Loughner So Far Right, He Hated Bush!
Told you Bush wasn’t really that conservative!
After all, I guess he was too much of a squish for Loughner, who was (we were told again and again) far right — despite being a 9/11 Truther, or as we now learn, someone who got angry at the mere sight of G.W. Bush.
Interesting how the New York Times buries this information in the story, after running a full story last week claiming Loughner’s ideology was far right. Interesting … but not surprising.
Yes, interesting.
PatAZ (537b43) — 1/17/2011 @ 10:55 amThat just means he’s a True Conservative ™ just like Andrew Sullivan.
bskb (3a53fe) — 1/17/2011 @ 10:56 am“Told you Bush wasn’t really that conservative!”
I don’t know about conservative, but he sure isn’t very right wing.
That’s why I didn’t vote for him in 2000 (bad mistake, obviously, since that moron Gore almost won…if I had to do it over again, I’d vote for Bush…my bad). He’s too liberal.
Tell you what though, he’s a damn sight better than Al Gore or John Kerry would have been, and he’s a zillion times better than Obambi.
Always, it’s about the lesser of evils.
Dave Surls (c49378) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:21 amMany Conservatives hated Bush too.
Blubonnet (60b8e5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:35 amMany of the Truth Movement are Conservative, Patterico, sir.

Capt. Daniel Davis, U.S. Army – Former U.S. Army Air Defense Officer and NORAD Tac Director. Decorated with the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal for bravery under fire and the Purple Heart for injuries sustained in Viet Nam. Also served in the Army Air Defense Command as Nike Missile Battery Control Officer for the Chicago-Milwaukee Defense Area. Founder and former CEO of Turbine Technology Services Corp., a turbine (jet engine) services and maintenance company (15 years). Former Senior Manager at General Electric Turbine (jet) Engine Division (15 years). Private pilot.
* Statement to this website 3/23/07: “As a former General Electric Turbine engineering specialist and manager and then CEO of a turbine engineering company, I can guarantee that none of the high tech, high temperature alloy engines on any of the four planes that crashed on 9/11 would be completely destroyed, burned, shattered or melted in any crash or fire. Wrecked, yes, but not destroyed. Where are all of those engines, particularly at the Pentagon? If jet powered aircraft crashed on 9/11, those engines, plus wings and tail assembly, would be there.
Additionally, in my experience as an officer in NORAD as a Tactical Director for the Chicago-Milwaukee Air Defense and as a current private pilot, there is no way that an aircraft on instrument flight plans (all commercial flights are IFR) would not be intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn off their transponders, or stop communication with Air Traffic Control. No way! With very bad luck, perhaps one could slip by, but no there’s no way all four of them could!
Finally, going over the hill and highway and crashing into the Pentagon right at the wall/ground interface is nearly impossible for even a small slow single engine airplane and no way for a 757. Maybe the best pilot in the world could accomplish that but not these unskilled “terrorists”.
Attempts to obscure facts by calling them a “Conspiracy Theory” does not change the truth. It seems, “Something is rotten in the State.”
* Editor’s note: For more information on the impact at the Pentagon, see General Stubblebine, Colonel Nelson, Commander Muga, Lt. Col. Kwiatkowski, Lt. Col. Latas, Major Rokke, Capt. Wittenberg, Barbara Honegger, April Gallop, Colonel Bunel, and Steve DeChiaro.
* Statement in support of Architects and Engineers petition:
“The government conspiracy theory does not hold up to scrutiny. As a professional with over 30 years experience working with gas turbines (jet engines) and fuels – kerosene (jet fuel) does not burn in any open flame hot enough to effect steel – well under 1000 deg F. Also bogus are the explanations regarding why no planes were intercepted. SOP [Standard Operating Procedure] is they are always, always intercepted if they stray off course and/or turn off the transponder like these flights all did. No command decision needed. Has our government ever been untruthful to us?” http://www.ae911truth.org

Interviewer: We had Congressman Weldon on a couple days ago. Able Danger is not going away.
Col. Hunt: No and it shouldn’t. This is about very, very good guys; six to ten; both military and civilian; Lieutenant Colonels and Navy Captains; O-6’s; who did data mining and discovered some very interesting information. Oh, by the way, the program should be running now. It was completely successful.
They went to the government and the government didn’t want to talk to them. And they went to the 9/11 Commission and they didn’t want to talk to them. Now they’re testifying again. And there’s some amazing stuff coming out of this. And with the war on terror, we need the Able Danger’s and we don’t need the government going after its own agents, which is what they did here.
Interviewer: But it seems there’s some debate on Capital Hill regarding Able Danger about whether or not U.S. officials knew about Mohammed Atta before September 11th or if they didn’t.
Col. Hunt: What’s being talked about in the Congressional Record — It’s part of the Congressional Record. Open. Open. — is that the White House was — Libby was briefed and Hadley were briefed in 2001. A lot of people knew about Atta. These guys have it on the record. http://www.mediavsn.com

