Hydrocarbon fires fueled by diesel (which was apparently stored at WTC 7) and normal office materials cannot evaporate steel. Steel does not evaporate unless it is heated to at least 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Everyone agrees that fires from conventional building fires are thousands of degrees cooler than that.
The 545 People Responsible For All Of U.S. Woes
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 235 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.
I excluded all but the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it.
No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislation's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Eating soy linked to memory loss
Researchers determined people who ate soy at least twice a day had 20 percent less memory function that those who ate it significantly less.
Hogervorst said vegetarians and elderly women seemed to be highly susceptible to potential memory loss from soy consumption.
U.S. Okayed Korean War Massacres
The American colonel, troubled by what he was hearing, tried to stall at first. But the declassified record shows he finally told his South Korean counterpart it "would be permitted" to machine-gun 3,500 political prisoners, to keep them from joining approaching enemy forces.
In the early days of the Korean War, other American officers observed, photographed and confidentially reported on such wholesale executions by their South Korean ally, a secretive slaughter believed to have killed 100,000 or more leftists and supposed sympathizers, usually without charge or trial, in a few weeks in mid-1950.
I linked to Uruknet and immediately started to get spam warnings from Blogger....
There is a relentless campaign going on to silence Uruknet, by Google.
Many sites have already been "locked" by Blogger for their political content or their links, on the pretext of being so-called "spam sites".
Big Pharma Is in a Frenzy to Bring Cannabis-Based Medicines to Market
While the the American Medical Association claims pot has no medical value, Big Pharma is busy getting patents for marijuana products.
The US government's longstanding denial of medical marijuana research and use is an irrational and morally bankrupt public policy. On this point, few Americans disagree. As for the question of "why" federal officials maintain this inflexible and inhumane policy, well that's another story
One of the more popular theories seeking to explain the Feds' seemingly inexplicable ban on medical pot goes like this: Neither the US government nor the pharmaceutical industry will allow for the use of medical marijuana because they can't patent it or profit from it.
US planned nerve gas tests on Aussies
Newly declassified Defence and Prime Minister's office files show that the US was strongly pushing then prime minister Harold Holt's government in the 1960s to allow tests of two of the deadliest chemical weapons ever developed -- VX and GB, better known as Sarin nerve gas.
This is the U.S. on drugs
Only cops and crooks have benefited from $2.5 trillion spent fighting trafficking.
The United States has been spending $69 billion a year worldwide for the last 40 years, for a total of $2.5 trillion, on drug prohibition -- with little to show for it. Is anyone actually benefiting from this war? Six groups come to mind.
TVNL Comment: The drug trade is controlled in many respects by the CIA. The money is used to fund illegal black ops. The pharmaceutical industry also wants drugs like pot to stay illegal because it it were legal we would see about 40% of prescription drugs replaced...by a joint! Pot is safer and more effective and many, or I should say most competing expensive drugs. More on the drug trade and the CIA in this video...
Employers use federal law to deny benefits
The story has played out often under the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Designed to protect employee benefits, the law has been used by employers as a shield against suits.
Federal appeals courts, interpreting Supreme Court decisions dating to 1993, consistently have said companies that offer health, life and retirement benefits under ERISA cannot be sued for large amounts of money, or damages. Instead, they can be sued only for typically smaller sums such as Amschwand's insurance premiums.
