On 9/11 Cheney ordered the stand down of the air defense missiles around the Pentagon

On 9/11 Cheney ordered the stand down of the air defense missiles
around the Pentagon and the Washington DC area

The jet that hit the Pentagon, United Airlines flight 77 was able to
penetrate that highly protected airspace without the proper MODE 4A
military I.F.F. response, (indentify friendly or foe – enemy aircraft)
and no communications with air traffic control of any kind, no
clearance issued of any kind, and yet UA 77 flew a nice leisurely 330
degree turn after passing right past the White House, the more
desirable high value target.

The Identification Friend or Foe system uses a special MODE 4A feature
that only military aircraft use, and requires special encryption.
Additionally, a mission specific MODEX aka SEDSCAF number for each
plane is assigned and if it must meet the PLAN OF THE DAY for the
area. The proper MODEX / SEDSCAF NUMBER is what enables an aircraft
then to penetrate prohibited or military restricted airspace such as
that which surrounds both the White House and the Pentagon, as well as
a number of military installations around the globe.
Without this IFF any aircraft would be shot down. No “if”s, no “and”s
and no “but”s!!!!

The Washington, D.C. area has Raytheon “Basic Point Defense” missile
battery armament embedded on several building rooftops, using Sea
Sparrow air defense missiles.

In any case, there was plenty of warning that an unknown and presumed
hostile target was inbound to the Washington, D.C. area from the area
around West Virginia to the east, and more than sufficient time
existed to scramble fighters and or light off the Basic Point Missile
Defense or BPDMS radar systems. There anti-aircraft missile defenses
have been installed in rooftops in the Washington, D.C. area since the
mid 1980’s. In all likelihood, there also is a version of the PAC-3
‘Patriot’ Missile system protecting Washington DC and the White House,
which UA 77 went breezing right past, and Secret Service agents on the
roof with shoulder fired STINGER MISSILES.

After the North Tower was hit, NORAD did not move with greater
dispatch. It took six minutes to alert Otis AFB who had armed and
fueled F-15s. And because they were told it was not an in-flight
emergency, these jets had to wait at least 12 minutes idled on the
runway waiting to get permission to take off. (BBC, 9/1/02)

Also NORAD did not order an emergency AFIO, Fighter Interceptor
Operation which would have taken control of the airspace from FAA to
NORAD so they could move commercial airplanes away from where the
F-15s needed to fly to intercept the hijacked UA175 that hit the south
tower. Then after the F-15s took off, they were sent to an area off
Long Island in a holding pattern without a target vector. (Touching
History by Lynn Spencer, pp. 111 to 113.

F-16s at Langley AFB Virginia had to sit on the runway because FAA in
Washington had not gotten the commercial air traffic out of their way
and then these jets were sent eastward, 60 miles out to sea more than
150 miles from Washington DC. (Touching History p. 143)

This ordering the jets out to sea was done by a mysterious source who
apparently didn’t occupy the high rung on the ladder. (Air War by
Filson, pp. 63 to 66) This was an “inexplicable, indefensible, and a
breach of standard procedures.”(War on Truth, by Nafeez Mosaddeq
Ahmed, p. 279)

There has been no thorough investigation of these delays, nor has
anyone at FAA or NORAD been held accountable, let alone disciplined
for them.

The 9/11 Commission manipulated the times of key events. They
highlighted the failings at the FAA while downplaying those of NORAD
and as noted above, allowed Pentagon officials to lie about NORAD
radars as being completely inadequate and therefore could not track
the aircraft heading for the White House and Pentagon. Gen. Richard
Myers said “we did not have situational awareness inward because we
did not have radar coverage.”

This was a lie. This is because radars cover a 360 degree circle.
They are not just pointed easterly at the Atlantic Ocean looking for
possible incoming Russian jet attacking the US. The government
maintains that the radar track for this aircraft was lost over a
“radar hole” that exists in the radar coverage map over W. VA., and
that as they neither had radio contact with the crew, nor a valid
Radar Beacon or IFF code sqwawk coming from the aircraft’s
transponders when the track was lost going west.

This was a lie because when and where the government claims the radar
track was lost, UA flight 77 was flying virtually directly over an
altitude finding military radar system known as FPS-117 that was on
top of a ridge. This radar has a nominal range of 200 miles. This
radar station was in operation on Sept. 11, 2001, and was not called
out in any documentary evidence as being out of commission or off-line
that morning, yet the government asserts that a “radar hole” existed
in it’s tracking or service volume area that morning.

