CANADIAN
TV AIRS EMPEROR'S CLOTHES 'GUILTY FOR 9-11' EVIDENCE!
by John
Flaherty
[Posted 5 February
2001]
=======================================
For the first time
material from Emperor's Clothes series 'GUILTY FOR 9-11' has appeared on a
network TV show.
The program was "The Great Deception". (1) It aired
Jan. 28 on the Insight Mediafile at Vision TV, a network with 2 million distinct
viewers a week. Vision programs are seen across Canada and can reach from 100 to
150,000 people.
Hosted by Barrie Zwicker, the program used research and
material from 'GUILTY FOR 9-11, Section 1', the 'Update to Section 1, and
'Section 2' or 'Cheney's Cover Story.' (1a)
After watching the program,
Emperor's Clothes Editor Chris Black contacted Barrie Zwicker to congratulate
him for taking this brave step.
Mr. Zwicker wrote back:
[Letter
begins here]
Dear Christopher Black:
What a joyful surprise to
receive your e-mail.
Amidst the avalanche of e-mail I'm trying to cope
with, I want to respond immediately to yours.
I discovered www.emperors-clothes.com I don't know
how long, maybe well over a year, ago. I learned to trust it. I have been
educated and nurtured by it. And increasingly, inspired.
So for me to
receive your e-mail was a complete and genuine and gratifying surprise. I do not
consider myself to be in your league as to investigative journalism.
I
was suspicious about the 9/11 thing from the outset. For me to be the first,
apparently, to ask these questions on air is ridiculous. Big media should have
done it already.
[Regarding the information on Andrews Air Force base]
really, there must be thousands of people who have first- or second-hand
knowledge of complicity. Just take the number of people who live on Andrews AFB
who know their interceptors stayed put until too late. I don't think they can
keep the lid on this for much longer.
Thank you, Christopher, Israel and
the rest, for your wonderful work all along.
Gotta run. I hope to be in
touch again. In peace and networking for light.
Barrie Zwicker,
A
producer and host

Here's
the transcript of the part of the TV show based on Emperor's Clothes research:
[START EXCERPT FROM 'GREAT DECEPTION' TRANSCRIPT] (2)
"For large
scheduled aircraft, tracked throughout on radar, to depart extravagantly from
their flight paths, would trigger numerous calls to the military, especially
after two have hit the World Trade Centre and now one is speeding toward
Washington, D.C.
"It flies over the White House, turns sharply and heads
toward the Pentagon. Everyone - and I mean everyone - now knows these planes are
very bad news. It's been reported on all TV networks for more than half an hour
that this is a terrorist attack.
"Now, Andrews Air Force Base is a huge
installation. It's home to Air Force One, the President's plane. It's home base
for two combat-ready squadrons of jet interceptors mandated to ensure the safety
of the U.S. capital. Andrews is only 12 miles from the White House.
(3)
"On September 11th the squadrons there were: The 121st Fighter
Squadron of the 113th Fighter Wing, equipped with F-16s The 321st Marine Fighter
Attack Squadron of the 49th Marine Air Group, Detachment A, equipped F/A-18s
(4)
"This information was on the website of the base on September 11th.
On September 12th, Andrews chose to update its website. I find it odd that after
the update there's no mention of the F-16 and F-18 fighters. The base becomes,
according to the website, home to a transport squadron only. (5)
"Yet at
6:30 the evening of September 11th NBC Nightly News, along with many outlets,
reported:
"'It was after the attack on the Pentagon that the Air Force
then decided to scramble F-16s out of the DC National Guard Andrews Air Force
Base to fly ... a protective cover over Washington, D.C.'
(5a)
"Throughout the northeastern United States are many air bases. But
that morning no interceptors respond in a timely fashion to the highest alert
situation. This includes the Andrews squadrons which have the longest lead time
and are 12 miles from the White House.
"Whatever the explanation for the
huge failure, there have been no reports, to my knowledge, of reprimands. This
further weakens the "Incompetence Theory." Incompetence usually earns
reprimands.