•Essay “Treason, Betrayal and Deceit: 9/11 and Beyond” 9/10/09:
“The official 9/11 Commission’s work and report were at best an incomplete exercise. Many people dismiss the findings of the Commission, and that includes its co-chairs [ Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton ]. Many others who utterly distrust the 9/11 Commission report, dismiss the US Government’s explanation of it, and point to both an official cover-up and an “inside job,” include veteran fighter pilots, EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians), air defense experts, experienced commercial pilots, demolition experts, architects and civil engineers – none of them professions that inherently attract and retain the gullible and credulous.
Several things are very clear to me from a careful assessment of both official and critical evaluations of the 9/11 attacks. First, the striking aircraft alone simply could not have brought down either of the two buildings in the manner in which they fell, much less a third building which was not hit by a plane (I expect the one intended to do that as a “cover” had ended up in that Pennsylvania field), given the available physical evidence and a wealth of expert testimony. This means the attackers had assistance on the ground, and it had to have been active before the attacks occurred: preparing buildings for controlled demolition is not something done haphazardly in the midst of chaos.
Second, only two intelligence agencies had the expertise, assets, access and political protection to execute 9/11 in the air and on the ground: our CIA and Israel’s Mossad. Only one had the incentive, using the “who benefits” principle: Mossad. And that incentive dovetailed perfectly with the neo-con’s agenda and explicitly expressed need for a catalytic event to mobilize the American public for their wars, using American military power to destroy Israel’s enemies. Only the unexpected strength of the Iraqi resistance kept Syria and Iran from being attacked in the second Bush Administration. Thus, the evidential trail for 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq run from PNAC, AIPAC and their cohorts; through the mostly Jewish neo-cons in the Bush Administration; and back to the Israeli government. None of the denials and political machinations can alter that essential reality. Terms such as treason, betrayal and deceit do not overstate the case against them.
Finally, we need to take a hard look at why the mainstream media (MSM) have paid more attention to Sarah Palin’s wardrobe than they have to dissecting blatant falsehoods, discrepancies and inconsistencies in the US Government’s treatment of 9/11 and its aftermath. And the reason is that on this issue, all are on the same side, and the official line is the one they all prefer – “all” meaning the PNAC alumni who took over the Bush Administration’s national security apparatus and their counterparts in the Obama administration, AIPAC and the rest of the numerous Jewish PACs, the MSM owners and Israel.” http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article23460.htm

Tongue-in-cheek aside, the acquaintances (or friends?) of Loughner who 3 or 4 years ago described him as of the left, combined with the latest revelation of his visceral dislike of George Bush, indicates that his psychosis was interspersed with liberal sentiment.
Should anyone be surprised by that? Hell, no! Left-leaning sentiment apparently is rooted in a corrupt, rotten dynamic. It’s born BAD.

* Statement in support of Medical Professionals petition for Reinvestigation of 9/11:
“I have been following the 9/11 “story” for over 7 years. The most significant impediment for citizens even considering that the U.S. government is in some way complicit is the unwillingness to entertain that possibility. The fact that the government and the 9/11 Commission Report could not/would not address certain questions raised by the Jersey Girls, scientists, pilots etc., questions which would seem to have easily available factual responses, strongly suggests “cover up.”
I refer to such items as: release of the Pentagon and other videos of the Pentagon crash; explanation of the debris scatter at the PA “crash” site; explanation of how these obviously “hijacked” airliners were not intercepted in a timely fashion — especially the one in DC; a more evidence-based, scientific explanation of the fall of the twin towers and Building 7.
The failure to produce this information/evidence, along with much more, can only lead to one conclusion: THERE IS A COVER UP. There is much data to strongly suggest who and what are being protected and shielded by this cover up. Hopefully a sufficient number of citizens will shed their denial and demand answers and explanations from our nations leaders.” http://mp911truth.org/#HHoffman

* Essay Breaking the Spell with 9-11 Truth 9/7/08:
“Here we are, 7 long years later, and they’re still getting away with it. There has been no real investigation of 9-11, and 9-11 truth advocates are still labeled “fringe”, “paranoid”, “conspiracy theorists”. The country has bought the lie. We are under a spell. …
I attended a 9-11 truth rally yesterday. Richard Gage, an architect who is organizing Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth http://www.ae911truth.org (460 members, so far [Editor: 560 as of January 2009]), spoke about the obvious lies in the official coverup report. ‘The three towers could only have been brought down so quickly by thousands of thermite or thermate “cutters” strategically planted ahead of time in all three building.’ …
These are just a few examples of the outrageous inconsistencies in the official 9-11 story. Yet most of the country continues to buy it.” http://www.opednews.com

