HERB SMITH'S "EVIDENCE FOR EXOTIC WEAPONRY" IN LIFE & TIMES OF UTICA!

Herb Smith's letter on exotic weaponry was printed in the most recent edition of The Life & Times of Utica. Herb's piece uses some of the ground-breaking research conducted by Dave of 911 Blimp, and was written with his blessing. The Utica Observer-Dispatch did not print the letter, possibly because they couldn't understand it.

To the Editor,

Air samples from the 9/11 WTC particle plumes reveal the unexpected presence of many particles smaller than 1 micron (i.e., nanoparticles). Among the smaller Ground Zero particles, the distribution of their sizes--the upturn in the amount of particles as their size approached zero (UC Davis Delta Group DRUM Data, ALS S-XFR Analysis)--indicates they were caused not by pulverization but by widespread molecular dissociation.

When molecular dissociation occurs, covalent molecular bonds are broken but atomic bonds survive. The resulting particles--loose component atoms and fragmented molecules--are far tinier than what can occur as a result of a collapse or any conventional explosive event including volcanic eruptions.

The enormous amount of excess energy (temperatures at or above tens of thousands of degrees Fahrenheit) required for molecular dissociation is one of the unmistakable pieces of evidence for the use of exotic weaponry to bring down the WTC Buildings on 9/11.

THE "TERRORIST" AND THE MEMENTO MORI

This ad came up when I chanced to look at the Chicago Tribune's story about Jose Padilla.

DIGNITY IN THE MIDST OF DISASTER.

The EveryBody^TM Coffin provides response organizations with an alternative for managing mass fatalities by using a recognizable and traditional solution to a nontraditional problem. This unique coffin, with its patented, all natural wood design, allows for flat storage, assembly without tools and efficient stacking. For around $200, municipalities, hospitals and others now have an option when dealing with this public, yet personal issue.

Available in two sizes:
Large (MC4042): $195.00
Small (MC4043): $185.00


They REALLY want to keep us from thinking "outside the box" here.

UTICAN CARMEN CARAMANICA

Not at all related to 9/11 Truth, but Carmen Caramanica is our guitar hero. He's also a wonderful guy, and played for me and my wife on our 10th anniversary. (On a side note: Peter Franchell, the videographer here, assisted us in putting together the DVDs used in our live presentations.)

MICHAEL LANGSTON'S RETORT TO NO-PLANERS

I like Michael Langston, and he does a great service by posting a HUGE number of pertinent audios and videos concerning 9/11 HERE. He sides firmly with the Steven Jones camp, and is dismissive of more "exotic" theories of what happened on 9/11. (In some cases, quite justifiably so.) Here he addresses those who question the use of actual airliners in bringing down the towers. I'm beginning to consider the merits of the no-plane theory, as I suspect there is much more to it than is being pushed by straw men and women like Reynolds and Wood. The following material is presented so that polite discussion on its merits may ensue.

To All You WTC No Planers

Still agree with Morgan Reynolds that aluminum planes are too soft and fragile to have easily penetrated the World Trade Center towers as shown in the videos and that the videos which show this happening are consequently faked? Do you believe in this notion of "video fakery" and that there weren't any planes that impacted the towers, in spite of the fact that people actually saw them?

Take a quick look at the following short video, which shows that even liquid WATER can cut through hard steel, if propelled with sufficient velocity, a velocity comparable to that of a fast-moving plane.

If a tiny, soft jet of fast-moving water can cut through hard steel like a knife through butter, isn't it also conceivable that the tons of aluminum and other metal parts of a fast-moving aircraft could certainly do likewise?

It's definitely something that one should consider.

JOHN ZOGBY ON THE DAILY SHOW

I like (Utican) John Zogby. He manages to deploy a few good jokes--and there's a lot of truth here spoken in jest. (Probably the only way to get an accurate poll is to ask George H. W. Bush who he wants to be president. Public opinion doesn't matter when the elections are pre-decided by corporate oligarchs.)

John might have gotten more accurate results if he had asked (Utican) Herb Smith who was going to win, since Herb called it for Hillary ages ago.

UTICANS ENDORSE PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!

The Uticans for 9/11 Truth are proud to announce their endorsement of Les Paul for President in 2008. We realize there may be some concern over the age issue, and we understand that he has not previously held high public office, but Les Paul is one of the great innovative minds of the past century and he offers the insight and imagination that this country needs. Les Paul invented multi-track recording and the classic solid-body guitar that bears his name. The leader of the free world needs no further recommendation than this.

This is no time to allow the usual gatekeepers to determine where the velvet ropes of orthodoxy should be placed. Read more about this video series HERE. This is a loud video, so adjust your computer speakers accordingly. Also, watching it in full screen mode (and repeated viewing) will reveal many essential details.

OMAHA MALL SHOOTINGS: POLICE AND REPORTING COMEDY OF (T)ERRORS

Field reporter (and honorary Utican) Dwight Ward took L.A. Times reporters Nicholas Riccardi and DeeDee Correll to task for their slovenly work. Do we smell a conspiracy? Naaah. Just the news biz as usual. As Dwight said,

It's early days with this yet but I should say that I'm leaning more towards this not being an engineered event. Both the police work and reporting were careless and incompetent, as was the entire system of juvenile care for Robert in the last decade.

