The only thing I know about the Alamo is that Americans died there and the brit pub across the street is a nice place to drink Guinness

I fear it will be from within by people who for whatever reason cannot see the danger faceing us.  THINK ABOUT IT. a foe who is b rain washed to kill innocent people along with themselves is something to take sirious.


Snuffie,

I agree. the biggest threat are the traitors from within. The mall shooting in Salt Lake City was done by an immigrant from Bosnia. Bosnia has a very high Muslim population. ( used to be higher before the attempted genocide that we helped stop)( did we get any thanks from any Muslims for stopping the mass slaughter of Muslims in Bosnia...NOPE) I will put money on the very real possibility that the shooting in the mall was a terrorist act by a radicalized Muslim. But we will never hear that on the news.

The fact of the matter is, there are bad people who want to hurt us(because we're americans), and they did on 9/11 unlike all the other unsuccessful attempts before 9/11. No conspiracy no gov't backing, we didn't know about it in advance. when buildings burn, they fall.
i truly believe that conspiracy theorists simply dive into rediculous explanations simply because you are too scared to face the fact that sometimes..... BLEEP happens.

And yes, i am patriotic dammit- and proud of it. i belive in the constitution of the United States of America, hot apple pie, the walt disney version of the alamo, long wet kisses with the woman you love, standing up for what you believe when everyone else believes your wrong, doing the right thing when noone else is around, and the freedom to worship whatever God i want without a leftist liberal telling me i might offend someone if ido.
I believe i'm tired of people in other countries telling me how bad America is, when a good percentage of my taxpaying dollars goes towards financing their countries problems.
And what I'm really tired of is people like you who pretend to be Ooo so knowledgable that when someone else has a differing opinion thn yours you insult them by calling them patriotic, like thats a bad thing. And just so you know- history gets to be written by the winners of a war - not the loosers.

Mach-
I take great stock in your lineage.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome posts njsgt,,,,and mach!!!!
i couldn't agree more with you both!!! Some people just llook for conspiracy theory in every single act,,,,geeesh

I'm not an engineer. By college degrees are in the Information Technology field. BUT, i did start my college career as a student of engineering, and did so for a couple years before changing majors. I understand the principles of load bearing structures, shear points, impact forces, and such. God knows, the physics of those forces, calculating them, that is, always gave me headaches.
 
But it doesn't take an engineer or a patriot to see that the buildings at the WTC were brought down by a combination of forces acting on those buildings. The impact of an object, weighing in at 395,000 pounds on an inmovable structure was sufficient to forcibly blow the sprayed on fire retardant. The removal of the fire retardant allowed the bare steel to become subject to the high temperatures of the fire. Jet-A burns at 980 degrees centigrade. The critical point of structural steel is 540 degrees centigrade. Without protection, the steel became subject to a temperature that would have quickly acted on its structure, weakening it to the point of failure.
 
At this point, gravity took over. The collapse of a structural steel floor, compounded by the massive weight onto the floors below it, pancaked the structure, bringing it straight down. The floors beneath the initial failure point collpased because of the weight of the floors above them, hitting them at 9.8 meters per second squared, the acceleration speed of an object under normal gravitic conditions.
 
Floor A collapses onto floor B, which combine their weight and collapse onto Floor C, which adds its weight to the collapse, and so on, until all of the weight is where it wants to be, on the surface.
 
It was a combination of factors that brought down the towers, impact force, heat of the fire, critical point of the steel, the loss of the fire retardant, the weight of the structure. Furthermore, in an interview with the architect of the Trade Towers, he clearly stated that while they were designed to withstand a plane impact, they were not designed to withstand the impact of something as large as the planes that did hit. They had been designed to hold up against the impact of a private light plane, like a Cessna or Beechcraft. Certainly not a 767-200 model.
 
I find it distasteful that folks would be quick to jump to the conclusion that the Towers were brought down by explosives or military missiles or little gray men from Reticula.
 
A clear presentation of the facts according to the science, should be enough to prove, without a doubt, how the Towers came down.
 
As for the Pentagon, well, that structure was designed as a military strong point, a Fort, if you will. The pentagonal structure is stronger, able to dissapate forces acting on the equal sides more efficiently. Also, as clearly shown on the video of the impacting plane, the plane did indeed strike the gound before bouncing up to hit the lower floors of one side, causeing a local collapse, but not of the entire structure.
 
The design was different for these two structures. One, the Towers, were meant to serve as centers for commercial trade. A civilian structure. The Pentagon is a military structure, designed against a different set of criteria, like a near atomic blast, something that the towers were clearly not designed to resist. Because of this high tolerance for structural failure, the Pentagon, while damaged, did not collapse.
 
