Well at 30 seconds that sort of looks like a variation of Altus but more like the UAV

Warrior (Predator was its prototype) Manufacturer General Atomics And at 36 gosh from the bottom I can't tell but I think it might be a variation of maybe its the F/A 18 Super Hornet or the other variant that goes by the name of Growler What's with the bells ringing? You do know that type of sound creates an echo of a signal pathway to follow don't you?

[DrKenHildebrandt]

All I know is when they handed me the microphone, the twelve o'clock bell started ringing. I thought it best to stop, but they said I was doing fine & asked me to keep going.

[dbootsthediva]

So you had never made a speech at that place before? You had absolutely no idea the bells tolled on each hour?

[DrKenHildebrandt]

No, and no.

That's one of the few speeches I've ever giving in my entire life, and the only one in which I've had a microphone. Having just arrived a moment earlier, I had no idea that I was below a bell tower until a split second after I was handed the mike.

The bell tolled for most of my speech, the rest of which is transcribed in my book, which is accessible from the site listed under my pic, in Chapter 1.

Five years hence, I wish what I had stated was known by enough to matter.

Akin to the definition of insanity, the hallmark of entrenched but marginalized movements is that they continue to pursue exactly the same strategy and tactics that have failed to produce solid results. *** There is just monumental disinterest among the dominant culture, political establishment and the broad public that is far more engaged with other issues, problems and movements.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Thanks for your well thought out posting. I agree, and the other issues they're engaged in are not getting at the roots of anything big in almost all instances. Until we change how we pick the people who direct foreign and domestic policies, we won't see a change in either one.

The key is to inform others on how to go about getting at the roots, i.e., elections. If you can't vote, you can still inform.

The idea that Bin Laden did it is ridiculous considering the towers as well as tower 7 had to be prepared with charges that would turn them to dust...it was an inside job...no doubt whatsoever.

Wake up! The trends before 911 as well as 911 are all part of the global elite's evil agenda.

[uturniaphobic]

I've been thinking about this issue for some time.

I think if we people just keep voting out the incumbents in EVERY election, fed. state, local. just keep flushing .. make term limits ONE TERM ...no time to get too cozy with lobbyists.

"Where was he during those 8 years?"

Well, for one thing, his footage in this video was recorded in January of 2008. What's contained in this video isn't 'parroted' from anyone. When I drove all over the nation covering elections, I never saw David Icke, and "Black Box Voting" is about as far from this video as can be. This video strikes at the roots, "Black Box Voting" is about which puppet of two can get the final pull, which doesn't amount to even breaking off a twig.

The touchstone issue is still 911. Let Noam get on board if he wants credibility. Parotting what's readily been available from the likes of David Icke, Black Box Voting and others isn't news. Yeah, it's great he chimed in, now that Bush is out of power. Where was he during those 8 years?
