SSDs are of course the hippest and fastest form of storage, but if you want lots of storage capacity without breaking the bank, you're still relegated to the familiar realm of the hard disk. There's still some choice out there in this category, and price are slowly creeping down even if they haven't reached the level of October, 2011 again. Hardware.Info tested and compared 25 hard disks ranging in capacity from 250 GB to 4 TB.
It's a question that keeps coming back, "when will hard disk become affordable again?" Hardware enthusiasts think back with melancholy to September, 2011, when you for £30 could buy a 1 TB hard disk. Then the heavy floods took place in Thailand, where many hard disk factories were located at the time. Prices of hard disks tripled in a matter of weeks, which affected the entire computer industry for many months to come. A year later the prices have finally started to come down again, but it seems unlikely they will reach pre-flood levels again.
A Western Digital Black 1 TB costs about £60 in September, 2011, and now the average price is £85. The most popular hard disk of last year, the Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB, back then cost £44, but now costs £57.
Case in point: the price trend of the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB

Description: D D T T The ghost of Ferris Bueller haunts Charlie Bartlett. In John Hughes' classic comedy, a wily principal chases a clever student all over Chicago. In editor-turned-director Jon Poll's darker-hued enterprise, the hero of the title (Huff's preternaturally poised Anton Yelchin) gets kicked out of private school for selling fake IDs, so his heavily-medicated mother (a reliably excellent Hope Davis) transfers her son to a public institution. Looking like a junior stockbroker in navy blazer and attaché case, he turns into a bully piñata, until he joins forces with surly dealer Murphey (Walk the Line's Tyler Hilton) to sell ... (more)

Hi there Natalia,
37.5mg as far as I know is a starting dosage and it is something that can be stepped up if needs be. Please dont be scared about starting this course. I remember what it was like starting AD's for the first time. (Although I never took Effexor, I take Zoloft) It can seem scary but it is something that quickly settles down. You also have to bear in mind that AD's take around 4-6 weeks to reach full effectiveness so the process of building the meds up in your system is gradual and any problems should come to the surface before they turn into big problems.
Hopefully there will be other people here to share their experiences of effexor.
Hi Sheryl,
I noticed that you take prozac too. That was a weight gainer for me. I think that I have gained on effexor too.
Have a wonderful day
hugs, Karen
Hi Danielle and Welcome to HealingWell!
You can start your own topics for discussion as well by clicking on "NEW TOPIC" on the main depression page (At the top of the screen)
As for drinking and meds... im with Sheryl. Alcohol is a depressant, Effexor in an anti-depressant. Alcohol undoes all the good work that the Effexor does.
We would love to hear more from you and get to know you, as Karen has said.
All the best

Los Angeles: Actor Tom Hardy has become a father for the second time.
The 38-year-old, who already has seven-year-old son Louis with former girlfriend Rachael Speed, has welcomed his first child with wife Charlotte Riley, 33, reports dailymail.co.uk.
However, the sex of the child is yet to be disclosed.
Hardy, who got married to the "Edge of Tomorrow" actress in July 2014, announced the couple was having a baby together when Riley flaunted her baby bump as she walked the red carpet with him for the Britain premiere of his new movie in London last month.
"Being a father has given me the kind of purpose that makes you think more carefully about how you live your life," he said at that time.
"I made a lot of mistakes and I put my mum and dad through a lot because they were so worried about me."

Americans Want to Walk
Americans are parking their cars and stepping up to walkable communities—and increasingly, they don't mind giving up some living space to do so, a new report finds.
Despite Americans' historically strong preference for single-family homes, a majority (53%) polled in a survey for the National Association of Realtors® said they'd be OK living in neighborhoods with smaller properties, if that means they can walk, rather than drive, to stores and restaurants. In 2015, only 49% would have made the trade-off of living in a condo, apartment, or townhouse in order to be in a walkable community.
It's the first time the number has gone over the halfway mark since NAR started doing these surveys a decade ago. Are Americans falling out of love with their automobiles?
The desire for walkability is particularly strong among the oldest and youngest groups polled. Of those born before 1944, 55% liked the idea of being in a walkable community, while 62% of millennials (born in 1981 or after) felt the same way.
"The desire for walkable communities is becoming more deeply rooted," says Hugh Morris, manager of smart growth programs for NAR.
Morris speaks from experience—he and his family live in a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood in Washington, DC.
"For me, one of the joys is when I'm walking around and doing errands, I have spontaneous encounters with people I know who live in the neighborhood," Morris says. And since his children go to the neighborhood public school, most of their friends are within walking or biking distance.
Older people's preference for pedestrian-friendly lifestyles may be related to their concerns about driving as they age. Morris again points to his own family. His mother gave up driving, but she can still walk to the library, the drugstore, and the grocery store, he says.
There's one group that still prefers larger homes with big yards, even if that means more driving: 60% of respondents with school-age children favor more conventional suburban living.
But overall, the more walkable a community, the happier residents say they are with their quality of life, the survey found. And 6 in 10 of those surveyed say they'd pay at least a little more to be in a walkable community.
The survey polled 3,000 Americans in the nation's 50 largest metro areas in September.

April 25, 2007 -- For two years, Sumter County's been trying to catch 54-year-old Bill Holloway. The pool cleaner from Andersonville has four outstanding warrants for bad checks and failure to appear.
He's also supposed to stand trial for shooting a pregnant woman. Investigators say during a family feud in July 2003, Holloway fired a gun and a bullet hit a pregnant family member.
She survived, and Holloway was booked for aggravated assault, but he skipped out in 2005, before standing trial. If you recognize Bill Holloway, a large man, 6'2", 235 pounds, please call the Sumter County Sheriff's Office in Americus.

There's no doubt that Mesut Ozil's winning goal in Arsenal's Champions League encounter against Ludogorets Razgrad was a phenomenal piece of skill.
However, for those Gunners fans who have watched the German midfielder week in, week out since his arrival back in 2013, the fact he was able to completely bamboozle three of his opponents at once won't actually have come as too much of a surprise.
That's because Ozil has been producing moments of magic on a fairly regular basis over the past three years. But which moments, in particular, can compete with 'that goal' vs Ludogrets?
Here are five frankly outrageous pieces of skill that are certainly right up there...
Ozil's close control is almost as fabled as his ability to set up goals for his teammates and, even though his opponents know it, there is often very little they can do to stop him leaving them red-faced.
That's exactly what happened in last season's FA Cup semi final against Watford when Hornets defender Nathan Ake was very nearly left on his behind after Ozil produced the near perfect nutmeg.
Dead ball specialist
One way to stop Mesut Ozil is to foul the fleet-footed German. The only problem with that is Arsenal's number 11 isn't half bad when it comes to delivering the perfect free-kick.
He has a number of assists and goals courtesy of dead ball situations but perhaps his most spectacular came against Liverpool in April 2015.
The view from the stands shows just how brilliant it really was...
King of assists
Choosing Mesut Ozil's best assist in an Arsenal shirt is a thankless task. As any Gooner will tell you, he has had more than his fair share of them.
However, the ball he laid on for Oliver Giroud against Aston Villa during the 2014/15 season was another level altogether.
Outside of the boot flick? Check. Volleyed pass? Check. Perfect weighed of pass? Check. Something very few other players in the world would attempt? Check.
For the most part, every skill, trick or pass Ozil produces is usually done with one goal in mind - helping Arsenal win.
Sometimes, though, the Germany international does something simply because he can.
That's exactly what he did in Arsenal's recent victory over Chelsea where, for no particular reason other than to give the Emirates faithful another reason to cheer, Ozil whipped out a perfectly executed no-look pass to dumfound Nemanja Matic.
The full package
So far we've seen individual pieces of skill and expertly weighted passes. The best thing about Ozil, however, is his ability to combine them both into one near unstoppable passage of play.
The below video sums that up perfectly as he leaves several West Brom players in his wake before delivering one of the most inviting balls into the box that you're likely to see.
There are, of course, plenty of other standout moments in Ozil's Arsenal career to date. Let us know if we've missed your personal favourite?
Oh and don't think we'd leave without giving you another chance to see the German's latest jaw-dropping piece of skill. This time in slow motion...

