New study from Pilots for 9 11 Truth
No Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon

A study of the black box data provided by the government to Pilots for 9/11 Truth has confirmed the previous findings of Scholars for 9/11 Truth that no Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon on 9/11. We have had four lines of proof that no Boeing 757 hit the building, said James Fetzer, founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth. This new study by Pilots drives another nail into a coffin of lies told the American people by The 9/11 Commission:

The new society, an international organization of pilots and aviation professionals, petitioned the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) under the Freedom of Information Act and obtained its 2002 report on American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757 that, according to the official account, hit the ground floor of the Pentagon after it skimmed over the lawn at 500 mph plus, taking out a series of lamp posts in the process. The pilots not only obtained the flight data but created a computer animation to demonstrate what it told them.

According to the report issued by Pilots for 9/11 Truth (http://pilotsfor911truth.org/), there are major differences between the official account and the flight data:

a. The NTSB Flight Path Animation approach path and altitude does not support official events. b. All Altitude data shows the aircraft at least 300 feet too high to have struck the light poles. c. The rate of descent data is in direct conflict with the aircraft being able to impact the light poles and be captured in the Dept of Defense 5 Frames video of an object traveling nearly parallel with the Pentagon lawn. d. The record of data stops at least one second prior to official impact time. e. If data trends are continued, the aircraft altitude would have been at least 100 feet too high to have hit the Pentagon.

As Robert Balsamo, co-founder of Pilots for 9/11 Truth, observes, The information in the NSTB documents does not support, and in some instances factually contradicts, the official government position that American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon on the morning of September 11, 2001. The study was signed by fifteen professional pilots with extensive military and commercial carrier experience. They have made their animation, Pandora’ss Box: Chapter 2, available to the public at http://video.google.com/videosearchq=Pandora’ss+Black+Box%3A+Chapter+2 .

According to James H. Fetzer, founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth (http://911scholars.org), this result fits into the broader picture of what happened at the Pentagon that day. We have developed four lines of argument that prove–conclusively, in my judgment–that no Boeing 757 hit the building. The most important evidence to the contrary has been the numerous eyewitness reports of a large commercial carrier coming toward the building. If the NTSB data is correct, then the Pilot’ss study shows that a large aircraft headed toward the building but did not impact with it. It swerved off and flew above the Pentagon.

Fetzer, who retired last June after 35 years of teaching courses in logic, critical thinking, and scientific reasoning, expressed pleasure over the Pilot’ss results, which, he said, has neatly resolved the most pressing issue that remained about the Pentagon. He added, We have previously developed several lines of argument, each of which proves that no Boeing 757 hit the building, including these four:

(1) The hit point at the Pentagon was too small to accommodate a 100-ton airliner with a 125-foot wingspan and a tail that stands 44 feet above the ground; the kind and quantity of debris was wrong for a Boeing 757: there were no wings, no fuselage, no seats, no bodies, no luggage, no tail! Not even the engines were recovered, and they are practically indestructible.

(2) Of an estimate 84 videotapes of the crash, the three that have been released by the Pentagon do not show a Boeing 757 hitting the building, as even Bill O’sReilly admitted when one was shown on The Factor. At 155 feet, the plane was more than twice as long as the 77-foot Pentagon is high and should have been visible. There are indications of a much smaller plane, but not a Boeing 757.

(3) Indeed, the aerodynamics of flight would have made the official trajectory–flying more than 500 mph barely above ground level–physically impossible, because of the accumulation of a massive pocket of compressed gas (air) beneath the fuselage; and if it had come it at an angle instead, it would have created a massive crater; but there is no crater and the official trajectory is impossible.

(4) Flying low enough to impact with the ground floor would have meant that the enormous engines were plowing the ground and creating massive furrows; but there are no massive furrows. The smooth, unblemished surface of the Pentagon lawn thus stands as a smoking gun proving the official trajectory cannot be sustained.

Members of Scholars have contributed to a new book that analyses the government’ss official account, according to which 19 Islamic fundamentalists hijacked four commercial airliners, outfoxed the most sophisticated air-defense system in the world, and committed these atrocities under the control of a man in a cave in Afghanistan. Entitled, THE 9/11 CONSPIRACY (2007), it includes photographs of the hit point before and after the upper floors collapsed, the crucial frame from the released videos, and views of the clear, smooth, and unblemished lawn.

Don’st be taken in by photos showing damage to the second floor or those taken after the upper floors collapsed, which happened 20-30 minutes later, Fetzer said. In fact, debris begins to show up on the completely clean lawn in short order, which might have been dropped from a C-130 that was circling above the Pentagon or placed there by men in suits who were photographed carrying debris with them. The most striking is a piece from the fuselage of a commercial airliner, which is frequently adduced as evidence.

