Strange Tales From 9/11 - Part 2

   We all make and break plans at the drop of a hat and no one bats an eyelid on any ordinary day. 9/11 was no ordinary day though. If somebody happens to escape fate or has a bad feeling before hand, can we call these predictions? And what if we see a foreshadowed scenario presented  months in advance? Is it still a prediction or mere coincidence? As I discussed in part one, coincidence is a funny thing. You can literally account for everything with coincidence, but when the coins keeps coming up heads, it does make you wonder…

   Some aspects of 9/11 have almost become Urban Legends now. For some, they stretch the credibility of a serious investigation into the events. For others, they are the Rosetta Stone of a more esoteric truth. It seems that the 1995, trading-card game: "Illuminati: New World Order" (Steve Jackson Games) kicked it all off. The game features a number of cards that show some of the exact same events of 9/11: explosions at the Pentagon, the WTC and smoke rising from the Twin Towers (oddly this card is labelled “Population Reduction“!). Speculation deepened when people became aware of the storyline of The Lone Gunmen pilot episode, which involved a U.S. government conspiracy plot to crash an electronically hijacked Boeing 727 into the WTC and blame it on foreign terrorists in order to provoke war and increase the military's budget.  The episode pre-dated 9/11 by at least 18 months. Since then, many have found significance in numerous aspects of pop culture that came before the fateful day.

   In July, 2001, the Oakland based rap group, The Coup, released 'Party Music' in which the front cover shows their lead singer, Boots Riley, holding a detonator and blowing up the World Trade Centre, whilst The band “I Am the World Trade Centre” released 'Out of the Loop' in which the 11th track on their album is entitled "September". Even The Simpsons and big budget disaster movies like Armageddon have people looking carefully. Some cant help but point the finger when they witness an example of the numerological significance of 9-1-1 in relation to New York City or The Towers seen to be hit by an object or on fire.

   On September 6, 2001, English teacher, Antoinette DiLorenzo, noticed a freshman staring out of the window toward lower Manhattan. “What are you looking at?”, she said. The youth made a remark about the World Trade Centre “not being there next week”. The teacher didn’t immediately think much of it, though it stuck in her mind. Whatever you make of this, there are possibly more subtle signs to be found in the time, placement and activities of individuals on 9/11.

The ill-fated John O'Neill

   On September 10, 2001, Deputy for Command Centre Operations Army Brigadier General Montague Winfield asked a rookie Navy Captain (Charles Leidig, Jr) to take temporary command of the National Military Command Centre (NMCC) at The Pentagon for the period of 9/11. The same day, John O'Neill began his first day of work at the WTC, as head of security! O'Neill had recently retired as chief of international terrorism operations for the FBI, where he had been responsible for supervising investigations into the bombing of the USS Cole and the 1998 attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania… All events with ‘alleged’ connections to Osama Bin Laden.

Salman Rushdie
   In June 2001, Attorney General John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial aircrafts following, what the Justice Department called, a “threat assessment” by the FBI. He was advised to fly only by  private jet for the next three months. On September 3, Salman Rushdie was banned from taking internal flights. He thought officials were aware of an imminent terrorist strike and said that the FAA told his publisher it had intelligence of “something about to happen“.

   September 10, 2001 and a group of top Pentagon officials cancelled their travel plans for the next morning because of security concerns.  On the same day, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown received a travel warning from his “security people at the airport… advising him that Americans should be cautious about their air travel”. According to a report on Pacifica Radio in 2003, it was stated that Condoleezza Rice gave Mayor Brown the warning!

   Again on the same day, President George Bush met Australian Prime Minister John Howard at the Washington Navy Yard to hand over the bell from USS Canberra. Amongst those in attendance was Mackenzie Gregory, a survivor of the sunken Australian Canberra. Staff from the Australian Embassy cancelled his reserved flight for the next day and re-scheduled his flight to coincide with the Prime Minister's attendance at a wreath-laying ceremony in Arlington.  He was witnessed turning to Australian Prime Minister John Howard and saying, "See you tomorrow at Arlington".  President Bush even broke ranks to personally meet Mr Gregory, with Mr Bush ordering a three-star marine general to photograph himself with Mr Gregory, his wife and Prime Minister John Howard. His original plane was Flight 77 that ‘hit‘ The Pentagon...

   At 8am, Flight 93 pushed back from Newark Airport's Gate A17 after passengers reportedly boarded the plane via the terminal's boarding ramp, however a NY Giants football player, who's team's plane landed around 6:45am, says he saw people boarding a plane parked next to his from the tarmac which he was later told was Flight 93.

   Bernard Brown Jnr,  a young passenger on Flight 77 that was participating in a field trip, talked to his father about dying before his flight.  His father told him "don't be afraid to die because we all are going to die someday".  Bernard's father, Navy Chief Petty Officer Bernard Brown Sr., took a "rare day off" from work that day to play golf.  Bernard's dad worked at the Pentagon in the same wing that was ‘hit’  by Flight 77.  The wife of David Kovalcin, an engineer for Raytheon who would be on Flight 11, said her husband woke her up in the middle of the night complaining he couldn't sleep and that he seemed "very distressed" but she didn't know why.  He would leave a note for his wife and two daughters Tuesday morning saying "I will miss everybody very much". Many have lambasted the truth community for their “callousness” in even discussing these particular accounts. If true, the implications are chilling…

   In a twist of fate, Pentagon economist, Bryan Jack, may have lived if he was at his Pentagon office and not on Flight 77. Of the 27 people working in the hit area of The Pentagon, 26 were killed and one was spared when his dental appointment at the Pentagon's dental clinic was moved up earlier in the day causing him to be absent from the office at the time.

