In Search of Common Ground: A Conversation with Ron Wieck

A case where mature logical minds think alike?
Without doubt.
...Funny. he post more links.

:rolleyes:
Yup.

I have tried to get him to discuss via a reasoned process. (Oystein's comments similarly....) But I/we seem to be outnumbered so I will probably leave him to talk round in circles about details of unproven relevance to whatever the topic is/was/may become...

The "JAQing Ploy" is too obvious.

:D
 
Why another question? Do you feel we have addressed the first to your satisfaction?

Are you AADD?

All I see for the most part are comments that dodge the issues laced with snide remarks.

How much intelligence was there about planes being used as weapons?

Just some advice. The most intelligent person in the debate is not the one that can "bookmark" the most links. It's the one that can put them into his own words in a convincing way. So far........I'm convinced you're very good with "Google".


:rolleyes:
 
30 min, so far Jeff is not asking the right questions, he only gives talking points to Ron. Saudi fail. You could have asked him at least about Michael Moore's film, that would have winded him up...

Enough for now.


Had unexpected spare time in the train today and listened to the rest. Jeff came back to that topic and this time did a good job explaining to him why his "wall-between-the-agencies" incompetence canard is plain false.

Unsurprisingly, Ron was not familiar with the topic. He prefers to listen to his debunker friends who make the three monkeys when it comes to this topic, but continue to act all smug and pick on easy targets.

You should make s(h)ure he reads up on that and then call again. I started a thread about the "secrecykills" complex here.

The second half of the audio was more or less Ron doing amateur geopolitics, but ok, I had him more fundie in memory. Get well soon, Ron.
 
...
. This is not just a disgrace, it is in fact- the stand down. The VP is not in the military chain of command and has no authority to issue shoot down orders. ...

Amazing incompetence for those so experienced. But if one were to be kind, they would accuse them of being incompetent liars.


Stand down, does anyone still push the stand down nonsense? I was on active duty on 11 September 2001, I got no stand down orders. I don't need permission to carry out my duty as an Air Force Officer. The stand down conclusion is nonsense based on delusional logic.

The lie of a "stand down" is faulty logic, based on opinions. The VP is part of the NCA, who said he was not part of the chain?! That will not stop 911 truth nonsense.

Both movement of troops and execution of military action must be directed by the NCA;by law, no one else in the chain of command has the authority to take such action except in self-defense.

The claim of a stand down is moronic claptrap. Proved by passengers, CIVILIANS, who are basically in CHARGE of the military, took action in self-defense without orders from the President, or VP. The claim of a stand down is delusional, and if there was a stand down, there would be an order, a message, and we would have a new President on 12 September 2001. The failed stand down claim, debunked on 911.

Flight 93 Passengers can stand up and attack terrorists, the military can also take action, without orders from the VP or President, or the NCA. How can the stand down claim continue given 10 years?

Did you google all of that nonsense, or what?

Stand down? Gee, I was on active duty on 11 September 2001, and I got zero stand down orders.

You got zero orders! Which would be the same as stand down orders because you wouldn't have been able to do anything without proper orders.

And I don't need permission to carry out my duty as an Air Force Officer.

To shoot down a plane you do!

learn the facts?

Ok, so you've got the facts and you say there was a stand down. Let's presume for a moment that Bush had been able to communicate with the PEOC and issued "shoot down" authorization at 0910. What would have been different from what actually occurred?

So the proof of stand down orders is that there were no stand down orders?

Are you calling Beechnut a liar?
 
I've thought about it along the same lines as I think you are suggesting here. Although, if that was the case, why would Cheney be stuck in that position in the first place?

We know that Cheney and Bush talked on the phone prior to his first address to the nation. The subject of their conversation was about what Bush would say when he addressed the nation. No talk of any orders.

[...]

There was nothing wrong with the process. There was something wrong with people following proper proceedures.

There was some contact, sure, but we're talking about a very dynamic situation here. And W very well might have been a bit flat-footed. We all know he wasn't the sharpest President we've ever had. Literally everyone in the world would have been clamoring for his attention at that moment.

But let me clarify it for you a little bit. Members of our military are not robots. The whole situation was confusing, no matter who you were, no matter where you were. So it's entirely possible that a fighter pilot could have found himself in a position to make a snap decision, namely either destroy a civilian airliner and inflict great harm and loss of life, or do nothing and watch it inflict potentially even greater harm and loss of life. And in this situation, the pilot almost certainly would have acted, with or without orders.

This isn't like nuclear weapons release, which has tightly controlled interlocks, and it isn't a case where they had clear and unambiguous orders not to engage. In that situation, it's up to the man in the plane -- or, as it happened, the woman. We know they would have gone through with it based on conversations from pilots hunting for Flight 93, who discussed tactics even though their aircraft were unarmed.

So supposing I'm right about Cheney's motivations (I may not be), he's not really giving the pilots orders. They're going to do what they think needs doing whether they get orders or not. What Cheney is doing is telling the pilots, "do what you think is best, I'll take the heat for it."

This kind of thing happens in battle all the time, and is the hallmark of a good commander.

---

Which brings me to another question I would like people here to answer...

Would you support the release of the 28 redacted pages, as well as any and all other information as long as it does not reveal any sources or methods and is not a threat to national security?

I'm comfortable with this, sure. I don't think those 28 pages are going to show anything interesting, mind you. I just don't believe in unnecessary restrictions on information.
 
You got zero orders! Which would be the same as stand down orders because you wouldn't have been able to do anything without proper orders.
...

What a line of nonsense.

