01.Feb.2007 https://www.pyronsolar.com/GER/index.htm Das PYRON- SOLAR -Verstromungsprinzip löst die dringendste Herausforderung unserer Zeit: Stopp der Lufthüllenvergiftung durch Kohlendioxid und Stopp der Verbrennung der un ersetz lichen Ölvorräte durch die eleganteste Methode der solaren Stromerzeugung Here's how Wolfowitz, taken from a May 9, 2003 interview transcript, described his morning on that unforgettable day: Wolfowitz: We were having a meeting in my office. Someone said a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Then we turned on the television and we started seeing the shots of the second plane hitting + this is the way I remember it. It's a little fuzzy. Q: Right. Wolfowitz : There didn't seem to be much to do about it immediately and we went on with whatever the meeting was. Then the whole building shook. I have to confess my first reaction was an earthquake . I didn't put the two things together in my mind. Rumsfeld did instantly. [Emphasis added.] Unfortunately the interviewer, Sam Tanenhaus, then with Vanity Fair and now the editor of the New York Times Book Review, let the jaw-dropping exchange pass without comment and without any follow-up questions. Keep in mind the first 9/11 plane struck the World Trade Center at 8:46, the second at 9:03 and the third, which bombed the Pentagon, rained down at 9:37. Also keep in mind that after the second plane struck the WTC, even TV anchor people, let alone senior defense officers, who reaching the obvious conclusion; that the plane crashes were deliberate acts of terrorism. Yet incredibly, Wolfowitz, one of the most influential members of the Bush Defense team, decided there wasn't much to do about it immediately and continued on with a meeting. According to 9/11 researcher Paul Thompson, here are a handful of events that unfolded between 9:03, when Wolfowitz saw the second plane hit the WTC + 9:37 when his own Pentagon was struck.

The former New York Times reporter had presented detailed accounts of three conversations with Libby during the prosecution's questioning, but during the defense cross examination, she seemed incapable of remembering much of anything. Jeffress kept pressing her. "Do you remember my question?" he snapped at one point. Miller sighed. She apparently didn't. There are nine women on the jury. Scooter Libby's defense team better hope they don't have strong sisterhood feelings because Jeffress' thinly veiled condescension was enough to create sympathy for Miller. In Washington, that's like creating cold fusion. Miller's reporting on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has been renounced by her former paper. Her role in the Libby affair led to a very public spat that ended in her departure. To continue reading, click here.

(Northampton: Interlink Books, 2006) "Already there is near-consensus as to the sequence of events that led to the collapse of the World Trade Center."—Shankar Nair, as quoted in the Chicago Tribune September 19, 2001 Turn on C-Span, or "Meet The Press," or any other media program presenting federal officials. Whatever the issue, it always comes back to the same thing. Our government really has nothing else to offer us but protection from another 9/11. It uses this painful story to cut public services, eliminate our basic rights + plunder the national coffers. But for many of us, it is not entirely clear from whom we most need protection.[1] As our debt explodes and our freedoms diminish, it would be wise to maintain focus on the origins of our War on Terror. No matter where this war leads us, we will need to keep the beginning in mind if we ever hope to see an end. The Point of Origin: The Collapse of the WTC In August 2004, Underwriters Laboratories evaluated the Pancake Theory by testing models of the floor assemblies used in the WTC buildings. Despite all the previous expert testimony, the floor models did not collapse. NIST reported this in its October 2004 update, in a table of results that clearly showed that the floors did not fail and that, therefore, pancaking was not possible.[14] NIST more succinctly stated this again in its June 2005 draft report, saying: "The results established that this type of assembly was capable of sustaining a large gravity load, without collapsing, for a substantial period of time relative to the duration of the fires in any given location on September 11th."[15] Footnotes 1 Richard Heinberg, "Götterdämmerung," Museletter, No.144, March 2004 ( https://www.museletter.com/archive/144.html). 2 David Ray Griffin, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions ( Northampton: Interlink Books, 2005).

