dirtywick,

Can you link me to that? When I can link I will show you the opinion I subscribe to.

I will use up my posts here until I can link and then start over with Scientologist's original questions since they require links.


Russell, you have done one thing that no other CT at jref has done and that is actually answer questions asked of you, so I do appreciate it. With that said, let's continue, shall we? Oh, and the personal insults will stop at my last post.

Also, let it be said that I appreciate your clarity of which position you take.


1) I do believe that individuals posing as hijackers or believing they were hijackers were involved. The State Department has turned over the remains of five bodies to the FBI that have never been positively identified.

A. Link please for the assertion?
B. So, if I may sum up your argument, you believe that the hijackers were setup by a higher power and then remote-controlled into a building? How do you account for some of the video-tape wills that the hijackers made?


2) I have serious questions about the Barbara Olsen call. Remember I specialize in the Pentagon incident. The conflicting stories of Ted and the logistics of using a credit card on an air phone or a cell phone is in question to me. I also do not believe the pilot was standing at the back of the plane hoping for tips on what to do.

A. What about the other phone calls? Taking issue with one phone call but believing all of the others were real should be a red flag for you, I would assume.
B. Which conflicting stories are you referring to? How are the logistics of swiping a credit card in question to you? What specifically are you talking about here? You doubt people have the wherewithall to swipe their CC's to talk to their loved ones in their last moments?
C. If there was a real conspiracy, why have any phone calls at all? Couldn't they have just released an audiotape with the terrorists' threats and called it a day?
D. What makes you qualified to know where the pilot was standing or why he would be standing there? Do you know the particular personality of this pilot or what reactions he might take?

3) I don't have a complete opinion on a swapping of planes. I do believe that at the least there were technology adaptations. Avionics is not my specialty but I am studying Apathoid's paper and have inquiries out to specialists to further define my position. The weakness to my position is that I believe first that Hani didn't fly the plane and then second I am looking for alternatives.

A. I'm sorry what? Technology adaptations? Please clarify what you are suggesting here? Evidence would be nice too but, obviously, never expected of loopy **** like this.
B. At least you acknowledge weakness in your arguments. That makes me think there is hope with you yet.

4) I believe that said passengers and crew were sadly killed at the locations described. This is something I hold a high degree of respect for and do not treat lightly.

Happy to hear that. Thank you.

5) I believe whoever manipulated the situation was also killed as described. The five bodies from the Pentagon are evidence of that.

Again, good to know and understand. However, again, I will mention that several hijackers made wills, indicating their readiness to die.

6) I believe Bin Laden directly denied his involvement initially. That is not normal. Most times groups will take credit even if it is not their doing. I believe Bin Laden is not wanted by the FBI as is indicated on their own site for crimes related to 9/11. I believe the idea that he is still free is unrealistic. I am not a video analyst but do have some doubts about the video that are unfounded from a technical point of view.

A. Perhaps Bin Laden didn't deny his involvement at all? The source on that information is highly questionable.
B. Assuming the source were accurate, however, Bin Laden could be interested in denying involvement initially as he could have been attempting to save the Taliban in Afghanistan.
C. The idea that he is still free is unrealistic? How? Why?
D. Can you clarify which doubts are unrealistic? Can you clarify why the CT side always shows one shot of a video when the rest of it quite clearly depicts Bin Laden? Do you feel this is fair representation of the truth?

7) I believe a very small number of people in the USG actually had full knowledge of the situation. I believe the actual operational aspects were carried out by people with a value system that values American life less than their own. I believe most others may have been given orders that they had no conscious idea of in relation to what happened. I believe some of them in retrospect may see the picture now.

A. What evidence AT ALL makes you believe this? You're basically saying the NWO pulled off 9/11 but you're giving no factual evidence as to why you believe things happened so differently from the way they were told to have happened.
B. If you believe some of the people who were part of it "now see the picture," why have none of them come forward?
C. Why has the military not arrested these people? Why are we dependant on internet faux professors and theorists to tell us who the REAL culprits are?


