9/11 CONSPIRACY: A WAKE UP CALL TO AMERICA

---

If we as a people refuse to demand truth and justice on a matter this grave, we will deserve our leaders' contempt and embolden them to further treachery. They and their predecessors have, after all, gotten away with the now documented lies of the Tonkin Resolution, the JFK and MLK assassinations, Iran-Contra, Flight 800, the Waco Davidian murders, the Pentagon's "missing" $2.2 trillion, etc, etc. without consequence. Why should they start worrying about what the "sovereign people" think now? We have to stand up and draw the line somewhere or we can kiss our hopes for security, solvency and democracy goodbye!!

9/11 Coincidences (Part One)

Three Burning Buildings - One Result

----------------------------


How much more evidence do we need before the government and mainstream media finally talks about this issue? By ignoring this issue, the government and media are just insulting our intelligence. 9/11 witnesses - who include fire crew, police officers and media reporters - heard and saw explosions going off inside the towers, long before they actually fell.
Many witnesses reported powerful explosions in the basements of the buildings long before they collapsed. Plus, controlled demolition experts agree that the collapses of the three buildings bear all of the hallmarks of a controlled demolition. For example, we see demolition "squibs" shooting out of the windows of the buildings before they started to collapse.

All three buildings collapsed at near freefall speed. Building 7, which wasn't hit by a plane and contained only small scattered fires, came down symmetrically in just 6-seconds. And 6-weeks after 9/11, liquified steel was found under the rubble of all three buildings and the temperature was still in excess of 1500F. Jet-fuel simply cannot burn hot enough to reach that sort of temperature. And many of the steel beams found in the rubble of the three buildings were cut diagonally - in exactly the same way as shaped-charges slice through steel diagonally to bring a building straight down. Sulfur residue was also found on the steel beams. Sulfur used with thermite is called thermate -- which produces even faster results than thermite, reaching temperatures of over 4,000F. We also see red-hot molten steel dripping from the windows of the towers prior to their collapse.


We really need to wake up to the facts and ask questions. If we don't, what does that say about us? If you haven't yet heard about this subject, please go to Google and find out about the melting point of steel, and about the maximum temperature that jet-fuel can reach, and about the use of thermate shaped-charges in controlled demolitions. Once you know these facts, you'll realize that those three buildings simply could NOT have collapsed in the way they did UNLESS they were brought down in a controlled demolition.

Bombs, explosions, secondary explosions, explosive devices....how many more times do we need to hear these words being said by 9/11 witnesses before we start asking questions about what really happened on that awful day?
These witnesses include fire crew, police officers and media reporters - who all heard and saw explosions going off inside the towers, long before they actually fell. Many witnesses reported powerful explosions in the basements of the buildings long before they collapsed.

1,000 Cameras and No Airplane!

----------------------------


I am not saying that the Pentagon wasn't hit by a plane on 9/11, however we have every right to be suspicious when we look at the facts. My gut feeling is that the Pentagon WAS hit by a plane, but I find it hard to believe that the plane was the Flight 77 Boeing 757 jet.
The Pentagon is the most guarded building on the planet, with countless CCTV cameras covering every part of the building both inside and out. Plus there are many establishments in the immediate area, such as gas stations, hotels, etc, that have CCTV cameras. Yet the US government refuses to release any images or video that actually shows a plane approaching the Pentagon on 9/11, let alone a Boeing 757.
Within minutes of the crash, the FBI confiscated CCTV footage from all of the establishments in the immediate area, and they refuse to show us any of that footage. The only images they have released were only released after years of demands under the Freedom of Information Act, and none of those images show an actual airplane. If a Boeing 757 really did hit the Pentagon then why not show us the footage? And what about the lack of any wreckage from a Boeing 757, and the lack of bodies, and the fact that the damage to the Pentagon wall is not consistent with what you'd expect if it had been hit by a Boeing 757 -- the hole is way too small for a start.
And if the alleged terrorists had wanted to wreak maximum damage, then why would they fly the plane into the only part of the Pentagon that had recently been re-inforced, and the only part of the Pentagon that housed the accountants who were looking into the disappearance of over a trillion dollars from the US economy? And in any case, the flight instructor of the alleged hijackers said that these people were useless at flying even the smallest aircraft, and yet we're expected to believe that they carried out an extremely difficult 360 degree manuever and managed to fly the Boeing just a few feet from the ground as it approached the Pentagon. Whichever way you want to look at it, this just doesn't quite add up, it's like trying to put a square peg into a round hole.

Part V:PNAC: "A New Pearl Harbor"

9/11 Coincidences (Part Five)

----------------------------

PNAC: "A New Pearl Harbor"

----------------------------



In 2,000, just before the republicans got back into the White House, a project set up by the neo-cons who now surround George W Bush, laid out its agenda for global domination in a document called the "Project for the New American Century". However, it stated that gaining public support for its aspirations would require a long process, UNLESS there was a catastrophic event like "a new Pearl Harbor". Its published aims have, alarmingly, come true.


