Surprising number of passengers on Flight AA77 that allegedly hit the Pentagon had military connections

Posted by seumasach on February 10, 2010

Additional remarks by Thierry Meyssan

When I was in Tehran in September 2002, I had the opportunity to discuss in depth the events of September 11 with Hussein Shariatmadari, Director of the Kheyan press agency and spokesperson for the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution. It was my first encounter with someone who had such a detailed knowledge of the events. We continued our discussion until late in the day.
On this occasion, he shared with me the investigative findings of his associates. They had pursued the same hypothesis as the one advanced by Pino Cabras, but with far greater means at their disposal. They had constituted biographical profiles for each of the passengers on all four planes.
Their findings showed that 75% of the passengers had connections with the Pentagon, not only on flight AA77 but also on all the other flights.

Many are the inconsistencies concerning Flight AA77 which allegedly struck the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. on September 11, 2001.

We will not enumerate them here; other articles on this site already provide a detailed list of them. But new elements have recently emerged, resulting from investigations carried out by independent journalists. We reproduce below an extract from Strategie per una guerra mondiale, a book by Pino Cabras. It brings to light the inordinate proportion of passengers on board Flight 77 who had ties with the military sector and who were officially reported dead on September 11, 2001 at the Pentagon.

The Voltaire Network article dealing with the cockpit door of Flight 77 [1] – which revealed disturbing details, little if at all examined by the official investigations, but which call for a closer look even by non-official investigations – had already drawn our attention to a certain number of the anomalies linked to that terrible day. The baffling profile of Charles F. Burlingame is but one anomaly. On board Flight 77 there was a high density of passengers who worked at classified positions in the Defense sector: between 16 and 21 persons out of a total of 58 passengers.

The conviction of the Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui in New York last week of trying to kill American military officers and FBI agents illustrates that the greatest danger to our security comes not from al-Qaida but the thousands of shadowy mercenaries, kidnappers, killers and torturers our government employs around the globe.

Lord Rifkin advocates for a new «Entente cordiale» with France

3rd February, 2010

Through a column in The Times, Sir Malcolm Rifkin has called for a new “entente cordiale” with France within the NATO structure.[1]

As former British Minister of Defence and of Foreign Affairs, he considers that only a Franco-British military pact would make it possible to harmonize expensive military equipment. This would result in significant savings that would enable the United Kingdom to continue to rank as a great power.

The real story behind the grotesque US takeover of Haiti

The theft of Haiti has been swift and crude. On January 22, the United States secured “formal approval” from the United Nations to take over all air and sea ports in Haiti and to “secure” roads.

The Fateful Geological Prize Called Haiti

President becomes UN Special Envoy to earthquake-stricken Haiti.

A born-again neo-conservative US business wheeler-dealer preacher claims Haitians are condemned for making a literal ‘pact with the Devil.’

Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, Bolivian, French and Swiss rescue organizations accuse the US military of refusing landing rights to planes bearing necessary medicines and urgently needed potable water to the millions of Haitians stricken, injured and homeless.

Behind the smoke, rubble and unending drama of human tragedy in the hapless Caribbean country, a drama is in full play for control of what geophysicists believe may be one of the world’s richest zones for hydrocarbons-oil and gas outside the Middle East, possibly orders of magnitude greater than that of nearby Venezuela.

Beyond the praise for Paul Kagame

Rwandan Tutsi leader turned President Paul Kagame is a popular man in the West. And why not? In his ten years in office he has lead his war-ravaged nation through a period of unprecedented economic growth which has turned Rwanda into a playground for foreign investors. At the same time, he emphasizes self-reliance and efficient government while supporting populist spending programs that could make Rwanda the only African nation to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals (not that he is a fan of the UN, which he frequently criticizes for its response to the 1994 civil war). His administration in Kigali has admittedly wracked up a deficit that would ordinarily draw frowns from World Bank bureaucrats but in the case of Rwanda, the organization that usually demands drastic budget cuts is underwriting a litany of government programs. It helps that some of Kagame’s greatest admirers are Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, and Starbucks magnate Howard Schultz (1). American evangelist Rick Warren (2) considers him something of an inspiration and even Bill Gates has invested in what has been called Africa’s success story. Yes, Western liberals, reactionary evangelicals, and capitalist carpetbaggers alike tout Paul Kagame as the herald of a new, self-reliant African prosperity.
