Disturbing Conjecture

The following is an excerpt from the message board @ Brahma's World:

'Hard-working' job ad banned to protect the lazy

A businesswoman has been banned from asking for 'hard-working' staff in a job ad because it discriminates against the lazy.

Beryl King was told by a Jobcentre that her advert for warehouse workers discriminated against people who were not industrious. Beryl, 57, told the Daily Mirror: "I couldn't believe my ears. Has our world gone mad? "I've been running my business for 27 years and it's getting harder to find people who want to do a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. "How long before someone says you can't pay people for working because it discriminates against those on benefit who are paid for not working?"

Beryl, who owns two job agencies in Totton, Hants, offered £5.42 an hour for "warehouse packers who must be hard-working and reliable".

The Southampton Jobcentre is investigating. A spokesman said: "Words such as 'hardworking' can be accepted if used with a clear job description."

~*~ Right on man. Why should the hardworkers get all the jobs...?

Now....on to some extra-disturbing conjecture....

In a recent message I metioned a website that asks questions that I've been asking for quite some time. What Really Happened . But those questions concern just one aspect of that tragic day....the hijacked aircraft and lack of military interception. Allow me a moment to question more coincidence (a favorite pastime of mine, as regular readers are well aware), this time concerning the WTC collapse.

I've been pondering these events for some time now....starting from the begining, 9/11/1.

As the first tower fell, I (along with most of the world) was of course absolutely shocked and horrified. But at the same time I was totally amazed by how the building imploded upon itself much like a planned demolition. (We've all seen news footage of old buildings coming down upon itself with minimal if any damage to the surounding area). Even as I watched the event happen.....at some point during those 8 seconds I thought, "how odd...".

Coincidence of course CAN happen....and this is of the most fortunate variety. It could have toppled over like a stack of legos and caused WAY more damage and loss of life. Do you realize that teams of engineers spend untold billable hours performing endless mathematical equations to insure such a happening? What an unbelievable stroke of luck! The plane demolished the building with as much efficiency as a team of mathematical experts! WHAT a coincidence.....it couldn't happen that way again in 1000 tries.

Half an hour later, it happened again, exactly the same way.


I wasn't as surprised at the time since the first one fell the exact same way.....and by then shock had set in fully anyway. I expected an eventual explanation that never came. So it was a little while before I started questioning these things.

But let's for a moment assume that the first plane hit the perfect spot to cause such an implosion....odd as that would be. Then......my problem would be with the second collapse. The second plane had an entirely different point of entry. Yet....somehow...miraculously.....the EXACT SAME RESULTS occured! Now THAT'S coincidence. Unless all those "expert" engineers are full of crap and just trying to pad the bill......perhaps buildings can be imploded and removed withOUT reams of mathematical equations and mega-manhours of planning. Do you believe that? Does THAT seem likely? Could I interest you in some prime swampland in Florida?

Now....it's a hard fact to wrap your brain around....and most people just refuse to even try. The ramifications are WAY too intense to consider....whether you were personally effected that day in New York or not. The only monster we want to consider responsible is bin Laden and his despicable cronnies. So, to wit: It's all just fortunate coincidence of happenstance as far as how the towers came down.

Andie tried to make the case that this event was so well planned that the planes hit the exact spots neccesary for perfect implosion. Of course, I couldn't offer proof otherwise. But a recent houseguest who fortunately participated in one of these ongoing discussions had a good point. Even if such a planned manuver WAS possible......why wouldn't they plan them to collapse on top of other nearby properties.....say, the New York Stock Exchange, for instance....? Why plan a perfect implosion that takes the minimal amount of lives and property?

These are just the questions folks.....the answers lie within the forensic evidence....that aren't open to public inspection. Please consider the information contained on the following site and help me investigate the verasity of the stated facts:

New Seismic Data Refutes Official Explanation Of Collapses

Two unexplained "spikes" in the seismic record from Sept. 11 indicate huge bursts of energy shook the ground beneath the World Trade Center's twin towers immediately prior to the collapse.

