One Sucker's Saga, Part XI: Hidden Signal Obfuscated by Noise

[peristaltor]

I hope this to be the penultimate Saga entry. I've covered just about everything I consider salient to outlining my understanding of What Seems To Be Happening. There's just a bit of detail that most of the folks actively pursuing this alternate story miss so very, very much. Essentially, the "truther" crowd has been flumoxed and bamoozled by

Ummm, if there were explosives planted in the buildings while they were being built, then why did the FIRST attempt to blow up the buildings back in the 90s (vans loaded with explosives in the underground parking garages) fail so spectacularly? You know, that attack that landed Abdul Rahman in the federal pen? Hello? Bueller? :>

Abdul Rahman obviously broke the fuse.

(I'm getting an image here of Daffy Duck foiling Porky Pig's Thanksgiving by blowing out the match every time Porky tries to light the oven, which Daffy is in.)

After all that research, analysis, and reasoning, you have arrived at the plot of a Lone Gunmen episode. I well remember hearing all those claims that "nobody could have imagined this" and thinking, "Hello? Chris Carter!" (although it was more likely Frank Spotnitz) followed by a line from Lord John Whorfin (Buckaroo Banzai): "Don't you watch-a TV?" It's actually kind of creepy, how closely the plot for that episode ("Pilot") matches what you've described here... and the motive...

I loved that show, though I don't remember all the episodes. The only one I remember clearly was "Like Water For Octane." Great lesson at the end.

Yikes! I just read the synopsis for the pilot. Two seconds later the first disc was at the top of the Netflix pile.

It does amuse and amaze me how many claim that "Nobody saw this coming." As you said, any astute observer of pop culture could have predicted the attack. About the only thing missing was our self-preservation oriented Western culture failing to connect the ease of airline hijacking with the effectiveness of kamikazi attacks. Once it happened, though, the events broke through the dissonance and became face-palmingly obvious.

As to the motive listed, though, I would say I have really no idea why these things happened or specifically by whom were they orchestrated, only suspicions and hunches like the rest of us schmoes caught out of the loop. Arms sales increases? Bah. Too banal.

[albionwood]

Yet a lot of evil has been adequately explained by just such banality... Occam's Razor!

Nevertheless I agree, the actual motives will undoubtedly remain a mystery forever - even if we were to discover whodunnit, we'd never really know why. And Occam's Razor does not apply to human motive, only to observations. Motives are quite often exceedingly complex, frequently unknown even to the operator.

As for the ALS theory in general, it fails on Flight 93, does it not?

Prepare to be creeped out by "Pilot," and note the original air date.

ALS Detail

[peristaltor]

I don't think 93 disproves ALS at all. If anything, when one considers details of ALS operation, it strengthens it.

For example, I have pilot friends. They told me about a nifty transponder code pilots enter into an innocuous bit of kit in the cockpit that alerts air traffic of a hijacking. This is the only code that will prompt an air traffic control confirmation call. To confirm, the pilot only has to either resend the code through the transponder or, if able, to briefly squawk "Transponder confirmed" over the radio.

The four planes hijacked that day were taken over by the hijackers in the cockpits. Thus the alerting codes were never entered. Only one hijacker used the radio after asked why the plane was seriously off-course (M. Atta, IIRC). After the passengers got word through their own wireless devices of what was really going to happen to them, they stormed the cockpit, leading to the Allahu ackbar! death plunge.

One thing to note, that was brought up by Ruppert in Rubicon: ALS needs high-bandwidth for precision
