Is the Entire Fake Truth Movement Preparing to "Jump the Big Shark?"

It sure looks that way, and my spidey sense is tingling at the way that so many different let's say "fake truth outlets" have very recently all of a sudden begun talking as if big developments were afoot, when in fact nothing much seems to merit such a perception. I'll copy stuff wholesale below as a way of beginning our collective deconstruction of what may well be the start of the endgame...
First, from "Gordon Duff":
GORDON DUFF: GOV. JESSE VENTURA PROVES 9/11 COVER-UP, WILL AMERICA’S GOVERNMENT FALL?

"thought it was a bomb...walked out through the hole..burning wreckage..no plane parts...threatened to keep silent"
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY ACCUSED OF ENGINEERING PENTAGON ATTACK
DONALD RUMSFELD CITED AS POSSIBLE ACCOMPLICE
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
Confirmed sources in the Nigerian government tell us, in order to
keep former Vice President Cheney out of prison for crimes involving
Nigeria, $500,000,000 in bribes have been promised, negotiated by former
President George H.W. Bush. Now, only a day later, Cheney faces
possible charges, so many charges they can only be imagined, for
planning the Pentagon attack on 9/11.
TV host, Jesse Ventura, former Navy Seal, former Governor of
Minnesota, on a one hour documentary on prime-time American television,
makes an open and shut criminal case tying Cheney, Rumsfeld and
officials throughout the US government with complicity in the planning,
execution and subsequent cover-up of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon.
According to experts on 9/11, engineers, pilots, intelligence
officers and members of our military, Jesse Ventura “hit the nail on the
head.” Ventura, using evidence developed over 9 years by hundreds of
individuals, outlines the utter impossibility of the government’s cover
story on 9/11 and systematically debunks it using testimony and
scientific evidence.
Ventura cites, in an interview with a 9/11 commissioner, a possible
motive for the Pentagon attack being included with the attacks on the
World Trade Center. $2,300,000,000,000, yes 2.3 trillion US dollars had
disappeared, cited only the day before in a televised statement by
Secretary Rumsfeld, money “gone missing” from the Pentagon’s
accounting. The area of the Pentagon hit by a missile or destroyed by
explosives or both contained all records of this missing money.
NO PLANE, NO WAY, NOT EVEN CLOSE
Ventura proves, beyond any doubt that no airplane every hit the
Pentagon. As the video shows, not even a highly trained airline pilot
was capable of the maneuvers claimed. Long before, it had been proven
that the 757 was incapable of the task, either the maneuvers or the
speed and trajectory. The plane would have come apart, there is no
disagreement with this and hasn’t been for some time, yet nothing had
been done. Why?
It is also clearly shown that there is absolutely no evidence of any
kind showing a plane hit the Pentagon, no wreckage, no bodies, no
luggage. Items claimed to have been taken to Dover Air Force Base,
bodies, plane parts, were never at the Pentagon as both video and
testimony prove.
There is also proof that the government threatened witnesses, telling them to support the “aircraft scenario.”
NO MUSLIMS, NO HIJACKERS, NO BOX CUTTERS, ALL PROVEN LIES FINALLY
The basis for the conspiracy theory regarding Muslim hijackers with
box cutters was based on supposed phone calls made by Barbara Olson,
wife of Bush Solicitor General. Solicitor General Olson claimed he
talked to his wife on a cell phone, spoke with her at length, while she
described the hijackings as now dramatized by Hollywood. When it was
proven that a cell phone is incapable of making such calls, Olson
claimed it was a “seat back phone.” When it was proven that there were
no seat back phones on American Airlines 757 aircraft, nothing further
was asked.
Then investigations shows he received one call, lasting “0? seconds.
Ventura questions as to whether Olson was duped or complicit? Should
he be arrested too? Was his wife, Barbara, ever really on the plane?
Then Ventura looks into the flight itself. Not only was the flight
recorder “dead” but during the flight itself, the transponder was turned
off. Even more suspicious, the plane disappeared from radar for 28
minutes.
There is no discussion of this 28 minutes, but speculation, perhaps
no longer speculation, has long been that the flight landed. As to what
happened then, we cannot guess, or can we. One of my friends, a former
Pentagon official, had a friend on that aircraft. Not long ago, he
asked me.
“Gordon, what do you think happened to him,
do you think he was executed? Bullet in the brain as they stepped off
the plane or something even worse?”
Ventura didn’t go there. None of us want to. It requires visualizing a scene out of Auschwitz.
Can Americans be so brutal, so devious, so traitorous? It isn’t just
Jesse Ventura that is willing to risk his life to bring it out, Fox
News journalist Geraldo Rivera, several weeks ago, debunked the Building
7 collapse at the World Trade Center as “controlled demolition.”
9/11 COMMISSION DUPED, ADMITS THERE WAS NO REAL INVESTIGATION AT ALL
Commission video’s redacted to remove testimony by the Secretary of
Transportation, transcripts altered, witnesses blocked, evidence, tons
of evidence of government conspiracy withheld, this is the case against
the government. Threats, intimidation, going on for years, this is
proven. Were there more than threats, murders, “heart attacks” or
threats against families? Ventura proves the Pentagon was a government
conspiracy, he “names names.” Geraldo makes any other explanation for
Building 7 other than “controlled demolition” pure insanity.
IGNORING EVIDENCE, PROOF OF DICTATORSHIP OR ARE ARRESTS PLANNED?
It isn’t as though the evidence presented by Governor Ventura and
Geraldo Rivera or even the other stories, Judge Napolitano’s revelations
of knowledge of the attacks as early as 9/11, was new. All has been
know, all highly credible and all systematically ignored, attacked by
the press, suppressed by courts, officials at every level.
9/11 and the recent revelations aren’t proof of a conspiracy by 2
men, or Israel. It is proof that there never was an Al Qaeda and that
the deaths, two wars, the 9/11 deaths and the carnage across the world
wrought by the United States was part of a criminal conspiracy, one that
could only be perpetrated by a dictatorship under the guise of
representative democracy.
Everything we have seen, and millions around the world have watched,
nobody can ignore it anymore, it all says that what has happened is
something no American would allow, not if this still were America.
Jesse Ventura proved something startling to most, suspected by some. He
proved that, at some point in our past, 10 years, more, we don’t know,
our government was overthrown.
MORE WIKILEAKS, MORE ASSANGE, MORE 9/11 COVER-UP
The strongest and most vocal opponent of a new 9/11 investigation is
Julian Assange of Wikleaks. If any individual outside the US government
were to be named as most complicit in a 9/11 cover-up, it would be
Julian Assange.
Everything since then, certainly 9/11 and now, the news about Iran
and, especially Wikileaks, all subterfuge. When former National
Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinsky cited Wikileaks on a PBS interview,
televised nationally, that Wikileaks was the word of an intelligence
agency, Israel never reported it or responded. Instead, they attributed Brzezinski’s quote to me:
“Speaking
to Haaretz, Duff added that ‘it sticks out like a sore thumb that
WikiLeaks is obviously concocted by an intelligence agency.’”
This is what Brzezinski told Judy Woodruff of PBS:
ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI: But
I think the most serious issues are not those which are getting the
headlines right now. Who cares if Berlusconi is described as a clown.
Most Italians agree with that. Who cares if Putin is described as an
alpha dog? He probably is flattered by it.The real issue is, who is feeding Wikipedia on this issue — Wiki —
Wiki — WikiLeaks on this issue? They’re getting a lot of information
which seems trivial, inconsequential, but some of it seems surprisingly
pointed. …The very pointed references to Arab leaders could have as
their objective undermining their political credibility at home,
because this kind of public identification of their hostility towards
Iran could actually play against them at home.It’s, rather, a question of whether WikiLeaks are being
manipulated by interested parties that want to either complicate our
relationship with other governments or want to undermine some
governments, because some of these items that are being emphasized and
have surfaced are very pointed.And I wonder whether, in fact, there aren’t some
operations internationally, intelligence services, that are feeding
stuff to WikiLeaks, because it is a unique opportunity to embarrass us,
to embarrass our position, but also to undermine our relations with
particular governments.
BUSH, OBAMA, CONTINUING DICTATORSHIP, CONTINUING COVER-UP, CONTINUING WAR
Barak Obama ran for president on a platform based on justice, ending
the wars and bringing accountability to government after 8 years of
scandals, deceit and what can only be called “hooliganism and piracy.”
Instead, he has done nothing, the wars continue, drugs are flowing from
Afghanistan even faster than before, 9/11 evidence, now overwhelming and
impossible to ignore is still ignored.
Americans looking for reform wonder if Bush left at all. Those
complicit are, though few admit it, disturbed by seeing America led by
an African American. The visible public face on the very well financed
attacks on President Obama are all very much based on race hatred. This
has long been the most effective tool for keeping Americans divided and
compliant. How else could a major political movement be successful
supporting the least popular and least successful policies in American
history?
Who would want a return to policies enacted by the least successful
president in American history, George W. Bush, who left office with an
approval record listed at 22%. Many would find a number lower, even
half, more credible. President Clinton, after surviving impeachment for
lying about sexual misconduct left office with 68% approval. Thus, we
connect the dots and wake up one morning, informed, enraged and utterly
powerless.
Even through the assaults on President Obama, many financed by the
Koch brothers, tied to ultra-nationalists in Israel, whether there was a
real change of government is not clear. As Jesse Ventura pointed out,
while Vice President Dick Cheney was getting reports of a plane
approaching the Pentagon, seemingly even orchestrating the attack
himself, President Bush was in Florida reading to school children. Two
years of Obama have been similar, too similar.
What can we assume from this? Is, in fact, the President of the
United States no longer Commander in Chief? Did our government hand
itself over to “shadow” rule with Bush or did it happen earlier, after
President Reagan’s dementia made him unable to manage the cabal that
surrounded him? How long have we been operating under no Constitution
at all?
The headline on today’s New York Times:
SENATE BLOCKS BILL FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT STUDENTS
The headline on today’s Washington Post:
TOP US SPY REMOVED AFTER THREATS
What is “their” message? Certainly not “never again.” In fact we
know that “again” is just around the corner, an Iran war with or without
a new 9/11, planned and executed by the same folks, older, not wiser
and certainly more pathologically insane and murderous.
Then, from Kevin Barrett--it seems Christopher Bollyn is back and has been busy playing "connect the dots""
Truth Jihad Radio Sat. 12/18/10, 5-7 pm Central, American Freedom Radio (archived here.) Call-in number: (402) 237-2525 or post your questions to my Facebook page.
First hour: Christopher Bollyn, author of Solving 9/11
- the most comprehensive book on Israeli involvement in the 9/11
attacks. Christopher Bollyn has just made public new evidence concerning
the destruction of 9/11 evidence. He writes:
I
look forward to discussing the destruction of the steel from the World
Trade Center on Saturday, December 18. I am sending you the following
information so that you understand the basics of what I will be talking
about. To understand the Mossad role in the destruction of the steel
from the WTC is to understand a very crucial part of the 9/11 crime. I
posted a piece that discusses the Mossadniks who ran the international
trading network at Hugo Neu Schnitzer. These two Mossad punks, Nathan
Fruchter and Jehuda Saar, had worked for Marc Rich at Glencore AG and
other companies he ran in Stamford, Connecticut since the mid-1990s. Hugo
Neu is the company that recycled much of the steel from the World Trade
Center by sending it to Chinese mills where it was melted. The article is here> http://www.bollyn.com/wikileaks-and-the-911-crime-gang There
is much more to Hugo Neu's connection to the Mossad. Hugo Neu, which
was created by the current owner's father, who was originally working
with Walter Rothschild and Meno Lippauer when they all came from
Germany, is an investor in this Mossad venture capital fund: AquaAgroFund http://www.aquagrofund.com/Investors.aspx#HugoNeu One of the managing partners of the AquaAgroFund is Nir Belzer, who is co-founder of the Millenium Material Technologies Funds. http://www.aquagrofund.com/Team.aspx#Nir Which
he founded with Oren Gafri, who specializes in military applications of
thin coatings, exactly like what was used at the World Trade Center on
9/11 http://www.mmtfund.com/management.html I hope to be able to get the chapter on this subject written in the next few days.

