Thank you for that... I never claim anything as more than speculation. I find the QUESTIONS more interesting than the answers, as they lead to more interesting questions.

I hope that I am wrong, but I think there is enough out there already to warrent a closer look by SOMEONE.

Hopefully a dutiful and ethical member of the US Government (You guys can't all be bad).

I have stuff to do, I just wish people whose jobs are to protect us from harm start actually DOING IT! It sure as hell isn't my job, if it were I would have the authority to lock up Dick Cheney & Co. tonight.

Its a question of ethics.  The deep truth of 9/11 to me is that it shows governments have no ethical standards whatsoever! And I know, they realize this and my message directly to the PTB is, We will never trust you again. 

If all you type is true then.... holy fuck... and noone will ever know. that is the sad truth.

Danse, does your info have an online link or source? I'm not questioning it. I can independently verify some of it. It's a subject of interest to me.

Well, as per usual the Propaganda machine works, - The Cover Story - NJ Stinks!

N.J. Eyed As Source of Stench Over NYC

NEW YORK -- The gas-like odor that hung over Manhattan's streets was gone Tuesday, but city officials were still trying to pinpoint its source _ and eyeing New Jersey.

Charles Sturcken, a spokesman for the city Department of Environmental Protection, said Tuesday that his agency was pretty sure the source of the smell was along New Jersey's industrialized waterfront, just across the Hudson River from New York.

"The way we tracked the dispersion of the smell and the prevailing winds indicates that it came from New Jersey, somewhere near Secaucus," Sturcken said.

The strong odor, detectable from Manhattan's southern tip to well past Central Park, led to some precautionary evacuations, and about a dozen people were taken to hospitals complaining of difficulty breathing, Fire Department spokesman Tony Sclafani.

There was no indication that the air was unsafe, though, and no indication of terrorism, city and federal officials said.

Complaints about the odor also came from Bergen and Hudson counties in New Jersey, but no air sampling was done there because the state Department of Environmental Protection had no specific locations to test, spokeswoman Elaine Makatura said.

New Jersey Environmental Protection Commissioner Lisa Jackson said Tuesday that her agency was reviewing Monday's emission records of plants in the area.

She said the area has some oil refineries _ and that a natural gas pipeline problem could be a culprit.

"We may not be able to find it," she said.

Jackson bristled at New York officials' finger-pointing at her state, saying she wished that New York instead would help New Jersey look for the source. "It looks an awful lot like jumping to conclusions," she said.

Sturcken said that the odor could have been caused by mercaptan, the chemical added to normally odorless natural gas to make it easily detectable, but he added, "Nothing has been confirmed."

"We're left with a mystery, although we know it's not harmful," he said.

All I know for sure is it is business as usual in the black world.  They are unimpeded.

I don't have the quote handy, but one of those shady guys said that they are an empire now, and they can shape reality (perception) while everyone is busy looking at one thing, they are off to the next...

Now that I am awake I am looking for what they are doing TODAY.  I would hope that others do the same.

They will continue as long as they sense no one is watching them in action.  We are responsible for our OWN security, as they have shown they have abused their authority to protect it.

NYC Gas Odor Remains a Mystery

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City blamed New Jersey's wetlands on Tuesday for causing a strong stink that briefly plagued the area, but the mystery lingered as an environmental scientist said the marshes should be exonerated.

A powerful smell akin to natural gas wafted over the region on Monday morning, sending at least 19 people to the hospital in both states and forcing the evacuation of New York schools and offices. Commuter rail service was briefly halted as a precaution. A spokesman for New York City's Department of Environmental Protection pointed to New Jersey's marshes, saying New Jerseyans reported the smell first and that calls in New York later came from the south of Manhattan and then moved north. "So it was coming up the Hudson River," spokesman Charles Sturcken said. "You can map it in time. However, other officials on both sides of the Hudson River said the cause might never be known because it dissipated after a few hours. "Belching bog blamed for citywide gas stink" declared a New York Post headline, explaining that mercaptan, the rotten-egg-like odor smelled by New Yorkers and New Jerseyans on Monday, can be released by decaying vegetation. Mercaptan is also the chemical added to odorless natural gas so that it can be detected in a leak. By Tuesday, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was calling the odor "good theater" for reporters and late-night comics. "It was never anything that we thought was a security risk or a danger to anybody," the mayor said. Joan Ehrenfeld, a biology professor at New Jersey's Rutgers University, said New Jersey's wetlands commonly produce sulfur-containing gas as part of the natural process of decay. But that gas is almost immediately converted to minerals.

