What exactly would be investigated?

I mean, the physical evidence is pretty well gone. Wherever it went, be it China or Jersey or that warehouse they put the Ark of the Covenant, the physical evidence has all been moved and cooled.

Videos? That's being done constantly anyway.

Eyewitness testimony? Given that memories change after the fact, these aren't going to be of much use either.

Sekrit gubmint files? If they exist, we'll never see them. Not for another 50 years at least.

So what is left?

I am having a little trouble with the picture analysis over there--you know, where he claims the plane is too long to be United 175--Gravy, is there any good rebuttal or professional photog that can help?

I just did my own independent analysis, and posted this at the LC Forum:
Sun Zoo, I did my own independent photogrammety with the plane that hit the South Tower. First, I took a picture of the plane from a web site called LibertyThink, which appears to be a pro-conspiracy theory site. This is a much higher-resolution picture than the one you're using in your analysis. I rotated it 3 degrees to make the fuselage horizontal, then I drew lines connecting the wingtips and the fronts of the engine nacelles. Then I measured the number of pixels from the tip of the plane's nose, to the engine fronts, and from there back to the wingtips.

Here is my picture:
175-NEW.jpg


The "A" distance you refer to is 90 pixels, and the "B" distance is 110 pixels, so A is less than B, indicating that it is indeed a 767-200. The ratio of the two measurements is 0.82.

Measurements of this pic: 0.82
Your measurements of NIST pic: 1.04
767-200: 0.95
767-300: 1.11

A further question: why are your measurements and mine so different? I think I know the answer.

By the way, the answer that I think it is, is that my picture was taken from slightly behind the plane, while the one he was using was taken from slightly in front of it. The fact that the wings are pulling a high g-load and flexing upwards would cause the measurements to be off depending on your perspective. For the second-pass approximation, I'd average the two, yielding a ratio of 0.93, which is close enough for government work :D to the 0.95 number, that I'd say this issue is pretty much solved.
 
Wow, I found out the whole roswell incident is true! there are aliens! and their is a ship! And you guys should see the guy in charge of the scientific group in charge down there!

I found the answers in the movie "Independance Day"

I reckon Nasa will use that captured ship when they go back to the moon and mars.

Is there a pod underneath that airplane? :boxedin:

This should come as no surprise to anyone but geggy, but guess who wrote the questions for that poll? The directors of 911truth.org, the same people I emailed this weekend with a copy of my critique of their 99 and 44/100% false literature (see my sig).

And remember their last stab at writing a 9/11 poll, on the eve of the 2004 RNC in New York, the one that asked about the "mysterious and unexplained" collapse of WTC 7?

Yet another steaming pile from geggy.
 
Sun Zoo said:
Yes, very much so. You see, if it can be proven well beyond any reasonable doubt whatsoever, that the buildings did NOT "fall" (explode) as a result of the plane strike and fire, then by an extension of logical, deductive reasoning, the observations about this plane (proportion, anomalies), what it does, and what it produces must be examined in a totally different contextual frame of reference.

Contextual frame of reference. Not the non-contextual kind, mind you.

Indeed. Thank you for your good work, Curt. Take two "attaboys" out of petty cash.

Guess I'd better waltz over there this morning, I whacked Sun Zoo pretty hard on the replacement aircraft and you with the analysis, he may have gone into meltdown...

Edited to add: Well, I'm flabergasted; He seems to have backed completely down on his 767-300 contention.

Thank you for your work. It's rendered the 300 observation indeterminate I have to admit.

Nicely done, CurtC.

9-11 Truth Movement Threatened by LC!

May 19, 2006

The 9/11 truth movement is in the midst of a crisis. In contrast to rosy colored scenarios being presented, many of us see that the Loose Change and the no plane at the Pentagon disinformation campaigns clearly threaten the 9/11 truth movement's long term public legitimacy. Other than the leaders who have maintained high standards and principles, this third wave activist truth movement has become nearly unrecognizable from its origins (one main reason why this website's activism photo albums remain protected). I have heard from other credible 9/11 truth activists who feel similarly disheartened. Time will tell and history will be the judge.

