    I assume, well of motherliness, that you refer to Shanksville.

    Mayor Ernie Stull, Mayor of Nowheresville, the coroner and the fire Chief all rushed out to the scene of the crash and found -nothing much. A crater that had obviously been dug and some scrap metal thrown around.The coroner is on record that there was not one body and not one drop of blood. No engines, no wreckage, no bodies, no luggage, no shoes, no passports: nothing to show a plane ever crashed there. Wherever that plane may or may not have come down it did not come down in Nowheresville.The question is: why lie? About everything. A journalist who questioned a local reporter who was 'active military' about the lack of wreckage was told the ground had 'liquefied' and swallowed the plane and that the wings and fuselage had 'bounced into the woods'. The only thing that liquefied at Shanksville was the truth.

  • Yep...uh huh...

    And after a carefully-orchestrated flurry of faked cell-phone calls, the plane went off the grid, vanished without a trace, and was rerouted to an uncharted island, where, under the gentle care of the Dharma Institute, all the passengers voluntarily agreed to live out the rest of their lives, not once trying to escape, while all their friends and loved ones wrote them off as dead. And none of our satellites and overflights will ever see the island because it's hidden by a magnetic anomaly and/or quantum black hole, and a big white beachball will pop up out of the ocean and smother anyone who tries to escape. Right?

  • have some courage

    Yes, motherwell you don't want to ask big, scary and crucial questions about 9/11. That's fine. But no amount of ridicule will stop those who do want to ask those questions and have them answered from asking them. Eventually, they will have to be answered. The saying goes that these kinds of questions are at first ridiculed, then acccepted as plausible and finally seen as the norm. You're in denial, a classic response to disturbing information. What does all of this say about the media and the government? Well, it says some pretty frightening things but that's no reason to hold your ears and say la, la la or to mock and smear those who have more courage than you do. The inconsistencies,the lies, the coverups speak more eloquently than any individual could. In some cases the claims made by the Bush Administration about 9/11 are so ridiculous they're surreal but you choose not to look at that and instead to paint those who can see the lies, the inconsistencies and the coverups as the absurdists. That's how you maintain your denial. As is your right: but increasingly you will belong to a minority and may already. The fact is that people who are capable of sending weaponised anthrax to senators through the mail (anthrax from a CIA biological warfare facility) are more than capable of killing their own people some other way if it suits other political purposes.The Bush Administration is a morals free zone, and stupid like a fox when it comes to getting what it wants. If they're not held accountable in a court of law they way Milosovich was your democracy will go down the toilet. Get angry about that.