If a group of people made a public statement saying that having a new Pearl Harbor would be the only way the public would support their agenda, and these same people were in positions that would allow them to conduct, permit or enable such an event when that event actually took place...would they deserve your suspicion? Well this is EXACTLY what happened. The very people with established motives for conducting an event like the one that took place on 9/11/2001 were responsible for national security when we had that most unlikely, unrealistic and implausible complete catastrophic failure of every single defense procedure in operation. Yet Americans look to these people for protection now.


The US military was running as many as 15 defense drills that day. Some of these drills were live fly hijacking simulations. Some of the drills were practicing for the possibility of having planes fly into government buildings. Could it be that someone decided that these drills would go live! Why have the corporate news media refused to report the drills to the public? Could it be because you would start asking REAL questions about that day? Well, it's time that you start asking questions because you may just be supporting the real terrorists!

Part VI:"ABLE DANGER" Terror Drills on 9/11


9/11 Coincidences (Part Six)

----------------------------

"ABLE DANGER" Terror Drills on 9/11

----------------------------


On the morning of September 11 2001, the US Defense Agencies had been running pre-planned simulations of terrorist attacks involving crashing planes into the WTC and Pentagon. The Bush administration described the event as "a bizarre coincidence". The matter was not mentioned by the media. True to form for false-flag terror attacks, it seems that these Military Drills were used as cover for the attack.


Webster Tarpley lays out a very convincing case that military drills were used as cover and pretext for the attacks of 9/11. Using drills, our own military resources were directed, in supposed practice attacks, which were 'flipped live' by moles working within the government. Using such drills, most of the fighter air cover of the US was redirected to Alaska and Canada. Other drills were used to inject dozens of false 'blips' onto FAA radar screens. Still other drills, ones using 'live fly' hijacked aircraft, were apparently 'flipped live' and the planes crashed into the towers under remote control.


The 'hijackers' are mere patsies, DOD controlled "red team" actors. The supposed 'hijackers' are essentially actors trained by the military and CIA to play the part of the "red team" in simulated terrorist drills. The now famous "Able Danger" program was most likely one half, the red half, of a hijack drill the other half being "Able Warrior."

WTC7 Implosion

Everyone remembers the Twin Towers exploding at 9:59AM and 10:28AM EDT on September 11, 2001. Comparatively few people can recall that there was a third massive skyscraper, also a part of the World Trade Center, which fell very rapidly to the ground on that day. This was World Trade Center Building 7. One reason that few remember WTC Building 7's collapse is that after September 11th it has been treated, both in the media and in The 9/11 Commission Report, as if it didn't happen.


The total collapse of the third huge skyscraper late in the afternoon September 11th was reported as if it were an insignificant footnote... most people never saw video of Building 7's collapse... Incredibly, it is virtually impossible to find any mention of Building 7 in newspapers, magazines, or broadcast media reports after September 11th."


The Commission avoids another embarrassing problem -- explaining how WTC 7 could have collapsed, also virtually at free-fall speed -- by simply not mentioning the collapse of this building.


The collapse of Building 7 at 5:20PM EDT was in itself a major event; the sudden and unexplained fall to earth of a 47-story steel-framed skyscraper is certainly news. Why has there been almost no mention of this in the US media, and why was there no mention of Building 7's collapse in The 9/11 Commission Report? These are questions of great significance, and they cry out for answers. To be able to approach any kind of explanation, however, first some pertinent and verified facts of the Building 7 aspect of 9/11 need to be scrutinized.


The fires in WTC 7 were very few and small, and certainly not evenly distributed, so a perfect collapse was impossible, yet it came down in perfect symmetry in just 6 seconds. WTC leaseholder Larry Silverstein said to the fire department commander "the smartest thing to do is pull it." Firefighters withdrawing from the area stated the building was going to "blow up". The roof of WTC 7 visibly crumbled and the building collapsed perfectly into its footprint. Molten steel and partially evaporated steel members were found in the debris.


There can be only one conclusion as to what happened to WTC 7 - it was demolished.
Silverstein Properties made billions from the insurance policies he set up on the WTC complex just a few weeks before 9/11. He specifically took out insurance policies to cover terrorist attacks, then a few weeks later 9/11 happened. What are the odds on that?

9/11 Mysteries

Did the World Trade Center towers undergo a deliberate "power-down" on the weekend prior to the 9-11 terrorist attacks? According to Scott Forbes, a senior database administrator for Fiduciary Trust, Inc. -- a high-net investment bank which was later acquired by Franklin Templeton -- this is precisely what took place. Forbes, who was hired by Fiduciary in 1999 and is now stationed at a U.K. branch office, was working on the weekend of September 8-9, 2001, and said that his company was given three weeks advance notice that New York's Port Authority would take out power in the South Tower from the 48th floor up. The reason: the Port Authority was performing a cabling upgrade to increase the WTC's computer bandwidth. However, there seems to be no logical reason why the electricity need be shut down in order to upgrade computer bandwidth.


The Fiduciary Trust was one of the WTC's first occupants after it was erected, and a "power-down" had never been initiated prior to this occasion. Forbes also stated that his company put forth a huge investment in time and resources to take down their computer systems due to the deliberate power outage. This process, Forbes recalled, began early Saturday morning (September 8th) and continued until mid-Sunday afternoon (September 9th) -- approximately 30 hours.
As a result of having its electricity cut, the WTC's security cameras were rendered inoperative, as were its I.D. systems, and elevators to the upper floors. Forbes states that there were plenty of engineers going in-and-out of the WTC who had free access throughout the building due to its security system being knocked out.


