Truth Marches On

By Glen Stanish

September 11, 2001, much like December 7, 1941, is a day that will live in infamy. The post 9-11 period is one of the saddest times in American history. It has, however, provided the American people a slow and painful awakening of sorts.
   
As an airline pilot for American Airlines, the attacks of 9-11 hit very close to home. I was in the middle of a four-day trip on a layover in downtown Fort Worth on 9-11.  Like many Americans that day, I woke up to the news of the devastating attacks. And, like most Americans, for a brief period after the attacks I was in a state of shock and awe.
   
Very shortly after the attacks we were informed by our elected leaders and the media that we had been attacked by Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida because they didn’t like our freedoms. Simple enough, but lacking a plausible political motive. For those who think a bit further than what we’re told and deeper about the causes of war - greed in a word - this explanation was hard to accept. It was as if President George W. Bush had given us a square peg, and no matter how hard we tried, we could not make it fit into the proverbial round hole. I suspect that the author of this book, Christopher Bollyn, may have experienced this same thought process.

My own personal discovery of the truth of 9-11 began with Bollyn. I had been subscribing to a newspaper, American Free Press, where he had been a regular contributing reporter. I had enjoyed reading Bollyn’s articles, appreciating his thorough research and open and honest candor. It was shortly after 9-11, when I was reading one of Bollyn’s articles about the scene of the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. He described how many eyewitnesses, including the mayor of Shanksville, reported never seeing any wreckage of a Boeing 757, saying things like there was no smoke or fire, no pieces of airframe, things along these lines. Other reports that quoted the coroner on the scene said there were no bodies or body parts. While reading these reports, I could not reconcile them with the usual scenes of airline accidents. 

As an airline pilot, we have been required for several years by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to complete, during our initial and annual training, a course called Crew Resource Management (C.R.M.). This is the study of airline accidents and incidents and what we as flight crew members could have done differently to have prevented a particular accident. This study of airline accidents typically involves reviewing cockpit and air traffic control recordings, flight data recordings, and the well recorded and documented scenes of the accidents. So I have studied many airline accidents over the course of my career.

It was difficult for me to accept the reports from Shanksville about the lack of any wreckage of Flight 93 because after an airline accident, large pieces of the aircraft are normally found.  There are the remains of the virtually indestructible engine cores, landing gear, and tail sections, to name just a few of the larger parts that would be found in the debris field. Other wreckage that one would normally expect to find from a well constructed Boeing 757 airframe would be several of the plug type entry and service doors, cargo doors, over wing exits, sections of fuselage and passenger seats, hydraulic tanks and pumps, and flight controls such as spoiler panels, flaps, slats, rudders, and elevators. Wreckage from inside the cabin that would have survived would include the emergency exit slides, the emergency inflatable rafts, life preserver jackets, and other emergency equipment, galley carts, lavatories, coffee pots, ovens, in-flight magazines, and catalogues. Luggage, freight, and mail would also be recovered from the immediate vicinity. These are the things eyewitnesses and first responders normally observe after a Boeing 757 collides with terrain.  Temporary morgues are usually set up in nearby facilities where recovered bodies and body parts are taken and identified for the families of the deceased.
   
Therefore, soon after reading his article, and experiencing the difficulty of reconciling these reports with my experience and background, I contacted Bollyn and thus began my personal friendship with the author. Bollyn has continued to report breakthrough material and information about the inadequacies and the erroneous and deceptive nature of the official 9-11 reports. He has bravely pressed forward with determination, working with scientists and physics professors and other qualified professionals to show that the three World Trade Center buildings that collapsed on 9-11 were brought down by explosives in controlled demolitions. He has enlightened many to the intrigues of “false flag” operations used as pretexts for war by powerful, corrupt, and covetous politicians and bloodthirsty heads of state.

This he has done in the face of heavy resistance by those who would attempt to keep the American people in the dark, namely the mainstream press and other special interest groups. But like a small candle in a large dark room, the light shines through.
   
The 9-11 truth movement, as it is known, owes much to the work of Bollyn. Since his first writings about the subject, virtually thousands of scientists, professors, architects, engineers, pilots, politicians, firefighters, religious leaders, lawyers, and others with expertise and qualifications have organized to have their voices heard and refute the official explanation of the attacks of 9-11.  These are our attempts to petition the government for a redress of grievances, as it were. Yet some still ask, why would the U.S. government either attack its own people or cover up for those who attacked us on 9-11?
   
And this is where some of Bollyn’s most important work leads. To answer difficult questions like these, observers of history and geopolitics should consider the policies that have shifted, been postponed, cancelled, changed course, or otherwise bent as a result of the attacks of 9-11. And as most observers will attest, there was and still is an ongoing and unresolved major political issue in the Middle East, one whose developments have been very much affected by 9-11 and one that apparently has our own U.S. political house divided, or at least unable to clearly define and implement its policies concerning this issue. And this unresolved political issue is the establishment of an independent and democratic Palestinian state, to co-exist with Israel with peace and justice for all.
   
So what is our national policy concerning the establishment of an independent and democratic Palestinian state?  Is it fluid, undefined, and changing course over time with other changes in the political landscape?  Or, is it solid, stable, and complete, just waiting for the ideal time to be implemented?  Or, perhaps, like other major international political issues (Iran Contra comes to mind) -- is there more than one policy?  Is there one policy presented to the public, which never seems to progress towards completion, and another, planned behind closed doors, that develops in opposition to and in defiance of the stated public policy?

As former President Jimmy Carter wrote in his book Palestine Peace Not Apartheid:

The unwavering official policy of the United States since Israel became a state has been that its borders, unless modified through negotiations, must coincide with the armistice lines prevailing from 1949 until 1967…

The unanimously adopted UN Resolution 242 specifies the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from occupied territories... these include the Golan Heights, Gaza, the Sinai, and the West Bank, including Jerusalem…

U.S. policy was that Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza were ‘illegal and obstacles to peace’… also, as a member of the International Quartet that includes Russia, the United Nations, and the European Union, America supports the Roadmap for Peace which espouses exactly the same requirements…and whose ultimate aim is the creation of a democratic and independent Palestinian state.

To highlight U.S. and international efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East, a brief historical review is in order. 

•    The Camp David Accords led directly to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty.

•    The Madrid Conference was hosted by the government of Spain and co-sponsored by the USA and the USSR. It convened on October 30, 1991, and lasted for three days. It was an early attempt by the international community to start a peace process through negotiations involving Israel and the Palestinians as well as Arab countries including Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.

•    The Oslo Accords, agreed in Norway on August 20, 1993, and signed at a public ceremony in Washington D.C. on September 13, 1993, was a milestone in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  This was the first direct, face-to-face agreement between Israel and political representatives of the Palestinians. It was intended to be a framework for the future relations between Israel and the Palestinians, when all outstanding final status issues between the two sides would be addressed and resolved in one agreement. Permanent issues such as Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements, borders, and security were deliberately left to be decided at a later stage.

•    The Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, also known as Oslo 2, was signed by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on September 28, 1995. It became the basis and the reference point for subsequent negotiations and agreements such as the Hebron Protocol of 1997 and the Wye River Memorandum of 1998, and it is a basis for the latter Road Map for Peace which calls for the creation of a democratic independent Palestinian state, part of the two-state solution for Middle East peace.

•    The Wye River Memorandum, signed on October 23, 1998, was an agreement negotiated between Israel and the Palestinian Authority to implement the earlier Interim Agreement of September 1995.

•    The Sharm El Sheikh Memorandum on Implementation Timeline of Outstanding Commitments of Agreements Signed and the Resumption of Permanent Status Negotiations was signed on September 4, 1999, by Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak and PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat. Its purpose was to implement the Interim Agreement (Oslo II) and to implement all other agreements between the PLO and Israel since 1993. The two sides agreed to resume the Permanent Status negotiations to achieve the goal of reaching a Permanent Status Agreement. They reaffirmed that the negotiations on the Permanent Status will lead to the implementation of Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. They agreed to make a determined effort to conclude a Framework Agreement and setting a timetable to achieve these goals. A timetable for final status talks to deal with Jerusalem, borders, refugees, and settlements, and a framework agreement on permanent status (FAPS) were to be achieved by February 2000 with a permanent agreement signed by September 2000.

•    The Middle East Peace Summit at Camp David of July 2000 took place between U.S. President Bill Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasir Arafat. It was an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to negotiate a “final status settlement” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

•    The Taba Summit were talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, held during January 21-27, 2001, at Taba in the Sinai Peninsula. They were talks aimed at reaching the “final status” negotiations to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and came closer to reaching a final settlement than any previous or subsequent peace talks. The talks were discontinued due to upcoming Israeli elections.

As can be seen by the record, U.S. and international efforts to reach a comprehensive settlement for peace in the Middle East and the establishment of an independent and democratic Palestinian state were proceeding nicely until early 2001. One might consider that we, as a global community, were in the end game, late in the fourth quarter or in the bottom of the ninth inning, to use sports analogies – but perhaps ‘sudden death’ would be more apt.
   
To have come this far and not taken the ball into the end zone, to have failed to cross the finish line when we were so close, indicates that there must be a very determined and powerful force preventing it.  There must be an opposing power, a well organized political entity whose objective is to prevent any final settlement of the crucial issues in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.  This antagonistic element is opposed to any agreement that would allow the establishment of an independent and democratic Palestinian state.

In February 2001, Ariel Sharon was elected prime minister of Israel, and according to former President Jimmy Carter, Sharon was committed to the rejection of the Oslo peace agreement.

Historically speaking, Ariel Sharon, like many other Israeli politicians, made statements and policies that indicated his intention to kill the peace process.  In 1977, Menachem Begin assembled a coalition that accepted his premise that the land in Gaza and the West Bank belonged rightfully to the State of Israel and should not be exchanged in a peace agreement with the Arabs. In the early 1980s, during the presidency of Ronald Reagan, Israel announced the annexation of the Golan Heights (taken from Syria) and increased their efforts to build Israeli settlements throughout the West Bank and Gaza.  As a matter of fact, since 1980, with the Likud Party in control of the government, the confiscation of Arab land has accelerated greatly with the building of illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank being one of the government’s top priorities.

Ariel Sharon stated that the East Bank of the Jordan is “ours but not in our hands, just as East Jerusalem had been until the Six-Day War.” During the Clinton years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Likud hawk, promised never to exchange land for peace.  Then Foreign Minister Ariel Sharon declared the Oslo Agreement to be “national suicide” saying, “Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements because everything we take now will stay ours.”

In Jewish History, Jewish Religion, author Israel Shahak, an Israeli Jew critical of Israeli policies, explained the reasons behind the actions of his country’s government. Shahak wrote:

The main danger which Israel, as a ‘Jewish state’ poses to its own people, to other Jews, and to its neighbors is its ideologically motivated pursuit of territorial expansion and the inevitable series of wars resulting from this aim… In 1956, I eagerly swallowed all of Prime Minister Ben Gurion’s political and military reasons for Israel initiating the Suez War, until he pronounced in the Knesset on the third day of that war, that the real reason for it is ‘the restoration of the Kingdom of David and Solomon’ to its Biblical [Old Testament] borders…The Biblical borders of the land of Israel, “which rabbinical authorities interpret as ideally belonging to the Jewish state” include the following areas: in the south, all of Sinai and a part of northern Egypt up to the environs of Cairo; in the east, all of Jordon and a large chunk of Saudi Arabia, all of Kuwait and a part of Iraq south of the Euphrates; in the north, all of Lebanon and all of Syria together with a huge part of Turkey (up to Lake Van); and in the west, Cyprus… In May of 1993, Ariel Sharon formally proposed in the Likud Convention that Israel should adopt the ‘Biblical borders’ concept as its official policy.

Well, it sounds as if we may have identified the opponent to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.  As we can see, up until shortly before September 2001, U.S. and international efforts to achieve a final agreement and resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were very close to their goal. Shortly before September 11, 2001, an Israeli government was elected whose stated objectives were in sharp opposition to the aims of the peace efforts of the United States and the international community.

Immediately after the 9-11 attacks, Israeli spokesman Benjamin Netanyahu stated publicly, “It is a very good thing,” because it would strengthen American support for Israel. And as if to confirm Netanyahu’s sentiments, using 9-11 as justification, Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel Sharon escalated the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, pummeling Palestinian civilian infrastructure, homes and businesses in the West Bank and Gaza on the pretext of fighting terrorism.

Shortly thereafter, Sharon’s Chief of Staff Dov Weisglass admitted that the purpose of his government's policy to expand settlements in the West Bank was to undermine peace plans, stymie the creation of a Palestinian state, and halt talks about the right of return for Palestinian refugees:

The significance of our disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process. It supplies the formaldehyde necessary so there is no political process with the Palestinians. When you freeze the process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state… Effectively, this whole package called a Palestinian state has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. All of this was done with the United States' blessing.

What? Wait a minute! This was done with the blessing of the government of the United States? What about our “unwavering official policies”? What about Israeli settlements in the West Bank being “illegal and obstacles to peace”? What about our official support of the creation of an independent and democratic Palestinian State as an integral part of a just and final resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the peace process? Do we have more than one policy here?
   
On March 28, 2001, at the Arab League meeting in Beirut, twenty-two nations ended a long debate by endorsing a resolution introduced by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. It offered Israel normal relations with all Arab states if Israel complied with UN Resolutions 194 and 242. The next day, a massive Israeli military force surrounded and destroyed Yasir Arafat’s office compound in Ramallah. Later, the United States voted for a UN Security Council resolution demanding Israeli withdrawal from Ramallah, which Israel ignored.
   
Arab diplomats accused Ariel Sharon of deliberately sabotaging the peace overture and Crown Prince Abdullah called the prime minister’s assault on Arafat “a brutal, despicable, savage, inhumane, and cruel action.”
   
In April 2003, a “Roadmap” for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was announced by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on behalf of the U.S., the UN, the European Union, and Russia (i.e. the Quartet).  Kofi Annan stated:

Such a settlement, negotiated between the parties, will result in the emergence of an independent, democratic Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with Israel and its neighbors. The settlement will end the occupation that began in 1967, based on the Madrid Conference terms of reference and the principle of land for peace, UN Security Council Resolutions 242, 338, and 1397, agreements previously reached by the parties, and the Arab initiative proposed by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah and endorsed by the Arab Summit in Beirut.

The Palestinians accepted the Roadmap in its entirety. The Israeli government announced several caveats and prerequisites, some of which would preclude any final peace talks. Some of the Israeli provisos were: Israeli control over Palestine, including the entry and exit of all persons and cargo, plus its airspace and electromagnetic spectrum (radio, television, etc.). No discussion of Israeli settlements in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza or the status of the Palestinian Authority and its institutions in Jerusalem. No reference to the key provisions of UN Resolution 242, and the waiver of any right of return of refugees, among others.
   
The practical result of all this, according to former President Jimmy Carter, is the Roadmap for Peace has become moot, with only two results: Israel has been able to use it as a delaying tactic with an endless series of preconditions that can never be met, while proceeding with plans to implement its unilateral goals; and the U.S. has been able to give the impression of positive engagement in a “peace process.”

With Ariel Sharon and George W. Bush in office, the so-called "peace process" went nowhere.
   
In early 2005, Jimmy Carter again arrived in Israel. In Palestine Peace Not Apartheid, he describes the “most disturbing intrusions of the great dividing wall being built by the Israelis.”

The Israeli separation wall divides the Holy Land.

Described as a ‘security fence’, Carter wrote about the Israeli wall of separation:

"…its other purpose became clear as we observed its construction and examined maps of the barrier’s ultimate path through Palestine. Including the Israeli-occupied Jordan River Valley, the wall would take in large areas of land for Israel and encircle the Palestinians who remained in their remnant of the West Bank. This would severely restrict Palestinian access to the outside world. ‘Imprisonment Wall’ is more descriptive than ‘security fence.’

Sharon’s purpose was to implement the unilateral disengagement policy and to complete building a wall to separate Palestinians from territory to be claimed by Israel, according to President Carter.
   
In Carter’s book, he further describes the conditions and developments that have occurred in the Middle East and that have been allowed to occur in the wake of 9-11 have taken us further from a final resolution and the creation of an independent and democratic Palestinian state as part of the two-state solution.  Carter wrote:

With increasing control of East Jerusalem, with relative security from the wall surrounding what is left of the West Bank, and with thousands of remaining settlers east of the wall protected by a strong occupying force, there is a temptation for some Israelis simply to avoid any further efforts to seek a peace agreement based on the Quartet’s Roadmap or good-faith negotiations on any other basis…

In this diplomatic vacuum, Israeli leaders have embarked on a series of unilateral decisions, bypassing both Washington and the Palestinians…Utilizing their political and military dominance, they are imposing a system of partial withdrawal, encapsulation, and apartheid on the Muslim and Christian citizens of the occupied territories. The driving purpose for the forced separation of the two peoples is…the acquisition of land…

The future prospects for the West Bank are…dismal. Especially troublesome is the huge dividing wall in populated areas and an impassable fence in rural areas. The governments of Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert have built the fence and wall mainly within Palestinian territory, intruding deeply into the West Bank to encompass Israeli settlement blocs and large areas of other Palestinian land. It is projected to be at least three and a half times as long as Israel’s internationally recognized border and already cuts directly through Palestinian villages, divides families from their gardens and farmland…

One example is that the wandering wall almost completely surrounds the Palestinian city of Qalqiliya with its 45,000 inhabitants, with most of the citizens’ land and about one-third of their water supply confiscated by the Israelis. Almost the same encirclement has occurred around 170,000 citizens of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus.

First, a wide swath must be bulldozed through communities before the wall can be built. In addition to the concrete and electrified fencing materials used in the construction, the barrier includes two meter deep trenches, roads for patrol vehicles, electronic ground and fence sensors, thermal imaging and video cameras, sniper towers, and razor wire – almost entirely on Palestinian land. The area between the closed segregation barrier and the Israeli border has been designated a closed military region for an indefinite period of time. Israeli directives state that every Palestinian over the age of twelve living in the closed area has to obtain a ‘permanent resident permit’ from the civil administration to enable them to live in their own homes…

To summarize, whatever territory Israel decides to confiscate will be on its side of the wall, but Israelis will still control the Palestinians who will be on the other side of the barrier…

Since 1945, the International Court of Justice has functioned essentially as the judicial arm of the United Nations system, and in July 2004 the court determined that the Israeli government’s construction of the segregation wall in the occupied West Bank was illegal…The court called on Israel to cease construction of the wall, to dismantle what has already been built in areas within the occupied Palestinian territory, and to compensate Palestinians who suffered losses as a result of the wall’s construction. The Israeli Supreme Court has chosen not to accept the International Court’s decision…

The wall ravages many places along its devious route that are important to Christians. In addition to enclosing Bethlehem in one of its most notable intrusions, an especially heartbreaking division is on the southern slope of the Mount of Olives, a favorite place for Jesus and his disciples, and very near Bethany, where they often visited Mary, Martha, and their brother, Lazarus. There is a church named for one of the sisters, Santa Marta Monastery, where Israel’s thirty-foot concrete wall cuts through the property. The house of worship is now on the Jerusalem side, and its parishioners are separated from it because they cannot get permits to enter Jerusalem. Its priest, Father Claudio Ghilardi, says, ‘For nine hundred years we have lived here under Turkish, British, Jordanian, and Israeli governments, and no one has ever stopped people coming to pray. It is scandalous. This is not a barrier. It is a border. Why don’t they speak the truth?’

Father Claudio adds a comment that describes the path of the entire barrier:  ‘The wall is not separating Palestinians from Jews; rather, Palestinians from Palestinians.’ Nearby are three convents that will also be cut off from people they serve. These 2,000 Palestinian Christians have lost their place of worship and their spiritual center.

In addition to cutting off about 200,000 Palestinians in Jerusalem from their relatives, property, schools, and businesses, the wall is designed to complete the enclosure of a severely truncated Palestine, a small portion of its original size, compartmentalized, divided into cantons, occupied by Israeli security forces, and isolated from the outside world. In addition, a network of exclusive highways is being built across even these fragments of the West Bank to connect the new Greater Israel in the west with the occupied Jordan River valley in the east, where 7,000 Jews are living in twenty-one heavily protected settlements among about 50,000 Palestinians who are still permitted to stay there. The area along the Jordan River, which is now planned as the eastern leg of the encirclement of the Palestinians, is one of Palestine’s most lucrative and productive agricultural regions. Most of its inhabitants were forcibly evicted in 1967, and the Israelis have not allowed these original families to return. Israeli customs officers keep lists of their names and are careful to prohibit their crossing any international checkpoint into occupied territory, where they might lay claim to their homes and farmland. 

President Carter continues to describe the rather hopeless prospects for the Palestinians, the result of developments that were allowed to occur in the Middle East political arena since the attacks of 9-11:  "It is obvious that the Palestinians will be left with no territory in which to establish a viable state… The Palestinians will have a future impossible for them or any portion of the international community to accept."
   
So it sounds as if a two-state solution to the peace process has become null and void. Was this the real reason for 9-11?  Was it carried out to create a condition of war, based on lies, deception, and fraud, that would distract and obfuscate attempts to reach a two-state settlement, which seemed within reach just before September 2001?  Was it designed to allow Israel to continue its unilateral goals of further expansion, to create a Greater Israel that reaches from the Euphrates to the Nile, ethnically cleansing the land of its original inhabitants? Have we established in the Green Zone in Baghdad a base to conduct future operations to assist our Zionist ally with her future expansionist conquests? Do we have more than one policy here?  As observers of history and geopolitics, it certainly makes more sense now than the ridiculous, “They attacked us because they hate our freedoms” rubbish.

Recently, on April 25, 2009, the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reported:

New foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Wednesday that Israel was changing its policies on the peace process and was not bound by commitments it made at a U.S. sponsored conference to pursue creation of a Palestinian state…

A source in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s party confirmed Wednesday that his new government intended to distance itself from U.S. sponsored understandings on working towards a Palestinian state.

“Israel’s government said Sunday that it would not halt construction of a planned housing project in east Jerusalem," USA TODAY reported on July 20, 2009.  "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet there would be no limits on Jewish construction anywhere in ‘unified Jerusalem’" and "declared Israeli sovereignty over the entire city ‘indisputable.’”

In September 2009, “Israel approved on Monday the building of 455 settler homes in the occupied West Bank," as reported by Reuters on September 7, 2009.  "A Defense Ministry list of the first such building permits since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office in March showed the homes would be erected in areas Israel intends to keep.”
   
As President Jimmy Carter wrote in Palestine Peace Not Apartheid:

The overriding problem is that, for more than a quarter century, the actions of some Israeli leaders have been in direct conflict with the official policies of the United States, the international community, and their own negotiated agreements… Israel’s continued control and colonization of Palestinian land have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Holy Land. In order to perpetuate the occupation, Israeli forces have deprived their unwilling subjects of basic human rights. No objective person could personally observe existing conditions in the West Bank and dispute these statements.
   