Er, can it be they feel threatened because the information they disseminate is LESS accurate than Loose Change? I've downloaded several other pamphlets of theirs, and, yep, they're just as bad as the one I critiqued.

I came across this humorous account of the premiere of "United 93," at which Manny & I were giving out flyers and CDs with my "LC" rebuttal. The pamphlet this guy was giving out is the one I critiqued. Excerpts from his piece about that night, with my comments in brackets:

Was at the premier tonight at the Zigfeld theatre on 54th St., of the movie "Flt. 93"

...I suppose it must've been a hand picked crowd. Their worst nighmare would've been of some of us 911 Truth people getting a ticket. (Turn it into Rocky Horror Show and act out the parts. Or talk back to the screen - "He'd never say that" Or "********!" or at the end when the narrartor says, ~"And so began the War on Terror." ..."TRAITORS!" [I'm sure the families of victims would have laughed heartily at your frisky frivolity.]

Everybody wants our fliers. [Uh, no. Few people did.]

...The 911 truth folk were barred from the sidewalk in front of the theatre. We were not allowed to flier on that side. There was a "pen" facing the entrance, on the other side of the street (it's is a rather narrow street). A banner was held up reading "Stop the Media 911 Blackout," which of course was not understood by people who are immersed in the dominent paradigm - "'Media Blackout over 911?' What does that mean? What is that for?" Someone approached me, I believe a British reporter, who had that peculiar, for me, lack of understanding of the banner, and wondered if I was part of "that group." - (Because, BTW, I will not enter a pen, so I stood apart from the group.) He said, "That group says the government did it." "Well yes," I replied, "if you look closely at the data, you have to come to that conclusion." He jumped back and scampered across the street, fast, as though I had the plague. [You're certainly a plague vector.]

There was a man there, who did not sign his name to the leaflet he was passing out, who stood toward the back of the line of people entering the theatre - (normally that would've been *my* territory - but hells, after I read his flier, I got freaked out. And chickened out of fliering right next to him. I think our fliers cancelled each other out when right next to each other.)

The whole setting and situation was freaking me out, anyway. Major Propaganda flick. How can they do this? Don't they think anyone is watching?) The man was a ringer for Robert de Niro, only taller and younger [And wealthier and more handsome and the owner of more trendy restaurants]. Les speculated he was his brother. He looked so much like him, you couldn't believe he could be merely a nephew or son. And BTW, Robert de Niro is the founder of this film festival.

I obtained the man's sheet from him, but others couldn't because he wouldn't give it out to any of us, if he knew were were 911 Reality people. He wore a baseball cap and got bored, fairly quickly, of handing out his fliers - it seemed. And just hung around our group. Maybe he had people inside, handing them out there. [My Manny Friday. And it was boring, because so few people were taking their flyers. We only gave info to people who got info from them.]

But really when people left, they were quite open to the fliers. [And to displaying disgust when they saw the content] So the Anti- influences couldn't have worked all that well. The security there didn't like to see that. It seemed I could feel them cringe at our, even minimal, success. I mean, a slip of paper will not compete with a blockbuster Hollywood movie. But many people did seem to want to speak to us. [Uh, no] And didn't hate us.

The man's fliers quoted, out of context, things he'd read about 911 Truth and he provided quotes made by random people off 911 blogs, and specificly, Dylan Avery. I guess he was reading Dylan's blog and knew that Dylan planned to be there, which he was. Dylan later said he confronted the man and said, "Here I am, right in front of you, why don't you tell me face to face what problem you have with me." [I said, "Here's a CD with my 'Loose Change Viewer's Guide.'"] Or somesuch. (Avery will probably tell the story better on his blog. I met him him later nearby and he impressed me as an highly intelligent man.) (But hells, what can you do? Dylan, as of now, made the definitive 911 documentary flick for our age. And for the fiction version of the story: "V for Vendetta" wins.

