The material witness list or “how much fascism money can buy?”
article source: guerrillanews.com forum
In these days at least 20-40000 internet members and visitors of houndreds of investigative 911-websites still wonder, why the mainstream media didn’t pick up their endless informations about what they so called LIHOP (=”they” let the attack happen on purpose).
Freedom of Speech and the first amendment seems to be not the first premise in this country anymore, it’s just about war against terrorism against a shadow enemy, sometimes even based on not reliable sources. Countries like Cuba or Brazil even worried, if this all doesn’t look like the early days of “Nazi-Deutschland”.
One week ago, peaceful visitors at a speech of President Bush in Ohio, who turned their back to Bush, had been arrested and removed from a stadium.
The mainstream media ignored these threats against civil rights.
But right now it looks also more than odd, that journalists of the mainstream media are not only unable to connect some investigative and political dots, but even ignore to tie some mainstream articles, who already implied, that the attack from September 11th was not a bureaucratic mess, but happened on purpose and everything what happened in the aftermath increased not the national security, but happened because of a control agenda on their own innocent residents.
This all seemed to be the next smoking gun, but nothing happened after President Bush confirmed prior knowledge.
And many democrats like Tom Daschle, Diane Feinstein and Cynthia McKinney, who had been already in contact since months with many different investigative journalists (who had no chance to leak their stuff into CBS + Co.), still seem to ignore, what they received since months.
The US Congress remains silent, only a few democrats like Pete Stark disturbingly complained, that this all “smacks like fascism”.
Almost every mainstream paper in the United States sabotaged and ignore every contact from outside, who tries to leak the most obvious questions and analysis about strange new budgets.
Even the Washington Post (who just celebrated 30 years Watergate) complained,
every additional “criticism” suggest treason.
Why?
Are they all try to avoid another national collective trauma, if the truth will be revealed
-in the strongest nation of the world?
What makes independent news portals on the internet, which mostly deal with sources of credible papers, companies or charts, so different from the 911-hearings, who also have to deal with “criticism”?
This means, that even this article, which you read right now, also only combines, what a huge majority of proud american internet surfer already know since months:
911 wasn’t a problem of bureaucracy, it happened in the interest of some american citizens and companies, the real traitors, which have to be found out with the most balancing strategy.
Many 911 news portals also knew and could prove, long time before the mainstream media found out, that the White House had prior knowledge about 911 and leaked this to McKinney and Co.
Currently the list of possible suspects, who let the attack happen on purpose, is getting longer and longer and it contains also 40-50 early warnings including various warnings of different secret services, even during the weeks of both FBI-Kenneth Williams and Coleen Rowley’s memos.
Most of the warnings by oversea secret services circulated already around in reports after Sep11th and now have been reconfirmed over and over again: Egypt, Jordania, England, Germany, Italy, France, Russia and even Israel is twice on this list.
But the 911 hearings ignored these warning reports so far.
Many new questions have to be asked, but in the meantime Washington decided to postpone the 911-hearings because of the Massaoui-trial.
How’s that?
The reasons for those, who believe in a LIHOP are more than obvious:
1) To start a war against the Taliban to reinstall the Central Asia Gas pipeline project in Afghanistan-Pakistan- Turkmenistan
http://www.dawn.com/2002/05/08/top9.htm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_1984000/1984459.stm

http://www.myafghan.com/news2.asp?id=-233147238&search=5/30/2002
2) Worldwide new weapon deals, e.g. of Carlyle and BAe
3) Reorganisation of a new world economy system (Russia, China etc..).
Paul Zoellick organised these deals for more than one year before Sep11th with help of his friends Henry Kissinger and Christina Rocca (CIA).
4) Extend Control System Business (Face Recognition, National ID etc..)
5) Increase BioDefense + Military Budget
6) Political Strategies
(A new enemy=”terrorists” replaces the “communists”,
which didn’t really exist anymore, also a problem for the weapon industry)
This is a current list of people or institutions, who have to be asked,
if 911 was really “only” a bureaucratic mess or if more was behind.
Which interest groups maybe forced them, to let the attack happen and hid it behind a “bureaucracy problem”?
Jerry Hauer, NIH, Batelle, BIOPORT, Porton and the FBI
============================================
Jerry Hauer, one of Washington’s most important Bio-Terrorism Consultants has an interesting resume, which included also some odd meetings during the last weeks before September 11th.
In 1983, Hauer joined IBM where he was responsible for the company’s Hazardous Materials Response and Crisis Management and Fire Safety programs. Hauer produced a series of hazardous materials training videos that earned him the International Film and TC Critics of New York Bronze award in 1986.
Hauer earned a master’s degree with a focus on emergency medical services at Johns Hopkins School.
Later he was member of the John Hopkins Working Group on Civilian Bio Defense
http://iml.dartmouth.edu/ists/hauer.html
In 1999 he worked at the SAIC’s Center for Counterterrorism Technology and Analysis.
http://www.saic.com/news/nov99/news11-30a-99.html
“His expertise in crisis management, fire safety and emergency medical response adds additional capabilities to our counterterrorism practice,” said David Kay, director of SAIC’s CCTA.”
But Hauer later left the SAIC, “which is a *huge* federal contractor, and has contracts with the CIA, the FBI and the DOE, as well as many other agencies.”
http://www.politicsny.com/reports/february02/2-14-02-sheirer.shtml0
In the same year he started then as Head of the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) for New York City during the 1999 WNV (West Nile Virus) “emergency”.
