Our own U.S. Army devised a plan commissioned by Congress to bring down the WTC using commercial airliners and box cutters as weapons.

The laundry list of terrorist warnings handed to the Bush administration prior to 9/11 makes the President and others look like "bumbling idiots or a bunch of conniving criminals" responsible for the mass murders at the Twin Towers and in Afghanistan and Iraq.

These are the harsh words of Timothy McNiven, an outspoken critic of the President's handling of 9/11 and a 29-year U.S. Defense Department operative still under contract with the government.

He says not only did the Bush administration purposely ignore Al Q'aida in the months preceding the WTC attacks, but the situation is even more disturbing, considering his military unit way back in 1976 devised a mock terrorist attack of the Twin Towers exactly like what occurred on 9/11.

McNiven, who first went public in an affidavit included in a 9/11-related federal conspiracy (RICO) lawsuit filed against Bush and others in 2004, claims his unit was ordered to create the "perfect terrorist plan" using commercial airliners as weapons and the Twin Towers as their target.

The publicized version of the study, commissioned by Congress, was to identify security lapses and submit corrective measures to lawmakers. However, McNiven claims the real purpose of the study was to brainstorm how to pull off the perfect terrorist attack using the exact same 9/11 scenario.

The study, commissioned to C-Battery 2/81st Field Artillery, U.S. Army, stationed in Strassburg, Germany in 1976, specifically devised the scenario of the Twin Towers being leveled by Middle Eastern terrorists using commercial airliners and even plastic box cutters to bypass security.

To silence critics, McNiven has successfully passed a credible lie detector test regarding his participation in the study as well as other specific orders given to him by his superiors in case of a real attack on the Twin Towers.

The head of the 1976 mock terrorist plan was Lt. Michael Teague of Long Island, who McNiven says was given specific orders by higher-ups in the military to use the Twin Towers as the terrorist target.

McNiven said he has been unable to contact Lt. Teague, but was interested in his opinion now that "the 9/11 attacks happened the way we planned them in 1976."

"I remember Lt. Teague changed the scenario of the supposed study from a 100 story building to the Twin Towers," recalled McNiven, emphasizing that Lt. Teague was acting on specific orders from unknown superiors.

"He then said he thought it was very strange to be asked to devise a plan to blow up your own home town. But as I watched the Twin Towers really collapse on the morning of September 11th, I realized I was watching the very same thing we devised in the 1976."

Since that ominous realization, McNiven has devoted his entire life to alerting the American public about the similarities between 9/11 and the 1976 study without much success, his story basically being ignored by politicians and the mainstream media.

"Why am I doing this? Why have I spent every waking hour trying to bring this story to the American people?" asked McNiven, claiming he still is following a strange direct military order given to him more than 25 years ago.

"During the course of the terrorist plan we were devising, I made the statement to Lt. Teague that if the WTC was ever attacked like we planned, I'd go public. I was then physically assaulted and told never to reveal anything we were doing regarding the Twin Towers."

However, about a week later a strange turn of events occurred. For no apparent reason, McNiven claims his superiors completely changed their minds.

"I was given the direct order that if the Twin Towers were ever attacked the way we discussed in the 1976 study, I was to do everything in my power to bring the similarities to the attention of the American people.

"I have no idea why they changed their minds, but I was then emphatically told that this order was never to be rescinded - never - because those who would rescind it, would be the very same people who turned against the American people."

Besides taking a lie detector to verify his story, McNiven has made public a detailed list of about 40 names of those individuals who took part in the mock terrorist plan, including Col. Robert Morrison, Maj. Joe Dipiero, Sgt. Middleton, Sgt. Arroyo and many others.

"There were also people from the Defense Department and the CIA who were monitoring the study, but I wasn't able to get their names," he added.

Some of McNiven's most recent assignments with the Defense Department include work on the Northwest Drug Task Force and various other drug smuggling and weapons trafficking cases.

 

well, this very well might be a smoking gun, but I had no doubt of NOT U.S. complicity, but that the U.S. government (some within, that is) were completely and solely guilty of planning, blueprinting, and acting out the Reichstag-like attack on our own soil. He was physically assaulted when he threatened to shed light on the truth? Well, there you go. Factions within the United States Empire are guilty. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind about this. There were no 19 hijackers. They never existed at all. Box cutters!!! LOLOL

Treason is a laughable understatement.

