Dov Zakheim—A Key 9/11 Conspirator?


Most people familiar with the 9/11 cover-up have a fair idea of some of the key players in the monumental 9/11 crime. Rabbi Dov Zakheim, one of the central figures in this vile operation, isn’t as well known because he’s one who has always lurked in the shadows. Zakheim is as powerful as he is inconspicuous, and a man of many talents:


  1. Graduate of the prestigious London School of Economics (PhD), and the University of Oxford (National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow)
  2. Former CEO of Systems Planning Corporation, a highly specialized defense technology company that manufactures a one-of-a-kind remote-piloting system for aircraft, including commercial airliners (see below)
  3. Senior Fellow for Asian Studies of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
  4. Member of the Task Force on Defense Reform (appointed by Secretary of Defense Cohen)
  5. Senior Advisor at the Center for International and Strategic Studies   
  6. Former Under Secretary of Defense (appointed by George W. Bush)
  7. Comptroller of the Pentagon {see [1] below for performance report}
  8. Pioneer and prime architect of Project for the New American Century (PNAC), the neo-con cabal that authored Rearming America’s Defenses (RAD), the bible for American global domination [2]  
  9. Author of “Flight Of The Lavi: Inside A US-Israeli Crisis(Brassey’s, 1996)
  10. Long-time Bush associate, having served as a policy advisor to the governor during the 2000 campaign
  11. Columnist for The Jerusalem Post
  12. Editorial Board member of Israel Affairs
  13. Ordained Rabbi
  14. Citizen of the State of Israel [How a citizen of Israel can serve as Comptroller of America’s central defense establishment is a question I shall leave to others for comment. While they ponder this perturbing oddity, perhaps they could also shed light on why every one of the following kingpins of the Bush administration are also Israeli citizens: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Michael Chertoff, George Tenet, Elliot Abrams, Donald Kagan, Richard Haas, Kenneth Adelman, Edward Luttwak, Robert Satloff, David Frum, David Wurmser, Steve Goldsmith, and Marc Grossman.]




[1]  “I know Dr. Zakheim has been trying to hire CPAs because the financial systems of the department are so snarled up that we can't account for some $2.6 TRILLION in transactions that exist...”
—Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, during testimony before the House Appropriations Committee: Fiscal Year 2002 Defense Budget Request, as given by Secy. Rumsfeld, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Hugh Shelton, and Comptroller Dov Zakheim; on Monday, July 16, 2001. [NB: Dr. Zakheim resigned as Pentagon Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer at the beginning of March when it was revealed that the he is unable to account for the disappearance of $2.6 trillion (it’s unlikely this will receive much coverage in the mainstream media). Zakheim has since taken a lucrative position as a vice president of the mega-consultancy Booz, Allen, & Hamilton (one that also works closely with DARPA). Rabbi Zakheim is also Chief Executive Officer of SPC International Corporation (a subsidiary of the aforementioned remote-flight-control-technology firm), a company that specializes in “political, military, and economic consulting, and international sales and analysis”. In addition, Dr. Zakheim serves as Consultant to the Secretary of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. As the Rabbi’s record clearly shows, he has serious tenure in the US defense establishment: more than 30 years of holding assorted senior positions at the Pentagon.]


[2]  Dov Zakheim is the co-author of that singularly sinister—and chillingly ominous—statement contained in Rearming America’s Defenses (RAD) re the plan for American global domination [through galvanizing American emotional support for full-scale war against oil-rich Arab states]: "...the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor". The PNAC document also expressly recommends the US should seize Iraq even if Saddam Hussein were deposed through a military coup. [So much for bringing “freedom and democracy” to the people of that country.]


The good Rabbi’s involvement with PNAC, his previous directorship of a corporation that manufactures remote control flight systems, and his inability to document how the Pentagon has spent TRILLIONS of American taxpayers’ dollars suggests that real investigations into the crimes of 9/11 and the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq would put Mr. Zakheim near the top of the witness list for interrogation and potential prosecution.



SYSTEMS PLANNING CORPORATION

Dr. Dov Zakheim was the former CEO of Systems Planning Corporation, a company that designs and manufactures extremely sophisticated control/guidance technology that enables an external operator to fly, and land, aircraft by remote control. One of the company’s principal products is the Command Transmitter System (CTS), a fully self-contained, solid-state platform capable of providing totally programmable remote flight control capability, including high-precision electronic navigation.

The company’s parallel product, the Flight Termination System (FTS), enables system-equipped aircraft to be safely landed on any suitable runway in the world—regardless of the availability of ground-based navigational or landing aids (VOR, ILS, MLS, etc.).

Such total independence in all flight regimes is achieved through a variety of ultra-sophisticated space-based technologies, including Mil-spec DGPS (Differential GPS, using extremely precise encrypted military “P” Code transmissions), and is accurate to within one foot of the runway centerline during landing.

The CTS/FTS remote-control system is capable of controlling up to 8 airborne vehicles—including airliners—simultaneously from ground-based or airborne (AWACS) positions.

