911 Pentagon Video Footage

[The Silver Thong]

Why? President Clinton made it known that one of his regrets was not getting Osama bin Laden.

Check your military history. General Franks thought that Afghan forces could have captured Osama bin Laden, but he thought wrong. I knew he made a bad decision to rely on Afghan foreces to capture bin Laden and I was correct in my assessment. It was a mistake on the part of General Franks, not the CIA nor President Bush..

Clinton didn`t kill him because Osama still had a job to do. Believe your propaganda dude but really.

What in the post is incoherent?

[skyeagle409]

You fail to grasp the basic concepts of a 'secret'. Maybe you just choose to ignore/deny it.

It is a matter of reality, and remember, we are not talking Hollywood fiction.

To say a 757 can't be modified a certain way, or that it can't be done secretly....is pure nonsense.

How are you going to modify a B-757 in such a way and not attract a lot of attention? If you add a camera to the fuselage, the pilots will notice the camera on their pre-flight inspection. If you modify the avionics in such a way, the pilots will notice during their system checks. How are you going to integrate that modification with the auto-throttle, autopilot, FMC, FD, and other systems that cannot be detected by the pilots during their preflight system checks?

You think a project can't be done in secret for modifying a 757, but building advanced spy planes from nearly scratch can be done in total secret??

First of all, the B-757s and B-767s used in 9/11 attacks were not secret aircraft, they were properties of American Airlines and United Airlines. Secondly, there was no way to modify those particular aircraft and not attract attention. If you acquire a B-757, that will leave a paper trail that can be tracked. Remember, only a certain number of B-757-200 series aircraft were built.

Did you really think that American Airlines and United Airlines would have grounded its aircraft for many months for the purpose of allowing the government to illegally modify their airliners? The airlines lose a lot of money whenever their aircraft are sitting on the ground. A typical B-767 can crisscross the United States up to 18 times per week.

Do you think they can build a 757 from scratch, at least a reasonable fake one? They surely can. So it's a secret 757.

There is no way the government could have built a B-757 from scratch. Where do think the government acquires its secret aircraft, alignment fixtures, equipment, parts, engines, APUs, etc? Private companies. If you want to see what it takes to build a large aircraft, visit the the Boeing Aircraft Co. facilities in Washington and understand what it takes to build large aircraft.

You have just highlighted how much you don't know on the way we do things in the real world of aviation.

This was very do-able - and they did it. .

From where does the government acquires its parts? Who builds secret aircraft for the government? Is the Boeing Aircraft company a government agency? No. Is Lockheed-Martin a government agency? No. The secret stealth fighter was not built by the government, it was built by the Lockheed Aircraft Co. The B-2 stealth bomber was not built by the government, it was built by Northrup Grumman. The government issued the contracts and did not build those aircraft. In fact, military aircraft, secret or otherwise, are not built by the government.

Let's take a look at the super-secret X-37. Who designed and built the secret spacecraft?

X-37B: US launches super-secret, orbiting, robotic plane

The X-37B is designed to stay in space as long as nine months and to collect electronic signals of all kinds in a way that other countries can't stop. The Air Force is not commenting on its mission.

Boeing was the prime contractor for the secret spacecraft, not the government. You've got the wrong idea as far as the government's role and secret aircraft are concerned.

How are you going to integrate that modification with the auto-throttle, autopilot, FMC, FD, and other systems that cannot be detected by the pilots during their preflight system checks?

The additional features don't have any affect on their standard system checks. Do you know about electronics, its apllications re: variable circuitry, and so on? Do you know how easy it is to hide something in an aircraft when you have unlimited access to it? And we are also talking about small electronic components here, It's not exactly like trying to hide an 800 lb. gorilla! It's all very do-able.

All sorts of paper trails are kept in secret. Look at the JFK paper trail - the government has sealed it until 2038. Do you wonder why it would take them 75 years!! before releasing it to the public?! Hmm...

There is no way the government could have built a B-757 from scratch. Where do think the government acquires its secret aircraft, alignment fixtures, equipment, parts, engines, APUs, etc?

The contractors don't need to know what the parts are being used for. They just build, say, an engine to certain specs, and ship it off. The contractor isn't concerned with what happens to the engine after that point. No. They only care about being paid for it. Period.

That doesn't work in the real world. Simply making things up and not in tuned to the way things are done simple highlights your lack of knowledge on that way things are done.

...Do you know about electronics, its apllications re: variable circuitry, and so on?

Yes, and why I have said what I did?