James Hanson, a newspaper reporter who earned his law degree from the University of Michigan College of Law, has traced that debris to an American Airlines 757 that crashed in a rain forest above Cali, Columbia in 1995. It was the kind of slow-speed crash that would have torn off paneling in this fashion, with no fires, leaving them largely intact. Fetzer has been so impressed with his research he has invited Hanson to submit his study to Scholars for consideration for publication on its web site, 911scholars.org.

The Pentagon has become a kind of litmus test for rationality in the study of 9/11, Fetzer said. Those who persist in maintaining that a Boeing 757 hit the building are either unfamiliar with the evidence or cognitively impaired. Unless, he added, they want to mislead the American people. The evidence is beyond clear and compelling. It places this issue ’sbeyond a reasonable doubt’s. No Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon.

'A secret is held by ONE person. When they tell the second person, it is no longer a secret. A conspiracy starts with TWO people, so it is NOT a secret to begin with and the odds of exposure increase dangerously as members are added."

The government thrives on secrets. The old area 51 held a few, and hundreds of people worked there.

The old Manhatten project wasn't completed by 2 people in a dark closet either.Trying to tell me

the CIA hasn't any secrets? Big government loves big secrets, and the little boys in the white

on 911 I'd think twice about coming forward wouldn't you?

Secrets and or conspiracies are very difficult to contain. In the case of 9/11, as long as a few devoted adherents of power, wealth and or position are all of the same intention, secrecy is viable. However allowing untold members of the masses to be knowingly involved would never work.

You mention Manhattan project. That was reported on daily to the Russians by people that worked at Alamos.

A glaring example is the Glomar Explorer which was done in plain sight with perfect cover. However hardly before a wrench was turned some worker turned over the entire project on paper to the Russian consulate in Washington.

The powers behind 9/11 love to see controversy as to whether a missile, aircraft or whatever hit the Pentagon. More energy expended without looking for them.

finding main landing gear of a 757 inside a room that has a doorway too small to allow entry

You are about as reliable as the people who say they saw an airliner. Religious nuts, Mcjournalists and zionist pan-handlers. I've seen a picture of the landing gear, it wasn't that big. Anything else you apparently made up or had someone make it up for you.

The cold war was a farce, with the same group pulling the strings on both sides, and yet you point to evidence of this, in the form of free flow of citizen-funded "secrets" between sides, as evidence against any conspiracy against citizens. Relying on the fact that most people don't realize what a rip- off the cold war was to sell the proposition that rip-offs don't exist. I can only conclude you only post to confuse people.

I guess that means you know of no other photos of the landing gear besides the one everyone has seen already.

Here's the wheel.

Not too hard to hide just outside the walls beforehand, and aren't there supposed to be like four of them?

757-200 engines: Could be Rolls-Royce or Pratt and Whitney, Weighing between 43,500 lbs and 36,600 lbs.

I worked at Pratt and Whitney back in 1969 on the assembly floor.

A pic of an engine without the fan assembly.

The 757 engine. This engine is smaller than those that I assembled.

Supposedly, the wings "folded back" at entry.

Have you taken any physics courses? Want to tell us all how 36000 lbs at over 400mph (586 feet per second) suddenly stopped foward movement and "folded back" to go through the hole? Now, do consider that the bolts that secure the engines to the wings are designed to break above a certain acceleration. For example, Flight AA 587, where both engines departed from the wings under extreme acceleration, ie, g-forces.

AA 587 puts the lie to the "fold back" theory.

There should have been either 2 holes for the engines, or 2 "marks" on the wall should have been evident, or 2 engines should have been lying on the lawn.

then, i remember hearing or reading that Jackie Kennedy wrote an account of what happened that day and her conversations with LBJ and gave instructions that it was not to be revealed until 50 years after the deaths of both her children. have you heard that? if that is true, then what would we deduce from that?

I have heard that from what I consdered to be a reputable source on NPR - I believe it was her estate's laywer.

I recall the release date was to be fifty years after her death or the death of her daughters whichever came later.

So can expansion, but I don't think that piece was ever hot enough to make it too big to fit through a door, as cynicom says.

Maybe it's smoke residue. Point is that's the only picture of a landing strut anyone has seen, unless cynicom is ready to open up his private collection or something, and no one has matched it to a corresponding piece of a 757, as far as I know. Where are the other seven wheels, the rest of the landing gear that piece fits, and the other entire landing gear assembly.

If the Pentagon would release the videos, they should show something that looks like the video below. They don't. How come? National security? LOL! The video below is also interesting to me in that look how easy it was for Leonard Spencer to create it.(10 minutes) This is what he said regarding his video creation:

"I know it's too late now but I've done it for them. The image on the right is a rough version of what I would have come up with had the Pentagon sought my assistance. I've doctored the CCTV frames to introduce a to-scale Boeing 757 coming in at the correct angle. It took me about ten minutes in Macromedia Fireworks so I'm sure the Pentagon could have come up with something much better. If there's any truth in the official version of events then those frames should really look something like this. Of course, if there's any truth in the official version of events then the Pentagon would not have released a paltry five frames. It would have released the entire footage immediately so people the world over could be shocked and awed by it, just as we were by footage of the attack on the second tower in New York. More than that, the Pentagon would most probably have released for public consumption all the several pieces of video footage that it possesses of this incident. That it has not can mean only that there are details in the footage that we are most definitely not required to see.

