I’m sorry kids, but this place resembles a society of straight-thinking skeptics like Paris Hilton resembles virginity.
Let me guess: Operation Gladio (revealed in a series of Italian parliamentary investigations) was an “honest mistake”. That Nato intelligence and the ÇIA organized a “stay behind network” after WWII comprised of fascists who proceeded to blow up train stations and blame it on socialists was an “aberration”. That the Russian FSB was caught planting bombs in a building in order to demonize Chechnyians was a bizarre freak of nature. That Israelis were caught blowing up American and British targets in Egypt and trying to pin the blame on the “Moslem Brotherhood” was an unfortunate tactical error. That Hitler faked an attack on a German radio station and blamed it on Poles was a distinctly Hitlerian phenomenon. That the Gulf of Tonkin incident was similarly staged was a fantastical coincidence.
You have to be seriously…how should I put this -- retarded to look at the constant stream of false flag operations evidenced throughout history and then dismiss 911 skepticism.
As with the events of 7/7, on the day of 911 there were “war games” “simulating” attacks on the same targets in the same matter that occurred. The odds of this being a “coincidence” are astronomical. (You know, stars and stuff?)
You kids are completely and utterly ridiculous. I’m sorry to put it so bluntly but there it is. I briefly considered penning a wicked satire on pseudo-intellectual buffoonery after reading only a handful of threads on this forum. That you would piss on the graves of 911 families by not supporting them in their call for a new investigation is deeply shameful. That you affect an intellectual posture and a strident skepticism while swallowing the most bald-faced lies is simply laughable.
Time to grow up, kids.

Fortunately, there's this stuff called "evidence". Because it would be equally...retarded...to look at the stream of false flag operations and simply assume that this was another.
Welcome to the forum. Take a look at some of the threads; use the search function; become familiar with what has already been said. Then, if you have anything new to bring to the table, bring it.

Governmant cant be trusted, they are out to enslave you. There are conspiracies everywhere, from Zionists, to Freemasons, to Illuminati, to NWO, to PNAC, to Trilateral Commission, to CFR.
You live in a world where anyone could be an agent, a paid liar, an informant, a shill, etc etc.
Is it that hard for you to grasp why people look at you and see ultra-irrational paranoia? Ofcourse not. You have "the truth". You see "the light". Everyone else is a sheep, a slave, blind, stiff-necked, brain-washed..or worse....part of the conspiracy.

its just another one of their clues that points in opposite directions
norad was ordered to stand down, but they were conducting drills to prepare for just the kind of attack that happened
of course truthers say they didnt know any of it was real, although transcripts of the conversations with ATC and NEADs seems to show this wasnt the case, it took all of 2 seconds for them to say "this is real life, not excercise"

Why don't you ask your CT buddies about Bernard Black, Sr.? They say he was off playing golf on 9/11, knowing full well his 11-year old son was to die that day on AA77.

What's frustrating about so many of these people is that what they're saying sounds like skepticism. But it's not. The real things they should be skeptical about are dismissed because they're too boring (funding of education, congressional redistricting, environmental policy and sustainability, bloated, ineffective government programs, lobbyists...) and they seize on sci-fi conspiracy theories instead purely based on how much more fun and interesting they are.
There's plenty of "conspiracies" and back-door deals in Washington that need uncovering, money and favors changing hands and common people getting screwed in the process. But nobody's terribly interested in those, in energy policy and trade policy and product safety and lender responsibility in bankruptcy laws and all the other things that actually affect our daily lives.

Sad, but true.
Let me guess... Operation Gladio (revealed in a series of Italian parliamentary investigations) was an “honest mistake”. That Nato intelligence and the ÇIA organized a “stay behind network” after WWII comprised of fascists who proceeded to blow up train stations and blame it on socialists was an “aberration”. That the Russian FSB was caught planting bombs in a building in order to demonize Chechnyians was a bizarre freak of nature. That Israelis were caught blowing up American and British targets in Egypt and trying to pin the blame on the “Moslem Brotherhood” was an unfortunate tactical error. That Hitler faked an attack on a German radio station and blamed it on Poles was a distinctly Hitlerian phenomenon. That the Gulf of Tonkin incident was similarly staged was a fantastical coincidence.
So let me get this straight. "Government = BAD, therefore MIHOP".

