And another question: AA Flight 77 had
between 56 and 64 passengers and crew members aboard. If it was flown into
the Pentagon then what happened to the bodies? And the passengers'
luggage? No trace of either has ever turned up. In every aircraft crash
there are always corpses (however badly burned). Were any remains of
passengers on AA Flight 77 ever returned to their relatives for burial?
No? Could that be because the passengers on AA Flight 77 did not die in
the attack on the Pentagon? Did they, perhaps, die somewhere else, such as
Pennsylvania?
A more detailed examination of the
question of what hit the Pentagon is available at American Airlines Flight
77.
As for the story which appeared in
Newsweek, etc., about plucky passengers on UA Flight 93 jumping the
hijackers ("OK, let's roll!") — this was almost entirely fictitious,
fabricated by some psy-war operative with training as a two-bit Hollywood
scriptwriter and disseminated with the help of some willing media whore.
The story even has the ultimate terror
of imminent death in the 'reported' (but unheard by you or I) last words
of an airline stewardess. "My God, my God, I see buildings....water!"
Down at the bottom of the Bargain Bin,
in the pulp fiction section of the local charity shop, I can find
dime-a-dozen trashy novels with plenty of "My God, My God..." dialogue.
But the REAL world of actual airline
stewardess has people, not cartoon dumb blondes. They KNOW what New York
looks like from the air ...
She might have said something credible
like: "Jesus Christ! We're gonna hit Manhattan."
But no. "I see buildings...." (...and,
wait for it...) ..pause.. "...water." Check out that pregnant pause in
every publication of the quote. Does that pause feel right to you? Not to
me. The whole thing feels like a ham-fisted effort designed to make us
believe certain things. — Tall Tales of the Wag Movie
It is possible, however, that the part
about the passengers calling on their cell phones has some truth (they
were told to call so as to provide support for the soon-to-be-released
official story; see below in Section 5) — but not the part which has one
of the passengers, Mark Bingham, calling his mother, saying "Hi Mom, this
is Mark Bingham." Note also that in none of the alleged phone calls is
there any mention of hijackers of Middle Eastern origin; no-one said
"Arabs have hijacked the plane". Why not? Because there were no Arab
hijackers.
In fact there is no evidence, except
anecdotal, that any of the doomed passengers made any cellphone call. For
the view that the alleged call by Barbara Olson (who was on Flight AA 77)
to her husband (Ted Olson, the US Solicitor General) was a fabrication, as
were the other stories, see Joe Viall's Mother of All Lies About 9/11.
4. What Actually Happened
In October 2001 two articles appeared
on the web which provided the first clues to what really happened. One was
Carol Valentine's "Operation 911: NO SUICIDE PILOTS". This article drew
attention to the possibility of remote control of a large jet aircraft.
That this technology exists is public knowledge. It was developed by
Northrop Grumman for use in Global Hawk, an automated American military
jet with the wingspan of a Boeing 737. (For further details about Global
Hawk see Operation 911: NO SUICIDE PILOTS.) Since it is possible to
control a Boeing 757 or 767 by means of remote control, might not the jets
which hit the Twin Towers and the Pentagon (assuming that more than one
did) have been remotely controlled? In which case there would be no need
to maintain the improbable hypothesis that the four jets were
simultaneously hijacked by nineteen on-board Arab terrorists.
The other article discussing the
possibility of remote control of Boeing aircraft was Joe Vialls' "Home
Run: Electronically Hijacking the World Trade Center Attack Aircraft".
In the mid-seventies ... two American
multinationals collaborated with the Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA)
on a project designed to facilitate the remote recovery of hijacked
American aircraft. [This technology] ... allowed specialist ground
controllers to ... take absolute control of [a hijacked plane's]
computerized flight control system by remote means. From that point
onwards, regardless of the wishes of the hijackers or flight deck crew,
the hijacked aircraft could be recovered and landed automatically at an
airport of choice, with no more difficulty than flying a radio-controlled
model plane. ... [This was] the system used to facilitate direct ground
control of the four aircraft used in the high-profile attacks on New York
and Washington on 11th September 2001. — Joe Vialls: Home Run:
Electronically Hijacking the World Trade Center Attack Aircraft
But there's a problem with this
theory: Although the technology for the remote control of a Boeing
jetliner certainly exists, and could be installed (if it is not already
standard) on four Boeings, getting all four remotely controllable planes
to take off within an hour of each other would not be easy, and would
require more people with insider knowledge than is advisable (the more
people involved the more chance there is of a mistake, or of information
being leaked). Not only would United Airlines and American Airlines
personnel be needed to coordinate the plane assignments but also four
different teams of remote controllers would be necessary, one for each
remotely hijacked plane.
