Late night de-de-debunking anyone? Or, learning is fun!

An unregistered user with the moniker "Pirate" posted this comment on another thread:

... my neo-con friend sent me this.... http://www.lolinfowars.co.nr/

Someone needs to address their points.... they have an explanation for everything....

They do indeed. Seriously, they even cover "multiple wargames." Rather, they link to someone else's explanation. Pirate's document is only in PDF format (really fun to work with and copy links for reference). I don't have the time to pick over the whole thing, especially when Pirate's post smells like waste-of-time or promote-my-site bait (notice how Pirate didn't bother to address even one thing from the paper he linked to?), so I scanned the document a bit and when I got to the "World Trade Center is able to withstand a 707 impact" claim I decided to check it out in more detail.

The Fifth Anniversary Of 9/11

By Jon Gold and Wendi Polinow
9/11/2006

I just took part in two of the most amazing days of my life. Yesterday, I was sitting on blogger, and I saw a report about Cooper Union from Radical Pragmatist. It came to me that maybe it was important for me to be there to lend support. Wendi Polinow and I were planning on going up this morning, but I asked if she wanted to go yesterday, and she gladly said ok.

Within about an hour and a half, we were "on the road again" (a song that Wendi brought up, and stuck in my head). We had lunch at Roy Rogers on the New Jersey Turnpike. We arrived at the Plaza Hotel in Secaucus New Jersey at about 2pm. We checked in, and headed out for Manhattan.

I hadn't ridden a bus in a long time, so when we were sitting at the bus stop, the song, "Magic Bus" from The Who popped into my head. The bus took us to the Port Authority, which was this massive underground complex. Let it be known, I give all of the credit in the world to New Yorkers. Their subway system, which actually isn't that bad once you get used to it, is part of a way of life that I wouldn't want to deal with day in and day out.

Syria - The War Drums

Syria blames U.S. for embassy attack
Claims Washington orchestrated it
to get concessions from Damascus

JERUSALEM – The attack today against the United States embassy in Damascus was orchestrated by American intelligence to embarrass the Syrian regime and extract political concessions, a senior member of Syrian President Bashar Assad's Baath Party claimed to WND.

"We in the government are 100 percent sure America was behind this attack, which is not the same as other attacks by Islamic groups," said the senior Baath party official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"Only the Americans can succeed in carrying out an attack just 200 meters from President Assad's residence in the most heavily guarded section of Syria," the official said.

SUBJECT: Imposition of Special Measures against Commercial Bank of Syria
http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/srletters/2006/SR0606.htm

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is issuing this SR letter to advise banking organizations under its supervision of new obligations relating to Commercial Bank of Syria imposed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). On March 15, 2006, FinCEN issued a final rule that imposes special measures under section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act (31 U.S.C. 5318A) against Commercial Bank of Syria

5 yrs later - hardly anyone believes the BIG lie

Five years after they pulled it off, hardly anyone in the world believes the ridiculous story about 19 hijackers with box-cutters
and hundred-story buildings magically collapsing into their footsteps.

They miscalculated big time.

When they took the towers down, they never anticipated that this many people would question their version of reality
and work so hard to demonstrate, unequivocally, that they lied. But, we did.
And to those who think that the truth was buried at ground zero, think again. It's only a matter of time.

Just as the towers collapsed into their footprints, so will the lie.

A 9-11 Truth Digest

At 11 a.m. on Sept 11, 2001, our television sets told us an organization called Al Qaeda was responsible for the death and destruction that had transpired a few hours before. We were supplied with little evidence to support this claim, but we needed someone to blame and so we went along. Five years later, we have growing reasons to believe it was never true.

I could go on about the reasons, but to get to the point, what has changed recently has been mainstream media coverage of what is now called the "9-11 Truth Movement." This movement of people like you and me has grown exponentially as it endeavors tirelessly to uncover what really happened on that horrific day.

Polls now say that between a quarter and a half of Americans believe that what really happened on 9-11 was something other than the official government theory. Are these millions of Americans "Conspiracy Theorists"? In truth of course anyone who thinks in any way about 9-11 is a conspiracy theorist. A conspiracy occurred that day. The question is, Who do you believe was involved in it and in what capacity? "9-11 researchers" might be a fairer title with which to label those who, like myself, find it to be a deeply patriotic duty to uncover the truth behind this defining event in the current life of our nation and our planet. All of our wars and reshaped domestic priorities continue to revolve around our shared, but possibly very flawed, accounting of 9-11.

Not everyone has the time or willingness to look into this. In the past week, dozens of new stories have been written about the growing trend away from belief in the official story. I invite you to read one or two of them as part of commemorating and understanding 9-11 and the governmental changes it has created.

Iraqi Oil worth 29 trillion (times 10!)

According to the US dept of energy Iraq contains 112 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, the second largest in the world (behind Saudi Arabia) along with roughly 220 billion barrels of probable and possible resources. Iraqâ??s true potential may be far greater than this, however, as the country is relatively unexplored due to years of war and sanctions. Deep oil-bearing formations located mainly in the vast Western Desert region, for instance, could yield large additional oil resources (possibly another 100 billion barrels), but have not been explored.