Cheney should spend less time on non-binding resolutions and more on equipping our forces. An audit by the Pentagon’s Inspector General released to Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) shows that U.S. soldiers have had to go without the necessary weapons, armor, vehicles + equipment in Iraq and Afghanistan: The Inspector General found that the Pentagon hasn’t been able to properly equip the soldiers it already has. Many have gone without enough guns, ammunition + other necessary supplies to “effectively complete their missions” and have had to cancel or postpone some assignments while waiting for the proper gear, according to the report from auditors with the Defense Dept. Inspector General’s office. Soldiers have also found themselves short on body armor, armored vehicles + communications equipment, among other things, auditors found. “As a result, service members performed missions without the proper equipment, used informal procedures to obtain equipment and sustainment support + canceled or postponed missions while waiting to receive equipment ,” reads the executive summary dated Jan. 25. Service members often borrowed or traded with each other to get the needed supplies, according to the summary. More bombshells are likely to come soon. Following a letter last year from Slaughter to the Pentagon, the Inspector General’s office reported two ongoing audits into the procurement of armored vehicles and body armor for American soldiers. “The results of those studies will be available in July and October of 2007, respectively,” Slaughter’s office says. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced that it wants to “raise the application fee for citizenship from $330 to $595 and the fee for becoming a legal permanent resident from $325 to $905.” 00.000.1991, the application fee for legal permanent residents was just $90. NALEO notes that according to “2000 U.S. Census data, about three out offour Mexican and Central American non- citizen households (74%) have annual incomes of less than $25,000.” A recent poll released by WorldPublicOpinion.org reveals that Iranians are both “very concerned about the danger of terrorism, reject attacks against civilians overwhelmingly + share strongly negative views of Osama bin Laden.” The findings suggest a basis for diplomacy with Iran. But the results do sound one important note of caution for the Bush administration. If it pursues permanent bases in Iraq, Iranians understand that it will have a negative affect on stability in the region. The American public, on the other hand, appears to be willing to accept permanent bases: Recommendation 22 of the Iraq Study Group said: “The President should state that the USA does not seek permanent military bases in Iraq.” So far, Bush has refused to do so. Last year, congressional conservatives quietly stripped a provision from a funding bill that would have prohibited permanent bases in Iraq. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) pushed a provision through the House — which was accepted unanimously — that put Congress on record as saying the U.S. would not be in Iraq forever. Lee recently pledged to continue pushing for the resolution until it is passed by Congress. “Ladies and gentlemen: The state of our economy is strong,” President Bush told a Wall Street audience today in his second speech this week devoted to shoring up Americans’ disapproval with the economy. In an interview last night, Bush was asked why only 41 % of Americans approve of his handling of the economy. ABC News’ Betsy Stark said, “Can that be summed up in one word? Can that be summed up as Iraq?” Bush responded, “I think so, yeah,” adding, “We’re in a time of war + war’s unsettling. War’s negative.” Stark asked Bush why 67 % of Americans believe he doesn’t understand the problems of average people. Bush said, “I think it’s ’cause of the war again + I think people are feeling pretty down about, kind of, things ’cause of the war.” Watch it: Americans have plenty of reasons beyond Iraq to be frustrated with the economy and worried about their quality of life. From American Progress’ new State of the Economy report. – Job growth is the weakest on record. Job growth during the current business cycle, beginning in March 2001, has averaged an annualized 0.5 % per month, the lowest of any business cycle since the Great Depression. In fact, this is less than a quarter of the average of all prior business cycles since World War II. – Sharp spike in costs for necessities. From March 2001 through June 2006, prices for the five largest consumption items–medical care, housing, food, household operation + cars–grew more than twice as fast as they did for the smallest five consumption items. At the same time, college costs continue to soar. (more…) “Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Wednesday he will turn over secret documents detailing the government’s domestic spying program, ending a two-week standoff with the Senate Judiciary Committee over surveillance targeting terror suspects,” the AP reports. “The records will be given to Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. + the panel’s top Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who two weeks ago lambasted Gonzales for refusing to turn over documents that even the FISA Court’s presiding judge had no objection to releasing.” The conservative newspaper notes that the smears against Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) background are “a sign of the growing indifference Internet ‘journalism’ presents on the question of truth. Rumor is good enough. Bibles of blogging are created based on nothing more than rumor.” In reality, Insight Magazine — run by the Washington Times — started the rumors. Bloggers helped dispel them. On Monday, NPR senior correspondent Juan Williams interviewed President Bush and asked him a question from Spec. Ryan Schmidt of Forest Lake, MN, who is serving in Iraq: “What if your plan for a troop surge to Baghdad does not work?” Bush avoided answering the question, stating: Well, I would say to Ryan, I put it in place on the advice of a lot of smart people, particularly the military people who think it will work + let us go into this aspect of the Iraqi strategy feeling it will work . But I will also assure Ryan that we’re constantly adjusting to conditions on the ground. Williams didn’t