Laura was a child, a six year old, little girl.
She had no idea why she'd been taken from her mummy, or where she was going.
Her new friend was nice enough, but Laura really missed her home.
Luckily, she was too young to realise exactly what was about to happen to her.
Her mother was distraught. Being told that you will never see your daughter again is unimaginable. That's not something you can ever recover from.
This is a novel in the acclaimed Hedge & Cole thriller series.
(The Cuba Cage story concludes in this book, but the main characters are set to return in future exploits).
Cole is a tough, ex-military man. He's the sort of person that trouble and danger seem to follow, wherever he goes. He can be ruthless when he needs to be. And he often finds the need.
Hedge is a reluctant hero. Plagued with anxieties and haunted by flashbacks, he is not the type of lead character that you would normally expect. This novel is refreshingly different in that respect.
It's going to be their toughest assignment yet, but getting anything close to a good outcome just doesn't seem very likely.
This is not one for the faint-hearted!
Kevin Bradley once again shows how to mix fast paced action, with suspense and intrigue. This novel will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

This was the original cat slow feeder on the market! Your cat will have to think in order to eat. It's natural for cats to search for food. Big cats in the wild use their sense of smell in a daily food search, according to most behaviorists.
This feeder also gives your cat a challenge. Mental stimulation is important for cats. A bored cat can get destructive, so you want to make sure to provide your cats with plenty of environmental enrichment. This feeder does exactly that!
Aikiou changed their cat bowl: this redesign includes more tubes for your kitty to enjoy! There's also a new surface, with a new organic design that you will appreciate. It is perfect for kitty's...ahem...weight problems. Because it slows the speed at which your cat eats, it will help reduce chances of weight problems. Also helps with digestion. Because of the way these bowls are built, they can help prevent bloating and vomiting in cats since they eat at a slower pace. Since this is how cats would normally eat in nature, this feeder is part of a healthy feeding experience.
How does it work? A basic start: Start with the basic arrangement of the tubes, and increase the difficulty as your cat figures it out. Easier to clean: Like every product Aikiou makes, just disassemble and put in the dishwasher. Follow your cat's rhythm: Just add the different tubes and change them to adjust to the new challenge.
Is this product safe? Aikiou uses only polypropylene to make sure there will not be any BPA or BHT problems. Aikiou tests all their pet products for lead with ASTM norms, just like children's toys and bottles. Compared to others, Aikiou makes sure the plastic will not create sharp edges if broken. It's easy to clean, too! Aikiou only makes products that are dishwasher safe.

On June 2, 2016, the EBA published a decision, dated May 31, 2016, on data for supervisory benchmarking under the Capital Requirements Directive. The CRD requires that regulators monitor the range of risk-weighted exposure amounts or own funds requirements, including those relating to transactions in benchmark portfolios resulting from the internal approaches adopted by firms. Regulators are also required to assess, at least annually, the quality of the relevant approaches adopted by institutions. In performing this function, regulators receive benchmarking information and data in accordance with the Benchmarking Implementation Regulation. The EBA is required under the CRD to assist regulators in their assessment with regard to supervisory benchmarking. The Decision follows publication of the amended technical standards on benchmarking of internal approaches and requires regulators to submit data for the 2016 benchmarking exercise. Following delay in the EU's adoption of the Benchmarking Implementation Regulation, the EBA has repealed its previous decision on the topic and replaced it with this decision.
The EBA decision requires regulators to submit to the EBA supervisory and supervisory benchmarking data. Regulators shall submit such data for firms permitted to use internal approaches for the calculations of risk weighted exposure amounts or own fund requirements (except for operational risk). A list of such firms was published. When submitting data to the EBA, regulators will warrant that the data has undergone rigorous internal controls and quality checks. The EBA may conduct additional validations and checks to ensure consistency and may require revisions from regulators.
All data submitted to the EBA, according to the Decision, will be covered by the EU legal framework of professional secrecy and confidentiality, as applicable to the EBA. The Decision states that the EBA will issue annually a calendar including submission dates for regulators, and that regulators must submit all 2015 supervisory and supervisory benchmarking data within 10 business days after June 30, 2016. The Decision entered into force on May 31, 2016.
The Decision is available at:
http://www.eba.europa.eu/documents/10180/1481538/EBA+DC+156+%28Decision+on+Data+for+Supervisory+Bench marking%29.pdf and the EBA list of firms is available at: http://www.eba.europa.eu/documents/10180/15926/EBA+list+of+institutions+for+the+purpose+of+supervisory+bench marking+%28June+2016%29.pdf.

Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4 KitKat Update Leaked
The Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4 KitKat update has leaked in the form of a new ROM.
Sam Mobile posed up a leaked version labeled N9005XXUENA6 for the phablet and describes it as one of the final Android 4.4.2 KitKat test builds for it. This basically means that nothing will be excluded or included in future builds of Android 4.4 aside from some bug fixes and other small improvements.
The site also confirmed that Samsung would be rolling out the official update in one to two weeks.
Unofficial ROMs should be downloaded with caution as they can sometimes void the warrantee or cause owners to lose their settings and other software.
The first credible Galaxy Note 4 rumor surfaced last week revealing that the next-generation model could feature a three-sided display.
Samsung's Executive VP of the mobile division Lee Young Hee recently interviewed with Bloomberg and confirmed that the new device could feature this type of advanced display thanks to the company's closer relationship with Gorilla Glass maker Corning.
An earlier patent application submitted by Samsung also pointed to the company going with this three-sided touchscreen.
Samsung's 2014 flagships which includes the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 could also end up featuring chips with 4GB RAM.
Last month the company announced the development of the industry's first 8GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM chip which is denser, faster, and more energy efficient than any of the products currently found on the market.
The new memory chip is built on a 20-nm class process which allows manufacturers to reach a capacity of 1GB of RAM on a single die. Smartphone makers will be able to give their devices 4GB of RAM by combining four of these chips.


text: Note to self - when using a green chroma key background, dolls that glow luminescent green are perhaps not the best choice for the foreground! On the other hand my animated bats might not be up to the standards of Studio Gibli (not quite) but I was pleased with them. The bats were made in GIMP and animated as if they were going to be rendered as GIF,s but then I captured the preview using "RecordMyDesktop". Although the wing flapping animation was done this way, the bats are moved about the screen using OpenShot's "layout" properties. The mist was also made in GIMP. I made along wavy line that was semitransparent and imported the PNG into OpenShot and used the "layout" to make it move left to right. As the PNG reached the end I dissolved it into the next one and layered it with different speeds of the same video. I then re-imported that video into the main project and made it semitransparent. The dolls of course were not animated - I relied on the dancing ability of Yasmina, Jade, and Sashabella!

