- Joseph and Samia Iskandar believe the government version
of 9/11. Linda Gay stands behind the Bush administration hook, line and
sinker.
-
- Frank Calley accepted the government's version of his
wife's death without blinking an eye even though an abundance of evidence
shows the government version of 9/11 has proven to be blatant lie.
-
- And now Julie Sweeney this week came forward, saying
she has no reason to question the Bush version of the 9/11 story, saying
she'll talk about her husband death but "nothing about the government."
-
- What all these people have in common is that they all
lost loved ones on 9/11 and all of them were on board one of the flour
doomed flights, according to the official story.
-
- Further, Sweeney now joins a growing list of family members
who lost loved lone on the 9/11 planes who seem to satisfied with the government
story.
-
- Including the abovementioned people and at least 10 other
family members contacted by the Arctic Beacon who refuse to talk, this
comes in stark contrast to numerous family members of Ground Zero victims
who are outspoken, demanding justice and claiming 9/11 is an inside job.
-
- Why such a discrepancy? Why do many of the WTC family
members cry out for justice when most all airline family members, save
lone wolf Ellen Mariani, remain quiet as church mice?
-
- Are they hiding something? Are the whereabouts of the
airplane victims kept a state secret? Are some living while others killed
in remote locations other then the WTC, The Pentagon and Shanksville?
-
- Or do all of the flight families really believe the government,
defying the odds when considering how many of the Ground Zero families
disbelieve? Is it a coincidence or does the secret of the 9/11 mystery
lie in the truthful testimony of the flight families?
-
- Whatever it may be, after five years there is so much
of the 9/11 mystery that doesn't make sense, leaving investigators with
their mouths hanging open, looking for answers and searching for clues.
-
- Besides Mariani who lost her husband, Neil, on Flight
175, according to the official story, the rest of the jetliner family community
has never publicly questioned the government's official 9/11 story and
has pretty much stayed quiet in the background, out of the public eye.
-
- As stated, what makes this downright suspicious, is that
it is in stark contrast to the majority of family members who lost loved
ones at Ground Zero, a group that has hundreds of outspoken critics of
the government's official story, a group unafraid to publicly blame the
Bush administration for being the real culprits behind 9/11.
- For example, there are literally hundreds of survivors
and family members from Ground Zero who protest the government regularly,
saying Bush and the neo-cons are hiding the truth about 9/11 to protect
their own skin.
-
- But in stark contrast only Mariani has gone public denouncing
the government story, a fact that shouldn't be ignored when trying to unweave
the complex web of deceit woven by the neo-con culprits behind 9/11. It
also should be noted that Mariani's story still deserves scrutiny due
to some unexplainable inconsistencies
-
- Regarding the across the board silence or confirmation
of the official 9/11 story from the airline family community why have they
not bother to question NORAD's slow response, flight manifest irregularities
and, basically, the total lack of a serious investigation regarding their
missing relatives.
-
- Ask yourself: If you lost a loved one, wouldn't you go
to the end of the earth if there was the slightest question, the slightest
doubt remaining about who was the real perpetrator? Of course, the answer
is yes. But why then do all the flight families seem satisfied?
-
- Let's first look at some of the glaring oddities about
the airplane family members and why the government's story should have
at least sparked some doubt among them:
-
- According to Bureau of Traffic Safety (BTS) statistics
both flights officially never took- off on 9/11, as well as showing no
elapsed run-way time, wheels-off time and taxi-out time. However, Flights
11 and 77 on both 9/10 and 9/12 had all the recorded data properly logged.
-
- Why the discrepancy? No one has ever given an official
explanation for the BTS missing flight data, even though it is well known
that airports are extremely meticulous about recording accurate BTS data
for each and every flight in and out of its airport for liability purposes.
-
- But, more importantly, if this is a clear indication
Flight 11 and 77 were only 'phantom flights" and never existed, why
then wouldn't some of the family members publicly voice their concerns?
