We keep electing an entire government that acts against our interests. To ask them for a new investigation into 9/11is to ask for a second cover-up. That is dumb on our part.
We keep failing to use the 9/11 inside job to create a third party because we are afraid to attack this entire government for its unanimous decision to protect the only possible suspects who knew we would be attacked. Only the President has the power to order the preparation for the WTC controlled demolition to make the attack a far greater catastrophe than it would have been.
Here is the sworn testimony by National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice:
“For the essential crisis management task, we depended on the Counterterrorism Security Group chaired by Dick Clarke to be the interagency nerve center. The CSG consisted of senior counterterrorism experts from CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Defense Department (including the Joint Chiefs of Staff), the State Department, and the Secret Service.
The CSG had met regularly for many years, and its members had worked through numerous periods of heightened threat activity. As threat information increased, the CSG met more frequently, sometimes daily, to review and analyze the threat reporting and to coordinate actions in response. CSG members also had ready access to their Cabinet Secretaries and could raise any concerns they had at the highest levels.
The threat reporting that we received in the spring and summer of 2001 was not specific as to time, nor place, nor manner of attack. Almost all of the reports focused on al Qaeda activities outside the United States, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.
In fact, the information that was specific enough to be actionable referred to terrorist operations overseas. More often, it was frustratingly vague. Let me read you some of the actual chatter that we picked up that spring and summer:
"Unbelievable news coming in weeks," "Big event ... there will be a very, very, very, very big uproar," "There will be attacks in the near future."
"Troubling, yes. But they don't tell us when; they don't tell us where; they don't tell us who; and they don't tell us how.”

Testimony by Rice to 9/11 Commission
Putting 9/11 Controlled Demolition In Context
To be able to see the evidence of controlled demolition that collapsed the WTC is very easy if you decide to look at it with an open mind.
After making progress by viewing the evidence that is obvious and unequivocal the next step must be to consider who could order that crime. There were thousands of pieces of the columns that the video shows blasted out from the explosions. Here is the link.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/nasathermalimages/public/video/Pretext.wmv
There had to be an explosive charge placed at every single end of each of the pieces of columns that came crashing to the ground. Every single charge needed to be mounted by an expert who was trained for that work. The team of experts had to be allowed by the security force at the WTC to perform the necessary work of not only rigging every single charge but also of connecting the detonation needed to synchronize the explosions to make the towers collapse in free fall time.
The team of experts was intelligent, trained people who knew that firefighters would be in the buildings rescuing people when the North and South towers were exploded. The team of experts needed to be ordered to do their work by a powerful government official who had knowledge that the 9/11 attack would be coming soon.
Condoleezza Rice testified to the 9/11 Commission on Wednesday May 19, 2004, that the warnings she had of the attack failed to specify the exact time or from which airports the attack would emanate. Her knowledge of the attacks was known by the President too. What team of experts would be allowed by the WTC security force to rig the explosive devices that collapsed all three buildings?
Here are the verbatim, transcribed words by National Security Advisor Rice, “For the essential crisis management task, we depended on the Counterterrorism Security Group chaired by Dick Clarke to be the interagency nerve center. The CSG consisted of senior counterterrorism experts from CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Defense Department (including the Joint Chiefs of Staff), the State Department, and the Secret Service.

Troubling, yes. But they don't tell us when; they don't tell us where; they don't tell us who; and they don't tell us how.”
To order the preparations for the controlled demolition of the WTC you don’t need to know when, where, who, and how the attack will come. We know for a fact that controlled demolition was used to embellish the attack and we know directly from Rice’s testimony under oath that her team used that knowledge.
They are on record during the first two NSC meetings in January and February 2001 declaring their desire to attack Iraq. They are on record hundreds of times using the 9/11 attack as a reason that Bush used to attack Iraq.
Failing or refusing to connect the known controlled demolition to the only suspect with the power to rig the necessary explosives in the WTC is ignorant.

The Nation journalistic critique
The Nation’s journalists need to review their own behavior
Re: The irony of Eyes Wide Shut by The Nation’s staff who have been hit over the head by preposterous, overwhelming evidence that was heard and seen by witnesses at the WTC collapse of all three buildings that (randomly) crashed at free fall speed into their own footprint.
For the entire Nation staff to accept the 9/11 Commission version when it excluded any mention of the Building 7 collapse, and excluded the testimony of credible witnesses – makes its own observations of David Broder trivial.
Were the reporters and firefighters at the WTC on 9/11 all hallucinating when they remarked on tape that they heard explosions? Can massive steel columns throughout the center of those buildings be slashed into pieces by the heat of a jet fuel fire?
Here is the precise quote by CBS anchor Dan Rather. “We’re going to show you a video tape of the collapse itself. For the third time today we’re going to show you, it is reminiscent of a building deliberately destroyed by dynamite to knock it down.”
Does Dan’s silence fail to make you journalists suspicious? Why has Dan’s prominence disappeared? David Broder was a pipsqueak compared to Dan Rather.
Architect Richard Gage uses his professional knowledge to scientifically describe why the 9/11 Commission’s Report should hit you between the eyes for its being ludicrous
http://www.911blogger.com/node/10025
Will your eyes remain wide shut on this issue while you concentrate on the comments of Peggy Noonan and David Broder? How much time would it take experts to rig the necessary charges needed to make all three buildings collapse? Who has the power to order the charges rigged to explode synchronistically? Who has the power to order the NORAD F-16’s to leave their post?