NORAD has the mission to protect the skies. Before 911 they did not fly combat patrols where airliner traffic was. Our country is surround by airspace out of bounds for all traffic with corridors for inbound and outbound traffic. If you wander into these out of bound areas, or break the rules, you get intercepted. NORAD mission includes the skies over the US, there is no need to order the USAF to do their job. You and 911 failed due to ignorance


A USAF pilot can pretty much do what they did on 911, report for duty and took off without orders from the President. If a pilot happen to be airborne with any asset, he could interfere with the terrorists goal all he wants without orders, based on defending the USA!

Did you let Balsamo post for you?

If I was airborne, I could try to do something, no orders required.


..
To shoot down a plane you do!...
Maybe you should learn the facts ;)
Nope, don't need permission to do anything. We have free will. More important, we train our pilots to exercise sound judgement, based on knowledge, something 911 truth fails to do.

Passengers on Flight 93 stood up and attacked terrorists! An AF officer can stand up and take out the terrorists. Did the Passengers ask for permission, did they have orders.

I served in the USAF for 28 years active duty; I did not need orders to to do what is right, or what is need to protect the USA. Since I was an officer, I see my oath of office and other directives as enough authority to take proper action as needed. You should read more, do more research. BTW, what you find from the evil NWO MSM is not the real answers, they are hearsay, individual interpretation.

...

SO?
Technically, VP is a member of the NCA. So? Why is the chain of command important? The cool part here, is you are saying, your "facts" are saying, the VP can't order anything. That takes care of that fact. This part of your post is worthless.
oops, wait, you now debunk, your failed debunking, and debunk yourself... or what

Holy hearsay...
If a pilot knew for sure the plane was a terrorist controlled aircraft, that pilot could take action he deems necessary. Given enough time we should clearly identify the plane, and ask for instructions. But we are still able to act as needed. On 911 the idiots who took over the cockpits would be seen easy by a pilot right next to the cockpit, we fly finger tip in training, getting close is easy, getting a visual is easy! You can present all the BS you want, you can't figure out 911 making up lies like you do, you don't care for facts, you make up lies. The lie you have now is "stand down". An idiotic lie.

Pilots right next to my plane, and they can get close enough to see you.
f4onwingAR.jpg

I think a pilot could harass the terrorists just by flying, just by flaming out an engine with some exhaust an turbulence. But then I have flown through jet engine exhaust from a distance, and up close it would be bad news. Just something to try while waiting for permission, or the need to stop the terrorists.

I wonder who gave the order for the Passengers to essentially shoot down Flt 93?

I love it, you are using news sources as facts. You understand you are using an interpretation as a quote. The quote is made up by a news guy. Makes it hearsay. Do you understand that fact?

Holy mother of facts. Now you are saying the military ignored the VP, after you said the VP can't do orders anyway. Good for you, more nonsense, worthless tripe. ... , you failed to make a point.



...
Maybe you should learn the facts ;)
Maybe you should get some facts to support your idiotic insane claim of a stand down. Show me the stand down order. Show me the message for the stand down. Good luck, so far you are fact free for your moronic stand down claim. kind of like, shot down, by the USAF, with no orders...

The summation of known facts for 911 truth, including the idiots of CIT and super pilot Balsamo. Who gave 911 truth the stand down order to avoid using reality, logic, and knowledge?

It is funny how 911 truth use random quotes, many made up out of the blue by news agencies, their interpretation of events, as their fodder for idiotic claims like the stand down lie.


Raw Story?

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/09/08/military-officials-ignored-cheneys-911-shoot-down-order/
From the article...
Proof of the terrorists killing people. No stand down...
Proof the military did not stand down, they were launched.
Proof 175 impacted the WTC! Verified by ATC/RADAR, etc. Verified by eye, and RADAR, and then you have all the video. Proof it was 175, which CIT and Balsamo say is flying over PA, and the passengers may be in witness protection. What a bunch of nuts with insane claims. The stand down order is stupid, and to make the claim sets a new standard of ignorance.
Flight 93 evidence, of Passenger revolt, a "shoot down"...
10:30, a shoot down order, kind of late, but then I don't need an order to take action on 911 -

BTW, the article has proof ATC and NORAD worked together at the worker-bee level to launch fighter... with no order, and no stand down order.

ABC News, broadcast Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011 - Raw Story is not a very good source. Why does 911 truth fail to verify what they post?

The article used to defend the insane claim of a stand down, debunks 911 truth and all the crazy claims you have tried to make. Destroys CIT and Balsamo claims.

Did shure plagiarize his massive post of woo, or is he jimd3100, SPAMMING the entire Internet with his nonsense? Is this a CT of SPAM?

And the answer is... Plagiarized
 
Last edited:
I still don't get why shootdown-order or no shootdown-order given or not given by this or that person amounts to treason.

Shure, please re-read ozeco's posts, and try to heed his advice: First make a concise case, so we know what you are talking about!

Then show that your premises are
a) true
b) relevant (i.e. changing them would have led to a significantly different outcome; in this case: At least one plane would have been shot down)

If you can't do that, there is no debate topic worthy my time.
 
Shure seems to reason under the following premises (among others):
  1. It is illegal for the US armed forces under 2001 standard operating procedures / standung orders to shoot down a hijacked civilain airliner
  2. It is legal for the President or the SoD to order the shoot-down of a hijacked domestic civilian airliner
  3. No-one else in the chain of command has the authority to order the shoot-down of a civilian airliner
  4. Bush and Rumsfeld had a legal obligation to give a shoot-down order

These are 4 distinct legal opinions, and I think all 4 are more or less questionable. Some, if not all, are probably not yet objectively established as either being true or false, for lack of a law or a final judicial decision pertaining to them. So we are all free to have our personal and humble opinions.

