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.”
So what were the differences?
I guess we’ll have to buy the book to find out the shocking truth
The “article” is just a stinkin’ book tease.
#2 Gee, what a surprise! LOL
Blogging fail.
Please include some information next time.
Thanks for that.
Hands up anyone who is even remotely surprised..
Anyone?
So the towers didn’t actually collapse in New York, and were instead secretly taken to an underground bunker in Colorado!
# 6 Zybch said, “Anyone?”
No, it’s a typical, cheap way, to plug a new book.
We got spammed.
I agree with all the above. Most “truthers” trying to sell a book at least give us a morsel, a little tidbit, of what is in the book.
Something to whet our appetite.
Wait for the book debunking the book that debunked his book…
#10. So, the head of the 911 Commission is now a “truther”. Maybe THAT should bother you.
Thinking about it, it does!
Good point!!
Just another Truther nut trying to make some bucks with a lame story.
For instance: 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.
So if this “shocking story” is true, how come they did not contact the Justice Department?
Hmmm?
#13. “So if this “shocking story” is true, how come they did not contact the Justice Department?”
Yeah Ashcroft! The religious nutjob? Great Idea.

No, Eric Holder. The commission members could EASILY shoot him a note. Let us all know when that happens…
Nary a morsel of information in that article.
I’ll bet it’s just that NORAD had it’s fingers up it’s butt, and didn’t do anything.
Hmmmm Infowars? really? So we’re going there for accurate information about 9/11.
Why not? Alex Jones seems like a reasonable, educated and well-informed person.

Probably. They are tasked with watching craft entering
US/Canadian airspace, not point to point travel within that airspace…
#19. So what if the threat comes from overhead, as in satellites. Not their job? If not, then whose job is it?
# 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…

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…