Considering the stakes involved in an
operation which was intended to kill thousands of U.S. citizens, there
could be no room for error. What was needed was a fool-proof plan, and the
remote hijacking of four planes is a scenario with too many possibilities
for something to go wrong.
The actual plan which was implemented
is amazingly simple when it is finally understood, and it was carried out
almost (but not completely) without a hitch. It was revealed to Carol
Valentine by an informant (as recounted in 9-11: The Flight of the Bumble
Planes).
To put it briefly, a plot was hatched,
not by Arabs, but by so-called Americans (agents of the civilian "state
security and intelligence" agencies and bureaus such as the CIA,
top-ranking officers within the U.S. Air Force and high-level officials
within the U.S. Administration), perhaps with Israeli involvement:
-
to take control of four civilian
airliners
-
to carry out attacks on the Twin
Towers and the Pentagon causing huge loss of life
-
to make it appear that these
airliners were used to carry out the attacks
-
to eliminate the passengers on the
airliners who would not be involved in the operation except as reluctant
witnesses
-
to blame these attacks on "Arab
terrorists" and to use this as a pretext to launch military campaigns
against "enemies of America" in the Middle East and in Asia.
This plot, of course, was not hatched
in a day. In September 2002 a congressional report cited no less than 12
examples of intelligence information on the possible use of airliners as
weapons. They stretch from 1994 to August 2001, when word came of a plot
by Osama bin Laden to fly a plane into the US embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. —
America had 12 warnings of aircraft attack
Sometime during the late 90s the U.S.
state security agencies realized that certain foreign terrorists were
thinking of hijacking planes and crashing them into significant buildings
(naturally the Twin Towers would come first to mind). They might even have
recruited these would-be terrorists. In any case, they helped them along
(covertly, of course), providing money (transmitted via Pakistani ISI
operatives), U.S. visas, introductions to U.S. flying schools and useful
tips. The plan was not for these would-be terrorists to do the job (since
their predecessors had demonstrated their limitations by botching the 1993
attack on the WTC) but rather to be "useful idiots" who could plausibly be
blamed (just as Timothy McVeigh was the "useful idiot" blamed for the
Oklahoma City bombing). The actual operation was far more elaborate than
the would-be hijackers were capable of carrying out, and required
equipment which they did not have and prior access to the Twin Towers
which was not possible for them.
What happened on September 11th was
very likely something close to this (there are variations, as noted
below):
1. Three planes had been made ready by
U.S. military personnel (possibly from NORAD), capable of being controlled
remotely, with no-one on board:
-
A military jet either loaded with
high explosives or carrying missiles or both.
-
An F-16 jet fighter armed with a
missile.
-
A Boeing 767, painted up to look
like a United Airlines jet (call this "Pseudo Flight 175").
In the alternative theory the F-16 is
replaced by an AGM-86C cruise missile capable of being fired from a B-52
and of flying to its target under GPS-guidance, and able upon impact to
generate heat of over 2,000°C.
2. Early on the morning of September
11th Mohammad Atta and some other Arabs board American Airlines and United
Airlines planes under instructions from their CIA or FBI handlers. Atta
and others, some recorded by airport security cameras, will later be
declared to be "the hijackers".
3. The four civilian jet airliners
take off:
-
AA Flight 11, a Boeing 767, leaves
Logan Airport, Boston, at 7:59 a.m. headed for Los Angeles, with between
76 and 81 passengers (about 39% of capacity) and 11 crew members aboard.
(This is the jet which, according to the official story, hit the North
Tower.)
-
AA Flight 77, a Boeing 757, takes
off from Dulles Airport in northern Virginia at 8:10 a.m bound for Los
Angeles, with between 50 and 58 passengers (about 27% of capacity) and
six crew members aboard. (This is the jet which allegedly hit the
Pentagon.)
-
UA Flight 175, a Boeing 767, departs
from Logan Airport, Boston, at 8:13 a.m. for Los Angeles with between 47
and 56 passengers (about 26% of capacity) and nine crew members aboard.
