Why 9/11

Many people ask why our own people would want to blow up or own buildings?  Two reasons, first the lease owner of the WTC complex happily collected  15 billion dollars from the insurance company that covered for "acts of terror".  Second reason, the government wanted a reason to go to Iraq.  For our oil and to stop the dictatorship in Iraq and control the weapons of mass destruction.  It is impossible for a country to go to war without public support and backing.  If one was to look at Pearl Harbor attacks and how quickly the nation rallied to go to war then you will see the comparison.  Looks like someone payed attention in history class because the day after 9/11 recruiting offices were filled with people wanting to go to war.  Now I am saying I believe or don't believe one side, I like to look at situations from different perspectives much like journalists do.  People can't believe the first thing they are told, they must always dig deeper.

9/11 Examined

This is to examine all things that happened on that memorable day.  First checkout this article, it explains how in the 1970's a B-25 bomber crashed into the top floors of the Empire State Building and the result was a fire that burned for 35 mins and no structural damage.  Now somehow the same steel structured building of the WTC collapsed.  Next, when examining the speed at which the buildings fell were at a free-fall speed which is impossible because the buildings are designed to slow up as the floor lands on the floor below.  Let's not forget about WTC-7, the building was hit by small amounts of debris but collapsed in a perfect demolition. The list goes on and on.

9/11 cont.

This video gives a basic overview of all the events that happend that day that most people did not know about. It doesn't get too specific on how but gives lots of reasons why.  It seemed that there were too many slip-up of words and too many coincidences going on that day.

9/11

The next thing I am going to examine is 9/11 conspiracy theories.  This doesn't go exactly with my topic but it is very intriguing none the less.

Watergate cont.

When Woodward was approached about the notion that they unseated the president he answers,""To say that the press brought down Nixon, that's horseshit,The press always plays a role, whether by being passive or by being aggressive, but it's a mistake to overemphasize."  To go along with that, the article explains how the whole story was a little dramatic and actually there were a few leaks prior to that night.

Watergate Scandel

I would like to start out by saying that the Watergate Scandal is possibly one of the biggest stories ever uncovered by the press.  From what first appears one may say that two journalist for the Washington Post brought down the President of the United States.  That would be false.  In the article I read about the Watergate Scandal, it explains how the two journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein  produced "The single most spectacular act of serious journalism [of the 20th] century," said media critic Ben Bagdikian. Or did they?  Everyone knows the story.  Five men were caught placing bugging technology in the Democratic Party headquarters and soon after the men were linked to Nixon the president resigned along with 70 other cabinet members.  The question is did Woodward and Bernstein actually reveal this by themselves?


Watergate Revisited

Changing it up

Alright so the topic of the past posts is getting a little dry.  Time to spice it up!  From now on will be examining a few different conspiracy theories, mainly 9/11 and  Watergate.  I am not completing abandoning the ideas of the press.  I am just taking a different approach.  I will continue to involve the press as I examine the theories.