Blubonnet (60b8e5) — 1/17/2011 @ 9:20 pmThe ones that know more than anything else about building structure and the number of them signing on is approaching 1,500 now. Here is one of them…
William Rice, BS CE, MS CE, PE – Licensed Professional Engineer, State of Vermont. Worked on structural steel and concrete buildings in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia for two of the nation’s largest building construction companies; the Austin Company and the George A. Fuller Construction Company. Former Professor at Vermont Technical College where he taught engineering materials, structures lab, and other building related courses for over 20 years.
* Essay Vermont Guardian 3/1/07: “Having worked on structural steel buildings as a civil engineer in the era when the Twin Towers were designed and constructed, I found some disturbing discrepancies and omissions concerning their collapse on 9/11. …
The interesting fact is that each of these 110-story Twin Towers fell upon itself in about ten seconds at nearly free-fall speed. This violates Newton’s Law of Conservation of Momentum that would require that as the stationary inertia of each floor is overcome by being hit, the mass (weight) increases and the free-fall speed decreases.
Even if Newton’s Law is ignored, the prevailing theory would have us believe that each of the Twin Towers inexplicably collapsed upon itself crushing all 287 massive columns on each floor while maintaining a free-fall speed as if the 100,000, or more, tons of supporting structural-steel framework underneath didn’t exist.
Controlled demolition is so politically unthinkable that the media not only demeans the messenger but also ridicules and “debunks” the message rather than provide investigative reporting. Curiously, it took 441 days for the president’s 9/11 Commission to start an “investigation” into a tragedy where more than 2,500 WTC lives were taken. The Commission’s investigation also didn’t include the possibility of controlled-demolition, nor did it include an investigation into the “unusual and unprecedented” manner in which WTC Building #7 collapsed. http://www.vermontguardian.com
* Statement in support of Architects and Engineers petition:
“About a year ago I became aware of the unprecedented collapse of WTC Building 7 and the Twin Towers at free-fall speed. Professor Steven Jones’ video lecture was a stunning revelation and a wake-up call. My experience and further research confirmed the uncomfortable facts as presented by Professor Jones.
I also found it disturbing that most politicians seem to have little interest in exploring any theory other than the official jetliners / fires-caused-the-collapses theory. I was told the following in a response letter from one of our representatives in Washington: “Regarding conspiracy theories surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, a number of theories questioning the events that occurred on and before September 11, 2001 have circulated. They are patently false. Several videos have been posted on the internet on this subject, and they too are false.”… “The 9/11 Commission, a bipartisan group of nationally respected individuals, evaluated all relevant testimony and documents related to the events and provided a detailed account of what actually happened on that fateful morning.” However, this “nationally respected” 9/11 Commission failed to include some very important facts and testimonies in their report even though they had to have been aware of them. For example, the 9/11 Commission Report completely omitted the unprecedented collapse of Building 7.
Many of the facts and theories that engineers have learned in such courses as structures, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, etc., have held true for longer than the hundred-year history of structural-steel-framed high-rise buildings and they held true on 9/11/01. Only controlled demolition could have provided the types of building collapses displayed three times on that fateful day.” http://www.ae911truth.org
* Signatory: Petition requesting a reinvestigation of 9/11, signed by more than 1,400 Architects and Engineers:
“On Behalf of the People of the United States of America, the undersigned Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and affiliates hereby petition for, and demand, a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01 – specifically the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7. We believe that there is sufficient doubt about the official story and therefore that the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that may have been the actual cause behind the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers and WTC Building 7.” http://www.ae911truth.org/joinus.php

malclave (1ed9b5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:00 pmMac, Opinions are of no relevance. Only that which is verifiable, and having credentials in the field of topic is also relevant.

* Statement in support of Medical Professionals petition for Reinvestigation of 9/11:
“As a psychiatrist, I see the denial that 9/11 was a false flag operation as a national psychosis. I invite people to read: Breaking the Spell with 9/11 Truth. The evidence that 9/11 was an inside job is mounting. The country is hypnotized into passivity with lies and fears. 9/11 truth can break the spell.”

