Zakheim and his Missing Trillions

Ordained Rabbi, bionic Zionist and citizen of Israel, Dov Zakheim served as Comptroller of the Pentagon, i.e. he was in charge of its finances, from May 2001 to March 2004. While Bush was still Governor of Texas, Zakheim became one of his closest advisers, counselling him on defense technology and strategic aspects of Middle Eastern affairs, and was Bush's senior foreign policy advisor during the 2000 campaign. Dov had earlier held the position of Chief Executive Officer at Systems Planning Corporation (SPC), then he became the Undersecretary of Defence and Comptroller (head money man) of the Pentagon in May 2001, appointed by Bush. He was sworn in as the Under-Secretary of Defense and Chief Financial Officer for the Department of Defense on May 4, 2001. Since then over three trillion dollars has gone unaccounted-for.

Dov Zakheim’s SPC offers the appropriately named ‘Flight Termination System’ [1] for remote control and flight termination of airborne test vehicles.’[2] It consists of a Command transmitter system plus custom control, interface and monitoring systems.’ [3] The system can be configured to operate from a single local site, or with several remote sites.

System Planning Corporation, of which he had been Corporate Vice-President, is a high-technology, research, analysis, and manufacturing firm based in Arlington, Virginia, a major player in the "Homeland Security" industry and a leading manufacturer and designer of airborne remote control technology. One of its products is the Command Transmitter System, a remote control system for planes, boats, missiles and other vehicles. It's customable and configurable to interface with all sorts of vehicle types. He is Chief Executive Officer of SPC International Corporation, a subsidiary of SPC that specializes in political, military, and economic consulting, and international sales and analysis, and it was a subsidiary of this firm, Tridata Corporation, oversaw the investigation of the first “terrorist” attack on the World Trade Center in 1993. That would have provided vital first-hand knowledge of the security systems and structural blueprints of the World Trade Center.

Zakheim has close ties to the Israeli government, holding dual Israeli-American citizenship [4] (Ruppert, p.587). As a member of the Council for Foreign Relations, and founding member of the Neo-con cult, he co-authored the Heritage Foundation’s infamous tract, "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century" published by The American Enterprise's "Project for a New American Century"(1), in which the Bush Administration's entire design for renewed global conquest was laid down, exactly a year prior to 9-11. It called for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor" as necessary to foster the frame of mind needed for the American public to support a war in the Middle East. As a respected and established voice in the intelligence community, his views were eagerly accepted.

In 2004, an article entitled The Mastermind Behind 9/11? on the Truthseeker website [5] expressed the view that

As part of military transformation efforts, DoD Comptroller Dov S. Zakheim and his posse of accountants are riding the Pentagon's financial paper trail, seeking to corral billions of dollars in so-called "lost" expenditures. For years, DoD and congressional officials have sought to reconcile defense financial documents to determine where billions in expenditures have gone. That money didn't fall down a hole, but is simply waiting to be accounted for, Zakheim said in a Feb. 14 interview with the American Forces Information Service. Complicating matters, he said, is that DoD has 674 different computerized accounting, logistics and personnel systems.

Most of the 674 systems "don't talk to one another unless somebody 'translates,'" he remarked. This situation, he added, makes it hard to reconcile financial data.

Billions of dollars of DoD taxpayer-provided money haven't disappeared, Zakheim said. "Missing" expenditures are often reconciled a bit later in the same way people balance their checkbooks every month. The bank closes out a month and sends its bank statement, he said. In the meanwhile, people write more checks, and so they have to reconcile their checkbook register and the statement. DoD financial experts, Zakheim said, are making good progress reconciling the department's "lost" expenditures, trimming them from a prior estimated total of $2.3 trillion to $700 billion. And, he added, the amount continues to drop. "We're getting it down and we are redesigning our systems so we'll go down from 600-odd systems to maybe 50," he explained.

"That way, we will give people not so much more money, but a comfort factor, to be sure that every last taxpayer penny is accounted for," he concluded.

SO HE BASICALLY COVERED UP AND SYPHONED OFF THE MONEY HIMSELF BY FALSE ACCOUNTING

Hear Cynthia McKinney grilling Pentagon chiefs over where the missing trillions went to, in 9-minute video clip (www.allthingscynthiamckinney.com/). As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, she is questioning the panel in a hearing on the FY2006 Defense Appropriations bill:

unfortunately Cynthia is out of congress now so is unlikely to make progress on the issue. I wonder how much of those trilions went to haliburton and carlisle group?

A Parting of the Ways?

Mr Banesh (April 12th) advocates the rather daft notion that no real plane impacted into the South Tower - it was some kind of holographic illusion. Sure, and they didn't go to the Moon either, it was all pretend ... Was it all done by trick photography, Mr Banesh?

Those of us who prefer to live in the real world, will want to consider how a real, metal plane was prepared to be remotely flown and blow up after impact, in the Tower. Some part of it had to penetrate right through the Tower and come out the other side, in a kind of hellish inferno. I'm suggesting that the Truthseeker's argument is here valid, which is why that site got threatened by Zakheim's lawyers unless they removed the article. They described how Zakheim's System Planning Corporation, and its ace Flight Termination Technology, was exactly what was needed to prepare that very special plane for remote-controlled flight.

