9/11 WAR GAMES

FAA: Hi. Boston Center TMU [Traffic Management Unit], we have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York, and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out.

NEADS [Northeast Air Defense Sector]: Is this real-world or exercise?

FAA: No, this is not an exercise, not a test. 9/11 Commission Report

On the day of 9/11 there were multiple air defense exercises and emergency drills being conducted with some of them having an eerie similarity to what actually happened. These drills took intercept aircraft out of their areas and even caused confusion for agencies switching from an "exercise" to a "real-world" scenario. Imagine being ordered to practice for hijackings and planes flying into buildings and then finding out that it was really happening. Nothing like it had ever happened before - what are the chances?

Once again we find precedent for this in Operation Northwoods. Part of the plot was to use air defense drills as a cover for the shootdown scenario they planned to emotionally outrage Americans in order to justify the invasion of Cuba. They had the aircraft armed so that when the exercise went "real-world" they could respond. They even wanted the innocent pilots to be the ones to discover the planted aircraft debris so that they "would have a true story as far as they knew". The following paragraph is a partial quote from that element of their plan with a link to a searchable version of the document to see the other details.

"Approximately 4 or 5 F-101 aircraft will be dispatched in trail from Homestead AFB, Florida, to the vicinity of Cuba. Their mission will be to reverse course and simulate fakir aircraft for an air defense exercise in southern Florida. These aircraft would conduct variations of these flights at frequent Intervals." Operation Northwoods

The rest of this page provides various quotes and information about the drills and their history. A paragraph with a bold name at the end of it means that you can find more details in the corresponding sidebar. They link to outside articles.

"In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 [2001] in which an errant aircraft would crash into one of its buildings.....'It was just an incredible coincidence that this happened to involve an aircraft crashing into our facility,' Haubold said. 'As soon as the real world events began, we canceled the exercise'." National Reconnaissance Office

North American Aerospace Defense Command had just begun Operation Northern Vigilance. For this military operation, it deployed fighters to Alaska and Northern Canada to monitor a Russian air force exercise in the Russian Arctic and North Pacific Ocean, scheduled for September 10 to September 14. NORAD

"The September 11, 2001 attacks occurred during that year's Global Guardian and Vigilant Guardian joint exercises.....Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins, who said 'everybody' at NEADS first thought the attacks were part of Vigilant Guardian." U.S. Strategic Command

"The Federal Aviation Administration received repeated warnings in the months before Sept. 11, 2001, that al Qaeda hoped to attack airlines, according to a previously undisclosed report by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks.....The report detailed 52 such warnings to FAA leaders between April 1 and Sept. 10, 2001, about the terrorist organization and its leader, Osama bin Laden." FAA

What if I told you that a key player on the day of the 9/11 attacks and afterwards was on a committee that considered airliners used as weapons in 1972? What if I told you that person was Rudolph Giuliani? Would you believe me?

"Nearly three decades before the Sept. 11 attacks, a high-level government panel developed plans to protect the nation against terrorist acts ranging from radiological "dirty bombs" to airline missile attacks, according to declassified documents obtained by The Associated Press.......The group was formed in September 1972 by President Nixon after Palestinian commandos slaughtered 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games.....The committee involved people as diverse as Henry Kissinger to a young Rudolph Giuliani, the once-secret documents show." Mayor Giuliani

"President Bush named Kissinger to lead the 10-member commission last month, dropping his longstanding opposition to an independent probe of the events leading up to the September 11 terrorist attacks." It was also probably just a coincidence that Henry Kissinger was asked by Bush to be the original head of the 9/11 Commission. Henry Kissinger

Way back in 1962 a plot that involved hijacking and "crashing airliners" was hatched by the Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to justify the U.S. invasion of a country. In 1972 the future Mayor of a city that would be attacked 19 years later by hijacked aircraft studied the possibility of airliners being used as weapons with the man to later be appointed the original head of the 9/11 Commission.

From 1991 through 2001 military drills with similarities to the 9/11 attacks were conducted including an airliner crash into the Pentagon. The FAA had been warned 52 times of the possibility of hijacking's in the 5 months preceding 9/11. On the morning of 9/11 drills were being played out that pulled our military intercepts away from responding and that were potentially so similar to the actual events that the military and the FAA were confused switching from the "exercise" to the "real-world".

Also that very same morning in a "bizarre coincidence" an intelligence agency was having an exercise of a plane crashing into a building in Washington D.C. just a few miles from where a plane, according to the official story, really did hit a building. The plane just happened to hit the only wall of the building that was just finishing being reinforced the very same week in case of a terrorist attack. The Captain of the flight that reportedly hit the building had actually worked in the exact offices that were destroyed where he had planned anti-terrorism strategies until 1996. Then 27 days later the U.S. President invaded a country, then another and is now posturing for yet another.

"Had I known that the enemy was going to use airplanes to kill on that fateful morning, I would have done everything in my power to protect the American people." George Bush