And there's my .02 and my opinion on the matter.

Americans, Mexicans, and Texicans died there. As the saying goes, American by birth, Texan by the grace of God Big smile
 
And personally, I prefer Bass Ale...Guinness is just too darned thick for me. Though, given a choice, I'll take Shiner any day of the week. What can I say...I'm a Texan Big smile

Well its good to know that their are still people out there that think outside of the box! If a few individuals in the government were in cohoots with any incident or does screw us either by accident "man made"
or concealing facts and information from us, do you think they would be honest about it and tell us? How would we ever know? Maybe we should never question and just have faith that what we are being told is the truth, like Iraq. While everyone has their own opinions, it sure is nice to know that we all aren't sheep. My intentions were never to offend or attack anyone here.
I am sure there is some corruption and manipulation on all levels of government but thats classified. Everyday its getting harder and harder to know what to believe. Yes I do believe preping and communication is good for any crisis, we must all help each other find the right path Right? Anyway all my opinions. Thanks for the feedback!

 How do you explain WTC 7? No jet fuel, no significant fire.

Here's a video of an officer moving people back because WTC 7 is going to "blow up:"

 Mach, njsgt, Kilt, FictionWriter    Thank you for taking time to explain it all so clearly. 
 
A great book for understanding how influenza works, and how a pandemic is inevitable is The Great Inflluenza  by John M. Barry.  I know many of you know about it, but the skeptics and conspiracy people might see things in a much different light after reading it.  If they really want the truth they need to research the facts, not just rely on mainstream media, and the opinions of Jew haters.

Sarah,

Govts try to conceal things all the time. They don't like people to panic. Deception is everywhere. Corruption is at all levels. Secrecy is required to run a govt. But you have to look at the facts available, research the science and what makes sense, decide for yourself and pick your conspiracies carefully. There are cover ups out there, and there are very bad people, but most people mean well and are just trying to do their job as best they can.

Mach: Appreciate you much. Thanks for the intelligent posts. Thank you for who you are and what you are.
 
njsgt: Thank you for your wonderful post about patriotism. I am also very tired of other countries putting down America, her government, and her citizens. I grew up in a small town and went to a small church. Everyone knew everyone and none of the little ones could "get away" with anything since the neighbors and even the store owners acted as surrogate parents and the phrase "I'm gonna tell your mama" really carried some weight. But as I got older, it was easy to see the way a rumor or gossip could spread like wildfire and the next person would feed the flames as they passed it along, and usually the beginning of it was nothing more than supposition and an agenda to see the other person done in for whatever petty reason floating around in the gossip's head. The internet is a very useful tool to spread gossip with malicious intent and there is plenty of it about America and how wicked we are out there, most of it by enemies who would like to see America fall and people who are gulled by it and pass it along.
 
Jane and Nobody: No government is perfect. Mostly because you can't please all the people all the time, and you would be a fool to try. I have been upset by some of the things happening here off and on. But as an American I have the right to disagree with whatever I choose to disagree with and still be a law abiding citizen. Our president has tremendous responsibilities and has far more information about what is going on in this world than the rest of us would even dream of and I wouldn't want his job for anything.  However the world chooses to see President Bush and the citizens of this country as idiots, he is still My President and this is still My country and I'm dam glad to be American and don't want it any other way. What other country would you prefer to be running America if we throw in the towel and say " If you think you can do a better job, be my guest."?

It was extablished that the shear force of the impact of the planes flying over 500 miles per hr and weighing over 200,000 lbs blew the fire retardent( which is an insulation that is sprayed on) off the steel load bearing structure. The fire from 40,000 lbs ( 6,150 us gallons) of jet fuel burned in a relatively small wind fed space weekening the steel bearing load structure causing the structure to collapse upon itself. The tower that was hit lower down collapsed first,even though it was the second tower hit, indicating the amount of weight on the weakened structure was a factor.

But the main point to disprove that theory is in the video. Both buildings began the callapse on the floor that the aircraft struck. If someone had placed demolition charges in the building, do you really think anybody could fly those jets into the buildings at over 500 miles per hour and hit the exact floor where the charges were placed? And if they did, do you think the charges would have stayed intact in that immense explosion and fire resulting from the impact. Of course not. The charges would have exploded or burned when the planes hit the buildings, not 15 to 30 minutes later. It takes hours to place charges to demolish a structure, there is no way anybody could have placed charges after the impact, and we already talked about the charges not being able to survive the impact, so I can't see how anybody can possible believe that theory after looking at the facts.
    

