  1. First, look at the first image Jack supplied (Jack has cropped it, possibly for reasons of viewer discretion). The full image is available here:

    A collection of images of the WTC complex.

    Please - anyone else but Jack and indeed everyone else - please post if you think that WTC6 was (pre-attack) greyish (or similar, whatever Jack claims) or if it was black (or blackish, as I and others claim).

    Looks black to me.

  2. Except it wasn't presented to the prime minister by the Apollo astronauts but by an ambassador and from what I've read it was more of a personal gift, not presented in any ceremony or presentation.

    You obviously know more about the story than I do. The article says the item was given to the prime minister during a goodwill tour by the astronauts. If that doesn't imply that the astronauts gave it to him, I don't know what does.

    Also note that NASA reportedly confirmed that it was a moon rock. Lots of practical jokers around that place.

    It's an old story (late August). I've read some othe articles with more info as well as updates. Reportedly the "confirmation" was a phone call where whoever they talked to just repeated that there were hundreds of samples given out to various countries in the 70's. It sounded like the person they talked to didn't pay attention to the fact that this was acquired in 1969 and given to a private citizen and didn't bother to compare it to a list of known samples.

  3. Seems more like a case of somebody who didn't know any better just assumed it was a Moon rock.

    Right. The three Apollo 11 astronauts who presented it to the prime minister didn't know it was petrified wood. Or maybe they did know, and were simply classless jerks.

    Except it wasn't presented to the prime minister by the Apollo astronauts but by an ambassador and from what I've read it was more of a personal gift, not presented in any ceremony or presentation. Again, there is no mount, the plaque doesn't say it is a Moon rock, it is far bigger than any other sample given out and it was a full year before any samples were given out. Again, seems more like a case of somebody who didn't know any better just assumed it was a Moon rock.

  4. Fake Dutch 'Moon Rock' Revealed

    A treasured piece at the Dutch national museum - a supposed moon rock from the first manned lunar landing - is nothing more than petrified wood, curators say.

    It was given to former Prime Minister Willem Drees during a goodwill tour by the three Apollo-11 astronauts shortly after their moon mission in 1969.

    When Mr Drees died, the rock went on display at the Amsterdam museum.

    At one point it was insured for around $500,000 (£308,000), but tests have proved it was not the genuine article.

    The Rijksmuseum, which is perhaps better known for paintings by artists such as Rembrandt, says it will keep the piece as a curiosity.

    "It's a good story, with some questions that are still unanswered," Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation that proved the piece was a fake, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.

    "We can laugh about it."

    The "rock" had originally been been vetted through a phone call to Nasa, she added.

    The US agency gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries following lunar missions in the 1970s.

    US officials said they had no explanation for the Dutch discovery.

    The very article you quoted said "The US agency gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries following lunar missions in the 1970s". This on the other hand was given in 1969 (before samples were given out) and to a private citizen. It was also far bigger than any official sample given out, did not have a mount and the accompanying plaque did NOT say it was a Moon rock. Most importantly, it is obviously, to anybody familiar with rocks and/or petrified wood, NOT a Moon rock as was quickly found out when somebody with a bit of scientific background took a look at it. Seems more like a case of somebody who didn't know any better just assumed it was a Moon rock.

  5. Of course, there are so many more oddities and inexplicable denials, omissions, inactions and incomplete lines of enquiry regarding Diana's death, convenient for some?

    Here's an inconvenient fact for you - had she been wearing her seatbelt (like her bodyguard was) she would have probably have survived. What kind of conspiracy falls on the ability of the victim to save herself in such a simple manner?

    My first thought as well.

  6. Following Sen Joe Wilsons outburst, where he shouted "You Lie" at President Barak Obama, ex President Jimmy Carter claimed that most opposition to Obama was racist in nature. So, does he have a point, or are the Democrats using the race card as cover for an increasingly unpopular President?

    Are complaints against Obama and his increasingly unpopular policies racist? I don't think so. Will it still be used as an excuse. Most definitely

    911 reasons why 9/11 was (probably) an inside job

    09 September, 2009, 17:50

    9/11 was the day steel-framed buildings fell like sandcastles, the law of physics worked in reverse and the United States Air Force went missing in action. So what is the real story?

    By Robert Bridge, RT

    Part two starts out with the falsehood of a two minute intercept on Payne Stewart's jet. Great research standards there. :lol:

    The intercept of Stewart's plane took over an hour. In the official report the time changes from Easter Daylight Time (EDT)to Central Daylight Time (CDT) when Stewart's plane crossed the time zone boundary.

    The official NTSB report is located here

    http://www.ntsb.gov/Publictn/2000/AAB0001.htm

    Here is an article that gets the timing right, adjusted for a single time zone

  8. I was having to log in to several sites multiple times daily until I found that Adaware was deleting all my cookies multiple times a day. Turned that off and I still have to log in to everything about once a week. I still haven't found what is causing that. Only happens on this computer and not on one of my others. Perhaps Jack has adaware or a similar program deleting his cookies?

  9. I've seen that person post at GLP under the name Untypical User. She is known for taking photos of the Moon, running them through multiple photoshop processes, applying her overactive imagination and saying she sees people. Then based on the flawed premise that the Moon has thousands of people on it and they are visible in scopes from Earth that the Moon must be much smaller and closer than "NASA" tells us. Nevermind the fact that the size and distance to the Moon has been known for hundreds of years and can be figured out by anyone familiar with basic math. They're all in on it. Nevermind that nobody else can see these "people", they're all paid to discredit her. I wish I was joking.

  10. Did the building have any open atrium spaces? Or did each floor cover the entire area?

    It had no atrium. It was a boring 'box' type office building with several sub-basements. In the lower one, was a huge vault - aprox. 15 x 15 meters - used by the various government offices in WTC-7, as well as for some gold from some bank/investment companies. After the 'dust cleared' it had a square 'hole' to the bottom; and a few days later the vault was entered and found to have been cleared-out before the attack....[see post 10 above]

    Is there a floor plan somewhere that shows that? The picture, while interesting, does not show one way or the other. Thanks.

  11. And of course you can ring ships at sea. The system is called INMARSAT. A commercial system, but even Australian warships have it installed. Great to be able to literally ring up the Ops Room aboard ask ask a question like 'when will you be finishing the current exercise?'... and this was in the days before mobile (cell) phones. Expensive, though. When I was in joint ops back in '95, it was $12 per minute. I don't imagine it's any cheaper now.

    We actually have that on the JSTARS now. Each jet has its own phone number but the connecivity is mainly used for SIPRNet traffic and MIRC chat. If you don't have access to a chatroom nowadays you're not really involved in the war. The price varies depending on how many channels you are using (1 to 4). IIRC, the price for full 4 channels is about $9 per minute.

  12. The Apollo craft of course did not have phone numbers but as mentioned already, the phone system was patched into the radio system. Not difficult and still used today for other purposes. Quite often on JSTARS we would use a phone patch to call back to our home airfield to get the weather status or other details from across the country. Our comm techs would use the HF or UHF radios to first connect to a nearby base where somebody on the ground would patch us into the telephone system so we could call back to base. I've heard this was even used by those who happened to be deployed over the holidays to call home to their families on Christmas day while flying over Iraq.

  13. I seldom post anything to the Simkin forums anymore because it is dominated by provocateurs.

    But I check the articles daily to see what's happening.

    Since my postings have decreased I have noticed a corresponding decrease in postings by some

    of my "shadows"...people I think have been assigned to follow me anyplace I post for the purpose

    of harassing me.

    My chief JFK shadow, Bill Miller, is almost never heard from anymore (as well as several other JFK

    shadows).

    My chief Apollo shadow and sometime JFK shadow Craig Lamson has become inactive. Some lesser

    shadows post ONLY when I post research on their assigned topic, such as chemtrails.

    However, Colby (911) and Burton (Apollo and 911) are still actively employed, with Burton now

    running the forum.

    Let's see who this message brings out of the woodwork.

    Jack

    It already got one complaint to the moderators. Jack, Jack, please understand the USA is stressed and has limited resources......the missing p'tours are currently reassigned - to keep Goldman Sacks afloat - as well as the Fed....and all the magic-shows known as 'history'. America's deep political structure may have hit the wall financially. They obviously hit and passed the 'wall' years ago morally.....

    Any evidence these "provocateurs" (anyone who dares disagre with Jack White) are paid to post here? No? Any evidence that some people don't just have a different opinion than Jack or Peter? No? Interesting.

    willing to post your W-2's there, sonny?

    I don't believe that you know me well enough to call me "sonny". I'll post them if you think it would actually prove anything. My guess is you would think it was faked anyway. In that case then what's the point in even asking?

  15. Same [apparently] turbine at Fresh Kills Landfill [totally inappropriate place for it - unless to get rid of it!...it doesn't match the one on Church St. and NEITHER are large enough to be real for those planes!!!

    Why do you think it isn't large enough? The center core of the turbine (what is shown there) is only 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the full engine with fan blades and housing (what one sees on the plane itself.) That certainly appears to be large enough.
