911 Conspiracy
Bush and Buffett Convergence on 911? -- We Demand Some Answers

Oct. 12, 2003
Bradley Jordan
The report below documents that on the morning of the September 11,
2001 terrorist attack on America, before the attack commenced, the world's second most
wealthy man was already at the U.S. Strategic Command headquarters where G.W. Bush flew later
that day for "safety." As the attack began, Anne Tatlock was already en route
to this same location. She arrived at the base to join Buffet in time to watch the second
plane make a direct hit on the tower precisely where her office complex was located.
Strange coincidence?
This smacks too much of a conspiracy and begs to be investigated. What was Buffet, a
civilian, doing at a military base? Did Buffet and others of his invite meet with Bush when
Bush went there later that day? If they did, what was the nature of their meeting? If
they claim to not have met, can they provide sworn affidavits, evidence and witnesses proving that
they were elsewhere?
Combined with Bush's blatant negligence earlier in the morning at Booker Elementary, the
insinuations of a possible meeting with Buffett are grave indeed. They suggest that President
George W. Bush was in on inner workings of the planning and execution of the nations worst terrorist
attack. These things insinuate that not only did Bush have prior knowledge of the attack, but
he was privy to its purposes and intended outcomes such as the anti-Constitutional Patriot Act and
the Iraqi war for more control of the Mideast. At a minimum, it appears he was hanging out
with those who did.
This information should be thoroughly investigated and made known to every citizen of the United
States and every thinking inhabitant of this planet to awaken them to the awful situation we are in.
I am running for President of the United States to replace this conspiratorial
oligarchy that has been usurping the freedoms of the land and installing a global police
state. See www.allan2004.com Any of the mainline
candidates supported by the establishment will only give you more of the same because they will be
controlled by the establishment that runs the show from behind the scenes.
Pass this on to everyone you know. Don't expect to see this covered in this way in the
mainstream press. You will see from the date stamps of the various news articles below that
this information was published in the mainline press a long time ago, but not pieced together or
questioned.
Thank God for the Internet and email. Truth can and will prevail if pains are taken to
bring it to light.
America is ripe for a revolution at the ballot, as California has shown us -- except this time
without Warren Buffet at its side.