some of what smells fishy to me...
1) Jesse Ventura's role in rolling out this latest op... Jesse has not been a truther for long and has never been a particularly good one. But he sure gets a lot of publicity in the truth movement.
2) Christopher Bollyn re-appears with very convoluted series of connections that he claims prove a Mossad connection to the destruction of steel. And also to "military applications of thin coatings"--as if painted on nanothermite were conclusively proven to have been used.
3) Gordon Duff claims, among other things, that it's been proven that AA77 had no seat-back phones. It hasn't been proven, and frankly is irrelevant. Enough impossible cell phone calls were reported that the existence of seat-back phones is irrelevant and most likely a trap. He also makes ridiculous sounding claims that Bush the Elder arranged for a 500 million dollar bribe to keep Cheney from being arrested by, of all countries, Nigeria.
So here's what I think, more or less. They're trying to set up the truth movement by making it appear that "our leaders" are moving on an increasingly united front to "bring it all together". We will be pressured to go along with most of the "new revelations" that make up this alleged new consensus. The new story will of course be full of errors that will be easily debunked, and in the process two things will happen simultaneously (they hope). First, mainstream folks will once and for all say NO to the truth movement and blame "Glenn Beck's and Alex Jones' right-wing populism" for creating a bunch of paranoid, dangerous lunatics who want to overthrow the US gov't, or the 'regime that overthrew the legitimate US govt'". Second, the LIHOP factions of the fake truth movement will once again try to assert themselves as the RESPONSIBLE truthers who like to focus on FACTS and not SPECULATION.
In order to nip this effort in the bud we must understand what they're playing at and, to the extent that our acquaintances are even aware of such nonsense innoculate them by making clear that our own interests are very specific and do not involve the type of craziness the fakers will be advocating, but instead have everything to do with the few scientifically verifiable problems with the official story. We must also keep an eye out for online forums where fake truthers will be posing as real truthers trying to provide faux legitimacy to the new storyline and be as clear as we can in setting the record straight. It might be good to brainstorm a few succinct talking points for the purpose...
my response to Bollyn's reponse to the above...

Joe Lieberman - WTC 7 Did Not Occur
I wonder if Joe caught the Building What ads. This video from 2008 and once posted here, is gone from Youtube (user account terminated). But, someone has been kind enough to upload it again:
9/11 Joe Lieberman - WTC 7 Did Not Occur .... I Do Not Support A New Investigation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccGKbdaY1y4
From user PimpinTurtleCom As Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Senator Lieberman works hand in hand with Ranking Member Susan Collins, R-Me., to enact needed legislation and to oversee laws the two have successfully enacted in the past. Among the Constitution rewriting are the implementing the 9/11 Commission recommendations, including restructuring the intelligence community; reinventing FEMA after its disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina; strengthening port, transportation, and chemical security; and working to obtain more resources for our first responders, the men and women who are on the frontlines of the war on terror at home.
Chairman (as in Chinese Socialist dictatorship) Lieberman AKA Chairman "Mao" will continue to examine the phenomenon of homegrown terrorism and violent Islamist radicalization, which was brought into sharp relief by the 2009 shootings at Fort Hood. He is working on legislation to better coordinate the security of government and private sector cyber networks. He is monitoring the extreme violence along the southern border and has closely overseen the government's efforts to prepare for and respond to pandemic diseases such as the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. He is also working to pass legislation to strengthen the security of laboratories that use dangerous pathogens and to improve the security of chemical plants and industries that use dangerous chemicals.
In the category of governmental affairs, the Senator has been working to provide domestic partner benefits to federal employees; to provide residents of the District of Columbia with a vote in Congress; and to ensure fairness in the federal employee retirement system. He was instrumental in the passage in 2008 of a number of reforms to streamline and add transparency to the federal procurement system and was instrumental in the reform of lobbying and ethics rules in 2007.
During his previous tenure as Chairman of the Committee, then known simply as the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, in 2001 and 2002, Chairman Lieberman was a leader in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. He investigated corporate accountability after the Enron implosion and the Bush Administration's weakening of environmental regulations. He also authored and won enactment of the E-Government Act of 2002, which required the federal government to improve access to information and services over the Internet, and strengthened privacy protections.
Skip to: Homeland Security | 9/11 Commission | Hurricane Katrina Investigation: A Nation Still Unprepared | Environmental Oversight | First Responders and Information Sharing | Rail, Transit and Port Security | Border Security / Immigration | DC Voting Rights | Postal Reform | E-Government | Campaign Finance | Congressional Accountability | Regulatory Reform | Corporate Accountability
Homeland Security
Homeland Security. Chairman Lieberman has worked consistently to oversee the Department of Homeland Security since its creation in 2003 to ensure that first responders and preventers are provided with the resources they need to do their jobs and to instill an all-hazards approach that will enable the Department to respond to natural disasters as well as terrorist attacks. Among his achievements are implementation of the 9/11 Commission recommendations in two pieces of legislation enacted in 2004 and 2007; the reinvention of FEMA into an agency capable of preparing for and responding to a catastrophe on the level of Hurricane Katrina in 2006; oversight of the Department's efforts to develop an architecture to prevent nuclear materials from passing through ports of entry; and protecting national security employees from unfair abuse.
In 2002, as Chairman of what was then known as the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, Senator Lieberman led the fight to create a new Department of Homeland Security. One month after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, he introduced legislation to reorganize the federal government to better protect the American people from terrorism and natural disasters and steered a bipartisan plan through his committee. After months of opposing the plan, the White House eventually endorsed the concept. Legislation that passed Congress in 2002 created a department incorporating key organizational elements Senator Lieberman advocated.
Since then, Senator Lieberman has been a forceful advocate for additional funding above the President's annual budget requests for training of first responders, supplying additional equipment, protecting critical infrastructure, improving bioterrorism preparedness, and increasing port and transportation security. In 2001, the Senator co-sponsored legislation to establish the 9/11 Commission to determine how terrorists could have attacked our nation on September 11, 2001.
Lieberman's loyalties are pretty clear
And I should say, along those lines, that the grain of truth in Duff's article, if there is one, is that Brzezinski nails the wikileaks issue right on the head. By invoking the Turkish/American relationship in particular I think he is making it clear that Israel is behind wikileaks. In other words wikileaks and Sibel Edmonds are pretty much operating outof the same Zionist corner. No wonder why Brzezinski has long been targeted by fake truthers for his alleged complicity in 9/11 based merely on his "Grand Chessboard" analysis. In particular, look at fake truth squad We Are Change's obsession with him...
Now before anyone goes and rattles off all of Zbig's crimes, understand that I'm not saying that he isn't likely guilty of all kinds of realpolitik inspired craziness. What I'm saying is that he probably had nothing to do with 9/11 and is attacked by the fake truthers probably because he's not particularly fond of Israel. See for example:
Uh, oh. Lieberman going somewhere?
Lieberman Expected Not to Run in 2012
Thanks for playing. Bubeye.
http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/politics/Lieberman-To-Announce-2012-P...
I can see only two
I can see only two possibilities now, and personally I rate the probability at about 50/50.
1, we have reached the tipping point, the game is up, and for self preservation reasons MSM are dipping into 911 truth. People power and the internet have fatally crippled the oligarchy already,and all we are awaiting is the death scene.
2,By 'discovering' 911 truth, the MSM are playing a very dangerous game adding a lot of fuel to the fire, unless it is all part of a well orchestrated move to set up 911 truth, dismiss it, AND that firm plans are in place leading to the removal of all non state sanctioned material from the net at the same time. Unless they do this, the oligarchy face a certain demise sooner or later.
It also occurs to me that if 2 is true,genuine independant minds, when considering wikileaks were supposed to conclude it was state sponsored output, and would be expected not to support it. By anti establishment forces jumping on the bandwagon, and unexpectedly actually supporting the principle of wikileaks in an intense manufactured media circus, the wikileaks plan to unplug the net has failed or has been set back in world public opinion. With net neutrality still in play, and public opinion supporting it, whilst becoming even more suspicious of the motives of their administrators, all outcomes are still possible.
Paranoia-ists
Paranoia-ist is a term that came to me a while ago when I realized how people seemed to spread paranoia--be it about conspiracy theory--ie., attacking other groups in conspiracy theory, and UFos being ALl government flown ready to beging a 'last card' false flag, and/or demons etc.
Now I like anyone with even half a brain am very intrigued about the whole 9/11 thing. it is being used to further corporate fasicsm, etc. I got drawn into the 'No Planes Theory' and was a member of their forum --which I believe has gone down, Killtown was one of the owners.
What I found there was peer pressure to demonize the 'truth Movement' callin them 'truthers' and making out they were on the other side because they wouldn't accept there 'being no planes' involved, and TV trickery.
But what I feel now is that this is all STUPID and plays right inot the hands of that very old controlling trick, Divide and Rule/Conquer.
Now why cannot it be understood that maybe DIFFERENT trricks were used on 9/11 with the advanced purpose OF this divide and control with the pre-planned knowledge of inevitable conspiracy theory about 9/11. For after all it is so BLATANTLY an insider crime, right. Almost like we are being played with --as though they are seeing just how freakin dumb we are? because all their 'education' and mass media has been designed to dumb us down and they sure are testing it.
So WHY are you'll all paranoid about other sources of information. I was actually accused more than once of being a 'shill' and the 911movement forums which actually was beginning of my losing respect for them. THAT is paranoia
So my advice is--do NOT fall into the trap of that and look at ALL evidence. Ie., IF...IF planes weren't used dont mean there wasn't explosions, OR that Dr Judy Wood is wrong. Dont go at it that way. If you prejudge that the people into these OTHER evidences are all 'on the other side' WITHOUT using your mind and intuition about what is being said, then you are playing right into the hands of the actual planners of 9/11!
sorry...
But it's become very clear to me that the "truth movement" was started by the perps' apologists, and that the farther back in time you go the higher the percentage of the truth movement is likely to have been plants. So, Hufschmid, Hoffman, Thorn, and Fetzer are just a few that fall under that category. The movement most likely picked up a number of honest folks along the way like David Griffin and David Chandler, but the perps' defenders most likely also put out the call for more troops as their strategy of "control from the beginning" did not work well enough to contain the growth of the movement. Another key aspect of the fake truth movement is the creation of pre-fabricated factions like the no-planers (Nico Haupt and Killtown), the LIHOPpers (Jon Gold et al), the dustifying space beam crew (Judy Wood), and more recently the obnoxious flyover advocates (CIT). In fact, we discussed these matters before elsewhere, like here:
http://wtcdemolition.com/blog/node/2884
Lumping CIT in with Wood, Haupt, etc.
Sigh... Gretavo, you disappoint me. This is EXACTLY WHAT THE FAKE TRUTHERS DO! In essence you have just called me an "obnoxious flyover supporter" (even though, with one or two rare exceptions, I have been nothing but civil to everyone on all forums) and part of the fake truth movement. You sadden me, I thought better of you.
In fact, as you apparently started this blog to embrace the hard core MIHOP physical evidence, I think it's YOU who's jumped the shark here.
by their fruits you shall know them
By 'obnoxious flyover advocates' I meant specifically Craig and Aldo, but seeing as how you managed to help totally alienate David Chandler and push him into the Hoffman/Victronix sphere of influence I think you probably earned your wings too. Wouldn't be the first time you disappointed and saddened ME either, Adam. In any case, my working assumption now, as you know, is that CIT are likely disinfo artists. Since their work entirely revolves around a set of alleged eyewitnesses, it is no more inherently credible than the OCT which similarly relies on alleged eyewitnesses. The difference is that the CIT op required far fewer "eyewitnesses" to hire than the OCT. Of course it's also possible that they are essentially right on a number of points and their obnoxiousness is designed to discourage people from examining the possibility (a la Nietzsche's perfidious harm). Either way, I'll judge them by their fruits, and by that token CIT are worse than useless.
not fair
Their obnoxiousness is merely a response to fake truthers that battle, belittle and cut down anyone they disagree with after they ban them from the discussion.
Seems CIT's only 'crime' is that they openly push a theory based on the eyewitnesses testimony they've gathered.
But maybe I've missed something that you haven't. What is THE MOST OBNOXIOUS example of CIT being 'obnoxious flyover advocates'?
I don't think anyone can deny that the witness testimony is compelling and amongst some of the most valuable evidence gathered from that day, especially regarding the Pentagon. Let's not throw that out with the bathwater.
You have got to be kidding...
"I don't think anyone can deny that the witness testimony is compelling and amongst some of the most valuable evidence gathered from that day, especially regarding the Pentagon."
You are suggesting that the most "valuable evidence" we have from that day is the "testimony" from Pentagon and Department of the Army employees which directly contradict the conclusions of CIT as to their "flyover" theory?
CIT is clearly designed to drive people back into the waiting arms of the other psyop created by Jim Hoffman, Victoria Ashley, and Gregg Roberts, and that is the "believe the official story" line.
"[W]e suggest a distinctive tactic for breaking up the hard core of extremists who supply conspiracy theories: cognitive infiltration of extremist groups, whereby government agents or their allies (acting either virtually or in real space, and either openly or anonymously) will undermine the crippled epistemology of believers by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups, thereby introducing beneficial cognitive diversity." (Page 219.) Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Cass Sunstein
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
I'm with WL on this one.
CIT and their supporters have created an atmosphere where people have been distracted from the fact that there is ZERO compelling evidence for the veracity of the official story that AA77 was flown into the Pentagon by a team of al Qaeda terrorists. Instead they, along with the LIHOP crowd, have managed to corral people into a "believe flyover/CIT or believe the OCT" false dilemma. It's almost the same as the way that the nano-thermite honeypot threatens the real truth movement. If we let our leading arguments become specualtion about the specific ways the deceptions were accomplished instead of the mere fact that deceptions undoubtedly occurred, we will be easy prey.

