Pentagon and flight 77

Note: this is not my original text, this information was received from various websites that you may find links to on this site.

Newshounds is correct in stating that a more comprehensive investigation should be undertaken as to what happened on Sept.11, 2001, if not by Fox News, then certainly by a reliable organization. According to official sources, the Pentagon was struck a blow by the third hijacked plane, American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757-200, at about 9:38 AM. What raises questions is the damage done by the plane. Pictures taken before the Pentagon's west block collapsed show a hole just 13 feet wide and 26 feet high. Research scientist and software engineer Jim Hoffman explains {" '9/11'" Great Crimes/ A Greater Cover-up, p.7} that a 757 is over 44 feet high; its wingspan is over 124 feet; and as the aitrcraft that hit the Pentagon approached at a 45-degree angle, he calculates that the damage a 757 would have made would be about 177 feet in width. There is some additional damage across the building's first floor, but this covers only an area about 90 feet in width.

Another mystery is that the damage was so low in the building that, for Flight 77 to have caused it, it would need to have perfectly horizontally, barely inching above the lawn in front of the Pentagon. Yet, photos clearly show that the lawn was left perfectly intact, with no scorch marks or signs of gouging from a Boeing. Nor do any photographs show large pieces of debris recognizable as belonging to Flight 77. Seemingly, 60 tons of aluminum simply disappeared.

April Gallop, who worked at the Pentagon when the explosion occurred, was visited afterwards at a hospital by men in suits who never identified themselves to her, but told her "what to do, which was to take the {Victim Compensation Fund} money and shut up. They also kept insisting that a plane hit the building. They repeated this over and over. But I was there and I never saw a plane or even debris from a plane". {"Inside Job: Unmasking the 9/11 Conspiracies" Jim Marrs 2004 p. 26}.

Also, video footage that would show the Pentagon being hit was promptly seized by the FBI and has never been made public. The security cameras of a nearby gas station and hotel caught the attack but were quickly confiscated by the FBI.

Are all of these things a coincidence or a sign of, shall we dare say it, a cover-up? At the very least, 9/11 calls for a more thorough investigation than what has been brought forth by the 9/11 commission.

We now know Flight 77 was not crashed into the Pentagon.

We now know Flight 77 was not crashed into the Pentagon.
An F-16 flew over the Boeing 757 for a while, and then the airliner was
diverted with transponder off, flown by remote control to either
crash site or a landing site known only to the 911 perpetrators. Passengers
and crew
may be alive or may have been alive as captives some days following
September 11.

I know this is far-fetched. I know this is not what the families of the
victims need to hear right now. But there is a possibility that kidnap
victims are being held somewhere and my responsibility is to them if they
exist (and I think they may.)

When I leered that Hillary Clinton's severest biographer critic, Barbara
Olsen was on Flight 77 it became important to learn what business put her on
Flight 77 to Los Angeles on September 11. From now on the passengers of
flight 77 must be considered possible kidnap victims. The amorality and
arrogance of the criminal elites responsible for the 911 frame-up make this
a reasonable suspicion and avenue of investigation. But another theory
that must be also be tested against the facts
involves a willing cell-phone actress. Intelligent internet discussants of
every political stripe are concluding that Flight 77 was not destroyed at
the Pentagon. We must determine where the abductors took that plane.

I have long been convinced that Hillary Clinton was behind the Nicole Brown
and Ron Goldman murders that created the distraction the night before the
very day Hillary became the first First Lady to testify in a criminal
investigation. I also know that she was involved in serious economic crime
when she received criminal payment for corrupt services in the form of a
million-to-one (i.e. impossible to come by honestly) illegally manipulated
first-timer bonanza killing in the commodities futures speculation. Also,
that she had one of the Secret Service men she detested, a man who might
have heard too much, transferred to Okalahoma city -- to perish in the
bombing of the Murrah Federal Building there, even as the
drug-trade-dealing BATF chose to be away from the office that day. And
there is the Vince Foster murder. If Mrs. Olsen is in the hands of Hillary
Clinton and her associates now, I am sure she would much rather be in the
Atlantic trench.

Ever wonder about all the unaccounted-for time that Bill Clinton (that
closet Bush man and cfr stooge and hit man) spent in Harlem, New York prior
to September 11.

It's time for the many who know about these crimes to come forward -- but
come forward to the internet first -- it is the people, not the criminals
who need to hear your story.

3.29.02
911 'phone calls' from doomed planes NEVER HAPPENED

-- (It's) "easy to imagine an infinite number of situations . . . where
government officials might quite legitimately have reasons to give false
information out." -- US Solicitor General Ted Olson, husband of the late
Barbara Olson

Find out how the BushMob/FedGov set the foundation and cornerstone for
their MASSIVE tower of lies regarding what happened on 9.11.

It was all based on those alleged cell phone calls which ever-ingenious
Fed arch-traitors have claimed were placed by the likes of Barbara Olson
and Todd Beamer, in which the intrepid and resourceful cell-phoners
allegedly described how towel-headed Islamic "hijackers" armed with "box
cutters" and other such weapons of mass destruction were allegedly in
the act of commandeering large passenger aircraft... even as they
apparently generously allowed Olson, Beamer and others to place their
alleged cell phone calls.

It is PROVEN: those calls could NEVER have been made, and WERE NEVER MADE.