Here's the exchange (used with permission) between Dwight and the L.A. Times:


To: nicholas.riccardi@latimes.com; deedee.correll@latimes.com
Sent: Fri Dec 07 06:58:30 2007
Subject: Omaha mall shooting

Mr. Riccardi and Ms. Correll,

My comments and questions refer to your article of December 7, 2007.

Mall victims were just ordinary folks

The suicidal killer, Robert Hawkins, stole his stepfather's rifle. The killing was over before police could arrive on the scene.

By Nicholas Riccardi and DeeDee Correll, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers December 7, 2007

In this article you state: "They and five others were killed Wednesday by a suicidal 19-year-old who sprayed the Von Maur department store with about 30 rounds from an AK-47 rifle he had stolen from his stepfather."

Your reporting is now consistent with other major news outlets, but this was not the case earlier on. Previous stories have Omaha police chief Thomas Warren stating confidently that authorities recovered an SKS assault rifle at the scene (see attached). No one reports that Hawkins carried multiple rifles.

Setting aside the issue that Warren mistakenly refers to the SKS carbine as an assault rifle, it seems highly unlikely that experienced police officers would mistake one type of firearm for the other, as any American adolescent boy knows what an AK-47 looks like, and, while the SKS is more obscure, it has no similarities to an AK-47. It is equally unlikely that the description of one could morph into the other as it passed from person to person. Both versions are too highly specific for any explanation of simple error to suffice.

I will just flatly state that it appears to me that this story is being 'managed' at the expense of the facts, for reasons unknown. Is this major discrepancy a concern to you on any level?

Thanks,
Dwight Ward

You've hit upon something odd, which is that the police have referred to this as both an ak-47 and an sks. There hasn't been time to pin them down and they refer to an ak more often, so everyone has gone with that.


One final comment from Ang Riedel (of Think or Be Eaten; also an honorary Utican) on this exchange:

They 'went with it'? That's journalism? Going with it instead of finding out for sure? Sheesh.

BUY OUR AUDIOS!!

Now that Vyzygoth has closed down "The Grassy Knoll" he has compiled several series of note into handy single volumes for your listening enjoyment. For some strange reason, he has similarly packaged the 17 shows that Herb and I did with him. If you simply can't get enough of our sparkling repartee, there's about 20 hours of it available.

Also, Vyz will continue to post past Knoll episodes of special merit on the site.

STEVE JONES--AX MAN AND GATE KEEPER?

Though he is considered a sainted figure by those in the Movement (particularly those who stand on street corners shouting "Thermite! Thermate!") it behooves us to remember that there are certain issues surrounding Professor Steven E. Jones that call his credibility into question. In June 2006 Fintan Dunne did a program on Jones concerning his role in shutting down Cold Fusion. HERE is a link to that topic, with links to the program (both DSL and Dial-up).

UTICANS PODCAST ON WBCR BERKSHIRE RADIO

I heard today from Frank Tolopko, host of 911 Report on WBCR-LP Berkshire Community Radio (97.7 FM, Great Barrington, MA). Frank is planning this week to broadcast highlights from The Last 911 Podcast You'll Ever Need, which I posted in August. 911 Report is broadcast (with an internet stream) at 7 PM ET on Thursday, with a rebroadcast at 6 PM ET Saturday.

Here is Frank's website.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!

Last Monday Herb Smith and I spoke with Vyzygoth for our final "From the Grassy Knoll" program, now available for download HERE. Vyz is shutting down the program, having found the answers to his main questions, and having said most of what he wanted to say in that context. We'll miss the Knoll, but we understand. When you find what you're looking for, and achieve what you set out to achieve, it's time to stop looking and striving, and go on to something else. To do otherwise is to dwell in GCN hell.

Vyz is leaving at the very top of his game. No sharks were jumped or otherwise harmed in the taping of this program.

NIST IMPLICITLY ADMITS WTC TOWERS CONTROLLED DEMO by Kevin Barrett

We respectfully dedicate this post to the individual who so staunchly defended the NIST report at our presentation on September 24.

NIST IMPLICITLY ADMITS: WTC TOWERS DESTROYED IN CONTROLLED DEMOLITION

By Kevin Barrett

http://www.mujca.com

[Note: I will be speaking with Kevin Ryan, a leading expert on the NIST cover-up, at the Peoria Public Library at 2 pm this Saturday, 10/20/07, 107 N.E. Monroe St., Peoria, IL 61602]

Re: http://www.911blogger.com/node/12002

In an amazing about-face, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has implicitly admitted that its 10,000-page report on the destruction of the Twin Towers is a fraud, and that the buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition.

In its recent reply to family members Bill Doyle and Bob McIlvaine, scientists Steven Jones and Kevin Ryan, architect Richard Gage and the group Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, NIST states: "We are unable to provide a full explanation of the total collapse."

Thus NIST euphemistically admits that its 10,000-page report on the Towers does not even pretend to provide any explanation whatsoever for the Towers' total collapse--and that indeed no such explanation is possible without invoking the politically-incorrect idea of controlled demolition.

