Faking an assassination wouldn't achieve your goal of assassinating the person. Faking the details, such as blaming a PATSY, would be essential. And often that patsy setup can be very complicated. But it protects both your assets and your operation.

Not recommended in black ops, and incredibly more complicated, IMO. Plane swaps allow for the remote-controlled craft to be fine tuned and setup at your leisure - the only intricacy is the swap itself, and if your pilots and passengers are participants, there's no fuss and no "witnesses" to hush up.

Sure, but with 9/11, the goal isn't so much to crash Flight 93 as to make people believe it crashed. That's why I said "faking an assassination". Because the easiest way to make people believe you assassinated somebody is to actually do it, and likewise with Flight 93, I was suggesting. It's not a perfect analogy.

Granted, the problem of setting up commercial aircraft with remote-control equipment is somewhat of an unknown. It might indeed be challenging. It might not be. Without knowing what technology would be required to remotely hijack an aircraft, I can't be sure. I'm assuming it's possible, and not super-risky, but I might be wrong.
But I think you're underestimating the problem of faking passengers, and I haven't read a plausible plane-swapping scenario that fits with what's known about what happened on 9/11. (If one has been written up somewhere, please post a link. Or post your own scenario, if you have one.)
About the passengers: Everyone who allegedly boarded AA 11, AA 77, UAL 93, and UAL 175, is believed by their friends and families to be dead now, right? In your scenario, are they alive? Do their friends and families know they're alive? (If so, the number of people who must keep silent has just multiplied.) Do they have new names/identities? Do the planners trust that none of them as long as they live will ever run into anyone they once knew, or at least anyone they once knew who heard they "died" on 9/11? Do the planners trust that none of them will come forward and "spill the beans" about 9/11, providing irrefutable proof to the world that 9/11 was a cynical inside job? Do the planners kill all the participating passengers after the fact to prevent these possibilities? Are the passengers naive enough to cooperate anyway, never suspecting that their lives will be sacrificed?
I don't see a way around these seemingly-insurmountable problems. Maybe I'm just obtuse; please help me out if you can. |

Exactly - hence it's handy to have a trollop with a 'photo that happens to show just that. Qui bono?

It's not much of an unknown - the military have been doing it for *years*. One of the Kennedeys died as a test pilot in the 40's testing this shit out. They use it all the time in big, converted planes all the way down to drones which they've had for years. No problem with this tech, believe me.

The filghts all went near narrow corridors of blank in the RADAR coverage, this also happens to be standard procedure to do hand-offs while fooling RADARs.

Dead dead dead. Deader'n'disco, baby. And, not I don't think they're all working for the government.

He must not have been remote enough from the plane. |

The public when they find this evidence sitting in plain sight?
I still don't get the big operational advantage of doing the plane swap. If they're going to crash commercial aircraft with remote-control anyway, why bother to swap the planes?
Rumpl suggested one reason -- that the empty aircraft can be more easily/carefully set up for remote control than the ones that are carrying passengers every day. However, this advantage would seem to be offset by the complications of secretly landing the swapped-out planes and then...doing what with them?
Not saying it's impossible, but it has to be explained somehow, and I doubt it would wind up being simpler than just using the real planes and the real passengers, so nothing has to be faked or switched -- only whatever's necessary to enable remote control. |

IIRC, it was an early system, and I think he was in a normal 'plane that was flying alongside it. Prolly short-range radio shit, in thems days, or something.

Something else that mitigates against passangers in another flight, the Pentagon flight, was that immediately and for days thereafter civilian firefighters poured water onto what was supposed to be a jet-fuel fire with possibly trapped victims in the rubble. Some have reckoned that the firefighters, knowing this, saw no bodies at all.
Occam's razor is a handy tool, it cannot be denied - but I think that it's usefulness is blinding sometimes, coz is it so good a lot of the time.
I don't think that Ocamm's razor should be used too deeply when considering the details of potential PsyOp and black operations. These guys are good at what they do - who knows why they do things as they do? Only they do. With malice aforethought.
Like when it is said, "Wouldn't it just be easier to..." - well no, not with these guys if they have reason to make it so. Wheels within wheels...

C.

Do you have sources for this? You mentioned it on the "Pentagon - Overview" thread, too. I've never heard it, and would be curious to learn more, if you can back it up.

Occam's razor may have its limits, but I'll take it over circular reasoning any day. You can imagine "them" doing just about anything, but that doesn't make it true. Nor helpful, if there's an easier way "they" could have done it, and no evidence (or compelling reason) to suggest otherwise.
If there's contradictory or anomalous evidence, sure, follow it, and imagine other scenarios (besides the "simplest" one) to accomodate it. But by doing this, you're actually still using Occam's razor, you're just trying to accomodate more evidence.
The danger of Occam's razor is perhaps when it is used to ignore or discredit evidence. "Americans wouldn't kill 'their own' people, right? And besides, how could a conspiracy be kept secret? It would have to be so complicated and so unlikely; Occam's razor would prevent it; therefore the war-games scheduling was a fluke, the fighter jets would have intercepted the planes if they could have, Bush wouldn't have stayed in the elementary school if there was any chance the terrorists would know his location", et cetera. Obviously this is flawed reasoning, though it pretends to use Occam's razor, and it yields demonstrably false conclusions. But I think in the hands of humble, intelligent, open-minded individuals, Occam's razor is more likely to prevent self-deception than enable it.
$0.02.

Yes, I have a source for this and can back it up so you can learn more.

Thanks. Why don't you repost that in the Pentagon thread? You might consider also quoting or summarizing the important points (I see it's very long  ).
You were probably planning to do this anyway; forgive me for suggesting the obvious. |

It is, but it's very well footnoted and sourced, and there's another part to it, written later with updates, that's almost as long...

My analysis of Val McClathey's photo of the alleged Shanksville crash made the news at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
[SNIP]
Overall I think this article was mostly accurate and I'm thrilled it made the mainstream news. However I do want to comment on a few things in the article to clear some things up:

Just so everyone understands, I handed that issue off to Killtown. He's the one with the oft-visited website and blog, and I'm just a bystander now. 
Here's his first blog on it, mentioning my initial work:
http://killtown.blogspot.com/2006/07/val-mcclatchey-photo-more-smoking-guns.html
The downside of this possibly increasing notoriety is that he and I were in the process of investigating the reports from some locals that the strip mine had been "filled in" with fresh earth as late as July or August 2001. That in itself would prove little, outside of providing a perfect timetable in which the govt could have planted that "crash evidence" they pulled out of it after the alleged crash.
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5459/522/1600/debris.93.engine.jpg
He credited me in his original blog as the guy who did the initial investigation of the photo. Killtown has more resources and time to put into this, plus I'm quite willing to get the ball rolling and then stay out of the spotlight.
Huddling and trembling in my heavily-fortified rec room.

Probably. But this issue of the McClatchey Photo isn't really all that critical to any investigation, IMO. If this woman faked this photo, it really doesn't incriminate the gove't directly. Obviously, who else would have put her up to it, in commonnsense terms.
But I believe this is why Fintan moved this from the Flight 93 Investigation thread in the first place, because it's not nuts and bolts of the evidence discussion. It's peripheral to that.
Any photo fakery that's eventually proven is simply a tool that could be used to throw gas on the fire of the 'official story.' For whomever somehow still needs to fan those flames.

Btw, this issue is supposedly going to be covered tonight on WingTV's broadcast.
I'm unsure as to how to feel about this.
Sorry for all the caffeine-laced posts in a row.