So maybe this was Dylan's homage - getting picked-on at the opening of the NY film festival, which originated to bring the downtown back from 911 - at the opening of the first major Hollywood flick of 9/11, by a guy who looks like a relative of Robert de Niro! I guess they are jealous of his Underground success?! No surprise there! Avery's tells the most important story there is, for a New Yorker, for an American, for a human being alive in the world today with the Superpower, Imperial wannabe, U.S.A. Avery told the true story. [Was that in the LC "extras?" I didn't see it in the main feature.] What can you do? The true story, especially in this case, is just going to have so much more flavor. They wish they could buy that flavor and sell it back to you, without you knowing what it is.) [I'll know it by its smell.]

...Everyone wanted a copy of the smear-job leaflet to see what hellacious crap it was, so I didn't get to keep one to bring home, but generously gave mine away. Therefore, I can't quote it to you. But if I could, you'd have a big shock and a laugh. The flier didn't address any points, but just smeared the 911 Truth movement - telling people to Beware! It told people they might be approached by us and might even be offered a copy of the terrible insulting movie "Loose Change," which was full of innaccuracies. It said no one in our group cared about the families - (never mind I, myself, lost a best friend, most outstanding person, to the very bottom of North Tower). [Need I remind everyone that these people were PROTESTING at an event attended by the families of vicetims?] It said these ideas were, surprisingly, spreading a lot and that they was especially popular among young men, and were being passed around in schools and on campuses and from off the Internet.

...Anyway Dylan got plenty of footage of the person who was handing this out, and others got the man's pic too. Even I did, but it was a bad shot.

There were a lot of foreign journalists and many interviews with 911 Truth members. Many people I handed out leaflets to were exceptionally kind and sympathetic. We got no harrassment. (Except for the typical abrogation of our rights, by making us stand in a pen and limiting our access to the public, by the police. We couldn't flier the crowd, except as they approached or left the event, not as they stood in line, for the most part. [Boy, that was a short "Media Blackout."]

...The news cameras interviewed a few people as they left, who were somewhat in tears. Everyone looked quite sad or at least subdued and pensive, quiet, upon leaving. Who I saw, with slight tears, were young women. But afterward, almost no one was averse to taking a flier, especially the tasteful and kind one Nick wrote - if approached with kindness and politeness. [I believe he's talking about the flyer that "tastefully" reminded the families of the flight 93 victims that there were no heroes on board.] I wouldn't approach if it would seem like an intrusion. That was what I didn't like about the all men and boys of the group, in the pen, shouting to the crowd across the street. It just didn't seem effective. [It was plenty effective, if their goal was to make people think they were insane douchebags.] And maybe counter-productive.

But they felt the necessity to really protest it. And hells, how can I really blame them. [Like this: "Hey, douchebags! Why don't you show some respect for the victims of 9/11?"] Me, I always say "please" when I ask someone to take my flier and people appreciate that. I am not forcing it upon them. If they say "No," they do so with politeness and with an added "Thank you," because I have asked them with a "Please" and with gentleness.

My friend said the reaction might be different in a place outside of NYC. But here the reaction from the crowd who we *could* reach was very thoughtful and open. It was mostly like a showbiz type gala or celebrity fest - though I couldn't tell who were the celebrities. I wonder if Bloomberg went. I wonder how many conspirators went? ....

At one point, a large number of people thought the Earth was flat. So it must be true.

At one point, a large number of people thought that Apollo drew the sun across the sky with his chariot. So it must be true.

At one point, a large number of people thought that epileptic shock was a sign of being possessed by the devil. So it must be true.

Sorry, Geggy, but numbers of believers are not evidence, despite how much you would like it to be.
