That's what a French author says and it has turned their book into a bestseller in France. First France won't help us with the Zacarias Moussaoui trial and now this bullsh*t. I beginning to think that France should change their name to Assland. Bestseller says Pentagon Plane Crash a Hoax. The French are lapping up a Sept. 11 conspiracy theory that argues the plane that smashed into the Pentagon (news - web sites) never existed and that the world has been duped by a murky U.S. government plot. Thierry Meyssan's book "The Frightening Fraud" is flying off shelves according to booksellers and has topped bestseller lists. Meyssan, president of Reseau Voltaire, a respected left-wing think tank, reckons the American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon in Washington killing 189 on September 11 did not exist and that the whole thing was staged by the government. "I believe the American government is lying... No plane crashed into the Pentagon," he told France 2 television. Meyssan did not provide an alternative theory for what may have damaged the Pentagon. And although French media has scoffed at Meyssan's musings, comparing them to the Roswell alien cover-up theory dramatized in the hit TV show "The X-Files (news - Y! TV)," the public are intrigued. "Copies have been flying off shelves," a saleswoman at FNAC bookshop in central Paris told Reuters. It shot to the top of Amazon France's bestseller list and made it to second place in the booksellers' weekly Livres Hebdo's sales list. SCIENCE FICTION Daily newspaper Liberation slammed the book as "a tissue of wild allegations," marveling at its quick rise to fame, from Internet chatrooms, via television chat shows, to bestseller. Conspiracy theories like the rumors that swirled around the 1963 shooting of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, or the idea that man never actually set foot on the moon, are not uncommon in the United States, but are fairly rare in France. "This phenomenon is not typical of the French," sociologist Pierre Lagrange told Liberation. "But the events of September 11 gave us a reality so similar to science fiction, that there has been more of a market for paranoid interpretations." Meyssan says key evidence shows witness accounts are contradictory, that there are few photographs of the crash and that those that do exist show no debris from the plane. He also asks why the facade of the Pentagon did not immediately collapse from the shock of the impact and questions the fate of the passengers on the flight. "What became of the passengers of American Airlines Flight 77? Are they dead?" he asks. Daily newspaper Le Monde and Liberation both probed Meyssan's theory, tracking down relatives of the victims, and quizzing officials over the crash. News weekly Le Nouvel Observateur denounced the book as revisionism. "This theory suits everyone -- there are no Islamic extremists...everyone is happy. It eliminates reality." But while Le Monde dismissed Meyssan's theory as flimsy, it admitted that information available did not quite add up. "There is no official account of the crash...the lack of information is feeding the rumor." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20020401/od_nm/conspiracy_dc_1
Actually, I saw a website that showed pictures of the crash and shows no airplane anywhere. It didn't crash like an airplane should, etc. I'll see if I can find it. Very convincing. I also heard a guy on 90.1 talking about it. He said that there are anti-air missiles in the pentagon courtyard to shoot down planes like that.
<a href="http://www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm">Here's the link</a>. I don't know if it's true or not, but it is interesting.
So what happened to the people who were supposedly on that flight? And what happened to the plane if it didn't crash into the Pentagon? It cannot be denied that regular everyday people went to the airport and got on an airplane. Every single person on that plane and the plane itself has since disappeared. And amazingly, civilians on the ground in DC report seeing a plane flying low over the city, turning around, heading straight for the Capitol then turning toward the Pentagon then that was immediately followed by the plane disappearing adn an explosion at the Pentagon. That's an AMAZING coincidence that the US Government would detonate a bomb at the Pentagon at EXACTLY the same time as a hijacked plane would be turning directly toward the Pentagon and manage to make the plane disappear at the same time. And what an amazing coincidence that the US Government decided to plan a fake plane crash into the Pentagon within minutes of two planes ACTUALLY hitting the World Trade Center (say what you will, but you gotta plan blowing up a building an making a plane and a bunch of passengers disappear). You'd think they'd call the whole hoax off since there was no need since planes actually were crashing in other parts of the country. Or was that all fake, too? One of the things about the Pentagon crash is that the plane didn't hit the building directly (according to witnesses), it hit the ground first and then bounced into the Pentagon. So, it's not necessarily going to look like a plane directly flew into it because a plane didn't fly directly into it.
Exactly mrpaige. I guess a couple of hundred people decided to fake their deaths on the same day. Seems rational to me! Lets see, the plane crash in Pennsylvania was real, the one at the World Trade Centers were real, but the one at the Pentagon wasn't real! Why? Because it doesn't LOOK like a plane crashed there! Now that's good, sound logic to me! Lets get the picture of the other couple of dozen times that planes have hit the Pentagon and compare! I find it sick that some piece of garbage is using the death of thousands of people to make a buck, and is trying to hide behind the weak disguise of "government conspiracies".
