90 Second Evacuation Delay

Headlines


01. Russia's Snowden Aeroflop

Foreign Policy One can only guess at what level a decision was taken in Moscow allowing Snowden to board the Aeroflot flight in Hong Kong bound for Sheremetyevo. It is certainly true that Russia's state-run media trumpeted the former CIA employee's revelations -- including the details of the PRISM program, the eavesdropping on conversations of G-20 leaders, and the snooping on EU delegations in Washington and New York -- as evidence of the "true nature" of U.S. foreign policy, confounding Washington's claim to the moral high ground. Like Julian Assange and Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, in the Kremlin's eyes, has played a useful function in exposing what President Vladimir Putin calls U.S. government hypocrisy

This is, however, where Russia's collaboration stopped. Putin may have been sympathetic to helping Snowden reach some safe haven where the United States would not be able to get him, but he was adamant that Russian security services had never tried to "work with him." The Russian president also suggested -- unbelievably to many Americans -- that Moscow's price for granting Snowden asylum would be his agreement to stop any further leaks that damaged, as Putin put it, "our American partners."

02. Fox: 9/11 Calls From 777 Crash Released
  • "We don't know what to do"
  • Land gear clipped the edge of the runway first
  • The auto-throttle was set in the armed position, but it needed to be ENGAGED to operate properly
  • Flight attendents were instructed announce a safe landing. They waited 90 seconds to start evacuation after they reported seeing smoke and fire from outside.
  • Pilot mistake to not start evacuation immediately. Pilots radioed tower for assistance after they stopped, see audio of control tower conversations

Exclusive: San Francisco jetliner crash caused by airlines turning pilots into 'computer geeks who can't fly' says commercial pilot
(disclaimer naturalnews is a conspiracy theory website that called Aurora a false flag, but much of what the pilot says appears to be valid)

How could a Boeing 777 -- the "Titanic" of commercial airliners -- be piloted so carelessly that the pilot seemingly flew it into the seawall and caused the accident?

But that's the problem, you see: There are no more pilots flying these planes. The real pilots have nearly all retired, leaving a bunch of "computer geeks" who have almost no flying skills and only know how to operate the computerized, automated flight equipment which is subject to catastrophic failure.

That's what "Pilot X" told me in a phone interview. His identity is being secret for his own protection, but he recently retired from over two decades of flying Boeing's largest aircraft for major U.S. airlines. He has received more actual flight time than 99% of today's active commercial pilots, and he's an expert in Boeing flight automation equipment. His testimony, below, reveals insider details that only a real commercial pilot would know..."The bigger the plane, the worse the pilot," he told me. "The airlines are trying to dumb down most of the entire fleet, and the pilots are losing all their flying skills. They don't want pilots; they want computer geeks instead of someone who can actually fly. The stick-and-rudder skills go to hell in a hand basket when you don't actually fly the plane." *snip*

likely caused by the pilot relying on the auto-throttle, Pilot X explained to me. "There's too much reliance on the auto-throttle. If you're a real pilot, you can do much better than the auto-throttle by running the power yourself to stay in line with whatever approach you're making."

"The non-flying pilot was not using CRM (crew resources management) where you call out the controls and altitude all the way down. They also had the glide slope switched off, and those two runways are too close together to be doing real close approaches."

(appears to be making a standard attack on the capitalist system) The most experienced pilots are rapidly leaving the industry and taking decades of experience with them. There are not enough younger pilots to replace them, so airline companies will increasingly have to hire inexperienced pilots to fly the largest planes. But who cares about safety when you can get extra miles by shopping with your "rewards" credit card!

Similar alarmist headlines from the same conspiracy theory folks: 
• NaturalNews exclusive: UNITED-Continental airline pilots forced to fly with as little as 3 hours' sleep, 'worked until we drop'

• Medicated in the cockpit: FAA says pilots on psych drugs can fly commercial airliners

