Never Stop Questioning.

A subject near and dear to all of our hearts is the tragedy that occurred in New York City on 9/11.

I remain unconvinced that what we were told happened... actually happened. I've watched DVD's, web videocasts and read countless articles on the subject. From what I've read and seen, I just can't believe that the buildings fell because of the planes.

I don't categorize myself as someone who thinks "the government did it, period." I do, however, continually question what the truth really is.

I wanted to share this article with all of you. It's from a website called Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. This is not a bunch of left wing conspiracy crazed hippies... these are professionals who are passionate about uncovering the truth. (Thanks to my friend Adara for sending me the website today.)

Exotic High Tech Explosives Positively Identified in World Trade Center Dust

A ground-breaking scientific paper confirmed this week that red-gray flakes found throughout multiple samples of WTC dust are actually unexploded fragments of nanothermite, an exotic high-tech explosive.

The samples were taken from far-separated locations in Manhattan, some as early as 10 minutes after the second tower (WTC 1) collapsed, ruling out any possible contamination from cleanup operations.

Authored by an international team of physicists, chemists, and others, the research paper was titled "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe." It was published in The Open Chemical Physics Journal, 2009, Vol. 2., and is available online for free download. The lead author is Niels H. Harrit of the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen.

The paper ends with the statement, "Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material."

Ordinary thermite burns quickly and can melt through steel, but it is not explosive. Nanothermite, however, can be formulated as a high explosive. It is stable when wet and can be applied like paint.

The presence of pre-planted explosives in the WTC buildings calls into question the official story that the buildings were destroyed by the airplane collisions and fire alone. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the official government agency that investigated the building collapses, did not test for residues of explosives.

Obama's Address to the Nation.

Two months in, Obama delivered all this: (Click here to read his speech)


Employment Plan - Over the next two years, this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs. More than 90% of these jobs will be in the private sector – jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges; constructing wind turbines and solar panels; laying broadband and expanding mass transit.

Education cost assistance - families who are struggling to pay tuition costs will receive a $2,500 tax credit for all four years of college.

Tax cuts - Because of this plan, 95% of the working households in America will receive a tax cut – a tax cut that you will see in your paychecks beginning on April 1st.

Holding banks accountable for assistance - And this time, they will have to clearly demonstrate how taxpayer dollars result in more lending for the American taxpayer. This time, CEOs won’t be able to use taxpayer money to pad their paychecks or buy fancy drapes or disappear on a private jet. Those days are over.

Energy Plan - Will double this nation’s supply of renewable energy in the next three years. Also will support that innovation, we will invest fifteen billion dollars a year to develop technologies like wind power and solar power; advanced biofuels, clean coal, and more fuel-efficient cars and trucks built right here in America.

Pledged to cut deficit by 50% by the end of first term - already identified two trillion dollars in savings over the next decade and will cut tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas.

Increasing number of soldiers in the military

Increasing Soldier's Pay

Extending Veteran's health care benefits

Closing Guantanamo Bay - Without exception or equivocation, the United States of America does not torture.



I'm sorry, but what the FLOCK was George Bush doing for EIGHT YEARS???

It's like the movie "Dave" - (If you haven't seen it, you should) - where he sits down and cuts a billion dollars from the budget, and he's just a regular ol' guy. It's inspiring, and to be honest, after feeling so disheartened and angry with our government for so long, it feels like a gulldurned miracle.

God Bless President Obama. (Sigh, I LOVE saying "President Obama.")

BAN on Fast Food.

Yeah, you read that right.

South L.A. put into place a ban on fast food six months ago. Now, it didn't force fast food restaurants to close, but prohibited the developing of new fast food restaurants, or more of them.

You can read about it here in an article written by Mary Casper.

The decision was made in order to ensure that the land left to develop led to a greater variety of non fast food restaurants and grocery stores, as opposed to more unhealthy fast food.

According to the article, "When the moratorium took effect, 73 percent of South Los Angeles restaurants were fast food, compared to 42 percent in West Los Angeles."

So, once again, we see government dictating eating, in a way. It's no longer the biggest chunk of change, or first buyer that gets to develop whatever their business is on the land... it's what the government says is okay.

I have no problem driving past Wendy's or McDonalds or Burger King and not going to get a burger. I don't need my government to decide a percentage of available land for developing each type of business. I mean, what will it lead to? 5% for dry cleaners, 7% for fast food joints, 2% for smoothie shops, 10% for liquor stores, 10% for grocery stores, 15% for clothing retailers, etc, etc?

It's a little crazy. What do you think?