-
- With this glaring data even making it suspect whether
the flights even existed, why then would Sweeney in a telephone conversation
Sunday respond in this manner:
-
- "Brian's story is one thing but anything about the
government is another. I just want to put it behind me. It is what is and
it's done," said Sweeney who added that she would submit to a longer
interview Monday evening but would not talk about the government or its
possible involvement in 9/11.
-
- It might be added that Sweeney was contacted last year
by the Arctic Beacon, saying she would submit to an interview but then
failed to return phone calls for two weeks.
-
- "My husband left a cell phone message and he talked
to his mother before the plane hit, but she won't talk any more about what
he said," said Sweeney about her husband, who was one of the two members
of Flight 175 who logged dell phone calls on the doomed flight even though
experts have confirmed cell phone transmission aboard the plane would have
been impossible.
-
- "Personally, I do not want to talk about things
of that nature or anything about the government. I have family over tonight
so call me tomorrow and we can talk about Brian's story."
-
- In a story reported in New York by reporter Norman Miller
on Sept 13, 2001, here is what her husband's message left on Julie's cell
phone:
-
- MARLBOROUGH - When teacher Julie Sweeney got home from
school Tuesday she heard her husband Brian's voice for the last time on
her answering machine.
-
- "Hey Jules, it's Brian. I'm on a plane and it's
hijacked and it doesn't look good. I just wanted to let you know that I
love you, and I hope to see you again. If I don't, please have fun in life,
and live your life the best you can. Know that I love you, and no matter
what I'll see you again."
-
- Brian Sweeney, formerly of Marlborough, died yesterday
when the 767 jet he was flying in was hijacked by terrorists and was one
of two planes that crashed into the World Trade Center buildings.
-
- His wife, Julie Sweeney, was a physical education teacher
and the cross country team head coach for two years at Marlborough High
School until the pair moved to Barnstable earlier this year.
-
- Although Sweeney was reported only as a business consultant
in official flight manifests, he worked for Brandes Associates Inc., a
small business providing high quality engineering and program support to
customers in the Department of Defense.
-
- Before working for Bandes, Sweeney was a lieutenant in
the Navy and a Desert Storm veteran, protecting the no-fly zones. He was
a radar intercepting officer aboard F-14 Tomcat fighter planes in the VF-211
"Bounty Hunters" squadron, serving on the USS Nimitz and USS
Ranger aircraft carriers. Brian graduated at the head of his class at the
Naval Officers Training School in Pensacola, Fla.
-
- He was a staff instructor at the Navy's prestigious Fighter
Weapons School in Miramar, Calif., from 1995 to 1996, and a staff member
for the Tomcat Strike Fighter Weapons School in 1993. He was also squadron
avionics/weapons division officer from 1991 to 1993 and squadron weapons
training/tactics development officer from 1993 to 1995.
-
- He then worked for a variety of private-sector aeronautical
companies, including Lockheed Martin Corp., Spectratek Corp. and Horizons
Technology. From March 2006, he was a systems consultant for the Department
of Defense and aeronautics industry at Brandes Associates in Los Angeles.
-
- Besides Sweeney, look at what Mrs. Gay said after losing
her husband her husband, Peter, 54, a vice president of Raytheon Co. on
9/11.
-
- Five years later, she still lives in Tewksbury, Mass.,
claiming as she did right after the tragic event, she is satisfied with
her government's efforts at getting at the truth behind 9/11, satisfied
with the money she received from the victim's compensation fund and satisfied
with not pursuing her husband's death any further.
-
- "I guess I am different than most people, but I
just don't believe in suing the airlines or the government over something
they couldn't control," said Gay this week in a rare conversation
this week from her home in Tewksbury, as she reflected back about the death
of her husband, a top executive with a defense technology company doing
business with the Pentagon.
-
- "Looking back, one thing strange was that the night
before the flight and the early morning on 9/11, Peter seemed more reluctant
than usual to leave for California on business like he did every Tuesday
for the last year.