malclave (1ed9b5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:11 pmGee, why do I want the American people to see this? Because it matters. Alot.
Why do I spend my time trying when so many are so resistant? Because it matters, alot!!!
Why are organizations spreading all around the world about this very topic?
Does it matter to you, that maybe the massive growth and evidence and thousands (and growing number) of relevant professionals have something important to say?
Why are they risking their careers to speak up against big power? Because it matters and they care more about their country than you do. They looked honestly, can you?
Blubonnet (60b8e5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:15 pmHey, did you know YOU could get paid to continuously attempt to discredit me from our government now? Oh you probably already know that. Too bad (FOR YOU) that the material the government has to challenge the Truth Movement is negligible, at best. Pretty challenging to disprove laws of physics. Trying will require, what you already know, the technique of attempted derision. Just makes you sound like a junior high school kid, one step above shooting spit wads. Well, you are laughable. Too bad one can’t laugh at the tragedy and the facts you choose to ignore.
Blubonnet (60b8e5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:21 pmGee, why do I want the American people to see this?
Because you’re a spammer.
Why do I spend my time trying when so many are so resistant?
Because you’re a spammer
Why are organizations spreading all around the world about this very topic?
Because facts are irrelevant when you can attack the U.S.
Does it matter to you, that maybe the massive growth and evidence and thousands (and growing number) of relevant professionals have something important to say?
They’re “relevant” because a spammer says they are? You have still offered NO credentials demonstrating why you get to determine what is relevant… therefore anything you write is irrelevant by your own argument.
Why are they risking their careers to speak up against big power?
They’re off their meds?
They looked honestly, can you?
I have, years ago. I was inconvinced by their arguments or their logic. And the movement’s spam indicates that they’re not serious about their point.
I know you don’t care… you’re just a spammer. Don’t pretend you give a damn about “truth”, I suspect you’re just feeling needy. Nothing in your behavior here suggests anything else.
Before I head out for the night, I do have one piece of advice for you… get a cat or something, maybe that would help.
malclave (1ed9b5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:23 pm92.Hey, did you know YOU could get paid to continuously attempt to discredit me from our government now?
I can? Sweet, I could use the extra cash, and it’s something we enjoy anyway.
Got a link? It would be the only thing you’ve posted that is the least bit interesting.
malclave (1ed9b5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:25 pmI see that Wolman is also a believer in catastrophic global warming:
America today is divided into a number of camps. There are the “Christian Coalition” believers, who accept the evil empire as the reign of god, and eagerly await judgment day, when they expect to be beamed up to the Enterprise. There are the science- based agnostics, who clearly see that we are in a planetary crisis, but reject the Bible and its prophecies. Then there are the mainstream Christians, who like my audience, are in denial about the approaching catastrophes from global warming and the spread of radioactive particles, among other things.
Strange that the truthers are so unwilling to believe the government account of Sept. 11, but believe a much weaker idea like catastrophic man-caused global warming.
Brother Bradley J. Fikes, C.O.R. (fb9e90) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:25 pmAnother comedian, who has no capacity for objectivity. Are you a coward? No need to answer.
Blubonnet (60b8e5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:25 pmOddly, Brother Bradley, since the Truth Movement is both Left and Right leaning, the discussion of Global Warming is a topic that is annoying in our camp. We only go with that which is verifiable.
True, that the questions of Global Warming are still controversial, and frankly I have not made a decision there. I choose not to. Whatever happens there, I have no power in it.
However, waking people up to what has happened within our government, an infestation of criminals is quite easy to point out, if the common minds would stop covering their eyes like children.
Our country has a problem that is hard to even fathom, despite the massive amount of verifiable evidence now. Despite the many professionals’ and their journals weighing in. As stated by the psychiatrists, the majority of the public are still in denial. The fact are in, and many are still hiding under the covers. Time to wake up. The coffee is bitter, I’m sorry.
Blubonnet (60b8e5) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:32 pmblubonnet needs to have more psychiatrists on her side.
Bedside, that is.

