July 17, 2004 Springtown, Texas - Jim Marrs has been tracking down facts and trying to make sense of political stories in America since his college days as a journalism major at North Texas University in Denton. He graduated in 1966 and began a newspaper reporting and editing career at the Denton Record Chronicle, Lubbock Avalanche Journal and Fortworth-Star Telegram where he was an investigative reporter, cartoonist and earned photography awards. By 1988, he decided that he had to put his big file about President John F. Kennedy's assassination into a book called Crossfire. Two months after its release in 1989, Jim received a call from Hollywood film director, Oliver Stone, who wanted to option Crossfire for the movie that became JFK. Jim Marrs began asking book editors and others what each thought was the next big, deep, dark, secret government cover-up beyond the JFK assassination. Unanimously, he says, the answer was UFOs. That's what lead Jim to write his second book, The Alien Agenda. When that book was published in 1997, Jim did not realize that he was beginning to produce what some would later call his "trilogy." Alien Agenda raised the question: Who would speak for earth if non-humans finally arrived in public? Trying to answer that question, lead Jim to write Rule By Secrecy published in 2002. In that important book, Jim Marrs made links between the money-power elite of America with the money-power elite of Europe back to the money-power elite of Mesopotamia which might have been linked to control and manipulation by non-human entities with their own agendas on this planet. Crossfire, Alien Agenda and Rule By Secrecy. Now Jim Marrs has produced a fourth book that extends his historical revelations to more revelations about the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The title is Inside Job ­ Unmasking the 9/11 Conspiracies. This week I asked Jim if this time he consciously wrote Inside Job as an extension of Rule By Secrecy? Interview: By Linda Multon Howe Jim Marrs, Journalist and Author, Springtown, Texas: "Actually, it is. In fact, I've been contacted by so many people who said, 'Holy cow, after reading Rule by Secrecy,' and then watching 9/11 unfold, it's just like they are following a game plan, following the same old M.O. And it's true. Once you understand how they operate, this is exactly the way they do things. You create a problem and then you offer a draconian solution to that problem. Then when the civil libertarians yell and scream and you water it down a little bit and it goes on through and you've accomplished what you wanted in the first place. NORAD-Northeast War Game Exercise On September 11, 2004 LET'S GO TO ONE OF THE MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR BOOK WHICH IS YOUR INVESTIGATION OF WHAT WAS GOING ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, WHICH COULD EXPLAIN WHAT IS A STAGGERING FACT TO MOST EVERYONE ELSE ­ THAT NO ONE SEEMED TO BE PROTECTING ANY OF THE BORDERS OF THE UNITED STATES ON THAT DAY WITH MUCH OF ANYTHING THAT HAD FIREPOWER. That's true. In fact, I think that has been one of the greatest puzzles, mysteries that has come out of 9/11 was where was our normal defense systems? I can remember growing up during the Cold War and we were constantly assured that not one Russian bomber was coming across the North Pole and down through Canada without it triggering our NORAD defenses ­ the North American Air Defense Command. And that we would have fighters stopping them before they even got to the U. S. border. Then to add to this to show that even after the Cold War collapsed ­ let's go to 1999 when the golfer Payne Stewart's Lear jet suffered an oxygen deprivation problem. Apparently everyone onboard died or passed out and it went off course. Twelve minutes later, there were jet interceptors all over Payne Stewart's Lear jet. They tracked it all day, if you remember. And they were prepared to shoot it down if it looked like it was going to crash into a populated area, but as it happened it crashed in an unpopulated area, so they just trailed it and let it crash. That was well covered in the media. Twelve minutes (escort jets arrived after the Lear jet was in trouble.) Now on September 11, 2001, you've got four commercial airliners hijacked, off course, OK? And no planes are even sent into the air for 35 minutes! AND THOSE THAT WERE WEREN'T EVEN LOADED WITH WEAPONS THAT COULD FIRE ANYTHING. That's right. Plus, sent from air bases much farther away from New York and Washington. For example, at Andrews AFB which is about ten minutes from the White House and Capitol, there are two squadrons of interceptors on 24-hour duty at all times. Washington, D. C., is one