FLASHBACK: Hollywood Star James Woods Witnessed 9/11 Dry-Run (VIDEO)

Joshua Caplan of Gateway Pundit reports:

On a flight from Boston to Los Angeles, Hollywood star and firebrand conservative James Woods witnessed what the FBI believes was a ‘dry-run’ for the 9/11 attacks. According to Reuters, Woods “tipped off the FBI about his encounter with four suspicious airline passengers a month before last Tuesday’s attacks on America.”

ABC News reported:

On a flight from Boston to Los Angeles about a month ago, Woods observed four men of apparent Middle Eastern origin acting so oddly that he reported them to the flight attendants and authorities on the ground when he landed.

The Oscar-nominated actor told the FBI last week that he was alone in first class with the four men and noticed during the entire cross-country flight that none of them had anything to eat or drink, nor did they read, sleep, or appear to make themselves comfortable. They sat erect in their seats and stared straight ahead, saying nothing to flight attendants and speaking to each other only in inaudible tones.

[…]The flight now appears to have been a dry run for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, in which hijackers seized and crashed four commercial planes, including one flying the same Boston-to-Los Angeles route. The day after the terrorists crashed the planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in western Pennsylvania, Woods called the FBI to report his eerie experience.

Sixteen years ago today the US came under attack by radical Islam. 2,997 people were murdered in a series of coordinated attacks by the Islamic group Al-Qaeda. The Twin Towers at the World Trade Center were destroyed in the attacks.

Today One World Trade Center stands in its place.

And today America has a populist president who puts Americans first.

On Monday September 11, 2017, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump honored those lost on 9-11 with a moment of silence at the White house.

Bannon Scorches Earth On 60 Minutes: GOP Establishment Trying To Nullify The 2016 Election

Former Trump campaign manager and White House strategist Steve Bannon sat down with 60 minutes for his first interview since his ouster from the White House, where he dropped a succession of truth MOABS about D.C. corruption, and clarified his positions on everything from immigration to civil rights, to Comey, to “not very bright” Hillary Clinton, to what ol’ Steve is up to these days.

Bannon called out Clinton, Obama, Bush, Gary Cohn, Condoleezza Rice, Susan Powell, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and called white supremacist David Duke a loser.

When it comes to the swamp, Bannon says “you’re not going to drain the swamp in 8 months. You’re not going to drain it in 2 terms… it was built over the past 50 years,” adding that the GOP Establishment is trying to ‘nullify’ the 2016 election:

Huffington Post contributor Yashar Ali gave a stellar and unbiased play by play of Bannon’s comments, presented below (with more video following):

Sessions Wants To Polygraph Every Single NSC Employee To Find Leakers

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has reportedly told co-workers that he seeks to interrogate the entire National Security Council (NSC) staff with a lie detector test to “root out leakers,” according to Axios.

Sessions’ idea is to do a one-time, one-issue, polygraph test of everyone on the NSC staff. Interrogators would sit down with every single NSC staffer (there’s more than 100 of them), and ask them, individually, what they know about the leaks of transcripts of the president’s phone calls with foreign leaders. Sessions suspects those leaks came from within the NSC, and thinks that a polygraph test — at the very least — would scare them out of leaking again.

Sessions has told associates he likes the idea of targeting the foreign leader phone calls because there’s a small enough universe of people who would have had access to these transcripts. Also, the idea that the President of the United States can’t have private conversations with foreign leaders was a bridge too far, even for Democrats.

That said, doubt has been cast on Polygraph tests – which are apparently easy to beat according to Russell Tice – nearly 20 year NSA veteran turned whistleblower on warrantless wiretapping.

Via US News:

Tice, who is no longer at the NSA, says he, along with those still in contact with at the agency, marvel at how easy it is to beat the lie detector.

First, Tice says, a person can trick the tester on “probable-lie” questions. During a polygraph’s pre-test interview, the tester usually asks a person to answer questions they are likely to lie about. These include questions like: ‘Have you ever stolen money?,’ ‘Have you ever lied to your parents?,’ or ‘Have you ever cheated on a test?’. Most people have done these at least once, but lie about it. So the tester uses a person’s response to a likely lie as a way to establish how a person physically reacts while lying.

Tice says to trick the tester, a person should lie in response to these questions like most other people would, but also bite their tongue hard while doing so, which will set off other physiological reactions in the body. The tester’s “needles will fly everywhere,” says Tice, “and he will think, ‘This guy is a nervous nelly. He has a strong physical reaction when he’s lying.'”

Think of a warm summer night… or drinking a beer, whatever calms you. You’re throwing them off,” he says. “The needle might nip a little [because you’re lying], but not off the charts.” And since the person has already convinced the tester that they have off-the-charts physiological reactions while lying, Tice says, a small reaction likely won’t tip the tester off.

