it.

Air Defenses Stood Down On 911 AFTER ATC
Alerts Given
By R.
Anderson, 12-23-1
** Dozens of air bases were within MINUTES of BOTH
9.11 targets **
There is now irrefutable
evidence which proves massive complicity on the part of the highest levels of
government
-- along with numerous accomplices and
co-conspirators in the military, intelligence and administrative sectors
--
in the September 11 atrocities perpetrated
against the American people.
Here's the deal.
It
is a FACT that DOZENS of Air Force and Air National Guard bases are
located within ten to thirty minutes intercept time
of BOTH 9/11 target locations. (List of bases provided
below.)
It is a FACT that most of these installations
have, at the ready, fighter jets such as F-16s to be scrambled
on a MOMENT's NOTICE, for intercepting troubled or problem
aircraft.
It is a FACT that air defense units DID receive
alerts from Air Traffic Controllers and FAA officials on a number of aircraft
across
the East Coast which had broken
communications and deviated radically from established flight paths on the
morning of September 11.
It is a FACT that standard intercept procedures
for dealing with these kinds of situations ARE TOTALLY
ESTABLISHED,
IN FORCE and ON-LINE in these
United States 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

It is a FACT that Air National Guard and
Air Force air defense units of the United States WERE PROHIBITED
from carrying
out their STANDARD INTERCEPT
PROCEDURES as detailed above on the morning of
9/11;
AFTER
they had received the alerts from ATC and FAA.
Absolutely NO executive-level input of ANY KIND is
required for standard intercepts to be scrambled.
There was NO indication in any alerts received by
air defense units, that "SHOOT-DOWNS" may be required as opposed to
intercepts
-- i.e.; that the planes were
definitely under control of "hostile" forces -- because ATC/FAA could NOT have
KNOWN that.
When the first alerts were received from Air Traffic
Control, ALL that air defense units were required to do was scramble
STANDARD
interceptors to make contact with
the incommunicado and off-course jets. F-16s and other fighter planes WOULD HAVE
overtaken
EVERY SINGLE HIJACKED PLANE on
September 11, BEFORE they had reached their targets! (See below for locations
of air bases.)
IF, at the time of interception, it was determined the
aircraft were under hostile control and likely to impact targets, high-level air
defense
commanders at the Pentagon's National
Military Command Center (NMCC) are FULLY AUTHORIZED under existing and
established
regulations and procedures to
authorize a shoot-down,. in order to PROTECT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM
ATTACK.
Yet air defense units that were READY AND WAITING on
9/11, at DOZENS of nearby installations, were ordered NOT to
scramble
interceptors: they were ordered to stand
down from carrying out even the FIRST STAGE of STANDARD INTERCEPT
PROCEDURES.
These orders came from the executive office of the
president as well as from complicit individuals in the aforementioned
NMCC.
There is NO QUESTION that if these interceptors had been
scrambled AT THE TIME alerts were received,
they
would have intercepted the hijacked planes before targets were approached IN
EVERY INSTANCE.
And there is NO WAY that the office of the President or
the NMCC could have KNOWN through any standard means that these
incommunicado flights required anything OTHER than standard
interceptions, because ATC and FAA alerts DID NOT relay any
such information. The alerts simply requested that STANDARD
INTERCEPT PROCEDURES be implemented and that interceptors
be scrambled forthwith.
Some disingenuous excuse-makers say things like: "Well,
there was no air defense response because the U.S. had NO PROCEDURES
for dealing with such 'attacks,' because the U.S. had
never BEEN 'attacked' this way before."
This sheer, complete nonsense: fully established
procedures for dealing with intercepts of ALL KINDS,
including of hostile aircraft, existed on September 11, as
detailed above.
Furthermore: when those first alerts were received from
ATC/FAA, there was no MENTION of any "attack"
and
no NEED for "unusual" procedures. There was only a need for STANDARD,
FIRST-STAGE INTERCEPTIONS to be scrambled,
and
higher authorities PREVENTED that.
Other disingenuous excuse-makers THEN say: "Well, of
COURSE higher authorities stepped in,
because
they had to see what was going on with the whole situation, as 'America was
under attack.' "
AGAIN: America was NOT "under attack" when those first
alerts were received; certainly ATC and FAA had NO WAY
of knowing so early in the proceedings that the jets which had
broken communications and gone off-course were part of any "attack."
So WHY did the executive branch and high-level military
authorities DELIBERATELY order the air defense interceptors to STAND DOWN?
NOBODY could have known that early in the proceedings that 'America was under
attack"... or COULD they have known?
OBVIOUSLY, those who ordered the stand-down DID know that
early in the proceedings that "America was under attack" because
they were COMPLICIT in the attack, and took
ALL POSSIBLE STEPS
to ENSURE that the
attack WOULD TAKE PLACE,
unimpeded by the air defense of
the United States.
True patriots in this land who have SWORN to protect and
defend our Republic MUST consider these irrefutable FACTS
and set about unswerevingly to bring these complicit
individuals to justice.

