They are politically diverse and include academics, ex-officials and Web surfers. All share a belief that the Bush administration played a role in the 9/11 attacks. Their numbers seem to speak to Americans' innate distrust of their government. The Washington Post NEW YORK — He felt no shiver of doubt in those first terrible hours. He watched the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and assumed al-Qaida had wreaked terrible vengeance. He listened to anchors and military experts and assumed the facts of Sept. 11, 2001, were as stated on the screen. It was a year before David Ray Griffin, an eminent liberal theologian and philosopher, began his stroll down the path of disbelief. He wondered why Bush listened to a child's story while the nation was attacked and how Osama bin Laden, America's Public Enemy No. 1, escaped in the mountains of Tora Bora. He wondered why 110-story towers crashed and military jets failed to intercept even one airliner. He read the 9/11 Commission report with a swell of anger. Contradictions were ignored and no military or civilian official was reprimanded, much less cashiered. "To me, the report read as a cartoon," Griffin said. "It's a much greater stretch to accept the official conspiracy story than to consider the alternatives." Such as? "There was massive complicity in this attack by U.S. government operatives." If that feels like a skip off the cliff of established reality, more Americans are in free fall than you might guess. There are few more startling measures of American distrust of leaders than the extent of belief that the Bush administration had a hand in the attacks of Sept. 11 to spark an invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. 36 percent suspicious A recent Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll of 1,010 Americans found that 36 percent suspect the U.S. government promoted the attacks or intentionally sat on its hands. Sixteen percent believe explosives brought down the towers. Twelve percent believe a cruise missile hit the Pentagon. Distrust percolates more strongly near Ground Zero. A Zogby International poll of New York City residents two years ago found 49.3 percent believed the government "consciously failed to act." Establishment assessments of the believers tend toward the psychotherapeutic. Many academics, politicians and thinkers left, right and center say the conspiracy theories are a case of one plus one equals five. It's a piling up of improbabilities. Thomas Eager, a professor of materials science at MIT, has studied the collapse of the twin towers. "At first, I thought it was amazing that the buildings would come down in their own footprints," Eager says. "Then I realized that it wasn't that amazing — it's the only way a building that weighs a million tons and is 95 percent air can come down." But the chatter out there is loud enough for the National Institute of Standards and Technology to post a Web "fact sheet" poking holes in the conspiracy theories and defending its report on the towers. Motley crew The loose agglomeration known as the "9/11 Truth Movement" has stopped looking for truth from the government. A cacophonous and free-range a bunch of conspiracists, they produce hip-hop inflected documentaries and scholarly conferences. The Web is their mother lode. Every citizen is a researcher. Did you see that the CIA met with bin Laden in a hospital room in Dubai? Check out this Pakistani site; there are really weird doings in Baluchistan ... Peter Knight, senior lecturer in American studies at the University of Manchester and editor of the 2002 book "Conspiracy Nation: The Politics of Paranoia in Postwar America," called the movement "a strange beast, an amalgam of elements. You've got the anti-Bush, anti-Iraq war crowd — you know, if they lied about the war, maybe they lied about 9/11. Another part is people merely interested in the anomalies, with no preconceived political agenda. "Then you have the more traditional right-wing conspiracy part of the continuum that believes a vast cabal has taken over the United States, the mega-conspiracy of the right's new world order. To them, all of these things are connected. Each group inserts 9/11 into its pre-existing conspiracy model." The academic wing is led by Griffin, who founded the Center for a Postmodern World at Claremont University; James Fetzer, a tenured philosopher at the University of Minnesota; and Daniel Orr, retired chairman of the economics department at the University of Illinois. Professor suspended The movement's de facto minister of engineering is Steven Jones, a tenured physics professor at Brigham Young University who has studied vectors and velocities and tested explosives and concluded that the collapse of the twin towers is best explained as controlled demolition, sped by a thousand pounds of high-grade thermite. Jones has been placed on paid leave while the Mormon-church-owned school investigates his claims, it was announced Friday. The physicist published his views two weeks ago in the book "9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out." Former Reagan aide Barbara Honegger is a senior military-affairs journalist at the Naval Postgraduate School in California. She's convinced, based on her freelance research, that a bomb went off about six minutes before an airplane hit the Pentagon — or didn't hit it, as some believe the case may be. Then there's Morgan O. Reynolds, appointed by George W. Bush as chief economist at the Labor Department. He left in 2002 and doesn't think much of his former boss. "Who did it? Elements of our government and M-16 and the Mossad. The government's case is a laugh-out-loud proposition. They used patsies and lies and subterfuge and there's no way that Bush and Cheney could have invaded Iraq without the help of 9/11," Reynolds asserts. They are cantankerous and sometimes distrust each other — who knows where the double agents lurk? But unreasonable questions resonate with the reasonable. Colleen Kelly's brother, a salesman, had breakfast at the Windows on the World restaurant on Sept. 11. After he died she founded September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows to oppose the Iraq war. She lives in the Bronx and gives a gingerly embrace to the conspiracy crowd. "Sometimes I listen to them and I think that's sooooo outlandish and bizarre," she says. "But that day had such disastrous geopolitical consequences. If David Ray Griffin asks uncomfortable questions and points out painful discrepancies, good for him." Griffin's book, "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11," sold more than 100,000 copies and became a movement founding stone. Last year he traveled through New England, giving speeches. One evening in West Hartford, Conn., 400 mostly middle-aged and upper-middle-class doctors and lawyers, teachers and social workers sat waiting. Griffin took the podium and laid down his ideas with calm and cool. He concluded: "It is already possible to know beyond a reasonable doubt one very important thing: The destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by domestic terrorists. The welfare of our republic and perhaps even the survival of our civilization depend on getting the truth about 9/11 exposed." The audience rose and applauded for more than a minute. No patience Chip Berlet, senior analyst at Political Research Associates, a Boston-based left-leaning think tank, is no fan of the 9/11 Commission. He believes a serious investigation should have led to indictments and the firing of incompetent generals and civilian officials. But he has no patience with the conspiracy theorists. "They don't do their homework; it's a kind of charlatanism," says Berlet. "They say there's no debris on the lawn in front of the Pentagon, but they base their analysis on a photo on the Internet. That's like analyzing an impressionist painting by looking at a postcard. "I love 'The X-Files' but I don't base my research on it. My vision of hell is having to review these [conspiracy] books over and over again." In the days after Sept. 11, experts claimed temperatures reached 2,000 degrees on the upper floors. Others claimed steel melted. Nope. What happened, says Eager, the MIT materials-science professor, is that jet fuel sloshed around and beams got rubbery. "It's not too much to think that you could have some regions at 900 degrees and others at 1,200 degrees, and that will distort the beams." The truth movement doesn't really care for Eager. A Web site casts a fisheye of suspicion at the professor and his colleagues. "Did the MIT have prior knowledge?" notes one chat room. "This is for sure another speculative topic ... " Professsor Jones' suspension was reported Friday by The Associated Press. Peter Knight was quoted by McClatchy Newspapers.