Even though these disclosures could jeopardize his current employment, Forbes has stepped forward because, "I have mailed this information to many people, including the 9/11 Commission, but no one seems to be registering these facts."

The 9/11 Commission: See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil!

----------------------------

This version has now been updated. Please see Part Ten - 2nd Cut, uploaded 6th Sept 2007. Here is the link:

Part 10, 2nd Cut

The Kean Commission (9/11 Commission) was created only after 14 months of pressure from September 11 victims' families, who for their efforts at first got the failed nomination by George Bush of Henry Kissinger as chairman. He declined, but the Commission consisted of appointees with obvious conflicts of interest, and was seriously underfunded ($14 million as opposed to the $67 million devoted to investigating Clinton's stray member or $30 million for the space shuttle disaster). Its work was met with resistance from the White House. Bush met with the Commission only on the condition that he be questioned in the Oval Office, jointly with Cheney, and off the record.


The 9/11 Commission Report was noteworthy in the fact that it didn't blame anyone for 9/11. Not one person has lost his job because 9/11 happened; even though high-ranking witness after high-ranking witness to the Commission described blunders and missed opportunities leading up the attacks. Why did the Commission do that?
Many of the 9/11 widows are unhappy with the findings and many people have called it a whitewash, since it failed to seriously examine virtually every fact supporting complicity of the US administration.
It ignored the PNAC document, the links between the CIA and Bin Laden, the links between the Bush family and Bin Laden, the links between the CIA and Mohammed Atta, the terror drill exercises that were taking place in the week of 9/11, the collapse of building 7, the molten steel found under the rubble of towers 1, 2 and 7, the evidence of the use of thermite and sulfur, the witness reports of repeated explosions throughout the towers, the lack of flying skills previously displayed by the alleged hijackers, Silverstein's $7 billion insurance payout, the insider trading before 9/11, the mysterious power downs and evacuations at the WTC prior to 9/11, and the fact that the Bin Laden family were allowed to leave the US just after 9/11 while every US citizen was grounded. The list just goes on and on and on.


It is up to us, the people, to get some answers. Please write to your congressman to demand a proper INDEPENDENT investigation into 9/11.

Guilty Demeanor

----------------------------


This video takes a look at the guilty demeanor displayed by George W Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and others with regard to the events of 9/11. If you were the president of the United States, and an attack on the scale of 9/11 took place on your watch, wouldn't you immediately do everything you could to ensure that there was a thorough investigation into what happened? Wouldn't you make sure that the investigation was started up straight away, and that it was headed by independent people who left no stone unturned?
Wouldn't you make sure that the investigation was given all the funding it needed? We know that the Bush administration did everything in its power to derail an open inquiry into 9/11.
Then, when faced with its inevitability, the president and his aides sought to limit its scope, its access, and its funding. In addition, the odd behaviour displayed by the White House with regard to 9/11, would surely make them prime suspects on anyone's list.

Part XIV:The BUSH-LADEN Connection (continued)

9/11 Coincidences (Part Fourteen)

----------------------------

The BUSH-LADEN Connection (continued)

----------------------------


There is a long and tangled history between the Bush family and the elite of Saudi Arabia, including the bin Laden family. It begins in the 1970's in Houston, Texas, when George W. Bush was just starting out in his family's two businesses of politics and oil. The powerful - and very rich - bin Laden family helped fund his first venture into oil.
The cozy friendship continued for decades. After a terrorist attack at a barracks in Saudi Arabia which killed 19 Americans, the bin Laden family received a multi-billion dollar contract to re-build.
And incredibly, George Bush Sr. was in a business meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington on the morning of September 11th with one of Osama bin Laden's brothers. While serving as governor of Texas, George W. Bush met with high-level Al Qaeda leaders, hoping to get support to build a pipeline across Afghanistan. Four months into his presidency, he rewarded the Taliban by handing over $43 million in May 2001, only four months before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.


All airlines in the United States were grounded for two days after 9/11. Yet, on September 13, 2001, the White House authorized six Saudi jets to fly bin Laden family members from America to Saudi Arabia. The members of the bin Laden family were never questioned by United States authorities. Judicial Watch called for George Herbert Bush to resign from the Carlyle Group, when it became known that Osama bin Laden was a major investor in the firm.
(Judicial Watch, March 5, 2001) After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman said, "This conflict of interest has now turned into a scandal. The idea of President George W Bush's father, an ex-president himself, doing business with a company under investigation by the FBI in the terror attacks of September 11 is horrible. President Bush should not ask, but demand, that his father pull out of the Carlyle Group." (Judicial Watch, September 28, 2001)

