TWA 800: The Search for the Truth" examines what happened that July night back in 1996, when TWA Flight 800 took off from Kennedy Airport in New York en route to Paris. Minutes later a series of explosions sent the 747 plunging into the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 230 people aboard. Correspondent Reid Collins, a 30-year veteran of CBS News and CNN, narrates this documentary and interviews eyewitnesses, family members of victims and air-crash investigators who have looked into what happened that night. Was the government correct in its conclusion that a spark in the center-wing fuel tank caused the explosion? Or have government officials covered up important facts about the fate of TWA Flight 800? Could the tragedy have been caused by an Islamic terrorist network? Or did a Naval exercise off the coast of Long Island go terribly wrong? A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says he believes the plane was shot down, and numerous military and civilian experts offer their opinions on what may or may not have happened.

Amy Goodman 17:20 EST, 09/11/01
Who told the fireman, cop, and Amy Goodman of "Democracy Now!" that WTC-7 was going to implode??? Why were Ms. Goodman and many other people pre-assembled to see the building drop about a mile north of the site??? Who provided them with this inexplicable foreknowledge??? Why has Ms. Goodman never explained any of this, despite the fact that she can be seen running & yelling, "Oh God!", as WTC-7 falls in a controlled demolition???
I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry
You don't really need to find out what's going on

Molten Metal from WTC2
There is clear videographic evidence of brightly glowing molten metal flowing from the north face near the northeast corner of WTC 2 just prior to the onset of collapse.(NIST NCSTAR 1-5A, pp 375-376, and Figure 9-75 from 9:53:51 a.m.) The authors of the NIST report offer an indisputably flawed explanation for the observed material, speculating that it was molten aluminum, at or near melting temperature. This is physically impossible. The intensity and spectral distribution of the emitted light provide a reliable indication of the temperature range of the emitter. The fact that the material was glowing sufficiently to be detected by video cameras - to the point of saturating pixels - conclusively demonstrates that the material was not at or near the melting temperature of aluminum.
![]() |
By comparing pixel samples from images of flames with those from images of the molten metal within the same photograph it is possible to determine that the metal was actually hotter than the visible flames escaping from the building. This reasoning follows if both light sources are ideal black body radiators. As it happens, diffuse hydrocarbon flames such as occur in office fires generate their light through thermal radiation of soot which has very high emissivity, closely approximating a black body.[2] Metals, on the other hand, tend to have low emissivity, with the emissivity of aluminum significantly lower than that of iron. The result is that a diffuse hydrocarbon flame will glow more brightly than either iron or aluminum at the same temperature. Iron, in turn, will glow significantly more intensely than will aluminum at the same temperature.(See Jones 2007? for experiments with aluminum)
Since heat always flows from hot to cold, it is impossible for the visible flames to have produced the temperature indicated by the appearance of the metal. Because there was almost certainly a better supply of oxygen outside of the building than within the fire effected areas, it follows that these were likely the hottest hydrocarbon flames in the fire. Furthermore, it takes time to transfer heat. Any material hotter than the objects with which it is in contact will transfer its heat to the cooler objects. Thus, while heat is imparted to the metal by a flame, it will simultaneously be conducted away. Thus preventing the metal from reaching the temperature of the flame.
In addition, there is no explanation provided for how this significant quantity of metal was melted in such a way as to pool on the floor and retained this extraordinary heat, before spilling out of the window frame. There was no crucible to confine it while being heated.
Aluminothermic reactions, on the other hand, produce molten iron with exactly the appearance preserved in the video record. Aluminothermic reactions also produce a fine white aluminum oxide power identical to that which was observed wafting away from the northeast corner of WTC 2 at about the same time that the molten metal appeared, as can be seen in the photograph taken at 9:52:51 a.m.(NIST NCSTAR 1-5A, Figure 9-71)
Such aluminothermic reactions tend to be extremely bright, and even hard to look at with the naked eye. If such a reaction did take place in WTC 2 near the location from which the molten metal poured, we might expect to see such a light source, and indeed, we find evidence for this in a photograph of the northeast corner taken at 9:37:24 a.m. which shows a bright white light shining from the opening produced when part of the airplane exited the building through that corner.(NIST NCSTAR 1-5A, Figure 9-45)
![]() |
Another indicator of extreme temperatures inconsistent with diffuse hydrocarbon flames is found in other photographs of the flames from this same corner. For example the image recorded at 9:42:31 shows not only a conspicuous stream of white ash wafting away from the area, but also what appear to be "unnaturally" intense flames protruding from the corner of the building at the same location as the bright white light appeared 5 minutes earlier.(NIST NCSTAR 1-5A, Figure 9-51)
![]() |
The location of all of these indications of a massive aluminothermic reaction is conspicuous because, as can be seen from the extracted video frames found here :Captured Stills from WTC 2 North East Corner Collapse, this is the location where the global collapse initiated. These images also reveal that as the building collapsed, an unmistakable stream of glowing material issued from the location where the molten metal had previously been observed. This material falls faster than the other emerging debris which indicates that it is heavier. The additional weight is probably due to the fact that much of it is molten iron.
![]() |

The FAQ available on the NIST website attempts to explain the brightly glowing appearance of the molten metal by arguing that it was mixed with organic materials from the office contents of the building. They do not offer any citation to scientific literature in support their assertion, nor do they provide any experimental evidence to support it. Physicist Steven E. Jones conducted experiments attempting to reproduce such a phenomena, and was unsuccessful.
Additionally, there are numerous other phenomena which support this
conclusion such as:
- eutectically eroded structural steel components[3],
- accounts of molten metal in the pile[4],
- photos of brightly glowing steel pulled from the pile weeks later[5],
- cars set on fire by pyroclastic flows issuing from the collapses[6],
- persistent heat on the pile melting worker's boots[7],
- NASA/USGS thermal imaging evincing otherwise inexplicably high temperature[8] and
- Micro-fine airborne metalic particles in the vicinity of the WTC rubble[9].
In summary, the evidence provided by the video record of brightly glowing molten metal flowing from WTC 2 just prior to its collapse argues very strongly for the presence of some type of aluminothermic reaction taking place at this time, and near this location. It is evident that the intense heat thus generated compromised the structure at this location resulting in the structural failure of the effected corner initiating the global collapse sequence.

