[Each week, SOHH asks two entertainment personalities to name their Top 5 rappers of all-time. To make things tricky, we've created a "Hall of Fame" of emcees (see right) who are universally respected and therefore may not be mentioned. After Ras Kass named his top spitters, New Boyz's Legacy unvelis his favorite five emcees.]
Kanye West. Definitely. That's easy. I don't even have to say why.
Lupe Fiasco. I know he's really not underrated and everyone respects him, but I feel like Lupe has to be way more of a superstar than what he is right now. I feel like he's one of the dopest emcees in the game. He takes it to a whole 'nother level.
Kendrick Lamar. I think Kendrick Lamar should be up there in my Top 5 because he's hard.
Kurupt. Honestly, he's one of my favorite rappers. I've just been a fan of Kurupt since I was a kid. My dad would always used to play his music. I'd listen to all of his albums and everything.
DMX. He's another one of my favorite rappers. I'm not saying he's in my Top 5 of all time, but in this list, he's in my Top 5. I have to include him.

Related quotes
"Widespread intellectual and moral docility may be convenient for leaders in the short term, but it is suicidal for nations in the long term. One of the criteria for national leadership should therefore be a talent for understanding, encouraging, and making constructive use of vigorous criticism."
"We know this is an absolutely critical period for children's development -- for their intellectual development, their social development, their physical development. But we need to make sure the media that they are using are not only not harming that development, but are actually enhancing it."
"He is morally and intellectually superior to his white masters. They're lazy where he is hardworking. He's true to his word where they are not. He rescues his master from debt and illness. At a time when people thought whites were superior in every way, here's a black man who proves himself capable and honest at every turn."

Motor Trend gets behind the wheels of a BMW M Performance Power Kit propelled 335i xDrive.
The result is some very impressive acceleration – matching that of the current M3.
See the rest of what they have to say inside.
We had a chance this week to drive a group of F30 335i equipped with the full complement of BMW M Performance Parts. On the performance side, these cars featured M Performance Power Kit (PPK), suspension kit, brakes and exhaust. Cosmetic enhancements include the M Performance front lip spoiler/splitters, sport stripes, carbon fiber mirror caps, black kidney grilles, side-sill decals, 20″ wheels (Style 405M), carbon fiber/alcantara interior and carbon fiber shift lever.
How did the cars perform? With the M Performance Suspension Kit, the 335i handling … CONTINUED
The BMW 328i has been selected as the winner of the Cars.Com Sports Sedan Challenge. The 3 Series emerged as the winner in a series of evaluations including race track testing, instrumented measurements, street driving and a long distance trip on different types of roads.
The BMW 3 Series and five competitor cars were judged by a panel of experts from Cars.com, MotorWeek, and USA Today. The cars were also judged by actual car shoppers who were in the market for a sport sedan and were … CONTINUED

Autobild is the first to get its hands on the recently revealed 3 Series GT (Gran Turismo) (F34) for a side by side comparison with the 3 Series Touring (F31).
Their conclusion? After scoring several categories, they have the 3GT squeaking by the touring by just one point overall (67 to 66). The GT gets the nod for easier access, better features, usability, and versatility; but loses on cargo loading.
A F30POST member shares his feedback and review of the F30 3 Series M Sport Adaptive versus M Sport Passive suspensions, on otherwise identical cars.
The test cars were both F30 330d M Sport, Servotronic Steering, 18″ Wheels, Bridgestone tires, and in Sport Mode.

Same thing happened with me - if I hadn't contacted them I'd still be sitting waiting for an item they didn't have and Christamas would have been ruined. They priced it far lower than anyone else on Play.com just to get the sale, the transaction. Communication was awful, they passed the buck to Play.com and in the end just left me high and dry without resolving the problem. Then - of all the nerve - they come onto this Review site claiming they want to help!!! Talk about bad practice. It's like those companies who completely ignore their customers until they get hauled in front of Anne Robinson on Watchdog and then it "Oh, we care so much, if only you'd contacted us...." Unbelievable.

Or, in other words: Randy Moss has decided to end his brief retirement and offer his services as an NFL wide receiver again.
And so a few questions:
1. Moss announced his decision via something called UStream. As the Blob is a technologically deficient zone, I have to ask: What the (bleep) is UStream?
2. How many teams will be interested in a 35-year-old wideout, even if he is one of the best ever to play the position?
3. And will it be more teams than will be interested in a certain 35-year-old quarterback who may or may not still be able to throw the football?
I'm guessing more teams will be willing to take a chance on Moss at this point than on Peyton, for a variety of reasons. I know I would be if I were an NFL GM.