Two other interrelated factors have contributed to the perpetuation of violence and regional upheaval: the condoning of illegal Israeli actions from a submissive White House and U.S. Congress during recent years, and the deference with which other international leaders permit this unofficial U. S. policy in the Middle East (emphasis added) to prevail.

In order to achieve its goals, Israel has decided to avoid any peace negotiations and to escape even the mild restraints of the United States by taking unilateral action, called ‘convergence’ or ‘realignment,’ to carve out for itself the choice portions of the West Bank, leaving Palestinians destitute within a small and fragmented remnant of their own land.

The only rational response to this continuing tragedy is to revitalize the peace process through negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, but the United States has, in effect, abandoned this effort.

In 1796, George Washington gave his Farewell Address which contained many important parting words of advice for future generations of politicians and citizens alike, the disregard for which has helped bring us to this sad post 9-11 political world we find ourselves in.  President Washington said:

Hence, likewise, they will avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty…

Nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachment for others should be excluded; and in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest…
   
So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It also leads to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to be retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens, (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearance of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliance of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.
   
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.
   
Excessive partiality for one nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real Patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interest.
   
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible…
   
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world…
   
Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest.

As you read Christopher Bollyn’s Solving 9-11: The Deception that Changed the World, you will understand just exactly who and what foreign political interest actually attacked us on September 11, 2001. These foreign political interests with their traitors (George Washington referred to these types as tools and dupes) inside our U.S. political establishment attempted to deceive us in order to pursue their foreign-sponsored political will and expansionist policies in the Middle East.

As you read, the real perpetrators of the 9-11 attacks will become apparent, and they will be identified. The motive will become clear, and you will see this peg as a natural fit. You will understand that our country is filled with “ambitious, corrupted, and deluded citizens (in positions of political power, office holders, judges, the press, etc.) who devote themselves to the foreign nation, and have sacrificed the interests of their own country, with popularity, gilding, with the appearance of a virtuous sense of obligation.  You may even find yourself supporting a new investigation into the attacks of 9-11.

So what else should one do when he or she finds that their government has attempted to deceive them, in order to pursue unofficial policies through the arts of lies, fraud, deception, and cover up. For Christopher Bollyn and like minded believers, the Scriptures are clear. “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11, NKJV)

Preface

"We Are Not Afraid"

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
- President John F. Kennedy, February 26, 1962

Eight years have passed since the terror atrocities of September 11, 2001, heinous false-flag terror crimes which took the lives of thousands of innocent people and led to drastic changes in the United States and around the world.  Although the terror attacks have yet to be properly investigated and prosecuted by the federal government, we now have scientific evidence that proves that the official explanation is nothing but a pack of lies, a massive deception foisted on the public by corrupt government officials and the controlled media.  Most significantly, this deception was promoted by officials and media owners who knew it to be false.  The U.S. Department of Justice, for example, oversaw the destruction of many tons of structural steel - crucial evidence from the crime scenes.

On one hand, the government and media have intentionally pushed a fabrication that a band of Islamic terrorists hijacked airplanes and flew them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, causing the complete destruction and pulverization of two 110-story towers and a 47-story building in lower Manhattan.  Using this deception, the federal government and its agents have created a police state in the United States and forced Americans and other Western nations to participate in an utterly fraudulent "War on Terror," waging illegal wars of aggression and occupation in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.  Untold thousands have died in these illegal wars of aggression.

On the other hand, we have scientific evidence that the Twin Towers were blown up with an advanced form of super-thermite, chips of which were found in five different samples of the dust from the demolished towers by Dr. Steven E. Jones of Brigham Young University.  This crucial discovery, published as a peer-reviewed paper in March 2009 with other scientists, completely disproves the official version that the Twin Towers fell as a result of fires caused by the plane crashes.  This discovery also explains the explosive destruction and pulverization of the immense steel-frame and concrete buildings.  As Professor Jones says, "The data doesn't lie."

Rather than addressing the evidence that the World Trade Center was demolished with explosives, however, the new administration of President Barack Obama continues to use the 9-11 deception to increase the war effort in Afghanistan, occupying a nation that had nothing to do with the terror attacks in the United States.  Neither Osama Bin Laden nor the Taliban had anything to do with the demolition of the World Trade Center, which the evidence proves was carried out using an advanced form of Thermite created using nano-technology.  Nor did the airplane crashes themselves cause the towers to collapse.  The plane crashes were merely part of the deception, meant to provide a plausible explanation for the pre-planned explosive demolitions that followed.

This is why 2009 is such a crucial year for 9-11 truth.  A modern republic like the United States cannot continue for very long as a free nation with a government and media that lie to the people about the murder of thousands of its citizens and illegal wars supposedly waged on their behalf.  This is clearly a state in the process of a revolutionary change.  The American people will not tolerate a police state using such outrageous lies to rob them of their money and freedom.

"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts," President John F. Kennedy said in 1962.  "For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." So, who is really afraid of unpleasant facts and the truth of 9-11?  It is not the people, but the culprits of the terror atrocity and the subsequent cover-up who fear the truth.

My work provides some of the unpleasant but essential facts about 9-11.  It represents eight years of work and is dedicated to the truth and the people who died on that day.  It is unacceptable that their deaths, and the suffering of their families, have been exploited to deceive the world and wage illegal wars.

I - 9/11 Through the Eyes of an American Skeptic

Chapter I

9-11 Through the Eyes of an American Skeptic

As a journalist with an independent weekly newspaper based in Washington, D.C., I became caught up in the events of 9-11 from the minute it happened and was able to write freely about the terror attacks that were exploited to start the pre-planned War on Terror. 

From my position as a skeptic of the unproven official version, I have examined the facts and evidence since the day it happened and have concluded that the U.S. government and controlled media have engaged in a conspiracy to deceive the world about what really happened on that terrible day. 

The Dream 

The early morning hours of September 11, 2001 found me with my family driving through New York City en route to Washington, D.C. after a weekend trip to Stowe, Vermont.  We had visited the Trapp family lodge and gotten a late start from Stowe on Monday afternoon.  By the time we reached New York City, our two small children were fast asleep in the back seat of our rented Buick. 

Because the hotels were all full or outrageously expensive, I was left with no choice but to continue driving down the highway when I should have been sleeping.  To keep me awake as I drove through New York City, my wife Helje told me about a vivid dream she had had a week earlier, the night before we had left our home near Chicago. 

I had heard parts of Helje's strange dream when she had first told it to our children in the backseat of the car as we set out across Indiana for Washington, D.C.  Now, to help keep me awake on the busy highways of New York City, she told me her dream from the week before. 

In the dream we were driving toward a city with a skyline of densely packed skyscrapers when a large airplane flew right at our car and dove into the road about 50 meters in front of us.  She turned and saw the plane emerge from the ground behind us and another plane coming at us from another angle.  This was a strange dream in which she felt that our family had been under attack. 

Helje's dream turned out to be an eerie and uncanny premonition of what was to happen in the skies of New York City less than eight hours later. 

It was about 3 a.m. on September 11 when we finally found an affordable hotel room just inside the state of Maryland on Interstate 95.  The kids woke up and jumped on the beds and then we all fell asleep about a half-hour later. 

I woke up about 8:30 a.m. and went down to the lobby for a cup of coffee.  The television was on in the breakfast area reporting that a plane had struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan.  I grabbed some pastries and coffee and hurried back to the room and turned the television to the news channel. 

The children and I went to get more donuts and coffee and were on our way back to the room when the second plane hit the South Tower.  Helje had seen it happen live on television.  We were shocked by the events and realized that America was under attack.  I immediately called my office in Washington, D.C. and told my boss that kamikaze airplanes had hit the World Trade Center.  He thought I was joking.  I said I wouldn't joke about such a thing and told him to turn on the radio.  I called the office again after the Pentagon was hit and said we would not be coming to Washington but were heading home to Chicago.  Having no idea what would happen next, I thought it would be best to take the country roads and stay away from big cities.           

We drove through rural Lancaster County past Amish farmers harvesting a very tall corn crop.  I stopped and walked into the fields to ask some of the German-speaking farmers if they knew what had happened in New York City.  They said they had not heard anything about it and carried on working with their horse-drawn harvester. 

Our route from Pennsylvania to Chicago took us near the site in Shanksville where Flight 93 supposedly crashed, but I had no desire to go to the scene of the disaster.  We stopped for lunch in a small town.  The diner was full of people but nobody was talking.  The people sat quietly, as if mesmerized, listening to the news on the radio.           

Indications of Israeli Involvement 

We listened to the radio as we drove across Pennsylvania.  It was a beautiful sunny day with a bright blue sky.  About noon I heard a news report that five "Middle Eastern" men had been seen in New Jersey videotaping and celebrating the destruction of the World Trade Center. 

"They're probably Israelis," I told Helje.  For millions of Americans who automatically associate "Middle Eastern" with Arab, this news report planted the idea in their minds that Arabs from the Middle East were behind the terror attacks on New York and Washington. 

This line of thinking quickly became the media's only acceptable version of events and although it has still not been proven, it has become the official version of 9-11. 

The first indication that the attack on the World Trade Center was an elaborate "false flag" operation came with the arrest of the five men on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. These men, described as "Middle Eastern" in the first media reports, were later identified as Israelis.  A false flag operation is a crime which is designed and carried out so that another party or nation is blamed.

That the five jubilant Middle Eastern men, who had photographed themselves smiling and celebrating with the burning World Trade Center in the background, were indeed Israelis (namely Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Oded Ellner, Omer Marmari, and Yaron Schmuel) and that two of them were known to U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies as agents of Israeli intelligence, was ignored by the mass media. 

The men had been observed taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background.  Sivan Kurzberg told the police that the men had been driving in their van in the immediate vicinity of the towers that morning.  He was photographed flicking a lighter with the burning towers behind him. 

A woman who had observed the jubilant Israelis said she was struck by the expressions on the men's faces. "They were like happy, you know," she said.  "They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange." 

When they were arrested, Sivan, the driver of the van, told the police, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem." 

The story of the five men celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers was dropped from the national news when it became known that they were not Arabs or Muslims from the Middle East, but Jews from Israel. 

The noteworthy fact that these men, who clearly had prior knowledge of the attacks, were in fact Israelis, and that they had been arrested at gunpoint with box cutter knives, multiple passports, and thousands of dollars in cash in a van that tested positive for explosives was only reported by Paolo Lima in a local New Jersey newspaper, the Bergen Record, the following day. 

This important and timely information, however, was completely ignored by the New York Times and the other national mass media outlets based across the river in New York City. 

I discussed the pertinent details with Lima by phone, and this important and suppressed story became the subject of my first article about 9-11.  I realized then, during the first week after 9-11, that the mainstream news media was ignoring and covering up important information and evidence about the terrorist attacks. 

There would be, for example, no reporting in the mainstream media of Israeli involvement or prior knowledge of the attacks.  And this was just the beginning of the censorship the controlled media was to impose on the events of 9-11. 

The possibility that these men could be Israeli intelligence agents involved in a spectacular "false flag" terror attack was discussed in my article that went to print in the American Free Press on September 20, 2001.  It was the only newspaper in the United States where such thoughts could openly be expressed. 

Months later, Forward, a well known New York-based Jewish newspaper, confirmed that Urban Moving Systems, the Weehawken, New Jersey-based "moving" company that the men worked for, was actually an Israeli intelligence front operation and that at least two of the men, evidently the Kurzberg brothers, were known agents of Mossad, Israel's military intelligence agency. 

Dominic Suter, the Israeli "owner" of the company and a prime suspect, was somehow allowed to flee to Israel after the Federal Bureau of Investigation had initially interviewed him, but before they could interrogate him a second time.  He has not been extradited to the United States since. 

After being held for 10 weeks, the five Israelis were sent back to Israel on visa violations.  Ellner, Marmari, and Schmuel appeared on an Israeli television show, without the Kurzberg brothers, in November 2001.

The three sheepish and suspiciously guilty looking young men admitted on Israeli television that they had prior knowledge of the terror attacks that changed America – and the world. "The fact of the matter is that we come from a country that experiences terror daily," Oded Ellner (center) said.  "Our purpose was to document the event."  The obvious question, "And who gave you that task?" was not asked, at least not openly. 

One would think that such a revealing public admission by a suspect, claiming prior knowledge of the terror attack and saying that his purpose "was to document the event" would be extremely newsworthy information in the United States. 

Sadly, this was not the case.  Rather than discuss the evidence, the mainstream media has constructed and defended an unproven version of events in which the blame is assigned to nineteen Arabs with ties to Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida. 

Indications of Israeli involvement in 9-11 were conspicuous from the beginning. Benjamin Netanyahu, the former Israeli prime minister and leader of the right wing Likud Party, actually said that he viewed 9-11 as a positive development. On the day of the attacks, Netanyahu was interviewed by James Bennet of the New York Times: 

Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied, "It's very good." Then he edited himself:  "Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy." 

Benjamin Netanyahu (right) and Ehud Olmert are Israeli politicians from the extreme right-wing Likud party, which grew out of the Zionist terror organization, the Irgun.  Olmert, then mayor of Jerusalem, made a secret visit to New York City the day before the terror attacks.  Asked what the attacks meant for U.S.-Israeli relations, Netanyahu said, "It's very good."

Netanyahu predicted that the attack would "strengthen the bond between our two peoples, because we've experienced terror of so many decades, but the United States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror." 

Prior knowledge of the 9-11 attacks clearly indicates complicity in the murder of some 3,000 people. 

Journalists like me, who challenge the official version with evidence and facts are marginalized as "conspiracy nuts."  I have been portrayed as an anti-Semitic writer by the leading media networks simply because I dare to investigate the evidence of Israeli involvement in the terror attacks. 

The level of the personal attacks against me increased dramatically in August 2006, when a police assault by three unidentified heavily-armed men resulted in my right elbow being fractured and my being unjustifiably shocked with 50,000 volts from a police device known as a TASER.  This outrageous and illegal assault occurred at my home in front of my wife and eight-year-old daughter. 

I was taken to jail and subsequently charged by the police with resisting arrest and aggravated assault, both misdemeanor charges.  In the Chicago system nearly everyone in such a situation is forced to plead guilty and accept the sentence meted out by the judge.  I refused to plead guilty, however, and spent nearly one year trying to defend myself against the baseless charges and malicious prosecution.  In early June 2007, I was found guilty of both misdemeanors after a seriously flawed four-day-trial in which the police were allowed to destroy the video evidence and then lied on the stand.  My expert witness and evidence were not allowed to be presented by the Cook County judge, Hyman Riebman, a Zionist Jew.  Having seen that there was no way to obtain justice in the corrupt court system, I was compelled to leave Chicago with my family before the date of sentencing.  It would have been irresponsible for me to allow this criminal system to cause more harm to me and my family than it already had.

Odigo Warnings 

In the first days and weeks after 9-11, I paid very close attention to the large number of Israeli terror suspects arrested, which was more than two hundred by November 2001, and investigated the published reports that an Israeli instant text message service had been used to warn Israelis of the attacks in New York, hours before they occurred.  Many Israelis were evidently forewarned of the attacks through an Israeli instant messaging service called Odigo. This story, which presents the clearest evidence of Israeli prior knowledge of the attacks, was reported only very briefly in the U.S. media – and then forgotten. 

According to the published reports, Israel-based employees of Odigo reported having received warnings of an imminent attack at the World Trade Center hours before the first plane hit the north tower.  Odigo, an Israeli-owned company, had its U.S. headquarters two blocks from the World Trade Center, but the forewarned Odigo employees did not pass the terror warning on to the authorities in New York, an act that would have saved thousands of lives. 

Two weeks after 9-11, Alex Diamandis, Odigo's vice president, said, "The messages said something big was going to happen in a certain amount of time, and it did – almost to the minute."  "It was possible that the attack warning was broadcast to other Odigo members, but the company has not received reports of other recipients of the message," Diamandis said.  Four thousand Israelis were expected to have been working at the World Trade Center on 9-11, yet only one was reported to have died at the complex.  Based on the Israeli government figure that 4,000 Israelis were expected to have been at the World Trade Center at the time of the attacks, it seems evident that many Israeli Odigo users got the message of warning. 

Odigo, which offers real-time messaging, has a feature called "People Finder" which allows a user to send an instant message to a large group based on a common characteristic, such as Israeli nationality.  "People Finder" allows Odigo users to search for online "buddies," with filters like Israeli nationality, while maintaining user privacy at all times.  The message was probably sent in Hebrew.  The Internet address of the sender of the warning was allegedly given to the FBI.  Two months later it was reported that the FBI was still investigating the matter. Since then there have been no further media reports about the Odigo warning of 9/11. 

These two news stories about the fake Israeli "movers" and the Odigo messages, which clearly indicated that some Israelis had very specific prior knowledge of the attacks, were published in American and Israeli newspapers shortly after 9-11.  Had the recipients of these Odigo instant messages contacted the New York police department, thousands of lives could have been saved.  The question that has not been asked is, why didn't they? 

Cui Bono? 

There were several early indicators that Israelis were involved in 9-11 and that it was a spectacular "false flag" terror attack designed to serve as a casus belli to drag the United States into the "War on Terror."  Apart from the previously mentioned evidence of Israeli prior knowledge, there were also the amazingly insensitive comments of Netanyahu about 9-11 being "very good" in his view. 

Netanyahu, it should be noted, is the author of several books which call for the western nations to engage in a global "War on Terror."  Since 1986, Netanyahu has urged the United States and western democracies to take up arms against the enemies of Israel in the name of "fighting terrorism," which is the title of one of his books.  The "terrorists" that Netanyahu wants the West to wage war on, however, all happen to be the people and states opposed to Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian land. 

I approached the 9-11 investigation with a twenty-five year history of having lived in and followed the events of the Middle East.  After many years of traveling in Europe and the Middle East, I obtained a degree in History from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1992.  My academic emphasis was on Palestine and Israel.  After the first U.S. war against Iraq, which I was actively opposed to, I spent my final year of university training researching the Soviet occupation of the newly liberated Baltic republics and completing my courses at the University of Bergen in Norway. 

Fate brought me into the proximity of another mass disaster on the morning of September 28, 1994, when I arrived by ship in Sweden and learned that the Baltic ferry named Estonia had sunk during the night with 852 victims lost at sea.  My wife's first husband, a famous Estonian singer named Urmas Alender, was among the missing.  While it was abundantly clear that something much more explosive than a "monster wave" had sunk the ferry, the Swedish government and media pretended that natural forces had caused the catastrophe.  In the process of investigating what happened in the ferry disaster, I came to realize that a modern "democratic" state, like Sweden, could actually be complicit in the cover-up of the mass murder of hundreds of its own citizens. 

When in the year 2000, I began working as a journalist for the Washington-based Spotlight, later to become the American Free Press, I turned my attention to the mysterious 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of New York.  I attended the final sessions of the government agency (NTSB) involved in investigating the "crash" of Flight 800 and was appalled at the obvious cover-up of the facts.  I watched how three Jewish members of the board completely dominated the NTSB final sessions and how the testimonies of more than 100 eyewitnesses, who had testified to having seen a streaking object hitting the aircraft in flight, were categorically dismissed because, according to a young Jewish member of the board, based on the time of the observations, all of the witnesses must have been drunk and hallucinating.  After the two-day presentation of the NTSB findings there was no press conference or session allowing for questions from the media or public.  This was clearly another cover-up. 

I had also studied the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty and seen how the U.S. government and military had covered up the truth of the Israeli military attack on the unarmed Navy vessel off the coast of Egypt in 1967.  With this background I approached the events of 9-11.  Well aware of the history of false-flag terror, the overwhelming Zionist influence in government and media, and dishonest official investigations into recent mass disasters, I was a natural skeptic from the start. 

Evidence of Explosions Ignored 

The administration of George W. Bush rushed the nation and its allies into war in Afghanistan within one month of the 9-11 attacks using the unsolved crime as the casus belli for an overt act of aggression that had been planned long before.  The war against the government of Afghanistan, called Operation Enduring Freedom by the government and military, began on Oct. 7, 2001. 

The week before the war began I wrote an article about the immense oil and gas reserves of the Caspian Basin and the new "Great Game" to gain control of these valuable energy resources.  I also wrote several articles about the long-standing business and personal ties between George W. Bush and the Bin Laden family.  One month after 9-11, I wrote about how the mass media was ignoring the large number of eyewitness accounts describing explosions at the World Trade Center before the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building 7. 

"Despite reports from numerous eyewitnesses and experts, including news reporters on the scene, who heard or saw explosions immediately before the collapse of the World Trade Center, there has been a virtual silence in the mainstream media," I wrote in the article titled "Some Survivors Say 'Bombs Exploded Inside WTC.'" 

"After the airplanes hit the World Trade Center there were some explosive devices inside the buildings that caused the towers to collapse," Van Romero, an explosives expert and former director of the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center at New Mexico Tech, told the Albuquerque Journal minutes after the collapses.  The collapse of the structures resembled controlled implosions used to demolish old structures and was "too methodical to be a chance result of airplanes colliding with the structures," Romero said.  Coming from a man who is an expert in the effects of explosives on structures, Romero's comments carried a lot of weight in my opinion. 

"It would be difficult for something from the plane to trigger an event like that," Romero said. If explosions did cause the towers to collapse, "It could have been a relatively small amount of explosives placed in strategic points." 

"One of the things terrorist events are noted for is a diversionary attack and secondary device," he said.  Then suddenly, ten days after the attack, without any explanation, Romero did a complete about-face in his analysis of the collapse. "Certainly the fire is what caused the building to fail," he told the Albuquerque Journal on September 21. 

A friend of mine from Brooklyn told me that he had been standing among a crowd of people on Church Street, about two blocks from the South Tower (WTC 2), when he saw "a number of brief light sources being emitted from inside the building between floors 10 and 15." He saw about six of these brief flashes, accompanied by "a crackling sound" immediately before the tower collapsed. 

Even a veteran 51-year-old fire fighter, Louie Cacchioli, told People magazine that he had witnessed explosions in the South Tower: "I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in the building." 

What is most peculiar about the eyewitness reports of explosions was that they were completely ignored by the mainstream news media, even when the reports came from their own reporters on the scene.  Stephen Evans of the BBC, for example, was in the South Tower where he witnessed "a series of explosions" and felt a "big explosion, from much, much lower."  Yet the BBC, like the rest of the mainstream media failed to investigate or even discuss the evidence of explosions in the towers.

