TODAY IS ANNIVERSARY OF MUSLIM ATTACK ON USA
TODAY IS ANNIVERSARY OF MUSLIM ATTACK ON USA
Hi Everyone
Today, 9/11/2013, is the anniversary of the attack on America by Muslims. They, of course, try and deny this fact, but my digital book that follows clearly shows that they did it. Read it and learn REALITY:
Conspiracy Digital Book 'Nut Case" Islamic Conspiracy Weavers Are A Bane To Truth and Reality:
Chapter # 1 - 'Nut Case" Islamic Conspiracy Weavers Are A Bane To Truth and Reality:
INTRODUCTION:
Unfortunately we have a bunch of 'Nut Case' members of Islam weaving all kinds of far out conspiracy theories to try and cover up actions by the cohorts of Muslim religious leader, Sheik Osama bin Ladin. I quite frankly am getting very tired of this nonsense. Here is the actual deceptive comments of one of these 'Nut Cases':
Hello Again,
Picture of what happening? Pentagon being hit by the plane? (smiling) If you have the video that mean you are the terrorist (smiling) Till today there is no video of an aircraft hitting the pentagon mr genius. (smiling) Read my comments again. I have not talked about the planes that hit WTC yet. I am just beginning the engineering/technical detail on the pentagon 'attack'. Read again mr genius.
So many mistakes you made and so many denials:
1. Soon after the attack FBI came up with living people instead of dead people. This is a very fundamental lies on the FBI part and still you never address this lies although its in your face (smiling)
2. Contradictions in your statement FBI identified the hijackers and later you said DNA study need months if not years.
But as usual you never want to admint your make mistakes. But then again who needs you to admit? (smiling)
Regard ing the WTC and the gold, don't worry the analysis is coming up. I have yet to finish the pentagon side (smiling). Notice that the analysis is so detail. Its not like my friends say this my friends say that bla bla bla. Its all with analysis mr professor (smiling)
To readers, soon I will come up with the analysis on the pentagon side regarding the following:
1. Impossible flight path and maneuver precission
2. Dimension of 757 plane
3. Size of hole on pentagon wall
4. The alleged hijacker pilot that hit pentagon failed flight test on single engine aircraft TWICE one month before the incident
5. The unscratched front lawn of the pentagon building.
6. The consistencies of tomahawk missile strike
7. 5 Pop out of no where lamp posts in front of pentagon
8. Many more...
So readers, its going to get fun. As you can see mr professor, I don't make conspiracy theories and certainly i don't take confession tapes (giggle). I think deep. (smiling) And I say, the WTC part including the gold story, will come after pentagon analysis. You see professor, I don't talk with empty points. (smiling)
Those who wants to see osama's confession tape can do so at the site that the author gave. For detail analysis, you can choose to follow my future post. And mr professor, I don't really care if you want to avoid the 9/11 detail analysis. Its not for the shallows anyway. (giggle)
Stay tuned...." [source - on 10/04/2008 in a comment made on an article "How to make Spanish Tomato Casserole" ]
Many in Islam are irrationally insane as proven by the activities of just one on Scribd, and educational resource out on the World Wide Web. In this article, I will clearly show how irrationally insane some members of Islam are, and how they can NOT distinguish between reality and silly conspiracy theories.
But this is to be expected considering their irrationally insanity over silly innocuous cartoons when it deals with them, but feel it is absolutely okay to make very nasty cartoons about the Jews and others, i.e., the Muslim concept, we should be able to throw stones at others (cartoons), but they should not throw stones at us (cartoons). This of course is irrationally insane behavior and thinking.
And the silly conspiracy theories such this 'Nut Case' above. Notice, just like the typical idiot in cartoons he adds a (giggle). Now we shall look at reality.
