Turns Out Al Capone's Vault Was A High Point

In Geraldo Rivera's career. Here's the nadir:


Note the bit where he talks to McIlvaine and he says "I don't want to get into the details of how you think he died." Could that possibly be because he doesn't want McIlvaine spoiling his "the family members are not like the nutjobs," conclusion? Let's remember that McIlvaine thinks his son died before either of the planes hit the buildings.

"There's three things I want if I'm ever in that condition. Three things I gotta have. Ice cream, morphine and television. You give me that ice cream every two hours. Give me that morphine, about...every ten minutes. And turn on the ******* TV! I wanna see Geraldo! And don't be coming to visit me. I got no time for live people. I'm brain-dead here. Ain't you people got no respect for the brain-dead? Hey, you gotta be brain-dead to watch Geraldo in the first place. You might as well watch it when you're clinically brain-dead. "

They're in a frenzy at 9/11 blogger. "Geraldo just removed himself from the list of media professionals who will be looking at criminal charges for the cover up of mass murder."

"We now have a new benchmark. Now, with regards to 9/11 Truth, we can use a reference point: Pre-Geraldo 9/11 Truth episode or Post-Geraldo 9/11 Truth episode."

OT: Classic comment, - "If you believe 9-11 was an inside job, you deserve to have somebody hit you with a baseball bat."

Rivera comes across as a credulous moron. Is he really stupid enough to be impressed by the "1,000+ architects and engineers" assertion? I suspect some of this is pity for McIlvaine, but McIlvaine long ago burned up whatever sympathy he might have had. McIlvaine is at least transparent was to what he wants, he isn't interested "truth" as most people would understand it but rather having his hatred for his own country validated.

Geraldo Rivera's 'finest' moment was during the opening phases of Op IRAQI FREEDOM, when he was an embedded correspondent with the 101st. His career as a war correspondent came to an abrupt end when he decided - in a live broadcast on Fox - to sketch a map of Iraq in the sand to illustrate a forthcoming operation by Petraeus' division. Two days later, he was in Kuwait.

Still, as P. J. O'Rourke noted, Rivera's grasp of geography is so weak that if the Iraqis had been watching they would probably have shelled Damascus.

That poor father. I feel sorry for him. You can tell by his body language that he's not a well man. Fox is broadcasting this because they have 168 hours a week to fill and with Congress out of session, they have to put on a lot of filler material. This is nothing but exploitation of a grieving father. Just another reason to look at Fox and shake your head.

Is it, though? They're giving him exactly what he wants: attention for his group and the Deep and Abiding Mystery of Building Seven. It's not the news media's job to tend to people's psychological problems.

The bigger problem, in my view, is that the story isn't newsworthy in any way. Their ballot initiative failed to even reach a ballot, and their TV commercial does nothing but implore people to donate money.

Actually, to me, the building 7 stuff is even more nuts. Basically, "truthers" are saying that the act of mass murder at the WTC, Pentagon, and PA wouldn't have been enough to rally America to war. No, Dick Cheney also needed to destroy an empty building that nobody had ever heard of before, and do it in a way that makes it superficially appear that it came down in a controlled demolition so that he'd be more likely to be caught.

And yes, I know about the Enron documents talking point. I guess destroying the whole building was easier than shredding the fucking things.

It's completely insane. It's like Rumsfeld coming out and mentioning, the day before the attacks, the $2.3 trillion dollars, just in case people were too dense to make the connection themselves.

It's less insane than NIST's collapse mechanism. It makes perfect sense if you suppose that WTC7 was intended to be demolished under the cover of the dust cloud from the collapse of WTC1, that something went wrong with the demo op, and somebody had to go in and fix it and set a bunch of fires to create a good cover story.

Rummy's press conference about the $2.3 trillion on 9/10 makes perfect sense if you suppose that he wants to bury the story under the events of the following day.

I think it's because it actually does look like a controlled demolition (at least from the north), so it gives them something to latch onto (the twin towers don't look like CD and of course were hit by airplanes).