How did the editors of the mass media networks in the United States and Britain make the decision not to discuss the evidence of explosions even when the information came from their own reporters on the scene?  Eyewitness reports and images of explosions were broadcast only once and then swept under the carpet.  It soon became quite clear that the mass media was censoring any discussion of the evidence of explosions in the World Trade Center. 

Within a few weeks I realized that the media and government were working together to deceive the public about what really had happened on 9-11 and that there was a conspiracy to promote a false version of events in order to gain public support for a previously planned war policy in the Middle East.  The mass media engaged in a comprehensive propaganda campaign to instill fear in the public.  My family and I decided that it would be safer and more sane to live in Europe, so at the end of November, after the Thanksgiving holiday, we flew to Germany.

Destruction of Evidence 

In Germany, I had the opportunity to interview Andreas von Bülow near Köln.  Von Bülow, an author and former member of the Bundestag (the German parliament) served on the parliamentary commission which oversees the three branches of the German secret service.  Von Bülow said he thought Israel's intelligence service, Mossad, was behind the 9-11 attacks. These attacks, he said, were carried out to turn public opinion against the Arabs and boost military and security spending. 

"You don't get the higher echelons," von Bülow said, referring to the "architectural structure" which masterminds such terror attacks. At this level, he said, the organization doing the planning, such as Mossad, is primarily interested in affecting public opinion.  The terrorists who actually commit the crimes are what von Bülow calls "the working level," such as the nineteen Arabs who allegedly hijacked the planes on September 11.  "The working level is part of the deception," he said. 

"Ninety-five percent of the work of the intelligence agencies around the world is deception and disinformation," he said, which is widely propagated in the mainstream media creating an accepted version of events.  "Journalists don't even raise the simplest questions," he said.  "Those who differ are labeled as crazy." 

Eckehardt Werthebach, the former president of the Verfassungsschutz (a branch of German intelligence), told me that "the deathly precision" and "the magnitude of planning" behind the attacks would have needed "years of planning."  Such a sophisticated operation, Werthebach said, required the "fixed frame" of a state intelligence organization, something not found in a "loose group" of terrorists.  Both Werthebach and von Bülow said the lack of a complete "blue ribbon" investigation, with congressional hearings, into the events of September 11 was incomprehensible.  These men made more sense to me than anyone in the U.S. government or media. 

As incomprehensible as it might seem, the Bush administration delayed and avoided an official investigation for as long as possible – at least until all of the evidence was destroyed.  The steel from the World Trade Center was quickly shipped to Asia where it was melted down.  The evidence from the crime scene was being destroyed as quickly as possible.  This was clearly criminal, yet the highest authorities in the U.S. government and the Department of Justice were allowing it to happen. 

Molten Metal 

I consider 9-11 to be an unsolved crime and have done what I could to investigate the crime using the available evidence.  In the summer of 2002, for example, I wrote an article about the seismic data that showed unexplained spikes occurring at the beginning of each collapse. 

In my research into the removal of the rubble, I learned from one of the contractors and a demolition expert that molten metal had been discovered at the bottom of the rubble pile in the lower basement levels.  This molten metal was described to me as "molten steel" by Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction of Flushing, New York, and Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, Maryland. 

The molten steel was found "three, four, and five weeks later, when the rubble was being removed," Loizeaux said. He said molten steel was also found at WTC 7, the 47-story building owned by Larry Silverstein, which collapsed mysteriously in the late afternoon.  Loizeaux said, "If I were to bring the towers down, I would put explosives in the basement to get the weight of the building to help collapse the structure." 

The molten metal found beneath the rubble was clearly important evidence that could explain how the towers were brought down.  Because each tower was held up by 47 huge box core columns, there had to be an explanation for what caused these columns to fall.  The official explanation that fires had caused the floor trusses to give way failed to explain what happened to the core columns.  To explain the extremely quick collapse of the core columns, the seismic spikes and molten metal seemed to be very important clues. 

Steven E. Jones, a professor of physics at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Utah, contacted me in the summer of 2005 and asked me what I had learned about the discovery of molten metal at the World Trade Center.  I told Jones exactly what Peter Tully and Mark Loizeaux had said about the discovery of molten iron in the basements of the Twin Towers and Building 7.  After studying the reports and photographs of molten metal, Jones had been able to obtain some fragments of the metal.  He concluded that the fragments were primarily iron and possible evidence that Thermite had been used to demolish the buildings. 

The author and Professor Steven E. Jones discuss the evidence of thermite in May 2006.

Encouraged by his research, I visited Professor Jones on the campus of Brigham Young University in the spring of 2006.  From Provo, Utah, I then traveled by train to the University of California at Davis where I met with Professor Thomas A. Cahill, an expert on airborne particles.  Dr. Cahill had conducted a study of the particles contained in the thin bluish smoke that rose from the rubble for nearly four months after 9-11.  Cahill's air sampling began on October 2, 2001 and continued until late December, after the last fires were finally extinguished. 

Asked why it took so long to begin a scientific evaluation of the air contamination that accompanied the destruction of the WTC, Dr. Cahill said he had assumed that there were scores of agencies and scientists monitoring the air quality in New York City after 9-11.  "I assumed it was happening. I could not believe it was not," Cahill said. "The EPA did nothing." 

Cahill's work revealed the presence of extremely small metallic aerosols in unprecedented amounts in the plumes coming from the burning WTC rubble. Most of the particles in these plumes were in the categories of ultra-fine and nano-particles: from 0.26 to 0.09 microns.  The extraordinarily high level of ultra-fine aerosols was one of the most unusual aspects of the data, Cahill said.  "Ultra-fine particles require extremely high temperatures," he said, "namely the boiling point of the metal." 

Since the scientific data supports the theory that some form of Thermite was used to destroy the towers, the question is how it got onto the 81st floor of the south tower, where large amounts of molten metal were seen falling before the collapse?

Molten iron pours out of South Tower about one minute before the tower disintegrated. 

The official final report of the fires does not explain what was on the 81st floor, which seems odd because this is the floor, leased by Fuji Bank, into which the airplane crashed.  A former employee of the bank came forward and told me that the bank had reinforced the floor in 1999 to support a very heavy load of computer back-up batteries.  "The whole floor was batteries," he said, "huge battery-looking things."  They were "all black" and "solid, very heavy" things, which had been brought in during the night.  They had been put in place during the summer prior to 9-11, he said.  But were they really batteries? "It's weird," he said.  "They were never turned on." 

So, what really was on the 81st floor of WTC 2?  What was in these heavy "battery-looking things?"  Were they batteries, or were they Thermite?  And is it more than a coincidence that both planes flew directly into secure computer rooms in both towers and that both spectacular explosions showed evidence of Thermate-produced white smoke? 

The Cover-up Continues 

Despite the legal difficulties, slander, criticism, and other setbacks, I have continued to examine the evidence from 9-11 and ask the questions that demand to be answered.  The wasted lives of the thousands of victims from the terror attacks and the illegal wars that have been waged in the name of 9-11 deserve to be honored with the truth, not a pack of lies pushed by the controlled media onto a gullible public. 

It would be naïve and foolish for us to expect the truth from a government that has been shown to have repeatedly lied to the media and international community in order to accomplish its dubious goals. The truth of 9-11 will certainly not be given to us on a silver platter.  It is something we will have to fight for.

II - The Planes of 9-11

 Chapter II

The Planes of 9-11

A little-known and privately-held aircraft leasing company created by the Israeli military intelligence is connected to the Mossad-run airport security and passenger screening company at the center of the "false flag" terror network of 9-11. 

I am not like those who claimed to be 9-11 researchers, but who now say they have "moved beyond 9-11." How can anyone abandon the pursuit of the truth about 9-11 before the crime has been solved?  More than eight years after the terrorist attacks in which some 3,000 innocent people died, not one victim's lawsuit has yet gone to trial. As a nation, Americans can not allow 9-11 to go unsolved. 

How can we forget the hundreds of people who were roasted alive in the burning twin towers? How can we ignore the death and destruction that we, as a result, have wrongfully inflicted on the innocent people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Palestine?  Who can accept an irresponsible administration dragging our military from one illegal war to another in the utterly fraudulent "war on terror," which the Bush administration promised will last for generations? 

Vice President Dick Cheney said the U.S. must be prepared to fight the "War on Terror" for decades.

If we, as Americans, don't demand the truth about 9-11, who and what do we really stand for?  Everything this administration has done for the past six years has been based on an unproven interpretation of the events of 9-11.  What does it mean to be a citizen of "the land of the free and the home of the brave" if we allow our minds and our nation to be so easily hijacked by government lies and propaganda?  During the past few months, I have redoubled my efforts to solve 9-11. As the cover-up becomes more obvious and the guilty parties reveal themselves, this is the time to intensify the pressure, not give up. 

ZIONIST ZEITGEIST  

I cannot abide mass murder, occupation, and genocidal wars of aggression. Nor can I accept the corruption of our values and destruction of our basic American rights to suit an artificially imposed "War on Terror."  With the passage of time, it is now clear that 9-11 was carried out in order to kick-start the perverse Zionist Zeitgeist called the "War on Terror" with its pre-planned wars of aggression, conquest, and occupation. 

Guantanamo - An affront to American values 

In December 2001, veteran German intelligence professionals told me that 9-11 had been executed by a state-sponsored criminal network and had required years of planning.  Eckehardt Werthebach, the former president of Germany's domestic intelligence service, Verfassungsschutz, told me in 2001 that "the deathly precision" and "the magnitude of planning" of the 9-11 attacks would have required "years of planning."  Such a sophisticated operation, Werthebach said, would require the "fixed frame" of a state intelligence organization, something not found in a "loose group" like the one allegedly led by Mohammed Atta while he studied in Hamburg. 

If Werthebach's analysis is correct, and I have every reason to believe it is, the official version is nothing but a pack of lies. This would mean that the members of the criminal network are still in the highest positions of power in the U.S., Israel, and other nations.  The members of this network are dedicated to preventing the evidence from being released because it would expose the real perpetrators. This is the only logical reason why the 9-11 evidence has been suppressed, the investigation controlled, and the litigation and discovery processes obstructed. 

At this point, it should be clear that 9-11 will never be solved by the federal government, politically appointed investigators, law enforcement agencies, or the corrupt courts.  These controlled agencies, like the Zionist-controlled media, are only interested in controlling the information and preventing the real truth from being revealed.  This crime will only be solved by concerned and dedicated independent researchers.

THE ZIONIST STRATEGY 

9-11 was a very sophisticated operation, as Werthebach said, which required the "fixed frame" of a state intelligence organization. It was carefully planned years in advance and carried out for one strategic purpose: to kick-start the Zionist-planned "War on Terror." 

The rabid neo-con Zionists who have dominated the Bush administration pushed the "War on Terror" with its criminal wars of aggression, occupation, and Balkanization in the Middle East as the strategic response to 9-11. The Zionist media moguls, who dominate the U.S. mass media, have in turn pushed the "war on terror" into the public mind as the suitable and proper response to the attacks, which they have refused to investigate. 

An Israeli official named Oded Yinon revealed the Zionist strategy to Balkanize the entire Middle East into ethnic mini-states in the early 1980s. The plan for a global "War on Terror" to accomplish this goal has been articulated since the mid-1980s ad nauseam by Benjamin Netanyahu, the former Israeli prime minister of the extreme right-wing Likud party. The Israeli military's plans to realize these strategic goals have obviously been in the works for at least three decades.

THE HOAX OF 9-11 

9-11 is, in fact, a gigantic hoax. Only by exposing the terrorist masterminds behind 9-11 will we reveal the criminals behind the fraudulent "War on Terror" and the epidemic of "false flag" terrorism that plagues the world.  False flag terrorism is a crime designed and committed by the architects with the intention of having it blamed on another faction, state, or organization. The media outlets, which the criminals control, facilitate the blame game by repeating the chorus as if from a script and stifling any independent investigation or analysis of the crime. 

9-11, after all, remains an unsolved crime.  It is, however, quite obvious who is responsible for blocking discovery and obstructing justice for the victims and their relatives.  At every critical point where the events and circumstances of 9-11 should have been investigated and discussed, there has been a Zionist, a dedicated devotee of the State of Israel, occupying the key position and acting as the controller and censor of evidence - the gatekeeper of information. 

I have seen this pattern in earlier cover-ups. The same pattern was used with the sinking of Estonia in the Baltic Sea (1994) and the U.S. government's (NTSB) investigation of the downing of TWA Flight 800, two of the most egregious examples of government cover-ups in modern times.  In each case, the three critical phases of the cover-up: investigation and access to evidence, media interpretation of the event, and related litigation, were all tightly controlled to prevent any meaningful discovery of what had really caused the disaster.

Bernard S. Loeb, Director of Aviation Safety at the NTSB, summarized the TWA 800 investigation: "We cannot be certain that this, in fact, occurred, but of all the ignition scenarios we considered, this scenario is the most likely." 

The people who are preventing the discovery of the facts in such cases are actually complicit in covering-up crimes of mass murder.  Logically, there can be no reason for dedicated Zionists to obstruct the investigation of 9-11 other than to conceal the evidence of Israeli and Zionist involvement in the crimes. 

Michael Chertoff, then Asst. Attorney General, oversaw the non-investigation of 9-11 and destruction of the steel from the World Trade Center - crucial evidence.  Chertoff went on to head the Department of Homeland Security, where he continued to control access to the evidence through the Sensitive Security Information (SSI) program.

The FBI, for example, under the command of the Israeli dual-national Michael Chertoff, is responsible for the confiscation of the crucial evidence from 9-11, evidence which has been withheld to this day.  This evidence includes video tapes of the Pentagon attack and physical pieces from the different aircraft involved.  This evidence is critical to prove what happened and which aircraft were involved in the attacks - but the FBI has refused to release this evidence. Neither President George W. Bush nor the U.S. Congress has demanded that they do so.  The destruction and suppression of crucial evidence from 9-11 and the lack of a real investigation indicate that a culture of corruption and lack of transparency exist at all levels of government. 

The appointed federal judges Alvin K. Hellerstein and Michael B. Mukasey, and the former assistant attorney general Michael Chertoff, who now heads Homeland Security, have not worked since 9-11 to hide the critical evidence and block discovery in order to protect fanatical Arab Muslims or conspiratorial Jesuits. The efforts of these dedicated Zionists have been exerted to protect Israel, the foreign state to which they are wholeheartedly devoted.

U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein controls the 9-11 tort litigation in which not one single case has gone to trial.  Hellerstein has close family ties to Israel. 

The 9-11 cover-up is now full-blown, and the Zionist role in this charade is obvious.  The players who are involved in obstructing justice are known.  At this point, patriotic Americans must not abandon the pursuit of the truth.  For those who died on 9-11 and in its aftermath, for our nation, and our posterity, we are obliged to find those who are responsible for the crimes and cover-up of 9-11.

THE EVIDENCE OF ISRAELI INVOLVEMENT 

I have pursued the leads of Israeli involvement simply because the evidence indicates that the Israeli military and intelligence had prior knowledge and involvement in 9-11.  The five jubilant Israeli Mossad agents who were caught celebrating and filming themselves in front of the destruction of the World Trade Center, and their subsequent public statements, clearly indicate that the Mossad had prior knowledge of 9-11.

Three of the Israeli agents arrested on 9-11 appeared on Israeli television in November 2001 and admitted that their mission had been to document the 9-11 attacks.

The text message warnings of the attacks sent over the Mossad-controlled Odigo instant messaging system several hours prior to the attacks are further evidence of Israeli prior knowledge.  Furthermore, the Israelis have a long history of committing "false flag" terror attacks, particularly against American targets. The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 and the Israeli terrorist bombings of U.S. and British civilian targets in Egypt during the 1954 Lavon Affair are the first that come to mind.  

The USS Liberty after the Israeli attack that killed 34 U.S. servicemen and wounded 171.  "The [Israeli] ground control station ordered the aircraft to attack and sink the target and ensure they left no survivors," Steve Forslund, a former USAF intelligence analyst told the Chicago Tribune. 

If the evidence indicated that Saudis, Pakistanis, or even Jesuits were behind the attacks, I would investigate them. The evidence, however, points to Israelis being involved - so I look there.  There has been no independent investigation of 9-11 done by the controlled media other than Carl Cameron's now deeply-buried four-part series on FOX News in December 2001. Think about this for a minute. The mass media in the land of the "free press" has not done any independent investigation about the crime of the century. 

The evidence of Israeli involvement in 9-11 is too obvious, so senior editors in the controlled media don't let their journalists even approach the subject. The journalists of the "free press" in the United States are, unfortunately, confined to the same "Auschwitz of the Mind" as the American public they write for. They know very well that to touch the subject of Israeli involvement in 9-11 would be like touching a live wire.  Likewise, when it comes to tracking the Israeli criminal network that has operated in the United States for decades, the U.S. media is simply a dog that won't bark - or hunt. 

The extent of Zionist control over the U.S. mass media, including the Internet, is astounding.  The mass media has effectively prevented most Americans from understanding who is really behind the false flag terror attacks of 9-11, and, by extension, the illegal and genocidal wars in Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq.  The controlled media has also left Americans with an extremely distorted view of the Middle East, Zionism, and the history of the Zionist state, Israel. 

 
Jews from Eastern Europe created an empire of their own in Hollywood in the early 1900s and have influenced how Americans see the world ever since. 

ISRAEL - A TERRORIST STATE 

Israel is a nation which was founded by terrorists, ruthless men with histories of committing genocidal crimes and false flag terror attacks.  Israel was created in 1948 in Palestine on land that had been "ethnically cleansed" of its indigenous Christian and Muslim inhabitants. 

Ariel Sharon, the former prime minister who has been in a coma since January 4, 2006, is a prime example of an Israeli terrorist.  Sharon came to power in early 2001, about the same time as George W. Bush, some eight months before 9-11.  Sharon is a well-known terrorist and génocidaire, i.e. a person who has been involved in genocide.  

Sharon has supervised numerous terrorist atrocities, such as the 1982 massacre in Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, in which thousands of innocent people were massacred. Sharon is a Zionist extremist who believes that every Jew should live in Israeli-occupied Palestine.  Realistically, what else besides terrorism and bloodshed should one expect from such fanatical and genocidal terrorists?

Ariel "Arik" Sharon (smiling on left) with Moshe Dayan and members of his notorious "anti-terror" Unit 101 (1953-56) which committed a number of atrocities such as the Qibya Massacre of October 1953 in which 69 Palestinians were killed, many whose houses were blown up over their heads. Forty-five houses, a school, and a mosque were destroyed.  Sharon, a well known terrorist, became Israel's prime minister in 2001. 

The sons and daughters of the original Zionist terrorists have occupied the highest positions of power in the Israeli government. Tzipora Malka "Tzipi" Livni, for example, the foreign minister (2006-09), is the daughter of the former terror chief of the Irgun.  Born in Tel Aviv in July 1958, "Tzipi" is the daughter of Eitan Livni (born Yerucham Bzozowitch in Grodno) a Polish-born Irgun terrorist associated with the King David Hotel bombing. 

Steven Erlanger, in a New York Times article about Livni entitled "Israel's Top Envoy," dated February 5, 2006, wrote: 

Tzipi Livni, 47, is the first woman to serve as Israel's foreign minister since Golda Meir. Some think she may be the first since Ms. Meir to be prime minister. 

She is also a deeply Israeli figure, the daughter of Zionist guerrillas - terrorists in some eyes - who met in the Irgun, the underground organization that fought the British and the Arabs, and that blew up the British headquarters in the King David Hotel in 1946, killing 91 people. 

Her father, Eitan, was the Irgun's head of operations, and on his gravestone is the map of Greater Israel, extending over both sides of the Jordan River.  Erlanger suggests that blowing up a hotel full of people in Jerusalem and killing 91 people is only a terrorist act "in some eyes."

Eitan Livni (born Yerucham Bzozowitch in Grodno, 1919) was head of operations for the Irgun.  Livni was part of the Irgun mission sent to Britain in the 1940s to kill British political and military leaders. 

The fact that the Israeli political leadership and military command decided to launch a vicious attack on a defenseless U.S. reconnaissance ship, the USS Liberty, off the coast of Gaza and kill every man on board illustrates that the Israelis are fully capable of committing such atrocities in their attempts to blame their enemies and achieve their strategic goals.  Dedicated Zionists will either deny or defend these acts of Israeli false flag terrorism as the "pragmatic" thing to do and attack those who disagree as anti-Semitic.

FALSE FLAG TERROR - AN ISRAELI SPECIALTY 

The Zionist-controlled media has refused to conduct its own investigation of 9-11, the crime of the century.  Controlled news outlets like the New York Times promoted the "War on Terror" and pushed the illegal war of aggression against Iraq, with propaganda and false reports about weapons of mass destruction provided by Judith Miller.

False flag terror acts are an Israeli specialty, as Dr. Kaasem Khaleel points out in his book Wrongly Blamed (2007).  "Public terror was invented by the Israelis," Khaleel wrote citing Christopher Sykes' book Crossroads to Israel: 

To achieve their political goals, Zionists are dependent on terror. These terror acts are used as a distraction. Even though the Israelis are the sources, they effectively blame others.  The fabricated terror they commit is an assault on people's intelligence.  Thus people are being purposely misled regarding the real source of these crimes. 

The Zionist-controlled media has purposely misled the public about 9-11 for the same reason as the Zionist judges, investigators, and commissioners:  to protect the evidence of Israeli involvement from being exposed.

Judith Miller of the New York Times lied about weapons of mass destruction in order to build public opinion for the pre-planned Zionist war of aggression against Iraq.

Deception comes naturally to Judith Miller.  She is the daughter of William Miller, a Jew from Pinsk, Russia.  Bill Miller was a New Jersey nightclub owner who later made it big as entertainment director of the Sahara, Dunes, Flamingo, and International hotels in Las Vegas. 

The controlled U.S. media works with the Zionist criminal network and allows it to flourish by failing to investigate, identify, or report on the companies and individuals involved.

THE PLANES OF 9-11 

9-11 was an act of false flag terror in which four allegedly "hijacked" airplanes were used as weapons of mass destruction. There are, however, many unanswered questions about the airplanes involved.  There are many observations about these planes which suggest they were not the civilian airliners they are said to have been. The plane that struck the SouthTower, for example, had unusual shapes, bulges, and holes, which have led many analysts to believe it was a Boeing 767-300 refueling tanker that had been disguised as a 767-200 United Airlines passenger jet.

Images of the plane that struck the South Tower

Durable parts from the two jets that struck the twin towers, such as landing gear and engines, landed on the streets of Manhattan. On these engines and landing gear are many numbered time-tracked parts which could prove precisely which aircraft they had been put on and when they had been serviced, but the FBI has refused to present this evidence to make its case. Why wouldn't the FBI present this evidence if it had it? 