Considering that DeVito began scaling back his acting roles in the 1990s in favor of producing and directing, DeVito is currently in an exciting juncture of his acting career. Not only is he a hit in his first play in decades and star in Always Sunny, but there are even discussions for him to reteam with Arnold Schwarzenegger in a sequel to their 1988 comedy Twins. But DeVito says his recent return to acting full-time is all part of his plan, saying, "Some of my friends couldn't believe I was going back to television on an FX show — a blip on the radar, they said — and then they really couldn't believe that I was going back to theater. But at this point in my life I don't want to overthink things. I know when a role is a good fit for me."
Nevertheless, DeVito points to his recent darker roles as opportunities that "allow me to follow my bliss." He adds, "I've always tried to pick roles — big roles, very small roles — where the characters have an edgy view of the world, are full of life, give off a so-crazy-I-can't-believe-it vibe."
However, it hasn't been without difficulty. DeVito hasn't acted on stage since the 1970s, so in order to get into the character of Willie in The Sunshine Boys he purposely isolated himself. He explains, "I was nervous about not having been onstage since the '70s and came here wanting to be totally in my own space, for total concentration. Sitting alone in my apartment helped me see how desperate Willie is, which is what I wanted to find, because I thought the play was both very funny and very sad. The downside was, I became a little sad myself."
As for the possible move to Broadway, DeVito welcomes the opportunity. He says, "I wouldn't want to come to New York in something frivolous, just doing shtick. There's a sadness in the relationship between these two men that really got to me, and I think it'd surprise American audiences who might have a certain expectation about a Neil Simon comedy — and about me."

A Detailed Look at the Camera Gear Behind the Historical Apollo 11 Moon Landing
Only NASA could turn photography into literal rocket science. As Reddit user truetofiction points out in a resource-rich post, NASA meticulously decided upon a number of factors that determined the fate of the space-bound Hasselblads and the resulting images.
'My Saddest Photo Yet': Does Astronaut Photo from Space Show Israel and Gaza Burning?
German astronaut Alexander Gerst sparked quite a discussion online yesterday by uploading the photograph above to Twitter. His caption read: "My saddest photo: from the #ISS , we see explosions and rockets over #Gaza and #Israel."
Before long, the photograph was retweeted and republished far and wide, with many people and publications commenting on how horrible it is that the fighting is so intense that the rockets and fires can be captured from space… Or can they?

Did You Know: We Don't Have a Clear Photo of Pluto, but Next Year We Will
Pluto has had a rough existence. Discovered February 18th, 1930, the largest object in the Kuiper belt has gone through a number of classifications, eventually settling on "dwarf planet" at this point in time.
The interesting thing is, as much as we may know about this dwarf planet, we don't have a very good idea of what it looks like. Scientists have yet to take a clear photograph of Pluto, but around this time next year (on July 14th, 2015, to be exact) that'll change.

45 Years After the Moon Landing, We Look Back at the Best Photos from Apollo 11
It was 45 years ago, yesterday, astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins took on what is without a doubt one of the most important endeavors in the history of humankind. Packed together into one of the most incredible pieces of engineering to ever exist, the astronauts of Apollo 11 left Earth's atmosphere, with hopes of being the first humans to ever step foot on the Moon.
To commemorate the accomplishment many thought was impossible – and to those who still do – we have put together a chronological collection of photos documenting the entire journey. Shared by NASA as part of their Project Apollo Archive, these images are just a few from the vast archive of medium format, 35mm, and 16mm frames captured throughout the Apollo missions.
'Cities at Night' as Captured by Astronauts Aboard the International Space Station
Since 2003 astronauts have been snapping up photographs of our beautiful planet from the International Space Station. All of these photographs have been archived together into a resource called The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. It's through the utilization of this resource, as well as a database compiled by Spanish Astrophysicists that a little project called Cities at Night exists.