And caused no damage and wasn't seen by anyone and still not found to this day? Maybe the plane was stolen by aliens. It's just as plausible a theory. It's still amazing to me that the US Government managed to pick the exact same moment a hijacked plane was heading for the Pentagon to perpetrate their hoax (for whatever reason) and blow up a bomb at the Pentagon (and managing to make a plane and all its passengers disappear.) Or was there always a plan in motion to blow up part of the Pentagon and they just waited until that exact moment to go with it..... And manage to make it so no one could see the actual plane crash, not even anyone near where the plane actually crashed. Of course, this book says the plane never existed, so everybody who was supposedly on it and everybody who saw it from the ground and everybody at Dulles who saw the plane at the gate and so on and so on and so on was in on the plot... For what purpose? Who knows? But the fact that the US Government undertook a plot to pretend a plane crashed into the Pentagon within minutes of two planes actually hitting the WTC and just prior to one crashing in Pennsylvania implies that they were involved in all of the hijackings. There's no way they could get that many people involved in this conspiracy without prior knowledge that the other hijackings were going to take place that day. To say that they were able to plant a bomb and fake an airplane and all its passengers (and kill of them) would take a lot of planning, and the plane took off within minutes of the planes hitting the WTC towers. So, the French are basically accusing the US Government of staging the whole thing..... But then it gets back to why they would actually have three planes hijacked and flown into the WTC and the ground in Pennsylvania only to go to so much trouble to set up such an elaborate conspiracy including a fake crash at the Pentagon? Why plan and perpetrate an elaborate conspiracy for one crash and rely on low-tech means for the other three? Or is it just an amazing coincidence that the Government planned an elaborate conspiracy and explosion and mass murder involving inventing a plane and pretending to crash it into the Pentagon at the exact same time that someone completely unrelated to this conspiracy was hijacking planes and flying them into buildings (or attempting to in the case of the third one)? Never underestimate people's willingness to believe the most whacked out conspiracy theories. No matter how inplausible. No matter how much the evidence contradicts it, there's people who will believe. If God himself came down from the heavens and said "A plane crashed into the Pentagon", some people would say "See how high the conspiracy goes."
Lets remember its not the French who are saying all this, its a French author. that is a pretty big difference. thats like all Americans think like David Duke because he sold a few books
Funny how they don't explain WHY the government decided to fake a plane crash into the Pentagon. Nothing better to do? I can see it now: <b>Bush</b>: Get Colin Powell in here <b>Powell</b>: What's up George? <b>Bush</b>: Damn I'm bored, I've been in office for 8 months and there hasn't been crap going on! <b>Powell</b>: I know what you're saying, I tried starting a war with Saddam, but lazy @ss America doesn't want to start a war, OOOOHHH. <i>*Bush sitting down pondering then snaps his finger*</i> <b>Bush</b>: Hey Cole, I have a plan to get the Democrats off our @ss, start a war in the Middle East, bust a cap in Saddam, and make a little money on the side! <b>Powell</b>: I'm all ears baby!! <b>Bush</b>: How about we fly a plane into the Pentagon? <b>Powell</b>: How in the $%^ is that going to help anything? <i>*Bush rubbing his fingers together*</i> <b>Bush</b>: Cash flow baby! We'll get all kind of funding from the American people living off their pity and sympathy! <b>Powell</b>: What about the plane? <b>Bush</b>: We can fly it into the building and then blame it on somebody, John Denver, Bill Clinton, I don't know we'll come up with something! <b>Powell</b>: Then we can fire a missile at it, have it hit the building, and say we were trying to shoot down that son of a %^&* <b>Bush</b>: Now you're on the same wavelength my man! <i>2 days later Bush calls Colin Powell on the cell phone</i> <b>Bush</b>: Dude you have the plane ready <b>Powell</b>: Son of a. . .you're not going to believe this some #$%hole has flown a couple of planes into the WTCs and screwed us over! <b>Bush</b>: No, no this is perfect, fly the plane into the Pentagon, then we can blame it on whoever flew the planes into the WTC, god bless America! <b>Powell</b>: Just make sure you don't tell the French, they always seem to know when we're going to come up with a conspiracy!
No, but the French are buying into it enough to make the book a bestseller. It's Jerry lewis all over again, isn't it?
