- A dedicated group of experienced civilian and military
pilots, including combat fighter pilots and commercial airline captains,
just finished a marathon 72 hours of non- stop briefings and debate over
the current crisis evolving from the use of commercial aircraft as
cruise missiles against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11
Sep- tember.
-
- The so-called terrorist attack was in fact a superbly
executed military operation against the United States, requiring
the utmost professional military skill in command, communications and
control. It was flawless in timing, in the choice of selected aircraft
to be used as guided mis- siles, and in the coordinated delivery of those
missiles to their pre-selected targets.
-
- As a tactical military exercise against two significant
targets (world financial center and the citadel of world strategic
military planning), the attack, from a psychologi- cal impact on the
American public, equaled the Japanese "surprise" attack on
Pearl Harbor 7 Dec 1941.
-
- The over-riding questionIf we are at war, who is the
enemy?
-
- The group determined that the enemy is within the
gates, that he has infiltrated into the highest policy- making positions
at the Federal level, and has absolute control, not only of the purse
strings, but of the troop build-up and deployment of our military forces,
including active, reserve and National Guard units.
-
- PRELUDE TO PANIC
-
- The 9-11 activity and horrific destruction of US prop-
erty and lives was intentionally meant to trigger a psy- chological
and patriotic reaction on the part of the US citizens, which is paving
the way for "combined UN activity" (using the fig leaf of NATO)
for striking key targets in both the Middle East/ South Asia and the
Balkans. The goal continues to be ultimate destruction of all national
sover- eignty and establishment of a global government.
-
- The trigger for the 9-11 activity was the imminent and
unstoppable world-wide financial collapse, which can only be prevented
(temporarily) by a major war, perhaps to become known as WW 111. To
bring it off (one more time), martial law will probably be imposed in
the United States.
-
- In each of the major wars of the 20th century, the
financial manipulators (located in the City of London and New York
City) had placed the US (and much of the Western world) in a monetary
expansion mode, followed by an ever- tightening vice of a gigantic credit
squeeze.
-
- We now have two ongoing and tightly controlled simulta-
neous events (emanating from the two symbolic targets of 9111) Alan
Greenspan, Fed chairman, promising to flood the market with up to $200
billion in FRNs and to further lower interest rates, thus bringing
about hyperinflation and dollar devaluation.
-
- Much of these multi billions in largesse will be dumped
into the coffers of Wall Street, Defense, bankrupt airlines, insurance
companies and into the willing arms of debt-ridden third-world countries
in the form of debt repudiation (forgiveness). Call it bribery, in
order to get these often reluctant nations to join our coalition of "freedom
fight- ers" in "the war against terrorism".
-
- 2) Paul Wolfowitz, deputy Defense secretary, promised
that the US will launch "sustained military strikes against those
behind the terrorist attacks on New York and Washing- ton". He said
that the "military retaliation would continue until the roots of
terrorism are destroyed."
-
- This bit of saber rattling was seconded by select NATO
allies (especially Britain), and by our chief ally in the Middle East,
Ariel Sharon, while Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld, with the blessings
of Pres. Bush 11, is activating thousands of national guard and reservists,
not only to guard the vulnerable airports, but to do fly-overs of
our Nation's capital in F16s from the North Dakota Air Guard. Other
National Guard units are being jockeyed into potential combat "hot
spots" throughout the Middle East/South Asia and the Balkans.
-
- WHO IS THE ENEMY?
-
- Following is a summary of the near-unanimous views
of the assembled military and civilian pilots concerning cer- tain critical
factors relating to the WTC/Pentagon hit of 9- 11: Troubling questions
arose about the alleged pilot-hi- jackers of the four aircraft, who were
supposedly trained on Cessna aircraft over the past year at fields in Florida
and Oklahoma. One General officer remarked, "I seriously ques-
tion whether these novices could have located a target dead- on 200 miles
removed from takeoff point...-- much less controlled the flight and
mastered the intricacies of 11FR (instrument flight rules) -- and all
accomplished in 45 minutes."
-
- The extremely skillful maneuvering of the three air-
craft at near mach speeds, each unerringly hitting their targets,
was superb. As one Air Force officer -- a veteran of over 100 sorties
over North Vietnam -- explained, "Those birds (commercial airliners)
either had a crack fighter pilot in the left seat, or they were being
maneuvered by remote control."
-
- Another pilot warned that "we had better consider
whether electro-magnetic pulse or radio frequency weapons were used
from a command and control platform hovering over the Eastern Seaboard...
I'm talkin' AWACS."