NASA Packs 17-Ton Telescope in a Boeing 747 to Solve Catch-22 of Astrophotography
NASA is known for using some impressive optics for its telescopes. But with amazing optics come some logistical limitations.
Ground-based lenses used by NASA can be as massive as needed, but are limited due to atmospheric distortion. Those used in space-based telescopes such as Hubble, on the other hand, must be much smaller, capable of being launched into space and fixed on-the-fly. This leaves NASA with a little Catch–22.
A Catch-22 they've managed to find an answer to in the form of SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy): a Boeing 747 with a 17-ton telescope packed inside. Read more…

Whole Foods Union Wins Raise for San Francisco Stores' Lowest-Paid Employees
By Tim Maher - Whole Foods Workers Union, November 14, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - A fledgling union of workers at the South of Market Whole Foods in San Francisco used workplace actions to compel Whole Foods management to implement a $1.25 per hour wage increase for those employees at the lowest wage tier.

On Nov. 10, 2014, anarchist prisoner Nikos Romanos began a hunger strike laying claim to educational passes from prison so he could take classes in the university in which he had enrolled.
His application to the Prison Council, formed by attorney general Nikolaos Poimenidis, headmistress Charalambia Koutsomichali as well as a social worker, still remain unanswered. The appealing interrogator Eftichis Nikolopoulos, who has been claiming not to be tasked with this matter, has sent a document to the council reporting that Romanos' application for educational passes from prison has been denied.
Iraklis Kwstaris began his own hunger strike on Oct. 29 for educational passes from prison to take classes at the university TEI of Piraeus. He is receiving the same denying documents from the council.
IWW Greece completely supports the hunger strikers and denounces the infringement of their legal rights. In solidarity we ask the council to give all educational passes from prison to Nikos Romanos and Iraklis Kwstaris immediately.

Delegation Delivers Petitions to Whole Foods Management as Supporters Rally Outside San Fran Whole Foods
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - This afternoon a delegation of 20 cashiers, stockers, and cooks at Whole Foods Market initiated a temporary work stoppage to deliver a petition to Whole Foods management demanding a $5 an hour wage increase for all employees and no retaliation against workers for organizing a union. After the delegation presented the petition to management, workers and supporters held a rally outside the store, located at 4th and Harrison Streets in San Francisco's South-of-Market district.
A worker must earn $29.83 an hour to afford a market-rate one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco, according to a 2014 report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Workers at the store currently earn from $11.25 to $19.25 per hour. The new minimum wage ordinance just approved by San Francisco voters will raise the City's minimum to $12.25 an hour next year, less than half of what is needed to rent an apartment.

A Jackson woman told 16 WAPT News that someone broke into her house and stole several items, including the meter that reads her electricity.
The burglary happened Wednesday morning on Clintview Street, off Flag Chapel Road.
The woman, who didn't want to be identified, said her door still has footprints on it from where the burglars kicked it in. She said there have been several other break-ins in the area.
"I strongly believe someone has been watching to know the routine of me and my family," she said.
The thieves got away with three TVs and the meter, she said.

The ACLU is suing the Obama administration under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), seeking to force disclosure of the guidelines used by Obama officials to select which human beings (both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals) will have their lives ended by the CIA's drone attacks ("In particular," the group explains, the FOIA request "seeks to find out when, where and against whom drone strikes can be authorized, and how the United States ensures compliance with international laws relating to extrajudicial killing"). The Obama administration has not only refused to provide any of that information, but worse, the CIA is insisting to federal courts that it cannot even confirm or deny the existence of a drone program at all without seriously damaging national security; from the CIA's brief in response to the ACLU lawsuit:
. . .
What makes this so appalling is not merely that the Obama administration demands the right to kill whomever it wants without having to account to anyone for its actions, choices or even claimed legal authorities, though that's obviously bad enough (as I wrote when the ACLU lawsuit was commenced: "from a certain perspective, there's really only one point worth making about all of this: if you think about it, it is warped beyond belief that the ACLU has to sue the U.S. Government in order to force it to disclose its claimed legal and factual bases for assassinating U.S. citizens without charges, trial or due process of… Continue reading

On Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder signed expansive new guidelines for terrorism analysts, allowing the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC) to mirror entire federal databases containing personal information and hold onto the information for an extended period of time–even if the person is not suspected of any involvement in terrorism. (Read the guidelines here).
Despite the "terrorism" justification, the new rules affect every single American. The agency now has free rein to, as the New York Times' Charlie Savage put it, "retrieve, store and search information about Americans gathered by government agencies for purposes other than national security threats " and expands the amount of time the government can keep private information on innocent individuals by a factor of ten.
From the New York Times:
The guidelines will lengthen to five years — from 180 days — the amount of time the center can retain private information about Americans when there is no suspicion that they are tied to terrorism, intelligence officials said. The guidelines are also expected to result in the center making more copies of entire databases and "data mining them" using complex algorithms to search for patterns that could indicate a threat. (emphasis ours)
Journalist Marcy Wheeler summed the new guidelines up nicely saying, "So…the data the government keeps to track our travel, our taxes, our benefits, our identity? It just got transformed from bureaucratic data into national security intelligence."

