We briefly discussed the Pentagon attack and Mark is trusting the dozens of expert and credible eye witnesses that, in fact, a B-757 is what struck the Pentagon. John Judge, of 9/11 Citizens Watch, another organization I have the highest respect for is on the record as saying that the various theories discounting the 757 are either honestly misguided attempts to explain a remarkable attack, or else that some may have ill intent and are spreading disinformation. The photo on Mark's website did not come up in conversation. It's a minor point, as far as I'm concerned. Everyone who is or has studied the bizarre 9/11 story has considered many possibilities and occasionally taken wrong steps. I know I certainly have been wrong on a number of my previously held ideas. That seems to be what happens when an organization like the Department of Defense is both spreading deliberate disinformation on the one hand, and withholding vast amounts of closely held information on the other. *** Re: Even if they over flew it on the first pass, the idea they could make a big loop to hit the Pentagon, but not the White House, is patently absurd. I'm not a mind-reader, so I cannot speak for the pilot of the 757 which struck the Pentagon. There certainly are tantalizing reasons, one of which you've suggested, to conclude that the Pentagon attack was a false flag operation. I would have to think that any real Muslim terrorist organization would wish to target the command & control center of the Pentagon complex, rather than the most heavily fortified and least occupied wing of the building. *** Re: If, as the Oil Empire folks say, it was indeed a 757 which hit the Pentagon, what possible motive would there be to confiscate all of the video which would show that to be the case? I did pose that question to Mark. To paraphrase, his response was that ambiguity is useful to perpetrators of false flag operations (my words, not his) and that keeping people in a state of ignorance is useful to those who seek the psychological upper hand.
