No God, and the Old Elm Tree

Recently, someone named nogod on a message board www.oldelmtree.com, linked to a blog of mine about two 9/11 researchers who post at the Reality Shack forum, Max Konrardy & Simon Hytten. nogod explains why:

Since Simon Hytten has repeatedly refused to answer my questions I was forced to search elsewhere for the answers. What I came across was a blog by another truther. (the link is below)

I guess I have to take this guys word for it since Simon chooses to ignore my direct questions. Be sure to read Simons reaction below the article in the link. Enjoy!

nogod's putting "truther" in italics leads me to believe he is in the opposing camp---what is generally known as a "skeptic." I don't know what questions he'd previously asked of Simon that had remained unanswered until he discovered my blog. I read through the ten-page thread and found nothing that was pertinent. The sections of my blog he quotes speak to the authenticity of authorship of the work attributed to Simon Shack and hoi poloi, but I quite clearly make no claims one way or the other.

nogod downloaded from my blog and reupped to his thread a photograph I'd posted of Max and Simon, which I'd taken in Rome. This caused Simon Shack to break his OldElmTree silence, and he posted a request to the thread:

Dear administrators,

I ask you to remove the above picture. It was copied-and-pasted by member 'nogod' from the blog of Steven Welch (aka "Steven Warran"). Steven was my guest in Rome for 2 weeks, during the 6-month span in which my fellow researcher Hoi Polloi and I were working on the "Vicsim" research.

We both let Steven snap pictures of us all along - asking him specifically NOT to publish them on the internet - for obvious privacy reasons. As soon as Steven returned to the USA, he posted pictures he had snapped of both of us on his blog.

Thanks for removing the above picture - besides, it's a very unflattering one: I have no such beer-belly ...hehe...that's a gust of wind filling up my T-shirt !

Within 15 minutes an administrator of the board, "Andrea," wrote "I will remove the picture," and she did so, but nogod got the last word in, saying

"Sorry that wasnt called for to post his photo. But non the less it was fair, but still not proper."

Whatever "questions" nogod had of Simon must not have been very important, because the thread died at this point.

All of this does call into question the issues of fairness, propriety, and the "obviousness" of privacy, but it also speaks to a larger issue of public identity, which lies at the heart of the 9/11 conspiracy, and hence our search for truth.

Any number of prominent 9/11 researchers, such as Richard Gage, Judy Wood, Dick Eastman, Paul Thompson, Jim Hoffman, Aldo Marquis, and Phil Jahan, are publicly known by their names and images, both online and in "real world" gathering places, such as research symposium.

A different class of players has operated anonymously online in blogs, web sites, and message boards.

Max Konrardy & Simon Hytten were working anonymously online under the nicknames Simon Shack and hoi poloi until just before I posted the first of two blogs about them. Both of their names were already "outed" on a blog called killtownsecretarchive, which focuses on policing an entity known as "Killtown," who is a 9/11 research colleague of Simon and Max's.

The saga between the online 9/11 archivist called Killtown, and its equally anonymous nemesis, Killtown's Secret Archive, ran a course over the past year, and the central issue there was also the public identification of "personas," or the outing of covert agents/actors/players who figure in the 9/11 narrative, for the "real" underlying human beings. Killtown had identified individuals like Val McClatchey, and Mark Humphrey as somehow being illegitimate. Apparently this was a major breach of covert etiquette, but even amid their rancorous infighting, the Secret Archive never dared to out Killtown himself/herself, singular or plural.

It is interesting to note that Simon and Hoi are aligned with others such as Killtown, where they apparently must wear masks to hide some covert reality behind "obvious" rationals.

In my own 9/11 work I've found no need for the privacy that Simon feels is so necessary. My home address, and telephone number, are as easy to locate online as they once were through a telephone book. Even though I have espoused some pretty radical positions, which were sure to alienate and arouse many different factions involved in 9/11, only once in the past five years have I received an annoyance phone call, and that was from somebody who was charmingly drunk.

I address all of this for a specific reason, and that is the same reason I posted images of Simon and Hoi in the first place---the construction and maintenance of an overt public record.

Simon makes two serious errors of fact in his request to the administrators of the OldElmTree board.

First, I was only a guest at Simon's house outside of Rome for one week, not two. I spent a second week at an hotel in Rome, and Simon and a friend came into town on my last night there to have dinner with me. I don't mean to minimize his hospitality, but it is interesting to note that Simon seems to have experienced the visit through my eyes, and not his own.

Secondly, Simon says that as soon as I returned to the U.S. I published photographs of the both of them, and this statement is wrong on two points. First, it wasn't until I was banned from participating on the Reality Shack forum, which Simon and Hoi administrate, that on October 29, I posted the blog Reality Shack 9/11: The Famous hoi polloi, aka Max Konrardy at Work, which was my attempt at explicating the strange interpersonal dynamics I found myself confronted with vis-a-vis Simon and his research collective. (And I only posted a single, obscured image of Max/Hoi then--not of the both of them.)

Two weeks prior, on October 15, I had posted a blog Jeannieann Maffeo and Ruth Magdaline, which was my first effort working under the new research paradigm of the Vicsim report (and let it be said that none of our interpersonal conflict impacts on the validity of that insight.)

Simon left friendly comments on that blog praising my work, and four days later, he came out with a YouTube video on the same subject. I may have fed him some information concerning inconsistencies in a BBC interview, but if so, he certainly didn't give me any credit. However, shortly thereafter, a message board that opposes the work of Simon, Hoi and myself, PumpItOut, came out with an attempt at minimizing the damage of the news report we'd highlighted.

It wasn't until six months later, after Simon had been impressed with my subsequent work on the phenomena of false victim identity that he asked me to rejoin the Reality Shack forum, but where I was summarily dismissed for a second time, that I chose to publish what I thought was an important, and not gratuitous, photograph of the pair for the historical record.

Firefighter Darren Harkins, Pilot Timothy Martins and Ladder 2

In doing some research recently comparing the different way in which the media, and those they report on, handled the August, 2007 fire and loss of life at the Deutsche Bank building near the World Trade Center site, as distinct from the earlier attacks on the WTC itself, I was struck by the elaborate compendiums of news articles assembled by the firefighters themselves in 2007, such as this one.

For the much more devastating attacks of 9/11, no professional firematics organization cared enough to collect and protect the public record of their experiences in this fashion.

At www.thebravest.com/FDNYNewsArchive, my work was speeded along by the comprehensiveness of their efforts at listing links to news articles. Nowhere did I find a broken link, or a robots.txt exclusion, which is the bane of online research into the earlier tragedy.

That is until I got down to the last article on the page. There I found a tantalizing snippet, from a piece in the Des Moines Register, dated December 2, 2008.

Titled, "9/11 survivor inspires with talk about courage," it was about a former New York City firefighter, Darren Harkins, who was the sole survivor of Ladder Company 2 on Sept. 11, 2001. Seven years later, he was living in Waukee, Iowa, while attending law school at Drake University. But when I tried to expand the start of the article to the complete version, for the first time in using this web-page resource I was defeated.

So, with the article's subtitle, "Sole survivor of FDNY Ladder Company 2 tells Johnston Middle School ninth-graders that serving your community the most important job," I searched Google, where I located its home page link at the Register, but it was broken. So I attempted to find a cached copy of the same page at archive.org. There I got the dreaded "Blocked Site Error. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008812020315 is not available in the Wayback Machine."

