AA-1177 - Summary of All Posts - Connecting Details of Prior Terrorist Attacks/Deaths/Accidents With 9/11, 11/3, 7/7 & 11/7

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. Terry Prachett.


Summary of All Posts To AA-1177 International 7/7 London Bombings Inquiry Blog - www.aa-1177.blogspot.com from 21 February 2008 through to 10 March 2009


As This Blog's Description states, The Aim is To Think Outside The Box. Instead of focusing on what the government and the media reports, and wants us to Hear and Believe, let us discover a few logical and unusual details, by ourselves............

I have included a selection of historical and present day stories which bear some of the characteristics of the four major MCIs (New York 2001, Madrid 2004, London 2005 and Mumbai 2006). It would appear there was an established pattern of details/characteristics, before the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon. This would suggest there is Another Leader; Al-Qaeda has been instructed to claim responsibility but was not in fact responsible.

II / 11 The Deaths of Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten (1979) & Princess Diana (1997)
The number 11 and Roman Numerals (II) have played a role in the reign of the Monarchy/Royalty and Religion for centuries. Today, we have Elizabeth II. There was also John Paul II from 1978 to 2005. There is an interesting connection with the number 11 and the Death of Louis Mountbatten (Died 1979, Aged 79, add 11 Days to His Date of Death, we have 7/9/1979) and the Death of Princess Diana (Add 11 to the Date of Her Death - We have 9/11 - 11 September. What is the connection between the number 11 and the IRA (Catholic) Terrorist Attack on Louis Mountbatten as well as Diana's supposed innocent car accident? Includes References to My Connections To These People and Personal Experiences.

POPE JOHN PAUL I, Albino Luciano 1978 - 30th Anniversary Christmas Present - His Death and Terrorist Attacks in the 21st century
The aim of this post is to present some of the reasons why an important figure might be removed/silenced, in corrupt and politicized institutions. John Paul I papacy was short lived, in fact only 33 days. Suspicion surrounds his death, given the refusal to carry out an autopsy but also the number of his colleagues who died, around the same time. This post includes some of the events in the Vatican, which followed JPI death. e.g. The next Pope was John Paul II, a Polish Anti-Communist and member of Opus Dei; in 1981 there was a failed assassination attempt on JPII, followed shortly afterwards by the public eruption of the Banco Ambrosiano, Vatican Bank (Paul Marcinkus) and P2 Masonic Lodge Scandal; in 1982 there was the mysterious death of Roberto Calvi, known as God's Banker in London, etc

Ponder Over the Pattern Of Deaths in 1978 Before JPI Died
16 August 1978 – Cardinal PAUL YU PIN ! (China) Aged 77
5 September 1978 - Metropolitan NIKODIM (Russia) Aged 49 = 7²! (Cuba!)
11 September 1978 – Cardinal VALERIAN GRACIAS (India/Pakistan) Aged 77

We see a Pattern of 7s Above and We Also See a Pattern of 7s in 9/11 and 7/7.
9/11 USA
Buildings Hit (2Twins + 5Pentagon = 7)
AA11 + AA77 = AA8+8 = 16/7
UA175 + UA93 = UA268 = 16/7

7/7 UK
07/07/2005

Who and Why Are They Leaving This Signature?!

Looking at various numerical dimensions and communication devices in these Terrorist Attacks e.g. the meaning of day names, days between attacks, historical connections with dates, totals of flight/train numbers both horizontally and vertically, etc

The Number 7 appears throughout 9/11
EG American Airlines and United Airlines Piloted 7Sevens
AA11 + AA77 = AA88 (16/7)
UA175 + UA93 = UA268 (16/7)

Truth Serums, Truth Drugs - Mumbai Attacks 26 November 2008

9/11 and the 2001 Anthrax Attacks

ZURICH, Aug. 23, 2008 (Reuters) — Swiss International Air Lines said on Saturday 23 August 2008 that flight LX 2114 from (ZRH) Zurich to (AGP) Malaga in Spain was diverted to (GVA) Geneva following a bomb threat. The Airbus A320 landed safely in Geneva. The airline later said that police found no explosive devices on the plane. "This has been a false alarm," a spokesman for the airline told Reuters.

