In 2001, Zakheim was CEO of SPC International, a subsidiary of System Planning Corporation, a defense contractor specializing in electronic warfare technologies including remote-controlled aircraft systems. Such systems were capable of the remote-control of the Boeing 757's of the attack of 9/11, calling into question whether Israel, via Zakheim, was responsible for the attacks. Also in question are the planned controlled demolition of three WTC towers, evidently planned well ahead, an "inside job" and beyond the abilities of Arab terrorists, but very possibly carried out by Mossad demolition experts during the mysterious power blackout at the towers just before the attack. Notably the owner of the towers was a Zionist who profited billions from the insurance, and the head of WTC security was George Bush's brother. Zionists received warnings, and it is significant that while persons from 65 nations perished in the towers, not a single one was Israeli. It is certain that Israel benefited most from the 9/11 incident by having the USA cemented firmly into its Middle-Eastern agenda, and putting US troops in the center of that region, essentially under the Israeli policy of disrupting the region. 2001: A Space Odyssey. ...