8) I do not believe in any way that rescue personnel were involved. Remember I was a professional Seattle firefighter when 9/11 happened. My first doubts about what happened came from our USSAR team and what they told me. Another time on that story.

good to know.

9) I believe 7/7 was very suspicious because of the exact scenario being played out in a drill simultaneously. I am not informed on the others. I believe false flag terrorism is an international issue.

Again you believe these things without any evidence or facts, just based on speculation alone?

10) I believe there are elements within radical Islam that are associating themselves with the organization we refer to as Al Qaeda and they would desire global dominance if they had the opportunity. Al Qaeda did not name themselves and to this day do not have a flag or symbol which is traditional.


Ok. Again thanks for your clarification of position. I look forward to the inevitable change in mind you will have once all questions have been addressed.
 
dirtywick,

Can you link me to that? When I can link I will show you the opinion I subscribe to.

Russell

Yeah, I'll try to find something on the internet and add it if I do. To let you know where I heard that, I saw a documentary on the Discovery Channel that said as much on the last 9/11 anniversary.

ETA:

Bell is right, it is The Base. My mistake and thanks for the correction Bell.

Anyway, here's something I found quickly:

http://www.infoplease.com/spot/al-qaeda-terrorism.html

Under the heading "The War on Terrorism" it claims that Al-Zarqawi officially changed the name of his organization to Al Qaeda when he joined up, so it appears that the name was offcial amongst at least some of them.

Also, this: http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/06/08/al.zarqawi.profile/index.html

OBL officially refers to al-Zarqawi as "The prince of al-Qaeda in Iraq" and he himself uses that title if you were looking for an official endorsement of the name.

Just to let you guys know, Russ beleives 9/11 was an inside job just as much as I do.

An absurd position to be sure, but unlike you, he doesn't appear to be a promoter of religious and ethnic hatred and a sympathizer of one of the most murderous regimes in history.

Nor does he appear to have used terror tactics to intimidate those with differing viewpoints as you have with Ms. McClatchey.
 
RUSS:

I can imagine you are getting bogged down with reading all the posts. I posted a few questions about your believes earlier. You didnt seem to address them. I will assume it was an oversight, which is fine, but I think for sanity sake we should limit the number of people throwing questions at you, or it will just be chaos. I am more than willing to step aside and let you debate one on one with Scientologist. If you get the time though, please take a moment to go back and if possible address soem of the questions I asked (they were a little less on specifics than Scientologists).

Thanks

Hi, Russell. I want to ask you a few things about some of your bullet points. I am mainly interested because I am curious about the mental processes you go through to reach some of your opinions, conclusions, or suspicions. Note that I am asking purely out of curiosity, and not out of any desire to necessarily prove you wrong or even debate.

1) I do believe that individuals posing as hijackers or believing they were hijackers were involved. The State Department has turned over the remains of five bodies to the FBI that have never been positively identified.
(Bolding mine).
In your opinion, how would one go about falsely believing onesself to be a hijacker?

6) I believe Bin Laden directly denied his involvement initially. That is not normal. Most times groups will take credit even if it is not their doing. I believe Bin Laden is not wanted by the FBI as is indicated on their own site for crimes related to 9/11. I believe the idea that he is still free is unrealistic. I am not a video analyst but do have some doubts about the video that are unfounded from a technical point of view.

* All related evidence and documentation aside, what, in your opinion, makes a subsequent admission of guilt less credible than an initial denial?

* Which other terrorist groups initially claimed credit for the 9/11 attacks? How about for the OKC bombing? Note that I don't know the answers to these questions myself, just wondering.

* How is it determined what constitutes "normal" behavior for a terrrorist group?

* What, specifically, is "unrealistic" about bin Laden remaining free?

