WHO GAVE THE GREEN LIGHT FOR 9.11?

A Two-Part Series

Part 1.

See No Evil

In the weeks leading up to the aerial attacks of Sept. 11, international flight crews used to heightened precautions abroad expressed dismay over relaxed security at all major US airports. As one veteran flight attendant told this reporter: “Airport metal detectors have three sensitivity settings: green, yellow and red. When anything sets it off, you know an alert has been issued, and that it’s set to red. But on the morning of Sept. 11, airport metal detectors on the East coast were set on green.”

Why?

For the next eight months, chanting “We Didn’t Know” like a mantra, White House officials categorically denied receiving any advance warnings of attackers whose effortless evasion of airport and air force defenses left obvious questions unasked by flag-waving media celebrities.

None dared call it complicity.

GROUNDED
The Federal Aviation Administration says it alerted NORAD to the first hijackings at 8:38, less than 10 minutes before the first tower was hit.
The general in charge of North American Air Defense neglected to explain why 18 minutes later a pair of F-15s were scrambled from Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod - 179 miles from the fray - when other armed “ready alert” aircraft were much closer. [Miami Herald Sept. 14, 2001]

Ordered to keep their speed down to an airliner’s crawl, Otis’ Mach 2 fighters were 70 miles from New York City when the South Tower was struck at 9:03 a.m. Two F-16s from Langley, Virginia arrived overhead 20 minutes after the Pentagon was hit. [Cape Cod Times Sept. 16, 2001]

Myers never mentioned that just 10 miles away, someone held two armed “ready- alert” fighters on the ground at Andrews Air Force Base until early evening. [Andrews AFB website]

I would like to interview those two pilots:

q Who overrode their repeated appeals to launch?

q How did they feel as they listened to airline pilots reporting the attacks they were trained and pledged to prevent?

q Who ordered their ready-to-fly, round-the-clock, “anti-terrorist” 121st and 321st fighter squadrons erased from the Andrews website on Sept. 12?

q And who shot down Flight 93, which came down in two widely separated sections after a heat-seeking missile fired by a pursuing fighter flying under “weapons free” orders blew off a wing over Pennsylvania? [“Shoot down over Pennsylvania” New York Times Sept. 15, 2001]

FEMA FOLLIES
Everywhere in this strange and sickening story, contradictions feed conundrums.

How did the Federal Emergency Management Agency know what was coming? Before being cured of his “memory lapse” by emergency spin doctors, FEMA Urban Rescue team leader Tom Kennedy told a nationwide CBS audience on Sept. 12: “We’re currently one of the first teams that was deployed to support the City of New York in this disaster. We arrived on late Monday night and went right into action on Tuesday morning.”
CBS anchor Dan Rather never asked what FEMA was doing deploying the night before the WTC attacks. Or how a President could claim that $30 billion worth of silicon and security specialists never considered that the previously bombed World Trade Center might still be a prime terrorist target - when the WTC is depicted in a terrorist’s crosshairs on the cover of FEMA’s ant-terrorist manual.

But in mid-May, Rather and other highly paid readers and transcribers of official press releases were prodded into actually committing journalism when a three-month old Congressional inquiry learned of a flurry of high-level Washington warnings long-discussed in the British and European press.

FLEISCHER FLOUNDERS
Attempting damage control, Presidential Press Secretary Ari Fleischer contradicted earlier denials, saying that the White House had received repeated “heads up!” calls from foreign leaders and security agencies of impending aerial attacks by al Qaeda hijackers.

Fleischer first insisted the warnings dealt solely with US interests outside the United States. Reversing himself without hesitancy or shame, the presidential spokesman then admitted that the administration had been warned of “domestic US targets” as early as the previous May.

Fleischer assured Americans that the White House immediately “notified the appropriate agencies” of the terrorist hijacking threat they had previously insisted they knew nothing about.

If so, it is compellingly curious that airport check-in and security personnel were never sent from “green” complacency to “red” alert.

