Matt FInds "New" Version of Chopper 5

update: I've just had a phone conversation with Genghis, and learned that an interlaced copy of the "new" Chopper 5 is available. It's in MPEG2 format, and available here. It is not frame-blended. It is still a digitization from what is most assuredly a VHS source, the same VHS source as the original Dylan Avery version, as evidenced by a distinct analog noise band just before the fade to black. 

------------

Matt, webmaster of 911conspiracy.tv, has come up with what he calls a "new version" of the Chopper 5 footage. It's significant, he says, because you can see an airplane in the wide shot. "No plane in the wide shot" is, of course, one of the proofs of video compositing on 9/11. Matt, a no planer (I think), says this indicates a real flying object, like a missile, invalidating my proof of no flying object.

Discussion Thread at Pumpitout.

Link to download footage.

Indeed, a small blurry flying object is now seen in the wide shot of this footage, and I have no doubt it originated as the image of a 767. I have no reason at all to think it is any real object, and every reason to think it was added to the footage.

1. This is not really a new version of Chopper 5. It is a somewhat better quality copy of the Dylan Avery / Anthony Lawson version. It has the exact same VHS-style noise event before the fade-to-black. The other known version - Jim Hoffman / Eric Salter - has no such noise event, therefore the noise did not occur at the source. This "new" version is obviously the same old Avery / Lawson.

2. Like the previously available version of Avery / Lawson, it is frame blended. Each existing frame of video has been created by blending together what were originally two separate video images, taken 1/59.94 seconds apart. This causes the airplane images to be blurry and elongated. It's terrible for trying do things like measure velocity. I suspect that's by design.

3. Unlike the previously available version of Avery / Lawson, there are no duplicated frames.

4. While the previously available version of Avery / Lawson did not show the plane in the wide shot, you could see an airplane image for about 3 frames during the zoom in. We knew that this added image had been frame blended differently than the overall footage, because a particular airplane image appeared on 3 separate frames, instead of just 2.

5. We also knew that the tiny airplane image had been added after the fact, because it does not appear in the Hoffman/Salter version. It is true that the Hoffman / Salter version was brightened significantly, and brightening could certainly cause a tiny airplane image to disappear. Or not, depending.

Click image for full size.

To test whether or not Hoffman / Salter could have been brightened enough to disappear the tiny airplane, I tried to brighten and color-match Avery / Lawson. I was able to match colors pretty closely, and make Avery / Lawson considerably BRIGHTER than Hoffman / Salter, and still not disappear the tiny airplane. Therefore brightening did not disappear any airplane image in Hoffman / Salter.

I suspect there were problems in attempting to add matching airplanes to the two different VHS versions of Chopper 5. It was decided to add a plane to Avery / Lawson, de-interlace and frame blend it for confusion, while brightening Hoffman / Salter without adding an airplane, and leave it interlaced.

6. The "new" version comes complete with a silly story about somebody named "Dr. Ebbets" who allegedly hounded the networks and used his connections to obtain the footage.

Dr. Ebbets Story

Why then would he end up with another version of the same old VHS tape copy? OK "Dr. Ebbets", who are you? Can I please talk to you? Could you please make an interlaced copy of your "new" video? Better yet, could you please use your connections to get broadcast quality?

7. "Dr. Ebbets" evidently created a DVD called "911 As it Happened - A Composite". I suspect the use of the word "composite" is another information warfare tactic, diffusing the important meaning of "composite" in the context of 9/11.

The 9/11 Airplane Video Composites

8. Matt is touting the "new" version as "near broadcast quality". It's nothing of the sort. This was recorded on VHS tape, then digitized, then de-interlaced and frame-blended, and finally compressed with mp4 compression. Broadcast quality is none of that.

The govern-media just digs itself in deeper. But don't worry guys, almost nobody's paying attention.