-
- Another comment"If there was an AWACS on station
over the targeted area, did it have a Global Hawk capability? I mean,
could it convert the commercial jets to robotic flying missiles?
-
- A hotly debated questionWho would be in command of such
an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS)? Were they Chinese --
Russians -- Saudis -- Israelis -- NATO ? All of these countries possess
AWACS-type aircraft. All (except the
-
- Saudis) have the capability to utilize electro-magnetic
pulsing (EMP) to knock out on-board flight controls and communications
of targeted aircraft, and then, to fly them by remote control.
-
- One of the Air Force officers explained that we had
already flown a robot plane the size of a Boeing 737 across the Pacific
to Australia -- unmanned -- from Edwards AF13 in California to a successful
landing on an Aussie base in South Australia. It flies along a pre-programmed
flight path, but is "monitored" (controlled remotely) by a
pilot from an outside station.
-
- He explained that the London Economist (20 Sep 2001)
published comments from the former CEO of British Airways, Robert Ayling,
who stated that an aircraft could be comman- deered from the ground or
air and controlled remotely in the event of a hijack.
-
- COMMERCIAL JETS AS GUIDED MISSILES
-
- An AP story, dateline Brussels - 7 Oct 01 -- "At
Washington's request, NATO will soon deploy surveillance aircraft for
anti-terrorist operations in the United States in response to the attacks
on New York and Washington, NATO officials said Sunday, an unprecedented
use of foreign military forces to defend the U.S. homeland."
-
- The assembled group of pilots debated why we would ask
for foreign forces to fly AWACS over our sovereign territory when we
have a fleet of 33 of them, of which 28 are sta- tioned in Oklahoma.
The debate also centered on whether such NATO surveillance aircraft were
already here prior to 11 September.
-
- Could one of them have commandeered the four airliners?
-
- There seems to be wide discrepancies between what the
Federal government is proclaiming -- and their media moguls reporting
-- as opposed to the calm and reasoned and ration- al views of those
men who fly the planes and defend the nation against all enemies, foreign
and domestic.
-
- This writer has been a general aviation pilot since
1946. 1 have flown a variety of single engine prop aircraft since, and
installed an FAA-approved airstrip here on my farm in 1980. Two local
pilots periodically joined me for short hops; one, a Madison County lawyer,
a graduate of the Air Force Academy, who flew for the Air Force before
coming home to practice law.
-
- The other, Kent Hill, who lives with his wife, Carol,
on a farm close to mine, is an American Airlines captain assigned to
the European route. He was a lifelong friend of "Chic" Burlingame,
They were graduates of the Naval Academy and flew F-4 Phantoms in Vietnam.
Both left the Navy 28 years ago and joined American Airlines. Both
planned to retire in 2002. Chic was the captain of AA flight 77,
a Boeing 757, which departed Washington Dulles for Los Angeles at 810
am on I I September, with 58 passengers and a crew of 6. Flight 77 crashed
into the Pentagon at 9:41 am.
-
- "We were totally trained on the old type of hijack,"
Capt Hill said, "where you treat the hijacker cordially, punch
a 4-digit code into your transponder to alert ground control you're
being hijacked, and then get him where he
-
- wants to go, set the plane safely on the ground and let
them deal with it on the ground. However, this is a totally new situation...
Not one of the planes alerted ground control that they were being hijacked."
How come?
-
- "The fact is, all the transponders were turned
off on the doomed flights virtually at the same time." Look
at their departure times -- two from Logan (Boston), one from Newark,
another from Dulles (Washington DC) -- all between 8 am and 8:15.
-
- "Shortly after climb-out to flight level, their
trans- ponders are de-activated.. (they are no longer a blip on the radar
screens). This is something that really needs to be looked into. The
only reason we turn them off is so they don't interfere with ground systems
when we land."
-
- (NoteTransponders identify a particular aircraft in
flight on the radar screens of FAA flight controllers located throughout
the country. Vari- ous codes are punched into the transponder, one
displaying, "I am being hijacked.")
-
- Although there is much talk among the various flight
crews, Hill says they are not privy to any of the investiga- tions into
the events of I I September. "We're in the dark -- very much so
... They're playing it pretty tight to the vest."
-
- He is convinced none of the pilots had control of their
aircraft when they were flown into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The question then becomes, who was really in control?
-
- "Even if I had a gun at my head, I'd never fly a
plane into a building. I'd try to put it in anywhere -- a field or a
river --and I'd be scaring the hell out of them (the hijackers) by
flying upside down first," Hill said.
