The soul shaking truth about the attacks of 9/11.
"Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United States?" - Osama Bin Laden

An enormous number of Americans are STILL under the impression that the "official" 9/11 story is true.

It is not.

AS WE MOURN THE VICTIMS, LET US NOT ALSO HAVE TO MOURN THE LOSS OF TRUTH.

Were these the days before the internet, before professionals all over the world could participate in virtual meetings, to compare evidence and present scientific hypothesis for critical peer review, thereby radically compressing the amount of time required to complete a staggeringly thorough forensic examination, the real perpretrators of this abomination likely could have pulled this False Flag operation off undetected, and the "official" story, which has now been totally discredited, would be the one that stands.

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities.

There exists a veritable MOUNTAIN of research, data accumulated by doggedly intrepid scientists, engineers, pilots, exotic weaponry and munitions specialists, controlled demolition personnel, and specialists in related investigatory fields, over a period of more than a decade and augmented by information provided to them by military and government whistle-blowers.

We'll let you hear from some experts first.
Over 1500 Architects and Engineers have joined together to get this information out.
In a short video, narrated by Ed Asner, you're going to hear about Building 7, the last one to fall.

Building 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was part of the World Trade Center complex.
It collapsed at 5:20 pm on September 11, 2001.
It was not hit by an airplane and suffered minimal damage compared to other buildings much closer to the Twin Towers.

The Architects and Engineers in this short video are going to tell you WHY it fell. The full length film, from which this excerpt was taken, "9/11: EXPLOSIVE EVIDENCE - EXPERTS SPEAK OUT" was aired on PBS in August 2012. Response was so overwhelming that the station aired it a second time and placed a link to the taped program on their web page. Over 40 experts in the fields of structural engineering, high-rise architecture, physics, chemistry and metallurgy lay out a case for the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center on 9/11. The experts cite evidence of high-temperature incendiaries planted throughout the towers and the lesser-known Building 7, which collapsed later the same day.

After you watch this you're going to remember the way the Twin Towers fell.
They were brought down the same way.

And then we'll show you a timeline of documented facts.

1991 - "Microwave absorption system" AIRCRAFT CLOAKING DEVICE, assignee The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force - U.S. Patent 4,989,006 Filed 1989, Issued 1991. "...the present invention can be used to cloak the aircraft without the danger of the plasma cloud being left behind." "....Invisibility and cloaking technology have been around for a long time, but if you’ve been told that invisibility technology doesn’t yet exist in any practical, usable form, you’re not going to question the strange things you sense in the sky."

1991 - DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONRY DEMONSTRATED. In 1991, before the Soviet military withdrew from East Germany, the GRU (Russia's Central Intelligence Agency) demonstrated for the U.S. Air Force Electronic Security Command (AFESC) in Weimar (DDR) the capabilities of its infrared (laser) beam weapon, by reducing a ceramic plate to dust from a distance of one mile. This display of Soviet weapon technology was meant to impress upon the U.S. Air Force "how a stealth bomber [along with its pilot] could be turned into dust in the same way. The plate had been reduced to dust that was difficult to pick up, even with a vacuum cleaner. The plate was not destroyed suddenly as if hit by a bullet, rather it disintegrated in a process taking about 15 minutes, according to a physicist who took part in the demonstration.

1993 - WTC Bombing. The first World Trade Center bombing occurred on February 26, 1993, when a car bomb was detonated in the parking garage below the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The bomb killed six people and injured 1,042.   An FBI informant had been embedded with the terrorists for a year, and had reported the entire timeline.

If the van had been parked a few feet closer to one of the pillars, it could have collapsed an entire tower of the Trade Center, killing tens of thousands.

The 1,500 lb (680 kg) urea nitrate–hydrogen gas enhanced device was intended to knock the North Tower (Tower One) into the South Tower (Tower Two), bringing both towers down and killing thousands of people. It failed to do so, but it did kill six people and it injured 1,042.  

A few months after the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center FBI director William Sessions declared;

"Based on what was known to us at the time, we have no reason to believe we could have prevented the bombing of the World Trade Center". (This may sound familiar.)