   Duchess Sarah Ferguson was headed to WTC just before the events. Jackie Chan was due to shoot on the roof of the WTC and excused due to a late script. Creator of Family Guy Seth MacFarlane missed Flight 11 due to a typo on his itinerary. Real World New Orleans cast member Julie Stoffer missed Flight 11 due to a fight with her boyfriend. The infamous Larry Silverstein (of WTC7 notoriety) was absent from his office on the 88th floor of the North Tower because of a "doctors appointment" and his son and daughter were also “running late”. President Bush's cousin, Jim Pierce, avoided death at WTC due to a "schedule change" the night before…

Of course, all of this could just be a ton of coincidences. Many people doing so many things that day… It was bound to happen here and there.

But I do wonder about this analogy of a coin or penny that keeps coming up heads…
How long before we stop calling it ALL coincidence?
How long before ‘the penny drops’?!

Strange Tales From 9/11 - Part 1

   Imagine that you flipped a coin several hundred times in succession and it came up heads every single time. Or maybe you got tails a handful of times, but the vast majority was heads… Aside from being a pretty lucky person, would it be an occurrence that you could consign to the realm of pure coincidence? The odds of it happening are not statistically impossible, but it would a rare, possibly freak, occurrence. 9/11 is a lot like that particular coin analogy. There are little pieces of fact pertaining to that day that cannot be categorised into any evidential category. The only box in which they belong is “coincidence”. But what if, like the coin, it is followed by another odd coincidence… and another… and another… When do you stop viewing this huge number of oddities as merely coincidences and ask if they are signs of something more?

   Here, I am going to assemble some of the more interesting oddities surrounding 9/11. It is by no means a wholly inclusive list (as listing them all here would take forever and there are new ones being discovered every day!), it is simply an example of the more ‘strange’ aspects of 9/11. These aspects have been analysed endlessly by the Truth community, for their significance. Is it a huge number of mere coincidences or a collective portent of prior knowledge or foresight? You decide…


   Aside from numerous examples, including: FEMA's "Emergency Response to Terrorism" booklet (1997) and the U.S. Department of Justice/National Sheriffs’ Association's participant manual “Managing Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents:  An Executive Level Program for Sheriffs” (funded by the Department Of Homeland Security and produced in June 2000), which both show the WTC targeted by a gun scope’s cross-hairs, it is possible that those in positions of power may have had other, more unconventional, premonitions.

   On the morning of September 11, 1941, a groundbreaking ceremony took place to officially begin construction of The Pentagon. The attack on The Pentagon took place 60 years to the day (almost to the hour) of the groundbreaking ceremony! On September 5 (six days before 9/11), Donald Rumsfeld asked the Senate to approve the D.O.D. 's 2002 budget request. It was to be the largest defence spending increase since the latter days of the Cold War.  There he talked about the importance of U.S. homeland defence, warned about the threats of terrorism and missile attacks, and later reported that he was confident that his budget request would pass. Rumsfeld also had a list of  “Rules” that he had distilled from 50 years of service. On January 30, 2001 (5 days after taking his office), he posted these rules on the D.O.D. official website. The rules were removed in October 2002. These rules were only ever modified once… on September 10, 2001. Twenty four hours before 9/11, Rumsfeld added one single new rule: “America ain’t what’s wrong with the world”. Let us also not forget, that on this exact same day, Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon had lost track of $2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS of military spending.

   Four days before 9/11, George Bush’s brother Jeb Bush signed a two year executive order (01-261) placing Florida under a state of emergency. With the Bush family under the spotlight, it is also interesting to point out that Marvin Bush joined Securacom's board of directors, a security firm who has previously done security studies for WTC, Dulles and United. The company eventually became Stratesec and provided security at the World Trade Centre from 1995 to 2001 (right up to the towers collapsed).

   The day before 9/11, Bush senior (Ex CIA director, former President, and President Bush's Dad) was in Washington D.C. at a Carlyle Group business conference (The Carlyle Group is inextricably linked to 9/11, just google the name!) and continued such meetings on the morning of 9/11. Present at all these meetings was Carlyle investor and Bush family friend: Shafig Bin Laden, brother of Osama Bin Laden.
It is also well documented that the Bin Laden Family websites, emails, links and domain names were due to expire on Sept 11 2001.


   On the subject of websites and technology, the  U.S. government deployed an anti-terrorism taskforce on September 5, 2001, to pull the plug on over 500 websites (many with Arab and Muslim connections). Some people have even placed significance on the Microsoft Wingding fonts of the period. It became something of a net phenomenon when it was discovered that words and names related to 9/11, typed out using Wing Ding and Web Ding fonts,  showed  a ‘possible code’. The rumours were later debunked, however some key 9/11 words still show oddities in the font, for example: NYC, NEW YORK and OSAMA BIN LADEN. Some have continued to highlight the significance, given the connections between Microsoft and the ‘Agenda’ corporatocracy.

   On the subject of such business connections, it is also strange that at least half a dozen of the passengers on the ‘alleged’ planes used on 9/11, were employed by Ratheon: a company with intricate links to the US Air Force and Boeing, AND responsible for numerous technological advances in aviation including GPS guidance and systems that allowed for precision approach and landing of pilot-less aircraft.

