There's a guy in Richmond with a sign in his yard that says
9/11 was an inside job.

I just heard it on WRIC news at lunchtime. Maybe the sheeple are waking up.


A South Richmond man is speaking out about a controversial sign he placed outside his home on Jahnke Road. Chad Siewert tells 8News he first put up the sign two weeks ago. He believes the September 11th tragedy is a way for the government to gain support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Ever since we first aired the story, 8News has been flooded with e-mails and phone calls voicing strong opinions about the message. Siewert also contacted 8News over the weekend for a chance to explain.

"I would like for people to investigate 9-11 for themselves and would like for them to not ignore the fact that members of Bush's own administration are saying 9-11 was an inside job," he says.

Siewert is a former soldier, honorably discharged after serving in Korea.

1. The afternoon idiot on WRVA had him on the air
Chad is a veteran of the US Army-joined right after 9/11 he's been out since November. He learned about the theories and started checking them out on the internet.

I don't believe in LIHOP or MIHOP myself but I am just telling you what he said.

Chad said that he goes out and sits by the sign and he says some people honk at him. He mentioned Building 7 and then mistakenly said that Rummy said on 9/10 taht $2.4 Trillion was missing from the Pentagon which could buy lots of propaganda-actually Rummy said that that amount of STUFF was missing this was part of his drive to realign the US military which everyone knew was coming.

After that Mac Watson had on a guy who said he was at the Pentagon, a Drill Sgt. at Ft. Lee, and a woman who had several members of her family who had been in the military they all agreed that Chad had to be nuts. The media, which so hates W, would clearly have outed any information that they uncovered. Boot camp was recommended to get that guy, Chad, back in line.

2. Given what is happening in the world, I am moving closer and closer
to LIHOP. I didn't catch the interview, so I appreciate the update. Apparently, making a bit of noise which I certainly appreciate.

3. Okay now the morning idiot on WRVA had him on
Edited on Tue Jul-25-06 07:32 AM by underpants
I caught just the end of it. I shouldn't call him an idiot...but he does work for WRVA (Bill Blevins still curse him daily I am sure :evilgrin: )

Anyway Chad was back on. The most important thing I caught...get ready for this...Chad's job in the Army was..... 98C Intelligence he had the highest security clearance you can get. He didn't learn anything to further his theories along he just IS stable/secure enough for the Army to alot him that security.

The morning guy asked him "You DO think that a plane hit the Pentagon don't you?" "NO not at all" Chad then went on to mention the "founder of Reaganomics (name?) who apparently has come out and said that the 9/11 stories have holes or actually are just pure BS. Anyway Chad sounded much more comfortable on the air.

Like I said I don't buy into the theories but these WRVA guys don't seem to even be able to consider any of this it is so far out of their universe of consideration that they are actually silenced by it. I can entertain some of this and see that there are some things that don't hold up but they just can't fathom any of it.

To follow up last night's post- Mac Watson (I have gotten on the air a couple of times wow is he mindless) just could not understand how anyone especially some golden warrior of freedom who served in the Army could possibly have such an attitude toward HIS government ....this was on WRVA's airwaves the same ones that have brought you Vince Foster theories, Ron Brown theories, and Sean Hannity's "Clinton was offered Bin Laden" whackjob theories- Mac Watson had a caller just last week make inuendos and sly, to him, references to Ron Brown.

4. Just When I Get So Discouraged about Richmond
I hear some good news! I don't know if 9/11 was an inside job, but I sure as hell know where there's smoke there's fire. It is very rare that a rumor does not have some basis in fact. I remember playing that game as a kid where you whisper something in one person's ear and go down a line of children and see what the last person said compared to the original "whisper." There still was truth in last child's statement. I will never discount something just because the claim is "it's a rumor!"

5. Hot Dang!
I saw Fahrenheit 9-11 in Richmond, and it was a very vociferous audience. My whole family chuckles at me because I think it was a LIHOP or MIHOP, someday we'll see...
