Smells of Minority Report - It's one minute to midnight...
Here's what Fatherland Security has planned for its next step if they are not stopped now. Share this video like your life depended on it because it does! Gee, I wonder why the "angry" media haven't reported on this one yet.
Tim King Salem-News.com
The feds sound like they took this guy by the hand and somehow became the "terrorists" he was working with. In fact from the various media accounts, there doesn't seem to be proof that this man ever talked to any actual "terrorists" except the FBI.
Why is media not reporting on the strong probability that P-Tech, a hi-tech computer software company, was directly involved in orchestrating 9-11.
The federal government is absolutely lying about the need for and effectiveness of full-body x-rays and molestation by officials at airports for "security."
They have much better and much cheaper means to detect explosives - and they use them for their OWN protection.
Shaffer - "Let me state again - and be clear here - I do not believe WiliLeaks is a legitimate whistle-blowing organization - they seems more focused on being disruptive, than working to enhance oversight of/or resolution of key military and diplomatic issues, as an objective."
In proving to be one of the most useful tools for the Pentagon, Wikileaks resurrects "Bearded Time Lord" Osama Bin Laden and places him as one of the key masters of the resistance to U.S. occupation in Afghanistan. This assertion is made despite the fact that 92% of the population in Afghanistan have never heard of 9/11.
"I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud."
More reasons to conclude that Wikileaks is a very clever propaganda operation. Well.. maybe not all that clever.
Assange: "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud."
Julian Assange's comments regarding 9/11 stick out like a sore thumb given that this "whistleblowers' whistleblower" is now feted with the title of "the most dangerous man alive". The reality is that the CIA could nullify the threat posed by Assange and his operation any which way it wants. Assange dismissing 9/11 as a "false conspiracy" strongly suggests that that hasn't happened yet because he is useful to the PTB in the form of controlled opposition.

"recent admissions that the Israeli lobby, AIPAC, routinely receives masses of classified information makes them suspect #1 for being the source of Wikileaks"
Wikileaks is an intelligence operation to weaken and undermine the American government, orchestrated from Tel Aviv, using dozens of operatives, dual citizens, some at the highest authority levels, spies for Israel. Through leaking carefully selected intelligence along with proven falsified documents, all fed to a controlled press, fully complicit, Wikileaks is, in fact, an act of war against the United States.
This is an excerpt from comment #17 posted at 911blogger.com in the thread "Harley guy identity confirmed":
Body movement and statement analysis experts could most likely reveal significant reasons for what our instincts tell us is wrong about this interview.
At 59 seconds the reporter puts his hand on Walsh's shoulder as he identifies him and he immediately shakes his head. At 1:08 he says in a staccato tone with voice and hand gestures in authoritative mode that he saw the event "from beginning to end". How did he even know what the beginning and end actually was. Some have commented that there are no universal expressions which is not true. Universal grief and shock are well documented across cultures and even in the animal kingdom. This guy has no expression of either. He doesn't say he was terrified and wondered if more planes were comming perhaps hitting his building nothing but what appears to be a well rehearsed agenda to decribe the OCT.
North Korea does not have the technology to create, mold or machine Plutonium, almost no one has. Breeder reactors create Plutonium but it is impossible to machine or mold without using special alloys which, of course, are traceable during any nuclear explosion. North Korea has had two "nuclear" explosions and both have been traced.
Not one ounce of "North Korean" material was ever involved.
The 2006 explosion did have a nuclear signature, a North Korean explosion but an American nuclear signature. That there wasn't something worse, an implosion based explosion or, worse, a thermonuclear device demonstrates a partially successful CIA operation with Pakistan's A.Q. Khan and Valerie Plane to thank, heroes the Bush administration tried to hound to death. Why?
San Diego local, Samuel Wolanyk, was arrested this weekend after he refused to complete the TSA screening process. The passenger was then paraded through the airport in his underwear. In September, San Diego paid $35,000 to Wolanyk, a gun rights activist, for his improper arrest while abiding by San Diego's "Unloaded Open Carry" statute.
Wolanyk was arrested on two misdemeanors, "failing to complete the security process; violation code 7.01 and illegally recording the San Diego Airport Authority (they confiscated his iPhone); violation number 7.14 (a)." Officers stated that there was another arrest of a woman who was allegedly illegally filming the x-ray, and TSA screening process with a video camera.
Two Imaginary Nuclear Programs, One Criminal Conspiracy
Former President George W. Bush planned to invade Iran in 2007, even though America's military was exhausted and overstretched by two unsuccessful wars. His own popularity, at a real 8%, was the reason, that and the economic collapse that he was trying to push back until he left office. He believed a war would have saved his presidency, buried the $3 trillion dollars stolen by his friends and given him a legacy to be proud of, even if every family in America suffered.
Afghanistan War, Nightmare without End for Troops, Innocent Civilians and US Taxpayers

Futurologist explains future 9/11 Commission Report storyline before it is written, on the morning of 9/11. Known throughout the 9/11 Truth Movement as "Harley Guy", here is the entire interview from FOX News who identifies the man as Mark Walsh, a Fox freelancer. He describes nearly word for word what would eventually become the official story of how the World Trade Center collapsed. This interview occured roughly around 11:55 the morning of 9/11, only an hour and a half after both towers had collapsed.
More evidence to suggest the 9/11 Commission lied about the time he arrived in the White House basement. According to the Commission, he hadn't arrived down below until 10 a.m., long after the Pentagon had been stuck at 9:37.
Why was the 9/11 Commission lied to?
[T]he official version of what had occurred that morning--that is, what government and military officials had told [us]-- was almost entirely, and inexplicably, untrue.
-- John Farmer, Senior Counsel for the 9/11 Commission, The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America's Defense on 9/11 (Sept. 2009). p.2
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) released this PSA to explain why they are doing more enhanced pat-downs for the holiday season. Do not watch this if you are a terrorist.

Since the system was created by the Dept. of Homeland Security in 2002, the color-coded terror alert scale has been more confusing than effective.
How can DHS even begin to say they know how much danger people are in at all times? The very concept of this is flawed. In fact it looks as if the scale was created to intimidate and terrorize American citizens to keep them living in a constant state of fear.
First one must ask; how would DHS even know if a terror attack may or may not be carried out at any given time? The enemy (if real) surely would not tell us when they plan to strike, that would be comical.
Chris Hedges delivers a sincere message to a nation that is deaf and blind to the truth and facts.
Excerpts from a speech by Chris Hedges.
AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), is a sham. The group has, over the years, destroyed anyone who has tried to have it named what it really is, a dangerous foreign lobby and nest of spies. AIPAC is the most feared organization in Washington and most powerful, above any law. A former employee of AIPAC, Steve Rosen, who AIPAC claims was a spy, more appropriately a "caught" spy, now claims his former employer does nothing but spy.
Fox Business host Andrew Napolitano revealed on Tuesday that he does not believe the government's account of the 9/11 attacks. Napolitano, who hosts "Freedom Watch" on Fox Business and is frequently seen on Fox News as a legal analyst, told radio host Alex Jones — who is a prominent 9/11 conspiracy theorist —that the attacks "couldn't possibly have been done the way the government told us."