   Whilst discussing aviation, it also appears that the airline companies who owned the ‘alleged’ planes of 9/11, appeared to engage in future trading that would have been directly affected by the events of the day. From the 6th to the 10th of September 2001, a huge number of ‘put’ options were placed on United Airlines, Boeing and American Airlines stock, betting that the price would fall sharply. The trades are called "puts" because they involve at least 450,000 shares of American. What raised the flag of suspicion, was the (more than) 80 percent of orders being "puts", far outnumbering "call" options, those betting the stock would rise. After 9/11 it was claimed that the financial arm of “terrorist organisations” had financed the ‘puts’ because they were the only ones who could have known in advance! Many people subsequently pushed for an investigation into insider trading. After several investigations and court cases, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated that they “found no evidence that anyone who had advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks traded on the basis of that information”. It always seemed inevitable that this (like many other inquiries, commissions and investigations in history) would be a foregone conclusion. Thankfully, the knowledge gleaned from such matters is also a foregone conclusion: it is damning merely in it’s existence.

   In July, two months before 9/11, a 40 year old FAA rule allowing commercial airline pilots to be armed was rescinded.  Also note that the hijacking weapon of choice: box cutters, weren't allowed pre-9/11 by the airlines industry. Strange also that the ONLY person to have witnessed the use of box-cutters (upon which the ENTIRE ‘official’ account bases this particular evidence), was right wing commentator and author Barbara Olson. Not only did she have a super-duper cell phone that allowed perfect contact (twice) from the plane to the ground (allowing for an account of events), but she was also the wife of U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson . A man who admitted in public that the U.S. government lies and a man who helped stopped the Florida recount that helped Bush win the 2000 election. So a reliable testimony there then…

   On the subject of the ‘hijackers’, we have the crucial evidence that ‘proved’ the culpability of those involved. Atta's luggage, which contained incriminating evidence, was the only luggage of the 81 passengers aboard Flight 11 that didn't make it on the plane. Convenient…   Despite the buildings collapse through structural damage caused by the intense heat and explosion of the jet and it’s fuel, etc, etc, etc, the passport of alleged Flight 11 hijacker, Satam Al-Suqami, is reportedly found in the rubble still soaked in jet fuel by an unidentified man in his 30's only "minutes" after the plane allegedly crashed into the North WTC Tower. The passport is in remarkably good condition given the circumstance. Let’s also not forget there are indications that some of the ‘hijackers’ were still alive after 9/11. How did they manage that, if they were involved?!!

In part 2,  I will look at what some have cited as bizarre or uncanny “predictions” of 9/11.
To Be Concluded…

9/11 - Part 7: Let's Roll...

   Just after 10 am on 9/11, United Flight 93 (travelling 580 mph) was reported as flipping over and crashing straight down in a empty field in the rural town of Shanksville, PA, burrowing itself underground. The passengers reportedly tried to take over the plane from the alleged hijackers. “The fuselage burrowed straight into the earth so forcefully that one of the "black boxes" was recovered at a depth of 25 feet under the ground." (Washington Post - 05/12/02). "But although the government was authorized to shoot down the errant planes, Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz told the NewsHour he believes that crash came instead as a result of a passenger uprising… we were already tracking in on that plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. I think it was the heroism of the passengers on board that brought it down, but the Air Force was in a position to do so if we had had to." (PBS - 9/16/01)

   This remark: “The Air Force was in a position to do so”, is the central notion of the real investigation into the ‘crash’ of United Flight 93. In the minutes leading to this event, UK ITV news showed live footage of an F-16 fighter jet in the area; thus proving that the military did indeed have the means to shoot down a passenger jet. Kevin Dunn (ITV foreign correspondent) was interviewed by news reader Kirsty Young. She asked, “Would it be possible for an American Military plane such as this, to have any impact on the destination or, indeed, the course of a plane?” and he replied, “Well the warplane could obviously challenge by radio, whoever is in control of an aircraft and ultimately threaten and indeed shoot them down.”

   The lack of bodies and debris has been pointed to, in the truth community, as the absence of Flight 93. I actually believe that was a plane smashed across the landscape of Shanksville and the surrounding area. Whether it was Flight 93 or not is a pertinent question. How it was ’downed’ is probably the more important question to ask though. Many have pointed to sink holes and mine shafts as the resting place for much of the larger debris (the area of land had been previously strip-mined for coal) and a nearby lake for much of the rest. Whilst I can’t argue with this, I also know there is a huge number of accounts of a military craft pursuing and even shooting down the ‘high jacked’ plane. If this scenario were true, it would almost certainly account for the debris pattern and lack thereof.

   Much of what follows here has been debated and questioned for validity. Whilst it is difficult to positively confirm the 100 percent accuracy of the following claims, they do raise questions. I would like to present them, merely, as a possibility…

   At 9:58, a Flight 93 passenger allegedly made a cell phone call and said that he saw an explosion and smoke and that the plane was "going down."

   The Tactical Air Communications Unit at the National Security Operations Centre (NSOC) at NSA was broadcasting live the cockpit communications between two U.S. Air Force F-16s over Somerset County, Pennsylvania. One F-16 pilot said "we are now engaging the target."
the NSA CRITICOM messaging system contained a flash message called a "CRITIC" that stated a commercial aircraft was "intercepted" over Pennsylvania. The latitude and longitude of the interception was provided along with the time of the interception. There were many ‘live’ training exercises on 9/11. Could it be that one of these exercises was mistaken for this occurrence?