-
- In fact, the pilot has the best weapon in his hand when
threatened with imminent death by a hijacker, namely, the airplane.
-
- Another airline pilot stated. "On hearing a
major scuffle in the cabin, the pilot should have inverted the aircraft
and the hijackers end up with broken necks."
-
- That none of the four pilots executed such a maneuver
points toward the fact that none of them had control of their aircraft,
but had been overridden by an outside force, which was flying them by remote
control.
-
- As an old and not so bold pilot, I became more con-
vinced that the four commercial jets were choreographed by a "conductor"
from a central source, namely an airborne warn- ing and control system
(AWACS). They have the electronic capability to engage several aircraft
simultaneously, knock out their on-board flight controls by EMP (electro-magnetic
pulsing) and assume command and remote control of these targeted aircraft.
-
- As we consider all the options -- and enemies -- who
performed this act of war, whether from China, Russia, an Islamic country,
or from NATO, we must also consider that the enemy may be within the
gates.
-
-
- If so, then we are dealing with high treason.
-
- The same source sent another email to me:
-
- Subj OVERVIEW Date 10/23/2001 8:25:56 PM Pacific Daylight
Time
-
-
- OVERVIEW I want to start out by responding to that tiny
percent- age of negative email I receive that accuses me of being anti
American. I'm not. I think America is a great place, and the American
people by and large are to be admired.
-
- What I am against is any government that lies to its
people. This includes the government of the United States which, contrary
to Bill Clinton's comments on the matter, is not the same thing as the
country. The country i s the people. The country is the land. The country
is those who build, teach, heal, grow, manufacture, and along the
way raise a family. The United States is not found in the marble buildings
along the Potomac. The United States i s found in the homes and hearts
of 266 million Americans.
-
- The government, its self delusions of grandeur aside,
is nothing but a custodian, and a temporary one, hired by the people
to care for our nation, and if that custodian fails in that job, like
any menial, they should be replaced. Our nation did just that once before,
in 1776, and it must be remembered that those who were called "Patriot"
were those who stood with the people of the nation, not with the corrupted
government.
-
- There is no provision in the Constitution that author-
izes the government, as custodian of the nation, to lie to the people.
It's just not in there. And yet the government of the United States has
been caught repeatedly lying to the people of the nation in recent years,
lying about Vince Foster , TWA 800 , Waco , Martin Luther King ,
John F. Kennedy , The Oklahoma City Bombing , and others too nu-
merous to mention. Suffice it to say that if the government of the United
States finds itself with a credibility prob- lem, it has only itself to
blame.
-
- When the government of the United States lies to the
people, it acts illegally and un-Constitutionally and by the strict interpretation
of that document ceases to be the legal government of the land. But
let us set that aside for the moment and look at why the US Government
lies to the people and what such lies have accomplished in the past.
Only then can we understand why the reasoning citizen must have serious
doubt we are being told the truth b y the government in the present
case.
-
- Some of the biggest lies told by the government of the
United States are those used to initiate a war. Modern pundits keep
equating the attacks of 9/11 to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
-
- This is a slippery, indeed dangerous analogy, since
it has been proven in recent years, by way of recently declas- sified
documents, that FDR deliberately maneuvered Japan into the attack on
Pearl Harbor and kept the Hawaii comman- ders from knowing of the attack
so that there would be plenty of dead bodies with which to enrage
Americans into support of a war that as of December 6th, 1941, nobody
wanted. American boys, shouting "Remember Pearl Harbor",
marched off to war. Many did not come back.
-
- The Spanish/American war was likewise started with
deception. The Hearst Newspapers flooded the land with stories of
Spanish abuses of the Cuban people; stories which turned out to be fictional
and which were published solely to fan the flames of a war, not for the
benefit of the Cuban people, but to enlarge American territory and influence.
-
- When USS Maine exploded in Havana Harbor, the Captain
of that ship insisted that the explosion was not the result of any attack.
But he was shouted down by the press, and American boys, shouting "Remember
The Maine", marched off to war. Many did not come back. And all because
of a lie. In 1975, a review of the evidence by admiral Hyman Rickover,
the father of the modern nuclear Navy, concluded that there hadn't been
any Spanish mine at all, just as the Maine's Captain had reported.
The ships had suffered a fire in a coal bunker, detonating the ship's
magazine, imprudently located nearby.
-
- The same with the Gulf of Tonkin. Even as Johnson
exhorted the American people to respond to the torpedo attack on
the Maddox, Johnson knew there hadn't really been any torpedoes, not
had the USS Maddox been as innocent a s claimed. American boys again
marched off to war. Many did not come back.
