Notify the Pentagon.' 9:08 a.m." ('Daily News' (New York), 12 September 2001, NEWS SECTION; Pg. 24: THE TRAGIC TIMELINE, our emphasis) [Emperor's Clothes note: This was after the first and second planes had struck the WTC Towers. The third plane is said to have hit the Pentagon 35 minutes later, at 9:43 am. "In Sarasota, Fla., Bush was reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m. when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear. The president briefly turned somber before he resumed reading. He addressed the tragedy about a half-hour later. " ['AP' Sept 12, 2001, our emphasis] "President Bush listened to 18 Booker Elementary School second-graders read a story about a girl's pet goat Tuesday before he spoke briefly and somberly about the terrorist attacks." --Sarasota Herald-Tribune, September 12, 2001 Wednesday, A SECTION; Pg. A20 HEADLINE: Bush hears of attack while visiting Booker [Emperor's Clothes note: The school was Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Fla.] We are not soothsayers. We cannot say with certainty what happened Sept.11 - that is, what really happened, behind the scenes. But the following report from the semi-official 'N.Y. Times' makes it clear that either Americans are being lied to by the those in the highest places - which if true has the gravest implications - or Washington's New World Order is ruled by criminally negligent morons. In an analysis of the 9-11 nightmare, which we have been preparing, one of the things we asked is: how could the so-called third plane stay in the air, hijacked, for almost an hour after two other hijacked planes had struck the WTC Towers, and not be seen and intercepted by U.S. air defense forces? How could it fly to the Midwest, turn around and fly back to Washington, to the Pentagon, undisturbed? Apparently it occurred to someone On High that ordinary folks might harbor such thoughts, hence the following article has been published by the 'N.Y. Times,' with the apparent intention of defusing such doubts. But the cure is worse than the doubts. It is one thing to say the plane was not spotted. But to say, as this article does, that the plane was spotted, that it was tracked from the time it turned back from the Midwest until it struck the Pentagon, and yet nothing was done because they "didn't know what to do" - this is simply unbelievable. * If they knew the plane was coming, why didn't they force it down and failing that, shoot it down? Before you say "They wouldn't do a thing like that," note that whatever fool edited the 'N.Y. Times' article left in the following sentences, regarding the fourth plane, the one that, we are told, crashed in Pennsylvania: "Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, said today that the Pentagon had been tracking that plane and could have shot it down if necessary; it crashed about 35 minutes after the Pentagon crash." (From article posted below) So if they "could have shot" down the fourth one, why didn't they shoot down the third? Why didn't they shoot down the first three, or at least planes two and three? Once they "knew" these were suicide hijackings what were they waiting for them to do, hit the WTC Towers and the Pentagon? Or a nuclear power plant? And why, if they were really confused about what to do, why, after the Commander and Chief was informed about what was happening, didn't he immediately convene an emergency meeting to discuss the issue? Why did he keep reading to children and listening to stories about goats while the 3rd plane flew towards Washington? (See quotes at start of this article) Moreover, knowing that two other planes had hit highly visible symbols of US power, if they knew a third plane was heading for Washington, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that the next target would be a symbol of US power in Washington? Why then didn't they order the evacuation of the most sensitive public buildings? And wouldn't that mean, right at the top of the list, the Pentagon? Yet according to news reports: "WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Up to 800 people may have died Tuesday when a hijacked commercial airliner was crashed into the Pentagon, officials said. "Firefighters were still battling a fire on the west side of the 29-acre, 6 million-square-foot building late Tuesday, more than 12 hours after the crash. Washington hospitals reported 71 people injured, some severely, and another 100 to 800 were still listed as missing and possibly dead late Tuesday. " (CNN at http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/09/11/pentagon.terrorism/) So what do we have here? Either criminal negligence beyond belief, and that includes the Commander in Chief, who hearing that planes are destroying the country focuses on goats, or b) the 'N.Y. Times' piece is a lie, that is a cover story to explain a hole stupidly left in the original cover story - the huge gap between when the 3rd plane would have had to turn around, and the time it hit the Pentagon. And if the 'N.Y. Times' is lying, then we know: those who fed it this lie are guilty of conspiracy. They are people in high places and they are directly involved in the murder of God knows how many people in N.Y. as well as the 800 casualties the media speaks of in Washington because either they planned this or wanted to let it happen and therefore did nothing to stop the second, and certainly the third planes. So there you have it - either criminal neglignece, including Mr. Bush who reads about goats while his countrymen are slaughtered, or treason. Mr. Bush has called for bringing those responsible to justice. Let us begin at home. - Jared Israel 'N.Y. Times' SEP 15, 2001 By MATTHEW L. WALD WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 — During the hour or so that American Airlines Flight 77 was under