- Subject: The Stand Down That Is Not Acknowledged
DC Air National Guard Website Archive Page Has Been Blocked!
2 July 2002Friends,
I continue to work on this thesis, as I have from 9/11 when I was an earwitness and could not believe there was no response. Do not forget nearby Bolling AFB as well as Anacostia Naval Air Station (DCANG) and Andrews AFB, and the 177th Air Wing in Pomona, NJ which covers both DC and NY, and Otis AFB where two planes did scramble only to arrive too late to intercept the planes that hit the twin towers. . . .

9 Jul 2002The following is JJ's response to Vincent J. Salandria's mail.
Vince,
Regarding advance knowledge:
- Certain officials were warned not to fly that day, including SF mayor Willie Brown.
- Osama bin Laden was allegedly linked to the bombing of the Twin Towers in 1993, another situation the FBI knew of in advance and did nothing to avert.
- Osama bin Laden was linked to incidents using planes to attack buildings, including one foiled in Paris against the Eiffel Tower, and one that succeeded in Moscow during the Chechnya war. . . .

27 Jul 2002This is a three part series from the Post, chock full of the names and companies behind the deep geopolitics of the war in Afghanistan as well as the current plans for Iraq and renewed interest in Iran.
Also picked up The Forbidden Truth today from Thunder's Mouth Press/The Nation, translated from the French, and also politically edited according to press commentary to make the advance war planning seem less credible. Leave it to The Nation. Wayne Madsen does the introduction and hews hard to the left intelligentia's "blowback" line.

28 Jul 2002Read all about it!! A continually expanding website with a wealth of details on COINTELPRO at www.cointel.org. And now TIPS, which one journalist pointed out will have more spies at the start of operations than the Eustaci or Joseph Stalin dreamed about, or the Nazi SS. Is it time to learn something from history?

COINTELPRO
www.cointel.org- Subject: Ready for Martial Law
28 Jul 2002Right on target. I believe that we have been under Continuity of Government since 9/11 with a declared "national emergency" shifting all decision making to DOD/FEMA/NSC, with Cheney at the helm from the bunker in Bluemont, Virginia, and Bush as the stand-up dummy for the "shadow government". All sorts of legal authorities shift when you go to war or national emergency, and I think they have put them into place silently for the time being.
I was sure DC was going to martial law that day, since all transportation in and out, roads, highways and communications were shut down or controlled, the Situation Room and the War Room were calling the shots, and the government employees were told to go home (which means out of DC). I packed up essentials and went with them for a few days until things cooled down. I didn't want to be trapped in the play zone, since the Pentagon is only a few miles from my house.
If you think I'm being an alarmist, look out the window. This is the scenario I was warning about in Los Angeles in 1996 and earlier. One stage at a time, unless we say no and demand democracy. There is more to come unless we stand up to this madness and make this a democracy again now.

martialLaw.html- Subject: CNN.com - Officials: Government failed to react to FAA warning - September 17, 2001
28 Jul 2002Just revisited this piece of hype. So many lies and distortions:
- Federal officials did not "fail to heed a warning" to evacuate nor did they only begin evacuation "after" the plane struck the Pentagon. They were evacuated from White House, Capitol and Pentagon before it hit, reported on Channel 8 news here. I know when it hit, it shook my windows. Local news interviewed people on the White House lawn being evacuated who saw a plane flying overhead and asked if it was the hijacked plane. They were told it was the President's "Doomsday" plane. If so, who the hell was in it? . . .
