"My point is that they were more dangerous once IN power than they had been prior to being in power. Why? They had far greater resources at their command.

Think about that.

I know perfectly well that people on both sides of the fence may tell lies, but the ones in power worry me more than the ones out of power. "

I don't think that makes me feel any different, in fact it scares more about "anti-government" sources. Look what Mao, Stalin, Hitler and others became. They were able to use propaganda to rise to power - a rise built on lies and hatred. Look at where they took it. Why would I trust people like that??? How different is it from what we are seeing today?

Again, it boils down to looking at the message and using reason - not making an assumption based on the source.

Bruce, indeed I do know how 'big' the Pentagon is, from the outside. I doubt it's changed from what I saw back in either the late '60s or early '70s. To show you that I am actually more interested in the 'truth' to do with 9/11 than I am with bashing that crap you have in the White House, please check this link. Both text and 'pics'. I do tend to read and research both side of an issue, and after 6 years on this one, I'm still puzzled. That is why I would like to see another investigation that keeps government's filthy hands off the input and output. Sorry, but tha bastards can't be believed. Too many years of bullshit from them.

I can't get the site to hotlink, so instead, please Google

Peace,

Then you KNOW just how BIG the building is- and I fail to see how one can think that the plane is not big enough to be a 757.

The people whose bodies were found in the wreckage were on a 757.

The wreckage found at the crash site was from a 757

The radar showed the track of the 757 going in.

Witnesses say it was an airliner, and descriptions matched the AA 757.


So I guess we should assume it was a cruise missile.

A BETTER case can be made for it to have been a DEMOCRATIC plot to destabilize the governemnt, and take over- NOT that I believe that was the case.





Still waiting on the examples that CarolC owes me. or an apology.

That's right, Ron. Any group can do it. Absolutely. Remember "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" and what they did to Kerry? Gosh! I wonder who backed and organized and paid for that little effort? ;-)

The reason I fear governments more when it comes to this sort of thing is that they have far greater resources to bring to bear in mounting a coverup...and the mainstream media tend to march in lockstep with them, since it's all basically the same huge pool of corporate money backing it in the final analysis. One hand washes the other.

I'm more worried about government-supplied disinformation than I am about disinformation supplied by various small groups of anti-government radicals...because the government's powers of spreading disinformation are so much greater and so much more effective. They own the main tools of the system. They are akin to Joe Stalin or Chairmen Mao. They rule. That makes them potentially much more dangerous than those who oppose them.

Donuel,

I have seen the interviews with both victims and families of those killed. One of my good friends was the AA person who sold the tickets to two of the highjackers, and he knew the flight crew ( pilots and stewardesses). I watched the funerals of some of the dead, and do not believe that all those involved would have NOT identified the bodies as best they could- by DNA and dental records, at least. To be told it was a cruise missle , and to ignore those killed AND FOUND IN THE WRECKAGE, seems to be less than reasonable.

I have been to and into the Pentagon- as have many others. Friends of mine have worked in the section that was hit. To state that the blurred image WAS NOT a 757, without even being aware that the security camera only takes frames at longer intervals than a video camera does, and to state that the wreckage that WAS FOUND ON THE SITE was somehow "inserted" (under the eye of how many cameras???) in order to be able to blame the Bush Administration shows a paranoia that seems to me to be over the top.

"When governments cover something up, a lot of lies are told. False witnesses are provided. Lying (and even probably some sincerely honest) "experts" are provided to explain and support the lies. False data is quoted as gospel. A great deal of effort is made in the media to support the lies."

Don't forget that ANY group with a mission can do the same thing. It does not have to be a government that lies - any group with an agenda can produce the same "experts" and tell their own "lies".

Our distrust of government should not cloud our views that there are other groups that would love to use this to their advantage. While people often say that the government used 9/11 to push their war, it should also be stated that anti-government groups are using 9/11 to push their views as well.   

People are gullible. Propaganda works both ways.

The thing is, BB, I don't know who (on the public record) is lying and who isn't...nor does anyone else here.

When governments cover something up, a lot of lies are told. False witnesses are provided. Lying (and even probably some sincerely honest) "experts" are provided to explain and support the lies. False data is quoted as gospel. A great deal of effort is made in the media to support the lies.

So it all depends on whether there has been a coverup or not. If there has been (for some reason...and there could be a number of reasons), then we cannot necessarily trust anything from the official record, except (hopefully) photos taken on the day by the press and by satellite.

Any other information on the public record may be falsified or orchestrated to mislead.

All I can go on as irrefutable is what I see in the photos and videos. I don't see what looks like a 757. I see what looks like a much smaller flying vehicle of some kind, flying dead level...possibly a cruise missile...possibly a small, white aircraft. I see damage on the building that does not suggest a hit by a 757. I see a lawn that does not look like it was hit by a 757.

That raises a lot of questions.