-
- "He was the type that didn't like to be away from
home, but on 9/11 he seemed more apprehensive about leaving than usual.
The last thing we said was the normal goodbyes before he took the limousine
and that was it. I never saw him again and had it confirmed he was on Flight
11 late in the afternoon at 2p.m. when American Airlines called."
-
- After listening to Sweeney and Gay, why wouldn't they
demand an investigation into the BTS records, the missing surveillance
tapes, NORAD's pitiful response time, unsubstantiated autopsy reports,
miraculous evidence and personal belongings recovered from the wreckage
and glaring inconsistencies concerning the actual flight lists, not to
mention the fact that seven of the 19 hijackers are reportedly alive, well
and living abroad.
-
- But specifically concerning the recovery of 'miraculous
evidence' and discrepancies in the flight lists, one of the most interesting
cases is that of Waleed Iskandar, purported to be a passenger on Flight
11.
-
- As unbelievable as it sounds, Iskandar's parents were
notified by the Ground Zero Recovery Team a year after 9/11 that they found
the unscathed Wells Fargo ATM card of their son, who allegedly perished
on the doomed flight.
-
- After being notified of the miraculous find, Joseph and
Samia Iskandar were sent their son's bank card within days, noting it was
in "perfect condition," but never really publicly questioned
the late timing of the incredible find or the suspicious nature of a flimsy
ATM card surviving such a towering inferno.
-
- What's even more suspicious is that their son, a 34-year-old
Harvard graduate, was never even listed as a passenger on Flight 11, either
on the original manifest or on the official list provided by American Airlines,
even though every reference to him afterwards on internet memorials or
in newspaper accounts lists him as a Flight 11 passenger.
-
- One would think, Iskandar's family would have publicly
questioned the numerous errors and discrepancies concerning Flight 11 and,
of course, the official passenger list which never listed their son.
But instead they have remained silent, his parents even failing to return
over 25 messages left and emails sent over a two-week period concerning
these very important issues.
-
- "It's only my opinion but if that was my son, I'd
be raising holy hell about the crazy government investigation and the information
withheld about Flight 11," said one 9/11 family member who lost a
loved one, but wanted to remain anonymous.
-
- Besides the strange silence from the Iskandar's, the
miraculous recovery of Flight 77 passenger, Suzanne Calley's, California
ID card, driver's license and wedding ring, all found in perfect condition
at the Pentagon, has also been accepted without questions asked by her
surviving husband, Frank. Despite numerous questions regarding Flight 77
and the Pentagon crash, Calley's husband believes the government has done
its level best when it came to the handling of his wife's case, his wife's
military autopsy and subsequent government investigation into the Pentagon
crash.
-
- And it's hard to believe Calley and the other Flight
77 family members haven't been screaming from the rafters, demanding justice
after looking at the facts of the secret investigation and the glaring
inconsistencies concerning the military autopsy performed under the cloak
of darkness.
-
- But, again, Calley and the others seem to be in 100 percent
agreement with the Pentagon since none of them have so much as whispered
criticism against a government investigation lacking obvious credibility.
-
- To make the point clear, here is exactly what Calley
had to say about the Pentagon investigation and a run-down of the discrepancies
in the Pentagon autopsy of the alleged Flight 77 victims as reported last
week in the Arctic Beacon:
-
- As told to another family member who lost a loved one
in 9/11, Calley said:
-
- "They told me they found her remains, but I decided
not to look. The Pentagon officials also said the remains of at least 19
others on board the plane were also identified by a military medical group.
-
- "Immediately after the crash, I was assigned a personal
liaison who handled my case. He was cooperative and helpful and I decided
I didn't want to see Suzanne's remains."
-
- What's strange about the autopsy investigation is that
none of the family members, including Calley, have demanded an independent
investigation, relying solely on government medical reporting as advised
by the Pentagon liaisons, a personal military attaché conveniently
provided for each individual family.