US intelligence experts now say that if airline ticket agents and low-paid gate security personnel had been ordered to pay close attention to the “Terrorist Profile” card at their elbows, young Middle Eastern men paying for tickets with cash would have been stopped for questioning before being allowed to board transcontinental flights. It is unlikely that men bent on bloody business would have been seated in Business Class after being asked to produce luggage “salted” with flight manuals, hijack exhortations and suicide notes, and left as convenient clues in the trunks of their rental cars.

Airline insiders insist that razor-sharp Exacto knives would have also triggered metal detectors set to the highest sensitivity. But on May 16, a spokesman for security at Boston Logan Airport where the WTC kamikazes originated, told the Boston Globe: “The Federal government never handed down any intelligence regarding hijackings.”

Not to Logan airport security, anyway.

When San Francisco mayor Willie Brown called on Sept.10 to check the status of a flight he was planning to take into New York the following day, a return call from a person Brown described to the San Francisco Chronicle as an “airport security man”, told him to be “extra cautious about air travel” into Gotham on Sept. 11.

By then, a Sept. 7 “worldwide warning” from the State Department had alerted other US government agencies that Americans “may be the target of a terrorist threat [from] extremist groups with links to Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda organization.”

According to German BND Intelligence, an Echelon ear in England had overheard conversations regarding the coming attacks. Listening in on phone calls, faxes and emails, Echelon also automatically monitors international financial transactions and airline travel for signs of unusual activity.

TRADERS AND TRAITORS
Sudden spikes in Wall Street trading are closely checked by PROMIS software. On Sept.10, as a Brooklyn high school student of Middle Eastern descent warned classmates not to venture into Manhattan, automatic stock-trading alarms would have been triggered when 4,516 “put” options were suddenly purchased against American Airlines.

Essentially leveraged bets that American’s stocks were about to “crash”, the day’s trading volume was 600% higher than the usual level of trading in AA shares. A similar sudden spike in UAL “put” purchases represented a 1,200% jump in the usual number of daily stock “bets” placed against United the day before that airline also lost two planes.

The WTC’s biggest tenant, Morgan Stanley saw a daily average of 27 “put” contracts. On Sept. 8, 9 and 10, someone with inside knowledge of the Twin Towers takedown bought 2,157 of Morgan Stanley options. Merrill Lynch, another big brokerage house occupying 22 floors of the WTC, saw 12,215 put options purchased in the four trading days leading up to the attacks. The average trading volume in Merrill Lynch shares is 252 contracts per day. [The Independent Oct. 14, 2001]

Was there a CIA connection?

It turns out that the investment bank used to place “put options” on United Airlines stock was managed until 1998 by “Buzzy” Krongard. Currently executive director of the CIA, Krongard helmed the Alex Brown bank when it was acquired by Banker’s Trust in 1997. Accused of laundering drug-money, Banker’s Trust was then absorbed into Deutsche Bank. Europe’s biggest blockbuster bank next made the news by being named the hub of insider trades involving the insurance company Munich Re. European regulators are now examining unusually heavy trades in Munich Re, Swiss Re, Cigna and Axa of France. Each of these underwriters was exposed to heavy losses from the destruction of the Trade Center. Like Alex Brown, Axa and Cigna insurers have close links to the international drug trade and its handmaiden, the CIA. [AFD]

Osama bin Laden’s family banks at Deutsche Bank. On Sept. 15, as German investigators probed Deutsche Bank’s short-selling of sensitive Sept. 11 stocks, Alex Brown head Mayo Shattuck abruptly resigned.

So did Lt-Gen. Mahmud Ahmad. Instead of being tried by an American military tribunal, the ISI director-general quietly left his post as head of Pakistan intelligence at the insistence of US authorities, after FBI agents recorded Mahmud’s cell phone calls ordering a sheikh to wire $100,000 to Sept. 11 ringleader Mohamed Atta. [The Times Of India Oct. 12, 2001]

Since, like Osama bin Laden himself, the ISI is a creation of the CIA, did the feds at Foggy Bottom know what its director was manifesting for Manhattan? Fleischer fulminated that the President was “provided information about bin Laden wanting to engage in hijacking in the traditional pre-9/11 sense - not for the use of suicide bombing, not for the use of an airplane as a missile.”

