  1. Delusions on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1

    (1) Shatter: I'm sure they did shatter. But into vapor? Whatever. And where did you pull this Mach 1+ stuff from? Every commercial airline pilot I've heard talk about manuvering a 757 into and out of a spiral dive at 500 MPH said the plane would not have withstood the forces. It could not make the manuver. Now you come up with, out of your ass, a Mach 1 figure. Use common sense man. Really.

    (2) Dispersal: The wings shear near the fuselage, the engines are further out on the wings. Make yourself any model to reflect this setup, and manuver it through a hole the size of the fuselage. You will notice that the walls will not exurt a torquing force to the wings. The massive weight of the engines would also resist a torquing force if there was one. The wings would have been plucked off, or entered the building. But folding along the fuselage is as nutty as anything else. Use common sense and physics.

    (3) Destroyed due to fire: Kerosene burns at low temp. You could burn titanium parts for years in kerosene and still tell what the original parts were.

    I don't really care if arabs or bushies did 9/11. The only things giving me headaches these days are totally weak stories people are telling themselves and others in order for them to preserve whatever illusions they want to keep about this country. The only thing that is certain about 9/11 is that many people can't make the connection between the what they saw and what they were told. The others will tell themselves anything that is remotely plausible in order to not be burdened with knowing they are being lied to.

    The worlds biggest embassy being built by the US on the banks of the Tigris, and the many military superbases being built around Iraq are testiment to everything you said.

    I think too that the PNAC crew that are currently implementing their Plan for a New American Century, believe they are partiots. Patriots to the utmost.

    Perhaps they are patriots, whatever that means. But what they are not, are human. They are animals, fighting over a bone. To them the world is lesser, and america is the only. Everyone, including americans, suffers as a result.

  3. Re:knew I'd seen it before... on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1
    The wings on most aircraft today are made to shear off (eg; snap off of the fuselage) upon impact, in order to reduce the risk of ruptured fuel tanks discharging their burning payload directly into the cabin.

    Good point.

    Um, so where did the sheared off wings go? Oh, and the two 10ton rolls-royce engines attached to them?

    Are you saying it is easy for you to believe that the wings (and engines!) sheared off, folded neatly along the body, and vaporized along with everything else on the plane? No leaving impact marks, nor pieces of themselves anywhere outside the building?

    There is no rational thought on either side of this subject. The tinhats who thought up the 'hologram' theory are nuts. But the people who buy the official line on this stuff are very delusional as well. Anything to avoid confronting that the US is not the shining diamond on a spire that they were sold growing up.
  4. Re:Bushy on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1

    How about this: Bush is a patsy, a frontman. There is a cabal (PNAC guys - cheney, wolfy, rummy, etc..) that pulled together 9/11. Bush had the basic idea, but was purposely not told so he could have plausible deniability. I base this on the fact that the first 8 months of W's presidency was a whole lot of nothing. No direction, no accomplishments. Just clearing brush. He was probably told he didnt need to worry about doing much of anything, since his real presidency would start after 'a pearl harbour' of sorts (to quote PNAC).

    The 7 minutes he sat stunned, his brain was repeating to himself "Holy shit shit shit shit! They did it. They are actually doing it. Holy shit!".
    And he knew who was behind it, so he didn't feel compelled to jump up and find out what was going on.

  5. New? That is an OLD VIDEO on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That video has been out for years. All the conspiracy sites show it. This is creapier than ever - the pentagon is rebranding an old video as 'cooperatively releasing sensative information that proves once and for all that a plane hit the pentagon'? Seriously?

    And no, I can not spot a 757 in that video. If I was a man in the desert for 50 years, and never heard of 9/11, then saw that video for the first time and was asked to describe what I saw, it would be: "a stream of smoke, a flash, a ball of flame".

    Whatever. This news is an insult. A joke is being played here. Again.

  17. Monsanto failed to protect IP on Monsanto Plant Patent Case Winds On · · Score: 0, Troll

    Monsanto (and any 14+ IQ surface dwelling organism) would know that wind blows seed. Thus seeds move in wind, thus wind moves seed. Seed+Wind == Wind+Seed == Seed laden wind == Repositioned seed.

    Knowing this ahead of time, probably even before they invented their Roundup surviving freak-seed, Monsanto should have known that in order to protect their IP, they would have to stop the afformention equation. To do so would mean any Monsanto seed buying farmer must build a biodome around their entire field. This way, no cross-pollination could occur.

    And since these biodomes were never installed, nay, never even suggested! Monsanto is proven entirely neglegent in protecting their IP, thus the patent is invalid.

    QED.

    ...for the farmer!?

    If the farmer didn't buy Monsanto seed, why should he suffer from the natural consequences of wind, pollen, and chaos? In fact, why couldn't the farmer sue Monsanto for damages brought about by Monsanto (including this current lawsuit)?

    And if this a case about accidental/natural seed contamination, why isn't every farmer on the planet trying to bring down Monsanto?

    Thank god the EU has some humanity and dignity left. I praise their stance on GM foods which is basically denying them completely, even wilfully paying fines brought by the WTO to not allow GM food trade.

    Why would any nation allow, let alone a single farmer choose to use patented seeds under these restrictions? I'll answer my own question - GREED.

    I hope Monsanto looses this one in a big, utterly devastating, way.