As far as the conflicting testimony of various eyewitnesses...it simply raises more questions, because one has no way of knowing:

1. who is telling the truth
2. who was correctly interpreting what they saw

False eyewitnesses can be and ARE provided by governments who wish to cover up something. Governments are not stupid. If they have a vital need to cover up something and create a false cover story about a major incident they will go to tremendous effort and enlist the aid of a great many highly professional people in creating that story, and providing voluminous amounts of false evidence. This is the sort of thing that organizations like the CIA and military intelligence people are trained to do...when necessary.

They have enormous resources. We don't. Don't forget that.

The only question is...are they covering up? If so, then expect an avalanche of official disinformation in the media, and expect to be ridiculed for ever questioning it. Furthermore, expect to have your career terminated or at least very badly damaged if you are in a government job or an important media job. That's always a good way of shutting up mainstream dissent. Few people can afford to lose their careers.

As for dissent by a few ordinary people who aren't mainstream (in the government or the media)? Well, it hardly matters, does it?

Until martial law is declared.

Then...I guess we ordinary people better learn to keep our mouths shut, right?

Peace:    the picture you posted shows a single track of burned grass directed at the Pentagon.

Note that the "plane" had to have gone over the elevated highway and instantly drop 50 feet to burn the grass 30 feet away from the highway.

I do not have an explaination for this peculiar SINGULAR trail the "plane" made on the grass in front of the Pentagon.

1. Why would they release footage that shows a missle hitting the Pentagon? If it "clearly" shows something other than a jet, how come this footage did not disappear?

2. If it was a missle, where was it launched from?

3. If someone strategically placed fake plane wreckage, why was this not captured on camera? There were people swarming the area within seconds of the hit - people on the highway and surrounding environs. How come this wasn't seen definitively?

4. What is the motivation for attacking the Pentagon? In all of Washington, there were numerous other targets that would have made a larger impact. Why not destroy the White House or the Capitol? Surely a missle leveling the White House would have had people signing up for military service within the hour.

5. Why are there so many witnesses who saw a plane hit the Pentagon and literally thousands of people who saw the planes hit the WTC? Did David Blaine or the Mindfucker pull one over on us?

Camera angles and video footage can be misleading - as the various shots of the second plane hitting the WTC shows. Simply being at another angle hid the plane from view on one shot. None of us are experts, although we all like to play Sherlock Holmes and read what we want into blurry .jpg's.

LH,

"What I see (not very distinctly) in those videos is what appears to be a smallish, white aircraft of some kind, but not a huge airliner, and it's going level to the ground, and damn fast. It looks more like a cruise missile to me, which is what some eyewitnesses there on that day have said they both heard and saw. Others said they saw a Boeing 757. Others said they saw a small white plane."

1. did you take into account the fact that the camera "footage " you are looking at was NOT taken at the same frame rate that you ( probably ) played it back at? Cameras used for monitoring take 1 frame every 1/2 to several seconds, NOT the 24-32 frames per second of a normal video system.

2. The only mention of a cruise missle I have seen presented was of an individual who stated the PLANE came in LIKE a cruise missle, NOT that it WAS a cruise missle. Can you provide a link to any other mention?

In your latest referred icture, I can see a track across the grass - if not caused by the plane - which has to be your assumption so that you can get that 'angle' 'caused by the plane' - if not, what caused it.

Give it another look. The plane hit at about a 30 degree angle. Shouldn't have been a triangle there at all.

"American Airlines Flight 77, from Washington to Los Angeles, crashed into the Pentagon with 64 people aboard"

So for the conspiracy theorists to be right that this place DID NOT crash into the Pentagon, these people must be somewhere (alive or dead), or the US Govt got the plane to fly out to sea then shot it down, where it was too deep to be recovered...

I don't know that the videos were synchronized. But that 'white streak' doesn't look like a 757 to me.

I watched the videos that Peace linked to, and played them over and over. There are two scenes- same scene but one is from farther away.

In the upper video this is the sequence:

Police car going through intersection at 2:04 on the video clock
There is a white streak traveling from right to left at 1:42
(Adding to the confusion a car races past the building at :25.)

In the lower video this is the sequence:

Police car in intersection: 3:11
Streak: 2:56

I don't understand the discrepancy of time: 22 seconds versus 15 seconds. Even allowing for camera speed differences, that seems over-much. Anyone have any ideas?

NOTE: It definitely appears that the streak is traveling directly at the spot where, less than a heartbeat later, there is a tremendous explosion.

On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch, now Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company.

Power was quoted as saying "At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now"

http://prisonplanet.com/Pages/Jul05/160705web_of_deceit.html

Government-sponsored terrorism works. The Blair crowd saw Bush/Cheney getting away with 9/11, so they staged the London thing to get the Brits to give up more rights. The "authorities" DO the job, then we run to them and ask them to protect us.