MADRID - SPANAIR, the airline involved in a crash last month that killed 154 people in Madrid, had a technical problem on Thursday 4 September with one of its planes that had to make an unscheduled landing, a spokesman said. Flight JK4113 from Spain's Mediterranean holiday island of (IBZ) Ibiza, Spain to (LIS) Lisbon, Portugal with 163 passengers on board landed on the neighbouring island of Mallorca because of a still undetermined technical problem, he said. The plane left Ibiza at 0715 GMT (3.15 pm) and was diverted to (PMI) Mallorca less than an hour later. The passengers were then put on another plane to continue their journey to the Portuguese capital.

How Much Does a Suicide Bomber Cost? Find and Ask A Middleman....


How Much Does a Suicide Bomber Cost?
Find and Ask A Middleman...
(You will Pay for the Rest of Your Life for Doing This To Me! Their JV with my Blood Relations and Associates)

A Suicide Bomber (SB) will always be recognized as a lethal and formidable weapon. Any weapon which can maim and kill hundreds, will always be recognized as a tradeable commodity.

We know real SBs act on ideology. We also know the majority of Muslims are not interested in being SBs. The majority of Muslims are in fact concerned with living. We know Wealthy Muslims, the Saudi Royal Family and Ruling Elite in many Middle Eastern Countries will never become Suicide Bombers.

The fact that SBs are recognized as lethal weapons, means they will be tradeable. All weapons have a PRICE. Who is actively involved in the Arms Trade with countries in the Middle East?



Who has had an established presence in the Middle East and had long term relations with the Ruling Elite and Security Services, over many years?

Who attends International Arms Fairs?
Who has contact with the religious/training establishments where SBs are trained?
Who has no interest in being a Suicide Bomber but is actively involved in organizing SB missions?

London (7/7) and Madrid (11/3) were attacked. Both countries have had long term fights against terrorism i.e. IRA and ETA.


* * *

ONE OF THE ARMS TRADE FAIRS
International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS)


Venue: Karachi Exhibition Centre, Karachi, Pakistan
Frequency: Every two years
Dates:



Organisers and Sponsors: The event is co-ordinated by Pakistan's Defence Export Promotion Organisation.
Principle Focus: Weapons, military vehicles and most other military equipment.

Attendance: Along with the usual suspects, North Korea, Myanmar (Burma), Zimbabwe, Iran, Sudan, China and Indonesia have all sent delegations to IDEAS, taking advantage to Pakistan's lack of circumspection over who buys its arms. US companies exhibited for the first time in 2004. Publicity after IDEAS 2002 claimed 140 companies from 20 countries exhibited, with over 20,000 trade visitors.

UK Involvement: Land Rover was the only UK-based company to exhibit at the first IDEAS in 2001, but more UK companies have exhibited in recent years.

Notes: Operating with the bizarre slogan 'Arms for Peace', IDEAS is primarily about establishing the military regime in Pakistan as a supplier in what it sees as an expanding defence market in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Since Pakistan has explicitly said it would probably only rule out Israel as a customer, IDEAS can cater to the military needs of various pariah states.

The show is not just about Pakistani weapons though, and US firms such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon turned up in force in 2004, since Pakistan has now become a US ally in the 'war on terror'. The 2004 event was used as the occasion for the announcement that the US is now prepared to reverse its previous opposition to selling F-16 jets to Pakistan. The expo, then, is also about Pakistani procurement. Publicity also boasts of "the world's largest firing demonstration."

The 47-storey third tower, known as Tower Seven, collapsed seven hours after the twin towers.

Investigators are expected to say ordinary fires on several different floors caused the collapse.

