Indict George W. Bush

by Len Hart, The Existentialist Cowboy

American Airlines itself is the source for information that AA Flights 11 (North Tower) and 77 (Pentagon) did not fly on 911. These flights are critical to the government's crumbling cover up! Bush's 'official conspiracy theory' of 911 is, therefore, false! If either 'flight' had been mothballed on 9/11, then Bush's 'big lie' --the official conspiracy theory --is not merely false, it is a bald-faced lie!

Conan Doyle, the brilliant creator of the character Sherlock Holmes, said: "When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains however implausible must be the truth!" You can, therefore, eliminate Bush's official conspiracy theory of 911! It is not only impossible, it's absurd and insulting to intelligent people!

The Bush Conspiracy Theory is a Lie

If neither flight was in the air --as American Airlines itself has so stated --then numerous 'official versions' are but a pack of malicious, perhaps treasonous lies. There is, then, probable cause to indict Bush and his co-conspirators for the capital crimes of mass murder and high treason. See: U. S. Codes, Title 18, Section 2441. That includes every statement made by Bush.

WikiScanner discovered that American Airlines itself changed the Wikipedia entry to state that Flights 11 and 77 did not fly on 9/11. The original entry was as follows:
Two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked and crashed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack: American Airlines Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) and American Airlines Flight 11 (a Boeing 767).
New entry [as of the date of this article] is as follows and includes the bolded text below:
Two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked and crashed during the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack: Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) and Flight 11 (a Boeing 767).

Although these flights were daily departures before and a month after September 11, 2001. Neither flight 11 nor 77 were scheduled on September 11, 2001. The records kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (www.bts.gov/gis/) do not list either flight that day.
--Wikipedia
To make the point: the source for these changes is American Airlines by making changes to Wikipedia. The 'story' is not Wiki nor about Wiki. The story is about how AA 'corrected' a wiki entry to conform to records in official government sources: BTS and NTSB. The story is about the fact that evidence that Flights 11 and 77 were not flying on 911 comes from American Airlines itself.
According to a Freedom of Information Act reply from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the last known pre-9/11 flights for three of the four aircraft involved in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 took place in December, 2000, nine months before the attacks, while no pre-9/11 final flight information was provided for American Airlines flight 77 (N644AA).

However, a discovered searchable online BTS database produces the following search results for three of the four 9/11 aircraft on September 10, 2001:

AA 11 departs San Francisco (SFO): AA 09/10/2001 0198 (flight number) N334AA (tail number) BOS (destination) 22:04 (wheels-off time)

UA 175 departs San Francisco (SFO): UA 09/10/2001 0170 (flight number) N612UA (tail number) BOS (destination) 13:44 (wheels-off time)

UA 93 departs San Francisco (SFO): UA 09/10/2001 0078 (flight number) N591UA (tail number) EWR (destination) 23:15 (wheels-off time)
--911 Blogger, UPDATE: U.S. BTS FOIA Records For 9/11 Planes Differ From BTS Online Database [The records were obtained by Adrian Monaghan]
The question is raised: how do we know who made the changes to Wiki? Everyone logged on to the internet does so from an IP address. In this case, the IP address making the change is that of American Airlines. It's traceable. Secondly, the changes that, in fact, originated with AA are consistent with and/or confirm official data at Federal agencies: the BTS and the NTSB.

My own WHOIS lookup as well as a Google search of the IP address proves conclusively that it was --indeed --American Airlines that made the change. American Airlines, therefore, that has said that neither Flight 11 nor Flight 77 were in the air on 911.

Therefore, the Bush theory of 911 is a deliberate lie.

One of Many Fatal Holes in the Bush Official Conspiracy Theory 

The many lies (referenced in previous EC articles; see links below) are probable cause to begin a Federal Grand Jury investigation of George W. Bush's role in 911. Bush should be compelled by subpoena and Federal Marshals to testify under oath before an independent Federal Grand Jury. The AA revelations demand it!

Bush lies have covered up the truth, protected the guilty and obstructed justice. The lies insult the families of 911 victims, victims who are dishonored by the continuing cover-up! Bush/U.S. lies aggravate the crimes of mass murder, terrorism and high treason for which the penalty is death. Our Government lied to us about 911!

