Simon Shack - Exploits Parallax To Promote Video Fakery

By Mark Conlon

Here's an excellent video analysis of Simon Shack's September Clues "moving buildings" conducted by: YougeneDebs published 16th September, 2009.

This analysis by YougeneDebs demonstrates how Simon Shack "exploits" parallax views to "falsely" promote "video fakery" in the 9/11 video evidence record. Please see analysis video below: 

As we can see in the analysis above, there is conclusive evidence that Simon Shack has knowingly "deceived" people by "exploiting" the parallax perspectives in his September Clues video, even though he was informed about his mistakes regarding the "moving buildings" in his September Clues film. unfortunately Simon Shack ignored this mistake and thus re-issued another version of his September Clues film with same mistake. What more evidence is their to present about Simon Shack's efforts to knowingly "deceive" people with his September Clues film in the name of promoting "video fakery", as it is now clear to see that he has been "deliberately" putting-out falsehoods and disinformation in his videos.

This case is closed!

Good Video Analysis By: "YougeneDebs" of Simon Shack's September Clues - Addendum Film

By Mark Conlon

Here is an excellent video analysis of Simon Shack's - September Clues Addendum film, exposing some of the deliberate "falsehoods" put-out by Simon Shack. Details and video below are from "YougeneDebs" YouTube Channel Published on Oct 18, 2009. Update Note: Unfortunately, this video was removed by YouTube, however I have archived it at my BitChute channel here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/0MKKpjLsBHoY/

  

The video notes below:

This video is an investigation into Simon Shack's claim that a certain helicopter was absent from network footage during the collapse of WTC2. A claim made in his September Clues Addendum Chapter 1.

Now that we have more information about a helicopter in the footage during the collapse of Tower Two, we can make a better judgment about Simon's claim.

Did Simon cut out inconvenient and potentially contradictory facts? It would seem so! What about poor research skills or wilful negligence? I see no effort that Simon tried to find a longer clip of the zoom-in showing a helicopter during the collapse.
 
And finally, did someone tamper with the evidence to bleach out not one, but 2 helicopters? Did Simon have the means, motive, and opportunity? Simon's methods seem to be very impressive, but for all the wrong reasons!

So, Simon, himself, presented Pat the helicopter in live footage during the collapse; completely debunking his own claim; demonstrating once again that Simon publishes in the auto-debunkery genre.

Thank you for watching and caring! 

Simon Shack "Misrepresents" Plane Flight Path in 9/11 Video

By Mark Conlon

In this "brief" analysis I shall demonstrate Simon Shack's "misrepresentation" of Flight 175's "alleged" flight path at 26:10 in his September Clues. 

See below: screen-shot from 26:10 in September Clues.

Simon Shack suggests the plane's flight path is "rising" in the video? After past research conducted into Simon Shack's claims and methods of his presentation of evidence, I questioned whether or not Simon Shack had "accurately" represented the plane's flight path in this video.

Checking the Evidence:

I decided to try and track the plane's "actual" flight path (and not the plane flight path as suggested by Simon Shack in his film). I did this by "overlaying" two different video frames using an "earlier" time-frame and a "later" time frame as the plane travels towards the South Tower. See two screen-shot images below:

In the two screen-shot images above I have "highlighted" the two white boxes in two separate video frames, which I decided to overlay the two video frames on top of each other so we could track the plane's flight path more accurately and have a greater idea of the plane's flight path. See the result below of the two overlaid images:

In the image above I added "red" lines to represent and highlight the plane's angle as it banks when it continued forwards in its flight path. I also added two "yellow" lines to track the plane's engines which helped to "distinguish" clearer the plane's flight path. 

In the image below, I needed to add some more information such as a Datum line (orange/black), which would give a "true" representation and angle to work off, by striking a line through the two buildings in the foreground. I also put a "red" line through the centre of the plane, which also helped to highlight the plane's flight path. See image below:

In the image above it gives us more information to work with which can help determine whether or not the plane's flight path is in a descent or whether it is "rising" as Simon Shack suggested in his film. 

What I did next was to find another video from a different angle which I could apply the same set of highlighting lines to along with a Datum so I could compare. See image below: Please see the highlighting lines Colour Key in the top left corner also in the image.

As you can see from the image above the plane is in a descent, and clearly from the (orange/black) Datum line we can also see that the plane tilts and banks sidewards. See both images for comparison below:

See below: Short video showing the plane's trajectory flight path to be descending NOT elevating like shack will have us believe in his September Clues film.

Analysis Conclusion:

As we can see the plane's flight path was not "rising", but was in a "descent", which has been completely "misrepresented" by Simon Shack in his September Clues film. We can clearly see that comparing both images together with the extra informational lines, we see the plane tilting and banking as it closer to the South Tower before impact, which can be seen consistently in both images above. 

