01:30 It was non-stop Michael Jackson news everywhere. There was a lot of that, but the story that got my attention is this this lone wolf story. Oh boy, I've deconstructed it actually. Well I'd like you to do that, but let's go over the story first and let me just tell you what I don't even know. To me it's like it's so stupid. Well I have a couple clips and actually this was my lead story. Because we were so expertly set up for this. So expertly set up. And I actually had to... How's that? How do you see we were expertly set up? I don't think this story is even catching on. Oh yeah, yeah, no it is. I mean it's problematic because the Michael Jackson stuff is live and you know, people are more interested in that. But yeah, we... What?
02:21 What? Have you looked at these... this guy... I don't know where this came from. He's not real. That's a Facebook photo they found somewhere and they just... No, no, no. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about these airplanes. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. They have a picture of the guy behind a drum kit. and they pulled it from Facebook. No, I'm talking about the model plane. Yes, I know! And they have a picture of the guy who was set up by the FBI. Well, I'm not concerned about that. I have pictures. Reuters has outstanding photos of these planes. I would like you to explain to me as the aviator how these things are supposed to get off the ground. Okay, first of all, let me tell you how we were set up. And I went to the show notes and I went back to August 8th
03:03 8th, 2011, perfect, two months ago. Do you remember the story, John, of the hacker conference in Vegas when these two shills who work for a government contractor came out and said, it's so easy to build your own drone at home! Do you remember this? It was called WASP, the Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform. Remember this? At the Black Hat Computer Security Conference? Come on, tell me. Go on, this is not impressing me. Okay, so this is where it all started. This is where the seed was planted in your mind and it was everywhere. Everyone was talking about, ooh, wow, it's so easy to build a drone, build a drone, so easy to build a drone.
03:44 And then we have 60 Minutes earlier this week, 60 Minutes where they talk to Kelly, the police commissioner of the New York, well they call it police department but it's actually an army, a full army. Here's a little quote from him. Are you satisfied that you've dealt with threats from aircraft, even light planes, model planes, that kind of thing? There you go. He goes on to say that he can, well I'll tell you what he says, but light planes, model airplanes, it's all a setup, it's a complete setup for this. Just listen to 30 seconds of his answer because apparently he has all kinds of capability. Well, it's something that's on our radar screen. I mean in an extreme situation we would have some means to take down a plane.
04:33 Do you mean to say that the NYPD has the means to take down an aircraft? Yes, I'd prefer not to get into the details, but obviously this would be in a very extreme situation. You have the equipment and the training. Yes, yes I got everything I need. Now we have to listen to the report from the compromised mainstream media news sources to actually pull apart what this is about and as an aviator I'm not a remote control aviator, I'm not a hobbyist but I did of course do the logical thing which is go look at the specifications of said airplanes
05:10 And there's two kinds the pictures that were shown. We're kind of got mixed up. There's the $5,000 Carbon fiber version Which, uh, these things can go like 200 miles an hour, so they have a real jet engine in it. And then they have the Styrofoam model, which, which some stations were showing the Styrofoam model, which does probably about 30 miles an hour, and you can't do much with it. If you threw that against the Pentagon, it would do well. It'd just splat into a little piece of Styrofoam poop. But we have to listen to the report to really pick it apart because the wording is fantastic. 26-year-old Reswan Furtis went by the name Bollywood when he played in a Massachusetts band. But US officials say the drummer is also a self-radicalized jihadist intent on attacking Americans in the US and overseas. Furtis was arrested this morning and now faces charges of plotting attacks and supporting a foreign terrorist organization.
06:09 Furtis was arrested after he bought what he believed to be 25 pounds of plastic explosives, three grenades and six automatic assault rifles from undercover FBI agents posing as Al Qaeda operatives. I like that. The undercover FBI agents posing as Al Qaeda operatives which is by the way it's their moonlight job anyway. Over the past nine months agents recorded multiple conversations in which Furtis laid out plans for an aerial attack. He bought one small drone aircraft. for the F-86 that was depicted. You can buy these. It's a kit and it's, you have to put it together yourself. It's got a real turbine engine and it is about 1-6 scale model and it's not a drone, okay? It's not a drone. Drone is something completely different. It's a model airplane where you basically have to see this thing to be able to fly it. And plan to buy others which he then allegedly hoped to fill with explosives and fly
07:19 and flying to the Pentagon and the US Capitol from this Washington Park along the Potomac River. Okay, a couple of problems. Are you still with me, John? Yeah, I'm listening. Couple of problems. Fill it with explosives. Now they were talking about 25 pounds of C4. I doubt you could even put 4 pounds of C4 according to the specs that I'm reading. And it seems unlikely you can put anything. Those things are designed to run with zero additional weight. Exactly. Besides that, you kind of have to see it to be able to steer it. I've looked all over the hobbyist forums and there's no cameras in these things. No, but also people have tried to fly it with automatic GPS. The GPS will then basically make it fly a certain route and come back. I have not been able to find any successful attempts of such an event. Moreover, C4 is very stable explosives.