I don't know if a "Blocked Site Error" is more sinister than a "robots.txt exclusion," but they both indicate to me that a deliberate effort was made to suppress the piece of journalism. Since a Google search for Ladder Company 2 + "Darren Harkins" returns only seven hits, I knew something was up.

A broader search for Darren Harkins the NYC fireman, returns only a single pre-9/11 reference in Google---it is to his time in a foot race on Staten Island in 2000. Only one other return references him---from the Staten Island Advance, where Harkins is vaguely quoted in a piece about Ladder 2 victim George DiPasquale.

If the rest of the Des Moines Register article was as damaging as the beginning, I wondered what it might contain worth the effort at suppression. Here's the way it led off...

"He now lives in Waukee, and recently spoke to Johnston Middle School ninth-graders about the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, which killed 2,751, including office workers, airline passengers and emergency crews in the buildings.

"Harkins told students that in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks he worked to dig survivors out of the rubble at ground zero.

"The ninth-grade seminar curriculum focuses on character education traits every two weeks. When the mother of a student heard about Harkins, she recommended that he speak to classes about the trait of courage. The students were in second grade when the attack happened, so they didn't understand the impact that 9/11 events had on the country.

"It was a really good fit with all of our curriculum," said ninth-grade English teacher Kate Leo.

"Harkins, a New York native, moved to Iowa after retiring from the fire department in 2005 because of health issues. Harkins met his wife, Kaylene, on the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa. Now, Harkins is a law student at Drake University and had never done a presentation about his experiences before speaking to Johnston classes.

"To Harkins, what he went through was just his job..."

...where it peters out.

I suppose it wouldn't be so odd for a former NYFD member to go off to law school in Iowa, but in a Drake University newsletter was this: "Former NYPD firefighter aims to use his law degree to help Iowans," where we are told Harkins was setting up a law practice in Iowa too!

"Darren Harkins isn't the typical Drake University Law School graduate. The New York City native is 38 and worked as New York City police officer for two years. He then served for 10 years as a FDNY firefighter, was promoted to lieutenant and helped with rescue and recovery efforts during the 9/11 terrorist attack.

"The graduation ceremony is a jumping off point for me, and my professional career as an attorney is starting," said Harkins, who also holds a bachelor's degree in political science and history from the State University of New York, Binghamton.

In what may have seemed like quick work to envious fellow grads, the May 2009 piece reports that

He graduated in December and already has passed the Iowa Bar Exam, been sworn in as a practicing attorney and established his own law practice in the Des Moines area. New furniture was just delivered last week to his office at 8450 Hickman Road in Clive.

The Drake newsletter informs us that...

Harkins came to live in Iowa in 2006, when he moved here with his wife Kaylene from Nevada, Iowa. The two met when Harkins visited the state for the annual RAGBRAI bike tour in 1999. She moved to New York City in 2000 and they got married in 2003.

...without informing us as to what made Harkins visit the state for the bike tour to begin with.

Unless his wife were very well connected in Nevada, Iowa, Harkins' chances for success in Clive, Iowa might not pay off any student loans anytime soon. But it is not just in an unlikely start to a mid-western law career that makes me question his motives and agenda

Harkins said he always wanted to go to law school and knew Drake was a good fit for him because of its size and reputation for its faculty-student ratio that lends itself to close relationships.

"My whole life, I have chosen to work in public service," said Harkins, who also worked at the Legal Clinic through Drake's clinical program. There, he helped people with various challenges and that experience inspired him to focus helping people through civil practice.

"Although he won't be battling fires and carrying people to safety, Harkins said he knows he can count on his new career to help him continue to find "fulfillment in helping people."

It is in Darren Harkins special status as being the only "survivor" of Ladder 2 that draws attention to him.

Of the seven men said to have died from Ladder 2: Michael J Clarke, 27, George DiPasquale, 33, Denis P Germain, 33 , Daniel E Harlin, 41, Frederick Ill, Jr, 49, Carl Molinaro, 32, and Dennis M Mulligan, 32, only Fire Captain Frederick Ill has a significantly established profile.

He is also described as being Staff Sergeant Frederick Ill, who had sixteen years of military service, was a fire captain, and was in the New York State Army Reserves at the time of the attack.

Much research is being done to ferret out fake identities on the 9/11 victim's rosters, but this is one of the first clear indications that a survivor of that day, a fireman who escaped from inside the North Tower, may be a manufactured identity--with all that entails for proving NYFD collusion with the 9/11 plot.

But even more fascinating is someone named Timothy J. Martins.

On a thread dated April 1, 2010, at the www.firehouse.com/forums is this grave warning

Calling all members of the NYFD, specifically the NYFD Ladder 2 of Manhattan:

Within the last week the Air Line Pilot Association (ALPA) union published in their April 2010 member magazine (which was distributed to over 53,000 members) an article on an American Eagle airline pilot named TIMOTHY J. MARTINS who, among other verified false claims, has made claims to be a member of NYFD Ladder Company 2. In the article he also claimed to be an F-16 fighter pilot in the New Jersey Air National Guard as well as a Paramedic for New York City. Both of these claims have been since verified as false. As a result MULTIPLE military and airline forums numbering in excess of ten have begun threads on this individual and more and more of his lies have surfaced.

He does claim to be a volunteer of the Nesconset Fire Department, which does appear to be true, however.

The severity of his blatant false claims has led to both the ALPA and his employer beginning an investigation into this individual. In the meantime it appears as though he has been suspended from his duties with pay.

Also, below is a link to the military forum that broke the story and continues to discuss this issue.

http://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums.../page__st__160

The question I have for you is: Is this individual indeed a member of Ladder 2? Is he even a Firefighter for NY? Or is it another one of his lies that is greatly disrespectful of Firefighters everywhere and the great service to their country?

Thank you for your time.

What makes this EVEN MORE fascinating can be found in an article in the New York Post on April 1, 2010, "American Eagle pilot grounded after lying about background," by Christine Negroni, which states

A pilot for a commuter airline that flies out of all three New York airports was grounded after telling multiple lies about his background to make himself look a poster boy for his industry in a magazine profile, The Post has learned.

Timothy Martins, who flies for American Eagle, told the magazine, published by his union, that he’s an active member of the New Jersey Air National Guard, an FDNY firefighter and a graduate of an aviation school on Long Island.

None of it was true, officials of the agencies said.

The safety of regional commuter carriers and their pilot training came under heavy scrutiny after a Colgan Air jet crashed near Buffalo last February, killing 50 people.

Many of the smaller carriers pay their pilots peanuts, give them insufficient rest time between flights and make them commute thousands of miles.

The story about Martins was written, in part, to counter the bad publicity resulting from the crash and other highly embarrassing incidents — including an airliner overshooting Minneapolis while its pilots chatted about their schedules.

Andrea Huguely, a spokeswoman for American Eagle, which is owned by American Airlines, refused to comment on the allegations.

But she insisted that Martins holds all the required FAA certifications for his job as a first officer. There’s no indication he lied to his employer about his background.

Martins, who has been grounded, did not respond to a call and an email requesting for comment.

The controversy began after the lengthy article appeared in the April edition of the Air Line Pilots Association magazine.

Questions about his claim to be an F-16 pilot in the 177th Fighter Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard soon began circulating on the Internet.

Major Yvonne Mays, spokeswoman for the Jersey Guard, said it didn’t "have any record of a pilot" named Martins.

