Richards in my run in 1994 [italics Chatterbox's]

Fabricating Intelligence for Political Gain
3 August 2004

The disinformation campaign, which is fed on a daily basis into the
news chain, supports this process of shaping US public opinion. The
hidden agenda ultimately consists in creating an environment of
fear...

http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO402A.html

The Real Agenda

According to the New York Times it is only now, nearly five years
after Sept. 11, that the full picture of the Bush administration's
response to the terror attacks is becoming clear. Much of it, we can
see now, had far less to do with fighting Osama bin Laden than with
expanding presidential power.

To a disturbing degree, the horror of 9/11 became an excuse to take
up this cause behind the shield of Americans' deep insecurity. The
results have been devastating. Americans' civil liberties have been
trampled. The nation's image as a champion of human rights has been
gravely harmed. Prisoners have been abused, tortured and even killed
at the prisons we know about, while other prisons operate in secret.
American agents "disappear" people, some entirely innocent, and send
them off to torture chambers in distant lands. Hundreds of innocent
men have been jailed at Guantánamo Bay without charges or
rudimentary rights. And Congress has shirked its duty to correct
this out of fear of being painted as pro-terrorist at election time.

737 hit the south tower, not a 767 the smoking Guns of the 9-11
conspiracy

The street engine was identified as a CFM56, the sole powerplant of
the Boeing 737 after the 737-200 series. HOWEVER, flight (United
Airlines) UA175 that was reported to have crashed into the South
Tower was a Boeing 767-200.
http://www.rense.com/general63/hiding.htm

(Jeff) Rense.com has not only provided actual photographs (see
photos at: http://www.rense.com/general64/wth.htm ) of one of the
engines from a Boeing 737, NOT a 767 as offered by "our" government,
but has reinforced that photographic evidence with a realistic
explanation from a government-trained aviation expert. COL. George
Nelson (ret) (see his remarks below) graphically and in detail
explains that aircraft parts, all of them, are identified by serial
numbers that are then tied into the main serial number of the
aircraft itself. And the photo of the engine shows, when compared to
the downed "Murray Street" sign, and with a carpenter's square
inserted in the compressor fan area, that it is a small jet engine,
which could never have come from a large Boeing 767 airliner.

Pentagon Jet Engine Identified,

A JT8D engine was identified in the Pentagon crash debris. HOWEVER,
a JT8D engine is NOT the powerplant the Flight 77, which was a
Boeing 757 that is reported to have struck the Pentagon.
http://www.rense.com/general63/ident.htm
February 2, 2005.....The post-attack cleanup at the Pentagon shed
some light on the fact that it was not a 757, but exactly what the
part recovered was has not been easy to find or locate.
It is not a "turbofan" component, it is in fact a "turbojet"
component from an US Air Force/Navy vintage type of jet engine
technology that was used on just a limited number of fighters,
bombers and reconnaissance planes.

There was one credible witness found that saw "a two-engine jet
airplane, the engines were under the wings." That is a visual
description of a 737, 757, or 767, but it is also a description of
an A-3 Skywarrior.

See jet engine photos at:

////// What has been interesting is the level of "content blocking"
that there is on the Internet where specific information regarding
certain "jet engine components" such as those shown at the Pentagon
have definitely been blocked. Our team had to take steps to go
around the content blocks to get at the photos you are seeing
regarding these rotor hub components.
That part has a specific UPN (Universal Part Number) and it cannot
be found by looking for that UPN. Other measures were needed to find
what you are seeing in these photos to circumvent what is apparently
intentional content blocking. Someone has gone to considerable
lengths to make sure that the actual components that were found at
the Pentagon could not be found and it took my team over two years
to hammer through such blocks to find three of these photos (Praxair
and Evergreen) to verify the component
