time of death at 9:25pm...

pretty sure that is when he was declared dead. By that point in was in the emergency room

the time line is something like the cops called for an ambulance at 8:22PM.

The ambulance workers found him unconscious when they got there and they put him in ambulance and he went into cardiac arrest. They tried to revive him a few times and eventually they was an official call of death.

this apparently is not unusual

You're getting played by the Gateway Pundit again.

The FBI did not make that claim

I don't think NYC had tornadoes.

Though they have had them every so often

I don't know about oligarchs but he has has there is apparently a purge of the military going on 4 high up folks have been arrested and the minister of defense demoted.

Reports like these say the FSB, what used to be the KGB, is going after the military with Putin's blessing.

The recent arrests of five top Russian military officers are likely just the first of dozens of military figures who will be jailed in a sweeping purge by the security services, Russian government officials and sources close to the Kremlin and the Defense Ministry told The Moscow Times

Also, colluding with Russian oligarch, NOT the Russian government, it should be noted. ()They accused DJT of colluding with the Russian government (Putin))

In the Russian system, oligarchs are often used as elements of the state. The way it's set up there is that basically you are allowed to become an oligarch and have your power if you help out the state.

The Russian oligarch in this instance is Oleg Deripaska. This is the guy Manafort owed money to. He was sanctioned by the US in 2018 for being an arm of the Russia government.

Oleg Deripaska is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13661 for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, a senior official of the Government of the Russian Federation

This FBI guy was trying to help him get off the list.

Deripaska is definitely tied to Putin

The Klan in the 20s was like the second coming of the Klan. They were still anti-black but they also started focusing a lot more on anti-Semitism and anti-catholicism. And they started to move overtly into political power but they worked with both parties depending on what state they were in. Check out D. C. Stephenson Indiana which might have been the state the Klan was most powerful in

The OP's claim that the only the roof of WTC 6 was damaged is false.

The KKK was mainstream and part of both parties in the mid 1920s.

The KKK was particularly upset by the fact the Catholic Al Smith was a possible nominee.

In addition to his Catholicism, the Klan didn't like he was opposed to Prohibition

In 1928 Al Smith won the nomination and became the first Catholic to the Presidential nominee of a major party

That's quite clearly Washington DC.

The 1924 Democratic Convention was held in NYC.

This picture is mislabeled. It's either from a KKK rally in August 1925.

Or September 2026.

Based on this image I think it's the 1926 parade. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/ku-klux-klan-parade-washington-dc-usa-national-photo-news-photo/657566268

OK. This is an old article from when they discussed jury instructions after the defense rested. But the judge did say this.

Some of the decisiona were held off on, but this was announced in court

It will be expanded on in a written ruling.

He told the lawyers this would be done Thursday night

So it's possible the lawyers already know

Wow, that's great news! That means all the deep staters on Ivan The Terrible's hit list can be rounded up and we won't have to agree as to what the crime was...think Coment Pizza... just that something fi****

That's not what this ruling says.

if none is specified in the indictment or even during the damn trial?

It was mentioned in another court filing

2
CriticalThinking4Me 2 points ago +2 / -0

It has been.

I believe 3 possible predicates were mentioned

I know that one was specifically mentioned in opening arguments

These jury instructions will be given to the jury.

I think you missing the dynamics of large population areas

Trump won Nebraska by 20 points. He won Idaho by 30 points

He got more raw votes out of New York City than either of these states.

There's 15 million people nearby. It's a deep pool.

Good debate

Cheers.

They were swaying from the impact of the plane just like they were designed to do to compensate for the high winds at that altitude.

Right. The impact of the planes was a massive, massive force.

But that like 45 minutes before the collapse. The swaying would be over.

Btw as I type this, I'm on bus right next to world trade plaza.

What force other than gravity would affect how they fell.

I had heard some folks who thought they would go over sideways like a tree with a sold trunk, but I think that has issues too

What direction should we have expected them to fall?

What are the other options other than straight down.

I did see it, But 800°C is way above the danger zone. This is why steel in buildings is always coated with a fire resistant material.

Structural steel will soften at 425°C an at around 650°C, the steel will lose half of its strength

https://www.fireengineering.com/fire-prevention-protection/fireproofing-at-the-wtc-towers/#gref

Fireproofing is a critical fire safety feature of steel high-rise structures because steel begins to elongate between approximately 800°F and 1,000°F, temperatures easily reached by normal residential and commercial contents fires.

The jet fuel would have burnt off quick and was gone by the time of collapse. It did have the effect of setting everything on fire at once, normal fires aren't like that.

Also, the towers came down in their own footprint

Check out the pictures I posted Building 6 would have been in touched if the debris was limited to the Tower's foot print.

You can see the outside columns of the Tower laying on the destroyed WT6 then a giant crater. Like Godzilla stepped on it.

Cheers

Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel, it may weaken it

It may? It does. How do think a blacksmith bends and shape metal

So this guy worked for the CIA in the 1980s.

Then in the 2004 goes to work as contract Translator for the FBI.

He was arrested in 2020.

The espionage supposedly began in 2001. The FBI has video of him meeting with his handlers. And an undercover FBI guy got him to confirm the video in 2019

But we don't know who made the video or when the FBI got it.

Also notice how the DOJ says ex CIA officer in the headline.