And now, Homeland Security czar Michael Chertoff is saying Americans haven't traded enough liberty for security, and he has a 'gut feeling' we're going to be attacked again. They're setting up ANOTHER event and pre-conditioning you to think the attack is a result of you not giving your freedoms to the government.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Odd. What I see (not very distinctly) in those videos is what appears to be a smallish, white aircraft of some kind, but not a huge airliner, and it's going level to the ground, and damn fast. It looks more like a cruise missile to me, which is what some eyewitnesses there on that day have said they both heard and saw. Others said they saw a Boeing 757. Others said they saw a small white plane. The French author, Thierry Meyssan, who wrote that book "The Big Lie" thinks it was a military cruise missile, fired by someone in the American defense establishment.

I went cruising around on the Net and found this article Robbins' article attacking the French author by James S. Robbins of the National Review. He disagrees extremely with Thierry Meyssan and says he was there on that day and saw the 757 dive on the building. In his words:

"I went back to my office around 9:20. A short time later a friend of mine called, an Air Force officer, and we spoke awhile about the strikes in New York. I was standing, looking out my large office window, which faces west and from six stories up has a commanding view of the Potomac and the Virginia heights. (When I hired on my boss said we had the best view in town. True, most days.) The Pentagon is about a mile and half distant in the center of the tableau. I was looking directly at it when the aircraft struck. The sight of the 757 diving in at an unrecoverable angle is frozen in my memory, but at the time, I did not immediately comprehend what I was witnessing. There was a silvery flash, an explosion, and a dark, mushroom shaped cloud rose over the building. I froze, gaping for a second until the sound of the detonation, a sharp pop at that distance, shook me out of it.

Odd....because what shows in the video is not a
757 diving on the building, but what looks like a considerably smaller white vehicle flying low and dead level, just above the ground, straight into the building.

The government story is that the plane clipped several light poles in its descent, bounced off the lawn or slid across the lawn, and slammed into the building.

But photos of the damage before the fire department even arrived show no damage at all to the lawn, no debris on the lawn, and no 757 sized marks of damage to the outer face of the building...no evidence of the wings or tail striking the building...no evidence of the heavy, wing-mounted engines striking the building.

The damage to the building shown by photos taken on that day before the fires caused the roof to fall in is consistent with the kind of damage that would be done by a bunker-penetrating cruise missile. It's a single hole, such as would be made by such a missile. A 757 would have made a central hole where the fuselage hit, a large hole on either side where each engine struck, and some large extended areas of damage to either side where the wings struck, and some additional damage above the central hole where the tail struck. But what did we have? Just the central hole, period, as would be made by a cruise missile or a much smaller airframe than that of a 757.

So who is lying here? Or who is misconstruing what happened? Is there any way for you or I to know who is lying? Not really. Lies are often told. (Remember the great one about the babies being removed from incubators and left to die by Saddam's "fiendish" soldiers in Kuwait City? It was an eyewitness report by a personable young woman who wept as she told it. Totally convincing. Everyone believed it. It got the American public onside to support the Gulf War in 1991. But it turned out to be a totally fabricated lie, crafted to sway public opinion. She was a good actor.)   

So we have no way of knowing who is lying. We have to go on faith. But at least we do have some pictures taken by the media and by satellite on that day, both immediately after the explosion and some time later, and they might indicate something, right? Those pictures do not indicate to me that a 757 hit either the Pentagon...or the lawn...on Sept 11th.

The whole thing is extremely odd, to say the least.

Do I have a final conclusion about it? No. But it's odd.

My issue with the video is that the object entering from the right at 24 or 25 seconds into the video doesn't at all look big enough to be a 757.

Interesting video. Far from corroborating what the text on that web site says, if you click on the "VIDEO CAMERA 1 wmv file" (which calls up Windows Media Player) and then you maximize the screen, at about 1:26 into the video, you can see what appears to be the nose of an airliner-size aircraft skimming just above the ground and heading straight for the side of the building.

Maximizing the screen makes it a bit blurry, but using Windows Media Player also makes it possible to pause the video, back it up a few seconds and play it again. Which I have just done, several times. There is definitely an aircraft, on a collision course with the side of the building. Since the video is a series of "freeze frames" (typical for a security camera), the next frame shows the explosion of impact.

With only the forward section of the plane in the single frame, it's impossible to identify it as specifically a Boeing 757-200. But there is definitely something that looks like an airliner heading toward the building.

If you don't think it's there, look again!

Also, in follow-up photographs (some of which have been posted on this thread), there is a substantial amount of aircraft debris scattered about where one would expect to find it:    inside the building. Heavier parts, such as engines and landing gear in more or less one piece, but also bits and pieces of fuselage and wings, an engine cowling, various other twisted bits of debris. But that would be expected. When an airliner piles into the side of a building, it doesn't leave much of the plane intact.

I once worked at Boeing (engineering support) and I know how these things are put together.

Falling masses, don't travel "at speed", they accelerate with the rate of acceleration due to gravity.
