Delta Employee Reportedly Fired After Speaking Out About JFK Security Breach
Monday, January 11, 2010
A Delta Airlines employee was fired after going to the airline's top officials with details of an alleged security breach at John F. Kennedy International Airport — one that came barely a week after the failed terror attack on a Detroit-bound flight on Christmas Day, according to a published report.
Eric Amankwah, a customer service agent in New York, says he was ordered by his supervisor on Jan. 2 to evade customs officials and deliver a suitcase to other airport employees so that it could be loaded onto an outgoing flight without inspection, the New York-based Black Star News reported.
Amankwah, 28, said he was told that Delta Airlines would be fined if the suitcase went through customs. The bag had a sticker reading "NAS," and may have been headed to the Nassau airport in the Bahamas, he told Black Star News, but said he did not know its contents.
Fearing that he had violated the law and was being set up by his bosses, he e-mailed and called two of his supervisors, seeking reassurance that he wouldn't face any disciplinary action over what he had been ordered to do.
Amankwah recorded his conversations and sent e-mails to Delta's CEO and other top executives on Jan. 5 about his "special assignment," he told the newspaper.
Returning to work that day, he says he was interviewed and suspended by Delta's director of operations at JFK. Amankwah said he had also been suspended in mid-December, and that a second suspension meant he was immediately terminated.
A lawyer for Amankwah told Fox News the details of the report are essentially correct.
But Delta Airlines spokesman Ed Stewart says Amankwah was not fired and that they very much want to talk with him. Stewart could neither confirm nor deny the rest of the story, but said an investigation is underway — and that Amankwah's supervisors are being interviewed.

SHIT!!!!
Talk about being placed in a double-down no-win bind, damned if he does, damned if he don't, which way to play it? -- Trust his boss won't steer him wrong or wonder why the subterfuge that stinks 1000 ways to Sunday isn't a set-up. Being blackballed for life or accessory to something very wrong -- whatta choice! So he takes precautions and comes clean, only to get -- get this! -- SLAMMED to the ground, for what? Having questioned his boss, embarrassed the company or handing the top brass a too-hot hot potato?
I've been attempting to write this article for the last 36 hours but the internet has been out at our hotel...............
It has been one year since the Underwear Bomber incident that changed my life. I'm not going to rehash the entire story of my account, as that is available here in my past postings on this blog. I just have a few things to say that I've been thinking about as I hike through the jungles of Thailand.
On January 28, 2010 I first posted that the Sharp Dressed Man was a U.S. Government Agent.
http://haskellfamily.blogspot.com/2010/ ... -been.html
I am now nearly 100% certain that I am correct.
Three days after I wrote the above blog post, I wrote the following post, which discusses what I considered to be the most important remaining questions regarding flight 253.
The third question that I asked, "Was the bomb intended to explode?", to me, is the entire key to the story and I believe it has been answered.
On January 31, 2010 I never would have dreamt of a scenario in which the U.S. Government would ADMIT that it was handing out fake bombs to terrorists, but that has now happened on two occasions that I'm aware of in 2010:
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=11684350
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/2 ... 88695.html
Also, if you take a look at this interview with the college kid that sat next to Umar (I refuse to call him a terrorist as he is a mere patsy) you can see that the U.S. Government seized all of his clothes:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... =123821351
The above three articles when taken together definitively solve the entire underwear bomber episode. The first two represent the modus operandi of the FBI/CIA, which is if nobody get hurt, fake bombs are o.k. I will discuss that aspect in a minute. When you look deeply at the third article you have to ask the question, why were all of his clothes seized? The bombing substance, allegedly PETN was all over the airplane cabin near Umar's seat. It is not like there was a lack of material to be tested. The truth is that the government seized it all so that nobody could test the real chemical composition to determine that the bomb was indeed a dud. If I would have known that I would be writing this article one year ago, I would have picked up some of the substance as I walked within inches of it.
If you accept that the Underwear Bomber had an intentionally defective bomb /fake bomb, then you need not answer any of the other questions that I posed on January 31, 2010 as the answers are either unnecessay or have only one possible explanation.
Before I get into that discussion, let me state that even if you accept that the bomb was fake, it does not mean that the plot had no victims. The last 10 minutes on flight 253 were the most terrifying moments of my life. For months I did not sleep, and my doctor diagnosed me with post traumatic stress disorder. It was also likely that without the fast acting efforts of a flight attendant with a fire extinguisher, that our plane would have blown up from the fire that resulted from the fake bomb.