BUT...during the course of the trial it was revealed that the FBI not only knew, it was complicit.

During the Presidency of George H.W. Bush, the FBI had an informant, a former Egyptian army officer named Emad Salem, embedded within the group for a year prior to the attack

Salem, (who was paid a million and a half dollars by the FBI for his work as an informant), informed the FBI of the plot to bomb the towers as early as February 6, 1992, almost three weeks before the attack. Salem, initially believing that this was to be a sting operation, claimed that the FBI's original plan was for Salem to supply the conspirators with a harmless powder instead of actual explosive to build their bomb, but that the FBI chose to use him for other purposes instead.

He secretly recorded hundreds of hours of telephone conversations with his FBI handlers, Louis Napoli and John Anticev, whose supervisor is Carson Dunbar.

In a call to FBI agent John Anticlev, one of his handlers shortly after the bombing, [ actual recording: HERE ] Salem, who was also asking for more money, complained to Anticlev;

"We was start already building the bomb, which is went off in the World Trade Center. It was built, uh, uh, uh, supervising, supervision from the Bureau [FBI] and the DA [district attorney] and we was all informed about it. And we know that the bomb start to be built. By who? By your confidential informant. What a wonderful great case. And then he [the FBI supervisor] put his head in the sand and said, oh no, no, no that’s not true, he is a son of a bitch, okay".

After the bombing, Salem anguished to one FBI agent,

“You were informed. Everything is ready. The day and the time. Boom. Lock them up and that’s that. That’s why I feel so bad.”

On another tape, Salem asked an FBI agent,

“Do you deny your supervisor is the main reason of bombing the World Trade Center?”

The agent did not deny Salem’s charge.

An article dated 2/16/03 published in U.S. News and World Report reported on how VERY disappointed the FBI said they were at having failed to prevent the bombing:

"...In lengthy interviews with U.S. News, several key task-force investigators reflected on what remains a bittersweet chapter in their professional lives. 'We were SO aggressive,' says FBI supervisory special agent John Anticev. 'Yet there is an overwhelming sense of disappointment. We JUST missed it.'... "

1993 - The Boeing Co. says it is stumped about a computer glitch that comes and goes and can wrest control away from the pilots of 757 and 767 jetliners. It has happened on at least 31 flights in the past few years, causing two near disasters. "We're looking at all possibilities," said Boeing spokeswoman Susan Davis. "We don't know what's causing the anomalies." - Seattle Times 1993

1997 - US Patent 5695156 - The Boeing Company. Aircraft vertical position control system - Aircraft input signals of selected altitude (hs), selected vertical speed (hs), current altitude (h), current vertical speed (h), current pitch attitude (?), current normal acceleration (Nz) and current pitch rate (Q) are processed to produce an elevator command (?e) that will result in a smooth vertical transition of the aircraft for various autopilot vertical maneuvers, including altitude capture and hold, glideslope capture and hold, and flare control......It should be understood that the signal for initiating a transition between a current flight path and a new path is external to the vertical position control system and may come from various sources. For example, the pilot may directly command the new path via flight deck controls (e.g., via altitude select knob, approach knob, rite vertical speed mode select, etc.), or the signal may come from a flight management computer, or, the signal may be received from other sources such as a remote controller through a communication link.

1997- In April of 1997 Secretary of Defense William Cohen stated:. "Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves...", and, "It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts."
General consensus; : "You can be sure that if [Cohen] openly admitted to fears of others developing such tech, that we've already got it.".

1998 - FAA/Ohio University Avionics Engineering Center Partnership December, 1998 "Ohio University's Avionics Engineering Center recently developed and successfully flight-tested technology that increases the availability and accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) ... This technological breakthrough is the result of a 5-year aviation research grant provided by the FAA to the Avionics Center to design, implement, and test an advanced prototype GPS-based approach, landing, and surface movement guidance system ... Pilots from United Parcel Service (UPS) flight tested the new architecture in October 1994, using a UPS Boeing 757, completing a total of 50 automated landings. During those tests, researchers integrated Differential Global Positioning System into the Boeing 757 autoland system."

