Dear Mr. McNerney:

Boeing paid a $615M fine to DOJ regarding illegal modifications to Boeing airliners.

Through 5+ years of research I have drawn the conclusion that even though Boeing alleges they have quit installing QRS11 GyroChips on Thales flight guidance hardware, nowhere can I find evidence that the 108+ illegally modified jets have been cleansed of the QRS11  (Raytheon/Rose Law) and another modification of a more sinister nature.

I was scheduled to upgrade to the B744-400 but until I receive a notarized letter from you personally identifying all airaft so modified, and claiming that 100% of the modified airlines have been cleansed of these two mods I cannot perform my duties as a B747-400 Captain.  My obligations are enumerated on page 9.1.1 of my company FOM as well in as a feature story in the March issue of "Air Line Pilot" from which I quote "If a Captain's decision is challenged by his management, the FAA, or the courts, ALPA has always stood 100% behind the Captain. Captains can be assured that ALPA will use all of it's resources to defend and preserve their authority because that is the keystone to a safe and secure flight."  UA93 was destroyed in the Keystone state. KI574 was destroyed in the seas of Indonesia.  If I determine that another Boeing is downed in this manner I will retire early and work as an expert witness, full time.  If numerous Boeings are down, ala 9-11, we at least no know many of the perpetrators in advance.

I told ALPA, an airline company, Northern Command and one additional Flag Rank Naval Officer of these modifications and how they are related to the events of 9-11.  That message was sent, and acknowledged on or about 12-11-06.  Hearing nothing of consequence other than ALPA's suggestion to contact the FBI, I was shocked on 1-1-07 when Adam Air 574 was vaporized in the method that I had warned the four informed offices of on 12-11-06.

In the event of a single vaporizing Boeing in the time between when I send this to you, 1130 2-23-07, and the receipt of your assurance that it is now safe for me to fly or ride in all Boeing aircraft I will consider that an act of war with the parties named below as the suspects.

Thank you for your timely consideration and response.

Dear Mr. McNerney:

I am asking for help from Boeing's board of directors in tracing the teachers' national pension funds (TIAA-CREF) through the CAI private-equity group of world bankers, allegedly including David Rockefeller, who appear to have sponsored Boeing SWAT* teams in simulated attacks on America during the war games of 9/11. http://www.caifunds.com/ourinvestors.html 

SWAT* special weapons and tactics teams   

My analysis of the real attacks on 9/11, suggests that `red-team' commanders used Boeing communications satellites to guide and control 'drone-or-decoy' aircraft and rocket-fueled cluster bombs.

I believe that CAI's "50 prominent individuals" and some past and present Boeing directors invested North American teachers' pension funds in a 9/11 securities and insurance fraud. http://www.boeing.com/corp_gov/board_directors.html http://www.stopcorporateabuse.org/cms/page1173.cfm

Boeing's Thuraya and Iridium satellites would have allowed CAI bankers to communicate with 'al-Qaeda' commanders throughout 9/11.

CAI has custody of many North American teachers' pension and insurance funds and therefore controls the Teachers' proxy votes in - and military procurement from - war-gaming companies such as Boeing and Canada's Macdonald Dettwiler and Associates ('MDA').

The images below show how MDA could have guided Boeing aircraft in the drone-or-decoy maneuvers that appear to have killed Captain Gerald DeConto, the duty officer in the Pentagon Naval Command Center during the war games of 9/11. http://www.vterrain.org/Packages/Uses/SF_AFTERPS_R_screen.jpg http://www.mdacorporation.com/news/pr/images/US_Air_Force_Bases_Map_sm.jpg

The captain died when a 'hijacked' Boeing passenger jet was switched from a war-game decoy to a war-game drone and guided by Iridium along an MDA "Final Approach" corridor to deliver a payload of rocket-fuel incendiaries to DeConto's command center. http://www.mdacorporation.com/news/pr/pr2001050301.html

Captain DeConto died while he was on the phone to the secretary of the navy; possibly asking for permission to shoot down what he might have guessed was either a Boeing decoy or drone. http://www.geralddeconto5k.com/DeConto5k.pdf http://www.september11victims.com/september11victims/images/Victims/251.jpg

The 9/11 Commissioners said that we ('The People?') had a collective 'failure of the imagination' on 9/11 to conduct red-team analysis and collect telltale indicators of what was needed to convert a large passenger jet into a fuel or explosives-laden weapon.

