Enough with the ridiculous conspiracy theory sites.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Where did you find a "ridiculous conspiracy theory" in these photos? I'm sorry, but I think the people in these photos, as well as ourselves, deserve more than just a "ridiculous" dismissal.

Remember the 911 commissions assertion that BOTH WTC towers had fires raging in them hot enough to melt the thermally-protected steel reinforcement members of the buildings?(Eventually leading to their collapse) I bought into this lie as well until I saw these photos.

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/wtc_fire.html

Where's the 800C+ fires in these photos? How is it possible for people to be alive that close to something burning that hot? Why didnt the tower in Spain, which was ENGULFED in fire and burned for 16 hrs. not collapse? Tower 7 of the WTC site collapsed, WAS NOT hit by an airliner, and burned for 2-3 hrs. All of us need to reexamine our beliefs as to what happened on Sept. 11th 2001!!

Thought I might post the article that I'm quoting.

By Chris Bennett - WorldNetDaily May 25, 2004

About 80 miles off of the coast of Louisiana lies a mostly submerged mountain, the top of which is known as Eugene Island. The portion underwater is an eerie-looking, sloping tower jutting up from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico, with deep fissures and perpendicular faults which spontaneously spew natural gas. A significant reservoir of crude oil was discovered nearby in the late '60s, and by 1970, a platform named Eugene 330 was busily producing about 15,000 barrels a day of high-quality crude oil.

By the late '80s, the platform's production had slipped to less than 4,000 barrels per day, and was considered pumped out. Done. Suddenly, in 1990, production soared back to 15,000 barrels a day, and the reserves which had been estimated at 60 million barrels in the '70s, were recalculated at 400 million barrels. Interestingly, the measured geological age of the new oil was quantifiably different than the oil pumped in the '70s.

Analysis of seismic recordings revealed the presence of a "deep fault" at the base of the Eugene Island reservoir which was gushing up a river of oil from some deeper and previously unknown source.

Similar results were seen at other Gulf of Mexico oil wells. Similar results were found in the Cook Inlet oil fields in Alaska. Similar results were found in oil fields in Uzbekistan. Similarly in the Middle East, where oil exploration and extraction have been underway for at least the last 20 years, known reserves have doubled. Currently there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 680 billion barrels of Middle East reserve oil.

Creating that much oil would take a big pile of dead dinosaurs and fermenting prehistoric plants. Could there be another source for crude oil?

An intriguing theory now permeating oil company research staffs suggests that crude oil may actually be a natural inorganic product, not a stepchild of unfathomable time and organic degradation. The theory suggests there may be huge, yet-to-be-discovered reserves of oil at depths that dwarf current world estimates.

The theory is simple: Crude oil forms as a natural inorganic process which occurs between the mantle and the crust, somewhere between 5 and 20 miles deep. The proposed mechanism is as follows:

· Methane (CH4) is a common molecule found in quantity throughout our solar system - huge concentrations exist at great depth in the Earth.

· At the mantle-crust interface, roughly 20,000 feet beneath the surface, rapidly rising streams of compressed methane-based gasses hit pockets of high temperature causing the condensation of heavier hydrocarbons. The product of this condensation is commonly known as crude oil.

· Some compressed methane-based gasses migrate into pockets and reservoirs we extract as "natural gas."

· In the geologically "cooler," more tectonically stable regions around the globe, the crude oil pools into reservoirs.

· In the "hotter," more volcanic and tectonically active areas, the oil and natural gas continue to condense and eventually to oxidize, producing carbon dioxide and steam, which exits from active volcanoes.

· Periodically, depending on variations of geology and Earth movement, oil seeps to the surface in quantity, creating the vast oil-sand deposits of Canada and Venezuela, or the continual seeps found beneath the Gulf of Mexico and Uzbekistan.

· Periodically, depending on variations of geology, the vast, deep pools of oil break free and replenish existing known reserves of oil.

There are a number of observations across the oil-producing regions of the globe that support this theory, and the list of proponents begins with Mendelev (who created the periodic table of elements) and includes Dr.Thomas Gold (founding director of Cornell University Center for Radiophysics and Space Research) and Dr. J.F. Kenney of Gas Resources Corporations, Houston, Texas.