Ace,

Matt here, after just reading your post at 911movement:
http://forum.911movement.org/index.php?showtopic=539&st=540
... which was linked at pumpitout:
http://s1.zetaboards.com/pumpitout/topic/1140450/3/#new
... which is a thread I started after Genghis pointed out the plane in the
footage I found and pointed out to him:
http://z15.invisionfree.com/911taboo/index.php?showtopic=1059&st=0

Knowing your investment of time and energy in this piece of footage, I
thought I would tell you the story of finding the "new" version of the
Chopper 5 WTC 2nd hit footage.

You must have already searched and found the source:

http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1772645/?report_comment=7596344&show_files=&page=1&rel=1232820944

...and read the statement by Dr. Ebbetts, who made the DVD "September 11,
2001 - As It Happened - A Composite"

I googled (scroogled, really: http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm)
that title, which is in the "more info" for the YouTube video "September
11, 2001 - As It Happened - The South Tower Attack" -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lKZqqSI9-s -- after having scroogled it
many times. This past weekend that search picked up a brand new, day-old
torrent. I jumped on it.

I'm sorry to hear doubts as to its authenticity (see Simon Shack's post
linked above), but the quality of the footage from that torrent is
undeniably top notch.

Thought I'd share.

Thanks again for all you've done. I'm glad to help here, even though the
"no plane in the wide shot" theory seems to be defunct.

Simon wants to carry on the legacy, obviously. I hope you don't, perhaps
out of my own gullibility in believing the authenticity of the torrent/DVD
files. I do believe it, nonetheless.

Carry on.

Sincerely,
Matt

Danny Romero and Libertarian Truth Allergy

Danny Romero is the boss at Freedom Underground Radio. Right after my suicide performance art piece, he suspended host Jim Fetzer. He posted a message explaining his decision. I find it very revealing.

"I could be wrong but, my gut told me that this [Ace Baker's Suicide Performance Art] was about to create an avalanche of alternative 911 theorists to come in and mentally masturbate over whose 911 theory was correct." - Danny Romero, Freedom Underground.

Searching for the truth about the most important event in history is "mental masturbation"? An avalanche of interest in an internet radio show is a bad thing to Danny Romero? I would have thought an "avalanche" of people "coming in" would be a good thing. Hmmmm.

"This would have negatively impacted the direction FU radio wants to go and I feel strongly that Jim was being set up to be victimized by these people too. I'm not opposed to debate but, we've already seen this fight before and it was negative, divisive and smacked of something more." - Danny Romero, Freedom Underground

What debate? 9/11 Truth? No-planes? Of course it smacks of something more. It smacks of a controlled opposition propaganda machine.

"We all understand that a crime was committed on 911 and was never properly investigated, but these fights will be a waste of precious time and will only serve to distract us away from the things we need to pay attention to at this critical moment." -Danny Romero

I see. Forget what the "avalanche of alternative 9/11 theorists" have to say, pay attention to what Danny Romero thinks is important.

Danny Romero has a right to run Freedom Underground any way he wants, including firing host Jim Fetzer for any reason, or for no reason at all. But just because it's called "Freedom Underground" doesn't necessarily mean it's about freedom, or that's it's underground.

Fetzer was not and is not a good fit for FU radio. They are anti-state libertarians, as am I. Fetzer has revealed himself to be a leviathan government-hugging statist.

It's profoundly ironic that the anti-state libertarians, like FU, and more importantly the Mises Scholars, and the Lew Rockwell guys, are allergic to 9/11 truth. As I pointed out in my 2007 article on Morgan Reynolds' site, 9/11 truth would be, by far, the best method to convince large numbers of people that government is harmful and unnecessary.

What are the libertarians afraid of?

Anarchy?

Investigation Allegory 9 -1-1

Another piece by "Anonymous". I do wonder who this writer might be. Hmmmm. Oh well, enjoy.

This week on CSI:NYC….the crime lab team is investigating a murder at ground zero in NYC….let’s tune in:

SGT: “Whatta we got son?”

Officer: “Well…it looks like this woman was stabbed with a knife that was held by this gentlemen over there. “

Sgt: “Were there any witnesses?”

Officer: “Yeh….the whole room at the time of the stabbing was filled with officers conducting a training seminar on how to react after someone gets stabbed. They were all in town for a mock stabbing that was going to take place tomorrow”

Sgt: “That’s convenient. Were there any civilian witnesses and what did the 2 groups see?”