   It is alleged that an encrypted special communications network that linked Air Force Chief of Staff General John Jumper to the Vice President and National Security Council, and a few other intelligence officials contained a message on the morning of September 11 that confirmed the U.S. Air Force shot down United flight 93. The message stated that a U.S. Air Force fighter jet shot the engine on flight 93 with a heat-seeking missile "over Pennsylvania". 

   A 911 emergency call to the Somerset Hospital Critical Care unit stated that the hospital should prepare for mass casualties since "two planes collided over Pennsylvania."

   Several first response workers at the ‘official’ Stony Creek crash site described a crater that closely matched a Global Hawk unmanned drone, a story corroborated by an eyewitness at a nearby junk yard who witnessed a similar vehicle “colliding” with ‘Flight 93’. Another witness observed a small white aircraft pass over Ginger Hill Road and clear some trees before exploding in a small mushroom cloud on the other side of the tree line. The fallout from the explosion was described by the witness as "glittery".

   At the Huckleberry Highway residential debris field, witnesses described the debris as little more than paper. More oddly being insurance papers, bank statements, and stock and bond certificates. The New Baltimore debris field (10 miles away) also reportedly consisted of singed bonds and insurance and bank papers.

   One of the few impact witnesses described it as "not a plane" with no engine, pure white, tubular, with no markings or windows, soundless, and with the appearance of a moulded piece of plastic. The aircraft banked to the right before ascending over a tree line before crashing. Under the aircraft and mid-belly could be seen what the witness described as a "fin and spoiler". After the crash, the witness noticed two fighter jets in the area that circled and departed rapidly from the scene.

   A phone call to a witness from a relative in Lancaster, Pennsylvania said that a friend in the Air Force said that the service had "shot down a plane in Pennsylvania."

   Several farmers who were working in their fields that morning saw U.S. Air Force fighter planes shoot down United 93 and were (allegedly) subsequently threatened by FBI agents. One witness had a security gag order placed on him by the FBI. Eventually, a number of farmer witnesses changed their stories to coincide with the official story.

   There are allegations that several local witnesses were harassed and intimidated in a threatening manner, by non-local law enforcement and FBI agents. One was claimed to have said to the eyewitness, “Do not lose faith in your government. We are handling it".

John, Tessa and Brian (three students who were at Shanksville High School at the time), witnessed a “big fighter plane” fly over the school “like 10 seconds” after the ‘crash’. Brian and John both believe that the jet shot down ‘Flight 93’.

Shanksville, PA, is a military flight corridor.

Mayor Ernie Stull, on arriving at the crash site, said he saw no evidence of a plane crash.

The "Flight 93" crash site remained fenced in and restricted, to the public.

 In August 2003, Fox news reported that US investigators now believe that the ‘high-jackers’ crashed the plane BECAUSE of the passengers starting to revolt.

Norman Mineta (see: Pentagon) said he wasn't aware of Flight 93 until after it crashed and thought “it was shot down“.

On Dec 24, 2004, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld gives a speech about 9/11 using the phrase: “shot down the plane over Pennsylvania” .

 


On September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush was overheard stating: "We shot a plane down over Pennsylvania".


So there we have it.

Never let yourself be TOLD what happened…9/11 is for YOU to decide.

I will be doing one more evidence based overview post (covering some as yet undiscussed aspects) to begin September and will then begin my 9/11 Legacy Blog Series.

Till Next Time!

9/11 - Part 6: "The Smoking Penta-gun"


   The events at The Pentagon provide us with damning evidence of a story that contradicts the ‘official’ account. It is perhaps obvious, for reasons that will become apparent, why the debunkers tend to shy away more from this aspect of 9/11 or why they only give it a cursory acknowledgement.

   Many have pointed out the lack of video surveillance camera footage, as an indication of the US military and intelligence agencies protecting national security. A full disclosure could hamper the capacity of those that work at The Pentagon or endanger it’s assets. I actually believe that if you look at the evidence, as well as the lack of footage, there is a different picture to be painted.

   On March 7, 2002, the first footage of The Pentagon event was released to the media. A set of five frames taken from a security camera include: one showing a white blurry shape and the last few showing an erupting fireball. Much more of this footage from two angles (a few feet apart) has been released over time. Apart from a brilliant white flash, which is only visible from one camera, the footage shows absolutely nothing more (relating to the event) than the original five frames. There has been little more footage from others sources. On September 15, 2006, The U.S. government released a CITGO gas station security video that barely shows the Pentagon explosion and does not show a plane. On December 2, 2006, The FBI released a Doubletree Hotel security video that showed an explosion coming up from the Pentagon. Again, it did not show any plane, or even the Pentagon which was blocked out by an overpass. It therefore falls to the structural damage analysis and eye witness testimony to tell the reality of this story. 

   Before the event, Pentagon medic Matt Rosenberg was on the phone with the FBI talking about who had command of the MASCAL emergency plane crash plan if a plane were to hit the Pentagon and emergency equipment for the MASCAL emergency plan was already out it’s storage areas for an inventory check.  A large number of fire and medical service units were dispatched to a high-rise building fire near the Pentagon, but the fire was already reported out by the time the first responder arrived which made most of the units available to help at the Pentagon.  Other key rescue workers were available within minutes. While much of this could be labelled coincidence, it is odd that many of these workers had been involved in MASCAL training exercises and commented how “eerily alike” they were to the real life events of 9/11.