...Do you know how easy it is to hide something in an aircraft when you have unlimited access to it? And we are also talking about small electronic components here, It's not exactly like trying to hide an 800 lb. gorilla! It's all very do-able.

First of all, when electronics are added, wiring and mounting brackets must be installed and that requires a lot of drilling and hardware and attachments. Next, you have to find a way to integrate a new system into the current system. We are not talking about the old B-720s. Do you know how long it took to wire and modify a single C-5 in regards to new avionics?

The seventy-ninth and final C-5 Galaxy aircraft modified under the Avionics Modernization Program, or AMP, was re-delivered to the US Air Force in ceremonies at Travis AFB, California, on 27 April 2012. AMP, the first part of a two-phase C-5 modernization effort, began in 1998 and incorporates a glass cockpit with digital avionics, a new mission computer and autopilot, and also includes air traffic management equipment.

The first aircraft to enter the RERP production line is a C-5B based at Dover AFB, Del. This aircraft, Air Force serial number 83-1285, was the first C-5B to come off the production line in 1985. Modernization of this first aircraft is expected to take 13 months. At rate production, the conversion time on future C-5s is expected to be reduced to eight months.

Now, what airline is going to allow its aircraft to be grounded for many weeks?

All sorts of paper trails are kept in secret.

Each aircraft contains thousands of parts that are manufactured by private companies across the United States and in many cases, from around the world and there is no way to manufacture a B-757 in secret. If you order parts, that will create a paper trail that investigative news reporters can follow.

Look at the JFK paper trail - the government has sealed it until 2038. Do you wonder why it would take them 75 years!! before releasing it to the public?! Hmm...

But, we are not talking about JFK, we are talking about aircraft. Black projects known as the 'Bird of Prey; 'Have Blue' and 'Tacit Blue' are no longer secret aircraft and those aircraft were not manufacture by the government either. Tacit Blue was manufactured by Northrup, and 'Have Blue' was manufactured by Lockheed, while the 'Bird of Prey' was manufactured by Boeing, and they are not government agencies.

Any such project can be kept a secret from the public, and many have been. No matter where they get their parts from,

Once again, there was no way to manufacture a B-757 in secret and in many cases, there is only one source that manufactures certain parts for a B-757. Where are you going to get the engines? Where are you going to get the APU? Who is going to manufacture the formers, longerons, stringers, spars and wing assemblies? Who is going to supply the alignment fixtures? Who is going to supply the electronics, tubing, cable assemblies, brackets, vertical and horizontal fins and control surfaces, flaps, avionics, and landing gears? Just a few of the thousands of individual parts that are manufactured by private companies across the country and around that world.

Looking at the manufacturer's record books and shipping information, an investigative news reporter can track down those parts.

If you manufacture those aircraft, how are you going to switch those aircraft with American 77 and United 93?

The contractors don't need to know what the parts are being used for. They just build, say, an engine to certain specs, and ship it off.

Oops, you have just created a paper trail beause aA lot of paperwork is generated in the manufacture of parts along with shipping paperwork.

The contractor isn't concerned with what happens to the engine after that point. No. They only care about being paid for it. Period.

Where did you get that idea? An engine manufacturer will keep track of every engine it manufactures and of course, each engine will have its own unique serial number for record purposes as well. Yes, each engine and its components have their own individual serial numbers as unique as the license plate on your vehicle and such information can be used by investigative news reporters for tracking purposes as well.

I heard that!! I have visited some of those CT websites and was amazed at the scope of disinformation and misinformation they are spewing. They have made claims that I knew doesn't happen in the real world of aviation. Happy New Year and save me some of that Texas BBQ.

[+Liquid Gardens]

That’s where I think Kludge and LG get confused – between which parts of the theory are evidence and which are speculation. We are all working to the same evidence and broad conclusions that come of it, only having different solutions in the underlying detail where evidence is lacking – which as I mentioned, given the lack of investigation we decry, is not so important. On the other hand, I don’t think that OCTs have the right to speculate for a second – too many lives depended on it.

The last sentence has nothing to do with anything, you've mentioned it many times and I still have trouble not seeing it as a plea to fudge a little in favor of your theory, to lower the bar and bend over backwards for it. And I don't understand why this doesn't work both ways, since a 'civil war' is the consequence of your efforts, which was part of the reason the experts who know of the blatant demolition are silent.