(This is the jet which allegedly hit the South Tower.)
-
UA Flight 93, a Boeing 757,
scheduled to leave Newark Airport at 8:01 a.m. for San Francisco, is
late and does not depart until 8:41 a.m., taking off with between 26 and
38 passengers (about 16% of capacity) and seven crew members on board.
(This is the jet which crashed in Pennsylvania.)
4. Pseudo Flight 175 takes off from
its military base, flying under remote control, and flies so as to
intercept the flight path of UA Flight 175. Radar operators tracking UA
Flight 175 see the two blips merge.
5. A half-hour or so after taking off
the pilots of the four civilian airliners are informed by radio that the
U.S. is under attack by terrorists and that they are to shut down their
transponders and land their planes at a military base in some
north-eastern U.S. state (directions to the base are given).
6. The pilots obey this order and
change course accordingly.
7. Pseudo Flight 175 changes course
toward New York. To radar operators it appears as if UA Flight 175 is now
flying toward Manhattan.
8. The passengers on UA Flight 93 are
led to believe that the plane has been hijacked, and are instructed to use
their cell phones to tell this to their relatives (thus planting fake
evidence which will later be used to support the official story).
9. The military jet takes off under
remote control and (perhaps after intercepting the flight path of AA
Flight 11 to confuse the radar operators) approaches the North Tower at
8:45 a.m., fires missiles into it then crashes into it, detonating
explosives already planted in the building. (George W. Bush watches the
impact on closed circuit television at a school in Florida.)
10. Pseudo Flight 175 approaches
Manhattan under remote control and crashes into the South Tower at 9:03
a.m. Its controllers, not used to remotely controlling the 100 tons of a
Boeing 767, almost miss the tower, but manage to hit it at an angle,
toward one corner. Most of the jet fuel passes through the corner of the
tower and explodes in a huge fireball outside the building. (The approach
of the Boeing 767 and the impact and fireball are recorded by many
cameras.)
11. George W. Bush announces to the
nation that he has made some phone calls and then goes into hiding for
eight hours. He fails to order defensive action by ordering U.S. Air Force
jets from bases near Washington to scramble to intercept the other two
(allegedly hijacked) planes still in the air. No other Air Force officer
orders jets to intercept the planes. Interceptors are finally scrambled an
hour after the first of the commercial jets has gone off course and 45
minutes after the impact at the North Tower.
12. The F-16 jet fighter (see 1.
above), under remote control, flies at high speed toward Washington D.C.
(perhaps after crossing the flight path of AA Flight 77), descends to near
ground level, makes a horizontal approach to the Pentagon, fires a missile
which produces a huge explosion at the outer wall of the Pentagon, then
itself crashes into the building (at 9:38 a.m.), its engine penetrating
several rings of the Pentagon.
In the alternative theory it is an
AGM-86C cruise missile which strikes the Pentagon.
It crossed several of the building
rings of the Pentagon, creating in each wall it pierced a progressively
bigger hole. ... When traversing the first ring of the Pentagon, the
object set off a fire, as gigantic as it was sudden. — Who was Behind the
September 11th Attacks?
13. Meanwhile (by sometime between
9:15 a.m. and 9:45 a.m.) all four AA and UA jets have landed at the
military base to which they were directed. The 199 (later listed)
passengers and crew from AA Flight 77, AA Flight 11 and UA Flight 175 are
herded onto UA Flight 93, where they join the 33 (later listed) passengers
and crew, for a total of 232 people. Explosives are loaded on board.
14. The South Tower collapses (at 9:59
a.m.) in a controlled demolition, 56 minutes after impact.
15. Sometime around 10:00 or 10:15
a.m. UA Flight 93 takes off from the military base (either under remote
control or under the control of a military pilot unaware of his fate) and
flies toward Washington in a fake "terrorist attack".
16. The North Tower collapses (at
10:29 a.m.) also in a controlled demolition, 1 hour and 44 minutes after
impact.
17. Either explosives on board UA
Flight 93 are detonated, or the jet is blown apart by a missile fired by a
U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter jet, over Pennsylvania (at 10:37 a.m., almost
two hours after it took off from Newark Airport).