Of course Arab terrorists with box cutters were not the perpetrators of 9/11. You'd have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe that. Basically, what Mr. McNiven is saying is that this whole story (lie) about the terrorists with box cutters was concocted 29 years ago, and was taken from a drill that simulated hijacked commercial planes flying into the towers in an attempt to level the buildings.

 

I mean, that's something that even I would tend to doubt (I don't because I wouldn't put anything past global tyrants) but it just seems so outlandish that this plan was in the works since Ford was the presiding officer of this country. What was the reason for this? Doesn't it seem a little strange that these attacks happened not even 2 years after the anti-capitalist movement entered Center Stage?

I have a sneaky feeling that this plan to bring down the towers was only a TENTATIVE plan, for example: "should another '1960s' ever occur, we will use this plan to stifle it and as a catalyst to 'finish' the New World Order". Or something along that line. It just seems too coincedental that the attacks happened after, not before, Seattle. I thought this same exact thing on 9-11-01, and that's the truth. I think the "anti-globalization" movement and 9-11 are intricately linked...and for those who would twist that statement around, don't even think about it. To be "linked" is not the same as being involved.

 

Pressed Rat, I hope you don't mind my new signature. Let me know.

 

It's funny, because I had a feeling that somebody would quote that and use it as their sig.

I don't think the anti-capitalist movement had anything to do with it. I think the US has been practicing similar drills for many years (and I believe they still do to this date), to possibly put into action whenever they see fit.

Just because the cover story for this drill was used as the excuse for 9/11, doesn't necessarily mean 9/11 was being planned back then. It was simply a practice drill for if they ever decided to use such an event as a pretext for war.

It reminds me a lot of Project Northwoods, which are declassified documents from 1963 that talk of either a drill or an actual attack that would entail the shootdown of planes, coupled with missile attacks on several American cites to be then blamed on the Cubans as a pretext to go to war.

This is a lot like that, except these plans actually saw the light of day. (Or so it seems at this point, though it's still too early to tell.)

 

$1000 says that this goes nowhere. Not only will the mainstream media ignore this - the majority of Americans are either so brain-dead or so apathetic, they either won't believe it or won't care. I tell people about Northwoods all the time - pointing out that it's actually documented by the government itself as fact - and they STILL won't believe it. Crazy.

 

You are probably right, LW... sad but true.

 

You have to be braindead to accept such a low standard of evidence. This is based off the testimony of ONE WITNESS! Furthermore, he is trying to remember an event that allegedly took place almost THIRTY YEARS AGO!

The things that pass for evidence with you people are shocking. Try employing a little skepticism for a change.

I have nothing else to say about this topic and won't be returning to this thread.

 

I can flat out say I knew nothing about the Northwoods thing until just now. It's really not talked about in schools or whatnot. You have to actually want to look it up yourself, and then you have to have at least heard something about it.

 

I employed plenty of skepticism when NORAD stood down on 9/11.

I employed plenty of skepticism when I asked myself if a handful of terrorists with limited flying abilities really had the ability to not only crash -- with precision -- into three out of four of their intended targets (without being shot down), but also the ability to fly hundreds of miles by sight alone in order to reach their targets.

I employed plenty of skepticism when firefighters reported bombs going off in the buildings prior to their collapse, only to find out that WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein later admitted (on film, and likely by mistake) that WTC-7 was "pulled" just 7 hours after the collapse of the towers.

I employed plenty of skepticism when I heard Donald Rumsfeld twice slip and say that Flight 93 was shot down.

I employed plenty of skepticism when I found out that Cheney was put in control of the wargame exercises that were taking place on the morning of September 11th, which aided in further confusing the already grossly delayed fighter response.

I could go on for pages.

Do you really think a high-ranking government official is going to risk his job (and his life) to come forth about something he isn't 100% certain of. Maybe it's you who should try to employ some skepticism. You could really use it.

 

If this wasn't from rense.com, I might actually care.....

This is interesting, I hope the word gets out, I'll be sure to pass it along.

 

I am astonished at the level gullibility which would be required to call this a smoking gun - clearly nobody here has made even the least amount of effort to look into this guys own website. It is patently obvious that he is a raving lunatic.

Question one - do you know why lie detector tests cannot be used to prove guilt or innocense in a court of law?

2 - Do you wonder how many lie detector tests the guy took to get the correct result (funny he had to go up to Canada, isn't it? Did he run out of Polygraphers in Bellingham?)

