It should occur to everyone that four and a half years is plenty of time to dub up some "special effects." As with ALL public releases having to do with this "administration," the timing is highly suspect. I'm not one of those who subscribe to the "missile hit the Pentagon" theory, but I don't think a 757 did, either...

Yeah, I had heard some months back that this was going to happen, and of course, the big question is, why wait almost five years to show the recently renovated portion of the Pentagram getting hit?
And why were those intial frames that were released so obtuse and elusive, along with the incorrect date on the bottom? They didn't stop showing footage of the towers being hit over fear of offending the public's sensibilities, that's nonsense; they routinely manipulate and exploit the public's sensibilities. No, they stopped showing it on cable "news" because there are anomalies within that footage that doesn't jive with the official version of events.
Irregardless of what hit the Pentagram, there remains numerous red flags re 9/11 that no one wants to touch.

C'mon guys, let's give the government some credit...After all, that kind of tediuos photoshopping isn't easy. I'm sure it took at least three years. Of course, after all that hard work they wanted to hold onto the video until just the right moment for release. Say...just prior to news of a Karl Rove indictment perhaps?
And of course they didn't want to influence the Moussaui trial. After all, they exhibited such judicious restraint with those 911 emergency call tapes and victims' families testimonies.
Geez you all sound so, so, so, I don't know, angry, perhaps?

Woah, I came in here intending to post something
expressing pre-emptivce skepticism about the video's
veracity, thought I'd be way out in left field. I don't
claim to know what happened at the Pentagon, because
the information is just not available, but I'm not prepared
to rule out any of the theories yet.

:crazy: Well Im not sure what to think NOW, untill I can actually see this for real, especially after watching CONFRONTING THE EVIDENCE: A CALL TO REOPEN THE 9/11 INVESTIGATION., (that had me totally questioning EVERYTHING this administration ever told was the truth, so I will remain as calm as possible till I see this then We can see if it can clear anything up for the millions of confused Americans.
The person that posted earlier are right though about this administration they are capable of anything.... .....Doctoring....ect.. If you want to see the CONFRONTING DVD special you can get a free copy of the dvd at the site: http://reopen911.org/index.htm or watch it at:

I'm certainly angry about it, but I'm also very puzzled.
If 9/11 is SUCH a cut-and-dried case, why are we unable to get all the answers?
If 9/11 is pure fact and not fiction, why are the facts pointing more towards an alternate scenario than the ones we have been presented with?
I guess we must accept that we WERE attacked, no matter whom or how.
What should matter is how we have HANDLED this attack since.
1.) We've not caught the perpetrator, because we would have heard about it.
2.) Our administration in their infinite arrogance deflected our righteous anger against the perpetrator and spuriously attacked a dictator of another country that had nothing to do with this crime.
3.) We have let the shadow of terrorism forever erode our civil liberties and nearly destroyed the very fabric of who we are as a people.
Luckily Americans have a deep-seeded distrust and disdain for government, so while it may take us some time, we eventually throw the bums out.
We know we were attacked, it doesn't matter right now who did it and why. What should matter to us now, is our response. And we MUST make the response clear in November if we have any hopes in turning back this blood-red tide of paranoia and fear.
Do I hear an "Amen!", brothers and sisters?

This had better be good. It better demonstrate how the plane hit flying only about 20' above the pristine lawn, how it burrowed through 3 concrete reinforced rings, how it only left a 16' hole, how the wings, tail and 2 nine-foot diameter engines obliterated into microscopic fragments. The plane better be white and not gray, since that piece of scrap (photgraphed in about 5 different places) was white with a red A on it.
If it's not crystal clear what happened, it won't change a thing.

On another blog the question arose, "How could a Boeing 727 (737?) plane make only a 12-foot wide crater in the Pentagon wall on both entry and departure?" Answer given: "The wings folded against the fuselage on impact."
Question: "Assuming this happened, and the width of the two wings were added to the width of the fuselage from that point backward, would this come to only 12 feet?" Seems to me it would be 20 feet, at least.

