The Fatal Flaw In
The 911 Coverup
Why can no one name the hijackers or prove they flew the planes?
By John Kaminski

Know how to tell the difference between the truth and lies of 9/11? If
they're talking about hijackers having done the dastardly deed, you
know they're part of the sinister coverup extravaganza, wittingly or
not.
In order for the people of the world to be convinced that Islamic
hijackers were responsible for terrible tragedy of 9/11, we need to
see some evidence. Not hearsay, innuendo, aspersion or promises of
evidence, but real evidence.
Otherwise, the whole subject is rightly regarded as a ruse, a setup to
conceal the identities of the real culprits, the ones who sit smugly
in front of the TV cameras and plot their cynical war on terror -
otherwise known as the war on the peoples of the world.
As President Bush continues to insist that his word be accepted as
truth on numerous questions, time after time his statements have been
revealed as blatant falsehoods. Yet he continues to repeat them, and
the whorish corporate media continues to accept them.
Why hasn't either the Bush administration or some element of law
enforcement in the United States issued a single solid piece of
evidence connecting the hijackers to the hijacked airplanes? Why don't
the alleged hijackers appear on the airport security videos? Why
aren't there credit card records of their ticket purchases?
Why did FBI director Robert Mueller say very publicly to the
Commonwealth Club of San Francisco that nothing on paper connected
Arab terrorists to 9/11? I mean, two and half years have passed. And
the feds produced 19 names within 72 hours of the disaster. Notice a
mathematical inconsistency here? All that has happened since is mere
vigilante hysteria, hypothetical scenarios trumpeted ad nauseum by
America's notoriously brainwashed Zionist press.
Seven or eight of the names on that original list have been found
living comfortably in other countries. Why hasn't the FBI made any
attempt to correct the errors made on that original list? See for
yourself. http://members.fortunecity.com/911/september-eleven/hijackers-alive.htm
and http://www.welfarestate.com/911/
And why, after much hullabaloo about Colin Powell using phony
information in his remarks to the United Nations about the reasons for
war, hasn't the U.S. government produced a single conclusive piece of
evidence to back up its claim that 9/11 was the work Osama bin Laden
and other Islamic terrorists? Not a single piece!
If you disagree, tell me what it is!
There's a simple answer to this, you know. It's because there isn't
any evidence. And why is that? Because those pseudo-Muslims revealed
to be so publicly incompetent at piloting jerkwater training planes
had absolutely zero chance of flying sophisticated jetliners into
anything narrower than the Grand Canyon, never mind executing tricky
maneuvers with extraordinarily complicated machinery.
The unknown men who played the roles of the so-called Arab terrorist
hijackers were really recruited by either American and/or Israeli
intelligence services in a scheme set up as a diversion to inflame
dumb Westerners against the Islamic world. The purpose was to divert
the world's attention from the Israeli genocide and dispossession of
the Palestinians by blaming the attacks on Muslims.
But that was only half the objective. The other half was to enable our
despicable cabal of neocon gangbangers to fleece the American public
with an endless array of no-bid contracts to enrich the conscienceless
billionaires who are really driving the war machine.
You know how the Bushista American government uses anything for PR to
supposedly authenticate its own evil agenda. If they had any concrete
evidence against the hijackers - if they even possessed all their
correct names - we would have heard about it by now. There would be an
avalanche of TV shows about them, unlike that Jewish claptrap hate
crime against Muslims that appeared on NBC the other night.
After two and half years, with the whole world knowing that eight of
the 19 names on the hijacker list are fraudulent, the FBI has made no
attempt to substitute new names. And why is that? Because the
identities of the hijackers were constructed with mostly stolen
papers, for some of the patsies designed to take the heat. In any
case, and whoever they were, there is no evidence they ever got on the
planes.
But nothing. Instead we have one minor player convicted in Germany,
then the conviction was overturned, partly because Americans refused
to help with the prosecution.
