June to September 2001

 

The 9-11 Commission hearings have made it clear that the Bush administration was fully cognizant prior to 9-11 of the imminent threat of major domestic terrorism against the United States. The Bush administration has testified that it tasked two key agencies regarding the threat: the FAA and the FBI.  The Star Tribune in the most courageous and accurate newspaper editorial we have seen wrote (http://www.startribune.com/stories/561/4712842.html) :

 

Criminal Lack of Interest

 

The title of the Aug. 6, 2001, Presidential Daily Briefing was revealed Thursday: "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." The briefing also, according to Commission Member Bob Kerrey, warned, "the FBI indicates patterns of suspicious activity in the United States consistent with preparations for hijacking."

Rice gave a two-pronged answer: The Aug. 6 document was "historical" in nature -- meaning, apparently, it looked back -- and that all through the summer, federal agencies, including FBI field offices, had been "tasked" with investigating this information.

But the language from the memo certainly doesn't sound "historical," and as for tasking federal agencies, Gorelick responded: "Secretary Mineta, the secretary of transportation, had no idea of the threat. The administrator of the FAA, responsible for security on our airlines, had no idea.Yes, the attorney general was briefed, but there was no evidence of any activity by him about this.

"You indicate in your statement that the FBI tasked its field offices to find out what was going on out there. We have no record of that."

Commission Member Tim Roemer came back to the same point: "We have done thousands of interviews here at the 9/11 commission. We've gone through literally millions of pieces of paper. To date, we have found nobody -- nobody at the FBI who knows anything about a tasking of field offices."

The exchanges between commission members and Rice reveal a criminal lack of interest in trying to prevent an attack on the United States that the administration had strong reason to expect. It's one thing to wait for a new strategic plan before taking the fight to Al-Qaida in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's another entirely to ignore evidence that mounted all through 2001 that the United States was about to be hit. Almost nothing of a defensive nature was done to guard against -- to prevent -- the horrific spectacle that unfolded on Sept. 11.

 

SenderBerl in noting these dynamics for itself significantly detected the evidence that Condoleezza Rice in our opinion deliberately misled the nation and the 9-11  Commission in her opening statement on April 8, 2004 to the 9-11 Commission:

At the beginning of the administration President Bush revived the practice of meeting with the director of central intelligence almost every day in the Oval Office, meetings which I attended along with the vice president and the chief of staff. At these meetings the president received up-to-date intelligence and asked questions of his most senior intelligence officials. From Jan. 20 through Sept. 10 the president received at these daily meetings more than 40 briefing items on Al Qaeda. And 13 of those were in response to questions he or his top advisers posed.

We offered the following analysis:

“…Dr. Rice QUALIFIED that the President met with Tenet daily only at the "beginning of the administration." Next, she says that only "at the beginning of the administration" did Bush ask questions. Next, when she says, "from Jan 20 to Sept 10 the president received at these daily meetings more than 40 briefing items on Al-Qaeda. And 13 of those were in response to questions he or his top advisers posed," the very sad reality is that all these meetings could have been done and consummated in the first 40 days of the administration meaning that there could be perhaps as little as none or only one or two meetings after May 2001. Thus, the reason the White House must have died when Tenet testified UNDER OATH that he did not meet with Bush in August 2001 while Bush was on vacation for an entire month while the country faced the threat of domestic terrorism. Moreover, ladies and gentlemen, the President's was so on top of things that after taking thirty long days away, an historical amount, from Washington, he decides to CHANGE HIS PLANS ON SEPTEMBER 7TH TO TRAVEL TO FLORIDA TO READ WITH SECOND GRADE CHILDREN.

In  this regard it is fitting to keep in mind: "Our batteries are charged," the President told the members of the American Legion in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday, implying that he was looking forward to returning to the White House and acknowledging that he had "a lot of work to do". Members of Congress too have had their summer break and will return to Capitol Hill by next Wednesday after spending Labour Day in their respective constituencies. HINDU August 31, 2001

The point is that Dr. Rice’s opening remark was carefully crafted to give the impression of continued ongoing meetings with Tenet from the start of the administration right into the events of 9-11, when in fact her words could have been carved to mask that the practice did not necessarily continue during the stated term (to the events of 9-11). In this regard, the testimony of George Tenet that he did not meet or see the President during August 2001 was at minimum supportive of this exact proposition, requiring the 9-11 Commission to enlist further clarification when it questions the President. . Further, the open issue is whether George Tenet will under oath amend his testimony. It surely isn’t sufficient for an employee of the CIA to call the press and media to advise that Tenet was wrong in what he testified under oath. In this regard it is imperative to keep in mind that a single contact between the CIA Director and the President in Crawford, if true, was not acceptable under the known threat condition.