Gen. Larry Arnold, head of NORAD claimed NORAD didn’t “ have any
aircraft on alert at Andrews (MSNBC, 11/23/01). This is false. The
Air National Guard at Andrews did have jets, but they answered
directly to the Secret Service, which Gen. Arnold knew about. The
9/11 Commission reported that Andrews AFB wasn’t keeping any fighters
“on alert.” (Commission report p. 44) The Commission report made no
mention of other NORAD units that offered to help and several NORAD
pilots telling their bosses at Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS)
that they wanted to ram the hijacked airliners, meaning sure death for
the pilot. “What can we do to help?... Give me ten minutes and I’ll
give you hot guns.”

Furthermore the 9/11 Commission report failed to mention that there
were already two fighter jets that were in the sky or on the runway
stationed at Pomona AFB near Atlantic City, and they were not notified
of the emergency. They were close enough to intercept UA 175 only
eight minutes away. These jets had bullets but were sent back to
their hangers for better armament (most likely air to air missiles).

At 8:36 am three F-16s assigned to the District of Columbia Air
National Guard, took off from Andrews AFB and headed to South to North
Carolina. At 9:04 am the Secret Service notified FAA headquarters
that it wanted “F-16 to cap (Combat Air Patrol) the airspace over
Washington” DC. This was when UA 77 was 200 miles for DC. Fifteen
minutes later flight 77 was just 50 miles from out. (Road to 9/11 by
P. D. Scott, p. 202).

At about 9:05 am Maj. Daniel Caine at Andrew AFB, called the Secret
Service offering assistance, but they said they didn’t need help.
This was after two jets had just hit the World Trade Center. It
wasn’t until 9:33 am that Secret Service changed their minds.

Cheney had stood down anti-aircraft defenses against this incoming
aircraft that hit the Pentagon and he delayed ordering General Wherley
authorization to get more jets into the skies over Washington. The
9/11 Commission went out of its way to exonerate the Cheney and Bush.
Immediately after the attacks, Cheney order Continuity of Government
and the United States moved to partial secret government, suspended
the Constitution that morning of 9/11. Cheney was giving orders from
Site R, “the underground Pentagon’ sending top officials out of
Washington to a remote underground bunker.

9/11, by Paul W. Rea, PhD pp. 260 to 270).

The Secret Service, which has been using an air surveillance system
called Tigerwall for some time after September 2000, and was tracking
both American 77 and United 93 as they approach Washington and assumes
the White House is a target. And according to Secret Service agent
Barbara Riggs, the agency is “able to receive real time information
about other hijacked aircraft,” through “monitoring radar and
activating an open line with the FAA.” [US DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY,
9/2000, PP. 28 ; PCCW NEWSLETTER, 3/2006; STAR-GAZETTE (ELMIRA),
6/5/2006]

Riggs will later say, “The Secret Service prepared to defend the
facility. [New York Times, 9/12/2001; MSNBC, 9/22/2001; Daily
Telegraph, 12/16/2001; Washington Post, 1/27/2002; Associated Press,

Secret Service’s Technical Services Division (TSD) operates the Secret
Service’s Tigerwall air surveillance system. The TSD timeline states
that at 9:18 am “SAIC (Secret Service Special Agent in Charge) Carl
Truscott learned that an aircraft had been identified en-route to the
Washington area.” Therefore, we have officially prepared documentation
that indicates Truscott was aware of a hijacked plane heading for
Washington at least 18 minutes before the official account says the
vice president was moved from his office.

The authoritative command system appeared to be below ground in the
PEOC (Presidential Emergency Operations Center) where Dick Cheney was
leading the activities. The TSD document released by FOIA shows that
when Assistant Division Chief Spriggs arrived in the PEOC, at 9:30 am,
Cheney and Rice were already there along with ten other “Presidential
and Vice Presidential staff.” Carl Truscott was the lead Secret
Service agent in the PEOC, the one who was in coordination with
Garabito, and the one who was most closely coordinating with Dick
Cheney.

These TSD documents confirm that the Secret Service knew that two
hijacked planes were headed toward Washington during the time that
Cheney and SAIC Truscott were in the PEOC, and well before Flight 77
was reported to have crashed into the Pentagon.

