Once the transponder went off on Flight 11, the air traffic controller switched from the secondary to the primary radar. The blip that was Flight 11 was showing on the screens of all air traffic controllers - the shell game with drones. When they switched on the secure communications link - direct connect to NMCC, they thought it was working -
http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0604/062104c1.htm"The most frustrating after-the-fact scenario for me to understand and to explain is the communication link on that morning between the FAA operations center and the NMCC," said Monte Belger, who was the acting FAA deputy administrator when the attacks occurred. "I know how it's supposed to work, but I have to tell you it's still a little frustrating for me to understand how it actually did work on that day."
Belger said the FAA initiated a "hijacking net" at 9:20 a.m. that he thought included the NMCC.
"The hijacking net is an open communication net run by the FAA hijack coordinator, who is a senior person from the FAA security organization, for the purpose of getting the affected federal agencies together to hear information at the same time," he said.
"It was my assumption that morning, as it had been for my 30 years of experience with the FAA, that the NMCC was on that net and hearing everything real time," he added. "And I can tell you I've lived through dozens of hijackings in my 30-year FAA career, as a very low entry-level inspector up through to the headquarters, and they were always there."
Rookie at the console on 9/11.
He wouldn't know necessarily that he wasn't hearing what he should be hearing.
There are a couple of possibilities as to what happened to that communications line. Either it was shut down by a 'central command terminal' or it was linked to the FAA secondary radar system and was not operational when switching to primary radar.
Would this have been an oversight by the systems designers? No.. not in my opinion. If they are caught on it, they might try to say so, but I would never believe it.
New Topic -
Notice that Mitre also works on the IRS system. Sour note here. I know that the IRS systems are messed up. I've heard two news stories in the last 9 years (I'm attuned to hearing stories involving computer systems) that the government wanted to fire the contractors that were working on the IRS systems. Government doesn't publically announce problems with contactors and computer systems unless there are 'M'ajor problems.
The IRS tax collection system feeds the Social Security System. I looked at the SSA's report of tax revenues for the last 10 years. These numbers are wrong - not mincing any words, I'd say they are fraudulent. They show double digit increases in social security tax revenues every year since 2000. That can't be. There was the bursting of the tech bubble (a fabrication by the high tech - computer industry), 9/11 and the recession, massive outsouricng of high dollar, high tech jobs and incredible consolidation of wealth among the corporate key men from profits of exporting jobs. There would have been tremendous losses to the U.S. Treasury in tax receipts for the outsourced jobs. The increases to the key men would not have affected the numbers because of the social security wage cap. Furthermore, Josh Bolton in a congressional budget committee hearing admitted that there has been 3 years of declining tax revenues.
Here are the tax revenue numbers (interest not included) I got from the SSA Annual Accountability Report. The numbers increase every year. These numbers can't possibly be true because of the social security wage cap and the job losses. We are still down jobs. Even if there are imported H-1B's, they are making less than the Ameirican they replaced. On the illegals most of them work minimum wage or there abouts. These two groups together wouldn't make up for the losses of what I believe are millions of jobs lost through outsourcing and the export of manufacturing.
[PS - note - the panic to change social security and they are now talking rewriting the tax code ]
Other government computer systems that I know are messed up from listening to congressional hearings on C-Span
DOD - procurement
2.3 TRILLION dollars missing in 1999
1.1 TRILLION dollars missing in 2000
Military compensation and deployment tracking system
Tri-Care insurance payment system
Visa issuance and tracking system
FBI case management
Criminal illegal alien tracking (probably NCIC but they didn't say that - but that would explain how Jeff Gannon/Gukkert got a security clearance)
Whatever system handles FEMA reimbursements and Homescam security first responder reimbursements to cities
One final thing - all reports going to Congress are being screened by the GAO and CBO. Congress is unable to even get reports that are mandated by law.
So... now you know how I started with economic issues and globalization and ended up researching 9/11. It's all related and it is a conspiracy.