9) I believe 7/7 was very suspicious because of the exact scenario being played out in a drill simultaneously.
I can't understand why a drill for a scenario would preclude the actual scenario taking place, or vice versa. Either the two are coincidental or they are not. If they are not, what possible purpose would it serve to have a drill, and then do the thing you're drilling for? If a "false flag" is simply the idea of, to be blunt, pulling a stunt and blaming it on someone else, what is the drill for? I would like to understand the thinking behind this. I remember on the LC forums, there was a post where someone linked a news story (mainstream press) about a scheduled emergency response drill in Chicago. Lots of the CT-minded people posted things like, "omg false flag, don't be surprised if there's a 'terrorist attack' in Chicago on that day!!".

We used to have fire drills in elementary school, and one time the school cafeteria actually caught fire during the fire drill. That was over 25 years ago, and to this day I can't see how the drill and the real fire are related.


ETA: I'm posting this stuff from work, and it takes me ages to complete a post as I must also simultaneously get work-stuff done, so feel free to ignore me if these questions have already been asked between the time I started and the time I actually clicked "save". It seems at least a coupoe of them have.

Sorry I'm late to the party!

Hi, Russell!

You missed JDX but it's good to see you hanging around anyway.

We have always wanted a relatively rational CTist around here. The nuts get boring after a while.
 
Scientologist,

Thank you for giving me a fair chance. This is an emotional topic. I will be honest with you guys and respond to facts. I am here and have said before that this forum has more honesty, facts and humor than my experiences in the past.

A. Link please for the assertion?
B. So, if I may sum up your argument, you believe that the hijackers were setup by a higher power and then remote-controlled into a building? How do you account for some of the video-tape wills that the hijackers made?

1 a.) ""The remains of the five hijackers have been identified through a process of exclusion, as they did not match DNA samples contributed by family members of all 183 victims who died at the site.

The hijackers' remains will be turned over to the FBI and held as evidence, FBI spokesman Chris Murray said. After the investigation is concluded, the State Department will decide what is to be done with the remains."
washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A61202-2001Nov20&notFound=true

1 b.) I believe some form of technology was involved if my assumption about Hani is correct. The tapes would be accounted for if they believed they were real hijackers as I mentioned. If this scenario has validity to it then yes "higher powers" were involved.

A. What about the other phone calls? Taking issue with one phone call but believing all of the others were real should be a red flag for you, I would assume.
B. Which conflicting stories are you referring to? How are the logistics of swiping a credit card in question to you? What specifically are you talking about here? You doubt people have the wherewithall to swipe their CC's to talk to their loved ones in their last moments?
C. If there was a real conspiracy, why have any phone calls at all? Couldn't they have just released an audiotape with the terrorists' threats and called it a day?
D. What makes you qualified to know where the pilot was standing or why he would be standing there? Do you know the particular personality of this pilot or what reactions he might take?

2 a.) I have to say I am pretty much specialized in the Pentagon and have only spent a little time on WTC7. I can not talk about the other calls with any substantiation.

2 b.) Here is a CT article on it that raises the points I mention in fair detail about Barbara Olson's call. vialls.com/lies911/lies.htm

2 c.) Everybody involved may have been experiencing things with no knowledge other than what they were experiencing in the microcosm. In that case everything is real except for how it happened in the macrocosm. One quote from Operation Northwoods is interesting in this respect, "The pilots returning to Homestead would have a true story as far as they knew." I do find it unusual that Mark Bingham introduced himself to his mom by first and last name and then that the movie United 93 chose not to portray that to the public. This is said with respect and is only a matter of fact.

2 d.) It is in the record of Barbara Olsen's call. IF they are referring to Captain Burlingame I am inferring my opinion from his size, anti-terrorism and military background. He was a professional with over 100 combat missions in Gulf 1. He was the assistant to the assistant Secretary of Defense as well. Until 1996 he was an anti-terrorism liaison to the Pentagon performing duties in Naval Intelligence as a reserve officer. He was a dedicated patriot. If you read all of his memorials you can see where his family implies some surprise about him being overpowered. Flight 77 did not perform any unusual maneuvers by the flight records we now have to indicate an attempt to thwart the hijacking, did not send a transponder hijacking code or make any radio broadcast at all even though the radio was very easy to activate. I do not know the regulations so you can inform me here, but I also believe that proper hijacking protocol is not to go to the back of the plane. There is also an irony to his story and a subsequent disrespect by the USG that I find disgraceful.

