Partial transcript: What happened to Building 5… those are cylindrical holes; Things falling on it wouldn’t leave cylindrical holes that are empty… with nothing in the bottom; Kind of like the middle of Building 6… nothing can make a hole that shape and leave nothing behind; For comparison, let’s say you turned the top 90 stories of Building 1 into dust–blows away at the breeze–so you’re only left with the bottom 20 stories, and drop that to the ground… you get approximately a 2.3 on the Richter scale; If you have 110 story building coming apart, why don’t you have chunks of steel stabbing other buildings above the 18th floor?… there’s only a few of them; For Tower 2 it’s like 16 floors… would make a 2.1… approximately; So this also supports the idea of the building turning to dust; And if you look at the duration of the seismic signals, the building shook–for Tower 1–the ground shook for about 8 seconds… It takes 9.5 seconds to throw a bowling ball of the roof and have it hit the pavement, so there wasn’t enough time even with no resistance for the building to fall to the ground… it couldn’t have fallen and hit the ground; If you’re hammering something like a jackhammer of pancaking… floor by floor breaking up… it’s gonna be a whole lot longer than 20 seconds or so, or 30 seconds… it’s gonna be at least 100 seconds, because it takes time to break stuff; But 8 seconds… again that doesn’t even account for something falling off the roof in free-fall speed… but it’s consistent with the top 90 stories or so turning into dust
Partial transcript: There is little to no seismic signature associated with that building [Building 7]; If you drop a building that size to the ground, it’s gonna leave a large seismic signal; The MANY station (this is on p.87 [of her book, "Where Did the Towers Go?"]) you could not pick it out of background noise… as far as you knew, nothing happened–it was a non-event; It’d be… for Towers 1 and 2… somewhere between a 3.2 and a 3.7 [on the Richter Scale]; For Building 7 you should get somewhere between a 2.8 and a 2.9; For Tower 2–that was the first one that went–it was a 2.1, and Tower 1 it was a 2.3; Tower 1 is 30 times the potential energy of the Kingdome… it’s a bigger building, more mass, higher above the ground… the Kingdome was a 2.3; Building 7 was a 0.6; What happened with Building 7… it was less than those quarry blasts [in New Jersey and beyond] or even it didn’t even register… so you start wondering if anything hit the ground; This is evidence; If you blow up a building… if you cut up the columns… however you take the building down… if that mass slams to the ground, you should have a seismic signal; What this shows is that the mass did not slam to the ground… the building didn’t burn up, nor did it slam to the ground… but turned into dust in mid-air; Dust doesn’t make a thud when it hits
Partial transcript: How do we get away with paying for these bills, and endless spending occurs and government keeps growing?… it cannot occur if you have a sound monetary system; That is why I have emphasized the importance of having a sound dollar and why we need to reign in the Federal Reserve system; If we obeyed the law, we would have sound money… the Constitution still says that only gold and silver should be legal tender; You can understand why government grows… because politicians don’t have to be responsible; That’s why they invented in 1913 this financial system based on fiat money and printing money, because you can delay the pain and penalty; I used to say so often over the years that, “you know, we run up these debts… and we pass them on to the next generation… we shouldn’t do it…”, but you know what’s different today… we are the next generation and we’re suffering the consequences; If you just print money, the value of the money goes down, and the people’s standards go down; Already the people on fixed incomes… their standard of living is going down; The middle class is shrinking; Unemployment, if you look at those honestly, is closer to 20%, and the people are very, very concerned about this; The answers come with a very uncomplicated solution… we got into this mess by too many people in Washington either didn’t care or didn’t understand the Constitution… we need to restore the Constitution and we must restore liberty
Partial transcript: There’s no doubt in my mind the momentum hasbeen continuing, and will continue; There’s been now three elections and a total of 37 delegates have been chosen so far–less than 2%–like 1.5%; The message of liberty is being received by more people every single day; That is how you get peace and prosperity… by understanding and defending and promoting the cause of liberty; We will be going to the caucus states and we will be promoting the whole idea of getting more delegates… because that’s the name of the game, and we will pursue it; It looks like tonight we will get 4-5 times more votes than we did 4 years ago; There’s every reason to be encouraged… there’s every reason that we understand so clearly that the cause is so necessary; The evidence has become clear that the efforts by government is failing, and we can’t depend on the government to take care of us from cradle to grave; We can’t depend on the government on its efforts to promote and believe that we can police the world and go into nation building… cause we’re all gone broke
Partial transcript: Generally speaking my views are different in reality than the other candidates… although the rhetoric might not be extremely different, in reality it is different… because so often we have candidates that will talk about some changes but basically still support the status quo; The status quo today is too much ignoring the Constitution; We’ve gotten into this trouble because we’ve avoided following the Constitution… it shouldn’t be difficult to get out of trouble by just having only people in Washington who obey the Constitution–that’s what I think we oughta do; It also reflects an educational system that over many many decades have taught generations of Americans that the Constitution is not to be a rigid document; Since we got careless with this, the document doesn’t mean a whole lot; The Founders of this country… put it in there that only gold and silver could be legal tender, you couldn’t have a central bank, and you couldn’t print money… but look at where we are… and we didn’t change the Constitution; There is no authority for the federal government to be running education… therefore we don’t need the Department of Education; When you [the executive branch] write a regulation, you’re writing a law… and that’s the executive branch doing what only the legislative branch is supposed to be doing… we need to challenge this someday