[“Coincidence”: Operation Vigilant Guardian, one of five NORAD “war game exercises” underway on the morning of 9/11 and orchestrated by Dick Cheney, involved the simulated hijacking of commercial airliners. At one point during the exercises, while the four “real” hijacked aircraft were airborne, as many as TWENTY-TWO independent radar blips representing “hijacked” aircraft were simultaneously displayed on FAA radar screens along the Eastern seaboard. This, obviously, created total pandemonium. Air traffic controllers who had been advised beforehand by NORAD of the “simulated hijackings”, began frantically calling NORAD to determine which of the twenty-two targets were “real” and which were “exercise.” All indications are that whatever it was that happened to the four real “hijacked” airliners occurred during this purposefully orchestrated melee while the order was given for the US Air Force to “stand down”.]

The CTS/FTS system (subsequently improved, tested and implemented by Raytheon) allows specialist ground controllers to listen-in on cockpit conversations on the target aircraft, then take absolute control of its computerized flight control system by remote means and safely land the aircraft at any airport within range.

In other words, this technology was designed to empower “law enforcement agencies” to hijack hijackers.

[NB: The ground station technology for CTS/FTS was developed by Raytheon under an Air Force contract for the Joint Precision Approach and Landings System (JPALS) program. A government-industry team accomplished the first precision approach/auto-land by a civil aircraft using this system on August 25, 2001 at Holloman AFB, NM. A FedEx Express 727-200 aircraft demonstrated hundred percent system proficiency by executing six full auto-lands using the JPALS ground station.]



HOME RUN”

In partnership with Raytheon, System Planning Corporation also supplies CTS/FTS technology to commercial airplane manufacturers for installation in airliners (Boeing: confirmed; Airbus: undetermined, but highly probable given the consortium’s connection to BAE, a US military contractor.)      

It has been reported that DARPA’s codename for the CTS/FTS system was “Home Run”. Former German Secretary of Defense Andreas Von Buelow may have alluded to foreknowledge of Home Run technology in an interview he gave the German daily "Tagesspiegel" on January 13th, 2002:

"There is also the theory of one British flight engineer: according to this, the steering of the planes was perhaps taken out of the pilots' hands, from outside. The Americans had developed a method in the 1970s, whereby they could rescue hijacked planes by intervening into the computer piloting [automatic pilot system]. This theory says this technique was abused in this case [9/11]..."

Upon deeper scrutiny this may not appear quite so much a “theory” as might first seem. It’s been reported that the German national carrier Lufthansa, seriously concerned that one of its own aircraft might be “rescued” by the Americans without its authority, had every one of its Home Run-equipped Boeing aircraft stripped of the American flight control computers. It’s reasonable to presume that Herr Von Buelow—the Secretary of Defense and Minister of Science and Technology at the time—would have known all about this mammoth but secretive task (how very clever—and discreet—of Von Buelow to "drop” the information into the middle of an interview about the 9/11 attacks). Lufthansa aircraft (and possibly others) are now effectively impervious to Home Run take-overs, but that is more than can be said for the American aircraft fleet.  
 
In order to make Home Run truly effective, it had to be completely integrated with all onboard systems, and this could only be accomplished with a new aircraft design, several of which were on the drawing boards at that time. Under cover of extreme secrecy, the multinationals and DARPA went ahead on this basis and built “back doors” into the new computerized flight control systems.

There were two very obvious hard requirements at this stage: 1) a primary control channel for use in taking over the flight control system and flying the aircraft back to an airfield of choice, and 2) a covert audio channel for monitoring flight deck conversations. Once the primary channel was activated, all aircraft functions came under direct ground (or AWACS) control, permanently removing the hijackers and pilots from the control loop.

It needs mention that this was not a system designed to “undermine” the authority of the flight crews, but rather, implemented as a “doomsday” device in the event the hijackers began to shoot passengers or crew members, possibly including the pilots. Based on the reasonable assumption that hijackers only carry a limited number of rounds of ammunition, and many modern airliners carry in excess of 300 passengers, Home Run was envisaged as a system that could be used to fly all the survivors to a friendly airport for a safe landing.


System Activation

Activating the primary Home Run channel is reportedly fairly straightforward. A transponder, as many readers know, is a combined radio transmitter and receiver which operates automatically—in the case of 9/11, relaying data between the four aircraft and air traffic controllers on the ground. The transmitted signals represent a unique “identity” for each aircraft, essential in crowded airspace to avoid midair collisions—and equally essential for Home Run controllers trying to lock onto the correct aircraft.

Once the correct target aircraft is located by radar, the Home Run duplex data bus “piggy backs” the transponder channel and assumes direct control from the ground.
This could explain why NONE of the four aircraft sent the special “I have been hijacked” transponder code (7500), despite multiple activation points for this distress transmission on all four aircraft—and despite being flown by combat-hardened ex-fighter pilots.

Because the transponder frequency had already been piggy-backed by Home Run, transmission of the special hijack code was rendered impossible. This was the first hard proof that the target aircraft had been hijacked electronically from the ground, rather than by Arab patsies toting box-cutters.

The Home Run listening device on the flight deck utilizes the cockpit microphones that normally feed the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), one of two black boxes armored to withstand heavy impact and thereby later provide investigators significant clues to why the aircraft crashed. However, once plugged into Home Run, the CVRs are bypassed, and voice transmissions are no longer recorded on the 30minute continuous-loop recording tape.

