Paranoia about 911: were transmissions faked?

Can Science overcome Myth? (in time to stop the next war) 

MEDIA RELEASE 4th March 2003 

Professor A.K. Dewdney, author of 'Ghost Riders in 
the Sky', has released the results of an experiment testing the feasibility of claims that 
cellphone calls were made from 'hijacked' airplanes on September 11th 2001. 

The cellphone calls from hijacked planes were a crucial element of the 
'official version' of the horrific events of '9/11', as they directly 
corroborated the notion that all four planes were hijacked by Arab 
terrorists. 

Dewdney's experiment suggests that it is highly unlikely the cellphone calls 
took place as reported... 

Dewdney's 'Ghost Riders in the Sky' hypothesis has been available on the web 
since early 2002. Now in its fourth version, it can be viewed HERE. Dewdney 
is a Canadian Mathematician and Computer Scientist who holds the position of 
Emeritus Professor at the University of Western Ontario and has some 100 
academic papers to his name. He proposes that the four 'hijacked' airplanes 
on 9/11 were taken over by remote control after all crew and passengers were 
disabled (probably killed by a poisonous gas such as sarin). Professor 
Dewdney further suggests that the 'Arab hijackers', whose identity has been 
shrouded in mystery since it was discovered that several alleged hijackers 
are in fact alive and well, were patsies. 

A crucial objection to Dewdney's hypothesis has been the cellphone calls 
reportedly made from the 'hijacked' planes. These cellphone calls appear to 
substantiate the official version of events. If they took place as reported, 
Dewdney's hypothesis is clearly incorrect. 

In version four of 'Ghost Riders', Dewdney went to great lengths to analyze 
the numerous reports of cellphone calls, and showed how they could have been 
faked. 

Now he's gone one better... 

On Tuesday 25th February 2003, Dewdney chartered a light plane and flew up 
into the airspace above London Ontario - an area extensively serviced with 
cellphone stations. His goal was to test the essential feasibility of the 
claim that cellphone calls could have been made from planes at high 
altitude. 

Dewdney's report on this private experiment, entitled 'Project Achilles', is 
HERE.

His report concludes: 

"To the extent that the cellphones used in this experiment represent types 
in general use, it may be concluded that from this particular type of 
aircraft, cellphones become useless very quickly with increasing altitude. 
In particular, two of the cellphone types, the Mike and the Nokia, became 
useless above 2000 feet. Of the remaining two, the Audiovox worked 
intermittently up to 6000 feet but failed thereafter, while the BM analog 
cellphone worked once just over 7000 feet but failed consistently 
thereafter. We therefore conclude that ordinary cellphones, digital or 
analog, will fail to get through at or above 8000 feet abga." 

The light plane used by Dewdney for the experiment could be expected to 
yield much better results for cellphone use than large commercial airliners 
of the type 'hijacked' on 9/11, because the carbon fiber skin of the test 
plane is 'radio transparent' and offers little attenuation of the signal - 
unlike the aluminum surface of a Boeing 757 or 767. If cellphones fail at a 
given altitude in the test plane, one may be confident they won't work at 
equivalent altitude in an airliner with a metal surface. 

Dewdney's experiment suggests that if cellphone calls from 'hijacked' 
airplanes on 9/11 happened at all, they must all have occurred at very low 
altitude. This is inconsistent with the 'official version' of events. 

The implications that 9/11 was a spectacular hoax are, of course, 
staggering. Many journalists and commentators may be reticent to dissect the 
official version of events, because to do so opens a veritable Pandora's 
Box. 

If 9/11 was not carried out by Arab terrorists, the perpetrators clearly 
must have influence within the highest levels of the US Administration. Key 
elements of the mass media must also have been complicit in perpetrating the 
fraud. 

Whoever was ultimately responsible for these crimes against humanity 
apparently intended, inter alia, to portray terrorism as a quintessentially 
Muslim phenomenon and trigger long-term western hostility towards the Arab 
and Moslem world. 

With war looming in the middle east, justified largely on the basis of the 
events of '9/11', the immediate contemporary relevance of this possibility 
is self-evident. 

Giving credence to this view is not, perhaps, conducive to a successful 
career in the western media. Nevertheless, journalists worthy of the title 
should start seriously investigating the many anomalies surrounding 9/11 - 
and stop uncritically regurgitating officially-sanctioned myths which fail 
to withstand scientific scrutiny. - ENDS

"We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing. It might be a thousand years. At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual.... -- George Orwell, 1984

Politically and culturally, we are some of America's dead, huddling together here in The Last Ditch.

We're a jumbled bunch of old bones  defunct revolutionaries, shell-shocked reactionaries, failures of the regime's schooling system, American Dreamers who died hard, misfits all. There are even a few of us still dreaming who might protest  like the uncooperative plague victim in the Monty Python film  'I'm not dead yet!'"
