I haven't seen any evidence (or proofs as Citizen Pawn put oh so well) so far of a conspiracy. All I see is a bunch of inferences made from conflicting stories that assume a massive conspiracy. You know what makes a whole lot more sense than assuming conspiracy from the discrepancies in Cheney's arrival time? People were paying more attention to screens showing planes hitting buildings and planes about to hit buildings than the amount of attention they were paying to a clock. Maybe people were too afraid of seeming like they were not doing their job in a crisis, so they're sticking to an obvious flawed story to make themselves not look like a gawker. That seems a bit more plausible (at least in my mind) than deriving a conspiracy.

I'm sure you're aware of Occam's razor (all things being equal, the simplest solution is the best), its one of the most popular philosophical ideas in popular culture. It seems to me you're making huge jumps in reasoning, bypassing the simplest solutions to find the one's that fit your ideology the best. Now, I might have missed something, but I see no smoking gun that allows for these jumps in reasoning.

Yeah, well the simplist solution is a government INSIDE JOB. Then you do not need aircraft defying the laws of physics nor superman Arab hijackers without any commercial aircraft training or experience nor buildings magically defying gravity and throwing huge pieces of themselves up away from the earth and falling at near free fall speeds. Then you do not need to explain so-called hijackers flying unhindered over nuclear power plants and US Air Force bases nor alleged hijackers defeating a multi trillion dollar defense system nor our alleged leaders desperately preventing any and all investigations into 9-11. Then you do not need to explain why millions of Americans believe 9-11 was an INSIDE JOB Attack on America nor why millions of other people across the world believe the same thing.

One of my better friends is an ex-Navy f-18 pilot turned commercial airlines pilot, and he said what they did was totally possible. I think I'm going to take his opinion over those of anonymous faces on message boards.

Lets look at this from your point of view for one second. OK, the government has no problems killing 3,000 of its own citizens and staging a massive cover up that would have to include tens of thousands of various government officials, military personnel, and civilian employees.

How does a government that couldn't keep the Valerie Plame leak a secret in the highest levels of the executive branch maintain the silence of this magnitude of people?

How are you still alive when the government doesn't care about killing people to get their ends?


You are making huge leaps of faith with minimal logical support, and than saying it is the simplest solution. Its obviously not. Show me documents/memos/witnesses/testimony proving a government conspiracy. Don't throw vague information and contradictions at me and then tell me your inferences are evidence.


Edit: I just saw your signature, and I just wanted to let you know it makes no sense (at least the oil company parts). Prewar estimates of cost showed that any gains in lower gas prices would be vastly outweighed by the cost of the war. The Bush administration knew there was no profit to be made by invading Iraq. Also, the price of oil is set in a market, meaning more gas does not mean more profit. In fact, the opposite is true. A higher supply of gas means a lower median price of gas, meaning those selling will have a tighter margin of profit.

The conspiracy is someone is lying about Cheney movements on the morning of 9/11.

The commission states Cheney arrives at the PEOC at 9:58, perhaps 10:00.
Cheney himself states that he is in the PEOC before the Pentagon attack at 9:43am

Both of these cannot be correct. Either none of these are correct, or one of them is correct.

The proof of the conspiracy is that either the Commission or Cheney have mislead the public about Cheneys movements on the morning of 9/11, and that requires people to conspire to do this.

Now before you argue, it could be a simple mistake.....how does Cheney go from going on TV 5 days after the attacks, saying he was in the PEOC when he hears of the Pentagon attack, to the commissions claims that he is in the tunnel when he hears of the Pentagon and doesn't arrive at the PEOC until after 9:58, perhaps 10:00?

One of them is lying....The commission even claims that there is conflicting evidence as to what time Cheney arrives in the PEOC, but what all the evidence suggest is that there no solid evidence/proof that Cheney arrives at the PEOC at 9:58, perhaps 10:00.

Goto the footnotes of the commission, then try and find the evidence to support it. If you find any, then let me know because I've looked and asked, but there is nothing solid to support this contention.

So either the Commission lies for Cheney or as I suspect, Cheney lies to the commission.

Either way, there is a conspiracy to mislead the public.

