I think what’s really surprising about the facts about World Trade Center Building 7 is all the continued speculation almost fifteen years later about other possible explanations for the observed period of gravitational acceleration involved in the building’s collapse. When it comes to WTC7 everyone intuitively knows why the official story must be wrong. Let’s not forget that it was David Chandler, a high school science teacher (featured in the video above), who actually forced the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to reverse itself on the issue of free fall. I think that’s why people who see the video experience a persistent, nagging sensation that something’s just not right. They remember…. and they’re correct.

I spent two full months discussing and hammering out what free fall is and what it is not with Dr. Alan Calverd, PhD, a Cambridge University educated, forty-five year veteran research physicist and regular contributor to the Cambridge University sponsored website The Naked Scientists who, though he ultimately ended up repeatedly degrading himself academically over the entire course of the exchange with an eighth-grade dropout by continuing to argue sophistically in open debate against the Law of Conservation of Energy as applied to a falling body, was nevertheless instrumental in helping to guide the formatting of the animations. It’s been over ten months now since I posted a complete Empirically Verifiable Scientific Method Driven Graphical Target System Analysis and Conclusion at the end of the thread “What is Free Fall?” [See the animations on the last page of that thread, in which I write under the name “Aemilius.”] (more…)

STANLEY KURTZ writes about Obama’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing scheme, which will affirmatively further unfair housing and dramatically diminish local autonomy:

It’s difficult to say what’s more striking about President Obama’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing  (AFFH) regulation: its breathtaking radicalism, the refusal of the press to cover it, or its potential political ramifications. The danger AFFH poses to Democrats explains why the press barely mentions it. This lack of curiosity, in turn, explains why the revolutionary nature of the rule has not been properly understood. Ultimately, the regulation amounts to back-door annexation, a way of turning America’s suburbs into tributaries of nearby cities. (more…)

THOMAS DROLESKEY writes at Christ or Chaos:

Jorge Mario Bergoglio rarely misses an opportunity to put multiple drops of blasphemous and heretical poisons into his allocutions, homilies, “apostolic” exhortations, and encyclical letters.

Most of those Catholics who read or listen to his words have no means to recognize blasphemy or heresy and to flee from it because they are the products of over fifty straight years of nonstop apostasy, blasphemy and heresy. These Catholics have been robbed of any true sensus Catholicus, something that Jorge Mario Bergoglio knows and is exploiting all of the time, not most of the time, all of the time.

This is because the Argentine Apostate is a tool of the devil himself, a veritable demon dressed up to look like a permissive, indulgent, understanding and merciful “pope,” and the adversary must know that his time is running out on him as the pace at which events in the world and the counterfeit church of conciliarism are unfolding is nothing less than stupefying. It is as though the combined forces of hell have unleashed their final assaults upon us all. There is no “relief” to be found in the farce that represents itself as electoral politics, and there is certainly no “relief” to be had for “conservatives” and “traditionally-minded” Catholics in the ranks of the sect erroneously believed to be the Catholic Church.

Under pressure from the NAACP, the state Democratic Party will scrub the names of the two presidents [Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson] from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.

Party leaders voted unanimously Wednesday night in Hartford to rename the Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in the aftermath of last month’s fatal shooting of nine worshipers at the historic black church in Charleston, S.C.  (more…)

“A GRATEFUL READER” writes:

Your discussion of Solange Hertz recalls today’s article on the Orthosphere  by Kristor. He discusses the book, The Cuisine of Sacrifice Among the Greeks. He writes:

Three key insights inform everything in the book:

1. In the ancient world, essentially all the meat available for consumption in human settlements was the fruit of sacrificial rites.

2. Cookery and sacrifice were therefore aspects of the same procedure. Sacrifice was the way animals were slaughtered and butchered in preparation for cooking; cooking the meat was part of the sacrificial rite. (more…)

IN Sin Revisited, Solange Hertz describes three forms of gluttony:

1. The first one consists in eating whenever we please. This might mean often or seldom, ahead of time or later, never or simply constantly nibbling between meals. Habitually indulged in, this form of gluttony quite predictably disposes its victim to restlessness and dissatisfaction with his state in life. It feeds instability. (more…)

I have been reading your blog for about a month and just wanted to take a moment and tell you thank you for sharing your thoughts with the world.

I am a 46 years old. I married late in life (41) so I do not have children but I do have a wonderful husband and I have work that I enjoy (I am a nurse). I have much to be thankful for but of late, I find myself despairing and perhaps in a depression. Laura, I am afraid. I feel as if I’m looking at the most beautiful tapestry hanging in front of me and people are walking by, grabbing a thread and pulling it, shredding it to pieces. Our country is falling apart.

I DON’T know anything about “Sofia Smallstorm” other than what you see here.

