Real or Fake, Coincidence or Conspiracy!

I found this article worth reading because although it is an assumption that Bin Laden wasnt a real person and that it wasnt him on those videos that were put out. After Sept. 11 presidnet BUsh was allowed to make any decisions. It was persumed for americans to accept what it was.

Bomboing afganastan was soley based on Bin Laden confession tape verbally stating that he was the reason for the planes being crashed into the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001. In this video the narrator states that the man in the video is nto Bin Laden.

Due to the fact that the tape itself was very poor quality and the man in the video looks and acts nothing like Osama Bin Laden. "According to the FBI website, Osama is Left handed but showed in the video he writes and maneuver with his right hand." In the video Osama also wears a gold ring. According to the islamic law, wearing it is forbidden.

This video also show the assumed Osama Bin Laden in 5 different tapes sent to the US. That is a real BIG problem for the American government. One of their many lies has been revealed.

World trade center four was one of the world largest gold deposite. 160 billion dollars worth of gold that was assumed to be sitting in the basement of the world trade center. But, on Sept 11 there was no remains of gold. What happened to the gold? The video reveals that the gold was found in the back of a 10 wheel truck along with several cars found in a delivery tunnel underneath World trade center 5. No truth came forward. The Government made no effort to look into the reasonings or make it nationally known.

JImmy Walter believes that the acts of 911 was a self inflected wound.
I belive that this whole act is over money and land. Bush wants money and oil and Osama wants Land. MY assuptions my not be correct but the government leaves us with no choice but to figure it out on our own and allow history to be made.

Who Is Osama Bin Laden? Does the Media Lie??: Conspiracies..Coincidence.. haha

The media has become the best way of communicating to the public. Although at times what's put through the media may not be correct the government allows and expect those who watch it to believe that these are facts vs. stories. The conspiracies of 9/11 has been the most controversial and filled with the most conspiracies. These conspiracies have became a huge influence on people due to their exposure to their main source of media. As a watcher of media, we tend to believe the news and radio stations. Its kind of like the more people hear it, the more believable it becomes to them.

Who is Bin Landen? & As American what do we think of Bin Laden?

No one knows who Osama Bin Laden is. Pakistains are interviewed in this Video and they say that Osama Bin Laden is not a real person and that hes a character made up by American Goverment. An interviewee says that hes a CIA agent sent by Americans and working under cover to put on a bad image of Islam.

How do we respond to the media's influence? Do we just asborb the statements? Do we attempt to find out by research?

You have to watch this one to fully understad how and why the number 11 is so powerful. READ ON!!

Both of these video are very interesting to me because through conspiracies it tends to make you believe what was potrayed by the images and the messages. It never gives you the whole story. The government will not allow it!

Fahrenheit 9/11: Michael Moore

CONFIDENTIAL:

     Fahrenheit 911 is a documentary that I love to watch and I think it was my best way of understanding the overall idea of how The "War On Terror" could have beem prevented. This documentary has allowed me to rethink some things I have thought about and believed about the happenings in the occurrences of 9-11.  It has changed the way I feel about George Bush personally and how one person can make a decision that would affect billions of people on so many levels. Bush to me at times has no idea what he’s supposed to do. He’s a president who needs more that a bit of assistance and more than a hand to accomplish a task. He has also put his self in a relaxed position that allowed terrorist to interfere and become a threat. Bush has become a target to not only real terrorist but people who put their trust in him. Fahrenheit 911 allows me to think that Bush’s idea to send US Troops to Iraq was unnecessary. I do believe that it was a possibility that the plane crash into the Twin Towers but the result of the towers falling completely to the ground could have very much so been prevented.

     I do believe governmental action could have monitor potential attacks prior to 911 but I do think that better preparation could have been done. There is always a chance of terrorist a lot thought that the US had a great amount of power with the image we portrayed. I strongly think that the government could have done things differently. In Fahrenheit 911 its mentions that papers where given to Bush that revealed the break down on how to get prepared for the worse; such as terrorist.  It showed that he didn’t even bother to look at the files given to him. The paper work was said to be prepared for him by Condoleezza Rice herself.  I feel as though it was her responsibility that she should follow up on him reading and understanding what was presented to him.

One question that I do value is:
     What do you think the "war on terror" will mean to your children and grandchildren? Is it a war that can be won? Should it be a war at all?
     I don’t think that it would mean much to my “children” and/or “grandchildren”. It’s a war that’s said and believes to go on for a very long time. Its believed that the “war on terror” will last for a couple of decades. If this is true, my “children” and maybe my “grandchildren” will live through it and be able to understand and know what is going on and have their own opinions about. In reference to the older people who have lived through the war since day one maybe stuck in their own beliefs which make it difficult for them to adapt to what is really going on. This also can be difficult in ways that the younger generation may try to be persuaded into believing the older solely on the fact that we as the older have lived throughout the whole entire war. It was very easy to get into the war. There is a much dangerous and harder way to get out of it. 
     I prefer Fahrenheit 911 over all the other documentaries because its geared more toward how it could have been prevented versus why it happened and who was involved in the happenings. In addition to it being Michael Moore's interpretation of what happened.