I do not assume anything, but of course, I would expect no evidence FROM YOU to support what I am supposedly assuming.

You know what makes a whole lot more sense than assuming conspiracy from the discrepancies in Cheney's arrival time? People were paying more attention to screens showing planes hitting buildings and planes about to hit buildings than the amount of attention they were paying to a clock.
I never suggested that anyone should have been watching a clock? :blink: lol

We know what time certain events happened. So if someone says they did this, that and the other then hear of the Pentagon attack, we can work out what they were doing before or around the time of the Pentagon attack.

In other words before or around 9:37am.

I'm aware of Occam's razor, although I do not see what a 14th century friar as to do with my claims.

If we apply Occams razor and all the evidence suggests that Cheney was in the PEOC before 9:37am and even Cheney himself suggest he is in the PEOC before 9:58am, then what does William have to say on this subject?

A)That Cheney arrives in the PEOC before 9:37am,
B) That Cheney arrives at the PEOC at 9:58am, perhaps 10:00am? (As the commission claims!)

It would seem this way to you but for the simple reason you cannot show where or how I am making huge jumps in reasoning, bypassing the simplest solutions to find the one's that fit my ideology the best.

It highlights that you are giving me nothing more than your opinions....but they are not based on any reality, just the conclusions you have jumped too because the evidence doesn't support what you personally believe.
hiphopopotamus
 
Now, I might have missed something, but I see no smoking gun that allows for these jumps in reasoning.
I think you have missed quite a bit......like highlighting these supposed jumps in reasoning that you claim I making....lol

All I can say, is if you wish to continue, then prepare to look silly as it will highlight a simple logical fault and your psuedoskeptical critical thinking, in that you believe in the commission claims which is based on no solid reviewable evidence and requires nothing more or less than pure blind faith.

Lets look at this from your point of view to highlight the MAJOR logical fallacy you are committing here. lol

According to you and your logic, it would take tens of thousands of various government officials, military and civilians to pull this off.....

Yet it only requires 19 Arab Hijackers, Zacarias Moussaoui, Khalid_Shaikh_Mohammed and Osama Bin Laden! :ouch:

Surely if 22 on the outside can pull off 9/11, then it would require even less people on the inside to be able to pull this off? lol

How did you come to this conclusion that it requires (10,000+) tens of thousands of people working on the inside, but only 22 to commit it from working from the outside. lol

You also hilariously conclude/assume that those planning it would tell all these (10,000+) of theirs plans....lol

There is so much wrong with this logical fallacy, I could point out all the things wrong with it all day, but I think it is obvious that you can't/won't see the flaw of this argument!

We will show you that, when you have shown us evidence that OBL planned it.

Oh wait a minute, the FBI says they didn't have any hard evidence against him. No doubt, you are sitting on this evidence for your beliefs hey?? lol

You say you're not making any jump in reasoning, but to assume a government conspiracy from a ~20 minute difference in arrival time is the very definition of a jump in reasoning; there is nothing directly supporting or even insinuating a conspiracy about that information. You assume people are lying, when it makes just as much sense that someone is just plain incorrect. Everyone makes mistakes.

As for Osama, he is the head of A.Q. The alleged hijackers are members of A.Q. Even if Osama didn't directly plan the attacks, he is still the head of the group that carried them out. As for keeping it a secret, everyone know the fewer people in on a secret the less likely it will be spread. It is much easier for 22 people to keep it a secret than a few thousand. Especially when those people are bound by common threads of religious zealotry and hate, while the thousands of American's would probably be disgusted having taken part in the murder of their fellow citizens.

As for it taking fewer on the inside to pull it off, I don't think you're looking at it rationally. I pulled 10,000 out of my ass just to make a point. For a cover-up of this magnitude (doctoring evidence, laying charges in buildings, taking down airplanes, hindering investigations, shutting witnesses up) would take far more than 22 people. And like I pointed out before, this government couldn't keep the Valerie Plame leak secret at the highest levels of the executive branch, so why should we think that they were able to silence such a large group of people over a much more insidious plot?


As for the government killing 9/11 truth movement people, it only makes sense. They've already shown they don't care about killing people, and if a group on the internet is close to unraveling their secrets and exposing them to the world, one would think they would try to stop it in order keep their control of our society.

