9/11 Warning DON'T FLY 9 Days Before it Happened. *****MUST READ*****

Never. He's my buddy's friend. And my friend says he's a good guy.

I've thought about it long and hard...what could he have done really? It seems he was simply one of many who had at least some idea ahead of time of a much, much larger, deeper, sinister plot planned by elements within (and outside) our own country.

Bollocks I'm afraid.

If somebody said "anytime soon" to me as a warning, how do I interpret that? A couple of days? A week? Couple of weeks?

It's vague enough to actually count for nothing. If the dude really wanted to save his friend he would have been a little clearer, eg "let me know before you book any flights and I'll give you a heads-up at the time". Now that would be useful.

Non-story I'm afraid.

Perhaps even

A good guy? He sounds like a fucking terrorist you twat.

Sounds like a priori knowledge to me.

OP it just confirms what many 'thinking' people believe, and the others you will never convince.

I would love to see the truth come out about September 11, whatever it is, but do you really think it will happen?

What do we do about the state of our world???

I don't think you know what a priori knowledge is....

Anyway, your story cannot be verified...

Of course it can't be. It's something that happened 11 years ago. What story regarding such an issue could be, and by whom?

It is the truth. You can make of it what you will. I think what one can come away with from it (what I have anyway) is that 9/11 was allowed to happen, and when you delve deeper into researching it, you see that roadblocks to its successful execution were, indeed, removed, and preemptive evidence and "villains" planted and staged. Able Danger. The August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing Memo. On and on.

Indeed, I agree that 9/11 is an inside job. There is plenty of evidence. Enough evidence that it is beyond reasonable doubt. Your story, however, is not useful in any way.

OP, you bumped your own thread so much that your girlfriend would be jealous - that is, if you had one.

Personally, I think this is probably a true story.

Thing with me is, since 9/11 I have quit beleiving most everything that is told to me. Especially on TV "news".

Anyone with half a brain knew it was coming.It was plastered all over the place.Jeez.

The public did not know it was coming. Remember what the headlines that summer of 2001 were? It was the tardiness of commercial airlines, and shark attacks in Florida (even though they weren't any more frequent than other years).

Easy to be a Monday morning quarterback and say that "everyone knew". The fact is, the public did NOT know. Supposed Islamic terrorism in the years just before had been overseas -- the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, and the U.S.S. Cole bombing on Oct. 17, 2000.

I was in the navy, and we were told our "short" outing might go long.

It did, when 9/11 happened.

Good thing I had packed extra undies, we were out at sea for 45 days.

This is absolutely true.

A friend of mine knows a guy who worked for a branch of U.S. intelligence. (At the time of this event, this guy no longer worked in intelligence, but you know what they say: "Once (fill in the blank), always (fill in the blank))." I know which branch it was, but I'm not going to say. Hint: Not CIA, FBI, or NSA. That's all I'll say.

Anyway, my friend took a vacation to Hawai'i from August 20-31, 2001. Upon returning, he was online on the evening of Sept 2, 2001, and saw that his friend (the ex-intel guy) was online on his AOL buddy list.

My friend contacted his buddy to say hi and tell him about his trip to Hawai'i. After telling him about his vacation, my friend's friend (the ex-intel guy) asked him, "Got any other trips planned?" My friend answered, "No. Why?" The ex-intel guy answered, "Well...you're not going to want to fly from east to west anytime soon." My friend said he laughed at the cryptic nature of this statement; sort of half nervously, half in disbelief. He said, "What?" The ex-intel guy said, "I've told you things in the past that proved to be true, right?" My friend answered, "Yes." The ex-intel guy then repeated, "Well then listen to me....you're not going to want to fly from east to west anytime soon."

At this point, my friend didn't really know what to think, but he remembers not taking this really seriously. After all, what was he to think? They moved on to other topics of conversation.

Fast forward 9 nine days -- 9/11 -- all 4 "hijacked" flights were flying from east to west.

My friend did not recall this cryptic "warning" until several months after 9/11. He contacted his friend, the ex-intel guy, and asked him, "Hey, I remember what you said in early September. How did you know?"

The ex-intel guy said, "What do you mean?" My friend said, "Your don't fly from east to west warning." The guy said, "Huh?" as if he didn't remember. My friend said, "Come on, man. How did you know about 9/11 beforehand?" The guy said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't know about it beforehand."

My friend says he pushed and pushed for weeks, months, and every now and then, years after, but the ex-intel guy maintains he knew nothing beforehand, and won't talk about it much. He said they might talk cursorily about 9/11, but when my friend presses him about how he knew, the conversation stops, or is politely steered elsewhere.

My friend asked me what I thought about this.

I told him that it sounds like the guy knew ahead of time; probably from a tip from a friend of his who was still in this branch of intel that he used to be in. It's not like people sever ties when they move on from a line of work such as this. To the contrary, deep, lasting ties are made in such branches of work.

I further told my friend that it sounds like the ex-intel guy gave him a friendly warning, but made it vague enough so that he couldn't be accused of having prior knowledge of the event. My friend travels a lot, and his ex-intel friend knew this, so he wanted to give him a heads up, without being TOO specific, which could lead to a visit from the FBI or whomever.

Anyway, that's the absolute truth. Make it of what you will.

Personally, I KNOW (as I'm sure most of you do) that people had prior knowledge. (And I don't mean I "suspect". I mean I KNOW. The facts are to be found if you look hard enough). It's simply a matter of who knew and for how long beforehand.
