The Navy Command Center was the Target of the Attack...on the Pentagon

The Navy Command Center was the Target
of the Attack...on the Pentagon



“The US Authorities have tried to make believe that the damage caused to
the Pentagon, on September 11, 2001 was caused by the crash of a
hijacked Boeing airliner on the building.  This lie was meant to hide
the fact that a bombing attack was in fact carried out by a group of
people who had authorized access to the Pentagon and that the target
was not the Department of Defense in general but the new Navy Command
Center.”

Why might someone want to target the Naval Command Center (NCC)?

Most people know of the NORAD “all seeing” defensive network, with radar
and satellite capabilities.  But in their shadow, the NCC also was a
very formidable command and control facility, with some overlapping
capacities.  The site of the attack occurred on the first floor at the
Naval Command Center portion of the Pentagon.  The facility was a
powerhouse of information gathering, command and control, and systems
for monitoring “all warfare mission areas.”
 


Starting in 1996 the Navy was implementing an upgrade; 
The Tactical Command System (TCS) upgrades the Navy’s Command Control, 
Computer and Intelligence (C3I) systems and processes C3I information for all 
warfare mission areas including planning, direction and reconstruction of 
missions for peacetime, wartime and times of crises.  Included among these 
C3I systems are: the unified command centers of CINCPAC and CINCLANT, 
the Navy Command Center…[i] [Emphasis added]
 



The only U.S. Navy Command Center survivor, Lieutenant Kevin
Schaeffer, claimed: “Had the Command Center not been destroyed it surely
would have been able to provide the highest levels of our Navy leadership
with updates as to exactly what was occurring.”[ii]


If someone wanted to silence any evidence or witnesses that had privy
knowledge of what happened on 9/11 — there were two choices; either they
were with the perpetrators and cooperated, or they weren’t and had to be
destroyed.  This might have made the NCC a prime target if the Navy
wasn’t in on the neocon’s Attack on America.  However, there is no
evidence that the Navy was directly involved.


The Office of Naval Intelligence had its offices in the Naval
Command Center.


A theory proposed by Tom Wilson may have deep roots in the Pentagon, and
involves Israeli espionage.  The Office of Naval Intelligence may have
had incriminating evidence on Israeli espionage.  When Pollard’s
activities were exposed — he was convicted of spying for Israel
from 1984 through 1985.  The following individuals were suspected
by then-Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger’s office of the
general counsel of being co-conspirators:


Douglas Feith – worked at the Pentagon from March 1984 to September 1986
as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Negotiations Policy.


John Lehman – worked at the Pentagon as the Secretary of the Navy from
1981 to 1987.


Richard Perle – worked at the Pentagon as Assistant Secretary of Defense
for International Security Policy from 1981 to 1987.


Paul Wolfowitz – worked at the State Department as Assistant Secretary
of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs from 1982 to 1986.


The “spy ring” returns…


Pollard obtained classified material from his workplace in Suitland,
Maryland, just a few miles from Washington DC.  Furthermore, like
Pollard — Perle also has passed secrets to Israel.  In 1970, Perle was
caught by the FBI passing secrets to the Israeli Embassy in Washington
DC.[iii]


When George W. Bush became President, he appointed these conspirators to
high-level Pentagon jobs (makes you wonder, who is Bush’s real master).

Feith – was appointed Under Secretary of Defense for Policy.


John Lehman – worked on the 9/11 Commission (setup by the Bush
Administration).


Perle – was appointed Chairman of the Defense Policy Board.


Wolfowitz – was appointed Deputy Secretary of Defense.


Mike Vreeland of Office of Naval Intelligence, stated that:


Certain government officials — politicians, brass, and high ranking
military — have 11th Amendment privileges and can’t be sued.
Another government agency has to go investigate activities connected to
weapons smuggling, organized crime, and drug trafficking.  They use their
power to break laws, and we’re not allowed to investigate them.  Thus
certain parts of the U.S. government designed an entity called
Unofficial Intelligence Investigation Division (UID).  It was designed by
Adm. Jeremy Michael Boorda, who allegedly committed suicide.  Boorda put
this together prior to becoming CNO [Chief of Naval Operations].  He was
not a bad guy.25


It appears the Navy was trying to keep “tabs of” illegal spying
activities, in an attempt to control it, and some didn’t like
that!


Were Navy veterans recruited to participate in an exercise on
9/11?


Each of the following individuals on Flight 77 had been in the
Navy:


Charles Burlingame III – pilot, had once worked at the Naval
Command Center in the Pentagon.


David Charlebois – Copilot, Navy.


William Caswell – one of the Navy’s top scientists.


Charles Droz III – Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy and Vice
President for software development, EM Solutions Inc.