2009 Education Tax changes
Welcome Back
As I pointed out in my introduction post, the 2009 tax season is rapidly approaching and the busy men and women of the Internal Revenue Service have been hard at work trying to make things a little better for all of us. Last time, I pointed out that they have made some changes that allow you to keep a little more cash in your pockets this year by changing some of the rules regarding how children are treated on your return. This time I want to discuss how they are changing the rules about education expenses to help you recoup some of that monoy you spent to put your self and junior through school.
There are two education credits that are typically available for those who have to pay higher education expenses: the Hope Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. One of the exciting changes that has occurred this year is that the Hope Credit has been renamed the American Opportunity Tax Credit! Well, okay, there are more exciting changes than that, but it's good to know that you may see it listed differently on your tax return.
A Little Hope
The first question is who qualifies for the Hope credit? Well, obviously you have to be a student or be paying for a student. And that student must be enrolled at least half-time and enrolled in a degree seeking program. Does that mean that if they are an undecided student they don't qualify? No, as long as they are seeking a degree. What if I'm paying for my friends kid to go to school? Nope, it must be someone you can claim as a dependent on your taxes. One last point: they cannot have a felony drug charge on their record, that is an immediate disqualification!
Now, the changes: One of the big changes in the Hope credit is that it has been extended to apply to four years of college. In previous years, the credit was only available for the first two years of school, which I always thought was unfortunate because most students drop out in there first two years, so those of us who stayed with it didn't get a tax benefit for our education. That's changed now.
They have also changed the definition of "qualified tuition and related expenses". Before only tuition and fees directly related to the class were deductible. The definition has been expanded to include "course materials", including books, supplies and other materials needed for school. In prior years the thought has been that only those items that were required for you to attend class would qualify. Now, any thing you use to succeed in school can be added. Just make sure you keep your receipts!
The next important item is that the limit on the credit has been raised to $2,500 from $1,800 last year. And if you are a student in a "Midwestern disaster zone", that limit is raised to $3,600. And the credit is gradually reduced for filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) between $80,000 and $90,000 and joint filers with AGI between $160,000 and $180,000. Once you're above those limits, you may not take the Hope credit.
Lastly, remember that 40% of the Hope credit is now a refundable credit, which means that you can receive up to $1,000 even if you owe no taxes. However, if you are caring for a child who is under age 18,or a student who is at least age 18 and under age 24 and whose earned income does not exceed one-half of his or her own support, who has at least one living parent, and who does not file a joint return, you cannot take the tax credit. In other words, if you are claiming a child that could be claimed by the child's parent, you cannot claim the credit. If this section sounds confusing, it is and you should talk with a tax professional to check your situation.
Will you be claiming an education credit?
A Lifetime of Learning
What do you do if you have already used up your Hope credit? Or maybe you are going back to school less than half time and don't qualify for the Hope credit? Is there any tax credit available for you?
Yes, the federal government recognizes that learning is a lifelong process and for those of use who are continuing our education have the Lifetime Learning credit available to us. It isn't as large a credit as the Hope, capped at $2,000 in expenses per year. And the income cap is lower, with the credit being gradually reduced for those with an AGI of $50,000 to $60,000 for single filers and $100,000 to $120,000 for those filing jointly.
So what is the benefit? Well, for one, there is no limit on the number of years you can take this credit. Take it every year of your life, as long as you're in an eligible school. There's no requirement that you get a degree or anything, so if you want to take a class in literature, just for fun, take it, and use the lifetime credit for the deduction. You're also about to ask me why you should take the Lifetime credit over the tuition and fees deduction. If you fall under the income guidelines, the Lifetime credit is going to put more money in your pocket in the end. The deduction is there for when you creep over that income limit.
Are all education expenses covered, like the Hope credit? No, it is still limited to tuition and fees. Any other questions? Then let's move on.
Some Other Issues
Student Loan Interest Deduction
For those of us who have made it through school on student loans, did you know that the interest you pay on those loans is deductible? Your loan servicer will send you a form annually stating how much interest you paid during the year. The only significant change this year is in the phase out limits.
In 2009, the amount of the student loan interest deduction is reduced if your filing status is married filing jointly and your modified adjusted gross income is between $120,000 and $150,000. You cannot take the deduction if your modified AGI is $150,000 or more. For everyone else, your student loan interest deduction is phased out if your modified AGI is between $60,000 and $75,000 and eliminated for those who make more.
Education Savings
Bond Exclusion
A similar issue arises with holders of Education Savings Bonds. Typically the interest earned on these bonds is tax-free for those whose income is below a certain level. For 2009, the amount of that exclusion is phased out if your filing status is married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er) and your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is between $104,900 and $134,900.
And that wraps up my discussion on education credits. Once again I want to remind you that I am not a tax professional and that this information is for informational purposes only. I always suggest talking with a tax professional in order to get the best advise for your tax situation. And as always, I welcome comments and questions .

The Falcons lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in a heart breaker by a score of 27-14 in a highly contested game on the road, coming off their bye week. The Falcons had a chance late to come back down 20-14. But due to a controversial call on a punt return by Adam Jennings, the Eagles were given the ball back and with a 39-yard run by Brian Westbrook, the Eagles put the game out of reach with less than 2 minutes to go.
Matt Ryan led the Falcons with 277 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, while completing 23 of 44 passes. One of Ryan's turnovers came at an inopportune time as the Falcons had been driving all the way to the Eagles' 2-yard line, but a pass attempt to Roddy White in the endzone was picked off by Lito Sheppard. Michael Turner was the team's leading rusher with 58 yards on 17 carries. White proved to be the team's primary offensive weapon on the day and had 8 catches for 113 yards and 2 touchdowns. Jerious Norwood added 5 grabs for 55 yards.
Defensively Westbrook gave the Falcons a handful, rushing for 167 yards and 2 scores and also having 42 receiving yards and 6 catches. Chauncey Davis led the team with 6 tackles. Curtis Lofton (3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble), Michael Boley (5 tackles), Keith Brooking (5 tackles), Erik Coleman (5 tackles), Jamaal Anderson (2 tackles, 1 sack), Lawyer Milloy (5 tackles), and Domonique Foxworth (3 tackles) had notable contributions.
Jason Elam had no field goal attempts. Michael Koenen punted 7 times for an average of 38.4 yards with 5 placed inside the 20-yard line. Jerious Norwood had 4 kickoff returns for an average of 17 yards, while Jennings had 4 punt returns for an average of 5.5 yards. With 2:28 to go in the 4th quarter, Jennings attempted to field a punt but at the last second pulled off. The Eagles recovered what was initially believed to be a muffed punt. However, since the Falcons were out of timeouts they were unable to challenge the play and the Eagles took possession at the Falcons 37-yard line. Two plays later, Westbrook ran the ball in for a score to essentially end the game. The Falcons got the ball back with less than 2 minutes to go, and were able to drive the ball 52 yards into Eagles territory before turning it over on downs.
Next week the team hopes to bounce back against the Oakland Raiders (2-5), again on the road. The Falcons have lost their last two road games against the Raiders, and are 0-3 all-time when playing at the Oakland Coliseum. The Falcons have yet to lose two games in a row this season, but are 1-3 on the road this season.

