TWA 800 AND THE CRUMBLING COVER-UP
THE SMOKING GUN IS EXPOSED
By: William A. Shields
To call it a “smoking gun†was never more appropriate, for it was nearly exactly that.
When a piece of seatback was removed from the TWA 800 evidence hangar, it was found to be smeared with a foreign substance that left a track through the plane’s cabin. The FBI has refused to release test results of this particular substance, and has classified the results secret for reasons of national security.
Now I clearly remember the reports about this evidence being “stolenâ€, and that the FBI’s point man, James Kallstrom, intended to prosecute the “conspiracy nut†that was “thwarting†the REAL investigation.
You know, in the world of the big media talking heads and government whores like Jimmy Kallstrom’s FBI, things are not always what they seem to be. Sometimes things get dressed up like – well, J. Edgar Hoover in heels and a spaghetti strap cocktail dress. It makes for a real ugly picture.
And now the whole, mostly shocking, sometimes sad tale is becoming known, and the cover-up story is starting to unravel like a cheap sweater. And lo and behold, the villains are wearing the badges and the press passes, and the heroes were being prosecuted and persecuted by cowards who would (and did) commit serial felonies rather than stand up to their employers.
Now let me state something for the record. James Kallstrom, formerly of the FBI, is a liar, a coward and a traitor to everything this country is supposed to stand for. Mr. Kallstrom stated that the “smoking gun†residue on the seats was in fact, glue. This was a false statement and Kallstrom knew it was false when he stated it for public consumption.
The details are all coming out as a result of a lawsuit filed by the brave investigative journalist (how rare) James Sanders, and those details are chronicled in Jack Cashill’s article.
TELL IT TO THE MARINES
I can tell you that I was never fooled by the story about TWA 800. I knew from the instant that Mr. Kallstrom opened his pie chopper to gas us with this sad and sickly sea story that it was all so much garbage.
As a former air traffic controller, I once worked in the same radar sector that handled TWA 800 and other JFK overseas departures. As a former Marine, I also am familiar with the capabilities and characteristics of the Stinger shoulder fired anti-aircraft missile. Even so, I checked with a close friend who once fired USMC Stingers for a living, and he assured me that TWA 800 was in range, and considering the type of aircraft, speed and altitude, would be like “hitting a bull in the *** with a shovelâ€. Also, knowing that the evening departures come one after another, about five miles apart along the southern shore of Long Island, heavy with fuel and climbing slowly, it all made sense. If one was to pick a time and place to shoot down a U.S. airliner, this was not only a good place, it was a veritable shooting gallery of Long Island ducks. In a small boat, one could take the shot and drop the spent delivery system overboard.
I refuse to believe that TWA 800 just happened to explode at that particular point in time, at that low altitude, in that area so perfect for a shooting. What’s more, I can demonstrate that the federal government doesn’t believe it either. Their “explanation†is that the center fuel tank exploded. Then why are all other Boeing 747’s still flying? Why not ground them and fix the problem that caused such a catastrophic event? The answer is as obvious as it is frightening.
And now, thanks to one whistleblower and one gutsy journalist, the truth about our government’s outrageous and felonious behavior is coming to light. So where is our august mainstream media now? Are they correcting the record? Hardly. They won’t give the truth a spot of ink, but when it comes to cover-up and character assassination, they are not so niggardly.
