Why Dick Eastman's Latest 9/11 Proof is Wrong, Wrong, Wrong

[Bolo Boffin]

When he's not trying to convince you that Hillary Clinton committed the OJ Simpson murders, Dick Eastman is busy concocting fresh new disinformation about the 9/11 attacks. Witness his latest piece of tripe:

The first graphic should be enough for rational people alone. Let's take an upclose look at it right here:



Shocking, isn't it? It represents itself as an accurate drawing of the basic layout of the Pentagon and the Annex. Note the angle of the "fighter jet" and the North compass point. Yet this is hopelessly, hopelessly inept as even a crude rendering. Let's not even concern ourselves with scale. The drawing goes to the trouble of indicating an slight slope to Washington Blvd., but then glaringly mislocates both the Annex and the gas station.

Due to his incredibly shoddy layout, Eastman can then draw that AA jet flying perpendicular to the Pentagon wall, which is another of his fixations, I believe. As you can see, there's no need (other than disinformation) to have the AA jet flying such a different course.

Dick Eastman can't get his basic facts straight. This drawing is deceptive and should completely discredit Mr. Eastman as a source of any information.

This is all based on the testimony of a Sgt. William Lagasse who was buying gas at the gas station near the Navy annex. (Get it? Bill La Gasse buying gas? Well, stranger things have happened...)

Dick holds to Lagasse's statement about being on the starboard side of the incoming AA jet like it was the gospel, but never tells you that Lagasse watched that plane hit the Pentagon. Lagasse was in the perfect position to observe both the AA jet fly over the Pentagon and the fighter jet actually hit the building, but he doesn't report that. He says, One plane. He says, that plane hit the Pentagon.

Here's Lagasse's entire statement. I don't hold to every conclusion this site comes to. I just think Lagasse has got port and starboard mixed up, if Lagasse even exists. Has anyone ever met Sgt. Lagasse face to face besides Dick Eastman?

Remember our Humian dictate: weigh the miracle against the miracle. Which is the greater miracle: Lagasse being mistaken about port and starboard, or Dick Eastman being correct about his aeriel ballet sequence? The greater miracle must be rejected.

Buh-bye, Mr. Eastman.

1. Hi boloboffin-

Did the 9/11 commission ever get the alledged videotapes from the gas station? For the life of me, I can't figure out why this tape hasn't been released to the public. Seems like it would clear up lots of questions....

[Bolo Boffin]

8. I can't find any reference to the gas station tape yet

Doesn't mean they didn't, and there's lots of stuff that won't be released.

So I can only guess why the tape isn't accessibly publicly. It was most likely picked up by the FBI because it was material evidence. That's no big deal. But why it hasn't been released yet? Well, maybe the Pentagon doesn't want it showing up in al Qaeda propaganda films. That's the only concern I can see overweighing our desire to see the tape.

2. Starboard side?

Lagasse was apparently not at all mixed up

N.B.

Question#9 I was almost directly behind the aircraft when it went in and
could see the tail an port side(sic)



So what is Eastman then if not a bare faced liar, QED?

[Bolo Boffin]

4. QED!

Too dang bad that you had to link to APFN to show it, but I've got the link now myself. Thanks for that - I wonder if Sgt. Lagasse knows how badly Eastman is lying about his testimony?

[objection]

5. It is worse than that.

If you carefully follow the course of the correspondence it gives an insight into the modus operandi. Eastman would seem to have it in mind to compete with David Blaine. It is all done with smoke, mirrors and misdirection.

3. Agreed, but there's even more...

6. Thanks, Merc!

I thought that this particular topic wasn't getting enough attention since it's been buried by Mr. Eastman in another topic.

So I thought I'd start a new thread to get some focused discussion going on...how long until Abe tries to distract this thread away from the topic? I've got dibs on his first post!

:thumbsup:

7. Remember, though...not ONE person has refuted the great Mr. Eastman!

...not according to Abe, anyway.

I'm actually interested to get a response from Eastman himself. I really would be interested in what he has to say.
