Update From the Streets
Last night RT was again in Harvard Square when a young man, no more than 18, asked if he had seen the website Loosechangeguide.com. RT made it clear to this guy that he was aware Loose Change wasn't a perfect account of what happened on 9/11, but that other documentaries like 9/11 Mysteries were available that made the case for controlled demolition. Had I read the Popular Mechanics book Debunking 9/11 Myths he asked. RT couldn't help but laugh, and asked the young man if he could explain the molten steel found in the rubble piles and seen dripping out of the South Tower. Well, the steel didn't have to melt for the towers to collapse, he assured me. Not the point I clarified--it was there. Well, I know that that was explained by experts. Really? By whom, I asked. Well, I can't remember. Well, what was their explanation? I don't remember. But it made sense when I read it. OK, I said, get back to me when you can explain it. OK he said. Minutes later, he returned. He brought a copy of the Popular Mechanics hack job and flipped throught he pages to the part where the molten steel was explained. Basically, according to PM, three (unnamed) "experts" claim that the fires in the rubble pile, because they were covered in rubble and not subject to loss of heat through the air (and presumably not having air didn't keep them from burning) the pile became hotter and hotter, which melted the steel. Yes, that was it. Three unnamed experts and a completely absurd claim. Wow. I want you to have this book the kid said. I want to give it to you and I want you to read it. OK, I said, thank you. I want YOU to watch this DVD. Please. OK. Thank you. The truth marches, or in some cases crawls, on.
Now a few things have been bugging me. First off, what is wrong with ClustrMaps? They're totally undercounting my hits on WTCDEMOLITION.COM. By a factor of ten. Whereas my site states say 40 unique visitors or so in the last day, they claim 4. I'm due for my map update and have not gotten it. What's up?
I saw a headline today that said Google was buying YouTube. How will that affect the many videos YouTube hosts that are crucial to our movement? Sure Google has hosted a few good ones but they also seem to have been resetting stats (reportedly) and no one should trust this company any farther than they can throw it (google: the googlian knot).
And finally, Oprah is dipping her toes in the waters of truth? Fantastic. Let's she how she does. RT has heard through his shilly sources that we are in fact in a situation where the powers that be know that the truth is coming out but are looking for a "soft landing"--is this part of Oprah's job? Will LIHOP be used to ease us to MIHOP or will they try to pull a fast one and leave it at that? It would be a dumb mistake (not their first) but they seem to think they can work miracles still, these conspirators.
What is clear is that pretty soon the shit will hit the fan and we will need, one more time, to step up our efforts at direct outreach in the face of media manipulation.

are you serious? do they really claim such an obvious bullshit? i mean, i knew their explanations are dodgy, but this is the most obvious crap ive heard so far from PM.
Yes indeed, I'll scan the portion in later...
As an interesting coda to this post, the kid who insisted I take the book after I told him I didn't want it asked for it back yesterday. He came up to me with a printout from some 911 Denier site that claimed no steel melted. I asked him if he didn't think it was weird for him to be trying to debunk our claims with two mutually contradictory accounts (PM acknowledges the steel melted, this article did not) I told him he wasn't going to convince me then he asked me for the book back. Unfortunately for him I'm going to be making buttons out of all the lies after I scan them and post them online. He can have it back but it will be literally as well as figuratively "full of holes". I expect the buttons to be worth something in the future. :)
