Spin Again…9/11
Â
Nobody’s Opinion; There’s nothing like going on vacation and getting away from all the daily news, only to arrive home in time for 9/11. And yes, I watched the news as much as I could, trying to catch up in between the laundry… and it’s funny, because it’s been five years since that date, and I really don’t remember much attention being paid to it on television before now. Before, it was almost as if they wanted us to forget it. But not this year… the important elections are coming up.
What’s amazing is that they have done such a good job these last five years getting us to forget it. Most of the news has been focused on the failures in Iraq, so to see the footage of the towers again, was a good thing— we needed to remember, painful though it is.
I went to Las Vegas last week, and lost ten dollars in the nickel slots. It took me all of about twenty minutes. But, what was so amazing to me, is that Las Vegas is filled with thousands of people who sit at those slot machines and poker tables, only to lose their money.
Most are hopelessly convinced that they will be the ones to finally get lucky and win that Viper up on that pedestal. They sit there as if tomorrow doesn’t matter, because any day now we could all die.
People are told every day on the news how precarious our lives are, which is great for casino owners.
So… while I was walking from hotel to hotel watching thousands of people gambling away money they probably didn’t even have, I couldn’t help but wonder…how could so many people be so stupid?
And as I sit here tonight and ponder that scary thought, my mind starting spinning like an typical quarter slot machine… 9/11 thoughts spinning, and nothing ever matching.
777 just doesn’t come up, only 9/11, again and again.
No matter how you try to spin it, America seems to be on a major losing streak. Let’s pull the lever.
Spin: So…Bill Clinton, I see, is upset once again that his legacy is being tarnished, and maybe even the attack on the United States on 9/11 was his fault. What might be more important to think about is that the next big attack, the one that may be nuclear, will be because Bill Clinton put the oversight of selling military equipment into the hands of the Commerce Department (therefore passing up Congress) so that Boeing and other companies could make millions by giving the Chinese enough technology to catch up with the U.S., selling us out.
Spin again; Clinton sent Sandy Burger, and Madeline Albright, and his cocaine addicted brother Roger, over to North Korea and gave them plutonian and millions to build nuclear power stations. Kim Jong II turned around and sold dangerous stuff to Iran. China too was empowered under Bill, and sold weapons to our enemies. In fact any superiority that the United States had over any other country was erased, by Bill Clinton. And since we all know he is not stupid, we can only assume this was on purpose. Â
Spin again; Did Bill Clinton do this so that the whole world would be equal with us? Or was this done so someone would attack us during his Presidency so he could stay in office?
Spin again; The very first thing I thought when I heard Bill Clinton speak at Kerry’s Democratic convention nomination was “Oh no…Kerry’s being put up to lose, in order for Bush to be elected, so that the country will be attacked, so that Hillary will be elected.â€
Honest, I remember thinking that clearly. It seemed like an obvious political move for the Clintons. Of course, I would be called a complete nut for even thinking that. But, based on their pass actions, it seemed a logical assumption.
Spin again; On 60 minutes tonight, we got the spin about a program of “help†that was set up for the children of people killed in the World Trade Center. We see the children going to Central America to build a house for some Spanish Family…teaching them the message that if only America would have been nicer, maybe their fathers would not have died. Yes, give to others and they won’t kill you. Andy Rooney put in this liberal view at the end in his usual leftist rant about how everyone hates us. Â
Andy, go ahead, take that much delayed permanant trip to Las Vegas, please.
Spin again; Two French guys make a documentary on the daily happenings of a Fire station in New York. One of them goes into ground zero, with the Fire Chief, who stands around looking totally confused in the lobby of Tower One, not at all like a leader. This is probably what saved all his men’s lives. He didn’t even know the building above him had fallen down, most of them just stood there waiting for a decision to be made. Just the kind of guy you want in charge.
