Part One of An Online Journal of 9-11
by Ralph Omholt

Almost nothing in the "official" 9-11 account proves to be factual. For all the purported U.S. failures; no one was punished - most were rewarded.

IMPOSSIBLE?

At the 9-11 Pentagon, the world witnessed a fire and suggestions of explosions. Airport fire trucks rushed to the scene of a purported "crash" site - without discovering an airplane. There is no viable evidence of burning jet fuel. Just the statement, "They say it was an airplane." The pre-collapse Pentagon section showed no 'forward-moving' damage. The damage is at the wrong location. The expected "crash" damage doesn't exist. There was no particular physical evidence of the expected "wreckage." There was no tail, no wings; no damage consistent with a B-757 "crash." Even the Pentagon lawn was undamaged! The geometry of the day certifies the 'official' account as a blatant lie. The few aircraft parts discovered at the Pentagon are highly suspect. The dramatic "witness" accounts lack supporting physical evidence - with the exception of those who described the incredibly few aircraft parts. All images show that the building wasn't aggressively searched for survivors. Lacking any 'expected' clues, one is left to ask "Who said this was an airplane crash, in the first place?"

The purported Flight 93 crash site in Pennsylvania is quite similar.

Since 9-11, it was discovered that there was no expected Air Force fighter response. By all appearances, the expected fighters were held back from interfering with; or witnessing the unfolding events. The fighter onboard electronics would have not only offered an intercept target, but would have displayed and recorded the forbidden reality of the day. Of particular interest would be the fate of two obviously missing airliners.

The alleged hijackers apparently were not on board the aircraft! Their names were not on any passenger manifests - yet shown. The 'names' of at least seven of the alleged hijackers were discovered to be still alive - with no questions being asked about whom the real hijackers were. No attempt has been made to discover the "known terrorists." There were at least four hijackers - all evidence pointing to their being highly qualified jet pilots - not zealous Arab wannabes.

As the names of "al Qaeda" and "bin Laden" continue to be pandered in the shadows of 'terrorism,' journalists continue to discover that the bin Laden family was given the treatment of royalty, immediately following 9-11.

This just can't be, yet ......

The legacy of 9-11 is that America - and its Constitution - is far more threatened from the White House, than the caves of Afghanistan.

This site pleads for the preservation of the U.S. Constitution, the admirable American sense of justice and the proud traditional American way of life.

Blind faith is self-inflicted! Whenever confusion is encountered, it is necessary to somehow find a "grounding point," call it a "benchmark." That undeniable and absolutely trustworthy point of reference. Next, it's necessary to gather ACCURATE peripheral data, which can be trusted - no matter how kind or how harsh it may be. Thereafter, whether lost in the woods - or in politics- the truth may be discovered. Such is the case with 9-11.

The "official version" of 9-11 just doesn't stand up, against even elementary scrutiny. Despite the "official" denials, there were overwhelming warnings of suicide hijackers; but no warnings to the public or to airline pilots. The selective maintenance of a badly outdated hijacking procedure set the operational stage for the "official" version of 9-11.

In David Ray Griffin's book on the 9/11 Commission Report - "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions" - Griffin addresses the Report; describing these same issues, in great detail. Griffin reveals where the Report is flawed and how. It should be noted that the observations of this Web site are not the least bit unique.

A little bit at a time, America - and the world - is taking a step back to examine 9-11, 2001 for what is factually represented:

- Terrorism warnings without response.
- Terrorist investigations stopped from the White House.
- Hijackings without response.
- Hijackers without identity.
- Terrorists who never were.
- The known family of the acclaimed terrorist protected from the White House.
- An informed President who doesn't react; later running from harm without reason.
- Named terrorists who are not pursued.
- Derelict leaders not reprimanded.
- Major crimes without investigation or prosecution.
- Terrorist resources protected by the White House.
- Institutional Criminals rewarded by D.C.

For the most dramatic impression, let's start with the scene of the 9-11 Pentagon -

VIDEO SYNOPSIS

A fire and apparent explosion. The airport fire trucks rushed to the scene, failing to discover any evidence of an airplane. Examining the photos and videotape of the day, it's obvious that the fire is neither competently fought (if the "official account is the least bit accurate), nor is the target building aggressively searched for survivors by the supposed rescuers. A secret facility with no security; before, during or after. An attack on the nation's military headquarters - with no police or military perimeter set up. Hundreds of casualties anticipated; without a consistent ambulance response. All the rescue assets are on location, but held back from the fire scene.

One is challenged to discover how much more could be wrong in such a picture.

Disregarding passionate and otherwise tempting lies, the only truth which can be trusted in the "official" account of 9-11, is that two aircraft hit the WTC towers. The rest is an incredible collection of clever lies and obstruction of truth. "I didn't SAY it; I repeated it" doesn't equate to telling the truth. Especially when the information 'sources' keep their jobs.

WHAT HAPPENED?

While it stretches anyone's imagination, it is appropriate to examine the extent of where the selective airline security procedures left America - and the world. By all indicators, the American airline industry is set for another 9-11. Airport security has gone from being a joke to a being a Gestapo joke.