1998 - On September 7, 1998, it was announced that American Airlines and United Airlines selected Honeywell's new GPS capable "Pegasus" Flight Management System (FMS) for use in their Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft. "A flight management system or FMS is a computerized avionics component found on most commercial and business aircraft to assist pilots in navigation, flight planning, and aircraft control functions. It is considered to be composed of three major components: FMC (Flight Management Computer), AFS (Auto Flight System), and Navigation System including IRS (Inertial Reference System) and GPS."

1998 - Boeing Completes Successful ABL Wind Tunnel Tests SEATTLE, Jan. 28, 1998 -- A month-long series of wind tunnel tests conducted by Boeing has confirmed the design of components critical to the performance of the Airborne Laser (ABL).

1999 - In an unusual move, the (remotely -controlled) aircraft entered initial low-rate production concurrently while still in engineering and manufacturing development.....

"....While in the Air Force I worked on heat-seeking, video, electro-optical, and laser-guided air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles and bombs. As a profession today I work in computer network engineering. As a hobby I am an avid fisherman very familiar with the concepts of GPS. From my perspective it would be a piece of cake to build a back door access into an aircraft's avionics and sieze control of the vessel....we take control ...and their computer will not respond to any input they give it. And now we can do it in a wireless setting using hubs and switches that work with IR light to transmit digital signals. This is really ancient technology in the computer industry. ..."

1999 - US Patent 5904724 - Method and apparatus for remotely piloting an aircraft - A method and apparatus that allows a remote aircraft to be controlled by a remotely located pilot who is presented with a synthesized three-dimensional projected view representing the environment around the remote aircraft. According to one aspect of the invention, a remote aircraft transmits its three-dimensional position and orientation to a remote pilot station. The remote pilot station applies this information to a digital database containing a three dimensional description of the environment around the remote aircraft to present the remote pilot with a three dimensional projected view of this environment. The remote pilot reacts to this view and interacts with the pilot controls, whose signals are transmitted back to the remote aircraft. In addition, the system compensates for the communications delay between the remote aircraft and the remote pilot station by controlling the sensitivity of the pilot controls.

1999 - Hafnium Bomb - New Scientist magazine reports: Experiments with radioactive hafnium are used to argue it is possible to make a simple device that releases a massive amount of gamma rays comparable to a nuclear bomb. The hafnium explosive could be extremely powerful. One gram of fully charged hafnium isomer could store more energy than 50 kilograms of TNT.The effect of a nuclear-isomer explosion would be to release high-energy gamma rays capable of killing any living thing in the immediate area. It would cause little fallout compared to a fission explosion, but any undetonated isomer would be dispersed as small radioactive particles, making it a somewhat "dirty" bomb. This material could cause long-term health problems for anybody who breathed it in. The rapid release of energy interested the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which saw the potential for a grapefruit-sized bomb with a two-kiloton yield, the explosive equivalent of two kilotons of TNT. Donald Rumsfeld asked for a prototype to be completed in 18 months. In what now appears in retrospect to have been a double bluff, suddenly, reports of the hafnium bomb drop out of sight, stories are permitted to circulate stating that results cannot be duplicated, that the project is a bust, and visible financing is cut. The project, however, is now coded top secret. Speculation is that it has been coded top secret to avoid embarrassment over the supposed failure.  

2000 - Team ABL Begins Fabrication Of Airborne Laser Turret- SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 07, 2000 -- Team Airborne Laser (ABL) has begun fabrication of the ABL's revolutionary, high-energy laser weapon system turret assembly at Lockheed Martin Space Systems' Sunnyvale, Calif., facility.

2000 - Boeing Acquires SVS, Inc. in Bid to Expand Laser and Optics Business WEST HILLS, Calif. and ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 27, 2000 -- The Boeing Company today announced that it is in negotiations to acquire SVS, Inc., of Albuquerque, N.M., a high technology company with nationally-recognized expertise in the electro-optical arena. The announcement was made by Mike Skolnick, vice president and general manager of the Laser & Electro Optical Systems (LEOS) unit of The Boeing Company. "Boeing has made a major investment in the directed-energy marketplace, with its lead role in Airborne Laser, Space Based Laser and its development work in the laser and beam control technologies," Skolnick said. "SVS would bring critical and specialized capabilities to the company, not only in directed energy, but also in a wide range of electro-optical controls and image processing applications for both the defense and commercial markets."

