The San Francisco Chronicle commemorated the 100th anniversary of
The Great Quake of 1906 with a series of front page articles headed
by a single icon-a charred clock frozen at 5:12 a.m., the exact
moment "The Big One"hit(1). A century after that devastating event,
the stopped clock serves as both the ultimate evidence and the
symbol that "captures it all."

Again, almost 100 years later, clocks frozen in time at the Pentagon
on the morning of September 11, 2001 both "capture it all" and are
the ultimate evidence that shatters the "Official Lie" of what
happened that terrible morning.

The Pentagon was first attacked at 9:32 a.m., much earlier than the
9/11 Commission and official cover story claim. (In this summary
of evidence, the more precise time of 9:31:40 a.m. is "rounded up"
for ease of reference.)

The Pentagon and mainstream media first reported 9:45 as the time
of alleged Flight 77 impact (some reports, presumably taken from
official sources, were as late as 9:48 and 9:47). Over time, the
time given by officials for the claimed outside impact on the
building has been moved earlier and earlier, down to 9:37 (as of
the time of this writing), but has never come close to the actual
time of the first violent event at the Pentagon-9:32. Obviously,
if the official story that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon at 9:37 is
true, Flight 77 could not have been the source of massive damage
in the west side of the building five minutes earlier at 9:32.

Converging Lines of Proof of a 9:32 Violent Event at the Pentagon
on Sept. 11.

Multiple standard-issue, battery-operated wall clocks on the walls
of the area of the Pentagon attacked on9/11-including one in the
heliport just outside the west face-were stopped between 9:31 and
9:32-1/2 by a violentevent, almost certainly a bomb or bombs inside
the building and/or in a truck parked outside the west face. The
first Associated Press report stated that the Pentagon had been
damaged by a "booby trapped truck." The Navy posted thestopped
heliport clock on an official website and another of the stopped
clocks is in the 9/11 display at the Smithsonian Institution.(2)
These are just some of the west section Pentagon clocks that stopped
between 9:31 and 9:32-1/2.

The FAA's [Federal Aviation Administration] timeline document
"Executive Summary--Chronology of a Multiple Hijacking Crisis
--September 11, 2001" reads: "0932: ATC (Air Traffic Control) AEA
reports aircraft crashes into west side of Pentagon."(3) The time
is the critical fact here, not the claimed cause. Denmark's soon-to-be
Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller was in a building in Washington,
D.C. on 9/11 fromwhich he looked out, heard the explosion and saw
the smoke first rise from the Pentagon. He immediately looked at
his watch, which read 9:32 a.m. He gave radio interviews in Denmark
the next morning in which he stated that the Pentagon had been
attacked at 9:32.(4)

On August 27, 2002, then White House Counsel and now Attorney General
Alberto Gonzales gave theSecretary of the Navy lecture at the Naval
Postgraduate School in which Gonzales explicitly and clearly states
that "The Pentagon was attacked at 9:32". This tape was played at
the 9/11 Emergency Truth Convergence at American University in
Washington, D.C. in July, 2005.

The Pentagon was attackedby bomb(s)at 9:32 a.m., apparently followedby
an impact from an airborne object significantly smaller than Flight
77.

I have interviewed an Army auditor from Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey,
who was on temporary duty assignmentat the Pentagon before, on and
after 9/11. He was in the Army financial management spaces only
minutes before the Pentagon explosion on the morning of 9/11. He
had just returned to his temporary office on the ground floor of
the adjacent south side of the Pentagon by the cafeteria when he
heard an explosion and felt the building shake. Immediately afterwards,
hundreds of panicked Pentagon personnel ran by him down the corridor
just outside his office and out the South Entrance, yelling "Bombs!"
and "A bomb went off!" The witness has requested that his name not
be used in this summary, but is willing to testify to a grand jury
or independent official investigation.

This Army financial management/audit area is part of, or contiguous
to, the Army personnel offices, which was one of two main west
section offices heavily destroyed in the Pentagon attack, the other
being the NavalCommand Center. The day before 9/11, Sept. 10,
Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld held a press conference at which he
acknowledged that the Pentagon was "missing"-could not account for
and needed to "find"-$2.3 Trillion dollars.Were the auditors who
could "follow the money," and the computers whose data could help
them do it, intentionallytargeted? It is worth noting that Dov
Zakheim, the Pentagon's comptroller -- Rumsfeld's top financial
officer -- at the time who also acknowledged the "missing" trillions,
had a company that specializes in aircraft remote-control technology.
As remnants found in the Pentagon wreckage have been identified as
the front-hub assembly of the front compressor of an JT8D turbojet
engine used in the A-3 Sky Warrior jet fighter(5), and as Air Force
A-3 Sky Warriors-normally piloted planes-were secretly retrofitted
to be remote-controlled drones and fitted with missiles in a highly
compartmented operation at Ft. Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport
in Colorado in the months before 9/11(6), the question further
arises as to whether Pentagon auditors and their computerized data
were intentionally targeted on9/11.

The Ft. Monmouth Army auditor and his two colleagues were also
eyewitnesses to multiple teams of bomb-sniffing dogs and their K-9
handlers in camouflage uniform at the Pentagon metro station just
outside the Pentagon atapproximately 7:30 a.m. on 9/11. He said
that K-9 bomb squads had not been at the Pentagon metro stop before
9/11,or since, but only that day. Since K-9 dog squads don't usually
search for airliners, but bombs, a bomb attack was clearly anticipated.

Survivor eyewitnesses from inside the west section of the Pentagon
reported that the blast caused its windows first to expand outwards,
and then inwards.(7)

Multiple witnesses said they smelled cordite after the explosion
at the Pentagon, an explosive which has a distinct smell very
different from that of burning jet fuel.(8)

Even Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld told Sam Donaldson in an ABC
News interview shortly after 9/11 that he first thought a bomb had
gone off in the building. Donaldson: "What did you think it was?"
Rumsfeld: "A bomb? I had no idea."

It is important to note that bomb explosion(s) at 9:32 a.m. on the
ground floor of the west section of the Pentagon are not inconsistent
with there having also been a later-or even near-simultaneous-impact
by a pilotedplane, unmanned drone, or missile into the same or
nearby section of the building, which may be the cause of thecollapse
of the wall approximately 20 minutes after the initial violent
event. Indeed, if a heat-seeking missile hit the building after the
bombs went off, the heat from the explosion(s) would become the
target for the missile. Recall that the A-3 Sky Warriors were
retrofitted shortly before 9/11 not only to be remotely controlled,
but also fitted with missiles. The round-shaped exit hole in the
inner wall of the "C" Ring is evidence that a missile or a piloted
or pilot-less remote-controlled plane significantly smaller than
Flight 77 also struck the building subsequent to bombs going off,
penetrated the inside of the third ring, as bomb detonations would
not have resulted in such a near symmetricalround-shaped opening.