The jet engine that landed on Murray Street contains specific numbered and time-tracked parts which would identify exactly which aircraft struck the World Trade Center.  Why has the U.S. government withheld this evidence?

The only possible explanation for the FBI's failure to present this evidence is that the evidence does not match the planes they claim hit the buildings or "crashed" in Pennsylvania.  If the planes that were involved in the attacks on the World Trade Center were, in fact, not United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11, but remotely-controlled tankers painted to look like civilian aircraft, who could have produced such disguised planes and inserted them into the NORAD anti-terrorism exercise that was taking place in the airspace of the East Coast on the morning of 9-11?

ISRAEL AIRCRAFT INDUSTRIES (IAI) 

Given the evidence of Israeli prior knowledge, the obvious questions are: Did the Israelis have the means to carry off such a complex operation? And if they had the means, is there a link between their capability and the events of 9-11?  The answer to both questions is yes. 

The Israeli military and intelligence agency have long had the capability to convert and disguise large-body aircraft in the United States, and their companies that do this kind of work are connected to ICTS, the Israeli airport security company that is a prime suspect in the "false flag" terrorism.  ICTS is also a key defendant in the 9-11 litigation. 

The Israeli military has spawned several aircraft leasing and maintenance companies in the United States since the late 1960s. There is, in fact, a network of Israeli-controlled aviation companies operating in the United States which were all started by Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), now known as Israel Aerospace Industries.  Israel Aircraft Industries is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Israeli Defense Ministry, which produces and maintains planes and missiles. 

One of the Israeli military's aviation companies spawned in the United States is or was an aircraft leasing company named ATASCO, which began operating in the United States in the early 1970s.  I began investigating ATASCO in August 2006.  As a matter of fact, I spoke with Shalom Yoran, the Israeli chairman of this now defunct Israeli company, about six hours before three undercover police arrived at my house and, without cause or provocation, TASERed me and broke my elbow in front of my family on August 15, 2006. 

I had come across Shalom Yoran's name while researching Amit and Naftali Yoran, the suspicious young Israelis who oversaw cyber-security for the U.S. government and military computers prior to and after 9-11. 

Shalom Yoran has an extremely suspicious and unusual profile for an Israeli immigrant to the United States.  He was in the original Israeli air force of 1948 and is a founder and former head of Israel Aircraft Industries.  Yoran was instrumental in building the IAI into an internationally recognized company and the largest industry in Israel.

Shalom Yoran (born Selim Sznycer, Poland) wearing a fake British uniform in Palestine, 1946.  Yoran became the co-founder and head of Israel Aircraft Industries and Bedek. 

Before Yoran emigrated to the United States, which is very unusual for Israelis of his age and with his high-level military background, he had spent the previous ten years as senior vice president of IAI and as president of IAI's parent company, Bedek. Israelis like Yoran don't usually come to America as immigrants - they are sent there on a mission. 

Israel Aircraft Industries was established in 1953 as Bedek Aviation Company, five years after the establishment of the State of Israel. Today, Bedek is the senior group of Israel Aerospace Industries and specializes in aircraft operation, conversion, maintenance, and overhaul.  In 1975, when Yoran "left" Bedek and IAI at the unusually young retirement age of fifty, the corporation had 22,000 employees, of which 4,000 worked in the Bedek Division. In reality, Yoran didn't leave Bedek and IAI at all; he was sent by the Israeli military to the United States to manage one of their most important operations - ATASCO. 

In his on-line biographies, Yoran says he was appointed to this position: "When he retired at the age of fifty [ca. 1975], he was appointed the President of Atasco, an American Flight company for cargo shipment and maintenance." 

His 2003 biography on the website of Tel Aviv University (TAU) has a similar tale: "At the age of fifty, Shalom Yoran retired from the Israel Aircraft Industries. In 1978 he moved to the U.S. where he became chairman of ATASCO USA - a private aircraft trading and service company. ATASCO bought and leased airplanes to major airlines around the world. The company also had an aircraft maintenance and modification plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. 

"Shalom Yoran continues to be chairman of ATASCO USA," the 2003 TAU entry noted.  How could an Israeli be appointed to be president or chairman of an "American" company, unless that company were actually an Israeli company disguised as an American company?  And why would an Israeli company doing business in the United States want to disguise the fact that it is Israeli-owned in the first place?

THE ATASCO-BEDEK CONNECTION 

ATASCO USA was, of course, created and owned by the Israeli military and connected to the Mossad, but this information is not easily found.  There has only been one article that I have found that mentions what ATASCO has been doing for the past 36 years in the United States, since it was first created by the Israeli Defense Ministry in 1971.  That article, entitled "Ugandan Plane Deal Believed Key to Israeli Spy Operation," was published in the Washington Post of September 11, 1978. 

This investigative article, which involved an international team of journalists that included an Israeli, focused on the "mysterious Israeli tycoon and the Mossad, Israeli's intelligence service," and how they had provided the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin with two Boeing 707 jetliners as part of an Israeli effort to spy on Libya.  The "big winner" and tycoon in this Mossad spying operation was Shaul Nehemia Eisenberg (1921-1997), "the reclusive Israeli entrepreneur at its center." 

Eisenberg was, as the Washington Post reported in 1978, the central figure in the Mossad spying operation on Libya: 

The chief Eisenberg firm in these deals was Aircraft Trading and Services Inc., or Atasco. Headquartered in Asia House, Eisenberg's luxury building in Tel Aviv, Atasco also has branches in the "Eisenberg Building" in New York and in London. 

Atasco was put together in 1971 by executives of Israeli Aircraft Industries, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Israeli Defense Ministry that makes planes and missiles. 

Eisenberg got into Atasco as an equal partner with Israeli Aircraft for $500,000 in cash. After the 1973 Middle East War, Israeli Aircraft, staggered by scandals, sold its share in Atasco to Eisenberg, leaving him its sole owner. 

The rest of Atasco's original capital, $5 million, came from the U.S. Export-Import Bank, which is supposed to make loans to promote American exports. 

The Ex-Im Bank certainly found the right man in Eisenberg. He quickly turned into an eager customer for Pan American Airways' used Boeing 707s. 

Atasco bought 12 or 15 of the advance series "C" 707s that Pan Am was selling and purchased six out of ten earlier series "C" 707s being sold by the airline. 

At its Israeli hangars, currently jammed with 707s bearing obscure markings, Atasco remodels the interiors to suit customers, and paints on their proud colors - Iran Air, Tarom of Romania, Uganda Airlines. 

In May 1976, Atasco sold the 707 that was once Pan Am's "Clipper Jupiter" to a firm in Zurich, which dealt it on to Amin.

Intelligence sources say that the head of this Zurich firm is a 15-year veteran of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, and the firm is an agency "laundry." It exists, these sources say, to pass on Mossad funds for deals in which the Israeli secret service is interested. 

The Washington Post, one of the most important newspapers in the United States, is a leading national newspaper of record. Oddly, however, the extremely important information contained in this article about ATASCO was never repeated in any of the subsequent articles in which this mysterious company was mentioned, for example, when Gerald L. Gitner, an aviation executive with Pan Am, TWA, and a host of smaller airlines, was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ATASCO USA, Inc. 

In 1986, when Gitner became CEO of the Israeli-owned company with a documented history of murky business, the company was described as a New York aircraft leasing and brokerage company. ATASCO's previously published history of involvement in Mossad operations was never mentioned.  Gitner, who was CEO of Mossad's "privately held" aircraft leasing and maintenance company until 1990, was involved in the dismemberment and selling off of the assets of the once prosperous Pan Am and TWA airlines. 

In October 1986, when Gitner was appointed CEO of the Mossad-run ATASCO U.S.A. Inc., he was or had been a senior executive with PanAm Corporation and TWA.  He was the president of Texas Air Corporation, the holding company for Continental Airlines and New York Air, when he was appointed president and CEO of ATASCO U.S.A., "a private aviation concern involved in commercial aircraft leasing and heavy aircraft maintenance." 

Gitner was also co-founder and president of People Express Airlines. The Houston Chronicle of October 3, 1986, however, only identified ATASCO as "an aircraft leasing and brokerage company."

EISENBERG - "WORLD ENTREPRENEUR" 

In November 1982, when Eisenberg became involved in the Tregaron deal and tried to take over a large piece of prime real estate in Washington, D.C., the Washington Post wrote about Mossad's "world entrepreneur" and their point man in China - and Panama: 

Eisenberg was profiled in a 1981 Business Week article as a businessman of enormous wealth, diversity of business interests, and a proclivity for secretiveness in his dealings. He owns a worldwide network of corporations. His largest company, United Development Inc., was set up in Panama in 1960. 

Eisenberg essentially acts as a middleman, according to reports on his dealings, assembling consortiums of manufacturers, builders and banks to construct industrial facilities of all types. 

Since Eisenberg was the "sole owner" of ATASCO since 1973, the Mossad's "aircraft trading and services" company naturally began its murky business on the American continent in Panama.  In 1978 the Washington Post reported that there were "frequent but unsubstantiated reports that Eisenberg operates mostly from Central America." Eisenberg was the "Panamanian honorary general consul in Tel Aviv," the Post reported. 

The first mention of ATASCO other than the 1978 article in the Washington Post was in the New York Times on October 29, 1981, when it reported that Emery Air Freight had purchased a Boeing 727-100 from Atasco-Panama.

IDF - ISRAELI DRUG FORCES? 

Israel Aircraft Industries also has a branch, IAI Sucursal Colombia, in Bogota, Colombia.  Colombia is a nation better known for the production and distribution of cocaine than aircraft. Why would IAI establish aircraft leasing and maintenance facilities in Colombia and Panama? 

Is airlifting drugs a central part of the IAI operations in Latin America?  Does the Mossad use IAI facilities in Colombia to run its own drug smuggling routes to fund its operations? Does Mossad drug smuggling involve American politicians (and intelligence agencies) which it controls through criminal complicity?

 
Israel is deeply involved in the Colombian drug trade.  Here a Colombian military chief tries out Israeli weapons during a visit to Israel.

There are a number of indications that the Mossad is deeply involved in the Colombian drug trade. The horde of Mossad operatives who were disguised as Israeli art students in the years prior to 9-11 were known to have been targeting the offices and personnel of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Why would the Mossad be seeking to penetrate the DEA if it were not involved in drug smuggling? 

It is also well known that Israeli gangs are heavily involved in illicit drug smuggling. A disproportionately large number of Israelis have been arrested in Europe and the United States with large amounts of narcotics and synthetic drugs such as Ecstasy. Are these the small fry of a much larger Israeli presence in the illegal drug trade? 

The rumors about the Bush and Clinton families being involved in large scale drug smuggling operations are legion.  From George H.W. Bush's days in the Texas oil business and as head of the CIA to his position as a director of the Prozac giant Eli Lilly and Company, the drug trade is a central part of the Bush family legend. 

The allegations about Governor Bill Clinton's involvement in the drug smuggling operation in Mena, Arkansas are also legion. Aircraft were used to smuggle drugs and weapons through the airport in Mena in the 1980s while Gov. Clinton protected the entire operation.  "Given the scope and implications of the Mena story, it may be easy to understand the media's initial skepticism and reluctance," Sally Denton and Roger Morris wrote in their July 1995 article "The Crimes of Mena": 

Mena, from 1981 to 1985, was indeed one of the centers for international smuggling traffic. According to official I.R.S. and D.E.A. calculations, sworn court testimony, and other corroborative records, the traffic amounted to thousands of kilos of cocaine and heroin and literally hundreds of millions of dollars in drug profits. According to a 1986 letter from the Louisiana attorney general to then U.S. attorney general Edwin Meese, [Adler Berriman Seal, or "Barry"] Seal "smuggled between $3 billion and $5 billion of drugs into the U.S." 

Adler Berriman Seal had been a pilot with TWA from 1966 to 1974, according to his on-line biography. Gitner, who began his career at TWA in 1968 was a vice president when he also left TWA in 1974 to join the much smaller Texas International Airlines. 

The numerous reports and allegations of involvement in drug smuggling are what the Bush and Clinton families have in common. These are the families which have dominated the executive branch of the United States government since 1981. There has been either a Bush or Clinton in the White House for the past 26 years, since January 1981.  Is the illegal drug business the central criminal activity that the Bush and Clinton families have participated in with the Israeli Mossad? 

If the reports, allegations, and rumors are true, the illegal drug trade is where the interests of the Bush family, the Clintons, the CIA, and the Mossad all come together. This would explain the choice to invade and occupy Afghanistan, where opium production is now at record levels after having been nearly eradicated under the Taliban regime.  This would also explain the unusual pressure to medicate the 9-11 relatives.  It appears that drug smuggling could very well be the illegal enterprise at the center of the criminal network behind 9-11. This is a subject that certainly deserves further investigation.

"CLIPPER JUPITER" AND ZIMEX AVIATION 

In the 1978 article about Eisenberg and the Mossad the Washington Post reported that ATASCO had sold the Boeing 707, which had been Pan Am's "Clipper Jupiter," to a firm in Zurich, which had immediately transferred ownership to Idi Amin in Uganda: 

Intelligence sources say that the head of this Zurich firm is a 15-year veteran of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, and the firm is an agency 'laundry.' It exists, these sources say, to pass on Mossad funds for deals in which the Israeli secret service is interested. 

Pan Am's "Clipper Jupiter," with tail registration number N766PA, was sold to a Zurich-based company called Zimex Aviation on May 12, 1976. The same day, Zimex Aviation transferred the plane with a new tail number, 5X-UAL, to Uganda Airlines. 

The "15-year veteran of Mossad" would be Hans Ziegler, who headed Zimex as reported in The Oregonian on August 22, 1988: 

Charles Hanner, then a Page [Airways] vice president, testified by deposition that he had been introduced to Amin by Hans Ziegler, a veteran agent of Mossad, the Israeli military intelligence service. Ziegler's Swiss company, Zimex Aviation, had sold a number of aircraft to Middle Eastern potentates and to Amin's friend Moammar Khadafy, the Libyan dictator.

ATASCO TIES TO 9-11 

Gitner reportedly stayed with ATASCO from October 1986 through December 1989.  In 1989, Gitner was appointed to head Presidential Airways of Herndon, Virginia.  Gitner later served on the board of directors of another Mossad-run company, ICTS, which is one of the key defendants in the 9-11 litigation. Along with a handful of senior Israeli Mossad veterans, Gitner was a director of ICTS from at least 1997 through 2005. Most significantly, he was a director of the Israeli parent company which was responsible for airline security and passenger screening at Boston's Logan Airport on 9-11. 

International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS) International, N.V. is the Mossad-run company that owns Huntleigh USA, the airline security company that oversaw the passenger screening operation at Boston and Newark airports on September 11, 2001.  How would Gitner be a director or CEO of a Mossad-run company like ATASCO or ICTS if he were not working for the Mossad? Has Gerald Gitner from Boston been working with the Israelis since he began at TWA in the late 1960s? Is this the reason he left TWA and began working for Texas International?

BOEING 767 CONVERSIONS - BEDEK'S SPECIALTY 

IAI is "a world leader in aircraft conversion and modernization programs, unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), communication programs and defense electronics," according to the company's website.  Shalom Yoran's company, Bedek Aviation Group, reportedly converted its first Boeing 767 from a passenger to cargo jet in early 2000.  The converted passenger jet was the first of eleven 767s to be converted for Airborne-Express, according to the Jerusalem Post of April 4, 2000.  "Bedek is one of the world's leaders in plane conversions," the Israeli newspaper reported. 

In early 2001, Bedek delivered a refurbished Boeing 707 refueling tanker for the Israeli air force, according to the Jerusalem Post of February 22, 2001.  "The number of [Israeli] refueling tankers is classified," the Post reported. "The first 707 air refueling tanker converted for the Air Force was delivered twenty years ago."  This Israeli report indicates that Bedek has been converting Boeing aircraft into tankers since the early 1980s. 

"The main benefit of this present aircraft is in its versatility, its quick conversion from a refueling tanker to a cargo jet. In this way, the aircraft can be used as a cargo plane in times of peace and a refueling tanker in an emergency," an IAI statement said.

IAI IN MIAMI - COMMODORE AVIATION 

"Boeing has been working with Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd. for 30 years," the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported in October 1998. 

Miami International Airport has long been the site of one of Bedek's maintenance stations, along with Paris, Moscow, Baku, and Baikal, according to the Jerusalem Post of January 13, 1995.  The Bedek operation in Miami was known as Commodore Aviation. IAI and Bedek had "offices in Arlington, Va.; New York City; Princeton, N.J., for its Galaxy Aerospace subsidiary; and in Miami for its Commodore Aviation unit," according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer article from 1998. 

Florida Governor Jeb Bush made a four-day trade mission to Israel in November 1999 during which he appealed to the state-owned Israel Aircraft Industries to expand their business operations in Florida.  IAI's Miami-based Commodore Aviation was already the largest Israeli business presence in Florida in 1999 with about 500 employees, the Stuart News (Florida) reported.

In 2003, Commodore Aviation, "part of IAI's Bedek Aviation Group," pulled out of Miami, reportedly owing nearly a million dollars to the Miami airport, and moved to Rome, New York, where it renamed its operation the "Empire Air Center." 

"Commodore has been searching for a new location since June 2002 and owes $800,000 in back rent to Miami International Airport, where it's currently based," South Florida CEO reported in May 2003, when it announced Commodore Aviation's move to New York and its name change. 

Like ATASCO, Commodore has been generously funded by the U.S. taxpayer. Commodore Aviation actually made money by its move to the former Griffis Air Force Base, where it operates in a massive hangar in which B-52 bombers and tankers were once serviced.  The move profited Commodore, which received some $25 million in grants and tax incentives from federal and New York sources, the Jerusalem Post reported on November 21, 2003.  "The whole relocation didn't cost IAI one dollar," said Gerry Stoch, New York state's economic attache in Israel.

III - America the Target: 9-11 and Israel's History of False Flag Terrorism

 Chapter III

America the Target:  9-11 and Israel's History of False Flag Terrorism

 
U.S. President George W. Bush, flanked by Israeli leaders Ehud Olmert and Shimon Peres, January 2008
 
Why should they, the Americans, have trusted us?  We were a bunch of Russians; socialist Russians.
- Isser Harel, founder of Israeli intelligence, on U.S. relations with Israel

The previous chapter explains that the Israeli military has a history of owning and operating private aircraft leasing and maintenance companies in the United States.  These privately-held aviation companies, created by the Israeli military and linked to its state-owned aviation industry, clearly had the capability and advanced avionics required to convert Boeing aircraft into remote-controlled drones like those that apparently struck the World Trade Center (WTC) on 9-11.
 
Given the Israeli military's capability to carry out the attacks, the evidence of Israeli prior knowledge raises a fundamental question that must be asked:  Would the Israeli military conduct such an outrageous act of terror?

Millions of Americans have blindly accepted, without any proof, the government and controlled media's tale that nineteen Arabs, who lacked basic piloting skills, were responsible for the coordinated precision aerial attacks and subsequent carnage and destruction of 9-11.  On the other hand, the same government and media have shown absolutely no interest in probing the evidence or looking into the many unanswered questions surrounding the attacks.  There can only be one logical explanation for the persistent avoidance of the evidence by the institutions that should be leading the investigation.  It is because the evidence does not fit or contradicts the fictitious tale they have presented to the public.

The number of people who realize that the government and media have lied about 9-11 is significant and continues to grow all the time.  The pack of lies surrounding the attacks has been thoroughly exposed and can no longer be supported.  Unable to defend their fictional tale against the evidence presented by honest scientists and writers, the defenders of the lie use disinformation, defamation, and slander to try and contain the truth and prevent it from spreading like wildfire.

ISRAELI PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

While the evidence indicates that the Israelis had prior knowledge of 9-11, commonly-held misconceptions about Israel and a general lack of understanding of Zionism's brutal history of terrorism prevent most people from comprehending the Israeli connection.  An ignorance of Zionist history, cultivated by the controlled media, prevents people from understanding the present reality.  In order to understand 9-11, it is essential to have a grasp of the history of previous Israeli attacks on the United States. This chapter examines a few little-known, but key events in the history of Israeli false-flag terror attacks and the Zionist planners behind them.  The names and events discussed in this chapter are at the center of Zionist terrorism, false-flag and otherwise.

"False-flag" terrorism means an act of terror planned and perpetrated by one party for the purpose of having the blame assigned to its enemy for political or strategic purposes.  9-11, like many of the terror attacks that have occurred in occupied-Iraq, was a textbook false-flag operation.  False-flag attacks are designed to foment hostility or instigate war between groups or nations.

Only very rarely has the United States, oceans away from the conflicts of Europe and Asia, actually been attacked by foreign militaries.  The British invasion during the War of 1812 and the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 are the only two foreign attacks, prior to 9-11, that come to mind.  Although 9-11 is disguised and interpreted by the government and media as an act of terrorism carried out by Islamic fanatics, the evidence indicates that it was a carefully planned false-flag attack carried out by the Israeli military after years of planning and preparation.

EVIDENCE OF ISRAELI INVOLVEMENT
 
This is not a hypothesis that can be easily dismissed as based on mere speculation or prejudice. There is solid evidence that Israeli intelligence agencies had prior knowledge of 9-11, which is indicative of involvement in the attacks.  Public statements made by key terror suspects, the five jubilant "movers" arrested in New Jersey, for example, who were actually Israeli intelligence agents, indicate that they possessed prior knowledge of the attacks.

In November 2001, after two months in U.S. custody, three of the five agents appeared on Israeli television and admitted, in plain Hebrew, that their purpose had been to document the event. The Israeli interviewer did not ask the men who had sent them, but it is quite clear they were working for Israeli intelligence.

Three of the five Israeli agents appeared on television when they were sent back to Israel and openly admitted that their "purpose had been to document the event."

The five fake movers from Urban Moving Systems of Weehawken, New Jersey, were actually operatives of the Israeli secret services.  The five Israeli agents, described in early news reports as "Middle Eastern," had been sought by the FBI and New Jersey authorities after they had been seen celebrating and photographing the destruction of the World Trade Center.  The Israelis made a video of themselves with the burning towers behind them as they flicked their cigarette lighters, laughed, and celebrated as hundreds of innocent people were being roasted alive. Reportedly, they had worn Palestinian or Arab garb, which was later found in their van.

Two of the five Israelis, who were caught with multiple passports, box cutters, thousands of dollars stuffed into their socks, and driving a van that tested positive for explosives, were actually on a list of foreign intelligence agents known to U.S. law enforcement authorities at the time.

ABC News did a follow up on the Israeli agents in June 2002:

The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign passports. A box cutter was found in the van. But perhaps the biggest surprise for the officers came when the five men identified themselves as Israeli citizens.