As a full member of the Scholars for 9/11 Truth and the co-host of the Black Hawk In. (Investigations) Show, I want to make sure that we do not make that same mistake twice.

I would therefore be grateful if you could provide Doug Cantwell, Boeing Press Officer at 206 662-0949, with a contact list of Boeing directors (see notes below), bankers, investors (e.g. CAI custodians of TIAA-CREF funds) and engineers with whom I, or any other concerned citizen, could discuss Boeing's past and present war-game operations.

I want to trace teachers' funds and Boeing SWAT teams through war games such as Amalgam Virgo (June 1-2, 2001), Global Guardian (9/11) and 'Valiant Shield' an apparently-bogus naval exercise starting on Monday, June 19th to coincide with "Forward Challenge '06", an apparently-bogus and probably-treasonous continuity of government exercise - the largest since 9/11.

Thank you in advance for your urgent co-operation.

Yours sincerely,


David Hawkins

Notes:
"Did Teachers' banks sponsor Boeing 9/11 war games?"

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." David Rockefeller [JP Morgan Chase] Baden-Baden, Germany 1991

"A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is one of the world's largest space and defense businesses. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is a $30.8 billion business. It provides network-centric system solutions to its global military, government and commercial customers. It is a leading provider of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems; the world's largest military aircraft manufacturer; the world's largest satellite manufacturer; a foremost developer of advanced concepts and technologies; a leading provider of space-based communications; the primary systems integrator for U.S. missile defense; NASA's largest contractor; and a global leader in sustainment solutions and launch services."

Boeing's Iridium satellite communication network will provide command and control functions for 'Valiant Shield' an apparently-bogus naval war game scheduled to start on Monday, June 19th at the same time as "Forward Challenge '06" an apparently-bogus continuity of government exercise - the largest since 9/11. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060604/NEWS08/606040353/1018/NEWS http://blog.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2006/06/back_to_the_bunker.html

Our research suggests that members of the Boeing board and the $300 billion TIAA-CREF* teachers and college pension funds are being targeted for extortion by agents acting for the CAI Private Equity Group based in New York, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. http://www.ameinfo.com/images/press/boeing200303.jpg http://www.caifunds.com/specialinvestors.html

Boeing's investors launched a Thuraya satellite (as used by al-Qaeda's field commanders such as Osama bin Laden and al-Zarqawi) on Oct. 21, 2000 for Thuraya Satellite Telecommunications Co. of the United Arab Emirates with a Sea Launch Zenit-3SL rocket from the equator in the middle of the Pacific Ocean .. first satellite to be launched under Boeing Satellite Systems Inc. (BSS), the company formed when The Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) purchased Hughes Space and Communications Co. earlier in October. (Aluminum oxide white smoke in picture is just like WTC#7). http://www.space.com/images/h_sealaunch_001021a_03.jpg http://www.spacedaily.com/news/sealaunch-00p.html

List of past and present Boeing directors with presumed knowledge of 9/11 war games.   

John H. Biggs, Boeing director since 1997. Mr. Biggs served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer [and was therefore a custodian] of TIAA-CREF (national teachers' pension fund) from January 1993 until November 2002. He is also a director of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

John E. Bryson, Boeing director since 1995. Director of The Walt Disney Company [Media has ignored special weapons, physics and maneuvers of 9/11 attacks, impossible for al-Qaeda to have executed unaided].

Phil Condit, Elected president and member of the board of directors of Boeing in 1992, Chief executive officer in 1996 and chairman in 1997. Phil Condit resigned from his position as chairman and chief executive officer of The Boeing Company on Dec. 1, 2003. He retired from the company in March 2004. [An illustrious aeronautical engineer, Phil Condit appears to have been forced off the Boeing board and out of the company by the Teachers' bankers involved in the U.S. Air Force procurement frauds with the convicted former Boeing director, Darleen Druyun. Condit's ouster means there is now no-one on the Boeing board capable of answering questions or bearing witness to modifications procured on and maneuvers executed by Boeing 737s, 757s and 767s to bypass the U.S. Air Force on 9/11.]