In his 1999 book, "The Deep Hot Biosphere," Dr. Gold presents compelling evidence for inorganic oil formation. He notes that geologic structures where oil is found all correspond to "deep earth" formations, not the haphazard depositions we find with sedimentary rock, associated fossils or even current surface life.

He also notes that oil extracted from varying depths from the same oil field have the same chemistry - oil chemistry does not vary as fossils vary with increasing depth. Also interesting is the fact that oil is found in huge quantities among geographic formations where assays of prehistoric life are not sufficient to produce the existing reservoirs of oil. Where then did it come from?

Another interesting fact is that every oil field throughout the world has outgassing helium. Helium is so often present in oil fields that helium detectors are used as oil-prospecting tools. Helium is an inert gas known to be a fundamental product of the radiological decay or uranium and thorium, identified in quantity at great depths below the surface of the earth, 200 and more miles below. It is not found in meaningful quantities in areas that are not producing methane, oil or natural gas. It is not a member of the dozen or so common elements associated with life. It is found throughout the solar system as a thoroughly inorganic product.

Even more intriguing is evidence that several oil reservoirs around the globe are refilling themselves, such as the Eugene Island reservoir - not from the sides, as would be expected from cocurrent organic reservoirs, but from the bottom up.

Dr. Gold strongly believes that oil is a "renewable, primordial soup continually manufactured by the Earth under ultrahot conditions and tremendous pressures. As this substance migrates toward the surface, it is attached by bacteria, making it appear to have an organic origin dating back to the dinosaurs."

Smaller oil companies and innovative teams are using this theory to justify deep oil drilling in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, among other locations, with some success. Dr. Kenney is on record predicting that parts of Siberia contain a deep reservoir of oil equal to or exceeding that already discovered in the Middle East.

Could this be true?

In August 2002, in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (US)," Dr. Kenney published a paper, which had a partial title of "The genesis of hydrocarbons and the origin of petroleum." Dr. Kenney and three Russian coauthors conclude:

The Hydrogen-Carbon system does not spontaneously evolve hydrocarbons at pressures less than 30 Kbar, even in the most favorable environment. The H-C system evolves hydrocarbons under pressures found in the mantle of the Earth and at temperatures consistent with that environment.

He was quoted as stating that "competent physicists, chemists, chemical engineers and men knowledgeable of thermodynamics have known that natural petroleum does not evolve from biological materials since the last quarter of the 19th century."

Deeply entrenched in our culture is the belief that at some point in the relatively near future we will see the last working pump on the last functioning oil well screech and rattle, and that will be that. The end of the Age of Oil. And unless we find another source of cheap energy, the world will rapidly become a much darker and dangerous place.

If Dr. Gold and Dr. Kenney are correct, this "the end of the world as we know it" scenario simply won't happen. Think about it ... while not inexhaustible, deep Earth reserves of inorganic crude oil and commercially feasible extraction would provide the world with generations of low-cost fuel. Dr. Gold has been quoted saying that current worldwide reserves of crude oil could be off by a factor of over 100.

A Hedberg Conference, sponsored by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, was scheduled to discuss and publicly debate this issue. Papers were solicited from interested academics and professionals. The conference was scheduled to begin June 9, 2003, but was canceled at the last minute. A new date has yet to be set.

I'm not sure how many of you guys have been out of the country, but I have been quite a bit and can say this with certainty. Americans are OBCESSED with blame. When something fails in America, the first question is "whose fault is it?" In the orient, for example, the first question is "what went wrong, and what can we do to fix it?" Discovering WHO was at fault is a secondary, if not a tertiary concern. Not trying to slam the USA of course, but I find it odd the way we NEED to lay blame on someone to feel fulfilled.

hmmm

iran

iraq

 

lets see countries that start with ira

 

the closest are ireland, india, italy, and indonesia

 

india wouldnt be worth it, they have like 60 billion people and would prolly implode soon if we leave them alone (although pakistan would help us out). india isnt muslim though, thats a minus

 

ireland, like SS said, are white and too drunk for us to bother anyway

 

italy has plenty of historical monuments we could ruin, plus some fine food too that we could steal.  but europe would back them up and form a colataion against us (imagine the irony of france and germany in a coaltion against the US)

now indonesia has been kinda strained from that tsunami, they are muslim, they do harbor a large amount of terrorists

 

we have a winner.  Indonesia is next!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nah. Indonesia's on the list, (due to the HUGE pockets of natural gas recently located under the sea floor just off it's shores), but Iran is WAY closer and poses a larger threat to Israel than Indonesia. Hence, I think it's Iran, Syria, Indonesia in that order.