   The damage at The Pentagon contradicts the ‘official’ account in numerous ways. Will Jarvis (operations research analyst, Office of Secretary of Defence) said: “There was just nothing left. It was incinerated. We couldn’t see a tail or a wing or anything”. Maybon Pollock (Sergeant First Class, NCOIC Logistics in the DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic) said: “I was more impressed, I was truly impressed, with how the building stood up, after they told me the size of the plane. And then I was in awe that I saw no plane, nothing left from the plane. It was like it disintegrated as it went into the building.”. Eileen Murphy (Head Nurse of the Minor Surgery Clinic at the DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic) said: "The building is like rock solid. I expected to see the airplane, so I guess my initial impression was, “Where’s the plane? How come there’s not a plane?” I would have thought the building would have stopped it and somehow we would have seen something like part of, or half of the plane, or the lower part, or the back of the plane. So it was just a real surprise that the plane wasn’t there”.

   Even CNN correspondent Jamie McIntyre reported live from the Pentagon, that there was no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the building. "From my close-up inspection, there's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon. The only site, is the actual side of the building that's crashed in. And as I said, the only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you pick up in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage, nothing like that anywhere around which would indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon and then caused the side to collapse“. He was obviously remanded as a result because, later in the day he was changing his story (even though subsequent evidence continued to support his initial view). In the days that followed, he tried to deny he’d ever said it. When footage showed his gaff, he tried to explain it away as ‘heat of the moment’.

   Amongst the debris that was recovered, was a fuselage section that was a fuselage section that was rectangular in shape (Flight 77 was a Boeing 757 and they’re fuselage at the time was round), a small cockpit window piece (inconsistent with 77), a J52 turbine wheel (engine part) found inside the Pentagon was never installed in a 757 and an engine rotor photographed on the lawn was approximately 3 foot wide (757’s twin engines are 9 feet diameter/12 feet length, Pratt & Whitney PW2000 or Rolls Royce RB211 engines with a 7 foot diameter turbofan). This rotor does not match the 757 engine specifications and it is revealing that when John W Brown (spokesman for Rolls Royce Indianapolis) was shown this part, he said: “It’s not a part from any Rolls Royce engine that I’m familiar with”.

   The fire damage sustained by The Pentagon appears to be rather less than claimed. Witnesses commented on the lack of fire and smoke damage severity. The photographs taken after the collapse show some real oddities. Aside from two clocks that appear to have frozen at the exact moment of impact, there is also the strange matter of a book perched on a stool (right on the edge of the collapse section) which appears totally untouched by smoke or fire damage. It wasn’t even budged by vibration from the collapse or the spray of water from fire hoses putting out the remaining flames.

   Photographs before the building collapse show that column 14AA remained intact… bizarre considering that the American Society for Civil Engineers Report concluded that the impact took out 50 support columns including 14AA. They also show a pre-collapse hole of 14 - 16 feet. The foundations suffered no damage from the left engine pod which, according to the official flight path angle, would have gauged into the ground. Subsequent ‘official’ reports and investigation solved this problem in animated simulations by pretending that the plane had no engines at all!

   Pre & Post-collapse shows no damage from the tail impacting the front edge of the roof (at the position it allegedly struck) and windows were still intact where vertical stabiliser would have ploughed through. If, as some have claimed, The Pentagon was suitably reinforced to withstand this… where is the tail/vertical stabiliser in the outer debris? Was it pulverised by jet fuel, yet again?!! This would be a very selective fire, if you consider that The Pentagon’s super-reinforced lawn suffered no scorching after the debris was cleared…

   Most bizarre are the images from the inner courtyard, which reveal a puncture hole created by the nose of the plane. 757 nose cones are made of fibreglass (see also: The Twin Towers) as it contains the radar guidance system. Signals from which would simply bounce straight back if the nose was made of metal. What a super vehicle: Flight 77! Consider this: the plane hits the section that recently had reinforcement work completed. It impacts…and proceeds to plough through several ring walls: each 3 foot steel reinforced concrete (a total of 9 feet). After which the fibreglass nose peeks out the other side, disappears from existence and leaves a man and a half sized hole in it’s wake…

   There is speculation that the real means used, was possibly an A3 Sky Warrior (consistent with the engine parts recovered) or a bunker buster type, piece of ordinance. This could have been in missile form or launched to precede the impacting craft. This possibly ties in with theories about ‘Smack Sonic Insulation’ which allegedly reduces the aircraft and contents to the consistency of super heated plasma, therefore explaining the bizarre pattern of structural damage.
Whilst it is difficult to say what it WAS that struck The Pentagon, it would probably be safe to say that it wasn't Flight 77.

9/11 - Part 5: "WTC 7"

   World Trade Centre Building 7 was a 47 storey building adjacent to The Twin Towers. I was aware of the building and it’s location (like many of the landmark buildings of New York), through years of interest in Americana and US pop culture… hence my interest in the unfolding events  of 9/11. I taped hours of news coverage on the day and was totally confused by the BBC’s reporting of the collapse of WTC 7. At 5.08pm,  BBC correspondent Jane Stanley announced that the WTC 7 had collapsed… not started to or about to collapse… actually gone. This was confirmed by the news anchor in the studio:

"The 47 storey Salomon Brothers building close to the World Trade Centre has also collapsed."

I knew where the building should have been in relation to the landscape and was bemused to see it standing in clear view, in the background, as she spoke live about the collapse. As eyewitness testimony (and official record) shows, it would not collapse for another 12 minutes. Did the BBC cock up and accidentally reveal that they had prior knowledge? This was one the key events of 9/11 that has since made me question the ‘official’ story. The collapse of WTC 7 got very little attention at the time. In the days, months and years since, those who manipulate and control the agenda  have tried to dismiss, even ignore it. Even the BBC have subsequently “lost those key tapes” from their archives. Thankfully, some of us had our VCRs running!