-
- Following the Bay of Pigs, which was by any definition
an invasion of a foreign nation, the US Joint Chiefs pro- posed staging
fake terrorist attacks that would be blamed on Cuba, to build support for
a second invasion.
-
- Of course, there is nothing new about politicians using
terror on their own citizens to get what they want. The trick goes
back to Roman times, and even Hitler found it useful.
-
- So, let's take a moment to push aside those flags being
held in front of our eyes like blindfold and take a close look at the
current situation.
-
- The United States government, despite nice sounding
speeches about freedom and Democracy=20 (sicThis author should have
said Republics) , has a record of overthrowing actual working Democracies=20
(sicThis author should have said Republics) and supporting outright
dictatorships.
-
- The US, for example, backed Cuban Dictator Batista,
Chile's Pinochet, the Shah of Iran, and the dictatorship of Ferdinand
Marcos, to name just a few. The US backed these regimes because the
dictators were willing to do favors for American multi-national corporations.
-
- Batista, for example, kept the prices of Cuban agricul-
tural products below the prevailing market rate. This made American companies
like United Fruit and PepsiCo more prof- itable, at the expense of the
Cuban farmers, who eventually revolted, bringing Castro to power. Castro
let the market set th e price of Cuban produce, whereupon the United
States declared an embargo and invaded at the Bay of Pigs. Then we wonder
why the Cuban people may not like us.
-
- Another classic example of US foreign policy as
it really is was South America. Chile had a working democracy
-
- under Allende. But US corporate interests saw a
greater chance for profits if the Democracy=20 (sicThis author should
have said Republics) were to be replaced by a dicta- tor friendly to US
interests.
-
- This led to the US backed coup, complete with torture
squads trained by US experts. Henry Kissenger flat out stated that
the United States had a right to intervene in any Democracy=20=20 (sicThis
author should have said Repub- lics) that voted contrary to American
interests, adding, "The issues are much too important for the Chilean
voters to be left to decide for themselves."
-
- Same deal in Iran. The US Government backed the Shah
of Iran. The rich got richer, the poor got poorer (same as in the United
States) and the people of Iran revolted, bringing the Ayatollah Khomeini
to power. Iran was our friend, now it's our enemy.
-
- The same with Iraq, once our friend, and now our enemy.
Indeed, the United States keeps switching sides so often, with the
American people expected to follow along like lemmings, that one is
reminded of George Orwell's "1984" in which the perpetually
warring nations are always changing allegiance, and the war weary people
wake up one morning to be told, "Eastasia is our friend. Eastasia
has always been our friend. Pacifica is the enemy."
-
- This brings us to Osama Bin Laden.
-
- Osama is the modern equivalent of Orwell's "Emmanual
Goldstien", the boogie man on whom the government blames everything.
Even though careful observers have long known the United States economy
was poised for a major decline, the media is spinning the current economic
woes as a direct result of the attacks on the World Trade Towers,
in the hopes that the general public will be stupid enough to believe
it.
-
- If Orwell is not to your taste, then let's try L. Frank
Baum and the "Wizard Of Oz", who used a paper mache' mask to
scare Dorothy Gale into doing war with the Wicked Witch of the West,
something farm girls would not normally be wise to do. After all, witches
have air superiority!
-
- Likewise, Osama appears to be a manufactured monster,
designed to scare us into doing things we otherwise would not so,
including support a war, cease criticizing the government, and surrender
our freedoms.
-
- Contrary to the public media image of Osama, he is not
a lifelong religious fanatic. At the time the United States covert intervention
in Afghanistan triggered the Soviet invasion , Osama, like the rest
of his family, was living a westernized lifestyle. One of Osama's brothers
was a busi- ness partner with the son of the then vice-president and
former head of the CIA, George H. W. Bush.
-
- The CIA needed a front man in Afghanistan to oppose the
Soviets, since Vietnam was too fresh a memory for the Ameri- can people
to tolerate another war, especially since the lid had just been blown off
of the COINTELPRO scandal , reveal- ing the criminal actions the FBI
had engaged in to silence opposition to that war.
-
- So, trained and financed by the CIA, Osama quit being
a westernized Saudi and seemingly overnight became a fanatical muslim
and financier/leader of the fight against the Sovi- ets, waging an indirect
war on behalf of the United States. Osama was a creation of the CIA and
we only have the CIA's word that Osama isn't still in their employ.
