April Gallop suing Rumsfeld and Cheney!!!

Source

On behalf of retired Army officer April Gallop, California attorney William Veale has filed a civil suit against former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney and former US Air Force General Richard Myers, who was acting chairman of the joint chiefs on 9/11. It alleges they engaged in conspiracy to facilitate the terrorist attacks and purposefully failed to warn those inside the Pentagon, contributing to injuries she and her two-month-old son incurred.

This has been posted in the Breaking News forum. However, it is probably more relevant being shown here as well.

April Gallop suing Cheney and Rumsfeld for not giving the evacuation order when they knew that the alleged plane was coming in.

What do you think?

What chance does she have?

Edit: Read the lawsuit in the link. It probably lists every one of the cospiracy points that we discuss each day in this forum.

Let's go, April, let's go! See how far she gets, people? Let's wish her well!

Chances, probably not good. My guess is that in court the judge will look at the evidence behind closed doors and will be persuaded into not disclosing any information because it's a 'national security' matter.

My guess is that nothing will happen; 90% chance nothing happens, 10% chance we get some info out of it, and maybe some justice. But who knows, people are waking up every day, and might be able to put pressure on the system to squeeze out the info.

At the very least, it's putting April's case right out in the open. She probably doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the suit.

Take the time and read all of the numbered points in the lawsuit. It's great. It's almost a beginner's guide to 9/11 conspiracy theories rolled into one. While some of the points probably can be dismissed, there are others that are tough to refute.

That's why we're here every day, day after day, arguing with each other.

Official 9/11 debunkers who keep on calling for truthers to bring the case to court, will now need to EAT THEIR WORDS.

Ranke can actually help the government out with this!! All he has to do is present his evidence for the defense, April will be defeated!! There was no plane that hit the Pentagon!!!

(I'm kidding tezz)

All kidding aside. There have been a few law suits presented by truthers. I believe they have all been dismissed. Kevin Ryan & Judy Woods are a couple that I am aware of.

Even kidding, Cameron, you can still be violating terms and conditions of this website.

The thread title was nothing to do with Craig Ranke, even though he does support April's claim that no plane hit the Pentagon.

All kidding aside. There have been a few law suits presented by truthers. I believe they have all been dismissed. Kevin Ryan & Judy Woods are a couple that I am aware of.

I'm not sure if April's lawsuit is the first from a victim who was diectly affected by the events of the day?

We won't mention Silverstein's lawsuits though. We know how much of a victim that he claims he was.

Great find. Here is April Gallop's testimony in her own words.

Guns and Butter broadcast with Dave von Kleist interviewing April Gallop. There was an explosion and she crawled out from E-Ring through the hole onto the Pentagon lawn. She saw no jet fuel and nobody burned with jet fuel. She and her baby boy were about 35-45 feet from the alleged impact hole and no jet fuel was splashed on them. What happened to the huge infernos and fuel-air explosions inside which allegedly incinerated all the aircraft parts and engines and wheel hubs and baggage and seats?

Perhaps she will get somewhere with the right attorney. April Gallop and son were sitting in her office only 40 feet from the place of impact. Yet they both survived without burns. April was ordered to lie by the Defense Dept and April refused. April stated that she saw NO JET FUEL anywhere in her E-Ring area of the Pentagon.

Career Army officer sues Rumsfeld, Cheney, saying no evacuation order given on 9/11

Stephen C. Webster
Published: Wednesday December 17, 2008
A career Army officer who survived the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, claims that no evacuation was ordered inside the Pentagon, despite flight controllers calling in warnings of approaching hijacked aircraft nearly 20 minutes before the building was struck.

April and little Elisha were located inside that circle on the diagram below only 35-45 feet from the alleged place of impact or the location of the initial explosion. This was an official distance from place of impact according to the Pentagon Renovation Team.

COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS, CONSPIRACY, AND OTHER WRONGS

III. The Attack on the Pentagon.

33. At the Pentagon, the plaintiff was at her desk, with her baby, in her office on the first floor, when large explosions occurred, walls crumbled and the ceiling fell in. Although her desk is just some forty feet from the supposed impact point, and she went out through the blown-open front of the building afterwards, she never saw any sign that an airliner crashed through. If Flight 77, or a substitute, did swoop low over the building, to create the false impression of a suicide attack, it was then flown away by its pilot, or remote control, and apparently crashed someplace else. At the building, inside or outside of the wall the plane supposedly hit, there was no wreckage, no airplane fragments, no engines, no seats, no luggage, no fuselage sections with rows of windows, and especially, no blazing quantities of burning jet fuel. The interior walls and ceilings and contents in that area were destroyed, but there was no sign of a crashed airplane. A number of those present inside the building and out have attested to this fact in published reports.

34. Instead, just when plaintiff turned on her computer — for an urgent document-clearing job she was directed by her supervisor to rush and begin, as soon as she arrived at work, without dropping her baby off at child care until she was finished — a huge explosion occurred, and at least one more that she heard and felt, and flames shot out of the computer. Walls crumbled, the ceiling fell in, and she was knocked unconscious. When she came to, terrified and in pain, she found the baby close by, picked him up, and, with other survivors caught in the area, made her way through rubble, smoke and dust towards daylight, which was showing through an open space that now gaped in the outside wall. When she reached the outside she collapsed on the grass; only to wake up in a hospital some time later.

35. Plaintiff’s injuries could have been avoided, had an alarm been sounded. However, despite the undoubted knowledge of the defendant commanders and operators in the system that an unknown aircraft was headed towards Washington, possibly as part of the apparent terrorist suicide attack begun earlier in New York — and in spite of well-established Pentagon emergency evacuation procedures and training — there was no alarm. On the contrary, plaintiff was directed to go straight to her desk when she arrived at work, and when she got there, and turned her computer on, the place blew up. If an unauthorized non-military plane was headed towards the building, on a day when two apparently hijacked planes had hit the Twin Towers, why wasn’t she evacuated, with her baby, instead of hurried inside? Why weren’t alarms going off, and all the people in the building rushing to safety? Due to the conspiracy, and defendants’ actions and flagrant failures to act, in furtherance of it, one hundred and twenty-five people, members of the Military and civilian employees, died in the bombing; and many more including plaintiff and her child were seriously hurt.

A career Army officer who survived the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, claims that no evacuation was ordered inside the Pentagon, despite flight controllers calling in warnings of approaching hijacked aircraft nearly 20 minutes before the building was struck.

According to a timeline of the attacks, the Federal Aviation Administration notified NORAD that American Airlines Flight 77 had been hijacked at 9:24 a.m. The Pentagon was not struck until 9:43 a.m.

Webmaster's Commentary:
If this suit does go to trial, the Pentagon will try to move heaven and earth for an out of court settlement on this.

There is still a great deal this government doesn't want the public to know about why an evacuation order was not given.

JURISDICTION & VENUE

8. This Court has jurisdiction of this case, as follows:

a. Under the First, Fourth, Fifth and Ninth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, as applied to federal officials under the rule of Bivens v Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971); and 28 USC 1331;

b. Under the federal Common Law — given that the most direct occurrences and mechanisms of plaintiffs’ injuries, no doubt including crucial agreements and other communications among various defendants, took place in the Pentagon, a federal enclave — giving plaintiff a right of action in this Court for conspiracy to commit and facilitate actions likely to cause wrongful death, great bodily injury, terror and other loss to plaintiff and others to whom defendants owed a special duty of care; where, instead, defendants acted with reckless and callous disregard for and deliberate indifference to the likelihood of great harm to plaintiff and others, and deprivation of their rights;

April Gallop will likely win the lawsuit; but it will most likely be settled out of court for 'NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS'. They will want to keep the publicity to a minimum and simply throwing the lawsuit out of court will likely increase publicity. Knocking off April and little Elisha to shut them up would also increase publicity; so they are likely safe from harm. But this is a good thing even if April wins out of court. Elisha needs some very expensive care for a while, and we will make sure her win receives maximum publicity.