Again, there's that peculiar nagging issue, concerning 9-11 - the alleged hijackers apparently were not on board the aircraft! Their names were not on any passenger manifests - yet shown. The names of at least seven of the alleged hijackers are still alive - with no questions being asked about who the real hijackers were. Obviously, there were at least four hijackers. We may be certain that they were highly qualified jet pilots - not Arab wannabes.

To even begin to comprehend what happened on 9-11, one has to first observe that all warnings of 9-11 were blocked with great prejudice. Thereafter, it must be noted that there were no official repercussions against those who, by accident or design, facilitated 9-11 - as pandered to the world. No reprimands, no resignations, no investigations at any office or departmental level, certainly no prosecutions. Not even an official name-calling session. Just the seeming statement, "Damn, I hate it when that happens!"

That's all!

Thereafter any "official" investigations into the details of 9-11 are blocked - from the White House!

The events of 9-11 didn't just kill thousands, cost billions and precipitate wars - nay, War Crimes - pursuant to the U.N. Charter, the Geneva Accords and the Nuremberg Precedents, which the U.N. Charter embraces. Conveniently, few American citizens or soldiers have the faintest clue as to what those documents say. Ignorance can be as effective as a lie! The post 9-11 events injected both horror and compelling questions upon the American population, in particular. History will be America's jury; the verdict is quite obvious.

Disregarding raw American pride, patriotism and prejudice; War Crimes DID happen from America! At the time of this writing, they continue.

The 9-11 Pentagon epitomizes the issues of that day. As time goes on, certain issues persist in their demand for hard answers.

The greatest horror of 9-11 was the killing of the American Constitution - for no good excuse whatsoever! The U.S. Constitution delivered and maintains the American way of life. If that document is abandoned - or destroyed; traditional America goes with it. Freedom and justice, as the entire world has come to know it, is defined, essentially, by the U.S. Constitution. What America HAD, the world wants. If the Constitution is reverted to the status of a political relic, the entire world faces the sunset of justice and freedom.

As it stands, the U.S. "powers" are going around the world meting out Gestapo justice in secret trials. Such is even proposed by the current President, exclusively naming him - personally; not his office - as the ultimate authority in the post 9-11 Presidential Military Order on terrorist tribunals.

Amazingly the President reserves the right to try "unlawful combatants," while sanctifying U.S. corporations farming out mercenary (unlawful combatant) forces in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq. Somehow the world is expected to make a distinction between "mercenary" and "contractor."

There was no shortage of authority or power in the Constitution to prevent 9-11; it cannot totally prevent massive and methodical corruption; it can punish such deeds - including the related conspiracy. The necessary investigation powers were in place; before 9-11. The so-called "whistle blowers" got the shaft; 9-11 came from within!

The obviously pre-written "Patriot Act" was totally unnecessary; and an act of pure tyranny. Those in doubt of the previous statement need to observe cases such as Martha Stewart, who were charged with a crime, for having entered a "not guilty" plea at their trial. She wasn't alone; that's "tyranny," as America knows it.

The very essence of American justice is that a person is regarded as innocent, until proven guilty. Thus, the "not guilty" plea is sacred to the American judicial system. In another bizarre case, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) was imprisoned for the postings of one of his customers; the customer wasn't touched. Such is on par with criminally charging a Mailman for delivering a porno magazine.

In order to preserve the American way of life, one must look very closely at the events of 9-11. The missing information is more compelling than what has been pandered as "truth." If those actually responsible are not brought to justice, America is in dire straits.

Returning to that day ...

Given all the "mysteries" surrounding 9-11, it is necessary to refer to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's philosophy:

"When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains - however improbable - must be the truth."

For anyone to understand how bizarre their world can get, it is at least "interesting" to start with certain basics at the Pentagon and Flight 77. Among the alleged "wreckage," no tail, no wings, and no damage consistent with such a "crash." Even the Pentagon lawn was undamaged; so much for the infamous security videotape fireball!

Seismic monitors will register a sonic boom, but the seismic monitors don't reveal anything suggesting such an aircraft impact. ONLY AT THE PENTAGON!

The strongest suggestion is that the wrong seismic time frame was cited, relative to the actual impact. What would 'other' data show? What happened in the vicinity of 9:31?

The horizontal strike on the WTC towers, a thousand feet up, registered a major seismic spike - but nothing at the Pentagon.

Clearly an illusion was created at the 9-11 Pentagon; using the very best of "Perception Control." Start with the actual crash of an aircraft carrying thousands of gallons of Jet-A fuel -

One is left to notice that it's more than just "strange" that nothing similar was seen at the Pentagon! Thereafter, one is left to ask themselves how THAT happened! Next, ponder the deafening silence in regard to just the single discrepancy. Then move to the illusion of the Pentagon fire - just the fire - for starters.

Notice another detail in this picture; the corner of the building is impacted, with the bulk of the fuel burning OUTSIDE of the building. That leaves the question, "What collapsed the center columns?"