If German law were applicable, then #1 and #3 would be correct, and #2 and #4 would be false. I know this because the German Constitutional Court, our pentant of the Supreme Court, has made a final decision on a law that explicitly would have allowed the political leadership to authorize the shoot-down of a hijacked airliner if it had been determined that the same was about to be used as a weapon. Such a law was proposed by the Minister for the Interior, Wolfgang Schäuble, a few years ago in reaction to 9/11, and voted into Law by the German federal legislative. Someone called the Constitutional Court which immediately and summarily tossed it out on grounds of protecting the Dignity of humans: The State cannot make conscious decisions to kill one set of innocent non-combattants in order to potentially save another set of people. Human lives can never legally be under the disposition of the State.

In the USA, I would guess that
#1 is false - while there were in 2001 no SOP to deal with such a situation, I think NORAD could have interpreted its mission and SOP as authorizing them to shoot down if they determined America was under attack, without recourse to the CiC
#2 is true, if #1 is false, and probably false, if #1 is true
#3 is void of sense if the truth values for #1 and #2 are unequal, which they most probably are.
#4 is false - there is no law or legal principle that would demand a specific course of action

As a set, Shure's premises are almost certainly FALSE.
 
I was on active duty on 11 September 2001, I got no stand down orders.

Here beachnut is falsely implying that "shure" is claiming a stand down order was issued. When in fact the opposite is true, when it comes to orders issued.

Then beachnut falsely implies that any pilot in the USAF can kill as many civilians on commercial aircraft as he deems necessary. Lol! No, he doesn't need orders to kill civilians, babies, and defenseless women on a commercial aircraft. The 9-11 commission, not to mention common sense disagree with you.

I don't need permission to carry out my duty as an Air Force Officer. The stand down conclusion is nonsense based on delusional logic.

In fact they were specifically told they had negative clearance to shoot. I can't post links so google the quote yourself from the 9-11 commission report....

"At 10:10, the pilots over Washington were emphatically told "negative clearance to shoot." Shootdown authority was first communicated to NEADS at 10:31."

The lie of a "stand down" is faulty logic, based on opinions.

The lies are from you, saying that we are suggesting a stand down order, and another lie, is you suggesting pilots didn't need shoot down orders, and even though told by their commander "negative clearance to shoot", they could still shoot as they pleased, and another lie is saying the VP is in the chain of command and part of the NCA.

The VP is part of the NCA, who said he was not part of the chain?! That will not stop 911 truth nonsense.

Your own document of this refutes you, along with the 9-11 commission. You never posted a link to your source of your quote and here is why...if you did we would have seen this.....


a. National Command Authorities (NCA)

(1) Constitutionally, the ultimate authority and responsibility for the national defense rests with the President.

(2) Since passage of the National Security Act of 1947, the President has used his Secretary of Defense as his principal assistant in all matters relating to the Department of Defense. The Secretary is responsible for the effective, efficient, and economical operation of the Department of Defense, and he has statutory authority, direction, and control over the military departments.

(3) The National Command Authorities (NCA) are the President and Secretary of Defense or persons acting lawfully in their stead. The term NCA is used to signify constitutional authority to direct the Armed Forces in their execution of military action. Both movement of troops and execution of military action must be directed by the NCA; by law, no one else in the chain of command has the authority to take such action except in self-defense.

b. National Security Council (NSC). The National Security Council was established by the National Security Act of 1947 as the principal forum to consider national security issues that require Presidential decision. Its membership now includes only four statutory members: the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) and the Director of Central Intelligence serve as statutory advisers to the NSC. The history of the NSC and its organization are discussed in Chapter 5.

I can't post links because I haven't wasted enough of my time here pointing out how dishonest you are, because I think it's boring and annoying.

You will probably continue with your dishonesty and say the VP was in the NSC which is the same thing...it isn't. Or say the VP was lawfully "in their stead", He wasn't. He was never the commander in chief on 9-11.

Therefore, the secretary of defense plays a critical role in the oversight of military action. He or she answers to the president, and in turn guides military action along two lines of authority.

Confirmed again by the 9-11 commission.....

"Prior to 9/11, it was understood that an order to shoot down a commercial aircraft would have to be issued by the National Command Authority (a phrase used to describe the president and secretary of defense)."

9-11 commission:

In interviews with us, NEADS personnel expressed considerable confusion over the nature and effect of the order.

The NEADS commander told us he did not pass along the order because he was unaware of its ramifications. Both the mission commander and the senior weapons director indicated they did not pass the order to the fighters circling Washington and New York because they were unsure how the pilots would, or should, proceed with this guidance. In short, while leaders in Washington believed that the fighters above them had been instructed to "take out" hostile aircraft, the only orders actually conveyed to the pilots were to "ID type and tail."

In most cases, the chain of command authorizing the use of force runs from the president to the secretary of defense and from the secretary to the combatant commander. The President apparently spoke to Secretary Rumsfeld for the first time that morning shortly after 10:00. No one can recall the content of this conversation, but it was a brief call in which the subject of shootdown authority was not discussed.

"At 10:10, the pilots over Washington were emphatically told "negative clearance to shoot." Shootdown authority was first communicated to NEADS at 10:31."

Here beachnut falsely tries to imply some connection to Pilots for no plane at the pentagon and CIT.....

Did you let Balsamo post for you?

When the only people who pay any attention to Pilots for No plane crash at the pentagon and CIT are fruitcakes and some people on a jref forum.

As fun as all that is, I find it much more interesting that the President got away with protecting foreign nationals who were involved in the 9-11 attacks that killed 3000 Americans. Conducting a cover up of those involved in the 9-11 attacks makes him a traitor who has committed treason, and is deliberately keeping important information on the attack of 9-11 from us. And it continues. You seem to support the government in keeping it's citizens in the dark as much as possible. At the same time the President was protecting his Saudi buddies the Administration was working with their Saudi buddies trying to convince Americans to attack Iraq. It's treason.

