Those of us who were around when President Kennedy was assassinated remember
where we were and what we were doing when we first heard the news. Everyone was
glued to radios and TV sets, listening to the newscasts and the editorials. I recall a doctor at Parkland Hospital stating that Kennedy had been shot in the throat, from the front, and a newscaster (I believe it was Dan Rather) saying the same thing but shortly after,  recanting this statement. And for a time, these facts, and many others, were not again  published.
 
So, people accepted what they were told by the media because it was their sole source of  information. That it was Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, that fired the shots from a  mail order rifle that ended the life of the President. As was the conclusion of  the Warren  Commission.
 
There was no public Internet access then and it was some time before what have been
called the
"Conspiracy of the Month Club" people * started to disprove the Warren
Commission report. The facts were revealed and eventually a majority of Americans
became convinced that it was not Oswald as the lone assassin that murdered the
President.
 
The reaction  to the 9-11 attack was, initially, much the same. The American public
believed that Osama bin Laden was responsible as evidenced by the subsequent attacks  on Arab people. And even though about half of the people in the United States had  Internet access in 2001, the majority still logged on to sites that publish the same stories  as television and newspapers. Yahoo News, and etc.; government controlled media. The  same lies and half-truths.
 
But it wasn't long until the facts became known on alternative web sites such as What
Really Happened, and over the months that followed, a great many people came to
realize that they had been lied to. That, for example, as the FBI admitted, they don't have  any evidence that the attack was planned and carried out by Islamic terrorists. Or that,  with some of the alleged terrorists found to be alive and well, that they have no idea  specifically who was aboard the four hijacked airliners.
 
We the public will never know the whole truth about 9-11any more than we will ever
know who actually fired the fatal shots at Dallas in November 1963. But we do know that  virtually everything the US government, particularly President Bush, has stated about the  attack has been a pack of lies. The passport that by some miracle survived intact, the  rented cars conveniently left behind by the terrorists, failure by the military to intercept  three of the airliners, and the list goes on and on.
  
And The Media Continues the Lies.
For example, a made for TV movie that aired yesterday, elaborated on how the fire from  the jet fuel caused the collapse of both towers. Yet transcripts from the NY fire
department radio transmissions indicate that there were only a few residual fires that
were quickly extinguished. That virtually all of the kerosene jet fuel exploded on impact.
That kerosene doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel and that the black smoke was the
result of incomplete combustion. Hot fires, with sufficient oxygen to burn at high
temperatures do not normally produce much smoke. And they made no mention of the
explosions heard by many of the people in the tower, including firefighters, and seen
from outside (and captured on film) just as the tower collapsed.
 
So what have we learned from all this, from the countless thousands of pages of
information, from the hundreds of unanswered questions as can be found on the
alternative Internet?
 
That we have been lied to, yes, and that there is no way the American people can prevent  the next attack, which many of us believe is inevitable, and that when it comes, not only   will the government will do nothing to prevent it- the White House may well have  orchestrated it.
 
But maybe, We The People, can predict it. Read on...
 
What kind of attack might it be?
The destruction of the World Trade Center is a hard act to follow. The next attack will
have to be even more spectacular and the loss of life greater, perhaps in the tens or even  hundreds of thousands.  It will have to demonstrate a "Clear and Present Danger" not just  to New York City, but the entire country. And once again, people will gladly sacrifice  their freedom in exchange for protection from an enemy created by groups of evil men  and women in Washington and Tel Aviv.
 
More hijacked airliners used as instruments of destruction? Perhaps.
Or, a single plane crashing into a nuclear power generating station has the necessary
ingredients- smoke, flames, and radioactive poisoning of the immediate area causing
massive numbers of deaths.
 
More likely is a combination of attacks
Cargo ships that destroy the Oakland Bay and Golden Gate bridges in San Francisco. At  the same time destruction of a large chemical plant that produces dioxin like Dow
Chemical or perhaps a large refinery? Meanwhile, timed just right, more conventional
explosives could cripple the major freeway interchange in Los Angeles, creating the
worst traffic jam in history and leaving the entire area with empty supermarket shelves,
rioting such as the country has never seen, the streets covered with garbage and taken  over by rats. Add destruction of the Lincoln and Holland tunnels and bridges to
Manhattan and several critical ports on the Mississippi river along with blowing up
several major Internet switching centers, Mae East and Mae West, and the entire country  would be in total chaos and emergency services would be helpless to deal with it.
 