it would be equally...retarded...to look at the stream of false flag operations and simply assume that this was another.”
I’m aware of Hume’s problem with induction. Thing is, when people see the sun rising every morning they tend to assume a sort of pattern at work. If I gaze at the horizon before day break and witness a general brightening effect I may very well conclude that the sun is about to rise. So it is with false flag operations and 911. All the indicators are there.
Operation Gladio? Wasn't that the plan to stop Spartacus from ravaging Rome?
You’re on the right track. The term “Gladio” refers to a short double edged sort used by Roman legionnaires 2000 years ago. In France Gladio was termed "Glaive", in Austria, "Schwert," Turkish Gladio was named "Red Sheepskin", Sweden's group was called "Sveaborg."
Belgium had a particularly noxious unit. They put on masks, strolled into supermarkets and gunned down old ladies and children – for a good cause, of course.
Incidentally, the man originally appointed to lead the 911 investigation – Henry Kissinger – was deeply involved in operation Gladio.
I've always been fascinated by this line of troofer logic, could you enlighten us retards how having a war game facilitates an actual attack?
Sure. War games serve as a “conduit”, as well as a means of plausible deniability (the first rule of intelligence). Thus, when Russian FSB agents were caught red handed planting bombs in an apartment complex, they claimed it was a drill. They also claimed, falsely, that the explosives were fake. The police chief said otherwise.
Oklahoma had a drill, 911 had several “hijacking” drills involving drone aicraft, 77 had drills based on a terror attack occurring on the London underground. Same time, same place, same scenario. Connect the dots.
Please start by showing us the evidence that shows there were 'war games “simulating” attacks on the same targets in the same matter that occurred' on 9/11.
Google’s your friend. Use it. Apparently I cannot post URL’s on this forum. Go read Tarpley’s or Ruppert’s books and feast your eyes.
For some psychological and emotional reasons, you all see the world as an evil, backstabbing, deceitful, untrustworthy place.
I regard states as such. The world itself cannot be reduced to “good” or “evil”. Only a fool would place their trust in the benevolence of government officials. Put on your thinking cap.
Zionists, to Freemasons, to Illuminati, to NWO, to PNAC, to Trilateral Commission, to CFR.
This is called bracketing. It’s a common propaganda technique. You’re conflating actual organizations like the Trilateral Commission with alleged (or long extinct) organizations like the illuminati. I understand your reluctance to embrace a unified field theory. I do not believe in a “grand puppet master” either. I also understand that “conspiracism” can be a negative force, causing people to focus on the shadow rather than the substance. Ultimately, if we wish to understand the way our society functions, we have to embrace both conspiratorial and institutional analyses. That means taking seriously the ubiquitous “black op”.
You live in a world where anyone could be an agent, a paid liar, an informant, a shill, etc etc.
I try not to accuse specific individuals of shillery. Unfortunately, there are indeed plenty of paid liars running about. Joan Mellon’s book on Jim Garrison’s instigation of the JFK assassination reveals a massive effort by the CIA to discredit his work, involving literally hundreds of people.
I feel really bad for ya dude. Seek help.
I’ll be ok. But thanks for the kindly concern.
although transcripts of the conversations with ATC and NEADs seems to show this wasnt the case, it took all of 2 seconds for them to say "this is real life, not excercise"
Go Google “Robin Hordon”. You’ll find some interesting tid bits from an air traffic controller, which you will then dismiss out of irrational bias.
Zumindest versucht er lustig zu sein.
Danke.
The CTers call the family members who received phone calls from the planes liars.
Some do, some don’t. There are various theories. Some involve the “hijacking drills” occurring at the same time as the actual events. Either way, the cell phone calls are irrelevant as to the question: were elements within the US government complicit? The answer is yes.
ad hominem arguments and appeal to pity.
I apologize. I couldn’t resist. “Appeal to pity” is not apt, however. Appeal to justice better said.
The real things they should be skeptical about are dismissed because they're too boring
I agree in part.
the problem ith CTers is they dont see it that way, to them the government is a singular monolithic entity
Quite the opposite, actually. So-called Cters tend to view states as they actually are – complex. Conversely, a familiar refrain for OFT (official fairy tale) adherents is to attribute all-encompassing powers to specific individuals or administrations. Eg. “Bush is incompetent ergo 911 was not an inside job”.
Such opinions are easily debunked by a cursory glance at the history of intelligence. For instance, Eisenhower’s Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities concluded that the CIA was “operating for the most part on an autonomous and free-wheeling basis in highly critical areas”.
Looks like a hit and run post. No cajones to back up his spew.

