This is all crap!!! I personally witnessed pieces of that plane being haulde out of there in dumpsters. I was pulling security at the gate inside the rings where the trucks went in and out to remove those pieces. I peered at the inside of every one of those containers on the way in and out! |

Excellent! Directly to the point without a lot of blather. I like that.
Welcome MP1989!
I see from your profile that you are Military Police. Were you on duty when the plane went in? If so, an interesting gig you have there.
Again welcome!

Thank You! To answer Filthy's question, No I was not on duty when the plane hit. My unit (MDARNG) was called to respond at about 5 a.m. on the 12th. We rallied together and were escorted via State Police all the way there. We remained there until the 30th. We were then placed in GA for 2 months. We returned to the "Gon" in December and remained until September 30th, 2002. Eight months later we were in Afghanistan for an 11 month tour. What's next? Guess it depends on the elections. Currently we have been deployed for almost 24 months in a 5 year period. A law passed by Congress mandates that Guard/ Reserve soldiers can only be deployed for 2 years in a 5 year period under one operation. (GWOT) |

Interesting gig or not, I don't envy you. At least in 'Nam you'd have some idea of when your tour was up.
I do not know nor can even make a guess as to what will happen after the election, regardless of who wins. I don't see how we can disengage in Iraq without the cooporation of the populace, and that we ain't got. Perhaps Kerry, if he wins, can get something diplomatic going and cool things off a bit, but I can make no predictions.
I sincerly hope that you are not to be posted to Iraq. And thank you for your Afganistan service. I only wish that you were better supported.

I know there was faces of the devil in the smoke! I saw one of them personally in the tapes I watched over and over!
I think was a terrible act of evil! only fitting the devil would show up in the smoke. Then to top it off they put the eternal flame on it to mark the spot! Its the event the brought the Illumaniti the closest they have been to Jerusalem since Jerusalem had them! |

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

We humans have this great ability to recognize patterns. One of the most common patterns, one that we learn very early, is the human face. It's a survival mechanism, I suspect.
It's also the reason why people see the "virgin Mary" in a 10 year old grilled cheese sandwich and on mineral stained reflective glass.
Sit back some nice summer afternoon and stare up at the clouds for a couple of hours and see if you don't start recognizing shapes.
<I was going to put a reference on pattern recognition in here, had read an article some time ago on the study of human pattern recognition abilities and the effort to mimic the ability for computers to enhance security..... but I can't seem to locate it. A google search turns up some related stuff, but not the specific article I want... oh well. If I find it I will post it, if anyone has any good references please post :) >

According to the article, Ricky, none of the photos were doctored, and I don't think there's any reason to think that they were. Instead, I think it's just an example of the face-on-Mars phenomenon, where shadows, when looked at from a certain angle, create the illusion of something familiar-- a face, a dog, the virgin Mary, or whatever.
That so many people actually think that Satan (or, apparently, an angel) was forming in the clouds there is a comment on the pathetic state of country when it comes to critical thinking. |

If you've programmed yourself with religious dogma long enough, or intensively enough, especially willingly, then your ability to think critically is so impared you'll need someone to slap your face.
Our ability to recognise faces is pre-wired, and if you add a heightened fear of anything that can be remotly linked to satanic or demonic whatever, what you'll see is Satan everywhere. Time to commit yourself to an institution. |

I saw two of those faces on the video from the day it happened. I saw both bottom ones. I haven't had time to validate all the other ones.
Basically four faces where seen and many other wild things, make of it what you will...
