The Pentagon, Black Helicopters, and the Bermuda Triangle

One of the best things about being part of GOPUSA is receiving all the e-mails from people across the entire country. It's so uplifting to know that we are reaching people with a solid, conservative message, and providing them with an alternative to the mainstream media. The kind words and compliments are a great source of inspiration to keep making GOPUSA bigger and better.

On the other hand, one of the strangest things about being part of GOPUSA is receiving all the e-mails from people across the entire country. Case in point is a series of e-mails questioning the details of the attack on the Pentagon on September 11.

As strange as this seems, there are groups of people out there who claim that Flight 77 did NOT crash into the Pentagon as the media and eyewitnesses have reported. An e-mail was forwarded to me by a GOPUSA associate in which the writer stated the following "Having personally observed some major aircraft crash sites, these photos raise serious questions in my mind. The apparent lack of penetration bothers me."

The writer was referring to a web site located at http://www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm which attempts to show by photographic evidence that the Boeing jet is somehow "missing" from the scene. When I checked out this web site, I couldn't believe what I was seeing and reading. I guess the "black helicopter" crowd is alive and well.

Now, I could bring my eight years of aerospace engineering education to bear on the claims of this web site, but that wouldn't be any fun to anyone. (Except maybe my fellow geeks out there.) Instead, there is this little thing known as "first hand experience" which casts a shadow on their theories.

It seems that God works in mysterious ways. For much of 2000 and 2001, I decided to cut back dramatically on my political traveling. I wanted to focus on two things and two things only: my family and GOPUSA. Around August of 2001, I felt that it was time to start traveling a little bit more to educate folks about GOPUSA in person. So, my first out-of-state trip was planned for Washington, DC to visit congressional offices and attend the American Conservative Union's "Policy Boot Camp" from September 9-11, 2001.

For those who have not read my account of what I saw as I was on the highway near the Pentagon on the morning of September 11, please read "Eyewitness to Tragedy" on the GOPUSA web site.

From what I saw, and using my training and education, I have concluded that there are only two explanations for the events in Washington, DC on September 11. Explanation 1: Flight 77 flew within a couple hundred feet above my head and crashed about 3 seconds later into the Pentagon. Explanation 2: Flight 77 flew within a couple hundred feet above my head and appeared to be headed straight for the Pentagon. In the following three seconds the National Security Agency stealthfully manipulated the time-space continuum and moved the Bermuda Triangle to directly over the Pentagon where it swallowed-up Flight 77. At that precise moment, explosives were remotely detonated in the walls of the Pentagon to simulate an aircraft collision.

Now, if both explanations seem plausible to you, then we might have a problem. Everybody knows that it would take at least ten seconds to move the Bermuda Triangle over the Pentagon using time-space continuum manipulation. Duh!

Seriously, I truly wonder what the point of these web sites is. Do they really think that our government would sacrifice the lives of thousands of civilians in order to raise public support for military action? That is a scary proposition, and one I'm confident the vast majority of normal Americans would not consider. Yet, it seems that with every major event in our history, there are a host of conspiracy theories attached to it.

My suggestion would be for these folks to invest their time and energy into fighting the bad guys rather than our own country.

I guess that wraps things up over here. Wait... what's that? Oh no!!! I better hide... A black helicopter just landed in my yard.
