The new world order, where in by, it becomes a global government and unifies all the countries.
The Towers were knocked down and replaced with "Freedom Tower" that is under construction right now, but the name was officially changed by the Port Authority in 2009.
It is now officially called "The One World Tower." I mean, seriously, isn't this alone telling of who did it? Set to be completed in 2013.... the new "aeon" or "conscious" shift. The shift to a global governance.
It's coming, AJ is right when he says if you could only see it, you would know there is no other option but to defeat it.

Yeah you know you are right. Everyone else likes Dick Cheney and maybe I should give the guy a break. He is probably a nice down to earth fella. Maybe I will join the rest of the world in pouring out love for dick. Call me what you will, deduce what you want to - the man is a cretin and I don't have the time or energy to hate him. I don't even hate roaches. I can live without them though and I sure do think they are ugly as sin.

Probably why Foxnews shut down their comments and if you notice CNN is starting to not allow comments on certain stories.

Really? I could have sworn they said that jets that could have been scrambled to intercept the planes where mysteriously out on maneuvers or a training exercise.
Gotta watch it again..
Well, they might have said that, but that don't make it true. I assume you are referring to the Loose Change Video you watched? Darn, Langley only had two fighters ready to go, but three launched (one unarmed) just to get a presence over DC. Andrews AFB was not part of the air defense program at the time and had no standby fighters. Takes time to get a fighter armed and ready to go. Even when Andrews got up and running they acted more like the Secret Service's personal air force rather than part of any coordinated air defense. From the countless hours I've spent listening to the DCA, ADW and NEADS audios from the day, it really is pretty sad how poorly prepared they were to defend our nations capital. Reminded me of one of those old Keystone cop movies more than an active air defense.edit on 24-6-2012 by 911files because: (no reason given)
Originally posted by kidtwistOf course Andrews AFB had standby fighters, but they also sent them on a training exercise that day, they sent them out before it all happened, made sure they were far enough away top intercept anything, and by the time they refueled and called them back, it was all over!

You obviously are not aware that NC is their "normal" training area and they were there ONLY because they were training. As you have been told many times, NC was NOT an active defense location, these were Air National Guard pilots! So by virtue of the fact that they actually had pilots in the air, they were ahead of the game.
So why would they need to make "sure they were far enough away to intercept anything"? Darn, they could have just made sure no one was scheduled to come in or train at all and done a much better job of it.

They were dropping bombs as part of a training mission, they were combat planes, and there have been combat planes at Andrews AFB since 1994 when a stolen plane crashed at the white house. Get up to speed will you!

Conveniently they also had just sent most of their pilots on another training op called 'operation red flag' just before 9/11, so on 9/11 half of the pilots were on leave, otherwise there would have been enough available to intercept! can you see a pattern forming now, they deliberately either tied the pilots up on training exercises, or they were off on leave due to exercises just before 9/11!
If I was an American citizen, I'd ask for a tax refund because their trillion dollar defence budget is utterly worthless it seems! Just think of how many people in the world could benefit from a trillion dollars!

I do not presume to know but I do have a fertile imagination which allows me to see possibilities that others may not.
For all we know Cheney saved the planet by going along with this.
How?
Let your imagination run wild.
Don't let me have all the fun.
Sometimes the truth is truely stranger than fiction.

cheney, like all the ruling elitists, believes firmly in nepotism, elitism, and little else. that makes the masses simple fodder in farm-planning, wars and any other general management issues. *shrugs* if it wasnt cheney, it would have been one of the other pig-souled pschopaths in their lil entourage. if it had been under obama's watch, he would have follwed the elitist agenda as well. as he now does.

What Mineta did say was that Cheney said "The order still stands".
No where can I find that Cheney said "stand down".
The truthers spinning machine invented the 'stand down' thing.
Prove Cheney said 'stand down'.
Later, General Arnold testified under oath that NORAD had no authority to shoot Flight
77 down at 9:37 a.m., the time of the Pentagon strike, even if the fighter plane interceptors
had arrived in time.
There are two possibilities: either the order (to shoot down the plane if that was the order
Cheney had given) did not reach the military despite the fact that it was given, according to
Mineta, prior to his arrival at the Presidential Emergency Command Center (PEOC) at 9:20
a.m., or the order was a standdown order - an order not to shoot the plane down.
The idea that an order to shoot down aircraft was delayed (from when it would have been
given prior to Mineta=s arrival in the PEOC around 9:20 a.m.) in its transmission from the
Vice-President of the United States to the General in charge of NORAD on September 11,
2001, seems all the more unbelievable and absurd when one reads the following exchange
between General Arnold and Lee Hamilton on page 47 of the official 9/11 Commission
transcript:
MR. HAMILTON:
Now, one of the things that's curious to me, General Arnold, you said that you did not
learn of the presidential order until after United 93 had already crashed. That was
about a little after 10 o'clock in the morning. The first notice of difficulty here was at
8:20 in the morning when a transponder goes off on the American Flight 11. I don't know
how significant that is, but 20 minutes later you had notification of the possible hijack. So
there's a long lapse of time here between the time you are initially alerted and you receive
the order that you can shoot that aircraft down. Am I right about that?
GEN. ARNOLD: That's correct.
MR. HAMILTON: In your timeline, why don't you put in there when you were notified?
GEN. ARNOLD: Of which flight, sir? MR. HAMILTON:
Getting the notification from the President of the United States that you had the authority to
shoot a commercial aircraft down is a pretty significant event. Why would that not be in
your timeline?
GEN. ARNOLD: I don't know when that happened.
MR. HAMILTON: Had you ever received that kind of a notice before?
GEN. ARNOLD: Not to my knowledge.
MR. HAMILTON: So this is the first time in the history of the country that such an order
had ever been given, so far as you know?
GEN. ARNOLD: Yes, sir. I'm sure there's a log that would tell us that, and I appreciate
the question.
MR. HAMILTON: Maybe you could let us know that.