Partial transcript: I can remember the very early years studying obstetrics–and it was before the age of abortion–and I was told taking care of a woman that’s pregnant, you have two patients… and I think that solves a lot of the problem by when life begins and all; In the 1960′s when the culture was changing… abortion became prevalent even though it was illegal; So the morality of the country changed, but then the law followed up; When the morality changes, it will reflect on the laws; Law will not correct the basic problem, and that’s the morality of the people; You need the government out of that business [medicine] or you will always argue over who’s paying what bills; I follow what my understanding is of the Constitution, and it does allow for the states to deal with difficult problems… as a matter of fact, it allows the states to deal with almost all the problems, if you look at it; These powers aren’t given to the Congress… I see abortion as a violent act… all other violence is handled by the states–murder, burglary, violence… that’s a state issue; Don’t try to say that I’m less pro-life because I want to be particular about the way we do it and allow the states the prerogative; This is the solution… if we would allow the states to write their laws, take away the jurisdiction by a majority vote in the Congress, you repeal Roe v. Wade overnight, instead of waiting year after year to change the court system
Partial transcript: Yesterday that vote on raising the national debt limit by 1.2 was a real farce in many ways, because the debt is going to be increased; The debt is automatically going up $1.2 trillion… nobody seems to care… if they did, they would take my advice and cut the budget by $1 trillion dollars in one year… is what we need; The wealth in this country is basically debt… we’re running the world on debt; The dollar will be rejected, and it has been rejected in many ways already; I got involved in politics in 1971 when the last link to gold was undermined and removed… believing then that would mean the politicians could spend money endlessly and have no responsibility… and that’s exactly what has happened; If you take a look at the value of your dollar since 1971, it went down 85%; If someone put their money away 40 years ago and now they’re going to retire… the money they put away has been gradually eroded… the dollars they put away in 1971 would be worth 15 cents; This is criminal… this is immoral… it’s bad economics; This is why we have to look to the Constitution, realizing the Constitution still says only gold and silver can be used as legal tender; There’s no authority in the Constitution to print money, and there’s no authority for the Federal Reserve system at all
Partial transcript: A strong national defense isn’t provided when we become the policemen of the world… where we get involved in the internal affairs of other nations, or whether we go in and change government… have regime changes… that undermines our national defense; We get involved in wars that aren’t declared… we don’t know why we’re there… we don’t know when they’re over; What they like to do is describe what I’m talking about as isolationism; Isolationism is more of people who want trade barriers, walls around us, you can’t go and come, and put sanctions on other countries; The same individuals that complain about my foreign policy of being non-intervention… they’re the ones who are the very first to put on sanctions; Sanctions are an act of war… can you imagine if a country put sanctions on us, and wouldn’t allow oil to come in?… That would be an act of war; This is why I bring up the subject of the Golden Rule… if we don’t want people to ban oil imports to our country, why should we do that to another country? I don’t know why that is such a negative term for people to boo that; If you look at the 6 or 7 large religions of the history of the world, in one way or another they recognize this whole idea that you treat people the way you want to be treated
Partial transcript: I want to cut money–overseas money–that’s what I want to do; I want to cut military money, I don’t want to cut defense money; I want to bring the troops home… I’d probably have more bases here at home; We were closing them down in the 1990′s and building them overseas–that’s how we got into trouble; We would save a lot more money and have a stronger national defense, and that’s what we should do; But to say that we would be weaker is absolutely wrong; The military is behind me more than the others–I get twice as much money from the active military duties than all the other candidates put together… so they’re saying that I’m on the right track–they’re sick and tired of those wars… they’re sick and tired of the nation building and the policing activity; There’s a difference between military spending and defense spending; Just cause you spend a billion dollars on an embassy in Baghdad bigger than the Vatican–you consider that defense spending… I consider that waste; I’d cut some of this military spending… like Eisenhower advised us… “watch out for the military industrial complex”; Defend this country–we have to have a strong national defense, but we don’t get strength by diluting ourselves in 900 bases–130 countries–that is where the problem is; There is a difference between just military spending and defense spending; We’re supposed to be conservatives–spend less money
