And people you ironic, insensitive jerk!
But the lefties want a socialist NWO, not a "corporatist" NWO.
Or something like that. I dunno...
True.
But some freepers think that way in regards to the Clintons.
I wonder if this is actually more of a "mother" than the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories that have grown and mutated since the '60s. Actually, the only time I believed in the assassination conspiracy theories is when Dan Rather did a special on CBS to debunk them.
Anyone know if Oliver Stone is planning a 9-11 movie?
1. No photographic evidence of the War of 1812 exists.
2. Therefore, the War of 1812 never happened.
3. Anyone claiming that the War of 1812 happened has the duty to produce proof! Since nobody will come forward to do it, they must be covering something up.
4. Therefore, the Illuminati probably concocted the whole story, to cover up their great strike on the heart of Freemasonry at Washington, D.C.
Well, just for the record, he did not say that no photographic evidence exists of the plane strike on the Pentagon, he said that such evidence exists but is being suppressed.
There's a big difference, not that I'm taking his side or even agree with it (I don't).
Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian candidate in '04, espoused what you wrote. And then the libertarians wonder why they have stagnant growth in American politics.
They reported no evidence of any plane hitting the pentagon.
I was in Washington the day it happend and saw the pentagon just after the attack.
There is no way an airplane could have hit the pentagon as we were told.
We were told the aircraft...a Boeing jet flying 2 feet above the ground would have hit automobiles on the freeway just a few hundred yards from the pentagon.It would have made massive damage of the grass just in front of the pentagon.....guess what...no damage at all.
There would have been more damage (at least in 150 feet of the center of the impact zone) because of the wings hittig the building.Also the wings would have sheared right off and would have been left outside the pentagon.
If you look at the photographs of the pentagon after the impact, you will see reels of cable that were undamaged by the supposed impact of the Boeing Jet.THey would have been destroyed by an aircraft hitting the pentagon as we were told.
I don't know what happend to flight 77, but it did not hit the pentagon.
And don't bother trying to change my mind on this. There is nothing you can say or type that that will change my mind on this.
I was there shortly after and no way was this an aircraft hit.
If it was, have the government release the tapes of the cameras that video taped the whole incident.
They haven't and won't.
This is the problem I have with most conspiracy theories. You need so many people to pull them off properly and people love to talk. I believe it was Ben Franklin who wrote that three can keep a secret if two are dead.
Pretty close. The more people you have involved the more chance you have that someone will talk. And even if you can keep them from going to the media they have spouses and lovers that they will talk to. A conspiracy with more then ten people hasn't got a prayer of staying under wraps.
One that involves thousand would be on the front page inside a week.
Isn't it a neat trick how the author casually links together creationism and Holocaust denial? Also, isn't he being a bit cavalier in his broad-brush dismissal of the importance of unexplained anomalies? Isn't the history of the advancement of science littered with unexplained anomalies undermining well-established theories? If the author is supposed to be a "skeptic", he should be sued for malpractice. This is just more of the same, uninformed, but politically-correct trash talking that Scientific American has descended into in recent years.
Congratulations. You've just entered the annals of Free Republic kookdom.
You join such esteemed former posters as Justine Raimondo, Harry Callahan, and Michael Rivero.
You're destined to live, forever, at the margins of society, peering over your shoulder wondering who might be following you, voraciously reading the newspapers in early June to find out where the latest Bilderberger confab is being held, and forever standing on street corners, trying to convince passersby that the 1969 moon landing was enacted on a Hollywood sound stage.
Textbook case of cranio-rectal inversion! The symptoms are all there!
Interesting that this statement should appear in Scientific American, since the entire history of science is full of examples of a handful of unexplained anomalies undermining well-established theory, and leading to new and better theories.
It's called the "Scientific Method".
Building 7 sure came down perfectly, didn't it?
And it did not even get hit by a plane.
PBS had an interview with LARRY SILVERSTEIN (The World Trade Center was leased by Westfield America and Larry Silverstein, on April 26th, 2001)where he was quoted as saying : "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it (WTC7)." And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse."
That building was brought down by a controlled demolition.
And he's a proud Bush-hater.
Anyhow, getting to the point, there used to be this website that had mpeg clips of every network and news channel covering that day. You could watch the entire replay for that day, and then clips of coverage for at least the week after. In any case, back in '02 I watched the alphabet network coverage & the 24 hour news channel coverage over and over. I remember the initial coverage of the Pentagon much as you describe.
One thing I would stress however is that things were very chaotic that day, to state the obvious, and it's not odd if the initial reports were erratic just as initial reports often are. By example, just earlier this week they initially reported that 50 houses slid off that cliff in Laguna, CA and it turned out to be a dozen or so.
Whatever the case, I should go to hell for posting this, but you might find this site interesting: Pentagon Strike.