Only problem is, Mineta was not in the PEOC at 9:20. Impossible for him to have been. He asserts that he arrived at the White House AFTER the evacuation began. That began at the earliest 9:35 in response to the approach of AAL77. Meaning it was IMPOSSIBLE for Mineta to have heard anything said in regards to AAL77.
Conclusion
We have seen from the evidence presented that prior to 9:20 a.m. on the morning of
September 11, 2001, certain orders were executed by Vice President Richard Cheney to
the U.S. military. Norman Mineta=s testimony before the 9/11 Commission establishes
clearly that these orders Awhich still stood@ just prior to the Pentagon strike were issued by
executive authority prior to Mineta=s entry into the Presidential Emergency Operations
Center of the White House (PEOC) at 9:20 a.m.
It is undisputed, relying on the vast majority of the public record of events of that time
period on 9/11, that President George Bush was Aout of the loop@ with regard to any such
order. Bush was in the midst of his appearance at Booker School in Florida and did not
issue these orders. So these orders were issued by Vice Presidential authority. Mineta=s
testimony evidences Cheney=s awareness of the existence of these orders, and indicates
command authority over the execution or non-execution of these orders.
Were the orders stand down orders or shoot down orders?
Norman Mineta and General Arnold and the 9/11 Commission all agree that no shoot down
orders were issued prior to the crash of Flight 93. For the Aorders still stand@ commands to
have been shoot down orders, if the Executive Order (either Presidential or Vice-
Presidential) that Astill stands@ given prior to 9:20 a.m. was a shoot down order, then,
according to General Arnold, this order did not reach NORAD or the United States Air
Force until after Flight 93 went down in Pennsylvania after 10:00 a.m., a full 45 minutes or
more after it was given. This possibility defies credulity and cannot be believed. In addition,
the no-fly zone order given at 9:45 a.m. is eliminated as out of the timeline for issuance of
the pre-9:20 a.m. order.
The facts prove: that a shoot down order for Flight 77 was not issued prior to the
Pentagon strike at 9:37 a.m., the non-existence of a shoot down order for any aircraft
until after 10:00 a.m, and confirm the following:
That the Vice-President of the United States, Richard Cheney, with full
knowledge of the fact that a hijacked passenger jet airliner was hurtling toward
Washington D.C., with full knowledge of its distance at regular intervals of a
minimum of 50 miles out from the Capitol, in fact not only did not act to
intercept or shoot down the airliner despite the two earlier hijacked planes
hitting the World Trade Center, but issued a direct order to the U.S. Air Force,
either by himself or from the President of the United States, NOT to shoot down
Flight 77 prior to it hitting the Pentagon.
EPILOGUE
How were these orders issued? The answer to this question is anyone=s guess. The stand
down/ shoot down orders are the ultimate climax decisions which emanate from a hijacking
event chain-of-command. On 9/11, virtually the entire U.S. Air Force was locked into a
multiple war game chain-of-command rigidness whose ability to unlock itself was not within
the short time parameters of the conspirators, and the murderers knew it, especially since
no principal at the top was unlocking the chain, or giving orders from the top of the chain.
But the young aide's panicking in the PEOC could not have been foreseen, and Norman
Mineta's candidness about the incident was not anticipated, which gave us a glimpse into
the crime. Cheney's stand down order was crucial to the success of the crime. The
conspirators know, and knew, that military chain-of-command is cumbersome and slow
when the top moves slowly. The war games did most of the slowing down naturally, the
principals hesitated just a bit, slowing it further, but the "orders which still stand" were the
insurance policy, and Dick Cheney was the underwriter.

My point is that your linked source is not accurate, therefore neither is its conclusion.
