy.

One of Bryen's chief assistants at DTSA was Norman D. Kass, the Deputy Director of Licensing for the agency. Kass was an Army tactical intelligence officer in South Vietnam and fluent in Russian and Hebrew. Kass served in the DTSA position until 1992. He eventually became Executive Secretary of the U.S./Russia Joint Commission on POWs/MIAs, set up in 1992, in part, to investigate the fate of missing U.S. military personnel from World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and the Cold War. At one point, Kass' work on POW/MIA issues earned him the wrath of conservative Republican New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith, who charged that there was never any provision for an Executive Secretariat at the U.S./Russia Joint Commission. On January 27, 1999, Smith, who served as Chairman of the Vietnam Working Groups of the US/Russian Joint Commission, wrote: "Nowhere in this plan is there reference to the requirement for the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for POW/MIA Affairs to ensure that his office provides an Executive Secretariat for the U.S. Members of the U.S./Russian Joint Commission on POWs and MIAs." Smith always believed that there was a cover-up of by the Pentagon of the POW/MIA issue, particularly those from the Vietnam conflict.

In fact, Smith asked Attorney General Janet Reno to investigate Kass and other Pentagon and Defense Intelligence Agency officers for perjury before the Senate. Smith's charges were dismissed by both Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and John McCain (R-AZ).

Kass is married to Dr. Ilana Dimant-Kass, a former major in the Israeli Air Force. From 1982 to 1985, Dr. Kass, who now is known by the name "Lani" Kass, served as the director of the Russian Research Center at Booz Allen and Hamilton. Although the term Soviet was the common term during the time period, the Russian term was used for the center to veer away from the "Sovietologists" who rarely, if ever, considered Russian history and culture in relation to the USSR. Kass worked in the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, as Special Assistant to the Director, Strategic Plans and Policy Directorate (J-5) at the Joint Staff. She also worked under Defense Secretaries William Cohen and Donald Rumsfeld, as Senior Policy Adviser and Special Assistant for Strategic Initiatives to the Director, Strategic Plans and Policy Directorate and later as Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force, and Director of the Air Force Chief of Staff's Cyberspace Task Force . From 1985 to 2005, Dr. Kass also taught at the National War College in Washington, DC.

While at the war college, Dr. Kass was involved in teaching courses that would have a dramatic impact on the news and media in wartime: Military Thought and the Essence of War and Studies of Warning, Surprise and Deception. Kass has also been involved in the Pentagon's Project Checkmate, a restoration of the old group with the same name that plotted the Desert Storm air war against Iraq and is now charged with planning a war against Iran.

Kass is a graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and in 1978 she and her husband wrote, for Hebrew University, a review for the Slavic Review of two books, The Soviet Union and Black Africa, by Christopher Stevens and Soviet and Chinese Influence in the Third World, by Alvin Z. Rubinstein.

A paper written by Kass for the Air University Review in 1985 lists the following resume items: "Senior Analyst with Systems Research and Applications Corporation, Arlington, Virginia; an Adjunct Professor of Soviet Military Studies at Georgetown University; and a frequent guest lecturer at the National War College. Dr. Kass has been a senior analyst with the Advanced International Studies Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, and senior lecturer at the Israeli Defense Forces Staff College, Jerusalem, Israel."

WMR has learned that the Russian Research Center of Booz Allen was under the Advanced International Studies Institute (AISI). Upon the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the emergence of Russia as a separate nation, there was no longer any need to continue to differentiate between Soviet and Russian, and the center was closed. However, the AISI still exists, according to phone records, but there is no discernible address. One address is given as 5480 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda, however, it turns out to be the address for the Highland House, an apartment building that houses a number of doctor's offices and private residences. The manager, who has been at Highland House for nine years, said he never heard of or seen mail addressed to the Advanced International Studies Institute.

No record of an AISI at Wisconsin Avenue address.