as am I, and the most believable witness
testimony i ever heard was April Gallup's on Guns and Butter special, will find. the flyover is just as fantastical - i mean wasn't all air traffic grounded by then anyway, so how could it blend in with the traffic?? - as is a 757 hitting the building. but anonymous is right in that we (the public) have been dumbed down and been played for fools. the whole script is so bad.
thanks for the CS reminder, WL!
I don't know how fantastical it is...
...but I have a big problem with people telling me what I "have to believe", which is Aldo and Craig's MO. "Because of what our eyewitnesses say, the only acceptable belief is that a plane flew over the Pentagon." They are practically begging for me to answer "well, unless you are liars working for the cover-up." And frankly that's what my gut tells me. I'm not saying anyone who doesn't agree with me is being dishonest, I just think that Craig and Aldo are. As dishonest as Jim Hoffman, etc. And, I have recently begun to suspect, as dishonest as Steven Jones.
what if they aren't fake?
For a minute lets imagine that the witnesses are legit as well as Craig / Aldo / CIT, which I believe is the case.
Doesn't CIT's reaction seem logical? If you traveled to DC, collected evidence that shows a plane flew along a different flight path then what is official...wouldn't you inevitably ask yourself:
"I wonder where that plane went?"
And wouldn't you then make your own conclusions based on the evidence?
And when you do decide to make your own conclusions..would you not react in the same way when a dog pile of people including Gretavo, Jim Hoffman, Victronix, WillyL, Jon Gold, Cosmos etc. all tried to paint your work as a psyop designed by Cass Sunstein in order to undermine the search for 9/11 Truth....or as a psyop to push noobs into a waiting snake pitt with Jim Hoffman?
I guess the bottom line is I don't see what these guys have done to deserve such harsh reactions from you and others. And there are not examples being provided. And I don't see why it even matters what Craig Ranke wants you to think or how mean he was when he created his shit list.
What matters is there is a good chance the evidence and testimony is legit.
my view...
...is that there are things worth dividing the movement over, like LIHOP. how exactly the Pentagon deception was carried out isn't one of them. my gut tells me CIT are up to no good. others may well feel differently.
What if you...
researched, wrote a bunch of books, lectured like a rock star, and still had that same bunch of clowns dismissing your whole body of work because they think AA77 had seat back phones and that the idea of voice morphing is crazy talk? I think DRG has at least as much reason to be peeved with the fake truther circus as CIT... but observe the way he reacts (or doesn't).
well, we don't really know if AA77 had seatback phones
and DRG seems to base his position on an alleged statement made by an AA rep that was posted to an obsucre german forum... but that's hardly the only problem with the claims about AA77, namely that impossible cell phone calls were made from it.
Anywho... this is an interesting statement made by Chandler on 911blogger in response to the question of whether he was prompted to issue this statement... I wonder if ------- is Richard Gage? That would be my guess...
»
I literally went to bed one night wanting ------- to make a bold statement that would be a definitive rejection of the conclusions, methodology, and divisive tactics of CIT. I was at a loss for how to persuade him to do this. It occurred to me as I got up the next morning that I was wanting him to do something I had not done myself. I have never made a public statement on this subject, so I decided it was time to "come out." So I discussed it with Jon Cole (since we share a website in common) then called ------- and told him I was going to be making this statement and urged him to use it as an opportunity to make a move on it too. The statement, by the way, is a consensus statement with Jon Cole. We each wrote independent first drafts and then I merged elements of both into the final document.
By the way, in response to the statement, I have received an email from Aldo Marquis characterizing it as a "hit piece." He said, "I just read some of your hit piece on us and I/CIT plan on responding in full." (I wish he had read the whole thing!) I don't view it as a hit piece. I do call out CIT explicitly, but the essay is more than that. I tried to make a clear, rational appeal to not let the public perception of the 9/11 Truth Movement be drawn away from the solid record of evidence established in our WTC research and become focused on inherently murky and divisive theorizing about the Pentagon event.
As I researched this essay I found that there is much more solid, convincing, eyewitness testimony of the plane hitting the light poles and the Pentagon than I dreamed existed. I urge you to listen to the recordings made for the Library of Congress in 2001 and contrast both the tone and content with the patently offensive, manipulative, so-called interviews conducted by CIT. I also ran across the telephone interviews of witnesses conducted by Jeff Hill, for the first time. (I have links at the bottom of the essay.) These interviews are amazing! Just listen to them!!!
So no. Jon and I were not manipulated into making this statement.
Submitted by davidschandler on Mon, 01/03/2011 - 12:42am.
So, what would be nice is if Mr. Chandler would also "make a clear, rational appeal to not let the public perception of the 9/11 Truth Movement be drawn away from the solid record of evidence established in our WTC research and become focused on inherently murky and divisive theorizing about pork chop transfers and the activities of evil Arab Muslims"
That would be really nice.
I agree that the seat back phone issue is murky
and after trying to hunt down the citation, I was pretty disappointed. My POINT however, is that some people have used weaknesses like that to unfairly stick the disinfo label on DRG and IN RESPONSE he has... what? written shrill email denunciations? Put an enemies list on his website?
that's a different discussion right?
Isn't that an entirely different discussion about individual approach and effectiveness? CIT's approach doesn't, IMO, suggest they are agents working to cover up the crime that occurred on 9/11/2001.
Enemies List -
I would say that WTCDemolition.com has an enemies list. Some users here have created fictional characters with their own login account. These characters post comments and content and act as mockeries of real people who are well known within the 911 Truth Movement. (cosmos, jon gold). This is beyond a list of people who probably harassed these guys for collecting evidence relating to the Pentagon.
Shrill denunciations -
WTCDemolition has shrill denunciations all over the place. WillyLoman's response, which seems to accuse CIT of being outright agents covering up the crime of 9/11 and pushing people into the Jim Hoffman snake pit, seems like a shrill denunciation of CIT to me. It's an exaggerated response to CIT's behavior, which is hardly any worse then what we see on WTCDemolition.com.
Unless you have some examples that I just haven't seen. And I'm no "CIT Supporter". I'm just saying the response to CIT seems SHRILL from all angles. And it seems to based on gut-feeling and not actual things these guys have done.
That's not the same as an enemies list
You really are reaching for that one aren't you?
Mocking someone is not the same as creating an "enemies list" and you know it.
For that matter, my statement is based on what I believe to be the overall agenda of CIT. This conclusion is based not only on my evaluation of their supposed "evidence" but also their behavior over the last few years... not to mention several discussions I have had with CIT members right here in this forum. Their "shrill denunciations" were to call me a disinfo agent just as soon as I wondered aloud about the logic of setting off an explosion then flying a massive plane at tree-top level right over the Pentagon right when everyone was looking at it.
I have come to a rational conclusion about CIT. Its that simple. Now, if you don't want to look at the evidence built up over the years, then you may indeed see that as a "shrill denunciation" but that doesn't make it so. That just means you don't like the conclusion I have come to.

enemies list on steroids
anyone who hangs around these parts quickly picks up on the enemy list:
Sibel Edmonds
Jon Gold
Cosmos
LooseNuke
911blogger
Sander Hicks
etc. etc.
It's like an enemies list on steroids here at WTCDemolition.com and I can't say that I disagree.
No Jpass.. having people that you do not respect...
or even suspect,is NOT the same as publishing an "enemies list" on-line, complete with pictures of them and their real names. That's what CIT has done and that's VERY different from what happens here and you know it.
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
might not be yours, but thats my perception
You might not see it that way but I do.
Then you have lost your objectivity
on the subject.