Officer: “Well….yes there were civilians….70% of all witnesses saw NO STABBING what so ever…while every officer saw the woman “fall” onto the knife herself?”

Sgt: “My…that is curious. Can we get any of these witnesses under oath?”

Officer: “No….the White House has issued a worldwide gag order to all officers, police, fireman, FBI, CIA, SS, NSA, FEMA, NTSB, FAA, and anyone remotely associated with this stabbing.”

Sgt: “What kind of knife was it? What should I tell the press? And did this man take out any insurance on this woman before the stabbing?”

Officer: “You’re gonna like this sarge. The same company and executives….manufactured the knife, OWN the media that you are about to talk to, AND were the underwriters for the life insurance policy on the woman taken out by the man just 6 weeks before the stabbing?”

Sgt: “OKaaaaaaaayyyyyy. Let’s just get a blood sample, test it, and release the results to the world to find out that it was actually the woman stabbed”.

Officer: “Well……we can’t do that boss. All the blood was ordered cleaned up and destroyed by the White House before you got here. The knife was confiscated and destroyed without any testing. All the carpet in the room was picked up and destroyed. And no verification of any blood, weapon, or even open testimony by the police can ever be verified without redaction or black-outs. The woman’s body was also destroyed. And the man who the witnesses saw…… committed “suicide” by jumping out of his 50 story building just moments ago. His body was also destroyed. The mayor is now arresting anyone taking pictures or video of the building, and the media is now saying a person who might be Islamic is now the real killer.

Sgt: “So what evidence do we have?”

Officer: “Well…..we have these witnesses…..though they completely contradict each other…..and apparently in just a few days and weeks we should be getting video from people who were in the room at the time that proves that it wasn’t even a knife at all but a car.”

Sgt: “This sounds like an open and shut case. Chalk another one up to the deception execution cycle. I’ll be down at the donut shop if you need me. Goodbye.”

The 9/11 Insurance Adjuster

Here's a delightful little ditty sent to me by an anonymous reader. Enjoy.

Hypothetical phone call from an airline company to the airline insurance representative after 911:

IC: “Hello…How may I help you?”

AC: Yes….I have 4 planes insured with you guys and they all crashed on 911 and I was calling to see when I can get my insurance money for my loss.

IC: “OK….that’s horrible. Let’s see…. where did this happen?

AC: Well….2 planes hit the WTC’s in NYC another plane hit the Pentagon, and one crashed into a field in PA. When can I get my money?

IC: “Well here at Bob’s Plane insurance we want you to receive your money asap. All we will need to do is inspect and verify the wreckage and the ID numbers on the 4 planes so that we can get you your money as quickly as possible. What are the exact locations so that we can send out our inspectors?”

AC: Well…..that’s a problem. You see there is absolutely NO WRECKAGE of ANY KIND but we do have lots of eyewitnesses and lots of video and film. When can I get my money?

IC: “I understand sir. It’s just that to pay you all we must do is simply verify that the plane that crashed was the plane that you say it was. It’s simply a matter of looking at any of the 3.1 million pieces that make up a standard 767. If 4 of them crashed that should be pretty easy. That’s almost 13 million parts of aircraft. When can we inspect the wreckage?”

AC: Well….you can’t. We have eyewitnesses and video.

IC: “Sir I understand. It’s just that we have never paid a claim simply by an eyewitness or video. All we go by is the wreckage. Certainly there were black boxes or voice data recorders that we could verify other than witnesses or video?”

AC: “Are you calling all of our eyewitnesses liars? Are you calling all of our video, film, and photos faked and staged? Are you saying that the pain felt by the victims is somehow not real? Are saying that Bush lied and that you hate our troops?”

IC: “Sir…I understand…it’s just that you are calling about being paid millions of dollars with not one single piece of verifiable evidence of any kind. As an airline insurance company…you must understand that we would be out of business in minutes if all that was needed to file a claim was an eyewitness, a photo, and NO WRECKAGE. Can we at least inspect or test the sites?