USAF ON September 11th -
Busted
by Ace (Rense
Files)
As I may have told you long ago, I am a tyro at
questioning the state and such a task is not my principal activity. I am a
small, specialty
manufacturer who has gotten caught up in being disgusted by my government's
lies and that has caused me to look at certain
events
more closely than those who are thought to
be responsible for that scrutiny.
As you know by now, I have also been outraged by the
monstrous lies that the government has foisted on the public,
with the cooperation of the press, concerning the failure of the US military to interdict and
prevent
the murderously damaging conclusion of 3
or 4 commercial airliners on 11/9/01.
Just by searching NYT archives, I found the policy and
the methodology for intercepting a runaway Lear 35 - Payne Stewart's
charter.
The story clearly establishes that F16's
were scrambled to intercept this bizjet within 25 minutes of its failure to
report to controllers
upon its reaching its
cleared alttitude of 39,000 ft. These F16's were scrambled ONLY upon the
loss of a radio communication:
The transponder
never ceased to function.
The Story: Learjet carrying golf champion Payne
Stewart and at least four others crashed on October 26th 2001.
'RAY SUAREZ: The twin-engine Learjet 35, which can carry
eight passengers and a crew of two, left Orlando International Airport
shortly
after 9:00 yesterday morning. It
was supposed to be a routine trip from Orlando to Dallas, but the pilots
stopped responding to controllers
soon
after heading out. The jet's last radio contact came 25 minutes
later, when the plane was just northwest of Gainesville, Florida.
The
FAA asked for help from the
military. An Air Force F-16 was first to reach the jet, just after 11:00
AM. Although no contact had been
established
and the F-16 pilot reported no movement in the jet's cockpit, the aircraft
continued its path, reaching over 48,000 feet at close
to 1:00 PM. Less than 30 minutes later, after
running out of fuel, the plane crashed just outside of Mina, South
Dakota.'
~ Online News Hour - PBS
10/26/01
U.S.
Airforce preliminary chronology of events 10/26/01
The way I view the intercept, the F16 out of Eglin
(Florida), 500 miles behind the Lear,
travelling
at its posted max speed, mach 2+, caught the Lear in 30 minutes.
For all of us who care about relating how the attempted
coup was facilitated, and care to reveal 9/11 as a coup for posterity,
then it seems to me essential that this technical record
be established...an F16 can catch a 767 within 30 minutes - if it is ordered to
do so.
With that understanding, since no one else has done it, I
thought it would be of interest to see how many air force
- including air national guard, air force reserve - facilities
might have been within 500 miles of the "terror" airliners on 9/11.
Here are the facilities that I found on the USAF
website[s].
1. Andrews AFB [11 miles SE of DC].
2. Bolling AFB [3 miles south of US CAPITOL].
3. Dover AFB [3 miles southeast of Dover, Delaware]
4. Hanscom AFB [17 miles northwest of Boston]
5. Langley AFB [3 miles north of Hampton, VA]
6. McGuire AFB [18 miles southeast of Trenton,NJ]
These are the major, active AIR FORCE facilities
that could have launched intercepts with the commandeered airliners.
All of them, if ordered in a timely fashion, could have
intercepted and prevented the collisions with the WTC and the Pentagon.
Then there are these minor, active AIR FORCE
facilities. I don't know how they function, but for the sake of
history,
let us note their existence within the
umbrella of intercept before any collision with civilans could occur.
7. Cape Cod, MA AFS
8. New
Boston, NH AFS
and then there are the AIR
NATIONAL GUARD and AIR FORCE RESERVE BASES.
9.
Atlantic City Airport, NJ [10 miles west of Atlantic City]
10. Barnes Municipal Airport, MA [3 miles northwest of
Westfield]
11. Bradley International Airport,
Conn [Windsor Locks]
12. Byrd Field, VA [4 miles
southeast of Richmond]
13. Eastern West Virginia
Regional Airport [4 miles south of Martinsburg]
14. Frances S. Gabreski Airport, NY [Westhampton Beach]
15. Greater Pittsburgh International Airport, PA [15
miles nw of Pittsburgh]
16. Harrisburg
International Airport, PA [10 miles east of Harrisburg]
17. Martin State Airport, MD [8 miles east of Baltimore]
18. New Castle County Airport, DE [5 miles south of
Wilmington]
19. Otis ANGB, MA [7 miles northeast
of Falmouth]
20. Pease ANGS, NH
[Portsmouth]
21. Quonset State Airport, RI
[Providence]
22. Rickenbacker ANGB, OH [Columbus,
Oh]
23. Stewart International Airport, NY
[Newburgh, NY]
24. Westover ARB, MA [5 miles
northeast of Chicopee]
25. Willow Grove Naval Air
Station, PA [14 miles north of Philadelphia]
26
Yeager Airport, WVA [4 miles northeast of Charleston]
27. Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport ARS, OH [16 miles north of
Youngstown]
I am not so naive as to think that all of these
installations were prepared to put up intercept, or take-down aircraft that
morning.
But some number of them may have been
able to do that and the question has to be, why didn't they?