I found the following interesting, from the same source above:

Although I said earlier we should resist the temptation to favour one witness statement over and above another, there is nonetheless one witness whose testimony I believe deserves particular mention. Actually this witness wasn't an eyewitness at all because she did not see the incident directly. Nevertheless her account is of particular significance because her exposure to the incident was not as a shocked and surprised observer. It took place within the context of her everyday professional work. Danielle O'Brien was on duty that day as an air traffic controller at Dulles Airport and tracked the approaching Flight 77 on radar as it entered Washington airspace. Of the incoming plane she reported to ABC News:

"The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that that was a military plane....And it went six, five, four. And I had it in my mouth to say, three, and all of a sudden the plane turned away. In the room, it was almost a sense of relief. This must be a fighter. This must be one of our guys sent in, scrambled to patrol our capital, and to protect our president, and we sat back in our chairs and breathed for just a second".

The Body Count: Add One More

William Colby's Death Mystery

By Christopher Ruddy

WASHINGTON---It was March of 1996. My cell phone rang. My literary agent was on the line.

"Cross Colby off the list. He's dead." "Colby is dead," I said with some shock. "Yes, I just heard on the radio he died in a car crash," my agent said.

I did not know former CIA Director Bill Colby, nor did my agent. But we both knew James Dale Davidson, editor of the investment newsletter Strategic Investment. Davidson was not only an associate of Colby's, but Colby had worked for Davidson as a contributing editor for his newsletter.

At the time of my agent's call, he was attempting to find a publisher for my book on the Vince Foster case. We still had no publisher, and my agent had floated the idea of William Colby writing the proposed book's foreword. This would serve several purposes. Colby, as a former CIA chief, would give the book some credibility with a publisher.

Colby had been a key figure in the Watergate scandal after he refused to allow the CIA to block the FBI probe on the Watergate burglary. Colby could not be accused of being part of a right-wing conspiracy. After leaving the CIA, he argued for unilateral disarmament and became a fixture at the left-wing Institute for Policy Studies.

My agent thought Colby might be open to the idea. After all, he worked for Davidson and Davidson openly claimed Foster was murdered, pointing the finger at the Clinton White House.

But now the idea of a Colby foreword seemed lost.

I called Davidson and asked him if he had heard the news about Colby. His voice became strained. He sounded stunned when I told him.

But, of course, Colby had not died that March. He died a month later. My agent was wrong. To this day, he swears he heard something, and to this day, we laugh about the Jungian wrinkle in time. Davidson was peeved at me for the false report, as he well should have been.

On April 29, 1996, the wires flashed with hot news: Former CIA Director William Colby had disappeared from his country home on the Wicomico River in Maryland. Authorities suspected he died in a canoeing accident, as his waterlogged canoe was found on the shore near his home.

A week later, his body surfaced in the marsh near his home. After a perfunctory autopsy, local police authorities closed the case as an accident.

Still, there were many reasons to suspect foul play.

These suspicions began as soon as the initial press reports came out. As expected, the Associated Press ran the first wire story. Colby "was missing and presumed drowned" the AP reported. The wire story said he died as the result of "an apparent boating accident."

Quoting a source close to Mrs. Colby, who was in Texas at the time her husband disappeared, the AP stated Colby had spoke via phone with his wife on the day he disappeared. He told her he was not feeling well, "but was going canoeing anyway."

This would be an important clue pointing to an accidental death, had it been true. But someone fabricated this story out of whole cloth. A week later, Colby's wife rebutted the AP report, telling the Washington Times her husband was well, and made no mention of canoeing.

This initial, false report that relieved obvious suspicion was, for me, a red flag of a cover-up.

Interesting too, were the obituaries being written. All detailed Colby's fabled career in the World War II-era OSS, the James Bond-like spy who parachuted behind Nazi lines and became a stellar CIA agent. After heading up the Company's Phoenix program in Vietnam, Colby was tapped by President Nixon for the position of DCI--Director of Central Intelligence. These obituaries detailed a formidable list of Colby's associations after he left the CIA.

Yet, nowhere did any media report Colby's most significant occupation at the time of his death--contributing editor for Davidson's Strategic Investment.

Odd that Colby's major affiliation at the same time of his death deserved no notice.

Strategic Investment is a prestigious financial newsletter with more than 100,000 readers each month. It is co-edited by James Davidson, a national figure, as well as William Lord Rees-Mogg, former editor of the Times of London.

This curious omission takes on great importance when one understands one of Strategic Investment's key aspects. It has been one of the leading, real opposition publications to Bill and Hillary Clinton in the United States.