TIM OSMAN: The Perfect Manufactured Enemy

----------------------------


Please stop for a moment and ask yourself this question: What do you REALLY know about Osama Bin Laden? If you get all of your news from the corporate mainstream media, your answer would probably be that Bin Laden is some nasty terrorist from the middle east who used 19 Islamic extremist hijackers to bring down the twin towers. But if you get your news from a wider range of sources, your opinion would be somewhat different.
For example, did you know that Bin Laden has worked with the CIA since the 1970's under the CIA codename - Tim Osman? Did you know that the CIA funded Bin Laden's operations from the very start? Did you know that the Bin Laden family is the second wealthiest family from Saudi Arabia, and the Bin Laden Corporation is one of the wealthiest corporations in the middle east? Did you know that the Bin Laden family and the Bush family have been business partners for over 3 decades? Did you know that on the morning of 9/11, Bush senior was at a meeting with the Bin Laden family in Washington? Did you know that over 180 members of the Bin Laden family were airlifted out of the USA between September 11th and September 13th 2001, whilst every US citizen was grounded?
The list goes on and on and on. Make no mistake, Osama Bin Laden is a misguided and criminally-minded individual. However we cannot ignore the fact that the Bin Laden family has such close ties with the Bush family, and we cannot ignore the fact that Osama Bin Laden is a CIA asset. For our own peace of mind, these issues should have been investigated by the 9/11 Commission, but they weren't.
The fact that none of this information was mentioned in the 9/11 Commission report is highly suspicious. And the fact that the corporate mainstream media has hardly reported on any of these matters is also highly suspicious. In order to put the matter to bed once and for all, it is high-time the American public demanded a proper independent investigation into the events of 9/11. And whatever the outcome of that investigation, at least we can then all move on.

9/11 Coincidences (Part Sixteen)

----------------------------

Fake Hijackers

----------------------------


We've been told again and again that 19 Islamic hijackers took over the 4 aircraft used on 9/11. But the passenger manifests from the airlines didn't contain any Arabic passenger names. Not to worry. The FBI corrected this little problem. The FBI's passenger manifests conveniently have about a half dozen more people on each plane than the airline's manifests. But then, there is another little problem with the FBI's version of the story.
Amazingly, within a couple of days, the FBI knew who all the hijackers were. Names, pictures, everything we needed to know about them. Some of them were names of people known to be still living in Arab countries or known to have already been dead before 9/11.
Just how did the FBI figure out who these alleged hijackers were so quickly when the physical evidence (their bodies) was well shredded and buried in mountains of rubble. Were there really any hijackers at all? Was there some other means to accomplish the control of those ill-fated flights? Is the whole story of the hijackers a concerted media spin effort to conceal the real people, and their goals, behind the terror of 9/11?


We must remember the historical conduct of our main source for our current information/misinformation. The FBI has been exposed for operating an evidence manufacturing laboratory which has been used to concoct evidence and fraudulently convict innocent Americans.
The FBI is responsible for truckloads of lost or missing documents and countless bungled investigations, especially when the investigations begin to reveal that those within government are responsible for criminal activity. They continue to possess 22 high quality video surveillance tapes collected from cameras which recorded the Oklahoma City bombing.
The FBI still refuses to release the tapes, even though the federal law enforcement agency has been court ordered to do so. And what about the 80 surveillance tapes which recorded the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon? Experience has shown the FBI can't be trusted with the truth. With the FBI's previous history of either manufacturing, falsifying or destroying evidence in critical, high profile cases, aren't these passenger manifest discrepancies, which led to the quick identification of the 19 alleged Arabic culprits of 9/11, a little suspicious?

2 dead in Canada hot air balloon fire

A hot air balloon's basket bursts into flames shortly after takeoff when it was about 25 feet off the ground in Surrey British Colombia Canada Friday evening Aug. 24, 2007. Witnesses said passengers screamed and jumped to the ground. The balloon reportedly took off from a grassy field with 12 passengers. The balloon crashed in a trailer park and campground , injuring as many as 11 people, police and local reports said. Two additional people were unaccounted for. (AP Photo/Don Randall)

By Jeremy Hainsworth, Associated Press Writer | August 26, 2007

VANCOUVER, British Columbia --A hot air balloon burst into flames over western Canada, burning a woman and her adult daughter to death while their families looked on, officials said Saturday. Other passengers leaped to the ground, some with their clothes in flames, witnesses said.

Eleven passengers were seriously injured when the balloon crashed Friday evening in a recreational vehicle park near the U.S border in Surrey, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver. There were 12 passengers and a pilot on board, police and witnesses said.

John Kageorge, who works for Fantasy Balloon Charters, said the fire started as the balloon was about to launch. Kageorge said three passengers did not get out of the basket before it became airborne.

"One person jumped from an unsafe distance, two stories in the air or more," said Kageorge. The mother and daughter did not jump, he said, although two of their family members made it out of the basket.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Roger Morrow confirmed the deaths and said relatives of the two passengers killed witnessed the fire.

"It's just tragic. They watched it unfold before their eyes," Morrow said of the family. "The fatalities suffered from burns."

The balloon caught fire as it prepared to launch, said Bill Yearwood, an investigator with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

"The crew loaded 12 passengers and was preparing to launch when a fire erupted. The pilot asked the passengers to get out of the basket," he said. "The balloon was tethered at the time, but then broke and came loose," he added.


"They were all trying to get out."

After most of the passengers escaped, the balloon exploded in a fireball and shot up into the air. Shortly after, the burning balloon plunged to ground in the RV park, leaving a tail of thick black smoke in its wake.


