Jokes Hidden In Plain Sight:
Thierry Meyssan, In Plane Site, Popular Mechanics
from "The Hunt for Zero Point: Inside the Classified World
of Antigravity Technology,"
by Nick Cook, Broadway Books (2002)
"... where the F-177A Stealth Fighter had crashed in 1986, two
years before it was unveiled. That the security surrounding the plane
had remained in place after the crash was mainly down to the fast footwork
of special Air Force crash-recovery teams, whose policy included sieving
the earth up to a thousand yards from the crash site for pieces, then
scattering bits of a '60s vintage Voodoo fighter prior to their departure
to throw the curious off the scent.
To me, Bakersfield said two things. It said that the black world would
stop at nothing to prevent America's "quantum leap technologies"
from spilling into the public domain until its bright young colonels
were satisfied nothing more could be gained by holding the lid of secrecy
in place. And two, in scattering bits of Voodoo, an aircraft that hadn't
been flown actively for years, it wasn't averse to sending a signal.
When restrictions on the site were lifted, aircraft enthusiasts went
into the hills and picked over the site to see if they could find any
evidence that for the first time would point to the reality of the Stealth
Fighter's existence. When they brought back little pieces of aircraft
and had them analyzed, they knew exactly who'd been yanking the chain.
The pieces of Voodoo were the telltale flourish that anonymous
artists leave to denote the authorship of their work to cognoscenti
of their talent. (p. 244)
Thierry Meyssan's book "Le
Pentagate"claiming no plane hit the Pentagon used a picture of
plane parts
This cover of "Le Pentagate" shows Boeing components (which
refutes the book's claim that a Boeing didn't hit the Pentagon) - an insult
that assumes the 9/11 skeptics won't look closely at the details. This
photo subconsciously implies that this hole was the contentious issue
of an impact zone allegedly too small for a large Boeing jet. However,
this photo shows the "punch out hole" at the end of the debris
field (supposedly made by the firefighters) not the outside
of the building where the plane actually hit. The damage to the
outside of the Pentagon was the width of a 757. Claims that the hole was
"too small" for the plane are based on photos where most of
the impact zone is obscured by firefighting foam and smoke. A
few hoaxers claim that this hole was the impact zone on the outside of
the building - which shows either grotesque incompetence or a deliberate
effort to deceive.

The next photo is from the cover from one of the conspiracy sites
that demands "where is the plane?" -- they must not have looked
very hard, there are 2 obvious chunks of it in the photo. Another
rim from the airplane on the right, and a large chunk of bulkhead on the
left.

More parts from inside the 757 - note the Boeing green primer on 3 parts
in this photo - two circled.
In Plane Site: a
bad joke "hidden in plain sight"
The photo on the
cover of "Plane Site" used the exact same photo of a 757 below,
showing the normal "fairing" structure
on the underside of the fuselage. This photo was posted in early
May 2004 to the "911 Truth Alliance" email list by a member
who was debunking the "pod" claim. Is it a coincidence that
the film uses the exact same photo (out of all of the countless photos
ever taken of Boeing jets), or is it just a bad
joke hidden "in plain sight?"

used a "9/11 truth" website to debunk the "pod" hoax

Analysis of Flight 175 "Pod" and related claims

questionsquestions.net, 9 September 2004
What an amazing coincidence that Popular Mechanics used the exact
same photos (and graphic highlights) that questionsquestions
used a half year before the Popular Mechanics article to debunk the "pod"
nonsense. (Popular Mechanics forgot to point out that most of
the 9/11 truth movement does not accept this claim, or that they borrowed
a photo to ridicule the theory from a 9/11 truth website that proved this
claim is disinformation.)