Evidence That A Boeing 757 Really Did Impact the Pentagon on 9/11
The 757-200
As we can see from the freely available information for the Boeing 757 (from the Boeing website). The 757 is a midsized commercial airliner designed for short haul and medium haul routes (Medium Range Transport (MR-TR)), although since its release, and the subsequent discovery of the Wake Vortex it leaves behind the FAA has classified the 757 as a "Heavy" aircraft; the FAA places the 757 in the Geometric Design Classification IV, and an ATC Operation Class C. (source)
The 757-200 dimensions:
Tail Height: 44 ft 6 in (13.6m)
Length: 155 ft 3 in (47.32m)
Wingspan: 124 ft 10 in (38.05m)
Body Exterior Width: 12 ft 4 in (3.7m)
Fuel Capacity: 11,489 us gal (43,490l / 43,490kg)
Maximum Takeoff weight: 255,000lb (115,680kg)
Typical Cruise Speed: 0.80 Mach (573.6mph / 956kmh)
Engines used on a 757: Two 166.4kN (37,400lb) Rolls-Royce RB211-535C turbofans, or 178.8kN (40,200lb) RB211-535E4s, or 193.5kN (43,500lb) RB211-535E4-Bs, or 162.8kN (36,600lb) Pratt & Whitney PW2037s, or two 178.4kN (40,100lb) PW2040s, or 189.5kN (42,600lb) PW2043s.

The Pentagon
The Pentagon was designed in the early 40's and was completed in only 16 months on Jan 14, 1943. The shortages of materials required for war production raised many design and construction problems. The use of reinforced concrete in lieu of formed steel for the building made possible a saving of 43,000 tons of steel, more than enough to build a battleship. The use of concrete ramps rather than elevators further reduced steel requirements. Drainage pipes were concrete; ducts were fiber, interior doors were wood. An unusual wall design - concrete spandrels carried to window sill level - eliminated many miles of through-wall copper flashing.(Source1) (Source2)
...The exterior walls had been reinforced with steel beams and columns, bolted where they met at each floor. Some of these reinforced walls very near the point of impact remained in place for a half hour before collapsing, allowing uncounted hundreds to escape. "Had we not undertaken this effort," said Evey at a press briefing on September 15, "this could have been much, much worse."
...Looking At the Big Picture
From facts contained above, we can all agree that:
The length of the outside wall on any side of the pentagon is 921 feet.
The wingspan of a 757 is 124 feet 10 inches.
Now, everyone can agree that 921/125= roughly 7.4 right?
Given the size of the 757, and the size of the Pentagon, the damaged area fits in peftectly with the dimensions of both the aircraft and the building...
Here is the hole in the building - it's been reported by at least a dozen different sources (including conspiracy theory sites) to be a 16 to 20 foot hole. That is really interesting when you take into account the fact that the 757 body is 12 ft 4in wide and 13 ft 6in high. (Here is where I was mistaken in the past, like so very many others I was led astray by the HEIGHT of the aircraft, which is actually the measurement from the wheels-down to the tip of the tail. That measurement is for aircraft hangar clearance, not the SIZE of the aircraft.) The 757 is basically a cylinder that is 13 feet across. It then should not be surprising that it would create something around a thirteen foot hole in the side of the building...
Rim found at scene was double bead design as required by the NTSB. Other remains of the plane were also found, such as a large chunk of the bulkhead, a tire of type used on this type of plane, Aux Power Unit, the 'Black Box', etc.
...In layman's terms the crash dynamics worked like so: A large hollow tube, with a belly full of luggage, a passenger bay with 60 people, and wings full of fuel smashed into the side of an almost solid object while moving at a tremendous speed (somewhere around 350-400mph). When the 225,000lb+ plane hit, it smashed apart with such force from the crash that it became like one massive column of liquid (no, the plane didn't melt or turn into liquid, it just acted like one physically - mountainslides act the same way, a million tons of rock acts like a large field of liquid during a landslide even if no water is present). All the small parts, luggage, people, seats, and all the tens of thousands of pounds of fuel acting like a massive river came crashing into the wall of the Pentagon. This force burst through the outside wall and flowed through the inside to the next wall, and momentum carried this mass until it finally ran out of inertia at the 3rd ring.
"Aydan Kizildrgli, an English language student who is a native of Turkey, saw the jetliner bank slightly then strike a western wall of the huge five-sided building that is the headquarters of the nation's military. 'There was a big boom,' he said. 'Everybody was in shock. I turned around to the car behind me and yelled "Did you see that?" Nobody could believe it.'"

