a few bizar facts about 9-11

ones I had never heard about before...
this is the wtc sqare before the planes.



now, what wiki writes about the artwork in the middle, it was positioned right between the towers (now a bit to the side, where the damaged artwork is a memorial for the attacks)

Quote:
Koenig started work in 1967 in his barn in Bavaria, while the WTC was in the planning stages, and finished it four years later in time for the opening of the towers. Officially titled Große Kugelkaryatide (Great Spherical Caryatid) by the artist, New Yorkers soon nicknamed it The Sphere. It was meant to symbolize world peace through world trade, and was placed at the center of a ring of fountains and other decorative touches designed by trade center architect Minosoru Yamasaki to mimic the Grand Mosque of Mecca, in which The Sphere stood at the place of the Kaaba.
wtf?... the rings actually represent the pelgrims walking around it in circles, just like in mekka...

and then this:



that black building, right at the edge of ground zero. its the millenium hotel. it was made, as an ode to the stanley kubric movie 2001; a space odysee...its the black monolith from the movie. theres actually a plaquette in teh building that sais so. in the movie, the monolith pops up and makes changes to the cause of life, its never explaned what it is exactly, but it seems to represent god, or more in partiuculair, some sort of computer send by aliens from saturn, who seem to play with life on earth and give it direction.
allso, the architect of this building, is teh same one that designed WTC7, and allso the freedom tower, which is build there now.
the freedom tower will be 1,776 feet, which is allso the year the illuminati were born, in bavaria germany. bavaria, where that sphere was made, btw. the tower will be finished in teh year 2012, which is in all kinds of religons, the start of a new time, the appocalipse, 100 years of peace, etc, the age of aquarius. even the mayas had 2012 as their final year in their calenders. the date is based on astrological circles that the earth moves in, I forgot what exactly, but its teh end of a circle. (and beginning of a new one)


now isnt that odd?

If you pick out totally different numbers related to other things, like say, Bush's birthday, the age of his daughters, and how many film Madonna has ruined, you could come up with connections to 9/11 as well.

People take info like that waaay too seriously.

If it all was an illuminati operation, then maybe the numerology has some significance. It is bizarre that the dissolved WTC towers and the imploded Building 7 have not been rebuilt yet. This focking psychotic memorial shit is strange. Then again does that individual who had Building 7 "pulled" still have a 99 year lease on the area? How the fock does an individual get a 99 year lease on the most valuable real estate in the world?

well forget those numbers then. look at that monolith building and that sphere which represents the 'meteor' of mekka. thats odd, isnt it? did anybody know about that?
heres another one I looked up, freedom tower is designed by teh same architect as that monolith building, and WTC7. WTC 7 was build, then after a few years, a company named salamon bros. hired a few floors, and rebuild them, to make less floors with higher ceilings.
they were bought by another company, forgot its name, which was taken over by a company named citi group. in '98 I think.
citi group is the largest, most wealthy company in the world...

Citi credit cards are really quite excellent. Not only does it have numerous features to protect the consumer like doubling the warranty on things, if you get the Driver's Edge, a small percentage of purchases is accumulated into an account which can be used to purchase a new car. I got a check from them for like a grand when I bought my car a few years ago.

My Dog! I've just done the calculation and it comes out to the number of home runs that Babe Ruth completed in his career, which if you multiply it by 9x11 works out to:


666

If you calculate the number of claims made by conspiracy theorists, and then divide that number by the number of counter claims made by official conspiracy theory apologists, you come up with pi (3.14 and on into infinity). Try it. note* You'll need to clean your computer of all other applications, programs and documents, and you'll have to quit your job and leave all your personal relationships to devote the proper attention to this endeavor. At least if my experience has been in any way instructive at all.

I just listen to my dog's opinion. Except when it comes to Jody Foster.

"Ruff" barked Couder, the smaller of the two Boston Terriers as Jim hunched his lanky frame down to better address his dogs.

"..and you, what did you think, Basil?" asked Jim of the other dog standing before him.

"Ruff" came the reply.

Jim thought for a moment and then standing, turned to Becky as she awaited the verdict.

"I'm afraid that you've failed the audition and I'll have to ask you to leave at once" Jim announced with a certain amount of regret. "Couder and Basil have been very clear about this and it IS a two to one vote. If I am to be fair about this, I have to acknowledge that I've been out voted here and that being the case, I have no alternative, regardless of my own personal view of the matter."

"But...but I sucked on you and let you...I gave you my rectal cherry..." she protested.

"These are my dogs!" he shouted, interrupting her frantic plea. "If you cannot respect me then at least have some respect for the commitment I've made to them. I am, after all, a man of my word and I have given my word to them that their wishes would play a part in their lives as it will be live within this, their home."

Becky sobbed quietly as Jim turned to his dogs once again.

"What?" he exclaimed. "Are you sure? That seems to me to be so...."

He halted his response and bowed his head.

"If it is the wish of the majority then I guess I must acquiesce as agreed."

Jim left the room for a moment, returning from the bedroom with a sawed-off shotgun.

"Sometimes these dogs really **** with me" he apologized, as he pulled the trigger and blew Becky into two parts of equal size.

As he cleaned up the mess and put her parts into garbage bags, the two dogs walked quietly up to him.

"Ruff" barked Couter as Basil looked on passively.

"What?" he asked, looking up as he tied the bag around her upper torso. "I thought you said blow her to hell before she leaves."

"Bark...Ruff" replied Basil with a bemused look crossing his black and white muzzle.

"Ha...imagine that" laughed Jim, leaning back against the wall of the blood-drenched kitchen. "'Have her blow the hell out of you before she leaves'....it sounded so much like...."

Jim and the dogs had a good laugh at their misunderstanding.

"We've got to get this communication thing together" Jim observed as he began dragging the heavily ladened garbage bags out to the trunk of his car.

It was true. This was the fifth girlfriend that Jim had mistakenly eliminated due to his inability to accurately determine the wishes of his housemates. He still missed Jennifer and the way she used to make him feel. He also regretted the remarkable mess that had resulted. Formula 409 wasn't getting any cheaper and the clerks at Walmart were beginning to call him "Mr. 409" and that wasn't how Jim wanted to be seen in this small middleclass community.

on the movie's opening music, the famous TA TA TA TAAAAAAAA...

Quote:
The opening trinitarian chords [C, G, and again C] of Richard Strauss' 'Thus Spake Zarathustra' accompany and welcome this striking shot of orbital and visual alignment. This music was inspired by the book . . . Thus Spake Zarathrustra. Its five opening notes embody the ascension of man into spheres reserved for the gods. It projects the power of creation and Zarathrustra.

The music is associated in the film with the first entry of man's consciousness into the universe, and with the eventual passage of that consciousness onto a new level, symbolized by the Star Child at the end of the film.

Unless I'm much mistaken that's GWB jumping about in the background...which would explain a lot...
