• Subject: Re: Support Cynthia McKinney's Call for Investigating 9-11
  6 May 2002

  The following is JJ's response to a person who had been on his e-mail list and was asking to be taken off because of John's call to Support Cynthia McKinney's Call for Investigating 9-11 with the statement, "Supporting research into the JFK assassination is one thing, but supporting Rep. McKinney's irresponsible and groundless insinuation that the Bush administration had prior knowledge of 9/11 is another thing entirely."

  As you wish, but the facts need to be brought to light by a full investigation. Without them who knows what is groundless or not? History has now shown that Roosevelt had prior knowledge of Pearl Harbor. Colin Powell was announcing the war in Afghanistan planned for mid-October to leaders in surrounding countries last July. Here in DC, where I live, we had at least 40 minutes prior knowledge and the military stood down while the plane came into the most restricted air space in the country and hit the Pentagon.

  McKinney's query about Bush's family and associated profiting from the war is being answered this week in the Bay Guardian in an investigative article about companies linked to Cheney that are already profiting from the war, including Brown and Root/Haliburton. That was the company that put LBJ into political office and made $4 billion off the Vietnam war alone.

  If you are able to realize that covert operations killed the President of the United States, why do you find it so unthinkable that they might let citizens be killed as well for a political purpose? I called for support for an investigation, not for her speculations. Even without those, there is still a need for full investigation into a crime solved by secret and reportedly insufficient evidence. I've seen enough of that in my work on assassinations not to have questions.

  Blocking investigations, an old pattern. I just today heard from a reliable source that pilots of F-16 scramblers out of Otis AFB were in the air following the second plane crash to the towers, knew of the third plane coming towards DC, targeted the plane and prepared to intercept, which they had plenty of time to do, and were given no-shoot, stand down orders.

  It's chatter they say, just like the "noise" that preceded 9-11. It's so similar that Cheny says another terror attack on the US is certain. They couldn't know then they say, they can't know now what, where or when. Would you call this an "intelligence failure"?

  Backed into a corner, they threaten us with "intelligence" of an attack that is so vague that it doesn't justify a public warning, but so certain that it is only a matter of time. Investigations must not interfere with the war, they say. The point is, they are answering the wrong question. They began by denying that it was possible to have predicted or imagined such an attack on the United States. This ignores the following: . . . .

• Subject: Rice opposes public panel to investigate 9/11
  19 May 2002

  They want to contain it to the House and Senate intelligence committees which they control. Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla), chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, a longtime secrecy advocate and intelligence hack, was actually promoted to run by Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla), chair Senate Intelligence Committee. Two boys from the state that brought us the current unelected President in the first place. The heads of these committees are traditionally awarded medals by the CIA for their "services".
  
  Past committees (Church, Pike) at all critical of the intelligence agencies are now fingered for the failures of 9-11 for supposedly taking away their ability to function. But intelligence gathering was never challenged or defunded, only intelligence activities, which were often illegal, unconstitutional and ill-advised. Rice, ever a complete toady for the system, down to brushing off Bush's coat lint in one picture, says that this is not like the JFK assassination, but is "ongoing". Maybe she missed the rest of the 60s?

• Subject: Pentagon - Eyewitness accounts : Boeing 757 or military craft? - L'Asile utopique
  19 May 2002

  Here is an outline, with photos, of the French book's thesis about the attack on the Pentagon. I do not think this is at all credible, but the most interesting quotes are from the air traffic controllers who see a plane maneuvering like a military craft at high speeds, thought improbable for a huge commercial airliner. This part fits my contention and that of pilots I have spoken to, that this was not the sort of flying you could learn from a simulator, it required a very experienced military or civilian airline pilot familiar with this plane. It also identifies P-56, the restricted air space over DC, which has been restricted since the 1950s at least.

  Even if a "missile" of some sort was also used in this attack, perhaps to break the reinforcements, none of this explains what became of American Flight 77. There have been autopsies performed on the crew, the radars tracked the plane into DC and on to the Pentagon for the better part of an hour, and the number of people involved in such a coverup would even boggle my mind. In any case, thought you'd like to see this.

  Lots of important items and links on this one. Read all the way to the end to see them. A good summary at the top of the prior warnings from other intelligence agencies to the US. There is a crack in the wall, which always means to me that the class consensus is breaking down and one faction is spilling goods on another. These are the only times we get to see inside the window, so stare hard and look closely.

  19 May 2002

  Here is one more BCCI link to bin Laden and Bush. Remember that BCCI was the financial underpinning of Contragate and involves Casey, who ran both that operation and the Afghanistan resistance against the USSR. This is the path that I think holds the most promise to understanding 9-11.

  The industry gets the picture. If Tom Brokaw is right in reporting this week that the war plan for Afghanistan was handed to Bush on September 9 last year, and Times of India reported last July that Colin Powell was informing Pakistan, India, Uzbekistan and other surrounding countries that the US would intervene militarily in Afghanistan against the Taliban in mid-October, does that mean Bush is out of the loop, like Reagan? I think so. After all, would you risk telling him in advance?