Warren Buffet : 911

10/10/2003
Warren E. Buffett, the world's 2nd richest person.
So where was Warren Buffett the morning of 9/11 and what was he doing?
Of all places, Mr. Buffett just happened to be at the U.S. Strategic Command headquarters located at
Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska. Offutt AFB is, coincidentally, where President G.W. Bush
flew to on Air Force One later on in the day for "safety". What was Buffett doing there?
Mr. Buffett was "hosting a charity event" super early in the morning which included a
small group of business leaders in which one of them became a very lucky person.
This person who became very lucky was Ann Tatlock, the CEO of Fiduciary Trust Co. International. Now
what made Mrs. Tatlock such a lucky person for being at this event that morning? Mrs. Tatlock works
in the World Trade Center and not only that, but her offices were right where Flight 175 crashed
into the WTC 2.
► "Anne Tatlock found out about the collision of a plane with the North Tower while en
route to the U.S. Strategic Command headquarters in Omaha. The 62-year-old chief executive of
Fiduciary Trust Co. International was one of a small group of business leaders at a charity event
hosted by Warren Buffett. Military officers boarded the bus she was on, and escorted her to an
officer's lounge and a television, just in time to see the second plane hit the South Tower between
the 87th and 93rd floors--right where 650 of her employees worked.
Fiduciary, which today manages $44 billion of securities for pension plans, endowments and wealthy
individuals." -Forbes (10/15/01)
► "On the morning of Sept. 11, Tatlock herself had just arrived with a small group of
business leaders at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha for a charity event hosted by Warren Buffett. She
then heard the news of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center's north tower.
Moments later, back in Omaha, a television picture flashed on a large screen, and Tatlock witnessed
the second plane plowing into the south tower.
"There on the screen, I saw the second plane crash into my office," Tatlock
recalled." -San Francisco Business Times (week of 2/04/02)
► "Executives of money-management firm Fiduciary Trust Inc., a unit of Franklin Resources
Inc., said many of the 500 employees who worked in the complex had gotten out, but officials didn't
have an exact count. "We've been incredibly lucky; people we knew were in there got out,"
said Anne Tatlock, the firm's chairman and chief executive.
Fiduciary Trust, which occupied five floors that were located high in the South Tower, caters to
investors of substantial net worth and used its elegant offices to help woo clients, who often
paused to admire the amazing views when they visited.
Ms. Tatlock was in Omaha, Neb., at a conference sponsored by Warren Buffett when she heard about the
disaster. "I thought, why would they joke, then I saw the TV," she said. -Wall Street
Journal (9/12/01)
► 3:07 p.m. – Bush arrives at U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
-September11News.com
► The United States Strategic Command, or USSTRATCOM, is headquartered at Offutt Air Force
Base, Nebraska.
Now why was the 2nd richest man in the world hosting a charity event so earlier in the morning at
the U.S. Strategic Command headquarters that particular day and what are the odds that a CEO was
invited who's offices were right where one of the hijacked airplanes crashed into?
Some other questions that arise from this "charity event" is:
1. What was this charity event about?
2. Who were the rest of the business leaders that attended, why were they invited, and who invited
them?
An interesting angle about Ann Tatlock's company, Fiduciary Trust Co. International, is that
President Bush's nominee to head the panel that's investigating the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks,
Thomas Kean, used to serve as the company's director which has a lot of wealthy clients.
► President Bush named former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, a moderate Republican with a record
of bipartisan cooperation, to replace Henry Kissinger as head of the panel investigating the Sept.
11, 2001 terror attacks.
He serves on several corporate boards, including those of the international petroleum company
Amerada Hess Corp., the Pepsi Bottling Group and Aramark Corp., which manages food and support
services at office buildings, sports arenas and other facilities.
Aramark ran the food court on top of 2 World Trade Center as well as concessions and tours of the
observation deck. Several of its employees died in the tower. Also, Kean has long served as director
of Fiduciary Trust Co., a financial company that lost 87 employees in the World Trade Center.
Kristen Breitweiser, whose husband died in the trade center Sept. 11 while working for Fiduciary
Trust and who is a leader of September 11th Advocates, said about Kean, "Assuming he has no
conflicts, I hope he can do the job that needs to be done."
Breitweiser noted that Fiduciary was a leaseholder of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey,
which would be part of the investigation. -USA Today (12/16/02)
► BOARD OF DIRECTORS, FIDUCIARY TRUST COMPANY INTERNATIONAL
THOMAS H. KEAN: PRESIDENT, DREW UNIVERSITY AND FORMER GOVERNOR, NJ
► "Ellen Kratzer, an investment advisor who worked near the top of the World Trade
Center's south tower, returned to work yesterday morning, at her firm's "business resumption
centre" in New Jersey.
More than 100 people are missing from her firm, Fiduciary Trust Co. International, yet she and her
colleagues were phoning clients to let them know business is continuing. These are wealthy investors
with a lot at stake -- Fiduciary's average client family has more than US$10-million in
assets." -Raven Investment (9/15/01)
One interesting note about Ann Tatlock is that she is a trustee of the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute (HHMI) along with former Secretary of State and current Carlyle Group advisor James A.
Baker III who's law firm, Baker Botts LLP, is defending Saudi Arabia against the trillion dollar
lawsuit filed by the families of 9/11 victims. HHMI also employed Don C. Wiley, one of the dozen
distinguished microbiologists that have mysteriously died within five months of each other shortly
after 9/11.