But, it turns out, two days before the president told Powell, Cheney and Rumsfeld had already briefed Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador.

"Saturday, Jan. 11, with the president's permission, Cheney and Rumsfeld call Bandar to Cheney's West Wing office, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Myers, is there with a top-secret map of the war plan. And it says, 'Top secret. No foreign.' No foreign means no foreigners are supposed to see this," says Woodward.

"They describe in detail the war plan for Bandar. And so Bandar, who's skeptical because he knows in the first Gulf War we didn't get Saddam out, so he says to Cheney and Rumsfeld, 'So Saddam this time is gonna be out, period?' And Cheney - who has said nothing - says the following: 'Prince Bandar, once we start, Saddam is toast.'"
- 60 minutes program

You blindly follow your leaders no matter where they lead you or what they tell you and keep from you. You like being manipulated by those in power.

But an official who has read the report tells The New Republic that the support described in the report goes well beyond that: It involves connections between the hijacking plot and the very top levels of the Saudi royal family. "There's a lot more in the 28 pages than money. Everyone's chasing the charities," says this official. "They should be chasing direct links to high levels of the Saudi government. We're not talking about rogue elements. We're talking about a coordinated network that reaches right from the hijackers to multiple places in the Saudi government."

For his part, Bush has insisted that revealing the 28 pages would compromise "sources and methods that would make it harder for us to win the war on terror." But the chairman and vice-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time of the joint inquiry, Florida Democrat Bob Graham and Alabama Republican Richard Shelby, rejected that argument, contending that perhaps only 5 percent of the 28 pages would compromise national security if made public. Graham and Shelby are leading a drive in Congress to force the government to declassify the documents.

Quick question: Ever hear of a guy named Alexander Haig?

I've always felt that's what Cheney was doing -- he knew he wasn't authorized by the book to give a shoot-down order, but comms were down, the clock was ticking, and by George something needed doing. If he winds up facing the music later for exceeding his authority, so be it.

I despise Cheney, but if this is what he was doing, I actually respect him for it.

As it happened, of course, there was no shoot-down, so the whole thing was a wash. Leaving the pertinent question of "how can we improve our processes / comms so this never happens again?" That's certainly worth looking into. Not really a conspiracy, though.

Man, some of y'all should just lighten up.

I don't believe in a LIHOP-style coverup or that airliners were shot down, and I don't personally feel like rearguing it all, but you'll have to admit this is a MUCH saner discussion than ones about death rays and nanotermites. This is progress.

I agree. Mr. Hill should be congratulated for having a calm, sane conversation with a debunker conducted with respect and without acrimony. How often have we had something like that from either side of the controversy?

I downloaded the talk to my I-Pod last night and have listened to most of the first hour and will listen to the rest of it today. From what I've heard so far, it's mostly Ron discoursing and Mr. Hill listening respectfully and interjecting a few comments.

Again let me congratulate Mr. Hill for his courtesy and his respect for the opposite point of view.
 
Here beachnut is falsely implying that "shure" is claiming a stand down order was issued. When in fact the opposite is true, when it comes to orders issued.
shure plagarized your post, way over yonder, and in that massive post of illogically poppycock -
Was there a stand down on 9-11? In a sense yes, but there is no evidence that a stand down order was issued. There would be no reason for VP Cheney to issue a stand down order, since he issuing a shoot down order, would have the same effect. I will proceed to show this as a fact along with the disturbing fact that the President of the United States, and the Secretary of Defense, both deserted their posts in a time of war. These two individuals who are the only ones authorized to issue shoot down orders of civilian aircraft, created the stand down, by deserting their posts, and then further disgraced themselves, and their offices, by lying to the American people.(use google to find this junk)
, no it is worse, you guys imply since it was not issued, it was issued. A step into nonsense and delusional logic.

Then beachnut falsely implies that any pilot in the USAF can kill as many civilians on commercial aircraft as he deems necessary. Lol! No, he doesn't need orders to kill civilians, babies, and defenseless women on a commercial aircraft. The 9-11 commission, not to mention common sense disagree with you.
Who gave the Passengers the order to take down 93 (this fact, that event, that action, destroys your can't shoot down without permission nonsense, and I would not shoot down, unless needed, I would stop them if I can - just like the Passengers on Flight 93 did). A possible outcome of attacking terrorists, crashing the plane. Who gave the Passengers authority? My oath of office is broad enough to cover stopping the terrorists from their goal. When others sit in front of the closed door, I open it, and enter. Go ahead, sit in front of the door, make up nonsense. You failed to make a point, you spread nonsense based on political biases.



In fact they were specifically told they had negative clearance to shoot. I can't post links so google the quote yourself from the 9-11 commission report....
Who said so? Funny, I have had negative clearance, and I still did what I wanted. How do you stop the guy with at the pointy end of the stick when you are on the other end of the radio? This is classic nonsense. You appear to think the military are bots controled by other bots.





The lies are from you, saying that we are suggesting a stand down order, and another lie, is you suggesting pilots didn't need shoot down orders, and even though told by their commander "negative clearance to shoot", they could still shoot as they pleased, and another lie is saying the VP is in the chain of command and part of the NCA.
The VP is part of the NCA, but then your google knowledge stops at hearsay sources. No problem, you just keep using your google sources. On 911 there was not time for the military in the field to worry about what the NCA was going to do, it was emergency time, field commanders can take action as needed based on their knowledge of the event at hand. If I find terrorists in a cockpit, I will harass that plane, and if the terrorists act like the ones who murdered on 93, then they will most likely panic and crash after I flame out their engines with my AB exhaust, and if not, I will make it hard to see etc, give hand signals to passengers, etc.