At this time also in contact with OraVax Corporation (now Acambis, partnered with Baxter and Aventis- they created in 1999 by parent companies Hoechst and Rhone-Poulenc.)—makers of the only WNV vaccine, he held a secret meeting with President Clinton and Janet Reno in the Truman Room at the White House a year before the alleged WNV outbreak in New York.
Arrangements were then made to rescue the insolvent OraVax Corporation with a $343 million contract from the CDC for a smallpox vaccine, a $1.8 million contract from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for a vaccine against dengue fever, and additional sums to stockpile the WNV vaccine for future “emergencies.”
http://www.mapcruzin.com/rev_death_in_air.htm
Oravax was later one of the few companies, who also received a huge BioDefense Budget after the anthrax attacks, together with Batelle, DynCorp and a few more.
Hauer was in contact with Batelle, too. His OEM-team helped
facilitate tests for Batelle, due to healthcare author Dr.Len Horowitz (http://www.tetrahedron.org).
Horowitz accused Hauer in at least 3 personal letters to FBI director Robert Mueller during October 2001 to be one of the “suspects” of the Department of Defense´s “Joint Vaccine Acquisition”, which was accelerated for millions of dollars in biowarfare profiteering due to the anthrax mailings.
The other one had been Robert Myers, Bioport´s Chief Operating Officer and anthrax expert William C. Patrick III of Batelle, a close friend of Kanatjan Alibekov alias Ken Alibek who worked in the russian 60s Anthrax-project BIOPreparat and later on the payroll on CIA and Pentagon.
As OEM-chief, Hauer also helped out with the construction of the OEM center known as “the bunker” on an upper floor of 7 World Trade Center, which collapsed on September 11th.
http://www.politicsny.com/reports/february02/2-14-02-sheirer.shtml
The CIA later confirmed that they had an office inside this building.
Officially B7 started to burn because of a gas tank, which was illegally installed inside the building and obviously hit by debris from the Twin Towers attack.
Hauer worked also for the security firm Kroll O’Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt, who are worldwide famous for Security Hardware, -Systems and -Services.
They are also the official bodyguard contractor for all american presidents since Harry Truman and protect more than 60 international heads of state, and a long list of diplomats around the world.
Kroll had various contracts with the US Army, e.G. during the Somalia War, for Bosnia or Togo for their vehicles or armor engineered equipment.
On August 23rd, 2001 Kroll became part of Armor Holdings, which is prime contractor to the U.S. Military for the supply of armoring and blast protection for High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicles, commonly known as HMMWVs.
http://www.ogara-hess.com/aboutus.htm
http://www.armorholdings.com/corpprof/main_frame.htm
But one will ask, what has all this to do with 911, the anthrax attacks or the war on terrorism?
Jerry Hauer was also in very good contact with John O’Neill, the most intense FBI-tracker of terrorist networks and their account system.
Hauer organised a security job for him in the Twin Towers, where O’Neill died on September 11th.
http://www.nymag.com/page.cfm?page_id=5513&position=1
http://www.lauriegarrett.com/wtc_day12.html
Obviously something was known in the Towers. If either Hauer,
O’Neill or someone else leaked already something about a possible attack on the Towers,
has to be found out.
At least three different sources confirmed, that a) “three weeks before the attack of September 11 security at the World Trade Center was abruptly heightened and that b) six weeks before the attack a US army base in New Jersey was placed on top security alert….”
http://www.counterpunch.org/bombsense.html
Ben Fountain, a financial analyst with Fireman’s Fund, also already confirmed 9 months ago on September 11th, that “over the past few weeks we’d been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual”.
http://people.aol.com/people/special/0,11859,174592-5,00.html
Did John O’Neill hear about these evacuations or was he even hired to increase them?
All questions, which have to be addressed in public.
O’Neill however can’t help us anymore, he died in the Towers and almost no mainstream paper surprisingly wrote about his role as a hero, so we have to start asking his friend Jerry Hauer, what happened.
Hauer identified his dead body a few days after the attack, while O’Neills family in New Jersey wasn’t allowed to do this. Same to his girlfriend Valerie James, who spent her last night with him, after he came back from a nightpub session with Jerry Hauer and Professor Robert Tucker, member of the National Security Archive, Princeton University.
http://www.lauriegarrett.com/wtc_day12.html
http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?020114fa_FACT1
Because of Hauers good contacts in the BioTerror-scene another question has to be asked:
Did Hauer not only know about a possible attack on america, but had also prior knowledge about the anthrax attack from inside the States?
Maybe.
He worked already on September 10th for Thommy Thompson’s Institute for Health.
http://www.lauriegarrett.com/wtc_day12.html
who also already told the White house to take CIPRO on the evening of September 11th.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-worldtrade-anthrax-text1.storygallery
http://www.phillyburbs.com/terror/news/1024beth.htm
Hauer was also a member of the John Hopkins Working Group on Civilian Bio Defense
http://iml.dartmouth.edu/ists/hauer.html
and a good friend of Dr. Thomas Inglesby (John Hopkins Institute), who later helped the FBI to analyse, if two of the hijackers had been infected with anthrax.
How much prior knowledge did Hauer have about the anthrax attacks?
On Oct 1, 2001 he was worried about “very few cities at this point in time are prepared to manage the consequences of bio-terrorist attack.”
