About Mega Fix: In this stunning, surprisingly entertaining, 90-minute DVD video documentary, Emmy-award-winning filmmaker Jack Cashill traces the roots of Sept. 11 to the perfect storm of disinformation that surrounded the Clintons' desperate drive for the White House in the years 1995-1996.
Rocket from Redondo Beach?
Since most of this information can be checked, it is presumably true. And it completely contradicts what the FBI says.
It's pretty much what the threads here in FR were saying, but with solid additional evidence.
I think it's time some enterprising reporter asks President Bush why he is letting the FBI repeatedly cover up terrorist attacks. Precisely what is being gained by doing that? Clinton did it because he was partly responsible, and because he didn't want to get involved with dealing with terrorists.
What is Bush's excuse for letting the FBI continue to lie and obfuscate? Why has he done nothing to clean up the mess in the FBI he inherited from clinton?
'Venus was at its peak brilliance last night. They probably thought they saw something up in the sky other than Venus, but I assure you, it was Venus.'
Oh, boy. So now the current admin is going to continue the trend of covering up missile attacks? OTOH, perhaps in the overall strategery of the WOT there is some sort of justification for concealment. Kind of like the Japanese balloon bombs in WWII?
Is this the LAX Airport Monitor they're talking about? Cool site!
Can the recorded radar also show the trail of flight 800 in July 1996?
Are you having any luck finding AAL612 on the LAX radar? I can't bring it up.

Let me help some of you out here. The "radar" tracks you are seeing are NOT raw radar data. The monitoring system you are using relies on active transponders in each aircraft to generate its radar "picture". In other words, if the aircraft doesn't have a transponder, the radar doesn't see it. The system is called PASSUR. That is an acronym for "Passive Secondary Surveillance Radar". "Passive" means that the "radar" is a receiver only. "Secondary" is a radio signal sent by IFF transponders on board any aircraft flying through a major airport's airspace. The PASSUR "radar" can only read radio signals sent to it. Those signals come from the transponders onboard the aircraft flying through the airspace it monitors. Now here is the key part...missiles do not use IFF transponders. Therefore, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for this system to see a missile. So why would Cashill and WND publish an article like this? Because they are both frauds that make money by pulling the wool over the eyes of people who don't know any better. Cashill is a conman, pure and simple.
If you'd like additional explaination start by reading the "Help" page offered by the monitoring site. You will find the following....
"Aircraft tracking radar, and the software that supports it, while highly reliable, is also complex. Sometimes circumstances can interfere with the signal, causing temporary distortions. For example, you will probably notice that an aircraft flying directly over YOUR AIRPORT may temporarily disappear from the screen and then reappear away from the airport. This is due to the aircraft passing directly over the radar antenna and the temporary loss of signal. You may also notice aircraft icons sometimes “dropping off” and/or suddenly doing unusual things. This is especially true in the area immediately around YOUR AIRPORT, but could also occur away from the airport as well. These “ghost” aircraft are due to radar reflections from the high-rise buildings around the airport, and possibly from terrain and meteorological conditions farther away from YOUR AIRPORT."
Nice post.

Jerry Doyle has a guest coming up right now to talk about it.
A good read for everyone.

I miss Jack on the air on Kansas City radio. He was always terrific, even when they had him paired up with some leftist ninneys.

I heard Jack Cashell discuss this on Barabaras Simpson's show on KSFO last weekend. He stated he was initially directed to this incident by inquiries from some Freepers.

You don't need a tinfoil hat to understand what Lahr is getting at. Another Naval maneuver almost gone bad? Almost as bad as TWA 800?
Those people aboard AA 612 don't know how lucky they are.