Experiments to test NIST "orange glow" hypothesis...
by Steven E. Jones, August 31, 2006
What I did is an experiment today, with two colleagues here, to test the NIST proclamation:
"NIST concluded that the source of the molten material [observed flowing out of WTC2 before its collapse] was aluminum alloys from the aircraft, since these are known to melt between 475 degrees Celsius and 640 degrees Celsius (depending on the particular alloy), well below the expected temperatures (about 1,000 degrees Celsius) in the vicinity of the fires. Aluminum is not expected to ignite at normal fire temperatures and there is no visual indication that the material flowing from the tower was burning.
"Pure liquid aluminum would be expected to appear silvery. However, the molten metal was very likely mixed with large amounts of hot, partially burned, solid organic materials (e.g., furniture, carpets, partitions and computers) which can display an orange glow, much like logs burning in a fireplace. The apparent color also would have been affected by slag formation on the surface."
NIST says that flowing aluminum with partially burned organic materials mixed in, "can display an orange glow." But will it really do this? I decided to do an experiment to find out.
We melted aluminum in a steel pan using an oxy-acetylene torch.
Then we added plastic shavings -- which immediately burned with a dark smoke, as the plastic floated on top of the hot molten aluminum. Next, we added wood chips (pine, oak and compressed fiber board chips) to the liquid aluminum. Again, we had fire and smoke, and again, the hydrocarbons floated on top as they burned. We poured out the aluminum and all three of us observed that it appeared silvery, not orange! We took photos and videos, so we will have the recorded evidence as these are processed. (I have now attached two videos showing clearly the silvery appearance of the flowing aluminum.) Of course, we saw a few burning embers, but this did not alter the silvery appearance of the flowing, falling aluminum.
We decided to repeat the experiment, with the same aluminum re-melted. This time when we added fresh wood chips to the hot molten aluminum, we poured the aluminum-wood concoction out while the fire was still burning. And as before, the wood floated on top of the liquid aluminum. While we could see embers of burning wood, we observed the bulk of the flowing aluminum to be silvery as always, as it falls through the air.
This is a key to understanding why the aluminum does not "glow orange" due to partially-burned organics "mixed" in (per NIST theory) - because they do NOT mix in! My colleague noted that it is like oil and water - organics and molten aluminum do not mix. The hydrocarbons float to the top, and there burn - and embers glow, yes, but just in spots. The organics clearly do NOT impart to the hot liquid aluminum an "orange glow" when it falls, when you actually do the experiment! (Refer to attached videos of our experiments.)
In the videos of the molten metal falling from WTC2 just prior to its collapse, it appears consistently orange, not just orange in spots and certainly not silvery. We conclude that the falling metal which poured out of WTC2 is NOT aluminum. Not even aluminum "mixed" with organics as NIST theorizes.
What is it? I have a bold hypothesis which still stands all our experimental tests to date, as described in my paper Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse?.
NIST should do experiments to test their "wild" theories about what happened on 9/11/2001, if they want to learn the truth about it.

Spetember 10, 2001 Harman & Bremer III Had Lunch
Code red: Christopher Cox '76 ('77) and Jane Harman '69 sit on different sides of the aisle, but the urgent threat of terrorism unites them, by Seth Stern '01
The experience of serving on the terror commission, chaired by a then little-known ambassador, L. Paul Bremer III, she says, was an eye-opener. "It was absolutely clear to us that the terrorists don't want a seat at the table, they want to blow up the table, and that a major attack on U.S. soil was coming," she told an audience at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government earlier this year.
Harman's knowledge of foreign policy, her bipartisan outlook and her toughness impressed fellow commission members. "She doesn't back down," said Juliette Kayyem '95, a Kennedy School lecturer and fellow commission member.
The commission's 44-page report released in June 2000 warned that terrorists would "seek to inflict mass casualties" on American soil and called on government to prepare for catastrophic attacks that might kill tens of thousands.
Harman says their findings, like many such reports before and after, did little more than gather dust. In fact, on Sept. 10, 2001, Harman, who had won re-election to her old House seat a year earlier, had lunch with Bremer, lamenting the fact that no one heeded their warnings.
One day later, she was in her Capitol Hill office watching the second airliner hit the World Trade Center on television before Capitol police ordered the building evacuated. In the ensuing chaotic hours, Harman took refuge along with other members of the intelligence committee in Congressman Saxby Chambliss' basement apartment.

Mossad Chief Confirms Netanyahu’s Warning of 7/7 Bombing
Original on Antiwar.com | digg story
Mossad Chief Confirms Netanyahu’s Warning of London Bombing
Monday, July 18th, 2005 in Old Posts by Justin Raimondo| Comment |
The controversy continues over an Associated Press story detailing the remarks of a "senior Israeli official" who claimed that Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in London for an economic conference, was warned by Scotland Yard "minutes" in advance of the terrorist bombings. According to the original story, Netanyahu's prior knowledge was the cause of his not showing up at the conference, which took place at a hotel near the Liverpool Underground station. A subsequent AP report contained the Israeli's government's denial of a prior warning, and claimed that Netanyahu received a warning after the blasts.
Although the first AP story was never retracted, that didn't prevent Israel's American amen corner from claiming that it had been withdrawn, nor did it stop Stratfor.com from coming out with an analysis claiming that Israel knew “days” in advance, and that it wasn't Scotland Yard that informed Netanyahu. Former intelligence analyst Tommy Preston, of Preston Global, concurred.
My own column drawing on these sources drew fire, not only from the usual suspects, but also from dailykos.com, the Democratic party website spawned by the Dean campaign. "Antiwar.com is not a legitimate source," declared one poster.
This from a website that headlined "Did BushCo Tip Off London Bombers?"!
An author who goes by the name “DHinMI” manufactured a quote, purportedly from me, that was nothing more than a crude fabrication: it had quote marks around it, as if I had written it, when in reality I had written no such thing. DhinMI's point: that to even suggest that Netanyahu had advance notice of the London bombings is so obviously an "anti-Semitic conspiracy theory" that no discussion is required, regardless of what the Associated Press reports.
The Kossacks, as they call themselves, are trying to clean their act up so that they can be more closely associated with the Democratic party apparatus. However, why limit themselves to condemning my column: why not condemn AP as an "illegitimate source" for publishing the news of Netanyahu's foreknowledge to begin with? And while they're at it, they need to add a few more media source to the list, including some of the Israeli media. Israel Insider cites Mossad chief Meir Dagan, in an interview with the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag:
"The Mossad office in London received advance notice about the attacks, but only six minutes before the first blast, the paper reports, confirming an earlier AP report. As a result, it was impossible to take any action to prevent the blasts."
Here is the Bild am Sonntag story in German, and a Google translation.
Is this just empty boasting on the part of the Mossad chief, or is there some truth to the initial AP report? Is Meir Dagan spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories?
We report. You decide.
I might add that some of the DailyKos folks are shocked — shocked! — that Antiwar.com opposed the Kosovo war. We, in turn, are shocked at the hypocrisy of those who support a war of aggression against a country, Yugoslavia, that had never attacked us, and that was never sanctioned by the United Nations. They only oppose wars started by Republicans: we at Antiwar.com, on the other hand, oppose all wars of aggression, regardless of the partisan affiliation of those in power at the time.