Just edited the post, I actually think the guy in front could be the same as in the 1st image, although they both look very similar in appearance.
I can't take credit for it, wudidiz posted it on this thread first, and I just looked at it and found a few things that were a bit out of place... Got it. If I wasn't getting so sleepy I'd dig up a diagram of the Flt. 77 approach and do some looking and comparing, but as it stands now I have a loaf of bread that just started beeping at me to come take it out of the oven and then I'm going to bed. So, another day. Take care and keep the shiny side up.

That certainly seems logical. I don't know that our troops benefit from officers who care, though. The decisions that put troops in harm's way are still made by people with the courage, character and patriotism of Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney. (or shadowy, IMF, BIG OIL or Israeli puppeteers who get what they want regardless of the field commanders' concerns, recommendations or wishes) And, I can't think of any officers in my lifetime who had the courage that Butler had, and even he waited until after his retirement to go public. So, "officers who care" but won't risk their careers, especially those who are West Point or Annapolis and legacies from proud military families don't seem to make much of a difference. Those who pride themselves on the courage to lead troops into battle without hesitation when their personal safety is at risk and there's no guarantee that any gains won't be returned by policy makers the next day simply aren't taught (or conditioned) to second guess asshole civilians who claim to "see the big picture". In truth I can't fault any officer who refuses to fall on her/his sword in what would almost certainly be an exercise in futility, especially since dumb ass Americans' would probably fail to support him or especially HER in any meaningful way. ("WE AIN'T GONNA RISK OUR GUMMINT PENSIONS TO SUPPORT A SUSPECTED COWARD!"-I don't blame most seniors for not forgoing social security checks on principle. I don't know any seniors who are wealthy enough to do that, and Hell, I'd eat govt cheese on Chinese WALMART crackers {made with real gypsum! Strong bones and teeth!} to keep the buzzards off my back) I don't expect to shame anyone into anything and I only used the example to amplify and juxtapose the state worship mentality then and now, here and there.
Never said anything of the sort. Are you taking English tutoring from Hanjour's teachers?

I liked your example about the vintage doctor movie. I like to believe these legends about Puller are true: that he refused a winter coat until his men had one, that he gave his own coat to someone he saw who didn't have one. That might not sound much like honor or great benefit and care but in Korea during the winter, described as hell froze over, I consider that heroic. The Military aren't politicians. They need to focus on preparedness and surviving in battle and helping those around them to survive. Many have to maintain security clearances in order to do whatever good they can, however infested D.C. is with the monsterous. It's not their job to initiate a Civil War. It's ours to see that our system of government works as it should so that they aren't thrown like gladiators into arenas of war and survival by Ceasar-types and their minions.

