And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
September 10, 2001: US Generals Warned Not to Fly on Morning of 9/11
According to a Newsweek report on September 13, “[t]he state of alert had been high during the past two weeks, and a particularly urgent warning may have been received the night before the attacks, causing some top Pentagon brass to cancel a trip. Why that same information was not available to the 266 people who died aboard the four hijacked commercial aircraft may become a hot topic on the Hill.” [NEWSWEEK, 9/13/2001] Far from becoming a hot topic, the only additional media mention of this story will be in the next issue of Newsweek: “a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns.” [NEWSWEEK, 9/24/2001] Timeline Tags: 9/11 Timeline
I was on a flight from Dallas to Orlando as all of this went down. When we landed in Orlando you could tell the pilot was in a hurry to get the plane on the ground. I was the last passenger off the plane and you could see the relief in his eyes. I walked up the gang plank to TV cameras. I asked a coworker that I was on the flight with and got filled in. I called home to a panic stricken wife.
I forgot where I saw it, but yesterday 9/11 there was a picture of a man who had jumped. His guts were spilled literally all over the sidewalk. Not like the movies.
People need to return to reality. Most people are not good. They are greedy and evil and want to control anybody weaker than they are. It makes them feel superior.
It was a hand full of Saudis.