Conspiracy theorists have argued that the third tower was brought down in a controlled demolition. Unlike the twin towers, Tower Seven was not hit by a plane.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, based near Washington DC, is expected to conclude in its long-awaited report this month that ordinary fires caused the building to collapse. That would make it the first and only steel skyscraper in the world to collapse because of fire.


The National Institute of Standards and Technology's lead investigator, Dr Shyam Sunder, spoke to BBC Two's "The Conspiracy Files": "Our working hypothesis now actually suggests that it was normal building fires that were growing and spreading throughout the multiple floors that may have caused the ultimate collapse of the buildings."

'Smoking gun'
However, a group of architects, engineers and scientists say the official explanation that fires caused the collapse is impossible. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth argue there must have been a controlled demolition.

The founder of the group, Richard Gage, says the collapse of the third tower is an obvious example of a controlled demolition using explosives.

"Building Seven is the smoking gun of 9/11. A sixth grader can look at this building falling at virtually freefall speed, symmetrically and smoothly, and see that it is not a natural process.

"Buildings that fall in natural processes fall to the path of least resistance", says Gage, "they don't go straight down through themselves."


Conspiracy theories
There are a number of facts that have encouraged conspiracy theories about Tower Seven.

Although its collapse potentially made architectural history, all of the thousands of tonnes of steel from the skyscraper were taken away to be melted down.

The third tower was occupied by the Secret Service, the CIA, the Department of Defence and the Office of Emergency Management, which would co-ordinate any response to a disaster or a terrorist attack.

The destruction of the third tower was never mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report. The first official inquiry into Tower Seven by the Federal Emergency Management Agency was unable to be definitive about what caused its collapse.

In May 2002 FEMA concluded that the building collapsed because intense fires had burned for hours, fed by thousands of gallons of diesel stored in the building. But it said this had "only a low probability of occurrence" and more work was needed.

But now nearly seven years after 9/11 the definitive official explanation of what happened to Tower Seven is finally about to be published in America.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has spent more than two years investigating Tower Seven but lead investigator Dr Shyam Sunder rejects criticism that it has been slow.

"We've been at this for a little over two years and doing a two or two and a half year investigation is not at all unusual. That's the same kind of time frame that takes place when we do aeroplane crash investigations, it takes a few years."


With no steel from Tower 7 to study, investigators have instead made four extremely complex computer models worked out to the finest detail. They're confident their approach can now provide the answers. Dr Sunder says the investigation is moving as fast as possible.

"It's a very complex problem. It requires a level of fidelity in the modelling and rigour in the analysis that has never been done before."

Other skyscrapers haven't fully collapsed before because of fire. But NIST argues that what happened on 9/11 was unique.

Steel structure weakened
It says Tower Seven had an unusual design, built over an electricity substation and a subway; there were many fires that burnt for hours; and crucially, fire fighters could not fight the fires in Tower 7, because they didn't have enough water and focused on saving lives.

Investigators have focused on the east side where the long floor spans were under most stress. They think fires burnt long enough to weaken and break many of the connections that held the steel structure together.
Most susceptible were the thinner floor beams which required less fireproofing, and the connections between the beams and the columns. As they heated up the connections failed and the beams sagged and failed, investigators say.

The collapse of the first of the Twin Towers does not seem to have caused any serious damage to Tower Seven, but the second collapse of the 1,368ft (417m) North Tower threw debris at Tower Seven, just 350ft (106m) away.

Tower Seven came down at 5.21pm. Until now most of the photographs have been of the three sides of the building that did not show much obvious physical damage. Now new photos of the south side of the building, which crucially faced the North Tower, show that whole side damaged and engulfed in smoke.

Whistleblowers - National Security, Government & Armed Forces

Human Rights Violators, National Security, Government & Armed Forces-
THE WHISTLE BLOWERS

It takes a certain type of person to be a Whistle blower. Forget weak people who have no backbone and have never taken a serious stand on any issue. Certainly forget the Wealthy and the Corrupt who throw money around to cover up their crimes. Such people can not be relied anyway, to act in the interests of their country, when Greed is of selfish and Primary Importance to Themselves.

