9/11 Text Messages Released: Wikileaks Publishes Intercepted Government Pager Texts As They Were Sent

First Posted: 03/18/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 03:45 PM ET

Nine Eleven

Government employees sent more than 500,000 text pager messages In the hours before and after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. At 3 a.m. (EST) Wednesday, November 25, those intercepted messages will be published online at Wikileaks. The messages will be published at the same times that they were originally sent on 9/11.

Wikileaks, a journalistic endeavor that promotes better government through transparency , says that the messages were intercepted by a organization that has been archiving US telecommunications prior to 9/11. Wikileaks says that the sources of the messages range from Pentagon employees to messages sent by the NYPD, and even automated messages relayed by computers to their operators.

Below are examples of what Wikileaks will publish. Visit their site for more information.

Re. " I despise 9/11 "truther" conspiracies. Indeed, one of the guidelines for bloggers on HuffPost is a ban on posts putting forth those kinds of theories. And it was stupid of Van to put his name on a very stupid "9/11 Truth Statement." I've spoken to Van. He doesn't believe that the Bush administration orchestrated the 9/11 attacks or allowed the attacks to happen in a cold-hearted attempt to gin up support. The 9/11 "Truthers" are fringe-dwellers and Van was completely wrong to allow himself to be associated with them."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/thank-you-glenn-beck_b_278839.html

Did Arianna apologize to the Truthers, or officially retract the idea censorship policy described above?

And what about Van Jones? What's he think now? He was basically fired over this, (even though it had nothing to do with stimulating the economy with Green Jobs) and no one would back him up, except to make up excuses and apologies which were not due, and not true. All you had to do is point to the memo warning of an imminent attack, but no, let's cave in so we don't look whacky. Oh wait, maybe it's not all that whacky... great!

David Ray Griffin, who doesn’t have a hysterical bone in his body, approached 9-11 using the scientific reasoning method and began filling in the facts. Nine books later he is the acknowledged expert on 9-11, and the best investigative writer ever to tackle the subject.
The world owes him a great debt.
He has done the investigative work and accumulated the facts for the media. (They will not print the truth.) He has done the investigative work and accumulated the facts for the legal community. (They will not indict.)
The dissemination and execution of these two things in the public realm are of utmost importance to a Republic.
If one had a question about David Ray Griffin, it would be would be why the people behind the curtain allowed him to continue writing.
Did they consider themselves so much smarter and above the rest that it didn’t occur to them that someone like him would emerge from the Twin Towers’ dust and obfuscation?
Did they think they could match his facts with propaganda, disinformation, or writers on their payroll?
They tried and failed.
None of his early books were reviewed.
They became best sellers by word of mouth.

If you want to know the truth about 9/11, start here:

It's not that they consider themselves smarter so much (although they do i'm sure) it's that they are just so powerful, and the operation that day was so successfull, and they have intimidated anyone with any firsthand knowledge of the event who isn't on their side so well, that they don't feel the need to even really cover up the crime any more.
They did all the "heavy lifting" of covering for themselves in the first six months after 9/11/01. They (chenney, to put a name on one who's really in-the-know) waited to see the level of outrage from the public, when none came, they knew they were home free.
Unlike the Kennedy assassination for example, no matter how much information came out to make the "official" story seem silly, the american people didn't seem to care - didn't seem to want to know about it. We get to the point where Dana Parino feels free this week to make the statement on T.V. that no terrorist attacks occured in the U.S. on Bush's watch when I can think of at least three right off the top of my head.

Allow me to re-state a point I tried to make earlier in this thread:
Any details of an event you do not witness yourself must come form somebody else or some other source. Of course phtographic evidence is the next best thing to rely on. Almost all (but not 100%) agree the video of planes hitting the towers on 9/11/01 is real. Fine.
When it comes to any information about the passengers (including the hijackers) on the three planes that hit buildings that day the information gets much murkier.
Either you, as an individual trust the people (information source) telling you just who was on those planes, or you don't so much. The idea that information that we as "average" citizens got that day (and continue to get), from the news media and their government "sources" and spokespeople was honest and reliable is completely up to the faith of each person.
An event occured. The news media told us details of those events based on those "in the know." Whether any individual wants to trust that information, those "sources," is completely up to each individual. Just because a certain source holds an established position of authority doesn't automatically make them honest.
There is no absolute "Tuth."

So thanks, Huffp0, for bringing this story & allowing a civiI discussion about it.

