Fourteen Incredible Facts About 9/11 Posted: 22 Aug 2015 06:17 PM PDT As the 14th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it’s important to remind people that we still don’t know what happened that day. What is known about 9/11 is that there are many incredible facts that continue to be ignored by the government and the mainstream media. Here are fourteen. An outline of what was to become the 9/11 Commission Report was produced before the investigation began. The outline was kept secret from the Commission’s staff and appears to have determined the outcome of the investigation. The 9/11 Commission claimed sixty-three (63) times in its Report that itcould find “no evidence” related to important aspects of the crimes. One person, Shayna Steiger, issued 12 visas to the alleged hijackers in Saudi Arabia. Steiger issued some of the visas without interviewing the applicants and fought with another employee at the embassy who tried to prevent her lax approach. Before 9/11, the nation’s leading counter-terrorism expert repeatedly notified his friends in the United Arab Emirates of top-secret U.S. plans to capture Osama bin Laden. These treasonous leaks prevented Bin Laden’s capture on at least two separate occasions. Former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger was caught stealing documents from the National Archives that had been requested by the 9/11 Commission. The Commission had previously been denied access to the documents but the White House reluctantly agreed to turn them over just as Berger was trying to steal them.. The official story of the failed air defenses on 9/11 was changed several times and, in the end, paradoxically exonerated the military by saying that the military had lied many times about its response. The man who was behind several of the changing accounts was a specialist in political warfare (i.e. propaganda). Military exercises being conducted on the day of 9/11 mimicked the attacks as they were occurring and obstructed the response to the attacks. NORAD commander Ralph Eberhart sponsored those exercises, failed to do his job that day, and later lied to Congress about it (if the 9/11 Commission account is true). A third skyscraper collapsed late in the afternoon on 9/11. This was WTC 7, a 47-story building that the government’s final report says fell into its own footprint due to office fires. The building’s tenants included U.S. intelligence agencies and a company led in part by Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.Meetings were scheduled there to discuss terrorism and explosives on the morning of 9/11. News agencies, including BBC and CNN, announced the destruction of WTC 7 long before it happened. One BBC reporter announced the collapse while viewers could see the still-standing building right behind her in the video. Years later, after claiming that it had lost the tapes and then found them again, BBC’s answer to this astonishing report was that everything was just “confusing and chaotic” that day. Of course, one problem with this is that the news agencies predicted the exact building, of the many damaged in the area, that would collapse. Another big problem is that no one could have possibly predicted the collapse of WTC 7 given the unprecedented and unbelievable official account for how that happened. Construction of the new, 52-story WTC 7 was completed two years before the government knew what happened to the first WTC 7. In fact, when the new building was completed in 2006, the spokesman for the government investigation said, “We’ve had trouble getting a handle on building No. 7.” The construction of the new building, without regard for how the first one was destroyed, indicates that building construction professionals in New York City did not believe it could ever happen again. Ultimately, building construction codes were not changed as a result of the root causes cited by the National Institute for Standards and Technology for destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings. This fact shows that the international building construction community does not believe that the WTC buildings were destroyed as stated in the official account. AMEC, the company that just finished rebuilding the exact spot where Flight 77 was said to hit, was put in charge of cleanup at the WTC and the Pentagon. The man who ran the company, Peter Janson, was a long-time business associate of Donald Rumsfeld. The response of the U.S. Secret Service to the 9/11 attacks suggests foreknowledge of the events in that the agency failed to protect the presidentfrom the obvious danger posed by terrorists. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission notified the FBI of suspected 9/11 insider trading transactions. That evidence was ignored and the suspects were not even questioned by the FBI or the 9/11 Commission. Source The post Fourteen Incredible Facts About 9/11 appeared first on USAHM Conspiracy News.

Yelp Just Announced It Will Start Letting You Write Reviews About the Government Posted: 22 Aug 2015 05:56 PM PDT Even though no one is ever pleased with the service they receive from federal agencies like the TSA or the IRS, there is no real recourse for anyone who is dissatisfied with their service. This is because government agencies are monopolies by design, meaning they do not have to worry about losing customers to another company. Their customers are essentially forced to do business with them because it is illegal for people to offer alternatives. Nothing has changed about that arrangement at all, except now you can complain about it on Yelp! That’s right, the popular app that allows people to rate the service they receive from private businesses is now allowing users to make comments about federal agencies. Apparently, this move is actually being welcomed by politicians, but it is highly possible they have no clue what they are in for. Yelp released an official statement this week on its blog: “We are excited to announce that Yelp has concluded an agreement with the federal government that will allow federal agencies and offices to claim their Yelp pages, read and respond to reviews, and incorporate that feedback into service improvements. We encourage Yelpers to review any of the thousands of agency field offices, TSA checkpoints,national parks, Social Security Administration offices, landmarks and other places already listed on Yelp if you have good or bad feedback to share about your experiences. Not only is it helpful to others who are looking for information on these services, but you can actually make an impact by sharing your feedback directly with the source. It’s clear Washington is eager to engage with people directly through social media. Earlier this year a group of 46 lawmakers called for the creation of a ‘Yelp for Government’ in order to boost transparency and accountability, and Representative Ron Kind reiterated this call in a letter to the General Services Administration (GSA). Luckily for them, there’s no need to create a new platform now that government agencies can engage directly on Yelp. As this agreement is fully implemented in the weeks and months ahead, we’re excited to help the federal government more directly interact with and respond to the needs of citizens and to further empower the millions of Americans who use Yelp every day.” The blog post was titled, “How Many Stars Would You Give the TSA? Review Federal Agencies on Yelp…and Maybe Get a Response.” Though until now they haven’t responded to reviews, many DMVs across the country have already been racking up plenty of one-star ratings, with many more critical (and hilarious) reviews likely to come following this new announcement from Yelp.

Microsoft has no plans to tell us what’s in Windows patches Posted: 22 Aug 2015 05:12 PM PDT Microsoft has now released three cumulative updates for Windows 10. These updates combine security fixes with non-security bug fixes, and so far, Microsoft hasn’t done a very good job of describing the contents of these cumulative updates. While the security content is quite fully described, explanations of the non-security fixes have been lacking. Many, including your author, feel that this is undesirable and that a key part of the Windows-as-a-Service concept, in which Microsoft releases a steady stream of fixes and functional improvements, is a clear explanation of what those updates are. This is a new approach for Microsoft, and it seems like reassuring users and administrators that issues are getting fixed—and that functional changes are clearly described—should be important. This is doubly important in those unfortunate situations that a patch has a problem. Microsoft will tend to update such patches when the problems have been fixed, but it does a poor job of clearly communicating this. Unfortunately, it does not seem that the company intends to change this approach. Company representatives told The Register that while the company “may choose” to perform “additional promotion” of new features depending on their “significance,” there’s no intention of providing full release notes. This means that future patches are going to continue to say nothing more than “This update includes improvements to enhance the functionality of Windows 10.” Microsoft is not unique in the lack of detail in its updates; as app store aficionados will know, software developers show great variation in the quality of their release notes. Some clearly describe the fixes and features that a point release update includes; others offer no more than a terse “Various bug fixes” or similar. But if it is to make Windows 10 appeal even to conservative administrators, we cannot help but feel that more information would be much more valuable than less.

French high-speed train attacker ‘connected with radical Islamists, visited Syria’ Posted: 21 Aug 2015 05:02 PM PDT A gunman, who injured two people on a high-speed train in France on Friday, was likely listed in the EU as a suspected Islamist militant, French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said, adding that doubts about the man’s identity still remain. “It is important to be careful about his identity, which is not yet established with certainty,” Cazeneuve is cited as saying by Reuters. “If the identity he has declared is confirmed, he is a 26-year-old man of Moroccan nationality identified by the Spanish authorities to French intelligence services in February 2014 because of his connections to the radical Islamist movement.” According to the minister, France will be working with other EU countries in order to “establish precisely the activities and travels of this terrorist.” A source within the investigation told Reuters that the perpetrator initially provided a different identity, which wasn’t known to the security officials. According to Cazeneuve, the attacker told the investigation that he lived in Spain in 2014 and moved to Belgium this year. French security sources told Le Voix du Nord newspaper that the perpetrator is suspected of having visited Syria after being spotted on a plane from Germany to Turkey this May. The paper also said that he was connected to a terrorist group behind an Islamist shooting in Belgium in January. A Spanish counter-terrorism source also told Reuters that the man had visited Syria, where Islamic State and other radical terror groups control a large part of the territory. While residing in the Spanish port of Algeciras in 2014, “he went to France, then to Syria, and he returned to France,” the source said. The attacker boarded the Thalys high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris with an arsenal on him, which included a Kalashnikov assault rifle, an automatic pistol with ammo and a box cutter knife, Cazeneuve said. However, he was unable to put his weapons to use due to being overpowered by the passengers, with two people being wounded in the struggle. The brawl began when a Frenchman, on his way to the toilet, tried to prevent the attacker from entering the carriage. He was then helped by two US soldiers travelling on the train, one of whom – only identified as Spencer – was stabbed by the attacker, the minister said. Another man of Franco-American nationality was wounded – hit by a bullet while in is his seat.

Blood test reveal biomarkers for future suicide attempts – study Posted: 21 Aug 2015 05:01 PM PDT US scientists have managed to find certain biomarkers in blood that can help predict a potential suicide victim, says the study, adding that it can give an early warning of some individuals who may commit an “impulsive suicide act.” The method includes blood tests and questionnaires, implemented as apps on tablets, that together are able to predict with about 92-percent accuracy which patients will think of suicide or even try to commit it, says a press release about the research carried out at Indiana University. The questionnaires alone are able to predict “the onset of significant suicidal thoughts” with more than 80-percent accuracy, the research paper adds. “We now have developed a better panel of biomarkers that are predictive across several psychiatric diagnoses. Combined with the apps, we have a broader spectrum predictor for suicidality,” said Dr Niculescu, director of the Laboratory of Neurophenomics at the Institute of Psychiatric Research at the IU School of Medicine, one of the co-authors of the study. Neither of the apps, developed separately, asks the participant directly if they are planning to commit suicide. One of the apps assesses measures of mood and anxiety; the other asks questions related to life issues including physical and mental health, addictions, cultural factors and environmental stress,” the press release says. Niculescu and his colleagues have been following a large group of male patients for three years. They have been diagnosed with mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder. “Suicide is a big problem in psychiatry. It’s a big problem in the civilian realm, it’s a big problem in the military realm and there are no objective markers,” added the scientist. In the blood samples of these patients the scientists were able to find certain “biomarkers at significantly higher levels in the blood of both bipolar disorder patients with thoughts of suicide as well in a group of people who had committed suicide.” The scientists detected the SAT1 marker and a series of other markers in the blood of the patients, which indicated a propensity to suicide. They found the same markers in the blood of suicide victims. “This suggests that these markers reflect more than just a current state of high risk, but could be trait markers that correlate with long term risk,” said Niculescu.

Boeing patents ‘flying submarine’ concept Posted: 21 Aug 2015 05:01 PM PDT As the Pentagon expands its drone programs, weapons-makers are coming up with increasingly outlandish ideas for unmanned vehicles. Boeing recently patented the science-fiction concept of a flying drone that can turn into a submarine. The Department of Defense announced this week it would increase the number of daily drone flights to as many as 90 by 2019, involving more service branches and even civilian contractors. If engineers can translate concept drawings into reality, some of those flights may be conducted by Boeing machines designed to operate both in the air and under water. Best known for making jet airliners, Boeing filed a patent request for a “vehicle adaptable for both flight and water travel.” Described in the patent application as a “flying submarine,” the proposed drone would include “one or more separable systems which are adaptable for both flight and water travel.” The vehicle’s payload may include sensors and other instruments, but also “another type of payload depending on the purpose of the flight.” While it sounds like something out of a James Bond movie, the Boeing concept isn’t quite up to the car from ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’, the 1976 Lotus Esprit S1 that turned into a submarine through the magic of special effects. For one thing, its transformation is strictly one-way. The patent paperwork shows the vehicle jettisoning its wings, propeller and tail stabilizers upon entering the water, leaving in place another set of propellers and control surfaces for underwater navigation. Both versions would use the same engine, though, the specifics of which remain unknown. The US Patent and Trademark Office granted the patent for a “Rapid deployment air and water vehicle” (US 9,010,678) in April. Documents show the inventor of the vehicle as Nathan Hiller of Irvine, California. Source The post Boeing patents ‘flying submarine’ concept appeared first on USAHM Conspiracy News.

3 US contractors among 12 killed in car bombing targeting foreign convoy in Kabul Posted: 21 Aug 2015 05:00 PM PDT At least 12 people including 3 American contractors were killed and 66 injured in a car bomb explosion, believed to be a suicide bomb attack targeting a civilian NATO contractors’ convoy, in the diplomatic quarter of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. “Twelve dead bodies and 66 wounded people were taken to several Kabul hospitals,” health official Kabir Amiry said. “Some were in a bad condition.” The bomb detonated near the city’s private Shinozada hospital. There were three foreigners among the dead, Afghanistan’s Health Ministry said. The wounded included six women and five children. The scene of the attack is also located close to the US embassy and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) headquarters, which triggered an alarm immediately after the explosion. “There has been an explosion in the 4th Macroyan residential neighborhood of Kabul city,” Fraidoon Obaidi, the head of Kabul’s Criminal Investigation Department, told AFP. “We are investigating the nature of the bombing.” NATO-led Resolute Support mission officials have confirmed that three people killed in the blast were foreign contract workers, although no details about their identities or nationalities have been disclosed so far, Afghan Tolo News reported. “One Resolute Support contracted civilian was killed in the attack and two others died of wounds,” said Brian Tribus, a spokesman for the US-led NATO mission known as Resolute Support. Later, NATO officials confirmed that the killed contractors were Americans, as reported by the Associated Press. It added that according to witnesses and security officials, a suicide bomber in a car apparently targeted a convoy carrying foreigners. According to the officials, most victims were civilians as the incident reportedly took place during the rush hour, when city residents and government officials were making their way home. The explosion also reportedly damaged a bus carrying children.

World’s oldest message in bottle washes ashore Posted: 20 Aug 2015 05:02 PM PDT A message in a bottle thought to be the oldest in the world has been discovered off the coast of Germany after spending more than a century lost at sea. Inside the bottle were messages in English, German and Dutch, with instructions to return the bottle to England. It was discovered by retired postal worker Marianne Winkler who was holidaying on the German Island of Amrum when she discovered the bottle floating in the sea. She told local paper the Amrum News that a note visible through the glass had instructions to “break the bottle.” “My husband, Horst, carefully tried to get the message out of the bottle, but there was no chance, so we had to do as it said,” she said. Inside, the note asked whoever discovered the bottle to fill in details of where they had found it and send it back to the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth, UK. The note said whoever found the bottle would be given one shilling. Staff at the association discovered that the bottle was one of 1,020 bottle cast into the North Sea at some point between 1904 and 1906 as part of an experiment to test the strength of ocean currents. “It was quite a stir when we opened that envelope, as you can imagine,” Communications Director of the Marine Biological Association Guy Baker told the Telegraph. “It was a time when they were inventing ways to investigate what currents and fish did. Many of the bottles were found by fishermen trawling with deep sea nets. Others washed up on the shore, and some were never recovered. “Most of the bottles were found within a relatively short time. We’re talking months rather than decades,” he added. The association is now in contact with Guinness World Records to see if the bottle’s discovery breaks the current record of 99 years. A shilling has also been sent to Marianne and Horst Winkler, just as promised. Source The post World’s oldest message in bottle washes ashore appeared first on USAHM Conspiracy News.

MI5 spied on suspected communists & anti-colonial leaders, secret files reveal Posted: 19 Aug 2015 05:04 PM PDT Bitish intelligence spied on ordinary citizens with left-wing and anti-colonial sympathies during the post-war years, according to newly declassified files in the National Archives. Security agency MI5 subjected anyone with links to the Communist Party to close surveillance, with spies listening to their telephone conversations, opening their letters and even following their movements. Newly released documents reveal the security agency closely monitored David Ennals, who later served as a cabinet minister under Prime Minister Harold Wilson, and author Doris Lessing because of their communist sympathies. In addition to monitoring left-wing activists, MI5 also worked on behalf of the Colonial Office in targeting pro-independence African leaders such as Malawi’s first president Hastings Banda. Recently declassified files demonstrate the huge scope of British intelligence operations in the post-war era, which targeted anyone they considered communist or anti-colonial. MI5 was evidently a well-resourced government department, as the documents include extracts of intercepted letters and telegrams, detailed transcriptions of telephone conversations, newspaper clippings pertaining to the subjects and notes on their movements. Labour MP David Ennals first came to MI5’s attention in 1946, shortly before he became secretary for the Council for Education in World Citizenship. The spy agency’s files cover concerns raised by French and American diplomats that Ennals was a security risk due to his communist sympathies and his brother Martin’s work as a human rights activist. The files also reveal a board member of the United National Association requested information on Ennals prior to his appointment as secretary of the organization in 1952. Ennals was monitored by MI5 up until 1963, the year before he was elected Labour MP for Dover. Martin Ennals, who later became secretary general of Amnesty International, was also closely followed by British intelligence for his suspected pro-Russian sympathies. Nobel Prize winning author Doris Lessing was monitored for 20 years because of her left-wing, anti-colonial views. Lessing came to MI5’s attention while in her home country of Southern Rhodesia – now Zimbabwe – in the early 1940s. An MI6 document passed onto MI5 in 1952 describes the novelist as “certainly pro-communist, though it [is]doubtful if she is a member of the Party. Her communist sympathies have been fanned almost to the point of fanaticism owing to her upbringing in Rhodesia, [which]has brought out in her a deep hatred of the color bar. “Colonial exploitation is her pet theme and she now become as irresponsible in her statements as Coppard saying everything black is wonderful and that all men and all things white are vicious.” The spy agency continued to pass on information about Lessing to the South African police even after she broke her ties with the Communist Party following the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. MI5 is usually thought of as the UK’s domestic intelligence service, but during the last decades of Empire the agency often worked abroad in the colonies. Malawi’s Hastings Banda was targeted by MI5 under pressure from the Colonial Office. The agency intercepted his telephone conversations, despite having doubts about how “subversive” he actually was. MI5 also monitored Kenyan pro-independence leader Oginga Odinga, whose left-wing sympathies made him an object of suspicion among his own countrymen as well as British intelligence. According to University of Cambridge historian Professor Christopher Andrew, MI5 passed on information from the surveillance of colonial delegations to British negotiators during the “fraught negotiations” which led to the dissolution of the Central African Federation in 1963. The agency clearly played a crucial role in the latter years of the British Empire. Professor Andrew said the newly declassified files are changing the way academics view the history of decolonization. “Until recently, most histories of British decolonization did not even mention the role of MI5. MI5, however, was an imperial as well as a UK security service with intelligence responsibilities for British and Commonwealth territories around the world until the end of the 1960s,” he said in a podcast for the National Archives. “Officers who joined MI5 after the Second World War could expect to spend a quarter to a third of their careers on overseas postings,” he added.

Travel in a tube? Elon Musk’s Hyperloop to enter construction in 2016 Posted: 19 Aug 2015 05:00 PM PDT Remember the hyperloop – the futuristic transportation system that’s faster than an airplane that no one thought possible just years ago? Well, the visionary Elon Musk’s idea just got a new lease on life: we could see construction as early as 2016. A public opening of the five-mile test track in Quay Valley, California is slated for 2018. Now, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) wants to prove they can shoulder the load that comes with creating something straight out of science fiction, and made the announcement on Thursday. The company will partner up with engineering-design firm AECOM, as well as the Swiss company Oerlikon, which specializes in vacuums – a technology that is key to the idea. The last piece of the puzzle is architectural firm Hodgetts + Fung. HTT has only revealed news of the partnership to Tech Insider on Thursday, although the alliance has been on for a while. Genius, Elon Musk’s Space X, as well as Boeing is lending engineers to the task as well (it was actually Musk’s idea to begin with). Some confusion may arise as to what a hyperloop is. Not so long ago, people were introduced to the idea of tube transport travelling in a complete vacuum – the pneumatic tube: something that could get you from eastern to western Russia in a matter of hours. But alas, a perfect vacuum remains as elusive as ever. However, as Musk put it exactly two years ago in 2013, above-ground transportation in a near-vacuum, and with extremely low air pressure inside the tubes, is indeed a possibility. He then basically suggested others take up the task. His presentation of the Hyperloop concept, which came along with futuristic renderings of sleek aluminum passenger pods, would travel in an enclosed environment shielded by steel tubes, mounted on pylons 50 to 100 yards apart, at speeds surpassing that of commercial jet liners. That means that the capsules would be moving faster than 500 mph. A trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles would take you about 30 minutes. Now, Dirk Ahlborn, CEO of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, has a serious message for all the naysayers, regarding the partnership reveal: “It’s a validation of the fact that our model works… It’s the next step,” he told Wired. HTT’s creation in 2013 coincided with Musk’s report, but also owes itself to a mixture of crowd-funding and crowd-sourcing platforms under the flag of JumpStartFund – a startup that brings together engineers willing to basically work for free in exchange for stock options. And it’s not like it’s a walk in the park: the five-mile test track they’re building in Quay Valley, California, is going to cost $100 million. Two years later, the company announces it now has 400 “team members.” Ahlborn now tells the Insider that the company is in the process of acquiring all the necessary permits to begin selecting builders for its vision.
