Nico's been working for the enemy for years, and now Judy Cuntingham is working hard to discredit the scholors for 9-11 truth.
I happy to say I booted both of them.
Get used to the fact that there are more people in the "truth movement" trying to bury the truth than expose it. It's always been that way, and most of the people on this list should by now be able to identify and marginalize the non-sense quickly.

You know, I've always asserted that it was counterproductive to label each
other as Cointelpro types and I've always thought that Nico was just an
energetic overzealous, somewhat batty investigator.

However he has always been the first one to accuse others of being a plant.
I remember thinking many years ago that his holding up that banner when the
victims' families were just getting their first viewing of the rubble was
going to make us look insensitive and stupid. HMMM.

Also, I remember being at the Rethug National Crookvention in NYC working
for the National Lawyers Guild and anyone that pulled a stunt like that
being beaten and thrown in a cage by that Napolean complex police chief.

Why was Nico able to stand there for so many days without anything more than
a few people yelling at him????????? HMMMM?

I am pretty sure Nico is someone we ALL need to distance ourselves from.

I once felt the need to send letters to some local justices of the peace
disassociating myself with a certain private investigator who was using my
name as an entree.

Years later when he was indicted for fraud, I felt vindicated and I breathed
a sigh of relief that I had also contacted the state police and made a
record of his false assertions of working for my office. (He had once served
some subpoenas for me...badly and I fired him.)

After his indictment he alleged to the police that he could "take me down"
for them. They immediately came to me to warn me. Now he's lost his
license and has been completely discredited.

I think it is a good idea for each affected group to make a public record of
their disengagement and disenfranchisement with Nico and TVfakery or
whatever his latest insane rant is. It will be something we will not
regret.

Judy also distributed her "science" 9-1 truth flyer to about 50 groups. It's jam-packed with enough garbage to make anyone handing it out look like an idiot. The scholors for 9-11 truth need to clean house. Bye-bye "Dr. Judy." Scholor, my ass.

The Next Phase of the Middle East War

By Michel Chossudovsky
09/05/06 "GlobalResearch" -- -- Israel's war on Lebanon is an integral part of a US sponsored "military roadmap".
The war on Lebanon, which has resulted in countless atrocities including the destruction of the nation's economy and civilian infrastructure, is "a stage" in a sequence of carefully planned military operations.
Lebanon constitutes a strategic corridor between Israel and North-western Syria. The underlying objective of this war was the militarization of Lebanon, including the stationing of foreign troops, as a precondition for carrying out the next phase of a broader military agenda.
Formally under a UN mandate, the foreign troops to be stationed on Lebanese soil on the immediate border with Syria, will be largely although not exclusively from NATO countries. This military force mandated by the UN Security Council is by no means neutral. It responds directly to US and Israeli interests.
Moreover, the timely withdrawal of Syrian troops, following the February 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has contributed to opening up a "new space". The withdrawal of Syrian troops served Israeli interests. The timely pullout was of strategic significance: it was a major factor in the timing and planning of the July 2006 IDF attacks on Lebanon.
In the aftermath of the Israeli bombings and the "ceasefire", UN Security Council Resolution 1701, drafted by France and the US in close consultation with the Israeli government, has paved the way for the militarization of Lebanon, under a bogus UN mandate.
The Next Phase of the Middle East War
Confirmed by official statements and military documents, the US in close coordination with Britain (and in consultation with its NATO partners), is planning to launch a war directed against Iran and Syria. US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton has already initiated the draft of a UN Security Council resolution with a view to imposing sanctions on Tehran for its alleged (nonexistent) nuclear weapons program. Whether this resolution is adopted is not the main issue. The US may decide to proceed in defiance of the Security Council, following a veto by Russia and/or China. The vote of France and Britain, among the permanent members has already been secured.
US military sources have confirmed that an aerial attack, pursuant to a sanctions regime on Iran, with or without UN approval, would involve a large scale deployment comparable to the US "shock and awe" bombing raids on Iraq in March 2003:
American air strikes on Iran would vastly exceed the scope of the 1981 Israeli attack on the Osiraq nuclear center in Iraq, and would more resemble the opening days of the 2003 air campaign against Iraq. Using the full force of operational B-2 stealth bombers, staging from Diego Garcia or flying direct from the United States, possibly supplemented by F-117 stealth fighters staging from al Udeid in Qatar or some other location in theater, the two-dozen suspect nuclear sites would be targeted.
Military planners could tailor their target list to reflect the preferences of the Administration by having limited air strikes that would target only the most crucial facilities ... or the United States could opt for a far more comprehensive set of strikes against a comprehensive range of WMD related targets, as well as conventional and unconventional forces that might be used to counterattack against US forces in Iraq

(See Globalsecurity.org at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iran-strikes.htm
The aerial bombing plans have been fully operational ("in an advanced state of readiness") since June 2005. The various components of the military operation are firmly under US Command, coordinated by the Pentagon and US Strategic Command Headquarters (USSTRATCOM) at the Offutt Air Force base in Nebraska.
In November 2004, US Strategic Command conducted a major exercise of a "global strike plan" entitled "Global Lightening". The latter involved a simulated attack using both conventional and nuclear weapons against a "fictitious enemy" [Iran]. Following the "Global Lightening" exercise, US Strategic Command declared "an advanced state of readiness".
The operational implementation of the Global Strike is called CONCEPT PLAN (CONPLAN) 8022. The latter is described as "an actual plan that the Navy and the Air Force translate into strike package for their submarines and bombers,'
The command structure of the operation is centralized and ultimately The Pentagon will decide on the sequence; " if and when" to launch military operations against Iran and Syria. Israeli military actions and those of other coalition partners including Turkey, would be carried out in close coordination with the Pentagon.
Ground War
While the threat of punitive aerial bombardments of Iran's nuclear facilities have been announced repeatedly by the Bush administration, recent developments suggest that an all out ground war is also under preparation.
CONPLAN constitutes only one component of the Middle East military agenda. CONPLAN 8022 does not contemplate a ground war. It posits "no boots on the ground", which was the initial assumption envisaged in relation to the proposed aerial attacks on Iran.
US and Israeli military planners are fully aware that the aerial "punitive bombings" will almost inevitably lead coalition forces into a ground war scenario in which they will have to confront Iranian and Syrian forces in the battlefield.
Tehran has confirmed that it will retaliate if attacked, in the form of ballistic missile strikes directed against Israel as well as against US military facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf, which would immediately lead us into a scenario of military escalation and all out war.
Iranian troops could cross the Iran-Iraq border and confront coalition forces inside Iraq. Israeli troops and/or Special Forces could enter into Syria.
The foreign troops stationed in Lebanon under UN mandate would respond to the diktats of the US led coalition and the prior commitments reached with Washington and Tel Aviv in the context of the various military alliances (NATO-Israel, Turkey-Israel, GUUAM, etc).
War Games
These military preparations have also been marked, quite recently, by the conduct of war games.
In late August, Iran was involved in the conduct of war games in major regions of the country, including border areas with Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Iran's Defense Minister General Mostafa Mohammad Najjar has confirmed the deployment of enhanced military capabilities including weapons systems and troops on the Iranian border: "[Iranian] forces are supervising all movements by trans-regional troops and their agents around the Iranian borders" (FARS news, 2 September 2006)
Iran War Games August 2006.

Barely acknowledged by the Western media, military exercises organized by Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan under the Collective Security Treaty Organization, (CSTO) were also launched in late August. These war games, officially tagged as part of a counter terrorism program, were conducted in response to US-Israeli military threats in the region including the planned attacks against Iran. (See Michel Chossudovsky, August 2006). In turn, China an Kazakhstan held concurrent war games under the auspices of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Azerbaijan and neighboring Georgia have close military ties to Washington. Both countries are part of GUUAM, a military alliance with the US and NATO.

Turkey is a close ally of Israel. Since 2005, Israel has deployed Special Forces in the mountainous areas of Turkey bordering Iran and Syria with the collaboration of the Ankara government: Pakistan is also a close ally of the US and Britain. Georgia also has a military cooperation agreement with Israel.

Meanwhile, the USS Enterprise, America's largest aircraft carrier is en route to the Persian Gulf.
US Troop Build-up
US troops in Iraq have been increased to 140,000 as confirmed by recent Pentagon statements (Reuters, 2 September 2006) These plans have been coupled with a the compulsory recall of "inactive servicemen" as well as the expansion of mercenary forces. (Mahdi Darius Namzaroaya, August 2006)
The Pentagon justifies the troop build-up as part of a "routine" process of replacement and rotation, required in its ongoing war against "terrorists" in Iraq. The speeding up of military recruitment is also occurring in the core countries of the Anglo-American coalition including Great Britain. Australia and Canada (see also Recruiting Canada). Canada and Australia are aligned with the US. Australian Prime Minister John Howard as well as Canada's Steven Harper have confirmed their commitment to the US-Israeli war and have promised an expansion of the armed forces in their respective countries.
Meanwhile British troops stationed in Iraq have been redeployed to the Iranian border in southern Iraq. This redeployment has been casually presented by Britain's Ambassador to Iraq as part of a "crack down on smuggling and the entrance of weapons into Iraq from Iran".
While British officials are maintaining no desire or preparations for a conflict with Iran, more British troops are being mobilized and deployed to Iraq at the same time. The Light Infantry of the 2nd Battalion, another unit with rapid deployment capabilities, is deploying to the southern Iraqi border with Iran. The 2nd Battalion is being sent to Iraq under the pretext of working in the Rear Operations Battle Group which will provide escorts for military convoys and security for British forces and bases in Basra. (See Mahdi Darius Namzaroaya, August 2006)
The Role of Israel
In the wake of the war on Lebanon. Israel's military plans and pronouncements are increasingly explicit. Tel Aviv has announced plans to wage a pre-emptive "full-scale war" against Iran and Syria, implying the deployment of both air and ground force. These war plans are now said to at the top of the defense agenda:
"Israel is preparing for a possible war with both Iran and Syria, according to Israeli political and military sources."
(...)
�The challenge from Iran and Syria is now top of the Israeli defense agenda, higher than the Palestinian one,� said an Israeli defense source. Shortly before the war in Lebanon Major-General Eliezer Shkedi, the commander of the air force, was placed in charge of the �Iranian front�, a new position in the Israeli Defense Forces. His job will be to command any future strikes on Iran and Syria."
(...)
In the past we prepared for a possible military strike against Iran�s nuclear facilities,� said one insider, �but Iran�s growing confidence after the war in Lebanon means we have to prepare for a full-scale war, in which Syria will be an important player.�
(...)
As a result of the change in the defense priorities, the budget for the Israeli forces in the West Bank and Gaza is to be reduced." (Sunday Times, 3 September 2006)
Media Disinformation
The Western media is beating the drums of war.
The Sunday Times views Israel's war plans as legitimate acts of self defense, to prevent Tehran from launching an all out nuclear attack on Israel: "Iran and Syria have ballistic missiles that can cover most of Israel, including Tel Aviv. An emergency budget has now been assigned to building modern shelters."
The fact that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons capabilities as confirmed by the IAEA report does not seem to be an issue for debate.
Media disinformation has contributed to creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. The announcement on August 10 by the British Home Office of a foiled large scale terror attack to simultaneously blow up as many as ten airplanes, conveys the impression that it is the Western World rather than the Middle East which is under attack.

Realities are twisted upside down. The disinformation campaign has gone into full gear. The British and US media are increasingly pointing towards "preemptive war" as an act of "self defense" against Al Qaeda and the State sponsors of terrorism, who are allegedly preparing a Second 911.
The underlying objective, through fear and intimidation, is ultimately to build public acceptance for the next stage of the Middle East "war on terrorism" which is directed against Syria and Iran.
The antiwar movement has also been weakened.
While China and Russia will oppose the US led war at the diplomatic level as well as at the UN Security Council, Washington has secured the support of France and Germany. While Russia and China have military cooperation agreements with Iran, they would most probably not would intervene militarily in favor of Iran.
NATO is broadly supportive of the US led military agenda. In February 2005, NATO signed a military cooperation agreement with Israel.
Nuclear Weapons against Iran
The use of tactical nuclear weapons by the US and Israel against Iran, is contemplated, ironically in retaliation for Iran's nonexistent nuclear weapons program.
The Bush administration's new nuclear doctrine contains specific "guidelines" which allow for "preemptive" nuclear strikes against "rogue enemies" which "possess" or are "developing" weapons of mass destruction (WMD). (2001 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) and Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations (DJNO)).
CONPLAN 8022, referred to above, is 'the overall umbrella plan for sort of the pre-planned strategic scenarios involving nuclear weapons.'
'It's specifically focused on these new types of threats -- Iran, North Korea -- proliferation and potentially terrorists too,' he said. 'There's nothing that says that they can't use CONPLAN 8022 in limited scenarios against Russian and Chinese targets.'(According to Hans Kristensen, of the Nuclear Information Project, quoted in Japanese economic News Wire, op cit)
The mission of JFCCSGS is to implement CONPLAN 8022, in other words to trigger a nuclear war with Iran.
The Commander in Chief, namely George W. Bush would instruct the Secretary of Defense, who would then instruct the Joint Chiefs of staff to activate CONPLAN 8022.
The use of nuclear weapons against Iran would be coordinated with Israel, which possesses a sophisticated nuclear arsenal.
The use of nuclear weapons by Israel or the US cannot be excluded, particularly in view of the fact that tactical nuclear weapons have now been reclassified as a variant of the conventional bunker buster bombs and are authorized for use in conventional war theaters. ("they are harmless to civilians because the explosion is underground").
In this regard, Israel and the US rather than Iran constitute a nuclear threat.
The World is at a Critical Crossroads

The Bush Administration has embarked upon a military adventure which threatens the future of humanity. This is not an overstatement. If aerial bombardments were to be launched against Iran, they would trigger a ground war and the escalation of the conflict to a much broader region. Even in the case of aerial and missile using conventional warheads, the bombings would unleash a nuclear nightmare resulting from the spread of nuclear radiation following the destruction of Iran's nuclear energy facilities.
Throughout history, the structure of military alliances has played a crucial role in triggering major military conflicts. In contrast to the situation prevailing prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, America's ongoing military adventure is now firmly supported by the Franco-German alliance. Moreover, Israel is slated to play a direct role in this military operation.
NATO is firmly aligned with the Anglo-American-Israeli military axis, which also includes Australia and Canada. In 2005, NATO signed a military cooperation agreement with Israel, and Israel has a longstanding bilateral military agreement with Turkey.
Iran has observer status in The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and is slated to become a full member of SCO. China and Russia have far-reaching military cooperation agreements with
China and Russia are firmly opposed to a US-led military operation in the diplomatic arena. While the US sponsored military plan threatens Russian and Chinese interests in Central Asia and the Caspian sea basin, it is unlikely that they would intervene militarily on the side of Iran or Syria.
The planned attack on Iran must be understood in relation to the existing active war theaters in the Middle East, namely Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon-Palestine.
The conflict could easily spread from the Middle East to the Caspian sea basin. It could also involve the participation of Azerbaijan and Georgia, where US troops are stationed.
Military action against Iran and Syria would directly involve Israel's participation, which in turn would trigger a broader war throughout the Middle East, not to mention the further implosion in the Palestinian occupied territories. Turkey is closely associated with the proposed aerial attacks.
If the US-UK-Israeli war plans were to proceed, the broader Middle East- Central Asian region would flare up, from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Afghan-Chinese border. At present, there are three distinct war theaters: Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine-Lebanon. An attack directed against Iran would serve to integrate these war theaters transforming the broader Middle East Central Asian region into an integrated war zone. (see map above)
In turn the US sponsored aerial bombardments directed against Iran could contribute to triggering a ground war characterized by Iranian attacks directed against coalition troops in Iraq. In turn, Israeli forces would enter into Syria.
An attack on Iran would have a direct impact on the resistance movement inside Iraq. It would also put pressure on America's overstretched military capabilities and resources in both the Iraqi and Afghan war theaters.
In other words, the shaky geopolitics of the Central Asia- Middle East region, the three existing war theaters in which America is currently, involved, the direct participation of Israel and Turkey, the structure of US sponsored military alliances, etc. raises the specter of a broader conflict.
The war against Iran is part of a longer term US military agenda which seeks to militarize the entire Caspian sea basin, eventually leading to the destabilization and conquest of the Russian Federation.
The Pentagon's Second 911
The economic and political dislocations resulting from this military agenda are far-reaching.
If the attacks directed against Iran and Syria were to proceed, martial law and/or a state of emergency could be declared in the US and possibly Britain on the pretext that the homeland is under attack by Iran sponsored terrorists. The purpose of these measures would essentially be to curb the antiwar movement and provide legitimacy to an illegal war.
The Pentagon has intimated in this regard, in an official statement, that "another [9/11] attack could create both a justification and an opportunity to retaliate against some known targets [Iran and Syria]". In a timely statement, barely a few days following the onslaught of the bombing of Lebanon, Vice President Cheney reiterated his warning: "The enemy that struck on 9/11 is fractured and weakened, yet still lethal, still determined to hit us again" (Waterloo Courier, Iowa, 19 July 2006, italics added).
Reversing the Tide of War
The issues raised in this article do not necessarily imply that the war will take place. What the analysis of official statments and military documents onfirms is that:

a) the war is part of a political agenda;

b) military plans to launch an attack on Iran and Syria are "in an advanced stage of readiness".

