Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2001 From: Michel Chossudovsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Military Strike to Jump-Start Confidence in the Stock Market? "War is Good for Business" by Michel Chossudovsky Does President Bush intend to jump-start confidence in the stock-market by launching a "timely" military strike? "I have great faith in the resiliency of the economy. And no question about it this incident affected our economy., But the markets open tomorrow, people go back to work. We'll show the world." (Remarks by George W. Bush, Reuters, 16th September 2001) On the other hand, what will be the fate America's social programs in a war economy? Five days before the terrorist assaults on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, President Bush stated almost prophetically: "I have repeatedly said the only time to use Social Security money is in times of war, times of recession, or times of severe emergency. And I mean that. I mean that." (Transcript of Remarks by Presidents Bush and Fox on Departure to Toledo, Ohio (U.S. Newswire, Inc, September 6, 2001) "I mean that, I mean that." The tone of the president's rhetoric has set the stage for an expansion of America's war machine. The "recession" and "war" buzzwords are being used to mould US public opinion into accepting a massive redirection of the nation's resources towards the military industrial complex. In turn, in the wake of the terrorist attacks "love of country", "allegiance" and "patriotism" increasingly pervade the media as well day-to-day political discourse. The hidden agenda is to create a new legitimacy, opening the door for a "revitalization of the nation's defense" while also providing a justification for direct military actions by the US in different parts of the World. Meanwhile, the shift from civilian into military production pours wealth into the hands of defense contractors at the expense of civilian needs. Job Creation in America's War Machine And behind the Bush Administration is the power of the "big five" defense contractors (Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon et al), increasingly in partnership with the oil-energy giants, which are behind many of the regional wars and insurgencies along strategic oil pipelines. CLIP The production of advanced weapons systems in America today, is unlikely to resolve the mounting tide of unemployment. This new direction of the US economy will generate hundreds of billions of dollars of surplus profits, which will line the pockets of a handful of large corporations. While contributing very marginally to the rehabilitation of the employment of specialised scientific, technical and professional workers laid-off by the civilian economy, this profit bonanza will also be used by the US corporate establishment to finance --in the form of so-called "foreign investment"-- the expansion of the American Empire in different parts of the World.

From: Chidakash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: When the impossible becomes reality--a 4th possibility Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2001 Dear friends: While we have been totally overwhelmed with emotion, and encouraged to channel our outrage into concern for stock markets and getting back to business, and into ongoing proclamations of love of country, and loyalty to the flag and the President there is one question that causes the most distress in people's minds: "How could those planes have made it unchallenged to their final destinations?" Most of us can consider only 3 possibilities: 1. The terrorists were incredibly clever 2. The US intelligence agencies were uncharacteristically lax 3. National security, warning and defense procedures were insufficient, procedures which have been fine tuned for decades. But there is another possibility... Unless we start asking the questions NOW the steps being taken by others while we have been distracted by grief will be irreversible. Asking the questions--and getting the answers-- may still make peace and justice a possible outcome. When the impossible becomes reality the unthinkable becomes reasonable. Consider the following two articles: An Advance Warning of Attacks Was Ignored The CIA knew via Echelon at least 3 months in advance that we were going to be attacked by planes used as weapons: Echelon Warned US & Israeli Intel Hijacked Planes Were To Be Weapons By Ned Stafford BizReport.com 9-14-1 http://rense.com/general13/ech.htm U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies received warning signals at least three months ago that Middle Eastern terrorists were planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli culture, according to a story in Germany's daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). The FAZ, quoting unnamed German intelligence sources, said that the Echelon spy network was being used to collect information about the terrorist threats, and that U.K. intelligence services apparently also had advance warning. The FAZ, one of Germany's most respected dailies, said that even as far back as six months ago western and near-east press services were receiving information that such attacks were being planned. Within the American intelligence community, the warnings were taken seriously and surveillance intensified, the FAZ said. However, there was disagreement on how such terrorist attacks could be prevented, the newspaper said. Echelon is said to be a vast information collection system capable of monitoring all the electronic communications in the world. It is thought to be operated by the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. No government agency has ever confirmed or denied its existence. However, an EU committee that investigated Echelon for more than a year just last week reported its belief that the system does exist. The EU committee said that Echelon sucks up electronic transmissions "like a vacuum cleaner," using keyword search techniques to sift through enormous amounts of data. The FAZ, in its news story, described the system as covering the whole world with 120 satellites. The newspaper also said Israeli intelligence had collected information indicated that Arab terrorist groups planned to hijack planes in Europe to use as weapons to attack targets in Tel Aviv and other coastal cities in Israel. Because of increasing concerns of plane hijackings, Israel has tested a new x-ray machine at the Tel Aviv airport, the FAZ said. The machine capable of detecting all known explosive elements, even if only in small quantities, the newspaper said. The FAZ said that German intelligence fears that in coming days planes will be hijacked in Europe and the Near East, and that there is no sure way to protect against it. Critical Questions [This arrived as an email, supposedly from DP, an American military person. Judge for yourself:] Why Were So Few People on the Flights? 