press Bush further, instead switching the topic to Iran. But last night on NPR, reporter John McChesney followed up with Schmidt and asked him whether he believed the President adequately answered his question. Schmidt’s response was a resounding “no.” Listen here: CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO SCHMIDT Schmidt added, “For some of us that are over here, particularly me, my unit, we all feel, what’s the point of us being extended if your initial plan to send more troops over here does not work? What are you going to do, Mr. President?” (HT: NPR Check) Transcript: (more…) Admiral William Fallon — Bush’s nominee to replace Gen. John Abizaid as head of U.S. forces in the Middle East — yesterday refused to endorse Bush’s escalation strategy in Iraq. In questioning during his confirmation hearing, Fallon rebuffed repeated attempts by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) –an avowed proponent of escalation — to solicit his endorsement of the new Iraq plan: GRAHAM: And you would support sending more troops to accomplish that goal? FALLON: I don’t know how many troops are going to be necessary to effect the outcome that we want. But General Petraeus, in my conversations with him, indicated that he believes he needs these troops now, to get moving… GRAHAM: And if he said he needed more, you would support him? FALLON: I don’t know, sir. I haven’t been there yet + I’m not in a position to make that judgment. GRAHAM: Well, it’s his judgment about 21,500, does it make sense to you? FALLON: I will better be able to give you an informed answer when I understand the situation better. Moments later, responding to a question from Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), Fallon divulged he’s always “felt more comfortable in smaller numbers” rather than a larger force “decorating the landscape”: FALLON: I cannot tell you with any degree of accuracy what %age of troops or what the numbers are that are effective. And I believe that this is pretty judgmental. It’s pretty subjective, in my opinion, my experience. And it’s one that I am very anxious to gain an appreciation for from our ground commanders. I’ve always been someone who felt more comfortable in smaller numbers of very effective capabilities than a large number of — whatevers — decorating the landscape. So we’ll be really interested in trying to find out where we really stand with these forces. President Bush said of Fallon, “[He] has earned a reputation as one of our country’s foremost military strategists.” And like many other military strategists, he appears to have deep concerns about escalation in Iraq. Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller testified testified yesterday against the administration official she previously spent 85 days in jail trying to shield. Miller told the jury that “Scooter” Libby was “very irritated and angry” during a June 2003 conversation when he revealed to her that Valerie Plame worked at the CIA. After months of ethics scandals, Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA) was chosen this month “as the ranking member of a panel charged with investigating financial institutions — even as the FBI was looking into his land deals.” The Hill reports that FBI officials have contacted local officials about Miller’s land deals in the last two months. Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) goes ad hominem on Al Gore. “Al Gore thinks he can use climate change + global warming — he thinks that’s his ticket to the White House,” Inhofe said yesterday at a Senate hearing on climate change. A new audit of U.S. reconstruction spending in Iraq shows the State Department “paid $43.8 million to contractor DynCorp International for the residential camp for police training personnel…that has stood empty for months. About $4.2 million of the money was improperly spent on 20 VIP trailers and an Olympic-size pool.” U.S. officials spent another $36.4 million on weapons and body armor that “can’t be accounted for.” Michael McConnell — Bush’s nominee to be the nation’s new spy chief — works as a $2 million-a-year private consultant with some of the same senior military and intelligence officials he would supervise as director of national intelligence. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) said he would raise concerns about McConnell’s ethical entanglements. “I made it clear that I was going to be asking questions about issues relating to his work with contractors.” (more…) “I think the constitutional scheme does give Congress broad authority to terminate a war,” said Bradford Berenson, a Washington lawyer who was a White House associate counsel under Bush from 2001 to 2003. “The Washington Post has quietly retreated from a legal battle with Vice President Cheney by dropping a lawsuit demanding Secret Service logs of visitors to his office and residence.” 13.Dez.2006 -Als am- das Obergericht von Botswana das Urteil in Sachen Buschmänner gegen die Regierung von Botswana verkündete, da hatte eine Nachrichtenagentur bereits voreilig gemeldet, die Klage sei abgewiesen worden sei.

In 27B Stroke 6. is reporting that California Assemblyman Llyod Levine wants to make his state the first to ban incandescent lightbulbs with the "How Many Legislators Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb Act". The act will promote Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) to replace the inefficient incandescent lightbulbs. According to him, "Incandescent lightbulbs were first developed almost 125 years ago + since that time they have undergone no major modifications, meanwhile, they remain incredibly inefficient, converting only about 5 % of the energy they receive into light."

All four corporations testified at a 00.Feb.2006 House hearing during which Representative Tom Lantos summed up the mood of many of his colleagues by telling the companies, "I do not understand how your corporate leadership sleeps at night." The companies protested that they had no choice but to comply with local Chinese laws, but that they were troubled by their own actions + -- in a rarity for individual tech companies, much less for a chorus -- they all invited the U.S. government to play a bigger role, while being vague about what the role should be." "The UK Green Party says that Vista's DRM requirements will force many unnecessary hardware upgrades.