That legerdemain was a routine technique of this administration is clearly seen by the following excerpt from the Washington Times:

Mr. Bush seemed to shrug off a USA Today poll that showed 55 percent of Americans believe his 30-day vacation is too long. "I'm working a lot of issues, national security matters," the president said. "Working on immigration policy and a state visit with the president of Mexico." AUGUST 8 WASHINGTON TIMES

 

The point here is what would have the American people have said and what would have the media have written had they known that the country was under threat of imminent major domestic terrorism? The President of the United States spews forth legerdemain when he is the only party privy to the facts that would have mandated his presence in Washington so he could have been on top of protecting the security interests of this country. The fact alone that he could have been briefed daily by Tenet, if he was in fact being briefed daily after his return from Genoa where his heightened security threat went without incident, is conclusive of wanton neglect for the security interest of the nation, when one factors in that the FBI and FAA stood totally ignorant of the danger of imminent hijacking, precluding them from quickly connecting the dots and following a structured plan to get NORAD to intercept the planes before they could strike major metropolitan areas with putative nuclear payloads. SenderBerl regrets that such vigilance and tenacity during a period of threat to the nation would have interfered with the President’s and the CIA Director’s vacation plans.

 

BEN-VENISTE: At this point you were aware, were you not, of the most heightened alert level in the United States up to that point with respect to the potential for a terrorist attack of significant magnitude.

ARMITAGE: Yes, I was. I was one of those to whom Director Tenet turned, along with other seniors in the administration, and made it very clear that we had a big problem coming. He didn't know where and he didn't know when, but he said it was coming.

Conclusion of the June to September 2001 Period: The Bush administration has offered testimony that this country was under the highest alert in its history during an unspecified six week period somewhere in June, July, early August 2001. The Bush administration has offered testimony that the FBI, FAA and other domestic agencies were tasked on the threat of domestic terrorism and the serious nature thereof. The 9-11 Commission has made it public that there seems to be no confirmation of this assertion by either the FBI or the FAA. The facts forthcoming bear it out. Thus, the dominant conclusion is that the country was left totally vulnerable to domestic terrorism as the subsequent facts bore out and that there is an open issue whether the country was even under a heightened status during an undefined six-week period. Either facet undermines the current government for deliberately lying and misleading the American public and 9-11 Commission and being totally and wantonly negligent and derelict in their duties and responsibilities to the country and their respective offices.

September 1, 2001 to September 10, 2001

SenderBerl now highlights something critical and essential only previously tangentially mentioned/highlighted by SenderBerl (and not highlighted to our knowledge by anyone else). We have obtained the transcript of a tape the CIA uncovered in Afghanistan. Bin-Laden makes a single remark in this tape that buries this administration under the weight of the totality of the evidence we now have in hand against the President and his administration. He says in or about November 2001:

Bin Laden: We were at (inaudible) when the event took place. We had notification since the previous Thursday that the event would take place that day.We had finished our work that day and had the radio on. It was 5.30pm our time. I was sitting with Dr Ahmad Abual[Khair]. Immediately, we heard the news that a plane had hit the World Trade Centre. We turned the radio station to the news from Washington. The news continued and no mention of the attack until the end. At the end of the newscast, they reported that a plane just hit the World Trade Centre.

SenderBerl was very suspicious from the get-go about the President changing his schedule on September 7th to fly to Florida to read with second grade school children in Jacksonville and Sarasota Florida. First, we were cognizant that he was away for an entire month in August 2001 from Washington. He received a lot of criticism for doing so and he was returning per his own admission with lots to do with the Congress returning.

"Our batteries are charged," the President told the members of the American Legion in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday, implying that he was looking forward to returning to the White House and acknowledging that he had "a lot of work to do". Members of Congress too have had their summer break and will return to Capitol Hill by next Wednesday after spending Labour Day in their respective constituencies. HINDU August 31, 2001

When Air Force One lands at Ford Hood today and President Bush travels on to Crawford for a month-long vacation, he will begin writing his own chapter in a long presidential tradition. Bush is trading the sweltering heat of Washington for the searing sun at his ranch just west of Waco. Joined by family, friends and senior advisers who will come and go throughout the month, Bush will begin fixing the image of his "summer" White House in the minds of the American public. August, the month when Congress recesses for the summer, has become the time for presidents to get some rest, too, said Martha Kumar, a presidential scholar working on a study of the Bush administration. But presidents have tended "in recent years not to take as much time as President Bush is taking and not to go as far away," Kumar said. "Presidents have also tended to go to places that are more garden spots than he's going to." Anyone who has seen Bush show off his Crawford ranch to visitors knows it is his garden spot. And he has made no effort to hide his belief that a balanced life includes leisure time, even for the leader of the free world. Today's arrival in Crawford will mark Bush's seventh trip there since taking office in January. Laura Bush left for the ranch on Wednesday. The couples' daughters, Barbara and Jenna, are expected to join them before the first couple's scheduled return to Washington on Sept. 3. Bush heads to secluded Camp David, Md., virtually every Friday, and the frequent time away from Washington has sparked questions about just how much the president likes being in the nation's capital.