• Studies show many over-worked airline pilots are not safe to fly

12. Aviation week Hint At Auto Throttle Confusion 
pilots disconnected the aircraft’s autopilot at 1,600 ft., presumably to hand-fly the approach.
The instructor pilot told investigators that at 500 ft. altitude, he realized the aircraft was below the visual glideslope provided by the precision approach path indicator (PAPI) lights on the airport, since the system showed three red and one white light. When on the proper glideslope, pilots see two white and two red lights. All red indicates a position significantly below the glideslope while all white lights indicate being well above the reference glideslope. The electronic glideslope generally used as part of an instrument landing system was not operating due to runway construction at the airport this summer.
“He told [the left-seat] pilot to pull back [on the control wheel],” says Hersman of the interview. “He had set the speed at 137 kt. and assumed the autothrottles were maintaining the speed.” Autothrottles, if armed and turned on, will automatically increase or decrease engine thrust to maintain a preset speed, in this case 137 kt., the reference landing speed for the 777-200ER that day. The NTSB is investigating why the autothrottle did not work as the instructor had expected, an issue that could include mode confusion related to the interaction of various auto-flight modes.
Hersman says investigators documenting switch positions is the cockpit after the crash noted that the autothrottles were armed. In that state, the system will automatically activate when speeds are low regardless of whether pilots have the autothrottle system turned on or off.
Preliminary data from the aircraft’s flight data recorder shows that the speed had already decayed to 134 kt. as the aircraft passed through 500 ft., and would ultimately drop as low as 103 kt. at 3 sec. before impact.
The 777 continued to slow as the pilots attempted to “correct a lateral deviation” as it descended from 500 ft. to 200 ft. “At 200 ft., the four PAPIs were red and the airspeed was in the hatched area,” says Hersman. The “hatched” markings on an airspeed tape warn pilots of an impending stall. The instructor pilot at that point recognized that the autothrottle was not maintaining speed and established a nose-high go-around attitude. He attempted to push the throttles forward for more power, but says the pilot-flying had already done so.
Information from the flight data recorder showed that the pilots first increased engine power from flight idle at 125 ft. altitude, reaching 50% thrust 3 sec. before impact.
COMMENT: Captain Scully showed us the skills of the real pilots that just slide the seat up and say "I got it". Apparently there was no one in this cockpit who was capable of doing that. So the "box" crashed the airplane. Oh my

BAY SHORE, N.Y. - An attorney for a young New York man caught boarding a plane to Yemen to fight with an Al Qaeda affiliate tells The Associated Press his client has autism and did not understand the gravity of what he was doing.
A young New York man caught boarding a plane on his way to Yemen to fight with an al-Qaida affiliate is a mixed-up teenager who was diagnosed with autism and did not understand the gravity of what he was doing, his attorney told The Associated Press.

Justin Kaliebe, 18, pleaded guilty in a secret federal court proceeding in February to a charge of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization. He was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation before he is sentenced Sept. 27, the outcome of which could prompt defense attorney Anthony LaPinta to seek to have the guilty plea withdrawn. His client faces up to 30 years in prison.

"Justin Kaliebe is a gentle, misguided, autistic teenager who does not have the ability to fully understand the magnitude and consequences of his actions

14. Watermelon and skittles, not so innocent after all by CaveTroll http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=52071 Okay, I read it all. Much of it sounds convincing, especially: 
Quote:

When he saw Zimmerman he began the conversation by saying “hey man, what the f**k’s your problem, what the f**k you looking at”?
Zimmerman responded tennatively, somewhat fearful, somewhat like an “uh-oh” reaction, blew off the initial confrontation from Trayvon, and reached for his phone again to call the police.
Frustrated and feeling profiled for no-good-reason, (mindset “what you wanna call the cops on me for”?… this busy body Zimmerman is bringing grief for nothing. He should mind his own damn businesss.) In his mind, and in actuality, Trayvon was no threat to anyone. This dude calling the cops on him just pissed him off. Part anger mixed with a high dose of frustration.
It went downhill from there.



This theoretical description sounds close. 
Still, if Zimmerman was NOT following him, nothing would have happened. 
If Zimmerman WAS NOT ARMED, he would have suffered cuts & bruises that he could have sued over later.

Ideological DNA fingerprint of "innocence of Muslims/ Bin Laden" Point To Terrorist State


Note - this is an early draft, but this speak for the dozens of people who suspected early on that the "attack of the anti-muslim youtube video" was manufactured by terrorist who tricked americans into helping them make a film which could then be used to target American, Israel, Copts, and ultimate the american ambassador of Libya.

Youtube routinely takes down videos which make islamists look bad such as memri translations, as well as nazi and pro-al queda and anwar al-awlaki videos, porn and racism, but if there is any possibility that a terrorist state or organization was responsible for the video, it should be taken down by youtube which can cause enormous harm because of its scale.

