Quote from : Wikipedia : Operation Northwoods
Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a false-flag plan, proposed within the United States government in 1962.
The plan called for CIA or other operatives to commit apparent acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Castro-led Cuba.
One plan was to "develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington".
This operation is especially notable in that it included plans for hijackings and bombings followed by the use of phony evidence that would blame the terrorist acts on a foreign government, namely Cuba.
The plan stated:
""
The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.
""
Operation Northwoods was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and signed by then-Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer, and sent to the Secretary of Defense.
Several other proposals were listed, including the real or simulated actions against various U.S military and civilian targets.
Operation Northwoods was part of the U.S. government's Cuban Project (Operation Mongoose) anti-Castro initiative. It was never officially accepted or executed.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Stalking Horse
A stalking horse is a person who tests a concept with someone or mounts a challenge against them on behalf of an anonymous third party.
If the idea proves viable and/or popular, the anonymous figure can then declare their interest and advance the concept with little risk of failure.
If the concept fails, the anonymous party will not be tainted by association and can either drop the idea completely or bide their time and wait until a better moment for launching an attack.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Laser Guided Vehicle
An automated guided vehicle or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot that follows markers or wires in the floor, or uses vision or lasers.
They are most often used in industrial applications to move materials around a manufacturing facility or a warehouse.
Application of the automatic guided vehicle has broadened during the late 20th century and they are no longer restricted to industrial environments.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Laser Guidance
Laser guidance is a technique of guiding a missile or other projectile or vehicle to a target by means of a laser beam.
Some laser guided systems utilise beam riding guidance, but most operate more similarly to semi-active radar homing (SARH).
This technique is sometimes called SALH, for Semi-Active Laser Homing.
With this technique, a laser is kept pointed at the target and the laser radiation bounces off the target and is scattered in all directions (this is known as “painting the target”, or “laser painting”).
The missile, bomb, etc. is launched or dropped somewhere near the target.
When it is close enough that some of the reflected laser energy from the target reaches it, a laser seeker detects which direction this energy is coming from and adjusts the projectile trajectory towards the source.
As long as the projectile is in the general area and the laser is kept aimed at the target, the projectile should be guided accurately to the target.
Note that laser guidance is not useful against targets that do not reflect much laser energy, including those coated in special paint which absorbs laser energy.
This is likely to be widely used by advanced military vehicles in order to make it harder to use laser rangefinders against them and harder to hit them with laser-guided munitions.
An obvious circumvention would be to aim the laser merely close to the target.
Countermeasures to laser guidance are Laser detection systems, Smoke screen, active anti-laser active protection systems.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV; also known as a remotely piloted vehicle or RPV) is an aircraft that flies without a human crew on board the aircraft.
Their largest uses are in military applications.
To distinguish UAVs from missiles, a UAV is defined as a reusable, uncrewed vehicle capable of controlled, sustained, level flight and powered by a jet or reciprocating engine.
Therefore, cruise missiles are not considered UAVs, because, like many other guided missiles, the vehicle itself is a weapon that is not reused, even though it is also unmanned and in some cases remotely guided.
There is a wide variety of UAV shapes, sizes, configurations, and characteristics. Historically, UAVs were simple drones (remotely piloted aircraft), but autonomous control is increasingly being employed in UAVs.
UAVs come in two varieties:
some are controlled from a remote location, and others fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans using more complex dynamic automation systems.
Currently, military UAVs perform reconnaissance as well as attack missions.
While many successful drone attacks on militants have been reported, they are also prone to collateral damage and/or erroneous targeting, as with many other weapon types.
UAVs are also used in a small but growing number of civil applications, such as firefighting or nonmilitary security work, such as surveillance of pipelines.
UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty, or dangerous" for manned aircraft.
The abbreviation UAV has been expanded in some cases to UAVS (unmanned-aircraft vehicle system).
The Federal Aviation Administration has adopted the generic class unmanned aircraft system (UAS) originally introduced by the U.S. Navy to reflect the fact that these are not just aircraft, but systems, including ground stations and other elements.
Quote from : Wikipedia : MQ-1 Predator
The General Atomics MQ-1 Predator is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which the United States Air Force (USAF) describes as a MALE (medium-altitude, long-endurance) UAV system.
It can serve in a reconnaissance role and fire two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles.
The aircraft, in use since 1995, has seen combat over Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bosnia, Serbia, Iraq, and Yemen.
The MQ-1 Predator is a system, not just an aircraft.
The fully operational system consists of four air vehicles (with sensors), a ground control station (GCS), and a Predator primary satellite link communication suite.
The U.S. Air Force considers the Predator unmanned aircraft system (UAS) a "Tier II" vehicle.
The Predator system was initially designated the RQ-1 Predator.
The "R" is the Department of Defense designation for reconnaissance and the "Q" refers to an unmanned aircraft system.
The "1" describes it as being the first of a series of aircraft systems built for unmanned reconnaissance.
Pre-production systems were designated as RQ-1A, while the RQ-1B (not to be confused with the RQ-1 Predator B, which became the MQ-9 Reaper) denotes the baseline production configuration.
It should be emphasized that these are designations of the system as a unit.
The actual aircraft themselves were designated RQ-1K for pre-production models, and RQ-1L for production models.
In 2005, the USAF officially changed the designation to MQ-1 (the "M" designates multi-role) to reflect its growing use as an armed aircraft.
The RQ-1 Predator drone became the primary unmanned aerial vehicle used for offensive operations in Afghanistan and the Pakistani tribal areas.
Its endurance is such that it can fly 400 nautical miles to a target, loiter overhead for 14 hours, then return to its base.
US generals testifying before the United States Congress in November-December 2009 about the new Afghanistan strategy declined to discuss the issue of Predator-launched missile strikes in public.
The program was supposed to be classified.
They discussed their appreciation for the intelligence and reconnaissance-gathering abilities of UAVs.