SenderBerl: No wonder he never showed up for reserve duty. He needs balance. Well by all means but not when you are President of this country. This man doesn't have the devotion by nature to the responsibilities of office. If it interferes with his life or preferences, the country will just have to understand.

Add to the above comment that the President well knew – what the country and the media DID NOT KNOW -- that America was in danger of domestic terrorism. You don’t leave your post. This independently of the putative crimes in play showed abhorrent lack of presidential good judgement and required fiduciary duty to the nation.

However, the determinative point is that Osama bin-Laden knew on September 6th, realistically through a cell phone call, that the terrorism would take place on 9-11. Then we have the President who has lots to do in Washington, jet off to Florida in a non election year to read with school children, further contravening the normal Secret Service protocol to give them sufficient time to secure such otherwise public sites and locations (the school first knew on September 6 and the local newspapers on September 7).

Further, one agency left out of the picture no doubt for national security purposes is the highly secretive National Security Agency. It has spent trillions in monitoring phone alls, fax, emails, and all other forms of communications daily seven days a week for decades. Moreover, they code known voices such as bin-Laden's. Thus on two fronts it is realistically impossible for us or anyone else to accept the proposition that they were not aware of the terrorist cells and activities here in the USA and secondly did not know when bin-Laden knew of the imminent terrorism. If under the weight of the evidence anyone can legitimately assert that the President’s change of schedule on September 7th was coincidental then they insist on keeping their heads in the sand. There will be more evidence ironically from bin-Laden himself of Bush administration complicity.

September 11, 2001

While the case is damning against the Bush administration for leaving the barn door wide open to domestic terrorism on 9-11, the next phase begins to address the very serious question as to whether he and his administration were complicit. The generally known theorem is that the Bush administration had plans in hand to launch a campaign against the Middle East: one it ultimately admitted included world domination and control, spewed forth and boldly so in the President’s National Security Strategy, released in November 2002. This entire agenda was for naught without the predicate event of major domestic terrorism. Now, while it is clear that the barn door was left open for domestic attack, it is equally clear, regrettably so, for complicity in seeing it happen. There are a number of avenues to prove the case. Here are the ones in summary fashion that took place on 9-11.

Your schedule for September 11, 2001 was in the public domain since September 7, 2001. The Emma E. Booker School is only five miles from the Bradenton Airport, so you, and therefore the children in the classroom, might have been a target for the terrorists on 9/11. What was the intention of the Secret Service in allowing you to remain in the Emma E. Booker Elementary School, even though they were aware America was under attack?

15. Please explain why you remained at the Sarasota, Florida, Elementary School for a press conference after you had finished listening to the children read, when as a terrorist target, your presence potentially jeopardized the lives of the children?

These two questions prepared by the families of 9-11 victims for President Bush echo SenderBerl’s long-standing position that this is the clearest circumstantial proof of presidential complicity. Secret Service protocol required the Secret Service to whisk the President away from a known and putative target of the terrorism in play, the scope then unknown. For him to remain there and address the nation on national live television where an attack could have been perpetrated against him, exposing the school children to danger to their lives as well, contravenes every planning in place to protect the President of the United States in time of threat. When Andrew Card said, “America is under attack” there is no excuse that can be given that could condone the President remaining at the elementary school. The only conclusion is that the Bush administration knew the scope of the terrorism in play that day.

FAA Controllers to AA Flight 11:

8:24:38 Hijackers' voices heard: "We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you will be O.K. We are returning to the airport. Nobody move, everything will be O.K. If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet."
 
8:25:00 The control tower notifies several air traffic control centers that a hijacking is in progress.

This proves that there was no previous heightened alert as claimed by the Bush administration. Why? If there had been, the air traffic controllers, quite astute and quick, by the nature of their job and responsibilities, would have connected the dots on only one plane, not to say two and then four planes off transponder. They would have had a set plan and agenda and gotten NORAD on the horn via a direct link to intercept (assuming the President could step away from reading with the second graders). The point is clear that their response attested that they were not tasked on the threat of terrorists in the US planning to hijack planes and the further reality is that NORAD had ample time to intercept and the evidence is that they were directed not to immediately take off to intercept. This country has spent trillions on its military defense system and it is in place outside the theorem of Dr Rice that the problem was systemic and the lame argument that what could we expect in 233 days from the Bush administration to correct the systemic problem, that had the terrorists carried a nuclear payload, it would be evident to everyone that the responsibility was that of NORAD to intercept hijacked planes from reaching high density metropolitan areas.

