Loose Change Fried 6

See Loose Change Fried 1, Loose Change Fried 2, Loose Change Fried 3, Loose Change Fried 4, and Loose Change Fried 5.

     It’s time to continue exposing the lies from Loose Change, continuing from my previous article.

     At 36 minutes and 5 seconds, Loose Change repeats the freefall lie.  However, as you see from the picture here, the debris OUTSIDE the building falls FASTER than the floors.

     Loose Change also claims that 200,000 tons of steel shattered into sections no more than a couple feet long while ignoring the fact that it’s difficult to get an accurate sense of scale when referring to the WTC ( source).

     Avery also claims that tons of concrete were pulverized into dust, but as this site  points out, that is an assumption ( again, the first 3 letters of assume accurately describe what the “truthers” keep making of themselves), as there was plenty of concrete that was NOT dust.  This link also reminds us that there was plenty of gypsum, insulation, etc that would be much easier to pulverize into dust than concrete.       

     At 36 minutes and 22 seconds, Loose Change asks what brought down the WTC.  Hint:  it’s called gravity ( reference).   As for the source of gravity, that would be a little thing we call the Earth.

     These quotes from here from Loose Change in the same time frame come from Van Romero, the Vice President for Research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology: “My opinion is, based on the videotapes, after the airplanes hit the World Trade Center, there were some explosive devices inside that caused the towers to collapse. The collapses were too methodical to be a chance result of airplanes colliding with the structures, ” and from ten days later, “Certainly the fire is what caused the building to fail.”

     Next, at 36 minutes and 48 seconds,  Loose Change wants to know why Romero suddenly changed his mind.  As we see here, the answer is simple:  Unlike the CT’s, Van Romero is honest and talked to the REAL experts. In other words, he talked to the structural engineers and people involved in the investigation and admitted he was wrong.

     At 36 minutes, and 52 seconds, Loose Change states that the WTC was designed to withstand a Boeing 707 hitting it.  While this is technically true, this quote from here  tells us what Loose Change left out: “Yes, a 707 lost in the fog, traveling at approach speed after dumping fuel. Anyway, the buildings did withstand the impact, despite heavy damage. What impresses most engineers is how long the buildings stood up.”

     Loose Change claims that Underwriters Laboratories certified the steel used in the WTC which is a blatant lie ( source).

     At 38 minutes and 20 seconds, Loose Change claims that not even the experts agree with each other.  Again, that’s false- In point of fact, not one single structural engineer ( you know, the guys who are actually QUALIFIED in this area) has agreed with the CT’s ( source).

     From 40 minutes and 58 seconds to 42 minutes and 54 seconds, Avery harps on the loud noises (  explosions) and flashes of light as the WTC collapse. However, as this site reminds us, 1) Most explosions are not caused by bombs, 2) 200 million pounds falling onto 800 million pounds is going to be a bit noisy, and 3) Electrical cables and transformers blowing are going to cause flashes of light.

     Oh, this site also raises another excellent point:  If the elevator shafts were hermetically sealed and airtight, then how the heck did people get in and out of the elevators?          

     Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to fertilize my garden with Loose Change-  the only time it’ll ever be put to good use.

 

 

 

 

Young Obamanazis…(Updated)

UPDATE: I had to add this “ticket” (right) that “Obama for Omerica” left in the comment section. Click on the image to enlarge.

WARNING: Don’t watch this if you have a weak stomach. I remember a time when kids would get together like this in this country and sing songs like this about Jesus. Actually, it still happens in rural America, where people are clinging to their guns and religion.

But in a certain neighborhood in LA, California, they’re singing about the Obamessiah, instead. Nevermind that most of these kids were waaaaay too old to be doing the hand motions to their songs, and that this little production required a cast and crew of around 70 people, and that NBC and/or the Obama campaign apparently sponsored this (not just a bunch of crazed Obamaparents - more at ScoopThis.org)…What I don’t understand is what on earth could these kids be so unhappy about…what, exactly, do they want “changed?!”

Ed Morrissey compares this to Hitler Youth and Communist indoctrination on HotAir.

U.S. Treasury Issues New $1 Bill

It seems the treasury department is always finding ways to make our money more interesting. Many of you may have seen the new bills which are now color-coded to make it a little harder for counterfeiters. Some of you may be collecting the “state quarters,” designed to commemorate each of the states in the order that they became part of the union. Well, now, those creative folks at the treasury department have found a way to make our money more accurately reflect the feeling of many about the current state of the U.S. Economic market.
