'MEGA FIX' PREVIEW: PART 5
TWA Flight 800: Attacked, destroyed, covered-up
Editor's note: In his extraordinary new DVD documentary, "Mega Fix," Emmy-award-winning filmmaker Jack Cashill traces the roots of Sept. 11 to the political exploitation of terror investigations by the Clinton White House in the desperate 1995-1996 election cycle. This 8-part series began in Oklahoma City and today moves to the coast of Long Island.
The "Mega Fix" DVD is available now at WorldNetDaily's online store.

On July 17, 1996 Liberation Day in Saddam's Iraq and two days before the Atlanta Olympics at least 270 people see streaking objects zigzagging off the horizon and culminating in the destruction of TWA Flight 800 off the south coast of Long Island.
At the time of the crash, Richard Clarke is serving as chairman of the Coordinating Security Group on terrorism. Within 30 minutes of the plane's crash, Clarke tells us, he convenes a meeting of the CSG in the White House situation room.
"The FAA," Clarke reports, is "at a total loss for an explanation. The flight path and the cockpit communications were normal. The aircraft climbed to 17,000 feet, then there was no aircraft."
In fact, the Federal Aviation Administration does have an explanation. Its radar operators in New York saw on their screens an unknown object "merging" with TWA 800 in the seconds before the crash and rushed the radar data to Washington. For reasons that will become clear later, Clarke also deceives the reader about the altitude of TWA 800. The last altitude the FAA actually recorded was about 13,700 feet. This is easily verified and beyond debate.
And remember the concept of planes as bombs, Ramzi Yousef and the Bojinka-related plot? President Clinton, in fact, reviews these plans in the summer of 1996, after TWA Flight 800 has been destroyed. U.S. Air Force Col. Buzz Patterson, who carried the "nuclear football" for the president, relates in his book, "Dereliction of Duty," that he was returning a daily intelligence update from the president's desk to the National Security Council when he notices the heading "Operation Bojinka." He keys on a reference to "a plot to use commercial airliners as weapons." As a pilot, he has a keen interest in the same.
Beyond doubt, Clinton is aware of the potential use of planes as bombs in the summer of 1996, but he does nothing about it. Patterson also tentatively identifies Deputy National Security Adviser and political consigliore Sandy Berger as the one person holed up on the night of July 17 with Clinton in the family quarters. No document could be more damaging to the Clinton legacy than Clinton's handwritten notes on Bojinka and related plans. Pilfering these might be worth the risk of getting caught.
August 1996
About four weeks after the crash, based on his own rough timeline, Richard Clarke visits the site of the TWA 800 investigation on Long Island. There he casually stops to talk to a technician, who shares with Clarke the astounding fact that, despite all evidence to the contrary, an exploding fuel tank destroyed TWA Flight 800.
That same day, Clarke tells us he returns to Washington and breathlessly shares his exploding fuel tank theory with Chief of Staff Leon Panetta and NSA Director Tony Lake, even sketching the 747 design.
"Does the NTSB agree with you?" Lake asks Clarke.
"Not yet," says Clarke. In one chance stroll through the hangar, the amateur Clarke discovers something the National Transportation Safety Board has not yet discovered itself.
Clarke then adds the telling comment: "We were all cautiously encouraged." They are "encouraged" because the political people do not want to face the consequences of terrorism. It could derail their cakewalk to re-election.
At this same time in the investigation, however, the FBI is ignoring the politics. Its agents are telling the New York Times that explosive residue has been found throughout the plane and especially along the right wing. Plus, the FBI's Washington lab has identified the residue as PETN, a component of either missiles or bombs. The same Times article calls the finding "a serious blow to the already remote possibility that a mechanical accident caused the crash."
Something has to give, and it's the FBI. On Aug. 22, future 9-11 commissioner Jamie Gorelick as the Clintons' deputy attorney general she was also field commander at Oklahoma City summons the FBI's Jim Kallstrom to Washington for a Come-to-Jesus meeting.
Kallstrom has been a good soldier the past five weeks. He's kept all talk of eyewitnesses and satellites and radar and missiles out of the news. But the evidence has led him to a terrorist scenario of some sort, and there's no easy way to turn back.