LETTING IT HAPPEN
Apparently, repeated threats of conventional hijackings by Islamic fanatics keen on killing Americans were deemed unworthy of public mention by a junta the New York Times accused of “Seizing Dictatorial Power”. [Nov. 15, 2001] But an unfazed Fleischer fantasized that Bush administrators would have hit alarm buttons if they’d dared dream that al Qaeda hijackers might turn commercial airliners into flying bombs.

Had Ari Fleischer forgotten President Putin’s warnings to Washington “in the strongest possible terms” of imminent attacks on prominent symbols of American business and military might? Repeated throughout the month of August, Moscow’s urgent messages specified that 25 terrorist pilots had been specifically trained for suicide missions. [Interview with President Putin MS-NBC Sept. 15, 2001]

In this, Putin proved precise. Boxcutters found on two airliners diverted to Canada subsequently raised the number of targeted suicide planes to six, and the estimated number of hijackers to 25.

A leading Germany daily newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that at least three months before Sept. 11, US intelligence agencies learned that “Middle Eastern terrorists were planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli culture.” [Sept. 14, 2001]

This could not have been news to American alphabet agencies. In the months leading up to Sept. 11, the CIA was actively tracking as many as six bin Laden cells, whose members were making homes and learning news skills in the USA.

q According to ex-CIA chief Stansfield Turner, every phone line, cell phone call and email was intercepted.

q Vanity Fair’s Henry Porter reveals that “hundreds” of Sept. 11 ringleader Mohamed Atta’s cell phone calls were intercepted and traced by the CIA. [Dec. 2001]

q Documents obtained by the Baltimore Sun boasted that National Security Agency officials “sometimes played tapes of bin Laden talking to his mother to impress members of Congress.” [April 24, 2001]
WRIGHT AND WRONG
FBI agent Robert Wright wonders why no one intervened. On May 11, his lawsuit made the Washington Post after the agent alleged that senior intelligence officials had blocked investigations that could have led to the apprehension of the terrorists before Sept. 11.

Wright confirmed that Minneapolis FBI agents were yanked off the case after arresting a suspicious Middle Eastern flight student named Moussaoui - and finding Boeing fight manuals and several passports in the trunk of his car.

When the French Directorate of Territorial Security (DST) flagged the feds that Moussaoui was a known al Qaeda terrorist, FBI counterterror specialists were ordered not to probe Moussaoui’s activities and associations.

Angry agents beseeched David Schippers to intercede on their behalf. The prominent Clinton-impeachment attorney asked Attorney General Ashcroft to allow intensified investigation of a known al Qaeda operative, who wanted to learn how to turn and bank heavy aircraft - without landing or taking off.

After schlepping with Schippers, Ashcroft immediately ordered a halt to all investigations into the man now regarded as a prime accomplice in the Sept. 11 hijackings.

Why were Wright’s worries ignored by the same superiors who refused permission to mess with Moussaoui? As Newsweek noted on May 16: “When agents learned, from French intelligence, that he had radical Islamic ties, they sought a national-security warrant to search his computer - and got turned down. From his e-mail traffic they found he wanted to learn to fly a 747.”

Just days before the Sept. 11 attack, as a crack counterterror team frantically mused over Moussaoui’s motives, the FBI agents were “in a frenzy,” recalls a senior official, “absolutely convinced he was planning to do something with a plane.”

In his memo to superiors, Wright wrote that “one possibility” was that Moussaoui might be planning to hijack an airliner and crash it into the World Trade Center.

The FBI failed to broadcast Wright’s prophecy. They also neglected to correlate this experienced agent’s threat-assessment with agent Kenneth Williams’ “Phoenix memo”, which warned of similarly suspicious Middle Eastern flight students two months before the airborne attacks on the World Trade Center..

