The POST pounces… Today’s cover showing Hillary as ‘operation’ game
The team, which included of physicists, linguists and computer scientists from the US, Argentina, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland analysed 40-100 basic vocabulary words in around 3,700 languages – approximately 62 percent of the world’s current languages.
NBC NEWS reports the ‘facts’ they claim are true about the Clinton health issue..
I saw a tweet from Michael Moore this weekend joking that the DNC knows how to lose elections..
The company spearheading the effort, VoteCastr, plans real-time projections of presidential and Senate races in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It plans to publish a map and tables of its projected results on Slate, the online newsmagazine.
The company will make its projections by looking at who is actually turning out to vote, and then processing that data through a method known as predictive turnout modeling. The process is similar to how presidential campaign war rooms operate on Election Day, when they track turnout by likely supporters so they can adjust get-out-the-vote efforts accordingly.
“It’s what campaigns do,” said Ken Smukler, the founder of VoteCastr. “We’re flipping up the kimono and letting people see what campaigns do on Election Day.”
Looks like SLATE will be my go-to site this November..
The Clinton campaign is calling this a heat stroke – on a very cool September 11 morning in New York City.. Others are calling it extra suspicious .. and even if this amounts to much ado about nothing, the surreal video of Hillary Clinton shaking uncontrollably before her knees buckle under her will not sooth those who have worried about the candidate’s health for months..
This is going to be the roughest two months of any general election in recent memory.. Both candidates are beginning the final push with very high negatives in polls.. Those who already doubt Trump will not be swayed.. but those who doubt Hillary may be more so.. especially after videos like this make the rounds online..
NBC news including these tidbits of information with its 15 year anniversary 911 coverage:
We knew things were chaotic in the aftermath.. we did not know everything. And that is probably a good thing.. By the 20th and 25th and 50th anniversary of 9/11, we will know even more secrets that have yet to be revealed for security purposes.. We will paint a full picture of the day.
Some more reporting from NBC:
Perhaps the biggest newly uncovered secret is that on the morning of 9/11, when Al Qaeda struck New York and Washington, the Pentagon’s annual “Global Guardian” war game was in full swing. Three dozen real nuclear weapons had been loaded onboard intercontinental bombers in North Dakota, Missouri, and Louisiana.
When Bush left Florida on Air Force One amid fears that terrorists would try take down the presidential plane, he flew right into the middle of the war game.
Air Force One had climbed out of Sarasota airport 51 minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 plowed into the North tower of the World Trade Center and 12 minutes after the Pentagon was struck. The fourth and final hijacked passenger plane, United Flight 93, was still aloft over Pennsylvania.
We knew that war games were occurring the same day of 9/11.. but we only knew of Vigilant Guardian. I wonder what other war games we will find out about on the 20th…?
And it is these war games that have given fodder to those who suspect some sort of conspiracy..
What we did find out since 9/11: The Saudis were more heavily involved than anyone in 2001 admitted. People that day who would have blamed the Saudis would have been called kooks and conspiracy theorists..
Some conspiracies prove true over time.
…..Hillary Clinton and her health are back to the forefront for this coming week..
The ‘official’ word.. Hillary was overheated
Though today has been the coolest day in months across the northeast..
Strange times we live in.
More sources of both left and right paradigm are beginning to circulate tumors and info about Hillary’s abrupt departure from Ground Zero today..
No official word on where candidate Clinton is ..
This could all end up being a wild day of rumors that end up being unfounded or a major development in this election with big ramifications..
You may be the last person to see someone. And save someone.
No cameras.. But witnesses and some reporters claim her knees buckled, she lost her shoes, and had to be rushed away..
No campaign statement.. At this pony wild speculation and urgent news reports from some sources..
Developing.
The day was filled with odd occurrences.. as were days prior and even those since.
One of the most interesting and all-encompassing websites I have frequented over the past decade has been Killtown’s 9/11 Oddities page..
So many years ago.. it seems like an entire age..
The children of 9/11, those who were either too young to remember or just too young to understand, have never known a world prior to the day of infamy. They were not aware of pop culture prior to terrorism.. not inclined to understand a world before World War .. The children of September 11 have grown up. And the adults have aged older.
The newest generation to come of age has grown up online post dial up and post buildings coming down. They watched footage of the terror attacks fifteen years ago but did not watch it on live TV…
Others who did remember what it felt like.. all day.. all night.. all week.. and for the rest of 2001. The swift unkind gusty gale of change took an entire nation and forced it into places it never wanted to go or never thought it would ..
People falling from buildings live for the planet to watch.. the demise of buildings..
And a peaceful field in Pennsylvania scarred and charred by a passenger airplane..
We lived through this 15 years ago. Even though now it does not seem a bit like we did.. the freight train speed passage of time is as surreal as the moment we watched airplanes flying into buildings right after Al Roker talked about weather. From quaint to horror. From normal to a new normal.
And the rest is history.
