Shocking Claims
Rock Conference
Insider Reveals Disgruntled U.S. Military on Verge of Revolt;
Pilots, Pentagon Man Have Different View on What Happened
.
In May 2003, a journalist in Portugal
reported on a sensational, marathon meeting of a group of U.S.
pilots that I issued a report concluding that the story told by
the U.S. government about what happened on Sept. 11, 2001 is improbable
and unlikely.
. . .Except for
several notices on the Internet, that story was basically never
reported in the United States, and largely debunked when the reporter
flubbed the name of the organizer, creating disbelief in the minds
of many readers.
. . .The record
was corrected in stunning fashion Feb. 25 on Alex Jones's "Prison
Planet" radio program when former Pentagon arms salesman
Donn de Grand-Pre, author of three books that allege 9-11 was
an inside job, set the record straight, because he was the man
who organized that conference. That 72-hour nonstop symposium
by a group of military and civilian pilots concluded the flight
crews of the four passenger airliners involved in the 9-11 tragedy
had no control over their aircraft.
. . .De Grand Pre,
a retired Army colonel, is the author of A Window on America,
Confessions of an Arms Peddler and the series "Barbarians
Inside the Gates." His thesis in the third opus "is
that the wars we have engaged in for whatever reasons since the
end of World War II have not only been unconstitutionally waged,
but have caused a net loss in political power. Each war was waged
to divert our attention away from the true enemy within, and toward
a contrived enemy outside our borders."
. . .De Grand Pre
explained that his third opus actually is a trilogy: "I've
got three books out under the title 'Barbarians Inside the Gates:
Book 1 was The Serpent's Sting, Book 2 is The Viper's
Venom. Book 3, which just came out, is The Rattler's
Revenge.
. . ."And 1'd
like to quote from Book 2, which came out October of 2002. There
is a very important paragraph there. It says,
. . ."The
trigger for the 9-11 activity was the imminent and unstoppable
worldwide financial collapse, which can only be prevented temporarily
by a major war, perhaps to become known as World War III. To bring
it off one more time, martial law will probably be imposed in
the United States."
. . .De Grand Pre
was the top U.S. arms dealer to the Middle East under the Ford
and Carter administrations. What he saw caused him to leave government
service and begin investigating the forces he saw warping our
nation's future.
. . .In the interview
with Jones, de Grand Pre made several stunning assertions, among
them:
. . .• There
were no hijackers on the 9-11 killer jets. And he said the chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Richard Myers) agrees with him.
. . .In response
to a caller to Alex Jones's radio show, de Grand Pre noted: "[T]he
cochairman of the Joint Chiefs himself has agreed there were no
hijackers. There were no cell phone calls. Everybody aboard [those]
aircraft, [including] pilots and crew, [was] unconscious within
8 to 18 minutes after takeoff. And you can take it from there.
I've got it covered in books 2 and 3, what actually happened.
. . ."These
planes were being piloted by remote control, probably an AWACS
aircraft taking over that airplane or airplanes or drones. And
flying them at 5 and 8 G-force that no pilot could withstand.
If you read books 2 and 3, you will discover how and why this
came about."
. . .• The
9-11 planes are now at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. "And
I'm telling you that we are knowledgeably speculating," said
de Grand Pre in response to another caller. "Those aircraft
went over the Atlantic, and that was 'all she wrote'."
. . .• Talk
of a military coup —
to reverse what he calls the administrative coup d'etat
that happened on 9-11 —
is
rife within the corridors of the Pentagon.
. . .In his various
interviews and publications, de Grand-Pre has called 9-11 "an
administrative coup d'etat" by the neoconservatives. He suggests
the only way the neocons can be stopped is by a military coup
d'etat and estimates 70 percent of key military personnel
are in favor of such a step. But the possibility is complicated,
he says, by the large number of key military players who have
gone over to the Council on Foreign Relations team. Some of these
players, including three- and four-star generals, however, may
side with the military while pretending to be on the side of the
neocons.
. . .De Grand Pre
insists he is in personal contact with members of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
. . .The truly
patriotic members of the military have had to sit there and take
all these wild schemes by corporate-controlled politicians. De
Grand Pres prediction? "1 think those days are coming to
an end. The military ain't going to take it any longer."
. . .In the interview
with Jones, de Grand-Pre also asserted:
. . .• It
is common knowledge at the Pentagon that Israel fired nuclear
weapons at Iraq during the first gulf war.
. . .• A
commercial aircraft did not hit the Pentagon. Most likely it was
a cruise missile or a Global Hawk.