On May 30th, Wright appeared at a televised press conference to say that “as a direct result of the incompetence, and at times intentional obstruction of justice by FBI management to prevent me from bringing terrorists to justice, Americans have unknowingly been exposed to potential terrorist attacks for years.” [C-SPAN]

A whistle-blowing Wright further claims that his FBI employers prevented him from interdicting the financiers of Osama bin Laden’s terror network, after Washington ordered agents to avoid offending the bin Laden and Royal Saudi families.

Long-suspected as heavy donors to “charities” that help terrorists kill Americans, the King of the Saudi Kingdom, who holds to the same strict, anti-modern brand of fundamentalist Wahhabism embraced by Osama bin Laden - and the ultra wealthy bin Laden family who spawned him - are “must not offend” gateways to strategic US interests in the oil-rich Middle East.

Their privileged status is impressive.

The Israeli Connection to Sept 11

by MC-B Thursday, Jul. 11, 2002 at 3:10 AM

It has been circulated in the media everywhere in the world but the USA that israel has a strong hand (facilitating or even planning) in september 11attack.

1. Presedent Bush in his speech to the congress stated that 130 israelis were killed in WTC (plain false, go to CNN and find out that it was only 1 [one] israeli citizen. Was the presedint misfed wrong information ?? to cover up.

2. The list of investors that had an appoi9ntment in the WTC 9/11 and did not show up (still alive) is being/was destroyed by rudolph Juliani [a atrong israel proponent]. He hijacked the city document to a private location called "the Juliani foundation" for selective destruction of records. Also, among these records are the names of the employees of the WTC which is by large proisrael personnel (based on their tax deducted donations to israel linked organizations). By percentage only under 1% of this group of workers showed up for work that day.

There is a lack of evidence of hijacking of the three plans that hit target...??? the only one that is proven to be hijacked is the PA and that exploded (did not crash) in the air [CNN reports on september 12 that parts of the plan were found 60 miles away from the crash site]. Was that the plan that was supposed to show that hijacking took place??

The 19 hijackers (if they were) were never shown on surviellance videos in the airport of departure...were they actually on the plains or their named were hacked in the airline computers.

The pasport found 20 blocks away from WTC in NY, screams planted evidence and shows that the owner was not on the flight. I have no knowledge of a country making their passports fire and blast resistant...

The events that preceeded the attack:
A) 8-01 Israel named as a racist state by the interrnational confrence on racism in south africa, the USA and israel pulled out, european group forced the language of the final document to be changed.

B) Summer of 2001 A. Sharon cancel his trip to Belgium for fear of being arrested for war crimes since a case was filled against him in that country.

C) The Alqada vows to train more that 20,000 to fight in israel to help the uprising.

D) The economy was slumping fast and the administration had now way to stop it. After 9/11 on NPR "the president is of the hook, now it will be Ben Laden Economy" not Bush's economy.

I appreciate reading the truth, concerning 911. I felt the same as you wrote about, and I could not for the life of me why no one publicly put 2 and 2 together about 911. I gotta go, but will talk to you later.

none dare call it treason

by Fascism Admirer Monday, Nov. 25, 2002 at 5:15 AM

Hotel employees sat watching the film in shock and horror several times before the FBI confiscated the video as part of its investigation. It may be the only available video of the attack. The Pentagon has told broadcast news reporters that its security cameras did NOT capture the crash.
--Gertzfile, September 21, 2001

Velasquez says the gas station's security cameras are close enough to the Pentagon to have recorded the moment of impact. "I've never seen what the pictures looked like," he said. "The FBI was here within minutes and took the film."
--National Geographic, December 11, 2001

CNN's Jamie MacIntyre: "witnesses told me the day this happened that the plane -American Airlines Flight 77 - came in extremely low, but I'm not sure I realized how low it was until I saw these sequence of pictures that CNN obtained from....a.....that were taken by a Pentagon security camera."
--CNN, report and "video", March, 2002

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second plane looked similar to a C- 130 transport plane, [Keith Wheelhouse] said. He believes it flew directly above the American Airlines jet, ***as if to prevent two planes from appearing on radar - while at the same time - guiding the jet toward the Pentagon***.
--Daily Press, September 14, 2001
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/dailypress/main/results.html?num=25&st=basic&QryTxt=%22Keith%2BWheelhouse%22&datetype=7

Kelly Knowles, a First Colonial High School alumnus who now lives in an apartment a few miles from the Pentagon, said some sort of plane followed the doomed American Airlines jet toward the Pentagon, then veered away after the explosion.

