Got Laws of Physics?: 9/11 3D Analysis - 2016 Update - Richard D. Hall

At first, as I watched and listened to this video, my initial, physical reaction to the 3-D computer model- and electrical-engineer-supported information therein was that I felt like throwing up.

Don't get me wrong, I figured out in the months and years following the events that appeared to play out on 9/11/01 that the, then, developing "official" narrative was patently untrue.  (Give those crafty ol' boys an "A" for effort. In fact, brand it into each of their foreheads with white-hot irons.)

Full Disclosure: This video is painful to watch.  Why?  Because, it can be excruciating to come to the realization that a great many of those things that you've been led to believe - not only about the 9/11 attacks, but also, about America and what she stands for and what America's leaders* are truly capable of (*I'm not talking about then-President George W. Bush - he's a moron.  And, let's be completely honest, he wasn't in charge of anything during his tenure.  He was simply a face who kept a seat warm... and, whose father was a very powerful and wealthy man with very powerful and wealthy friends (Including - among many others - the House of Saud).

Richard Hall - the man who narrates this video - is no fringe conspiracy theorist.  He's a well-educated, scientific, detail-oriented man with a laser-like focus on uncovering the Truth of what really occurred on 9/11/01 in America.

So, yes, it may hurt to watch this video.  In fact, it may just open a sizable wound on one's psyche to discover that you and much of the world were sold a bloody bill of goods by a cabal of old, powerful, wealthy, influential, (mostly) white men whose primary objective is to not only maintain their current power, wealth and influence, but to increase and secure it.

Yes, a horrifying series of events occurred on 9/11/01.  And, yes, a particular group of men orchestrated and carried out a number of heinous crimes on 9/11/01.  BUT, they may not have been the events that you thought you saw (intentionally replayed over and over again, ad nauseum, for years) nor the alleged perpetrators (19 so-called 'hijackers' - 15 of which were Saudi, mind you - who were barely able to fly Cessna aircraft) that were blamed (Can you say "Scapegoats", boys and girls? Good!  How about "Patsies"?  I knew you could!).

Especially noteworthy items in this video:
*Woman in video clip exclaiming, "What the hell is THAT?!" as she and a man watched and videotaped object approaching second tower.  She undoubtedly knew what a plane looked like, so why not shout, "Look at that plane!" or some-such, instead?

*The "Road-Runner" Effect:
The unforgettable sight of the outline of "plane" - from wing-tip to wing-tip - on the exterior of the second tower where the object - allegedly a 767 commercial airliner (with wings constructed of struts and, mostly, air and covered with an aluminum skin a mere 1/10th of an inch thick) was seen to have simply "melted" into and "sliced through" multiple weight-bearing iron beams that were not only holding a 100+ floor skyscraper upright and together, but, were specifically-designed to withstand plane strikes.  (Not to mention the fact that, in a close-up video clip included in the 'official story' video-clip compilation, one can clearly see a secondary incendiary explosion - following the initial impact and smoke cloud - and watch as the 'fire' burns a plane wing-tip-shaped outline into the skin of the second tower... creating that silhouette we all remember vividly, but which is, actually, a physical impossibility:  As stated above, the wings of an actual 767 airliner are constructed of aluminum and the wing-tips are particularly fragile.  Therefore, there is, unequivocally, no way in Heaven or on Earth that aluminum airplane wings are ever going to strike a steel-framed structure and slice through it like a hot knife through butter... except, perhaps, within the utterly-unreal confines of a Looney-Tunes cartoon.  IF the object that hit the second tower had actually been a commercial 767 airliner, then the wings -in particular - would have been sheared off or simply destroyed on impact.  Hard landings have been known to cause wings or tail-sections to separate from the fuselage of these aircraft.  #TruthBomb.

*The fact that, in the official version of events, it's claimed that the alleged 'airliner' that struck the second tower was traveling at over 500 mph when it hit the building.  That's an airspeed that's physically-impossible for a 767 at/near sea level.  (But, it's totally possible for a Raytheon Block IV Missile...)

(...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead​)** Please See Bottom of Page About This.

*The fact that - on a clear, sunny morning, one in which even the WTC towers, themselves, glistened - the alleged polished, aluminium 'airliner' looks like a flat, black, smoky smudge in the sky in virtually all of the 50 or so videos collected.

And, much, much more.

Please watch this video, closely, with an open-mind, healthy skepticism and your critical-thinking caps on.

And, then, most importantly: Decide For Yourselves What Really Happened (or Didn't Really Happen) on September 11, 2001.  And, then, Please Share This Video With Your Friends and Family and Everyone.  Thank you.
"I'd rather be struck with the TRUTH than be caressed with LIES."

