War Games: The Key to a
9/11 USAF Stand Down
On 9/11 there was no reaction from the USAF as hijacked aircraft flew through US airspace and plowed into buildings. This lack of response is inconceivable unless the USAF was stood down.
Norman Mineta Confirms That Dick Cheney Ordered Stand Down on 9/11

Did the USAF Help pull off 911?
Keep this civil? You flat out accuse my fellow Airmen of being involved in something like this?
The more I dig the more guilty the Bush administration are including a handful of military officials in the Air Force.
Without a single, solitary shred of proof other than the lunatic ravings of the truth movement?
I truly do wish I knew who you are in real life. Slander and libel are civil offenses for which you can be held liable.
I think the simple fact is that the more people which are required to be complicit in the events of 9/11, the less likely it is to be true.

Milosevic Residence Bombed In Predawn Strike on Belgrade
By Bradley Graham
Friday, April 23, 1999
THE WASHINGTON POST -- Four sea-launched cruise missiles slammed into a residence of President Slobodan Milosevic in a predawn attack on Belgrade on Thursday, and Pentagon officials declared NATO’s air campaign against Yugoslavia had broadened into an effort to decapitate the government.
The strike on the white mansion in a residential neighborhood of the Yugoslav capital gave a new personal dimension, involving targets that are closely associated with Milosevic and not strictly military, to the month-old allied offensive. It came a day after attacks on a tall Belgrade building that housed, among other things, offices of Milosevic’s Serbian Socialist Party and a television station operated by his daughter Marija.
In an exchange with reporters at the White House, President Clinton said NATO was not trying to target Milosevic. And Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder declared the action consistent with a long-standing U.S. presidential order prohibiting assassination attempts against foreign leaders. Another senior administration official said Milosevic is known to be spending his nights in various other locations.
Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon called the house a legitimate target because it included “security and military bunkers” and was operated as a “command and control facility” helping to direct the crackdown in the Serbian province of Kosovo.
It is not something I want to either say or believe; however, all the evidence I have seen points only in that direction.
Official Confirms a C-130 crew did see the Pentagon strike.
Witnesses to the Pentagon attack were troubled that Pentagon had denied the presence of the C-130. However, almost a month and a half later, the Daily Press reported on the (dubbed) October 17th Surprise:
A C-130 cargo plane had departed Andrews Air Force Base en route to Minnesota that morning… said Lt. Col. Kenneth McClellan, a Pentagon spokesman. In the days immediately following the Sept. 11 hijackings, the Pentagon claimed it had no knowledge of the C-130’s encounter, because all reports were classified by the Air National Guard…[!][xi]
So their excuse for deceiving us was “We didn’t know because — it was classified!” 208 It’s a bad lie because NORAD and NMCC obviously would have been tracking the C-130, unless it has some type of top-secret Klingon “cloaking technology”.

The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line or Early Warning Line, was a system of radar stations in the far northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the North Coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska, in addition to the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It was set up to detect incoming Soviet bombers during the Cold War, a task which quickly became outdated when intercontinental ballistic missiles became the main delivery system for nuclear weapons.
The DEW Line was the northernmost and most capable of three radar lines in Canada; the joint Canadian-US Pinetree Line ran from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, and the Mid-Canada Line ran somewhat north of this.
The DEW line was supplemented by two "barrier" forces in the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans which were operated by the United States Navy from 1956 to 1965. These barrier forces consisted of five surface picket stations each manned by radar destroyer escorts and an air wing of Lockheed WV-2 Warning Star aircraft that patrolled the picket lines at 1,000-2,000 m (3,000-6,000 ft) altitude in 12- to 14-hour missions. Their objective was to extend early warning coverage against surprise Soviet bomber and missile attack as an extension of the DEW Line.
The Atlantic Barrier (BarLant) consisted of two rotating squadrons, one based at Naval Station Argentia, Newfoundland, to fly orbits to the Azores and back; and the other training at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. BarLant began operations on 1 July 1956, and flew continuous coverage until early 1965, when the barrier was shifted to cover the approaches between Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom (GIUK barrier). Aircraft from Argentia were staged through NAS Keflavik, Iceland, to extend coverage times.
The Pacific Barrier (BarPac) began operations with one squadron operating from NAS Barbers Point, Hawaii, and a forward refueling base at Naval Station Midway, on 1 July 1958. Its orbits overlapped the radar picket stations of the ships of Escort Squadron Seven (CORTRON SEVEN), from roughly Kodiak Island to Midway. Normally 4 or 5 WV-2s were required at any single time to provide coverage over the entire line.
Barrier Force operations were discontinued by September 1965 and their EC-121K (WV-2 before 1962) aircraft placed in storage.

The North Warning System (NWS) is a series of radar stations across Arctic North America. It provides surveillance of airspace from potential incursions or attacks from across North America's polar region. The NWS consists of 13 long-range radars (11 in Canada of which 8 were DEW Line sites) and 39 short-range radars (36 in Canada). The system forms a 4,800-kilometer-long and 320-kilometer-wide "tripwire" stretching from Alaska, via Canada, to Greenland.
NWS was established in 1985 when selected DEW Line stations were upgraded and merged with newly built stations into a more advanced early warning system. Automation was increased over the previous DEW Line system and a number of additional DEW Line stations were closed. In 1990, with the end of the Cold War and collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S. Air Force withdrew remaining personnel from Canadian NWS stations and turned full operation over to the Canadian Forces.
The system is controlled by the northern segment of NORAD from CFB North Bay.
Making up the system are 39 AN/FPS-124 short-range minimally-attended radars and 15 long-range AN/FPS-117 radars.
