This is my very first question of the day post and already I have two instead of just one!
I want to make a quick note letting you all know that I am actually looking for answers to all the questions I post in this section of my blog. I honestly don’t know the answers so feel free to reply if you know them, or if you want to leave a witty answer I’ll accept that too!
Numero ONE: How do you pronounce the name Piers? Is it like the word “pierce” or “piers” like the wooden things you walk on that jut out over the water?
Number DEUX: Why are barns so tall? Animals are always on the bottom floor and even taking into consideration a loft it seems like a lot of wasted space up there.
About the questionable pics the Puerto Rican docs took in Haiti…
There is only one that I really think is bad, the naked patient one. Other than that I don’t see what the big deal is at all.
I can tell you in all honestly that if I spent the day digging through the rubble and the bloated rotting bodies trying to find someone alive, I would be hitting the bottle at night too. Who cares? What do people expect, they are in hell over there, they are going to do whatever they can to take the edge of the day. Yeah, they played with guns, who wouldn’t want to! I mean, seriously!
Obviously putting the pics up on facebook was pretty goddamn stupid, but if it weren’t for that one single picture it’d be ridiculous to make this such a big deal. Seems to me that people are focusing more on the fact they were drinking and smiling rather than the fact there was a picture of a naked patient on the table. WTF?
Here are the pictures of the Puerto Rican doctors getting their groove on in Haiti:
I don’t have any trouble believing that the planes that crashed into tower one and two were not commercial planes. I son’t have a solid opinion about that at this time.
Now, what I do know is that people make terrible witness, they get things wrong, mixed up, they automatically pick up what they other people around them saying and all of that becomes part of the truth. That’s why in trials eye witness accounts aren’t enough to prosecute and win in a lot of cases.
When they show the plane in this video it does look really gray, a dark gray but again, you can see it is in the shadows. Just before it hits the building the wing and tail goes into the sunlight and it isn’t so dark looking anymore.
Oh one more thing, they said they couldn’t have been planes that hit because there was no wing shaped crash to the building, I looked at other videos and images and I was able to see the planes wing slice into the building.
Another important part of the whole abortion issue. A lot of women choose abortion because it’s the easy way out, or so they think at the time. It’s later when they realize that isn’t always the case at all. It can have a devastating impact on the rest of a persons life and you can’t turn back the clock. Once it’s done, that’s it and I think a lot of people don’t realize that at the time. Later though, it can be really painful, especially when people start having a family. That really slams it home.
And I get that people aren’t ready to have a kid sometimes, but just because you don’t get an abortion doesn’t mean you have to be a parent. There are a LOT of people out there who are never ready to really settle down and raise a child, there is nothing wrong with that at all.
It’s just that there are countless people who want a child more than anything in the world but who can’t conceive. I wish people would choose adoption over abortion.
The aftermath of abortion is a painful process for millions of people. But what really bugs me, as I said before, is the fact that it’s all about the women.
If you had wanted to keep that child and the girl was dead set against it and wanted an abortion, no changing her mind, she would have been able to get it anyway. That’s just not right. Men should have a say in what happens to their children too.
I also think that guys should talk about what it’s like for them. We hear about women who regret having an abortion but rarely about the men. They are out there though. Like you said, you have feelings about what happened, tons of guys do but for some reason it seems to be a taboo type of subject. Like abortion is something that only happens to women. It’s often traumatic for the fathers too, I think they need some support as well.
MISSING: Susan Powell and the New-Found Power of Social Networking
The plight of missing adults is getting a bit of a helping hand now that we have things like twitter, facebook and other social networking sites and news sites. Now families and friends can take back at least a little control over the situation and directly reach the public and ask for help in finding their missing wives, fathers, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, best friends and other loved ones.
I was pleased to be a part of a media blitz that was held for missing mother Susan Powell. I tweeted, facebooked and all that in hopes of generating some new leads into her case. I am posting about her again today because unfortunately she is still missing.
There is one person of interest in the case, her husband Joshua Powell. Since she went missing on December 7, 2009, he has already begun the process of moving himself and his children from their home in Utah to Washington state. He says that he and took their two young children camping, leaving her behind at home. Why would you go camping in the cold winter weather? Good question, one the police have asked as well. He states that the last time he saw her was around midnight. Then she simply disappeared.
It’s a strange story made even more odd by the fact that he left town to go and visit family members in Washington for the holidays. His wife hadn’t even been missing two weeks yet. I can’t help but feel that’s telling behaviour because I know that if someone I loved went missing I would be out there searching the woods and anywhere else I thought there was even the slightest hope of finding her. I would certainly not sell my house either, I would be afraid to, it would be like giving up and I would never be able to bring myself to do that.
With all that said, it’s imperative that we all keep an open mind, at least to some extent. Focusing on one single person can be dangerous in a missing persons case. All angles need to be investigated, all people checked out. Things can sometimes look one way but really be very different.
Instead of focusing entirely on nailing Josh in Susan Powell’s disappearance, let’s focus on finding her and bringing her home to her family.
Anyone with information regarding the case can call West Valley City Police at (801) 840-4000. Please do not hesitate to call with even the smallest bit of info, you just never know how important that piece of the puzzle could be.
Abortion. I don’t like it. I wouldn’t have any problem with it being made illegal. I am a woman but I don’t think that just because it’s my body I have the right to extinguish a life. As soon as I became pregnant with Jake my body ceased to be mine and mine alone. It became ours. Mine and his.
But one of the biggest issues for me in terms of abortion and the laws that currently exist is the fact that the fathers have virtually no say as to whether or not their child is aborted. The fetus is not just the womans, it is also the fathers and he should have rights.
If a man gets a woman knocked up and she wants to have an abortion but he wants her to carry the baby to term and give it to him to raise, I think she should have to do it. It’s only 9 months and it’s a consequence of her actions.
I was 17 when I got pregnant and it happened because I was being irresponsible. When you choose to have sex, you are also choosing to roll the dice. Even with protection and pills you can still become pregnant. If you don’t want to deal with the fallout then don’t fuck around.
I think the laws need to be made more father friendly basically. Just because the fetus is in her body doesn’t, well shouldn’t, mean she is the only one that has a say as to whether the baby will be born or not.
I am going to start off with the fact that I don’t know which side the plane came from, there could be a possibility that it couldn’t be seen because it was coming low from the direction behind the twin towers. That would have made it impossible for the news anchors to see it. BUT then I see other video that shows “a missile” which I didn’t really see at all.
You know I am writing this as I watch right? Ok, cause I am.
Now in part 4 around the 1.00 min mark they kinda got me there, THAT part was pretty interesting. BUT I would love to track down the original source of the new video juuuuuust to double check that what this series is showing me has not been tampered with. See I told you I was cynical.
Aaaaaaaannnnd they lost me again. Now the practically invisible “missile” path has a new optical shape to watch and oddly enough it is a LOT clearer and more obvious than the one they showed at the beginning of the tape. Ugh I am confused, why didn’t they lead with that image? Are they saying that the government made it more noticeable to later pass it off as the plane?
If you’re interested you can read what I had to say about Part One and Part Two of this World Trade Center series in my previous posts.
Part THREE of WTC No Plane Theory Series:
You see the first tower burning, the second tower in behind it and to the left. This leaves a gap of space between the first tower hit and whatever that building is beside it. In this view we cannot see tower 2, it is hidden by tower 1. You can see the explosion from the crash though, that mushrooms out from around building one.
The person who made this video talks about something black near the bottom of the screen just before the second tower was hit. I think that it’s perfectly reasonable to believe it was the plane, not a missile as the narrator claims. You can’t see a whole lot of it because the gap in the buildings is pretty small from this angle. And the whole “wingless” thing,? The images are so blurry and it was moving so fast it’s easy to see why things like that wouldn’t be super clean. This isn’t high def we are talking about, and the angle of the plane, the shade in relation to the morning sun and the surrounding buildings all have to be taken into consideration.
Think I saw wings when they said there was none in the video they were highlighting. Again I think the light played with the image a bit, and you could definitely see the left wing when it crashed into the tower at about 2.34 on the WTC No Plane Theory (Part 3) vid,
Honestly I think a lot of this is grasping at straws. I remember watching it all that day, and I’ve watched a lot of videos lately and there were a LOT of birds flying around the area, flocks of them. Which I thought was weird btw, but that is a different topic. That speck pointed out near the end could be a million different things. Every sing day there are plane and helicopter trours flying over the river for the tourists, it could have been one of those. Could also be a bird, oddly enough there were tons and tons of them around the building that day.
As for the sound, I don’t necessarily think that it is impossible for these to be more than one explosion. First you have the plane actually crashing, one explosion, then you have it coming out the other side, two explosions, then you have the fuel tank actually blowing up for what makes at least 3 explosions. That will come one by one.
I can’t make any comments on the sirens because I would need to hear from the policemen and firemen involved why they shut off their sirens. I know that sirens make it harder for everyone to hear what is going on, that’s why they wear those special headsets. They very well could have been asked to shut down the sirens so everyone could hear what was happening and what they should do. That, to me, makes sense. That would have been a wide broadcast too all responding officers.
I find this part of the series so far the most annoying. Planes have an annoying shriek too, missiles aren’t the only things that have them. BUT in my opinion the person making this video is full of shit, I think it’s totally possible that the “missile shriek” they say they heard the one they replay over and over for a split second, is the sound of one of the rescue sirens. It’s so short, it def could be.
You may or may not have read my previous post about what I thought about the first part of the World Trade Center No Plane Theory documentary on YouTube. If not you can read my commentary to get caught up to speed, but most of my comments are directly related to the video at the top of each post, so I don’t think you will be lost if you watch the one above and read my opinions below:
Part TWO of the WTC No Plane Theory
They show what a Boeing is supposed to look like, it’s gray with stripes, then the commentary in the video says ooooh, look at how black it looks is this super crappy video. Clearly it’s a darker plane. The video was hideous in terms of clarity, all fuzzy and out of focus, in my esteemed opinion it could still have been a Boeing.
The next thing they want you to see is that in the video from the street just before the plane comes into contact with Tower 2 you can “clearly see” the plane is white. I hate to burst anyone’s bubble but it was a bright sunny morning and if the sun hit the plane just right it could definitely appear very light in color. Besides, am not even sure what color the plane really was supposed to be, I am going to have to go and look that up now. They weren’t all the exact same planes I don’t think.
Video writing on the screen says you can’t have it both ways. BUT you can. Depending on the way the sun is hitting the plane it can easily look all dark or not. I have personally seen planes that looked a dark shade of gray and many of them were really a light color. The video keeps refrencing the way the plane changes color from when it’s approaching the scene to when it actually hits, I think this could be explained by the morning sun or the quality of the video. What they show of the “black plane” is nowhere near the quality of the video of the white one. Of course I’m no expert, but then again neither are the people saying these things.
Too many people were there on September 11 watching from the street, too many people with camera phones, and cameras, it’s been seen from every possible angle and there is no way they could get everyone to lie for them, no way they could have tracked down every single person who may have snapped a shot. I can’t buy that at all.
BUT I am totally open to why the planes hit and who was behind it. I don’t think Bush was behind it but his cronies? I think they are more than capable of pulling off this kind of evil for their own means. They couldn’t trust Bush to not screw things up so of course they would keep him out of the loop, he is way too stupid to let in on the deal.
So watching the WTC No Plane Theory series on youtube section by section and taking them apart piece by piece. Not super convinced when it comes to a lot of what they have to say. Please remember that while I will pick apart what they say, I am not automatically saying I believe the US government about anything. I am cynical of everything, truth and lies get scrutinized in my book. Hard facts work for me, other things may cause me to ask questions but not necessarily convince me on their own.
I have watched 3 parts already and taken so many notes it’s like a friggen essay already! I will post each of the three videos with my comments one post at a time.
Part ONE of WTC No Plane Theory
I do think a plane could pass through the World Trade Center buildings with it’s nose intact. The plane that hit that day never passed through the core of the building which is the most solid part, the shape of it would help as well. It crashed on the side and the curvature of the nose of any plane is designed that way for a reason. The vast speed alone would easily propel the place through the building
I can buy a missile hitting the pentagon but I don’t believe that no planes hit the towers on September 11th. I can believe the planes had explosives attached to them to create more damage but too many individual sources caught the planes hitting the towers from all angles for me to even consider they didn’t exist.