AC: No…..take it or leave it. All we have is what the media told us and what our eyewitnesses said they may have seen…although none of them were under oath. When can we get our money?

IC: “Sir…with all due respects….call us when we can inspect ANY form of wreckage. Goodbye.”

AND NOW REAL LIFE: As of this writing not one dime has been paid to any of the airline companies that lost planes on 911. Why? Because the insurance companies investigating the crashes have NEVER VERIFIED A SINGLE PIECE OF WRECKAGE FROM ANY OF THE 4 PLANES AT ANY OF THE 4 LOCATIONS ON 911. They pay only by wreckage.

A Few Predictions on Lord Obama's Regime

It's 8:13 am Pacific time as I begin to write, the coronation of his holiness Lord Obama is about to take place. Millions have gathered in the hopes of basking in his aura for a fleeting moment, cameras roll. The media have outdone themselves. The criminal syndicate that is government has never appeared more sacrosanct than right now. I want to vomit. Literally. Remember, these are the same media perps who put fake airplanes into video footage on 9/11, and called it "the news.

I have a few predictions for the Obama regime.

1. Health Care Takeover

I predict the media will ramp up support for socialized medicine by featuring stories of American children who allegedly died because they didn't have health insurance, and didn't get some operation. The same stories will show children in Canada or Sweden who are alive, happy and healthy, having received "free" treatment, paid for by their benevolent and wise government medical system.

2. Energy Taxes and Takeover

I predict the media will ramp up support for energy taxes with a series of stories about "global warming". They'll need to wait until summer to begin this in earnest.

3. Continued War

I predict the coverage of the war in Iraq will drastically change, giving the appearance that the war is over. American troops will never leave Iraq, ever. Similar to the Clinton regime, Obama will wage "small" wars on various little "enemies".

The slow deliberate march toward totalitarianism continues as Obama works on the domestic front, as Bush-Cheney worked primarily on the foreign front.

Bizarre Nerve Damage

On October 11, 2002, in the “United States of America”, I had psychiatric surgery without consent and against my will. I underwent a procedure known as a “sympathectomy” or “ETS Surgery” at the hands of a surgeon named Richard J. “Rick” Fischel, MD, PhD. Besides a litany of physical disabilities, I suffer a profound loss of emotional response., I am unable to experience fear, thrills or excitement. While my intelligence was not affected, and some emotions remain intact, the “high end” of my emotion is permanently gone.

Sympathectomy involves cutting out a significant part of the sympathetic chain of ganglia, a part of the body I had never even heard of prior to 2002. Why would I undergo such a barbaric neurosurgery? This is embarrassing to reveal, but I’ve decided to go forward.

During my 20’s and early 30’s, I spent a lot of time touring, playing keyboards in bands. But after the 1993 world tour with Mother’s Finest, I decided to quit the road, and focus on writing and producing music. This meant going to pitch meetings and industry functions. It was new and exciting. And a bit nervous at times.

It was then that I developed an occasional problem where, in some of these nervous situations, I would begin sweating from my face. It wasn’t that I felt overly nervous at all. I was able to speak just fine, I wasn’t trembling. In fact, except for the sweating, I enjoyed being a little keyed up. It reminded me of the feeling of being backstage, about to go on.

But a few embarrassing sweat episodes made me begin to dread the thought of going to another meeting. It was then that I heard an ad on the radio talking about “hyperhidrosis” or “excessive sweating”. The ad promised a cure with a simple outpatient procedure. Intrigued, I did some googling and discovered a half-dozen websites of surgeons offering ETS surgery to treat hyperhidrosis. All of them claimed it was safe and effective.

I found a surgeon down in Orange County California by the name of Rick Fischel. Not only an MD, he was a PhD, rare for a surgeon. I met with Dr. Fischel and he confidently explained that he had developed a special form of ETS. He explained that there are two types of sweating – normal, physiologic sweating, and abnormal non-physiologic sweating. We need the normal sweating, he said, to keep the body cool. But the abnormal sweating was caused by a “little tiny nerve” inside the body. By cutting out this “little tiny nerve”, the abnormal sweating would go away, while the normal sweating would be left alone.