Sounds like it's a ruse. Just watched Pete Williams on MSNBC saying that all you're going to see is a "different angle" of those same still photos that were released earlier on - and of course ZERO mention of that incorrect date (Sept 12th!) at the bottom - and that you can see "the tip of the plane," but, he said, and this is revealing, probably not enough to satisfy those "conspiracy theorists."
Uh-huh. Exactly. Guess we'll wait and see...

As sad as it is to read the continual pro-terrorist, anti American discussion, it ensures my parties domination of American government.

I've been trying to think what Carl Rove would do to try
to do the most damage to the 911truthists.
And I'm wondering if releasing a fakey-looking video of
flight 77 would serve his interests: All the truthists would
get on board saying the video was fakey, and then the
Bushcists could say "See, that eholr bunch of loonies
thinks the Pentagon was hit with a missile!"

Go fuck yourself Ricky. And then read Paul Thompson's Timeline, and David Ray Griffin's two books on the subject. And then ask yourself: why did the Commission not address so many things, including the towers' central steel columns, the PNAC, Larry Silverstein's admission of "pulling" tower #7, and in fact, the Commission never even mentions tower #7 - a 47 story skyscraper collapses, the owner admits it was "pulled" on camera, and they don't mention it once in their findings. 9/11 was a false flag psyop needed as the required justification for further expansion of empire which necessitates rolling back civil liberties.
And forget about dems - why are members of former REPUBLICAN admin's lending their names to the 9/11 Truth Movement?

Jeff, the Truth Movement isn't about trying to prove what happened, it's about revealing omissions and implausibilities within the "official" version. And where there are lies and omissions, there is a cover up. Where there's a cover up, someone is lying. From there, it's the classic question of motive: who benefits, and why?
I'm unsure of what hit the Pentagram, although I fail to see how the enormous wing and tail span of a 757 could not leave impressions in the wall - which, before the roof collapsed later, had only a 16 ft wide hole in it.

CNN just aired it. They tried their damndest to tell viewers that they were seeing an aircraft hit the building, but in fact, the video showed no plane.
Jamie McIntyre was on hand to tell viewers that he was there that day and took pictures of the cockpit, pieces of the plane - etc. - but it was all a lie.
The video showed no plane.

Raytheon and 9/11
2001-09-11 Stanley Hall Raytheon Director of Electronic warfare program management. Raytheon did the retrofit of the A-3 that hit the Pentagon, where Bush claimed Flight 77 hit it. Disappeared on American airlines Flight 77, the one that supposedly hit the Pentagon but did not.
2001-09-11 Peter Gay Raytheon VP of Electronic Systems on special assignment at the El Segundo, CA division office where the Global Hawk UAV remote control system is made. Raytheon did the retrofit of the A-3 that hit the Pentagon, where Bush claimed Flight 77 hit it. Disappeared on American airlines Flight 11, the one that supposedly hit the North World Trade Tower I.
2001-09-11 Kenneth Waldie Raytheon Senior Quality Control for Electronic Systems. Raytheon did the retrofit of the A-3 that hit the Pentagon, where Bush claimed Flight 77 hit it. Disappeared on American airlines Flight 11, the one that supposedly hit the North World Trade Tower I.
2001-09-11 David Kovalcin Raytheon Senior Mechanical Engineer for Electronic Systems. Raytheon did the retrofit of the A-3 that hit the Pentagon, where Bush claimed Flight 77 hit it. Disappeared on American airlines Flight 11, the one that supposedly hit the North World Trade Tower I.
2001-09-11 Herbert Homer Raytheon Corporate Executive working with the Department of Defense. Raytheon did the retrofit of the A-3 that hit the Pentagon, where Bush claimed Flight 77 hit it. Disappeared on United airlines Flight 175, the one that supposedly hit the South World Trade Tower II.
These are not only the type of people but they are the people that would be assigned to UAV type projects involving Mode 4 and Mode 5 upgrades. Why would they be in Boston and those planes coming from that direction and from north of Manhattan Island?
That 16 foot tunnel through three rings of the Pentagon is only made by a directional blast weapon. Rumsfeld has even slipped up and mentioned the missile that hit the Pentagon.
Some have seen the Pentagon parking lot camera video and the white trail of smoke. Jets do now leave white trails of smoke at sea level, but Thiokol powered AGMs do, at all attitudes.