Walking north beside Route 27, he suddenly saw a commercial airliner crest the hilltop Navy Annex. American Airlines Flight 77 reached him so fast and flew so low that Probst dropped to the ground, fearing he'd lose his head to its right engine."

"We were the only people, we think, who saw it live," Dan Creed said. He and two colleagues from Oracle software were stopped in a car near the Naval Annex, next to the Pentagon, when they saw the plane dive down and level off. "It was no more than 30 feet off the ground, and it was screaming. It was just screaming. It was nothing more than a guided missile at that point," Creed said. "I can still see the plane. I can still see it right now. It's just the most frightening thing in the world, going full speed, going full throttle, its wheels up," - Ahwatukee Foothill News
There are many more eyewitness accounts, but this is more than ample to blow away all the dumb conspiracy theories that 'nut cases' come up with. Why do they come up with them? For many reasons such as a wild imagination, not willing to accept reality - the facts, some are just clear out 'nut cases,' some want a little publicity, etc.

CONCLUSION:
A Boeing 757 being piloted by suicidal cohorts of a Muslim religious leader, Sheik Osama bin Ladin, and under his direction, struck the Pentagon.
Chapter 2 - Sequel to 'Nut Case" Islamic Conspiracy Weavers Are A Bane To Truth and Reality
INTRODUCTION:
Unfortunately we have a bunch of 'Nut Case' members of Islam weaving all kinds of far out conspiracy theories to try and cover up actions by the cohorts of Muslim religious leader, Sheik Osama bin Ladin. I quite frankly am getting very tired of this nonsense. Here is the actual deceptive comments of one of these 'Nut Cases':
One member of Islam actually said the following outright lie and absurd conspiracy theory,
No commercial aircraft buried itself in Pennsylvania terra firma. The utter public silence from observing the many clips of high energy materials being ejected from the other side of WTC #2, from most probably a projectile with DU-hardening nose characteristics is deafening. Further, the two WTC Towers were explosive demolitions, without any doubts. WTC #7 crumbled under a classic demolition.
Now of course we all well know both of these conspiracy claims are just outright lies, but let me deal with the Pennsylvania false claim (lie) first.
Reality #1: I used to live in Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania only about 30 minutes from where the crash site of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania, was in Somerset County and many of my neighbors went there and saw first hand the wreckage and the motor and fuselage, yet this Muslim nut case is seeking to deny this reality as he is trying to cover-up for Muslim wrong doings.
Reality #2: We have all seen pictures of the two different planes that hit the twin towers of the World Trade Center (WTC). In fact, I watched live coverage as it happened of the second plane actually hitting. As to a high energy materials being ejected from the other side of WTC #2 from a projectile with DU-hardening nose characteristics claim by this nut case member of Islam, this is of course just is absurd imagination from watching too many movies. He is no longer able to distinguish between movie fantasies and reality. In fact, he even used movie actors and movies as backup evidence for what he said; how utterly absurd. Here is what this Muslim nut case actually said,
"Mic hael Moore Academy Award and Cannes Palme d'Or Award-winning producer, director, writer and author. His film and television projects includes; Sicko (2007), Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), Bowling for Columbine (2002), The Awful Truth (4 TV episodes, 1999), And Justice for All (1998), TV Nation (1997), The Big One (1997), Canadian Bacon (1995), Pets or Meat: The Return to Flint (1992), Roger & Me (1989). Author of Dude, Where's My Country? (2004), Stupid White Men (2004), Will They Ever Trust Us Again? (2005).
Article 6/19/07: "I've had a number of firefighters tell me over the years and since Fahrenheit 9/11 that they heard these explosions -- that they believe there's MUCH more to the story than we've been told. I don't think the official investigations have told us the complete truth -- they haven't even told us half the truth. ...
As can easily be seen, he knows his films, the make believe of Hollywood and Bollywood, but does not know or understand reality. Of course anyone who could believe in and worship a false god such as the mythical old middle eastern celestial mood god, "Allah," can imagine all sorts of imaginary things!