** I have no idea where this sentence came from.  I swear.  It just appeared as I was writing this post.  That said, I find it perfectly appropriate and fitting, so I'm leaving it where it appeared. - L.

CIA Enhanced Interrogation Report
(Summary: Duh, They Lied.)

(Please click on the above link to open a new window and watch a bitingly funny clip from The Colbert Report)

The top news stories/ national news headlines cry out as if in agony:

"CIA misled Congress on enhanced interrogation (i.e. torture)".

Well... Duh!!!

I called the CIA's claims B.S. back then and - surprise! surprise! - they were utter and total B.S.!

How is it that I - with my total number of D.C. insider friends at "0" - am able to see right through all the official disinformation, misrepresentation and blatant lies... and, yet, hundreds (nay, thousands) of people who do have numerous D.C. insider friends Can't??

The only question everyone should be demanding an immediate answer to is this:

"When are we extraordinary rendition-ing George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes and/or crimes against humanity?".

If we don't make them face Justice, we - as a nation - won't have a leg of 'moral high ground to stand on... Ever!

An Indictment For Cheney: Yes, Virginia There Really Is A Santa Claus!

Like the M&M said, "He DOES Really Exist!"

Hanukkah, Christmas And Kwanza came Early for me this year (yesterday, actually) when I heard that Bloomberg Business Week is reporting that former U.S. Vice President and soulless bipedal life-form, Dick Cheney, is to be INDICTED (along with 5 other officials) in Nigerian Court For Bribing Nigerian Officials over the course of a decade (5 years during which he was CEO of Halliburton) in order to secure a $6 Billion natural gas contract in that country.

Also noteworthy: KBR/Halliburton pled guilty last year in US court regarding the case and paid a $579 Million settlement.

In a related story, I was thoroughly disgusted to also learn that the not only has the Obama Administration ALREADY blocked the investigation and prosecution of war crimes involving six former members of the Bush Administration being carried out by Spain... But, they also are actively trying to strong-arm other countries, diplomatically, to do the same inexcusable, unjust and hypocritical thing.

They already put the Kabosh on Spain's investigation into 6 former Bush officials regarding the use of torture, by pressuring them with diplomatic threats.

Uh, HELLO? President Obama?
Re: What your officials did to Spain and will, likely try to do to Nigeria is Criminal, in and of itself.

It's called AIDING AND ABETTING Or, perhaps, acting as an ACCOMPLICE AFTER-THE-FACT or Whatever.

It is Wrong and it is Utterly Reprehensible!

How on Earth can you, your administration or even our country as a whole maintain any shred of moral high ground in the world when we will lip synch support of the international bill of human rights and the Geneva Conventions and declare that we are unfailingly against the use of torture and even Prosecute people in our own country who are guilty of torturing other people or torturing animals... that we are pursuing a "War On Terror/Terrorists" And we want/expect cooperation from other countries...

But... if it's a case where our own government officials or former government officials are being sought out for war crimes/torture/crimes against humanity cases...

WHAT?... Suddenly... Wait... Hold on... These guys get a Free Pass?!

President Obama: Sir, if there is No Justice to be found at the Top Levels Of Our Federal Government, Then there is No Justice Anywhere.

*Not only that, but, it rather begs a question:
What gives US courts the right to prosecute some blue-collar guy down the street for torture of a person and/or persons...
When those very same courts won't fulfill/are ordered not to fulfill that particularly important item in the U.S. Constitution which requires that our courts mete out "equal treatment under the law"?...
When they are forbidden from prosecuting another guy down, perhaps, the very same street for torture of a person or persons... solely because he works for or used to work for the federal government?

Personally, I find the slimy business of aiding and abetting Americans guilty of war crimes and using Diplomatic Extortion and Threats to help them evade facing up to what they have done, publicly, much more damaging to the reputation of the Office of the President of the United States; to the White House; to the Obama Administration and to America's honor, too.

It would, undoubtedly, improve America's reputation and solidify her moral high ground in the world IF we actually Honored our signed treaties with other countries and our solemn pledge to readily assist other countries in bringing international criminals - particularly war criminals - to Justice.

Hell... the GOP wants INTERPOL to help them nab Julian Assange (of Wikileaks).

Undoubtedly, so that they can lynch him in a public square (with Fox TV getting exclusive broadcasting rights).

And, he hasn't even tortured anyone!