Human pride sings a vengeful song, inspired by the times you've been walked on.  We are one, we are strong - the more you hold us down, the more we press on.

I believe the song is called "What if" by Pearl Jam.

I have a 21" Nokia 445Xi, and I LOVE IT. The bigger the better!!

Best quote I EVER heard.

How did Bush "see" the 1st plane hit tower one that morning on TV? It was recorded on a FILM camera, by a pair of French brothers making a documentary on New York utility companies. It was not seen by ANYONE until later that evening, after it was developed!

funny the big oil company's are scared to lose money, I wonder how much money they are going to lose when they run out of oil.  

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Here's a bit of news that alot of you probably haven't heard yet. Texaco oil wells in the Carribean that were thought to have been pumped out in the late 70's/ early 80's, have mysteriously been spouting oil recently. Scientists have determined that oil is NOT decayed dinosaurs, but the end result of a complex process using extreme pressure, methane, and the "floating" of the earths tectonic plates on it's "liquid" core. Initially, dinosaurs were thought to be the cause of oil because "organic material" was found in oil when tested. They have now conclude that the "organic material" found in oil was probably leeched into it as it rose past the layer of decayed and fossilized dinosaurs and plants. Essentially, the whole planet is a huge "oil manufacturing plant". The problem is, there are only a few places on earth where it rises shallow enough for humans to drill and pump it out. Now you all know the REAL reason why the USA is in Iraq.

Actually Mini-me, I do construction for a living and would be interested in working out some sort of arrangement. PM me if your interested.

Its located in Chicago. The connex is AWESOME with a VERY low flux. Be warned tho, the rules regarding language and the like are a bit lax there.

Just a thought, but maybe it's time to let this topic fade.  I tend to doubt that there's much more to be "learned" from this.

 

Just my personal opinion.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I do apologize Ice, as it was my intent merely to shed light on a great organization and it's people. I felt that the story of the sunglasses HAD to be shared with the community, simply on it's honesty "merits".

I was at the Archer agency yesterday, and after a lengthy discussion with Amy about what happened, I have to say I was more than curious. Additionally, I did PROMISE her that I would post my opinion, so there it is.

Hey all,

Just wanted to take a minute and reply to this "issue" involving PDO and Fatty. I had a "issue" with Fatty as well, and wanted to share the outcome. I attended FF-04 and while I was setting up my PC, I took off my Oakleys and placed them next to my PC. About 15 minutes later they came up missing, and I spent the bulk of the Lan-party looking for my gear. I was there for maybe 36 hrs., and probably spent about 5 of them in front of my PC. Aside from losing my rather expensive shades, and having PC "issues" limit my playing time (thanks a million Mother), I still had a GREAT time. I credit this experience directly to Fatty and the rest of the Coalition. Because of his viament insistence that players stick to the rules, and because of his efforts, the Coalition has turned into a GREAT group of people. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the company of EVERY SINGLE COALITION MEMBER. As most of you CS vets are aware, that is no small feat considering the type of community CS has become. (Surf the Steam forums for a sample). Needless to say, considering the situation I was in that weekend, (brand new $150 shades coming up lost/stolen, my "1337 m4ch1n3" trying to take a dumper, going to the party unprepared with lodgings and sleeping UNCOMFORTABLY in my car), I still managed to have a GREAT time. I believe this would have NOT been possible if I had lanned with any OTHER group. I met ALOT of awesome ppl there, and give a good chunk of the credit to Fatty. His insistence on maintaining a "fun atmosphere" while playing, has turned a group of CS players into a close-knit, fun-loving bunch. I look foreward to FF-05.

P.S.- For the record, 20 minutes after leaving FF-04, I got a cell call from Fatty.

He called to tell me that he FOUND my Oakleys while breaking down the event room, and would get them to me ASAP. I can't tell you how much my eyes appreciate your good-nature.

P.S .S. - You go Amy(Mrs. Fatty)!! It was WAY out of line the way PDO involved you in the small, stupid dispute he was having with Fatty. I'm guessing PDO's issues go WAY beyond the way Valve is releasing updates, or how Fatty talks to him.
