Scapegoating Norad

Here's my take on the Washington Post and Vanity Fair articles on Norad.

Spread the word about the "other half of the story".

Sorry, wrong

Don't Forget that David Ray

Don't Forget that David Ray Griffin, in one of his presentations, said he always regarded it as very suspicious that * 3 * different official reasons had been given as to why there was no interception of the hijacked flights. One reason was given right after the attacks, a second shortly later to overcome the shortcomings of the first, while the official report came up with yet a 3rd reason.

And now we will be having a FOURTH????

Is it a coincidence that the Washington Post article (scapegoating NORAD), and the ABC News/NIghtline pieces (everyone was incompetent) appear immediately after the four CSPAN showings of LA 911 conference?

I think not.

Seems like a fall back position (limited hang out) now that so many know the truth.

It's a desperate ploy to hold onto the dwindling people that believe the official story...

The perps must be getting nervous!

I notice that you post stories in choronological order so that a relatively unimportant story can bump a truly big story.

i was wondering how you would feel about allowing stories (like the Washington Post bombshell) remain at the top for awhile, while lesser stories flow through?

i would hate to see this story getting buried.

If truthout is headlining

If truthout is headlining those it's because they are limited hangout -- the Vanity Fair piece was written by the guy who did United 93. There WAS no shootdown . . .

The WP supported war in Iraq. Incompetence is the best vaccine against 'made it happen.'

Nothing is going to happen

Nothing is going to happen to anyone as long as the present system remains in place. However, should it fall, be reclaimed (unlikely) or transform (yeah, right)then the evidence- like these tapes for example, will be damning enough to put them away.

If any of us was accused with a crime and we later copped to providing false testimony, do you think we could use the excuse "what good would it do to prosecute a nobody like me?"

They do it as a matter of routine- and get away with it.

Today enough evidence has been presented to start handing down indictments starting with the entire 911 commission and a large part of their staffs- simply for offering known false information to be presented to Congress and the American people as fact. Start there, let the rest unravel as it may.

None of the military men were placed under oath.

Exactly what many people have been saying all along: the Standard Operating Procedure was not followed on 9/11, NORAD lied and was forced to stand-down by Cheney (who was in control) and Rumsfeld who organized wargames that mobilized many planes that day, and put many virtual hijacked planes on the screens of the FAA to confuse them (NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time).

Dick Cheney was running a completely separate chain of Command & Control via the Secret Service, assuring the paralysis of Air Force response on 9/11. The Secret Service has the technology to see the same radar screens the FAA sees in real time. They also have the legal authority and technological capability to take supreme command in cases of national emergency. Dick Cheney was the acting Commander in Chief on 9/11.

The Air Force was running multiple war games on the morning of 9/11 simulating hijackings over the continental United States that included (at least) one "live-fly" exercise as well as simulations that placed "false blips" on FAA radar screens. These war games eerily mirrored the real events of 9/11 to the point of the Air Force running drills involving hijacked aircraft as the 9/11 plot actually unfolded. The war games & terror drills played a critical role in ensuring no Air Force fighter jocks - who had trained their entire lives for this moment - would be able to prevent the attacks from succeeding. These exercises were under Dick Cheney's management.

'Commission Distrusted Pentagon' story headlined on CNN.com:

WAR GAMES WAR GAMES WAR

WAR GAMES WAR GAMES WAR GAMES WAR GAMES

(Spread the word)

Did I say WAR GAMES ?

Did I say WAR GAMES

I'm currently doing research

I'm currently doing research on the actions of Kevin Nasypany (they are well featured in the Kean report), so here's my take:

Nasypany was in charge of some of the wargames on 9/11. One of the wargames was Flight 11. Most of the Boston Center controllers were NOT informed about the ongoing exercises, so they reacted as if it was a real hijacking.

Nasypany and his NEADS crew, however, immediately assumed that Flight 11 was part of a wargame (Vigilant Guardian?), the simulated Russian bomber trying to get to Washington, and his task was to prevent the plane from doing this.

But the rules of the wargame included very poor radar conditions for Nasypany. He had to deal with the handicap that he had no radar access to stop Flight 11, the Russian bomber. That's why the response was so belated.

The Otis Fighters and the Langley Fighters were involved in the wargames, too. They were waiting for orders from Nasypany, the handicapped NEADS commander.

Do you think this is wild speculation?

It was not, but as I'm working on the subject right now, I can't provide you with the whole evidence.

For start, just take this nugget:

According to the Vanity Fair article (and the Kean Report), the 8:37:52 call from Boston to NEADS was the first time the military learned of the hijacking of Flight 11. Subsequently, Nasypany ordered the Otis fighter to battle stations.

But we have a little problem here: According to the Kean Report, footnote 17 of Chapter I, the Otis fighter got the order from the Weapons director at 8:37:15.

117. For the distance between Otis Air Force Base and New York City, see William Scott testimony, May 23, 2003. For the order from NEADS to Otis to place F-15s at battle stations, see NEADS audio file,Weapons Director Technician position, channel 14, 8:37:15.

James Fox, the senior Weapons director, got his orders directly from Kevin Nasypany.This means that the Otis fighters were ordered to battle stations BEFORE the 8:37:52 call.

Is it possible that the Otis fighters were sent to the Atlantic Ocean as part of a training mission (i.e. exercise)? Here's an excerpt from the Cape Cod Times:

His team had just loaded dummy missiles onto a couple of jets that were flying a training mission over the Atlantic, and Isch was settling into his office.

A couple of his crew members peeked into his office to describe the strange news from New York they'd just watched on a TV in the health clinic.

Several minutes earlier, Isch had heard the two F-15 jets scrambled just a couple of hundred yards away. But even after turning on CNN in the weapons shop break room, he didn't make the connection.
