How Wikipedia Lies<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

Did you know that Vice President Dick Cheney admitted that on 11 September 2001 he, as President George W. Bush\u2019s brief stand-in during the 9\/11 attacks that hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, issued an order (and it was carried out) to shoot down United Airlines Flight 93 while it was in the air near Pittsburgh? If what he said at the time was true, then the standard \u2018historical\u2019 account of the plane\u2019s having been brought down as a result of action by the passengers, would be concocted, not history at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the video-clip of V.P. Cheney on 9\/11, making this claim and explaining why he gave that order: <\/span><\/p>\n

The Wikipedia article on Flight 93<\/span><\/a> provides the standard account, and fails even so much as just to mention the Vice President\u2019a assertion and explanation that he provided on national TV at the time of the 9\/11 events.<\/span><\/p>\n

So: I edited the Wikipedia article by adding a sentence at the end of its opening paragraph, and by following that sentence with a brief second paragraph, and here is that entire two-sentence addition:<\/span><\/p>\n

Vice President Dick Cheney alleged that he gave the order to shoot down Flight 93, and explained why when asked about it by Chris Wallace of Fox News as shown in this film-clip: <\/i>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7vV3fjfeb9Q&list=PLOg2tzhKRd4j-yNHID9_Ru3MWe-VwwCxl&index=4<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Consequently, the account given below of what brought the plane down \u2014 an account inconsistent with what Cheney said \u2014 could be entirely false. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

On the web browser that I was using, the addition showed as having been successfully made in the Wikipedia article. However, to be sure, I opened the URL in a different browser, and this time my addition was absent. I then went back to the \u201cEdit\u201d page\u201d and this time to the \u201cView history\u201d page, and clicked there on \u201c(talk)\u201d and found this message, which I saw virtually immediately after I had thought that I had inserted the new information:<\/span><\/p>\n