Wilson “Bud” Flagg – retired
admiral (Involved in “Tailhook”).


Bryan Jack – worked for the Office of
the Secretary of Defense.


[Bryan Jack was involved with economics and budgeting.  There was soon
to be a massive fraud in the Pentagon, prompting neocon comptroller and
Jewish Rabbi Dov Zakheim to quit...  Did he know about this?  It is
possible that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld recruited Mr. Jack to
participate in this exercise.]


John Sammartino – former worker at Naval Research Lab.


John Yamnicky – consultant and ex-test pilot.


Vicki Yancey – former naval electronics technician.


And while not in the Navy, Barbara Olson – was a devote right-winger and 
wife of Ted Olson, who was Jonathan Pollard’s former attorney!  
It is certainly possible that Ted Olson recruited his third wife to 
participate in this conspiracy.  Did Ted Olson want to destroy the 
incriminating records of his ‘clients’?


If the perpetrators were going to attack the World Trade Center towers,
then they would have to attack the Navy Command Center as well.  Since
those inside the NCC were following all the events unfolding on
9/11....

An investigation should be opened into the Money that have been stolen
from the DoD.

Flight 77 Is What Really Ties Zakheim To 9/11
http://judicial-inc.biz/Dov_Zakheim_Fl_77.htm

Following Zakheim And The Pentagon Trillions To Israel And 911


Think of this as part two of Recherche
du trillions perdu, my Online
Journal article on Dov Zakheim, former Bush
appointee as Pentagon
Comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. At that
time he was
unable to explain the disappearance of $1 trillion dollars.
Actually,
nearly three years earlier, Donald Rumsfeld announced on September
10,
2001 that an audit discovered $2.3 trillion was also missing from
the
Pentagon books [1]. That story, as I mentioned, was buried under
9-11's
rubble. The two sums disappeared on Zakheim's watch.

Yet on May
6, 2004, Zakheim took a lucrative position at Booz Allen
Hamilton, one of the
most prestigious strategy consulting firms in the
world. One of its clients
then was Blessed Relief, a charity said to be
a front for Osama bin Laden.
Booz, Allen & Hamilton then also worked
closely with DARPA, the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency, which
is the research arm of the
Department of Defense. So the dark card was
shifted to another part of the
deck.

Judicial Inc's bio of Dov (linked below) tells us Zakheim was/is a
dual
Israeli/American citizen and an ordained rabbi and had been tracking
the
halls of US government for 25 years, casting defense policy
and
influence on Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. He is,
as
I described him earlier, the bionic Zionist. In fact, Judicial
Inc
points out that most of Israel's armaments were gotten thanks to
him.
Squads of US F-16 and F-15 were classified military surplus and sold
to
Israel at a fraction of their value.

Judicial Inc also points out
that Israel, a country of 4.8 million
Russian and Polish Jewish émigrés,
flies on one of the biggest Air
Forces in the world, thanks to Mr. Zakheim.
Conflict of interest here?
Depends on what you're interested in. That is, in
2001 Zakheim was CEO
of SPS International, part of System Planning
Corporation, a defense
contractor majoring in electronic warfare
technologies, including
remote-controlled aircraft systems, and the notorious
Flight Termination
System (FTS) technology that could hijack even a hijacked
plane and land
or crash it wherever.

More from the resume: Wikipedia
points out that Zakheim is also a member
of the Council on Foreign Relations
and in 2000 a co- author of the
Project for the New American Century's
position paper, Rebuilding
America's Defenses, advocating the necessity for a
Pearl-Harbor-like
incident to mobilize the country into war with its enemies,
mostly
Middle Eastern Muslim nations.

As to Zakheim's hell-raiser
lineage, Judicial Inc points out that
Grandpa Zakheim was born in 1870,
Julius Zakheim (Zhabinka), in the
Ukraine, a Russian rabbi who married a
relative of Karl Marx. He was a
Menshevik/Bolshevik and played a leading role
in the 1905 turmoil that
paved the way for the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. The
Bolshevik master
plan called for the state of Israel, which was chosen for
its proximity
to the world's oil and an area of religious
significance.

Dov's Father, Rabbi Jacob I. Zakheim was born in 1910 and
reared in
Poland's swarm of Zionist hard guys, read assassins and bombers.
His
Polish town, near Bilaystok, also brought us Yitzhak Shir, and
family
friends included Menachem Begin and Moshe Arens. Dov's father was
an
active member of Betar, formed in 1923 in Riga, Latvia. Its goal was
to
control the Middle East (and its oil). It was known that the
Jewish
people needed their own country and they chose Palestine and claimed
it
a Jewish state "on both sides of the Jordan."