2001 - Multiple acts of terrorism on September 11, 2001 resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans.

Remember that technological developments are rarely acknowledged until many many years, often decades, after they have been in covert use.

2001 - Applied Research Associates recognized by the Directed Energy Professional Society by being awarded the Directed Energy Award, was contracted to clean up Ground Zero as well as to consult on the reports completed by the NIST.
Applied Research Associates is part of the Military Industrial Complex Americans were warned about by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. NIST (an acronym for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce) and Applied Research Associates worked together to explain the complex mechanisms for that which did not happen– an unprecedented structural collapse due to fire.

2001 - On October 9, 2001, Cubic Defense Systems, Inc. applied for a U.S. patent that removes control of an aircraft from its pilot and utilizes an aircraft’s auto-pilot system to implement an uninterruptable pre-programmed autopilot flight plan in order to navigate an aircraft to a given destination during an emergency. This would be accomplished through the use of an electronic or mechanical relay or relays, that become activated by pilot operation of an aircraft hijack notification system. One optional feature of the Cubic system is termination of an aircraft’s ability to communicate.

2001 - Tom Cassidy, president and CEO of the San Diego company General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc, said he sent Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta a letter shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks recommending use of existing technology for future anti-hijacker measures. Cassidy reminded Mineta that his company had developed a remote-controlled reconnaissance plane for the Air Force called Predator, which flew in Bosnia during the conflict there. Used by the military since 1994, [the plane] can be landed by pilots linked by satellite using controls on the ground or ordering an onboard computer to do the job....Aircraft anywhere in the nation could be remotely controlled.."The technology is available, we use it every day."

2002 CBS News, May 17, 2002 : Bush administration officials have repeatedly said no one in government had imagined an attack such as that which occurred on 9/11.

2003-The Boeing Company quietly applies for an innocuously named patent on 02/19/2003; "System and method for automatically controlling a path of travel of a vehicle: Application No. 10369285. An uninterruptible autopilot system for automatically controlling flight operations of an air vehicle, comprising: an autopilot system capable of receiving a signal to initiate the uninterruptible autopilot system of the air vehicle; at least one switching element capable of disconnecting onboard manual flight controls and bypassing at least one onboard accessible power control element to connect said autopilot system of the air vehicle to an alternative inaccessible power supply in response to initiation of the autopilot system, such that the uninterruptible autopilot system of the air vehicle is engaged, wherein said at least one switching element is responsive to initiation of the uninterruptible autopilot system so as to bypass at least one onboard accessible power control element by switching from the at least one onboard accessible power control element to an alternative, inaccessible power control element comprising at least one power limiting element so as to supply power via the alternative, inaccessible power control element to the autopilot system from the alternative, inaccessible power supply; and a processing element capable of automatically navigating the air vehicle without input from onboard the air vehicle via the uninterruptible autopilot system of the air vehicle.

2004 - European Patent Applied For by Boeing - now under a new title, METHOD FOR PREVENTING HIJACKERS FROM TAKING OVER AN AIRCRAFT System and method for automatically controlling a path of travel of a vehicle. Filing Date: 01/28/2004 European Patent Application EP1450227 -The method according to any of the claims 1-5, wherein disabling any onboard capability to supersede the engaged automatic control system comprises disabling any onboard capability to disengage the engaged automatic control system, disconnecting onboard controls, and/or bypassing at least one onboard accessible power control element by providing power to the automatic control system from an alternative power control element that is inaccessible.

