Fourteen Incredible Facts About 9/11

Posted on August 8, 2015 by Kevin Ryan

As the 14^th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it’s important to remind people that we still don’t know what happened that day. What is known about 9/11 is that there are many incredible facts that continue to be ignored by the government and the mainstream media. Here are fourteen.

1. An outline of what was to become the 9/11 Commission Report was produced before the investigation began. The outline was kept secret from the Commission’s staff and appears to have determined the outcome of the investigation.
2. The 9/11 Commission claimed sixty-three (63) times in its Report that it could find “no evidence” related to important aspects of the crimes.
3. One person, Shayna Steinger, issued 12 visas to the alleged hijackers in Saudi Arabia. Steinger issued some of the visas without interviewing the applicants and fought with another employee at the embassy who tried to prevent her lax approach.
4. Before 9/11, the nation’s leading counter-terrorism expert repeatedly notified his friends in the United Arab Emirates of top-secret U.S. plans to capture Osama bin Laden. These treasonous leaks prevented Bin Laden’s capture on at least two separate occasions.
5. Former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger was caught stealing documents from the National Archives that had been requested by the 9/11 Commission. The Commission had previously been denied access to the documents but the White House reluctantly agreed to turn them over just as Berger was trying to steal them.
6. The official story of the failed air defenses on 9/11 was changed several times and, in the end, paradoxically exonerated the military by saying that the military had lied many times about its response. The man who was behind several of the changing accounts was a specialist in political warfare (i.e. propaganda).
7. Military exercises being conducted on the day of 9/11 mimicked the attacks as they were occurring and obstructed the response. NORAD commander Ralph Eberhart sponsored those exercises, failed to do his job that day, and later lied to Congress about it (if the 9/11 Commission account is true).
8. A third skyscraper collapsed late in the afternoon on 9/11. This was WTC 7, a 47-story building that the government’s final report says fell into its own footprint due to office fires. The building’s tenants included U.S. intelligence agencies and a company led in part by Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Meetings were scheduled there to discuss terrorism and explosives on the morning of 9/11.
9. News agencies, including BBC and CNN, announced the destruction of WTC 7 long before it happened. One BBC reporter announced the collapse while viewers could see the still-standing building right behind her in the video. Years later, after claiming that it had lost the tapes and then found them again, BBC’s answer to this astonishing report was that everything was just “confusing and chaotic” that day. Of course, one problem with this is that the news agencies predicted the exact building, of the many damaged in the area, that would collapse. Another big problem is that no one could have possibly predicted the collapse of WTC 7 given the unprecedented and unbelievable official account for how that happened.
10. Construction of the new, 52-story WTC 7 was completed two years before the government knew what happened to the first WTC 7. In fact, when the new building was completed in 2006, the spokesman for the government investigation said, “We’ve had trouble getting a handle on building No. 7.” The construction of the new building, without regard for how the first one was destroyed, indicates that building construction professionals in New York City did not believe it could ever happen again.
11. Ultimately, building construction codes were not changed as a result of the root causes cited by the National Institute for Standards and Technology for destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings. This fact shows that the international building construction community does not believe that the WTC buildings were destroyed as stated in the official account.
12. AMEC, the company that just finished rebuilding the exact spot where Flight 77 was said to hit, was put in charge of cleanup at the WTC and the Pentagon. The man who ran the company, Peter Janson, was a long-time business associate of Donald Rumsfeld.
13. The response of the U.S. Secret Service to the 9/11 attacks suggests foreknowledge of the events in that the agency failed to protect the president from the obvious danger posed by terrorists.
14. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission notified the FBI of suspected 9/11 insider trading transactions. That evidence was ignored and the suspects were not even questioned by the FBI or the 9/11 Commission.

There are, of course, many more incredible facts about 9/11 that continue to be ignored by authorities and much of the media. Let’s hope that the next major terrorist attack results in legitimate reporting and unified calls for truth before fourteen years have passed.

Russia Is Going To Pass A Law Formally Dumping The U.S. Dollar

Posted by George Freund on September 4, 2015

By Michael Snyder, on September 2nd, 2015

Russian President Vladimir Putin has introduced legislation that would deal a tremendous blow to the U.S. dollar. If Putin gets his way, and he almost certainly will, the U.S. dollar will be eliminated from trade between nations that belong to the Commonwealth of Independent States. In addition to Russia, that list of countries includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Obviously this would not mean “the death of the dollar”, but it would be a very significant step toward the end of the era of the absolute dominance of the U.S. dollar. Most people don’t realize this, but more U.S. dollars are actually used outside of the United States than are used inside this country. If the rest of the planet decides to stop accumulating dollars, using them to trade with one another, and loaning them back to us at ultra-low interest rates, we are going to be in for a world of hurt. Unfortunately for us, it is only a matter of time until that happens.