The Innocence / Attack of the Anti-Islamic Movie

Four Americans including Ambassador Christopher Stevens were killed by what appears to be the first successful Sept 11 attack since 9 Arabs hijacked four airliners under the banner of militant Islamism in 2001. It took the Obama administration a week to acknowledge that just maybe it was a terrorist attack. That shouldn’t be too surprising since they still officially classify the 2009 Fort Hood shootings, the worst terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11 as a “workplace violence” incident. Obama never acknowledged any  direct relationship to the religion or politics of the shooter who had asked no less than Imam Anwar al-Awlaki, later killed by drones for terrorism and spiritual advisor to the Pentagon hijackers for religious guidance on shooting US soldiers.

But this time, it seems as if terrorists hijacked a seemingly innocent Youtube video instead of airliners as the battering ram of choice. The film was widely reported to insult and depict the “Islamic Prophet Muhammad as a womanizing fraud”. The press widely reported that it was outrage over the film that was the rallying cry of protesters who scaled the walls of the American embassy in Egypt and scrawled graffiti honoring Osama bin Laden, and flying an Islamist flag typically flown by Al Queda. No evidenced of any connection to terrorism there. 3 protesters were killed in the Iranian client state of Sudan near the U.S. embassy, and another in Lebanon. Another 3 were killed at the embassy in Tunis, spark of the Arab spring so celebrated by Obama where protesters shouted “Obama! Obama! We are all Osama!” Obviously, Obama’s commitment to a more cordial relationship with the muslim world is going to take a second term to show a positive effect.  Even the Taliban took part in the protests, trashing 8 of 10 Harrier jets which had been moved to a giant helicopter base over the summer. Not even the Viet Cong in Vietnam had succeeded in destroying so many planes or breaking in to base.


But as the American right wing circled their wagons around free speech and argued that the violence had nothing to do with the video, I noticed a few things amiss, and wondered if Al Queda or somebody else had actually commissioned the video as a tool to attack the United States, Israel, Egyptian Copts and the counter-jihad movment all in one. This Sam Becile filmmaker seems to be the one bad character that has a history of committing crimes and serial lying, infiltrating Copt groups in the United States and tricking them into producing movie which was first promoted as if it were an Al Queda terrorist recruiting movie, and then promoted as a movie which goes out of its way to insult The Prophet.

What has only been reported in blogs is that the original title of the movie was “The Innocence of Bin Laden”, which implies sympathy for the hero of Al Queda terrorists.  people in Hollywood spotted a promotional poster in Arabic advertising its theatrical showing in Arabic, and a couple of people took pictures. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) noticed advertisements in the paper and they wondered if “it was  some kind of pro-jihadist movie  Hollywood blogger, John Walsh was also alarmed by the title of the film, saying "There is an alarming event occurring in Hollywood .. We have no idea what this group is." The blog site reported that the June 30 screening had been canceled.

Oddly for a movie widely quoted as being anti-muslim, the poster did not denigrate Muslims, but rather referred to "my Muslim brother". In a translation provided by the ADL, the poster stated it would reveal "the real terrorist who caused the killing of our children In Palestine, and our brothers in Iraq and Afghanistan." Steven Klein’s excuse for the title was that their plan was to attract terrorists to see the movie and then enrage them.

Photo by Current TV producer  "By the name of Allah almighty, and for the occasion of Ramadan, the holy month, may it always bring bless...etc... We announce the big movie: Innocence of Ben Laden. For the same time in international cinema, see, my Muslim brethren, the real terrorist holding the evidence of his guilt, that terrorist which caused the deaths of our children in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq."


However, that does not fully explain the coded language. The language appears to not only revere Islam, but the radical variety espoused by Osama Bin Laden. Who is this true terrorist that kills Muslims in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan?  The answer is obscure to most Americans but easy for those familiar with pro-Palestine pro-Arab propaganda – the USA. Residents of Ramallah in the West Bank consider Bin Laden to not only be innocent, but a hero. Colin Nickerson of the Boston Globe on the first anniversary of 9/11 in 2002 got this quote from a resident said Ahmed Rezak Shamasneh whose house was destroyed by Israeli tanks: ''America is the true terrorist ''It is the ally of Israel, which is killing our people [in Palestine]. It is the country that drops bombs on poor Afghans.''