The issue is not whether the war will inevitably take place but what are the instruments at our disposal which will enable us to shunt and ultimately disarm this global military agenda.

War criminals occupy positions of authority. The citizenry is galvanized into supporting the rulers, who are "committed to their safety and well-being". Through media disinformation, war is given a humanitarian mandate.
The legitimacy of the war must be addressed. Antiwar sentiment alone does not disarm a military agenda. High ranking officials of the Bush administration, members of the military and the US Congress have been granted the authority to uphold an illegal war.

The corporate backers and sponsors of war and war crimes must also be targeted including the oil companies, the defense contractors, the financial institutions and the corporate media, which has become an integral part of the war propaganda machine.
There is a sense of urgency. In the weeks and months ahead, the antiwar movement must act, consistently, and address a number of key issues:
1. The role of media disinformation in sustaining the military agenda is crucial.

We will not succeed in our endeavours unless the propaganda apparatus is weakened and eventually dismantled. It is essential to inform our fellow citizens on the causes and consequences of the US-led war, not to mention the extensive war crimes and atrocities which are routinely obfuscated by the media. This is no easy task. It requires an effective counter-propaganda program which refutes mainstream media assertions.

It is essential that the relevant information and analysis reaches the broader public. The Western media is controlled by a handful of powerful business syndicates. The media conglomerates which control network TV and the printed press must be challenged through cohesive actions which reveal the lies and falsehoods.

2. There is opposition within the political establishment in the US as well as within the ranks of the Armed Forces.

While this opposition does not necessarily question to overall direction of US foreign policy, it is firmly opposed to military adventurism, including the use of nuclear weapons. These voices within the institutions of the State, the Military and the business establishment are important because they can be usefully channeled to discredit and ultimately dismantle the "war on terrorism" consensus. The broadest possible alliance of political and social forces is, therefore, required to prevent a military adventure which in a very real sense threatens the future of humanity.
3. The structure of military alliances must be addressed. A timely shift in military alliances could potentially reverse the course of history.

Whereas France and Germany are broadly supportive of the US led war, there are strong voices in both countries as well as within the European Union, which firmly oppose the US led military agenda, both at the grassroots level as well within the political system itself.

It is essential that the commitments made by European heads of government and heads of State to Washington be cancelled or nullified, through pressure exerted at the appropriate political levels. This applies, in particular, to the unbending support of the Bush adminstration, expressed by President Jacques Chirac and Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The weakening of the system of alliances which commits Western Europe to supporting the Anglo-American military axis, could indeed contribute to reversing the tide. Washington would hesitate to wage a war on Iran without the support of France and Germany.
4. The holding of large antiwar rallies is important and essential. But in will not in itself reverse the tide of war unless it is accompanied by the development of a cohesive antiwar network.

What is required is a grass roots antiwar network, a mass movement at national and international levels, which challenges the legitimacy of the main military and political actors, as well as their corporate sponsors, and which would ultimately be instrumental in unseating those who rule in our name. The construction of this type of network will take time to develop. Initially, it should focus on developing an antiwar stance within existing citizens' organizations (e.g. trade unions, community organizations, professional regroupings, student federations, municipal councils, etc.).
5. 9/11 plays a crucial and central role in the propaganda campaign.

The threat of an Al Qaeda "Attack on America" is being used profusely by the Bush administration and its indefectible British ally to galvanize public opinion in support of a global military agenda. Revealing the lies behind 911 would serve to undermine the legitimacy of the "war on terrorism". Without 911, the war criminals in high office do not have a leg to stand on. The entire national security construct collapses like a deck of cards. Known and documented, the "Islamic terror network" is a creation of the US intelligence apparatus. Several of the terror alerts were based on fake intelligence as revealed in the recent foiled "liquid bomb attack". There is evidence that the several of the terrorist "mass casualty events" which have resulted in civilian casualties were triggered by the military and/or intelligence services. (e.g Bali 2002).

The "war on terrorism" is bogus. The 911 narrative as conveyed by the 911 Commission report is fabricated. The Bush administration is involved in acts of cover-up and complicity at the highest levels of government.

How did WTC 7 collapse if it wasn't a controlled demolition?

Posted by: "James Patton" mailto:james_patton@yahoo.com?Subject=Re: james_patton

Thu Sep 7, 2006 9:58 am (PST)

Incredible. World Trade Centre building #7 was a 47 storey steel
and concrete construction skyscraper. It was not hit by a plane.
From my research it seems the fires it sustained were not intense.
Also it seems to me that it was not hit by massive amounts of debris
from the nearby collapsing twin towers, and the probability that jet
fuel got into it seems very low.

And yet on the afternoon of September 11 2001 this building collapsed,
vertically, neatly into it's own footprint in under 7 seconds.

In 100 years of steel frame building construction no building either before
or after September 11 2001 has ever collapsed solely due to fire, although
some have burned much hotter and for far longer.

It seems to me that steel frame buildings are engineered to stand, not to
collapse neatly into their own footprint at the speed of gravity when a
few fires break out.

It also seems to me that the collapse of WTC #7, if it fell solely due to fires
as NIST insists it did, contravenes two basic laws of physics - the Law
of Conservation of Momentum, and the Law of Conservation of Energy.
http://www.physics911.net/closerlook.htm

However, there is a rational, scientific explanation that would account for
the observed collapse of WTC building #7 - that is controlled demolition,
where explosives are precisely placed to cause a sequenced failure of the
load-bearing steel support beams, causing the building to collapse vertically
at almost freefall speed leaving behind a tidy pile of rubble.
http://www.wtc7.net/verticalcollapse.html
http://www.wtc7.net/videos.html
http://www.wtc7.net/demolition.html
http://www.wtc7.net/rubblepile.html

And to me and many others, this is exactly how the collapse
of WTC building 7 appears.
http://www.st911.org/

And yet I post this rational question to Yahoo! Answers, and I'm amazed by
the rubbish responses I get.

I'm "paranoid delusional", suffering from a "disease" and need counselling
for even asking such a question, says one answerer.

"Captains' Log: Conspiracy theory 8,000,998 - file between the Aliens Did It
and the Zulus' Did It." - I'll leave you to judge this answer for yourself.

Another answerer says
"Oh yes mighty nutcase and those that weren't there to see it and instead
rely on TV cameras. "
Honestly! How many people on earth were in NYC on September 11 2001
and were eye witnesses to the collapse of WTC 7? Of course we rely
on video footage.

Maybe anyone who asks scientific questions is just a 'mighty nutcase'
by the standards of this answerer? Maybe anyone who studies history
is just a 'mighty nutcase'? After all, by this assertion, unless we were
eyewitnesses to an event, how can we know anything about it?

This answerer also claims:
"If you look right across the street from WTC 1 you will see a building not unlike WTC 7 that was not hit, called the Banker's Trust building. It has been vacant since 9/11 because it is in danger of collapse."

Can anyone verify this claim? I find it highly dubious - why would a building
be left vacant for almost 5 years if it is in danger of collapse? Wouldn't
it be inspected and either repaired or pulled? And even if it did collapse,
would it collapse neatly, vertically, into its own footprint in under 7 seconds,
leaving a tidy rubble pile, without the help of carefully positioned explosives?
I don't think so!

"GRAVITY influenced by structural degradation. WHOA...Big words huh?"
says another. Yes, I fully agree - but structural degradation caused by what?
Fire? Debris? Or expertly placed explosives as cutter charges on the
load-bearing columns to cause a carefully sequenced structural failure?

"The building sustained severe structural damage when the twin towers
collapsed right near it."
Okay, fine. Where's the proof? Other buildings closer by sustained
damage and severe fires, but they didn't collapse. The idea that the debris
from the twins caused structural damage such that #7 suffered a vertical
collapse into a tidy pile of rubble in under 7 seconds seems highly
improbable to me.

Please, are there any scientists on this list who can post a scientific answer
based on physics to my question?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060903110709AA8NYLw

Thankyou. Any QUALITY answers are much appreciated,

James.

911wasaninsidejob posted the following question to Yahoo! Answers:

How did WTC 7 collapse if it wasn't a controlled demolition?

Was World Trade Centre 7 a controlled demolition?

WTC 1 and 2 were each hit by an aeroplane, and they collapsed.

However, WTC 7 was NOT hit by a plane and did NOT suffer major fires, and yet, incredibly, it collapsed neatly into its own footprint in 6.5 seconds. WTC 5 and 6, smaller buildings closer to the twin towers were gutted by fire, but they did NOT collapse.

In 100 years of steel frame building construction, NO STEEL FRAME BUILDING HAS EVER COLLAPSED SOLELY DUE TO FIRE, even though many have burned MUCH HOTTER and FOR MUCH LONGER.

... Except, we are told, WTC 7.

Hence my question:

If WTC 7 wasn't a controlled demolition, then how did it collapse?

And if it was a controlled demolition, which the video footage looks exactly like, and Larry Silverstein the building owner implies on PBS television, then who expertly placed the explosives to implode this building?

we're losing our ability to grow food outdoors. To demonstrate this we
need merely to extrapolate from annual quantifications of food lost to
Extreme Weather Events during the past two decades. Thus it's
unfortunate that there's so little research on the eco-friendliest

The Hungry
Planet:
As Stocks Run Out and Harvests Fail, the World Faces Its Worst
Crisis for 30 Years

By Geoffrey Lean
Published: 03 September 2006

Food supplies are shrinking alarmingly around the globe, plunging
the world into its greatest crisis for more than 30 years. New
figures show that this year's harvest will fail to produce enough to
feed everyone on Earth, for the sixth time in the past seven years.
Humanity has so far managed by eating its way through stockpiles
built up in better times - but these have now fallen below the
danger level.

Food prices have already started to rise as a result, and threaten
to soar out of reach of many of the 4.2 billion people who live in
the world's most vulnerable countries. And the new "green" drive to
get cars to run on biofuels threatens to make food even scarcer and
more expensive.

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the US
Department of Agriculture (USDA), which produce the world's two main
forecasts of the global crop production, both estimate that this
year's grain harvest will fall for the second successive year.

The FAO is still compiling its latest crop forecast - due to be
published next month - but told The Independent on Sunday late last
week that it looked like barely exceeding 2 billion tons, down from
2.38 billion last year, and 2.68 billion in 2004, although the
world's appetite has continued to grow as its population rises.

The USDA estimates it will be even lower - 1.984 billion tons. This
would mean that it would fall 58 million tons short of what the
world's people are expected to consume this year: 10 years ago, by
contrast, farmers grew 64 million tons more than was consumed. The
world's food stocks have shrunk from enough to feed the world for
116 days in 1999 to a predicted 57 days at the end of this season,
well below the official safety level. Prices have already risen by
up to 20 per cent this year.

The gathering crisis has been largely unnoticed because, for once,
the harvests have failed in rich countries such as the United States
and Australia, which normally export food, rather than in the
world's hungriest ones. So it has not immediately resulted in mass
starvation in Africa or Asia.

Instead, it will have a delayed effect as poor people become
increasingly unable to afford expensive food and find that there is
not enough in store to help them when their own crops fail.

The lack of world attention contrasts with the last great food
crisis, in the mid-1970s. Then Henry Kissinger - at the height of
his powers as Richard Nixon's Secretary of State - called a World
Food Conference, in which governments solemnly resolved that never
again would they allow humanity to run short of sustenance. The
conference, in Rome, resolved to eradicate hunger by the mid-1980s.
Kissinger himself pledged that "within a decade, no child should go
hungry to bed".

Yet, a generation later, more than 800 million people worldwide are
still constantly hungry. Every day, some 16,000 young children die,
at least partly because they do not get enough food. And the new
food crisis threatens to be even worse than the last one. In the
seven years running up to the Rome conference grain production fell
below consumption only three times, compared to six now.

It was at the conference that I first met Lester Brown, who has,
ever since, been the principal prophet of the coming scarcity,
repeatedly warning of the new crisis which is now upon us.

Brown - who now heads the Earth Policy Institute, a respected
Washington-based think tank - gleaned his first insights into the
world's predicament as a tomato tycoon when he was a teenager. Back
in the early 1950s, when he was just 14, he and his brother bought
an old tractor for $200 (�105), rented a couple of fields near their
home in southern New Jersey and started growing the vegetables after
school.

Soon the brothers were among the top 1 per cent of tomato growers in
the United States. They easily qualified for the Ten-Ton Tomato
Club - "the Phi Beta Kappa of tomato growers" - which is open to
those who harvested that amount per acre.

Then Campbell's Soups, trying to lower costs, threw money into
research to increase yields. Within a few years, the club had to
change its name to the Twenty-Ton Tomato Club. But the pace of
improvement could not be sustained. Despite decades of more research
growth of yields slowed dramatically; by the mid- 1990s the best
growers were getting about 30 tons of tomatoes per acre.

That, says Brown, is what has been happening to the world's harvests
as a whole. Between 1950 and 1990 grain yields more than doubled,
but they have grown much more slowly since. Production rose from
around 630 million tons to 1.78 billion tons, but has only edged up
in the past 15 years, to around 2 billion tons.

"The near-tripling of the harvest by the world's farmers was a
remarkable performance," says Brown. "In a single generation they
increased grain production by twice as much as had been achieved
during the preceding 11,000 years, since agriculture began. But now
the world has suffered a dramatic loss of momentum."

Apart from increasing yields, there has always been one other way of
boosting production - putting more land under the plough. But this,
too, has been running into the buffers. As population grows and
farmland is used for building roads and cities - and becomes
exhausted by overuse - the amount available for each person on Earth
has fallen by more than half.

There are more than five people on Earth today for every two living
in the middle of the last century. Yet enough is produced worldwide
to feed everyone well, if it is evenly distributed.

It is not just that people in rich countries eat too much, and those
in poor ones eat too little. Enormous quantities of the world's
increasingly scarce grain now goes to feed cows - and, indirectly,
cars.

The cows are longstanding targets of Brown's, who founded the
prestigious Worldwatch Institute immediately after the 1974
conference, partly to draw attention to the precariousness of food
supplies. As people become better-off, they eat more meat, the
animals that are slaughtered often being fed on grain. It takes 14kg
of grain to produce 2kg of beef, and 8kg of grain for 2kg of pork.
More than a third of the world's harvest goes to fatten animals in
this way.

Cars are a new concern, the worry arising from the present drive to
produce green fuels to fight global warming. A "corn rush" has
erupted in the United States, using the crop to produce the biofuel,
ethanol - strongly supported by subsidies from the Bush
administration to divert criticism of its failure to ratify the
Kyoto Protocol.

