2/6/02 8:31:47 PM ** TOP_VIEW ** The Big Picture 12.20.01 ASK BUSH: WHY was air defense shut down on 9.11 AFTER receiving ATC alerts ** DOZENS of air bases within MINUTES of BOTH 9.11 targets! There is irrefutable evidence which proves total complicity on the part of traitors at the highest level of the executive branch -- along with numerous accomplices and co-conspirators in the military, intelligence and administrative sectors -- in the September 11 atrocities perpetrated against the American people Here's the deal. It is a FACT that DOZENS of Air Force and Air National Guard bases are located within TEN to THIRTY minutes intercept time of BOTH 9.11 target locations. It is a FACT that most of these installations have at the ready fighter jets such as F-16s to be scrambled on a MOMENT's NOTICE, for intercepting troubled or problem aircraft. It is a FACT that air defense units DID receive alerts from Air Traffic Controllers and non-corrupt FAA officials on a number of aircraft across the East Coast which had broken communications and deviated radically from established flight paths on the morning of September 11. It is a FACT that standard intercept procedures for dealing with these kinds of situations ARE TOTALLY ESTABLISHED, IN FORCE and ON- LINE in these United States 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. << Regarding rules governing IFR requirements, see FAA Order 7400.2E 'Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters,' Effective Date: December 7, 2000 (Includes Change 1, effective July 7, 2001), Chapter 14-1-2.