the control of hijackers, up to the moment it struck the west side of the Pentagon, military officials in a command center on the east side of the building were urgently talking to law enforcement and air traffic control officials about what to do. But despite elaborate plans that link civilian and military efforts to control the nation's airspace in defense of the country, and despite two other jetliners' having already hit the World Trade Center in New York, the fighter planes that scrambled into protective orbits around Washington did not arrive until 15 minutes after Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. Even if they had been there sooner, it is not clear what they would have done to thwart the attack. The Federal Aviation Administration has officially refused to discuss its procedures or the sequence of events on Tuesday morning, saying these are part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's inquiry. But controllers in New England knew about 8:20 a.m. that American Airlines Flight 11, bound from Boston to Los Angeles, had probably been hijacked. When the first news report was made at 8:48 a.m. that a plane might have hit the World Trade Center, they knew it was Flight 11. And within a few minutes more, controllers would have known that both United 175 (the second plane to hit the World Trade Center) and American 77 (which hit the Pentagon) had probably been hijacked. Flight 77, which took off from Dulles International Airport outside Washington shortly after 8 a.m., stayed aloft until 9:45 a.m. and would have been visible on the F.A.A.'s radar system as it reversed course in the Midwest an hour later to fly back to Washington. The radars would have observed it even though its tracking beacon had been turned off. By 9:25 a.m. the F.A.A., in consultation with the Pentagon, had taken the radical step of banning all takeoffs around the country, but fighters still had not been dispatched. At that same time, the government learned from Barbara Olson, a political commentator who was a passenger on Flight 77, that the plane had been hijacked. She twice called her husband, Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson, on her cellular phone to tell him what was happening. Despite provisions for close communication between civilian and military traffic officials, and extensive procedures for security control over air traffic during attacks on the United States, it does not appear that anyone had contemplated the kind of emergency that was unfolding. The procedures, first devised in the 1950's, cover how to send fighter planes to shadow a hijacked plane on its way, perhaps, to Cuba. They tell how to intercept a plane entering the nation's airspace through the air defense zone along the Atlantic Coast, but not what to do with kamikazes. "There is no category of `enemy airliners,' " a recently retired F.A.A. official said. He and others said they could not recall any instance in which a military plane fired on a civilian one in the United States, though in 1983 a F-4 Phantom fighter that scrambled to intercept an unidentified target off Cherry Point, N.C., accidentally rammed it. That plane was a private twin-engine propeller plane on the way home from the Bahamas, carrying seven people. The United States is signatory to a treaty that appears to bar using force against civilian airplanes. Congress has voted against letting the military shoot down suspected drug planes trying to cross into the United States. Whether those restrictions would apply to a plane showing clearly hostile intent has never been spelled out. An F.A.A. spokeswoman said earlier this week that there was a policy for shooting down civilian airliners but would not divulge it. And shooting down a jet as large as a Boeing 757 or 767 raises other problems. One F.A.A. official said, "If you keep it from hitting a government building, it's going to hit something else." That was clearly true for the planes that hit the World Trade Center, which flew over other parts of Manhattan, and the plane that hit the Pentagon, which flew over urbanized Northern Virginia. John S. Carr, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, the controllers' union, said: "Our system of unfettered access and freedom has limitations in terms of responding to a case like this. We've created a system for transportation, not defense." Today officials were trying to reconstruct that system. Ronald Reagan National Airport — with approaches that are within a few hundred yards of the Pentagon and just seconds, at jet speeds, from the heart of Washington — remains closed, "temporarily and indefinitely." Private planes were allowed to resume flying at 4 p.m. today, but only under air traffic control. Combat aircraft are patrolling the skies; an aircraft carrier is at sea off Washington and another off New York to provide air defense. Military officials have offered vague descriptions in public about their procedures against airborne terrorists. In a confirmation hearing on Wednesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gen. Richard B. Myer of the Air Force, who has been nominated to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he did not know whether the F.A.A. had contacted the Pentagon about the hijackings. "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 F.A.A. system that were hijacked," he said. He added that once the fighters were aloft, it was not necessary to use force. In part, that was because American Airlines Flight 77 had already hit the Pentagon, and the hijacked flight from Newark, its target unknown, had crashed in Pennsylvania. Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, said today that the Pentagon had been tracking that plane and could have shot it down if necessary; it crashed about 35 minutes after the Pentagon crash.