I just saw the "video" myself, and the CNN reporter just now said something that I wonder if anyone else caught.
She said it looked as though the plane hit the wall straight-on. It did not touch the ground; it did not drop from above at any kind of angle.
We're talking about piloting a rather large piece of aircraft such that it is able to smash into an area above the ground, yet not damage the roof. That can't be more than a 20-30 foot high target!
There is no way someone could "pilot" a commercial jetliner to just that exact spot. Especially not someone who supposedly came from Saudi Arabia and trained to fly jets.
He would have had to be a "Top Gun" at Miramar to pull off this amazing feat.
And I assure you, Miramar screens applicants better than anyone in the world.

Jeff,
Please refer to the website
http://911research.wtc7....essays/pentagontrap.html
for a better understanding of where we whackos are coming from. I don't know what happened to Flight 77. It probably hit the Pentagon. But there really are many unanswered questions from that day. The biggest question for me is the collapse of WTC7. See
http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/attack/wtc7.html
and please do watch the available videos of the collapse at that link.
This website I am referring you to really does seem to have the most balanced perspective regarding the questions and the inconsistencies. It is hard to ask these questions. But to ignore them would be irreprehensible. Ricky's response is like many other peoples. I can only respond with "Thou doth protest too much."
I do want to say that questioning the official version of what happened was a gradual process for me. There is so much crap and disinformation out there discrediting those who have legitimate questions. Just refer to the family steering committee and they're questions.
This is a difficult topic. I understand your skepticism.

I have heard a number of times that Valerie Plame Wilson was working on WMD matters in the Middle East, and a couple of times I heard that she succeeded in stopping a shipment of something that was likely on its way to be the plant in Iraq.
Their numbers are so low that we can expect all manner of irritating and awful things to come from them now, including finally "finding" WMD in Iraq, including saying they're releasing proof of a plane hitting the Pentagon which isn't proof of a plane hitting the Pentagon. They know that just SAYING this stuff makes many, many people believe it.
Ricky, no typos today, and actual sentences in English. Have you been doing your English homework? Good boy.

where is the gas station video, or the hotel video, or the 3 videos from the dept of transportation on the highway. if they show nothing then why not release them. once again we are given the minimum info that had to be obtained through a law suit. think about that......the American people had to sue our gov't just to get this minimal info. All this video shows me is we will never see any of the real footage and will just have to settle for the minimum. To answer what happened to the passengers is to assume that we think like people who would do this. The proof of a cover-up is simple. Condoleezza Rice statement of how could we have known they would use planes as missiles is proof enough for me. If they didnt know it was a possibility why were they doing drills on hijacked planes hitting the pentagon and the wtc's.

More & more people are hearing about the conspiracy through this release & learning just how many normal American citizens believe there was one.
We are winning in that respect.

The gas station video is probably the best video and the government seized it. Sure, we all want to see it to know for sure it was a plane but who really thinks it's a wise idea to release such a video to the world showing a succesfull attack by Arab terrorists on the military headquarters of the United States of America?
Maybe someday in the future it will be OK to release the video but not while we are at war with these scumbags should we release a video showing their greatest achievement.
Think about it.

Nobody he sees the government's video can honestly claim that the "See" an aircraft. NOBODY.
That's a missile coming in at grasstop level.

Plunger,
If its a missile, who fired it and from where?
Also, where are the people who were on Flight 77?

