Rant and can't find it?
9-11
Unforgotten, Part Five
 This
is the fifth installment in a planned set of ten Raging
Pencils comics, each addressing facets of 9-11... and
I haven't even gotten to the attacks on the WTC
yet.
--------------
They did research on cell phone connectivity
in planes in the aftermath of 9-11 and discovered that
the possibility of getting a call through, even when
the
plane was as
low as 4000
feet, was only about .5 percent. This is to say nothing
of the hand-off problem as the plane passes over one
cell tower after another at 400mph.
Meanwhile, passengers onboard the hijacked aircraft
on 9-11 were seemingly
making
calls
like they were just down the street at Starbucks. And
maybe they were.
To me the calls sound either staged and forced or
eerily calm.
Be sure and view the video below and listen closely
to CeeCee Lyles call to her husband. Not only does
she refer to their children as "my children", there's
a creepy, "Great job" whispered at the end. Odd.
-------------
In researching this series I've stumbled across some
really interesting new information, not the least of
which is this story about the NTSB
data.
It seems an Australian researcher, working independently,
dug through the NTSB data and discovered the cockpit
doors on
all the
planes
had
remained locked
throughout the hijackings.

Super Fun Pilot Hani Hanjour here.

Republican Job Creation Update
 "We're
going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs." -
John Boehner, February 10, 2011.
The following is #77 in a list of Republican
job creation activities
since they gained control of the House in 2011.
None, sad to
say,
have
yet to result in one, single new job.
(77) 9-6-2011: Michelle
Bachmann has a brilliant new answer for
lots of high-paying jobs... slash the corporate tax
rate to zero.... except corporate America is already
paying an effective rate of zero. Even so, job
creation is down
the dumper. Back to the Etch-A-Sketch, Michelle.
NOTE: As a result of an unexpected wave of enthusiasm
for the Republican
Job Creation update now has its
own web site. It will remain on the RP but a web site
of its own will raise its visibility on the 'net as
we progress towards the critical 2012 elections. And
I thank you for your support.

Dump Fox News
 And
what manner of lie is Fox News spewing today? They've
edited a James
Hoffa speech to make it seem like
a call to violence. Those little scamps.

A number of cell phone
calls were reportedly
made by passengers from
the four hijacked planes
on 9-11. One of them
went as follows:
"
Mom? This is Mark Brigham.
We are getting hijacked.
You do believe me, don't
you?"
July 27, 2004
Press Release - "Travelers
could be talking on their
personal cellphones as
early as 2006. Earlier
this month [July 2004],
American Airlines conducted
a trial run on a modified
aircraft that permitted
cell phone calls." -
American Airlines
Yes, cell phones did
not work on commercial
aircraft in 2001. So
who actually made those
calls and where did they
come from?november 27,2009
September 11, 2001
Flight 77 takes off for
los angeles. Like all
commercial aircraft it
has a sensor on the pilot's
door, recording when
it opens or closes.
November 27, 2009
According to uncovered
NTSB flight data the
pilot’s door for
flight 77, the one which
crashed into the Pentagon,
was never opened while
in flight.
September 11,
2001
Hani Hanjour, the only
hijacker listed as a
pilot on flight 77, could
not successfully solo
a Cessna 150, according
to his flight instructor.
September 11, 2001
The 757 that Hanjour
is alleged to have crashed
into the Pentagon is
recorded performing maneuvers
that exceed the skills
of an experienced fighter
pilot.
So we have a plane that
wasn’t hijacked,
filled with people making
impossible phone calls,
flown perfectly by a
man who couldn’t
fly, and which struck
the Pentagon so exactly
that it never disturbed
the lawn....
And that’s still
not all of the questions.