This post presents some of the most famous Whistle blowers who have sought to expose the reality about people in National Security, Government and the Armed Forces. They have
  • Exposed the Secret Rendition Program, Foreign Spy Rings, Nuclear Weapons Trade, etc
  • Exposed Human Rights Violations in different countries as well as torture and abuse in Abu Ghraib.
  • Exposed Disinformation - Fixing Intelligence for political purposes in the lead up to invasions such as Iraq and Iran. Different governments have dared to use this intelligence.
  • Exposed Secret No Bid Contracts involving a President's Associates and Coalition Partners.All instigated in or by a select few from Democratic Countries
Any Whistle blower who exposes blatant violations of state and international laws by their own government and citizens, should receive the highest commendation from their country. Boundaries are clearly defined in many transparent legal instruments.

ERNEST BACKES
Ernest Backes (1946, Trier, Germany) was #3 of clearing chamber Clearstream (formerly Cedel), in charge of relations with clients, and was fired in May 1983. According to himself, he was "fired because (he) knew too much about the Ambrosiano scandal." Banco Ambrosiano collapsed in 1982, but the scandal wasn't yet public when Ernest Backes was dismissed. Ernest Backes was the primary whistleblower in Revelation$, the book he co-authored with Denis Robert and which in 2001 caused the Clearstream scandal. In 1971, he was hired by Cedel, set up in 1970 by a consortium of 66 international banks. With Gérard Soisson, Cedel's manager, he helped design and install Cedel’s computerized accounting system in the 1970s.

SHAWN CARPENTER

Shawn Carpenter is an American Navy veteran and whistleblower (previously employed by Sandia National Laboratories) who tracked down a Chinese cyberespionage ring that is code-named Titan Rain by the FBI. He came to national attention when his story was reported on in the September 5, 2005 issue of Time magazine.

After informing his supervisors of the breaches, he was told that his only concern was Sandia computers, and to drop the issue. His employment was later terminated when Carpenter disobeyed his management and communicated the information about the security breaches to the United States Army and the FBI. He was a confidential informant for the FBI for almost half a year before Sandia discovered his actions. Carpenter reportedly felt betrayed by the termination, as he viewed his actions were a service to his country, similar to that of his previous military service.

KATHARINE TERESA GUN
Gun is a former employee of Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), a British intelligence agency. In 2003 she leaked top-secret information to the press concerning alleged illegal activities by the United States and the United Kingdom in their push for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. On January 31, 2003, she received an e-mail from a United States National Security Agency official named Frank Koza. This e-mail requested aid in a secret and illegal operation to bug the United Nations offices of six nations: Angola, Cameroon, Guinea, Pakistan, Mexico and Chile. These were the six "swing nations" on the UN Security Council that could determine whether the UN approved of the invasion of Iraq. The plan clearly violated the Vienna Conventions, which regulate global diplomacy. Gun leaked the email to The Observer, hoping to prevent the war. After her revelation, she was fired from GCHQ. "I have no regrets and I would do it again", she said.

DAVE LARSON
On January 08, 2008 a Whistleblower named Dave Larson made significant disclosures to the Dept. of Defense Office of the Inspector General and to Senate members substantiating allegations made by Russ Tice and which detailed unlawful criminal acts committed under Special Access Program (SAP) provisions. This matter remains pending and current with the Dept. of Defense Inspector General as case #103586.