At the 9-11 Pentagon, we are supposed to believe that a 757, traveling at 300 Knots dove over a batch of construction equipment, immediately adjacent to the Pentagon wall, then leveled out; and did a totally perfect strike at the convenient "Least-Risk Point." Thereafter, it morphed its way through three rings of the Pentagon, turning left and right through the linking hallways, leaving a handful of aircraft pieces which defy accountability. All that, without damaging or burning the Pentagon lawn! All that by a pilot known to be an idiot at the controls of a small plane.

It's more than IMPOSSIBLE: it's absurd!

There's another strange matter - the collapsed portion of the Pentagon wasn't in the alleged path of the purported 757 center-of-mass; yet that portion which allegedly was in that path didn't collapse! That should have been damage from the purported right wing.

In the elementary physics of the purported strike, according to the proposed impact angle, the aircraft tail would have rotated to the left, breaking off major pieces of its structure - including the tail section.

As George Nelson, Colonel, USAF (ret.), pointed out, NONE of the "found" parts have part numbers or serial numbers on them; not at the Pentagon and not at Pennsylvania! For production control, manufacturers stamp such 'part' numbers on virtually EVERY piece of an aircraft. The major components are found with the manufacturer's serial numbers. Clearly, someone went to a lot of trouble to 'sanitize' the 9-11 pieces. Anyone with experience around aircraft accidents will cite the total lack of serial-numbered parts as IMPOSSIBLE.

Step back, for a moment. Try to imagine a trans-continental flight with hardly any passengers and no cargo. The flight reversed course and arrived back in the D.C. area unexpectedly, yet there is no record - or even 'tales' - of ATC directing aircraft away from the "rogue aircraft," no ATC warnings, no pleas for other aircraft to look for the "missing" aircraft, no continuous calls from ATC, attempting to establish contact - on any frequency. There were no TCAS (mid-air collision) alarms, with aircraft in a busy terminal area scattering for clear airspace. Nor were there any secondary TCAS alarms from the otherwise expected chaos.

The FAA order for all aircraft to land hadn't yet been announced, when the supposed 757 hit the Pentagon; there would have been an abundance of conflicting aircraft at the Dulles and Reagan airport areas.

For those unfamiliar, the TCAS system allows the transponders of different aircraft to electronically warn each other of a collision threat - with computerized audio and visual warnings in the cockpits of the planes involved. "Hard" warnings generate audio and visual commands, for the pilots to climb or descend to evade a collision.

Remember that the FAA claimed the aircraft circled and descended from 7,000 feet, overhead the Pentagon. Only a functioning transponder would yield an FAA digital display, indicating the altitude. In the world of facts, they can't have it both ways. The transponder was either on or off. All of that assuming that the aircraft was factual. If there was an aircraft actually involved, an Air Force fighter for example, it made a low pass; it didn't hit the Pentagon!

Beyond the 'normal' tight airspace restrictions, such a site automatically becomes "Prohibited" airspace for pilots. No pilot in his/her right mind would go near the area - without an 'official' directive.

Again, if the purported 757 transponder had been ON, it would have caused ATC and TCAS warning chaos with innumerable aircraft within the Baltimore/Dulles/Reagan Airport areas, as the aircraft approached the Pentagon. Yet, there were no questions asked about that discrepancy!

As a minimum, the FAA hasn't indicated why they just watched the close-in approach of the purported aircraft, without making any attempt to warn anyone. It would have violated Dulles Airport airspace, as well as threatened "Prohibited Airspace," with the FAA just watching. If the FAA is being honest; where's the appropriate accountability? If there was no airplane, the obvious lie was a serious felony!

The witnesses -

The witnesses who came forward were rather typical of all aircraft accident witnesses - they described what they believed was true. It's nearly impossible to have an aircraft crash that someone doesn't see it on fire - in the air; often with an associated explosion. That's just an accepted quirk of human nature. Witness testimony is always corroborated against physical evidence - if such exists.

Typical was one eloquent witness who poisoned his own statement by describing his having "heard" the aircraft pull up; a maneuver would not make a noise. That statement was later changed to "power-up.

Given the physical magnitude of the event, the physical evidence would corroborate reliable witness accounts - yet, the physical corroboration is nearly 100% lacking.

Some witnesses may have actually been casual individuals, versus "plants." We'll never know, for sure. But, there is one detail which eliminates 99% of the "witnesses," instantly - what they DON'T describe!

No one described being terrified by the noise of a low-flying jet aircraft.

The aircraft was alleged to have passed low over major buildings, yet no one describes it as "big;" certainly not "deafening." A B-757 is supposed to have passed low over so many people, yet no one was frightened by the overwhelming noise of a 757, doing 300 Knots. That noise would have been more memorable than most visual details.

The approach-departure "Doppler Effect" would have left a frightening impression, as the frequency of the engine noise built, then faded. Still, there are no such descriptions.

The required path would have taken the aircraft extremely low over a major highway. Yet, there aren't hundreds of witnesses who saw - or heard - ANYTHING. Drivers eventually stopped for the Pentagon fire; they didn't stop for a low-flying aircraft.

Nor did any group of people abandon a building or even run to a window to see what had to be a major event of some sort. Nor do you hear of any sounds of the crash. One bang; that's about it. A 757 hitting the Pentagon would have made one hell of a racket; as recorded in the WTC impacts. For all the recorders in the Pentagon, there is no trace of an audio recording of the event. A "secure" building which can't produce a viable image of the 9-11 events; not likely.

