Indian
Lake
CLAIM: "Residents and workers at businesses outside Shanksville,
Somerset County, reported discovering clothing, books, papers
and what appeared to be human remains," states a Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette article dated Sept. 13, 2001. "Others reported
what appeared to be crash debris floating in Indian Lake, nearly
6 miles from the immediate crash scene." Commenting on reports
that Indian Lake residents collected debris, Think AndAsk.com
speculates: "On Sept. 10, 2001, a strong cold front pushed
through the area, and behind it--winds blew northerly. Since Flight
93 crashed west-southwest of Indian Lake, it was impossible for
debris to fly perpendicular to wind direction. ... The FBI lied."
And the significance of widespread debris? Theorists claim the
plane was breaking up before it crashed. TheForbiddenKnowledge.com
states bluntly: "Without a doubt, Flight 93 was shot down."
FACT:
Wallace Miller, Somerset County coroner, tells PM no body parts
were found in Indian Lake. Human remains were confined to a 70-acre
area directly surrounding the crash site. Paper and tiny scraps
of sheetmetal, however, did land in the lake. "Very light
debris will fly into the air, because of the concussion,"
says former National Transportation Safety Board investigator
Matthew McCormick. Indian Lake is less than 1.5 miles southeast
of the impact crater--not 6 miles--easily within range of debris
blasted skyward by the heat of the explosion from the crash. And
the wind that day was northwesterly, at 9 to 12 mph, which means
it was blowing from the northwest--toward Indian Lake.

F-16 Pilot
CLAIM: In February 2004, retired Army Col. Donn de Grand-Pre said
on "The Alex Jones Show," a radio talk show broadcast
on 42 stations: "It [Flight 93] was taken out by the North
Dakota Air Guard. I know the pilot who fired those two missiles
to take down 93." LetsRoll911.org, citing de Grand-Pre, identifies
the pilot: "Major Rick Gibney fired two Sidewinder missiles
at the aircraft and destroyed it in midflight at precisely 0958."
FACT:
Saying he was reluctant to fuel debate by responding to unsubstantiated
charges, Gibney (a lieutenant colonel, not a major) declined to
comment. According to Air National Guard spokesman Master Sgt.
David Somdahl, Gibney flew an F-16 that morning--but nowhere near
Shanksville. He took off from Fargo, N.D., and flew to Bozeman,
Mont., to pick up Ed Jacoby Jr., the director of the New York
State Emergency Management Office. Gibney then flew Jacoby from
Montana to Albany, N.Y., so Jacoby could coordinate 17,000 rescue
workers engaged in the state's response to 9/11. Jacoby confirms
the day's events. "I was in Big Sky for an emergency managers
meeting. Someone called to say an F-16 was landing in Bozeman.
From there we flew to Albany." Jacoby is outraged by the
claim that Gibney shot down Flight 93. "I summarily dismiss
that because Lt. Col. Gibney was with me at that time. It disgusts
me to see this because the public is being misled. More than anything
else it disgusts me because it brings up fears. It brings up hopes--it
brings up all sorts of feelings, not only to the victims' families
but to all the individuals throughout the country, and the world
for that matter. I get angry at the misinformation out there."

Grassroots InfoMedia found many errors and outright lies in Popular
Mechanics 9/11 so called debunking of conspiracy facts. Grassroots
InfoMedia has learned that the March 2005 issue of Popular Mechanics
(PM) plumbs new depths of nepotism and Hearst-style "yellow
journalism" with its cover story about 9/11. PM's senior
researcher, 25-year-old Benjamin Chertoff, authored a propagandistic
cover story entitled "Debunking 9/11 Lies" which seeks
to discredit all independent 9/11 research that challenges the
official version of events. Benjamin Chertoff is the cousin of
Michael Chertoff, a former Assistant Attorney General and the
new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.Read

Benjamin
Chertoff author of the now infamous Popular Mechanics "Debunking

was not a qualified expert according to his resume that Grassroots
InfoMedia discovered on-line. Ben's degree in Bachelor of Arts,
New York University, 2002 with an Individualized major; Concentration
in European literature and history, hardly qualifies him on the
physics aspects of 9/11, and neither do any of the 5 jobs he has
had since 2001. See

Project For The New American Century, a think tank that now pervades the

if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent
some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."
And even more chilling is their statement of genocide "...advanced
forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes may transform
biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool."
