The Smoking Gun found in basement of WTC6

This display resides in the NYPD Museum

Save a picture of this and hide it in a phone chip or something. If it disappears we will be experiencing, yet another, example of evidence that is missing because it doesn't go along with the official story.

"Gun Encased in Concrete and Gun-Casing Remains
The U.S. Customs House stored a large arsenal of firearms at its Six World Trade Center office. During recovery efforts, several handguns were found at Ground Zero, including these two cylindrical gun-casing remains and a revolver embedded in concrete. Fire temperatures were so intense that concrete melted like lava around anything in its path."

By Christopher Bollyn

A massive explosion, witnessed by millions of television viewers on CNN, evidently devastated World Trade Center 6, the eight-story U.S. Customs building, although no national newspaper, other than American Free Press, has written a word about it.

Before the smoke had cleared from around the stricken South Tower, a mysterious explosion shot 550 feet into the air above the U.S. Customs House at WTC 6.

The unexplained blast occurred between the burning North Tower and the 47-story Salomon Brothers Building, known as WTC 7, immediately after United Airlines Flight 175 smashed into the South Tower, at about 9:03 a.m.

The explosion at WTC 6 was shown afterward on CNN. But because it was not broadcast as it happened there has been some confusion about when it actually occurred.

The large amount of smoke seen cascading around the South Tower in the video led some observers to mistake the blast for a dust cloud from the subsequent collapse of the tower.



This video at around 4 minutes shows the plume of smoke mentioned in this article. The time mentioned in the article is 9:03 am just after WTC2 was impacted by a plane. There is some discrepency, as this video says about 9:30.
Interestingly this is around the same time that Barry Jennings says he was hanging from a collapsed stairwell in WTC7 after hearing a large explosion.

TIMING CONFIRMED

American Free Press contacted CNN to determine exactly when the footage was filmed.

CNN’s Public Affairs Department confirmed that the explosion shown in the footage occurred immediately after the second plane had crashed into the South Tower. When asked if the footage was taken at 9:04 a.m., the CNN archivist said “that’s correct.”

When asked if CNN could offer any explanation about what might have caused the blast that soared higher than the 47-story WTC 7 in the foreground, the archivist said: “We can’t figure it out.”

The affected space between WTC 7 and the North Tower was occupied by the Customs House building, also known as WTC 6. The building housed the offices of 760 employees of the Customs Service, a part of Treasury. Other federal
agencies had offices in the building, including the Departments of Commerce, Agriculture, Labor, and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. They did not return calls to AFP about the matter.

A spokesman for the Export-Import Bank of the United States, which had an office with four employees on the sixth floor of the Customs House, confirmed the time of the explosion and told AFP that the employees had survived and been relocated. One private company, Eastco Building Services, Inc., reportedly leased space in the building.

Some 800 workers from WTC 6 were safely evacuated within 12 minutes of the first plane hitting the North Tower at about 8:46 a.m., according to a Sept. 18 Washington Post article by Stephen Barr.

The Barr piece is the only known article published about WTC 6. However, Barr failed to mention the explosion that apparently devastated the building just minutes after the workers had escaped with their lives.

US shows off the Boeing 747-400F Air Borne Laser



blacklistednews.com

August 13, 2009

On August 13th the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and Chicago-based Boeing International announced a test of their joint Airborne Laser (ABL) missile defense system, which "successfully tracked and hit the mark earlier this month during its first in-flight test against an instrumented target missile."

Employing a modified Boeing 747-400F prototype airplane, on August 10 the Missile Defense Agency had the adapted commercial airliner use infrared sensors against a missile launched from San Nicolas Island, California and "found, tracked, engaged and simulated an intercept with a missile seconds after liftoff. It was the first time the Agency used an 'instrumented' missile to confirm the laser works as expected. Next up this fall will be the first live attempt to bring down a ballistic missile...."



A newspaper from Alabama, the state where the MDA headquarters is based, mentioned that "The news came today [August 13], just a few days before the 12th annual Space and Missile Defense Conference opens next week in Huntsville."

The Wall Street Journal waxed enthusiastic about the advanced missile interceptor test, stating that "Along with space-based weapons, the Airborne Laser is the next defense frontier. The modified Boeing 747 is supposed to send an intense beam of light over hundreds of miles to destroy missiles in the 'boost phase,' before they can release decoys and at a point in their trajectory when they would fall back down on enemy territory....The laser complements the sea- and ground-based missile defenses that keep proving themselves in tests.