This is really a great thing and may open the door to many more 9-11 lawsuits. Thank you April Gallop. You are a great American and a very brave woman.

PARTIES

10. Plaintiff APRIL GALLOP is an American citizen, resident of the State of Virginia, a member until this year of the U.S. Army, stationed at the Pentagon on 9/11, claiming for herself and for her minor child, ELISHA GALLOP, who was just two months old on 9/11/01, and was with her when the building was hit. Plaintiff respectfully petitions the Court to appoint her as guardian ad litem for the purposes of this action and related matters.

11. Defendants are DICK CHENEY, the Vice President of the United States; DONALD RUMSFELD, formerly and at relevant times Secretary of Defense of the U.S.; Gen. RICHARD MYERS, then acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; all sued in their individual capacities. Additional named, unknown defendants are other persons who were and are co-actors and co-conspirators in sundry phases of the (terrorist) undertaking complained of herein, whose identities, and some of whose precise places or functions in the plot(s) alleged herein are not yet known or fully known, but who certainly include high-ranking members of the Defense Department, the Military, the C.I.A., the F.B.I. and other agencies. Such persons are named and alleged as co-defendants, designated as John Does Nos.1-X and hereby notified of this action, pro tanto, to be identified for the record and impleaded by plaintiffs as the particulars of both culpable and innocent acts and omissions by everyone involved in these events become known.

12. Existence of a Class. Plaintiff notes that a number of other persons suffered injury and loss in the Pentagon on September 11 as she did, and are similarly situated to her, plainly within the provisions of Rule 23, F.R.Civ P., so that she represents a Class, the members of which evidently are also entitled to recover judgment as sought herein. She does not now assert the Class interest; but, where it appears there could be action by the Court affecting this question, and a class could emerge, she wishes to and does hereby reserve the right, subject to the Court’s approval, to act as lead plaintiff.

13. Limitations. There is no time bar to the claims in this action. The Statute does not run against plaintiff’s child, as a minor, under Virginia law (Va. Code Ann., §8.01-229). As to the plaintiff herself, defendants and their cohorts and agents, by means of elaborate planned and other ad hoc cover stories, public lying, alteration of records, misappropriation of official authority and other nefarious activities, have concealed and continue to conceal, fraudulently, the truth about the attacks and the way they occurred — and their own participation and complicity in the range of acts and omissions needed, in furtherance of conspiracy, to bring them about. Likewise, the original conspiracy to act secretly in furtherance of terrorism, and lie and dissemble afterwards, in order to foment war and vengeance against the supposed perpetrators, has stayed alive and continued to harm the plaintiff, as she will show.

True. I don't see her officially 'winning' but they'll probably make sure that she's got enough money to keep her content.

This is really a great thing and may open the door to many more 9-11 lawsuits. Thank you April Gallop. You are a great American and a very brave woman.

I agree, SPreston. It may help to expose some cracks in the official story. It may help other people gain the confidence to come forward. April is now too public to suicide. She should be safe enough.

Let's keep an eye on what happens!

What do you think?

What chance does she have?

I think she's crazy.

Zero chance.

The case won't even be heard. Frivolous lawsuits are not looked upon kindly in federal court. She has no standing and her credibility is in extreme question.

She claims there was no jet fuel, yet in a WAPO interview she ALSO claims "If she drives past an airport and smells jet fuel, it all comes back."

She also states in the same interview:

And to leave out graphic details, you know, all of a sudden, due to the impact of the plane, we were blown away from the location we were at and covered under four floors of debris, walls, office equipment, et cetera.

So April sure believe there was a plane impact...or does she?

She also wondered, in that Guns and Butter interview, where were the missiles defenses?

The real question is what is the probability or likelihood that no anti-aircraft defense, warning alarms or additional security mechanism functioned on that particular day?

There have never been *any* "missile defenses" at the Pentagon prior to 9/11. I would expect an Army soldier like Gallop should know that, although since she was in personnel, perhaps that ignorance can be excused. When I worked there in 2000 I knew that.