Kass has written a number of articles, including a few recent pieces for the right-wing Human Events. At an Air Force conference in 2006 in Washington, DC, Kass' biography on the speakers' list stated: "Dr. Kass was a key participant in the development of the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism, as well as the National Military Strategic Plan for GWOT. She also has authored 2 books and over 20 scholarly articles. Dr. Kass is a member of the Hermes Society--the DCI's Task Force on countering hostile denial and deception--and a frequent guest lecturer at a wide variety of governmental and civic fora."

There is very little information on the Hermes Society, however, the former Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) ran a program, code named FIRSTFRUITS, that collected intelligence on journalists, including this editor. On May 10, 2005, WMR reported: "NSA maintains a database that tracks unofficial and negative articles written about the agency. Code named "FIRSTFRUITS," the database is operated by the Denial and Deception (D&D) unit within SID [Signals Intelligence Division of NSA]. High priority is given to articles written as a result of possible leaks from cleared personnel." WMR reported on January 13, 2006 that FIRSTFRUITS' code name had been changed because of our revelations about its existence. It continues to operate under a new code name.

It is clear that whatever the Hermes Society is, "denial and deception," the main mission of NSA's FIRSTFRUITS and apparently, the mysterious Hermes Society, received the blessing of CIA director Porter Goss, who also served as DCI, and the National Intelligence Council.

Since WMR's revelations about FIRSTFRUITS and particularly after our exposure of the rival nuclear chain-of-command from Cheney's office through the Air Force to Air Force field nuclear activities, we have been the subject of a major "denial and deception" campaign. [Related story today]. This has included physical tails on myself and my colleague, cell phone interference, and incessant e-mail problems.

The rival chain-of-command from Cheney's office around the Secretary of Defense and Joint Chiefs and directly to military field commanders has been confirmed in Bob Woodward's book, "The War Within." Cheney and Bush used retired Army General Jack Keane to pass information to Iraq commander General David Petraeus. Likewise, Cheney's office was using a rival chain through the Air Force Chief of Staff and Secretary to create the Air Force Cyber Command as an alternate chain, one that could have had drastic consequences had not the movement in August 2007 of nuclear cruise missiles from North Dakota and Louisiana for use in a pre-staged attack on Iran been disclosed in a leak to the media by three high-ranking Air Force officers.

The Pentagon's "denial and deception" program was always intended to be used against an enemy. The neocons have decided that it is best used against not only the press but the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

April 26-28, 2010 -- The super-classified network that served as command and control for the 9/11 false flag attack on America

publication date: Apr 25, 2010

 

April 26-28, 2010 -- The super-classified network that served as command and control for the 9/11 false flag attack on America

Multiple U.S. intelligence sources have reported to WMR that a super-classified network with only some 70 terminals in select U.S. government locations handled the parallel command-and-control activities that permitted the 9/11 terrorist attacks to be successful.

The "above top secret" network bears the acronym "PDAS." WMR has not yet discovered what the acronym stands for, however, its is limited to only a few hundred people with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Special Access Program (SAP) need-to-know access, in addition to the President and Vice President.

On September 11, 2001, PDAS was used to convey the information from the Air Force Chief of Staff to the White House, CIA, and other select agencies that the Air Force had successfully intercepted and downed a target over Pennsylvania. It is believed that the "target" in question was United flight 93, although there is no confirmation that the aircraft was in fact the one downed by Air Force interceptors.

The Air Force Chief of Staff on 9/11 was General John Jumper, who had become the top Air Force commander on September 6, 2001, just five days before the 9/11 attacks.

There is also reason to believe that the PDAS terminal at the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) at the White House was used to coordinate the activities related to the aerial attack on the Pentagon. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta claimed Vice President Dick Cheney was present at the PEOC at 9:25 am on the morning of 9/11, before the alleged impact of American Airlines flight 77 on the building.

Mineta testified before the 9/11 Commission that Cheney was aware of special orders concerning a plane heading toward Washington. Mineta said: "During the time that the airplane was coming into 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 turned and whipped his neck around and said “Of course the orders still stand, have you heard anything to the contrary?"

