Dov Zakheim and the 9/11 Conspiracy
By ‘Shadow’ and ‘Pax’ – Conspiracynewsnet
In a document called "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century" published by The American Enterprise's "Project for a New American Century"(1), System Planning Corporation (SPC) International executive, Dov Zakheim, called for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor" being necessary to foster the frame of mind needed for the American public to support a war in the Middle East that would politically and culturally reshape the region. A respected and established voice in the intelligence community, his views were eagerly accepted, and Dov went from his position at Systems Planning Corporation to become the Comptroller of the Pentagon in May 2001. (2) Perhaps not so coincidentally, it was an SPC subsidiary, TRIDATA CORPORATION, that oversaw the investigation after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.
SPC, according to their official website, specializes in many areas of defense technology production and manufacture, including a system developed by their Radar Physics Group called the Flight Termination System, or FTS.(3) This is a system used to destroy target drones (craft that would be fired on by test aircraft or weaponry) in the event of malfunction or "misses". This highly sophisticated war-game technology allows the control of several 'drones' from a remote location, on varying frequencies, and has a range of several hundred miles. This technology can be used on many different types of aircraft, including large passenger jets.
According to the SPC website (4), a recent customer at that time was Eglin AFB, located in Florida. Eglin is very near another Air Force base in Florida-MacDill AFB, where Dov Zakheim contracted to send at least 32 Boeing 767 aircraft, as part of the Boeing /Pentagon tanker lease agreement.(5)
NORAD Determination of Intent
"Since an enemy can choose the time and place of an attack, NORAD must know the identity of the aircraft over or approaching the continent at all times. Whenever aircraft appear on the radar screen of any of the detecting devices, they must be identified rapidly and accurately.
Air Defense Identification Zones are located around the coasts and borders of the northern extremities of the NORAD area of responsibility. All air traffic penetrating or operating within these zones are subject to very strict rules.
Flight plan agreement is the principle method of identification. The actual radar track of an air-borne object is compared with information obtained in advance from in-flight position reports. The track may be identified as "friendly" if the information on the flight and the track agrees with the prearranged flight plans. If this flight plan information and track do not match, or if there is any doubt, the flight is listed as "unknown" and jet airplanes will be scrambled to identify the "unknown" by sight, if they cannot first be identified by means of communication.
There are more than 200,000 aircraft flights taking place within NORAD air space in any given 24 hour period, so it is a rare day when none of these appear on the big screen at COC as "unknowns." Over just the past few years, however, the average number of "unknowns" in the system has steadily declined until now that number is less than ten per day. Among these, it is common to see two or three instances where interceptors are scrambled but recalled before intercept, due to further communications checks. The remaining "unknowns" are intercepted and visually identified by the interceptor aircraft."

By Marian Talmadge and Iris Gilmore (1967)
In his new exposé of the National Security Agency entitled Body of Secrets, author James Bamford highlights a set of proposals on Cuba by the Joint Chiefs of Staff codenamed OPERATION NORTHWOODS. This document, titled “Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba” was provided by the JCS to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962, as the key component of Northwoods. Written in response to a request from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba. These proposals - part of a secret anti-Castro program known as Operation Mongoose - included staging the assassinations of Cubans living in the United States, developing a fake “Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington,” including “sink[ing] a boatload of Cuban refugees (real or simulated),” faking a Cuban airforce attack on a civilian jetliner, and concocting a “Remember the Maine” incident by blowing up a U.S. ship in Cuban waters and then blaming the incident on Cuban sabotage. Bamford himself writes that Operation Northwoods “may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government.”

Personally it is my contention that the so called "terrorists" were only participants the many war games being carried out on 9-11. They had no idea they were about to die in the events of 9-11. Evidence of this is the fact that they were seen in strip clubs the night before. Does this behavior indicate the mindset of religious fanatics out to avenge Allah? Is this how one would think religous fanatics would prepare to meet Allah? I don't think so.

Although they are Sunnis, the group's warriors are allowed to practice something akin to the Shi'a Islam notion of taqiyya. This means they can disguise their true principles for protection of their own faith. This allows them to blend in with Western society and also to disobey all rules of their form of Islam for the goal of destroying Western civilisation from within, a form of antinomianism. According to this ideology, the warriors will be martyrs in Paradise after death.

Mohammed Atta, although puritanical in his behavior, was believed to be Takfiri. He's not the only al Qaeda operative you could point the finger at. Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed went to discos, drank alcohol and dated call girls. Yousef in particular is renowned for being generally unIslamic and non-observant of prayers and fasting. Although no one has suggested openly that Yousef and KSM were Takfiri, it's hardly a stretch.

Not to mention the flight manifests didn't record them as being on the flight.

Thats interesting but I'd like to point out that pulling off a scheme like this one would want to be in full control of his faculties. It would be worse than coming into work hung over.

I think that it was shot down too, but I think that the entire "passengers rushing the terrorists" line is pure crapola. Flight 93 took off much later than it was supposed to due to a delay. I think these planes were "set up" to participate in the war games and the "unwitting" victims were no less fodder than those that foolishly participate in our governments wars for profit. The alleged hijackers were innocents too, if indeed any were even on the planes. It was said that they were seen in strip clubs, but it was also said that they did not appear in the flight manifests. For all we know the hijackers are just a scam too and may never have existed. With remote control, no hijackers were needed.
One other point is the fact that these flights on a normal day held three times the passengers as they happened to on 9-11.

How come you know they got drunk? You don't just get drunk by osmosis from being near alcohol.
These guys were meant to be hiding their true identities (fundamentalist nutters) from everyone, so they could carry out their mission. If they walked down the street constantly crying out "USA is SATAN! YOU WILL ALL DIE!" they might have attracted the wrong sort of attention.
As it is they pretended to be the opposite of what they truly were to throw off any investigators. This is hardly a new or original idea.

I'll admit I never saw that flight manifest before. But it really proves nothing if this was an inside job. Tickets could have been purchased and the seats still could have been empty.