We have the so-called 20th hijacker and assorted other preposterous
character actors languishing in jails on trumped up charges. We have
security camera film at the Pentagon, which surely reveal that no
jetliner hit that building, locked away in Ashcroft's vault under the
phony aegis of national security. We have all the rubble of the World
Trade Center, which surely would have revealed the use of nuclear
explosives creating shattered beams in odd places, instantly carted
away with no forensic investigation. We have transcripts - but no
recordings - of these phony cellphone calls, some from people who may
not have even existed.
And we have the famous standdown, in which America's air defenses
suddenly evaporated - the only time in our history this has happened.
We have Marvin Bush sitting suspiciously on the board of directors of
the security company that had the contract for the Twin Towers.
We have Larry Silverstein, who conveniently leased and insured the
towers shortly before the big hits, telling officials to "pull" a
relatively intact tower, which then fell identically to the two
structures that were struck by airplanes, creating the impression that
that's the way all three came down.
We have billions of dollars of windfall profits made by savvy
investors in the days before 9/11, and an FBI investigation that
insists nothing was amiss with these spectacular deals. Of course, we
don't get the details. Only "assurances" that the trades were not
suspicious, despite patterns and results that were unprecedented in
the entire history of financial trading.
We have reports from firemen of explosions at the base of the Twin
Towers BEFORE they fell, and the seismographic evidence to back up
these assertions.
We have leader after leader saying they didn't know such a thing could
happen when the government had been studying the problem for ten
years. It had held at least two major drills simulating such a
possibility.
And we have a president sitting in a ghetto classroom in Florida, at
possibily the most pivotal moment in American history, pretending to
read a book that he was holding upside down.
Perhaps most tellingly of all, we have the tragic tale of John
O'Neill, rabidly honest FBI investigator, prevented from following his
leads about Osama bin Laden because of the danger he would have
discovered the links from Afghanistan back to CIA headquarters. Just
review the way he was prevented from conducting his probe of the Cole
bombing, and prevented by digging into other leads by the same guys -
namely insiders Louis Freeh and Thomas Picard - who prevented
significant reports from other FBI agents from seeing the light of
day.
So, how does all that make you regard the supposedly impartial
government panel investigating these matters? When they talk about
Presidential Daily Briefings months before the event, or chitchat with
presidential flunkies who leak out these pseudorevelations about this
and that tidbit of essentially trivial information. And especially
when they talk about the dastardly hijackers (without being able to
name them) as if there is no question of their guilt. Talk about your
misleading urban legends! This one is the champ.
Well, no sense feigning surprise. We knew this commission was a set-up
from the get-go. Recycled Watergate investigators, even. Part of the
same bunch that has run the country and covered up everything for the
past 30 years or more.
Surely you didn't expect a real investigation. Thomas Kean declared at
the outset of his hearings that Osama bin Laden was guilty. End of
discussion. As soon as he made that statement, there was no way the
hearings could be legitimate.
Asserting that genuine Arab hijackers did not carry out the attacks of
9/11 requires analysis of two concomitant categories: the history of
American (and Israeli) involvement (and subterfuge) with Arab
terrorists, and methods of remote control of aircraft, or other means
of piloting the aircraft.
The remote control aspect continues to be a bone of contention among
legitimate pilots, with some asserting only real pilots could have
made such extemporaneous maneuvers and others insisting only remote
control could have accomplished such a feat. An interesting new
perspective on this debate can be found here:
http://joevialls.altermedia.info/wtc/radiocontrol.html
A third natural area of study in this regard would be the intimate
histories of those whom officials claim to be the hijackers, including
putting the microscope on their behavior in the days and weeks before
the tragedy.
Many researchers claim the name al-Qaeda was made up in middle '90s by
a variety of American functionaries (one of them being none other than
Richard Clarke) as an all-purpose villain the U.S. could blame as a
convenient reason for its military adventurism. And a group of Israeli
provocateurs was recently discovered trying to create their own faux
version of al-Qaeda.
How many more hints do you need? The absence of any relevant arrests
or discovery of any clues to the hierarchy of this supposedly
worldwide terror group should tell you a lot.
Al-Qaeda doesn't exist except for when they want it to, to blame for
any sort of strategic terror they have created themselves for some
political reason, like influencing the elections in Spain. Hah, that
one really backfired.