Operation Foxden, delayed by turf war between the FBI and the CIA, given green light three days before the al-Qaida attacks
By Ian Cobain
March 27, 2012
The US government shut down a series of court cases arising from a multimillion pound business dispute in order to conceal evidence of a damning intelligence failure shortly before the 9/11 attacks, MPs were told.
Moreover, the UK government is now seeking similar powers that could be used to prevent evidence of illegal acts and embarrassing failures from emerging in court, David Davis, the former shadow home secretary, told the Commons.
The Justice and Security green paper being put forward by Ken Clarke's justice ministry has already faced widespread criticism from civil rights groups, media representatives and lawyers working within the secret tribunal system that hears terrorism-related immigration cases.
Davis demanded to know how its proposals could be prevented from being used to cover up crimes and errors. "In light of previous revelations about the UK government's complicity in torture and rendition of detainees to locations like of Libya, Afghanistan, or illegally into American hands … how will the Government prevent the Justice and Security green paper proposals being misused in a similar way to cover up illegal acts and embarrassments rather than protect national security?"
Davis said that in 1998 the FBI seized upon an opportunity to eavesdrop on every landline and telephone call into and out of Afghanistan in a bid to build intelligence on the Taliban. The Bureau discovered… Continue reading

Great empires, such as the Roman and British, were extractive. The empires succeeded, because the value of the resources and wealth extracted from conquered lands exceeded the value of conquest and governance. The reason Rome did not extend its empire east into Germany was not the military prowess of Germanic tribes but Rome's calculation that the cost of conquest exceeded the value of extractable resources.
The Roman empire failed, because Romans exhausted manpower and resources in civil wars fighting amongst themselves for power. The British empire failed, because the British exhausted themselves fighting Germany in two world wars.
In his book, The Rule of Empires (2010), Timothy H. Parsons replaces the myth of the civilizing empire with the truth of the extractive empire. He describes the successes of the Romans, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Spanish in Peru, Napoleon in Italy, and the British in India and Kenya in extracting resources. To lower the cost of governing Kenya, the British instigated tribal consciousness and invented tribal customs that worked to British advantage.
Parsons does not examine the American empire, but in his introduction to the book he wonders whether America's empire is really an empire as the Americans don't seem to get any extractive benefits from it. After eight years of war and attempted occupation of Iraq, all Washington has for its efforts is several trillion dollars of additional debt and no Iraqi oil. After ten years of trillion dollar struggle against the Taliban in… Continue reading
On April 12 to 14, there will be a conference in Claremont, California, entitled "Celebrating Reenchantment: The Philosophical, Religious, and Political Thought of David Ray Griffin."
The conference will feature scholars addressing the various topics Griffin has covered, including 9/11. Two of the lectures — those by Tod Fletcher and Peter Dale Scott — will deal with 9/11. Here is the program:
– John Buchanan, an independent scholar, will talk about Griffin's writings on life after death.
– Philip Clayton, the dean of Claremont School of Theology and provost of Claremont Lincoln University, will address Griffin's views on religion and scientific naturalism.
– John Cobb, emeritus professor of theology at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University and founding director of the Center for Process Studies, will address Griffin's writings on evolution.
– Daniel Dombrowski, professor of philosophy at Seattle University, will talk about Griffin's treatment of the mind-body relation.
– Gary Dorrien, professor of social ethics at Union Theological Seminary and professor of religion at Columbia University, will discuss Griffin's process theology.
– Richard Falk, professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University and professor of global and international studies at the University of California-Santa Barbara, will discuss Griffin on postmodern politics and spirituality.
– Tod Fletcher, former professor of environmental science at the University of California-Berkeley, will discuss Griffin's writings about 9/11 and the 9/11 Truth Movement.
– Marcus Ford, former professor of humanities at Northern Arizona University, will deal with Griffin's treatment of… Continue reading

