Norman Mineta's resignation in context

[Mark Gobell]

I didn't know Mineta had resigned. I searched the forum for it without success.

This article places Mineta's resignation in context.

Regardless of your position on this topic, you cannot help but admit
that a major coincidence (at the very least) took place on the
morning of June 23, 2006.

It all began on the evening of June 22, 2006, when "Hannity & Colmes"
(on the FOX/RNC Channel) had a guest on by the name of Dr. James H.
Fetzer (see endnote). Fetzer is a member of 9/11 Scholars for Truth.
Due to some unexpected initial confusion on the part of the hosts
regarding their chosen "attack theme" (they got their "facts FOXED,"
as Fetzer said), Fetzer was given a rare opportunity to answer an
open-ended question -- almost without interruption. As the lawyers
all say, "Never ask a witness any question to which you do not
already know the answer."

Colmes asked Fetzer something to the effect, "So can you give us one
piece of evidence that would tend to point toward 9/11 being an
inside job by the Bush Administration? "

While Ollie North (who was guest hosting for Hannity) was apparently
still lost in confusion, Fetzer had a rare opportunity to speak a few
full sentences without hostile, obnoxious interruptions. He said (and
I'm paraphrasing here again), "I point you to Secretary of
Transportation Norman Mineta's testimony before the 9/11 Commission.
Mineta said he had encountered Vice President Cheney in a bunker in
Washington, DC, at 9:20 AM, on the day of the attacks [forty-three
minutes earlier than Cheney said he had arrived]. Every few seconds a
young man would come into the room and say, 'Sir, it's 50 miles out.
Sir, it's 40 miles out. Sir, it's 30 miles out,' and so on. Finally
the young man asked the Vice President, 'Sir, do the orders still
stand?' Cheney replied gruffly, 'Of course, the orders still stand.
Have you heard anything to the contrary?'

Fetzer went on to explain that only later did Mineta learn that the
young man was referring to Flight 77 approaching Washington, DC, and
the orders the young man was referring to were obviously orders NOT
to shoot the plane down [please see my first July 6, comment in the
comments section for an update on this paragraph]. That's why the
young man had finally asked if the orders still stood, to which
Cheney replied that they did. Shortly thereafter, Flight 77 (or
a "reasonable" facsimile thereof) struck the Pentagon.

Obviously, the producers of the "Hannity & Colmes Propaganda Hour"
had not anticipated such a damning bit of irrefutable evidence to
escape over "their" airwaves to their glassy-eyed, drool-chinned
audience.

Here's the Real Kicker...

The very next morning, less than twelve hours after his 9/11
testimony had been unexpectedly "exposed" to the FOX faithful, Norman
Mineta resigned as Secretary of Transportation.

What an unbelievably amazing coincidence of timing!

Just for the sake of argument, let's say Mineta's timing was truly
nothing more than a coincidence. If so, then he couldn't have picked
a worse time to announce it (unless it was his relatively subtle way
of sending a message to the masses). Or, if he was forced to resign
by Bush/Cheney (for whatever reason), they couldn't have picked a
more self-incriminating time to make it happen.

There has been barely a peep about Mineta's resignation in the
mainstream media. I saw the same, generic, non-informational, totally
uncurious five-second clip about it several times, but there has been
absolutely no speculation as to why he did it (although his recent
back surgery is implied to be the main reason). That's incredibly
unusual behavior for our babbling heads, isn't it? Other high-level
resignations in the last few months from the Bush Administration were
the subject of endless babble among the MSM "elite."

A Final Thought

I can only imagine the sudden conflicting thoughts of at least five
out of every one hundred Fox viewers who had heard Fetzer mention
Mineta's damning testimony just a few hours before Mineta resigned.
What must they have been thinking for a short time before their self-
hypnosis kicked back in?