Because all that were prepared to intercept and terminate could
have done so.
What prevented them from even
launching intercept aircraft?
That is the question. Have we just watched a '7 DAYS IN
MAY'?
Wouldn't you like to see the orders that
caused all of these aircraft to stand down?
I
sure would because based on the Payne Stewart story, such orders had to have
been given.
As has been admitted, the automatic
response would ordinarily be to intercept, and then to shoot down.
And based on the Payne Stewart story, we can only
conclude that elements within our government,
or
the shadow government behind it, prevented the intercept and shootdown of the
terrorist-commandeered airliners.
Can that be viewed as anything other than
treason?
There, I have said it. Anyone care
to contest that appraisal? I invite the argument.
Wishing you a peaceful holiday season.

Scrambled Messages
by George Szamuely
There remains one question to ask about Sept. 11. What
happened? We know the story ... Terrorists hijacked four passenger jets.
At 8:45 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston
smashes into the World Trade Center's north tower. At 9:03 a.m., United
Airlines Flight 175 from Boston smashes into the south
tower. At 9:40 a.m., AA Flight 77 from Dulles hits the Pentagon.
At 10:10 a.m., United Flight 93 from Newark crashes in
Shanksville, PA.
Yet the most amazing feature of the U.S. government's
response to these events was the almost complete absence of it.
Initial reports suggested that no aircraft were
scrambled to intercept or shoot down the hijacked jets. Two days later Air Force
Gen.
Richard B. Myers, current
chairman of the Joint Chiefs, told the Senate Armed Services Committee:
"When it became clear what
the threat was, we
did scramble fighter aircraft, AWACs, radar aircraft and tanker aircraft to
begin to establish orbits in case other
aircraft
showed up in the FAA system that were hijacked...That order, to the best of my
knowledge, was after the Pentagon was struck."
Marine Corps Maj. Mike Snyder, a spokesman for
NORAD, echoed Myers in a Sept. 15 Boston Globe story, which
stated:
"[T]he command did not immediately
scramble any fighters even though it was alerted to a hijacking 10 minutes
before the first plane...
slammed into the first
World Trade Center tower...The spokesman said the fighters remained on the
ground until after the Pentagon
was hit..." U.S.
inaction was all the more astonishing because the
same story had Snyder admitting that
"fighters routinely intercept aircraft."
So why were no fighters dispatched to intercept planes
on an extraordinary day like Sept. 11?
Within
days the story changed and it turned out that two F-15 fighters had in fact
been scrambled from Otis Air National Guard
Base in Cape Cod, MA. Whether this took place before or
after the first tower was struck is not clear. In any case it was too late
to
make a difference. When the second tower was
hit, the fighters were still 70 miles from Manhattan. We also learned that two
F-16 fighters
had been scrambled from Langley
Air Force Base to try to intercept Flight 77, but they also arrived too
late. In fact, they only took off
from Langley
two minutes before the Boeing 757 smashed into the Pentagon.
There are a number of problems with this
story.
In the first place, 45 minutes had
elapsed from the time the air traffic controllers lost contact with Flight 77
and its crash into the Pentagon.
On Sept. 15
The New York Times reported: "Flight 77...would have been visible on the
F.A.A.'s radar system as it reversed course
in
the Midwest...to fly back to Washington. The radars would have observed it even
though its tracking beacon had been turned off."
There is an even more troubling question.
Why were the fighters dispatched from Langley, more than
130 miles from the Pentagon, rather than Andrews Air Force Base,
a mere 10 miles away? Early media reports suggested that
there were no available aircraft at Andrews that day!
This is bizarre to say the least. First, if there
were no fighter aircraft available that day at Andrews, how did they miraculously make
their appearance over the DC sky after the Pentagon was
struck? Yet this is what NBC reported on
Sept. 11, as did other news outlets.
Moreover,
Andrews AFB is responsible for air defense around
Washington. The DC Air National Guard is
based there, which is
equipped with F-16s.
The 113th Wing is
based there. According to the Andrews website:
"Training for air combat and operational airlift for
national defense is the 113th's primary mission. However,
as part of its dual mission, the 113th provides
capable and ready response forces for the District of Columbia
in the event of a natural disaster or civil
emergency."
You can't get more emergency than Sept. 11!
Then there is the mystery of United Flight
93.
In the Seattle Times of Sept. 16,
Maj. Gen. Paul Weaver, director of the Air National Guard, is quoted as
saying that
"no Air National Guard or
other military planes were scrambled to chase the fourth hijacked airliner,
United Airlines Flight 93."
No military planes
were scrambled! Remember, this plane came
crashing down in Pennsylvania almost an hour and a
half after
the first tower was
struck.
Damage control was once again in operation. The Boston
Herald of Sept. 15 had Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz
announcing
"that the Air Force was tracking the
hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on Tuesday after other airliners
slammed into the Pentagon
and World Trade Center,
and had been in a position to bring it down if necessary." So why was it not brought down?
Or at the very least intercepted? Three key buildings had been
attacked. And there is still no emergency!