Who is cowing Americans into submission, terrorists or the TSA Gestapo?
By Paul Craig Roberts
With such expensive counter-terrorism activities, both in terms of the hard-pressed taxpayers' money and civil liberties, one would think that bombs were going off all over America. But, of course, they aren't. There has not been a successful terrorist act since 9/11, and thousands of independent experts doubt the government's explanation of that event.
Just after Sept. 11, 2001, many governments began investigations into possible insider trading related to the terrorist attacks of that day. Such investigations were initiated by the governments of Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Monte Carlo, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States and others. Although the investigators were clearly concerned about insider trading, and considerable evidence did exist, none of the investigations resulted in a single indictment. That's because the people identified as having been involved in the suspect trades were seen as unlikely to have been associated with those alleged to have committed the 9/11 crimes.
This is an example of the circular logic often used by those who created the official explanations for 9/11. The reasoning goes like this: if we assume that we know who the perpetrators were (i.e., the popular version of "al Qaeda") and those who were involved in the trades did not appear to be connected to those assumed perpetrators, then insider trading did not occur.
George Galloway was filmed in Montreal on 17th November 2010 saying, "9/11 conspiracy theories are insane.":
Resilient Founding Fathers with Propensity for Resistance among One Million+ Terror Watch List Suspects!
Even more significantly, it's been reported that the TSA Terror Watch List includes the names of Long-Dead but well-known and well-respected US citizens, including several members of a group collectively known as the Founding Fathers of the United States. So far, based on our former and current TSA sources, we have been able to confirm the inclusion of two such long-dead persons on at least one DHS-TSA joint Terror Watch List: Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.
We've put up numerous videos now of very young children being stripped searched in public, touched against their will, and, in any other place and under any other circumstances, molested by TSA screeners.
Parents are counseled to tell their children that these "screenings" are a game. The US news media's comment on this? Deafening silence. Instead they ask us if we aren't being "too sensitive" and tell us there needs to be a "balance between security and privacy." Children are being taught that anyone in uniform has free access to their bodies...that they can't say "no"...
When both Judge Napolitano and Geraldo Rivera, biggest names on "fair and balanced" Fox News, agree that calling 9/11 a "wingnut conspiracy" was a mistake, you would expect more to happen. The government should be shaken to its roots, network after network should be picking up the story and something, anything, should be in the newspapers.
Instead, everyone, yes, everyone in the media, everyone in government, is pretending it didn't happen, just hoping it will go away. The reason they are reacting this way is simple, if even part of 9/11 gets out, part of the easily proven truth, there can't be enough unexpected "heart attacks' and plane crashes to keep everything from crashing in.

Fewer than one in 10 Afghans are aware of the 9/11 attacks and their precipitation of the war in Afghanistan, says a study from an international think tank.
A report (PDF) from the International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) shows that 92 percent of those surveyed had never heard of the coordinated multiple attacks on US soil on September 11, 2001. It also shows that four in 10 Afghans believe the US is on their soil in order to "destroy Islam or occupy Afghanistan."
I am putting this up again because I am certain that Michael Chertoff and his cronies who are getting rich off of giving the rest of us cancer, rather than allow Americans the freedom to say "NO", will stage another phony crotch-bomber or bandini-bomber or toner-cartridge-of-death; any hoax they can come up with to justify the continued looting and harassment of the American people.
Recently, political pressure has been brought to bear against a trades unionist KEVIN BRACKEN, for attempting to express his views about the events of 9/11, on Australia's publicly funded broadcaster, the ABC. This video redresses the balance, and makes it clear that Australia's prime minister is either ignorant, beyond belief, or she is putting the interests of nuclear, Apartheid Israel ahead of Australia's.

FDNY Hero to Share 9-11 Lessons with Standards Experts
New York September 3, 2003
As the first Chief on the scene during the World Trade Center attacks, Joseph W. Pfeifer, Chief of Planning and Strategy and Deputy Assistant Chief of Operations for the Fire Department of the City of New York, experienced firsthand the challenges faced by first responders in dire emergency situations. Pfeifer will share his unique perspective as a survivor and leader at the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) Annual Conference on Wednesday, October 1, 2003, at the Marriott at Metro Center in Washington, DC.
Inside the North Tower: Witness Accounts, Plaza Level & Concourse Lobbies, Basements
...The jet fuel from the plane poured down the elevator shafts.Owing to the way the elevators are laid out, I don't understand how the fuel got into the elevator that she was waiting for. There are / (were) "Sky Lobbies" on 44 and on 78.So to go above those floors, you took an express elevator to theappropriate sky lobby and then transferred to a local elevator. The elevator machinery was located on the floors above the sky lobbies; only a very few shafts continued all the way up. Anyway, apparently she was in the lobby, the elevator shaftway doors opened and a fireball hit her with full force.
Just after September 11th 2001, many governments began investigations into possible insider trading related to the terrorist attacks of that day. Such investigations were initiated by the governments of Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Monte Carlo, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States, and others.

Secure in Our Persons
November 15th, 2010
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…" – United States Constitution, 4th Amendment.
In the aftermath of 9/11, the U.S. federal government nationalized our transportation security system and established the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).. . There was an important legal change, however,...TSA screeners and screening procedures must now adhere to Constitutional limits on government authority. Airport screeners are not private entities representing private companies anymore; they are government agents that answer to you and me.
Following what ABC News reported were "high-level negotiations between Israeli and U.S. government officials", a settlement was reached in the case of the five Urban Moving Systems suspects. Intense political pressure apparently had been brought to bear. The reputable Israeli daily Ha'aretz reported that by the last week of October 2001, some six weeks after the men had been detained, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and two unidentified "prominent New York congressmen" were lobbying heavily for their release. According to a source at ABC News close to the 20/20 report, high-profile criminal lawyer Alan Dershowitz also stepped in as a negotiator on behalf of the men to smooth out differences with the U.S. government.
Barack Obama's plans to try accused terrorists in civilian courts experienced a major setback last night when the first former Guantánamo detainee to be tried in one was convicted on just one of 285 charges over the 1998 attack on US embassies in East Africa which killed 224 people.
Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a 36-year-old Tanzanian, was found guilty of conspiracy to destroy US government buildings and property for helping an al-Qaida cell to buy a lorry and bomb parts in the attacks on the American embassies in Kenya and Dar-es-Salaam. But a US federal jury acquitted him of all the more serious charges of murder and conspiracy.
Obama's spin team made a heroic effort to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.
And we know they have been caught saving untold hundreds of thousands of the images, as with the court house in Florida, trading them around like baseball cards after lying about not being able to store images... "Do the imagers, for example, detect sanitary napkins?" women wanted to know. "Yes," wrote Sharkey. "And what about tampons?" "They look kind of like sticks of dynamite. Are they going to ask us to pull them out and show them just to be sure?"
You need to see the image caught of the TSA computer at the airport with the "My First Cavity Search" desktop screensaver - laughing in our faces!
Summary of his very powerful message: to avoid giving gross offense to the Afghan public, and to prevent the appearance of an uncontrolled security state, the US military forbids use on Afghan civilians of the very practices the TSA is now making routine for civilian travelers at US airports.
Let's not forget that former Fatherland Security secretary Michael Chertoff is the founder of the Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm whose clients include manufacturers of full-body scanners.
Chertoff's group represents Rapiscan, a California based firm "which until recently was the only company qualified to sell full-body scan machines to the TSA." Last summer, "TSA purchased 150 machines from Rapiscan with $25 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds."
In this jam packed edition of the Reality Report Gary Franchi gets wind of a recently declassified investigation from a 1963 Senate Foreign Relations Committee. From it he breaks down the truth of how terrorism was used against the United States to manipulate our Middle East policy. You will never guess who was behind the terrorism. Bob McIlvaine joins the show to deliver the "behind the scenes" look at what happened when he entered FOX studios to disclose the truth of the collapse of WTC Building Seven while seeking justice for the son he lost on 9/11. Bob Dwyer joins the broadcast to give the details on the new super patriot event scheduled for December 12 at the historic Faneuil Hall in Boston, MA. Gary shares a list of important upcoming events that you need to attend. Nina delivers you the headlines this week including a story about abolishing the TSA and Ron Paul's new committee appointment. She also gives you the facts on the two girls expelled from school for raising awareness for breast cancer. Nina also provides an update on the Canadian hearings about police brutality during the Toronto G20. We read viewer mail about the mystery missile and a sneaky Congressman is branded an Enemy of the State.
The Obama administration is getting ready to unveil a new innovative healthcare initiative geared to bridge TSA, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Tourism Industry to provide airline travelers with several major physical examinations at No Cost. Based on the proposed plan US travelers will be offered thorough colon, prostate and breast exams, and will be given health certificates as part of their routine and mandatory TSA security checks at airports.