“…there are over 108 million in this country that are onto the facts.”
In 2008 there were about 131 million votes cast for president. You have enough people to win every election and BE the government. Don’t you people vote? Don’t you care?
I voted. Why should I or anyone else listen to you if you don’t take yourselves seriously enough to vote against these evil people?
Machinist (74634b) — 1/17/2011 @ 11:55 pmThere is obviously mental collision many are dealing with. We all need to participate in the the problem we are facing. Yeah, it’s ridiculously hard to believe. So what. Look anyway.
Has any history majors around here looked into the way democracies go into demise? Well, it’s farther along than you know. Start looking with your own eyes, and when hundreds of people who endured a catastrophic crisis, and say explosives were there, and the videos look exactly like explosives were there, and analysts of every relevant field say it was explosives, and a peer reviewed piece in a physics journal, scrutinized under the most intensity, concludes nano-thermite (Pentagon produced) material is within all and every sample of pulverized material throughout lower Manhattan, when pilots say that the maneuvers could only have been done at the Pentagon by highly skilled pilots (but then only after trying it multiple times on a flight simulator). Seriously, if you do have regard for this country, please get over yourselves, find some honor within yourself and just start looking further into both sides of the argument. Don’t settle for words from either side. See if the video footage of the day coincides with the government or the many many many other professionals from all around the world now recognizing this, which is more than obvious if you just looked. You are going to be part of the country’s ongoing descent, as laws start becoming more draconian, where as it stands now, well, you really should take a look at what the Patriot Act. Someone, and I can’t recall who, by titling their book “How Would a Patriot Act?”
Too scared to look? I always thought the Lefties, although more often right about things (cuz.I.M.1) but when it came to having some temerity, I thought the Right had it.
I hope cowardice isn’t that all pervasive, but I’m starting to have to acknowledge that my many comrades in the country are voluntarily deaf, dumb and blind. Well, I am still hoping that the dwindling frightened ones will join the growing awareness, that sadly I hate to report, the inflating of certain powers through access permitted by those profiting off of them, have given us all warned of by many of our forefathers.
“James Madison said, “If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
Abraham Lincoln said: “This country will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
Many more of our forefathers warned of the growth of power, and especially of the weapons industry, which has it’s infestations all throughout our institutions that you all continue to pledge allegiance to. Stop pledging to politicians(whose pledges are to the weapons industry and others)and pledge to the country, that you won’t be one of the head bobbers. You can see and think for yourself. Can you? Are you scared to stand up for that which is obvious?
Blubonnet (60b8e5) — 1/18/2011 @ 1:59 amThere’s no need to answer you, blu. You’ve already shown that you are not interested in good-faith debate. I consider your posts here empty words.

* Statement to this website 8/20/07: “I started questioning the Sept 11, 2001 “story” only days after the event. It just didn’t make any sense to me. How could a steel and concrete building collapse after being hit by a Boeing 767? Didn’t the engineers design it to withstand a direct hit from a Boeing 707, approximately the same size and weight of the 767? The evidence just didn’t add up. …
At the Pentagon, the pilot of the Boeing 757 did quite a feat of flying. I have 6,000 hours of flight time in Boeing 757’s and 767’s and could not have flown it the way the flight path was described.
I was also a Navy fighter pilot and Air Combat Instructor, U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School and have experience flying low altitude, high speed aircraft. I could not have done what these beginners did. Something stinks to high heaven!
Where is the damage to the wall of the Pentagon from the wings? Where are the big pieces that always break away in an accident? Where is all the luggage? Where are the miles and miles of wire, cable, and lines that are part and parcel of any large aircraft? Where are the steel engine parts? Where is the steel landing gear? Where is the tail section that would have broken into large pieces?
I also personally knew American Airlines Captain “Chick” Burlingame, who was the captain of Flight 77 which allegedly hit the Pentagon, and I know he would not have given up his airplane to crazies!
And at the Shanksville Pennsylvania impact site, where is any of the wreckage?!!! Of all the pictures I have seen, there is only a hole! Where is any piece of a crashed airplane? Why was the area cordoned off, and no inspection allowed by the normal accident personnel? Where is any evidence at all?
When one starts using his own mind, and not what one was told, there is very little to believe in the official “story”. …
Every question leads to another question that has not been answered by anyone in authority. This is just the beginning as to why I don’t believe the official “story” and why I want the truth to be told.” Link to full statement

Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers. However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission’s “full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.” Watch the collapse video here.

* Essay 10/7/06: Review of Webster Tarpley’s 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in the USA. “I am forced to conclude that 9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war, and I am forced to conclude that there is sufficient evidence to indict (not necessarily convict) Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and others of a neo-conservative neo-Nazi coup d’etat and kick-off of the clash of civilizations. …
This is, without question, the most important modern reference on state-sponsored terrorism, and also the reference that most pointedly suggests that select rogue elements within the US Government, most likely led by Dick Cheney with the assistance of George Tenet, Buzzy Kronguard, and others close to the Wall Street gangs, are the most guilty of state-sponsored terrorism….
I sit here, a 54-year old, liberally educated, two graduate degrees, war college, a life overseas, 150 IQ or so, the number #1 Amazon reviewer for non-fiction, a former Marine Corps infantry officer, a former CIA clandestine case officer, founder of the Marine Corps Intelligence Center, and I have to tell anyone who cares to read this: I believe it. I believe it enough to want a full investigation that passes the smell test of the 9/11 families as well as objective outside observers.” http://www.amazon.com
* Article 10/27/06: “While Steele stopped short of saying 9/11 was a complete inside job, he agreed that the evidence points to the overwhelming complicity of the Bush administration.
“The U.S. government did not properly investigate this and there are more rocks to be turned over,” said Steele adding, “I’m absolutely certain that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition and that as far as I’m concerned means that this case has not been properly investigated. There’s no way that building could have come down without controlled demolition.” http://www.prisonplanet
* Editor’s note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories. It would have been the tallest building in 33 states. Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers. However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission’s “full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.” Watch the collapse video here. And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.