Bushco's 'official conspiracy theory' of 911 is full of holes. Flights 11 and 77 are its essential ingredients. That AA claims that neither 11 nor 77 [information consistent with BTS records] were in the air that day sinks Bush's theory. More importantly, however, it should have gotten Bush and much of his administration invitations to appear before a Federal Grand Jury to answers charges that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice et al betrayed the nation and waged a treasonous, murderous war upon the people.

Clearly --the official theory is an intentional cover-up. Cover-ups imply guilt! Otherwise --what is there to cover up? Innocent people have nothing to cover up! An innocent person is an idiot if he/she should destroy evidence that might prove innocence. Therefore, only the guilty are motivated to lie about a crime; only the guilty are motivated to destroy evidence germane to an investigation or, in any way, obstruct good-faith efforts to get at the truth.

The official 'lie' goes like this:
At 8:20, Flight 11 stopped transmitting its transponder signal, and veered northward and departed dramatically from the westward heading of its planned route. The controllers concluded that the plane had probably been hijacked. 4 5 At 8:24, the following transmission was reportedly received from Flight 11: We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you'll be okay .. we are returning to the airport.
..Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet. Nobody move please we are going back to the airport .. don't try to make any stupid moves.
6 Neither of the pilots pressed the distress call button. At 8:28 controllers reportedly watched the plane make a 100-degree turn toward the south. 7 Presumably, Flight 11 continued south along the Hudson River until it reached the World Trade Center, though documentation of this is sparse given the lack of public information.
According to NORAD's September 18 timeline, the FAA did not notify NORAD of the signs that Flight 11 was hijacked until 8:40, 25 minutes after the first signs of trouble.
-Flight 11, The First Jet Commandeered on September 11th, 911 Research
The house of cards collapses.

If AA Flight 11 was not in the air, it could not have struck the towers; ergo: the Bush theory is false!


Assertions that Flight 11 struck the North Tower are --therefore -- utterly baseless! If neither Flight 11 nor 77 was in the air that day, the Bush administration's version of events must be discarded.

If flights 11 or 77 did not fly on 911, officialdom must come up with another explanation to explain the events of 911.

If flights 11 or 77 did not crash into either the tower or the Pentagon, then the official theory must be trashed!

In fact, none of the said flights can be placed at the scene of the crime. That fact is consistent with the fact that no wreckage traceable to a 757 was ever found at the Pentagon. One would not expect to find wreckage of flights never flown.

The burden of proof is upon Bushco to prove its theory --or shut up and face charges resulting from the probable cause the Bush himself and high ranking members of his administration participated in the crimes of mass murder and high treason --capital crimes for which the guilty may be executed as prescribed by law.
Photos of an engine rotor appear to depict an engine used in the Global Hawk, a payload carrying missile that was, according to Britain's International Television News, flown from the US to Australia completely by remote control. "A robot plane has made aviation history by becoming the first unmanned aircraft to fly across the Pacific Ocean."


Britain's ITN continued:
"The Global Hawk, a jet-powered aircraft with a wingspan equivalent to a Boeing 737, flew from Edwards Air Force Base in California and landed late on Monday at the Royal Australian Air Force base at Edinburgh, in South Australia state... It flies along a pre-programmed flight path, but a pilot monitors the aircraft during its flight via a sensor suite which provides infra-red and visual images."
ITN quoted Australian Global Hawk manager Rod Smith: "The aircraft essentially flies itself, right from takeoff, right through to landing, and even taxiing off the runway."

'The Missile that Struck this Building' --Donald Rumsfeld

The Global Hawk is a much better candidate for what Rumsfeld called '...the missile that struck this building' than is a 757. Here's what you need to know about the Pentagon.
  • Only minutes after the strike, [see pic above] there is no sign of an airliner at all!!
  • No wreckage traceable to a 757 was ever recovered.
  • Only ONE engine rotor (turbo fan) was recovered! This rotor is about one third the diameter of a 757 rotor.
  • A 757 has two turbo fans, each of which are nearly three times the size of the SINGLE fan found at the Pentagon. Again --only one turbo fan was found in Pentagon debris.
  • Engine rotors are made of a Steel/Titanium alloy to withstand high temps inside jet engines and would have been found had they been there.
  • Flight 77 could not have crashed into the Pentagon and did not.
No Arabs Were on Board 77

There is not only no evidence to support the theory that Arab terrorists hijacked 77, there is every reason to believe that none ever got on board. There are no Arabs on the only Pentagon 'evidence' that is admissible in court: the 'Official Autopsy Report' of Pentagon victims. If no Arabs were on board Flight 77, Bush's theory must be trashed!

