JFK Passenger Planes To Get Anti-Missile Systems

Jpass's picture

This caught my eye the other day. I've become hyper-sensitive to stories that involve strapping new 'systems' to the under-belly of passenger planes.

Check it out...

NEW YORK - Anti-missile systems will be put on several passenger planes flying in and out of John F. Kennedy Airport, U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials said Friday. JFK Planes To Get Pilot Anti-Missile Systems

The program is a test to see if the anti-missile systems are effective in helping prevent a terrorist from using a shoulder-fired missile to shoot down a passenger jet.

Shoulder fired missiles can be referred to as MANPADS, man portable air defense systems. Three of the anti-missile systems will be placed on American Airlines flights flying between JFK and airports in California, officials said. It is the first time passenger planes will be outfitted with the technology. Military jets have the equipment and there were recent tests on non-passenger cargo flights. "This is phase three of Congressionally mandated testing to determine the suitability of these systems," said DHS spokeswoman Amy Kudwa. The anti-missile system, which can be attached underneath the aircraft, amounts to a jamming device that works to send a heat seeking missile off course. In recent years, the FBI has conducted sting operations in Albany and Newark where several men were charged for trying to obtain or smuggle shoulder-fired missiles into the U.S. DHS officials stress there has not been an attempted missile strike on an aircraft inside the U.S. But there have been numerous incidents overseas. Representative Christopher Shays (R-CT), who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, said this next round of testing using passenger aircraft is appropriate.

I believe AA 587 was shot down

Shortly after the crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in New York, there was a report on the radio describing the search of a home in northern Pennsylvania (IIRC) by federal agents. This was during the anthrax terrorism, so it was significant that the agents were not wearing any protective clothing. The report said they removed an long cylindrical object from the house. The object was covered in two trash bags taped end-to-end. It was placed in the back seat of a sedan which drove away. The residents were described as young "Middle Eastern" (wink, wink) men.

The first reports of the plane crash indicated that one of the engines was pierced by some kind of projectile. The contingent "explanation" was that some kind of mechanical failure cause the hole. The description I heard made me think it was likely some kind of weapon. It is not what I would have expected from a stinger-type missile, but it is not out of the range of possibilities.

Unfortunately I cannot provide solid references for either of these reports. I did not take notes. At the time I had assumed more information would be forthcoming.

i also found the coincidence suspicious

My working theory would be that the middle eastern (wink wink) men were probably trying to make it seem like 9/11 was "just the beginning" but that certain people stood their ground and said no. Similar to how the dancing Israelis had hoped to frame Palestinians but that didn't seem to fly.

Basically I think a lot of people are afraid of exposing Israel for various reasons (personal, or concern about a real global backlash against all Jewish people) and that the Israelis are therefore dteermined to push the envelope as far as it will go. Each time a different excuse is made for them as a compromise. It's kind of like playing chicken with the whole world I guess. The fact that they have American traitors on the inside and at the top for that matter doesn't hurt.

We have the best goverment extortion can rule

If you are not familiar with the "Franklin Cover-up", I suggest you look into it. I suspect it will provide the most important clues as to how "our" government is compromised.

Conspiracy of Silence, a documentary listed for viewing in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on May 3 1994. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. Many children suffered the indignity of wearing nothing but their underwear and a number displayed on a piece of cardboard hanging from their necks when being auctioned off to foreigners in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Toronto, Canada. At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired. Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who ordered all copies destroyed.

A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired FBI Agent Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by its participants involved.

i don't find this convincing

In fact it strikes me as a pretty bad forgery. All that fake "noise" superimposed on the video, the overexposed shots, the bad acting the same repeating "minor chord of intrigue". How interesting...

who is the NY Times owned by

..apparently they reported on this stuff too. dug this out of my old computer's hard drive cuz i remembered reading it once a few years ago and finding it interesting, and now wouldn't you know it, the old boy took / is taking his site down?
Now don't shill-ify me for posting this stuff; I don't swear by it, but I don't have any strong reason to doubt it either. I hope you will enjoy / be horrified by the following reading:

sure, everything is suspect, but that doesn't necessarily make it untrue.  all's i'm saying
is, who the hell knows?  i try to keep an open mind until proven
otherwise.  and i don't know but this stuff wouldn't shock me in the
least, look at the whole jeff gannon thing...

and by the way, next time you think your job sucks, that's me on the right:

There IS an inky many-tentacled monster.

What exactly it looks like is a big question. As always, when something nefarious and high-level involving the US government has taken place over the past 60+ years, the question to ask is "where was Heinz?"

Do not ignore this sage advice!

In the case of the Franklin Cover-up think "Ernst Röhm". I'm not saying I know for a fact that all of this fits together, but I am saying the pieces are in the right place, and the pieces are very real.

I wonder how many times this has happened

It would be interesting to compile all the instances in which an attempt was made by "Middle Eastern looking" (wink wink) men to frame Arabs/Muslims for a terrorist attack but certain American officials wouldn't cooperate to allow things to proceed to the point of war or retaliation against the framed targeted Arab/Muslim country. I seem to recall the OKC bombing was being setup to be pinned on the Iraqi National Guard, but the Clinton administration decided to pin it on the patriot movement instead. Was that why Clinton had to be impeached? Did he betray his Aipac puppet masters? The attack on the US Liberty in 1967 was obviously an attempt to get the US to go to war against Egypt. On 9/11 several Israel...er..."Middle Eastern" (we are not your problem, the Palestinians are your problem) men in white vans full of explosives were apparently planning on blowing up tunnels/bridges. What about TWA 800? Was it an Israel...er..."Middle Eastern looking" perpetrator with a missile as well? Hmmm...