He said that a possible side effect of the surgery was something called “compensatory sweating”, where the lower part of the body has some “mild moistness”. But, he assured me, because of his special method, this problem had “gone away” in 100% of all his past patients.




This sales pitch from Dr. Fischel turned out to be nothing but a pack of lies and omissions. As it turns out, that “tiny little nerve” was actually 6 major sympathetic nerve ganglia, bundles of neurons, like little brains. There aren’t two types of sweating. ETS doesn’t just stop the excessive sweating, it permanently destroys ALL sweating on the top 1/3 of the body, forever. This is a dangerous and disturbing condition known as “anhidrosis”. My skin in this area is painfully dry at all times. My hands, especially, are so extraordinarily dry that I it’s all I can do to keep from screaming. Lotions and creams just don’t work for more than a few seconds.

But that is only the beginning of the nightmare. ETS surgery causes a "split body syndrome".

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for our “fight or flight” response. These sympthetic ganglia are connected to the heart, and lungs, and blood vessels, and bones, and bone marrow, and sweat glands, thyroid gland, and fat tissue, and much more. Even goose bumps are controlled by them. So it’s predictable that each one of these systems will be altered. Indeed, that is the case.

My temperature regulation is completely fouled up. The top 1/3 of my body is routinely 10-12 degrees hotter than the lower 2/3, as thermal imaging reveals. My heart will not respond very much at all to emotion or exercise. My surface blood vessels are paralyzed wide open, unable to properly constrict, causing a ceaseless throbbing sensation in my hands. Levels of certain hormones are abnormally low in my blood and spinal fluid. My thyroid is completely denerved. All of this was confirmed during a week long study of me at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, in a protocol headed by Dr. David Goldstein.

I knew the minute I awoke from ETS surgery that I was altered. I noticed a strange feeling that I can only describe as a detachment from myself. It is as if my own feelings are happening to someone else. As it turns out, the same ETS surgery is used to treat psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and panic attacks, with significant results. I had psycho-surgery.

From 2002-2005, mostly prior to beginning 9/11 research, I researched the effects of sympathetcomy on humans. The culmination was the world’s most comprehensive treatise on the subject. The surgeons who inflict this barbaric nerve damage obviously must lie and conceal the known effects from their prospective patients, otherwise no one in their right mind would ever consent to it.

You may visit this site to learn more about the effects of sympathectomy, and visit this discussion forum to learn that I am not alone. Many people have been victimized by ETS surgery. ETS is the biggest surgical fraud since lobotomy.

I struggle every day in an effort to understand how ETS affects, for example, my judgment. Think about it. How might your judgment change if you were no longer able to experience fear? I was formerly a rather cautious driver. Now, I find myself weaving around other cars on the freeway, and not reacting in the least when another car appears ready to slam into my rear end, or cuts me off.

I believe this is quite relevant to my 9/11 research. Some of the alleged “researchers” are just government ops, seeking only to confuse. But I’m starting to think that the mostly sincere researchers are afraid of the truth. I don’t blame them. The only possible conclusion from 9/11 truth is to abolish the government. Atrocities like 9/11 are what governments do.

I have studied and fully support the so-called “Austrian” school of economics, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard and Hans-Hermann Hoppe. The upshot of this large literature is that government intervention into the economy is always harmful. We do not need it. As Robert LeFevre said, “Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure”.

So there is a solid intellectual reason to not fear a “revolution” or a “Constitutional Crises” that would result from 9/11 truth becoming widely understood.

Still, my personal experience reveals that most alleged 9/11 researchers stop short of the truth. They won’t go “inside the opponents 20 yard line”, to borrow a sports metaphor from Morgan Reynolds. Besides demolition, most likely nuclear demolition, the full truth of 9/11 is that the mainstream media inserted fake airplanes into video and called it “news”.

I’ve proven this. I’m taking the ball into the end zone. Could it be that everyone else is simply afraid, while I am not?
