Kris Millegan, in the Publisher's Foreword, suggests that "the image in the rear-view mirror" is getting clearer, noting that the author provides some historical underpinnings to massive black ops funding deceits going back decades, "a secret history of criminality and corruption beyond the wildest imagination of fiction".
Among the topics covered, in addition to that of "black funds", the author "searches for the answers to such questions as: How did the inexperienced hijackers pull off such intense military-type aerial maneuvers? Was UAL 93 shot down in Shanksville? What did the eyewitnesses [there] see? What does the radar data show? What happened to World Trade Center buildings…? Was remote control of the airliners an operational option at the time of 9/11? And more."
Milligan quotes from David R Simon's book Elite Deviance http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13814...e_Deviance:
"Many of the scandals that have occurred in the United States since 1963 have been fundamentally interrelated; that is, the same people and institutions have been involved in a number of scandals."
The book's Foreword by Aidan Monaghan has 24 footnotes and discusses the plausibility of GPS guided aircraft autopilot systems, and notes that the readout file from the flight data recorder of American Airlines flight 77 was completed 4 hours and 15 min. before it was even found. Yet the NTSB has not published any unique inventory control serial numbers for flight data recorders and Monaghan has been told that that agency possesses no records that positively identify the flight data recorders for either aircraft (AA 77 or UAL 93). Monaghan's conclusion is that the official flight information documenting the alleged terrorist-pilot control of both of these very aircraft is unverifiable is "unverifiable at best, and may be fraudulent".
He notes that the "flight paths of the commercial airplanes involved in the attack share common characteristics with the capabilities provided by precision automated flight control systems and related commercial aviation technology, all of which had emerged in the period just before 2001." The accuracy of the augmented GPS system known as WAAS (wide area augmentation system) is between one and 3 meters.
The 1st chapter, entitled "Crashes", sets the background around it UAL 93. The 2nd chapter, featuring a full page photograph of Maurice Greenberg, is entitled "Forewarnings". [No, it's not about Odigo, etc.] A major theme is struck with the notation of Greenberg's CFR article from 1996 [size=12]([/SIZE]http://www.fas.org/irp/cfr.html ) which demonstrates clearly that "When criminals are judged to be intelligence assets they are to be granted protection from prosecution for narco-trafficking, money laundering, extortion, rape, even terrorism and murder. Such has been our de facto policy since at least the final days of World War II." There is also a discussion with regard to the case of Gary Webb and his series "Dark Alliance". Peter Dale Scott's book (co-authored with Jonathan Marshall), Cocaine Politics, is noted. The chapter's concluding paragraph: "The outcome of a secret policy of complicity was entirely predictable: the possibilities for abuse are as unlimited as the criminal imagination. But I must admit to shock at learning just how far up the food chain the rot extends."
The 3rd chapter, "A Walk on the Dark Side", is about money…lots of money. The author notes that that strike at the Pentagon provided for "the surgical destruction of the Department of Defense's [financial] records and staff, nearly all of whom died in the rubble...". The North Tower of the WTC is the next focal point; noted in particular are Marsh and McLennan, and Kroll Associates, with the statement that "the network of corporate ties here is so entangled that tracing all the links would fill this entire volume, but the most salient connections can be enumerated." They include Jerome Hauer, Marsh and McLennan CEO Jeffrey Greenberg (son of Maurice, the owner of AIG, a former director of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, vice-chairman of the CFR, and author of the previously noted report). He was floated as a candidate by Sen. Arlen Specter for the directorship of the CIA. And 8 paragraphs, 2 pages, are devoted to be important evidence provided by Richard A. Grove. If you're not familiar with that particular story, (it's a big secret), do your homework: http://www.freewebs.com/abigsecret/Grove.html I did, years ago.
Chapter 4, "Insiders Trade", begins the discussion of the highly suspicious sales of shares in various companies including airlines and insurance companies, along with major trades in gold and oil markets, both before and during the events of September 11 and which suggest advance knowledge of the attacks. It covers 11 pages and has 35 footnotes. Cited are Michael Ruppert's book "Crossing the Rubicon, a disinformation campaign launched by the New York Times, the involvement of people like Buzzy Krongard and George Tenet, Mayo Shattuck III and Bankers Trust, as well as Wirt Walker III, the Convar story, and more. "All of this hints at the probable frightening extent of criminal activity on Wall Street in the days and hours before (and during?) 9/11. The SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] was "like a surgeon who opens a patient on the operating room table to remove a tumor only to so him back up again after finding that the cancer has metastasized throughout the body."