* Article September 11 – U.S. Government Accused by the Portugal News 3/8/02:
“A group of military and civilian US pilots, under the chairmanship of Colonel Donn de Grand [sic], after deliberating non-stop for 72 hours, has concluded that the flight crews of the four passenger airliners, involved in the September 11th tragedy, had no control over their aircraft.
In a detailed press communiqué the inquiry stated: “The so-called terrorist attack was in fact a superbly executed military operation carried out against the USA, requiring the utmost professional military skill in command, communications and control. It was flawless in timing, in the choice of selected aircraft to be used as guided missiles and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected targets.”
The report seriously questions whether or not the suspect hijackers, supposedly trained on Cessna light aircraft, could have located a target dead-on 200 miles from take off point. It further throws into doubt their ability to master the intricacies of the instrument flight rules (IFR) in the 45 minutes from take off to the point of impact. Colonel de Grand said that it would be impossible for novices to have taken control of the four aircraft and orchestrated such a terrible act requiring military precision of the highest order.” http://www.amfirstbooks.com

He grew increasingly disillusioned with the role of the CIA and the United States due to events including the CIA’s involvement in overthrowing Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh of Iran in 1953, followed by the CIA’s orchestration of the coup that removed President Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954. He was terribly dismayed when he learned in 1964 of the history of French and U.S. involvement in South Vietnam and how it differed from what the U.S. government public position was, especially regarding broken promises to hold a referendum in the south about unification with North Vietnam. He was in early opposition to the Vietnam War and became famous for his anti-war activities and his civil rights activism.

* Article William Sloane Coffin Can Rest in Peace by Kevin Barrett:
“William Sloane Coffin spoke out for 9/11 truth before he died. …
William Sloane Coffin will surely rest in peace. During his remarkable lifetime, Coffin took on the greatest evils of his society—racism and imperialist war—and waged an all-out spiritual battle against them. He rode with the Freedom Riders protesting segregation, led a campaign of civil disobedience against the Vietnam War, headed the SANE-Freeze campaign against nuclear weapons, and—in what may one day be viewed as the capstone to his career—spoke out for 9/11 truth shortly before his death.
Here is William Sloane Coffin’s final statement:
‘Professor David Ray Griffin is a retired theologian with a well deserved reputation for the thoroughness of his research. Shocked by 9/11 and its subsequent related events, he not only pored over various American articles, but beyond that, investigated English, French, German and other European and Asian interpretations of the same event. The result consists of exceedingly provocative questions with implied answers quite at variance with Washington official accounts! All Americans who love their country enough to dig into the facts of these critical times will be well rewarded by examining Professor Griffin’s books, The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions.
9/11 Truth is a very important issue with the power to bring lasting change to our country.’

Blubonnet still suffers from the delusion that because she has supposed “experts” on her side expressing doubts about what happened, there is no obligation for people to take them seriously. They were not on site or part of the investigation.

* Interviewed by Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox News 10/9/10:
Michael Scheuer: What the Colonel (Anthony Shaffer, former Chief of the Army’s Controlled HUMINT (Human Intelligence) Program) is absolutely correct on is that the 9/11 Commission and the Commissioners themselves were just there to whitewash it. They were blessed with the most brilliant staff you could imagine. But as Commissioners they were clearly there to not let the American people know what happened before 9/11.
Judge Napolitano: Was the 9/11 Commission report a whitewash as Colonel Shaffer says and as one of the 9/11 Commissioners to whom he spoke, and you heard him talk about this person, pretty much agrees?
Michael Scheuer: It was a whitewash and a lie from top to bottom, Judge
Judge Napolitano: What do you mean “a lie from top to bottom”, Michael?
Michael Scheuer: Well in my own case, sir, the Agency officers who were involved before 9/11 in chasing bin Laden decided that we could not simply testify under oath without providing supporting documentation. And so all of us, both testified under oath. I did, I think three times and provided documents. I provided myself, let me speak just for myself here, Judge, I provided a three inch binder with over 400 pages of documentation — not my notes, but official government documents about the failures before 9/11. I never heard one word back from Zelikow. And I approached Zelikow. He asked me for the notebook. I told him it was available. He asked me for it and he never got in touch to talk about one page of material.
Judge Napolitano: You obviously know what was in the loose leaf and I know you read the 9/11 Commission report. Did anything from the loose leaf make its way into the final report?
Michael Scheuer: … Not the important stuff. The important stuff did not. …