Guest Post by Kevin Ryan, former Site Manager for Environmental Health Laboratories, a division of Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Mr. Ryan, a Chemist and laboratory manager, was fired by UL in 2004 for publicly questioning the report being drafted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on their World Trade Center investigation. In the intervening period, Ryan has completed additional research while his original questions, which have become increasingly important over time, remain unanswered by UL or NIST.
The U.S. Secret Service failed to do its job on September 11, 2001 in several important ways. These failures could be explained if the Secret Service had foreknowledge of the 9/11 events as they were proceeding. That possibility leads to difficult questions about how the behavior of Secret Service employees might have contributed to the success of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Answering those questions will require the release of existing interview transcripts as well as follow-up questioning, under oath, of a few key people within the agency.
The most glaring example of Secret Service failure on 9/11 was the lack of protection for the President of the United States after it was well known that the country was facing terrorist attacks on multiple fronts. The interesting thing about this was that it was not a consistent approach. That is, the president was protected by the Secret Service in many ways that day but he was not protected from the most obvious, and apparently the most imminent, danger.…Continue reading

Dear Department of Justice and Department of Treasury Officials:
We might have just helped you bag another material supporter of terrorism this week! And you'll never believe who the culprit is! We were even able to tape record some of his own damning admissions! (That's the reason for my calls last week to your duty attorneys and media offices.)
As you know, Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has an ongoing investigation into several high profile former political figures, trying to discover their financial transactions with the terrorists in the Mujaheddin e Khalq aka "MEK". One of the former political officials apparently being investigated for his financial transactions and paid advocacy on behalf of MEK is former Attorney General Michael Mukasey. Well Mukasey happened to get tapped on March 15 to give an "ethical leadership" speech at the University of St. Thomas Law School and some of us went to hear what he had to say. As an aside, the overall thrust of his speech was anything but ethical. Instead he mostly defended the Bush Administration and its lawyers for having used their talents "to push the legal limits" of what the Executive Branch could do in its "war on terror." (Of course there are many legal scholars who think those Bush attorneys pushed over the legal limits.) He especially defended John Yoo and Robert Delahunty (now a St. Thomas law professor) who working in Bush's Office of Legal Counsel, co-wrote memos in early… Continue reading

Is there any truth in the allegations that informed circles made substantial profits in the financial markets in connection to the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, on the United States?
Arguably, the best place to start is by examining put options, which occurred around Tuesday, September 11, 2001, to an abnormal extent, and at the beginning via software that played a key role: the Prosecutor's Management Information System, abbreviated as PROMIS. [i]
PROMIS is a software program that seems to be fitted with almost "magical" abilities. Furthermore, it is the subject of a decades-long dispute between its inventor, Bill Hamilton, and various people/institutions associated with intelligence agencies, military and security consultancy firms. [1]
One of the "magical" capabilities of PROMIS, one has to assume, is that it is equipped with artificial intelligence and was apparently from the outset "able to simultaneously read and integrate any number of different computer programs or databases, regardless of the language in which the original programs had been written or the operating systems and platforms on which that database was then currently installed." [2]
And then it becomes really interesting:
… Continue reading
What would you do if you possessed software that could think, understand every major language in the world, that provided peep-holes into everyone else's computer "dressing rooms", that could insert data into computers without people's knowledge, that could fill in blanks beyond human reasoning, and also predict what people do – before they did it? You would probably use it, wouldn't you?

This file photo taken May 5, 1995, shows thousands of search and rescue crews attending a memorial service in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. A Utah attorney is seeking security tapes from the the bombing scene as part of his unofficial inquiry into the explosion that killed 168 people and injured hundreds more. Jesse Trentadu already received more than two dozen tapes from security cameras on the buildings around the Federal Building, but he claims the FBI edited portions of them.
Photo credit: Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — A federal judge on Wednesday continued to question the FBI's explanation for not producing videotapes associated with the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that a Salt Lake lawyer has sought for nearly six years.
"It's quite astounding that documents as important as these went missing and the FBI says, 'Well, they're gone,'" U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups said during a motion hearing.
At issue is whether the FBI adequately responded to Jesse Trentadue's Freedom of Information Act request for footage of Timothy McVeigh parking a truckload of explosives at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. Specifically, the Salt Lake attorney is after a building surveillance tape and dashcam video from the Oklahoma state trooper who stopped McVeigh 90 minutes after the explosion that killed 168 people.
The FBI has submitted several declarations from its top records manager to show the agency has searched electronic databases and evidence warehouses without success.…Continue reading

