James H. Fetzer: 9/11 IRAN REVIEW Interview

Well I heard some hings that I never heard before.
It's definitely worth the read

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2012) - More than one decade after the 9/11 attacks which completely diverted the path of the U.S. foreign policy and led to the waging of two lethal, erosive wars on Afghanistan and Iraq and killing of thousands of innocent civilians, an influential, diligent group of researchers and authors have dared to question the authenticity and veracity of the claims made by the U.S. government that they were Islamist terrorists who crashed hijacked planes into the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon and killed some 3,000 people.
One of these high-ranking, renowned researchers is Dr. James H. Fetzer, a retired professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota Duluth. He has written on the philosophy of science and on the theoretical foundations of computer science, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science.
According to Dr. Fetzer, George W. Bush and his administration officials were responsible for the atrocities which happened on September 11, 2001. He firmly believes that Israel’s Mossad was involved in the 9/11 attacks and that the U.S. government tries to withhold this truth from the public; however, he has written tens of articles for different magazines and news websites, providing evidence of the involvement of Israel’s intelligence service in the attacks.

U.S. vulnerable to missiles, panel says

Wait, who is selling this opinion?
"For too long, the U.S. has been committed to expensive missile defense strategies without sufficient consideration of the costs and real utility," said L. David Montague, the panel's co-chairman and a retired president of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space.

Oh look, this recommendation is brought to you by ......
Yes that's right you guessed it.
Brought to you by those that would PROFIT from it

After two years of study, a panel of top scientists and military experts working for the National Research Council has concluded that the nation's protections against missile attack suffer from major shortcomings, leaving the United States vulnerable to certain kinds of long-range strikes.

In a report, the panel suggested that President Obama shift course and expand a system inherited from President George W. Bush, setting aside parts of an antimissile strategy he initiated in 2009. By doing so, the panel said, the nation's defenses would be better prepared to defeat the long-range missiles that the report suggests Iran may be developing.

It is the first time that the research council - an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, chartered by Congress to give scientific and technical advice to the government and considered the nation's pre-eminent group of scientists - has weighed in on the nation's overall plans for defeating missile attacks.

Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act

http://www.usps.com/communications/news/press/2006/pr06_pmg1209.htm

I personally am thinking test..no, more like Oh my God.
How much more money does Timmy really need?


Statement of Postmaster General John E. Potter
Passage of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act
The Congress is to be congratulated on the passage of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006. I would single out for extraordinary effort Senators Susan Collins, Joseph Lieberman and Thomas Carper and Representatives Thomas Davis, Henry Waxman, John McHugh and Danny Davis for making reform a reality.

We are grateful that the funding for USPS retiree military service obligations will be borne by the Treasury.

This, combined with release of the escrow funds, will be used for retiree health benefits. We look forward to working with the mailing community, USPS employees, the Postal Regulatory Commission and the Treasury on implementation of the pending legislation and delivery of affordable universal service to all Americans for many years to come.

The substantial pension savings from P.L. 108-18 provide an excellent
opportunity to transition to a financially self-sufficient USPS. The President's FY 2006
Budget proposes to use the amounts that would otherwise be held in escrow to enable
USPS to contribute $42.5 billion over the next 10 years toward paying down its
substantial retiree health benefits liability. If these unfunded retiree health benefit
liabilities are not fully addressed now, unnecessarily large spending will be needed in the
future to pay these health benefits costs as they come due.
The President's Budget proposal would allow the elimination of the statutory escrow
requirement to be accomplished in a manner that would have no adverse budget impact.
However, H.R. 22 would allow USPS to use a portion of the escrow as a subsidy for
current operations, and thus would have an adverse budget impact.
Treatment of Military Service Obligations. The Administration believes that USPS must
continue to be responsible for pension costs connected with military service credits for
postal employees under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and opposes
provisions in the current version of H.R 22 that would grant USPS a subsidy with a net
present value of $27 billion by transferring all of these military service pension credit
obligations to the General Fund of the Treasury. USPS's responsibility for paying this
military service pension credit obligation is a cost of doing business, and USPS should
not be absolved of its responsibility to pay for these unfunded liabilities


Consequently, we will simply not have the means to meet all of our required obligations as we close the fiscal year. This will have a direct effect on our ability to meet the scheduled payment of $5.4 billion to the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefit Fund, which is required on September 30, by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006
