It has become a cliché over the years, one that is still frequently heard. “Where were you when you heard that President Kennedy had been shot?” As time goes on, the answer will more often be along the lines that the interviewee was too young to remember, or that they were not even born yet.

A far more recent variation of the question, one that may usurp the commonality of the Kennedy enquiry, is “Where were you when you heard that the Towers had been hit?”

I certainly remember, as if it was just last week. I was having a coffee in the staff restaurant at my place of work. One of my co-workers (lovely guy, but not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, along with a predilection for idle gossip) came in and announced that a bomb had gone off at the Trade Center.

After the attempt several years earlier, in 1993, I assumed it was another vehicle device, or one concealed in a bag. It was only when I gained access to a television that the full scale of the attack became clear, and the reality hit home.

It was a day that would change people’s attitudes, and government policies, for years, perhaps even decades, to come. This was not a grudge attack against a single entity. Rather, it was an offensive on America itself and indeed, against the free world.

Today marks Rosh Hashanah, known to many as the Jewish New Year. Traditionally, it marks a time of reflection. Perhaps, on this day, two days before the ninth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, we should all cast our minds back to that fateful day and remember. Remember the 3,000 souls who lost their lives, the many more thousands stricken with grief by the loss of their loved ones and lastly, but by no means least, the bravery and sacrifice of the rescue services.

We all have our own memories from 9-11, but one that is instilled in my mind is that of the spirit of Americans as they came to terms with, perhaps, their darkest hour. There was a defiance shown to an aggressor, that had probably not been seen on such a scale since World War Two, that united the entire country.

Going forward, we must remain vigilant. Those forces of evil are still out there, some closer to home than others. There are those that would destroy America, freedom and the Constitution that guides us. On this Rosh Hashanah…. remember.

Cheney, the SS and NORAD did 911.

Explain TWO E-4B's over DC at 9:37.

(EPA) Administrator Christine Todd Whitman declared “I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington DC that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink” and that we “. . . need not be concerned about environmental issues as [we return to [our] homes and workplaces”.

Yet to this day, at least 900 first responders have since died as a result of the effects of toxic “dust” from the buildings and the some 3,000 human remains that enveloped lower Manhattan and which Mayor Rudolph Giuliani declared “We must clear the rubble”. This “rubble” in fact constituted evidence from a massive crime scene, but was hauled away, first to Long Island, and then was eventually placed on barges and shipped to China.

The SS was in charge of DC and NYC Air Space on 911.

While bush43 reads the Pet Goat upside down.

Treason at the Highest Levels.

The aircraft is the E-4B Doomsday Plane.

It was seen near WTC 2 just prior to and during the impact of "Flight 175"

It was seen near the Pentagon.

It was seen over the Whitehouse.

E-4B, SS Special agent Craig Miller, and WTC 7. See any muslims here?

Why Did the World’s Most Advanced Electronics Warfare Plane Circle Over The White House on 9/11?

By Mark H. Gaffney

On September 11 2001, as the eyes of the nation were focused on the gruesome events at the World Trade Center, the networks interrupted their television coverage in New York with a breaking story from Washington. A large plane had just been sighted over the White House.

QUOTE (pinnacle @ Dec 20 2006, 02:33 PM) The White Plane leaves, then Flight 77 hits at 9:38 am,

"Flight 77" is never positively identified either on radar, FDR, eyewitnesses or parts that it impacted the pentagon. So im not sure why people keep saying "Flight 77 impacted the pentagon".

Just keep thinkin about how many jesus lovers have kept this WH CT alive. 8D

I am not an expert on the "missile" theory so I just use the official version of "flight 77", whatever it actually was, hitting the Pentagon. The thing that interests me are the bizarre manuvers of the white plane all over the scene of the crime for an extended period of time that has escaped most investigators entirely despite a great deal of evidence and witnesses. For all we know this plane could have been in New York during the WTC strike and flown to Washington in about a half hour at full speed of 600 mph. It apparently approached along the same southern route as the "phantom flight 11" which triggered the Langley fighter scramble.

This was before pinnacle sound out there were TWO E-4B's:

One in NYC with Flt 175. Then it took either the Bobcat 14 or 17 call sign. Then Word 31.

Also the F-16 pilots heard a radio call at 9:33 warning "all aircraft" to stay 30 miles from Washington or be shot down. Nobody has identified who made that call. Could it have been made by the "white plane" itself? They had enough radio gear to run a nuclear war from the air.

A 77-year-old World War II veteran and retired Dodge dealer, he's certainly no conspiracy theorist.

And, when you ask Stuhl for his theory of what caused the jetliner to crash that morning, he will give you the prevailing theory - that a cockpit battle between the hijackers and burly, heroic passengers somehow caused the Boeing 757 to spiral out of control. "There's no doubt in my mind that they did put it down before it got to Washington and caused more damage," he said.

But press the mayor for details, and he will add something surprising.

"I know of two people - I will not mention names - that heard a missile," Stuhl said. "They both live very close, within a couple of hundred yards. . .This one fellow's served in Vietnam and he says he's heard them, and he heard one that day." The mayor adds that based on what he knows about that morning, military F-16 fighter jets were "very, very close."

Yeah...WTH was THAT about??

But SOMEHOW it wasn't about a diary notation about dwarf catching rays on the roof of WTC II and sipping a Daiquiri Sour, and reading GQ. Fred will be soooo disappointed.

Somehow dwarf got distracted (probably imagining some Kenboy winking at his flaccid lycra / spandex girdled porkbarrel body)and did not provide some wistfull recollection of back alley trysts amidst billowing condom wrappers....

Your above spontaneous "tryst" scenario was preceded earlier in the day after a chopper hovered over his beach chair at 9:25AM, interrupting his yellow Spandex banana-hammock tanning session by dramatically plucking him out of his chaise lounge and dropped him off uptown.

He was a very lucky man indeed that day.

'Yep' to both. dwarf's bullshit on this topic got him banned from one site that I know of when he claimed he was 'on the scene' when he wasn't, and they knew it due to being the administrators of the site.

Thats what you are dealing with in regards to him.