"I can't tell you what exactly happened when the balloon was loosened from the tether," Yearwood said. "We will be talking to attending crew members and the pilot to find out."


He said the pilot was in stable condition.


"The thing went up about 400 feet in the air at which point it melted enough of the balloon -- it collapsed," said Don Randall, a resident of the trailer park who took pictures of the scene. "The basket was basically a fireball. It just dropped like a stone," he added.


"I'm just thinking, 'Oh geez, I hope there's nobody in that thing. It's basically a burning death up there,'" he said.

Smoke could be seen billowing from the crash site from miles away.

Another resident, Karen Ashby, held back tears while she explained how she watched the coroner sift through the blackened wreckage.

"They found the bodies in here," Ashby said. "I watched them take them out."

The cause of the accident was not immediately known. Weather conditions were clear at the time of the sunset flight.

"People were screaming and trying to get out," Frank Hersey said Friday night near a grassy field where several of the injured were being attended to by ambulance crews.

Perry Kendall said he saw what looked like something out of a movie.

"It was horrifying," said a shaken Kendall. "Just looking at people screaming and jumping out of there. Some of them, I think, had fire on their clothes. It was just awful."

Witnesses also said propane tanks from the balloon shot off and landed on the Hazelmere RV park below, setting fire to three trailers and several vehicles. No one was reported hurt in those blazes.

"We're exceptionally lucky that nobody in any of these three trailers or in the vehicles that were destroyed were caught in them," Morrow said.

The hot-air balloon, operated by Fantasy Balloons Charters based in Langley, British Columbia, was one of several balloons in flight at the time. The balloon that burned, Kageorge said, was about nine stories high.

There was a similar accident earlier this month in the central Canadian province of Manitoba, Manitoba, where 12 people were injured.

Vick Suspended Indefinitely Without Pay

Micheal Vick Suspended Indefinitely Without Pay

For all the big words and life lessons Roger Goodell included in his booming reaction to Michael Vick's admission of involvement in dogfighting, the NFL commissioner's message seemingly could have been whittled to two words: Nice try.

Goodell suspended the Atlanta Falcons quarterback indefinitely without pay Friday, just hours after Vick filed a plea agreement that portrayed him as less involved than three co-defendants and guilty mainly of poor judgment for associating with them.

In a letter to Vick, Goodell admonished him for ''reprehensible'' acts and for associating with people engaged in gambling in violation of NFL rules. He also rebuked him for seemingly trying to paint himself as something other than the ringleader.

''You are now justifiably facing consequences for the decisions you made and the conduct in which you engaged. Your career, freedom and public standing are now in the most serious jeopardy,'' Goodell wrote. ''I hope that you will be able to learn from this difficult experience and emerge from it better prepared to act responsibly and to make the kinds of choices that are expected of a conscientious and law abiding citizen.''

Vick acknowledged bankrolling gambling on the dogfights, but denied placing bets himself or taking any of the winnings. He admitted that dogs not worthy of the pit were killed ''as a result of the collective efforts'' of himself and two co-defendants.

Goodell decided not to wait until Monday, when U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson in Richmond, Va., formally receives the plea and schedules a sentencing likely to land Vick in prison for one to five years.

The commissioner said Vick's admitted conduct was ''not only illegal but also cruel and reprehensible.'' Even if he didn't personally place bets, Goodell said, ''your actions in funding the betting and your association with illegal gambling both violate the terms of your NFL player contract and expose you to corrupting influences in derogation of one of the most fundamental responsibilities of an NFL player.''

Goodell freed the Falcons to ''assert any claims or remedies'' to recover $22 million of Vick's signing bonus from the 10-year, $130 million contract he signed in 2004.

The commissioner didn't speak to Vick but based his decision on the court filings. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Goodell might meet with Vick in the future, and Goodell said he would review the suspension after all the legal proceedings.

''You have engaged in conduct detrimental to the welfare of the NFL and have violated the league's personal conduct policy,'' Goodell told Vick in a letter after meeting in New York with Falcons president and general manager Rich McKay.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank supported Goodell's decision.

''We hope that Michael will use this time, not only to further address his legal matters, but to take positive steps to improve his personal life,'' Blank said.

Nike, meanwhile, terminated its contract with Vick.

Earlier Friday, a ''summary of facts'' signed by Vick and his lawyers was filed along with his written plea agreement on a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge.

''While Mr. Vick is not personally charged with or responsible for committing all of the acts alleged in the indictment, as with any conspiracy charge, he is taking full responsibility for his actions and the actions of the others involved,'' the defense team said in a written statement after the plea agreement was filed.

''Mr. Vick apologizes for his poor judgment in associating himself with those involved in dog fighting and realizes he should never have been involved in this conduct,'' the statement said.

Vick and his lawyers said his involvement was limited when it came to the enterprise known as the Bad Newz Kennels.

''Our position has been that we are going to try to help Judge Hudson understand all the facts and Michael's role,'' Vick's defense attorney, Billy Martin, said in telephone interview. ''Michael's role was different than others associated with this incident.''

In court papers, Vick said he provided most of the Bad Newz Kennels operation and gambling monies, echoing language in plea agreements by the three co-defendants -- Tony Taylor, Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips.