Not only Arabs are unaccounted for. There are no passengers listed on the only admissible evidence to have survived the Bush cover-up --the Official Autopsy Report. The Pentagon autopsy report was released to Dr. Olmsted in response to his FOIA request. In a 'neat' cover-up, a 911 memorial lists all Pentagon victims of whatever it was that crashed into the Pentagon. At the same time, Pentagon victims were said to have been buried at Arlington National Cemetery. But --where, then, are the passengers buried?  I will be incredibly surprised to learn that there were passengers on a flight that cannot be proven to have existed.

I am often asked (sometimes disingenuously): what about all the people that lost family members that day? That any question re: passengers remain is simply the nail in the coffin of the Bush 'official conspiracy theory of 911!" People who raise this issue must understand that it is the very purpose of any theory --scientific or forensic --to EXPLAIN every contingency. If there are doubts that passengers even existed, the Bush must convincingly revise his theory or give himself up and submit to a grand jury indictment upon the probable cause that he was complicit in the crimes of mass murder and high treason!

Whatever crashed into the Pentagon was described by a witness as looking like a 'hump-backed whale'. Rumsfeld himself called it a missile: Below: a US Global Hawk painted to look like an AA airliner. It is both a 'missile' and it also has a hump!

The photo below does not purport to be the craft that would ultimately crash into the Pentagon. It merely demonstrates how easily such a 'paint job' could dupe those who are 1) not experts on aircraft 2) saw it only for a second or less as it scooted across the Pentagon lawn as NO 757 could possibly have done 3) were, in any case, caught off guard.


Recognizing lies for what they are is a part of the process of growing up! America, it is time to grow up! It is time to confront this heinous pack of lies! It is time to insist that the Obama administration begin a REAL investigation of 911.

It is time to insist that a Federal Grand Jury investigate every count of high treason, mass murder and domestic terrorism that was perpetrated upon the people of the US by the Bush administration, his collaborators in the Pentagon, K-Street, the Congress and the leadership of the Republican party, Marvin Bush's 'Securacom', Larry Silverstein who ordered WTC 7 be 'pulled', General Myers, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and, of course, George W. Bush who was, at the time, the 'Commander-in-Chief' and ultimately responsible for the orders given the US military to 'stand down'.
By Donald Rumsfeld's own admission, he was unaware of any threats to the Pentagon -- the building where he was located during the September 11th attacks -- until an aircraft crashed into the side of it, and he ran out "into the smoke" to see if it might be a "A bomb? I had no idea." (ABC News This Week, Interview 9/16/01).
Well, that's a pretty tall tale by any standard. The New York Times reported that by 8:13am, the FAA was aware of the first hijacking out of Boston. The Pentagon explosion, which Donald Rumsfeld claimed he had "no idea," did not occur until approximately 9:37am, nearly an hour and a half later, this after two of the tallest buildings in the world were devastated. Note that a plane hijacked out of Boston can reach Washington D.C. as easily as it can reach New York City.
It was widely reported that Pentagon personnel were indeed aware of the threats to their security, and they took security measures on that morning. But not the "Secretary of Defense." Why should the man charged with defending the United States of America concern himself with hijacked aircraft?
There is a set of procedures for responding to hijackings. In particular, these procedures were changed on June 1, 2001 while Rumsfeld was in power as our Secretary of Defense, in a document called: "CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF INSTRUCTION, J-3 CJCSI 3610.01A"
It is often asked: "Was 911 a Conspiracy?" Even Bushco claims that it was a conspiracy, a conspiracy of 19 Arab Hijackers who could not possibly have pulled it off. That is NOT the question.  It is, frankly, an 'outrageous conspiracy theory', a stupid scenario, an uninspired ripoff of the story of 'Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves'! Without the shock and awe campaign, no one would have believed it. The questions, rather, are which conspiracy and who were the conspirators?

