FAST-TRACKING THE GLOBAL AGENDA UNDER THE COVER OF WAR
(It's) Official White House Press Release on the Caspian Sea Pipeline.
Yeah, pretty much. A piece here, a piece there. Little pieces, mostly. Although about ten minutes ago, they just pulled another largish piece of a human body out of the rubble and gave it the flag-and-stretcher treatment. Every now and then, they do still find a mostly-whole body. But mostly they find pieces. Out at the landfill there are even more people than at Ground Zero, literally running the dust through sifters to find bone fragments. Every piece will be DNA-tested. Eventually we will know how many separate individuals were recovered at the site.
You really put any credence in the "take 220 storeys and do the math" method? That assumes that everyone in both buildings was "trapped" as though they were above the impact zone, like Cantor Fitzgerald, and that nobody was able to get out at all, even though they had almost an hour to escape Tower 2 and about an hour and forty-five minutes to get out of Tower 1. Yet this paragraph seems to suggest that 38,000+ people managed to die that day without anyone knowing about it, including the people themselves (they're at work, most of them, in the new offices their companies relocated to. They don't have a clue that they're really dead. Neither do their families and friends, who never reported them missing and continue to interact with them in a normal manner).
The only hope I hold out for this Chamish fellow is that there are quotes around the various paragraphs; so maybe these paragraphs in quotations are all wild-ass theories that various uninformed nutbars suggested to him during his travels, instead of this own "thoughts" on the subject. IF these are his own conclusions, though, he's a loon.
There was no precedent that suggested the intent of the hijackers to use the planes as suicide cruise missiles against buildings. Previous hijackers made demands and threatened only the lives of the passengers.
BTW, do you know where I can get real tinfoil? I don't trust that aluminum stuff!
Some conspiracy-minded folks are suspicious of our government deliberately inflating the death toll to whip up the war fever and give carte blanche to any action the government decides to take; yet this guy thinks they're suppressing the deaths of tens of thousands. And you seem to think the idea is reasonable. So tell me, what would be the motive for covering up the deaths of 38,500 people? And how would they hope to get away with it, considering the number of witnesses and survivors, not to mention the families of the 38,500? Hmm?
Fee Fie Foe Fum, I smell the blood of a DU Troll!
If you were a grieving member of a family, how would you really know how many other grieving families there were?
Passenger manifests of the four aircraft list a bunch of people. Flight 93 crashing because the PASSENGERS on board attempted to regain control of the aircraft from the PEOPLE who hijacked it.
OK, my facts to the contrary are posted.
Usama is really just my cut-out. He's actually one of my indestructible killing machines. Well, OK, he's a proto-type. So there's a few bugs in the programming. Sue me.
Anyhoot, see you carbon based life forms at the coming armeggedon!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa....< cough, hack... >
Utterly beside the point (and it doesn't answer my question as to motive, either). Most of these people don't know each other. The people who worked together in the same companies DID know each other. What would induce them to keep quiet? Don't you think any of them have, at the very least, looked at the list of names for people they personally knew? Wouldn't the absence of the name of somebody they KNEW didn't make it out that day set off an alarm? Provoke phone calls to relatives of the deceased, and to reporters? Remember, 700 per four floors. 38,500 people. Too many to be ignored or swept under the rug. This happened in New York, not Antartica.
If you were an employee of a business formerly located in the World Trade Center, wouldn't you notice the huge number of your coworkers who failed to show up at their new offices, or who suddenly couldn't be reached anymore? And I'm still wondering how it would be in anyone's interest (with the exception of America's enemies) to downplay the death toll, rather than inflate it. You don't have even a speculative reply for that..
If the numbers are in the tens of thousands, perhaps that would set off more of an investigation. We will probably also part company on this--I am not buying that only those planes took down those buildings.
Did you read the story in the link I provided? Do you give her an outside chance of being believed?
And no, it wasn't "good for me, too"...
