Idiocy flocks and sticks to the flypaper of many salient points. It is typically the job of the truthful astute to lead or flick the idiots from the flypaper instead of throwing the salient point itself out with the bathwater. Instead of defending the salient point you have tarnished it with the brush of the idiots.
911, within our current historical frame of reference, is the only crime that still contains the power to utterly devastate and destroy the status quo power structure, and CD is the lynch pin upon which it rests. This is so because it is the only easily demonstrable evidence that is easily understandable to the masses.
Most other crimes and conspiracies are welcome noise to the status quo power structure, as they gratefully use them for camouflage and deflection. In time, just like JFK, 911 CD will also lose its power as the smoking gun to utterly devastate the status quo power structure. This is so because the bulk of each new generation of the population views crimes of the past, after they have been historically revised, as something that no longer requires their scrutiny.
Until 911 CD loses its power to devastate the status quo power structure, people complicit in the preservation of the status quo power structure will busily protect the lynch pin, as they camouflage themselves by revealing many other crimes and conspiracies that no longer have the power to devastate the status quo power structure.
Silence on salient points is not necessarily protection of the status quo. Some speakers choose silence in an effort to protect their own houses, and for this reason I cannot fault those who know and are silent. Noam Chomsky comes to mind, and perhaps some in our present company.
There is a distinct difference between active promotion and silence, and here the difference is made.
Being a hero has devastating disadvantages that, understandably, many are not willing to shoulder. I might have to include myself in this group if I were the owner of an enterprise that traded in information that relates to the truth. We are all very brave until our mettle is tested, and few people have had their mettle tested by the fire of true power.
I would urge all to read apologydue's words again, and again, until you've fully understood their implications.
Jack R - you've raised the right questions. Though it appears to elude you that over the last several years Jeff has constantly, persistently, and consistently denigrated any and all who have suggested that CD/assisted collapse is a worthwhile area of inquiry.
Yet here we now have independent confirmation that CD was discussed by one of the principals involved in the hours preceding the collapse of WTC 7. Nevertheless, Jeff's attitude, as demonstrated above, (emblematic of many others) continues to be 'move along, nothing to see here'.
This revelation not only puts CD on the table, but front and center, particularly as freefall speed has been documented for several seconds of the duration of the collapse of WTC7.
Your info placing the military personnel trained and skilled in demo at the scene of the crime is very useful and adds further to putting CD front and center.
Your government lies to you regularly. It's what they do best, and it's about all they have left.
But it's all phony. 911, cd, health care reform , the perception that SEC acts in the public interest, the money you have in your purse, the FED, mortgage securities, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Al-Qaeda, the Bill of Rights, Habeus Corpus, torture and rendition keep you safe, the MSM, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. It's ALL FAKE.
Spontaneous collapse of 3 steel frame skyscrapers.... FAKE. Free fall speeds that have been documented to have been achieved during several seconds o WTC7's collapse event prove that, even if one's conditioning and enfeebled brain cannot process. Unfortunately, that's not even the worst of it.
People cling to their beliefs, religion, their pre-conditioning and 'truth', and the lies they've been fed as that's how their brains have been conditioned and how they organize their world and maintain their ability to function... That's human nature and only a minority are able to rise above it.
Others, like Jeff, feel compelled to feed them. Jeff is one of the best.