PDAS terminals are reportedly located at the White House, on board Air Force One, the Pentagon, CIA headquarters, the National Security Agency, the Boeing E-4 Advanced Airborne Command Post that was seen flying over Washington, DC on 9/11 after the attacks, the Defense Intelligence Agency at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, DC, and the Raven Rock Mountain Complex in Pennsylvania where Cheney hid out after the 9/11 attacks.

Mineta later followed up with reporters and stated "When I overheard something about 'the orders still stand' and so, what I thought of was that they had already made the decision to shoot something down."

It now appears that PDAS was used by Cheney to implement on the morning of 9/11 a new policy issued on June 1, 2001 that provided for a "stand down" protocol that replaced a long-standing shootdown order for hijacked and suspected hijacked planes. The new order transferred the authority to shoot down aircraft from Pentagon and NORAD military commanders to the President, Vice President, or Secretary of Defense.   MORE  keywords: super-classifed, terminals, SCI, Sensitive Compartmented Information, Special Access Program, need-to-know, downed flight 93, Gen.

9/11 REVISITED AND QUESTIONED,  Summarized from www.patriotsquestion911.com.
 

Senator Max Cleland ~ Former member of the 9/11 Commission, resigned in December 2003 "I, as a member of the [9/11] Commission, cannot look any American in the eye... It is a national scandal... this White House wants to cover [9/11] up."

Senator Mark Dayton ~ Member, Senate Committee on Armed Services and Homeland Security "[NORAD] lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11 Commission...the most gross incompetence and dereliction of responsibility and negligence"

Congressman Ron Paul ~ Vice Chairman of the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee "the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation"

Congressman Curt Weldon ~ "[9/11 Commission] there's something very sinister going on here... something desperately wrong... This involved what is right now the covering up of information that led to the deaths of 3,000 people"

Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney ~ Member of the House Armed Services Committee "the [9/11] Commission ran up against obstruction by the administration and non-cooperation from government agencies... the errors and omissions immediately jumped out at us"

Director of the FBI, Louis Freeh ~ "[9/11 Commission] findings--raises serious challenges to the commission's credibility and, if the facts prove out, might just render the commission historically insignificant itself"

Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts, PhD ~ "Distinguished national and international scientists and scholars present massive evidence that the 9/11 Commission Report is a hoax and that the 9/11 "terrorist attack" has been manipulated to serve a hegemonic agenda in the Middle East... We know that it is strictly impossible for any building, much less steel columned buildings, to "pancake" at free fall speed. Therefore, it is a non-controversial fact that the official explanation of the collapse of the WTC buildings is false"

Assistant Secretary of Housing, Catherine Austin Fitts ~ "Regarding 9/11 "The official story could not possibly have happened... It's not possible. It's not operationally feasible... The Commission was a whitewash. "

U.S. Army Intelligence officer, Federal Prosecutor, Office of Special Investigations, U.S. Department of Justice, John Loftus ~ "The information provided by European intelligence services prior to 9/11 was so extensive that it is no longer possible for either the CIA or FBI to assert a defence of incompetence"

Foreign Service Officer, George Kenney ~ " I cannot believe, much as I might like to, the standard account of 9/11"

Foreign Service Officer, J. Michael Springman ~ "Fifteen of the nineteen people who allegedly flew airplanes into buildings in the United States got their visas from the same CIA Consulate at Jeddah"

Deputy Attorney General, State of Pennsylvania, Philip J. Berg, Esquire ~ "The official story of what actually took place on 0/11 is a lie. "

Major General U.S. Army, Commanding General of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, Albert Stubblebine ~ "I look at the hole in the Pentagon and I look at the size of an airplane that was supposed to have hit the Pentagon. And I said, 'The plane does not fit in that hole'. So what did hit the Pentagon?"