Simon Shack appears to be "exploiting" parallax which is a continuous theme throughout his September Clues films regarding the plane's flight paths. Richard D. Hall's "Flight 175" 3D Radar Analysis proved conclusively that all the plane's flight paths matched in each of the 26 videos sufficient to be analysed from the 53 videos available, thus proving Simon Shack's claims to "false". 

Again, questions are raised about Simon Shack’s presentation of video evidence and the methods he uses in his film September Clues. Is Simon Shack promoting the idea of "video fakery" to discredit the video evidence record of 9/11? When studying Simon Shack’s presentation in his film, it becomes clear that he has continually omitted or misrepresented evidence. From my past analysis, where I have disproved other claims he makes in his film, it is now appearing to be a deliberate pattern of deceptive and misleading behaviour, rather than poor research skills, suggesting an agenda to promote disinformation about the video record on 9/11.  

It appears Simon Shack is overseeing a "Psychological Operation" to promote "video fakery" to lead people away from closely studying other explanations for the 9/11 video evidence. When people believe they have an explanation for the anomalies, it stops them studying the evidence any further. This personally happened to me for several years, and in that respect, Simon Shack’s "Psychological Operation" worked, as I didn’t continue to study closely, because I thought I had the answers… How wrong I was.

9/11 Airplane Video Compositing & Luma Key Theory DEBUNKED!

By Mark Conlon

In this analysis I’m going to explore Ace Baker's theory he proposes in his blogspot article video he published on the 27th May 2008, entitled - "Theory of Live 9/11 Airplanes Composites" and also in a later version which he included in his 2012 film entitled - "9/11 The Great American Psy-Opera". They both explain how he believes video compositing was used on 9/11 to "insert" in real-time, a flying airplane into the Fox News "Chopper 5" video. I will primarily be focusing my analysis on his later film - Chapter 7, called "The Key" from "9/11 The Great American Psy-Oprah". 

http://acebaker.blogspot.co.uk/2008/05/theory-of-live-911-airplane-composites.html

See below: Ace Baker's Theory of Live 9/11 Airplane Composites video:

In Ace Baker's 2012 film 'The 9/11 The Great American Psy-Opera' - Chapter 7 "The Key", he explains how he believes a "fake" airplane was "inserted" into the Fox News "Chopper 5" footage using live video compositing layering techniques and "Luma Keying".

Ace Baker also explains what went wrong with the infamous "nose-out" anomaly captured in the Fox News "Chopper 5" video footage, as (Flight 175) plane's nose "exits" the South Tower building still "intact", which is physically impossibly. See below: The famous "nose-out" shot.

While I do agree that it is a physical impossibility for the plane's nose to exit the South Tower building with its nose still "intact", I do NOT agree with Ace Baker's explanation of this impossible anomaly captured in the Fox News video footage, because of the "technical issue" which Ace Baker has chosen to "omit" which makes his explanation invalid.  

So, we can thoroughly understand why the "technical issue" arises, which makes his theory invalid, I will first briefly explain Ace Baker's "theory". 

Firstly, Ace Baker proposes that there are some "necessary" attributes which would make live video compositing possible and allow the insertion of a "fake", computer animated, airplane into the live video.
 
The attributes are:

• High contrast between tower and sky
• Steady camera with no panning, tilting, or zooming
• Airplane path is across sky only
• Airplane disappears across straight vertical edge
• "Impact" wall is hidden
• No shadows required  

Ace states that, "Absent any one of these attributes, inserting a "fake" airplane becomes "impossible".

See short video excerpt below from Ace Baker's film explaining Compositing, Layering and Luma keying.

Now we are familiar and understand Ace Baker's theory and explanation he proposes in his film of how they "inserted" a fake airplane into the Fox News "Chopper 5" video, we can look at the "technical issue" which makes his theory invalid. 

Technical Issue Explained...

The "technical issue" in Ace Baker's theory is the use of a "Luma Key" for the purpose of adding a "fake" plane into the live video footage, which cannot be reproduced as seen in the live Fox News "Chopper 5" video footage of the 2nd plane impact. The technical issue proves that "Luma Key" was NOT used in the live Fox News "Chopper5" footage as Ace Baker has "alleged". Please refer to the images below as I continue to explain the technical issues. 

If a Luma Key had been used in the live Fox News "Chopper 5" video, the exiting "nose" of the alleged "inserted" fake airplane in the 2nd (middle) composited layer would be "visible" on top of (and in front of) the "explosion" exiting the tower which is the 3rd (bottom) layer, which is the "original" Fox News video.

