9-11 "crash" victim found in Europe with millions in fake Lira currency?
Edited on Sat Oct-15-05 09:16 PM by webDude
Okay, sorry if this is old news, but this is the woman that supposedly called form the plane before it "crashed" into the side of the Pentagon, leaving a 16 foor diameter hole, by the way. Any other news about this?

1. The person who did the report has been labeled a nut case. I haven't
heard of anyone else backing up the original story.

3. tin foil alert
i think at one point wayne madsen said this person was barbara olson who'd been o0n the pentagon flight. problem is italy uses the euro, not the lira.

5. Tom Flocco is not a reliable source.
Anyhow -- the lira was replaced by the euro in 2002, so what good are millions of fake ones now? The story is not credible. :tinfoilhat:

8. You're missing it completely
By carrying a ton of fake and obsolete currency, she proves that she's legit--after all, someone with something to hide would take pains to make sure that her currency was right, right?

Right?

Uh, right?

6. An additional problem is the original,
version story had the arrest occuring at the Poland-Austrian border.

They have no common border. It was apparently pointed out, because the author at least fixed that glaring problem in the story.

11. The lire wouldn't even...
...still be good after 28 February 2002, when they ceased to be legal tender.

12. this story may be total bs, but that doesn't discount the possibility . .
that Barbara Olsen may be alive and well and living somewhere or other . . .

13. Locking, since this ridiculous story has...
been thoroughly debunked by now.

Please, everybody, try not to take Tom Flocco's word for ANYTHING.

If he says the sky is blue-- look out the window to make sure.