Personally I think somebody's pet goat rammed into the Pentagon. At least that explains why there was no wreckage of an airplane found there. And, it's at least as reasonable as other explanations we've heard.
With Dubya in office we'll find all the details of 9/11 as soon a we find all the details of the Kennedy assassination.

They could easily splice together authentic video shot from the Sheraton, the parking lot, the gas station, the highway, and put together a good 15 - 20 minute demonstration that was irrefutable to 90% of any viewers, skeptical or not.
That they did not do that and threw us this instead speaks VOLUMES.
Anyone with any doubt left that 9/11 was an inside job is obviously constitutionally incapable of accepting reality.
What happened to the real Flight 77? Considering that the military jets were sent 150 miles out to the ocean before they turned around and headed west to "intercept" Flights 77 and 93, it's quite possible the real Flight 77 was shot down over the ocean.
Just like Flight 93 was shot down over PA.
Keep it simple. You don't need UFOs.

Jeff, the Bush administration has lied about so many things, and so consistently, that its credibility is forfeit. The issue isn't how badly a given terrorist hates the United States (most of the people who hate us are not terrorists, in fact), as you suggest. It's "Why doesn't the official explanation we've been given match the physical evidence?"
A Boeing jetliner crashes into the Pentagon just above ground level, piloted by someone who never flew such a plane before, makes perfect contact but leaves a 12-foot crater? Twin towers collapse in New York from damage near the top, which we're told by engineers has never happened before (heat rises), and a neighboring tower collapses without being hit. It doesn't make sense, and given that the Bush administration used this incident as grounds for invading a country it had already planned to invade (but without a ready excuse), who can blame anyone for being skeptical? It stinks to high heaven, and that's a fact, Jeff.
By framing the issue in "How awful are these terrorists?" terms, you simply echo the Bush administration's argument for invading Iraq. "We're at war (no we aren't)," "The enemy hates us (we didn't attack that enemy)," so, "Let's put common
sense and healthy skepticism on the shelf and go kill more people named Ahmad and Muhammad, because they want to kill us."
Oh, and don't question anything we do, even stuff that's against the law, because we're protecting you and we know best.

Your government just released a video tape showing a Thiokol Missile flying just inches off the deck on a perfectly horizontal trajectory into the Pentagon.
Do you confirm that your eyes saw that?

i not only think it's wise. i think it is an obligation. how can releasing this be any different from releasing an angle that actually show us something. it all tells the same story. Jeff i am glad that you are seeking answers, thats what got me started in my search. now it appears to me to be obvious that something much larger happened on 9/11. you should search: probabilitites of cell phone calls being made from a plane at 30,000ft, 9/11 eyewitness.com, PNAC group/ the grand chessboard, put options on airline stocks, the hijackers who are still alive, sibel edmonds...etc. I dont really know what happened on 9/11 but i do know there has been cosistent cover-up. Oh yeah where is osama bin laden. If we were to capture him, the American peolple would be satisfied and say let's end this war. So with him "on the loose" they can continue their new american century. as long as bin laden isnt caught we all have a common enemy.

How did 4 planes vaporize on one day, and 3 skyscrapers fall demolition-style in one day, and never before and never since? Did you check out professor Steve Jones writings, the physics professor from BYU?
Sure, you have one or two questions we can't answer, but we have over 100 questions.

I don't know how ANYONE can honestly believe that "fire and structural instability" caused WTC7 to collapse. Even the 911 Commission knew better than to try to support that claim. They didn't even touch on it in their investigation.
BYU physics professor Dr. Steven Jones pretty much debunks that whole fire and instability nonsense.
In case you're interested. Check out
http://www.physics.byu.e...esearch/energy/htm7.html
Quite frankly though, it is probably a waste of my time to even post these links. Some people just aren't ready to go there.
Personally, I think WTC7 is our grassy knoll of today. The next generation will be able to analyze the evidence much more dispassionately. I think it just hurts too much right now for most people. Too bad though. Understandable, but too bad.

