3. And the unasked ?: why was the military told to stand down on 9-11?
That's the question no one has really asked, and no one has really answered. I was in the attacks in NYC, and I can't remember when a military plane finally showed up over NYC, but I know it was not until after the south tower fell down, which is what - 1.25 hours after the first plane went into the north tower.

I remember,because I was next to the south tower when it fell, and I know I was many, many blocks away before the military showed up.

The one thing I can't remember is whether the military showed up before or after the north tower (the second one to fall) fell, but I KNOW FOR AN AbSOLUTE FACT that no military was there before the south tower fell.

That's fucking bullshit, and a total violation of a) standard military/FAA procedure, and b) military/FAA procideure involving, specifically, the WTC, because after the 1993 bombings very precise and specific precautions and rules were taken in regards to the WTC, such as automatic military presence for any airplane coming within a certain distance of the WTC.

And,of course, standard FAA rules are that any plane that doesn't respond by radio gets an instant military escort, and any plane that goes off their planned route gets an immediate military escort.

On 9-11, all planes met both criteria for instant military intervention.

The only possibile conclusion is that the military was told from on-high - whether from the fake president idiot himself, from the VP, from Rummy, or from AssKKKroft, we don't know - but someone gave the order to stand down, and I want the godddamn truth as to who, and I want that person to serve life in prison.