Supposedly, the collapsed section had just been rebuilt to be blast resistant. According to the pre-collapse photos and videotapes, the requisite "impact" areas show no signs of being externally struck. For all their "blast resistance," the walls just "morphed" a B-757? The right side showed a maximum of fifteen feet of lateral "penetration" damage. What collapsed the interior? The right "wing" which clearly couldn't have penetrated the outer wall - per the photos? The ten-minute fire?

THE SILENT WITNESS -

RADAR! The data is recorded. Does anyone remember the Defense Radar on TWA-800 and Egypt Air 990? What radar imagery couldn't be discerned by human eyes in real-time was available for later review, and documentation - whether FAA or military radar data.

According to Congressional testimony, the radar data was reviewed and analyzed for selected material; where is it? The military is hiding the most important witness of all!

The public was presented with computer-generated imagery to suggest 9-11 radar data; but the imagery was only a visual emulation of the purported flight paths. Where did that imagery come from? Who was so 'connected?' That imagery hangs on the brink of "conspiracy" and "Obstruction of Justice!"

The FAA claimed they saw the aircraft on radar, circling and descended from 7,000 feet, overhead the Pentagon. Where is the data?

While the FAA primarily depends on aircraft having a transponder (yielding such things as a digital altitude readout), they can also "see" a certain amount of raw "Primary Returns." Only the Defense Department radar can discern altitude from "raw" returns. The military radar is oriented around "seeing" primary returns, sneaking into our airspace, and maneuvering within. Yet, the military and FAA radar systems - of all indicators - are the silent witness.

Just try to imagine the "Prohibited Airspace" of Washington, D.C. area not being protected to the maximum, by the most sophisticated military radar; or monitored by satellite imagery! IMPOSSIBLE!

Just the CIA headquarters, across the river from the Pentagon, would have terrific amounts of radar data; where is it? The CIA building is the benefactor of the "Prohibited Airspace," not the Pentagon.

Imagine, also, the Pentagon - of all institutions - NOT being able to provide such a record. WHY? Because the radar data supporting the "official" account couldn't have existed. The PR value would have been incredible - if that data actually existed. In perfect propaganda control, no one mentioned the radar records. The public was not to be taught any tricks. The mass media wouldn't get involved in the obvious. WHY?

Certainly, the fighter 'non-intercept' issue is a major story, by itself - obscured in the mysterious cloud of "national security." That aspect is beyond the pale of "impossible." At a minimum, we know from documentation that the fighters which were launched from Langley "cruised" to the Pentagon; there was no hurry. Why should they hurry?? There were obviously no airplanes to intercept!

SO MANY BOOKS, WEB SITES - AND ALL THOSE PICTURES -

To the world of the legitimately curious, one's attention should first go to an early view of the airport fire trucks, attacking the blaze.
premiers-secours2.jpg


Note the un-collapsed wall and the firemen, obviously not concerned with the building occupants. No hand-lines are deployed and oriented toward the building. There are no firemen with shiny aluminized protective hoods donned, prepared to penetrate a jet fuel fire, in a rescue attempt. No suggestion of an aircraft crash.

The fact is that there were tremendous firefighting resources dispatched to the Pentagon; what happened to them?

In the picture below, the vehicle tracks betray these fire trucks as the first to the scene. There is no suggestion of an aircraft crash and the expected fuel fire - NONE! The firemen should be in aluminum-clad suits, with hand-lines extended to the building, to "penetrate" the fire, looking for survivors of the building or the supposed aircraft. The clue is in the background smoke; indicative of a structural fire, coming from the interior rings.

Next, go to the famous Associated Press photo (next picture) on the cover of "The Big Lie" - Thierry Meyssan. (The contents of that book is a MUST for any serious American.)

Second to Myessan's first book is "The War on Freedom" - by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed. Together, they tell a concise and well-documented truth, versus raw assertion in the mainstream media.

The second Thierry Meyssan book, "Pentagate," adds to the political issues, further demonstrating the discrepancies, which should NOT have escaped any law enforcement agency or official.

As to the "official" investigation, David Ray Griffin's book on the 9/11 Commission Report - "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions" is a must-read.

Additionally, there are many writers such as John Kaminski, who are passionately dedicated to solving the political mysteries behind the horror of 9-11. The desperately needed answers are both the key to America's obscure past and serve as a predictor of an obviously murderous future. Those such as essayist and author, Kaminski, are as famous for clear, but blistering rants, posted on hundreds of websites around the world.

Kaminski's work is collected in two books, "America's Autopsy Report" and another, due out soon titled "The Perfect Enemy."

In the background of 9-11 is the patently phony "Gulf of Tonkin Incident," which precipitated the buildup to the corrupt Viet Nam War. 9-11 registers as a grander version of that event, with accompanying American tyranny. However unpopular it is to say, the wars precipitated out of 9-11 are War Crimes!

Thus it's mandatory for America, in particular, to gain a firm grip on the details behind the9-11 fraud. After the legacy of Nazi Germany, America totally lacks the ability to say, "We didn't know!"