At the same time, [Keith Wheelhouse] and his sister, Pam Young, who lives in Surry, were preparing to leave a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, which is less than a mile from the Pentagon, when they watched the jet approach and slam into the Pentagon. Both of them, as well as at least one other personat the funeral, insist that there was another plane flying near the hijacked jet.
--Daily Press, September 15, 2001
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/dailypress/main/results.html?num=25&st=basic&QryTxt=%22Keith%2BWheelhouse%22&datetype=7

“Then the plane -- it looked like a C-130 cargo plane -- started turning away from the Pentagon, it did a complete turnaround.
--New York Lawyer
http://www.nylawyer.com/news/01/09/09601l.html

Off to the west, Sucherman saw another plane climb steeply and make a sharp turn. "I thought, 'Is this thing coming around to make a second attack? If there is another explosion, we're toast.'"
--eWeek
http://www.eweek.com/article/0,3658,s=704&a=15161,00.asp

As we watched the black plume gather strength, less than a minute after the explosion, we saw an odd sight that no one else has yet commented on. Directly in back of the plume, which would place it almost due west from our office, a four-engine propeller plane, which Ray later said resembled a C-130, started a steep decent towards the Pentagon.
--Cloth Monkey
http://www.clothmonkey.com/91101.htm

Within moments there was a very loud bang, which seemed to come from the direction of Henderson Hall. At least, all the heads turned towards Henderson. It is possible that this was a secondary explosion from the Pentagon or possibly an F-16 going supersonic.[...] The only large fixed wing aircraft to appear was a gray C-130, which appeared to be a Navy electronic warfare aircraft, he seemed to survey the area and depart in on a westerly heading.
--Our Net Family
http://www.ournetfamily.com/WarOnTerror/emails/pentagonwitness.html

[Keith Wheelhouse] and at least two other witnesses to the Pentagon attack were troubled that Pentagon spokesmen had until now said they were unaware of a C-130 being in the area at the time. In the days immediately following the Sept. 11 hijackings, the Pentagon had no knowledge of the C-130's encounter, because........all reports were classified by the Air National Guard(!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

said Milburn. "It was like a WHOOOSH whoosh, then there was fire and smoke, then I heard a second explosion."
--WashingtonPost
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12920-2001Sep11.html

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The airliner crashed between two and three hundred feet from my office in the Pentagon, just around a corner from where I work. I'm the deputy General Counsel, Washington Headquarters Services, Office of the Secretary of Defense. A slightly different calibration and I have no doubt I wouldn't be sending this to you. My colleagues felt the impact, which reminded them of an earthquake. People shouted in the corridor outside that a bomb had gone off upstairs on the main concourse in the building. No alarms sounded. I walked to my office, shut down my computer, and headed out. Even before stepping outside I could smell the CORDITE.
THEN I KNEW EXPLOSIVES HAD BEEN SET OFF SOMEWHERE.
--McSweeney's
http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2001/09/19perkal.html

A personnel attorney at the Pentagon, Goldsmith was riding a shuttle bus to work on Tuesday, Sept. 11, when she learned of the attack on the World Trade Center. [...] "We saw a huge black cloud of smoke," she said, saying it smelled like CORDITE or gun smoke.
--Jewish Bulletin News
http://www.jewishsf.com/bk010921/usp14a.shtml

Witnesses told CNN that a helicopter circled the Pentagon and disappeared on the other side of the building shortly before the explosion and fireball.
--copy of CNN report @ Lake Today
http://www.laketoday.com/cgi-bin/laketoday/showstory.cgi?topstories&189