it would be equally...retarded...to look at the stream of false flag operations and simply assume that this was another.”
I’m aware of Hume’s problem with induction. Thing is, when people see the sun rising every morning they tend to assume a sort of pattern at work. If I gaze at the horizon before day break and witness a general brightening effect I may very well conclude that the sun is about to rise. So it is with false flag operations and 911. All the indicators are there.
"All the indicators" being...?
Your sunrise analogy works better if you can present a recognizable pattern. Your "stream of false flag operations" is more of an inconsistant drip, when held to history's timeline. Mightn't a better candidate for "sunrise" be the steady stream of actual hostilities by one group against another? As you say, "all the indicators are there."
What is missing is the specific evidence, the specific indicators, that are consistent with "false flag" but not with actual war or terrorism. Where is that evidence?

That was northern vigilance pardalis.
Vigilant Guardian, the semiannual NORAD exercise that had been running in conjunction with Global Guardian for several days and which postulated a bomber attack from the former Soviet Union. Vigilant Guardian is a Command Post Exercise (CPX), meaning it is conducted in offices and with computers, but without actual planes in the air. The exercise involves all NORAD command levels.[3] Out of a range of scenarios being run on September 11, 2001, one was a "traditional" simulated hijacking.[4] According to General Eberhart, after the first attack, "it took about 30 seconds" to make the adjustment to the real-world situation.[5] Because of an increased number of staff, the exercise would prove to be an enabler of rapid military response for NORAD and its NEADS component, as senior officials who were manning NORAD command centers throughout the U.S., were available to make rapid decisions.[6]

‘‘Operation Vigilant Guardian,’’ a fourth drill, simulated hijacked planes.

officer, took the call from the Boston Center warning that it was tracking a
hijacked airliner. Her first words were, ‘‘It must be part of the exercise’’
(Seely, 2002).
here is what seel;y had to say about vigilant guardian:
Sept. 11 was Day II of "Vigilant Guardian," an exercise that would pose an imaginary crisis to North American Air Defense outposts nationwide. The simulation would run all week, and Deskins, starting her 12-hour shift in the Operations Center as the NORAD unit's airborne control and warning officer, might find herself on the spot.
here is the part on the hijacked planes:
At 8:40, Deskins noticed senior technician Jeremy Powell waving his hand. Boston Center was on the line, he said. It had a hijacked airplane.
"It must be part of the exercise," Deskins thought.
At first, everybody did. Then Deskins saw the glowing direct phone line to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Was this was the kook discussion? (very ironic)
So what would the standard response be?
Shoot down what ever moves?
Here is how long it took to figure out 9/11 for the whole country. Flight 93 passengers based on knowledge of the events at the WTC figured it out and took action!
I say with facts in hand that the action taken by flight 93 is the earliest anyone could have figured out 9/11; unless there had been some chance intersection with some of my old flying buddies from Moody AFB, we could have intervened on all of the planes and made the terrorist miss.
But we were not in the air, we were not next to the airliners.
But flight 93 passengers had the knowledge, the means and executed our first strike. Without a doubt, that is the time it takes to figure out 9/11 and stop a terrorist. Make a note of it!
You could look up that data, that is the whole truth and nothing but the truth; and come up with the time to defeat the 9/11 terrorist.

Because of an increased number of staff, the exercise would prove to be an enabler of rapid military response for NORAD and its NEADS component, as senior officials who were manning NORAD command centers throughout the U.S., were available to make rapid decisions.

For what it's worth, Gravy, I think that both of these are reasonable interpretations of the claims you attribute to Wizard.
1) "being run" would include both the planning and the actual operation, so they were "being run"--including the planning session--until word of the day's events came.
2) is a matter of length of time. 30 seconds would not have made a difference, but does not make the claim a lie.
I don't see that Wizard is wrong enough to retract, but I also don't see that the drills made more than 30 seconds difference. I would hope that Wizard would agree to those things. If not...