of the most protected air spaces in the world. OR IS SUPPOSED TO BE! Yeah, but when they finally scramble planes, they come from Otis AFB, (Bourne, Mass)OK? So, what is with all this? Well, in my book, Inside Job, I think I have provided the answer. But of course it only raises more questions. The answer is not only to the lack of interceptor response, but also to the fact that President Bush continued to sit reading a story about a goat to school children, even after he had been informed that a second plane had crashed into the World Trade Center and that obviously America was under attack. There is also the fact that NORAD-Northeast was conducting war game exercises that morning, a fact that has been very little talked about and certainly not reported to the general public. What's also not been reported, according to the information that I have, at least one of the scenarios they were considering in their war game exercises concerned hijacked aircraft being crashed into buildings. Now, this could explain the lack of response when the air traffic controllers began to report that four planes were off course, when the Pentagon began to get the word that planes had been hijacked, when President Bush got the word that a second plane had crashed into the World Trade Center ­ they were probably all going, 'Oh, well, it's just part of these exercises.' Hijacked Aircraft "Bombs" Flying Into Buildings Were Military Concern Before 9/11 JIM, DOESN'T THAT MAKE CONDI RICE AND THE ADMINISTRATION SUCH AS THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT AND THE PRESIDENT'S EXECUTIVE WING LIARS WHEN THEY HAVE GONE BEFORE CONGRESS SAYING THEY HAD NEVER CONTEMPLATED THAT ANYONE WOULD BE USING LOADED AIRLINERS? Oh, that's an out and out lie, period! The people who were designing these war games way back in 2000 and early 2001 ­ and this has been documented and published ­ they had tried to put forth scenarios of hijacked aircraft being flown into buildings. But they were told that they (gov't) did not want those scenarios. Although, my information is they were using such a scenario on September 11, 2001. You can also go back to the mid-1990s when the Philippine authorities busted an Al Qaeda cell in the Philippines and found the plans for Operation Bojinka, which involved hijacking airplanes and flying them into prominent buildings. So, the statement that nobody knew that they would hijack airplanes and fly them into buildings is just an outright lie. If indeed, the lack of response on 9/11 was due to the fact that NORAD ­ Northeast was having war game exercises ­ then why in the heck haven't the powers that be made that public? RIGHT. And if it sounds like, 'Well, we were kind of caught off guard and it was a kind of embarrassing thing,' then at least why haven't they leaked the war game information? OK? And the reason is very simple: the day before on September 10, 2001, the National Security Agency (NSA) intercepted an electronic message from Mohammed Atta, who has been identified as a leader of the hijackers. His message stated, 'The match is about to begin. Tomorrow is zero hour.' Hello? 'Match.' That sounds like another synonym for a game, right? So, they knew these games were going on. Of course, if the administration and government admits that their lack of response was due to the fact that these war games were going on, then the immediate next question is: How did the hijackers know when to coordinate their attack with these war games? The answer to that implies that this was an inside job. Somebody passed that information. THEY WANTED TO USE WAR GAMES AS A COVER AND INTERFERENCE, SOMETHING THAT WOULD MUDDY THE WATERS? Exactly, to slow down ­ to accomplish exactly what it did which was to slow down and baffle a meaningful and immediate response which would then create greater casualties and greater terror. When you look at that particular aspect, the fact that some how those hijackers knew that these war game exercises were taking place. Then you couple that with all of the information that was flowing upward from the CIA and FBI about the probability, the impending attacks by Al Qaeda, then all of a sudden, it becomes overwhelming that Somebody HIGH within the powers of the federal government knew exactly what was going to happen. And they allowed it to happen to further their own political purposes. And unfortunately, that's the best light you can put on it. Destroyed World Trade Towers' Metal and Debris Evidence Sold for Scrap WE KNOW NOW THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION OR ANY OF THE REASONS GIVEN FOR INVASION IN IRAQ. WHICH BRINGS ME BACK, JIM, TO THE WHOLE ISSUE OF A CONTEXT OF FOREKNOWLEDGE THAT IS IMPLIED