9-11: High Crimes And Misdemeanors
by Nick Winlund ( elecnic@comcast.net )
http://www.geocities.com/ndwinl/911/911report-Final3_3-OPLD.txt

On the morning of September 11, 2001 the U.S. military and NORAD were
engaged in a massive drill -- a wargames exercise. Many fighter jets were
grounded partially on the assumption a drill was in operation ( apparently a
series of drills simulating terrorist attacks against civilian targets took
place ). It is feasible a team of individuals working alone or with a rogue
intelligence / military apparatus planned, coordinated and carried out
operations and logistics within the scope of FAA ( air traffic control
towers ) and NORAD to secretly but overtly override this drill by
supplanting it somehow, thus enabling the hijacked planes to get through to
New York, the Pentagon and D.C. Capitol proper ( the likely target of the
plane-turned-missile probably shot down by the U.S. military over
Pennsylvania -- Rumsfeld said " shot down the plane over Pennsylvania " on
Dec. 24 [1] ). Whether all or some of the aforementioned individuals or
anyone else within FAA, NORAD, the military or NSA knew by this time 4
planes had been diverted by terrorists is another thread.

Bush's aides and his national security advisers knew at least as early as
Aug. 2001 Bin Laden wanted to attack U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. [2]

Based on the testimony of rescue workers, investigators and disposal crews
who examined and altered the wreckage it may be possible explosives were
detonated at the WTC site, most likely inside WTC building 7. [3] The base
and sides of this building had a unique curvature; more folded out and away
than collapsed. I believe it's been confirmed government espionage
activities were occurring in this building prior to 9-11.

9-11 was partly an inside job and partly a genuine terrorist attack. There
are traitors within our government: FAA personnel, spies, ( FBI intelligence
and possibly domestic intelligence with CIA involvement even though this is
against the law ) military top brass and subordinates and civilians all,
who, possibly together but certainly separately, took action at
strategically alloted times to conspire with foreign intelligence services (
ISI, Mossad ) to make 9-11 happen. It took years to chart out was an
international effort and cost a lot of money to plan and carry out an act
like this in an aggregated but centralized, focused manner. These people who
must be exposed and brought to justice for their treasonous crimes likely
networked with September 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, if
indirectly. Mohammed is a Pakistani who was previously foiled in the
Philippines during his attempt with others to carry out Operation Bojinka.
We know many of the hijackers obtained U.S. visas from consular offices
abroad by shady means. A DMV employee may have been murdered by the rogue
intelligence apparatus or the hijackers when she attempted to investigate
the identity of some of the Saudi men applying for drivers licenses. [4]

There are people in our government who knew a semblance of 9-11 would happen
and approximately when it would happen [5], stood to profit from it ( Iraq
war / military-industrial complex, oil monopolies, shifts in near-term /
long-term trade and national commerces beneficial to U.S. allies and U.S. )
and this chain of foreknowledge goes right to the top, up into the office of
the Vice President and the politically unstable: neo-conservatives and
politicians who abhor international laws and constitutional liberties, sow
confusion and mercilessly reap profits. [6] There is a fair amount of
propaganda out there about 9-11 -- some state sponsored in origin, some
independent and some delivered through fronts but the truth has a way of
getting out. The author has friends who lost friends in the WTC and he won't
forget how much talking with brokers changed his life while living and
working in NYC before 9-11.

Some people entertain the theory bin Laden and his terrorist networks acted
alone and that the U.S. government was not complicit. Let us not forget
Occam's Razor, which goes: given all explanations the most simple, common
explanation for an event is true.

Let's say for a moment al-Qaida, bin Laden, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and their
terrorist sleeper cells acted entirely on their own without any influence,
finance or logistics from any government or agency. That means 19 hijackers
( 15 were Saudis ) got money solely from private enterprises to coordinate
and carry out the 9-11 attacks. Most of the hijackers didn't get jobs none
invested in any capital venture while they were in the U.S. Someone paid for
flight school training. Someone paid for the terrorists' residency while
they scouted airports, learned flight paths and read airplane blueprints --
all while eating, sleeping and living in nice houses in Florida.

What was the Return on Investment for the 19 terrorists? A glorious path to
Allah. The RoI for bin Laden was nurturing and continuing a terrorist's war
against the U.S. and its allies. Remember we're still assuming none of the
aforementioned parties had any direct or covert influence, finance or
logistics from any government or agency - that's really stretching the truth
where bin Laden is concerned. As for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, strip out any
ties between him and Mossad, ISI or CIA. [7]

Aside from a few Saudi banks and wealthy religious contributors being out
several hundred grand it seems given the assumption of standalone action
there isn't profit to be made, or is there? How have defense department
contractors made money? By the military and Pentagon procuring goods and
services post 9-11.

Let's turn the standalone terrorist assumption around. What if certain key
people in intelligence agencies were intermediaries between al-Qaida, et al.
and other lesser key people in the intelligence field? A small but powerful
group of treasonist masterminds facilitated cooperation by giving leniency
to the terrorists through leaking or " misplacing " intelligence material or
authorizing these actions, thereby partly assuring corroboration between
compartmentalized key players for continued " legitimate " foreign service,
diplomacy and spying. Quietly and in code the treasonists used official
channels to get would-be treasonists in U.S. government intelligence
agencies, other government branches and members of foreign governments on
board. While the Good Guys domestically and across the world started getting
the big picture the Bad Guys would agree to lie about intelligence on
al-Qaida and look the other way at the right place at the right time. How?
They got paid to betray the U.S.

The role of intelligence agencies and possibly the State Dept.'s unknowing
assistance have been covered here. What about the role of the U.S. military
before, during and after 9-11? Of all explanations for the how, why and
where of 9-11, is not the most simple, common explanation for its successful
execution that the complicity of certain members in the U.S. military during
9-11 is true? How? Go back to the defense contractors. Many shareholders at
Lockheed Martin, Dyncorp and Halliburton wouldn't mind a big terrorist
attack on U.S. soil no matter the loss of life to reap near-term profits,
that is profits from ( no-bid ) contracts accumulated during war time. These
profits are made down the ladder from executives to regional managers to
departmental managers to consultants, foremen and workers for work like oil
field reconstruction, missile building and police training. Don't forget
deployment of our troops -- gear, food and tanks cost money. More
importantly one must spend money on those things when bringing troops into
harms way. Did the shareholders know a priori? Likely not. Why?
Compartmentalization. 9-11 was a very complex attack made to look like a
terrorist attack. It was a terrorist attack and it wasn't. The Bad Guys used
linear and non-linear combinations of operations in both concurrent and
singular manners to fool innocents and pay off corrupt parties. [8]

Figher jets should have intercepted and shot down the WTC/Pentagon planes on
the morning of 9-11. NORAD and FAA knew for almost an hour at least 4 planes
had been diverted far from their regular flight paths to the eastern
seaboard. The Bad Guys lied because they got paid to do it and nearly 3,000
people died. Our government shooting down all the planes would have been a
tragedy too but in retrospect comparing the loss of life it would have been
an acceptable solution if the planes couldn't be forced to land.

Progressives call 9-11 the people's investigation. Unlike the murder of JFK,
the author believes given time 9-11 will get solved. To paraphrase Abraham
Lincoln: "you can fool some people some of the time but you can't fool all
the people all the time."

"And I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would
face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did
the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New
York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the
people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate, to frighten
-- indeed the word "terrorized" is just that."

movement that has been organized since the early 1990s, declared war on the
United States twice, in '96 and '98. You [Bush] knew they were in the United
States. You were warned by the CIA. You knew in July they were inside the
United States. You were told again by briefing officers in August that it
was a dire threat."