Linda Z. Cook, Boeing director since 2003. Ms. Cook was appointed Managing Director, Royal Dutch Petroleum Company, CEO Shell Gas & Power (integrated petroleum) in August 2004. [Shell has been coerced into joining UN Global Compact where UN custody of the global commons is enforced by insurance contracts sold by CAI's Groupe AXA].

William M. Daley, Boeing director since 2006. Chairman of Midwest region for JPMorgan Chase & Co and has served on its International Council [with David Rockefeller] since May 2004. Mr. Daley served as the U.S. Secretary of Commerce from January 1997 to June 2000 [after an alleged thermite bomb killed his predecessor, Ron Brown]. Mr. Daley served as chairman of Vice President Albert Gore's 2000 presidential election campaign [I believe Gore promotes bogus global-warming science to enrich CAI world bankers in a Kyoto carbon kickback racket].

Darleen Druyun, a former weapons buyer for the U.S. Air Force, became a Boeing vice president in late 2002 after allowing Boeing to pump up the price tag by $6 billion on a lease agreement for one hundred 767s tankers and giving special consideration on other billion-dollar contracts awarded to Boeing. Ms. Druyun was charged, convicted and jailed for her role in the U.S. Air Force procurement frauds which I believe included the use of the teachers' national pension funds to finance the development of Boeing's SWAT teams and 9/11 war-game technologies.  

Kenneth M. Duberstein, Boeing director since 1997. He was White House Chief of Staff in 1988 and 1989. Mr. Duberstein is also a director of Fannie Mae [Fannie Mae appears to be a major investor in the World Trade Center double-occurrence insurance fraud through GMAC].  

Paul E. Gray, Boeing director since 1990 to 2004. President Emeritus and Professor of Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Former Chairman, MIT, 1990–97 [during part of which time (1994-5) an MIT professor of chemistry, John Deutch, served as the subsequently-disgraced director of the CIA. Dr. Deutch was pardoned by outgoing U.S. president Bill Clinton in January 2001. I believe, however, that by 9/11, the MIT and CIA expert in solution chemistry, molecular thermodynamics and kinetics had already transferred top-secret information to Boeing's "al-Qaeda" SWAT teams for use in manufacturing the rocket-fuel incendiaries that appear to have vaporized evidence of assassination and insurance fraud on 9/11].

John F. McDonnell, Boeing director since 1997. Mr. McDonnell served as Chairman of McDonnell Douglas Corporation (aerospace) from 1988 until its merger with Boeing in 1997 and as its Chief Executive Officer from 1988 to 1994.

W. James McNerney Jr., Boeing director since 2001. Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Boeing Company, effective July 1, 2005. Beginning in 1982, he served in management positions at General Electric Company, his most recent being President and Chief Executive Officer of GE Aircraft Engines, 1997 until 2000 [GE is researching pulse detonation engines consistent with Boeing planes being modified into rocket-fueled drones].

Richard Nanula, Boeing director since 2005. He held a variety of executive positions at the Walt Disney Company from 1986 until 1998 [Media has ignored special weapons, physics and maneuvers of 9/11 attacks, impossible for al-Qaeda to have executed unaided].

Rozanne L. Ridgway, Director Since 1992, Former Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Canada. Ms. Ridgway served 32 years with the U.S. State Department, including service as Ambassador to the German Democratic Republic and to Finland, and, from 1985 until her retirement in 1989, as Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Canada [The State Department was a major buyer of Boeing's Iridium radios, allowing it to control continuity of government during 9/11 after the chain of command to President Bush had been sabotaged].

John M. Shalikashvili. Boeing director since 2000 and retired Chairman of U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff who is allegedly proud of his Waffen SS father. The JCS changed rules of interception for June 1-2, 2001 war game to check if Boeing decoys or drones could reach their 9/11 targets unintercpted. Formerly NATO's 10th Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. [I believe that Boeing's remotely-controlled drone-or-decoy maneuvers for 9/11 were tested and developed at the Bombardier operated NATO flight training school in Moose Jaw, Sask. I also believe that on 9/11, a Boeing drone knocked out Pentagon wire and wireless networks and that U.S. naval communications were then moved across to Boeing's Iridium network, Nortel routers and NATO]. The following excerpt suggests the growth of a treasonous conspiracy in the Clinton White House. "U.S.-CHINA ENGAGEMENT: BY GENERAL JOHN M. SHALIKASHVILI at PLA NATIONAL DEFENSE UNIVERSITY BEIJING, CHINA MAY 14, 1997. Our new national [Clinton] strategy .. cut our military personnel [with] reduction of 700,000 high quality volunteers, [cut out] soul of our Armed Forces and source of our military power .. reduce Army divisions and Air Force wings by 45 percent, and Navy ships by 38 percent .. I asked staff to distribute charts which show current location and status of all of our forces worldwide .. I will leave behind publications that detail the characteristics of nearly every major American weapons system, as well as other pieces of equipment." http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/press/release/1997/wwwhit22.html 