‘We Are Not Your Problem’

According to the police report, one of the passengers told the officers they had been on the West Side Highway in Manhattan "during the incident" — referring to the World Trade Center attack. The driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem." The other passengers were his brother Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner, and Omer Marmari.

The five "movers" were evidently part of a much larger Israeli terror operation in New York City.  The Urban Moving Systems company was later exposed as a Mossad "front" company, a fake agency set up to facilitate their terror operation. An American who worked with the company said he was shocked to see that the Israeli employees had openly rejoiced over the attacks.

In November 2001, the five Israeli agents and terror suspects were returned to Israel on "visa violations" although they first repeatedly refused to take, and then failed lie detector tests concerning their involvement in 9-11.

Instant messages warning of the attack at the WTC, predicting the event to the precise minute, sent via the Mossad-owned Odigo messaging system hours before the first plane hit the North Tower, are further evidence that members of Israeli intelligence agencies had very specific and accurate knowledge of the terror attacks – long before they occurred.

In a complex and elaborately planned crime of mass murder and terrorism like 9-11, possession of specific prior knowledge like that held by the fake Israeli movers and the senders of the Odigo messages is clearly evidence of involvement in the crime. 

Had the recipients of the Odigo warnings contacted the responsible authorities in New York City, thousands of lives would have been saved.  If these people were not complicit in the crime, why didn't they contact the authorities?  Taking the evidence of Israeli prior knowledge into consideration with the Israeli military's capability to launch such a sophisticated false-flag terror attack, the obvious question has to be asked:  Would Israeli military agencies commit such an atrocious act of terrorism in the United States in order to achieve a strategic goal?

The question whether Israeli strategic planners would conduct a false-flag terror attack against the United States, their most powerful ally, in order to fix the blame on the Arabs, their enemies, raises several specific questions:

1.    Has the Israeli military conducted false-flag terror attacks against the United States in the past?

2.    If so, are there links between the people or agencies involved in the previous terror attacks and 9-11?

3.    Is there a strategic goal for which Zionist planners would conduct such an extremely dangerous and sophisticated terrorist operation?

4.    If so, has that strategic goal been realized as a result of 9-11?

The answer to all four questions is yes.  The Israeli military has a documented history of conducting military and false-flag terror attacks against the United States. It also has a history of withholding information from the United States about threats that it has knowledge of.

Specific Zionist extremists are, furthermore, the prime suspects with the strongest motive for having carried out 9-11. The Zionist motive was to kick-start their long-planned U.S.-led "War on Terror" with a spectacular terror attack against the United States.  Like any other crime, solving 9-11 requires that we diligently investigate those suspects with strong motives and prior histories of committing similar crimes. There are a number of senior Israeli suspects who fit this description.  On the other hand, there is no reasonable Arab motive to attack the World Trade Center or the Pentagon.  Why would Arabs or Moslems commit such a counter-productive act?  Why would any Arab organization commit a senseless crime knowing that it would invite a U.S. military invasion of their nation or another Islamic nation? The Arab/Islamic terror scenario makes very little sense.

ISRAEL'S HISTORY OF TERROR

We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.
- David Ben Gurion, first prime minister of Israel, to the General Staff, May 1948

Zionists and Israelis, on the other hand, have long employed terrorism as a tool and a tactic.  Senior officials of the Israeli government, the Mossad, and Israeli military intelligence, an organization known as AMAN, have a long history of using terror as a tool.  Zionist immigrants from Poland and Russia used terrorism to drive the native population of Palestine from their land, homes, and villages during the war of 1947-48.  Some 400 Palestinian villages and towns were obliterated and their populations killed or sent into exile as refugees.  Many of the Palestinian houses and villages were taken over by Jewish immigrants; others were razed to the ground.

The Zionists also began using terrorism as a tactic against the West in the 1940s, carrying out false-flag terror attacks against the United States and Britain as far back as the bombing of Jerusalem's King David Hotel on July 22, 1946.  The bombing of the luxury hotel was ordered by Menachem Begin, the head of the Irgun, a Zionist terrorist organization during the 1930s and 1940s. Begin, a terrorist and avowed racist, later became prime minister of Israel, a position he held during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, which was led by Ariel Sharon, then minister of defense.  Begin had a Jewish supremacist view of the world, which he used to justify his crimes of terrorism and genocide.  "[The Palestinians] are beasts walking on two legs," Begin, then Prime Minister Begin, said in a speech to the Knesset, as quoted by the Israeli writer Amnon Kapeliouk in his article "Begin and the Beasts" published in the New Statesman of June 25, 1982.

Menachem Begin, the Polish-born head of the terrorist gang Irgun, and the King David Hotel he ordered bombed in 1946.  "Everything was coordinated with the Haganah," Prime Minister Begin later told the Israel Broadcasting Authority.

Irgun and Haganah terrorists, disguised as Arabs, set off seven large demolition bombs in the basement of the King David Hotel, which was the base for the British Secretariat and the military command in British-occupied Palestine. Ninety-one people were killed, most of them staff of the secretariat.  The attack on the hotel was the deadliest attack against the British in the history of the Mandate. To this day, the Zionist bombing of the King David Hotel is the terrorist act which has caused the greatest number of casualties in the history of the Israeli-Arab conflict. Zionist extremists, however, are proud of the terrorist bombing as one of their actions that compelled the British to give up the Mandate over Palestine.

David Ben Gurion, the head of the Haganah militia who advocated the use of terror as a tool, supported the bombing. Although the Haganah publicly condemned the bombing afterwards, many researchers insist that the Haganah directly authorized the bombing.  "Everything was coordinated with the Haganah," former prime minister and Irgun leader Menachem Begin declared in a film clip from the Israel Broadcasting Authority's "Scroll of Fire" series.

"We must use terror," Israel's first prime minister David Ben Gurion (on left) told the General Staff in 1948.  Ben Gurion (a.k.a. David Grün), the Polish-born leader of the Haganah, authorized the terror bombing of the King David Hotel.  Ben Gurion, who developed Zionist terrorism as a tool to coerce the Palestinians and the West, meets with his junior partners in terror, Shimon Peres and Moshe Dayan.

NETANYAHU'S SUPPORT FOR TERRORISTS

Members of the Irgun, which carried out scores of terror bombings in the 1930s and 40s (and its political successors in the Likud party) hold the world view that "political violence and terrorism" are "legitimate tools in the Jewish national struggle for the Land of Israel," according to Arie Perliger and Leonard Weinberg, authors of "Jewish Self Defense and Terrorist Groups Prior to the Establishment of the State of Israel: Roots and Traditions."

In July 2006, the former prime minister and leader of the Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu, attended a two-day 60th anniversary celebration of the King David Hotel bombing with former terrorists of the Irgun and Haganah.  The event was organized by the Menachem Begin Heritage House, the University of Haifa, and the Association of IZL [Irgun] Fighters.  The seminar was held "to mark the 60th anniversary of the bombing of the King David Hotel, Jerusalem, by members of the United Resistance Movement (Haganah and Irgun)," the Jerusalem Post noted in its pre-event notices. The Israeli newspaper specifically noted that members of the Haganah and Irgun had been involved in the terrorist bombing.

One of the terrorists even led a tour of the hotel he had bombed. The fact that the American-educated right-wing politician and terror specialist, "Bibi" Netanyahu, had participated in a two-day event celebrating the bombing of the King David Hotel was reported in the Jerusalem Post, and in leading newspapers in Britain, France, and India – but not a single word about the event was printed in the controlled press of the United States, the nation supposedly fighting a "War on Terror."

"It's very good," said Benjamin Netanyahu on 9-11 about the attacks which were thought to have killed more than 10,000 Americans.

Netanyahu's conspicuous role as the main speaker at an event celebrating an act of terrorism was not reported in any U.S. newspaper until Patrick Buchanan mentioned it in his article entitled "Moral Culpability for Qana," on August 2, 2006.  Buchanan's comments, however, appeared only in independent regional newspapers in Pittsburgh, Wyoming, and Ohio:

Rubbing our noses in our own cravenness, "Bibi" Netanyahu took time out a week ago to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the terror attack on the King David Hotel by Menachem Begin's Irgun, an attack that killed 92 people, among them British nurses. This was not a terrorist act, Bibi explained, because Irgun telephoned a 15-minute warning to the hotel before the bombs went off.

Right. And those children in Qana should not have ignored Israeli leaflets warning them to clear out of southern Lebanon.

Our Israeli friends appear to be playing us for fools.

"TERRORISTS IN DISGUISE"
 
In 1946, The Times (U.K.) described the Irgun as "terrorists in disguise."  Sarah Agassi, 80, was one of the "terrorists in disguise" involved in the bombing of the King David Hotel, it reported.  She and a fellow agent had cased out the hotel. Her brother and other terrorists had disguised themselves as Arabs delivering milk and brought seven milk cans, each containing 50 kg. (110 lbs.) of explosives, into the basement of the hotel.

There were important strategic reasons for the bombing, according to the Jerusalem Post of July 27, 2006:

The bombing was a direct response to the events of the British Operation Agatha and the Black Sabbath of June 29, 1946, during which 17,000 British soldiers confiscated weapons and intelligence documents and arrested thousands of leaders of the Yishuv and Hagana activists.

The documents, brought to the King David headquarters, revealed most of the Yishuv's operational plans and incriminated the Jewish Agency in the leadership of the United Resistance, as well as the IZL and the Lehi, against the British.

The evidence would be used to try the Jewish activists and, quite possibly, to hang them.

Twenty-five fighters took part in the carefully-planned and precisely executed bombing. Six of them, dressed as Arab laborers, placed the seven milk cans filled with 350 kg. of explosives, fitted with timers set to go off in 40 minutes, around the central support beam of the hotel's southern wing. Others spread explosives along the roads leading to the hotel to prevent reinforcements and emergency medical crews from arriving at the scene.

NETANYAHU'S TERRORIST ROOTS

Netanyahu is the son of Ben Zion Netanyahu (born Mileikowsky in Warsaw, Poland). Ben Zion was the former senior aide of Vladimir "Ze'ev" Jabotinsky, the militant extremist founder of Revisionist Zionism and the Irgun.  His son, Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu is also a leading advocate of the teachings of Jabotinsky.  On July 8, 2007, Netanyahu was the keynote speaker at an event at the Jabotinsky Institute to mark the 67th anniversary of the death of the founder of the Irgun.

The Irgun, a Zionist terrorist organization dedicated to creating Greater Israel, is the political parent of Israel's extreme right-wing Likud party, which Benjamin Netanyahu currently heads.  The Irgun was the "armed expression" of Revisionist Zionism, which was expressed by Jabotinsky as follows, according to Howard M. Sachar, author of A History of Israel from the Rise of Zionism to Our Time:

1.    Every Jew has the right to enter Palestine;

2.    Only active retaliation [i.e. terrorism] would deter the Arabs and the British;

3.    Only Jewish armed force would ensure the Jewish state.

TERRORISM SPECIALIST

Netanyahu is also a terrorism specialist who has made a career out of promoting the Zionist agenda of a global "War on Terror" since the early 1980s.

On September 11, 2001, the New York Times asked Netanyahu what he thought of the attacks:  "It's very good," Netanyahu said.  Who else, but a hardened terrorist involved in the crime, would use the word "good" to describe 9-11?

As James Bennet of the New York Times reported on September 12, 2001:

Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied, "It's very good." Then he edited himself: "Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy."

In 2006, the Jerusalem Post and other newspapers reported on Netanyahu's outspoken support for the terrorists who had bombed the King David Hotel in 1946.  The Irgun's chief of operations at the time of the bombing was Eitan Livni, the father of the Israeli Foreign Minister "Tzipi" Livni (2006-09).  The high-level political connections in Israel with the Irgun terrorists of the 1940s are an indication of the degree of terrorist influence on the Israeli political establishment, The Hindu [India] wisely noted in an article entitled "Celebrating Terror, Israeli-style" on July 24, 2006:

"We do not think that it is right for an act of terrorism, which led to the loss of many lives, to be commemorated," Britain's Ambassador to Israel, Simon McDonald, and its consul-general in Jerusalem, John Jenkins, protested weakly in a letter to the local Israeli administration in Jerusalem.

PREVIOUS ISRAELI ATTACKS ON U.S. TARGETS

Eight years after the bombing of the King David Hotel, the State of Israel carried out a series of false-flag terror bombings against U.S. and British libraries, theatres, and other government institutions in Egypt in a terror campaign designed to be blamed on Egyptian groups.  This Israeli terror campaign of July 1954 is often referred to as the "Lavon Affair" after Pinhas Lavon, the Israeli defense minister at the time.

In June 1967, thirteen years after the Lavon Affair, the Israeli air force and navy deliberately strafed, bombed, napalmed, and torpedoed an unarmed U.S. vessel, the USS Liberty, and tried to kill all of the nearly three hundred crew members, simply to achieve a strategic war-time goal.  Recently released documents from the National Security Agency (NSA) confirm that the United States government at the time had evidence that the Israelis had deliberately attacked the USS Liberty knowing it was a U.S. vessel.  Oliver Kirby, the NSA's deputy director for operations at the time of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, confirmed the existence of the transcripts to John Crewdson of the Chicago Tribune, saying he had personally read them:

Asked whether he had personally read such transcripts, Kirby replied, "I sure did. I certainly did."

"They said, 'We've got him in the zero,'" Kirby recalled, "whatever that meant -- I guess the sights or something. And then one of them said, 'Can you see the flag?'

They said 'Yes, it's U.S, it's U.S.' They said it several times, so there wasn't any doubt in anybody's mind that they knew it."

Kirby, now 86 and retired in Texas, said the transcripts were "something that's bothered me all my life. I'm willing to swear on a stack of Bibles that we knew they knew."

MORDECHAI FEIN (a.k.a. MOTI HOD)

The Israeli planes involved in the attack reported directly to the commander of the air force, Major General Mordechai Hod.  Hod (a.k.a. Mordechai Fein or "Moti" Hod) was the Commander of the Israeli Air Force during the 1967 Six-Day War. Hod was from Kibbutz Degania, like Moshe Dayan, the defense minister he served under.

Major General Mordechai "Moti" Hod, IAF Commander (1966-1973)

Hod left the military in 1975 and created CAL, an Israel air cargo company. Oddly, after only two years he left the company he started and became chief executive of El Al airlines from 1977 to 1979.  In 1985, he founded an un-named security company, according to his obituary in the Guardian (UK) from June 2003. From 1987 until retirement in 1993, he was the chairman of Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI).

ICTS, the Israeli airport passenger screening and security firm, is a key defendant in the 9-11 litigation. The ICTS website says this about the company:  "ICTS International N.V. was founded in 1982 by a select group of security experts, former military commanding officers and veterans of government intelligence and security agencies."

An employee of ICTS told me in 2001 that Huntleigh USA, their wholly owned airport security subsidiary, had handled passenger screening at Boston and Newark airports on 9-11.  As a matter of fact, the Mossad-owned company probably had people at every airport involved in any way on 9-11.  The ICTS company website says as much:  "In 1998, ICTS International N.V. made a strategic decision to focus on the US market. The following year, it acquired Huntleigh USA Corp., which provides airline passenger screening services at 47 US airports, including all the international aviation gateways in the USA."

The ICTS company developed out of El Al (the Israeli-state airlines) security.  The Israeli airline security firm went through a number of name changes as it began providing "security" to European and American airports.

Moshe Dayan, defense minister during the Six-Day War, was a close associate and political ally of Shimon Peres. In 1965, former prime minister Ben Gurion and his closest followers, including Shimon Peres and Moshe Dayan, broke away from the ruling labor party, Mapai, and formed a separate minority faction, the Rafi or Workers' List.

COVER-UP

The U.S. government, military, and media all went along with the cover-up of the deliberate attack on the USS Liberty to avoid blaming Israel for the murder of 34 American servicemen, 26 of whom died from the torpedo blast, and the wounding of some 173 others. Shimon Peres, the Israeli president, certainly knows who made the decision to attack the U.S. vessel in 1967.

The Main Battle Dressing Station on the USS Liberty was described as a “bloody scene reminiscent of the American Civil War.”   The Israeli torpedo and machine guns took a terrible toll on the Liberty’s crew, killing 34 and wounding 172.

The Crewdson article reveals that the Israelis knew very well that the USS Liberty was an American vessel in international waters – before they fired the torpedo that killed twenty-six U.S. servicemen in one fell swoop:

Twenty minutes later, after the Liberty had been hit repeatedly by machine guns, 30 mm cannon and napalm from the Israelis' French-built Mirage and Mystere fighter-bombers, the controller directing the attack asked his chief in Tel Aviv to which country the target vessel belonged.

"Apparently American," the chief controller replied.

Fourteen minutes later the Liberty was struck amidships by a torpedo from an Israeli boat, killing 26 of the 100 or so NSA technicians and specialists in Russian and Arabic who were working in restricted compartments below the ship's waterline.

The Israeli torpedo killed 26 U.S. servicemen and left a hole 39 feet across.

"SINK THE TARGET – NO SURVIVORS"

Lt. James M. Ennes, Jr., an officer on the bridge of the USS Liberty, wrote his first-hand account of the Israeli attack in a 1979 book entitled Assault on the Liberty. Lieutenant Ennes' book is documentary evidence that the Israeli attack was deliberate and not an accident of war.  Ennes describes how Israeli torpedo boats repeatedly machine-gunned Liberty sailors fighting the napalm fires on deck and shot her life rafts in the water while an oversize U.S. flag flew from its mast.

The shooting of the life rafts indicates that the Israelis did not want anyone to survive the assault and intended sinking of the U.S. vessel.  Steve Forslund, an intelligence analyst for the 544th Air Reconnaissance Technical Wing in 1967, saw the transcripts from the Israeli pilots and their ground control as they came off the teletype machine at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha.

"The ground control station stated that the target was American and for the aircraft to confirm it," Forslund recalled. "The aircraft did confirm the identity of the target as American, by the American flag.  The ground control station ordered the aircraft to attack and sink the target and ensure they left no survivors."  Forslund said he clearly recalled "the obvious frustration of the controller over the inability of the pilots to sink the target quickly and completely."

"He kept insisting the mission had to sink the target, and was frustrated with the pilots' responses that it didn't sink."

Chief Petty Officer Stanley W. White, president of the Liberty Veterans Association, said, "The Israeli planes and gunboats spent more than one hour hitting us with rockets, napalm bombs, torpedoes, cannon and machine-gun fire. They machine-gunned our firefighters on deck and they shot our life rafts out of the water…I don't know of a single member of our association who believes that attack was an accident."

There are three reasons that have been given as to why the Israelis wanted to sink the U.S. electronic reconnaissance vessel:

1.    To prevent the U.S. from knowing that Israel was planning to seize the Golan Heights from Syria;

2.    To prevent the U.S. from obtaining evidence that Israeli troops were slaughtering some 1,000 Egyptian prisoners of war near Gaza;

3.    To destroy the U.S. vessel that was capable of discerning that Israel was sending false communications to Jordan and Egypt to keep them in the war until the Israeli military achieved its territorial goals on the ground.

"U.S. intelligence documents indicate the Israelis attacked the Liberty deliberately. They feared she would monitor their plans to attack the Golan Heights in Syria - a move the United States opposed for fear of provoking Soviet military intervention," James Ennes said.

Wilber Crane Eveland, an author formerly with the CIA in the Middle East, wrote that the Liberty had intercepted messages that "made it clear that Israel had never intended to limit its attack to Egypt."

ISRAELI MASSACRE OF EGYPTIAN POWS

The Tribune article reported that the NSA's deputy director at the time, Louis Tordella, speculated in a recently declassified memo that the attack "might have been ordered by some senior commander on the Sinai Peninsula who wrongly suspected that the Liberty was monitoring his activities."  The activities that needed to be hidden included the slaughter of some 1,000 Egyptian POWs.

Aryeh Yitzhaki of Bar Ilan University, who had worked in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) history department, said in an August 1995 interview with Israel Radio that a reconnaissance unit, known as Shaked (Almond), headed by Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, had killed hundreds of Egyptians who had abandoned their weapons and fled into the desert during the 1967 war.

Yitzhaki said he had investigated six or seven separate incidents, in which approximately 1,000 unarmed Egyptian prisoners of war had been killed by IDF units.

THE BOMBING OF THE U.S. MARINE BARRACKS - BEIRUT 1983

Sixteen years later, 241 U.S. Marines died when a Mercedes truck packed with explosives demolished their barracks at Beirut International Airport on October 23, 1983. A similar explosion occurred nearly simultaneously at the French military barracks a few kilometers away, killing 56 French troops.

In the wake of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, President Ronald Reagan sent 1,800 marines to Beirut to act as "peace keepers." Ariel Sharon and the Israeli leadership, however, resented the interference and used the U.S. presence to commit a false-flag operation that killed 241 marines, according to Victor Ostrovsky in his book on the Mossad, By Way of Deception.

Ostrovsky, a former Mossad officer, reported that Nahum Admoni, the Mossad director at the time, had very specific information about the truck being prepared for the attack on the U.S. Marines, but had intentionally withheld this crucial information from the U.S. military.  "No, we're not there to protect Americans. They're a big country. Send only the regular information," Admoni reportedly said.

Admoni, the son of Polish immigrants, was director of the Mossad from 1982 to 1989. In 1947-48, Admoni had served in the Shai, the Haganah intelligence branch headed by Isser Harel, and later in the newly created IDF Intelligence, Aman. After the 1948 war, Admoni studied at the University of California, Berkeley, until 1954.

The purpose of the false flag terror bombings in Lebanon was to create U.S. animosity toward the Arab world and align the U.S. with Israel, according to Ostrovsky. There had been an earlier car bomb at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut on April 18, 1983, which had killed seventeen Marines.  The bombing compelled the Marines to move offshore and President Reagan ordered them to be withdrawn from Lebanon on February 7, 1984.

The Beirut bombing was the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima.  Israeli intelligence is suspected of having been involved in the bombings in Lebanon.

"WAR ON TERROR"
 
The ultimate goal of creating U.S. animosity toward the Arab world is the Zionist mega-fraud known as the "War on Terror." With its U.S.-led invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, the "War on Terror" is the realization of an important strategic goal for Israeli military planners.

To have the armies of the U.S. and European nations occupying Iraq, the most powerful and advanced Arab nation, has always been the dream of Zionist strategic planners. Benjamin Netanyahu, for example, has explicitly called for such a global "War on Terror" since the early 1980s.

Although it is never mentioned as such in the controlled press, it needs to be understood that the "War on Terror" with its pre-planned invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, constitutes a war of aggression.  To prepare for and carry out a war of aggression is a serious war crime, i.e. a Crime against Peace under the Nuremberg Principles of 1950.  The United States and its allies convicted and literally strangled to death dozens of senior Nazis at the Nuremberg trials for having committed such war crimes.

