September 11, 2001, Ten Years Later

twintowers9-11I will never forget September 11, 2001, probably the worst day in American History, and a day that changed my life forever.

Ten years ago today, I was awakened by my mom who told me that I had to get up and watch CNN. She woke me up as soon as the story hit the news.

My daughters were still asleep because it was very early, around 5 or 6 am PST.

The news was saying that a small plane had hit the World Trade Center. I took one look at the hole in side of the building and knew something was not kosher. I told my mom that dink terrorist probably attacked us.

As we watched the coverage, the second plane hit the World Trade Center and I knew it was war.

There was no doubt in my mind that Arab Terrorist and Muslim fanatics had hit us.

Hell, who else in this world would do such a cowardly thing as to attack and kill innocent civilians in a major city because they know civilians would not fight back?

As I watched what was going on literally for like a week straight, I had thoughts of wanting to get some payback on the sons of bitches who attacked us and wanting to kill as many of them as possible.

I was pissed off at George Bush for hiding all day and not showing up on the news until the evening with what I thought was a weak message.

I was pissed off that tactical fighters had not been deployed to stop the second and third planes from hitting. I was pissed off and horrified.

I immediately put the American Flag out at my mom’s house, and went out and got two American flags to put on my car of the type that goes in the window and sticks up. Hell I had those flags on until the literally fell apart.

I even went out and got a certain tattoo on my inner forearm so that in case I ever was on a plane with some of those dink terrorist, I would have no choice but to fight unlike the passengers on the two planes that hit the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon.

We all know that the passengers on a 4th plane fought back, they died, but at least they went down fighting, they probably saved hundreds of lives.

I called my old Air National Guard unit, the 261st Combat Communications Squadron who put me in touch with a recruiter who was attached to the 146th Tactical Air Lift Wing, about re-enlisting back into the Air National Guard. I wanted to do whatever I could.

I was told that I was too old to go into Officer Training School, I was 38 at the time, but I was told that I could re-enlist at my old Air Force enlisted rank doing my old job, which has been basically obsolete for many years now.

In the end I decided that my mom and my daughters needed my financial support more than the Air Force needed an attorney who they would put back in as an enlisted Airman and have to retrain in some other job.

I really wish the Air Force could have done something to get me into OTS. It would have been a pay cut, but I wanted to serve again after September 11th.

They say that 3,049 people died on September 11, 2011. I say that probably more people died than that. You know there had to be some people in the towers or on the streets that had no family, or were disenfranchised from their families, that went unreported.

In the two wars that we have fought and/or are still fighting as a result of the terrorist attack, we have lost over 4,000 troops with countless others injured and maimed as a result.

I am so very glad that we killed the dink Osama Bin Laden, but I am very unhappy about how we have fought the two wars.

We should have never been in Iraq; we went into Iraq because of an intentional lie by Bush and his cronies. I feel for our troopers in Iraq, went in and paid the ultimate price for a war based on a lie. Notwithstanding this fact, they did fight with honor, and they deserve our full support and respect. They did what they were ordered to do!

With respect to Afghanistan, why are we playing tootsie with the enemy?

In World War II, we learned how to win an all-out war, why don’t we fight our wars like that anymore?

In Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, we have fought our wars half ass. Yes we win the battles, but we are not winning the wars. You want to know why, because we want to be politically correct.

I say bomb them until they surrender like we did to the Germans and the Japanese. Forget about collateral damage, forget about anything but winning. Eventually they will surrender or be destroyed. We learned this in WWII. Why don’t we fight like this anymore?

Anyway, I got off subject here.

So here we are ten years later. We are still playing tootsie foot with our enemies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the World Trade Center was not rebuilt, and instead they have built a memorial on the footprint of the old buildings and are building a consolation building instead.

I would like to have seen the World Trade Center towers built back to their original glory except maybe re-designed to withstand an airplane strike

To make matters worse, gas is twice the price it was on September 11, 2001, so we are in effect helping to finance those who would attack us.

I am confident that we will get through this turmoil in our history, however as for me, I will never forget September 11, 2001.

May god bless the United States of America.

    As an Aircraft Armament Systems Specialist on supersonic nuclear alert bombers, my job in USAF was controlled demolition of active US military bases in highly populated areas by detonating C4 on live nuclear bombs, under command of NATO not the Pentagon, and targeting nukes at West Germany not Communist Russia. So when I saw WTC hit by the 2nd jet, I knew the USAF was ordered to stand down, but at that time I had no idea who was powerful enough to overthrow USA (NWO). I had not yet read Operation Northwoods, but I did know the FBI confessed in court on audio to bombing WTC in 1993. With a dead calm, I knew for a fact it was an inside job.

