9/11 Press for Truth and other meet-ups Wednesday, September 5, 2007 1:58 PM |
T.O.C. |

Attached or at bottom is a 9/11 Press for Truth notice in HTML, which has web links in it you hopefully can click on. In any event, you can always go to their site, at http://911pressfortruth.com/. If you have not seen their DVD, it's $15 a copy (when I got it), and it's a very professional production! A few media/press professionals got together to make it, based upon the "9/11 Timeline", and the actions taken by some of the families of the victims. "Timelines" are places on the 'net where anything that has to do with the subject matter can be filed chronologically in it. The "Complete 9/11 Timeline" can be found at http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/project.jsp?project=911_project This timeline has articles in it, gathered from any number of publications worldwide on the topic of 9/11. The video itself is the thing that got Violet, my significant other, interested. It's compelling for family-oriented folk, as it goes into the story of the Jersey Girls, who are wives of some of the deceased from that day, and who ultimately brought about the 9/11 Commission and it's report, among other things. The attached document includes links if interested, to locate a house party for the up-coming 9/11. There are other sources of events, such as can be found through MeetUp, at http://9-11.meetup.com/cities/ Cheers - Mark

National Academy of Sciences Member Calls for New Investigation Monday, September 10, 2007 2:47 PM |
T.O.C. | ||||
World renowned scientist, Lynn Margulis, Ph.D., has severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and called for a new investigation, “I suggest that those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous official account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough, and impartial investigation be undertaken.” One of America’s most prominent scientists, Dr. Margulis is Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts - Amherst. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1983 and served as Chairman of the Academy’s Space Science Board Committee on Planetary Biology and Chemical Evolution. In 1999, President Bill Clinton presented Dr. Margulis with the National Medal of Science, America's highest honor for scientific achievement, "for her outstanding contributions to understanding of the development, structure, and evolution of living things, for inspiring new research in the biological, climatological, geological and planetary sciences, and for her extraordinary abilities as a teacher and communicator of science to the public." In her statement on PatriotsQuestion911.com, Dr. Margulis referred to 9/11 as “this new false-flag operation, which has been used to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as unprecedented assaults on research, education, and civil liberties”. She compared 9/11 to several self-inflicted attacks that had been used in the past to arouse people’s fear and hatred and justify war, including the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor, the Reichstag Fire, and Operation Himmler, which Germany used to justify the invasion of Poland, the trigger for World War II. In her statement, Dr. Margulis cites “the research and clear writing by David Ray Griffin in his fabulous books about 9/11” as a useful source of information and analysis of problems with the official account of 9/11. She specifically lauded The New Pearl Harbor and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, “which provides overwhelming evidence that the official story is contradictory, incomplete, and unbelievable.” Internationally acclaimed for her ground-breaking scientific work, Dr. Margulis is an elected member of The World Academy of Art and Science, an organization of 500 of the world’s leading thinkers, chosen for eminence in art, the natural and social sciences, and the humanities. And in 2006, she was selected as one of “The 20th Century's 100 Most Important Inspirational Leaders” by the editors of Resurgence magazine."

Frankly, I think this guy has died too many times to be dying anymore. I think he's dead enough. The first time I watched "Weekend at Bernie's", I only saw the second half, which I have to say was quite funny. Ok, this guy either died at the end of 2001, or he died in 2003. But that's it. He can't die anymore. He was in a Pakistani hospital, according to sources cited by the complete 9/11 timeline, on dialysis, and in bad shape, when we went into Afghanistan. This is not Afghanistan. This is where you stick the tube when you give the planet an enema. In fact it is Waziristan, which is in Pakistan, which is an ungoverned area of Pakistan, as run by an Islamic dictator who can't leave his palace because of how many assassination attempts he receives. Although, I have to give the man credit, because he doesn't get as many assassination attempts as does Harmid Karzai of Afghanistan. Osama Bin Llama is the Red Baron of the Middle East! Cheers - Mark

Bin Laden's Beard Tuesday, September 11, 2007 9:34 PM |
T.O.C. | ||||
Bin Laden's new terror vid "Osama bin Laden appears in a new picture that proves he has not died - but he has obviously dyed. Posted on an Islamic extremist website, the photo is said to be a still from a recently filmed video. The al-Qaeda boss is lined with age - but his previously greying beard is now suspiciously jet black. Rita Katz, who monitors terror messages for the Washington-based Site institute, said many Arab leaders dyed their beards. She added: "It works for al-Qaeda's benefit that he looks young and healthy." Bin Laden, 50, had prompted speculation he was seriously ill from a long-standing kidney complaint or even dead as no footage of him has surfaced since 2004. The website said the video will be released to coincide with the sixth anniversary of 9/11. But intelligence experts in the States have a copy and are studying it. A US government official claimed the video was shot recently and does not contain calls or threats to attack America. Bin Laden is currently thought to be in hiding with Egyptian deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri in a stronghold on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. " =================================== Reuters News: Bin Laden's black beard baffles U.S. intelligence http://in.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINIndia-29447520070910 "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence officials studying Osama bin Laden's videotape released last week said on Monday they were baffled by his new black beard. "We don't know if it's dyed and trimmed, or real, but that's one of the things we are looking at," Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell told a Senate committee hearing. "The last time he appeared it was very different." The videotape released by his al Qaeda network on Friday was bin Laden's first in nearly three years. In it, his beard was black and neatly cropped, unlike the untrimmed gray of previous appearances. Analysts say the tape was made no earlier than last month. McConnell reiterated an administration assessment that bin Laden's video -- calling the United States vulnerable and encouraging Americans to embrace Islam - did not appear to be a signal for a new attack. But he said al Qaeda's hostile intent was clear. The beard has also mystified private analysts, who said bin Laden may be trying to enhance his image as a leader or who simply called it bizarre. M.J. Gohel of the Asia-Pacific Foundation said bin Laden looked "vain and ridiculous." "It does not fit with the image he has so carefully nurtured, the masquerade of his being a holy warrior devoid of normal human traits," he said." Cheers - Mark |

Bin Laden's Beard - day 2 Wednesday, September 12, 2007 10:35 AM |

The foregoing explanation was regarding using dye other than the colour of pure black. The ruling on using pure black hair dye will defer according to the reason one uses it for. a) If a warrior (mujahid) used black hair dye in order to create awe and fear into the heart and mind of the enemy, then all the scholars agree that it is permissible (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya, 5/329). b) To use pure black dye in order to deceive somebody, e.g. a prospective fiancée or in order to get a job, then this (according to all) is impermissible. The Companion Ibn Mas’ud (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whosoever deceives us is not from us” (Sahih Ibn Hibban) c) The third situation is when pure black dye is used for adornment, meaning the husbands or the wives use it in order to please the spouse. The scholars have differed with regards to its ruling. Many Hanafi scholars have said that to use pure black dye is not
permissible, even for the purpose of adornment and pleasing the spouse.
" In the list above, I'd guess the appeal, if there was any, would go to A, "in order to create awe and fear into the heart and mind of the enemy". The video should be released today, and it can be analysed for photocropping or other delights. Could it be Bin Laden? Ask these guys... "Australian comic Chas Licciardello, dressed as
Osama bin Laden, is arrested outside George W. Bush's hotel at the APEC
summit in Sydney." Cheers - Mark |

The stock options previously written about expire Sept. 21. "ACC orders commandwide standdown Friday By Bruce Rolfsen - Staff writer Air Force Times Posted : Monday Sep 10, 2007 17:38:42 EDT On Sept. 14, flight lines will be very quiet at Air Combat Command bases. The entire command — about 100,000 active-duty airmen — is standing down training flights and many other operations as part of a command-wide safety day. Command boss Gen. Ronald Keys ordered the Sept. 14 safety standdown in the wake of the Aug. 30 nuclear incident at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., in which six cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads were loaded onto a B-52H and then flown to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., without anyone on the ground or bomber realizing the nuclear weapons were on the plane. It was not until the B-52H was parked at Barksdale that ground crews discovered the cruise missiles were carrying real warheads. Command spokesman Maj. Tom Crosson said wing commanders would determine how their units review operations and safety procedures and checklists. Just how serious Keys takes the lapse of regulations at Minot is
reflected in the fact that the safety stand-down is the first commandwide
safety day in recent memory. In the past, the command has singled out
specific types of aircraft for safety days and in 1997 the Department of
Defense held a departmentwide safety review day." Attached, the note being forwarded. Thanks for the heads up! Cheers - Mark As chairman of the House Finance Committee, congressman John Gilmore (R-OH), it is interesting that since he was leading investigations into the stock options of late, that he was first said to die of a heart attack, and upon finding blunt trauma to the head, died from falling down the stairs. I suppose that's possible.

Kurt, thanks for the investment advice. When I say "coffins and toilet paper", I mean to say, "invest in stable things". After that, I'm not sure what to invest in. First off, I want you to all know that the Toyota commercial I was referring to was the one with all of the keys hitting the ground, "cats and dogs". I never really know the future, but there's an interesting case on the horizon. Violet, by the way, thinks that if people all panic, then they can change the stock market! There is precedent for such a thing. Here's a list of things happening in an order. I haven't been through all these sources yet, but it's another way of putting 'conspiracy theory' (presently) in 8 steps. Very presently. http://endiana.blogspot.com/2007/09/conspiracy-theory-update-sept-14-2007.html Responses to news is part of the information game. Indeed, when it comes to intelligence, providing equal shares of information and disinformation appears to be the game. That really throws the other guy off! There are 3 things mentioned above: 1) Producing actions and information to begin with 2) Producing intelligence information 3) Producing intelligence disinformation Where all of the above is happening. I don't know where information produced to elicit a response ends off, or where information that tells me what is happening next begins. I don't know, on that basis, what is going to happen next, or when. For all I know, we're all just silly putty in a bored puppeteer's eye. Perhaps not. I think that the fact that events of late have transpired as they have means that precursors to a significant development have occured, where that development will occur between now and the 21st of this month, and where there is accentuation upon this Friday. If not, then we all sleep happier. Cheers - Mark |

regional exercise designed to simulate a large-scale terrorist attack in
Philadelphia. A large number of seriously injured victims will overwhelm
city hospitals, requiring mutual aid from, and movement of victims to,
surrounding hospitals. By providing staff to act as victims, hospitals can
use this scenario to conduct a full-scale exercise. Hospitals not
providing victims can participate in communication and coordination
exercises via the E Team incident reporting and management system. To test
Incident Command and National Incident Management System protocols, the
Emergency Operations Centers from the five-county region also have been

And that's a nice thought. I think people have been braced for bombing in Iran and domestically. Where would you put the nukes if you wanted the best place? These guys would put them where they could be deployed in either place, if they were as smart as me. So we don't know the next step. Is there evidence of preparing to receive the nukes off-shore in the Persian Gulf, or is there evidence to show domestic deployment? There was one tidbit where a terrorist drill for hospitals in the Philadelphia area is being conducted tommorow, led by DHS, IIRC. One small lead toward possible deployment domestically. This is also evidence of an authoritarian structure. When you put the pieces together, I think it provides for a theoretical basis into a scenario where powerful individuals move pieces on a board, and shit really happens! By our system of government, there's a special channel being canoed; emergency powers and war powers have expanded. That's the form of government we give our faith, as a people. It's got loopholes, and we're quite surprised. I think we're surprised because our standard channels of information appear to perform no useful function, but to parrot what the powers that be want to be said. When they don't inform us of the news created by powerful individuals (as parrots), they inform us of insights not so negative to those powers. It's a defunct house, this thing we call the "Fourth Estate". Sometimes it's nice, because the people in this fourth house haven't been given direction, because their leaders aren't informed, because the news is something no one in power ever expected. Finding the inconsistency with that B-52, loaded with cruise missiles mounted with nuclear warheads? Priceless! Cheers - Mark |

Iran Thursday, September 20, 2007 1:13 AM | T.O.C. |

From the AP (lot's lately), the saga of nuclear Iran continues. "Iran: Retaliation for any Israeli attack" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070920/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_israel In it... "TEHRAN, Iran - Iran has drawn up plans to bomb Israel if the Jewish state should attack, the deputy air force commander said Wednesday, adding to tensions already heated up by an Israeli airstrike on Syria and Western calls for more U.N. sanctions against Tehran." "French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Sunday that the international community should prepare for the possibility of war in the event Iran obtains atomic weapons, although he later stressed the focus is still on diplomatic pressures." They next tried to make it a deal between Iran and Israel. Let's back up a minute on that. As Condoleeza rice says (from article above)... " "it can't be business as usual" with Iran, a country whose president has spoken of wiping Israel off the map. " I added the outside quotes, so it looks like the AP author(s) wrote 2/3rds of that last sentence. Next, let's go into the notion of Iran saying they wanted to wipe Israel off the map. From the Wikipedia Translation of phrase "wiped off the map" "Many news sources have presented one of Ahmadinejad's phrases in Persian as a statement that "Israel must be wiped off the map"[4][5][6], an English idiom which means to "obliterate totally",[7] and "destroy completely", such as by powerful bombs,[8] or other catastrophes.[9] Juan Cole, a University of Michigan Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History, translates the Persian phrase as: The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad).[10]" Also: "Iran's state-owned Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting translated Ahmadinejad's comments as "Israel must be wiped off the map", [22]" Now there's a twist! But he's been denying the wiped off the map thing since this started. And for a blast from the past, since the US and UK and France (and a few other European... Governments), appear to want to posture for stopping Iran's nuclear program, or getting tough... From 2002 on the IAEA site (International Atomic Energy Agency): "Uranium resources of Iran are not considered a rich one. The results of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) exploration activities have shown proven reserves of about 3,000 tons of Uranium so far. According to the discovered indices (more than 350 anomalies) and the results of the field discoveries, the expected resources of Iran could be at the range of 20,000-30,000 tons of U3O8, throughout the country. Therefore Iran's domestic reserves might be sufficient enough to supply the raw material for needed nuclear power plants in future." I think European countries, along with the US, are politically posturing with Iran, and don't really need to. Cheers - Mark |