Just a single fill of ethanol for a four-wheel drive SUV, says
Brown, uses enough grain to feed one person for an entire year. This
year the amount of US corn going to make the fuel will equal what it
sells abroad; traditionally its exports have helped feed 100 -
mostly poor - countries.

From next year, the amount used to run American cars will exceed
exports, and soon it is likely to reduce what is available to help
feed poor people overseas. The number of ethanol plants built or
planned in the corn-belt state of Iowa will use virtually all the
state's crop.

This will not only cut food supplies, but drive up the process of
grain, making hungry people compete with the owners of gas-guzzlers.
Already spending 70 per cent of their meagre incomes on food, they
simply cannot afford to do so.

Brown expects the food crisis to get much worse as more and more
land becomes exhausted, soil erodes, water becomes scarcer, and
global warming cuts harvests.

Making cars more fuel-efficient, and eating less meat would help but
the only long-term solution is to enable poor countries - and
especially their poorest people - to grow more food. And the best
way to do that, studies show, is to encourage small farmers to grow
crops in environmentally friendly ways. Research at Essex University
shows that this can double yields.

But the world needs a new sense of urgency. "We are living very
close to the edge," says Brown. "History judges leaders by whether
they respond to great issues. For our generation, the issue may well
be food security."

Iran Says
U.S., Israel Ordered September 11 Attacks

Wed. 06 Sep 2006

Iran Focus
http://www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=8512

Tehran, Iran, Sep. 06 ? The Supreme Commander of Iran's Islamic
Revolutionary Guards Corps accused the Bush Administration and the
Israeli security service Mossad of ordering the September 11, 2001
attacks in New York and Washington, DC.

"The events of September 11 were ordered by U.S. [officials] and Mossad
so that they could carry out their strategy of pre-emption and
warmongering and unipolarisation in order to dominate the Middle East",
Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi told military commanders on Tuesday.
His comments were reported by the state-run news agency ISNA.

General Safavi said that Iran was the leading force of the "Islamic
world". "The geographic heart of the Islamic world is in Mecca and
Medina. But, the political heart of the Islamic world is in the Islamic
Republic of Iran and the Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] is the
flag-bearer of the front of Islamic awakening and the fronts of the
awakening of third world nations", he said.

He said that Washington had been defeated in its strategy of "attacking
Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon" and creating a new order in the Middle
East.

"The U.S.'s neo-conservative strategy was to dominate the vast energy
resources of the Persian Gulf in order to be able to control Europe,
China, and India and drive the world to a unipolar state. Therefore, it
planned to change undesirable regimes such as those of Iraq, Sudan,
Syria, and Afghanistan".

The IRGC general said that the Lebanese militia Hezbollah had defeated
Israel during their recent war. "After many years, the political and
military image and hollow might of the Zionist regime was broken and
the real power of Hezbollah fighters was proven. Thus, Hezbollah
defeated Israel".

He described Washington and Tel Aviv as two "inter-continental threats"
against Tehran. "The U.S. must be livid at Iran because of its
disgraceful defeats in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. Regarding
[Iran's] nuclear dossier, it might try to create circumstances so that
slowly but surely economic and political pressure is applied against
Iran by the [United Nations] Security Council".

He accused Washington of plotting a "cultural" attack on Tehran by
setting up new radio and television stations broadcasting into Iran,
supporting dissident groups, and stepping up intelligence operations.
"Therefore, the armed forces must be completely prepared in order to
combat any forms of foreign and domestic threats", he said.

He charged that Britain and the U.S. were stirring ethnic and religious
divisions in Iran, in particular in the provinces close to the
country's frontiers.

The IRGC's primary task is to export the Islamic revolution to
Jerusalem via Baghdad.

Hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one of many officials who
stem from the IRGC.

U.S. Losing Control Fast

By Dahr Jamail and Ali Al-Fadhily
September 6, 2006
Inter Press Service

RAMADI, Sep 5 (IPS) - The U.S. military has lost control over the
volatile al-Anbar province, Iraqi police and residents say.

The area to the west of Baghdad includes Fallujah, Ramadi and other
towns that have seen the worst of military occupation, and the
strongest resistance.

Despite massive military operations which destroyed most of Fallujah
and much of cities like Haditha and al-Qa'im in Ramadi, real control of
the city now seems to be in the hands of local resistance.

In losing control of this province, the U.S. would have lost control
over much of Iraq.

"We are talking about nearly a third of the area of Iraq," Ahmed
Salman, a historian from Fallujah told IPS. "Al-Anbar borders Jordan,
Syria and Saudi Arabia, and the resistance there will never stop as
long as there are American soldiers on the ground."

Salman said the U.S. military is working against itself. "Their actions
ruin their goal because they use these huge, violent military
operations which kill so many civilians, and make it impossible to calm
down the people of al-Anbar."

The resistance seems in control of the province now. "No government
official can do anything without contacting the resistance first,"
government official in Ramadi Abu Ghalib told IPS.

"Even the governor used to take their approval for everything. When he
stopped doing so, they issued a death sentence against him, and now he
cannot move without American protection."

Recent weeks have brought countless attacks on U.S. troops in Haditha,
Ramadi, Fallujah and on the Baghdad-Amman highway. Several armoured
vehicles have been destroyed, and dozens of U.S. soldiers killed in the
al-Anbar province, according to both Iraqi witnesses and the U.S.
Department of Defence.

Long stretches of the 550km Baghdad-Amman highway which crosses
al-Anbar are now controlled by resistance groups. Other parts are
targeted by highway looters.

"If we import any supplies for the U.S. Army or Iraqi government, the
fighters will take it from us and sell it in the local market," trader
Hayder al-Mussawi said. "And if we import for the local market, the
robbers will take it."

Eyewitnesses in Ramadi say many of the attacks are taking place within
their city. They say that the U.S. military recently asked citizens in
al-Anbar to stop targeting them, and promised to withdraw to their
bases in Haditha and Habaniyah (near Fallujah) soon, leaving the cities
for Iraqi security forces to patrol.

"I do not think that is possible," retired Iraqi police
Brigadier-General Kahtan al-Dulaimi from Ramadi told IPS. "I believe no
local unit could stand the severe resistance of al-Anbar, and it will
be the last province to be handed over to Iraqi security forces."

According to the group Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, 964 coalition
soldiers have been killed in al-Anbar, more than in any other Iraqi
province.. Baghdad is second, with 665 coalition deaths.

Residents of Ramadi told IPS that the U.S. military has knocked down
several buildings near the government centre in the city, the capital
of the province.

In an apparent move to secure their offices, U.S. Army and Marine
engineers have started to level a half-kilometre stretch of low-rise
buildings opposite the centre. Abandoned buildings in this area have
been used repeatedly to launch attacks on the government complex.

"They are trying to create a separation area between the offices of the
puppet government and the buildings the resistance are using to attack
them," a Ramadi resident said. "But now the Americans are making us all
angry because they are destroying our city."

U.S. troops have acknowledged their own difficulties in doing this.
"We're used to taking down walls, doors and windows, but eight city
blocks is something new to us," Marine 1st Lt. Ben Klay, 24, said in
the U.S. Department of Defence newspaper Stars and Stripes.

In nearby Fallujah, residents are reporting daily clashes between
Iraqi-U.S. security forces and the resistance.

"The local police force which used to be out of the conflict are now
being attacked," said a resident who gave his name as Abu Mohammed.
"Hundreds of local policemen have quit the force after seeing that they
are considered a legitimate target by fighters.."

The U.S. forces seem to have no clear policy in the face of the
sustained resistance.

"The U.S. Army seems so confused in handling the security situation in
Anbar," said historian Salman. "Attacks are conducted from al-Qa'im on
the Syrian border to Abu Ghraib west of Baghdad, all the way through
Haditha, Hit, Ramadi and Fallujah on a daily basis."

He added: "A contributing factor to the instability of the province is
the endless misery of the civilians who live with no services, no
infrastructure, random shootings and so many wrongful detentions."

According to the new Pentagon quarterly report on Measuring Security
and Stability in Iraq, Iraqi casualties rose 51 percent in recent
months. The report says Sunni-based insurgency is "potent and viable."

The report says that in a period since the establishment of the new
Iraqi government, between May 20 and Aug. 11 this year, the average
number of weekly attacks rose to nearly 800, almost double the number
of the attacks in early 2004.

Casualties among Iraqi civilians and security forces averaged nearly
120 a day during the period, up from 80 a day reported in the previous
quarterly report. Two years ago they were averaging roughly 30 a day.

On Aug. 31 the Pentagon announced that it is increasing the number of
U.S. troops in Iraq to 140,000, which is 13,000 more than the number
five weeks ago.

At least 65 U.S. soldiers were killed in August, with 36 of the deaths
reported in al-Anbar. That brought the total number killed to at least
2,642

The
War Is Lost

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
September 6, 2006

LewRockwell.com

The Pentagon�s latest quarterly "progress" report to Congress on Iraq
is a grim tale of a lost war. The Pentagon told Congress what Bush,
Cheney, Rumsfeld, and propaganda organs such as Fox "News" never tell
the American public, namely:

1. The Sunni-based insurgency remains "potent and viable" despite
spiraling Sunni-Shiite violence and beefed up US forces.

2. Since the last report three months ago, Iraqi casualties from
"sectarian clashes" � the Pentagon�s euphemism for civil war � have
soared by more than 50 percent.

3. From May when the new Iraqi government was established until
August, the average number of weekly attacks increased sharply to 800.

4. Since the previous report, Iraqi daily casualties have jumped by
50% from 80 per day to 120 per day. Currently, Iraqis are dying at the
rate of 43,800 per year from violence.

The Iraqi government cowers behind the fortified walls of the "Green
Zone." On August 31, the Kurds in the north took down the Iraqi flag
and replaced it with the Kurdish one. Most of Iraq is ruled by Shiite
and Sunni militias. Conflict between them has forced 160,000 Iraqis to
flee their homes.

Who is going to tell Bush that the war is lost?

Is Rumsfeld going to tell him?

Is Cheney going to tell him?

How can they tell him after all the bravado and false reports?

This is a delusional administration. Confronted with three major polls
showing that two-thirds of Americans oppose the Iraq war, Bush declared
that he is staying the course, demonstrating yet again his disdain for
common sense and the will of the American people.

If Bush and his neoconservative cabal were judged by their performance
they would be ridden out of town on a rail. If a court of law judged
their actions, they would walk the plank.

Everything this moronic regime promised about a "cakewalk" war and the
ease of pacifying Iraq and turning it into an American puppet democracy
has turned to ashes in President Bush�s mouth.

Having lost the Iraq war, the neoconservatives are determined to
initiate war with Iran.

National security expert John Prados says, "The pattern of manipulation
and misuse of intelligence that served the Bush administration in the
drive to start a war with Iraq is being repeated today for its neighbor
Iran."

It is now established beyond a reasonable doubt that the neocons
intentionally cooked up false intelligence in order to justify the
invasion of Iraq, an invasion that has resulted in tens of thousands of
Iraqi and American casualties, both dead and maimed.

Aggressive wars are themselves war crimes. To intentionally create a
false basis for an aggressive war is an act of high treason.

Alarmed by the neoconservative drive to start a war with Iran before
the US can extricate itself from the Iraq catastrophe, the CIA firmly
declared that any Iranian nuclear weapon is a decade away. This
undermines the neoconservatives� urgency to attack Iran now.

Neoconservative fanatics tried to discredit the CIA with a recent
report by the House Intelligence Committee Republican staff written by
neoconservative Frederick Fleitz, a prot�g� of neocon heavyweight John
Bolton, a person active in concocting the false case for war against
Iraq. Fleitz alleges that the CIA is a know-nothing agency that lacks
the ability to assess Iran�s ability to make nuclear weapons.

Neocons also dismiss the findings of the International Atomic Energy
Agency, which issued a report on August 31 reaffirming that there is no
tangible proof that Iran�s nuclear energy program has a military
aspect.

The neoconservatives plan to plunge America into war with Iran before
they can be held accountable for the lost war in Iraq.

This neoconservative conspiracy against the United States and Iran
must be stopped. Neocons must be removed from the government that they
have betrayed and held accountable for their crimes.

Before America can preach democracy to the world, we must first rescue
American democracy from the Bush regime and re-establish government
accountability to the people.

Dr. Roberts [send him mail] is Chairman of the Institute for Political
Economy and Research Fellow at the Independent Institute. He is a
former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, former contributing
editor for National Review, and was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
in the Reagan administration. He is the co-author of The Tyranny of
Good Intentions.

NOTE: If the US "Democratic" Party had been even slightly to
moderately honest about what really happened 9/11/01, it would have
been politically impossible for Disney/ABC to have made this film,
which the party now complains about. The people controlling the party
have known that 9/11 was an Inside Job, yet they've chosen to prevent
the general citizenry from learning it. Now they get their just
desserts. It is supremely ironic that the obedient little party
director complains that the film doesn't provide "an honest look" at
9/11 when in fact--as though part of a sardonic parody of a two-party
system--neither has the party itself for nearly five years now. It's
important to note that this infamous party has suppressed the truth of
not only 9/11 but also that of the stolen '00 and '04 elections, the
effects of depleted uranium emissions, the GOP pedophile culture and
even the truth of the murder its own Sen. Paul Wellstone and his wife
and his daughter and three of his staff and two plane crew. -- kl,

Executive Director of Democratic Party slams Disney/ABC for
"slanderous" fictional TV show about 9/11
by John in DC - 9/06/2006 09:56:00 PM

This just in from the Democratic National Committee. I have not seen
this kind of bitch-slapping coming out of the Democratic Party since
the onset of the Bush administration six years ago. This is vicious.
Well deserved, to be sure. But absolutely vicious.

Particularly stunning is a paragraph buried in the middle of the open
letter that can only be read as a direct threat against Disney/ABC's
access to the airwaves:
ABC is trying to use the airwaves -- airwaves owned by you and me, and
loaned to broadcasters as a public trust -- to slander Democrats and
sell a slanderous, irresponsible fraud to the American people, and
they're shamefully doing it just weeks away from Election Day.

If Disney/ABC doesn't fully appreciate the enemy it is creating in the
Democratic party, then heads need to roll at that firm because if I
were a shareholder, I'd be considering a suit in a jiffy.

Does a major national broadcast network want to stain itself by
presenting an irresponsible, slanderous, fraudulent, "docu-drama" to
the American public?

Not if you and I have the last word -- but either way, we're about to
find out.

The ABC television network -- a cog in the Walt Disney empire --
unleashed a promotional blitz in the last week for a new "docudrama"
called "The Path to 9/11". ABC has thrown its corporate might behind
the two-night production, and bills it as a public service: a TV event,
to quote the ABC tagline, "based on the 9/11 Commission Report".

That's false. "The Path to 9/11" is actually a bald-faced attempt to
slander Democrats and revise history right before Americans vote in a
major election.

The miniseries, which was put together by right-wing conservative
writers, relies on the old GOP playbook of using terrorism to scare
Americans. "The Path to 9/11" mocks the truth and dishonors the memory
of 9/11 victims to serve a cheap, callous political agenda. It
irresponsibly misrepresents the facts and completely distorts the
truth.

ABC/Disney executives need to hear from the public and understand that
their abuse of the public trust comes with a cost. Tell Walt Disney CEO
Robert Iger to keep this right-wing propaganda off the air -- we'll
deliver your message:

http://www.democrats.org/pathto911

This story is breaking quickly. The bias of the "docudrama" only became
known when ABC began circulating previews recently. Less than two weeks
ago, 9/11 Commission member Richard Ben-Veniste confronted a lead
writer of "The Path to 9/11" after watching the first half of the
miniseries at a screening, but most of what we know amounts to bits and
pieces because ABC chose to screen the miniseries to conservative
bloggers and right-wing media outlets exclusively. Almost none of the
Democrats portrayed in the film have even been asked for their
thoughts.