Webster's article states:

...claims that no evacuation was ordered inside the Pentagon, despite flight controllers calling in warnings of approaching hijacked aircraft nearly 20 minutes before the building was struck.

Nobody knew where those aircraft were headed. Should every one of the over 411,000 federally owned buildings in the Unites States have been evacuated? Should every one of the 8,500 federal buildings managed by the GSA in the Wash DC area been evacuated at 9 am?

I feel for ya, April! But this silly filing will be smacked down like it should be.

This will be tossed out. No question. I hope with extreme prejudice.

Her two month old son (on 911) suffered a severe brain injury. So yes they are lucky to be alive.... but they didn't make it out unscathed.

Her son sustained a serious brain injury, and Gallop herself was knocked unconscious after the roof collapsed onto her office.

She has zero chance of winning. The Vice President and Rumsfeld are immune from suit for acts they committed while in office. Even if she had all the evidence in the world, no judge is going to let her case go forward because of the immunity.

Whether or not she wins; this is great publicity. This is potentially a difficult lawsuit to dismiss, because it is filed in a liberal state with a strong history of prosecution of civil rights violation statutes. The state of New York and especially the city of New York has the largest percentage of citizens demanding a real investigation into 9-11 of any state in the union. That will be difficult for a judge to go against, especially with the PRIMARY SUSPECTS out of office and supposedly unable to intervene and punish the judge for going against their demands. It would be politically expedient for Obama to not intervene and order his DOJ to allow the chips to fall where they may. It will be interesting; and regardless the results, this will not be the last 9-11 lawsuit by a long shot.

The fanatical defenders of the 9-11 OFFICIAL STORY fantasy tale have a nightmare of unending collapse of the official script to apologize for ahead of them. I certainly hope their pay scale is rewarding enough.

First, you wrote this lawsuit is very difficult to dismiss. In fact, this lawsuit is very easy to dismiss. The VP and Secretary of Defense have immunity from suit. It does not matter how much evidence she has, the evidence wil not override the immunity.

Even if a "liberal" New York Judge allowed the case to go forward, the judge would be quickly overturned by the second circuit court of appeals. Even if the second circuit somehow allowed the case to go forward, the Supreme Court would shut them down.

So what you're stating is that some people ARE above the law?

How does that manage to slip past your Constitution? Someone should work to close that loop-hole, hey?

It doesn't surprise me one little bit, that the people with immunity from the law would naturally be the biggest criminals around.

Of course. They can commit treason and murder anyone who gets in their way, and immunity protects them. What would 3000 innocent people trapped in a demo'd building mean to them? Expendable. THE ENDS ALWAYS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS. Correct? Born without moral principles of any kind, why should they feel they need to follow any laws they had sworn to uphold? The US Constitution would just be a G**dammed piece of paper to people like that. The entire Bush/ Walker clan has been like that for generations.

Tasteless jokes aside, April gets full support from CIT and vice-versa:



It sounds as though they are going for the easier LIHOP approach but good luck to them.

It would be quite simple to prove and will definitely bring light to many other anomalies if they have a miracle stroke of luck and get a fair trail.

Her son sustained a serious brain injury, and Gallop herself was knocked unconscious after the roof collapsed onto her office.

What roof collapse? April and little Elisha were out of there long before the roof collapse about 30 minutes after the initial explosion. April was buried in ceiling debris and office furniture debris and office partition debris and building debris by the explosion officially just 35-45 feet away from her desk. April was hurled a distance and knocked out by the initial explosion. Elisha was totaly covered by building debris as were other people working near April. There was no aircraft debris anywhere in that area. And there was NO JET FUEL anywhere in April's area of E-Ring, and their injuries were not burn injuries.



How is that possible if a 124 ft 10 in wingspan jet aircraft with wing and belly tanks half full of of jet fuel allegedly crashed into the wall just 35-45 feet away from them?

April Gallop and Elisha were located in the small circle 35-45 feet from alleged impact
