757 impact proponents are quite fond of regurgitating mainstream media reports with zero research, analysis, confirmation, or investigation.
Considering that 9/11 was a psychological attack with the media being the weapon of choice this is inherently suicide in the pursuit of truth.
Typically the same lists are published over and over by people like Jim Hoffman, Eric Bart, and most recently Arabasque.
CIT has shown you
why we can't trust a lot of these
suspect witnesses and why it's so important to seek out
previously unknown witnesses if we want to find the real truth.
Due to the
north of the citgo evidence we focus a lot of attention on the
light poles and see them as the key physical evidence proving an outright
deception on 9/11.
So this thread is meant to examine all known witnesses who allegedly saw the light poles get hit.
Of the known alleged light pole witnesses Stephen McGraw, Joel Sucherman, Chad Brooks, and Mike Walter have all personally confirmed with us that
they did NOT see the light poles get hit and only deduced it from seeing them on the road.
Arabasque has the most comprehensive list of alleged light pole witnesses with a total of 22. Scroll down to the part that says
"
Witnesses described the plane hitting lamp poles and
objects". (he says "and objects" because a few describe things that were not hit at all.)
CIT has pointed out errors to him in the past that he has refused to correct and we have always maintained that there is only ONE previously published
account where the witness is quoted specifically claiming that she literally "saw" the light poles get hit by the plane.
I will now address each of the witnesses he presents in order to explain how the information Arabasque asserts is false and downright deceptive in how
it is presented.
1. “It was very, very low -- at the height of the street lights. It knocked a couple down.”[387]
Mark Bright. Pentagon police officer who was at the guard shack. Does NOT claim to have witnessed the impact OR the plane hitting the poles.
Mentioning the downed poles is not the same as seeing the plane hit them.
2. “He said the craft clipped a utility pole guide wire.”[388]
Utility pole guide wire? He does not claim to have seen the plane hit any light poles and no "guide wire" was hit. In fact he is not even
quoted about this but he IS quoted seeing the plane "bank" which contradicts the official flight path and SUPPORTS the north side flight path.
Arabasque is 0 for 2.
3. “Penny Elgas stopped as she saw a passenger jet descend, clip a light pole near her.”[389]
Penny also does not claim to have seen the plane hit the poles. Arabasque is not quoting Penny. Why is he deceptively attributing this quote to
Penny in his analysis? He is 0 for 3.
4. “The plane approached the Pentagon… clipping a light pole, a car antenna… It clipped a couple of light poles on the way in.”[390]
Lee Evey was the Pentagon renovation manager. He was not a witness to the plane, the attack, or the light poles. He was at home at the time of
the attack. This is EXACTLY why Arabasque's "research" is so damaging. He does ZERO fact checking and simply copies and pastes words provided for
him by the complicit mainstream media. We have pointed this fact out to him in this
thread and he even acknowledged it and promised to correct his mistakes in
this post over 4 months ago! That means he is knowingly pushing
disinfo which is an assault on truth and a slap in the face to real researchers.
5. “Next to me was a cab from D.C., its windshield smashed out by pieces of lampposts.”[391]
Don Fortunato. Nobody denies the cab and pole were on the road. Don does not claim he saw the plane hit the pole, the pole sticking out of the
windshield of the cab OR the cab driver removing the pole. He is 0 for 5.
6. “[she saw] a low-flying jetliner strike the top of nearby telephone poles.”[392]
Kat Gaines was on 110 and would not be able to physically see the plane hit the poles. Once again Arabasque is not quoting Kat Gaines. Without a
direct quote AND confirmation of that quote he is not citing evidence but citing mainstream media deceptions. Besides....no "telephone poles" were
downed at all. He is 0 for 6.
7. “It hit some lampposts on the way in.”[393]
Afework Hagos is not claiming to have SEEN the light poles get hit. We can't find a trace of this person existing at all but
regardless.....simply mentioning the poles is NOT evidence that they literally saw the plane hit the poles. We know that a lot of people saw the poles
on the ground and deduced that they were hit. He is 0 for 7.
8. “[the [plane flew] over Ft Myer picking off trees and light poles near the helicopter pad next to building.”[394]
Like Lee Evey, Tom Hovis is not a witness, he was in his office...8 miles away from the Pentagon. He was not present during the attack. He was
reciting what he believed he learned about the flight path of the plane. Once again Arabasque has proven how inaccurate the disinformation is that he
is publishing online.
9. “[he watched the plane clip] the antenna of the vehicle immediately behind him. It also struck three light poles between him and the
building.”[395]
Don Mason was a Pentagon Renovation worker that is one of 3 PenRen workers cited in the ASCE report. Because of this he is a VERY suspect witness
but once again.....he is not even quoting Don Mason. And even still...the mainstream media reporter Arabaque is quoting STILL doesn't say that he
"saw" the plane hit the poles. He is 0 for 9.