Helen? No answer? I asked you how you knew the Pentagon plane was blown out of the sky and how you knew there was no debris. That's very specific information, so what happened? And I also asked someone else about conversations that some of the passengers on all the planes had over cell phones with their relatives. You said your cell phone doesn't work on a plane. So the relatives are lying about those conversations?

Ya know, I was just thinking how I had stopped coming to HP because of their policy of not allowing free discussion on this topic. It wasn't until I saw a posting on my site that I came to take a look see. And behold, here we are!

Has the tide turned? Dare I say that with the flood of information now breaking, will other taboo subjects now be allowed? Depleted Uranium, soft-kill bio-weapons, eugenics, and more crimes that are being committed by the most evil band of psychopaths to have ever gained world power, can we talk? Can we?

Yes, for whatever reason, thank you HP for allowing a free intelligent discussion on this most important topic. This, is one good reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving.

One should not fear truth as much as one should fear not knowing it.

Did you miss my question to you about the Pentagon plane? I said previously if it didn't hit the Pentagon, then what happened to it. You replied it was "blown out of the sky" and there was no debris. Again, your basis for this statement?
11:28 PM on 11/25/2009
look i'll answer for helen --

the plane that crashed into the ground ---was way off course and crashed in the middle of nowhere ---the pilots lost control and down it went ----

is it possible the "pentagon plane " was similarly way off course and perhaps its intended target was not the pentagon ----is it possible the off- course direction took it way out over the ocean and an on board fight resulted in loss of control and plunge into the ocean without a trace because no one looked for debris.

is it a possibility???

Damage Control (aka 'cessnadriver') seems to have an unhealthy interest in defending the official story. I mean, it's one thing to disagree with some of the claims being made, but it really makes no sense to go to such lengths cessna.

I'd say it takes a lot of time, determination, and vested interest to post 47+ comments on this article alone (as of 7:15 CST). I could never spend so much time and energy defending a weak govt claim. Seems that one would actually have to get PAID to do something so ridiculous.

Most of us 'truthers' stared out believing and accepting the official 9/11 story put out by the government and the MSM... but eventually, the mounting "coincidences" and evidence contradicting the official story made it impossible for people with open minds to continue believing a lie.

Well said and spot on. I never considered myself a conspiracy theorist - and still don't. Notice that the MSM and gov't has made darn sure that anyone who questions the gov't's conclusions about 9-1-1 is labeled a cr@zy conspiracy theorist, so that no discussion can continue. Meanwhile, there are a lot of us out there who are just super curious, and want actual answers, not the b.s. that we're being handed.

The gov't version of 9-1-1 asks us to believe that Mohammad Atta's passp0rt was found in the debris from the tower! OH how convenient. They want us to shut up about the fact that records destr0yed in Tower 7 were crucial, and that 2.7 miIIion went missing just before 9-1-1 - aII Rummy/Cheney's doing.

No debr!s from Flight 93. Really?

Towers coIIapsing because the upper floors are on fire? REally?

Then there are photos of sheared beams, the fact they hauIed the remains off to China so there would be no scrutiny, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

But let's make it clear that it was 2.7 TRILLION that went missing. To say that a lot can be bought with that kind of money would be a severe understatement.

Might as well watch Disney!!

_____________________________________________

First of all, MSNBC does not EVER and I mean EVER talk about any conspiracy theories surrounding 9-1-1. At least that I've seen. Second, I don't get my news from television. I get it online, unless it's CSpan, I don't really trust it. Third, why do you assume I got my news from MSNBC? Pretty big (and wrong) assumption.

Maybe if you did some research instead of bIasting others for doing so, you'd grow a usefuI brain cell or two. But I'm not hoIding my breath.

Finally, I never, EVER bought the WMD claim BECAUSE I get my news from reliable sources that have always ended up being proven right. Both the shrub and CoIin PoweII have since admitted it was a farce and PoweII especially is ashamed of his dog and pony show with the wh!te powder.

You're just one of the dupes. Good luck with that.

' Too many "coinciden­ces." '

Some guy who served in a top secret radar installation while in the USMC defects to the Soviet Union, wants to come back to the US a couple of years later and the State Dept. pays his airfare. He brings along a Russian wife who apparently had no difficulty getting permission from the Kremlin to leave the country.

He winds up with a job in a building that provides him with a great sniper's perch when the President's motorcade passes by a few months later.

A couple of days after that the police parade him for the press, giving some other lowlife a perfect opportunity to step right up to him and silence him.

I'm just about co-incidenced out for one lifetime.
