Today is the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The 9/11 Truth Movement is, by far, the most prominent and successful and effective challenge to State lies in human history, although the U.S. Media completely ignores it.
The fanfare has begun, and I am startled to see what they have come up with this morning. They are claiming that a pair of Air Force pilots went on a suicde mission, in which they were going to ram their planes into United 93 to stop the terrorists. One of those two pilots, a female, Heather Penney, has become the face of it.
If you watch this video, you'll hear that "she was asked to give her life for her country." https://abcnews.go.com/US/video/remembering-911-fighter-pilot-suicide-mission-flight-93-79908880
But then, when she tells it, it sounds more like she and the other pilot weren't asked, that it was their own decision.
"She went to arm her aircraft, but there wasn't enough time. She and another pilot, Marc Sasseville, had to get in the air.
"We did not have missiles. We were on a suicide mission. And in order to be able to take any airliner down, Sass would ram his aircraft into the cockpit where the terrorists were, to destroy the flight controls," she explained. "I would take the tail by ramming my jet into the tail of the aircraft, I would aerodynamically unbalance the airplane and tip it over so it would crash straight into the ground by targeting both ends of the aircraft. It was our plan to prevent any additional casualties."
RC: Prevent any additional casualties? What about the crew and passengers on the plane? Wouldn't they count as casualties?
First, the U.S. Military has never sanctioned suicide missions. That is a Taliban thing, for Christ's sake! And of course, the Japanese did it in World War 2 with their Kamikazi missions.
The other pilot was Marc Sasseville, and he was just as vague about whether he was ordered to do it.
In this telling of it, it was entirely their idea.https://people.com/celebrity/911-f-16-pilot-marc-sasseville-was-prepared-for-kamikaze-mission/
In this telling, it was entirely his idea, where he just told her "to get her butt up there." So, that's how he got her to go on a suicide mission? No solemn, heavy, weighing of the matter, but just a quick, "Get your butt up there." ? That's all there was to it? Are you buying that?

But then, in this telling of it, it sounds like he was ordered, in so many words, to do it.
"We had gotten a call from the White House Joint Operations Center, and they could see the picture," Sasseville said. "They knew that Flight 93 had turned back. And they had basically asked if we had any airplanes that could go up the river." It made perfect sense what they were being asked to do, Sasseville said.
That is poorly worded because it changes abruptly from first person to third. But, "they" refers to Sasseville and Penney, and somehow "going up the river" was code for: crash your planes into United 93 and kill everyone aboard and yourselves. There is no other way to read it.
I say this is a pile of horse shit, and I call on everyone to reject it. Not only has the U.S. Military not had a policy of suicide missions, but, the United States is not Afghanistan. Obviously, there are suicides in this country, but our culture does not embrace suicide. We don't celebrate it. We don't promise anyone dates and virgins if they do it. And that applies within the Military as well. Culturally, we value life. We value the life of the individual.
Heather Penney was 27 years old in 2001, and she was still a rookie pilot. There is no reason to think she had given any thought whatsoever to suicide, and the idea that she would settle into doing it, in an instant, because this guy told her to get her butt up there is preposterous. People don't decide to kill themselves on that basis. It takes time to overcome the internal revulsion to it. And especially in a 27 year old. She had a life and loved ones. She wasn't a combat pilot. She was a rookie in training. And the very idea that the United States government would send a 27 year old woman on a suicide mission is insane. If anything, we would send a man. Remember for how long that there were no women in the Military, period. And then it became that there were women in the Military but not in combat roles. She was in training as a fighter pilot, but she was never in combat. It would be a very heavy decision to send anyone on such a mission. But to send a 27 year old woman? And by way of a guy telling her to get her butt up there so that they could die?
Surely, if there were going to be a suicide mission, it would involve soliciting volunteers. No way would the Military just order someone, "You go die now. That's an order."
So, how could Marc Sasseville just assume that Heather Penney was willing to die? And how could he treat the matter of her dying so flippantly, as in:
Normally, preflight preparation for F-16 fighter jets takes a half-hour, allowing pilots to methodically work through a checklist. Being a rookie, Penney’s only combat experience was in training. As they ran out to their planes, she started going through the checklist. Sasseville stopped her and barked, “Lucky, what are you doing? Get your butt up there and let’s go!” She quickly climbed into her cockpit. As she powered up the engines, she shouted to the ground crew to pull the chock blocks holding the wheels.
Men protect women. In the Military, men protect women. They also rape women, and there has been an awful lot of that in the Military. But, when it comes to war and combat, a male soldier will always seek to protect a woman. And a man would NEVER be presumptuous about a woman sacrificing her life. And he would never treat the matter as glibly and crudely as "Get your butt up there." We are talking about dying here, and people don't trivialize dying that way.
But, here is another version of it by Heather, and it doesn't include anything about her butt. According to her:
Sass's locker was just three down from mine. And I'm trying to go through "Okay, don't forget anything. Okay, got my helmet, I got my lineup card, I got my DTC, I've got my harness," and I was zipping up my G-suit When Sass looked at me and says: "I'll take the cockpit," meaning that he would ram his aircraft into the cockpit of the airliner if we found it. And I would take the tail.
Nobody talks around suicide. He wouldn't just say to a 27 year old woman, "I'll take the cockpit" with the assumption that she's going to understand from that that she is supposed to crash her plane into the tail and die.
You can read the whole interview if you want. I'm thinking she was pretty nervous because she talked too much. She concluded by saying that anyone, meaning any American, would have done it, been willing to commit suicide after seeing what happened on 9/11. Is she kidding? Does she really believe that? That everyone watching the smoldering towers was thinking, "If only I could give my life..." More horse shit. I was watching it on tv, and at the time, I didn't know what to think. I wasn't a 9/11 truther at the time, as I am now. But, I never once had the thought, "If only I could give my life..." You think I'm alone?

Heather Penney has a husband and two daughters. I don't know if she was married in 2001, or if she had kids yet. But, even if she didn't have kids yet, she was a woman of child-bearing age, and the idea of her destroying not only herself but her future children certainly would have weighed on her, heavily. The idea that she could so easily and quickly accept death and negate the whole future she had planned for herself, including children, just because a guy told her to get her butt on a plane, or because he told her that he'd take the cockpit, like they were playing basketball and he was going to guard somebody- this is not how people talk about ending their lives.
Now, please remember that the whole God-damn story is horse shit! United 93 never crashed at that spot in Pennsylvania to get swallowed by the Earth leaving nothing but skid marks and a hole. It's insane to believe such a thing.
And you should adamantly refuse to believe this bull shit story about these would-be American Kamikazis. To me, it is the icing on the cake of the whole fucking 9/11 lie.