3 - Col. Robert Morrison, Maj. Joe Dipiero, Lt. Michael Teague, Sgt Maj. McKay, Sgt Middleton, Sgt Arroyo, Sgt Murray, Sgt Edwards, Sgt Broder, Sgt Steadman, Sgt Wolford, Sgt Jackson, Sgt Riggs, Sgt Garza, Sgt Meralas, Sgt Taraza, Sgt Spears, 1st Sgt Ray, Sgt Terry Henderson, Sgt Barber, Cpl Picket, Cpl Wisner, Richard Seanz, Berni Domoski, George Cinch, Harry Waldren, Tom Kimber, Rick Lyons, Michael Hubbert, Dan Henderson, Martian Seals, Jake Asuit, Bruce Levine, Thomas Gumbs, Rick Bruns, Dennis Montoya, Phlash Richardson, Fetch, Bob Bender, Johnson, Drew Cousins, Terry Cook, Dana and Karen Thomas, Don and Judy Anderson, Mike and Doug Swanson, Pete Summerness, Jay Johovich, Jeff Eddy, Bert Eddy, Brian Eddy, Gene Humphries, Candy Parker, Jay Hayes, David Haravel, Suzi Ray-McNiven, Charles A. Plunkett, Janice Hatton, Richard Guthrie, Frankie Guthrie, Buddy Clinger, David Hunter, Rick Bear, Dennis Vilhauer, David Parker, Carl Colletti, Sandy Colletti, Tommie Colletti, Rick Hanson and Laura Colleti - Hanson, Van Hanson, Bobbi Web, Ray Jarmillo, and Toby Jarmillo were all part of the study or were told of it. NONE of these people have been produced to support his story, and he apparently can't even find ANY of them.

4 - Under the "supporters" section of his website, he includes impressive documents such as a letter from Canada's Deparment of Defence stating "Thank you for your letter... unfortunately we are unable to assist you." How the fuck does a blow-off form letter qualify as support? Helpfully, he also included a scan of the envelope so there would be no denying the DoD sent him a blow-off form letter. Further reading includes a letter from a Canadian Member of Parlaiment which mostly discusses Iraq and merely wishes him luck getting his story told. Next we have a blow off email from the BAS, and two emails from Michael "Free Slobodan Milosovic" Chussodovsky saying that he would be interested in seeing the documents.

Does anyone wonder about the sanity and desperation of someone that stuffs their "supporters" section with rejection letters?

5 - The "Politicians" section: Cover sheets from faxes TO various unfortunate politicians. Blow off email replies from functionaries. An enveolope to a letter, not included, from convicted fraudster James Traficant who of course currently resides in a correctional institution. No explanation is provided.

6 - The "Harrassment emails" section - evidence is provided that he received an email with a virus in 2002. Not much else.

7 - The "Media" section - A message from "feedback@ vitamins.com" with the subject line "congratulations". Nothing else is included.

8. What kind of moron prints out emails and then scans them back into his computer? Does he think this makes them documents?

I have decided to normally ignore Rat's cut and past conspiracies, but this one was just to idiotic to resist.

 

So Rat what should Americans do about it?

Is there any political parties, groups or movements you think they should support?

 

There you go again. You can't defend the idiotic claims made in this article, so you change the subject by attacking the mainstream media or by attacking me. If this is the "smoking gun," you'd better be able to defend it.

The fact is that you know perfectly well that this is just a lone individual making these claims, and wouldn't even be sufficient evidence in court of a petty assault, let alone a massive government conspiracy.

 

I didn't, I admit, ....no time. I too think it sounds a bit sketchy now.

 

Kandahar...PLEASE disappear off these forums. You are the one proverbial "bad apple" and i wish you'd go away.

 

I never claimed it to be 100% true, if true at all. This was alluded to already. But I don't think American Free Press -- which is a highly respected independent publication -- would write a story if there was no credibility backing it.

I too found parts of the website to be rather sketchy, but I still think it's too early to draw a conclusion, at least in my opinion. Think what you will.

I did listen to the guy's testimony in the radio interview, and his story, to me, did seem rather inconsistent. So I really don't know what to think.

I really cannot see why a high-ranking member of the US military would come forth with something like this if it was all a lie, unless of course he is deranged or a government plant.

I am going to see what develops of this -- if anything at all -- before I draw a conclusion.

And to PB - Fuck off!

 

so what kind of name is pressed rat anyway?

 

I thought you said you wouldn't be back
