[Sosfbay-discuss] My Fantastic 9/11 Truth Week

[Brian Good]

    Since some of the turds in the 9/11 Truth Koolaid are charming, skilled 
dissemblers, venomous, shameless liars, with powerful friends in the 
movement, and they tell tales truthers would very much like to believe, the 
work of fishing them out is sometimes bruising.   I am therefore happy to 
report two recent successes.

   William Rodriguez, the hero janitor who sued George Bush for planting 
bombs in the World Trade Center, had a great story.  Unfortunately it was 
implausible, uncorroborated, and suspiciously lacking in specifics.  Though 
Willie claimed he had single-handedly rescued 15 people, he never said 
where, when, or how he did it.  Not even in two hours on C-Span.  Just 
who he rescued was a secret.  When pressed for details he became 
belligerent, and he threatened to cancel his 2007 Grand Lake Theater 
appearance rather than answer my questions.  

  Willie told truthers all over the world he "saved hundreds" who were 
huddled behind locked fire exits waiting for Willie's "Key of Hope" to set 
them free.  Never mind that locked fire doors would have brought lawsuits 
and complaints to the media, and the man with the key would have been 
hailed by thousands.  That not one credible person will come forward to 
thank him for unlocking doors shows him for a liar, but truthers dazzled 
by Willie's smile and undeterred by lack of evidence pitched Willie's story 
all over the world to the press and to firefighters, careless of their own 
credibility.

  Lately I found statistical proof.  The National Institute of Standards (NIST)
report tells us that 99% of the 15,000 civilians on the 179 floors beneath 
the impact zones survived.  About 150 died, trapped in elevators or slow to
get down the stairs.  Willie unlocked doors on 39 floors.   If the people were 
locked in, 11,700 people would have died on the 140 floors Willie couldn't 
reach.  The man is a liar and he took $1400 in cash from the Grand Lake 
Theater audience under false pretenses.  He should return it.

   Citizen Investigation Team (CIT) claims the flight 77 airliner flew over, 
instead of into, the Pentagon.  The pointlessness of a flyover concerns its 
proponents not a whit.  Masters of the false dichotomy CIT seems persuasive 
the first 
time through the DVD, and truth movement leaders who should know 
better (including Dr. Peter Dale Scott) have endorsed their work.  As with 
Willie, it's only on the second viewing of the DVD that the story unravels, and 
again lack of supporting evidence cuts no ice with the true believers.  Also like 
Willie, these clowns are charming, articulate, and slick -- and when questioned 
they turn petulant and flee.  

  CIT has one eyewitness to its claimed flyover: a Pentagon police officer 
who reports an airliner flying over the south side parking lot.  The flight path 
he describes is impossible, but that and the fact that any such aircraft would 
have been seen by hundreds on eight-lane Interstate 395 as it flew over 
at 100 feet perturb CIT's supporters not at all.  But this will:  Reviewing CIT's
bogus claims about another of their witnesses, I realized he was standing on 
a hill over the south parking lot.  He didn't see the plane fly over.   Here's a 
picture from close to where he stood (the Pentagon is in the distance, the 
south wall visible toward the right, and any flyover plane would have flown 
from the smoke at the left to the right:

The testimony of the witness (and CIT's lies about that testimony) can be 
seen here:  http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread350000/pg1


Fortunately Carol had the good sense not to step in that one.  So that's how the 
truther wars go:  Tiny triumphs after months or years of tedious tilting at viciously
lying lunatics.