    I was also a paralegal investigator for my family’s law firm now on the trillion-dollar Dream Team suing the Bin Ladens and Saudis for 9/11, except the Bush/obama White House and US Supreme Court blocked that lawsuit. The Bin Ladens and Saudis are defended by James Baker, White House chief of staff and ambassador to Iraq who told Saddam to go ahead and invade Kuwait 1 week before Desert Storm and the start of the 20-year Iraq War.

    I’m featured monthly on History Channel for interviewing an Air Force colonel who heard the confession by his friend Major Rick Gibney, Top Gun F16 pilot in N Dakota Air Nat Guard at Langley VA, to shooting down United Airlines Flight 93 on 9/11, rewarded on TV by the governor of N Dakota and the Congressional Record. Gibney and his commanding general ignored Cheney/Rumsfeld’s illegal standdown order delivered by the British/Canadian general in charge of NORAD on 9/11.

    Here’s what I heard on my police scanner live on 9/11/2001: “The FBI has issued a BOLO on suspected terrorists driving a white delivery van from New York City to the Mexican border. The suspects are using Israeli passports. They are armed and dangerous.”

    “Vehicle possibly related to New York terrorist attack. White, 2000 Chevrolet van with New Jersey registration with ‘Urban Moving Systems’ sign on back seen at Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, at the time of first impact of jetliner into World Trade Center. Three individuals with van were seen celebrating after initial impact and subsequent explosion. FBI Newark Field Office requests that, if the van is located, hold for prints and detain individuals.”
    -FBI BOLO (“Be On Lookout”), 11 September 2001, 3:31 p.m., according to Bergen County Police Chief John Schmidig

    The first terrorists arrested on 9/11/2001 were Israeli Mossad agents dressed as Arabs driving a white delivery that tested positive for explosives. They were standing near the WTC celebrating the burning towers — dressed as Arabs. They were soon released without waterboarding at Gitmo, to brag about their false-flag psyop on Israeli TV.

    “I have already said that I am not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other human beings as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. According to my information, the death toll is much higher than what the U.S. Government has stated. But the Bush Administration does not want the panic to spread. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the U.S. system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive. They can be anyone, from Russia to Israel and from India to Serbia. In the U.S. itself, there are dozens of well-organized and well-equipped groups, which are capable of causing a large-scale destruction. Then you cannot forget the American-Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and want to avenge him. This system is totally in the control of the American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is clear that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid down by them.”

    “The Israeli Defense Force is a 500-pound gorilla in Israel. Known to disregard international law to accomplish mission. Very unlikely to fire on American forces [except for USS Liberty then blamed Egypt]. Fratricide a concern especially in air space management. MOSSAD: Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target US forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.”

    “Operation NORTHWOODS may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. Operation Northwoods had called for nothing less than the launch of a secret campaign of terrorism within the United States in order to blame Castro and provoke a war with Cuba.”
    —James Bamford, ABC News, “Friendly Fire – U.S. Military Drafted Plans to Terrorize U.S. Cities to Provoke War With Cuba,” May 1, 2001

    “In the early 1960s, America’s top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation NORTHWOODS, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba’s then new leader, communist Fidel Castro. America’s top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: “We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba,” and, “casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.” The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy’s defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. Ironically, the documents came to light, says Bamford, in part because of the 1992 Oliver Stone film JFK, which examined the possibility of a conspiracy behind the assassination of President Kennedy. “The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after,” says Bamford.”

    “We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington. The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking haven in the United States. Use of MIG-type aircraft by US pilots could provide additional provocation. An F-86 properly painted would convince air passengers that they saw a Cuban MIG, especially if the pilot of the transport were to announce that fact. Hijacking attampts against US civil air and surface craft should be encouraged. It is possible to create an incident which would demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civilian airliner from the United States. An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be subsituted for the actual civil aircraft and the passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rondevous. From the rondevous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly to an auxiliary airfield at Eglin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status. Meanwhile the drone aircraft will continue to fly the filed flight plan. The drone will be transmitting on the international distress frequency “MAY DAY” message stating it is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by the destruction of aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal. This will allow IACO radio stations to tell the US what has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to “sell” the incident.”