During the USS Liberty discussions, I had to question why McGonagle didn't implement the chemical drill steps (which were practiced earlier that day) when something was dropped onto the ship from an Israeli helicopter after the attacks. Same sort of question comes to mind about why anyone was running around supposedly picking up debris soon after a terror strike. Why would they presume it was safe to do so without hazmat suits? It's not like they had to hurry up about clearing the lawn for appearances.

Indeed it was, Sir. I met a black Korean War vet about 40 years ago when he was delivering meat to a restaurant, and he told me that because of Pork Chop Hill he could not put a pork chop in his mouth, 17 years after the battle. Others related the stacking of bodies at The Chosin Reservoir because the ground was frozen harder than tank armor. Based on your account of Chesty's sacrifice I'd certainly be willing to concede that he cared about his men as much as his intellect permitted. He seemed to love the glory of war and was not known to ever question the noble goals of the planners, and I've often heard marines say that a good marine would never do that. That may be reason to swell with pride as a marine, and it certainly benefits those who may need men to "march into Hell without question or pause" but looking at "the big picture" (and in light of the survey a few years ago asking if marines would disarm Americans if ordered to do so) I can see where troops trained not to question the morality or the constitutionality of any orders could be laying the foundation for "something wicked this way comes...." If Lt. William Calley (Us Army) had his way the victims of The Mai Lai Massacre would have been killed and buried with industrial efficiency and we'd be none the wiser. I can only wonder if Calley asked himself, "What would Chesty do?"
Alleged Flight 11 wasn't reported as terror until alleged Flight 175 was reported as such. Could be it was hoped that the Fl. 175 scenario would be canceled if the Fl. 11 upstaging knocked alleged Fl. 93 from the NY scripting. I suspect that UA93 and UA175, which were actual planes scheduled to fly that day, might have been intended by the inside jobbers to be disappeared into the black market for dual use parts and $$$. UA93 was apparently spotted as intact afterwards rather than parted out or otherwise transferred to the underworld, perhaps because the inside jobbers knew it was being watched after their plans went awry. A youngish commander of the Ohio flight crew who were deployed to intercept UA93 was reported dead of a heart attack soon after. Because I am a No Planes researcher/investigator, I don't believe it was shot down or that there were "valiant passengers" aboard who decided to take it upon themselves to kill everybody before said hijackers did by not waiting for air support to arrive to possibly bring the plane and passengers down to a safe landing. The reported meandering and moseying flight paths do appear to indicate that there was a remote control struggle back and forth between hijackers and counter- hijackers but I think it may be just for show. I suspect there are people on the victims lists that were killed or vanished and their names inserted as a cover for their disappearance and the buildings, insurance scamming, and that sort of thing. Rather mundane Mafia-esq criminality but on a very large scale is what the NO Planes section of the Truth Movement was/is pursuing -- not really "kooky" stuff at all if looked at closely and that's what makes calls from some seeming Truther Top Guns to tar and feather us as "well poisoners" so bizarre and complicit sounding.

Earlier in this posting session, I was trying to recall a conversation at LF where I called the alleged plane entry points at the WTC "glory holes", one of the definitions of which is: There are even definitions of that phrase for oil industry drilling and Navy definitions. Since the Pentagon was struck in the area of Naval Intelligence on 9/11, this definition seems appropriate here: It can seem oftentimes like there are far too few to nearly no good stewards in the quarters of our ship of state in D.C, or the Military, or locally -- just stokers of war and profiteering, mayhem and devastation. If you can't always easily see the good stewards, that might not be quite as bad as it seems because maybe those bad stokers can't see them either.

