Unlike other accounts of the historic attacks on 9/11, this discussion surveys the role of the world’s most advanced military command and control plane, the E-4B, in the day’s events and proposes that the horrific incidents were the work of a covert operation staged within elements of the U.S. military and the intelligence community. Presenting hard evidence in the form of proprietary photos taken from raw footage filmed by CNN, the account places the world’s most advanced electronics platform circling over the White House at approximately the time of the Pentagon attack. The argument offers an analysis of the new evidence within the context of the events and shows that it is irreconcilable with the official 9/11 narrative.

As an activist, I have intensely read and studied 911, plus America's situation with regard to economics, politics, world affairs, World Bank, globalization of poverty, peak oil, the coming economic collapse, the US rolling over into the North American Union, and so on for 7 years (including documentaries and films, link TV and free speech TV).
The 911 Mystery Plane is new information to me and is well researched and documented and, starting with page 111, very readable. The details in the first section are dizzying!
However, I was disappointed that much of the book contains discussion on other topics and is covered in other books in even greater detail. Not only that, but why is the mystery plane so important in researching 911? And... wasn't there another account of yet another mysterious white plane flying around Shanksville area just before the "crash" of flight 93? Could the author link those 2 mysterious planes?
If this was the only book that 911 questioners read, then it would be quite valuable. However, for me, I could have done with just the first 110 pages (out of 322) and skipped the rest. I first found compelling evidence about 911 in Feb, 2002 with Mike Ruppert's TRUTH AND LIES OF 911 documentary (still for sale on amazon). I subscribed to his website and bought his huge tome CROSSING THE RUBICON, The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, which I still reread from time to time. To me, Crossing the Rubicon is the ESSENTIAL 911 reader from the point of view of motive, means and opportunity. It is information dense, but extremely worthwhile.

By focusing on the E-4B Doomsday seen over the White House on 9/11,at about the time of the attack on the Pentagon, Mark Gaffney discusses important new evidence, not previously revealed, of government foreknowledge of events on that day . How was the plane in the air after a National Ground Stop? Why did the E-4B not save lives by warning people at the Pentagon of the visible incoming plane? Why was it, in a prohibited area, not shot down by White House defenses? Here are many new issues for Cheney and the plane's passengers to explain. Everyone trying to get to the bottom of 9/11 should read this book, and add their voices to the demand that the new Administration launch a new and genuine investigation.

