Crossing the Rubicon: Simplifying the case against Dick Cheney Additional war games on 9/11 included Northern Vigilance, an exercise that pulled Air Force fighters from the east coast of the United States up into Canada and Alaska simulating an attack out of Russia. That means that the Vigilant Warrior drill conducted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff involved at least one real commercial aircraft in the skies, intended to simulate exactly the kind of airliner hijack emergency presented on 9/11. One exercise titled NORTHERN VIGILANCE pulled Air Force fighters up into Canada simulating a Russian air attack, so there were very few fighters remaining on the east coast to respond. www.copvcia.com /free/ww3/011805_simplify_case.shtml

display_word.asp?story_id=3612 John Paul Jones Remembers 9/11 While Maintaining Vigilance at Sea 9/18/2002 By Chief Journalist (SW/FMF) S.A. Thornbloom, PACEN San Diego ABOARD USS JOHN PAUL JONES, At Sea (NNS) -- As the nation paused to remember the victims of 9/11, USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) was being vigilant off the coast of Southern California. It wasn’t exactly vigilance against possible terrorist attacks but more a preparation to be ready in case the call came to be answered again. As Jones said, “I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast, for I intend to go in harm’s way.” “The crew has demonstrated during training that we are fully ready to deploy anytime,” Steindl said. www.news.navy.mil /search/display_word.asp?story_id=3612   (840 words)

A-9 Vigilance Kuat Drive Yards produced prototypes of the A-9 Vigilance before the Battle of Endor, but the death of the Emperor and the deterioration of the Empire limited the potential market for the fighters. The A-9 Vigilance Interceptor is Kuat Drive Yard's crack at the Imperial fighter market. The A-9 Vigilance is a sleek, stripped down fighter. insd.swcombine.com /insd/a9vigil.htm   (2294 words)

A-9 Vigilance The A-9 Vigilance Interceptor was a KDY design that had been deferred over the years due to SFS's dominance in starfighter sales to the Empire. Due to Governor Abam Tev's foolish managing of the fanchaised KDY factories on her impoverished world, she inspired the revolts that would not only hand over her planet, but also the A-9 factories over to the New Republic six years after the Battle of Endor. Kuat Drive Yards is currently suspected of developing an improved and far tougher A-9 design. www.iaw.on.ca /~btaylor1/A-9Vigilance.html   (2294 words)

Mailgate: sci.med: Re: Wargames Were Cover For the Operational Execution of 9/1 1) OPERATION NORTHERN VIGILANCE: This was planned months in advance of 9/11 and ensured that on the morning of 9/11, jet fighters were removed from patrolling the US east coast and sent to Alaska and Canada, therefore reducing the amount of fighter planes available to protect the east coast. Her first words, as quoted by Newhouse News Service were, "It must be part of the exercise." This is another example of how the numerous drills on the morning of 9/11 deliberately distracted NORAD so that the real hijacked planes couldn't be intercepted in time. It is thought to have been the 'attack' component of the Vigilant Guardian exercise. mailgate.supereva.it /sci/sci.med/msg46764.html   (2294 words)

Nail Al-Jubeir with Bill Hemmer, on terrorism (CNN - transcript) BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Now with Americans again on a heightened state of alert, authorities in Saudi Arabia are also showing signs of increased vigilance with the arrest this past week of three suspected al Qaeda operatives in an alleged 9/11-style hijacking plot in that country. HEMMER: It is said by leading Saudi authorities this was your own 9/11.