RE: 911blogger|Guilt by Association is the road to tyranny.
Guilt by Association is the Road to Tyranny!!
Posting a fact someone writes, is not an endorsement of everything they've done from cradle to present. If a fact is correct, its correct.
For example, I have always been a supporter of the Simon Weisenthal Center and their tolerance work. Does that mean I agree with every political position that everyone associated or quoted or referred to by the Center has ever made? . . . of course not. I doubt anyone agrees with everything anyone has said or written.
911Truth.org has NOTHING on its site that is racist or anti-semetic!! NOTHING!! When I was on 911Truth and since then the board has been meticulous in being certain that none of the . . . in my opinion cointel pro government anti-semetic information meant to discredit good people and organizations questioning 9/11 . . . ever touches the pages of their wonderful website.
This is a slippery road, that smacks of Macarthyism, the Cultural Revolution, and all the tyrannical attempts to destroy people's characters by smearing them in any way they could, with any obscure thing they could dig up.
911Truth's house is clean. They are not an investigative agency. Their job is editor of their site. I defy ANYONE to find ANYTHING on 911Truth.org or ae911Truth.org that could be in any rational person's mind . . . racist or anti-semetic.
You won't find it. Both of these fine organizations deserve a VERY public apology from Simon Weisenthal Centers worldwide, and from the person above that tried to smear them in a guilt by association.
What is happening begins to emerge as a pattern of smear attacks and clever propaganda attacks. I saw a documentary "The Protocals of Zion" which was a good documentary about racism . . . UNTIL it began to merge people carrying "Stop the 9/11 Cover Up" signs with an ominous voice over about hate and neo nazi movements. This is preposterous and dangerous, and must stop.
Legal actions should be taken for defemantion of character. Enough is enough. I believe that when 9/11 was perpetrated, cointel pro was set up to have lunatic fringe anti-semetic posting, etc. to get Americans to turn away from ANYONE questioning 9/11.
This was a way to get tolerant New Yorkers, and New York Media, to turn off their logical thought regarding 9/11. This isn't new. The FBI did it to the peace movement in the 1960s. The CIA pulls stuff like this all over the world. The attack dogs have come home to roost.
MANY OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE 9/11 TRUTH MOVEMENT WERE/ARE JEWISH. One leader of 911truth's grandmother died in the death camps in Germany. Stop this nonsense.
Argue the facts of 9/11. It is the only honorable thing to do.
If you are talking about Marc Levin's video:
I found it fairly balanced, and informative. You can find lots of clips of the Urban Moving Systems dancers on the net, but very few of them give credit to Levin for making it available. I find all the reactionary behavior exhibited by both SWC, etc., and the extreme right to contribute to the inability to rationally assess these issues. I strongly suspect such polarization is the objective. When people talk about Zionism, it usually gets the connotation of "paranoid Zionist conspiracy theory" tacked on to it. Nonetheless, there really is a Zionist Movement. It is very well organized and far from being a secret to those who put aside the hysteria long enough to engage their brains. As far as I can tell, all the information found here about it is very well sourced: Political Friendster, Zionist Movement
I even found a document called:
WORLD JEWISH CONGRESS PROCEDURAL PROTOCOL

Pilot who flew 9/11 planes: "I don't believe it's possible"
Former Air Force fighter pilot Russ Wittenberg, who flew over 100 combat missions in Vietnam, sat in the cockpit for Pan Am and United for over 30 years, and previously flew two of the actual airplanes that were allegedly hijacked on 9/11 (United Airlines Flight 175 & 93), does not believe the government's official 9/11 conspiracy theory...
I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved in 9/11... Fight number 175 and Flight 93, the 757 that allegedly went down in Shanksville and Flight 175 is the aircraft that's alleged to have hit the South Tower. I don't believe it's possible for... a so-called terrorist to train on a 172, then jump in a cockpit of a 757-767 class cockpit, and vertical navigate the aircraft, lateral navigate the aircraft, and fly the airplane at speeds exceeding it's design limit speed by well over 100 knots, make high-speed high-banked turns,.. pulling probably 5, 6, 7 G's... I couldn't do it and I'm absolutely positive they couldn't do it. ~ Russ Wittenberg

Mubarak's 9/11 Critique
The following was submitted to and rejected by 911Blogger
In his 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA Webster Griffin Tarpley comments on the remarks of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. The full text of Mobarak's comments are quoted below. In what follows, text in red represents Tarpley's comments, and blue the excerpts from Mobarak's comments which Tarpley included.
One of the observations made by Mubarak seems very insightful and relevant regarding how the Pentagon was hit. Note that there is no better approach to the face of the Pentagon which was hit for a cruise missile or for an airplane programmed to behave like a cruise missile. The plane flew directly over the parking-lot of the Navy Annex which is the large white, multi-winged, rectangular building. To the left is the expressway, and to the right the ground elevation continues to rise.

