One man's opinion: Evidence indicates that Wellstone crash was no accident
Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone was a serious man who cared profoundly
about his fellow citizens. He took courageous stands against an
administration that he viewed with profound suspicion, arguing eloquently
against tax cuts for the rich, the subversion of the Constitution, and
violating international accords. He would have led the opposition to the
war in Iraq if only he had had the chance. Everyone knew it and he may
have died because of it.
For nearly a year now, evidence has been accumulating about the event
that ended the life of this magnificent human being. Whatever caused the
crash was not the plane, the pilots or the weather. In spite of what you
may have heard, the plane was exceptional, the pilots well-qualified and
the weather posed no significant problems. Even the National
Transportation Safety Board's own simulations of the plane, the pilots and
the weather were unable to bring the plane down.
This means we have to consider other, less palatable, alternatives, such
as small bombs, gas canisters or electromagnetic pulse, radio frequency
or High Energy Radio Frequency weapons designed to overwhelm
electrical circuitry with an intense electromagnetic field. An abrupt
cessation of communication between the plane and the tower took place
at about 10:18 a.m., the same time an odd cell phone phenomenon
occurred with a driver in the immediate vicinity. This suggests to me the
most likely explanation is that one of our new electromagnetic weapons
was employed.
The politics of the situation were astonishing. The senator was pulling
away from the hand-picked candidate of the Bush machine. Its
opportunity to seize control of the U.S. Senate was slipping from its
grasp. Its vaunted "invincibility" was being challenged by an outspoken
critic of its most basic values. Targeted for elimination, he was going to
survive. Here's one man's opinion: Under such conditions, the temptation
to take him out may have been irresistible.
Among the striking indications that something was wrong with the NTSB in
its inquiry into the causes of the crash is that Carol Carmody, a former
employee with the CIA, the head of the team, announced the day after
that the FBI had found no indications of terrorist involvement. Yet it is the
responsibility of the NTSB to ascertain the cause of the crash, which has
yet to be determined to this very day.
So how could the FBI possibly know?
The FBI's prompt arrival was peculiar. As Christopher Bollyn of American
Free Press reported (www.rumor
millnews.net, Oct. 29, 2002), "According to Rick Wahlberg, then St. Louis
County sheriff, a team of FBI agents was quickly on the crash site about
noon, less than an hour after (assistant manager Gary) Ulman and the
(fire) chief had first located the site and found a way to access the wreck.
This FBI team had come from the distant Twin Cities in record time!"
When Bollyn "asked Ulman if he had notified the FBI about the accident,
Ulman said he had not spoken with the bureau at any time. Asked how
the FBI got to the site so quickly, Ulman said that he assumed they had
come from Duluth. AFP contacted the Duluth office of the FBI and was told
that the team of 'recovery' agents had not come from Duluth but had
traveled from the FBI office in Minneapolis."
I calculate that this team would have had to have left the Twin Cities at
about the same time the Wellstone plane was taking off.
Gary Ulman confirmed to me that the FBI had been on the scene no later
than 1 p.m.
I have reviewed the log books maintained by the Sheriff's Department at
Eveleth and have discovered that they are grossly incomplete and cannot
confirm when the FBI showed up.
The FAA has told me that its records of private aircraft arriving in Duluth
that morning have been destroyed, even though they might verify the
FBI's early arrival.
And the NTSB has canceled sessions where it would ordinarily take input
from the public.
Michael Ruppert (fromthe
wilderness.com, Nov. 1, 2002) has reported, "The day after the crash I
received a message from a former CIA operative who has proven
extremely reliable in the past and who is personally familiar with these
kinds of assassinations. The message read, 'As I said earlier, having
played ball (and still playing in some respects) with this current crop of
reinvigorated old white men, these clowns are nobody to screw around
with. There will be a few more strategic accidents. You can be certain of
that.' "
If you think that's a stretch, consider: Hundreds of young Americans have
been put in harm's way by a war that was promoted on the basis of lies
about weapons of mass destruction, collaboration with Osama bin Laden,
and Sept. 11.
Some 3,000 Americans were killed when the Twin Towers collapsed, and
yet the president and the vice president of the United States have done
everything they can to obstruct a open and honest investigation of the
causes of that traumatic event. And when a leak from his own
administration leads to the exposure of a CIA operative concerned with
weapons of mass destruction, the President tells us "we may never
know."
This is a corrupt administration.
One of the oddest events since the election is that Wellstone's successor
in the U.S. Senate, Norm Coleman, has been placed in charge of the
Senate Investigations Committee.
That is an extraordinarily sensitive responsibility to be placed upon a
freshman senator with no previous experience. My guess would be that it
has never happened before. But the reasoning behind it may not be that
difficult to fathom: Would anyone be less inclined to pursue the Wellstone
death?
One man's opinion: The evidence presented here and elaborated
elsewhere in detail establishes a prima facie case that this death was no
accident, that the motives were political and begs the question: Was the
White House involved?
An investigation by the St. Louis County prosecutor would be most
welcome.
In the chorus of memories for a man who made a difference, let us bear
in mind that truth is our only defense against an onslaught of lies that
have dominated a media that appears too weak or too complicit to resist.
JIM FETZER, a professor in the philosophy department at University of
Minnesota Duluth, is the editor of three books on the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy: "Assassination Science: Experts Speak Out on
the Death of JFK" (October 1997); "Murder in Dealey Plaza: What We
Know Now that We Didn't Know Then" (August 2000); "The Great
Zapruder Film Hoax: Deceit and Deception in the Death of JFK"