But we still know enough, thanks to news accounts and crack research,
to fact check "The Path to 9/11" as a biased, irresponsible mess.
Here's what you need to know:

Richard Clarke -- the counterterrorism czar for the Clinton
administration, now himself a consultant to ABC News -- describes a key
scene in "The Path to 9/11" as "180 degrees from what happened." In the
scene, a CIA field agent places a phone call to get the go ahead to
kill Osama Bin Laden, then in his sights, only to have a senior Clinton
administration official refuse and hang up the phone. Sandy Berger,
President Clinton's National Security Advisor, called the same scene "a
total fabrication. It did not happen." And Roger Cressey, a top Bush
and Clinton counterterrorism official, said it was "something straight
out of Disney and fantasyland. It's factually wrong. And that's
shameful."

Another scene revives the old right-wing myth that press reporting made
it impossible to track Osama bin Laden, accusing the Washington Post of
blowing the secret that American intelligence tracked his satellite
phone calls. In reality, responsibility for that blunder -- contrary to
"The Path to 9/11" -- rests with none other than the arch-conservative
Washington Times.

The former National Security Council head of counterterrorism says that
President Clinton "approved every request made of him by the CIA and
the U.S. military involving using force against bin Laden and
al-Qaeda," and the 9/11 report says the CIA had full authority from
President Clinton to strike Bin Laden. Yet chief "Path to 9/11"
scriptwriter Cyrus Nowrasteh, a friend of Rush Limbaugh, says the
miniseries shows how President Clinton had "frequent opportunities in
the '90s to stop Bin Laden in his tracks -- but lacked the will to do
so."
ABC asked only the Republican co-chair of the 9/11 Commission, Tom
Kean, Sr., to advise the makers of "The Path to 9/11". The producers
optioned two books, one written by a Bush administration political
appointee, as the basis of the screenplay -- yet bill the miniseries as
"based on the 9/11 Commission Report."

This is a picture of bias -- a conservative attempt to rewrite the
history of September 11 to blame Democrats, just in time for the
election.

Tell Walt Disney president Robert Iger that you hold his company
responsible -- and that this community demands that ABC tell the truth:

http://www.democrats.org/pathto911

ABC is trying to use the airwaves -- airwaves owned by you and me, and
loaned to broadcasters as a public trust -- to slander Democrats and
sell a slanderous, irresponsible fraud to the American people, and
they're shamefully doing it just weeks away from Election Day.

The Walt Disney Corporation could have given Americans an honest look
at September 11. Instead, the company abandoned its duty to the truth
-- and embraced the fiction known as "The Path to 9/11."

But ABC isn't the only company pushing this gross revision of history.
ABC has enlisted the reputable education and children's entertainment
company Scholastic, Inc. to send 100,000 letters to high school
teachers, urging them to show students "The Path to 9/11". Scholastic
has also created a discussion guide for teachers to use to encourage
students and their families to watch this irresponsible fraud and then
discuss it in school. The discussion guide does not in any way point
out the concerns and criticisms that have been raised about the
validity and accuracy of the film.

We've got to stop this now.

ABC/Disney must face an accountability moment. You can ratchet up the
pressure on ABC by sending your own letter to Walt Disney CEO Robert
Iger -- tell him to keep this propaganda off their air.

http://www.democrats.org/pathto911

We'll keep you up to date as this story evolves.

Thank you,
Tom

Don't be fooled by this reform:
the IMF is still the rich world's viceroy

By George Monbiot
September 7, 2006

The Guardian [U.K.] - 2006-09-05

Don't be fooled by this reform: the IMF is still the rich world's
viceroy

What will be passed off as a democratisation is in fact a way of
ensuring the poor global majority continue to have no say

The glacier has begun to creak. In the world's most powerful
dictatorship we detect the merest hint of a thaw. I am not talking
about China or Uzbekistan, Burma or North Korea. This state runs no
torture chambers or labour camps. No one is executed, though plenty
starve to death as a result of its policies. The unhurried perestroika
is taking place in Washington, in the offices of the International
Monetary Fund.

Like most concessions made by dictatorial regimes, the reforms seem
designed not to catalyse further change, but to prevent it. By slightly
increasing the shares (and therefore the voting powers) of China, South
Korea, Mexico and Turkey, the regime hopes to buy off the most powerful
rebel warlords, while keeping the mob at bay. It has even thrown a few
coppers from the balcony, for the great unwashed to scuffle over. But
no one - except the leaders of the rich nations and the leader writers
of just about every newspaper in the rich world - could regard this as
an adequate response to its problems.

The fund is a body with 184 members. It is run by seven of them - the
US, Japan, Germany, the UK, France, Canada and Italy. These happen to
be the seven countries that (with Russia) promised to save the world at
the G8 meeting in 2005. The junta sustains its control by insisting
that each dollar buys a vote. The bigger a country's financial quota,
the more say it has over the running of the IMF. This means that it is
run by the countries that are least affected by its policies.

A major decision requires 85% of the vote, which ensures that the US,
with 17%, has a veto over the fund's substantial business. The UK,
Germany, France and Japan have 22% between them, and each has a
permanent seat on the board. By a weird arrangement permitting rich
nations to speak on behalf of the poor, Canada and Italy have effective
control over a further 8%. The other European countries are also
remarkably powerful: Belgium, for example, has a direct entitlement to
2.1% of the vote and indirect control over 5.1% - more than twice the
allocation of India or Brazil. Europe, Japan, Canada and the US wield a
total of 63%. The 80 poorest countries, by contrast, have 10% between
them.

These quotas no longer even reflect real financial contributions to the
running of the IMF: it now obtains much of its capital from loan
repayments by its vassal states. But the G7 nations still behave as if
it belongs to them. They decide who runs it (the managing director is
always a European and his deputy always an American) and how the money
is spent. You begin to wonder why the developing countries bother to
turn up.

In principle, this power is supposed to be balanced by something called
the "basic vote" - 250 shares (entitling them to $25m worth of votes)
are allocated to every member. But while the value of the rich
countries' quotas has risen since the IMF was founded in 1944, the
value of the basic votes has not. It has fallen from 11.3% of the total
allocation to 2.1%. The leaked paper passed to me by an excellent
organisation called the Bretton Woods Project (everything we know about
the IMF has to be leaked) shows that the fund intends to democratise
itself by "at least doubling" the basic vote. That sorts it all out,
then - the 80 poorest countries will be able to claim, between them,
another 0.9%. Even this pathetic concession was granted only after the
African members took a political risk by publicly opposing the fund's
proposals. Doubtless the US government is currently reviewing their
trading status.

All this is compounded by an internal political process that looks as
if it was contrived in North Korea, not Washington. There are no formal
votes, just a "consensus process" controlled by the Dear Leaders of the
G7. The decisions taken by each member state cannot be revealed to the
public. Nor can the transcripts of the board's meetings and the
"working papers" on which it bases its internal reforms. Even reports
by the IMF's ombudsman - the "independent evaluation office" - are
censored by the management, and their conclusions are changed to shift
the blame for the fund's failures to its client states. Needless to
say, the IMF insists that the states it lends to must commit themselves
to "good governance" and "transparency" if they are to receive its
money.

None of this would matter so much if it had stuck to its original
mandate of stabilising the international monetary system. But after the
collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement in 1971 the IMF more or less
lost its mission to maintain exchange rates, and began to look for a
new role. As a paper by the law professor Daniel Bradlow shows, when it
amended its articles of asso-ciation in 1978 they were so loosely
drafted as to grant the IMF permission to interfere in almost any
aspect of a country's governance. It lost its influence over the
economic policies of the G7 and became instead the rich world's
viceroy, controlling the poorer nations at its behest. It began to
micro-manage their economies without reference to the people or even
their governments. Since then, no rich country has required its
services, and few poor countries have been able to shake it off.

This casts an interesting light on the decision - to be endorsed at the
IMF's meeting in Singapore next week - to enhance the quota for the
four middle-income countries. After the fund "helped" the struggling
economies of east and south-east Asia in 1997, by laying waste to them
on behalf of US hedge funds and investment companies, the nations of
that region decided that they would never allow themselves to fall prey
to it again.

They began indemnifying themselves against the fund's tender loving
care by building up their own reserves of capital. Now, just as China
and South Korea have ensured that they will never again require the
IMF's services, they have been granted more power to decide how it
operates. In other words, they are deemed fit to govern when - like the
G7 - they can exercise power without reaping the consequences. The
smaller your stake in the outcome, the greater your vote.

None of this seems to cause any difficulties to the gatekeepers of
mainstream opinion. On Saturday a leading article in the Washington
Post observed that "to be legitimate, multilateral institutions must
reflect the global distribution of power as it is now, not as it was
when these institutions were set up more than half a century ago". What
a fascinating definition that is, and how wrong we must have been to
imagine that legitimacy requires democracy. Hurrah for corporatism - it
didn't die with Mussolini after all.

I am among those who believe that the IMF is, and always will be, the
wrong body - inherently flawed and constitutionally unjust. But if its
leaders and supporters are to persuade us that it might, one day, have
a legitimate role in running the world's financial systems, they will
have to do a hell of a lot better than this.

Michel Chossudovsky: The Next Phase of the Middle East War

The Next Phase of the Middle East War

By Michel Chossudovsky
09/05/06 "GlobalResearch" -- -- Israel's war on Lebanon is an integral part of a US sponsored "military roadmap".
The war on Lebanon, which has resulted in countless atrocities including the destruction of the nation's economy and civilian infrastructure, is "a stage" in a sequence of carefully planned military operations.
Lebanon constitutes a strategic corridor between Israel and North-western Syria. The underlying objective of this war was the militarization of Lebanon, including the stationing of foreign troops, as a precondition for carrying out the next phase of a broader military agenda.
Formally under a UN mandate, the foreign troops to be stationed on Lebanese soil on the immediate border with Syria, will be largely although not exclusively from NATO countries. This military force mandated by the UN Security Council is by no means neutral. It responds directly to US and Israeli interests.
Moreover, the timely withdrawal of Syrian troops, following the February 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has contributed to opening up a "new space". The withdrawal of Syrian troops served Israeli interests. The timely pullout was of strategic significance: it was a major factor in the timing and planning of the July 2006 IDF attacks on Lebanon.
In the aftermath of the Israeli bombings and the "ceasefire", UN Security Council Resolution 1701, drafted by France and the US in close consultation with the Israeli government, has paved the way for the militarization of Lebanon, under a bogus UN mandate.
The Next Phase of the Middle East War
onfirmed by official statements and military documents, the US in close coordination with Britain (and in consultation with its NATO partners), is planning to launch a war directed against Iran and Syria. US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton has already initiated the draft of a UN Security Council resolution with a view to imposing sanctions on Tehran for its alleged (nonexistent) nuclear weapons program. Whether this resolution is adopted is not the main issue. The US may decide to proceed in defiance of the Security Council, following a veto by Russia and/or China. The vote of France and Britain, among the permanent members has already been secured.
US military sources have confirmed that an aerial attack, pursuant to a sanctions regime on Iran, with or without UN approval, would involve a large scale deployment comparable to the US "shock and awe" bombing raids on Iraq in March 2003:
American air strikes on Iran would vastly exceed the scope of the 1981 Israeli attack on the Osiraq nuclear center in Iraq, and would more resemble the opening days of the 2003 air campaign against Iraq. Using the full force of operational B-2 stealth bombers, staging from Diego Garcia or flying direct from the United States, possibly supplemented by F-117 stealth fighters staging from al Udeid in Qatar or some other location in theater, the two-dozen suspect nuclear sites would be targeted.
Military planners could tailor their target list to reflect the preferences of the Administration by having limited air strikes that would target only the most crucial facilities ... or the United States could opt for a far more comprehensive set of strikes against a comprehensive range of WMD related targets, as well as conventional and unconventional forces that might be used to counterattack against US forces in Iraq

(See Globalsecurity.org at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iran-strikes.htm
The aerial bombing plans have been fully operational ("in an advanced state of readiness") since June 2005. The various components of the military operation are firmly under US Command, coordinated by the Pentagon and US Strategic Command Headquarters (USSTRATCOM) at the Offutt Air Force base in Nebraska.
In November 2004, US Strategic Command conducted a major exercise of a "global strike plan" entitled "Global Lightening". The latter involved a simulated attack using both conventional and nuclear weapons against a "fictitious enemy" [Iran]. Following the "Global Lightening" exercise, US Strategic Command declared "an advanced state of readiness".
The operational implementation of the Global Strike is called CONCEPT PLAN (CONPLAN) 8022. The latter is described as "an actual plan that the Navy and the Air Force translate into strike package for their submarines and bombers,'
The command structure of the operation is centralized and ultimately The Pentagon will decide on the sequence; " if and when" to launch military operations against Iran and Syria. Israeli military actions and those of other coalition partners including Turkey, would be carried out in close coordination with the Pentagon.
Ground War
While the threat of punitive aerial bombardments of Iran's nuclear facilities have been announced repeatedly by the Bush administration, recent developments suggest that an all out ground war is also under preparation.
CONPLAN constitutes only one component of the Middle East military agenda. CONPLAN 8022 does not contemplate a ground war. It posits "no boots on the ground", which was the initial assumption envisaged in relation to the proposed aerial attacks on Iran.
US and Israeli military planners are fully aware that the aerial "punitive bombings" will almost inevitably lead coalition forces into a ground war scenario in which they will have to confront Iranian and Syrian forces in the battlefield.
Tehran has confirmed that it will retaliate if attacked, in the form of ballistic missile strikes directed against Israel as well as against US military facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf, which would immediately lead us into a scenario of military escalation and all out war.
Iranian troops could cross the Iran-Iraq border and confront coalition forces inside Iraq. Israeli troops and/or Special Forces could enter into Syria.
The foreign troops stationed in Lebanon under UN mandate would respond to the diktats of the US led coalition and the prior commitments reached with Washington and Tel Aviv in the context of the various military alliances (NATO-Israel, Turkey-Israel, GUUAM, etc).
War Games
These military preparations have also been marked, quite recently, by the conduct of war games.
In late August, Iran was involved in the conduct of war games in major regions of the country, including border areas with Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Iran's Defense Minister General Mostafa Mohammad Najjar has confirmed the deployment of enhanced military capabilities including weapons systems and troops on the Iranian border: "[Iranian] forces are supervising all movements by trans-regional troops and their agents around the Iranian borders" (FARS news, 2 September 2006)
Iran War Games August 2006.
in the region including the planned attacks against Iran. (See Michel Chossudovsky, August 2006). In turn, China an Kazakhstan held concurrent war games under the auspices of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Azerbaijan and neighboring Georgia have close military ties to Washington. Both countries are part of GUUAM, a military alliance with the US and NATO.

Turkey is a close ally of Israel. Since 2005, Israel has deployed Special Forces in the mountainous areas of Turkey bordering Iran and Syria with the collaboration of the Ankara government: Pakistan is also a close ally of the US and Britain. Georgia also has a military cooperation agreement with Israel.