That makes 432 billion barrels times todays oil price per barrel, 67 dollars - something like 29 trillion dollars

Trillions in oil revenues is not the only money to be made from the invasion of iraq - the cost of the Iraq war to the taxpayerswas is budgeted at over 318 billion dollars . All of the weapons, uniforms, bases, vehicles, fuels, food and its preparation - all are purchased from private corporations. According to the national priorities project, an non proit that analyzes where federal dollars are spent - more than 28 billion of the total will be paid by the people of New York State - that 28 billion is enough to convert 93,743,138 homes to renewable electricity - according to the 2000 census, there were 105,480,101 occupied housinf units in the united states - just the money paid for the Iraq war by the people of New York state in enough to convert around 90 percent of Amwerican homes to renewable energy.

Theory that U.S. orchestrated Sept. 11 attacks 'not absurd': Venezuela

***The following article is a headline link over at DRUDGE. Considering he is NO FRIEND of the Truth Movement, I take this as a hint that a vicious attack of Venezuala's Hugo Chavez is in the works.***

Theory that U.S. orchestrated Sept. 11 attacks 'not absurd': Venezuela

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - President Hugo Chavez said Tuesday that it's at least plausible that the U.S. government was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Chavez did not specifically accuse the U.S. government of having a hand in the Sept. 11 attacks, but rather suggested that theories of U.S. involvement bear examination.

The Venezuelan leader, an outspoken critic of U.S. President George W. Bush, was reacting to a television report investigating a theory that the Twin Towers were brought down with explosives after hijacked airplanes crashed into them in 2001.

"The hypothesis is not absurd . . . that those towers could have been dynamited," Chavez said in a speech to supporters. "A building never collapses like that, unless it's with an implosion."

"The hypothesis that is gaining strength . . . is that it was the same U.S. imperial power that planned and carried out this terrible terrorist attack or act against its own people and against citizens of all over the world," Chavez said.

Another Look At Norman Mineta's Testmony

After seeing the following paragraph today in Nafeez Ahmed's latest piece on 9/11, I thought maybe I should post this on blogger.

Here is the paragraph from Nafeez's piece:

There are related issues here of public safety. For instance, technologies were in place to remotely direct the hijacked aircraft to avoid the terrible scenario unfolding. “Most modern aircraft have some form of autopilot that could be re-programmed to ignore commands from a hijacker and instead take direction from the ground,” Jeff Gosling of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, told the New Scientist one day after 9/11. Why were these technologies not used to save the aircraft? Why did the 9/11 Commission not bother to ask the same question?

Norman Mineta stated during his testimony before the 9/11 Commission:

"During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, "The plane is 50 miles out." "The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to "the plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the Vice President, "Do the orders still stand?" And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?"

9/11 Truth Movement Needs Legal Action Group

 

9/11 Truth Movement Needs Legal Action Group
In same vain as 9/11 scholars, first action would be to distance itself from damaging unproven theories

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | September 12 2006

The momentum of the 9/11 truth movement is accelerating like never before after enjoying a cacophony of attention during yesterday's 5th anniversary coverage. The next stage needs to be the formation of a 9/11 Legal Action organization and commencement of criminal indictments following the likely Republican loss of Congress in November.

The dam on proving the destruction of the trade towers was an inside job has broken and the only thing that can stop it now is infiltration and misdirection towards unproven and discrediting theories about pods, missiles, ghost planes and other outlandish distractions.

Is there something in 911Eyewitness the government doesnt want us to see?

I recently uploaded 911 Eyewitness to my myspace account for my friend to watch. I downloaded it from
www.question911.com about a 9 mos. ago if memory serves. A couple days later while editing my profile
I noticed the settings for that movie had been turned to private. Thinking it was my mistake, I took the film
down and reuploaded it, making sure it was set to public. Again, the very next day that films settings
had been changed to private. Just to spite them , I again removed it and reuploaded it this time changing
the name to just "eyewitness" and breaking the film into 3 smaller movie files. I just got home, and sure
enough, the last third of the movie has been REMOVED. So I wondered, what exactly is in the last third
of this documentary that "someone" doesnt want posted? And I watched it, and now I am thinking this...
All these people that are sick...could very well be this whole storys undoing...
Just a thought...

Washington D.C. Screening of "9/11: Press For Truth" - 9/11/06

I attended the 7:00pm screening of "9/11: Press for Truth" at Landmark's E Street Cinema in DC. Although there were approximately 40 others in the audience, I was disappointed that more young people didn't turn out to support the movement. My initial reaction to "Press for Truth" was that of disappointment: there were too many core components left out of the film that implicate the government through MIHOP. Among the gaps: wargames, controlled demolition of the towers, the Mineta testimony, and insider trading. However, as my girlfriend and I discussed the scenes on our way home, I realized that "Press for Truth" is a perfect film for fence-sitters and those unfamiliar with 9/11 Truth.

The genius of "Press for Truth", what set it apart from other 9/11 Truth documentaries, is the raw emotion the film generates and demands from its audience. Unlike Loose Change, we see the human response to 9/11 in the form of the 'Jersey Girls'. We emphasize with the betrayal they received from the 9/11 Commission they helped create. Most importantly, they show that a group of ordinary, dedicated civilians can make a difference. Additionally, the incorporation of Paul Thompson's "9/11 Timeline" highlighted the money trail from the Pakistani ISI to the hijackers and proved to be particularly damning.
