Nobody Reports on First Reports

Nobody’s Opinion: Last week, while watching the 9/11 ceremonies on TV, suddenly there was breaking news: CNN reported first, that near the Potomac River, not far from the 9/11 ceremonies at the Pentagon, the coast guard were chasing a boat that would not comply to their order to stop. A few minutes later, FOX News got their cameramen on the scene, reporting the same.

Both networks reported that shots had been fired, and were still being fired. On the screen, you could see about three boats playing chase in a series of circles.

It was also reported that, this chase scene was taking place very close to the bridge that the President’s motorcade would use on the way to the ceremonies at that Pentagon.

Okay. How did THAT happen?

It wasn’t twenty minutes later when a second report came in; “Oh wait folks, we’re now being told that was just an exercise, no bullets were fired. It was just a missed communication…Homeland Security should have known. The Coast Guard has now reported that what you just witnessed is just a normal everyday event of a “practice” run …on 9/11, with the President going by, and oh, someone forgot about it.”

I was not at all surprised at the second report because, there is ALWAYS a second report. Reporters all over the world it seems always get things wrong on that first report, according to history.

Or do they?

I remember the first reports on Flight 800. First reports were that a plane crashed off the New York Coast, into the water right after takeoff. The first reports of eye witnesses at the scene were that there was a streak of light from the ground that hit the plane. Before it was over, not only was there were over fifteen eye witnesses from the ground, but two pilots also saw what looked like a “missile” from the ground. Many believed it was shot down.

But it wasn’t long before we were told that that first report was just wrong. President Clinton ordered those plane pieces to be put them into a hanger, and the official report from the government: it exploded in midair.

You conspiracy nuts you---stop it.

The first report of Princess Dianna’s accident in France was very upsetting. I was up that night, and never left my TV. My mother and I watched for over 4 hours while it was reported that eyewitness on the scene saw a car speed away from the scene of the accident. We sat in utter horror at the pathetic “rescue” efforts. It was obvious to anyone watching the first reports that Princess Diana’s life wasn’t worth much, because no one came to her rescue for the longest time…it took four hours to get her to the emergency room.

Second report: well, there was no conspiracy…everything was done to save her. Even if you don’t believe there was a conspiracy to kill her, you have to wonder why it took so long to get anyone on the scene.

Then there was the night that young JFK Jr’s plane went down. The first reporters on the scene interviewed eyewitness on the ground. Three separate people who lived on that island, heard several cannon fire, and some saw something being shot into the air.

Second reports: that JFK was a lousy pilot. President Bill Clinton bought out the whole Navy to get those bodies out of the water--- investigated and shut away so fast, the bodies barely had time to dry out.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but, JFK Jr. was a magazine editor…so... the Navy? What am I missing here? Would they have done the same if it had been Amy Carter flying that plane?

And just days ago…on 9/11, I heard Ari Fleischer, President Bush's Press Secretary on 9/11, tell a reporter that the moment when then President George Bush heard the that the twin towers were hit, that day in the classroom---Ari said they all just thought, like us, that a plane just got off course. And so, when he told the President that a second plane had hit, that’s when the president had sat there for 7 minutes. And then, he told them all, “We’re going to war:”

Ooooooookay.

I don’t know about you, but if a President has no more knowledge than the average citizen…what good is he? Are we really supposed to believe that? Really?
And trust me, I’m not the “Bush destroyed the World Trade Towers” on purpose crowd, but that doesn’t mean that as citizens, we shouldn’t have the right to question every single event, politician, and decisions made, and make educated opinions, and point out what we might see as BS spin, without being called crazy conspiracy mongers.

(Watch Ben Stein’s, “Expelled” to see how questioning should be done.)

Ari also said President Bush was heading to Washington D.C. after the attack BUT, was advised against it because there were at least eight planes still in the air with missiles, coming after Air Force One.

This explains away why we all thought he acted like a coward that day.

And this was the first time I’d ever heard this---a first report of eight other planes in the air searching for President Bush being reported nine years after the event?

Or was that the second report? Did I miss the first?

So, the question is: are all first reports just plain wrong, done by eager reporters searching for a “scare” to get ratings? Or are the first reports, by actual eyewitnesses erased immediate to put out the state’s official spin?

Do you think our media, like me, has been controlled for much too long by the “state?”

And then ask yourself…maybe it's what we don't know that is going to doom us. That’s why the Internet is such a threat…there are bills being presented at this moment to gain even more control over the Internet...and I’m waiting for the first report on why they had to “control” it.

You can wait for the second.