In a CNN interview on September 15, 2001, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak commented about the 9/11 events. His testimony is of interest because he spent his military career as a fighter pilot in the Egyptian Air Force. Mubarak was also one of the world leaders who had tried to warn the US government about what was coming in the summer of 2001. Mubarak said first of all that he found the US government's official version, which was then taking shape, technically implausible.
President Hosni Mubarak expressed the Egyptian people's sympathy with the American people in their ordeal resulting from Tuesday's terrorist assault on the United States.
In an interview with the CNN, President Mubarak said that the Egyptian people share a sense of grief resulting from Tuesday's attacks on innocent civilians in the United states.
He added that what happened in the U.S. was a shock to us.
In reply to a question by the CNN correspondent on whether he believes that what happened in the U.S. has something to do with the feeling of frustration as a result of the problems facing the Mideast peace process, the president said I can not exactly say this, but probably there have been certain ideas that led to that.
The president said that when he advised for the first time against terrorism in 1991, his advice has not been seriously taken.
As regards Tuesday's assault, the president said that he believes that no one could ever imagine that carriers be used in such attacks.
He said that whoever did that must have been well-trained to fly over this area.
In reply to a query on the perpetrators of the assault, President Mubarak said that he does not want to jump to conclusions.
The president called for not speculating and recalled that Oklahoma city blast was first blamed on Arabs but it was discovered at a later stage that the one who carried out the operation was not an Arab.
The president said let us wait for the results of the investigations.
Full text
Mubarak: The people although they sometimes differ in policies in the Middle East, they were very sad, innocent people wailing were killed, without any reason, a man going to work, people in the streets. We had Egyptians in the towers as well.
Muslim, Christians, Jews, we don't care, there is no difference, they are human beings and so, for us it is shocking, I kept all the time sitting in my chair looking at the news, until the end, I couldn't sleep until three o'clock, I couldn't believe it, so it is shocking and we are very very sorry for that. So, immediately we convened the cabinet, to discuss the situation, they gave a tough statement in Arabic, and I sent condolences to President Bush, and after that to Rumsfeild and to the Chairman of the Congress. It is really embarrassing.
Q: Do you think that attacks relate in any way to the frustrations felt over the problems in the Middle East peace process?
Mubarak:I cannot tell you that exactly, but maybe (it) is one of the elements that led to that, but even with the advice I was giving, I said it since 1991, when I said it for the first time, when Europe and other countries said
Mubarak has some problems with the terrorists, we are far away. I kept repeating this advice. Terrorist action, nobody ever thought of using commercial planes to make such a thing.Precautions we take on the ground, people may hijack planes, do this…do that, but we couldn't think not any intelligence in the world could have the capability in the world to say they are going to use commercial planes with passengers on board to crash the towers to crash the pentagon, those who did that should have flown in the area a long time, for example. The Pentagon is not very high, a pilot could come straight to the Pentagon like this to hit, he should have flown a lot in this area to know the obstacles which could meet him when he is flying very low with a big commercial plane to hit the Pentagon in a special place.
Somebody has studied this very well, someone has flown in this area very much.
Sensing a challenge to the orthodoxy of the official version, the CNN reporter countered:
Q: Are you suggesting it was an inside operation, I may ask, who do you think is behind this?
Mubarak: Frankly speaking I don't want to jump to conclusions, you in the United States when you catch somebody, some rumors about somebody, you say
Oh no, it is not Egyptian, it is Saudi, it is Emirates...all this is inside any house of an Arab, the people say the Arabs are participating…you cannot foretell, it is better to wait.You remember Oklahoma…there came rumors immediately that the Arabs did it, and it was not Arabs, who knows..let us wait and see what is the result of the investigations, because something like this done in the United States is not an easy thing for some pilots who had been training in Florida, so many pilots go and train just to fly and have a license, that means you are capable to do such terroristic action. I am speaking as a former pilot, I know that very well, I flew very heavy planes, I flew fighters, I know that very well, this is not an easy thing, so I think we should not jump to conclusions from now.
One senses that Mubarak is restraining his skepticism for diplomatic reasons; he does not believe the official story, and he has good reasons for not doing so.
Q:How do you think the attacks have affected international relations?
Mubarak: I can tell you the whole world is very upset, people are very angry, because of people being killed with no reason, human beings, earning a living, looking after their families, they lose their husbands, their children, the mothers, the wives it is very dangerous, unbelievable by all dimensions.
Of course the whole world should be careful, and I said several times, we should make an international conference in the UN, there should be a study before that, and it should come to a conclusion, not to permit any country to host those who committed terrorist attacks, but some countries said no, because (some) say Israel and Palestinians, self determination...I don't want to go into this, but it is a must now, I heard Colonel Powell say he wants to make coalition against terrorism.
We don't want to divide the world into different factions, we would like to unite, the best thing is to make an international conference in the UN, and this should be very well prepared beforehand, and to come to conclusions and articles which every country in the world should respect and implement, this is the only way, it is a very strong signal what happened in the United States. You never know, many things could happen after that, so you have to be very cautious, we should not delay, we shouldn't say "Oh! All right, we cannot do more than that." You never know, you never know.q
Q: You have dealt with terrorism, what advice can you give to the USA at this point on how to deal with what happened?
Mubarak: We suffered a lot from terrorism, that is why we are telling the whole world publically
Be careful, don't host, give asylum to these people?.Some countries used to take elements from Egypt and Saudi Arabia and give them asylum, to be used against these countries afterwards, it is a big mistake.They are going to suffer whether they like it or not, so we have very good experience with these people, we have to be very strict with these groups, we have to take very tough action with them when we know who did it.
Q: The US has promised a strong military response to these attacks, what do you think about that?
Mubarak: Look, I don't want to jump to conclusions, let us wait, what about if they are Americans, are you going to attack yourselves? Let us wait, be calm, take it easy, make good investigation, and whenever you come to a conclusion, I think tough measures will be taken.
Q: Has Egypt been asked to participate in investigations?
Mubarak: No, we are cooperating with all the intelligence organizations in your coutnry, any information helping in it, and continuous contact between countries, we have much more information than any other friend of yours in this part of the world and you can understand me.
Q: Do you have much more information on these attacks?
Mubarak:
No, on the terrorist groups.
Q: Do you think the world is a safe place?
Mubarak: Not every place, but we have to make it safe, we have to cooperate, and deal with any kind of terrorism toughly and strictly, this is the only way to make the whole world safe, now where it is safe, two days after this nightmare took place, someone said, he is not an Egyptian, he said today is a good day for the Muslims. May goodness. Thousands of people were killed, and he is given asylum in one country... I dont want to mention and he is saying this, and no body tells him anything.
Q: When I saw it on the television, I couldn't believe it.
Such an organization is not an easy thing, it is not something that one could do it, it is a very complicated operation, so we have to make good investigation, not to accuse anybody before coming to the final result, because to be hurried and say it is this, it is that, you are going to make conflicts among the sects in your country, among the Muslims and Christians and Jews, the hatred will be deepened, and at the end, may be none of these may be elements.
Thank you.

