It make you wonder, what kind of idiot thinks a man who because of severe brain damage due to an accident is a guy you would list as an asset to your cause? A man with a history of bazaar behaviors and ideas because of that injury. We are talking here of “Gary Fucking Busey”, everything that come out of his mouth has been a joke for years. An unfortunate train wreck of a man after falling off his Harley and hitting his head. The only bright spot is he became a poster boy for the advantages of wearing a helmet. Most people laugh off his views on life and politics but 9/11 truthers are so desperate for any warm body to buy their little swindle they will take anyone even Busey.
You will note when you look at the other celebrity truthers you don’t exactly see a lot of bright people, The last one being Charlie Sheen, what ever happened to him? Is he still ‘Winning”? You have some Dude who played with Metallica, well, there is a ringing endorsement. Remember Rosie O’Donnell Rant That Fire Doesn’t Melt Steel in spite of the fact foundries and blacksmiths have been doing just that for centuries.
We live in a nation that believes in the cult of personality, that the view of an actor or rap artist on 9/11 is of the same value as real experts, actual structural engineers what have actually designed skyscraper.
So here Gary rambles on about how “They” are taking god out of America. At the end you see Jim Marrs, a nut who thinks aliens are visiting earth and JFK was not shot by Oswald.
One of the biggest lie perpetrated by the 9/11 conspiracy theorist kooks is that Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta testified to a supposed stand down order by Dick Cheney.
BUT…. This from the Washington Post’s paints a very different picture. This was referring to flight 93. Mineta did not know this and assumed it was flight 77 which had already hit the Pentagon.
In the White House bunker, a military aide approached the vice president.
“There is a plane 80 miles out,” he said. “There is a fighter in the area. Should we engage?”
“Yes,” Cheney replied without hesitation.
Around the vice president, Rice, deputy White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Cheney’s chief of staff, tensed as the military aide repeated the question, this time with even more urgency. The plane was now 60 miles out. “Should we engage?” Cheney was asked.
“Yes,” he replied again.
As the plane came closer, the aide repeated the question. Does the order still stand?
“Of course it does,” Cheney snapped.
So the order was NOT to stand down, but to ENGAGE.
And this video clearly shows there was no order to stand down.

Couple took daughter to various health professionals, but abandoned each conventional medication she was prescribed within a short time of starting it, they solidly pursued homeopathic remedies.
Starting to hear rumbling of Fort Hood being and “Inside Job”. The reality of this event is just not good enough for the conspiracy theorist loonies, they have to concoct a giant plot fitting their particular political or religious ideology. Like JFK or 9/11, They often blames the government, New World Order and of course “The Jews”, every one but the people who in reality, did it. The reality is, it happened inside and the guy who did it was an insider.
The first to jump on the kook express are of course the 9/11 Inside Job crackpots. The comments over at 911blogger have the same lame “Only asking questions” tactic, Gee! as if the early reports coming out of a hectic event such as this would NOT contain some inaccuracies and confusion. Fort Hood Shooting ‘Oddities’
Submitted by Orangutan. on Sat, 11/07/2009 One can only assume “Orangutan” is an observation on the posters evolutionary rank.
I saw a comment over on BradBlog that said this was a traditional case of mutiny on the base. After they got things settled, they didn’t want that fact to come out because it might encourage others who are feeling the same way to act out the same way, so they framed this psychiatrist who may have just been injured in the incident. Of course this is all speculation, but with the initial reports it kind of makes sense. We’ll see what comes of it if anything.
So apparently the conspiracy is that soldiers are in an armed revolt and being shot by other soldiers and the entire episode is being covered up and an innocent Muslim Army Major being made the scapegoat.
My question becomes, “How do I cash in on the scam?” Conspiracy theorist being the gullible suckers they are prime candidates for a little fleecing, If I were a scum bag I would write a book, maybe a DVD to sell to the rubes.

9/11 truthers were all atwitter when Steven Jones announced he along with Kevin Ryan, Neils Harritt and Tony Szamboti had gotten a paper accepted in a “Peer Reviewed” science Journal. A first for the conspiracy theorist promoting the idea a super duper double secret nano thermite had brought down the World Trade Center.
Unfortunately debunkers soon pointed out the science journal in question was Bentham Open Journals, a for all intents and purposes a vanity publisher. You pay, they publish. Not exactly a REAL peer reviewed publisher of hard core science information. This did little to get the tin foil hat wearing conspiracy huckster taken seriously by scientist who know what they are talking about.
The dubious quality of Bentham’s peer review process has been brought into clear focus by a graduate student at Cornell University. They got a paper accepted by Bentham that consisted of nothing but computer generated nonsense.
In this section, we discuss existing research into red-black trees, vacuum tubes, and courseware [10]. On a similar note, recent work by Takahashi suggests a methodology for providing robust modalities, but does not offer an implementation [9].
The writers of the paper even dropped a hint of the hoax by giving their institutional affiliation as the Center for Research in Applied Phrenology, or CRAP.
This is not the first time “pay-to-play” journals have been had. The Cornell students withdrew the hoax paper, Why? Because they are students, and Bentham wants $800 to publish.
The 9/11 Truth movement dies a slow but humorous death but does provide a good laugh from time to time.
Most religious groups in USA have lost ground, survey finds
It seems the non-religious are now the second largest group when the question of religion is asked. Americans who claim “no religion at all” is up to 15%, in 2008, it was only 8% in 1990. This now outranks every other major U.S. religious group except Catholics (25.1%) and Baptists (15.8%). The non-religious now out rank the general born again Christians who are down in the 14.2%. Protestant? 12.9%. Not very good for a nation that was largely Christian. Looks like the the challenge to Christianity is not going to come from the Middle East, (Muslim are only 0.3% to 0.6% in the US) but from people rejecting all form of organized religion.
Makes you wonder why politicians don’t try and cater to this new voting block? I say that jokingly because being A-theistic is not some club you join. As someone once said “getting atheist to ban together is like herding cats”. It’s far easier to get the religious types worked up over an issue, they are far more inclined to follow the herd or the lead cow anyway. When you are not religious, religion becomes just one more of the unimportant things you are not, and in life there as far more things you don’t believe in than you do. Chances are you do not believe in a South seas coconut tree dwelling Tiki god. Hey! me too, To me the Tiki god is in the same box of bologna as the popular sky daddy, virgin born, dead guy on a stick stuff.
Stem cell biologists in the US have been waiting for a long time to be able to use the more Pluripotent embryonic stem cells that were banned by the Bush administration. Reversal of the ban is an action scientists hope will lead to cures for deadly ailments like diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.
“What happened today is huge,” says Kevin Wilson, director of public policy at the American Society for Cell Biology. “We’ve gone from having a small number of cell lines eligible for federal funding to having at least a few hundred.”
UFO Myths: A Special Investigation into Stephenville and Other Major Sightings
What were the speed-shifting, color-morphing UFOs that mystified hundreds of eyewitnesses around Stephenville, Texas, last January? Optical Illusions? Secret Military Operations? Alien Spaceships? PM spent months investigating UFO conspiracy theories, looking for straightforward explanations. A special report.
Photograph of ball lightning, which prompted scientists to acknowledge the phenomenon.
The world is complex and often mysterious. So the fact people see light in the sky they can’t explain is not that unusual.
Things like the atmospheric electrical phenomenon called Ball Lightning have been known for years. And if you are not familiar with Ball Lighting by all means look it up, it’s fascinating.
Now scientist at the Tel Aviv University have discovered yet another natural light emitting phenomenon that takes place high above thunder storms called “Sprites”. True, not as intriguing as saying you looked up in the sky and saw ET flying around but I find the real world much more appealing.
