Jammo, you do understand that even if only one is not faked then a plane hit the WTC2 tower...Period. If one is real then why fake the rest? what would be the point? There is only one video of the first plane, why would there need to be more than one of the second.

Do you not think it curious that no-one has posted a video showing no plane?
Something happened to the towers, lots of people say they saw jets hit them, dozens of people say they have video of just that.....is it really credible that no-one was videoing the second tower why the second explosion occurred and could show there was no plane and yet not come forward?
 
Note the above. Subect to double checking for accuracy, it appears to me that Compus has tried to refute my claim that the image of one alleged passenger-- Touri Bolourchi -- was based on a "stone image" by saying that in addition to" the stone image, there was, in fact, a photo image of alleged victim, Ms. Bolourchi, in Compus' post, after all.

Is that what you sought to do, Compus? If so, please advise.

Compus appears to suggest there was a second photo that needed to be considered, right Compus?

And so there was. But, let's be a little more precise and a tad bit more forensic in our approach, here. After all, in the absence of any real investigation of what happened to these people, we need to take a close look at what is presented, don't we? Surely you folks are not going to just wallow in the emotion of sympathy and congratulate each other on how nice and thoughtful you are in accepting the common storyline, are you? :boggled:

Surely we don't want it said about Compus' posting that he is exploiting sympathy for victims in order to divert attention from the fact that the common storyline of 9/11 has not ever been adequately proven, as this overall thread has, indeed, shown, do we? :eye-poppi

So, what of the attempt to refute and/or to rehabilitate the information about Ms. Bolourchi?

Well, the attempt to rehabilitate is actually a photograph of 2 ladies that happens to include within the photo a second photo; or, a photo within a photo. The photo within the photo contains a picture of a lady that we must assume is Ms. Bolourchi. But, who are the principal subjects of the photo? What is the name of the ladies standing there? When one introduces a photo having a variety of information, all of the information has to be considered. That is especially true if the main part of what the photo shows is not even the reason or the subject for which it is used.

It is proper not to have relied or mentioned the photo that Compus now draws our attention to because the main subject matter of the photo was not Ms. Bolourchi and no attempt was made, nor has any yet been made, to say who in hades the two ladies that are the largest images in the photo are?

You cannot foist information upon us without any explanation as to what it shows, Compus. When you do that, you engage in cheap exploitation and mere propaganda.

Once again, deceptive, incomplete, BS info is being posted up by Compus that does not answer anything at all. Rather, the attempt at rehabilitation merely raises more questions, which is what any attempt to rely on the common storyline of 9/11 will ultimately do.

That is because the common storyline of 9/11 is just that: A story. The common storyline is not a circumstance that has been reliably proven with proper evidence obtained by way of a rational, reasonable investigatory process.

Thanks, Compus, for proving the truth of the foregoing, yet again.

You know what's coming next, right?


Do better

We need to know who took the pictures, what kind of a camera did they use if it was film then who processed the film, if digital then who had access to the computer the files were on and who uploaded them to the internet.
 
Let me double check for sake of accuracy, are you saying the following is a valid witness claim concerning alleged Flight 175:

Gene McGillian (unspecific - could be either plane)

"I saw (the plane) maybe 200 yards before it hit," said Gene McGillian of Dobbs Ferry, a broker at the New York Mercantile Exchange. "I saw all kinds of debris and body parts on the ground and on car hoods. You had to move pretty quickly because there were pieces of metal hitting the ground. It was horrible."
http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...-1/SPECIAL0106


Do you dispute that the quintessential words in that quote "(the plane)" were inserted, thus confirming that is not what the person can be attributed as saying?

Do you dispute that the quote is uncertain as to what it is even referencing?
...

I dispute this.

It is good journalistic practice to substitute pronouns in direct speech with the noun they stand for, put in parentheses, when the noun itself has been introduced in a preceding sentence that is not itself quoted for the sake of brevity.


Example. Suppose, Gene McGillian had said the following, full text:

"...Ok, let's talk about the plane then, the wide-body Boeing-type passenger plane with two engines and commercial markings on it that I saw so very clearly and vividly that I will never forget the sight. I saw it maybe 200 yards before it hit, I saw all kinds of debris and body parts on the ground and on car hoods. You had to move pretty quickly because there were pieces of metal hitting the ground. It was horrible. To think that a plane like this Boeing could have caused so much damage..."

Suppose the journalist did not want to quote the full text, only the part I fornatted in italic. Then you'd have "it" twice, but not the noun "the plane" that the "it" clearly and unambiguously stands for.