Dave Larson has been involved in the development of government funded implantable medical device technology since March 1997, as a Biomedical Engineering student, research subject, Microsoft Certified Technician, programmer and FCC licensed operator KI6JJN. His site details the ongoing legal effort regarding criminal misconduct and abuse of Defense Special Access Program provisions, and a campaign for government ethics and reform. A "Special Access Program" (or "SAP") is described as "a uniform system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information" by the U.S. Department of Defense, more commonly known as "black projects". His site details one such project that may well be the darkest, blackest, highly classified project ever to receive public exposure. Extensive research efforts, ongoing legal efforts, and Freedom of Information requests have resulted in the factual data, and comprehensive documentation explicitly detailing U.S. Government efforts to develop implantable medical device technology for deployment as a Defense Tactical Weapon, and Intelligence Tool. What began in 1997 as an inquiry has evolved into a moral and ethical dilemma that has personnel from the NIH (Hambrecht, Heetderks and Loeb), the United States Dept. of Defense (Col. Ling, and OSD components), the FBI, and Defense Contractor, the Alfred E. Mann Foundation, committing acts of felony criminal misconduct, fraud, and civil rights violations under the protections of "National Security", the Patriot Act and governmental contractual obligations. Civil litigation is being sought in the interest of justice and public interest.

DAVID MACMICHAEL
David MacMichael is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst. A ten-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, he was a counter-insurgency expert in South-East Asia for four years. He also served as an analyst for the National Intelligence Council from 1981-1983. MacMichael graduated with an MA and Ph.D. in History from the University of Oregon. MacMichael resigned from the CIA in July 1983 because he felt the Agency was misrepresenting intelligence for political reasons. His public resignation from the Agency gave credence and notability to his vocal indictment of the Reagan Administration's policy toward Central America. He was considered the "key witness" in Nicaragua v. United States. The case was heard in 1986 before the International Court of Justice, which ruled that the United States had violated international law by supporting the Contras in their war against the Nicaraguan government and by mining Nicaragua's harbors. MacMichael also testified in front of Congress on this matter.

STEWART MENZIES
Major General Sir Stewart Graham Menzies, KCB, KCMG, DSO, MC (pronounced "mingis", with a hard 'g') (30 January 1890 – 29 May 1968) was Chief of MI6, British Secret Intelligence Service, during and after World War II. He joined the counterintelligence section of Field Marshall Douglas Haig, and in late 1917 reported to high British leadership that Haig was fudging intelligence estimates, which soon led to Haig's removal. This whistle-blowing was apparently done very discreetly. Following the end of the war, he entered MI6 (later SIS) and became a deputy of its director-general Hugh Sinclair.


In 1924, Menzies was allegedly involved — alongside Sidney Reilly and Desmond Morton — in the forging of The Zinoviev Letter. This forgery is considered to have been instrumental in the Conservative Party's victory in the United Kingdom general election of 1924, which ended the country's first Labour government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Menzies

CRAIG MURRAY
Craig Murray (born October, 1958) is a British political activist, former ambassador to Uzbekistan and current Rector of the University of Dundee. While at the embassy in Tashkent, he accused the Karimov administration of human rights abuses, a step which, he argued, was against the wishes of the British government and the reason for his removal. Murray complained to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in November 2002, January or early February 2003, and in June 2004 that intelligence linking the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan to al-Qaeda, suspected of being gained through torture, was unreliable, immoral, and illegal. He described this as "selling our souls for dross". Murray was subsequently removed from his ambassadorial post on October 14, 2004. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_murray / http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/

BASSEM YOUSSEF
Mr. Youssef is the highest ranking Arab-American agent employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is currently a Unit Chief in the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division. Prior to holding his current position, Mr. Youssef coordinated the national counterterrorism investigation into the Islamic Group (the organization responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing). He speaks fluent Arabic (the highest ranking FBI official with this skill).

In 2002, Youssef blew the whistle to the director of the FBI and Congress that discriminatory practices within the Bureau were undermining the effectiveness of America’s counterterrorism efforts. Speaking publicly for the first time on the subject, the Egyptian-born Youssef said that FBI officials consider that “cultural understanding of the Middle East and radical Islamic groups, as well as the Arabic language, was unnecessary” in conducting counterterrorism investigations. Although the FBI has claimed to be “working hard to get Arabic-speaking agents,” Youssef said he has been completely sidelined since the September 11 attacks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassem_Youssef / http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/currentnews/newsarchive/2008/january2008/bassemyoussef.cfm
