Someone has finally talked!
By Reed Irvine
© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com
Those who accept the government's claim that the crash of TWA Flight 800 was caused by a fuel-tank explosion dismiss the evidence that the plane was shot down accidentally by missiles launched in a Navy exercise off the Long Island coast. They say that such an accident could not have been covered up because a lot of Navy personnel would have known about it, and some of them would have talked.
One of them has finally done so. He recently said in an interview that I recorded that he was on the deck of a Navy submarine very close to the crash site and saw TWA 800 shot down.
He was brought to my attention by an acquaintance of his who told me that this retired Navy petty officer had said he was "underneath TWA 800 when he saw a missile hit it and the 747 explode overhead." He had told this acquaintance that he had given a statement to the FBI when they returned to their port, and that the FBI had checked all their torpedo tubes and all their missile silos to make sure they had all the missiles on board that they had when they left port. Asked if there were other military vessels in the area, he had said, "Yes, several."
When Pierre Salinger, at a press conference in March 1997, declared that TWA Flight 800 had been shot down accidentally by a U.S. Navy missile, this former presidential press secretary, U.S. Senator and ABC News correspondent, was mercilessly attacked by his former colleagues. They accused him of peddling unsubstantiated Internet gossip. Salinger said that his information had been confirmed by a source who learned of the Navy's involvement from a friend who had a son in the Navy. The son was said to have personal knowledge that a Navy missile had downed the plane, but his father did not want to be identified, fearing his son would suffer retaliation for disclosing information the Navy was hiding.
There are hundreds of Navy and Coast Guard personnel, as well as some FBI, CIA, FAA, NTSB and former White House employees who know that the real cause of the crash of TWA 800 was papered over with a tissue of lies. Two of them, James Kallstrom and George Stephanopoulos, have made statements that indicate an official cover-up. Stephanopoulos, a Clinton adviser who is now an ABC News correspondent, mentioned on the air a secret meeting in the White House situation room "in the aftermath of the TWA 800 bombing." Kallstrom, who headed the FBI's TWA 800 investigation, told me – and I have this on tape – that three radar targets close to the crash site were Navy vessels on a classified maneuver. We know they were submarines because the radar tracks disappeared when TWA 800 crashed.
Our newly found talker was on one of those submarines. The Navy claims that it was at least 80 miles from the crash site, but he says it was very close, and that is confirmed by the radar tracks. In our taped interview, he was more guarded than he had been with his acquaintance. He said he didn't want to do anything that might "mess up" his retirement.
He said he saw "something come up." "I don't know what in the hell it was," he said, "but that's what it looked ..." Not completing what he started to say, he said, "You know, something went up." He estimated that it went up about a mile from his location, which was only a few miles from the shore. He said there were a couple of other subs nearby. When told that the radar tracks of all three disappeared because they submerged when the plane went down, he said, "Yeah, that's what we did."
He acknowledged that a number of Navy vessels were heading for W-105, a large area of the ocean south of Long Island that is used for naval maneuvers. He said that nothing they did off Long Island was classified, but he was not comfortable in discussing it.
When I called him a few days later, he was scared to death. He feared the Navy would withdraw his pension if I reported what he had said. It was not possible to convince him that the Navy couldn't do that. Not wanting to worsen his anxiety, his name and other details are being withheld as we try to get his and other interview reports that the FBI has withheld.

Untrue. My argument is based on many FACTS that strongly suggest a murder and a subsequent coverup. I mentioned "some" of those facts in my post to you. Now you can either dispute the facts or accept them, but don't try to just AVOID discussing them.
In addition, military officers would have to dishonor themselves and coverup a mass murder in order to protect Clinton for your conspiracy theory to work.
First of all, military officers are the ones who blew the whistle ... the ones accusing other military officers of tampering with evidence and ignoring facts that suggest Brown was shot. We already know that the military officers who were accused of tampering with the evidence have LIED to the public about the facts in this case. That is PROVEN.
Are you so naive as to think that high level members of the military, like members of the JCS and those in command of certain operations (like the Accident Investigation Board members and management of AFIP), are not political animals ... that they would not do the bidding of superior officers and Clinton? Sorry, but UNLESS you can explain the views of the pathologists and the x-ray/photo evidence (which, according to EVERY forensic pathologist that has made a statement about them, show clear signs of a bullet wound), you are running from the facts. Unless you can explain all the other incriminating material in the case you are ignoring the obvious. Then YOUR motives become questionable.
I don't mind you disagreeing with me as long as you are willing to discuss the actual facts that are known. I could be convinced they aren't true or don't suggest what is alleged. I do mind those who won't discuss those facts but, instead, simply TRUST in an administration (Clinton's) that we all KNOW committed just about every crime you can name ... including ABUSE of the military. I do mind those who TRUST the military so much that they can't even conceive of the possibility that there are dishonorable people in the military. There are ... just like in EVERY other institution known to man.
Here's a site I found at random,. google search

