What do “Meatball,” “Marbles,” “Lumpy” and “Jello” have in common? They’re all nicknames for alleged members of the Mafia who were busted by the FBI in a mass crackdown this week that led to the arrest of more than 120 purported Mob operatives.  —KA

Reportedly, the US vessel that fired the Tomahawk was in the Chesapeake bay area at the time.  It was immediately dispatched from the bay to the
Sea of Japan, where it remained for about a year. 

Who knows which US Navy vessel was transferred from the Chesapeake Bay about 11-13 Sep 2001 to the Sea of Japan, for one year?

There has to be friends and relatives of the US naval service personnel on that vessel, who are aware of their transfer to the Sea of Japan for one year.  Dates are Sep 11, 2001 to Sep 2002.

drbhelthi, January 23 at 6:23 pm,

I do remember a report of a woman saying that she saw what hit the Pentagon and it looked like a small plane; definitely the missal in the video looks like a small plane. 

Any idea what the names of the Navy vessels in the Sea of Japan were?  Since the crews were there a year, it should be something that can be checked; although probably won’t be allowed to check until after 50 years have passed and all participants involved are dead of natural causes. 

I have been of the opinion that the 9/11/01 terrorist scenario was a Reichstag Fire type home grown scenario from the beginning and my opinion hasn’t changed, only grown stronger.

Martha A, plz read my blog again; slowly.

You are acquainted with http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/263.html  - which provides an outstanding overview of where the USA is stagnated & why & who. 

A few minutes after the Pentagon event, local newshounds were active. Their employers had not yet reacted to the directive to “publish” only news provided by national media.  One initial, local broadcast included a lady who had seen the “aircraft” as it flew by.  She said, “- it looked like some kind of small airplane - .”  An excellent description of the Tomahawk missile by a lay person. 
Chalk one up for the ladies, again. 
This ladies´ observation was broadcast one time, only, to my knowledge.  Being a former aviation mechanic and pilot, I comprehended immediately.  A few days later,
additional information was revealed. 
A remarkable video of the Tomahawk in action is found at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5VcnCZ6Pv0

Are you saying that a missal hit the Pentagon in 2001 and it was from our own Navy vessel in the Sea of Japan?

It was the same “president” that ordered the USNaval
vessel to the Sea of Japan for one year, immediately
after having fired the missile into the pentagon.

You get only one guess - - .

I wonder how many of the officers and senior NCOs on
the vesel have met with unforeseen and unusual deaths
since that time?  Especially the officers that were
“on deck”, who ordered all “enlisted” personnel off
the bridge and out of the “button room” just prior to
the event.

Who was the President that gave those directives.  Could it have been a Bush?

The documents show the Hitler assisting tire salesman profiteer made his money off the war where Jewish people were being slaughtered, along with the Russians, and many, many others, should have been hunted down by the Jewish State when Simon Wiesenthal was rounding them up for trial; somehow he slipped through the net, but was actually a more guilty enabler than Adolph Eichman that was in charge of the trains.

The FBI charter has been altered, so that the FBI is
restricted from taking hostile action against
friends, relatives and dishonest cohorts of the WWII
NAZI entourage, internal to or associated with
the US Government. 

From its activities since the reign of “Junior” Bush,
two observations can be drawn. 
1. The original charter of the FBI has been rescinded
by presidential directive. 
2. The FBI may now engage in two major activities:
(1 investigattion and apprehension of members of  
organizations engaged competitively, with former and
current members of the USGov, who traffic in the
illegal drug business, and banking industry;
(2 cooperate with the CIA to discern disgruntled
Moslem teenagers, devise and execute plans to entrap
them in activities that violate the NAZI Homeland
Security specifications.
