Would the Pentagon Alter 9/11 Photos? U bet

by dougr
Wed Sep 27th, 2006 at 04:43:57 PM EST

Fallen light poles? airplane scraps? big hole? little hole? battling widespread fire?
The .mil and .gov photos of the Pentagon on 9/11 show it all...or do they?  When clear evidence of fakery in the photos shows up...who's to know what we're looking at?
Some of the fakery even appears to have been perpetrated just for fun!  For starters I give you...the YIELD sign that doesn't exist!  Or does it?
The closer shot includes a yield sign while the further back shot doesn't.  Both photos taken from exactly the same angle.  Note the fire truck on the left, the spools in center and the mangled fencing on the right.
The orientation of the face of the building itself matches up perfectly in both shots too.
Playful sons of guns photoshopping.

BAE Systems has on its board William Schneider Jr. who is also connected with
International Planning Services, Inc.: President
G2 Satellite Solutions: Advisory board
Defense Forecasts International: Member, Board of Directors
Defense Group, Inc.(DGI): Member, Board of Directors

Schneider was a signatory to 7 of the 13 most commonly referenced letters and statements which outline the goals espoused by the Project for a New American Century...the neocon manifesto.

One of these letters, written within 9 days after 9/11 states, in part,
"A serious and victorious war on terrorism will require a large increase in defense spending. Fighting this war may well require the United States to engage a well-armed foe, and will also require that we remain capable of defending our interests elsewhere in the world. We urge that there be no hesitation in requesting whatever funds for defense are needed to allow us to win this war."
http://www.newamericancentury.org/Bushletter.htm

Then in Jan 2003,
"To rebuild, transform, and man our military adequately for its many missions and responsibilities, defense spending will need to be increased by an additional $70 to $100 billion."

What we KNOW about 9/11 - Crashing the Gate

by dougr
Tue Sep 19th, 2006 at 09:09:02 PM EST

So, there I was, minding my own business with an occasional diary on kos.  They kind of went in a series focusing on the advance of domestically repressive policies, rules and actions under the bush govt.  One of them even attained that much sought "rescued" status.  Each one took small semi-furtive steps toward that which should not be named on kos...9/11.  The single most important event in a majority of peoples' lives today.  An event from which EVERYTHING wrong with the current administration stems.  With the "official" story as its battering ram, the administration's egregious actions are, for all intents and purposes, unassailable.  Torture, secret prisons, 2 illegal wars, domestic spying, assaulting academic freedom...on and on and on.  Unless 9/11 can be taken down, very little can be changed.  Knowing this, I found it impossible to stay on the very edge at kos.  So...
