HOW CIT GOT LLOYDE'S STORY TRAGICALLY WRONG
What I saw in the CIT videos from oh-so-long ago was an old man being bullied by a couple of young punks and I immediately sympathized with him.
This is, sadly, quite true.
But Lloyde was gracious and consistent in his responses to the haranguing he received from Aldo and Craig. He was confident that his story was true. He knew where he was, and he knew how it happened. He was unaware of other people's impressions of what had happened.
Lloyde never reacted against what was said about him by either the Official version believers, nor by those who claimed he was implicated in the crime. He just rose above it all, and ignored it, with great dignity. He constantly reiterated, in the face of Craig's unrelenting badgering that the photos showed his cab on the bridge, that he was THERE; he knew where he was WHEN IT HAPPENED.
26:18, Eye Of the Storm
Ranke: Now your car on the road, on the side of the road in this picture, was right HERE. (Points to bridge.)
Lloyde: No it wasn't.
Craig: Yeah we got pictures of it. Here it is.
Lloyde: My car is not there.
Craig: Nah, we got pictures of it.
Lloyde: No, my car was not there.
Craig: I can pull it up. I'll show you.
Lloyde: I don't care what you do. My car was at the Pentagon. My car was not across this bridge.
Craig: it was on this bridge. I'll show you the picture.
Lloyde: NO NO NO! My car was back here. (Points to cemetery retaining wall.) It was on Route, it was on 27.
Craig: I can pull up the picture. ... The car was right HERE.
Lloyde: No it wasn't.
Craig: This pole is Pole #1. It was right HERE.
Lloyde: No. This pole is beside the cemetery. The cemetery is OVER HERE.
Craig: The cemetery is yeah, it's over here.
Lloyde: THAT'S WHERE I WAS.
HERE, CRAIG VERY NEARLY "GETS IT":
Craig: All the poles that were down, if your car was over HERE (cemetery), IT WASN'T BY THE POLES, BECAUSE THE POLES are all right HERE (bridge).
THIS is the way they were, by that bridge.
Here's the first one.
This is the one they said went into your car.
Lloyde: THAT'S what THEY SAY. THAT'S NOT TRUE.
Craig: THAT'S the second one.
Lloyde: My car was down HERE (cemetery).
Craig: Well none of these poles were downed. They were all up in all the pictures.
Lloyde: REGARDLESS of what THEY SAY, I was THERE. I KNOW.
Craig: Well there's another picture of your car right HERE. That's where it was. So I can pull that up on the internet.
Lloyde: NO. NO. NO. Well the car is back HERE. I was driving it.
Lloyde then offered to take Craig there to show him exactly where the cab was at the time the pole hit it, and they drove past the cemetery wall twice, where Lloyde pointed out the precise spot.
Craig mocked Lloyde, and told him that there were no pictures taken of the cab there; they were all taken on the bridge.
However, what Craig did not know, was that lLoyde's cab WAS VIDEOED EXACTLY AT THAT LOCATION, WITH THE POLE STILL THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, 7 minutes before Ingersoll took his first photograph of it on the bridge.
As they returned from the drive by the cemetery wall where the pole hit the cab, Lloyde's final words on The Eye of the Storm, were these:
Lloyde: These signs right HERE, where I was at. This is where the pictures were taken.
Craig: No they weren't!! There's no cobblestones there.
Lloyde: I'm telling you THAT'S WHERE I WAS.
Craig: There's no cobblestones.
Lloyde: THAT'S WHERE I WAS.
Craig: There ... Those... This is the sign that you see in the images. (Looking down to bridge.)
Lloyde: I understand but THAT'S WHERE I WAS.
Craig: These are the images of the VDOT pole, the VDOT camera pole, all of that. The cobblestone bridge. That's you. You're standing right next to it.
Lloyde: I don't have a problem with that I WAS NOT DOWN HERE.
Craig: See the cobblestone?
Lloyde: I WAS NOT HERE.
Craig: That's where you were.
Lloyde: I WAS NOT HERE.
Craig: No way. All the pictures show you there.
Lloyde: I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.
Craig: They show YOU there. Not just your car but YOU.
Lloyde: I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY IT WAS.
Craig tragically interrupts here, for the nth time, so now we will never know what Lloyde was going to say.
Craig: How does that work though? How can the, all the images ... ?
Lloyde: IT'S NOT MY JOB TO TELL YOU ALL THAT.
MY JOB IS TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
Lloyde told the truth.
He was not on the bridge when a pole was fired through his windshield.
That pole did not come from any light pole, and it was not hit by any plane.
After removing the pole from the windshield, Lloyde was " Run off from" his cab by the attending police officer, and Lloyde was shortly photographed and videoed far down Route 27, on his way home on foot.
Lloyde's cab was quickly removed from the cemetery wall, and relocated onto the bridge.
Rumsfeld then sent his bodyguard to retrieve Lloyde and drive him back to the cab where he, and the police detective who had earlier pushed Lloyde to the ground to force him to leave the cab, both supervised Lloyde while the incriminating photos were taken.