In the aftermath of 9-11, the U.S. government failed to prove that the terror attacks had been planned, sponsored, or executed by members of the ruling Taliban regime prior to invading Afghanistan.  Years after invading that nation, the U.S. government has yet to prove that any link existed between the Taliban regime and 9-11.

On June 5, 2006, author Ed Haas contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters to ask why, while claiming that Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 1998 bombings of US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, the "most wanted" poster does not indicate that Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the events of 9-11.  Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI responded, “The reason why 9-11 is not mentioned on Osama bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9-11.” Tomb continued, “Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9-11.”

Likewise, there is no evidence of involvement in 9-11 by any member of the regime of the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.  Furthermore, allegations that the Iraqi regime had obtained weapons of mass destruction, trumpeted by senior officials of the Bush administration and Judith Miller of the New York Times, turned out to be lies crafted solely for the purpose of deceiving the public and provoking another illegal invasion.  The passage of time does not make a war of aggression and occupation any less illegal. 

DECADES OF PLANNING

There are key people involved in the 1954 Israeli terror bombings of the U.S. Information Agency libraries in Alexandria and Cairo who held high-level positions in the Israeli government of 2001.  There are other Israelis, with long histories of terrorism and strategic planning, who revealed having very specific prior knowledge of 9-11 long before 2001.

The highest Israeli intelligence official at the time of the Lavon Affair, Isser Harel, was evidently aware of the long-term planning of 9-11 -- more than twenty years before it happened.  In 1980, twenty-one years before September 11, 2001, Isser Harel, the former director of Haganah intelligence, the Shin Bet (internal) and the Mossad (foreign) intelligence services, predicted with uncanny accuracy the events of 9-11 to Michael D. Evans, an American supporter of Zionist extremists of the Jabotinsky sort. 

On September 23, 1980, Evans visited Harel at his home in Israel and had dinner with him and Dr. Reuven Hecht, a senior adviser to then prime minister Menachem Begin. 

Isser Harel, Israeli spymaster and master terrorist, discussed his knowledge of the plan to bomb the WTC -- in 1980.

"AMERICA THE TARGET"

In an editorial entitled "America the Target," published in the Jerusalem Post of September 30, 2001, Evans related what Harel had told him:

I sat with former Mossad chief Isser Harel for a conversation about Arab terrorism. As he handed me a cup of hot tea and a plate of cookies, I asked him, "Do you think terrorism will come to America, and if so, where and why?"

Harel looked at his American visitor and replied, "I fear it will come to you in America. America has the power, but not the will, to fight terrorism. The terrorists have the will, but not the power, to fight America - but all that could change with time. Arab oil money buys more than tents."

As to the where, Harel continued, "New York City is the symbol of freedom and capitalism. It's likely they will strike the Empire State Building, your tallest building [he mistakenly thought] and a symbol of your power."

In another article, entitled "Jimmy Carter: Radical Islam's Ally," Evans related the same story about Harel:

My last question was would terrorism ever come to America. “You have the power to fight it,” he said, “but not the will. They have the will, but not the power. All of that will change in time. Yes, I fear it will come to New York and your tallest building, which is a symbol of your fertility.”

Michael D. Evans is a Zionist Jew who portrays himself as a Christian.  Here Evans meets with Menachem Begin, the former terrorist head of the Irgun who ordered the bombing of the King David Hotel.  Evans was told by Isser Harel of the Israeli plan to bomb the World Trade Center in 1980, about the time of this photo.

In 2004, Evans published a book entitled The American Prophecies, Terrorism and Mid-East Conflict Reveal a Nation’s Destiny.  In a subsequent interview, published under the title "Is America in Bible Prophecy?" with Deborah Caldwell, Evans explains what Harel meant about fertility symbols:

Caldwell: So extrapolating from the scenarios of the Bible, what do you believe is our nation's future, based on prophecy?

Evans: The story of prophecy that has to do with the Jews goes all the way through to the end of the Book of Revelation. Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24. The disciples said, "What shall be the signs of the coming of the end of the age?" And he said, "The first sign would be deception." Now, there's never been greater deception then what happened on September 11, 2001.

Caldwell: Why do you say that America's story is contained within biblical prophecies?

Evans:  America stepped into the eye of a prophetic storm when it took covenant with both Ishmael and Isaac, the sons of Abraham, the Arab and the Jew…Most of the Bible talks about this battle between these two brothers, and we're right in the middle of that.

On Sept. 23, 1979, the founder of Israeli intelligence over dinner told me that America was developing a tolerance for terror. The gentleman's name was Isser Harel, the founder of Mossad Israeli intelligence -- he ran it from 1947 to 1963.

He told me that America had developed an alliance between two countries, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and that the alliance with Saudi Arabia was dangerous and would develop a tolerance for terror among Americans. He said if the tolerance continued that Islamic fundamentalists would ultimately strike America.

I said "Where?"

He said, "In Islamic theology, the phallic symbol is very important. Your biggest phallic symbol is New York City and your tallest building will be the phallic symbol they will hit." Isser Harel prophesied that the tallest building in New York would be the first building hit by Islamic fundamentalists 21 years ago.

Perlis, the former President of the Playboy Publishing Group.

Think about this for a minute. The founder of Israeli intelligence tells an American Zionist in 1980 that Arab terrorism will come to America and that the terrorists will strike the tallest building in New York City. His bizarre prediction, which makes no sense, then comes to pass thirteen years later with a hapless and thoroughly fake attack in 1993, evidently set up by the FBI.  The FBI-coordinated false-flag terror event is followed, eight years later, by a spectacular, well-planned, and extremely lethal attack which kills thousands.  How did Isser Harel know what the Arab terrorists had planned more than two decades before 9-11?

ISSER HAREL – MOSSAD'S MASTER TERRORIST

Under David Ben Gurion, Isser Harel was the former chief of Haganah intelligence (Shai) from 1944, the Shin Bet from 1948, and the Mossad until 1963. Admoni, the Mossad director who refused to warn the U.S. Marines in 1983, had served under Harel.  Given his unique position and penchant for terrorism as a means of coercion, the uncanny accuracy of Harel's prediction says more about the years of Israeli planning that went into 9-11 than it does about any criminal plots of alleged Arab origin.

After nearly two decades as the head of Israeli intelligence, Ben Gurion reportedly asked Harel to resign in 1963 because of his use of terrorism bombings as a means of coercion against the West.  Harel, as director of the Mossad, had initiated "The Damocles Operation" of the early 1960s, which was a terror bombing campaign to threaten German scientists to prevent them from helping Egypt develop its defense systems.

Isser Harel, head of Israeli intelligence in 1961

Two Mossad agents were arrested and jailed in Switzerland for using terror bombs against German scientists. The wife of one scientist was killed in a mysterious explosion, a second scientist disappeared, and the secretary of a third scientist was blinded and mutilated by a mail bomb in Cairo.  As Ian Black and Benny Morris, authors of Israel's Secret Wars: A History of Israel's Intelligence Services, wrote:

Dr. Heinz Krug, director of a Munich-based Egyptian front company called Intra, had disappeared mysteriously and was presumed murdered in September 1962.

On 7 October Harel [Isser Harel, Mossad head] left for Europe 'to personally supervise authorized operations and the special collection programme.'

In November, Aman [IDF intelligence] sent several letter bombs to the rocket installations in Egypt and one of them, a large parcel that had been mailed by sea from Hamburg, killed five Egyptians. Someone with a black sense of humour dubbed the campaign 'post mortem.'

It is interesting to note that Yosef Goell, a columnist with the Jerusalem Post, published an editorial entitled "Isser Harel and the German Scientists" on February 22, 1991, in which Israel's English-language newspaper delivered a thinly-veiled threat of Harel-type terrorism to European scientists and companies doing business with Arab nations:

The directors and managers of those firms and the experts who work for them should be reminded that they are playing with their lives and the welfare of their families. It would be well if they went back and studied the episode of Isser Harel and the German scientists in Nasser's missile program of the 1960s.

THE LAVON AFFAIR

The Lavon Affair, or "the shameful affair" (Esek Habish) as it is known in Hebrew, was an Israeli false-flag terror bombing campaign against the United States and Britain that was carried out in Egypt in 1954.  Israeli military intelligence had set up a terror cell of sleeper agents in Egypt, which was activated in July 1954 to blow up U.S. and British targets.  The Israeli operation was code-named "Susannah." The false-flag terrorist bombings were meant to be blamed on Egyptians in order to alienate the U.S. and Britain from President Gamal Abdul Nasser and prevent Egypt from nationalizing the Suez Canal.

The Lavon Affair is seldom discussed in the media or in university courses on Middle Eastern history.  Strict censorship in the Israeli media even prevented the Israeli public from knowing about the affair for many years.  Only in 2005, fifty-one years after the bombings, did Israel finally admit responsibility for its 1954 false-flag terrorist bombing campaign in Egypt.  The false-flag terror bombings were carried out between July 2 and July 27, 1954 by a covert terror cell composed of about one dozen Egyptian Jews under the command of Israeli intelligence agents.

The Israeli-run terror cell was discovered and broken up on July 27, 1954, when one of its members was caught in Alexandria after the bomb he was carrying exploded.  An Israeli terrorist cell, Unit 131, was reportedly responsible for the terror bombings.  At the time of the incident, Unit 131 is said to have been the subject of a dispute between Aman and Mossad over who controlled it.  How convenient.

The Egyptian operatives had been recruited several years before, when an Israeli intelligence officer named Avram Dar went to Cairo posing as John Darling, a British citizen from Gibraltar. Dar recruited Egyptian Jews, who had helped the Mossad with illegal emigration to Israel, and trained them for covert operations.  The Israeli terror cell went to work in the summer of 1954. On July 2, a post office in Alexandria was firebombed.  On July 14, the U.S. Information Agency libraries in Alexandria and Cairo and a British theater were bombed. The bombs contained nitroglycerine and were placed on the shelves of the libraries.  After the terrorist cell was discovered, three of the Israeli terrorist commanders succeeded in fleeing Egypt and the fourth committed suicide.  After the trial in Cairo, two of the accused Egyptian Jews were condemned to death and executed, and eight were condemned to long terms of imprisonment.

MOSHE SHARETT

The Israeli prime minister and foreign minister at the time, Moshe Sharett, was evidently unaware of the intrigue, which had apparently been carried out by disciples of David Ben Gurion, namely Isser Harel, Moshe Dayan, and Shimon Peres.

Sharett (born Shertok in Cherson, Ukraine) was Israel's first foreign minister (May 15, 1948 – June 18, 1956) and second prime minister (Dec. 7, 1953 – Nov. 2, 1955). Sharett held both positions at the time of the Israeli terror campaign.  Sharett, who appears to have known nothing about the terror ring, only became informed of the facts afterwards.

In October 1953, shortly before Ben Gurion took a two-year hiatus in the Negev Desert leaving Sharett in charge, he appointed Pinhas Lavon, a staunch supporter of the "retaliation" [i.e. terrorism] policy, as minister of defense, and nominated Moshe Dayan as chief of staff of the armed forces.  When Sharett was told of Ben Gurion's decision to nominate Dayan as chief of staff, he penned this note in his diary:  "The new chief of staff's immense capacity for plotting and intrigue-making will yield many complications."

LAVON - TERRORIZE THE WEST

Pinhas Lavon, Israel's minister of defense at the time of the terror bombings, was part of a group of military leaders who advocated the use of terrorism against the Western nations, particularly Britain and the United States.  This group included the Polish-born immigrants David Ben Gurion and Shimon Peres (Szymon Persky), and Moshe Dayan, the kibbutznik son of Ukrainian immigrants.

In January 1955, Sharett wrote about Lavon to Aharon Barkatt, secretary general of the Mapai party:

He [Lavon] inspired and cultivated the negative adventuristic trend in the army and preached the doctrine that not the Arab countries but the Western Powers are the enemy, and the only way to deter them from their plots is through direct actions that will terrorize them.

When the Israeli terrorist plot against Britain and the U.S. was exposed, Ben Gurion blamed Lavon, who, in turn, blamed Col. Benjamin Givli, another Ben Gurion protégé and the head of Aman, Israeli military intelligence.  Lavon said that Givli had organized the covert operation behind his back.

SHARETT & ISRAEL'S TERRORISM

Prime Minister Sharett, however, had "no doubts about the guilt of the Dayan-Peres-Givli clique," according to the late Israeli historian Livia Rokach, the daughter of Israel Rokach, the former mayor of Tel Aviv and minister of internal affairs in the Sharett government:

For him [Sharett], the question of who gave the order was secondary to the necessity of pronouncing a judgment on the ideology and politics of Israel's terrorism. Therefore, while he had no doubts about the guilt of the Dayan-Peres-Givli clique; to him Lavon's political responsibility was also inescapable.

As Sharett wrote about Lavon on January 10, 1955:

[People] ask me if I am convinced that "he gave the order?"… but let us assume that Givli has acted without instructions… doesn't the moral responsibility lie all the same on Lavon, who has constantly preached for acts of madness and taught the army leadership the diabolic lesson of how to set the Middle East on fire, how to cause friction, cause bloody confrontations, sabotage targets and property of the Powers [and perform] acts of despair and suicide?"

As a "moderate Zionist," Sharett believed that Israel's survival would be impossible without the support of the West, Rokach wrote, but that Western "morality" and interests in the Middle East would not support a Jewish state which "behaves according to the laws of the jungle" and "raises terrorism to the level of a sacred principle."

SHIMON PERES: "FRIGHTEN THE WEST"

In May 1947, Ben Gurion drafted Shimon Peres into the Haganah high command, where he was initially put in charge of manpower and later became involved in arms procurement and production.  Peres served as chief of the naval department in 1948 and was sent to the United States in 1950 on an arms procurement mission.  Peres was instrumental in acquiring weapons for the Haganah and establishing the Israeli defense industries, especially the aircraft and avionics industries, according to his biography.  He is also known as the godfather of the Israel's high-tech defense industries and illegal nuclear arsenal.

Peres built an alliance with France that secured a source of arms, and was responsible for the program to develop nuclear weapons for Israel, convincing the French to help Israel build a secret nuclear reactor at Dimona in the Negev Desert in 1957.  It was Peres who acquired the French advanced Dassault Mirage III jet fighters that the Israeli air force used to attack the USS Liberty in 1967.

About Shimon Peres, whom Sharett considered to be one of the key planners of the terror bombing campaign of U.S. institutions in Egypt, he wrote this note in 1955:  "Peres shares the same ideology [as Lavon]: he wants to frighten the West into supporting Israel's aims."

Two years later, in 1957, Sharett wrote even more critically about Peres: 

I have stated that I totally and utterly reject Peres and consider his rise to prominence a malignant, immoral disgrace. I will rend my clothes in mourning for the State if I see him become a minister in the Israeli government.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, and Shimon Peres – the senior architects of Israeli terrorism

Sharett's terrorism and violence-prone adversaries: Ben Gurion, Dayan, and Peres, however, prevailed and dealt "a crushing blow" to "the very hypothesis of moderate Zionism," Rokach concluded: 

In the final analysis the West, and in particular the U.S., let itself be frightened, or blackmailed, into supporting Israel's megalomaniac ambitions, because an objective relationship of complicity already existed and because once pushed into the open this complicity proved capable of serving the cause of Western power politics in the region. 

The immense profits that have flowed into the coffers of Western drug and oil cartels as a consequence of the Anglo-American control over the opium production of occupied-Afghanistan and the oil of occupied-Iraq amply illustrate Rokach's point that Israeli false-flag terror is "capable of serving the cause of Western power politics in the region."

As Rokach concluded in her study of Sharett's diary and documents:

Just as Zionism, based on the de-Palestinization and the Judaisation of Palestine, was intrinsically racist and immoral, thus the West, in reality, had no use for a Jewish state in the Middle East which did not behave according to the laws of the jungle, and whose terrorism could not be relied on as a major instrument for the oppression of the peoples of the region.

By April 1957, Sharett realized that the hard-line terrorist faction headed by Ben Gurion and his protégés Dayan and Peres had won – and that he, and his vision of moderate Zionism, had lost:

I go on repeating to myself nowadays, "Admit that you are the loser!" They showed much more daring and dynamism…they played with fire, and they won…The public, even your own public, does not share your position. On the contrary…the public now turns even against its "masters" and its bitterness against the retreat [from Sinai and Gaza] is developing into a tendency to change the political balance in this country in favor of [the former Irgun terrorist leader Menachem] Begin.

"His [Sharett's] defeat in internal Israeli politics reflected the ascendancy of the positions of Ben Gurion, Dayan and others [Peres] who were not reluctant to use force to attain their goals," Noam Chomsky wrote in his forward to Rokach's book: 

His diaries give a very revealing picture of the developing conflict, as he perceived it, and offer an illuminating insight into the early history of the state of Israel, with ramifications that reach to the present, and beyond.

9-11 and the "War on Terror" are clearly two "ramifications" of the victory of the terrorist Zionists that "reach to the present."

Had Moshe Sharett, the Israeli prime minister, "spoken frankly and directly to public opinion" and torn up "the mask of secrecy" surrounding the Israeli terror bombings, he could have changed the history of the Middle East, Rokach wrote:

At this point, Sharett could have changed the history of the Middle East had he spoken frankly and directly to public opinion, which was deeply troubled by the events in Egypt: the arrests, the trial, the executions, the contradicting rumors, the climate of intrigue surrounding the "Affair." [By] tearing up the mask of secrecy, denouncing those who were responsible, exposing his true convictions in regard to Israel's terroristic ideologies and orientations, [and] proposing an alternative, he could have created for himself the conditions in which to use the formal powers that he possessed to make a radical housecleaning in the security establishment. The impact of such an act would have probably been considerable not only in Israel itself but also in the Arab world, especially in Egypt. The downfall of Lavon on one hand and of the Ben Gurionist gang, headed by Dayan and Peres, on the other hand might have blocked Ben Gurion's return to power, and in the longer range, the Sinai-Suez war. Events since then would have taken a different course.

Unfortunately, "the Ben Gurionist gang, headed by Dayan and Peres" came to power.  Peres, who had served in high-level appointed positions, was elected to the Knesset in the 1959 elections.  Peres, the former Director General of the Ministry of Defense under Moshe Dayan, then became the Deputy Defense Minister, a position he held until 1965 when he was implicated, with Dayan, in the Lavon affair.

On June 5, 1967, Israel started the Six-Day War when it launched a pre-emptive attack against Egypt and its air force. Yitzhak Rabin was chief of staff and Moshe Dayan was minister of defense during this crucial war that reshaped the Middle East.

Ben Gurion and his gang of Dayan and Peres formed a new party in 1965, Rafi, partly due to their involvement in the Lavon Affair. Dayan and Peres had worked closely together since their days in the Haganah.

SHIMON PERES:  TERRORIST-IN-CHIEF

Shimon Peres, a most unsuitable recipient of the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize, has a long history of terrorism, which is evidently not well known in the West.  Peres, the octogenarian president of the State of Israel, has a documented record of involvement in terrorist crimes over a period of more than five decades.

Condoleezza Rice visits Shimon Peres, September 2007

Peres is a survivor of the struggle among Zionists between the militant hard-liners, who promoted the use of violence and terrorism, versus the softer "moderates," who opposed terrorism and advocated the use of diplomacy.  Shimon Peres is a hard-liner.  Born Szymon Persky in Wiszniew, Poland, on August 2, 1923, Peres is the first cousin of Lauren Bacall, the Brooklyn-born Betty Joan Persky.  This relationship between the veteran hard-line Zionist and a Hollywood movie star is a good example of how Zionist Jewish families from the Pale of Settlement often established branches in Israel and the United States in the early 1900s.

In 1947, the Polish-born Zionist leader David Ben Gurion (born David Grün) met Shimon Peres, then age twenty-three, at Haganah headquarters and made him responsible for manpower and arms purchases for the underground Zionist militia Ben Gurion commanded in Palestine.

Ben Gurion and Shimon Peres (on left), 1969

Peres became a protégé of Ben Gurion. After the bombing of the King David Hotel and other terror killings by the Haganah and other Zionist terror gangs, the British withdrew from Palestine. The armed gangs of Zionist immigrants and veterans of the Red Army then turned their terrorist skills, which some had gained during World War II, against the indigenous population of Palestine.  Nearly 400 Palestinian towns and villages were completely obliterated or "ethnically cleansed" during the 1947-48 Zionist conquest of Palestine.

Peres was also the chief of the Israeli navy, whose main task at the time was the illegal smuggling of men and arms for the Zionist forces in Palestine.  When the war of 1947-1948 ended, Peres "assumed the position of Director of the Defense Ministry's procurement delegation in the United States," according to his biography.  As director of arms procurement in the United States, Peres was responsible for organizing illegal arms smuggling.  Transfers of weapons and planes to Zionist forces violated the U.S. Neutrality Act.  Much of the Haganah arms smuggling activity was run from an office above the "syndicate-owned" Copacabana Club in New York City, where Peres and Teddy Kollek, the Hungarian-born son of the director of the Rothschild bank in Vienna, worked closely with the "crime syndicate" headed by the leading Jewish gangsters of the time.

After World War II, Kollek had been sent to New York, where he worked as the Haganah representative and head of its weapons purchasing team in New York.  Kollek worked from an office above the Copacabana nightclub in the Haganah's Hotel Fourteen to arm the Zionist forces in British-occupied Palestine.

Also deeply involved in this criminal arms smuggling activities were the American Jews, Adolph "Al" Schwimmer and Hank Greenspun.  Greenspun, the Las Vegas-based publicist for mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, was eventually pardoned for his crimes by President Bill Clinton, a close friend of the Greenspun family.  In 1951, at the request of Ben Gurion, Schwimmer and Peres founded Bedek, the military's aviation firm that became Israel's largest company, Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI).

Adolph W. Schwimmer, Zionist arms smuggler, and Ben Gurion

In 1952, the same year Ben Gurion made Isser Harel the head of the Mossad, he appointed Peres to be Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Defense.  The next year, at the age of twenty-nine, Peres became the youngest ever Director General of the Defense Ministry, a position he held until 1959.  It is interesting to note that Peres never attended university or served in the army, according to Ha'aretz (Israel) of June 14, 2007.

As Director General, Peres was a founder of Israel's military and its subsidiary, Israel Aircraft Industries. Ben Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, put Peres in charge of the establishment of the Israel's unlawful nuclear program and secret reactor at Dimona in the Negev Desert.

Peres has never been very popular with Israeli voters.  Although he served twice as prime minister, he was never elected to that position.  In 2000, he even lost a parliamentary election for the presidency to Moshe Katsav, an Iranian Jewish immigrant.  Peres served as Israel's foreign minister under the Likud right-wing Ariel Sharon from early 2001 until November 2002.  In July 2007, at nearly 84 years of age, Peres finally won the presidency, but only after Katsav was forced to leave office under a storm of allegations of rape and sexual misconduct.