Why haven't American intelligence operatives gone to these foreign
countries to interview these named hijackers who turned out to be
alive? Simple. Because they knew the list was fiction in the first
place, and the Arab-types who have been named as terror gurus are
mostly their own employees, or people who have been set up by them.
It is a celebrated fact that Mohammed Atta and some of his friends
were seen in nightclubs in the hours before 9/11, certainly a fact
that argues against them being able to carry out their supposed
missions because they were motivated by Islamic religious zeal. So
their appearance in strip clubs blows the whole story that they were
devout Muslims giving their lives to Allah. Devout Muslims don't
drink, never mind cavort with strippers.
If we knew who the hijackers were, we'd know their names, wouldn't we?
Or is it now worth bombing other nations and murdering thousands of
innocent people because we say we know who the hijackers were, even
though we don't know their names? It is the great shame of the
American people that they have approved of the murders of thousands of
people because of that blatant lie.
Many of the men who were fingered as 9/11 hijackers received
preferential treatment from American immigration officials when it
came to entering and leaving the U.S. on numerous occasions. Many of
these same names reportedly trained at various U.S. military
installations.
What has resulted after two and a half years of work by America's
crack intelligence agencies, besides the persecution of Muslims
throughout the world?
Well, hundreds of innocent people have been unjustly imprisoned and
tortured at Guantanamo. All of them innocent, hapless dupes rounded up
in a Rumsfeld-ordered dragnet in Pakistan after U.S. planes had
(inadvertently or otherwise) allowed the Taliban fighters to escape
with the Pakistani army from Afghanistan.
Two pathetic flunkies have been arrested and held without due process.
One of them, the notoriously pathetic shoe bomber who was obviously a
deranged personality and not a member of any terror network, was
ceremoniously sentenced to life in prison.
Other than that, no al-Qaeda kingpins have been even named, never mind
apprehended. No clue about how the 9/11 attacks were engineered has
ever emerged. This is simply not consistent with being able to name
all 19 hijackers the day after the attacks. It is a case of pretending
you have all of the information instantly, and then pretending you no
information for the next two years. What a smell!
This means two things: that the list of 19 names was a total
fabrication, and that the worldwide terror network called al-Qaeda is
also a total fabrication, the wet dream brainchild of the CIA and the
Mossad to be trotted out as an excuse for a whole string of terror
attacks - Madrid, Bali, Riyadh, Istanbul, etc. - that were really
carried out by the CIA and the Mossad themselves, cleverly involving
designated patsies to give the operations a suitably foreign flavor.
Al-Qaeda does not exist except as a bogeyman invented by Western
powers to justify their evil agenda. There were no hijackers flying
those planes on 9/11. And honest FBI agents have been prevented from
publicizing that fact.
If you disagree, prove it! The world knows you can't, though the
high-tech mass murder by the United States and Israel spreads around
the world because of this falsified version of events.
History will show - and the public will soon realize - that those who
are telling these lies not only allowed 9/11 to happen, but planned it
for their own personal advantage.
The only question that remains is will the American public awaken to
this murderous, treasonous scam before the perpetrators achieve their
objective and bury the whole planet in the flames of their insane
perfidy.
Just remember. If they're talking about the hijackers, they're part of
the coverup, whether they know it or not.
Much more productive would be analyzing the tiny hole in the Pentagon,
how the ejected material in the WTC photos prove there were
unexplained explosions, or how those emotional cellphone calls could
not possibly have been made as government flunkies have presented
them.
But you won't hear the official 9/11 commissioners talking about any
of that, because they are definitely part of the coverup. You can
obviously tell, because they keep talking about the hijackers.

Other than a general alert to citizens of the world about the basic
lies that continue to underlie all political debate in the United
States at this time, there is another, more pressing reason to discuss
and contemplate all these matters at this time.
On Tuesday, April 20, and Wednesday, April 28, the U.S. Supreme Court
will hear arguments on the power claimed by the President to designate
people as "enemy combatants" and have them incarcerated by the
military - indefinitely, without charges, and without access to the
court system--solely on his say-so.