And upon this have the BushMob arch-traitors constructed their tower
crap-pile of wretched 9.11 lies.

And just THINK about what a COLD-BLOODED GHOUL this Ted Olson is: now
that WE KNOW that HE KNEW his own wife was literally being sacrificed on
9.11, to further the supremely DIABOLICAL and satanic agendas of the
globalist BushMob's upper echelon.

Mother of All Lies About 9/11
Barbara Olson's "Phone Call" From Flight 77

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steveseymour/lies911/lies.htm

This is a story about a little white lie that bred dozens of other little white lies, then hundreds of bigger white lies and so on, to the point where the first little white lie must be credited as the "Mother of All Lies" about events on 11 September 2001. For this was the little white lie that first activated the American psyche, generated mass loathing, and enabled media manipulation of the global population.
Without this little white lie there would have been no Arab Hijackers, no Osama Bin Laden directing operations from afar, and no "War on Terror" in Afghanistan and occupied Palestine. Clearly the lie was so clever and diabolical in nature, it must have been generated by the "Power Elite" in one of its more earthly manifestations. Perhaps it was the work of the Council on Foreign Relations, or the Trilateral Commission?
No, it was not. Though at the time the little white lie was flagged with a powerful political name, there was and remains no evidence to support the connection. Just like the corrupt and premature Lee Harvey Oswald story in 1963, there are verifiable fatal errors which ultimately prove the little white lie was solely the work of members of the media. Only they had access, and only they had the methods and means.
The little white lie was about Barbara Olson, a conservative commentator for CNN and wife of US Solicitor General Ted Olson. Now deceased, Mrs. Olson is alleged to have twice called her husband from an American Airlines Flight 77 seat-telephone, before the aircraft slammed into the Pentagon. This unsubstantiated claim, reported by CNN remarkably quickly at 2.06 am EDT [0606 GMT] on September 12, was the solitary foundation on which the spurious "Hijacker" story was built.
Without the "eminent" Barbara Olson and her alleged emotional telephone calls, there would never be any proof that humans played a role in the hijack and destruction of the four aircraft that day. Look-alike claims surfaced several days later on September 16 about passenger Todd Beamer and others, but it is critically important to remember here that the Barbara Olson story was the only one on September 11 and. 12. It was beyond question the artificial "seed" that started the media snowball rolling down the hill.
And once the snowball started rolling down the hill, it artfully picked up Osama Bin Laden and a host of other "terrorists" on the way. By noon on September 12, every paid glassy-eyed media commentator in America was either spilling his guts about those "Terrible Muslim hijackers", or liberating hitherto classified information about Osama Bin Laden. "Oh sure, it was Bin Laden," they said blithely, oblivious to anything apart from their television appearance fees.
The deliberate little white lie was essential. Ask yourself: What would most Americans have been thinking about on September 12, if CNN had not provided this timely fiction? Would anyone anywhere have really believed the insane government story about failed Cessna pilots with box cutters taking over heavy jets, then hurling them expertly around the sky like polished Top Guns from the film of the same name? Of course not! As previously stated there would have been no Osama Bin Laden, and no "War on Terror" in Afghanistan and occupied Palestine.
This report is designed to examine the sequence of the Olson events and lay them bare for public examination. Dates and times are of crucial importance here, so if this report seems tedious try to bear with me. Before moving on to discuss the impossibility of the alleged calls, we first need to examine how CNN managed to "find out" about them, reported here in the September 12 CNN story at 2.06 am EDT:
"Barbara Olson, a conservative commentator and attorney, alerted her husband, Solicitor General Ted Olson, that the plane she was on was being hijacked Tuesday morning, Ted Olson told CNN. Shortly afterwards Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon" … "Ted Olson told CNN that his wife said all passengers and flight personnel, including the pilots, were herded to the back of the plane by armed hijackers. The only weapons she mentioned were knives and cardboard cutters. She felt nobody was in charge and asked her husband to tell the pilot what to do."
At no point in the above report does CNN quote Ted Olson directly. If the report was authentic and 100% attributable, it would have been phrased quite differently. Instead of "Ted Olson told CNN that his wife said all passengers and flight personnel…", the passage would read approximately:- Mr. Olson told CNN, "My wife said all passengers and flight personnel…" Whoever wrote this story was certainly not in direct contact with US Solicitor General Ted Olson.
Think about it, people! If you knew or suspected your spouse’s aircraft had just fireballed inside the Pentagon building, how would you spend the rest of the day? Initially you would certainly be in deep shock and unwilling to believe the reports. Then you would start to gather your wits together, a slow process in itself. After that and depending on individual personality, you might drive over to the Pentagon on the off chance your spouse survived the horrific crash, or you might go home and wait for emergency services to bring you the inevitable bad news. As a matter of record, Ted Olson did not return to work until six days later.
About the last thing on your mind [especially if you happened to be the US Solicitor General], would be to pick up a telephone and call the CNN Atlanta news desk in order to give them a "scoop". As a seasoned politician you would already know that all matters involving national security must first be vetted by the National Security Council. Under the extraordinary circumstances and security overkill existing on September 11, this vetting process would have taken a minimum of two days, and more likely three.
The timing of the CNN news release about Barbara Olson, is therefore as impossible as the New Zealand press release back in 1963 about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As reported independently by Colonel Fletcher Prouty USAF (Retired), whoever set Kennedy up, accidentally launched a full international newswire biography on obscure "killer" Lee Harvey Oswald, without first taking the trouble to check his world clock.
It was still "yesterday" in New Zealand on the other side of the International Date Line when the biography was wired from New York, enabling the Christchurch Star newspaper was able to print a story about Oswald as the prime suspect in its morning edition, several hours before he was first accused of the crime by Dallas police.
If the CNN story about Ted Olson had been correct, and he really had called them about Barbara on September 11, then he would most surely have followed the telephone call up a few days later with a tasteful "one-on-one" television interview, telling the hushed and respectful interviewer about how badly he missed his wife, and about the sheer horror of it all.