One might wonder why an eighty-four-year-old man would even want to be president.  Is this an example of the maxim, "no rest for the wicked?"  Is Peres still working because he needs to protect the critical secrets about 9-11 and the war agenda it launched?  Oddly, prior to 9-11, Peres, a politician from the left, held the most powerful positions of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister in a government led by a prime minister from the extreme right, Ariel Sharon.  Sharon, reportedly comatose since January 2006, is a well known terrorist, war monger, and war criminal with a long record of committing atrocities in Palestine and Lebanon.  Peres held these highest level positions in the Israeli government from March 3, 2001 until November 2, 2002.

Peres, godfather and chief architect of Israel's high tech military and unlawful nuclear arsenal, is a person who has always supported the use of terror to coerce the West to support Israel's strategic goals.  He has been involved, at the highest level, in numerous covert false-flag terrorist operations, such as the Lavon Affair, which was even kept secret from the Israeli prime minister at the time.

Ariel Sharon and Shimon Peres, who both have long histories of terrorism, headed the Israeli government in 2001-2002

Did Peres use his senior position in a government of like-minded war-mongering terrorists to launch the false-flag terror attacks of 9-11 in order to coerce the United States and the West into the Zionist planned "War on Terror?"

Shimon Peres has the credentials of a Zionist arch-terrorist.  Furthermore, he has the record, the worldview, and the capability to be an architectural level planner of 9-11.  Is Peres one of the masterminds behind the terrorist crime of the century?  Were Isser Harel and Mordechai Hod also involved in the planning of 9-11?

To determine the identity of the architectural level planners of 9-11 we will need a better understanding of how the terrorist attacks were carried out during and within the context of U.S. and international military anti-terrorist exercises and drills that included the exact scenario of a passenger plane crashing into a military building near the Pentagon.

Chapter IV

The Terror Drills That Became Real: 
9-11, the London Bombings & the Sinking of Estonia

The easiest way to carry out a false flag attack is by setting up a military exercise that simulates the very attack you want to carry out.
- Captain Eric H. May, former U.S. Army military intelligence officer

The past two decades have been marked by a large number of man-made terror events which remain unsolved to this day. Several of these events, which involve heinous crimes of mass murder, are similar in a most remarkable way. These are the disasters which occurred during security drills or military exercises in which the scenario was incredibly similar, if not identical to the real-life terror attack.   Understanding the nature of the exercises that created the background and framework for these attacks is essential to understanding how the attacks were carried out. The fact that these real-life terror events occurred within the context of virtually identical terrorism/security exercises has been completely ignored by the media -- as if the exercises had never happened. Of the major terror events that occurred during such exercises, we will look at three specific examples: the aerial attacks of 9-11, the bombings of the London Underground and a bus in 2005, and the sinking of the Baltic ferry Estonia in 1994.

While there certainly have been other major disasters that occurred within the context of military exercises, the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk in 2000, for example, and the 1988 downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes in the Persian Gulf, the three events being discussed here involved attacks on civilian transportation systems far from any war zone.  The three disasters were all handled in the same way by their respective governments and media. In each case, before a real investigation could begin to establish the facts and examine the evidence, a politically acceptable explanation was put forward by government officials and repeated, without question, by the mass media. Evidence and facts that contradict the "official" version of events have been confiscated, destroyed, or simply ignored.

The extremely hasty and improper sale of the steel from the World Trade Center to distant Asian smelters, for example, must rank as the most egregious case of destruction of evidence from a crime scene in American history.  In late September 2001, officials uncovered a criminal scheme to divert metal to dumps in Long Island and New Jersey.  Some 250 tons of scrap metal were found at unofficial dump sites.  In November 2001 every truck carrying steel from the World Trade Center was outfitted with a GPS (Global Positioning System) device monitored by an Israeli named Yoram Shalmon of PowerLoc Technologies of Toronto, Ontario, a subcontractor on the clean-up project.  Shalmon tracked nearly 200 trucks in New York City in real time using PowerLoc's Vehicle Location Device (VLD). Each VLD unit costs about $1,000.

“We were able to start identifying patterns of behavior. If a driver arrived late, the traffic analyst would look at why. Maybe the driver stopped for lunch, or maybe he ran into traffic,” Shalmon told Jacqueline Emigh of SecuritySolutions.com.  “Ninety-nine percent of the drivers were extremely driven to do their jobs. But there were big concerns, because the loads consisted of highly sensitive material. One driver, for example, took an extended lunch break of an hour and a half. There was nothing criminal about that, but he was dismissed.  There were also cases where trucks did little detours from their routes,” Shalmon says.

 
SELLING THE EVIDENCE - The steel from the WTC, critical evidence of what caused the towers to collapse, was quickly destroyed after being sold to Asian smelters. Alan D. Ratner of Metal Management and the New York-based Hugo Neu Schnitzer East profited from this criminal destruction of evidence. Ratner sold the WTC steel to Chinese companies, reportedly selling more than 50,000 tons of steel to a Shanghai steel company for $120 per ton. Ratner paid about $70 per ton for the steel. (See Bollyn article "Seismic Evidence of Underground Explosions" for details.)

Likewise, during the official dive for evidence to the wreck of Estonia, on which more than 852 people are known to have died, the crucial locking bolt from the bow visor, which officials blame for having caused the catastrophe, was thrown back into the sea. The bolt had been removed by divers and brought to the surface for investigation only to be thrown back by Börje Stenström, the Swedish navy commander who was the head of the technical group of the international investigation commission. According to German investigators, Stenström threw away the bolt, which according to his own scenario of the sinking, was "one of the most important pieces of evidence."

Estonia's bow visor was blamed by corrupt investigators for causing the sinking. The crucial evidence, however, was thrown back into the sea. The Swedish government's effort to support the "official lie" with a computer simulation of the sinking failed because the vessel won't sink without a hole below the waterline.

The first rule in maintaining a cover-up is to control access to the evidence. The second rule is to destroy any and all evidence that contradicts the official version of events.

The fact that these three disasters occurred during very similar terror scenarios being staged as part of an exercise has been ignored by the mass media, which has treated these extremely uncanny coincidences as complete non-issues.

Information about the exercises has been kept hidden from the public. The government cover-ups have been greatly facilitated by the compliant mass media which has consistently ignored the fact that several mega-disasters occurred within the context of strikingly similar terrorism exercises.

The terrorist attacks, for example, that struck New York and Washington on 9-11, and the London bombings of July 7, 2005, were the realization (i.e. the making real) of computer-based scenarios that were being staged in the same place at the same time. Would a truly free press ignore the conspicuous fact that both events occurred within the context of very similar terror exercises?

"The easiest way to carry out a false flag attack is by setting up a military exercise that simulates the very attack you want to carry out," Captain Eric H. May, a former military intelligence officer from the U.S. Army wrote in a recent article entitled "False Flag Prospects, 2008 - Top Three U.S. Target Cities."

"This is exactly how government perpetrators in the US and UK handled the 9-11 and 7/7 'terror' attacks," May writes, "which were in reality government attacks blamed on 'terrorists'."

 
THE 9-11 FAIRY TALE – The alleged hijackers, according to the government and media version. But why has the mass media shown no interest in interviewing the families of these men in order to document and support the official story? How can it be than several of them are even reported to be alive and the media doesn't investigate?

False flag terror attacks are designed and carried out with the intention of having a targeted foe wrongly blamed in order to manipulate public opinion and foment war.

Captain May, a Texan from Houston, certainly knows what he is talking about. He is an expert in military exercises involving simulations. May completed advanced courses at the U.S. Army's school for military intelligence officers at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and served five years with the U.S. Army's 75th Division as an Opposing Forces Controller, where he ran "contrarian scenarios."

May's aim, he says, as a former military intelligence officer who spent five years conducting war games, is to warn the public that the "'next 9-11' -- constantly promised by officials and the media -- is likely to be carried out under the guise of future military exercises.

"If the American people are aware of pending exercises and the danger they represent," May says, "then the exercises cannot 'go live' and effect the very terror events that they are supposed to be rehearsing against."

9-11 and the July 7, 2005 bombings in London "have smoking guns proving that the mass murderers were not foreign terrorists but domestic tyrants," May writes. The "smoking guns," he says, are the terror exercises that simulated the attacks that actually occurred.

While the terrorism/security drills created the "contrarian scenario" framework within which the real terror attacks occurred, it does not necessarily follow that the agency running the exercise is the actual terrorist.  The true culprit is much more likely to be a foreign agency, who is covertly, but intimately aware of the planning of the exercise. By having access to the critical computer networks involved in the exercise this outside agency has the ability to hijack the drill and make it "go live."

While the real terrorists could be from any agency that is involved in the drill, they could also be from a foreign intelligence organization that has gained "back door" access to the computer networks on which the exercise is planned and carried out.

Israeli military intelligence, for example, which has long been engaged in supplying enterprise software, such as Ptech, and network security personnel and programs to the U.S. government and military, undoubtedly has "back door" access to these most sensitive computer networks.

As May says, the "smoking gun" terror drills disprove the official fairy tale that "Islamic terrorists" are responsible for these false flag terror attacks. The Arabs and Muslims who have been wrongly blamed for 9-11 and the London bombings have simply been framed, like Lee Harvey Oswald, as part of the deception.

 
KILLING THE PATSY – Jacob Rubinstein, a.k.a. Jack Ruby, a violent Jew from Chicago with close ties to the Jewish organized crime network, shoots the patsy of the Kennedy assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald, in Dallas. Ruby's father, an alcoholic carpenter and deserter from the Russian army, came to America from Sokolov, a Zionist hotbed near Warsaw with his brother, Abraham. Rubinstein's mother, Fannie, was a Yiddish-speaking illiterate who was unable to learn to even sign her own name after 35 years in the United States. The Rubinstein children spent time in foster homes due to neglect, while Fannie spent time in the mental hospital in Elgin, Illinois.

THE CHICAGO CONNECTION

Itzhak Rabin, a senior Israeli military officer and ally of Shimon Peres, also happened to be in Dallas on the day President John F. Kennedy was killed.  The question might be asked, what business did Itzhak Rabin of the Israeli military have in Dallas on November 22, 1963?  On January 1, 1964, Rabin was promoted to Chief of Staff after returning from Dallas.

Rabin's father, Nehemiah, had lived some thirteen years in Chicago's Yiddish-speaking Jewish community on the West Side, some of that time at 2734 Crystal Street with a Solomon Turovlin of the Jewish Daily Forward, the Yiddish language paper. The elder Rabin (reportedly born Rubitzov) was involved in Chicago's Yiddish-speaking Zionist community, of which the Rubinstein family was also a part, before migrating to Palestine as a member of the Jewish Legion sometime after September 1918. Rabin's father from Chicago became one of the founders of the underground Zionist militia, the Haganah, in Jerusalem in 1920.  Why has the U.S. media ignored Jack Ruby's extensive ties to the world of Jewish organized crime?

LONDON - JULY 7, 2005

At the exact time of the terror bombings of the London Underground and a bus at Tavistock Square, a man named Peter Power was, with his crisis management company, Visor Consultants Ltd., conducting a terrorism drill for a mysterious un-named client. The Visor exercise was precisely identical to the bombings that occurred. Just how likely is such a coincidence?

Peter Power had previously worked at Scotland Yard, the Anti Terrorist Branch, and as a police superintendent in West Dorset, England. In 1993, Power was himself the subject of a criminal investigation which, in April 1993, led to his suspension and retirement from the police.

Superintendent Power was suspended following an internal police inquiry, which resulted in a file being submitted to the Director of Public Prosecution. Oddly, the details of the Power investigation have been kept classified. After a five-month investigation, Power retired from the police force in September 1993, at the age of forty-two, "on health grounds."

PETER POWER - The July Seventh Truth Campaign in Britain has revealed Power's troubled past and his links with previous terror incidents in Britain. But the details of the criminal investigation into Peter Power have been kept secret since 1993. What did he do in Dorset and who was the mysterious un-named company with whom he planned and conducted the terror exercise on July 7?

"THIS IS THE REAL ONE"

Just hours after the London bombings, Power explained the incredible coincidences with the drill his company was conducting in a radio interview with Peter Allen on BBC 5:

Power: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.

Peter Allen: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?

Power: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers, for the first time they'd met, and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision, "this is the real one" and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.

"WE CHOSE A SCENARIO"

Later, on day of the bombings, Power also appeared in a television interview on ITV News in which he revealed more about the nature of the operation:

Power: Today we were running an exercise for a company - bearing in mind I'm now in the private sector - and we sat everybody down, in the city - 1,000 people involved in the whole organization - but the crisis team. And the most peculiar thing was we based our scenario on the simultaneous attacks on an underground and mainline station. So we had to suddenly switch an exercise from 'fictional' to 'real'. And one of the first things is, get that bureau number, when you have a list of people missing, tell them. And it took a long time.

ITV Host: Just to get this right, you were actually working today on an exercise that envisioned virtually this scenario?

Power: Er, almost precisely. I was up to 2 o'clock this morning, because it's our job, my own company Visor Consultants, we specialize in helping people to get their crisis management response. How do you jump from 'slow time' thinking to 'quick time' doing? And we chose a scenario - with their assistance - which is based on a terrorist attack because they're very close to, er, a property occupied by Jewish businessmen, they're in the city, and there are more American banks in the city than there are in the whole of New York - a logical thing to do. And it, I've still got the hair....

One would think that such astounding revelations of a British terrorism expert about how the terror bombings were "almost precisely" like the exercise he had been conducting for a mysterious company would be of great interest to the media. That has, however, not been the case.

There has been virtually no discussion in the "mainstream" media that the London bombings, or other terror atrocities and disasters like 9-11 and the sinking of Estonia, occurred within the context of security drills that were very similar to what actually happened. Why has this crucial background information been censored?

Astonishing first-hand accounts, like Peter Power's, from people engaged in these exercises were reported shortly after the events occurred, yet these important stories were confined to local news outlets and not reported in the major national and international news outlets, in newspapers like the New York Times, for example, whose motto is: "All the news that's fit to print."

Power's comments about the amazing coincidences with his security drill were censored by the BBC in the same way as the eyewitness report of Stephen Evans, their reporter at the World Trade Center on 9-11.

Evans was on the ground floor of the South Tower when planes struck the complex. When he appeared on BBC World television shortly after the collapse of the twin towers, Evans repeatedly described a "series of explosions" he had seen and felt at the base of the tower before it was demolished.

 
STEPHEN EVANS - The BBC reporter and eyewitness to the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9-11. When Evans went on BBC television shortly after the collapses all he talked about was the "series of explosions" he had witnessed. The producers in London were clearly not interested in discussing that subject.  How did the BBC editors know that explosions were something that should not be discussed? Why did they censor Evans' eyewitness account?

From the first minute Evans spoke, however, it was quite obvious that his eyewitness report was being censored by the higher powers at the BBC. When the BBC revisited the events of 9-11 with Evans, there was absolutely no mention of the "series of explosions" he had witnessed on the morning of the attacks. How can that be? Such blatant and intentional omissions are properly defined as censorship.  Evans' astonishing eyewitness account from 9-11 was evidently dropped into the "memory hole" at the BBC. Peter Power's revealing comments about the London bombings met the same fate.

The BBC has a very peculiar history regarding the events of 9-11.  Not only did the British network censor Evans' reports of explosions at the World Trade Center, but it also reported that the building known as WTC 7 collapsed about 30 minutes before the 47-story tower fell straight down into its foundation.  Jane Standley, a BBC World television reporter in New York City on 9-11 reported at about 4:54 p.m. (21:54 GMT) that the Salomon Brother's building owned by Larry Silverstein (WTC 7) had collapsed. Silverstein's building, however (which he later admitted had been "pulled"), did not collapse until 5:20 p.m. (22:20 GMT). BBC news editor Richard Porter subsequently wrote on the BBC website in February 2007:  "We no longer have the original tapes of our 9-11 coverage (for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy)."  But, why would the BBC destroy its original tapes of 9-11?  (This is exactly the same excuse provided by the Hoffman Estates (Illinois) police who said they had destroyed the video tapes they had made of their three-man undercover tactical squad arresting me at my house in August 2006.)

The BBC's Jane Standley reported that Larry Silverstein's Salomon Brothers building (WTC 7) had collapsed 30 minutes before it fell straight into its foundation.  The BBC later said it had destroyed all of its original tapes of 9-11 broadcasts.

For independent journalists to question the controlled-media's version of events, from which such significant first-hand accounts have been censored, is to risk being branded a "conspiracy theorist."

The public is now told that eyewitness accounts cannot be trusted – at least when they differ from the official version. Eyewitness reports from people who were in the disaster or who saw it with their own eyes can not be considered as reliable testimony, we are told.  How very odd.

Such was the case with the downing of TWA Flight 800 off Long Island, New York in 1996, when more than a hundred eyewitnesses reported seeing what appeared to be a missile streak from the surface of the ocean, strike the aircraft, and cause an explosive fireball.

I attended the final presentation of the official TWA 800 report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in 2000, when David Mayer, whose only credential as a panel member was a Ph.D. in Applied Experimental Psychology from Rice University, audaciously dismissed the reports of more than one hundred eyewitnesses as the collective hallucinations of intoxicated New Yorkers, based solely on the fact that it was a summer evening!

At that point, it was abundantly clear that there was something seriously wrong with the NTSB and their investigation of the downing of TWA 800. The cover-up could hardly have been more obvious.

THE "PLANE-INTO-BUILDING" DRILL OF 9-11

On 9-11, an agency of the Department of Defense and the CIA was conducting a terror scenario in which an imaginary airplane from Washington's Dulles International Airport was to crash into one of the four towers of the suburban campus of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in Chantilly, Virginia, just a few miles from the Pentagon. The plane that allegedly crashed into the Pentagon, American Airlines Flight 77, departed from the same airport at 8:20 a.m. on 9-11.

When the terror scenario became real in New York and at the Pentagon, the NRO exercise was cancelled and nearly all its three thousand employees, the people who operate the nation's "eye in the sky," were sent home.

"BIZARRE COINCIDENCE"

The government said it was a "bizarre coincidence" that the NRO, a military intelligence agency working under the Department of Defense and the CIA, had planned a simulated exercise with a mock "plane-into-building" crash on the morning of 9-11.  "It was just an incredible coincidence that this happened to involve an aircraft crashing into our facility," spokesman Art Haubold told the Associated Press in August 2002. "As soon as the real world events began, we canceled the exercise."

As the agency that operates many of the nation's spy satellites, the NRO personnel come from the military and the CIA. When the attacks occurred, however, most of the three thousand people who work at the agency were sent home. Why would they do that?

The fact that the spy agency had planned such a drill was casually leaked in an announcement for a Homeland Security conference in Chicago in 2002.  In a promotion for speaker John Fulton, a CIA officer assigned as chief of NRO's strategic gaming division, the announcement said:

On the morning of September 11, 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.

CRITICAL FAILURES

The most pressing questions about why the U.S. military air defense system failed to intercept the four hijacked planes on 9-11 are obviously of crucial importance. Captain May writes that "even official apologists call [9-11] the greatest defense failure in American history."  How could the most modern and expensive air force in the world fail to intercept four airliners, three of which roamed wild for hundreds of miles before striking landmark buildings in New York and Washington?  Why was the U.S. air defense system unable to intercept several large, slow-moving planes before they struck the nation's largest city and its capital? If the U.S. Air Force couldn't intercept lumbering civilian planes, how could they possibly stop a hostile invasion of fighter jets or missiles?

These crucial questions have never been raised by the government-appointed commissions or the media, which have all avoided discussing the military exercises of 9-11.  It's not that these drills were not reported, but rather that their connection to the disasters has not been openly discussed and investigated.

Four months after 9-11, the Post-Standard of Syracuse, New York, published an article by Hart Seely that featured first-hand accounts of the military radar operators of the Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) at the former Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, New York. These radar operators were the eyes of the U.S. air defense system for the eastern part of the nation on 9-11.  In Seely's article, the NEADS personnel explained how a North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) exercise called Vigilant Guardian, which they were participating in, had caused systemic confusion which prevented an effective military response to the real emergency.

The confusion at NEADS was evident from the moment Boston Flight Control informed them that a plane had been hijacked. At 8:38 a.m. an air traffic controller telephoned Sergeant Jeremy Powell at NEADS to inform him that one of their planes had been hijacked and was headed to New York:

"Is this real-world or exercise?" Powell asked.

"No. This is not an exercise; not a test," Powell was told, according to the transcripts of the 9-11 Commission report.

"IT MUST BE PART OF THE EXERCISE"

Seely's article described the context -- and the confusion -- at NEADS:

6 a.m.: WAR GAMES

Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins figured it would be a long day.

Sept. 11 was Day 2 of "Vigilant Guardian," an exercise that would pose an imaginary crisis to North American Air Defense outposts nationwide. The simulation would run all week, and Deskins, starting her 12-hour shift in the Operations Center as the NORAD unit's airborne control and warning officer, might find herself on the spot.  Day 1 of the simulation had moved slowly. She hoped the exercise gathered steam. It made a long day go faster.

8:40 a.m.: REAL WORLD

In the Ops Center, three rows of radar scopes face a high wall of wide-screen monitors. Supervisors pace behind technicians who peer at the instruments. Here it is always quiet, always dark, except for the green radar glow.  At 8:40, Deskins noticed senior technician Jeremy Powell waving his hand. Boston Center was on the line, he said. It had a hijacked airplane.  "It must be part of the exercise," Deskins thought. At first, everybody did. Then Deskins saw the glowing direct phone line to the Federal Aviation Administration.  On the phone she heard the voice of a military liaison for the FAA's Boston Center.  "I have a hijacked aircraft," he told her.  American Airlines Flight 11, headed to Los Angeles, had veered off course, apparently toward New York. The liaison said to get "some F-16s or something" airborne. 

Forty-one minutes earlier, Flight 11 had left Logan Airport with 81 passengers. For the last 27 minutes, it had not responded to ground control. Deskins requested Flight 11's latest position, which an operator put up on the screen. Flight 11 wasn't there.  Someone had turned off its transponder, the device that identifies the plane to ground control. Boston Center could still track it on primary radar, but the operators in Rome would be hard-pressed to find it amid the jumble of blips on their screens.  We'll direct the intercept, the liaison told Deskins. Just get something up there.  Deskins ran up a short flight of stairs to the Battle Cab and reported the hijacked plane - real world, not a simulation.