When the dogs won, the statement said, gambling proceeds were generally shared by Taylor, Peace and Phillips.

''Vick did not gamble by placing side bets on any of the fights. Vick did not receive any of the proceeds of the purses that were won by Bad Newz Kennels,'' the court document said.

According to the statement, Vick also was involved with the others in killing six to eight dogs that did not perform well in testing sessions in April. The dogs were executed by drowning or hanging.

''Vick agrees and stipulates that these dogs all died as a result of the collective efforts'' of Vick, Phillips and Peace, the statement said.

In the plea agreement, the government committed to recommending a sentence on the low end of the federal sentencing guideline range of a year to 18 months. However, the conspiracy charge is punishable by up to five years in prison, and the judge is not bound by any recommendation or by the guidelines.

Hudson has a reputation for imposing stiff sentences, according to lawyers who have appeared in his court. The judge will set a sentencing date at Monday's hearing.

Martin said Vick will ''speak to the public and explain his actions.'' Though he declined to say when and where, the Tom Joyner Morning Show, a syndicated program based in Dallas, said it will have a live interview with Vick on Tuesday.

The case began in April when authorities conducting a drug investigation of Vick's cousin raided a Surry County property owned by Vick and found dozens of dogs, some injured, and equipment commonly used in dogfighting.

A federal indictment issued in July charged Vick, Peace, Phillips and Taylor with an interstate dogfighting conspiracy. Vick initially denied any involvement, and all four men pleaded innocent. The three co-defendants later pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against Vick.

Taylor was the first to change his plea, saying Vick financed the dogfighting ring's gambling and operations. Peace and Phillips soon followed, alleging that Vick joined them in killing dogs that did not measure up in test fights.

The sickening details outlined in the indictment and other court papers prompted a public backlash against Vick, who had been one of the NFL's most popular players.

Animal-rights groups mobilized against Vick -- even protesting at NFL headquarters in New York -- and sponsors dropped him.

''It is fitting that the NFL has suspended him,'' said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States. ''He's now a role model for something terrible, and it's not appropriate that he suit up in an NFL uniform.''

The Book of Life

God Bless My Friend,

Jesus said every idle word that men (mankind)
would speak and every evil deed they would do,
they would have to give an account for in the
day of judgment.

Because of their words and deeds, they would be
either condemned or rewarded.
Jesus meant to notify the mankind that someday
they would have to meet their words and deeds
in judgment and answer to God for them.
(Matthew 12:36,37; John 12:48,2
;2 Corinthians 5:10: Revelation 22:12).

How the Lord keeps record the Bible does not reveal,
but it will be an accurate record. It will be finale.

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;
and the books were opened; and another book was opened,
which is THE BOOK OF LIFE; and the dead were judged out
of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works....
And whosoever was not found written in the BOOK OF LIFE
was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:12,15)

God

is...

1. OMNISCIENT (knowing all things),


2. OMNIPOTENT (unlimited in power), and


3. OMNIPRESENT (present everywhere)!


"For the Word of God is quick, and powerful,
and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even
to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest
in his sight: but all things are naked and opened
unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do."
(Hebrews 4:12,13)

Since the Lord is going to judge even the thoughts
mankind has and the attitudes of the heart,
He surely is not going to overlook light-mindedness,
jesting, and foolish talking.
As well,
4. taking the name of God in vain,

profanity,
6. fornication,
7. adultery,
8. stealing,
9. murder,


10. idolatry,
11. witchcraft,
12. hypocrisy,
13. indifference,


14. anger,
15. hatred,
16. reveling,
17. drunkenness,
18. emulation,


19. uncleanness,
20. lasciviousness,
strife,
21. sedition,


22. heresies,
envying, disobedience to parents,
love of self, unholiness, covetousness, boasting,
pride, blasphemy,unthankfulness, unnatural affections,
truce breaking, false accusing, incontinence and fierceness.
All these sins are a ABOMINATION to God.

As well, despising of those that are good, highmindedness,
loving pleasure more than God, denying the power of God,
counting the blood of Christ as unholy, socery, lying,
and dishonesty will as well be judged!
(Galatians 5:19-21; 2 Timothy 3:2-5; Revelation 21:8)

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad"
(2 Corinthians 5:10)

"And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
ungodly and the sinner appear?" (1 Peter 4:18)

God knows our thoughts afarr;
we are as an open book before Him.

"Come, see a man (Jesus), which told me all things
that ever I did.." (John 4:29)

To have one's name written in the Book of Life,
we must accept the invitation of Jesus.
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).

All "mankind" have sinned before God in one way or another.
(Romans 5:12)

All mankind needs a Saviour.
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily,
I say unto thee, Except a man be born again (from above),
he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3)
"Except ye be converted, and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven"
(Matthew 18:3)
.

Jesus invites everyone to come unto Him and
be saved from sin!
Whom He forgives, He accepts as His child,
and if a child, then an heir of God.
(Galatians 4:7)

To keep our names secure in the Book of Life,
Jesus says, "Behold, I come quickly; hold that fast
which thou hast, that no man take thy crown"
(Revelation 3:11)


The Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthian believers,
(1 Corinthians 16:13)..
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,
quit you like men, be strong."


THIS IS THE DAY OF GRACE.....