The 24-year old, who is from Long Island, also claimed to be a firefighter and paramedic in New York. But an FDNY spokesman said, "He’s not a firefighter, he has not worked for our department."

Dowling College confirmed that Martin attended the school, but said he did not graduate and his years of attendance do not correspond to the dates he said he was there.

Jim Hall, former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board said if Martins lied, it should be of concern to American Eagle.

"Anyone who is charged with a responsibility for transporting the lives of other people safely who is evidently intentionally fabricating or embellishing credentials or falsifying stories, that’s obviously a terrible problem that should be of concern to the airline," he said.

An ALPA spokeswoman declined comment.

That Colgan Air jet crash near Buffalo was the flight which killed Beverly Eckert!

Didn't their mothers ever tell them? Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive?

1/8/2009 - Senior Airman Adam McCarty helps transfer a New York Fire Department flag between two Army units before a transfer of authority ceremony at Ali Base, Iraq, Jan. 6. The 962nd Ordnance Company, 1st Platoon, deployed from Schenectady, N.Y., transferred the U.S. and New York Fire Department flags to the 157th Combat Service Support Battalion, which is deployed from Willow Grove, Pa. The flags were flown over the World Trade Center Ground Zero site for four months after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, by firefighters from Engine Company 8, Ladder Company 2 and Battalion 8. Since then, these flags have been in the care of six Army units deployed in Iraq and have returned home twice.

Covert Tradecraft

A compendium posted online by the Hartford Courant shortly after the attacks of September 11th, 2001, attempts to assemble a list of all of Connecticut's September 11th victims. It names 149 individuals who either resided in the state, or did so formerly. Although undated, many of the quotes obviously came from interviews held just days after the attack---when many people were somehow still holding out hope their family members might return. The individual obits reference other news sources published throughout the state, and it is perhaps the earliest, and most comprehensive effort made to recognize those lost there.

Read in it's entirety as a historical document, it also reveals many of the attributes, which I have determined, are signs that many of the survivors are not who they say they are at all, but rather are members of an organized covert class who had only stepped into temporary public roles to serve just this purpose.

The recent series in the Washington Post, Top Secret America: A Hidden World, Growing Out of Control, references this fact of covert life directly, with a report about

...employees who must submit to strict, intrusive rules. They take lie-detector tests routinely, sign nondisclosure forms and file lengthy reports whenever they travel overseas. They are coached on how to deal with nosy neighbors and curious friends. Some are trained to assume false identities

So, poising as someone who you are really not is a matter of routine clandestine trade craft, and like any specialized skill or training, the results can be judged as being either a successful or failed effort.

Having built up a worldview in these matters myself, I can now spot repeated patterns in information, even within the compromised matrix of the overall media output. Corrupt personnel in the media are enormously adept at controlling the flow of information in a unified fashion to suit certain private agendas, however they also work alongside other honest, gullible and unknowing colleagues. It was in this way that the big secrets once could be kept.

The Post estimated that 265,000 contractors in 1,931 companies outside of government are currently doing top-secret work, in addition to the approximately 600,000 employees within government agencies and departments with the same level of clearance. This serves as the foundation class of an American culture large enough to embrace the practical outlines of a 9/11 conspiracy. Many people within the confines of that secret world were understandably distressed at whatever knowledge of bits and pieces of truth they held within their individual domains, and although unable to speak out publicly about it, nonetheless support the exoteric efforts at 9/11 truth and reconciliation.

There are many signs that the 9/11 plan was being hatched early on in the Clinton administration---so at the highest level, a decade is not too long a time frame to imagine as a parameter. More common for high-profile players is a three-year stint, a gig that is found frequently on CIA resumes. But it is startling to note how many people were only established in their roles for a few weeks or months. Whether it was in a new job at Cantor-Fitzgerald, a new house in a new city, or even in short-term, sham marriages, the record is riddled with this last minute push to plump the victims rosters. I think the reporters at the Courant were on to this fact somehow, and didn't fail to note the fact whenever it was uncovered.

I posted the Courant piece on a blog, Connecticut's Sept. 11 Victims, where I highlighted the many references I found there. A short duration in a role is one of the dominant characteristics that helps to spot and uncover these false identities.

Another telltale characteristic are people being listed as "formerly" a resident of the state. A remarkable collection of articles was published in The Fairfield Citizen that addressed the issue of memorializing individuals who only had vague "ties" to a specific locality. A subtext that I read into the published work is that these supposed victims were little known or appreciated within their communities. Greenwich, for example, could have either a dozen victims, or twice that number, depending on how strict the definition of a place "owning" a victim was---or in other words, how widely the identities were established and known.

Another aspect of validation for an identity is in the use of politicians and small town elected officials to provide credibility that a particular name or identity really existed. This extended all the way up to Connecticut's governor vouchsafing the existence, and final extinguishment, of the Rev. Francis Edward Grogan, who AP first reported was from Easton, but whose place of actual residency has shifted often in subsequent reports.

Although a memorial service was held there shortly after the attacks that was attended by 800 mourners, and a local funeral home in Easton handled his affairs, over a score of articles in the Fairfield Citizen comment on an Easton memorial plan for the three members of the Hanson family who died, but never mention Father Grogan once, even though they all died aboard Flight 175!

Clearly, the 9/11 perpetrators are a vagabond bunch.

An interesting thread running throughout the obituaries are the many references made to friends and family members who swarmed Manhattan, blanketing the city with missing-persons posters. This was a major deployment of thousands of 9/11 personnel, and they all seem to want credit for their efforts in order to look good to their bosses. It was in this shoe-leather fashion that identities were primarily established, but the overkill from Connecticut is striking! Here are a small sampling

"A colleague told Kathi Curioli he last saw her husband, Paul Curioli, of Norwalk, fleeing down the stairwell on the 78th floor. Eight family members were searching hospitals throughout the city, handing out fliers with her husband's photo, she said."

"Several of Randolph Scott's relatives fanned out around New York City on Wednesday and Thursday with his picture, anxiously showing it to emergency workers and television crews."

Bruce Eagleson, 53, of Middlefield, was an employee of the Los Angeles-based Westfield Corp.

"The company has hired a private security firm to help look for Eagleson and distribute his photo to area hospitals and media."

Bryan C. Bennett, 25,

"Since Tuesday, his tight-knit group of friends, which reach back to his days growing up in Glen Ridge, N.J., have been searching for him in New York City."

Jeffrey Bittner

"...while her older brother, Michael, Jeff's girlfriend, and other relatives and friends have hunkered down in New York in an attempt to find out anything they can about Jeff's whereabouts."

Cheryl Ann Monyak, 43, Greenwich, whose

"childhood friend Debbie Brydon, who is heading to New York City today with fellow friends Cindy Lamoureaux and Valarie Rourke to search for news about Monyak and spread her picture among emergency workers."

Whether these three women are real people is debatable, but they were gung-ho Friends of Cheryl's for the duration.

I think a factor in fake identities is the use of manufactured "twins." How easy it would be to say someone had a secret twin at home that no one knew about, one who could go on living---like the second-wife of Ted Olsen---while the dead rest.

Like Sean Schielke, 27, formerly of Southbury, who "moved to New York City three years ago," and became a stock trader for Cantor Fitzgerald five months before 9/11. He is survived by his twin "Brandon."