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/news/WABC_investigators_100101bioterror.html
At least judicialwatch.org, a civil rights group, thinks, that the White House, the FBI, CDC and the National Health Institute had prior knowledge and just filed a lawsuit against all these institutions.
http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Politics/ap20020607_1792.html
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A15269-2002Jun7.html
http://www.judicialwatch.org/1967.shtml
But Judicial Watch probably forgot to put BIOPORT on this list, too.
BIOPORT possessed not only CIPRO in time, but also partnered with Battelle for America’s sole anthrax vaccine production. Bioport-largely owned by Britain’s top secret biowarfare consortium Porton Down, bin Laden family associate Faud El Hibri, Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr., a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and others (including, according to some investigators, the multinational investment firm and defense contractor, the Carlyle Management Group, that managed bin Laden family millions prior to 9-11, directed by past CIA director Frank Carlucci, James Baker, III, and Past President George H.W. Bush).
In 1998 Bioport received a $50 million contract by the US Defense Ministry developing AVA
(Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed) for 2.5 million US Soldiers.
They had officially three years time to finish this production.
During these three years Bioport had some bad luck with the health department and some patent problems, because later BAYER got the ok in October 2002 to distribute their vaccines.
What almost noone in the public knows right now, is that Bioports partner Porton Down was already on the list of the FAS (Federation of American Scientists) since the end of November 2001, as possible suspect, but according to the Washington Post, by December 21, 2001, the FBI had still not investigated Porton Down for possible culpability in the anthrax mailings despite the fact they maintained the identical Ames strain of anthrax, and through ownership in Bioport was connected with Battelle Memorial Institute and the DoD’s lucrative “Joint Vaccine Acquisitions Program.”
It looks like the FBI didn’t investigate anywhere, except twice at Batelle, where they probably interrogated a patsy named Michael P. Failey.
Barbara Rosenberg of the FAS therefore came a long while ago to the conclusion, that the FBI knows the real identity of the individual, who sent the anthrax.
Among the suspects is also Philip Zack, who worked at Fort Detrick, but other analysts handled him as a scapegoat, too.
And what about the pharmacy company Aventis, who has two plants within forty-five minutes drive from Trenton, where the letters came from?
Maybe it’s time that the US Congress asks Jerry Hauer, how much he knew.
As a BioNuclear-specialist he should be able to help out.
We still can’t trust parts of the FBI, therefore they got recently rehooverised with the help of the CIA.
If the anthrax case had something to do with the government, military (Fort Detrick) and the CIA itself, it’s a case for the Congress first, not for some dubious units of the FBI.
John O’Neill
======================================
As already learned, O’Neill was the most intense FBI-tracker of terrorist networks and their account system before September 11th.
In January, 1996, O’Neill helped create a C.I.A. station,
code-named Alex just for this purpose.
O’Neill made several trips to Saudi Arabia, one with former FBI Director Louis Feeh (NYC), but witnesses were executed before the FBI could question them.
O’Neill had also to deal with Leyla Banks (niece of former CIA-director Richard Helms),
at that time spokesman for the Taliban to figure out possible ties to Bin Laden.
But O’Neill was obviously almost on the right track.
In August 2000 the FBI tracked two suspects,
from which they thought they have Bin Laden -ties, too:
Khalid Al-Mihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi.
But later the FBI stopped these observations again for unknown reasons.
Noone ever asked why.
Then again for odd reasons the CIA observed the same persons, too and was even able to locate them again in October 2000.
Since June 2002 we also know, that the CIA spotted them already in in January 2000.
But they never told either immigration officials or the FBI about these two men (Newsweek).
Later these two people had been officially on the suspect list of the hijackers,
who had been able to board on American Airlines flight 77 (Pentagon).
The CIA sent an urgent cable to the FBI on August 23rd, while Colleen Rowley was still in negotiations with the FBIHQ and the NSLU to examine the computer from yet another suspect, Zacarias Massouai.
Rowley was also supported by FBI agent Dave Rapp, who complained about “resistance from headquarters staff” to search Moussaoui’s computer.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A531-2002May23.html
While the french secret service warned the CIA, this guy could be involved in a hijack with planes, the NSLU (National Security Law Unit) still was in contact with Rowley but stopped their communication on August 28th.
Why?
During these 5 days also FBIHQ chief-Dale Watson and FBIHQ manager David Frasca ignored Rowley’s concerns, which is very strange.
Watson, a former CIA guy, even himself warned the CIA months earlier about a possible attack, but a few weeks later didn’t listen to Rowley?
http://dailynews.att.net/cgi-bin/news?e=pri&dt=020531&cat=news&st=newsattackfbireportdc
This seems to be more than strange, but Watson didn’t testify in the 911 hearings either to solve this mystery.
And O’Neill didn’t react with all of these informations in the summer weeks?
Was he sabotaged or just quiet?
Who did silence him?
Did his job in the World Trade Center have maybe the only purpose to silence,
bribe ($300, 000/year) or even kill him?
Due to an interview in June 2001 between O’Neill and french intelligence specialists Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie (“Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth”),
http://serendipity.magnet.ch/wot/bl_tft.htm
he indeed claimed to have been sabotaged and complained, that “the main obstacles to investigate Islamic terrorism were U.S. oil corporate interests and the role played by Saudi Arabia in it.”
Brisard and Dasquie also wrote, “that the U.S. government’s main objective in Afghanistan was to consolidate the position of the Taliban regime to obtain access to the oil and gas reserves in Central Asia.”
The two authors wrote also about a meeting between the Taliban and Washington in August 2001, where U.S. representatives told the Taliban “either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs”
Not only O’Neill knew about a possible war against the Taliban, but also Pakistans former Foreign Secretary Niaz Naik, who was told “by senior American officials” about military action against the Taliban in October already in mid July 2001.