Conclusion for the period September 11, 2001:  The circumstantial proof of complicity by the President and his administration is both clear cogent and convincing. When coupled with the direct evidence of the wanton and negligent failings to affirmatively protect the nation, leaving the barn door open to allow the events of 9-11 convinced many including ourselves of guilt. However, there is more evidence all consistent with the perspective that this administration’s complicity in the events of 9-11 is already beyond a reasonable doubt. Furthermore, SenderBerl believes that there was no six week period of heightened alert or else the FAA would have been able to quickly connect the dots when confronting the first airplane hijackings, not to say the implications of the second, third and fourth planes off transponder. If the planes were carrying nuclear payloads this argument would not be something dared contested by anyone, when outside the existence of systemic problems this nation has in place a trillion dollar plus investment in NORAD to protect this country from any possibility of nuclear attack. SenderBerl deems that this possibility could not be discounted during this period of time when the first plane went off transponder.

 September 12, 2001 through May 2002

Bin-Laden’s family allowed to leave USA

Bush allows the bin-Laden family to leave America when it grounds air flights for the rest of the nation.  We make our point by repeating a question we prepared for the President accordingly:

Mr. President if our initial mission was to capture Osama bin-Laden wouldn't the best source to ultimately track him down be to have his family here in the USA for questioning? However, when all flights were grounded, was it you personally that authorized them to leave the USA and if not who authorized it?

How many military lives may have been spared had the family been kept in the US? How many future lives of citizens, military and civilian, may have been saved? Did letting his family leave serve or diminish the national security interests of this country? How many innocent people have been victimized and otherwise burdened by the police state snare of the Patriot Act laws enacted under the guise of assisting national security interests?

Nation Vulnerable to Domestic Terrorism

OC Navy Adm. Yedidya Ya'ari said the United States fell asleep {on 9-11} in its watch over its airspace and shoreline."

SenderBerl leaves the argument to others that there were people forewarned about 9-11 hours before it occurred. However, what we believe has a direct link to the Bush administration’s complicity is the evidence that the nation stood the morning of 9-11 totally vulnerable to attack and offered no immediate prepared or structured response to the threat; that the President knowing the implications of a single hijacked plane – UNKNOWN to the general public since it was secreted from them and deliberately so – required him to forego the essential task of moving forward on his schedule to sit down and read with second grade school children in Sarasota. While we the American people would require two planes going into the World Trade Center towers to confirm terrorism, the President only needed to know that one plane was determined hijacked, which he had to know well before entering the Booker Elementary School.

BEN-VENISTE: At this point you were aware, were you not, of the most heightened alert level in the United States up to that point with respect to the potential for a terrorist attack of significant magnitude.

ARMITAGE: Yes, I was. I was one of those to whom Director Tenet turned, along with other seniors in the administration, and made it very clear that we had a big problem coming. He didn't know where and he didn't know when, but he said it was coming.

 

That’s one terrible pilot

December 4: 2001: Florida Town Hall meeting: “When another child asked him to describe his feelings on Sept. 11, Bush recounted how he was in Florida waiting to address a classroom full of students. "I saw an airplane hit the tower - the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, 'Well, there's one terrible pilot.' ..

The 9-11 Commission should really zing into his saying he saw the plane go into the first (north) WTC tower. There is only one way he may have in fact seen it: if he got a military feed of the event! This president knew from the record before the 9-11 commission that terrorists were in the US and were planning on hijacking a plane. Only if he is more stupid than some think he is, he could not fail, and at least his advisors could not fail, to connect a hijacked plane not to bad piloting but to the very terrorism forewarned. Moreover, by offering this the public, it is manifest that he believed that there would never be a formal 9-11 investigation and he demeaned and dishonored the country by laying such a comical remark upon the nation in December 2001 when he knew the truth behind the events of 9-11.

Mr. Bush, who has been criticized by Democrats and the press for taking a month long working vacation in Crawford, said Americans "are beginning to realize that this is our home." He added: "I'm a homebody. I like my home. I like my own bedroom. I like hanging out with my family and friends here."Although he was careful to say nice things about Washington and the White House, Mr. Bush made clear he prefers Crawford."You know, coming out here makes you realize that Washington is a wonderful place, but it's certainly not the center of all wisdom and knowledge," he said. "There is a lot of wisdom and knowledge in the minds and souls of the folks of Crawford, Texas, just like there are amongst some of the elite in Washington." His vacation has not been all rest. He spent hours Friday talking with military advisers in a marathon meeting at the ranch that would have been truncated by the crush of other business if it had been held in the White House. He also has been able to spend more time with National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice."As a matter of fact, in some ways this place is better for work," Mr. Bush said. "This place allows for more in-depth discussions. Condi and I spend a lot of time just sitting around visiting about our foreign policy matters." He added, "The CIA briefings I have on our porch - the end of our porch looking out over the lake." WASHINGTON TIMES AUG 28 01

I blew my chance to get on national TV when I attended my first presidential news conference Friday morning at the Crawford Community Center.The occasion was President Bush nominating Air Force Gen. Richard Myers as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. COX NEWS SERVICE AUG 28.