Those such as Kaminski (however incendiary they may be) convincingly illustrate the motives and goals powering those persons within the American government who collectively engineered an atrocity, which almost instantly killed thousands of American citizens, merely to enrich the privileged and powerful. To date, that effort is a shameful success.

However controversial such WORKS may be, their content - ironically - offers phenomenally more trustworthy fact and plausibility than the pandered "official" positions, since 9-11.

Understanding the mechanics, motives and politics of what really happened before, during and after 9-11 is crucial to the prevention of the total destruction of the American Constitution and the traditional American way of life.

History is clear that whatever calamity happens to America, happens to the remainder of the globe. Hence, the American version of "globalization" is to be feared with serious and grievous trepidation.

Whatever anyone may think of the authors, the essence of the presented issues are well written and, unfortunately, compelling.


REVERSING CONSENSUS

While the "regular" mass media has done a remarkable job of presenting the 'official' version of 9-11, there is a rapidly growing consensus of free-thinkers, offering responsible analysis of 9-11. This information is found in books, videotapes, DVDs and, of course, online. Although many of the Internet sites lack the exposure of commercial marketing, there doesn't seem to be an end to the list of sites which parallel, in part or in whole, the contents herein. One such "Link Central" site is found at Citizens for a Legitimate Government. Granted, there are a significant number of exclusively "wacko" online sites, as well.

Returning to the Pictures ....

Look at the picture below. As later pictures will illustrate, the left-hand column of smoke is coming from a burning car. The right-hand smoke column is coming from a large portable generator unit. Where's the "aircraft" smoke? The column of smoke to the interior of the building comes from a hole in the "C" ring, far from the supposed exit hole of the "aircraft." (This picture was taken during an 'evacuation' of the site; fearing a second strike.)

Pictures demonstrate that there are three holes in the "C" ring. [Third ring from the building exterior.] Those three holes are sufficiently distant from each other to make any person wonder what actually happened.

634945.jpg


There should be no doubt that this is a legitimate photo. Other photos show the airport fire-trucks having been at the fire scene, putting down the fire - with the roof line intact. In the photo above, the roof has collapsed and the airport fire trucks have withdrawn to an 'evacuation' position. In theory, there may be struggling survivors in the building. The un-burned jet fuel (mythical) could re-ignite. Yet the crew who can do the most good has withdrawn.

The picture shows, among other things, a lull in the Pentagon fire, sometime after the alleged initial fiery explosion, illustrated in the phony Pentagon security video. The fire equipment and ambulances are standing by - as though waiting for something to happen. How long had they been there? Look closely, the roof has collapsed. What was going on, that they should just wait? What was known? Why wouldn't fire equipment heroically rush toward the obvious fire, on the Pentagon, of all buildings? Why is the scene not crowded with rescue personnel?

Notice that the column of dark smoke on the right roughly marks the alleged impact point. Notice the third-floor windows behind the heliport "control tower" cab - in good condition; they will later be pouring out flames - mysteriously. Note the number of windows from the smoke damage to the "columns" to the far left - behind the heliport tower "cab." Later you will see fire pouring out of these, begging the question, "How did such a fire develop, with all that fire equipment just sitting there?" That's no minor question!

Even with a report of another aircraft inbound, the majority of the rescue equipment is too close to be in a true "evacuation" position. If another strike was feared, it certainly wouldn't be at the same site.

The most damning part of the pictures associated with the Pentagon, is that there is clearly no attempt to penetrate the interior, so as to save aircraft(?) occupants or possibly employee lives; Pentagon or contractors'. A videotape exists, which verifies that statement; it's not just idle opinion.

pelouse.jpg


This is the Pentagon! Just imagine, there isn't even a well-developed fire, yet there is no major attempt to extinguish what fire there is - NOR to try to rescue anyone; while a rescue would be relatively easy. By any reasonable standard, this picture should show columns of water pouring into the flaming windows - there are none! Within any measure of "reasonable expectation," the lawn should be crowded with fire trucks and ambulances. None of the famous 'aluminum-clad' suits are seen; indicating the purported hydrocarbon fire. What did they know?

For that matter, on a Tuesday, where were the contractors? There's an interesting question, by itself. Was this another event on the order of the BATF people getting the morning off in the Oklahoma City bombing?

With a few seconds of thought, it should be clear that the emergency crews had no reason to think that an aircraft had hit the Pentagon. The "usual" pieces were not in evidence. The area was under construction; probably reported to be free of workers, or other occupants.

In the pictures of the collapsed portion, offices above the strike zone are free of fire damage, with offices far distant in full blaze. Are we to believe that the sprinkler system worked at the impact zone, but not further away?

Again, notice the obvious lull in the "fire," in the picture below. The collective of the Pentagon pictures and videotape illustrates a strange delay in attacking the fire. On the Pentagon, in particular, there is something incredibly strange in that thought. In the background history, there is no accountability for such delays.