The Clinton Body-Count
The following is a partial list of a large number of persons who have
recently met their demise in suspicious circumstances who appear to have
some connection to the Clintons. I stress partial because new addditions are
coming in faster than closets can be found to hide the bodies in!
Mary Mahoney
White House Intern
died 7/97
An attractive 25 year old woman, Mary was a former White House Intern for
Bill Clinton working as the Assistant Manager at a Starbuck's Coffee shop
in Georgetown. In the pre-trial publicity surrounding Paula Jones lawsuit, and
mere days after Newsweek's Mike Isikoff had dropped hints that a "former White
House staffer" was about to go public with her story of sexual harassement at
1600 Pennsylvania, gunmen entered the Starbuck's while the crew was cleaning up
after closing. Mary's two associates were taken to a room and shot. Mary
herself had five bullets in her. No money was taken. As of this writing, Mike
Isikoff's "former White House staffer" has never appeared.
Vincent Foster
White House Counsel
died: 7/21/93 - Found dead in Ft. Marcy Park in Washington, DC, of a
supposed suicide by gunshot. A suicide note was supposedly found a fews
days later, torn into several pieces, in his briefcase, after his office
had been entered by WhiteHouse staff and materials removed. The gun which
he supposedly used to kill himself was reported to be still in his hand,
but the person who first found the body reports that there was no gun at
that time. Many irregularities surround the death and the investigation of it.
- Foster was also from Hope, Ark., like Clinton, and also worked for the Rose
Law firm. Foster had intimate knowledge of the Clintons' personal finances.
Foster was involved in an investigation of their finances, and reportedly made
a phone call to Hillary Clinton, in Little Rock, just hours before his death.

Kevin Ives & Don Henry
Initial cause of death was reported to be the result of falling asleep on a
railroad track in Arkansas on August 23, 1987. This ruling was reported by the
State medical examiner Fahmy Malak. Later it was determined that Kevin died
from a crushed skull prior to being placed on the tracks. Don had been stabbed

Jeff Rhodes
He had information on the deaths of Ives, Henry & McKaskle. His burned body was
found in a trash dump in April 1989. He died of a gunshot wound to the head and
there was some body mutilation, leading to the probably speculation that he was
tortured prior to being killed.
James Milam
Milam had information on the Ives & Henry deaths. He was decapitated. The
state Medical examiner, Fahmy Malak, initially ruled death due to natural
causes.
Richard Winters
Winters was a suspect in the deaths of Ives & Henry. He was killed in a

