Russell Pickering: My PENTAGON MANIFESTO (In Retrospect)?
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 10:53:44

Dear Patriots,

My name is Russell Pickering. I spent approximately 4 years of my
life seriously dedicated to understanding what happened at the Pentagon.
I used to have the Pentagon Research website. When I decided to leave
the 9/11 movement I handed it off to Cosmic Penguin. They let the domain
lapse and now it is a purveyor of 9/11 books.

The reason I’ve decided to share some observations here is so that
those of us with a pre-disposition to myopia might look up for a minute
and assess the current social climate and its implications for near
future events.

Many here are astute observers and certainly the majority of you
carry credentials far beyond my GED, so, bear with me and just consider
this message fairly. Most of you here are sincere Patriots with a deep
regard for Truth. Some here are not so benevolent!

After meticulous and dedicated research, including a trip to DC as
part of Loose Change’s research team, I can assure you with 100%
certainty an aircraft impacted the Pentagon. This is just a physical
fact - albeit a counterintuitive one.

So, how did this all start? The forces behind 9/11 realized very
quickly after Meyssan’s initial book, and the fortuitous circumstance
that for all practical purposes there was nothing indicating an aircraft
struck the Pentagon, the option of leaving a void of data was the best
tactic.

Let’s test this hypothesis in the real world. How many hours have
brilliant people spent arguing this? How many words typed? How much
energy and passion has been drained from creating an orderly
presentation of 9/11 Truth to the American public? How many people have
sickened of this wretched debate and quit contributing all together? How
many hours of public awareness of WTC 7 and many much more obvious
facts have been sacrificed? This list goes on and on and on.

You see? This plane/no-plane debate at the Pentagon is responsible
for more division, destruction and disgusting behavior than any other
9/11 topic. It has deterred more of the general public from
understanding the BIG PICTURE than any other aspect of 9/11. It has
misdirected more passion and energy than any other 9/11 Truth topic. It
has fueled the egos and delusions of a few to the point they can no
longer be regarded as honestly caring anything about the uninformed
American citizen. They just want to win the argument, support themselves
financially and be the gatekeepers of Pentagon “truth”.

If I had it to do over again I wouldn’t spend one minute arguing this
issue. Not one! As an example, I recently watched Jesse Ventura’s
presentation on the Pentagon. Despite the fact he was drawn into a
non-factual belief about there being no plane, his work will do more to
stir the thoughts of the American people than the thousands of hours and
millions of words exchanged over the last nine years regarding this
matter.

The American public generally won’t take the time to sort the details
in any case. However, the fact that something is amiss will fuel their
doubt about 9/11 and the elements within our government that
orchestrated it. This is what we need now, not a bunch of egomaniacs
yakking at each other on the Internet. If you haven’t noticed there is a
Revolution brewing. At various levels, and for a multiplicity of
reasons, the dense fog of sleep is lifting from those we originally
claimed to care about – the average Citizen.

We have 8 months now to capitalize upon this phenomenon as the 10th
anniversary of 9/11 approaches. It will be THE OPPORTUNITY we’ve all
been dreaming of! 10 years of lessons learned. 10 years to refine data.
10 years to amass informed specialists in various disciplines. 10 years
for the government to show its true colors.

What will you do with your 8 months? If you haven’t noticed, the
coupe starting with 9/11 is so far successful. The Constitution is
eviscerated, the illegal occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan has become
an obvious disaster and the U.S. is descending into Banker controlled
fascism. The general public is finally starting to ask why.

What will your answer be?

Sincerely and with great hope,

Russell Pickering