If Home Run is active for more than thirty minutes, there will therefore be no audible data on the Cockpit Voice Recorders. Crash investigators are said to have recovered the CVRs from the Pentagon and Pittsburg aircraft, and publicly confirmed that both are completely blank. The only possible reason for this is data capture by Home Run, providing the final hard proof that the attack aircraft were hijacked electronically from the ground, rather than by “Arab terrorists”.


Discussion

It is not being suggested that remote circumvention and take-over of the four airliners’ controls is definitely what happened on 9/11. But if this scenario seems improbable, one must necessarily consider the probability of four airliners being taken over simultaneously, casually flown around a large swath of the country for almost two hours under the vigilant eye of NORAD, and then used as missiles—all without a single fighter being scrambled to intercept any of them.

Since this is what actually happened, we have no choice but to consider other “implausible” scenarios. And since the official scenario is itself an unsubstantiated—and truly farfetched—"conspiracy theory," other competing scenarios should also receive serious attention.

The public’s reluctance to question official doctrine on this matter is a symptom of the societal role for which most of us have been bred and trained: to be ever-faithful hounds, tails thumping the floor as we contentedly slurp the hand of class authority. Such credulity also becomes inevitable when the alternative is so unbearable: if someone in Bush's position is capable of lying to us about something as huge, as gut-wrenchingly horrible as 9/11, then everything we believe about this country—about the nature of civilization itself—might just be childish nonsense.

Most people simply don't have the guts to go there. Given a desperate enough need to sustain the childish belief in government-as-benevolent-father, a person will adapt that belief to any circumstance. The behavioral end result can resemble courage; indeed, we are taught to regard it as the DEFINITION of courage. Actually, it's one of cowardice's darkest moments. Even a casual examination of Nazi Germany, where this phenomenon was
rampant, will drive this point home.

It's almost funny, the way people readily see the threat of technological circumvention presented by Diebold's electronic voting machines, yet when the subject switches to Systems Planning Corporation’s Flight Termination System, which is every bit as real, and to the exactly parallel possibilities it represents vis-a-vis 9/11, they suddenly retreat into profound and combative denial. It's as if a threshold has been crossed into a realm of possibilities too vile to entertain, so they simply don't. Never mind that this country's operatives have been traveling the world, perpetrating similar horrors, for all of the past century.

Rather than acknowledge the possibility of a unifying pattern, Joe Sixpack would much rather 'shoot the messenger.' Every so often, such people establish a new high-water mark for cowardice and facultative stupidity, and the present is definitely one of those times. After all, the official 9/11 scenario they cling to with such desperate faith comes from only one source: the Western "intelligence community"—the most brazen, systematic, resourceful, and interlocked association of habitual liars this world has ever seen.

As should have been made clear by any number of intelligence scandals over the years, the credibility of this bunch goes past zero into the negative: pending airtight proof, anything they say should be reflexively deemed a lie. You may remember that the FBI also provided the identities of "the 19 hijackers" within hours—information that soon also became quite suspect, especially considering there was NOT ONE Arab name on any of the flight manifests (miraculously, they even found paper passports that had survived fireballs, Arabic flight manuals conveniently left in the trunks of cars, etc., etc.)

At least seven of the hijackers are still alive in the Middle East—a pretty good alibi, wouldn’t you say? Several of these ex-suspects had their passports or other IDs stolen from them over the years, and it's entirely possible that all 19 hijackers had stolen identities, meaning they could have come from anywhere—or been absent altogether. Our media were pretty slack about acknowledging this at the time, and since then have dropped this ball entirely. What’s really amazing is that not one mainstream journalist has asked how these 19 alleged hijackers boarded their aircraft when their names were not on any of the passenger manifests.

Rather than allow the "intelligence community" to render every detail of our comprehension on this matter, we would be much wiser to carefully identify and discard every assumption they hand us.




Planes of 911 Exceeded Their Software Limits
by Jim Heikkila
http://www.viewzone.com/911revisited.html

Two of the aircraft exceeded their software limits on 9/11.

The Boeing 757 and 767 are equipped with fully autonomous flight capability, they are the only two Boeing commuter aircraft capable of fully autonomous flight. They can be programmed to take off, fly to a destination and land, completely without a pilot at the controls.

They are intelligent planes, and have software limits pre set so that pilot error cannot cause passenger injury. Though they are physically capable of high g maneuvers, the software in their flight control systems prevents high g maneuvers from being performed via the cockpit controls. They are limited to approximately 1.5 g's, I repeat, one and one half g's. This is so that a pilot mistake cannot end up breaking grandma's neck.

No matter what the pilot wants, he cannot override this feature.

The plane that hit the Pentagon approached or reached its actual physical limits, military personnel have calculated that the Pentagon plane pulled between five and seven g's in its final turn.

The same is true for the second aircraft to impact the WTC.

There is only one way this can happen.

As well as fully autonomous flight capability, the 767 and 757 are the ONLY COMMUTER PLANES MADE BY BOEING THAT CAN BE FLOWN VIA REMOTE CONTROL. It is a feature that is standard to all of them, all 757's and 767's can do it. The purpose for this is if there is a problem with the pilots, Norad can fly the planes to safe destinations via remote. Only in this flight mode can those craft exceed their software limits and perform to their actual physical limits because a pre existing emergency situation is assumed if this mode of flight is used.