THE ENDS ALWAYS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS
.......ENDLESS WARS FOR ENDLESS PROFITS

There is huge profit in endless wars. You have never heard of the military-industrial-complex? All the bodies which fight the wars for them and end up in the body bags for cannnon fodder, cost them nothing (taxpayers pick up the costs). All the endless cost overruns and double and triple billing (witness Halliburton and Blackwater Mercenaries) mean huge profits for the corporate greedy. Concerning the oil, their intentions are to control the supplies. Two of their last victims in their wars of hegemony against the Middle East will be Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and they forcibly take their huge oil fields from them. Of course I believe they will fail in their mad dreams; but not before they cause extreme anguish and suffering among hundreds of millions of people including most Americans. But these are the international corporate greedy; so why should they care?

You need to read what one of highest decorated military generals wrote about the profits of war.

A literal meaning for al Qaeda is "the Toilet Bowl". The potty used by small children is called "Ma Qa'adia" or "Little Qaeda". What kind of terrorist organization would name itself after a toilet? This is an insider joke by our enemies; those who really were responsible for 9-11. They assume most Americans are too stupid and boob-tubed to figure it out. Another literal meaning of Al Qaeda is "the Database". Al Qaeda was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to fight the Soviets.

Osama bin Laden was a CIA asset (Tim Osman) and was recruited to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Rumsfeld met with Osama and gave him Stinger missiles to use against Soviet gunships. Osama was a fanatical Wahhabi Islamist. He died in December 2001 of advanced kidney disease. He told the world several times publicly that he had nothing to do with 9-11. The atrocities of 9-11 would be against his very strict Wahhabi beliefs. Then he died and a bunch of videos were produced by the Bush Regime attempting to blame him for 9-11. But it was Bush who desperately prevented investigations into 9-11 wasn't it? Guess whose beliefs would not be bothered much by the atrocities of 9-11? The alleged 19 hijackers did not carry out 9-11. That notion is ridiculous and impossible.

I do not suggest a government conspiracy from a time discrepancy, the evidence suggests it and it's not just from a 20 minute difference either, it is much larger than that if you bothered to look, instead of ignoring and making excuses to deny it.

Seeing as this the angle you are working from, show me how I am jumping to conclusions or where I am jumping in reasoning. .

hiphopopotamus
 
You assume people are lying, when it makes just as much sense that someone is just plain incorrect. Everyone makes mistakes.
Well it depends if the mistakes are accidental or intentional. The evidence would suggest it is intentional for a very good reason.

If someone told the commission that Cheney arrived at the PEOC after 9:58am, which is untrue, then the question is why?

You could argue that someone was mistaken, but all the evidence suggest that Cheney was at the PEOC before this time. So there was no mistake, just someone misleading them or maybe the commission is misleading the public?

So either the commission lied, or someone lied to the commission.

Its as simple as that!

Either way, people conspired to create this 9:58am timeline!

WOW! You have brought the official story hook line and sinker!

I could explain and show you that when Osama Bin Laden (OBL) and Ayman al-Zawahiri (AAZ) were trying to create their muslim state, they failed to get the support of the people. They had very little support for their revolutions, not even a serious complex organisation of terrorists and they relied on independent operatives to carry out their new call for jihad.

I could explain to you that after the US Embassy bombings in order to prosecute OBL for the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings, US prosecutors find a former associate of OBL called Jamal al-Fadl and pay him to testify that OBL was the head of a massive terrorist organisation called "al-Qaeda"

I could explain to you how many acts of terrorism are blamed on Al-Qaeda even though the reality is, there is no such organisation but a tag to label anyone the states sees as a terrorist. Al-Qaeda is now the new bogeyman name for any terrorist organisation regardless of it's affiliation or goals.

But that would be derailing the thread and seeing you have brought the offical story, hook line and sinker....I would just get called a liar, or mistaken! lol

Of course it is easier keeping a secret if less people know. Especially those people who are bound by common threads of money, greed and power and you just agreed, that the fewer people knew, the better the secret, so they wouldn't need thousands to take part in murdering Americans, which means it is not just the figure you pulled out of your ass, just your entire argument and point.