PLANT (LIVE): Well, and speaking to people here at the Pentagon, as they're being evacuated from the building. I'm told by several people that there was, in fact, an explosion. I was told by one witness, an Air Force enlisted - senior enlisted man, that he was outside when it occurred. He said that he saw a helicopter circle the building. He said it appeared to be a U.S. military helicopter, and that it disappeared behind the building where the helicopter landing zone is - excuse me - and he then saw fireball go into the sky.[...]It's a very tense situation obviously, but initial reports from witnesses indicate that **there was in fact a helicopter circling the building, contrary to what the AP reported, according to the witnessess I've spoken to anyway, and that this helicopter disappeared behind the building, and that there was then an explosion.**
That's about all I have from here.

Pet Goat Story - September 11, 2001 (realtime)

JENNINGS: Many thanks, Lindsay Grimm, who saw this occurring, at least the first--hesitate to call it an attack--the first incident. We'll continue to call it for now, and very much the second one now. That's what it looks like, both of the towers in--twin trade towers are now on fire. We have no idea whatsoever the measure of casualties inside or the measure of damage inside, though you can only imagine it. The New York City Office of Emergency Management said to us a short while ago they do not know what happened yet.

Want to check in very quickly with the president of the United States. John Cochran with the president in Florida. John:

JOHN COCHRAN reporting:

Peter, as you know, the president's down in Florida talking about education. He got out of his hotel suite this morning, was about to leave, reporters saw the White House chief of staff, Andy Card, whisper into his ear. The reporter said to the president, 'Do you know what's going on in New York?' He said he did, and he said he will have something about it later. His first event is about half an hour at an elementary school in Sarasota, Florida.

JENNINGS: Thanks, John. John Cochran with the president
ABC Transcript @ Emperors Clothes

Pet Goat Story - September 12, 2001

Mr. Bush was informed that a plane had hit the World Trade Center in a telephone conversation with Ms. Rice shortly before walking into a second-grade classroom at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Fla. White House officials said he knew only that it was a single aircraft and not necessarily a terrorist attack. The president did not appear preoccupied until a few moments later, around 9:05a.m., when his chief of staff, Andrew H. Card Jr., entered the room and whispered into the president's ear about the second plane attack.At that moment Mr. Bush's face became visibly tense and serious. [...]

"This is a difficult time for America," Mr. Bush said. Air Force One departed from Sarasota at 9:55 a.m.

THE PRESIDENT (sic): Hi, Patricia; how are you? How old is Patricia?

Q: Five, and Jordan is in 3rd grade. And Jordan has a question, if I could give him the microphone.

THE PRESIDENT (sic): You bet. Your mother is relaying the Mike to you, Jordan.

Q: One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much you've done for this country. And another thing is that, how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack? (Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT (sic): Thank you, Jordan. Well, Jordan, you're not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my Chief of Staff, Andy Card -- actually, I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident.

Pet Goat Story - January 5, 2001

Q: What was the first thing that went through your head when you heard that a plane crashed into the first building?

THE PRESIDENT (sic):: Yes. Well, I was sitting in a schoolhouse in Florida. I had gone down to tell my little brother what to do, and -- just kidding, Jeb. (Laughter.) And -- it's the mother in me. (Laughter.) Anyway, I was in the midst of learning about a reading program that works. I'm a big believer in basic education, and it starts with making sure every child learns to read. And therefore, we need to focus on the science of reading, not what may feel good or sound good when it comes to teaching children to read. (Applause.) I'm just getting a plug in for my reading initiative.

Anyway, I was sitting there, and my Chief of Staff -- well, first of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on. And you know, I thought it was pilot error and I was amazed that anybody could make such a terrible mistake. And something was wrong with the plane, or -- anyway, I'm sitting there, listening to the briefing, and Andy Card came and said, "America is under attack."