I have interviewed the then Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Special Operations on 9/11, Robert Andrews-the top civilian
official in charge of special operations under Secretary of Defense
Rumsfeld-a former Green Beret and whose office was on the second
floor of the South section of the Pentagon, adjacent to the West
section. While drawing the path that he took that morning on a
sketch of the Pentagon, he revealed the following:

Immediately after the second World Trade Center attack of 9:03 a.m.,
Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld left his office on the Potomac side
of the Pentagon and went (merely) across the hall on the same floor
to his Executive Support Center (ESC), which is set up for
teleconferencing. There, he joined the teleconference of top
governmentofficials run by Richard Clarke out of the White House
Situation Room media room. Clarke, in his book Against All Enemies,
confirmed that Rumsfeld was among the first officials on this
teleconference shortly after the second WTC tower was hit. Andrews'
confirmation of Clarke's account is completely at odds with the
official cover story and the 9/11 Commission, which claim that no
one could locate Rumsfeld until approximately10:30 a.m. when he
walked into the National Military Command Center (NMCC). The fact
that Rumsfeld, the military's top civlian official, was on Clarke's
teleconference with the top official of the FAA, Director Jane
Garvey, also puts the complete lie to the official cover story that
interceptors weren't scrambled in time because the military and FAA
"couldn't talk each other" on the morning of 9/11. The top-most
officials of the Pentagon and FAA were talking to one another
constantly on Clarke's teleconference from as early as 9:15. This
taped Clarke teleconference is the "Butterfield tape" of 9/11.
[During the 1970s Watergate scandal, secretly-made tapes of President
Nixon's Oval Office conversations revealed by presidential tape
supervisor Alexander Butterfield were the "smoking guns" which
forced Nixon to resign or face certain impeachment and trial in the
Senate.]

Immediately after the second WTC tower was struck at 9:03 a.m.,
Andrews and his aide left his office and ran asfast as they could
down to the Secretary of Defense's West section basement
Counterterrorism Center (CTC), beneath the ground-level location of the
violent event in the building that morning, arriving at approx. 9:10.
While he and his aide were in this west side basement CTC, a violent
event caused the ceiling tiles to fall off the ceiling and smoke to pour
into the room. Andrews immediately looked at his watch, which read
approximately 9:35 a.m. but which was setfast to ensure timely
arrivals at meetings, so the actual time was closer to 9:32. He and
his aide then immediately evacuated the CTC with the goal of joining
Rumsfeld in his Executive Support Center (ESC) across the hall from
Rumsfeld's main office. Rumsfeld was already on the White House
teleconference when they arrived. En route toRumsfeld's ESC, Andrews
said when he and his aide entered the corridor on the inside ring
of the West section, "we had to walk over dead bodies" to get to
the inner courtyard. (Note: This is two rings further in towards
the center fromthe inner most hole made by whatever impacted the
Pentagon that morning.)

Once in the inner courtyard, Andrews and his aide ran as fast as
they could to Rumsfeld's Executive Support Center, where he joined
Rumsfeld as his special operations/counterterrorism adviser for
Clarke's White Houseteleconference. Andrews also said that Secretary
of Defense Rumsfeld talked with President Bush while in the Pentagon
Executive Support Center. Whether this was via the teleconference
or by phone or other means was not stated. The fact that Rumsfeld
personally communicated with Bush while Rumsfeld was in his Pentagon
ESC has been published on anofficial DoD web site.(9)

WTC janitor William Rodriquez, the last person to leave the WTC
alive on 9/11, has testified that he was in the firstbasement level
of the WTC when an immense explosion went off below him in the
yet-deeper subbasement level(s) of the building a few seconds before
the plane hit the tower high above.(10)Robert Andrews revealed that
the west side basement level of the Pentagon was damaged at approx.
9:32 a.m. and as we know that the cause of the 9:32 Pentagon attack
was not an impact event but explosives, there are thus eye- and ear
witness reports of bombs damaging both the Pentagon and the WTC
underground level(s) before both buildings were hit from the outside.

As no "outside terrorist", al-Qaeda or otherwise, could have had
access to the Pentagon or the sustained advance access needed to
pre-place explosives inside the WTC, only domestic insiders could
have placed explosives in both the Pentagon and the WTC.

Further, because the WTC deep-basement explosions(s) happened before
the Tower was hit by a plane; and as any incoming plane not controlled
by the same party that triggered the sub-basement detonation(s)
could have veered off fromthe building at the last second ruining
the plane-impact-as-cover-story for the later collapse of the
buildings; and as the deep sub-basement explosions were necessary
for the later collapse of the buildings by controlled demolition,
the same domestic-U.S. insider party had to have controlled both
the sub-basement detonations and the incoming plane(s). Thus, even
if al-Qaeda hijackers were on the incoming planes, they were not
in final control of the impact of the planes into the buildings,
which had to have been guaranteed by domestic/U.S. insider controllers
to ensure the sub-basement bombs didn't go off prematurely and
destroy the plane impact cover story.

Because the real modus operandi at the Pentagon and WTC are so
similar, it is logical to deduce that the samedomestic-U.S. terrorists
were responsible for placing and detonating bombs-both inside the
WTC and inside the Pentagon. That is, a single group of U.S.-domestic
conspirators-not al-Qaeda or any other outside terrorists-must have
planned both the WTC and Pentagon attacks and controlled both the
approaching planes and the inside-the-building explosions in realtime
on 9/11.

In addition to the already-well-known evidence that Flight 77 did
not hit the Pentagon, i.e. the small hole in the west side of the
Pentagon being not nearly large enough for Flight 77's fuselage,
let alone wing width; no damage to the lawn where Flight 77 allegedly
struck and skidded before hitting the building; wrecked plane parts
at the site being identified as being froman A-3 Sky Warrior, a far
smaller plane than that of Flight 77; requests to TV media on the
morning of 9/11 not to take up-close images, etc.-there is also
official evidence that Flight 77 did not hit the building:

In the Air Force's own account of the events of 9/11, Air War Over
America, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) general
who finally ordered interceptor jets scrambled on 9/11, although
too late, revealedthat he ordered one of his jets to fly down low
over the Pentagon shortly after the attack there that morning, and
that this pilot reported back that there was no evidence that a
plane had hit the building. NORAD Gen. Larry Arnold said this
fighterjet-not Flight 77-is almost certainly the plane seen on the
Dulles airport Air Traffic Controller's screen making a steep,
high-speed 270-degree descent before disappearing from the radar.
[When a plane flies low enough to be undetected, it is called being
"under the radar."]

