The senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission – John Farmer – says that the government agreed not to tell the truth about 9/11, echoing the assertions of fellow 9/11 Commission members who concluded that the Pentagon were engaged in deliberate deception about their response to the attack.
Farmer served as Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (officially known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States), and is also a former New Jersey Attorney General. Farmer’s book about his experiences working for the Commission is entitled The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America’s Defense on 9/11, and is set to be released tomorrow.
The book unveils how “the public had been seriously misled about what occurred during the morning of the attacks,” and Farmer himself states that “at some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened.” The publisher of the book, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, states that, “Farmer builds the inescapably convincing case that the official version not only is almost entirely untrue but serves to create a false impression of order and security.” The report revealed how the 10-member commission deeply suspected deception to the point where they considered referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation.
“We to this day don’t know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us,” said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. “It was just so far from the truth. . . . It’s one of those loose ends that never got tied.”
Farmer himself is quoted in the Post article, stating, “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The [Norad air defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.”
# 20 Skippy the dog said, “#19. So what if the threat comes from overhead, as in satellites. Not their job? If not, then whose job is it?”
Like ICBMs? Do you know what the term airspace means? Apparently not, but then again you are only a dog..
It’s Obama’s fault!
#21. Maybe I am just a dog, but at least I can read the Mission Statement above. Growwwwlllll.
#23, So, by your logic NORAD is responsible if I shoot someone with a rifle because the bullet is traveling in US airspace? ROFLMAO
#24. Now you’re just being a stupid hooman.
#25 Explain how NORAD was to track this type of incident and respond? Waiting…

So the towers didn’t actually collapse in New York, and were instead secretly taken to an underground bunker in Colorado!
Learn to read you stupid asswipe. The article clearly talks about lies coming out of NORAD.
Anybody stupid enough to believe that NORAD shouldn’t have intercepted at least the plane that hit the pentagon is a complete and utter moron.
NORAD fighters should be able to intercept an aircraft anywhere in the US withing 10-15 minutes. It was a full 45 minutes after the second tower was struck, and it was apparent that the attack was intentional, that the 3rd plane hit the Pentagon.
Either NORAD completely failed or they were told to stand down. These are the issues.
# 27 Troublemaker said, “Either NORAD completely failed or they were told to stand down. These are the issues.”
Nope. NORAD doesn’t posses enough ground based radar to track aircraft below a certain level in the U.S. In ADDITION, was there a Presidential order in time saying shoot down commercial airliners off course and not responding?
I await your answers…
Here’s a minute by minute with some transcript data:

Wow.. Here I am agreeing with Paddy…
As an atheist I blame God for the 9|11 attacks. There, the problem has been solved. Can we please move along and stop referencing sites like InfoWars (i.e. Alex Jones). I can only take so much survivalist propaganda in one day.
Was NORAD incompetent or in on a scheme (in other words following orders)? It’ll be interesting to find out what the “truth” is. Where’s Fox Mulder when we need him.
Ok,
WHAT?
that after 50+ years of defending USA airspace from idiots that they got tired of watching and warning them to STAY AWAY from no fly zones??
That NOT 1 Aircraft left base, to defend the towers?
NOT 1 aircraft left the ground to defend the Pentagon?
that the military had NO IDEA what happened until it happened?
I wouldn’t say they were incompetent. They also weren’t set up to deal with the situation that developed.
It kind of takes a while for people to wrap their minds around the idea of blowing large airplanes loaded with innocent civilians out of the sky.
I suspect that if somebody had been forced to do it they would never have recovered nor the person that gave the order.
The confusion recorded on the NORAD tapes would explain why we had a ton of AWACS called back to patrol U.S. airspace right after 9/11. It would seem many of our systems had been compromised.
In the past week major fiber optic communication systems have been cut and malicious programs have been found on important computers that control the electrical grid. Me thinks this goes way beyond Al Qaeda and has nothing to do with an inside job. We are in a real war here but with whom?
#15 or just shoot HIM more likely.
# 35 GF said, “The confusion recorded on the NORAD tapes would explain why we had a ton of AWACS called back to patrol U.S. airspace right after 9/11.”
Right, and immediately after 9/11 we had to use German AWACS as ours were deployed oversees…
given that nothing
about 9/11 added up,
no surprise here.
but holding the juicy
bits for a book sale
does nothing for credibility.
only reason i can see for
this approach is that had
knowledge of the book’s
impending release and data
within been known prior,
(if true) -the author and
the book would have
been buried.
-or, it’s all a crock
and it makes no difference.
nonetheless, tomorrow the
next 9/11 chapter to fuel
a thousand new websites
and a million new threads
will be revealed..
interesting timing though..

Noooooo! Say it ain’t so! Governments lie to cover their often incompetent asses.
From that website it looks like no one even considered they’d try to crash those planes into buildings, so why scramble to intercept them? That’s not NORAD’s fault, but if they thought they’d get criticized for not intercepting the planes, NORAD might have lied about their level of readiness to make it look like they were more on the ball than they really were, even though they shouldn’t have been expected to be.