In a fascinating essay in The London Review of Books by a young man who had volunteered at the Cantor family grief center, which had moved from the Pierre Hotel ballroom to the Plaza Hotel ballroom, we get a glimpse:

Then a young Asian man dressed in an immaculate grey suit and grey tie joined me. He was wearing a name tag that said ‘Kristina’.

I asked him how he happened to be here.

‘I had a friend who worked there,’ he said.

‘I’m sorry,’ I said.

‘It’s no big deal for me. It’s not like I’m in his family. They’re really suffering.’

‘How did you know each other?’

‘We met in college, through a mutual friend I knew in high school. Yeah, man, Sean – that was his name.’ He shook his head and smiled. ‘He was a total derelict.’ Pause. ‘What’s crazy is that he’s got an identical twin and I don’t think anyone here knows about that. He’s just like him. And he’s coming out here now. Man, when the people at Cantor see him it’ll blow them away. He’s just like Sean.’

We were silent for a second. It occurred to me that all the people who might recognise Sean’s identical twin had probably perished.

‘Now he’s gonna have to rage twice as hard for both of them,’ Kristina added.

A dynamic feature of the fakery was the use of prestigious institutions to provide a cover. I'll quote one obit in full, that of the euphonious Tyler V. Ugolyn, 23, of Ridgefield

Ugolyn graduated from Ridgefield High School in 1997 and worked at the World Trade Center. "He was a great kid and a very excellent student," said Al Trimpert, his former basketball coach. "He lived to play basketball." Several colleges recruited the 6-foot-2 Ugolyn. He ultimately chose Columbia University. He hasn't been seen since Tuesday.

Tyler would have been at best just graduated from Columbia in 2001. It is almost unbelievable that such gall could be a component of the conspiracy, but I think it may very well be.

James Nachtwey

In a recent image search for work from September 11th, 2001 by photographer James Nachtwey, I came across this infamous image attributed to Nachtwey on a Time Magazine archival page titled "September 11, 2001 Photographs from the archive of Time photographer James Nachtwey," one of a group of 15 images he took that day posted there.

I had been unfamiliar with this collection, even though archive.org dates its debut online as being September 14, 2007. I was familiar with an alternate Time Magazine collection of Nachtwey's images from 9/11, which also consisted of 15 images, named "Time Exclusive SHATTERED a remarkable collection of photographs of photojournalist James Nachtwey," an online posting which archive.org dates to September 14, 2001.

While the two collections overlap to some degree, each contains six images not found in the other.

I was previously familiar with the above image itself from a weird vanity web page about Fireman Christian Waugh, who is the second figure from the left in the photo above. I had wrongly attributed the 13.74KB thumbnail found there as being a screen grab from a video televised by MSNBC that day. (See my Father Mychal Judge: Icon in a Can.) Rereading the Waugh web page, this would seem to be the intended inference, but since MSNBC's coverage from 9/11 cannot be found archived online, there was no way to verify the fact.

Regardless of the image's origin, its simple existence established one important fact---that in addition to the world-famous images taken by Reuters photographer Shannon Stapleton of Father Mychal Judge's lifeless body being carried away from the Trade Center, a second news source had also been present on the plaza or thereabouts and also captured the scene.

However, an attribution to the celebrated Nachtwey is an infinitely more serious matter, both in what it establishes in his timeline of movements that day, but also in how his media bosses at Time Magazine chose to play the compelling image---by including it in its printed edition, but neglecting to feature it in their online coverage in the immediate aftermath. Compared to the fame which accrued to Shannon Stapleton for his shots of Father Judge's portage, Nachtwey's powerful view is almost unknown to the general public.

Nachtwey had another ironic coincidence concerning a different iconic shot taken that day---by Thomas Franklin of The Bergen Record (in Passaic New Jersey.) This image, of three firemen raising an American flag amidst towering destruction, became even more famous than the shot of the Iwo Jima flag raising, which it evoked. Nachtwey also took a shot of this heroic moment on 9/11, but, sadly, he missed including the firemen in his view, so it only serves as a sort of second-rate validation for the Franklin image.

Although Nachtwey has been a contract photographer for Time Magazine since 1984, he is primarily a freelance agent whose work was handled by the Magnum Photo agency. Since obviously 9/11 wasn't a contracted assignment (being not only a surprise event, but an unimaginable one at that) why was Nachtwey's work limited to publication in Time Magazine? The Bergen Record resold its image around the globe.

The Digital Journalist web page for James Nachtwey posts 13 images, several of which show firemen searching the rubble of the North Tower while Building 7 is seen burning in the background. At least one image of Nachtwey's is marked with the Magnum Photos logo, which is a proof that some of his images went out under their license.

Nachtwey was one of the founding members of the VII Photo agency, which was formed when he left Magnum in September 2001.

These results appear to me to be examples of journalistic collusion rather than competition, and further evidence of a master controlling power, which dictated and oversaw distribution of the media coverage that day and thereafter. The system wasn't foolproof, as the historical record was amended by the inclusion of the fuller Nachtwey portfolio---but not until six years later, and I would imagine, coming under some duress. There are many other examples of such manipulation in the record of the record.

The Nachtwey image showing the body of Father Judge being carried out of the South Tower would likely be the third image he took on September 11th, as evidenced by the public record. His first image that day places him at a specific place, time and gestalt---in front of St Peter's Roman Catholic Church on Barclay Street east of Church Street.

His second image is little known, but it won him a second-place prize in the World Press Photo contest---maybe for its similar religious subtext.

This image provides some important information that helps us locate the Nachtwey image of Father Judge as having been taken somewhere on Vesey Street near the foot of the famous "Survivors Staircase." I will get back to this point more fully later.

A central incongruity of Nachtwey's movements on September 11th, have him placed a block away from the north-east corner of the trade center site as the first tower fell, and then moving toward the disaster as everyone else was fleeing away. I think someone was aware of this as a narrative problem, because in the Peter Howe essay at The Digital Journalist, Nachtwey addresses the matter directly---albeit very poorly:

The chaos hit street level when first one and then both buildings collapsed. People who had been drawn towards the scene now started fleeing in panic in a futile attempt to outrun the enveloping cloud of smoke and ash. It was at the point that the second tower fell that Nachtwey almost became a casualty himself. He tells the story in a calm, almost matter-of-fact tone of voice:

“Once the tower fell, the people really disappeared. They all ran away or were trapped. So my instinct was to go to the place where the tower had fallen. It seemed to me, absolutely unbelievable that the World Trade Center could be lying in the street and I felt very compelled to make an image of this. So I made my way there through the smoke. It was virtually deserted, and it seemed like a movie set from a science fiction film. Very apocalyptic. Very strange ambiance of the sunlight filtering through the dust and the destroyed wreckage of the buildings lying in the street. As I was photographing the destruction of the first tower, the second tower fell and I was standing right under it, literally right under it. Fortunately for me, and unfortunately for people on the west side it listed to the west. But I was still underneath this avalanche of falling debris, of structural steel, the aluminum siding of the building, glass; tons of material were falling directly down on to me. I realized that I had a few seconds to find cover or else I’d be killed.

"I dashed into the lobby of the Millennium Hotel, which was directly across the street from the North Tower, and I realized instantly that this hotel lobby was going to be taken out. The debris would come flying straight through the plate glass and just destroy it. There was no protection at all.