IN SOME OF THE EMERGING FACTS ABOUT SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. THIS IS AN AREA IN YOUR BOOK THAT I FOUND PERSONALLY TO BE QUITE SURPRISING. AND I'M NOW ON PAGES 44 TO 45 AND THIS IS YOUR DISCUSSION ABOUT BILL MANNING, EDITOR OF THE 125-YEAR-OLD FIREMEN'S PUBLICATION CALLED FIRE ENGINEERING. YOU ARE QUOTING FROM ITS JANUARY 2002 ISSUE RIGHT AFTER 9/11. AND IN THIS, YOU ARE SAYING THAT BILL MANNING WROTE, 'FOR MORE THAN THREE MONTHS, STRUCTURAL STEEL FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE CUT UP AND SOLD FOR SCRAP.' COULD YOU PLEASE ADDRESS THIS AMAZING QUESTION: HOW COULD THE HARD PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF TWO HUGE SKYSCRAPERS THAT MELTED TO THE GROUND, THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE, HAVE BEEN SOLD? WHY WOULDN'T ALL THAT PHYSICAL EVIDENCE HAVE BEEN KEPT THE WAY WE KEEP AIRPLANE CRASHES? Exactly. In fact, several prominent national fire officials noted that the World Trade Center disaster was the largest loss of firefighters EVER in one incident. It was the second largest loss of life on American soil ­ I think the first was the hurricane in Galveston back in 1904 or something like that. It was also the first total collapse of a high-rise building during fire in United States history, and it was the largest structural collapse in recorded history! Now, you would think that you would want to hang on to all of that evidence and all of that metal and all of that dust and debris and study it to make sure that what the heck happened does not happen again. But, no! They immediately hauled it away, sold it as scrap overseas and took it to guarded sites where nobody could get into get specimens. I even heard a story that they had GPS tracking devices on the trucks hauling the debris out of there so they could keep absolutely total control and knowledge over where they were going and what was happening. This was nothing more, Linda, than blatant destruction of evidence. It was the same thing that happened at the Oklahoma City federal building bombing. It was the same M. O. at the Waco deaths. The federal government comes in and cleans it all up, sweeps it all away, scrapes the ground, and there is nothing left to study that might provide information to contradict the official story. Other Explosions On Lower Floors in World Trade Towers? THERE WAS ANOTHER PARAGRAPH THAT YOU HIGHLIGHTED ON PAGE 47 THAT I THOUGHT WAS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT AND THIS WAS FROM YOUR RESEARCH OF JIM HOFFMAN'S WEBSITE, 911research.wtc7.net. I'M QUOTING ACCORDING TO HOFFMAN, 'THERE IS NO GRAVITY COLLAPSE SCENARIO OR PROBABLE EXPLANATION BY FIRE THAT CAN ACCOUNT FOR THE COMPLETE LEVELING OF THE MASSIVE COLUMNS THAT COMPRISED THE TOWERS' CORES OR THE RIPPING APART OF THEIR STURDY PERIMETER WALLS. AND IF NOT, WHAT SCENARIO DOES EXPLAIN THIS?' Well, the scenario that explains it, of course, is a controlled demolition. From Day One ­ you got to understand as a newspaper reporter, I've covered more than half a dozen major building demolitions. They are always great news locally because the TV cameras can get out there and watch these huge buildings just collapse in a pile of debris and smoke. But as a newspaper reporter, I had to go further. I couldn't just show a picture, so I had to interview all of the demolition experts. They made it very clear to me unanimously that a modern steel and concrete building does not simply blow up. You have top use certain types of explosives, they have to be placed in just certain critical areas, they have to be set off in just a certain timing. It's a very tedious and very complex and detailed process. You don't just put some explosive up next to a wall and blow a building down. It just doesn't happen! So, in the case of the WTC, though, what we see is all of the earmarks of a classic demolition. In fact, some of the nation's most knowledgeable demolition experts and I quote one or two of them in my book, Inside Job, in the day or two afterwards said, 'This looked to be like a building demolition.' But then apparently someone talked to them and they began to change their story and say, 'Well, we didn't have all the evidence,' and began to backpedal. Also, I am more firmly convinced now than then because I've had the opportunity to study the films and videos of those buildings coming down. If you look closely, what you will see is on the floors BELOW where the building is collapsing, you can see blasts of smoke and debris coming out the sides of the building throwing debris hundreds of feet out into the air. That is obvious proof that there is some sort of extreme pressurized explosion taking place within the