9/11 was not a inside job
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|6 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|12,584 times
|Debate No:
My arguments against the conspiracy about 9/11:
1. There was no controlled demolition
2. Our government had no reason to cause 9/11
3. Why would they use thermite which cuts steel without announcing it, then switch to explosives? To tip people off?
4. Our government was not prepared for the attacks does not mean they were involved.
If my opponent would like to add his/her own arguments please do so
The Spanish American war was sparked by a Spanish mine that sunk the USS Maine. The U.S. people had an outcry and the war was raged. McKinnely stated that this was an attack. After the war, investigations proved that no Spanish mine sunk the ship. That was a lie that in time rendered as one. It would be a conspiracy for anyone in that timeframe to state that a Spanish mine did not take down the ship. If any one thought of the conspiracy that no Spanish mine took down the USS Maine in that time period they would be looked at as a crazy conspirator, when infact that person was truthful. A nice a virtue to have.
The Gulf of Tonkin dilemma. It is now a fact that Johnson lied about the torpedoes and who knows what. But what is known is that 58,000 U.S. soldiers died and a ton were subject to the harshness of the jungles, mountains, rivers, oceans except for the fortunate sons as CCR would put it. As daddy, the money man or the politician would lie, they were in the cozy blanket of truth when they went night-night. And for the Vietnam vets not that I am a patriot, but there was no hand out of PTSD and love by the people as today there is plenty of high salutes to current vets. Plenty of people fresh off the plane from Vietnam were spit on returning home after being spit on by the government. Today that is not the case and I know for a fact how a veteran gets treated today.
The above was to point out a few lies that the U.S. government has been caught in the cookie jar not just once but many times. The government is composed out of people. People do lie. Sometimes lying is for the better interest of the common good. Now I would like to tell a 12 year old nephew venturing off to middle school that Santa is not real before an 8th grader tells him, and that reaction he will have is one that many U.S. citizens might have if someone gave them a document called the Truth, not that I have one, but 9/11 is not so black and white.
The government knew about 9/11 or they did put their hand in the cookie jar, wait….again, but for a tasty fresh cookie that is gooooood.
Now many people think that when a plane goes missing in U.S. airspace it would need a high-level security clearance before a jet is allowed to engage and kill that lost plane (goes of radar, a threat, whatever). That is false but on the 1st of June 2001 the rules changed. Now for a jet to engage any missing plane, hijacked plane, a friendly plane, or a plane that is of a threat that is looking to blow something up would need approval from Rumsfield which was the secretary of defense at the time to destroy the plane, Cheney, or Bush who was in Florida. It was called the "Derelict Airborne Objects". That is a bit odd, that the law was changed that summer prior to the event. Rumsfield is also known for the restructurization and the enhancing of today's U.S. military, where it is more job like and professional (like going to work for X company or firm). Like Nero who rebuilt his city, Rumsfield did take part in modeling a distinct military of today's age. (Though with Nero some historians believe that he did burn down his city or allowed the great fire to happen so he can remake it. Other historians do not, but that is irrelevant to this though. The Christains were still eaten by the wolves and his historic baths and fountains were erected anyway).
Need an adobe reader for the document above.
Now Cheney was on the record stating that he did order the remaining lost planes to be shot down. That was on the record for the citizens to hear…but is that the truth? Cheney ordered the jets not to engage, even after the first plane hit the tower, and it was obvious if other planes are missing where must they be headed? Obviously to blow something up and the planes were full of fuel on that morning making the boom like boooooooom.
Now in the video Mineta was a transportation secretary back in 2001. Mineta testified that Cheney ordered the jets to not engage unless he states for the jets to engage.
Now that was established, I would like to view footage demolition of a department store. It does fall into its footprint.
Now these are people that are eyewitness to the so called "explosions".
Now regardless of what took down the towers. What is known is that the twin towers were made to take a hit from a plane bigger than the one that hit the tower. American Airlines flight 11 was a Boeing 767. A 767 by class is about a middle size for a passenger plane. The towers were designed to take a hit from a 707. From engineering point of view tower one should have been golden to take that hit from a 767 which is slightly bigger but, slower (full of gas). The man who designed it was Yamasaki who composed the buildings with the idea and the engineering capability that the towers could be hit by a plane and still be up like Grandpa who took too much Viagra.
This is building 7 was it due to a demolition, or was it due to shrapnel from the towers, or another empirical reason? Building 7 never did get hit by a plane that is for sure.
9/11 is questionable. That is a for certain. To belief everything the government tells is what the government wants citizens to do however, many questions need to have light shed on them for someone or a group to figure something out hopefully to find certainty to the real heroes, the ones that jumped out of the buildings, the once that burned alive, the ones that lost their lives in our lifetime due to 9/11. Hey a democracy is run by the people. If the people can conclude that it was inside job get out the people's rocks and its medieval style on Bush junior and company. If its not, then at least the government did not lie but, how does government not lie? Everyone lies, unless the Messiah is present within the offices.
All the things you mentioned you cant prove. The government could not hide a blue dress with a semen stain(Clinton scandal)and these are the people you think kept this massive secret ?
"All the people who would have to be involved in order to pull this massive conspiracy off."
Absolutely not. One person can change history alone and it has happened. Society is a thin line that can easily be destroyed by one person or a few.
"1.The NYC Fire fighters"
They were just pawns on the chess board. They did not need be apart of any conspiracy. They were just doing there jobs. It would also include NJ fire Fighters… Connecticut Fire Fighters, as well. Some fire fighters noticed that the government was in a giant rush to get rid of basically all of the evidence. Even the top ranking Fire Fighters would not be tipped off by the government if the government let's say was to orchestrate the attacks.
Same as 1. Average Joe going to work listening to 10-10 wins on his way. The Top Ranking NYPD Chief would be in the dark as well. If he wasn't the high command would definitely whistle blow.
"3.The NYC port Authority"
Opinion: The port Authority is a joke, I live in 10 miles from NYC. If a took a crayon and colored a badge I would pass through security as a NYC-NJ Port Authority officer.
"4.All the people in the Pentagon"
The pentagon reported that 2.3 trillion dollars went missing from the pentagon on September 10, 01. It was gone and know one knows what the government spent it on. What is known is that where the pentagon got hit was where the records would be for the 2.3 trillion dollars. The accounting field of the pentagon. The people in the pentagon were victims.
"5.The more than 1,600 widows and widowers of 9/11" and the people who died.
They were casualties of a much bigger game. If I knew that I was going to die in a plot I would not go to work that morning. They were victims. By their families in grief does not imply anything or imply that they were apart of the 9/11 conspiracy in a game to trick the U.S people in a major hoax. They were just pawns who are the real heroes. They do not have to be a part of the conspiracy.
"6.The media"
The media points two ways one being that 9/11's events were true and unfolded as such and the other being 9/11 was something that government was aware or did have something to do with it. Media can also consist of small media information, like this site. This site is not owned by Disney so forth. I have my own ideologies, not a Disney one that like a robot I will throw up.
"7.The photographers"
The photographers and 1st hand account witnesses who took picture/video had two sides. Not all photographers agree the official story of 9/11.
"8.Everyone in the NIST"
