For those of you who still believe that 19 hijackers were responsible for the attacks on 911 the following: When we did our first 11th of every month 911 truth action we found that not many people knew about that a third building had collapsed that day. Well it did. 6 hours after the free fall collapse of the twin towers WTC7 collapsed miraculously into it’s own footprint within 6.5 seconds. It was seen by millions and millions of people when it happened live but it was edited out of the story in the days following the attacks. This video is from an Italian documentary aired last year on canale 5. I dare you to watch it and give me an explanation as to how this could have been done without explosives. Just in case you are going to tell me it was because of the fires inside the buildings, forget it. A New York fire fighter has gone on record as saying there was no reason for that building to come down the way it did. The damage and the fires were not extensive enough to cause that building to go down the way that it did.

In order to once again approve hundreds of billions of dollars to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, while posturing as opponents of “Bush’s war,” the Democratic leadership in Congress has crafted an elaborate legislative charade that is set to begin unfolding this week. The leadership’s scheme involves splitting contradictory measures contained within the massive spending bill and putting them to separate votes in an attempt to placate the divergent wings of an increasingly fragmented party.

Barack Obama's wave of superdelegate endorsements puts him within reach of the Democratic presidential nomination by the end of the primary season on June 3 _ even if he loses half of the remaining six contests. The Illinois senator has picked up 26 superdelegates in the past week. At that pace, he will reach the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination _ 2,025 _ in the next three weeks, when delegates from the remaining primaries are included.

To get to Ali Abu Zour’s living quarters, you have to fold yourself into an improbable shape, and stoop-crawl-walk through the square hole in the back of his shop. Once we had reached the bare room next to the kitchen, we decided it would be better to go back to the shop: just as comfortable, and he might not lose any passing business, as we talked. Outside was the glare and the noise of the main market drag of Balata refugee camp, close to Nablus. Inside Mr Abu Zour’s shop, the light was dull and greyish, the shelves filled with dusty packets of soap powder and floor cleaner.

On Friday May 14, 1948 -- the day the British Mandate over Palestine expired -- the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel was signed by members of the National Council gathered at the Tel Aviv Museum, representing the Jewish community in the country and the Zionist movement abroad. It went into effect at midnight, Tel Aviv time. Eliahu Epstein of The Jewish Agency sent a letter to President Truman, dated May 14, 1948 announcing the event. Truman responded with recognition of Israel by the United States only 11 minutes after the declaration in Tel Aviv."

Einstein, who was Jewish and who declined an offer to be the state of Israel's second president, also rejected the idea that the Jews are God's favoured people. "For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." This was in 1954 -the Zionists certainly have gotten a lot more power since then. In fact, they control Congress and the White House. -The "cancers" that Einstein mentioned have by now become apparent, but I rather doubt we've seen the worst of them yet.

In 1929, a Cal-Tech astronomer named Edwin Hubble observed that objects which appeared to be much further away showed a more pronounced shift towards the red end of the spectrum. Scientists building on Hubble's discovery concluded that the farther an object was away from Earth, the faster it was receding, and calculated the relationship between distance and velocity, called the "Hubble Constant" and concluded on the basis of this one observed fact and the assumption that there was no other explanation for that observed fact that the universe was expanding. Religious circles embraced the idea.

At 61, the usually loquacious Susan Sarandon is at a loss to explain her continuing supremacy in an industry where so many other ex-models have failed: "Maybe it's because I've always been so fascinated by real people. I'm not hung up on glamour," she suggests. "Hollywood can punish actresses for getting old and fat. While I may not be fat, there's no denying my age. Other than that, I really don't know." Perhaps it's because she's one of the few actresses of her generation whose face is still capable of physical expression? "Look, I'm not going to knock it [plastic surgery]. I think women have the right to do whatever they want to their bodies that makes them feel good. The only thing I'd say is that learning how to forgive yourself for not being perfect is probably a really positive step. I might add that motherhood doesn't exactly help your self-image when your kids are constantly telling you how bad you look. I'd like to think that it's what's inside that counts."

It was freedom at last! The release of Sami Al Haj after six-and-a-half years, languishing in prison on Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, is a surreal reality going to the heart of international political intrigue, media manipulation and human rights violations. Despite what is regarded as a botched up theatrical play by the US government, Sami Al Haj, a Sudanese cameraman who worked for world-famous Al Jazeera, was viewed as an “enemy combatant” who in the end was released without any charges, despite the fact he had to endure 130 sessions of interrogations in which he claimed the authorities offered to set him free if he would spy on his own employer Al Jazeera, and the journalists working there as he says 35 of these sessions were solely related to his work at the satellite station that has an audience of 40 million.

Two decades from now Americans could get as much electricity from windmills as from nuclear power plants, according to a government report that lays out a possible plan for wind energy growth. The report, a collaboration between the Energy Department research labs and industry, concludes wind energy could generate 20 percent of the nation's electricity by 2030, about the same share now produced by nuclear reactors. Such growth would pose a number of major challenges, but is achievable without the need of major new technological breakthroughs, said the report released Monday. "The report indicates that we can do this nationally for less than half a cent per kilowatt hour if we have the vision," said Andrew Karsner, the Energy Department's assistant secretary for efficiency and renewable energy. If achieved, it would be an astounding leap. Wind energy today accounts for only about 1 percent of the nation's electricity, although the industry has been on a growth binge with a 45 percent jump in production last year.

By now it can’t be a surprise most Americans don’t buy an official corporate owned Washington cum media fable on 9/11. Some part of that skepticism is due to a so-called 9/11 Truth Movement that has consistently poked significant holes through the official DC conspiracy tale. The Movement was grown from a modest grassroots start to a something like a groundswell backed by hundreds of scientists, intelligence pros, military and Washington whistleblowers as well as others. But the truth is not enough. Not for those that have a private bloody stake in pushing a hugely profitable snake oil 9/11 “war on terror” past a more or less complacent public. A public that so far doesn’t seem to realize the simplest truth of all. That is: 9/11 corruption does not take smoking gun Washington guilt to prosecute. Not with clear and naked state crimes already on the table.
