Up to what? Secrecy! Last week several US Senators traveled to Mexico City to Meet President Calderon of Mexico to discuss the 'Merida Initiative' described as the most important step since NAFTA. We all know how that went! Most important step towards what? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Integration with Mexico of course, and giving away more of our tax dollars to Mexico to the tune of another 1.4 billion. Meanwhile, they are putting US Border Patrol in prison for doing their jobs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That money needs to spent on this side of the border as it is now in a state of emergency! Will they never wake up? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why wasn't this reported in the MSM?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;copy &amp;amp; paste to read all about it: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.lagunajournal.com/secret_merida_initiative.htm &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://mexidata.info/id1638.html &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;email Grassley here and tell him to vote no on giving more of the US Treasury to a corrupt foreign nation: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://grassley.senate.gov/public/ &lt;br /&gt;</description></item><item><title>July 24 election</title><link>http://cs.gazetteonline.com/forums/1843/ShowPost.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:23:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ae12948-e881-4184-9922-c991840b0ffd:1843</guid><dc:creator>howard</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>The voting machine at Francis Marion Schol in Marion was not working at 7AM.&amp;nbsp; At least one voter left unsure if his vote would be counted or not because he couldn't wait.&amp;nbsp; I used the touch screen unit which worked after the card was inserted the second time.&amp;nbsp; I don't think the election workers get enough hand on experience to make them comfortable with the systems.&amp;nbsp; Howard</description></item><item><title>September 11th - False Flag</title><link>http://cs.gazetteonline.com/forums/1367/ShowPost.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Mar 2007 20:19:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ae12948-e881-4184-9922-c991840b0ffd:1367</guid><dc:creator>rugbyzhg</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;P&gt;See the link below for a Request for Correction to the NIST reports on the WTC tower collapses.&amp;nbsp; Dr. Judy Wood and Morgan Reynolds are seeking RFCs concerning the false science used in the reports of the plane impacts and the disintegration of the towers.&amp;nbsp; Please give these a look and the website by Dr. Wood that outlines her research on what actually did happen at the WTC complex that day.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;

&lt;P&gt;CONTACT: Dr. Judy Wood or Attorney Jerry Leaphart 203-825-6265&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;For Immediate Release: &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;HR align=left&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Basic Facts:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A Request for Correction (RFC) submitted under the Data Quality Act (DQA) was filed with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on March 16, 2007&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;NIST acknowledged receipt of RFC in writing on March 19, 2007, via its Acting Chief of Management and Organization Division, Stephen Willett.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;RFC challenges the integrity of NIST document &lt;A href="http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1CollapseofTowers.pdf"&gt;NCSTAR 1&lt;/A&gt; (National Construction Safety Team Advisory Committee), Report on the Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers, issued in September 2005&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;See &lt;A href="http://wtc.nist.gov/reports_october05.htm"&gt;www.wtc.nist.gov&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A full copy of the RFC filed by DR. Wood can be viewed at&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/NIST_RFC.html"&gt;http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/NIST_RFC.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;HR&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Dr. Judy Wood (with degrees in Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, and Materials Engineering Science), widely acknowledged as the leading proponent of the theory that Directed Energy Weapons (&lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsAppendix2.html"&gt;DEW&lt;/A&gt;) were used to destroy the World Trade Center (WTC) complex, has filed a Request for Correction under the Data Quality Act with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), located in Gaithersburg, MD.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Dr. Wood is represented in this effort by Attorney Jerry Leaphart, a Connecticut-based trial lawyer, who states that NIST now has 60 days to respond to the RFC. After that, an appeal can be taken and/or other legal action may then follow.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Leaphart further states that Dr. Wood knows that the implications of her theory that &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsAppendix2.html"&gt;DEW&lt;/A&gt; were used to destroy the WTC complex shatter certain key beliefs that Americans as a whole cherish and hold dear. Her theory has generated a lot of interest and commentary within the 9/11 Truth Movement that relies primarily upon the Internet as its media source. Mainstream print and broadcast media do not cover the 9/11 Truth Movement, but may need to take heed of this administrative action filed by Dr. Wood, according to Attorney Leaphart.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Leaphart said that to his knowledge, only three RFCs concerning NIST's WTC report have been filed to date. One by Dr. Morgan Reynolds, another by Edward F. Haas and the one filed by Dr. Wood. All three are currently pending.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The 43 page RFC filed by Wood asserts that the basic integrity of &lt;A href="http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1CollapseofTowers.pdf"&gt;NCSTAR 1&lt;/A&gt; is lacking because, by its own admission, it did not investigate the actual destruction of the World Trade Center Towers.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1CollapseofTowers.pdf"&gt;NCSTAR 1&lt;/A&gt; admits:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"The focus of the investigation was on the sequence of events from the instance of aircraft impact to the initiation of collapse for each tower. For brevity in this report, this sequence is referred to as the "probable collapse sequence," although it does not actually include the structural behavior of the tower after the conditions for collapse initiation were reached and collapse became inevitable." [See &lt;A href="http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1CollapseofTowers.pdf"&gt;NCSTAR 1&lt;/A&gt;, pgs xxxvii, footnote 2 and/or 82, footnote 13]&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;