Back to why the fake bomb is so important to this story...........
...Who was the Sharp Dressed Man? The answer is now certain that it was a U.S. Government agent sent to ensure that Umar boarded the plane. Obviosuly, the entire fraudulent plot fails if he fails to board the plane. Who was the Man in Orage? The answer is not really important anymore. It is likely that he supplied Umar with the dud bomb at Schipol Airport and was taken into custody after the bomb residue was found in his carry on bag....
.... Next, I would like to address why the U.S. Government would continue to stage such plots. There may be numerous answers to this question, but the answer regarding flight 253 was that the Patriot Act needed to be renewed and body scanners needed to be placed in the airports. What a perfect way to bring body scanners to the airports: stage a fake terrorist bombing when the bomb is in the bombers clothes....
... What is also etirely disturbing to me is that the media does not do any investigative journalism. My claims have not been followed up on. I have discoverd that the media is nothing but a mouthpiece for the U.S Government....

THE TRUTH ABOUT FLIGHT 253 HAS BEEN REVEALED- By Kurt Haskell
Edited January 29, 2009
***Please note that in the article that follows, I am not claiming that the U.S. Government knew Mutallab had a bomb or intended to hurt anyone on Flight 253 when the U.S. Government let him board.
THE SHARP DRESSED MAN WHO AIDED MUTALLAB ONTO FLIGHT 253 WAS A U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENT.
Since our flight landed on Christmas Day, Lori and I have been doing everything in our power to uncover the truth about why we were almost blown up in the air over Detroit. The truth is now finally out after the publication of the following Detroit News article:
http://detnews.com/article/20100127/NAT ... estigation
Let me quote from the article:
"Patrick F. Kennedy, an undersecretary for management at the State Department, said Abdulmutallab's visa wasn't taken away because intelligence officials asked his agency not to deny a visa to the suspected terrorist over concerns that a denial would've foiled a larger investigation into al-Qaida threats against the United States.
"Revocation action would've disclosed what they were doing," Kennedy said in testimony before the House Committee on Homeland Security. Allowing Adbulmutallab to keep the visa increased chances federal investigators would be able to get closer to apprehending the terror network he is accused of working with, "rather than simply knocking out one solider in that effort."'
Now it all becomes apparent. Let me detail everything we know about the "Sharp Dressed Man" (SDM).
1. While being held in Customs on Christmas Day, I first told the story of the SDM.
2. My story has never changed.
3. The FBI visited my office on December 29, 2009, and showed me a series of approximately 10 photographs. None were of the SDM. I asked the FBI if they brought the Amsterdam security video to help me identify the SDM, but they acted as though my request was ridiculous. The FBI asked me what accent the SDM spoke in and I indicated that he had an American accent similar to my own. I further indicated that he wore a tan suit without a tie, was Indian looking, around age 50, 6'0" tall and 250-260 lbs. I further indicated that I did not believe that he was an airline employee and that he was not on our flight.
4. During the first week of January, 2010, Dutch Military Police and the FBI indicated that over "200 Hours" of Amsterdam airport security video had been reviewed and it "Shows Nothing".
5. The mainstream media picked up the "Shows nothing" story, which slanders my story. After visiting my office twice for a flight 253 special, Dateline NBC and Chris Hanson indicated that my story was "Unsubstantiated rumor dispelled as myth" and our story did not air during the tv special.
6. On January 2, 2010, I receive a call from a flight 253 passenger who indicated to me that it may be in my best interest to stop talking publicly about the SDM because he believes I am "wrong" in what I saw. He did not make any claim that he saw the SDM boarding gate incident at all. This call was made out of the blue after he made a "revelation" of this event on January 1, 2010. I later discover that this caller has ties to the U.S. Government.
7. On January 20, 2009, current Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), Michael E. Leiter, made a startling admission. Leiter indicated that: "I will tell you, that when people come to the country and they are on the watch list, it is because we have generally made the choice that we want them here in the country for some reason or another."
8. On January 22, 2010, CongressDaily reported that intelligence officials "have acknowledged the government knowingly allows foreigners whose names are on terrorist watch lists to enter the country in order to track their movement and activities."
