Re: In the circumstances, I accept that what was shown on the TV, videos and pictures was a genuine collision between an aircraft and the WTC, certainly as far as the South Tower was concerned. Again, you overlook the many glitches video experts have dug up in their frame-by-frame analysis... Just ask any teenage kid who's familiar with Photoshop and Macromedia Director --ask him how he'll proceed to forge the WTC bombing into an "airliner crash". Mixing the footage of the (flying) airliner with the footage of the NYC skyline is easy... but things turn nasty as you get closer and closer to the impact wall: you just can't superimpose the airliner on the tower's wall and get a full-scale blast just as the tip of the airliner's nose hit the wall!!! So, you have to clean all the frames showing the first two seconds of the blast itself --so that the "brunt" of the blast occurs when half of the airliner's body is already inside the tower... That video cleansing/doctoring is actually a pernickety job because you can't just scratch the fumes and the flames out --you must replace them with the proper background (the tower's wall). Now it's obvious that US intelligence fixers were in a hurry and botched the whole thing... That's why there's a residual flash on the impact frame: as I said, the blast was duly scratched out from the "pre-impact" frames so as to synchronize the brunt of it with the airliner's thrust into the tower... yet, not ALL the flash was removed/erased --hence the (ludicrous) theory that the airliner fired a missile just before it hit the tower!!! Re: In fact, I saw it with my own eyes on CNN as it happened --- but you would then say that CNN had the "doctored" video ready for the event. Sure, I too saw it on CNN, but did we watch it live or delayed? Clue: The second apology will lay to rest international speculation that pop star Justin Timberlake accidentally ripped off Jackson's bustier at the end of the show. It is unlikely that Jackson's apology will end the investigation undertaken into the incident by the US Federal Communications Commission which is headed by Secretary of State Colin Powell's son, Michael. Eighty nine million people saw the Super Bowl, and 'Nipplegate,' as it has been described, has replaced 9/11 as the most requested search on the Internet. Michael Powell told the programme Good Morning America that he was unhappy with other elements on the half-time show as well, not just the Janet-Justin ruckus. He said he was upset with some of the things Kid Rock and Nelly did during the half-time show, a ritual during the Super Bowl. The incident has led CBS to re-introduce the five second delayed broadcast for its telecast of the Grammy Awards this Sunday. Excerpted from: rediff.com

Re: On the other hand, I have not heard or read of any evidence for increased radioactivity in the area after the event. So, again, you do not know about nuclear explosions as a fact. Why don't you ask the Swedes? Clue: Chernobyl was a secret disaster at first. The initial evidence that a major nuclear accident had occurred came not from Soviet sources, but from Sweden, where on April 27 workers at a nuclear power plant were found to have radioactive particles on their clothes. It was Sweden's search for the source of radioactivity, after they had determined there was no leak at the Swedish plant, that led to the first hint of a nuclear problem in the Soviet Union. disinfopedia.org

Told you so --Oil's got nothing to do with it.... [Judeo]con ideology, not Big Oil, pushed for war By Jim Lobe WASHINGTON - Why did the administration of President George W Bush push to invade Iraq? Most left-wing critics --epitomized perhaps by Michael Moore's blockbuster documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11-- have rather reflexively argued that the economic factor, particularly the interests of Big Oil, or "the ruling class", must have been decisive. But many right-wing critics, who know the ruling class from the inside, lean to a different explanation, in part by pointing out that Big Oil, to the extent it took any position at all on the war, opposed it. As evidence, they cite the unusually public opposition to a unilateral invasion voiced quite publicly by such eminent oil and ruling-class-related influentials as former president George H W Bush's national security adviser Brent Scowcroft and secretary of state James Baker. While they do not deny that some economic interests --construction giants, such as Halliburton and Bechtel, and high-tech arms companies-- may have given the push to war some momentum, the decisive factor in their view was ideological, and the ideology, "[Judeo-]conservative". Powered by both Jewish and non-Jewish [Judeo-]conservatives centered in the offices of Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney and by White House deference to the solidly pro-Zionist Christian Right, the [Judeo-]conservative worldview --dedicated to the security of Israel and the primacy of military power in a world of good and evil-- emerged after September 11, 2001 as the driving force in President Bush's foreign policy, as well as the dominant narrative in a cowed and complacent mass media. [Judeo-]conservatives --their worldview, history, networks, strategic alliances, and their role in moving the United States to war in Iraq as well as the dangerous consequences of their policy prescriptions-- are the subject of America Alone: The Neo-Conservatives and the Global Order Cambridge University Press), by far the best study of the [Judeo-]conservative movement and its relevance to Bush's "war on terror" in the flood of critical books that have poured forth in the aftermath of the Iraq war. [...] Where the book breaks new ground, however, is in its efforts to describe the origins of the [Judeo-]conservative movement, its ups and downs over the course of the past 40 years, its core beliefs, and why it poses serious threats to both the US interests as traditionally defined by conservatives and to the health of the US democracy itself. To Halper and Clarke, the [Judeo-]conservative worldview revolves around three basic themes: that "the human condition is defined as a choice between good and evil"; that military power and the willingness to use it are the fundamental determinants in relations between states; and that the Middle East and "global Islam" should be the primary focus in US foreign policy.