The spring air in the small, sand-dusted town has a soft haze to it, and clumps of green-gray sagebrush rustle in the breeze. Bluffdale sits in a bowl-shaped valley in the shadow of Utah's Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. It's the heart of Mormon country, where religious pioneers first arrived more than 160 years ago. They came to escape the rest of the world, to understand the mysterious words sent down from their god as revealed on buried golden plates, and to practice what has become known as "the principle," marriage to multiple wives.
Today Bluffdale is home to one of the nation's largest sects of polygamists, the Apostolic United Brethren, with upwards of 9,000 members. The brethren's complex includes a chapel, a school, a sports field, and an archive. Membership has doubled since 1978–and the number of plural marriages has tripled–so the sect has recently been looking for ways to purchase more land and expand throughout the town.
But new pioneers have quietly begun moving into the area, secretive outsiders who say little and keep to themselves. Like the pious polygamists, they are focused on deciphering cryptic messages that only they have the power to understand. Just off Beef Hollow Road, less than a mile from brethren headquarters, thousands of hard-hatted construction workers in sweat-soaked T-shirts are laying the groundwork for the newcomers' own temple and archive,… Continue reading

Activist Post
In a stunning move, on March 16, 2012, Barack Obama signed an Executive Order (EO) stating that the President and his specifically designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all domestic U.S. resources including food and water. The EO also states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside the United States as well as forcibly induct/draft American citizens into the military. The EO also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purposes of national defense.
Not only that, but the authority claimed inside the EO does not only apply to National Emergencies and times of war. It also applies in peacetime.
The Act to which this Executive Order refers is the national Defense Resources Act, first passed September 8, 1950, at the beginning of the Korean conflict, as the Cold War began. Wikipedia states (please read original for full links):
The Defense Production Act (Pub.L. 81-774) is a United States law enacted on September 8, 1950, in response to the start of the Korean War. It was part of a broad civil defense and war mobilization effort in the context of the Cold War. Its implementing regulations, the Defense Priorities and Allocation System (DPAS), are located at 15 CFR §§700 to 700.93. The Act has been periodically reauthorized and amended, and remains in force as of 2012.
The Act contains… Continue reading

Mounting Evidence: Why We Need a New Investigation into 9-11 , By Paul W. Rea, PhD
As Dr. Paul Rea states in Mounting Evidence , the 9-11 story is the 21st Century's "ultimate mass murder mystery."
Mounting Evidence makes good on the promise implied in this tantalizing quote with a 555 page book that is not only well researched and comprehensive, but is presented in a lively and engaging writing style, ensuring a good read. These characterizations only begin to describe the book's relevance, however, for Mounting Evidence focuses directly on the larger importance of 9-11. What does this event mean, in terms of its origins, in terms of the cover-up of the true facts by a rigged "investigation" by a rigged 9-11 Commission and in terms of the negative effects on U.S. foreign and military policy, even now? With his multiple foci on "meaningful contexts," the "Global Domination Project" of the United States, the "Official Story," and the currently available evidence about 9-11, Rea uses his excellent command of all sources to explicate a very complex and multi-faceted subject clearly and compellingly.
Dr. Rea's ultimate goal is "restorative truth" to help revitalize our failing democracy, which must have an educated and active population if it is to be maintained even at its current low level. Mounting Evidence points out that such truth can only be arrived at through a new investigation by a truly independent group with the power to get to the bottom of… Continue reading
Trust us, Attorney General Eric Holder says — we'll only assassinate Americans after administrative "due process." That's not how the Constitution works, buddy.
By Jonathan Turley
On Monday, March 5, Northwestern University School of Law was the location of an extraordinary scene for a free nation. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder presented President Barack Obama's claim that he has the authority to kill any U.S. citizen he considers a threat. It served as a retroactive justification for the slaying of American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki last September by a drone strike in northeastern Yemen, as well as the targeted killings of at least two other Americans during Obama's term.
What's even more extraordinary is that this claim, which would be viewed by the Framers of the U.S. Constitution as the very definition of authoritarian power, was met not with outcry but muted applause. Where due process once resided, Holder offered only an assurance that the president would kill citizens with care. While that certainly relieved any concern that Obama, or his successor, would hunt citizens for sport, Holder offered no assurances on how this power would be used in the future beyond the now all-too-familiar "trust us" approach to civil liberties of this administration.
In his speech, Holder was clear and unambiguous on only one point: "The president may use force abroad against a senior operational leader of a foreign… Continue reading