Meanwhile, the USS Enterprise, America's largest aircraft carrier is en route to the Persian Gulf.
US Troop Build-up
US troops in Iraq have been increased to 140,000 as confirmed by recent Pentagon statements (Reuters, 2 September 2006) These plans have been coupled with a the compulsory recall of "inactive servicemen" as well as the expansion of mercenary forces. (Mahdi Darius Namzaroaya, August 2006)
The Pentagon justifies the troop build-up as part of a "routine" process of replacement and rotation, required in its ongoing war against "terrorists" in Iraq. The speeding up of military recruitment is also occurring in the core countries of the Anglo-American coalition including Great Britain. Australia and Canada (see also Recruiting Canada). Canada and Australia are aligned with the US. Australian Prime Minister John Howard as well as Canada's Steven Harper have confirmed their commitment to the US-Israeli war and have promised an expansion of the armed forces in their respective countries.
Meanwhile British troops stationed in Iraq have been redeployed to the Iranian border in southern Iraq. This redeployment has been casually presented by Britain's Ambassador to Iraq as part of a "crack down on smuggling and the entrance of weapons into Iraq from Iran".
While British officials are maintaining no desire or preparations for a conflict with Iran, more British troops are being mobilized and deployed to Iraq at the same time. The Light Infantry of the 2nd Battalion, another unit with rapid deployment capabilities, is deploying to the southern Iraqi border with Iran. The 2nd Battalion is being sent to Iraq under the pretext of working in the Rear Operations Battle Group which will provide escorts for military convoys and security for British forces and bases in Basra. (See Mahdi Darius Namzaroaya, August 2006)
The Role of Israel
In the wake of the war on Lebanon. Israel's military plans and pronouncements are increasingly explicit. Tel Aviv has announced plans to wage a pre-emptive "full-scale war" against Iran and Syria, implying the deployment of both air and ground force. These war plans are now said to at the top of the defense agenda:
"Israel is preparing for a possible war with both Iran and Syria, according to Israeli political and military sources."
(...)
"The challenge from Iran and Syria is now top of the Israeli defense agenda, higher than the Palestinian one," said an Israeli defense source. Shortly before the war in Lebanon Major-General Eliezer Shkedi, the commander of the air force, was placed in charge of the "Iranian front", a new position in the Israeli Defense Forces. His job will be to command any future strikes on Iran and Syria."
(...)
In the past we prepared for a possible military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities," said one insider, "but Iran's growing confidence after the war in Lebanon means we have to prepare for a full-scale war, in which Syria will be an important player."
(...)
As a result of the change in the defense priorities, the budget for the Israeli forces in the West Bank and Gaza is to be reduced." (Sunday Times, 3 September 2006)
Media Disinformation
The Western media is beating the drums of war.
The Sunday Times views Israel's war plans as legitimate acts of self defense, to prevent Tehran from launching an all out nuclear attack on Israel: "Iran and Syria have ballistic missiles that can cover most of Israel, including Tel Aviv. An emergency budget has now been assigned to building modern shelters."
The fact that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons capabilities as confirmed by the IAEA report does not seem to be an issue for debate.
Media disinformation has contributed to creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. The announcement on August 10 by the British Home Office of a foiled large scale terror attack to simultaneously blow up as many as ten airplanes, conveys the impression that it is the Western World rather than the Middle East which is under attack.

Realities are twisted upside down. The disinformation campaign has gone into full gear. The British and US media are increasingly pointing towards "preemptive war" as an act of "self defense" against Al Qaeda and the State sponsors of terrorism, who are allegedly preparing a Second 911.
The underlying objective, through fear and intimidation, is ultimately to build public acceptance for the next stage of the Middle East "war on terrorism" which is directed against Syria and Iran.
The antiwar movement has also been weakened.
While China and Russia will oppose the US led war at the diplomatic level as well as at the UN Security Council, Washington has secured the support of France and Germany. While Russia and China have military cooperation agreements with Iran, they would most probably not would intervene militarily in favor of Iran.
NATO is broadly supportive of the US led military agenda. In February 2005, NATO signed a military cooperation agreement with Israel.
Nuclear Weapons against Iran
The use of tactical nuclear weapons by the US and Israel against Iran, is contemplated, ironically in retaliation for Iran's nonexistent nuclear weapons program.
The Bush administration's new nuclear doctrine contains specific "guidelines" which allow for "preemptive" nuclear strikes against "rogue enemies" which "possess" or are "developing" weapons of mass destruction (WMD). (2001 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) and Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations (DJNO)).
CONPLAN 8022, referred to above, is 'the overall umbrella plan for sort of the pre-planned strategic scenarios involving nuclear weapons.'
'It's specifically focused on these new types of threats -- Iran, North Korea -- proliferation and potentially terrorists too,' he said. 'There's nothing that says that they can't use CONPLAN 8022 in limited scenarios against Russian and Chinese targets.'(According to Hans Kristensen, of the Nuclear Information Project, quoted in Japanese economic News Wire, op cit)
The mission of JFCCSGS is to implement CONPLAN 8022, in other words to trigger a nuclear war with Iran.
The Commander in Chief, namely George W. Bush would instruct the Secretary of Defense, who would then instruct the Joint Chiefs of staff to activate CONPLAN 8022.
The use of nuclear weapons against Iran would be coordinated with Israel, which possesses a sophisticated nuclear arsenal.
The use of nuclear weapons by Israel or the US cannot be excluded, particularly in view of the fact that tactical nuclear weapons have now been reclassified as a variant of the conventional bunker buster bombs and are authorized for use in conventional war theaters. ("they are harmless to civilians because the explosion is underground").
In this regard, Israel and the US rather than Iran constitute a nuclear threat.
The World is at a Critical Crossroads

The Bush Administration has embarked upon a military adventure which threatens the future of humanity. This is not an overstatement. If aerial bombardments were to be launched against Iran, they would trigger a ground war and the escalation of the conflict to a much broader region. Even in the case of aerial and missile using conventional warheads, the bombings would unleash a nuclear nightmare resulting from the spread of nuclear radiation following the destruction of Iran's nuclear energy facilities.
Throughout history, the structure of military alliances has played a crucial role in triggering major military conflicts. In contrast to the situation prevailing prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, America's ongoing military adventure is now firmly supported by the Franco-German alliance. Moreover, Israel is slated to play a direct role in this military operation.
NATO is firmly aligned with the Anglo-American-Israeli military axis, which also includes Australia and Canada. In 2005, NATO signed a military cooperation agreement with Israel, and Israel has a longstanding bilateral military agreement with Turkey.
Iran has observer status in The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and is slated to become a full member of SCO. China and Russia have far-reaching military cooperation agreements with
China and Russia are firmly opposed to a US-led military operation in the diplomatic arena. While the US sponsored military plan threatens Russian and Chinese interests in Central Asia and the Caspian sea basin, it is unlikely that they would intervene militarily on the side of Iran or Syria.
The planned attack on Iran must be understood in relation to the existing active war theaters in the Middle East, namely Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon-Palestine.
The conflict could easily spread from the Middle East to the Caspian sea basin. It could also involve the participation of Azerbaijan and Georgia, where US troops are stationed.
Military action against Iran and Syria would directly involve Israel's participation, which in turn would trigger a broader war throughout the Middle East, not to mention the further implosion in the Palestinian occupied territories. Turkey is closely associated with the proposed aerial attacks.
If the US-UK-Israeli war plans were to proceed, the broader Middle East- Central Asian region would flare up, from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Afghan-Chinese border. At present, there are three distinct war theaters: Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine-Lebanon. An attack directed against Iran would serve to integrate these war theaters transforming the broader Middle East Central Asian region into an integrated war zone. (see map above)
In turn the US sponsored aerial bombardments directed against Iran could contribute to triggering a ground war characterized by Iranian attacks directed against coalition troops in Iraq. In turn, Israeli forces would enter into Syria.
An attack on Iran would have a direct impact on the resistance movement inside Iraq. It would also put pressure on America's overstretched military capabilities and resources in both the Iraqi and Afghan war theaters.
In other words, the shaky geopolitics of the Central Asia- Middle East region, the three existing war theaters in which America is currently, involved, the direct participation of Israel and Turkey, the structure of US sponsored military alliances, etc. raises the specter of a broader conflict.
The war against Iran is part of a longer term US military agenda which seeks to militarize the entire Caspian sea basin, eventually leading to the destabilization and conquest of the Russian Federation.
The Pentagon's Second 911
The economic and political dislocations resulting from this military agenda are far-reaching.
If the attacks directed against Iran and Syria were to proceed, martial law and/or a state of emergency could be declared in the US and possibly Britain on the pretext that the homeland is under attack by Iran sponsored terrorists. The purpose of these measures would essentially be to curb the antiwar movement and provide legitimacy to an illegal war.
The Pentagon has intimated in this regard, in an official statement, that "another [9/11] attack could create both a justification and an opportunity to retaliate against some known targets [Iran and Syria]". In a timely statement, barely a few days following the onslaught of the bombing of Lebanon, Vice President Cheney reiterated his warning: "The enemy that struck on 9/11 is fractured and weakened, yet still lethal, still determined to hit us again" (Waterloo Courier, Iowa, 19 July 2006, italics added).
Reversing the Tide of War
The issues raised in this article do not necessarily imply that the war will take place. What the analysis of official statments and military documents onfirms is that:

a) the war is part of a political agenda;

b) military plans to launch an attack on Iran and Syria are "in an advanced stage of readiness".

The issue is not whether the war will inevitably take place but what are the instruments at our disposal which will enable us to shunt and ultimately disarm this global military agenda.

War criminals occupy positions of authority. The citizenry is galvanized into supporting the rulers, who are "committed to their safety and well-being". Through media disinformation, war is given a humanitarian mandate.
The legitimacy of the war must be addressed. Antiwar sentiment alone does not disarm a military agenda. High ranking officials of the Bush administration, members of the military and the US Congress have been granted the authority to uphold an illegal war.

The corporate backers and sponsors of war and war crimes must also be targeted including the oil companies, the defense contractors, the financial institutions and the corporate media, which has become an integral part of the war propaganda machine.
There is a sense of urgency. In the weeks and months ahead, the antiwar movement must act, consistently, and address a number of key issues:
1. The role of media disinformation in sustaining the military agenda is crucial.

We will not succeed in our endeavours unless the propaganda apparatus is weakened and eventually dismantled. It is essential to inform our fellow citizens on the causes and consequences of the US-led war, not to mention the extensive war crimes and atrocities which are routinely obfuscated by the media. This is no easy task. It requires an effective counter-propaganda program which refutes mainstream media assertions.

It is essential that the relevant information and analysis reaches the broader public. The Western media is controlled by a handful of powerful business syndicates. The media conglomerates which control network TV and the printed press must be challenged through cohesive actions which reveal the lies and falsehoods.

2. There is opposition within the political establishment in the US as well as within the ranks of the Armed Forces.

While this opposition does not necessarily question to overall direction of US foreign policy, it is firmly opposed to military adventurism, including the use of nuclear weapons. These voices within the institutions of the State, the Military and the business establishment are important because they can be usefully channeled to discredit and ultimately dismantle the "war on terrorism" consensus. The broadest possible alliance of political and social forces is, therefore, required to prevent a military adventure which in a very real sense threatens the future of humanity.
3. The structure of military alliances must be addressed. A timely shift in military alliances could potentially reverse the course of history.

Whereas France and Germany are broadly supportive of the US led war, there are strong voices in both countries as well as within the European Union, which firmly oppose the US led military agenda, both at the grassroots level as well within the political system itself.

It is essential that the commitments made by European heads of government and heads of State to Washington be cancelled or nullified, through pressure exerted at the appropriate political levels. This applies, in particular, to the unbending support of the Bush adminstration, expressed by President Jacques Chirac and Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The weakening of the system of alliances which commits Western Europe to supporting the Anglo-American military axis, could indeed contribute to reversing the tide. Washington would hesitate to wage a war on Iran without the support of France and Germany.
4. The holding of large antiwar rallies is important and essential. But in will not in itself reverse the tide of war unless it is accompanied by the development of a cohesive antiwar network.

What is required is a grass roots antiwar network, a mass movement at national and international levels, which challenges the legitimacy of the main military and political actors, as well as their corporate sponsors, and which would ultimately be instrumental in unseating those who rule in our name. The construction of this type of network will take time to develop. Initially, it should focus on developing an antiwar stance within existing citizens' organizations (e.g. trade unions, community organizations, professional regroupings, student federations, municipal councils, etc.).
5. 9/11 plays a crucial and central role in the propaganda campaign.

The threat of an Al Qaeda "Attack on America" is being used profusely by the Bush administration and its indefectible British ally to galvanize public opinion in support of a global military agenda. Revealing the lies behind 911 would serve to undermine the legitimacy of the "war on terrorism". Without 911, the war criminals in high office do not have a leg to stand on. The entire national security construct collapses like a deck of cards. Known and documented, the "Islamic terror network" is a creation of the US intelligence apparatus. Several of the terror alerts were based on fake intelligence as revealed in the recent foiled "liquid bomb attack". There is evidence that the several of the terrorist "mass casualty events" which have resulted in civilian casualties were triggered by the military and/or intelligence services. (e.g Bali 2002).

The "war on terrorism" is bogus. The 911 narrative as conveyed by the 911 Commission report is fabricated. The Bush administration is involved in acts of cover-up and complicity at the highest levels of government.

unrealistic (straw man) assumptions about what demolition by thermat

Puddles Of Steel 6 Weeks After WTC Demolition
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F0MnfzkOhM&amp;mode=related&search=

Lets pretend the jet fuel could actually burn hot enough to weaken the steel structure of the towers, which is less then likely. Well how can anyone explain the puddles of melted steel that remained 6 weeks after the collapse of the world trade centers? ... (more)
-------------------------------

It's the molten steel that proves the 9-11 false-flag crime (one of many proofs).

Molten aluminum disproves the no-planers, but not the 9-11 scholar-scientist investigators.

Ruthercap claims the thermate would have to have been applied "around 236 steel supports all around the outside of the building " Moseley says it would have had to have been employed " cutting 236 or so perimeter steel columns, all around the outside of the building on each floor ... would have to be located in approximately 250 different locations on EVERY floor, counting the interior columns in addition to the PERIMETER columns."
"

But all that was not necessary -- what was needed was that thermate be used to collapse one floor to start the pancaking domino effect -- maybe this required one thermate device at the core on just one floor. Remember what Ruthercap and Mosely are claiming, that a jetliner made a hole and spilled kerosene which softened the steel which caused the collapse. The answer is that such an event would not provide sufficient heat or mechanical destruction to bring down the building. More heat was needed -- and more heat is in evidence in the form of the molten steel that kerosene could not have produced. Jones finds the traces chemists would expect from thermate. What is there left to say?

If heat was applied to the core on one floor of each tower you may or may not expect to see from the outside streams of molten steel draining down the outside walls.

Let's do a reality check. Was there molten steel 3 to 5 weeks after the event? Could a fire of kerosene and office furniture and walls still with asbestos fire-proofing have melted (not weakened, but melted!) that steel?

And is there any way that NIST considered (tested) the thermate explanation? Is there any reason why NIST has not discussed the molten metal pool under the debris of south tower -- certainly they should have identified what kind of metal it was in their extensive report. Can someone direct me to such a discussion by NIST?

From: Jacob Roginsky

I am not sure aluminum will melt at the temperatures of the ordinary office fires.
What is the average temperature of an ordinary office fire? The melting point of
aluminum is 1220 degrees Fahrenheit.

...

Jones claims that the emissivity of melted aluminum is very low and that as a
result of that and its other characteristics melted aluminum must have silvery color,
rather than the color of the metallic liquid observed at WTC.

...

Jon Moseley "allegedly" wrote:

... one person jumps back and forth between (a) molten metal allegedly seen just before collapse -- in ONE tower ONLY as you point out, (b) molten metal allegedly existing just after collapse, and (c) molten metal allegedly seen 3 to 5 weeks later.

...

... referring to the video of bright yellow liquid, apparently molten metal. The NIST has concluded that this was aluminum from the aircraft, which would melt easily at the temperatures of an ordinary office fire, much less a fire with accelerant from jet fuel.

MY POINT was that the bright yellow flow of apparent metal seen in news footage occurs CONCENTRATED in ONE LOCATION. That is IN-consistent with demolition, which would require thermite or thermate ...CUTTING 236 or so PERIMETER steel columns, ALL AROUND THE OUTSIDE of the building on EACH floor.

Thus thermite / thermate ... would have to be located in approximately 250 different locations on EVERY floor, counting the interior columns in addition to the PERIMETER columns.

