Guest Blurb: Seminar Claims Proof that 9-11 Was a Lie

[editor's note: One of my favorite websites is Geek.com and Rick C. Hodgin, aka RickGeek, is a big reason why. Rick, who as an Indiana Libertarian made a strong run for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2004, always provides intelligent, thoughtful commentary on developments inside the computing industry. We're delighted to present Rick's take on a development that could have a profound impact on us all.]

On September 11, 2001, this country fell under attack in an extremely overt manner. The government told us immediately that it was Osama Bin Laden and that Al Qaeda was to blame. They spent the next couple of years convincing us that it was really Saddam Hussein and his support of Al Qaeda which allowed it to all transpire. There was so much of an impact to our society that people really began to watch the mainstream media, look at what's happening and follow events which have transpired since that time.

But have we really?

A man by the name of Alex Jones is having a symposium this weekend in Los Angeles. In his previews and snippets he has stated he will prove the following:

1) That towers 1 and 2 did not collapse due to fire, that rather they were demolished by targeted explosives.
2) That building 7 was brought down entirely by explosives and nothing else.
3) That no commercial airliner hit the Pentagon, but rather some type of small drone or very small aircraft.
4) That we are currently under attack by a type of secret society which plans to remove the Republic for which our nation stands.
5) That the United States, as we all grew up knowing it, is already gone.

His website, called Infowars, offers links to all kinds of video and audio clips which raise some serious questions. He commented yesterday that much of what he's been talking about for the past 12 years was actually picked up by the Associated Press, specifically a part which relates to the construction of the super-highway which, he claims, will divide this country in half.

There is so much information to go through to begin to put together the picture of what he's talking about that it is not really for the casual viewer. But he also promises that that fact is exactly what those in the secret society are counting on.

RICK'S OPINION

There are a host of videos which will get someone up to speed pretty quickly on what Alex Jones is talking about and what he intends to prove at his symposium. You can go to YouTube.com and search for "9-11 September" and find a tremendous amount.

However, I have found the following 6-parter extremely enlightening. It asks questions that, until I saw those videos, I had never seen anyone ask. It really made me stop and think. One video shows some explosion footage that was aired one time, and then never replayed again. Stuff like that raises many questions.

6-part video sequence (not by Alex Jones): One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and an Update.

The bottom line of those videos is this: Much of what is proposed by our government is physically impossible, in so much as physics laws exist at least. The questions raised by those videos, at least for me, are enough to warrant my beginning to ask questions and to begin doing more research on this possibility.

Could our government really be responsible for 9-11? It is unthinkable. I leave you with this: If you think about how "unpatriotic" it is to question our government's actions these days, then to any thinking person that one fact alone (the fact that they actually tell you it *IS* unpatriotic) should be enough to begin asking questions of their true motives.

1) This administration has seen a re-invasion of Iraq.
2) This administration has seen our civil liberties erased by "The PATRIOT Act"
3) This administration has seen our gas prices jump from US$1.30 to $3.00 in many areas, and people today are talking about $5.00 and higher should countries like North Korea or Iran have nuclear abilities sufficient enough to be real.
4) This administration has seen The PATRIOT Act go from its initial sunset timeframe to a permanent form.
5) This adminstration has proven they lie by saying they were not collecting individual's phone information.
6) This adminstration has seen our national debt go from $5.7 Trillion when Bill Clinton left office, to a staggering $8.4 Trillion, an increase of nearly 50% in six years.
7) This administration has put into place thumb-print scanners in public schools so the kids can get food.
8) This administration has done enough damage to our economy, our way of life, our civil liberties and the rest of the world that we have to start asking questions.

I would ask everyone who has ears to hear and eyes to see (and that covers most of us) to watch those videos, listen to Alex Jones' show and ask yourself questions. Don't rely on him, our main news media outlets, or anyone else for your conclusions. If there are questions that need answered in your mind, then ask them. Don't rely on me, them, or anyone else for those answers.

The symposium will happen today and tomorrow. You can read more about it at the links above.

John Oram sent me a link to a bit Charlie wrote at Mike's inquirer showing an LGA Pentium 4 that had welded itself to the motherboard contacts. Charlie suggested that the catastrophe was due to a thermal throttling failure.

However, I think this P4 disaster doesn't have anything to do with thermal monitoring. The burn patterns do not originate from the die, but from the contacts. If the die produced the heat necessary to melt the metals in the pads/contacts as shown in the photo, then all the inner contacts would have been destroyed first and the package would almost certainly be scorched from the inside out. Also, the package itself has residue primarily along its edges and none under the the die itself.

That wrecked CPU was almost certainly destroyed by water leaking into the LGA socket and shorting out contacts and triggering electrolysis. Considering that the water cooler failed prior to the problem, this explanation makes the most sense.

Milosevic Found Dead in United Nations Prison Cell

The odds are favorable that the former Serbian president was assassinated. His lawyer claims that Mr. Milosevic's death might be due to poisoning. However, the UN is refusing to permit a medical team selected by Mr. Tomanovic, Mr. Milosevic's lawyer, to examine the body. Despite the pointed conflict of interest, the UN is only allowing its own team to perform an autopsy on Mr. Milosevic. While government minions across the world chant the mantra, "nothing to hide, nothing to fear," as they roll out a global surveillance state, the UN leadership demonstrates it has no intention of applying such notions on itself.

So was Slobodan Milosevic guilty for crimes against humanity? When a man is constantly attacked in the mainstream media, as this posthumous article further demonstrates (while trying to make death by natural causes seem plausible), the truth is probably far from what we have been told.

With his death, the UN International Criminal Tribunal charged with determining his guilt will prematurely disband near the end of lengthy proceedings that have dragged on for over four years. Despite UN prosecutor's claims to the contrary, some court reports indicate that Mr. Milosevic often humiliated his UN adversaries. Mr. Milosevic had subpoenaed President Clinton to appear as a witness, which, if successful, would have forced the former U.S. President to testify at the Tribunal before the defense rested its case this coming summer.

What Gives With Google?

For many years a Google search for "Van Smith" would logically yield Van's Hardware Journal as the number one hit. Although we have not been very active in recent years, we at one time had a quarter-million unique visitors each month and we still have a PR6 ranking. Very recently, a friend indirectly brought to my attention that our site was still landing at the top of Google searches for my name.

But no more.

Although Yahoo searches still return this site at the top of a "Van Smith" search, starting in the last couple of weeks or so Google suddenly doesn't list our site at all on the first search page. Instead, very obscure links appear at the top of the list including a strange pro-Iraq War hit at number 2.

At the time that I made the original Google discovery a little over a week ago, MSN still returned our site at the top of its searches. However, now it does not. In fact, our site does not show up until the fifth search page with even secondary links from the OSMark forums appearing ahead of VHJ! Such a reordering is plainly illogical.

So in the course of a couple of weeks, our website has suddenly gone from the number one hit when conducting a directly relevant search to becoming deeply buried by two major search engines.

Google has recently come under scrutiny for agreeing to censor searches in China. This practice has escalated with the search giant banning a mainstream news website from its worldwide search engines.

Is Van's Hardware Journal now falling victim to rejiggered search engines designed to bury politically sensitive websites?

In any case, once I finish moving my family, I intend to gradually revitalize this site.

'Homeland Security' Opening Snail Mail

And to hell with the 4th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. The Constitution is "just a #$#$ #$&%# piece of paper!" our leaders appear to believe. Mainstream ~~Propaganda~~ Media declares the Constitution a "living document" and that strict interpretations are antiquated.

Of course, we all have known since the "Patriot Act" that ~~Big Brother~~ Uncle Sam considers all of our email to be his property. Although the decree also violates the 4th Amendment, the Patriot Act allows, though color of law, Homeland Security to read any and all email sent by anyone to anybody.

I've wanted to write a "one-time pad" email program for a long time, but have not been able to get around to it. The relentless march of our government towards tyranny renews that impulse regularly.

"One-time pad" (OTP) encryption is unbreakable if a source of truly random numbers is available. Up until recently, a good source of "entropy" (randomness) was not widely available for personal computing applications. Now, however, VIA's C3 and C7 processors include hardware-based entropy engines that are virtually fire hoses of random bits. What's extra nice is that this entropy geyser is very easy to tap.

While there are a few programs that claim to use OTP, unless the key is truly random -- and the only way to reliably achieve this for large bitstreams is through hardware-based RNGs (random number generators) -- the ciphertext is potentially breakable.

If you know of any VIA-optimized OTP email programs, please let me know.

Without God There is No Freedom

This is a note that I sent to a friend who frequently wears t-shirts bearing blatant Satanic slogans and who goes by Satanic monikers in some Internet communications.

Why don't you get "666" tattooed on your forehead and be done with it? :)

Actually, the Mark of the Beast will be a microchip/device that you will be forced to have integrated onto/into your body that will allow the Beast to track and control everything that you buy or sell. The chip will enable the Beast to monitor when you logon to your computer or to take this "privilege" away at his whim. The Beast will know what you are viewing on the Internet and what you say to you girlfriend in your email. Your chip will have to be scanned when you travel, when you check out a book at the library, when you go to the doctor and as you walk down the street. You might very well even be monitored scrupulously enough so that the Beast will know when you enter or leave your house or when you get up in the morning and go to bed at night. Nothing will escape his Eye, or at least that is in his plan known as the "Beast System."

Even in my most depraved, incoherent states, I can't imagine this sounding cool to anyone except our Overlords. Our politicians, both Democrat and Republican alike, seem to be hell-bent on establishing the type of ubiquitous surveillance state required by the Beast. Bush, through the Patriot Acts and various Homeland Security initiatives, is rolling out huge portions of the Beast System, so true Satanists worship Bush. All others devil worshipers are simply pretenders. Of course, I write that somewhat tongue-in-cheek knowing your antipathy for the current President, but there is literal truth in those statements...

The Beast seeks to abolish Free Will. Christ brought to mankind a message that enabled true Free Will, the type of self determination that led to the birth of our nation. Free Will requires Truth. Free Will requires God. Destroy one, you destroy them all.

Without God, without Truth, you are left with the rule of man which inevitably leads to enslavement.

Without God there is no Freedom.

Christ knew what he was talking about, friend. Christ was the Son of God.
