Open Thread

Open Thread - and a request for help...

So, what's shakin'?

EDIT: cooperativeresearch.org needs volunteers to help make the Complete 911 Timeline even more complete. If you have time to weed through a few of the thousands of articles that need to be morphed into entries, drop Paul Thompson a line.

Open Thread - Vermont Vote Reminder

Open thread, and a reminder that tomorrow people in Vermont will be voting yes or no on this ballot question;

"Shall Vermont's Congressional Delegation be advised to demand a new, thorough, and truly independent forensic investigation that fully addresses the many questions surrounding the tragic events of September 11, 2001?"

Get involved.

Open Thread.

So what did we miss?

Several people posted this one in comments, but never made it to front page, about the only US mainstream coverage out there on the Psychic Network -- I mean, BBC, unless Wonkette is "mainstream". Thanks, Joe.

Devin Green signing off, 03/01/2007 -- Good morning and good luck

"Why aren't the big TV news programs and newspapers covering the BBC's remarkable gift for clairvoyance? If you want them to demand it of them.

Better yet, take matters of informing yourself into your own hands. As I hope this blog entry has demonstrated, we have the technology with the Internet to move from the old autocratic information paradigm into a democratic system. Instead of today's five media companies who own most of the news industry dictating self-serving knowledge to millions of Americans, information can be traded freely based on its inherent merits in a diverse and widespread self correcting network.

Mid Week Open Thread

It has been really busy the last week or so, with a lot of good stuff flying off the front pages quicker than perhaps they should. Hopefully everyone is staying on top of the news as it is posted, and here is a chance to bring up anything that might have been glossed over.

Likewise, there have been a couple of new movies released on the web and on DVD recently which may have been glossed over as well, so here is a list of recent releases you might have missed:

If there are other new films we've missed which are worth checking out be sure to mention them in the comments. Also, for anyone who missed the news a month or so back, both 9/11: Press for Truth and Terrorstorm are on Netflix, so encourage people you know to check these out and help boost their circulation. Also, I got one of the first copies of Dr. Griffin's speech in NYC from Oct. 2005 entirely focused on the demolition of the twin towers and on the oral histories released by the NYTimes. This DVD should be out soon as well, and we will be sure to give a heads up once it is. Finally, thanks to DBLS we now have both MP4 and WMV versions of the recent BBC hit-peice available here.

Also, I have noticed that a bunch of emails which have been sent in via the website have not actually reached us. So, if you have tried to email myself or any of our team members, submit news, etc. in the last few weeks there is a chance we never got it. I have updated each of our feedback pages linked to from the Contact Us page to include a note about this and a link to where you can get an email address to use directly. Please resend your emails via this route if you think we might have missed them.

Thanks to everyone who is helping us out! Open thread, have at it!

Mid Week Open Thread

Been a few days since our last open thread, and there is a lot going on both inside and outside of the 9/11 community - here is an open thread to discuss such things.

Open thread, have at it!

Beginning of the Week Open Thread

It has been quite a busy few days in the 9/11 community. Here is a quick roundup and an open thread to help start off the new week.

  • BBC's 'The Conspiracy Files' to cover 9/11 conspiracies next Sunday (link)
  • NIST Engineer claims to not be aware of witnesses to molten metal at ground zero, and unaware of NASA thermal imaging (link)
  • London Evening Standard and Daily Mail Papers publish lengthy article on 9/11 skeptics and Loose Change (link)
  • Rosie O'Donnell Imitates John Conner and Says "9/11 Was an Inside Job" on 'The View' (link)
  • Star from Law and Order Michael Moriarty says 9/11 is an "inside job" on Jack Blood's radio show (link)
  • Democracy NOW! and Counterpunch cover the 'Cheering Movers and Art Student Spies' (link)
  • CW11 New York airs a feature story on 9/11 skeptics (link)

Of course there is even more than that which has happened in the last week, but it is quite apparent that this week has been a major week as for alternative 9/11 news coverage. Be sure to take a few minutes and send in feedback for each of these items!

Mid Week Open Thread

Notice: Sorry for the site outage this morning, this occurred due to abuse being done on the web which referenced this website, and was not within our control.

We've been getting more and more non-9/11 related submissions lately. Seems like there is a desire for a site that is 9/11 skeptic friendly, but covers a lot more than just 9/11 related subjects..

So, here is an open thread. We will try to have these more frequently, in return please understand that we would like to keep the blog submissions 9/11 related - that is what people are coming here to find!

Note: There are only a couple days left in our fund raiser to help disabled first responders. We have just hit $2600 of our $5000 goal, please help out if you can by donating today!

Looks like another celebrity may come forward today, what else is going on?

Somebigguy's One Year of Service and Open Thread

Today marks the one year anniversary of Somebigguy becoming a 911blogger.com team member. Without SBG this site wouldn't have made it through its first year, and his help kept this site going when it otherwise would have fallen by the wayside. SBG headed up the project for 911podcasts.com and still maintains that site now pretty much single handedly. We have come a long way as a site since SBG came on board, and his help is still much appreciated!

Out of curiosity, how many visitors to the site today were around a year ago today?

If something else is on your mind feel free to post about it, open thread, have at it.

Site Outage, Grab Bag, and Open Thread

Sorry for the site outage, I wrote something to explain it here:
http://www.yourbbsucks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12553

Roughly our viewership today was many times higher than just last month, which is in turn 25x higher than this time last year. I have been saying it is time for a server change, and we will be moving to a VPS host instead of a shared host as soon as we can. Unfortunately this will mean some downtime as well, and the current site may have more outages until the readership stabilizes. If you are interested in helping fund the new server setup please let me know. Check out the link above for more info about the outage, sorry for the down time. (On a side note, I must say I am glad that the site lasted as long as it did given the traffic.)

Grab Bag:
Alex Jones reports from Ground Zero (mirror) - 1.4MB MP3

(plus a lot more attack peices out now, do a google news search)

Post stuff as you come across it either in the comments here or in your blog, and sorry again. We will be having some downtime undoubtedly over the next week or so, but I will do whatever I can to keep it minimal.