Maybe not false, wizard, but definiitely disingenious of you...
1) is not false, you admitted a drill was scheduled for that day
Indeed, but the drill was NOT RUNNING YET at NEADS. Not running means no drill was underway. Whatever had been planned for the day was of course cancelled the second 9-11 began.
ETA: Merc makes a reasonable comment, but that was the upper management; the folks who were on the floor were probably just waiting patiently for the exercise to start..until real life landed on their desks.
2) you admitted it confused them for a very short period so that isn't false either
Indeed, those 30-60 seconds to establish that "this is no drill" prevented NORAD from stopping the aircraft...not.
Wizard, somewhere in thissubforum gumboot did a marvelous case study of the communications and timelines for the civilian Air Traffic Control, NORAD, the fighters at Otis and Langley, and the aircraft hijacks. I'd find it but its' closing in on my bedtime, so I'll leave that as an exercise for the student...

[build up]
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sometime between 1991 and 2001, a regional sector of the North American Aerospace Defense Command simulated a foreign hijacked airliner crashing into a building in the United States as part of training exercise scenario, a NORAD spokesman said Monday.
"Numerous types of civilian and military aircraft were used as mock hijacked aircraft," the statement said. "These exercises tested track detection and identification; scramble and interception; hijack procedures; internal and external agency coordination and operational security and communications security procedures."
[A carpet of gold – or bombs]
"Obviously, the war against Afghanistan was planned for quite some time. We know for a fact that it had been war-gamed by the Pentagon going back to 1997. Right around September 11, two US Aircraft carrier task forces conveniently arrived in the Persian Gulf right at the same time on "rotation." Obviously, preplanned. Just before September 11, the UK had put together what was billed as the "largest armada since the Falklands War" and had it steaming towards Oman, where now 23,000 UK troops are on maneuvers. This had been planned for at least 3 years. Also, the US "Bright Star" operation is currently going on in Egypt. 23,000 US troops plus an additional 17,000 from NATO and its associates. This had been planned at least two years ago. Finally, NATO just landed 12,000 troops into Turkey. This had been planned for at least two years. It is obvious that we are seeing an operational War Plan being executed here that had been in the works for at least the past four years. September 11 is either a pretext or a trigger or both."
Here was an exercise which included many of the elements which were put into practice on 9/11. Amalgam Virgo thus provided the witting putschists with a perfect cover for conducting the actual live fly components of 9/11 through a largely non-witting military bureaucracy. Under the cover of this confusion, the most palpably subversive actions could be made to appear in the harmless and even beneficial guise of a drill."
[the war games of 911]
On September 11, 2001, the Air Force was in its second day of annual wargame drills, titled VIGILANT GUARDIAN, designed to test national air response systems, which incidentally involved hijacking scenarios. In addition the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) which is staffed by military and CIA personnel, and is in charge of most American spy satellites, was running a drill for the scenario of an errant aircraft crashing into its headquarters. NRO headquarters also happens to be located just four miles from Washington’s Dulles airport – where Flight 77 (the flight said to have hit the Pentagon) originated...
Art Haubold told UPI, “It was just a coincidence. It wasn't an anti-terrorism exercise. It was an emergency response exercise. It was just a strange coincidence”.
Why was the NRO sending home personnel during what was likely the biggest military crisis on American soil in recent history? Who were the “most essential” personnel and what did those individuals do as events unfolded?
"It must be part of the exercise," Deskins thought.
At first, everybody did. Then Deskins saw the glowing direct phone line to the Federal Aviation Administration.
- "Amid Crisis Simulation, 'We Were Suddenly No-Kidding Under Attack'"
"Part of the exercise?" the colonel wondered. No; this is a real-world event, he was told.
The National Law Enforcement and Security Institute will be holding a conference called "Homeland Security: America's Leadership Challenge" in Chicago on 6 Sept 2002. The star speaker is Rudolph Giuliani. One of the other speakers is CIA man John Fulton. Here is the crucial sentence from the promotional literature for the conference:
On the morning of September 11th 2001, Mr. Fulton and his team at the CIA were running a pre-planned simulation to explore the emergency response issues that would be created if a plane were to strike a building.
Agency planned drill for plane crash last Sept. 11
Associated Press
August 22, 2002
WASHINGTON -- In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft crashed into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't terrorism -- it was to be a simulated accident.
Officials at the Chantilly, Va.-based National Reconnaissance Office had scheduled an exercise that morning in which a small corporate jet crashed into one of the four towers at the agency's headquarters building after experiencing a mechanical failure.
The agency is about four miles from the runways of Washington Dulles International Airport.
Regrettably the tragic events of 9/11 were never anticipated or exercised," said Gen. Ralph Eberhart, commander of NORAD.
[77 drills]
On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants , which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.
Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch.
Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.

