Oops, even more of Chandler's bat-shittery debunked: http://www.ae911truth.info/tiki-index.php?page=Freefall+Speed

Because if the NIST is lying about the causes of the collapse of WTC 7, they would be de facto complicit in the entire scheme of 9/11.

"Hi, this is Evil Boss Overlord. Hey, look, I know you're all working on that whole WTC7 collapse thing, but I need you to do something: I need you to totally ignore all the evidence you've found of a pre-concocted collapse and come out with a report that says the collapse was the result of structural failure. Yeah, I know, 3,000 people dead -- what a bummer, eh! -- but it's really important for the Evil Master Plot -- what? I know it's obvious that we murdered those people, but is telling the truth now going to bring them . . . yes, yes, yes you're professionals with reputations to uphold and -- what ethics?! Christian, schmistian! Look, just ignore the 3,000 people we killed and release the damned report!"

How is anything to do with building 7 "mass murder"? No one was in the building when it came down.

Here you Troofers (read, "Batshit Nuts") go: David Chandler himself shows up to defend his accusation of complicity to mass murder by the scientists at NIST, tries to bullshit actual mechanical engineers, and gets blown out of the water with the very same "evidence" presented in the joke of a video above.

The restaurant is the Heart Attack grill in Chandler, AZ. They pride themselves on serving burgers with as many calories and as much cholesterol as possible.

Yeah. There's a good quote from Alan Moore where he talks about just that:

Apparently, someone asked Raymond Chandler once what he thought of Hollywood ruining all of his books. And he took them into his study and pointed up to the shelf where they all were, and he said, "Look, they're there. They're fine. They're okay." That's the attitude I have to take. The film hasn't ruined my book.

A few winters ago I read the Raymond Chandler Philip Marlowe series. Then I'd find myself at the movies whenever there was an old noir classic. As a sort of offshoot I started looking in the uni library for books on grifters and confidence games. What I found was interesting but there's not a lot out there, unfortunately.

Confidence games fall into two categories; the "short con" and the "long con". What we see in these programs are mainly variations on short cons, (eg. the "pigeon drop" from the beginning of "The Sting") the practice of which often goes back more than a century.

This is from Wikipedia:


"Time of the Season" is a song by The Zombies, featured on the 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. The song was written by keyboard player Rod Argent and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in August 1967. Its breakthrough, however, did not occur before 1969, after the band had split up.

The song's characteristics include the unique voice of lead singer Colin Blunstone, the memorable bass riff, and Rod Argent's fast-paced psychedelic improvisation. The lyrics are an archetypical depiction of the emotions surrounding the Summer of Love. It is famous for its call-and-response verses "What's your name? (What's your name?)/Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)/(Is he rich?) Is he rich like me?".

Flash played illegal parties and also worked with rappers such as Kurtis Blow and Lovebug Starski. He formed his own group in the late 1970s, after promptings from Ray Chandler. The initial members were Cowboy (Keith Wiggins), Melle Mel (Melvin Glover) and Kid(d) Creole (Nathaniel Glover) making Grandmaster Flash & the 3 MCs. Two other rappers briefly joined, but they were replaced more permanently by Rahiem (Guy Todd Williams, previously in the Funky Four) and Scorpio (Eddie Morris, also used the name Mr. Ness) to create Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five. Soon gaining recognition for their skillful raps, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five pioneered MCing, freestyle battles, and invented some of the staple phrases in MCing. They performed at Disco Fever in the Bronx beginning in 1978.

It's funny how easily entertained we guys are. This reminds me of Joey and Chandler playing Fireball and stuff.
