Physics Professor Steven E. Jones, Ph.D., co-editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of 9/11 Studies, and member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice gives a presentations in Sacramento, California, on April 30th, 2009.

This is the first lecture by Steven E. Jones after the publication of the peer-reviewed paper Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe, published in The Open Chemical Physics Journal on April 3rd, 2009, which describes that nanothermite, a high-tech, military grade explosive, was used during the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7.

Veteran Intelligence Officers on Torture

Torture is one of those accumulated evils.  Violating domestic laws like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 is another.  You were right to unceremoniously jettison former CIA director Michael Hayden, who betrayed the thousands of NSA professionals who, until he directed that domestic law could be ignored, had adhered scrupulously to the 1978 FISA law as NSA’s “First Commandment”—Thou Shalt Not Eavesdrop on Americans Without a Court Warrant.

Sadly, President Bush was not the first chief executive to find a small cabal of superpatriots, amateur thugs, and contractors to do his administration’s bidding.  But never before in this country were lawless thugs given such free rein.  The congressional “oversight” committees looked the other way.

The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (formally the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act) authorizes a dramatic funding increase for AmeriCorps and other volunteer programs, and the creation of new programs for seniors and veterans. It establishes a goal of expanding from 75,000 government-supported volunteers to 250,000, and would increase education funding and establish a summer volunteer program for students, paying $500 (which would be applied to college costs) to high-school and middle-school student who participate.

President Barack Obama signed the legislation on April 21, 2009. While it authorizes $5.7 billion over six years, Congress must still approve the funding as part of the budget.

GOVERNOR SEBELIUS MUST VETO KANSAS LEGISLATION

According to studies acknowledged by the FDA, milk from treated cows has higher levels of pus, antibiotics, growth hormone, and Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). It is the IGF-1 that has the medical community up in arms. The American Nurses Association called for the elimination of rbGH in dairy production. The past president of the American Medical Association urged hospitals to serve only rbGH-free milk (over 160 hospitals have pledged to do so). And schools nationwide are banning the drugged milk as well.

Cancer link to milk hormone

IGF-1 is a risk factor for cancer. A Lancet study showed that pre-menopausal women below age 50 with high levels of IGF-1 are seven times more likely to develop breast cancer. A study in Science found that men with high IGF-1 levels are four times more likely to get prostate cancer. IGF-1 is implicated in lung and colon cancer.

Iraq Veterans Against the War

Army Sergeant Matthis Chiroux was in Iraq since 2002; he saw terrible things and refused to go back. Chiroux’s big trial was yesterday: honorable discharge & he keeps his GI college fund.

Matthis Chiroux was on fox news (just the local news, listed after sports), getting foxed for wearing his flag upside down at the trial… fox failed to mention that flying ANY flag upside-down is THE “international signal for distress” used by ships for centuries. Other than local fox, it looks like a total media blackout.

Get ready to clean out your cupboards on Earth Day

April 18, 7:21 AM

Influential local food blog, Real Food Media, is leading a rolling challenge about the dangers of genetically modified foods set to launch on Earth Day. Go to Real Food Media to learn how to clean out your cupboards and stop eating GMOs.

Similar to the Eat Local Challenge the No GMO Challenge gives consumers a way to organize, educate and build awareness around the serious health and environmental risks of genetically modified food.

Founder of Real Food Media, Ann Marie Michaels says, “The majority of Americans don’t trust GM foods and want GMOs labeled. The sad thing is, there’s so little information about genetically modified food. Most of us are eating it every day and we don’t even know it.”

Most processed foods contain corn, canola or soybean oils, soy lecithin, or high fructose corn syrup.

According to PEW, CBS and ABC polls:
• 52% believe GM foods are unsafe
• 93% say the government should require labels on food saying whether it’s been genetically modified

2009/04/03: Active Thermitic Material
Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 WTC Catastrophe

Peer-Reviewed Scientific Report

We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.