Spin again; Isn’t it strange that not one of those firemen thought that the buildings would collapse? Not one?
Spin again; No matter how many times you see the film, your eyes tell you there was no way those three buildings could have not been imploded. Not only would it have taken more than twenty-four hours for them to implode in their own footprints, it was all too perfect. So…if that’s the case, then who planted the explosives?
Spin again; Back to Clinton…the Oklahoma City FBI building had many important Clinton documents. Sandy Burger stole documents and was never prosecuted. (not much) AND the third building that came down on September 11, ( the one they never talk about) also contained many important government records. All those Clinton records…gone. Â
Spin again; What it this? Ted Kennedy is speaking Spanish to illegal immigrants on C-Span?
Spin again; The Black caucuses are telling the Spanish immigrants “WE are the new America!â€
Spin again; Didn’t Rockefeller own the ground on which the twin towers stood? And is that the reason why there is still nothing there, and why the buildings going up will be filled with international world diversity junk, while the 9/11 memorial will be stuck into the basement? And now he says Saddam should still be Iraq?
Spin again; If Hillary becomes President, she might endorse an international court to put George Bush and Tony Blair on trial for crimes committed against humanity.
Spin Again: Laura Bush and George Bush do not even look like they are talking.
Hey, I’m done. It’s time to stop gambling. This isn’t just our money, it’s our lives at stake. There is a pattern here, of the Democrats always sticking up for the Muslims, never for America.
For years, they have played the blacks for fools, spinning them with promises of equality, and filling them with hate for all whites, pitting us against each other, promising them that jackpot, which they never deliver…and now they are doing it with the Spanish, who seem to be the new slave race for the rich.Â
The government casino is winning. The odds are with the house. It seems the more we spin the slots of our government, the more we lose.
The real secrets of 9/11 might not ever be revealed.
We all need to walk away from the table. In fact, maybe we should get rid of the casino. Â
Â
Nobody’s Perfect—Okay, when I got home I found that my suitcase had been inspected, probably due to the fact that I put in a souvenir glass from one of those “fruity drinks.†The bottom of the glass lit up with lights when you pressed a button. Good to see some inspector was on his toes and checked it out, and even left me a nice little note, saying it was for my own protection. Thanks, I appreciate that.
Nobody’s Knows—Just what the heck is really going on now in the world…how can you not fear the worst when they keep telling you it’s coming?
Nobody’s Cares—I had a great time in Las Vegas! All the classes of America were represented.
The rich have these huge shopping malls, where you had to be in the top 1% to even think of buying something. The middle class old ladies sat at the slots almost glued to the chairs, and middle age guys in funny hats played poker for days on end. All the Mexicans cleaned up. The Chinese were half of the dealers…and yes, there are still mafia looking guys walking around.And this nobody finally got to see it for real. It really was incredible. Next time, I might bet twenty. Â
Â
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in your yucky brown, one rink up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life;drummer/singer/keyboards---but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing...depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents...but that really doesn't make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS...which I have more of than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined, mostly political. Hopefully other nobodys will put their opinions on my site. But if you are a sombody...you're more than welcomed to help out. I will try to prove that sometimes nobody knows the answers, sometimes nobody cares, sometimes nobody wins, and most importantly...NOBODY is perfect. Please bear this in mind when you read my thoughts. I don't mean to offend nobody, it's all in good fun. | More from Joyanna Adams

