From: Peter Meyer To: D. D. McNicoll Date: April 6, 2002 Subject: Plane that hit the Pentagon Dear Mr McNicoll,A colleague of mine in Australia faxed to me the paragraph in your column in The Australian of April 5, 2002 (p.11). For the benefit of other readers of this message, which will soon be appearing on my Serendipity website, I quote the first half of your paragraph:
Big bang theory
FURTHER to the conspiracy theory — that no aircraft hit the Pentagon last September — which is being expounded by French author Thierry Meyssan in his book 'The Frightening Fraud'. Should you wish to see some of the pictures of the Pentagon attack which have a large number of French citizens no longer believing the official US government story, you can access them online. ...
by the more direct URL: http://www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm
It should be noted that this site does not say that no aircraft hit the Pentagon. It could be taken to suggest that the damage was caused by a truck bomb, but a careful inspection will reveal that the site suggests only that the damage was NOT caused by a Boeing 757.
The thesis by the French author is either mistaken, or it is another instance of what Carol Valentine has called "the fake opposition" (see http://serendipity.magnet.ch/wot/anti-war.htm).
As one commentator, Dick Eastman, puts it:
>The French "no-plane" thesis is disinformation —
>it is the sending in of a buffoon to refute a clown.>It's an old trick — if the "official" version is absurd
>and readily dismissed by simple direct inspection of
>physical evidence — then the deception can only be
>defended by "puffing" a counter explanation that is even
>more absurd.Or in other words, an alternative explanation is presented which purports to deny the truth of the official story, but the alternative is either grossly implausible or is easily refuted by reference to the evidence. The discrediting of the alternative is then used to support the official version. The problem with Meyssan's thesis is that a plane actually did hit the Pentagon — but it wasn't a Boeing 757. As Dick Eastman has pointed out, what actually happened is that a considerably smaller jet (probably remotely controlled) hit the Pentagon. This may have been an F-16 fighter which released a missile just before impact. Or it may have been a commuter jet filled with high explosives. You can see this in the images released by (or leaked from?) the Pentagon — http://www.bosankoe.btinternet.co.uk/pentagon.gif (same as below).
Frame 1: The outline of a fighter jet, probably an F-16, is visible toward the right of the picture. A larger version of this frame can be viewed at http://www.thepowerhour.com/pentgallery/images/pentani.jpg (and below).
Frame 2: A huge, white-hot, fireball erupts. Such an intensely hot fireball would not result from the ignition of jet fuel (burning in air) but would result from the detonation of a missile carrying a high-explosive warhead (or from the detonation of high explosives on board the jet).
Frames 3, 4 and 5: Here you see the red fireball resulting from the impact of the jet (together with the cooling fireball from the explosion).
The damage to the Pentagon is not consistent with an impact by a 757 Boeing jetliner but is consistent with an impact by an F-16 jet immediately following a missile strike.
So if it was an F-16 jet which hit the Pentagon, what happened to AA Flight 77, the Boeing jet which, according to the official story, hit the Pentagon? And what happened to the passengers on board this jet?
The answer has been given by an informant of Carol Valentine (see http://serendipity.magnet.ch/wot/plissken.htm), from which we may construct the following account (in part) of what happened to AA Flight 77 and its passengers:
1. Some time after AA Flight 77 takes off its pilots are informed that the U.S. is under attack and that they are to shut down their transponder and land their plane at the nearest military base (directions to the base are given). The pilots obey this order.
2. The Twin Towers are hit by planes (but not AA Flight 11 or UA Flight 175, which are also diverted to the same military base) and shortly after are brought down in a controlled demolition by means as yet undetermined, but possibly by explosives within the buildings.
3. An F-16, probably remotely controlled, approaches the Pentagon at ground level, fires a missile, and a split-second later crashes into the building.
4. The official (pre-written) story of a simultaneous hijacking of four Boeing passenger jets by Arab terrorists acting under orders from Usama bin Laden is released to the U.S. mainstream media and promoted non-stop by the media whores.
5. The passengers from the planes which were AA Flight 77, AA Flight 11 and UA Flight 175 are herded onto UA Flight 93, which (as with the other three planes) has been ordered to land at the same military base.
6. The plane which was UA Flight 93 takes off from the military base and flies toward Washington in a fake "terrorist attack". It is shot down by a U.S. Air Force fighter jet over Pennsylvania. All passengers and crew from all four "hijacked" planes (other than those who are part of the operation) are by this means killed.
Thus those who planned and carried out the September 11th attacks not only caused the deaths of about 3,000 people in the Twin Towers and a few hundred military personnel at the Pentagon, but also deliberately murdered about 200 people who were on board the four Boeing jetliners to eliminate witnesses to their "high crimes". We may reasonably guess at who they are (George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld come to mind). If the identities of the perpetrators are ever established they know they will go before a firing squad. Therefore we can be sure that (unless they are removed from their present positions of influence) they will do whatever they deem necessary to escape detection, even if this means causing the deaths of yet more thousands of American citizens in "terrorist" attacks.