SenderBerl: Rice, Myers, military advisors. We trust the 9-11 Commission is discovering who was there and whether they found the time to discuss American's heightened status of alert and whether they were ready to intervene in case terrorists hijacked planes. Or was their discussion about "delayed response?" New Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. How timely.

Condy Rice was cover for a shadow government implementing a secret agenda

Consistent with the criminal design in play, was putting in Condoleezza Rice as the National Security Advisor. Colin Powell was put off and rightfully so when he was the medium deployed to instigate world approval of Bush’s design to invade Iraq on the claim that there was imminent danger from WMD. Thus SenderBerl pointed out that he tried to warn Dr Rice not be played for the fool. We wrote:

Is Colin Powell Sending a Message to Condoleezza Rice?
 April 3, 2004

Washington -- Secretary of State Colin Powell directly criticized the intelligence community for the first time Friday for giving him apparently flawed information that he used to justify the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Powell said the "most dramatic'' of his allegations -- that Saddam Hussein's regime had mobile germ labs -- was based on questionable U.S. intelligence. The allegations were central to the evidence that Powell dramatically presented to the U.N. Security Council on Feb. 5, 2003, as he urged a skeptical world body to confront Hussein. Powell said that as he prepared for his U.N. presentation, intelligence officials gave him data from four sources on mobile weapons laboratories. He insisted that he had pushed them to make sure their analysis was correct. "It was presented to me in the preparation of that (portfolio of evidence) as the best information and intelligence that we had," he said. "They certainly indicated to me ... that it was solid. "Now it appears not to be the case that it was solid,'' he said. He called on a federal commission investigating prewar intelligence to examine how the data had been gathered. The comments were an abrupt reversal for Powell, who had acknowledged disagreements among analysts but had not criticized the intelligence agencies.

SenderBerl: Let us interpret the timing of this admission: he is telling Rice they used me, fooled me, as a pawn and a dupe for an egregious act still unfolding for history; don't trust them (there is no doubt that Condy is under full time surveillance and supervision and there is little doubt that if Powell tried to tell this to her directly now, it would not prove wise for either of them). He is close to Condy Rice and no doubt sees that if as Secretary of State he could be summarily used to actuate their invidious agenda, being given the string of lies of how the mission was to serve the country and world, he has little doubt that Condy Rice can be further fooled to cover for the even more invidious crime behind the NWO curtain. If the 9-11 panel asks the questions they no doubt should ask then Rice's testimony could prove critical to the course of the future, that is how potentially important it may turn out to be.

Note that Tenet sensing that the President and his administration will soon implode testified truthfully that he had no contact with President Bush in August 2001.

 

 Condoleezza Rice made a historical faux pax in May 2002. She said before the world press:

 

RICE: Steve, I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon; that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile. All of this reporting about hijacking was about traditional hijacking. You take a plane - people were worried they might blow one up, but they were mostly worried that they might try to take a plane and use it for release of the blind sheik or some of their own people.

 

While Dr. Rice subsequently admitted that she misspoke, the essential factor is that it became clear when she made her admission that she was not apprised of the intel about terrorists planning on using planes as missiles until after she committed the faux pax in May 2002. At this point of time VP Cheney was pounding the table, creating fear in the children of America, that another act of domestic terrorism was imminent. Yet the President’s national security advisor had no knowledge for eight months AFTER 9-11 about it. She should have had it before 9-11 and she no doubt should have it after – and getting it eight months later only because of a global faux pax spoke to our assertion that she was not and is not the national security advisor. Thus, once the evidence is clear of Bush complicity in the events of 9-11 then it is equally clear that the complicity was in the hands of a shadow government operating in lieu and superseding those in office for the positions publicly held.

 

This is what we wrote on May 19, 2002:

 

We do not intend to get into this sad possibility now opened by the behavior of the political parties in Washington. Suffice it to say that even without the evidence we have secured that it sufficient to recognize that the major lies now undermine President Bush’s chances of re-election in 2004.

Now, here is why we believe this to be the case.

First, the major error committed was the statements made by C. Rice, his national security advisor, that the White House had no thought or idea that a plane would be used as a missile to wit: this was a new perspective, to which the White House was otherwise unaware. This is easily proven untrue by a series of reports throughout a four or five year period where the CIA and other agencies uncovered the strategic intent to use a plane as a missile to take out government related facilities/buildings.  Thus, we can conclude that Ms. Rice has cost herself her job because her remaining in this position will be a political liability in 2004. Thus, when no one is looking, she ultimately will be replaced.