The Best Evidence Yet on the Goverment's Complicit Actions on 9/11
October 17, 2008
By Marc Starcke
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Mark Gaffney introduces what is probably the most damning evidence pointing to U.S. Government foreknowledge of the attacks on 9/11, especially noting the attack on the Pentagon.Mark explains in a clear and concise way about the timeline and details of what he refers to as the "white mystery plane", which is identified by himself with CNN footage and a report by CNN's John King and Anderson Cooper, as the E-4B "Doomsday" Plane. A "Pentagon in the air" if you will. An airforce Government plane the size of a 747 designed to keep the government running while airborne in light of a nuclear attack or any other potential dire National security problem.
The disturbing facts layed out here leaves a chill down your spine.
With video and photo evidence and CNN and others as witnesses, there is no disputing the fact that this plane was seen flying over the Pentagon and Whitehouse vicinity just as the attack on the Pentagon was occuring or had just occured within seconds.If the Government had the foreknowledge to have a E-4B lifted and arrival over the D.C. restricted air space at the time of the attack, then why did the 9/11 Commission leave this out of their final report?
If Government officials knew of the attack in advance, then they were complicit in not evacuating the Pentagon. The fact is officials already had enough information in advance to order an evacuation. Between the knowledge of hijacked planes,the WTC attacks, in conjunction with our now awareness of the many previous drills on possible attacks on the WTC's and the Pentagon, there is no acceptable excuse.
But this incredible piece of evidence just confirms their frightening complicit actions. There is no way around it now.
These are the questions that Mark asks and expands upon in this book.And as one reviewer before me says, he does it very well. Not only does he present clear and irrefutable evidence based on mainstream reports on the E-4B plane but he presents such information on the hijackers ("the flying patsies" as one chapter is called), the irrefutable evidence in the WTC collapses such as molten steel, whispering dust,the flawed NIST report,and on and on.
But to my biggest surprise of them all, Mark has a whole chapter on "Why the war on terror is a fraud". It is over 30 pages long and reveals how Dick Cheney stated in the late 90's how imposing sanctions (which Clinton did) on Iran "are self defeating" while Cheney's Halliburton was doing business with Iran.
How Iran, in the aftermath of 9/11 handed over (voluntarily as to help) lists of terrorists,intelligence about the Taliban's military assets which included valuable targeting information,and use of Iran's airfields. But in January 2002 just as the Afghanistan was stablizing , GWB made his infamous "Axis of Evil" speech where he included Iran along with North Korea and Iraq.
Since the 1967 Six day war, such President's Carter, Reagan, Bush senior, and Clinton had been regional peace brokers between Israel and the Palestinians. But not George W. Bush, who had a "hands off policy", and was not interested in brokering for peace with Palestine.
Gaffney goes on to explain how Israel PM Ariel Sharon most likely was a big influence since he had entered office in Feb. of 2001, just a month after W. had. Since then, it's been a catastrophe. Sharon proved to be a controversial, & a violent criminal leader.
For instance, Sharon directed a military offensive against Palestine in 2002 while the crown prince of Saudi Arabia,Abdullah - was working out a sweeping peace treaty with Israel.And even worse, Colin Powell was in Israel around this time offering peace talks and a political horizon. But Powell received a call from a Whitehouse official telling him to back off, or more precisely, that Powell was not authorized to talk about a political horizon.
Gaffney explains how Abdullah flew to Texas to confront Bush and to ask him if he was going to do anything about the Palestinian issue. Bush was evasive with his answers in which the crown prince became upset. Bush then made a promise to Abdullah that he would give the issue his upmost consideration which seemed to satisfy the prince.
But not only did Bush abandon this issue, but he also abandoned the peace treaty drafted by Abdullah and went ahead and attacked Iraq.
The most revealing information of all is NOT just how Sharon wrapped Bush around his finger but how Bush's unconditional support for Israel actually began.
A look inside President Bush's "special relationship" to Israel appeared in an Aug. 3, 2006 McClatchy wire story by Ron Hutcheson. Hutcheson interviewed Matthew Brooks, who was the executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition in 1998, when he escorted then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush and three other GOP governors on a tour of the Middle East. It was on this trip that Bush had his first encounter with Ariel Sharon, then the Israeli Foreign Minister, who took him on a helicopter tour of the Israeli Occupied Territories.
"If there's a starting point for George W. Bush's attachment to Israel," Brooks told Hutcheson, "it's the day in late 1998, when he stood on a hilltop where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, and, eyes brimming with tears, read aloud from his favorite hymn, `Amazing Grace.' He was very emotional. It was a tear-filled experience. He brought Israel back home with him in his heart. I think he came away profoundly moved."
Author Mark Gaffney ends this chilling chapter with this sobering thought:
(I added the quotation marks)
"Need I remind the reader the disatrous quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, the looming crisis with Iran, the slumping U.S. dollar and economy, not to mention the skyrocketing price of gas at the pump, all resulted from the pivotal activities of September 11 and it's mysterious white plane"?
I have read half a dozen or more books related to 9/11 government complicity but no other book puts the chilling effects of it all in full context except for maybe Dr. David Ray Griffith's books, whom by the way does the foward on this book.
Last but not least. Go see Bill Maher's RELIGULOUS (at least the final 5 minutes or so) and watch and listen to what Maher has to say and, whether you practice a faith or not, please take in what he has to say along with this fantastic book and the other related books, films,and articles and piece together yourself -- the armageddon agenda -- whether intentional or not, that these leaders have put forth to many unbeknownst citizens who remain alseep to what has and is going on around them.
