Daniel Hopsicker is a producer, director and investigative journalist whose primary focus is the illegal drug trade by the establishment in general, and the CIA and the cabal in particular. Hopsicker is the publisher of The Mad Cow Morning News. Based in Venice, Florida, he has carried out a number of investigations, notably exposing Mohammad Atta - whose observed lifestyle does not fit well with the claim that he was a radical Moslem.

September 11th, 2001
Hopsicker's personal involvement began the day after 9/11, with the news that three of the four terrorist pilots had learned to fly in Venice Florida, a sleepy Florida suburb which Hopsicker knew well since his parents had retired there. He was curious why 3 would-be hijackers chose that place to learn how to fly.
Curious also about Rudi Dekkers, the manager of Huffman Aviation, "who had been everywhere on television during the days after the attack", he asked the local police chief, Mike Treanor whether Dekkers had had any prior arrests only to be told that "The FBI took all our files, everything. They loaded the files right outside this window [indicating the parking lot outside the police station] into two Ryder trucks, then drove them onto a C-130 military cargo plane at the Sarasota airport, which took off for Washington with Jeb Bush aboard." He later received confirmation of this pattern of events from an anonymous source. Those involved assumed that this was to the FBI headquarters, but the plane diverted to McLean Virginia and the FBI never got them.[1]
Hopsicker was described in 2002 by a reporter from Venice, Florida as a "local conspiracy theorist".[2]
Criticism of David Ray Griffin
Hopsicker has written ungenerously about David Ray Griffin, describing him as "a retired professor of theology at a conservative bible college in California who had nothing to say, but said it anyway, in book after book after book... But that of course, was the point. They accomplished nothing. But they made the half-baked “official story” of the 9/11 attack sound almost reasonable."[3]

Did Magic Dutch Boy's Boss Slip Saudis out of Raytheon?," Mad Cow Morning News (madcowprod.com), December 26, 2001: "Because the federal government says the flight never took place, the paper headlined it the 'Phantom Flight from Florida.' It carried a Saudi Arabian prince, the son of that nation's defense minister, as well as the son of a Saudi army commander, and it flew from Tampa to Lexington, Kentucky, where Saudi princes had been purchasing racehorses in Bluegrass Country. ... From there, they flew a private 747 out of the country. But if no one in the government would acknowledge what had happened, the two armed bodyguards hired to get their clients out of the state were only too happy to recall a trip they remembered vividly."

- "The reporting of Dan Hopsicker (Madcowprod.com, 12-26-2001), delves deeply into what a Tampa Tribune headline called, 'The Phantom Flight from Florida,' wherein a Saudi prince - the son of the nation’s defense minister - as well as the son of a Saudi army commander took off in a twin-engine Lear jet just two days after the September 11 attacks, when every other plane in the United States was grounded. Moreover, Hopsicker made a special point that the Federal Government said the flight never happened despite the Tribune’s glaring headline. Meanwhile no one has even asked why the princes were in Tampa on 9/11!" [emphasis added]

| Rudi Dekkers | “Indications of the FBI’s “guilty knowledge” were widespread in the aftermath of the attack, including the widely-reported fact that the FBI was at Huffman Aviation with search warrants at 2.30 a.m. the night after the attack.
Now we have uncovered evidence indicating that the FBI was on the scene even earlier… “How do you think the FBI got here (Huffman Aviation) so fast after the attack?” asked one Huffman Aviation insider. “They knew what was going on here. Hell, they were parked in a white van outside my house less than four hours after the buildings collapsed.” “We heard that 16 of the 19 terrorists had been on Interpol’s Most Wanted list,” this aviation executive continued. “But early on I gleaned that these guys had Government protection. They were let into this country for a specific purpose. It was a business deal.” A “Green Light” from the DEA The new information adds to long-standing suspicions of drug trafficking held by aviation observers at the Venice Airport, who more than six months ago told us the Hilliard/Dekkers operation had a ‘green light’ from the DEA at the Venice Airport. “The local Venice Police Department (which mounted round-the-clock patrols at the Airport after Sept.11) were warned to leave them alone,” said one aviation executive at the time. Further evidence of sinister currents swirling around the Venice Airport includes testimony from eyewitnesses indicating that Rudi Dekkers was in trouble with the DEA while still located at the Naples Airport in the mid-1990’s. The notion of a Federal “hands-off” policy towards the Venice operation also helps explain a suspicious circumstance which has provoked much speculation in the local aviation community… How did ‘ Magic Dutch Boy’ Rudi Dekkers, whose various businesses have all been utter and abject failures, manage to live in a $2.5 million mansion in a private gated community?” | Madcowprod.com | |
| Federal Aviation Administration | “the FAA system for registering airplanes is little-changed from when it was started back in the good ol boy days of the 1930's. Each plane has a paper folder, for example, stuffed with all correspondence regarding airworthiness and ownership relating to that plane. Its an antiquated system which some feel is kept deliberately in place to encourage a certain ambiguity when a plane is interdicted. When a change of registration is mailed in, the FAA places a plane's folder in what they call "suspense". That's a tremendous inducement to anyone with a chance of having a plane nabbed to keep floating sales in progress. The CIA, for example, is very adept at keeping files on its planes "in suspense".” | 2009 | Mad Cow News |