NIST'S 10,000-page report purports to explain what it calls "collapse initiation" -- the loss of several floors' vertical support. In order to dream up this exceedingly unlikely scenario, NIST had to ignore its own tests that showed that virtually none of the steel got hotter than 500 degrees f. It had to claim that somehow the planes took out many core columns, despite the fact that only a direct hit by an engine would have been likely to do so, and that the chances of this happening even once are fairly low. It had to preposterously allege that the plane that nicked the corner of the South Tower took out more core columns than the one that hit the North Tower almost dead center. It had to tweak all the parameters till they screamed bloody murder and say that the steel was far weaker than it actually was, the fire was far hotter than it actually was, the sagging was far greater than it actually was, and so on. And so NIST hallucinated a computer-generated fantasy scenario for "collapse initiation"--the failure of a few floors.

But how do you get from the failure of a few floors to total collapse at free-fall speed of the entire structure? The short answer: You don't. Anyone with the slightest grasp of the laws of physics understands that even if all of the vertical supports on a few floors somehow failed catastrophically at exactly the same time--a virtually impossible event, but one necessary to explain why the Towers would come straight down rather than toppling sideways--the top part of the building could not fall THROUGH the still-intact, highly robust lower part of the building, straight through the path of most resistance, just as fast as it would have fallen through thin air.

Thus total free-fall collapse, even given NIST's ridiculous "initiation" scenario, is utterly impossible. The probability of it happening is exactly equal to the probability of the whole building suddenly falling upward and landing on the moon.

Compare this to a hypothetical case in which forensic evidence proves a victim was shot in the head three times at the foot of a cliff, but the body was found at the top of the cliff. The sheriff, who has the most to gain from the man's death, brings in NIST to explain how the man shot himself in the head three times and then fell upward 200 feet to land on the top of the cliff. NIST produces a 10,000-page report claiming to explain the event. The 10,000-page report ignores all the forensic evidence that the man was murdered, offering endless pages of scientific gobbledygook distorting all the forensic evidence in such a way as to show how a suicide actually could manage to squeeze off three head-shots, and offering a scenario explaining how "upward-fall initiation" took place.

After we read the whole 10,000 pages, it turns out that "upward-fall initiation" simply means that the man lost his footing after being shot. Okay, say Steve Jones, Kevin Ryan and friends, then after he lost his footing, how did he fall upward? NIST responds: "We are unable to provide a full explanation of falling-upward."

It is not surprising that NIST cannot explain a scenario that blatantly violates the basic laws of physics. What is surprising is that every newspaper in the world is not printing screaming front-page headlines reading NIST IMPLICITLY ADMITS: WTC TOWERS DESTROYED IN CONTROLLED DEMOLITION.

UTICANS ON VYZYGOTH THIS WEEK

Last week, Herb and I recorded a two-hour program for Vyzygoth's "From the Grassy Knoll" that is now available for download HERE. We discuss the presentation on Sept. 24, the "boycott," and anomalies within the Movement including the curious battle between Webster Tarpley and a gaggle of pseudonyms.

"CLEAN UP IN AISLE (WTC) SEVEN!"

Not that I'd refer Wal-Mart shoppers to Alex Jones, but I like this guy's cleverness.

THE UTICANS INSPIRE A BOYCOTT!!

Just when you thought life couldn't get any sweeter, we inspire this thread.

The opening salvo:

Subject: BOYCOTT CAFE DOMENICO FOR HOSTING "UTICANS FOR 9/11 TRUTH"

---

Well they have finally done it. The crew at Cafe Domenico and their far left thinking have finally created so uncomfortable an environment for normal thinking folk that I cannot and will not continue to give them my business. On September 24, 2007 at 7:00 PM they are hosting "Herb Smith' (whoever he is...most likely 100% without legitimate credentials or a Professor at one of our left leaning colleges...think Ward Churchill"). Anyway he is "lecturing" regarding "how jet fuel alone could not topple the towers", in other words their is a far right contingent within OUR GOVERNMENT that chose to kill 3,000 of its citizens. The follow up to that I am sure would be so the President could finish his dads war or so that we could take Iraqi oil (funny how we have not done so). I can't wait to see where Rosie, Danny, Sean, Susan and the like leave off and "Herb" picks up. Its ok guys I am certain that you will have an audience full of 20 somethings (most of which have absolutely no direction or plan for their life) with their fingernails painted black "goth" style eager to swallow your rhetoric. To those of you 20 somethings I say question what they are selling. To the rest of you I say boycott Cafe Domenico and help show its proprietors how they have benefited from capitalism. Free speech is an awesome and valued right of AMERICAN citizens, so is the right to chose where we spend our hard earned AMERICAN dollar!

Maybe Herb and the crew from Cafe Domenico can get a grant from the Iraqi government or some other middle eastern company to open a coffee shop there!

Of course these are just my opinions.


(I wonder if this will inspire a boycott, as well . . .)

UTICANS TONIGHT AT THE OTHER SIDE!!

Uticans for 9/11 Truth
at THE OTHER SIDE
2011 Genesee St., Utica
across from the Uptown Theater
Monday September 24th, 7 pm

Herb Smith’s talk will focus on the twin towers and building 7. He will show video clips from the day of September 11th, blue prints of the towers, and images of other documented fires of steel framed buildings. The argument at hand is that jet fuel fires alone cannot account for the collapse of the buildings.

Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation

I just received this as a myspace bulletin, posted by FREE. Good stuff here!

PROPAGANDA, "PSYOPS", DEBUNKING TECHNIQUES

Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation

Note: The first rule and last five (or six, depending on situation) rules are generally not directly within the ability of the traditional disinfo artist to apply. These rules are generally used more directly by those at the leadership, key players, or planning level of the criminal conspiracy or conspiracy to cover up.

1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don't discuss it -- especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it's not reported, it didn't happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.

2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the "How dare you!" gambit.

3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such "arguable rumors". If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a "wild rumor" which can have no basis in fact.

4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as "kooks", "right-wing", "liberal", "left-wing", "terrorists", "conspiracy buffs", "radicals", "militia", "racists", "religious fanatics", "sexual deviates", and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.

7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could so taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.

8. Invoke authority. Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough "jargon" and "minutiae" to illustrate you are "one who knows", and simply say it isn't so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources.

9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues with denial they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.

10. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with. Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually them be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues -- so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.

11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions. Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the "high road" and "confess" with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made -- but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, "just isn't so." Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later. Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for "coming clean" and "owning up" to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues.

12. Enigmas have no solution. Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to loose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues.

13. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards with an apparent deductive logic in a way that forbears any actual material fact.

14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best for items qualifying for rule 10.

15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place.

16. Vanishing evidence and witnesses. If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you won't have to address the issue.

17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can "argue" with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.

18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how "sensitive they are to criticism".

19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the "play dumb" rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon). In order to completely avoid discussing issues may require you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.

20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.

21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body. Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, if you own the prosecuting attorney, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed an unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict (usually, this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent, but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim) is achieved, the matter can be considered officially closed.

22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.

23. Create bigger distractions. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes.

24. Silence critics. If the above methods do not prevail, consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entirely. This can be by their death, arrest and detention, blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information, or merely by proper intimidation with blackmail or other threats.

25. Vanish. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.

THE ANTITHESIS OF FEAR--THE ESSENCE OF JOY

Cubby Bear in "Croon Crazy" (1933). I love it!

TARPLEY PUTS THE "BUNK" IN KENNEBUNKPORT

I'm sick of being told to hide under the bed by The Boy Who Cried Wolfowitz. Webster Tarpley wrote a great book about 9/11, but his continued tactics to hold us in a state of nattering dread have reached a new low in this "Kennebunkport Warning" business.

I guess the new ploy is to get celebrities to sign a piece of paper, photoshop their signatures onto your screed of choice, and call them "liars" and "wretched individuals" if they say they didn't endorse the hot document. This makes 9/11 Truth look real good, guys.

We need to keep the 9/11 Truth stuff to the laws of physics and the such like, and stop pulling this Nostradamus crap. "Chicken Little" Tarpley has been predicting a "false-flag terror event" for ages now--which is one of the reasons I stopped listening to his show. I can't live in perpetual crisis mode.

Fuck being afraid. Life is too short, and there's too much good music out there.

UTICANS TOUR DE FORCE ON VYZYGOTH!

Herb and I recorded a two-hour program for Vyzygoth's "From the Grassy Knoll" that is now available for download HERE. In it we deconstruct "Zeitgeist," debunk the History Channel 911 hit-piece, and demolish Professional (anti) Skeptic Michael Shirmer.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH "ZEITGEIST?"

Whatever nuggets of truth one may happen to extract from this semi-literate, ill-researched production should be checked thoroughly. It is about the sloppiest job of filmmaking I have ever seen.

The filmmaker confuses "adorn" with "adore," calls William Jennings Bryan "William Jennings," and incorporates the whole Jesus/Horus parallel from the totally-discredited writings of Gerald Massey, who seems to have created such analogies in order to "liberate the mind from the dwarfing and blighting effect of pagan and Christian mythology."

Though it occasionally says some good things (and quotes Bill Hicks), "Zeitgeist" is a stinker.

The History Channel is Bunk

After fortifying my nerves with a few Saranac Pilseners, I went upstairs with my DVD-R of the History Channel 911 piece to watch it on the jumbotron in our bedroom. Despite my chemically-induced serenity, I started shouting at the screen within minutes, especially since they brought out that faggoty weasel Shirmer as an "expert," along with Hearst gayboys Miegs and his high-cheekboned protege. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Miegs couldn't build a crystal radio. And if Shirmer is a skeptic, I'm David Hume.

Perhaps because I watch so little television, my sensitivity was heightened to tbe semantic devices used in the Crockumentary. Anyone "they" said was an "expert" was, by definition, an "expert." And anyone with an alternate theory of events, was, by definition, NOT an expert and therefore a "Conspiracist." Call me anti-Semantic (but smile when you say that) I thought that their cheap verbal tricks (the "experts" "debunked" the "Conspiracists"--entirely because THEY SAID SO, case closed) heightened the aroma of this magnificent steaming turd.