That was an excellent post, Dawg. "You done good" as they say.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. At this point there are few things I rule out categorically as the truth is often times stranger than fiction. As well, at this point in the game, so much in the way of false trails and disinformation has been planted that I tread very carefully in making assertions without having a firm footing, and there is not a lot of firm footing in the PsyOp that was called 911. Much of 911, I believe, has to be looked at first as a Psychological Operation with Psychiatrists, likely CIA/Mossad/MI-6(think Tavistock Institute), planning the show. 911 was conducted for the effect it would create. It was an effect calculated to numb, terrorize, and herd people into accepting actions, presumptions, and incursions upon their liberty, along with unneeded wars, in ways that would have been strongly resisted without that Psychological/Psychiatric set-up. Remember the news coverage and the overly frequent replaying of the video of the planes crashing into the towers? That was done, I believe, to reinforce and increase the affect of the horror of the event. It was not just the Newsghouls in a feeding frenzy but had a specific purpose. One of the things that has stuck with me is something John Coleman commented on in an interview with Jeff Rense back during the Kosovo bombing campaign mess (at least I believe it was Coleman - been a few years - but the datum stuck and fits as the M.O. for the 911 PsyOp) that a leaked Tavistock Manual contained a section on how to influence a large population group through the use of a massive shock to numb them and temporarily take away their normal resistance to incursions upon their freedoms and/or to resist activities they otherwise would. There was a large agenda predicated on 911 and its psychological affect to undercut resistance even to the point of having some individuals treat anyone as asking questions as a "traitor". Remember the bot refrain - "why do you hate Amurka'"? This was reinforced by other PsyOp outlets such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The obvious, to me anyway, PsyOp reinforcement going on was one of the first things that convinced me with utter cold certainty that 911 was an inside job. I had doubts almost from day 1 because of NORAD's incompetent non-response. I was in the military and have been an aviation nut since I was barely out of diapers so I have a good feel for what NORAD is and the level of skill and knowledge it represents. There are many things NORAD is, but incompetent to this degree they are not. Therefore if one rejects the NORAD incompetence plea (note that no one at NORAD has ever been disciplined in any way however small) then that leads immediately to the logical inference that the 911 terror event had support from the highest levels of the Military Industrial/Intelligence Complex. So, the first thing we can conclude from the events around 911 was that it was conducted with the blessing of the forces now in control of our government. The rest is details and the mechanics of how the operation was conducted. So, here we have arrived at the basic "why". Why was the 911 operation conducted? And who conducted it? The why becomes obvious in light of penumbra of surrounding events - the MIC needs wars to justify the existence of its machinery, status, and ability to make money. Historically international banking criminals such as the Rothschilds and Rockefellers profit heavily from wars, and as well there is an implied control agenda conforming to a long term plan to establish greater control over all the people's of the world. From there we could quickly digress into other supporting datums, such as "Agenda 21", but that would be a digression for the moment. So, we have established Motive i.e., political benefits - control. A secondary motive is financial as the inside players personally profit in money from all of the carnage they wreak (attractive if you are a psychotic conscienceless monster only interested in power and money). So, the circumstances and events continue to lead us back to a coterie of the most powerful interests in our current society - bankers, the military, military industrialists, and their political pawns - such as the former and current Imbeciles of The United States. So, now that we have the why motive and means we can then begin to expand the outline to fill in some of the broader headings. Technical know-how is easily provided by the black-ops/Intelligence community which is also the abode for the soulless Psychiatrists and Psychologists calculating the affects of their operation upon the target group - the American Public. As well they provide the know how in air operations, the operation of air defense, and explosives technology. I have seen and heard it said that the technical level in the black ops world is, at any given moment, 20 to 40 years ahead of what is available in the unclassified world. I believe that to be a true statement based on the snippets, inferences, and leaks of what little does seep out through the cracks. As illustration of what I mean the late Mr. Northrop, founder of Northrop Aviation, is reported, perhaps apocryphally, to have confided tearfully to a small group at an aside to a dinner party "we have the stars but they won't let us go". Who the "they" is was never clarified, but it is instructive at giving a hint as to the level of technology available that is kept out of sight and public awareness. (As an aside I personally think that the technology to quickly, and relatively easily, explore the entire solar system has been available since at least the early 80's if not as far back as the late 60's. The English Hacker McKinnon whom the Pentagon is desperately trying to get extradited from England reported as one of his finds in the Pentagon's computer system the personnel transfer of officers between units of the extraterrestrial fleet is a tantalizing tidbit suggestive of a level of technology the general public is conditioned to think of as "science fiction".) Having taken the long way around to set it up yes I do believe the "no-plane" scenario to be technically possible, but I also do not believe it to be the case for a couple of factors. 1. Holograms don't make sounds. They are images only and as such to create convincing realism one has to have the sound effects. 2. The mechanics of creating such an illusion would be technically more difficult to produce, and likely require more people "in the know", than just using real hijacked aircraft. So, for reasons of practicality, not lack of technology, I think the no-plane scenario a no-go. I do believe it to be a planted disinformation meme and trail. Returning to the main event. We could easily make a list of things that we can nail down with some certainty: 1. The 911 event as staged could not have gone off as it did without the support of people at the highest levels of power in our society and government. The operation was conducted in a manner and fashion well beyond the capabilities of a group of semi-literate Arabs (not to disparage them it is simply true) and orchestrated by cellphone out of cave in Afghanistan. 2. Without discussing their relative merits the technical skills and know-how exist to have implemented any of the major contending theories of how it was carried out. 3. As alluded to in "1" above the supposed hijackers were, based upon extensive research into their backgrounds, neither skillful to carry this off and neither were they "devout muslim fanatics™". By all records researched of their behavior they appear to have been black ops mercenaries who were sacrificed as pawns in a larger maneuver. From there we have a starting place to fill out the rest of the details. And while the details are of interest they are not necessary to the most important conclusion: 911 was very definitely an inside job.

