"Two world wars, shame on them.
A third world war, shame on us."
THIS PENTAGON SECURITY CAM VIDEO SEQUENCE
IS "SMOKING-GUN" EVIDENCE, ESTABLISHING THE
SEPTEMBER 11 MASS-MURDER AS AN "INSIDE-JOB,"
A FRAMEUP CONSPIRACY PLANNED TO INVOLVE THE
U.S. IN A WAR FOR CONTROL OF OIL AND FOR THE
CONTINUATION OF NORTHERN ALLIANCE OPIUM
SHIPMENTS TO CHINA TO BOOST WORLD HEROIN
PRODUCTION AND INCREASE DRUG REVENUES THAT ARE
LAUNDERED INTO THE BIG NEW YORK INVESTMENT
BANKS.

stills

(Observe:
1) the size of tail fin image in frame #1 requires
that for the plane to be a Boeing 757, the front
end of its fuselage would have to be visible extending
out to the left of the stone driveway pillar in
the picture.
check: a) the 757 is over seven times the
length of its own tail fin, i.e., it would take
seven and a quarter tail fins to cover the back
of a Boeing 757, Stegasaurus style, from the tailfin
in the rear to the nose, but the width of the
image of the driveway pillar that conceals the
attacking plane's entire fuselage is only five
times as wide as the tail fin that appears sticking
up above and behind the pillar (so that regardless
of angle of approach to the Pentagon wall or of
distance of the aircraft from the camera, the plane
simply cannot be aircraft of the length and form
of a Boeing 757;
b) a 757 is 155 feet long and the Pentagon
is only 71 feet high, but by direct inspection,
if you stood the aircraft behind the pillar on
end against the wall, say half way to the far end
of the wall from the impact point, it would reach
no more than 70 percent of the wall's height, the
method is rough, but the margin of error in your
estimate can be nowhere near the 218 percent
difference that would be needed to turn that
attack jet into Flight 77.
2) the presence of the unmistakable white horizonal
missile plume being launched by the plane to weaken
the wall in the vicinity of impact so that the jet
can easily invade the Pentagon interior without give-away
aircraft parts bouncing back on the grass and giving away
the frameup;
3) in frame #2 the tell-tale white-hot intitial explosion
of the missile warhead is definitely neither a jet fuel
kerosene fire, nor the result of aluminum, plastic
and flesh crashing into brick, concrete and glass;
4) the blossom of white-hot explosion of the missile
warhead spreads laterally, more so than the subsequent
jet fuel flames that in frame #3 come from inside the
Pentagon, suggesting that the warhead was designed to
trigger at the split second of impact rather than after
entry through the wall.
All existing coverup scenarios seeking to explain
away this smoking-gun evidence have just been
answered.
