Falling
Down
It's
1999.
America is experiencing peace and progress like
it has rarely done before. President Bill Clinton is
leaving office with a balanced budget and a hope to
reduce or
eliminate the federal deficit by 2010.
His vice-president
is an envrionmentalist. He knows that climate change
is real and he plans to do something about it.
But the Supreme Court said "Fuck no, America!
We're going to violate state voting laws, just this
once, to make sure this country gets a nice,
dependable tool of the oil industry instead."
And the people said "How bad can it be?"
Well, now we know.

This cartoon is a reminder that the two buildings (three,
actually) that fell in NY on 9-11 were supported by
millions of tons
of steel and concrete and yet they fell at free-fall
speed. As though nothing but air existed below the
impact sites. A clear violation of the Laws of Conservation.
The only conspiracy theory worthy of consideration
here is that your government will lie to you.
And it does.
-----------
Addendum: I drew this cartoon to explain, in the simplest
way possible, that the two World Trade Center buildings
were not just big empty shells, as far too many people
think.
Both buildings were constructed around massive,
multi-column, central concrete cores that reached all
the way to the top floor.
These huge columns simply shrugged off the impact of
the airliners, which are essentially just big aluminum
tubes filled with meat.
We know this to be true because the "official story"
is that the heat of the burning jet fuel weakened the
supporting structures of the building but, friends,
all that kerosene
burned
away
in a big
fireball
mere seconds
after
impact. It didn't sit on the surface of those massive
steel beams and heat them up until they gave way.
The very most that should have happened
is that the top floors of both buildings would have
slumped over a few degrees. So what destroyed the buildings? Let
me share the memory of a video I saw some years ago.
While the twin towers were still standing there was
a static video camera aimed down a crowded New York
street. The image wasn't important but you could hear
what
sounded
like every emergency vehicle in the city running their
sirens. It was an overwhelming caucaphony. But mere
seconds after the second tower had crumbled into cancerous
dust all the sirens were silenced. Why? Was the danger
over? Was the situation any less perilous than it had
been a minute before?
People standing near the towers as they collapsed reported
hearing sounds of explosions. To me it's clear that
these sirens were used to mask those sounds.
Which means
whoever
commanded they be used, and subsequently silenced,
had to know exactly what they were doing. And why.
