Media Round Up

With the upcoming release of Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" and the 5th Anniversary of 9/11 coming up, the media coverage of the conspiracy theories is continuing to heat up. Just today Jason Bermas faced a rather hostile (although not hostile enough) interviewer on MSNBC. I say the more the better, the more exposure these guys get to the real media, as opposed to suckups on websites and fringe radio, the more the will be shown for the dishonest hacks they are.

Bermas idiotically states:


Nobody is here to disrespect the victims the family members and say that they are off somewhere, we believe they are alive. We just happen to believe that a commercial airliner did not strike the Pentagon.















After being questioned about this by the host, he reversed himself. But remember, a mistatement is not accidental, reveals your true feelings. Just ask Larry Silverstein and Donald Rumsfeld.

FoxNews' Bill O'Reilly, Kevin Barrett's number 1 fan, also had a clip this evening where he interviewed Jim Meigs from Popular Mechanics on their new book Debunking 911 Myths, which incidently has a new website. It was a pretty good interview, although a bit short. My number one complaint was that he addressed the cell phones on planes issue only by saying that cell phone calls can be made from planes. That is true, but as I have shown it is mostly irrelevent, since almost all the calls were made on airfones anyway. Anyway, I ordered the book today on Amazon, but they say it is not in stock yet. If anyone knows of the O'Reilly clip on the Internet, let me know and I will link it.

Update: Here is the O'Reilly clip.

C'mon, man, Barnes and Noble! (Even though I'm just a lowly receiver.)

LOL I shop there often.

Disclosure notice: I am interning for a certain technology company in Seattle this Summer, and it is not Microsoft.

Is this where we get to tell everyone what we do....lol...not likely

No, you don't have to. I just didn't want to get accused of ethical violations...

Boeing doesn't count, they are really a Seattle company that defected.

Jason Bermas is a researcher? Then why is he lying about thermate?

Still no proof for thermate, according to Jones himself: "The samples are predominantly iron, so we can rule out the 'molten aluminum' hypothesis with a high degree of confidence. There is very little chromium, so that the 'molten structural steel' hypothesis is highly suspect. Yes, there is sulfur -- but proving the use of 'thermate' positively will certainly require further analyses and comparisons with samples of known origin (such as thermate-products)."

what about Barium Nitrate...isnt that like 27-29% of Thermate...

Oh and sulfur....Gypsum (ie drywall)....rubber...cleaning products...the list goes on

Oh, and guys, thought I'd let you know that the LC forum members bombed a CNN poll from August 7th about 9/11 Theories

http://edition.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATION/08/06/sept11.theories.ap/index.html
That is the poll location

Here is the thread where they hatched their plan.

Some stores have the book now. There was a guy at GZ that had a copy.

Amazon's lying to you, they're in on the conspiracy.

You think Jason is an idiot?

Try talking sense into Dylan!


WHhhhooooo!

I wonder if the poll Alex Jones quotes was spiked too.

Stupid comments of the day, from the Amazon posting of the Debunking 911 Myths book

We know this book is a lie! BYU Physics Dept. find Controlled Demolition of WTCs, "thermate" traces!

On August 1st, on C-SPAN, Brigham Young University Professor and acclaimed Physicist, Steven Jones, announced that the BYU Physics analysis of debris from the WTC towers had traces of "thermate."

Thermate is an explosive steel cutting charge, used only for controlled demolition. Jones explains that the ONLY reason thermate traces would be found on the WTC debris (obtained from two independent sources) was IF the WTCs had been brought down from "controlled demolition."

He DID NOT FIND THERMATE. I believe he says he found chemical residue that COULD BE consistent with thermate. That being alluminum and/or iron oxide, and sulfur...hmmm now finding those things in settling on metal in a debris pile of two 100 plus storey buildings...hmmmm any drywall or rubber (sulfur)...any aluminum siding....any iron....hmmm....did he make any comment on if any barium nitrate was found??

I don't agree with him at all politically, but he's hilarious.

And why compare us to Nazis? Most of us didn't vote the current Administration. Can you explain that, Einstein?

I just think that getting all steamed up over what the goosesteppers call kooks is like being pissed off because a mental patient said "Bah!" instead of "Rah." It's irrelevant.

I guess I should also ignore creationists...I mean after all the Religious Right never got any power in America...oh, wait.

I'm a rebellious goosestepper.

Patriotism is supporting your country always and your government when it deserves it.

A smart man said that.

Secondly, "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

-Thomas Jefferson


Did you ignore two posts up or something?

Firstly, Einstein was considered a nutbar early in his career.

This is a logically fallacious argument. You're insinuating that all nutbars (or even any of them) have something valid to say because Einstein was supposedly considered one.

That would be like saying that the 911Goosesteppers are boot licking Steurmabteillung (SA)

Somebody hasn't heard of the Night of the Long Knives.

Temp, you gotta stop breaking Godwin's Law, too.

 
At 08 August, 2006 20:05, Blogger shawn said...

And who is this Godwin fascist clown? Is he the king of blogs or something? It sounds like he should be run out of town.

Godwin's Law says that the longer an internet discussion goes the closer the probability of comparison to Nazis reaches one. The person who first breaks the law is considered the "loser".

Must we all walk in lock step like the Tory's during the Revolutionary War? Or, can we be free thinkers, like the rebellious Whigs--Sam Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere, Dr. Warren, Isaiah Thomas, Thomas Paine, and many others...?

Whoever said this? You went around talking about how we're goosesteppers when ignoring that debunking the alternate theories is not being a government shill.

If I show what's wrong with creationism does that make me some kind of militant anti-religionist?

 
At 08 August, 2006 20:17, Blogger shawn said...

A goosestepper is simply like those wide eyed people with raised arms we see in the old footage. They gazed hypnotically as the 1930's Mercedes drives through the crown with the uniformed fascist leader aboard.

Yup, exactly like pointing out logical fallacies and unsound 'science'. Great connection.

 
At 08 August, 2006 20:28, Blogger shawn said...

A 911Goosestepper is simply one who would hang on Rove's every word. Ah, yes Mr. Libby. A, yes Mr. Rove. Everone else is a nutbar. You are ethical Christians (indictments aside). Oh Clinton, you are so charasmatic, despite your cover up of the drug running at Mena, Arkansas. Goosestepper toe the party line like good little Torys.

I was pointing out how we're bringing up the unsound reasoning and logic and lack of evidence the "Truthers" have.

That has nothing to do with toeing a party line.

Your accusation is like saying shooting down Holocaust deniers make us goosesteppers for Rove (which would be weird as hell, considering the topic).

 
At 08 August, 2006 20:30, Blogger shawn said...

If we were independent thinkers, we wouldn't be 101st Fighting Pawns --eh--keyboardists--eh--Torys

It's Tories, first off. Second, how does that make anyone pawns?

If we were independent thinkers, we wouldn't need the fascist logo, we'd raise Old Glory.

And if they put a big ol' flag you'd probably say that was a sign of goosestepping, too. There's no winning with you pal.

 
At 08 August, 2006 20:48, Blogger shawn said...

Ah, you're one of those believers in the disinfo agents, eh? Guess my first impression of you was right (I should've followed it anyway, anyone who compares us to Nazis isn't playing with a full deck).

Also, you have two acronyms mixed up. You want COINTELPRO, CENTCOM is a combat group.