The person posting as "nobody" is obviously seriously mentally ill. Just ignore him.  I saw the planes hit both buildings. I saw the raging fires that could easily melt steel supporting beams. Then I saw the collapse of the buildings.  The weight of one collapsing floor in a structure like that was enough to cause each successive floor underneath it to collapse. If you watched it and saw the speed that the upper floors came crashing down, it was amazing that some people in a stairwell actually survived.  The ground shook so violently when the building came down is was amazing that all the building for a block around did not collapse from the vibrations. The jolting and shaking was earthquake like.

It is total BS. Lethal Bird Flu has been killing people in Asia since 1996.  H5N1 was first discovered in Scotland in the Fifties.

Mind reading control? As for a vaccine for H5N1,  the chances of the general population getting it are practically nil until well into the pandemic since the producers of said vaccine will need to know what strain they are dealing with. In another thread here (and I apologize to the author, I've read so many I can't remember which one) Muslim children were not allowed to have the polio vaccine because Americans were using it to sterilize them.  What else can or needs to be said about small minds in malicious people?
If ignorance is bliss, what is chocolate?

Conspiracies and their theories have and always will be with us. Did you know that the Titanic was a conspiracy? Lincolns assination a conspiracy, the passover plot, talks of a conspiracy about Jesus crusifiction? They have always been here and always will be. Some maybe true and others not, no one will ever agree. This is what we do know for a fact.
Jesus was crusified
Hitler is now dead
The Titanic sunk and hundreds died
WW1 Happened
Lincoln died
WW2 Happened
People died a terrible death at Pearl Harbor
JFK is dead
Oswald is dead
Ruby is dead
9/11 three thousand Americans died
People died in 1918 flu
The point is, this forum is not about  establishing what truths do or do not exist as they have been reported in history.
All I need to know is that my fellow Americans died, they died not knowing, who did what. They died. The threat that is out there is very real. It is real in many avenues of life. I for one, prefer to prepare, and be able to care for my family no matter what the cause. I am not going to spend time, wondering if this could be real or not. I would rather be safe then sorry. I was thrilled that the Y2K threat never transpired. I was prepared if it did, I lost nothing in it, I had things, that my family used. I also am a firm believer that the public finding out about the Y2K threat, made all the difference in the way it was given priority and that it was taken care of. That is the same with this situation. I am not willing to risk the lives of my loved ones, on the gamble that this maybe nothing to worry about.
Heroes were born on 9/11, and heroes died. No matter what the situation, no one will ever take that away from them or the people. Just as with Pearl Harbor, they will live on forever, in our hearts and with our gratitude.

Saw a post above about 'evil' nano-technology.
 
Here's my background on nanotechnology. At Uni, I was a business major, but my graduate thesis was on the practical applications of Nanotechology as they applied to the business world. So, while I am not an expert, I am slightly better informed on this topic. The idea of using nanites to control someone is patently absurd.
 
The potential benefits of nanotech are pretty much boundless, BUT, it is also at least a generation away from being anywhere close to practical. Why? Cause our level of technology just ins't there yet. Sure, we can arrange indivudial atoms to spell out words, but while there are many scientists speculating at the benefits of it, the How of how we can make it work, still eludes us.
 
Think about it. You could build a robot for your house, that cleans the floor, serves you a beer, or runs your lawnmower. That's doable. Now, try shrinking that robot, to the point that you need an Electron-Microsope to see the whole unit. That's what nanotech deals with, where the individual component items of said robot are measured in terms of nanometers (billionths of a meter!)
 
In all of my research, over a 3 year period, never once did I come across a method for controlling the nanites externally. The control programs would have to be pre-written, and the nanites would be very specific, i.e., they would be designed to do one thing, and one thing only. For those of you who are interested, I'd recommend, 'Engines of Creation' by K. Eric Drexler, the acknowledged 'Father' of nanotechnology. Also try Naotechnology: Research and Perspectives, by Crandall. Both books are excellent reads, but you will need a strong foundation in math and most of the hard sciences to get through the equations in Drexler's book.
 
All of this new field, came about from a lecture given by Richard Feynman in the 1960's. Pure speculation back then, but pure research now.

Jane,

Even if flight 93 was shot down to protect washington DC so what. What other choice did they have. That's a far cry form the demolition of buildings lunacy that is talked about. If it was shot down, those poor people were dead either way, flown into the white house or capital building or shot down to protect DC, either way those people were dead.

With armed Fed LE pilots and air marshals, it won't happen again. The only people that will die in a hijacking in this country are the muslim hijackers.