Pet Goat Story - September 10, 2002

BREITWEISER: I think what really initially started was I saw the picture of the president in, I think it was “Newsweek” or “Time” magazine, and I read the caption. And the caption said, you know, “Andy Card telling the president about the second plane.” And then I read that he proceeded to read for 25 minutes to the 2nd- graders. He was in a Sarasota school that morning for a reading program. And I read it again, and I thought it was, you know, misreported. And it wasn’t, and I got upset. I said, you know, this nation was under attack. It was clear that we were under attack. Why didn’t the Secret Service whisk him out of that school? He was on live local television in Florida. The terrorists, you know, had been in Florida. I mean, we

DONAHUE: Right.

BREITWEISER: And I-I am concerned. I want to know why the Secret Service did not whisk him away. I want to know why he is the commander-in-chief of the United States of America, our country was clearly under attack, it was after the second building was hit. I want to know why he sat there for 25 minutes.

Pet Goat Story - September 12, 2002

New York Post
September 12th 2002
Teacher relives moment Bush- and her kids- got the news

"...at Emma E. Booker Elementary School, teacher Sandra Daniels recalled yesterday how she and her class learned of the terror attacks- when a Secret Service agent rushed into the room to inform the president of United States.

President Bush had been presiding over her reading class last 9/11, when a Secret Service agent interrupted the lesson and asked, "where can we get a television?".

"The President bolted right out of here and told me: "take over", Daniels told the Post yesterday...

...a short while later he came back and said, 'What we thought was an accident turned out to be a terrorist hijack."

to whom it may concern:
Since my last visit to your site, alot of things have been going through my mind concerning the bush ad-ministration's concept of deceit.
As i ponder over the way the 2000 election was rigged by bush and his cronies, i cani't help but feel that bush assumes the thinking that americans are just plain brainless. In my research, I have found connections to James baker and friends, entwined together through corporate giants such as Carlyle,Haliburton, spreading his largess of misdeeds
through to his friends at the white house as far back as the sixties and continuing on to this day. I am appalled that know one can make, much less see the connections that bush and cheney, as well as several
other people ,places and things have in common.
Every Item and/or article and or incident that has taken place under certain presidents have been devious and have taken on a contrite cover. I'm still sad that our astronauts of the challenger and columbia tragediesare no longer with us based on someone's decision at Nasa and the white house to push the " RED IMINENT DESTRUCT BUTTON", which is a requirement, when it is thought that the shuttle would
be in dangerto one's self and or to the public. In this last shuttle situation, Nasa knew before flight that there was a possibility of danger to the crew, but allowed the flight anyway. Once after liftoff, and the truth set in, no one made the decision to let the crew know of there demise, but instead the white house and nasa chaulked it all up as another life lost , only to be replaced by birth and life goes on. I think it is very sad that america can look at politicians in a polictial
sense such as bush 1 and 2, and then look at our
astronauts and soldiers dying by the dozen. When
Mike Spann died, he didn't die because of an uprising,
by militants in afghanistan, he died because, after finding out about the other young american that was
working with the taliban and by now his cover may have been blown than the united states failed to get him out. It behooves me that the C.I.A did not have an
exit plan for mike spann, but was able to get out the other young american so safely without an uprising.
Mike was to smart to have gotten caught up in an uprising, espcially when their trained so well for such
trouble, and as well to know what to look out for.
There is another 9/11 on the way facilitated in part by the united states. Hard to believe?, not really when
it's the dollar involved and an abundance of ways to
make those dollars at the expense of the dead, the
employed few, corporate and goverment screwballing,
and a underground operation of secret operatives that we're always told that do not exist. I'm tired of the lies
that keep america separate from the world, itself and
it's own people. Bush is sending God knows what to other countries, and cannot take care of his own people, but can take care people in his,and I repeat, his own backyard. I'm going to go now, until next time.

P.S. I watched Pearl Harbor on A.B.C. last night and found it to be somewhat a sad reality, seeing that once again, America has let ther guard down again concerning 9/11. Always remember, three strikes and we're out..............