The 5th chapter, "American International Group", zooms in for a closer look, traces the history of AIG, notes Henry Kissinger's role, describes the numerous sub-organizations involved in the massive shell game, and notes the involvement of Warren Buffett (who also received the skeedaddling George Bush 43 into the bunker at a major air base). Also noted are Michael Ruppert's article on the possible involvement of AIG in the drug trade, the inside employee at AIG's San Francisco office with ties to the Medellin drug cartel, the whole story of Manuel Noriega, Operation Watchtower, a review of the deregulation of the financial services industry under the Clinton administration, the role of Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, and the Bank of America, American Express Bank, Wells Fargo, and Wachovia. This chapter features 54 footnotes, with number 49 being most notable, as it tells the tale of Bill Clinton, the Arkansas Development Finance Authority, Barry Seal, Hillary Clinton and the Rose Law Firm, Marine Lieut. Col. Oliver North, and Barry Seals' death.
Chapter 6, "Collateral Damage", runs for 12 pages and has 38 footnotes, and leads with the question: "When society fails to hold wicked men accountable, what is to stop them from proliferating their criminal behavior even to the point of undermining an entire nation? All the more so when the criminals in question are captains of industry, finance, and the government." "It is a fact that despite the unprecedented security failures…, none of the officials responsible, at the time, for protecting the US were subsequently held accountable. None were disciplined, sacked, nor even reprimanded." One of them was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Note in particular is made of the covert economic war against Russia in the 1990s under the George Herbert Walker Bush administration.
Central to the chapter is a heavily-documented 57-page paper by E.P. Heidner
( http://www.wanttoknow.info/911/Collatera..._trust.pdf ). .
Note is made that its title, were you to Google for it, would take you first and foremost to countless sources involving a 2002 Hollywood action film of the same name.
Mention is made of plans, around 1998, for "a false-flag terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon to destroy critical evidence, shut down the ongoing investigations, divert attention away from themselves, and generally cover their tracks. The diabolical plot may also have served other converging interests, one of them being to create a pretext for a vastly expanded use of military force worldwide." There is additional explanation with regard to the attack on the Pentagon in which the Office of Naval Investigation "suffered total destruction: 39 out of 40 ONI staffers died, including the entire chain of command"; "according to Heidegger, the ONI had been investigating crimes associated with the plundering of Russia". Another target in the 9/11 attacks was a task force led by the US Customs Service and the Internal Revenue Service which was a money-laundering watchdog group and which was housed in the US Customs office in WTC6. I trust the reader is familiar with the picture of the crater in the center of that building. Mention is made of the story of the official FEMA photographer Curt Sonnenfeld and the story of the open vault door, the vault being completely bare, indicating that apparently "someone had cleaned it out before the attacks". Three paragraphs cover the story of the targeting of WTC7, which also housed government offices that were investigating financial crimes. The entire thing is characterized as a "fiendishly clever" "diabolical scheme" that centered on a secret "war chest" controlled by the CIA and certain Wall Street bankers. Mention is made again of the October Surprise, the story of Israeli whistleblower Ari Ben-Menashe, and Israel's role in "stage management" as a middleman or "cut out" in the Iran-Contra arms scandal. "To this day, the average American remains clueless about this report and history", its sham investigations, the Mossad agent/media mogul Robert Maxwell, his murder, as well as the death of the investigating Sen. Tower in a crash of his commuter airplane. Two pages are devoted to the foreign policy in the 90s of the Bush administration, President Clinton's Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, the nuclear blackmail of Russia, CIA slush funds and the role of 10-year bonds. The chapter ends with the introduction of the story of "Yamashita's gold" or the "Black Eagle trust".
Chapter 7, "Black Gold", is not about oil, but about World War II Japanese plundering, the US involvement in the Philippines, underground vaults constructed by slave laborers who were then buried alive, Ed Lansdale, former OSS chief chief Gen. MacGruder, Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg ("who then headed the interim Central Intelligence Group), Secretary of War Henry Stimson, John Foster Dulles, Clark Clifford, John L McCloy (an ally of the Rockefellers) (later head of the World Bank, chairman of Chase Manhattan, and a member of the Warren commission), Brown Brothers Harriman, and Ferdinand Marcos.