As my friend Alvin notes, "This is a critical moment in United States
history."
"How the court rules on these cases will determine the type of country
we will be living in. We urge those of you who can to be present
outside the Supreme Court on these dates," said Alvin. For more
information please see http://www.nlg.org/eccases/
It is one thing to realize all law enforcement and defense strategies
in America in 2004 have become lies.
It is quite another to incorporate those lies into the law itself, and
that is about to happen next week.
The decision expected will make a time of darkness grow even darker,
and practically guarantee that freedom and justice for all is now an
outmoded phrase that has been conveniently discarded by the evil
robots who now control the lives of every person on earth.

Those planes pulled "G" forces in those turns that were impossible.
The planes have built-in safeguards that make such maneuvers
impossible (for the protection of the passenger and crew), EVEN WHEN
AUTOPILOT IS DISABLED. The only way those planes could have done those
maneuvers is if their internal safety restraints were overruled from
outside remote control. This bit of information COMES FROM COMMERCIAL
AIRPLANE PILOTS, and was widely available days after 9-11 when
commercial pilots said what they saw was impossible.

You are correct on only one point.
My worst nightmare is that people like you will print such drivel.

AUTOPILOT IS DISABLED. The only way those planes could have done those
maneuvers is if their internal safety restraints were overruled from
outside remote control. This bit of information COMES FROM COMMERCIAL
AIRPLANE PILOTS, and was widely available days after 9-11 when
commercial pilots said what they saw was impossible.

The Fatal Flaw In
The 911 Coverup
Why can no one name the hijackers or prove they flew the planes?
They identified most the hijackers early because the people on the
planes (before they died) used their cell phones to give the police the
hijacker's seat numbers.

FBI releases updated list of alleged hijackers
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-The FBI is reaching out to the public by releasing
photographs of the 19
suspected hijackers, a move designed to bring in information from
people who may have seen the
men before the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
As Attorney General John Ashcroft launched a "national
neighborhood watch" with the release of
the photos, FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged that
questions remained about whether an
accompanying list contained the true names of the 19.
"What we are currently doing is determining whether, when these
individuals came to the United
States, these were their real names or they changed their names
for use with false identification in
the United States," Mueller said.
The FBI director said there was evidence that one or more of the
hijackers had had contacts with
al-Qaida, the network associated with Osama bin Laden, the exiled
Saudi millionaire who is the
Bush administration's top suspect in the attacks.

The Perplexing Puzzle Of The Published Passenger Lists
By Gary North
Maybe you like puzzles. I hope so. I don't like them. I regard
them as a challenge, not a game. I
avoid them because, when I cannot find a solution, my mind won't
stop working on them. Then I
get very frustrated. So, I avoid magic shows, crossword puzzles,
and similar brain- twisters.
Yet I am also a historian with a Ph.D. Historians are trained to
solve puzzles with insufficient
pieces. Historians never have all of the evidence that they would
like in order to come up with a
coherent explanation of what happened. They always want another
piece in the puzzle before they
go into print. (Of course, once they go into print, they will
tend to reject any newly discovered
piece that messes up their version of the completed puzzle.) At
some point, they are supposed to
come to a conclusion. They are supposed to make a judgment about
what happened.
I am presently stuck. So, I am sending out this report. Maybe
there is someone my list who can
get me unstuck.
Years ago, I saw a movie, "My Cousin Vinnie." Vinnie was studying
to be a lawyer. He wasn't a
good classroom student, but he had a unique ability. He could
figure out how things fit together.
Show him a magic trick, and he could tell you how the magician
did it. Tell him a story with a
missing link, and he could identify where the missing link was,
and maybe what it was. He could
solve puzzles.
I am trying to locate Vinnie.
This puzzle is no game. The United States has gone to war on the
basis of one solution to this puzzle. We have not yet been told
what this solution is.
The puzzle begins with the crash of four airliners. We must work
our way backward from this.
To do this, I decided to begin with official information that was
published 16 days after the attack.
To work my way backwards, I first leaped forward.