debunking the "pod" hoax
used by Popular Mechanics to mix good and bogus claims of 9/11 complicity
Popular Mechanics and questionsquestions used the same photo
showing windows from the plane that was first used by questionsquestions
to refute the "no windows" nonsense.
from questionsquestions.net in 2004:
"Seeming to back up the claim of no windows, In
Plane Site features an apparent interview (audio only) with a Fox News
reporter who claims that the airliner looked like a windowless cargo
767. He also claimes that it had markings clearly different than United
Airlines, including an unfamiliar round symbol on the nose. This immediately
presents a problem, because it is clear enough in the left photo above
that the airliner is indeed painted in the UA color scheme -- even the
narrow red stripe down the side of the fuselage can faintly be discerned.
No errant large logos are visible, certainly not in either of the above
two photos, nor in any other photos or footage I have seen. On top of
this, this witness also happens to mention that he was in Brooklyn!
This would put him at more than a mile away, or more, from the WTC.
This leaves something to be desired concerning the reliability
of this one-of-a-kind report, to put it mildly. ....
... it is virtually impossible that this scrap on building 5 came from
the plane that hit the North Tower because it would require the
scrap make more than a 90 degree turn at 400 mph, so this confirms that
the plane that hit the South Tower had windows."

from Popular Mechanics, March 2005
Flight 175's Windows
CLAIM: On Sept. 11, FOX News broadcast a live phone interview with FOX
employee Marc Birnbach. 911inplanesite.com states that "Bernback"
saw the plane "crash into the South Tower." "It definitely
did not look like a commercial plane," Birnbach said on air. "I
didn't see any windows on the sides."Coupled with photographs and
videos of Flight 175 that lack the resolution to show windows, Birnbach's
statement has fueled one of the most widely referenced 9/11 conspiracy
theories--specifically, that the South Tower was struck by a military
cargo plane or a fuel tanker.
FACT: Birnbach, who was a freelance videographer with FOX News at the
time, tells PM that he was more than 2 miles southeast of the WTC, in
Brooklyn, when he briefly saw a plane fly over. He says that, in fact,
he did not see the plane strike the South Tower; he says he only heard
the explosion.While heading a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
probe into the collapse of the towers, W. Gene Corley studied the airplane
wreckage. A licensed structural engineer with Construction Technology
Laboratories, a consulting firm based in Skokie, Ill., Corley and his
team photographed aircraft debris on the roof of WTC 5, including a
chunk of fuselage that clearly had passenger windows. "It's ...
from the United Airlines plane that hit Tower 2," Corley states
flatly. In reviewing crash footage taken by an ABC news crew, Corley
was able to track the trajectory of the fragments he studied--including
a section of the landing gear and part of an engine--as they tore through
the South Tower, exited from the building's north side and fell from
the sky.
in reality, only In Plane Site, their co-conspirators and a few dupes
have "widely referenced" the cargo plane theory -- and virtually
no one has pushed this "no windows" nonsense, as Popular Mechanics
knew by using photos used by questionsquestions.net This was a
deliberate effort by PM to use 9/11 truth websites to debunk the extreme
disinformation claims as a subtle, mean spirited effort to smear the whole
9/11 truth movement with the fake claims that have been injected into
it.