"There was no other place to turn, certainly no more time. It was about to happen any moment. I saw an open elevator and dashed inside. Put my back against the wall, thinking that it would afford some protection, which it did, and about a second later the lobby was taken out. I had seen someone standing outside, and there was a construction worker who dashed inside the elevator with me just as the debris swept through the lobby and it instantly became pitch black, as if you were in a closet with the light out and a blindfold on. You could not see anything. It was very difficult to breathe. My mouth, my nose, my eyes were filled with ashes. I had a hat on. I began to breathe through my hat. And together, this other man and I crawled, groping, trying to find our way out. I initially thought that the building had fallen on us and that we were in a pocket because it was so dark. And we just continued to crawl and I began to see blinking lights…. small blinking lights… and I realized that these were the directional lights of cars that have been destroyed and the directional signals were still on. And at that point I realized that we were in the street, although it was just as black in the street as it was in the hotel lobby, and that we would be able to find our way out. It took a couple of blocks to get clear of the smoke and we made our way out.”

The illogic in Nachtwey's statement is extreme. He acts as if the first tower's collapse was a minor event. He doesn't tell us how or where he survived the first ash and smoke cloud, nor does it seem sufficient to have prevented his solo jaunt toward danger. He says his "instinct was to go to the place where the tower had fallen," and, "[a]s I was photographing the destruction of the first tower, the second tower fell," but apparently Nachtwey never made it closer then the vantage point seen in these images on Vesey Street.

Speaking of the first tower's collapse, Nachtwey says, "It seemed to me, absolutely unbelievable that the World Trade Center could be lying in the street and I felt very compelled to make an image of this." However, he has no images in the public record that depict debris from the first tower's collapse, as seen before the second tower fell.

What is unbelievable is his failure to mention his shooting an image of the single corpse we were to see from that day!

The round cement planters, which are a feature in Nachtwey's image, were traffic control barriers erected along the parameter of the trade center site. We can spot them in images along Vesey Street, West Street, and Church Street. But since we know that Father Judge's body was left in the gutter on Vesey Street, we can safely assume the Nachtwey image was taken there. In all likelihood, Nachtwey never got anywhere near sight of the debris field of the South Tower.

Shannon Stapleton's images have no distinguishing background features. I had always assumed they were taken somewhere on the plaza, near the entrance to the North Tower. However, they too may have been taken down here at Vesey Street. The reason the record is ambiguous on this detail, is probably because the fact would indicate that Father Judge's body was weirdly carried up one staircase only to be carried down another one shortly thereafter.

This is a central vexing question that has remained unaddressed in 9/11 studies to date. Every single fireman who entered the North Tower on 9/11 did so through the entrance on West Street near the fire department command post as seen in the image below. Every single fireman who escaped the North Tower that day also exited through this location, except for the handful responsible for removing Father Judge's corpse. So what would possess this group to decide in the tumult of the first tower's collapse, with visibility near zero, to travel over 200 feet to the northern face of the North Tower with their heavy load...

...then to take a non-working escalator up a flight to the mezzanine level, to a place where they knew debris impacts were landing, as recorded in the Naudet Brother's film...

...in order to escape out this exit onto the dangerous plaza level...

...even though civilians were escaping DOWN the escalator, as seen in this John Labriola image...
...only to then sneak around to the side of the complex to this staircase and lower their load back down into the gutter on Vesey Street?

I'll tell you why: it was done to avoid witnesses.

The serendipitous recording of the ordeal by two top photojournalists also wasn't by accident. In the same way that when the lobby of the North Tower was evacuated, fire department officials forgot to carry out the Command Board, which recorded the floor assignments of their brothers, thereby losing this central documentation, also was no accident.

For further reading about these matters, refer to my previous posting about Mr. Nachtwey (I've corrected my spelling of his name! Let's go Google!)

Chief Joseph Pfeifer/Pfeiffer and Deputy Chief Peter Hayden

Does anyone else note the very strange presence of Chief Pfeiffer in both the Stapleton and Nachtwey images? This is in direct conflict with the narrative as established in the Naudet Brother's film, 9/11, which plainly indicates he fled across West Street on the elevated walkway.

Peter Hanson, C. Lee Hanson & Eunice Hanson

In an article in yesterday's New York Times, Debate Heats Up About Mosque Near Ground Zero, C. Lee Hanson, whose son, Peter was killed in the 9/11 attacks along with his wife and young daughter, was reported to have said at a recent public hearing. “Build it someplace else.”

These four words of the senior Mr. Hanson's cap his long career as a professional mouthpiece in the 9/11 narrative, too often found in the news. However, any scrutiny of the roles played by the family members of 9/11 victims, will reveal them to be parts of a fictional narrative overlaid onto what is in truth, a covert, false-flag attack by U.S. and other special interests on targets in New York City and Arlington, Virginia. Such attention may peak soon, as the tenth anniversary of the attacks approaches. Mr. Hanson's record shows him to be either the head of entire family of deep-cover spooks, a contrived family member of a digitally manufactured "vicsim," or else he's play acting the "father" role for some planted agent set up in a false identity as his son in order to count on a victim roster. For veracity's sake, such establishment and pre-positioning of mock identities may have been executed over a period that likely lasted several years or more.

I'm leaning more toward Peter Hanson turning out to be a form of vicsim, but proving the truth of these computer-generated personas has been extremely difficult to date. This is because of the immense power and control exerted by the conspiring corporate, media and government forces, which shape everything in our society, from our concepts of identity, to our perception of reality.

The logistics of the 9/11 plan they hatched are easy to fathom however. It is clear that during the planning stages any intention leading to the actual deaths of real Americans would be an off-putting moral dilemma for the average operative, the type who would make up the bulk of the conspiracy. Thus, only two choices were available with which to build a record of fatalities necessary to galvanize U.S. citizens into supporting the prospect of war---digitally fabricating entirely non-existent people as "vicsims," or in the type of mock death as spelled out in the early 1960's Joint Chiefs of Staff document, Operation Northwoods---what we can safely describe in shorthand as being a kind of "public disappearance."

The simplest method for constructing the narrative would have been for agents of the conspiracy to simply disappear into witness-protection type programs, leaving behind their honestly grieving but duped relatives. This may be the case with some of the New York Fire Department casualties, but again, it must have been accepted as too painful a reality for the participants to endure for it to be used in large numbers as a methodology. This means that many fire department family members would need to be brought into the scheme. Such degrees of internal emotional duplicity are hard to imagine, even within a hardened covert, or uniformed community, especially one that depends on loyalty and unity to maintain group secrets.

Rather than reducing the overall number of covert members necessary to undertake an operation of this magnitude, the use of vicsim identities required a larger fleet of operating agents to have been previously established in mock identities, thus providing the supporting roles of the survivors and storytellers. These sorts of agents require a much lower standard of training in order to pass muster, and they could certainly be drawn from lesser pools then the 850,000 American citizens with Top Secret clearances, as was recently reported in the Washington Post---although the Post series also stated that an aspect of security clearances included training in the assumption of false identities.

This means that if a category does exist consisting of a real family member of an actual person "lost" on 9/11, then they must explicitly be involved in the conspiracy, Carrying this logic one step further, means that all the narrative elements, from the media figures who carry the load, to the authority figures whose credibility backs up the storytelling, can be indicted at some level in the plot.

Although most media figures involved in the story understand it to be a fiction, some were obviously used as unwitting patsies, be they blindly honest, or willfully gullible.