Okay, ugie1028, forget that the "stalking horse" was Tower 7, for a second, maybe it was just used as an observation platform, to verify?
This would mean another building was used to target the laser.
What building faces the Twin Towers from the angle that the video shows a huge white dot on the side of the second building in the "U.A.V." video?
[edit on 12-1-2010 by SpartanKingLeonidas]
Why do they choose to believe the more unlikely conspiracy story which suggests that at least some reporters of some news organizations were given a script? Especially when, much more logically, miscommunication could easily explain the video.
Why in the WORLD would they need to give the reporters a head's up??? Why wouldn't they just blow the building up and let them report the collapse as they would have normally?
What most likely, logically happened: While investigating and updating information on the collapse of the towers, someone at the BBC was given a report/press release that building 7 was going to collapse. [Edit: we now know they were monitoring the news from different outlets and that's where they learned of building 7.] According to the fire department, by 2:00PM they knew the building would soon collapse. Reporters KNEW this well before the collapse because there are videos of reporters talking about it before it happened. So we KNOW reporters were given information on WTC 7's imminent demise. We can conclude from this evidence that the fire department relayed information to reporters that the building was going to collapse. By the time the report reached the reporter at the BBC, it may have simply been miscommunicated from "About to collapse" to "Has collapsed". She even starts out by saying "Details are very, very sketchy". That alone should put this to rest. She didn't say 'Sketchy'. She didn't say 'very sketchy'. She said "very, very sketchy".
It wouldn't be the first time reporters got something so completely wrong. They said it was a small plane at first, remember? They said Kerry choose Gephardt for VP, remember? They told the family members of trapped mine workers that their 13 loved ones were alive, all but one, when it was the other way around. Those are just a few glaring examples. I could go on... Reporters rush to be the first one with the news and often do a poor job of getting the facts straight. History is littered with examples of this. Even your average knuckle dragging, cave dwelling Neanderthal knows this. (My sincerest apologies Geico's Neanderthal man...)

The reason why I think WTC7 was brought down was because of all the investigative reports regarding Enron, that the CIA was based there as well, and various other financial records that would tie a noose around a lot of peoples necks. (plus it was probably all orchestrated there... Planning the inside job.)
What do you think of the Operation Northwoods theory about 9/11?

