Here’s a thorough list of war games and terror drills leading up to and on 9/11/01:

On October 14, 2009, Thomas C. Reed, who was a nuclear weapons designer, Secretary of the Air Force during the Ford and Carter administrations and the 6th director of the National Reconnaissance Office, was at the University of Southern California to give a lecture based on his book entitled “The Nuclear Express and the Prevention of Nuclear Terror.” After giving an international history of the development of nuclear weapons and describing some of the political forces that shaped many countries’ decisions to pursue nuclear weapons, Reed turned to focus on the potential threat of nuclear terrorism in the current day and age.

Reed, while showing charts showing the likely destruction patterns of different size nuclear weapons detonated in Los Angeles, made the assertion that “there is a significant danger of a nuclear event in the West soon…during this President’s term of office…”

During the question and answer session, Jeremy Rothe-Kushel, asking the first question by presenting war-game and terror-drill data from the 9/11 operation, openly suggested that the threat of nuclear terrorism was more of an intrastitial, or coup d’etat-type, threat represented by the “apparent treason infecting the deep bowels of the National Security Apparatus.”

——————

TCR: Now the first lesson I want to impress upon you, especially you of the younger generation is there is a significant danger of a nuclear event in the West soon…during this President’s term of office…

Nuclear weapons are very serious things. In my career, I was involved with the Titan missile…

Titan carried a 10 megaton warhead…

A 10 megaton warhead detonated on City Hall in Los Angeles produces this result: The dark circle is “nothing survives.” Reinforced concrete structures-gone. Notice that USC is right there. [laughter]…

10 megatons is a very serious thing. It is not trivial. Now, terrorists are not capable of building that. That’s very sophisticated design and engineering. But terrorists may well design a 5 kiloton device…

5 kilotons you can get with a very amateurish design. Once you get the plutonium or the enriched uranium, then you can put on a truck or a barge or a boat and get enough ammonia and other stuff to have high explosives…

It is a quarter of the yield of the Nagasaki bomb. It is to me, as a designer, it is an embarrassingly low-tech device. But the results are not low-tech…

Here is a 5 kiloton device detonated in the Los Angeles Marina…

Put it on a yacht… A truck or a yacht, float it into the L.A. Marina and fire it. This is what goes on: Los Angeles Airport- gone. All of, you know, Santa Monica, is on fire. The circle is our fallout because they would fire this on the surface, which produces more fallout. It means that, as far as Baldwin Hills, everybody’s dead. As far as the campus here- again you see USC featured right there- basically, most of the people here are going to die within a week unless they get out of here or get treatment fast. That’s a small terrorist device.

That’s the sort of thing that might not happen at the L.A. Marina. It may be floated up the Hudson River. It may be floated up the Anacostia River in Washington. But the point is, you’ve got to pay attention, because that is a very distinct possibility. Bad guys can do that once they get their hands on fissile materials.

(Q+A)

JRK: Thank you very much.

Multiple national security insiders have, uh, spoken about the policy coup that took place in the wake of 9/11. And so, with the expertise of this panel, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to ask a question about the role that the inside, or intra-stitial, threat of nuclear terror might have played in the 9/11 operation itself. And this is best asked by briefly laying out a series of confluent war games and terror drills that were being run on 9/11, many of them mimetic of the attacks themselves.

Um, first of all, we have these aerial terror-games, where uh- Vigilant Warrior/Vigilant Guardian, live-fly hijack drills. We also have the National Reconnaissance Office, of which Mr. Reed, I think you were the 6th Director. They were running a drill of a plane flying into their building.

And then, quickly, there were bio-chemical terror, uh, drills going on outside of, uh, Manhattan with FEMA and the Army.

And then, finally, and this is very, uh, pertinent in terms of this panel, there was nuclear terror or warfare drills going on. One of them, Global Guardian, which had to do with Stratcom and had to do with a, uh, nuclear warfare scenario, and then, Operation Jackal Cave, uh, which had to do with the, uh, the Department of Energy’s secret, uh, bomb, uh, nuclear bomb, uh, squad. They were out of the country for the first time in three years to do a drill, uh- undoing a device.

So the question is—

The question is: In light of all these mimetic war games- and we know that, uh, coups, operational coups, are done under cover of drills- what is the relationship of the potential threat of nuclear terrorism to the apparent treason infecting the deep bowels of the National Security Apparatus?

{Silence with arm-waving deferment of the question all the way through the panel, until there is laughter from the audience and Mr. Reed realizes he is the one who must answer}

TCR: You know, uh, my response is that I’m not familiar with all the, uh, the, uh, wargames that were going on, um, before 9/11. Uh, but this, um, the, uh, trying to think through how you deal with those things are terribly important. And I think that’s where I ended up this evening is that I think I, uh, an important role for a university like this is to get those discussions out in the open and have a convocation on what are we going to do, uh, when that sort of thing {referring to the mushroom cloud on the screen} happens. Uh, do the drills and exercises cause the problem? No, I don’t think so, uh, anymore than, you know, medicines cause the diseases. But, um, there’s a lot of, uh, subterranean games, thinking about it go on. But I think what are we going to do really needs the public ventilation that a university can bring to bear.

JRK: But you’re saying that it was a coincidence that all these games were running on 9/11 that mimed what actually happened? Are you saying that?

TCR: Um, yeah. In a short answer, yeah, I don’t think that they’re connected.

Later, during the book signing, Mr. Reed admitted he had heard of some, but not all of the drills that had been mentioned. He again said that, because of the frequency of drills, he didn’t think that the mimetic drills were related to the 9/11 attacks. When asked whether he was familiar with the evidence for the demolitions of the WTC, Reed responded by saying “not really.” After Rothe-Kushel clued him in to and gave him information about the discovery of nanothermite and the presence of Richard Gage (AIA) and the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Reed thanked Rothe-Kushel for supplying him information.

Rothe-Kushel asked Reed what we should do as a people having found out that our fellow citizens were blown up by advanced weaponry.

“I’m not in the what-should-we-do business. I’m too old for all that. I’m a historian…I’d be interested in reading that, in reading the history, but what to do about it, that’s what we got universities and young guys like you.”

Rothe-Kushel then pointed out that the oath that Reed took never dies and that at some point is it not the case that at some point the truth becomes the way to protect and defend the Constitution.

Reed agreed, but then pointed out that at his age, one has a tendency to focus on what is for dinner that evening. Rothe-Kushel, in reference to the work and similar age of David Ray Griffin, left Reed with the thought that, “Patriotism doesn’t have any end date.”
“That’s true,” Reed affirmed.