Once again, in the timeframe of this scene, a pullback was ordered by the FBI (per the After-Action report), pending the purported crash of Flight 93. Supposedly, another attack was feared on the Pentagon. Strangely, the building wasn't evacuated, just the rescue crews. WHY? As one views this particular image, above, there is no doubt that a plane did not hit the Pentagon. There is no hole big enough to swallow a 757. There is no distinctive impact damage to the fa
 
Regarding the time of 9:31 a.m.:

"Published on 9/12/2001 by the Associated Press
Terrorists Attack N.Y., Washington
by Staff Writer"
It reads: "Meanwhile, at about 9:30 a.m., an airliner hit the Pentagon -- the five-sided headquarters of the American military. ''There was screaming and pandemonium,'' said Terry Yonkers, an Air Force civilian employee at work inside the building."

But a week later the story is different:

Published on 9/18/2001 in the CNN.com

by Staff Writer":
It reads: "9:43 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 crashes into the Pentagon, sending up a huge plume of smoke. Evacuation begins immediately"

One thought is that by changing the time one may send a message to those who witnessed the real thing that what they saw did not happen the way they witnessed it- so what they THINK they saw was not real. It happened the way they were told afterwards. Also the case of the cellphones not working at the time of the strike, helped to prevent people form communicating about what occured until after the controls had been established.

Regarding the time of the Pentagon "hit"

I just found this from the CNN transcripts http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0109/11/bn.03.html

I am including the whole transcript , as it mentions towards the end a military helicopter circling the Pentagon, just prior to the "Explosion"
Time of airing is written as 9.42am ET and the reporter got there a bit before that. I have highlighted a few bits of interest.

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
AARON BROWN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Chris Plant (ph), a CNN producer, is at the Pentagon, where there is a significant fire.

Chris, you're on the phone, can you hear me OK?

CHRIS PLANT, CNN PRODUCER: Yes, I can hear you just fine.

BROWN: Tell me what you know.

PLANT: Well, arriving at the Pentagon a short time ago, there was a huge plume of smoke which continues to rise from the west side of the Pentagon over in the area where there is a helicopter landing zone. It's along route 27 if you're looking at maps of the area.

The building is currently being evacuated and police and emergency units are, of course, responding from all around the building and from the local Arlington County Fire Department. The plume of smoke is enormous, it's a couple of hundreds yards across at its base. It is billowing into the sky, hundreds of yards.

It's impossible for me to say from this side of the building whether the building itself is on fire or up in flames or exactly what caused this. I did not hear an explosion but there is certainly a very, very significant fire in this enormous office building on the West Front. The building is being evacuated. The Defense Protective Service officers, the police force for the Pentagon, are on a very tight string right now. As I arrived I was held at gunpoint.

BROWN: OK, Chris, Chris, Chris, let me interrupt you for a second, just hang on. Don't go anywhere.

We're getting reports now that the White House is being evacuated as well. We don't know precisely what is - caused that decision to be made, whether that is precautionary, whether something has happened at the White House.

Again the president is in Florida this morning. So the president is not in any danger, but the White House, of course, is fully operational, whether the president is there or not. And we have reports that the White House is being evacuated.

Getting back to Chris in a moment, we also have reports now from Chris Plant on the scene that the Pentagon is being evacuated as well. All of this coming on the heels of a large fire at the Pentagon. And we can't tell you at this moment whether that fire is inside the Pentagon building itself or on the grounds of the Pentagon.

And these two planes that you can see behind us that hit the World Trade Center, That's Washington, the Old Executive Office Building, I believe. And you can see the plume of smoke behind it, which we will assume until we are told otherwise that's the fire at the Pentagon. I believe that's correct, as you look now at Washington.

So we've got a major fire at the Pentagon, and the Pentagon being evacuated, the White House being evacuated. And we don't know precisely the circumstances there, what caused that decision. And we have these two enormous explosions at the World Trade Center here in New York, where two planes slammed into the buildings.

We are also getting reports now that there is a fire on the Mall in Washington, that part of the Capitol that runs essentially from the Capitol to the White House in kind of a straight line going up Washington, D.C. And we have reports of a fire there. What you are looking at now is Washington, at least if I can see the monitor in front of me, it's a little tricky from where we are. But that looks to me like the Old Executive Office Building, and then in back of it you see the large plume of smoke. Here in New York, sirens everywhere, people out in the streets staring at this grotesque scene of the World Trade Center buildings.

It was in February of '93, if memory serves me correctly, that there was an attack, a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. A bomb exploded in the garage of the Trade Center on that day in February of '93. Now here we are in the year 2001, and what appears to be deliberate attacks on the World Trade Center. And then we have these two reports out of Washington, the fire at the Pentagon.

Chris Plant is still on the phone, I do believe - all right, we'll get to him in a second. Greta Van Susteren is at National Airport in Washington.

Greta, what are you hearing?

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I just got off my plane, I was headed to New York, planes were stalled. I'm at National Airport on the parking lot. I heard a huge the noise. I looked over in the direction of the Pentagon, there is a huge plume of smoke coming from that area. I can't verify it's the Pentagon because there are these buildings in the way. You see particles coming down in the air. Some sort of white particles. I can't tell what that is. I'd heard a noise slightly before I'd seen the smoke. I didn't know if it was an airplane or it was a bomb, but it was certainly something. And obviously there's a terrific fire going on.