The time to set YOUR house in order to be
ready for the reckoning, or Judgment Day!
Your mortal body will soon return to dust or,
if we witness His appearing, will be transformed
to an immortal body as the Scriptures teach.
You should be careful to


GUARD YOUR THOUGHTS, WORDS, AND ACTIONS!



"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened,
that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy,
that it cannot hear" (Isaiah 59:1).

If there is ANY STAIN ON YOUR HEART,
LET YOU GO TO JESUS TO HAVE IT WASHED (FORGIVEN)!!
Then YOU may be clothed in white to be ready to
enter the glorious Heaven above on that great and notable day.

"And there shall in no wise enter into it any
thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie; but they which are written
in the LAMB's BOOK OF LIFE" (Revelation 21:27)

10 Classic Online Dating Mistakes That Women Make

10 Classic Online Dating Mistakes That Women Make
Avoid these and you'll boost your success rate considerably

---

By Evan Marc Katz.

---

For every valuable tip out there on how to date online, there are probably two mistakes to avoid. Keep away from the 10 listed here and you'll boost your success rate considerably.

1. Mistake #10: Thinking That Your Great Date Actually Meant Something

Have you ever had a man say how much he likes you, how sexy you are, and how he's serious about finding a long-term relationship? Ever have an amazing date where the chemistry was great, the conversation flowed, and you hooked up with him afterwards?
Have you ever had a man do all of these things and then NOT call?
No, you're not crazy or delusional.
Your mistake is thinking that what a man says on a date actually means something.
Your mistake is thinking that what a man says on a date actually means something. It doesn't. It means he's being in the moment. So don't put too much weight on a great date. The only way you can tell how a man REALLY feels about you is by how quickly he follows up for another date.


2. Mistake #9: Ignoring Your Own Intuition

How many times have you been across a table from some guy, wishing that you'd rather be anywhere else on earth? How many times have you felt deceived, angered, manipulated, or just plain turned off by the man in front of you?
Now, how many times have you considered that it was actually your fault that he was sitting there? I'm not blaming you. I've been there myself. But the common denominator in all your bad dates is not the awful men themselves, but YOU. If you find yourself losing hope that there are any great guys out there, do yourself a favor and only go out with men who truly interest you. Instead of meeting total strangers, filter out men by email and phone. This strategy will prevent most bad dates before they happen.


3. Mistake #8: Waiting for Men to Write You First

Have you ever sat in front of your computer, reading emails from losers, and asked yourself why the winners never write to you? You look at your favorites list and wish you could say hi to them, but you know better. It's tradition: men approach women. And you wouldn't want to come across as desperate. After all, what guy wants a woman who's so needy that she has to write to him first?
Actually, all men do. We love it.
If you have a good photo, an original profile and you write a confident email, most guys will drop everything they're doing to talk to you.
If you have a good photo, an original profile and you write a confident email, most guys will drop everything they're doing to talk to you.

4. Mistake #7: Expecting Him to Tell the Truth in His Profile

You don't like to be lied to. Nobody does. And once you've gone out with a man who claimed to be 5'9" but is really 5'5", it's hard to keep dating. But haven't you ever done the same thing? The typical woman exaggerates her height by one inch and lowers her weight by 20 pounds. And it's not just a coincidence that the most popular ages for women on dating sites are 29, 39, 44 and 49.
You want to be given a chance. You don't want to be judged before you meet. And you're insecure that telling the truth won't get you in the door against younger, thinner women. So if there are good reasons why an honest woman might be tempted to misrepresent herself, wouldn't it make sense that an honest man might be tempted to do the same thing?


5. Mistake #6: Thinking You're Now Dating the Man You've Met Online

Have you ever gone on an amazing date and saw that he was online right afterwards? Have you ever emailed a man who seemed interested then suddenly disappeared? Have you ever gotten intimate with a man who never called again?
You're not alone. All of these things are common in the world of online dating. So instead of taking it as a personal rejection each time a man comes and goes, take a step back. Think of all the guys who have written to you that you weren't interested in. Imagine all of them taking it personally. It's ridiculous. It's easy to forget how many choices men have. It's easy to forget how many other women they're contacting. And if you think that you're exclusive with every new guy that gets you excited, you're in for a lot of disappointment.


6. Mistake #5: Meeting for a Coffee Date to Save Time

Have you ever spent a month getting to know someone online and discovered on the date that they were a real-life dud? I have. I remember vowing not to waste that kind of time on a stranger ever again. You probably did, too. You probably started meeting guys right away to make sure that you had that "in-person chemistry." And at some point, on your tenth (or twentieth) bad date, you probably asked yourself, "Why do I even bother?"



*NOTE*:Online dating is NOT about meeting men as quickly as possible.



Online dating is NOT about meeting men as quickly as possible. Moving quickly means there is no screening. There is no getting-to-know-you process. You might as well have cute men at a bar pick a number to meet you. The ONLY way to enjoy online dating is by going out with fewer men. It's far better to go on one comfortable date on a Friday night than five blind coffee dates during the week.