There were “hijacking drills” involving “planes crashing into buildings”. You admit this, correct? If that isn’t enough to get your brain cells functioning, if that isn’t enough to make you glance at the 101 other anomalies of that day, you’re beyond hope. Admittedly, the 77 bombings were much more specific: they had the time, the place, the modus operandi. Spot on match.
Apparently some people think we need a signed confession by Dick Cheney in order to have a new investigation. Most 911 family members view the event as an inside job. They want a new investigation. Who the **** are you to deny them this “luxury”?
Every bombing attributed to “Al-Qaeda” is infested with intelligence links. You know that as well as I. Just as Oswald told a would-be jailer “call the FBI” – and was thence released – so did the alleged mastermind of the “Al-Qaeda” bombings in Africa when he was detained by Canadian police. Recently, a German associate of Atta claimed CIA and was also released from prison.

That Nato intelligence and the ÇIA organized a “stay behind network” after WWII comprised of fascists who proceeded to blow up train stations and blame it on socialists was an “aberration”. That the Russian FSB was caught planting bombs in a building in order to demonize Chechnyians was a bizarre freak of nature. That Israelis were caught blowing up American and British targets in Egypt and trying to pin the blame on the “Moslem Brotherhood” was an unfortunate tactical error. That Hitler faked an attack on a German radio station and blamed it on Poles was a distinctly Hitlerian phenomenon.

I’m sorry kids, but this place resembles a society of straight-thinking skeptics like Paris Hilton resembles virginity.
Yes, that's a truly inspiring simile. You're sure to win friends and influence people with that!
Let me guess: Operation Gladio (revealed in a series of Italian parliamentary investigations) was an “honest mistake”. That Nato intelligence and the ÇIA organized a “stay behind network” after WWII comprised of fascists who proceeded to blow up train stations and blame it on socialists was an “aberration”. That the Russian FSB was caught planting bombs in a building in order to demonize Chechnyians was a bizarre freak of nature. That Israelis were caught blowing up American and British targets in Egypt and trying to pin the blame on the “Moslem Brotherhood” was an unfortunate tactical error. That Hitler faked an attack on a German radio station and blamed it on Poles was a distinctly Hitlerian phenomenon. That the Gulf of Tonkin incident was similarly staged was a fantastical coincidence.
Having not studied any of the events you quote, I have no opinion of them yet. Because they are not pertinent to the current discussions, I'm not likely to, either. We skeptics most likely all agree that there are people and organizations that do bad things.
You have to be seriously…how should I put this -- retarded to look at the constant stream of false flag operations evidenced throughout history and then dismiss 911 skepticism.
Your logic lacks coherence. The "dismissal" - if you want to use that word - follows from looking at the evidence presented and concluding the government likely did not orchestrate the event - they aren't that competent - the official story better fits the facts than the alternatives. All presented evidence to the contrary so far boils down to conjecture - conjecture and evidence are not the same thing.
As with the events of 7/7, on the day of 911 there were “war games” “simulating” attacks on the same targets in the same matter that occurred. The odds of this being a “coincidence” are astronomical. (You know, stars and stuff?)
War games run nearly continuously. It would be more unlikely that a terrorist event occurred when a war game wasn't in operation. Most of the war games center on events the brass believes they need to be prepared for. If the games in operation are accurately reflected in your OP, then the brass was right.
When I leave the house in the morning wearing a rain coat and then it rains, it isn't a conspiracy. It means I read the signs properly (and watched the morning news) and was prepared.
You kids are completely and utterly ridiculous. I’m sorry to put it so bluntly but there it is. I briefly considered penning a wicked satire on pseudo-intellectual buffoonery after reading only a handful of threads on this forum. That you would piss on the graves of 911 families by not supporting them in their call for a new investigation is deeply shameful. That you affect an intellectual posture and a strident skepticism while swallowing the most bald-faced lies is simply laughable.
Time to grow up, kids.
I have nothing polite to reply to this. You present no argument or evidence, merely opinion, and as such, you are entitled, no matter how utterly wrong and foul.