The skies are clear here except for the tremendous amount of smoke that's coming from there, lots of sirens, from all different directions, and of course, a lot of uncertainty here at National Airport.

BROWN: Greta, thank you. I want to just, again, recap as we pick up small pieces of information along the way. Associated Press is reporting that a plane (A: AP was quick to put that across), it was a plane that crashed at the Pentagon. And the Pentagon is being evacuated. There's a large fire there, and that is the smoke you see in the shot that you are looking at now. Whether that fire is in the building itself or outside we have not yet confirmed. There is a fire on the Mall in Washington. The cause of the fire on the Mall in Washington we cannot yet tell you. We can tell you that the White House has been evacuated. And we can tell you that two planes have crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, all of this began just a little more than an hour ago, at about 8:45 Eastern time.

Chris Plant, tell me what you've learned since we last talked.

PLANT: Well, and speaking to people here at the Pentagon, as they're being evacuated from the building. I'm told by several people that there was, in fact, an explosion.

I was told by one witness, an Air Force enlisted - senior enlisted man, that he was outside when it occurred. He said that he saw a helicopter circle the building. He said it appeared to be a U.S. military helicopter, and that it disappeared behind the building where the helicopter landing zone is - excuse me - and he then saw fireball go into the sky.

I'm attempting to make my way around to that side of the building in my car right now to see if I can get a better visual perspective on the scene on that side of the building. But I can tell you that security has certainly clamped down. The U.S. Park Police another federal law enforcement department, has arrived in force on the scene. There is a Park Police helicopter overhead, every car arrives at the gates where I was located was being stopped by officers at gun point, everyone is being forced out of their vehicles as they arrive at the Pentagon.

It's a very tense situation obviously, but initial reports from witnesses indicate that there was in fact a helicopter circling the building, contrary to what the AP reported, according to the witnesses I've spoken to anyway, and that this helicopter disappeared behind the building, and that there was then an explosion. That's about all I have from here.

BROWN: OK. Let's do this, Chris, why don't you continue reporting, and we will pass along a couple of other things that we're picking up along the way. Trading at the New York Stock Exchange, the stock exchange, as many of you probably know, but some of don't, is in that part of Lower Manhattan, not quite as far down as the Trade Center, but is in that part of Lower Manhattan, and trading has been suspended there. Bridges and tunnels coming into New York have been closed. That will create a whole different set of problems. We are also being told that the FAA has suspended takeoffs and landings, and I want to make sure I get this right, guys, that in all - at all airports around the country.

So air travel in this country has come to a halt this morning as clearly people are trying, people in government, people, police forces, fire departments are trying to figure out what exactly is going on. There are several, now, incidents that look for all that we can tell to be a major terrorist attack here in the United States. So all airports, all across the country are closed, all bridges and tunnels coming into Manhattan are closed, the Pentagon has been evacuated or is being evacuated, the White House is being evacuated.

The president, who is in Sarasota today to make a speech on education has spoken briefly to cameras and is - will shortly make his way back to Washington. They are checking out Air Force One now.

Let's go to Atlanta, Chad Myers can talk to us a bit about the air traffic problems.

Chad, are you there?

CHAD MYERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Aaron, yes, all of the airports across the country have been shut down. We started with zone New York, which includes Islip, Newark, JFK, La Guardia, all the way down to Philadelphia, and then IAH, Houston, and then San Francisco, and then L.A. They were just falling like a deck of cards. And then all of a sudden, the FAA just said we're shutting down everything, all flights have canceled for another seven hours, which is about 5:00 Eastern time. And then we'll reignite there, we'll take a look what's going on after that.

The probability of extension, as they call that, is high, which means even after 5:00, the airports may still be shut down. We'll keep watching it for you here from Atlanta.

BROWN: Chad, just - and if you don't know, just say you don't know. Can you recall a situation where every airport in the country had been shut down?

MYERS: Absolutely not, except in wartime, of course, Aaron, and obviously this is not that. But with all the airports that - as they were going down from west to east, we could see them, and then we could eventually see from New York. And then they canceled Boston as we got the report that the first flight, or one of the possible hijacked flights did come out of Boston, and then it just started going down from there. But never ever before have we ever seen all of the airports shut down like this, not this quickly.

BROWN: Chad, thank you. Stay on this for awhile, we'll get back to you.

We know that many people are just joining us. We want to get everyone on the same page before we move on. So, one more time let's go through the sequence of events.

At about 8:45 eastern time, a plane crashed into the foremost of those towers that are the World Trade Center. That's Air Force One you see in Florida, the president onboard. Obviously, extraordinary security around the plane before the president got on, and the president is heading back to Washington.

A short time ago, the president made a statement. He said terrorism against our nation will not stand. The government will hunt down those responsible. Mr. Bush said today we've had a national tragedy. Two planes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on the country.
 
Regarding the time of the Pentagon "hit"

Excerpt from CNN transcript http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0109/11/bn.17.html reported at 12.09pm

The tragedy was that about 9:20 this morning, Eastern Time, the plane crashed into the west side of the Pentagon.
 