If you google search “bin laden innocent”, the first article that shows up is “Osama bin Laden: Closing the Case on an Innocent Man” which condemns the killing of Bin Laden and argues that the alleged terrorist was innocent. That’s an ususual position for an American named named Gordon Duff who claims to be an Marine who is editor of a website for veterans called Veterans Today.  He claims: that “He knew nothing of Al Qaeda, never planned 9/11, never advocated terrorism, not once”. The REAL terrorist? “Bin Laden condemns terrorism and says that the US government, Israel and the press are using terrorism against the American people in order to frighten them into going to war, the endless war going on today”. Who kills muslims in Afghanistan? “bin Laden refers to the invasion of Afghanistan as a Jewish crusade… Mossad operations…have been responsible for training and supplying the Taliban inside Pakistan” Who killed muslims in Iraq? “the attack on Iraq is now known to have been planned as part of the Project for a New American Century..run by Israeli citizens inside the United StatesPalestine? In the letter by Usama Bin Ladin “to the Pakistani people, ““All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel.”

What is Veterans Today? The Anti-defamation League (ADL) notes VT continues the tradition of the neo-Nazi American Free Press (AFP)  conspiracy-oriented newspaper in promoting anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories. VT is just one of a vast network of anti-Israel, pro-Iran conspiracists who “blame Israel for numerous nefarious deeds and false flag operations”. ADL notes that Gordon Duff is the senior editor of the “the anti-Semitic Web site Veterans Today”, claiming “Israelis and Jewish members of the Bush Administration carried out the 9/11 attacks as a false flag operation to provoke a war against Israel's enemies.”  These articles are “picked up by the conspiracy press, the extreme right press, and elsewhere, including Islamic media sources in the United States an in arab countries and Pakistan, connecting 9/11 attacks to claims regarding Israeli mistreatment of the Palestinians, making the 9/11 theories part and parcel of an overall anti-Israel agenda.”  Duff claims that every attack blamed on arabs or Al Queda was  actually a “false flag” attack from 9-11 to the USS Cole bombing. Canadian author Michael Ross described VT as a "dubious Holocaust-denying journa

Accoring to Duff’s biography on Veterans Today, Gordon Duff  is the “military affairs analyst for Press TV, is regularly on TV and radio, a popular and sometimes controversial guest” , which means he actually works for an official Iranian government agency and acts as one of the US-based spokesmen. Not surprisingly, everything he says matches the official position of the Iranian government.

While few have directly accused Gordon Duff of being an agent of Iran, Mike Fegelman executive director of pro-Israel HonestReporting Canada called Iran’s Press TV “Iran’s Hateful Mouthpiece in Canada” which , featuring reports which “disseminate radical propaganda and spew anti-Semitic tropes.” He noted Calgary based Josh Blakeney, like the Iranian government, promoted promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories blaming Israel’s Mossad, and writes for Veterans Today. Fegelman called the PressTVB reporter a shill for the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program who mourned for Iranian nuclear scientists.  

In the 1950s, black poet Frank Marshall Davis was recognized as being an agent for Stalinist Russia as a member of the Communist Party of the USA by the FBI and congressional committees from this anti-American newspaper articles. But today, America doesn’t have anyone in the government investigating if America’s new enemies such as Iran still main newspapers and websites which are radical Islamist fronts instead of communist fronts.
It is certainly possible, indeed consider the small number of people and organizations who boldly proclaim  the “innocence of Bin Laden” that the same people who write his materials also wrote that propaganda poster. It is like an ideological  fingerprint or DNA. Nobody else so boldy proclaims the innocence of bin laden than amadinijad of Iran, nor proclaims so much outrage over deaths of muslims in Palestine, iraq and Afghanistan.  From Veterans Today, you can easily trace the massive network supported by Iran – Alex Jones, Rense, Willis Carto / American free press and Ron Paul supporters.

Duff and a network of other writers on Veterans Today immediately began a massive disinformation campaign of conspiracy theories blaming the CIA, Mossad, Copts, “extremist Christians”, Israel and the US. Alexander Higgins and commenter trolls blame Saudi Arabia, which Iran and ex-CIA analyst Michael Sheurer considers its Sunni arch-rival to its Shia brand of Islam. So far no one on the internet even suspects Iran could have anything to do with this even though we know Iran tried to kill the Saudi ambassador. Max Blumenthal was the first to tie the film to geller and Spencer, he’s definitely working for Iran as well.