The 9/11 Photo Record is Entirely a False Construction
How to prove it? Take a look at these images of the fire department response on September 11th, 2001:
Now compare the look and feel of the level of activity on 9/11 with a view taken on West Street by Allan Tannenbaum after the first WTC bombing on February 26, 1993.
Or how about these three images by Brian Fountain taken at the Deutsch Bank Fire on August 18, 2007:
It has become evident from the 7/7 inquest that the only CCTV of any of the four alleged bombers in London that morning, is of Hassib Hussain pottering around Kings Cross. And that only starts at five to nine, after the tube bombs have gone off.
In addition. there is some genuine looking CCTV footage of Shezad Tanweer with Hassib Hussain at a M1 Petrol Station at 5.00 am that morning - and that is all!
There is nothing from the underground apart from some clearly faked CCTV footage at Kings Cross (faked time stamp) - only released in 2008. Ditto for the four entering Luton Station.
In fact alleged ring leader Khan was last seen fifth of July with his pregnant wife at hospital.

Who Gets The Last Laugh Now?
The widely distributed falsehood that Father Mychal Judge was administering last rites to a fallen firefighter when he was fatally injured, was a public relations scam, a lie endlessly repeated by authorities, which never had a grain of truth to it. . . . If anything, evidence and testimony show that Father Judge was giving an interview to Jules Naudet at the time of Tower 2's collapse and his mysterious death.. . .Father Judge's status as Victim # 00001 was likewise a public relations stunt.
9/11 South Tower Demolition Initiating Explosion Loud And Clear
Helicopter hovers, then suspicious whistles, copter flies away quick, tower explodes down
One report from a very credible source (a famous health author whom I know quite well) reveals that glowing TSA officers told her the naked body scanners don't even emit X-rays. "It's a myth," the officer said. "There are no X-rays from those machines."
Really? Then how do they work? Are they MAGIC? Do TSA officers cast a magic Spell of X-Ray Vision on the air travel passengers like some sort of Dungeons & Dragons adventure?
Gee, Geraldo has seen the light, and all of a sudden Huffington post has stopped deleting comments from 9-11 truthers; it's not like Adam and Jamie to be so "last century"! :)
This week, Geraldo Rivera was foiled in his attempt to "contain" the 9/11 movement, something exploding around the world. A Herald Sun poll in Australia the week before, 10,000 respondents, showed 78% support for 9/11 being an "inside job." A reasonable estimate for Americans is likely to approach the same figure.
Fox News now "owns" 9/11 as much as they own Glen Beck. First, Judge Napolitano "outed" the phony investigation now Geraldo Rivera has taken a strong stand on the (www.buildingwhat.org) Building 7 demolition issue. If you put both shows together, they lead to the most frightening coverup in modern history and a clear evidentiary trail, one Fox News has exposed. Why, then, is the door opened and then closed again?
When witnesses started to come forward with stories of explosions inside the WTC buildings on 9-11, Bush briefly attempted to explain it away by claiming that Khalid Sheik Mohammed admitted (after 134 waterboardings) that Al Qaeda planted explosives in the buildings. Of course, that prompted a question from a certain blogger asking why, if Al Qaeda (nudge nudge wink wink) planted explosives in the buildings, why bother with the jet planes? Then there were witnesses who started ti come forward to report they had seen the workmen who planted the explosives in the buildings, and not only did they not look Arab they had special security passes and a reserved elevator. So after those problems surfaced with the story, Bush dropped the claim about terrorists planting bombs in the buildings and the story went back to "There were no bombs, there were no bombs, there were no bombs..."
Shanghai apartment block engulfed by fire remains standing. WTC 7 collapses into its footprint. Go figure.
I don't like getting carried away with speculation. However - as I said earlier - the biggest mystery is why Fox News and Geraldo are giving the AE911Truth people air time?
Fire has engulfed a Shanghai high-rise, killing at least eight people and sending billowing plumes of black smoke over the city, state media and officials said.
"Wow! Look at that fire. much more involved than those piddly-ass fires ion WTC-7. That steel-framed baby gonna come down any second, just like the World Trade buildings. Any second. Any second... Gonna come right down......... any moment............ Let's go get a beer or something."
"When I was coming through the doors on the other side of the Trade Center, something, either it blew the lobby up or something, because it blew glass out of the doors and knocked us all down."
Geraldo actually gives time and credibility to guests talking about 9/11 Ad Campaign Asking NYC City Council To Investigate Collapse Of WTC-7 Building
I won't say Geraldo is on the side of truth here, but at least he has backed off calling those who are "nut cases." Still for Geraldo this was pretty balanced reporting and has apparently thrown Israel into a panic because I am already deluged with "no plane at Pentagon", "Pod on the planes", "Lasers and holograms", and "Arabs did it (and you're an anti-Semite if you don't agree)" emails this morning.
Not failures, but crimes!

"Hey, World Trade 7 fell down like because, because, because, um, the mayor stored thousands of gallons of diesel fuel in an office building. Yeah, that's it. Diesel fuel. It's just a coincidence that every single load bearing member on the ground floor failed at the exact same moment in time. Coincidence. CO-IN-SEE-DUNCE! Trust us. We're the government."
Relinked in light of Geraldo's segment tonight!
"It is an intriguing topic. I certainly am much more open minded about it than I was, and it is because of the involvement of the 9/11 families and all these engineers and architects. CLEARLY THEY KNOW MORE THAN I DO." ~ Geraldo Rivera

"The 2010 election had one purpose, war with Iran, even if the risk is world conflict and the real loser, no matter what happens on the battlefield is the United States."
Plans are in motion for a "false flag" attack on America. Iran will be blamed, everyone knows that and Iran will be totally innocent. This is the last thing Iran would ever want. The most likely scenario is a nuclear attack. Two bombs are missing, bombs built by Israel in South Africa and lost long ago. These were supposedly Saddam's bombs. Now we are told Iran has them. Israel has had them all along and the fear, they may be inside the United States already.

