The Truth-for-9/11 research community appears divided over the issue of the alleged cell phone calls made from the doomed flights that awful September day. The official story of course relies on these calls as 'proof' that the alleged hijackings did indeed happen as they say they did. Not one of the calls has been verified through itemized phone bills or other such records.
Some in the research community believe that the calls were faked, whereas others believe they must be real; and only the debunkers, defangers and dividers of the movement would claim that they were faked in an effort to divide the movement from the community of 9/11 victims. There's no doubt that to these victims, these calls represent a last-ditch effort on the part of a few of the victims of the doomed flights to call for help.
At issue here is whether it is really possible for someone to receive a phone call from a loved one or someone he knows well, that in fact is from an imposter, and come away believing that the call was genuine. I wish to relate here my own experiences with that. I have had two such experiences, and my godson has had at least one.
I am a professional life coach. My clients have included ex-drug users who are trying to rebuild their lives, and escape from the cult-like clutches of the drug world. To one such person, whom I'll call Willie (not his real name), I allowed a few years ago to stay in my house for a few months for various personal and logistical reasons. I had known Willie for a few years prior to that and needless to say, got to know him well. Willie then moved on, with his wife and children, to an apartment in a town near Spokane (not the real locale). Shortly thereafter there was a fire in that apartment, and Willie saved his wife and kids but was badly burned himself. Some friends and I, first hearing the news, were considering what we could do to help Willie and his family, when I received a call from who sounded like Willie, claimed to be Willie, assuring me that he was only slightly hurt and 'everything is fine and we dont need your help'. This notwithstanding the fact, as we verified later, that the real Willie was at that moment on a Medevac helicopter on the way to a burn unit at a Seattle hospital. But until we found out about that, I believed the phony phone call.
My second experience involved a call from the landlord of another client, an ex-user. I was well acquainted with Nathan (not his real name) the landlord. 'He' called and asked a lot of questions about my client; questions that to answer would border on violating my ethic of confidentiality to my client even if he were his landlord. Although he sounded just like Nathan, my suspicions were aroused, and I refused to answer the questions. I verified later that not only was it not Nathan, there was no way that he could have called at the time the phony call took place.
Who had perpetrated these phony calls? Drug dealers in my community knew well what I stood for and so did many users. To defeat my efforts on what they perceive to be their 'customers', some have committed various harassing acts. For them to find people that sounded like Willie and Nathan on the phone would be no trouble at all.
Here is my point. The perpetrators in my case were small-town, small-time drug dealers; yet they successfully fooled me for a while. How much more capable are the perpetrators of 9/11 to find people to fool almost anybody?
None of the alleged cell phone calls from the 9/11 flights have been verified. All of the calls, save Barbara Olson's, were to third parties who then passed on the information to loved ones. It is nearly impossible to make a call from a cell phone in an airplane in flight. The reasons have to do with the laws of physics. No one, not even the 'American Empire', can rewrite Maxwell's Equations! As for using the Airphone as it is claimed that Barbara Olson did, that would not have worked if in fact the planes were hijacked through the "Home Run' systems. The one issue that those who would cling to the official story would use is that one would not be fooled by a call from a loved one or one he or she knew well. I am here to say: dont be so sure about that. I was fooled by a call from a landline, not a cell phone or an Airphone, and it would even be easier for an imposter to get away with it in a situation where he or she was in great danger, such as allegedly sneaking a call from almost under a hijacker's nose!