Unfortunately, it now appears that a war between the US and its allies with Iran is imminent. By any military analyst's assessment this has a real chance of changing the current multi-theatre war against terrorism and so called rogue/terrorist states into a real World War III scenario!
Following the Mainstream media (MSM) in the West over the last few months, you would be sensing that many things have happened to support the war-with-Iran rationale: hearing that Iran wants a Nuclear bomb and would be prepared to use it against Israel and the US, other alarming stories include Iran trading in weapons with "rogue states," Iran killing innocent people abroad, Iran's president is insane and wants to "wipe Israel off the map," Iran has been involved in terrorist plots/bombings and may attack inside the US and Iran is trading drugs. The list of baseless accusation goes on and on.
Interesting to remember that after 9/11 the MSM did little to question the actual events and who benefited but devoted massive media speculation to Iraq being involved while no evidence existed, managing to convince the vast majority of the American public that Saddam was involved with the 9/11 attacks leading to growing public support for the 2003 invasion.
Many times over the last decade it was obvious by the rhetoric out of Washington and from their many think tanks like PNAC (The Project for the New American Century) and leaked memos from the Pentagon that the… Continue reading

WASHINGTON — For more than a decade, questions have lingered about the possible role of the Saudi government in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, even as the royal kingdom has made itself a crucial counterterrorism partner in the eyes of American diplomats.
Now, in sworn statements that seem likely to reignite the debate, two former senators who were privy to top secret information on the Saudis' activities say they believe that the Saudi government might have played a direct role in the terrorist attacks.
"I am convinced that there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the September 11th attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia," former Senator Bob Graham, Democrat of Florida, said in an affidavit filed as part of a lawsuit brought against the Saudi government and dozens of institutions in the country by families of Sept. 11 victims and others. Mr. Graham led a joint 2002 Congressional inquiry into the attacks.
His former Senate colleague, Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, a Democrat who served on the separate 9/11 Commission, said in a sworn affidavit of his own in the case that "significant questions remain unanswered" about the role of Saudi institutions. "Evidence relating to the plausible involvement of possible Saudi government agents in the September 11th attacks has never been fully pursued," Mr. Kerrey said.
Their affidavits, which were filed on Friday and have not previously been disclosed, are part of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit… Continue reading
Secret legal files show that conviction in aircraft bombing case would probably have been overturned.
February 27, 2012
Fresh scientific evidence unearthed by a Scottish legal review undermines the case against the man convicted of being responsible for the Lockerbie aircraft bombing, an investigation for Al Jazeera has found.
The Scottish Criminal Case Review Commission (SCCRC) report details evidence that would probably have resulted in the verdict against Abdel Baset al-Meghrahi, a Libyan man convicted of carrying out the bombing of Pan-Am flight 103 in 1988, being overturned.
'Lockerbie: Case Closed', an hour-long documentary to be aired on Al Jazeera on Monday, examines the evidence uncovered by the SCCRC as well as revealing fresh scientific evidence which is unknown to the commission but which comprehensively undermines a crucial part of the case against the man known as the Lockerbie bomber.
Among the evidence examined by the SCCRC was the testimony of Tony Gauci, a shop owner from Malta, and the most important prosecution witness in the case.
Gauci identified Megrahi as a man who had bought clothing and an umbrella from him on December 7, 1988 – remnants of which were later recovered from among debris recovered from the disaster scene.
The SCCRC found a number of reasons to seriously question this identification and Gauci's account of events on that date, which was also the only day on which Megrahi… Continue reading

This wonderful new book by Jon Gold, with foreword by Cindy Sheehan, is now available in digital format from either Amazon or Smashwords, so you can choose the format that works best for you.
"9/11 Truther" is the story about an everyday American who saw that something was wrong with what we were told about 9/11, and tried to do something about it.
"This book is part autobiography and part chronicle of the 9/11 Truth Movement over the last ten years, from Jon's perspective as a participant. His telling of this story is supported with examples of his writing, as well as communications he's received from people over the years, both positive and negative. … The book is informative and enlightening, and nakedly, emotionally honest. A unique and valuable contribution." Erik Larson
"Essential reading for those who have ever dismissed anyone as crazy for questioning what we were told about 911. Jon Gold is no conspiracy theorist, just an ordinary decent American who has questions." Neil Deaken
"Jon Gold's story is interesting in at least two respects: first, next to Paul Thompson, he has compiled more information about 9/11 over the past 10+ years than anyone I know, and has synthesized the results in a fair-minded way to illustrate the many demonstrable ambiguities and lies of the official 9/11 narrative; and second, he has articulated what it is to be involved in a social movement that exists on the fringe and that contains its share… Continue reading