ALLEGED HIJACKERS
On September 27, the Associated Press released a story about the
hijackers. The version that I
read, published in the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, referred to
these men as alleged
hijackers. I shall do the same.
I located this article by using www.daypop.com. Daypop is the
most complete archive of recent
news stories on the Web. Daypop allows you to search for stories
that are up to four weeks old.
I searched for "passenger list" and "hijackers." Daypop produced
three pages of links-not that
many. Almost all of these links were to the same AP story, which
was published by numerous
on-line news sources. Here is the version I used.
http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/terrorism/nation/0927hijackerlist.html
The headline reads: "FBI releases updated list of alleged
hijackers." Above the headline is a link
that says, "Click here to see 19 suspected hijackers." I clicked
it. A large box popped up. It took
a while for the photos to appear. There are 19 photos, along with
names. The names appear to be
Middle Eastern-Arabs. Most of the men look like Arabs, although a
few might pass as Mexicans. Only one of them looked vaguely like
a European.
They are divided into four lists, according to which flight they
are said to have boarded. There were
five men on American Airlines Flight 77, five on AA Flight 11,
five on United Airlines Flight 175,
and four on UA Flight 93 -- the flight that crashed in
Pennsylvania.
Let's return to the AP story itself. We read the following:
As Attorney General John Ashcroft launched a "national
neighborhood watch" with the release of
the photos, FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged that
questions remained about whether an
accompanying list contained the true names of the 19.
"What we are currently doing is determining whether, when these
individuals came to the United States, these were their real
names or they changed their names for use with false
identification in
the United States," Mueller said.
The FBI director said there was evidence that one or more of the
hijackers had had contacts with al-Qaida, the network associated
with Osama bin Laden, the exiled Saudi millionaire who is the
Bush administration's top suspect in the attacks.
This story indicates that, as of September 27, the FBI was not
certain whether these suspects had used their real names. The
remainder of the story listed each of their names, along with
possible aliases. The aliases all look like Arab names.
I have discovered no additional information released to the
general public regarding these suspects.
I now backtrack to the morning of September 11. The issue that I
am trying to deal with is airline security. To draw rational
conclusions about how the alleged hijackers accomplished their
acts of terrorism, we must begin with airline security.
The United States has now gone to war because of a breakdown
somewhere in airline security procedures. Yet nobody in
government is blaming the specific airlines. They are blaming the
procedures. This is why I want you mentally to go through the
procedures with me. I have hit a
brick wall. I am asking you to help me knock it down. I will show
you how I went through the procedures mentally. See if you can
figure out which step I missed.
Step One is check-in.
STEP ONE: CHECK-IN
On September 11, airline check-in counters were the only places
in the United States that required travellers to present a photo
ID in order to travel. A photo ID meant (and still means) a card
issued by some branch of civil government. Years ago, the United
States government took he first step toward a national ID card
when it mandated the requirement that all passengers present a
photo ID card before being allowed to get on a commercial
airplane.
This means that the tightest security that the typical American
ever confronts is airport security.
This is the model for all other security systems governing the
general public.
Let's go through the check-in routine together. Pretend that it's
September 11, and you are a
check-in agent at either a United Airlines counter or an American
Airlines counter. It is your job to
ask the standard questions. "Did you pack your own luggage? Have
you had it in your possession
at all times?" Then you ask for a photo ID. The name on the ID
must match the name on the ticket. The photo must match the
person presenting the card.
I began with American Airlines, Flight 11. This was the plane
that crashed into the north tower of
the World Trade Center. I began with the list of passengers. This
was not difficult. The passenger
lists for all four planes are posted on CNN's Website.
Click on the link. This is a long link for the formatting of my
newsletter. If it is broken on your
screen, you will have to paste it into your Web browser's address
box. This will take two steps.
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/trade.center/victims/AA11.victims.html
The CNN page says that there were 92 people on board. I suggest
that you print out the list. Part
of my exercise was to count the names of the passengers. Besides,
you never know when a Web
page will disappear.
Do you have the print-out in front of you? Count the names. I get
86 names, including the crew.
But the CNN page says 92 people were on board.
