The limited public information on these exercises shows that they simulated the following events: Hijackings Attacks on buildings using aircraft as missiles Attacks using toxic or infectious substances These events are all elements of the actual attack, which involved four alleged hijackings , three jetliner crashes into buildings, and the toxic calamity at Ground Zero in the wake of the World Trade Center's destruction.

Flight WTC 1 North Tower. NYC death toll. The contradictions mean that at least some of the responsible officials must have been promoting falsehoods, but again, no move has been made to hold anyone accountable for that. A wargame pretext can allow false-flag attacks to be rehearsed or prepared without arousing suspicion; and divert resources or block communication lines on Day X.

After the fact, the idea that the wargames were subverted by Arab hijackers with inside information or a lot of luck! Hard evidence for the hypothesis first began surfacing in August , when it was revealed that the CIA had scheduled an evacuation drill at the National Reconnaissance Office on the morning of Sept.

One man who helped plan the drill, John Fulton, actually put it on his resume as an example of his prescience. He claimed that the exercises enhanced air defense response, an incredible statement given the failures to intercept. The most innocent-seeming of these, Northern Guardian was announced in advance and dispatched air force assets to the Arctic Circle in response to the Russian maneuvers also scheduled for that day. However, Vigilant Guardian appears to have scripted simulated attacks within the continental United States.

Robert K. Marr and Lt. At , Deskins noticed senior technician Jeremy Powell waving his hand. Boston Center was on the line, he said. It had a hijacked airplane. At first, everybody did. Then Deskins saw the glowing direct phone line to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Again, the new supporting evidence provided by Thompson suggests that no move was made to suspend the wargames until well after the second crash at am, by which time the worst of the attacks had occurred and the Pentagon flight was well under way. The US military has over the decades developed many counter-command and counter-control techniques for jamming and confusing enemy radar installations, as well as stealth technologies.

Did the wargames also use such techniques against the FAA, as a test of its response to potential hijackings? The report says the Commission was unable to reconstruct how this information entered the FAA system and leaves things at that, without noting that of necessity, fighters can only be vectored to a known location, i.

Let us recall that FAA head Jane Garvey and Richard Clarke, among others, testified to at least 11 different suspected hijackings at various points during the crash-bombings. With so many assets diverted to wargames, only eight jets were left for a total of four possible interceptions since they are dispatched in pairs.

The number of jets kept ready exclusively for such emergency services had been reduced earlier that year. Response would have been further complicated by the presence of radar blind-spots after the FAA began dismantling certain primary radar installations in , which means that there were areas where Flights 11, 77 and 93 would have been temporarily invisible, after their transponders stopped broadcasting.

It is more than curious that both Flight 11 and Flight 93 took long detours away from their supposed targets, during which they passed through such areas. The Flight 11 route is in bright blue over Massachussetts and New York; Flight 93 is the red plane heading towards Cleveland; Flight 77 is the furthest south, over West Virginia.

Reconstructing what really happened among civilian air traffic controllers may be impossible. An invaluable store of evidence—tapes of recollections by the air traffic controllers in Long Island who handled the two New York crash flights, taken on the afternoon of Sept. Vigilant Warrior, the most mysterious wargame of all, is mentioned only in a direct quote attributed to Myers by former counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke in his book, Against All Enemies.

The contrast of Vigilant Guardian to Vigilant Warrior not only suggests related exercises, but a red team and a blue team paired as enemies. How many? Langley is trying to get two up now [toward Washington]. You know, you look down and see the Pentagon burning and I thought the bastards snuck one by us. You couldn't see any airplanes, and no one told us anything. No details on the exercises at all. And it intentionally links with a number of other exercises, a point that's repeated elsewhere.

The exercises are supposed to run together. The computer network attack scenario, however, remains as speculative as Jacobs suggests: it's not known if any such attack were included in the scenario, or whether it was running during the attacks, or whether that might have had any effect on NORAD. How are spy satellites going to be any more useful at picking up and identifying a particular plane, than radar? Agency chiefs came up with the scenario to test employees' ability to respond to a disaster, said spokesman Art Haubold.

To simulate the damage from the plane, some stairwells and exits were to be closed off, forcing employees to find other ways to evacuate the building. As events unfolded? Staff were sent home after the attacks, not during. And even then, essential personnel remained -- again, no evidence to show satellite use was compromised, and nothing to indicate that satellites would have made the slightest difference to events anyway.

There's one more issue which strongly suggests at least to us that there's nothing to the NRO story, and that's how it was uncovered. It didn't come about through a FOIA request from some diligent reporter.

It wasn't revealed by truther investigations, or interviews with those involved. Rather, it was announced at a homeland security conference in Chicago, as part of an introduction for CIA agent John Fulton:. Fulton and his team Little did they know that the scenario would come true in a dramatic way that day. Read more here. One of the most common approaches with regard to the "war games" is to present you with some huge list, and then argue that this is too many exercises to be coincidental.

But as we've seen, these lists aren't always an accurate reflection of what was going on. Of the remaining three, one was a real operation in response to a Russian exercise and not a "war game" at all Operation Northern Vigilance. This perhaps isn't quite the staggering coincidence that some would have you believe. War Games From myths. Jump to: navigation , search.

They also have the legal authority and technological capability to take supreme command in cases of national emergency. Click here for a summary of these points 2.

Air Force response. Exercise Amalgam Virgo took place June , Simulated engagements occurred against all drone and BD-5 sorties.

Stephen N. Firefighters here said others told them the same thing. Rindt could only express his sorrow while he acknowledged that indeed, what people were seeing was not a movie, even if it looked like one.

Fort Monmouth is home to various Army, Defense Department, and other government agencies. NORAD conducted operation Northern Denial from December 1 to 14, in response to a similar, but smaller scale, Russian deployment of long-range bombers at northern Russian air bases. More than American and Canadian military men and women were in involved in the deployment. NORAD press release.

The Air National Guard exclusively performs the air sovereignty mission in the continental United States, and those units fall under the control of the 1st Air Force based at Tyndall. The Guard maintains seven alert sites with 14 fighters and pilots on call around the clock. Web Archive source. Yet another drill was a bio-warfare exercise called Tripod II. We then arrived at the police academy and set up a command center at the police academy.

And the command center at the police academy was complete with everything that we needed -- all of the facilities -- and were able to have a press conference there about in the afternoon in which we could explain to people how the whole thing would be managed from there on in.

The equipment was already there. So we were able to establish a command center there within three days that was two and a half to three times bigger than the command center that we had lost at 7 World Trade Center. And it was from there that the rest of the search and rescue effort was completed. During this event, Lt.

At am she took a call from Boston Center which said it had a hijacked airliner. Her first words, as quoted by Newhouse News Service were, "It must be part of the exercise.

As you know through previous testimony from Gen. Which means, that basically our entire staff was focused on being able to do the air operations center mission, which was our job to do.