Your own document of this refutes you, along with the 9-11 commission. You never posted a link to your source of your quote and here is why...if you did we would have seen this.....
I ask who said he was not part of the chain. You make up lies and go on because you are upset the VP is part of the NCA, but you have no clue because you are using filtered sources, and I will not waste time posting sources for someone who thinks posting here is a waste of time, when you SPAM massive amounts of nonsense which showed up here anyway since you are too busy to waste time here making up illogical "stand down" because the VP said "shoot down" nonsense. All so you bash bush, and make up more nonsense.



I can't post links because I haven't wasted enough of my time here pointing out how dishonest you are, because I think it's boring and annoying.
Don't let that stop you from making up junk.

You will probably continue with your dishonesty and say the VP was in the NSC which is the same thing...it isn't. Or say the VP was lawfully "in their stead", He wasn't. He was never the commander in chief on 9-11.
Where is the NSC? There is a NSC? lol, you are so funny... you think military commanders and soldiers in the field need authority to do everything before they do it. 911 was an emergency, no need for orders, you can ask for help, but that is a sign of weakness... etc.

Confirmed again by the 9-11 commission.....
"in turn guides" SecDef? Who cares, there was no time to ask SecDef what do I do. Confirm away.



9-11 commission:
So you say I can't shoot down a threat to the USA? because of this? Your failed logic is showing and, hate to say it, debunks your nonsense completely and without hesitation or mental reservation. Nice try, but you are quote mining away, quote mining away, the more you make up nonsesnes, you the more you need to quote mine away...
Prior to 9/11, it was understood that an order to shoot down a commercial aircraft would have to be issued by the National Command Authority (a phrase used to describe the president and secretary of defense). Exercise planners also assumed that the aircraft would originate from outside the United States, allowing time to identify the target and scramble interceptors. The threat of terrorists hijacking commercial airliners within the United States-and using them as guided missiles-was not recognized by NORAD before 9/11
On 911, the need to get NCA permission was negated due to emergency and the very nature that the hijacked aircraft were not hijacked aircraft, but weapons of mass destruction. Your own NWO sources shot you down. Not to worry.



Here beachnut falsely tries to imply some connection to Pilots for no plane at the pentagon and CIT.....
No, I imply your logic is worse than Balsamo and CIT. Let me make it clear, your logic is worse than Balsamo and CIT.

I am now a fruitcake, or related to being like one, chewy and sweet. I like it.

As fun as all that is, I find it much more interesting that the President got away with protecting foreign nationals who were involved in the 9-11 attacks that killed 3000 Americans. Conducting a cover up of those involved in the 9-11 attacks makes him a traitor who has committed treason, and is deliberately keeping important information on the attack of 9-11 from us. And it continues. You seem to support the government in keeping it's citizens in the dark as much as possible. At the same time the President was protecting his Saudi buddies the Administration was working with their Saudi buddies trying to convince Americans to attack Iraq. It's treason.
... from failed logic to silly political nonsense.

- 60 minutes program
What does Saddam have to do with 911? Nothing. We were going to take out Saddam for shooting at our planes; remember the first gulf war? Saddam was shooting at me, he was not nice; but he has nothing more than indifference, took no action to keep terrorists from attacking us. We call this mission creep or something, where the topic is nuts who make up lies about 911, and then you are going off talking about other topics.

You blindly follow your leaders no matter where they lead you or what they tell you and keep from you. You like being manipulated by those in power.
What are you talking about?

When it comes to money, UBL knew funding for his end run, using our own planes against us, would be below the RADAR. It is common for Saudi people to get funding to live from Saudi people. Flight training would not raise flags, the United States is a great place to learn to fly before 911. Not sure how funding from Saudi sources proves the sources knew about the plot. Would be like you loaning money to your friend to buy stuff, then you learn McVeigh used your money to buy 4,000 pounds of fertilizer; after the bombing in OKC. If a Saudi knew of the plot and he is found out, he will loose his head. A Saudi shot at American troops during the gulf war; he was executed the next day. You are drifting into political nonsense.

Really?

I thought you were retired at that time.

I was on active duty on 911, an active flier. I flew the on 912, and 913. I flew to OR, go ducks, to pick up someone from my unit stuck due to the no commercial plane ban. I was a liaison officer to CAP. CAP stood up and flew missions to move blood products and medical supplies that normally were flown by civilian airliners, which were grounded for days. I could have flown on 911, but I was >2000 miles away, and the plane I flew would not go faster than 200 mph... No stand down order was issued. Proved by the fact fighters were launched by the worker bees, no need for NCA.

The overall point I got from shure and jimd. Since the VP issued a shoot down order, there was a stand down order implied, so they can back in political junk. ... I thought 911 truth logic was the worse, then some political poppycock jumps out.

So it's entirely possible that a fighter pilot could have found himself in a position to make a snap decision, namely either destroy a civilian airliner and inflict great harm and loss of life, or do nothing and watch it inflict potentially even greater harm and loss of life. And in this situation, the pilot almost certainly would have acted, with or without orders.

Military pilots act according to the procedures set in place. They would not, in this instance, shoot down a plane without receiving the proper orders.

"Vice President Dick Cheney was ignored by the military, which saw his order to shoot down aircraft as outside the chain of command".

So supposing I'm right about Cheney's motivations (I may not be), he's not really giving the pilots orders. They're going to do what they think needs doing whether they get orders or not. What Cheney is doing is telling the pilots, "do what you think is best, I'll take the heat for it."

Again,

I'm comfortable with this, sure. I don't think those 28 pages are going to show anything interesting, mind you. I just don't believe in unnecessary restrictions on information.

That is great to hear!

It would show a lot about the Saudi involvement and financing of the 9/11 plot.

