  • It's been over 17-years, but for those old enough to remember, September 11th, 2001 is a day we will never forget.

    An airline pilot can instantly send a hijack alert by a number of methods, including a button on the joystick. On 9/11 four airliners went rogue yet none of the eight pilots sent an alert.
    Flight 11, Boston-LA, diverted N shortly after take-off and, at the edge of a large "radar corridor" (an area beyond FAA and NORAD mechanical radar coverage), the on-board transponder (which sends flight data such as identity, altitude, and GPS position to air-traffic control) was switched off.
    The plane then reappeared on radar, turned SE, and crossed paths with Flight 175, Boston-LA, before going on to hit the North Tower of the World Trade Centre at 8:46 (a flash of light glinted from the plane's nose a split second before impact). Flight 175 continued SW until, at 8:47, it passed in close proximity to Flight 93, Newark-San Francisco, whose take-off had been delayed by 25 minutes. Just before the closest point of approach 175's transponder was switched off, the plane then swung around and flew NE to hit the South Tower at 9:03 (another ray of light shone from the plane's nose a split second before it hit its target). Flight 93, after diverting N to meet 175, proceeded W at cruising altitude and entered a large radar hole near Cleveland.
    Flight 77, Washington DC-LA, flew 300 W after take-off passing through a substantial N-S radar corridor over W Virginia. 77 turned, its transponder was switched off, and it re-entered radar darkness heading E.
    The plane then appeared on radar, flew all the way back to DC and looped to hit the newly renovated, reinforced west wedge of the Pentagon at 9:37 killing a number of accountants and destroying their paperwork (all CCTV footage of the impact was then seized by the FBI and has never been released).
    After flying W for 45 minutes Flight 95 was finally warned - by a United dispatcher acting on his own initiative - "Beware any cockpit intrusion" (9:23-24). Three minutes later the first spurious cellphone call (from 35,000 ft) was received, "Our plane has been hijacked ... call the authorities" (the resultant 9-1-1 calls would help establish the 93 crash site as an FBI crime scene). At 9:27 the pilot replied, "Ed, confirm latest message please - Jason". One minute later 93 dropped 700 ft and the pilot yelled over the radio "Mayday" and "Hey get out of here, get out of here - get out of here" (no formal hijack alert was sent). At 9:32 air-traffic control were informed, "We have a bomb on board". The jetliner turned S. A flight attendant contacted UA by Airfone at 9:36 and notified them of the hijacking. At 9:39 air-traffic control were warned once again "We have a bomb aboard". With its hijack status clearly established 93's transponder was switched off and it re-entered radar darkness heading for Washington DC. Incredibly, the Defence Department claim that they were unaware of Flight 93 until 10:07 - one minute after the 9/11 attack.
    "An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft ... The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone.... From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB ... When over Cuba the drone will begin transmitting on the international distress frequency a 'MAY DAY' message stating he is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft." Department of Defence, Operation Northwoods, March 1962
    Drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and submitted to Defence Secretary Robert McNamara on 13 March 1962, the DOD's Top Secret Operation Northwoods proposal - for false flag attacks on American civilian and military targets to be used as the pretext for a war on Cuba - was rejected by President John F Kennedy. Among the possible scenarios outlined in "brief but precise" detail was a fiendish plane-swap deception involving the replacement of a "chartered civil airliner" with an exact duplicate. Passengers would board the mock-up at a regular airport and the plane would take off as normal. The original registered aircraft would be converted to a drone at a secret-state facility. At a pre-planned position the two would rendezvous, the piloted aircraft - carrying a black-ops team "boarded under carefully prepared aliases" - would descend below radar and head to an "auxiliary field" at a nearby Air Force base. The original airliner, under remote control, would continue along the duplicate's flight path until, at a suitable location, it would be blown out of the sky by "Cuban MIGs" (i.e. on-board explosives remotely detonated). Retrieved in 1997 under Freedom of Information laws by a federal agency dealing with documents related to the assassination of President Kennedy, the Defence Department's preliminary Northwoods proposal - "suitable for planning purposes" - also recommended planting aircraft debris and phoney evidence at crash sites and called for the development of a "Communist Cuban terror campaign" within US cities to be blamed on Cuban agents and refugees.