2005 - The US State Department claims that remote control flight is not possible: Remotely Controlled Flight Not Possible.
A Boeing Company official stated that Boeing has designed its commercial airplanes so that it is impossible to control them remotely. June 16, 2005

2006 - "Boeing last week received a US patent for a system that, once activated, removes all control from pilots .....US Patent 7142971 - System and method for automatically controlling a path of travel of a vehicle. The “uninterruptible” autopilot would be activated – either by pilots, by onboard sensors, or even remotely via radio or satellite links by government agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency..." . Once initiated, "no one on board is capable of controlling the flight," say documents related to the Canadian patent pending application by U.S. Boeing, the world's largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners.

2008- The magazine New Scientist reported in August of 2008 "US boasts of laser weapon's 'plausible deniability". An aircraft-borne laser will invisibly cause destruction 20 kilometres away without US forces being suspected, officials claim. An airborne laser weapon dubbed the "long-range blowtorch" has the added benefit that the US could convincingly deny any involvement with the destruction it causes, say senior officials of the US Air Force (USAF). Cynthia Kaiser, chief engineer of the US Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate, used the phrase "plausible deniability" to describe the weapon's benefits in a briefing on laser weapons to the New Mexico Optics Industry Association in June. John Corley, director of USAF's Capabilities Integration Directorate, used the same phrase to describe the weapon's benefits at an Air Armament Symposium in Florida in October 2007. As the term suggests, "plausible deniability" is used to describe situations where those responsible for an event could plausibly claim to have had no involvement in it. John Pike, analyst with defence think-tank Global Security, based in Virginia, says the implications are clear. "The target would never know what hit them," says Pike. "Further, there would be no munition fragments that could be used to identify the source of the strike."A laser beam is silent and invisible. An ATL can deliver the heat of a blowtorch with a range of 20 kilometres, depending on conditions. That range is great enough that the aircraft carrying it might not be seen, especially at night.

2008 - Hafnium Bomb. The 1999 top secret project that had purportedly failed, apparently hadn't. February 29, 2008 DARPA distributed some of the 150 copies of the final report of the TRIP experiment that had independently confirmed the "gold standard" of Hafnium-isomer triggering. Sustained by peer review, the 94 page report is distributed for official use only (FOUO) by the DARPA Technical Information Office.

2009 - Hafnium Bomb. In October of 2009 The National Institute for Theoretical Physics hosted the Stellenbosch Seminar Series: Topic: Hafnium Bomb: Stimulated Decay of the Nuclear Isomer HF-178m2, presented by Prof Evgeny Tkalya, of Moscow State University, Russia.

9/11 RESEARCH INDICATES: Destruction cause; Remotely controlled planes ensured target accuracy and were employed to generate maximum panic, enhance dramatic effect, and disguise actual method of destruction. A combination of pre-planted traditional and exotic explosives appear to have been utilized. Government Star Wars program DEW (Directed Energy Weaponry) was primary cause of destruction. A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a type of weapon that emits energy in an aimed direction without the means of a projectile. It transfers energy to a target for a desired effect. Multiple witnesses testified to explosions in building prior to planes hitting. Additional sequential explosions were caught on tape. Nano Thermite charges appear to have been used to assist and ensure symmetrical collapses. A number of steel beams have been smoothly and deliberately severed, consistent with the use of Nano Thermite. Fragments of Nano Thermite (aka "SuperThermite") were found in WTC rubble, formally announced by scientists (findings published in the respected Bentham Chemical Physics Journal).. With overhead photography of the site, there was also discovery of a series of largely empty holes, (no evidence of oversized falling debris having caused these). These footprints are said by scientists to be consistent with use of massive Directed Energy Weaponry beams.

The fourth plane, United Flight 93 which crashed in Shanksville, PA. was NOT headed for Washington, D.C.
The target was WTC Building 7 in New York City, in which explosives had already been pre-positioned.

As with each of the other three hijacked planes, whose engines were also heard to have been throttled up just as they approached their remotely controlled targets, Flight 93's heading and speed were being remotely controlled, their instruments and their communications had been remotely disengaged. The conversation in the cockpit was also being remotely monitored.