* Contributor to 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out 8/23/06: Account of Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, Pentagon employee and eyewitness to the events at the Pentagon on 9/11. “I believe the Commission failed to deeply examine the topic at hand, failed to apply scientific rigor to its assessment of events leading up to and including 9/11, failed to produce a believable and unbiased summary of what happened, failed to fully examine why it happened, and even failed to include a set of unanswered questions for future research. …
It is as a scientist that I have the most trouble with the official government conspiracy theory, mainly because it does not satisfy the rules of probability or physics. The collapses of the World Trade Center buildings clearly violate the laws of probability and physics. …
There was a dearth of visible debris on the relatively unmarked [Pentagon] lawn, where I stood only minutes after the impact. Beyond this strange absence of airliner debris, there was no sign of the kind of damage to the Pentagon structure one would expect from the impact of a large airliner. This visible evidence or lack thereof may also have been apparent to the secretary of defense [Donald Rumsfeld], who in an unfortunate slip of the tongue referred to the aircraft that slammed into the Pentagon as a “missile”. …
I saw nothing of significance at the point of impact – no airplane metal or cargo debris was blowing on the lawn in front of the damaged building as smoke billowed from within the Pentagon. … all of us staring at the Pentagon that morning were indeed looking for such debris, but what we expected to see was not evident.
The same is true with regard to the kind of damage we expected. … But I did not see this kind of damage. Rather, the facade had a rather small hole, no larger than 20 feet in diameter. Although this facade later collapsed, it remained standing for 30 or 40 minutes, with the roof line remaining relatively straight.
The scene, in short, was not what I would have expected from a strike by a large jetliner. It was, however, exactly what one would expect if a missile had struck the Pentagon. …
More information is certainly needed regarding the events of 9/11 and the events leading up to that terrible day.”

William Lagasse – U.S. Pentagon Police Department (Pentagon Force Protection Agency) officers, who were on duty at or near the CITGO gas station on 9/11 and eyewitnesses to the approach of Flight 77 and its alleged impact at the Pentagon.
* Interviewed by Craig Ranke in the PentaCon video documentary, filmed on 11/7/06:
Craig Ranke: Now how sure are you that the plane was to the north, coming from the north side of the Navy Annex–you’re saying it was pretty much between the Navy Annex and Arlington cemetery. How certain are you of that?
Sgt. Lagasse: 100 percent, I’d bet my life on it. …
Craig Ranke: Is there anything you told me that you think you might have just deduced?
Sgt. Lagasse: No, I mean, like I said the things that aren’t up for grabs; the plane was there; went into the building.
Craig Ranke: The plane was far to the North side of the station. Did not pass over the station.
Sgt. Lagasse: Yeah, it’s not like there was the shadow of a wingtip going over here. It was far enough out that I could see it because the one thing that made me realize what kind of plane it was; was being able to see both engines, you know, so it wasn’t obscured at all. …
Craig Ranke: Sgt. Brooks is going to draw for me on the image, where he saw the plane fly. … [Sgt. Brooks draws a line on the aerial photo of the Pentagon area.]
Sgt. Lagasse: That’s damn near perfect from what I saw. And we’ve never — for the record we never talked to each other about this.
Sgt. Brooks: Yeah, for the record, we never — we’ve never discussed it at all. …
Craig Ranke: So you guys, neither of you guys have really talked about this with each other? Never in all these five years, and you both independently drew the flight path line pretty much exact.
Sgt. Lagasse: I know, I was — the way this has been going — who knew what he was going to put down there because he was in a different location. But it’s right there, which makes me feel good about the way I remembered it.
Craig Ranke: So you’re both pretty much 100% certain that that’s what you remember the flight path being?
Sgt. Brooks: But from different locations, yes. http://thepentacon.com
* Editor’s note: Sgt. Brooks’ and Sgt. Lagasse’s eyewitness descriptions of the path taken by Flight 77 as it approached the Pentagon from north of the Naval Annex and CITGO gas station differ significantly from the official account, which claims Flight 77 approached the Pentagon from significantly further south. The officers’ statements are corroborated by the statements of other eyewitnesses recorded in the PentaCon documentary.
This more northerly flight path is inconsistent with the swath of destruction inside the Pentagon, which runs from the southwest to northeast, as reported in the Pentagon Building Damage Report. The more northerly flight path is also inconsistent with downing the five light poles, which is attributed to Flight 77 in the official account.
Sgt. Brooks’ and Sgt. Lagasse’s eyewitness statements are further corroborated by the analysis of Flight 77’s Flight Data Recorder performed by the group, Pilots for 911 Truth, whose members include the former Head of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology, Lt. Col. Robert Bowman. See the association’s one-hour video presentation and press release for more details.