Why Are We Back In Iraq?: Charlie Sheen digs Alex Jones In truth both Alex Jones and Charlie Sheen are real conservatives, adhering to the legacy of the founding fathers who advocated constant vigilance of government. On Monday, Sheen, star of the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men" and the multiple Oscar-winning film Platoon, talked with GCN Radio Network's "The Alex Jones Show," and explained why he had trouble believing the "official 9/11 story" advanced by the Bush Administration and the 9/11 Commission. Alex Jones cut his teeth bashing Bill Clinton and in his youth even campaigned for Republicans before waking up to the false left-right paradigm. whyareweback.blogspot.com /2006/03/charlie-sheen-digs-alex-jones.html   (749 words)

The Peace Table Additional War Games on 9/11 included “Northern Vigilance”, that pulled Air Force fighters from the East Coast of the United States up into Canada and Alaska simulating an attack out of Russia. All of those fighters were rendered useless as the 9/11 plot unfolded too far away to respond. American citizens who oppose the war but never had a conduit for their disgust and dismay are dropping everything and traveling to Crawford to stand in solidarity with us who have made a commitment to sit outside of George's ranch for the duration of the miserable Texan August. thepeacetable.blogspot.com   (749 words)

TIME.com Print Page: Nation -- Bush Katrina Probe Nominee Draws Flak Perino had previously told TIME that President Bush had wanted Townsend to remain focused on vigilance against possible terrorist attack. Democrats, who have demanded an independent probe along the lines of the 9/11 Commission and have rejected the principle of an internal inquiry into Katrina failures, went even further: "There is a huge conflict of interest here," said Rebecca Kirszner, communications director for Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. Though Townsend is "a tough lady," Shays said, "I don't think she can be objective because, frankly, I would want to know what was she doing in that time, before the storm, during the storm, after the storm. www.time.com /time/nation/printout/0,8816,1107611,00.html   (472 words)

River Godavari The apex court ruled in favour of the farmers and asked the state pollution board to serve notices to 56 polluting industries asking them to provide safe drinking water to the affected villages, restore cultivable land, and provide monetary relief, medical care to the victims, and ordered sustained vigilance of the industrial discharge. The courts set a September 3, 1987 deadline to industries to build individual ETPs.

The Broadmeadows Ghost train Although the runaway train had a number of fail-safe braking systems, including a ‘dead man’s handle’, designed to stop the train if released, and a driver vigilance button, which must be pressed every 45 seconds, none of these devices functioned during the runaway train’s 17 kilometre journey. However, at 9:14am, both the driver and a signalman were shocked to see the empty train roll away from the station, toward the city. Although the driver’s compartments of the two trains became fused together by the impact, the driver of the V/Line train had managed to jump clear seconds before the crash, and was not injured. www.enet.org.au /historyonline/broadline/ghosttrain.htm   (1419 words)

TSB Reports - Rail 1999 - R99H0007 The application of the emergency brakes, the transmission of the emergency distress call and the activation of the engine stop switch, all in a matter of seconds, were indicative of a high level of vigilance and professionalism on the part of the locomotive crew on train 74. After the emergency brake application was initiated, at between 1200:48.1 and 1200:48.3, until the collision, at between 1200:56.9 and 1200:57.3, the train speed reduced from 80 mph to 68 mph. The data reflect emergency brake applications in a variety of track conditions (grade, curvature) and environmental conditions (temperature, precipitation) that are known to result in a wide variability in brake performance. ncsp.tamu.edu /reports/TSB/r99h0007.htm   (17650 words)

Vigilance at US-Canada Border csmonitor.com US Attorney General John Ashcroft has pointed out that while 9,000 Border Patrol agents work the Mexican border, only 500 are stationed on the Canada line. That possibility took on actuality in late 1999, when an Algerian who had been residing in Canada was caught at the Washington State border, trying to enter the US with explosives in his trunk. More recently, a man with a history of immigration violations in Canada was detained by the FBI in Chicago, and is being held on suspicion of having connections to the Sept. 11 suicide hijackers. www.csmonitor.com /2001/1001/p10s1-comv.html   (374 words)

I write to you with regard to your upcoming mini-series "The Reagans." I share the concerns expressed by others that it may not present an accurate depiction of the Reagan administration and America during the 1980s. On 9-11 we learned that letting the Taliban gain control of a large swath of Afghanistan was a serious mistake, and now we seem to be in danger of letting it happen again. www.prospect.org /weblog/archives/2003/10   (16730 words)