whistleblower harassed by Defense Intelligence Agency |
www.waynemadsenreport.com
February 15, 2006 -- National security whistleblowers testify to planted classified
documents and other abuses. Testifying before the House Subcommittee on National
Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations chaired by Connecticut
Republican Rep. Chris Shays, five national security whistleblowers testified
yesterday about malfeasance involving senior Bush administration officials.
The most stunning testimony came from Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, a Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA) officer who was involved in a Top Secret data mining operation
called Able Danger. Prior to 911, Able Danger identified Mohammed Atta and other
members of his hijacking team but were prevented from informing the FBI and
other agencies. Pennsylvania Republican Curt Weldon, who is not a member of
Shays's subcommittee but was invited to participate in the hearings, said that
Shaffer had been the victim of extreme retaliation by DIA and the Pentagon.
Two incidents Shaffer testified about point to malfeasance involving 911 Commission
Executive Director Phil Zelikow, a colleague and friend of Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, and CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
While Shaffer was stationed under cover and using an assumed name in Bagram,
Afghanistan in October 2003, he was interviewed by Zelikow about Able Danger.
After returning to the United States, Shaffer attempted to talk to Zelikow again.
There were no further meetings and Zelikow stated he never met with Shaffer
in the past. However, in testimony before Weldon and the House Armed Services
Committee today, Shaffer said he is prepared to produce a business card given
him by Zelikow in Afghanistan.
After Shaffer and Able Danger became public, Wolf Blitzer blindsided Shaffer
during his appearance on Blitzer's "Situation Room." Blitzer told
Shaffer that he had "information" that Shaffer was having an affair
with a member of Weldon's congressional staff. In a direct answer to Weldon's
question and under oath, Shaffer said he had no such relationship with a member
of Weldon's staff, female or male.
Shaffer also testified about the planting of classified documents in
a package sent by DIA to Shaffer's home. Shaffer said the package contained
five classified documents that he was not authorized to receive. In addition
to the five documents, the package contained a bag of 20 U.S. government "Skilcraft"
pens. The DIA also said that Shaffer was untrustworthy because of an accusation
that he took home government pens from the U.S. embassy where his father worked.
Shaffer was 13 years old at the time of the alleged "pen theft." [emphasis added]
The planting of classified documents in the homes of whistleblowing national
security personnel is a pattern with the neocons in the Bush administration.
WMR has reported on the case of former NSA analyst Ken Ford, Jr., who was wrongfully
convicted of taking home two boxes of NSA classified documents, which Assistant
US Attorney (AUSA) David I. Salem alleged that he was prepared to sell to an
unknown foreign diplomat during a rendezvous at Dulles Airport. In fact, the
FBI and NSA Security planted one classified document on an FBI confidential
informant that was planted in Ford's Waldorf, Maryland home. The government
never took photos of the boxes alleged to be in Ford's home nor did they produce
security videos of the parking lot and loading dock of the NSA building where
Ford worked. Ford faces up to 15 years in prison and a half million dollar fine
in sentencing on March 1. Salem has been linked to the same Washington-based
neocon networks that include Zelikow and Blitzer.
In August 2001, one month prior to 911, a wrongfully terminated National Ground
Intelligence Center (NGIC) analyst in Charlottesville, Virginia arranged to
have some of his NGIC paperwork sent to him at home by NGIC security. However,
when a clasped and taped enveloped arrived at his home, there were clear indications
that sometime during the passage of the documents through four levels of NGIC
management, including NGIC security, something was inserted into the files:
a SECRET NOFORN WINTEL document [NOFORN is "no foreign dissemination"
and WINTEL is "Warning - Intelligence Sources and Methods Revealed']. The
analyst dutifully informed the FBI and the Army Criminal Investigation Division
(CID) at Fort Monroe, Virginia about the incident. However, the analyst was
never asked to sign his statement about the incident and there was no follow
up by the government.
Army Sergeant Samuel Provance (since demoted to Specialist) testified about
the use of torture and sexual abuse on Iraqi prisoners, including minors, at
Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. Provance was "gagged" by the Pentagon
but he testified that there was a cover-up of Abu Ghraib and that children were
abused, including the 16-year old son of an imprisoned Iraqi general. The boy
was splashed with cold water and then driven around in an open Humvee with his
father as a witness. The general, who had not been accused of any crimes, had
his will broken as a result of the incident.
Provance's written testimony was redacted by the Department of Defense just
prior to his appearance before the Shays subcommittee. The testimony [first
page] [second page] refers to the presence in Abu Ghraib of "Middle Eastern"
contractors who were not Iraqi but spoke Arabic who were involved in prisoner
hooding, placing of women's' underwear on the heads of prisoners, and abuse
and sexual humiliation of prisoners, including children. "Middle Eastern"
is U.S. government code for Israeli and the presence of Israelis at Abu Ghraib
has been confirmed by a number of U.S. military personnel who spoke on the condition
of anonymity to WMR.
Tennessee Republican John Duncan said he was particularly concerned about the
$44 billion "lost" by the Pentagon in Iraq.
Former NSA intelligence officer Russ Tice, in response to a question from Maryland's
Chris Van Hollen, said there was "scuttlebutt" at NSA before the 2004
election that if John Kerry was elected president, there would be consequences
as a result of the illegality of some of NSA's surveillance programs authorized
by the Bush administration. Dutch Ruppersberger, whose district includes NSA
and who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said
he doubted the justification for the NSA domestic surveillance programs.
Former FBI Special Agent Michael German testified that the Tampa Division of
the FBI compromised a sensitive counterterrorism investigation. A January 2002
meeting between the leader of a "domestic terrorist organization"
and a supporter of an "international terrorist organization," recorded
by an FBI "Cooperating Witness." Part of the recorded evidence was
later found to have been recorded illegally in violation of Title III wiretap
regulations, thereby making it inadmissible in court. German specialized in
tracking and infiltrating extreme right-wing, white supremacist/Christian identity
movements in the United States.
A list of the members of the current members of the National Security Whistleblowers
Coalition lists other members of the intelligence community who were retaliated
against. These include John M. Cole, an intelligence operations specialist for
the FBI with 18 years in the FBI's Counterintelligence Division. In 1999, Cole
discovered "serious issues of mismanagement, gross negligence, waste of
government funds, security breaches, cover-ups, and intentional blocking of
intelligence that had national security implications." His informed all
levels of management, including Director Robert Mueller, of the problems but
was ignored. Cole left the FBI in March 2004.
Daniel Hirsch, an FS-01 (GS-15) Foreign Service officer with 26 years of experience
with the CIA and State Department, where he served in the Diplomatic Security
Service and at the UN, had his security clearance suspended in March 2003. Hirsch
was never told why his clearance was suspended.
Michael Levine, a retired supervisory agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) ran afoul of CIA drug smuggling and money laundering during the time of
Iran-Contra. WMR has reported that Porter Goss has renewed CIA drug smuggling
operations using unsavory agency operatives active in the 1980s. Levine's short
biography states, "as an international undercover operative [Levine] witnessed
the intentional destruction of undercover investigations targeting major international
heroin and cocaine trafficking organizations whom also happened to be CIA assets.
Among the actions reported was blowing the cover of an undercover operation
-- Operation Trifecta -- that had penetrated the top of a corrupt Mexican government,
by Edwin Meese, the then U.S. Attorney General." [Meese is now a top operative
of the "Christian" Fellowship Foundation and a fellow traveler of
various neo-confederates active in the Bush administration, some of whom are
ardent admirers of Abraham Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth].
Shaffer concluded his testimony by stating, "I became a whistleblower not
out of choice, but out of necessity. Many of us have a personal commitment to
the truth -- and a commitment to defend the country, not simply by stating our
loyalty, but by action; by going forward into combat if called upon to do so;
by going forward to expose the truth and wrongdoing of government officials
who before and after the 9/11 attacks failed to do their job."

