   Larry: from Kirkwood, MO….Brad, lately people are now coming out with books about their discontent and dissatisfaction or manipulation by the government. Has Mr. Farmer voiced his issues about these things when they were going on?

   Thanks for the obit on Jim white. I second the motion.

   Brad-the last thing farmer said was a LIE! There were NO planes in PA or at the pentagon. No plane could have flown as low as to hit the pentaon at ground level. He’s a liar!

   Congressman Joe “You Lie” Wilson voted in 2003 for a bill that gave health care to illegal immigrants.

   Joe “You Lie” Wilson Voted To Give Tax Dollars To Illegals For Health Care
   September 11th, 2009, 10:50 PM EDT

   The vote came on the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, which contained Sec. 1011 authorizing $250,000 annually between 2003 and 2008 for government reimbursements to hospitals who provide treatment for uninsured illegal immigrants. The program has been extended through 2009 and there is currently a bipartisan bill in Congress to make it permanent.

   And whether the anti-reform anti-immigrant crowd likes it or not, hospital emergency rooms will continue to be where they go for help. Are we going to deny medical care suffering people, many of whom work here and pay taxes?

   Hospitals have a legal obligation to treat everyone who comes in seeking care, regardless of citizenship status, insurance or other characteristics. This means that hospitals treat millions of people every year who don’t have the means to pay. Obviously, this drives up the nation’s healthcare costs overall. Section 1011 helps cushion the costs for hospitals, but it’s not nearly enough to cover the actual costs in most areas.

   Of course, Wilson was wrong, as are those who continue to claim that the health care bill allows taxpayer dollars to pay of illegal immigrants’ health care.

   Let’s honor the victims of 911, including firefighters by listening to what the firefighters who were there that day and survived. What did they experience?

   “all the way around like a belt, all these explosions”

   “a tremendous explosion and tremendous shaking of our building”

   “you saw the one floor explode”

   “like on television they blow up these buildings”¦”

   “flash flash flash”

   “boom, boom, boom, boom”

   “shook my bones”

   “sucked all the oxygen out of the air”

   “like someone had planted explosives”

   “like a million firecrackers”

   “every floor went chu-chu-chu”

   “like it was a timed explosion”

   “boom, a massive explosion”

   “whole top came off like a volcano”

   “a very, very tremendous explosion”

   “the way it looks when they show you those implosions on TV”

   “a giant, giant explosion”

   “in my mind it was a bomb”

   “a synchronized deliberate kind of thing”

   “I just went flying, maybe 30, 40 feet”

   ” like shrapnel”

   “everything shook”

   “ever see professional demolition?”

   “pop, pop, pop, pop, pop”

   “like bombs going off, like boom, boom, boom”

   “and then just a huge wind”

   “the sound was deafening”

   “the street was bouncing like a trampoline”

   “huge mushroom cloud”

   “horrendous noise”

   “what the hell blew up?”

   “my ears were like deaf”¦”

   “they sounded like bombs”

   Also, the numerous physicists and architects and structural engineers that have studied tirelessly that have had published in a prestigous physics journal the irrefutable evidnence in mass all around NYC, a military grades explosive material, much of which is unactivated, called nano-thermite. Let’s honor the work they have done, for the country, by scrutinizing all with complete objectivity. Below is the paper.

   Share these things if you can.

   I ordered the book but cancelled based on the author’s apologist attitude. The failures on 9/11 are inexcusable.

   I have an observation about President Bush’s reactions on 911. I like him am a veteran of the Air Defense Command. I fufilled my duty and later went to Viet Nam. His Air National Guard unit and my Air Force unit mission was to intercept stray aircraft that are not responding to air traffic control. Lieutenant Bush left for Maxwell AFB after basic flight training, see the Dan Rather 60 Minutes Report. He never pulled any alert duty that intercepted stray aircraft. Ironicly after leaving the school in Florida he went and hid at Maxwell AFB in Air Force One. At no time did he contact the Air Defense Command. If he performed his duty as interceptor pilot he may have had the same reaction as I did Get Me the Air Defense on the horn now!