For brevity in this report, this sequence is referred to as the probable collapse sequence," although it includes little analysis of the structural behavior of the tower after the conditions for collapse initiation were reached and collapse became inevitable.&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thus, to this day, Americans have not been given any explanation whatsoever for the destruction of the WTC complex that comports with information and quality standards.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In contrast, Dr. Wood's RFC contains a stunning array of visual evidence confirming highly unusual energy effects seen by all as the twin towers were almost instantaneously destroyed in less time than it would take a &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/BilliardBalls.html"&gt;billiard ball&lt;/A&gt; to hit the ground if dropped from the height of the twin towers.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;That fact is assessed on the basis of the two other &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/BilliardBalls.html#A"&gt;laws of physics&lt;/A&gt; in Wood's &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/NIST_RFC.html#wood" target=display&gt;RFC&lt;/A&gt;, thus confirming its scientific rigor. Wood also points to other compelling evidence that NIST ignored. Wood's RFC shows visual evidence of unusual and unexplained blast effects on vehicles parked blocks away from the complex. Wood also demonstrates unexplained visual damage in the form of perpendicular gouges in &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsBeam3.html#WTC3"&gt;WTC 3&lt;/A&gt;, and &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsBeam4.html#overhead"&gt;WTC 4,5,6&lt;/A&gt; and the near disappearance of &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsBeam4.html#laydown"&gt;WTC 3&lt;/A&gt;, all of which remain unexplained by NIST to this day. Wood goes further and points out that the incredible amount of dust resulting from the visible process of steel disintegrating before our very eyes all point to the use of directed energy weapons. One other element of Wood's proof is the almost complete lack of even a rubble pile at the WTC complex. Wood asks: &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsBeam4.html#laydown"&gt;Where did it go?&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Added to all of that is the fact that whatever the energy and heat source was, it had no effect upon paper that was seen floating everywhere and &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsBeam5.html#windows"&gt;not burning&lt;/A&gt; very much, if at all.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Dr. Wood's RFC demonstrates all of the above mentioned effects in its 43 pages of text and pictorial proof. The combined effects of gravity, &lt;A href="http://janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsBeam5.html#kerosene"&gt;jet fuel&lt;/A&gt; (a form of kerosene) and plane damage could not possibly have caused the massive destruction that occurred on September 11, 2001, in New York City, according to Dr. Wood. The wonder of it all is that more engineers and scientists have not come forward to challenge the woeful, scientific inadequacies of the official explanation.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Dr. Wood invites her peers and colleagues to set aside their emotional attachments and to view the evidence objectively. Then and only then can America come to grips with what happened on 9/11/01, according to Dr. Wood.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>WHERE ARE THE WRISTBANDS COMING FROM???!!!</title><link>http://cs.gazetteonline.com/forums/1251/ShowPost.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Mar 2007 01:53:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ae12948-e881-4184-9922-c991840b0ffd:1251</guid><dc:creator>zumablu</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;I LOVE this wristband idea!&amp;nbsp; "STOP COMPLAINING!" has been my mantra for so long!&amp;nbsp; Sheesh - we have our health, a roof over our heads...WHAT are you bitching about people???!!!&amp;nbsp; Anyhoo, I'd love to join the fight by wearing one of these masterpieces but can't find where they're coming from!&amp;nbsp; HELP!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;zumablu&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description></item><item><title>Anybody out there?</title><link>http://cs.gazetteonline.com/forums/881/ShowPost.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jan 2007 21:14:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ae12948-e881-4184-9922-c991840b0ffd:881</guid><dc:creator>linda</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>Hello, hello?

I've had to move my wristband five times since Dec. 29 when I handed out wristbands in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Putting on the wristband has made me more aware of what's going through my brain before it comes out of my mouth, which is how I account for not having moved&amp;nbsp;my wristband more often. I'm self-censoring the major complaints and the negative comments, so each time I've had to move it has been for a fairly petty complaint. I do find myself trying to frame comments in a positive way, which I think is the crux of this whole effort. In a recent e-mail exchange with the minister who got the no-complaints ball rolling by challenging his congregation, he summarized the Complaint-Free movement this way: "Say what you want, not what you don't want." &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How's it going for the rest of you?&lt;/P&gt;
