Interested in what you think actually struck the Pentagon?

Serious question.
I doubt they will be back, just like CarCrazyDad who said I had my head in the sand about ‘The Great Reset’ and then disappeared when I asked him to explain and educate me.

There’s a theme here, once you get into the detail.

Even Popular Mechanics debunks the Pentagon nonsense…

https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a5659/de...

….along with dozens of other sites aimed at re educating Americans of the demographic who believe The Walking Dead is a documentary.

I'm disappointed OddCat appears to have already flounced, I'm fascinated by the psychology of this kind of thing and curious to try to understand what's going on in their minds. But they seem to scarper as soon as they are presented with some facts, so we don't get much further with trying to ascertain what's going on with them.

There were a few interesting insights... the repeating of the line "I really wish that I thought the world was a fair and honest place..." which suggests to me that believing in the outlandish deep-state style conspiracy is more important that any facts.

It is a revealing phrase. Because, of course, we all know that the world isn't a fair and honest place.

Which most of us can readily accept without believing that 9/11 was staged and that the Chinese released Covid onto the world because, um, reasons.

Oddcat though was only questioning the Pentagon aircraft. He presumably accepts that the twin towers were hit by 757s, so why on earth the difficulty in believing a further plane (which disappeared, along with all onboard) hit the Pentagon? It's so bizarre as to be impossible to understand the thought process. That's why I am disappointed he's already flounced.


I suspect CT folks are so wedded to their beliefs that they simply can't deal with having them challenged. The question is, why?

a massive airliner really did manage to crash horizontally into the Pentagon - but, miraculously, made only one hole where the fragile nose made contact with the wall but not two massive holes where the engines hit the wall.




Just a small amount of sensible neutral research will quickly debunk that particular conspiracy theory.


As a starting point, excellent article below by 767 pilot and writer Patrick Smith:


https://www.salon.com/2006/05/19/askthepilot186/


Let us know your thoughts.



I'm not persuaded by this at all.

I am, though, interested in him saying this:

"OK, I'm genuinely curious about why the surveillance tapes from the Sheraton Hotel near the Pentagon were confiscated, and why their contents were never made public"

And one shonky bit of footage showing an 'object' but that's about it. I'd need a clear piece of footage of at least the plane approaching the Pentagon.

What amazes me is that people aren't even open to the possibility of foul play. Like I said, I wish I believed that the world was lovely.

Anyway, this is clearly a "bash anyone who doesn't buy the official narrative" thread (I should have known from the title) so it's not for me.

I'll let the self congratulating gullible have their thread back now !


Paper thin aluminum vs reinforced walls is why you don't get a airplane shaped hole.

You need to understand the cctv cameras would have been installed by a friend of the state governors for the most absurd amount of money at the lowest possible quality. That there was even one frame from a potatoe quality camera is frankly staggering.

OddCat has flounced, so I suspect any more facts will never be heard.

It’s all very odd, this getting news from some fringe source and believing it above anything else. As has been said how wouod the US engineer it at exactly the same time as the WTC and why?? That alone would put me off or at least make me think twice about looking at fringe news.

More facts?

I didn't see OddCat present any facts.

I am saying OddCat will not get to hear/read any more facts.

I mean the stonemason (maybe the Freemasons are involved too?!?) must have been a bit pissed because it’s a little wonky, but I’d say this is 100% proof of Bill’s aims.

Jesus!
Is that real?

I must admit I’ve thought Bill had nefarious aims for a long time, I just needed to wake up and see it.

So enlightening when you do.

I like that OddCat went from thread entry to full 9/11 conspiracies to flounce in one day. Chapeau.

If so, shame. A useful reminder that CTs are a bit thick.

There is no educating these people.

I tried for ages to convince a mate that the world isn't flat, even going as far as giving him experiments that he could do himself.

Total waste of time and energy.