The quote "I saw it maybe 200 yards before it hit..." would therefore be correctly expanded to "I saw (the plane) maybe 200 yards before it hit...". The parentheses do not tell you that anything is uncertain. It tells you the journalist is dealing with direct quotes in an honest and professionally valid way.
It would suit you well, jammonius, if you would write in the same spirit of honesty and professionalism.



You see, jammomius, it bears reflecting upon the fact that every single word you find quoted anywhere is "inserted" and "uncertain" as you can never know if it has been invented, altered or whatever. Putting parentheses around a word does not mean it is less certain. It means that the journalist making the quote is very certain of what the "it" means. What you insinuate in your quoted question is misleading and dishonest. Your questions "Do you dispute..." are loaded and vile.


Do better.

Titanic,

Your post, quoted below, is troublesome because it ignores prior posts where confirmation of each claim was found. It is I who has long recognized and pointed out that "denial" is a key attribute of adherence in the common storyline of 9/11. So, while it may be tiresome to have to post, re-post and then post again and again the proof of each assertion I make, I am going to have to get used to doing so.

OK, so, once more for this page. You say:

Notice how Jam never cites evidence to back his claims, he just asserts he already proved his case(which is a lie). Hence his dodging questions about the people on the planes- he always lies and claimed he already discussed their fates.
I have yet to read a post where he detailed what he thinks happened to Betty ong and Ed Felt.

The claims your post referred to were:

Originally Posted by jammonius

This assertion has been proven by the following means:

1--No insurance payouts.
2--Governmental slush fund for airlines (hush money).
3--No authenicated passenger lists.
4--No actual statement of plane crashes.

I have elsewhere confirmed all of the above with the proper links and sources.

So, the claims I made are identified above. Here is how they are and have been sourced:

1--No insurance payouts:

I have plainly said, I can find no evidence of insurance payouts, despite searching:

http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6180709&postcount=2888

More on the subject was presented in post # 2853

http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6178244&postcount=2853

"Bardamu points out that the article linked by Oystein does not refer to any actual payout. Rather, the article speculates on what might be paid out.

The direct quote is:

"One year after the terrorist attacks in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania, the Insurance Information Institute estimates that the total insurance loss from September 11 will ultimately be about $40.2 billion dollars.

...

* $11 billion (27 percent) in claims for business interruption; * $10 billion (25 percent) in liability claims; * $6 billion (15 percent) in property claims for damage to property, including vehicles, other than World Trade Center buildings One and Two; * $3.5 billion (9 percent) in property claims for WTC buildings One and Two; * $3.5 billion (9 percent) for aviation liability; * $2.7 billion (7 percent) in life insurance claims; * $2 billion (5 percent) for workers compensation claims; * $1 billion (2 percent) in claims for event cancellation and * $500 million (1 percent) in hull claims for the loss of the four commercial aircraft."

http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=90342 **

OK, so far; but, what was actually paid out; to whom, in what amount, from what source?

Oystein doesn't say. And, the information about payouts does not seem to have been of much interest to mainstream media.

In fact, we can find sources claiming that insurance rates went up after 9/11 and that "terrorism" was excluded from coverage, of course, but that doesn't tell us anything about 9/11 payouts:

"A final insurance product a shop manager may want to consider is insurance for acts of terrorism. Since 9/11 and the Patriot Act, the definition of terrorism has changed. If you read most policies, they will have an exclusion clause for terrorism. Terrorism, today, includes things as simple as acts of sabotage from disgruntled employees. If a loss occurs as the result of something like this, and you are not covered for acts of terrorism, your other policies will leave you without coverage."

See: http://www.aviationtoday.com/am/cate...nce_21554.html"

Thus, the claim of no insurance payouts has been properly sourced and adequately analyzed.

2--Governmental slush fund for airlines (hush money)

Post # 2853 was likewise a place where the insurance slush fund was properly sourced and adequately analyzed. Ironically, perhaps, it is a Flight 175 victim's family member -- Ellen Mariani -- who appears to have been among the first to call attention to the airline insurance slush fund:

Here's how it was put in post 3 2853:

"Victims Family member Ellen Mariani was one of the few who called attention to the passage of the $10billion airline slush fund right after 9/11, an amount that far exceeded the amount set aside for victims. And, as we know, just this week victims were again shafted by Congress, but not the airlines:

"On September 22, 2001, President Bush signed into law the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act ("Act") (Public Law 107-42). The Act establishes the Air Transportation Stabilization Board ("Board"). The Board may issue up to $10 billion in Federal credit instruments, e.g. (loan guarantees)."