Why this odd coincidence and who exactly told him that?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_1550000/1550366.stm
But O’Neill complained also about another story:
In October 2000 he tried to get in touch with some suspects in Yemen,
but was harrassed by the ambassador, Barbara Bodine.
This was obviously also eye-witnessed by his colleague Barry Mawn.
Since then the circumstances around O’Neill became more than strange.
On Aug. 19th, 2001 in a Miami conference, his briefcase with some documents got stolen, later found again, but it looked like nothing was lost.
At almost the same time when FBI whistleblower Kenneth Williams released his memo about strange flying lessons by muslims in Arizona and Phoenix, he also received this memo, but ignored it.
It was never asked, why he did this. Was he forced to do it?
Unfortunately we can’t ask him anymore.
http://www.newyorker.com/FACT/?020114fa_FACT1
“It was very clear to John that Pickard was never going to let him get promoted.”
John O’Neill knew, that he was on the shot list anyway.
This Pickard was Thomas Pickard, who took over the job from Louis Feeh in New York for only month in August 2001. Why?
O’Neill died officially in the Twin Towers on September 11th.
http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/09/21/vic.body.terror.expert/
Thomas Pickard
=========================================================
During the weeks before September 11th, Thomas Pickard, at that time in a position of Assistant Director in charge of the Washington Field Office (WFO), took over the job of NYC FBI Director Louis Feeh.
Pickard, with best connections to the CIA, never testified in the 911-hearing so far, but has to tell us, why at least 8 warnings of intelligence services about an attack had been ignored, including the two memos of Williams and Rowley and warnings by yet another FBI-whistleblower named Robert Wright.
His attorney, David Schippers (former prosecutor of George Clinton) tried even desperately to warn his friend John Ashcroft on the phone about some insider warnings about an attack, but Ashcroft never called him back. Wright is now represented by JudicialWatch and was never asked to appear on the 911-hearings.
In an live interview some weeks ago on C|Span Wright complained, while having tears in his eyes, that John Ashcroft harrassed him not to go in public and reveal what he knows.
Ashcroft however received already another warning by the FBI not to use the plane,
11 days before George Bush received a memo by the CIA (August 8th).
http://www.cbsnews.com/now/story/0,1597,303601-412,00.shtml
Ashcroft should tell us about his situation with Wright and Schippers.
If Ashcroft decided not to fly, but ignored various other warnings, it’s also very disturbing, that Colin Powell was allowed to take a plane.
On September 11th he wasn’t in Washington- but in Chile!
Why is that, that even Major Brown of LA received one day before September 11th another warning not to take the plane and Senator Hart warned Condoleeca Rice five days before Sep11th about a possible attack (who had ironically already prior knowledge about that)?
http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2002/5/28/231650
Even the Pentagon warned all employees not to take the plane the next day- on September 10th, which was reported on MSNBC!
A list of 40 early warnings, including the Pentagon High Alert was handled over to CNN on May 15th, but they ignored to report about it.
Then we also learned, that the NSA claimed, they also received a warning about the attack including the exact date, September 11th, but was unable to translate this in time.
This however made news on CNN again.
Was 911 really a bureaucratic problem?
On August 6th, when George Bush received this memo by the CIA about an “attack with planes”, at least 8 other people received a short memo of this memo as well, confirmed by the Washington Post:
George Tenet (CIA) , Condoleeca Rice, Dick Cheney, Andy Card, Senator Richard Shelby, Sen. Bob Graham, Porter Goss (the House Intelligence Committee chairman) and Nancy Pelosi.
It has to be assumed, that Thomas Pickard received this memo as well and so did Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense and former Professor at Johns Hopkins University, where he worked under Mike Bloomberg, that time Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/May2002/t05172002_t0517jg.html
Pickard is also a friend of Paul Wolfowitz. Both are from New York.
On March 27, 2001 both supported a hearing on “Combating Terrorism: In Search of a National Strategy”, which covered mainly two questions:
1. What is the current national strategy to combat terrorism?
2. Who in the United States government is in charge of coordinating all federal agency efforts to counter terrorism?
http://www.house.gov/reform/ns/web_resources/news_release_march_27.htm
How much did Pickard really know, the former TWA800 investigator, Top Investigator in the 1993 WTC-bombings and one of the strongest supporters for a new cyber crime initiative in July 1999?
http://www.cybercrime.gov/ipinitia.htm
He should be able to testify for the 911-hearings as well.
Maybe Pickard can tell us also something about the North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force, who stormed on Sep7th, 2001 the offices of InfoCom Corporation, a Texas-based company that hosts a broad array of Arab Web sites, including the mirror of Al-Jazeera.
http://www.newsfactor.com/perl/printer/13407/
The original mission of the NTJTTF is to “investigate terrorist organizations planning or carrying out criminal acts occurring in the United States and to apprehend individuals committing such violations. To achieve this mission the NTJTTF has investigators assigned to Domestic Terrorism, International Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Hate Crimes and InfraGard initiatives.”
https://secure.infragardnorthtexas.org/ntjoint/index1.php
Part of the NTJTFF is the WMD Working Group who has “currently …over 120 members affiliated with law enforcement, emergency medical services, physicians and nurses, public health agencies, fire departments, HAZMAT teams, private sector businesses, military organizations and other Federal, state and local agencies involved in the response to weapons of mass destruction incidents…”
Thomas Pickard testified on the WMF group before the House Committee on May 3, 2001 to promote more funds for this group for “protective search suits, real-time x-ray devices, multi-gas monitoring systems, portable radiation detectors, and computers to access the Chemical and Biological Organisms – Law Enforcement database”
http://www.house.gov/judiciary/pickard_050301.htm
In the meantime Pickard doesn’t work for the FBI anymore. In January 2002 he took over a job as Head Of Corporate Security for pharmacy company Bristol Myers-Squibb.
http://www.bms.com/news/press/data/pf_press_release_2226.html
David Frasca, Massport, Westfield, FAA, James Hopkins, Barry Mawn
=================================================
David Frasca, who became famous during the “Florida gun-running trial” in 2000 as one of the interrogators, is currently SSI-manager of the FBIHQ.
He is yet another FBI-Supervisory Special agent, who should be asked in the 911-hearings, why he ignored this memo from Kenneth Williams. David Frasca received this warning in July 2001. Frasca however claimed, that he can’t recall a “Phoenix”- memo.
Noone asked him ever again.
But also Colleen Rowley complained about sabotage by Frasca, “without mentioning names, … basically fingers a mid- level FBI supervisory agent in the Hoover Building (in Washington) named Dave Frasca, head of the task force on religious fanatics. After the Minneapolis office took flight student and hijacker-wannabe Zacarias Moussaoui into custody and obtained intelligence from the French indicating that he had terrorist ties, alert Minnesota agents didn’t just passively push the case up the chain of command…”
http://www.msnbc.com/news/750356.asp
Once again: at the time, when Colleen Rowley was still in negotiations with the NSLU (after she failed at the FBIHQ), the CIA already updated their highest warnings to track some terrorists, 5 days before Rowley was in touch with the FBIHQ, on August 23rd, 2001.
Kenneth Williams memorandum also had already been sent to counterterrorism offices in two cities — one copy went to John O’Neill, then the top counterterrorism agent in the F.B.I.’s New York office.
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/21/national/21INQU.html
Rowley mentioned in a letter to Robert Mueller, that the “FBIHQ personnel refused to contact OIPR to attempt to get the authority…”
The FBIHQ contains of 5 people:
Former CIA-employee Dale L. Watson, Robert J. Chiaradio, Ruben Garcia Jr.and
Kathleen L. McChesney-
all potential material witness for the 911-hearings, but noone invited them.
But David Frasca should explain us also some other oddities:
Is he connected with Rudy and his son Tom Frasca , well known worldwide for the Frasca
aircraft simulators, the factory being located on
the Illinois airport. They also have an air museum on the
field. Tom Frasca, is the Airport Manager.
http://www.illinoispilots.com/downloads/EAA202.pdf
Or is Frasca also connected with Massport, who is the security unit of Boston Logan,
where some of the hijackers departed on September 11th?
Massport is represented by counsel Susan Prosnitz and consultant Doreen Frasca of Frasca & Associates, who was hired for $275,000.
Frasca served as financial advisor to the NYS DOT on the Stewart Airport privatization, the first to be leased under the FAA’s Pilot Privatization Program. Ms. Frasca is also financial advisor to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on the Terminal 4 Project.
Frasca & Associates are also co-financial advisor to Los Angeles World Airports, financial advisor to Myrtle Beach International Airport. Frasca & Associates has also advised AENA (the Spanish airport operator in its successful bid for 12 airports in Mexico, as well as for its bids in Costa Rica and Peru), the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, the Massachusetts Port Authority, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and several private developers of airport facilities.
Some of Ms. Frasca’s other prior airport financing experience included Miami International, Dulles International , American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and USA, Inc.
http://www.state.ma.us/gov/120301taskforcereport.htm
The FBI had many connections with Massport, among them agent Barry Mawn, another friend of John O’Neill, who also knew about his stolen briefcase with these documents and later convinced him to start a job at the Twin Towers, too.
http://www.indybay.org/2001/11/109645.php
Mawn tried to get a job as a security director at Massport in March 2002.
Barry Mawn, was the FBI agent who classified the passpord in the twin towers rubble by Satam Al Suquam.
http://www.azstarnet.com/attack/10916Nrescues.html
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/WTC_suspects.html
Mawn was former investigator in the EgyptAir-990Crash.
But Mawn also decided against an investigation in the NBC-anthrax case.
http://www.policetalk.com/anthrax-fbi.html
While Mawn in November 2001 even was a candidate to become assistant director at the FBI in NYC, he was retired for unknown reasons from the FBI in March 2002.
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/port04092002.htm
In a White House press conference on 7 Nov 2001 with Tom Ridge revealed, that Mawns retirement had maybe something to do with his accusation, that the Anthrax “was produced in the U.S.”.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/11/20011107-1.html
However Mawn obviously also didn’t get a job at Massport.
It is still unclear, if Massport had prior knowledge about an attack, too.
Is it possible, that Massport received a warning by the FAA, who knew about possible attacks?
Maybe someone should ask James Hopkins, who was the whistleblower at the FAA and later was fired for that.
http://www.nandotimes.com/nation/story/416665p-3322173c.html
Hopkins could not be reached for comment so far, same to the FAA.
What is the role of Massport anyway?
We don’t know yet.
On September 27, 2001, Governor Jane Swift established the Special Advisory Task Force on Massport to conduct a top to bottom review of the agency in the aftermath of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, but this report was never made public.
http://www.state.ma.us/gov/120301taskforcereport.htm
The report revealed already that time, that the Director of Security of Massport had to be fired.
Why? How much did Massport know? Was it also only a buraucratic communications problem with the warnings of the FAA?
The FAA has cited Massport for misplacing keys to secure areas and that Logan lacked video cameras in passenger screening areas of the terminals.
But at least the FBI received a video copy of main suspect Mohammad Atta. How?
How strong was the communication between Massport and Logan Airport?
Why the executives of Massport haven’t been asked in the 911-hearings yet?
What about a testimony with former Executive Director Virginia Buckingham or CEO Craig P. Coy?
And what is the son of Antonin Scalia (she was one of the justices on the Supreme Court who gave the election to Bush) working out with Massport in “any future litigation”, like hearsay said?
After September 2001, former commandant John DiFava, took over the position as the Interim Director of Public Safety at Logan Airport, but went back to the MIT, where he was already chief of the Campus Police Department. DiFava was then replaced by Captain Thomas Robbins.
Logan has been managed by five different operators: the U.S. Government, the City of Boston, the Commonwealth’s Department of Public Works, an Airport Management Board set up by the Commonwealth in 1948 and, beginning in 1959, the Massachusetts Port Authority
Then we have the ties between Logan and Westfield Holdings.
With Westfield begins the long list of people, which is speculated on various newszines,
who had probably insider knowledge about an attack.
Westfield signed a lease with the Twin Towers only two weeks before the attack.
http://www.westfield.com/us/corporate/retailer/
But westfield is also connected with all three airports, where the hijackers departed from.
They manage the retail concessions at Boston-Logan International Airport, Newark International and Washington-Dulles.
In Boston they have leasable Retail Space of 16,000 square feet.
Now on June 18th 2002, AP reported, that the report on security at Boston airport was altered.
http://www.nandotimes.com/nation/story/438193p-3508202c.html
The Globe had reported in March that the consultant, Counter Technology Inc., significantly watered down its initial report before making its final submission to Massport, which runs the Logan Airport. Massport said in a statement that at no time did it require CTI to “either reach or avoid certain conclusions.”
CTI’s chief investigator, Michael Beairsto, indicated he changed his report after meeting Nov. 7 with the airport’s general counsel, billing the agency for “revisions.”
Once again, this didn’t make national news.
Very strange in a time, where almost everything is about security, every vague threat makes breaking news but the White House obviously has more time to upgrade the Homeland Security to operate the INS or leave a suspicious suspect without any evidence, Jose Padilla, in jail, without telling the nation, that he was searching on the internet how to build dirty bombs.
But also insider trading on Wall Street are also still downplayed by the media.
While investigate journalist Tom Flocco (copvcia.com) could prove that even CIA executive Wally Krongard and Alex Brown Deutsche Bank seemed to be involved in a 911-insider trading scandal, already the business section of the NY TIMES confirmed, that FBI agents profited from 911, obviously because of prior knowledge about an attack.
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/25/business/25FRAU.html
Did they have special informations, the FBIHQ has ignored?
The indicment about this 911-insider trading named these FBI agents:
Lynn Wingate of Albuquerque, N.M., and Jeffrey Royer, a former Oklahoma City agent.
They worked together with Troy M. Peter, Derrick W. Cleveland and Amr Ibrahim “Tony” Elgindy.
http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/fbi/uselgindy502ind.pdf
Royer, who left the FBI in December, was wired more than Dollars 30,000 by Mr Elgindy for stolen info from FBI files, while he was an FBI special agent.
Elgindy was well known in the Trader Scene. He refers to a Khashoggi’s front that is known as Genesis Intermedia. Three weeks before the terrorist strikes, and up to the day before, he bought stocks in industries such as the airlines, insurance and arms.
http://www.onthecanvas.com/toppage13.htm
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ken Breen told a federal judge at Elgindy’s detention hearing:
“He made a comment predicting the market would drop to 3,000” at a time when the Dow Jones stock index was at 9,600, Breen said. “Perhaps Mr. Elgindy had pre-knowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks.
“Instead of trying to report it, he tried to profit from it.”
Interestingly SiliconInvestor.com found out, that Elgindys brother Khaled Elgindy
works for the Arab American Institute, a govern unit of the White House, which was founded by Dr. James J. Zogby, who is also member on the board of the CFR.
George Salem, on the board of the AAI, played also key roles in the Bush-Quayle and Bush-Cheney campaigns.
http://www.aaiusa.org/about_us.htm
Khaled Elgindy is responsible for mobilizing Arab-American action on various legislative issues. SiliconInvestor also found out, that his father is a Professor.
http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=17515441
Indeed there exists a Professor Hossam Elgindy, but if he’s the father of the Elgindys, couldn’t find out yet. Hossam Elgindy is Computer Science specialist, which could be interesting for investigative reporter Tom Flocco, who thinks that the real time monitoring software PROMIS might have been involved in the tradings.
Both Elgindys haven’t been asked yet about a possible connection.
Defense Language Institute Monterey, Col. Butler
===================================================
Another Institute who also dealed with arab-american interests was on High Alert on September 11th, which wasn’t investigated yet.
Early reports circulated around September 2001 and later had been picked up by copvcia.com and CentrexNews.
http://www.centrexnews.com/columnists/skousen/2001/1012.html
The Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) of the Monterey Institute of International Studies is the world’s largest non-governmental organization devoted to combating the spread of weapons of mass destruction. With a full-time staff of more than 50 specialists located in Monterey, Washington DC, and Almaty, Kazakhstan, the Center’s five research programs examine all aspects of nonproliferation, publish online databases, and train graduate students.
http://www.lib.sfu.ca/kiosk/corse/crim021413.htm
Only a few days after the attack Monterey was in deep contact with Washington to help out with possible profiling on the hijackers.
When the FBI released on September 27th all photos of the 19 hijackers, it was already known, that at least six men identified by the FBI as dead hijackers are still alive and the FBI list of 19 hijackers has become doubtful.
In diplomatic negotiations with Saudi Arabia, Monterey reported that Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al- Faisal “insisted on September 20 that the FBI mistakenly identified at least 5 of the 19 hijackers. He said an investigation in Saudi Arabia showed that the 5 Saudi men were not aboard the four jetliners that crashed in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania on September 11. “It was proved that five of the names included in the FBI list had nothing to do with what happened,” Al-Faisal told the Arabic Press in Washington”
http://www.ummahnews.com/viewarticle.php?sid=1657
The Saudi Embassy source said the FBI should realize that the following four Saudi men are victims of mistaken or stolen identity: Saeed Alghamdi, Mohald Alshehri, Abdulaziz Alomari and Salem Alhamzi.
Even Khalid Al-Midhar or Khalid Almihdhar, a “possible Saudi national” listed in the FBI first and second lists of 19 hijackers, are also still “alive”.
Waleed Alshehri, a native of Saudi Arabia and a graduate of a Florida flight school, who was originally named as one of the 19 hijackers in the FBI’s first list, is living in Casablanca and training with a Moroccan airline, an official of the Royal Air Morocco confirmed.
The vital, mysterious and extremely complicated issue of six living hijackers was “not the only major problem with the FBI information and intelligence. The FBI’s first list of 19 hijackers includes 7 pilots, but the FBI’s second list of 19 hijackers includes only 6 pilots. The first list stated that Hani Hanjour is “believed to be a pilot,” but the second list does not identify Hani Hanjour and four other suspected hijackers of American Airlines flight #77 as pilots.”
But if Hanjour was no longer “believed to be a pilot,” then who crashed the American Airlines flight #77 into the Pentagon, the U.S. military headquarters, at “9:39 a.m.” ?
In September 2001 however british police arrested the official flying teacher of Hanjour, Lotfi Raissi, which is in the meantime free again since April 2002 after he was plead unguilty in front of a british court.
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/16/international/16PILO.html
He even tried to sue the US Government or at least tried to get an apology,
but later decided to live in peace again.
“I am not a terrorist. I abhor terrorism, and my family in Algeria has fought terrorism and been the victims of it for a decade,” he said….”
Then we have Abdulaziz Al Omari, who said, he’s alive too and works as an engineer with Saudi Telekom.
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/story.jsp?story=94438
In another bizarre twist, the Air Force confirmed on September 16th, “that three people named by the FBI as suspects in the hijackings have names similar to three non-Americans who attended U.S. military schools. The names are Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz Alomari and Saeed Alghamdi, the Air Force said. It added, however, that discrepancies in their biographical information, such as birthdates, make it unlikely that they are the same three named by the FBI.
One of the three attended the Defense Language Institute at Monterey, Calif., and the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala.; one attended just the language institute, and one the Aerospace Medical School, the Air Force said…”
http://detnews.com/2001/nation/0109/16/nation-295698.htm
Already on September 11th, Air Force spokesman Col. Ken McClellan said “that a man named Mohamed Atta, which the FBI had already identified as one of the five hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, had once attended the International Officer’s School at Maxwell/Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama”
But McClellan later denied his own report!
However Witnesses from the Base claimed, that they remember Mohammad Atta from his moustache.
http://www.pressconnects.com/archive/attack/stories/091701N1.html http://www.flightsafetyacademy.com/ mistakes.htm
But this report didn’t go away for one week.
NEWSWEEK found out four days later on September 15th, that “five of the alleged hijackers of the planes… received training at secure U.S. military installations”
http://www.msnbc.com/news/629529.asp
“Another of the alleged hijackers may have been trained in strategy and tactics at the Air War College in Montgomery, Ala., said another high-ranking Pentagon official” in the same article.
The fifth man may have received language instruction at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas…”
Then again, 3 days later, in another article of pressconects on September 17th, it was found out, that Saeed Alghamdi was the man, who attended “California’s Defense Language Institute in Presidio of Monterey, California.”
http://www.pressconnects.com/archive/attack/stories/091701N1.html
Then all for a sudden, all these stories disappeared from the media landscape.
ABC later found out, that the other Mohammad Atta was someone else, but now he was located at Norfolk Naval Air Station, Va and playing with E-2 Hawkeye radar aircraft.
The “real Atta” however learned at Huffmann Aviation, which is connected to CIA-contractor Caribe Air, so author Daniel Hopsicker (www.madcowprod.com). He also claimed, that Rudi Dekkers assistant Nicole Antini, who later sued her boss because of sexual harrasment, was the one who filled out his visa applications, not Atta himself. She even spelt his name wrong: “Mohomed Atta”.
The original document can be found at Court TV’s split project smokinggun.com
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/terrorvisa1.shtml
More disturbingly only a few weeks ago, NY Post found out, that there was even a third Mohammad Atta, a dentist, who appeared on the early FBI-reports. A mistake, so it seems.
The Question is, did someone of the CIA “allow” some hijackers to train at these military bases for a better observation and later lost their tracks and if so, just for accident or on purpose?
But the early FBI-investigations after Sep11th also based on this obscure passpord in the rubble by Satam Al Suqami, classified by FBI agent Barry Mawn.
Maybe the FBI should finally explain us, which is the latest suspect list, when it will be updated again or if some agents had already prior knowledge, which of the hijackers would appear on the list?
Would that explain, why none of the 19 hijackers appeared on the original passenger list, because it was already monitored before the attack?
Who was expected on that list before Sep11th?
Khalid Al-Mihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi maybe, the two suspects from the FBI- and CIA watch list, or Mohammad Atta?
Or Hani Hanjour, as FBI informant Aukai Collins told ABC News on May 23rd?
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/DailyNews/FBI_informant020523.html
Monterey Language Institute however didn’t loose credibility for the Pentagon.
In the weeks following September 11th, the U.S. military had been “scrambling to find qualified speakers of Arabic and other Middle Eastern languages” at Monterey.
http://www.kqed.org/sept11/kqedcoverage.html
And the report of the high alert at Monterey on September 10th still circulated around, until on May 26th, vice chancellor Lt. Col. Steve Butler of Monterey accused in a public letter in the Monterey Herald, President Bush let the attack hapen on purpose:
“Of course Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism. His daddy had Saddam and he needed Osama”
http://www.democrats.com/view.cfm?id=7735
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/americas/newsid_2025000/2025939.stm
In the meantime Butler is object of a downplayed civil right discussion, because he was suspended from Monterey, but noone asked him about a confirmation and background information for a high alert on Sep10th.
Maybe someone should just ask Monterey Commander Colonel William M. Dietrick as well.
Or Diane Feinstein (D-CA) which priorities once included accelerated environmental clean up at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and McClellan Air Force Base, a new barracks complex at the Monterey Language Institute?
http://www.d-n-i.net/fcs/spartacus_mr_smith.htm
Once again, this story didn’t make National News and it has to be asked, why?
The Presidio of Monterey includes military,
civilian, Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) and contractor activities.
In case of a high alert there is a security guide.
http://160.133.207.103/atzp/dle/pom190-13.pdf
It says, that Public address systems, when used, will have a preprinted announcement available near the microphone.
Butler should confirm, if he has read these kind of announcements on September 10th and if there was any activity at the Bomb Scene Office (BSO).
It should be also easy to find out, if the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Fire Department, ambulances, and the DLE Police arrived on that day.
Monterey later also helped out the Pentagon, when they searched for “independent” translators for the Bin Laden Homevideo, which was found in Kandahar, two weeks after its original production date. Who exactly found this video, is still unclear, because neither the US Troops or the Northern Alliance arrived in one of these towns on the official day when it was found.
At least two of the three translators, Ali al-Ahmed,
Dr. Kassem M. Wahba (Johns Hopkins University) and George Michael (Diplomatic Language Services), had been organised by Monterey and their translation was released on their website at
http://www.lib.sfu.ca/kiosk/corse/poli022339.htm#Transcript of Osama bin Laden videotape
Another name of a fourth translator was classified until now.
The Pentagon later confirmed, that they manipulated parts of the translations for diplomatic reasons with Saudi Arabia.
This statement was made only 8 hours after german TV magazine MONITOR proved, that three of the most provocative sentences had been wrong translated.
The Pentagon always claimed, they hired “independent” translators, which wasn’t true.
John Hopkins is noted for regular “contributions to national security” and is also connected with Paul Wolfowitz and Pentagon advisor Thomas Inglesby.
And on the website of the Diplomatic Language Institute you can read, that most of their clients are members of the to US Government personnel.
They can learn 30 languages there, incl. Bin Laden’s dialect Urdu.
DLS is led by Andrew G. Ratliff, who took on December 28th, 1998 navigator lessons as a pilot at Randolph Air Base in Texas.
http://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/pahistory/release/1998/12/uft.htm
To close the circle around the “hijackers”, in another bizarre twist, the third translator, Ali al-Ahmed was already involved in the early investigations of the FBI.
As the director of the Saudi Institute, an independent human rights watchdog group, that has researched the hijackers’ identities, he said, that Abdulaziz Alomari, who was identified by the FBI as one of the hijackers who crashed into the World Trade Centre, “used someone else’s passport”.

Pentagon, Don Abbott, eFilm, Fieldsoft, PDonScene, George Bush
=================================================
The Pentagon was obviously worried since at least 7 years, that they would be target of a terrorist attack.
In a 1993 study they compiled a panel of 41 intelligence/security experts that included former ranking CIA, FBI, State Department and Rand Corporation officials, as well as an ex-KGB general and Israeli intelligence agent.
http://www.infowar.com/class_3/class3_081398a_j.shtml
Then in November 2000, they finally simulated a crash with some planes on a miniature model of the Pentagon.
http://www.mdw.army.mil/news/Contingency_Planning.html
http://mdwweb.mdw.army.mil/news/Contingency_Planning.html
On this website you can read the following info:
“…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….”

http://www.lebensaspekte.de/groundzero/images/pentasim2.jpg
http://www.lebensaspekte.de/groundzero/images/pentasim3.jpg
Don Abbott is also responsible for Emergency Response Training at the efilmgroup who who works on emergency videos and produced “ICS” (=Incident Command System) .
Efilmgroup is also known as Institute of Makers of Explosives and Emergency Film Group.
“I.C.S.” is a 25-minute program designed for law enforcement, firefighters, emergency managers, emergency medical personnel, government agencies, the military, security, and facility management personnel who may respond to incidents or be involved in joint response operations
One of their committee members was New Yorks
