Man Who Exposed Government Plan to Level Twin Towers

Passes Lie Detector Test; Receives Death Threats

By Greg Szymanski, American Free Press, April 11 & 18, 2005 issue, page 4

Aformer U.S. Army corporal and Department of Defense (DOD) operative has received a number of death threats after releasing information that his military unit in 1976 was commissioned by Congress to create the perfect terrorist plan to level the WTC with airplanes and box cutters.

Timothy McNiven, under contract with the DOD, claims the threats were transmitted by email and "snail mail" from unknown origins in what he calls an ongoing harassment campaign to keep him quiet about the government-sponsored "perfect terrorist plan," almost identical to what happened on Sept. 11, 2001. McNiven, however, disregarded the threats, telling his story to AFP. His account first appeared in the March 21 issue.

Besides personal threats, he also claims other members of his 1976 unit, including a man named Sgt. Riggs, were also threatened. Riggs and more than 100 of McNiven’s unit members have not come forward or spoken publicly about his accusations.

"I am just one of the enlisted men who took part, but I can confirm it took place and our plan was just like what went down on 9-11," said McNiven. "There were about 100 people from my unit involved and I am actively seeking help to find them.

"Sgt. Riggs told me one day that he and others had their wives and children threatened by the U.S. government with retaliatory acts if they were to release their information to the media. But he said if I could break the censorship and get to the media first, he then would come forward and tell what he knows."

The study, commissioned to C-Battery 2/81st Field Artillery, U.S. Army, stationed in Strasbourg, Germany in 1976, specifically devised the scenario of the twin towers being leveled by Middle Eastern terrorists using commercial airliners and even plastic box cutters to bypass security.

McNiven first went public with the hidden purpose behind the congressional study in an affidavit included in a 9-11-related federal conspiracy lawsuit filed against Bush and others in by Mrs. Ellen Mariani on Sept. 12, 2003.

The publicized version of the study, commissioned by Congress, was to identify security lapses and submit corrective measures to lawmakers. However, McNiven claims the real purpose of the study was to brainstorm how to pull off the perfect terrorist attack using the same 9-11 scenario.

To back up his story, McNiven passed a credible lie detector test, testified in a sworn affidavit contained in the federal 2003 RICO lawsuit filed against Bush and provided the names of the men in his 1976 unit.

McNiven claims to have lost contact with the members of his unit, but he especially is interested in finding Lt. Michael Teague, the officer in charge of the unit who gave the specific orders to devise the mock 9-11 plan.

"I remember Lt. Teague changed the scenario of the supposed study from a 100 story building to the twin towers," said McNiven, emphasizing that Teague was acting on specific orders from unknown superiors.

"He then said he thought it was very strange to be asked to devise a plan to blow up your own home town. But as I watched the twin towers really collapse on the morning of Sept. 11, I realized I was watching the very same thing we devised in 1976," he said.

McNiven said he was originally told by Teague "never to go public" about the contents of the details and findings of the mock terrorist plan. But later, for unknown reasons, Teague changed his mind, perhaps due to feelings of guilt, and gave him direct orders to go public if anything like 9-11 ever occurred in the future.

"I was given the direct order, which I feel I am still under, that if the twin towers were ever attacked the way we discussed in the 1976 study, I was to do everything in my power to bring the similarities to the attention of the American people," said McNiven. "I have no idea why they changed their minds, but I was then emphatically told that this order was never to be rescinded—never—because those who would rescind it, would be the very same people who turned against the American people."

Besides Teague and Riggs, he is hoping others in his unit will come forward with more details in order to verify his story.

"I am willing to take additional polygraph exams to prove I am telling the truth until other participants in the study come forward," added McNiven.

