I don't believe in Pierre Salinger Syndrome. It's a conspiracy.

Yup, center fuel tanks routinely explode.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

Just a little revisionism clean-up operation here, so move along.

You know there has been an alternative theory that a small private plane may have fired the missle at the aircraft. I.E. a terrorist attack. But that's probably just my Salinger Syndrome getting to me again, BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

>the term "Pierre Salinger Syndrome" - the belief that everything on the Internet is true

Last week, I wanted
to know which Tolkien book had
"On Fairy Stories."

I looked it up at
Wikipedia and got
the correct answer!

Genie, get BACK in that bottle!

"Then came Pierre Salinger." Oh, no, not true. Before Pierre Salinger came a dozen eyewitnesses on Long Island who saw something quite different from what we are now expected to believe!

I am glad you cleared the TWA-800 up for me. I never believed the 125 witnesses that saw the missile leave the deck and hit the plane. Clearly this was a center fuel tank problem.

[Hawthorn]

Was this the flight that Laurie Mylroie says exploded on Saddam's "Iraq National Day" or some other such Saddam-celebrated holiday?

[Shooter 2.5]

As for Salinger, after years of suffering from dementia, he died of heart failure in 2004, but his syndrome lives on.

I feel a little guilty, but I think that last line is pretty funny.

Hal1950 has a 'Pierre Salinger Syndrome' about "The TWA 800 Conspiracies", -- in reverse.


In the last few days hal, I counted about a dozen different threads you've posted on flight 800... - Whats up kiddo?

[CurlyBill]

God bless all the passengers of that flight... including Patrick Bell, a high school classmate of mine.

Speaking of Pierre - and something relevent to recent 'news' of Joe Wilson & "CIA Operative" Valerie Plame that appeared on FR in the past :

* Pierre Salinger :

1998 : (GABON'S PRESIDENT OMAR BONGO TRAVELS TO THE US; GABON HIRED WILSON'S SECOND WIFE, THE FRENCH WOMAN JACQUELINE, AS A LOBBYIST. PIERRE SALINGER AND OTHER LOBBYISTS WERE ALSO EMPLOYED - See NIGERFLAP / CIA PLAME NAME GAME) Here’s a French language article regarding a 1998 trip by Gabon President Omar Bongo to the United States. Apparently, the Gabonese hired Wilson’s second wife Jacqueline as a lobbyist in support of the trip. Another who worked with her was the famous Pierre Salinger, known for many things, eg he was JFK’s press secretary and for his TWA 800 theories. But even more lobbyists were engaged, they apparently had a “too many cooks in the kitchen” kind of conflict, and the trip didn’t come off well Joseph Wilson was “very present” at the events of the visit. -- Source: FreeRepublic's Shermy using this source

Salinger wrote a book on the first Gulf War, “Dossier.” In it are about ten pages of a recounting of conversations between Saddam [Hussein] and [Joseph] Wilson. I can only guess Wilson was the source.-- Source: FreeRepublic's Shermy , in 1 posted on 04/16/2004 1:01:47 PM PDT by Shermy

I prefer government spokesmen and the media over eyewitnesses. Now can I go back to watching beer and drinking sports?

[ladyinred]

I can't understand why anyone who looks at evidence is thought to be some sort of a nut. There is evidence to the contrary of the official story that is credible as well.