Personal attacks and distortions = sophistry. Appeal to emotions and Appeal to the majority are logical fallacies, my friend.
So far all you've done is insulted people, distorted the truth, appealed to emotion the majority... and then you link-dumped someone else's work in an attempt to prove via gibberish. If someone debunks some of Killtown's issues, you claim they cherrypicked. If someone debunks all issues, you shrug, having wasted many of their hours, and say it wasn't your opinion anyway.

You must prove, before engaging in any kind of discussion about 9/11, that you are NOT a baboon.
Your very first post on this forum contained general insults to the regular members of this forum. There are only 2 possible explanations for such reprehensible behavior:
1. Since you have the manners of a baboon, you ARE a baboon.
2. You are a prepubescent male, not sure how to handle all of these crazy hormones starting to run loose in your system.
Let's go slowly. Because you are a conspiracy theorist, you understand the "logic" of proving a negative. For example, as an absurd CTist, you might say: "Prove to me it WASN'T Space Beam Weapons!".
Therefore, you must prove to us that you are NOT a baboon. Once we have a consensus here, we'll proceed to the next step. Which is, of course, a determination that you are NOT a prepubescent male suffering from raging and bewildering hormonal fluctuations as you slowly change from a boy to a man.

Sure. War games serve as a “conduit”, as well as a means of plausible deniability (the first rule of intelligence).
Oklahoma had a drill, 911 had several “hijacking” drills involving drone aicraft
Wrong, there were two (related) war games being or to be conducted on 9/11 by NORAD. Neither of them involving "drone aircraft". And they actually helped their response.

You left out all the arctic exercises preparing for the Soviet Army to come crashing over the Yukon (well prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union) and other similar exercises for events that never happened.
The planning for Afghanistan occurred because of past terrorist attacks. Exercises occurred for many scenerios in the middle east and eastern Europe, Asia, and anything else that could be imagined.
As it turned out, as we discovered in 1979 or 1980, we didn't know enough about performing operations in the middle east and plans were developed to remedy that deficiency. Then in the 1990s we had to put some of that practice to practical use.
We haven't put everything we practice to use, and much of what we have had to do we never practiced for. What does the seeming coincidence that the brass saw a threat from the terrorists, including attempts at toppling tall buildings via various methods, have to do with the handful of exercises the military tried to get a handle on such things as a hi-jacking of an airplane and subsequent crash into a building really mean? Diddly.
Actually, ...
It means that a few of the many things they practiced for finally happened. As it turned out, they still weren't ready for it.

The truth is, 911 is the goofiest story “they” have tried to pass off on an unsuspecting populace. It would take a profound moron to gel with the “evidence trail” of M. Atta. I repeat: a profound moron.

Concentrate on the complete absurdity of 911 being a CT and you may come to some realisation, honestly examine all the things that HAVE to have come together MIRACULOUSLY for this to be pulled of as a CT !
Consider this … the classic CT argument about the “War games” .. on one hand it “confused” the situation.. on the other it made the authorities MORE able to act quickly .. but they “didn’t” anyway.. CT’s hold completely contradictory views at the same time !

Who was behind the false flag operation and who was monitering them?

“we didn't know enough about performing operations in the middle east and plans were developed to remedy that deficiency. Then in the 1990s we had to put some of that practice to practical use.”
Indeed you did, kid. A carpet of bombs or a carpet of bombs. You can’t possibly be this naive. Run – don’t walk – to Smedley.
“I spent thirty-three years and four months in active service in the country's most agile military force, the Marines. I served in all ranks from second Lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism…
“I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it.
Thus I helped make Mexico, and especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the raping of half-a-dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers and Co. in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras "right" for American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. I was rewarded with honors, medals, and promotion. Looking back on it, I feel that I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate a racket in three city districts. The Marines operated on three continents.”

