THE AIG-9/11 CONNECTION
Summary: Rebecca Adams, a SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER for Intergraph Corp., died on Comair Flight 5191. (She was the subject of an earlier installment on the Lexington crash detailing some of the company's CIA connections - see the September archive.)
Update: Her company had just been taken over by two equity investment firms,Texas Pacific Group and Hellman & Friedman. The purpose of the takeover has been stated specifically - to acquire "mapping software" patents for homeland security purposes.
A key managing director at Hellman & Friedman is Frank G. Zarb - INTERIM CHAIRMAN OF AIG, AND AN OFFICIAL OF THE NIXON, FORD, REAGAN, BUSH and CLINTON administrations.
As senior project manager, Ms. Adams would have been involved in any homeland security work done by Intergraph, which derives 21 percent of its income from government grants.
AIG, in league with Warren Buffett, were key participants in the 9/11 covert operation. The Comair crash, which has already been shown to have a number of connections to Buffett, appears to have been a step in nailing down 9/11 objectives - in the case of Intergraph Corp. and Ms. Adams, the targetting of geo-spatial mapping technology, a recurring theme in the September 2001 covert operation in New York and the District of Columbia.

Intergraph Employee Killed on Comair Flight 5191
The Huntsville Times reported this morning that Rebecca Adams of Intergraph's SECURITY, GOVERNMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISION, was killed in the crash of Comair Flight 5191 that originated from Lexington, Kentucky on the morning of August 27th. Ms. Adams was a project manager on her way to support the startup of a computer aided dispatching system for the police department in Elk Grove California. Ms. Adams was 47 years old and the mother of three adult children. I wish to extend my condolences to the relatives of Ms. Adam's and the Intergraph family.

Intergraph develops and sells software for plant and ship design, as well as GIS applications. The company is in the midst of transitioning its user base to its next-generation SmartPlant product. Half of the company's revenue in 2005 came from outside the United States, and 21% came from sales to the U.S. government.
In recent years, the company has also capitalized on its intellectual property assets, in particular its CLIPPER patents. Intergraph has recorded settlements with most major PC manufacturers, including Intel, AMD, HP, Dell, IBM and Sony. These patents protected microprocessor technology developed by Fairchild Semiconductor and acquired by Intergraph in 1987.
Intergraph exited the hardware business in 2000 to focus on software and services.
Total revenue for 2005 was $576.8 million, a 4.7% increase from 2004. Net income for the year was $114.4 million. That includes $89.4 million in after-tax revenue from Intergraph's intellectual property division....