And all the "experts" felt sorry for the "Conspiracists" because of their pathetic need to believe this stuff. Horseshit! I'd LOVE to believe that our Government was on the level, and that it had our best interest at heart. The more I look at this crap, the LESS I believe. Every day I have more questions and fewer answers. I'm not a Christian, I'm not a Patriot, and I'm an American only because my parents fucked here. The only thing I believe in right now is Louis Armstrong. And my allegiances are not to some amorphous "movement" but to my wife and friends and the plot of ground I live on in Utica, NY.

The History-is-Bunk Channel LIED about Bldg 7--it was built like a brick shithouse (steel reinforced). And showing the LC boys dithering and backpedalling on their new edition of the movie was pathetic. Between Dylan Avery's Prince Hamlet tapdancing and Alex Jones' steamroller certainty, as well as all the other sideshow freaks they put up for us to gawk at, there were more straw men here than in a Ray Bolger look-alike contest.

So anyone who doubts History Channel certainty is pathetic? Fuck it. Pass me that Saranac Pilsener, and turn up the Satch while you're at it.

The Last 911 Podcast You'll Ever Need

A lot of people won't like this, but it's all stuff I've been thinking about, and I felt it was time to say it.

The Subversive Lecture of the Tinfoil Hat Lady

Salubrious levity and satire from Beata Van Berkom.



Beata's interview with Vyzygoth may be downloaded HERE.

Beata talks about the Tinfoil Hat Lady here:

THIS IS AN ORANGE

It's NOT Called "The Bill of Privileges"

This is why we're in trouble. The former Unitarian minister in these parts spouted this hooey in response to a letter (that appeared in another publication) in the Utica area. No wonder we're on a slippery slope to totalitarian Hell:

Responsible language will safeguard free speech

Free speech in our country or any country is a privilege to be cherished.

It is best protected for the present and future when our politicians' rhetoric is truthful and not partisan, our courts speak justice and not favoritism, our news reporting is accurate and not biased, our pulpits are healing and not divisive, our conversations are factual and not slanderous, our advertising is honest and not misleading, our entertainment language is wholesome and not vulgar.

It is a wise people that nurture responsible use of their language.

It ensures that freedom of speech will continue in all segments of society as a noble quality that those before graciously bestowed upon us through their devotion and sacrifice, including for some, their very lives.

TIMOTHY HUME BEHRENDT
Cold Brook

And why is it always parroted that some poor fish who got his legs shot off in Iraq (or elsewhere) is someone we should "thank" for our free speech? Saddam Hussein, Ho Chi Minh, Hitler, or the Kaiser were never any threat to our freedom of expression. The only people I've ever seen try to take it away from us have been AMERICANS. The people who have been injured or killed fighting the bankers' wars deserve our most profound sympathy and gratitude, but free speech is an inalienable right. It's a given. No one can abrogate it unless we give them leave to do so.

For my further reflections on the First Amendment, read below for my response to the same letter as Timmy answered (to be printed this week in The Life & Times of Utica):

I respectfully disagree with Mr. Joseph J. Jacob, who asserts that the First Amendment needs to be tailored to "permit restrictions in the interest of morals and the protection of the reputation[s] and rights of others." It would be a grave error to tamper with what which has so long protected our public discourse from being dictated by civil authority. It is especially perilous to do so based on current fashions in Political Correctness--or on what offends you or me personally.

We need to consider that the history of this nation, when not viewed through the filmy gauze of nostalgia, is replete with bad morals, bad manners, insults, name-calling, ethnic slurs, and gleeful slander. People did not speak in mottoes. Public speech was highly rambunctious--and sensitivity to the feelings of others was seldom a consideration. Yet the Republic did not perish. Society regulated those who (in its view) crossed certain boundaries of common decency. An aggrieved party would show up at the Editor's Office with a horsewhip. There was also the quaint custon of tarring and feathering the malefactor, and riding him out of town on a rail. The Feds, what there were of them, looked the other way.

We are actually living in more polite times now than ever. A century ago, every piano bench and home phonograph was amply stocked with "coon songs," some written by African American composers. Ethnic humor was the norm, and clotted the vaudeville stages. Regarding some of these cultural artifacts fills us with a vague sense of guilt, as if we shouldn't even be polluting our enlightened minds with such images. The refined people of that day--our immediate ancestors--delighted in blackface turns and ethnic jokes, some of which were quite mean.

We are so sensitive now that we react to the mildest slur. The examples of offensive speech cited by Mr. Jacob are shocking anomalies, publicized and repeated endlessly. That they have been amplified in our minds through endless repetition should not make our Politically Correct knees twitch toward ruining the Bill of Rights. We are too quick to demand a law--or an Amendment--to remedy every problem in society. Flaws of character should not be subject to micromanagement by the Federal government. Someone who spouts vicious hate speech should be slapped in the face, ignored, laughed at, or socially ostracized, depending on the circumstance.

The measure that Mr. Jacob advocates to solve the problem of "vulgar" expression is likely to boomerang and curtail his (and everybody else's) free speech. When a law exists, it can be used by a functionary to wield petty authority to suit any agenda. When the authority is Federal, the word "Orwellian" comes to mind.

The primary unit of government is the individual--and we have to be self-disciplined enough to regulate our own speech and behavior. That certain public commentators lack the sense or sensitivity to avoid giving unnecessary offense is no reason to override our personal sovereignty with more oppressive laws. As a broadcaster, I never turn on the microphone without considering this quote of Oscar Wilde: "A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally."