Davidson and Rees-Mogg have never pulled any punches about the Clintons. Each month, the newsletter detailed the Clintons' sordid drug, mob, and murder connections. Davidson had been a friend of Bill Clinton and had frequented Little Rock. He even had donated the maximum amount allowable to Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.

In 1993, Davidson had an awakening about Clinton. My reporting on Foster, investigative reports by British reporter Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, and columns by Strategic Investment's Washington insider Jack Wheeler, had convinced Davidson that Clinton was linked to organized crime, had subverted the U.S. law enforcement agencies, and was a danger to America's institutions and financial well-being.

As an editor for Davidson's newsletter, Colby never wrote about the Clintons or touched upon these matters. He did, however, lend his name to Davidson's enterprise. The newsletter's reach was multiplied by the effect of the millions of direct-mail pieces Davidson's organization sent to homes across the country seeking new subscribers.

I was shocked by one such direct-mail booklet. The cover headlined the Clintons' connection with murder and drugs. I opened the first page, and the first picture I saw was William Colby's. Another headline blazed that Strategic Investment was "An Investor's CIA." Colby was prominently displayed, as was his endorsement. This was brilliant marketing on behalf of Strategic, but when I saw it, I thought Colby was swimming in dangerous waters.

This turned out to be literally true when he was found floating on the Wicomico. Like the Foster death, the circumstances of Colby's passing made little sense.

When police entered his country home, they found both his radio and computer left on. "Investigators found dinner dishes on a table and clam shells in the kitchen sink." Friends say this was unusual for Colby, a meticulous man.

The canoe was found conveniently waterlogged near the waterfront part of his home. Considering the swift current of the Wicomico, that made sense only if he died very close to the shoreline near his property. Yet authorities using scuba divers and sophisticated radar couldn't find his body there.

And a canoe is an extremely seaworthy boat. How did it become lodged and waterlogged on the riverbank? Had Colby been stricken by a heart attack and fallen off, as has been speculated, the canoe should have completely capsized or safely righted itself, not become waterlogged and moved by the current to the Colby waterfront.

Then there were other telling problems. Colby was found with no lifejacket. He always wore one when on the water. The scrupulous search for him should have turned up the floating life jacket or the buoyant paddle. Neither was found.

An autopsy by a Maryland coroner found that Colby had died of drowning. The autopsy also claimed that drowning was precipitated--get this--by a heart attack or stroke. Take your pick. But the coroner found no evidence of either!

Police homicide investigators always treat drowning deaths with great suspicion. Trained killers know that someone killed by drowning is "buried" in deep water, a target of predatory sea life. After days there, the body is mutilated by sea life to such a degree that any signs of a struggle are difficult to identify.

In the days after Colby's demise, I was disturbed by the many parallels to the Foster death: the circumstances that just didn't add up, the outrageously phony initial press reports, the quick official rush to judgment by investigative agencies, the questionable autopsy.

My feathers were ruffled more when I received a call from Peter Birkett, an investigative reporter from Britain's Daily Express. Peter had been rushed over to the United States, he said, because the paper's intelligence sources in M15 had claimed Colby was assassinated by U.S. government operatives. Peter's job was to ferret out the facts.

The Express is a credible paper, and Peter seemed genuinely interested in the truth. He had heard about my Vince Foster reporting and was told by contacts in Britain that I could offer him some insight. I told him my concerns, notably the unreported Colby connection to Davidson's newsletter.

Peter began his own investigation and gave me progress reports as things unfolded. He spoke to the local police, some of whom, he claimed, didn't buy the boating story accident. For one thing, one of the investigators told Peter that Colby's body was found fully clothed. His socks were on, but his shoes were missing. Colby always wore shoes when canoeing, particularly on a blustery April day.

Peter told me that the cop asked incredulously: "How did his shoes come off? In the middle of a heart attack or stroke, he began untying his shoes after his canoe capsized?"

Peter left for England with few answers and more doubts.

In the weeks after the death, I bumped into a former, very high intelligence official who served in the Reagan administration. He was quite agitated about Colby's death. He believed that the Clinton White House must have gone ballistic when they saw Colby's endorsement of Davidson's newsletter. This former official had little doubt the hit was ordered at the highest levels.

He drew for me a diagram of the main players at Strategic Investment organization and explained that Colby was at risk because he "gave the whole thing credibility."

I have no idea whether Colby was murdered. His unusual death, added to the many others with some Whitewater connection, was not something that could be ignored.

The Body Count

As the impeachment deliberations continue here in Washington, and the press continues to downplay their significance, undercurrents of the real danger posed by the Clintons are well known.

Inside the Beltway, even the most ardent impeachment supporters--such as Bob Barr or Dan Burton--won't utter the "M" word. M for murder.

Bob Barr, appearing on a recent edition of Geraldo, suggested that Linda Tripp had every reason to tape herself because she had legitimate "fears."