Betar was in essence
a terrorist organization formed because Zionists
were sick of being chased
from and arrested in country after country.
They wanted both a place to
escape and a base for their power. Betar
joined forces with the Haganah,
Irgun, and Stern gangs. With no prospect
of a Jewish state in sight, they
argued that armed struggle against the
British was the only way. Since
Britain occupied Palestine and was
containing them they went on a blood feast
of bombings that killed
hundreds of British soldiers. The British pulled out,
but the Zionists
continue to maul the Arabs to this day.

For a concise
history on the Formation of Israel in 1947, I suggest:
http://www.theocracywatch.org/
christian_zionism_israel_forms.htm

Returning to Mr. Dov Zakheim: he was
born in Brooklyn in 1943 and
attended exclusive Jewish schools, spent summers
in Israel Zionist
camps, which trained the Zionists of the future. As to
Dov's formal
education, he graduated from Columbia University in 1970 and
the
University of Oxford in 1972. From 1973 to 75, he attended the
London
school of Jewish studies, described as a "Harry Potter" type
cauldron;
among the subjects Jewish supremacy, Advanced Bible, Talmud,
Jewish
Mysticism, Holocaust, Anglo-Judaica, and Zionism. After, he was
ordained
a Rabbi. From 1975 to 80, Zakheim was an adjunct professor at
the
National War College, Yeshiva University, Columbia University
and
Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut.

As he stepped into the
Reagan administration, he talked them into
funding development of the Lavi
Fighter at a cost of $3 billion. The
Lavi was a total flop and Israel dropped
it, though it owed $450 million
in contract fees that were cancelled. Israel,
according to Judicial Inc,
also created a story that China was eager to buy
the Lavi. Zakheim
convinced Reagan that China had to be sandbagged. Reagan
gave Israel
$500 million for its lost contracts. Reagan then threw in a wing
of
F-16's as a bonus and sign of good will. Do we see a pattern
here,
personal, familial, career-wise, of over-the-top Israeli
advocacy?

Again, during Zakheim's tenure as Pentagon controller from May
4, 2001,
to March 10, 2004, over $3 trillion dollars were unaccounted
for.
Additionally, military Information was jeopardized and
military
contractors billed the US for Israeli items: $50 million dollar
fighter
jets were rated as surplus and the list rolls on. As the scandal of
the
missing trillion dollars surfaced and Zakheim resigned, Israel
was
handed the finest fighter jets in the US inventory while 15 percent
of
US jets were grounded for lack of parts. In whose best interest was
this?

But Dov is not alone. He is one of an elite group of
Jewish
Americans/Israelis who inter-marry and enter government. They and
their
Christian counterparts are called neocons and their sole purpose
is
directing US policy. Most of them are dual citizens and few serve in
the
US military. Think of Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle,
Ben
Wattenberg, to mention a few. Whether their motivation is anger at
the
Muslim world, seen as a religious and territorial enemy, or
a
deep-rooted reaction to the Holocaust, the culmination of
European
anti-Semitism, their reactionary militarism becomes a
world-threatening
force unto itself. Hence our concern.

Dov and the
World Trade Center

Perhaps not coincidentally in May 2001, when Dov
served at the Pentagon,
it was an SPS (his firm's) subsidiary, Tridata
Corporation, that oversaw
the investigation of the first "terrorist" attack
on the World Trade
Center in 1993. This would have given them intimate
knowledge of the
security systems and structural blueprints of the World
Trade Center.
From the '90s through 2001, WTC Security was handled by
Securacom, a
Kuwait-American firm, on whose board Marvin Bush, the
president's
brother, sat. After 9/11, Securacom was let go, changed its name
to
Stratosec, and was delisted from the Stock Exchange in
2002.

According to Conspiracy News.net writers Shadow and 'Pax' in Dov
Zakheim
and the 9/11 Conspiracy, "According to the SPC website, a
recent
customer at that time was Eglin AFB, located in Florida. Eglin is
very
near another Air Force base in Florida, MacDill AFB, where Dov
Zakheim
contracted to send at least 32 Boeing 767 aircraft, as part of
the
Boeing /Pentagon tanker lease agreement.

"As the events of
September 11, 2001 occurred, little was mentioned
about these strange
connections, and the possible motives and proximity
of Dov Zakheim and his
group. Since there was little physical evidence
remaining after the events,
investigators were left only with
photographic and anecdotal
evidence.

"There is a photograph of the Flight Termination System module,
from
their site.(5). Note it has a cylindrical shape, and is consistent
with
the size and shape of the object observed under the fuselage of flight
175.

"The Boeing lease deal involved the replacement of the aging
KC-135
tanker fleet with these smaller, more efficient Boeing 767s that were
to
be leased by Dov Zakheim's group. The planes were to be refitted
with
refueling equipment, including lines and nozzle
assemblies."