The reason for this is, the "Luma Key" works off of the luminance (brightness) within the video signal. In order to see an airplane animation that has been sandwiched in between two duplicate layers of video from the same camera feed (3 layers altogether), the (top) 1st layer would require portions of the image to be cut out, revealing the added airplane layer underneath in the 2nd (middle) layer. When this is done using a "Luma Key", a predetermined luminance (brightness) threshold (limit) is set which will prevent any portion of the video image from showing that is brighter than that brightness threshold setting, making those brighter portions disappear completely, and in this case, the brightness threshold would have to be set to a point where it would eliminate the entire sky background (of the 1st (top) layer only) while leaving the darker Twin Towers intact to act as the mask for the plane to disappear behind.

The biggest issue here is that the explosion that erupts from the opposite side of the South Tower, is as bright as the sky threshold Luma Key setting, which means that the explosion would "disappear" just as the sky does because of "Luma Key" threshold setting on that 1st (top) layer, which would reveal the 2nd layer behind it which supposedly contains the fake "inserted" plane and its protruding nose. Which should've looked like this image below:

The fact that the explosion does "NOT" disappear, and we observe it covering and obscuring the plane's "nose", is conclusive proof that a "Luma Key" was not used in the Fox News "Chopper 5" video footage

Below: is a video made by someone who goes under the name 'Saul train'. He explains "excellently" far better than I can why the South Tower explosion should "disappear" in the Fox News "Chopper 5" video footage if a "Luma Key" was used to "insert" a fake plane using compositing and layering. The fact the explosion didn't disappear in the news footage demonstrates thoroughly that Ace Baker's "Luma Key" theory is invalid.

This case is now closed!!! 

The "POD" Theory - Real or Perception Management to Cover-up "No-Planes" on 9/11...?

By Mark Conlon

Here's an analysis I have done in relation to the alleged "POD" attachment theory of an "external" piece of equipment attached to the belly of the "Flight 175" plane, captured in many of the 9/11 videos before impacting the South Tower. This was first suggested by some prominent 9/11 researchers in 2003-04 and over the years it has become a hot topic for debate, and still is today in 2017. 

My reasons for my analysis:

Over the last 4 years of investigating the "no-planes" theory and video evidence of 9/11, I have come to learn and understand of a "Psychological Operation" which appears to involve certain 9/11 researchers whose aim is to cast doubt in people’s minds over the authenticity of the 9/11 video evidence, especially in relation to the videos of "Flight 175" crashing into the South Tower, in particular the Michael Hezarkhani video. It has been my quest to expose those "falsehoods" which have been circulated far and wide across the internet by various 9/11 researchers' "past and present" and highlight the disinformation which they have been promulgating and unravel the "Psy-Op" and expose it for what it is.

Below I outline how the "POD" theory has been managed and promoted in its early conception, thus implanting into peoples' minds a "false" debate but also misdirecting their attention away from some very important evidence contained in the videos.

"Perception management" - What does history tell us...?

For a long time, I didn't pay attention to what was happening in the 2nd plane videos because initially my attention was drawn and focused on the suggestion of a "POD" attachment on the plane, put forward by the various 9/11 researchers' such as, Phil Jayhan at his "Let’s Roll" forum, and also Dave Von Kleist who promoted it in his film "In Plane Site" in 2004.

Phil Jayhan - was an early promoter of the "POD" theory in 2003

 

Interestingly, Phil Jayhan was against any talk of the "no-plane" theory, and would often exclude people from his forum for suggesting such a theory according to James Sloan of The Real News Online.Com. Yet Jayhan later went on to support Simon Shack and his September Clues film, believing the 9/11 videos were CGI and Fake. Jayhan wrote on his forum posted; 17 May 2012 , 02:54 AM - "I want to thank Simon Shack for his time and dedication in making this most astounding 9/11 video. It is a compilation of his own research and his forum members, and other 9/11 Illuminaries who saw the hoax of 9/11 long before I, and long before most".

  

Dave Von Kleist - 9/11 In Plane Site: Director’s Cut Film 2004

Dave Von Kleist promoted the "POD" theory in his film as early as 2004 and also in his later film in 2007 - 9/11 Ripple Effect. He was also against the possibility of "no-planes" being involved on 9/11. (Disclaimer: I am not suggesting DVK was circulating disinformation).

Loose Change: 1st Edition - Promoting the "POD" Theory in 2005  

Dylan Avery promoted the "POD" theory in his 1st Edition of the "Loose Change" film but didn't include it in the 2nd edition of the film. Also, out of bounds for discussion on the "Loose Change" forum was the topic of "no-planes". 

The "POD" theory was also accepted by many in the 9/11 Truth-Movement, which turned-out to be managed and "controlled" which was also being steered in a direction by various people who have been shown to be concealing truths rather than exposing them such as; Alex Jones, Steve E. Jones, Richard Gage and Jim Fetzer. 