Geraldo At Large – Tonight – WTC Building 7
Make sure and tune in to Fox News tonight at 10 pm pacific/ 1 am eastern time for a WTC Building 7 special on main stream media. Fox's – Geraldo At Large show will air tonight on Fox for the first time.
We will have to wait and see if Geraldo is bringing out key information to the public or if it will be another shill broadcast by the corporate media.
The self-proclaimed mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks probably will remain in military detention without trial for the foreseeable future, The Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing Obama administration officials.
The administration has concluded that it cannot put Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on trial in federal court in New York City because of opposition from members of Congress and local officials, the Post said.
There is also little support within the administration for a military prosecution at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, over concerns it would alienate liberal supporters, the paper reported.
By refusing to try this case (which would probably come apart at the seams under the normal process of American jurisprudence), the US government has institutionalized indefinite detention without trial, just as it has previously institutionalized torture.
And the big ugly stink it appears no one wants to deal with in this case (which is why this guy may rot at Gitmo for the rest of his life), is that Mohammed's "confession" was elicited under torture.
As reported on 23 March, 2007 at:
"In the case of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, it appears that with torture you can get someone to confess to masterminding the entire al-Qaeda attack on the United States. Senior FBI officials are questioning some of Sheikh Mohammed's assertions of guilt and remind us of the FBI's concern about torture techniques used by both the CIA and the US military on prisoners in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo, techniques that can elicit confessions just to get the torturers to stop."
Citing the "Laws of War" as an excuse for indefinite detention doesn't work at all in the case of Khalid Mohammed, because, according to the Constitution, only Congress can declare war. Congress did no such thing before the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Also, under the rules of law, there is no such thing as an "enemy combatant"; that is something the previous administration made up out of thin air!
There are only prisoners of war, and these prisoners of war should be dealt with under the provisions of the Geneva
Accords, to which the US is still (at least on paper) a signatory.
The US government officials aren't afraid of some terrorist act happening because such a trial would go forward; it is terrified that because Mohammed's confession was obtained under torture, it would be immediately thrown out under normal judicial procedure.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU SEE FIRE - the flaming inferno is mind control
Listen to the final moments of the daring rescue efforts of the New York City Fire Department operating in the South Tower of the World Trade Center moments before it suddenly exploded into oblivion. This is the biggest conflict of evidence of all: Either there were emergency teams operating in the building or there was a tremendous raging inferno. The two are mutually exclusive possibilities.
Rachel Maddow points out that Bush is still lying. However, being a part of the mainstream media she still infers from her video that she believes that Al Qaeda planned and orchestrated 9/11.
However, her commentary is much more in line with the truth than most other mainstream media commentators.
George Bush is still a pawn of the private central bankers and the oil industry as his father is. The bankers and oilmen have told him to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the public so they can continue to dismantle the United States economy and create a one world economic system and government. In this way, they will finally have total and absolute control.
For more, go to my website which is www.911insidejob.com
Former US President George W. Bush has in his book said that by going to war in Iraq, the US has saved British lives as it stopped possible terrorist attacks.
What he did not reveal was that the Iraq war created much terrorism inside the country as many sources say the war has led to the deaths of over a million Iraqi lives.
To discuss the issue, Press TV had an interview with Stephen Lendman, writer and radio host from Chicago, Bill Jones with the Executive Intelligence Review from Washington and Jeff Gates, US attorney and author from California. The following is the transcription of the interview.
Alexandrov and co have created a model to investigate how THz fields interact with double-stranded DNA and what they've found is remarkable. They say that although the forces generated are tiny, resonant effects allow THz waves to unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication. That's a jaw dropping conclusion.
And it also explains why the evidence has been so hard to garner. Ordinary resonant effects are not powerful enough to do do this kind of damage but nonlinear resonances can. These nonlinear instabilities are much less likely to form which explains why the character of THz genotoxic effects are probabilistic rather than deterministic, say the team.
Naked body scanners are being readied to go mobile and scan you on the street, at football games and any other event where masses of people are congregated, according to a leaked paper written by Dutch authorities.
The system's unique "drive-by" capability allows...X-ray imaging of suspect vehicles and objects while the ZBV drives past....can also be operated in stationary mode*...producing X-ray images of vehiclesScreening can also be accomplished remotely. as they pass by. .. The system is unobtrusive, as it maintains the outward appearance of an ordinary van.
Pilots and flight attendants are not exempt from the new screening procedures, and unions representing them have begun urging their members to resist. The head of the American Airlines pilots' union stated last week:
I recommend that all pilots insist that such screening is performed in an out-of-view area to protect their privacy and dignity.
This situation has already produced a sexual molestation in alarmingly short order. Left unchecked, there's simply no way to predict how far the TSA will overreach in searching and frisking pilots who are, ironically, mere minutes from being in the flight deck.
As we all know, it makes no difference what a pilot has on his or her person or in their luggage, because they have control of the aircraft throughout the entire flight.
I blame America's pork-barrel system of politics which puts what passes for democracy up for sale to the highest bidders. It just so happens that the Zionist lobby in association with its Christian fundamentalist allies is one of the highest bidders, if not the highest.

911stealth NYPD Choppers: Hayes, Walsh Ignorant of Rooftop Rescue
Think of Hayes and Walsh, etc., hitting a specific spot with their UV laser at the top of each WTC tower to trigger the destructive chain reaction. Indeed we can see their choppers approaching each? tower before the towers fell.
have you read about UV laser coupled to choppers? sooner or later the truth will emerge on what Hayes and Walsh & those inside "NYPD" choppers really did on 9/11 against WTC, vs. America, & vs. the Truth, i.e., an ultraviolet laser with lower divergence deployed from a low-flying helicopter, you just needed to adjust the emission range to disintegrate those towers
NEW YORK — Thousands of 9/11 rescue and recovery workers who sued New York City over their exposure to toxic dust are waiting to learn whether they'll get any money from a big settlement in the case.
A midnight deadline came and went for ground zero workers to decide whether to join the deal.
We couldn't have asked for better circumstances...
WAC - On September 11th this year we ran into Janet Napolitano, director of the Dept. of Homeland Security, while visiting the reflecting pool memorial inside the "pit." Here is the video of 9-11 family member Manny Badillo's conversation with her regarding building 7. Please spread far and wide and enjoy!
Alan Hart reminds Western leaders that the principal cause of "terrorism" is injustice - the injustice that leads communities to tolerate and harbour "extremists" - and that at the core of the injustice that feeds political terror by Muslim and Arab groups is the double standard of Western foreign policy in the Middle East and beyond.
AIPAC Brags, "Unprecedented Control Over American Politics"
AIPAC, the Israel lobby used to, we don't exactly know but every politician in America is terrified of it for some reason, claims to have total control over the new congress. It isn't a "Jewish thing," AIPAC got rid of 6 Jews who were too "pro-American" for their tastes. The last thing it is about is the security of Israel, a regional bully, a small land of ICBMs, germ warfare labs and warehouses loaded with American munitions which they sell around the world.
"Whereas many disturbing facts were consciously ignored by the 9/11 Commission; Be it resolved, therefore, that the CDP calls for the establishment of a truly independent Grand Jury and public investigation into these and other anomalies in order to find the truth of the September 11, 2001 attacks, so that we have a greater probability of preventing attacks of this nature in the future."
Listen to an overbearing gatekeeper, Jon Faine, attempt to rubbish the genuine concerns of an Australian trades unionist, Kevin Bracken, in an attempt to stifle any debate about the many anomalies in the official 9/11 story.
Seldom have I heard anyone, who obviously wants the issue to go away, do more to attract attention to it. He did this during a phone-in on the publicly-owned Australian Broadcasting Commission's 774 ABC Melbourne radio station.
A small amount of sound editing was necessary, but the integrity of the conversation was retained.

The people of Yemen simply don't believe in Al Qaeda or Osama bin Laden, and for good reason. When Abdullah al-Faqih, professor of political science at Sana University told the New York Times, "We cannot differentiate between what is propaganda and what is real…Some of what looks like Al Qaeda is really terror as a business."

The following is my best academic approach for how academic professionals interested in controversial current events and history can teach them. When I teach history courses, I open the conversation with a challenge to students: "If you could know anything in history, if you could learn what really happened, what would you want to know?" I have them think, reflect, and then offer to have supplemental teaching units on whatever the class votes as their topics of greatest interest as a "reward" if their academic progress in the regular curriculum is on-pace and meets our academic target for class GPA success as a class (economics of incentives in action).
Uncovering the data NIST used in its WTC investigations proved to be a little more difficult. The Center filed a FOIA Request with NIST on January 26, 2009, seeking disclosure of "all of the photographs and videos collected, reviewed, cited or in any other way used by NIST during its investigation of the World Trade Center building collapses." NIST initially ignored this request, and for months dismissed attempts by the Center to gain acknowledgment of its receipt. Undeterred, Gourley filed a lawsuit on May 28, 2009 to get the data released. Since then, NIST has been periodically turning over images and video from its archives. So far, the Center has received over 300 DVDs and several external hard disk drives related to the NIST Reports – more than three terabytes of data – and NIST has indicated that additional records will be released in the future.
Excepting the three 9-11 collapses, no fire, however severe, has ever caused a steel-framed high-rise building to collapse. Following are examples of high-rise fires that were far more severe than those in WTC 1 and 2, and Building 7. In these precedents, the fires consumed multiple floors, produced extensive window breakage, exhibited large areas of emergent flames, and went on for several hours. The fires in the WTC towers did none of these things.
With early news stories being continually contradicted, bombs that weren't really bombs heading out on flights that never existed, carrying packages for companies that don't service Yemen, all heading for Chicago synagogues, part of the wildest "persecution complex" of all time, the whole "Al Qaeda/Yemen" thing has been little more than a "borscht belt" comedy act.
Renowned Jewish-American scholar Noam Chomsky says US invasion of Afghanistan was illegal since to date there is no evidence that al-Qaeda has carried out the 9/11 attacks.
"I remember once the Secret Service thought they had another threat and tried to get the president to leave," [Karen Hughes, a senior counselor to George W. Bush] said. "And he insisted that he wasn't leaving. I'll never forget, he said: 'In fact, I'm hungry. I want a hamburger.' [MSNBC]
President Bush knew the twin towers had been hit by commercial airliners. An unknown number of people were dead or injured, and some were jumping from the towers, but the main concern of the US forces commander-in-chief was getting a hamburger. How did he know it was safe to stick around and ask for a burger? How did he know he was not making targets of the school staff and students by staying with them?
Last night, in the beginning I dreamed of a powerful vampire clan. For some reason, although they were dangerous in the extreme, there was an understanding that existed in which I was in no danger from them. I had done, or was doing something, that affected all of this. For the rest of the night, I dreamed about 9/11 and the people behind it and was engaged in something that was bringing the knowledge of the participants out before the world. They were toast and it was an indisputable reality that they were doomed and could not repair the incipient, emerging reality of their downfall. All night I was up and then back to bed and each time I was, once again, into the proactive, engaged scenario of 9/11 exposure.
Can YOU guess which thing is not like the other things? I bet Elmo and Grover can.

