Nice video, spread the word. Forget the little details, let others try and read this terribly dense work out loud for themselves.
I disagree, however, with your reading of this work as connected to 9/11 in the way you imply. You say that the map (Bush admin) generates a Borges fable to displace the real. But how? The whole point is that there is no longer a real to displace in the first place. It can no longer even be referred to, whether this be in a positive or negative way.
It no longer needs to be rational - the 9/11 report is irrational - steel buildings don't fly apart, even when on fire - and they certainly don't demolish at the speed of falling in to the route of most resistance. But the story is genetic, it is repeated over and over, with a few videos, we construct a hperreal story of boxcutters and afgani cave dwellers... all supported by the genetically miniaturized fantasy physics of jet fuel melting 47 massive colums in 45 minutes simultaneously.
Of course, in this reading, you hit the nail on the head. I get where you're going now. But still, one must wonder, if there is such a thing as 'real' physics. Are we justified in making such a clear cut seperation between 'fake' physics (9/11 report with 'impossible' physical features) and 'real' physics (9/11 actually explained)? The point here is, I think, that it is no longer even possible to discover which is the 'really real' form of physics. This is cause of the 9/11 truth blur, IMO.
prove to us all the pancake theory. I'm suprised that so few people have experimented - in this video, are 2 tiny scale models of the towers barely visible, not flying apart, yet burning red and white hot in a coke fire.
Itself a simulacra of something that never happened. :-)
In order to conduct a physical experiment one must have understanding of the physical events that actually occurred, and that means relying on a video tape simulation of the "events" in order to construct a physical model of the "events."
But the entire "event" is Simulacra, so even if we have provable physical sciences as a tool, what is it that we are attempting to prove?
I think it is unwise to assume anything about this "event," as it is all Simulacra.
Good on you for posting this. Sadly there will always be people out there criticising everybodies efforts, it doesnt take a genius to that either. Besides theres not many people out there that could read JB aloud without problems.
And exactly why do you feel it's necessary to read 'the precession of simulacra' aloud? Furthermore, on the subject of 9/11 wouldn't his monograph 'The Spirit of Terrorism' be more apropos? This may just be your glibness, but in case you hadn't realized, almost every postmodern theorist's writings are relevant to the WTC attacks. Get off youtube and spend some more time in the library - please.
Its probably the only audio on youtube of baudrillard's simulacra and simulation read aloud. The text, is highly relevant to the world trade centers attacks, no matter how poorly his name is pronounced.
The official story of the WTC towers destruction can be found at wtc.nist.gov
If you read the FAQs you will find:
1. The investigation does not cover the destruction of the buildings, merely the impacts and fires.
2. There has been no official testing for explosives.
3. No one involved in the investigation will stand by a single word of it in a court of law.
How many supporters of the media story realise the official story is so weak?

very well done, very artistic and intellectual..i love Jean Baudrillard...he was correct on 911...

Yes, very well put. 'truth blur' - nobody
can do a repeatable experiment - and this is
where future physicists stand to prove the most,
to do a 1/100th scale of the demolition and
prove to us all the pancake theory. I'm suprised that so few people have experimented - in this video, are 2 tiny scale models of the towers barely visible, not flying apart, yet burning red and white hot in a coke fire.

ironically baudrillard believes 911 is carried out by terrorists. Read his article "the spirit of terrorism"

Since the official story of 9/11 is a lie, simulacra and
simulation is especailly appropriate as the official story of steel melting and blowing apart sideways is
untestable bushscience and is not reproducable as that
is now what happened... but the map generates a NIST
lie, a borges fable to displace the real.
Reading for the blind, disabled and illiterate is a
vital function of new media.