I don't believe this for a second. If anything, they are behind the curve in technology. Most technological advances do not come from these warmongers, they come from private businesses seeking to make a good product that benefits people for a profit. Warmongers then either buy these companies out or steal their inventions, they don't create much of anything on their own. The military industrial complex is know by its fruits, and those fruits are death, destruction and waste, it is not technological innovations. We are exploring the solar system now, it is not a secret. The probes to Mars and Jupiter and its moons are not hidden. If you mean advanced, as in human travel throughout the solar system, then I doubt they have that capability considering they can't even show men on the moon but have to resort to film studios to give the illusion they are there.
God is always good!
What makes you think the US government does't RIP you off every day? Still your silly post means something especial... you believe the fuckers of our nation at the highest level care and even concern themselves about you or the taxpayer////... you are akin to FL and O_I, begging for government.
"we ought to lay off the criticism" -- Pinguinite, circa 2010-05-26 22:17:22 ET
Have you ever worked at a classified government research facility? Are you forgetting about the Manhatten Project, and the fact that project produced the world's first atom bombs? The military industrial complex is know by its fruits, and those fruits are death, destruction and waste, it is not technological innovations. It might not be a positive innovation, but advanced technology using engineering methods unknown outside of classified circles would still be advanced technology.
I don't believe this for a second. If anything, they are behind the curve in technology. Just to cite an example - the SR-71 Mach 3+ super spy plane was operational in 1958. The government would not even admit its existence until 1972. Based on photos and leaks the black world had a launch vehicle to orbit, from a piggy back set up, at least by the mid 90's. Again from leaks etc., the integrated circuit chip was first developed in the black ops world and then seeded into private industry. HAARP relies on, as near as anyone can tell, Scalar Technology developed by Nikola Tesla in the early part of the twentieth century. I believe it very likely that we have already had one or more manned missions to Mars. NASA is a "Dog and Pony" show using out of date technology, starved for funds to keep it so, and the real advanced stuff is buried in high security super secret test areas like Area 51, and others not known of, where the compartmentalization and secrecy is such that once you're in, you're in - forever. While there is no definite confirmation there are rumors that ancient high tech depositories have been excavated, looted, and reverse engineered. Don't kid yourself we ARE NOT the apex of technologic achievement and based on the Indian Vedas and other physical evidences we have not yet reached the levels achieved by at least one prior advanced culture on this planet. For example Christopher Dunn, an aerospace machinist, has photos of things done in Egypt that could only have been done with powered rock cutting saws with precision adjustments able to cut complex curves. The "Sarcophagus" in the "King's Chamber" in the Great Pyramid is cut to such close tolerance that it is aerospace grade - the corners are "true" to within thousandths of an inch. Because there is much incompetence in government, and corruption, do not mistake that for an inability to run secret research programs dealing in things that will not be public for another 30 to 50 years. For example I suspect that we already have a working fusion reactor design and the reason I believe that is the suppression of projects that were on the edge of becoming working installations and were shut down. As well the money spent to prop up programs that continually fail, but are useful to draw public attention - "watch this hand - not the other.

No, I wouldn't work for them for any amount of money. Yes, they did do that, but then again, who else would produce them but warmongers, no one else would even want to.

I took the time to write something meaningful, and you disrespect me with this shit? If you aren't going to make an effort then please don't even flag me. Your reply is the equivalent of scribbling with crayons and pretending that it's art.
lolol... oh dear
oh dear buck can mosh with the best of them when he tries. And I'd just love to see a point by point refutation of my post if he thinks he can sidestep or "employ angular momentum"against" the truth long enough. But, this deliberate diversion or more accurately, wild ass ricochet away from the heart of the discussion topped off with the assertion that calling out NORAD (and by implication The FAA and the airlines) as the complicit, conspiratorial liars they are is "demanding mo' gummint", well, I have to wonder if he let his cat walk on his keypad to type out that nonsense. I mean, if he's eagerly anticipating his nightly bubble bath or otherwise preoccupied I wouldn't mind waiting for a reply. But, I won't accept this half assed judo throw horseshit.
If you aren't going to make an effort then please don't even flag me. Your reply is the equivalent of scribbling with crayons and pretending that it's art. LOL! Buck is a lot like Shirley Q. Liquor in that he "don't know what he's dur'n" or even talkin' about.