NEADS RADAR OPERATORS – These were the military radar systems and personnel who were confused on 9-11 because of the Vigilant Guardian simulation. Did Osama bin Laden, in a cave in Afghanistan, and the nineteen flight school drop outs know about the simulation and hack into the military's computer systems and manipulate the radar systems in order to increase the confusion?  The real perpetrators of 9-11 did.

NOT A SIMULATION

What is most peculiar is that Seely's informative article about the confusion among the critical military radar operators at NEADS was never published or referenced by any national newspaper in the United States. The New York Times, for example, has never even mentioned "Vigilant Guardian," the air defense exercise that contributed to the confusion behind the military's failure to protect New York City on 9-11.

Oddly, among the national newspapers and news magazines of the United States, Vigilant Guardian was only mentioned once, very briefly, in a Washington Post book review of the 9-11 Commission report.  The review began: "If the 9-11 report had been written as a novel, nobody would believe it. The story is too far-fetched."

The Post mentioned Vigilant Guardian when it quoted "a little-noticed footnote" from the report:

When FAA officials realize (late) that planes are being hijacked, they can't monitor them - or decide what to do. The vice president thinks he has issued orders to shoot down civilian planes, but the pilots in the air don't get the word. The military's air-defense command isn't sure whether it's dealing with an exercise or a real event. Incredibly, according to a little-noticed footnote in the report, "On 9-11, NORAD was scheduled to conduct a military exercise, Vigilant Guardian, which postulated a bomber attack from the former Soviet Union."

Vigilant Guardian obviously confused the military because simulated hijackings and false "injects," which are radar indications of non-existent planes, were reportedly part of the exercise. This is why Deskins and others were initially uncertain whether the reports of hijacked planes were "real world" or simulation.

"First thing that went through my mind was, 'Is this part of the exercise?" Air Force Maj. Gen. Larry Arnold, who was at a command center at the Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, told ABC News. "Is this some kind of a screw-up?'"

The military's inability to respond effectively to the rogue aircraft of 9-11 was evidently caused, at least in part, by the NORAD exercise. The fact that a similar exercise, involving a plane striking a military facility near the Pentagon, was being staged on the morning of 9-11, indicates that the computer-based exercises played key roles in the actual terror attacks that occurred.

What role the military exercises played in the 9-11 terror attacks and how they could have been hijacked, and by whom, are all questions that need to be answered, but these are questions that will be addressed in a subsequent chapter.

THE ESTONIA CATASTROPHE

The unexplained sinking of the Baltic ferry Estonia on its way to Stockholm from Tallinn in late September 1994 is the third mega-disaster (not chronologically) that occurred within the framework of a military exercise. The day before it sank, Estonia had also been the scene of a terrorism exercise in which the scenario was a terror bombing of the ferry. Looking at the NATO military assets that were assembled nearby and the terrorism drill that had just been conducted on the ship, the stage was set and the actors were in place for what turned out to be a real disaster. The Estonia catastrophe is Europe's worst maritime disaster since World War II.

Tragically, 852 people are known to have died when Estonia sank in the early hours of September 28, 1994, but more than 1,000 may have perished, if, as reported, some 150 Iraqi Kurds were being smuggled to Sweden in one of the trucks on its car deck.  Scores of people died in the frigid water of the Baltic Sea waiting for rescue boats and helicopters that came too late. More than ninety bodies were retrieved from the life rafts.

THE TOLL - The bodies of some of the Estonia victims retrieved from the Baltic Sea.

NATO'S "SEARCH & RESCUE" EXERCISE

Although it is seldom mentioned, the Estonia catastrophe occurred on the first day of a 10-day NATO naval exercise called Cooperative Venture 94, in which more than fifteen ships and "a number of maritime aircraft" were prepared to conduct "humanitarian and search and rescue operations" in nearby waters.  The NATO exercise, which involved ten NATO member states and the Baltic "partner" nations of Russia, Sweden, Poland, and Lithuania, was to be staged in the Skagerrak, between Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, and the Norwegian Sea, according to the NATO press release about the exercise from September 16, 1994.

The NATO nations who participated in the exercise were Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States. Many other allies and partners sent observers to the exercise, according to the NATO press release.

The fact that Estonia sank as the submarines, ships, planes, personnel, and satellites from the navies of fourteen nations were preparing to begin their ten-day "search and rescue operations" exercise off the coast of Sweden raises several obvious questions that deserve to be answered:

If NATO had fifteen ships and a number of aircraft assembled and prepared to conduct "search and rescue operations," why didn't NATO assist in the early morning rescue operation for the victims from the Estonia  catastrophe? The Swedish rescue helicopters were ill-prepared and ill-equipped, which resulted in a fatal delay for those waiting to be rescued.

Many Estonia victims died of exposure due to the delayed rescue.  Of the 852 lives lost only 94 bodies were recovered.  A complete list of the dead is here.

"Were there specially-equipped rescue helicopters or other aircraft that could have assisted?" Drew Wilson, author of The Hole (2006), a book about the Estonia catastrophe, wrote. "Survivors who didn't die from hypothermia while floating on upturned boats or flotsam in the biting water waited four-six hours for rescue.  NATO search-and-rescue personnel and equipment could have saved some lives. Flying time was under 1 hour. Why didn't they respond to the distress traffic? What happened?"

The evidence also indicates that the Mayday signals from Estonia had been jammed, as were all radio communications in the area.  "A series of comprehensive malfunctions in regional communication systems all at once, and all at the exact time the ferry had sunk suggest involvement by a military or intelligence services," Wilson writes in The Hole. "Was a distress call intentionally blocked?  If so, why?

"Communications throughout the Northern Baltic Sea were disrupted during the time of the accident." As Wilson documents, VHF Channel 16, the international Mayday channel, and Channel 2182 were blocked.  "Signal jamming of all radio communications apparently occurred on the Southern coastline of Finland as the accident unfolded.

"Werner Hummel, the German investigator, said that his Group had documentation showing that the regional telephone network servicing the catastrophe site failed just as it was needed most. The malfunction was truly a startling coincidence. The telephone company stated its entire radio communications network, for unknown reasons, had been down from 1:03 to 1:58 a.m. – almost exactly the time the Estonia first encountered trouble until the time it disappeared from radar."

Didn't the NATO communications units prepared for the "search and rescue" exercise overhear the distress calls coming from Estonia?  NATO, with state-of-the-art satellite and airborne surveillance assets in place over the Baltic Sea certainly must know who was blocking the SOS calls. Why has this information been kept secret since 1994?

Blocking SOS calls and jamming distress signals is a violation of international law. Why has this crime not been investigated? The intentional blocking of the Mayday signals from Estonia points to complicity in mass murder.

"Naval exercises are meant to be as realistic as possible," Olivier Schmidt, author of The Intelligence Files: Today's Secrets, Tomorrow's Scandals, writes. What was the "search and rescue" scenario of NATO's Cooperative Venture 94 exercise, which was commanded at sea by the Dutch submarine commander Gijsbert Goofert Hooft?

I sent a series of pertinent questions to Robert Pszczel, NATO's press officer for Baltic issues, about NATO's response to the Estonia catastrophe:

Did NATO have any naval assets in the Baltic Sea on the night of September 27-28, 1994 and what actions did NATO take in the immediate aftermath of the Estonia disaster?

Did NATO pick up the Mayday signals being sent (and jammed) from Estonia?

Why didn't NATO assist, given the urgent need to retrieve hundreds of freezing people from life rafts?

What was the scenario of NATO's search and recovery exercise?

Despite telephone calls and email exchanges with the press office at NATO headquarters, Robert Pszczel failed to respond to a single question about NATO's response to the Estonia catastrophe for this article. Drew Wilson met the same wall of silence at NATO when he asked questions about Estonia for his book The Hole.  If NATO has a reasonable explanation for its failure to respond to Europe's worst maritime disaster since World War II, why is it unwilling to provide it?

NATO AWAC Planes in Norway
NATO had fourteen ships, submarines, aircraft, and personnel from the United States, Europe, Sweden, and Russia assembled near the scene of the sinking of Estonia, Europe's worst maritime disaster since World War II. The purpose of the NATO exercise included "search and rescue" operations, yet when disaster struck, NATO did nothing to help. Why? What was NATO doing that was more important than saving the lives of their citizens? Why won't they talk about it?

ESTONIA'S BOMB DRILLS

The Estonia ferry had been the object of bomb threats and had participated in at least two terror bomb exercises in 1994, one in February and another just the day before it sank.

On February 2, 1994, Estonia was the subject of a major mock bomb exercise conducted with RITS, Sweden's maritime fire and rescue agency, and the Stockholm police. The Stockholm police had requested to take part in the exercise and used bomb-sniffing dogs to find explosives. The terror simulation involved a scenario in which "bombs" had been placed in the sauna and swimming pool area on the lowest deck, below the waterline in the bow of the ship. A second "bomb" was placed in the sleeping quarters on the first deck, also below the waterline.

In the Estonia terror scenario, the explosives in the sauna were to be found by the dogs, while the second "bomb" was to explode. The purpose of this terrorism drill was to train with the ship's crew and include shore-based terrorism experts and police with bomb-sniffing dogs, brought to the ship by helicopter. In the simulation, the "bombs" were set to explode about halfway between the Estonian and Swedish coasts, which is where the ship actually sank in September 1994 after a similar mock bomb threat exercise.

When Estonia sank, another mock bomb exercise on the ship had just been concluded. Survivors from the sinking actually reported hearing two huge explosions immediately before the ship listed to starboard. Several crew members testified to having heard the coded fire alarm "Mr. Skylight to No. 1 and 2" over the ferry's public address system at about 1:02 a.m. after the vessel had listed severely. This is the message for the crew that was used during the previous bomb drill in February 1994. "Mr. Skylight" was a signal for the fire fighters to proceed to their fire stations 1 and 2 and prepare for damage control. The fact that this coded alarm was given indicates that there was damage caused by a fire or explosion that required immediate attention. The ferry sank within thirty minutes.

Eyewitness testimony from survivors plus the fact that the ship sank extremely quickly strongly suggest that explosives were used to tear a large hole in the hull below the waterline. Swedish policemen who had just conducted training involving a mock bomb threat on the ferry were returning home when Estonia sank. Of the seventy policemen, only seven survived.

The trans-Baltic ferry Estonia sank in less than 30 minutes after two explosions rocked the ship in the middle of the night.  A mock terror drill of a bombing scenario had just been completed on the ship the day before.  The passenger ferry was being used to transport Soviet military contraband when she sank. The highest officials in Swedish customs, the government, and military were aware of the sensitive and illegal shipments that put the ferry at risk.  Is this why they are so dedicated to protecting the lies about the sinking?

V - How Did Spy Software Get Onto FAA Computers?

 Chapter V 

How Did Spy Software Get Onto FAA Computers?

The deathly precision of the attacks and the magnitude of planning would have required years of planning. Such a sophisticated operation would require the fixed frame of a state intelligence organization, something not found in a loose group, like the one led by the student Mohammed Atta in Hamburg.
- Eckehardt Werthebach, former president of Germany's Verfassungsschutz intelligence service, to Christopher Bollyn, December 2001 

The Deputy Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at the time of 9-11 and the former Managing Director of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the man who oversaw the federal investigation of TWA 800, Egypt Air 990, and the downing of John F. Kennedy's plane, are linked with a captain of Israeli army intelligence and his system to remotely control aircraft. 

The relationship between these appointed officials of the federal agencies responsible for aviation safety with a senior officer of a foreign military intelligence raises serious questions about the degree of Israeli influence at the FAA and NTSB. 

THE COMPUTER CRIMES BEHIND 9-11 

The dependence of the U.S. government and military on computer systems, which run on software provided by outside vendors, is the Achilles' heel of the world's most powerful nation.  9-11 was clear proof of that fundamental weakness and vulnerability. 

9-11 was a computer crime.  Apart from being a monstrous crime of mass murder and false flag terrorism, 9-11 was also a sophisticated computer crime, carried out through long-term foreign infiltration of the most sensitive U.S. military and government computer networks.  This infiltration, carried out by a foreign intelligence agency, gave the perpetrators of 9-11 "real-time" access to all the data on the computers of the U.S. government and military.  On 9-11, this "super-user" access to the data of the most critical government computer networks gave the terrorists the ability to thwart the military response to the emergency as it developed. 

Most importantly, the terrorists who committed 9-11 through their "super-user" access to the most critical computer networks of the U.S. government still have that access.  The evidence indicates that this infiltration was carried out by the military intelligence agency of the State of Israel. 

PTECH & 9-11 

The subject of computer sabotage in relation to the aerial attacks of 9-11 was brought to the fore by Indira Singh, who spoke at early 9-11 truth events organized by Kyle Hence.  During these early 9-11 "truth" events, a small Massachusetts-based software company called Ptech was brought up by Singh, who sought to link it to Arab terrorists.  Ptech was said to be a start-up company from Quincy, Massachusetts, whose software was loaded onto the most sensitive computer systems across the U.S. government, including those of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the U.S. Air Force, two agencies whose systems failed miserably on 9-11.

Indira Singh

Singh, a senior risk and IT consultant with JP Morgan Chase on 9-11, is described as a "whistle-blower" because of her revelations about Ptech's involvement with the critical computer systems that failed on 9-11.  "Ptech was with MITRE Corporation in the basement of the FAA for two years prior to 9/11," Singh said. "Their specific job is to look at interoperability issues the FAA had with NORAD and the Air Force in the case of an emergency. If anyone was in a position to know that the FAA -- that there was a window of opportunity or to insert software or to change anything -- it would have been Ptech along with MITRE." 

Singh has spoken extensively about Ptech's alleged connections with Saudi Arabia, for example, with Pacifica Radio in 2005: 

Maybe those organizations don’t fully know who their masters are. And Ptech is the one thread, the one golden thread you pull on and all of this is unraveled, because it goes into the corporations, it goes into these government entities, it goes into the terrorism financing entities that were, that none of which have been, by the way, taken to task. There are just so many questions about what does this all mean. And as we investigated, as I investigated further, we found that the origins of Ptech were very interesting – where did this company come from obviously is the first question. And how did they get to be so powerful, who were the people, who were the organizations that brought them in, who knew, who gave them the power?

Ptech software "is utilized at the highest levels of almost every government and military and defense organization in this country," Singh said, "including the Secret Service, the FBI, the Department of Defense, the House of Representatives, the Treasury Department, the IRS, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force, and, last but not least, the Federal Aviation Administration." 

I found it hard to believe that the most sensitive government and military computers would run enterprise software from a Lebanese-owned start-up company called Ptech from Quincy, Massachusetts.  All the talk about the Saudi-financier behind Ptech being linked to Osama Bin Laden smelled like a "cut out" to me.  It simply did not make sense that the most secure computer systems of the U.S. government would be running software written by a Lebanese Muslim financed by a Saudi who happened to be on the most-wanted list of global terrorists. 

When I turned my attention to Ptech, I soon discovered that the real key person involved in the development of the company was a Zionist Jewish lawyer named Michael Goff from Worcester, Massachusetts.  Goff also worked for an Israeli-run computer security company called Guardium. This confirmed my suspicion that Ptech was probably an Arab "cut out" controlled by the Mossad, and that Goff was their point man in Ptech.

Michael S. Goff, Mossad's Man at Ptech 

Goff's father and grandfather had been high-level Masons in the Worcester lodge of B'nai B'rith, a secret Jewish Masonic group formed in New York City in 1843.  Goff obviously lied to me about how he had gotten involved with Ptech in 1994 when he said that he had wound up becoming the manager of the company through a temporary agency.  It seemed to me that the Ptech cut-out had been exposed.  My revelations about Ptech's Zionist roots were published in a newspaper based in Washington, D.C.  Singh, however, ignored the evidence of Israeli involvement with the creation of Ptech and continued to accuse the company of being linked to Saudi sponsors of terror.  Meanwhile, Ptech software is still running on U.S. government and military computers. 

Singh and I were asking the same questions:  How did Ptech get to be so powerful?  Who were the people, who were the organizations that brought them in?  Who knew?  Who gave them the power? 

After 9-11, the crucial question was how did Ptech's software get loaded onto the critical U.S. government networks – particularly those of the FAA, the U.S. Air Force, and NORAD?  Who, in their right mind, would have allowed Ptech personnel and software anywhere near the FAA's core air traffic control system computers in Herndon, Virginia? 

During my research about the military exercises that were on-going when 9-11 occurred, I read documents about how the FAA and NEADS computer systems failed.  The FAA in particular was extremely slow to contact the military about the rogue aircraft of 9-11.  In one case, one of the rogue aircraft had been allowed to fly without communication for nearly thirty minutes before the military was notified. 

"THE HEART OF THE MATTER" 

The flawed and delayed FAA procedures and communications with the military are at "the heart of the matter," as 9-11 relative Kristen Breitweiser said: 

You know, it is very upsetting that the 9/11 Commission had to subpoena the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA]. According to news reports, there are 150,000 documents that were left out of what the FAA sent to the commission. Those documents went toward the time line of when the FAA notified the North American Aerospace Defense Command [NORAD], when the fighter jets were scrambled and the communications between air-traffic control and the pilots. These are threshold issues that go to the heart of the matter. How did the FAA overlook 150,000 documents pertaining to these issues? It is more than mildly upsetting that they would leave out these documents.

MONTE BELGER – FAA DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR 

In the documents about the FAA failures on 9-11, I came across the name of a Monte R. Belger, acting deputy administrator of the FAA at the time.  A long-term FAA official who began his career with the FAA in Chicago, Monte Belger was the senior official who oversaw the upgrading of the FAA air traffic computer systems that began in the late 1990s and which was on-going in 2001.

Monte Belger, Acting Deputy of the FAA from 1997-2002, was the official responsible for the computerized air traffic control system upgrade that allowed MITRE and Ptech to infiltrate critical computer systems with Israeli spyware. 

Belger, as the Acting Deputy Administrator for Air Traffic Services and System Operations, was the key man at the FAA making the executive decisions about these upgrades.  As the New York Times of June 7, 2001, reported: 

The aviation agency is installing a computer system that controllers can use to determine whether airplanes can depart from established traffic lanes and fly long distances, and whether they will conflict with other airplanes by doing so.

Belger was the key decision maker at the Federal Aviation Administration, responsible for the software and computer upgrades that involved Ptech, the suspicious upgrades which were being done during the years prior to 9-11.  Documents and reports from the MITRE Center for Advanced Aviation System Development in McLean, Virginia, show that Ptech was working with MITRE on FAA computer systems. 

As his on-line biography says, Belger, a thirty-year veteran of the FAA, was Acting Deputy Administrator for the FAA for five years, from 1997-2002, leading the 49,000-person team and in charge of operating the world's safest aviation system. 

During his tenure with the FAA, Belger was the Associate Administrator for Air Traffic Services, responsible for day-to-day operations of the nation's airspace system, and supervised the FAA's modernization plan aimed at improving aviation capacity, safety and service to airlines. Belger played a pivotal role in assisting in the transition of aviation security responsibilities from the FAA to the new Transportation Security Administration, and he co-chaired the FAA's successful efforts to adopt acquisition and personnel reform. Belger retired from the FAA in September 2002. 

U.S. AVIATION TECHNOLOGY LLC 

After he left the FAA, Belger became the "Vice President, Government Connection" of a small Israeli-run company based in the Fort Lauderdale area called U.S. Aviation Technology.  The company was founded by Ehud "Udi" Mendelson, who described himself as "a captain in the prestigious Army Intelligence Unit of the Israel Defense Force." 

"Ehud received his BS Degree in Business and Economics from the Bar-Elan [sic] University in Tel-Aviv, Israel.  He holds a computer Network Engineer certification from Microsoft and Novel," according to his webpage. 

Company documents and information from the Israel Venture Capital Research Center website specifically name Monte Belger of Centreville, Virginia, as a Vice President and Government Connection of U.S. Aviation Technology LLC. 

Mendelson, age 51, was also the Chief Technology Officer of U.S. Aviation Technology, which was based in his apartment in Parkland, Florida.  Mendelson's company promoted a remote-control system that allows a "ground pilot" to monitor and adjust the computer flight systems on aircraft.  As he says in his presentations, "We put the ground 'pilot' in the cockpit." 

His software and design was promoted as a system to obtain real-time data from the aircraft's computer recorders (black box, FDR) in order to monitor flight systems – and make corrections – if necessary.  The possibility to remotely hijack a plane with Mendelson's system is obvious.  Mendelson also promoted a Flight Data Animator, which he said gives the ground pilot all of the data and the visuals that the pilot in the aircraft has.  In the two on-line presentations of this equipment it is implied that corrections can be made by the ground pilot to avoid an accident or situation. 

The data is sent via satellite to the satellite antenna on the top of the aircraft.  This software and equipment clearly would allow the ground "pilot" to fly the aircraft.  Mendelson was promoting his software and system before 9-11 and hoped to have it on the market in November 2001, according to a document in his company presentation. 

I called Monte Belger to ask him about his relationship with Ehud Mendelson, an officer in Israel's military intelligence agency, and his remote-control aviation company.  I found it very disturbing that an administrator with the FAA would be associated with such a business project, especially after 9-11. 

I called Mr. Belger at his home on Eagle Tavern Lane in Centreville, Virginia at about 9 a.m. on January 24, 2008.  I asked him about his relationship with U.S. Aviation Technology and Ehud Mendelson.  He denied knowing or having anything to do with either and asked me to call him later at his office at Lockheed Martin Corporation where he is a Vice President responsible for Transportation Systems Security. 

When I called his office, he put me on speaker phone, he said, in order to try and access the websites where he was named as a Vice President of U.S. Aviation Technology.  He continued to deny knowing anything about the company or its founder, a member of Israel's Army Intelligence Unit. 

PETER GOELZ – NTSB 

Peter Goelz, the former managing director of the NTSB, the federal investigative body that oversees air crashes, is also named, along with Monte Belger and others, as a Vice President, Corporate Strategy, in U.S. Aviation Technology. 

Goelz, at the NTSB from 1995 until 1999, personally supervised the investigations of TWA Flight 800, Egypt Air 990, the ValuJet crash in Miami, and the mysterious crash of the young John F. Kennedy's plane off the coast of Cape Cod.  There are many outstanding questions about what really happened to the aircraft involved in several of the high-profile cases that Goelz was involved in.

Peter Goelz 

Peter Goelz, former managing director of NTSB, oversaw the seriously flawed TWA 800 and Egypt Air 990 investigations.  The New York-born Goelz was a lobbyist for gambling interests in Kansas City prior to coming to the NTSB.  A political advisor and lobbyist, Goelz lacks any real expertise in accident investigation.  Prior to being appointed to the NTSB during the Clinton administration, Goelz was a political advisor in New Hampshire and a lobbyist for gambling interests in Kansas City.  I have not found anything in his resume that would make him a suitable candidate to oversee aviation accident investigations.
