On 9/11 we saw two planes crash into the World Trade Center on TV. A couple of hours later, both towers collapsed. Steven E. Jones, a physics professor at Brigham Young University, thinks the hijackers may not have brought the towers down with their planes?that explosives had to have been planted inside them ahead of time, in order to create this spectacular media image. He bases this on the way the buildings collapsed, from the top down. This can be seen clearly in Dave Von Kleist?s DVD 911 in Plane Site.

Jones is calling for a government investigation. The recent well-timed set of explosions in London illustrate that this type of media event is what al-Qaeda aims for. A similar attack was recently foiled in Australia.

After the data from this study came in, it has been illegal to use a cell phone while driving in western Australia.

So far the only weapon we have against bird flu is Tamiflu which is being stockpiled by governments all over the world, despite the fact that the avian flu virus may have mutated so that the drug will no longer be effective. Now there’s more ominous news: Tamiflu may lead to suicide.

Jeremy Laurance writes in the Independent that two teen-aged boys in Japan committed suicide after taking Tamiflu, raising concerns about the drug. The boys did not know each other. In 2004, the Japanese government issued a warning about psychological disorders linked to Tamiflu, but no warning was issued in the US or in Europe.
