WHERE ARE OUR MILITARY LEADERS?
What, in God’s name, is happening to us? We are lying and distorting and covering up now on a daily basis. I am speaking of our military leaders, for God’s sake! The men who have sworn an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Are they in fact selling us out; have they in fact betrayed the nation? Are they in fact guilty of high treason?
Think about it, for time is fast running out. You will reach a time... and soon... where duty-honor-country means nothing and the only factor that counts is que bono? That is, who profits?
And by that time, it is too late, for we have already sold out and we then proceed into the never-never land of no return, where nothing can emerge but low whimpers, sad whines, and finally from somewhere, in its dankest depths, a few last unremarkable bubbles…
NOTE: GEN PACE, USMC, HAD HIS “HORSE-HOLDER”, A LIEUTENANT COLONEL,USAF, RESPOND BY PHONE ON 5 MARCH 2002:
“I have received your correspondence of 23 January. I cannot make any comment at the present time, but... Semper Fi” (meaning in Marine corps lingo, “always faithful”).
Later, he had 500 copies of the letter and all attachments made up and distributed, I assume, to the top brass and perhaps to the Prez. See last para of the Portugal article for clarification.
Maybe there are still those troops who actually believe in Duty-Honor- Country. I repeat for emphasis, Semper Fi... and I ain’t even a Marine!

HAS THERE BEEN A DE FACTO COUP?
Consider carefully an excerpt from the book, Barbarians Inside the Gates. This book was published a year before the critical date of 11 September 2001. One of its most revealing chapters is “The Coming Coup”. (begin quote) - (page XXI)
Edward Luttwak, formerly a student at the London School of Economics, published Coup d’État - A Practical Handbook in 1978. It is a masterpiece.
We must now ask the question: Have the Barbarians already pulled off a de facto coup? Here is a most pertinent passage from Luttwak’s Coup d’État:
If we were revolutionaries, wanting to change the structure of society, our aim would be to destroy the power of some of the political forces, and the long and often bloody process of revolutionary attrition can achieve this.
Our purpose, however, is quite different: we want to seize power within the present system, and we shall only stay in power if we embody some new status quo supported by those very forces which a revolution may seek to destroy. [emphasis added]
Should we want to achieve fundamental social change we can do so after we have become the government. This perhaps is a more efficient method (and certainly a less painful one) than that of the classic revolution.
Though we will try to avoid all conflict with the political forces, some of them will almost certainly oppose a coup.
But this opposition will largely subside when we have substituted our new status quo for the old one, and can enforce it by our control of the state bureaucracy and security forces. (emphasis added)
This period of transition, which comes after we have emerged into the open and before we are vested with the authority of the state, is the most critical phase of the coup. We shall then be carrying out the dual task of imposing our control on the machinery of state, while at the same time using it to impose our control on the country at large. Any resistance to the coup in the one will stimulate further resistance in the other; if a chain reaction develops the coup could be defeated.
Our major point to ponder as we go through Barbarians Inside the Gates is that if a de facto coup has already taken place, then, in order to avoid a bloody revolution for change, a counter-coup may be necessary in order to restore the machinery of state and gain control once more of the critical levers of power.
Think about it seriously, for time is fast running out. {end quote — taken from Page XXI of the prologue, Barbarians Inside the Gates}
I cannot say with certainty that a “cold coup” took place on the morning of 11 September. If so, it was long in the planning stage (perhaps, since 1995). If a coup d’état actually took place early that morning of 11 September, then, who were the actual king- makers? Who was “in charge”?
Certain individuals appear to be in control; appear to be actually running the government (called a shadow govt.).
If there was a de facto coup on 11 September, it could it be known as Phase 1.
Phase 2 could then be the takeout of Iraq by air strikes and another coup to remove Saddam Hussein; it could also entail “evacuation” of Arafat and the Palestinian Authority, or a “unilateral separation” of the Palestinians.
But, please contemplate Sun Tsu... All warfare is based on deception.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
DATE: 16 May 02
Col Donn de Grand Pré US Army (Ret)
I continue to work with several airline pilots, who, among other things, are stressing the fact that prior to 11 September, the four major transcontinental lines (two UAL, two AA) were averaging 220 passengers a flight. Suddenly, on 11 Sep, here is the official and confirmed tally:
AA Flight 77 - - 56 passengers, 6 crew
UAL flight 93 - - 33 passengers, 7 crew
AA flight 11 - - 76 passengers, 11 crew
UAL Flight 175 - - 47 passengers, 9 crew
I have an authentic listing (dated 12 September 01) of all the passengers by alphabetical order; I repeat it because I said it before — there were no hijackers, Arab or otherwise; there were no — repeat no — cell phone contacts or other transmissions of any kind. I have no doubt that the manifests were accurate.
These are facts; I can only speculate as to the “why’ of it (or the “how”).
However, it is dead-ended... as it was meant to be. The FBI arranged for those “additions’ to the passenger listings to reflect (after the fact) that “19 Middle East hijackers” were on board the ‘hijacked” airplanes — complete with their photos! (dated 27 September). The reason (accepted as “official”) for not listing the alleged hijackers on the passenger manifests was “national security”.
The pilots ( I have at least 4 AA captains) who could attest as to under-capacity, but not in writing, nor who wish to have their names revealed. So, that too becomes a dead-end... for now. But, recall Yogi Berra's stirring words ... it ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
I remain eternally optimistic that the unending series of lies and damned lies perpetuated by the “intelligence community”, and coupled to the political prevaricators, will eventually come unglued, and that the truth will out.
It has taken the engineers and Hollywood script writers over 7 months to reconstruct the black box, complete with faked "scenarios", after the F-16 obliterated the aircraft -- and the original voice recorder -- of UAL flight 93. A top gun of the North Dakota Air Guard, a 33- year-old Lt Col, took it out with two well-placed air-to-air missiles.
Tell me one more time, Papa, how the engineers and Hollywood script writers faked the Apollo moon landing... one giant step for mankind...