Chapter 8 is about the eponymous "Cocke Deposition", available online and also excerpted in one of the appendices, nuclear weapons in Northeast Asia, the Nugan-Hand bank, the CIA-Saudi relationship, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, the Pakistani intelligence agency, operating off ledger, and Project Hammer (see David Guyette's work in Nexus magazine, volume 9, number 1). http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&biw=1...ak6gHK3v18
Chapter 9, "Rise of the National Security State", is 8 pages long and has 24 footnotes. In addition to noting the role of Allen Dulles, the work of Fletcher Prouty, the role of Gen. Bedell Smith, Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, Frank Wisner and the Office of Policy Coordination, Operation Gladio, the attempted coup in 1934 against Franklin Delano Roosevelt by a cabal of Wall Street bankers and industrialists, and the rapidly "disappeared" letter by former Pres. Harry Truman in December 1963 to the Washington Post. It "vanished down an Orwellian memory hole in nearly disappeared from human consciousness". It is noteworthy that the original edition of Flethcer Prouty's pathbreaking exposé, The Secret Team, suffered a similar fate. The thrust of the chapter is captured beautifully in its 1st paragraph: "One of the most successful frauds ever perpetrated upon the American people is the notion that the CIA exists to provide intelligence to the president. In fact, the CIA's intimate links to Wall Street suggest that the CIA was created to serve the perceived interests of investment bankers. The well-documented links to Wall Street can be traced to the founding of the agency."
Chapter 10 concerns itself with the Bank of New York and the Federal Reserve system. The 1st paragraph notes NSDD-66 and a huge effort which marshaled "the CIA, the Pentagon, Treasury, and other governmental agencies to devise ways to increase economic pressure on the Soviets"; one offshoot was a "massive secret study on international oil pricing" which the Treasury Department completed in early 1983. Note is made of the role of Marc Rich, identified by Business Week as the most powerful commodity trader in Russia in the early 1990s, and who was pardoned in 2001 by Pres. Bill Clinton in his last moments in the Oval Office; "Rich had been a fugitive from the US since 1985 and faced a combined 325 year prison sentence." Three pages are devoted to electronic money-laundering through the Bank of New York, its senior vice president Natasha Kagalovsky (whose husband "had been an economic advisor to Russian Pres. Boris Yeltsin and was also an associate of Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky"), and Israeli banker Bruce Rappaport (one of BoNY's principal shareholders, whose Inter-Maritime bank in Geneva had directed BoNY's initial expansion into Russia, and who was a longtime US intelligence asset as well as William Casey's golfing buddy and Ollie North's personal banker. Rappaport also owned a melon farm which was used as a base for the training by Israeli mercenaries of paramilitary forces for the Colombian cartel. There is a 3-page description of the activity of the Bank of New York during the 9/11 attacks. It is noted that the previously-mentioned E. P. Heidner argued that "9/11 was the mother of all money laundering scams"; over two pages are devoted to the pre-9/11 currency spikes, which also suggest foreknowledge of the events of 9/11. As noted previously with regard to a different chapter, footnote number 53, on pages 139 through 141, provide 10 additional paragraphs of information relative to the continuation of the Russian demolition project after 9/11.
