Reply #34: Sending loyal troops far away on "drills" is part of how theCIA rigs COUPS [View All]

in the third world. Send the loyal troops far away on "drills", move your hand-picked units into the capital to do the dirty work & install the dictator.

In this case -- presumably -- the bulk of the USAF was tied up in drills so bin Laden's hijackers could do their dirty work on the WTC and the Pentagon.

It's very possible. And it's right out of the CIA/BFEE playbook. As is changing procedures to hinder any effective response (e.g. require any response to go thru a bureaucrat -- like Rumsfeld -- then make sure the bureaucrat is 'unavailable').


For more information on the mechanics of coups, see Edward Luttwak's excellent book 'Coup d'Etat'. Much of the information is directly applicable to 9/11; in a coup, the CIA disables the bulk of the target country's military, while their relatively small force targets the presidential palace; in LIHOP/MIHOP, the BFEE presumably took steps to disable the bulk of the relevant military so a relatively small strike force could target the WTC and Pentagon.


Finally, if the 4th plane that went down in PA had wiped out Congress, Bu$h would be absolute dictator today. If Congress was indeed the target (as many media reports have suggested), 9/11 was a failed coup; the WTC and Pentagon being distractions while Congress was the principal target; a strike at Congress alone -- with Bu$h-the-unelected as beneficiary would have aroused far-too-much public suspicion, anger, and resistance. But wiping out Congress as one-of-many terror strikes would have probably been accepted...

I wonder if the likes of Tom DeLay will ever figure out that backing Bu$h is dangerous to their health?