... You are talking about poured concrete floors with expansion joints and pipes that lead to the lower floors All are access ways for the Molten Alloy to travel downwards and laterally which it did. The molten pool of aircraft alloy did not stay in one place but spread out and down causing secondary fires and thermal transfer to floor support beams and Columns.

There was no controlled demolition in any of any of the buildings that collapsed on 91101 Simply put the Steel that was recovered from the affected floors shows the massive fire damage and there is a problem with any steel analysis from the WTC towers or the recovery site.

the exact Location of the sample recovered must be recorded and date removed from site this is not done by any of the independent research groups. There fore most of their findings I do not accept as they fail Evidence standards. ...

Also, The pooling you speak of only occurred in WTC south that was hit off center and while the main body of the aircraft did for the most part stay inside the south tower with the exception of both of the jets, the front wheel and fragments of the plane .

ruthercap@earthlink.net writes:

You will note that the flow of molten metal, which apparently is authentic, comes from ONE location.

If there were demolition, the demolition would have to destroy around 236 steel supports all around the OUTSIDE of the building (I forget the exact number, forgive me, it might be 238 or something like that). Therefore, any molten metal would flow ALL AROUND THE BUILDING from 236 to 238 different locations, where each of the steel supports were being cut. Instead, we see a single flow in ONE place.

Bush acknowledges existence of CIA prisons

Updated Thu. Sep. 7 2006 11:33 AM ET

CTV.ca News Staff

U.S. President George Bush has confirmed terrorist suspects were
held in secret CIA prisons outside the country, but argued the
program kept America safe from potential attacks.

"This program has helped us to take potential mass murderers off
the streets before they were able to kill," said Bush.

Among the detainees were alleged Sept. 11, 2001 masterminds
Khalid Sheik Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh. Along with 12 other
suspected terrorist leaders, they were transported to windowless
cells at Guantanamo Bay.

Bush said he plans to have the men face military tribunals,
despite the Supreme Court outlawing the practice in June --
Justice John Paul Stevens ruled the trials violated both U.S. law
and the Geneva Convention.

If the U.S. Congress supports Bush's proposal, the military will
file charges against about 75 of the suspects, according to The
Associated Press.

Some could face the death penalty, including Mohammed.

"Obviously, someone of (Khalid Sheik Mohammed's) magnitude it
would be reasonable to expected would be subject to the death
penalty," Guantanamo's chief prosecutor, Air Force Air Force Col.
Morris Davis, told AP.

Congress has been asked to approve the military tribunals within
the next few weeks. The acknowledgement of the secret prisons
comes just two months before crucial congressional elections, and
could make security a defining issue in the next election.

"These dramatic revelations have so far framed the election
issues and debate -- one that Republicans think plays to their
strength, saying in effect: look what we've done so far, you
might want to keep us around," reported CTV's Washington Bureau
Chief Tom Clark.

The detainees are now being held in Guantanamo's Camp 5, created
for suspects accused of the most severe offences or those who
likely have valuable information.

Camp 5 detainees are reportedly allowed just one hour of outside
exercise per day, and receive food through a narrow slot in their
cell doors.

But they also have access to the Red Cross and defence lawyers.

Bush said the suspects were interrogated while in the secret CIA
prisons, and helped intelligence officials determine the
structure of al Qaeda, details about specific plots.

He said the interrogations were lawful but "tough," although he
didn't offer any exact details.

"These are dangerous men with unparalleled knowledge about
terrorist networks and their plans for new attacks," said Bush.
"The security of our nation and the lives of our citizens depend
on our ability to learn what these terrorists know."

Network calls miniseries 'a dramatization ... not a documentary'

Peter Stranks / ABC via AP
��������������Actor Harvey Keitel�is seen
playing�counterterrorism expert John O'Neill in "The Path to 9/11,"
the�ABC's five-hour miniseries about the events detailed in The 9/11
Commission Report and other sources.
����������������By By Howard Kurtz
Top officials of the Clinton administration have launched a preemptive
strike against an ABC-TV "docudrama," slated to air Sunday and Monday,
that they say includes made-up scenes depicting them as undermining
attempts to kill Osama bin Laden.
����������������Former secretary of
state Madeleine K. Albright called one scene involving her "false and
defamatory.
����������" Former national security adviser Samuel
R. "Sandy" Berger said the film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal
actions."
��������������And former White House aide
Bruce R. Lindsey, who now heads the William J. Clinton Foundation, said:
"It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the
most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known."
�More politics news
ABC's entertainment division said the six-hour movie, "The Path to
9/11," will say in a disclaimer that it is a "dramatization . . . not a
documentary" and contains "fictionalized scenes." But the disclaimer
also says the movie is based on the Sept. 11 commission's report,
although that report contradicts several key scenes.
����������������Berger said in an
interview that ABC is "certainly trying to create the impression that
this is realistic, but it's a fabrication."
����������Marc Platt, the film's executive producer,
said that although it "does contain composite and conflated scenes and
representative characters and dialogue, we've worked very hard to be
fair. If individuals feel they're wrongly portrayed, that's obviously of
concern. We've portrayed the essence of the truth of these events. Our
intention was not in any way to be political or present a point of
view."
������������������The former Clinton
aides voiced their objections in letters to Robert A. Iger, chief
executive of ABC's corporate parent, the Walt Disney Co., but the
network refused to make changes or to give them advance copies of the
movie. They were not interviewed by ABC; it hired as a co-executive
producer Thomas H. Kean, the Republican who chaired the Sept. 11
commission, but no Democratic members of the panel.
��������������"In an undertaking this
gargantuan," Platt said, "it's impossible to interview every single
person available, and we didn't believe we needed to." He said that
"maybe I'm naive" in thinking that hiring only Kean would not prompt
criticism of a political slant. Clinton's legacy
����������������The fierceness of the
debate reflects a recognition that a $40 million miniseries -- whose
cast includes Harvey Keitel, Patricia Heaton and Penny Johnson Jerald --
can damage Clinton's legacy in the anti-terrorism fight on the fifth
anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Among the scenes that the Clinton
team said are fictional: Berger is seen as refusing authorization for a
proposed raid to capture bin Laden in spring 1998 to CIA operatives in
Afghanistan who have the terrorist leader in their sights. A CIA
operative sends a message: "We're ready to load the package.
��������������Repeat, do we have clearance
to load the package?" Berger responds: "I don't have that authority."
��������Berger said that neither he nor Clinton ever
rejected a CIA or military request to conduct an operation against bin
Laden. � � � The Sept. 11 commission said no CIA operatives were
poised to attack; that Afghanistan's rebel Northern Alliance was not
involved, as the film says; and that then-CIA Director George J. Tenet
decided the plan would not work.
Tenet is depicted as challenging Albright for having alerted Pakistan in
advance of the August 1998 missile strike that unsuccessfully targeted
bin Laden.
����������"Madame Secretary," Tenet is seen saying,
"the Pakistani security service, the ISI, has close ties with the
Taliban." Albright is seen shouting: "We had to inform the Pakistanis.
There are regional factors involved." Tenet then complains that "we've
enhanced bin Laden's stature."

Commentary: 'Path to 9/11' tells a sad, riveting tale
Albright said she never warned Pakistan. The Sept. 11 commission found
that a senior U.S. military official warned Pakistan that missiles
crossing its airspace would not be from its archenemy, India. "The Path
to 9/11" uses news footage to suggest that Clinton was distracted by the
Republican drive to impeach him. Veteran White House counterterrorism
official Richard A. Clarke, who also disputes the film's accuracy, is
portrayed as telling FBI agent John P. O'Neill: "Republicans went all
out for impeachment. I just don't see the president in this climate
willing to take chances." O'Neill responds: "So it's okay if somebody
kills bin Laden, so long as he didn't give the order. . . . It's
pathetic." The Sept. 11 commission found no evidence that the Monica S.
Lewinsky scandal played a role in the August 1998 missile strike, but
added that the "intense partisanship of the period" was one factor that
"likely had a cumulative effect on future decisions about the use of
force against bin Laden." HOW 9/11 CHANGED USIn their own words - as
well as audio and photos - Americans tell, for better and for worse, how
the September 11 attacks transformed their lives.

issuesClinton allies have complained that advance copies were sent to a
number of conservative commentators, including Rush Limbaugh, but not to
liberals. Limbaugh, saying that the screenwriter, Cyrus Nowrasteh, is a
friend of his, told his radio audience that the film "indicts the
Clinton administration, Madeleine Albright, Sandy Berger. It is just
devastating to the Clinton administration. It talks about how we had
chances to capture bin Laden in specific detail." ABC said copies of the
film were sent to media organizations and commentators without regard to
ideology, and that Democrats and Republicans were invited to a screening
in Washington. At the screening, Richard Ben-Veniste, a Democratic
member of the Sept. 11 commission, assailed the film as inaccurate.
Letters of protest
Nowrasteh, who has described himself as a conservative, told Frontpage
magazine that the movie illustrates "the frequent opportunities the
administration had in the '90s to stop bin Laden in his tracks -- but
lacked the will to do so."
Nowrasteh drew criticism from Reagan administration officials for his
Showtime movie "The Day Reagan Was Shot." He told the Los Angeles Daily
News then that he "made a conscious effort not to contact any members of
the [Reagan] administration because I didn't want them to stymie my
efforts."
The assault on "The Path to 9/11" assumed the trappings of a campaign
yesterday. Four senior House Democrats -- John Conyers Jr., Jane Harman,
John D. Dingell and Louise M. Slaughter -- have written Iger to demand
that the inaccuracies be corrected. Spurred by the Center for American
Progress, which is headed by Clinton chief of staff John D. Podesta,
25,000 people have sent letters of protest to ABC. � 2006 The

Walker v. Members of Congress (05-35023 U.S. 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals) is now on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Address:http://cc2.org/

Under the authority of Article V of the U.S. Constitution, the
convention clause is peremptory, Congress must call a convention once
the requisite applications are received. The convention call is based on
a simple numeric count of state applications, arguments otherwise are
invalid based on the Constitution itself, and all founding documents
related to the matter.

Members of Congress are failing to carry out their constitutional
obligation and issue the call to the states and are currently in
violation of federal criminal law. Congress cannot veto the calling of a
national convention.

Please contact your representatives in�Congress and�let�them know
you expect them to follow the law as written in the U.S. Constitution,
and that they now go on record as being in favor of a national
convention or resign their office.

Excellent links in this information
The Office of Special Planning (OSP), a unit set up by the New York Port
Authority to assess the security of its facilities against terrorist
attacks (see Early 1984), spends four to six months studying the World
Trade Center. It examines the center's design through looking at
photographs, blueprints, and plans. It brings in experts such as the
builders of the center, plus experts in sabotage and explosives, and has
them walk through the WTC to identify any areas of vulnerability.
According to New York Times reporters James Glanz and Eric Lipton, when
Edward O'Sullivan, head of the OSP, looks at WTC security, he finds "one
vulnerability after another. Explosive charges could be placed at key
locations in the power system. Chemical or biological agents could be
dropped into the coolant system. The Hudson River water intake could be
blown up. Someone might even try to infiltrate the large and vulnerable
subterranean realms of the World Trade Center site." In particular,
"There was no control at all over access to the underground,
two-thousand-car parking garage." However, O'Sullivan consults "one of
the trade center's original structural engineers, Les Robertson, on
whether the towers would collapse because of a bomb or a collision with
a slow-moving airplane." He is told there is "little likelihood of a
collapse no matter how the building was attacked." [Glanz and Lipton,
2004, pp. 227; New York County Supreme Court, 1/20/2004] The OSP will
issue its report called "Counter-Terrorism Perspectives: The World Trade
Center" late in 1985 (see November 1985).

Between September 3, 2001 and September 7, 2001: WTC Structural Engineer
Says Trade Center Designed for 707 Crashing Into It
Leslie Robertson, one of the two original structural engineers for the
World Trade Center, is asked at a conference in Frankfurt, Germany what
he had done to protect the twin towers from terrorist attacks. He
replies, "I designed it for a 707 to smash into it," though does not
elaborate further. [Chicago Tribune, 9/12/2001; Knight Ridder,
9/12/2001] The twin towers were in fact the first structures outside the
military and nuclear industries designed to resist the impact of a jet
airplane. [Robertson, 3/2002; Federal Emergency Management Agency,
5/1/2002, pp. 1-17] The Boeing 707 was the largest in use when the
towers were designed. Robertson conducted a study to calculate the
effect of a 707 weighing 263,000 pounds and traveling at 180 mph
crashing into one of the towers. He concluded that the tower would
remain standing. However, no official report of his study has ever
surfaced publicly. [Glanz and Lipton, 2004, pp. 138-139] A previous
analysis, carried out early in 1964, calculated that the towers would
handle the impact of a 707 traveling at 600 mph without collapsing (see
February 27, 1993). In 2002, though, Robertson will write, "To the best
of our knowledge, little was known about the effects of a fire from such
an aircraft, and no designs were prepared for that circumstance."
[Robertson, 3/2002] The planes that hit the WTC on 9/11 are 767s, which
are almost 20 percent heavier than 707s. [Scientific American,
10/9/2001; New Yorker, 11/19/2001]
September 12, 2001-February 2002: Witnesses See Molten Metal in the
Remains at Ground Zero
In the weeks and months after 9/11, numerous individuals report seeing
molten metal in the remains of the World Trade Center: Ken Holden, who
is involved with the organizing of demolition, excavation and debris
removal operations at Ground Zero, later will tell the 9/11 Commission,
"Underground, it was still so hot that molten metal dripped down the
sides of the wall from Building 6. William Langewiesche, the only
journalist to have unrestricted access to Ground Zero during the cleanup
operation, describes, "in the early days, the streams of molten metal
that leaked from the hot cores and flowed down broken walls inside the
foundation hole." [Langewiesche, 2002, pp. 32]
[9/11 Commission, 4/1/2003] Leslie Robertson, the structural engineer
responsible for the design of the WTC, describes fires still burning and
molten steel still running 21 days after the attacks. [
But Dr. Frank Gayle, who leads the steel forensics aspects of NIST's
investigation of the WTC collapses, is quoted as saying, "Your gut
reaction would be the jet fuel is what made the fire so very intense, a
lot of people figured that's what melted the steel. Indeed it didn't,
the steel did not melt." [ABC News 7 (New York), 2/7/2004] As well as
the reports of molten metal, data collected by NASA in the days after
9/11 finds dozens of "hot spots" (some over 1300 degrees) at Ground Zero
(see September 16-23, 2001).
Alison Geyh, who heads a team of scientists studying the potential
health effects of 9/11, reports, "Fires are still actively burning and
the smoke is very intense. In some pockets now being uncovered, they are
finding molten steel." [Johns Hopkins Public Health Magazi
Ron Burger, a public health advisor who arrives at Ground Zero on
September 12, says that "feeling the heat" and "seeing the molten steel"
there reminds him of a volcano.
New York firefighters recall "heat so intense they encountered rivers of
molten steel." [New York Post, 3/3/2004]
As late as five months after the attacks, in February 2002, firefighter
Joe O'Toole sees a steel beam being lifted from deep underground at
Ground Zero, which, he says, "was dripping from the molten steel."
[Knight Ridder, 5/29/2002] Steven E. Jones, a physics professor from
Utah, later will claim this molten metal is "direct evidence for the use
of high-temperature explosives, such as thermite," used to deliberately
bring down the WTC towers. [MSNBC, 11/16/2005] He will say that without
explosives, a falling building would have "insufficient directed energy
to result in melting of large quantities of metal." [Deseret Morning
News,
There is no mention whatsoever of the molten metal in the official
reports by FEMA, NIST, or the 9/11 Commission. [Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 5/1/2002; 9/11 Commission, But Dr. Frank Gayle, who
leads the steel forensics aspects of NIST's investigation of the WTC
collapses, is quoted as saying, "Your gut reaction would be the jet fuel