Amen

Why is the talk of terrorism directed overwhelmingly at Muslims? Despite the rhetoric of a 'global war on terrorism,' by now we know all too well that this war is aimed at Muslims, mainly at Muslims in the Middle East. This is a war of 'colonial pacification' of Islamic lands: the Muslims must be 'pacified' to secure 'our' oil wells in the Persian Gulf, and to entrench Israeli hegemony over the Middle East. This is also a religious war for the radical core of American evangelicals; it fits into their theology of end times. We ignore this only at our peril.

World's Greatest Country? | March 23, 2004
 
On March 21, 2003, as I headed home, a day after the United States formally invaded Iraq, I ran into a colleague from Northeastern University--a professor of the humanities--at the Ruggles train station in Boston.
 
I was aware of his political inclinations, and he of mine, from previous encounters. Still, I thought we were on friendly terms.
"I bet you oppose the war," he greeted me, as I approached him.
"Not at all," I shot back, " I wish to see Iraq liberated as much as you."
 
Although, it was only the second day of the war, and the bombs and missiles were accurately on target, it appeared that the tension leading up to the war had taken their toll on our colleague's nerve. He snapped at my banter. Agitated, he began to poke his finger in my face, while lecturing me about how "thankful" I should be about living in "the world's greatest country ever." Luckily, my train arrived on time--for which I am thankful--saving me from an unhinged patriot's harangue.
 
This was not my first encounter with the overzealous patriotism that often dominates political discourse in the United States; and not only among members of the zany right. All too often, politicians rally their audience with inflated claims of American greatness. The United States is "the greatest country in the world." At other times, it is "the greatest country ever," "the greatest country ever conceived," or "the greatest country in the history of mankind." When the exuberance soars, America also "kicks ass!"
 
Nearly as often, one hears of the United States as the great Samaritan: second to none at 'civilizing' half-breed races. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, the United States is the "the last best hope of mankind," no less. More frequently, it is "the shining beacon on the hill."
 
Recently, John Kerry, Democratic Presidential candidate, roused students at UCLA, "I believe we can bring a real victory in the War on Terror. I believe we must, not only for ourselves but for all who look to America as the last best hope of earth." I have to wonder if the Vietnamese civilians killed by Kerry and his crew also looked upon them as "the last best hope of earth." [4]

I saw big foot being carried off by aliens, but they had an American flag painted on the side of their spaceship so I guess it is true that we have made "deals" with them. We get their technology, they get to eat big foot for lunch. As an extra bonus for our side, big foot doesn't get to eat US. It's no wonder big foot hides out so well; they've known about this conspiracy for years and years.

4thegirls: Thanks for the laugh. LOL You inspired me...but I have to confess that I didn't really see that. I got it from books and from articles on the internet, but not all at once, just bits. I had to figure out the truth for myself.

Mach: Amen. I will never believe that flight 93 was shot down and for them to say so denigrates the heroism by those people on board that flight. But you speak a hard, sad truth, that they were dead either way. And they knew it.

As NJSGT said a day ago....doing the right thing even when nobody is watching...

no matter what really happened on United Flight 93, those people on board rose up to hero status when they decided to take responsibility and action to save people on the ground, knowing full well they had a slim chance of survival if they were successful in taking the aircraft back. Whether they did take the aircraft, whether it was shot down or whether they never got into the cockpit, they achieved their selfless objective and prevented the airplane from becoming a weapon and they saved countless lives.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of that day, the lose of life, and the heros that were fireman, cops, crew, passengers and just people that woke up and went to work. I'm sure that most of the hero stories will never be told, because most of the heros died being heros, while nobody was watching.

You just told their stories; you told them for all of us.

There is a subset of our Human species out there, at large in the wilds of our lands.
They live by an internal moral compass that clearly shows right and wrong. For them, there are no shades of gray. They are average in pretty much every respect. They work at average jobs, make average pay, and live average lives.
They are unnoticed by all.
 
But when we need them, they are there to answer the call. They fight the fires, to keep us sheltered. They fight the crime to keep us safe. They stand at the borders to keep the unwanted and the contraband out. They stand atop the walls and the towers, and they keep our countries safe. They patrol the skies, ever watchful for those who intend us harm. They sail the seas, keeping the oceans open for commerce. They patrol our coasts, and guard our lives.
 
So, if you know one of these people, tell tham thank you. Show them your gratitude and your respect. Wave at them, bake them a cake, whatever it takes, but let them know they are appreciated.
 
They are the firefighters, the law enforcement officers, the soldiers, and the sailors. To me, they are the subset of the human species, known as the 'quiet Heroes'.

