Was the Vigilant Guardian Highjacking Exercise Highjacked by Al Qaeda?

See this post on the significance of the Vigilant Guardian wargame.

As Mike Ruppert says, once the 9/11 wargames come to light in the media (eventually they will-- but no doubt much later than what we would like), the fallback position of the government will be that Al Qaeda still committed the attacks by either co-opting the Operation Vigilan Guardian highjacking drill or by taking advantage of the confusion from this exercise to do their own highjacking and commit the attacks.

First of all, the way all four planes were taken over without the pilots alerting ATC of a highjacking, indicates that the highjackers were in on the exercise. The pilots had to let them take over. So, it can't be that the highjackers actually took over a different set of planes than were used in the exercise.

Second, as I have mentioned before, it is possible the pilots were double-crossed by the highjackers, and the highjackers took over the plane and did the suicide crashes. This is possible, but highly unlikey, since if these highjackers were on the flights in the first place, they had to have been pre-screened by someone, likely the CIA. Is it at all possible that trained CIA assets would do such a thing?

It is possible of course, but it depends on what the highjacker patsies were told would happen to them after the exercise. If they were supposed to go free, then there is clearly no reason for them to go berzerk. If they knew they were going to prison or worse killed at the end of the exercise, then clearly, they might decide to take others down with them in a dramatic way.

But would the organization (let's call it the CIA) that put the highjackers on the plane really be this stupid-- take such chances that these men would do something so unpredictable? I don't believe it. Moreover, why would the CIA put known Al Qaeda members in these exercises? They had to have known who they were.

Clearly the highjackers were being set-up in some way. But what did they think they were doing?

Of course, on the other hand, there is no solid proof that the 19 famous highjackers were really on the planes. The problem is that we simply don't know how the highjacking exercise was run. Were there real men pretending to be terrorists on board and all the phone calls were therefore real? Or were there no terrorists on board at all, and the cell phones calls were faked?

Apparently some real highjackers were on board flight 93, since their voices show on the cockpit recorder (assuming we can trust this). And supposedly we hear Mohamed Atta talk over the PA system on flight 11. So there were likely some real highjackers.

An important quesiton is why would a highjacking exercise just have the plane go off course and the transponder go off and not have the pilots alert ATC? This clearly wasn't mimicking a normal highjacking. The only thing I can think is that either:

1) they turned the transponders off in order to switch planes,
or
2) they didn't want ATC to know there was a highjacking (but why have the cell phone calls then?).

I've written this before, but the only thing that makes sense is that some device was able to highjack the plane by taking over its controls and blocking all transmissions from the plane. And this device was used to remotely pilot the planes into the targets.

Either this OR there is very incriminating evidence about how 9/11 was carried out on the cockpit recorders, and the government simply won't reveal it. For instance, do the cockpit recorders show the pilots struggling to take control of their suddenly non-responsive airplanes?

Needs more thinking.

Clearly the highjacking exercise is key. But there are some blanks to fill in.
