KPFA. Whats with the cut in

KPFA. Whats with the cut in transmission of the interview with Craig Ranke at 47:45, and where can we hear the entire conversation? This is really interesting. compelling.
Mr Ranke appears to hold facts both Mr Summers and Mr Kester were UNAWARE of. Including having actually personally spoken with 5 of the 9 witnesses Mr Summers included in his book. None of whom Mr Summers spoke with!? Yet quoted? I would like to hear where that conversation led.
I would also like to hear why discussion regarding Lt.Col Steve O'Brien not actually having SEEN alleged 77 hit the Pentagon, yet quoted by the author as having seen it strike, was not followed up by Mr.Kester -that is important- AND the conversation regarding Mr Summers' having seen photographs of 'passengers still strapped to seats dead' so determinedly rebutted by Mr Ranke as being photos of dead office workers, without proper finish.

Three clearly defined confrontations with 'states evidence' by independent journalism cut - in fact the whole conversation cut without preamble, in the middle of a question by the HOST, with no reference made to it there after?

Thats not right.

Anthony Summers was getting

Anthony Summers was getting his butt kicked by Mr. Ranke when KPFA decided a report about animals was just what their listeners wanted to hear at that point. Under what rule of good journalism does that happen? The Citizens Investigation Team has solid, well-sourced, credible evidence, as presented in their film "National Security Alert" (NSA) that the plane crash at the Pentagon that we have had drummed into our heads for ten years, in fact, could not have, and did not happen without leaving a very different damage pattern than that found on 9/11. The absence of convincing plane debris, the light poles, and many other elements reinforce the conclusion of NSA - that a large airliner could not have, and did not, crash into the Pentagon that day. The Pentagon stands revealed as a staged event designed to convince the public that a plane piloted by hijackers, crashed there. NSA shows that it could not have done so, followed up by what appears to be the first insider confession of helping set the stage. If you have not seen National Security Alert by CIT, you don't have a chance of understanding 9/11 at the Pentagon, and you never will understand it if you depend on KPFA or the propaganda put forth by Anthony Summers and his ilk, of which there seems to be a steady stream. Google National Security Alert and see for yourself.

Judy, the answer is obvious. This story was intended to help reinforce the official account, and it was failing badly. Mr. Summers was defending a lie, which is hard to do when the evidence is against it and the truth has an eloquent spokesman. Craig Ranke has a far better grasp of the Pentagon because he has personally investigated every aspect of the event, instead of repackaging the lies we have been bombarded with by the media.

CIT's National Security Alert

CIT's National Security Alert concludes that the plane flew over the Pentagon, using the simple method of ignoring the evidence to the contrary. Of course if you ignore evidence, then you can come to any conclusion you like. I would have to say that the whole CIT thing is maybe the most absurd and juvenile nonsense I've come across for a very long time and it's positively embarrassing and even sad to watch grown adults taking it seriously.

I agree with the comments of

I agree with the comments of Judy Jones that the interview with Mr. Ranke and Mr. Summers should have aired in its entirety if KPFA wanted to achieve its goal of educating the public and with Larry Milner that Mr. Ranke had the upper hand when the conversation was cut short. I would add that what followed and aired instead was completely useless. I hope the rest of the interview will air at a later date.

Both the radio broadcast and

Both the radio broadcast and the later posted recording of the interview with Craig Ranke and Anthony Summers were cleary cut short. Why would KPFA do that, especially during a broadcast that is meant to help listeners seeking "truth"?

"Both the radio broadcast and the later posted recording of the interview with Craig Ranke and Anthony Summers were cleary cut short. Why would KPFA do that, especially during a broadcast that is meant to help listeners seeking "truth"?"

Good question. If you listen to how many times the "moderator" Terry Kester desperately interjected to try and save Anthony Summers and defend the official story I think the bias is clear. Craig Ranke was clearly winning hands down from what they decided to publish so I can only imagine what's on what they left out!