NIST reported that no controlled demolition was used. They started their investigation on Aug 21, 2002. An article in the "Open Chemical Physics Journal" that is peer reviewed found small chips of nano thermite at Ground Zero in dust samples. A Dr. by the name of Harrit (chemistry)concluded from his review that thermite was used to take down the towers and building 7. Thermite could be used for welding, or to melt iron. It can serve as an explosive, or to give off more heat. It has more energy than dynamite and is similar to rocket fuel. The rocket fuel was gone after it collided into the towers. Now with all huge fires there is explosions. Now to deem that the towers were taken down because explosions were heard would be a fallacy because they are going to occur but some of the explosions that were witnessed were not so cut and dry and did model after a demolition. But that will be brought into the debate later on. So in conclusion thermite was found at ground zero. Whether it was in the controlled computer rooms as some workers latter implyed or where ever, what is known is thermite was present.
A structural engineer in South America would not have anything to do with 9/11 so we cannot be talking the whole world and every single engineer. Many structural engineers have stated that the way the towers fell is unlikely that the 767 could knocked them down. The flammable gas was gone on impact. Now a problem many engineers face was that 4 companies who were highly monitored were contracted by the city to move the debris and steel. Even the Mafia had a hand in the debris. The building assessment team was not allowed to take any samples of the debris. This is odd that the assessment team was not allowed to assess the debris scientifically and if so would be sanctioned by the government. The evidence was shipped overseas expediently. What is the rush when so many groups want to review ground zero and the steal? It does not point to any proof other than a fact that the government was in a rush to get rid of the evidence when many independent groups wanted to do their own survey.
"10.The CIA-The FBI-FEMA"
How do you know that the CIA or the FBI was not in on the cover-up or Fema? Bush stated that they were not. The CIA and the FBI were totally aware that there was a 9-11 concern. There were many threats about the date. They just dropped the ball or let it happen, or were in on it. With the new war on terrorism is similar to the war on communism. Today the Patriot act totally violates a citizens amendments and it still occurs . Cameras all over the place for the purpose of monitoring people. 9/11 created a George Orwell 1984 environment that is simililar to the 60's communism red scare. There is more power for the FBI and the CIA to put cameras where they please and how they please. To watch people how they feel. To watch Muslim communities in NYC for no justifiable reason other than that they are Muslim (which is occurring currently). Was any high ranking members involved?
"11.American Airlines (Pentagon)"
"12.United Airlines (Pentagon)"
"13.Logan, Newark and Dulles Airport for losing the planes"
11.-13. The airport planes were high jacked that does not mean that these airports were necessarily in on the massive cover up. They in their own frame were victims of a much a bigger picture. They were in awe as much as anyone of age to be in awe if they wanted to be in trepidation.
Warnings prior to 9/11
Bush did state that if he would have known that terrorist were to hijack any planes he would move "the heavens and the earth".
Aug 2001: received a memo "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S."
The CIA (Tenet) June 2001: warns Rice but she ignored the warning.
These two are noteworthy because the 9/11 commission knew about the advisements but left it out of the report.
Israel advisement Aug 2001: Israelian agents stated in Washington that over 200 hundred terrorists are prepared for a strike against the U.S.
French advisement Feb 2001: 9 reports were sent to Washington regarding possible airplanes being used as flying bombs.
CIA asset Lindauer: Dr. Park under oath in NY Courtroom: the asset warned him that "we expected a major attack on the south part of NYC regarding the WTC, and a possible nuclear bomb." She was only defer to the Counter Terrorism office.
In conclusion the U.S. government was aware that the 9/11 attack was a possibility and an imminent threat. In the debris thermite was found regardless of how any one wants to put it.
As I said massive conspiracy because that is what would have to be if any of it were true. These people have no reason or motive to cover-up anything.......
Opponent stated:" They were just pawns on the chess board. They did not need be apart of any conspiracy. They were just doing there jobs."
Fire fighters who know more about building collapses than most, if not all, of them. It's their LIFE to know. Literally! Yet they don't call for an investigation into the MASS MURDER of over 300 of their brothers... Why? No reason to do so.
Opp stated "same reason as one"
Police department who lost over 20 lives. They didn't ask for an investigation. Motive for cover-up? None...
NYC port authority:
Who also lost personnel. Motive for cover-up none.
My opponent stated $2.3 trillion went missing(ok I will bite for the comedy in this claim). For one thing, the 2001 defense budget was only $289 billion, so even if Rumsfeld had pulled off the incredible feat of stealing every last penny, we would barely be approaching $2.3 trillion. Motive for cover-up? None.
1,600 widows and widowers:
Who would rather have investigations of the decisions which led to the terrorist getting away with this. They don't want to waste time investigating the mass murder of their loved ones simply because it was the terrorist that pulled off the mass murder. Motive? None.
The media:
This one I almost believe) who doesn't follow up on the biggest mass murder and conspiracy in American history. It seems no one wants a Nobel prize for journalism. Not only the American media but foreign press like the BBC and Al Jazeera. Why? No answer here either...
The photographers:
Photographers from around the world who took pictures of the towers which clearly show bowing of the perimeter columns. These photos support the NIST hypothesis that the sagging trusses lead to the collapse. Some photos also show the core intact shortly after collapse which also not only support the NIST hypothesis but discredits the "Controlled demolition" account.
Everyone in the NIST:
This independent organization doesn't have a moral person in hundreds of employees because not one has come out exposing this so called "Conspiracy". In fact, the hundreds of scientist who signed onto the report are willing to not only lie for Bush but cover up the largest mass murder in American history. Some suggest only a handful can do the job but that's simply impossible. The team in charge of the computer modeling has to be in sync with the team of structural engineers and so on. There are hundreds involved in this investigation and every team has to work with other teams using the same evidence and specifications.
And for the record my opponent stated "rocket fuel" which is false it was "jet-fuel"
Every structural engineer in the world who doesn't write a paper for a mainstream peer reviewed journal saying the towers were brought down and could not have fallen due to fire. If laymen can prove things just by looking at videos and reading interviews out of context, then all those structural engineers MUST be working for Bush right? Even the ones in other countries. Why? The answer they give is that the engineers don't know about Steven Jones work. So in all this time no one has e-mailed Jones' work to any structural engineer?
The CIA-The FBI-FEMA:
Even conspiracies with a few people are doomed. Look at Enron and Watergate. The more people you involve, the more likely the conspiracy will fall apart. The amount of people needed for this conspiracy could fill one of the towers. It's absurd to think this many people could keep a mass murder for Bush secret for this long.
A common excuse for no one coming out who was part of this so called "911 conspiracy" is they fear death. If you analyze the argument carefully you realize they are debunking themselves. Why would even people in the military be more fearful of exposing this than the common conspiracy theorists behind a computer monitor? Either they don't believe what they're saying or they actually think they are more fearless than the thousands of others who would have had to be "in on it". As if people in the CIA, FBI, FEMA etc. couldn't figure out how to get the message out if they wanted to without exposing who they are. People, dates, places, memos and other evidence could easily be disseminated to the public without exposing who they are. The only reason they claim the people are paralyzed with fear is because they have too in order for the conspiracy story to work.
My opponents prior knowledge argument is the same as the rest of his arguments. None of them have factual credibility to back it up.
Even if all my opponents conspiracy arguments are true(which they are not) it does not prove that 911 was an "inside job" I am sure our audience can see that.
NYPD The FDS Port Authority,
The people who compose this are people like anyone else. Some Police, some Fire people, some Port Authority folks do make the claim that 9/11 was poorly looked into by the 9/11 commission and some are spectacle of the official statement.
The Pentagon "comedy"