None of the 86 names is an Arab name. This is very, very strange.
First, how did the CNN
list-compiler know that there were 92 people on board? Five of
them are not listed. Second, how
did anyone get on board who was not on the list of ticketed
passengers?
To get onto the flight legally, each passenger had to have a
ticket with his or her name on it. Each
passenger had to present a photo ID to the check-in agent. The
check-in agent was supposed to
look at the picture and the person, and then make a judgment. Was
it the same person? If the
mandated procedure was followed, the check-in agent decided that
the ticket's name, the photo
ID's name, the photo, and the ID-holder's face all matched. If
there was any doubt, the check-in
agent was supposed to ask for some other form of identification.
If there was none, the person
was not allowed to board the plane.
We are told by the United States government that five Arabs
somehow got through this initial
screening procedure. How did they do this? This is puzzle number
one regarding Flight 11. Puzzle
number two has to do with the incomplete passenger list.
Airlines keep a list of passengers on board. This is for
insurance purposes, should there be a
crash. It is also for the purpose of notifying relatives after a
crash. It is also for the purpose of
in-cabin screening. "Has everyone paid who is on the plane?" And,
finally, is there a hijacker on
board?
On American Airlines Flight 11, there were no Arab names on the
passenger list. So, how does
the government know who the hijackers were?
Why does CNN's Web page list 92 dead, when there are only 86 name
listed? Who was the non-Arab?
I have seen nothing about government accusations against American
Airlines for substandard check-in security procedures. In fact, I
have seen nothing about the discrepancy between the published
names and the published numbers regarding how many people were on
board.
Let's go to American Airlines Flight 77. This plane crashed into
the Pentagon.
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/trade.center/victims/AA77.victims.html
We are told that 64 people were on board. I count 56, including 6
crew members. There is no explanation offered for the absence of
8 names. There is no Arab name on this list.
Something is definitely wrong here.
What about United Airlines? Did the company's employees follow
the same check-in procedure?
Presumably, they did. I checked Flight 175, which crashed into
the south tower.
There were 56 people on board, according to CNN's summation. I
printed out the list. I counted the
names. Once again, they don't add up. The summation says there
were 2 pilots, 7 flight attendants, and 56 passengers. I counted
the names. The total is 56 -- the number attributed to the
passengers. Nine names are missing. None of the listed names is
Arab.
This leaves United Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania. It
had 45 people on board, according
to the summation.
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/trade.center/victims/ua93.victims.html
Again, there is a discrepancy. Only 33 names appear on the list.
A dozen names are missing.
Among the missing names are the four Arabs who allegedly hijacked
the plane.
So, the published names in no instance match the total listed for
the number of people on board.
CNN really should offer an explanation for this discrepancy.
In no case does an Arab name appear on a list, let alone one of
the alleged hijackers.
How did CNN fail to count the names accurately? Did the airlines
not provide the full list of each
flight's names? Perhaps so.
This raises the next question. How did the airlines know how many
people were on each of these
flights? The airlines must have had a list for each flight. What
possible reason could they have had
for not releasing the full lists? Finally, why are there no Arabs
listed on any of these lists, let alone
the specific Arabs identified by the Attorney General and the
head of the FBI in an Associated
Press story?
I do not understand how 19 Arabs could have evaded the check-in
procedures. I also do not understand why every passenger's name
is not on the published lists.
I have seen no other source of the passenger lists. (Another
search word: "manifests.") It has now
been over a month since the attack. Where is a complete list? I
don't know. Where is a complete
list of all four flights that has the alleged hijackers' names on
it? I don't know.
Finally, where is some enterprising reporter who is trying to get
answers? I don't know.
What about Step Two?
STEP TWO: ON-BOARD SEATING
There were multiple terrorists in the cabin of each plane when
the plane left the ground. They did
not get there through the ticket-screening system. Or did they?
If they did, then how?
I assume here-again, maybe I am wrong-that they got there through
another entrance. Maybe
they were part of the food service team.
