John Ashcroft, December 2001: "Everyone can draw their own conclusions"

GZ presents now an alternative chronology (beta version 1) of the story of "911".
It includes also various new infos. When sources are left out, they can be find at GZ.
It should prove that the War against the Taliban was planned since years.
It proves, that the Anthrax was produced in the United States and obviously sent with prior knowledge of 911 to increase a budget for anthrax vaccine research and to boycott the Bio Weapon Convention.

It should show, that the attack was supported to rearrange the role and order of the NATO,
the Pentagon and the middle east.
It shows, that the budget for future weapons including new small nukes
started already in Mid 2001.
It shows the possibility, that all 19(+x) hijackers and Bin Laden had been used as puppets to achieve this target.
It doesn't include evidence for other theories (Bombs in Twin Towers) or Global Hawk (unmanned, but operated) -Technology on board.

But it should show, that the main media was manipulated or they self-censored themselves to exclude any other theory.
It also proves that the main US Media ignores special important details since 911 and try to harass every criticism.
They did that maybe on purpose, but even without having any prior knowledge.

The chronology should point on the possibility, that Bin Laden wasn't the main Mastermind behind 911, though it has to be proved if he is still on the payroll of the crew, who did it.

It also includes evidence for prior knowledge or warnings of 911 in the United States and reports about Sabotage to avoid it including the last minutes before 911.

These details, together with current investigations should open a discussion of an independent commission on mistakes of the FBI, the CIA, the ISI, the CDC, the Pentagon and the White House, like the Warren Commission did with JFK.
It is not a criticism of these institutions generally, but of unknown parts of it.
The Commission should also analyse a possible prior knowledge at some moles or corrupt elements within these institutions.

This chronology proves prior knowledge of various secret intelligence forces,
from the MOSSAD over the MI5 to the CIA!
However it concentrates on the Role "of some bad guys" in the United States, who obviously downplay "mistakes", try to change civil liberties, get the Internet back under control, renew the immigrant question, abuse the American constitution and freedom of speech for their own purpose instead of improving pragmatic safety measures.

Sarcasm shows that the whole plan was obviously produced to make american people more sensitive of the danger of new bio-nuclear weapons in the Middle East.

GZ insist on the fact that they don't support Terrorism, Racism, Anti-Americanism or
radical muslim movements.
It also doesn't support anti-semitic hatrism.

The "alternative chronology" is only the result of investigative research.
It is also for sure, that Al-Quaeda has ABCRN-weapon knowledge and Bin Laden has to be find, arrested and be charged with death penalty for various crime including praising the attack from 911.

This chronology includes also "forgotten past" of the history to show,
that there are indeed no scruples by governments to kill innocent people.
Therefore its starts in the 60s and later concentrates on the years between 1997 and 2001 with a special coverage on the last hours before 911 and from September 9th itself.

It should prove, that the attack was planned under enourmous pressure, especially in 2001.
But every secret service found out a bit, however the CIA and NSA knew officially "nothing".

It looks now like there was a big possibility, that the plan (part of a big masterplan?) would be revealed, especially in the last minutes. But the "crew around 911" had "luck".

Their plan almost worked, but got a bit out of control. It was a run against the time to avoid a catastrophe, but maybe some powerful members pushed it to continue- too much over the edge.

Therefore it's also possible that the plane from Pennsylvannia was shot down,
instead of fulfilling its original mission.

It also looks now, that almost noone of the hijackers knew, that they would die.

The other members "of the crew around 911" hoped maybe, that the Taliban would deliver Bin Laden before September 9th and that negotiations about new business deals would be reestablished again.

Bin Laden on the other hand, had maybe knowledge as well and played his game.

This chronology is contributed to all victims of the attacks from the Twin Towers, Pennsylvannia and the Pentagon, the firefighters, policemen, anthrax victims,
postal workers and soldiers, who died for nothing.

The Parts continue to be pasted....

Happy new year. :)

The CIA works on the project "OPERATION NORTHWOODS".
Secret Documents describe the "justification for US Military intervention in Cuba".
http://www.copvcia.com/stories/nov_2001/northwoods.pdf

A paper which should not be forwarded to NATO officers,
Chairman US Delegation-United Nations Military Staff Commitee etc...

It includes "a series of well cordinated incidents":

(1) start rumours (many) Use clandestine radio.
(2) Land friendly cubans in uniform "over the fence" to stage attack on the base
(3) Capture Cubans (friendly) saboteurs inside the base
(4) Start riots near the base main gate (friendly cubans)
(5) Blow up ammuniation inside the base, start fires
(6) Burn aircraft on air base (sabotage)
..
(10) Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires --naphtalene
(11) Sink Ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals for mock victims

a) We could blow up a US ship in Guantamo Bay and blame Cuba
b) We could blow up a drone (unmanned) vessel anywhere the Cuban Waters.
..

4. We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area,
in other Florida cities and even in Washington
..

7. Hijacking attempts against civil air craft should appear to continue as harrassing
measures condoned by the government of Cuba.