FictionWriter- First of all thank-you for your kind words. You summed up alot of us (in the public safety sector) quite eloquently. My world is very black and white and I don't believe in lying to my family, my patients or to save my own butt. This is not even about religious standards, but about values. I'm no hero and respectfully decline any tokens that say I am. The media ALWAYS gets the event wrong. I know when I've gone above and beyond and thats good enough for me. When I got into my chosen profession years ago I did it for the fun, the money and the glory. Well after a very short time I found out that you make your own fun, there is no money and the only glory is in the eyes of your peers, (when they say the the simple words "you done good"). It's not about modesty, its all about honesty to ones self.
Credibility is like virginity, once it is gone- it is gone forever.

While it's become more and more accepted in academia, it still remains aloof towards the public... like you and the rest who wouldn't like to discount Walt Disney.

My distance, locality, and origins are not uniform in regards to the average person. I'm not taunting anyone or anything, merely expressing the truth of a rather insignificant battle in history which was hijacked by public school history books and the Disney Corporation.

If I were to taunt a Texan, I'd firstly call them a Texican, and ask their overinflated sense of pride how American liberty and justice, in fact, the very Bill of Rights, DOESN'T apply to anyone outside of the US, and therefore 5 year incarcerations of detained suspects of "terrorism" are not permitted a trial of their civilian peers, the right to be tried in an expediant manner, or the presumption of innocence until proven guilty... I'd ask the texican what an "unalienable right" is, and why their own bred and born monkey in the white house can play the part of Yosemite Sam without being thrown in jail for atrocities which CAN be proven.
 

 
Quote But don't take my word for it. The Uni of Texas has a wealth of information on-line for scholars and sceptics alike.
 
I had family at the Alamo, on that fateful day. Fortunately my ancestor survived the Alamo, only to later be captured at San Jacinto.


Good for you... You live in that fantasy world where Americans live solely in America, and Texas institutions and figureheads don't commit perjury, or distort the truth in order to further a gain or manage the population.

I'm sure Texas U will purport that Scott Ritter is still incorrect about NEVER believing Iraq to have had "wmd's".  Before, during, and after.



I've tried to be respectful to a point in this thread, even going as far as to offer an olive branch for the sake of peace.... but if the contributors care to continually poke and prod me about the legitimacy of what I say, not withstanding the blatant condescension and arrogance thrown at myself and those who hold similar views.... well then, Gloves are off.

I don't suffer fools.... whether they be friend or foe.

Just how is calling me a Texican, an insult?
Texican is a contraction of Texan and Mexican...and hey, go figure, i'm a Texan of Spanish descent.
Nah, this ain't no fantasy world. If'n it were, then that big-haired, big-breasted Texican woman would be in my life and not Nobody's Wink
 
And as for our universities here in Texas, well hell son, I'll put up an Aggie or a Tea-Sipper, even a Red Raider,  against anyone in the world.
 
Yosemite Sam? Hmm, me thinks you've either just compared the PResident of the US to a cartoon character or vice-versa. Either way, I think Yosemite Sam would be mighty insulted, if'n he were real.
 
You, sir, may not like our President. Hell, there are a lot of US citizens who don't like him. But, until you vote in our elections, a right given to our citizens, then I don't see where you have the right to complain.
 
And as for everything else, I've always fancied the idea of Texas regaining it's independence...but that is merely a fantasy world...

Nobody: I think you miss the  point.  We do not believe everything the government tells us. We disagree with and are often angry about things that go on in this country and abroad.  We voice our opinions and are allowed to do so without having our throats cut. But no matter how much we might disagree, disbelieve, and complain we will still stand back to back for America against those who would want to bring her down. We are not just called America, we are the United States of America.  If we are so gullible, why is it we do not believe all the conspiracy theories? And why do you find it so hard to believe that there are other explanations than the ones offered by inflammatory websites? It seems to me that you want to blame our president for a lot of things wrong in this world but you need to take a longer view of what is happening on a global scale and then tell us what you would do to solve the problem of preserving America for Americans as if you were an American, not as someone who would not have to live with the consequences if all fails. We are aware here of mistakes and Americans have spoken out, not just with our voices but with our votes. But in the view of a lot of us citizens here in the U.S., we have been too "politically correct" for too long and the world views us like a redneck views a woman: bring me my stuff, hand over your paycheck, be nice sweet thing, I only slap you around for your own good, sit down and shut up! Our newspapers here could tell you that even nice, obedient redneck women can get fed up with the bull and that's when tshtf. President Bush is not a god, he is just a man with serious responsibilities and having to walk a fine line between world opinion (no matter how low it is, it could get a lot worse real fast) and doing his job.  We don't think of him as infallible, but he is our President and our Commander in Chief.
