TWA 800: 25 Years of Deep State Deception
American Thinker.com ^ | July 14, 2021 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 07/14/2021 3:11:38 AM PDT by Kaslin

On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Paris-bound 747 out of JFK, blew up off the coast of Long Island. It seemed somehow fitting that James Kallstrom, the public face of the FBI investigation into the plane's destruction, would die two weeks before the 25th anniversary. As a patriot, a Vietnam vet, and an outspoken critic of all things Clinton, Kallstrom once held promise as the insider most likely to come clean. He never did.

As to my own involvement with this story, until the evening of February 23, 2000, I was as naïve as a CNN anchor. Before that evening, I would have dismissed out of hand anyone who dared suggest that elements of the FBI and CIA would conspire with the White House and the New York Times to cover-up the cause of so public a disaster.

February 23, 2000 was the night my education began.

Earlier that evening I had listened with some interest at a Kansas City country club as investigative reporter James Sanders spoke about his inquiry into the 747's fate. At a dinner afterwards, I found myself sitting next to James's wife, Elizabeth. A sweet and soft-spoken woman of Philippine descent, she filled me in on the personal details. At the time of the disaster, she was a trainer for TWA. She had been a flight attendant for some years before that.

Of the 230 people killed on that ill-fated flight, 53 were TWA employees, many of them Elizabeth's friends. At one of the numerous memorial services, Elizabeth introduced James to Terry Stacey, a 747 manager and pilot who was working on the investigation.

Who did the missile belong to?......You seem very sure of your statement

The missile was fired by Iranians. And I am very sure of this because I got it from a credible source.

Who on that flight did they want to get rid of?

They didn't care. They weren't targeting any specific person or persons. They simply wanted revenge for the shooting down of Iran air flight 655.

OK. I’ll file that story as one of many remote possibilities about what happened. But please forgive me for having a high degree of skepticism about that one. “I know someone who was directly involved in the investigation” — from an anonymous internet poster — is about as B.S. as it gets.

The night this happened, James Kallstrom was interviewed on national news and said,”If the public only knew what happened here”. He caught himself and ended the interview.

What happened was that former Iranian Republican Guard soldiers were hired by a wealthy Iranian family to shoot down an American airliner in retaliation for the shooting down of Iran air flight 655 by the USS Vincennes.

Had they reported the truth, the American public would have demanded the US go to war with Iran, and that stupid lying bitch of a president Bill Clinton was terrified of being put into a position of attacking Iran. He ordered a coverup.

And I am not making this up. I have a contact in a position to know the truth, and this contact specifically said that Bill Clinton ordered a deliberate coverup of this event to prevent a war with Iran.

My contact also said the Iranian government disavowed all involvement in the incident and asserted it was rogue elements that launched the attack.

Very interesting.

So what was the point of covering it up?

The integrity of the Navy was much higher 25 years ago. That integrity would have sailors coming forward to speak out. Today? Not so much. I am convinced a terrorist source lauched a missile from a ship stealthing the Naval exercise going on that night. Which countries were the ones supporting terorism back then? Khadafi comes to mind and Sadam. The degenerate clinton didn’t want to deal with terroist and have that be the hallmark of his deceit filled time in office.

Believe whatever you like. I would like it if my contact would talk, but my contact would get in very serious trouble if my contact talked.

My contact still occupies a high level position.

But I completely believe what my contact has told me. You may believe whatever it is that makes you feel good.

I didn’t say I believe or don’t believe anything.

From your description, it sounds like your contact is either Sidney Powell or Lin Wood. :-P

So what was the point of covering it up? The main thing was to prevent going to war with Iran, and especially because the Europeans buy a lot of oil from Iran, and they would have vehemently opposed any effort by the US to attack Iran.

Clinton was heading towards the election, and he absolutely did not want to touch this. Ordering a coverup was the snake way out, and that's exactly what the corrupt bastard did.

Over 200 eyewitnesses plus the radar track I watched on TV.

I stand corrected. You know how the aircraft window system is manufactured. I don’t understand the lack of vacuum which is much better than gas (air) insulation under normal (cabin) pressure.

I judged by what I know of Andersen windows, two panes and vacuum in-between. I thought more temperature/pressure requirements for an aircraft.

This makes a lot of sense.

For one thing George Steponallofus who I think was inside the administration at tge time once slipped up and called it “terrorism”.

Of course there were all the eye witness reports.

Then there were the “optics” of how the feds swooped in immediately and worked secretly all the while spinning their tales to the press before coming up with the center fuel tank story.

And has many have said if it had been the US navy someone would have blown the whistle.

So many people have so much blood on their hands.

There’s going to be a lot of regrets come Judgment Day.

There was something better than that. It was real, hard evidence, but I have been told it was intentionally destroyed per explicit orders from the President. (Bill Clinton.)

I’m anything but naive... I’m a realist not an everything is a conspiracy idiot not to mention I’ve been there done that in more places than most people.

What does Christopher Sign have to do with TWA 800? Absolutely nothing and comparing the two only shows who’s really naive.

I very much doubt there is vacuum in-between two window panes unless they are very small. At 15 pounds per square inch, a window would shatter unless it's very thick, or very small.

I would think they would use nitrogen or something.

We admitted we shot down Iran air 655. I think we would have admitted if we had accidentally shot down one of our own. The one thing we would not ever admit, unless we wanted a war, was that a foreign power did it.

Coverup or war with Iran. Those were the choices at the time.

Looks like you learned more from that Smithsonian “Air
Disasters” show than you let on.

I’m still going with even disbursal from an explosion in the
center fuel tank.

It blew the cockpit off the plane.

That doesn’t sound like an explosion whose force favored
one side or the other because of a ‘weakest seam’ scenario.

Location of the supposed shoot was outside the W-area.

I guess this means you do agree that there was a NOTAM activating W-105 that evening.

Only the people who suspect that this was a targeted Clinton shootdown think this was done on purpose. I am not among them. It was an accident. The Navy had lots of assets in the area. A few miles one way or the other is meaningless.