So even if we don’t have direct evidence, we need to speculate and investigate if the speculation could be true – that Iran recruited an agent to infiltrate the Copts and counter-jihad circles such as Pam Geller and Robert Spencer, and give him a modest budget to get Americans and Copts to help him create a deceptive film which could later be modified into an grotesquely anti-Muslim video insulting the Prophet. This film would then be blamed on, and target Israel, Coptic Christians, and the United States, leverage youtube to give a seemingly silly video the impact of multiple airliner crashes and inflame a global jihad against American embassies including assassinating the US ambassador to the government hated and opposed primarily by Iran. They knew that the western press would dutifully report “outrage over the anti-muslim video insulting the prophet”, without anyone suspecting or even speculating about a “false flag” attack except for numerous spurious “false flag conspiracy theories blaming everyone except the obvious prime candidate for a terrorist state that had the means and motive .  This was the same pattern that alleged “radical Christian counter-jihadist” Anders Breivik, who did everything that one normally associates with an Al Queda attack, except that he claimed to be doing it for Christian counter-jihadist who all denounced him, and again, no one in the media or even the right wing blogosphere even suspected that Breivik might have been created precisely in the manner that pro-jihad conspiracy theorists always propose that every Al Queda attack was a Jewish attack to blame muslim terrorists.

Nakoula pleaded no contest in 2010 to federal bank fraud charges in California and was ordered to pay $794,701 in restitution. He was also sentenced to 21 months in federal prison. Following his release in June 2011,[4] he was ordered not to use computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.[1]
Although Nakoula has denied being the film's pseudonymous director Sam Bacile of the controversialInnocence of Muslims film, the Associated Press reported that the cellphone number Bacile used for an interview matched Nakoula's address.[5][6][7]

Nicola Bacily is currently a redirect to Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. This doesn't appear to be disputed or controversial so I won't change it but clearly a link to both of them in this article doesn't make sense as long as that remains the case. Nil Einne (talk) 07:32, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Steve Klein goes to a disambiguation page, the primary target being Steven Klein. It is not clear to me whether this photographer is the guy involved or not, in fact my impression is that it is unlikely that he is the guy involved with this film.

‘It Makes Me Sick’: Actress in Muhammed Movie Says She Was Deceived, Had No Idea It Was About Islam

‘It Makes Me Sick’: Actress in Muhammed Movie Says She Was Deceived, Had No Idea It Was About Islam
The story of the Muhammed movie which sparked deadly protests in Libya gets weirder. The actors who appeared in it had no idea they were starring in anti-Islam propaganda which depicts Muhammed as a child molester and thug. They were deceived by the film's director, believing they were appearing in a film about the life of a generic Egyptian 2,000 years ago.
Cindy Lee Garcia, an actress from Bakersfield, Calif., has a small role in the Muhammed movie as a woman whose young daughter is given to Muhammed to marry. But in a phone interview this afternoon, Garcia told us she had no idea she was participating in an offensive spoof on the life of Muhammed when she answered a casting call through an agency last summer and got the part.
[copyvio elided —Cupco 23:46, 12 September 2012 (UTC)]
"I called Sam and said, 'Why did you do this?' and he said, 'I'm tired of radical Islamists killing each other. Let other actors know it's not their fault.'"
Garcia isn't satisfied simply knowing it wasn't her fault.
"I'm going to sue his butt off."
Update: The entire 80-member cast and crew of the film have released a statement saying they were misled. Via CNN:
The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer. We are 100% not behind this film and were grossly misled about its intent and purpose. We are shocked by the drastic re-writes of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred.


Commentary (conservative jewish magazine)


Who is “Sam Bacile”?


http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/09/12/who-is-sam-bacile/

here’s basically no evidence that “Sam Bacile” even exists. The closest person who fits that description (at least electronically) is a self-proclaimed Egyptian “movie-maker” in California, who calls himself “Sam Bassel” on Facebook. Bassel has been registered on Facebook since 2010, and has posted regularly about the movies he supposedly produces, including the one that was used as a pretext for the Egyptian riots.
“Hello, I am a producer in a America and I live in Hollywood California,” he wrote in a July 15 post, well before the controversy erupted in Egypt. “I recently produced a movie that I believe to be one of the most historically important movie of our times. It is a 2 hour long movie about the entire life of the Prophet Muhammad from start to finish. Everything that is depicted in the movie is very true and well documented in all historical books that are found and taught in all Islamic countries.”
Bassel has posted about the film often over the past few months. According to one post, the movie took Bassel 12 years to complete and “blames America for the wars that occurred recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
UPDATE: The Facebook page belonging to “Sam Bassel” was apparently taken down a few hours after I posted this, but PolicyMic published some screenshots. Hold on, though, the story gets weirder. PolicyMic also flags an AP article that suggests Bacile/Bassel may actually be a man named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who claims to be a “manager” for the company that produced the film, as well as a Coptic Christian. Nakoula denied that he posed as Bacile, but the details dug up by the AP sure sound suspicious:
