Recently, I have been getting a lot of email about the war in Iraq.  Normally, these misbegotten pieces of almost literate literature get tossed into the junk pile like all other things that I get that aren't solicited.

Junk mail (a whole different rant in and of itself) isn't a welcome contributor to my life.

So, when I recieved this particular piece it was bound for the virtual circular file (that would be the trash bin) like all the rest. Until I noticed that it was (dare I say it?) a friend who had sent it to me. Now this person knows my views on the trash that is being sent around the net and also knew that I would blast them verbally for forwarding me anything.

This prompted me to open the email and look it over.

It had some thought provoking words that I am going to share with you. I have included it in its entirety as it was sent to me.

It is not politically correct.

It is not for children.

It does require you to think.

You have been warned,

This is the most cogent and powerful essay on the threat of Islamic
terrorism I have seen.  Dr.  Vernon Chong. It is without a doubt the
most articulate and convincing writing I have read regarding the War
in Iraq.  If you have any doubts please open your mind to his essay
and give a fair evaluation.  It's also eerily applicable to other
current issues (Iran's nuclear program, immigration, NAFTA's impact on
American jobs, trade deficits, etc.).  I had no idea who Dr. Chong is
,  or the source of these thoughts... so when I received them, I
almost deleted them - as well-written as they are.  But then I did a
"Google search" on the Doctor and found him to be a retired Air Force
Surgeon of all things and past Commander of Wilford Hall Medical
Center inSan Antonio.  So he is real, is connected to Veterans affairs
inCalifornia, and these are his thoughts.  They are worth reading and
thinking about! (the same Google search will direct you to some of his
other thought-provoking writings.)


If you would like to see who this fellow is, go to this Air Force web
site and look him up.  http://www.af.mil/bios/bio.asp?bioID=5000

Subject: Muslims, terrorist and the USA: A different spin on Iraqwar.

This WAR is for REAL!
Dr. Vernon Chong, Major General, USAF, Retired

To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.  Our
country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we
know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes
WWII).

The deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there
are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this  war and even
fewer who realize what losing really means.

First, let's examine a few basics:

1. When did the threat to us start?

Many will say September 11, 2001.
The answer as far as the United States is concerned is 1979, 22 years
prior to September 2001, with the following attacks on us:

* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;
* Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983;
* Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;
* Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;
* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993;
* Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;
* Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998;
* Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998;
* Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000;
* New York World Trade Center 2001;
* Pentagon 2001.

(Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581
terrorist attacks worldwide).


2. Why were we attacked?

Envy of our position, our success, and our freedoms.  The attacks
happened during the administrations of Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush
1, Clinton and Bush 2.  We cannot fault either the Republicans or
Democrats as there were no provocations by any of the presidents or
their immediate predecessor, President Ford.

3. Who were the attackers?
In each case, the attacks on the US were carried out by Muslims.

4. What is the Muslim population of the World?
25%.

5. Isn't the Muslim Religion peaceful?

Hopefully, but that is really not material.  There is no doubt that
the predominately Christian population of Germany was peaceful, but
under the dictatorial leadership of Hitler (who was also Chris tian),
that made no difference.  You either went along with the
administration or you were eliminated.  There were 5 to 6 million
Christians killed by the Nazis for political reasons (including 7,000
Polish priests).
(see http://www.Nazis.testimony.co.uk/7-a.htm)

Thus, almost the same number of Christians were killed by the Nazis,
as the six million holocaust Jews who were killed by them, and we
seldom heard of anything other than the Jewish atrocities.  Although
Hitler kept the world focused on the Jews, he had no hesitancy about
killing anyone who got in his way of exterminating the Jews or of
taking over the world - German, Christian or any others.


Same with the Muslim terrorists.  They focus the world on theUS, but
kill all in the way -- their own people or the Spanish, French or
anyone else. The point here is that just like the peaceful Germans
were of no protection to anyone from the Nazis, no matter how many
peaceful Muslims there may be, they are no protection for us from the
terrorist Muslim leaders and what they are fanatically bent on doing
-- by their own pronouncements -- killing all of us "infidels."  I
don't blame the peaceful Muslims.  What would you do if the choice was
shut up or die?

6. So who are we at war with?

There is no way we can honestly respond that it is anyone other than
the Muslim terrorists.  Trying to be politically correct and avoid
verbalizing this conclusion can well be fatal.  There is no way to win
if you don't clearly recognize and articulate who you are fighting.


So with that background, now to the two major questions:

1. Can we lose this war?

2. What does losing really mean?

If we are to win, we must clearly answer these two pivotal questions:

We can definitely lose this war, and as anomalous as it may sound, the
major reason we can lose is that so many of us simply do not fathom
the answer to the second question - What does losing mean?

It would appear that a great many of us think that losing the war
means hanging our heads, bringing the troops home and going on about
our business, like post-Vietnam.  This is as far from the truth as one
can get.

What losing really means is:

We would no longer be the premier country in the world.  The attacks
will not subside, but rather will steadily increase.  Remember, they
want us dead, not just quiet.  If they had just wanted us quiet, they
would not have produced an increasing series of attacks against us,
over the past 18 years.  The plan was, clearly, for terrorists to
attack us until we were neutered and submissive to them.

We would, of course, have no future support from other nations, for
fear of reprisals and for the reason that they would see; we are
impotent and cannot help them.

They will pick off the other non-Muslim nations, one at a time.  It
will be increasingly easier for them.  They already hold Spain
hostage.  It doesn't matter whether it was right or wrong for Spain to
withdraw its troops from Iraq.  Spain did it because the Muslim
terrorists bombed their train and told them to withdraw the troops.
Anything else they want Spain to do will be done.  Spain is finished.

The next will probably be France.  Our one hope on France is that they
might see the light and realize that if we don't win, they are
finished too, in that they can't resist the Muslim terrorists without
us.  However, it may already be too late for France. France is already
20% Muslim and fading fast!

Without our support Great Britain will go too.  recently I read that
there are more mosques in England than churches.

If we lose the war, our production, income, exports and way of life
will all vanish as we know it.  After losing, who would trade or deal
with us if they were threatened by the Muslims.  If we can't stop the
Muslim terrorists, how could anyone else?

The radical Muslims fully know what is riding on this war, and
therefore are completely committed to winning, at any cost.  We better
know it too and be likewise committed to winning at any cost.

Why do I go on at such lengths about the results of losing?  Simple.
Until we recognize the costs of losing, we cannot unite and really put
100% of our thoughts and efforts into winning.  And it is going to
take that 100% effort to win.

So, how can we lose the war?

Again, the answer is simple.  We can lose the war by "imploding."
That is, defeating ourselves by refusing to recognize the enemy and
their purpose, and really digging in and lending full support to the
war effort.  If we are united, there is no way that we can lose.  If
we continue to be divided, there is no way that we can win!


Let me give you a few examples of how we simply don't comprehend the
life and death seriousness of this situation.

President Bush selects Norman Mineta as Secretary of Transportation.
Although all of the terrorist attacks were committed by Muslim men
between 17 and 40 years of age, Secretary Mineta refuses to allow
profiling.  Does that sound like we are taking this thing seriously?
This is war!  For the duration, we are going to have to give up some
of the civil rights we have become accustomed to.  We had better be
prepared to lose some of our civil rights temporarily or we will most
certainly lose all of them permanently.


And don't worry that it is a slippery slope.  We gave up plenty of
civil rights during WWII, and immediately restored them after the
victory and in fact added many more since then.

Do I blame President Bush or President Clinton before him?

No, I blame us for blithely assuming we can maintain all of our
Political Correctness, and all of our civil rights during this
conflict and have a clean, lawful, honorable war.  None of those words
apply to war.  Get them out of your head.

Some have gone so far in their criticism of the war and/or the
Administration that it almost seems they would literally like to see
us lose.
I think some actually do, I hasten to add that this isn't because they
are disloyal.  It is because they just don't recognize what losing
means.  Nevertheless, that conduct gives the impression to the enemy
that we are divided and weakening.  It concerns our friends, and it
does great damage to our cause.

Of more recent vintage, the uproar fueled by the politicians and media
regarding the treatment of some prisoners of war, perhaps exemplifies
best what I am saying.  We have recently had an issue, involving the
treatment of a few Muslim prisoners of war, by a small group of our
military police.  These are the type prisoners who just a few months
ago were throwing their own people off buildings, cutting off their
hands, cutting out their tongues and otherwise murdering their own
people just for disagreeing with Saddam Hussein.

And just a few years ago these same type prisoners chemically killed
400,000 of their own people for the same reason.  They are also the
same type of enemy fighters, who recently were burning Americans, and
dragging their charred corpses through the streets of Iraq.  And still
more recently, the same type of enemy that was and is providing videos
to all news sources internationally, of the beheading of American
prisoners they held.

Compare this with some of our press and politicians, who for several
days have thought and talked about nothing else but the "humiliating"
of some Muslim prisoners -- not burning them, not dragging their
charred corpses through the streets, not beheading them, but
"humiliating" them.

Can this be for real?

The politicians and pundits have even talked of impeachment of the
Secretary of Defense.  If this doesn't show the complete lack of
comprehension and understanding of the seriousness of the enemy we are
fighting, the life and death struggle we are in and the disastrous
results of losing this war, nothing can.

To bring our country to a virtual political standstill over this
prisoner issue makes us look like Nero playing his fiddle asRome
burned -- totally oblivious to what is going on in the real world.
Neither we, nor any other country, can survive this internal strife.
Again I say, this does not mean that some of our politicians or media
people are disloyal.  It simply means that they are absolutely
oblivious to the magnitude of the situation we are in and into which
the Muslim terrorists have been pushing us, for many years.
These people are a serious and dangerous liability to the war effort.
We must take note of who they are and get them out of office.
Remember, the Muslim terrorists stated goal is to kill all infidels!
That translates into ALL non-Muslims -- not just in theUnited States,
but throughout the world.  We are the last bastion of defense.

We have been criticized for many years as being 'arrogant.'  That
charge is valid in at least one respect.  We are arrogant in that we
believe that we are so good, powerful and smart, that we can win the
hearts and minds of all those who attack us, and that with both hands
tied behind our back, we can defeat anything bad in the world!  We
can't!

If we don't recognize this, our nation as we know it will not survive,
and no other free country in the world will survive if we are
defeated.

And finally, name any Muslim countries throughout the world that allow
freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of
the press, equal rights for anyone -- let alone everyone, equal status
or any status for women, or that have been productive in one single
way that contributes to the good of the world.

This has been a long way of saying that we must be united on this war
or we will be equated in the history books to the self-inflicted fall
of the Roman Empire.  If, that is, the Muslim leaders will allow
history books to be written or read.


If we don't win this war right now, keep a close eye on how the
Muslims take over France in the next 5 years or less.  They will
continue to increase the Muslim population of France and continue to
encroach little by little, on the established French traditions.  The
French will be fighting among  themselves, over what should or should
not be done, which will continue to weaken them and keep them from any
united resolve.
Doesn't that sound eerily familiar?

Democracies don't have their freedoms taken away from them by some
external military force.   Instead, they give their freedoms away,
politically correct piece by politically correct piece.

And they are giving those freedoms away to those who have shown,
worldwide that they abhor freedom and will not apply it to you or even
to themselves, once they are in power.

They have universally shown that when they have taken over, they then
start brutally killing each other over who will be the few who control
the masses.
What is happening in Iraq is a good example.  Will we ever stop
hearing from the politically correct, about the "peaceful Muslims"?

I close on a hopeful note, by repeating what I said above.  If we are
united, there is no way that we can lose.  I hope now, after the
election, the factions in our country will begin to focus on the
critical situation we are in, and will unite to save our country.  It
is your future we are talking about!  Do whatever you can to preserve
it.  I reiterate.  A national election is months away.

After reading the above, we all must do this not only for ourselves,
but our children, our grandchildren, our country and the world.
Whether Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal and that
includes the Politicians and media of our country and the free world!

Please forward this to any you feel may want, or NEED to read it.
Our "leaders" in Congress ought to read it, too.   There are those
that find fault with our country, but it is obvious to anyone who
truly thinks through this, that we must UNITE!

Lastly, I wish to add:   At the risk of offending someone, I
sincerely think that anyone who rejects this as just another political
rant, or doubts the seriousness of this issue or just deletes it
without sending it on, is part of the problem.  Lets quit laughing at
and forwarding the jokes and cartoons which denigrate and ridicule our
leaders in this war against terror.  They are trying to protect the
interests and well being of the US and it's citizens.  Best we support
them.
Thanks

Hello Kiddies...

Through my eternal search for redemption of the human species via the internet I came across something that just says it all.

Enjoy

M

Hello Kiddies..

Today’s topic is going to be about whining blogs and attention whores.

I have recently come across several blogs by Jane Q. Dildo* and John Q. Masturbator* that have been filled with the poor me syndrome.

They are always crying about something in their lives. I am not good enough. I can’t win the game. I don’t have enough friends. I am not pretty enough. No one likes me. I am just a fuckup and I’m going to ruin people’s lives if I get involved.

I am glad to see they realize that this is their existence. Now if they would just shut up about it on their blogs and either do something about it or kill themselves, we wouldn’t have to read about it anymore.

 Here we have a whole space designed for intelligent thought, a place to submit poetry, a place to submit stories, debate, laugh and learn. You can find it all here, if you search hard enough. Unfortunately, they outnumber us.  They are everywhere.

I had the thought that I might be getting paranoid, that they wouldn’t be everywhere. I was wrong. They are everywhere. These are yet more reasons why my misanthropic state is reinforced on a daily basis.

There should be warning signs posted. Whiner Blog  Ahead, please proceed with caution. Be prepared for unfettered myopic emotional expression to the nth degree. That way I would know to not read the drivel and just move on.

Then we have the people who seem to say they are going to commit suicide. Have you seen these blogs yet? Trust me, they are out there. I have found that they are mostly written by Jane Q. Dildo* (who if actually owned a dildo may not be in such a state.) but John Q. Masturbator* does make an appearance from time to time.

I have some advice for you people. Kill yourself. End it now. Don’t talk about it. Do it. I’m tired of reading about it. Show some self respect and actually get up and do something for yourself and for others.

Tobias  has a good list of reasons why you should do it. I was impressed.

These people that talk about it, never actually do it. Did you notice that? They stay around for years getting attention from every do-gooder on the internet. They aren’t ever the ones that actually commit suicide.

I wish that people who reply to their blogs would stop giving them encouragement. Instead, give them the local phone numbers to the hospitals to help with organ transplants after they are dead. Help them set up a living will (Just incase they do try it and fail. You know these people can’t just do it, they wouldn’t have the attention if they did). Give them the email addresses to the cancer society that will help them cut off all their hair so wigs can be made.

That would be helpful.

Keeping these people filled with attention, helping them feed their delusions is not helping.

So, do your part. Stop whining. Save a life. Commit suicide.

Hello Kiddies..

I was so excited today when I got my first official ‘you may find you have larger problems in your life’ response from crannberries08   I knew that these people were out there, yes, even on Mindsay. These are the ones that feel the need to explain themselves (and take up the cause for the other idiots in the world) and try to justify their reasons for doing things. To make all the rest of us understand that they are special and that it’s okay for them to be that way.

So, as a tribute to my first official ‘you may have larger problems in your life’ letter, I’m going to actually respond to her post, answer any questions and prove once again why there should be an intelligence test before anyone is allowed to purchase a computer.

So, let’s take her post bit by bit so I can be sure to respond to each thought that she has.

Cranberries08 wrote -  The use of short hand has been around for ages. I am not saying that it is proper or correct, but not everyone who uses abbreviations or alliterations for words is an idiot.

M - Yes, the use of shorthand has been around for a lot of years (since Egyptian times actually). TTYL.  U R UBER. I R L33T. ThAt Is 2 cOOl. Those examples are not shorthand. This link :: ( Shorthand ) has examples of shorthand and a history of shorthand. Nowhere on it, does it show TTYL, U R UBER or even any sort of L33T speak. Just so we are clear, yeah, they are idiots if they do it. You do it; you are an idiot, period.

C - I can say this as I have done reporting and I write on a frequent basis.

M – Well, bully for you.  

C - Your thought speed is much faster than your ability to type or write most things down.

M –  Yes, my thought process is much faster than my ability to type or write things down, but not everyone’s is. Some people sit and drool monkey spit while giggling at their computer screen and can’t spell their name correctly.   

C - There for sometimes short hand is necessary to be used so you do not lose your train of thought because you had to write the word diabolic 10 times in a paragraph.

M – I was going to comment on the redundancy of writing diabolic in a paragraph ten times, but it just seemed to easy to make fun of. Instead I’ll comment on the shorthand portion of her words. Shorthand is never necessary when you are posting to a blog. You have all the time in the world to sit and write out your thoughts. There is never a reason to rush quickly and post something. Good try, but no, that’s not an excuse.  

C - Obviously these are not the all the reasons for short hand. Some people are merely too lazy to write out an entire word.

M – Yes, we know these people are special. They don’t really need reasons, just excuses.

C - Then again you used several contractions in this post. I see little difference in you using contractions as a form of casual writing and someone abbreviating "talk to you later" with ttyl. While your maybe English approved, it is not appreciated for technical writing.

M – Since you see little difference, it must be so. I must have been talking L33t speak or using shorthand and not even realizing it.  I’m so glad to hear my English is approved even if it isn’t for technical writing. My life is now complete. Thank you for pointing that out. I feel much better. 

C - Also if it lowers your intelligence to read such writing, I think you may find you have larger problems in life than poor use of the English language in the world today.

M – I just lost another three points. LoL, HaGd, TtYl, BrB, AfK.   

Be a rebel. Spell correctly. Use full words. Start a new trend.

Hello Kiddies..

Today we are going to explore why people can’t type full words.

We all know them. U R 2 COOL. Yeah, those people. Do they realize how much it lowers not only their intelligence but my own to have to read that?  How can they type several paragraphs of that supposed language and expect anyone to think they have an IQ over that of a drooling monkey?

U, is not a word. It is a letter. It does not make you cool. It does not make you hip. It does not fit you into any crowd except maybe the Special Olympics. Don’t do it. Save yourself and everyone around you from trying to decipher your monkey drool.

There is a reason that this supposed language exists only on the internet. That reason is because in the rest of the world people would point and laugh at you if you used it.

Literacy is not an option for computer use.

If you don’t know how to spell something there are programs to help you (word and works for example), websites to help you (www.dictionary.com) and even, yes I am going to dare to say it, books that you can hold in your hand to give you assistance.

www.dictionary.com is your friend. Use it, use it often.

So I’ve come up with a plan to help stop this repeated slaughter of the English language. Shock collars. Put one of those on them and every time they have the urge to type ‘y’ instead of ‘why’ an electric shock would go through their body and make them incapable of touching their computer for thirty seconds. I’m betting that it’ll take about three times before they figure out that all letters are necessary to form words.

Third grade spelling teachers everywhere will rejoice.

Maybe I should patent this idea.

Hello Kiddies..

Today’s topic is horoscopes.

Did you know that on Mindsay there are 57 blogs that come up when you browse for Horoscope? 57 blogs for Horoscope, 2  Celtic Horoscope and 2 Freewill Horoscope. This makes a grand total of 61 blogs about Horoscopes. Did you know that none of them say the same thing for the same day? Do you think this should give people, who believe in what is told to them for their horoscope, a clue? I do, unfortunately, it doesn’t. Logic doesn’t seem to mix well with blind faith in the intangible.

I was not deterred. I am used to people spouting nonsense about intangible bullshit on a daily basis. But, I wanted to keep a semi-open mind. I didn’t want to miss out on this wonderful experience. So, I did some research into Horoscopes.

As usual, everyone has an opinion and they vary so widely that you can find something to fit your niche if you look long enough. There was a lot of crap that you had to go through. Metaphysical mumbo jumbo that you had to pay 29.95 (Paypal/check or money order/visa, MasterCard or American express accepted at our website with just a simple click!) to get translated into something that sounded remotely like a form letter, if their examples are anything to go by.

Needless to say I wasn’t impressed. With the amount of information that most of these companies wanted to predict my ‘future’, I am pretty sure an industrious soul could perform identity theft and predict their credit rating going to ‘the underworld’.  It just seemed so dishonest and flowery to me. As if they were being overly politically correct to cover as many people stupid enough to pay their fee’s and keep their workload down as much as possible.

A friend of mine informed me that I was simply looking in the wrong places to gather information and showed me a much more bluntly honest description of the signs of the zodiac. He has dubbed them the “Misanthropic views of the zodiac signs.”  Such a suck up, but it does have a certain flair doesn’t it?

So, to help out all those lost souls out there who want to know what ‘sign’ they are and perhaps are interested in learning more without having to pay a fee, I have taken it upon myself to share these words of wisdom from some unknown author.

If you want to send me 49.99 + tax + tip, your social security number, date of birth, birth location, birth time, your full name (including maiden name if you have one), your phone number, your pets name and sexual preference, I’d be happy to send you a photocopy of the information below.**

**Idiot, don’t send me a damn thing, it was a joke. I don’t want your information or your pets/children/families information. Just read the descriptions!

Hello Kiddies..

This post is going to be about 9 – 11 and the attack on the Pentagon. I’m not going to cover the WTC’s. I’ll do that in another post. Today we are just going to cover the Pentagon portion of the attack.

I’m warning all you people suffering from closed mindedness, to stop now. Close your browser window and go away.   

Well? Go Away. Press that little X on the top right of your browser window. Don’t think outside the box, it is scary out here and no one is going to tell you what to do. Be strong, leave while you can, enjoy the security and safety of ignorance. You can do it. You have the power.

Good, now that the idiots are gone, let’s have a discussion.

I got my greedy little hands on a video. (Don’t ask and I won’t tell) It was about 9 -11. Conspiracy theories, the president is evil and life sucks. Yes, they are out to get us. Alright, wackjobs of the world unite!  I was ready to turn it off then and there but decided that I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. So, I decided to watch the video and see what they had to say.

They are the most well informed nutjobs I have seen in a long time. They actually made sense, had documentation, photo’s, reports from Uncle Sam (Yes, they are public domain, you can get them yourself and check their facts) and video’s to back up their theories. Well, so do the idiots who believe the earth is still flat. (Yes, they are out there you can find their website and have a good laugh over it.) So what makes these whacko’s anymore interesting than your garden variety X-files wanna-be’s?

The tape brought up some interesting questions, questions I couldn’t answer and havne’t been able to find the answer to.

Since I want you to actually use that brain of yours I’ll let you look over the facts and decide for yourself. I’ve got my opinions but I’ll save them until after you’ve had a chance to make your own.

Facts:

1. The Pentagon is 73 feet high from the ground up.
2. The hole supposedly made by the plane was 65 feet across.
3. The plane (a boeing 757) is 124 feet wide from wingtip to wingtip.
4. The plane is 155 feet long.
5. The plane is 45 feet high to the top of the tail section.
6. The plane was a transcontinental flight and had most of it’s fuel still onboard. Approximately 8600 gallons.
7. One camera from the Pentagon shows the explosion. Five frames were released to the public from that camera.
8. No other known footage exists of the actual impact of the plane into the Pentagon.
9. Engine number 331 of the Metropolitian Airport Authority was the first on the scene.
10. No airplane debris was ever recorded in any pictures/video’s released.

Unsubstantiated Facts:

1. The plane supposedly hit only the first floor of the Pentagon.
2. The plane supposedly only damaged the first outer ring (out of five) that make up the Pentagon.
3. There is a gas station across the street from the Pentagon that did have working video camera’s. Federal officials supposedly ‘confiscated’ all tapes from all camera’s from this proprietors property.
4. There is evidence that a smaller hole existed before the roof collapsed that was only 14 to 16 feet wide.
5. Firefighters who agreed to be interviewed called an hour before they were to arrive and declined to come. One of the two men was placed on indefinite leave with no cause given.

Okay, so here are some other fun observations from the photographs and video’s that were released to the public or seen on television.

-         This one really gets me. Anyone ever seen any airplane debris? Anyone remember seeing any airplane debris? I sure as hell don’t. Not a seat cushion, not a chair, not the fuselage and definitely not anything as big as a wing on the ground outside the Pentagon. Not even some persons tacky luggage and that is something I would notice. I hate tacky luggage.

-         What happened to all that jet fuel? I’ve studied the pictures, watched the video and this is what I saw on closer examination. On the third floor of the Pentagon where the plane had supposedly hit, there was a filing cabinent with an untouched computer monitor sitting on top of it. The damn screen wasn’t even cracked, no heat damage. Nothing. On the second floor in the same picture there is a wooden desk. You guessed it. Not a single burn mark anywhere. The first floor shows a wooden stool holding a book with the pages open and damn if there wasn’t a single singe mark on those glaringly white pages. This is where the plane was supposed to have impacted. First floor, right next to the book and I want you all to keep in mind that this is supposed to be the same type of fire that was enough to degrade the structural integrity of the World Trade Centers and help cause their collapse, but didn’t harm a book with it’s cover open sitting out on a wooden stool. Apparently, it’s a magic book.

-         With how fast this plane was going, shouldn’t it have punched through the first ring of the Pentagon and into the second? We are talking pretty damn fast here people. 250 mph on landing and tons of weight and a hell of a momentum behind it. The first satellite photographs after the ‘attack’ showed that the roof hadn’t even collapsed.

-         How the hell does a plane that big fit into that hole?

-         What the hell happened to all the other camera’s at the Pentagon? Only one was working that day? This is the Pentagon we are talking about, where you need a retina scan to take a pee but no camera’s caught the impact of the plane into the building?

-         Bodies recovered from the crash site were able to be identified by DNA and fingerprints. Think about that. DNA and fingerprints. 8600 gallons of jet fuel that supposedly vaporized aluminum and steel, but left human remains behind able to be identified by DNA and fingerprints. (Dr. David Ray Griffin pointed out that fact. Smart guy.)

-         There are pictures from when the first engine (number 331) arrived at the Pentagon. It shows them spraying fire retardant foam onto the building. Exposing the hole (that would be the 14- 16 foot hole) in the building. It shows (again) no plane debris and no people injured or harmed, it also shows the roof intact. So.. where the hell is the plane?

 Yeah, where the hell is the plane? Where is the debris? Where is the camera footage from the Pentagon?

What it comes down to is, do you trust the official story? Do you believe what you are shown?

You know, maybe these nutjobs have a point after all.

I don’t trust the government. I know they are out to get me. I just didn’t realize they were out to get all of you as well.