Second, is Dick Cheney coming on so strong against an investigation of 9-11. The American public doesn’t care if it is an open or closed investigation, but they surely want to know that the check and balance system in Washington is in operation against the threat that its government serves as its greatest opponent, if not enemy. It surely wants to know that no one really knew this was forthcoming and allowed it to happen - especially with someone like Dick Cheney rattling their instincts.

We recently wrote:

Isn't this proof positive that Condy Rice was not and is not the NSA?

"She told the commission that she regretted those comments, because at the time she was not aware of intelligence, developed in the late 1990's, that
some terrorists were thinking of using airplanes as guided missiles. She told the commission in the private session that she should have said, "I
could not have imagined," according to one official familiar with the testimony, making it clear that some in the intelligence community knew
about those threats but that she did not. "Information about possible use of airplanes as missiles to destroy buildings was not briefed to her prior to that statement in May 2002," Mr. McCormack said."

Commission Member Lehman showed how ignorant Condy Rice is willing to admit to being in connection the scope of her responsibilities:

LEHMAN: Were you told that there were numerous young Arab males in flight training, had taken flight training, were in flight training? RICE: I was not. And I'm not sure that that was known at the center. LEHMAN: Were you told that the U.S. Marshal program had been changed to drop any U.S. marshals on domestic flights? RICE: I was not told that. LEHMAN: Were you told that the red team in FAA - the red teams for 10 years had reported their hard data that the U.S. airport security system never got higher than 20 percent effective and was usually down around 10 percent for 10 straight years? RICE: To the best of my recollection, I was not told that. LEHMAN: Were you aware that INS had been lobbying for years to get the airlines to drop the transit without visa loophole that enabled terrorists and illegals to simply buy a ticket through the transit-without-visa waiver and pay the airlines extra money and come in? RICE: I learned about that after September 11th. LEHMAN: Were you aware that the INS had quietly, internally, halved its internal security enforcement budget? RICE: I was not made aware of that. I don't remember being made aware of that, no. LEHMAN: Were you aware that it was the U.S. government established policy not to question or oppose the sanctuary policies of New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, San Diego for political reasons, which policy in those cities prohibited the local police from cooperating at all with federal immigration authorities? RICE: I do not believe I was aware of that. LEHMAN: Were you aware - to shift a little bit to Saudi Arabia - were you aware of the program that was well established that allowed Saudi citizens to get visas without interviews? RICE: I learned of that after 9-11. LEHMAN: Were you aware of the activities of the Saudi ministry of religious affairs here in the United States during that transition? RICE: I believe that only after September 11th did the full extent of what was going on with the ministry of religious affairs became evident. LEHMAN: Were you aware of the extensive activities of the Saudi government in supporting over 300 radical teaching schools and mosques around the country, including right here in the United States? RICE: I believe we've learned a great deal more about this and addressed it with the Saudi government since 9-11. LEHMAN: Were you aware at the time of the fact that Saudi Arabia had and were you told that they had in their custody the CFO and the closest confidant of al-Qaida - of Osama bin Laden, and refused direct access to the United States? RICE: I don't remember anything of that kind. LEHMAN: Were you aware that they would not cooperate and give us access to the perpetrators of the Khobar Towers attack? RICE: I was very involved in issues concerning Khobar Towers and our relations with several governments concerning Khobar Towers. LEHMAN: Thank you. Were you aware - and it disturbs me a bit, and again, let me shift to the continuity issues here. Were you aware that it was the policy of the Justice Department - and I'd like you to comment as to whether these continuities are still in place - before I go to Justice, were you aware that it was the policy and I believe remains the policy today to fine airlines if they have more than two young Arab males in secondary questioning because that's discriminatory? RICE: No, I have to say that the kind of inside arrangements for the FAA are not really in my... LEHMAN: Well, these are not so inside. Were you aware that the FAA up until 9-11 thought it was perfectly permissible to allow four-inch knife blades aboard? RICE: I was not aware. LEHMAN: OK. SenderBerl in May 2002, when Condy Rice made her classic faux pax regarding ignorance about terrorists planning on using planes as missiles to drive them into buildings, stood aware of what Condy Rice has the audacity to tell the nation and world she did not know. Incredibly, our position has always been that she is telling the truth. Our ability to accept it as the truth is due that it is totally consistent with her not being the National Security Advisor. Yet, while she was ignorant, her role was central to the success of 9-11. <http://www.senderberl.com/bushrice.htm>www.senderberl.com/bushrice.htm

IF YOU STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT, CONDY RICE IS TELLING US SHE WAS NOT AND IS NOT THE NSA. SHE CANNOT DENY IT, BUT CAN OPEN THE PORTAL FOR US TO MOVE ON IT. COLIN POWELL NO DOUBT AGREES WITH OUR PERSPECTIVE AND HE'S HARD PRESSED TO PUBLICLY COMMENT ON IT

Pinpoint Accuracy

SenderBerl long has argued that the plane hitting the south tower on the eastern side was directed into that spot since it required pinpoint accuracy to collapse the tower, SenderBerl arguing that there were internal explosives that went off on the north eastern side of the building triggered with the plane’s destructive impact.