Of course I have answered him on the, The fact that he can NOT deal with reality but likes to spin lies and conspiracy theories (also lies) is clearly shown by his references to movies instead of reality and by the nonsense things he says. His statement with regard to firefighters hearing explosions clearly shows he is either ignorant of basic physics or does NOT WANT to accept basic physics. He said,
"I've had a number of firefighters tell me over the years and since Fahrenheit 9/11 that they heard these explosions
Yes, I am sure they heard some since when liquids get very hot, past their boiling point and expand in any closed container such as hot water heaters, transformers, and pipes in the infrastructure of any large building they tend to rupture their containment with explosive force.
To show his desperation with respect spinning conspiracy theories to cover up wrong doing, very evil and wicked acts, at the directions of a Muslim religious leader, Sheik Osama bin Ladin. He later claimed the firefighters heard these explosions before the planes hit the WTC, but he overlooked the fact that until the planes hit, there were no firefighters even there.
Then he tried to claim, not once, but twice that the buildings, WTC, were brought down by commercial demolition. This implication that the World Trade Center (WTC) was brought down by a controlled demolition and not by being hit by fuel loaded planes, in the words of a conspiracy monger who worships a false god.
" It was not struck by an aircraft as the Twin Towers were and video of the collapse appears to resemble those of buildings brought down by a controlled demolition."
Now of course it takes months of very careful preparation to do a controlled demolition of a tall building in which many holes are made at exact points and detonation wire and prima cord are carefully placed throughout the building. In fact, the building being primed for controlled demolition takes on the looks of a giant piece of Swiss cheese with detonation wire and prima cord everywhere so there would have been no possibility of this in the case of the WTC.
In addition, there were many continuous photographs of the two different planes actually hitting the two buildings which this dumb conspiracy theory overlooks. Clearly conspiracy weavers of this type are just trying to cover-up for the wrong doing of some of their religious leaders.
He then claimed to try and back up his false conspiracy theory, an outright lie, that,
Heather Thomas: I'm going to go this far: There was no fuselage at the Pentagon. There was none that you could check out. They said it vaporized, and yet they produced bodies saying that they didn't vaporize. You can vaporize a two-ton engine? I don't think so. And a lot people say they closed the Twin Towers for weekends on end (directly before 9/11) and wouldn't even let the security people in there (because they were setting it up for demolition.) You can listen to this stuff, the knowledge is out there. You can see the pictures of the Pentagon (destruction). It's a solid hole. No airplane does damage like that. It was a b...
Now, His absurd claim that no plane ever hit the Pentagon and that the FBI lied when it got two or three names mixed up due to unfamiliarity with strange foreign names,
The FBI lied about the hijackers names, FBI lied about the calls. So why should we believe anything the at FBI said on 9/11? We are going to expose more lies. And Iris is happy that FBI lies as long as FBI said its done by Muslims (giggle). We will show later even there were no planes hitting pentagon and crash in Pennsylvania. Lets turn our attention to WTC 7:
First, as we all well know, that there are many suspects in any major case and that sometimes the FBI makes mistakes at first with respect names and in a case with strange similarly sounding foreign, none English names, it would be expected that the FBI would at first make some errors and they did. Now with respect calls from airplanes from cell phones or the airplanes radio, in many cases these were recorded and I personally have listened to some of them so this conspiracy weaver is just telling just one more bold faced lie. With respect a plane hitting the Pentagon, lets look at the evidence, the reality,
Second, with respect the Pentagon,
...The exterior walls had been reinforced with steel beams and columns, bolted where they met at each floor. Some of these reinforced walls very near the point of impact remained in place for a half hour before collapsing, allowing uncounted hundreds to escape. "Had we not undertaken this effort," said Evey at a press briefing on September 15, "this could have been much, much worse."

Also, there was no restriction of security personnel or anyone else who worked in the Twin Towers for weekends on end before the wicked evil cohorts of Muslim religious leader Sheik Osama bin Laden committed their evil act.
Now to even insinuate that all these workers in the WTC and other buildings would not have noticed if there were holes punched everywhere and wires and prima cord up and down stairwells and in offices for months on end is being absolutely absurd to the point of being insane. Now the only question is when will this nut case stop lying and come down to reality and/or be committed to a mental institution.