"Never has Ronald Reagan's dream of layered missile defenses - Star Wars, for short - been as....close, at least technologically, to becoming realized."

The Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet was launched as a civilian airliner in 1970 and versions of the plane are in use throughout the world, especially in the Middle East. There is no technical reason why 747 commercial airliners cannot be similarly configured to carry Airborne Laser weapons and track and destroy ballistic missiles while camouflaged as strictly civilian passenger planes.

The MDA has revealed that it plans to upgrade Airborne Laser weapons for use against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during their boost phase, thereby giving them a strategic character.

As an increasingly vital component of U.S. and allied worldwide, integrated missile interceptor systems, which as will be seen may advance to more than intercepting other nation's missiles and be capable of destroying them in their silos and launching pads before being fired, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency said of its latest Airborne Laser operation that "this test marks the third successful ABL missile engagement in just over two months and the first time laser performance data was collected at the target missile. Plans call for ABL to engage progressively more difficult targets in coming months, culminating with a lethal demonstration against a boosting threat-representative ballistic missile target later this year."

Harry and Louise Flip Flop on Health Care



Harry & Louise are still working for the corporate government, who realizes that it will have to allow health care reform of some kind. The part that they don't want is Universal Health Care, Single Pay, or government run health care. So what we will end up with is a health care package like the one proposed by Mitt Romney. Romney's plan says everyone should: The state would work harder to enroll all residents eligible for Medicaid; employers, most of whom already offer insurance, would be encouraged to continue doing so voluntarily; and individuals who don't have insurance would have to sign on to one of two new insurance pools, one of which would be subsidized for lower-income residents.
If Romney had his way, failing to sign up could lead to a loss of a personal tax exemption or garnishment of wages.

Current GOP Strategy Echoes Kristol’s 1993 Memo Urging Obstruction Of Dems

With the GOP gearing up to defeat President Obama’s big-ticket initiatives, a lot of folks have been trying to track down a copy of the full memo that Bill Kristol famously wrote in 1993 urging Republicans to block Bill Clinton’s health care reform plan at all costs. Bits and pieces of the memo are floating around but the full one has been elusive.

Well, I have obtained a PDF copy — you can read the whole thing right here. And it’s really a striking read, because it demonstrates two things. First, how much the current GOP strategy seems to echo the strategic objectives Kristol articulated 15 years ago. And second, how much worse off the GOP is now than it was then in terms of being able to achieve those objectives. Here’s the crux:

Passage of the Clinton health care plan, in any form, would guarantee and likely make permanent an unprecedecented federal intrusion into and disruption of the American economy — and the establishment of the largest federal entitlement program since Social Security. It’s success would signal a rebirth of centralized welfare-state policy at the very moment we have begun rolling back that idea in other areas…

The long term political effects of a successful Clinton health care bill will be even worse — much worse. It will relegitimize middle-class dependency for “security” on government spending and regulation. It will revive the reputation of the party that spends and regulates, the Democrats, as the generous protector of middle-class interests. And it will at the same time strike a punishing blow against Republican claims to defend the middle class by restraining government…

Its rejection by Congress and the public would be a monumental setback for the President, and an incontestable piece of evidence that Democratic welfare-state liberalism remains firmly in retreat.

Here’s what’s striking about this. Kristol repeatedly says defeating Clinton on health care would deal a death knell to something that at the time already appeared on its way towards extinction — the “welfare-state,” or the idea that government can improve the lives of the middle class. Kristol describes this idea as “firmly in retreat,” in the process of being “rolled back,” in need of “re-legitimizing.” At the time the defeat of health care was viewed as a potential final victory over liberalism.

Fifteen years later, of course, political conditions are dramatically different. Polls show the public broadly supports a far more activist role for government and backs Obama’s plans to expand the federal government’s role in a way not seen in decades. And it’s conservative ideas that are in retreat. Yet the GOP is pursuing roughly the same strategy today that it did then.

Is Barack Obama for UFO Disclosure?




