    When I say Beck is amusing, I mean it. It's kind of like reading Red Chocolate or SamFisher. I don't take him seriously, but he is not mean-spirited, just paranoid.

    Listening is Olbermann froth at the mouth is scary. He is as over the top as Beck but vicious. No, he is a brilliant speaker but, like a Hitler, in my non-professional but somewhat experienced opinion, just as clinically insane. Listen to him, and you can't help but feel uneasy.

    No, but I can read what is posted. Please try again (non-professional but somewhat experienced opinion...). I listened to and observed people professionally in Olbermann and Beck's playpen for more than 20 years.

    Please give up the "I'm a real pro journalist I swear!!!" card - nobody bought it then, nobody buys it now.

    Go back to your own SamFisher world, Sam. There's a reason you picked a video game character for your moniker. The world is real.

    In your somewhat experienced twenty year opinion, are Red Chocolate and SamFisher mean-spirited subjects?

    Because I feel that behind their fluffy Hangout personas, they are indeed very Dr. Evilesque in the real non-video game world.

    Not mean-spirited like Olbermann. No, I love reading both of them, but for board members they are pretty far out there. Sam is contentious for the sake of being contentious. Red Chocolate ... well, he is Beck on steroids. Still, they are both fun and funny ... and I mean that in a nice way.

    So when will these camps be ready?

    I'm compiling a list of names for submittal and I'm tired of waiting.

    Will they be like Holiday Inn Express? With a hot breakfast bar? Complementary newspaper?

    I was watching old episodes of Jericho last night (a must watch show about post-nuclear attacks in USA), and this one character was saying something like, "God I don't want to go back to that FEMA camp again." This was probably the first time someone mentioned FEMA camps on TV (back in April 2007).

    Beck is confusing because he's spouting complete disinfo (obama's got nothing to do with FEMA camps, they go back roughly to Reagan and REX-84 programs, Halliburton won the bid to build them), yet seems to be addressing some issues that no one else in the mainstream will. It's like listening to a conspiracy theorist who knows 1% of what he should know before even opening his mouth.

    What's funny is that other people on his show don't really say "WTF is a FEMA camp??" they seem to have an idea about their existence but are happy to ignore it, like it is a blackballed topic. I'm fairly confident that if the economy continues to worsen, you'll see a progressive increase in FEMA name dropping on the news.

    It's been a while since I paid much attention to these conspiracy theories, and few people remember the exact numbers of the buildings (especially a building that had nobody in it when it collapsed), so it shouldn't be surprising that random people off the street would say "wha?" But still, that was my mistake in assuming that WTC7 was one of the two twin towers, so I apologize.

    Now, my question is what does that video show that contradicts the official report? (See section 3.3 of the NIST report on the collapse of WTC 7.) Note that the report explains that the lack of visible window breakage and lack of audible blast noise indicate that a blast intense enough cause the collapse of the building did not occur that day.

    I don't think that there is no way it could happen. I do think it is unlikely though. And the existence of a plausible explanation and the ease with which these conspiracies get debunked means that it is so unlikely that it isn't worth the time to consider much further. I mean, it took me 10 minutes to find a scientific report explaining the collapse that runs circles around the "but have you ever seen a building collapse like that" argument. If you have scientific data that counters the explanation and tests done in that report I'd probably be willing to listen, but short of that I'm comfortable in taking the word of the experts.

    Here's a list of the ones in Texas....can someone please check these out and see if they have the hot breakfast?

    TEXAS
    Austin - Robert Mueller Municipal airport has detenion areas inside hangars.
    Bastrop - Prison and military vehicle motor pool.
    Eden - 1500 bed privately run federal center. Currently holds illegal aliens.
    Ft. Hood (Killeen) - Newly built concentration camp, with towers, barbed wire etc., just like the one featured in the movie Amerika. Mock city for NWO shock- force training. Some footage of this area was used in "Waco: A New Revelation" Reese AFB (Lubbock) - FEMA designated detention facility.
    Sheppard AFB - in Wichita Falls just south of Ft. Sill, OK. FEMA designated detention facility.
    North Dallas - near Carrolton - water treatment plant, close to interstate and railroad.
    Mexia - East of Waco 33mi.; WWII German facility may be renovated.
    Amarillo - FEMA designated detention facility
    Ft. Bliss (El Paso) - Extensive renovation of buildings and from what patriots have been able to see, many of these buildings that are being renovated are being surrounded by razor wire.
    Beaumont / Port Arthur area - hundreds of acres of federal camps already built on large-scale detention camp design, complete with the double rows of chain link fencing with razor type concertina wire on top of each row. Some (but not all) of these facilities are currently being used for low-risk state prisoners who require a minimum of supervision.
    Ft. Worth - Federal prison under construction on the site of Carswell AFB.

    Good thing we have you around to educate and alert us from the impending coup d'état of our freedom, Red.

    Thanks.

    I suppose that the fact some of us have been all over Mueller, which is a huge development now and not an airport at all (unless you count the helicopters that bring emergency patients to Dell Children's Hospital as "Black Helicopters" and a landing pad equals an airport!), and have seen absolutely nothing in the way of "secret detention facilities," could in any way count for anything. The hospital has a hot breakfast, by the way. If you need it.

    (I'm quoting you, but I think we're coming from the same point of view! ;) )

    Like I said, name one building in the history of the world that's collapsed in a free fall due to fire alone, besides WTC7. The NIST report is shaky at best (even they admit the evidence supplied to them was given in a controlled fashion), and there are numerous eyewitness accounts inside WTC7 and outside that heard explosions.

    My retort: read this

    Now if you could just find all of the hidden WWII Nazi gold, you could solve the financial crisis.

    Any clues?

    Sure, I'd start out with the Federal Reserve and the Bush Family fortune (starting with Prescott Bush, who had close ties with the Nazis).

    BTW I read this Maddox thing several years ago. I don't see WTC7 mentioned there or in that NIST report (like I stated earlier, there's lot of holes in their whole report and it took them 7 yrs to write it while adding a legal disclaimer).

    I won't read this Popular Mechanics article again because it's corporately owned and full of lies as a result. The PM article doesn't mention a lot of key issues, including the war games going on during 9/11 (simulations of airline hijackings), deliberately arranged by the culprits as to not cause a stir until the attacks were over.

    Showing me stuff that I've read years ago (weak, weak 9/11 truth debunk attempts at best) isn't what I'm looking for. WTC7, war games, thermite, the official sketchy stories of the hijackers (some of whom weren't qualified to fly a Cessna) are worth researching and will give you more 9/11 understanding than 99.9% of the population.