   WTC 7 allegedly collapsed as a result of fire… a handful of moderate fires on 2 floors to be exact. Like WTC 1 & 2, the building collapsed at free fall speed, into it’s own footprint. It was not hit by a plane and it was only mildly damaged by falling debris after The Towers collapsed. When examining the footage of this building, it appears obvious that it suffered little more than minor damage and burning. If we believe the ‘official’ account, then this must have been a very shoddily constructed building, to fall so easily! It would also make it the first steel high-rise building in history to collapse due to mostly fire.

   Like The Towers, there are oddities leading up to the collapse.  At 6.47am of 9/11, WTC 7's fire alarm system was placed on "TEST" mode for an eight hour period for "maintenance or other testing". Any alarms that were received from the system were not shown on the operator’s display, considered the result of the maintenance / testing and ignored. Several demolition teams were documented as being at Ground Zero (mid afternoon) and witnessed WTC 7 collapse. Several Ground Zero rescuers were heard (and filmed) saying the WTC 7 was going to "blow up" and will be "coming down soon". Others mentioned they were told around 3 p.m. that it was going to collapse and others were waiting around for it to fall. These accounts began about 3 hours before it collapsed. Indeed, the FDNY Deputy Chief Peter Hayden stated that at 2pm: “we  were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Centre would collapse”. At 4.15pm, CNN reporter Aaron Brown reported: "Building 7, in the WTC complex, is on fire and has either collapsed, or is collapsing” (this footage is available on Youtube).

   When the building went, A NYU medical student (who was watching the WTC 7) heard a clap of thunder, a shockwave rippling through the building, windows popping outward, then saw the bottom floor cave out followed by the rest of the building. Many researchers have pointed to footage of the collapse, that could indicate what looks like the central column supports “going” before the rest. The remaining debris from the WTC 7 was speedily removed without investigators having the chance to examine the wreckage at the scene to help determine the cause of failure. This was also the case with The Towers debris.

   Danny Jowenko was a Dutch explosives and demolition expert. He did not know about WTC 7 and was shown the footage of the collapse, but not told it took place on 9/11. After watching this he said, “Does the top go first? No. The Bottom… They simply blew up columns and the rest caved in afterwards. This is controlled demolition. This was a hired job performed by a team of experts.”

   Jowenko was then told by the interviewer that it took place on 9/11. His reaction was shock and surprise. “The same day?! Are you sure?!.. Are you sure this was the 11? That can‘t be”. After a long pause he said, “Then they worked hard!…. It‘s without a doubt a professional job. They knew exactly what they’re doing”. When asked to estimate how it would be carried out, he said that you would need experienced men: 30 to 40, 2 with a cutting torch, some to clear the walls, some to hook up the detonation cord and boosters and others to hook up the electronic systems. Jowenko subsequently went on to become an advocate of 9/11 truth.

   He sadly died in 2011 and his death has raised questions in the truth community. He was killed in a car accident, driving from church when he collided head on with a tree. There was also a dog in the car who survived.  If his death was related to his work to uncover the truth, we may never ultimately know.

   The significance of this particular building is not lost on some people. Despite the building being pretty much empty, some have claimed that Mayor Rudy Guiliani’s command centre (which allegedly orchestrated the events in WTC Plaza) was based in WTC 7. Whilst it is hard to prove this, it would be convenient to destroy evidence of said operation in the collapse. It has also been widely recorded that the CIA’s undercover “New York Station” was housed in WTC 7. Whilst it has been documented that over a billion dollars of gold were stored in WTC 4, it is also claimed that Gold Bullion was stored in WTC 7 too. This may be corroborated by eyewitness accounts of Gold Bullion being found in tunnels under WTC 5, when the site was being cleared.

It is also very well documented that key evidence in the ENRON scandal investigation was stored there and destroyed during the collapse. The ENRON scandal is inextricably linked to 9/11 through George Bush. ENRON Corporation was the biggest financial backer of Bush in the 2000 election and supported his career since his ‘Governor of Texas’ days. There is a huge amount of evidence linking Bush to Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling (both key players in ENRON leadership). Lay served on Bush’s transition team in 2000 and donated $290,000 to his campaign. Dick Cheney was also connected to ENRON, which he consulted at least 6 times before announcing US energy policy. ENRON collapsed due to manipulation of massive expansion of it’s global holdings, through the help of politicians on the payroll.  Executives sold their shares at the top of the market and encouraged employees to buy up shares. With the meltdown of ENRON, certain individuals made a killing. They so expertly played the system. It would make sense that exposing the activities of these people would reflect badly on the administration at the time. What a coincidence then, that key evidence in this case was lost on 9/11...

   Then, of course, there is the statement made by Larry Silverstein, the WTC leaseholder, who said (on record, viewable online in video form): "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is ‘pull it‘". And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse" (PBS - 09/10/02). Any demolition expert worth their salt, will tell you that (what with all the road closures, debris and chaos) it would have next to impossible to set up the kind of operation needed for a ‘clean pull’ like WTC 7. Especially in only, a maximum window of, 8 hours. With this in mind, certain individuals must have had advance knowledge of 9/11 in order to set up the demolition of WTC 7.