Sadly, the list goes on......
There's more out there, these are enough to make a point. and how about them "missing' FBI files? WHOOPS! found em laying around the ole office here in the whitehouse, no idea they were here......Geez tons of stuff, free republic must have gigs of material on this subject back in the filez...
blackmail, bribery, threats and worse--all used to get people to do what you want them to do, tried and true tactics....
WRONG. Several high ranking military officers ... MAJORS, COLONELS and CAPTAINS ... have ALREADY come forward to contradict the official story. Some have even made SWORN STATEMENTS alleging that others in the military tampered with evidence to hide what appears to be a MURDER. I suggest you go to the www.newsmax.com site and read the articles by Christopher Ruddy before commenting further because you clearly don't know the facts in the case.
However, most of the men and women in these two institutions are honorable and would have no reason to protect Clinton.
Most are honorable but MOST do not know any more about the facts in the case than you apparently do. They are no better informed than most civilians since they get their news from the same biased media sources and same BOGUS crash investigation report and Air Force press releases.
Second, they DO have reason to keep quiet. All they have to do is look at what the military leadership under Clinton did to the majors, colonels and other whistleblowers who did come forward. THEY DESTROYED THEIR CAREERS AND EVEN THREATENED THEM WITH JAIL. And if you don't believe this, then go read the interviews with the Captain Janowski, the military photographer who took the pictures of the x-rays at the examination that have caused so much consternation.
Fine ... but I began this conversation with you by pointing out that large scale coverups CAN occur with military, Whitehouse and NTSB involvement. You haven't shown ANYTHING to suggest that didn't happen in the Brown case ... which weakens your argument that it couldn't happen period.
By the way, I respect www.newsmax.com just as much as I respect WorldNetDaily.com. Absolutely zero -- the National Enquirer of conservatism.
Sure ... make an unfounded smear as your argument like democRATS usually do. If you can point out ANYTHING untrue in the articles posted on Newsmax.com regarding Ron Brown's death then DO SO ... otherwise you are just AVOIDING the facts ... another characteristic of democRATS.
While you are at it why you tell us what news sources you rely on to find the facts?
And all the men on the ship that allegedly fired the missile that downed TWA Flight 800. What about their honor that you appear so willing to deny?
I'm not saying anything specific about TWA800 although there are a lot of aspects of the official version of events that do not jibe with the facts. I am simply pointing out that your argument that it couldn't be a coverup because a bunch of military officers, government officials and NTSB people would have to be involved is not necessarily valid. The FACTS in the Brown case prove that.
Doesn't sound like you respect the military if you think they would condone mass murder to save their careers.
Don't try that with me. I respect the military. YOU are the one IGNORING the many MILITARY OFFICERS who came forward in the Brown case to point out that something was fishy. YOU are the one DISHONORING those individuals. YOU are the one who wishes to PRETEND that there can't be bad apples in high positions who WOULD condone mass murder if ORDERED to by the President of the United States. YOU are the one IGNORING the lessons of history. YOU are the one trying to DEFEND the likes of Bill Clinton.
I have.
Oh, I forgot. The Air Force was part of the coverup.
Well explain this. Why was this the first crash in Air Force HISTORY (except for one friendly fire shoot down in Iraq where the cause was immediately obvious) to SKIP the Safety Board part of the normal Air Force investigation. Instead they just held an Accident Investigation Board. You do realize, don't you, that the Safety Board is the part of the crash investigation process SPECIFICALLY charged with "FINDING THE CAUSE" of the crash. The Accident Investigation Report (that you refer to) is meant to provide a document for use in any legal actions that follow.
So tell me why your report doesn't even mention the FACT that pathologists at the examination of Brown's body said the wound looked like a bullet wound and called for an autopsy (which, by the way, was refused on orders from the Whitehouse and JCS)? Hummm? Don't you think the families of the victims and their lawyers would have wanted to know that?
Why doesn't that report even MENTION the existance of x-rays that suggest a lead snowstorm (according EVERY pathologist that has made a statement about them). A lead snowstorm is indicative of a bullet wound. You don't suppose the families and their lawyers would have wanted to know that?
And I could go on and on listing FACTS that your BOGUS report doesn't even mention which lawyers would definitely want to know. Why is it that the families of the victims had to learn about these facts YEARS after the crash when the whistleblowers whose careers the Air Force RUINED made those FACTS known?
Can you say Y2K? I know you could.
I have no clue what you are referring to so I'll ask you again to specifically point out any errors, misrepresentations or lies in the reports by Ruddy on the Brown case. If you can't do it then your smear against Newsmax is GROUNDLESS as far as this case is concerned. You do realize that everything in Ruddy's articles has been cooberated in interviews by others with some of the principles (like Captain Janowski)?
Your facts conflict with the Air Force report.
NO. The Air Force Report conveniently doesn't mention the facts. FACT: I can name SIX pathologists involved in the Brown case or who have looked at the x-rays and photos since who say the wound looked like a bullet wound and Brown should have been autopsied. You won't be able to name ANY except Dickerson, head of AFIP, who I can prove LIED about the nature of the wound and the opinions of his staff (the pathologists). Even the pathologist who was in charge of the examination and is quoted in the report (Gormley) has now admitted that what he stated in the report was INCORRECT and that Brown should have been autopsied. And I could name many other facts that just conveniently were never mentioned in that report. Tell me, does that report explain the loss of transponder and radio contact when the plane was still 8 miles from the crash site? Well does it?
When did I defend Clinton or dishonor a single military officer?
Well you are in essence saying that Colonel Cogswell, Captain Janowski and several other military officers at AFIP are LIARS and that it was ok for the Air Force leadership to destroy their careers rather than simply show them that they are wrong about the facts they have alleged. And in doing that you ARE defending Clinton.
Hmmmm, I didn't know submarines had surface to air missles. Aside from that, If anyone on a sub saw a plane crash into the sea, the sub would have stayed on the surface to enhance their speed to the crash site.
If there is one thing I'm sure of it is that no sailor would leave anyone in peril on the sea, friendly or enemy, orders or not. That is as it should be.
A governments credibily is built up over time, and trust is earned.
Reread the report. It does not say a submarine fired a missile.
