Hello,

The NSA — a military agency — gathered and retains video footage of the Flight 800 downing which it has steadfastly refused to release.

Were the explosion merely the result of a virtual phlogiston fireball, as the government and its MSM blowfish diligently (and vigilantly) maintained, the NSA would surely have had no cause to withhold its spysat vignette from the public domain.

That there was trouble in the Pentagon’s Paradise became readily apparent when the CIA — which often functions in the dualistic capacity of flak catcher/chaff dispenser for more “senior” (i.e., more powerful) military intelligence agencies — was called upon to perform a desperately needed ritual purification. The agency — which possessed no qualifications to investigate airline crashes — manfully responded by crafting a deceitful anime depicting the Pentagon’s version of events which, unlike the previously referenced NSA footage, was immediately made available to the public.

As someone with two-plus decades experience as an aviation spares vendor (and who is quite familiar with the fuel storage, metering, and delivery systems of a modern jetliner), I found the government’s “explanation” — that vapors wafting about within a fuel cell had been ignited by a spark originating from its internal capacitive fuel probe — to be preposterous, what with its being technically impossible. The combination of low voltage and virtually nonexistent current, required for fuel probe operation, would not produce a spark under any imaginable circumstances; it was the magic bullet theory transmogrified.

Had qualified FAA investigators not been immediately muscled aside by unqualified FBI bully-boys — summoned forth solely to perform the grunt work of coverup — the Pentagon might, just this once, have been compelled to own up to its misdeeds. But, alas, America had long since devolved into a military despotism, unaccountable to anything or anyone; perpetually exempt from expiation.

Who among us truly believes that this is going to end well?

Hello,

“The White House has to pretend its in control but in reality the Pentagon is the real US government.”

Absolutely spot on!

The military took over America in the late 1930s with the inauguration of the Manhattan Project, and will never cede their primacy by peaceful means.

NORAD and 911

Within mere minutes of my being informed of the impact of Flight 11 into the North WTC tower — that is to say well prior to the intrusion of a second airliner into lower Manhattan airspace — I knew that the Pentagon was intimately and inextricably interwoven into the emerging tapestry of terror. And how did I know? In part, because as a youngster, by the luck of the draw as it were, I resided for 10 years on a military base wherein an important component of NORAD is headquartered. That experience, when combined with my subsequent 13 years involvement in the aerospace industry as a vendor of air traffic control avionics, permits me to address with authority that particular aspect of the days’ events.

It should be remembered that all of the flights allegedly hijacked on Sept. 11 were routine commercial flights, and as such were required, pursuant to FAA protocols, to submit flight plans to that agency in advance; the data contained within these plans includes, inter alia, average airspeed, assigned altitude, route coordinates, and ETA. The FAA, in its turn, shares all flight plans with NORAD, again as per requirement.

Even momentary deviations from any of the aforementioned criteria are detected in real time by the FAA’s and NORAD’s terrestrial antenna arrays and by space-based communication, imaging, eavesdropping, and GPS platforms maintained by the Air Force, and the NRO, and the NGA, and the NSA. Any sustained anomalies will set off alarm bells even if, especially if, a given aircraft were suddenly to observe RF silence, i.e., were it to disable its transponder. Otherwise the USAF, tasked with securing American airspace, would find itself unable to distinguish its friends — or to extinguish its foes — were the continental US to be suddenly subjected to aerial attack! The catchphrase for this omnivorous capability back in the day was “universal air surveillance.”

(Universal air surveillance, as defined to me by more than one participating scientist, on more than one occasion some four-plus decades ago meant that the velocity and trajectory of any aerial vehicle, aloft at altitudes ranging from a few hundred feet above sea level to several hundred miles above planet Earth itself was subjected to real-time, 24/7 scrutiny! So acute was the network’s sensitivity, even items as minuscule as the dislodged nuts, bolts, wires, and washers that comprised the flotsam and jetsam of American and Russian endeavors in outer space were precisely pinpointed at all times. The system, as configured in the mid-1960s, could track hundreds of air/spacecraft simultaneously and was, by virtue of its redundancy, considered to be fail-safe. This formidable achievement, attained as it was years before the NSA’s fishnet of spy satellites was established, and decades prior to the deployment of DoD’s GPS array was, not unjustifiably, a point of pride to both its designers and its overseers.)

Bottom line? At no point were the whereabouts of any of the four errant aircraft left to chance and thus the failure to interdict these flights could only have occurred pursuant to orders.

I well remember laughing to myself when, in the aftermath of the tragedy, a mainstream media organ was queried as to why the wildly deviant flight path of one or another of the doomed planes had proceeded apace — without detection, without interception. The news organ in question, forwarded that query to a gentleman it deemed certified to expostulate on such matters. The Expert replied that the aircraft tracking antenna (as though there was only one tasked with the tracking of the plane in question) was at that auspicious moment unable to detect the deviation because it had — Are you ready for this? — been “facing the wrong way!”

Say what?!

What his response implied, but dared not state, was that the lone antenna, though fully functional, maintained a fixed position 180 degrees opposite to that of the aircraft its was assigned to track and, for that reason, had been derelict in its duties. Of course, as anyone who has ever passed by a large airport has doubtlessly observed, air traffic control antennas are in a state of constant rotation, because the accurate management of air traffic requires the precise positioning of all aircraft in its vicinity at all times, a degree of accuracy, only the ongoing triangulation capability afforded by a rotating antenna can provide. Oh well, at least our Expert didn’t claim that a non-functional transponder was the culprit!