President Obama and UFOs

OpEdNews

Diary Entry by Bill Knell

November 6, 2008

President Elect Obama appears to have very little interest in UFOs or outer space. During a news flap over statements made by Shirley MacLaine last year about a UFO sighting that former Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich had, a number of other Democratic Candidates were asked how they felt about UFOs. Barack Obama told the late Tim Russert of NBC News that he was more concerned about improving the quality of people’s lives here on Earth, than space aliens.

Obviously preferring to focus his attention on solving the terrestrial economic problems of U.S. Citizens, Barack Obama has also sent strong signals to NASA that he has little interest in spending billions of tax dollars on space exploration. He stood with Florida Senator and former Astronaut Bill Nelson at the Kennedy Space Center this past summer to declare that although he would support continued “basic research and development” at NASA over the long term, he would need to find ways to pay for it that would not take money away from programs that help people here on Earth in the short term.

Obama and many other democrats believe that promises made by President Bush regarding future NASA programs involving the Moon and Mars have always been strong on rhetoric and short on funding. Unlike the funded mandate outlined in his famous “We shall go to the Moon…” speech that the late President John F. Kennedy delivered to NASA’s doorstep, the most that Bush and the various incarnations of the U.S. Congress that have existed during his Administration have done is sent the space agency a few dollars to develop vehicles needed to get to those places.

Apart from the fact that big money for space programs has been a hard sell even during the best of economic times in recent years, it’s doubtful that President Elect Obama will be motivated to do much more than just keep the lights on at NASA and allow current plans for the International Space Station to go forward as long as they don’t require too much funding. The real question is what will happen after he is sworn in as the forty-forth President of the United States.

I don’t imagine that there were too many Champaign corks popping at the Pentagon after Obama won the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. President Elect Obama is known to prefer diplomacy to military solutions. Whether he will go as far as former President Jimmy Carter did by trying to dismantle the CIA and cut military spending by billions when he got into office remains to be seen. What does seem to be certain is that not all U.S. Presidents receive the real E.T. briefing. Carter tried to get it from former CIA Director George H. Bush before he replaced Bush with a new director, but was turned down.

Times have changed and it’s entirely possible that Obama will receive a briefing about UFOs and Aliens whether anyone in the military or intelligence gathering community wants him to have it or not. Given the number of UFOs seen worldwide over the past few years and the obvious military responses in the form of jet and helicopter chases, Obama may have to simply join a show already in progress. If that happens, look for the tell-tale changes in Obama’s attitude towards UFOs, Aliens or Space Programs. A sudden and unexpected dependency on the military, a lack of interest in cutting their budget and overall adjustment of his political views may be one sign, but probably not the biggest.

I would expect a world-minded politician like Barack Obama to support
UFO Disclosure given the diplomatic and international relations possibilities such a move would offer our nation. Especially if he was convinced that extraterrestrials were really visiting our planet and impacting worldwide economies and technologies. Knowing that he could not affect change overnight, Obama might consider supporting disclosure with the hope that he could force the ultimate unveiling of alternative energy sources and new energy efficient technologies that have may have been developed as a result of captured or bartered UFO technology.

The UHC Battle is Really about Insurance Profits



Instead of Funding Universal Healthcare, Dollars Become Insurance Company Profits

Congressman Dennis Kucinich

Submitted by Melinda Gibson
January 14th, 2008

* Health Care for Al

"We’re already paying for universal coverage. We’re just not getting it. We’re pouring a large portion of every health care dollar into the waste of the private insurance companies, their executive salaries and stock options, their lobbying and advertising. [Universal health care] would remove that waste by making the government the single payer for health care…It is time to take the profit out of health care coverage, time to provide for the American people, not for the insurance companies…Privately delivered health care, publicly financed—has worked well in other countries, none of which spend as much per capita on health care as the United States."

Ronald Wiecks Skeptic Show Starring Arthur Scheuerman Revisited




The prowess of these intellectual giants can only be compared to a gallon of cheap wine. They are busy as usual examining things from every angle in order to come up with the absolute truth, and consider every scrap of evidence so an impeccable hypothesis can be presented. Can there be anyone with enough intelligence to debate them? We have heard it on the video, that there is no one who will, mainly because it is too difficult for anyone to understand. Why I've heard, from Mark's own mouth, that he has read all of the ten thousand pages of the NIST report. Who could argue against a man with that much information in his head? I doubt that even Shyam Sunder has done that or if he has, it must have overloaded his hard drive, I mean...all he could do was stammer and stutter when he tried to describe gravity and freefall...