It's of interest to compare that Truthseeker argument, with the conclusion reached by the image-analysis team at Mataró University (Barcelona, Spain), in March 2003. The plane was, they declared, a Boeing 767-300, which was slightly longer and not of quite the same dimensions as the passenger plane which took off, a Boeing 767-200.

Stelios, as soon as I saw that the first video was a fox production, I couldn't bring myself to watch it (maybe I watch later).

The second video I saw for the first time a few months ago.

The third video is a killer.

Thanks for sharing. That guy has balls.

I can't believe what I'm starting to believe these days.


Edit: FWIW, I've done some investigating and have come to the conclusion that the Sibrel "Astronauts gone wild" video (starting at the 10 minute mark of the last video in stelios's post) is a CIA/NASA/Sibrel/ex-astronauts co-production. They've joined together to create a new batch of moon-hoaxers. I don't know why exactly. But the astronauts in the video weren't caught out by Sibrel, they were co-operating with him in order to make themselves look dodgy.

[astro3]

Don't believe it, EGW. Its an illusion. Illusion requres no rational thought to sink into: it's easy, just accept that 'They' can do anything.

Now if you don't mind can we return to the subject, of how Zakheim's firm modified and developed the Boeing that flew into the South Tower? Real witnesses saw it flying though the air before it impacted, didn't they?

[Keith Mothersson]

Not sure about this one, Astro. I think very few people can see up high from down on the pavements, and it is well known that FFT perps plant actors to brief media. e.g. at Tavistock Sq and Stockwell; and one excited 'witness' on 911 talked of seeing the planes hitting the towers and then the towers coming down because of being so hot that they fell due to 'structural failure' - 'who talks like this?' is the apt comment on one analysis of early TV footage.

The strong no planes argument doesn't rely on hologram theories, but on the size of the holes at Pentagon and Shanksville and at Manhattan video fakery coupled with explosions, but according to Paul Carline who has read a book by an Austrian researcher, there may be a four floor discrepancy between the image of the soft alumnium planes being swallowed by the South tower, and where the diagonal gash was exploded, with inferno resulting so hot that a) Boeing was burnt up, but b) office workers could peer out from the gaping not wide enough gash. (Remember also that having real planes going into carefully wired up buildings could upset the demoltion arrray.)

Now we know from Leslie Raphel's work that the Naudet film is a fake and according to Andrew Johnson at the Leeds truthfest there is clear precedent for videofakery, insofar as the Kennedy car stopped to allow the marksmen to dispatch him (lots of witnesses) but the Zapruder film shows Kennedy being shot as the car glides along. And the neocons exploited the intel-media complex in real time fakery to steal Florida and Ohio in 2000 and 2004.

You may well be right about Zakheim's remote control plane technology being used for one or more of the planes but the argument is still open, and abusing serious no-planers like Morgan Reynolds or David Shayler, doesn't help. Of course it appears to make the 911 argument harder to win in the short term, but then if that is the sole criterion why don't we all retreat to Lihop or Unanswered questions?

Communicating the no-planes video-fakery truth (if it is true, or may quite possibly be true) means that we are putting the intel-media complex in the frame, which is necessary since for a real global coup the PTB that brought us 911 could be preparing a 'alien invasion' with FFT on a huge scale using exo-weapons alllied to videofakery, to pave the way for global panic and takeover of all the frightened people who can't imagine that the media would lie to them in 'real' time . . . ...

One welcomes this opportunity to discuss what is real and what is not. Scholars forTruth disintegrated at the end of last year over precisely this no-plane issue, and has now re-emerged as Scholars for Truth and Justice. The essay on this new site A Critical Review of WTC 'No Plane' Theories by professional video editor Eric Salter, http://questionsquestions.net/WTC/review.html may be recommended.

It shows how, none of the arguments against a 767 can adequately explain how the jagged holes in the Towers were created that exactly fits a 767 - including widening of the hole where the engines were located. No other plane fits the hole as precisely as a 767, even down to the narrow grooves created by the wings on either side of the impact hole. Plus, wheels, engine parts, a piece of a fuselage and other 767 debris were found in and around the WTC.

Eat your heart out, Gerard Holmgren, it was a real plane with real momentum. Image analysis of the Scott Meyers footage of the second impact (in the NIST report) shows that the entire South Tower swayed back and forth in an oscillating motion for at least 4 minutes after the impact. Plus, the oral histories released by the New York Times show that at least 50 FDNY firemen saw planes or plane debris in the streets.

So, let's try to live in the real world and not imagine it was all done by phantom planes that no-one saw. Our group owes a lot to Jimmy Walters, but we just have to admit that he (on his website) has gone badly wrong on this matter. Also it seems to me that no-planers always tend to make vituperative remarks about their opponents (Keith above excepted).

The video In Plane Sight shows a group of witnesses who have just heard the plane zoom by as it entered the South Tower. It was not a civilan airliner, one of them keeps repeating. Surely, no-one is going to suggest that these were planted witnesses?
