DS:
I hope you are wrong. I do. But I can’t fight with you or argue with you on it, because it does seem to be heading that way.
AJ:
For trying to protect their country, the heroes get crucified.
DS:
The heroes get crucified, and the bureaucrats sit out there and tell each other what a great job they are doing until another city blows up, and then they say, “We need more tools.” They have all the tools in the world. They could have found the money years ago, if they had just listened. We’ve got to go public because we tried to do it the right way. We tried to do it by going to the people in
63
whom you would normally repose your confidence and trust. It didn’t work. Nobody cares.
AJ:
Well, we know this. The bureaucrats are going to get even more funding now.
The Anthrax Attacks
You want more evidence of prior knowledge? On October 24, 2001, the Associated Press reported that Ari Fleischer, in a White House press briefing, admitted that George W. Bush and much of his cabinet were already on Cipro on September 11, four weeks before the first traces of anthrax popped up in Boca Raton, Florida. Since then, the FBI had admitted that the anthrax was sent from Fort Detrick, Maryland, a U.S. biological weapons lab. The anthrax letters arrived at the Capitol building at a critical juncture, just as the USA Patriot Act was being considered.
Pakistan’s Secret Police and the “Airlift of Evil”
Pakistan’s Secret Police (ISI) is a publicly known front of the CIA. In 2000, US
intelligence agencies aided General Musharraf in a successful coup. In late 2001, Pakistani intelligence, using US aircraft, airlifted 6,000 taliban and al-Qaeda leaders to safety out of Afghanistan (
MSNBC
, November 29, 2001, “Airlift of Evil”; The
New
Yorker
, January 21, 2002, “The Getaway”; The
Times
, January 21, 2002, “US Let Taleban Men Escape”).
In the summer of 2001, Pakistani ISI chief, General Ahmed, ordered an aide to wiretransfer $100,000 to Mohammed Atta, who, according to the Federal Government, was the head terrorist in the suicide hijackings. Soon after revelations of this transaction surfaced, General Ahmed resigned.
Who would have ever guessed that General Mahmoud Ahmed, the Head of Pakistani Intelligence, the man who wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta, would just so happen to
64
be in Washington DC the week of September 11th? General Ahmed arrived September 4th in the United States on an official visit and State Department visa. From September 49 he met with the heads of U.S. intelligence, including CIA Director George Tenet.
On the morning of September 11, General Ahmed was in a breakfast meeting on Capitol Hill with both of the chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, Senator Bob Graham and Representative Porter Goss. Months later, in July 2002, these same Congressmen on the Joint Intelligence Committee feigned ignorance and conducted a shameless Warren Commission-style whitewash of the government prior knowledge story.
It is important to note that the government prior knowledge story that dominated the front pages of newspapers in May of 2002 was in itself a distraction. The propagandists knew that they were losing control of the story as more and more people began to come forward to blow the whistle on government involvement in September 11th. As concrete facts began to emerge documenting the evidence that September 11 was a carefully crafted intelligence operation conducted by the West, they needed to get out in front of the story and to gain control of it. Ari Fleischer and Condoleeza Rice, and even Bush gave speeches admitting that mistakes were made, but “it was all accidental. They just missed the clues…and if the people would just give up their liberties the security forces would be more than happy to ensure their safety.”
The problem wasn’t that the CIA had founded, funded and shepherded the radical Islamic brigades, nor was it that they were using these groups to destabilize Arab countries as a type of super-provocateur core, it was that the tripling of the anti-terrorism budget in 1996 wasn’t enough. The internal security forces needed an additional $38 billion “to keep us safe.” That’s why they missed all the warnings.
That’s right, Bush “missed” all the warnings, from the French, from the Germans, from the Russians, and from the Iranians. I guess that’s why he had already gone over detailed war plans to occupy Afghanistan on September 9th (source: MSNBC, May 16, 2002) and
65
had the necessary documents on his desk ready to be signed. Of course, he had to wait until September 11th, when the CIA-controlled Al-Qaeda carried out their operational orders and gave him the pretext to make his move.
Military in Place Prior to 9-11
In early September, 2001 years of military planning came together just in time for September 11th. In a giant exercise code-named Operation Swift Sword, 23,000 British troops had massed in Oman. Coinciding with Operation Swift Sword, 2 US carrier battle groups arrived right on time in the Gulf of Arabia, just 10 miles off the Pakistani coast. Simultaneously, more than 17,000 US troops rendezvoused with 23,000 NATO troops in Egypt for Operation Bright Star.
The entire military force was in place before the first passenger jet slammed into the World Trade Center (sources:
Fox News
,
CNN
,
The Observer
). Then, on the 19th of May, 2002 the White House put out a press release saying that the President had papers on his desk that would set in motion an attack on the Taliban and al-Qaeda (
Washington
Post
, May 20, 2002).
Jeb Bush Declares Martial Law on September 7, 2001
On the homefront, President Bush’s brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush signed an unprecedented emergency State Executive Order (01-261) laying out new guidelines for setting up military rule (martial law) in Florida. Governor Jeb Bush signed his Executive Order on September 7, 2001 despite the fact that there were no major natural or manmade disasters at the time of its drafting.
“I hereby declare that a state of emergency exists in the state of Florida...The Authority to suspend the effect of any statute or rule governing the conduct of state business, and further authority to suspend the effect of any order or rule of any government entity...The authority to
66
seize and utilize any and all real or personal property as needed to meet this emergency...The authority to order the evacuation of any or all persons from any location in the State...The authority to regulate the return of the evacuees to their home comunities...I hereby order the Adjutant General to activate the Florida National Guard for the duration of this emergency.”

