  • US District Court Unseals 9/11 'Inside Job' Case

    Dr Morgan Reynolds, the former Chief Economist of the US Dept of Labor, is suing private contractors alleging they defrauded the government by supplying bogus analyses for the official 9/11 NIST Report of an aluminum airplane with a plastic nosecone gliding into a steel/concrete building.

    Dr Reynolds is represented by attorney Jerry Leaphart, and is demanding a Trial By Jury.

    The US District Court, Southern New York, recently unsealed the case and Mr Leaphart is now notifying the Defendants.

    See Dr Reynolds site for info and the Court Document PDF:

    Dr Judy Wood, a former Professor of Mechanical Engineering from Clemson University, recently filed an appeal with the government for their refusal to retract their report on the World Trade Center destruction. Dr Wood (and Dr Reynolds) have compiled much evidence demonstrating that the WTC was destroyed with directed energy weapons. She has been in contact with government officials and is getting results. See Dr Wood's site for evidence of directed energy weapons and PDFs of official Request for Corrections filed with the government:

    Dr Wood is the only 9/11 Research Scientist to get NIST to confirm the statement in their own report of not having analyzed the "collapses" of the towers. This confirmation comes in NIST's response to Dr Wood's Request for Correction, both of which are archived here:

    http://drjudywood.com/articles/NIST/NIST_RFC.html

    The relevant quote from the Chief, Management and Organization Division at NIST to Dr Wood is as follows:

    "As stated in NCSTAR 1, NIST only investigated the factors leading to the initiation of the collapses of the WTC towers, not the collapses themselves."

    Dr Wood is also represented by Jerry Leaphart.

    In an interview with Kevin Barrett, trial attorney Jerry Leaphart has said:

    "What I can tell you and the listeners, Kevin, is this. There is more admissible evidence associated with the theory that the World Trade Center was destroyed by directed energy weapons than there is admissible evidence for any single other theory out there that has been promulgated."

    It's every American's duty to remove corrupt elements in the government.

  • The 9/11 backlash against women

    What’s happening in this country—an incompetent boob, having found the chink in Democracy’s armor, is running amok—has nothing to do with sex. I’m not sure how long things simmered before we threw out the other incompetent boob named George, two hundred and fifty years ago, but every man and woman I know has simmered for the last eighty months, urged members of congress to Do The Right Thing (which they haven’t) stood with the Women In Black, sent contributions to the DNC and MoveOn and in general done what you do in Twenty-First Century America when things go terribly wrong.

    I can’t name an oppressed woman, although I’ve seen stories about them on television. I think to connect 9/11 and an ebb in feminism is a creative act. It may, however, be like connecting Hitler and painting. It implies a mysterious force stronger than women collectively. I doubt there is such a thing. And it gives greater credance to ideology—George Bush’s and Susan Faludi’s—than it deserves. As a friend of mine once said, “There’s only two important questions in this world: what do you take for instant relief of acid indigestion? Who have you been sleeping with lately?” Or, as Yeats wrote:

    When all that story's finished, what's the news?

    In luck or out the toil has left its mark:

    That old perplexity an empty purse,

    Or the day's vanity, the night's remorse.

  • I'll bite, but briefly since it is so far off topic

    I'm still trying to get a handle on this feminism taught in school thing. Forgive me if I am skeptical but it seems a bit far fetched. Aren't you really just saying that you had female teachers who were frustrated with the behavior of boys because they are more active than girls or are you actually claiming some sort of feminist conspiracy?

    I am not claiming it. It is becoming common knowledge that public school curricula are developed by women and their male enablers to support a female first, male fourth (after pets and kids) agenda. It is verboten to speak ill of women or girls no matter how bad they are. It is expected that men and boys will be put down no matter how good the individual person is. THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL ILLNESS INFESTING THE LEFT. I could write paragraphs detailing the effects and the reasons behind them, once I think them through (which I have not).

    You talked about being drugged. You were drugged in school? Don't know what you mean about being drugged.

    Thank GOD these drugs were not yet on the feminist agenda in the late 1970s. I would surely have been drugged for either being uppity, spacy, or shy.

    I looked up that paleo thing with feminism and didn't get much except a blog that said that Amanda Marcotte and Shere Hite were paleo feminists. Do you agree?

    It was a joke I made.

    I found something on paleo conservatives. Is that what your Mom is? Sounds like you really like your Mom. Is the guy she is married to your Dad?

    No, he is not my dad. BTW, most of the country is socially conservative, unlike you uber-lib freaks who want women to whore around freely while the men pay a check each month to them. I am close to my whole family, mom, brother, sister, in laws, neices, aunts, nephews, uncles. Blood is thicker than water. That is another thing I noticed about America, most people are trash, they cannot stand anyone in their family. Says much.

  • oh, please

    “I am not claiming it. It is becoming common knowledge that public school curricula are developed by women and their male enablers to support a female first, male fourth (after pets and kids) agenda. It is verboten to speak ill of women or girls no matter how bad they are.”

    I’ve been teaching in public schools for over 13 years. This claim, and it is a claim, is just silly. I promise you, boys are doing just fine. And as for speaking ill of women or girls, you’ve obviously never listened to real teachers discuss their problem students, girls or boys. There is no conspiracy against boys, they are as loud and boisterous and confident as they have ever been.