I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. You: Those are Original_Indent auditors, supposed to have been killed by the Pentagon Pea Porridge "Not too hot, not too cold" event on 911. Which wasn't violent enough to get rid of the Pentagon principals like Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, but was managed well enough to kill all the heroic accountants, about to uncover a trillion dollar fraud, they couldn't be persuaded to be quiet about. Unlike all the tens of thousands of other 911 conspirators not one of whom has ever come forward. Original_Intent auditors? -- not Pentagon auditors?; or are you insinuating that he made them up and they weren't killed? A trillion dollar fraud is a whole lotta "beans", as you say, but whose counting, eh? Me and that trillion is a huge shortcount that's missing about 1.3 trillion more. I wonder who this unnamed, lucky Army auditor from Ft. Monmouth, NJ on temp duty at the Pentagon was in the article RickyJ posted @ #422. I suppose we'd have to contact the author of the article, Barbara Honegger, to have him called as a witness. Excerpt from 911caper.com/2010/07/07/the-pentagon-attack-papers/: I have interviewed an Army auditor from Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey, who was on temporary duty assignment at the Pentagon before, on and after 9/11. He was in the Army financial management spaces only minutes before the Pentagon explosion on the morning of 9/11. He had just returned to his temporary office on the ground floor of the adjacent south side of the Pentagon by the cafeteria when he heard an explosion and felt the building shake. Immediately afterwards, he said, hundreds of panicked Pentagon personnel ran by him down the corridor just outside his office and out the South Entrance, yelling “Bombs!” and “A bomb went off!” The witness has requested that his name not be used in this summary, but is willing to testify to a grand jury or independent official investigation. This Army financial management/audit area is part of, or contiguous to, the Army personnel offices, which was one of two main west section offices heavily destroyed in the Pentagon attack, the other being the Naval Command Center. The day before 9/11, September 10, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld held a press conference at which he acknowledged that the Pentagon was “missing”—could not account for and needed to “find”—$2.3 Trillion dollars (other reports said $2.6 Trillion). Were the auditors who could “follow the money,” and the computers whose data could help them do it, intentionally targeted? It is worth noting that the Pentagon’s top financial officer at the time, Dov Zakheim

The missing funds stories at the Pentagon actually go back decades and cover several administrations both Democrat & Republican. The processes in the Pentagon and its contractors were always sloppy. There was no need to cover up for Bush and Rumsefeld especially kill auditors whose work would have covered many years going even before Lyndon B. Johnson.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever had just-beyond-reach memories that needed retrieving? Here is one of mine, fortunately found for me by Agora Financial Publications July 28, 2010. In reference to a film produced in cooperation with former US Comptroller David Walker, a conference speaker reminisced: "There was also the special moment in I.O.U.S.A. when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said during a speech, 'According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.' Trillion with a 't.' He delivered that speech, by the way, on Sept. 10, 2001." Here is another memory but it needs verifying. Some time ago I read that the wing of the Pentagon struck on Sept. 11, 2001, housed relatively few people but did include the accounting staff and the records pertaining to the missing $2.3 trillion. Just a link in the chain, maybe...
U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
Oh yeah, sneaking in for 900.
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations
i remember that.
Are you trying to say that Rumsfeld did NOT deliver an admission on 9/10/2001 that the DOD couldn't account for 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS? I don't recall any other such admission by a Secretary of Defense, ever.
I wonder if aggravator is saying or implying that they lose 2.3 trillion or so with every new administration or every year. Seems like a huge pile of money if they are "losing" that on a regular basis. Even just once is a huge pile of money.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. The TOTAL US National Debt is currently a bit over 13 trillion dollars. If they lost 2.3 trillion each new administration, I think it'd be a bit higher than that, given that trillions go towards spending each year.... In 2009 the US government spent 3.5 trillion dollars, where it took in 2.1 trillion. Source: United States federal budget So that means they spent 1.7 trillion dollars more than they took in, adding that to the national debt. What it also means is that the DOD lost more money than what the US government took in back in 2009 from every tax resource at it's disposal. Hell, I'd be happy with one thousandth of that 2.3 trillion, that'd be 2.3 BILLION dollars. Maybe even one millionth would be good, it's still 2.3 MILLION dollars. 2.3 trillion is a million chunks of 2.3 million dollars. That's a LOT of dough.
Of course it's a lot of money. That is why I was wondering if aggravator thinks--and I don't know if I should use the term "thinks" where he is concerned--that the sob's lose that much every few years and can't account for it. Like you, I would be very glad to have a thousandth of that or even a millionth. I could live like a king on that--even on half of that lesser amount, 1.15 million, would be enough to get by on a pretty good while.

Flagging Original_Intent and RickyJ to this post because I forgot to flag them to the previous one at #897 where they were mentioned. Look at the pole in front of the men in the picture you posted, FL. [also at 0:42 sec. in wudidiz's video at #729, #740, and #857] I wonder how what looks like a medical helicopter got parked so close to it. Must have been towed there when the propeller wasn't turning or it doesn't have a propeller, is all I can figure. I don't see how it could be started up in that parking space to be of any emergency use if it did have a propeller with that pole in the way. "Mr. Aviator", does that seem at all unusual to you or do you think maybe the lawn at the Pentagon was used like a storage junkyard for vehicles that didn't work good? Also, there's a picture of a 757 cockpit @ #730 which O_I posted but I oddly haven't been able to locate one for a Boeing 767-223ER like AA11 reportedly was. Could you plz see what you can do to find an example for the 223ER extension and post it for us? TIA.