You're on the right track with the rest of it though, but what we are talking about is the mass of differing CTs, not just your theory and categorization of data points. What is evidence, speculation, and conclusion is subjective for everyone working from the same set of data, and the point is, as socrates reiterated well, CTs have come up with widely disparate theories from this data, and the OCT is not that disparate. You may believe that drone aircraft were involved because you believe it was a false flag, but other CTs are free to reverse it, they may believe that there is no way Hani could have pulled off that maneuver (evidence), thus a drone were required (conclusion), thus it was a false flag (conclusion).

This quote from earlier might help clarify the point, "All MIHOPers are unified in the belief that the evidence, and/or lack of, indicates the attack was not carried out by bin Laden/Al Qaeda but elements within the U.S. We all are unified in the end that evidence of the OCT is lacking. And that’s the main point – so really how significant are disagreements in the detail? ". The significance is that if the CT's case was as strong as it is sometimes asserted, we shouldn't expect such variety with significant number of CTists championing them. Maybe 'significance' isn't the best word to use, it implies political topics, let's try just magnitude. The OCTists probably do differ on how the blame apportions out to the various AQ parties involved for instance, we aren't privy to all that communication that occurred, but how it is apportioned does not seem to me to be of the 'magnitude' of whether a plane struck the Pentagon. If Osama was hardly involved, does that evidence point really require as much explanation and supporting evidence as the questions of "where is Flight 77?", "where are the passengers?", "who really are the eyewitnesses and why are they lying?", "what really hit the Pentagon?", "how many more conspirators are required to pull this deception off?"? The explanations for all these questions are part and parcel of the veracity of that CTists' CT; the fact that he can fall back to Q's admittedly more reasonable position and still be a believer in the overall MIHOP is noted but I think kinda kludge's point. A lot of CTs which have great differences in detail can comfortably coexist, an observation whose possible explanation is that the evidence and reasoning being used to arrive at CTs are not as founded as sometimes sold.

In all fairness part of this might just be definitional, we could look at it from the standpoint that the OCT is a fairly concise, defined theory on it's own so by definition it wouldn't have that much variety. But I have trouble thinking of possible OCT scenarios that would again include data points as large and requiring as much explanation as whether a plane hit the Pentagon (maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the demolitions, I had assumed there were some MIHOPs who still may not believe in a demolition, but that may actually be a very small number). I don't think the fact that the MIHOP theory is so malleable is an evidence point in it's favor, as I'm sure I've mentioned I think that malleability is a byproduct of not having any good direct evidence to confine it. Is there really any piece of it that must be, is it still a CT if Cheney knew nothing about it? If there was no demolition? The OCT is called into serious question if we had good evidence of anyone in the government who was involved in the plot; the MIHOP CTs are nearly invulnerable in comparison to the OCT as far as the OCT's fragility to potential contrary evidence, merely by it having a relatively concise definition.

[Q24]

The last sentence has nothing to do with anything, you've mentioned it many times and I still have trouble not seeing it as a plea to fudge a little in favor of your theory, to lower the bar and bend over backwards for it. And I don't understand why this doesn't work both ways, since a 'civil war' is the consequence of your efforts, which was part of the reason the experts who know of the blatant demolition are silent.

I wouldn’t word it that way, and I certainly wouldn’t expect anyone to bend over backwards, but you are not so far off when you say, “to lower the bar”. At least, the results brought about through each theory require different standards. Of course I accept this different standard when I say that I can afford to speculate but you never can. Absolutely war (result of the OCT) should require a higher standard of evidence than does investigation (result of MIHOP). In calling for further investigation, in the meanwhile speculation is justified – it’s an acceptance that we do not have all of the facts, and the investigation would solve that. In accepting the story that propped up a war, there is no justification for speculation, especially in the most vital areas (see further below regarding ‘responsibility’) that form very basis for the war.

Also I need to clear up that I actually said “political civil war” was the potential worst consequence of our efforts. I probably confused the issue by making rhetorical use of the word “bloody”, sorry about that. I was not implying a civil war of lethal force, but of politics, and certainly nothing on the level of say, Afghanistan or Iraq which the OCT led to.

Thank you for the thoughts in the rest of your post. All I would like to comment, is that there is no question of greater magnitude than who was responsible for the 9/11 attack – so much hinges on it, including the subsequent response, which is one of the most significant points of all. The OCT is unable to pin the tail squarely on either of the donkeys – bin Laden or KSM – so how do we know either were responsible at all? Without a clear answer, the whole basis of the OCT and subsequent war falls apart. Logic dictates that Atta and the hijackers should be held most accountable according to the OCT, but then we need to understand the background and surrounding circumstances to Atta and the hijackers (hint: it is not what might be expected of Jihadists, rather an intelligence driven operation).

