Missing Man

This is a follow-up of my previous post, Iron Man DO5.

Iron Man said he carried the burden of knowing how close the Department of Defense came to bin Laden.

He said he didn’t want the burden any longer.

He discussed this with another person, but the name was redacted in his formal complaint to the DOD Inspector General. He said this person is the longest missing man in the Iraq War.

Iron Man wanted to someday explain to the missing man’s children what their father foresaw.

The man he is referring to is Kirk von Ackermann. He was a member of the DO5 and would have been in a position to know Iron Man. He is the longest missing man in Iraq.

In 2003, during the Iraq War, von Ackermann was working for Ultra Services, a company that provided services for U.S. soldiers. On October 9, 2003, his car was found abandoned on a desert road between Tikrit and Kirkuk. There was no sign of him.

His satellite phone and laptop computer were still in the car. His briefcase was on the back seat. It contained $40,000 in $100 bills.

There was no sign of a firefight. There weren’t even any footprints nearby. No one knows what happened that day, but von Ackermann is presumed dead. His body was never found.

Iraq was a violent place in 2003. There were many murders and kidnappings during the war, but if von Ackermann was kidnapped, why would his assailants leave $40,000 on the back seat of his car?

If he was murdered by insurgents, why would they take his body and leave behind all of that money?

A man went missing and no one knows why. Any explanation for what happened has to be considered a theory.

One theory put forward is that he was about to blow the whistle to Army authorities about a kickback arrangement between an Army officer and Ultra Services. Von Ackermann’s associate, Ryan Manelick, was making those accusations to investigators, according to Manelick’s father.

On December 14, the same day that Saddam Hussein was captured, Ryan Manelick was shot to death. Someone pulled up beside his vehicle firing a machine gun.

No one knows who shot him, but the killing is consistent with the violence that was being carried out in Iraq. Other American contractors were murdered by insurgents.

If Manelick was killed by “friendly forces” trying to prevent him from blowing the whistle, why wouldn’t von Ackermann have been killed the same way? They could have made it look like insurgents. They could have left his body at the scene and taken his money.

But they didn’t. Von Ackermann simply vanished from the face of the Earth. The only difference between von Ackermann and Manelick is that von Ackermann was in the DO5. He knew a lot of secrets. He knew about more than kickbacks.

His wife, Megan, started a blog shortly after his disappearance. http://missingman.blogspot.com/

She doesn’t believe his disappearance had anything to do with 9/11 or the DO5. There’s no evidence that it did, but there’s no evidence to support any other reason for his disappearance.

Kirk’s wife was with him on the morning of 9/11 and she remembered his reaction. In her September 27, 2006 post, she said “I could see the color drain from his face, literally washing down and leaving him totally grey. He was utterly still.”

After the Pentagon was hit, Kirk’s phone started ringing. He knew a lot of people who worked there. He said he had to call “J”, his close friend and partner from the counter terrorism unit.

I don’t know if “J” was Iron Man.

After a pause in the phone calls, Kirk turned to Megan and said “It’s happened.”

Megan said that Kirk had written it (9/11). He had suggested that terrorists could use a commercial plane loaded with fuel. He knew the possible targets.

Megan felt she knew too much to relate to the reaction felt by their friends and neighbors.

She said she knew too little to relate to the private pain being felt by Kirk. She said her husband thought like a terrorist. He predicted what they would do.

He predicted another attack that makes me wonder if something else wasn’t going on.

He predicted that a small boat filled with explosives could be used as a weapon against a large warship. That’s exactly what happened.

He predicted the attack on the USS Cole.

It’s almost as if the terrorists had access to the United States counter terrorism briefings.

I believe the 9/11 plot was carried out by Islamic terrorists who received help and support from members of the Saudi government. There is circumstantial evidence that members of the U.S. military leadership, including the civilian leadership, either played a direct role or knew when and where the attacks would occur.

The proposals in Operation Northwoods were rejected by McNamara and Kennedy in 1962. Rumsfeld and Bush may not have rejected similar proposals in 2001. That is where all of my research leads. I haven’t used any conspiracy books for my research. I’m only following the facts that are available in government documents and mainstream news articles. The website, History Commons, has an enormous amount of sourced information, even if some of the links no longer work.


There is no mention of Iron Man’s and von Ackermann’s team in the 9/11 Commission report. Von Ackermann was killed while the 9/11 Commission was in session. That may be just a coincidence.

There is no mention of the JFIC and DO5 in the 9/11 Commission report. I consider the work of the Commission to be incomplete. How could they ignore what people like Iron Man and von Ackermann were doing before 9/11?

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) played an important role in the run up to the Iraq War. The Iron Man documents show that the JFIC played an important role in tracking terrorists before 9/11 until they were told to stop the tracking.

That’s why Iron Man filed his complaint against the 2002 Congressional Inquiry. They weren’t investigating the facts.

Iron Man reported that in 2000, the possibility of one World Trade Center tower collapsing into the other was discussed at a briefing presented to senior JFCOM staff. The information in that briefing would have almost certainly been presented to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

According to a Computer World article, General Tommy Franks gave a speech at U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida on September 7, 2001.


This was four days before the 9/11 attacks.

After General Franks finished speaking, a sergeant asked him what keeps him up at night.

He replied “The thought of one tower of the World Trade Center collapsing into the other tower, killing thousands of people.”

Those were almost the exact words used in the briefing described by Iron Man. The phrase in the briefing was “one tower collapsed onto the other.”

This can’t be a coincidence. This is direct evidence that supports Iron Man’s story.

Tommy Franks published his memoir in 2004. He wrote about the question he answered that day, but the answer he published in his book is not the same answer published in the Computer World article. He changed it to “A terrorist attack against the World Trade Center in New York—that’s what keeps me awake at night.”

I don’t know why he changed the wording of his answer.

The DOD Inspector General wrote a 37 page document claiming that Iron Man is not telling the truth. I think the DOD is lying. We know that NORAD lied about conducting exercises almost exactly like 9/11 before 9/11.

I will be posting a lot more evidence.


Here is a link to the DOD response to Iron Man.


No one was supposed to know about Iron Man. His story was discovered by accident. A researcher looking for documents related to torture came across the DOD response to Iron Man.

The full story of how Iron Man was discovered is discussed in a video made available by The Real News. You’ll find other information supporting Iron Man’s story in this video.