. . .• Flight
93, the jetliner that supposedly crashed in Pennsylvania after
courageous passengers struggled with armed hijackers, was shot
down by the North Dakota Air Guard. "I know the pilot who
fired those two missiles to take down [Flight] 93," de Grand
Pre insisted, adding that the order to shoot down the plane came
from the adjutant general of North Dakota.
. . .• Most
likely it was U.S. forces that tried to kill Deputy Defense Secretary
Paul Wolfowitz when he visited Iraq recently.
. . .• Military
tribunals will try current U.S. public officials if the military
takes over, de Grand Pre predicts. "And Cheney is toast."
De Grand Pre named Cheney as the one man who knows the most about
9-11.
. . .In earlier
interviews, de Grand-Pre has recounted that the cochairman of
the Joint Chiefs of staff, Gen. Richard Myers, had 500 copies
of the 24-page report made and sent out, including to the White
House.
. . .Assessing Myers's
reaction, de Grand Pre said, "I'm quite sure that he believed
in it. I think that he still believes in it. You can understand
the difficulties. The civilian administration, of course, won't
recognize it as such.
. . ."There's
a definite cleavage between the military of the Pentagon and the
civilian hierarchy —
and never
the twain shall meet. "
. . .Jones triggered
a response from de Grand Pre when he mentioned a 2002 article
in The Washington Times that said morale at the Pentagon
had never been lower.
. . .De Grand Pre
responded: "I can verify that from Col. Dick Schultz, who
is a friend of mine in the Joint Chiefs. Morale was not only low,
but he said some of the troops are ready to mutiny. If it wasn't
for the fact that the government, the civilian hierarchy, has
control over retirements, there would probably be blood in the
streets by now."
APOPLECTIC
. . .When other
news outlets began checking on this story angle, Jones noted that
Pentagon officials were apoplectic. "[T]hey panicked and
flew the officers on jets to luxury vacations and had these focus
groups. They even talked about a possible mutiny. People were
just totally distraught. What would make them become distraught
overnight in the Pentagon?"
. . .De Grand Pre's
answer was chilling, and revealed the possibility of a military
coup d'etat has been simmering in the corridors of the Pentagon
for some time.
. . ."It wasn't
an overnight thing. You see, as I outline in book 1, and I carry
that on in book 2, as well as book 3, we were on the verge of
a military coup d'etat. And this was long in the planning
and after the 78 days of bombing Kosovo, it became critical. And
we were close to a coup at that time. In my survey of the reports
and the pilots who worked with that, a coup was a possibility.
. . ."In fact,
a coup d'etat was pulled on the morning of Sept. 11.
Only it was an administrative or what we call a 'cold' coup
d'etat."
. . .Jones's translation
of that was "a counterrevolutionary junta."
. . .De Grand Pre
concurred, and added: "And as we delved into that, we found
that the culprits, including [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld,
were part of a neocon group that had been planning this thing
for literally years prior to Sept. 11."
. . .In a previous
interview that appeared on Michael Rivero's "What Really
Happened" website, de Grand Pre had already outlined his
conclusions about 9-11. [Editor's Note: link to Grand Pre article
archived with America First books here, or What Really Happened.com
here].
. . ."The 9-11
activity and horrific destruction of U .S. property and lives
was meant to trigger a psychological and patriotic reaction on
the part of the U.S. citizens, which to pave the way for 'combined
UN activity' (using the fig leaf of NATO) for striking key targets
in both the Middle East/South Asia and the Balkans. The goal continues
to be ultimate destruction of all national sovereignty and establishment
of a global government, the new world order which daddy Bush spoke
of.
. . ."The
trigger for the 9-11 activity was the imminent and unstoppable
worldwide financial collapse, which can only be prevented (temporarily)
by a major war, perhaps to become known as World War III. To bring
it off (one more time), martial law will probably be imposed in
the United States." De Grand Pre had also sounded the same
themes on Jackie Patru's "Radio Sweet Liberty" web cast.
. . ."The so-called
terrorist attack was in fact a superbly executed military operation
against the United States, requiring the utmost professional military
skill in command, communications and control. It was flawless
in timing, in the choice of selected aircraft to be used as guided
missiles, and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to
their pre-selected targets."
. . .As a tactical
military exercise against two significant targets (the world financial
center and the citadel of world strategic military planning),
the attack, from the point of view of a psychological impact on
the American public, equaled the Japanese "surprise"
attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
. . .But the overriding
question of that original group of pilots was: If we are at war,
who is the enemy?
. . .The group determined
that the enemy is within the gates, that he has infiltrated into
the highest policymaking positions at the federal level, and has
absolute control, not only of the purse strings, but of the troop
buildup and deployment of our military forces, including active,
reserve and National Guard units.