No one said Rumsfeld stole it. What is known is no one knows where it went, there is no receipt. If someone knows where it went please tell the authorities.
The widowers.
My colleague lost a son, and the family does not believe the official statement (They live in NJ, They can see the city (NYC) from home). Yes terrorists did take planes and flew the planes into the towers.
Structural engineers , video,NIST
there is plenty of engineers and architects that put a damper on NISTs claim. They also use photographs and video, usually the same ones.
This is just one link: poor at that but just one.
"Even conspiracies with a few people are doomed. Look at Enron and Watergate. The more people you involve, the more likely the conspiracy will fall apart. The amount of people needed for this conspiracy could fill one of the towers. It's absurd to think this many people could keep a mass murder for Bush secret for this long."
Back in WWII The CIA employed the Gehlen Organization, about 100 Nazis that helped the CIA. This was not a movie about killing Hitler or a mission of that kind. Krichbaum who deported 100s of thousands of inferiors to work or death was involved with the CIA. That was one guy but many followed suit in war crimes. This information is relatively new. If anyone stated in the 50s that they knew about the CIA working with Murderers at the time that would be deemed as so crazzzy.
Wilkes conspired to kill Lincoln and got the job done, and was eventually caught. The conspiracy to kill Lincoln was pulled of oceans 11 style. The few people that were involved pulled the conspiracy off and it did not fall apart. Wilkes was then killed by Corbett as wilkes went to a farm thinking the south would protect him.
The word conspiracy is more negative in context henceforth i stated in the begining the truth.
The initial hit, thermite discovery, The Fire, history
The two 767s with twin engines hit at 440 and 550 mph. The steel and concrete was designed to take a 707 hit at 600mph.
The buildings fell roughly within 30 mins of each other. 200,000 tons of steel 425,000 cubic yards of concrete.
No other sky scraper has ever been known to collapse due to fire and the damage caused by the fire. Keep in mind these were two steel framed buildings. The official story is that molten and an intense fuel mixture from the planes took the towers down. So in 10 seconds a plane causing a fire took down a building that fell into its own footprint. A physicist named Jones stated that a collapse from gravity without demolition makes a mockery out of the laws of physics. Hell it should be proof to a new physics book if no demolition was used. The beams that weighed over 200,000 pounds were tossed like Peyton Manning passing yards per game----over 500 yards.
Molten metal burning months and months after the initial hit was due to a plane hitting a building releasing jet fuel. Metal at over 2200 thousand degrees F. That is absurd scientfically.
Bringing in this again: thermite was found by researchers for the "open chemical physics Journal" at ground zero.
The janitor's Testimony The man with a master key to the building
Will Rodriguez ran out of the buildings and then went back in using his master key to unlock doors to save people. Testified that he and 10-15 others heard and felt an explosion that rocked the building and suspended him in the air. His boss heard the same noise before the plane hit and was jolted into the air. Rodriguez testified to the 9/11 commission.
Rodriguez: is on the no fly list by the way after he gave the commission his testimony. A person that saved other people with that key that opened up the door called life.
The 9/11 commission never put his name/testimony or any of the others he was with on the official document or even bothered to hear the others testimony.
Building 7 and others
Other buildings were way worse than building 7 from getting hit by loose metal and objects. The fires were small compared to other skyscraper fires that have taken place. The buildings around 7 never collapsed. 7 like the towers fell into its own footprint. Before the attack the alarm system was on test status. The power was shut, and mostly everyone in that building was evacuated by the time the second plane collided.
Hess report. Hess was rescued out of the 8th floor by the FDs. Fires were present on all sides of the building. A man named Hess heard a huge explosion on the 6th floor. Not just a regular normal explosion that a fire or big fire at that would make but a distinct explosion of its own kind. NISS is made out of people, and they lied to cover building 7s a**.
Building 3 was essentially not even one building but two. It was in half. Still erect.
Building 4 destroyed beyond belief. Still erect.
Building 5 severe fires, smaller than building 7
Building 6 Like 5 severe fires, smaller than building 7
Building 7 fires on only some floors. Collapsed in 6-7 seconds, 47 stories high. If 7 would have collapsed with less than severe fires, and structural damage than 3,4,5,6, why then did 3,4,5,6 not collapse, or why did 7 not collapse with less damage done scientifically?
Until round 4
Let me start this round by reiterating just because my opponent makes a statement it does not make it true/fact and is not evidence that 9/11 was a inside job. It is nothing more than a theory.
NYPD The FDNY Port Authority:
Poorly looked into which is my opponent's statement does not prove 9/11 was an inside job.
The Pentagon:
For the sake of argument if ten trillion went missing it does not prove 9/11 was a inside job.
The widowers:
Once again not proof of anything foul.
Structural engineers:
Notice the link my opponent posted which is nothing more than a website to buy a DVD and capitalize on the tragedy that was 9/11 (sickening if you ask me)
WW2 and Lincolns murder have nothing at all to do with 9/11 you are using a conspiracy to prove another conspiracy. Which is basically a circular argument if it is not the audience I am sure see my point.
******By definition a conspiracy is: A secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful****** Call it "the truth" if you want to but it is still a conspiracy.
The Twin Towers:
The complete collapse of the Twin Towers has more to do with the construction than anything else. There were a lot of firsts for the WTC. In all the history of high rise fires, not one has ever been hit with a plane traveling 500 miles an hour and had its fire proofing removed from its trusses. In all the history of high rise fires, not one has ever had its steel columns which hold lateral load sheared off by a 767. In all the history of high rise fires, not one has ever been a building which had its vertical load bearing columns in its core removed by an airliner. For Building 7, in all the history of high-rise fires, not one has ever been left for 6-7 hours with its bottom floors on fire with structural damage from another building collapse. Not the Madrid/Windsor tower did not have almost 40 stories of load on its supports after being hit by another building which left a 20 story gash. The Madrid tower lost portions of its steel frame from the fire. Windsor's central core was steel reinforced concrete. In all the history of high-rise fires, not one has ever been without some fire fighters fighting the fires. I could go on with the "Firsts" but the audience gets the drift. The statement that the WTC buildings were the first high rise buildings to collapse from fire is deceptive because it purposely doesn't take those factors into account.
Professor Steven Jones:
I assume my opponent is commenting about Professor Steven Jones much has been made of Jones' new paper. Some have suggested that I correct the statement that not one paper has been published by conspiracy theorists to date proving the collapse was a controlled demolition. To be clear, let me restate the test which makes a real scientific paper. It has to be published in a respected scientific journal. As an example, The Journal of Engineering Mechanics is a well respected scientific journal. The peer review process is tough and precise. The reviewers are well respected in their fields of expertise. The Journal of the American Chemical Society is another which Jones can submit his papers. There are many well respected journals which have an impact in the scientific community. Bentham, where Jones has submitted his latest paper, is the Wiki of Journals. They have been criticized in the past for passing "gibberish".
***read site below***
The only likely source of the heat great enough to actually "melt" significant quantities of iron in the piles (or even just raise so much of it to red-hot or to 2000F) would be chemical energy (i.e., "combustion" of some sort). Professor Jones assumes that all the carbonaceous "combustible" matter in the "piles" would have burned away long before the time that the red-hot and molten iron was discovered (weeks after the collapse of the WTC towers). Perhaps it did, by weeks after the collapse. But Professor Jones obviously does not comprehend that the hot, red-hot and molten IRON IS COMBUSTIBLE matter.
Here, Jones clearly missed it, when he wrote:
"At these temperatures, steel will melt, and aluminum materials from the buildings should continue to undergo exothermic oxidation reactions with materials also entrained in the molten metal pools including metal oxides which will then keep the pools molten and even growing for weeks despite radiative and conductive losses. ... The government reports admit that the building fires were insufficient to melt steel beams then where did the molten metal pools come from?"
Jones has no clue because he has conception of Steel Burning (iron oxidation) in air.
The Truth is that: HOT STEEL WILL CONTINUE TO UNDERGO EXOTHERMIC OXIDATION REACTIONS WHILE EXPOSED TO AIR, CAUSING IRON TO INCREASE ITS TEMPERATURE UNTIL IT MELTS, FORMING POOLS OF MOLTEN IRON.
Professor Jones' comments and conjectures about the origin of the alleged molten iron found within the three huge piles of combustible matter burning after the collapse of the WTC towers, distinctly prove that Professor Jones is oblivious of the fact that Iron Burns in air.
I found this children's educational webpage that further illustrates that "Professor Jones" (among the "9-11 Scholars") is an incompetent person because he ignores the scientifically provable (or disprovable) fact that Iron metal itself burns, and that when amassed in large piles can ignite fires (and can even melt itself). The article discusses child-safe experiments observing a very slow oxidation of iron (rusting at room temperature), but also mentions:
"Sometimes a big load of iron in a ship can get hot. The heat can even set other materials on fire. Thats because the iron is rusting, which means it is burning very, very slowly. Iron rusts in a chemical reaction called oxidation. That means the iron reacts with oxygen gas from the air. Oxidation is the chemical reaction that occurs when anything burns in air. Like most oxidations, rusting gives off heat."
Building 7 and others:
Conspiracy theorists say WTC7 is the best proof for because it wasn't hit by airliners and only had a few fires. But this is deceptive because while building 7 wasn't hit by an airliner, it was hit by the large perimeter columns of the Tower collapse. It was 400 ft away but the towers were more than 1300 ft tall. As the tower peeled open, it easily tilted over to reach building 7.
William Rodriguez:
William Rodriguez now says he heard explosions in the basement but that's not what he said before he became a media star and sued the government.
**See for yourself below**
Sounds of explosions:
Could transformers or other electrical equipment explain some of what people saw and heard? What about an acre of concrete floor slamming into another? Would steel bolts snapping under tremendous tension make a pop or explosive sound? How about the fact that two of largest buildings in the world fell. Do you honestly think anyone with an untrained ear could distinguish between a bomb and a skyscraper as they are running for their life?
My opponent has shown no proof that 9/11 was an inside because there is none. The problem with conspiracy theorists is they ask you to demolish your mental programming, but demand you replace it with their own. The result is to exchange one unproven worldview for another. And unfortunately, basing your decisions on the conviction of "knowing" is responsible for many of the world's ills. The only real truth is that it's impossible to "know" anything. And the only real method of making decisions is through probability.
Vote Pro my OPP shown nothing that will prove that 911 was an inside job....
9/11 commission was just used for biased ends
Fact 1: 6 members doubt the official story.
Max Clemen resigned "from a national scandal and it was absolutely disgusting"
Senior counsel to the commission: John Farmer wrote a book "The Ground Truth" how the truth was from the way it was rendered by the 9/11 commission. Again disgusted by the official story. Farmer's thesis was that the tapes told an extremely different point of view from what was told to the public.
Fact 2: Building 7 Emergency responders were told before that the building was about to blow up.
BBC reported that building 7 was collapsed before it fell
CNN reported that building 7 collapsed again before it fell. Other buildings as mentioned were way worse.
Fact 3 : NIST refused to test for explosions or even look into reports that the building fell from explosions.
Testimony from police, FDs that that bombs were used was ignored by NIST.
Fact 4: Drills and war games
Fighter planes were disabled by 20 different drills that day.
Vigilant Guard Four war game simulations that morning
Fact 5: FBI gag order broken: Edmunds- whistleblower
Wire taps she translated: That Bin Laden was working with the government all the way up to Sept 11.
Tim Osman was Bin Laden's code name
Fact 6: A book "Rebuilding Americas Defenses" PNAC 2000 worked closely to the Bush Admin till the end of his term in 08: Theseis: That a new Pearl harbor could bring about a new empire. A grand catastrophic event could create a new American Empire.
The Council on Foreign Relations Gary Hart: Use this disaster for a "new world order". Bush also made a speech back on Sept 11,1990 for a New World Order.
Fact 7: Returning vets, Supporters of a Third Party, Outspoken Americans, Tea Party Activists, and much more has been suspected as terrorists: Homeland Security Memos render this with statements on top statements. The police state was built for the people. Unnecessary searches, Wire taps, so forth that are occurring today.
Fact 8: The Bushs and Bin Ladens had ties through oil investments.
Fact 9 : Multiple evacuations were done in the weeks leading up to 9/11, Which is completely out of the norm for even 3 in one week. Does that tip that the Gov knew about anything? Well what is with the multiple odd evacuations?
Fact 10 Warnings : Ashcroft an attorney general was advised to not take any Passenger Jets in the months leading up to 9/11. But the Bush Admin made it clear to the public that he would move the "heavens…the earth" if he knew about any threat. Even Putin gave a warning of a possible homeland security threat to the U.S. Gov.
The Mayor of San Francisco was warned by Rice to not take any passenger planes hours before the pathetic ending for tons of people on 9/11. I stated pathetic not to offend anyone. But Aristotle defined in The Poetics that the word tragic and pathetic. So essentially the terrorists had a tragic ending and the people who died that day had a Pathetic ending. Not to offend anyone, but Newspapers constantly get the two words mixed up.
Goldman Sachs who have thick ties to the U.S. government and endorse U.S. politicians advised their employees and investing clients to stay away from any tall structures. Timothy Geithner is the U.S. treasurer who had tyes to Goldman Sachs. Who also gets bailed out…Goldman Sachs and the people fond of Goldman Sachs, during the days of the Bailouts.
Top Pentagon Leaders cancel their public flights on the early morning of 9/11.
FBI: John O'neill the former head of counter intelligence geared up to his new job that morning. Head of security of the WTC. He died that day. Perhaps O'Neill knew something for his years of work, maybe he was on the outs, nobody knows, unless someone can speak to dead people.
Bush's cousin Jim Pierce had a fortunate schedule change the night before the attack. That essentially saved his life.
The Mayor of New York was told prior on that morning that the buildings would collapse. Hence he was stating in many videos that the building will collapse. It will collapse!
Fact 11: FEMA was in town on September 10th participating in Bio war fare drills.
Fact 12: Some of the hijackers were trained rigorously in U.S military schools. http://prisonplanet.com... schools prior to 9/11.
9/11 = Iraq argument
I for one do not assert that 9/11 was done to get into Iraq. If the U.S. wanted to go into Iraq they would simply go into Iraq regardless. But like any other war there is money to be made by a select ruling few. 9/11 creates an atmosphere that is pro government to do what ever they please how they please. Whether it is to survey a citizen, or to wire taps that are occurring today regardless of the patriot act. 9/11 did get the U.S.'s foot in the door in the mid east. Money is made in war. The ties Cheney had to Halliburton, Black Water, just like Vietnam money was made and is still being made. Irronically though on the day and the days preceding there was already talk about Iraq and going into the country.
"The administration succeeded in creating a sense that there is some connection 911 and Hussein," said Kull, director of the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the Maryland University.
Fact 13: The black boxes that were found in the rumble at ground zero disappeared and the existence of these boxes is that it never did exist in the 9/11 report. This was the account of first responders who witnessed the boxes being carried off.
Pilot Training and the alleged terrorists that flew the planes into the towers and the pentagon http://www.historycommons.org....
"I could not believe he had a commercial license of any kind with the skills that he had" Chevrette AZ Flight School Manager
I am still to this day amazed that he could of flown into the Pentagon, he could not fly at all" Staff Member from AZ Aviation School
"It was like dumb and dumber, I mean they were clueless, it was clear to me they were not going to make it as pilots" - Garza Flight Teacher
