  US investigators solve 9/11 mystery

  August 22, 2008, 8:32 am

  [ Enlarge photo ]

  US investigators say they have solved the mystery of the collapse of World Trade Centre building seven in the September 11 attacks.

  The 47 storey trapezoid sat north of the World Trade Centre towers, across Vesey Street in New York city's lower Manhattan.

  On September 11, it was set on fire by falling debris from the burning towers, but sceptics have long argued that fire and debris alone should not have brought down such a big steel and concrete structure.

  Scientists with the National Institute of Standards and Technology say their three year investigation of the collapse determined the demise of WTC seven was actually the first time in the world a fire caused the total failure of a skyscraper.

  "The reason for the collapse of World Trade Centre seven is no longer a mystery," said Dr Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator on the team.

  Investigators also concluded that the collapse of the nearby towers broke the city water main, leaving the sprinkler system in the bottom half of the building without water.

  The building has been the subject of a wide range of conspiracy theories for the last seven years, partly because the collapse occurred about seven hours after the twin towers came down. That fuelled suspicion that someone intentionally blew up the building in a controlled demolition.

  Critics like Mike Berger of the group 9/11 Truth said he was not buying the government's explanation.

  "Their explanation simply isn't sufficient. We're being lied to," he said, arguing that there is other evidence suggesting explosives were used on the building.

  Sunder said his team investigated the possibility that an explosion inside the building brought it down, but found there was no large boom or other noise that would have occurred with such a detonation.

  Investigators also created a giant computer model of the collapse, based partly on news footage from CBS News, that they say shows internal column failure brought down the building.

  Investigators also ruled out the possibility that the collapse was caused by fires from a substantial amount of diesel fuel that was stored in the building, most of it for generators for the city's emergency operations command centre.

  The 77 page report concluded that the fatal blow to the building came when the thirteenth floor collapsed, weakening a critical steel support column that led to catastrophic failure.

  "When this critical column buckled due to lack of floor supports, it was the first domino in the chain," Sunder said.

  The NIST investigators issued more than a dozen building recommendations as a result of their inquiry, most of which repeat earlier recommendations from their investigation into the collapse of the two large towers.

  In both instances, investigators concluded that extreme heat caused some steel beams to lose strength, causing further failures throughout the buildings until the entire structure succumbed.

  The recommendations include building skyscrapers with stronger connections and framing systems to resist the effects of thermal expansion, and structural systems designed to prevent damage to one part of a building from spreading to other parts.

  A spokeswoman for the leaseholder of the World Trade Centre, developer Larry Silverstein, praised the government's work.

  "Hopefully this thorough report puts to rest the various 9/11 conspiracy theories, which dishonour the men and women who lost their lives on that terrible day," said Silverstein spokeswoman Dara McQuillan.

  In discussing the findings, the investigator Sunder acknowledged that some may still not be convinced, but insisted the science behind their findings is "incredibly conclusive".

  "The public should really recognise the science is really behind what we have said," he said, adding: "The obvious stares you in the face."

  Neighbours crack down on noisy sex

  August 15, 2008, 7:30 pm

  A man has been banned from visiting his girlfriend's home in the UK because of their noisy sex sessions.

  A court has barred 32 year old Adam Hinton from being within 100 metres of 29 year old Kerry Norris' apartment after hearing about complaints from the neighbours.

  Residents had complained about thumping music, banging headboards, and screamed obscenities.

  They also said Norris sunbathed naked in her back yard.

  An official said, "She is a classic nightmare neighbour," insisting the case was not about sex. "It's about allowing your neighbours to have a normal decent life without being disturbed."

  Norris had ignored a previous court order demanding that she be more quiet.

  Who do you think the King of The North is?

  by Number1Anarchist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  let me know thru your studies who do you think the king of the north is?.

  russia or china i'm guessing but that would be a logical choice.. this is my opinion but i think with the united states getting involved in territories that are under control of russia and china is reaching a boiling point and eventually somone is gonna say i have had it i'm not taking this anymore.. i read this also that in a chinese proverb they have a sayin "kill the chicken to frighten the monkey" the chinese beleive the attack on iraq was the chicken and they are the monkey.. now i'm hearing they are or may blockade iran.

  if this happens it could be the final straw but maybe not but i think very soon we will see the knig of the north rise up in defiance to the united states.. let me know what you think please!.

  I thought all christianity beleived in the king of the North?

  I don't profess to be linked to any christian organization or will i ever!

  But i thoutht it was all christian theology to beleive in some kind of king of the north.

  All christianity? No, only some oddballs perhaps and the endtimers.

  Christian scholarship on this is no different from the historical. See leolaia's post above.

  So, who's the next "king of the north™"? Whoever the Watchtower Society wants it to be! Generally it's whichever part of the world is currently demonised in American thinking.

  What seems strange to you?

  “IN MY country to be a Christian means to go to church once a week,” says Kingsley, from one African country. Raad, from the Middle East, explains: “In our community Christians are viewed as a group who follow Western customs and traditions in their dress, celebrations, and treatment of women.”

  After all, isn't this how "worldly" people perceive the dubs? Just substitute the word "Christians" with "Jehovah's Witnesses" and see what happens!

  Yep, they follow particular Western customs. Good grief! Their men wearing western suits in the most remote locations - notice how incongruous they look? Notice how they always 'stand out'?

  They have particular celebrations e.g. their annual Christ rejection meal where unlike anywhere else they actually reject the bread and the wine! Now that would have to be weird!

  Their treatment of women? Their women are required to wear a certain style of dress, nothing else is acceptable at the Kingdom hall, in their prosyletising work, even when volunteering at their meeting places! And speak? Oh no, never let a woman teach! Never let a woman face the audience to speak when on the platform.

  Just a small example again of the 'hide the thimble' techniques used by them.

  Brain washing? Certainly.

  Has Bigfoot been found?

  August 14, 2008, 10:34 pm

  Two professional hunters in the United States claim to have found the body of a Bigfoot.

  Former prison guard Rick Dyer and policeman Matthew Whitton say they found a dead Bigfoot in north Georgia but will not reveal the exact location.

  According to their website www.searchingforbigfoot.com, the pair is keeping the specimen in a freezer and will reveal details of its DNA and photographic evidence at a press conference in California on Friday.

  They claim the creature has two arms with five fingers on each hand and two legs with five toes on each foot.

  It is also allegedly a male, 2.3m tall and weighing in at more than 230kg.

  They said it looks "part human and part ape" with reddish hair and blackish-grey eyes.

  It is not the first time the pair has promoted a Bigfoot find.

  In 2005 they offered viewers a chance to see a beast captured on a pay-per-view television channel for $59.95 but it did not happen.

  Dyer and Whitton claim many Bigfoots were spotted walking upright in the area where the body was found.

  They have promised extensive scientific studies will be done on the body by a team of scientists including a molecular biologist, an anthropologist, a palaeontologist and other scientists over the next few months at an undisclosed location.

  One man involved with the find is Tom Biscardi, founder of the Great American Bigfoot Research Organisation.

  Mr Biscardi had once claimed to capture a Bigfoot himself but it turned out to be a hoax.

  Several Bigfoot sightings have arisen over the years but none have really produced substantial evidence that could be proven true.