Then he tells some obviously whopper lies as follows,

Jump to: navigation, search
The September 11 attacks were carried out by 19 hijackers, with planning and organization of the attacks involving numerous additional members of al-Qaeda. The first hijackers to arrive in the United States were Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, who settled in the San Diego area in January 2000. They were followed by Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah, who all arrived early in the summer of 2000, in order to undertake flight training in south Florida. The fourth pilot, Hani Hanjour, arrived in San Diego in December 2000. The other muscle hijackers, who were trained to help overpower and take over the aircraft, all arrived in the spring and early summer of 2001.

Background
The idea for the September 11 attacks plot originated with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who had been active in the Philippines in the mid-1990s, and was an uncle of Ramzi Yousef, who was involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Mohammed first presented the idea September 11 attacks idea to Osama bin Laden in 1996, shortly after Bin Laden relocated from the Sudan back to Afghanistan. Bin Laden was not yet interested in the idea, but in Spring 1999, he called Khalid Sheikh Mohammed back and agreed to support the plot.
Initial selection
Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi were both experienced and respected jihadists in the eyes of al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden. Mihdhar and Hazmi both had previous experience fighting on Bosnia, and had trained during the 1990s at camps in Afghanistan.[1] When Bin Laden committed to the September 11 attacks plot idea, he assigned both Mihdhar and Hazmi to the plot.[2] Both were so eager to participate in operations within the United States, that they obtained visas in April 1999.[3] Once selected, Mihdhar and Hazmi were sent to the Mes Aynak training camp in Afghanistan. In late 1999, Hazmi, Attash and Yemeni went to Karachi, Pakistan to see Mohammed, who instructed them on Western culture and travel; however, Mihdhar did not go to Karachi, instead returning to Yemen.[2]
The attacks
American Airlines Flight 11
Main article: American Airlines Flight 11
Two flight attendants called the American Airlines reservation desk during the hijacking. Betty Ong reported that "the four hijackers had come from first-class seats: 2A, 2B, 9A, and 9B."[4] Flight attendant Amy Sweeney called a flight services manager at Logan Airport and described them as Middle Eastern.[4] She gave the staff the seat numbers and they pulled up the ticket and credit card info of the hijackers, identifying Mohamed Atta al-Sayed.[5]
Mohamed Atta was heard speaking over the air traffic control system, broadcasting messages he intended for the passengers.[6]
We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you'll be okay. We are returning to the airport, nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet.
Nobody move please. We are going back to the airport, don't try to make any stupid moves.

Two hijackers, Hani Hanjour and Majed Moqed were identified by clerks as having bought single, first-class tickets for Flight 77 from Advance Travel Service in Totowa, NJ with $1,842.25 in cash.[4] Renee May, a flight attendant on Flight 77, used a cell phone to call her mother in Las Vegas. She said her flight was being hijacked by six individuals who had moved them to the rear of the plane.[8] Passenger Barbara Olson called her husband, Ted Olson, the solicitor general of the United States, stating the flight had been hijacked and the hijackers had knives and box cutters.[9] Two of the passengers had been on the FBI's terrorist-alert list: Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi.
Forensic remains of the five hijackers were found at the Pentagon, along with remains of the victims.[10]

Hijacker Ziad Jarrah also mistakenly broadcast messages intended for passengers over the air traffic control system:
Keep remaining sitting. We have a bomb on board.
[...]
Uh, this is the captain. Would like you all to remain seated. There is a bomb aboard and are going back to the airport, and to have our demands [unintelligible]. Please remain quiet.[13]
Jarrah is also heard on the thingypit voice recorder.[14]
[edit] Suspected hijackers
Minutes after the occurrence of the September 11, militant attacks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened the largest FBI investigation in United States history, operation PENTTBOM. The suspects were identified within 72 hours because few made any attempt to disguise their names on flight and credit card records and they were among the few non-U.S. citizens and nearly the only passengers with Arabic names on their flights, enabling the FBI to identify their jihads and in many cases such details as dates of birth, known, and/or possible residences, visa status, and specific identification of the suspected pilots within hours.[15] On September 27, 2001 the FBI released photos of the 19 hijackers, along with information about many of their possible nationalities and aliases.[16] All the suspected hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon or Egypt.
