FEMA Admits Role of Informing, Monitoring and Controlling Media During Emergency Operations Like the September 11 Attacks

New York - Reporters from WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com confronted high ranking officials from FEMA on the agency’s involvement in misinformation on 9/11 as well as the existence of many hundreds of FEMA camps across the country and in most major cities– something officials obviously didn’t want to discuss.

One such official, Henry Jackson, was working in WTC Building 7 up until its collapse on 9/11. He currently serves as Deputy Commissioner for Technology and spoke at the public event.

FEMA officials briefed the audience on hazard plans for covering “most scenarios,” including operations to corral media into centralized reporting locations, monitoring media feeds and “controlling information.” That includes informing the public about ongoing emergency situations.

The FEMA chieftan also discussed evacuation on 9/11 and spoke about FEMA’s prime role in providing updates on the situation throughout the crisis. Hundreds of police and fire fighters, as well as former Mayor Giuliani were told beforehand that Building 7 would be ‘coming down.’ Additionally, several media stations, including the BBC and CNN reported the improbable collapse of WTC7 more than twenty minutes before the building actually fell. FEMA explained in its presentation that one of its chief duties is providing information to the media, as well as monitoring and correcting, if necessary, reports by the media.

These occurences of prior knowledge about Building 7 have become a smoking gun in the case for 9/11 as an inside job because no steel buildings have ever before or since collapsed from fire and there was no reason to believe Building 7 would collapse.

Based on the briefing by FEMA officials, it is probable that this kind of information flow came from FEMA on that day, and routinely would have in most emergency situations– but whether FEMA was the source of prior information about the WTC7 collapse is, of course, not clear and certainly not admitted to.

Reporter Nate Evans questioned FEMA’s Henry Jackson about the use of FEMA camps during crisis situations, as Jackson discussed the use of school buildings and other public facilities as make-shift locations. Jackson denied knowledge of more than 800 FEMA camps across the country which could hold more than 20 million people collectively. 

Henry Jackson seemed to have a memory refresh when Evans explained that the camps where discussed under the Rex-84 plan, at which point Jackson became uneasy and asked that the camera not be used to record because the Deputy Commissioner of Technology was “shy.”

Reporters agreed stop discussion of Rex-84, but refused to stop filming when Jackson asked for a business card, hinting at identification.

WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com reporters then confronted Henry Jackson outside the building about the impossible collapse of WTC7. Jackson was warned by a fellow employee that he was being filmed and both remained silent and started to leave amidst vocal reminders that 9/11 crimes would continue to be pursued and eventually prosecuted.

Like so many other entrenched government and media officials, Henry Jackson cowered in silence and ran away from reporters, despite Jackson’s own explanation that FEMA had played such a central role on September 11, particularly in the control of information.

The truth will come out about 9/11 and public servants can’t hide forever. The guilty will be prosecuted and the republic will be restored.