08:13 C4 doesn't, you know, you can throw that against the wall, it's not just going to explode. So it'd have to have some form of detonator. Well, they have changed the story. Ah, okay, good. What have you heard in the change? They had the original story was he was just going to let it crash into the Pentagon and the entire Pentagon somehow was going to blow up from a mere 24 pounds of C4. I don't know if he knows how big the Pentagon is. Well, he took pictures of it, the bastard, that lone wolf, self-radicalized, horrible man. They changed the story in the later reports from Reuters. Now he had designed a cell phone triggering mechanism that was supposedly tested in Afghanistan and killed four soldiers, whereby he commented that this is great. There's more to the story.
09:03 He traveled to Washington to do surveillance, snapping this picture of the Pentagon. It's called being a tourist, by the way. Now being a tourist taking pictures in Washington is called doing surveillance. Officials stress at no time was Furtis outside the control of his undercover handlers. Love that phrase, handlers. Now what do we always understand a handler to be? A CIA guy. Yeah, but a handler is someone who actually... Who tells you what to do. Yes, manages you, exactly. And these, I believe, the way the report goes, are the government's words. So in that sense he presented no actual danger. But he repeatedly told the agents that he was driven to kill Americans, which he called enemies of Allah. He told the undercover's quote, I just can't stop. There is no other choice for me.
09:50 Ferd is a US citizen, has a college degree in physics and apparently some proficiency when it comes to building explosive devices. We're told in the course of the investigation, officials say he converted eight cell phones into detonators which he thought were being used to trigger IEDs against US soldiers serving in Iraq. Bob, I wonder, since the FBI agents supplied the weapons as part of the Sting operation, what are the chances that Furtis will claim that he was in trap? Yes! Well, he's going to try, Scott, but the agents say that over a period of months they gave him multiple opportunities to back out. Here we go again. Now listen to this, listen to what their back out opportunity was. They would say, hey you might kill innocents. He was intent on going forward saying he didn't care. He saw it as his duty. Thank you, Bob. Hey, you know, you might want to stop because you might like kill people.
10:36 So did you, uh, one of the things I did is I went to Willow and looked at the guy's house. Oh really? Okay, cool. Yeah. He actually lives on 22 Coburn Street in Ashland, Massachusetts and people can look it up for themselves. He lives in a $560,000 pretty big place that is in an area that's very heavily, it's a beautiful area. Wooded, it's probably the prices of housing is not that great there and it's probably a million dollar mansion anyplace else. It makes no sense to me
11:12 that coming out of this this issue and all the pictures taken of these jets seem to be taken in some sort of a suburban environment not near his house which is very yes you can see what I'm and by the way notice the subtle playboy advertising on one of these jets with the playboy funny on the tail that's because that playboy new TV series isn't doing too well they need to find me a spec of it of that I have the spec. I have the spec. It's you can give me what's the wingspan? What's the length cuz this thing is huge now that they are about that size Videos of those things flying and they're not that big well, this is because you're seeing the picture of the styrofoam version
11:53 Because you're right the ones that the the jets that that are the carbon fiber that fly 200 miles an hour are not that big the styrofoam ones are that big and they basically have like a kind of a Ram air duct type engine system in it you can think is the size of a small car look at the car next I know No, I'm I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm not disagreeing. I'm only saying that that this is a, they're showing you a model that looks really big but one that actually can't do the job even if it was possible. The smaller ones are the ones that could maybe do it, but then again you can't pack 25 pounds of C4 into them. The whole thing is clearly a ruse. They have one guy who comes out and says, yeah, you know, he lived with me, but I'm not going to vilify him. So, you know, he just, we lived together for a few years. He's my roommate. And then he went on his merry way. That's all I'm going to say.
12:47 Nothing. And by the way, they don't talk to any remote control hobbyists or any about any any of the real possibilities of this happening. Is it a complete setup? A setup to get more control, more of the army or the US military drones in the skies so we can protect against these crazy homemade drones. This is the meme, homemade drones. The whole thing is barley. It's not really homemade, it's been engineered by somebody. No, no, it's a kit. You buy the kit. I have it, it's all in the show notes. I've got the links to the kit site and everything. It's about $5,000. You have to put it together yourself.
13:23 It literally doesn't need no mention of all about a payload because it can't really carry a payload But the carbon fiber ones can can get up to you know about two 200 miles an hour the one you're seeing the styrofoam one that's a kit for about $400 it's totally bogus the whole thing from beginning to end is bogus and I I don't think this guy is even real and He just posted some Facebook picture, some grainy picture of some dude behind drums. Yeah, I know, it doesn't make any lot of sense. And then this house he lives in doesn't make any sense either. No. Also, what is the deal with the... He's also supposed to have six buddies. They're all going to grab AK-47s for some... Yeah, this is really smart. Yeah, this will work.
14:07 And do what? We're gonna attack. You know, I think they need to, you know, whoever's behind this bullcrap, they need to get better writers. I mean, this is not even remotely believable. And what they'll do- It just sounds like the ravings of a lunatic. Oh, we're gonna- I'm gonna- First, I'm gonna blow up the Pentagon with 25 pounds of explosives, which seems highly unlikely. And C4, by the way, is not that much more explosive than TNT and 25 pounds of- And it doesn't blow up on- You can shoot into C4 and it won't blow up. That's the trigger mechanism. We got him covered. But then he's gonna do what? Take over the place with six guys in AK-47s? And a flag.
