Wargames Were Cover For the Operational
Execution of 9/11

For almost three years since 9/11 independent
researchers have stockpiled individual smoking guns which prove that the official
version of events was not only a lie but operationally impossible.

However, no single smoking gun has yet been
forwarded to explain why air defenses categorically reversed Standard Operating
Procedure and failed to respond to hijacked jetliners.

Until now.

It is clear that at least five if not six training
exercises were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of
9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners
at the same time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise
drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed.

The large numbers of 'blips' on NORAD screens
that displayed both real and 'drill' hijacked planes explain why confused
press reports emerged hours after the attack stating that up to eight planes
had been hijacked. Click here

The drill scenario also explains a comment
made by air traffic control personnel which was featured in a July 2004 BBC
television report. Click

airliner is heading for New York and responds by saying, "is this real
world or an exercise?"

Alex Jones was one of the first to highlight
the wargames in his documentary film 'Masters of Terror', which was released
in August 2002. Click

Press later had to admit the fact that the CIA were running drills of
crashing planes into buildings on the morning of 9/11.

What were the drills called and what was their
nature?

1) OPERATION NORTHERN VIGILANCE: This was planned
months in advance of 9/11 and ensured that on the morning of 9/11, jet fighters
were removed from patrolling the US east coast and sent to Alaska and Canada,
therefore reducing the amount of fighter planes available to protect the east
coast.

2) BIOWARFARE EXERCISE TRIPOD II: Alex Jones
first reported on this back in May when Rudolph Giuliani let the details of
it slip in his testimony to the 9/11 Commission. FEMA arrived in New York
on September 10th to set up a command post located at Pier 29 under the auspices
of a 'biowarfare exercise scheduled for September 12. This explains why Tom
Kenney of FEMA's National Urban Search and Rescue Team, told Dan Rather of
CBS News that FEMA had arrived in New York on the night of September 10th.
This was originally dismissed as a slip of the tongue. Giuliani was to use
this post as a command post on 9/11 after he evacuated WTC Building 7. As
we reported back in
January, Giuliani knew when to leave WTC 7 because he got advanced warning
that the Trade Towers were about to collapse. "We were operating out
of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse,"
Rudolph Giuliani told Peter Jennings of ABC News. How did Giuliani know the
towers were about to collapse when no steel building in history had previously
collapsed from fire damage?

3) OPERATION VIGILANT GUARDIAN: This exercise
simulated hijacked planes in the north eastern sector and started to coincide
with 9/11. Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins, NORAD unit's airborne control and warning
officer, was overseeing the exercise. At 8:40am she took a call from Boston
Center which said it had a hijacked airliner. Her first words, as quoted by
Newhouse News Service were, "It must be part of the exercise." This
is another example of how the numerous drills on the morning of 9/11 deliberately
distracted NORAD so that the real hijacked planes couldn't be intercepted
in time.

4) OPERATION NORTHERN GUARDIAN: The details
of this exercise are still scant but it is considered to be part of Vigilant
Guardian, relating to simulating hijacked planes in the north eastern sector.

5) OPERATION VIGILANT WARRIOR: This was referenced
in Richard Clarke's book 'Against All Enemies'. It is thought to have been
the 'attack' component of the Vigilant Guardian exercise.

Another example of how air defenses were purposefully
kept preoccupied so they couldn't protect New York was reported
by this website in December of 2003. The Air National Guard's 177th Fighter
Wing, based at Atlantic City International Airport in Pomona, were just eight
minutes away from New York and could have intercepted both Flight 11 and Flight
175.

Under NORAD procedures that date to the Cold
War, two F-16 fighters from the 177th were parked around the clock on the
Atlantic City runway. Pilots waited in a nearby building, ready to scramble.

But on the morning of 9/11, the F-16's were
performing bombing runs over an empty stretch of the Pine Barrens near Atlantic
City after being decommissioned from their usual role of protecting the skies
of the east coast.

It was only after both trade towers were hit
that the two F-16s landed and were refitted with air-to-air missiles, then
sent aloft.

Now that we have established how NORAD were
confused, delayed and distracted by the numerous wargames, the next question
to ask is who if anyone was aware of which planes were 'real world' and which
planes were 'exercise'? The answer to this question will provide us with the
name of the individual who ran the operatonal execution of the 9/11 attack.

Dick Cheney.

As the attack unfolded, Dick Cheney was running
a command bunker in what the Philadelphia
Daily News describes as 'the underground Pentagon'.

Site R, a highly secure complex of buildings
inside Raven Rock Mountain near Blue Ridge Summit, Pa., close to the Maryland-Pennsylvania
state line and about seven miles north of Camp David, is a 53-year-old facility
conceived at the start of the Cold War as an alternate command center in the
event of nuclear war or an attack on Washington.

The bunker is built into a mountain hillside
and is virtually camouflaged to the naked eye. The location betrays itself
by the vast gaggle of satellites, microwave towers and antennae that festoon
the perimeter. Inside the facility there are computer filled caverns and communication
and tracking technology that would put a James Bond movie to shame.

The entire facility is guarded by heavily armed
military police.

Within hours of 9/11 unfolding, five choppers
had landed on the facility's helipad and top officials such as Paul Wolfowitz
were ushered in to join Cheney in the command bunker.

Site R - also known as Raven Rock or the Alternate
Joint Communications Center is from where vice-President Dick Cheney executed
the 9/11 attack. Cheney's command superceded the orders of the Pentagon, the
FAA or the White House. He is the number one suspect in the murder of nearly
3,000 innocent people.

In May of 2001, by presidential order, Cheney
was handed direct control of all wargame and drill operations. This meant
he was solely in charge of the overlapping NORAD drills and wargames on the
morning of 9/11, that prevented Standard Operating Procedure from being implemented,
and any of the hijacked planes being intercepted.

The smoking guns of 9/11 are no longer disparate
jigsaw pieces that serve to just raise more questions than they answer. We
now have a coherent and plausible explanation of how the events unfolded,
why there was no air defense response, and a prime suspect as to who executed
these actions. The facts fit this version of events.

The 9/11 truth movement has just taken a giant
leap towards dismantling the lies of September 11and finally offering justice
for those who lost their lives on that terrible day.