ADDENDUM:

Those who dare to 'pull off' crimes of this magnitude consistently, inevitable attempt to shift the burden of proof. If you allege a 'conspiracy', you are expected to prove it. If you point an accusing finger, you are challenged to back up your allegations. If you specifically 'target' Bush and company, you're patriotism is called into question.
Evidence about the September 11th attacks can be divided into three categories: destroyed, missing, and surviving. The missing category includes officially secret information, since the existence of secret evidence and what it indicates cannot be verified.
A great deal of the evidence about the crimes of September 11th has either been destroyed or is unaccounted for. Indeed the event was and continues to be used to justify a campaign of secrecy never before seen in the United States, virtually eliminating public accountability of the very agencies who were entrusted to handle the evidence.
A review of the evidence shows a strong pattern of destruction or suppression of evidence, and the blocking of effective investigations, by the authorities. This is evident whether one looks at the flights, the World Trade Center, or the Pentagon.
There has been a spate of fallacious comments of the form: "...uh...what happened the passengers, dude?" A few points:
  1. That is, in fact, an implied statement that assumes that there were flights! In a court, it would be said that the statement 'assumes facts NOT in evidence'!
  2. absence of evidence is not evidence in support of anything, let alone Bush's idiotic, fallacious and pernicious lie! ! The 'absence of bodies' is not evidence of a crash of any sort; only the presence of bodies traceable to the alleged flights are evidence supporting Bush's unsupportable theory,
  3. at last, it's Bush's theory; it's up to Bush to explain it! "Those who assert must prove!" 
  4. The only available evidence, moreover, disproves the Bushco conspiracy theory of 911. There is no evidence whatsoever that there were --at any time --any Arabs of any sort (terrorist or otherwise) on board Flight 77, a flight for which there is no evidence that it existed.
The AFIP suggests these numbers; 189 killed, 125 worked at the Pentagon and 64 were "passengers" on the plane. The AA list only had 56 and the list just obtained has 58. They did not explain how they were able to tell "victims" bodies from "hijacker" bodies. In fact, from the beginning NO explanation has been given for the extra five suggested in news reports except that the FBI showed us the pictures to make up the difference, and that makes it so.
Now, being the trusting sort, I figured that the government would want to quickly dispel any rumors so we could get on with the chore of kicking Osama/Sadaam's butt (weren't these originally two different people?). It seemed simple to me. . .produce the names of all the bodies identified by the AFIP and compare it with the publicized list of passengers. So, I sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the AFIP and asked for an expedited response, because we were getting ready to send our boys to war on the pretext that Osama/Saddam had done the deed. Fourteen months later, a few US soldiers dead, many Iraqi civilians pushing up daisies, and I finally get the list. Believe me that they weren't a bit happy to give it up, and I really have no idea why they choose now to release it. foia-10003.jpg 
No Arabs wound up on the morgue slab; however, three ADDITIONAL people not listed by American Airlines sneaked in. I have seen no explanation for these extras. I [did] give American the opportunity to "revise" their original list, but they have not responded. The new names are: Robert Ploger, Zandra Ploger, and Sandra Teague. The AFIP claims that the only "passenger" body that they were not able to identify is the toddler, Dana Falkenberg, whose parents and young sister are on the list of those identified. The satanic masterminds behind this caper may be feeling pretty smug about the perfect crime, but they have left a raft of clues tying these unfortunates together.
--Thomas R. Olmsted, M.D., Autopsy: No Arabs on Flight 77
Worth repeating and in summary: the last known pre-9/11 flights for three of the four aircraft involved in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 took place in December, 2000, nine months before the attacks.

Unaccounted for passengers and missing 'Arabs' are among the biggest holes in Bush's cover story

I was asked:
Im confused, what about all the people that lost family members that day? Are you saying that everyone claiming to have a relative on those planes is complicit?
Anyone asking that question
  1. is not paying attention;
  2. has never heard of the 'burden of proof'
The fact of the matter is this: the question is irrelevant  unless and until someone puts forward the evidence that there --indeed --passengers on a Flight for which there is simply no evidence that it was ever flown. Those who put forward theories as did Bush did, then those advancing or advocating those theories must prove them, just as a prosecutor is expected to prove his case in court. If Bush and/or his 'theory' cannot explain the absence of airliner wreckage or 'missing passengers', then his official theory must be discounted, consider to be utter bunkum, a pack of malicious lies. Unlike wine, neither lies nor propaganda improves with age. Indeed --where are the passengers? Where were they on 911 when it is alleged that they were on flights that are totally and completely unaccounted for?! Where is the wreckage? Where are the turbofans traceable to a 757?