   There may be some pieces of coincidental evidence to prove this supposition though.  In July of 2001, Larry Silverstein signed a 99-year lease for the rest of the WTC (just six weeks before the attacks). At roughly the same time, his insurance brokers changed WTC policy. The new policy allowed for the possible destruction of the towers to counted as two separate insurance claims (one per tower), instead of the original policy that counted both towers as one claim. On 9/11 itself, FOX reporter Jeffrey Shapiro said that several NYPD officers and Con-Edison workers had told him that Larry Silverstein was on the phone with his insurance carrier to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of the WTC 7. The ultimate outcome of Silverstein’s foresight, allowed him to pocket $861 million (a profit of $478 million) for the collapse of WTC 7 alone. With the following court battles (to claim double payment for The Towers), he was ultimately awarded just under 5 billion dollars. Not a bad days work at the expense of such tragedy and loss of life…

   The overall ‘official’ account and investigation of the collapse of this building has been a whitewashed lie of the highest order. The FEMA report, regarding WTC 7 gives no concrete conclusion as to why it collapsed. It states only that it MAY have occurred through fire alone and that additional study would be required. The 9/11 commission report almost ignores it’s existence, saying only that the collapse was “highly improbable”. To this day, there has been no further ‘official’ investigation into the collapse of WTC 7. Exposing the truth about this particular aspect of 9/11 may bring us closer to definitive answers. Maybe that is why debunkers, the powers that be and the propaganda machine goes to great lengths to pretend it never, ever happened.

What THEY won’t touch on, is where WE may find the answers.

9/11 - Part 4: "Method In The Madness"


   The methods used to bring down the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre is a huge matter for debate in the truth community. These matters have been fuelled and compounded by photographic and video footage combined with eyewitness testimony. As the media began coverage of events, many individuals (including certain reporters) made claims about all manner of aircraft and hardware, with some showing no knowledge of the involvement of jet airliners: “A bomb has gone off” and “There has been a huge explosion” were the sorts of statements made.

   As events progressed, people were continually being corrected by news anchors: “It was high jacked planes!“ Eventually there were numerous people, cited as eyewitnesses, who were actually from certain institutional agencies and organisations. Some have even been exposed as ‘fake testimony’ (individuals claiming to be a certain individual when they clearly were somebody else!). These people were shown by the mainstream media repeatedly as reliable testimony, almost as if to reinforce an engineered consensus: “Two planes slammed into the towers!” (I will discuss the media’s role in 9/11 in a forthcoming post).


   Reconciling inconsistencies in the wealth of eyewitness accounts from 9/11, is difficult. There are a huge number of people who never actually saw planes, yet saw and heard the initial explosions. Some have subsequently filled in the gaps based on “general consensus”. Yet if pushed, they still cannot be 100% sure they even saw a plane. One or two witnesses have even claimed to have seen a plane, yet heard no explosion! Make of that what you will! Testimony from the moments before both the impacts and the collapses, also describe unusual sound anomalies. Droning, hissing and “thrushing” sounds were spoken off by several witnesses. The sound of military-like jets and missiles were also spoken of by others. It is difficult to imagine how the brain ultimately compartmentalises a first hand experience like 9/11. I believe the lack of consistency amongst these differing accounts, exposes the flaws in the ‘official’ story.


   More revealing, are numerous accounts of various differing aircraft. Some witnessed small planes: “It looked like a commuter plane” (Don Wright), “The plane appeared to hold 8 to 12 people” (Steve Patterson), etc. Anthony Bartolomey , in his interviews stated: “Numerous civilians were telling me that a plane had hit the building. There were discrepancies as to the type of plane. Some were saying it was a Cessna or Leer jet type, a small jet plane”.

   Former Republican Party insider Karl Schwarz began investigating oddities in the wake of 9/11. In running across the video footage in a French foreign film entitled The Barbarian Invasion (a film unrelated to 9-11), he noticed a 1 minute 52 second video segment, shot by an unknown amateur photographer at the WTC, which Schwartz says clearly shows a Boeing 737 airliner striking the south tower… rather than the government claimed 767. Schwarz said he also had evidence that the engine recovered in the WTC wreckage was a model type CFM56, which propels a 737, not a 767.

   There was even an account from Tom Wright (an operations manager at FAA’s New York Terminal Radar Approach Control - DRACON) of a Sikorsky helicopter that was tracked until it collided with the WTC at 8.27am on 9/11. He also claimed that it was “the only target that we saw in the vicinity of the Trade Centre”.

   It is conceivable that there would be numerous differing accounts. Despite the fact that, the FAA grounded all aircraft (including military) at 9.24am, various credible internet video footage shows passenger jets in the skies throughout the day. It has been confirmed that the Bin Laden family was flown out of the US after the lockdown, so how many planes were still in the air? Student video footage from across the Hudson River shows fighter jets speeding toward the Towers (between the initial ‘impact’ and collapse) and throughout the day. This poses the larger question of a military presence being able to prevent said ‘attacks’! Even at the moment of ‘impact’, video footage reveals both: a large commercial aircraft flying past the North Tower, as it was hit and a white aircraft behind the towers, as the South Tower was hit.

   There were also claims of military hardware: “I was convinced it was a missile”, ”We heard what sounded like a missile”, “One person actually said that it was like a military style plane that actually shot missiles into the building” (Anthony Bartolomey), etc. At 9.06am, PAPD Police Desk radio report, PA Channel W reported: “Units on channel W, this is 8581 Sierra. Theres been a reported missile launching from the Woolworth Building. CPD, if you are monitoring, get in touch with New York City. Have them check the Woolworth Building roof top".

