Ping to another puzzle
I'm very skeptical about this story. Since it comes from a tinfoil hat site, I suspect it's simply not true. Always consider the source.
Sounds like tinfoil hat time to me.
Honorary firefighter Mike Bellone claims he was approached by unknown bureau agents a short time after he and his partner, Nicholas DeMasi, a retired New York firefighter, found three of the four “black boxes” among the WTC rubble before January 2002.
Finding three of the black boxes in all that chaos, doesn't sound right. First paragraph said he was to keep quiet about "one" of the black boxes.
Something doesn't sound right here.
Huh?
An FBI spokesman in New York, Jim Margolin, said after checking with the leader of the Ground Zero investigation that none of the boxes were recovered.-------------------------------------
Frank Gribbon, the FDNY spokesman, also said “no one in the Department is aware of the recovery of any of the airline "black boxes" at the WTC site.”
Bellone has encounted some unrelated problems in connection with the TRAC group, however. In April, the New York Post reported (story not available online) that TRAC owned money to a number of creditors, including the company that published the book. Fire officials also told Bellone, who was made an honorary firefighter by a New York engine company, that he couldn’t wear an official uniform on school visits.
Well, someone's lying.
Could it be these two guys, or
everybody else?
A FF should not be talking if a Federal Official investigating an international war crime told him to STFU.... since he is talking I am skeptical, b/c that would make him a punk---- and I don't like to think of FF that way.
look for some story in the next few days by some " un-named source" digging up some dirt on this guys personal life. Always happens.
What really happened? That question reveals the bias.
These conspiracy theorists need to take a breath, sit back and think for a bit. If the Government was behind 9/11, don't you think they would have dealt with the black boxes before the crashes. There is no way they could have known where the boxes would end up. If they are powerful and skillful enough to pull off 9/11 and blame it on terrorists, I sincerely doubt they would have allowed the black boxes to contain any evidence when they could not be sure of custody after the crash.
It is amazing how consistently conspiracy theorists turn off their critical thinking in order to maintain their position. It borders on psychosis.
Interesting things about this story.
Who, outside of a specially trained person, would be able to idetify a "black box" in all that rubble? I wouldn't recognize one if it was sitting on my desk. I mean, was it labeled "Black Box"?
So, an FBI agent takes something from you that you believe is VERY important and you don't even bother to get his name?
Other than that, this is a hugh, series story.
The WTC, the shuttle Columbia - I understand this fellow also helped with the cleanup after the crash of the Hindenburg.
I believe the reason is, the hijackers gave big anti-American martyrdom type speeches before hitting, and we dont want to give them the air time or recognition as heros to their psycho followers.
Gee. This couldn't me a transparent plug for buying the book, could it?
Bureaucratic arbitrariness. Abuse of power. Does it matter?
It's exactly the same reason that "they" decided for all 330 million Americans, that they could not choose to view most of the video shot that day.
Arbitrary and capricious. Abuse of power. Bureaucracies do that. Very well. If allowed to.
It's pretty evident that the government screwed up without consulting the black boxes.
Just for speculation's sake, what motive could there be to pre-emptively deny or cover-up the discovery of the FDR's BEFORE it was known what was on them?
Of course, it was widely known from the outside that the aircraft were hijacked by the Islamofascists because of the numerous personal cell phone calls describing the scenes inside the doomed aircraft.
So, what reasons could there be to deny or supress this information...?
:cough, cough: Bullsh*t :cough, cough:
Unnamed FBI agents ... other witnesses who won't talk ... honorary firefighter ... retired firefighter
This is typical conspiracy theory stuff. I think the guy is just trying to get his fifteen minutes.
Alex Jones has probably already had this guy on and is using him as a source in his videos claiming the WTC attack was carried out by the CIA.