Just when you thought the government couldn't ruin the First Amendment any further: The House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday that outlaws protests in instances where some government officials are nearby, whether or not you even know it.
The US House of Representatives voted 388-to-3 in favor of H.R. 347 late Monday, a bill which is being dubbed the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011. In the bill, Congress officially makes it illegal to trespass on the grounds of the White House, which, on the surface, seems not just harmless and necessary, but somewhat shocking that such a rule isn't already on the books. The wording in the bill, however, extends to allow the government to go after much more than tourists that transverse the wrought iron White House fence.
Under the act, the government is also given the power to bring charges against Americans engaged in political protest anywhere in the country.
Under current law, White House trespassers are prosecuted under a local ordinance, a Washington, DC legislation that can bring misdemeanor charges for anyone trying to get close to the president without authorization. Under H.R. 347, a federal law will formally be applied to such instances, but will also allow the government to bring charges to protesters, demonstrators and activists at political events and other outings across America.
The new legislation allows prosecutors to charge anyone who enters a building without permission or with the intent to disrupt a… Continue reading

Bank assets fell from $80.4 billion in 2009 to $71.5 billion last year; deposits dropped from $65.6 billion to $59.6 billion; and loans decreased from $53.9 billion to $47 billion. One explanation for the decrease in deposits is low interest rates.
"Depositors have been looking for alternative investments, which would include buying income-producing property; purchasing investments such as mutual funds, annuities, stocks and bonds," said Kevin Greaser, community bank president at Alliance Bank in Cape Girardeau. "We continue to see both short and long-term deposit rates below 2 percent so that consumers are evaluating all opportunities."
The number of banks has also decreased for the past two years, from 291 in 2008 to 288 in 2009 and 275 last year. This decline is significant, said Steve Taylor, president and CEO of First Missouri State Bank in Cape Girardeau.
"In previous years, 2008 and 2007, the number of banks was growing every year," Taylor said. "Not only did it stop growing; now, it's dropped. The reason is those banks either failed or merged into others."
During 2010, the Missouri Division of Finance closed five state-chartered banks, according to the report. All of them were acquired the same day by a solvent bank and none of the bank customers lost a cent as a result of the closings, the report stated.
Missouri ranked fifth in the nation in the number of state-chartered banks, with 275 in 2010. About 90 percent of the banks in Missouri have a state charter.
A state charter is granted by the Division of Finance of the State of Missouri, following criteria set forth in state statutes. Other banks operate under a federal charter issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency following criteria set by Congress.
Local bankers said customers may not notice where a bank is chartered.
"I do not think generally that customers see a difference in services depending on whether they bank at a state versus nationally chartered bank," said John M. Thompson, president of The Bank of Missouri in Cape Girardeau. "What is important to the customer is the relationship with their bank, the trust they have in the bank and the quality of service they receive."
In Missouri, the legal lending limit, that is the amount that can be loaned to a single customer, is somewhat higher at a state bank. This might be some benefit to a large business that wants a single bank relationship, said Thompson.
The reason Missouri has so many state-chartered banks could be due to regulations in place through the mid-1980s that prohibited existing banks from opening branches in other counties.
"As an example, The Bank of Missouri would not have been able to branch to Cape Girardeau as we did in the late 1990s, but rather we would have had to charter and start a new bank to have a presence in Cape," Thompson said.
In the Cape Girardeau area, bankers said market conditions have been improving in 2011. Their deposits are increasing locally and they're working to make loans, but being more cautious about the customers they're willing to back.
"I think what happened, if you go back to 2009, is most banks went into a holding pattern. They didn't want to grow loans. If you don't want to grow loans, you don't need to grow deposits," Taylor said. "In 2010, deposits started coming in. Now all of a sudden everybody said, 'We're pretty healthy, we need to grow loans.'"