10. “The plane clipped the top of a light pole just before it got to us, injuring a taxi driver, whose taxi was just a few feet away from my
car.”[396]
Arabasque KNOWS that we did an interview with opus dei influenced priest Stephen McGraw. He KNOWS that we have posted this entire
interview online for the entire world to see. He KNOWS that McGraw
specifically told us and the world that he did NOT see the plane hit the poles despite the fact that he was allegedly right in front of them.
Therefore Arabasque is once again caught deliberately disseminating disinformation in support of the official story. How can he do something so
malicious and harmful to truth?
11. “I saw debris flying. I guess it was hitting light poles.”[397]
Do I even have to address this? Kirk Milburn was not in a position to see the poles and he does not even claim to have seen them. We spoke with
his son who told us that Kirk died in a motorcycle accident a couple years ago.
12. “As the aircraft approached the Pentagon, I saw a minor flash (later found out that the aircraft had sheared off a portion of a highway light
pole down on Hwy 110.”[398]
Terry Morin was at the Navy Annex parking lot where you CAN NOT see route 27 or the light poles. You can't even see the Pentagon due to the
steep decline. He does not even claim to have seen the light pole get hit. Arabasque is 0 for 12
13. “The tail of the plane clipped the overhanging exit sign above me.”[399]
Vin was one of the reporters in the USA Today Parade. No "overhanging exit
sign" was hit and he does not claim to see the plane hit any poles.
14. “Street lights toppled as the plane barely cleared the Interstate 395 overpass.”[400]
Mary Ann Ownes is also part of the USA Today/Gannett Parade. She is not claiming to have "seen" the poles get hit by the plane. He is 0 for
14.
15. “On either side of him, three streetlights had been sheared in half by the airliner’s wings at 12 to 15 feet above the ground. An engine had
clipped the antenna off a Jeep Grand Cherokee stalled in traffic not far away.”
Where is his source for this one? Who said this? Whoever it was it sure wasn't a witness because they are talking about it in 3rd person. This
is not a witness account at all. He is 0 for 15.
16. “I saw the wing of the plane clip the light post, and it made the plane slant.”[401]
Here is the one account. Wanda Ramey. She is the ONE known witness who is directly quoted as having "seen" the plane hit the poles. She is or
was a Pentagon police officer just like Chad Brooks. Chad had also said in the past that he saw the plane hit the poles. When we interviewed him he
clarified and said that he didn't actually see it happen but simply saw the poles on the ground after the fact. No doubt Wanda is also deducing this
and simply honestly embellishing her account just like Chad did. Since she is the ONLY one to specifically make this claim and since we have directly
spoken with so many others who specifically say that they didn't see the poles get hit it is a fair assumption on our part to make. We are still
trying to get a hold of her for direct clarification. Nonetheless she is the only one. He is 1 for 16.
17. “It knocked over a few light poles in its way…”[402]
Steve Riskus does not claim to have seen the plane hit the poles.
18. “[It] struck a light pole…The plane tried to recover, but hit a second light pole and continued flying at an angle.”[403]
I'll admit Noel Sepulveda sounds like he is claiming he saw the plane hit the poles. But he does NOT specifically state it and he may be relaying
what he was told. This is why first-hand confirmation is so important. Plus it allegedly hit 5 poles not 2. Is it really possible for the
plane to "try to recover" at over 500mph? If any of the 5 poles really affected the flight of the plane that would have been devastating and there
is no way it would have hit with such perfect precision so low and level and fast to the ground as depicted in the security video. There is a lot of
reason to doubt the legitimacy of this account and we were not able to find him for verification.
19. “There were light poles down.”[404]
Once again, Joel Sucherman DOES NOT claim to have seen the poles get hit, is a USA Today Editor, AND we interviewed him in his office at Gannett.
He specifically told us that he did not see the plane hit the poles. That is the type of effort it takes to find the truth. Why does Arabasque
refuse to confirm his research and insist on spreading information that has been PROVEN to be incorrect even though he is fully aware of it? How can
he not see how harmful that is?
20. “It turned and came around in front of the vehicle and it clipped one of these light poles…”[405]
Once again....does not claim to have seen the poles hit. We had dinner at Mike Walter's house. He also specifically told us that he did NOT see
the plane hit the poles.
21. “The plane was flying low and rapidly descended, knocking over light poles.”[406]
Rodney Washington is not claiming that he saw the plane hit the poles. You can not take an unconfirmed statement out of context and assume he is
saying what you want him to say. He is simply relaying what he believes the plane to have done.
22. “I saw it clip a light pole.”[407]
Uh-huh. Here is the "Unnamed Navy admiral". Real detailed account isn't it? That is not a witness with a name and so this is not valid
evidence.
So......just as I stated; there is only ONE witness who states she saw the plane hit a pole.
Out of all these, many have ADMITTED they didn't see the plane hit the poles and many aren't even witnesses to the event at all and only 1 claims
she saw the plane hit a pole. It's clear this is NOT evidence strong enough to counter the rock solid north of the citgo testimony that is
independently corroborated 6 times and directly refuted by
NOBODY proving the plane did not hit the poles.
First-hand confirmation of ALL witness accounts is key.
Never trust the mainstream media but PARTICULARLY in regards to 9/11.
