From Chapter 11 "The World Trade Center Bombers (1993)" by John V. Parachini: *
The World Trade Center bombing occurred on February 26, 1993. (re: 72)

The prosecution, in 1994, of the terrorists was trying to make a case that was worse than it already was. That is, they were trying to "trump up" an even more sensational scare story about what happened.

It had been believed (by Judge Duffy) that the terrorists used Sodium Cyanide in the hopes that it would turn into Hydrogen Cyanide gas which would have, most likely, killed everyone in or near the building. But, the prosecution claimed, that the Sodium Cyanide burned off so was, luckily, unable to kill anyone. Of course 6 people were killed and many more were injured.

But, there was no forensic evidence to support the presence of sodium cyanide although very little forensic information, as to the contents of the bomb, could be ascertained due to the mess that it caused. So, most of what we know came from the purchase orders the terrorists made. Water and sewer lines were opened and flooded the area which "washed away" the potential forensic evidence.

This book is refuting that they used Sodium Cyanide although they probably would have if they could have. They used 13 different chemicals to create a 1500 pound urea-nitrate bomb. Seems to me that was the same kind of bomb that was used at the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing.

The terrorists were more inept and bumbling than would have been state-sponsored terrorists. It costs the terrorists about $10,000 and they even used coupons to minimize the cost of the chemicals. They even tried to claim the deposit back from the car rental agency after the bombing. Pretty stupid for sure! State-sponsored terrorists would have easily made the money available and they would have used less-bungling idiots for the job. But then, the 9/11 terrorists were not all that bright either...leaving a trail of brazen boasts and clues along their pre-911 trail.

It stands to note, as well, that all of the patsies that the FBI tricked, and aided, in attempting to do terrorist acts were not exactly very intelligent either. Then, the FBI would "catch" them and claim they saved the US from another terrorist attack. These people are nothing but opportunistic scum that seek to keep the public fooled into justifying their positions and to keep the criminal military, industrial, spying complex raking off scare money and blood money from the taxpayers.

One thing that stands out is that the bomb created a crater in the parking garage 200 feet by 100 feet and 7 stories deep. True, the towers were built with more massive steel beams in the lower floors and got less massive toward the top.

So, how could a more light-weight, collapsing upper structure cause all of those more massive beams below to collapse? Apparently, nothing was slowed down. It was like magic, defying physics, that those buildings all came down at close to the speed of free fall. The only way that could happen is if the more massive lower structures were timed to be removed just like they do in demolitions. They only way the buildings can come down and not tip over is if timed charges were placed just like in demolitions.

So,the 9/11 planes, hitting the upper floors, would leave much less weight (above the crash zone) than the bomb in 1993 cause the building to collapse (where the entire weight of the building was above the crater zone).

Why did WTC7, which NIST claims collapsed because only one vertical support beam gave way due to the heat of office fires?

8:46:30: Flight 11 crashes into the north face of the North Tower (1 WTC) of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99.

9:03:02: Flight 175 crashes into the south face of the South Tower (2 WTC) of the World Trade Center, between floors 77 and 85.[15]

9:58:59: The South Tower collapses, 56 minutes after the impact of Flight 175.

10:28:22:[10] North Tower collapses, 1 hour and 42 minutes after the impact of Flight 11

10:28 +: 7 World Trade Center started burning after the collapse of the North Tower.

5:20:27: The penthouse on top of 7 World Trade Center crumbles apart, only about 6 seconds before the entire building would begin to collapse.

5:20:33: 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story building, collapses. fires lasted about 7 hours before WTC7 collapsed.

If office fires caused WTC7 to collapse...and it took 7 hours....then why did it take only less than an hour for WTC2, the south tower, to collapse?

WTC1 and WTC2 were crashed into by planes and had momentary jet fuel fires. They crashed into one side and the logic would demand that they should have, at least, bent over in the direction of where the planes crashed.

WTC7's fires were caused by WTC1 (the North Tower) and mostly affected only one side...so why didn't WTC7 bend over, or fall over to the "weakest" side. Why did all three buildings come straight down at near free fall speeds and look exactly like demolitions? WTC1 and 2 demolished from top down and WTC7 from bottom up. These things are very doable by controlled demolitions.

You must admit that it's not just the fossil fuel industry that are bad actors in terms of environmental damage.

The bio-fuels debacle, the windmills fiasco, pesticide runoff from big agriculture, the meat industry, the nuclear industry, the arms industry, the fishing industry, plastics, pharma, and many more have all caused severe environmental damage.

Singling out big oil or coal is rather selective.

Chuckl8 - I do not mention leveling off nor did I say there *is* a cooling trend (although recent NOAA findings from the USCRN dataset do show a cooling trend in the Contiguous US states over the last decade).

The main piece gives the impression and at times outright says we are experiencing warming when the IPCC acknowledges there has been no significant warming in 18 years.

I am also always surprised when people talk of disappearing sea ice at a time of increasing total sea ice cover. It's strange that never gets the mention it deserves.

Prof Mullen's charts showing natural factors controlling variation in temps at a time when there has been no significant global warming in nearly 2 decades would kind of suggest the climate change we are seeing is not solely man made, would it not? In most warmist' eyes that wouldmake him a denier, hideous descriptive that it is.

(And let us not forget that the funding issue is a smokescreen used to distract from proper discussion - even given the fact that so much more is spent on Pro-AGW propaganda and research than anti).