International, has been elected a trustee of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)." -HHMI

► The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) today announced that it is offering a $15,000
reward for information leading to the arrest and charge of anyone connected to the disappearance of
Dr. Don C. Wiley, an HHMI investigator at Harvard University.
Wiley, a distinguished structural biologist who has been an HHMI employee since 1987." -HHMI
(11/30/01)
► The disappearance of a Harvard molecular biologist has baffled authorities and sparked some
suspicion that he was abducted to create a lethal biological weapon.
Don Wiley was last seen Nov. 15, when he attended a banquet at The Peabody hotel in Memphis, Tenn.
Wiley lived in Cambridge, Mass.
Newspapers in Boston raised suspicions that Wiley was the victim of a terrorist-related kidnapping
because of recent anthrax scares, fears of bioterrorism, and the fact that he is an expert on human
immunology and has studied viruses such as AIDS, Ebola, herpes and influenza. -ABC (11/27/01)
► "A body carrying the identification of a missing Harvard University scientist was found
today in the Mississippi River in Louisiana, police said.
Wiley had done research into a number of potentially deadly viruses, including Ebola. Ebola is a
hemorrhagic fever that causes body fluids to seep from tissues and orifices. The virus is highly
contagious and lethal, and there is no vaccine." -ABC (12/20/01)
► "Eleven microbiologists mysteriously dead over the span of just five months. Some of
them world leaders in developing weapons-grade biological plagues. Others the best in figuring out

Mr. Buffett, age 72, has been a director of the Corporation since 1965 and has been its Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer since 1970. Mr. Buffett is a controlling person of the Corporation. He is
also a director of The Coca-Cola Company, The Gillette Company, and The Washington Post Company.

Funny that Mr. Buffett was hosting a charity event, because it's been reported that he's a real
"tightwad" and not very charitable.
► "By many he is considered to be a real tightwad (or cheap). This is mainly because
despite his $36 Billion net worth he has not been particularly charitable." -Investopedia.com
Now if Warren Buffett hosting a "charity event" at the U.S. Strategic Commander
headquarters on 9/11 in which one of the invited guests was a CEO who's offices were where the 2nd
hijacked plane crashed into at the WTC and that the head of the 9/11 investigation used to be the
director of her company doesn't raise an eyebrow or two, then maybe the following little tidbits
will.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has a subsidiary company called NetJets.
► BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC. Subsidiary Companies: NetJets®
► NetJets Inc. (Formerly Executive Jet)
NETJETS INC AND BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY
In 1995, world-renowned financier Warren Buffett purchased his first fractional share in the NetJets®
program. Three-and-a-half years later, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway purchased NetJets Inc.
"As a NetJets fractional aircraft Owner, I had Three-and-a-half years to examine the service of
NetJets before Berkshire Hathaway purchased NetJets Inc. We knew we were purchasing the premier
provider of aviation solutions in the world. And you can quote me to the world on that."
- WARREN BUFFETT, Chairman and CEO Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
The NetJets Fleet
Oddly enough, a NetJets executive company jet was "tracking" Flight 93 when it crashed in
an open field in Shanksville, PA.
► "Additional recordings would be played from the cockpit of an executive jet that
tracked Flight 93 on Sept. 11.
An official for NetJets, a company that sells shares in private business aircraft, confirmed that
the plane tracking Flight 93 belonged to the company.
The official, who asked not to be identified by name, said the company was asked not to comment on
the Sept. 11 flight but would not say who made the request." -Holland Sentinel/AP (8/09/02)
Now why was an executive jet owned by one of Warren Buffett's companies "tracking" Flight
93 instead of a military jet try to intercept it?
More interesting is that fact that Flight 93 was rumored to have been shot down (in which the U.S.
Government vehemently denies) and that a number of witnesses claimed to have seen a "mysterious
small white jet" in the same area that Flight 93 was before it crashed in which the FBI claimed
there was no other plane in the area and then changed it's story and said there was one, but it was
just "taking pictures" of the crash.
► "Responding to persistent rumors that have circulated around the nation, the North
American Aerospace Defense Command disputed accounts yesterday that U.S. military aircraft shot down
United Airlines Flight 93 in Somerset County.
"Contrary to media reports that speculate that United Airlines Flight 93 was 'downed' by a U.S.
fighter aircraft, NORAD-allocated forces have not engaged with weapons [on] any aircraft, including
Flight 93."
"There was no military involvement here. I hope that ends that speculation," FBI agent
Bill Crowley told reporters yesterday during an afternoon briefing at the crash site.
Asked if there were any military aircraft flying in the vicinity of Flight 93 or activated in
response to the hijacking of the plane, Capt. Adriane Craig, a NORAD spokeswoman, declined
comment." -Post-Gazette (9/14/01)
► Dennis Decker and Rick Chaney - "As soon as we looked up, we saw a midsized jet flying
low and fast," Decker said. "It appeared to make a loop or part of a circle, and then it
turned fast and headed out." Decker and Chaney described the plane as a Lear-jet type, with
engines mounted near the tail and painted white with no identifying markings. -The Bergen Record
(9/14/01)
Susan Mcelwain, 51 - "It came right over me, I reckon just 40 or 50ft above my mini-van,"
she recalled.
"There's no way I imagined this plane - it was so low it was virtually on top of me. It was
white with no markings but it was definitely military, it just had that look.
"It had two rear engines, a big fin on the back like a spoiler on the back of a car and with
two upright fins at the side. I haven't found one like it on the internet. It definitely wasn't one
of those executive jets. The FBI came and talked to me and said there was no plane around."
"Then they changed their story and tried to say it was a plane taking pictures of the crash
3,000ft up."
"But I saw it and it was there before the crash and it was 40ft above my head. They did not
want my story - nobody here did."
"She said her husband had called her that morning and said 'I can't talk, but we've just shot a
plane down,' " Susan said. "I presumed they meant Flight 93." -Daily Mirror (9/13/02)
► "Earlier Thursday, FBI Special Agent William Crowley said investigators could not rule
out that a second plane was nearby during the crash. He later said he had misspoken. He dismissed
rumors that a U.S. military jet had intercepted the plane before it could strike a target in
Washington, D.C. In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, President Bush's nominee
for chairman of the joint chiefs of staff rejected rumors that the military had shot down the
hijacked plane.
"The armed forces did not shoot down any aircraft," Air Force Gen. Richard Myers
said." -The Bergen Record (9/14/01)
For more about the mystery surrounding Flight 93, see "Was Flight 93 shot down?"
Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. also has a subsidiary company called FlightSafety
International Inc., a flight training school .
► BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC. Subsidiary Companies: FlightSafety
► FlightSafety International Inc.
"FlightSafety International is the world's largest provider of aviation services, training over
65,000 pilots annually at 42 Learning Centers in the U.S., Canada, France, and the U.K."
Flight Safety was also selected by Raytheon as its subcontractor providing the Ground Based Training
System for the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) used by the US Air Force and navy for
primary pilot training.
FlightSafety International Inc. is reported to have trained one of the alleged 9/11 hijackers.