An interesting analysis of the security camera recording is available on http://website.lineone.net/~bosankoe/analysis.htm there is no name of the researcher, when I try http://website.lineone.net I am redirected to http://www.tiscali.co.uk/services/webspace/index.html It does not say with certainty if it was or not a 757. It only says it depends on the angle from which it came. The author writes:

Now if we assume that it is a B757 or of equal length, then the plane, I estimate, has to have spun round about 30o towards the camera at the moment in time that this frame was taken. Otherwise, if the plane is still flying straight along the line of trajectory, then it has to be about 20% shorter than a B757.
Another website
http://www.911-strike.com/siding-scam.htm by Jerry Russell and Richard Stanley has:
"Summary
Our choice to study the Pentagon was based on the hope that we would find the "smoking gun", the unanswerable argument that would persuade any open-minded person that the US government was complicit in 9-11. We don't feel that we succeeded in that goal, and certainly we did not find a conclusive "sound byte" or "elevator pitch" that is as easy to explain and understand as the insider trading scandal, the Air Force failure to respond, the black ops intelligence connections of the "terrorist" patsies, the forewarnings from governments around the world, or the appearance of controlled demolition at WTC Building Seven. We do believe that we have put together a web of evidence that, taken all together, represents sufficient "probable cause" to call for a criminal investigation, and sufficient "preponderance of evidence" to call for a conviction in the court of public opinion."
Ralph Ornholt is to my understanding saying the same, because it is not one single something, it is the amount of unanswered questions and the massively criminal destruction of evidence. Like Anders said in an email, it is an unsolved murdercase. And I could polemically add that it is, unsolved because the controllers of the organizations that pretend to be the criminal investigators are the ones that should be investigated, only they have done a lot of work to destroy those who could speak, including those that where in the Pentagon and died there on 911. It in this respect one can understand some of the comments of Lt. Colonel Ted Anderson, see Pentagon Strike Alleged Witness Account": Don Fortunato. What pains him, is possibly that he knows he was a witness to a murder:
"Anyway, we were screaming at the firemen, 'there are people in that corridor, please let us go get them. They're Army. We're Army. There were generals there with us. We said we would take responsibility for our own welfare. But they couldn't allow that to happen.... They held us back. There were hundreds of people standing around me, and it occurred to me later that we must have appeared like protestors, the way they were holding us back. We had guys standing there with back boards, guys who just wanted to assist, guys who just wanted in. Of course, the firefighters were saving our lives, by not allowing us in. If those firemen had not been there, we would have gone back into that building for those people. And that's been the hardest thing to live with. One of the firemen told us later that they found those people, stacked up inside. They died as a group. When I sit and think about this at night by myself, the only thing that gives me some sort of comfort is the fact that they went very quickly. But I'm not sure I can live with the fact that they died 25 feet from an exit. All we had to do was go into that corridor and lead them out."

U.S. INVESTIGATING ISRAEL AS BEHIND BOMBING?

Posted By: PuzzlePieces

Caveat Lector - Hi! This report may constitute yet another fragment of
evidence suggesting that the 9 11 attacks may have involved strategic
deception. We do not endorse the information, but pass it on in the public
interest. EcoNews Service, Vancouver, BC

NEWS EMBARGO AFTER ISRAELI LINK LEAK

Stern-Intel (Canada). A US military intelligence source revealed details of an internal intelligence memo that points to the Israeli Mossad intelligence service having links to the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. The intelligence source, who requested his name be withheld, confirmed the
internal US intelligence memo circulated four weeks ago described information that pointed to the threat of a covert Israeli operation on US soil to turn mass public opinion against Palestinian Arabs via an apparent terrorist attack on US interests that would give Israel the green light to implement a large scale military onslaught against the Palestinian Arab population.
The 11 September attack has been described by experts as being too sophisticated for a lone terrorist group to execute. "This attack required a high level of military precision and the resources of an advanced intelligence agency. In addition, the attackers would have needed to be extremely familiar with both air force one flight operations, civil airline flight paths and aerial assault tactics on sensitive US cities like Washington, Stated David Stern an expert on Israeli intelligence operations.
The attacks targeted the Pentagon, World Trade Center towers, with the White House and Air Force One also being targets according to the FBI. "The attacks have certainly turned US public opinion firmly back in Israel's favor after 11 months of Palestinian uprising, heavy criticism of Israel over
war crimes allegations and racism by a UN conference in Durban. The attacks serve no Arab group or nation's interests but their timing came in the midst of international condemnation of Israel for its policy of death squad assassination of Palestinian political and police figures", added Stern.
If verified, the news of Israel's involvement in the US attack will come as no surprise to intelligence experts. The state of Israel has a long history of covert operations against Western targets with attacks on the King David Hotel, USS Liberty, murder of a Scandinavian UN envoy as well as espionage against the US during the Jonathan Pollard case.
On Wednesday the US defense department issued a warning to its officials to halt the leak of information on the investigation which it says is happening on a daily basis since the attacks occurred.
It is not a simple game. And to blame Mossad certainly does not explain it all. Why would they get so much support from inside the US? Or is it that somebody is waiting for an opportunity to strike back?