Rebekah Roth: "POD" & "Trick Photography" 

Even today we still hear people implanting the idea of a "POD" attached to the plane and also "video fakery" to explain the strange and unusual lack of "crash physics". Here's Rebekah Roth during an interview on "Coast to Coast AM" talking about a "Pod" attached to the plane, however also suggesting "video fakery" ("Trick Photography") as the answer to explain the now obvious lack of "crash physics" as the alleged plane impacted the South Tower building. Here is the excerpt from interview: https://vid.me/IbSKZ

Rebekah Roth's comments contradicts her own theory that "remote controlled" planes were used to strike the towers because she still cannot explain the lack of "crash physics" other than say she thought it was "Trick Photography" which still does not explain the many eyewitnesses who seen the plane hit the South Tower. Plus, how would they control every video and photograph taken of the event in NYC? Or is Rebekah Roth like many others I've written about, intending to implant the idea of the planes story on 9/11 along with the "video fakery" psy-op to "cover-up" a secret advanced "image projection" technology, which could reasonably account for all of the relevant anomalies mentioned above, and the eyewitness accounts who observed a plane hitting the South Tower? 

Image Projection Vs Video Fakery: Pros & Cons...

Using an "image projection" technology would solve any issues around needing to control "all" of the video and photographic evidence, as there wouldn't be any need, as people would've videoed and photographed the image of a plane, rather than the theory of using "video fakery" which would need to have control over all the videos and photographs along with the inserting the plane into every video and photograph. Plus, there is always a possibility that a "rogue" video or photograph could slip through the net showing no-plane at all. Something which hasn't happen up to now 16 years on.  

Don't look there, look over here....

Effectively I was prevented from observing such anomalies in the surrounding peripheral areas of the video footage of 2nd plane videos, because of the initial emphasis placed upon the "POD". I consider this a "deliberate" distraction which worked well on me and many others for a long time. 

See my analysis below:

After conducting extensive analysis on many videos and photographs I now have reached the conclusion that we were observing the "wing fairings" on the plane, and not a "POD" as suggested by many 9/11 researchers'.

A major flaw which needs to be considered is the "Landing Gear"...

There is one vital flaw in the argument for the "POD" theory attachment which is never acknowledged or really discussed, and that is the "storage area" of the "Landing Gear" which is the area around by the wing fairings and the alleged "POD" attachment. If the "POD" was attached it would've prevented the landing gear to extend and retract when landing and taking-off. See video below showing the landing gear's location and the retraction phase, when the plane is taking-off.

 The fuselage bulges out where the wings join it. This is called the wing fairing. The landing gear assembly folds into this area when it is retracted, which causes a problem if the alleged "POD" is a "missile" launcher as suggested by some 9/11 researchers. See Images below:

Conclusion: 

After extensive analysis into the "Pod" theory and finding-out its origins and analysing the videos and photographic evidence, I am now of the opinion at this current time, that the "POD" theory was put-out to distract peoples' attention away from studying all of the video content contained in the 2nd plane videos, thus, having the desired effect to "misdirect" peoples' attention away from studying or noticing the surrounding areas of the videos where anomalies such as the "disappearing wings" were visible and the lack of any noticeable plane "crash physics". This is "classic misdirection", look over here so to speak, done to conceal other damming evidence contained in the videos which needed concealing because it might have exposed that "no-planes" were involved on 9/11, hence why "video fakery" was introduced around 2004 as another "cover-story" to manage anyone who questioned the anomalies in the 2nd plane videos. My question still remains; what were we seeing in the videos of "Flight 175"?

Thanks for reading!

9/11 Planes, Layers of Deception

By Mark Conlon

I appeared on Rich Planet TV show to talk about my research into the alleged video fakery of Flight 175 videos. This show was broadcast on 9/9/2017.

You can watch the show here, which is in three parts, see below: 

Part One: https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=244&part=1&gen=99

Part Two: https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=244&part=2&gen=99

Part Three: https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=244&part=3&gen=99

Show Notes:

9/11 was a global psychological operation which deceived over half of the world, in which the effects on display were not caused by what most people were lead to believe. If you believe the official story, then you really need to leave the human race and go and live in a flange of baboons. Working out what really happened has been a difficult journey for most honest researchers. This is because there are as many "muddle up merchants" operating in 9/11 research as there are genuine truth seekers. The muddle up merchants have been trying to discredit all of the video footage, some of which provides clues to what really happened. Evidence that passenger jet planes were used in any of the four attacks is slim to non existent. Today Richard is joined by Mark Conlon and Andrew Johnson who dispel some of the dis-information and hence get closer to the truth on the 9/11 plane issue.

Many thanks for watching!