When I first read the following excerpt from a recent RT article, I was absolutely stunned…

Russian President Vladimir Putin has drafted a bill that aims to eliminate the US dollar and the euro from trade between CIS countries.

This means the creation of a single financial market between Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and other countries of the former Soviet Union.

“This would help expand the use of national currencies in foreign trade payments and financial services and thus create preconditions for greater liquidity of domestic currency markets”, said a statement from Kremlin.

For a long time, tensions have been building between the United States and Russia over Syria, Ukraine, the price of oil and a whole host of other issues. But I didn’t anticipate that things would get to this level quite yet. It is expected that Putin’s new bill will become law, and this is only one element of a much larger trend that is now developing.

You see, the truth is that Russia and China have both been dumping dollar-denominated assets for months. The following comes from a recent piece by Mac Slavo…

Last year Russia began unloading massive amounts of their US dollar reserves. In the month of December 2014 alone Putin sold some 20% of the country’s U.S. Treasurys, a move that further increased tensions surrounding what can only be described as economic warfare between East and West.

Then, as if part of a coordinated effort, this summer it was revealed that China had implemented a similar strategy, dumping half a trillion in dollar denominated assets.

But that’s just the beginning of the end for the US dollar. Amid a major meltdown in Chinese stock markets the People’s Republic sold off billions in dollar assets last week in what was reported to be an effort to stabilize their collapsing financial markets.

And now, as Russia’s economy collapses under the weight of American and European sanctions, including what many believe to be widespread downward manipulation of oil prices, Vladimir Putin is sending a clear signal to the central bank of the world’s reserve currency.

China has the second largest economy on the entire planet, and Russia has the tenth largest. In recent years, these two superpowers have become much tighter. For example, just consider this headline from Sputnik News that I came across just today: “Crippling US Foreign Policy Draws Russia, China Closer Together“.

And I don’t know if you have noticed, but U.S. relations with China have turned rather sour lately. Lots of accusations about spying and trade violations have been flying around, and just this week five Chinese warships were spotted off the coast of Alaska. In the months ahead, expect our relationship with China to continue to unravel.

If China and Russia were to both fundamentally reject the U.S. dollar at some point, much of the rest of the world may choose to follow suit.

So why is that important?

The fact that most of the nations of the world use our dollars to trade with one another creates a tremendous amount of artificial demand for our currency. In other words, the U.S. dollar is valued much higher than it otherwise would be just because it is the de facto reserve currency of the planet.

As a result, we can import massive amounts of products at super cheap prices. When we go to Wal-Mart or the dollar store, we can fill up our carts with lots and lots of ridiculously inexpensive stuff. Our standard of living is way higher than it actually should be.

And because the U.S. dollar is used so widely in global trade, major exporting nations end up with giant piles of our currency which they have been willing to lend back to us at ultra-low interest rates. This has made it possible to fund our massively bloated federal government and to go 18 trillion dollars in debt.

If the rest of the world stops using our dollars and stops playing our game, we will be in a tremendous amount of trouble. The cost of imported products would absolutely skyrocket and our standard of living would go way down.

In addition, the federal government (along with state and local governments) would have to pay much more to borrow money which would rapidly create a gigantic debt crisis.

So Russia knows where they could really hurt us. Most of the “power” that America currently projects around the world is based on having the de facto reserve currency of the planet. If you take our financial power away, we would be far, far less imposing on the global stage. Sadly, the truth is that the U.S. military is rapidly shrinking and has largely been defanged by the Obama administration.

A lot of people that will read this article will not understand this, but it is very, very important to keep an eye on this emerging Russian/Chinese alliance. I believe that it is going to play a critical role in world events during the years ahead.

YET ANOTHER EXPLOSION IN CHINA…

Posted on September 6, 2015 by Joseph P. Farrell •http://gizadeathstar.com/2015/09/yet-another-explosion-in-china/

