Exactly one year before he was assassinated, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. summed up what many feel provoked the September 11th attacks: "The greatest purveyor of violence on the planet, my own government."
"A time comes when silence is betrayal. Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. Nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world."
From 'The Inner Truth'
by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
New York City, April 4th, 1967
Before I start with the list of questions regarding Tuesday, September 11, 2001, let me begin by going over a few of the most obvious points. First, the top 2 cities where terrorists would most likely strike in the United States were and still are New York City and Washington D.C. The top terrorist targets in New York City were the World Trade Center, and still are the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the United Nations. In Washington D.C. the top targets are the Capitol building, the White House, the Pentagon and the Supreme Court. One thing is for certain, by going after the capitalistic, political and military centers you can surely and quickly evoke a very strong sense of patriotism.
Now for the real truth, by far the most devastating targets in the United States are the 103 commercial nuclear plants that are online today. The number one terrorist target is Indian Point and its 3 nuclear power plants, 2 of which are online. What makes Indian Point by far the number one threat in the United States? First of all, put together, these 3 nuclear plants have accumulated 65 years worth of stockpiled highly radioactive waste, which is quite vulnerably stored. Then factor in the proximity of Indian Point to New York City. It is only 24 miles north of the New York City border. Indian Point is surrounded by the densest concentration of population in the United States, the northeast corridor.
Consider this, if 1, 2 or maybe 3 of those 4 hijacked Boeing 757 and/or 767 airliners that were full with fuel had hit Indian Point there would have been approximately 20 million people contaminated with deadly radiation. Thousands of square miles of our beautiful Earth would have been poisoned by the radiation and would be lost forever. With the prevailing winds west to east, the whole northeast corridor from New York City to Boston would have been history within a few hours. By the way, there are 101 other commercial nuclear power plants like Indian Point that are still online across the United States today.
The Department of Energy has many other nuclear facilities all across the United States, and is responsible for the nation's nuclear weapons complexes. This includes almost 60 tons of plutonium in various forms and an unknown amount of other highly dangerous radioactive wastes. Another simple mathematical equation for a place in the United States that is most susceptible to a terrorist attack via airliner would be the Pantex Nuclear Weapons complex near Amarillo, Texas.
Why, because the Pantex Nuclear Weapons complex has stockpiled more than 30 tons of deadly plutonium. This is 50% of all the plutonium that is stored in the United States. The plutonium is stored in 1940's, 1950's and 1960's designed above ground bunkers, which are quite vulnerable to an attack by a large airliner or airliners that are full of fuel. By the way, the Pantex Nuclear Weapons complex is only five miles from the Amarillo International Airport.
The Department of Energy analyzes and tests the security of its own nuclear weapons facilities by conducting simulations and mock force-on-force exercises, often using United States military forces as adversaries. According to experts who have conducted these tests in the past, the government fails to protect against these attacks more than 50 percent of the time, although the exact figure is classified.
All 103 of the United States nuclear power plants that are online and producing electricity should be shut down today. Through energy efficiencies we could quickly absorb the 18% of the electricity that is derived from these 103 nuclear plants. We should also shut down every Department Of Energy facility that deals with nuclear energy. These nuclear plants and facilities should be guarded at our highest level of alert.
By the way, if we wanted to put our minds to it, within 3 years we could be making back that 18% of electricity by generating it with the cheapest and cleanest way to create electricity: wind turbines. From start to finish a huge wind farm can be up and generating electricity within a year. Shouldn't we be investing in the cheapest to produce, fastest to market and a renewable source of energy, on land or offshore, wind turbine farms?
Two other major targets would be Fort Detrick in Maryland and Camp 12 at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. These two military complexes are where the United States secretly stores most of its own biochemical warfare agents.
Also, please keep these 3 very important pieces of information in mind when you read Questioning September 11th:
- The United States will spend more on the military in fiscal year 2002 than the next 15 biggest countries combined. The United States will spend 343 billion in 2002. This is more than the second through sixteenth countries, all put together.
- The United States government has the highest per capita incarceration rate of any country in the world. At 2.1 million
citizens behind bars, we proportionately have more of our fellow Americans imprisoned than any other country on Earth.
- The United States Air Force ( USAF ) is by far and away the most technologically advanced and dominate military force ever known to man. The USAF simply rules all of the high ground and if Star Wars isn't stop, or used for the peaceful purpose of protection from deadly asteroids, they will also rule the ultimate high ground, the heavens.
"Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal."
"Cowardice asks the question – is it safe? Expediency asks the question – is it politic? Vanity asks the question – is it popular? But conscience asks the question – is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
The most important questions regarding September 11th that every U.S. corporate media outlet is still unwilling to ask can be found in ihe "smoking gun" press release from NORAD on September 19th.
