I have several more things to post in this thread, but just off the topic, I'll drop this here in passing, as I only just noticed it on another blog. A few years prior to his tenure as CIA director, Woolsey was employed at Offutt Air Force Base through 1987 - 1988. His CIA nomination hearings include the resume note -
Nebraska, 1988 was a key time and place for the Franklin Scandal. I'm not digging in to Franklin Scandal connections to 9/11 for now as I'd prefer to focus on stuff that doesn't disappear through your fingers like wind, but Tom Henry - the attorney for Delmat Vreeland who pops up in Mike Ruppert's CROSSING THE RUBICON - was the guy who appeared in Colorado at a key point in the Jonathan Elinoff story, and who told a local white supremacist that Elinoff (sniffing around the Pat Sullivan story, much to his detriment) was the only guy in town who could somehow keep him out of prison. The white supremacist had been arrested after illegal materials (I think drugs) were found in the guy's car, in the carpark of a Ramada Inn. The supremacist told friends he'd been set up, and that the drugs weren't his. Elinoff did his best to look into that side of things, and found that the desk clerk of the Ramada Inn in question was a woman who worked in Tom Henry's office. Go figure.
The Elinoff story is way too labryrinthine and problematic to get much useful material out of. That said, I have some useful 9/11 research, covering a few avenues worth discussing, that I'll be posting here shortly. As prelude, a useful article from 1985.
THE CIA'S CHARLES RIVER LINK
https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/...0048-6.pdf
The article references the CIA's interest in Harvard. Several puzzle pieces surrounding the background of 9/11 point back here, so I'll try and assemble some of them shortly, with links. The Possony book I mentioned earlier is the 1978 volume INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM: THE COMMUNIST CONNECTION, hyping the Soviets as the great terror threat. Possony was an Austrian exile who worked with the French Foreign Affairs Ministry as a counselor in Psychological Warfare. He became an Advisor to the US War Department between 1943 and 1946, and a psychological warfare expert with the Office of Naval Intelligence during WW2. Possony later co-founded the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI), a "think tank long linked to the CIA" (according to Russ Bellant). The FPRI played a key role in establishing the American Security Council, and Possony remained on the ASC Board of Directors for decades afterwards. In OLD NAZIS, THE NEW RIGHT, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, Bellant noted that the ASC "..co-sponsored a series of annual meetings from 1955 to 1961 called National Military-Industrial Conferences in which elements of the Pentagon, National Security Council, and organizations linked to the CIA discussed cold war strategy with leaders of many large corporations, such as United Fruit, Standard Oil, Honeywell, U.S. Steel, and of cours, Sears Roebuck... One conference 'cooperating organization' was the CIA-linked Foreign Policy Research Institute." Possony co-authored the FPRI's foreign policy thesis, A FORWARD STRATEGY FOR AMERICA, where he argued that a nuclear strike would be a positive step in the fight against Communism, despite "severe American casualties".
In 1962, Possony became a member of the American Security Council's National Strategy Committee. In 1963, he co-wrote THE GEOGRAPHY OF INTELLECT with Nathaniel Weyl. THE GEOGRAPHY OF INTELLECT is a racist tract arguing that intelligence can be measured through proximity to temperate climates, people who live in hot countries are dumber than those who live in cold ones, etc. In the Spartacus bio of Weyl, it's mentioned that in 1964 Weyl (with John Martino) "promoted the story that Oswald had been in Cuba beforehand and that he had been in contact with Cuban intelligence and Castro himself. Their story described Castro's motivation as revenge for continuing attempts on Castro's life by the United States government."
In 1970, Possony wrote THE STRATEGY OF TECHNOLOGY: WINNING THE DECISIVE WAR. The book was popular with hawkish Pentagon officials in the 1970s. It argued for the development of weapon systems that would be too high tech and expensive for other nations to reproduce without collapsing their economies. In 1974, Possony authored WAKING UP THE GIANT: THE STRATEGY FOR AMERICAN VICTORY AND WORLD FREEDOM. That book opens with a conversation between a Nixonian Republican President-elect and an outgoing President, who discuss how to confront the Red Menace. The remaining 700 pages detail a think tank's response on how to battle the Communist goal of world domination.
Possony's INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM: THE COMMUNIST CONNECTION was published by the American Council for World Freedom, an affiliate of the World Anti-Communist League, and the thesis of the book - written by a psychological warfare expert embedded in the military industrial complex's national security strategy - was picked up by Israelis, Brits, CIA folk, Safari Club members and their pals at the July 1979 Jerusalem Conference. Robert Moss, Brian Crozier, Ray Cline, and Henry 'Scoop' Jackson, mentor of Neocons like Wolfowitz, Perle, and Woolsey, also attended the conference that week. (In Alexander Cockburn's book on Al Gore, Cockburn notes that Woolsey was "..chief counsel for the notorious cold war hawk and whore for Boeing, Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson". Woolsey represented "..arms contractors as well as CIA / NSC operatives who had got themselves intro trouble." When the Neocons, including Woolsey, took part in COG exercises in the 80's with Oliver North, they did so alongside Kenneth Duberstein. Duberstein would become the head of Boeing in 1997. I'll mention another, more dramatic link between Boeing and 9/11 planning in a future post). A week or so after the Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism finished, Carter signed Executive Order 12148, transferring emergency powers to FEMA and making it responsible for the "coordination of preparedness and planning to reduce the consequences of a major terrorist incident." As noted in the below article, FEMA would thereafter take charge of Continuity of Government planning. As Peter Dale Scott noted further in THE ROAD TO 9/11, Cheney, in charge of FEMA at the time of the event, activated those Continuity of Government plans on the morning of 9/11. The FEMA draft signed off by Carter had been written by Samuel Huntington, later the author of THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS, which predicted that America would soon struggle with radical groups in the Middle East. Huntington was a political science professor at Harvard. In 1975, Huntington had co-authored a book, THE CRISIS IN DEMOCRACY, where he noted "A government which lacks authority will have little ability, short of a cataclysmic crisis, to impose on its people the sacrifices which may be necessary to deal with foreign policy problems and defense." Huntington then noted that there were "potentially desirable limits to the indefinite extension of political democracy".

By a quirk of timing, July 3rd, 1979 (day two of the Jerusalem Conference) was also the day Carter signed the directive to aid Mujahideen forces in Afghanistan, with Brezinski telling Carter that it would force a Soviet military intervention. This isn't central to the thread I'm building here though.
While COG planning was taking place, I believe other planning was taking place elsewhere, out of government, in a very specific location. Some of the puzzle pieces are very blatant. Scott, to his credit, noted a couple of them some years ago, but a few others have been overlooked up till now. I'll post more on this, with addititional links, shortly.