Anyone believing that there were such flights AND that there were passengers on board should insist that a Federal Prosecutor put Bush on the witness stand in front of a federal grand jury where the question is put to him: "What was the fate of the passengers on flights 77 and 11?" But --first --Bush would have to prove that the flight existed; secondly, he would have to explain why there exists no evidence whatsoever that there were passengers. I daresay that it is impossible to put non-existent passengers on non-existent aircraft. Bottom line: there were no passengers listed on the ONLY official, admissible evidence to survive the cover-up and that is the official autopsy report released to Dr. Olmsted. If there is no evidence that there were passengers and --additionally --if there if no wreckage or other evidence that an airliner struck the Pentagon, the Bush was and remains a damned liar!  If he should tell the truth, put him in the slammer. If he should LIE, put him in the slammer!

It would be very interesting to learn how he might manage to escape his experience without indictments for perjury and obstruction of justice. Other charges might include:



  • MASS MURDER
  • HIGH TREASON


  • Concerning possible charges of 'high treason' against Bush: was it not Bush who declared that we were at war? Was it not Bush and shills who insisted that the US attack, invasion and occupation of Iraq was in response to an 'attack' upon the US? Have not Bush partisans insisted, from the 'gitgo', that the US attack, invasion and occupation of Iraq was part and parcel of the US 'war on terrorism'? That being the case, Bush's complicity in the events of 911 are most certainly acts of betrayal against a sovereign in a time of war! That is the very definition of high treason!

    Among a growing number of links back to this article is this excellent expose of the Flight 77 fraud:
    According to the official story, AA Flight 77, a Boeing 757, took off from Dulles Airport in northern Virginia at 8:10 a.m. bound for Los Angeles, with between 50 and 58 passengers. It flew west for about 45 minutes, making a curious detour to the north, west and south, before turning around and flying for another 45 minutes back to Washington. Why hijackers would allow a jet which they planned to crash into a target in Washington to fly for 45 minutes away from its target is not explained. Why did they not commandeer the plane ten minutes after takeoff when the plane was only ten minutes flying time from its intended target? The official story ignores this question, as it does all other questions.

    As reported by the New York Times (International Herald Tribune, 2001-10-17, p.8), as AA 77 approached the Pentagon it executed a 270-degree 7,000-foot descent over Washington while flying at 500 mph. It approached the Pentagon on a horizontal trajectory so low that it clipped the power lines across the street then (so the story goes) it smashed into an outer wall of the Pentagon.

    We were told (and, of course, expected to believe without question) that this maneuver was executed by an Arab pilot, Hani Hanjour, who in August 2001 was judged by the chief flight instructor at Bowie's Maryland Freeway Airport as not having the piloting skills required to fly a Cessna 172 solo. (Is there something fishy here?)

    In contrast to the attention given to the collapse of the Twin Towers, the attack on the Pentagon received little attention until in February 2002 a French website (by Thierry Meyssan) appeared which reproduced images obtained from U.S. Army websites: Hunt the Boeing! These images cast doubt upon the official story that the Pentagon was hit by a Boeing 757 jetliner. For example, here is a picture of the Pentagon crash site taken about two hours after the impact, with the fire still burning. Can you see any remains of the approximately 100 tons of metal (including engines, wings, and tail section) which makes up a Boeing 757? ...

    Yes, I agree 911 was an inside job.

    I wouldn't put too much faith in even a highly Democratic Congress looking into the matter. I seem to recall that Representative Cynthia McKinney (D) was primaried and lost her party support on account of her 911 truth stance.

    Aren't there still a number of Kennedy assassination files still sealed? You can't get justice from the Empire in regard to the Empire's crimes, no sir.

    I have highly intelligent friends I can't even talk to about this matter. I do wish I understood why some of us can see through the propaganda while most of us remain utterly oblivious. It'd be an interesting topic for a psychology thesis.

    I am quite sure that many inside Bush's crooked administration understood that many would not be fooled. But that only plays into their hands by dividing Bush's opposition. Until Bush is arrested and put on trial, it would appear that everything has gone according to plan DESPITE the fact that the actual execution was sloppy, even amateurish.

(Is there something fishy here?)"

    There certainly is, Len. Mark Gaffney has written an excellent article on Hani Hanjour's lack of piloting skills:

    "It turns out that just three days after Hani Hanjour failed a flight evaluation in a Cessna 172 at Freeway airport he showed up at Congressional Air Charter, located down the road at Gaithersburg airport, also in the Washington suburbs. Once again Hanjour attempted to rent a plane, and again he was asked to go up with an instructor for a flight evaluation to confirm his flight skills. The plane was the same: a Cessna 172. Yet, on this occasion Hanjour passed with flying colors and, later, this other instructor gave testimony to the 9/11 Commission that turned out to be crucial. The final report mentions the instructor’s name only once in a brief endnote buried at the back of the report."