    Why does Mr. Farmer first say he saw the tapes from the pentagon but then say he didn’t see the plane hit the building? Surely one of the 86 or so cameras in the area was pointed at the Pentagon on that side. So I guess he didn’t see all of them. But why not show him the one in which the plane hit’s the Pentagon. Wouldn’t that be the most important one? I don’t have my mind made up about whether it did or didn’t hit but isn’t it very suspicious that they wouldn’t show such a thing to a 911 commissioner?

    It is not “the right vs. America”… There is no right or left in DC. Lobbyists rule DC and install everyone who is in office at the behest of special interests; the bought and paid for politicians then patronize the American people by purporting to be left or right. They then do the bidding of the lobbyists who installed them. There is no practical left or right.

    Well, I see the Truthers have their panties all knotted up over this interview, which means I will be linking it. I think Farmer overstates the revelations in his book (the Vanity Fair NORAD tapes article from three years ago contains the same information on the lies from the government about their response), but I am definitely looking forward to reading the book based on this interview. Great job!

    Here are my comments from 911Blogger.com

    I have a problem with this statement…

    “The authorization to intercept, and potentially shoot down planes came from the national command structure, from the President and Vice President…”

    From everything I have heard, intercepts can take place without the President and Vice President’s authorization.

    I see Farmer as “damage control.”

    When I hear someone highlight the criminality of Sandy Berger (like Glenn Beck did recently), I think of a Bush apologist trying to place the blame for 9/11 on Clinton (like that’s NEVER happened before).

    Simuvac says Farmer calls Clarke a liar. ANOTHER indication that he is a Bush apologist, etc… etc…

    9/11 Truth is a non-partisan issue. PERIOD.

    He never heard of the $100k wire transfer? HA!

    As I pointed out to someone recently, John Farmer recently appeared before Sen. Patrick Leahy’s panel to discuss the Truth Commission, and he was an advocate for making it like the 9/11 Commission.

    “The commission should be independent and nonpartisan in composition. Bipartisan commissions can reach nonpartisan results; the 9/11 Commission, under the leadership of Governor Kean and Congressman Hamilton, succeeded in that respect.”

    Another indication is that some idiot somewhere “cannot recommend this interview highly enough.”

    End comments…

    Good job Brad.

    I see Farmer just as Jon Gold sees him. He is an extremely limited hangout. In my opinion, he is part of the coverup.

    Mike Farmer – disinfo agent! When he replied about the FBI visiting flight schools etc. so quickly because they read the passenger manifests – I call BS! the hijackers weren’t even
    ON the passenger lists!
    One lie like that and I think we can safely throw out EVERYTHING Mr. Farmer said.

    “BF- Thanks, Keith. Yeah, and did you get to look at those tapes from the Pentagon, John?

    JF- Yes, we did, and- and, uh, I know there’s been a lot of speculation about, um, about, you know- w-whether a plane actually hit the Pentagon- I can assure you that it did. And, um, and they were actually able to reconstruct, uhh, uh, large components of the plane, ”

    But … on second thought … he didn’t really see any video …

    “BF- OK, and just to be clear, ’cause we’re hittin’ the clock here, John- you have seen ‘tapes’ of a plane hitting the Pentagon?

    JF- Well, uh, no I haven’t seen tapes- pictures of a plane actually hitting the Pentagon, but there were eyewitness accounts, uh and as I said, there were- there were- pictures of a plane in the vicinity- ”

    This is so disturbing. The guy who has the inside scoop says he saw the videos and photos of a plane hitting the Pentagon, but then recants, dancing past his earlier statement to highlight eye witness accounts?

    Wouldn’t objective photos trump subjective eye witness accounts?

    He says the official story was “almost entirely and inexplicably untrue” but then in his interview he defends anyone who should be responsible, and the official story.

    How can you rely on what he says?
