FAA voice recordings and written records say the “crash” was 300 yards from the airport. Topographic maps of the area show shallow waters there. They were close to shore and could have made it to shore very quickly, as you say, but it wasn’t in the script. We were all supposed to think it was 1/2 mile out, so the FBI (under the control of AG Eric Holder, whose wife hung out on Maui while the coroner was deciding what to say in the “autopsy” of whatever was drudged up with the infant life vest that Fuddy had NOT worn...) would be in charge of any death investigation and had discretion to refuse to investigate.
It was all a con. The question right now is whether anybody is willing to report just how big and bad a con it really was. We refuse to listen at our own peril. Do we have ANY truthful media left - any place where evidence is sifted and the truth revealed? That remains to be seen. If not, then kiss the country goodbye forever.