Yet you somehow still think that 22 people on the outside can do this, yet it would require more people working on the inside to pull this off? :ouch:

I'm not following your logic, but then you and logic are at odds!!

As for all the people who you think is needed to doctor the evidence, laying charges, taking down planes, shutting witnesses up! All you need to do is control where the investigation goes, and there is no need to find out who did all this, you can blame whoever you like.

And like I pointed out before, this government couldn't keep the Valerie Plame leak secret at the highest levels of the executive branch, so why should we think that they were able to silence such a large group of people over a much more insidious plot?

So because we found out a government secret about them leaking Valerie Plame name to the press, THIS MUST MEAN THEY CAN'T KEEP ANY OTHER SECRETS??

And again, you keep falling back on this large group of people....like your 10,000 figure no doubt! lol

If I discover a secret about you, that must mean you have no other secrets right?? :blink:

An update!!

Over at the SLC forum, who are not known for there debunking skills.

http://screwloosechange.xbehome.com/index.php?showtopic=1998&view=findpost&p=26264

Tinfoil Tie posted this video from fellow J**F Groupthink Member and Worshipper Boone870, in a new attempt to prove that Mineta and Belger were mistakenly watching UA93 and not AA77.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aKaEtq4EMoY&eurl=http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=130731

In it Boone uses 4 reference points from Mineta interview.

1)Great Falls
2)National Airport (DCA)
3)Down River Approach (DRA)
4)USA Today Building

In a desperate and piss poor attempt at debunking, he hilariously suggest that point 1 is actually Great Falls, in Montana as in this place. http://www.greatfallsmt.net/ Over 2000 miles away! lol

What he neglects to mention, realise or what nobody as yet pointed out to him, is that there is a Great Fall Park near Washington and the USA Today buildings!
http://www.nps.gov/grfa/planyourvisit/directions.htm

Here is the conversation which Boone is referring too. i highlighted it for emphasis...
Mineta
 
And a little later on, someone said, "Mr. Vice President, there's a plane 50-miles out." So I was talking to Monte Belger, the Deputy Director of the FAA, and I said, "Monte, what do you have 50-miles out?"

He said, "Well, we have a target, bogey, on the radar, but the transponder's been turned off, so we have no identification of this aircraft. We don't know who it is. We don't know what altitude it's at, speed or anything else. All we're doing is watching with the sweep of the radar, the dot moving from position to position."

So then someone came in, the same person came in and said, "Mr. Vice President, it -- the plane's 30-miles out." So I said, "Monte, can you see it, and where is it in relationship to the ground?"

He said, "Well, that's difficult to really determine. I would guess it's somewhere between Great Falls and National Airport, coming what they call the DRA, the down river approach."

And so then the person came in and said, "Mr. Vice President, the plane's ten-miles out," and so I said, "Monte, where is it?" and he said, "Well, I'm not really sure but I'd be guessing somewhere maybe between the USA Today building and, and National Airport."


So when the plane was 30 miles out, according to Boone870, when Mineta asks Belger "Monte, can you see it, and where is it in relationship to the ground?"

Belger tells Mineta "I would guess it's somewhere between Great Falls (Montana) and National Airport, coming what they call the DRA, the down river approach."

Even though Montana is over 2000 miles away from the National Airport! hahahahahahahahahaha!! Why would Belger tell him a location over 2000 miles away for a plane which is approx 30 miles away?? :blink: Debunkers are so devoid of rational logic that if Belger was really talking about Great Falls in Montana which they believe, then he is not talking about the location of a plane 30 miles away then is he! lol

He also forgets that there are literally hundreds of other closer locations that Belger could have used instead of giving Mineta a 2000 miles wide area to locate the plane if it was true. And again when it gets to 10 miles, Belger goes from being 2000 miles away to being specific as he guesses it's between USA today and the National Airport.