These were all cross-country flights. The planes were loaded with
lots of fuel, which is why they
were selected: flying bombs. On cross-country flights, passengers
still are given meals, not just
pretzels and soft drinks. The number of meals is supposed to
match the number of people on board, or at least come close.
Flight attendants have a list of passengers and their assigned
seats. This is to enable them to
identify passengers who have requested special meals, such as
kosher meals. It is also to enable
them to identify people who have not bought a ticket. Flight
attendants are supposed to know who
has been assigned to which seat.
It is September 11. Here is the situation: there are an extra
five men on three flights, and four extra men on Flight 93.
You have already seen the photos of these men. If I had been a
flight attendant, and I saw five
extra men who looked like they did-young, Arabic, and without
tickets-I would have asked
them to explain why they were on board. I would not have assumed
that they belonged there.
Are we to assume that on four separate flights, none of the
flight attendants noticed that
something was wrong? Are we to believe that they failed to notice
that five or four extra
passengers were on board who were not on the passenger list?
Furthermore, these men looked
as though they were of one ethnic group. They all had Arabic
accents, I presume.
Why did the flight attendants ignore all this? There is no
indication from the government that these
men took over all four planes while the planes were still on the
ground. Even if they had, the pilots
would not have taken off if there were hijackers on board. They
would have waited to hear the
demands, and the demand to "take off now" would have been refused
by at least one flight crew-
and I believe all four.
We need a theory of the co-ordinated hijacking that rests on a
plausible cause-and-effect
sequence that does not assume the complete failure of both the
check-in procedures and the
on-board seating procedures on four separate flights on two
separate airlines. If the explanation
does rely on a theory of check-in procedural breakdown, where is
the evidence?
I have heard no such theory from the government. I have heard no
such theory from the news
media. In fact, I have heard neither the government nor the
mainstream media even mention these
perplexing problems. Perhaps you have. If so, I would like to see
the Web link or a reference to
the newspaper or other source where these matters have been
discussed.
I don't mean this or that discussion forum devoted to conspiracy
theories. I mean the mainstream
press. It is very peculiar that the mainstream media and the
government have not offered a detailed theory of how the
hijackers evaded both the check-in procedures and the pre-takeoff
seating procedures.
Perhaps some airline industry publication has dealt with this. If
so, I would like to see the document.
I would also like to see passenger lists that include every
passenger's name. I want to see 19 Arab names on these complete
lists.
If these updated lists are ever released, I want to see that they
match the original lists that were
not released immediately. I want to know that any new names have
not been added retroactively. I
want evidence-from travel agencies' records and credit card
records-that everyone on each
plane's updated passenger list actually bought a ticket.
Is this to much to ask? So far, apparently it is.
CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen. Well, not all of them. We
have gone to war based on one
of them. But I don't see how anyone can make an accurate judgment
about who was behind the
attacks until he has a plausible explanation of how the hijackers
got onto the planes and were not
removed.
I am not interested in any theory about who did it until I have a
plausible explanation for how he
did it.
The key to discovering who planned this attack is inescapably
tied to the procedures used by his
agents to do it.
I don't see how they did it, yet I know that three planes crashed
into highly visible targets. A fourth
plane had veered off course, and it seems plausible that it was
part of a co-ordinated attack. This
has yet to be proven, but it seems plausible.
We keep hearing about plastic knives and box cutters. But we hear
nothing about how these 19
men took plastic knives and box cutters onto four planes, and no
one noticed that anything was
amiss until the planes were in the air.
So, you tell me. How did 19 Arabs get onto these planes and then
remain inconspicuous until the
planes were aloft?
CONCLUSION
I have no conclusion. I told you this at the beginning. I am
stuck.
I am looking for Vinnie. Maybe you're Vinnie. After you have
drawn your own conclusion, and it
seems reasonable, let me know.
But before you do, please run your theory by someone whose
judgment you trust. See if that
person thinks your theory is plausible. See if he or she can pick
holes in it. Don't make me your
first guinea pig. I want to be at least second. Third would be
even better.
We need to get the division of intellectual labor working here.
As the Bible says, "Two are better
than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For
if they fall, the one will lift up his
fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath
not another to help him up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).