    The instructor's name was Eddie Shalev, the only one of about ten instructing pilots who was prepared to give Hanjour a passing grade and the only one the 911 Commission could rely on to vouch for him. His FBI file says:

    "Mr. Shalev served in the Israeli Defense Forces in a paratroop regiment. He was a jumpmaster on a Boeing C-130. Mr. Shalev moved to the Gaithersburg area in April 2001 and was sponsored for employment by Congressional Air Charters...[which] has subsequently gone out of business."

    Congressional Air Charters was owned by Monty Lilley who has an interesting bio:

    Damien,

    Thanks for the post and let me say it is good to see you still 'in the saddle' fighting the good fight for the truth!

    I am a bit ill at the moment but will give this a proper response as it deserves a bit later.

    Again --thanks, mon ami.

    Necessary nitpick: The IP address does not show the change was made "by American Airlines." At most it would show that some individual at the company with access to a computer did - and even that is assuming the IP address was neither hacked nor spoofed.

    Damien said...

    Sorry to hear you are unwell, Len. Come back soon, mate. We need you.

    On the Eddie Shalev thing, it's not all black and white, but the oddities mount up. For instance, it was widely believed that Shalev had left the US and returned to Israel but it turns out that in 2007 he lodged a legal action of some sort in Maryland with Meryl A. Kessler against -- would you believe it - Alberto Gonzales, Michael Chertoff, and the Office of General Counsel. I have no idea what that's all about.

    This from John A :

    Equally interesting is Shavel's co-plaintiff - Meryl A. Kessler, co-author of the book: Third World Security in the Post-Cold War Era. She is a Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 1988-1990 Harvard University. She appears also to have written extensively about the USSR.

    Question: If Shavel is just some hapless flight instructor in Maryland - what is he doing hooking up with Kessler in a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security?

    i am having a hard time marrying these two together. an unlucky random flight instructor who certified a 9/11 terrorist - and a heavyweight political analyst?


    Kessler has written extensively with Thomas G. Weiss on post-Soviet economics with titles like "Resurrecting peacekeeping: the superpowers and conflict management", arguing the case for Western intervention into "failed states."

    What is clear is that Hani Hanjour could not fly a Cessna let alone a 757, Eddie Shalev said he could when all his other teachers said no, and the 911 Commission relied entirely on his testimony.

    Best wishes, Len.

    The IP address does not show the change was made "by American Airlines."

    Re-read it! It was NOT merely someone at AA, it someone at AA who corrected the entry to CONFORM to the OFFICIAL BTS (Bureau of Trasnportation Statistics, a Federal Agency): "Although these flights were daily departures before and a month after September 11, 2001. Neither flight 11 nor 77 were scheduled on September 11, 2001. The records kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (www.bts.gov/gis/) do not list either flight that day."

    Sure -it may have been a 'whistle blower' who wanted to set the record straight. In any case, the change that was made must be considered in context, i.e, it is consistent with the fact that NO WRECKAGE TRACEABLE to ANY 757 was recovered at the Pentagon. To me --the IP address, therefore, confirms everything else in the article. The IP address is traceable. The change came from AA. An IP address serves two functions: host or network interface IDENTFICATION and LOCATION addressing.

    The role of an IP address been stated thusly: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there."

    And --in this case ---'there' is AA.

    Thanks for posting that. That is an area about which I have written very little, if anything at all.

    Indeed! Hani Hanjour is a huge hole in the official story about which I continue to make the point that the burden of proof is upon Bushco and the faithful.

    FAITHFUL indeed! One needs infinite FAITH to believe this crock of shit! At the same time, we must educate those 'left behind' (in Texas, primarily) who have never heard of the Burden of Proof. BUSH MUST PROVE HIS THEORY ---or give himself up to authorities. If he is not prosecutable for MASS MURDER and HIGH TREASON, in fact, SEDITIOUS TREASON re: U.S. Codes, Title 18, Section 2441, he should be prosecuted for various counts of FELONY DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE and OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!

    PROSECUTE GEORGE W. BUSH, Dick Cheney, Don Rumself, Condo, et al for numerous crimes in connection with a mass murder/high treason called 911!