Partial transcript: The attack on personal liberties has continued; First, after 9/11 it was the Patriot Act; The Patriot Act was not invented because of 9/11… it had been invented several years before; An opportunity arises for those who like to put those kind of laws on us… saw that as an opportunity… so within a week or two, the Patriot Act was passed; If we could have renamed it, it wouldn’t have passed; If they had called that the “Repeal of the 4th Amendment Act”, maybe nobody would have voted for it then… because that’s essentially what it did; We have lost our privacy–they can invade our homes without legitimate search warrants; The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)–a very, very bad piece of legislation; The provisions in there essentially have repealed Posse Comitatus; The president now is allowed to use the military to arrest any American citizen as a probably cause; Not only can you be arrested by the military–that’s only half of it–you can be kept in secret confinement indefinitely and denied an attorney… and that is not part of what America should be; If we’re to restore the republic, we would be repealing the Patriot Act as well as this authority to arrest American citizens by the U.S. Army–that should not be permissible; There’s something much bigger than me going on in this country… it’s been going on for 4, 5, 6 years, and it’s growing by leaps and bounds… and that is the freedom movement–people really are understanding what’s going on; If we do nothing, though, the status quo will drive us down… the bankruptcy of the country will lead to chaos; We can’t continue this wild spending overseas and the wild entitlement spending here–it won’t work… the endpoint will be a monetary financial event
Partial transcript: The easiest place to cut–for all Americans–should be this wild, runaway spending overseas–that’s where we need to cut; If you do that, and change the military budget, you don’t give up one penny of national defense, because you can have more defense with less money if we quit this nation building and the policemen of the world–we don’t need to be doing that; That means we’d be bringing a lot of troops back home; The military gives me the most amount of money… twice as much as all the other candidates; Maybe they’re tired of those wars as well; We’re supposedly over there to defend our Constitution… but how do you go to war that’s not declared under the rules of the Constitution? How can these be constitutional wars?; Just think how simple this problem could be solved… don’t go to war unless the Congress declares it
“Cowardice asks the question – is it safe?
Expediency asks the question – is it politic?
Vanity asks the question – is it popular?
But conscience asks the question – is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;
but one must take it because it is right.”
Partial transcript: MLK, Jr.: “A man of conscience can never be a consensus leader. He doesn’t take a stand in order to search for consensus… he’s ultimately a molder of consensus, and I’ve always said that the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and moments of convenience, but where he stands in moments of challenge and moments of controversy.”; Ron Paul: ”Maybe we oughta consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy… don’t do to other nations what we don’t want to have them do to us. We endlessly bomb these countries, and then we wonder why they get upset with us? And yet it continues on and on. It’s warmongering… they’re building up for another war against Iran and people can’t wait to get in another war. This country doesn’t need another war… we need to quit the ones we’re in… we need to save the money, and bring our troops home.”
Powerful words spoken by my hero, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in St. Augustine, Florida in 1964…
Speaker: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Partial transcript: “It’s difficult advice and in some quarters it isn’t too popular to say it…Let us recognize that violence is not the answer. I must say to you tonight that violence is impractical…We have another method that is much more powerful and much more effective than the weapon of violence…Hate isn’t our weapon either…I am not talking now about a weak love. It would be nonsense to urge oppressed people to love their oppressors in an affectionate sense–I’m not talking about that. Too many people confuse the meaning of love when they go to criticizing the love ethic…I am talking about a love that is so strong that it becomes a demanding love. I’m talking about a love that is so strong that it organizes itself into a mass movement and says somehow ‘I am my brother’s keeper, and he is so wrong that I am willing to suffer and die if necessary to get him right and to see that he’s on the wrong road’.”
Dr. Future and Will Grigg discuss libertarianism and the Golden Rule…
[Part5 of a 5-part series]
Show:Future Quake
Full Podcast: Show 295 1-6-2012 Future Quake – Seventh Annual Future Quake “Predictions” Show Date: 1/6/12
Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic Guest: Will Grigg Notes: Libertarian thinking starts with the understanding that all human beings are problematic and troublesome when entrusted with power, and that no human being is virtuous enough to exercise power over another; So no human being has the right to commit aggressive violence against another–that’s the Golden Rule; The fundamental tenant of libertarian thought is the Golden Rule–we’re all equal before the law; Really the only law is the non-aggression principle… and on that will hang the Constitution and all laws worthy of our respect–they’re all commentaries on or applications of the non-aggression axiom (or the Golden Rule); Virtue cannot be obtained through compulsion; It’s possible to use coercion defensively in order to protect yourself against the vicious, and there arguably is a role for coercion in terms of punishing conspicuous acts of viciousness, but you can’t make somebody righteous through coercion; The way that statism works is that it cocoons us in myriad laws and then leaves us completely at the mercy of the grace of the supposedly divine entity called the state; Libertarianism starts from the proposition that the state–being composed of flawed human beings–cannot make us virtuous through coercion