Ok, I normally like reading your commentary, and even most of this one, but you really need to talk to someone who knows some engineering before spinning the theory that someone in the Clinton Administration planted bombs in the WTC.
I didn’t think the towers would come down that day, either, but after hearing about how the method of construction was different from other buildings in order to be able to get towers that high at the time, it makes sense that they collapsed from the heat. The steel portion of the building was just not thick enough to keep from deforming, which led to structural failure of the support structure.
People who like to claim that it was a controlled demolition and could not be anything else, just don’t understand how enormous masses change the way materials appear to work in real structures. Due to the incredible masses involved, there was literally no other way for the collapse to look, no matter the cause of it. It was just not possible for the tops of the towers to “topple over”, which appears to be what some people expected to happen if it was not demolition. If you watch the video closely, you can see that the top floors BEGAN to tilt, but then the strain on the other side broke it, too, and the whole thing came down.

Hello Joyanna!
First, I want to say it’s nice to see you. I wanted to email you and tell you to hang in there after a particularly heated debate on one of your articles. Most of the people I’ve debated against turn out to be quite pleasant in person.
Anyways, a few observations:
Vegas: My mother likes to gamble and my wife and I also like Vegas. We might do a half day of gambling not because we think that car up on the podium is ours, but rather for fun with $100 or even $200 budgeted for “entertainment”. At the same time, we get free drinks, cheap buffets and comps such as cheaper rooms and show tickets at times. Gambling profit margins are not as high as during the times of the mob. I’ve played the slots and found them hopelessly boring but some people think they’re fun. My wife enjoys the poker machines while I like to play the real thing.
Pity I didn’t know you were going. I could have told you of some of the fun, cheap things to do. But you’re right: The fru fru shops with $2,000 bags are mostly worthless for the middle class. But you have to go to old town or out of the strip a little for the bargains. Did you try Fremont?
About selling to the Chinese: We live in a global economy and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to lock out countries from buying things or just assembling themselves. For example: High resolutino imaging satellites that were prohibited from export in the states could be easily acquired in many other countries in Western Europe. So these regulations just hamstringed American manufacturers from exporting technologies that were on sale in other free markets.

Hey!…nice to be back!
To wblackburn…I have only recently in the last few days come to the conclusion that the buildings were detonated. For the last five years, I watched all the specials on TV…the countless engineers, architects, etc…the drawings showing the weakness in the elevators..etc…but there was always a bug in my eye. And put in perspective with the other events of the day…I still tend to lean toward what it was I saw. So, in trying to answer this, I decided to write more on it…I’m sure lots of us are confused..
As to globalization…of course we can’t stop that, BUT that doesn’t mean that our companies should have the right to arm countries that want to see us eliminated.
Of course, Ford motor company sold tanks and trucks to Hilter…it seems making money has come before patriotism many, many times before.
You may be right…I’m not engineer. But I ran into an article by Paul Craig Roberts.
First, I don’t care how hot that steel got, the second building fell withing the hour. Less than an hour. The buildings fell at free-fall speed, a fact that is inconsistent with the government’s “pancaking” theory in which debris from above collapsed the floors below. Anyway…accordingly to his aritlce “experts point out that the buildings giant steel skeletons comprised a massive heat sink that wicked away the heat from the limited short-lived fires, thus preventing a heat buildup.
I don’t remember actually saying Clinton was involved in 9/11, only that I wonder who was behind it.
And hey, Polish Knight…sounds like you know all the right moves in Las Vegas! And yes, we did make it to Freemont area, where you actually heard people win money!

“I don’t remember actually saying Clinton was involved in 9/11, only that I wonder who was behind it. ”
Ok, I took that to be an implication that the supposed explosives were planted LONG before 9/11 occurred, sorry about that.
“The buildings fell at free-fall speed…”
If you look at stills from the collapse, it shows the debris that was blown out at the beginning of the collapse to be below the collapsing section of the building. This is an indication that it did NOT come down at Free-Fall speed. If it did, they would have been beside each other.
“First, I don’t care how hot that steel got, the second building fell withing the hour. Less than an hour. ”
Ask a firefighter how long an hour is. Also, the WTC did not HAVE a “giant steel skeleton”; that is what I meant when I talked about the method of the construction. As I said above, “The steel portion of the building was just not thick enough to keep from deforming…”. It was also not enough of a heat sink to take away enough heat to keep from deforming the metal and destroying the structural integrity.
Again, a lot of people just don’t understand what the implications of that much mass are to the effects of deformations that we would barely think worthy of passing mention. However, you can get a sense of the type of collapse I mention from losing structural strength by standing on a pop can. If you’re careful, it will hold you indefinitely. However, if someone taps the side of the can, it will collapse instantly, because the structural integrity will be gone. This is what caused the collapse of the towers. And it took less time for the south tower because the impact was lower – it had that many more tons above the impact point pressing down.

Sorry, I should have included a link to some of the photos I’m talking about:
http://physics911.ca/gallery2/v/WTC2/collapse/
Look especially at the photo labeled, “wtc2_mill1″, and notice how far the tower tilted before going down.
Demolitions start at the bottom and the whole thing comes down at once (well, some start in one point and radiate out from there, but I mean that the top doesn’t start coming down before the lower floors, because of the possibility that the lower floors will deflect the top portion to somewhere that they don’t want it).