To my mind, questions of internal disagreement in the MIHOP camp, for example whether a plane hit the Pentagon or not, pale in significance to the above – we still all concur that there is insufficient evidence that Hanjour was in charge of the aircraft, and that brings us back to the most important question of responsibility, where again, those calling for investigation can afford to speculate, whilst those accepting the OCT cannot.

Bin Laden Claims Responsibility for 9/11

Usama bin Laden (search ) made his first televised appearance in more than a year Friday in which he admitted for the first time ordering the Sept. 11 attacks and accused President Bush of "misleading" the American people.

Injecting himself into the campaign four days ahead of the presidential election, bin Laden said the United States can avoid another Sept. 11-style attack if it stops threatening the security of Muslims.

In regards to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed;

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

After seeing the respect that his nephew Ramzi Yousef had gained from the World Trade Center 1993 bombings, Mohammed decided to engage more directly in anti-U.S. activities as well. He traveled to the Philippines in 1994 to work with Yousef on the Bojinka plot, a Manila-based plot to destroy twelve commercial airliners flying routes between the United States, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. The 9/11 Commission Report says that "this marked the first time KSM took part in the actual planning of a terrorist operation

Echoes of '95 Manila Plot

The airline bombing plot that British officials said they disrupted Thursday bears striking similarities to a 1995 plot hatched by Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and his nephew, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, in the Philippines.

You assume the investigators are honest, and innocent of any involvement.

Anyone who has worked around aircraft would know that there are all kinds of serial and/or part numbers listed on each part of an aircraft, including individual electrical wires and wire bundles, tubing and cable assemblies, formers, stringers, longerons, landing gear assemblies, skin and access panels, etc. Those numbers can be used to identify individual aircraft models and time sensitive replacement numbers can be used to identify a particular aircraft.

With those numbers in my file cabinet, I had the ability to track individual aircraft anywhere in the world.

In reality, my argument is right on the mark.

Hijacking a US airliner flown by ex USAF pilots is a bit different.

Looking at the flight profiles of the 911 airliners after the autopilots were discounted show the airliners were not flown by experienced air force pilots. Did I say, "autopilots were disconnected?" That simply means those aircraft were not flown under remote control by experienced air force pilots. What better way to bring instant attention to ATC personnel than to turn off the transponder and change heading and altitude in positive control airspace without permission.

This just in!!

EARLY 1996: The CIA’s Counter Terrorism Center creates a special unit focusing specifically on bin Laden

In early 1996, the CIA set up a special bin Laden unit, largely because of evidence linking him to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. At the time, he was living in Sudan, but he was expelled from that country in May 1996 after the CIA failed to persuade the Saudis to accept a Sudanese offer to turn him over.

AUGUST 20 1998: Clinton orders missile attack in Sudan, narrowly misses Bin Laden

“The most dramatic attempt to kill bin Laden occurred in August 1998, when Clinton ordered a Tomahawk cruise missile attack on bin Laden’s suspected training camps in Afghanistan in response to the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania… Clinton approved the cruise missile attack recommended by his advisers, and on Aug. 20, 1998, 66 cruise missiles rained down on the training camps.

An additional 13 missiles were fired at a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan that the Clinton administration believed was a chemical weapons factory associated with bin Laden.”

LATE 1998: Clinton authorizes covert action against Bin Laden and al Qaeda

In addition to a secret “finding” to authorize covert action, which has been reported before, Clinton signed three highly classified Memoranda of Notification expanding the available tools. In succession, the president authorized killing instead of capturing bin Laden, then added several of al Qaeda’s senior lieutenants, and finally approved the shooting down of private civilian aircraft on which they flew.

…The Clinton administration ordered the Navy to maintain two Los Angeles-class attack submarines on permanent station in the nearest available waters, enabling the U.S. military to place Tomahawk cruise missiles on any target in Afghanistan within about six hours of receiving the order.

Whether it was one video, five videos or no video, what did black box data, radar data, aircraft wreckage and damaged light poles and generator depict? What did the distribution of wreckage inside and outside the Pentagon indicate?

Videos are not required and in many cases regarding aircraft accidents, videos are not even available, so what methods are used to determine the cause of an aircraft accident when videos are not available? We have videos of American 11 striking WTC1 and United 175 striking WTC2 and yet, there are 911 conspiracist claiming that no aircraft struck WTC1 and WTC2.