There is no record of any such interview in the CNN or other archives. Indeed, if you key "Barbara Olson" into the CNN search engine, it returns only two related articles. The first is the creative invention on September 12 at 2.06 am EDT [0606 GMT], and the second is on December 12, about President Bush, who led a White House memorial that began at 8:46 a.m. EST, the moment the first hijacked plane hit the World Trade Center three months before. CNN includes this comment about Ted Olson:
"In a poignant remembrance at the Justice Department, U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson referred to "the sufferings we have all experienced." He made no direct reference to the death of his wife, Barbara Olson, who was a passenger aboard the American Airlines flight that crashed into the Pentagon…"
Regarding the same event, Fox News reports that, extraordinarily, Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson then said Barbara Olson's call, made "in the midst of terrible danger and turmoil swirling around her," was a "clarion call that awakened our nation's leaders to the true nature of the events of Sept. 11."
So Ted Olson avoided making any direct personal reference to the death of his wife. Clearly this was not good enough for someone somewhere. By the sixth month anniversary of the attack, Ted Olson was allegedly interviewed by London Telegraph reporter Toby Harnden, with his exclusive story "She Asked Me How To Stop The Plane" appearing in that London newspaper on March 5, thereafter renamed and syndicated around dozens of western countries as "Revenge Of The Spitfire", finally appearing in the West Australian newspaper on Saturday March 23, 2002.
I have diligently tried to find a copy of this story in an American newspaper but have so far failed. The reasons for this rather perverse "external" publication of Ted Olson’s story are not yet clear, but it seems fair to observe that if he is ever challenged by a Senate Select Committee about the veracity of his claims, the story could not be used against him because it was published outside American sovereign territory.
Regardless of the real reason or reasons for its publication, the story seems to have matured a lot since the first decoy news release by CNN early on September 12, 2001. Here we have considerably more detail, some of which is frankly impossible. In the alleged words of US Solicitor General Theodore Olson:
"She [Barbara] had trouble getting through, because she wasn’t using her cell phone – she was using the phone in the passengers’ seats," said Mr. Olson. "I guess she didn’t have her purse, because she was calling collect, and she was trying to get through to the Department of Justice, which is never very easy." … "She wanted to know ‘What can I tell the pilot? What can I do? How can I stop this?’ "
"What Can I tell the pilot?" Yes indeed! The forged Barbara Olson telephone call claims that the flight deck crew were with her at the back of the aircraft, presumably politely ushered down there by the box cutter-wielding Muslim maniacs, who for some bizarre reason decided not to cut their throats on the flight deck. Have you ever heard anything quite so ridiculous?
But it is at this juncture that we finally have the terminal error. Though the American Airlines Boeing 757 is fitted with individual telephones at each seat position, they are not of the variety where you can simply pick up the handset and ask for an operator. On many aircraft you can talk from one seat to another in the aircraft free of charge, but if you wish to access the outside world you must first swipe your credit card through the telephone. By Ted Olson’s own admission, Barbara did not have a credit card with her.
It gets worse. On American Airlines there is a telephone "setup" charge of US$2.50 which can only be paid by credit card, then a US$2.50 (sometimes US$5.00) charge per minute of speech thereafter. The setup charge is the crucial element. Without paying it in advance by swiping your credit card you cannot access the external telephone network. Under these circumstances the passengers’ seat phone on a Boeing 757 is a much use as a plastic toy.
Perhaps Ted Olson made a mistake and Barbara managed to borrow a credit card from a fellow passenger? Not a chance. If Barbara had done so, once swiped through the phone, the credit card would have enabled her to call whoever she wanted to for as long as she liked, negating any requirement to call collect.
Sadly perhaps, the Olson telephone call claim is proved untrue. Any American official wishing to challenge this has only to subpoena the telephone company and Justice Department records. There will be no charge originating from American Airlines 77 to the US Solicitor General.
Even without this hard proof, the chances of meaningfully using a seat-telephone on Flight 77 were nil. We know from the intermittent glimpses of the aircraft the air traffic controllers had on the radar scopes, that Flight 77 was travelling at extreme speed at very low level, pulling high "G’ turns in the process.
Under these circumstances it would be difficult even reaching a phone, much less using it. Finally, the phones on the Boeing 757 rely on either ground cell phone towers or satellite bounce in order to maintain a stable connection. At very low altitude and extreme speed, the violent changes in aircraft attitude would render the normal telephone links completely unusable.
Exactly the same applies with United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed before reaching any targets. The aircraft was all over the place at extreme speed on radar, but as with Flight 77 we are asked to believe that the "hijackers" allowed a passenger called Todd Beamer to place a thirteen minute telephone call. Very considerate of them. The Pittsburg Channel put it this way in a story first posted at 1.38 pm EDT on September 16, 2001:
"Todd Beamer placed a call on one of the Boeing 757's on-board telephones and spoke for 13 minutes with GTE operator Lisa D. Jefferson, Beamer's wife said. He provided detailed information about the hijacking and -- after the operator told him about the morning's World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks - said he and others on the plane were planning to act against the terrorists aboard." Note here that Mrs. Lisa Beamer did not receive a telephone call from Todd personally, but was later "told" by an operator that her husband had allegedly called. Just another unfortunate media con job for the trash can.
As previously stated it is the Barbara Olson story that really counts, a view reinforced by the recent antics of the London print media. The photo at the top of this page is a copy of that printed in the West Australian newspaper. You only have to study it closely for a second to realize its full subliminal potential.
Here is a studious and obviously very honest man. The US Solicitor General sits in front of a wall lined with leather-bound volumes of Supreme Court Arguments, with a photo of his dead wife displayed prominently in front of him. Does anyone out there seriously believe that this man, a bastion of US law, would tell even a minor lie on a matter as grave as national security?
Theodore Olson’s own words indicate that he would be prepared to do rather more than that On March 21, 2002 on its page A35, the Washington Post newspaper printed an article titled "The Limits of Lying" by Jim Hoagland, who writes that a statement by Solicitor General Theodore Olson in the Supreme Court has the ring of perverse honesty.
Addressing the Supreme Court of the United States of America, US Solicitor General Theodore Olson said it is "easy to imagine an infinite number of situations . . . where government officials might quite legitimately have reasons to give false information out."