THE WTC WAS DESIGNED TO SURVIVE THE IMPACT OF A BOEING 767, SO WHY
DIDN'T IT?
by MAD MAX Saturday, Jul. 19, 2003 at 11:37 AM Fact. The twin towers
were designed to withstand a collision with a Boeing
707.
http://hawaii.indymedia.org/news/2003/07/3257_comment.php
In the early 1970's the World Trade Center's chief structural engineer,
Leslie Robertson, calculated the effect of the impact of a Boeing 707
with the World Trade Center towers. His results were reported in the New
York Times where it was claimed that Robertson's study proved the towers
would withstand the impact of a Boeing 707 moving at 600 miles an hour.
Little did he know that decades later two aircraft, almost identical to
the Boeing 707, would impact the towers.
Other engineers are on public record as saying that the World Trade
Center would even survive an impact of the larger and faster Boeing 747.
The maximum takeoff weight for a Boeing 707-320B is 336,000 pounds. The
maximum takeoff weight for a Boeing 767-200ER is 395,000 pounds.
The wingspan of a Boeing 707 is 146 feet. The wingspan of a Boeing 767
is 156 feet.
The length of a Boeing 707 is 153 feet.
The length of a Boeing 767 is 159 feet.
The Boeing 707 could carry 23,000 gallons of fuel. The Boeing 767 could
carry 23,980 gallons of fuel.
However, the actual aircraft involved in the World Trade Center impacts
were only flying from Boston to Los Angeles, and consequently, would
have been nowhere near fully fueled on takeoff (the Boeing 767 has a
maximum range of 7,600 miles (12,220 km)). The aircraft would have
carried just enough fuel for the trip together with some safety factor.
Remember, that carrying excess fuel means higher fuel bills and less
paying passengers. The aircraft would have also burnt some fuel between
Boston and New York.
Government sources estimate that each of the Boeing 767's had
approximately 10,000 gallons of unused fuel on board at the times of
impact.
To give you some idea how much jet fuel this is, an 11 foot by 11 foot
by 11 foot tank contains 10,000 gallons (1 US gallon = 0.13368 cubic
feet). So a novel way of destroying high-rise buildings is to load an 11
foot by 11 foot by 11 foot glass tank of jet fuel into a Ryder truck,
drive it into the ground floor lobby, break the glass, set light to the
fuel and walk away, the high-rise should collapse in about an hour
(after all, 12,000 gallons of diesel was all it took to bring down WTC
7). Look mom, no explosives needed.
Since, the Boeing 767 is much more fuel-efficient than the 707, a Boeing
707 traveling the same route would carry significantly more fuel and
would therefore be a much greater danger from the perspective of a jet
fuel fire.
Thus the quantity of fuel that burnt on September 11 would have been
envisaged by those who designed the towers. In fact, the towers were
designed to survive much more serious fires than those of September 11.
Over the years, a number of other high-rise buildings have suffered
significantly more serious fires, but none have collapsed (not one).
Before September 11, no steel framed skyscraper had ever collapsed due
to fire. However, on September 11, it is claimed that three steel framed
skyscrapers collapsed mainly, or totally, due to fire.
See this article for proof that the jet fuel fires can be ruled out as
the cause of the World Trade Center collapses.
The cruise speed of a Boeing 707 is 607 mph = 890 ft/s, The cruise speed
of a Boeing 767 is 530 mph = 777 ft/s.
So, the Boeing 707 and 767 are very similar aircraft, with the main
differences being that the 767 is slightly heavier and more
fuel-efficient, and the 707 is faster.
The thrust to weight ratio for a Boeing 707 is 4 x 18,000/336,000 =
0.214286.
The thrust to weight ratio for a Boeing 767 is 2 x 31,500/395,000 =
0.159494.
Since the Boeing 707 had a higher thrust to weight ratio, it would be
traveling faster on take-off and on landing.
And, since the Boeing 707 would have started from a faster cruise speed,
it would be traveling faster in a dive. So in all the likely variations
of an accidental impact with the WTC, the Boeing 707 would be traveling
faster. In terms of impact damage, this higher speed would more than
compensate for the slightly lower weight of the Boeing 707.
To illustrate this point we calculate the energy that the planes would
impart to the towers in any accidental collision at their cruise speed.
The kinetic energy released by the impact of a Boeing 707 at cruise
speed is
= 0.5 x 336,000 x (890)2/32.174
= 4.136 billion ft lbs force (5,607,720 Kilojoules).
The kinetic energy released by the impact of a Boeing 767 at cruise
speed is
= 0.5 x 395,000 x (777)2/32.174
= 3.706 billion ft lbs force (5,024,650 Kilojoules).
From this, we see that at cruise speed, a Boeing 707 would smash into
the WTC with about 10 percent more energy than would the slightly
heavier Boeing
767. That is, under normal flying conditions, a Boeing 707 would do more
damage than a Boeing 767.
In conclusion we can say that if the towers were designed to survive the
impact of a Boeing 707, then they were necessarily designed to survive
the impact of a Boeing 767.
So what can be said about the actual impacts?
The speed of impact of AA Flight 11 has been estimated to be 470 mph =
689 ft/s.
The speed of impact of UA Flight 175 has been estimated to be 590 mph =
865 ft/s.
The kinetic energy released by the impact of AA Flight 11 was
= 0.5 x 395,000 x (689)2/32.174
= 2.914 billion ft lbs force (3,950,950 Kilojoules).
This is well within limits that the towers were built to survive. So why
did the North tower fall?
The kinetic energy released by the impact of UA Flight 175 was
= 0.5 x 395,000 x (865)2/32.174
= 4.593 billion ft lbs force (6,227,270 Kilojoules).
This is within 10 percent of the energy released by the impact of a
Boeing 707 at cruise speed. So, it is also a surprise that the 767
impact caused the South tower to fall.
Note that the speed of a projectile determines whether the impact damage
is localized or spread across a large area. The faster the projectile,
the more localized the damage. Common examples illustrating this effect
are, the driving of a nail through a piece of wood, and the firing a
bullet through a fencepost. Both are done at speed and thus do only
local damage. In both of these examples, the wood just a centimeter or
two from the impact point, is essentially undamaged. Similarly, the
aircraft impacts were at great speed and the damage localized. This
effect is
illustrated in the above graphic from the simulation of the crash of a
Boeing 747 (maximum takeoff weight 875,000 lb, unloaded weight 670,200
lb, fuel capacity 57,285 gallons) with a steel framed building.
We are told that the "hijackers" wanted to cause maximum death and
destruction, then why didn't they hijack Boeing 747s? Boeing 747s weigh
more than twice as much, they can carry more than twice the fuel and
travel faster than the Boeing 767. Consequently, Boeing 747s would have
caused much more death and destruction than the 767s.
Also, why did the hijackers choose to hijack aircraft leaving Boston,
when they could have just as easily hijacked aircraft from one of the
New York city airports (LaGuardia, Newark or JFK). Hijacking aircraft
from Boston, meant that they had to deviate from their designated
routes, while still a long way from Manhattan. Of course, as is usual,
all sorts of alarm bells would be set off as soon as the aircraft
deviated substantially from their prescribed routes. Not only that, the
US Air Force specialist quick response unit, the Air National Guard,
would almost certainly intercept them before they reached their target
(and would have assuredly shoot down the second 767, after seeing what
happened to the first).
It is often claimed that the WTC was designed only to withstand the
collision of a Boeing 707 that was seeking to land at one of the nearby
airports, and that since such aircraft would be low on fuel, only small
jet fuel fires were envisaged. However, this is an obvious lie. Why is
it an obvious lie? Well, because if you take into consideration planes
that are landing at an airport, then you must consider planes that are
taking off, and such planes are potentially fully laden with fuel.
Since the WTC towers were designed to handle extreme wind loading (140
mph hurricane force winds) they would survive the impact of a Boeing 707
(even one that was traveling at full speed) without adding any extra
features to the design (above those already necessary to handle the wind
loading). All that the designers would have to consider, is effect of a
jet fuel fire from a fully fueled jet that crashed into one of the
towers shortly after taking off from one of the local airports.
Overall, it comes as a great surprise that the impact of a Boeing 767
bought down either tower. Indeed, many experts are on record as saying
that the towers would survive the impact of the much larger and faster
Boeing 747. In this regard, see professor Astaneh-Asl's simulation of
the crash of the much, much larger and heavier Boeing 747 with the World
Trade Center. Professor Astaneh-Asl teaches at the University of
California, Berkeley.

Smoking Gun: Bush STOLE Election 2004

Posted by: "Joanne Murphy" mailto:jgmurphyj@yahoo.com?Subject=Re: jgmurphyj

Thu Sep 7, 2006 2:02 pm (PST)

http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/

Sept. 7, 2006 -- "Smoking gun" evidence uncovered in Ohio of massive vote fraud in 2004 election.
After the November 2004 presidential election, this editor reported on massive vote fraud, particularly in Ohio. The relevant articles are found here, here, here, and here. Sources within the U.S. Intelligence Community provided information on the financing -- via foreign funding sources, covert intelligence networks, and illegal pseudo-banking routes -- of programmers, election officials, and others to ensure that Bush and Cheney captured Ohio's critical 20 electoral votes.
Pursuant to a federal law that permits the destruction of ballots, including absentee ballots, 22 months after a federal election, ballots from the 2004 Ohio election were scheduled to be destroyed on Sept. 2, but the intervention of Columbus-based attorney Cliff Arnebeck and the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights with the U.S. Court in Columbus resulted in a protective order being issued for ballots and voting records in all 88 Ohio counties. This decision upset the corrupt Ohio Republican Party and its gubernatorial standard bearer Kenneth Blackwell, the Secretary of State who helped engineer the 2004 electoral vote fraud coup in his state, who wanted to begin the document shredding process in Sept. 2.
Not only can the ballots and voting records now be used in a major civil rights case against Blackwell, in which he is accused of "inequitably distributing voting resources, suppressing votes, and spoiling ballots" in the 2004 election, but may also serve as major evidence in impeachment hearings against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney when Michigan Rep. John Conyers becomes the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, if the Democrats, as expected, win control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Blackwell still clings to the fast-eroding stance that the 2004 Ohio vote was legitimate.
The reason the Ohio GOP was anxious to destroy the ballots and records is that they are rife with prima facie evidence of massive vote fraud. Dr. Richard Hayes Phillips, a researcher who uncovered the evidence of vote fraud, submitted an affidavit to the U.S. federal court in Columbus outlining details of the vote fraud. Along with the affidavit, Phillips provided evidence of vote fraud, including "documentation of ballot tampering in . . . eleven counties." The most startling evidence of ballot tampering is a punch card ballot that show tape affixed over votes for Kerry/Edwards. Other "stickered ballots" were apparently destroyed during an FBI investigation. The affidavit states:
"In Clermont County, eleven weeks of negotiations with the County Prosecutor�s office were required in order to gain access to the public records, and even then we were actively discouraged from completing our tasks in an expeditious manner. On each scheduled visit we were denied access to certain records and told to return another day. In the aftermath of the recount of December 2004, sworn affidavits were signed by three witnesses stating that they observed, on some ballots, white oval stickers over the Kerry-Edwards mark, and the Bush-Cheney oval filled in. The County Prosecutor�s office confirmed this in writing, stated further that there were fewer than 100 such ballots countywide (out of 89,822 ballots cast), and claimed that there had been an FBI investigation into the matter upon the request of Congressman John Conyers, but that the FBI report could not be located.
In Clermont County, in the first 4 precincts that we photographed, with 3589 ballots cast, we saw not one stickered ballot. Board of Elections personnel have confirmed that these 4 precincts were among the 97% of the ballots that were recounted by machine in December 2004, and that the observers who reported seeing stickered ballots were observing the 3% of the ballots that were hand-counted. The Board of Elections provided a statement, in writing, that 14 precincts were chosen for the hand count because they were the smallest in the county, with only 2696 ballots cast among them. Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell�s directive at that time required that the hand-counted precincts be chosen at random. We have now photographed ballots from 20 precincts, including the 14 hand-counted precincts, and have seen only one stickered presidential ballot, in Pierce Township H. [ See EXHIBIT C and EXHIBIT D ] In this case, there is a white oval sticker over the
Kerry-Edwards mark, and the Bush-Cheney oval is filled in with a distinctively different pencil than was used on the rest of the ballot. Also in Pierce Township H we have digital photographs of 6 ballots rubber-stamped with the word �DUPLICATE.� The Board of Elections has been unable to provide the original ballots or the stickered ballots from which these are said to have been duplicated, and thus the validity of the duplicate ballots remains unverified."

Tampered ballot from Ohio: Smoking gun evidence of massive vote fraud in 2004 election.
According to the affidavit, in Delaware County, Ohio, an armed, uniformed security policeman working for an entity called Global Security Services (GSS), LLC, headquartered in Severna Park, Maryland, interfered with the team of researchers who attempted to examine punch card ballots. GSS's web site says the firm is composed of "former career U.S. Secret Service and FBI Agents, Customs Agents, CIA intelligence and operations specialists, Special Operations personnel, U.S. Marshals, former state and local law enforcement and emergency services professionals." And in a revelation that supports this author's original findings that the 2004 vote fraud had significant foreign and U.S. intelligence links, including off-shore banking connections, the GSS web site states the company has "a carefully developed a network of 11 affiliated offices in the United States and an additional 43 offices throughout Europe, Russia, the former Soviet Union and the Western Hemisphere.
The network of affiliates and contacts also include a presence in the 'off-shore safe havens' found in the Caribbean, Europe, South America, Asia and the South Pacific." This author's November and December 2004 articles stated that the money for the throwing of the 2004 election was tied to accounts in the Isle of Man, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands (South Pacific), Nevis (Caribbean), and the Bahamas.
Evidence of the use of pre-programmed software to affect the election outcome was also discovered in Delaware County. Election officials said they allowed a "mentally retarded man" to corrupt the punch card ballots in record speed before they were run through vote tabulation machines. According to the affidavit:
"The chain of custody on November 2, 2004 could have allowed for ballot tampering in Delaware County. According to Board of Elections personnel, whichever party wins the precinct in the gubernatorial election gets to choose the precinct judge for the next four years. The precinct judges, unaccompanied, bring the ballots to the Board of Elections after the polls close on Election Night. In Delaware County, almost all of these would be Republicans, as Bob Taft, the Republican, carried Delaware County with 71.9% of the vote to 23.5% for Timothy Hagan, the Democrat, winning 121 of 123 precincts. On November 2, 2004, the ballots were driven to an underground parking area, where they were unloaded by teams of teenaged volunteers, including Boy Scouts, and carried into the Board of Elections building where, again according to Board of Elections personnel, a �mentally retarded man� scraped the chads from the ballots before they were run through the tabulator. For the
record, even now, 20 months after the election, we are not allowed to touch the ballots in Delaware County. They must be handled by county employees, one Republican, one Democrat. Moreover, there were 79,691 ballots cast on Election Day and, according to the minutes of the Board of Elections, the unofficial results were certified at 12:40 AM, only 5 hours and 10 minutes after the polls closed. The �mentally retarded man� would have had to examine, and clean as needed, four or five ballots per second, which calls the whole story into question."
George W. Bush is on the speaking circuit this week, bragging about America's "democracy" and why "terrorists" hate us. Bush, who stole two presidential elections, has no ground to stand on. Mexico's actual President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who saw his election stolen with interference from the same covert elements who engineered the 2004 election fiasco in America, has every reason to resist the illegal swearing in of neo-con Felipe Calderon, a tool of the global banking class and neo-con manipulators.

/�This movie is phenomenal!" - Air America�s Randi Rhodes
/

* 9/11: Press For Truth* is a powerful new documentary that
chronicles the battle for truth and accountability waged by the
families of 9/11 victims against the deception and stonewalling
of the Bush administration. The film will premiere on Thursday,
September 7, 2006, at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater at 155 East
Third Street in New York City, with additional screenings in
major cities across the country including Los Angeles, Oakland,
Chicago, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne,
Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Culver City, and St.
Paul.