For a “real world” example of the tracking matrix at work, one need only to revisit the sad saga of PGA icon Payne Stuart. When the golfer’s Learjet lost cabin air pressure somewhere over the middle west and afterwards veered off piste, that deviation was quickly detected and his aircraft accurately located, promptly interdicted, and subsequently shepherded by a brace of F-16s. The fighter pilots were prepared to incinerate the zombie aerodyne were it to assume a downward trajectory that would culminate with its impact into a populated area once its fuel reserve had been exhausted. Suffice it to say that NORAD’s minions weren’t asleep at their CRTs that day!

An Ominous Postscript

On the evening of September 14th, I was visiting a relative in Northern Virginia. Naturally, the events of three days earlier were the cynosure of conversation. A neighbor who was present throughout the discussion the let it be known that his closest friend worked at the Pentagon, his employer of record being the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). He further elaborated that on the evening of the 11th his friend, rendered distraught by the tragedy, informed him that during the previous afternoon, his supervisor had taken him aside and suggested that he spend the next day with his family as it would be a “slow day at the office.” The underling, knowing that his wife couldn’t request a day off on such short notice, politely declined the offer. Almost instantly, his superior’s demeanor underwent a Jekyll-to-Hyde transmutation — his posture stiffened, his gaze intensified, and his voice acquired a stern sonority — at which point he was then ordered not to attend work on the following day! The junior employee complied, no questions asked and, come the morning, joined the millions of Americans glued to their televisions, transfixed by the unfolding events; the awkward exchange of the previous afternoon was forgotten, if but briefly. Moments later, it was reported that a third wayward plane had impacted the Pentagon, and that the collision point had occurred precisely where his office had been located!

Are we to suppose that the ONI official was only coincidentally clairvoyant?

(I learned subsequently, that the area impacted by the plane had very recently undergone extensive structural reinforcement. Why would a low-rise building, and one none the worse for wear to boot, require beefing up?)

Hello,

Mr. Margolis avers that “What we call “terrorism,” a mindless, empty term, is really blowback…”

I have never much cared for the term “blowback,” (a CIA coined weasel-word, if ever there was one).

Let’s call blowback what it is: payback.

Hello,

“The spectacle of the little Syrian boy, with his little drowned feet and little brown shoes, and the girlies of Europe boo-hoo. And lost on these tearful fools is the reality that the little drowned brown boy would have grown up to be a rapist, or at best, a welfare cheat,, etc.”

You slimy POS — your ass should first be banned from commenting on this, or any other, site!

The Unz Review is a great political blog — name one that is better — but the preponderance of
hate-spewing, sub-intellects that inhabit its comment sections will not have a positive impact
on recruiting new readers.

P.S. — All psychometric testing is BS as it cannot quantify imagination. The late Lenny Bruce had a measured IQ of 105, whereas the still alive and well Sharon Stone tested at 154. If IQ numbers mean anything, the aforementioned scores would be reversed.

Hello,

Since when is having a laugh at the expense of the Empire’s goons “too-clever-by-half-glibness?”

Hello,

This screed is grotesque!

My apologies for the double post!

Hello CP,

You are absolutely right!

As a chronicler of Fascist phrenology, I’ve found that pictures convey so much more than mere words…

Let’s see…there is Tony Bologna, The Poster Porker — http://islandbreath.blogspot.com/2011/10/youtube-keeps-police-brutality-videos.html

(I once dreamt that I saw The Tony on a deserted Hudson pier — trussed to a spit with an apple in his mouth.)

But it’s well to remember that not all goons are bedecked in blue…

For example, there is the thug-a-lug mug of General James R. Clapper, the Universal Barroom Bouncer —

The there is the sausage neck, hoggy jowls, and piggy eyes of Herr Hoof-und-Schnaut Amerikraut, sometimes referred to as Michael Hayden…

Their beady eyes and pink facades are like unto rodent neonates…

(And, please, let’s not forget the de rigueur rimless specs — the preferred eyewear of The Empire’s manic repressives.)

Their Prime Directive, one and all, is: “To Protect and Serve — the One Percent.”

Amen brother!

Someone should ask Mr. Buchanan two questions: How many people (of all ages and races) have been murdered by police so far this year? and How many policemen have been taken out by those of us blithely referred to as “civilians?”

The war on cops hasn’t even started…

Hello,

Ozymandias opines: “Putin got where he is because he’s a ruthless killer. Those who opposed his ascent are dead. But I guess we can trust him not to lie, that would be against his morals.”

It would be good of you, sir, to provide some empirical evidence to validate your accusations, otherwise readers of this fine blog might suspect you of trolling…

“It is the task of thinking men not to be on the side of the executioners.” — Camus

Hello all,

Re: the assertions of one reiner Tor

Tor states that: “The problem is that satellite surveillance is nowhere near 24/7. It’s more like a couple hours every day.”

Tor’s statement is absolutely untrue. The Pentagon, through both orbiting and fixed platforms — operated by its NSA and NRO tentacles — is able to maintain 24/7 space-based visual surveillance over any area in the world it chooses.

The Russian government, which tracks all American satellites, has confirmed the presence of at least one American spysat at the time the shootdown occurred; the Pentagon has not denied Russia’s assertion.

We can be no less certain that the Pentagon which operates, or has access to, a bevy of terrestrial and space based listening platforms, retains recordings of all communications between he doomed airliner and Ukrainian air traffic control.

And what about the information contained within the two flight data recorders currently in British custody?

The fact that the Pentagon has declined to publicize any of the evidence currently in its possession is anything but exculpatory.

Tor goes on to question the “claim that the Ukrainian satellite images were doctored.” The fact that the Pentagon has not contested the validity (or the provenance) of the Russian images is a matter of no small significance.

As someone with extensive experience in the aerospace industry (and who specialized in air traffic control avionics) I can assert with confidence that nothing about the American narrative of Flight MH 17 passes the smell test.

Thank you for your time,

John Q. Parvenu