Undeniable facts about Zionism.
Disinformation is defined as 'misinformation that is deliberately disseminated in order to influence or confuse rivals.' It is used by governments to mislead and brainwash their citizen populations, instigate wars, and blackmail foreign regimes. It is the ultimate instrument of the media. The most effective disinformation is that which is comprised of falsehood as well as facts. Wikileaks, founded by Julian Assange, fits this description perfectly, right down to the letter.
RT has spoken with 4-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader about the real powers that govern America. Ralph Nader does not belong to either of the two parties ruling Congress. Nader believes that Theodore Dreiser put it very well many years ago, when he said that "the corporations are the government".
A Houston man who sent a Rice University professor a youtube link via e-mail in October was contacted by police investigators shortly thereafter. The video, entitled 'History They Don't Teach You in School', covers the history of false flag terrorism, Israeli Zionists, and Israeli involvement in the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was e-mailed to Rice University Jewish Studies professor Rabbi Shira Lander, Ph.D, after the man had seen fliers advertising her Jewish studies anti-semitism class.
The NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) is launching a television ad campaign on Election Day in New York City calling for an investigation into the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7, the third building to collapse on 9-11. Building 7 came down at 5:20 in the afternoon although it had not been hit by an aircraft.
Carl Cameron supports questioning what really happened on 9-11-2001, because important question have been ignored by our government.
New 9/11 Aerial Photos Released: Helicopter Captured Pictures Of World Trade Center After Attack (PHOTOS)
Huffington Post/AP First Posted: 02-10-10 02:27 PM |
"The images were taken from a police helicopter – the only photographers allowed in the air space near the towers on Sept. 11, 2001. They were obtained by ABC News after it filed a Freedom of Information Act request last year with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which investigated the collapse."
Chomsky: US-led Afghan war, criminal
Renowned Jewish-American scholar Noam Chomsky says US invasion of Afghanistan was illegal since to date there is no evidence that al-Qaeda has carried out the 9/11 attacks.
Al-Qaeda terror mastermind Anwar Al-Awlaki, the man who helped plot the aborted Christmas Day bombing, the Fort Hood shooting, the Times Square bombing attempt, brainwashed the 7/7 bombers, had pursued a Doctorate in Education from the CIA's favorite University, George Washington in DC and who also preached to the alleged September 11 hijackers, dined at the Pentagon just months after 9/11 documents obtained by Fox News show.
Pro-Israel group AIPAC (American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee), hails success for supporters on both sides of the political divide, as well as election of three new Jewish members of Congress; polls shows 66 percent of U.S. Jews voted Democrat.
America's largest pro-Israel lobby group on Wednesday hailed the results of midterm elections in the U.S. which saw staunch supporters re-elected to Congress on both sides of the party political divide.
Part of the tragedies of the peoples of Palestine, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia, and the dangers threatening Iran, Sudan and Yemen, is caused by the cowardice of leaders and their succumbing to the dictates and temptation of Zionist money and the blackmail of Israeli media and not responding to their human conscience and the interests of their nations which they are supposed to represent.
Rupert Murdoch the warmonger encouraged George W. Bush's maniacal killing spree in Iraq. He convinced Tony Blair to support Bush's madness.
This compilation shows the collapse of Building 7 at 5:20pm on September 11, 2001 from several different angles.
9-11 Commission never even mentions WTC 7 nor of course tries to explain it to be anything but a controlled demolition. Controlled demos take weeks to set up.
A real rally for America would be anti-war, anti-imperialism and most definitely anti-criminal government and anti-wall street/banker syndicate. Basically it would be looking for the truth wherever it leads us. We haven't seen much of that in these controlled for TV gatherings.
Here's How We Handled Ourselves and Message at the Stewart/Colbert Rally
We have seen it all before. Last Christmas, the "Crotch Bomber" was another "PETN/Yemen" terror fiasco. Press stories blamed Al Qaeda and were ready to build this into a new 9/11 except that reliable witnesses, Detroit area attorneys, saw the terrorist, no passport, no visa, escorted onto the plane. Before that, newspapers said the bomber had a diplomatic passport, a visa and had "evaded" security.
This video is of major importance considering the south tower fell first even though it was struck second. The reporter is confirming that the FDNY was doing what they do best.....putting the pockets of fire out.

The "BuildingWhat?" TV ad begins airing on November 2, Election Day 2010, and will run through November 10. In total it will air 350+ times and be seen by millions of viewers in the New York Metropolitan Area, reaching core target audiences multiple times. It will appear on thirteen channels including MSNBC, CNN, Comedy Central, HGTV, Logo TV, Bio TV, Versus TV, MSG, Sports NY, VH1, HLN, CNBC and Bravo.

Toner Terror Threataganda Pushed by Western Powers
Once again, according to the government and the compliant corporate media, Muslim cave dwellers are attempting to kill us because they hate our freedom. Last week the airwaves and internet were besieged with a fabulous story of al-Qaeda miscreants in Yemen attempting to send toner cartridge bombs to synagogues in Chicago.
Desperation on the cusp of madness!
This is a short video showing the collapse of the South tower on Sept.11 2001. As the cameraman follows the falling debris to the ground there are what seems to be jets of white smoke coming from below ground.
This video is one of many which was recently released by NIST after a FOIA request. They contend that WTC 7 could not have been demolished because they claim that no videos caught the sound of explosions as the building came down. This video would have caught an explosion as the penthouse collapsed, so NIST edited out this part of the video (@~34 sec).

Show Detailed Description
The electronic medical record (EMR) offers a new method to provide patients with information about their visits with a clinician. The EMR can generate personalized and patient specific handouts at the end of the visit that can recap the topics covered during that visit. These After Visit Summaries (AVS) can be automatically generated with information contained in the patient's chart. The AVS has the potential to improve patient retention of information needed for adherence to treatment plans, and follow-up instructions, and to facilitate information transfer between healthcare settings. However, the content and formatting of the AVS to optimize patients' information retention and satisfaction with the visit is not known. In this study, we will develop and test in a randomized trial three different versions of an AVS to determine the AVS content that maximizes patient satisfaction and retention of information on the AVS,and adherence to physician instructions. The three versions of the AVS developed from patient and physician input will be compared to a control condition which consists of current practice in each setting.

