Meyssan

Thierry Meyssan is a writer and political activist.

Someone recently brought his work and theories on 9-11 to my attention. Not surprisingly, his views run contrary to the most prevalent understanding of the events of 9-11.

From the UK Guardian Unlimited an article from April 2, 2002: US invented air attack on Pentagon, claims French book

excerpt: "Mr Meyssan's conspiracy theory argues that American Airlines flight 77, which killed 189 people when it smashed into the headquarters of the US defence department, did not exist, and that the whole disaster was a dastardly plot dreamed up and implemented by the US government."

A talk given by Meyssan on April 19 2002 in the United Arab Emirates on 9-11: Rense.com

excerpt: "The official version does not include the attack on the White House annex, the Old Executive Office Building (called the "Eisenhower Building"). Yet, on the morning of the eleventh, ABC television broadcast, live, pictures of a fire ravaging the presidential services building."

When I read this my response was like yours, ....huh.....

Were they seeing the smoke from the Pentagon and that smoke seemed to be from the Old Executive Office Building? Can someone explain this?

I dug around and found this from Peter Jennings on ABC News on the day of 9-11-01 - "....Want to hold our breath here, it seems to me, for a second and--and--and--and--and not get into a mode that the country is under attack. But we now have two attacks on the twin trade towers center, US buildings, city buildings completely evacuated in New York City. We have this mysterious black smoke at the southwest corner of the White House which is to say there's something going on behind the old Executive Office Building. We now have a report that fire has been confirmed at the Pentagon. ABC's John McWethy, our Pentagon correspondent who's been plugging in as quickly to the intelligence and counterintelligence units there this morning, has been temporarily evacuated. But that is as much as we know for sure at the moment."
