Trump Blames “Ancient” Technology for Mysterious Absence of 9/11 Tailgate Videos

[Tab]

After more than a week of defending himself to 9/11 truthers, Donald Trump today clarified why there’s absolutely no evidence to corroborate the rooftop parties he “saw with his own eyes”: The ancient technology of 2001.

Trump was a caller on MSNBC’s Morning Joe this morning when he lit upon the explanation, telling Willie Geist that the “hundreds” of his supporters who also say they saw the parties can’t be wrong.

“They’ll find something. They’re going to find something,” Trump insisted, before explaining that “they” probably won’t find something because of the “ancient” technology used in 2001.

“Don’t forget, 14, 15 years ago, it wasn’t like it is today, where you press a button and you play a video. Fourteen, 15 years ago, they don’t even put it in files, they destroy half of the stuff. You know, if you look back 14, 15 years, that was like ancient times in terms of cinema, and in terms of news and everything else. They don’t have the same stuff. Today you can press a button and you can see exactly what went on, you know, two years ago. But when you go back 14, 15 years, that’s like ancient technology, Joe.”

Just like the birth certificate his investigators had that would blow the top off Obama's candidacy. Uh-huh. I would venture to say that 9/11 is probably the most documented day in recent history. Shit, we still have the Zapruder film from 1963. Nothing like that gets thrown away. Ever.

4. Maybe not. Shortly after 9-11, all of the air traffic tapes that

chronicled the radios messages of Air Traffic Control on 9-11 were overwritten because "they needed to re-use the existing tapes".

Those tapes were perhaps the most important tapes ever made. The Government could have procured some additional empty tapes.

11. It's all about the ratings...

12. Even if a reasonable person were open to

listening to this to the very end, this part, right here, is the point where in my mind I know there is going to be an historic, meteoric crash for this psychpilot in the not-so-distant future:

You know, if you look back 14, 15 years, that was like ancient times in terms of cinema, and in terms of news and everything else.

Thus indicating that to him the world is one big teevee reality show and that he honestly perceives that his becoming president is just like becoming the executive producer of the "MurikaWorldDailyRealityShow" which functions like a global game of "Simon Says" for him and oh, what fun he'll have.

Or perhaps he figures it's only way he's gonna have a role in the global oligarchy which is obviously true of the other candidates.

Ha'aretz talked about it at the time, too (Thanks, MinstrelBoy!):

Spies, or students?

by Nathan Guttman
Ha'aretz, May 13, 2002

EXCERPT...

There is one source for all these stories and it is not an unreliable one. The source is the 60-page draft of an internal report by the intelligence division of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The draft was leaked to the media and its existence was confirmed by spokesmen from the DEA and the Justice Department, which is responsible for running the DEA. But confirming that the report exists is not the same as verifying its contents.

According to the report's author, whose identity has never been published, DEA officials identified an increase in the number of incidents in which young Israelis, claiming to be art students, tried to sell them works of art. "It is entirely possible," said the report, "that this is an organized intelligence-gathering activity."

A warning was sent out by the federal anti-espionage office to other federal agencies in March 2001,warning them to be wary of students trying to sell them art works and gain entry to federal facilities. The document records several encounters between DEA officials and Israelis all over the United States. In one incident, the report documents an attempt to gain entry to the Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, where the AWACS spy plane and the B-1 bombers are serviced.

What is really keeping this story alive is the claim of a link between the Israeli "students" and Israeli intelligence. The original report, as well as subsequent media reports, say that many of the young Israelis arrested served in the IDF's Intelligence Corps and were involved in operating electronic bugging equipment; one even said he was the son of a senior Israel Defense Forces officer. It took just one small leap to turn this into a conspiracy, whereby all the Israelis arrested were in the pay of the Mossad.

It's complicated, figuring out who's who and what's what.