I'm guessing that the distance from the pole to the helicoptor is actually greater, and that it is perceived as being so close due to the depth of field of the camera lens. In fact, if you look at where the bus is in relation to the men walking out of it at the further away shot at 0:46, it appears that the helicoptor isn't anywhere close to the pole, although it IS hidden behind the bus, so there's no way to get a good comparison. About them poles (especially those at the beginning). They wouldn't be the ones that were supposedly "clipped" and knocked down by the aircraft, are they?

Yes, the comparison only raises even more questions and thanks for pointing that out. I'm gonna have to vote "No", though, on an optical illusion of depth perception as the explanation for such a big disparity between those 2 examples. Could be but aren't those to the right of the reporter around 0:46 the ones the guvbots say were knocked down? Sure does seem like one side or the other shouldn't still be in the area, according to the Official Storytellers.

This video is the type of evidence that should result in criminal trials. Those who can ignore it (as honest folks are being murdered, "suicided" and otherwise destroyed for trying to expose the truth) may run right into their own consciences someday, and nothing anyone can say may be any comfort to them. For the first quarter of the 20th Century and then some my grandfather worked like a DAWG as a mechanic-welder at the long defunct Atlantic Coast Lines Railroad yard, and when he got home from work piss tired and aggravated he had little patience with my father's antics. More than a few times ol' Gramps would beat the living Hell out of Pop until Gramps and "Grammy" finally decided that Pop was incorrigible at the age of nine, and they gave him to North Carolina's infamous reform school system where he remained until he was 18 years old. It was my father's older sister, (Queen Of The Yummy Biscuit) my beloved Aunt Mae V. who told me how in his last years ol' Gramps would walk the streets in the evening weeping and muttering to himself, because he regretted what he did to his son all those years before. And, despite the spirited exchanges I've had with some here about the unspeakable evils of 9/11, I don't wish that type of regret on them. I just hope they understand that by providing cover for the most diabolical of un-American criminals, even in the abstract and from a distance, they are accruing moral and spiritual debt that can crush and even kill men of conscience. My grandfather was dedicated to the railroad, and he even received a commendation from The Budd Company for solving a problem that plagued rail travelers. Specifically, when a train was in the station and the generator wasn't turning the lights were powered by batteries which were stored under the toilets in the restrooms. Gramps welded up a bracket, extended and re-routed the cables and hung the batteries outside and underneath the skirt, which provided great relief to those who had suffered from the concentrated acid fumes in confined WC's for years. Like most working men with a strong work ethic his priorities were clear-he conserved his energy for his work and had no time for dealing with a boy who was struggling with adjustment problems of his own. (The city of Rocky Mount was not the same as growing up on a rural farm, something Gramps didn't understand) Priorities change as we get older. And those who are compelled to side with demons, shapeshifters, lizards and horned übercapitalists now may find that as a companion evil will offer cold comfort in their dotage.
I don't recall any other such admission by a Secretary of Defense, ever. It certainly didn't all happen on his watch. It went back decades. And why would he talk to the press about it on 9/10 then stage a hijacking one day later? After all, you guys are saying "they" didn't even want to do a 100% freefall speed CD because "they" didn't want people to be suspicious.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So let's parse your earlier post @850..... What makes you think the entire system id OFF THEIR GAME to begin with? All 19 of the illegal MFers were permitted by the state department free and capable liberty and freedoms in the USA... some (in fact) received US government training for their flight training. NORAD watches international flights over the Northern Hemisphere for Canada and the USA: Apparently you don't understand that America is not invincible... just as your obvious sidekicks, FL and O_L, you believe in some sort of government control to protect you at all times; this has never been the case. That isn't true at all. What evidence? Show a single FACT or witness about government involvement. Any PROOF with witnesses, documentation or even someone coming forward? Government knows only force ... but it doesn't have capability to perform clandestine power OVER the people. You must cite this idea with absolute proof. Until then, I am sceptical of your post. Don't you feel you get carried away at times? And MORE carried away? No fats? No proof? Just suspicion. And? What's this got to do with 9/11? Are you sure you are capable of discussing issues directly related with 9// or are you just another sanctimonious glutton for emotional appeal? Makes me want to cry... is this directly related to 9/11? Was Chesty alive and kicking on 9/11? You are off topic begging for emotional scenarios out of context with 9/11 events.

Sorry buck, but your reply is too late. But if you study hard and ace the finals (and don't ask Mom for help next time) you can still pass this course.
? Oh, you want an emotional slap on the back? Your post @850 sucked.... no FACTS, NO EVIDENCE, NO DOCUMENTATION, NO WITNESSES.. NADA.... You are just using an emotional appeal... have you ever thought of running for a US government elected position.... based on both the dumbfucks that vote and your emotional appeal... you could be at the helm.

I like to believe these legends about Puller are true: that he refused a winter coat until his men had one, that he gave his own coat to someone he saw who didn't have one. That might not sound much like honor or great benefit and care but in Korea during the winter, described as hell froze over, I consider that heroic.