At this stage, in determining a possible vicsim from a mock victim, it helps to arrange a chronology of media reports that involve them, to see how a storyline has developed over time. This has been tricky so far, because of the potential for fundamental manipulation in what passes for the "official" record.

Personal stories were often reported in smaller, community newspapers, (a step-down organization,) or story details could be offered up in a little-read foreign outlet, (a step-out approach,) with both methods allowing for the suppression, or reorganization of any errant, or inconvenient fact, which may seep into the collective consciousness. What this implies is the total ability to control public awareness through a unified system of media control. To gain a hearing, one can never compete against this system.

Recently though, I see evidence that this system is breaking down. A good example is the resurfacing in December, 2008 of suppressed articles from the New York Times, as well as an important column by Robert Novak. More recently, I've noticed a new depth and comprehensiveness in the way indexes that organize news archives from such outlets as The Staten Island Advance, the Hartford Courant, the Asbury Park Press and the Baltimore Sun come up in Google searches. If true, this could represent the unstoppable force of truth asserting itself in the internet age.

I found one such record in the Fairfield (Connecticut) Citizen after a search for stories about Peter Hanson, the supposed victim of Flight 175, and a preeminent element in the hijacking story, via his father, C. Lee Hanson, who has played a nonstop role since 8:52 am on September 11th, 2001 when he says he received the first of two phone calls from his son aboard the ill-fated flight.

Mr. Hanson became a conduit immediately after the attacks when his account went out the evening of September 11, via the Associated Press.

Several factors make the Hanson family story a powerful example of a synthetic narrative. It begins with the extreme rapidity in which it was reported---launched by the AP with facts vetted by the FBI, and then verified for good measure by a minister of God, (a little known name that bares studying, a Rev. Bonnie Bardot.) Stated are two central facts for the record---a stewardess was stabbed, and the "plane is going down." They are dressed up with the moving human-interest pathos of an entire young family's being extinguished suddenly, with their child serving a distinction of being the youngest victim that day. Their AP account bears reprinting in full

"Separately, a businessman, his wife and young child aboard a United flight that left Boston and crashed into the World Trade Center twice called his father in Connecticut as his plane was being hijacked, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

"The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the victim's father told the FBI his son made two calls, and both times the phone cut off. In the first call, the businessman said a stewardess had been stabbed. In the second call, the son said his plane was going down.

"The man was identified as former Easton, Conn., resident Peter Hanson. A minister confirmed the cell phone call to his father, Lee Hanson, an official in Easton, a small town near Bridgeport.

"'He called to his parents' home, and so in that way they were so together in that moment,' the Rev. Bonnie Bardot said."

Two additional callers from other flights are also mentioned in the AP article, and both are major storyline players too, Barbara Olsen and Mark Bingham, with his story stemming from a contact between his mother and a San Francisco television station, KTVU, while her story was issued straight out of the top of the Justice Department, like seafoam from the forehead of Zeus, early midday on the 11th.

But, for some reason, the AP article contains a narrative misstep, when it's reported that an unnamed flight attendant aboard United 175, who placed a phone call to the airline's maintenance center informing them of the hijacking, was female, rather than a male employee, as the 9/11 Commission Report was ultimately to determine. Even a month after the attack, in a serious examination of the flight control response inside the American and United commend centers, conducted by the august Wall Street Journal, it was being reported still that this unnamed flight attendant was female. Though the WSJ writers name 16 top corporate managers and executives in the two companies as the sources for the article, both the caller, and the mechanic in United's San Fransisco maintenance facility who received the call, remained unidentified.

This is an important detail, as a second unnamed United flight attendant aboard Flight 93 also called this facility and spoke to another, unnamed worker there. In both cases, it was by this backdoor mechanism that United Airlines became aware its planes had been hijacked.

But how could top-level sources within United Airlines mistake their own employee's gender in a matter of such supreme importance? What evidence caused the 9/11 Commission to establish a fact that created such an awkward inconsistency with the earlier news reports? Why did the Commission name the attendant as being Robert Fangman in a staff report, but neglect to put it in the final report?

When the 9/11 Commission Report was released in July 2004, Chapter One, "We Have Some Planes," established the official narrative for the hijacking of United Flight 175. The relevant section reads

Also at 8:52, a male flight attendant called a United office in San Francisco, reaching Marc Policastro. The flight attendant reported that the flight had been hijacked, both pilots had been killed, a flight attendant had been stabbed, and the hijackers were probably flying the plane.The call lasted about two minutes, after which Policastro and a colleague tried unsuccessfully to contact the flight.46

Note 46 reads

Flight crew on board UAL aircraft could contact the United office in San Francisco (SAMC) simply by dialing *349 on an airphone. See FBI report of investigation, interview of David Price, Jan. 24, 2002. At some point before 9:00, SAMC notified United’s headquarters of the emergency call from the flight attendant. See Marc Policastro interview (Nov. 21, 2003); FBI report of investigation, interview of Marc Policastro, Sept.11,2001; Rich Miles interview (Nov. 21, 2003).

The note tells us that Marc Policastro was interviewed by the FBI on the day of 9/11. This leaves no room for an erroneous gender identification to have been disseminated by an unnamed law enforcement official in the AP article that evening, or by United executives in the Wall Street Journal article over a month later. On the off chance that Policastro didn't catch the name or gender of the flight attendant calling, then why was there a discrepancy in establishing the identity? Lastly, why wasn't Policastro publicly identified before the issuance of the Report nearly three-and-a-half years after the event?

The naming of Robert Fangman as the identity of the caller derives from a casual reference in an undated, semi-official document, to which History Commons has ascribed the date of January 27, 2004, titled, "The Four Flights: Staff Statement No. 4," and it reads as if it had been an oral presentation delivered during a Commission hearing

"We first wish to pay tribute to the brave men and women who are the source for most of what we know about what transpired onboard American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, and United Airlines Flight 93. In just a few minutes, we will be hearing about one of those heroes, Flight Attendant Betty Ong who perished on Flight 11, from another individual, American Airlines Reservations Manager Nydia Gonzalez. She spoke with Ms. Ong on that tragic morning and made sure that her voice was heard then, and continues to be heard to this day. But there are many others who we wish to recognize, both passengers and crew, who were able to reach out to let their companies, friends, or families know what had befallen them, and in so doing enable us to tell their story here today.

Also from Flight 11, Betty Ong’s fellow Flight Attendant Madeline “Amy” Sweeney
· From Flight 175, Flight Attendant Robert Fangman, and passengers Peter Burton Hanson and Brian David Sweeney
· From Flight 77, Flight Attendant Rene May and passenger Barbara Olson
· From Flight 93, Flight Attendants Ceecee Lyles and Sandy Bradshaw, and passengers Todd Beamer and Jeremiah Glick.

The naming of Robert Fangman as a fact was further established five weeks later, on March 10, when CNN's notorious Phil Hirschkorn wrote an article about "calls [that] came to light in a January statement from the independent commission investigating the attacks." Hirschkorn constructs his piece around a supposed revelation---or should I say, re-evaluation---of two calls made by Brian David Sweeney, a 38-year-old former U.S. Navy pilot from Barnstable, Massachusetts. In 2004, his remarried widow Julie, is updating her former characterization of her late husband's phone calls as being more in the manner of a Todd Beamer or Jeremiah Glick "Let's Roll" call to arms, then the loving expressions, which had been in the established record. Weirdly, Julie is discussing calls Sweeney made to his mother, and not to herself personally.