-
- And, even stranger, questions like this should have been
asked and independent investigations demanded by family members, all collectively
as a group remaining strangely silent when it is the natural reaction of
someone who loses a loved one, to travel to the ends of the earth to get
at the truth.
-
- Although the government medical team played up the fact
it undertook the most comprehensive autopsy in medical history, utilizing
DNA and dental records, none of the family members of those who allegedly
died on 9/11, like Calley, can now ever be 100 percent sure of the results
since the government controlled the autopsy, an independent investigation
never being allowed and in the case of Calley, the remains of his wife's
body has subsequently been cremated.
-
- "Even though it's four years after 9/11, I still
understand that family members can still be grieving. But wouldn't they
want positive independent DNA testing done to prove their loved ones actually
died in the crash," said on family member who lost a loved one 9/11
but wanted to remain anonymous.
-
- "I never received any remains or evidence of the
person I lost on 9/11, but if there were any remains, I surely would have
had them independently tested instead of relying on the word of the government.
-
- And that's exactly what transpired in the strange and
unexplainable autopsy investigation of the Flight 77 passengers, conducted
essentially in the cover of darkness by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology
(AFIP).
-
- And after reading the report, it is filled with so many
inconsistencies and generalities that it makes one wonder why Calley and
the other family members - not a single one of them - ever insisted on
independent DNA proof, matching the remains held by the government with
that of their loved ones.
-
- In fact, the AFIP in its report dated November 16, 2001,
incredibly said it positively identified nearly all the bodies, including
the Flight 77 passengers, a medical feat which several medical experts
considered miraculous if not, impossible, considering the short amount
of time and the amount of devastation at the crime scene.
-
- Trying to uncover the truth, Thomas R. Olmsted, M.D.,
who made a recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in order to
get to the bottom of what he calls a staged and phony government autopsy
report in order to cover up for "monsters who planned this crime."
-
- Dr. Olmsted said about the AFIP autopsy:
-
- "A list of names on a piece of paper is not evidence,
but an autopsy by a pathologist, is. I undertook by FOIA request to get
the autopsy list. Guess what? Still no Arabs on the list. It is my opinion
that the monsters who planned this crime made a mistake by not including
Arabic names on the original list to make the ruse seem more believable.
-
- "When airline disasters occur, airlines will routinely
provide a manifest list for anxious families. You may have noticed that
even before Sep 11th, that airlines are pretty meticulous about getting
an accurate headcount before takeoff. It seems very unlikely to me, that
five Arabs sneaked onto a flight with weapons."
-
- Dr. Olmsted then calls attention to the blatant discrepancy
of the names on the airline passenger manifest and the names provided by
the official Pentagon autopsy report, showing also that three names were
on the autopsy that never even were listed as passengers on the airplane,
an obvious indication of foul play never explained by the Pentagon.
-
- Further Dr.Olmsted found through his FOIA request that
although the medical examiners positively all of the passengers, they did
not identify any of the Arab hijackers onboard, who were also not listed
on the original flight manifest.
-
- "The AFIP suggest these numbers; 189 killed, 125
worked at the Pentagon and 64 were passengers on the plane. The AA list
only had 56 and the list just obtained has 58. They did not explain how
they were able to tell "victims" bodies from "hijacker"
bodies," said Dr. Olmsted. "In fact, from the beginning no explanation
has been given for the extra five suggested in news reports except that
the FBI showed us the pictures to make up the difference, and that makes
it so.
-
- "No Arabs wound up on the morgue slab; however,
three additional people not listed by American Airline sneaked in. I have
seen no explanation for these extras (on the autopsy list but not listed
as passengers.) I did give American the opportunity to "revise"
their original list, but they have not responded. The new names are: Robert
Ploger, Zandra Ploger, and Sandra Teague.
-
- "The AFIP claims that the only "passenger"
body that they were not able to identify is the toddler, Dana Falkenberg,
whose parents and young sister are on the list of those identified. The
satanic masterminds behind this caper may be feeling pretty smug about
the perfect crime, but they have left a raft of clues tying these unfortunates
together."