This article first appeared in Huffington Post By: Marc Stoiber
I'm a creative director with a passion for innovation, brands and sustainability. When I write, it tends to be on topics that touch on all three. It's a fascinating space, with no shortage of inspiration.
So I was a bit surprised to get a note a few weeks back asking if I'd be interested in writing a piece on Kohler's Numi toilet.
At first blush, the Numi is not the sort of innovation that sparks my interest. It's a piece of 'bells and whistles' technology (motion activated seat and music, anyone?) at a price that would make the everyman blanch. When it comes to pushing innovation forward, I can't help but think there are better things Kohler could focus on. (In fact, Kohler products like the DTV Prompt feel like a real step forward for consumers, the environment, and innovation-seekers).
Nonetheless, I rang Matt Rolandson of Ammunition, the design firm responsible for the positioning strategy and communications campaign on the Numi project. I'm happy to say the conversation was an eye-opener.
Wake Up, So-Called Innovation Thinker
To my surprise, Matt agreed the Numi was completely out of sync with the prevailing zeitgeist of conscious consumption. He even pointed out the hilarious Conan O'Brien take on the toilet's unapologetic excess.
But when we dug deeper into the worldview of the prospective buyer, I realized I'd neglected to consider the psyche of someone completely outside my sphere of reference. My thinking was, in innovation parlance, stuck inside the jar.
The Numi buyer was an Asian magnate, Russian business oligarch, Saudi prince or wealthy wannabe. He was rich, and wanted an ostentatious reflection of his success. The Numi provided that in spades, at a fraction of the cost of a new Bugatti.
Did this person feel a pang of conscience installing a Numi in every bathroom? Of course not.
Did we, the folks looking over the fence, begrudge him the purchase? Maybe. But as Matt pointed out, the favorite films of the Great Depression were big, glitzy and glamorous. And today, the Robb Report sells briskly to folks who definitely don't fit the millionaire model.
A Parallel For Conscious Consumers
Learning about the Numi was a refreshing wakeup call. It also gave me new perspective on marketing to consumers in my sphere of expertise.
It appears there are more than a few of us thinking inside the green jar. OgilvyEarth recently released an enlightening study on the chasm between green products and prospective consumers. It identified several walls marketers continue to run up against in their bid to sell green.
These walls illustrate that consumers are complex, contradictory, and not moved to action simply because their future is threatened.
Perhaps we could all use a perspective shift to get a fresh take on what makes these consumers tick.
Lessons To Be Learned
So what are the takeaways from my Numi experience – apart from gaining a newfound appreciation for disappearing bidets and illuminated toilet remote controls?
- Thinking inside the jar is severely limiting, and can blind you to opportunities. If you can't see the merit in a potential innovation, it pays to engage someone whose thinking doesn't immediately line up with your own.
- Not every innovation needs to redefine a category. The Numi is a toilet with an incredible array of superfluous gadgets. It's an incremental innovation at best. But for its market, it fills a need perfectly.
- Lessons learned in one context can bring a breath of fresh air to another. Learning about the Numi and its target consumer enabled me to step back and question whether the conscious consumer can be as neatly packaged as many green marketers believe.
- Start with an insight. Creating the best green innovation that doesn't solve a real, universal problem is pointless. Make sure you're solving for a pain point that is real, and for a pain point that many people have.

About Care
About Cremation
Online Arrangements
Grief & Support
Use the form above to find your loved one. You can search using the name of your loved one, or any family name for current or past services entrusted to our firm.Click here to view all obituaries
At Avatar Cremation Service & Crematory, we offer online cremation planning for your convenience. You can get a head start on the arrangement process by completing as much of the necessary details as possible in the comfort of your own home.
Let's be honest; if someone were to ask you, "what's the benefit of planning ahead?" you'd probably answer quite simply: "it helps prevent mistakes". It's true in all areas of our lives; when we take the time to plan ahead, we can save ourselves time, energy and, of course; quite often planning ahead can also save us money. This is especially true in relation to cremation pre-planning. If we agree on the answer to the question "why plan ahead?" it's easy to see the enormous value of the decision to plan ahead for cremation services.
Certainly, whenever we make the effort to plan ahead we benefit. Not only can we save ourselves precious time and energy (and let's not forget money); but there are some other real benefits in cremation pre-planning–and not just for ourselves, but for those we love.
Benefit #1:
Because you've had the foresight to plan ahead, your family will not be forced to make emotionally-difficult decisions while arranging for your final care after you're gone. There's no more difficult task than making arrangements when grief is fresh; the sorrow, confusion and fatigue can make clear, decisive thinking almost impossible. Your foresight has saved them the heartbreaking task, and given them much-needed time to share their grief and get emotional support from one another.
Benefit #2:
Since you've taken the time to plan ahead, you (and your family) will have greater peace-of-mind. Is there anything more valuable than peace-of-mind? We're reminded of the passage from Wally Lamb's book, I Know this Much is True: "If I could just write it down in a piece of paper, then maybe she could get a decent night's sleep, eat a little of her dinner. Maybe she could have a minute's worth of peace." In writing down your final wishes, you've effectively given those you love far more than a minute's worth of peace; you've given hours, days, weeks and even years of peace. How priceless a gift.
Are you ready to experience the peace-of-mind gained when planning ahead? We're ready to assist you. In fact, we've made it easy for you to plan ahead by offering you two ways to make your cremation arrangements ahead of time. You can use our online pre-arrangement planner, Pre-Arrange Online, in the privacy and comfort of your home. Or, if you feel a need for additional guidance, you can set an appointment to sit down with a professional to make your cremation pre-arrangements by calling us at 503-656-9177. Don't worry; there's no need to come into our offices; we'll be pleased to come to you.
Grieving doesn't always end with the funeral: subscribe to our free daily grief support email program, designed to help you a little bit every day, by filling out the form below.
It's hard to know what to say when someone experiences loss. Our free weekly newsletter provides insights, quotes and messages on how to help during the first year.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — In Washington state, dairymen, freshmen and even penmanship could soon be things of the past. Over the past six years, state officials have engaged in the onerous task of changing language in the state's copious laws. That includes thousands of words and phrases, many written more than a century ago when women working on police forces or on fishing boats didn't happen. That process is slated to draw to a close this year. So while the state has already welcomed "firefighters" and "police officers" into its lexicon, "dairy farmers" and "first-year students" appear to be next.

I suspect that if you dug through Marvel comics in the 1960's, you'd find a scene just like this. No idea where to look for it, though. My first guess would be Fantastic Four.

Didn't the father find a large stash of early 60's comcis that he later sold to build his man-cave?
DemetriosX Sep 2nd 2013 at 05:21 am 3
tom @2 has it. Joe found a big stash of early 60s comics in some stuff his mother was going to toss. There were a lot of relatively uncommon comics in there and they sold the collection for quite a bit. After some discussion about who should get the money — Joe because he found the comics or Frank because they were his — they wound up using it to build a man-cave for Frank. It does have an early 60s vibe, though, with that flagstone fireplace and all. It's also pretty darn big for the basement of a house in Philadelphia owned by a retired cop.

I'd mostly forgotten the details of that storyline, since it was last year; thanks, DemetriosX. Now the remaining question is: Why did Joe, when asked by Crunchy who did the work, respond with the guys who 'financed' it?
Molly J Sep 2nd 2013 at 09:50 am 5
Also, if someone could explain why this is funny? Thanks.
Targuman Sep 2nd 2013 at 10:25 am 6
@tom has it of course and it is funny because Crunchy wants to know who built it, who actually did all the work. Joe is pointing out that they were able to HIRE someone to do the work thanks to Lee and Kirby.

I thought maybe it was Joss Whedon's house.

Here is a guy who just paid for his daughter's wedding with an Amazing Spider-Man #1.

"Who did the work?" Stan Lee and Jack Kirby did the work - the comics. The guys found them and sold them to pay for the man cave. They did not do any work to earn the money to pay for it.
Brings to mind the story of The Little Red Hen, although these guys are enjoying the fruits of someone else's labor.