Connections leading all the way up to high levels of the Saudi Royal family including Bush's buddy, Bandar's wife, Princess Haifa bint Faisal, who is the sister of Prince Turki al-Faisal, the head of Saudi intelligence at the time.

Princess Haifa was funneling money to the wife of Omar Basnan, who was then signing over the checks to the wife of Saudi agent Omar al-Bayoumi, who was helping two of the hijackers, Alhazmi and Almihdhar, and introduced them to the FBI informant Abdussattar Shaikh in San Diego, who's house they ended up living at.

All this being covered up by Bush...

"footnote 194 - The OIG was not able to interview the asset. The Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry had attempted to interview the asset without success. The Committee then submitted interrogatories that the asset declined to answer, asserting his Fifth Amendment privilege. The asset indicated through his attorney that if subpoenaed by the Committee, he would not testify without a grant of immunity."
http://www.fas.org/irp/agency/doj/oig/fbi-911/chap5.pdf

"The Administration has to date objected to the Inquiry’s efforts to interview the informant in order to attempt to resolve those inconsistencies. The Administration also would not agree to allow the FBI to serve a Committee subpoena and deposition notice on the informant. Instead, written interrogatories from the Joint Inquiry were, at the suggestion of the FBI, provided to the informant. Through an attorney, the informant has declined to respond to those interrogatories and has indicated that, if subpoenaed, the informant would request a grant of immunity prior to testifying." page 51/858
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/serialset/creports/pdf/fullreport_errata.pdf

"In July 2003, the asset was given a $100,000 payment and closed as an asset." {footnote number 197}

"John Lehman thought that he asked some of the tougher questions of Bush during the session, especially about the possibility of Saudi government ties to some of the hijackers. Lehman recalled asking Bush about the news reports that checks for thousands of dollars written by the wife of Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador in Washington, might have been funneled to two of the hijackers in San Diego. "

He dodged the questions,"
said Lehman.

Why would Bush cover up for Saudi Arabia???

Sorry, but no.

As it happened nobody ever had a clear ID or a clear shot at a hijacked aircraft, so the question never arose. But had this occurred, and had there been no time or ability to get clear orders, they almost surely would have acted.

Talk to some service members sometime.

That is great to hear!

I rather doubt it. The amount of "financing" required for 9/11 was pitiful. I could have financed it.

At most, I expect it might show some kind of shady business deal Bush was involved in that had nothing to do with 9/11, but that he thought might get accidentally discovered/publicized anyway.

Just because it was redacted doesn't mean they're automatically guilty. There's several logical steps missing, quite extraordinary ones.

But, like I said, I don't believe in censoring information without a darn good reason.

shure, you are incorrect. Military pilots are human beings. They can, and often do, disobey orders. There has even been a longstanding tradition of Military Officers disobeying orders and doing what they felt best. Start with Patton and McArthur in WWII and work your way on down.

I say this as a military veteran. Think of a saying I have often heard in the military: "Sometimes it's better to beg forgiveness, than ask permission"

BS from raw story. Got the original quote? Your claim based on an opinion from raw story. Google up some more nonsense. This does not mean anything, no matter what the source is.

I would never tell the VP I ignored him, it might get me a trip to the ER to remove buckshot.

... we have two AF pilots, and some veterns who say they could take action. You say no action, pilots and veterns say action.


The money part is funny, this was murder on the cheap. Pilot learning to fly in the USA was not a big deal. The big money item, small knives? Room and board? I don't understand why you guys are not in the FBI and CIA catching all the bad guys and stopping all the terrorist attacks since you guys know everything based on hearsay from raw story and google.

Flt training - 10,000 plus bucks/nut pilot
room and board - 2,000 buck/nut/month
small knives - 5 bucks

Finding 19 idiots to murder Americans - the promise of 72 virgins in the after life

I still would like for Shure toi return to the start of whatever debate topic he wishes to pursue, and state and discuss his base premises and make claims from them.

Somehow this all started in the middle with little structure...

Agreed - the discussion is about "side issues" as it stands.

He seems to be claiming there should have been a "shoot-down".

I would still like to see his time line for the decision including what should have been shot down and why. Also his "risk analysis" of the "shoot down" and "don't shoot down" options. (I'll still accept the simplified version at this stage.)
 
no it is worse, you guys imply since it was not issued, it was issued. A step into nonsense and delusional logic.

No, you tell lies and make things up. We don't imply a shoot down order was not issued. We say it was not issued by the NCA. We say that because the 9-11 commission reported it. We say the President and the Sec of defense deserted their posts on 9-11. And never issued shoot down orders leaving Cheney to do that and contrary to what you continue to lie about he was not part of the military chain of command or the NCA.

9-11 Commission:
"Prior to 9/11, it was understood that an order to shoot down a commercial aircraft would have to be issued by the National Command Authority (a phrase used to describe the president and secretary of defense)."

Goldberg: What about authorization to shoot down United #93? Did that come from the Vice President?
Rumsfeld: Technically, it couldn't, because the Vice President is not in the chain of command.

MR. HAMILTON: I just want to clarify a few things
after listening to all this testimony. It's not all that clear
to me. As of September 11th, only the president had the
authority to order a shootdown of a commercial aircraft.

GEN. ARNOLD: That's correct, sir.


Who gave the Passengers the order to take down 93

Hey genius the passengers also are not part of the military chain of command nor the NCA and do not need authorization for self defense.

Who said so? Funny, I have had negative clearance, and I still did what I wanted.

The 9-11 commission report said so. Maybe you should try reading it sometime. You lie and say your commander telling you that you have negative clearance to shoot means you have clearance to murder civilians. You tell blatant and ridiculous lies.