Here's another story that appeared this last week that was virtually on eveyone's radar (when they weren't focussed on CERN), and hence, it's impossible to thank you all. It is worth a look(the last linked article gives an idea of the truly huge size of the explosion:
Trending Refugee crisis Aylan Al-Kurdi Next Labour leader ISIS UK weather Technology Money Travel Fashion Mums Home News World news China explosion China explosion: City of Dongying rocked as huge blast rips through chemical factory
China Rocked By Another Massive Chemical Explosion
China Rocked By 3rd Massive Chemical Explosion!
As noted, this most recent explosion occurred at another chemical factory in Dongyong, so we now have three explosions in Chinese Chemical factories within the approximate time of one month. Like the other factories, this one also appears to have been manufacturing dangerous chemicals. So we are now chin-to-chin with some harsh questions. Could these all be accidents? Well, certainly, and it is tempting to write them off to the inefficiences of "a corrupt centralized command economy and a Communist government," but frankly folks, I have as much difficulty believing the Chinese are that stupid.  Two may indeed be a coincidence, but three seems to be pressing the limits of believability, especially since these are all chemicals factories, and more or less close to the China's Pacific coast. Which brings us to the possibility that everyone is talking about: covert US/western retaliation for the Chinese devaulation of the yuan, which, on the face of it, is a plausible if horrific and dangerous scenario. I also speculated, thanks to a suggestion from Catherine Austin Fitts, that this could just as easily be corporate retaliation, rather than that of a state actor.  I've been informed that in fact, the Chinese government is quietly investigating both of these angles, but obviously, I do not live in China nor do I have any way of verifying if this is true. If it is true, it is certainly not surprising.
But there is yet a third possibility that no one is looking at or considering, and it must be mentioned simply for "high octane completeness", and that is that this might be reflective of internal struggles within China itself. Why do I suggest this? Firstly, because it would be all too easy for internal factional infighting within China to be passed off as western imperialistic aggression, especially given the long and known history of such western practices vis-a-vis China. One need only thing of the Boxer Rebellion or the Opium Wars. Secondly, and more importantly, recall that at approximately this time last year, the news coming out of CHina was rather odd, as there were indications that Mr. Xi Jinping had placed the entire Chinese military on alert. Speculation abounded that there was perhaps even a coup that was being thwarted, a coup being contemplated by the rich oligarchs of Hong Kong and Shanghai. The story appeared quickly, and disappeared just as quickly. And the third, and most disturbing possibility, is that we might be looking at a bit of both scenarios: factional infighting being butressed (and used) by the USA. Weighing against the first and the third views, however, are the fact that with the notable and significant exceptions of Japan and the USA, virtually every other major western power has jumped on board China's Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank, including Germany and the United Kingdom. They would hardly, under such circumstances, cut their own throats and fall on the financial sword for the USA.
The bottom line here seems to be that regardless of whatever scenario is in play, it now is more probably that some sort of scenario is in play, which means that Tokyo, Beijing, Jakarta, Canberra, and London (not to mention the District of Corruption), bear watching very closely.

RECENT CERN FINDINGS COULD CHALLENGE THE STANDARD MODEL

Posted on September 5, 2015 by Joseph P. Farrell •http://gizadeathstar.com/2015/09/recent-cern-findings-could-challenge-the-standard-model/

This was one of those stories that was on everyone's - well, almost everyone's - radar this past week, for there is news coming out of the world's Cosmology Cartel, CERN, that may be opening the door to alternative physics models other than the standard model.
New Large Hadron Collider study may overturn Standard Model of physics
Now, what interests me (for our high octane speculation purposes) are these curious statements.

"The Standard Model says the world interacts with all leptons in the same way. There is a democracy there. But there is no guarantee that this will hold true if we discover new particles or new forces," said Maryland professor Hassan Jawahery, ahead of the publication of his study in Physical Review Letters. "Lepton universality is truly enshrined in the Standard Model. If this universality is broken, we can say that we've found evidence for non-standard physics."
The research is particularly important, as it indirectly builds on another experiment, the Stanford University-based BaBar study, which has been in progress since the 1990s, and also appears to contradict the Standard Model.

When we seach for the recent explanations from Stanford's Babar experiment (which, incidentally, is called BaBar because B mesons are written with a big capital B, and their anti-particle "equivalent" is written with a big B with a bar over it, hence, "BaBar"), we find this intriguing reference:
BaBar Experiment Confirms Time Asymmetry Time's quantum arrow has a preferred direction, new analysis shows
And in this, we find these statements:

Time marches relentlessly forward for you and me; watch a movie in reverse, and you’ll quickly see something is amiss. But from the point of view of a single, isolated particle, the passage of time looks the same in either direction. For instance, a movie of two particles scattering off of each other would look just as sensible in reverse – a concept known as time reversal symmetry.
Now the BaBar experiment at the Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has made the first direct observation of a long-theorized exception to this rule.
Digging through nearly 10 years of data from billions of particle collisions, researchers found that certain particle types change into one another much more often in one way than they do in the other, a violation of time reversal symmetry and confirmation that some subatomic processes have a preferred direction of time.
Reported this week in the journal Physical Review Letters, the results are impressively robust, with a 1 in 10 tredecillion (10⁴³) or 14-sigma level of certainty – far more than needed to declare a discovery.