Iron Mountain Holds UAL 93 Secrets
When we asked at the Shanksville Flight 93 Memorial about the final disposition of the wreckage from UAL 93 we were told that it had been returned to the airline company. This assertion struck us as completely inconsistent with what would be expected for the handling of evidence in an as yet unsolved mass murder. The account provided in the above video seem more consistent with the nature of the situation, but still raises troubling questions regarding many aspects of the case. What does the debris indicate regarding the possibility of a shoot down? What does it tell us about the identity of the plane from which it came? Can serial numbers from parts be traced to maintenance logs.

The Two Hats of ICT's Don Radlauer
The two articles reproduced below discuss different aspects of the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks. The first article is important because the author, Don Radlauer, is an employee of the Israeli-based Institute for Counter Terrorism(ICT), and he presents himself as an experienced pilot authoritatively describing the alleged nature and alleged feasibility of the official conspiracy theory(OCT) version of the attacks. In the second article Christopher Bollyn cites a report by "Don Radlauer, an expert in stock options and derivatives" on 9/11-related insider trading.
The Hijackings: A Pilot's View

http://ntwebweaver.com/flights.htm
In order to try to unravel the events leading up to Tuesday's catastrophic terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington DC, we give here a summary of the flight paths of the four doomed flights. The analysis is by a pilot who has accumulated many hours of flight over the Eastern United States.
Flight Summaries
United Airlines Flight 175
UAL Flight 175 took off from Boston’s Logan Airport at 7:58. Its planned route was south-west to northwestern New Jersey, then a gentle right turn to follow a more westerly course towards Los Angeles International Airport. The plane followed this route until the point where it was to bear right; instead, it turned left about 45 degrees to travel southwards towards central New Jersey, then made a sharp left over Middlesex County to approach New York Harbor from the south. This plane hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center at about 9:05 AM.
Note that Flight 175's legitimate pilots must have been in control until about the time the plane crossed the northern New Jersey border; up to this time the plane had followed its planned route, including turns that the hijackers would not have had the navigational skills to make (and which were not essential in order to fulfill their mission). Also, note that the hijack did not occur until a point at which a passenger on the left side of the plane would have had a clear view of the Twin Towers. From this point on, it was easy to navigate the airplane by this obvious landmark – and target.
The hijackers of this flight clearly knew that its route would take it within about 50 miles of Manhattan – close enough to use the Twin Towers as a visual landmark. Thus, they could sit back and wait until they had a clear view of their target. One obvious conclusion is that the hijackers had taken the flight before and knew the visual characteristics of the flight path.
American Airlines Flight 11
American Flight 11 took off from Logan just after UAL 175, at 7:59. Its planned route was almost straight west through Massachusetts and New York, proceeding on to Los Angeles International. About 60-70 miles west of Boston, the plane began to deviate to the north of its planned route. About 50 miles into New York State, the plane turned sharply left and followed the Hudson River valley down to New York City, impacting the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:45 AM.
The planned route of this flight would bypass Lower Manhattan at a distance of at least 100 miles; in even slightly hazy conditions the hijackers knew that they couldn't count on a view of their target. Instead, they planned in advance to use the Hudson River as their landmark and fly right down its valley to their target. As this valley is easy to find and follow, the hijackers didn't need to keep the legitimate pilots around beyond the climbout period – and thus they took control of the plane at an earlier stage than the hijackers of UAL 175 did.
Again, the hijackers would have needed to have taken this flight before, since familiarity with the route normally taken would be essential in order to know when to take control of the plane and how to find their target. The Hudson River Valley is an obvious landmark, requiring no particular navigational skills to find and follow towards New York City. This is probably one reason why the hijackers apparently took control of Flight 11 much earlier than was the case with UAL 175 – there was no significant risk of getting lost without a 'real' pilot. I would hazard a guess that the take-over occurred fairly soon after takeoff, shortly before the point were the plane began to drift northward from its planned route. The minor deviation would not have been of any concern to the hijackers; they knew that they had only to continue in a generally westerly direction and they would pass over the Hudson River valley.
United Airlines Flight 93
UAL 93 left Newark International Airport at 8:01, enroute to San Francisco. Its planned route was basically west across northern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and northern Ohio, and on to the West Coast. Just before reaching Cleveland, Ohio, the plane made a 180-degree turn to the left and proceeded east-southeast to fly just south of Pittsburgh and past it towards Pennsylvania's southern border with Maryland. The plane had evidently already been flying erratically and at a low altitude for some time before it crashed, nose first, in Stony Creek Township eighty miles from Pittsburgh, at 10:10 AM.
The route this flight took after it turned away from Cleveland strongly suggests that its hijackers were intending to attack a target in or near Washington, D.C. There is convincing evidence that there was a struggle between the hijackers and a small group of passengers (and possibly crew). This may account for some of the erratic flying that was reported, as well as the plane's eventual crash in an area well clear of anything that might have been the hijackers' intended target. Had this plane been flown successfully to Washington, D.C., it would have arrived there at around 10:30.
Assuming this hijacking was planned as meticulously as the ones directed at New York targets, the hijackers were presumably using Cleveland and/or the shore of Lake Erie as their indicator that it was time to make their move.
American Airlines Flight 77
American Flight 77 left Dulles International Airport at 8:10. Its planned route would take it over northern Virginia and West Virginia, towards Los Angeles International. Just after turning south and crossing the Ohio-Kentucky border, the plane's transponder (which makes it more visible and identifiable on radar, as well as reporting its altitude to controllers) was turned off; so its exact flight path is not known. At 9:40 AM, the plane crashed into the ground next to the west side of the Pentagon.
