One of the people I respect the most as a source is Edward Jay Epstein who has gotten far more right than wrong. But as we can see here if the timeline moves on Atta’s first visit to the United States then Mr. Epstein is going to have a hard time sustaining this position. Indeed its probably just a matter of time before he is forced to admit that our depending on the INS and the testimony of 2 Terrorists for the facts on when Atta first came to the States was unwise. ABLE DANGER is turning over a bunch of things we thought we knew.
- Fictoid 11 - The Terror Crop Dusters : “Johnell Bryant, a loan manager in the Department of Agriculture’s Florida Farm Service Office, recalled after September 11th that Atta came to her office to get a $650,000 cash loan to finance a twin-engine, six-passenger airplane (not a crop-duster.) She said that the man had told her that he intended to build a tank in the passenger plane so he could also use it for crop-dusting. She said that the meeting had occurred in 2000, between ‘the third week of April to the third week of May of 2000.’ She was able to fix the date because the Far Service subsequently moved their office to Florida City. While no doubt some Arab-looking man made an inquiry about getting a loan during this period, Mohamed Atta was in Germany during that time period, applying for his visa to come to the United States. He did not arrive in the United States until June 3rd 2000. If so, the person who came into Bryant’s office to get a loan to buy a passenger plane in April or May 2000 could not have been Mohamed Atta.”
Notice this other bit of information on Edwards’s site; obviously ABLE DANGER changes a few things. But notice the Crop Dusting mention which dovetails nicely with the up till now discounted report of Johnell Bryant who claimed to have met Atta. Naturally it was discounted because he wasn’t in the United States according to the official timeline. But if the timeline was wrong as it appears increasingly likely that it was then Atta was here and Johnell Bryant’s story likely occurred just as she remembered. Personally I don’t believe anyone could have forgotten or mistaken Atta’s face for anyone else.
- Next, since it emerged out of the 1998 investigation of al-Qaeda attacks in Africa that Osama Bin Laden planned to train pilots for crop dusting and other agriculture tasks, Able Danger would cross-reference its short list with applicants to US flight schools. Here Atta’s name would come up 31 times, as he applied to 31 flight schools.
Keep in mind that Anthrax can be dispersed if imperfectly by a crop duster, yes I know that’s not the best way but it will work. Furthermore when you combine the Anthrax attacks that did occur, with the reports of members of the hijacking team visiting hospitals with lesions similar if not identical to the sort of injury sustained by exposure to anthrax you get the sort of questions that the 9/11 Commission apparently did not want to face.
Some have tried to state that Atta was interested in renting the small twin engine private airplane with the cover story of using it for a crop duster because that hide his actual desire to fill the crop duster tank with gasoline and use the plane as he used Flt 11. Occam’s Razor comes into play here. Why make up the very implausible story about converting a perfectly good twin engine plane into a Crop Duster? Aside from the ridiculous aspect of using a twin engine plane as a crop duster, if you are not a pilot then it might sound plausible, its not. Twins down low carrying lots of weight aren’t a real blast to fly around, the power to weight ratio is against long term survival of the pilot. Anyways aside from the ridiculous aspects there was absolutely no reason to not use large jets as was done to carry out their attacks. We didn’t have a clue that sort of planning was in the works and so the likelihood of it being successful was higher than trying to rent a twin convert it into a crop duster and simply to fill it with gasoline and run it into something. You can do that with a lot more effect in a Commercial Jet as we all know.
So then if Bin Laden was interested in crop dusters and Atta was interested in crop dusters and one of the hijackers reported to a hospital with Anthrax lesions…where does that lead? Oh and I forgot we were shortly thereafter attacked using Anthrax. Where I am leading with this long article is this question.
Where would the anthrax come from? Where did the anthrax come from that was used to attack and kill US citizens? Why do we keep running into these sorts of coincidences, like the woman who helped Atta and company find rooms in Florida coincidently had a husband who was an executive who coincidently worked at the media company in Florida that was also attacked with Anthrax killing one employee. The Anthrax used was coincidently the same strain used to attack U.S. Senators Patrick Leahy and Tom Daschle. And coincidently Iraq was said to have offered to train Al Queda in the use and production of Chemical and biological weapons. Consider this bit of evidence provided by Dr. Mylroie “When Dr. Zawahari’ s home in Kabul was subsequently examined after the fall of the Taliban, it tested positive for anthrax. So al-Qaeda had the means as well as the intent of using anthrax.†Coincidently…
Course the story that Stephen Hatfill had a grudge that wouldn’t quit seems a whole bunch more plausible now that we review all the “coincidences†doesn’t it? And I love the bit where he mixed up this weapons grade anthrax in the pond next door. Anyone mention just how dysfunctional the FBI has to be to come up with that bit of nonsense?
Was the Commissions timeline used to put paid to entire parts of the narrative that made up the reality of 9/11? Atta’s visit to Prague didn’t happen because the timeline didn’t fit. The story regarding the attempt to rent a twin engine plane for crop dusting was brushed off because of the timeline. Is a timeline the newest way to put off the scent of failure with our government officials?
Tonight the Captain has an explosive story regarding the links between Iran and Al Queda.