Post 5: 1960s Fashion Show Off

European fashion has had an influence on the US on many occasions since the early 1960s. US late introduction to the fashion world showed other countries that they all serve the same purpose. That prupose was to make fashion bigger than what its made oout to be. 

This industry was all about elegency and high class fashion. Models showed off these works for those who could actually afford these pricy outfits and dresses. On the streets women in the 1960s wore mostly mod. Mod, short for a modern, would consist of shrit with big graphics or pants with a design of some sort and a shirt with the exact same design to match.

MINI SKIRT            

                                        

    The mini skirt in the 1960s was very popular. It was one of the main trends for women in the 60s but also controversial due to the fact that everyone couldn't pull off the mini skirt. This fashion trend took off because it was so different and to wear it well you had to be youthful to get away with an outfit that was so controversial among adults. The mini skirt was not a trend that they would want to mock.

SHOES                 Pumps & Boots

Low heeled shoes were the 1960s version of our 2007 stilettos and pumps. Pointed stilettos and  pumps was not a big deal then as it was a few years ago. Boots also were worn in the 60s. Boots that almost reached your knees were a fashion statement. "A cult for Dr. Scholl clog sandals worn in offices and outdoors was all the rage in the mid to late sixties in the same way that Birkenstocks were popular in the 1990s." 1

SIXTIES HAIR

Although the sixties were years of racial tension, fashion was something that they all had in common. They all looked alike and dressed the same. White, Black, Women, Men and children of all races wore similar clothing.

Post #3: A Map's Mystery

The Barrow name reflected the map's preception of "Barrow's Plantation" as unknown. With the expansion of the internet's online services for research, it may be used to tell us the us the who, what, when, and wheres in a search. As for  this case we use or detective senses to in search for the who, the what and the where of Barrow's plantation.

THe name Barrow is a slave name carried by families in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. The Barrow family, not to large in size carried this plantation throught what we believe to be hard work. Through a family search, the Barrow name became familar to the political and the education fields. Researching the Barrow name through the ancestory site, it gave names and ages of those present in oglethorpe County in the same years of the two maps, 1860 and 1881. The Library of Congress site, by searching the name Barrow, gives us the name David C. Barrow. Through a document written by David C. Barrow he gives us an insight of happenings on the plantation. Mentioning the fact; the labors of the farm is performed by the man, who usually does the plowing, and his wife and children who did the hoeing under his direction.2 According to wikipedia members of the Barrow family were political by M. Pope Barrow or Middleton P. Barrow. M.P. Barrow was member of the US senate from 1882- 1883. With the same search David C. Barrow's article is known to have the first image of the plantation.

Trying to find Barrow's Plantation we must use what is known and understood on the given map. By looking at the given map, the plantation very spreaded out with land and enough to be able to do land work with a source of water from the Little Lake and Branch creek going through Barrow's plantation. The Map informs us that the location of the two map is Oglethorpe County, Georgia. Olgethorpe County, Georgia was overall a very large county in population, According to the 1860 Census. Barrow's plantation only consisted of 3 whites' and one hundred and sixty-two colored people.1  The maps gives an outset of the Civil War being a major influence as to the change over years. It illustrates the effect of emancipation on plantation life in the south. Going though the years they began to want "elbow room" so one by one the families moved their housed to the farms.3 This became convient to those who decided to move, even still, others even walked miles to to reach their work.

Although through the maps we can see that the civil war land was well spaced out and the people became more independent, the exact location of Barrow's Plantation no longer exsist as a plantation. The street is still there, the creek and forks are both still there. The transformation from that plantation has turned into a present day farm. With the help of the internet in this case, images of Barrow's Plantation can detect that the Location of Barrow's Plantation is still there. But to call is Barrow's Plantation, that's something that it's not.

When first looking at the map and its oreintations: a compass, alegend, the land, bodies of water are things you would typically see on a regular map. The mystery in the map of Barrows plantation is one of the obvious. I found it out of the ordinary that a compass would be missing on an image of a map.

How Barrow's Plantation is presently unknown to many, it doesnt have to have to. Because the internet is expanding everyday; to use the internet as a primary source can be just as helpful as using a text. You may have to bring your detctive magnifying glasses but its there and through research you can find it.

