I never said this:
As for your claim that marks are "visible" on the facade where the vertical stabilizer allegedly struck....
The wings. There are photos out there that show the limestone facade blocks having been affected by the wing impacts.
The vertical stabilizer is, as I said, a composite material. Not aluminum, nor as substantial in build as the wings.
The vertical stabilizer would have shattered on impact, at those speeds and against the stone.
So....is it now the contention that no airplane at all hit the Pentagon?
Despite the evident debris from a Boeing 757....a destroyed Boeing 757? And the DNA from the passengers and crew? And the personal effects? And the path of damage shown? And the debris that continued ahead to punch out ultimately at the C-Ring?
All of that (plus much, much more) must be "ignored" in order to proceed with an "hypothesis" of "no airplane".....seems ludicrous, on its face.
You used the word "fact" about five times...yet, not one of those statements is indeed, a fact
Those are apparently an opinion held by.....about one individual (or, perhaps maybe a handful of others?)
Compared to thousands, if not millions of others who have reviewed all of the evidence, and would merely rolltheir eyes at the claims (those five) made as "facts"....
Everyone didn't blink or duck on impact. This was a real gem of an explanation and was a source of great amusement for those in the real world.

Supporting the OS of the Pentagon crash is what I find rather amusing. Hearsay is not evidence regardless who says it. The fact is you have no evidence that a plane crashed into the Pentagon.

Oh, I do. No a single person saw the plane fly over the Pentagon.
Maybe that's because there was a huge explosion hiding it, and people were not looking directly at it?
There is no physical evidence of a Boeing hitting the pentagon, other than a few parts that could have come from anywhere. There is no smoking gun evidence that flight 77 hit the pentagon. Let's not pretend there is, otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion.
The fact is that there is no evidence of anything but a plane crashing into the Pentagon.
Don't let the fact that there is:
1. Radar evidence
2. Eyewitness evidence
3. Physical evidence
And
4. Forensic evidence
..stop you. By all means keep clinging to your lunatic theories.
And once again, we see the assertion that, literally thousands of local, state, and federal employees were involved in this massive conspiracy
in addition to all the non-government employed citizens that were in the area and witnessed Flight 77's final seconds.
Because for your theory to have a hint of truth to it, that is what had to have happened.
All the people who watched from the highway had to be on on it.
All the people who were in ATC facilities and watched/tracked Flight 77 had to be in on it.
The airline employees who dealt with the flight had to be in on it,
from those who serviced and flew it, to those employees who took custody of what was left of the wreckage after the investigation, had to be in on it.
All the people who responded to the Pentagon, had to be in on it.
And finally, all the men and women who spent weeks clearing the wreckage/conducting the investigation had to be in on it.
And In ten years, NOT ONE OF THEM HAS TALKED.

The fact is there is no evidence of a plane crashing into the Pentagon, which is your “opinion.” Government hearsay is not proof or evidence.

Perhaps torturing (water boarding) of innocent people into making “false confession” is how we have terrorist. How many times did we have to water board one person to confess he did 911, oh yes 180 times in one month and some people want to call that reliable intel.
And you continue to show just how little you actually know about the subject. When someone makes a formal statement about what they witnessed, and it is accepted into evidence in a court of law, it is no longer "hearsay", it's called evidence. You should do some more research in the Moussari trial exhibits.
Or were all those people involved in that trial in on it too?
Moussari case lacked evidence, beyond his own admissions
They said he was therefore[color=gold] incompetent to represent himself, and perhaps even to stand trial. "Mr. Moussaoui's ideology appears to be interlaced with serious psychopathology, the nature of which is unclear," they told Judge Brinkema.
Two psychologists they hired speculated that "Mr. Moussaoui's decision to waive his right to counsel may be the product of a mental disease or defect rendering the decision involuntary." They cited "considerable evidence that Mr. Moussaoui's thinking is dominated by irrational and unrealistic persecutory beliefs." One of them claimed Moussaoui's behavior was "far more consistent with a paranoid psychosis than with being an extremist Muslim."
But the prosecutors had an expert of their own, a court-appointed psychiatrist who interviewed Moussaoui for two hours and concluded that he was capable of deciding for himself how to proceed with his defense. "His actions and attitudes are not the product of mental illness, but are based on his view of the world," the prosecutors said. "He is a fanatic, a jihadist, but he is not mentally incompetent to stand trial or waive his right to counsel."
Brinkema initially agreed, finding that Moussaoui was mentally competent to fire his lawyers. But later she indicated that she might reconsider that decision. She said she would allow the defense attorneys to continue looking for evidence to impugn their former client's sanity. In a handwritten motion filed after that ruling, Moussaoui tried to turn the tables on his examiners, saying Brinkema displayed "acute symptom of Islamophobia with complex gender inferiority." He recommended "immediate psychiatric hospitalization" in the "UBL Treatment Center," explaining that UBL -- the government's shorthand for "Usama Bin Laden" -- "of course...stand[s] for unique best location."

None of this was about getting to the truth, this is apparently about finding someone guilty and closing the case, the trial was a joke nothing but a dog and pony show. It is still “hearsay” no matter how you want to define it.
“Perhaps you should do some more research in the Moussaoui trial exhibits.” As insane Moussaoui was, I find it very hard to believe this man was able to pull off anything.
Really? A dog and pony show?
China Inspired Interrogations at Guantánamo
The 1957 article from which the chart was copied was entitled “Communist Attempts to Elicit False Confessions From Air Force Prisoners of War” and written by Albert D. Biderman, a sociologist then working for the Air Force, who died in 2003. Mr. Biderman had interviewed American prisoners returning from North Korea, some of whom had been filmed by their Chinese interrogators confessing to germ warfare and other atrocities.
Those orchestrated confessions led to allegations that the American prisoners had been “brainwashed,” and provoked the military to revamp its training to give some military personnel a taste of the enemies’ harsh methods to inoculate them against quick capitulation if captured.
In 2002, the training program, known as SERE, for Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape, became a source of interrogation methods both for the C.I.A. and the military. In what critics describe as a remarkable case of historical amnesia, officials who drew on the SERE program appear to have been unaware that it had been created as a result of concern about false confessions by American prisoners.
[color=gold]“What makes this document doubly stunning is that these were techniques to get false confessions,” Mr. Levin said. “People say we need intelligence, and we do. But we don’t need false intelligence.”
The courts allowed it. You cry hearsay, yet you haven't a clue what it means.
No, it's not on Alex Jones website. You may find it interesting.