    "three males appearing to be Iranian ... dark-skinned with red bandanas on their heads ... two in the cockpit and a third had a red belt with a box that constituted some kind of a bomb." A synthesized cellphone call from Flight 93 ("Cellphones don't work at five or six miles of altitude. That's why airlines were only introducing pico-cell technology to enable them to do so in 2006/7", Rowland Morgan, Flight 93 Revealed)
    During a 2004 Christmas Eve address to US forces in Baghdad Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld actually said: "the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania." The one eyewitness to 93's ostensible "crash" was Lee Purbaugh, a scrap-metal worker hired only the day before: "I saw it rock from side to side then, suddenly, it dipped and dived, nose first, with a huge explosion, into the ground." According to the 9/11 Commission Report - based on flight data supplied by the Pentagon and FBI - 93 supposedly rolled over at 580 mph and then "crashed" upside down. Three "loud bangs" were heard and 12 witnesses reported seeing an unmarked white fighter-jet circling overhead. A C-130 cargo plane was also seen and is officially acknowledged to have been in the area. Several boxes of "surprisingly intact mementos of lives lost" were recovered from the Shanksville crater site and main Indian Lake debris field some 3 miles to the east (a hijacker's Lebanese passport and Cripps-style red bandana were also retrieved). Leading seismologists, using consolidated data from four seismic survey stations in the area, fixed the origin time of the Shanksville 9/11 shockwave to 10:06:05 +/- 5 seconds. According to the official story, however, the plane "crashed" at 10:03.
    "What? Up, down. Ahh. Ahh. Unintelligible. Ahh. Shut them off. Shut them off. Go. Go. Move. Move. Turn it up. Down, down. Pull it down. Pull it down. Down. Push, push, push, push, push. Hey. Hey. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Unintelligible. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. No. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest." Flight 93 cockpit voice recorder (CVR) transcript, 10:01:41-10:03:09
    A different version of Flight 93's CVR was played to bereaved relatives in August 2002. Apparently, the earlier version ended with the voice of a male passenger at the controls and Tom Burnett (the first synthesized cellphone caller) could be clearly heard: "When she heard her husband's voice, Deena immediately locked eyes with her mother-in-law, Beverly Bernett, and they held hands and wept. 'We had not heard his voice in eight months at that point and just immediately began to cry', Deena says", "The Burnetts", USA Today, 9/11/2002. "Let's Roll" - the Pentagon's Muslim-killing war slogan - was supposedly uttered by evangelical Christian Todd Beamer as he rushed forward to battle Arab Islamists in an upside down plane with other American heroes while NORAD staged attacks and played war games in Canada. A Verizon Airfone operator reputedly overheard the recruitment catchphrase via a dangling receiver after a teary, unrecorded phone conversation with "Todd". (Verizon Corporation signed a $1.4 billion telecoms deal with the Bush neocon criminals and their deranged Pentagon politicals soon after the 2000 election grab.)
    "a number of regimes remain deeply hostile to America - North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria ... a new Pearl Harbor ... remove these regimes from power and conduct post-combat stability operations.... multiple, simultaneous theatre wars ... service budgets must return to the [Cold War] level of approximately $90 to $95 billion ... further NATO expansion ... Raising U.S. military strength in East Asia is the key to coping with the rise of China to great-power status.... a new family of nuclear weapons designed to address new sets of military requirements ... Over the long term, Iran may well prove as large a threat to U.S. interests in the Gulf as Iraq has.... advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes ... budget levels to be increased to 3.5 to 3.8 percent of GDP.... a system of global missile defences ... a galaxy of surveillance satellites ... Control of space and cyberspace.... If defense budgets remain at projected levels, America's global military preminence will be impossible to maintain, as will the world order that is secured by that pre-eminence." The Project for a New American Century, Rebuilding America's Defences, September 2000
