Everyone’s talking about the political upset at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) over the weekend, where Ron Paul won the presidential straw poll.
A panel that wouldn’t have been allowed at CPAC a few years ago was well-attended at this year’s conference: ‘You’ve Been Lied To: Why Real Conservatives are Against the War on Terror.’
Karen Kwiatkowski — retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel
Philip M. Giraldi — former CIA counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer, current Francis Walsingham Fellow at The American Conservative Defense Alliance, and weekly columnist for Antiwar.com
Jacob Hornberger — founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation
Bruce Fein — former associate deputy attorney general in the Reagan administration
On October 14, 2009, at the same event at the University of Southern California where WeAreChangeLA had confronted former Secretary of the Air Force Thomas C. Reed on 9/11 war games and the threats of nuclear treason ( http://www.911blogger.com/node/21693 ), a conversation was struck up with Priya Vashista, a nano-energetics expert and USC professor. Vashista gave his version of a possible explanation for a spontaneous type of thermitic reaction involving the aluminum from the planes and rust from the buildings’ steel. After being asked whether he was describing what he saw as the potential for the formation of nano-thermite specifically, Vashista said that he was. It was clear that he had not been familiar with the “Active Thermitic Material” itself or the specific nano-tech qualities that it displays. However, in addition to openly stating that “many questions have not been fully explained,” Vashishta was quite open and thankful to receive the abstract from the “Active Thermitic Material” paper and said that he would be willing to comment on it after looking in to it. Although Vashista has not yet responded to an email sent on October 17, 2009 asking for an educated comment on the paper, Gregg Roberts, of www.ae911truth.org and one of the co-authors of the “Active Thermitic Material…” paper, graciously responded to Vashista’s statements in a clarifying and engaging manner.

p.s. This is some more of Gregg Roberts’s response in written form:
“This was not just ground up rust and aluminum that were laying next to each other as he suggests.
This was rhomboidal crystalline grains of Fe2O3 measuring consistently 100 nm across, intimately mixed with hexagonal aluminum platelets 1000 nm across and only 40 nm thick. These two particles were held in a well-mixed configuration by a solidified gel solution containing additional fuel. This is NOT common to buildings!!
And the nano-scale allows the reaction to proceed at much lower temps.”
The underwear bomber’s Christmas Day attack has prompted calls for the increased use of full-body scanners at airports that would strip-search passengers down to their naked bodies.
So to protest the use of the so-called Nacktscanner (naked scanner), members of the Pirate Party in Germany organized a “fleshmob” of people who stripped down to their skivvies last Sunday and converged on the Berlin-Tegel airport. They posted a video of their protest to YouTube, with soundtrack provided by Muse’s song “Uprising.” The lyrics articulated their protest: “They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us. We will be victorious!”
Warning: The video above has mild nudity so may not be safe for work.
The protesters marked their bodies with a number of messages such as, “Something to hide?” and “Be a good citizen — drop your pants.”
One woman has the word “diaper” scrawled on her lower back with an arrow pointing to her underwear and the word “prosthetic” printed on her leg. The word “piercing” and an arrow point to one of her breasts. Another woman dressed in a beige sweater and flesh-colored tights wears a sign reading “pixelated.” (To address privacy concerns, security officials say the scanners can be programed to produce a blurred, pixelated image of passengers to protect their modesty.)
The full-body scanners use high-frequency radio waves to produce an image of a passenger’s naked body beneath clothes. Anything a passenger is carrying against the body — weapons, drugs or explosives — would be exposed. The scanners would also reveal the presence of prosthetic devices and breast implants.
As such, there have been privacy and legal concerns raised about the invasive equipment, particularly because it’s unclear if the scanners would be able to detect explosives hidden in body cavities and would therefore likely provide only minimal security.
German and Dutch authorities announced this week that they would be working together to test and possibly deploy full-body scanners in the two countries over the next year. The move comes in the wake of concerns that a would-be bomber was able to board a flight from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport on Dec. 25 wearing packs of chemical explosives concealed in his underwear.
Although Amsterdam has been conducting a test pilot of full-body scanners since 2006, the armed passenger was not scanned by one of the devices before boarding his flight to Detroit. European Union regulations do not currently allow mandatory use of the equipment.
The scanners are currently being used in about 19 U.S. airports, though the Transportation Security Administration has plans to deploy about 300 more. The machines are used on a voluntary basis only; passengers can opt to have a full-body pat down instead of being scanned.

Here are the slides form a presentation I gave at Keene State College in New Hampshire, on 9/12/09. The full presentation, with many more details given in the speech, is available at 911TV.org ( http://communitycurrency.org/911TV/ )
Action item-1: Email or telephone the City Council politely urging that they convene the independent, unbiased task force/committee the Environmental Board envisioned.
Action item-2: Email or telephone the City Council politely urging an end to water fluoridation, based on mounting scientific evidence of harm, uselessness for its professed purpose of improving children’s dental health, and cost issues.
You can conveniently email all council members from the www.fluoridefreeaustin.com Take Action tab. Their phone numbers can be found under the Council Members tab.
Action item-3: Contact Assistant City Manager Rudy Garza to politely let him know that we, the public, are the largest group of stakeholders and we demand a place at the table.

Flashback: REMEMBER THOSE ARRESTS BEFORE THE RNC?
Well, it was because an informant warned of firebomb plans pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/65270/
Riad Hamad died on April 14, 2008 in Austin, Texas, He was a tireless advocate for Palestinians, and especially women and children living in the occupied West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon. He created the Palestine Children’s Welfare Fund and raised millions of dollars through this organization for schools, charitable organizations, and hospitals.
We cannot begin to express our sorrow at the death of this fine man who has helped so many and asked for so little. Many of you have written to tell us how much he has done and how much he will be missed. We are grateful for the outpouring of affection, and we want to assure everyone who has been a part of PCWF that its mission will continue.
One of you wrote of Riad: As beautiful a human being as I have ever met…His charisma, energy, and positive outlook were contagious. He loved the children of Palestine and worked tirelessly on their behalf…He would rather sleep in his car than pay for a hotel room so that he could save the money and send it to the children of Palestine…It was never about him, only the children of Palestine.
Please help us continue his work in his honor and in his memory at PCWF. Tax exempt donations may be made to:

Recently, Charlie Sheen enlisted the help of Alex Jones to compose a preposed interview with President Barack Obama presenting the many facts that conflict with the 9/11 commission’s official report. The after shocks of this powerful statement are still being felt. However, many in mainstream media refuse to give Mr. Sheen or his important message the credit it is due; resorting to mudslinging instead of engaging in a proper debate. In an effort get this information to go viral and to force the mainstream to stop attacking the messenger and address the message, Charlie Sheen in conjunction with Infowars.com has created a contest with amazing cash prizes to be awarded to the top three video entries.