(Remember both Flight 175, that hit the South Tower, and
Flight 11, that
hit the North Tower, were Boeing 767s. Flights 77 and 93 were
757s.)

"In the enlargement of flight 175's photo, we can clearly see
a
cylindrical object under the fuselage, and a structure that appears
to
be attached to the right underside of the rear fuselage
section.

"When seen in comparison, it is obvious that the plane
approaching the
Trade Center has both of these structures-the FTS module and
the midair
refueling equipment, as configured on the modified Boeing 767
tankers.
Of particular interest is the long tube-like anomalous structure
under
the rear fuselage area of flight 175-this structure runs along the
right
rear bottom of the plane, as it also does on the Boeing 767
refueling
tanker pictured.

"After considering this information, I [the
author/s] am convinced that
flight 175, as pictured on the news media and
official reports, was in
fact a refitted Boeing 767 tanker, with a Flight
Termination System
attached. Use of this system would also explain the expert
handling of
aircraft observed in both New York and Washington investigations,
which
has been officially credited to inexperienced flight school
students.

"Since the refitted 767s were able to carry both passengers and
a fuel
load, as shown in this photo, it is likely that the plane
designated
Flight 175 was in fact a refitted 767 tanker, disguised as
a
conventional commercial passenger plane.

"As shown in this photo of
a 767 being serviced, the FTS unit, when in
position, would be small and
unobtrusive enough to be fairly innocuous
(at least to casual observers, such
as passengers). The smallest circle
indicates the size and position of the
anomaly depicted in the photos of
Flight 175. The larger circle, which is the
size of the engine housing,
shows the size of the anomaly in relation to the
engine. Note the size
and position of the open hatches on the engine housing,
which would tend
to discredit the widely held theory that the anomaly is an
open hatch or
cargo door.

"As the . . . diagram shows, all flights
involved in the events traveled
very near many military installations, and
appear to have traveled in a
manner suggesting guidance and possible transfer
of the control of the
planes among the bases.

"Since the evidence from
the World Trade Center site was quickly
removed, there is little concrete
evidence of the involvement of Dov
Zakheim, who has since left his position
at the Pentagon. However, the
proximity of Eglin AFB to MacDill AFB in
Florida and Dov Zakheim's work
via SPC contracts and the Pentagon leasing
agreement on both of these
installations, combined with SPC's access to World
Trade Center
structural and security information from their Tridata
investigation in
1993, is highly suspicious. Considering his access to Boeing
767
tankers, remote control flight systems, and his published views in
the
PNAC document, it seems very likely he is in fact a key figure in
the
alleged terrorist attacks in New York City on September 11,
2001."

the
financial systems of the department are so snarled up that we
can't
account for some $2.6 TRILLION in transactions that
exist..."

Request,

Identity and Immigration Status of 9/11 stooges of
CIA2/MOSSAD/DIA/AMAN...

According to authorities, all of the hijackers who were used by the CIA/MOSSAD KILLERS...committed the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks  were foreigners. All of them
entered the country legally on a temporary visa, mostly tourist visas
with entry permits for six months.  Although four of them attended
flight school in the United States, only one is known to have entered
on an appropriate visa for such study, and one entered on an F-1
student visa.  Besides the four pilots, all but one of the terrorists
entered the United States only once and had been in the country for
only three to five months before the attacks.

The four pilots had been in the United States for extended periods,
although none was a legal permanent resident. Some had received more
than one temporary visa, most of which were currently valid on September 11, but at least three of
them had fallen out of status and were, therefore, in the United States
illegally.

The terrorists  had obtained U.S. identification that was used
for boarding flights in the form of Florida, Virginia, California and New

Jersey driver's licenses/ID cards. One of the terrorists, Mohamed
Atta, was detained in Florida for driving without a license, but
subsequently obtained one. Thirteen of the terrorists had Florida
driver's licenses or ID cards, seven had Virginia driver's licenses,
at least two had California licenses and two had New Jersey driver's
licenses. According to the March 28, 2002 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
Robert Thibadeau, director of Carnegie Mellon's Internet Security
laboratory, says that "the 19 terrorists on Sept. 11 were holding 63
state driver's licenses for identification."

In the probe of the attack, numerous other people with potential
connections to the hijackings have been detained for immigration
violations.

[Note:
In the conversion of names from the Arabic alphabet into ours,
there is no single correct spelling. This is why the names of the
terrorists vary in their spelling in different news accounts, and why
computerized databases will not recognize the name when it is spelled
differently from how it was entered into the database. For example,
Mohamed could be spelled Muhamed or Mohammed, and al-Suami could be
spelled Alsuami or al Swami, etc. ]