"This causes me to ask - and other media need to ask - if
there were 'stand down' orders."
[END EXCERPT FROM 'GREAT DECEPTION'
TRANSCRIPT]
Elsewhere in the show, Mr. Zwicker talked about the Payne
Stewart tragedy. As you may recall, Mr. Stewart's small business jet ceased to
respond to Air Traffic Controllers. The plane continued flying on autopilot.
Here is how Mr. Zwicker describes what happened:
"9:19 a.m.: the
flight departs 9:24: The Learjet's pilot responds to an instruction from air
traffic control 9:33: The controller radios another instruction. No response
from the pilot. For 4 1/2 minutes the controller tries to establish contact.
9:38: Having failed, the controller calls in the military. Note that he did not
seek, nor did he require, the approval of the President of the United States, or
indeed anyone. It's standard procedure, followed routinely, to call in the Air
Force when radio contact with a commercial passenger jet is lost, or the plane
departs from its flight path, or anything along those lines occurs. 9:54 - 16
minutes later -- the F-16 reaches the Learjet at 46,000 feet and conducts a
visual inspection. Total elapsed time: 21 minutes."
[END EXCERPT FROM
'GREAT DECEPTION' TRANSCRIPT]
There appears to be an error here. The
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report on the Payne Stewart tragedy
(6) does not state when the military was contacted. Other reports indicate that
it took half an hour for the FAA to notify the military. (7)
Several
sources state that planes from Tyndal Air Force Base were the first ones sent to
intercept the failing jet. (8) But the Tyndal planes don't even figure in the
NTSB report. (It also appears that the NTSB report does not state when the
military was notified.)
Moreover, the NTSB switches from Eastern Time to
Central Time in mid-report. Barrie Zwicker reported a lapse of 16 minutes from
the time Stewart's plane stopped responding to radio communication to the time
interceptors actually reached the Lear Jet. But given the switch from Eastern to
Central Time in the NTSB report, this apparently took over an hour. Again, this
is a bit murky; it is possible that planes from the Tyndal Air Force base were
dispatched and then recalled, and this is just not mentioned in the NTSB report.
Emperor's Clothes made a similar mistake in 'Cheney's Cover Story.' (9)
In the initial post, we stated that when Stewart's plane went off course, the
FAA 'immediately' contacted the military. It's fine to make undocumented
statements in general argument, but in a Summary of Evidence one needs to
document matters of time as much as possible. Since it is difficult to be sure
of the exact timing of events in the Payne Stewart case, we have cut out the
word 'immediately.'
In any case, the question of how quickly the FAA
contacted the Military about the Payne Stewart jet is not worth a lot of
research time. Regarding 9-11, the important thing is that the Payne Stewart
case shows, that contrary to Vice President Cheney's assertions on MEET THE
PRESS, intercepting planes does not means shooting them down. And as Barrie
Zwicker pointed out, it does not require presidential approval to intercept a
plane, again contrary to Mr. Cheney. These are the key points.
The
question of how long it took the military to respond has to be put in context.
This was a small business jet plane flying on autopilot towards a low-population
area. It was not a hijacked jumbo jet, one of four airliners hijacked on 9-11,
of which two had already crashed into the biggest buildings in New York. And it
was not the third hijacked airliner, which turned around in Ohio and was flying
back to Washington, DC.
Clearly on 9-11 the FAA went on emergency
footing. Vice President Cheney says that after the first airliner hit the World
Trade Center, the FAA had open lines to the Secret Service. Newsday reports that
by 9:06 the FAA had ordered the entire air corridor from Cleveland to
Washington, DC shut down. *** That is, the FAA shut down the route which, we are
told, American Flight 77 took heading back to the Pentagon.
It is one
thing if the FAA or the military was slow responding to a small business jet on
autopilot flying over unpopulated areas, and it is another thing for those in
charge of Andrews Air Force Base not to scramble fighter jets when there was an
obvious deadly threat to key US military and government installations, not to
mention that Flight 77 was heading for an urban area inhabited by several
million souls.