Pentagon MASCAL exercise simulates scenarios in preparing for
emergencies

Military District of Washington - News: Contingency planning

PENTAGRAM [actual title of official newsletter!]
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE NEWS
Washington, D.C., Nov. 3, 2000

The fire and smoke from the downed passenger aircraft billows
from the Pentagon courtyard. Defense Protective Services Police
seal the crash sight. Army medics, nurses and doctors scramble to
organize aid. An Arlington Fire Department chief dispatches his
equipment to the affected areas.

Don Abbott, of Command Emergency Response Training, walks over to
the Pentagon and extinguishes the flames. The Pentagon was a
model and the "plane crash" was a simulated one.

The Pentagon Mass Casualty Exercise, as the crash was called, was
just one of several scenarios that emergency response teams were
exposed to Oct. 24-26 in the Office of the Secretaries of
Defense conference room.

On Oct. 24, there was a mock terrorist incident at the Pentagon
Metro stop and a construction accident to name just some of the
scenarios that were practiced to better prepare local agencies
for real incidents.

To conduct the exercise, emergency personnel hold radios that are
used to rush help to the proper places, while toy trucks
representing rescue equipment are pushed around the exercise
table.

Cards are then passed out to the various players designating the
number of casualties and where they should be sent in a given
scenario.

To conduct the exercise, a medic reports to Army nurse Maj. Lorie
Brown a list of 28 casualties so far. Brown then contacts her
superior on the radio, Col. James Geiling, a doctor in the
command room across the hall.

Geiling approves Brown's request for helicopters to evacuate the
wounded. A policeman in the room recommends not moving bodies and
Abbott, playing the role of referee, nods his head in agreement.

"If you have to move dead bodies to get to live bodies, that's
okay," Abbott says as the situation unfolds.

Geiling remarked on the importance of such exercises.

"The most important thing is who are the players?" Geiling said.
"And what is their modus operandi?" Brown thought the exercise
was excellent preparation for any potential disasters.

"This is important so that we're better prepared," Brown said.
"This is to work out the bugs. Hopefully it will never happen,
but this way we're prepared."

An Army medic found the practice realistic.

"You get to see the people that we'll be dealing with and to
think about the scenarios and what you would do," Sgt. Kelly
Brown said. "It's a real good scenario and one that could happen
easily."

A major player in the exercise was the Arlington Fire Department.

Our role is fire and rescue," Battalion Chief R.W. Cornwell said.
"We get to see how each other operates and the roles and
responsibilities of each. You have to plan for this. Look at all
the air traffic around here."

Each participant was required to fill out an evaluation form
after the training exercise.

We go over scenarios that are germane to the Pentagon," Jake
Burrell of the Pentagon Emergency Management Team said. 'You play
the way you practice. We want people to go back to their
organizations and look at their S.O.P. (standard operating
procedure) and see how they responded to any of the incidents."

Burrell has coordinated these exercises for four years and he
remarked that his team gets better each year.

Abbott, in his after action critique, reminded the participants
that the actual disaster is only one-fifth of the incident and
that the whole emergency would run for seven to 20 days and might
involve as many as 17 agencies.

The emergency to a certain extent is the easiest part, Abbott
said. He reminded the group of the personal side of a disaster.
Families wanting to come to the crash sight for closure.

In this particular crash there would have been 341 victims.

The Pentagon—a building, institution, and symbol—was conceived at
the request of Brigadier General Brehon B. Sommervell, Chief of
the Construction Division of the Office of the Quartermaster
General, on a weekend in mid-July 1941. The purpose was to
provide a temporary solution to the War Department's critical
shortage of space. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on
September 11, 1941. The building was dedicated on January 15,
1943, nearly 16 months to the day after the groundbreaking.

