video: Webster Tarpley: The 9/11 Issue: Key to Stopping WWIII

includes extensive notes

Webster Griffin Tarpley background:

• author of 9/11 Synthetic Terror, Made in USA
• false-flag terrorism is the myth of the 21st Century
• expert in NATO “spheres of influence” terrorism
• 1st book (1978): Chi ha ucciso Aldo Moro (Who Killed Aldo Moro?) and the answer is NATO intelligence or the British & US
• co-authored (1991) American Leviathan: Administrative Fascism Under the Bush Regime
• 2nd book (1992): George Bush (Sr.), The Unauthorized Biography
• essay collection (1996): Against Oligarchy
• 3rd book (1999): Surviving the Cataclysm, an analysis of the world financial crisis.

history of false-flag terror plots:

• false-flag terror goes back to Guy Fawkes & the Gunpowder Plot (or Decayed Corn-Powder Plot) on November 5, 1605.
• Lord Robert Cecil (along with the Venetians) staged the Gunpowder Plot to provoke King James into war with Spain
• similar to the blowing of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor which provoked the Spanish-American war of 1898
• also the Gulf of Tonkin incident which provoked the Vietnam war in 1964
• in 2005 the NSA concedes that most of the allegations of August 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident were false
• blamed on middle-level employees covering mistakes, too bad for 58,000 americans

9/11 false-flag terror:

• 19 hijackers on 9/11 were patsies.
• patsies are setup to take the blame. they do not have the ability to do the job.  criminal intent is irrelevant if they can’t do it.
• patsies are agent provocateurs. they want as much public attention as possible and want to be remembered.  they pick fights, appear crazy in public, anything to make an impression.  they’re actors.
• moles work at critical points in the gov’t to protect the patsies before the Big Event and preach the official story afterwords
• professional killers actually have the ability to do the job, but are anonymous and protected
• Al Qaeda is a branch of CIA & MI-6

Able Danger:

• Mohamed Atta & the others lived on US military bases and trained by the US Military
• Able Danger are the controllers of the 19 hijackers and destroyed 2.5TB of surveillance data on them
• Kie Fallis, DIA counter-terrorism analyst predicted the USS Cole attack
• Able Danger founded by General Hugh Shelton, JCS chief & General Peter Schoomaker, head of Special Forces Command (SOCOM) in 1999
• Schoomaker was there at Desert One, the failed rescue of the hostages in Iran, during the Carter administration
• Able Danger was tasked to “manipulate, degrade, or destroy terrorist groups”  manipulate means control.
• Maj General Geoffrey Lambert (SOCOM) is a mole who stops surveillance info on Atta & Co from getting to FBI
• Official version: Atta & Co NOT in US in early 2000, not under scrutiny. “NSA was monitoring and translating Atta’s calls in USA” Morgan & Henshall: “9/11 Revealed: The Unanswered Questions”
• for every terror group there must be a terrorist controller group that tells them what to do
• drills in binary pairs: attacker/defender, Able Danger/Able Warrior
• Able Warrior, SOCOM’s largest yearly drill, theme is always defense against terror
• “Door Hop Galley”, a drill inside Able Danger. Actually, Dorhawk Galley.

Military Drills:

• 9/11 highest concentration of military drills in history

Holes in the Official Version:

• why no air defense for one hour and forty-five minutes?  it is impossible for any group outside of the US to cripple air defense
• David Ray Griffin – controlled demolition
• Stephen E. Jones – peer reviewed paper on controlled demolition – thermite/thermate
• comparison to other steel-frame building fires, no collapse
• central core columns
• no evidence for “pancake” theory. floors were pulverized into dust, hence explosives.
• dark smoke = cool, oxygen starved fire
• debris exploded out
• pentagon: hole is too small for Boeing

“Angel is next”

• ultimatum from coup faction to Bush
• threat to Air Force One
• Bush to Barksdale AFB & Offutt AFB, #1 & 2 nuclear command centers
• threat to use nuclear launch codes to start War of Civilizations
• threat of assassination & coup d’etat
• Warren Buffett & Brent Scowcroft at Offutt AFB
• Bush in kindergarten, sitting & projecting power – No Commander in Chief.
• May 11, 2001 – plane approaches White House. Congress evacuated, Bush not told – out riding his bike.

