Another on-air oddity from Dan Rather:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_RbtEkjqIU&feature=related#

Observations:

- Rather's language suggests he has knowledge of a video clip in custody of CBS News in which Giuliani "holds up" what he claims is a "flight recorder box" from the WTC wreckage.

- Rather introduces this clip, but immediately a BBC-style "technical problem" prevents its being aired.

- Giuliani would not make such an announcement to the national media casually--much less "hold up" the object in question--without confirmation that what had been found was indeed a "flight recorder box" and not the remains of some other electronic appliance from the debris.

This episode supports claims by FDNY personnel and an NTSB "insider" that the WTC "black boxes" were in fact found, and suggests the actual moment the blackout curtain descends on this matter in the corporate media.

I hope you'll agree they're all good resources. Professor Griffin does a great job of exposing the lies which just cannot cover up the extraordinary behaviour of Bush and his travelling team.

And Richard Gage has engineering and science on his side. Great material to give to engineers and scientists.

I have also had a go at designing some CD insert labels for the Free Bees' song, '9/11's A Lie'. I've been distributing the song on standard CDR-80 discs, which have loads of room for extra tracks. The 2 image files are intended for regular audio CDs of the song, with a bonus track, consisting of the Bonnie Faulkner 'Explosive Testimony' interview with David Ray Griffin, on KPFA. This is the programme which started Richard Gage on his journey.

The CD inserts are designed to work with a free label making program, UndercoverXP. Get it from www.undercoverxp.tk

I have made an A5-sized booklet version of the scholars' paper on environmental anomalies at the WTC. This is available as a free download from http://www.mediafire.com/?7yzhfbzx0bf It's a pdf file.

This version preserves US English spelling. I hope to add a UK version before too long.

You can print it out on to A4 paper, fold to A5 and either glue or staple it all together. The booklet has 20 A5 pages; thus you'll need 5 A4 sheets.

Use a sheet of thick, high quality paper for the cover.

This format is more convenient for distribution in such places as reference libraries and university cafes, or anywhere you'd be handing copies out. It's also a bit more robust for mailing.

After filming a days worth of footage at a 9/11 protest in the city where 2 of the 9/11 hijackers were from, an unknown man approached one of the protesters with a startling admission. He knew 12 of the men who were involved in the 9/11 plot.

True or false? I don't know, but interesting.

'Journey for 9/11' supports rescuers

SAN DIEGO – His body is no stranger to punishment and grind. George Martin, after all, spent 14 years playing professional football. But at age 55, he put it to the test again. George Martin - Because people he considers to be true heroes are hurting.

The former New York Giants defensive end began walking across America eight months ago to raise money for rescue workers who rushed to ground zero on Sept. 11, 2001, and are now suffering myriad illnesses – including lung disease and post traumatic stress disorder.

One medical study showed that 70 percent of the 40,000 or so responders have suffered lung disease and other problems because of the dust and debris. One in five has lost lung capacity.

Some don't have adequate health or disability insurance, Martin said. Some were volunteers who took it upon themselves to go through the rubble and pitch in, however they could.

Getty images http://www.gettyimages.com/ has a large collection of 9-11 related images .
You can not see the full-resolution images at the site (it's a shop) but still an excellent source
for researchers .
I found them by making a date-search for the period 9-11-2001 - 9-12-2001 . Interestingly, this also brings up images
from the USS George Washington, reported by USAToday to be anchored off Long Island on 9/11 http://home.att.net/~south.tower/911AirBase1.htm

Received some new photos of the WTC destruction. More roasted cars are shown, and these have not been moved, but are pictured at the point of roasting – in the WTC parking complex.

These cars have been violently scorched to the point that nothing remains but metal.

I'd never seen this before:

We were told that the reason bin Laden attacked the USA was because he hates our "freedom" and "democracy". The Muslims were "medieval" and they wanted to destroy us because they envied our wealth, were still bitter about the Crusades, and were offended by Britney Spears shaking her tits and ass all over the place!

But bin Laden strongly denied any role in the attacks and suggested that Zionists orchestrated the
9-11 attacks. The BBC published bin Laden's statement of denial in which he said:

"I was not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States nor did I have knowledge of the attacks. There exists a government within a government within the United States. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; to the people who want to make the present century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity. That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks. ... The American system is totally in control of the Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States."

Conspiracy theorist or skeptic Richard Gage believes that something other than terrorists brought down the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. His story involves specially timed explosives, a team of experts and a well-orchestrated cover-up by our own government.

As part of a group called Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Gage traveled to Santa Cruz on May 2 to present “9/11: Blueprint for Truth,” a PowerPoint and film presentation that contests the official story of what brought down the towers.

During the presentation, Gage challenged the theories put forth by several governmental agencies that studied the collapse of the towers, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), saying that none of the previous studies hold up under scrutiny.
“The skyscrapers, welded together and designed not to bend, dropped like a house of cards,” Gage said. “Theories of previous studies don’t account for straight-down collapse or the characteristics of demolitions.”

BBC was not the only network to 'get it wrong'.

At the Pentagon, before 9/11 a clinic developed an emergency plan that helped the response to the attacks, and a fire five weeks before 9/11 further enhanced preparedness. The alert level was raised shortly before the Pentagon was hit, and people disguised as firefighters were arrested there the day after the attacks.

Regarding the World Trade Center, a structural engineer found evidence of extreme temperatures in the fires and criticized the decision to destroy the steel. In addition, an engineering journal recently published an article questioning whether the WTC was really destroyed by fire and impact damage.

I have a hard time explaining to people in words why the aftermath of the World Trade Center collapse can only be explained by the use of explosives; nothing else could have pulverized the buildings so quickly and thoroughly. Since most people need to see something (rather than hear it) in order to process it fully, I put together this page where you can play close-up videos of the Twin Towers in all their enormity simultaneously side-by-side with videos shot at ground zero in the immediate aftermath. I think this can effectively demonstrate to people that the scale of the demolition was beyond what gravity could do by itself.

May 11th occurs on a Mother's day Sunday, so we elected a more "passive" approach.

this should help (I rehashed earlier posts into a press release, posting it here for posterity. Hopefully, this will get picked up as news all over the world. Woe to Google if they don't index it.

Fourteen Points: World Trade Center Destruction Media Visibility Week
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/04/prweb881404.htm

A letter has just been published in The Open Civil Engineering Journal published by bentham.org -OCIEJ is a mainstream, peer-reviewed scientific engineering journal. This event is significant because the authors, Dr. Steven E. Jones, Dr. Frank M. Legge, Kevin R. Ryan, Anthony F. Szamboti, James R. Gourley are known for hypothesizing that on 9/11 WTC 1, 2 & 7 were destroyed by controlled demolition. In their open letter they seek to reach agreement on grounds for "productive discussion" on the subject of the destruction of WTC 1, 2 & 7, based on the 14 points outlined in the letter Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction, which in turn are based on assertions of fact already made by NIST and FEMA.