[Google "Raytheon Global Hawk system"]

Terrorists in fact did not fly those planes, it is totally and completely impossible for those planes to have been flown in such a manner from the cockpit. Those are commuter aircraft, not F-16's and their software knows it.

Another piece of critical evidence: the voice recorders came up blank.

The flight recorders that were recovered had tape that was undamaged inside, but it was blank. There is only one way this can happen on a 757 or 767. When the aircraft are commandeered via remote control, the microphones that go to the cockpit voice recorder are re routed to the people doing the remote controlling, so that the recording of what happened in the cockpit gets made in a presumably safer place. But due to a glitch in the system on a 757/767, rather than shutting off when the mic is redirected the voice recorder keeps running. The voice recorders use what is called a continuous loop tape, which automatically re passes itself past the erase and record heads once every half hour, so after a half hour of running with the microphones redirected, the tape will be blank. Just like the recovered tapes were. Yet more proof that no pilot flew those planes in the last half hour.

Eight of the hijackers who were on those planes called up complaining that they were still alive. I'd bet you never heard about our foreign minister flying to Morocco and issuing an official apology to the accused, did you? No, terrorists did not fly those planes, plastic knives and box cutters were in fact too ridiculous to be true. Any of the remaining accused have certainly been sought out and killed by now.

Our information IS controlled

The cell phone calls from the aircraft could not have happened. I am a National Security Agency trained Electronic Warfare specialist, and am qualified to say this. My official title: MOS33Q10, Electronic Warfare Intercept Strategic Signal Processing/Storage Systems Specialist, a highly skilled MOS which requires advanced knowledge of many communications methods and circuits to the most minute level. I am officially qualified to place severe doubt that ordinary cell phone calls
were ever made from the aircraft.

It was impossible for that to have happened, especially in a rural area for a number of reasons.

When you make a cell phone call, the first thing that happens is that your cell phone needs to contact a transponder. Your cell phone has a max transmit power of five watts, three watts is actually the norm. If an aircraft is going five hundred miles an hour, your cell phone will not be able to 1. Contact a tower, 2. Tell the tower who you are, and who your provider is, 3. Tell the tower what mode it wants to communicate with, and 4. Establish that it is in a roaming area before it passes out of a five watt range. This procedure, called an electronic handshake, takes approximately 45 seconds for a cell phone to complete upon initial power up in a roaming area because neither the cell phone or cell transponder knows where that phone is and what mode it uses when it is turned on. At 500 miles an hour, the aircraft will travel three times the range of a
cell phone's five watt transmitter before this handshaking can occur. Though it is sometimes possible to connect during takeoff and landing, under the situation that was claimed the calls were impossible. The calls from the airplane were faked, no if's or buts.

I hope I made sense, if you have questions I will respond if possible. If I do not respond, please research this out yourself, search the Boeing site, search the DARPA site, search where you have not searched before. Some of the information is classified and leaked by individuals, and it is also being scoured from the net. I have all of the original documents on my computer to safeguard against this.

Please do not ignore this, because only Norad has the flight codes for those aircraft, we did 911 to ourselves. Hitler had the Reichstag, we have 911. If 911 proves to not be enough to make the US citizenry set aside its rights for safety, the people who did 911 most certainly have access to nuclear material. 911 must be exposed for what it was before that material is used.


OLMERT, ATZMON, ABRAHAM AND 9/11
by Barry Chamish

In 1989 the Likud Party was investigated by the state comptroller for

massive fraud. The two chief accountants of the party were Menachem

Atzmon and Ehud Olmert. Somehow, Atzmon was convicted of fraud and

Olmert wasn't.

In 2006 Olmert was elected in his way to be prime minister of Israel and

Atzmon was forgotten.

Well, not by everyone. The enemies of Israel's government remembered him

and his once-close ties to Olmert. I was a guest on a Republic

Broadcasting Network's program with a true anti-Israel bigot,

Christopher Bollyn. I knew him and had not admired him in the case of

the murder of Utah Congressman Wayne Owens. He had changed the

background of the story, making Yasir Arafat the victim of Israeli

chicanery. But we'll get there soon enough.

He was repeating his process, turning Israel's attack on Gaza as

unrelated to Hamas' murder and I was defending Israel, when he caught me

offguard. "Do you know Menachem Atzmon?" he asked. I answered, "He was

Likud Treasurer along with Olmert in the late 80s," I answered. Then he

playfully announced, "Did you know he was personally responsible for

security at Logan and Newark Airports on 9/11?"

That I DIDN'T know. Here is Bollyn's report:

/OLMERT AND ATZMON /

/Olmert, who has long been tarnished by allegations of financial crimes,

was implicated in a financial scandal involving forged receipts for

donations to the 1988 Likud campaign, of which he was co-treasurer. This

affair culminated in the March 1996 conviction of three other Likudniks,

including Menahem Atzmon, the Likud treasurer. Olmert was also later

indicted in the Likud affair, but was acquitted. /

/During the 1970s Olmert had worked in the law firm owned by another

Atzmon, Uzi Atzmon. /

/Menahem Atzmon, convicted in Israel, went on to become the founder and

head of International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS), the

parent company of Huntleigh USA, the airport security firm that ran

passenger screening operations at the airports of Boston and Newark on

9/11. /

/Huntleigh USA is a wholly owned subsidiary of an Israeli company called

International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS) International

N.V., a Netherlands-based aviation and transportation security firm

headed by “former [Israeli] military commanding officers and veterans of

government intelligence and security agencies.” /

/Menachem Atzmon, convicted in Israel in 1996 for campaign finance

fraud, and his business partner Ezra Harel, took over management of

security at the Boston and Newark airports when their company ICTS

bought Huntleigh USA in 1999. UAL Flight 175 and AA 11, which allegedly

struck the twin towers, both originated in Boston, while UAL 93, which

purportedly crashed in Pennsylvania, departed from the Newark airport.