Mr. Assange's only crime has been to expose government officials - some of whom were actively involved in permitting/promoting torture - as well as exposing those individuals and countries who are either:
A.) actively pursuing them as criminals to bring to Justice
Or...
B.)actively assisting them - through the use of diplomatic threats and extortion - to evade that same Justice.
(Guess which one currently describes the U.S.A.?)

In other words, Mr. Assange has done the dastardly deed of exposing America's hypocrites for all the world to see. They've been caught with their fancy pants down... Quelle Horreur!

Re: Mr. Cheney's Indictment in Nigeria:
The U.S. has had an Extradition Treaty with Nigeria since 1931.
Upon being indicted, a valid arrest warrant will be issued for Mr. Cheney.
And, according to the U.S. Attorney's own Manual, this particular type of confirmed "Red-Notice" is to be Enforced. Period.
This bears repeating:
*According to the Justice Department's Own Manual:
The United States Of America is then, by law, required to help locate Mr. Cheney.
(That's an easy one: Just look up his Secret Service detail, he'll be with them.)

To refuse to do so... to refuse to honor international agreements to pursue valid court-issued arrest warrants... to refuse to assist INTERPOL... by refusing to see to it  that Mr. Cheney be escorted to the airport and then flown to have his day in court in Nigeria where he could then defend himself (haha) against those bribery indictments for which his own former company pled "Guilty"...
Will do nothing more than solidify the perception of the White House and the U.S. as being what they, honestly - in the eyes of the law - are:  Complicit, Voluntary Accessories After-The-Fact...
Simply put: Criminals.

Hell, Cheney should consider himself damn lucky that Nigeria only wants him for bribery.
And, as a show of appreciation, he should turn himself in to INTERPOL, willingly.

(Sigh.)

Well, this'll put a big smile on your face...
Here's One of the Greatest Moments In News Of All Time (From MSNBC's Countdown): Enjoy! I damn sure did.
(Aw hell, I can Dream, can't I?)

Dick "F-U" Cheney Comes Out For Same-Sex Marriage.

Whoa...

I just heard some news that has me quite stunned...

News that has me uncharacteristically intrigued...

And wanting to know...

Is it possible that I dozed off in my usual 'Reality'... And woke up in another Parallel Universe? A 'Reality' that is almost exactly like the 'usual' one... Almost... Except for one - maybe two - minor differences?

In my 'usual' Reality, I might not have thought it was even a possibility that former Vice President Dick "Old Scratch" Cheney could have undergone such a stunning Transformation... One which - if it happened in a movie - would likely be referred to as being 'Body Snatched'? (From the Horror Film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers.)

Not that I would be complaining if he was...

I just heard the news... And saw the video clip that confirms it.

Our Gee-Dubya-B Deputy, The Self-Proclaimed Water-Boarding Wunderkind... Darth Cheney...

Has 'come out' - on-the-record - To say that he personally feels that:

"... people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish."

The Very Same Dick who - as Vice President - Creatively Granted Himself Any and Every Imaginable and Unimaginable Freedom...

(These Included All "Known Freedoms" - Those Freedoms Which We All Know About... As well as An Unknown Number of "Unknown Freedoms"... The Latter Are In Reference To Previously Unidentified and Unspecified Freedoms That We Weren't Aware Of... And, That We Didn't Know We Weren't aware Of. :P *From Cheney's "Unknown Unknowns" Speech. )

To Do Whatever He Wanted...

Or - Depending Upon What Was Being Asked Of Him...

To Refuse To Do Anything He Didn't Want To Do.

The Dick Cheney Who May Be Seen In This Video Saying, "... I think that freedom means freedom for everyone...",,,

Is The Very Same Dick Who - Simultaneously - Didn't See Fit To Expand On His Own Passionate Personal Fight For Freedoms...

At Least, Not Enough To Protect and Defend Several Of America's Founding Freedoms When They Were Initially Threatened And Later - Crippled - For Countless Other Americans.

Ahh, The Bad Old Days...

But, I digress.

This is a Good Thing.

Dick is now... at this moment... at least on this one enormously important Civil Rights issue...

Progressively LEFT of President Obama!

Cheney supports Same-Sex Marriage?

What's Next?

'Down' Will Mean 'Up'?

The North and South Poles Will Suddenly Switch Places?

Jesus will return (again?)... Arriving in a flying saucer... And He will tell all of His Followers to "... Stop Doing Stupid Things In My Name. And, Get a Life, Already!"?

Cool!

Peace. L.