See: http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/atsb/

What was that $10billion really for? Was it hush money?

There is a lot more than meets the eye in the discussion of insurance payouts, posters, lurkers and victims family members."

3--No authenicated passenger lists.

The lack of authenticated passenber lists is not really contested much. However, I suppose it appropriate to restate the proof of this contention and to do so in a fairly comprehensive way.

So, let's begin:

Here is what passes as and for the best claim of a passenger list for Flight 175:

Flight175Manifest_a.jpg


Stupid debunker websites have trumpeted the above seventh generation fax list dated October 4, 2002, as proof of a passenger list.

The sourcing of the above list, courtesy of debunkers, is as follows:

"We don’t actually subscribe to these ideas, but without any official documentation it’s hard to prove a point, one way or the other. Which is why we were very interested to see a photo of what looked like a passenger manifest in the Terry McDermott book, Perfect Soldiers. We emailed the author, and he said yes: apparently these were amongst a bunch of investigative files he obtained from the FBI while researching his book. 24 hours later we had copies, too. So what would they tell us?"

http://911myths.com/html/the_passengers.html


So, there you have it, a hearsay declaration with a claim about something as vital as an authentic passenger list about which, as to its sourcing, it is said:

"...We emailed the author, and he said yes: apparently these were amongst a bunch of investigative files he obtained from the FBI while researching his book. 24 hours later we had copies, too. So what would they tell us?..."

"Apparently" is not an adequate way to source or verify a claim about whether or not a passenger list is authentic or not.

As to getting documents from the FBI, that is odd, as it is known the FBI has not released any information about any passenger lists; and, instead, has uniformly refused to issue such information.

We have elsewhere discussed the fact that the chart presented at the Moussaoui trial is not an authenticated list and is, instead, a stupid chart:

Exhibit Number OG00010, United States v. Zacarias Moussaoui [...] Trial Exhibits, www.vaed.uscourts.gov, 7/31/06

This is not what an authentic passenger manifest looks like:

Flight175_s.png


That is what a made up chart looks like. That is not authentic evidence for proof of the assertion that it refers to passengers. A chart may be used for illustrative purposes sometimes, but the caveat is that it cannot be used as proof of the claim that passengers were onboard, let alone that they died in a crash or that a crash took place.

However, that said, I also know it's falling on deaf ears. Supporters of the common storyline of 9/11 do not need proof. They only need any little something to support their overwhelming desire to believe.

4--No actual statement of plane crashes.

Here is the source of United's convoluted press release issued close on to Noon on 9/11:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010911...onse/PressReleases/0,11641,-1__1750_1,00.html

Content:

"United Airlines Confirms Incidents Involving Two UA Flight Numbers, Dispatch of Family Assistance Team 11 Sep 2001, 11:53 AM, EST

United Airlines has now confirmed that two of its aircraft have crashed.
United Flight 93, a Boeing 757 aircraft, departed from Newark, NJ, at 8:01 a.m. local time, bound for San Francisco, with 38 passengers onboard, 2 pilots and 5 flight attendants. United Flight 175, a Boeing 767 aircraft, departed from Boston at 7:58 a.m. local time, bound for Los Angeles, with 56 passengers onboard, 2 pilots and 7 flight attendants.

United has confirmed that it will dispatch a team to Johnstown, PA, as soon as possible to assist in every way possible with the investigation and to provide assistance to the family members. "Our thoughts are with the passengers, employees and family members of those involved. Today's events are a tragedy and our prayers are with everyone at this time," said James E. Goodwin, United CEO. Goodwin said United is working with all the relevant authorities involved in today's events and will provide further information as soon as it is available. Friends or family members who want more information about United Flight 93 or United Flight 175 should contact 1-800-932-8555. United also will post any information it has on this website. "


Read the statement carefully, posters, lurkers and victims family members and you will see that it is disjointed and grammarically weird, such that, read for actual content, it may or may not be saying what you think it is saying.

And, United had nothing further to say about the matter. All subsequent comment was said to come from the FBI, who, of course, have said nothing of substance and who has refused to release any proof of the plane crash.

The best source for understanding that there is no publicly available proof of any airline debris, something that would prove crashes having occurred, including copies of the correspondence from the FBI, can be found at:

http://rinf.com/alt-news/911-truth/fbi-refuses-to-confirm-identity-of-911-planes/1875/

One additional important, and sometimes overlooked factual issue here is the fact that records show that 3 of the 4 alleged aircraft allegedly flown on 9/11 were not in reqular service and had not flown at all in year 2001. As to the fourth there were no records at all.