But even the intrepid Bob Barr wouldn't explain clearly to the American public what those fears were. Of course, NewsMax.com laid it out in black and white. Linda was afraid of being murdered. She was afraid of Monica being murdered.

Tripp said so, under oath, before the Starr grand jury. So here the key government witness to ignite the whole Lewinsky matter testifies that she knows top government officials perjured themselves about the circumstances of Vince Foster's 1993 death. And the press ignores the story.

Linda is not without credibility, as she was right there as a secretary in the Counsel's Office when Foster died.

Tripp also testified about murder in the first degree of Jerry Luther Parks, the former security chief at the Clinton-Gore 1992 campaign headquarters. Tripp said she knew of a flurry of unusual activities at the White House after Foster's death.

Trying desperately to explain to a bewildered, pro-Clinton grand jury why she began tape recording her young friend, Monica Lewinsky, Linda told of a Clinton "body count"--a list of many people associated with Bill Clinton who had died under mysterious circumstances, such as suicide plane crashes, mysterious illnesses, "suicides," and even outright murder. Linda said the list she saw had 40 names on it, including Foster's and Parks'.

This dramatic testimony by Tripp got no mention in the major press.

The establishment press has made any talk of murder in relation to the Clintons absolutely taboo. Bob Barr won't mention it. Dan Burton, who dared to raise questions about Foster's death by gunshot in 1995, was quickly skewered by the press, and is on the permanent target list of the White House.

The only discussion of the murder issue was raised by Hillary Clinton herself, when, in the aftermath of the Lewinsky matter, she told NBC's Matt Lauer that the people behind the vast right-wing conspiracy had even accused her and her husband of murder.

According to press reports, Hillary's strategy was dreamed up by none other than Sid Blumenthal, a key advisor to both Bill and Hillary. Sid has been obsessed by this idea of murder. In the 1970s he edited a book entitled "Government by Gunplay." Ironically, Blumenthal's book argued that the U.S. government had regularly and systematically used murder to advance its agenda, killing the likes of JFK, Dr. King, the Black Panthers, and others.

It would be interesting to know if Blumenthal believes the left, once in power, has a right to knock off right- wing opponents.

The idea that right-wingers murder their left-wing opponents has had currency with the left for some time. During Watergate, Katherine Graham's Washington Post invested its resources in investigating the 1972 assassination attempt on presidential candidate George Wallace. As detailed in Woodward and Bernstein's "All the President's Men," the Post editors were suspicious because Nixon had too much to gain by eliminating Wallace from the presidential race.

Today, the press, heavily dominated by the left and Clinton allies, scoffs at any notion of murder linked to governmental authorities.

Yet discussion of the high number of deaths associated with Bill Clinton has received wide interest from the public. Via the internet, various e-mails circulate constantly about the Clinton "body count."

Within the highest levels of our government, the fear of murder is talked about openly, but in closed circles.

For instance, a California Republican congressman who took a keen interest in the Foster case in 1996 and had pressed for a review of the Park Police handling of the case, abruptly dropped the matter. He told an associate of mine that he consulted with four other members of his committee. All agreed Foster was murdered and that they were scared to death to proceed.

Others use the lame excuse that "the country just can't handle the truth." For instance, Free Congress Foundation Chairman Paul Weyrich wrote in his newsletter that Republican Sen. Don Nickles explained to him why the Senate would not probe Foster's death.

"If Foster didn't die the way Fiske said he did, then it is likely the president is somehow involved, and if he is, the democratic process simply can't survive such a disclosure," Weyrich quoted Nickles as saying.

Similarly, Accuracy in Media chief Reed Irvine was skeptical at first about the notion that Vince Foster might have been murdered. When Irvine asked a top aide to Sen. Jesse Helms why this matter was not being looked into, the aide told him bluntly that since the Clinton White House was capable of resorting to murder, people were afraid to mount a challenge.

Another case in point: Earlier this year, I gave a speech about my reporting on the Clinton scandals. I won't disclose where. But I will reveal that the wife of one of the federal judges that sits on the three-judge panel that oversees Starr's independent counsel probe showed up. The judge's wife asked me a pointed question about the credibility of one of the witnesses in the Foster case, and seemed disturbed by the whole matter.

After my talk, a prominent businessman said he was close to the judge's family and said the judge had told his family that some "82 people have been murdered since Clinton became president."

Perhaps the most important disclosure of this year was made by Donald Smaltz, the independent counsel investigating former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy and possible payoffs made to Espy by Clinton backer Don Tyson.

Appearing on PBS' Frontline with Peter Boyer, Smaltz detailed how the Janet Reno Justice Department blocked his inquiry at every turn. When Smaltz discovered significant evidence that Tyson had made cash bribes to Bill Clinton when Clinton served as governor of Arkansas, he wanted to investigate.

Smaltz admitted on PBS that his wife "has always been concerned my life was in physical danger."

