for all of us, what we could or should be told about the TWA 800 tragedy.
Mr. Deep and Mr. Throat were the last two individuals to be officially allowed into the guarded hangar in Calverton, N.Y., before the government discarded (yes, discarded) the reconstructed 747. After years of retrieving all those bits and pieces from the bottom of the ocean, reassembling same, the U.S. Government “discarded” the reconstruction.
During their time in the hangar, while Mr. Deep distracted the Federal watchdog who allowed them access, Mr. Throat took the series of digital pictures of the fully reconstructed airplane, including the unexploded center fuel tank.
I’ve since spoken to both Deep and Throat, and they are willing to submit (anonymously) to a battery of polygraphers of my choice to attest to the following:
Their capacity allowed them official access to the Calverton, N.Y. secret, guarded warehouse.
They took the pictures.
They were not allowed/authorized to do so.
One of them is a qualified Captain on B747’s (in addition to other official functions).
One of them is a qualified maintenance/mechanic on B747’s (in addition to other official functions).
The pictures provided to me have not been tampered with, altered or duplicated in any way.
The pictures were the last taken of the actual TWA 800 reconstruction
The pictures, and what they observed, show that no explosion to the CFT brought down TWA 800.
The seats and carpeting (all placed back in their original order and positions) show no burning, singeing or explosive damage, in the area over the Center Fuel Tank.
The only singeing observed was on one exterior portion of the fuselage. “Okay, well, what really happened,” I finally get a chance to ask?
It seems that on the night of July 17th, in “hot” zone W-105 (off the coast of Long Island, New York), our Navy was testing anti-missile missiles. An American missile/or missiles with proximity switches (they explode near, but do not penetrate the target), being test fired by the U.S. Navy,
accidentally killed TWA 800. Or, an American missile or missiles, obtained by and used by terrorists, brought down TWA 800.
As quickly as it happened, it was over. Flight 800 was gone, spread as a flaming swath across the ocean.
The guys say that… “All I can tell you is that by 2am on July 18th, White House staff members on conference calls, had indicated to key Federal Intelligence personnel that a friendly missile had shot down TWA 800, during a naval exercise. They had on their hands, they were told in that blamelessly antiseptic world of military corporatese, ‘
“But, why a cover-up? Why not tell the truth?”
I am told that now we are getting to “
“Remember, you’re talking July/August 1996, three months before the presidential elections. Clinton’s running for a second term.
U.S. Stinger missiles that we made available to the Muslim
Attempts to buy back 100 or more remaining missiles failed when the Clinton administration decided not to make the purchase. Some press reports claim an attempt was made to give the missiles back, an offer that was also, for some reason, refused by the Clinton administration.
It seems that when the U.S. failed to recover the remaining missiles, they were sold at international arms bazaars to the highest bidders. The buyers included surrogates for rogue states like Iran, according to “reliable military sources” and press reports.
“The United States, up until Flight 800, had never lost an airliner to a hostile missile. What the American public is not aware of — but the White House was very much aware of before July 1996, is that 26 Civilian Airliners have been shot down world-wide since the ‘80’s, when these (our unrecovered American-made) missiles became available on the open market.
The need for the Aegis class USS Normandy Anti-missile cruiser’s tests that night were to defend against the use of our own missiles against us.
“Clinton and his people did not want the American voters, only four months before the elections, to know that his administration was responsible for terrorist’s possession of American made missiles. That TWA 800 was brought down as a tragic by-product of Clinton non-policy at it’s worst.”
So, the whole cover-up was politically motivated? “What do you think?”
“So do you expect more acts of terrorism, a
“What do you think?”
“What I think is that after our planes, it’ll be our drinking water.”
“Ever hear of Anthrax?”
“What do you think?”

Mr. Clifford Cormany, an F.B.I. Polygrapher (now of Cormany Polygraph Services, Greensboro, Ga. 30642) and I spent half a day together in a hotel room at a Jacksonville, Fla., hotel, allowing Mr. Cormany to ask me any and every sort of question imaginable about my stories. This lie-detector test was independently arranged and paid for by Nash Entertainment, a Los Angeles based maker of reality television shows, which had me come out to be part of one of their programs.
This session with Mr. Cormany was the most intimate I’ve ever been with anyone in a hotel room without sex being involved. Cormany listened to these stories, had me write them out in front of him. Then I read the documents over with him aloud, signed each page, and swore to their total accuracy, as well as to my desire to tell him the entire truth.
Then began a four-hour process, during which he hooked me up to a Polygraph machine, a “lie detector.” Testing me for honesty, he asked me his series of questions based on all that we had covered… not once, but three separate times, stopping the process between each series, so that he might, out of my range of vision, determine if he had “valid tape.” The questions for each of the three sessions were mixed up, and asked in a different order so that I could not anticipate which question would be coming next. A technique, I assume, to enhance any residual anxiety on my part, making it harder to fool the machine.
I was pronounced to have told the whole, unaltered truth.