A. I'm sorry what? Technology adaptations? Please clarify what you are suggesting here? Evidence would be nice too but, obviously, never expected of loopy **** like this.
B. At least you acknowledge weakness in your arguments. That makes me think there is hope with you yet.

3 a.) The details of the possibilities here I am still looking into. It will be a couple of days before I can link you to the preliminary ideas I have. Perhaps that can be an individual thread for us to discuss. The best I can say is that I have a LOT to learn before this is any kind of a defensible position.

3 b.) There is hope for me. If I am ever factually convinced of the official story in its entirety then I will be the most effective representative for it since I have completely emerged myself in the other side. I was asked by the Secretary of Defense's personal historian face to face in DC for information I have on the Pentagon since she was having problems finding information too. I was more than willing to help. That was obviously squelched after the context of my position was understood. I told her I could save her 2 years if I turned everything I had over to her and only asked in return that I receive one uncompressed frame off the original analog video from the security camera with the aircraft in it. I gave her my name, address, phone number and asked her to present it to Mr. Rumsfeld herself. I don't recall if this was on tape or not but I believe it was recorded with witnesses present. I may be able to produce that conversation. I will check on it. My offer was never accepted. I am actually looking for the real answers.

A. Perhaps Bin Laden didn't deny his involvement at all? The source on that information is highly questionable.
B. Assuming the source were accurate, however, Bin Laden could be interested in denying involvement initially as he could have been attempting to save the Taliban in Afghanistan.
C. The idea that he is still free is unrealistic? How? Why?
D. Can you clarify which doubts are unrealistic? Can you clarify why the CT side always shows one shot of a video when the rest of it quite clearly depicts Bin Laden? Do you feel this is fair representation of the truth?

7 a.) There will be a very interesting clip in LCFC from the MSM claiming that.

7b.) I don't believe he would have any sense after actually working with the US previously that a denial would prevent the consequences. The magnitude of the event in my opinion was recognizable to all of us from the beginning. He is not naive.

7 c.) The best documentary that tells the truth about why he escaped is the Dark Side. It was a pathetic struggle between Pentagon control of the situation versus Intelligence control. Inexcusable in such a drastic situation. pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/

7 d.) My doubts about the video are purely subjective. I do not trust much of the 9/11 "truth" movement. They have betrayed themselves for many reasons and have spent a significant amount of energy portraying me as an agent for my honesty.

9) I believe 7/7 was very suspicious because of the exact scenario being played out in a drill simultaneously. I am not informed on the others. I believe false flag terrorism is an international issue. Again you believe these things without any evidence or facts, just based on speculation alone?

Not speculation - probabilty within my definition of it. I can't justify the math here just my belief.

Giuliani was having a business breakfast meeting in his room at the Great Eastern Hotel, close to Liverpool Street station when the bombs went off:

"I didn't hear the Liverpool Street bomb go off," he explains. "One of my security people came into the room and informed me that there had been an explosion. We went outside and they pointed in the direction of where they thought the incident had happened. There was no panic. I went back in to my breakfast. At that stage, the information coming in to us was very ambiguous." (quoted in the Evening Standard, 11 July 2005.)

The perfectly aligned drills and the presence of former Mayor Giuiliani (security guru now) a couple of blocks away exceeds my personal tolerance for coincidence. Coincidence stops somewhere is my personal belief. Have you seen the BBC interview with one of the managers of the drills? It is pretty eye opening.

Now I can link so it will take me some time to go back and answer the original 5 questions. Please be patient.

Russell