#Irma Update: Projected To Hit South Of Tampa As Cat-4

It looks like #Irma is scraping along Cuba, slowing it down and pitching it up the west coast of Florida for an early Monday hit just south of Tampa.

Meanwhile, you can check out a (currently) live cam from Duval street in Key West. It’s interesting to watch the random interloper walking or biking around in the jaws of death.

Simulation of Miami Flooding If Hurricane #Irma Is A Direct Hit

Right now, category 4 Hurricane Irma is brushing up against Cuba, which should slow it down somewhat. While it’s still forecast to hit FL as a Cat5, a straight shot missing Cuba into the 90 degree waters south of Florida would be a worst case scenario.

And while current forecasts have Irma hitting the southwest region of Florida, continuing up into the Tampa region, the folks at Climate Central have put together a simulation of what Miami would look like on Sunday morning, according to Friday AM storm surge forecasts.

Update: Climate Central has offered this update. Apparently they #FakeNews’d us with an ‘incorrect tidal point reference.’ Still a very interesting simulation.

Wherever Irma hits, it’s not going to be pretty.

Fox Fires Eric Bolling For Pervin’ On Female Colleagues With Lewd Texts

Fox has shitcanned host Eric Bolling and cancelled his show, “The Specialists,” after 10 years with the network.

Bolling was suspended last month, after Huffington Post contributor Yashar Ali published a bombshell article was published accusing the host and former commodities trader of sending unsolicited dick pics to at least three female colleagues at Fox several years ago – according to a dozen sources. Bolling filed a lawsuit against Ali and the Huffington Post over the article.

The women did not solicit the messages, which they told colleagues were deeply upsetting and offensive. One of the recipients said that when she replied to Bolling via text, telling him never to send her such photos again, he did not respond. Four people, outside of the recipients, confirmed to HuffPost they’d seen the photo, and eight others said the recipients had spoken to them about it. -HuffPo

Hours after Bolling was suspended, another woman stepped forward to claim Bolling sexually harassed her. Frequent Fox guest Caroline Heldman claims that Bolling “wanted to fly me out to New York for in-studio hits and to have ‘fun.’ He asked me to have meals with him on several occasions, but I found excuses not to go,” adding “Once, he took me up to his office in New York, showed me his baseball jerseeys, and in the brief time I was there, let me know that his office was his favorite place to have sex.” –Philly.com

Bolling’s ouster is the second high-profile Fox employee to get canned over allegations of inappropriate behavior. In April, hos Bill O’Reilly was fired after it was revealed that the network paid millions of dollars in settlements to a string of women who accused him of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior.

And a year before that, the late Fox co-founder Roger Ailes was given his walking papers amid a slew of sexual harassment charges.

Come on Fox, sort yourselves out.

Cat-5 Irma’s intensity is no joke. After obliterating the Virgin Islands – including Richard Branson’s house, the latest projections have the Texas-sized hurricane right up the center of Florida.

Look at what it did to the Dutch island of St Maarten:

No joke, if you’re in Florida – GET THE FUCK OUT NOW.

Hackers Steal Up To 143 Million Social Security Numbers In Massive Equifax Breach

Credit agency Equifax announced late Thursday that approximately 143 million Americans had their personal data stolen in a massive hack between May and July of this year. The hackers gained access to names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and in some cases – driver’s license numbers.

Via ZeroHedge

The company, which in delightful irony offers credit-monitoring and identity-theft protection products to “guard consumers’ personal information”, said that it had learned of the incident on July 29, 2017, at which point it reported the intrusion to law enforcement and contracted a cybersecurity firm to conduct a forensic review: based on the company’s investigation, the unauthorized access occurred from mid-May through July 2017. Oddly enough, it took shareholders and over a third of America, more than a month longer to learn that all their personal data may have been compromised.

As if 143 million leaked social security numbers wasn’t enough, Equifax said that criminals also accessed credit card numbers for approximately 209,000 U.S. consumers, and certain dispute documents with personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers. But wait, there’s more: the company also identified unauthorized access to limited personal information for certain UK and Canadian residents.

The best part? 

Equifax decided to hold off on announcing the hacking news until after three executives sold nearly $1.8 million in shares days after the breach was discovered. (Bloomberg)

The credit-reporting service said late Thursday in a statement that it discovered the intrusion on July 29. Regulatory filings show that three days later, Chief Financial Officer John Gamble sold shares worth $946,374 and Joseph Loughran, president of U.S. information solutions, exercised options to dispose of stock worth $584,099. Rodolfo Ploder, president of workforce solutions, sold $250,458 of stock on Aug. 2. None of the filings lists the transactions as being part of 10b5-1 pre-scheduled trading plans.

“This is clearly a disappointing event for our company, and one that strikes at the heart of who we are and what we do,” Equifax Chief Executive Richard Smith said in prepared remarks. “I apologize to consumers and our business customers for the concern and frustration this causes.”

Equifax ($EFX) cascaded lower as much as 19% after hours
