Air National Guard Flying Promotional Campaign DC/CNN Don't be Alarmed!
Edited on Tue Apr-06-04 11:37 AM by KoKo01
Watching Chimp speech on Economy and CNN shows pix of planes flying over DC. Wolf says "we are breaking in because there are planes flying over Washington and we're told it's a promotional campaign by the Air National Guard and we know that citizens of DC walking on the streets may be alarmed given what happened on 9/11 so we are reporting this so that you will be aware of what happened." He goes on to say that "this will be going on regularly and they just got the information on short notice. Says it's for recruiting purposes and to show that the nation is safe because the Air National Guard in in the skies." Says the small plane in the video is of a "press plane" who is photographing it all!"

:wtf: Is going on! This is definitely PsyOps. Connect the Chimp giving a speech where he talks about 9/11 hurting the economy and put a box up in the corner about planes flying over DC????

:nuke:

1. That was beyond freaky. It was CRIMINAL!
What a total mind-fuck this was. I can tell you, if they pull a stunt like this in either NYC or Boston, I hope they shott the plane down! Ugh, these people make me sick.

2. I had the same reaction. It was so "in your face" and the way CNN
positioned it putting the picture up for a few seconds as if it was breaking news that something was up with planes just as Chimp is winding down in his "free campaign time" which CNN gives him five times a day!

It is criminal. How many e-mails to Wolf will work? Probably none. It takes phone calls from thousands like over Janet's Boob before these people listen.

Capitalizing on Fear.

5. Planes are in the airspace over DC on a path they aren't allowed to take
over the White House. CNN puts a box in upper left of screen during Chimpy's speech where he just mentions 9/11 and the viewer is left thinking something is going on in Latest Breaking News. Wolf takes a bit before he come in and says "the planes flying over DC...." and if you read my post you will understand the rest, I think.

The pix looked like it was an escort of a plane...terror, terror, terror.

6. I thought someone said they were F-16s?
Military aircraft CAN fly over the White House with proper clearance.

But, I think I see your point.

8. I'm just going by what Wolf said. He said planes are not normally allowed
to fly in this particular airspace over DC but were given permission because this is for a Promotion for Air National Guard.

Maybe he was lying and it was just a stunt to start the fear factor.

9. It was a twin-engined airliner being trailed by F-16's

...but the twin-engined airliner was actually a USAF aircraft (possibly a 737?)

I saw it too and...

3. WHo the F*** knows the difference around here
there are so many planes all the time what with National Airport flying and the helicopters from the Pentagon who would notice the difference?