9-11 commission:
“At 10:10, the pilots over Washington were emphatically told “negative clearance to shoot.

LOL! According to you that means you have authority to shoot down any commercial airliner you want to. LOL!

You appear to think the military are bots controled by other bots.

I have served in two different branches of the military so I know you are full of ◊◊◊◊ when you say commanding officers orders mean nothing.

The VP is part of the NCA, but then your google knowledge stops at hearsay sources.

You tell lies. My "hearsay sources" are the 9-11 commission report. You might want to read it. You support CIT and Pilots for no plane at the pentagon. They agree with you that the 9-11 commission report is hearsay. Do you pass out their DVDs as well?

No problem, you just keep using your google sources.

My sources are the 9-11 commission report and the joint inquiry along with official investigation reports and MSM news articles. There is no such thing as a "google source". You tell lies because of your political bias that you desperately try to project onto others.


On 911 there was not time for the military in the field to worry about what the NCA was going to do, it was emergency time, field commanders can take action as needed based on their knowledge of the event at hand.

Not on 9-11. There were standing operating procedures that have since been modified. Try reading the 9-11 commission report.


I ask who said he was not part of the chain

You've already been told that the 9-11 commission said, and Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swann also say it to name 2 sources, Rumsfeld himself would be a third source but you are to deep in your lies to acknowledge so you continue to spew forth BS and nonsense.


You make up lies and go on because you are upset the VP is part of the NCA,

Shouldn't you be telling the 9-11 commission about that? Or Rumsfeld? Or Summers and Swann? Maybe instead of everyone being wrong but you perhaps you are the one that doesn't know what he is talking about? But you do know. You know you are lying because you refused to provide a link to your quote because if you did it would show that you are lying.

I will not waste time posting sources for someone who thinks posting here is a waste of time,

LOL!!

All so you bash bush, and make up more nonsense.

LOL..bash Bush. Maybe being a boot licker for political authority has made you politically bias? I'm not the one saying Bush conducted a cover up, The Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee is the one saying it......

Sen. Graham: Bush covered up Saudi involvement in 9/11

I go further than Graham and call him a traitor. I can do that because I'm not a politician. And I don't care if your brainwashed mind can't handle it.

Where is the NSC? There is a NSC?

Yes, it is explained in the link you refuse to show. You refuse to show it because it shows you lie.


you think military commanders and soldiers in the field need authority to do everything before they do it.

Is that what I think? Is that your conspiracy theory? I served in two different branches of the military. I know the difference between a legal authorized order, and an illegal order, and so do the Generals of NORAD which is why they refused to pass on Cheney's order. I also understand the military chain of command. You should to, which is how I know you deliberately tell lies.


So you say I can't shoot down a threat to the USA? because of this?

Not on 9-11.

MR. HAMILTON: I just want to clarify a few things
after listening to all this testimony. It's not all that clear
to me. As of September 11th, only the president had the
authority to order a shootdown of a commercial aircraft.
GEN. ARNOLD: That's correct, sir.
MR. HAMILTON: And today who has the authority?
GEN. MCKINLEY: We see the president delegated to the
secretary of Defense, delegated to the combatant commander of
Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Command, and
there are emergency authorities if that fails.
MR. HAMILTON: So you have the authority?
GEN. MCKINLEY: Yes, sir, and others.
MR. HAMILTON: And how many others?
GEN. MCKINLEY: I prefer not to say in this forum, sir,
but I can provide it for the record.
MR. HAMILTON: And you do not have to go up the chain
of command at all in the event of a --
GEN. MCKINLEY: We certainly will try, we will make
every effort to try.
MR. HAMILTON: I'm sure you would. But you don't have
to?
GEN. MCKINLEY: In an emergency situation we can take
appropriate action, yes, sir.

You see, that wasn't the case on 9-11 procedures have changed.

9-11 Commission:
"Prior to 9/11, it was understood that an order to shoot down a commercial aircraft would have to be issued by the National Command Authority (a phrase used to describe the president and secretary of defense)."


On 911, the need to get NCA permission was negated due to emergency and the very nature that the hijacked aircraft were not hijacked aircraft, but weapons of mass destruction. Your own NWO sources shot you down. Not to worry.

No, my "NWO sources" confirm what I am saying which is why I quote them. But since you lie, you call the sources "google sources" and "quote mining" LOL, pathetic.

No, I imply your logic is worse than Balsamo and CIT. Let me make it clear, your logic is worse than Balsamo and CIT.

Are you a secret member of pilots for no plane crash at the pentagon? You seem to have a lot in common.

... from failed logic to silly political nonsense.

I don't think treason is silly.

Prince Bandar, the head of the Saudi national security council, and son of the crown prince, was alleged in court to be the man behind the threats to hold back information about suicide bombers and terrorists. He faces accusations that he himself took more than £1bn in secret payments from the arms company BAE.

Think his name might be in those 28 pages Bush wont let you see? Are you afraid to find out? Would you like to see his interview with the 9/11 commission? To bad.

Due to your political bias and insatiable desire to lick the boots of authority you think propaganda and manipulation by political powers are a good thing and are more than happy to do your little part to make the USA another banana republic with no accountability to political figures who lie to the American people. And keep information from them under the FALSE guise of "National Security".
 
I would really appreciate some feedback from people about what Ron and I discussed.

Thanks for your time!

;)

I'm not sure what you're asking.

Would you like us to admit politicians lie and cover-up things?

Well of course they do.

If an informant housed two of the terrorists, yet won't be interviewed do you think that equates to inside jobby job?

If they screwed up the "Shoot down" order, does that mean they were "in on it"?

Not totally clear on what this has to do with 9/11 conspiracies, if you want to discuss deceitful politicians, specifically American ones, you're in the wrong sub-forum. I suggest you go here.
 
