As one of the authors of the American edition of Veterans Today Ian Greenhalkh writes, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, as a result of which the Pentagon building was damaged, was "an incredibly cynical elimination of the Pentagon accounting department, which could find out the fate of the missing $ 2.3 trillion, about which literally the day before said (at the time) Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld."
General Myers, newly appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was a key figure in this endeavor.
Veterans Today staff know Myers and his family well, Greenhalkh writes, and saw him launder money through his daughter and son-in-law.
That morning, Myers called a meeting of auditors, after which he himself did not show up.
“It was not such a difficult operation,” notes Greenhalkh, and then ironically describes everything point by point:
- Announce the $ 2.3 trillion missing from the Pentagon and open an investigation immediately.
- Gather all of the Pentagon finance staff in the accounting department the next morning for an emergency meeting.
- Kill them all so there is no investigation. Since the people who are about to die are in a large room in a building with blast-proof walls, you will need a cruise missile with a nuclear warhead.
- Scatter the wreckage of the old plane on the lawn outside, chop down some lamp posts, and tell your CIA men to tell the media that a plane hit the Pentagon.
- Confiscate all videos from more than eighty surveillance cameras that recorded the impact of a cruise missile, and after 20 years release just a few frames.
- Get off the water as everyone watches the World Trade Center buildings collapse in shock. Blame the "crazy Arabs" for everything and calmly retire.