PENTAGON CHIEFS PLANNED FOR JET ATTACK

MILITARY chiefs were so convinced terrorists could fly a plane
into the Pentagon that they planned for an attack.

Almost 11 months before the September 11 suicide mission killed
189 people at America's defence headquarters, they carried out a
detailed emergency exercise.

US authorities have consistently claimed they had no idea
al-Qaeda was thinking of crashing planes into buildings.
President Bush insists no one ever had considered such a
devastating attack.

But a report reveals that between October 24 and 26 2000,
military planners held an exercise to prepare for "incidents
including a passenger plane crashing into the Pentagon".

The report in an internal Pentagon newspaper reads like an
account of what actually happened: "The fire and smoke from the
downed aircraft billows from the courtyard.

"Defence Protective Services Police seal the crash site. Army
medics, nurses and doctors scramble to organise aid ... Fire
Department chief dispatches his equipment."

Democrats said the Mass Casualty Exercise added to proof that
different arms of government did not know what others were doing.

Senator Bob Graham, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee,
said: "We have a lot of information coming but it is not going to
the same source for analysis.

"So A knows part one, B knows part two and C knows part three but
nobody knows all the parts."

Pentagon emergency planning spokesman Glen Flood said: "We had
been aware there could be possible aeroplane accidents and we
have had various tabletop exercises."

The hijackers of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania intended
to hit the White House, it was revealed.

White House sources said the information had come from Abu
Zubaydah, a senior al-Qaeda terrorist who is being questioned at
an undisclosed destination.

The White House faced more embarrassment after the independent
Centre for Immigration Studies said at least half the 48 Muslim
militants linked to terrorist plots in the US since 1993 had
broken or abused immigration laws to stay in America.

Agency Planned Exercise On Sept. 11 Built Around A Plane Crashing
Into A Building

Aug 21, 2002 10:00 pm US/Eastern

(AP)-(Washington)-In what the government describes as a bizarre
coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an
exercise
last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft crashed
into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't
terrorism -- it was to be a simulated accident.

Officials at the Chantilly, Va.-based National
Reconnaissance Office had scheduled an
exercise that morning in which a small
corporate jet crashed into one of the four
towers at the agency's headquarters building
after experiencing a mechanical failure.

The agency is about four miles from the runways of Washington
Dulles
International Airport.

Agency chiefs came up with the scenario to test employees'
ability to respond to a disaster, said spokesman Art Haubold. To
simulate the damage from the plane, some stairwells and exits
were to be closed off, forcing employees to find other ways to
evacuate the building.

"It was just an incredible coincidence that this happened to
involve an aircraft crashing into our facility," Haubold said.
"As soon as the real world events began, we canceled the
exercise."

Terrorism was to play no role in the exercise, which had been
planned for several months, he said.

Adding to the coincidence, American Airlines Flight 77 -- the
Boeing 767 that was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon --
took off from Dulles at 8:10 a.m. on Sept. 11, 50 minutes before
the exercise was to begin. It struck the Pentagon around 9:40
a.m., killing 64 aboard the plane and 125 on the ground.

The National Reconnaissance Office operates many of the nation's
spy
satellites. It draws its personnel from the military and the CIA.

After the Sept. 11 attacks, most of the 3,000 people who work at
agency headquarters were sent home, save for some essential
personnel, Haubold said.

An announcement for an upcoming homeland security conference in
Chicago first noted the exercise.

In a promotion for speaker John Fulton, a CIA officer assigned as
chief of NRO's strategic gaming division, the announcement says,
"On the morning of September 11th 2001, Mr. Fulton and his team
... were running a pre-planned simulation to explore the
emergency response issues that would be created if a plane were
to strike a building. Little did they know that the scenario
would come true in a dramatic way that day."

The conference is being run by the National Law Enforcement and
Security Institute.

Agency planned exercise on Sept. 11 built around a plane crashing
into a building

Wed Aug 21, 7:45 PM ET

By JOHN J. LUMPKIN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - In what the government describes as a bizarre
coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an
exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft would crash
into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't terrorism — it
was to be a simulated accident.

Officials at the Chantilly, Virginia-based National
Reconnaissance Office had scheduled an exercise that morning in
which a
small corporate jet would crash into one of the four towers at
the agency's headquarters building after experiencing a
mechanical failure.

The agency is about 4 miles (6 kilometers) from the runways of
Washington Dulles International Airport.

Agency chiefs came up with the scenario to test employees'
ability to respond to a disaster, said spokesman Art Haubold.

No actual plane was to be involved — to simulate the damage from
the crash, some stairwells and exits were to be closed
off, forcing employees to find other ways to evacuate the
building.

"It was just an incredible coincidence that this happened to
involve an aircraft crashing into our facility," Haubold said.
"As
soon as the real world ( news - Y! TV) events began, we canceled
the exercise."

Terrorism was to play no role in the exercise, which had been
planned for several months, he said.

Adding to the coincidence, American Airlines Flight 77 — the
Boeing 767 that was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon (
news - web sites) — took off from Dulles at 8:10 a.m. on Sept.
11, 50 minutes before the exercise was to begin. It struck
the Pentagon around 9:40 a.m., killing 64 aboard the plane and
125 on the ground.

The National Reconnaissance Office operates many of the nation's
spy satellites. It draws its personnel from the military and
the CIA ( news - web sites).

