911 And New Wars:
Was there a military stand down on 9-11? What happened to the anthrax investigation?  What are the historical roots of the 9-11 attack?

www.rise4news.net
What hapened to air defence on September 11th? We have been continually told that F-15 fighters could and should have been scrambled within minutes of the first plane striking the WTC. So why then were no planes scrambled from the nearest air force base? 58 minutes elapsed between the first plane hitting and the Pentagon attack and no F-15 intercepts were sent out. True, what they would have done had they been scrambled is quite another matter, but the fact is that THEY WERE NOT. NORAD were told to Stand down on 9/11/01. They were also told that a drill was being run ON SEPTEMBER 11TH in conjunction with one of the intelligence agencies, whereby a plane would be flown into a building.

Agency planned exercise on Sept. 11
built around a plane crashing into a building

WASHINGTON - In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft would crash into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't terrorism — it was to be a simulated accident.

Officials at the Chantilly, Virginia-based National Reconnaissance Office had scheduled an exercise that morning in which a small corporate jet would crash into one of the four towers at the agency's headquarters building after experiencing a mechanical failure.

The agency is about 4 miles (6 kilometers) from the runways of Washington Dulles International Airport.

Agency chiefs came up with the scenario to test employees' ability to respond to a disaster, said spokesman Art Haubold. No actual plane was to be involved — to simulate the damage from the crash, some stairwells and exits were to be closed off, forcing employees to find other ways to evacuate the building.

"It was just an incredible coincidence that this happened to involve an aircraft crashing into our facility," Haubold said. "As soon as the real world ( news - Y! TV) events began, we canceled the exercise."

Terrorism was to play no role in the exercise, which had been planned for several months, he said.

Adding to the coincidence, American Airlines Flight 77 — the Boeing 767 that was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon ( news - web sites) — took off from Dulles at 8:10 a.m. on Sept. 11, 50 minutes before the exercise was to begin. It struck the Pentagon around 9:40 a.m., killing 64 aboard the plane and 125 on the ground.

The National Reconnaissance Office operates many of the nation's spy satellites. It draws its personnel from the military and the CIA ( news - web sites).

After the Sept. 11 attacks, most of the 3,000 people who work at agency headquarters were sent home, save for some essential personnel, Haubold said.

An announcement for an upcoming homeland security conference in Chicago first noted the exercise.

In a promotion for speaker John Fulton, a CIA officer assigned as chief of NRO's strategic gaming division, the announcement says, "On the morning of September 11th 2001, Mr. Fulton and his team ... were running a pre-planned simulation to explore the emergency response issues that would be created if a plane were to strike a building. Little did they know that the scenario would come true in a dramatic way that day."

The conference is being run by the National Law Enforcement and Security Institute.

Norad exercise prior to 911 included Airplanes as weapons

Remember that the Bush Administration went on record as saying they had absolutely no clue that airplanes would be used as weapons. OK, well have a look at the following pdf file. It concerns Amalgam Virgo, a multiagency, bilateral air security exercise sponsored by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)

























The exercise outlined  in this pdf report happend just prior to 9/11 in the summer of 2001. They didn't know about the attack? So they say.
Left: The front cover of this thing even bears the image of Osama Bin Laden. This is the actual document, drawn up BEFORE 911. And they say they had no idea, absolutely incredible!
Right: Well, we had no idea they had any intention of using aircraft as missiles to target buildings on our soil. What is this then?

Why was the pentagon planning for airplane crash into pentagon prior to 911?

The following passage and pictures are taken from the military's own website and depict a simulation of a plane crashing into the Pentagon in NOVEMBER 2000

Washington, D.C., Nov. 3, 2000 - The fire and smoke from the downed passenger aircraft billows from the Pentagon courtyard. Defense Protective Services Police seal the crash sight. Army medics, nurses and doctors scramble to organize aid. An Arlington Fire Department chief dispatches his equipment to the affected areas.
Don Abbott, of Command Emergency Response Training, walks over to the Pentagon and extinguishes the flames. The Pentagon was a model and the "plane crash" was a simulated one.















































They were not prepared for September 11th? What else needs to be said?

Above:
The 'simulated' air crash at the Pentagon in November 2000. They even made little models of a broken up plane on fire. How cute.

Left: The scale model for the boys to play with and fly a plane into. Not too far off 911 itself
Right: "How 'bout we crash it here Bob? Don't worry 'bout NORAD, Ah told them we're just gonna be runnin' a drill"

The 'big wigs' debate over their special model.
Project Bojinka

There are many more articles about such preparation and fore-knowledge of the use of planes as missiles dating back even further, including a plethora of articles concerning project Bojinka from 1995. Here is a selection:
