Anybody know this about NORAD?
According to an Alex Jones documentary (American Dictators if you're wondering: I'm halfway through and the film 98% concentrates on Bush) he showed a segment that was on ABC where a guy was talking about NORAD. According to this guy two years prior to 9/11 NORAD was doing safety drills on hijacked plane's to prepare for an attack as weapons. One target was the World Trade Center. So where was NORAD on 9/11? According to USA Today the US air space defenders, NORAD, conducted exercises with fighter jets simulating hijacked plane's flown in the WTC two years prior to the attacks. Pentagon planners also envisioned the attacks on the building five months before it happened. According to an April 21st Pentagon Email air force officials wanted a war gate having a terrorist group hijack a commercial airline and fly it into the Pentagon.

1. Can you please source this a bit?
"A guy on ABC" just doesn't cut it.

The Pentagon rehearsed emergency response to a plane crash into the Pentagon in Oct. 2000.

2. This is fairly well known. E.g. see Mike Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon"
The Pentagon war "game" with "a terrorist group hijack a commercial airline and fly it into the Pentagon" may be a reference to the Amalgam Virgo wargame that was similar to 9/11.

5. Sec. Mineta testimony contradicts NORAD story & Cheney about Pentagon p
plane and time that Cheney and NORAD and Pentagon were aware of the plane heading for the Pentagon. Also regarding the Fl 93 plane. They said that the FAA did not notify Cheney or the Pentagon until after the Pentagon was hit. But...


Normal Mineta testimony at 9/11 Commission

I was made aware of it during the time that the airplane coming into the Pentagon. There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?"


MR. MINETA: I didn't know about the order to shoot down. I arrived at the PEOC at about 9:20 a.m. And the president was in Florida, and I believe he was on his way to Louisiana at that point when the conversation that went on between the vice president and the president and the staff that the president had with him.
MR. ROEMER: So when you arrived at 9:20, how much longer was it before you overheard the conversation between the young man and the vice president saying, "Does the order still stand?"
MR. MINETA: Probably about five or six minutes.
...
MR. HAMILTON: But there were military planes in the air in position to shoot down commercial aircraft.
MR. MINETA: That's right. The planes had been scrambled, I believe, from Otis at that point.

6. Cross the Rubicon. Please.
Edited on Mon May-23-05 12:03 AM by Rob Conn
The terrorism drills on 9/11, there were at least five, are all covered in the book, "Crossing The Rubicon", by Michael Ruppert. The drills are one of the biggest issues that have not yet emerged in the mainstream whatsoever. The book is the definative account of 9/11 by one of the most respected authorities on the issue. Its also 700 pages. But if you want to know all there is to know, with great references, buy the book and read it. - R.C.

8. I've read Dr. Griffin's 2 books and the case is clear, but not all details
Maybe Ruppert's book will fill in some more details. I guess it cost a good bit. Is best deal on his site or Amazon?

Dr. Griffin's summary of his 2nd book


The 9/11 Commission Report: A 571-Page Lie
by Dr. David Ray Griffin