Jeff Hill is amazing?
"I urge you to listen to the recordings made for the Library of Congress in 2001 and contrast both the tone and content with the patently offensive, manipulative, so-called interviews conducted by CIT. I also ran across the telephone interviews of witnesses conducted by Jeff Hill, for the first time. (I have links at the bottom of the essay.) These interviews are amazing! Just listen to them!!!"
In the same paragraph he calls CIT's interviews 'offensive' and 'manipulative' and, in the same paragraph, call's Jeff Hill's (SURE) interviews "amazing"?
Jeff Hill, once an advocate of TV FAKER aka NO PLANES AT THE WTC, Jeff Hill has easily conducted the most offensive interview with a 911 witness to date. I guess I have to agree with the author, this interview is pretty damn amazing:
((I was going to post the drunken badgering that Jeff Hill put on a witness at 1am but it's no longer available at the source I used in the past)
Shure, not SURE, right?
But yeah, it's pretty apparent that Mr. Chandler is a bit of a neophyte when it comes to movement politics and history. I really wish he had stayed above the fray much as David Griffin always has. I do feel, however, that in time he will come up against the peculiar resistance that all real truthers do when they step over the bounds considered ok by their fake truther manipulators. which of us in the movement doesn't feel like there are a few people who we never should have trusted?
Here ya go

not kidding
I'm suggesting that the testimony that CIT gathered is:
"compelling and amongst some of the most valuable evidence gathered from that day, especially regarding the Pentagon."
100% totally serious and not kidding at all.
My perception of CIT is different then yours. Maybe I'm out of the loop but I see CIT this way:
Where's the big deal?
The Sunstein quote could apply to anyone who chooses to come to their own conclusion on any topic under the sun. Are you not discounting CIT's flyover theory? Are you not casting doubt on CIT's flyover theory? And beyond that are you not casting doubt on CIT themselves as legitimate 911 Truth activists?
The only way CIT would have the power to driv people to Hoffman is if those people are spending way too much time caught up in the politics and online drama concerning 911 Truth.
not at all...
"The only way CIT would have the power to driv people to Hoffman is if those people are spending way too much time caught up in the politics and online drama concerning 911 Truth."
My gut tells me that David Chandler is a real truther, and he specifically cites CIT as a reason for posting his (unfortunately worded) position on the Pentagon issue. Ergo, to me it seems clear that a questionable group has managed to push a real truther into a position unnecessarily supportive of the OCT and in harmony with fake truthers Hoffman and Victronix. Frankly I doubt that Chandler spent that much time on politics and online drama. I think the opposite is true, because if he spent as much time figuring out those politics instead of just confirming that CIT were, in his opinion, jerks who are wrong, then he would probably not have been so impressed by Hoffman and Victronix, given their history and associations.
well...
"the witness testimony is compelling and amongst some of the most valuable evidence gathered from that day, especially regarding the Pentagon"
If it's not cut from whole cloth, i.e. staged. Just like the nano-thermite is great evidence UNLESS it was planted in the dust samples examined.
If I were the king of the truth movement I would decree that we focus on two things:
1) all unfakeable analysis that shows beyond a doubt that planes alone did not cause the three WTC skyscrapers to disintegrate
AND
2) the absence of hard, unfakeable evidence supporting any aspect of the official story including the identity of the planes flown into the towers, what exactly happened over Shanksville, what exactly caused the damage at the Pentagon, what role if any were played by the alleged hijackers, etc.
That should be enough to convince the requisite number of people to examine the official 9/11 narrative and find it wanting. Once enough people do that, it should follow that people will want a brand new full accounting of the day's events, with no holds barred.
Nice knowing you, Gretavo, good night and good luck...
I think we will have to part ways now. You said:
"but seeing as how you managed to help totally alienate David Chandler
and push him into the Hoffman/Victronix sphere of influence I think you
probably earned your wings too."
Chandler's remark about how "how people like Adam Ruff and Adam Syed treat people who disagree with their position" came out of thin air from him and he did not provide one example of how I was alienating him.
Yet you're taking him at his word and accusing me of helping to successfully alienate him. This crosses the line with me.
Gretavo, you take a very unhealthy approach imo. Your working MO is to assume that EVERYONE is an agent or a disinfo op. Yes, a healthy degree of suspicion is necessary of one another in this movement but you take it to ridiculous extremes. I've talked to others (Keenan, Adam Ruff, Sheila Casey, and others) and I'm hardly the only one who feels this way.
When citizen investigators spend thousands of dollars and hours investigating, you play devil's advocate for the sake of it, arguing that the investigators and the witnesses could be all lying as part of a disinfo trap. I see this as completely unproductive and it doesn't get anyone anywhere.
You have no evidence that Hoffman and CIT are working together as opposite sides of the same coin. But by suggesting this publicly, you do nothing to muddy the already muddy waters. "A joint CIT/Hoffman squeeze play?" Get serious.
And given that over the past 1.5 years, my name has become inextricably intertwined with CIT, I simply cannot and will not contribute to a forum that feeds into the notion that CIT and its supporters are up to no good. You say that the "obnoxious flyover supporters" are up to no good AND you say that all of the witnesses might be plants. This serves absolutely no constructive purpose whatsoever and indeed, when the true faction camp sees you say such things, they're probably silently cheering you on and hoping you'll continue, because you're attacking CIT and the witness evidence, albeit from a different angle (the difference being that you oppose Hoffman and co. as well). But just because you are the enemy of my enemy does not mean you're my friend.
For many years you were one of my favorite online posters. As I'm sure you well remember, we met on Amazon in 2006 on the DRG and Popular Mechanics forums and I thought your posts countering the debunkers were dynamite. And it was when Amazon banned you for discussing the holocaust, I got curious to whether your posts might have been onto something, and it was you who turned me on to the David Cole documentary.
But I'm very unimpressed with your positions as of late, and I feel the need to take a stand.
Respectfully, please close my account and delete my pussy.
PS See you on facebook and elsewhere, keenan and jpass. :)

I've reached the conclusion, after about 6 years of studying 9/11 and the truth movement, that the truth movement is more heavily infiltrated than most people would like to believe. In fact, you could say that the truth movement was created by the fakers and only slowly has been infiltrated by real truthers. As the ratio of real to fake truthers increases, new fake truthers must be recruited/created. As people like Nico Haupt, Chris Bollyn, and Jim Fetzer blow through their credibility capital and become as useless as Judy Wood's hairbrush, the perps have seen fit to introduce new faces--limited hangout people like "Diane the New York Activist" and Steve Alten on the one hand, and obnoxious provocateurs like Mike Delaney and his Prothink site on the other. Fool me once, yada yada. In the early years I used to chalk it up to the suspicion that eccentric people were naturally more prone to discover the truth about 9/11 and speak out sooner than more conventional folks. Now if it stinks, or even exudes a mild aroma, or if it irrationally clings to unproven aspects of the OCT, I tend to assume the worst. I try to make sure my mind never closes to the possibility of being proven wrong, but generally I find that my gut feelings turn out to be reliable to me. I have felt there was something strange about CIT for a long time, and now, seeing the fruit of their labors manifest itself I feel justified in my suspicions.
gut feel
and that is why i keep coming back to this site. I agree with your analyses more often than not, and the not usually is just a matter of left versus right approaches to truthing. Also, as I have a tendency to becoming attached to certain researchers and thus placing too much perhaps unwarranted trust in them, you have provided a healthy dose of skepticism and objectivity, resulting in just enough disillusionment. I am eventually redirected to the path.
btw, thanks for speaking out on CIT.
thanks for the vote of confidence K!
I really would have had no problem with CIT had it not been for the circus that developed around them, a circus that clearly had the effect of closing the mind of someone who has emerged as one of the best spokespersons for the truth. For this we can thank not only CIT themselves but (maybe especially) their strident promoters like Adam Syed...
Adam...
...thank you for your recent email in which you copied "Adam Ruff"'s email to you about how he would no longer be listening to what I have to say on any subject because of my mistreatment of you and CIT. I'm a little confused though because from the above I had hoped you would not persist in engaging me in dialogue. Please don't email me again, thanks.
oh, btw... The whole schtick of pretending to be real friendly to someone then using that assumed "friendship" to influence their thinking has gotten SO old. I have made and lost more than my share of such "friends" during my years as a truther. if you all haven't gotten the message--I am not, by any means, lonely and in need of friends, so implicit threats that I will be left friendless and shunned by the "truther community" aren't worth your time or mine.
Please close my account here as well!!
Gretavo, I really am shocked at how you have thrown aside somebody who I and many others respect as a "real truther", Adam Syed.
I came over here after being banned at blogger last summer. I think Adam brought quite a few over here.
I did not come to befriend you and I was never given much of a warm welcome! At blogger they worried that I was either an agent or a tin-foil hatter, possibly crazy!! I laughed at how poorly discerning they were. I happen to trust my gut feelings also, which took me over to cit's work.
This paranoid response to people with whom we are unsure reminds me of the old fanatical Christians who thought everyone who was a little strange to be "satanic". Its ridiculous to me.
I'm sorry that you have chosen to disregard vital information here.
Lillyann
bye!
We'll miss your voluminous contributions here, "Lilyann"!
gretavo. what do you think about rancourt and his...
... review of the Harrit/Jones "nanothermite" paper? I know he's a bit off on the "crush down/crush up" theory, but I think his conclusions hold water. Have you read his paper?
I think it is probably not a coincidence that this real push to have endorsements for CIT's crap is happening around the same time as Rancourt's paper and his conclusions.
"There are more problems with all of this than I have the patience to outline but here are some main points.
* The Al slugs would give inhomogeneous background Al signals in the EDXA spectra. This was not considered or discussed in the paper. There could be no or little Al in the red-layer.
* The carbon adhesive tape will give inhomogeneous background C signals in the EDXA spectra. This was not considered or discussed in the paper. There could be no or little C in the red-layer.
* There is as much or more Si (silicon) in the EDXA results than Al in all the red-layer results and Si and Al are closely correlated in their spatial distributions (e.g., their Figure 10). No probable explanation is given for this. This is not consistent with the presence of metallic Al.
* Oxygen (O) is more closely spatially correlated with Al and Si than with Fe (e.g., their Figure 10). No probable explanation is given for this. This contradicts the conclusion of the presence of metallic Al.
* No effort was made to estimate the Fe:Al elemental ratio in the red-layer. Synthetic thermite or nanothermite would have a ratio of 1:1. The point is never discussed.
* The exothermic peak in the DSC traces occurs at a temperature (420 C) approximately 90 C below the temperature for the thermite reaction. No explanation is proposed for this. Chemical activation energies of known reactions cannot be so sample dependent, whether nano-sized or not. This is not the thermite reaction.
* In the reacted product (after heating in DSC), no Al-oxide is observed as a residue, as required by the thermite reaction. No explanation is given for this.
* The obvious needed measurement of X-ray diffraction was not used to confirm the solid mineral species (oxides or metals). This is unacceptable in a materials chemistry paper. This is not considered by the authors.
* Much is made of the fact that Fe-rich spheroids are present after reaction but there is no discussion of the grey-layer or of the origin of the Si-rich spheroids. Heating causes many things and there is an exothermic reaction so the conclusions about the presence of Fe-rich spheroids (which are reported to contain oxygen) as evidence for the thermite reaction is tenuous.
Also had you heard that a second Editor in Chief resigned from Bentham over the Harrit/Jones paper?