It looks exactly like a controlled demolition and NIST's proposed collapse mechanism makes no sense whatsoever. It requires that 600-foot tall perimeter columns have their lateral report violently removed while showing virtually no reaction, that these columns then stand without lateral support, and that the shell of the building maintain its morphology while being nibbled away at the bottom.

It looks like a controlled demolition because there were no cameras aimed at it from the south (for obvious reasons) and it looked undamaged from the north. Thus, to the ignorant and incompetent, it must be a controlled demolition, right?

Also, Brian, nobody cares what you think makes sense. You're the guy who came up with the loony "rake-on-rake" gibberish, remember?

Ian, if there had been severe damage to the south, the building could not have hollowed out the way NIST claims it did. That's why NIST denies that structural damage from debris impact played any part in collapse initiation.

There's nothing insane about petgoat's rake on rake model. It very well illustrates the interaction of two separate structures that do not impact each other cleanly. It far better illustrates the impact of the alleged top "block" of the building on the undamaged lower portion than does the inept and demonstrably (proven by video) inapplicable piledriver model.

More bullshit, eh fuck 'tard?

In fact, you'll need a gravitation collapse model in order to understand and explain the collapse of WTC 1 and 2.

A gravitational collapse model teaches us that as the building began to collapse, the upper section accelerated to a speed of about 19 MPH before it stuck the next floor. Thus, the upper section hit the building with an impact of approximately 30 times the static weight of the upper section.

At 16 November, 2010 12:05, Blogger GuitarBill said...

Continued...

The World Trade Center Towers were built to withstand approximately 3 to 5 times the static weight of the next floor; however, the building was not able to withstand 30 times the static weight.

As a result, the columns and floor trusses were overwhelmed by the force of the upper section and snapped.

As the collapse progressed, the upper section did meet resistance from the remainder of the building. In fact, the upper section slowed from 19 MPH to 18 MPH; however, the next floor was crushed in half the time required to crush the first floor that was struck by the upper section because it is traveling not at 0 MPH, but 18. Now the upper section is traveling at 26 MPH, which means the upper section slammed into the next floor at 40 times the static weight of the upper section. As the upper section slammed into the next floor it met resistance and was slowed down to 25 MPH. As the upper section slammed through the next floor it accelerated up to 31 MPH and struck the next floor at 50 times the static weight, etc. Are you starting to get the picture?

Continued...

Thus, the accelerations were very brief--a couple of milliseconds each. They were, however, at least 30 G's each. As a result, the average acceleration was 2/3 of the acceleration of gravity.

A 9/11 troofer named David Chandler measured the acceleration; however, his calculations are in error. His results show a dynamic force that's 1/3 of the static weight. This is the fundamental flaw of 9/11 "truth" "physics". Chandler underestimated the huge impact of the upper floors.

For example, if you place a brick on your foot it will likely not injure your foot; however, if you raise the brick 12 feet in the air and drop it, what happens? The answer is simple: The brick will crush your foot.

And that's precisely what happened to the Twin Towers. And that's why the total collapse of the building was inevitable--because every floor that met the upper section added more dynamic force. In other words, as each floor is crushed by the upper section, the dynamic force increases in a cumulative fashion.

Ian, if petgoat says the widows have no questions, then petgoat is lying. Of course, since I know you are a liar, and since I know that you are incompetent to interpret simple declarative sentences, I have no reason to believe your account of petgoat's statement.

Gutterball, you stole Dave Thomas's stuff without attribution. There's a couple of problems with that, and petgoat's rake on rake model is one of them. You don't get a clean 19mph hit on your lower portion with 30X the static load because they're box columns hitting on box columns--they don't hammer, they shear. There are enormous frictional forces.

Another problem is that the upper part of the north tower clearly came apart before the region below the impact zone started failing so there was no piledriver.

Another problem is that the Thomas model requires the simultaneous vaporization of all 200-something columns on one floor to get the 19mph impact--which obviously isn't going to happen unless you have invisible satellites firing invisible secret disintegrator rays at them.