Hirschkorn then slips in Fangman's name at the very end of the article, without acknowledging in any way that this was a new addition to the record.

Someone named Corky Siemaszko, writing in the New York Daily News, had beaten Hirschkorn to the Sweeney scoop the previous day, March 9. Together, they help in Brian Sweeney's transformation from a loving consultant into a new rebellious persona, someone who also fought back against the hijackers, "a Gulf War veteran," who "could literally kill somebody with a twist of the neck. We could see him trying to do something about it," the widow is quoted as imagining, while speaking for the mother. "She asked who they were and he said not specifically but said they were Middle Eastern," a detail she added in the second person, past tense.

In any event, according to the AP obit on September 18th, Fangman had only been working as a flight attendant since January 2001. He previously worked for Verizon Wireless. This is evidence of covert operations.

Julie Sweeney already had inserted her work product into the public record, as per a design---like in this Chicago Tribune profile from September 13, 2001

"He was calm and said, 'I'm on the plane, it's been hijacked and it doesn't look good. But I want you to know how much I love you and my family,'" said Julie, a physical education and health teacher, from their home in Barnstable, Mass. The two were married in 1999. "He said to live a long life and be happy. And he said he'd see me again soon. Then he said he had to go."

"Consultant Brian Sweeney, 38, was on his way from Boston to Los Angeles for business. When Sweeney realized the plane was hijacked, he made two phone calls: one to his parents, the other to his wife, Julie. She wasn't home, so he left his last words on the answering machine.

Julie Sweeney, remarried by early 2004, had only married Brian in 1999, and together they they were living in their new house in Barnstable for only a few months when 9/11 hit, (make that two months,) at which point she was also only into her fourth day teaching in a new school. These are the classic hallmarks of two vagabond, deep-cover-operative lives, rushed into place to play their upcoming false-flag roles.

Brian David Sweeney's wife, the beautiful and mysterious Julie Sweeney, doing her craft-project thing post-9/11.

After the 9/11 Commission Report sets into place a newly ordered history, the second-tier history efforts, such as the online History Commons, or the compendium established under the name Killtown, lapped up the sanitized, post-2004 version, while ignoring, or minimizing the implications of the slew of inconsistencies in the earlier reports.

The original AP article indicates that the United Airlines attendant perceived her geographic date with destiny with some precision

"And a flight attendant aboard the second jetliner that struck the World Trade Center managed to call an emergency number from the back of the airplane, an American Airlines source said. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the flight attendant reported her fellow attendants had been stabbed, the cabin had been taken over, and they were going down in New York."

Note the interesting error. The AP writer is confusing American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane to strike the first tower, with United Airlines Flight 175, which was the second airplane that struck the second tower. However, Flight 11 also had someone named Sweeney aboard---Flight Attendant Madeline “Amy” Sweeney, and she too performed the same role of first informing her company that a hijacking was underway by calling from a phone on the plane.

Could a professional journalist have made a mistake of this caliber? I think not. It is more likely to be evidence of the fluidity at that point when the narratives were still being assembled. Similar to the case where a Pentagon employee thought to have died in the building turned up to have died on one of the flights.

In the 9/11 Commission Report, the now certifiably male Flight 175 attendant, reports that both of the pilots were killed off early in the hijacking, a new "fact" never heard before the Report was issued.

Also at 8:52, a male flight attendant called a United office in San Francisco, reaching Marc Policastro. The flight attendant reported that the flight had been hijacked, both pilots had been killed, a flight attendant had been stabbed, and the hijackers were probably flying the plane. The call lasted about two minutes, after which Policastro and a colleague tried unsuccessfully to contact the flight.46

I should think the hijackers were "probably" flying the airplane, since dead pilots obviously couldn't. This is an example of the poorer efforts of the later rewritten narrative details, as compared to the original storyline.

Trying to keep my own narrative straight, I'll return to my topic of the Hanson family.

It is interesting to chart how two simple details in Peter Hanson's story were expanded into the standard set piece we now find attributed to him in the histories. Here is a comprehensive list of the early news articles that mention Hanson:

AP 9-11
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the victim's father told the FBI his son made two calls, and both times the phone cut off. In the first call, the businessman said a stewardess had been stabbed. In the second call, the son said his plane was going down.

BBC News 9-13
"A stewardess has been stabbed... the plane is going down," he said, before being cut off.

Boston Globe article 9-13
"Dad," Peter Hanson said in a hushed voice, "I think they're going to crash the plane."

Daily Telegraph 9-16
Hurriedly he told the elderly couple of the knifings and the hijacking. They could barely take it in...Hanson made his final call to his mother: [sic] "We are going down," she heard him say, his voice choking.

Toronto Sun 9-16
"Oh, my God!" he tells his father, Lee. "They just stabbed the airline hostess. I think the airline is being hijacked." The phone then goes dead. When he calls a second time, it is to say goodbye. Their plane is going down.

Boston Globe Editorial 9-16
"Something's wrong with the plane," he is reported to have said. [Sic. What report, where?] "Oh, my god! They just stabbed the airline hostess!" Then minutes before the plane hit the World Trade Center tower: "Don't worry about us. It's going to be quick."

Over three years later, this turns into

9/11 Commission Report 7- 22-2004,
At 8:52, in Easton, Connecticut, a man named Lee Hanson received a phone call from his son Peter, a passenger on United 175. His son told him: “I think they’ve taken over the cockpit—An attendant has been stabbed—and someone else up front may have been killed. The plane is making strange moves. Call United Airlines—Tell them it’s Flight 175, Boston to LA.” Lee Hanson then called the Easton Police Department and relayed what he had heard.45 [Note says: See FBI report of investigation, interview of Lee Hanson, Sept. 11, 2001]

At 9:00, Lee Hanson received a second call from his son Peter: It’s getting bad, Dad—A stewardess was stabbed—They seem to have knives and Mace—They said they have a bomb—It’s getting very bad on the plane—Passengers are throwing up and getting sick—The plane is making jerky movements—I don’t think the pilot is flying the plane—I think we are going down—I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building—Don’t worry, Dad—If it happens, it’ll be very fast—My God, my God.49 [Note says: See FBI report of investigation, interview of Lee Hanson, Sept. 11, 2001.]

Does this really sound like a man who was "a Gulf War veteran," who "could literally kill somebody with a twist of the neck?"

The over elaboration of the Commission Report writing, with its self-contradictory "I think we are going down—I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building," and its repetitive "Passengers are throwing up and getting sick," which perhaps represents an attempt at explaining away any meaning in the original short declarations, "we are going down," and "I think they're going to crash the plane." Since such contentions cannot be logically justified when spoken during level flight in "a hushed voice," they are beefed up to become even more absurdly dramatic, likewise expanding the original report of a attendant being stabbed, with a weird "someone else up front may have been killed."

The Boston Globe article from September 13, is a more personal and domestic story development, and it leads off with the quote "Dad," Peter Hanson said in a hushed voice, "I think they're going to crash the plane." It is sourced to unnamed friends and neighbors of the younger Hansons in Groton Connecticut, and identifying one neighbor by name, Karen Forbes. Quoted, is a Professor Hardy Kornfeld,

"who was Sue Hanson's thesis adviser at the BU School of Medicine, hired her in 1992 as a lab assistant. Her talent quickly became apparent. With his encouragement, she entered the doctoral program and began a series of challenging experiments creating mice that lacked the InterLeukin-16 gene. She studied the role that the gene may play in both asthma and AIDS.