WHAT HAVE WE HERE?

UPDATE (from Dave of 911 Blimp):

Thanks for making me aware of that. Neat video. Probably too neat, by about half? Not exactly positive proof...

I'm unaware of any reasonable hypothesis for why, if the 2nd WTC aerial impact was mere virtual-aircraft video fakery, was there also a flash-frame, just very much muted compared to the first. Why video-fake that (or the apparent partial exit of something)?

I don't rule out [some serious kind/level of] video fakery but, as with thermite, I do not believe that it can account for all the evidence, particularly the flash frames, nor some eyewitnesses who said they saw smaller-than-Boeing aircraft.

As always, we can chase our tails endlessly wondering what 9/11 was, long after we're able to prove that it was not what we were told.

That the video will cause some people to think is good. That it could then prove to be otherwise-explainable would be bad (though the script they were both reading from, in practical harmony, is not easily dismissed by those of us who've given up on being coincidence theorists). But since the dots have already been connected on the use of exotic weaponry at Ground Zero, I think it makes sense to be wary of hypotheses which help keep people from considering the use of exotic/secret weapons systems, the (possible multiple) use of which on 9/11 I am about as certain of as I can be. (For all the recent chatter about "directed energy weapons", AFAIC, IMHO, the best indication there is of their use on 9/11 is the flash frames.)

So I wonder about the fact that video fakery hypotheses tend to do for the anomalous-looking aspects of the WTC impact[s] what Barrie
Zwicker's lies do for Bush's repeated voluntary incriminating 9/11 witness statements -- get them disregarded.



My further reflections:

At this late date, I am loath to jump on any bandwagons. I'm sure Herb feels the same way. And my skin crawls when I look at some of the truly strange bedfellows given a shout-out at the end of that video. This video fakery crew, whatever the merits of their arguments, have that "either you're with us or against us" mentality that (in this case) makes for a pocket-sized mini-dialectic. And some, like Nico, take an infantile delight in playing with feces.

In the scheme of things, "video fakery" is moot. It might have been all part of the high-tech magic show, but it's not integral to the way the buildings were destroyed. It's a distraction, proving only that (surprise, surprise!) the Media are rotten. It's also true that many of the people saying the Media are rotten are themselves rotten.

There are additional comments forthcoming, and there are more comprehensive "video fakery" videos I may post soon. Watch this space.

DAVE FROM 911 BLIMP ON VYZYGOTH!

Dave (who operates the 911 Blimp site) appeared on Vyzygoth's "From the Grassy Knoll" last week with a discussion of the physics of 9/11 and the plausibility of exotic means of bringing down the WTC buildings that we highly commend to your attention. No dogma, hyperbole, or jumping to conclusions here, but after hearing Dave the thermate-only hypothesis begins to smell like a limited hangout. Download the program HERE.

They're all scum. Every single damn politician is filthy dirty. Right, left, or what-have-you. And don't tell me Ron Paul is going to save us. He's already speaking out of both sides of his mouth with regard to the events of 9/11/01. (To be fair, any politician who doesn't have at least two faces is not equipped for the job.)

The only way to save America is to turn the power pyramid on its head and decentralize everything to the hilt. But that's not about to happen, of course.

It's a train wreck, people. Who brought the popcorn?

Scroll way down to read what the head of the Republican Party in Ark. has to say about how to drum up support for Bush. Here's the quote:

He said he's "150 percent" behind Bush on the war in Iraq.

"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country," Milligan said.

Somewhere, Orwell is smiling.

How Green Was My Astroturf

Far be it from us Uticans to throw stones from our glass clubhouse, but it ought to be noted (without pointing to specific personalities) that a certain regional 9/11 Truth organization, operating under a grant from a state university, has installed a PayPal button on its site.

These guys need the extra money for--what? To maintain a website they update less than once a month? To buy bus tickets for field trips to Ground Zero? To further the illusion of a "grassroots effort" while they're sucking at the Ford-Rockefeller-Carnegie teat?

THE REALIZATION by Joe DeRosa

Our friend Joe DeRosa, who has been serving a life sentence since 1988, wrote the following essay in 1991. He sent it to me in 1994, and every year it seems more remarkable. Vyz was also amazed by the piece; he read it on The Grassy Knoll a couple of weeks ago. We've posted the clip HERE. Many thanks to Vyz for giving us permission to excerpt his program.

THE REALIZATION

by Joseph DeRosa

THE PRELUDE

At first, it seemed as though the American system of democracy would be successful. Throughout the mid-nineteen hundreds technological advancement--and the standard of living in the United States--soared to its highest levels. The people beamed with the ideology of the free enterprise system. Capitalism was at its peak. Most people were happy. Little did they know that the "LEADERS" were merely affording them a taste of luxury, only as a means of increasing initiative, and therefore production. Once a saturation point between the advancements in technology and the maximum levels of productivity had been reached, things started to change. The masses of workers saw less and less of the good life that they had become - accustomed to. Things got difficult and the expanded middle classes of the bygone era, dwindled into the abyss of the turning century.


THE STORY....