CongressDaily also reported, citing an unnamed "intelligence official" that Michael E. Leiter's statement on January 20, 2010, reflected government policy and told the publication, "in certain situations it's to our advantage to be able to track individuals who might be on a terrorist watch list because you can learn something from their activities and their contacts."
9. On Janury 22, 2009, ABC News published an article that shoed a change of position in the government's official story. Please see the following blog post for more information:
http://haskellfamily.blogspot.com/2010/ ... unted.html
The U.S. government provided no explanation for the reason my story was initially discounted.
10. The SDM could not be from Al Qaeda. When speaking at the counter in Amsterdam, the SDM said the following "He is from Sudan, we do this all the time". Who is "we"? If it is Al Qaeda, you surely don't make such a statement to an airposrt security official.
11. The SDM could not be from airport security. The SDM did not dress in any secuirty uniform and did not appear to have any security badge. The SDM did not speak with a Dutch accent. The SDM dressed in a suit coat and pants. If the SDM was a higher up security official, he would not have to convince the ticket agent to let Mutallab on the plane without a valid passport. Instead, he would just order her to do it.
12. Could the SDM have been a U.S. Government official? He dressed in a suit and not a security uniform. Check. He indicated we do this all the time. Could "we" be the U.S. Government? Check. He spoke Enlish with an American accent. Check. Would he need to convice the ticket agent that this was a normal procedure to allow boarding without a passport? Check. Would he have the ability to obtain such clearance? Check. Could he enter this security area even though he wasn't a passenger? Check. Would the ticket agent likely refer this request to a manager? Check. Would the U.S. Government not want this information public and try to hide it? Check.
13. The Amsterdam security video has not been released. A much more minor airport security violation occurred at the Newark New Jersay airport several days after the flight 253 incident. That video was released shortly thereafter.
14. Senators Levin and Stabenow, as well as Congressman Dingle, all refuse to discuss the matter with me.
With the information we already knew and the admission from the above referenced Detroit News article, we have evidence and claims made by government officials that the U.S. Government wanted Mutallab to proceed into the U.S. in order to obtain information on other terrorists involved with him. Once we take this statement and add it to my eyewitness account of a "Sharp Dressed Man" escorting Mutallab through the boarding process and allowing him to baord without a valid passport we can make the connection that the "Sharp Dressed Man" was a U.S. Government offical/agent.
The reasoning behind the following events now becomes very clear:
1. The reason Mutallab got through security despite the numerous warnings for months before our flight.
2. The reason why there have been so many lies from the U.S. Governemnt attempting to discredit my eyewitness account.
3. The reason why the Amsterdam airport security video is being hidden from the public.
4. The reason why the government is proposing a "Failed to Connect the Dots" account of the failure. The truth is too damning.
5. The reason why Mr. Wolf of the Obama administration indicated on the Keith Olberman Show that the White House was investigating a possible "intentional act" from within the U.S. Government as the reason for the Christmas Day attack.
6. The explanation for the cameraman and why he hasn't been identified (Obviously, he was another U.S. Government agent) whose job was to film Mutallab for some governmental purpose.
7. The reason for the lax security after landing, which can be attributed to foreknowledge of the possible suspects involved.
8. The reason for the failure to search or secure the plane and passengers after landing, which can also be attributed to foreknowledge of the possible suspects involved.
9. The corporate media's attempt to bury my eyewitness account.
10. Carl Levin's, Debbie Stabenow's and John Dingle's intentional avoidance of my story and failure to return my calls/emails.
11. Janet Naploitano's statement that "The System Worked". From her point of view it probably did as this WAS PART OF THE SYSTEM!
This article is the big center piece of the puzzle that has been missing and was needed to finish the entire puzzle.

DETROIT (WXYZ) - UPDATE: Judge postpones sentence for 'underwear bomber' Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab
The Nigerian man, known as the underwear bomber, may find out today if he will get a new lawyer 2 weeks before his sentencing.
A judge will hear a motion today from Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
Abdulmutallab claims his current lawyer treats him with contempt, doesn't visit and failed to provide documents he had ask for.
Abdulmutallab now wants a Muslim attorney.
Abdulmutallab is accused of trying to blow up a plane over Detroit on Christmas in 2009.
He faces mandatory life in prison when he is sentenced on January 19.

Does Bamford give a reason for the attack?
