Someone Said: ALICE and WONDERLAND = ASSANGE and WIKILEAKS

Looking Glass = Operation Looking Glass (see other threads referencing Wizards & Warlocks, EMP from space, etc.)

JA was both a "victim" of a child abuse cult "The Family" AND a whistle blower , I cant get over the irony.

Yes, and Thank God he did not turn out to be an abuser. Starting out the way he did, things could have gone a lot worse for him. I hope he still lives.

Yeah not sure exactly what the implication was with that one, will take a moment to look at Operation Looking Glass now.

Operation Looking Glass

Looking Glass (or Operation Looking Glass) is the code name for an airborne command and control center operated by the United States. In more recent years it has been more officially referred to as the ABNCP (Airborne Command Post).[1][2] It provides command and control of U.S. nuclear forces in the event that ground-based command centers have been destroyed or otherwise rendered inoperable. In such an event, the general officer aboard the Looking Glass serves as the Airborne Emergency Action Officer (AEAO)[3] and by law assumes the authority of the National Command Authority and could command execution of nuclear attacks. The AEAO is supported by a battle staff of approximately 20 people, with another dozen responsible for the operation of the aircraft systems. The name Looking Glass, which is another word for a mirror, was chosen for the Airborne Command Post because the mission operates in parallel with the underground command post at Offutt Air Force Base.[4]


Seems 'above board' if not abused, what caught my attention though, was this:

Current status

There was some speculation that the "mystery plane" seen flying over the White House on September 11, 2001, was some newer incarnation of Looking Glass. However, as indicated by retired Major General Donald Shepperd, speaking on CNN on September 12, 2007, the plane circling the White House on 9/11 resembled an E-4B which was likely launched from Nightwatch ground alert at Andrews Air Force Base.


Relevance unknown, but, it strikes me as odd, to say the least.