Smaltz shrugged off such suggestions of danger, he recounted, until he had a "High Noon" confrontation with Reno and the six highest officials in the Justice Department. Reno and gang told Smaltz that he wouldn't be allowed to investigate the evidence of wrongdoing.

After this meeting Smaltz told his wife, "You know, Lo, for the first time since I've been back here, I'm afraid." Smaltz quickly added that he was also afraid for the country.

Smaltz is right. Rather than preserving "democracy," as Nickles suggested to Weyrich, the whole country has been put at risk by the failure of the nation's legal institutions and the major press to confront the Clintons' takeover of the nation's law enforcement agencies.

Their politicization of the administration of justice is demonstrated by the failure of the government to conduct adequate death investigations. Instead, when one questions the deaths of Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and Jerry Parks, asking why the most basic death investigations have yet to be conducted, the establishment media brands the skeptic a "conspiracy theorist" or "Clinton hater." Other establishmentarians exclaim, "How dare you accuse the Clintons of murder."

Obviously, many elites inside of Washington's Beltway believe that Foster's death was anything but a suicide. And the Clinton body count is taken quite seriously in many circles.

The high number of unusual deaths is a prism by which to understand what has happened to America during the past six years. Contrary to Sen. Nickles' claims, America won't collapse if we were to learn the truth about Foster, Brown, and the others.

The truth would be ugly, but America would be stronger. The danger is that the cancer is not exposed and eliminated. This is the real danger for America.

If a group of people became legally unaccountable, as we have seen with the Clinton administration, then the nation risks a dictatorship. This could take many forms, the least likely a bunch of brownshirts marching down the street.

The Mexican model is more likely, where leaders are "tapped" by the ruling elite and the baton passes from one to another under the guise of "democracy."

I recall Huey Long was once asked if he thought America would ever become fascist. He responded, "Of course it will, but we'll call it anti-fascism."

The Lying Government Bastards and the Bombs

Once upon a time I believed that the U.S. Govt. did as much good as it did ill. I believed that government had to commit acts of espionage abroad in order to maintain peace at home. In days past I considered the U.S. a good country for the most part and a stabilizing force in the world.

Today, I don't think the U.S. Govt. has ever acted benevolently but rather has carefully dismantled democratically elected governments whenever they haven't conducted their government in a manner acceptable to U.S. business interests or when U.S. business concerns wanted to appropriate foreign wealth or assets.

The acts of the U.S. Government commited against foreign countries was difficult for most Americans to grasp until most recently because the U.S. media had ample opportunity to spin the information in a positive direction, without much concern that the other side of the story would be exposed at least for long enough to allow the U.S. government or its agencies to develop adequate doubt in the minds of Americans in the end blurring things enough to make concrete answers impossible.

The domestic theft and terrorism conducted against Americans by the U.S. Government that is being reported via the internet has done more to awaken a very dedicated faction of truth seekers within the U.S. that are having a tremendous impact upon the criminals ability to further their aims both domestically and internationally.

The internet has allowed the light to shine upon the many dark acts of the U.S. Government. There is still much disinformation poured into the information pool, but at the same time there are millions of viewers accessing the information immediately on an international basis wherein they're able to digest it and make logical deductions either independently or in large groups in real time.

Your post above is a prime example, as are most of your posts, that today private individuals have access to a wealth of information and that people having diverse interests and occupations are able to monitor international events and capable of exposing them in real time or in chronological time lines that allow for a far more honest, intelligent, and circumspect conclusion to be drawn either way.

While some are adept at imagining how the dots most likely line up, others are able to draw logical conclusions from the evidence available. The element that seems to be lacking is an organized systematic method for deconstructing the entities responsible for the chaos and destruction being conducted in our name.

There isn't any need in my mind for even one more incident to occur in order for me to know positively that the U.S. Government is a criminal enterprise. I think many others have come to this same conclusion and yet we seem to lack a definitive plan to correct things, while the agenda driven elitists may determine the exposure of their activities and persons necessitates more terror than I care to express here in order to quell the exponentially increasing dissent amongst Americans and the international community.

I appreciate your quality posts supported by archived facts that are often forgotten because they tend to connect the dots and re-establish necessary links between events and the parties responsible for them. This "is" our country and we must defend it. The surreal nature of events taking place right before our eyes contrary to our history and culture have a hypnotic effect that prevents us from acting immediately in our own best interests. Our belief systems have been ingrained to such an extent through our education that we find it difficult to accept that the enemy is our own people that are being compartmentalized and directed from the top down.

Non-biased factual reports like the immediate one posted by yourself will assist us in awakening those police and military personel that will be required to disobey orders from above in order for us to re-establish liberty in what has become a police state.

Have you taken any physics courses? Want to tell us all how 36000 lbs at over 400mph (586 feet per second) suddenly stopped foward movement and "folded back" to go through the hole? Now, do consider that the bolts that secure the engines to the wings are designed to break above a certain acceleration. For example, Flight AA 587, where both engines departed from the wings under extreme acceleration, ie, g-forces.