Author Lynn Spencer, who NORAD Commander General Ralph Eberhart says
“tells it all and tells it well,” wrote that “the Secret Service also
has certain authority over the military and, in this case, the DC
Guard.” That is, the Secret Service had the authority to order the
scrambling of interceptor jets on 9/11. And of course, with the
president indisposed for a brief period, the vice president was the
commander in chief of the military.

After traveling almost 10 miles south of Reagan Airport, the aircraft
turns back toward Washington and again appears to be heading for the
White House. Padgett tells the Secret Service: “What I’m telling you,
buddy, if you’ve got people, you’d better get them out of there! And I
mean right goddamned now!” [SPENCER, 2008, PP. 158]

Secret Service Director Brian Stafford informs counterterrorism “tsar”
Richard Clarke, (the National Security Council's counterterrorism
advisor), that radar shows an aircraft headed towards the White House
and decides to evacuate the complex. [Clarke, 2004, pp. 5]
(People will begin rapidly evacuating from the White House at about
9:45 a.m. [CNN, 9/11/2001; CNN, 9/12/2001]



The data released by the N.T.S.B. from UA 77 ’s Flight Data Recorder
(FDR) was faked.


It shows the aircraft making a 6 G. descending, 360 degree turn and
then accelerating 150 knots faster than a 757 could ever possibly fly
at that altitude. Also according to the FDR, the yoke and rudder were
not pushed during this maneuver. This is impossible.

The air is too dense at the altitude such that the 757 hit between the
first and second floors of the Pentagon. The FDR showed that the jet
was flying at 465 knots, but the jet’s engines could not push the
aircraft that fast in this denser air. At higher altitudes commercial
jets can fly much faster. The flight data recorder also shows jet
flying level. It is impossible to fly a 757 in level flight at over
350 knots without the nose going upward. The pilot would lose control
of the aircraft. Maybe if the plane was doing a full nose-down dive
toward the ground, over 350 knots could be achieved, but the wings
would likely break off before the jet hit the ground.

The FDR also show that when UA 77 descended from higher altitude down
below 18,000 feet and the alleged hijacker adjusted the altimeter for
the exact pressure for the Washington DC airports. This is
impossible because they did not use the radio to contract the airport
to get the correct air pressure. The alleged hijackers could not have
so precisely guessed the correct altimeter setting as was recording on
the FDR.

When the aircraft was allegedly hijacked, the airplane was flying on
auto-pilot. The slightest pressure by the pilots on the yoke or
rudder petals would have instantly disengage the auto-pilot, if we are
to believe the hijackers used force to rip control of the jet away
from the pilots. The FDR shows no indication of a struggle and only
shows the auto-pilot remained on the whole time the terrorist were
taking control of the airplane, turned off the transponders and failed
to reply to the air traffic controller - aka lost radio contact with
the jet.

The initial claim by the government as to why the FDR memory stopped
recording too high (380 feet above the ground), is that the recorder
failed six seconds before impact. This stopping of recording of data
is BS. The FDR is designed to keep recording at the very least, 500
milliseconds after building impact, partly due to the fact that the
FDR is located on the Boeing 757 aircraft in the tail of the plane.
Also 380 feet is too high to have hit the light poles on the approach
to the Pentagon.
More that does not add up about United Airlines flight 77.

The two, nearly 7 ton, RB-211, Rolls Royce engines on this plane were
an every so solidly predictable 48 feet apart, yet not holes in the
Pentagon outer wall were seen.

Post cleanup of the Pentagon / Department of Defense poured as much as
24 inches of gravel and aggregate in the approach area where the blow-
back from the impact with that wall was known to contain Depleted
Uranium contamination. How the D.U. got there is a big mystery.
A ‘spook’ U.S. Navy C-130 Hercules flew over the Pentagon and was seen
by witnesses directly over head. Later this pilot stated he never
got within 4 nautical miles. Why did he lie?

You don’t just jump into a C-130 and fire it up in a minute and
launch. Just the pre-flight would have taken several minutes to
perform. In other words, it had it’s orders long before it launched
that day. This was a specially equipped ‘spook’ bird, an intelligence
asset bird, and like the orbiting E-4B Air Force flying command post,
which was in the sky that morning as a part of an Air Force war game/
exercise, Amalgam VIRGO and other Air Force exercises before the jets
started crashing into buildings on 9/11.