Are these photos what this guy is basing his book on ? All of those photos can be explained #4 is the most obvious... Can you explain why the Defence Secretary deemed it necessary to sand over the lawn, which was otherwise undamaged after the attack? Maybe it was because they needed to bring in heavy machinery weighing tons,on to a soaked lawn...duh The french need to stfu and go surrender to someone.
This is just the first part of the french plan to surrender 'gracefully' to whomever they actually decide actually did it.
Actually not stepping on toes are doubting this but the videos of the blast I saw did not show any plane either..so it was because they thought it might be too horrific to show on tv or whatever else. Did anyone notice the amount of fotage that was taken of the plane pieces of the world trade center but yet at the Pentagon I did not see once shot of any plane pieces unless I overlooked something. Kinda look at this from the rosewell standpoint the army or military forces still claim to this day it was a hoax some dummys made of a hard material thrown out of a plane. We all know what happend at Rosewell and what was kept at area 51 no matter what line of bull they try to feed the public Proof is there just back then we did not have the technology we have today to prove otherwise. Is it possible that the goverment is not releasing all actual facts of what happend at the pentagon that horrific day. You would think this is a national security area that they would have cameras at all angles around this area. But yet not one part of the video you see an airplane flying in the building Couple of things people ask today. Air traffic control forseen this plane heading towards pentagon why was there never a plan to shoot this plane down before it caused this tragedy. And if anything did the plane that never made it to its destination were they shot down before it was to hit the white house? from the reports debris was scattered for miles alittle more average than normal. Alot tend to ignore this fact for the simple reason we are deeply effected by the 9/11 tragedy that it sticks in our minds that we fail to realize what else could have happend that day. Could it be possible that the goverment is indeed hiding things from the public for fear of a global panic or something even more undeniable that the american people would defy the goverment and how it is operated today?
The plane had turned off its transponder. Air traffic didn't see it head toward the Pentagon (and it wasn't heading toward the Pentagon until RIGHT before it hit it), people on the ground (who were obviously in on the conspiracy) saw it turn toward the Pentagon. How quickly do you think they could get permission to fire on an American civilian jetliner? I would venture to guess that it takes more than six or seven seconds to get the okay to start blowing American Airlines jets out of the sky, even today (assuming there even was the ability to shoot the craft down from the Pentagon. The security is kept secret. We don't know what anti-aircraft weapons they do or do not have. It was widely speculated that no civilian prop planes could get anywhere near the White House because of their anti-aircraft defense, but someone still managed to crash a plane into the White House in the mid '90s. Or was that a hoax, too? I mean, other than the plane sitting there up against the building, it didn't really look like a plane had hit it... and they could've put that plane there after the fact to dupe us) For the record, other than the tapes of the planes actually hitting the buildings in New York, I've never seen any plane pieces in the wreckage and whatnot of the WTC. The fact that no documentary filmmakers happened to be filming on the lawn of the Pentagon that day proves that there was no plane? (and the plane that has now disappeared is where again? There was a plane at the gate. It had passengers board. It took off. It was hijacked. It was seen by people on the ground flying over Washington. Where is it? Tell me where it is. Before you say one more thing, explain to me where the plane is and where all those people went and how it managed to disappear without anyone noticing AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AS A BOMB WAS BEING SET OFF AT THE PENTAGON BY THE US GOVERNMENT). I saw the footage from the crash site in Pennsylvania, and there wasn't much of anything there, either. Certainly not what looked like a jumbo jet crash to me. Perhaps that was all faked, too. As a matter of fact, I'm quite certain now that the Twin Towers are actually still standing in New York City. The whole thing has been an elaborate hoax. Nobody died on September 11th. No planes hit buildings. It was all just an elaborate conspiracy to dupe the public. Thank God we know the truth now (of course, I can't believe I'm getting worked up about something posted by someone who lives in such an elaborate fantasy world in regard to Roswell. It's no wonder such a person would not believe what actually happened). Hey Troy, You know how many gunmen there were in Dallas on November 22, 1963? Zero. Kennedy's head just did that for no reason. It's the no-bullet theory. A theory that is just as plausible as anything in your post. The sad thing is that in fice or six years, there probably will end up being a huge market for conspiracy books and crackpot theories in the United States. People often love a conspiracy no matter how completely insane it is and how little sense it makes, so much so that they find them all over the place. We should change the national motto to "Never believe the obvious answer when an elaborate and unlikely conspiracy theory is possible to concoct" But at any rate, I'm glad we now know the truth. September 11th never happened. It was all a hoax. We can all go back to feeling safe and secure in our world now because the conspiracy theorists have shown us the light. I'm a believer, my brutha. Show me the way.