Therefore it is the undersigned’s perspective that the airplanes served as a trigger or cover for the implosion of the buildings that were assisted by planted devices in the skyscraper structures. As a professional demolition expert could attest, it takes only several well-situated devices when aided by burning jet fuel to do what the world witnessed only two days ago.

Sender, Berl & Sons 09/13/2001

The graphic (at http://www.senderberl.com/ps/ps2/index.html#L11) in our opinion is wrong on two important dimensions. First it was not a wayward near miss of the South Tower. It was an exact on target intentional planned strike against the South Tower, one that allowed the South Tower to first collapse albeit the North Tower suffered fifteen minutes earlier a direct hit with fuel spread through the building internally because of it. Video Reference A shows that the jet deliberately banks into the right corner of the building as though drawn in by a homing signal. Now, keep in mind that the building falls, see Photo Reference F, both fall, in fact, consistent with internal explosions and never did we see or hear discussion in the media from demolition experts to assess it or deny it. SenderBerl detailed a string of flash news stories contradicting any content that jet fuel in any event took down the buildings as seen. If you look at the photo showing the intense glow on the far most corner (Photo Reference A), this is consistent with the reality offered by SenderBerl that demolition only requires a series of explosives strategically placed. With internal explosives packed at the eastern edge and/or along the eastern side, the plane striking the eastern side on the southern end (Photo References D&E), results in what is displayed by Photo Reference B, showing that the building literally failed all along the eastern side. It was a pinpoint hit and the outbound explosion as seen is not the result of the graphic from psyopnews.com but from the planted explosives. Look at the video again and again. The plane simply does not strike at the angle the graphic imputes. Furthermore, Video References B&C above, show that the military’s radar stealth high speed aircraft was in the area and when coupled together with everything linked to above and discussed by us on this site, it simply suggests a crime which now defines our current time and condition.

For the structure to break as it did above, to topple earlier than the North Tower, which was struck first and struck dead center, required the pinpoint hit SenderBerl has detailed as the one planned to effectuate the result witnessed by history. We have also added under Photo Reference C the plume that highlights the internal demolition discharge that not coincidentally was in direct alignment with the pinpoint strike on the other side of the tower causing the collapse recorded by the photo just above.

POD
 http://www.rense.com/misslepod.JPG

Now, an Internet site has posted photos of a pod underneath the plane that supports those contenting that it was directed into the building by a hovering AWAC military plane. In this regard the presence of a pod underneath a plane, where it should have not existed, brings very damaging evidence in further support of military complicity. We note that the Internet site highlighting these photos also contends that a missile emanated from the pod prior to striking the building. SenderBerl has reservations about this argument and thinks it is overkill and unnecessary in that the very presence of the pod plainly attests to governmental/military complicity. In this regard we note one of the newspaper extracts from August 2001:

Mr. Bush, who has been criticized by Democrats and the press for taking a month long working vacation in Crawford, said Americans "are beginning to realize that this is our home." He added: "I'm a homebody. I like my home. I like my own bedroom. I like hanging out with my family and friends here."Although he was careful to say nice things about Washington and the White House, Mr. Bush made clear he prefers Crawford."You know, coming out here makes you realize that Washington is a wonderful place, but it's certainly not the center of all wisdom and knowledge," he said. "There is a lot of wisdom and knowledge in the minds and souls of the folks of Crawford, Texas, just like there are amongst some of the elite in Washington." His vacation has not been all rest. He spent hours Friday talking with military advisers in a marathon meeting at the ranch that would have been truncated by the crush of other business if it had been held in the White House. He also has been able to spend more time with National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice."As a matter of fact, in some ways this place is better for work," Mr. Bush said. "This place allows for more in-depth discussions. Condi and I spend a lot of time just sitting around visiting about our foreign policy matters." He added, "The CIA briefings I have on our porch - the end of our porch looking out over the lake." WASHINGTON TIMES AUG 28 01

I blew my chance to get on national TV when I attended my first presidential news conference Friday morning at the Crawford Community Center.The occasion was President Bush nominating Air Force Gen. Richard Myers as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. COX NEWS SERVICE AUG 28.

SenderBerl: Rice, Myers, military advisors. We trust the 9-11 Commission is discovering who was there and whether they found the time to discuss America's heightened status of alert and whether they were ready to intervene in case terrorists hijacked planes. Or was their discussion about "delayed response?" New Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. How timely.