A pilot on the ground was quoted as saying that the plane was in a power-dive when it hit the ground. In other words, the hijacker-pilot had spotted his target and was accelerating toward it. In the case of a plane of this size, it is a great deal easier to navigate a plane straight and level into a tall building, as happened at the World Trade Center, than it is to crash precisely into a target close to the ground. The hijacker guiding AL 77 was more than likely intending to bring the plane down onto the Pentagon itself, which would have resulted in far greater devastation. There has been some speculation in the media that the Pentagon was not the intended target of this plane. From the air, the Pentagon is a very visible landmark, which the hijackers could be certain of finding and targeting quite easily. Given the ease of targeting the Pentagon and its role as the center of the United States military, I don’t think there is any reason to assume that it was not the target. If the plane was indeed accelerating as it hit, this would tend to support the contention that the Pentagon was the intended target.
General Conclusions
All the hijacked flights took off within a twelve-minute span, and all were fully fueled for a transcontinental flight. Clearly the terrorists carefully selected a set of flights that met these two requirements. It is also clear that, at least in the case of the two flights targeted at New York, the hijackers must have taken the same flights at least once before, in order to familiarize themselves with the routes that would be taken and the landmarks they would use to decide when to attack, and to navigate towards their target.
In the case of UAL 175, at least one of the hijackers was probably sitting on the left side of the plane to act as a "spotter"; when s/he got a clear view of the Twin Towers, it was time to take over the airplane.
Thus a study of previous flight manifests would be advisable; it is likely that at least some of the hijackers' names - assuming that they had registered under their own names – appear as passengers on the same flights on previous dates. It is also likely that some of the hijackers will be found to have been among the passengers sitting on the left-hand, southward facing, side of United Flight 175.
Revealing 9-11 Stock Trades Could Expose The Terrorist Masterminds
by Christopher Bollyn
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/BOL412B.html
A transparent and thorough investigation of suspicious trades before Sept. 11 could expose the masterminds behind the attacks by revealing who knew and profited from advance knowledge—if only the government wanted to.
Manipulators with inside information made huge profits on sophisticated trades as the stocks of the airline and insurance companies plummeted in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 disaster. The inside information was so precise that experts have concluded that it could have only come from those who masterminded the terror attacks.
This money trail is the closest investigators have come to “a smoking gun” and could lead directly to those who planned the attacks. But with the notable exception of Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga.), Congress has yet to demand a thorough and open investigation.
In the days following the terror attacks, suspicious and unusual stock trading activity indicated that people used inside information to make huge profits. The money made from the trades done with apparent inside information has been estimated at up to $15 billion worldwide.
The Institute for Counter Terrorism (ICT), located in Herzliya, Israel, published an article, “Black Tuesday: World’s Largest Insider Trading Scam?” on Sept. 19, 2001.
Author Don Radlauer, an expert in stock options and derivatives, provided details of the types and volumes of the suspicious trades and said: “Obviously, anyone who had detailed knowledge of the attacks before they happened was, at the very least, an accessory to their planning; and the overwhelming probability is that the trades could have been made only by the same people who masterminded the attacks themselves.”
Radlauer pointed to the timing, specificity, size and unusual nature as indicative that the trades had been done with inside information.
Tracing the transactions to their real source, Radlauer said, would be difficult because “the trading is sure to have been done under false names, behind shell corporations, and in general to have been thoroughly obfuscated.”
Radlauer concluded: “This doesn’t mean that unraveling the threads of these transactions will be impossible, but it probably won’t be quick or easy.”
The American exchanges that handle options and derivatives trades, primarily the Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) and the NYSE, know on a daily basis what levels of put options are purchased.
“Put options” are highly leveraged bets that a given stock’s share price will fall.
Conspicuous spikes
Among the most conspicuous spikes in trading activity were the huge increases in “put options” placed on the two airlines involved in the hijackings of Sept. 11, United Airlines (UAL) and American Airlines.
There was a 9,000 percent jump in United Air Lines (UAL) put options between Sept. 6 and Sept. 10, with a huge spike 285 times higher than average on the Thursday before the attack.
American Airlines saw a 6,000 percent jump in put options above normal the day before the attacks. However, there was no similar trading activity on any other airlines, according to market reports.
The brokerage houses that had offices in the WTC, Morgan Stanley and Merrill-Lynch, saw 27-fold and 12-fold increases in the purchases of put options on their respective shares between Sept. 7 and Sept. 10.
“The afternoon before the attack, alarm bells were sounding over unusual trading in the U.S. stock options market,” the CBS program 60 Minutes reported on Sept. 19. As investigator Michael C. Ruppert of From the Wilderness, an Internet news site, says: “These trades were certainly noticed after the attacks.”
There was also an unusually high volume of five-year U.S. Treasury note purchases prior to the attacks, including one $5 billion trade, The Wall Street Journal reported Oct. 2. “Five-year Treasury notes are among the best investments in the event of a world crisis, especially one that hits the U.S.,” the report said.
“This could very well be insider trading at the worst, most horrific, most evil use you’ve ever seen in your entire life . . . this would be one of the most extraordinary coincidences in the history of mankind if it was a coincidence,” Dylan Ratigan of Bloomberg Business News said Sept. 20.
No U.S. or foreign agency has announced arrests or developments in the investigation of these trades, the most telling evidence of foreknowledge, Ruppert wrote April 22. The former chief of enforcement at the Securities and Exchange Commission, William Mc Lucas, said regulators would “certainly be able to track down every trade, where the trade cleared, where the trade was directed from.”
Experts from the Convar Company in Pirmasens, Germany, are using their “blue laser scanning” technology to retrieve data from the damaged computers of banks, telecommunication companies, and other tenants from the WTC. This technology can even retrieve the original data from hard discs that have been deleted and written over five times.
Peter Henschel, director of Convar, said: “not only the volume, but the size of the transactions was far higher than usual for a day like that.”
Henschel told AFP that “up to the last moment,” between the time that the first tower was hit until the second tower collapsed, there was an “unusual” increase in trading volume of “between 5 and 10 times the normal volume.”
One data recovery expert, Richard Wagner, has estimated that more than $100 million in illegal transactions appeared to have rushed through the WTC computers before and during the disaster.

