Barbara Olson, a conservative commentator and lawyer, wasn't panicked when hijackers took over her flight on Sept. 11, 2001, from Washington Dulles airport to Los Angeles, where she was heading for an appearance on Bill Maher's TV show.
She managed to call her solicitor general husband, Ted Olson, twice from the back of the plane where the terrorists, armed with knives and box cutters, herded the passengers. She reported the hijacking aboard American Airlines Flight 77 and asked what she could convey to the captain.

So-called "conspiracy theories" don't always have every detail down pat, but that shouldn't necessarily be their responsibility before explaining any reasonable evidence they may have learned.
Liars in government positions have many decades of experimentation and observations about how people can be fooled as what they might have seen or how they can be led to certain beliefs that are untrue.
Conspiracy is the Deep State's modus operandi and the disproportionate ridicule and negative reactions their minions have carried on about researchers and others "onto them" should begin to suggest for whom they are working.
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” – William Casey, CIA Director (from first staff meeting, 1981)
Given the government track record and pre-disposition to cover themselves from public scrutiny, no one should give a potentially suspicious government narrative the benefit of any doubt.
Your entry on 10/1/2001 seems quite coincidental to 9/11, eh?
It was so long ago and my memory begins to fail me but I do remember Barbara was scheduled to appear on some tv panel that day or the next to promote her new book. In a class move that program left an empty seat at the panel table in memory of her.
And you make my small personal sacrifice insignificant by your gross ignorance.
I do know the Jersey Devil AF base in South Jersey were in the air. Watched them fly over the school where I taught. A vet who worked as a custodian noted they had missiles attached. They were the only planes in the air for the next week.
God bless you.......when I heard BKO was on the Pentagon flight I felt the pain of that day all over again. Every time I watch Cheers/Frasier I see David Angel’s name. The pain doesn’t lessen when I think of all the others that died that day....so helpless, pleading, jumping or trying to overtake an airplane. So many heroes on that day and we will never forget and we should honor those lost everyday as well as the anniversary of that day of EVIL PERSONIFIED!
Bump.

Unless one spends individual time researching the evidence surrounding the many government ruses, one may well tend to believe that which the government says. Low-information voters can't be bothered of course. Neither can those professionally and/or financially invested in government income streams that may be coming their way, directly or indirectly.
Anyone watching the SOJ/FBI in the last many years should realized their institutional animus to the Constitution and the American citizenry, particularly conservatives.
Since all should be able to see these things, why aren't we all casting jaundiced eyes at everything that government and the mainstream media foist our direction?

Barksdale AFB in Louisiana was already on high alert with previously scheduled maneuvers that fateful day. This is why it was designated as GWB’s first stop after departing Sarasota FL 9/11.
Impossible. I joined FR in 2001, and there was no FR in 1981. You need to check your math.
Yes, my math and fingers, thanks! I was with the group when it was still called the Whitewater report. I believe it was ‘97.

And you think that 2001 - 1999 > 20? smh
I think you’re delusional.
“Those several large explosions did happen. They also blew out windows, which is seen on videos, as were many witnesses who attested to those facts.”
Point me to them on one of the videos of the building before it fell.
And, just as a afterthought, when did they plant all these charges and where are the witnesses to the guys running into a burning building to set the charges?
Politically Incorrect?
He's been married four times...twice before he'd married Barbara. Looks like he found love plenty of times.
Olson is an anti-Trumper.
RIP Barbara Olson.
Ted Olson may have married a conservative commentator, but he is a Bush Republican at best, and a committed supporter of gay marriage. He also represented the DACA recipients when Trump’s admin tried to rescind the program.
I'm not following your logic. What part chapped your ass so badly—that he was military, that he helped the Pentagon recovery, or that he wanted to study theology?
