Former Vietnam Combat and Commercial Pilot Is a Firm Believer that 9/11 Was an Inside Government Job.
from an article by By Greg Szymanski on lewisnews.com
Russ Wittenberg, having been a former fighter pilot who flew over 100 combat missions in Vietnam and who sat for 35 years in the cockpit for Pan Am and United, immediately thought that 9/11 was an inside job and that the 'big boys' were up to the same dirty tricks they played in the Kennedy assassination and Pearl Harbor.
Now, almost four years later, Wittenberg said that the country he loved and fought so bravely 40 years ago has fallen in the deep, dark and sinister hands of fascist leaders who are quickly turning America into a military state. However, especially in the last six months, he said more Americans are waking up to the cold reality that the U.S. government staged 9/11, started an illegal war in Iraq and basically is criminally responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of innocent lives here and abroad. Whitenberg said Americans need to "wake up and wake up fast."
He said that 9/11 was the lynch pin for the Bush administration's neo con 'neat little contrived war package' needed to usher in a state of constant fear, a climate of war and a perfect setting for the unconstitutional Patriot Act and eventual martial law.
He believes,"The government story they handed us about 9/11 is total B.S." He said that he also thoroughly went over the recent 9/11 Commission report, finding about 110 outright lies and numerous other half-truths and omissions in an obvious cover-up. He said Condaleeza Rice lied through her teeth when she testified."
With his experience, Wittenberg felt that the hijackers - who couldn't even handle a Piper Cub - were not able to fly the 'big birds' he flew for so many years. And, he believed the planes were incapable of performing such high speed maneuvers as the government claimed. Furthermore, it was his contention that the possibility of jet fuel bringing down the towers made no sense.
So, right after 9/11 when it was unpopular and considered almost treasonous to question the government, Wittenberg became the first commercial airline pilot with experience flying the jets used in 9/11 to publicly denounce the government story.
He spoke publicly on many occasions about the government account of 9/11. Knowing the flight characteristics of the 'big birds' like the back of his hand, Wittenberg argued there was absolutely no possibility that Flight 77 could have "descended 7,000 feet in two minutes, all the while performing a steep 270 degree banked turn before crashing into the Pentagon's first floor wall without touching the lawn." He claimed the high speed maneuver would have surely stalled the jetliner sending it into a nose dive. He added that it was "totally impossible for an amateur who couldn't even fly a Cessna to maneuver the jetliner in such a highly professional manner." Wittenberg admitted that he couldn't do this incredible feat even with his 35 years of commercial jetliner experience.
"For a guy to just jump into the cockpit and fly like an ace is impossible, there is not one chance in a thousand," he said. When he made the jump from Boeing 727's to the highly sophisticated computerized characteristics of the 737's through 767's it took him considerable time to feel comfortable flying. "I had to be trained to use the new, computerized systems. I just couldn't jump in and fly one," he added.
About Flight 77, Wittenberg recalled the recent statements made by a flight controller on ABC's 20/20. "If you listened to her carefully only an experienced pilot probably would have known that what she was saying was scripted," he said. "Remember the transponder was turned off on Flight 77 and when this occurs, all the particular flight data like air speed and even the plane's flight identification goes with it. All that's left on the controller's screen is a green blip, that's it. But, here you have this flight controller on 20/20 saying she was tracking the flight with specific air speed and other coordinates which was totally impossible once the transponder was turned off. How would she even have known the flight number? The whole story is a pack of lies and this is just another example."
And from the moment Wittenberg called attention to the lies, he has been severely criticized. "I've learned over the years, it's hard to change anybody's mind when they really aren't listening," he said. "So, I just decided to fire back a lot of questions to those people who believe the government story. "I ask them explain how Building No.7 collapsed? I ask them why haven't the 'black boxes' been recovered? I ask them to explain how jet fuel that burns cold not hot -- could bring down two high rise structures when more than 90% of the fuel on board burned outside the buildings?" And, Whitenberg said he has hundreds of other tough questions ready.
He puts 9/11 and the Iraq war in a historical prospective. "Is 9/11 and the phony war on terror any different or more serious than Pearl Harbor and World War II?" asks Wittenberg. "The bottom line is all wars are contrived and it is these rich bankers and financiers who have pulled the strings and who have put these contrived events like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor into motion."
The real cause and effect issues about the root problems with America and the world are being ignored. "It's simply bizarre. Maybe our one-sided foreign policy that keeps getting us into all this trouble around the world should be seriously questioned," said Wittenberg. "If we are really fighting terror, why are our borders just to the south completely wide open? It's a joke."
Regarding another terror attack in America, he said, "It's not if but when." He claims that the unconstitutional Patriot Act is waiting in the wings to silence those Americans who may not fall in line with the government's eventual takeover. "They passed it for a reason. The problem with our two party system is that the same group of gangsters controls both parties," said Wittenberg.
He said,"More people are listening now, but it doesn't surprise me that still a lot of people just don't want to get involved, thinking things are just fine in America." He added,"These people are perfectly content to play golf, watch the ballgame and not get involved."