The passport of Satam al Suqami was recovered near the World Trade Center site, reportedly a few blocks from where the World Trade Center's twin towers once stood. [17][18]; a passerby picked it up and gave it to a NYPD detective shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed. The passports of two other suspected hijackers, Ziad Jarrah and Saeed al Ghamdi, were recovered from the crash site of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania, and a fourth passport, that of Abdul Aziz al Omari was recovered from luggage that did not make it onto American Airlines Flight 11[19].
United Airlines Flight 175: Marwan al-Shehhi (from the United Arab Emirates), Fayez Banihammad (from the United Arab Emirates), Mohand al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian), Hamza al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian), Ahmed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian). They were the only people with Arabic names on the flight.
American Airlines Flight 11: Mohamed Atta al Sayed (Egyptian), Waleed al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian), Wail al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian), Abdulaziz al-Omari (Saudi Arabian), Satam al-Suqami (Saudi Arabian). There was only one other passenger with an Arabic name who was ruled out as having any role.
United Airlines Flight 93: Ziad Jarrah (Lebanese), Ahmed al-Haznawi (Saudi Arabian), Ahmed al-Nami (Saudi Arabian), Saeed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian). They were the only people with Arabic names on the flight.
American Airlines Flight 77: Hani Hanjour (Saudi Arabian), Khalid al-Mihdhar (Saudi Arabian), Majed Moqed (Saudi Arabian), Nawaf al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian), Salem al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian). There was one other passenger with an Arabic name who was ruled out as having any role.
According to the 9/11 Commission Report, 26 al-Qaeda terrorist conspirators sought to enter the United States to carry out a suicide mission. In the end, the FBI reported that there were 19 hijackers in all: five on three of the flights, and four on the fourth. On September 14th, three days after the attacks, the FBI announced the names of 19 persons.[15]
[edit] The Hamburg cell and other conspirators
According to the 9/11 Commission Report, the terrorist attack itself was planned by Khalid Sheik Mohammed and approved by Osama bin Laden, with Mohammed personally choosing the hijackers, and bin Laden approving of the decision[citation needed]. Sheik Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah became the organizers of the plot. Investigators say that Mohammed Haydar Zammar acted as the "travel agent" to Afghanistan.
Three of the hijackers, along with Ramzi Binalshibh, Said Bahaji, and Zakariyah Essabar were members of the Hamburg cell. After Atta, al-Shehhi, and Jarrah left for the United States, Binalshibh provided money to the conspirators. Riduan Isamuddin, aka Hambali, met with two of the hijackers in Kuala Lumpur during the 2000 Kuala Lumpur al-Qaeda Summit. Hambali also gave money to alleged 20th hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui. The members of the cell fled Germany before the terrorist attacks.
Some of the money that financed the terrorist attack seems to have originated from Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Mohammed Yousef Mohamed Alqusaidi, who may be Marwan al-Shehhi's brother. Another conspirator is Abu Abdul Rahman. Tawfiq bin Attash, also known as Khallad, assisted the hijackers in many ways, and unsuccessfully sought a visa to enter the United States and participate in the attacks.
Interviews with detained al Qaida members have identified ten hijacker candidates who did not participate in the attacks for various reasons. These people were identified as Mohamed Mani Ahmad al Kahtani, Khalid Saeed Ahmad al Zahrani, Ali Abd al Rahman al Faqasi al Ghamdi, Saeed al Baluchi, Qutaybah al Najdi, Zuhair al Thubaiti, Saeed Abdullah al-Ghamdi, Saud al Rashid, and Mushabib al Hamlan, and Abderraouf Jdey.[20]
Cases of mistaken identities
Shortly after the attacks and before the FBI had released the pictures of all the hijackers, several reports appeared claiming that some of the men named as hijackers on 9/11 were alive, and were feared to have been victims of identity theft.[21][22][23] These cases, however, turned out to be instances of mistaken identities.[24][25]