THE REALIZATION
Back in the epoch of the late part of the twentieth century, while people were still largely unaware of the conspired existence of the Democratic and Republican parties, the forefathers of our present majority movement, were forming the coalition that was to create the union that we now recognize as the "legitimate" Government of the American People.

The North American sector of the New World Order, which, ironically, is called the "Union of Soviet Americans" (U.S.A.), did not come about quickly or without resistance from the proletarians and the commonowners. It was not until the late 1990's when the vast numbers of oppressed people (who were improperly called the "Minority" although they were the largest part of the populous that made up the Nation that was then known as the United States of America), started to realize the extent to which they were being manipulated and exploited by their Government. Back then, most of the people had believed, since the American Revolution, that the leaders of the Nation were concerned with the idea of freedom, liberty, and opportunity for all. At first, it was easy for the rulers of the capitalist oppression - the "Elite". They deceived the low-class majority into thinking that they were going to be treated fairly. Nationalists were high on their belief in the American Way! And as the "Elitists" controlled the workers for over two-hundred years, they had set up an elaborate system of brainwashing that coerced the people into thinking they were functioning in a democracy. Most of the workers actually believed: that there was a sort of equal opportunity for advancement to a richer caliber of life; in the existence of a bicameral legislature; and, in a diverse political arena, where separate parties presented candidates for free elections. The people actually thought that they had a part in what went on in the country.

The system was set up in a way that cultivated an image of various advanced levels of class structure, of which were thought ascertainable by even the average man, through hard work and the painstaking efforts needed to gain the knowledge and skills of the high ranking social groups. And though not often expected, success was always possible.

We know now, of course, that the stratification structure was nothing more than a carefully equated diversion used to cause the workers to feel that there was a true incentive behind their labor efforts; that wealth and prosperity could be achieved through the sweat of hard labor, and the exhaustion of their inner selves. Seeking the "American dream", they gave earnestly and prostituted themselves towards individual goals of financial success, notability, and inevitably, a higher class ranking.

As the new technology of the twenty-first century advanced, so did the amount of profit that the Elitist Corporate Raiders could exploit from the workers. In the name of world peace and democracy, they gradually indoctrinated the people with the concept of an all-powerful centralized government. The term New World Order was tested on the people by respected high ranking officials, and the abridgment of long cherished Constitutional Rights was commonplace -- in line with the over preached need for domestic public safety. As the modern day Government came of age and gained their stronghold, little did the regular people know that statistics were being juggled and crime, drug abuse, and violence were being induced by the very sources that were fabricating a need to control them. Worldwide, many senseless wars were fought as the military perfected its weaponry. Here at home, with the birth of the "information highway", Government Agencies were formed to patrol domestic communications and high-tech surveillance techniques were sharpened. up to this point, throughout the country's growing stage, there still existed a large middle class population who, more or less, received adequate compensation for their labor. However, after technological advancement reached its saturation point, the need to create a worker incentive diminished and along with it, the hitherto existence of the middle class structure was gone. The hidden truth was that the only necessary separation of standards of living became those between the impecunious masses of workers, and the affluent "Elitists" who ran the nation. The fact was that given the advanced system of automation that was available, there was no longer a need for a "middle-man" in the work force. So, the lifestyles of the average citizens deteriorated; poverty was widespread and the need for health care was, as far as the Corporate Raiders were concerned, non-essential. As more and more control had to be relinquished to the Government, conditions worsened.

To appease the workers the shrewd Elitist Raiders had incorporated many convincing fallacies into the organization of "things". The biggest of these shams was the "Placebo Government", said to be. . . run by the people, and with the core of its legitimacy arising from the "free" election system. A multiple party campaign was designed to nominate candidates for office, by the "vote" or "choice" of the people. The idea that the workers were allowed, even encouraged, to vote for their choices of leaders (through the existence of political parties that reflected the aspirations of the masses), fostered a feeling of responsibility and importance among the people. They actually felt like they were in charge of the country; at least partially responsible for their own destiny. This charade of politics was played into the existence of a bicameral legislature where the House of Representatives and a Senate gave the illusion of a system of checks and balances, derived to assure the people an effective democracy. All this was, of course, a well staged performance which actually self perpetuated by making use of the idealism that working people were able to take part in the system, and sometimes even run for public office.

Quiet as it had been kept, and as real as the roles might have seemed, they were nothing more than the recitations of the scripts and acts of a big play. A performance that was solely created and directed by the handful of "Elitists" who were, from back stage, and out of the limelight of American politics, running the country.

Up until the shortest hours, just before the coup d'etat that seized outright control of the nation, we had thought that the Democratic and Republican Political Parties actually existed as real and diverse groups with separate platforms and ideas. Had it not taken us so long to realize that these parties were set up merely to create an illusion of political choice, we might have been able to handle things differently. Unfortunately though, it was not until too late, that we realized that this country's two main political churns, the Democratic and Republican Parties, were one and the same. They were created and controlled by a powerful governing group of capitalists who owned all the major sources of production. This group of America's most Corporate Raiders consisted of only a few hundred members, none of whom would have been recognized by any of the average working class people of the United States. They were a secret formation consisting of the world's most powerful. A dictatorship comprised of hidden faces whose interests were nothing other than personal prosperity and the ultimate power that comes from total control. They sought to maintain a position of international supremacy above all other interests; they were "gods" who ruled over all. Often, they would experiment with those subject to the system they had created. Sometimes intentionally causing shortages of food and resources, introducing crime and corruption, or even arranging wars and invasions. They amused themselves with the means to practice domination and display their absolute power. They were the masters and we were pawns to whatever satisfied their egos.

