Tomorrow, the 911 Commission addresses NORAD's response..
Edited on Wed Jun-16-04 05:46 PM by Junkdrawer
Jim Thompson just spoke on NPR and announced that tomorrow, the commission will put to rest all the **ahem** confusion that has surrounded the events of that day in September. I’m sure there are many who are curious as to how the inexplicable will be explained. I was curious myself, and was able to obtain an advance summary of the findings:

Firing from a sniper's nest with a limited view, Lee Harvey Oswald’s second shot enters Kennedy’s back just below the neck. The bullet then zigs from Kennedy's neck to Connelly's chest and from there to Connelly's leg. Later it falls out, in pristine condition, on a stretcher where no one notices it until several hours later.

You see, nothing suspicious at all. All you conspiracy theorists should be ashamed of yourselves. Hardly seems worthwhile to see Fahrenheit 9-11 now, does it?

1. Sadly -
whatever b.s. they feed to the public, a lot of dumb asses will buy it. "Oh, the govenrment said it went down that way, so it's true".

4. Yep. If you're looking for real answers, tomorrow will leave you hungry...
If you're looking for reasons to ignore the issues, tomorrow will be your cup of tea.

3. From the NPR story, a great deal of the explanation will rely...
on the hijackers turning off the transponders....

5. How about those 9/11 war games and simulated hijackings
“I have an on-the-record statement from someone in NORAD that on the day of 9/11 The Joint Chiefs of Staff (Richard B. Myers) and NORAD were conducting a joint, live-fly, hijack Field Training Exercise (FTX) which involved at least one (and almost certainly many more) aircraft under US control that was posing as a hijacked airliner”.
Mike Ruppert – June 5, 2004, editor of FTW www.fromthewilderness.com

On September 11, 2001, Richard B. Meyers, the acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has thus far claimed he was in a meeting with Senator Max Cleland, and was “unaware” of the ongoing 9/11 attacks until after the Pentagon was struck.

<snip>

On September 11, 2001, the Air Force was in its second day of annual wargame drills, titled VIGILANT GUARDIAN, designed to test national air response systems, which incidentally involved hijacking scenarios. In addition the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) which is staffed by military and CIA personnel, and is in charge of most American spy satellites, was running a drill for the scenario of an errant aircraft crashing into its headquarters. NRO headquarters also happens to be located just four miles from Washington’s Dulles airport – where Flight 77 (the flight said to have hit the Pentagon) originated.

<snip>

Was the NRO’s war-gaming division working in conjunction with NORAD and/or the Joint Chiefs of Staff that morning? On page 5 of former White House counter-terrorism official Richard Clarke’s new book, “Against All Enemies”, he mentions a war game titled VIGILANT WARRIOR. Is this yet another wargame running on 9/11? In addition, yet another drill titled NORTHERN VIGILANCE, was running on 9/11 simulating an air attack coming from Russia. Just how many war games were running on September 11, 2001?

Received the action alert below from the 9-11 Visibility Project at www.septembereleventh.org

Dear 9/11 Truth activists and concerned citizens,

The final 9/11 Commission hearings are scheduled for
this Wednesday and Thursday, and will be aired on
CSPAN. Ostensibly these hearings will focus on "the
9-11 Plot." However, given the Commission's failure to
ask any of the important questions at previous
hearings, no credible sources expect them to do so this
time. Therefore, this action alert does not ask you to
make another appeal to the commission. Rather it is
directed towards the media, at this crucial time, in
order to alert them to the fact that the 9/11
commission is a whitewash.

Please participate! The final hearings covering "the
9/11 Plot" combined with the upcoming release of
Michael Moore's new film, "Farenheit 911," provide an
incredible window of opportunity. The media and the
public have never been as skeptical of the official
story of 9/11 as they are right now!

We provide everything you need in this email, including
sample letters and media email addresses.

Towards 9/11 Truth,

Emanuel Sferios
Webmaster, 9/11 Visibility Project

9/11 MEDIA ACTION - EXPOSE THE 9/11 COMMISSION
WHITEWASH!

SAMPLE LETTER
(Feel free to copy and paste, or use your own words.)

-----
Dear editor/reporter,

The final 9/11 commission hearings are upon us and the
important questions as put forth by the 9/11 families
have not been asked. Many of these questions pertain to
the evidence for Bush Administration complicity in the
attacks themselves, and the refusal of the 9/11
commission to address them is indicative of a coverup.

Ostensibly these hearings are supposed to focus on "the
9/11 plot" and the unprecedented failures of our air
defense system to respond to the hijacked aircraft. If
the commission took their mandate seriously, they would
inquire about the wargames that the US Military was
conducting on 9/11.

Wargames? What Wargames?

On the morning of Sept. 11 itself, the U.S. military
was conducting scheduled wargames and anti-terror
drills that included "airliner hijackings" as well an
"errant aircraft" crashing into a government building.
As referenced in the articles linked below, these
wargames have all been reported in the mainstream
media. Certainly they are relevant to the 9/11 plot. If
the commission is not a whitewash and truly wants to
get to the truth of 9/11, they will ask the hard
questions.

6. I'm sorry, but the commission only responds to the small sound bites....
that have managed to sneak into the major media. Comprehensive questions such as yours are clearly beyond the charge of the commission.
