In many Readers Minds Questions remain about TWA flight 800
I couldn’t believe the NBC Today show actually dug up retired local FBI head James Calstrohm from the crypt this morning (Thursday, 6/20/2013) to defend his indefensible 1996 investigation. He appeared immediately after a credible and well-informed critic of his investigation who called Calstrohm out by name. In response, Calstrohm was his usual condescending, oafish self, indiscriminately insulting anyone who would dare to question the FBI’s investigation or its foolish conclusions.
The thing I remember most about Calstrohm from the months after the TWA flight 800 accident were these three words that he uttered in anger and frustration to a caller to Bob Grant’s radio program on ABC (who was complaining loudly to Bob about the utter garbage the US government was trying to fob off on us at to the cause of this accident): “Get a Life!”.
At the time the TWA flight 800 investigation was thrust in Calstrohm’s lap in the summer of 1996, all Calstrohm had been planning to do was retire quietly from the FBI. The fact that he was forced to carry Clinton’s water to prevent him from going down in flames in his re-election bid was clearly chapping Calstrohm’s a$$. Of course, my heart bled for him as I dutifully played the worlds smallest violin.
This event (the corrupt TWA flight 800 investigation) demonstrated to all who had eyes to see and ears to hear that the US government was ready, willing, and able to lie to its people in a big way. Since Clinton’s successful re-election bid, the lies have only been getting bigger, and the damage they cause, more and more calamitous. When are the American people going to finally stand up and effectively defend their country against these depredations?
This was a proven design. The accident happenned in 1996. THese planes were originally flown commercially around 1970. This was 26 years and a few million flight hours on hundreds of planes later. There is NO WAY there is a problem with the fuel tanks. It was an easy ‘out’ to close the case. As a pilot, I never believed this as a cause and always believed it to be a bomb or a missle.
Don’t forget, this happened just months before Bill Clinton’s presidential re-election. Do you think a Clinton would try to cover something up? And witnesses claimed at the time that they saw the arc of a missile.
people are talking . they are tired of all the bs from up top.