After the Sept. 11 attacks, most of the 3,000 people who work at
agency headquarters were sent home, save for some
essential personnel, Haubold said.

An announcement for an upcoming homeland security conference in
Chicago first noted the exercise.

In a promotion for speaker John Fulton, a CIA officer assigned as
chief of NRO's strategic gaming division, the
announcement says, "On the morning of September 11th 2001, Mr.
Fulton and his team ... were running a pre-planned
simulation to explore the emergency response issues that would be
created if a plane were to strike a building. Little did they
know that the scenario would come true in a dramatic way that
day."

The conference is being run by the National Law Enforcement and
Security Institute.

jet fly past the window of his 14th-floor apartment in Pentagon
City. The plane was about 150 yards away, approaching from the
west about 20 feet off the ground, Patterson said. He said the
plane, which sounded like the high-pitched squeal of a fighter
jet, flew over Arlington cemetary so low that he thought it was
going to land on I-395. He said it was flying so fast that he
couldn't read any writing on the side. The plane, which appeared
to hold about eight to 12 people, headed straight for the
Pentagon but was flying as if coming in for a landing on a
nonexistent runway, Patterson said. Eyewitness described a small
jet aircraft seating a maximum of 12 passengers and crew, NOT an
airliner, flying "like a fighter jet" at high speed below treetop

"We could blow up a drone (unmannded) vessel anywhere in the
Cuban waters. The presense of Cuban planes or ships merely
investigating the intent of the vessel could be fairly compelling
evidence that the ship was taken under attack. The US could
follow with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US fighters to
"evacuate" remaining members of the non-existant crew. Casualty
lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national
indignation. We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in
the Miami area, in other Flordia cities and even in Washington.
The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking
haven in the United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans
enroute to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts
on lives of Cubans in the United States even to the extent of
wounding in instances to be widely publicized. Exploding a few
bombs in carefully chosen spots. The arrest of Cuban agents and
the release of prepared documents substantiating cuban
involvement. Use of MIG-type aircraft by US pilots could provide
additional provocation. Harassment of civil air, attacks on
surface shipping, and destruction of US military drone aircraft
by MIG type planes would be useful. An F-86 properly painted
would convince air passengers that they saw a Cuban MIG,
especially if the pilot of the transport were to announce that
fact. Hijacking attampts against US civil air and surface craft
should be encouraged. It is possible to create an incident which
would demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked
and shot down a chartered civilian airliner from the United
States. 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 subsituted for the actual civil
aircraft and the passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared
aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a
drone. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual
aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rondevous. From the
rondevous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to
minimum altitude and go directly to an auxiliary airfield at
Eglin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the
passengers and return the aircraft to its original status.
Meanwhile the drone aircraft will continue to fly the filed
flight plan. The drone will be transmitting on the international
distress frequency "MAY DAY" message stating it is under attack
by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by
the destruction of aircraft which will be triggered by radio
signal. This will allow IACO radio stations to tell the US what
has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to "sell"
the incident. It is possible to create an incident that will make
it appear that Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF
aircraft over international waters in an unprovoked attack. On
one such flight, a pre-briefed pilot would fly Tail-end Charlie.
While near the Cuban island this pilot would broadcast that he
had been jumped by MIGs and was going down. This pilot would then
fly at extremely low altitude and land at a secure base, an Eglin
auxiliary. The aircraft would be met by the proper people,
quickly stored and given a new tail number. The pilot who
performed the mission under an alias would resume his proper
identity. The pilot and aircraft would then have disappeared. A
submarine or small craft would distribute F-101 parts, parachute,
etc. The pilots retuning to Homestead would have a true story as
far as they knew. Search ships and aircraft could be dispatched
and parts of aircraft found. It is understood that the Department
of State is also preparing suggested courses of action to
develope justification for US military intervention in Cuba."

Beyond 2000 - CORPORATE PREDATOR DRONES

22 November 2001 - "Aerospace giant Boeing has decided that it
needs to give serious thought to cutting pilots out of the
cockpit. The company has established a new organisation dedicated
to efforts in the expanding 'unmanned systems' market and aimed
at fast-tracking the development of pilotless aircraft. At one
time, the US military said it had no desire to allow unmanned
aircraft to carry lethal payloads. However, following tests last
year with Predator UAV's firing Hellfire anti-tank missiles, and
the subsequent deployment and success of the pairing in killing
tanks in Afghanistan, the Pentagon has warmed rapidly to the
idea. The Boeing group will look at the feasibility of cheap,
expendable UAV's that could be sent on suicidal missions. Based
in St.Louis, the new Unmanned Systems group will be headed up by
Mike Heinz and report to both Jerry Daniels, president and chief
executive officer of Boeing Military Aircraft and Missile
Systems, and George Muellner, president, Boeing Phantom Works,
the company's advanced research-and-development unit. 'Unmanned
systems are the future of aerospace,' Daniels said."

War on terror - Landing by remote control doesn't quite fly with
pilots

By Jeff Long
Tribune staff reporter
Published September 28, 2001

The military has been flying planes and landing them safely by
remote control for years, but airline pilots say questions about
security must be answered before that technology is used aboard
commercial jetliners to thwart hijackers the way President Bush
suggested Thursday during a speech in Chicago. Pentagon's
Predator drone attacks Afganistan and Iraq

"We will look at all kinds of technologies to make sure that our
airlines are safe," Bush said at O'Hare International Airport.
"... including technology to enable controllers to take over
distressed aircraft and land it by remote control."