Some of the other members of his unit, names provided by McNiven, include Col. Robert Morrison, Maj. Joe Dipiero, Sgt. Maj. McKay, Sgt. Middleton, Sgt. Arroyo, Sgt. Murray, Sgt. Edwards, Sgt. Broder, Sgt. Steadman, Sgt. Wolford, Sgt. Jackson, Sgt. Garza, Sgt. Meralas, Sgt. Taraza, Sgt. Spears, 1st Sgt. Ray, Sgt. Terry Henderson, Sgt. Barber, Cpl. Picket, Cpl. Wisner, Richard Seanz, Berni Domoski, George Cinch, Harry Waldren, Tom Kimber, Rick Lyons, Michael Hubbert, Dan Henderson, Martian Seals, Jake Asuit, Bruce Levine, Thomas Gumbs, Rick Bruns, Dennis Montoya, Phlash Richardson, Fetch, Bob Bender, Johnson, Drew Cousins and Terry Cook.

McNiven claims the real purpose of the study was to brainstorm how topull off the perfect terrorist attack using the same 9-11 scenario. To back up his story, he passed acredible lie detector test.

The Israeli Connection to Sept. 11 Attacks Detailed

By Christopher Bollyn, American Free Press, April 11 & 18, 2005 issue, page 3

American investigators and the controlled media have ignored evidence that points to Mossad involvement in 9-11. From the day aircraft smashed into the World Trade Center (WTC), news reports have pointed to Israeli involvement in 9-11 and "false flags" planted to blame Arabs for the attacks. Shortly after the destruction of the twin towers, five "Middle Eastern men" were reportedly arrested in New Jersey after being seen videotaping and celebrating the explosive collapse of the WTC. These men, from a phony moving company in Weehawken, N.J., turned out to be agents of Israeli military intelligence, Mossad.

Dominic Suter, the Israeli owner of Urban Moving Systems, the phony "moving company," escaped to Israel before FBI agents could interrogate him. The agents were later returned to Israel on minor visa violations.

The assistant attorney general in charge of criminal investigations at the time was Michael Chertoff, the current head of the Dept. of Homeland Security.

One of the agents later told Israeli radio that they had been prepared to "document the event" which took the lives of some 3,000 Americans.

While the Israelis arrested in New Jersey evidently had prior knowledge or were involved in the planning of 9-11, the U.S. mainstream media has never broached the question of Israeli complicity in the attacks.

ODIGO INSTANT MESSAGES

Evidence that Israelis had been forewarned of the attacks surfaced at an Israeli instant messaging service, known as Odigo. This story, evidence of Israeli prior knowledge, was reported briefly in the U.S. media—and forgotten.

At least two Israel-based employees of Odigo received warnings of an imminent attack in New York City two hours before the first plane hit the WTC. Odigo had headquarters two blocks from the WTC. The Odigo employees, however, did not pass the warning on to the authorities in New York, a move that could have saved many lives.

Two weeks after 9-11, Alex Diamandis, Odigo’s vice president, reportedly said, "It was possible that the attack warning was broadcast to other Odigo members, but the company has not received reports of other recipients of the message."

The Internet address of the sender was given to the FBI, and two months later it was reported that the FBI was still investigating the matter. There have been no media reports since.

Odigo, like many Israeli software companies, is based in Herzliya, Israel, the suburb of Tel Aviv where Mossad headquarters are located.

Shortly after 9-11, Odigo was taken over by Comverse Technology, another Israeli company. Within a year, five executives from Comverse were reported to have profited by more than $267 million from "insider trading."

Through Israeli "venture capital" funds, scores of software companies are spawned in the United States. The Israel-based companies are sponsored by Mossad funding sources such as Cedar Fund, Stage One Ventures, and Veritas Venture Partners.

The key players of these funds and companies include former members of "Israel’s Intelligence Corps" and veterans of the R&D Department of the Israeli air force. Many are graduates of Israel’s "Technion" school in Haifa, the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, or a military school for software development.

The IDC, a private, non-profit university, is tied to the Mossad. The IDC has a "research institute," headed by Shabtai Shavit, former head of Mossad from 1989 to 1996, called the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism.

The IDC also has a "Marc Rich Center for the Study of Commodities, Trading and Financial Markets" and a "Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy."

The cosmetics magnate Ronald S. Lauder, a supporter of Israel’s far-right Likud Party, founded the Lauder school.

Lauder, president of the Jewish National Fund and former chairman of the Gov. George Pataki’s (R-N.Y.) Commission on Privatization, reportedly pushed the privatization of the WTC and former Stewart AFB, where the flight paths of the two planes that hit the twin towers converged on 9-11.