A story of the fight for truth by those closest to the tragedy,
and a scathing critique of the mainstream media, which refuses to
connect the dots, *9/11: Press For Truth* distinguishes itself
from a crowded field of documentaries offering conspiracy
narratives and mind-numbing replays of the catastrophic images of
the day. Directed by Ray Nowosielski, *9/11: Press For Truth* is
an unblinking examination of the failure of the 9/11 Commission
and the press to adequately address many troubling questions that
still haunt the families, five years after that tragic day.
*9/11: Press For Truth* features exclusive interviews with the
families of 9/11 victims, including the �Jersey Girls�
and 9/11 researcher Paul Thompson, author of �The Terror
Timeline", which pieces together stories from over 7000 media
reports about 9/11. In the film, Thompson fills in the gaps of
mainstream media coverage, presenting little-known published
reports that, woven together, put the lie to the �official
story� of 9/11.
ADVERTISEMENT

Polls now show that a majority of Americans support a new
investigation. �Once again,� says producer Kyle Hence,
�the 9/11 families will play a crucial role in galvanizing
the public�s will to confront a combative administration, a
pliant Congress and an apathetic media corps that has studiously
avoided dealing with countervailing facts, inconvenient evidence
and excessive secrecy. The message these families bring must be
heard, loud and clear. They deserve answers.�

A lobbying campaign calling for a new investigation will be
launched on September 5th, the day of DVD release, and continue
into the week of September 11th, during which every member of
Congress will receive a copy of the documentary.

molten steel at the WTC -- the implications are inescapable

Posted by: "Dick Eastman" mailto:olfriend@nwinfo.net?Subject=Re: oldickeastman

Thu Sep 7, 2006 2:48 pm (PST)

The book American Ground, which contains detailed descriptions of conditions at Ground Zero, contains this passage:

... or, in the early days, the streams of molten metal that leaked from the hot cores and flowed down broken walls inside the foundation hole. 10

Again, you are being intentionally vague:

A) It appears that the aluminum of the aircraft melted in the entirely normal temperatures of an ordinary fire accelerated by jet fuel, burning at around 1800 degrees F.

B) As to any molten metal AFTER the collapse, we still have not seen ANY evidence that there EVER WAS ANY molten metal AFTER the collapse.

reply:

I have no investment in the thermate theory.

I have been told that there are accounts of molten steel. You yourself provide the quotation of the fireman who saw the red glow of the mass and turned a fire hose on it resulting in a lot of steam.

If these accounts are true then it is all over -- kerosene did not bring down the WTC.

The fireman is one credible source.

We have the photo of red hot metal being lifted by crane from North Tower rubble.
http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7_files/image004.jpg

We have the photo of the waterfall of molten metal spilling from one and only one location
http://www.rumormillnews.com/pix3/pic87929.jpg
-- too much and too concentrated a stream to have been the aluminum from a plane that was smashed to smithereens so that aluminum would be all over the place and not concentrated in one river -- no, this is from a single source, from one location -- from one thermate or other high-temperature steel-melting device

There are several published observations of molten metal in the basements of all three buildings,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3D2myMbQjQ

There is American Free Press reporter Christopher Bollyn citing witnesses from two of the companies contracted to clean up Ground Zero. "The president of Tully Construction of Flushing, NY, said he saw pools of "literally molten steel" at Ground Zero. Bollyn also cites Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, MD, as having seen molten steel in the bottoms of elevator shafts "three, four, and five weeks" after the attack. "

A report by Waste Age describes New York Sanitation Department workers moving "everything from molten steel beams to human remains." 2

A report on the Government Computer News website quotes Greg Fuchek, vice president of sales for LinksPoint Inc. as stating:

In the first few weeks, sometimes when a worker would pull a steel beam from the wreckage, the end of the beam would be dripping molten steel 3

Bronx firefighter "Toolie" O'Toole, who stated that some of the beams lifted from deep within the catacombs of Ground Zero by cranes were "dripping from the molten steel." 4

A transcription of an audio interview of Ground Zero chaplain Herb Trimpe contains the following passage:

When I was there, of course, the remnants of the towers were still standing. It looked like an enormous junkyard. A scrap metal yard, very similar to that. Except this was still burning. There was still fire. On the cold days, even in January, there was a noticeable difference between the temperature in the middle of the site than there was when you walked two blocks over on Broadway. You could actually feel the heat.

It took me a long time to realize it and I found myself actually one day wanting to get back. Why? Because I felt more comfortable. I realized it was actually warmer on site. The fires burned, up to 2,000 degrees, underground for quite a while before they actually got down to those areas and they cooled off.

I talked to many contractors and they said they actually saw molten metal trapped, beams had just totally had been melted because of the heat. So this was the kind of heat that was going on when those airplanes hit the upper floors. It was just demolishing heat. 5

A report in the Johns Hopkins Public Health Magazine about recovery work in late October quotes Alison Geyh, Ph.D., as stating:

Fires are still actively burning and the smoke is very intense. In some pockets now being uncovered, they are finding molten steel. 6

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/moltensteel.html

http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/cutter_charges_brought_down_wt.html

So Jon, you are simply wrong when you say "we still have not seen ANY evidence that there EVER WAS ANY molten metal AFTER the collapse" -- and I don't think it is an honest mistake on your part.

You are engaged in obstructring justice in a mass-murder case. Don't compound your guilt be continuing to serve the perpetrators.

PNAC Document from 1998

http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm

January 26, 1998
The Honorable William J. Clinton
President of the United States
Washington, DC
Dear Mr. President:
We are writing you because we are convinced that current American policy toward Iraq is not succeeding, and that we may soon face a threat in the Middle East more serious than any we have known since the end of the Cold War. In your upcoming State of the Union Address, you have an opportunity to chart a clear and determined course for meeting this threat. We urge you to seize that opportunity, and to enunciate a new strategy that would secure the interests of the U.S. and our friends and allies around the world. That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein�s regime from power. We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor.
The policy of �containment� of Saddam Hussein has been steadily eroding over the past several months. As recent events have demonstrated, we can no longer depend on our partners in the Gulf War coalition to continue to uphold the sanctions or to punish Saddam when he blocks or evades UN inspections. Our ability to ensure that Saddam Hussein is not producing weapons of mass destruction, therefore, has substantially diminished. Even if full inspections were eventually to resume, which now seems highly unlikely, experience has shown that it is difficult if not impossible to monitor Iraq�s chemical and biological weapons production. The lengthy period during which the inspectors will have been unable to enter many Iraqi facilities has made it even less likely that they will be able to uncover all of Saddam�s secrets. As a result, in
the not-too-distant future we will be unable to determine with any reasonable level of confidence whether Iraq does or does not possess such weapons.
Such uncertainty will, by itself, have a seriously destabilizing effect on the entire Middle East. It hardly needs to be added that if Saddam does acquire the capability to deliver weapons of mass destruction, as he is almost certain to do if we continue along the present course, the safety of American troops in the region, of our friends and allies like Israel and the moderate Arab states, and a significant portion of the world�s supply of oil will all be put at hazard. As you have rightly declared, Mr. President, the security of the world in the first part of the 21st century will be determined largely by how we handle this threat.
Given the magnitude of the threat, the current policy, which depends for its success upon the steadfastness of our coalition partners and upon the cooperation of Saddam Hussein, is dangerously inadequate. The only acceptable strategy is one that eliminates the possibility that Iraq will be able to use or threaten to use weapons of mass destruction. In the near term, this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing. In the long term, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from power. That now needs to become the aim of American foreign policy.
We urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your Administration's attention to implementing a strategy for removing Saddam's regime from power. This will require a full complement of diplomatic, political and military efforts. Although we are fully aware of the dangers and difficulties in implementing this policy, we believe the dangers of failing to do so are far greater. We believe the U.S. has the authority under existing UN resolutions to take the necessary steps, including military steps, to protect our vital interests in the Gulf. In any case, American policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the UN Security Council.
We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk.
Sincerely,

***1/2 9/11: THE PRESS FOR TRUTH
Documentary by Ray Nowosielski

By Jay Carr
The anti-Bush backlash will be stoked by "9/11:
The Press for
Truth." Ray Nowosielski's documentary tranchantly
makes the point that
the Bush regime has a lot to answer for, starting with
why it didn't
take seriously the many pre-9/11 warnings of an
imminent terrorist
attack involving aircraft. It adds that the 9/11
Commission
investigation was stonewalled by
the administration, that it wasn't until public
pressure generated by
the 9/11 widows nicknamed The Jersey Girls that
administration officials
grudgingly testified, and then minimally, with Bush
and Dick Cheney
agreeing to do so only behind closed doors and not
under oath.

Was there a cover-up? The film asks, riding the
book "The Terror
Timeline" by Paul Thompson, who shames most other
so-called journalism
by digging into available material and asking pointed
questions. One of
the most explosive has to do with the assertion that
the money for the
9/11 hijackers was funnelled through the head of
Pakistani intelligence,
and that
this was covered up, as was Osama bin Laden's escape
into Pakistan when
Tora Bora was surrounded on only three sides and an
air corridor to
Pakistan was left open. It's hard to dispute the
film's conclusion that
without candor, without answers, without
accountability, our
understanding of 9/11 remains frustratingly
incomplete, whether by
administration design or not.

may or may
not give Ann Coulter a headache, but /9/11: Press for
Truth/ will give
her a fucking migraine. Ray Nowosielski's film begins
as a portrait of
the Jersey Girls, a group of four 9/11
widows---Kristen Breitweiser,
Patty Casazza, Lorie Van Auken, and Mindy
Kleinberg---instrumental in
drumming up support from both sides of the political
aisle for what
would eventually become the 9/11 Commission. Despite
Coulter's vulgar
accusations that these bipartisan women enjoyed the
deaths of their
husbands, it's clear that that the only satisfaction
these obviously
pained women seek is an acknowledgement of blame from
our government for
insufficiently acting on its pre-9/11 intelligence.
With the help of
Paul Thompson, author of the comprehensive /The Terror
Timeline/, and an
arsenal of media footage at his disposal, Nowosielski
catalogs
frustration after frustration, effortlessly
illuminating that 9/11 was
more than just a "failure of imagination." But the
title of the film
refers not only to the Jersey Girls' vigilant demand
for truth but to
the media's own refusal to push for truth after 9/11
for fear of
retribution from higher powers. This is where the film
reveals its
complexity, except Nowosielski makes the mistake of
indulging trite
scare-mongering tactics, from his use of scary-movie
music on the
soundtrack to frequent cutaways to a CGI wall of
television sets
ostensibly meant to evoke the media's Orwellian
control of our
(dis)information. These lapses make a smart
documentary appear awfully
unbecoming.

Senate Democratic leadership threatens Disney with legal and legislative sanctions
by John in DC - 9/07/2006 06:02:00 PM

This letter was sent today by the entire Democratic leadership of the US Senate. This letter is such a major shot across the bow of Disney, it's not even funny. It is FILLED with veiled threats, both legal and legislative, against Disney. US Senators don't make threats like this, especially the entire Democratic leadership en masse, unless they mean it. Disney is in serious trouble.

Read it, then read my analysis of it below:September 7, 2006

Mr. Robert A. Iger
President and CEO
The Walt Disney Company
500 South Buena Vista Street
Burbank CA 91521

Dear Mr. Iger,

We write with serious concerns about the planned upcoming broadcast of The Path to 9/11 mini-series on September 10 and 11. Countless reports from experts on 9/11 who have viewed the program indicate numerous and serious inaccuracies that will undoubtedly serve to misinform the American people about the tragic events surrounding the terrible attacks of that day. Furthermore, the manner in which this program has been developed, funded, and advertised suggests a partisan bent unbecoming of a major company like Disney and a major and well respected news organization like ABC. We therefore urge you to cancel this broadcast to cease Disney�s plans to use it as a teaching tool in schools across America through Scholastic. Presenting such deeply flawed and factually inaccurate misinformation to the American public and to children would be a gross miscarriage of your corporate and civic responsibility to the law, to your shareholders, and to the nation.

The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more apparent than in the duty of broadcasters to serve the civic needs of a democracy by promoting an open and accurate discussion of political ideas and events.

Disney and ABC claim this program to be based on the 9/11 Commission Report and are using that assertion as part of the promotional campaign for it. The 9/11 Commission is the most respected American authority on the 9/11 attacks, and association with it carries a special responsibility. Indeed, the very events themselves on 9/11, so tragic as they were, demand extreme care by any who attempt to use those events as part of an entertainment or educational program. To quote Steve McPhereson, president of ABC Entertainment, �When you take on the responsibility of telling the story behind such an important event, it is absolutely critical that you get it right.�

Unfortunately, it appears Disney and ABC got it totally wrong.

Despite claims by your network�s representatives that The Path to 9/11 is based on the report of the 9/11 Commission, 9/11 Commissioners themselves, as well as other experts on the issues, disagree.

Richard Ben-Veniste, speaking for himself and fellow 9/11 Commissioners who recently viewed the program, said, �As we were watching, we were trying to think how they could have misinterpreted the 9/11 Commission�s findings the way that they had.� [�9/11 Miniseries Is Criticized as Inaccurate and Biased,� New York Times, September 6, 2006]

Richard Clarke, the former counter-terrorism czar, and a national security advisor to ABC has described the program as �deeply flawed� and said of the program�s depiction of a Clinton official hanging up on an intelligence agent, �It�s 180 degrees from what happened.� [�9/11 Miniseries Is Criticized as Inaccurate and Biased,� New York Times, September 6, 2006]

Reports suggest that an FBI agent who worked on 9/11 and served as a consultant to ABC on this program quit halfway through because, �he thought they were making things up.� [MSNBC, September 7, 2006]

Even Thomas Kean, who serves as a paid consultant to the miniseries, has admitted that scenes in the film are fictionalized. [�9/11 Miniseries Is Criticized as Inaccurate and Biased,� New York Times, September 6, 2006]

That Disney would seek to broadcast an admittedly and proven false recounting of the events of 9/11 raises serious questions about the motivations of its creators and those who approved the deeply flawed program. Finally, that Disney plans to air commercial-free a program that reportedly cost it $40 million to produce serves to add fuel to these concerns.

These concerns are made all the more pressing by the political leaning of and the public statements made by the writer/producer of this miniseries, Mr. Cyrus Nowrasteh, in promoting this miniseries across conservative blogs and talk shows.

Frankly, that ABC and Disney would consider airing a program that could be construed as right-wing political propaganda on such a grave and important event involving the security of our nation is a discredit both to the Disney brand and to the legacy of honesty built at ABC by honorable individuals from David Brinkley to Peter Jennings. Furthermore, that Disney would seek to use Scholastic to promote this misguided programming to American children as a substitute for factual information is a disgrace.

As 9/11 Commission member Jamie Gorelick said, �It is critically important to the safety of our nation that our citizens, and particularly our school children, understand what actually happened and why � so that we can proceed from a common understanding of what went wrong and act with unity to make our country safer.�

Should Disney allow this programming to proceed as planned, the factual record, millions of viewers, countless schoolchildren, and the reputation of Disney as a corporation worthy of the trust of the American people and the United States Congress will be deeply damaged. We urge you, after full consideration of the facts, to uphold your responsibilities as a respected member of American society and as a beneficiary of the free use of the public airwaves to cancel this factually inaccurate and deeply misguided program. We look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Sincerely,

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid
Assistant Democratic Leader Dick Durbin
Senator Debbie Stabenow
Senator Charles Schumer
Senator Byron DorganThe Senate Democratic leadership just threatened Disney's broadcast license. Not the use of the word "trustee" at the beginning of the letter and "trust" at the end. This is nothing less than an implicit threat that if Disney tries to meddle in the US elections on behalf of the Republicans, they will pay a very serious price when the Democrats get back in power, or even before.

This raises the stakes incredibly for Disney.