"She basically did it all by herself - she was a terrific scientist," Kornfeld said, "and one of the nicest people." He said he expects BU to award her a doctorate posthumously, and he said he would attempt to finish her project and publish an article about it in a science journal, with Sue as the lead author."

How professor Kornfeld could determine BU would award a posthumous doctorate in micro-biology immunology to his protege, who had previously graduated from the university in 1992 with a degree from the Graduate College of Arts and Sciences, is a neat trick, coming only two days after her sudden death. Such an award should rightly be a collective---and considered---decision. The Globe article's author, Patrick Healy may be a legit reporter, but the professor is definitely not, (I'm still waiting for his science article that completed her work to appear.) This is evidence of the kind of corrupt institutional power wielded by the conspirators.

This institution's involvement was borne out at the May 2002 BU Commencement, when Sue Hanson did indeed receive her doctorate degree, with her in-laws prominently positioned on the dais and featured in news reports. This is an example of the pre-scripted lengths that constitute the conspiracy's parameters, a detail only given away by the unseemly mar of a professor's too-quick revelation.

Sue Hanson's New York Times "Portrait in Grief," from February 10, 2002, is in direct conflict with an August 7, 2004, Pasadena Star-News article about her past, that states "[t]he Groton, Mass., couple planned a trip to Disneyland and to visit Sue's 83-year-old grandmother, who raised her and her brothers after their parents died." That information was sourced to Sue Hanson's high-school friends from the Class of 1984, Andy Groeneveld, Beatrice Fong John and Annie Wyatt Moore, who are quoted in the article.

The Times profile however, has Sue being raised by her strict father after her mother died when she was 15

"For Sue Kim Hanson, 34, a native of Los Angeles, her husband's family was the antidote to a childhood spent longing for structure. She lived with her grandmother in Korea until she was 6. Her mother died when she was 15. Her bond with the Hansons was so strong that they accompanied her to California when she went to inform her father about her engagement. She worried that her father would protest because Peter Hanson was not Korean. But her family embraced the Hansons." NYT Portraits in Grief

Doesn't the groom traditionally ask the bride's father for her hand in marriage, and not sent his bride with his parents as proxy?

If you want proof C. Lee and Eunice Hanson are frauds, look no deeper than a letter, "A mother to her son: How could I forget your curiosity and energy?" that Eunice Hanson wrote at the one-year anniversary mark for dissemination by the Associated Press.

It is written in the same standard, melodramatic style as the rest of the interchangeable 9/11 exposition is, combining a saccharine emotional quality with a savage political polemic. Seemingly composed by a committee, it reads like a Madison Avenue sales job---but as one performed by a schizophrenic who is speaking to the dead. We feel like interlopers overhearing:

"I want them brought to justice, but my feelings are about you. How can I ever forget you? Why would I want to forget you? How could I forget your curiosity and energy?"

Never ask why. This letter is emblematic of the relentless push the Hansons make in selling their story over the years. They approach it like a profession, as indeed it was, with their job to rack up chits in the media marketplace. Nothing will sate their desire for remembrance or memorialization, or their craving for validation, verification, and vengeance.

Around September 2004, the Hanson's were involved with the "WTC Families for Proper Burial" movement, a 50,000-signature strong effort which supposedly meant to force officials to "sift out" or "resort" all the WTC debris buried at the Fresh Kills landfill, in order to "extract out" by some mechanism all the dust which was composed of human remains. This was just further unscientific clap-trap meant to boost and enhance the fact that the victims were real.

The nadir of the Hanson career surely came during the Zacarias Moussaoui trial in April, 2006. One of the horrible aspects of seeing the truth behind the fact that hidden powers could undertake such vast schemes as a false-flag attack to serve as a casus belli for wars against totally innocent sovereign nations, is the utter depravity, and complete corruption of a society, and the institutions that support it, which allowed for, and condoned such an activity. That the United States Justice Department knowingly tried a man in a capital case using evidence that it itself had fabricated, is breathtaking in my view, perhaps because, in my mind it is of a more manageable scale than the vast horror that is Iraq and Afghanistan wars. That Moussaoui was spared an execution, and exists instead in a condition of total deprivation from any human contact whatsoever, is even more horrifying to me still.

The names of the supposed family members of 9/11 victims who testified at the trial, reads like a list of "the worst of the worst," to recycle a phrase. Ronald Clifford, Rudy Giuliani, Tony Sanseviro, Harry Waizer, Carol Azzarello, Wen Shi Wang, Mary Ellen Salamone, John Creamer, Andrea Maffeo, Rosemary Dillard, Tu Ho Nguyen, James Smith, Chandrasekar Salashidr, (or should that be Chandra Kalahasti, as this person is alternately reported to be?) Mike Low, Tamar Rosbrook, Lashawn Clark, Lisa Beilke and, heading it all up, Lee Hanson, perhaps the most featured media star among the relatives to testify.

Apparently, the Hanson's intended to continue their assault on justice. In September of 2009, Mrs Hanson was quoted as saying she and her husband intended to attend the upcoming scheduled trials in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,

"Hanson said attending the trial of an alleged 9/11 perpetrator later this month at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will "give my husband and I the opportunity to see first hand what is going on."

A personal family web site, petehansonandfamily.com
Christine Lee at two and a half was the youngest victim on 9/11. The family was on UA 175. Sue was awarded her PhD in Pathology after her death, and Boston University has established and annual lecture to be held on September 11 in honor of Sue Kim Hanson. Peter's parents, Eunice and Lee Hanson, live in Easton,



"At 9 a.m., Lee Hanson in Miami received a call from his son, Peter Hanson, who was a passenger aboard Flight 175, the 9/11 report reads. "I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building," the report states Peter Hanson said. "Don't worry, dad. If it happens, it'll be very fast. My God, my God." Lee Hanson then heard a woman scream before the call ended abruptly, the report reads. When the father then turned on his TV, he watched the aircraft hit the tower at about 590 mph. Sixty-five people were aboard."

(8:52 a.m.) September 11, 2001: Flight 175 Passenger Details Stabbing
Peter Hanson. Peter Hanson. [Source: Family photo]Businessman Peter Hanson calls his father from Flight 175 and says, “Oh, my God! They just stabbed the airline hostess. I think the airline is being hijacked.” Despite being cut off twice, he manages to report how men armed with knives are stabbing flight attendants, apparently in an attempt to force crewmembers to unlock the doors to the cockpit. He calls again a couple of minutes before the plane crashes. [BBC, 9/13/2001; Daily Telegraph, 9/16/2001; Toronto Sun, 9/16/2001] Hanson’s father immediately calls the local police department and relays what he heard. [San Francisco Chronicle, 7/23/2004]

We've been hijacked, and it doesn't look too good.’”13

Hanson noted that he and his wife grew up a short walk from the Public Garden. September 11, 2003, Boston Globe Online, "Ceremonies, dedications honor Mass. Sept. 11 victims," http://www.petehansonandfamily.com/honor_mass.html

"When Peter signed off, his parents, Eunice and Lee Hanson, turned on the television, and they watched as the plane their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter were on slammed into the south tower of the World Trade Center."

With regards to this call, Griffin also cites a letter written by Hanson’s sister: “Peter, Sue and Christine were on the United flight (175) that struck the south tower. Peter called daddy twice from this cell phone. He said, don’t worry Dad, it will be over fast.”