American Free Press has learned of pools of "molten steel" found at the base of the collapsed twin towers weeks after the collapse. Although the energy source for these incredibly hot areas has yet to be explained, New York seismometers recorded huge bursts of energy, which caused unexplained seismic "spikes" at the beginning of each collapse.

These spikes suggest that massive underground explosions may have literally knocked the towers off their foundations, causing them to collapse.
In the basements of the collapsed towers, where the 47 central support columns connected with the bedrock, hot spots of "literally molten steel" were discovered more than a month after the collapse. Such persistent and intense residual heat, 70 feet below the surface, in an oxygen starved environment, could explain how these crucial structural supports failed.....(cont)


...The foundations of the twin towers were 70 feet deep. At that level, 47 huge box columns, connected to the bedrock, supported the entire gravity load of the structures. The steel walls of these lower box columns were four inches thick.
Videos of the North Tower collapse show its communication mast falling first, indicating that the central support columns must have failed at the very beginning of the collapse. Loizeaux told AFP, "Everything went simultaneously."
"At 10:29 the entire top section of the North Tower had been severed from the base and began falling down," Hufschmid writes. "If the first event was the falling of a floor, how did that progress to the severing of hundreds of columns?"

Asked if the vertical support columns gave way before the connections between the floors and the columns, Ron Hamburger, a structural engineer with the FEMA assessment team said, "That's the $64,000 question."
Loizeaux said, "If I were to bring the towers down, I would put explosives in the basement to get the weight of the building to help collapse the structure."

SEISMIC 'SPIKES'

Seismographs at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y., 21 miles north of the WTC, recorded strange seismic activity on Sept. 11 that has still not been explained.

While the aircraft crashes caused minimal earth shaking, significant earthquakes with unusual spikes occurred at the beginning of each collapse.
The Palisades seismic data recorded a 2.1 magnitude earthquake during the 10-second collapse of the South Tower at 9:59:04 and a 2.3 quake during the 8-second collapse of the North Tower at 10:28:31.

However, the Palisades seismic record shows that-as the collapses began-a huge seismic "spike" marked the moment the greatest energy went into the ground. The strongest jolts were all registered at the beginning of the collapses, well before the falling debris struck the Earth.

These unexplained "spikes" in the seismic data lend credence to the theory that massive explosions at the base of the towers caused the collapses.

A "sharp spike of short duration" is how seismologist Thorne Lay of University of California at Santa Cruz told AFP an underground nuclear explosion appears on a seismograph.
The two unexplained spikes are more than 20 times the amplitude of the other seismic waves associated with the collapses and occurred in the East-West seismic recording as the buildings began to fall.

Experts cannot explain why the seismic waves peaked before the towers actually hit the ground.....

...Evidently, the energy source that shook the ground beneath the towers was many times more powerful than the total potential energy released by the falling mass of the towers. The question is: What was that energy source?

~*~ I need help doing the time consuming searches on the names and places named. For all I know, there is no such place as Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

And I may as well include this:

9-11 Black Boxes Found

A 9-11 rescue worker recently came forward to say he was told by FBI agents to “keep my mouth shut” about one of the “black boxes” a fellow firefighter helped locate at ground zero, contradicting the official story that none of the flight and cockpit data recorders were ever recovered in the wreckage of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers

Honorary firefighter Mike Bellone claims he was approached by unknown bureau agents a short time after he and his partner, Nicholas DeMasi, a retired New York firefighter, found three of the four “black boxes” among the WTC rubble before January 2002. ...(Cont)


~*~ And tonight we honor a Brooklyn grandfather who was forced to give his life in Iraq. I can't believe we need grandfathers to fight in Iraq.


Soldier Killed In Iraq Is Mourned In Brooklyn



A soldier from Brooklyn was remembered Saturday for making the ultimate sacrifice for his country.

Family and friends mourned Army Corporal Joseph Behnke at a funeral in Dyker Heights. Behnke was killed in Iraq on December 4, when his Humvee crashed into a barrier in Baghdad. Behnke's unit was based in Crown Heights. He was remembered for using his skills in engineering and carpentry to build furniture for his fellow soldiers.

Behnke was 45 years old. He leaves behind five children and five grandchildren.