Physics???

Good heavens no. Above my pay grade.

Most of us come with a modicum of common sense, reasoning and willingness to to be practical.

That being said, as a practical person, if there were no engines and no landing gear found at the sight, then by all means an aircraft did not impact the Pentagon. However the hundreds of people that WERE THERE seem to agree that such debris was indeed found and many even photographed them.

Having worked on aircraft assembly, you certainly have knowledge of the size and weight of the main landing gear of a 757. No one person or many walked into the Pentagon with such in hand to "plant" as proof, prior or after the incident.

Now if zero aircraft debris was found then you certainly are correct. Taking a physics course would not deter or enable me to refute the hundreds of eyewitnesses.

Cynicom, maybe you could answer something for me? I never could understand how they knew

enough about the planes to fly so well, yet did not turn off the transponders. Is this a hard thing to do ?

The transponders left us with such a "pretty" picture of just where the planes where at any given time.

That always struck me as a tad convenient. Like a magician waving his right hand while the left does

the deed. Can a transponder assigned to a plane be physicaly elsewhere? Like actually on another plane?

A transponder is not unique to any aircraft. Just another piece of avionics. Hard wired.

Without checking, I believe that ATC Washington had a military C-130 shadowing the AA 757 and the C-130 saw the explosion at the Pentagon.

Some people wanting to believe something does not make it true. Incorporating hundreds of people into a conspiracy ensures that it will become undone.

It is not difficult to notice that there is very little attention paid by experts, governments or individuals to unmask the original conspirators. Spending untold time, money and effort to argue what hit the Pentagon is fruitless. I would prefer to know who the first two individuals were that hatched the overall plan.

Regardless of what hit the Pentagon, an aircraft, missile, a bomb, whatever, it shows we have done nothing about finding the masterminds. This must really amuse the bad guys that no one is lifting a finger to look for them.

Odds are that this Government at the very least KNEW something was afoot. Difficult to believe they were totally clueless.

Media was there when the landing gear was dragged out.

===========

Where were they when it was dragged in ? (Just a thought).

Main landing gear would require many men to "drag" in and they were found within rooms that had standard doorways of 2/8 x 6/8.

I don't know how I got on this old thread, but I guess that didn't register with me before.

From the article:

Don’t be taken in by photos showing damage to the second floor or those taken after the upper floors collapsed, which happened 20-30 minutes later, Fetzer said. In fact, debris begins to show up on the completely clean lawn in short order, which might have been dropped from a C-130 that was circling above the Pentagon or placed there by men in suits who were photographed carrying debris with them.

I guess this didn't register either.

Does anyone know the direction the C-130 approached the Pentagon?

I'm curious because I live south of the Pentagon, and heard something fast and low heading toward the Pentagon from Southwest of me that day. It sounded like a missile, except that I had the impression it might have been bigger than that, but it was not coming from the correct direction for Flight 77. I have always been confused about what I heard. Shortly after it passed overhead, I heard an explosion and the whole house shook and the windows rattled. Now when I looked at some of the pictures of the Pentagon in the past, I thought I saw a dark patch ON THE ROOF kind of near the vicinity of the hole in the side of the building. I always wondered what this was, as it rather looked like a hole, but no one ever mentioned it as far as I know. Was it just my eyes playing tricks on me, or has anyone else noticed the same thing?

Reading the tidbits above, I began to wonder if and how they could drop something from one of those planes [aren't they huge lumbering things?] and have it land where they wanted it to, like inside the Pentagon, for instance. A quick search seems to suggest that isn't a problem:

Bagram C-130s drop high-tech cargo delivery system

[pic - Bagram C-130s drop high-tech cargo delivery system Joint Precision Air Drop System bundles fall out of the back of a C-130 Hercules Aug. 25. The drop was made from almost 10,000 feet above sea level and was calculated using up-to-the-minute wind data relayed from two small dropsondes deployed 20 minutes earlier. The dropsondes calculate wind speed and relay the information back to the aircraft, helping to calculate the correct drop point. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Brian Ferguson)]

by Maj. David Kurle 455th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs

9/1/2006 - BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan (AFPN) -- The same global positioning technology that helps fighter and bomber pilots deliver smart bombs with pinpoint accuracy now allows cargo bundles dropped from cargo planes to steer themselves to drop zones.

A C-130 Hercules from the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron here dropped supplies to a U.S. Army unit in Afghanistan Aug. 31, using the military's newest airdrop system for the first time in a combat zone.

An Air National Guard crew, deployed from Alaska's 144th Airlift Squadron, dropped bundles using the Joint Precision Airdrop System, or JPADS, which the Army and Air Force have been developing together since 1993.

"This was the first Air Force employment of the joint precision airdrop system in an operational or combat airlift mission," said Maj. Neil Richardson, chief of the combat programs and policy branch at Air Mobility Command. He deployed here as part of the JPADS Mobile Training Team to oversee the first combat use of the system and to train C-130 crews how to use it.

