Fascist Thugs Invade Innocent People's Homes in Order to Intimidate Them and Prevent Protests at the GOP Convention-- Mainstream Media Are All Over It

Just kidding-- about the media, anyway.

UPDATE: This whole thing is looking quite serious. The Feds are involved in these outrageous acts, apparently spurred on by recent loosening of wiretapping laws. Crazily, Amy Goodman and some of her people were arrested too. WaPo is at least picking up on it, as are various smaller news outfits now.

An excerpt from the must-read Greenwald post:
Following up on this weekend's extreme raids on various homes, at least 250 people were arrested here today in St. Paul, Minnesota. Beginning last night, St. Paul was the most militarized I have ever seen an American city be, even more so than Manhattan in the week of 9/11 -- with troops of federal, state and local law enforcement agents marching around with riot gear, machine guns, and tear gas cannisters, shouting military chants and marching in military formations. Humvees and law enforcement officers with rifles were posted on various buildings and balconies. Numerous protesters and observers were tear gassed and injured. I'll have video of the day's events posted shortly.


I thought New Orleans would be the site of fascists on parade, with Gustav coming and Blackwater being called for duty. But it looks like Gustav was a distraction from the real fascist action in Minneapolis. Un-fucking-believable. I can only hope this will wake some people up to what the country has become.

The Day John McCain Lost the Election

Sarah Palin?

Wow.

UPDATE: I love Palin!!!


Wait, wrong Palin!

This is good:


UPDATE 2: the Alaskan Independence Party angle is wild, but she has so many scandals from which to choose! The out-of-wedlock underage pregnancy is probably the juiciest, though. Good round-up here.

Presidential!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the pic seems to be photoshopped.

The “33-ton”, or is it “330-ton”, Section Of Outer Wall Structure Exploded from WTC Tower on 9/11

A Message from the PTB Regarding Reynolds, Wood & “DEW”

by The Anonymous Physicist




Previously I have exposed what the beloved number 33 means to the PTB. I stated here and here that two possible things have been demonstrated. It either signifies something nuclear, or is a code to the media to promote this person and the legend about him/her. (Or it may signify both.) This brings us to the matter at hand--this exploded section (from Judy Wood’s site; see above picture) of outer wall, steel structure from a WTC tower.

The 33 ton weight apparently has come from a calculation from Wood, with great difficulty and help from someone else, as we shall see. It is in the paper: “Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Disintegrate?: A peer-review of Steven E. Jones' 9/11 Research” by Morgan Reynolds and Judy Wood, from Reynolds website here. But wait, we see that in an earlier version of their paper here, they stated the weight was 330 tons. It says, “...330-ton section of outer wall columns ripped off side of tower.” (As always, use your find function to locate the “33”.) And hereI have found the genesis of this. At the “godlikeproductions" website, the forum moderator, “SHR”, helped Wood to "correct" 330 tons to 33 tons*! (An earlier page at that thread stated that she was stopping her activity as the webmaster for ST911.)

Let me now examine this outer wall section. There is no way it’s mass can be estimated to two decimal places! That is, at best maybe say your estimate finds 30 tons, or 300 tons; no way can you have an estimate of two digits. I don’t think one can safely estimate its mass to within a factor of two actually. Look at the photo again. Part of it is obscured by smoke and debris. So we can’t be sure just what its dimensions actually are. Neither can we be certain of its distance from the other structures in the photo. Estimates can be made of its dimensions, composition (steel), and density to arrive at some figure. But there is no way, with all the uncertainty herein, that a two-digit number can be obtained. More scientific would have been to list a range of weights, say 10-100 tons.

I see that this tonnage--first 330 tons--then 33 tons--subsequently spread on the net. Proving several things. First that immense harm is done to the 911truth movement by such shoddy, or deliberately manipulated, calculations that others then will take as gospel. Then there is the use of the 33 (whether as 330 or 33). As I have stated, there is no way to arrive at such a precise number from such uncertain evidence. It likely demonstrates a deliberate act. For either or both of the two factors I have detailed in my articles--either to get the legend promoted (here the evidence-free DDT [DEW Disinfo Theory]-- or that something nuclear is involved. Or in this case both, as the 9/11 WTC event WAS nuclear.

Reynolds and Wood are hereby showing their “33”colors, as to who they are likely working for, and what they are trying to hide-- the nuclear destruction of the WTC which is detailed here www.wtcdemolition.blogspot.com. Indeed Reynolds and Wood hint to the world what they are sent in to deny, when their own article (cited above) includes this photo (below) of tower destruction:


next to this photo (below) of what actually caused it:



Need we say more?

*Note from Spooked: My own calculations indicate the falling section of columns is conservatively between 30-60 tons, the difference depending on the exact part of the tower it came from, as lighter columns were used towards the top of the tower. Previously, I calculated a 24 foot column to be between 1 to 2 tons, and there are at least 30 x 24' column equivalents in the picture.

Criminal Politics-- Why the Democratic Convention Is Ultimately a Sick Joke

1) 9/11 and the Anthrax attacks were an inside job and ALL the perpetrators and enablers need to be prosecuted

2) The Bush administration is a group of war criminals-- for starting an aggressive, unprovoked war that resulted in the deaths hundreds of thousands of human beings, and for promoting the use of torture by the CIA and the military-- and need to be prosecuted

3) Our election systems cannot be trusted and extreme measures must be taken to restore the concept of democracy in the USA-- a start would be the elimination of paperless electronic voting

4) The Bush administration engaged in illegal spying and the surveillance/police state has grown out of control

5) The Democrats and the corporate mainstream media are completely complicit in the above issues and must be held accountable for their own crimes

An excellent related article-- "Indict All of The George W Bush US Government Officials-- Impeachment Not Enough for September 11 World Trade Center Attacks":
As a US citizen and as a human being, I personally consider the killing of innocent people in foreign countries by the CIA, the US military, and their puppets in support of the economic interests of multinational US-based corporations to be totally immoral and intolerable, and I consider it my solemn duty to oppose US aggression and Imperialism in any way that I can. US government and Mass Media propaganda promote a climate in which the actions and activities of US troops abroad are regarded as beyond reproach, but there is nothing noble or 'heroic' about unprovoked military aggression and genocide against vulnerable and innocent foreign populations.

George W. Bush, George H. Bush, Jeb, Neil, and Marvin Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condaleezza Rice, Karl Rove, Wolfowitz, Perle, Powell, Armitage, Ashcroft, Abrams, Adelman, Feith, Bolton, Libby, Kissinger, Mueller, Tenet, Goss, Giuliani, Hayden, Chertoff, Baker, and many hundreds of other individuals working for the White House, CIA, FBI, FEMA, the Pentagon, NSA, NORAD, the airline industry, and the US news media together planned and executed the 9/11 attacks. All of the above-named and their accomplices need to be tried for Treason and Mass Murder, with the death penalty as the just and very necessary reward for their conviction of those crimes.

We need a Nuremberg-style trial for Treason and Mass Murder for all of the members of the US government, the US military, the US intelligence agencies, and their civilian accomplices in the airline industry and the news media who participated in the murderous crimes of 9/11. The death penalty should be applied to all of the principals and their accomplices, even if that means executing several hundred or even several thousand people, because crimes of this magnitude against the American people and the US Republic cannot go unpunished, and the punishment must be extreme to send a message that the American people will not tolerate such Treason -- not now or in the future. If allowed to remain unpunished and at liberty, these individuals represent a grave threat to the safety and security of all Americans. If convicted of the heinous crimes of 9/11, the death penalty is the only way to ensure that they or their allies will not somehow manage to attack America and Americans again. The executions should be performed in public and be internationally televized for the entire world to witness.

I do realize that there are some very worthy reasons to oppose capital punishment in many situations. However, it is also quite apparent to me that any show of clemency that might be given to the US government perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks leaves open the possibility that they and their sympathizers could revive their subversion of American democracy and their violence toward peace-loving Americans. That is why I advocate a policy of capital punishment without any consideration of mercy, plea-bargaining, or probation for the US government perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks and their allies.

No one in or out of the US government should be exempt from prosecution and capital punishment for the Treasonous attacks of 9/11. The planners and participants in the 9/11 attacks within the US government and their accomplices must not be allowed to protect themselves behind the specious excuse of "National Security." The true security and survival of our Republic depends entirely on this.


Needless to say, all other politics is essentially fluff-- meaningless trivia-- until we can kill the cancer eating away at this country: the psychopathic warmongers. The only thing that is equal or more important than these four issues is understanding the deep origin of all these evils.

UPDATE: John Kerry's speech, which was largely ignored by the media, was relatively strong compared to the other speeches I saw (Hillary, Bill, Biden) in condemning the Bush administration (Kucinich was decent in this regard). Importantly, Kerry spoke out strongly against torture:

This isn't nearly enough, of course-- but it is a very small start. How interesting that the media almost completely ignore the speech that mentions the illegal torture by the Bush regime (apparently several of the major networks didn't show it). Just goes to show how the media are just as much of criminals as the worst people in the Bush regime. I couldn't agree more with the article quoted above in also holding the media criminally responsible.

But clearly, the complicity of the Democrats shows in their ultimate inability to even verbally condemn the Bush administration for their many crimes-- much less pursue justice against Bush and his administration!!!

I now see Glenn Greenwald has similar thoughts as me, but of course neglects the important point that 9/11 was an inside job.

UPDATE 2: God's Gitmo. I love it.

Wood and Reynolds Qui Tam Suit Dismissed with Prejudice

This happened at the end of June, but I guess I never posted on it here. The outcome is no surprise really. The article duly notes that the court found how baseless Wood's claims were-- that she has no evidence for her DEW device, for instance.

More interesting I think is how in the article the author discusses if Wood is disinfo, and implies she denies it with one of the pages on her site. Except she DOESN'T DENY IT at the page linked! She only lists evidence of disinfo. The author also says Wood tries to convince people she's of sound mind by linking to a page Wood has on false memory syndrome, which doesn't prove his point at all. Clearly the fellow who wrote the piece has an agenda against 9/11 "truthers", but I found it odd that he mischaracterized such obvious clues about Wood.

Is Obama a British Agent?

Previously I would have scoffed at this item from Sherman Skolnick.

But--

1) Anonymous Physicist, who I trust, thinks Skolnick was one of the few honest conspiracy researchers out there before he passed away a couple years back.

2) It makes the allegations that Obama's birth certificate were forged in a more understandable context (and honestly, while it seems crazy, the certificate does look wrong).

One wonders if the recent "foiled assassination attempt" is part of Obama's legend.

While the prospect of a McCain presidency is quite frightening, if Obama is in fact a British agent, that definitely portends some major trouble ahead.

Question of the Day

Is it my imagination, or are there more videos of the 2nd plane than there are videos of the demolition of the towers?

One might think there would be hundreds of videos of the WTC towers going down, but curiously, the videos of this event are rather limited in number.

There are about 40 different videos of the 2nd plane (note-- page is huge and takes a while to load).

I don't think I've seen 40 different videos of the towers going down. Terrorize.dk had the biggest collection of WTC demolition videos and I'm sure there were no more than a couple of dozen WTC demolition videos at most (and curiously, that site has been taken down from the internet).

A related issue is that Rick Siegel said he loaded his videos of the WTC demolition on the internet, and then a company (Stealth) affiliated with the DoD confiscated his server. Curiously Rick has taken down the original article; thankfully I quoted the piece on this site.

Hmmmm...

UPDATE: The point I was getting at is that it seems likely that videos of the WTC demolition have been suppressed and/or altered, presumably to hide the nuking.

Biden

Bleah.

UPDATE: A good round-up of stuff on Biden here.

I should also point out that Obama could have picked worse; Biden is one of those Dems who sometime you cheer and sometimes you scream at for being an idiot.

Further, I think it likely that Biden will help Obama win-- so from Obama's perspective it was a good choice though not so exciting to the partisans, he really helps win over the critical pundit/blowhard crowd.

But of course, overall Obama is a huge disappointment to anyone wishing for justice after the past eight years of thuggery and criminality from the White House.

If Obama wins, it will be because he is one of "them"-- what the Democrats typically are in the past thirty years: slicker and more reasonable-sounding psychopathic warmongers.

Worst Terrorist Watch List, EVER

Yet another Bushco boondoggle:
The government's main terrorist-watch-list system is hobbled by technology challenges, and the $500 million program designed to upgrade it is on the verge of collapse, according to a preliminary congressional investigation.

The database, which includes an estimated 400,000 people and as many as 1 million names, has been criticized for flagging ordinary Americans. Now, the congressional report finds that the system has problems identifying true potential terrorists, as well.

Among the flaws in the database, which was quickly built by Lockheed Martin Corp. in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is its inability to do key-word searches. Instead, an analyst needs to rely on an indexing system to query the database, according to congressional investigators who learned of the issues from a whistleblower. Lockheed spokesman Tom Jurkowsky said he could not comment on a report he had not read.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of "potentially vital" messages from the Central Intelligence Agency have not been included in the database, known as the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDE, congressional investigators found.

A More Nuanced View of the WTC Tower Cores

Bottom:

Top:



Transition gif can be seen here. Their layout in the WTC cores can be seen in the architectural plans here.

I knew that the columns got thinner towards the top, but I didn't realize that they weren't box columns the whole way. The transition to I-beams was in different places for different columns (and a couple of columns were I-beams the whole length of the tower), but the transition to I-beams for the biggest core columns seems to occur roughly around the 70th floor.

This is interesting in a few respects. First, the weight of the upper columns was obviously much lighter (as you would suspect from design principles) than lower columns-- this makes any rapid top-down collapse mechanism all the more difficult.

Second, I didn't realize the core columns in the "plane" impact areas were not huge box columns. This makes the idea that the plane smashed through the outer columns than got destroyed by the core columns all the more unlikely-- especially for the WTC1 hit where the core columns on the 92nd floor were fairly dinky. Finally, this changes my analysis of the number of core columns in the rubble pile -- though as it turns out, since I now can calculate the exact number of core columns because I know their lengths, it makes the lack of core columns all the more striking.

NIST Blames WTC7 Free-Fall Speed Demise on "Thermal Expansion"

Whole bunch o' crap here from NIST:
GAITHERSBURG, Md.— The fall of the 47-story World Trade Center building 7 (WTC 7) in New York City late in the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001, was primarily due to fires, the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced today following an extensive, three-year scientific and technical building and fire safety investigation. This was the first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building, the agency stated as it released for public comment its WTC investigation report and 13 recommendations for improving building and fire safety.

“Our study found that the fires in WTC 7, which were uncontrolled but otherwise similar to fires experienced in other tall buildings, caused an extraordinary event,” said NIST WTC Lead Investigator Shyam Sunder. “Heating of floor beams and girders caused a critical support column to fail, initiating a fire-induced progressive collapse that brought the building down.”

“Video and photographic evidence combined with detailed computer simulations show that neither explosives nor fuel oil fires played a role in the collapse of WTC 7,” Sunder said. The NIST investigation team also determined that other elements of the building’s construction—namely trusses, girders and cantilever overhangs that were used to transfer loads from the building superstructure to the columns of the electric substation (over which WTC 7 was constructed) and foundation below— did not play a significant role in the collapse.

According to the report, a key factor leading to the eventual collapse of WTC 7 was thermal expansion of long-span floor systems at temperatures “hundreds of degrees below those typically considered in current practice for fire resistance ratings." WTC 7 used a structural system design in widespread use.
Yeah, whatever.

In any case, the obvious controlled demolition of WTC7 is ultimately a distraction from the nuking of the WTC.

A Penny For Your Thoughts? The Often Absurd Wood-Jenkins Interview

Interview of Proponents of Opposing 9/11 “Mechanisms” Duking It Out, The Often Absurd Wood/Jenkins Interview

by The Anonymous Physicist


I recently saw the videos, cited below, for the first time. They are supposedly of the interview “9/11truther” Greg Jenkins, PhD [Physics] did of DEW proponent, Judy Wood, PhD [Materials Engineering Science] on 1/10/2007, at a 9/11 “truth” conference arranged by James Fetzer, PhD [history and philosophy of science] and associates.


Here is Part I of IV youtube videos
. Make sure to see all four parts-- they are both humorous and instructive. (I would ignore the photographic pseudo-analysis at the beginning of Part I.) We can see that the interview seems to be cordial, with Wood and Jenkins smiling at each other at times. At other times, each appears on the verge of laughing. Note that some DEW proponents say Wood was tricked, accosted, or hijacked to do the interviews. Clearly she didn’t have to do it (or did she?), and could have stopped at any time. In Part IV, she does get up and leave.

But at first, Jenkins reads off her C.V., and then asks Wood to give an “overview of the proposed types of weapons used” for the demolition of the WTC towers. (Note first that this occurs at 3:33 [naturally]. IMO, this timing was the purpose for adding the photographic pseudo-analysis at the beginning. Wood looks troubled and replies, “We really haven’t gotten into listing them yet… just energy weapons.” Jenkins continues to press her, “In what form?” Wood replies, “Um…I don’t… [looking away & shrugging helplessly] I don’t think we even needed to find them…what we did was assemble all the pictures and evidence that we trusted [I would like to know who is “we” (if you know what I mean)?]. Here Wood comes off very bad, NOT knowing how to answer the number one question about “DEW.” This poor response is surprising, because one would think the #1 question about one’s “field” would have its “creator” with the answer either known, or prepared, unless this was not supposed to be asked? But her not being able to answer intelligently is very telling, or perhaps not caring to have an answer to this is also telling. Or there is no good answer, as there is nothing to “DEW,” as far as 9/11 is concerned.

The rest of the four parts contain the following. Jenkins, at times, comes off looking very bad. He says the WTC dust size was an average of 70 microns. My analysis (of Z.P. Bazant’s “work” here) showed that this is a lie and a fraud. We don’t even know the average dust size because dust sizes smaller than 2.5 microns were all lumped together-- when the technology allowed the USGS scientists to determine this down to 10 nanometers. If there were 10 nanometer size dust, it both skews this bogus, purported average, and forces the destruction mechanism to be nukes. Jenkins, at one point is obviously and massively lying about the “debris radius”, likely taken from the lies in the papers by Bazant or NIST. He does not say where he gets his 6X the radius of the towers, and Wood says a million times that, as ultrafine particles went far and wide. And Wood is much more correct here. Jenkins apparently knows well what ultrafine particles prove-- nukes-- and squirms to get out of that discussion. When he is either caught in a lie or a topic he wishes to avoid, he blinks excessively, looks askance, or touches his nose. Jenkins keeps insisting debris only went down, not up. (I guess they never showed him the satellite pictures, or pictures of streets a mile away.)

It goes back and forth, with one looking/sounding ridiculous, then the other. At one point, Wood smilingly admits to inventing a new word, dustification, and says “poof” as part of her “understanding” regarding the WTC destruction. It gets funnier when Wood purports that a standard microwave oven is involved in her “analysis” on the “dustification” of the WTC. In this regard, she says heat something up and “it will go poof,” and Jenkins corrects her with, you mean “it will evaporate.” But Wood insists on using her term “poof” repeatedly. Now this is somewhat surprising, as Wood is being interviewed by a scientist/physicist; and being videoed implies it is for mass viewing. So why use the baby talk under these conditions? Unless, again, one is ordered to. Similarly, Wood (in Part III) calls the outwardly exploding and then falling debris, a “snowball.” Now this may seem like more baby talk, but I think the raison d’etre for her “work” and baby talk is so that people don’t call what is in that photo, something else, indicated here. Wood, I guess, would call the two photos “snowballs”, do you? The related articles I have written here (wtcdemolition.blogspot.com), here (wtc-chinasyndrome.blogspot.com), and here (bloglines.com/blog/spooked911) include exposing all three Intel Hangouts of OCT, DEW and thermite.

Several times, Jenkins calls the towers’ destructions “collapses.” Wood incredulously, and smilingly, repeats “Collapse?” Almost as if she means to tell him, “Hey Greg, did you forget that you are supposed to be a proponent of that other hangout-- thermite explosions did it?” I too thought that Jenkins was a vociferous member of “Scholars for 911 truth” created by James Fetzer and Steven Jones, and that Jenkins has had articles supporting Jones’ thermite hangout. The only ones who use the term “collapse” are the proponents of the O.C.T. So maybe Jenkins forgot his script, and the interview ends soon after that, with Wood seeming to have had enough. Of course, I wouldn’t blame her if she were genuinely perturbed to find a supposed “9/11truther” use the term “collapse.”

A word on Fetzer here. I am well familiar with him, having read, years ago, all his books on the Assassination of President Kennedy. They are pseudo-masterpieces of gate-keeping and limited hangout! He gave away his own raison d’etre in one of them, when he denounced Bill Cooper for revealing that the fatal head shot was, of course, fired by Secret Service driver, William Greer-- which millions of people have seen on the Zapruder film. Clearly Fetzer’s job, with his JFK books, conferences, etc. was to try to hide the Ultimate Truth of the Kennedy Assassination. So it came as no surprise to me, to see Fetzer inserted into “9/11truth”. And to see him variously aligned first with the thermite proponent, then the DEW proponent--any hangout, but all the while trying AGAIN to hide the Ultimate Truths of 9/11-- the nuking of the WTC, and the China Syndrome Aftermath! The most humorous thing about Fetzer in 911truth is when he “lectures” on gate-keeping and dis-information. Talk about inserting a[n intel] fox to guard the chickens. Many now in 911truth have figured Fetzer out for themselves. And I hope my articles have helped make the source of the 9/11 hangouts-- thermite and DEW-- also clear to those really interested in the truth.

Here Wood proponents highlight the worst moments that Jenkins had during the interview. It’s pretty funny at times. Naturally its length is nine minutes and 33 seconds. The entire interview though reaches its peak of ludicrousness when Jenkins says to Wood “nothing goes up”; and Wood says to Jenkins that the only thing that went down was that someone had “a penny” on a ledge that fell over!? So maybe the Op was to have both these “alternatives” look ridiculous, and thus send people back to the OCT-- of which Jenkins gives away is where his heart really is.


Conclusion: Both Wood and Jenkins look/sound absurd at times because both their hangouts are untenable. Each is fraught with lies and/or vacuity. Both Wood and Jenkins come off looking ludicrous, at times, when each ignores the evidence-- including videos, and photos (including from orbit)-- that much material exploded outward, and then down; and much other material went up and away. But DEW proponents should stop saying Wood was accosted or practically kidnapped as she first seems happy to be there, and didn’t have to do it (or did she?). Wood could have either left at any time, or not have consented to go off and get videotaped. In that light, was the interview facilitated by none other than Fetzer?

This is like Jeff Hill’s phone interviews of alleged “plane hit” eyewitnesses, or video-takers. On the surface this looks great, as he appears to be exposing these people. But somehow, even when he makes it known he is a supposed adversary to those who he is phoning, as he is a “no-planer” (as I am, as all those videos sure are nothing but physically impossible, and “bad, special effects”/CGI) his subjects say they will hang up, but curiously, virtually never do. Have you not hung up on a pest in a second or two? How long would it take you to hang up on a drunken adversary calling you in the wee hours of the morning? Unless both parties, in such interviews, were ordered to do the interview? And sounding or appearing stupid with baby talk (Wood), or telephonically accosting someone in the middle of the night when drunk, makes the whole thing seem ridiculous to the wider audience-- often ending their interest in 911truth!! Just something for the wise to consider. The Wood/Jenkins interview can be construed as lending new meaning to the phrase, “A penny for your thoughts.” IMO, that’s the sum value of both “DEW” and thermite!

I have tried to inform people of the insidious ways of the intel agencies. Recall my article on “investigative reporter” John Miller who “got an interview” with Osama bin Laden in the late 1990’s? Miller turned out to be deeply connected to the FBI/CIA and was a godson to the real Mafia Godfather (Costello) as an infant! So the interviewer and the interviewee in many of these things are known to each other, and/or ordered by their same supervisor to do the interview. Be skeptical of every single interview (whether, in text in a book, or on video) in the conspiracy field! But once you understand this, you can see through it, and go beyond the surface, to the thinking of the intel agencies. This is sometimes good for a laugh or two, or it may help counter what you realize the real purpose is.

Elderly Female Scientist Called Most Significant Terror Capture In Five Years

I guess the CIA is really getting desperate for attention for their bogus war on terror. This just over the top:
The targets: The Statue of Liberty, Times Square and the subway system.

The suspect: a Pakistani neuroscientist with ties to Al Qaeda who had a list of New York landmarks, recipes for a witches' brew of chemical weapons and glass bottles filled with mysterious liquids in her purse.

Law enforcement officials believe they have "the most significant capture" in the fight against terrorism in five years: Aafia Siddiqui, a 36-year-old MIT graduate arrested in Afghanistan last month for trying to shoot American agents and officers.

The alleged Mata Hari appeared in Manhattan Federal Court in a wheelchair Monday.


Yeah yuh-- I can just see her blowing up the Statue of Liberty with ... her witches brew of perfume and lotion. But her story gets even weirder, as this woman was missing for several years and some think she was a US prisoner in Afghanistan for a number of years.

The New Paper from Steven Jones, et al.

The New Paper from Steven Jones, et al.-- A Pseudo-Masterpiece of Circular Logic and Inventing New Chemistry & Physics to Try To Hide The China Syndrome Aftermath of WTC Nuclear Destruction

by The Anonymous Physicist


Kevin R. Ryan, James R. Gourley, and Steven E. Jones have just published a paper titled, “Environmental anomalies at the World Trade Center: evidence for energetic materials”. As we shall see, this paper purports to reveal, in effect, new Laws of Chemistry and Physics in the desperate attempt to deny the actual nuclear source (China Syndrome) of the high heat at the WTC, for 6 months after the 9/11/01 destruction.

First I note that this paper was published in “The Environmentalist.” Curiously this is a Journal about environmental biology. Its two co-editors-in-chief are environmental biologists. And the journal itself says this about itself, “This journal acts as a catalyst for environmental education, identifying educational opportunities, and providing guidelines and the missing framework for defining the more viable management mechanisms useful to industry, governmental policy-makers and environmental professionals. The Environmentalist publishes the critical but constructive views of both industrialists and ecologists, through challenging guest editorials, in-depth articles, interviews and news and comments columns.” So it is pleasing to see that no journal of chemistry or physics was willing to publish a paper on this purported new chemistry or new physics; and it had to go into a non-relevant journal of environmental biology.

The article’s introduction begins with the admission that "For months after the destruction at the World Trade Center (WTC) on 11th September, 2001, the fires at Ground Zero (GZ) could not be put out, despite the following facts." Then it details that several inches of dust covered the entire area, millions of gallons of water were sprayed onto the debris pile, several inches of rain had fallen, and a chemical fire supressant, Pyrocool had been used on the rubble pile. Then it says, “The characteristics of these “un-extinguishable fires" have not been adequately explained as the results of a normal structure fire, even one accelerated by jet fuel.”

So we see that, unlike the other two Intel Hangouts of “DEW” and the O.C.T., the thermite hangout creators have not lied about the massively documented, great heat at the WTC for months after WTC destruction. However, the thermite hangout, of course, does deny the great heat from the nuclear destruction itself of the WTC, on 9/11/01. And the thermite hangout denies the well known actual cause of the heat in the rubble pile and underneath the towers for months after 9/11/01-- the radiation emitting [radioactive] fragments from the nukes used to destroy the WTC-- also known as the China Syndrome. Instead of admitting the well known China Syndrome phenomenon, here Jones, et al, desperately attempt to create new chemistry and new physics. Note that this is the equivalent of the ludicrous “cold molecular dissociation clouds” from the evidence-free DEW hangout. Except that these fictitious clouds are cold as was the WTC destruction, according to DEW hangout proponents. But we shall see that the thermite hangout paper at hand, claims “energetic nano-compounds” can release great heat indefinitely-- in violation of the usual laws of chemistry and physics.

I note that the authors use “fire” 37 times, while not once proving that the phenomena they write about came from any kind of chemical fire (as opposed to the nuclear phenomenon of the China Syndrome). Thus they prove once again how dangerous it is when one keeps yelling “fire” when there may not be one--at least not in the usual chemical sense. This is also very much like William Rodriquez inventing “fire” down the elevator shaft from the “jet fuel” to desperately try to hide Felipe David’s hanging skin which came from the thermal rays of a nuke-- as his own words state there was no fire that did that to him! I have cited three others who also had hanging skin without fire-- which was also a common occurrence for Hiroshima survivors.

Indeed Jones et al state that “fire” from “jet fuel” may account for some of the earlier findings in their article. This is particularly interesting because S. Jones very condescendingly writes how the “scientific method” must be used for any claims regarding 9/11. Evidence must be documented, and all that. So his claim of “jet fuel” needs to be substantiated. Obviously the jet fuel would have come from jets. And the authors must mean the jets seen on TV entering the two towers. But it has been massively documented that the purported videos of the two “plane hits” are merely CGI creations. S. Jones et al must explain how the plane’s wing blinks in and out of existence, how the plane made up of a plastic nosecone and aluminum body can pass through several inches of steel and even emerge through the other side through several more inches of steel unscathed, in violation of the Laws of Physics (Mechanics). Furthermore, they must explain how this pristine nosecone then instantly disintegrates after it has emerged through the opposite side, when no forces are acting on it (also a violation of Newton’s laws), and how there is no deforming shock wave passing down the fuselage at the moment of the “plane hit” that would have visibly, and almost instantly, deformed or destroyed the back of the plane-- the speed of sound in aluminum is 5,000 mph, as detailed in my article here. Now if the “plane hits” are just CGI, as is proven, it is highly unlikely that there were real jets, as real videos of real jets would have emerged by this time. (My articles also revealed at least one responder who called in a bomb after witnessing a flyby of a jet.) As one of the more famous videographers of the second “plane hit” himself said, they are just “bad special effects.” This was from Evan Fairbanks after the FBI took his video and “processed” it and returned it to him--minus all audio. So if there were no real jets, just explosions set off high in each tower, there was no jet fuel. And no “scientist” can write about “jet fuel” as a source of heat or energy until s/he proves the “jets” were anything but CGI.

Then the bulk of the Ryan/Gurley/Jones paper deals with very high levels of several chemical compounds found at the WTC, in the six months after its destruction. Much of the data on this, Jones, et al, obtained, in 2004, via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, for environmental monitoring data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WTC response. It is only available on CD from the govt, and I do not have access to this data. It appears, as noted by Spooked, that a selective set of five VOCs were used in this article for their hypothesis without any mention of other compounds that may not fit in with their hypothesis, that are in the FOIA data. But the authors make the valid point that their data show amounts of these VOCs that are thousands of times greater than the EPA has admitted to the public, to this date. This is criminal, on the part of EPA administrators and/or top govt officials who ordered the lying and suppression.

The authors focus on the levels-- up to 990,000 ppb (parts per billion) of benzene, styrene, toluene, propylene, and ethylbenzene, while the official EPA levels have maxima of only about 20 ppb. The high level spikes in the suppressed EPA data last for about a day each time, and are only found on several occasions with simultaneity for several of these compounds in the data the authors chose to include.

Then the authors delve into the fine particulate matter aspect, of which I am familiar from my research exposing the fraud and bogus physics and mathematics of Z.P. Bazant. The authors do not comment on what I have exposed-- that the smallest particulates were either not properly analyzed and delineated, or that data was suppressed. In particular, I-- unlike these authors-- showed that the EPA had instrumentation to test for particle size down to 10 nm (nanometers) and not merely lump together all particles with a maximum size of 2.5 microns (millionth of a meter). As I noted, proof of particles smaller than 2.5 microns virtually proves nuclear bombs were used, as the OCT of gravitational potential energy as source for the energy released during “collapse” fails when the smallest particle size is less than 2.5 microns. And nukes are known to create particles down to 10 nm size. Bazant flat out lied and said that the data said that 10 microns was the smallest size found. But here Jones et al, state that the 2.5 micron data show maximum readings ending three weeks after 9/11, while the VOCs show spikes into Feb., 2002. Thus they propose a new energy source other than “jet fuel.” They state that thermite is the cause of the “fires” that they say caused the short-lived spikes in the VOCs into Feb. 2002.

First they quote Thomas Cahill in his studies on the particulate matter and aerosol compounds. They include a July, 2002 quote from Dr. Cahill, “The air from Ground Zero was laden with extremely high amounts of very small particles, probably associated with high temperatures in the underground debris pile [notice he didn’t say “fire”].” Then the authors say that by September, 2002, Cahill appeared to change his mind and invoked a “new mechanism of anaerobic incineration.” The authors belittle this hypothesis of Cahill, but come up with their own “unique” hypothesis of “energetic, nano-compounds” that just happen to include the constituents of thermite! What it looks like is that the expert in these matters, Cahill, gave away the nuking of the WTC and the China Syndrome Aftermath (CSA), in the rubble pile; and the PTB then forced him to change his tune. All the while, the ludicrous Intel Hangouts push “new chemistry” or new physics” to try to hide the CSA. These authors say that the “jet fuel” is used up in about a month, so something else was going on.

The authors then spend a good deal of time on the compound 1,3 diphenylpropane (1,3-DPP). After noting its finding in the WTC studies, they claim that the usual sources for this compound don’t fit the WTC evidence. It then appears that an ad hoc search for a source of 1,3-DPP was undertaken that would match Jones’ longstanding claim that thermite destroyed the WTC. Voila! They have dug up some articles on energetic nanocomposites with compounds found in thermite. The desperate stretching to try to make things fit with their thermite “hypothesis” is all too evident in the last few pages of their article! At one point they mention molybdenum spheres. Is this the microspherules that Jones has written about as due to thermite”? But in reality are likely related to the fused sand phenomena well-known to occur ever since the Trinity nuclear test in 1945.

At one point, the authors write, “but the pores of an energetic nanocomposite are also filled with a mixture of fine aluminum powder, and one or more finely dispersed metal oxides…” Are they here claiming that all “energetic nanocompounds” must contain the elements of thermite? This appears to be nonsense. In fact on the previous page, the authors use the word “often” in their description of the creation of thermite-like nano-compunds. In other words, they appear to claim-- on the next page-- to have dropped the “often” and try to imply that ALL energetic nanocomposites are thermite or thermite-like, when this is not true. (Here they go too far with their circular logic, as well.) But where do the authors state that “much of the work” on “super-thermite” energetic nanocomposites was done?

None other than Lawrence Livermore Labs--where they do everything from designing massive nuclear bombs to “remasterminding” the audio tapes of the Zapruder film. The authors then claim that these “energetic nanocomposites” were “somehow [their term] ignited” on the specific dates, into Feb. , 2002 and so led to the spikes in VOCs found. No discussion on the energy source needed to ignite these alleged “energetic nanocomposites” is included. This leads me to ask the following questions: Is not an energy source needed for igniting these compounds? If not, i.e., if they are so “ignitable”, why didn’t they “go off” during the highly energetic, explosive destruction of the WTC, five months earlier, or at any point in between? The authors’ conclusion includes, "...Thermite, discussed briefly above, is such a pyrotechnic mixture that cannot be easily extinguished..." Really? Why then does this video show thermite cooling down in about 5 minutes? Note that it stops glowing and appears that its container can be briefly touched at about that time. What about this experimental evidence?

Well maybe these authors would then claim that the nanocomposites of “superthermite” can do anything required of them to fit whatever data are ever released about the WTC destruction and its aftermath. But physically and logically we must realize that if any variation of thermite was used as the explosive to destroy the WTC, it was used up at that time. There is no energy left, if it were used up as an explosive. Furthermore if Jones et al are claiming that thermite or “superthermite” “cannot be extinguished”, and therefore is the first chemical reaction to go on forever, they are claiming new laws of chemistry and physics. They also thus appear to be claiming that they have found the equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. They have also used circular logic by citing hypothetical “fires” to prove unextinguishable “fire” without any evidence or proof of a chemical fire. So Jones’, hypothetical superthermite “capabilities” allow it to both explode when his theory needs it to, and it also burns “forever” when his theory needs it to do that! How convenient, but how impossible. Note to Steven Jones: How do your superthermite molecules, when ignited, know when to explode, or to burn forever? Or are the very same molecules used up in the explosions, then resurrected for their later need to burn “forever”?

Now I have cited proven phenomena that readily explain everything that occurred on 9/11/01 and its aftermath. My archived articles demonstrating that numerous small nuclear bombs were used to destroy the WTC on 9/11 are here: wtcdemolition.blogspot.com. Those articles also demonstrate that the multi-million degree temperatures of the nukes vaporized nearly half of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the WTC, so that no DNA could be found from them, just like the missing furniture and other contents from the WTC buildings. But these great temperatures also readily provide for the creation of chemical compounds, in high amounts, that would not ordinarily be found in “structural fires.” Short-lived spikes could easily occur from agitation and/or uncovering, and collection of these fragments, and surrounding, affected material, during the six month long process of WTC clean-up. Due to the long half-life of Uranium-235 (700 million years), it was releasing high heat, in the spots where it was left over, until the fragments were removed. Again I have cited that a nuke only uses up 1-6% of its fissile material during its explosion, and also the likelihood of redundant nukes that were “fratricided.” There is no need to try to invent new chemistry or new physics, or a perpetual motion machine. My other articles on the China Syndrome Aftermath are archived here: wtc-chinasyndrome.blogspot.com.

Conclusion:

The above paper by Ryan, Gourley, and Jones uses ad hoc and circular logic to reach an unproven and untenable conclusion. No jet fuel is proven, no presence of “energetic nanocomposite superthermite” is proven. No statement of the temperatures attainable by these alleged compounds was provided. No proof was provided that these compounds can yield new laws of chemistry and physics, and cause “unextinguishable” and indefinite “fires,” and thus act like a perpetual motion machine in violation of the Laws of Thermodynamics. All the evidence indicates that small nuclear bombs caused the WTC destruction, and the China Syndrome Aftermath. It is well known that the radioactive fragments in a China Syndrome event yield very high heat for up to 700 million years (or until they are removed from a site). The phenomenon is called “China Syndrome” precisely because these radiation-emitting fragments create heat high enough and for long enough time (eons), so that, in theory, they could eventually melt their way through anything, and reach the center of the Earth.

I don’t expect that the creation of desperate articles like the one examined here will ever stop, unless and until the People re-take the USA and indict the perps who destroyed the WTC with numerous, fission micro-nukes, and thus created the China Syndrome at the WTC. Likewise those who follow orders and continue to cover-up these facts are also liable for obstruction of justice and conspiracy after the fact.

South Ossetia Truth, Now!

"This is a tale of US expansion not Russian aggression"-- excellent piece from Seumas Milne.

Another truth-telling piece: "The coverage of the western media has been abysmal. Nearly every article and TV news segment begins with accusations of Russian aggression concealing the fact that the Georgian Army bombarded and invaded the capital of South Ossetia one full day before the first Russian even tank crossed the border. By the time the Russians arrived, the city was already in a shambles and thousands were dead.

These facts are not in dispute by those who followed the developments as they took place. Now the media is revising the facts to manage public perceptions, just as they did with the fictional WMD in Iraq. Many people think that the media learned its lesson after they were exposed for using bogus information in the lead up to the war in Iraq. But that is not true. The corporate media--especially FOX News, CNN and PBS (the smug, liberal-sounding channel)---continue to operate like the propaganda arm of the Pentagon. Its disgraceful."

At least Wikipedia tells the real story here.

Gloating Over the Execreble Plame Ruling

Earlier this week, shortly after the Plame ruling came down, some scumbag from Navy.mil came to this site, leaving an "in your face" comment about the Plame ruling on an irrelevant post. Little did I know how horrible the ruling actually was. But I guess I should have guessed as much if a shill went out of their way to come here and gloat over the ruling.

Plame Case Dismissal Was More Significant Than I Thought Originally-- the US Government Continues Its Horrifying Trend Towards Fascism

Federal Court OKs Treason, Crimes Against Humanity:
The traitors and war criminals who have taken over our government are dancing with joy this evening, and rightly so. Earlier today, a Federal Court of Appeals in Washington granted them legal immunity for every criminal action they have taken while in office.

The ruling, made by a panel of three judges in dismissing an appeal in the case of Valerie Plame , absolves government officials of individual accountability for any actions taken in an official capacity, regardless of whether those actions violated federal law or jeopardized national security. In effect, it legalizes treason, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

Ho hum. Andy Sullivan reported it this way for Reuters:

Appeals court upholds CIA leak lawsuit dismissal

A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday dismissed former CIA analyst Valerie Plame's lawsuit against Vice President Dick Cheney and several former Bush administration officials for disclosing her identity to the public.

The Court of Appeals in Washington dealt another setback to the former spy, who has said her career was destroyed when officials blew her cover in 2003 to retaliate against her husband, Iraq war critic Joseph Wilson.


It's not only -- or even primarily -- a setback to the "former spy", as Andy Sullivan puts it. It's a setback to the Rule of Law, and a victory for the forces of tyranny. Perhaps Andy Sullivan can't say this, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Plame's outing led [to] a lengthy criminal investigation, which resulted in the conviction of Cheney's top aide, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, for perjury and obstruction of justice.

President George W. Bush commuted Libby's 2 1/2-year prison sentence last year.

Plame and Wilson sought money damages from Cheney, Libby, former White House aide Karl Rove and former State Department official Richard Armitage for violating their constitutional free speech, due process and privacy rights.

But the court ruled that the named officials are not liable for their actions, as Sullivan continues:

[A] three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld a federal judge's ruling that dismissed the couple's lawsuit.

The court ruled Cheney and the others were acting within their official capacity when they revealed Plame's identity to reporters.

Government employees who engage in questionable acts, such as abusing prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay facility or engaging in defamatory speech, cannot be held individually liable if they are carrying out official duties, the court said.

"The conduct, then, was in the defendants' scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States," Appeals Court Chief Judge David Sentelle wrote in the opinion.

It is interesting -- and horrifying! -- to note that this decision ventures well beyond the "just following orders" defense which was used by the Nazi war criminals and found wanting at Nuremberg.

It even goes beyond the "divine right of government officials" long desired by the Dominionists of the allegedly "Christian" so-called "Right". At least under the proposed "Constitution Restoration Act", government officials would have to claim they believed they were carrying out the will of God in order to be absolved of their crimes.

(snip)

And in the meantime, what about the rest of us? Because we weren't personally affected, because our careers weren't destroyed, we have no "legal standing" in this case, despite the fact that the ruling -- if upheld -- unleashes a most virulent form of tyranny, and despite the obvious fact that this is the ruling's primary intention.

You probably won't hear anyone criticizing this decision in the mainstream media -- and you might not read much about it elsewhere on the internet -- who knows? John Edwards had an affair, did you hear? Paris Hilton made a video!

So let's recap, shall we? A Federal court has ruled that some of the highest officials in our government are not accountable for their acts of treason, mass murder, war crimes, and crimes against humanity -- not because they were following orders (for surely some of them, especially Karl Rove and Dick Cheney, were giving the orders); not because they thought they were doing something righteous or Blessed by God; but simply because they held positions in the United States government -- regardless of the fact that these actions violated the most serious federal and international laws, regardless of the fact that they all knew their actions were deeply illegal, and regardless of the fact that they were never legitimately elected to those government positions in the first place -- or legitimately re-elected in the second place.

Furthermore, the court decrees, this immunity applies not only to the principals in this case but to all manner of American government officials committing all manner of horrific crimes -- including torturing prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Did you get that? Do you finally get it now?

The terrorists have won. The federal courts are now ruling that they are all beyond the law.

No doubt the perpetrators of 9/11 will be afforded the same immunity .

Secret Agents Everywhere

This is quite remarkable:
Before Julia Child became known to the world as a leading chef, she admitted at least one failing when applying for a job as a spy: impulsiveness.

Details about Child's background as a government agent come into the public spotlight Thursday with the National Archives' release of more than 35,000 top-secret personnel files of World War II-era spies. The CIA held this information for decades.

The 750,000 documents identify the vast spy network managed by the Office of Strategic Services, which later became the CIA. President Franklin Roosevelt created the OSS, the country's first centralized intelligence operation.

(snip)

The OSS files offer details about other agents, including Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, baseball player Moe Berg, historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and film actor Sterling Hayden.

Other notables identified in the files include John Hemingway, son of author Ernest Hemingway; Kermit Roosevelt, son of President Theodore Roosevelt; and Miles Copeland, father of Stewart Copeland, drummer for the band The Police.

(snip)

Information about OSS involvement was so guarded that relatives often could not confirm a family member's work with the group.

Walter Mess, who handled covert OSS operations in Poland and North Africa, said he kept quiet for more than 50 years, only recently telling his wife of 62 years about his OSS activity.


"I was told to keep my mouth shut," said Mess, now 93 and living in Falls Church, Virginia.

The files provide new information even for those most familiar with the agency. Charles Pinck, president of the OSS Society created by former OSS agents and their relatives, said the nearly 24,000 employees included in the archives far exceed previous estimates of 13,000.

(snip)

"We're saying the OSS was a lot bigger than they were saying," he said.


Just imagine how many secret spies there must be out there today-- in all sorts of positions.

Defeating the British/American Gestapo Regime, Part 2

The Successful Venezuelan Mass Protest for the Return of Chavez

by the Anonymous Physicist

In 2002, two Irish film journalists, Kim Bartley and Donnacha O'Briain, were in Venezuela to interview Presidente Chavez for a video they would make. They became video-witnesses, and documentarians, to a remarkable event. It was not the documentary video they had planned, but it ended up being called, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, a.k.a. “Chavez: Inside the Coup.” Google video has it as one part here. Youtube has it in eight parts here. No one on Earth is apparently allowed to sell the DVD! One place once did, and may again. Filmed from inside the Presidential Palace, you will also see the lies put out by the American regime, and its lackey media, during the coup.

On April 13, 2002, American-backed Venezuelan Generals staged a coup, and took Presidente Chavez out of the Presidential Palace in Caracas, the capital; and took him to a coastal island. An American registered plane landed, and the film indicates that there were plans to take him out of the country. Police had already begun assaults on the demonstrators, which did not deter them. For a while, the coup plotters had control of all the TV stations, and lied about the entire matter. The Presidential Guard, buoyed by the subsequent street demonstrations of the masses, staged a counter-coup, and re-took the Palace. One million people took to the streets, and many stayed there until they got Chavez back. 25% of the demonstrators were estimated to have guns. This then led to the return (from hiding) of Chavez’ Vice-President and Cabinet. The subsequent return of Chavez depicted is one of the most heartwarming videos you can see.

Now the American Govt/media continue to portray Chavez variously as a totalitarian, a dictator, and worse. But if the top people in the American Govt, and in the American MSM, want to see a genuine, evil fascist, they only need look in the nearest mirror. BTW, this is one way to see through the cover, and note which “liberal” media, either MSM or internet, are thoroughly CIA. These media or websites give themselves away in many ways. They support the ludicrous O.C.T. of 9/11, and they blast Chavez, and falsely portray him, or his policies, or his goals. I am not saying Chavez, or his Govt, is “perfect” by any means. But he does seem to have the greater good for the greatest number of Venezuelans as his goal. And, of course, the people who elected him several times, know that he is a vast improvement over what they had before, and what was briefly installed during the Coup. Despite American propaganda, anyone who sees this video can instantly tell that there is a mutual love affair between Presidente Chavez and his People.

Lessons from this story:

Lesson #1. Get EVERYBODY, and come heavy (guns). 25% of the demonstrators had guns. Get them, if you haven’t already done so, and NEVER give them up. Be willing to suffer and die. The People knew that life would not be worth living, if the American-backed fascist coup plotters were not removed, and Chavez re-instated.

Lesson #2: You need to have some military people with actual guts--instead of the current American military, and intel agency, wimps who only “follow orders,” and torture and massacre defenseless civilians. Note the crucial Palace Guard who re-took the Palace with some risk to their lives. Likewise, other military people then stood with Chavez, and their Constitution; and this snowballed, and the coup plotters were isolated and made impotent. The big fascist regime to the north (the USA), and its handful of agents in place were not enough to counter the will of the People. But the PTB do not want this to be known, so no one on Earth is allowed to sell this DVD, even though its producer would likely make a fortune! The PTB obviously and desperately do not want the People to know that they can win because there are so many more of them, than the handful of monsters that comprise the PTB, and their lackeys. Please counter this by forwarding the links to the video, or by making copies and giving them, to everyone you know.

Lesson #3: Get some military with actual guts to re-take a TV station, which helped get the people to re-take the streets. This then convinced the rest of the military to do the right, and constitutional, thing. Imagine now, regarding the truth of 9/11, if some American military took control of one of the network TV stations, and then revealed to the People, the truth of 9/11? Namely, that the WTC was nuked by the American govt, and the China Syndrome resulted for several months. Maybe we’d get our own Caracas here in the U.S.

Part I-- the Hugh Thompson story is here.

Funny How the US Media Never Mentions That Georgia Picked This Fight, and Now the US Is Apparently Escalating It

Piglipstick:
War With Russia, Anyone?

If you listen to or watch wretched corporate media in the US you would never know that the psychotic criminals in Washington are barreling full speed ahead towards just such a catastrophe.

Russia's obliteration of Georgia's military and subsequent occupation of the region seems to be a challenge that the fascists want to use to start WW3. Lots of people have tried to figure out why they sent their thug Saakashvili on a criminal rampage in South Ossetia. Was it to start a prolonged dirty little war right on Russia's border? A feint while Iran was attacked? Or was it done to deliberately initiate a major conflagration, which fast moving events appear to substantiate?

Today we're learning that the Bushistas are about to flood Georgia with aid, brought in by the US military. Knowing the duplicitous nature of this filthy regime one should expect that most, if not all of it will be emergency military aid for the beaten up Georgian forces. It's already public knowledge that Israel hasn't stopped delivering military material like it's been alleged.

'Israeli military aid still flowing in' - "Saakashvili said he is aware of problems with supplying the pilotless drones that his army ordered from Israeli companies, but not of the stopping of any other shipments of military aid."

Even though he's just another tinhorn punk installed by his fascist mentors in Washington, all along Saakashvili has seemed pretty smug that his masters would come to his aid. Just today he blurted out that "The Pentagon is readying to take over airports and ports in the former Soviet republic of Georgia."

If this tool is correct then it appears American forces will be set to clash with the Russian military because it doesn't appear that there's much of a ceasefire in the country. A half dozen Georgian coast guard ships were sunk in the military port of Poti. Reports have it that Russian columns are streaming across the border and are pouring deep into Georgia. Putin is no fool, and not to take advantage of his strong position to dispose of a regime with ziofascist sympathies right next to Mother Russia would be a big mistake. This is the hairy edge of brinkmanship like we haven't seen in a long time. If our fascists wanted all out war with a superpower that has the muscle and resolve to fight back then it looks like their time has come.

Because it appears that we may already be there.

Russian Troops Report US And Israeli Soldiers Killed In Georgian War:

"According to staff officers accompanying Colonel-General Anatoly Nogovitsyn returning from the battlefront, at least 7 foreign fighters identified as American and Israel soldiers have been found among the rubble of the now freed, but destroyed, capital city of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali.

The 3 dead American soldiers, these reports state, were identified by their uniform patches as belonging to the United States 173 Airborne Brigade assigned to the US’ Southern European Command, and who just a few weeks ago were airlifted to Georgia for what was described as a ‘war game’ exercise with Georgian Military Forces preparing for their unprovoked attack upon the Russian peoples of South Ossetia."

McCain's Advisor Scheunemann, Who Lobbied for Georgia Before the War, Works for a Company Called "Orion Strategies"

This is very creepy, if you know "ultimate truths"*:
Sen. John McCain's top foreign policy adviser prepped his boss for an April 17 phone call with the president of Georgia and then helped the presumptive Republican presidential nominee prepare a strong statement of support for the fledgling republic.

The day of the call, a lobbying firm partly owned by the adviser, Randy Scheunemann, signed a $200,000 contract to continue providing strategic advice to the Georgian government in Washington.

The McCain campaign said Georgia's lobbying contract with Orion Strategies had no bearing on the candidate's decision to speak with President Mikheil Saakashvili and did not influence his statement. "The Embassy of Georgia requested the call," said campaign spokesman Brian Rogers.

But ethics experts have raised concerns about former lobbyists for foreign governments providing advice to presidential candidates about those same countries. "The question is, who is the client? Is the adviser loyal to income from a foreign client, or is he loyal to the candidate he is working for now?" said James Thurber, a lobbying expert at American University. "It's dangerous if you're getting advice from people who are very close to countries on one side or another of a conflict."

At the time of McCain's call, Scheunemann had formally ceased his own lobbying work for Georgia, according to federal disclosure reports. But he was still part of Orion Strategies, which had only two lobbyists, himself and Mike Mitchell.

Cyberattacks in Georgia Before Bombing Originated in the US

Nothing to see here, move along:
Weeks before bombs started falling on Georgia, a security researcher in suburban Massachusetts was watching an attack against the country in cyberspace.

Jose Nazario of Arbor Networks in Lexington noticed a stream of data directed at Georgian government sites containing the message: “win+love+in+Rusia.”

Other Internet experts in the United States said the attacks against Georgia’s Internet infrastructure began as early as July 20, with coordinated barrages of millions of requests — known as distributed denial of service, or D.D.O.S., attacks — that overloaded and effectively shut down Georgian servers.

Researchers at Shadowserver, a volunteer group that tracks malicious network activity, reported that the Web site of the Georgian president, Mikheil Saakashvili, had been rendered inoperable for 24 hours by multiple D.D.O.S. attacks. They said the command and control server that directed the attack was based in the United States and had come online several weeks before it began the assault.

As it turns out, the July attack may have been a dress rehearsal for an all-out cyberwar once the shooting started between Georgia and Russia. According to Internet technical experts, it was the first time a known cyberattack had coincided with a shooting war.

Then there's that little detail about how the cyber-attacks originated in the US...

Interestingly, these cyber-attacks occurred around the same period as when several blogs were temporarily shut down by google/blogger-- including this one (for about 48 hours, from July 31st to August 2). I guess that should have been a clue that something big was up!

Interesting Racial Dynamics in this Presidential Election

Imagine the pressure on McCain, from certain quarters of the GOP, to prevent the first black man from becoming president. Imagine how much an equally charismatic but experienced and white Democratic candidate would be leading McCain by at this point, given the current economic and social climate. Imagine the pressure from the Democrat base on Obama to win after eight disastrous years of Bush. Imagine how much Obama losing would be a blow to the Democrats and the chances of them ever nominating a black candidate again. Imagine however, how the current climate might be one of the only times that a black man could have a good shot at running for president.

On the other hand, forgetting about race, imagine what would happen if we actually had a candidate who leveled with the public about 9/11, anthrax and the bogus war on terrorism. Imagine what would happen if we actually had candidate who was actually disturbed about government abuse of power and who cared about punishing the Bush administration for their many crimes. Imagine that.

McCain Even Worse Than Bush

Almost hard to believe, but this seems to be the case:
The foreign policy of the last seven-plus years has been an unmitigated disaster for the United States by virtually every measure. And John McCain would ramp up all the worst traits of the current administration. His instincts are always toward force and the people advising him come squarely from the Cheney wing of the current administration. In comparison to Bush he's not just more of the same. There's every reason to believe he'd be much worse.

The current situation in Georgia and his response should make clear to everyone how dangerous a president John McCain would be.

The Hapless, Hopeless FBI-- How About That 9/11 Investigation?

Since it is now clear that the FBI anthrax investigation has resulted in a complete sham, shouldn't it be clear that there should be absolutely no reason to trust the results of their 9/11 investigation???????

Shafted by Bushco

One soldier, his face a mask of exhaustion, cradled a Kalashnikov.

“We killed as many of them as we could,” he said. “But where are our friends?”


It was the question of the day. As Russian forces massed Sunday on two fronts, Georgians were heading south with whatever they could carry. When they met Western journalists, they all said the same thing: Where is the United States? When is NATO coming?

Since the conflict began, Western leaders have worked frantically to broker a cease-fire. But for Georgians — so boisterously pro-American that Tbilisi, the capital, has a George W. Bush Street — diplomacy fell far short of what they expected.

Even in the hinterlands, at kebab stands and in farming villages, people fleeing South Ossetia saw themselves as trapped between great powers. Ossetian refugees heading north to Russia gushed their gratitude to Dmitri A. Medvedev and Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian leaders. Georgians around Gori spoke of America plaintively, uncertainly. They were beginning to feel betrayed.
(snip)
“The biggest problem here is you, your country,” he said. “You said that the Soviets were an evil empire, but it’s you that are the empire.

“Not you personally, of course,” he added. “But your government.”

On the other side of the line of battle, Georgians had begun to question the strength of their alliance with the United States.

In recent years, Mr. Bush has lavished praise on Georgia — and the so-called Rose Revolution that brought Mikheil Saakashvili to power — as a model of democracy-building. The feeling was mutual: when Mr. Bush visited Tbilisi in 2005, the authorities estimated that 150,000 people showed up to see him. He famously climbed up on a platform and wiggled his hips to loud Georgian folk music.


More along these lines from Fred Kaplan.

Of course, this isn't the first time a Bush has egged on a conflict only to leave the would-be allies in the lurch.

Meanwhile, Condi Rice can't be bothered to interrupt her vacation to try to calm the situation.

Lastly, Chris Floyd has a bunch of good stuff to read on the Georgia issue: here, here, here.

Will the Media Now Report John McCain's Affairs?

I have never been one to care much about a politician's sex life, as long as it involves consenting adults. If someone has an affair, it just seems like it's the way of the world, rather than any great moral failing.

But now that the media has outed the Edwards affair, what is stopping them from reporting John McCain's? There was the reported recent affair with a lobbyist, as well as the well-known affair when he cheated on his first wife.

There seems to be a funny rule in the mainstream media, that Democratic affairs are always more noteworthy, and always more damaging than Republican ones. More on this here.

Note, the NYTimes story that very tentatively reported a possible affair with McCain and Vicki Iseman, was overall criticized by the MSM, and has had almost no impact in the campaign. McCain merely issued a weak denial, and the press ate it up. Shouldn't there be a new interest in this story, by any sense of fair play?

TV Fakery Used for Olympics Opening Ceremony

Interesting:
As the ceremony got under way with a dramatic, drummed countdown, viewers watching at home and on giant screens inside the Bird's Nest National Stadium watched as a series of giant footprints outlined in fireworks processed gloriously above the city from Tiananmen Square.

What they did not realise was that what they were watching was in fact computer graphics, meticulously created over a period of months and inserted into the coverage electronically at exactly the right moment.

The fireworks were there for real, outside the stadium. But those responsible for filming the extravaganza decided in advance it would be impossible to capture all 29 footprints from the air.

As a result, only the last, visible from the camera stands inside the Bird's Nest was captured on film.

The trick was revealed in a local Chinese newspaper, the Beijing Times, at the weekend.

Gao Xiaolong, head of the visual effects team for the ceremony, said it had taken almost a year to create the 55-second sequence. Meticulous efforts were made to ensure the sequence was as unnoticeable as possible: they sought advice from the Beijing meteorological office as to how to recreate the hazy effects of Beijing's smog at night, and inserted a slight camera shake effect to simulate the idea that it was filmed from a helicopter.

"Seeing how it worked out, it was still a bit too bright compared to the actual fireworks," he said. "But most of the audience thought it was filmed live - so that was mission accomplished."

He said the main problem with trying to shoot the real thing was the difficulty of placing the television helicopter at the right angle to see all 28 footsteps in a row.

Back to the USSR

I think Piglipstick has the definitive take on the newly started war. The whole thing has clearly been rigged up by the US, with some help from Israel, and at a good time for other distractions so the media can ignore the real story here. That is, ignore the US-driven instigation to the hostilities even more than they normally would.

The big question, for which I have no answer, is where this will all lead, besides more dead people.

Kathy Cacicedo Never Saw the Plane Hit the Tower

She says it banked around the tower-- even though she had a clear view of the south (impact) side from the vantage point where she took her picture!


More here.

Very odd. These calls with Hill are always very odd. I find it hard to believe Cacicedo would be so nice to a totally random person calling and asking her these questions.

Time for Wingnuts to Add Bernie Mac to the Obama Death List

CHICAGO - Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50. (snip)

Recently, Mac's brand of comedy caught him flack when he was heckled during a surprise appearance at a July fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate and fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama.

Toward the end of a 10-minute standup routine, Mac joked about menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language. The performance earned him a rebuke from Obama's campaign.


The Obama death list.

Ground Zero Firefighter Dies of Leukemia, His Cancer Blamed on Benzene Fumes

Kevin M. Delano, a firefighter who worked to find survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center, has died of leukemia.

The former Howard Beach, Queens, resident was 54 and died July 30. As a member of Ladder 142 in Ozone Park, Queens, Delano was one of the first people to arrive at the rubble of Ground Zero after the skyscrapers crumbled.

He worked at the site for more than 40 hours straight. He had hoped to find any survivors, but especially sought his close friend, Ray York, of Howard Beach, who was killed.


Delano's doctor blamed the leukemia on burning benzene in the rubble, but this seems very rapid for a chemical-induced cancer. The more obvious explanation is radiation from the nuking.

Coincidentally, the latest paper from Kevin Ryan and Steven Jones talks a lot about benzene and other unusual compounds being at Ground Zero. They blame these compounds on leftover thermite burning in the rubble. The more obvious explanation for the extreme temps in the rubble is the nuclear China Syndrome from left-over and/or fizzled nukes.

Ivins and 33

Previously, Anonymous Physicist has noted the importance of the number 33 for denoting "the powers that be".

Thus, I started looking for 33's associated with Bruce Ivins stories, since this is so obviously a story of importance to "the powers that be" (PTB).

And there are many---

Example 1. "He was married to Diane Ivins for 33 years"

Example 2. "These politically convenient diagnoses had not prevented the 62-year-old Ivins from enjoying a distinguished 33 year career with the Department of the Army." (The wiki biography says his career with the military was 18 years. Is this Green essay using the 33 years as a clue to disinfo-- or did they get this from another bogus source?)


Example 3. Ivins had just been immunized against anthrax. .... In his career he had probably received about 33 separate anthrax vaccinations.


Example 4. The whole series of NPR articles on Ivins all have the 33 in the URL:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93374304
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93333658
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93364741
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93364738
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93341389
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93305949
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93329953

They even have a 9 in there too, which like the 9 in 9/11, can be a version of 33-- 3 x 3 = 9

In several NPR articles on other topics that I checked, there is no 33 in the URL, so this was not a standard URL number for them.

Lone Sporeman, Part 3

Serious doubts about Ivins continue to be expressed in abundance-- see here (good one), here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here -- even the consensus on the very conventional NPR news program Diane Rehm Show yesterday was that the Ivins case was not convincing.

An important fact for Ivins' innocence is that he was quite incapable of producing the special coating found on the spores.

So, clearly, the FBI is feeding us bullshit by naming Ivins.

Interestingly, institutionally, there is an amazing amount of skepticism about the anthrax case-- almost as if the PTB WANT us to think the real culprit is still at large. Or want us to distrust the FBI. Or both.

Some other articles are worth reading, if you're not tired of this stuff-- on Ivins' apparent mental disturbance, and when he may have planned of the attacks.

This piece is great: "How Was Ivins Different From Padilla? Why Wasn't Ivins Declared an Enemy Combatant?"

Well-- one way Ivins was different was that he won a medal -- the highest civilian honor possible from the Pentagon-- in 2003! Hmmm.... maybe that makes Ivins MORE guilty.

UPDATE: FBI attempt to place Ivins in Princeton, NJ, at the time of the mailings falls short, as well as other concerns.