The convicted Israeli criminal Atzmon also controls and operates the

German port of Rostock on the Baltic Sea. /

/Some 9/11 victims’ families brought lawsuits against Huntleigh claiming

the security firm had been grossly negligent on 9-11. While these

relatives have a right to discovery and to know what Huntleigh did or

did not do to protect their loved ones on 9-11, Huntleigh, along with

the other security companies, was granted complete congressional

protection in 2002 and will not be called to account for its actions on

9-11 in any U.S. court. /

/Atzmon, a convicted criminal, political ally and co-defendant of

Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert, was directly responsible for

passenger and airline security at Boston's Logan Airport, whence the two

airliners which struck the World Trade Center originated.

/

/ /It was directly lifted from an earlier report by Anton Chaiken:/

/

/Menachem Atzmon resigned as president of Friedman's IDF following his

1996 conviction for Israeli election campaign finance fraud. But his

later U.S. activities would prove to be much more disturbing.

Atzmon and his business partner Ezra Harel are the majority owners (57%)

of ICTS—International Consultants on Targeted Security, run by "former

[Israeli] military commanding officers and veterans of government

intelligence and security agencies" according its Web site. In 1999,

Atzmon's Netherlands-based firm took over management of security at

Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, through ICTS' subsidiary

Huntleigh USA.

This convicted Likud criminal's firm was in charge of security at Logan

Airport—inspecting the validity of passports and visas, searching cargo,

screening passengers—when two airliners were hijacked from there on

Sept. 11, 2001, and demolished the World Trade Center towers in New York.

/And now the long forgotten scandal of the elections. Olmert was boosted

into power by Daniel Abraham, the Daniel Abraham of the Peres Peace

Center and partner of the now deceased Wayne Wayne Owens. It was Abraham

who purchased Olmert's Jerusalem apartment for twice its value and gave

Olmert an extra couple of million bucks to run for PM.

Someone thought that trying to knock me out permanently would do the

trick for the crooks running Israel. We'll see. On July 15, I will be

given a full 3 hours in Salt Lake City to, first expose Rabin and then

the murder of local Congressman Wayne Owens. Recall the Ginossar Scandal

and the $300 million Ginossar buried for Arafat in a Swiss bank account.

Recall that numerous straw companies were set up to hide the money's

source, and who was named their CEO? None other than Stephen Cohen,

Owens own partner in peace along with Peres, Abraham and the gang of

murderers for peace.



An Important Note from Prof. Steven  Jones
 

As most (if  not all) of you already know, Prof. Steven Jones is the BYU physicist who was  the first academic to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Twin Towers  were brought down with explosives. Prof. Jones, who’s co-chair (along with  Prof. James Fetzer) of Scholars For 9/11 Truth, copied for me on the following  recent email; it is self-explanatory ...  

Though it's very late, I'd like to share a few  thoughts before I retire.

1.  Evidently there are some who go to  considerable lenghts to promote the notion that there can never be "proof"  of an inside job on 9/11 -- whether that happened or not as an inside job.   So, we might as well abandon the effort, and let it go.

Others  (I have read) have pointed out this argument was used effectively to stymie  further investigation of the JFK assassination. I wonder how many "9/11  truthers" are buying into such a discouraging philosophy?


2.   Some OTOH raise the "preponderance of evidence" argument -- that will  stand in a court of law or impeachment, if we can ever get to such a trial.   This approach may work, given enough time and the opportunity for a  trial in an objective court.


3.  As a third altermative,   I'm seeking solid evidences that approach scientific proof.  And  I see three possible avenues here:

A.   The use of thermite in arson has been proven beyond  reasonable doubt in many cases already:  Fire investigators have  developed techniques to pin down the use of thermite, as I discussed in my  LA talk.  The signature residues of thermite are so distinctive --  when
one uses EDS, XRF and other methods -- that it is indeed possible  to prove arson by thermite
.  This gives me hope that this  approach can be effectively used to prove thermite use on 9/11.  (And  I deeply appreciate your help in this research effort!)

Note also  that while I'm leaning now to the use of thermite-containing sol-gels, it  is possible that cylinders containing thermite as you have found patents  for could have [also] been used.  Finding such a cylinder would indeed  be a dramatic proof in itself, I believe.

B.  Showing that the  Towers and/or WTC 7 would not have collapsed so rapidly  or in the way  they did, if fires alone had initiated
collapse.

Here the published  works of Prof. Kuttler and Gordon Ross (and others) are hopeful -- in that  their line of reasoning and calculations could very well lead to a  conclusion that deliberate actions would have been required to bring the  buildings down in the WAY THEY WERE OBSERVED TO COLLAPSE.

C.   Confession by an insider, particularly a high-up insider  with detailed insider information which could be checked, would end  the debate also.

