Infrasound Weapons: Silent But Deadly

Infrasound Weapons: Silent But Deadly


The range of human hearing is quite limited. This is not a revelation to most people, as it is common knowledge that animals, including our household pets, are able to perceive frequencies of sound beyond that of their human owners. In fact, dog whistles and certain types of "invisible fences" are practical applications of this knowledge. These devices operate at a higher frequency than humans can audibly perceive, however, there is also a bottom threshold to human hearing, which is about 15 cycles per second. The area below this frequency is known as infrasound. Although infrasonic frequencies cannot be heard by people, they can be felt. Perhaps you've experienced pressure or vibrating in your chest generated by powerful subwoofers blasting out bass lines at a concert.
At greater intensities, infrasound can make a person feel ill and disoriented. At even greater energies, infrasound can kill by causing the internal organs of a person to vibrate so violently that they rupture. Obviously any device that could generate infrasound at these energies would make a devious and lethal weapon.
The reason sound waves can kill is that they carry energy. The sound waves caused by a powerful thunderclap, though miles distant, can not only startle a person, but can rattle dishes in cabinets and knock knick-knacks off shelves. That is because the sound waves still carry enough energy to disturb physical objects despite traveling such a distance.
In 1957, while the Cold War was still quite heated, Dr. Vladimir Gavreau had assembled a team of researchers dedicated to developing robotic devices for a variety of military and industrial purposes. During work, the team would periodically fall victim to spells of nausea. Even those called upon to inspect the facility to determine the cause would experience the same ill feeling. Strangely, whenever the afflicted person or persons would step outside the building, the symptoms vanished. They found that opening the windows reduced the effect, but not did not eliminate it entirely. The mystery affliction persisted, causing a serious disruption of Gavreau's work. Eventually, after other causes such as noxious vapors or compounds were ruled out, the culprit was determined to be a ventilation fan motor. Gavreau's team knew the fan motor was the culprit, as direct exposure to it caused its victim to be ill for hours afterward, but they did not know why.
The motor was causing vibrations of the air at 7 cycles per second, well into the infrasonic range. The sound from the fan motor could not be heard, but its effects were quite evident. Eventually they determined the infrasonic waves from the motor caused a resonance within the building. A resonance occurs when the frequency of sound is just right so that the peaks and troughs of the sound waves bouncing back and forth in a medium line up and reinforce each other. Thus, the peaks are higher and the troughs are deeper. The cavernous interior of the industrial building amplified the sound waves even more. When the thoughts of the group turned toward reproducing the effect through some type of self-contained, movable apparatus, the potential for weaponization became obvious. Experimentation produced a device utilizing large custom-built organ pipes, with the energy supplied first by a motor-driven piston, then by a pneumatic mechanism.
Dr. Gavreau's team tested the infrasonic device on themselves. The effects were almost immediate. First came intense pressure on the eyes and eardrums. Soon after, intense pain racked the entire body. Then the entire building, a massive and stout concrete structure, was shaken. One of the team members managed to switch off the power, despite being in excruciating pain. The group experienced altered vision and painful spasms throughout the body for days following that one brief test. In retrospect, it seems that if the device had been left on any longer, Dr. Gavreau and his team would have died right there and then, victims of their impatience to have empirical data on the effect of their new endeavor on living human beings. The team had also seriously miscalculated the power that would be generated by their device.
Earlier I referred to infrasonic weapons as both lethal and devious. The devious nature is derived from the fact the weapon makes no audible sound. A solider approaching a defense perimeter using infrasonic weaponry would have no advance warning that he or she was walking into a death trap. Additionally, sounds at such low frequencies pass easily through solid objects, such as concrete walls.
Given the rapid proliferation of atomic weapons following WWII, one might expect to have seen in the years following Gavreau's discovery battlefield ready infrasonic weapons capable of slaughtering entire opposing armies, without warning and without the firing of a single bullet. It is surprising therefore, at least on some level, that infrasonic weapons of deadly capability have apparently never been used outside of an experimental setting.
Could it be that the superpowers of the East and West had conscientious objections to using such a stealthy but brutal weapon? Or were they afraid of tipping the balance of power that Mutually Assured Destruction maintained? These days we do not fear hydrogen bombs and ICBMs launched by the Soviets, rather we fear suitcase nukes and low-tech dirty bombs in the hands of terrorists and extremists. Considering a handful of scientists were able to build an effective infrasonic weapon out of oversized organ pipes and a simple air-compressor, would duplicating this really be outside the capability of a terrorist group or other rouge entity? Perhaps we should just be thankful that it appears there is little interest in weaponizing sound in such circles and Gavreau's weapon is relegated to being another obscure historical curiosity.

911 - THE WTC'S DECLINE AND EXODUS

THE WTC'S DECLINE AND EXODUS


Talking about "9/11 institutions", what of the WTC complex itself? What was it exactly? Most people in the world are still under the impression that those towering behemoths really were the pride of US bustling capitalism, with shiny modern offices and luscious furniture - and lots of happy tenants, all the way up to 2001. This is entirely false. Of course, the news media kept hammering into our minds that there were "50.000 people" in those buildings... Hence, in order for the public to start accepting that the WTC towers were actually empty (and hopefully everyone knows no one can die in an empty building), it is absolutely essential to destroy this basic myth.

Here are some extracts of "Divided we stand" by Eric Darton (1999) which should be quite illuminating for people who don't know - or cannot come to terms with the notion - that the towers were a redundant, decrepit and largely vacated ghost structure - perhaps long before 2001.

***

(from p.190)
DETAILS: THE PHYSICAL PLANT

Pacing out the periphery of the trade towers in the late 1990s, one nav-
igated a cracked badlands of sidewalk crudely patched with mismatch-
ing cement. The weathered, gray (originally white) Italian marble
paving on the plaza was a spiderweb of cracks, a condition that under-
mined the addition of benches and flowerbeds and the tinkling medley
of new-age harmonics emanating from a score of tiny speakers mounted
beneath Yamasaki's arcades. Construction equipment and barricades
around the site appeared to have been deployed and then abandoned
by a retreating army.

And up in the towers, where asbestos removal was still under way,
a host of details pointed toward a rift opening up within the trade cen-
ter itself. In 1985, when New York State moved most of its offices out,
Dean Witter consolidated its operations in twenty-four floors of Tower
2 under a twenty-year lease. Visiting the brokerage and investment
firm's offices and cafeterias, one invariably found them spotlessly
maintained. But on adjacent floors, particularly those with multiple
tenants, the paint was dingy, the carpets were stained, fixtures re-
mained broken, and burned-out fluorescent lights went unreplaced, as
did discolored ceiling tiles. And the listing of a company on the direc-
tory did not reliably indicate that a company was still there.


And who indeed was there, inhabiting the self-proclaimed heart of
world trade? In 1966, as the PA was bulldozing Radio Row, the City
Planning Commission reported that "the prime objective of the WTC is
to simplify and expand international trade by centralizing and consoli-
dating within the Center essential world trade services and activi-
ties.... The Center will contain only government agencies and private
firms which play a part in international marketing and in the adminis-
trative processing of world trade. "
Yet according to its own
1993 occupancy survey, the Port Authority found that trade service and
import-export tenants accounted for only 5 percent of its leases.

The Port Authority closed out the 1990s with a stream of press re-
leases announcing the rental of unimaginably huge quantities of trade
center office space
to "cutting-edge" firms like Sun Microsystems. Yet
around the complex a million square feet stood empty, and the build-
ings originally intended as great catalyzing chambers of world trade
were, by degrees, transforming into a kind of disjunctive real estate
layer-cake. One story above the carpeted, wood-paneled offices of a
Japanese securities firm, a group of artists filled bare walls with boldly
colored images and hung sculptures from the exposed ceiling girders of
a vast echoing cavern. As part of a Lower Manhattan Cultural Council
program that turned some of the vacant space in the towers over to
artists rent-free, 40,000 square feet of concrete floor lay paint-
spattered and strewn with the raw materials of a creative urge that has
never been easily reconciled with the imperatives of a bottom line.


On page 204, Eric Darton mentions what is defined as 'the modest economy boost'
of the WTC1993 bombings (I kid you not!) which allowed to relocate
350 bombed-out trade center tenants into vacant office space nearby...


from p. 204

In January 1996, Governor Pataki announced that he was moving
the trade center's last state tenant, the governor's office itself, to cheaper,
more convenient space in midtown.

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

The February 1993 blast in the basement of the World Trade Center
killed 6 people, injured 1,000 others, displaced 50,000 workers, and
threw 900 Vista Hotel and Windows on the World employees out of
work, but it also provided a modest boost for the regional economy.
This, at any rate, was the conclusion the Port Authority came to in an
April 1993 report released six weeks after the bombing.

(...)

For the agency, this silver lining was due in part to the ease with
which the 350 bombed-out trade center tenants could be moved into
abundant vacant office space nearby.
Breathing an almost palpable
sigh of relief, then-PA chair Richard Leone noted that relocating ten-
ants would have been far more protracted and expensive had the ex-
plosion occurred in the boom year of 1985.

In other words, may I tentatively presume that the 1993 bombings helped scare the sh#t out of the last remaining WTC tenants and make them get the hell outta there? You should also know that the official line (post-2001) was that "in September 2001 the WTC towers were at 95% capacity and had 400 tenants". Could that possibly have been a ...ehrm...a lie? Well, "95%" cannot be the truth anyway - since even Wikipedia lists a large number of completely empty floors.

In any case, the material in Darton's book written in 1999 informs us of two extremely interesting factts:

- After the 1993 bombings, 50,000 workers were displaced and 350 tenants were relocated outside the WTC.

- At the end of the nineties, " a stream of press releases announced the rental of unimaginably huge quantities of trade center office space."


So, this begs the question: Could they possibly have "VIRTUALLY re-populated" the WTC towers - with a string of phony press releases?

ABOUT THE "WTC TENANTS"

Antipodean,

That "Unblinking" page stinks to high heaven.
http://tbtf.com/unblinking/arc/2001-09a.htm

The whole idea that "NO-ONE-REALLY-KNOWS" exactly how many tenants or businesses operated within the WTC is preposterous - as if the WTC was some sort of Moroccan souk /market place... :rolleyes: The "Unblinking" people boast of being experts at searching the internet for info that mere mortals usually won't find...

Apparently, the smartass "Unblinking" folks got their tenant list from "the CoStar Group - The world leader for commercial real estate intelligence"
http://www.costar.com/about/article.aspx?id=4817

You've gotta love this disclaimer they have regarding their WTC tenant list:

Although CoStar makes efforts to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its information, CoStar makes no representation or warranty regarding the quality, accuracy, timeliness or completeness of such information. CoStar cannot guarantee that its tenant specific data is 100 percent accurate or complete, and errors and omissions do occur. Accordingly, CoStar is not responsible if its information is not accurate, complete or current, and CoStar has no responsibility for any consequence relating directly or indirectly to any action or inaction that you (or a third party) take based upon the tenant specific data presented here.

Also very much worth reading is the "Unblinking" site's discussion of how they 'solved the mystery' of finding (through BELL yellow-page searches..) about 20 companies seemingly renting space in the WTC in the same suite n?7967:

"MYSTERY SOLVED" (scroll down page a little)
http://tbtf.com/unblinking/arc/2001-09b.htm#1world

See, no mystery there, folks: they were all simply renting "VIRTUAL OFFICE SPACE" from the Alliance Business Centers Network ! Here's what they do:
http://virtualofficesdenver.com/index.cfm
One may well wonder...how many of the other "WTC tenants" were - likewise - 'virtually renting' office space in the WTC towers?

*******************************************************************

TENANT LIST OF WTC1 on WickedPedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_te ... ade_Center

TENANT LIST OF WTC2 on WickedPedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_te ... ade_Center

================

I then checked the link on the second box down, the Twin Towers Tenant List, which takes you to http://tbtf.com/unblinking/arc/2001-09a.htm As I browsed the list, something caught my eye and I made an almost immediate connection. There were several networks that may have had offices on the 110th floor of WTC1 on the morning of 9/11, yet I can't remember ever hearing any network ever say that they lost anyone on 9/11, which they must have, since I do remember hearing that no one escaped the building from above the impact zone. Here's the list of networks that may have had a presence in WTC1 on 9/11, taken from the Unblinking page:

Tenant Floor Year
Channel (WPIX) 110 2001
Channel 2 CBS (WCBS) 110 2001
Channel 31 (WBIS) 110 2001
Channel 4 NBC 104 2001
Channel 47 (WNJU) Telemundo Noticiero 110 2001
Channel 5 Fox (WNYW) 110 2001
CNN (Turner Broadcasting / Cable Network News) 110

The way I see it, news of some sort is being broadcast around the clock. We don't know what kind of offices these were, but my guess is that since they were directly under the large broadcasting tower on WTC1 (except for NBC), they may have had something to do with getting the signal out. Either way, since the news is always going out, someone must have been in the those offices, perhaps 'round the clock.

While we've been told that most people where "just arriving" or perhaps "on there way" to work at the WTC, I think that those news offices probably had lots of people in them because of the way news works. It's always happening somewhere and whether it's radio or tv, it's always being reported. And if no one above the impact area made it out alive, there could have been hundreds of people in the those offices at the time of the "first impact", yet never any mention by any one of those networks about the people they lost that day? No memorials? Nothing?

Yesterday, it got a little more interesting. I went back to the site above and clicked on the link 240 Phone Listings, which takes you here http://tbtf.com/unblinking/arc/2001-09b.htm Here we find out, again, if the info is accurate, that there was atleast one company who's sole purpose was to make it look like other companies occupied space in the WTC's. They set you up with addresses, phone numbers and the like, and now you are in the WTC, even though you aren't even renting office space.

So now you have to wonder, what companies were actually in the WTC and which ones were just pretending to be in the WTC? Could office space have been rented for companies by a third party, but was actually vacant, but wouldn't show up on a list of vacancies making it appear that the building were mostly "full"?

So, did the networks actually have offices on the 110th floor with people working in them? If they did, then who were they and why no mention of them on any memorials. Or were they fake offices with no one in them? Either way, there should be atleast one name on atleast one memorial of "someone" who "worked" at one of those networks who didn't make it out that day, real or vicsim. Or perahps like the BATF in Oklahoma City, were they told not to come to work that day?
=========
I used Simon's link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_te ... ade_Center, for the tenant list of WTC1 to see what "companies" had "offices" in the impact zone or above it. As you can see, 2 companies, Marsh USA and Cantor Fitzgerald "occupied" most of the floors I'm concetrating on. This is interesting since you'd only have to have these 2 companies in your pocket to "account" for almost all of the "causualties" in that area. I wonder what the chances are that the impact zone alone would only immediately effect ONE company.

Using that list, I went to the wiki page for the WTC, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center, and found that "The damage caused to the north tower by Flight 11 destroyed any means of escape from above the impact zone, trapping 1,344 people.[113]", which was gotten from, "# ^ Dwyer, Jim; Lipton, Eric et al. (May 26, 2002). "102 Minutes: Last Words at the Trade Center; Fighting to Live as the Towers Die". The New York Times. Archived from the original on October 10, 2008. http://www.webcitation.org/5bTftBx4s. Retrieved May 23, 2008. ".

So now I know how many "people" I'm looking for. I then went to Marsh's online memorial, http://memorial.mmc.com/, and added up all the names, which comes out to 332 vicsims, which is a little short of the figure on the wiki page noted above, which says they only lost 295 employees plus 60 contractors, which equals 355 total.

I then headed over to the Cantor-Fitzgerald memorial, http://www.cantorfamilies.com/cantor/jsp/index.jsp, added up all the names on there for a total of 347.

Next I did a search for victims who may have been in the Windows on the World restaurant complex, found another wiki page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_on_the_World, and got a total of 165 "people" who died.

I subtracted these figures from the 1344 total from the first wiki page, and got a number of 500. So who are these 500 vicsims?

I just found this here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNBC, "During the September 11, 2001, attacks, the transmitter facilities of WNBC, as well as eight other local television stations and several radio stations, were destroyed when two hijacked airplanes crashed into and destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City. WNBC broadcast engineer Bill Steckman died in the tragedy, along with six other engineers from other television stations. After resuming over-the-air transmissions, the station broadcast from the Armstrong Tower in Alpine, New Jersey. Since 2005, WNBC is broadcasting its signal from the Empire State Building in New York City.".

I also found this wiki page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPIX, which says, "On September 11, 2001, the transmitter facilities of WPIX as well as eight other New York City television stations and several radio stations were destroyed when two hijacked airplanes crashed into and destroyed the World Trade Center towers. The station's lead engineer, Steve Jacobson, was among those who were lost in the tragedy. WPIX's satellite feed froze on the last video frame received from the WTC mast, an image of the Twin Towers burning; the image remained on the screen for much of the day until WPIX was able to set up alternate transmission facilities (the microwave relay for WPIX's satellite feed was also up there). Since then, WPIX has transmitted its signal from the Empire State Building.".

It would appear that the rest of the "tenants" of the 110th floor of WTC1, in a word, weren't. There is either no mention of them having anything to with WTC, or they merely had a transmitter on the roof.

So now we have 2 names of people having something to do with broadcasting having died on 9/11, and a mention of 6 others. I guess they didn't have names or something. Even if we take the 2 names + 6 other engineers, which equals 8, we are left with a gaping hole of 492 missing names. Ofcourse, I don't know how anyone would know the exact number of people in or above the impact zone anyway, and this is assuming that anyone was in there to begin with. As we've seen with the vicsim list, we haven't been able to verify anyone.

Kevin MacDonald - "Jews, who want to be decent human beings, have to renounce being Jewish"

"Jews, who want to be decent human beings, have to renounce being Jewish"
By: Kevin MacDonald
Professor at California State University Long Beach
February 10, 2009
ENGLISH
(
French version below)

A topic that is not discussed enough is the screaming, in-your-face, hostile aggression that people must withstand when they dare to trample on Jewish sensibilities.
We are not talking about the sophisticated rationalization one sees in the op-ed pages of the mainstream media, or even the smear techniques of organizations like the ADL or the SPLC. We are talking about interpersonal aggression. There is something absolutely primal about it.
Now comes a refreshingly frank blog post by Karin Friedemann, an ethnically Jewish anti-Zionist. She notes the violent intolerance that defenders of Israel show towards people with different opinions.  
American Jews are actually being trained since childhood to interact with non-Jews in a deceitful and arrogant manner, in coordination with each other, to emotionally destroy non-Jews and Israel critics in addition to wrecking their careers and interfering with their social relationships. This is actually deliberate, wicked, planned behavior motivated by a narcissistic self-righteous fury. ...

The problem is that non-Jews are taught through emotional pressure and violence via the media and the school system to be very sensitive to Jewish suffering so when a Zionist becomes outraged at them for challenging their world view, the non-Jew really has to fight against his own inner self in a huge battle against his "inner Jew" making him feel inadequate and intimidated. But the Jew doesn't care how much he or she hurts others. Jews only care about what's good for the Jews. ...

I once reduced a 50 year old man to hysterical sobbing tears because I told him gently and lovingly that Jews were not that unique. I just told him the Jews, like everyone else, have had good times and bad times. Times when they were slaughtered and other times when they slaughtered others. Just like everyone else. Guess what he did next. He emotionally abused me in an insulting way and then cut off all further communication. Jewish behavior is so predictable that it's truly scary.  ...

If you mention cutting off the money or if you mention the possible compromise of living with Palestinians as equals in one state they become very angry and start using bullying tactics, unless they have some reason to fear you, in which case they shun you and complain about you to the authorities, try to get you arrested or try and destroy your career or social status through character assassination.  ...

Zionists all believe in the myth of "1000 years of Jewish suffering" and feel that the world owes them compensation for their ancestors' "unique" suffering. It's a criminally insane viewpoint. They cope with the contradictions between their belief that they are the good guys and what Jews are actually doing to their neighbors, both in the Middle East and in the US, by developing mental health issues. Most Zionists are functional schizophrenics.

My take:

- These tactics are not restricted to critics of Zionism. As one who has experienced a barrage of hostile email from my faculty colleagues, I can certainly attest to this. A correspondent sent me the following recently:
I have encountered many liberal, politically correct Jews who react vociferously (almost violently) to the most innocuous comments about any topic related to Israel or Jews. One Jew upon my mentioning that my wife and I had been to Russia spent several minutes virtually frothing at the mouth about Russians.  Another upon hearing me say I was sympathetic to the problems of the Palestinians demanded to know who I was and how dare I say such a thing. Often zero tolerance for any difference in opinion.
- The media constantly present images of Jewish suffering"most recently the endless glut of Holocaust movies. But the media ignore instances, such as the early decades of the USSR and now in Greater Israel, where Jews have inflicted horrible suffering. Right now I am reading E. Michael Jones' The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Effect on History. It is striking to read his account of Jewish violence against non-Jews in the ancient world, particularly the persecution of Christians whenever Jews had the power to do so.

Long before Christians had any influence on Roman policy, Christians' complaints about Jews were not stereotypes based on historical memory but resulted from direct experience with Jews: "Origen understood that Jewish calumny helped to cause Christian persecution, and that Jewish hatred was a fact of life for the Christians, continuing unabated after the repeated defeats of Messianic politics" (i.e., the defeats of Jewish rebels at the hands of the Romans in 70 and 135 ad) (p. 69). This is the basis of my concern on what will happen to whites when Jews become part of a hostile elite in white-minority America.

- Non-Jews absorb these media images and as a result feel inadequate, emotionally intimidated. Eventually they identify with the aggressor, much like a browbeaten hostage or, as Friedemann suggests, an abused spouse. Or they maintain their friendships but studiously avoid talking about anything related to Israel. Non-Jews do the bidding of their inner Jew because they have internalized images of Jewish suffering. They therefore aid and abet Jewish brutality and aggression.

Non-Jews who persist in criticizing the organized Jewish community are threatened with loss of livelihood and social ostracism. As I noted in a previous article the organized Jewish community does not believe in free speech. It is important to keep in mind that when Jews were dominant in the first decades of the Soviet Union, the government controlled the media, anti-Semitism was outlawed, and there was mass murder of Christians and the destruction of Christian churches and religious institutions. 

As Friedemann notes, the situation is nothing less than a sign of serious mental health issues for the mainstream Jewish community: "Most Zionists are functional schizophrenics."

I think this is what happens when people who deal with Jewish issues finally realize that there is no hope for dialogue and begin to think of what to do next. Honest people finally realize that when it comes to critical issues like Israel and multicultural America, the divisions among Jews are an illusion. (Friedemann herself has renounced her Jewish identity.) As Friedemann's husband, Joachim Martillo, notes, "Jews, who want to be decent human beings, have no choice but to renounce being Jewish and serve the anti-Zionist struggle (right now)."

Exhibit A for this right now is the murderous Israeli invasion of Gaza. We know (see, for example, John Mearsheimer' s article in The American Conservative) that this invasion occurred after a prolonged period when Israel restricted supplies into Gaza and then attacked tunnels between Gaza and Egypt. We know that the invasion was designed to "to inflict massive pain on the Palestinians so that they come to accept the fact that they are a defeated people and that Israel will be largely responsible for controlling their future."

The tone of Mearsheimer's article suggests a dramatic shift in attitude where the usual inhibitions on public discourse are finally beginning to fall, even for a respected academic:  
There is ... little chance that people around the world who follow the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will soon forget the appalling punishment that Israel is meting out in Gaza.  ... [D]iscourse about this longstanding conflict has undergone a sea change in the West in recent years, and many of us who were once wholly sympathetic to Israel now see that the Israelis are the victimizers and the Palestinians are the victims.
The gloves are coming off. This is what happens when smart and honest people who work hard to get the scholarship right are nevertheless smeared as anti-Semites guilty of the vilest misdeeds. Not surprisingly, Abe Foxman - a premier defender of the racial Zionist status quo in Israel - devoted an entire book to smearing Mearsheimer and Walt. Quite simply, there is no point to talking to such people or taking seriously what they say about us.

We know that the government of Israel is firmly in the hands of the racial Zionists " followers of Vladimir Jabotinsky and his view of the racial distinctiveness and superiority of the Jewish people. Indeed, the only question in the Israeli election is which brand of racial Zionism will form the next government.

One knows that racial Zionism has completely won the day in Israel when Kadima - the party of Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert, Tzipi Livni and the Gaza invasion - is now described by Benjamin Netanyahu as the party of the left. (The LA Times dutifully calls it "centrist" but, as Israeli peace activist Uri Avnery writes, Livni "cries to high heaven against any dialogue with Hamas. She objects to a mutually agreed cease-fire. She tries to compete with Netanyahu and [Avignor] Liberman with unbridled nationalist messages.") Indeed, Netanyahu's only worry is that the openly racist Liberman " a disciple of the notorious Meir Kehane - will take away too many votes from Likud.

The situation is analogous to a US election where Pat Buchanan is the candidate of the far left. (I can dream.)

Avnery analogizes the election to a joke where a sergeant tells his men: "I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you are going to change your dirty socks. The bad news is that you are going to exchange them among yourselves." 

Once again we see at work the general principle that within the Jewish community, the most extreme elements carry the day and pull the rest of the Jewish community with them. As I noted in "Zionism and the Internal Dynamics of Judaism," "over time, the more militant, expansionist Zionists (the Jabotinskyists, the Likud Party, fundamentalists, and West Bank settlers) have won the day and have continued to push for territorial expansion within Israel. This has led to conflicts with Palestinians and a widespread belief among Jews that Israel itself is threatened. The result has been a heightened group consciousness among Jews and ultimately support for Zionist extremism among the entire organized American Jewish community."

The fanatics keep pushing the envelop, forcing other Jews to either go along with their agenda or cease being part of the Jewish community. Ominously, if elected, Netanyahu promises that a top priority will be "harnessing the U.S. administration to stop the threat" of Iran's nuclear program.

Incidentally, E. Michael Jones (The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Effect on History, p. 42ff) has expanded this argument to the ancient world. He shows how the Jewish community was pulled in the direction of fanaticism by the Zealots  who expelled the followers of Jesus from the synagogue and adopted a disastrous path of revolution against Rome, leading ultimately to the defeats of 70 and 135 a.d.

A good example of the schizophrenia described by Friedemann comes from the fact that around 80% of American Jews voted for Obama but around the same percentage blames Hamas for the escalation of violence and believes that the Israeli response was "appropriate". These results of the poll on the Gaza invasion were proudly announced by Abraham Foxman of the ADL, an organization that is one of the principal forces in promoting a post-European America. The Jewish left is a pillar of multi-cultural America but strongly supports racial Zionism in Israel.

This same schizophrenia was on display at a recent presentation at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles by Chris Hedges and Mark Potok - he of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The program dealt with the usual bogey-men of the organized Jewish community: Christian fundamentalists, skinheads, David Duke, and (I am gratified to report) The Occidental Quarterly.

In a comment on the alliance between Christian conservatives and Zionists, an audience member mentioned (to stifled applause) that "There are Jewish fascists." But the moderator, Ian Masters, saved the day when he stated that "the vast majority of American Jews are secular and liberal" - a comment that brought much applause, presumably because it reassured the many Jews in the audience that they weren't like THOSE Jews. For his part, Potok, that stalwart warrior against white America, expressed his support for what he sees as a beleaguered Israel on the verge of apocalypse at the hands of the Arabs.  Schizophrenia indeed.

The politicians who are running Israel are, if anything, more racialist and nationalist than anything even remotely on the horizon in American or European politics. As Avnery notes:
In every other country, Liberman's program would be called fascist, without quotation marks. Nowhere in the Western world is there a large party that would dare to advance such a demand [to annul the citizenship of Arabs]. The neo-fascists in Switzerland and Holland want to expel foreigners, not to annul the citizenship of the native-born. ...

When Joerg Haider was taken into the Austrian cabinet, Israel recalled its ambassador from Vienna in protest. But compared to Liberman, Haider was a raving liberal, and so is Jean-Marie le Pen.  Now Netanyahu has announced that Liberman will be an important minister in his government, Livni has hinted that he will be in her government, too, and Barak has not excluded that possibility.

The optimistic version says that Liberman will prove to be a passing curiosity.  ... There is also a pessimistic version: Fascism has become a serious player in the Israeli public domain. The three main parties have now legitimized it. This phenomenon must be stopped before it is too late.
So I have a suggestion for the Foxmans, the Potoks, the neoconservatives, and the secular Jewish liberals of the world: If you want to fight racism and ethnic nationalism, start in your own backyard. And my suggestion for the rest of us is to get rid of what Friedemann calls the "inner Jew". I know it's hard to do. But once you tune out the screaming hostility (and assuming you don't fear losing your job), it's easy. Just don't expect a pleasant or rational conversation.

911 - Was the First Atomic Bomb [in modern times] Exploded on an American Town by the American Govt?

Was the First Atomic Bomb [in modern times] Exploded on an American Town by the American Govt?

Book Review: "The Last Wave From Port Chicago" by Peter Vogel

by The Anonymous Physicist


Vogel’s book is freely downloadable here. http://www.portchicago.org/

Port Chicago was a WWII munitions port about 35 miles northwest of San Francisco, traversed through various waterways. The massive explosion that occurred there, at 10:19 P.M. on July 17, 1944 has been the subject of debate ever since. Wikipedia has this summary of the superficial info: “The Port Chicago disaster was a deadly explosion that took place on July 17, 1944 at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in Port Chicago, California ... killing 320 sailors and civilians, and injuring more than 400 others. Most of the dead and injured were African American recruits, and the continuing unsafe conditions even after the disaster resulted in a number of servicemen refusing to work, known as the Port Chicago Mutiny, a month later ... Two hundred and eight sailors were convicted in summary courts-martial, and received bad conduct discharges. The remaining 50 men, known today as The Port Chicago 50, were found guilty of mutiny in a subsequent court martial, and were sentenced to dishonorable discharges and prison sentences of 8 and 15 years of hard labor... Thurgood Marshall sued the Navy on behalf of the 50 sailors. Although he was unable to get the convictions overturned, Marshall succeeded in winning clemency for the 50 sailors, but not until after the war in 1946.”

In The Last Wave From Port Chicago, author Peter Vogel, details his over 20-year quest to prove that the Port Chicago explosion was a nuclear one. The book attempts to show that Port Chicago was the one and only “proof firing/test” of the Mark II [Uranium Hydride Autocatalytic Lateral Implosion] atomic bomb. Vogel starts off his tale with his own history of being a rebel and being anti-establishment, and even being arrested at a protest rally for assaulting a policeman. He then became a reporter at the “San Francisco Chronicle”, and subsequently an editor for “Electronics” magazine. At the latter, he wrote, or edited, at least one piece on electronic component reliability in ICBMs shot into the Van Allen Radiation belts! Vogel ends up in 1980 in New Mexico, appointed by Governor King to be Secretary of the Board of Directors of NMERDI--the New Mexico Energy Research and Development Institute. He writes that Gov. King liked him so much, that he appointed him to be an honorary Colonel in the NM National Guard.

This is how Vogel ended up in New Mexico where, for 25 cents, in 1980, at a Santa Fe Church rummage sale, he purchased a box of donated tools that had in its bottom, a photocopy of a remarkable document. The document was titled “History of 10,000 ton gadget.” [Gadget was code for the fission bomb.] It included information on “fireball,” “detonation,’ and “radiation.” Vogel traced the document to Paul Masters, who worked at Los Alamos, during the Manhattan Project. Masters was involved with photography and copying. Masters had apparently copied this secret document, and taken it home with him, in his “shirt pocket.” The penalty for doing this was quite severe, and gives pause. Curious also, is the fact that Masters’ wife, Charlie, was in “counterespionage,” and “connected” to the Secret Service! Vogel reads the document and begins researching the Port Chicago explosion, and related Los Alamos matters.

One of the first people he interviewed, at Los Alamos, was Dr. Edward Teller. Vogel had actually taken a course from Teller in California years earlier. Teller, of course, is notorious as the right-wing “father of the H-Bomb.” Except that that claim is false. (See the book, “Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb” by Richard Rhodes, read here.) Teller was also involved in the so-called SDI or “Star Wars” development of shooting down missiles, high above the Earth. Vogel arranges to meet Teller at Los Alamos--and lies and says the interview will be about the energy crisis--and photographs him, after he surprised Teller with the “History of 10,000 ton gadget” document. This photo shows Teller looking at the document. Teller stops and tells Vogel, “I believe you have a classified document. You should take it immediately to the Classification Office. I will deny I have ever seen this document. I will deny I have ever discussed Port Chicago with you.” The two go off to that office with the document, but Vogel keeps a copy, of the classified document.

Shortly after this, as Vogel begins his in-depth research into the possible, deliberate nuking of Port Chicago, by the American gov’t, an important Los Alamos report on Port Chicago gets re-classified, after it had been de-classified. Nonetheless, there is a massive store of documents on Port Chicago at Los Alamos. Officially Port Chicago could not be a nuclear explosion, in part, because there was not enough Uranium-235 [U-235] available for this in July, 1944. Vogel attempts to show that this is incorrect, and that every book saying this is wrong. He takes particular aim at Richard Rhodes’ Pulitzer Prize winning book, “The Making of the Atomic Bomb.” (Read here.) Vogel shows numerous errors of commission and omission, and says the book must have won its awards for its mass, not its veracity. Vogel writes that he is told, by physicists, to help prove his case, he should ascertain the amount of U-235 that was available at the time of the Port Chicago blast. This too remains classified, even though this is now six decades later. The book thus has numerous chapters and appendices related to the amount of U-235 the Govt’s labs had produced at different times. Curiously again, Vogel gets two Los Alamos Manhattan Project scientists to tell him the answers to this question. They tell him that there was enough U-235 in July, 1944 for the Port Chicago blast--even though this information is classified, and has serious penalties for Manhattan project scientists to reveal to anyone. (Assuming those scientists’ responses were truthful.)

Let me now summarize the findings of this book, and articles by Vogel and others that try to prove that the Port Chicago explosion was a nuclear one, as opposed to an explosion of the munitions at the pier, or on board the two ships (the SS E.A. Bryan and the SS Quinault Victory,) in the water near the pier at Port Chicago. The explosion was massive--the pier was leveled and much of the nearby town was also--and had a large white fireball visible for several hundred miles. People for over 20 miles reported seeing a bright white light as bright as several Suns. Reports state that the column of flame rose to approx. 10,000 feet before the night sky prevented observation of any further rising. The flame from the Trinity test, a year later, also rose to that altitude, with its subsequent mushroom cloud rising to nearly twice that height. The resultant cloud at Port Chicago was described as being a “mushroom cloud”--the first time that term was used in public discourse in the English language. The document Vogel found which was written after Port Chicago, but before Trinity, correctly predicted the 18,000-foot altitude of the Trinity mushroom cloud “in typical Port Chicago fashion.” Vogel shows these things did not occur in other huge munition ship explosions, that he details in the book. All seismograms were immediately seized, and not allowed to be published for several years. Were they re-done, as I have asserted the WTC seismic recordings were? Eyewitnesses said some of the many missiles that flew to great distances were of various colors indicating they were in a molten state due to what we lately call “extraordinarily high temperatures.” The official report itself says many missiles were molten. The Navy was even there across the pier making a film of the explosion. This was revealed some years later when they began showing a nuclear explosion that some recognized as being of Port Chicago. The military then said this was not an actual film, but was “special effects” [sound familiar?] created much later. Others examined the film itself, and proved that this was false, as the film was made of nitrate that was used in 1944, but was no longer used because of its own flammable nature.

Of particular importance is the following: 1. Reports from Los Alamos, and other places, about subsequent fission bomb detonations contain the phrase, “in Port Chicago fashion,” when referring to the rising mushroom cloud or fireball. Even when the British regime exploded its first atomic bomb, in 1952, off the coast of Australia, their report stated, the bomb was placed in a forward hold of the HMS Plym and detonated "Port Chicago style." 2. Crucially, before the Port Chicago explosion, there are Los Alamos reports (at the highest levels--Dr. Conant and General Grove) on the need for a test/proof firing of the Mark II nuclear device--before further development or use of this type of A-bomb. But just after the Port Chicago explosion, Los Alamos reports (between the same top people) state that this is no longer necessary, and that they can go on to other things. 3. Los Alamos scientists were immediately sent to Port Chicago, and the Navy’s three man Court of Inquiry on the matter, which began a few days later, included the brother-in-law (Capt. J.S. Crenshaw) of one of the top Los Alamos people, Captain Parsons. Parsons would fly in the Enola Gay to arm the Bomb before its dropping on Hiroshima. 4. At the time of the Port Chicago blast, Los Alamos physicists thought the bomb to be used on Japan would be too heavy for airborne use, and therefore had to be taken in by ship. 5. There was a massive 800-foot diameter crater created under the S.S. Bryan.

Out of 320 dead, only 81 bodies were recovered. Out of these 81, only 30 bodies could be identified. However, we cannot assume any vaporization of people, as these figures could possibly result from conventional explosions in ships. The long lasting effects of the Port Chicago blast are also telling. In 1968, the federal govt bought up all the buildings in Port Chicago, and demolished them, and later erected a monument. There has been a high cancer incidence in Contra Costa County, CA for the last several decades.

Curiously, Vogel did not suffer a strange car accident, nor surprise heart attack, nor rapid cancer, nor was he brutally assaulted nor had his home contaminated with a very toxic form of mercury, as was done to me, for just once speaking out on how SS agent Greer shot both Connally and Kennedy. Vogel meets with many Los Alamos scientists and tells each one that he is researching Port Chicago, and that he is trying to prove that the U.S. Govt deliberately nuked this American pier and town, and suffers no harmful consequences for this. There is much else in the book that gives me pause. Much else seems to be establishment dogma. There is the omission of what the Ottawa agreement really was about (British control of American nukes), standard nonsense about Osama bin Laden is thrown in, immense praise for one of the members of NMERDI, Dean McGee, Chairman of Kerr McGee. I have written of the jury verdict against Kerr McGee in the Plutonium poisoning and car ramming murder of Karen Silkwood. There is an establishment view on many things in the book, even saying there was a need to nuke an American town, and American sailors, to “save 100,000 American lives” in the invasion of Japan. When the truth is that Japan had tried to surrender for months prior to Hiroshima. Some of the reports on Port Chicago at Los Alamos, and other Los Alamos reports, show one parameter the Manhattan Project was always concerned with, was destruction of “dwelling houses.” So the mass murder of innocent civilians was always the goal.

Recently I have seen what is likely an intel Hangout regarding Port Chicago. Now it is claimed, by some, that Port Chicago was indeed a nuclear explosion, but it was an accident! All sorts of specious arguments are used. But the history of American nuclear bombs is that, from the outset, various fail-safe mechanisms were employed that made it virtually impossible for an accidental explosion to occur. If the SS E.A. Bryan held an atomic bomb in its hull, it would not have been armed until it was ready to be “proof/test fired” and also studied and filmed at its “anointed place.”

A related matter is that I have read another book on some of these matters that has a very different take on them. This book is "Critical Mass: How Nazi Germany Surrendered Enriched Uranium for The United States' Atomic Bomb" by Carter Plymton Hydrick. It may not be readily available, but is highly recommended here. It demonstrates that both the fissile material, and even the advanced detonator mechanism used on Hiroshima were of German origin, and taken from the submarine that officially was intercepted on its way to Japan, which had set sail near the end of Hitler’s reign. I thought the book did a good job of demonstrating its hypotheses. Now the regime’s intel assets have gone crazy both in regards to Hydrick’s book and Vogel’s. (See the use of foul ridicule that would be recognized, even here, as coming from intel entities.) But here you can read how some of the strongest critics of “Critical Mass” changed their minds when presented with the evidence. I have a different take than Hydrick on this, going to my Ultimate Truths here: http://anonymous-physicist.blogspot.com.

If the Atomic Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki had German fissile material and advanced detonators, this wasn’t by accident that this came into the hands of the Manhattan Project people. Rather the PTB intended this destination for these materials, and not Japan. Similarly, the Uranium for the Port Chicago blast may have been delivered from Germany, or elsewhere in 1944, as well. This could be the reason that the American Govt won’t release its 1943-45 Uranium production amounts still, over 60 years later! And the PTB do not want the People to know how they controlled WWII for that purpose--creating nuclear bombs for use on Humanity; and the different “sides” of that war, and all wars, have been a ruse. “Critical Mass” also reveals some strangeness regarding the physicist given credit for the advanced detonators that also had been a great stumbling block to implosion fission devices. This was Luis Alvarez, PhD. Decades later, this Alvarez (who would also receive a Nobel Prize) would write some impossible Physics that President Kennedy’s body could be slammed backward against the incoming momentum of a bullet fired from behind him. Alvarez wrote this claptrap, and got it published in a Physics Journal--shades of Bazant and Seffen--after the Zapruder film was first publicly shown in 1975. It’s a violation of the fundamental Law of Conservation of Momentum. Before this, the regime/media just lied and said Kennedy’s body went forward in the limo. So Hydrick’s book and Vogel’s book are similar, but different. Unlike Hydrick’s book, Vogel’s ignores the issue of the detonation difficulties that also held up testing and use of fission bombs, and asserts that there was enough fissile material (U-235) by July 1944, let alone August 1945. I recommend people read both, and make up their own minds.

Vogel shows that the Hiroshima nuke used only 1.14% of its contained fissile material--the rest of the U235 did not undergo fission--due to the geometry and Physics of the implosion/explosion. Thus its efficiency is about 1%. The Port Chicago type A-Bomb had even less efficiency--about 0.5%. More recently, 6% efficiency for updated nuclear bombs is cited. This will be important in another (upcoming) article.

My conclusion is that there is much circumstantial evidence that the Port Chicago explosion was a nuclear fission explosion that was deliberately perpetrated by the U.S. regime. One could argue that circumstantial evidence is not proof, but trials have resulted in murder convictions based solely on circumstantial evidence. But one could say that there is no absolute proof, unless that film is of the Port Chicago nuking. Or unless some Los Alamos scientists who know the truth, would come forward. Of course, if they did, they could face charges of releasing secret information on the one hand. And on the other hand, they could (if the People ever got control of the regime again) face charges of Mass Murder, Treason, Conspiracy, maybe even genocide of a race, as the use of Afro-Americans, and removing the white Coast Guard detail that night is also telling. So we are not likely to get a confession from the perps.

Peter Vogel’s "The Last Wave From Port Chicago" presents much evidence that the July 17, 1944 Port Chicago explosion was a deliberate nuking of our own citizens, and sailors, and an American town and pier, by our own government. It should be read by all. It also fits in with the evidence that the WTC destruction on 9/11/01, was the deliberate nuking of America’s largest city by its own regime, and that the China Syndrome resulted, as detailed here http://wtcdemolition.blogspot.com and here wtc-chinasyndrome.blogspot.com.

But going beyond this level, I consider it a strong possibility that the PTB wanted the deliberate nuking of Port Chicago to get out! While they deny it officially for the masses, they want others to know. There is too much “coincidence” here. Vogel’s early anti-establishment, and so much later recitation of establishment dogma, the finding of the document, the strangeness of its owner and his “secret service, counterespionage” wife. The lack of prevention/retribution rained down on Vogel. The two scientists who told him there was sufficient Uranium--IF that is true. We have both too many coincidences, and also many people who could have, and maybe still could, face severe penalties for their parts in this. Would anyone but a spy--or someone starting this “revelation” want to photocopy a top-secret document, and then take it home, and face severe penalties? The document would be available from then on, at such time as the PTB would want to promulgate it. Likewise for the scientists who faced severe penalties for revealing Uranium-235 production amounts. They were not arrested or harmed. But all these “coincidences” in Vogel’s tale may be genuine.

Finally, in light of the distinctions of the two above books in regards to available amounts of fissile material and advanced detonators, I can not know for sure which is right. But this is not the main issue. Regardless of whether the Uranium-235, or the detonators, in a nuclear bomb at Port Chicago came from an American lab, or a German lab, or elsewhere, the evidence itself reveals that it is very probable that the American and British regimes ordered the nuking of Port Chicago, in furtherance of its plans for more massive nukings on other civilians in Japan, and so on.

Did the perps, still at Los Alamos, and Lawrence Livermore observe the nuking of the WTC on 9/11, and say that the rising smoke, photographed going up into space, was in ... “Port Chicago fashion”?

911 - Hanging Skin and Nuclear Blasts

Hanging Skin and Nuclear Blasts

Another remarkable finding from Anonymous Physicist-- the hanging skin of 9/11 casualty Felipe David is a striking piece of evidence indicating a nuclear blast in the basement of the WTC.

Where in the World is Felipe David-- and Did He Survive Exposure to Nuclear Radiation?

By The Anonymous Physicist


Assuming the following tale is not completely psyops, then on 9/11, Felipe David, employed by Aramark Corp., was checking or replenishing vending machines in one of the basement levels of WTC1. (Curiously Aramark Corp has Thomas Kean—Chairman of the 9/11 Commission--as one of its Board Directors since 1994.)

The following is supposedly Felipe David’s account of what happened beginning just before the first plane “hit.” "That day I was in the basement in sub-level 1 sometime after 8:30am. Everything happened so fast, everything moved so fast. The building started shaking after I heard the explosion below, dust was flying everywhere and all of a sudden it got real hot. I threw myself onto the floor, covered my face because I felt like I was burned. I sat there for a couple of seconds on the floor and felt like I was going to die, saying to myself 'God, please give me strength.'

"When I went in, I told them it was an explosion," said David, who was then helped out of the WTC by Rodriguez and eventually taken by ambulance to New York Hospital. "When people looked at me with my skin hanging, they started crying but I heard others say 'OK, good, good, you made it alive. [This ends the extract from the first URL above.]

Now I would like people to note that nowhere in the above quote, allegedly direct from Mr. David, does he mention fire. He states that he felt and heard explosion(s), and then “it got real hot.” He never says he saw any fire. This may be crucial. However when you read of his story through the words of William Rodriguez, “fire” is added into the story. "He had been standing in front of a freight elevator on sub-level 1 about 400 feet from the office when fire burst out of the elevator shaft, causing his injuries."

Reports, as we shall see, differ greatly as to how he got to the vicinity of other workers for help, including keymaster William Rodriguez, of whom we have already seen much “coincidence” and strangeness. We have the “most official” story (always the one to be most wary of for those in the know) that he staggered into Rodriguez’ office or area, and Rodriguez helped him outside, and into an ambulance. Some earlier reports even stated that Rodriguez carried Mr. David. The following site no longer works, but I copied the following from google: “Rodriguez carried Felipe David out of the building and re-entered it to rescue two men trapped on the elevator who were in danger of ... ”

But this Christian organization’s website quotes Mr David saying he ran six blocks for help! "I asked God to give me strength. And I was able to get up and run six blocks to find an exit," Mr. David says. Then we have this remarkable TV interview that morning with Kenny Johannemann. Mr. Johannemann states that he was the one who helped David, “I dragged a guy off. His skin was hanging. I helped him into an ambulance” Note that there is no mention of Rodriguez. Wise individuals have suggested that perhaps no one interviewed on TV on 9/11 was genuine. Notice how the camera angle changes and zooms in on him, just as he is asked about “terrorism.” The regime had long range plans, and a carefully crafted script. Note how Johannemann’s arms flail just like another 9/11 witness that morning who has been shown to be bogus. He, of course, could be telling the truth (and each of you will have to draw your own conclusions), but I cannot find anything on him in recent years.

So we have at least four accounts as follows:
Rodriquez helped David to an ambulance.
Rodriquez carried David to an ambulance.
Johannemann helped David to an ambulance.
David ran six blocks to an ambulance.

Of course, in the shock and excitement of such events, we know that accounts can differ, and we cannot make any definitive conclusions in this regard.

Now, let us return to Felipe David’s “hanging skin.” What caused this? It is always possible that some conventional fire or explosives caused his burns and the hanging skin on his face and arms. But we saw that David himself did not mention “fire.” So we may conclude that it wasn’t any direct fire that caused this. A conventional explosive blast could have done this. But this too may not be so likely, as such blasts may be expected to cause different types of wounds deep into the face and arms. But that is still a possibility, as is a fire that he just didn’t see.

That brings us to one possible cause of his hanging skin, that indeed he couldn’t possibly have seen! That is radiation from a mini-nuke, which may have just exploded, at that time, in one of the sub-basement levels. One is not capable of seeing the radiation (gamma rays, neutrons) emitted by a nuclear blast. One will just feel the heat, then pain and then the skin will be damaged, and may either be vaporized, charred or hanging—depending on the flux intensity (distance, wavelength/type of the radiation etc. are factors here). This eyewitness account on the survivors of the Hiroshima nuclear attack describes how common was damaged, hanging skin amongst them. (You can use your “find” function and search on “hanging.”)

I assert my following interpretation of Mr. David’s words is the most likely account of what happened to Mr. David. He hears and feels explosion(s). He doesn’t see any fire coming at him, but is surprised to feel great heat on his skin, and goes to the floor. He then is further shocked to feel and see his skin burned and hanging. All this is very much like what the burn victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki reported.

Now radiation exposure to the skin should result in significant swelling. But we have no photos or videos of Mr. David, until this Youtube video (in Spanish) allegedly three months later, when Mr. Rodriguez visits Mr. David. David’s face does look (still?) a bit swollen, but not much. But this is allegedly three months later, without any allowed record of what his face, arms and legs looked like until that point in time. Why do we not have any photos or video of Mr David until that point in time? Could he have had massive skin swelling, beginning almost immediately after his skin was damaged by “something,” possibly radiation from a nuclear blast? Could they have only trotted Mr. David out after his swelling had come down to a “normal” level?

Finally I note that there seems to be nothing in the public record on Felipe David for the last five years or so! Even though he “too” could be regarded as a “hero.” Why do we not know where he is, and his status? Hopefully Felipe David is OK. Hopefully he did not get cancer, or other medical problems, or suffer a strange “accident.” Hopefully truly independent researchers will find him, and get his story direct from him, when he wouldn’t be surrounded by any public media, or “handlers” from the government, or any other interference. With the dearth of information forced upon us, we may ask: Where in the world is Felipe David? What has he been doing these last five years or so?

And is Felipe David the (only?) radiation survivor of a mini-nuke at the World Trade Center on 9/11? Does he share a kindred experience with those who were in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in those early days of August 1945 that marked the dawn of a new, horrible age? We must recognize that just like the World Trade Center on 9/11, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were also called…Ground Zero.

911 - China Syndrome

China Syndrome

The “China Syndrome” Came to New York City on 9/11
By The Anonymous Physicist

Some people may not have not fully grasped the significance, and necessity, of my hypothesis on heat generating criticality sites at the WTC after 9/11. Some shills have actually, and laughably, attempted to claim thermite could have been been responsible for these high temperatures and molten steel.

Any attempt to have a complete theory of 9/11 must include the WTC demolition on 9/11 itself, and crucially its aftermath of the great hotpsots and molten steel, up to five months afterwards. The latter being supported by irrefutable, numerous eyewitnesses, and photographs and at least one AVIRIS overflight temperature data set. (With the second, long-delayed release of overflight data likely being bogus, as claimed here.) It is risible that a shill physicist claims this photo, of a crane lifting molten steel weeks after 9/11, as “proof” of thermite use on 9/11. Now while thermite, or other conventional explosive, may have been used in some subsidiary capacity on 9/11, my earlier articles have highlighted how only mini-nukes could have accounted for all the phenomena of the 9/11 WTC demolitions. It is not unexpected, but still sickening, to see how a shill physicist has claimed that the molten steel weeks after 9/11 “proves” thermite alone brought down the WTC towers. He HAS to claim that, for he knows well that the real source of this molten steel, weeks later, is nuclear reactions.

I have stated that only nuclear criticality sites could be the source of heat GENERATION weeks, and months after 9/11. You can find, say on Youtube, numerous videos of thermite being used to melt things, yes, including metal— but no vaporization. Note that the thermite is not being used as an explosive when it is seen melting through a car, e.g. But some of those videos clearly show that after just a few minutes, the molten thermite residue cools off and no longer glows. It is highly likely that any thermite at the WTC on 9/11 would have cooled off within hours. Indeed, I have stated that even the momentary maximum temperature of a nuke’s hypocenter (up to 100 million degrees), is known to cool off relatively quickly. You can ascertain this rapid cooling off in regards to the Trinity Site, or Hiroshima or Nagasaki, or even H-Bomb test sites. The temperatures returned to normal at all these sites relatively quickly.

Now some claim that oxygen starved fires could allow for vastly longer high temperature fires underground at the WTC. These people don’t seem to realize they have just proven the case ONLY for nuclear chain reactions!! Because only nuclear chain reactions release massive heat almost indefinitely, without needing ANY oxygen whatsoever! This is not the case for any conventional (non-nuclear) fire. This “indefinite” massive heat source was the basis for the term “China Syndrome” in regards to a nuclear reactor mishap which, in theory (but not really due to other factors), could have massive indefinite heat leading to a nuclear reactor criticality (core) remnant burning all the way through to China.

This remarkable article on Chernobyl actually states that the China Syndrome occurred at Chernobyl. It says, “‘China Syndrome’ of meltdown had taken place inside the reactor core. Thermal explosion and outbreak of fires in over thirty places were due to high-temperature and falling uranium core fragments on to the roofs of adjacent buildings.” So here we see learn that the nuclear core had exploded into many pieces of— apparently still critically reacting uranium fragments--with their concomitant high temperatures. But this is just the kind of thing I cited in my WTC 9/11 nuclear demolition hypothesis of nukes exploding either other unexploded mini-nukes, or nukes exploding the reactors in the Nuclear Borers.

So perhaps my previous term, “criticality sites” regarding the source of high temperatures and molten steel, weeks and months after 9/11 is too vague. Instead I propose that from now on we think of this aftermath of molten steel, weeks and months after 9/11 as… “The China Syndrome came to New York City on 9/11.”

911 - If the WTC Nuclear Destruction Had the China Syndrome Aftermath, Why Didn’t Hiroshima?

If the WTC Nuclear Destruction Had the China Syndrome Aftermath, Why Didn’t Hiroshima?

by The Anonymous Physicist

The extensive evidence that the World Trade Center area “suffered” from great heat in the rubble pile and beneath the towers, from heat generated by the China Syndrome is here. But if my nuclear fission hypothesis for the destruction of the WTC is correct, why didn’t the fission bomb that destroyed Hiroshima have a known China Syndrome there?

The reason is that there are numerous differences between the two events. My “many nukes” hypothesis for WTC destruction contains the concepts of redundant nukes, fratricided and fizzled nukes. Please read the above archived articles to understand just what attempting to explode many small nukes in the enclosed buildings entails, and even my hypothesis that the early explosions in WTC7 likely were fizzled micro-nukes. Now for some specific, relevant differences. Hiroshima was just one fission nuclear bomb, not many as with the WTC. Redundant, fratricided and fizzled nukes are not relevant to the events of Hiroshima, unlike the WTC. Finally, Hiroshima did not have a China Syndrome Aftermath because the A-bomb went off at an altitude of about 1800 feet, and IN OPEN AIR-- NOT IN THE CENTERS OF BUILDINGS NOR THEIR BASEMENTS.

The Hiroshima nuke was, of course, much larger than the sum of the numerous micro-nukes employed to destroy the WTC. As I have detailed, a fission nuke uses up only some 1-6% of its fissile material in its chain reactions before the remainder is blown apart from the heat and pressure resulting from the chain reactions. The 80 generations of fission chain reaction take but a total of one microsecond before the bomb’s contents themselves are blown apart. In the open air, much of the micro-fragments of the remainder 94-99% of the fissile material (Uranium-235) were in the fireball, and much of this rose further with the fireball. But these heavy Uranium atoms fell back down. Some dispersed into the upper atmosphere, and would come down around the world. (Note that no Gov’t has released atmospheric radiation data in the days after 9/11/01--this is perhaps both telling [of the worldwide collusion of regimes] and sad.) At Hiroshima, they came down in notorious fashion. Much of the remaining Uranium fissioning atoms came down 30 minutes later in the so-called “Black Rain.” Many more people may have died because they suffered desperate thirst from their dehydrated condition in part from damaged, melted, hanging skin; and they drank the black rain, as there no longer was running water. They thus ingested radioactive particles. (The worst thing they could have done.)

There was no known China Syndrome Aftermath at Hiroshima because the Uranium atoms came down over a widely dispersed area; and thus were not concentrated enough to have heat generating effect in any known areas. Note that I have detailed that at Hiroshima, radiation levels on the ground were low enough so that American troops were there performing various tasks within a few days. At the WTC, the micro-nukes (emplaced in the centers) were chosen small enough so as to not vaporize the outer structure (and give the Op-Plan away). So as the micro-nukes were going off at each level and in the sub-basement area, the outer structure was still extant for the most part. Also there was no fireball under these conditions that rose to 15,000 feet or so. Just as there were no fireballs seen in all the underground nuclear tests. And there was no rain for several days. The heavy Uranium atoms and fragments, if in the dust, would have come down first, with all the many lighter elements coming down on top of them soon thereafter. This effect may even have provided some radiation shielding. Much of the rubble pile was indeed hot, and led to such phenomena as melted firemen’s and dog’s boots; and the need to hose down the rubble pile for many weeks and months, with countless photos showing the steam emanation that resulted. Fratricided or fizzled nukes and the more totally enclosed sub-basement effect would have left more concentrated fission fragments in some areas and in the former basements. These would later give rise to massive temperatures and molten metal weeks and months later, as detailed in the above-cited archived articles.

Indeed, I would assert that the floors that were chosen for the initial explosions, (the “official,” but CGI “plane hit” floors), were chosen precisely because they still provided enough height and building material so that the first nukes going off at their top-most level would not vaporize through to the top! That could have allowed a visible rising fireball that had to be avoided. In other words, if the first nuke, in the top-down demolition, occurred at or near the top floor, it could have vaporized through to the outside air and a visible fireball could have then ensued. So the floors for the “plane hit” explosions were carefully chosen to coincide with the placement of the initial nukes to go off. This logic also dictates that if there were no planes, it is also highly unlikely that missiles hit the towers either. Anything hitting the towers could have jeopardized both the smaller shape charges to go off-- and create the so-called plane-shaped holes; and also if the wrong floor were hit, it could have interfered with the planned start of the top-down nuclear demolition, although some redundancy was probably built in.

But we should also never forget at least one similarity between Hiroshima and the WTC. Just as many people close to the Hiroshima hypocenter were vaporized, over 1100 human beings in the WTC towers were so vaporized that no intact strands of DNA could be used for identification. But fortunately there was one major difference in the aftermath, there was no widely dispersed, radioactive “black rain” to ingest or have fall upon people. The people of Japan have never forgotten their “black rain,” nor their Hiroshima that was perpetrated by the same regime, primarily against innocent women, children and old men (despite the American propaganda efforts to imply otherwise). Likewise it must be the task for Americans to learn what this same regime did to the innocent human beings in the World Trade Center and the 40,000 responders, and the many nearby Metro New York residents and workers.

The terms Hiroshima and World Trade Center need to become synonymous. And the world needs to come together to counter this same monstrous regime before it kills all or most of humanity!

911 - Does the huge quantity of iron-rich spheres in the dust point to nuclear or DEW hypotheses?

Does the huge quantity of iron-rich spheres in the dust point to nuclear or DEW hypotheses?

Calculations can help define the magnitude of various theories. I am referencing a calculation that Niels Harrit emailed to me and various others on 7/26/2011. He calculated the amount of thermitic material that would have been necessary to account for the quantity of iron-rich spheres in the WTC dust, assuming of course that the iron reaction product of the thermite reaction was the source of the spheres. The range of thermitic material that he calculated was from 29,000 metric tons to 143,000 metric tons per Twin Tower, depending on the iron oxide concentration assumed for the thermitic material. These numbers are unrealistically high in terms of the quantity of thermitic material that could have or would have been loaded into a Twin Tower by the perpetrators before its destruction, in my view, but that’s not what I want to get into right here. I want to use this huge quantity of iron-rich spheres to illustrate an alternate explanation for their presence.
An intermediate value from Harrit’s calculation referenced above was that conservatively 11,660 metric tons of iron-rich spheres were present in the dust generated from the destruction of one Twin Tower. If we assume that the iron-rich spheres were mostly iron, with the iron source possibly being the structural steel rather than thermitic material, the energy required to convert this much iron to the molten state can be calculated. (It is assumed that the iron-rich spheres required a prior molten state for their formation.) Furthermore, if we express the energy in terms of the quantity of TNT equivalent based on its heat of explosion, these units can give us something to relate to in terms commonly associated with specifying the magnitude of nuclear explosions, kilotons. So if the calculation is done for just the energy necessary to melt the iron, on the order of 1 kiloton of TNT is the energy equivalent required. If we also include the energy necessary to heat the iron from room temperature to its melting point, then on the order of 4 kilotons TNT equivalent would be required. Of course there would be more kilotons than this to account for all of the other destruction in addition to just producing the iron-rich spheres, so we are definitely talking about something in the multiple kiloton range. This helps to illustrate the magnitude of what we may be dealing with in the destruction of the Twin Towers and points towards the possibility of nuclear devices or even possibly some more esoteric directed free energy technology such as what Dr. Judy Wood hypothesizes, in her book, “Where Did the Towers Go?” All WTC destruction hypotheses are speculative, and these are no exception, but these do seem to fit the magnitude of the iron-rich sphere data better than the nanothermite hypothesis. Dr. Judy Wood’s hypothesis is also a nuclear hypothesis of sorts, in that she refers to Low Energy Nuclear Reactions as a possible part of the esoteric technology used.

ABSTRACT
Although the Harrit et al. paper claims great uniformity of results among all samples based on all the tests apart from the Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) tests, this is in significant contrast to the tremendous lack of uniformity reflected in the DSC results.
Also, although the paper contains a rather doubtful statement regarding its findings in one part of the paper, it concludes with a strikingly confident conclusion in the final statement of the paper.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETER (DSC) RESULTS
There are some weaknesses in the Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) data that is presented in the paper (Harrit et al.) for the 4 dust samples.
There were 4 dust samples tested. Page 9 of the paper identifies them as
1 MacKinlay
2 Delassio/Breidenbach
3 Intermount
4 White
The DSC data is presented in the text of page 19, section 3, which refers to graphical results of Fig. 19 on page 20. One of the DSC traces is compared to a trace of published nanothermite data in Fig. 29 on page 25. The results are presented in Fig. 30 on page 27 in the form of bar graphs reporting units of kJ/g.
There is an oddity I want to point out before I get into the first weakness.
The data referred to on page 19 and in Fig. 19 appears to have not included sample 2 Delassio/Breidenbach, but instead has a MacKinlay 2 sample in its place to give a total of 4 samples tested. In Fig. 30 the 4 samples are clearly labeled as 1, 2, 3, and 4, so here it seems to imply that the 2 Delassio/Breidenbach sample is included. Interestingly, the numerical value of 3 kJ/g given in the text on page 19 for the MacKinlay 2 sample of Fig. 19 is the same or at least close to the same as the 2 (presumably) Delassio/Breidenbach sample of Fig. 30. Clarification from the authors should be sought to clear up this confusion.
So there were 4 separate dust samples, with multiple red/gray chips in each sample.
I will use the numerical values of energy release given in the text (page 19) as representing the values in the bar graph of Fig. 30 for the 4 WTC chip samples. These would be
Sample 1: 1.5 kJ/g
Sample 2: 3 kJ/g
Sample 3: 7.5 kJ/g
Sample 4: 6 kJ/g
As these four DSC data points are all we have, it is of note that there is tremendous scatter in this data. The average value is 4.5 and the standard deviation is 2.7. As two standard deviations is usually what is used when referring to a value being +/- some uncertainty, in rough terms, we would then say that the DSC data gives an average value of 4.5 kJ/g, with an uncertainty of +/- 100%.
It appears that only one red/gray chip was selected from each sample for DSC testing. If DSC tests had been done separately for multiple chips in each sample, then the question of whether the scatter in the data was present similarly within each of the samples could also have been addressed. You cannot find what you do not look for.
The paper offers some possible explanations for the scatter in the data. From page 19, section 3, it states,
“Variations in peak height as well as yield estimates are not surprising, since the mass used to determine the scale of the signal, shown in the DSC traces, included the mass of the gray layer. The gray layer was found to consist mostly of iron oxide so that it probably does not contribute to the exotherm, and yet this layer varies greatly in mass from chip to chip.”
Page 29, Conclusion 10. offers an explanation for higher total energy release than can be explained by the classic thermite reaction (true for samples 3 & 4)
“The carbon content of the red material indicates that an organic substance is present. This would be expected for super-thermite formulations in order to produce high gas pressures upon ignition and thus make them explosive. The nature of the organic material in these chips merits further exploration. We note that it is likely also an energetic material, in that the total energy release sometimes observed in DSC tests exceeds the theoretical maximum energy of the classic thermite reaction.”
If citing gray layer variation and organic content is not enough to explain the tremendous variation in the results, another explanation is added on page 27, section 6. I will quote an entire paragraph so you can appreciate the context.
“It is striking that some of the red/gray chips release more energy in kJ/g than does ordinary thermite, as shown in the blue bar graphs above. The theoretical maximum for thermite is 3.9 kJ/g [27]. We suggest that the organic material in evidence in the red/gray chips is also highly energetic, most likely producing gas to provide explosive pressure. Again, conventional thermite is regarded as an incendiary whereas super-thermite, which may include organic ingredients for rapid gas generation, is considered a pyrotechnic or explosive [6, 24]. As this test was done in air it is possible that some of the enhancement of energy output may have come from air oxidation of the organic component.”
So the DSC tests were done in air so extra oxygen was present to help liberate energy from any organics that might be present.
I know there is very little data to go on, just 4 DSC scans of red/gray chips, but with the scatter in the data and the explanations offered to explain it, I get the impression that the red/gray chips are tremendously lacking in uniformity. Or else there is much inherent error in the experimental apparatus.
By having air and therefore a source of oxygen present in the DSC seems to be an error in method since it allows for the input of energy from outside the substance that is itself being measured for its energy content. From Fig. 30 Chip 3 liberates considerably more energy than the high explosive HMX, and Chip 4 also exceeds the HMX value, but only by a little. The HMX provides its own oxygen within its chemical makeup, so it would not depend upon additional oxygen present to liberate its full energy. (Be sure not to confuse energy release with detonation velocity, an issue I am not dealing with in this write-up.)
I would like to see what a DSC trace of pure HMX would look like. It would probably look quite different because it would start to release its energy at a lower temperature, the deflagration temperature of HMX being 287 deg C. (page 238, “Explosives,” 6th edition, Meyer et al., 2007)
In summary, the DSC data is extremely limited with much scatter and has a potential method error. Drawing firm conclusions from it is extremely dubious.

QUANTIFYING EXPLANATIONS FOR SCATTER IN DSC DATA
Variability in proportions of gray layer within the red/gray chips and organics present in the red layer are cited as explanations for the scatter in the DSC data. Let’s quantify these explanations to see what kind of variability of the specimens might account for the scatter in the data.
The energy release for thermite is cited as 3.9 kJ/g. For the lowest value from the DSC tests, 1.5 kJ/g for sample 1, let’s first assume for the sake of illustration that this specimen had a low value because it had no organics in the red layer (in other words it is essentially pure thermite), and the gray layer being predominantly iron oxide as the paper says, acted as excess reactant and therefore was essentially inert providing no energy in the DSC test. In this case, the red layer would have to be present at 38 % by weight and the gray layer present at 62 % within the specimen. The math is 1.5/3.9 = 0.38. In summary, this would be assuming no organics, 38% red layer, and 62% gray layer.
The above calculation is done as a base case for comparison, even though its assumption of no organics in the red layer goes against the major thrust of the conclusion of the Harrit et al. paper that the red layer is a form of nanothermite that includes organics.
The next calculation is an attempt to quantify the high end of the DSC data, 7.5 kJ/g for sample 3. The presence of organics is cited as the explanation for the high value by the paper. Pure high explosive HMX has a energy release of 5.2 kJ/g, so even if sample 3 were 100 % HMX, this could not account for the higher value of 7.5 kJ/g obtained by the DSC test. So, for the sake of illustration, I am going to assume that the organic present in the red layer has an energy release of twice that of HMX, or 10.4 kJ/g. To help account for the high value of 7.5 kJ/g for sample 3, I am also going to assume that it contains no gray layer. In other words I am going to assume that sample 3 is 100 % red layer material. Setting x = weight fraction thermite in the red layer, the math is 3.9x + 10.4(1-x) = 7.5. Solving for x gives 0.45. So based on the above assumptions the red layer would have to contain 45 % thermite by weight and 55 % organic. In summary, this would be 100% red layer, no gray layer, with the red layer made up of 45% thermitic material and 55% organics.
Let’s now go back to the low value case, 1.5 kJ/g for sample 1, and assume that it is made up of red layer (containing 45 % thermite and 55 % organic from the previous calculation) plus gray layer of inert excess iron oxide reactant. In this case then, the specimen would have to contain 20 % red layer and 80 % gray layer. The math is 1.5/7.5 = 0.2. In summary, this would be 20% red layer (made up of 45% thermite and 55% organic) and 80% gray layer.
Therefore, a very high degree of variability among the red/gray chips is necessary to explain the scatter in the DSC test data, unless there is significant error in the experimental apparatus and technique.
This is in contrast to these statements from the paper concerning the great uniformity of results.
From page 15, right column, it states, “From these data, it is determined that the red/gray chips from different WTC dust samples are extremely similar in their chemical and structural makeup. It is also shown that within the red layer there is an intimate mixing of the Fe-rich grains and Al/Si plate-like particles and that these particles are embedded in a carbon-rich matrix.”
From page 23, upper left column, it states, “The results clearly show the similarities of the red/gray chips from the different dust samples from all four sites.”

ANOTHER WEAKNESS IN THE DSC DATA
On page 25 of the paper, it says
“The red layer of the red/gray chips is most interesting in that it contains aluminum, iron and oxygen components which are intimately mixed at a scale of approximately 100 nanometers (nm) or less. Now we compare a DSC trace obtained for a WTC red/gray chip with a DSC trace obtained for known super-thermite (see Fig. (29)).”
Note that in Fig. 29 the trace of the WTC sample is really not all that similar to the known super-thermite. The WTC sample cited in Fig. 29 is the MacKinlay sample, although it does not say whether it is the MacKinlay 1 or MacKinlay 2 sample. But from Fig. 19, where 4 WTC DSC traces are plotted, for the four samples, MacKinlay 1, MacKinlay 2, Intermont, and White, the two MacKinlay samples are the lowest energy release traces. The other two, Intermont (sample 3), and White (sample 4) have much higher energy release, and deviate even more from the known super-thermite trace of Fig. 29.

STATISTICAL WEAKNESS OF THE DATA PRESENTED IN THE PAPER
With the tremendous scatter in the DSC data presented in the paper, and its implication for extreme non uniformity of the red/gray chips that I have tried to quantify, the question needs to be raised on all of the other tests that were performed to characterize the red/gray chips, and whether additional tests should have been done on other of the chips within the samples, to see if those tests also would have shown such high levels of non uniformity.

OTHER QUOTES OF NOTE FROM THE PAPER
From page 25 of the paper, right column, first paragraph, the final sentence is
“We make no attempt to specify the particular form of nano-thermite present until more is learned about the red material and especially about the nature of the organic material it contains.” This statement expresses a lot of doubt about the findings.
From page 29 of the paper, final paragraph.
“Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material.” This final conclusion statement of the paper expresses much less doubt.