THE PTECH CUTOUT

Ptech, a mysterious software company, has been linked with 9-11. The Quincy, Mass.-based company was supposedly connected to "the Muslim Brotherhood" and Arab terrorism.

The firm’s suspected links with terrorism resulted in a visit by FBI agents in December 2002, which was leaked to the media and led to the demise of the company.

The company "produced software that derived from PROMIS, and was installed on virtually every computer system of the U.S. government and its military agencies on September 11, 2001," Michael Ruppert’s From the Wilderness (FTW) web site reported.

"This included the White House, Treasury Dept. (Secret Service), Air Force, FAA, CIA, FBI, both houses of Congress, Navy, Dept. of Energy, IRS, Booz Allen Hamilton, IBM, Enron and more," FTW wrote.

"Overriding FAA systems would be the most effective way to ensure the attacks were successful," FTW reported. "To do this, the FAA needed an evolution of PROMIS software installed on their systems and Ptech was just that—a superior modified version capable of "surveillance and intervention" systems."

Oussama Ziade, a Lebanese Muslim immigrant who came to the United States in 1985, founded Ptech in 1994. But the company’s original manager of marketing and information systems was Michael S. Goff, whose PR firm, Goff Communications, currently represents Guardium, a Mossad-linked software company.

"As information systems manager [for Ptech], Michael handled design, deployment and management of its Windows and Macintosh, data, and voice networks," Goff’s web site says. He also "performed employee training and handled all procurement for software, systems and peripherals."

AFP asked Goff, who left the Worcester law firm of Seder & Chandler in 1994, how he wound up working at Ptech. "Through a temp agency," Goff said, but he could not remember the name of the agency.

Goff said he did not know who had written the Ptech software code. AFP contacted the government agencies that reportedly have Ptech software on their computers, and IBM, to ask if they knew who wrote the Ptech source code. None had provided any information by press time.

Christopher Bollyn is a much-traveled international journalist currently based in Chicago, serving as AFP’s Midwest bureau chief for American Free Press. He has written extensively on a wide variety of subjects including the controversy surrounding computerized voting systems, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the many unanswered questions surrounding the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

Deadly Legacy

IN THE APRIL 4 ISSUE OF AFP, we reported on charges aired recently in a psychiatric newsletter that Anthony Principi, the head of the Veterans Affairs, quietly stepped down over the growing scandal involving the highly toxic weapons component known as depleted uranium (DU).

According to Arthur Bernklau, executive director of Veterans for Constitutional Law, "This malady (from uranium munitions), that thousands of our military have suffered and died from, has finally been identified as the cause of this sickness, eliminating the guessing. The terrible truth is now being revealed. . . . Out of the 580,400 soldiers who served in GW1 (the first Gulf War), of them, 11,000 are now dead! By the year 2000, there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability. This astounding number of ‘disabled vets’ means that a decade later, 56 percent of those soldiers who served have some form of permanent medical problems."

As we have editorialized before, the continued use of DU is a war crime because the substance kills indiscriminately on and around battlefields. The fact is, the U.S. military has been well aware that DU is highly toxic when it is vaporized on the battlefield but has sought to hide this major fact. Study after study has shown a link between an assortment of strange illnesses and grotesque birth defects and the military’s use of DU.

No one knows for sure just how many tons of DU our government has deposited around the world on helpless civilians and on soldiers—including our own—during George Bush’s wanton war games.

Some say the figure is 200 tons, others claim tens of thousands. The exact number is not important; what is important is the criminal deceit that the military, under orders of the White House, has practiced.

Anywhere DU has been employed—including firing ranges across the United States and war zones around the world—the ground and water will be contaminated for centuries. Not exactly a pretty legacy for American "democracy" to leave for posterity.

It is time for Congress or responsible parties in the administration to ban the use of DU for they are as complicit in this crime as is our boy president.

At least two Israel-based employees of Odigo received warnings of an imminent attack in New York City two hours before the first plane hit the WTC. Odigo had headquarters two blocks from the WTC.

The Odigo employees did not pass the warning on to authorities.