building. These are the floors blowing as they go down. I quote probably a dozen people in my book, Inside Job, who said there were a number of explosions. I quote one fellow who was in the stairwell of the South Tower who said they heard an explosion from BELOW them and that debris and smoke was blowing UP the stairwell. Ellen Mariani, Widow of 9/11 Victim, Joins Lawsuit Against Bush Administration I THOUGHT A VERY STRONG PART OF YOUR BOOK, INSIDE JOB ­ UNMASKING THE 9/11 CONSPIRACIES ­ IS THE PREFACE BY ELLEN MARIANI (WIDOW OF LOUIS NEIL MARIANI OF DERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE). SHE HAS A LAWSUIT THAT IS IN THE WORKS AND I WONDERED IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN TO VIEWERS AND LISTENERS THE ROLE OF ELLEN MARIANI RIGHT NOW? This is quite humorously ironic to me because the information for my book, Inside Job ­ I had finished in 2002. This should have been made public to everyone in this country and if everyone had had access to this information in 2002, there might not have been an invasion of Iraq in 2003. But, the reason they did not get it is that I had a contract with Harper Collins, a major publisher in New York. This book had passed the legal review, they had given me the cover of the book and it was all set to go when a senior executive canceled the book saying she did not want to upset the family members of 9/11 victims. So, I find it tremendously ironic that Ellen Mariani wrote the Preface to the re-worked version of the original Harper Collins book now entitled Inside Job because Ellen Mariani IS the wife of a 9/11 victim. As you pointed out, she is being joined by others now to sue President Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and even the Council on Foreign Relations for having foreknowledge of the event and for taking no steps to prevent this loss of life. They are not the only ones. There is another group of 9/11 families ­ some 400 families ­ who are now involved in a TRILLION DOLLAR lawsuit against the government of Saudi Arabia, claiming that they are truly behind the 9/11 attacks. The evidence increasingly points that way. Even the 9/11 Commission working as hard as they can not to come up with any real truthful solutions has been forced to admit the role of the Saudis in all this. Of course, the Bush Administration ­ their biggest concern about the 9/11 report is the section that would tie the Bushes, Cheney, Halliburton, to the Saudis. Again, it doesn't take rocket scientists or huge inside knowledge to figure all this out. CIA Created Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda Who created the Al Qaeda terror network? The CIA back in the 1980s to send into Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. Who created Osama Bin Laden? The CIA back in the 1980s when they brought him here under the name 'Tim Osmond' and provided him with guns and ammunition and wherewithal to create the Al Qaeda network and go fight the Russians in Afghanistan. This is historical fact. AND HE IS SAUDI ARABIAN WITH SAUDI ARABIAN MONEY. Exactly! Exactly! And who are the closest friends in business and social partners to the Saudis but the Bush family. There is the Carlyle Group that Bush Senior has been a big part of and the inner-business connections that go on. Again, we also know right now that Halliburton is taking U. S. tax money and paying truck drivers $100,000/year TAX FREE, plus medical and retirement benefits to go over to Iraq to drive trucks. Wait a minute. Number One, that sounds like a military duty. Why don't w have our poorly paid reservist driving those trucks at a fraction of the cost that we're paying Halliburton to get those truck drivers? Or, if you want to look at it from another way ­ considering that our military people are grossly underpaid and have minimal health care benefits. In fact, wounded GIs from Iraq and Afghanistan arrive over here and are sent to V. A. hospitals are forced to pay for their own food. Why don't we pay THEM the $100,000/year plus all the great benefits to drive trucks in Iraq? But, of course, if we did that that money would not pass through Halliburton, Dick Cheney's old company. In fact, there is now rumblings ­ I got a news story yesterday that there is the real possibility of criminal charges being filed against Dick Cheney because of the role of Halliburton in all of this. Apparently he was instrumental in getting Halliburton this no competitive government contract to do all this work in Iraq ­ the very war he was instrumental in drumming up. It was Dick Cheney, even more than George Bush, who kept maintaining they had weapons of mass destruction and that we had to go into Iraq and do all this stuff."