   The debate about military vehicles and devices was blown open, with claims made about a ’pod’ attached to the underbelly of Flight 175. Subsequent study of numerous photographs and video footage has shown this ’pod’ to be visible from several angles. Researchers have studied the smaller amount of footage of Flight 11 and showed the possibility that it too had a ’pod’. Whilst it is difficult to quantify this theory given the ease with which footage can be doctored, it has fuelled truthers and sceptics alike. Those who follow the ’official story’ claim it is nothing more than shadows and light anomalies. Truth Seekers have been heartened by several independent successes with video analysis. Whilst experts don’t know what it is, they can rule out the shadows and lighting factors. It appears that it is very much a part of the whole vehicle. Combined with the ’flash’ footage that pre-empts the ’impact’, some believe that it is an Incendiary Device. Thus calling the nature of these two planes into doubt.

   Were they military in nature? FOX employee, Mark Burnback stated at the time: “There was definitely a blue logo with like a circular logo on the front of the plane, toward the… yeah, definitely toward the front. It definitely didn’t look like a commercial plane. I didn’t see any windows on the side… It was not a normal flight that I’ve ever seen. It did not look like it belonged in this area”. Footage from the time shows eyewitnesses initial observations. One woman screams: “That was not an American Airline” (repeatedly). One man said; “The plane wasn’t no airline or anything. It was a twin engine, big, grey plane”. With this in mind, you have to ask the question: If not Flight 11 and 175, what happened to the planes they claimed were used? Where are the passengers and crew? Considering the answer to this question is a chilling realisation…

   You would also have to ask, would those responsible have people prepared to fly vehicles into certain death? The Japanese did it in WW2! Those who believe in an agenda would loyally lay down their lives for, what they perceive to be, the greater good. However, what if these aircraft were unmanned? As crazy as that may sound, it has applications based firmly in reality.
In 1984, The NASA Dryden Flight Research Centre and the FAA flew a fully fuelled Boeing 720 via remote control and crash it into the ground. In 1994, An experiment at the Crows Landing NASA Facility in the Central Valley of California involved 110 landings of a Boeing 737 airliner using an experimental GPS navigation system. On April 24, 2001, The Global Hawk made aviation history by becoming the first unmanned, robotic aircraft to fly across the Pacific Ocean. On August 25, 2001, Raytheon (several of the listed 9/11 flight passengers were employed by Raytheon!) and the U.S. Air Force successfully auto lands a pilot-less FedEx Boeing 727 six times using a military GPS landing system that enabled ground control to take control of a hijacked airplane and force land it. They also successfully completed flight testing of a system providing accurate and reliable landing guidance for both rotary and fixed wing aircraft during low visibility (Category I and II) approaches, on September 6, 2001.

   All four planes hijacked were made by Boeing (a major defence contractor) and have virtually the same flight decks, can store an entire flight path plan, and can be automatically flown immediately after takeoff up until landing. It is strange when you consider that the two Boeing 767's that were claimed to have hit the North and South WTC Towers crashed at approximately the same angle, both hitting their targets tilting to the left. The technology to precisely fly planes by remote, avoiding obstacles and undertaking manoeuvres of near impossibility for a living pilot, is in commercial use today. Military technology is known to be at least 20 years ahead of that in commercial use, so it is certainly feasible.


   In examining the theory of unconventional weaponry use to collapse the towers, I must credit Dr Judy Wood and Andrew Johnson for their tireless research into the subject of energy weapons or means. Whilst I still have certain reservations about these matters, I am certainly open to the idea. Especially if you consider the 60 year or more history of classified research, development and testing of microwave weapons, exotic energy weapons and weather modification technology. I am convinced these means exist in some form and, with this in mind, it is not such a stretch of the imagination to entertain the notion of black technology usability in a false flag or covert operation.

   Many in the truth movement have lambasted these ideas and, whether you agree or not, the research into this theory is certainly worth taking the time to at least examine… instead of immediately dismissing out of hand. Whilst studying the “bubbling”, “foaming” and “dustification” effect, visible in footage of the collapses, they have also pointed to anomalies in the surrounding area. Upturned cars, bizarre scorching of vehicles, inconsistent fire damage of property and environment and ’cold fires’ (photographs show rescue workers walking through small fires with no effect on the person).

   Evidence of these unconventional methods to bring down the towers, may lie in the mystery surrounding Hurricane Erin, which was over the Atlantic Ocean and the longest-lived hurricane in the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season. The hurricane maintained peak strength for 18 hours. Erin should have made New York landfall on September 11, yet it rapidly decelerated and veered off in a totally different easterly direction. Although it could be argued that nature is, by it’s very nature (no pun intended), is unpredictable… is it just a bizarre coincidence?. If Erin had continued on course, we would not have had clear blue skies on 9/11 (for the footage!), flights may have been delayed or cancelled and we may never have had an event called 9/11. It may have been 9/14 or 9/26 (the numerological significance of the date would have diminished though!)… who can tell. However, anybody who knows the history of weather modification projects knows that altering the path of a hurricane is not so far fetched as it may appear.

The problem with examining the twin towers as evidence of a cover-up?
It is difficult to get close to solid proof. The Towers evidence (whilst damning) contradicts itself… left, right and centre.

Proof of something more tangible lay just down the road from the centre of attention though.
Whilst most people didn’t realise it, a confession of guilt was televised, live and for all to see….
At World Trade Centre Building 7.