1) Flight 11 was a Boeing 757/200. This plane holds 239 passengers. There were 81 passengers and 11 crew. The 11 crew members included 2 pilots and 9 flight attendants. Is it normal that this flight would not be at capacity, based on other Flight 11's that leave Boston to LA, at the same time every day. Flights within the Airline industry operate on standardized schedule. They don't make the schedules after the passengers book the flights. The only days that they schedule deviate are Saturdays and Sundays and holidays. So, is it customary that this flight is so underbooked? (About 30% capacity) I flew out west from Florida about three months ago, and every flight I got on was either full or overbooked. 2) Same question of all the flights. 175 had 54 passengers. The pentagon plane (77) had 56 passengers, and the PA flight 38. All less than 25% of capacity. Why? I don't have access to the files of AA or United, but some reporter should be able to find out this information. [Fewer people, easier to control the situation. And the less likely that something could go wrong, maybe? I'm just speculating, of course. I don't know, and I don't have access to AA or United archives and files.] The Air Force Could Have Averted the Tragedy But Didn't. 3) Four planes at once with no transponder info on the FAA screens and Air Force screens. All of them just showing up as blips on radar. One plane is in a "NO FLY ZONE";.. within constantly monitored, restricted airspace. A pilot has already remarked that when a plane deviates just a little, that the FAA oversight will call and/or allow for course corrections. But, we are talking about planes that were miles off course. In these instances, the FAA reports it to the Air Force. But also, in these instances, the Air Force has already locked onto these planes, because they monitor the commercial system as well as their own. That's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. They have to, so that we don't have military and commercial aircraft flying into one another, constantly. In a circumstance like Flight 11, this plane is so far of course it is ridiculous and they are not responding normally to communications. They did a hard bank (90 degrees to the south) somewhere north of Albany, NY. The Air Force is to scramble at least a recon aircraft to monitor. Why no recon, on any of the first three flights? Let's look at the second plane. It was 18 minutes until it hit the second building. This plane flew over NYC, past the city and went to somewhere around Newark, NJ. At that point it did a 360 degree bank to fly back to NYC. By this time "they" know that this is no accident happening. They know that they have hijacked planes in the air. An F-15 strike eagle flies at 1850+ nmps. That is Mach 2.5+ A sidewinder with heat seeking infrared guidance, has a range of 18 miles. This aircraft, according to the USAF's own website, goes from "scramble order" to 29000 feet in 2.5 minutes. New York City is 71 miles from McGuire AFB in NJ and 147 from Westover AFB in MA. At Mach 2, this plane could travel from the ground in NJ to NYC, in under 7 minutes. I am being generous. Mach 2 is 20+ miles per minute and Mach 2.5 is 30+ miles per minute. This is 150 to 210 seconds to cover the 71 miles. If we factor in the time for the scramble order, to being in the air; we are at 5 to 6 minutes for an F-15 to bypass flight 175, turn, and sit at the WTC to wait for the plane (175) to arrive. This is far less than 18 minutes, and this plane (175) had to fly back over the Hudson Bay to reach its target. (Remember the range of the sidewinder is over 10 miles. Is it even necessary to mention the speed of this missile?) The Plane Hitting the Pentagon Could Have Been Stopped But Wasn't---Why? 4) Let's apply these same standards to the Pentagon plane #77. This plane is over restricted airspace. It is 40 minutes after the second attack in NYC. At some point, here, Barbara Olsen calls her husband to let him know the plane is hijacked. Mr. Olsen calls "officials" who claim that they don't know about Flight 77 being hijacked. Barbara Olsen makes a second phone call to her husband. Other passengers were FORCED TO CALL their families to tell them that they were going to die. Why would the hijackers put out this warning? The article definitely says "forced to call". See: Flight 77: 'Our Plane Is Being hijacked' (washingtonpost.com) See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/metro/dc/schools/A14365-2001Sep11.html This plane flies over the White House, which has automatic turret style anti-defense weaponry on top of the building. NO shots are reported to be fired, no anti-aircraft missiles were fired. This plane, still in restricted airspace, does a 270 degree bank to turn around and fly toward to Pentagon. Andrews AFB is 13 miles away. This is already within the range of a sidewinder. All that is required is to put the plane in the air (maybe up to 3000 ft.), lock and fire. Remember it is 40 minutes and they already know that these planes are being used as weapons. They have been reporting it on ABC, CBS, and NBC for 30+ minutes. They have received phone calls from passengers, telling them that the plane is hijacked. (By the way, what time were these cell-calls made? Before or after they entered the "no fly zone"?) These planes could have been knocked out of the sky EASILY, but weren't. Why? DP P.S. It's not that I want to believe that something stinks, here. It's just that I would like credible answers as to what was/is going on. I was in the military. As a Navy Nuclear Reactor Operator, we had to stand duty 24/7, to monitor operations. An Air Force base is constantly manned, in case of an unforeseen event or attack. They fly recon missions, every single day. Some of these recon flights may be armed, and some may not. But, there are a certain number of planes are armed at all times and the pilots do 24-hour rotating shifts so that the Air Force can respond quickly. The Air Force and Nuclear Aircraft Carriers constitute America's first line of defensive readiness. They were 13 miles from the Pentagon, with planes that can fly circles around a commercial jet. Were they on vacation or what?