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sometime between 1991 and 2001, a regional sector of the North American Aerospace Defense Command simulated a foreign hijacked airliner crashing into a building in the United States as part of training exercise scenario, a NORAD spokesman said Monday.
From the same article (http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/04/19/norad.exercise/):
"The exercise was solely to test procedures and was no indication that NORAD had any reason to believe the scenario would happen in the real world, according to a spokesman.
It is unclear whether the simulated scenario was that of a hijacked plane being "used as missile" -- intentionally crashing into a building -- or that of an out-of-control hijacked plane."
"Numerous types of civilian and military aircraft were used as mock hijacked aircraft," the statement said. "These exercises tested track detection and identification; scramble and interception; hijack procedures; internal and external agency coordination and operational security and communications security procedures."
From the same article (http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2004-04-18-norad_x.htm):
"Until Sept. 11, NORAD was expected to defend the United States and Canada from aircraft based elsewhere. After the attacks, that responsibility broadened to include flights that originated in the two countries.
But there were exceptions in the early drills, including one operation, planned in July 2001 and conducted later, that involved planes from airports in Utah and Washington state that were "hijacked." Those planes were escorted by U.S. and Canadian aircraft to airfields in British Columbia and Alaska.
NORAD officials have acknowledged that "scriptwriters" for the drills included the idea of hijacked aircraft being used as weapons.
"Threats of killing hostages or crashing were left to the scriptwriters to invoke creativity and broaden the required response," Maj. Gen. Craig McKinley, a NORAD official, told the 9/11 commission. No exercise matched the specific events of Sept. 11, NORAD said.
"We have planned and executed numerous scenarios over the years to include aircraft originating from foreign airports penetrating our sovereign airspace," Gen. Ralph Eberhart, NORAD commander, told USA TODAY. "Regrettably, the tragic events of 9/11 were never anticipated or exercised.""
Here was an exercise which included many of the elements which were put into practice on 9/11. Amalgam Virgo thus provided the witting putschists with a perfect cover for conducting the actual live fly components of 9/11 through a largely non-witting military bureaucracy.
The two NORAD war games on 9/11 were Global Guardian and Vigilant Guardian, not Amalgam Virgo. Amalgam Virgo (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/amalgam-virgo.htm) was a simulation of a cruise missile attack in June 2001.
In addition the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) which is staffed by military and CIA personnel, and is in charge of most American spy satellites, was running a drill for the scenario of an errant aircraft crashing into its headquarters. NRO headquarters also happens to be located just four miles from Washington’s Dulles airport – where Flight 77 (the flight said to have hit the Pentagon) originated...
What's your point here? The NRO simply isn't and wasn't in charge of defending US airspace. The drill being conducted in their office was irrelevant to the US military's response on 9/11.
Morphology, you claimed that hijacking exercises were being run on 9/11 that simulated what actually happened that day
There were “hijacking drills” involving “planes crashing into buildings”.
Show us proof there were “hijacking drills” involving “planes crashing into buildings” being conducted on 9/11 or shut up.

"Having not studied any of the events you quote"
You seem like a nice guy. Start with D. Genser's book on operation Gladio. Shocking revelations ensue.
Simple fact is: western intelligence love to target children with explosives. Outrage is good print for imbeciles such as frequent this site.
So far the only relevant point I can find is that these tactics seem to be universal - and universally despised. Terrorists use them to induce terror. Nations use them to ... cause terror and confusion. I understood long ago that much of our country's history, to include recent times, includes such things. When the evidence supports the conclusion that a given event represents an example of this, I'll readily accept it.
9/11 doesn't appear to be an example of the US Government involved in such activity - rather other nefarious agencies committed the actions here. It was still a conspiracy, if you will, not within the US Government, but within a highly radical group of well educated extremists. The only solid evidence presented leads to this conclusion.
Opinions about President Bush don't count as evidence. That the US government has engaged in equivalent actions in the past is not evidence it happened on 9/11. Circumstantial evidence only goes so far and is useless when solid evidence leads elsewhere.

Proof that Turn of the Century 1901 = Turn of the Century 2001? So trashing the WTC is good for big business? If big oil and big business were really so savvy they'd invest in ways to abandon oil and leave the Middle East in the lurch (actually, with China and India up and coming, actually arrived, oil consumers, the US will rapidly become a bit player).

General Smedley only proves he was in on the racket in the early 1900's. He doesn't prove President Bush is today. Of course that doesn't mean G.W. gets a clean political bill of health - but it in no way implicates him in 9/11.