Of course, it is not true that Belger was talking about Montana!! lol As it as nothing to do with the location both he and Mineta are looking at! lol

Hilariously not a single debunker at J**F as pointed this obvious flaw out to him, or mentioned that there is a Great Falls near Washington, in this thread some one congratulates him by suggesting another one bites the dust.
http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=130731

What Boone870 as done is confirmed that Belger was definitely talking to Mineta about AA77, however I'm sure this Boone character will not update his video with the correct location of Great Falls in relation to AA77 flight path. There is no chance of that happening....lol

Its a shame that the debunking crowd as resorted to new lows of desperation, in order to avoid facing the uncomfortable fact they are wrong! lol

No he is not!

The USA Today HQ is only a 5 mile drive from Great Falls, on his map, the location is much further away than Washington DC Airport which is only about 24 miles away from USA Today HQ.

Here is Google Maps with all the correct addresses in.

1)Great Falls - Point A on Google Maps - 9200 Old Dominion Dr, McLean, VA 22102.
http://www.nps.gov/grfa/planyourvisit/directions.htm

2)National Airport (DCA) - Point B on Google Maps - 1 Aviation Cir, Washington, DC 20001, United States (Metro Washington Airport Auth)
http://www.mwaa.com/about_the_authority/contact_us

3)Down River Approach (DRA) Potomac River.

4)USA Today Building - Point C on Google Maps - 7950 Jones Branch Dr McLean, VA 22102, United States

Actually it is my mistake, he doesn't mention Great Falls in MT, but I put the location into Google Maps and the only one it came up with was the one in Montana.

However, the location that Boone points too is still wrong, even if I thought it was the one in Montana, for the simple reason it is too far away from USA Today HQ and much further than 5 miles away!

I'm referring to the old USA Today Building, the Silver Towers in Rosslyn where the USA Today headquarters were located in 2001.
OK Boone, I got it wrong as I wasn't aware of USA Today move, so that explains why I was mistaken with your location of Great Falls on the map.

However, what I want to point out something which I feel is important which you are misunderstanding.

On your video you quote Mineta but miss out important information.

In your video you say this.....
Boone870
 
I would guess it's somewhere between Great Falls and National Airport, coming what they call the DRA, the down river approach." and "Well, I'm not really sure but I'd be guessing somewhere maybe between the USA Today building and, and National Airport"


However the full quote as lots of other information which you are missing and is important because Mineta asks Belger for the locations at different times. So here is the full quote...

Mineta
 
And a little later on, someone said, "Mr. Vice President, there's a plane 50-miles out." So I was talking to Monte Belger, the Deputy Director of the FAA, and I said, "Monte, what do you have 50-miles out?"

He said, "Well, we have a target, bogey, on the radar, but the transponder's been turned off, so we have no identification of this aircraft. We don't know who it is. We don't know what altitude it's at, speed or anything else. All we're doing is watching with the sweep of the radar, the dot moving from position to position."

So then someone came in, the same person came in and said, "Mr. Vice President, it -- the plane's 30-miles out." So I said, "Monte, can you see it, and where is it in relationship to the ground?"

He said, "Well, that's difficult to really determine. I would guess it's somewhere between Great Falls and National Airport, coming what they call the DRA, the down river approach."

And so then the person came in and said, "Mr. Vice President, the plane's ten-miles out," and so I said, "Monte, where is it?" and he said, "Well, I'm not really sure but I'd be guessing somewhere maybe between the USA Today building and, and National Airport."
You are equating all 4 locations at the same time, when the reality is he is asking at different times....

Mineta hears the man telling Cheney plane is 30 miles out, so he asks Belger for a location which Belger replies. "Well, that's difficult to really determine. I would guess it's somewhere between Great Falls and National Airport, coming what they call the DRA, the down river approach."

Then when the plane gets down to 10 miles out, he asks Belger again for a location which Belger replies " USA Today building and, and National Airport."

When we put the whole of Mineta quote back in context, it fits AA77 because when the plane is 30 miles, Belger guesses its between Great Falls and National Airport. Then when the plane is 10 miles out, he guesses it is between the USA Today and National Airport.

This describes the rough location of AA77 and there are many other reasons why it can't be the projected path of UA93.

Just came accross this...cause I've just been on Wikipedia and they say this about Mineta.

Wiki
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Mineta
This same article also reports that the conversation between Cheney and the aide occurred at 9:55 am, about 30 minutes later than the time Mineta cited (9:26 am) during his testimony to the 9/11 Commission.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A42754-2002Jan26_3.html


But when you click on the article it says this...it actually contradicts what Wikipedia says.