The result could be Condition Red. Declaration of martial law, suspension of the
November Presidential election and (what little is left of) the Constitution. Military
personnel patrolling the streets of major cities, curfews, cessation of all social welfare
programs, and possibly incarceration of hundreds of thousands of Americans in the
concentration camps that FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management people are
reported to have ready and waiting. 
"Nacht un Nebel."
 
Predicting the Next Attack
There are a number of things that people can do, working independently or in groups but  sharing their information through the Internet, on sites such as What Really Happened  and Yellow Times, that could possibly determine the locations and approximate times of  the attacks. (And, in the aftermath, the data could be used to expose more government  lies).
 
There are computer programs that track, through the Internet, commercial flights. If
enough people use them in their own areas and record the details, there will be
documented evidence of exactly when (if) a flight deviates from its route or the
transponder stops transmitting. This could indicate a hijacked airliner. In addition to
these Internet applications, commercial flights can be tracked using scanning radios that  interface to computers.
 
Scanners and communications receivers that can be computer controlled include most
current models, and can be set to automatically record all traffic, emergency services,
military, federal agencies and aircraft transmissions, in digital format (WAV files) and
stored on the disk drive. Incidentally, if someone had done this on the NY Fire
Department frequencies on 911, the public might have known the truth about the fires in  the two towers.
 
Look for increased activity at military bases in your area, especially the Air Force, both  visually and by monitoring known military radio channels. It is now apparent that the  morning of September the eleventh, there were military exercises, simulated hijackings  for the military to practice dealing with.
 
A sudden dramatic increase in radio traffic on federal agencies radio channels is a
possible warning that something is about to happen. Now, of course, they will be using
encryption for sensitive messages, but you will still hear the hissing sounds and
occasional unencrypted transmissions. And if you know their repeater input frequencies  and can hear them, encrypted or in the clear, it means they are very close to where you  are monitoring.
 
There has been an increased use of explosive sniffing dogs in metro areas. If this were to suddenly cease in one or more buildings, as allegedly happened in New York, that would  be a warning signal.
 
Tall buildings have floors that are used only for maintenance, such as the banks of
elevators that serve only certain floors and where the motors are located. These areas are  restricted to authorized service personnel. People who work in these buildings could  make themselves familiar with those people and be alert to new people in and out. Cell  phones with cameras could be used to keep records of those known to be permitted in  these locations.
 
Sudden changes in the private security companies in large buildings or nuclear power
plants, major electrical distribution stations and other possible terrorist targets is a
possible warning sign.
 
New policies in any area, building or nuclear power facility or whatever that suddenly
enact policies that prohibit the possession of cameras and cell phone cameras.
 
The Israel Connection.
A few months before 9-11, WTC lease holder Larry Silverstein purchased insurance
specifically against a terrorist attack. According to an article linked to on What Really
  Happened, the two towers were very expensive to heat and cool, were losing money, and  eventually would have had to undergo asbestos insulation removal at a cost of hundreds  of millions of dollars. Silverstein is an Israel citizen.
 
Zims, one of the world's largest container shipping companies, suddenly vacated their
offices in the World Trade Center and moved to New Jersey just days before 9-11. Zims  is an Israel corporation
 
An Internet messaging service is supposed to have alerted employees of an Israel based  company, and as the article states, none of the employees were in the World Trade Center  at the time of the attack.
 
Considering the news stories (some of which were on the mainstream media) about the  moving van in the South-East near a military nuclear facility which tried to escape the  Sheriff's pursuit car, and the suspicious van stopped by police in the South-West, both of  which were driven by Israeli nationals believed to be Mossad agents, keeping an eye out  for such vehicles anywhere near potential terrorist targets and photographing the vehicle  and license plates
 
If these stories are true, and given the extensive spying in America conducted by Mossad,  they probably are, then the Israeli government knew well in advance of the attack. Ergo,  the same thing will happen previous to an imminent attack in a building where there are  Israel based businesses. If people who have access to records of these Israel based  companies make their locations available on the Internet, they can be watched for  suspicious activity; suddenly vacating the premises or employees not showing up for  work, showing that they were warned.
 
But be aware that engaging in any of these activities should be done with the greatest
possible discretion as they may be considered terrorist acts and could get you arrested  and held indefinitely without due process of law. People have been strongly discouraged  from taking photographs of what the government maintains are probable targets for  terrorists, for example, the signs on the Golden Gate bridge.
Perhaps this is the powers that be trying to protect We The People. But on the other hand,  maybe it is because they - the United States government are the real terrorists.
