Please dont tell me I’m the one drinking the Kool-Aid!

As far as conspiracy theories go, I find this one interesting.
While having dinner last night, a good friend of mine and I were discussing 9/11. He said to me there is no evidence any plane hit the pentagon. I immediately let out a surprised laugh as I thought his comment was pure nonsense.
So in response to that comment I said; “Easy enough lets jump on the internet. I bet I can find thousands of images of a plane hitting the pentagon. There are dozens of CCTV’s which caught images of the plane hitting the pentagon.” I also said with the utmost confidence, “I remember seeing images of a plane hitting the pentagon.”
We went up to the home study and I jumped on Google, MSN and Yahoo. I pecked at the computer for images of 9/11. I ran a search for 9/11 pentagon, 911, 911 images.
I looked at all the pictures and did not see one image that showed a plane hitting the pentagon. I thought this was really strange. All the images I am looking at are from the cameras that took pictures of the crash, but not one image of a plains tail, engine passenger seats… Nothing looked like a massive plane crash. Not even skid marks!
My friend then said to me, remember the crash over PA? I responded to him in anger, “what about it”. He said not one body was found. There was no blood. I shook this off as pure conspiracy crap and pecked away at the internet. But I found nothing on any of these three major search engines to show proof a plane hit the pentagon.
For a moment I felt dizzy. After about 10 min I said out loud, “have I been the one drinking the Kool-Aid”?
So I woke up today with the need to figure out what the hell was going on. There was this huge issue about Google allowing China to censor images. If you do a Google search on “Tiananmen square” in China, the images are not what you would get if you did that same search in the US. The funny thing about censorship is you dont know your the subject of it unless your exposed to it from a new prospective.
I hunted around much more and I came across this video called “9/11Loose Change” by Phil Jayhan and Korey Rowe. The video made several points that have got me thinking. To be honest, some of the points seem so obvious it makes me wonder what the hell is going on. When I first watched Fahrenheit 9/11 I just laughed. It was so bad because all the connections were just a stretch. But this film I saw today has made some solid points.
Why did the FBI confiscate all the CCTV footage from the hotels, gas stations and other surrounding buildings to the pentagon? What’s to hide? I want to see the images of a plane hitting the building. I’ve seen the WTC images a billion times, let me see these images.
Why is there no debris that resembles a massive crash? It could not have all burned up, could it? There have been dozens of airplane crashes over the years and they all seem to have one thing in common, the disaster site looks like a freaking plane hit it. Where did the plane go that hit the pentagon? Where were the bodies of the passengers in the PA crash? Why are there official reports from coroners that there are no bodies in the crash site?
And this is my favorite point the video make… Oh man, this is just laughable if this is true.. None of the black boxes were found, right! This is because there was so much damage and burnt rubble and just catastrophic debris from two of our nation’s largest buildings crashing down on the streets of NY. Well lucky for us, in the midst of all the violent wind that was caused due to the explosions and violent force of heat, one of the terrorist’s passports flew out of the
plane and landed into the streets of NY. A FBI agent found the passport which lead them to confirm who one of the terrorist who died in the attack.
I am not making this up. I have no clue if this is true or not. The video has cited sources for this information. God I sure hope this is not true.
A part of me feels ashamed for even considering there is anything going on other then what I and the American public have been led to believe. Then again, I know only to well someone has to drink the Kool-Aid. I think I will start a new category in my Blog called Kool-Aid for things like this.

surprisingly, i have not seen that video yet.
i don’t claim to know what happened on 9/11, but to believe that the public has been properly informed about the events would be laughable. that’s just not how the system works.

I just stumbled in from Webguerrilla and decided to read your past blog posts so I’m a bit late with the comment.
This POV is understandable… No bodies? No wreckage? = No Plane crash?
However… I work at an airline and can say that jumbo jets look solid but aren’t. I don’t do the maintenance but I’m a bit familiar with the aircraft. The fuselage is paper this aluminum. The jet engines look like they weigh ten tons but I was shocked when I saw one taken apart. Those huge jets are almost completely hollow and made out super thin titanium. The seats and everything inside the aircraft are made out of the most lightweight materials they can find. (IMO) the landing gear, people and their luggage would be the most durable objects in a crash. I don’t know the exact numbers but large aircraft on long-haul flights depart with something like 40-50 Thousand pounds of jet fuel.
Most plane crashes are actually “crash landings” where the pilots do their best to survive the crash and land the plane in one piece without killing themselves or the passengers. The plane usually disintegrates anyway and bursts into flames but sometimes there are enough large pieces left that a few lucky people in those sections survive. In the case of the Pentagon, it was a direct hit at full speed into a very solid object. The crash in Pennsylvania was a nose-dive at full speed directly into the ground like a lawn dart. There wasn’t much wreckage left from that crash either.
The fact is… Two planes full of unrelated people are missing.
If they didn’t crash into the pentagon, or Pennsylvania, than where are they? How would you fake something like two missing planes full of hundreds of real people?
I do believe planes crashed. But, on the other hand… I don’t believe they are telling us everything.

Perhaps one of the reasons so many drank the Kool-Aid… http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/01/AR2006080101300.html?referrer=email