Pennsylvania state police officials
said on Thursday debris from the plane had been found up to 8 miles away
(from the crash site) in a residential community [Indian Lake] where local
media have quoted residents as speaking of a second plane in the area
[this was the F-16] and burning debris falling from the sky. — Reuters,
Sept. 13, as quoted in Troubling Questions in Troubling Times
All passengers and crew from all four
"hijacked" planes, perhaps or perhaps not including those 34 (later
unlisted) passengers (including Mohammad Atta) who are part of the
operation, are in this way eliminated.
18. The outer wall of the impact site
at the Pentagon is caused to collapse (so that the small size of the hole
in the wall caused by the impacting object would no longer be visible).
19. Around midday the media whores
begin to disseminate the story that this "terrorist attack" was
masterminded by Usama bin Laden.
20. Around 5 p.m. the building known
as WTC 7 collapses in a controlled demolition.
21. Misled by the mainstream media a
shocked and outraged American public demands revenge against the
perpetrators, whom they assume to be Arab Muslim fundamentalists.
22. George W. Bush announces his "War
on Terrorism" and the Pentagon swings into action to implement its
previously-prepared plans to bomb Afghanistan (into submission to U.S. oil
interests).
Of course, some of the details of this
account may turn out to be wrong, but overall it appears to be the most
likely explanation of the events of September 11th and (in contrast to the
official story) is consistent with all the evidence and is contradicted by
none. Only a full and impartial investigation of what happened on
September 11th will reveal the truth, but the Bush administration (fearing
the consequences when the American people find out what actually happened
and who was behind it) has done everything it can to prevent such an
inquiry from taking place.
The CIA has always maintained as a
matter of historical record that it has never murdered an American citizen
on American soil. If, as a result of Eric Olson's persistence in trying to
uncover what really happened to his father [Dr Frank Olson, a U.S. Army
scientist], and the investigating skills of public prosecutor Saracco,
this turns out to be a lie, it could well be the beginning of the end of
the Agency.
— THE OLSON FILE: A secret that could
destroy the CIA
Similarly if the CIA can be shown to
have been involved in the murder of the 200 or so passengers (most of them
American citizens) on the four Boeing jets, who died when UA Flight 93
exploded in the sky over Pennsylvania, then the Agency will be finished
(and none too soon either).
On the side the plotters purchased put
options for companies whose stocks were sure to be adversely affected by
these events, such as the parent companies of the airlines whose planes
are believed to have been hijacked. Their intention was to make a killing,
so to speak, by purchasing the right to sell stocks in these companies at
a price which they knew would be considerably higher than the price they
could buy them at on the open market (after the September 11th attack had
driven the prices down).
September 6-7, 2001 — 4,744 put
options (a speculation that the stock will go down) are purchased on
United Air Lines stock as opposed to only 396 call options (speculation
that the stock will go up). This is a dramatic and abnormal increase in
sales of put options. Many of the UAL puts are purchased through
Deutschebank/AB Brown, a firm managed until 1998 by the current Executive
Director of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard. — Suppressed Details of
Criminal Insider Trading Lead Directly into the CIA's Highest Ranks
Despite an SEC investigation, the identity of those who purchased these
put options has so far not been revealed.
5. Evidence for Explosives in the
Twin Towers
Millions of people around the world
watched the WTC events unfold live on CNN on September 11th, 2001, in
near-disbelief. They saw huge clouds of smoke billowing over Manhattan and
saw the towers collapse ... in a curious way. They did not fall over; they
imploded, in the way that most people have seen when a building is
destroyed in a controlled demolition: the building does not collapse in a
chaotic way, hurling debris over a wide area; rather it collapses upon
itself. This was how the WTC towers collapsed.
That the towers were demolished in a
controlled manner was noted immediately by some astute observers:

Subject: WTC bombing
Ok, is it just me, or did anyone else recognize that it wasn't the
airplane impacts that blew up the World Trade Center? To me, this is the
most frightening part of this morning. ...
If you watch the time sequence, you'll
see that it happens like this:
-
A plane hits tower #1, blowing a
hole in it high up. The expected things then happen:
-
The building stays up. A reinforced
concrete building is *extremely* strong. Terrorists set off a large bomb
*inside* that building without significant damage. ...
-
The second plane hits the second
tower, lower and moving faster. It blows a bigger hole through it,
showering debris on the street, but the building is clearly still
standing and still looks quite solid.
-
The second building begins burning,
also from the impact point up.