Notre Dame invites Obama and then protests him.
The media keeps broadcasting the protest of having President Obama deliver a commencement speech for its graduation ceremony. It didn't occur to any reporter that Obama didn't invite himself to be the speaker. I'll give Notre Dame credit for remembering that its administration invited Obama with its intention to inflame the abortion issue with protests.
The only other possible issue would be stupidity. Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel never questioned a potential protest on the abortion issue.

Bush Ordered the WTC Demolition on 9/11
Education needs to be a process of learning and thinking. HCC students and faculty have a stake as citizens to learn the truth of the 9/11 attack by studying the evidence that has been presented by a very thoughtful, knowledgeable person who gave an informative speech about explosions that were heard at the moment each of the three separate WTC Towers collapsed in free fall time and into its own footprint.
There is no other crime in America that is comparable to the 9/11 attack including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. If your mind is open and you desire to see the evidence please watch the speech by Richard Gage at this web address
http://www.911blogger.com/node/10025
Dan Rather CBS nightly news anchor stated, “We’re going to show you a video tape of the collapse itself. For the third time today we’re going to show you, it is reminiscent of a building deliberately destroyed by dynamite to knock it down.”
The comments by CBS reporter Dan Rather and other witnesses at the WTC scene were never repeated since those moments on 9/11. That contrasts to the current story being replayed over and over right now when Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez met President Obama, shook his hand, and handed him a copy of his book. Last month there were hundreds of broadcasts of Olympic swimming great Michael Phelps smoking a bong. Why do media producers make these choices?
To be able to grasp the validity and purpose of the media it is important to be able to evaluate the censorship of an overwhelming event – explosions at the moment of the collapse of all three WTC buildings – compared to repeated broadcasts of inconsequential occurrences. For the entire American nation to ignore the comparison of news broadcasts that fills our minds with trivial nonsense while it censors a devastating crime capable only by the Commander in Chief is the essential issue being raised.
There are many other facts and evidence that point directly at President Bush besides the explosions that collapsed the WTC. Another fact is that the NORAD F-16 jet fighters stationed at Andrews AFB, 15 miles from DC, to protect the Pentagon from enemy attack were ordered to leave their post to be in a training exercise 180 miles south in North Carolina. I served in the Navy on board submarine USS Trigger and stood watch armed with a loaded .45 to prevent boarders on the boat and on the pier. Leaving that post would result in a Court Martial. Only the Commander in Chief has the power to order the NORAD General Ralph Eberhardt to have his pilots abandon the post. The Air Force has hundreds of F-16’s that could have been used for the training mission in North Carolina.
Which conspiracy theory do you prefer to believe? There is the government’s theory or there is the conspiracy reality proven by the evidence that Richard Gage presents that shows the footage and the commentary being broadcast at the scene by notable reporters and first responders. President Bush and his vast group of admirers love to claim that Bush kept us safe since 9/11. Bush neglects to explain that he kept us safe from himself.
The 9/11 Commission never mentioned one word about the collapse of Building 7 in its report. That omission is conclusive evidence that the 9/11 Commission covered-up the truth. To completely ignore the collapse of that 47 story building, never hit by any plane, speaks for itself. You need to really want to be misled to ignore that omission.
Controlled demolition needs thousands of charges synchronistically timed resulting in a free fall collapse. Typical features are direct evidence of explosives, dust clouds, cutter charges, and a total collapse of the steel structure ready for shipment.
Expert corroboration by control demolition experts stated that the columns of steel inside the buildings were removed by slashing the steel with thermate. Thermate is an incendiary pyrotechnic composition that can generate short bursts of exceedingly high temperatures focused on a small area for a short period of time.
WTC building 7 is a 47 story building 100 yards from the North Tower that had seven small fires. It was never hit by a plane. It collapsed after 5:00 PM on 9/11 about eight hours after the planes hit the WTC Towers.
Craig Bartner of the NYFD stated, “The whole time you’re hearing thoom, thoom, thoom, thoom, I think I know an explosion when I hear it. That didn’t sound like just a building fall down. I was real close to building 7 falling down. That’s one of the things I live with all the time and a lot of guys should be saying the same thing.”
After I heard numerous firefighters, reporters, and other people who were at the WTC complex within minutes of the two planes that crashed into the North and South Towers state that they heard explosions, I became suspicious. It never came to my mind that all of these people were hallucinating. To have hundreds of witnesses to any crime who were being ignored by law enforcement is extremely convincing that there is intimidation by very powerful officials who decided to gag the witnesses.
I have a personal experience of observing a conspiracy by senior government and media decision makers. I wrote and published this story titled Just Cause Just Facts in 2005. My experience in this case that began in 1987, gave me first hand exposure to the willingness of the government’s team to jump into protecting a huge Wall Street fraud even though they had no apparent benefit other than being on the team.
The most common defense used to discredit citizens who choose to learn the truth is to call them “conspiracy nuts”. I learned that the nuts are the citizens who believe the government’s version of 9/11. The credibility of the most senior government and media officials has been bullet proof even after they are caught in one lie after the next. This is a cultural trait that isn’t likely to change. If the evidence of the 9/11 case continues to be ignored the outlook for change is bleak.
President Obama has promised change and is determined to “look forward”. That is a sly way to obstruct justice. Justice is impossible when criminal investigations are prevented. When criminal laws are applied to regular citizens but are suspended for the most powerful, most senior officials who are considered royalty by President Obama, our revolution and Constitution just disappeared before our eyes.
Americans have destroyed their own country. The conflict of interest being ignored is an irrational medical disorder that can only be treated by citizens who will unite to form a third party determined to win an election. There are no signs for hope that the 9/11 incident will trigger a new beginning.