7. Mistake #4: Expecting That You'll Succeed Online Because You're a Catch
8. 
   You're sweet. You're fun. You're attractive. You have no trouble meeting men in real life. You figure that with all your good qualities, online dating should be a piece of cake. Except that's not how it's worked out. The only guys contacting you look like they've been let out of jail or a retirement home. There have to be better men out there. Then how come they aren't writing?
   Simple. Any man who you think is a great catch has hundreds of options. And when a guy has that many choices, he's often going to search for younger women. Why? Because he can. So forget these guys and their unrealistic Playboy fantasies. Mr. Right is the man who wants YOU. Focus your attentions on the men who are searching for you, instead of the ones who aren't, and you'll have far greater success.
   
   
9. Mistake #3: Trying to Stop the "Wrong" Men From Writing to You

Have you ever had a profile that just seemed to attract all the wrong men? You want a man who is attractive, successful and honest, and all you get are ugly unemployed guys who lie about their height. So, to stop them from wasting your time, you decide to spell it out in your profile: "If you're over the age of 50, live in another state, or have a substance abuse problem, don't even bother writing". And yet they STILL keep on contacting you! What can you possibly do to stop these annoying men who can't read?
Nothing. Ignore them. But don't try to stop them. After all, if you have any standards, most of your emails are going to be from the "wrong" guys. That's okay. They're allowed to write to you. And you're allowed to delete their email. As a quality woman, you're going to get all sorts of men who are interested in you. Your job isn't to scare away the bad guys, it's to attract the good ones. And profiles with negative warnings to the "wrong" men only make YOU sound bad.


10. Mistake #2: Signing Up for a One-Month Subscription

Even though you know how difficult it is to find a soul mate, you signed up for a one-month subscription on a dating site. One month! You're going to fall in love before you get your next phone bill! Clearly, you've created an unrealistic timetable. So while you may not want to date online forever, you're shortchanging yourself if you act as if you have only 30 days to find a husband. Remind yourself why you started dating online -- it's hard to meet people in real life and quitting is not an option.


11. Mistake #1: Searching for the Right Dating Site

If a girlfriend told you that her biggest problem in losing weight was that she couldn't find the right gym, you'd probably shake your head. You know that it's not the gym but your friend's dedication to using the gym that makes all the difference. Yet you may think that you can cure your dating blues just by choosing the right website. Newsflash: ANY website with lots of single men can be the right website; your success is ultimately determined by how you use that site.
You can useYahoo! to search all day long to find a place that is populated with tall, honest, successful men. But at the end of the day, it's not the site that will determine your fate. It's you. The question is how committed you are to turning yourself into a success story.

These guys are just protesting.., there goes your american rights. I see this as a huge turning point in society today, we were once allowed to protest what we feel needed change. with this right taken away from us, governments can do as the please. Not different to bush, leading his own personal army for his own personal cause. this is the beginning of the end.

The Murder of Sean Bell
Sean Bell

1. Police taser a UCLA student 11 times because he did not have his ID.

2. Houston Police trammel peaceful striking janitorial workers with horses - injuring 4 strikers, one of which was 82 years old.

3. Atlanta Undercover Police raid [the]wrong house in middle of the night and kill a 92 year old woman [whose only crime is trying to defend her home against unknown raiders.]

4. NYPD shoot 50 times into a car killing the groom and injuring 2 friends that were out enjoying a bachelor party.

All of these events happened within the last week. There is no telling how many other police abuse events took place this week unreported. I think the debate is over. Looks to me like those in authority have already started the war on the American people.

(1) Detroit Pistons (3-2) at (5) Chicago Bulls (2-3), 8 p.m.

(Sports Network) - The Chicago Bulls try to force a Game 7 against the Detroit Pistons in their Eastern Conference semifinals series, as the teams battle tonight at the United Center.

After dropping the first three games of the series, Chicago has come back to win the last two contests. No team in NBA history has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven set.

On Tuesday, Ben Gordon scored 28 points as the fifth-seeded Bulls moved halfway to NBA history by pounding the top-seeded Pistons, 108-92, in Game 5 at the The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Luol Deng had 20 points and Kirk Hinrich ended with 17 points and 13 assists for the Bulls, who staved off elimination for a second straight game and shot 57.3 percent from the field, including an incredible 72.2 percent in the first half.

Chauncey Billups finished with 17 points in the loss to Chicago for the Pistons. Richard Hamilton contributed 16 points, while Rasheed Wallace netted 15 for Detroit, which shot 42.3 percent from the floor in defeat.

Three teams have forced a seventh game after dropping the first three of a best-of-seven series. Portland did it against Dallas in the first round of the 2003 playoffs, Denver versus Utah in the 1994 conference semifinals and the Knicks in the 1951 finals against Rochester.

If necessary, Game 7 is scheduled for Monday at The Palace.

The Pistons, who swept No. 8 Orlando in the opening round of the postseason, have won nine of their last 10 Game 6s in the postseason. Detroit, which has made it to at least the conference semifinals for a sixth straight year, has appeared in the East finals four straight years.

Chicago has lost two straight Games 6s. The Bulls swept the fourth-seeded Miami Heat in round one of the postseason.

There is a lot of playoff history between Chicago and Detroit. This is the sixth time these clubs have battled in the postseason. The Pistons have won three of the five series.

Chicago eliminated the Pistons in seven games in the 1974 Western