"I think it is highly unlikely that it was the production of hydrogen sulfide in the salt marshes," Ehrenfeld said.

"They're not even bogs," sniffed Ehrenfeld, explaining that the term bog refers to wetlands whose only source of water is rainfall and whose main vegetation is peat moss.

In contrast, New Jersey's 8,000-acre Meadowlands are wetlands, distinguished by grass and their mix of fresh and salt water.

A Rotten Smell Raises Alarms and Questions

By SEWELL CHAN

There is an awful lot of finger pointing and conflicting reports...  Going around in circles, the Maple Smell in 2005 seems interesting...  Another Mystery...

We don't know what's up with the crazy gas smell. The reports we've read had the location at 34th Street and 5th-7th-8th Avenues in Manhattan, but our readers are smelling it from the Upper West Side to downtown. WNBC reports that the smell is so strong on the 6th floor of 30 Rockefeller Center, "people are leaving the building." NY1 says the smell is strong around Herald Square and in NY1's neighborhood in Chelsea."

So far, Con Ed and the city's Office of Emergency Management are supposedly checking it out. There are also a lot of NYPD sirens - perhaps checking out the possible leak and trying to calm freaking-out New Yorkers?

We'll keep updating this story. Tell us where you're smelling it. Is it in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island - or just Manhattan? And we thought all we'd have to deal with today was a case of the Mondays!

Update: ABC and Fox are reporting that the smell may have originated with a large gas leak at Bleecker and West 4th. But Fox is now saying the location may be at 7th and 13th, near St. Vincents. So things are still confused.

Update: ConEd is reporting no leaks anywhere in the system-- so it's a real mystery!

Update: a tipster called to say St. Vincents is being evacuated, and PATH trains are shut down into the city. So the smell is definitely strongest right now in the Village. Action seems to be centered at Bleecker and West 12th.

Update: Bloomberg is saying there was a gas leak on Bleecker and 6th, but much too small to be responsible for something like this. Various agencies are investigating, but the city's air quality sensors haven't picked up anything unusual. Now he's saying not to worry about it too much, but to open windows if the smell is particularly bad: "The one thing we are very confident of is that it's not dangerous."

A reporter asked how smelling gas is not dangerous. Mayor Bloomberg said that when gas enters the air, it "diversifies": "The amount of the chemical that you can smell is so minute... it's not dangerous." He adds that he didn't smell it at his home on the Upper East Side and didn't smell it at City Hall; also, all the PATH service is back to normal. OEM Commissioner Bruno says that there were 27 calls related to the gas smell, just people were feeling ill but no one was transported to the hospital.

"When nothing else subsists from the past, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered· the smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls· bearing resiliently, on tiny and almost impalpable drops of their essence, the immense edifice of memory"

-Marcel Proust "The Remembrance of Things Past"(1)

Smell and Memory: source: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro00/web2/Ito.html

An important quality of the olfactory system is that information travels both to the limbic system and cortex. The limbic system is the primitive part of the brain that include areas that control emotions, memory and behavior. In comparison the cortex is the outer part of the brain that has to do with conscious thought. In addition to these two areas, information also travels to the taste sensory cortex to create the sense of flavor (2). Because olfactory information goes to both the primitive and complex part of the brain it effects our actions in more ways than we think.

Hey New Yourkers, They are STILL FUCKING WITH YOUR HEADS!!!!!!!!!