Military pilots-like the pilot sent by Gen. Arnold on 9/11 to report
on the Pentagon's damage-are trained to fly 500 feet above ground
in order to evade radar detection. In fact, when the Air Traffic
Controller and her colleagues watched the extremely difficult
270-degree flight maneuver on her screen, they were certain that
the plane whose blip they were watching perform this extremely
difficult maneuver was a U.S. military aircraft, and said so at the
time. It almost certainly was.

Thus, the likely reason the Pentagon has refused to lower the current
official time of "Flight 77" impact from 9:37 to9:32 a.m.-the actual
time of the first explosions there-is that they decided to pretend
the blip represented by Arnold'ssurveillance jet approaching just
before 9:37 was "Flight 77". As the official cover story claims
that the alleged 9:37 impact was the only Pentagon attack that
morning, and by the time Arnold's surveillance jet arrived on the
scene the violent event had already happened, the Pentagon cannot
acknowledge the earlier 9:32 time without revealing an attack on
the building prior to impact.

It is significant that the The 9/11 Commission Report ignores the
testimony of Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta to its own
commission and did this only for the testimony of Secretary Mineta.
The clear reason for this blatant and targeted censorship is that
Mineta's eyewitness testimony is extremely dangerous to the official
cover story.The portion of Mineta's testimony that is particularly
dangerous is his claim that Vice President Cheney, in charge in the
Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) beneath the White
House since before Mineta arrived in the PEOCat 9:20, insisted to
an incredulous "young man" that "the orders (given earlier by Cheney
to this same individual) still stand" when the man told Cheney that
the presumed plane they had been tracking as a blip on a screen was
50, then 30, and finally just 10 miles from Washington-orders which
could only have been to not shoot down the plane. Otherwise there
would have been no reason for the agent to ask Cheney if they "still"
stood, despite the plane's being almost upon the Capital where
Cheney himself was. This is critical because of the timing that can
be inferred from Mineta's testimony: As Mineta arrived at the PEOC
at 9:20 a.m., and as Mineta estimated the "still stand?" interaction
betweenCheney and the agent happened 5 to 6 minutes after that, or
about 9:25, it can be inferred based on the officially given speed
of the plane represented by the blip of 540 mph that whatever that
fast-approaching blip represented, it arrived inthe vicinity of the
Pentagon at approximately 9:32-nowhere close to the original official
cover story time of 9:45, or even the eight-minute-earlier time the
Pentagon finally settled on for an impact time of 9:37.

All of this also happened at 9:32:

After an inexplicable delay during which they knew that both WTC
towers were under attack, the Secret Service suddenly acts as if
the attacks are "real," rushing President Bush out of the library
at the Florida school where he had been reading to children.

Firefighters are ordered out of WTC 1.

The New York Stock Exchange is ordered closed.

The takeover of Flight 93 begins with the stabbing of a flight
attendant and one of the hijackers announcing that there is a bomb
on board, picked up by flight controllers.

Other relevant interviews:

I interviewed the famous "lone taxi driver" whose cab is the only
car visible still parked on I-395 above the Pentagon lawn looking
down at the West face after all the other cars have left the freeway.
This taxi can be seen in overhead photos taken on the morning of
9/11 and viewable on the Internet. The driver said his was the last
car allowed onto that section of I-395 before police put up a
barricade and that he decided not to immediately leave the scene
like the others "because I realized this was history and I wanted
to see for myself." He stated that he saw no evidence of a planehaving
impacted the building nor any visible plane pieces on the lawn at
the time he arrived, which was after the first violent event in the
building, as black smoke was streaming up and to the right from
inside-the-building fires. The taxicab driver drew a diagram of
what he saw that morning while overlooking the Pentagon's west face
from I-395.

I interviewed a Navy public affairs officer assigned to the Naval
Command Center, one of the two major Pentagon West section areas
destroyed on 9/11, the other being the Army Personnel / Financial
Management/Auditarea as mentioned earlier. This officer was not in
the building that morning but was quickly assigned as the deputy
public affairs officer at the underground "back-up Pentagon" location
in Pennsylvania close to the Maryland border, Site R. This eyewitness
Navy officer inside Site R said Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul
Wolfowitz and later Vice President Cheney were flown to the Site R
underground bunker in response to Richard Clarke's officially
declaring "Continuity of Government/Continuity of Operations"
(COG/COOP) on the morning of 9/11. This is confirmed inClarke's
book, Against All Enemies, in which he reports that Rumsfeld chose
Wolfowitz to be the designatedCOG/COOP official at Site R in his
stead. Perhaps significantly Site R and Camp David are not far from
the crash site of Flight 93. Details about Site R, on and after
9/11, are also in James Bamford's book, A Pretext for War.

On Feb. 4, 2004, I interviewed General Ralph Eberhart, Commander
of NORAD on 9/11. To my knowledge, Gen. Eberhart has granted no
other interview since the events of Sept. 11. Before asking questions,
I gave Gen. Eberhartcopies of all the mainstream press articles
published as of that date on the subject of the confusion of his
NORAD Northeast Sector (NEADS) personnel who were running NORAD's
"Vigilant Guardian/Vigilant Warrior" emergency response war game
exercises that morning.(11)As of the date of the interview, therefore,
the then head of NORAD was made aware of the early confusion caused
by his own NEADS "game" players on the morning of 9/11 due to
incomingexercise reports and incoming reports of the actual hijack
attacks.

I first asked Gen. Eberhart if there was any connection between
NORAD's "Vigilant Guardian/VigilantWarrior" exercise being run that
morning and the plane-crashing-into-tower emergency response exercise
simultaneously being held at National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)
headquarters outside Washington, D.C. He replied, "No." I was
surprised as a large portion of NRO personnel are from the Air
Force, his own agency. I asked for reconfirmation, to which he again
said, "No." Laying the ground for the next question, I mentioned
the fact that "game" director Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins had said that
she was confused as to whether initial reports of the hijacked
planes on the morning of 9/11 were "for real" or "part of the game."
This showed that the NORAD exercises that morning had tohave been
concerning a hijack scenario at least similar to that of the actual
attacks. Otherwise, there would have been nogrounds for confusion.
Considering this information, Gen. Eberhart refused to answer any
further questions and abruptly ended the interview.

In addition to the already well known and officially acknowledged
evidence of Bush Administration foreknowledge of the broad outlines
of the Sept. 11 attacks-advance warnings from the intelligence
agencies of as many as 11 foreign countries, the content of the
now-famous Aug. 6, 2001 presidential daily brief (whose 10-page
attachment still has not been made public), etc.-there are three
converging lines of evidence that Bush Administration insiders had
near perfect-if not complete-advance knowledge of both the details
and the date of the Sept. 11 attack:

(Note: The idea that Bush Administration insiders had advance
knowledge of the details and the date of an"outside" attack is not
inconsistent with U.S. insiders having facilitated and even
orchestrated the attacks. The plot behind the attacks of Sept. 11
is similar to that of the Reichstag fire, which aided Hitler to
rapidly consolidate power - that is, like the Nazi-facilitated
Reichstag fire, there was a real though-unlikely-to-succeed "outside"
plot to which Administration insiders gained intelligence. They
then secretly protected and enabled this plot to ensure that it not
onlysucceeded, but succeeded spectacularly as the Psychological
Operation needed to justify the entire subsequent Bush-Cheney
Administration global and domestic agenda.)

1)

Shortly after Sept. 11, Newsweek reported that before 9/11, the
Bush Administration initiated a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act (FISA) Court surveillance/tap of "up to 20" suspected
al-Qaeda-linked terrorists" then in the U.S., but that then FISA Court
Chief Justice Royce Lamberth subsequently ordered the
then-already-ongoing surveillance stopped. This can only mean one
thing-that the Bush Justice Dept./FBI/NSA had initiated the tapbefore
asking the FISA Court for a warrant for it, as with the now-famous
post-9/11 NSA taps initiated by the Bush Administration without first
applying for FISA warrants.

As "up to 20" is a clever way of saying "19" without making the
link to 9/11 explicit, the Bush Administration Justice Dept/FBI/NSA
almost certainly initiated surveillance of all 19, or close to all
19, of the soon-to-be 9/11 hijackers before 9/11. Though Judge
Lamberth ordered the surveillance ended once the Administration
filed the formal warrant application, there is evidence that the
Bush Administration ignored his order to cease the tap and continued
the surveillance of the 9/11 hijackers up to and including the day
of 9/11.

Zacharias Moussaoui-the only person indicted by the Bush Administration
for anything even related to 9/11-has stated in court filings that
both he "and my (al-Qaeda) brothers" then in the U.S. were surveilled
by the Bush Administration before 9/11 and that the Bush Administration
knows he can prove it. How could this be the case? If Moussaoui was
one of the "up to 20" al-Qaeda-linked terrorist suspects surveilled
before 9/11 without anadvance FISA warrant as reported by Newsweek,
then Moussaoui was also one of the "up to 20" whose taps Judge
Lamberth had ordered stopped. Moussaoui, after all, was originally
named as the "20th hijacker" of the 9/11 plot.Amazingly, the FISA
Act requires that, if the FISA Court rejects a surveillance initiated
before a warrant has been applied for, as in this case, the court
has to inform the "target" of the surveillance and give him the
government's stated reason in the surveillance application for the
tap. Moussaoui says that he can "prove" the BushAdministration/FBI
initiated surveillance on him before 9/11 because, it can be deduced,
the FISA Court itself told him so after Lambergh ordered his - and
those of the other "up to 20" - surveillance ended.

If this is the case, it opens the very real possibility that the
FISA Court likewise informed most or all 19 of the "up to 20" 9/11
hijackers before 9/11 that they were being surveilled by the Bush
Administration-and the reason for such surveillance. This also
throws new light on the claims by the Pentagon's then-secret data
mining task force, "Able Danger," to have tracked lead 9/11 hijacker
Mohammed Atta and at least four of the other 19 hijackers beginning
in January, 2000, when Atta actually did enter the country according
to Daniel Hopsicker in his book, Welcome to Terrorland. The FBI
falsely claimed, and still falsely claims, that Atta did not enter
the U.S. until the summer of 2000, six months later. The likely
reason for this intentional lie about when Atta first enteredthe
country is what Atta is known to have done while inside the U.S.
between January and the Summer of 2000. Hopsicker reveals that,
among other activities, Atta visited Portland, Maine, in March,
2000, and perhaps even earlier. An abiding "mystery" of the official
cover story is why would Atta drive to Portland, Maine, on Sept.
10,the day before 9/11, then fly from Portland to Boston early on
the morning of Sept. 11. The answer to this "mystery," which the
FBI clearly already knows, is the link between what Atta was doing
in Portland, before the administration wants to admit he was in the
country as well as what he was doing there the day before 9/11 and
early on the morning of 9/11. This all may have something to do
with the fact that special-and sometimes secret-CIA flights are run
out of an airport in Portland, Maine.12

2)

The FBI's top bin Laden/al-Qaeda hunter until shortly before 9/11,
John O'Neill, "happened" to be at the same hotel in the same town
near Tarragona, Spain in mid-July 2001 just before lead hijacker
Mohammed Atta and 9/11 plot "coordinator" Ramzi Binalshibh met there
for what the Kean Commission calls the "final 9/11 planning meeting."
(Some Bush Administration officials now also believe that 9/11
"mastermind" Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) was at this critical meeting
as well.) This cannot be-and is not-a coincidence. O'Neill, who was in
close contact with German intelligence-recall that Atta led the "German
cell" for the 9/11 attacks-and Spanish intelligence, had clearly been
alerted to the upcoming meeting and was at the hotel to
surveil/tap/bugthe room where the meeting was about to be held. O'Neill
and his agency, the Bush Administration's FBI, thus knew every detail,
or almost every detail, of the planned 9/11 plot at least two months in
advance.

Perhaps as significantly, European media reported that bin Laden
was in an American hospital in Dubai for surgery in early July 2001
and would have likely been recuperating and incapacitated there at
the time of the "final 9/11 Planning Meeting" in Spain a few days
later. Reportedly, bin Laden was also visited in the hospital by
the area's then CIA Station chief. The question naturally arises
as to whether bin Laden was telephoned by Atta, Binalshibh, and
perhaps also KSM, or visa versa, while the latter were at the "Final
9/11 Planning Meeting" in the hotel that O'Neill had pre-bugged.
If so, then O'Neill, the FBI, and the highest levels of the
BushAdministration-including O'Neill's then boss, Attorney General
Ashcroft who suddenly stopped flying commercial aircraft about this
time-knew not only every detail of the 9/11 plot as of that date,
but almostcertainly also all the key "outside" conspirators plotting
their "final plans" including possibly bin Laden himself, on
tape-obviously another "Butterfield" tape to be demanded under
subpoena.

3)

As noted above, on 9/11 itself the U.S. military was conducting
NORAD/Air Force emergency response exercises with scenarios of
multiple hijacks and the NRO was conducting an emergency response
exercise on the scenario of a plane crashing into one of the towers
at its headquarters just outside Washington, D.C.11- many NRO
personnel being from the Air Force. It is next to impossible for
this to have been the case unless the exercises, also referred to
by the 9/11 truth community as war games, were intentionally scripted
to mirror what had been learned from the above-mentioned detailed
advance intelligence. The purpose of the war games held on9/11 was
to practice how to defend against the very attacks that John O'Neill's
Tarragona meeting surveillance, the Pentagon's "Able Danger"
data-mining tracking, and the FBI's FISA-warrant-less surveillance
of the "up to 20" ("19"?) suspected al-Qaeda terrorists had already
revealed. You don't practice something in a multi-million-dollar
set of exercises that you "can't imagine." The date for the actual
attacks-Sept. 11-was then chosen to coincide with the Pentagon's
exercises, which in turn mirrored the real attack plans.

Perhaps the most burning data point to prove Bush Administration
complicity is the fact that leadhijacker Mohammed Atta took to the
mid-July "final 9/11 planning meeting" in Spain the information
that"the date has been set" (i.e. set by someone else, other than
Atta), and that he, Atta, didn't yet know it, but would "know it"
in five to six weeks or by late August, 2001.(13)Atta is clearly
waiting to learn the date of "his own"attack. This last piece of
the puzzle fell into place during the first phase of Zacarias
Moussaoui's sentencing trial. It was found in the 58-page transcript
of 9/11"mastermind" Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's interrogation"testimony"
read into the trial record by the Bush Administration prosecution.
In the KSM transcript, it is revealed that bin Laden and KSM "allowed
Atta to choose" both the final targets for the attacks and the
attackdate."(14)From this, therefore, we know that neither bin Laden
nor "mastermind" KSM nor "coordinator"Binalshibh set the Sept. 11
attack date. However, from what Atta said to Binalshibh - and
probably also KSM and possibly also bin Laden by phone link - at
the "Final Planning Meeting" in Spain, we also know that neither
did Atta. Atta was waiting to learn the date of his "own" attack,
and that date didn't come from any of his al-Qaeda superiors. It
must be the case then that, despite KSM's claim that he "let" Atta
choose the date, none of the top"outside terrorist" conspirators
set the date for the Sept. 11 attacks, including Atta.

The key and central fact of the entire 9/11 plot is that the attack
date Atta was "waiting for" was the dateof the Bush Administration's
planned war games, which, in a vicious circle, were scripted to
mirror the content of Atta's attack plan gleaned via advance
intelligence obtained from O'Neill's surveillance of the "final
planningmeeting" near Tarragona, the Pentagon's "Able Danger"
tracking of Atta and, and the FBI's warrant-less surveillance of
Atta and other of the about-to-be hijackers. Atta was thus the sole
individual to whom the date the Bush Administration finally chose
for its war games was leaked as soon as it was selected and he
bought his one-way ticket as soon as he learned it, in late August,
2001, just as he had predicted at the "final planning meeting" near
Tarragona. The Number One Bush Administration insider conspirator,
therefore, is whoever gave the Administration's own war game scenario
details and date to Mohammed Atta.

Lt. Gen. Mahmoud Ahmed, as the head of Pakistan's military intelligence
agency ISI, ordered $100,000 wired to Atta shortly before 9/11. On
the morning of 9/11, he was having breakfast with future CIA Director
Porter J. Goss and the senator who co-chaired the joint House/Senate
9/11 "investigation" following the attacks. And as Gen. Ahmed was
in Washington in the three days leading up to 9/11 meeting with CIA
Director George Tenet and top officials at the Pentagon, which was
about to conduct the war games, Gen. Ahmed is the top candidate for
the "middle man" who was told the date and details of the Pentagon's
emergency response exercises and communicated them, directly or
through an intermediary, to Atta. Atta then confirmed the 9/11 date
for the war games-which was the date of the attacks-in his now-famous
NSA-intercepted phone call with KSM of Sept. 10, in which he related,
"The Match is about to begin. Zero hour is tomorrow." "Match" is a
way of saying "test exercise" or "war game." This intercept almost
certainly was made without an advance FISA warrant.

One of the abiding "mysteries" of Sept. 11 is why Gen. Eberhart,
the commander of NORAD on 9/11, claimedto the 9/11 Commission that
on the morning of 9/11 NORAD was conducting, among others, a
preplanned "Soviet-era" emergency response exercise(15)in which
U.S. fighter jets were to defend against Russian nuclear bombers.
After all, the Soviet Union had ceased to exist ten years before.
He didn't say "Russian," he said "Soviet". This is very strange
until one discovers that, despite repeated official and media claims
that Sept. 11 was "completely unique" and that the skies over America
had "never before" been cleared of all commercial and private
civilian aircraft, NORAD had conducted another emergency response
exercise 40 years earlier, which completely cleared the skies over
the mainland U.S. This was on Oct. 14, 1961, in a war game called
"Sky Shield II", which was based on a scenario of how to defend
against an air attack by Soviet bombers on New York City.(16)The
main difference between the 1961 exercise and Sept. 11 is that the
clearing of the skies was announced in advance to the public in
"Sky Shield". This original Soviet-era exercise, which included
1,800 U.S. and 15 Canadian military planes and was billed as "the
greatest exercise ever conducted by Western air-defense forces,"
is mentioned in the Air Force's own account of the events of Sept.
11, Air War Over America. In fact, Gen. LarryArnold, NORAD's commander
for the continental U.S. on 9/11 directly under Eberhart who finally
ordered interceptor jets scrambled to belatedly meet the hijack
threat, made a point of including the eerily similar 1961 Air Force
war game in the book. Not only did both the 1961 and Sept. 11 NORAD
"Soviet-era" war game scenarios include attacks on New York City;
in the 1961 exercise, U.S. military planes played the role of Soviet
attack bombers. That is, the U.S. military pre-scripted both the
defense and the "attack" by its own planes pretending to be Soviet
aircraft. If Gen. Eberhart's testimonyto the 9/11 Commission is
correct, NORAD may have been conducting a "Soviet-era" exercise
much like the one in 1961, on 9/11.

In this light, it is significant that mainstream press stories
contain intriguing reports that point to the possibility that there
were two American Airlines "Flight 11" leaving from two different
gates at Boston Logan airport within a few minutes of one another
on 9/11, as well as emerging evidence of other of the hijacked 9/11
flight numbers possibly being "twinned,"(17)or copied. The question
naturally arises, were these "twinned" NORAD flights U.S. military
planes "playing" hijacked airliner "attackers," similar to the 1961
scenario except substituting commandeered airliners for Soviet
bombers?And could the 9/11 exercise have included a "trigger" event
to clear the skies over the mainland U.S. so that a realistic test
of U.S. air defenses could be conducted without interference from
the thousands of civilian aircraft normally in the air?

Key quotes from the New York Times articles during the 1961 NORAD
exercise are eerily similar to stories appearing on 9/11 [text in
parentheses and italics added]: "It is not so much the fear of
collisions with military aircraft that has caused civilian planes
to be ordered out of the skies, as it is the knowledge that inadequate
[civilian FAA] electronic flight controls will be available during
the exercise to guide them. Strategic Air Command (SAC) bombers,
playing the role of the marauding forces, will seek to foul
communications and radar. They will drop tinsel-like pieces of metal
called "chaff" overhead [like the myriad small pieces of metal scrap
found on the Pentagon lawn and Shanksville, Pennsylvania "crash"
site on 9/11?].that will throw radarscopes [including the FAA's]
into a confusion of false signals."; "All the bomber missions were
laid out ahead of time and fed into the NORAD computer"; "An automated
shorthand runningdisplay of the entire battle was provided at NORAD
combat center and in similar centers at Strategic Air
Commandheadquarters [where President Bush was taken on 9/11] and in the
Pentagon [which was attacked on 9/11]"; "A fight plan for every
aircraft [private, commercial and military] is fed into the computer's
memory beforehand. When a plane shows on the radarscope, a console
operator picks up an aluminum electronic gun, points it at the blip,
and squeezes the trigger. That brings the flight to the computer's
attention. If the flight [plan] is filed in its memory, the computer
automatically replies, 'Yes, I am aware of that [plane].' It does this
by marking the flight with an F for Friendly. While the computer
compares the flight with its memorized data, it marks the flight P for
Pending. Finally, it may mark it H for Hostile. 'We have two minutes to
identify a flight [as Friendly] before we scramble [interceptor
jets].to make a visual identification of an uncertain aircraft or
to attack it.'; 'We do not train [in exercises like the 1961 'Sky
Shield II, or on 9/11] with Hostile symbology [showing on screens];
therefore, the Strategic Air Command's bombers playing the role of
the attacking [Soviet Russian] force [on Oct. 14, 1961] were marked
K, for Faker.'"; and "There are seventeen units of Army Air Defense
Artillery with ground-to-air anti-aircraft missiles near New York
[in 1961; how many more were there on 9/11, 40 years later, when
none were used?]" The 1961 war game was directed by then NORAD
commander Air Force Gen.Laurence Sherman Kuter from his combat
operations center at NORAD's Colorado Springs headquarters, which
in the mid-1960s moved to Cheyenne Mountain, Gen. Eberhart's command
center on 9/11. It may also be significant that the Air Force's war
games simulation center is at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama,
which Gen. Kuter had earlier commanded and where lead 9/11 hijacker
Mohammed Atta received training.

The Pentagon's "Able Danger" data miners now claim that "Department
of Defense lawyers"-almost certainly from the National Security
Agency, then headed by Gen. Hayden, of the same service that planned
the 9/11 war games, theAir Force-blocked planned meetings with the
FBI in which they wanted to tell the FBI that they had "tracked"
Atta and others of the 9/11 hijackers prior to 9/11 and ask the FBI
to initiate further surveillance on them. The fact that the FBI did
initiate exactly such a surveillance of the "up to 20 Al Qaeda
linked terrorist suspects" before 9/11 is strong evidence that,
despite their current claims to the contrary, the Pentagon's "Able
Danger" team did communicate what they learned from tracking Atta
and the others to the FBI before 9/11, and that the FBI then initiated
FISA-warrant-less surveillances of Atta and others subsequently
ordered stopped by then Chief FISA Court Judge Lamberth - all of
this prior to 9/11. The fact that initially-suspected "20th 9/11
hijacker" Moussaoui officially filed claims that he "and my brothers"
were surveilled before 9/11 is further evidence that the FBI continued
to watch all or most of the 9/11 hijackers right up until the
attacks, despite Lamberth's order to cease and desist. FBI Headquarters
supervisors David Frasca and his deputy Maltbie refused 70 - seventy
- urgent requests by Moussaoui's FBI interrogator and by Coleen
Rowley in the Minneapolis FBI office, for either a FISA Court warrant
or an "ordinary" criminal warrant to get into Moussaoui's computer
and surveil anyone mentioned therein. Doing so would have clearly
stopped the plot, as Moussaoui now claims he personally knew 17-almost
all- of the 19 hijackers.(18)

In addition to all the evidence that the idea of plane impacts plus
fire causing destruction was a carefully planned cover story for
the collapse of WTC 1, 2 and 7, as well as for the initial violent
event at the Pentagon, the otheroverwhelming line of evidence for
9/11 as an "Inside Job" are the anthrax attacks.

Any evidence linking 9/11 to the anthrax letters-dated Sept. 11 but
sent in mid- October and only to Democratic leaders in Congress -
no Republicans - is direct evidence of an inside job because that
particular type of anthrax is known to have been of the highly
controlled "Ames strain" developed by the U.S. Army at Ft. Dietrick,
Maryland, and at theUniversity of Iowa in Ames, Iowa. It was also
high-spore-count, military-grade weaponized anthrax refined according
to a trade secret held reportedly held by William Patrick, former
Ft. Detrick bioweapons expert, mentor of Steven Hatfill, the only
"person of interest" stalked by the FBI as a suspect in the still
"unsolved" anthrax case, and the close friend and colleague of Bush
Administration bio-counterterrorism expert Jerry Hauer, a signer
of the PNAC manifesto calling for "a new Pearl Harbor."

On Sept. 11, this same Jerry Hauer personally delivered anti-anthrax
Cipro to Vice President Cheney's staff at the White House. Why? The
conservative legal watchdog group Judicial Watch has filed a suit
against Vice PresidentCheney and other Bush Administration officials
demanding to know why Cipro was delivered to the executive mansion
? and only to the executive mansion-on the day of the attacks. So
far the response has been a deafening silence. On Sept. 10, the day
before 9/11, FEMA and other emergency response personnel arrived
in New York City for a counter-bioterrorism exercise called "Tripod
II" claimed by the Bush Administration to have been scheduled to
begin Sept. 12. There is reason to believe that the bio-agent this
drill was to practice defending against was anthrax, as Jerry Hauer
was also a major planner of the New York City exercise. And there
is also a strong possibility the true start date for the exercisewas
Sept. 11, as so many personnel were already in place on Sept. 10.
As the Air Force's war game scenario had just "come to life" in
real attacks on 9/11, were Hauer and Cheney worried that the same
thing might be about to happen with their counter-bioterrorism
"exercise" Tripod II? Is this why the anti-anthrax drug Cipro was
distributed to the WhiteHouse, "just in case"? If so, it would be
strong evidence that Tripod II was on the scenario of defending New
York City against an anthrax attack. Was the "vector," or delivery
vehicle, for that emergency response exercise scenario anthrax
attack to have been by air via airplane?

Notably, in their book on bioterrorism, Germs, Judith Miller and
William Broad claim, apparently from inside sources, that Ramzi
Yousef's plans for the first World Trade Center attack in 1993
included explosively pushing largequantities of cyanide out into
New York City. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the "mastermind" of 9/11,
is Ramzi Yousef's uncle. Finally, former New York City mayor Rudolf
Giuliani testified to the 9/11 Commission that when WTC 7, which
held his emergency operations center, collapsed on 9/11, he moved
those operations to the command and control center setup on Pier
92 for the "Tripod II" bio-terrorism exercise and that it even
worked better than the original. Giuliani told the 9/11 Commission,
"The reason Pier 92 was selected as a command center was because
on the next day, on September 12, (Page 10) Pier 92 was going to
have a drill. It had hundreds of people there-from FEMA, from the
Federal Government, from the State [Dept.], from the [New York]
State Emergency Management Office-and they were getting ready for
a drill for biochemical attack. So that was going be the place they
were going to have the drill. The equipment was already there, so
we were able to establish a command center there that was two and
a half to three times bigger than the command center that we had
lost at 7 World Trade Center. And it was from there that the rest
of the search and rescue effort was completed."

Conclusion

The U.S. military, not al-Qaeda, had the access to plant explosives
inside its own most heavily defended worldheadquarters, the Pentagon.
The U.S. military, not al- Qaeda, had the access to plant the
explosives Willy Rodriquez heard and felt go off deep in the
sub-basement of the World Trade Center. The U.S. military, not
al-Qaeda, had the sustained access weeks before 9/11 to plant
controlled demolition charges throughout the superstructures of WTC
1 and WTC2, and in WTC 7, which brought down all three buildings
on 9/11. The U.S. military, not al-Qaeda, had access to the
sulfur-enhanced military-grade thermite detected in the sub-basement
levels of the WTC needed to melt the steel found moltenthere weeks
later. The U.S. military, not al-Qaeda, would have chosen the least
populated and most reinforced section of the Pentagon - its newly
upgraded west wedge - to target in a strike, minimizing casualties.
Real terrorists would have maximized them. A U.S. military plane,
not one piloted by al-Qaeda, performed the highly skilled, high-speed
270-degree dive towards the Pentagon that Air Traffic Controllers
on 9/11 were sure was a military plane as they watched it on their
screens. Only a military aircraft, not a civilian plane flown by
al-Qaeda, would have given off the "friendly" signal needed to
disable the Pentagon's anti-aircraft missile batteries as it
approached the building. Only the U.S. military, not al-Qaeda, had
the ability to break all of its Standard Operating Procedures to
paralyze its own emergency response system. Real terrorist hijackers
would never have chosen routes back to their intended targets that
flew over or near military bases, which the 9/11 planes did. Only
the U.S. military, not al-Qaeda, would have access to the weaponized,
military-grade U.S. Army "Ames strain' anthrax contained in letters
mailed only to Democratic Congressional leaders. It is absurd to
believe al-Qaeda would target only Democrats, especially as the
U.S. leadership at the time of 9/11 was Republican. After receiving
the anthrax letter dated Sept. 11, then Senate Democratic leader
Thomas Daschle was calling for a Congressional investigation of
9/11 and had already been warned off from "looking too closely at"
9/11 by President Bush and Vice President Cheney. When he received
his anthrax letter, another Democratic leader, Senator Patrick
Leahy, was leading the Congressional resistance to the Patriot Act,
the assault on Americans' privacy and civil liberties justified by
"Al Qaeda's" attack, clearly drafted by the Bush Administration
before 9/11 and "in the can" awaiting its "trigger event".

And who in the U.S. civilian leadership and military chain of command
are among the prime suspects for these acts of High Treason?

First and foremost are the signers of the pre-9/11 Project for a
New American Century (PNAC) manifesto calling for "a new Pearl
Harbor" to catalyze its global domination agenda, including Vice
President Dick Cheney; Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who
was on the White House Clarke teleconference from the outset but
whom no one could allegedly locate until 10:30 on 9/11; then Deputy
Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz; Richard Perle, then head of
Secretary Rumsfeld's Defense Policy Board; Jerry Hauer, just-former
top emergency response official for New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani
and the federal government's top bio-terrorism expert who personally
took anti-anthrax Cipro to the White House on 9/11; then National
Security Council Middle East adviser Zalmay Khalizad, soon to be
the first U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan after 9/11 and now U.S.
Ambassador to Iraq-the two countries whose invasions were rationalized
as retaliation for the attacks of 9/11 -- during the Cold War,
Khalizad was a liaisonto then CIA "bag man" Osama bin Laden in the
CIA's covert war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, the crucible
from which al-Qaeda emerged); and Jeb Bush, governor of Florida and
President Bush's brother, who just before 9/11 added "terrorist
attack" to the list of triggers for declaring martial law in the
state, where President Bush was Sept. 10 and Sept. 11.