#2 Paintings Talk

    Wi-jon-jun’s translated the Pigeon’s Egg head, painting “The Clue in the Painting, embodies his personal achievements as well as his personal and political opinions to altogether show his greatness. Although the conflict between the Native American and White was depicted in early nineteenth century, their costumes, conditions and manners were very much similar.

   

Wi-jun-jon (the Pigeons Egg Head) was a brave warrior of the Assinneboin. With characteristics like young, brave, handsome, valiant and graceful, he did not seem like the exact person to become interested in an enemy. His position was of the best and highly ranked. There were high expectations for a man like him. He also follows great with his father being Chief of the Nation.

    When looking at the image it shows that Wi-jun-jon possesses strong morals and values. With his Native American and family's political background in the early nineteenth century he also adapted natural leadership ability.  He was fully dressed in his native costume while leading his fellow Native Americans to Washington.  During this journey Wi-jun-jon became sociable with the 'whites' and became interested in the happenings in Washington. Wi-jun-jon was determined in his mission; being Wi-jun-jon interests was different because of the way he addressed the issue with important people.

     After his travels, Wi-jun-jon was layered military style...
     It was broadcloth material, of the finest blue, trimmed with the lace of gold, his neck as strangled with a shining black stock, and his feet were pinioned in a pair of waterproof boots, with high heels, on his head was a high crowned beaver hat with a silver lace band surmounted by a huge red feather, his coat collar stiff with a lace, a large medal was suspended around his neck on his hands were a pair of white kid gloves with umbrella in one hand and a large fan in the other hand with a bung-hole of a little keg of whiskey.

    Wi-Jun-jon (The Pigeon's Egg Head) walked telling his story of the meeting the president, just as his enemies about their adventures.  His friends knew that he had been around the white" people, who were known as great liars, so they treated him that an imposter as would was a sell-out the Native American culture. With the beliefs that their sell-out of a friend would begin to portray himself as a white they did what they would do to a person of the white race. It shows that he was easily influenced.  The other Native American felt that Wi-jun-jon was betraying their race; they did not want to follow.

     The death of Wi-jun-jon was rather soon and planed but assumed to be reasonable. "A warrior and a brave of the valiant Assinneboins, who traveled eight thousand miles to see the president, and all the great cities of the civilized world; and foretelling the truth and nothing but the truth, was disgraced and killed for a wizard...."

Chesapeake Mystery Post 1 : Race, Class or Law

     Katherine might not have done things according to the 1681 Virginia state law, but unknowingly breaking the law was possible to get away with. In this time period it was ok for her qualifications to get by, most importantly her race. Although the law didn’t play an important role but it was considered and thought to be used, race was proven difficult and complicated for social separation of African Americans from whites.

     Katherine Wakins being attacked and raped in pursuit home on one afternoon in August of 1681, by the allege John Long, a Negro slave. Katherine being a white female whose husband was a Quaker in addition being a Negro and deciding to attack her was almost the worst thing he could have done. Even though the present time of seventeenth century in Virginia and being on trial only gave us the early stages of slavery and minimum visual of punishment.

     There was no proof and it was not mentioned that Katherine knew John prior to the attack. All the court could go by was word of mouth by those who were present. Then accuracy would be questioned due to different levels of consumed syder. Even though it was a Negro she was flirting with doesn’t mean she’s not allowed to find them attractive. This point in history shows the difficulty in how different race and different social class have similar interest. Katherine, of a higher social class, finding interest in this Negro, that’s not even in labeled.

     In the end, laws are made to be broken and crimes are committed with hopes in not being caught. Social class and race may be factors but to Katherine it wasn’t difficult to show. Death penalty was always an option, but what do you charge a person for, who do you charge; the person who gets raped or the person who sparks interest?

"I believe In Children Being Angels"

The word angel derives from angiras (Sanskrit), a divine spirit also meaning courier, Greek meaning messenger. A supernatural being intermediate between God and man. They are said to be most involved with humanity, guiding and protecting us. They can not interfere with our destinies.

So instead of trying to remember all these angel triads and who this one represents etc. how about going about it the simplest way. CALL ON THE LORDS OF FLAME AND LIGHT. These lords will delegate an appropriate angel to help us with our plight. Now angels cannot interfere with our destinies they are known as the Gatekeepers. They can open doorways to other realms allowing these realms to help us with our day to day lives.

In various human mythologies an angel is believed to be an ethereal creature whose duties are to assist and serve the God or gods of many religious traditions. The word originated from the Latin angelus, itself derived from the Greek αγγελος, ángelos, meaning “messenger” (double gamma "γγ" is pronounced "ng" in Greek). The closest Hebrew word for angel is מלאך, mal'ach , also meaning messenger. ...
