I listened to an interesting show a bit ago...
James Fetzer.
Hour 1 Hour 2
A caller comes in on the second hour and says that he worked in a position in the late 80s where he was aware of the EPA declaring that the Twin Towers had to be taken down because of the asbestos exposure [/b], and that they hired a demolition company to develop a plan to do the job. So apparently all of the logistics required to "pull" the buildings was developed a long time ago by the best minds in the demolition business. How that all connects with what happened ... who knows, but that does explain that there WAS a well developed set of plans at the very least. These are two interesting hours of interviews... - NonE[/size][/quote] You lit the fuse on that candle I was holding but neither of use realized it was a stick o Dyn - O - Mite! ;D

Damn, these people come along and make a big thing, a BIG THING, out of just one little lapse of brain function on my part. Take it and turn it into this HUGE DAMNED SPECTACLE of my supposed mental incompetence. Hmph. Aren't there some kindza laws protecting good people like me from the likes of these anti-social trouble makers? Marc? Anyone? HELP!!!

Oh, yeah... and by the way... You're probably sorta right, from what I've read. I don't know that ALL asbestos is okay, but from what I understand, there are only certain kinds of fibers that are a problem, and the problem is really not much of an issue in general conditions. Now if you're a worker in the stuff AND you smoke, there appears to be a REAL hazzard that is pretty predictable. But otherwise it appears only to be a lawyer full employment act kind of issue.
Since listening to that show, I've listened to a few other of Fetzer's shows. The man has some problems. It sounds as though he's gonna blow a gasket much of the time. And I notice that frequently he has guests on, and then speaks FOR them instead of letting them speak for themselves, and when they DO speak, he walks all over them if they don't TOTALLY agree with every nuance of his perception of the issue. He really does his issues more harm than good, I think, coming off as a raving lunatic even when he is discussing something wherein he has good and accurate knowledge.
Oh, well. I guess that's okay since I was really looking forward to someone new to model myself after and to help me refine my skills as a speaker and host of serious debates. He is almost as good a role model as Bill O'Reilly.

Ok NonE,
I'm sorry. I must have ate too many lead based paint chips as a kid. (I really liked the flavor).
It was kind of difficult though to watch a 30 year old who spent a few years in manufacturing with that stuff in the late 70's with the physical capacity of the average 85 year old because the "new" stuff's supposedly not dangerous like that bad naturally occurring stuff that has been in use since the 1930's and has over 3 thousand uses, Including the brakes on your car.
I guess I really should quit getting out a straw and snorting that brake dust every time I change the brakes. Mixing that and Lead Paint doesn't help my mental acumen. ;D

Just thought I'd offer a "WOW, THAT'S A GREAT ADDITION TO THE RBN LINEUP!" thought, re. James Fetzer's recently-added show (June2006) mp3.rbnlive.com/Fetzer06.html- - - update:oops, I think I was getting Mr. Fetzer mixed up with Kevin Barrett, who IMHO is a calm, articulate, skilled debater. So make that a "restrained wow that's great" based on the surprising observations from nonE: Alex Jones clone? Disinfo shill placement? Both? Hmm... Fetzer's gasket-blowing, IIRC, was on full display in the CSPAN coverage of the recent Los Angeles 9/11 Symposium.

911 truth bristol47 min 22 sec "this film is a compilation of the views of 911 footage from around the world. Watch this 45 minute film and make up your own mind about the truth by looking at the facts." ...sorta like a "best of" -- each "topic" is covered by showing clips from various other videos (e.g. the melting of steel due to "fires" shows some of Painful Deceptions, then some of Loose Change) Great idea, 911TB! more here: www.911truthbristol.com/videos/films.html

from the site: "...the personal stories of tragedy and triumph that led to the formation of the 9/11 Commission and the publication of the Commission's landmark report. From miraculous individual feats of survival to the final recommendations to make America safer, this moving documentary features never-before-seen interviews from families directly touched by the tragedy..."wow. I'm still trying to make out what this use of the word "landmark" means?!? and of course, no mention of the 'miracles' necessary to make the official conspiracy theory = Commission Report plausible... but of course all the emotional warm & fuzzy buzz words for distraction~ [side bar: I also understand from one of the unofficial conspiracy videos that it took Bush like 411 days to appoint a commission, where it took only 5-9 days for the tragedies of JFK assassination & Pearl Harbour attack, etc] I'd not heard of this piece of work, NonE, so thanx for the posting~ from what I've read, rather than being "Commission" it should be "The Omission Report"~

Am I seeing things or did I read that correctly . . . .
It said, When Americans demanded to know what went wrong something went right?
Or do they mean far right like fascist war monger.
BTW I have been hearing this catch phrase lately. Islamic Fascists. Now someone anyone please explain that one for me. I thought fascisms was a marriage or merger between corporate interests and state power (i.e. use of aggression to accomplish the corporate goals).
Back to the main point: Did anyone else here notice all the emphasis on the "touchy feeley" emotional aspect of this Docufiction?
When someone wants to do that up front and to immediately evoke some emotional reaction/attachment as opposed to discussing the emotional nature and/or impact (since emotion is natural in extreme events), my reaction is to think someone is trying to obscure logic reason and rational thought for another motive.

I thought fascisms was a marriage or merger between corporate interests and state power (i.e. use of aggression to accomplish the corporate goals). Fascism has always been protrayed as something unique from democracy, or even socialism (i.e. communism) so that "democratic socialism" could be accepted (i.e. the last 4 decades) without any complaints even from those involved in the "cold war" AGAINST socialism (oops I mean communism ) We know what fascism REALLY is, instead what the western "leaders" do is they redefine terms (*cough*anarchy*cough*) so that in this case when people hear "fascism" they think "totalitarian dictator who makes the 'trains run on time'" ... so that way when Bush/Blair/Harper -- so-called "democratic leaders" do identical things, they aren't looked at as fascists since it's not TOTAL control... And they can be as thoroughly integrated with globalist/corporate interests as they wish since the sheeple have no idea that that's what real fascism is. PS: watch it, dude... you included "logic" in the same discussion-context as left/right politics it should be "The Omission Report"~ Aye cap'n, just like the title of one of David Ray Griffin's books Amazon search link <-- check it out ; I am linking to SEARCH results because WOW there's a buncha really good titles that came up, including a couple I've never even heard of

"identical things" indeed~ "We (The People) Good; they (the touted enemies) b-a-a-a-a-a-d." mental minder: Humpty Dumpty Time is relevant to: "' When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.' ..." (how's that for a tie back to the thread title?!)