Personally I am no aviation expert, I am not an expert in anything. But even a highly trained pilot would admit that the feat pulled off by these pilots were amazing. To fly a plane into the pentagon where the trillion dollar receipts were with that much skill to hit the target is breathtaking and amazing at almost street level altitude. The U.S. did in fact have the technology 20 years ago to control a Boeing remotely. That does not point to anything but how can these -subjective opinion-bums pull of the Pentagon and the towers flying past buildings with such skill. Skill as an 8000 feet drop with a 350 degree turn at the Pentagon airspace. Another oddity that is difficult to add up in the case of the Pentagon. Was the government involved in securing the job to get done? The black box, where is it? The Plane really just vaporized. O that makes scientific sense.
Truth and Knowing
"The only real truth is that it's impossible to "know" anything. And the only real method of making decisions is through probability."
So essentially the 9/11 official statement is only a probability that it is in fact truthful and of knowledge henceforth, could lead to another side of differing probability that the official statement is not true. Then 9/11 can not be concluded that it was in outside job by all knowing means that state the ends that it was.
I applaud my OPP unwavering argumentation. That being said he has failed to prove that 9/11 was a inside job.
My OPP stated that the Bush Admin knew about, let it happen, or did it 9/11 commission was just used for biased ends. That is his theory it is not factual. If the Bush Admin is guilty of anything it is lying to cover up its own mistakes but that does not prove an inside job.
Defying countless official and non-governmental enquiries, media reporting, and often common sense, a significant number of people fervently disbelieve that Osama bin Ladens al Qaeda sent 19 hijackers to execute the 9/11 massacre. Instead my OPP blames elements within George W. Bushs administration or that the US government didn't actually blow up its citizens, but knew full well the attacks were coming, then did nothing to stop them. Which is false. Even a decade later, the conspiracy movement is alive and kicking. Groups such as Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, or Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth see themselves as serious researchers exposing perhaps the biggest cover up in US history.
A summary of the leading theories is contained in "Loose Change," a homemade documentary viewed nearly 125 million times on Google and some 30 million worldwide on You Tube according to director Dylan Avery.
Splicing news footage and interviews, all set to a fast paced beat, Loose Change collates and expands on all the urban legends about 9/11.
For example:
- The Twin Towers could not have collapsed from airplane impact alone.
- The astonishingly rapid collapse of World Trade Center tower 7, despite not being hit by a plane, bore the hallmarks of professional demolition.
- Wall Street trading on stocks directly affected by the disaster showed some people knew in advance about what was coming.
- A US missile, not American Airlines Flight 77, smashed into the Pentagon.
- United Airlines Flight 93 did not crash in a Pennsylvania field, but vanished, perhaps after being shot down by a fighter jet.
The United States has long been fertile ground for conspiracy theories. In this parallel world, JFK was assassinated by anyone ranging from the CIA to Cuban exiles. The Moon landing pictures were taken in a studio, while the US government is covering up evidence of UFOs. And American GIs are still held in bamboo cages in Vietnam.
Some of them turn about to be true, after all Pearl Harbor was a Japanese conspiracy and Nixons Watergate break in was a cover-up. But with so few that turn out to be true, why do people believe in conspiracies?
A new article in Scientific American tries to figure that out. Michael Shermer outlines in his Skeptic column four traits of those who believe:
* patternicity, or a tendency to find meaningful patterns in random noise
* agenticity, or the bent to believe the world is controlled by invisible intentional agent
* confirmation bias, or the seeking and finding of confirmatory evidence for what we already believe
* hindsight bias, or tailoring after-the-fact explanations to what we already know happened.
A conspiracy theory takes flight when all of these are concocted into a heady mix of conviction. Its called "conspiratorial cognition," and its the fuel driving belief in the 9/11 conspiracy.
Anyway my point is that as I stated before conspiracy theories are just that theories. If there was any proof that would that 9/11 was a inside job it would known by now.
In conclusion I have shown that there are explanations to the arguments my OPP has put forth. My OPP has not shown any factual evidence that proves 9/11 was an inside job and that is what debate was about. His arguments are based on theory alone.
It's vitally important to remember conspiracy theories are just that theories. There is no evidence to prove that they are true.
I urge a PRO vote simply because there are no facts that prove a inside job on 9/11 if there were any they would surely be known by now.
Any questions can be answered below:
Once again thx to my OPP and thx to our audience for taking time to review out arguments.
Elvis still exists and some folks will die with that believe.
Did the U.S. in fact do 9/11 I do not know for certain or can make such of a conviction, I am an expert on nothing.
Do I want to believe the Gov. did it. No.
Did a select few make money off of 9/11 and the wars that ensued. Yes.
Is the war on terrorism similar to communism. This would be a whole new debate but, as communism elevated the Govs power so is terrorism. It creates a George Orwell environment. If anyone lives in NYC what is with all the cameras, is it really just too spot terrorists and other unlawful behavior? Then if it is then why didn't the cameras spot the car bomb fella in Times Square years back before he began to detonate the failed explosives. A vendor notified police. Though the NY times did state the camera recorded it.
Does the official 9/11 story add up to being true and well thought out to be a conclusive statement of the event? I liken to state no.
Does the Gov. lie? Of course, it is sometimes for the common good that the Gov. lies as a virtue and does not tell the people everything.
Is all the facts leading up to 9/11 and preceding 9/11 just a pure coincidence regarding the warnings, the law changes, the building damage of the towers and pentagon, the manner the buildings fell, the war games that morning, the wars in Iraq and the Forgotten War or in sum, the wars on instability , the thermite discovery, first hand accounts…?
Most of all, Thanks for the debate IveGotUrOuts.
If so, why doesn't jet fuel melt jet engines that are subjected to the highest temperature burn jet fuel can produce and sustained continuously on up to 14 hr commercial flights? Jets are propelled by expanding air shot out of the rear. Turbines are in the immediate direct path of this air. Expanding air is achieved by super heating. In other words, a continuous explosion of super heated air. "Oh, because jet engines are made from super magical metals impervious to temperatures many times that of structural steel" would be the obvious uneducated shot from the hip comeback without research but OK, lets consider it anyway. If so, then why is the official reason for the lack of plane debris at the Pentagon because the plane vaporised from the fire, engines and all?
These are actual 911 Commission findings. Crack whores can lie better than that.
3-0 Pro. 3 points given for most convincing arguments. RFD:
Con had the burden of proof because he was the only one who can bring evidence for his claim. Con made many assertions with no factual support, however Pro rarely took advantage of these instances and in some cases failed to refute them so overall Cons arguments were stronger in that respect. However, Pro did rightfully point out that Con made no coherent case to affirm his argument. Even if we accept all of Cons claims, with the exception of very few, they do not affirm an inside job. Also, Con seemed to bring a different case to every round of the debate and resorted to argument spamming in the last round.

Welcome to Health Care Reforms
Thank you for visiting Health Care Reforms. If you are one of the 25% of individuals without health insurance coverage, then you will find our website of interest. If you are are one of the 75% that does have health insurance coverage, and your premiums are rising to compensate for the 25% that don't, you will also find the health care reform topics we debate and discuss of interest.
While many argue that no free democracy can force its citizens to pay for health insurance, the Constitution of the United State of America does not require our tax dollars be sent abroad in the form of financial assistance to foreign businesses, individuals and other politically legitimate causes. While in many cases we do "what is right" for others outside of the USA which are coping with natural disasters, we ignore the devastation of inadequate access to medical care at home. (more…)
