Even if there were gaps in all the channel recordings, and the same gaps, then that would still not have been possible with a real cockpit recording.
It's the speed by which those glitches happened that I wonder how it could be explained with airplane electronics in the 747. The audio was recorded on analogue tapes. So software bugs in digital audio processing and things like that can be ruled out I take it. I suspect those gaps were put in there on purpose by the perpetrators for us to discover. As evidence of fakery. They WANT it to be exposed. That's my current take. I for one haven't missed that. Have you? |

Ok, not an official source, but here is an interesting description:
"In most cases identification was accomplished through fingerprinting by an FBI team temporarily assigned to the ME, or by forensic odontology. In rare cases, the ME utilized DNA or forensic anthropology as the primary means of identification. In most cases, identification was based on more than one method." -- http://www.100megspopup.com/ark/800AutpsySumries.html How could they have had access to the victims' fingerprints? ![]() |

"Currently, there are four states—California, Colorado, Georgia, and Texas—that require finger or thumb prints as part of the drivers licensing process." -- http://www.cga.ct.gov/2001/rpt/2001-R-0858.htm (November 15, 2001)

Hmmm. Good catch. I was going off memory for that info. But there are other ways fingerprints can be obtained. All military personnel are fingerprinted. Jobs requiring a security clearance require fingerprinting. Some employers require fingerprinting. But there is still the dental records of the dead. Does France require fingerprints to get a passport? |

Depends on what they mean by primary means. Let's break down the statement: "In most cases identification was accomplished through fingerprinting by an FBI team temporarily assigned to the ME, or by forensic odontology. In rare cases, the ME utilized DNA or forensic anthropology as the primary means of identification. In most cases, identification was based on more than one method."
In RARE cases DNA was analyzed. Ok, let's exclude DNA analysis (and forensic anthropology). In MOST cases the identification was based on MORE than one method. And I interpret that as both fingerprints and dental records were used to identify most victims. If only dental records were used then that would NOT be identification based on more than one method. |

We can not discuss what type or the quantity of weapons that was on any particular boat at any particular time but we can say there never was a US submarine modified to carry or launch surface to air missiles. Fire control systems are a hodgepodge of consoles. Each weapon system required its own specially-built consoles. There never has been a generic all-purpose fire control system were you can upload new software and re-assign functions for new weapon systems. "You see that button? That button there used to launch a torpedo. Now it launches a SAM." No. It never worked like that. When my first boat was fitted for firing harpoons the primary launch console was jammed into a space forward of fire control. My publication locker outboard of fire control was removed to make room for the backup launch console. The fitting out for harpoons required 3 months to complete. |

The captain on TWA 800 was allegedly Ralph G. Kevorkian. If that would be true, then wouldn't the official reports name the captain by name? As far as I have seen, the official reports only use the term 'captain' without identifying the captain by name.

Admittedly, my new conspiracy theory is extreme. I can defend it by proposing what the purpose of blowing up an airliner empty of people would be. What was the motive? Is there a motive? Yes, there is a huge motive.
The idea goes like this: The TWA 800 event was a warming up for the 9/11 attacks. And just as the much bigger event, the TWA 800 crash was devised to get massive control over the U.S. power structure. By forcing the government, media, academia etc to do a coverup, the whole legal power structure became compromised and manipulable. A shadow cabal can blackmail the whole government again and again as long as the coverup has to be upheld. If people in position of power don't get along with the coverup, the cabal can expose it themselves with catastrophic consequences for the whole society. |

When the missile hit the plane, everybody threw their hands up in disgust thus leaving everyone's fingerprints on the cabin ceiling.
Naw, I just kidding. They recovered every plastic cup that the passengers used so had a full set of prints. Naw, just kidding. The head stewardess had an enormous set of bazooms so everyone copped a feel while loading thus the fingerprints were easy to recover. Next question. |

I don't think there was digital processing of the audio in the black boxes. They used analogue tapes. And putting a hand over the mic or something like that takes thousands of microseconds at least, not 2 microseconds. Weak mic cable, that's perhaps possible, and I have been thinking about that, but that's not something the official reports have mentioned.

Why the need to have the plane empty of people? Why not just blow up an ordinary airliner full with passengers and crew members? One reason is if the shadow cabal are not entirely like evil monsters and actually want to spare the lives of innocent people. A more sinister and powerful purpose however is that if it was an ordinary airliner with people in it, then not much of a coverup would be needed. On the other hand, if there were no actual victims, and news about it being an ordinary passenger flight had already gone out via the media, then it was too late to admit that the plane was empty of people! Think about it, what would the government say? Would the President admit that there must be some powerful shadow cabal operating in the U.S. capable of staging something as colossal as the TWA 800 crash? No way. Because that would undermine the whole public power structure. It was much easier to just cover up the part about the victims by creating fake victims and their families. And once that first coverup was done: checkmate! The cabal could then start to blackmail the government etc like crazy. At first only those people who were in on the coverup, which was many but not that many. That would come to change after the 9/11 attacks, with millions of people in positions of power and in other key positions being forced to go along with a coverup.

The cabal can make a threat to a person in position of power: "You do as we tell you or we will expose your coverup!"
And even if the person in power himself or herself doesn't give a crap about society collapsing because of being able to escape to a luxury bunker in a tax haven, there are other people in positions of power who have interests that they need to protect. So the person being threatened can't just act in isolation without bringing down consequences from all around society on him- or herself. So a threat like that is effective because society is an interconnected whole power structure. |

I knew you hadnt thought it through Anders.
So, please explain how a secret shadow cabal could bribe the president or anyone else for that matter without revealling their identities? Surely the secret cabal that has remained secret for centuries wouldnt just tell everyone who they were over a plane crash??? Come on Anders, pull yourself together. I know, maybe the nephilim would stop the secret cabal before they gave themselves away, or would it be the otherway around? ![]() |