"The system did exactly what it was designed for and delivered ammunition and water to ground troops here in Afghanistan," he said.

The JPADS is a family of systems designed to bring the same accuracy to the airlift community that strike pilots have enjoyed since the development of GPS-guided bombs, called joint direct attack munitions, or JDAMS.

"It's the JDAMS of logistics," Major Richardson said.

The goal, when the system is fully developed, is to field four sizes of JPADS - extra light, light, medium and heavy. Though still in the concept-development phase, the heavy JPADS may be able to airdrop up to 60,000 pounds of cargo, more than enough to deliver the Army's eight-wheel Stryker combat vehicle.

"Soldiers in forward fighting positions will have a viable means of airdrop re-supply, which is more accurate and increases survivability of critical supplies, like ammunition, fuel, food and water," said Chief Warrant Officer Cortez Frazier, aerial delivery chief for Combined Joint Task Force-76's Joint Logistics Command.

"JPADS will ensure the war fighter can continue to combat and win against terrorism," he said.

The JPADS loads have GPS receivers which are updated, while traveling in the airplane, through a repeater in the cargo bay that re-broadcasts the aircraft's GPS coordinates to electronics fastened to the cargo.

When dropped, the GPS receivers guide steering mechanisms that literally fly the cargo, under a rectangular para-foil, to the desired point of impact.

"They are autonomously steered by GPS and electro-mechanical steering actuators," said Maj. Dan DeVoe, a command tactician at the Air Mobility Warfare Center, McGuire Air Force Base, N.J., and also on the mobile training team. The actuators pull risers on a parachute -- turning it one direction or another -- to position the load over the desired point of impact.

Once the load is positioned over the drop zone, a second parachute deploys and the cargo descends almost straight down to troops on the ground.

In Afghanistan, C-130 crews drop the light version of JPADS, dubbed the "screamer" because it falls at 100 mph. It can deliver container delivery system bundles, containing food, water, ammunition and other supplies, weighing 500 to 2,000 pounds, to troops on the ground.

"We're resupplying small units, so we don't need a big volume of parachutes and equipment," said Army Lt. Col. Robert Gagnon, the deputy commander of the 10th Sustainment Brigade, whose job is resupplying Soldiers in Afghanistan. "It allows us to get into a small area from a stand-off distance, where the aircraft is out of harm's way."

Prior to dropping the screamer, a C-130 loadmaster will pitch a small transmitter called a dropsonde from the back of the aircraft, which relays wind speeds and direction back to the navigator's laptop computer.

"It's a very accurate, very real-time wind picture of what's going on out there," Major Richardson said. "A lot of your error comes from wind and we've taken a lot of the error out."

Under traditional airdrop procedures, C-130 navigators guided the aircraft's pilots to a single point in space to take advantage of forecasted winds to blow unguided loads under a parachute to a drop zone on the ground as the cargo descended.

Because the winds were forecasted, they may or may not have been the same by the time the aircraft actually arrived at the drop zone.

With JPADS, navigators gather up-to-the-minute information about wind direction and speed, then, because the loads can steer themselves, can fly to an area over the drop zone to release the loads as opposed to a single point.

"As long as you are in that launch acceptability region, you can call green light and your loads are going to go to their intended targets," Major Richardson said.

In addition to accuracy, JPADS allows different bundles to steer themselves to more than one drop zone.

"You can basically fly to an area, drop the bundles, and they will steer where they need to go," Major DeVoe said. "With one green-light call, bundles can go to multiple locations."

The increased accuracy and ability to drop to more than one location at the same time means that Soldiers on the ground recover the cargo quickly and know exactly where it will land.

"(JPADS) ensures the supplies are received in a timely manner," Colonel Gagnon said. "The Soldiers get what they need, when they need it and how they need it. The drop zone is set up for a shorter period of time, the loads come in, the aircraft is gone and the Soldiers are gone before the enemy knows what's taken place."

The new system also allows aircrews to drop from higher altitudes, moving C-130s farther from the threat of enemy ground fire and still deliver cargo accurately by air drop. The higher an aircraft drops, the less accurate the loads become -- until now.

"JPADS takes the aircrew and the aircraft out of harm's way by being higher and further away from the drop zones and therefore, further away from the threats," Major Richardson said.

"On the ground side, the precision of the airdrop systems themselves allows the guys to pick up all the stuff right around the desired point of impact, as opposed to being dispersed or scattered across the entire drop zone," he said. "They're not risking their lives gathering the loads."

I've seen simulations supposedly to scale where the plane is smaller than that simulation. I suppose it hit somewhat further away along the wall, compared to what you have there, so the plane is I guess depicted a little large.

Still, there is no possibility that a plane the size of AA77 hit the pentagon, for the evidence does not fit, IMO.