effort was Iran-Contra criminal conspirator Admiral John Poindexter, a sign

MATRIX (Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange) :.
Do you ever get the feeling that They're just doing stuff now in order
to rub our faces in it? If I had come out, a few weeks ago, and said
that a new law enforcement datamining/surveillance system called MATRIX was
under construction, even you guys, who are basically nuts, would have emailed
me and gently suggested that I should seek psychiatric care. So, for those of
you keeping orderly records of The End, this one should be at the front of your
I-Shit-You-Not-File:
www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/33006.html
The perverse dream of integrating law enforcement, military
intelligence and vast databases of virtually everything done by virtually
every citizen is coming to fruition, only under state, not federal, auspices.
DARPA's dreaded Total Information Awareness (TIA) program, formerly administered
by convicted felon and Republican hero John Poindexter of Iran-Contra fame,
may have been de-clawed by Congress, but it lives on at the state level in
an incarnation called, ominously, the MATRIX (Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information
Exchange).
There's a lot to dislike in this new end-run around Congressional oversight.
For one thing there are federal dollars behind it -- four million from the
Department of Justice -- which makes it clear that the Feds will be expecting
a payoff.
It also appears that the scheme is geared more towards data mining in quest
of garden-variety criminal activity than anything to do with international
terrorism. When you combine that with federal interest, it's hard to resist
seeing the MATRIX as a sneaky way for three-letter agencies to keep tabs on
ordinary folk and their foibles, side-stepping restrictions on domestic spying
instituted since the Church Committee.