Pilots said after the speech that though they support other
proposals for airplane security that Bush outlined, the idea of
aircraft being remotely controlled concerns them.

"If the good guys can take control of the plane" from the ground,
said John Mazor, a spokesman for the Air Line Pilots Association,
"maybe the bad guys can take control of it too."

Taking control of a hijacked aircraft from the ground appears to
be less feasible than other measures, he said.

"We would view that as a very--very--long-term type of
undertaking," Mazor said. "There are enormous technical
difficulties in trying to rig up an aircraft for that."

But companies that have designed such systems for the military
say it wouldn't be difficult to adapt the technology for
commercial aircraft. Why did USAF pilots name the 1950s designed
Vietnam era F105 Thunderchief a THUD? Because it made a BIG THUD
when it hit the ground while using an autopilot with Low Altitude
Terrain Following RADAR

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. developed a
remote-controlled reconnaissance plane for the Air Force called
Predator, which flew in Bosnia during the conflict there. Used by
the military since 1994, it can be landed by pilots linked by
satellite using controls on the ground or ordering an onboard
computer to do the job.

Tom Cassidy, president and CEO of the San Diego company, said he
sent Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta a letter shortly
after the Sept. 11 attacks.

"Such a system would not prevent a hijacker from causing mayhem
on the aircraft or exploding a device and destroying the aircraft
in flight," the letter said, "but it would prevent him from
flying the aircraft into a building or populated areas."

Cassidy said Thursday that a pilot aboard a commercial airliner
could turn the plane's guidance over to ground controllers at the
press of a button, preventing a hijacker--or anyone else
aboard--from flying the plane.

That system also would keep people on the ground from taking
control of a plane away from the pilot, Cassidy said, because the
pilot would first have to give up control.

Aircraft anywhere in the nation could be remotely controlled from
just one or two locations using satellite links, Cassidy said.
Those locations could be heavily fortified against terrorists.

"The technology is available," Cassidy said. "We use it every
day."

POLICE MENTALITY - A MILITARY PERSPECTIVE
http://geocities.com/pentagon_whistleblower
[Pentagon special forces rescued Colonel Quadaffi before USAF and
US Navy bombers attacked Libya, killing 40 sleeping civilians and
2 sleeping USAF F111 pilots and 1 whistleblowing chief of public
affairs for USMC at Pentagon in Al Gore's hometown, plus the REAL
story behind the historic firing of USAF chief of staff during
Desert Storm]

Now let's look at the passengers

If there was a conspiracy with Flight 77, doesn't a lot of the following passengers fit the type of people you would expect to have been involved in it?

Summary of Flight 77 passengers:

Total passengers: 64

Passengers involved in gov’t/defense related work: 21

Senior staff/directors/managers: 18

Military backgrounds: 10

Navy background: 7

Executives/chief officers/presidents: 5

Men: 30

Women: 24

Kids: 5

Non-hijacker passengers: 59

Alleged Hijackers*: 5

*Allegedly armed with only knifes and box cutters.

Is it a just coincidence the most of the passengers on Flight 77 with military backgrounds were Navy and that the crash at the Pentagon happened in the Navy's command center which took the heaviest casualties?

Why didn't the passengers of Flight 77 rise up against the alleged hijackers like we are told the passengers on Flight 93 did since they both knew the hijackers were going to kill them?

"Herded to the back of the plane by hijackers armed with knives and box-cutters, the passengers and crew members of American Airlines Flight 77 -- including the wife of Solicitor General Theodore Olson -- were ordered to call relatives to say they were about to die." -Washington Post (09/12/01)

Is it really believable that all but one of the 64 passengers on Flight 77 were recovered at the Pentagon when almost nothing of a plane was?

If some of the passengers where involved with this conspiracy, could they still be alive and living under new identities? Where some of these passengers specifically selected to be on this flight as a way to eliminate them for "knowing to much"?

1. Charles F. Burlingame III, 51, of Herndon, Virginia, was the Captain of Flight 77, an aeronautical engineer, and a former Navy fighter pilot.

Pentagon Gives September 11 Pilot Arlington Plot "The U.S. Army agreed on Friday to allow the pilot of an American Airlines plane that hijackers crashed into the Pentagon on September 11 to be buried in his own plot at Arlington National Cemetery.
Under pressure from politicians and the public, Army Secretary Thomas White said he would grant a waiver allowing Captain Charles Burlingame III to be buried in his own plot at Arlington, sacred ground for American heroes.
Under Arlington regulations, retired reservists must turn 60 before they can be buried at Arlington National Cemetery, and Burlingame was only 52." -Arlington Cemetery (12/07/01)

Let's take a second to think about the above statement. How fucking American is that shit? It was his own plot so why would anyone have to wait and be a certain age to be burried there. FUCK. He did 25 years in the Navy for Gods sake, give him a damn funeral plot already, who cares.

I'm going to list some of the passengers as there are too many to go into detail here.

2. David Charlebois, 39, of Washington, D.C., was the First Officer of Flight 77.

David Charlebois, the co-pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon, was openly Gay, the Washington Blade reported. Charlebois was a member of the National Gay Pilots Association. Charlebois is survived by Tom Hay, his partner of almost 13 years.