Quote from :
Wikipedia : Prescott Bush : Bush and the Union Banking Corporation
Bush was one of seven directors of the Union Banking Corporation, an investment bank controlled by the Thyssen family, which was seized in October 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act as being owned by "enemy aliens."
The assets were held by the government for the duration of the war, then returned afterward.
In an article relying on conspiracy theorist John Buchanan's work, The Guardian stated that the company formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Thyssen to move assets around the world.
The Alien Property Custodian records state "Whether all or part of the funds held by Union Banking Corporation, or companies associated with it, belong to Fritz Thyssen could not be established in this investigation."
The seizure of companies under the Act were designated "classified" and declassified in 2002 when all similar records were declassified.
In 2003, the Anti-Defamation League responded, saying:
“Rumors about the alleged Nazi 'ties' of the late Prescott Bush ... have circulated widely through the internet in recent years.
These charges are untenable and politically motivated.
Despite some early financial dealings between Prescott Bush and a Nazi industrialist named Fritz Thyssen (who was arrested by the Nazi regime in 1938 and imprisoned during the war), Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathizer."

Quote from : Wikipedia : Chapter VII : Article 51 of the United Nations Charter
Article 51 provides for the right of countries to engage in military action in self-defense, including collective self-defense (i.e. under an alliance).
This has been cited as support for the legality of the Vietnam War.
“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.
Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.
Quote from : Wikipedia : United Nations Security Council
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the principal organs of the United Nations and is charged with the maintenance of international peace and security.
Its powers, outlined in the United Nations Charter, include the establishment of peacekeeping operations, the establishment of international sanctions, and the authorization of military action.
Its powers are exercised through United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
The Security Council held its first session on 17 January 1946 at Church House, London.
Since its first meeting, the Council, which exists in continuous session, has traveled widely, holding meetings in many cities, such as Paris and Addis Ababa, as well as at its current permanent home in the United Nations building in New York City.
There are 15 members of the Security Council, consisting of five veto-wielding permanent members (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States) and ten elected non-permanent members with two-year terms.
This basic structure is set out in Chapter V of the UN Charter.
Security Council members must always be present at UN headquarters in New York so that the Security Council can meet at any time.
This requirement of the United Nations Charter was adopted to address a weakness of the League of Nations since that organization was often unable to respond quickly to a crisis.

In a search put 911 WTC tenants. In there you will find a company. A construction company that happens to have fire proofed the floors that got hit on the morning of the hits. So happens that the fatalities within this company are few compared to the rest. Is it also coincidence that the same company is the main construction company in dubai and also the founder of pharmacutical companies?
Quote from : Wikipedia : Dubai
Dubai (in Arabic: دبيّ, pronounced Dubayy) is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
It is located south of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula.
The Dubai Municipality is sometimes called Dubai state to distinguish it from the emirate.
Written accounts document the existence of the city for at least 150 years prior to the formation of the UAE.
Dubai shares legal, political, military and economic functions with the other emirates within a federal framework, although each emirate has jurisdiction over some functions such as civic law enforcement and provision and upkeep of local facilities.
Dubai has the largest population and is the second-largest emirate by area, after Abu Dhabi.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the only two emirates to possess veto power over critical matters of national importance in the country's legislature.
Dubai has been ruled by the Al Maktoum dynasty since 1833.
Its current ruler, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is also the Prime Minister and Vice-President of the UAE.
The emirate's main revenues are from tourism, property and financial services.
Although Dubai's economy was originally built on the oil industry, revenues from petroleum and natural gas currently contribute less than 6% (2006) of the emirate's US$ 80 billion economy (2009).
Property and construction contributed 22.6% to the economy in 2005, before the current large-scale construction boom.
Dubai has attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events.
This increased attention, coinciding with its emergence as a global city and business hub, has highlighted labour and human rights issues concerning its largely South Asian workforce.
Established in 2004, the Dubai International Finance Centre was intended as a landmark project to turn Dubai into a major international hub for banks and finance, rivalling New York, London, and Hong Kong.