In 1814, while the British red coats were in the midst of burning down the White House, the Library of Congress, and other governmental institutions, President James Madison had to evacuate. His wife, Dolly, the first lady of the United States, stood in the White House until she knew for sure that a painting of General Washington was safe. The nation was in a standstill. President Madison in a panic about how he would reconvene the government and make the central system work again. On August 25 of 1814, with a glowing red flame in the sky above D.C., nature’s wrath stepped in. The ‘storm of providence,’ as it was dubbed, hit the nation’s Capitol. A fierce wind, perhaps even a small hurricane as some speculate, moved inland. British soldiers reportedly had to lay down in order not to be blown away. A tornado—yes, and maybe more than one twister—formed and moved directly through the city. The blinding rains put out the fires the Brits had set. Legend has it that when British soldiers, while retreating, asked what kind of storms are in this country, someone replied that it was Providence to drive the enemies from the young nation.
If the war of 1812’s conclusion was settled in part by the hand of God, then where was providence on September 11, 2001?
The longest living storm to ever have formed did so in the Atlantic Ocean on September 1, 2001. The hurricane was named Erin. It was weak, and continued to strengthen and weaken during its lifespan in the open waters. At one point, Erin fell apart and dissipated on September 5 of that year, only to reform again and whirl back into a sizable wave.
On September 9, 2001, Erin strengthened itself into a major hurricane. It passed by Bermuda 105 miles east.. It turned. It began to barrel itself directly for the city that never sleeps.. Satellite of the storm is chilling. Erin is massive and swirls right off the East Coast of the United States.
Three hours before the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 began, Hurricane Erin took an immediate and obvious U-Turn away from New York City.
Repeating myself on purpose, where was Providence the way it was there in 1814 during the attack on D.C.?
There are abundant conspiracy theories as to why the hurricane took a quick turn. Some speculate it was HAARP, weather malfeasance. Theories are fun.
But the simple truth: A very strong cold front moved through the Eastern part of the United States, including New York City, and literally forced the storm to bounce away from the United States like it was on a pool table.
Those who were alive and recall what happened 15 years ago –my God, 15 years already—may also recall the beautiful weather across the nation. I live in the same location I did then, Eastern Pennsylvania. I remember the autumnal feel in the air that morning. The sun was brilliant and the skies were deep blue. It was a picture perfect day. It was actually quite possibly one of the most beautiful weather days I recall in my entire life.
It was completely ruined and disjointed forever, however, by the acts of cruelty and terror as mostly Saudi hijackers boarded planes in the United States and crashed them into buildings.
If a chain of events did not occur, history may have been altered. It is really strange to contemplate that. But picture a slower cold front.. picture a hurricane that, suddenly, moves into New York City with whipping winds and flooding rains. Truth be told, there was not much preparation for Erin or even news coverage. I challenge you to go back and find any information of the city preparing for evacuation. Every prediction was clear: The strong Canadian cold front was going to ruin the chances of peril due to a storm.
Nature’s wrath never occurred that day. Instead, God’s brilliant sun beamed down from blue skies over burning buildings and people committing suicide by jumping as opposed to burning to death.
If Erin would have come closer … or even struck .. planes would have been grounded. People would have been moved out from their homes. 9/11 would have become famous for an entirely different reason.
Providence, perhaps, would have prevented something that we never even would have known was going to occur.
But none of that happened. Erin did not slam land, but instead rolled away and paved the way for one of the most disastrous days in history since Pearl Harbor. Or even since 1814..
While researching and thinking about what I would write about on this anniversary of 9/11, I went to the famed archive.org Wayback Machine.
To my surprise, very little captures of famed weather sites exist from September of 2001. It is now nearly impossible for me to even recall my own mindset at the time. I was a Weather Channel addicted nerd since 10 years old. And for some reason I don’t recall knowing a thing about Hurricane Erin at the time the storm was poised to do something off the coastline of the United States.

The other day I tuned into the YouTube channel of Mark Dice. He was doing his man on the street interviews and found just about no one in Southern California that knew much of anything about 9/11. Some people saying a “Hussein” perpetrated the attacks, others claiming it was Iraq and Syria behind them.. 15 years of life takes its toll. And yes, history moves fast. But we are obviously doomed to repeat it without proper knowledge of where we have come from or what we have been through..
Fifteen years ago this September I was working full time as a waiter, staying up very late every night listening to Art Bell until sunrise, and having the time of my life. I just turned 21. I was invincible, as other 21 years olds are when they hit that age. Life doesn’t really happen yet.
My father woke me up that morning and told me we were attacked.. early on, he blamed the Chinese! He was from a time when nations struck, not group of extremists or those aligned with others in the darkness of terror. We watched live on TV as more buildings were attacked, the Pentagon was hit, and as a plane fell from the sky about three hours from my house. If you look at the flight path records for the hijacked planes on 9/11, at least 1 would have flown above the county I live in as it did a U-turn back to New York City.
We filled our car tanks with gas due to fear of price gouging. There was a lot of fear that day. The entire nation had a sense of shellshock, an immediate and confusing reaction that, while knowing things changed, not really knowing yet how they did.
That night I watched George W. Bush, updated my website via FTP on dial up, and never went to sleep. The coverage took over every channel. Every bit of life. Every thing. A few days later, Bush stepped on a heap of carnage in New York with a megaphone. The nation rallied behind war. And today we wonder how we stepped into the nightmare scenario of ISIS and Middle Eastern chess match madness.
It all began there.
It all happened when weather did NOT strike.
There is some strange coincidence in a way… as Hurricane Erin u-turned and paved the way for terror, the hijacked flights away from New York and Boston were also in the middle of u-turning as well.
The stage was set as Erin’s path towards the United States was halted because of a cold front…
And the rest was history.