► Dennis Decker and Rick Chaney - "As soon as we looked up, we saw a midsized jet flying
low and fast," Decker said. "It appeared to make a loop or part of a circle, and then it
turned fast and headed out." Decker and Chaney described the plane as a Lear-jet type, with
engines mounted near the tail and painted white with no identifying markings. -The Bergen Record
(9/14/01)
Susan Mcelwain, 51 - "It came right over me, I reckon just 40 or 50ft above my mini-van,"
she recalled.
"There's no way I imagined this plane - it was so low it was virtually on top of me. It was
white with no markings but it was definitely military, it just had that look.
"It had two rear engines, a big fin on the back like a spoiler on the back of a car and with
two upright fins at the side. I haven't found one like it on the internet. It definitely wasn't one
of those executive jets. The FBI came and talked to me and said there was no plane around."
"Then they changed their story and tried to say it was a plane taking pictures of the crash
3,000ft up."
"But I saw it and it was there before the crash and it was 40ft above my head. They did not
want my story - nobody here did."
"She said her husband had called her that morning and said 'I can't talk, but we've just shot a
plane down,' " Susan said. "I presumed they meant Flight 93." -Daily Mirror (9/13/02)
► "Earlier Thursday, FBI Special Agent William Crowley said investigators could not rule
out that a second plane was nearby during the crash. He later said he had misspoken. He dismissed
rumors that a U.S. military jet had intercepted the plane before it could strike a target in
Washington, D.C. In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, President Bush's nominee
for chairman of the joint chiefs of staff rejected rumors that the military had shot down the
hijacked plane.
"The armed forces did not shoot down any aircraft," Air Force Gen. Richard Myers
said." -The Bergen Record (9/14/01)
