Northwoods
Yes. . I believe that Northwoods type operations are still being run using civilian aviation as a platform. . And I'm willing to present evidence of where I think they are being run. . But I'd like to see the thread's environment improved. . This isn't the military section so we might need to agree to some voluntary protocols (as long as they don't conflict with JC protocols of course). . Those of you who have already contacted me thru private email and asked for present day Northwoods operations info, videos or other information, I'll answer you as soon as I can outside JC.
ATN_Pilot
First, I think that ATN_Pilot made a good point . . No one knows who anyone is here. . This is not your average pilot discussion thread. . Some Members are very upset and have discussed extremely radical measures towards controlling the thread, such as having JC shut down the thread and remove it from the site (post #11), editing user comments before they can be displayed, and more. . Not only do we not know each other, we don't really control what shows up on the screen. . This is cyberspace. . Lithuanian Film Festival movie reviews could start showing up under flyingbum's avatar that he didn't write. . He couldn’t stop it or even notify us. . Hambone could be outed as D.B Cooper by some mischievous post. . Links could be re-directed to other sites. . Four letter word postings could appear under Jet's name that he had nothing to do with. . So a good posting reputation could be destroyed in a flash. . I'm not saying that I expect anything like that to happen. . I don't. . But technically its possible. . We don't control the servers or backbones. . ATN_Pilot's motives aside, I'm glad that he brought it up. . We should have doubts and agree to some slightly higher standards with regard to what we post and except. .
Documenting Primary Core Claims
I don't expect anyone to take my word for it regarding important issues. . That's why I go to such efforts to document my primary and core claims. . Yes I spent a little time at the Pentagon. . It was no big deal. . But that's not the core of my story or my claim. . That's just background information. . I could post my military papers, but they could be faked, and I'm sure someone would point that out . . SeanD's post #357 claim that his mother worked for the CIA was interesting, but I don't think we need to ignore his entire post if he can't prove it. . Even if he wanted to, how could he ever provide proof that everyone would except? It is not possible or necessary. . If you want to continue this thread, and if JC will permit us to continue, instead I would propose that we make a greater attempt to provide authoritative documentation in the form of links and precise explanations of our core claims, if we are making any. . I thought inigo88 set a pretty good example. .
Off line PM
If Members aren't ready to abandon the thread and have proposals for a smoother and more polite exchange of information, I'm open to suggestions. . Otherwise I'll link you individually to the subject matter that you want by email. . The way this is looking, that might be the only way. .