Rather mundane Mafia-esq criminality but on a very large scale is what the NO Planes section of the Truth Movement was/is pursuing -- not really "kooky" stuff at all if looked at closely and that's what makes calls from some seeming Truther Top Guns to tar and feather us as "well poisoners" so bizarre and complicit sounding.
1.a. A subset of this would be the need to create real physical damage that can be photographed and is convincing to a public unaware that it was a staged event.
So, using a holgraphic projection is simply more complex to implement than using real aircraft. This is augumented very strongly by the fact that the Bush Administration, while making pious high profile propaganda statements about getting the perpetrators, fought the creation of an investigatory commission for over a year. When the commission was created it was hamstrung by limitations in scope and budget. The final report of said commission has now been repudiated by the Chair and Vice-Chair of the commission saying that the government lied even to them. (Why would government agencies and personnel lie to a government commission if not to obscure and keep incriminating information under cover?)

We are exploring the solar system now, it is not a secret. The probes to Mars and Jupiter and its moons are not hidden. If you mean advanced, as in human travel throughout the solar system, then I doubt they have that capability considering they can't even show men on the moon but have to resort to film studios to give the illusion they are there.

The govt intercepts about 100 flights per year for various reasons and without a miss.
THAT DAY, NORAD and the entire system was off their game.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a bi-national United States and Canadian organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. Aerospace warning includes the monitoring of man-made objects in space, and the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands. Aerospace control includes ensuring air sovereignty and air defense of the airspace of Canada and the United States. The May 2006 NORAD Agreement renewal added a maritime warning mission, which entails a shared awareness and understanding of the activities conducted in U.S. and Canadian maritime approaches, maritime areas and inland waterways.
In North America hijacked planes just don't turn off transponders, leave their flight paths and leisurely jet to their destinations unless those in power want them to arrive. And if that was the case it may not have been necessary for any schmucks to actually fly the planes.
The evidence of govt involvement is overwhelming, but some cannot accept it because it requires them to see the shadow govt and their stooges for the truly diabolical creatures that they are.
It's one of our worst kept secrets that at command level in DC they will kill any Munchkin or even their own (Vince Foster, Paul Wellstone, William Colby) that threatens to side with the "enemy", the dumbshit people who actually believe in moral absolutes, i.e. Jesus, ethics, patriotism, loyalty, the constitution, etc.,.
You must understand that many people would rather send you to prison than to accept the unpleasant truth about the govt they serve(d) and themselves.
It's no diff than when a stacked jury is asked to choose between the truth about the income tax while admitting they've been played as fools for years, or, they can consider themselves "highly intelligent, patriotic and law abiding" by convicting the annual publicity target selected to "stimulate voluntary compliance".
State worship is the religion of former KGB snitches and the defenders of the govt's ever changing 9/11 fairie tale and as a religion it should not be underestimated. Hell, I'd bet that most of the assassins in The Phoenix Program still believe in what they did. They certainly aren't likely to grow consciences and face the fact that they are no different than any other murdering cutthroats in history. ("Dear Pentagon, Please stop sending my pension cheacks as I can no longer in good conscience accept them..." Riiiiiight. That'll be the day)
Some assassins no doubt believed that their uniforms and military protocol ennobled their evil, just as some feel that Sicilian tradition, or wars fought under the banners of gang or ethnic loyalties (Bloods vs. Crips) are enough to allow them to remain "good Christians" or at the very least "noble warriors". (The Vatican Bank's laundering of mafia funds certainly did nothing to undermine this belief)
If you compare Major General Smedley Darlington Butler (WAR IS A RACKET) to Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller it's easy to see that one flag officer was a man of good conscience who refused to use the flag as a blindfold while the other at the age of 67 asked to be reinstated for Vietnam, presumably ignoring the fact that our troops were dying in an undeclared "police action war" while Rockefeller's oil tankers never stopped moving in and out of "enemy harbors". (No declaration of war=no Geneva Convention protection. What 'Nam-era flag officer demanded this protection for his troops? Why, none as a matter of fact. BIG OIL and the MIC had needs after all....)
A true patriot (like Butler) would criticize wars for crooked banker lackey-politicians. (like Kissinger) But, a state worshiper who apparently believed that all of his medals were awarded for honor (like Puller) was just too stupid to see that his self deception resulted in service to a truly diabolical god. His stupidity was reinforced by the fact that the truth was considered too rude to mention in polite company, i.e. a room filled with newspaper editors, politicians, diplomats, corporate profiteers and career climbing military officers.
Puller's son was horribly maimed in 'Nam and after years as a govt lawyer, an unsuccessful campaign for Congress and writing the book FORTUNATE SON he eventually committed suicide.
I'm not going to wish that it was his father who suffered the loss of both legs and parts of his hands in a mine explosion. But, I have to wonder if "Chesty" would have proudly borne his son's life changing injuries. He certainly didn't seem to believe that the men he commanded who were killed and injured in service to Big Oil or UNITED FRUIT CO. were wasted.