Mike S. Zafirovski, Director since 2004, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nortel Corporation. Mr. Zafirovski serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Nortel Corporation effective November 15, 2005. [On 9/11, a Boeing drone knocked out Pentagon wire and wireless networks and U.S. naval communications were moved to Boeing's Iridium network, Nortel routers and NATO]. He served as Executive Vice President and President of the Personal Communications Sector of Motorola, Inc. from June 2000 until July 2002. [On 9/11, the New York firefighters went into the North and South Towers and died with their Motorola analog radios which appear to have been jammed because they did not get the orders to evacuate. Meanwhile FEMA and others had Motorola Iridium satellite radios and survived].

CAI Private Equity Insiders http://www.apfn.net/Messageboard/02-11-05/discussion.cgi.46.html 

CAI operates out of front offices in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and New York. We suggest that the CAI insiders of particular interest in the context of physical or virtual war rooms, Arabic-speaking paramilitary SWAT teams and 9/11 motivation, include:

Lynton (Red) Wilson, Chairman of Nortel Networks (web-enabled war rooms) and CAE (advance flight simulators). Wilson and the Honorable Brian Mulroney are on the international board of management of JP Morgan - a global custodian handling 41% of the $100 billion UN Oil-for-Food scam with BNP Paribas handling 59%.Wilson is also a member of the Carlyle Canada Advisory group with the Honorable Frank McKenna, Paul Desmarais Sr., and Frank Carlucci who preceded Wilson as chair of the scandal-plagued Nortel.

Pierre Lortie, Director of CAI Capital Corporation. Former President and CEO of The Montreal Stock Exchange. President and Chief Operating Officer of Bombardier Transportation. Former President and Chief Operating Officer of Bombardier International Inc. and Bombardier Capital. Former President of Bombardier's Regional Aircraft Division. Presumed principal in the creation and operation of the $2.8 billion NATO flight training schools in Canada where we believe the al-Qaeda mission controllers learned their craft on Nortel/MDA integrated war rooms, CAE advanced flight simulators for Boeing 757s and 767s and Bombardier CE 144 combat-support jets.

Mohammed al-Zaibak, Syrian-born Saudi-educated Canadian citizen. Member of a Team Canada delegation to China sponsored by Bombardier on February 2001 with Canadian prime minister, Jean Chretien, and Chretien's son-in-law and director of Bombardier, Andre Desmarais.

Laurence Pathy, Chairman of CSL Equity Investments Ltd with presumed links to board of directors of the original CSL Owners, Power Corp of Montreal, the de facto managers of BNP Paribas, the global custodian under investigation in the UN Oil-for-Food scam.

General Alexander Haig, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander

The Honourable Donald S. Macdonald, former Canadian Minister of Finance, Minister of Defense, Minister of Energy, and President of the Privy Council underCanada's late radical socialist prime minister, Pierre Trudeau. Former Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.

Listed below are 28 of the "50 prominent individuals" in the CAI Private Equity Group, the alleged custodians of the teachers' national pension funds on the morning of 9/11.

I believe that the remaining 22 CAI 'names' include David Rockefeller, Paul Desmarais Senior, William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Roderick Clinton and John Deutch, the disgraced former director of the CIA, currently director of Raytheon, Citigroup and Schlumberger. http://web.archive.org/web/20010802031822/www.caifunds.com/Special.htm 

"CAI and our investee companies benefit from the participation of our SPECIAL INVESTORS, a group of seasoned leaders, most of whom have spent their careers running large and diverse businesses. Collectively, they have served as directors of over one hundred leading North American companies. They assist CAI and our portfolio companies by identifying and creating opportunities for investment and growth as well as, on occasion, serving on the boards of those companies."
