  1. *Over 100 requests and counting sent out so far since Friday* Available upon request: official, original, un-doctored BTS .zip files showing the 4 9-11 “hijacked” planes either did not exist or were used for other purposes this day; therefore, the “official” story crumbles. Send request to at4417 at yahoo dot com and then get them out to everyone, everywhere. “V” for Victory! Thanks.