Miss America, Dick Cheney and the New Pearl Harbor
Taken in isolation this may not seem to amount to much, but given the bigger picture is seems likely to have been no mere coincidence that the mention of Dick Cheney and Pearl Harbor was made at 08:50:30 shortly before the program cut to NYC where WTC 1 had been hit at 08:46:30.
See: PNAC's Rebuilding America's Defenses "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."

Lewis Paul Bremer III on Washington DC NBC4 TV 09/11/01
Google removed this three times, and blocked it once
For reasons yet to be explained, Google has repeatedly removed this video from their server. In the first week that it was up, it had 1,474 views before it was removed. It caught fire recently and received about 5000 hits in a matter of a few days before it was taken down again. The evident pattern is that it is not removed as long as it is getting little attention.
This is a mind-boggling interview with Lewis Paul Bremer III (who ended up as the pro-council of Iraq.)
On 09/11/01 Bremer was the Chairman and CEO of Marsh Political Risk Practice which had offices in the WTC as did its parent company Marsh USA. They had a total of 1,700 employees assigned to the WTC. Bremer, himself, had an office in the South Tower. Nonetheless, this "counter-terrorism expert" makes no mention of any of this only three hours after the first plane flew directly into seven of the eight floors of WTC 1 occupied by Marsh USA. He is here on television prognosticating about who will turn out to be the culprits, with calm detachment. What is wrong with this picture?
The opinions of Emad Salem and Andreas Strassmeir would be of interest in this matter.

Lewis Paul Bremer: Nat'l Commission on Terrorism
Gentzler: We want to turn now to a guest who is
Bremer:
joining us in the studio. It's Paul Bremer. I want to make sure
I'm getting your name right because I'm just meeting you. You're
a terrorism expert?Counter-terrorism, I
Gentzler:
hope.And can talk to us a little bit about
who could...I mean there are a limited number of groups who could
be responsible for something of this magnitude. Right?
Bremer: Yes, this is a very well planned, very well
coordinated attack, which suggests it's very well organized
centrally. And there are only three or four candidates in the
world really who could have conducted this attack.
Vance:Bin Laden comes to mind right away, Mr. Bremer.
Bremer: Indeed, he certainly does. Bin Laden was
involved in the first attack on the World Trade Center, which had
as its intentions doing exactly what happened here, which was to
collapse both towers. He certainly has to be a prime suspect.
But there are others in the Middle East. There are at least two
states, Iran and Iraq which should least remain on the list
of.
Gentzler:What kind of coordination? How could something
like this be put together.
Bremer:First of all, you've got to find some people
who are willing to die. And then, of course, they have to find
ways around what we thought was pretty good security at our
airports. We haven't had a hijacking in a long time. Let alone
four. So there had to be good coordination. There has to have
been coordination in the whole planning of the attack. The
people, if they were not Americans, they needed visas to get into
the United States. They needed false identities to by Airline
tickets. They needed cars to get to the Airport. There's a whole
lot of stuff that had to happen here.
Gentzler:With as many resources as our government, and
our allies' governments around the world devote to studying
terrorism, and knowing what's going on, and what they're planning,
you have to wonder how something of this magnitude, how this could
take place without any warning or any hint that it was coming.
Bremer:Well, first of all, the intelligence against
terrorists is the hardest intelligence to gather. Basically, you
have to have a spy in the terrorist group who's willing to talk to
you, for whatever reason. It's the hardest intelligence there is
to... The National Commission on Terrorism which I chaired last
year, made as our key recommendation much more effort to try to get
terrorist spies, informing on their colleagues to us.
Every time there is a major terrorist attack, it is
automatically, of course, an intelligence failure. That's by
definition. But I'm sympathetic to the problem about how you get
good intelligence on these people. It's not easy. There is an
intelligence failure here. There is a massive security failure,
where we have four airplanes being hijacked on the same morning.
Two from Dulles Airport it appears. So there's a lot of lessons
that have to be learned. First we have to find out who did
it.
Vance:Mr. Bremer, I want to speak to that for a second.
When the Oklahoma City incident occurred, the immediate response
from a lot of people was that it came from some Arab terrorist
group. Is there any reasons why we aught to be cautious about that
kind of an assumption on this particular incident, on these
incidents?
Bremer:Well, of course. What you have to work with at
this stage, since we don't have any hard intelligence, apparently,
we don't have any forensic evidence, is motivations and
capabilities. And so when I list four potential groups I'm working
mostly from motivations and proven capabilities in the past.
[That] doesn't mean you can exclude that some other group
could have come out of nowhere and done this. But, at least as a
working hypothesis in the first chaotic hours here after this
attack, you have to start somewhere. And you have to start with
what you know about the past and which groups have motives.
Vance:One of the things that the President said today
from Florida, early on, was that the United States will respond to
this, and he left it at that. Is it to be assumed that the first
thing we have to figure out is to identify precisely who it is
we're going to respond against?
Bremer:Of course. Basically we has sort of a four
stage operation. First we've got to hope and help we can save as
many people ... as possible. Stabilize the situation at the
Pentagon and in New York. Secondly we need to get to work in
trying to identify the perpetrators. And then, thirdly, we come to
the question about retaliation. And fourthly, which goes along,
all along, at the same time is what are the lessons we learned?
What did we learn about the intelligence failure? What did we
learn about the security failure? And who do we move forward in
the future on these areas.
Vance:I don't recall anything like this. Pearl Harbor
happened a month before I was born, and I hear my parents talk
about it all the time as a seminal event in their lives all the
time. I am not aware of anything like this in the United States
before. Americans are now, I think it's fair to say, really
scared. Should we be?
Gentzler:This is a day that will change our lives,
isn't it?
Bremer:It is a day that will change our lives. It's
a day that the war that the terrorists declared on the United
States, and after all they did declare a way on us, has been
brought home to the United States in a much more dramatic way than
we've seen before. So it will change our lives.
I do think it's important, and I'm sure the President and
his colleagues when they start talking about this, it's important
to hit some ballance. The American way of life is not threatened
by these people, unless we threaten it ourselves. If we start
throwing away the democratic freedoms and the civil liberties that
are at the heart of our society, that's what their after. And
that's what we can't allow to have happen. And we've got to go
about our business. People have got to move around.
I was diverted on a plane this morning. I was trying to get
to New York, and wound up in Baltimore. I in a way was sort of at
least relieved to see business as usual going on between people.
We have to go on with our lives. It's not to say we don't take it
seriously. We take it very seriously. But it's not something
where we can all jump in a foxhole somewhere and hope the world
doesn't come and bother us. We have to find a ballanced response.
One that makes it absolutely clear, as the President said this
morning, that we're not going to tolerate this act of war. This
will have consequences for the people who did it. Very, I hope
very severe consequences. The most sever military response we can
come up with. But we also have to remember that we've got a way
of life to protect, and that this is not an existential threat to
the United States.
Gentzler:Paul Bremer, thank you.
Vance: We appreciate it, Mr. Bremer, thank you very
much.
Gentzler:We should make it clear that there has been
Bremer:
no claim of responsibility ... I
Gentzler:
understand....at this point to, uh, for
any of these incidents.