Anyone left still willing to suspend the laws of physics to believe the official line about 9/11 should really use this link. It has more than enough factual information and lucid questions to insure anyone who wants to learn the truth can.

Popular Mechanics:
http://www.libertypost.o...readart.cgi?ArtNum=86989
Popular Mechanics magazine probably didn't worry about the ethical considerations of hiring a cousin of Michael Chertoff, a former Assistant Attorney General and the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as senior researcher.
But the March 2005 issue of Popular Mechanics (PM) plumbs new depths of nepotism and Hearst-style "yellow journalism" with its cover story about 9/11. PM's senior researcher, 25-year-old Benjamin Chertoff, authored a propagandistic cover story entitled "Debunking 9/11 Lies" which seeks to discredit all independent 9/11 research that challenges the official version of events.
DOV ZAKHEIM:
The CEO of Systems Planning's international division, Dov Zakheim, is a long-time DoD and Republican Party insider, and a founding member of the Neoconservative cult. While Bush was still Governor of Texas, Zakheim became one of his closest advisers, counseling him on defense technology and strategic aspects of Middle Eastern affairs. After the 2000 "election," Rummy rewarded Zakheim with a low-profile but strategically important position --- Comptroller, i.e. head money man, of the Defense Department.
Zakheim also co-authored the Heritage Foundation's infamous tract, "Rebuilding America's Defenses," in which the Bush Administration's entire design for renewed global conquest was laid down a full year prior to 9-11. On page 63, the authors note that timely implementation of their ideas would require "some catastrophic and catalyzing event --- like a new Pearl Harbor."
see for yourself:
http://www.newamericance...dingAmericasDefenses.pdf
Dov S. Zakheim was sworn in as the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Chief Financial Officer for the Department of Defense on May 4, 2001.
Left the Bush Administration in mid-2004 for Booz Allen.
How Does Zakheim Fit In ?
He helped mold the Mid-East policy, and controlled the Pentagon purse strings.
Thanks to him, Israel, and their militia (Turkey), are awash in F-15's, F-16's, and the latest in offensive and defensive missile systems. Israel has a space program, ICBM's, nukes, and lots more.
Zakheim, who is a dual Israeli/American citizen and a Shul Rabbi, has stalked the halls of US government for 25 yrs. He has set defense policy which influenced Presidents Reagan, Clinton and Bush Sr. and Jr. This rabid Zionist was the controller of the Pentagon when an audit discovered over a trillion dollars was missing.
Most of Israel's armament was obtained thanks to him. Squads of US F-16 and F-15 were classified as military surplus and sold to Israel at a fraction of their value.
Zakheim is a rabid Zionist, who carries an Israel passport and is considered to be one of the top members of the secretive Illuminati . He predicts 9/11 and by sheer coincidence the Pentagon is hit by a remote controlled jet (Zakheim's ' SPC ' corporation is the premier company in the field).
http://www.sysplan.com/Radar/FTS
During his tenure as controller at the Pentagon from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004, over one trillion dollars was unaccounted for.
Military information is jeopardized, military contractors billed the US for Israeli items, $50 million fighter jets are classified as surplus and the list goes on and on. As the scandal of the missing 3 trillion dollars surfaces the Rabbi quickly resigns.
Here's how it all came together:
http://www.informationcl...se.info/article11385.htm
Here's why:
On the day of the 9-11 attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what the attack would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was: "It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)"
AND LESS THAN ONE MONTH LATER:
On October 3, 2001, I.A.P. News reported that according to Israel Radio (in Hebrew) Kol Yisrael an acrimonious argument erupted during the Israeli cabinet weekly session last week between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his foreign Minister Shimon Peres. Peres warned Sharon that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and "turn the US against us. "Sharon reportedly yelled at Peres, saying "don't worry about American pressure, we the Jewish people control America."

I'll check out the videos but I've spent plenty of time since 9/11 looking at that kind of stuff.
To anyone who still doesn't understand why the government can't release the "good" video, see post #46 and think about it.
Then think again.