I've got some old comics in boxes in the attic. But I know I also occasionally have mice in the attic. I'm kind of afraid to get one of the boxes and open it; the contents might be shredded to bits.
Ian Osmond Sep 2nd 2013 at 07:39 pm 11
Mark in Boston @ 10: You may as well look. The damage is done or it's not — Schrodinger's Cat doesn't apply for rodent damage, since the mice would already have observed it.

Was Iron Man a Kirby creation? I would think the expansive play room would be much more likely to be found in his book, as Iron Man was rich and liked to flaunt it. While Reed must have had money to take over several floors of the Baxter building, he would have invested more into research than comforts.
Narmitaj Sep 4th 2013 at 08:29 am 13
Apologies for mentioning this again when probably you've already mentioned it before here, but anyway, this plus Mark in Boston's comment reminded me of the UK artist who ruined £20,000 worth of comics first editions he found in a skip by turning them into a papier mâché sculpture.
Bob Sep 4th 2013 at 11:21 am 14
It makes perfect sense if you also read this strip from two weeks earlier:
Mark in Boston Sep 4th 2013 at 05:56 pm 15
If the sculptor hadn't retrieved the first-edition comics from the skip (Dumpster) they would have gone to the landfill, so I can't say it's his fault the comics were ruined. He just missed an opportunity to get a lot of money.
Were they actually first editions? From the article it seems as though they were all the first numbers of their titles, like Avengers #1. From time to time those are available as reproductions. If I found a pile of comics, each the rarest number of its title, I would assume they were all reissues with little resale value.
Keynote Sep 6th 2013 at 12:02 am 16
Actually, the older feller kinda looks like Kirby. I wonder if he's an intentional homage, a la Lt. Turpin in the Superman cartoon:
Bob Sep 6th 2013 at 10:52 am 17
@Keynote: You're right, he does look like Jack. But Crunchy has been a regular character in the strip for years, long before the Lee & Kirby jokes started, so I doubt it.
Meryl A Sep 8th 2013 at 01:48 am 18
Stan Lee also has a number of movie appearance, mostly as himself or in quick cameos to his credit.
BeckoningChasm Sep 9th 2013 at 11:13 am 19
It looks like the layout of Avengers mansion, or the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building;;ie, everything in one big room with no dividing walls.

It's been such a 'birdie' beginning of summer! We had Western Tanagers migrating through our area and they are such beautiful eye- candy that all one could do was stop and look at them.
Unfortunately, one of the males flew into my neighbor's patio door so hard that it obviously had a concussion. We tried to revive it with diluted orange juice in a syringe. My neighbor, Phoebe, and I emailed each other through the day. "Henry is safely installed in our AZ room in the aquarium with a small maple branch, water, o.j. and seeds. He hasn't taken more juice, but has moved around, out of the box a couple of times.
Keep the fingers crossed!" Sometime in the night our patient (Phoebe named him Henry) gave up the fight and he was buried in the yard under a rock.
This was the first time I had the privilege of actually holding a wild bird. He was so light and his feathers were such beautiful colors. Quite the nature experience and of course, sad.
Soon after that Peter and I went to Kansas City Mo to visit my brothers and their families for a week. We really packed lots of activities in along with the visiting. During the week Peter and I actively kept track of birds and we saw (and photographed some) 51 different species.
|Baltimore Oriole
|Brown-headed Cowbird
|Northern Mocking Bird
|Blue Jay
George and Sue, my younger brother and his wife, have planted an adult size 'fairy garden' in their back yard. It has solar flower and gazing ball lights, a variety of plants and trees and many different bird feeders. It was such fun to sit with our binoculars and cameras and enjoy it all.
David and Dorothy, my older brother and his wife, live in Kansas and they too have been working on their yard. New patio in the back, new fountains (made by my brother), mulching going on in the yard and a lovely gazebo on the hill in back.
Peter and I came home to our pine trees in the forest and the first think I did was to fill the bird feeders and clean the deck.
I'm been thinking how different we are and yet so much alike. It is so much fun to see how we all extend the interiors of our homes to the outside and incorporate nature.

Hatchet Jobs: Writings on Contemporary Fiction
by Dale Peck
228pp, The New Press, £13.95
The reason why you're hearing about this book is simple: Dale Peck once wrote a spectacularly nasty review of a Rick Moody novel, a review so grossly unfair that Peck became notorious. Recalling this in the introduction to Hatchet Jobs , he begins: "In July 2002, I raised a ruckus in the publishing world when I..." Note the dramatic spotlighting of Peck's date with history, the reference to a "world" that he managed to disturb, the use of "I" twice in his book's first breath. Hatchet Jobs is marketed as an evisceration of the lazy writing that infests contemporary fiction, but more than anything else it is a clamorous display of ego.
Peck maintains that "there are two strains of literature currently in vogue... recherché postmodernism and recidivist realism - and both of them, in my opinion, suck". Discount the adolescent pugnacity of that last verb, and you're left with the quite commonplace critical notion that the novel is in the doldrums, an enervated art form in desperate need of new directions. Peck rejects the amorphous experimentalism of David Foster Wallace and other heirs of Pynchon as a dead end, insisting that stories must be tightly plotted, credible and emotionally involving. But when such stories are on offer, they stick in his craw, for aren't they merely resuscitations of outmoded forms, unworthy of the contemporary era? And so his dissatisfactions cruise a circular route.
The typical Peck review lambasts not just a newly published work but the 20th-century antecedents Peck considers to blame for it. "Sometimes even I am overwhelmed by the extent of the re-evaluation I'm calling for, the sheer fucking presumptuousness of it. The excision from the canon, or at least the demotion in status, of..." Whereupon he submits his blacklist - typed, he assures us, with shaking hands. The canon-mongering that serves as a pleasant hobby for the likes of Harold Bloom is thus transformed into a high-octane Olympic challenge.
First, though, there's a score to settle with Sven Birkerts, a fellow critic who dared grumble that Peck's reviews "subtly degrade the profession". Peck responds with a 36-page extravaganza of scorn, of which the following is only one of several climaxes: "Or, to put it another way (ready Sven? I've been saving this one up...), with friends like this, literature needs an enema. Ooh, that was probably a bit much, huh?"
Purged of his need to squash Birkerts, Peck tackles a pile of recent novels whose outrageous awfulness he feels has been covered up by a conspiracy of hype. To be honest, the line-up amounts to nobody's idea of the best novels written in the past decade, and many of these books suffered their share of dubious reviews. Peck's own objections are often frustratingly difficult to pin down. Black writers don't write about blackness in the right way. (What way is that? Peck doesn't say.) Gay writers betray their gayness by being too gay, or not gay enough, or something. Moody ("the worst writer of his generation") misuses dashes. Whenever Peck quotes a passage in order to demonstrate how bad it is, he tends to focus on (debatable) linguistic imperfections. What others would call style he rejects as illiteracy or redundancy; he cannot see the point of any words he himself would not have used. What galls him most, perhaps, is that this "crap", this "bullshit", this "rotting flesh", is peddled by a smug elite of authors whose "massive literary advances and domination of display and review space have crowded out competitors".
"Competitors"? In the 1990s, before his breakthrough as a critic, Peck wrote three novels. Hatchet Jobs might therefore be shrugged off as sour grapes. But there's more to it than that. There is idealistic passion, and there are glimpses of insight. Peck's analysis of the queasy misogyny in Philip Roth's American Pastoral is worthy of Camille Paglia when she is most in control. Elsewhere, there is the odd aperçu worth pondering, such as "soullessness in fiction is hard to come by (most bad writing actually suffers from too much soul)". Typically, though, once the thought-pro voking assertion has been made, the application falters. Damning Julian Barnes as uniquely soulless, Peck describes a glib tepidity of which dozens of other middle-class English authors could be accused. A sharp appraisal of Kurt Vonnegut's "cult" status evaporates when Peck "cannot imagine the use" of analysing the books in depth, since he knows that nobody will be listening.
It bothers Peck that his broadsides have got him branded as merely malicious. He longs to be "read seriously, by which I mean holistically", but concedes that "mud-slinging is just more fun to read than a discussion of how stream-of-consciousness narration renders synaptic processes in prose". What he doesn't admit is that mud-slinging is more fun to write. Unfair, extreme statements come easy, whereas fair, moderate ones take effort. Crafting a piece of criticism that is not just true but also succinct, and not just succinct but also elegant, is hard work. Whenever one's discourse grows tired, insults suggest themselves as a way of injecting pep. But a wicked putdown can dazzle the reader's better judgment, can make a great book seem small, can make a brave artist seem contemptible, and that is why reviewers should resist the temptation.
Challenged by Peck's "gut feeling" about Moody's The Black Veil ("if you honestly don't believe it's bad then you're part of the problem"), I bought and read it. Duly branded part of the problem, I was curious to know what might qualify as the solution, so I bought and read two of Peck's own novels. Both were intense, wearying, fitfully brilliant expressions of sexual angst. Only by ignoring their merits and focusing exclusively on their flaws could a critic dismiss them as "bad". Peck is such a critic. I'm the kind who believes that fiction today is as unbounded and fertile a landscape as it ever was, and that our ancient friend the novel is limping along just fine.