Col. Ronald D. Ray, U.S. Marine Corps ~ Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Deputy Director of Field Operations for the U.S. Marine Corps Historical Center - "I'm astounded that the conspiracy theory advanced by the administration could in fact be true and the evidence does not seem to suggest that's accurate"

Col. Robert Bowman, U.S. Air Force, Director of Advanced Space Programs, PhD Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering ~ " the official 9/11 story is impossible .. There is a cover up .. high levels of our government don't want us to know what happened .. highly placed individuals in the administration .. Dick Cheney .. the very kindest thing we can say about George W Bush .. is high treason and cospiracy to commit murder "

Col. George Nelson, U.S. Air Force, aircraft accident investigator ~ "I never witnessed nor even heard of an aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented investigators from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make, model, and specific registration number of the aircraft -- and in most cases the precise cause of the accident... The government alleges that four wide-body airliners crashed on the morning of September 11 2001, resulting in the deaths of more than 3,000 human beings, yet not one piece of hard aircraft evidence has been produced in an attempt to positively identify any of the four aircraft. On the contrary, it seems only that all potential evidence was deliberately kept hidden from view .. with all the evidence readilty available at the pentagon crash site, any unbiased rational investigator could only conclude that a Boeing 757 did not fly into the Pentagon as alleged. Similarly, with all the evidence available at the Pennsylvania crash site, it was most doubtful that a passenger airliner caused the obvious hole in the ground and certainly not the Boeing 757 as alleged .. the most heinous conspiracy in outr country's history "

Major Douglas Rokke, PhD, U.S. Army ~ "Regarding the impact at the Pentagon on 9/11/2001 "when you look at the damage, it was obviously a missile."

Capt. Russ Wittenberg, U.S. Air Force, fighter pilot, commercial pilot flying 707, 720, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, and 777 's. Had previously flown Flight 93, which impacted in Pennsylvania, and Flight 175, the second plane to hit the WTC ~ "The government story they handed us about 9/11 is total B.S. plain and simple...[Regarding Flight 77]"The airplane could not have flown at those speeds which they said it did without going into what they call a high speed stall. The airplane won't go that fast if you start pulling those high G maneuvers at those bank angles... The vehicle that hit the Pentagon was not Flight 77"

Lt. Col. Karen U. Kwiatkowski, PhD, U.S. Air Force, Office of the Secretary of Defense, staff of the Director of the National Security Agency ~ "It is as a scientist that I have the most trouble with the official government conspiracy theory, mainly because it does not satisfy the rules of probability or physics. The collapses of the World Trade Center buildings clearly violate the laws of probability and physics...There was a derth of visible debris on the relatively unmarked Pentagon, where I stood only minutes after the impact. Beyond this strange absence of airliner debris, there was no sign of the kind of damage one would expect from the impact of a large airliner... this visible evidence or lack thereof may also have been apparent to the Sec of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who in an unfortunate slip of the tongue referred to the aircraft that slamed into the Pentagon as a ' missile ' ... I saw nothing of significance at the point of contact ~ no airplane metal or cargo debris was blowing on the lawn in front of the damaged building as smoke billowed from within the Pentagon .. all of us staring at the Pentagon that morning were indeed looking for such debris, but what we expected was not evident .. the same is true with regard to the damage we expected .. but I did not see this kind of damage. Rather, the facade had a rather small hole, no larger than 20 feet in diameter. Although this facade later collapsed, it remained standing for 30 0r 40 minutes, with the roof remaining relatively straight .. 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 have expected if a missile had struck the Pentagon " Senior Military Affairs Journalist at the Naval Postgraduate School, Barbara Honegger, MS ~ "The US military, not al Qaeda, had the sustained access weeks before 9/11 to also plant controlled demolition charges throughout the superstructures of WTC 1 and WTC 2, and in WTC 7, which brought down all three buildings on 9/11...A US military plane, not one piloted by al Qaeda, performed the highly skilled, high-speed 270-degree dive towards the Pentagon that Air Traffic Controllers on 9/11 were sure was a military plane as they watched it on their screens. Only a military aircraft, not a civilian plane flown by al Qaeda, would have given off the "Friendly" signal needed to disable the Pentagon's anti-aircraft missile batteries as it approached the building...Only the US military, not al Qaeda, had the ability to break all of its Standard Operating Procedures to paralyze its own emergency response system"