Adam...
"In fact, as you apparently started this blog to embrace the hard core MIHOP physical evidence, I think it's YOU who's jumped the shark here."
Adam, you do realize that CIT does not have "hard core MIHOP physical evidence", right?
well said, C455
Thought i would also point out how ironic it is that CIT of all people are being accused (improperly) of being "no-planers" when in fact their scenario does necessarily include a plane. While I will not assert that there was definitely no plane involved in the explosion(s) at the Pentagon I also refuse to accept that there WAS necessarily a plane. To this, Victronix and others will no doubt say "oh so everything was faked, huh?" to which I will answer--I don't know how much of 9/11 was fake, except that as a whole it was indeed one big fake. By default, therefore, and to do right by the victims of what actually happened instead of by what is "right for the movement" we must hold all claims made by the official narrative as suspect until proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Therefore I accept that SOME planes hit the twin towers (not necessarily the alleged flights), but little else that the OCT claims. By the same token I accept that the 3 towers were brought down using explosives (but not necessarily using painted on nano-thermite.)
"but then HUNDREDS of people would have to be lying..."
Yes indeed. If we've learned one thing about 9/11 it's that a LOT of people are willing to lie about it. Not hundreds, not thousands, but likely many more than that. I no longer find it hard to believe that 100+ alleged eyewitnesses were plants, and that includes CIT's eyewitnesses as well as the OCT's. The bigger the lie, the more people tend to believe it. As they say "I mean, come on, you don't seriously think that many people are in on it?!" Yes, unfortunately, yes I do.
I do not believe CIT are
I do not believe CIT are disinfo, i give them the benefit of the doubt.
But the elevation of 13 eyewitnesses as sacrosanct holds very little water. How easy would it be to come up with 13 faked witnesses? Not that hard for a conspiracy that loaded 3 buildings with enough charges to wipe them out.
I would say that is true
Holding up 13 witnesses as sacrosanct is a bit odd, especially when they directly contradict the "fly over" theory and even more when you remember they are Pentagon and Department of the Army employees.
When you factor in those facts as well, that goes beyond a little "odd". IMHO
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
The other possibility
The other possibility is our Harvard attending friend Gretavo here, could also be the op. It seems all he is good for dividing and rousing suspicion. That's all you really do Gretavo. You certainly encourage and foster much of the factions and infighting between what are obviously ops over blogger and TA. As far as I can see, you really haven't done any real research and independent investigating. Your main focus is pointing fingers. With the attack on CIT, my guess is you are an op.
@Casseia. The gov't doesn't have any physical evidence either. Physical evidence exists in the physical world. CIT has more than those 13 north side witnesses if you've done your homework you would know this. You would also know these aren't just "any" witnesses. These are witnesses that would have a clean view of the approach on either side of the gas station from different and opposing vantage points. I mean really, between the Navy Annex, gas station, ANC, and Pentagon how many witnesses do you expect CIT to find and interview that would tell us where and how the plane flew????? CIT did a superior job and a logical one sussing out all those witnesses and proving where the plane flew.
I wouldn't doubt that there are ops on the board. I would be looking at the CIT attackers on here.
Personally if you look at the big picture many should be able to see that CIT has the most tangible and damaging piece(s) of evidence regarding 9/11 so I would be suspicious of anyone who repeatedly muddies CIT's water.
IE Gretavo, Kate of Kiosk who always attempts a hollow attack on CIT, and now Casseia who was a friend of Col Jenny Sparks who is not only a CIT attacker but TA member.If I remember correctly Casseia started out a supposed supporter of CIT, even giving dirt on "Sparks". Now out of nowhere and with 0 counter evidence she too is treading muddy water.
The idea is to keep everyone pointing fingers, so there is no trust. People are scared of the govt and naturally scared of ops. So if Gretavo or others say it enough, some may believe CIT are ops and would be scared to confront them on it or call them it. They will just rationalize that CIT and the evidence they uncovered are not viable.
I suppose I could list the things I've done...
but what's the point of playing "my commitment is bigger than yours" with an anonymous critic? I've done a great deal of research since 9/11, on which I base my observations. I have given MANY people the benefit of the doubt until they proved themselves (to my satisfaction) to be insincere. Like most honest truthers I have been taken in by hucksters like Jim Fetzer but once they reveal their true natures I have made a point of making it as difficult as possible for them to try to regain any credibility. I have come to distrust other, more subtle disinfo types like Victoria (Victronix) Ashley after years of evaluating both their own pronouncements and the company they keep. for my honesty and outspokenness I have been shunned by more people than I care to remember, which would bother me if 9/11 truth was merely a popularity contest. I have never been and never will be one to bend to the pressures of being in with the "cool crowd" - I have no need for praise and recognition and could care less what Abby, Dylan, Jon Gold, David Griffin, CIT, Alex Jones, or any other 9/11 "celebrities" think about me. Long before it was in vogue to talk about cognitive infiltration I took the alias Real Truther because it was so obvious to me that there were far too many fake truthers in the movement. Over the years I've tried to be very clear about what, to me, are indicators of insincerity on the part of any given truther. I think my track record has been pretty good, though I wouldn't claim infallibility, and I hope that in speaking out when I have it has helped others to do the same with less fear of being singled out as an enemy of unity or whatever. I will keep doing what I've been doing, and continue to work offline as I always have to share the best information about 9/11 with people. I expect that because I do continue, I will continue to be approached (online and in real life) by people who clearly would rather I not do what I do the way I do it. I can't imagine that a real truther wouldn't have to deal with exactly that, so I welcome it as a sign that I have been and still am more or less on the right track.
Is this Adam defending his CIT friends again?
"... if you look at the big picture many should be able to see that CIT has the most tangible and damaging piece(s) of evidence regarding 9/11"
Again, this is bullshit. Anyone who claims that CIT's 13 Pentagon and Department of the Army employee "witnesses" (who DO NOT support CIT's conclusions), are the "most tangible" pieces of evidence regarding 9/11 is DELIBERATELY attempting to undermine the credibility of the ENTIRE MOVEMENT.
OBVIOUSLY that claim is false.
Just like when Ventura puts that CIT "fly over" bullshit on the air pretending it represents the Truth movement, the commenter here is doing the exact same thing; trying to make our movement look ridiculous.
This commenter is either Adam, or Pat Curley... or some LIHOP shills who have been pretending to be truth advocates over the past several years.
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
don't get me started on Jesse Ventura
As I recall, Adam also stuck up for him, as do many on 911blogger. This after his TV show has seemingly done its best to make our cause look like run of the mill conspiracy mongering. This after he has VAN ROMERO of all people on his first show making some strange thermite/paint mixture to prove, well, nothing.
see: http://wtcdemolition.com/blog/node/2555
I still think there could have been a flyover, mind you...
...and I think it's entirely possible that CIT's job was to turn people off to the idea. It's total speculation of course, and I certainly don't have much faith in CIT's particular approach to proving it or even showing that it's plausible, but possible? sure.
in light of what's been happening
with mass animal deaths, was turned onto a Google map showing the sites of these mass deaths, then started thinking about HAARP again and found an interesting map displaying multiple arrays across the globe, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31204393&id=1232807107
then found a description of HAARP's capabilities http://ppjg.wordpress.com/2008/06/19/400/which led me to thinking about Raytheon who owns the patents along with the USAF and BAES...then the connection with raytheon and 911 and that led me to this very interesting raytheon-pentagon connection: http://www.rinf.com/columnists/news/raytheon-connection-to-9-11
substantial evidence
How about 'substantial evidence'? 13 corroborating witnesses place a jet on a flight path north of the CITGO. Unless there was another jet on the scene, what other explanation is there for the downed light poles accept that they were staged?
This is some of the most substantial evidence available to 9/11 Truth. It proves a deception beyond a reasonable doubt has taken place.
Someone please provide me with evidence that is 'more substantial' then 13 witnesses corroborating each other and proving that a deception has occurred? Is there any such evidence that exists for Controlled Demolition at the WTC?
ah... and there we have it, Jpass
Yes, those 13 "witnesses" put Flight 77 heading toward the Pentagon and hitting it. Very "substantial" evidence indeed. Thanks for that help getting us confused "conspiracy theorists" back in-line with the OCT.
"Is there any such evidence that exists for Controlled Demolition at the WTC?"
Oh, I don't know, let me see...
laws of physics perhaps?
History of steel framed building not collapsing due to fire?
iron rich spheres discovered by USGS and RJ Lee?
complete pulverization of everything inside the buildings?
lateral ejections of 6 ton columns over 600 feet?
complete destruction of Building 7 into it's own footprint?
advanced warnings of destruction of WTC 1, WTC 2, and WTC 7?
100s of witnesses who report "flashes" and "explosions"?
videos with explosion sounds in the background?
near free-fall acceleration of ALL the buildings?
hundreds of videos showing WTC 1 and 2 blowing up rather than falling down?
the fact that the world's leading explosive demolition company had people on-site at the WTC just minutes after the first plane hit the north tower and they DIDN'T LEAVE TILL THE CLEAN-UP WAS COMPLETE NEARLY A YEAR LATER...?
Any of this ringing a bell Jpass?
and if we hadn't been distracted by Steven Jones and his "thermite" distraction for some years now, we would have tested the dust at Ground Zero for explosive residue and could add that result to the growing list of evidence as well....
so, uh... yeah... I think there is more legitimacy in the evidence for controlled demolition than there is for CIT's "fly over" theory.
In fact, there is more evidence for controlled demolition than there is for Gregg Roberts' and Jim Hoffman's belief in the official story of what hit the Pentagon.
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
13 witnesses - low slow north of the citgo
Good examples of substantial evidence Willy. I'm not discounting the evidence of demolitions at the WTC. I'm merely calling 13 witnesses testifying they saw a jet on a path different then the officially reported path as 'substantial evidence'.
"Yes, those 13 "witnesses" put Flight 77 heading toward the Pentagon and hitting it."
Willy, what do you infer from the 13 witnesses who placed the plane north of the citigo?
Do you believe they really saw a plane flying low and slow and north of the citgo? Or did all 13 witnesses get together and fabricate this story with CIT?
ummm, let's see...
Do I think that they could come up with 13 Pentagon and Department of the Army employees who would draw a line on a piece of paper claiming they think they saw Flight 77 hit the Pentagon on Sept. 11th 2001 when they know that there was a huge movement questioning that very fact?
uh... yes?
I "infer" from the entire CIT thing, that the point of all of this is, as Cass Sunstein suggested, is to "help" us "conspiracy theorists" back to the "right" way of thinking...
and to them, that is, that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.
Which is exactly what your precious 13 witnesses said. Which is exactly what you are supporting by supporting the validity of the "13 witnesses"
I notice that in all of these comments, you say very little about "fly overs"... in fact, you seem more focused on the viability of the "13 witnesses" than much else.
Well, the "13 witnesses" of yours claim Flight 77 hit the Pentagon and they don't say it flew over it.
So what does that tell you?
Of course, I am an old school Truth advocate... I tend to believe that if Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, one might just happen to SEE a piece of it, like a wing or a tail section lying somewhere near the building. I also think we might have a few pics of HUNDREDS of seats and luggage and a big 100 ton airplane SOMEWHERE in that little office....
but that's just me.
Maybe there might even be some of those massive 7 ton titanium engines lying around somewhere to be found.
but that's just me.
for that matter, it probably wouldn't have dropped off the radar, unlike ANY OTHER HIJACKED PLANE that day...
but that's just me. I tend to put things together like that and then remember those interesting facts later.
So to that end... what do I "infer" from your "13 witnesses" who constitute more "substantial evidence" that what we have for controlled demolition?
I infer nothing.