Schools of 9/11 Analysis:

• official version
• official version with unanswered questions: Nafeez Ahmed 2005
• official version and you deserve it (Imperialism): Gore Vidal, Noam Chomsky, left gatekeepers, Ward Churchill of Weathermen (Arlen Specter award)
• LIHOP: Nafeez Ahmed 2004, Mike Ruppert (Dick Cheney)
• LIHOP forte: Ian Henshall
• Bush-Cheney MIHOP: David Ray Griffin “New Pearl Harbor: Omissions & Distortions” (MIHOP in details, agnostic in overall)
• US secret gov’t MIHOP: Thierry Meyssan, von Bülow, Gerhard Wisnewski, Blondet, Tarpley, Hufschmidt
• Mossad MIHOP: Chris Bollyn, American Free Press

LIHOP evidence

• Failure to extradite Bin Laden from Sudan
• Close ties of Bush-Bin Laden families
• Failure to arrest patsies, Spring 2000-Sept 11, 18 months
• No US Air Defense from 8:15AM-10:00AM, 105 minutes

LIHOP/MIHOP Differences:

• LIHOP assumes Bin Laden, Atta, etc exist independently and possess the physical-technical capability to produce the results observed. Gov’t officials are accessories.
• MIHOP asserts the patsies accused by the gov’t do not have the physical-technical capability to produce the results observed. Gov’t officials are perpetrators.

MIHOP Evidence:

• Global Hawk, remote control of planes
• controlled demolition of WTC 1, 2, 7
• Larry Silverstein “Pull it”
• Lack of commercial aircraft at Pentagon
• Problems with Shanksville crash
• “Angel is next” – Secret Gov’t speaks

MIHOP includes LIHOP:

• Moles – LIHOP: as reported by Colleen Rowley, Sibel Edmonds, David Schippers, support and preserve patsies in pre-strike phase
• Professional Technicians – MIHOP
• Patsies – Permit desired political targeting

“Peak Oil” – an Oil Cartel fraud

• Fake oil crisis 1973 (+400%), 1979
• 1973 oil crisis planner Lord Victor Rothschild, Royal Dutch Shell research (King Hubbert), at Bilderberger meeting Saltsjøbaden, Sweden, Spring 1973
• 1979 Khomeini +200%, Pure hype plus futures market speculation
• Colin Campbell repeated predictions of peak in 1980s, 1990s

Drills & Deceptions

• terrorism is conducted through military drills.  this is critical to seeing what’s coming next.
• fight this $500bn military apparatus by stopping drills
• attacks disguised as drills to deceive the other side
• but also to deceive your own side (coup d’etat) by using gov’t resources ($500bn/year) and compartmentalization (security clearances, rank)
• any opposition is presented with a fait accompli
• drills are used as cover for coup d’etat, assassination, war, provocation
• Classic example: dupe is recruited for a drill which turns into an actual attack, liquidating the dupe (London 7/7 bombings)
• ghostly objectivity of the drill turning into reality

Types of Patsies (Nico Haupt)

• (lowest level of awareness to highest)
• Toys – dupes who do not know they are in a drill
• Team players/extras – think they are in a drill
• Supervisors, coordinators, consultants – some think they’re in a drill, some know it’s a real attack
• Passive plotters – know the attack is real but they can be liquidated by higher-up masterminds (MI-5, MI-6, Tavistock Institute)

About US drills today

• William Arkin, NBC consultant, writes for Washington Post, column “Early Warning”
• book: “Code Names”

Key Concept: Drill Mimics Terror Event:

• To conduit a terror operation through the gov’t military/security bureaucracy, make it coincide with an exercise or drill that closely resembles the terror operation
• This will camouflage the criminal intent and allow the terror provocation to be staged through a series of seemingly minor departures from the drill scenario
• simulation or reality

Operation Mongoose

• officially billed as a plot to assassinate Fidel Castro of Cuba
• in reality, used as cover for operations leading to JFK assassination 1963

• this is also how they were carried out
• drills are a vehicle for terror attacks ($500bn/year)

Vigilant Guardian

• morning of 9/11
• Allegedly Command Post Exercise (CPX) by US-Canada, NORAD
• Dawn Deskins: Boston center had a hijacked plane; “It must be part of the exercise, Deskins thought. At first, everybody did.”
• “simulated hijacked plane heading for JFK airport in NYC” – real plane or radar blip?
• multiplies targets / creates confusion

Vigilant Warrior

Drill Issues

• LIHOP: paralysis of air defense by sending aircraft far away
• fake radar blips sow confusion
• MIHOP: using real aircraft and real drones to act out “hijackings”
• degrees of fidelity – drills go live, become actual terror events with only small changes
• multiple levels of dupes and witting

MIHOP: Amalgam Virgo ’01

Giraldi on New 9/11, Iran

• “The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States.”
• “The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option.”
• “As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing – that Iran is being setup for an unprovoked nuclear attack – but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections.” (The American Conservative, Aug 1, 2005, reprinted by Justin Raimondo, Antiwar.com, July 25, 2005)

• “As I say, all options are on the table. The use of force is the last option for any president and you know, we’ve used force in the recent past to secure our country.” (Reuters, dateline Jerusalem, Aug 13, 2005)

Putin Reply to Bush, Aug 17

• “I think that lowering the threshold for the use of nuclear arms is a dangerous trend, because somebody may feel tempted to use nuclear weapons. If that happens, the next step can be taken – more powerful nuclear arms can be used, which may lead to a nuclear conflict. This extremely dangerous trend is in the back of the mind of some politicians and military officials.”