For years the troubled workers tried uselessly to elect an appropriate political candidate by supporting the Democratic Party, which was thought of as the Party which favored the Unions and blue collar workers' groups. As conditions worsened and their faith in the existing platform was lost, the people finally came to realize that it was only through the unity of their masses that they could climb from the depth of poverty and oppression levied upon them by the Elitist Faction. Only through a party formed from within their own origins could they rise to a level of equality. Thus, with nearly unanimous backing, the National Equality Party (NEP) was formed. The people who had been the "minorities" of the nineteen-hundreds had grown into the huge "majority" of the twenty-first century. With the great numbers of the masses now united into a common political coalition, in a democracy -- they could not fail.

Time passed, things got organized, and the NEPS chose a candidate for the coming presidential election. Support from the masses was overwhelming. The Elitists could not possibly run an effective campaign against the great number of followers that the newly formed "People's" Party, the NEPS, had attracted. Now, the common folks, the poor and oppressed, the exploited, those discriminated upon, were united together with the bond of class consciousness, waiting to cast a vote for their candidate. More so, they were ready to vote on behalf of their new party; a true majority choice! However, as the election drew near, it became frighteningly obvious to the fat-cat Elitists that their figurehead candidate could not possibly win. They were such a small minority against the now conscious masses who were united towards the common goal of electing a president from within the cross-section of their own roots. They wanted a fair and equal share of the profits; control over the means of production. They could never lose the election because unified towards the same goal, they overwhelmingly controlled the vote.

Shortly after the NEPS candidate had been chosen, the powerful Elitists announced, through their own official media, that the Presidential election was going to be canceled! When the news hit the streets, chaos broke out! The workers began demanding the right to a free election.

Opinions were clear that rebellion was immanent. Protests started and demonstrations were being staged everywhere. The Elitists well trained and equipped military sought to subdue the crowds who, in the streets of our Nation's Capitol as well as in the other major cities across the counrty, had started demonstrating for their rights. Almost as suddenly as the people's rallies had started -- the State soldiers moved in. Shots were fired into the crowds! Protesters were killed and artillery was deployed against the citizens of the United States.

The violent wrath of the leviathan dictators had finally shone its ugly face. The Raiders of the Elitist Oligarchy that had been secretly running the country for so long, descendants of those prominent for over two hundred years, had emerged from behind their cloak of ambiguity. But, it didn't really matter. America had never been free.

Bay Bridge Melt Does Not "Debunk" WTC Demolition Theory

When the fuel tanker crashed and caused the SF Bay area bridge to melt like a Hershey Bar in the sun, the Neo-Con yakkers immediately used the incident to bash Rosie O'Donnell ("put down your turkey leg, Rosie!") and 9/11 Truth in general. "Experts" immediately came out to compare the bridge melt to the WTC demolitions, such as these eminences quoted in the Contra-Costa Times:

The extent of Mosqueda's fuel load was unclear Sunday. But at least 8,600 gallons of unleaded gasoline ignited in a continuous roar -- more fuel than burned inside the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001 -- and turned the 20-foot space between I-880, where Mosqueda crashed into a guard rail, and the I-580 overhead into an oven that roasted the exposed steel girders to more than 2,000 degrees.

At 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, steel in girders and bolts goes soft, said Astaneh-Asl, who studied the collapse of World Trade Center towers for the National Science Foundation.

"When steel gets that warm, it loses its strength and cannot carry its load any more," he said. "It's not to say the steel melted. Some portions may have melted, but the steel got soft, like rubber."

Other experts say structural failure can come at even lower temperatures.

"The bottom line is this kind of thing can happen," said Forman Williams, a pre-eminent combustion expert at UC San Diego, who was tapped by the federal government to explain the World Trade Center collapse. "It is a rare event, but all of these are rare events, and the more of these you can protect against, the better off you are. ... You don't know until you do the study."

Even while Schnitt, Boortz, Ingraham, and other pro-administration propagandists sharpened their knives on this nugget, 9/11 Truthers were wide-awake and ready to counter their inane assault.

The Jones Boys (Alex and Steve) were vigilant in slapping down the Kool-Aid quaffers on Alex's April 30 broadcast. Download it HERE (longer segment, 16k) or HERE (32k). Indeed, where were the clouds indicating pyroclastic flow? Instead of lolling there suggestively like the Rolling Stones tongue logo, why didn't the bridge just go "poof" a la the WTC towers?

We're not talking about three buildings that were massively overbuilt to withstand anything but intentional demolition. Bridges are notoriously flimsy, are made of thin steel wrapped in concrete and asphalt, and manage to collapse and/or burn all the time. There's nothing truly analogous here. The WTC towers and WTC 7 did not "turn to rubber" and sag in high-heat fires. They were intentionally and demonstrably blown up.