Link

United Flight 93 - Recorded evidence suggests that passengers were able to access the cockpit and overcome the hijackers, but after doing so found themselves unable to fly the plane, because as was true with the other three planes, Flight 93 was being remotely controlled. Too much time had passed, the plan was too far off-schedule, and the risk of discovery should the plane be safely landed by a passenger was too great. Flight 93 was diverted from the original flight path that was to take it to WTC Bulding 7, and directed to a sparsely populated area.

The cause of the crash therefore centers on trauma to the aircraft -- such as a missile strike -- rather than the actions of whoever was at the controls. Evidence of such trauma preceding the jetliner's inverted nose-dive includes the widely scattered debris field, numerous ear- and eyewitness accounts, and evidence that NORAD and the 9/11 Commission changed the timeline to hide the plane's true fate.

The Administration, understandably fearful of criticism and a political backlash for shooting down a plane carrying innocent civilians, found it not only expedient, but politically useful, to keep this information under wraps.

The attacks of 9/11, each and every one of them, were deliberately perpetrated ON Americans, BY Americans.

The attacks of 9/11 took place with the full knowledge and cooperation of a relatively small cadre of individuals, consisting of members of this country's own corporate and industrial elite, in partnership with highly placed accomplices in our own government, clandestine services, and military.

They were further aided by covert mercenaries, who in turn were aiding, abetting, and enabling the compartmentalized participation of carefully recruited, hand picked individuals, both domestic and foreign, chosen for their prejudices and violent tendencies, who were thus considered ideal to participate in, and take the blame for, the attacks.

The events of 9/11 were staged, the lives of thousands of innocent Americans, lost on a lie, murdered by their own countrymen, to provide the pretext for war.

The core motivation, one repeated throughout the annals of time, can be condensed to a mere two words -- Money and Power.

HOW WAS IT KEPT SECRET?

Both President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney personally intervened and asked Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (Dem. - S.D.) "to limit the congressional investigation into the events of Sept. 11," according to CNN.

Bush made the unusual request at a private meeting with congressional leaders on January 29, 2002. He asked that the House and Senate intelligence committees only look into "the potential breakdowns among federal agencies that could have allowed the terrorist attacks to occur," rather than conduct a comprehensive inquiry.

Cheney made a similar appeal to Daschle on Jan. 25. "The vice president expressed the concern that a review of what happened on September 11 would take resources and personnel away from the effort in the war on terrorism," Daschle said. "I acknowledged that concern, and it is for that reason that the Intelligence Committee is going to begin this effort, trying to limit the scope and the overall review of what happened," Daschle said.

Although the president and vice president told Daschle they were worried a wide-reaching inquiry could distract from the government's war on terrorism, privately Democrats questioned why the White House feared a broader investigation to determine possible culpability.

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, was set up on November 27, 2002 "to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 attacks".The commission was created by Congressional legislation, with the bill signed into law by President George W. Bush.

After the publication of its final report, the commission closed on August 21, 2004. The commission was the last investigation by the federal government into the events of 9/11, with the exception of the NIST report on the collapse of Building 7.

The commission was criticized for significant alleged conflicts of interest on the part of commissioners and staff. Further, the commission's report has been the subject of much criticism by both the commissioners themselves and by others. The commission members were appointed by George W. Bush as well as Congress, which led to the criticism that it was not a commission truly independent from the U.S. government whose actions it was supposed to review. The commission stated in its report that "[their] aim has not been to assign individual blame," a judgment which some critics believed would obscure the facts of the matter in a nod to consensus politics.

In addition, commissioners believed that key agencies of the U.S. government, including The Pentagon, the FAA and NORAD were deliberately deceiving them, and that the CIA was deliberately impeding the work of the commission.

On the whole, the chairmen of the commission believed the commission was set up to fail.

John Farmer, senior counsel to the Commission stated that the Commission "discovered that...what government and military officials had told Congress, the Commission, the media, and the public about who knew what when — was almost entirely, and inexplicably, untrue." Farmer continues: "At some level of the government, at some point in time … there was a decision not to tell the truth about what happened...The (NORAD) tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public."

Thomas Kean, the head of the 9/11 Commission, concurred: "We to this day don’t know why NORAD told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth."