According to "stats"...

Listen CHUCK screw the "stats", at least when we are talking accountability. Yes I know that most voters are a bunch of sheep and are clueless about their own actions and therefore don't, er can't, accept accountability. However ignorance is not an excuse nor a means of defence. Anymore anyone who votes for a Wall Street groomed candidate out of fear, ignorance, or desire is accountable for their actions regardless of their cognative distortions. Further more I DO NOT have any empathy for those who live above their means and then expect to be bailed out. Same for students with outrageous debt. They were not complaining about their tuitions when they applied to those schools.

Now ALL of that being said I do subscribe to the idea that we MUST change our ways when it comes to Free Market...Lets get back to the gold standard and stricted regulations when it comes to loans and investing. NO ONE should be able to profit from scamming others. And yes I also support more affordable student loan programs.

It is my opinion, based on history and current events, that too far Right and too far Left will never bring resolve to this countries social and economic issues. Further more until We the People take back our Government from the Corporations we will continue to feel socially burdoned, and hopeless. The good news is - as George Carlin would say - "Endotripy", The theory that all systems are in a state of decline and without proper attendence and ajustments eventually will crash and burn.
So sit back have another drink...a few more pretzles, some MSG, hit the bong, and enjoy the show. This IS reality T.V.

Every president in my lifetime (except maybe Carter) has been an idiot. - AIW

chuckle8: Pay no attention to those men behind the curtain creating fake money on their computers that they create debt with. When "growth" is all backed by a Ponzi Scheme it's all a matter of time till the bubbles pop. And when the only people who can create the illusion of wealth can no longer fool the masses into investing their money in those Ponzi Schemes, especially the rest of the world who are beginning to know better and who are dumping the dollar, then another world war is very likely. When the average investor, say with their 401Ks, goes up against high speed trading, they have very little chance of not losing their money.

The fossil fuel industry treats this beautiful planet like a sewer. How long must we put up with this? Seriously. - AIW

These climate deniers just never give up. Drill baby drill! Drown the Arctic in the bathtub! Fossil fuel rules! - AIW

Pro-nuclear and/or fossil fuel dirty energy advocates are living examples of S**t Canned Ethics for Short Term Profits!

"Release of the International Surface Temperature Initiative’s (ISTI’s) Global Land Surface Databank, an expanded set of fundamental surface temperature records "

Calling GW deniers everywhere. Go crawling to your Koch dirty energy funded mendacity for profit-over-planet mindfork propaganda "think"(septic) tanks for your "talking points". The liars are going to have to come up with some world class bull***t verbal gymnastics to find ANY questionable data in this COMPREHENSIVE, PEER REVIEWED DATA SET.

"Guest post by Jared Rennie, Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites, North Carolina on behalf of the databank working group of the International Surface Temperature Initiative.

In the 21st Century, when multi-billion dollar decisions are being made to mitigate and adapt to climate change, society rightly expects openness and transparency in climate science to enable a greater understanding of how climate has changed and how it will continue to change. Arguably the very foundation of our understanding is the observational record. Today a new set of fundamental holdings of land surface air temperature records stretching back deep into the 19th Century has been released as a result of several years of effort by a multinational group of scientists.

The International Surface Temperature Initiative (ISTI) was launched by an international and multi-disciplinary group of scientists in 2010 to improve understanding of the Earth’s climate from the global to local scale. The Databank Working Group, under the leadership of NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), has produced an innovative data holding that largely leverages off existing data sources, but also incorporates many previously unavailable sources of surface air temperature.

This data holding provides users a way to better track the origin of the data from its collection through its integration. By providing the data in various stages that lead to the integrated product, by including data origin tracking flags with information on each observation, and by providing the software used to process all observations, the processes involved in creating the observed fundamental climate record are completely open and transparent to the extent humanly possible. - "

Demand an END to DIRTY ENERGY NOW!

"Approximately 13 percent of the U.S. electricity supply was powered by renewables as of the end of 2013, roughly half of Germany’s rate."

http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/07/08/3456934/renewable-one-third-germany/

The USA, a historic leader in new technology, is getting left behind because of the profit-over-planet biosphere degrading fossil fuel industry that buys our politicians with the profits from pollution producing fuels while said politicians keep fossil fuel and nuclear power plant "subsides" (taxpayer theft!) to tilt the energy playing field against renewable energy.

We need to ELIMINATE DIRTY ENERGY SUBSIDIES and start the FULL TRANSITION to CLEAN ENERGY NOW!

America DOES NOT have to play second fiddle to being the first country to win the Climate Victory because of idiot greedball, war loving fossil fuelers. As part of being responsible, caring human beings, we have to pressure our government to take major action to stop the degradation of the biosphere from climate change. This is causing death and disease to both domestic animals and wildlife, all of which have done nothing to deserve such a horrible fate at our hands. It's time to eliminate the excuse our fossil fuel loving oligarchy uses for "resources" wars for oil that bring nothing but misery to us and profits for them.

I started a petition on Care2: Demand Liberty From Fossil Fuels Through 100% Renewable Energy WWII Style Effort. I'm hoping that if enough people sign my petition, we can make a difference. Will you help me collect more by adding your name?

Here's a link to the petition: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/Ai3Tb

Thank you and please pass it on. The biosphere you save may be your own.

I thought the defense industries were paying a lot to clean up their damage on US soil.