The Article Wikipedia links too
 

Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta, summoned by the White House to the bunker, was on an open line to the Federal Aviation Administration operations center, monitoring Flight 77 as it hurtled toward Washington, with radar tracks coming every seven seconds. Reports came that the plane was 50 miles out, 30 miles out, 10 miles out-until word reached the bunker that there had been an explosion at the Pentagon.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A42754-2002Jan26_3.html


Are debunkers desperately trying to discredit Mineta statement? Are they so stupid, that they suggest the conversation doesn't happen until 9:55 when he never says anything of a sort.

Are they too stupid to realise that this conversation then disproves the commission, because Cheney isn't in the PEOC until 9:58. lol

What kind of imagination do you have to have to invest and lie about such shit, it's appears to be nothing more than desperation. lol

Found some great links and am working through them.

Cheney changing his story about what he did on the morning of 9/11 in interviews after the Tim Russert Interview. Here he claims he is in the tunnel when he hears of the Pentagon attack.

Shit, so it's game over for my theory? :ermm: No! :D

Here is an interview with Libby Scooter.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/16869893/NY-B10-Farmer-Misc-WH-3-of-3-Fdr-111601-Newsweek-Interview-of-Scooter-Libby-476

In it he says that....

Cheney is taken to the PEOC, but when he heads down there, he is in the corridor talking to the President.
That the SS detail with Mrs Cheney move her to the PEOC.
That he and Cheney are in the PEOC, when they hear of the Pentagon attack.


Here is an interview with Eric S Edelman who was at the White House with Libby.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/16942234/NY-B10-Farmer-Misc-WH-3-of-3-Fdr-102501-Evan-ThomasNewsweek-Interview-of-Eric-Edelman-479

And guess what?

He claims that Richard Clarke was in the Situation Room as he claims.
He claims that Mineta, Cheney and Rice were in the PEOC when they hear of the Pentagon attack.

So that is Libby & Edelman who now contradict the official story!

Will chime in more when I have time. :)

I haven't seen any evidence (or proofs as Citizen Pawn put oh so well) so far of a conspiracy. All I see is a bunch of inferences made from conflicting stories that assume a massive conspiracy. You know what makes a whole lot more sense than assuming conspiracy from the discrepancies in Cheney's arrival time? People were paying more attention to screens showing planes hitting buildings and planes about to hit buildings than the amount of attention they were paying to a clock. Maybe people were too afraid of seeming like they were not doing their job in a crisis, so they're sticking to an obvious flawed story to make themselves not look like a gawker. That seems a bit more plausible (at least in my mind) than deriving a conspiracy.

I'm sure you're aware of Occam's razor (all things being equal, the simplest solution is the best), its one of the most popular philosophical ideas in popular culture. It seems to me you're making huge jumps in reasoning, bypassing the simplest solutions to find the one's that fit your ideology the best. Now, I might have missed something, but I see no smoking gun that allows for these jumps in reasoning.
Stop posting as Stundie requested only to help clarify Hippo, Occams Razor will not save us just to shave us, please note that there are 2 spellings of Occams Razor & Ockhams Razor and it proves Occams Razor is a paradox that should not be used, unless you use it to prove yourself right being the simplest spelling is correct... I am perplexed too as I shaved with Occams Razor but my beard keeps coming back.

It is concerning to me that someone would use Occams Razor to not shave the beard of lies upon the bold face holding the Gillette of Mineta testimony, expecting us to see shaving cream but we know this is only a cover up of the beard of lies caused by foaming at the mouth! It sucks when investigations create complexities that only seem dull to debunkers compared to a sufficiently sharp Ockhams Razor.

And you have no Idea what you are talking about Valerie Plame, you should listen to what she had to say personally with her husband about Cheney. And that was coming from a now outed CIA agent. So would you prefer to use as something substantiated? A quote from Valerie or your own opinion about how sharp your Ockhams Razor looks now?

Hippo, have you ever heard of Pilots for 911 Truth? Wonder why they think those manuvers were impossible... But I don't think Stundie wants to discuss that here...