D.  Another 9/11-type  "catalyzing event" may be staged by perpetrators, and with the number of  people aware of the likelihood of such staged events and WATCHING, it is  likely that the data will be gathered quickly and not effectively destroyed  this next time.  (I'm remembering here the way the steel  was shipped to Asia for recycling from the 9/11 events, for example) . In  this way, the perps would be stopped -- by observant citizens working  together.


So no, I do not accept the  defeatist arguments that the debate over 9/11 will never end.  Indeed,  I am inclined to believe, because of the progress lately in the areas  delineated above -- that the end of the debate will come rather soon.   I believe this will happen before the 2008 elections, if we keep  pressing forward as we have in recent
months, in the "9/11 Truth  Movement
."

My desire here is to encourage you to keep up the  investigative and highly supportive work that you have done, for which I  offer my deepest appreciation.
Best wishes and  regards,
Steven E. Jones

IF THE FBI CAN DO IT - WHO ELSE CAN DO IT??

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/432918p-364663c.html   New York Daily News - http://www.nydailynews.com Terror crew urged to hit FBI's bldgs.
BY JONATHAN LEMIRE
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Thursday, July 6th, 2006

An FBI informant urged seven terror suspects to target FBI offices throughout the country - including one in New York - and even helped the men scout the buildings, law enforcement sources told the Daily News yesterday.

The suspects, who also allegedly schemed to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago, were denied bond in a Miami federal court yesterday as sources shed light on the FBI effort to ensnare them.

Last December, the FBI arranged for an undercover informant posing as an Al Qaeda terrorist to meet with alleged ringleader Narseal Batiste, who authorities say had already recruited six men to help bring down the landmark 110-story Chicago office tower.

But in March, in an effort to solidify his "terrorist credentials," the informant suggested the men widen their aims to attack FBI offices in Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington and New York, a law enforcement source said.

Batiste and his followers readily agreed, even taking an Al Qaeda oath at the suggestion of the informant, Justice Department sources said. Soon, Batiste and the agent began a surveillance operation of the FBI office in Miami - while the bureau watched their every move, sources said.

"The FBI made sure the informant suggested Bureau buildings and not, say, airports, in order to maintain an element of control," said a law enforcement source. "The FBI knew exactly what was going on and was in complete control."

The terror suspects never performed reconnaissance on the Sears Tower or any other FBI office, including the one in lower Manhattan that was also targeted in a 1993 plot to blow up New York landmarks. They also never acquired any of the explosives to carry out their attacks, authorities said.


Zionists and 9/11 "BY WAY OF DECEPTION THOU SHALT DO
WAR"

by Harmon L. Taylor

Not to deny or abrogate any of the facts stated here, but simply to supplement them, all great "plans" have a "fall guy." Yes, there's a central motive force behind all of this. But to know that Israel, as the Anglo-Saxon people, is to know that they are their own worst enemies. And, they very well know how to keep the focus off the actual brains behind the operations.

One of the clearest connections with the jews is the fact that maybe one jew was killed in the 9-11 massacres. Maybe one. They "got the word" and were simply not in the WTC Towers that morning.

But, at the very same time, the French "got the word," for they had a film crew within a mile of the Towers and ever-so-conveniently had a perfect view of that first plane's going into that first Tower, and they ever-so-conveniently had the perfect equipment to do an instant zoom from street level 20-30 feet to Tower level, roughly a mile away, and they never lost focus during the zoom.

Who knows how the French gather their intelligence, and they may be just as likely to get word from Middle East based operations as operations based in London. But, where our news media refuse to cover the stories where the French and American agents spoil a British-agent plot to plant
explosives in a railroad in New York, as I barely recall the exact target, I'm much more inclined to think that the operations are planned "locally" rather than out of the Middle East.

Yes, jews are involved. But, so were "middle easterners" involved in the OKC Bombing, and that one was specifically designed and carried out by the Bush-Klinton cartel, in order to destroy (1) the Mena, Arkansas, drug trafficking investigation records stored in the Murrah Building, as well as (2) the Iran/Contra investigation records stored in the Murrah Building.

There need be only sufficient facts to give the false trail, and then the coverage to justify looking down that false trail. The jews are very capable when it comes to taking care of their own. We are always reminded of the raid on Entebbe. But, how in the world do they pull off the 9-11 massacre over American air space? They don't. "We" did it, and not for anything having to do with the "middle east," but rather (1) to reopen the opium trade in Afghanistan (because that's the "money" of the "new world order") and (2) other reasons we may not recognize for years to come, i.e., the international shift in the oil usage/trade, given all the construction/development in China. For example, a shift toward Euros and away from "dollars" have very, very little to do with "Israel."

Many buy into the "magician's distraction" of terrorists and Osama bin Laden and Hussein. Those who look beyond that veil may buy into the "magician's distraction" of  "the jews." If one is predisposed to find a problem with this or that group, then one will find a problem, whether it's there or not. And, what I'm suggesting is that while one can "make a case" for what's asserted here, it's also the reality that Jayna Davis, as just one of many, "made a case" for Iraqi involvement in the
OKC Bombing case. And, yet, that was simply a planned "rabbit trail." It was a "magician's distraction" built into the operation from the outset.

For so long as the mind may be fed false and distracting information which is accepted as credible, the mind isn't really investigating the case. It's just justifying a pre-conceived conclusion.

I see "jewish" involvement, but I see it as a planned distraction, just one more built-in rabbit trail for that group who are pre-disposed not to buy the "party line."

"Jews" aren't doing the moving and shaking for "israeli" interests in anything like the significance that Anglos are doing the moving and shaking for Anglo, "one world order" interests. Interests out of London are in the families who have been on the "let's own and control the world" binge for centuries. They've got "the plan" down to a science at this stage. For so long as the public buy into the "it's the foreigners who are doing it" motif, then the "locals" may continue unimpeded.

Editor's Note:The Wahabis (wä-hä'be)
Jocelyn Braddell
I personally think a lot about this terrible "Great War for Civilisation" and have almost completed reading Robert Fisk's book of that name. It seems to me that as the last century passed the Israelis realised that instability in the Saudi Arabian Royal family might bring back a very real threat to their existence - which is, by coincidence of the Israeli's foolish idea of anticipating the problem with action, now immeasurably enhanced. That threat is the resumption in strength of the Wahabi Arabs. They are ruthless in their violence and their numbers far out weigh any numbers that Israel can muster against them. Famous for some centuries for dominating the Arabian Peninsular, this possible resurrection, which sprang to life in full force during the Iraq/Iranian wars, seems to me to have been the principle reason why Israel increased their defences with every war-machine available and some inventions of their own which have been under experiment more or less secretly against the Palestinians during the last 30 years.

The English and French,we have to remember, established the Wahabis branched families as sovereigns in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq. These Wahabis in Iraq were thrown down by Saddam Hussein and favoured and controlled with his Baath Party, and that is one of the reasons that Saddam was so cruel, he had to perpetually be on his guard against the Sunni and the Shia inner conflicts. In compensation for their folly and cowardice the English have succumbed, since their preliminary adventures in the early 1900s in the Middle East, to the "Jewish" solution to their mounting problems - Jewish bankers paid for diversions, - so English fears that the Germans, the foremost "modern" nation in Europe, for instance, would accomplish successful treaties with these very Arabs, who had already revealed a desire for German military training camps, went to war in 1914 to put an end to that and other unwelcome German developments. The English were prepared to train the Ottoman aristocracy at their military institutions, but not the Arabs, not yet.

I continue first with a collage of material from the internet.



History from www.Answers.com :

Wahabi Sect was founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahab (c.1703–1791), Wahhabi mosques are simple and without minarets, and the adherents dress plainly and do not smoke tobacco or hashish. Driven from Medina for his preaching, the founder of the Wahhabi sect went into the NE Nejd and converted the Saud tribe. The Saudi sheik, convinced that it was his religious mission to wage holy war (jihad) against all other forms of Islam, began the conquest of his neighbors in c.1763. By 1811 the Wahhabis ruled all Arabia, except Yemen, from their capital at Riyadh. The Ottoman sultan, nominally suzerain over Arabia, had vainly sent out expeditions to crush them. Only when the sultan called on Egypt for aid did he meet success; by 1818 the Wahhabis were driven into the desert. In the Nejd the Wahhabis collected their power again and from 1821 to 1833 gained control over the Persian Gulf coast of Arabia. The domain thereafter steadily weakened; Riyadh was lost in 1884, and in 1889 the Saud family fled for refuge into the neighboring state of Kuwait. The Wahhabi movement was to enjoy its third triumph when it advanced from its capture of Riyadh in 1902 to the reconstitution in 1932 of nearly all the ancestral domain under the name Saudi Arabia, where it remains dominant. Wahhabism served as an inspiration to other Islamic reform movements from India and Sumatra to North Africa and the Sudan, and during the 20th cent. has influenced the Taliban of Aghanistan. In 1803, Saudis conquered Mecca and Medina and destroyed various shrines, such as the shrine built over the tomb of Fatima Zahra, the daughter of Muhammad. They also wanted to dismantle Muhammad's shrine as well but abandoned their plan. The Saudis held the two cities until 1817, until they were retaken by the Ottomans. In 1818, the Ottoman forces invaded Najd, captured the Saudi capital of Diriya and the Saudi emir He and his chief lieutenants were taken to Istanbul and beheaded. However, this did not end Wahhabism in Najd. The House of Saud returned to power in 1824. The state lasted until 1899, when it was overthrown by the Emir of Hayel, Mohammed Ibn Rasheed. Howeverthey reconquered Riyadh in 1902 and after a number of other conquests, founded the modern Saudi state, Saudi Arabia in 1932.
Hassan al-Banna, the Egyptian founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, is said to have been influenced by the Wahhabis The Muslim Brotherhood also claimed to be purifying and restoring original Islam. When the Muslim Brotherhood was banned in various Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia gave refuge to Brotherhood exiles. This seems to have set the stage for a mingling of Brotherhood and Wahhabi thought under the aegis of the term Salafism.

In essays and interviews, the great Middle Eastern historian, Albert Hourani (1915 – 93) repeatedly drew attention to the weakness of Oriental studies in Britain until the Second World War. Thereafter, for a variety of reasons, things changed for the better. One of the reasons standards of Orientalist scholarship markedly improved in Britain (and, of course, also in the United States) was the influx of Jewish and other anti-Nazi scholars in the 1930s and 1940s, bringing with them continental standards and techniques of scholarship. As Hourani put it, when remembering his friendship with Richard Walzer: ‘He also told me much about the central tradition of Islamic scholarship, that expressed in German.’ Samuel Stern made a similar impact on Hourani and on others who knew him in Oxford. Any serious history of academic Orientalism must take account of the diaspora of Jewish scholarship to Europe, the United States and what would eventually become the state of Israel.Robert Irwin

Also from the above source: In ‘“Jew” and Jesuit at the Origins of Arabism: William Gifford Palgrave’, Benjamin Braude is mainly concerned with Palgrave’s dissemination of the notions that the Jew and the Arab were natural allies and that the British could make use of those Arabs who were not Wahabis. Palgrave’s advocacy of an alliance with anti-Wahabi Arabs was influential and later came to be adopted by Hogarth and Lawrence.

The Wahabi militant Sunni movement dates from the mid 1700s when ibn Abd Al Wahab united Bedouins of the Arabian Peninsula with a call for Islamic re-purification. Jihad began in 1763 and by 1811, from their capital at Riyadh, under the command of their ruling family, the Sauds, the Wahabis controlled the entire Arabian Peninsula with the exception of Yemen. Within a decade the Ottomans had driven them back into the desert; however in 1900 the Wahabis recaptured Riyadh and never let go. Following World War I, when the League of Nations distributed the rest of the Arabic World among Britain, France and Russia, the Arabian Peninsula remained in control of the Saud family --and the Wahabi tribes. Despising the new Arabic "nations" and their leaders no less than they despised Europeans, in 1932 Saudi Arabia nevertheless accepted formal recognition as an Islamic monarchy --the only new Arabic state never to be a protectorate of Europeans. It was also the only Arabic state disinterested in achieving status as a nation, disgusted with its neighbors' willingness to do so, and neutral in response to the establishment of Israel.Richard Labeviere

Labeviere describes how step by step the CIA assisted the Wahabis in their mission, never doubting their ability to control the process in such fashion that only the destabilization of Arab nationalism but not the creation of a new extremist Arabia would be achieved. Money, much more than religious fanaticism was the bonding agent used to create the world's newest and most terrifying "mafia." Through the creation of a financial empire of incredible sophistication --the achievement primarily of Osama Bin Laden --an extremist yet opportunistic network of terror emerged. Covertly committed to Wahabi ideals, yet hungering for wealth and power, this mafia enabled the CIA-Wahabi to recruit train and reward terrorist organizations throughout the entire Islamic world. Their first major accomplishment was assisting the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt to undermine Nasser, whose pan-Arabic nationalism was anathema to the Wahabis and whose flirtation with Russia was unacceptable to the CIA. Subsequently, the CIA-Wahabis mobilized extremists in Pakistan, created the Taliban movement, established extremist sects in Pakistan, Algeria, Yemen, Indonesia, the Philippines, and elsewhere, and established organized-criminal financial centers in Malaysia, Madagascar, South Africa, Nigeria, Latin American, Switzerland, England, Turkestan, and elsewhere. Of crucial importance was that Iran's potential to create its own pan-Arabic organization was virtually nullified by CIA-Wahabi gamesmanship. Labeviere identifies key operatives in each Moslem country and describes their strategies.DWeiner


It is certainly the religious rivalry between the Wahabi Sunni Arabs and the Iranian Shiite Arabs that personifies the terrible events in Iraq and we have to ask ourselves how the Israelis really thought to benefit from this inevitable outcome of an invasion of Iraq. Already two terrible wars were fought on that front between Iraq and Iran and today it would appear that the next idea is to spread this futile animosity and violence into Iran and Syria. Does Israel think that they will benefit out of this because America and England will force a European solution on the Arabs as they did, or as the English did, with the Ottomans?

However, my theory is that it is the great fear that the Israelis have of this Arabic schism that has really provoked the entire historic scenario of their quest for and their success in receiving support as a developed military nation par excellence by America and England. Thus thousands of Jews are dependant and dependance breeds certain reactions - the Jews of Israel and all their Jewish supporters throughout the diaspora hate their situation. They have succeeded now in causing a new schism which is the outlook, world-wide, for and against the Arabs - as Arabs merely, not as Sunni and Shia within another conflict that we scarce understandand; also a duplicate scenario for and against the Jews. Quite how the Jewish fools that dominate the Republican and Democrat politicians in America thought that they only had to please the desires of "Arabs" in order to disabuse Israel and stem a chaos that is now nothing to do with the Palestinians, but everything to do with the Jewish treatment of their colonial victims, we can only guess. A refusal to learn of or understand history, a refusal to experience history.

To explain stupidity it is easy to detest the Jews who have forced this guilty material upon us all - but we see that the "governments" of our nations, European anyway, have no single qualm in supporting America, in the senseless belief that arms and bombs win wars. A senseless trauma from a century of European brutality also prevails in both America and England, "nations"who like undisciplined kids unobserved (by secrecy) trick and treat their victims to every violence from the dictionary. We, the public,do not experience history either, at the moment, and the internet, though many of us struggle valiantly with the enemy of our own minds as Neitzsche advised, provides a senseless whirlwind of theories of which mine, in paragraphs of my own common sense, becomes engulfed...................................?