Was there a stand down on 9-11? In a sense yes, but there is no evidence that a stand down order was issued. There would be no reason for VP Cheney to issue a stand down order, since he issuing a shoot down order, would have the same effect. I will proceed to show this as a fact along with the disturbing fact that the President of the United States, and the Secretary of Defense, both deserted their posts in a time of war. These two individuals who are the only ones authorized to issue shoot down orders of civilian aircraft, created the stand down, by deserting their posts, and then further disgraced themselves, and their offices, by lying to the American people.

Total poppycock. Will not be a Pulitzer Prize for paranoid junk like this. This is typical of people who quote mine and cherry pick their way to delusional claims of treason.

This kind of junk come from paranoid people; people so paranoid they claim they are exposing fraud, when they are speading fraud. So Paranoid they claim the mainstream media is controlled, but they can't say who controls the media as they spread their delusions. They also quote famous people to coverup their fraud, their biases, their nonsense. Then they call you Bootlickers etc, shills, etc, out of failure, to coverup their nonsense.

They can't figure out 911 and come up with more nonsense.

Why you should be a 9/11 truther even if you don't believe the Government carried out the attacks.

Let's say you go along with the idea that WTC 7 collapsed because of normal fires, and Hani Hanjour went from an incompetent idiot to a highly skilled pilot, and 9/11 was carried out by 19 arab terrorists working for Osama Bin Laden. You should still join forces with the 9/11 truth movement and here's why.

Because the government is still to blame, and you are still being constantly lied to. Nothing was done to prevent these attacks. No one has been held responsible for massive errors that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Americans and consequently hundreds of thousands of deaths of human beings since then.
They blame other people for the actions of terrorists, out of ignorance.

We are the government, if you don't like the government, you don't like yourself; now what will you do.

When someone kills me, it was who fault? The people who killed me, or some scapegoat that satisfies our political biases? lol, these paranoid people remind me of McVeigh, not firing on all eight.


I never thought logic could get worse than the 911 truth standard as seen with CIT and Balsamo, etal. Then I see the stand down junk in this thread. We have delusional claim of a stand down because Cheney said shoot down! Cool, 911 truthers, hiding as investigators or people who say no one knows what happened on 911, come up with the most delusional version of logic I have seen yet. Maybe.

Anti-war stuff mixed with 911 truth junk = failure. Keep anti-war stuff clean. Here anti-war stuff forces the paranoid to make up nonsense out of desperation. Why can't people get their representatives to take action back in 2002? Too late, as these few paranoid people fight the last lost cause, or valid cause. Being a veteran, I think anti-war protest is good. Making up delusional claims of treason, not good.

Jones did not find thermite, no need to debunk. Jones made it up. It is true, if you had real evidence you would have a Pulitzer.

17:35, shure is not cured

19:30, 15 of 19 Saudi. Some spoiled Saudis did 911. McVeigh did OKC. Gee, what does it mean? Why would you go attack Saudi Aribia when the Saudis would execute the 19 terrorists for plotting 911?
McVeigh was born in Lockport, New York, when do we attack Lockport?

27:56 I thought UBL had bought the jets and loaded them with explosives. Why did I think explosives on 911, because I did not know the impact speed, which made the impacts equal to 1300 and 2000 pound of TNT in kinetic energy. It is ironic, since the terrorist flew, we had their names, and where to look for what they left behind. An easy investigation to figure out who did it; the people on the jet who had no relative looking for them.

..Mr Walters was not aware of his context. You and I are fully aware of the context for this thread topic.

When you ask truther trolls to be precise in what they are claiming getting no response is a fair indication that your questions were:

Spot on target; AND
Not what the TT wanted to answer.

...so I count it as "success" - coz' I know what the answers should be :D



Edit: PS I also think that all of this "implied but not quite stated 'we should have shot down the planes'" is both politically and practically unrealistic and benefiting from uncritical use of 20/20 hindsight.

You know what the answers shoukld be? Frankly, I don't know. My questions are largely about law: What the laws were (legal arguments), or should have been (political arguments), and such questions always leave room for differing opinions and more fathoming. So if they do get arounbd to answering my questions, or presenting premises and claims, they ought to indicate what they consider to be facts, and what they only offer as opinion.

I disagree with the PS: If they employed 20/20 hindsight, they'd know that issuing or not issuing a shoot-down or a stand-down order would not have made any difference at all.

Easy there Rambo!

Is the 9/11 Commission, Joint Intelligence Inquiry and MSM sources poppycock?

You're the one that believes a phone call happened that there is no evidence for and the 9/11 Commission staff doesn't even believe happened!

You're the one that quote mines and cherry picks. You even go as far as to makes stuff up! You don't need follow orders, you can just do whatever you want eh beachnut? I guess you missed the part in bootcamp where they teach you the importance of following orders!

Why would you go attack Saudi Aribia

"delusional claims of treason"???

"Saturday, Jan. 11, with the president's permission, Cheney and Rumsfeld call Bandar to Cheney's West Wing office, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Myers, is there with a top-secret map of the war plan. And it says, 'Top secret. No foreign.' No foreign means no foreigners are supposed to see this," says Woodward.

"Tenet develops a habit of meeting with Bandar at his home near Washington about once a month. But CIA officers handling Saudi issues complain that Tenet doesn’t tell them what he discusses with Bandar. Often they are only able to learn about Tenet’s deals with the Saudis later and through Saudi contacts, not from their own boss. Tenet also makes one of his closest aides the chief of the CIA station in Saudi Arabia. This aide often communicates directly with Tenet, avoiding the usual chain of command. Apparently as a favor to the Saudis, CIA analysts are discouraged from writing reports raising questions about the Saudi relationship to Islamic extremists."