* Congressional briefing testimony 7/22/05: “It falls to me this morning to bring to your attention the story of Saeed Sheikh, whose full name is Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and his astonishing rise to power in Al Qaeda, his crucial role in 9/11, which is completely, utterly, missing from the 9/11 Commission report…
The 9/11 Commission which studied US intelligence and law enforcement community performance in great detail, (maybe not so much great detail, but they did), neglected to cover the community’s performance during the weeks following the attacks to determine who was responsible for them, not a word about that in the Report.
The Report does discuss the immediate US responses but the immediate investigation is never addressed, and anyone who has closely studied the post-9/11 investigation knows that the first breakthrough came two weeks into the investigation when the money transfers from the United Arab Emirates to the hijackers were uncovered.
Furthermore, if you have studied that investigation, you know there is no disputing that while investigators may have struggled with the identity of the paymaster, they were clear about one thing, he was Al Qaeda’s finance chief. For this reason alone you have to ask why the 9/11 Commission Report never mentions the finance chief’s role as the 9/11 paymaster.” http://www.vt911.org

Why did you run and flee from the truther thread, instead of answering my questions? Why did you revert to destroying a different thread?
It’s clear you want to shut down the opinions of anyone who wins an argument against you.
What a loser.

* Video interview with Alex Jones 6/2/06: “I first began to suspect that 9/11 was in inside job when the Bush-Cheney Administration invaded Iraq. … We can prove that the government’s story is false.” http://video.goo
* Essay 6/9/05: “It is hard to exaggerate the importance of a scientific debate over the cause(s) of the collapse of the twin towers [each 1300+ feet tall, 110 stories] and building 7. If the official wisdom on the collapses is wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely [to] prove to be sound.” http://www.l…
* Editor’s note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories. It would have been the tallest building in 33 states. Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers. However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission’s “full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.” Watch the collapse video here. And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.
Blubonnet (60b8e5) — 1/19/2011 @ 11:47 pmDeputy Chief Raymond Downey – WTC victim. Commanding Officer of the Special Operations Command (SOC), FDNY. 39-year veteran. Most heavily decorated firefighter in FDNY history.
Chief Downey was a renowned expert on building collapses. In testimony before the U.S. Senate, Battalion Chief and Executive Officer of Hazardous Material Operations, Robert Ingram, FDNY referred to him as “the premiere collapse expert in the country.” In a public hearing of the 9/11 Commission, Commissioner Timothy Roemer described Chief Downey as a “very, very respected expert on building collapse.”
According to Fire Engineering Magazine, “Chief Downey was nationally known for his pioneering efforts in the field of technical rescue and was the unofficial leader of the FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Teams he trained for disaster response throughout the United States and the world. Chief Downey commanded rescue operations at many difficult and complex disasters, including the Oklahoma City Bombing, the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, and many natural disasters worldwide.”

* Statement recorded by FDNY 10/3/01: “I don’t know how valid this is with everything that was going on at that particular point in time, but for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 [South Tower] came down, that I saw low-level flashes. In my conversation with Lieutenant Evangelista, never mentioning this to him, he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level flashes in front of the building, and I agreed with him because I thought — at that time I didn’t know what it was. I mean, it could have been as a result of the building collapsing, things exploding, but I saw a flash flash flash and then it looked like the building came down.
Q. Was that on the lower level of the building or up where the fire was?
A. No, the lower level of the building. You know like when they demolish a building, how when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That’s what I thought I saw. And I didn’t broach the topic to him, but he asked me. He said I don’t know if I’m crazy, but I just wanted to ask you because you were standing right next to me. He said did you see anything by the building? And I said what do you mean by see anything? He said did you see any flashes? I said, yes, well, I thought it was just me. He said no, I saw them, too. ….
Q. On the television pictures it appeared as well, before the first collapse, that there was an explosion up on the upper floors.
A. I know about the explosion on the upper floors. This was like eye level. I didn’t have to go like this. Because I was looking this way. I’m not going to say it was on the first floor or the second floor, but somewhere in that area I saw to me what appeared to be flashes. I don’t know how far down this was already. I mean, we had heard the noise but, you know, I don’t know.” http://graphics8.nytimes
* Editor’s note: Despite hundreds of eyewitness reports of explosions throughout the Twin Towers by doomed victims, survivors, emergency service personnel, reporters, and bystanders, the 9/11 Commission Report contains virtually no mention of them and entirely ignores them in its conclusions. Graeme MacQueen’s analysis of oral histories of 9/11 taken from 503 FDNY survivors reveals more than 100 FDNY personnel reported explosions in the Twin Towers.