These are not 'my precious witnesses'. These are witnesses who's testimony is valuable whether you or I like it or not. You can't cherry pick your evidence based on what it supports.
My question was not what you infer about the "CIT THING". Obviously you and I defined "THE CIT THING" very differently. My question was what you infer regarding the testimony of the 13 witnesses who place the plane north of the citgo?
It's obvious you do not feel the 13 witnesses are valid and you've concluded CIT and the evidence they've gathered are part of a Sunstein PSYOP the government is creating in order to get trick 911 Truth activists into believing the official lie.
So this is pointless.
You seem to have immovable bias on this issue. You won't even consider that CIT are legitimate researchers / activists and you won't even consider that the eyewitness testimony is legitimate.
There is nothing gained by pitting witnesses at the Pentagon against witnesses at the WTC. The argument is that the eyewitness testimony CIT has gathered should be included in the larger body of evidence the 911 Truth movement uses to show that 911 was a true deception.
right... and their testimony is that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon
"These are not 'my precious witnesses'. These are witnesses who's testimony is valuable whether you or I like it or not. You can't cherry pick your evidence based on what it supports."
Talk about cherry picking evidence. Their "valuable" testimony is that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.
"The argument is that the eyewitness testimony CIT has gathered should be included in the larger body of evidence the 911 Truth movement uses to show that 911 was a true deception."
Right. As far as LIHOP goes, that is pretty much their credo in a nutshell. Just a little round-a-bout way of marketing it to us... but in the end, they get there just the same.
However, I think I could find 13 Pentagon and Department of the Army "witnesses" who would say without being under oath, that ray beams from space took out the Pentagon, or that someone shot it with an earthquake weapon.
You think those "witnesses" mean something? I think it just goes to prove how far they will go to undermine our little unofficial investigation... and to me... that tells me I am on the right path.
If you wish to believe the Pentagon, be my guest.
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
cherry picker
I'm willing and ready to consider all the evidence no matter where it takes me. That is what I'm doing right now. I'm considering evidence and sharing information. Just as I have done since 2002 concerning things like controlled demolition.
You are encouraging others not to look at valuable evidence and your reasoning goes beyond healthy paranoia. Your logic would have us ignoring practically all valuable witnesses to the crime. Just the fact they worked at the CITGO which served only Pentagon employees deems them not worthy? OMG...they worked at the Arlington Cemetery...they can't be trusted!!! That's how it works right?
CIT has gathered eyewitness testimony that could and should be used in court. You can't provide a single worthy reason to exclude it. Excluding it, encouraging others to exclude it, accusing people of being government agents and such...without a single thread of evidence is not right. Your cherry picking evidence because it doesn't jive with your beliefs.
I encourage everyone to look at everything
I know you were responding to WL, but I want to be clear where I stand re: CIT. I personally have serious misgivings about them and their eyewitnesses. I would, however, encourage people to check out their work and add it to their personal body of info on 9/11. When the time comes for full disclosure, I will certainly want all the info CIT collected on the record--everyone they interviewed and everyone else claiming to be an eyewitness should submit depositions under oath describing what they witnessed. And if it ever becomes clear that any of them lied about what they witnessed then they should be subjected to the appropriate penalties. Unfortunately, the entire body of eyewitnesses to what happened at the Pentagon is suspect. They are, as a whole, highly contradictory and of very little use, in my opinion.
All of the 13 witesses used
All of the 13 witesses used by CIT were directly,and emotionally involved in the 9/11 event.This means that they would have all been exposed to a Flash bulb memory,a snapshot that would be distinctly vivid, precise, concrete and long-lasting.That 13 people would have the exact same snapshot of exactly the same event is an impossibility,end of story.
Another point on how our brains work is summed up by the case study of Cromberg et al. (1996).The Amsterdam plane crash was used as a test case which resulted in 55% of people who claimed to have witnessed the plane impact,had not.Bartlett et al conclude that we have to make sense of events in order to put it into our own schema's.A perfect example would be to see a low flying aircraft followed by an explosion and connect the two events or seeing a low flying aircraft and later witnessing downed lightpoles and connecting the two.
On 9/11 I can recall where I was when I heard what was happening.I remember what I was wearing,who I was talking to,even what I had in my hand,an 8.5mm drill bit.I bet that every person on this forum can remember their own snapshot.These snapshots are stored in your memory on one occasion and retained for a lifetime.
Look through the CIT work again and you can only deduce that the 13 witnesses of flight path were where they said they were and saw what they said they saw,the plane North of the Citgo.This evidence should not and cannot be dismissed in such a puerile way because their eye witness testimony could and would be used in any court of law.The witnesses to the plane impact have a 55% chance of being tricked by their own minds and the testimony would be practically worthless.
The last point is were the 13 witnesses lying? if they were they are the best liars I have ever seen.
No.. JPASS... their statements don't jive with the EVIDENCE
Flight 77 dropped off the radar
Flight 77 was not tracked back to Washington
There is not evidence of Flight 77 in the debris
the video stills show something small and low across the lawn
the engines are gone
not enough luggage if any
not enough seats if any
witness who walked through that area saw no plane wreckage
other witnesses reported seeing a small "business type" jet
starting to get the picture yet, JPASS? That is evidence... not UNSWORN STATEMENTS from PENTAGON employees and contractors... who don't even agree on the flight path... and they CERTAINLY don't agree with CIT and the fly over theory.
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
starting to get the picture
So you are saying 13 people either simultaneously imagined a large jet flying by or these 13 witnesses are helping to cover up the crime of 911 by participating in a deception and lying about what they saw that day?
Their statements don't fit the evidence...
obviously
now, if it serves your purposes to try and draw conclusions, that is for you to do. I do not think their statements are consistent with the readily available evidence. You can spin that anyway you want. Whatever serves your purposes. But I have made it clear through-out all of this, that there is evidence, stronger evidence, of controlled demolition, and there is no strong evidence of Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon. Draw your own conclusions.
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
gotcha
So which is it? They imagined a big plane or they are all in on it? They were all paid off 5 years before the crime maybe?
It's far fetched but I guess 911 is far fetched to begin with.
see, here's the problem i see, JPass...
once we accept that the lampposts could have been staged to suggest the approach of a plane, it's really not much of a stretch to suppose that alleged eyewitness testimony could also have been staged to suggest the approach of a plane. My own suspicion is that there was never any plane, that it was an elaborate setup including with false radar injects ("the blip is 50 miles out, sir, do the orders still stand?") and that the eyewitnesses to a plane flying into the Pentagon are all lying, if they are real people. David Chandler probably has far too much faith in his fellow man to dismiss, for example, the testimony given in the library of congress archive. I do not. I am not surprised it was decided to archive these testimonies since they would not otherwise be collected under oath and on the record in a court of law. Yes, my default assumption is that everything about 9/11 was faked until it's proven to my satisfaction that it wasn't. Planes were flown into the twin towers. Absent better proof, I do not believe these were AA11 and UA175, and I do not believe that AA77 and UA93 crashed as per the official story. I do believe that explosives were used to bring down the wtc, but I don't know exactly what kind. I refuse to let incredulity (of the scope of the deception) allow the OCT any ground at all. The official claims ALL require extraordinary evidence for me to consider them true, because of the clear evidence that some of it was blatantly falsified in a way that is hard for people to believe.
"once we accept that the
After watching CIT's National Security Alert 2 more times, my gut tells me these people are not lying. The 13 witness all place the plane on a path north of the CITGO. The likely possibility is that they really did see a plane flying slow, low and north of the citgo. Sure they could all be lying but until someone shows me evidence of this I will assume they are legit witnesses who place the jet on a path different then what the official data shows. In other words, it proves a deception has taken place at the Pentagon.
Also, some of the witnesses in CIT's National Security Alert said they would testify under oath.
Have you watch National Security Alert?
donald Rumsfeld testified under oath...
so did Condi Rice.
"The future is not inherited, it is achieved." JFK
Yeah, but it wasn't an
Yeah, but it wasn't an investigation of them.
yes, I watched it a while back
And my first impression, honestly, was "why are these people even giving CIT the time of day?" I also wondered why Lloyd England the cabbie still had the damn cab parked next to his house in pretty much the state it was in on 9/11. And a few other things. yes, as I listened to what their witnesses had to say i was inclined to believe they were telling the truth and that CIT were onto something. since then, though, after observing both sides of the pro/anti CIT dialogue, it starting seeming very fishy to me and I decided that CIT would get no more benefit of the doubt than the OCT with all of it's alleged witnesses. As far as I'm concerned, something obviously exploded at the Pentagon, but the claim that that something was AA77 crashing into it has no hard, incontrovertible evidence to back it up. I also think that the amount of time and energy wasted on debating CIT has been to the detriment of the truth movement. I am all for shelving CIT's findings and considering them at a more appropriate time, which would imo be after the general public is aware of the massive lies surrounding the destruction of the WTC, or at some time when there is something more to bring to the discussion than what has already been brought. I see no reason to play the game of Which Pentagon Eyewitnesses are Wrong or Lying.
Shelving Evidence? No way.
"I am all for shelving CIT's findings and considering them at a more appropriate time, which would imo be after the general public is aware of the massive lies surrounding the destruction of the WTC"
Now you're taking a play out of Jon Gold's play book.
I'm against shelving any evidence at any time for any reason. I want the truth right now. All of it. And what about those of us that have been around for a while? We are years ahead of the General Population. How long would you have us wait for the information? When I say 'us' I'm really referring to all visitors to your website.
My problem is not that you and Willy don't consider the evidence CIT has collected as valuable and worthy of presentation. I can understand that debate, although I don't think you've won that one.
What goes on here is beyond that and a different matter all together. Visitors are encouraged to stay away from CIT and their findings. CIT are, by some, assumed to be part of the cover-up and accused of working for Cas Sunstein to undermine the 911 Truth movement. And no one really cares that two 911 Truth activists are openly being thrown under the bus with no evidence to back up the accusations. As far as we know, these two guys (CIT) who, like you, put their asses on the line. Like Willy, they've put their real identities on their work. There should be a basic level of respect and camaraderie that exists between activists.
No activist should have to prove he's not an agent working against the 911 Truth movement.
By the fruits of their labor is how you will know them right?
The information for controlled demolition at the WTC Complex is readily available. There are non-profits set up around the issue, there are constant stream of seminars and presentations around the world about it by well known authors and activists, there are architects and engineers behind it as well as demolition experts, campaigns driven by 911 Survivors..the issue is easily the top 911 Truth issue and has been for years.
I agree with Jpass
No one here has made any convincing or reasonable arguments as to why the evidence compiled and published by CIT should be shelved and ignored.
Gretavo asserts that all the hullabaloo over CIT must be because CIT are part of some sort of intentional distraction and diversion op. I haven't really seen any convincing arguments for this interpretation. Rather, what seems FAR more likely to me is that the reason for all the hullabaloo over CIT and the Pentagon is because the PTB are much more worried about the Pentagon deception being uncovered than the WTC deception. The ongoing cover-up efforts over the Pentagon since day one, WELL BEFORE CIT ENTERED THE SCENE, tells me that the Pentagon puzzle must be a key, if not THE key to the whole 9/11 operation, or that the truth of the Pentagon attack must be the most dangerous truth that must not be exposed. All of the massive efforts from day one to plant false witnesses and confiscate all the videos, to put out manipulated video frames, the parade of all the many fake LIHOP Johns and Mikes trying to lead the truth movement astray and attempt to prop up the OCT of the Pentagon attack, and to attack and harass all those who are working on exposing the deception at the pentagon convince me that the truth to be uncovered at the Pentagon must be at least as important as the truth to be uncovered at the WTC. Or, to put it another way, the more the PTB and the fakes try to tell me not to look too closely at the Pentagon issue, the more I think we SHOULD look more closely at the Pentagon issue.
Another thing that is important to remind people of is that CIT has also done extensive research on the physical evidence at the Pentagon, not just the eyewitness evidence. I think it is unfortunate that CIT decided to not promote the physical evidence research very much in comparison with the eyewitness side of things, but it is obvious looking at all the threads at the CIT forum related to physical evidence that there is a huge body of valuable physical evidence research they have compiled.
The physical evidence that could prove what DID happen at the Pentagon was removed by the PTB, but the physical evidence that remained is the kind that proves what DIDN'T happen at the Pentagon. Until we obtain some of the evidence that the PTB are withholding, such as the many videos that would show us once and for all what happened the Pentagon, the only alternative is to attempt to find honest eyewitnesses to what actually happened. That is what CIT set out to do with their trips to Arlington. The original list of 103 witnesses from unverified and incomplete media mined snippits are hopelessly contradictory and, as it would turn out, are almost entirely worthless due to the fact that virtually all of them were either 1) misquoted by the media and assumed to have seen things they either didn't or couldn't, 2) not in a position to actually see the Pentagon wall where the alleged plane it, 3) gave contradictory and impossible accounts that destroy their credibility, 4) are completely lacking in credibility because of holding positions too close to the primary suspects involved in the crime/cover-up, etc. So, CIT set out to go beyond these problematic witnesses handed to us by the government and media and to see if there were people who were not contaminated in such a way. Focusing on the area around the final approach to the Pentagon of the alleged attack plane, which would be the only area where witnesses could have possibly seen either the side of the Pentagon in the area of the alleged impact, and/or the final approach that the object would have had to take, is what would make the most sense. It's the only area where witnesses could have seen what DID happen.
So, it is perfectly understandable why CIT chooses to promote the body of evidence of the 13 or so witnesses who all corroborate an NoC approach (along with the witnesses who reported seeing a plane fly away right afterwords and the witnesses who reported that the plane "kept going"), which seem to point to what DID happen, rather than, or much more significant than the physical evidence which only points to what DIDN'T happen. You can argue whether or not it is more important to focus on what DIDN't happen vs what DID happen, and many people seem to differ on this issue, but that is a different discussion, albeit an important one, for both the Pentagon as well as the WTC crime scene.
One other important point that needs to be mentioned is that CIT has NEVER asserted that the plane that flew over was AA77, or that the flyover plane flew the path of AA77 all the way from Ohio, as some falsely claim. That is a straw man argument. Rather, CIT asserts that "A" plane that was apparently a twin engine jet that was perhaps intended to convince people it was AA77 is the plane that flew over the Pentagon, timed with the pre-planted explosives.
The "obnoxious" argument does not cut it for me, Gretavo. If you are going to argue that, "well, so and so are obnoxious, therefore they must be shills/fakes/ops/whatever, then you must realize that you are implicating yourself, as the average person in the truth movement would probably agree that you could certainly be considered one of the most obnoxious persons in the truth movement, particularly by the way you seem to consistently argue that, "if you don't agree 100% with what I believe than you are a _________. Are you trying to tell us that you, yourself, are an op, Gretavo? If not, then I really wonder if you are incapable of realizing how hypocritical you look to other people when you attempt to use the "obnoxious" argument against others, and the fact that many people will dismiss it as a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Sure, out of context (like, disregarding all of the provocations and vicious, incessant attacks against CIT by many who most of us consider LIHOP frauds, etc.), CIT could be seen as obnoxious.
But, by the same token, out of context (like, disregarding all of the BS you were responding to and the way you were treated by many who most of us consider LIHOP frauds, etc), Gretavo could be seen as extremely obnoxious. Although the speed with which you designate people as enemies in your baby with the bathwater approach is breathtakingly fast.
My gut tells me that neither CIT nor Gretavo are fakes. But the well has been so poisoned at this point, it's just sad...very sad.
if you really believe this...
..."The ongoing cover-up efforts over the Pentagon since day one, WELL BEFORE CIT ENTERED THE SCENE, tells me that the Pentagon puzzle must be a key, if not THE key to the whole 9/11 operation, or that the truth of the Pentagon attack must be the most dangerous truth that must not be exposed."
...and it's a point of view I am very sympathetic to (will provide the links to prior discussions in a moment) then you might like I do feel that CIT has not actually done the cause many favors by having people fixate on one specific point--the method of deception. It's like arguing about whether it was regular thermite or nanothermite used in the towers' demolition. As i've repeated many times, we should be arguing that until the evidence of AA77 or any large Boeing having crashed at the Pentagon is produced, we should default to agnosticism leaning towards skepticism of it having happened at all. The flyover hypothesis is intriguing and possible but is not a slam dunk given that it's based, like the contradictory official version, on the testimony of eyewitnesses not in court, not under oath, in a world where the number of people willing to lie to protect the official conspiracy theory is apparently quite high. CIT has accomplished little beyond getting the truth movement to waste time arguing and now have even pushed a seemingly good, honest guy like David Chandler into an unfortunate position verging on acceptance of the OCT wrt the Pentagon. By their fruits, people--BY THEIR FRUITS!
that is a good point
Personally, I feel that the truth movement should lead with the evidence that is most incontrovertible, which is the evidence that everyone can see with their own eyes. At the WTC, it is the video evidence which proves that the towers did not fall due to fires or plane impacts. At the Pentagon, it is the physical evidence that proves that no large jetliner crashed there.
Proving what EXACTLY happened or exactly HOW it was done requires us to trust either experts with letters after their names and/or who have special expertise, or eyewitnesses who are subject to being tricked, manipulated, or even planted. While such information does not necessarily have to be mistrusted, it nevertheless is always going to be inferior evidence to the first category because there is always the possibility that we are being led down the garden path or are being led astray.
If I were CIT, I would be leading more with the physical evidence. I think the best strategy is to first present the hard core physical evidence, which they have, that proves that the OCT is false. Then, for people who are interested, I would include the eyewitness evidence which points to a flyover.
In a similar way, the best approach for the WTC crime scene is to lead with the evidence that we don't need a special degree or trust in others with special expertise to determine the truth, such as determining what exact kind of thermite/thermate/nanothermite, etc. While I am still convinced that some form of thermite was used, I agree that for the purposes of credibility and for avoiding being hoaxed or led down the garden path, that we should not be leading with the thermite argument.
I think that is the biggest point of agreement on which we can all come together here at WTCD.
part of the puzzle, but not in any way definitive
I'm glad we can agree to disagree, but also as important to agree to agree where we can. I do not know for a fact that CIT are dishonest/up to no good. I've said that this is my gut feeling and that is something that I feel is important to share. I apologize PROFUSELY if I in the process cast suspicion on anyone who is actually honest--this includes people like Jon Gold, believe it or not. What I hope we don't fall for is the idea that we should never voice any suspicions about anyone in the movement just because they are, on the surface, interested in the truth as much as everyone else. Obviously this isn't the case, and we will naturally disagree, perhaps often, about who should and should not be trusted. Most people on this site would agree that some of the people in charge of 911blogger are less interested in the whole truth than in promoting their own limited hangout version of the truth. Some people on other sites might well say the same thing about WTCD. I have said before and will repeat that I encourage people to check out CIT's work, my own opinion of it and them notwithstanding. People SHOULD be aware that there are witnesses who put the plane on a course inconsistent with that of the official story. But that's just one piece of a large and complex puzzle that sits atop a disinfo minefield, and I would be remiss if I didn't point that out. If I didn't state openly what a lot of people don't like being stated--that MANY people have been lying for years about 9/11, and it just isn't good enough to say "well, they seem honest and it's unlikely that they could get X number of people to help them fabricate a lie" because that is precisely the mindset that keeps people from seeing the most obvious cases of fraud like the WTC demolitions. The Pentagon case seems like an obvious fraud to me but I understand that others might disagree, so why not spend more of our energy protecting the integrity of the research that gives us the best chance of opening peoples' minds? That's all. I would actually prefer NOT to have to argue that any given person might be an agent. If we've gotten to that point it seems to me that it's because the physical evidence just isn't conclusive enough.
You are right on the mark, Jpass
There is absolutely no evidence for CIT being operatives or disinfo. It is so illogical. Why would the gov't or perps execute a major flaw in the flight path and then have two ops or a bunch of paid ops go and expose the flaw?????? Then spend time energy and operative resources trying to contain it or dissuade people from looking at it. Makes no sense. And operatives make no sense. They engage in illogical, bizarre, contradicting and counter productive behavior. They would probably have some connections to the military, intelligence, gov't, possibly even Ivy league schooling like Yale and oh say, Harvard. John Bursill lost a debate against Craig, conceded he lost and said he would not attack CIT but then goes back out and continues attacking CIT(and PFT) and spreading the same disinfo. Sure enough if you look at his bio, he was a Sargent in the Oz Army Reserve in Intelligence Operations. I read he even arranged a protest in front of police HQ which has two way mirrored windows to the street. Seems exactly what an op would be doing. They always seem to be activists, organizers don't they? Well CIT seem to be citizen investigators, not entirely activists. CIT has never engaged in backwards logic counter productive behavior. CIT has instead uncovered evidence proving an inside job and done nothing but try to get more evidence, and then get even more evidence and then get that evidence to the forefront of the movement.And obviously they have verifiable histories and no ties that would qualify them as possible operatives.
And if you all have been paying attention there are more than 13 eyewitnesses to the north side path and there is also Roosevelt Roberts and Erik Dihle's account. You have Lloyde England in his cryptic confession of involvement.The fact is you don't even need flyover witnesses to know there was a flyover. The north path proves it alone. Furthermore, even if you stubbornly and illogically refuse a flyover the witnesses, and by extension CIT, prove an inside job conspiracy with the staging of the cab and the light poles. Anyone who can go after CIT for proving an inside job or rather anyone who can DISTRACT FROM the fact that CIT proved an inside job (see Gretavo and co.) should be considered possible operatives themselves. These witnesses are all in different and opposing vantage points and they all place the plane on the same path.The same path which even conflicts with their already sloppy, problematic, fake black box data/animation. I don't even think they took the topography/obstacles into consideration when planning the event. Without CIT we wouldn't have even known what a problem the topography/obstacles posed for their concocted story. They know people are gullible and believe whatever they are told so they probably didn't think people would match their story against the topography and obstacles. Power of persuasion is everything, right Gretavo?
Since we are playing the guessing game, Gretavo. Isn't it possible the CIA recruited you out of Harvard? Maybe they chose you because oh say one of your parents is a US diplomat. I know Craig and Aldo didn't go to Harvard and don't have a parent that is a US diplomat.
everything you say...
...reinforces to me the suspicion that Bursill and CIT might well be "ops" who have been working to frame the debate in specific ways. You say in re: CIT "And obviously they have verifiable histories and no ties that would qualify them as possible operatives." Really? Where exactly are their exhaustive bios spelled out such that you could assert this, and how do we know those are their real bios, and that their real names are even Craig and Aldo? We don't, of course. As for myself, I have been open enough about my own background such that people have become privy to the fact that I went to Harvard and that my dad was a U.S. diplomat (now retired). You are free to infer from these facts that I may be a "deep cover" CIA asset, as one particular individual made it his life's work to claim all over the internet, or you might infer that the operation in this case was aimed at giving activists reasons to distrust me, for example when I spent years trying to get the peace group at Harvard to consider the case for explosives at the twin towers: http://wtcdemolition.com/hipj/ So which is the agent here, the guy arguing respectfully for explosives in the towers or the physics grad student claiming the opposite?
I see now, in fact, that in a thread trying to rehabilitate the anti-controlled demolition LIHOPper John Judge, SnowCrash has quoted Bollyn on my rumored CIA ties. Again I ask, who in all this cast of characters seem like ops? The former no-planers? The LIHOPpers? The racist? Or me--the son of a US diplomat who went to Harvard (for shame!!)
Ruh roh... I think you went too far
Pointing out the contrived nature of the CIT/anti-CIT debate was apparently beyond the pale, gretavo. You freaked SnowCrash out! That's some grade-A snitch-jacketing.