The most frequently stolen street sign in Green Bay isn't Lombardi Avenue, Reggie White Way or Brett Favre Pass.
The distinction goes to a short street on the city's southwest side. Its name brings to mind the helmet-style haircut of the 1980s, (speaking of, don't forget voting starts tomorrow at jackfmseattle.com for your favorite stylin mullet!)
Mullet Place has disappeared so many times city crews have moved it higher on the street pole and out of reach. It costs about $50 to $60, including labor, for the city to replace signs.

A new book on Dark Age Warwick has just been published by the district council to coincide with the town's 1,100 year anniverary.
The illustrated book has been written by heritage and arts manager Jeff Watkin, who is responsible for the current exhibition in St Mary's Church which runs until September 28.
But Mr Watkin doesn't only tell readers about Aethelflaed, the warrior queen credited with founding a riverside fortification at a place known as Waeringwicum.
He also explains the story behind the legendary Guy of Warwick - a tenth century romantic hero adopted three centuries later by the earls of Warwick - who changed their family name to match.
And talking of namesakes the short book also includes photographs taken from a souvenir programme of the famous Warwick Pageant of 1906. In one tableau performers pay tribute to the 14 other Warwicks which by the turn of the century had sprung up in America and the Colonies.
But who was Aethelflaed? And was she really the founder of modern-day Warwick back in 914?
Among the evidence studied by Mr Watkin is some for much earlier settlements, including one in existence before the Roman conquest. Other documents hint of a Christian minster long before the arrival of the Wessex daughter of King Alfred the Great.
He said: "It was an enjoyable challenge to research the early history of Warwick. It has been suggested that Aethelflaed may have re-fortified an old Iron Age hillfort near Priory Park, but to date there is no conclusive evidence of earthworks.
"Unlike York or Winchester, archaeology in Warwick has so far done little to clarify exactly where and when the town originated."
Certainly the name Waeringwicum had evolved into something very close to Warwick by the time of the Domesday Book of 1086 and proof of how the town prospered during the 10th and 11th centuries.
Aethelflaed had became Lady of the Mercians when she was married, around the age of 16, to the much older Aethelred, earl of Mercia.
The pair had one surviving daughter - but her birth was said to have given the warrior queen so much trouble that she ever after refused the embraces of her husband.
A chronicle written 200 years after her death reports Aethelflaed declaring it was "unbecoming of the daughter of a king to give way to a delight which, after a time, produced such painful consequences."
Instead she built forts to fend off the Vikings.
Dark Age Warwick & The Warrior Queen costs £5 from Warwick Books + other shops.

The Virginia Outdoors Foundation permanently protected 26,375 acres of open space through 127 conservation easements in 2012-a rate of more than three acres every hour.
"I applaud the efforts of the Virginia Outdoor Foundation and VOF Board Chairman, Charles Seilheimer," said Governor Bob McDonnell. "VOF is a key player in working to conserve Virginia's many beautiful open spaces. When we conserve more open space we make Virginia an even better place to work, expand a business, and raise a family."
"It's a win-win when private landowners partner to conserve open space, working farms and forests," said Doug Domenech, Virginia's Secretary of Natural Resources. "We all benefit from enjoying Virginia's natural beauty. It's good for the environment as well."
VOF recorded easements in 53 localities, including its first two easements in the City of Covington, which protect nearly a mile of a state-designated native brook trout stream, contain portions of a public hiking trail, and border the George Washington National Forest.
Smyth County had the most open space protected with 2,569 acres on five easements.
The 2012 easements include about 120 miles of streams, 11,000 acres of U.S. Department of Agriculture-designated high quality farm soils, and 1,700 acres along state-designated scenic roads and rivers, among other conservation values.
VOF now protects about 675,000 acres- more than 1,000 square miles-across 107 localities. That is an area three times larger than Shenandoah National Park. Roughly 75 percent of the acreage lies within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Conservation easements are voluntary agreements between private landowners and a qualified land trust such as VOF that restrict future development while allowing compatible uses such as farming, forestry, and recreation. Landowners who donate easements can receive state and federal tax benefits.
VOF was established by the Virginia General Assembly in 1966 to encourage the preservation of the Commonwealth's natural and cultural heritage lands. It operates seven regional offices in Virginia and holds more conservation easements than any land trust in the nation.

April 5, 2013 BY John Kim
One of the biggest stories of the 2012-2013 NBA Season and perhaps one of the biggest highlights of LeBron James' career is that amazing 27-game winning streak that he led the Miami Heat on over the last several weeks. Although the Heat came up short of the all-time record, LeBron knows that the only W he's looking for the is the fourth one in the NBA Finals. He'll definitely be ready and geared up with the Nike LeBron X Elite, but he'll continue to rid out the Nike LeBron X until the regular season ends in a few games. Will he wear one of his PEs? Well, he might be down a few pairs because he gave most of the game-worn pairs from his winning streak to Upper Deck, and autographed all the pairs. Is the streak one of LeBron's best career moments? Do you believe his performances pretty much locked him up as the 2013 NBA MVP? Let us know.

Thanks to MadelineAlyce for this sample!
I read the reviews just now (after drinking it) and I can totally see how the ingredients remind me of Buttered Rum by DT. Sadly though, I did not enjoy this tea :(
Something about the smell, both dry and steeped, smelled off. It reminded me a bit or something I won't mention, because I don't want to turn other people off of this tea haha, but it was not a good sense memory! The taste had a rum flavour to it, that's for sure, but I couldn't shake the bad taste – almost sourness – so I gave the rest to the boyfriend. He enjoyed it!
Thanks for the sample though <3
I think I'm going through my stage (finally) out of flavoured blacks being #1 and into the world of straight teas. Whoop! I have a lot to drink until then haha.

I just posted that under my wife's account.
My apologies to the Facebook followers of my wife but at the same time a careful 'AWARENESS' message.
Daniel Augustine
Asbestos Abatement Professional Services - 1995 -1997 Detroit Michigan
I removed asbestos from large industrial buildings for 3 years as a certified asbestos abatement professional. I went to the 'art opening' about 6 months ago. The interior conditions were deplorable and it seemed to me more of a place to give 'melanoma' to the community than any thing else. There were visible piles of asbestos that had 'rotted' off of pipes and structures. Yes amounts that are considered ' highly elevated' levels of asbestos particules in the air. Yet as they had my unknowning wife there with a host of other artists - I did stay indoors for over 10 minutes all the time worrying and considering how long the other participant had exposed themselves to such elevated levels of pure airborn 'cancer'.
I advise some arm twisting before allowing any public to re enter that build until the entire gigantic building and supporting structures has undergone a comprehensive asbestos abatement, containment, and proper disposal of all the very dangerous Asbestos!!!
Better sooner than later!