No account of the meeting provides any more than routine detail, but behaviors begin to change immediately, especially after the New York Times breaks a headline story the next day, top right, above the fold "Prime Evidence Found That Device Exploded in Cabin of Flight 800." This article steals the thunder from Clinton's election-driven approval of welfare reform in that same day's paper and threatens to undermine the whole peace and prosperity mantra of the Democratic convention just days away.
From this point on, the administration spends all its energies making Clarke's exploding fuel tank theory stick. When the FBI is forced to change its story, so does the New York Times. And America lets its guard down once more.

Al Qaeda has never publicly affirmed for the mass media that they committed 9/11. Clearly they did it, but they announced nothing after the attack.
BUMP!
Also note that the area was FULL of navy ships from various countries as their was a joint exercise occuring.
My personal theory is that it was a setup by the Clinton's. There were two targets on board the flight (see linked thread for details) one of which was supposed to be on Ron Browns flight but they missed him there.
There was a target drone launched to be behind the flight (see the radar tracks). If the flight's transponder was damaged (as reported by controllers) ordinance fired at the drone could have been inadvertantly targeted on the flight. Plane goes down and it looks like an accident. Clinton enemy dies and clintons go free again.
See the linked thread for rest of details. Including discussion of why the shooter didn't talk
Yes, though purely a coicidence, I'm sure. /so
Isn't it also 'curious' how Sandy "I stuff my pants" Berger, is the one who snagged documents from the archives and the only other person who might know exactly which document(s) would contain notes on flight TWA800? ....Just ever so curious....
Thank you for posting this. I've been following this story for a while. Its a shame that the truth won't ever make it beyond cyberland.
coicidence = coincidence.
grrr....must spell check.
That is close to my theory as well. The FBI and NTSB get orders from the top to cover up a horrible accident. No real investigation gets done.
Very imaginative.
Of course, the next problem with the missile theory is that a painstaking reconstruction of the wreckage clearly shows that the plane's metal was twisted outward from the main fuel tank area deep inside the plane and no evidence of an inward explosion on the outer skin was ever found. Next, no evidence of missile pieces or traces of missile explosive chemicals was ever detected, even in minute quantities. I'm afraid the missile theory for flight 800 is destined to become the "grassy knoll" of aircraft crashes for those bent on seeing conspiracies everywhere.
I read the link and it makes very little sense. And I speak as someone with over 20 years commissioned service, active duty and reserve, and who has served on DDGs and FFGs in the Atlantic Fleet.
You may be right. My knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the crash extends only to the witness accounts, the altitude of the plane when it exploded, and the target range of a typical hand-held surface to air missle.
You're assuming that the subs made a Iran-NYC direct trip. There's plenty of places along the way to stop for diesel. If they want to play it dangerously, most any ship could serve as a sub tender for at sea refueling.
On the other hand, several significant items of wreckage were "never located" and not included in the reconstruction. The FBI admitted that there was a back room, to which they would take some items, and those weren't even recorded as found on the NTSB database. Additionally, items like seats from the first class cabin, and the nose gear doors were among the first items to come off the plane and the first to fall into the ocean. The explanation for these facts by the NTSB is strained, at best: a beam transferred the force of the explosion up to the front of the plane, which is why those things came off before things surrounding the exploding tank. Still further, NTSB workers were caught reassigning the location where some of the seats were found, "otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to explain their location to Mr. Hall."
There's a lot more than one scratchy audio tape's worth of evidence in this particular grassy knoll scenario.
Where?
This is a good a guess as any.
You implied that a Kilo would not be able to make the trip. I was only suggesting that stopping along the way from Iran to NYC was a possibility and not providing the course they followed.
Let me rephrase my question. Where could they stop and refuel without being seen? An Iranian sub in the Indian Ocean or Atlantic Ocean might be cause for comment.
You're right. The worker bee ONI people would be quite interested in what the Iranians once they were spotted; however, the world's a big place.
If found the question devolves into, would the higher pay grades give any special review to a darker blob along side a dark blob on a satellite photo of the middle of the ocean when the party line is the biggest threat to the world is conservative talk radio?
Yeah, you're right. It's all a Clinton plot. Their nefarious tentacles extend so far into the fabric of our society that it will be generations before we can free ourselves of the shackles and exorcise their evil, godless influence from our midst. Or something like that.
Thanks for the ping!!
Gotta get myself this DVD!!!