8. It is possible to create an incide..shot down a chartered civil airliner enroute from
the United States to Jamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela...
The passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday..

b) On such flight, a pre-briefed pilot ..under an alias, would resume his proper
identity and return to his normal place of business.
The pilot and aircraft would then have disappeared.

India was supplying the Northern Alliance with military equipment, advisers and helicopter technicians, the magazine said, and both India and Russia were using bases in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan for their operations.
The magazine added: "Several recent meetings between the newly instituted Indo-US and Indo-Russian joint working groups on terrorism led to this effort to tactically and logistically counter the Taliban.

What was interesting, was that while the Minister went to great detail about which companies were providing equipment, and where it was being installed, no mention was made of a GSM network. The USA [New Jersey] based Telephone Systems International (TSI) had signed a GSM supply contract with the government, although this has been delayed due to American sanctions, and cellular-news was informed in January that service may be available in Kabul from June this year. The Minister did say that handheld satellite phones would be provided shortly however."

Former Ambassador Henry Kissinger talked about his new book on C-Span,
"Does America Need a Foreign Policy?:Toward a New Diplomacy for the 21st Century".
The book outlines what America's future foreign policy should be and evaluates the United States' role in the Balkans, Europe, China and the Middle East.
Kissinger suggests that in the future NATO ``will no longer prove adequate as the sole institutional framework for Atlantic cooperation.'' He envisions a new structure in Atlantic relations that goes beyond the European Union and NATO that could one day include such countries like Canada and Mexico. According to Kissinger, a ``Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Area (TAFTA) is a structure that would serve such a purpose.''
The NY Times wrote, "Kissinger, à la Machiavelli, writes at the end of this book that great statesmen are distinguished less by their detailed knowledge than by ''their instinctive grasp of historical currents, by an ability to discern amidst the myriad of impressions that impinge on consciousness those most likely to shape the future.'"

According to a 10-19-2001 Wall Street Journal report, an unnamed investor purchased 2,000 United Airlines (UAL) put option contracts through Deutsche Bank-Alex Brown on September 6 -- betting the stock would shortly plummet. And USA Today reported that an individual purchased 810 UAL puts on August 6.

A Baron's source claimed on 10-8-2001 that the pre-attack UAL order placed through Deutsche Bank was for 2,500 contracts which were "split into 500 chunks each, directing each order to different U.S. exchanges around the country simultaneously."

According to San Francisco Chronicle reporters Christian Berthelsen and Scott Winokur a source familiar with the UAL trades said investors have yet to claim $2.5 million in profits on contracts purchased before United airliners crashed into a New York Trade Tower and a deserted Pennsylvania field on September 11.

The Chronicle source also identified Deutschebank-Alex Brown as the investment firm used to purchase some of the UAL options; and Rohini Pragasam, a bank spokeswoman, declined to comment on the transaction.
The German news weekly Der Spiegel revealed that Deutschebank also handled accounts worth about $100 million for Osama bin Laden's family

=======================================================
Habib Zacarias Moussaoui, the so called "20th hijacker" is arrested in Minnesota.
Police wondered, why this pilot only wished to fly horizontal flights instead of landing and starting. French Secret Service warns the CIA, he could be connected to a hijacker attack.

The FBI and the main US media ignores this story until December 2001. In the same period Moussaoui is big media topic in Europe and the French Government wants to have him delivered. Diplomatic Negotiations started.

Moussaoui left a telephone number in his notebook by Ramzi Omar (alias Binalshibh).
He shared an appartment with Mohammad Atta together in the same house in Hamburg, Marienstrasse 54.

Officially the FBI agents in Minneapolis, MN later arrested Zacarias Moussaoui, an Algerian with French citizenship, on immigration charges only. He was arrested after a tip from a local flight school that reported that the suspect wanted to be trained in flying a large jet aircraft, but said that he did not want to take the time to learn how to take off or land. The FBI knew he was a terrorist on French watch lists, but refused to pursue the case or issue search warrants on orders from higher authority.

"Do you realize how serious this is?" the instructor asked an FBI agent. "This man wants training on a 747. A 747 fully loaded with fuel could be used as a weapon!"

Between Aug. 1 and Aug. 3, it says, he received a $14,000 wire transfer from the same figure in Germany alleged to have sent money to the hijackers. Arriving at the Eagan school on Aug. 10, Moussaoui gave a school official $6,300 in cash.

French intelligence sources confirm that the man is a key member of bin Laden's network and the FBI learns that he has been taking flying lessons.
At the time of his arrest the man is in possession of technical information on Boeing aircraft and flight manuals. The FBI ignores this warning and knowledge
(or maybe got orders from someone else to ignore it).

Ahmed Alghamdi, who was on the United Airlines plane that hit the World Trade Center, had also purchased tickets for a flight the next day from Dulles Airport in Washington D.C. to Saudi Arabia.