Gordon Duff now has 'sources' from within the ADL who say;
“If we had Wikileaks up to speed, the Goldstone Report would
never have been heard of at all. There isn’t anything that can’t be
covered up by a Julian Assange scandal. I just hope something doesn’t
come up where it gets so serious that Assange will have to be
assassinated. He is really a loveable dupe.”
Wow
... truth tellers/leakers within the ADL. Who would have thunk it?
Amazing! The internal investigation must have already begun. Better
watch the news for an ADL employee suicide or a body found floating in a
river.
Just don't question Gordon on this. He will delete the comments.

anon, your comment went to the blogger/google spam bucket for some
reason. I had to manually post it. This seems to be happening quite
often. Please let me know if it happens again because even though the
comments show up in my email, I may overlook that they're not in the
post.
Thanks Les. Good smack upside the head to Assange and Foxman in your latest post.

Forget Assange and his $1,500,000 corporate book deal (some rebel, what a

Deceived II” by E.A. Blayre III.

Anyone who claims to have "sources" inside the ADL is either an Israeli intelligence asset himself or else a certifiable loon.
Duff just forfeited whatever credibility he ever had.

That is interesting on VT as in the past I have had a lot of comments
disappear over there. Lately they don't post and even more strange I
can't read the other comments. The top of the page will denote 34
comments or so and when I open it, there are no comments.
GD says it is not him however, they have a lot of trouble but who knows.

VT has a few good articles from time to time, even some great ones
occasionally,and even some from Duff, but Duff is not to be trustet. Not
that anyone in this line of activism is but Duff in particular just
seems......off.
And yes, he has personally censored people,
including myself. He can blame the site all he wants, I know for a fact
he has engaged in heavy censorship and Im glad this blog and others are
taking note of it.

