Document Summary
Many people are unaware that on the morning of 9/11, during the attack on the pentagon, the so-called doomsday plane, the e-4b, appeared briefly in the forbidden air space over the white house and the capitol. Government (cog) planning, is a survivable mobile command post, based at. Offutt afb in nebraska, for the national command authority, (the president and secretary of defense, though neither were in it that day). Metaphorically the e-4b flyover of the white house on 9/11 symbolizes the way cog plans (the so-called doomsday project ) on that day preempted constitutional authority, sending the president against his will to the e-4b"s base at offutt. Scott shows that the cog or continuity of government system has played a shadowy role in a series of what he calls, structural deep events, including the kennedy assassination, Watergate and 9/11, that transformed america and the world.