Now, for those of you who know the name of Dr. Nikolai Kozyrev, the famous Russian astrophysicist, this will be sounding awfully familiar, for Kozyrev, as a result of a rather different chain of reasoning concerning the fusion process in stars, came to a very similar conclusion, namely, that time was, in effect, its own form of energy and that it had a preferred spin orientation. One of the chief differences (as far as this hack from South Dakota can tell), is that the Stanford experiments are obviously concerned with things on the quantum (very small) scale, and Kozyrev was talking about things on the macro(very large) scale. Not surprisingly, Kozyrev related his thoughts to the phonemonenon of torsion.
Reading a little further into the Stanford article, we find this arrestings series of statements:

“This is a fresh way to understand data we had already used to measure CP violation,” said BaBar physics coordinator Abner Soffer, associate professor at Tel Aviv University. “By looking at it slightly differently we were able to undeniably see time violation as well. What’s nice is that the effect was there the whole time, but nobody had thought about it the right way before.”
Time violation had previously been seen in particles called neutral kaons by the CPLEAR experiment at CERN, but that measurement was not direct because of the inability to distinguish T violation from CP violation, and the interpretation of those results drew some criticism. It’s hard to set up laboratory conditions that can see time reversal violation, Martínez-Vidal explained. But BaBar provided just the right conditions for a clear, direct measurement.

In other words, CERN appeared to have very loosely confirmed similar results, and while it is certainly stretching things a great deal, it can be said that perhaps CERN, like Stanford, was looking for such events, above and beyond Higgs bosons and quark-gluon stangelets and all the other weird deities in the quantum mechanical pantheon.
All of which leads us to our high octane speculation of the day. You'll note that the RT article about CERN finding things that could either significantly modify, or perhaps even overturn, the Standard Model of particle physics appeared on August 30, just a few days ago. Then, a day later, this article appeared at RT, also about CERN, but with a completely different focus:
10 mind-blowing facts about the CERN Large Collider you need to know
Now, there are the usual pro forma disclaimers at the bottom of the article about the contents not representing the official views of RT (or the Russian government), which raises all sorts of thorny questions. Why would one of the mouthpieces of the Russian government choose to run such an article about CERN(a day after the previous one, remember), under the heading that these are things you need to know about the Large Hadron Collider? The question to my mind is intensified when one considers the contents of the article itself, which, by picturing Shiva and the so-called "666" corporate logo (which, in my opinion, could equally be just a stylization of the five accelerators that comprise the machine, or just as easily be a "999" reference for Hermetica-Egypt fans), seems to be raising en passant all the conspiracy theories out there concerning the machine.But more important than pictures of CERN's logo or Shiva, there is this extremely odd set of paragraphs that follow an even odder section header:

9. Massive gravitational pull
The CERN collider is composed of some 9,600 super magnets – which are 100,000 times more powerful than the gravitational pull of Earth - that fire protons around a circular track at mindboggling speeds. A beam might rotate for up to 10 hours, travelling a distance of more than 10 billion kilometers, enough to make it to the far reaches of our Solar System and back again. Travelling just below light-speed, a proton in the LHC will make 11,245 circuits every second.
No less amazing are the magnet’s coils, which are made up of 36 twisted 15mm strands, each strand comprised in turn of 6000-9000 single filaments, each filament possessing a diameter as small as 7 micrometers. The 27km length of the LHC demands some 7,600 km (4,100 miles) of cable, which amounts to about 270,000 km (145,000 miles) of strand — more than enough to circle the Earth six times at the Equator. According to the CERN website, if the filaments were unraveled, they would “stretch to the Sun and back five times with enough left over for a few trips to the Moon.”

This is followed by a review of the warnings from Hawking, and a review of the court case attempt in Germany to prevent the collider from being fired up at all. It's that little mention of "massive gravitational pull" as a section header along with details about the magnetic strength of the LHC itself that suggests to this layman hack from South Dakota that someone, somewhere in Russia, has made a connection between magnetism and gravity, and, moreover, to possible magneto-gravitational effects that might be induced by the collider, altogether apart from any public references to quantum mechanical experiments. In short, what RT seems to be suggesting is that the machine is about much more than quantum mechanics; that it is, in fact and reality, a machine able to manipulate effects in the large and even planetary scales, and that the particle physics is the "cover story" for a much grander, and very different type of physics experiment. We don't find many scientists talking about such possibilities - or even willing to admit them - but nonetheless they would seem to this layman to follow inevitably from the structure of the machine itself: a strong local magnetic field, sheathed in a (potentially piezo-electric?) molasse of rock, all within the greater context of the Earth's magnetic field, which in turn forms a much larger macro-system coupled with that of the Sun... I even suggested that the stacked character of the Proton Sychrotron in relation to the Collider plus the counter-rotation in the Collider itself, might under certain circumstances induce a kind of magnetic field precessional wobble... well, you get the idea. The bottom line, at least for this hack, is that it still appears that CERN may be about far more than just slamming packets of mathematical information together, and the RT article may thus be a little reminder that the incomplete theories of yesteryear - I'm thinking Kron, Kaluza-Klein, and so on - may be incomplete, but that does not make them un-engineerable...