Capt. Gregory M. Zeigler, PhD, U.S. Army, U.S. Army Intelligence Officer ~ "I knew from September 18, 2001, that the official story about 9/11 was false. ... [A]nomalies poured in rapidly: the hijackers' names appearing in none of the published flight passenger lists, BBC reports of stolen identities of the alleged hijackers or the alleged hijackers being found alive, the obvious demolitions of WTC 1 and 2...and WTC7...not hit by an airplane...the lack of identifiable Boeing 757 wreckage at the Pentagon"

Capt. Eric H. May, U.S. Army, Intelligence officer ~ "I view the 911 event ...as a matter that implies either...A) passive participation by the Bush White House through a deliberate stand-down or B) active execution of a plot by rogue elements of government, starting with the White House itself, in creating a spectacle of destruction that would lead the United States into an invasion of the Middle East"

Former Chairman, National Intelligence Estimates, CIA, responsible for preparing the President' Daily Brief, U.S. Army Intelligence Officer, Raymond L. McGovern ~ " I think at simplest terms, there's a cover-up. The 9/11 report is a joke...just as Hitler in 1933 cynically exploited the burning of the parliament building, the Reichstag, this is exactly what our President did in exploiting 9/11...making a war of aggression on a country that he knew had nothing to do with 9/11...that's certainly an impeachable offense...But compelling evidence for an even more disturbing conclusion: that the 9/11 attacks were themselves orchestrated by this administration precisely so they could be thus exploited."

National Intelligence Officer and Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis, William Christison ~ "there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. ... An airliner almost certainly did not hit The Pentagon. ... The North and South Towers of the World Trade Center almost certainly did not collapse and fall to earth because hijacked aircraft hit them...this all was totally an inside job... I have since decided that....at least some elements in this US government had contributed in some way or other to causing 9/11 to happen or at least allowing it to happen... The reason that the two towers in New York actually collapsed and fell all the way to the ground was controlled explosions rather than just being hit by two airplanes. ... All of the characteristics of these demolitions show that they almost had to have been controlled explosions... I think you almost have to look at the 9/11 Commission Report as a joke and not a serious piece of analysis at all... It's a monstrous crime"

U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer, case officer CIA. Robert David Steele ~ "I am forced to conclude that there is sufficient evidence to indict (not necessarily convict) Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and others...This is, without question, the most important modern reference on state-sponsored terrorism, and also the reference that most pointedly suggests that select rogue elements within the US Government, most likely led by Dick Cheney with the assistance of George Tenet, Buzzy Kronguard, and others close to the Wall Street gangs, are the most guilty of state-sponsored terrorism...I'm absolutely certain that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition and that as far as I'm concerned means that this case has not been properly investigated. There's no way that building could have come down without controlled demolition"

CIA Case Officer, Specialist in the Middle East, Directorate of Operations, Awarded Career Intelligence Medal, Robert Baer ~ " Regarding the opinion there was an aspect of 'inside job' to 9/11 within the U.S. government, "There is that possibility, the evidence points at it." Counter-terrorism expert in the Security Division of the federal Aviation Administration. Team leader of the FAA's Red ( Terrorism ) Team in the Federal Air Marshall program, Coast Guard officer, Bogdan Dzakovic ~ "At worst, I think the 9/11 Commission Report is treasonous."

Minister of Justice, West Germany, Horst Ehmke, PhD - "Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation with four hijacked planes without the support of a secret service."

State Secretary, Federal Ministry of Defense, West Germany, Andreas von Buelow, PhD - "The official story is so inadequate and far-fetched that there must be another one...This is unthinkable, without years-long support from secret apparatuses of the state and industry."

