- The scene: WABC Radio, New York. This is where Rush
Limbaugh made his reputation and where Sean Hannity and a host of national
talk radio personalities hold court Monday through Friday.
The time: Saturday, August 4, about 6 p.m. We walk through the enormous
17th floor studio. Here is the "golden EIB microphone through which
Rush once communicated to his more than twenty million listeners before
moving to Florida. We will not reach that many on the John & Paul
weekend show--the first national establishment media personalities willing
to explore the Flight 800 issue"but no audience in America is bigger
at this time of day.
Kudos to John and Paul, brave souls both, for accepting this challenge.
Expectations are high. Whistleblowers, we are told, are coming forward
to provide the hard evidence we need to prove beyond doubt the criminal
cover-up of the Flight 800 investigation.
The producer takes us into an empty studio for a briefing. The first part
of the four-hour program will be a review of known facts for the listening
audience. Paul Angelides and Mike Wire, two highly credible eyewitnesses,
will represent those hundreds of other eyewitnesses who have been marginalized
by the government. Among the other insults borne by those bold enough
to speak out are "stupid" and "lowest of the low""and
these from prominent federal officials.
Don Nibert is to follow. Don,s daughter, Cheryl, was one of sixteen high
schoolers and five chaperones from the forever-saddened small town of Montoursville,
PA to die on that tragic flight. Unconvinced by government explanations,
Don brought expert witness Glen Schulze to the NTSB to discuss the missing
4-seconds from the flight data recorder. Glen Schulze will join us as
well.
Three retired commercial airline pilots, each with significant aircraft
crash investigative experience, will also appear. There will be much information
to squeeze in before the red meat is offered up--the whistleblowers with
first hand knowledge--that missile-fire brought down Flight 800.
At the briefing before the show, we are told that the lineup is still in
flux. Sensitivities within the world of intelligence require a continuing
embargo on at least part of what the whistleblowers promise to deliver.
We continue to hope for a limited exposure of anxiously awaited documentation.
Over the next three hours leading up to show-time, the seemingly enormous
suite of offices and studios at our disposal grows smaller and smaller
as additional witnesses, bereaved family members, lawyers, public relations
specialists, and various board ops and button pushers crowd in to observe
the coming show.
There is lots of kibitzing about "friendly fire versus "terrorist.
This is not the argument that we, Cashill and Sanders, want to pursue.
The goal of our partnership from the beginning has been to present compelling
evidence of illegal obstruction within the government investigation. Indeed,
as we have shown, virtually all salient evidence has been altered, destroyed,
lost, withheld or even manufactured.
Throughout our shared investigation we have stuck relentlessly to what
we can prove. This has made our work all the more threatening to those
who oppose our investigation. They would love to discredit us. This we
know. The argument as to who pulled the trigger only gives them ammunition
and removes the focus from where, at this stage, it belongs.
John and Paul are committed to the proposition that terrorist missile-fire
is the only reasonable explanation for the loss of TWA Flight 800. We
know that our email will question us as to why we do not balance the terrorist
position with evidence of friendly fire. But again, this is one fight
we choose to avoid"at least for now.
A last minute briefing by the hosts diminishes hope of any meaningful whistleblower
activity on the program. We remind the hosts that the show has promised
a good deal more than it is about to deliver. Not to worry, we are told.
Documents are in hand that will dramatically move the issue forward, even
in the absence of warm bodies from within government.
Now, it is show time. The pace is fast. Witnesses, experts and family
members deliver a hard message, one that stuns the uninitiated in the audience.
Our side has enough talk show exposure to avoid the mind-numbing minutia
that we, in private, love to discuss. The first three hours are almost
at an end when the hosts shove a pile of documents over to Sanders during
a commercial break.
Sanders scans the documents and asks where the HOT document is. A four-page
document is identified. Sanders reviews it and tells the hosts that they
have a problem. The document does not support what is supposed to be revealed
in the last hour of the program. In the middle of these intense few moments,
the advertisement ends and the microphones go hot once again.
It is a long, painful ten-minute countdown to midnight and the next break.
When that break arrives, there are only seven minutes of news and ads
in which to identify the problem and solve it--or find something else to
fill the final hour of the program.
The hosts storm into the control room where the producer holds court. Has
an incomplete set of documents been faxed to the hosts? Or perhaps the
wrong documents? Left unsaid inside the control room is the ever-present
concern that these documents have been sent by someone who intends to destroy
the hosts credibility after the documents are used on-air.
The producer begins to dial the phone. He's not a bashful person. In
fact, he is a take-charge sort of guy even by the hyper standards of New
York City.
A mad scramble ensues. The producer searches for the right phone line
to Mr. X, who is supposed to possess the documents that have to be in studio
before John and Paul can assure the listeners that the information in their
possession is powerful.
Seven minutes of advertisement fly by in about fifteen seconds. The hosts,
adrenaline pumping, fly back into the studio and improvise while the producer,
amazingly, reaches through the phone lines and throws an anti-terrorist
expert into the breach while the scramble continues to obtain the requisite
documents needed to move the Flight 800 issue forward before the show ends.
The hosts, on air, have said they will identify the Stinger-type missile
that brought down Flight 800. The serial number will be revealed. The
documents in-hand can not do that. Had those documents been quoted on
air, the well-oiled disinformation machine would have had ample fodder
to discredit those who challenge the government, most notably the stalwart
hosts along with Cashill and Sanders.
The disaster is prevented, but the documents providing accurate serial
numbers do not appear through the fax machine. The program ends.
The claim has been made on establishment media--WABC radio, New York--that
devastating documentation of terrorist missile-fire does exist. Will the
documents be forwarded to the talk radio hosts?
-
-
- Will the documents, if provided, be able to withstand
scrutiny in a civil court setting? Has the cover-up really begun to unravel
from within?
Or has a new disinformation effort, seen so many times in past cover-ups,
been narrowly avoided. We will not have to wonder long. The answer will
soon be obvious. The worldnetdaily audience will be the first to know.
And in the meantime, we apologize for the distraction and thank you for
your continued support.

- A Note From James Sanders -
-
- The last few weeks have been one of the most interesting
and challenging investigative periods of my life. I am either descending
into Dante's inferno, headed for the 7th circle of hell, or towards a resolution
of the Flight 800 issue, in civil court and the public's mind.
-
- When Jack Cashill and I teamed up to move forward on
the Flight 800 issue, we decided to remove friendly fire versus terrorist
from our analysis--unless, of course, irrefutable first-hand evidence fell
into our laps. We continue to believe our contribution to resolving this
issue is to remain focused on the evidentiary portion of the issue; i.e.
criminal acts committed to obstruct justice.
-
- Therefore, in the coming days, weeks and months, if the
friendly fire versus terrorist debate heats up--and we strongly believe
it will--we will not join the battle on either side. We have one clear
goal--to establish that missile-fire brought down TWA Flight 800, the government
knew from the beginning who pulled the trigger and covered it up, obstructed
justice, raped the Constitution and prolonged the agony of 230 families
who deserved the truth from the beginning.
-
- To pick a side would seriously undermine our ability
to work with the forces currently gathering strength on both sides of friendly
v. terrorist. When the Infidel has had a wooden stake driven through its
heart at sunrise, then it will be time to dissolve into splinter groups
and forever debate friendly v. terrorist.
