LF: E-Rant: The Improbable “Airplane”

Here are some thoughts about the “airplane” that supposedly flew into the Pentagon on the day the “enemies of freedom” struck.

Or did they?

I grew up in the DC area – and I was there on that day. It has always bothered me that not one picture (or video) of an “airplane” flying toward the Pentagon has surfaced. Bothered me because of the improbability.

As anyone who has spent even a little time in the DC area knows, the place is heavily surveilled. Security cameras everywhere; and thousands of tourists with their own cameras, too.

On that day, all those tourists knew two airplanes had been flown into the Trade Center towers in NY. Every one of those tourists would have been looking up – and had their cameras and video rigs trained on any low/erratically flying heavy jet – which they would have heard coming in plenty of time to snap a picture or record video of it coming in (as dozens of people did in NYC).

How probable – how credible – is it that not one image has been produced showing the “airplane” headed toward the Pentagon? It defies logic; it beggars belief.

Which is why I don’t believe it.

Certainly, something hit the building. But an “airplane?

Perhaps it had a cloaking device… or was capable of hypersonic flight… .

Both the Flight Data Recorder and the Cockpit Voice Recorder were recovered from Flight 77 (which hit the Pentagon).

Bystanders in some number would have had old flip phones with rudimentary cameras, like 640x480 pictures and such. But I don't think you could have expected that many people to be ready to whip out a cellphone and snap a picture in 2001 as what you would see in 2019. Nowadays, people start filming at the drop of a hat. Not so in 2001.

As for lack of footage from surveillance cameras, there is no ready explanation. Many of them would be pointing in the wrong direction but you'd still expect there would be at least a dozen that would see the airliner inbound to the Pentagon. Strangely, you don't even see it discussed.

You don't see replays of the crucial parts of the Branch Davidian massacre even though it was on national TV. You see little clips and no more. That is largely true of the two Shuttle disasters as well. And it is true of the 9/11 attacks where it was decided by Them (feds, Big Media, Google/Facebook/Twitter) that such material is not healthy for the public to view. So they just take it all down from video sites and mass media outlets. You'd find copies of the real thing at government archives or at the media centers or the intel agencies or FEMA but you won't see the full videos of 9/11 with people falling or jumping.

Another thing they made disappear was those 29 propaganda films the North Vietnamese made with John McCain when he was their prisoner. We didn't see them even when he ran for prez and only two universities around the world would acknowledge they had archived copies of these. Those old films were made to disappear by Them but the spooks, key archives and Pentagon would still have copies, probably classified. Clearly, there was some international agreement among various parties not to air these old films. That included copies held by our NATO allies and other allies in Asia. Not a peep throughout the 2008 election.

Similarly, you have little or no video of the Gulf of Tonkin incident or Israel's attack on the USS Liberty.

There are a lot of public events that They don't want us to see and remember. And they make those things disappear from public view, especially on the internet.

It's like the old Soviet propaganda system but a lot more subtle. Selectively deleting history from the public record so the workers won't get the wrong ideas about things.