Our Plan For Suicidal Extinction
Imagine stopping our irrational march to suicidal extinction 50 years too early? Our risk would be having clean water, clean air, less cancer and completely free power from God. The Environmental Forum completely misled its audience by hiding the march toward suicidal extinction.
There were very distinguished speakers who addressed the forum on the impact of the world wide climate change, its impact on our lives, and the economic problems and opportunities that will affect Bridgeport and the State of Connecticut.
Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch stated, “There will be a 50 to 100 year window to remedy the climate change risk.” He also promoted the reading of Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How It Can Renew America by Thomas L. Friedman. Of the 200 reviews on Amazon there were 106 - 5 star, 34 - 4 star, 17 - 3 star, 20 - 2 star, and 23 – 1 star.
Here is an example of a 1 star comment, “Corporate innovation is one of the main ingredients of Friedman's "solutions," so he goes out of his way not to offend any corporate decision-makers, even though it is these folks who are real Earth-destroyers.”
Here is an example of a 5 star comment, “The world is increasingly crowded, he asserts, due to worsening overpopulation crisis. By 2053 global population expected to top 9 billion people from 6.7 billion today, and just 2.7 billion in 1953. If basic needs for food, shelter, education, employment are not met, increased violence and conflict, and even more cases of genocide could arise.”
I was trying to find comments that focused on the 50 to 100 year window Mayor Finch mentioned and I couldn’t find any.
There are two observations I know to be accurate. Americans are terrible at risk management. The mortgage meltdown proves my point. The second observation is I have searched for a scientific prediction as to how long we have to remedy the climate change suicidal issue without success.
My search to get a scientific prediction to learn how long there will be before it is too late to remedy the world’s march to suicidal extinction has gone unanswered. The Mayor Finch assertion that there is a “50 to 100 year window” has the validity that his promise to lower Bridgeport property taxes before he got elected Mayor.
What I have heard from scientists who testified to Congress is that the acceleration of environmental damage that they have studied during their careers is far worse than any prediction they ever made. It wouldn’t surprise me that it is too late for any remedy to work. That leads me to conclude that if it is too late for any remedy to prevent the extinction for God’s critters then there’s no purpose to waste any effort. Eat, drink, and be merry.
Suppose we take the threat of suicidal extinction seriously right now, today. We need to do the following:
1) Mandate a vasectomy for every male age 15 to 40.
2) Erect solar panels on every roof in the world.
3) Erect tidal power generators in the mouth of every river in the world.
4) Mandate only building hydrogen powered vehicles and hydrogen fuel stations.
5) Phase out all coal power generators worldwide by 2015 or America will use its multi-trillion dollar military to blow them to smithereens worldwide.
6) Erect electric wind generation to power the electrolysis for hydrogen production from water and also erect piping to transport the hydrogen to fueling stations throughout the world.
7) Outlaw long-line fishing worldwide to be enforced by the Navy immediately.
8) Weatherize all buildings throughout the world.
When the risk of calamity is suggested to be 50 to 100 years away, we will continue to fiddle and diddle. When people are starving 10 years from now, there won’t be a second chance to start building wind turbines and an electric grid.
Returning to the forum, HCC student, Josh Roe pointed out the mountaintop coal recovery method that has poisoned the water supply up and down the Appalachian mountain range. Josh claimed those rivers were covered up with dirt. A Google search of mountaintop coal recovery will reveal a much worse predicament than Josh explained. The mining companies reduced their workforce by 90% when it was replaced by using dynamite to blow off the mountaintops.
Jacqueline Rowland from the University of Hartford recommended “idealism” and taking showers with friends to conserve.
Andrea Salzburg spoke about grants to fund environmental projects and scholarships for student activism.
And Attorney General Richard Blumenthal opened the program by explaining his successful litigation that prevented a natural gas pipeline from being built in Long Island Sound.
The downside of the Environmental Forum is its assertion that we are in no immediate danger. Risk management for the potential suicidal extinction of our magnificent planet when measured in comparison with the hysterical daily fear of terrorism was like a 450 pound individual who only ate half a cheese cake instead of eating the entire cake.

Andrea Salzburg spoke about grants to fund environmental projects and scholarships for student activism.