Pomaroo and Gravy have been busy for a long time trying to draw 911 truth seekers into voicing an opinion on FDNY being involved in a conspiracy. On this video he says...

Ronald Wieck: "Can you think of some particularly grievous examples of members of the truth movement distorting the words of fire fighters on the scene?"

Mark Roberts: "Oh sure, Richard Gage on his website says one of the signs of demolition is foreknowledge."

It's funny that Pomaroo is still asking that, especially to his compadre's. Here is Pomaroo commenting on an article from March 3, 2008

Quote:

"Wordgeezer, you sound extremely confused. Was the FDNY in on it or not? A simple “yes” or “no” will do."

"My simple yes-or-no question is a major stumbling block for fantasists."

"So, how about it: Was the FDNY part of the Impossibly Vast conspiracy?"

"Now, how are we coming along with my simple yes-or-no question?"

"Most conspiracy liars flee when asked if the FDNY was part of the Impossibly Vast Conspiracy. It was refreshing to find one as forthright as you. Oh, wait–you fled, too. Sorry."


For dialog on this see Ronald Wieck's Skeptic Show Starring Arthur Scheuerman.

Nuff said, so here's a video done by a guy called Truth Jocky. He's not a scientist, an engineer, a fireman, or a skeptic. He's just someone, like many of us, who is amazed by what happened on 911 and the lengths that the shadow government has taken to avoid a real investigation.

Olbermann nails it on the healthcare issue

MSNBC admits erring on Richard Wolffe

Politico

By KENNETH P. VOGEL & EAMON JAVERS | 8/3/09 7:23 PM EDT

MSNBC will begin identifying commentator Richard Wolffe as a strategist for a top Washington public affairs public Strategies Inc. after a spate of criticism alleging a conflict between his consulting and television roles.

“We should have disclosed Richard's connection to Public Strategies,” NBC News spokesman Jeremy Gaines told POLITICO. “We will do so in the future.”

Gaines did not answer questions about whether MSNBC knows Public Strategies’ clients or which accounts Wolffe works on for the firm, but he said “Richard has assured us that he does not offer commentary about any of his clients or their interests.”

Public Strategies represents a host of clients in the middle of any number of hot public policy debates.

According to lobbying records, this year the firm has worked for the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, which paid it $50,000 a month, defense contractor Lockheed Martin, the Edison Electric Institute and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others.

Wolffe himself is not registered to lobby, so there are no records of which accounts he works for the firm.

But his biography on Public Strategies’ website touts both his relationship with MSNBC, which recently used him as a guest host for “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” and alludes to his familiarity with President Obama’s inner circle, which were solidified while covering the 2008 presidential campaign as a Newsweek reporter and later writing a book about the campaign.

Liberal Salon blogger Glenn Greenwald recently summed up the situation thusly: “Wolffe's role in life is to advance the P.R. interests of the corporations that pay him, including corporations with substantial interests in virtually every political issue that MSNBC and Countdown cover.” That, Greenwald asserted, “is a conflict so severe that it's incurable by disclosure: who wouldn't realize that you can't present paid corporate hacks as objective political commentators?”

Conservative media critics, meanwhile, have long objected to what they alleged was Wolffe’s deferential treatment of Obama both on MSNBC and, previously, for Newsweek.

Is anybody outraged by the lack of transparency on Healthcare issues?

Dennis Kucinich on Health Care



July 26, 2007: Dennis Kucinich speaks truth to power during his Wake Up America campaign. Needless to mention the corporate media and "the powers that be" decimated him to being a voice in the wilderness.

There is still time for this country to demand real change. Healthcare is the single most important issue, and our so called representatives in government are condoning what I call "Corporate Healthcare" and "Welfare for the Elite".

As we speak, I am listening to a quote by our president, on Air America, recommending that we all fill out a living will. I have done one my self he says, which makes me wonder...What's the point? Healthcare is what we need and we need it for everybody, not just for the folks that can afford it.

So...zzzzZZZZ* I looked on Obamas website, whitehouse.gov, for some information and transparency on the healthcare issue for the sheeple...) :

I’m especially grateful that so many members, including some Blue Dogs on the Energy and Commerce Committee, are working so hard to find common ground. Those efforts are extraordinarily constructive in strengthening this legislation and bringing down its cost."