Sibel Edmonds: Drugs, Arms, NSC & Congress
Kill The Messenger - Al-Qaeda and the FBI - The Sibel Edmonds Story
This documentary reveals how a foreign spy ring with links to "Al-Qaeda" has been discovered working within the FBI. Sibel Edmonds began work at the FBI translating wire taps in an investigation into This documentary reveals how a foreign spy ring with links to "Al-Qaeda" has been discovered working within the FBI. Sibel Edmonds began work at the FBI translating wire taps in an investigation into a foreign spy ring operating in the US. She became suspicious of her colleagues after discovering some mistranslations and was then invited to join the spy ring which had evidently infiltrated the FBI itself. She went straight to her bosses and rather than being hailed as a hero she was promptly sacked. After going public on 60 Minutes she has been officially gagged.
Sibel Edmonds is something the criminals in Washington don't understand. They believe people such as Sibel don't exist. They begin with the premise that everyone is corrupt or corruptible, its just a matter of finding their price or finding their vice. They do not know what it means to be truth incarnate.

Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime
This is a very informative video produced by a man in a position to know what was happening in Congress in the months and years following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We try very hard to choses only substantive and important material in order that we do not waste the valuable time of our audience. We very much hope that you take the time to watch the entire video.
It stops short of MIHOP, but it provides a great deal of information which puts the lie to the OCT of 9/11.
"Curt Weldon has outlived his usefulness to the country," says House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. "He's seeing ghosts and conspiracies."

Waco - A New Revelation (1999)
Part 1
Part 2
Waco: A New Revelation is the film that triggered a new Congressional investigation of the Waco tragedy, and caused the Justice Department and the FBI to reverse their long-held positions on Waco. It has generated a firestorm of events unprecedented in the history of documentary filmmaking.
After six years of painstaking investigation, the complete story of the tragedy in Texas is finally coming to light. This compelling feature-length documentary presents new revelations about the events that led up to the deaths of 79 men, women and children at Mount Carmel on April 19, 1993.
In the spring of 1998, under the Freedom of Information Act, investigators from MGA Studio's film division became the first private citizens to gain access to the Waco investigation evidence lockers. What they found was shocking. Upon examination, the evidence gathered under the supervision of federal officials appeared to contradict the FBI's congressional testimony, raising serious and disturbing questions about events surrounding the siege at Mt. Carmel and the deaths of the Davidians.
Gene CullenSince 1993, former members of the FBI, former Special Forces and CIA operatives have come forward with new evidence to suggest that the FBI's claim is inaccurate.
Waco: The Big Lie
Thompson argues convincingly that the ATF's initial assault on Mt. Carmel was legally grounded on nothing more than a $200 weapons surchage that Koresh had failed to pay. With proof of that in their back pocket, the ATF called out U.S. Army gunships, and attacked the compound with dozens of stoked, reckless agents employing massive gunpower. The footage on this video demonstrates that the Branch Davidians did not meet the ATF with "a hail of gunfire." You'll see unthreatened ATF agents riddling the front of the compound with gunfire, fully aware that inside were dozens of women and children. The ATF had plenty of time to shoot not only the house; they fired on themselves, other agents, children playing outside, long before a Branch Davidian fired a single shot in self defense. The video also details the FBI's effective bamboozlement of a compliant press, but the most controversial part of the tape comes at the end, when Thompson provides footage allegedly showing government tanks with flamethrowers that she contends set the fire that killed all 89 people inside. You may (and should) question some of what this video contends, but it does contain actual footage of a government attacking its own citizens. Not that that hasn't happened before. But now it's on videotape.
The above characterization was provided by the person who originally posted the video. The Vehmgericht believes that the depiction of Koresh in the video my gloss over some of his eccentricities. Nonetheless, it is beyond dispute that the lesser of two evils was on the inside of the Mt. Carmel compound during the siege and subsequent massacre. The video provides much additional insight to the already damning indictment rendered in Waco: The Rules of Engagement, which the audience is advised to take into consideration along with the video above.