See:

notfly2000.jpg


The answer contained in the above shown correspondence is at variance with other information concerning the flights that does suggest there were pre-9/11 flights for the aircraft said to have been involved. This information confirms, yet again, that the "real world versus exercise" issue is important and serves to confound the ability to determine what happened on 9/11:

"According to a Freedom of Information Act reply from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the last known pre-9/11 flights for three of the four aircraft involved in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 took place in December, 2000, nine months before the attacks, while no pre-9/11 final flight information was provided for American Airlines flight 77 (N644AA).

However, a discovered searchable online BTS database produces the following search results for three of the four 9/11 aircraft on September 10, 2001:

AA 11 departs San Francisco (SFO): AA 09/10/2001 0198 (flight number) N334AA (tail number) BOS (destination) 22:04 (wheels-off time)

UA 175 departs San Francisco (SFO): UA 09/10/2001 0170 (flight number) N612UA (tail number) BOS (destination) 13:44 (wheels-off time)

UA 93 departs San Francisco (SFO): UA 09/10/2001 0078 (flight number) N591UA (tail number) EWR (destination) 23:15 (wheels-off time)"

Claims 1 through 4 are thusly confirmed and verified.

I know posting this won't matter much. Posters will continue to claim there is no proof of the no plane claim and they can do so all they want. Henceforth, I will link them to this post.

Wait, so you're saying that when an airline says, "United Airlines has now confirmed that two of its aircraft have crashed. " It really means, "We don't know what happened to our milti-million dollar planes, so we will just say they crashed" ?

WTF are you on?

I find it funny as hell that you'd present evidence that there was indeed planes & that all the passengers did exist in that 1 post you've just made.

Do you like sticking your foot in your mouth or do you like it when your head's up your you-know-what?

A chart may be used for illustrative purposes sometimes, but the caveat is that it cannot be used as proof of the claim that passengers were onboard, let alone that they died in a crash or that a crash took place.


Jammo, the chart is provided by the airline and someone from the airline will have sworn that it was to the best of their knowledge it was an accurate list of passengers and the seats they were allocated. That swearing in makes it evidence in the eyes of a court. Now a jury can choose to believe it or not, but unless you can prove that the airline representative is lying or that the list is inaccurate then it IS evidence that can used along with other evidence that indeed there was a plane and that those were the people on it.

Curious, what do you think a passenger manifest does look like.....you do know that these are all computer generated nowadays and a print out as raw data or as presented as above are equally valid representations of that data?
 
One additional important, and sometimes overlooked factual issue here is the fact that records show that 3 of the 4 alleged aircraft allegedly flown on 9/11 were not in reqular service and had not flown at all in year 2001. As to the fourth there were no records at all.

They said that did not have any records, that does not mean that they did not fly that year. Please show your evidence that they must have a record of all planes that fly and when they fly.
I do not have any records on the 757 I recently flew in from the UK, but the plane certainly existed and did fly that day.

Seems straight forward enough to me. What do you consider disjointed or weird about the grammar? Given that this was written only hours after the events and when little info was known with 100% accuracy what do think was included or omitted that should not have been?
 
Well I found out where Jammy got the passenger list for Flt. 175:

http://911research.wtc7.net/planes/evidence/docs/Flight175Manifest_a.jpg

And here's the second pic:

http://911research.wtc7.net/planes/evidence/docs/Flight175.png

And like a full blown moron, Jammy didn't want us to learn where he got these from:

http://911research.wtc7.net/planes/evidence/passengers.html

A Truther website, of course!

Of course he trumpets this irrational garbage:
Stupid debunker websites have trumpeted the above seventh generation fax list dated October 4, 2002, as proof of a passenger list.

Actually it was from a Truther website & not a Debunker website. Damn Jam, you really are the fool who follows the foolish.

The above is a hopeless hodge-podge of assumption-riddled, misplacement and misattribution of fact, of logic, of reasoning, to name some misses.

To begin with, the proposition that is opposite that which you propose is equally valid; namely: If one video is fake, then it calls into question the entire event. More than one video is obviously a fake from among the ALL 43; but, equally important, none of them show a jetliner in a realistic crash into a steel reinforced building: Not one.

Accordingly, there is nothing about the videos of the explosions at the WTC that gives rise to a reasonable assertion that a jetliner was involved.
 
My google-fu is lacking today. Does anyone else remember the rather large image of a blue smiley face that is vomiting "words." Not the little animated one in the emoticons. Thanks!