Yet another is the U.S. military agency, probably Army or Joint
Special Operations, that preplaced the military-grade sulfur-enhanced
thermite throughout WTC 1, WTC 2 and WTC 7 well before the 9/11
"terrorist" attacks, with special attention reserved for Army Gen.
William G. (Jerry) Boykin, the radical Christian fundamentalist
former commander of the Army's elite commando Delta Force, recently
proposed to head the Army's Special Operations Command. Also the
Pentagon's POP2 office, reported to plan and script "false flag"
operations, attacks staged by the military but made to appear
perpetrated by an outside enemy to justify U.S. military "retaliation".
Yet another suspect is Defense Intelligence Agency Iran expert
Lawrence "Larry" Franklin, on loan to Perle and Wolfowitz's neo-con
cabal partner Douglas Feith Before and on 9/11 and arrested for
passing national security secretson Iran to Israeli operatives at
the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Scrutiny
should also be given to the scriptwriters for NORAD's and NRO's
emergency response exercises planned for and held on 9/11,
especiallymembers of the drills' "White Teams" who set the content
in advance and then oversee both "Red Team attackers" and "Blue
Team defenders" on the actual day of the exercise. (Larry Franklin
was also, and may still be, an officer in the Air Force reserves,
whichoversaw the NORAD "Vigilant Guardian/Vigilant Warrior" wargame
exercises on 9/11). Among these high levelscriptwriters almost
certainly is John Fulton, head of Strategic Gaming at NRO before
and on 9/11 who devised that agency's plane-crashing-into-tower
emergency response drill on the morning of 9/11. Also every one of
the as-yet-to-be-identified "top Pentagon officials" who on the day
before 9/11, Sept. 10, according to Newsweek, suddenly cancelled
their then-already-booked flights for Sept. 11(19) -- not coincidentally
the same day, Sept. 10, that the NSA intercepted Atta's "Zero hour
is tomorrow" call with 9/11 'Mastermind' Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
These "top Pentagon officials" may well include National Military
Command Center (NMCC) commander Brig. Gen. Montague Winfield who,
again on that same day Sept. 10, asked his deputy, Navy Capt. Charles
Leidig, to take over for him just the next morning between 8:30 and
10:30 -- precisely the two hours of Sept. 11 'war games'.

Yet another key suspect is Michael Chertoff, U.S. Attorney for the
District of New Jersey during the first 1993 attack on the World
Trade Center who, as a private attorney, had represented Egyptian-born
U.S. resident Magdy Elamir, under investigation for illegally
diverting millions of dollars from a medical business and whose
brother, Mohammed Elamir (also spelled El Amir), funded arms smugglers
with links to Al Qaeda.(20)The twoEgyptian brothers El Amir also
figured prominently in a 9/11 precursor operation, "Operation
Diamondback".So is it only a coincidence that lead 9/11 hijacker
Mohammed Atta's name in his native country, also Egypt,was also
Mohammed El Amir? That is, had Chertoff, put in charge of
"investigating" Atta's attack immediately after, legally represented
one of Atta's relatives? After the attacks, President Bush almost
instantly put Chertoff in chargeof the entire 9/11 "investigation", and
he is now Director of Homeland Security -- the top official charged with
protecting the U.S. mainland from attacks by . . . "Al Qaeda".

Another key suspect is Air Force General William Hayden, before and
on 9/11 head of the National Security Agency (NSA), which tapped
the callsof lead hijacker Mohammed Atta and 9/11 "Mastermind" Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed the day before 9/11, and surely on many other
occasions before 9/11 as well- all almost certainly without the
FISA warrants required by law. (Even the single pre-9/11 Sept. 10
warrantless NSA tap puts the lie to President Bush's claim that he
initiated warrant-less NSA taps of al-Qaeda suspects because of-that
is, only after-9/11. Hayden was then made deputy director of Homeland
Security, immediately under . . .  Michael Chertoff.

At FBI headquarters are key suspects David Frasca and his deputy
Michael Maltbie, who ignored 70 pleas by Zacarias Moussaoui's
interrogator to aggressively investigate the contents of Moussaoui's
computer before 9/11. And in New York, there is then New York City
Mayor Rudolph Giulinani, who completelyevacuated WTC 7, where his
Emergency Operations Center was located, when told - ahead of time
- that the WTC was going to come down. Jerry Hauer, who personally
took anti-anthrax Cipro to the White House on 9/11, had been the
head of Giuliani's emergency responders.

Attention should also be directed to Phillip Zelikow, before and
on 9/11 NSC adviser, along with PNAC manifesto signer Zalmay Khalizad,
to then NSC Adviser Condolezza Rice. Zelikow orchestratedboth the
9/11 Kean Commission Report cover up of the Administration's inside
job and, at Rice's request, rewrote the Bush Administration's
official 2002 national strategic plan to match the global domination
agenda of the pre-9/11 PNAC manifesto.

And there is Larry Silverstein, lease holder of the WTC complex
buildings including Towers 1 and 2 brought down by controlled
demolition using pre-placed explosives on 9/11, and outright owner
of WTC 7 which also came down by controlled demolition on 9/11
though not hit by any plane. Just before 9/11, John O'Neill, who
had obviously pre-alerted Silverstein to the plot to attack both
WTC 1 and WTC 2 based on the surveillance from the mid-July 'final
9/11 planning meeting' in Spain, was made chief of securityfor the
WTC just before 9.11, personally arranged by PNAC manifesto signer
Jerry Hauer. Silverstein then "happened" to try to add a rider to
his insurance policy on the WTC complex so that twin terrorist
attacks would result in a doubled claims pay out.

And there is the mysterious "Agency" ? apparently a reference to a
U.S. Government agency ? which the Kean Commission report revealed,
without identifying by name, made 90 percent or so of the suspicious
puts on United and American Airlines, Boeing, and Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter (which had the largest number of floors in the WTC
towers which collapsed) shortly before 9/11. The most likely candidate
for this "Agency" is the CIA, often referred to as just "the Agency."
By law, it should be recalled, the CIA is the personal "agency" of
the President. On 9/11, this was George W. Bush, who said "It looks
like I hit the Trifecta!" Finally, the prime suspect is whoever is
behind the voice that speaks to President Bush through his wireless
ear mike, from whom he visibly takes orders and receives running
commentary. Bush has called the voice 'God', saying he receives
instructions 'directly' from the Almighty, but it's clearly that
of a very human Controller -- the ultimate 'Man Behind the Curtain'.
