    • Man Arrested in Las Vegas Ricin Case

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      An unemployed graphic designer who authorities believe was nearly killed by ricin was arrested Wednesday on federal charges that he possessed the deadly toxin as part of an ''exotic idea,'' never carried out, to poison his enemies.

    • Mission accomplished, part deux (and part trois?)

      Posted by udamnskippy from Scholarsandrogues

       

      Mr. President, if they’re still shooting at you, you should be careful about declaring victory. If your soldiers, as they walk down the road, have to confront the possibility that each step might be their last because the locals have planted a bumper crop of IEDs, the fat lady hasn’t yet sung. If your policies are serving as the enemy’s greatest ongoing recruiting tool, the war is far from over. And most importantly, winning a battle - which you may or may not have done - is a significantly different thing from winning the war.

    • The Year in Hate

      Posted by okami

      The latest annual count of hate groups operating in the United States rose to 888 last year, capping a 48 percent increase since 2000.


      (THESE are the terrorists Americans should be worrying about.)

    • Rapid Pentagon Report on Saddam's Iraq Censored?

      Posted by okami from Blogs.abcnews

      ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports: The Bush Administration apparently does not want a U.S. military study that found no direct connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda to get any attention.  This morning, the Pentagon cancelled plans to send out a press release announcing the report's release and will no longer make the report available online.

    Report Says Fire, Not Explosion, Felled 7 W.T.C.

    I would be more than happy to do that.

    The primary problem with this is that NIST will not share it’s data with the public, which as you know, is crucial to giving any validity to their claims. They base most of their conclusions on black box computer models in which they tweak variables to meet their conclusions. Chemist Kevin Ryan and Dr. Jones has written extensively about this here:

    www.journalof911studies.com , and note this:

    journalof911studies.com/volume/200704/JonesWTC911SciMethod.pdf

    Further, their recent wtc7 report does the same thing, and in fact ignores crucial evidence which i’ve already mentioned; namely, the presense of motlen metal plus NASA satellite images showing temperatures on the order of 1400 F weeks after the 11th (office fires NIST acknowleges didn’t reach above 500-600 degrees whereas the melting point of steel is around 2700 degrees F), temperatures far higher than office fires can reach, as well as the presence of forensic data showing the residue of thermite. Don’t forget also that they don’t explain the near free fall speed at which building 7 fell, indicating universal and symmetrical failure of all columns simultaneously.

    The idea that random office fires can coordinate itself to cause immediate, universal and symmetrical collapse of a tall building straight down into its own foot print in near free fall speed is beyond ridiculous. At that point, any reasonable scientist will demand data or simply ridicule such a conclusion. NIST won’t let us see their computer models, so all we have left is ridicule and much better hypotheses (controlled demolition).

    Here’s the start of that Italian documentary "Zero" i mentioned earlier (clip 1 of 12, follow links to other clips):

    I’m not a chemist or a forensic anything. I have a moldy biology degree and that’s about it. I actually started out being interested in the 911truth arguments and quite willing to hear them. Obviously I’ve since changed my mind.

    I suppose the only reasonable thing to do here is to have agitkid, Dr. Stevens, et al., on one side of the gym debate floor and the army of engineers and scientsists who say (Ummm… no.) on the other side of the debate floor.

    Report Says Fire, Not Explosion, Felled 7 W.T.C.

    I’m a chemist. I’ve used various forms of spectroscopy. the results of Dr. Steven Jones’ work using XEDS (x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy) showing the key forensic signature of thermite is daming evidence for the presence of a modified high explosive for this incendiary, including the presence of molten metal in the form of iron rich microspheres. Nothing explained by NIST can be considered anything but a coverup. Also, don’t take koroth’s word for it, go and actually listen to the press conference i posted above and engage them with your questions.

    For a detailed explanation of these issues, i encourage  readers to visit the online peer reviewed scientific journal on this and many other issues here:

    http://www.journalof911studies.com

    For other readers interested in getting at the facts of what was left out of this most recent, and anti-scientific, nonsense that NIST calls a report, you can write directly to mechanical and structural enginners at this site (now over 400 hundred credentialed experts who’ve put their name and credentials on the line to call for a new investigation):

    http://www.ae911truth.org

    I tend to stick with the science, but there is a lot more that is just disinformation in the official story that is well covered by the Italian documentary Zero ( on youtube), and the German documentary here:

    Actually, I’ve done a lot of research into it. The towers and associated buildings dropped due to airplane impacts and associated fire and impact/collapse effects. That’s been pretty conclusively proven by a whole lot of engineers, metallurgists, and other pretty smart people. That steel beams will fail under moderately high temps has been adequately demonstrated.

    The, um, alternative conclusions have been shown to be wrong.

    The official investigation is a fraud. Spend some time and do the research. Architects and engineers from www.ae911truth.org held a press conference on Aug 21 to respond to this report. You can listen to the press conference here:

    This won’t silence the usual crowd, but it’s good that these guys did this report.

    I think that a lot of building developers and engineers have learned a lot since 9/11. Hopefully they put it to good use with their next developments.

    Anthrax suspect Ivins commits suicide

    This story is very suspicious … the neocons seem bent on sweeping this one under the rug before the administration changes. The alleged ‘suicide’ is most convenient and the lack of any real facts around this case smells pretty bad …

    The ‘Justice" Department is run by who?  And who appointed him? And who were the targets of the anthrax attacks  ...  Democrats and Tom Brokaw, in case you’ve all forgotten.