The 13-page Chapter 11, "Remote-Control 9/11", notes Operation Home Run, the research of Joe Vialls, the famously-amusing case of honorary "top gun" pilot
Hani Hanjour (who failed a Virginia driver's license test and was unable to remember his ATM pin number in four attempts). Noted are the books False Flag 9/11 by Philip Marshall and Prior Knowledge of 9/11 by Robert Schopmeyer (who spoke of a "deliberative and criminal pattern of obstruction"), and Steve Coll's book Ghost Wars. Said Philip Marshall, who is licensed to fly both 757s and 767s among other commercial planes, "It took me 20 years, dozens of ground school courses, and 15,000 hours between my 1st lesson and taking command of my 1st commercial airliner". Yet Hani Hanjour once began a training flight with empty gas tanks. There is a 5 page discussion of the question "Were the hijackers hijacked?" in which Gaffney voices his suspicion of an Israeli penetration of bin Laden's operation in Afghanistan: "the sum total of evidence points to a plot within a plot." He notes Christopher Bollyn's research which suggests an Israeli Mossad involvement in a plane swap before flights AA 11 and UAL 175 even took off from Boston's Logan international Airport. He notes further research by Bolllyn into the Israeli Aerospace Industries, the Israeli-own security firm International Consultants on Targeted Security International (ICTS) which handled "security duties at Logan international on September 11, 2001. Curiously, [it] also handled security at Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris in December 2001, when the mentally disturbed "shoe bomber" Richard Reid" successfully boarded a US bound jetliner.… [In addition] "the Israeli company also had the security contract for London's bus system at the time of the infamous July 7, 2005 terrorist bombings in London. It was also responsible for security" at Amsterdam's airport on Christmas day 2009 when the so-called "underwear bomber" boarded a flight from Detroit. "This means that ICTS personnel were at the scene of for the most notorious terrorist attacks of recent years, and on each occasion failed to prevent the attack. Was this merely a set of coincidences…?". The last 2 pages of the chapter address and introduce the quantum jump in navigation performance within the airline industry in the late 1990s, also described in Aidan Monahan's Foreword and Afterward.
Chapter 12, "Key Evidence Suppressed", is a 13 page chapter with 41 footnotes, most of which is relatively common knowledge, previously available, with the possible exception of the role of a certain Eddie Shalev, an Israeli defense forces paratrooper jump master. The chapter ends as follows: "We must follow the trail of evidence, regardless. Should lit ead into a dark wood, we must resolve to go there. And if it takes us to the gates of hell, so be it. For no force, certainly no lobbying group or political action committee, can be allowed to trump the search for 9/11 truth."
Chapter 13, "Shoot Down?", is a 22 page, 75-footnote, discussion of UAL 93 and Shanksville Pennsylvania. There is some discussion of the possible use of drones, the chief evidence of the RADES radar data, a discussion of the mysterious reports relative to Camp David, a discussion of aircraft "cloaking technology", and a discussion of the vulnerability of civilian aircraft, including commercial jetliners, to electromagnetic interference. The last sentence of the chapter: "In conclusion, the hypothetical use of a high-powered microwave weapon, mounted on a UAV strike platform, is consistent with all of the known facts, including a possible explosion."
Chapter 14, seven pages, "Correcting the Record", continues an exposition of the RADES radar data, John Farmer's research, Lynn Spencer's book Touching History, and the comments "We are left with many loose ends" and the final sentence "There is no statute of limitations for the crime of murder."
The epilogue features the following quotes:
"If ordinary citizens do not soon awaken to the insidious dangers that black technologies pose to our freedoms, the shameless puppeteers who command them from the shadows may alternately succeed in imposing their New World Order upon us."
"Our nation is presently in the grip of diabolically evil forces that have betrayed and subverted our democratic values."
"The uncompromising search for truth cuts against the grain of US exceptionalism, instant gratification, reality and celeb TV, consumerism, cheap thrills, sports-on-demand, infotainment and every other readily available form of escapism in our mass culture. As Orwell wrote, "In a time of universal deceit, speaking the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
Aidan Monahan's Afterword (14 pages, 37 footnotes) is entitled "plausibility of 9/11 aircraft attacks generated by GPS-guided aircraft autopilot systems part 2"; it reviews the common performance characteristics of GPS guided navigation systems, the wide area augmentation system, the descending in-flight turns obviously present in the maneuvers on 9/11, avionics systems present on Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft by 1999, (Y2K ready!), the system's accuracy to three meters, its capacity for transferring pilot control, Honeywell's state-of-the-art flight management systems in use on 911 by all for allegedly hijacked aircraft, and the presence of the World Trade Center in navigational databases in those systems. The chapter also addresses the quality of GPS service through maximum or near-maximum GPS satellite visibility at the World Trade Center's. The Afterword ends with a quote: "In conclusion, there is compelling evidence that the technology already existed at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks to remotely control Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft by accessing their state-of-the-art flight management systems and utilizing altered flight paths uploaded through existing datalinks."
There are over 30 pages of appendices. There is a 6 1/2 page index.