Cheney Offers Support For Gay Marriage (With VIDEO)

(From: www.huffingtonpost.com
Sam Stein

Dick Cheney rarely takes a position that places him at a more progressive tilt than President Obama. But on Monday, the former vice president did just that, saying that he supports gay marriage as long as it is deemed legal by state and not federal government.

Speaking at the National Press Club for the Gerald R. Ford Foundation journalism awards, Cheney was asked about recent rulings and legislative action in Iowa and elsewhere that allowed for gay couples to legally wed.

"I think that freedom means freedom for everyone," replied the former V.P. "As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don't support. I do believe that the historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis. ... But I don't have any problem with that. People ought to get a shot at that."



Cheney has made similar arguments in support of gay marriage in the past, including during the run-up to the 2004 election. But his current comments come at a moment when the Republican Party and conservative movement is increasingly split on the issue. Bush recount lawyer Ted Olsen and John McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt have both argued in favor of gay marriage. The religious right, as expected, remains opposed.

Caught up in the debate is the Obama administration. The president has said he supports civil unions for gay couples but that he remains committed to marriage being between and man and woman. His press department has been completely quiet about the recent California Supreme Court case upholding a ban on gay marriage in the state -- something that, it seems, Cheney would object to in spirit if not law.

Forget Waldo... Where in the World Has Dick Cheney Been?

I’ll admit it...
I’ve never been good at the whole linear, one-way, march of death, time thing...

Sometimes it goes forward...
...And sometimes it starts off going forward... but then, before you know it, it’s leaped backwards and you get to work 15 minutes early...
...Even though you were running at least 25 minutes late (Who says prayer doesn’t work?).

I don’t know about your experience of personal reality...
But, to me... in mine, it seems like everything’s been quiet for months... A good 6-10 months...
(if you don’t count the back-and-forth political camPai(g)n poking or the (as GWB put it:) "challenging" (snicker) economic tumult.)

Now...
...Suddenly...
...Out of No Where...
...They begin to arrive...
...Multiple reports of a Sighting... of... HIM!

You listen - somewhat in shock - to the horrible chorus repeated by all the news anchors...
Their words pepper you...their meaning stings...

...It’s like... Well... a shotgun blast to the face...

Heeeeeeee’s Baaaaack!

In spite of the fact that he’s (allegedly) thousands of miles away... the mere mention of his human name makes your stomach queasy... Your heart starts pounding in your chest and thumping in your ears...

... "No!", you silently scream, in anguish. It can’t be! Not... Him!

It had been so long... No one had seen him... Not one news show or front page headline had mentioned his name...for so long that...

... You thought... Well... Hoped against Hope... No... Wished, yeah, Wished (that’s it!) that he was ... well... Gone!

Didn’t We All? (OK, except maybe for the wife...)

Who am I talking about?

Well, the One and Only Terrible Troll himself... The Ho of Halliburton...

Mr. Dick (and I do mean "Dick") Cheney, of course!

Is it me? Or has this carbon-based carbuncle been M.I.A for the last six to ten months?

In my little Reality, Dick had pretty much stopped existing (... OK, stop snickering, you know what I meant.)

It’s kinda been like it was right after the Sept.11th attacks... You know... The media was reporting every detail of GWB’s whereabouts at all times... But you couldn’t get a bead on Cheney to save your life.

Maybe he’s been holed up in another bunker?

Hey, Dick... Did the ol’ Ticker stop ticking?

You know what... Maybe Dick did die... and Halliburton (or a subsidiary) has spent the better part of the last year cloning him...

Until the other day when...

..."Abracadabra!"... or "Rumplestiltskin!"... or even... "He’s Alive!"...

...And now...

In a sorrowful surprise to us all...

Dick has risen up from the grave and found himself in...

...Iraq... (Hmm... maybe he never left?)...

... He’s slapping backs and saying things to the effect of: "Look at all this Progress we’ve made!" and "Everything’s coming up bases... Uh, I mean roses!"

***A Personal Aside Here: L’Chaim!... Now, What about the Hurricane-and-Flood decimated Gulf Coast, Mr. Vice President... Why don’t you make some Formaldehyde-free Progress THERE?***
(Thanks, I just couldn’t help myself.)

"Success", you say? "It was worth it.", you say?

Of course you would sneer that...

"The goal for the invasion was permanent occupation of Iraq as America’s "police station" in the middle east. By that standard the 14 permanent bases are doing just fine, thanks. (Reference: Project for the New American Century)" (Fromsalon.com)

Hey, Dick! Why don’t you crawl/slither/drip back into that hole you’ve been hiding/being reconstituted in... and don’t come back until... well, at least Halloween or January 2nd.

Peace.
