Dear friends,
Remember Star Wars? Do you remember the Pentagon's Strategic Defense Initiative to build a massive missile defense system that raised so much controversy during the Reagan and first Bush years? 130 billion of our tax dollars were poured into developing that system. It was designed to detect and intercept missiles fired from an unknown destination traveling at well over 10 times the speed of a commercial airliner, and to shoot them down in 15 minutes or less, before they reached their US targets.
According the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) website, "a defensive system may need to hit a warhead smaller than an oil drum that is traveling above the atmosphere at speeds greater than 13,000 miles per hour." The CBO report states that missile defense and intercept systems must take down an ICBM in a matter of minutes or it is all over.
You may remember that before 9/11, there were a number of tests of the Pentagon's missile defense systems. Some tests failed, while others succeeded. But there is an important question here. If these sophisticated military systems were designed to detect missiles fired from unknown locations at over 13,000 mph and shoot them down in mere minutes, why on 9/11 could they not detect any one of the four large airliners traveling at a mere 600 mph, especially when two of them were known to be lost for over 40 minutes before they crashed?
This question applies especially to Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon. The first plane hijacking on 9/11 was reported at about 8:20 AM (see NY Times article), well over an hour before Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:38. According to the Times article, Flight 77 was reported lost at 8:56 A.M., 42 minutes before it crashed. Even if the FAA radar systems completely failed and FAA officials failed to alert the military, all military leaders certainly knew within minutes that the World Trade Center had been hit at 8:46. By 9:03, when the second tower was hit, they certainly knew there were big problems.
How is it possible that the Pentagon's highly touted missile detections systems could not locate Flight 77 in the 42 minutes it was known to be lost before it crashed into the heart of the defense system of the U.S.? The missile detection systems did not depend on FAA radar and were programmed to pick up any unaccounted for objects and raise alarms immediately, as mentioned on the CBO website.
Here's another related question. Why was the Pentagon's billion-dollar missile defense system such a hot topic in the media before 9/11, yet we've heard almost nothing about it since? Could it be that there are elements in the government and military who don't want people to think about questions like those asked here? And an even bigger question is why isn't our media asking these questions and more?
Why is it that the 9/11 Commission budget was far less than the budget allotted to the Challenger space shuttle disaster or even the Monica Lewinsky affair? The 9/11 commission was originally allotted only $3 million. Eventually, after much begging and haggling, the commission was given $15 million. Yet a CNN article lists the cost of the Lewinsky investigation at $30 million. A Los Angeles Times article states the cost of the Columbia space shuttle disaster investigation was $175 million.
How could 9/11 – the greatest disaster in American history – be given such a small budget for investigation? Why didn't the Pentagon aggressively investigate the greatest failure ever in U.S. defenses? And why did both the president (see CNN article) and vice-president (see Newsweek article) initially oppose any investigation at all?
Why aren't we, the public, asking these questions and demanding answers? It's not too late. Let us take action now and seek answers to these vital questions. For further reliable information on this topic, go to the revealing two-page 9/11 summary at available here. All information is taken only from major media sources. You can easily verify each fact by using the links provided to the original articles on the major media websites from which the facts were taken. Then watch a 15-minute clip of the powerful, eye-opening documentary 9/11: Press for Truth at this link. The box below also contains excellent ideas on what you can do to make a difference.
To understand why all of this disturbing information isn't getting extensive media coverage, visit this link. If these facts were reported in headline news where they belong, caring citizens would be astounded and demand to know more. This has not happened, which is why we feel compelled to provide them here. It is now up to us, the citizens of all countries to come together to bring light to the hidden shadows so that we can more effectively work towards a better world for all of us.
The entire website at www.WantToKnow.info is dedicated both to providing a concise, reliable introduction to important information that is being hidden from us, and to inspiring us to work together to strengthen democracy and to build a better world.

Let me get this straight. You first supply claims of surface to air missile batteries protecting the Pentagon, and when asked for proof, you supply articles that discusses using the detection methods of an undeveloped/unproven defense system?
What's wrong with you? Where is you proof of the surface to air missile surrounding the Pentagon? Is this what you do? Make idiotic claims and then when shown proof to the contrary or asked to supply YOUR proof, you move on to other topics? That's quite cowardly in my book...
Do you have proof that this "Star Wars" system was fully tested and operational on 2001? Was it capable of detecting objects WITHIN the atmosphere? How would the system detect the correct plane?
All this amounts to is more speculation and gibberish from you.
You would be absolutely stunned to know about the technology that has been hidden from us that the military industrial complex has at it's disposal but kept hidden because this corporate entity does not have our best interest at heart.
Ah, so now your argument is that the 'anti-missile batteries' were 'secret', and that's why you can't back a damn thing you've said about them?
How gloriously circular. What doesn't stun me is how much of your stupidly elaborate, ridiculously complicated conspiracy is pulled sideways out of your ass. You have absolutely nothing to back your claim of 'anti-air missiles' that Cheney told to 'stand down'.
Which you knew when you started. But really hoped we didn't.
And instead of admitting that you can't back up your claims.....you double down on batshit. Adding brand new layers of elaboration, new layers of fantastic complexity. DARPA and MKULTRA. With thousands and thousands of *more* people folded into your conspiracy.
Here's a much simpler explanation: Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.
No imaginary, super secret missile batteries, non-existent stand down orders, made up 'secure airspace over the Pentagon', no thousands of planted witnesses, no faked flight records, no planted evidence, spontaneous conspiracy involving thousands necessary.
As I said, your explanation is just awful. Its a horrible, mind-bogglingly bad explanation of events. And you can't back it with anything but more baseless batshit.
You seem to have no critical thinking skills and I can not help you with that. You could drive a platoon of tanks through the holes of the official story. I am not posting here to divide people or get them to support one side or the other of the "left versus right" paradigm. We are up to our arm pits in shit and if we continue to refuse to see what things are, soon we will be drowning in it. I see what has been going on for the last 100 plus years and why we are in the shape we are in in spite of the tremendous advantage we had after the Bretton Woods agreement after WII and the incremental taking down of middle class jobs once they had completed yet another phase of their agenda.The first WTC bombing was staged, the OKC bombing was another false flag and 9/11/01 was the mother of all false flags and psy-op and that is a fact. Whether you chose to accept this or not is your decision.
thats because shills can only shit all over the floor everytime they open their mouths.![]()
he shit on the floor again just now like clockwork.lol