Insider Trading
Also in early September, between September 5th and 10th, 4,744 record put options (a highly risky form of speculation where you bet against a stock that it will go down)were purchased against United Airlines’ stock, compared to only 396 call options (speculation that a stock will go up in value). This was a highly abnormal level of put options that were purchased, and not against airline stocks in general, but against United Airlines.
Many of United Airline’s put options were bought through Deutche Bank/AB Brown, a firm managed until 1998 by the current Executive Director of the CIA, A. B. “Buzzy”
Kronguard (Sources:
London Independent
,
New York Times
,
Wall Street Journal
).
On September 10, 2001 a record 4,516 put options were placed against American Airlines compared to just 748 call options (source:
London Independent
, October 14, 2001, “Mystery of Terror “Insider Dealers”). Continuing the pattern, the put options were purchased only against American Airlines and United Airlines, not against airline stocks in general. The put options purchased on both airlines were 600% over normal. All of this activity took place at a time when airline stocks were doing well compared to other sectors (
Reuters Business
, September 10, 2001, “Airline Stocks May be Poised to Take off”).

It is a known fact that intelligence agencies world-wide monitor stock trading with particular attention being paid to speculators, but, because insiders were running the put option scam, the public wasn’t warned.
In late May of 2002 the Feds arrested some low-level FBI agents who were allegedly feeding off the CIA’s table. Jeffrey Royer and Lynn Wingate were arraigned on charges they were involved in a stock trading racketeering conspiracy. The FBI agents were arrested along with an Arab man named Omar Elgindy. They were charged with passing confidential intelligence information concerning the attacks of September 11 on to Elgindy, who allegedly set the puts for them. (

Empty Offices and Schools
There were stories in the
New York Post
,
Newsday
, and
MSNBC
after September 11
confirming that businesses and schools in a wide swath around the World Trade Center complex in lower Manhattan were, in many cases, half-empty on the day of the attacks. School children had been their teachers that the World Trade Center buildings were going to be knocked over in the next week.
Employees of one of the world’s largest instant messaging corporations, Odigo, did not show up to their offices in the World Trade Center on September 11. Employees told the press that they had received warnings from their head office in Tel Aviv not to go into work that day because there would be a massive attack on the towers. The Tel Aviv offices of Odigo are next door to the Institute for Counter Terrorism (
Ha’aretz
, Sept 26, 2001;
MSNBC
, September 27, 2001).
Ashcroft Forewarned
Certain VIPs and public officials were warned not to travel: Mayor Willie Brown, Solomon Rushdie… and John Ashcroft. CBCNEWS, on July 26, 2001, in an article
68
titled, “Ashcroft Flying High” reported:
“In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a "threat assessment" by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term.”
Agents Sue Bush’s Justice Department
You’ve already read about one of the most overlooked smoking gun government prior knowledge/involvement stories: the story of the leaked top-secret document, W199-eye. Bush signed this document blocking U.S. intelligence and the FBI from stopping AlQaeda two months before the attacks of 9-11. Agents like Robert Wright with the help of Judicial Watch are suing his Justice Department over it.
You must realize that the Democrats are involved in the cover-up as well. The New World Order controls things at the top, and if we don’t hold government responsible they are going to use this terror to get more control over our lives.
Now President Bush is seeking to restrict Capitol Hill probes. He had Dick Cheney call six separate congressional committees and threaten them, telling them not to investigate September 11 (
Washington Post,
January 30, 2002, “Bush Seeks to Restrict Hill Probes of Sept. 11”). Shocking many Americans, President Bush has also activated the secret government, going so far as to call it the “shadow government.” For the first time in history, FEMA command bunkers are brimming with National Security Agency personnel. On top of that, Congress wasn’t even advised of Bush’s shadow government plans. Neither the Senate leader nor the Speaker of the House was even told about the shadow government, despite the fact that Constitutionally they are in the direct line of ascension in the chain of power for the Presidency (
Washington Post,
March 1, 2002,
“Shadow Government Is at Work in Secret”). Why isn’t the President including elected officials in the “continuity of government” program?

Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a complex person. While she has a history in Congress as a tax and spend liberal, she has also given a speech on the floor of the House detailing how, as Head of UN Peacekeeping, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan personally oversaw the mass murder of 800,000 Rwandans.
In April of 2002, McKinney granted an interview with a radio station in Berkeley, California. During the interview she pointed out that the Bush family had a long relationship with the bin Ladens and with Osama bin Laden specifically. She said that Bush stood to gain politically on the domestic front from the attacks and in Central Asia with the Unicol oil pipeline. She called for an investigation of the facts.
What most Americans don’t realize is that the social architects that steer the mass media structure were very concerned as more and more prominent Americans like David Schippers and FBI Agent Robert Wright began to go public with documented evidence of government prior knowledge and involvement. The media chose to focus in on Congresswoman McKinney’s obscure radio interview as a way to politically polarize the debate, while subtly playing the race card.
Now anytime someone heard someone talking about government prior knowledge and involvement, the thought would automatically pop into their mind that the comments were coming from the extreme left-wing of the Democratic party and that it was just partisan mudslinging. The whole thing was a set up from the beginning. The establishment chose to publicly “whip” the Congresswoman in the kangaroo court of big media controlled public opinion.
Senator Zell Miller from her own party issued a statement castigating McKinney and saying that her comments were dangerous and irresponsible. McKinney’s response to the demonization was, “We hold thorough public inquiries into rail disasters, plane crashes