ON the morning of December 14, 2012, 20 young children and six adults were murdered in a shooting spree by a gunman at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. As most of you know from the official account, the gunman was 20-year-old Adam Lanza, the emotionally troubled, homeschooled son of a gun-toting Republican mother with whom he lived alone and whom he also allegedly killed that day. Lanza’s frightening and bizarre photograph appeared in news outlets throughout the country for months after the event, which was the second deadliest shooting by a single person in U.S. history. He reportedly committed suicide at the school. (more…)

LET’S SAY you live in a city where a weird cult is practicing a grotesque ritual whereby it cuts off the right arms of its most devoted followers. The idea is that amputation will appease the gods. Awful, but that’s what this cult does.

Now let’s say you are a medical doctor and you are working in a hospital emergency room one day when a woman arrives in a desperate situation. She is the victim of a “botched” amputation. Normally, the cult members are treated by their own doctors. But in this case, she is mistreated and is dying from loss of blood. (more…)

AT Natural News, Ethan A. Huff writes:

The corporate media, as hilariously and obviously bogus as it has become these days, is no different from an addictive junk food product like Doritos, Oreos, or Coca-Cola. What makes these fake food products salable has nothing to do with their nutritional content, which is basically zero; it’s the monosodium glutamate (MSG), refined sugar, and artificial flavors that provide that instantaneous flavor “high” to keep consumers enslaved to buying such products, even when they know they’re toxic!

The latest manufactured media controversies are really no different. Artificial elections, fake shootings, crisis actors, and manufactured hashtag campaigns have become the bread and butter of the phony American media machine, which almost always ignores real news like the recent passing of “fast-track” authority by Congress allowing the executive branch to enact treasonous trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership without oversight.

Instead of reporting on this traitorous dissolution of American sovereignty by our own elected leaders, the corrupt mainstream media is instead feeding the gullible masses the equivalent of a handful of MSG-laced corn chips by raising hell over a historical flag. The “excitotoxin” effect of this intellectual drugging, if you will, is now evident all across social media and in the public conversation as people fight each other over yet another ridiculous non-issue rather than direct their anger at those who instigated it in the first place: the media, the government, and the shadow puppet masters who control what these entities say and do.

FIRST, the military has to change almost everything to let women in. And then it has to change everything else to prevent them from leaving. They want in and then they want out.

The problem is, the Navy does not accommodate motherhood, writes Lt. Mary Witkowski. Things are so bad, Lt. Witkowski says, she is redirecting her elite Naval Academy training, which she obtained at public expense and for which she arguably displaced some man who might have stayed much longer and supported a family while doing so, to find a job in the public sector that is more congenial to daily child neglect. (She doesn’t mention it, but getting rid of that dreadful uniform would be nice too.) “It’s the pre-ordained military schedule that can make Navy life and motherhood so hard to balance,” she says. Children do get in the way, don’t they? She advocates more flex time and telework. That’s interesting. I did not realize you could be a surface warfare officer by phone. Can you be a submarine commander and cook dinner at the same time? I have to admit, that would be very cool and then women would finally have it all. Men could find something else to do.

Lt. Witkowski writes: “To stop the flow of talented women out of the Navy, we must stay focused on why these women are leaving. Only then will the military be able to retain the intelligent, motivated, and experienced women that are helping it to thrive.” Jawohl, Lieutenant! We must stay focused! Our mission is to destroy American families one feminist step at a time. We will accept nothing less.

One major motivating factor is not mentioned in Lt. Witkowski’s analysis: MOOLA.

SOME of you may have already seen the very disturbing undercover interview with Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services for Planned Parenthood since 2009. In the interview, Dr. Nucatola describes the process by which Planned Parenthood sells body parts of fetuses to medical research-affiliated companies such as StemExpress. She sips wine and eats salad while explaining how she tries to preserve lungs, hearts and intact heads while surgically removing fetuses. She has a “huddle” in the morning with administrative assistants who know what companies are looking for that day. Then she tries to procure the parts intact while performing abortions.

She defends the trade in body parts, for which PP does not make much money, as not motivated by profit but primarily by the need to find more methods to dispose of bodies and the desire to aid science. Many women having abortions, she says, are eager to donate the parts because they think it will do good. They signs papers agreeing to the donations. A full transcript of the interview is here. It is a chilling look into the abortion industry, to say the least. Planned Parenthood performs 40 percent of abortions in the country and, according to Nucatola, spends about ten minutes counseling each woman who has an abortion.

Rather than reading or viewing this disturbing material, you may prefer to read this response by Abby Johnson, who used to work for Planned Parenthood and now is an anti-abortion figure.

Feminism has been great for women, hasn’t it? It’s opened up so many career opportunities. If it weren’t for feminism and the mass psychological warfare against women by the media, women like Nucatola might be producing children instead of killing them. (more…)