A critical analysis of the alarming number of inconsistencies found in the NORAD Press Release of September 19, 2001
Fighters were 8 minutes away from WTC.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command ( NORAD ) had almost 1 1/2 hour to scramble F-16 jets from Langley Air Force Base ( AFB ) to protect Washington D.C. and the Pentagon. How could they incredibly fail to do so? For this most impossible error, the United States government and military only give the lame excuse, we didn't have enough time to respond.
(!) Let me start by saying that it is NORAD's job to know every inch of the skies over North America, so they must have known by 8:10 to 8:15 that American Airlines Flight 11 was hijacked. NORAD knew by around 8:33 that a second plane, United Airlines Flight 175 had also been hijacked. So around 8:33 there were 2 planes hijacked and one of them, American Airlines Flight 11 was headed directly for New York City.
I guess NORAD didn't get the message at 8:45 when American Airlines Flight 11 slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Center (WTC ). Again, NORAD incredibly still doesn't get the message that there was a major problem at 9:03 when United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the south tower of the WTC?
(!) Are we really to believe that somehow NORAD still waited and waited until they are finally told by the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) that a third plane had also been hijacked, American Airlines Flight 77? And then finally at 9:24 NORAD tells Langley to scramble 3 F-16's to protect Washington D.C.? By the way, American Airlines Flight 77 left Dulles and went all the way out to northeastern Kentucky, made a 180 degree turn and by 8:58 was heading back directly to Washington D.C.
(!) American Airlines Flight 77 hits the Pentagon around 9:40. Did this plane go through restricted air space over Washington D.C. for a while? If it did, on any normal day the automatic turret style anti-defense weaponry and a battery of ground-to-air Stinger missiles on top of the White House should have brought down this known to have been hijacked airplane. This is one of the main purposes the arsenal was put up there, to shoot down hostile aircraft. Why is it on top of the White House to help protect Washington D.C. and yet not deployed? American Airlines Flight 77 then does a 270 degree bank to turn around and flies toward the Pentagon. Andrews AFB is only around 10 miles away, which is well within the range of a sidewinder missile. All that is required to take down AA 77 is to get a jet fighter or an attack helicopter up in the air, lock and fire. Why didn't Andrews AFB scramble to do this even if they weren't on alert?
(!) Within minutes of the attack American forces around the world were put on one of their highest states of alert, Defcon 3, which is just two notches short of all-out war. It was then the F-16's from Andrews AFB were in the air over Washington DC. So, Andrews AFB two fighter wings somehow inconceivably waited till after all of the attacks were over to protect our nations capital, Washington D.C., and I have a bridge to sell you that connects Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Let us get back to the NORAD press release which tells Langley AFB at 9:24 to scramble their 3 F-16's to protect Washington D.C. from AA 77. F-16's at full speed can travel *1500 MPH, with takeoff acceleration factored in, it would have taken under 7 minutes to reach Washington D.C. from Langley AFB which is 120 miles to the south of the Pentagon.
(!) If these 3 F-16's were airborne at 9:30 and were flying at top speed they should have been there just before 9:37. The Pentagon claims that AA 77 hit them at 9:37. Most of the other timetables for AA 77 crashing into the Pentagon have it at 9:40 to 9:41, some media have even published 9:45. The important information here is that the F-16's should have and could have been at the Pentagon before 9:37. Yet NORAD's own press release of September 18 is telling you these 3 F-16's were still 12 minutes and 105 miles away. What is going on here, these fighter jets should have been there in under 7 minutes at top speed, yet NORAD is stating they are still 12 minutes away? To try to cover for this, General Haugen says that at first the 3 F-16's were directed toward New York at top speed, and then they were vectored toward the west and given a new flight target, Reagan National Airport. Why were all of these 3 F-16's flying to New York City when AA 77 is heading dead on for Washington D.C.?
(!) Why didn't NORAD scramble Langley AFB much, much sooner, say at 8:15 or 8:33 or 8:45 or 9:03? Why wasn't there any air protection for Washington D.C. for almost 90 minutes? By the way, why isn't the closer Andrews AFB always on alert to protect Washington D.C and the Pentagon? And lastly, why didn't the Air Force at the very least scramble a recon aircraft to monitor any of these 4 flights like they did for the late great golfer Payne Stewart when his Lear jet went off course? This is not Oshkosh, Wisconsin we are talking about protecting here, it is the Capital of the United States, Washington D.C., and its air defenses were left total unguarded for almost an hour and a half by the same country who have the greatest air superiority by far ever known. What type of a preposterous wag the NORAD tale is this?