President of Italy, Francesco Cossiga ~ "[9/11] could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel."

General Leonid Ivashov, Chief of Staff, Russian armed forces, Ministry of Defense ~ "Only secret services and their current chiefs – or those retired but still having influence inside the state organizations – have the ability to plan, organize and conduct an operation [9/11] of such magnitude...Osama bin Laden and "Al Qaeda" cannot be the organizers nor the performers of the September 11 attacks. They do not have the necessary organization, resources or leaders."

Foreign Minister of Egypt, Mohamed Hassanein Heikal ~ "Bin Laden does not have the capabilities for an operation [9/11] of this magnitude. When I hear Bush talking about al-Qaida as if it was Nazi Germany or the communist party of the Soviet Union, I laugh because I know what is there. Bin Laden has been under surveillance for years: every telephone call was monitored and al-Qaida has been penetrated by American intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, Saudi intelligence, Egyptian intelligence. They could not have kept secret an operation that required such a degree of organisation and sophistication."

Chief of Staff, Pakistani Army, General Mirza Aslam Beg ~ "The information which is now coming up, goes to prove that involvement by the 'rogue elements' of the U.S. military and intelligence organization is getting more obvious. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda definitely do not have the knowhow and the capability to launch such operations involving such high precision coordination, based on information and expertise."

European Parliament, Committee on Security and Defense, Giulietto Chiesa ~ regarding 9-11 "Billions of people were given only one explanation....which is entirely false....everyone who dares to question it is treated as if he was a fool."

French Army Intelligence and artillery officer, Col. Pierre-Henri Bunel, Expert in the effects of artillery weapons and explosives ~ Regarding Department of Defense photos of the Pentagon on 9/11 "Image of the impact on the Pentagon is very instructive as to the nature of the explosion. ... It corresponds to a detonation of an explosive with high energetic power. The explosion does not correspond to a deflagration of kerosene...suggests a single engine flying vehicle much smaller in size than an airliner...resembles the effects of anti-concrete hollow charges that I have been able to observe on a number of battlefields...lead me therefore to think that the detonation that struck the building was that of a high-powered hollow charge used to destroy hardened buildings and carried by an aerial vehicle, a missile."

Safety Engineer and accident Analyst, National Safety Technology Authority, Finland, Heikki Kurttila, PhD ~ " Conclusion: The observed collapse time of WTC 7 was 6.5 seconds. That is only half a second longer than it would have taken for the top of the building to fall to the ground in a vacuum, and half a second shorter than the falling time of an apple when air resistance is taken into account. ... The great speed of the collapse and the low value of the resistance factor strongly suggest controlled demolition."

Counter-Terrorism Officer, MI5 (Britain), David Shayler ~ regarding 9-11 "The available evidence indicates that people in key positions in the FBI, the State Department, the CIA and so on were not loyal to the Constitution; that they saw an opportunity in plans laid down by genuine Islamic terrorists to carry out an operation that would shock the world and would therefore justify U.S. adventurism in the middle East, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Chairman, 9/11 Commission, Thomas H. Kean, Former Governor of New Jersey ~ "FAA and NORAD officials advanced an account of 9/11 that was untrue...We, to this day, don't know why NORAD told us what they told us...It was just so far from the truth."

Vice Chairman, 9/11 Commission, Lee Hamilton, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Homeland Security Advisory Council ~ "we got started late; we had a very short time frame...we did not have enough money...We had a lot of people strongly opposed to what we did. We had a lot of trouble getting access to documents and to people. ... So there were all kinds of reasons we thought we were set up to fail"

9/11 Commissioner, Timothy J. Roemer, PhD, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ~ "that panel members so distrusted testimony from Pentagon officials that they referred their concerns to the Pentagon's inspector general...We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting"

Senior Counsel, 9/11 Commission, John J. Farmer, Jr., Former Attorney General, NJ, Former Commissioner of the State Commission of Investigations ~ Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described...The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years"
