Pentagon Attack Cab Driver Lloyde England's Virtual Confession
http://www.911blogger.com/node/20035

I'm surprised and disappointed that 911blogger.com would feature this headline and the accompanying video without any kind of critical editorial comment whatsoever. I had thought the site to be one of the few 9/11 news sites with somewhat higher standards than average - certainly not one that would blithely publish such an accusation against a victim of the Pentagon attack who almost lost his life that day.

It's a display that is not only painfully embarrassing but downright nauseating:

The highly ambiguous and craftily edited words of a not-so-lucid elderly cab driver - recorded on hidden camera - are presented as a "virtual confession" of complicity in the 9/11 false flag attack. This material is then seized upon by zealous believers who herald it as a smoking gun and imply that anyone challenging it is part of a disinformation campaign against the so-called Citizens Investigation Team.

I'm not sure why this is allowed to take place at 911Blogger but I hope the people that run the site quickly regain their senses, reclaim their standards and refuse to assist shady operations like CIT in their attempts to drag the truth movement into the gutter and down the drain.

Just look at the evidence. The facts speak for themselves. They have no context. You can't analyze them. They can't be influenced or misrepresented. They talk and you listen.

We're talking about the witnesses. They speak for themselves. They have no context. You can't analyze them. They can't be influenced or misrepresented. They talk and you listen.

And the people who started CIT, they speak for themselves. They have no context. You can't analyze them. They can't be influenced or misrepresented. They talk and you listen.

Kind of like God. Confused

CIT offers the 9/11 truth movement NO benefit. NONE!! And they do a great deal of damage, naively or not. And that's not just one person's opinion. I'd assume that opinion is shared openly or privately by most of the older, more educated, more experienced people in the movement. Those who have spoken out are not people we suspect of otherwise trying to undermine the movement in any way.

So if you happen to be a fan or supportive of their efforts, and refuse to question their results, understand that you are ignoring the opinions of a lot of knowledgable and committed people. People who don't have some kind of knee jerk bias against what they present. People who have payed attention and come away with experience that is mutually confirmed.

CIT is dishonest, unscientific, and downright shady. In my opinion, including them in any way is a bow to the big tent strategy, a race to the bottom, and hurts the movement.

If you disagree, please try to figure out what possible motivation beyond promoting fact and good strategy someone like me might have to be saying these things. I'm really not trying to waste my time or yours.

This is very disappointing. Maybe the folks at 911blogger need a vacation.

It is clear that CIT's goal is to be divisive, not investigate 9/11. The Pentagon-Honey-Pot-Conspiracy-Porn PsyOp can be easily resolved by the Pentagon releasing the many tapes it has of the event. Period. If all of this energy was focused on that, instead of these carefully-crafted dead ends that are managed by obnoxious, fake truthers with obviously too much time on their hands, then perhaps getting at some real evidence could be a reality.

Why is 911blogger playing directly into their hands?

Unfortunately, 911blogger has little in the way of standards. It allows a lot of hoax-related posts onto it's website. Think of it like a Wiki-blog.

Of course, as always, CIT had it wrong again.

Sheila, I see our pro-CIT comments are getting voted down by those who desperately want to stifle discussion of this important topic.

I don't think this is fair. I think Rep has done a good job overall. It's not like some blog post automatically equals endorsement by the site (or its admins). We have this problem here all the time when someone creates a controversial post and it is automatically attributed to anyone and everyone who has ever clicked on the website.

Thanks for posting this.

Reasonable debates about what happened at the Pentagon should never be out of bounds, but manipulative and ridiculous work such CIT's work should be. There is a reason that many people stepped in to expose them when their work came out -- their claims are baseless, false or weak, and their interactions with others are aggressive, rude and relentless.

This has been well documented by Arabesque. I recommend that anyone who does not know the history of CIT read the experiences and documentation that Arabesque has provided.

Here, Arabesque documents how Ranke chose to provide gossip to a reporter who wanted to interview them for a hit piece --

CIT "Happy to Oblige" when Asked to Provide "Gossip" to Future Author of Hit Piece Against the 9/11 Truth Movement

There's so much more . . .

I don't think your characterization above is accurate. First of all, if there is something objectionable on the TruthMove forum that appears to stand without moderator comment I consider that my responsibility. And especially so if we are talking about the subject of a whole thread. If someone posted a thread over there supporting false speculation it would either be immediately deleted, or if the poster seemed simply unaware of the problem, they would be immediately informed about it.