However, as another CIA asset, David Ferrie, pointed out just prior
to his own assassination, you don't leave the agency. Once you are in,
you are in for life!
-
- Afghanistan is an interesting place. It has natural
gas, petroleum, coal, copper, chromite, talc, barites, sulfur, lead,
zinc, iron ore, salt, precious and semipre- cious stones, and more opium
than the Burmese Golden Trian- gle. It is also one of the most deadly
places on Earth, having destroyed every invading army since the
time of Alexander the Great!
-
- Afghanistan also sits on the proposed route for an oil
pipeline which would allow the vast oil reserves sitting under the
Caspian Sea to be brought to market, and it is no secret that a consortium
of American oil companies want to build that pipeline.
-
- However, as John J. Maresca, vice president of interna-
tional relations, Unocal Corporation, flat out told Congress in 1998,
the pipeline would not be built until the Taliban was removed as the
government in Afghanistan, even though the United States had installed
the Taliban as part of the anti-Soviet strategy.
-
- When one considers the size of the Caspian oil fields,
estimated at about 500 years' worth at present rates of consumption,
one finds ample motive to start a war of con- quest for that wealth.
Compared to the trillions of dollars in oil profits which will flow from
that pipeline stretching across Afghanistan, the cost of new World Trade
Towers and a few thousand lives is a small price to pay to those who lust
for wealth beyond dreams of avarice.
-
- Long before the attacks on the World Trade Towers, the
United States was already announcing that there would be a war. While
the American people were kept distracted by "All Condit All The
Time" in the American press, the foreign press was reporting as
early as March 2001 that the United States was planning to invade Afghanistan
in October. and here it is, October. and here the United States is invading.
and just like with FDR, a provocation occurred just when the government
of the United States most needed one to anger the people into support of
a war for oil.
-
- No sooner had the planes crashed into the World Trade
Towers than the media was reporting official statements of suspicion
that Osama Bin Laden was behind the attacks. The FBI issued names
of suspected hijackers, none of which appeared on the actual passenger
lists, and all based on what the FBI admits were forged IDs using stolen
identities.
-
- Moreover, the men used those stolen identities the
night before the attacks to visit strip bars, making so much noise that
they would have to be noticed, ensuring that the credit card slips using
the stolen names would be turned over to police.
-
- When Flight Attendant Madeline Sweeney phoned the
ground from her hijacked plane, she gave the seat numbers of the hijackers.
The passengers assigned to those seats do not
-
- appear on the FBI's list of suspects. Then there was
tha t suitcase, appearing out of nowhere and assumed to have been left
off of one of the crashed planes by accident, contain- ing a flight manual,
a Koran, and a handwritten letter which any scholar of Islam would recognize
was written b y someone ignorant of the religion.
-
- In short, the evidence that purports to link the at-
tacks on the World Trade Towers with Osama appears to be planted, with
the scene of the crime looking like the set of a cheap detective movie,
with a vital clue always carefully positioned within camera view.
-
- Because of the phony IDs, we do not really know who was
on those airplanes, or who they worked for.
-
- But it is very obvious who we are all supposed
to blame; the people sitting on that oil pipeline right of way!
-
- So great is the rush to war in Afghanistan that Osama
has himself almost become secondary in the media campaign to sell us all
on hatred of the Afghani people.
-
- Indeed it isn't Osama who terrorizes Americans, it
is the American media, waving fear all over the place. Yes, Anthrax
is nasty, but would a real anthrax attack harm so few people? More people
have been gunned down in Washington DC in the last 6 weeks than have
died by anthrax. More people are sick with Dengue fever on Maui than
are sick with Anthrax. Yet Anthrax, and the fear it is designed to cause,
get the headlines, to keep the public scared, so scared that they cannot
think.
-
- Because once the people stop being terrorized by the
media and start to think, they'll realize that it makes no more moral
sense to bomb the Afghani people over what crimes Osama has done than it
makes to bomb people of Chicago over the crimes the mafia does.
-
- And once the American people realize this, they'll
start to wonder what the real reason for bombing the Afghani people might
be. Then they'll start paying attention to John J. Maresca's comments
before congress about that oil pipe- line. Then the American people
will notice those foreign news articles that announced the US invasion
of Afghanistan last spring. Then the American people will realize that
the timing of the attacks on the World Trade Tower s is just a little
too convenient to the already scheduled invasion.
-
- And that is when the American people will realize that,
once again, they are being lied to to swindle them out of their support
for a war, a war not fought for moral princi- ple but for profit, profit
from oil paid for in the blood of our children.