. Mary Jane (MJ) Booth, 64, of Falls Church, Va., secretary for American Airline's general manager at Dulles Intl. Airport..

An American Airlines employee for 45 years, she worked for more than 30 years as secretary to American's general manager at Dulles.

10. Bernard Brown Jr., 11, of Washington, D.C., student at Leckie Elementary School in Washington.

He was embarking on an educational trip to the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary near Santa Barbara, California, as part of a program funded by the National Geographic Society.

His father, Bernard Sr., is a Navy chief petty officer who's works at the Pentagon and who's office is in the wing where the crash happened. Bernard took a rare day off to play golf on 9/11. Had he not — he would have been in his office at the Pentagon when the plane slammed in at 9:43.

Is it just the strangest of strange coincidences that Bernard Jr.'s dad gave a lecture to him about death and dying the morning of his plane trip, took a "rare day off" that day from his office at the Pentagon, and that his son's hijacked flight "crashed" in the very spot that his office was in?

WHAT THE HELL ..........

His father, a Navy chief petty officer, says he sat his son down on the morning of Sept. 11, and had a serious talk with him about dangers he might encounter on the trip.
"To be honest — totally honest — we talked about death," he says. "And I just told him, ‘Don’t be afraid.’ Just because the events that they were going to do were pretty dangerous. Just listen to what the people tell you, and the instructions, you’ll be all right. You’ll be fine. He said ‘Daddy, I’m scared,’ and I said, ‘hey, don’t be scared, don’t be afraid to die. Because we all are going to die someday.’"
Bernard’s mom Sinata Brown went to work. Her husband Bernard took a rare day off to play golf. Had he not — he would have been in his office at the Pentagon when the plane slammed in at 9:43.
Sanita wasn’t really worried about her son either. After all, his flight had taken off an hour and a half earlier.
Tragically, his own son’s memorial is not the only one Bernard Brown expects to attend.
That’s because Flight 77 — the flight carrying Bernard Brown’s son — actually crashed into the wing of the Pentagon where he works. Few of his colleagues survived.
"One of my best friends, a guy who worked for me, a girl who was a training officer," says Bernard. "Everybody on that, you know, people that worked in my area, everybody, all the Navy personnel probably except for two or three I knew on that list. So, out of 30 something, how many that were in there, I knew every last one of them." - MSN (09/25/01)

12. William E. Caswell, 54, Silver Spring, MD, physicist, was a senior scientist for the U.S. Navy, retired Army.

A third-generation physicist whose work at the Navy was so classified that his family knew very little about what he did each day.
They don't even know exactly why he was headed to Los Angeles on the doomed American Airlines Flight 77.
"It was a trip he often took," his mother, Jean Caswell, said Friday. "We never knew what he was doing there because he couldn't say. You just learn not to ask questions."

In 1983, Bill's career took an abrupt turn when he moved to the Naval Surface Weapons Center in Silver Spring, Maryland, to work on applying artificial intelligence and nonlinear dynamics to signal processing problems. In 1985, he was invited by the navy to work as a civilian scientist on a major classified defense technology project.

After being drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War, he resumed his studies at Princeton University, where he received a Ph.D. in physics in 1975, specializing in elementary particle theory.

17. Eddie Dillard, 54, of Alexandria, VA, a retired Marketing Manager with Philip-Morris.

18. Charles Droz III, 52, of Springfield, VA, vice president of software development for EM Solutions Inc. and retired Lieutenant Commander, Navy.

29. Bryan Jack, 48, of Alexandria, VA, was a senior executive at the Defense Department.

39. Barbara Olson, 45, Great Falls, VA, an author, legal analyst and former federal prosecutor and congressional lawyer, a conservative commentator who often appeared on CNN, and was married to U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson.

Ted Olson received two calls on this office telephone from his wife as her hijacked airplane headed toward the Pentagon. Theodore B. Olson, 42nd Solicitor General (not on plane). (Click photo for bio.)

He successfully represented George W. Bush at the Supreme Court last December, stopping the Florida recounts and guaranteeing Bush the White House.

He has said that officials have the right to lie to American citizens, telling the US Supreme Court that misleading statements are sometimes needed to protect foreign policy interests.

If Ted Olson, the US Solicitor General and husband of Barbara Olson, admits that the US Government gives out false information to American citizens, how can we be sure that the US Government is not giving out any false information relating to the Pentagon crash, or that Mr. Olson is lying about receiving those alleged two collect phone calls from his wife aboard Flight 77?

If Barbara Olson called from her cellphone, why did Ted Olson say she called collect?

How come Barbara Olson and Renee May were the only two of the 59 non-hijacker passengers on board Flight 77--including many with military experience--that supposedly made phone calls from the plane even after the alleged hijackers reportedly ordered all the passengers to call their loved ones to tell them they were all about to die especially if Barbara Olson called collect?

How was Barbara able to make two phone calls when all the phone lines in the area were jammed?

"When the crash actually occurred at 9:38 a.m., all area communications seemed simultaneously overwhelmed. Firefighters calling the ECC couldn’t get through. Relatives of Pentagon workers found cellular and land lines jammed.

Cellular telephones were virtually useless during the first few hours." -Arlington County After-Action Report