If Gordon Duff is more than peripherally connected to Bud Burrell of
Arizona(by way of Agora Inc and Lila Rajiva),who lies and threatens my
life on thesanitycheck dot con website for calling his penny stock
scams,CMKX,USXP,etc., illegal pumps and dumps then we have a British and
Rothschild connection in his 'international bank advisor' connections.
Also
has anyone noticed besides me that VT and Gordon Duff's new 'reporter'
Gilad Atzmon, that anti-semite semite,(I know I'm joking and he's really
a white guy impersonating a semite),has the very same last name is
stock fraudster and 9/11 mass murder suspect of ICTS International,
named Menachem Atzmon.The Israeli Shin Beit oys of ICTS International
and their Huntleigh airport rent-a-cops,(that they took over along with
contracts to protect Logan Boston and Newark airports through their ICTS
International stock fraud) who were never questioned after 9/11 are
also the ones who 'accidentally' allowed Richard Reid the 'shoe bomber'
to fly from DeGualle Paris to U.S.just after 9/11/01 and more recently
the 'crotch bomber' on flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit with his
so-called 'crotch bomb'.
Also one rumor that floats on VT is Duff is
'Islamic' and another is that his mother is Jewish.Any truth to either ?
He has never commented to my knowledge.Gilad Atzmon is a very strange
character and stranger still if he is related to Menachem Atzmon and has
never disclosed.ICTS is even blamed by some for the London bombings of
July 7,2005.Atzmon wrote about that but never mentioned his presumed
Zionist relative mobney launderer(convicted in Israel)and 9/11 murder
suspect.
And yes Gordon Duff censors me for sure because of my leak
of his email to me saying he has ex CIA STOCK FRAUDSTER AND MONEY
LAUNDERER George Tenet 'on speed dial'.Also is his flight 253 articles
earlier this year he mentioned ICTS International of course but made no
mention of Menachem Atzmon et.al..
Coincidence ?

BWAHAHA! Thanks for that kenny, I knew he would dump the comment. What a
damn coward, he wont answer about his shilling for obvious fraud Sibel
Edmonds. There is no good reason and that coupled with his censorship,
not to mention the example you provided above about his "ADL sources"
provide ample evidence that he and possibly the entire site(is it his
site?) is compromised in some way.
I posted a link to this story
but of course that was placed in moderation and never even showed up.
Hopefully a few people caught the comment before it was sent down the
memory hole by the heavy handed coward Duff.

I commented here previously with the Sibel Edmonds Anonymous poster who
had been deleted at VT. I've noticed multiple times since then that
comments which challenge Duff's motives are inevitably removed. Sad to
say but I think there is an agenda he's working, otherwise why not look
less guilty and defend yourself? Such blatant image sanitizing of his
comment section doesn't bode well. And I really had started off thinking
he might be the catalyst that we could all galvanize behind- the right,
left and center. I also don't believe he writes all his own pieces. A
true investigative journalist would give at least some substantive
responses in the comments section, to clarify or expound upon the issue
in question. He never does. It's always just abbreviated answers, short
humorous quips, a vague offer of proof by attributing the information to
his most reliable but unnamed, untitled sources. There's never an
informed, personalized connection he exhibits with his supposed
writings. He more tends to deflect than engage when he comments. And the
spelling and grammatical errors even there make me question his status
as a professional writer. Count me among the doubters. I'm really sad to
feel that way, he had such promise.

I refuse to believe, as some do, that every Jew on the face of the Earth is some back-stabbing thief, drenched in blood.
For if that were true, then all Americans could be classified as back-stabbing thieves, drenched in blood.
Since the latter is not true, neither is the former.
Maybe VT does have a source inside the ADL.
We should be supporting the work VT has done to get out 9/11 Truth, and not sounding like some "Megaphonies."
P.S. I too had trouble posting comments at VT and sent an email asking why?
Got
a reply that VT had a list of words, call them 'dual-use' if you want
to, that was set up to automatically refuse to post that comment if
certain 'dual-use' words were used or some comments were deleted after
posting by that software matrix.
Let's keep fighting one another
and casting doubts on others trying to shine a light on 9/11 and the
REAL perps will keep laughing their asses off while they ride to the
bank.
Our enslaved kids and grandkids will thank us for that.

Greg, calling out disinfo is vital to winning. If we do not fight back
against the frauds within then those frauds will control the narrative
from within. It is a given that there will be plants/moles/agents etc.
in our midst. Do we just give everyone a pass and hope for the best? Or
should we demand better when people like Duff engage in suspicious
activities like promoting Sibel"the hijackers are real! Really!" Edmonds
and censoring even mildly critical comments/questions? I say the
latter. I'm not talking a witch hunt here but when you engage in rampant
censorship you better explain why.
I love your site by the way.

And for the record, I'm not prepared to say Duff is absolutely some sort
of disinfo tool but unless and until he explains his protection of
Sibel,his weird articles like the one above and his censorship practices
I will continue to be highly skeptical of his motives. Again, I say
this as someone who urged kenny to add VT to his blog roll. There are no
sacred cows, nobody should get a pass.

Greg, I agree there can be a tendency to be hyper-critical and overly
suspicious and that's not good. I am also grateful for much of what Duff
and others at VT have exposed. What does activate my distrust though is
censoring. That's what drove us all to the internet in the first place.
I don't like to have someone decide for me what ideas or opinions I can
be exposed to and I don't believe for a second that the large number of
deleted comments at Duff's site are due to software glitches. They are
deleted due to content that is either unflattering to him or questioning
of a perceived ulterior motive. If he even ignored them it would imply
more integrity than banishing them from view. How can someone be an
agent for truth and have right above the VT comment box "Tell us what
you think" and then edit out the ones you don't like? I'll still read
Duff for what value I can get out of it, but my faith in him has been
diminished.

I understand and respect your position Greg. But I still feel
questioning is important. AJ has brought many around to 9/11 but that
hasn't stopped you, me and many others from questioning some of his
motives and omissions.
Some of us have been known that 9/11 was a
false flag since day one with our only goal being finding the truth and
getting justice. We've also seen the infiltration of the movement at
every turn. Skepticism and questioning have been our main tools so maybe
we shouldn't abandon them just yet. Agree to disagree at times and try
to keep the divide and conquer technique at bay. We still have 'hope'
that the truth will win out in the end.

I am all for the decent articles Duff puts out, I will link them. He has done some good over there.
I
was posting a spiel on Carol Duff's medical site, she is nurse and I
was delving into Natural news and the nightmare concerning vaccines. She
is a typical nurse said I was doing more harm than good. Now if you are
working in medicine and posting on a VA site naturally that is the main
place they are going to shoot you up with vaccines, I can see the
hesitancy.
She finally began blocking my posts and said she was going to have any more of it.
I
will link a rense article from time to time also as long as I agree
with it and it is not some flap from the BBC. Take a pebble where you
find it.
I can't understand not talking about the gulf though.
Some believe they are blackmailing and can restore the gulf stream
again as soon as everybody is all aboard with the NWO. Don't know it it
is true but somebody needs to be talking about it.

I
don't believe every Jew on the face of the Earth is a scumbag, but as
far as the Jews who work for the ADL are concerned.....YES, I DO BELIEVE
ALL OF THOSE JEWS ARE SCUMBAGS.
You obviously want us to believe
that there are a few decent people inside the ADL and that Gordon Duff
somehow managed to find them and enlist their aid, right?
Sorry, not buying it.
I don't believe in fairy tales (or 'amazing tales' as Kenny calls them) and that's what Duff is peddling here.

I think this discussion is very valuable on a couple of fronts. I have
enjoyed many of Duff’s articles and he has firmly placed an
uncomfortable spotlight on many of Israhell’s activities. He is also a
spook.
He freely admits that he was in that line of work and
still has many friends and connections in the various US and foreign
agencies. There is no such thing as a former spook. They can ‘retire’,
go freelance or get religion but the leopard cannot change its spots.
There is always an agenda.
I prefer to take what I find useful
and build upon it and move on. For that reason I don’t trust Gilad
Atzmon, Makow and many other writers. When discussing the Israhelli
menace we must always be wary of players with feet in both camps.

I don't think someone should have the "divide and conquer" label pinned

December 30, 2010 11:06 PM
Yep, Duff is a fraud.
I posted a few of the "anonymous" comments above. I was banned from VT in large part because I questioned Sibel Edmonds and questioned Duff about his blind support of her(all of my questions were subsequently deleted and went unanswered). The guy came out of nowhere, I'm assuming that "Gordon Duff" is not even his real name.
i'll go even farther
It's interesting that the Rock Creek Free Press helped precipitate the recent CIT vs. the (9/11 truth) World operation by publishing the attack piece against 9/11 Blogger described here by Gregg Roberts, who swipes our very own honoray motto from Nietzsche for his intro... http://911blogger.com/news/2010-12-28/debating-what-hit-pentagon-exagger...
As you can see from the comments, RCFP was something that was heavily promoted by the very same fake truthers that are currently crying foul. Remember the other mantra we like to quote around here--"ostensible diversity masking actual uniformity". Tactics as old as deception itself, because they WORK. Jon Gold, for example, who spent quite a bit of time boycotting 911Blogger as "the site that shall not be named" is now once again happily posting away. And plugging the "9/11 news site run by veterans of the movement", as if there weren't already enough fake truth "news" outlets!

"The real 800 pound gorilla in the US lobbying system is the veterans groups...27 million people that's money AND votes...The great fear of AIPAC is that someone will tap into the veterans organizations, because this is the one lobby which can make them history." - Dr. Alan Sabrosky, former Director of Studies of US Army War College
The 911 Truth Movement in 2011 is ready to move forward in 2011. 3000 of our fellow Americans were murdered in cold blood, and we don't know by whom. We do know who didn't do it, at least not alone. As former German Defense Minister Andreas Von Bulow has written in his book "The CIA and September 11":
"Planning the attacks was a master deed, in technical and organizational terms. To hijack four big airliners within a few minutes and fly them into targets within a single hour and doing so on complicated flight routes! That is unthinkable, without backing from the secret apparatuses of state and industry." Tagesspiegel, 13. Jan. 2002
A Zogby poll as far back as 2006 shows that 42% of Americans think the 911 Commission was "cover up," and the truth movement has only spread since then, with a TV ad featuring 911 survivors pleading with the nation to give their relatives justice. We can stop arguing over whether the Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) is plausible. It is not. The reams of inconsistencies, improbabilities, and impossibilities need not be gone over again here. Suffice it to say only that the official conspiracy theory is impossible according to the laws of physics, which show not enough fuel in the form of kerosene (jet fuel) and office furniture was present, burning under the right conditions, to sufficiently weaken the steel. The Building 7 story is even more impossible, if that can be...
Statement: DHS Sec. Napolitano on Lieberman’s Retirement
Of course, she's glad to see him go. He was the only one around with a head bigger than hers.
Statement by Secretary Napolitano on Senator Lieberman’s Retirement
January 19, 2011
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano released a statement regarding Senator Lieberman’s retirement accrediting him with the creation of Homeland Security. At lease we know who to blame now for creating one of the most tyrannical government agencies is U.S. history.
“The very existence of the Department of Homeland Security is due in large part to Senator Lieberman. Dating back to the first days after 9/11, he has been an instrumental architect of the very way we work to keep America safe from the evolving threats we face in the 21st century. Senator Lieberman’s tireless, nonpartisan efforts have truly made our country more secure, and he has my personal thanks. I wish him the very best in his upcoming retirement, and I look forward to continuing to work with him to secure our country over the next two years.”
– Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano
