Dabei gehe es um frühere Mitglieder der Waffen-SS, die in der Ukraine angeworben wurden und während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Polen, der Slowakei und der Ukraine im Einsatz waren. Nach Schätzungen aus dem britischen Innenministerium könnten noch hunderte der ehemaligen SS-Angehörigen in Großbritannien leben. Das Blatt selbst will allein zwölf Männer ausfindig gemacht haben. Die Untersuchungen liefen geheim, heißt es weiter. Scotland Yard wollte keinen Kommentar dazu abgeben. "Sie sollen nicht ruhig schlafen" 05.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-398939,00.html Wissenschaftler gehen davon aus, dass die ersten kommerziellen Fusionskraftwerke ab der Jahrhundertmitte ans Netz gehen werden. Doch wie sicher werden diese Anlagen sein? Während Atomkraftgegner vor unkalkulierbaren Gefahren bei der Stromerzeugung durch die Verschmelzung von Atomkernen in 100 Millionen Grad heißen Plasmen warnen, sprechen Befürworter von einer gänzlich sicheren Technologie. Von ihr gingen keine radioaktiven Risiken wie von konventionellen Atomkraftwerken der Gegenwart aus, die auf der Basis der Kernspaltung arbeiten. Jetzt haben erstmals europäische Wissenschaftler eine Kraftwerksstudie über die zu erwartenden ökologischen und ökonomischen Eigenschaften von Fusionsanlagen vorgelegt. Unter Leitung des französischen Physikers David Maisonnier analysierten fast 100 Experten aus ganz Europa mögliche Kraftwerksprojekte. Das Fazit der Untersuchung: Nach aktuellem Wissensstand sind katastrophale Unfälle in einem Fusionskraftwerk unmöglich 05.Feb.2006 Kalifornien: Ein Toter und 100 Verletzte bei Gefängnismeuterei 05.Feb.2006 Wackelige Konjunktur: Irankrise droht Aufschwung abzuwürgen 05.Feb.2006 Kernfusion-Studie: Nutzung des Sonnenfeuers wäre sicher 04.Feb.2006 Heiliger Stuhl: Vatikan kritisiert Mohammed-Karikaturen 04.Feb.2006 Atomstreit: Iran untersagt unangekündigte Kontrollen 04.Feb.2006 Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz: Mitten im Kampf der Kulturen 04.Feb.2006 Überlebende Nazis: Scotland Yard ermittelt gegen hunderte SS-Verbrecher 04.Feb.2006 Überlebende Nazis: Scotland Yard ermittelt gegen hunderte SS-Verbrecher 04.Feb.2006 Karikaturenstreit: Skandinavische Botschaften in Brand gesetzt 04.Feb.2006 https://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?noframes;read=25147 However, one of the geophysicists made a noteworth statement: "During the collapse, most of the energy of the falling debris was absorbed by the towers + the neighboring structures, converting them into rubble + dust or causing other damage-but not causing significant ground shaking." If that is the case, then exactly what did cause the ground to shake, as recorded on the seismographs? 04.Feb.2006 https://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?noframes;read=25147 13.Feb.2002 . In appreciation for a job well-done, Guiliani was knighted by the Queen of England on The editor-in-chief of Fire Engineering magazine, William A. Manning, demanded a detailed investigation + preservation of the WTC steel. He said "The destruction and removal of evidence must stop immediately." He went on: "For more than three months, structural steel from the World Trade Center has been and continues to be cut up and sold for scrap. Crucial evidence that could answer many questions about high-rise building design practices and performance under fire conditions is on the slow boat to China, perhaps never to be seen again in America until you buy your next car. "I have combed through our national standard for fire investigation, NFPA 921, but nowhere does one find an exemption allowing the destruction of evidence for buildings over 10 stories tall. Clearly, there are burning questions that need answers. Based on the incident's magnitude alone, a full-throttle, fully resourced, forensic investigation is imperative." The steel was recycled by Alan D. Ratner of Metal Management (Newark, N.J.) and Hugo Neu Shnitzer East (N.Y.), who sold the steel to China, Korea and India. Ratner has close ties to the foreign WTC cleanup companies. 04.Feb.2006 https://www.911blogger.com/ 01.Feb.2006 Al-Qaeda Propagandizes For Bush On Eve Of State of the Union https://www.globalresearch.ca Hot on the heels of Osama bin Laden's latest release, an audio tape that boosted George W. Bush's poll numbers despite it being described as a probable fake by bin Laden expert Professor Bruce Lawrence, Ayman al-Zawahri has popped up on the eve of the State of the Union to hand Bush all the ammunition he needs to threaten American citizens for a sixth consecutive time. 04.Feb.2006 https://www.911blogger.com/ 11.Sep.2001 A 9/11 Conspirator in King Bush's Court? A 9/11 Conspirator in King Bush's Court? - Huffington Post While Cindy Sheehan was being dragged from the House gallery moments before President Bush delivered his State of the Union address for wearing a t-shirt honoring her son and the other 2,244 US soldiers killed in Iraq, Turki al-Faisal was settling into his seat inside the gallery. Faisal, a Saudi, is a man who has met Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants on at least five occasions, describing the al Qaeda leader as "quite a pleasant man." He met multiple times with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. Yet, unlike Sheehan, al-Faisal was a welcomed guest of President Bush on Tuesday night. He is also a man that the families of more than 600 victims of the 9/11 attacks believe was connected to their loved ones' deaths. Al-Faisal is actually Prince Turki al-Faisal, a leading member of the Saudi royal family and the kingdom's current ambassador to the US. But the bulk of his career was spent at the helm of the feared Saudi intelligence services from 1977 to 2001. Last year, The New York Times pointed out that "he personally managed Riyadh's relations with Osama bin Laden and Mullah Muhammad Omar of the Taliban. Anyone else who had dealings with even a fraction of the notorious characters the prince has worked with over the years would never make it past a U.S. immigration counter, let alone to the most exclusive offices in Washington." Al-Faisal was also named in the $1 trillion lawsuit filed by hundreds of 9/11 victims' families , who accused him of funding bin Laden's network. Curiously, his tenure as head of Saudi intelligence came to an abrupt and unexpected end 10 days before the 9/11 attacks . posted by dz at 6:00 PM EST Comments (5) 04.Feb.2006 https://www.911blogger.com/ Although official government explanations of why Building Seven fell seven hours after the second tower fell cite fire that melted the steel, Jones said the fire was not hot enough. The way the building fell also was not compatible with the theory, he said + is more telling of an explosion. "It's looking impossible to me as I look at these calculations that the official explanation could be correct. It violates the laws of physics," he said . 04.Feb.2006 https://www.911blogger.com/ Curt Weldon Called to Testify in Moussaoui Trial Congressman subpoenaed for 9/11 trial - CNN Attorneys for al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui have subpoenaed Pennsylvania Congressman Curt Weldon to testify at a trial that will determine whether Moussaoui should be executed. The defense is seeking Weldon's testimony to try and show that the government knew more about the 11.Sep.2001 attacks than Moussaoui did. Weldon, vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, contends that Able Danger mined computer data to identify four of the 19 hijackers, including leader Mohammed Atta, as al Qaeda operatives a year + a half before the 11.Sep.2001 attacks. Weldon has spearheaded the call for Congress to hold public hearings on Able Danger + penned a letter signed by a bipartisan group of 248 members of Congress calling on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to permit military analysts who worked on the program to testify. "It is an important issue in understanding the full scope of 11.Sep.2001 9/11," said Weldon's communications director, John Tomaszewski. "The venue + the time has not been decided." posted by dz at 12:02 AM EST Comments (2) 04.Feb.2006 https://www.911blogger.com/ Supporting the President As always, please see the original for links to supporting documents + spread it around!!! https://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2006/02/supporting-president.html#comments Many Americans support the President because of 11.Sep.2001 11.Sep.2001 9/11 started a war on terror + Americans knows in our gut that we need a strong leader to fight that war and protect us. therefore, it is important to understand exactly what happened on 11.Sep.2001 , so that we may explain it to others. We have summarized 6 important + little-known facts about 11.Sep.2001 9/11 for this purpose: 1. The Secretary of Transportation testified before the 11.Sep.2001 9/11 Commission that Vice President Cheney monitored flight 77 for many miles as it approached the Pentagon + - - when a military man asked "do the orders still stand?" - - the Vice President responded affirmatively: "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned + whipped his neck around + said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" 2. The tape of interviews of air traffic controllers on-duty on 11.Sep.2001 9/11 was intentionally destroyed by crushing the cassette by hand, cutting the tape into little pieces + then dropping the pieces in different trash cans around the building 3. The 11.Sep.2001 9/11 Commission never considered much of the evidence about 11.Sep.2001 9/11 + even the former director of the FBI says there was a cover up by the 11.Sep.2001 9/11 Commission 4. In addition to the Twin Towers, a third world trade center building, WTC7, collapsed 11.Sep.2001 -on the afternoon of- 9/11. WTC7 was never hit by plane, contained only small fires before the collapse, fell at free-fall speed (the same speed as if there were no floors or walls to cause resistance), collapsed symetrically (which makes no sense since fires burned in only some parts of the building), became the first steel-frame building in history to collapse due to fire alone, somehow generated temperatures so high that its huge steel beams were partly evaporated + produced unusual chemical reactions consistent with the use of high-explosives. Indeed, even the government agency investigating the collapse said that - - other than an explanation involving demolition with bombs - - "the [next] best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence." 5. The Secret Service, which is highly trained to whisk the president away from danger and to a secure location in the event of a threat, breached all standard procedures + allowed President Bush to remain at a highly-publicized location for 25 minutes after it was known that the nation was under attack Source: 6. Recently declassified documents show that in the 1960's, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes) + also to commit terrorist acts on American soil + then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. Now that you know these important facts surrounding 11.Sep.2001 9/11, go out + educate others. posted by somebigguy at 10:45 AM EST Comments (13) | Trackback (0) 04.Feb.2006 free movie downloads CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THOUSANDS OF FREE MOVIES.

Continued 04.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/erde/0,1518,druck-398760,00.html Nach den Verhaltenstests untersuchten die Wissenschaftler auch, wie einzelne Gehirn-Neuronen im Riechzentrum der Ratten auf Duftreize reagierten: Über 90 Prozent der aktiven Nervenzellen konnten Gerüche von links und rechts unterscheiden. Durch diesen neurologischen Befund sehen die Forscher die Erkenntnisse aus ihrem Experiment noch bekräftigt, schreiben sie in der Fachzeitschrift "Science". "Wir glauben, dass bei Ratten mit jedem Schnüffeln ein kompletter Schnappschuss der Geruchsumwelt entsteht", schreiben die Forscher. 04.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/erde/0,1518,druck-398760,00.html Der Bruchteil einer Sekunde genügt. So schnell können Ratten mit einem Schnüffeln feststellen, aus welcher Richtung ein Duft kommt. Zwar sind die Nasenlöcher der Nager nur rund drei Millimeter voneinander entfernt. Doch ihr Gehirn erkennt an den unterschiedlichen Ankunftszeiten der Duftmoleküle in den Nasenlöchern und aus den ungleichen Intensitäten, ob sich die Geruchsquelle links oder rechts von ihnen befindet. 04.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/technologie/0,1518,druck-398842,00.html Eine einsteigerfreundliche Anleitung zur kritischen Analyse für Jedermann , hat Hardwaresecrets.com veröffentlicht.

Das Actionspiel, im klassischen Wilden Westen angesiedelt, zeige auf herabwürdigende und stereotype Weise die amerikanischen Ureinwohner und stelle deren Gebräuche und Geschichte verzerrt und falsch dar.

Eine kurze Geschichte der Indianer-Diskriminierung im Videospiel auf Gamergod.com erhellt die ganze Geschichte... 04.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/technologie/0,1518,druck-398842,00.html Derweil verhökern böse Russen Sicherheitslücken und die Indianer protestieren gegen Indianerspiele. Das Ende des Internet Frei, kostenlos, offen für jeden - das Internet ist eine Oase. Doch das amerikanische Wochenmagazine "The Nation" sieht das Ende des Internet dräuen. Der Grund: Die großen amerikanischen Telekommunikations-Unternehmen wollen aus dem öffentlichen Netz der Netze ein von Firmen kontrolliertes Angebot machen, bei dem praktisch jede Online-Bewegung etwas kostet und unliebsame Stimmen unterdrückt werden. 04.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/technologie/0,1518,druck-398842,00.html Klingt absurd? Das Center for Digital Democracy hat interne Pläne der großen Breitband-Anbieter gesammelt, die die Umstrukturierung des Netzes vorzeichnen. Natürlich ist die Gegenseite längst in Stellung gegangen und fordert eine verbriefte Neutralität des Netzes. Dem Autor des "Nation"-Artikels und vielen Kritikern geht das aber nicht weit genug - Kommunikation an sich würde gerade fundamentale Veränderungen durchmachen, die ganz andere Ansätze erforderlich machten. Sehr lesenswert! 04.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-398856,00.html Mit der neuen Technik könne die Polizei Verdächtigen somit aus sicherer Entfernung folgen und erspare sich halsbrecherische Verfolgungsjagden, bei denen in der Vergangenheit auch häufig unbeteiligte Passanten verletzt wurden, sagte Bratton. Die Polizeiflotte von L.A. soll noch im Lauf des Jahres mit der Wunderwaffe ausgestattet werden. Die bei US-Polizisten zunehmend beliebte GPS-Überwachung von Fahrzeugen ist in den USA durchaus umstritten. Kritiker wie etwa die Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) sind der Meinung, dass solche Verfolgungsmethoden zumindest per Gerichstbeschluss abgesegnet werden sollten. Ein Anwalt der EFF sagte der IT-Seite "Cnet.com" schon im vergangenen Jahr: "Wir leben in einer Welt, in der immer mehr unserer Aktivitäten in der Öffentlichkeit beobachtet werden, und, was vielleicht wichtiger ist, miteinander verknüpft werden können." Befürworter der GPS-Verfolgung halten dem entgegen, man könne ein Auto ja auch im Streifenwagen verfolgen, ohne dafür einen Richter bemühen zu müssen. 04.Feb.2006 Mohammed-Karikaturen: Annan fordert Moslems zu Vergebung auf 03.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,druck-398815,00.html Anchorage - Der vom texanischen Raffinerie-Betreiber Tesoro gecharterte Tanker "Seabulk Pride" lud nach Angaben der Küstenwache gerade Öl von der Raffinerie in Nikiski, als eine Eisscholle die Verankerung des Schiffes löste.