Now we conclude with the Osama bin-Laden’s own words in or about November 2001:

Bin Laden: (Inaudible) ... we calculated in advance the number of casualties from the enemy, who would be killed based on the position of the tower. We calculated that the floors that would be hit would be three or four floors. I was the most optimistic of them all. (Inaudible) ... due to my experience in this field, I was thinking that the fire from the gas in the plane would melt the iron structure of the building and collapse the area where the plane hit and all the floors above it only. This is all that we had hoped for.

This shows that Osama bin-Laden had planned a hijacking and even driving the plane into a building. But he and others were thinking that the damage and consequence would be fraction of what was witnessed that day. The consequences were so much more than anyone could have imagined. This is further evidence of government/military complicity because the known truth from experts is that it required precise strikes and added explosives and complicity to see what did unravel for the world that day.

Expert testimony would establish that no one from a flight school could have consummated the damage witnessed that day including the toppling of two major symbolic US structures offering the Bush administration the awaited domestic predicate to launch plans in hand to wage the war it subsequently enabled.

No one can tell us that taking three thousand souls justified any appropriate agenda for this country. Sender, Berl & Sons Inc. has devoted many years to detail that those behind the events of 9-11 represent the elitist centrix of aristocratic times past, seeking to extract the wealth of this country and use its military before it uproots it to obtain world domination and control. Its first mission was to move against Venezuela, Iraq, Syria and Iran  (and subsequently Saudi Arabia to seize operational control of OPEC) but due to the impossible, Saddam neither deploying nor possessing WMD, we all have this one chance to expunge the enemies within from our government. See www.senderberl.com/BMI.pdf

Israel had the opportunity to do it with the Rabin Assassination. It sat silent and stupid and fell into the N.W.O. abyss. We have this opportunity with 9-11. Fail to take advantage of this open window and we will sink into the deeper recesses of the abyss as well.

Suggested Findings for the 9-11 Commission

Circumstantial and direct evidence prove beyond a reasonable doubt the following:

a.       The Bush administration showed wanton neglect in protecting the nation on 9-11 from anticipated and forewarned domestic terrorism;

b.      As to allow the conclusion that it allowed the historically recorded terrorism of that day to take place;

c.       That the Bush administration or a shadow government in control thereof was complicit in the events of that day to elevate the terrorism otherwise planned by Al-Qaeda cells in the United States, taking flight lessons to aid in a planned hijacking of US aircraft;

d.      That the Bush administration could have prepared and should have prepared a structured plan to respond to the imminent threat of airplane hijackings but did not only do so but the record shows that the sitting administration did not in fact convey requisite and needed information and command for the FBI, FAA and other agencies to properly move forward to preclude the attack or prevent the damage done on 9-11 to major metropolitan areas;

e.       That the Congress is compelled to pursue the issue that the long in place NORAD system to protect the country including major metropolitan areas from nuclear attack, failed on 9-11 to intervene even after four planes went off transponder and more than one plane was known hijacked by 8:25 AM that day;

f.        That the President and his administration’s argument that it simply underestimated the threat and danger in play and that there were systemic problems in the country’s infrastructure to meet and address the attack of 9-11, which it could not correct in its first 233 days in office, is deemed fully irrelevant to the conclusions and determinations otherwise rendered above under the known facts and circumstances deemed central and relevant to the events of 9-11.

WHEREFORE, this Commission’s findings should be forwarded to the United States Congress for immediate action deemed fitting, appropriate and required in view of the serious and dire implications thereof to the nation.

Supplemental Suggested Finding by the 9-11 Commission

The briefing paper was presented to Mr. Bush on Aug. 6 at his Texas ranch. The memorandum, declassified on April 10 by the White House at the commission's request, included some ominous information. It said that Qaeda operatives had been in the United States for years, might be planning an attack in the United States and could be focusing on a building in Lower Manhattan as a target. New York Times per rense.com http://www.rense.com/general51/orug.ht

Inasmuch as the National Security Agency carrying the highest levels of technologies to intercept global communications, and who focus on voices such as Osama bin-Laden, this Commission suggests that the communication to Osama bin-Laden on or about September 6, 2001 was in fact intercepted EXPLAINING the President’s sudden change in schedule internally on the very same date, announced on September 7, 2001, to include visits to elementary schools in Florida, further explaining his remaining at the publicly known facility albeit such facility could only be an understood target of the then unknown scope of the terrorism in play on 9-11, absent the President and his administration knowing the true scope of the terrorism in play that day, further suggesting that the President and his administration knew that domestic terrorism would take place on 9-11 and that it would center on lower Manhattan and other areas of the country outside the pale of the State of Florida, and in view of his decision to enter the Booker Elementary School, knowing that the country was subject to major forthcoming terrorism, knowing that planes were hijacked and a large number off transponder, compromised the ability of NORAD had they engaged the US commercial aircraft to preclude what could have putatively been a nuclear payload from reaching major metropolitan areas leaving the conclusion the President was complicit in the events of 9-11 in contravention to his oath of office.