"...Another problem is that the Thomas model requires the simultaneous vaporization of all 200-something columns on one floor to get the 19mph impact..."

All that's required is the failure of one column to set the upper portion of the building into motion.

"...Gutterball, you stole Dave Thomas's stuff without attribution."

Grasping at straws again, liar?

I didn't "steal" anything--you twat. A gravitational model is the only rational explanation for the collapse. And since when is a gravitational model subject to copyright law?

Wrong again, shit-for-brains.

"...If the World Trade Center towers had been built in a more conventional way and in strict accordance with New York City building codes — from which they were exempt because they were built under the auspices of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — the buildings probably would not have collapsed, and thousands of lives might have been saved...This building was so strange, and so many violations of practice and code were introduced...The design contains at least 10 unusual elements...For example, rather than using a traditional skeletal framework of vertical and horizontal columns, the twin towers relied partly on a 'bearing wall' system in which the floors and walls worked together to support each other...That system allowed designers to use thinner steel in the buildings' columns and exterior than would be used in a traditional design...in some places the steel in columns was only one-quarter of an inch thick...Those are lightweight buildings. There was no need for explosives to bring them down." -- Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, Ph.D., Civil engineering and Structures, UC Berkeley.

Get your lies straight, Brian.

The NIST Report reads in part, "In the case of both towers, the top section tilted towards the face that had buckled, behaving largely as a solid block separate from the rest of the building. It fell at least one story in freefall and impacted the lower sections with a force equivalent to over thirty times its own weight. This was sufficient to buckle the columns of the story immediately below it; the block then fell freely through the distance of another story. Total collapse was now unavoidable as the process repeated through the entire height of the lower sections. The force of each impact was also much greater than the horizontal momentum of the section, which kept the tilt from increasing significantly before the falling section reached the ground. It remained intact throughout the collapse, with its center of gravity within the building's footprint. After crushing the lower section of the building, it was itself crushed when it hit the ground."

Next time you're lying through your teeth, Brian, get your sources straight--you putz.

At 17 November, 2010 09:14, Blogger snug.bug said...

Ian, your inability to distinguish a conditional sentence from a declarative one shows you to be logically incompetent.

GutterBall, if you watch the videos of the north tower you can see that the top "block" comes apart before the region under the impact zone does. The top "block" shortens by 60 to 100 feet before the lower region begins to destruct. Anyone who has studied the issue knows this. Your ignorance is showing.

If your claim that failure of one column brings the tower down symmetrically were true, then the collapse should have happened immediately after the plane impact.

Your plagiarism of Dave Thomas's work, and your subsequent refusal to acknowledge it, is duly noted.
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread605037/pg1

The NIST report does not claim that the WTC was defectively designed. If you believe that it was, then you should be calling for new investigations instead of defending a cowardly and dishonest report.

Your final paragraph does not even address the point (the any impact
would involve much more energy-absorbing shearing and frictional forces than impact forces), let alone show that I lied.

GutterBall, I didn't cite the NIST report, nor did I agree with it.
Neither commenting on its contents, nor citing it, nor pointing out your essential irrationality in trying to defend a dishonest report by citing a collapse thesis totally out of the realm of its study makes me a hypocrite.

The particulars of your 19-MPH-18-MPH-26-MPH-40-times-the-static-weight narrative exactly match the particulars of Thomas's work, and rather than acknowledge that you appropriated it you accuse me of lying.

Office fires burn at most 20 minutes in one place, and NIST has no core steel that shows heating sufficient to weaken it.

Dr. Astaneh's remark about explosives has no more to do with the point (that any impact
would involve much more energy-absorbing shearing and frictional forces than impact forces) than did the long paragraph about alleged design defects. You're flailing, GutterBall. Maybe you should be working on your jazzy rendition of "Jingle Bell Rock".

"...Office fires burn at most 20 minutes in one place, and NIST has no core steel that shows heating sufficient to weaken it."

More bullshit. The fires were hot enough to severely weaken the columns and cause the floor trusses to fail. In fact, the perimeter columns bowed inward, which resulted in the columns inability to support the gravitational load of the floors above the point of impact. As a result, the core columns were being crushed as evidenced by creep deformation caused by the weight of the floors above the point of impact. As the top section began to slide downward, the hat trusses in the core were forced to redistribute their load to the perimeter columns. This explains why WTC 2's eastern wall buckled. WTC 1's south wall buckled for the same reason.

Brian continues to babble, "...Dr. Astaneh's remark about explosives has no more to do with the point (that any impact would involve much more energy-absorbing shearing and frictional forces than impact forces) than did the long paragraph about alleged design defects"

Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl is perfectly qualified to determine if "so many violations of practice and code were introduced," and no amount of incoherent babbling on your part will ever change that fact.

Asymmetrical damage from bowing columns should have caused a local asymmetrical collapse. Perimeter columne were rated for 20X their dead loads. NIST has no core steel samples showing heating sufficient to weaken them.

And once again, your invocation of Dr. Astaneh's qualifications and his opinions about violations of code has nothing to do with either a) that any impact would involve much more energy-absorbing shearing and frictional forces than impact forces or b) NIST's failure to allege design defects in the WTC.

RGT, it would be well to have the testimony of Cheney's young man about the nature of the orders that still stood. It would be well to have followup testimony among FDNY personnel who reported explosions about efforts to suppress such talk. It would be well to get FDNY brass who characterized the alleged damage to WTC7 to explain how they arrived at their assessments, and why the fires were not fought when they had water at West Street from 3 19,000 gpm fireboats. It would be nice to see the Pentagon security videos, and see the serial numbers on the plane parts. It would also be very helpful to have information on any internal NIST conflict about the course and direction of the investigation, as well as information about the nature and extent of pre-9/11 warnings of upcoming attacks and the connections between the alleged hijackers and the US military. There are lots of loose ends, and David Ray Griffin's essay "The 571 Page Lie", which lists 115 omissions and distortions in the 9/11 Commission Report, would be a good start. Also, compelling sworn testimony from NORAD personages about what they lied about to the 9/11 Commission and why they lied would be worthwhile.

TR, Dr. Philip Zelikow was the one who demoted Richard Clarke so that he could no longer communicate his warnings about al Qaeda directly to the cabinet. Dr. Zelikow then ensured that the 9/11 Commission downplayed Clarke's story and protected Condi Rice from Clarke's criticisms.

See Philip Shenon's book, chapter 56.

Also, Zelikow wrote an outline of the report, complete with chapter titles and subheadings, before the investigation started. He is known to have improperly kept up phone contacts with Rove and Rice while the investigation was ongoing, and he asked the CIA authors of the "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" memo to validate Condi's lies about the contents of that document.

RGT, I am quite able to explain the significance of the questions. I am simply reluctant to take the time to do so when my explanation is likely to be buried under spam from the likes of paul w and Ian.

The reasons the Hilton and Berg lawsuits failed is because they were incompetent. I don't know why the Veal lawsuit failed--probably because so many of its witnesses were lunatics like John Lear and Rob Balsamo.

Proving shootdown is not the issue, nor is proving inside job. The issue is a credible, competent, thorough, and honest accounting of what happened that day. If we can't trust the government and the media, we can't have a democracy. Asserting the principle that wrongdoing must be proven before corrections of obvious errors in an investigation can take place is anti-democratic.

Your cynicism-disguised-as-pragmatism is also anti-democratic. The loose ends and questions matter because they provide many opportunities for covering up negligence and maybe worse, because we have the right as citizens to expect credible reports from our government (and the persistent meme that that's too much to expect is anti-democratic), and because the widows deserve the simple respect of having their questions answered and not being lied to.

The issue is a credible, competent, thorough, and honest accounting of what happened that day.

We had one.

If we can't trust the government and the media, we can't have a democracy.

Right, so why not work on legitimate issues related to this problem instead of babbling about 9/11 "truth" nonsense?

Asserting the principle that wrongdoing must be proven before corrections of obvious errors in an investigation can take place is anti-democratic.

Translation: any report on 9/11 is in error until it says what I want it to say. Also too, you hate democracy if you don't agree with my nonsensical babblings.

Your cynicism-disguised-as-pragmatism is also anti-democratic.

See above.

The loose ends and questions matter because they provide many opportunities for covering up negligence and maybe worse, because we have the right as citizens to expect credible reports from our government (and the persistent meme that that's too much to expect is anti-democratic), and because the widows deserve the simple respect of having their questions answered and not being lied to.

See above. Also, nobody cares about your widows.

Smug.mug (aka Brian Good, contrivance, punxsutawneybarney, Pet Goat, shit-for-brains, bug.fuck, etc) prevaricates, "...crickets....these guys don't do 'sources'."

Lying through your filthy teeth again, Brian.

What's this, gay boi?

"...I think he died before the plane hit. I think he walked into the towers...and a huge blast hit him." -- Bob McIlvaine.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on--you lying bastard.

So Brian, tell us about your alleged "credibility," which, given your track record, should be measured in negative engineering units?

Go for it, Pinocchio.

GutterBall, why are you so defensive? You're keeping psycho hours, I see. How does your family feel about that?

My criticism "these guys don't do sources" was well founded. Two days after a request for a source, none was to be found. Without my provocative remark, you wouldn't have responded.

Your tolerance for Ian's source-free and counterfactual spam leaves this forum with no credibility. You may call it "cat-fights" in the truth movement, but at least some of us try to slam down the liars like Ranke, Rodriguez, Barrett, and Balsamo. By letting Ian blather on you implicitly endorse his lies.

I don't lie, Brian. You can't name a single time I've lied to you.

Anyway, speaking of Barrett, look at what I found:

http://truthjihad.blogspot.com/2010/06/tales-of-hoffman.html

Instead, their fellow 9/11 Thought Police officer, Brian Good, barged into the meeting (of a group from which he had been banned long ago after sexually harassing a local activist) in a V-for-Vendetta mask and costume, looming over the meeting in rigid, menacing silence for the last hour or so of the event, in what he evidently thought was a protest of my visit. A couple of times he reached into his cape and made lunging motions as if he were reaching for his V-for-Vendetta knife to throw at me. When he finally took off the mask and glared at me, his eyes looked disturbingly like Charles Manson's. (If you put Manson on a rack, stretched him out to about six foot four, and gave him a shave and a trim, you'd have a pretty good image of Brian Good.)

Good continued to stalk me, and Hoffman avoid me, for the rest of the tour. At my final talk, held in a private house in Sacramento, Good stood outside on the sidewalk in mask and costume from 6 pm to midnight, barking out angry remarks about me to passersby.


You're a real winner there, Brian. I'm shocked people didn't call the police to have you taken to a mental hospital.

Ian, what a funny send-up of Barrett you post! Do you really expect people to believe that Dr. Kevin "Hang-em-High Gun-nut Time-for-Armed-Rebellion Burn-Arnie's-House-Down I'm-the-Only-Man-Here-With-Any-Cojones" Barrett was afraid of a guy in a V-for-Vendetta Mask?

"Send-up"? Learn what words mean, Brian. It's from his blog.

Anyway, regardless of what Barrett wrote, I see you don't deny the whole thing. Anyway, given that you're an obsessed lunatic who can't stop babbling about certain people and stalking them 24/7, I might be rattled too. John Hinckley was obsessed with someone and eventually became violent.

And you wonder why I tell you to see a psychiatrist.

Spin won't save you, Brian.

You're a liar with ZERO credibility.

Have a nice day, Pinocchio.

"Liar", like "no", is a word an 2-year-old can speak.

I don't lie. I don't need to. Truth suits me just fine.

Brian, you lie constantly, and you're not even good at it. Your lies are so blatantly obvious it makes me wonder how you could expect anyone to believe what you write.

I expect people to believe what I write because when they check it out, they find it's true--and because when they check out what you and GutterBall write they will find it is false.