Second, Rep knows full well what many of us think about CIT and why. And that's from direct communication. I give Rep all due credit for apparently giving Barrett and Ranke the boot in the last year. Whatever you think of their actions, they are rotten people to argue with. And we've also seen less if any promotion of these people's pet theories. But this week, out of the blue, there are two posts about CIT.

Who does this benefit? You might make a fairly effective argument that it's best to aggregate all news and let us sort it out. That would at least seem logical. But anyone in the movement would be foolish to operate that way. False and distracting lines of inquiry can simply be taken off the table. Those who know should be sending a message to others that this movement needs to be focused on the best we have to offer.

Finally, I don't think that being critical of Rep on this issue signifies total disrespect or that we should feel like disagreement equals disloyalty or some such nonsense. 911Blogger is one of the biggest 9/11 truth related websites. We all have a vested interest in how it operates. And as the weight of the movement in involved, Rep need to be ready to handle some very heavy criticism about some of his choices.

wow,I am stunned. I didn't know there was this kind of hatred and mistrust toward CIT. Lloyd didn't have to accept their requests for interviews, especially the 2nd time. He then welcomed CIT into his home, they didn't bully their way into his house.

You tell me you believe that a 250 lb pole was lifted out of that car by an elderly man and a mysteriously silent passerby? You tell me the FDR info that P4911truth is a fraud that proved the impossibility of a plane hitting the light poles?

You're telling me all those CIT on location eye witnesses including Pentagon sargeant cops are lying?

Who cares about their methods? When they set out to do this investigating by flying from California to Virginia/D.C. out of their own pockets, do you think they had some kind of money making agenda on their hands? I doubt their even recouping all of what they spent.

I don't understand the hatred? Maybe someone can explain it more clearly to me?

Thanks!

I find your mischaracterization of our concerns as hatred to be entirely anti-intellectual. There is nothing about my interest in 9/11 truth that involves hatred. I think some people are naive. I think some people are infiltrators. I think some people treat this like it's a hobby. But I don't hate any of them.

I don't hate Craig Ranke. In fact I think he's a distant relative of mine. But I do think he's a opportunist or getting paid. Just my personal opinion there. Not really any use to anyone. More important than my personal opinion will always be how factual is the information he is presenting and whether or not it benefits the movement.

So, why are you defending him and CIT? I could turn this around and just as easily ask you why you are so in love with CIT. But that would be just as silly.

If you think that CIT benefits the movement in any way, you are misguided and may not know enough about good movement strategy. Yes, I am suggesting that you might be naive. You can either get angry about it or learn more.

And all those articles by Arabesque above are a good starting place. If you read those and still can't tell that CIT is full of shit, then I have absolutely no need to waste time talking about it with you.

Here's a question, why is it that no one and I mean NO ONE in the movement who I trust or whose intellect I respect tries to actively defend CIT?

Actually, methods matter, and that's why all scientific research and experimentation follows a basic principle called the scientific method, where the methods of reaching the conclusions that are reached are carefully documented. Without methods, there is no way to know how conclusions were reached or to critique them.

If you're writing fiction, you don't need methods. That seems to be the case here.

ok, hatred was the wrong word. I guess, disagreement with. I am not associated with CIT. I just learned about this disagreement with their investigations from this forum itself. I already knew about some of their detractors on another forum, but their are always people who don't agree. There are some that don't like what Steve Jones is doing.Or Alex Jones.Or Loose Change guys.Or A&E for truth's Mr. Gage, and so on and so on.
I've watched all their films in full and several times. I don't see too much to debunk. I have been critical of the CIT angle on Shanksville a bit..such as one of their female witnesses seemingly to be acting in one of her interviews.So,I am not in love with all angles of the CIT stuff, but on the most part, they seem to of done an excellent job in my eyes.

I am just a firefighter who looks at all aspects of the 9/11 issue. CIT is just another one of many. Seems like most of the comments on 911blogger favors CIT's findings.

Too right it was. That disagreement = hater bollox was old and tired before Killtown ran it into the ground. Now it's just become a flag for someone trying to start shite. So it's good you see that's not an honest, fair or productive frame.

Search the forum for CIT. They catagorically refused to agree to disagree and behaved like smarmy little gits the entire time they were here.

Please. Their theories are doubtful, but their attitude bothers me more--it was inexcusable.

Don't let that stop you. God, I'm starting to think all Craigs are bottom feeding, lowlife whores.