Among the topics covered, in addition to that of "black funds", the author "searches for the answers to such questions as: How did the inexperienced hijackers pull off such intense military-type aerial maneuvers? Was UAL 93 shot down in Shanksville? What did the eyewitnesses [there] see? What does the radar data show? What happened to World Trade Center buildings…? Was remote control of the airliners an operational option at the time of 9/11? And more."

He notes further research by Bolllyn into the Israeli Aerospace Industries, the Israeli-own security firm International Consultants on Targeted Security International (ICTS) which handled "security duties at Logan international on September 11, 2001. Curiously, [it] also handled security at Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris in December 2001, when the mentally disturbed "shoe bomber" Richard Reid" successfully boarded a US bound jetliner.… [In addition] "the Israeli company also had the security contract for London's bus system at the time of the infamous July 7, 2005 terrorist bombings in London. It was also responsible for security" at Amsterdam's airport on Christmas day 2009 when the so-called "underwear bomber" boarded a flight from Detroit. "This means that ICTS personnel were at the scene of for the most notorious terrorist attacks of recent years, and on each occasion failed to prevent the attack. Was this merely a set of coincidences…?". The last 2 pages of the chapter address and introduce the quantum jump in navigation performance within the airline industry in the late 1990s, also described in Aidan Monahan's Foreword and Afterward.
Chapter 12, "Key Evidence Suppressed", is a 13 page chapter with 41 footnotes, most of which is relatively common knowledge, previously available, with the possible exception of the role of a certain Eddie Shalev, an Israeli defense forces paratrooper jump master. The chapter ends as follows: "We must follow the trail of evidence, regardless. Should lit ead into a dark wood, we must resolve to go there. And if it takes us to the gates of hell, so be it. For no force, certainly no lobbying group or political action committee, can be allowed to trump the search for 9/11 truth."
Chapter 13, "Shoot Down?", is a 22 page, 75-footnote, discussion of UAL 93 and Shanksville Pennsylvania. There is some discussion of the possible use of drones, the chief evidence of the RADES radar data, a discussion of the mysterious reports relative to Camp David, a discussion of aircraft "cloaking technology", and a discussion of the vulnerability of civilian aircraft, including commercial jetliners, to electromagnetic interference. The last sentence of the chapter: "In conclusion, the hypothetical use of a high-powered microwave weapon, mounted on a UAV strike platform, is consistent with all of the known facts, including a possible explosion."
Chapter 14, seven pages, "Correcting the Record", continues an exposition of the RADES radar data, John Farmer's research, Lynn Spencer's book Touching History, and the comments "We are left with many loose ends" and the final sentence "There is no statute of limitations for the crime of murder."
The epilogue features the following quotes:
"If ordinary citizens do not soon awaken to the insidious dangers that black technologies pose to our freedoms, the shameless puppeteers who command them from the shadows may alternately succeed in imposing their New World Order upon us."
"Our nation is presently in the grip of diabolically evil forces that have betrayed and subverted our democratic values."
"The uncompromising search for truth cuts against the grain of US exceptionalism, instant gratification, reality and celeb TV, consumerism, cheap thrills, sports-on-demand, infotainment and every other readily available form of escapism in our mass culture. As Orwell wrote, "In a time of universal deceit, speaking the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
Aidan Monahan's Afterword (14 pages, 37 footnotes) is entitled "plausibility of 9/11 aircraft attacks generated by GPS-guided aircraft autopilot systems part 2"; it reviews the common performance characteristics of GPS guided navigation systems, the wide area augmentation system, the descending in-flight turns obviously present in the maneuvers on 9/11, avionics systems present on Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft by 1999, (Y2K ready!), the system's accuracy to three meters, its capacity for transferring pilot control, Honeywell's state-of-the-art flight management systems in use on 911 by all for allegedly hijacked aircraft, and the presence of the World Trade Center in navigational databases in those systems. The chapter also addresses the quality of GPS service through maximum or near-maximum GPS satellite visibility at the World Trade Center's. The Afterword ends with a quote: "In conclusion, there is compelling evidence that the technology already existed at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks to remotely control Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft by accessing their state-of-the-art flight management systems and utilizing altered flight paths uploaded through existing datalinks."
There are over 30 pages of appendices. There is a 6 1/2 page index.
