This just came out from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas.

Research shows that when people perceive they have no control over a given situation, they are more likely to see illusions, patterns where none exist and even believe in conspiracy theories. The study suggests that people impose imaginary order when no real order can be perceived.

"People see false patterns in all types of data," says Jennifer Whitson, one of the authors of the report, "...This suggests that lacking control leads to a visceral need for order — even imaginary order."

Here's a little more detail from a site called news-medical.net/?id=41844

New research suggests that the reason why people carry out rituals such as touching wood or wearing a 'lucky' item or some other behavior, is because they are experiencing a loss of control in their lives.

This prayer if prayed with extreme passion, works on an alchemical level. We are the authors of creation. Let's use that power.

Use This and Change the World...and Yourself
The Prayer

Being that we are all intimately connected by our common inheritance of shared life on one planet and that our common shared higher intelligence governs life in both seen and unseen ways, and being that this common ancestry has its roots in cosmic intelligence or mind, and being that we therefore incarnate with this shared higher intelligence, we share its creative power as well. We are imbued with this creativity and its commonality.

I thought I'd post this stirring and inspiring speech by playwright Harold Pinter upon the occasion of his Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005.

From the last paragraphs in the speech:

"I believe that despite the enormous odds which exist, unflinching, unswerving, fierce intellectual determination, as citizens, to define the real truth of our lives and our societies is a crucial obligation which devolves upon us all. It is in fact mandatory.
If such a determination is not embodied in our political vision we have no hope of restoring what is so nearly lost to us - the dignity of man."

We need spiritual food in this important 911 truth voyage, and Pinter serves it up as good as anything I've heard from anybody.
Thanks to Maria Gilardin of http://tucradio.org for hosting this and many other fine broadcasts.

Anatomy Of A SWAT From A Lawyer’s Perspective

Found this article from SCOOP Independent News, Tuesday, 26 April 2005, 11:32 am
Opinion: Guest Opinion. I Thought the appropriateness of these insights could undoubtedly benefit our movement and the
any legal strategy endorsed or considered by us. The link was found at http://solari.com

Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi, one of the most influential figures in modern social and political activism, considered these traits to be the most spiritually perilous to humanity. [2]

Serendipity once again stepped into my life. I caught Paula Nelson's Band in Alpine Texas last night. The band is quite good and Paula has a great voice.

At break time I approached her and introduced myself as a member of http://ae911truth.org and asked her if she agreed with her dad's brave public statements questioning the official story of 9/11. She said she most certainly agreed with her dad and thanked me for our work. She took a bunch of ae911truth DVDs and said she'd get one to her dad. She also said she'd be willing to do an interview about her views on 9/11. She is friendly sweet very talented and joyful. Willie could be very proud. Video up as soon as I can.

Pacifica’s Dennis Bernstein To Host more 911 Truth Stories

Radio station KPFA, a Pacifica affiliate in Berkeley California, has an award winning show on the afternoons called Flashpoints, hosted by long time radio producer and author, Dennis Bernstein
http://www.flashpoints.net/
On February 6, Dennis aired portions of the Michael Parenti talk that first appeared here at 911blogger. Parenti’s attack on the Bush lies around the events of September 11, 2001 were included in the broadcast. According to the Flashpoints web site; “Investigative reporter, radio host, human rights advocate and poet Dennis Bernstein is a regular contributor to Pacifica's Democracy Now, and Associate Producer of Pacific News Service. He is currently cohost of KPFA's Flashpoints News Magazine, and is a frequent commentator on WBAI airwaves.”

Embracing and holding the thought of energetically calling for the release of the acceleration of the energies that nourish and spark personal transformation.

I believe that this is a key to healing and improving things, all over.

This is the primary thought I held as I welcomed in the New Year. My wife, who is an expert at positive prayer said ; “Every powerful emotion is a prayer “. The thoughts we hold that we hold with powerful conviction are the ones that usually get implemented.
What higher prayer can there be than to know the truth? Truth is the powerful medicine our country needs right now more than any policies, or politician.
We are all doing our parts to bring this about in the 9/11 Truth Movement. Our movement is vital to this nation and the globe because it is about acknowledging the basis for all healthy action. We can see the result of actions that are based on untruths: invaded countries, slaughtered citizenry, a trampled Constitution, torture and general despair. We have an important answer to these problems.

The Truth Sign is up again after its debut at this year's Burning Man. It now lives on its temporary home on a ranch in Marin County California. We plan to do further experiments with cutting thick structural steel, including using an new thermate cutter charge to slice through a piece of 2" thick plate steel...similar in thickness to the structural steel used on World Trade buildings 1 & 2. We will keep you posted about this event. We are also working on our short TruthBurn video documentary about why the sign was built. Plans include contacting various outdoor galleries to host the sign. The video, once completed, will accompany the sign. Dr. Steven jones has been using burnt thermate samples from our Burning Man event to compare to WTC thermite residue. The similarities are astonishing.

Just got this in from Dr. Jones.
Dr. Jones said he used these comparisons (images) in a recent lecture in Connecticut

Here's an interesting link about a defense contractor that makes linear charges for the military. Their other products are interesting to look at.

and this re: nano-explosives as applied to nano-composite exothermic reactions

Excerpt from link -

Scientists at Texas Tech University made a nanocomposite of
aluminum and iron oxide (Fe2O3) that reacts exothermically when
ignited. The material could have applications in explosives or
as an energy source in micro-electro-mechanical systems devices or
in space. The researchers made a honeycomb-like alumina template by
electrochemical anodization of an aluminum foil in an acid. They
were able to tailor the diameter of the template’s pores by
altering the voltage and the acid used, producing pores between
10 and 150 nanometers (nm). The team then electrodeposited iron

William Rodriguez gave a stirring talk about his experiences during the collapse of the North Tower on Sept 11, 2001. William also covered the international appearances and wide press coverage he's received , especially in Central America, while on his speaking tour. Once again, Carol Brouillet scores a 10 for putting this event together with Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance.

On hand were Cindy Sheehan and Peter Dale Scott.

Electron microscopy reveals similarities to WTC thermite residue.
Dr. Steven Jones just turned in these electron microscope images of thermite residue from the September 2, 2007 TruthBurn demonstration at Burning Man. Iron rich spheres that look very similar to WTC iron spheres were revealed by the powerful microscope at Jones' lab. An analysis is forthcoming.
Image from Burning Man sample

A short video of the reaction that produced these samples can be found at http://911truthburn.blogspot.com The TruthBurn art event was a memorial to all 911 victims, an attempt to demonstrate the steel cutting powers of thermite, its probable use in the controlled demolition of all 3 WTC buildings and to foster more discussion on the important work of ae911truth.The sign is now having a second life as a magnet for 911 Truth ideas. We are open to outstanding ideas for its use.

This image is from a WTC sample submitted to Dr. Jones.

Today, Sunday, Sept 30, a well attended Petaluma Progressive Festival featured two 911 truth booths, one was hosted by John Parulis of Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth the other by noted 911 filmmaker Ken Jenkins. Dozens of people stopped by to talk about ae911truth and architect Richard Gage's organizing effort. A large piece of steel that we cut through with thermite at Burning Man was also on display along with samples of solidified iron residue from the thermite reaction. Dr. Steven Jones is now analyzing some of these Burning Man samples to compare them to WTC samples.
Local TV Station channel 26 in Marin County took our latest DVD to broadcast on Marin Cable TV.
A mini documentary of our themite demonstration at Burning Man is in the works.