-
Perhaps a half hour later, the fire
in the first building *goes out*. It is still smouldering and letting
off black smoke, but there is no flame. ...
-
The fire in the second building goes
out.
-
Then, later, the second building
suddenly crumbles into dust, in a smooth wave running from the top of
the building (above the burned part) down through all the stories at an
equal speed. The debris falls primarily inward. The tower does not break
off intact and collapse into other buildings. ... The crumbling comes
from the top (above the damage). It moves at a uniform rate. All of the
structural members are destroyed in a smooth pattern, so there is no
remaining skeleton. The damage is uniform, symmetric, and total.
In summary, it looks exactly like a
demolition — because that's what it is.
There's no doubt that the planes hit
the building and did a lot of damage. But look at the footage — those
buildings were *demolished*. To demolish a building, you don't need all
that much explosive but it needs to be placed in the correct places (in
direct contact with the structural members) and ignited in a smooth, timed
sequence. ...

This message was posted to the
internet on September 11th, within hours of the collapse of the Twin
Towers. Right from the beginning, some people were not deceived.
Initially the explosives theory
suffered from the problem that the mainstream media did not report that
anyone heard explosions just prior to the WTC collapse. But in the last
year reports have surfaced, and there is now even video evidence available
to anyone which shows that explosions actually did occur within the Twin
Towers prior to their collapse.
Television viewers watching the
horrific events of Sept. 11 saw evidence of explosions before the towers
collapsed. Televised images show what appears to be a huge explosion
occurring near ground level, in the vicinity of the 47-story Salomon
Brothers Building, known as WTC 7, prior to the collapse of the first
tower.
... One eyewitness whose office is
near the World Trade Center told AFP that he was standing among a crowd of
people on Church Street, about two-and-a-half blocks from the South tower,
when he saw "a number of brief light sources being emitted from inside the
building between floors 10 and 15." He saw about six of these brief
flashes, accompanied by "a crackling sound" before the tower collapsed.
Each tower had six central support columns.
One of the first firefighters in the
stricken second tower, Louie Cacchioli, 51, told People Weekly on Sept.
24: "I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get
in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We
think there were bombs set in the building."
Kim White, 32, an employee on the 80th
floor, also reported hearing an explosion. "All of a sudden the building
shook, then it started to sway. We didn't know what was going on," she
told People. "We got all our people on the floor into the stairwell ... at
that time we all thought it was a fire ... We got down as far as the 74th
floor ... then there was another explosion." — Eyewitness Reports Persist
Of Bombs At WTC Collapse
A Danish website offers a 4-hour video
containing visual evidence of what happened on September 11th which has
been suppressed or ignored by the mainstream media:
Video Clips of the falling Towers were
often edited in a manner that prevented the TV viewers in getting the
"Full picture" of the entire tower collapse. ... During my 1000 hours of
video investigation I have found only very few of such "Full picture long
distance shots" which showed the entire tower (from top to bottom). Most
of the video-clips we saw on Sept. 11 (and in the weeks that followed)
would be edited versions ... [which] did not give any evidence of the
numerous "clouds" from EXPLODING Bombs "popping out of the windows" of the
WTC facade far below the crash level of the collapsing tower. ... Someone
in the "editing rooms" did not want to give us the "Full Picture"!
But some crucial BOMB video evidence
did in fact get out! In my video I will show you 5 significant "DUST
CLOUDS" from Demolition Bombs exploding INSIDE the WTC Towers. These "Bomb
Clouds" were located circa 20 and 40 levels BELOW the "Crash level" of the
falling Towers. ... [T]hey give full evidence of a Distinct Demolition
Bomb being exploded FAR BELOW the "Crash-Point-level". — Bombs Inside the
World Trade Center
And it was not only the Twin Towers
which were demolished deliberately but also the building known as WTC
Seven.
Not detailed in the monopoly press,
some fire-fighters who survived Black Tuesday, contend there were
explosions in the buildings, in a portion of the twin World Trade Center
towers, separate and apart from the impact of the planes hitting the
buildings. ... Were within-the-buildings explosives remotely triggered off
to collapse the towers like done with old buildings? And there are good
reasons to believe that within-the-building explosives caused the
mysterious collapse, late on the evening of Black Tuesday, of World Trade
Center Building 7. — Sherman H. Skolnick: The Overthrow of the American
Republic, Part 14
