World's Greenest Truther Strikes Again

David Ray Griffin recycles the same old crap over and over again. I'd say he's still recycling his poop from 2003, but that isn't precisely true, because it wasn't even his poop back then; he was recycling the work of Nico and the Web Fairy and Eric Hufschmid and Jared Israel.

This year being the tenth anniversary and all, he's outdone himself. He has not one, but two dumps headed for the recycling bin. One is titled 9/11 Ten Years Later, and the other basically recycles the title: 9/11 Ten Years On. I mean, the guy can't even come up with new titles anymore!

Titles, hell, he doesn't even come up with new covers. Here's a non-conspiracy book by Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan, just released two weeks ago:

I'll be reviewing that book in the next week or so. And here's Grifter's latest dropping:

Well, I suppose it saved him the effort of finding someone to design the cover, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

I am still waiting for Griffin to actually do some original research. He is like a fifth grader doing his book report by cutting and paying from wikipedia.

I'm wondering after Pat "reviews" the Eleventh Day, will he go to those advocates for 9/11 Justice that have been pushing things like Saudi Arabia's connection to the attacks since forever, and apologize? AHAHAH...

What? Islamic fundamentalists on the Arabian Peninsula might be connected to the attack? Say it ain't so, Jon!

Not to mention the fact that Bin Laden's brother was involved in arranged marriages, right, Jon?

 
At 03 August, 2011 13:57, Blogger Jon Gold said...

No idea what you're talking about. If you're referring to Khalil Bin Laden, according to Unger, he "won the attention of Brazilian investigators for possible terrorist connections," and was allowed to leave on those planes for the Bin Ladens and Saudis (an addendum was released to say that "no terrorists escaped from the United States on any of the Saudi flights"). When did I say bin laden's brother was involved in arranged marriages? If you're referring to the Mary Schneider story, it was immigration officials that were involved with it. But I don't ever expect you to be honest... so... no surprise.

 
At 03 August, 2011 14:48, Blogger Jon Gold said...

Incidentally, I haven't pushed Mary Schneider's story for years because she got caught up with Tom Flocco when he took a turn for the worse. However, the story about Khalil is still interesting.

And pointing to an interview that took place 7 years ago, that was my very first interview ever, talking to people that were Howard Stern wannabees that talked over me, that constantly cut me off, that called me names, etc... and so on, in an effort to make me look stupid, is a little disingenuous. Besides, I befriended Jim Norton the next day.

Here is a link to a section in my article that talks about Saudi Arabia.

Here is another link to a section in my article that says, "Zelikow refused to approve half of the interview requests for “Saudi Connection” investigations. He blocked investigators from accessing the 28 redacted pages of the Joint Congressional Inquiry, and then fired investigator Dana Leseman after she tried to get the pages through a back channel. In June 2004, Philip Zelikow and Dieter Snell take part in a “late-night editing session” to delete passages of the 9/11 Report having to do with Saudi support for the hijackers."

Hey, Jon, who said this?

"9/11 was a crime, and elements within our Government and others have MORE THAN EARNED the title of suspect for that crime. That’s how I answer your question of complicity."

This whole business of Saudi involvement is just a smokescreen for you so that you don't come off as insane as the rest of the Truthers. But you are.

 
At 03 August, 2011 16:01, Blogger Jon Gold said...

They have, and I say that as often as possible. Saudi Arabia is only one part of the cover-up. Have you even acknowledged that part of the cover-up Pat? I remember back in the day when someone would mention the word "cover-up," and people like you would go ape shit and act as though there wasn't one. Now that Saudi Arabia's part in the cover-up is starting to be exposed, will you act like you knew it all along? Will you act like Bush covering up for Saudi Arabia is no big deal, and doesn't call for accountability? Will you apologize to those advocates for 9/11 Justice that have been pushing that part of the cover-up forever? HA!

At 03 August, 2011 16:49, Blogger Arcterus said...

Of course not. It's not about making any coherent sense of anything, it's about trying to show what they believe to be holes in hopes that by asking enough questions (regardless of whether or not they're answered) they will be rewarded with a new investigation. It allows the truthers to spout whatever nonsense they like without explaining what it means or trying to fit anything together. As Pat said, it's a smokescreen to make them look less nuttier. It's the same tactic that allows them to say "we're not trying to prove inside job". Which is bullshit. Nobody would go so far for "accountability" and whatever other frequent term Jon Gold likes to use if they just thought they'd end up with the same people. Jon has been talking lately about how he's sacrificed his friends and his health for this movement...for what? To clarify some things that wouldn't have any impact on the overall explanation? Bullshit. You're not expecting this to end with "Well, I guess it was Bin Laden after all!" You have an idea about what happened but you know you can't prove it, so you pretend you're "just asking questions" when, really, you're just grasping at straws.

Three recent books detail a Saudi support network for the hijackers in the US:

The Eleventh Day (Summers and Swan)

Keys to the Kingdom (Sen. Graham)

The Next Wave (Herridge)

These authors fail to ask the obvious question-how did that network affect the conduct of US intelligence?

This is a question that hasn't been credibly answered since the attacks.

I don't know what this thread is about, either, but I'm enjoying it.

Jon's a truther loon, but WAY easier to deal with than you-know-who.

As for Arabs and 9-11, pull the other one!

Now you're moving the goalposts, Jon. When you talked to Taibbi you did not say that elements in our government had covered up the crime of 9-11, you said that they were suspects for the crime of 9-11.

 
At 03 August, 2011 17:09, Blogger Jon Gold said...

First of all... covering up the crime of 9/11 is a crime in and of itself, and people should be held accountable for it, and everything that has been covered up should be exposed for the world to see. Secondly, elements within our Government and other Governments have MORE THAN EARNED the title of suspect for the crime of 9/11. Along with people like OBL, KSM, 19 hijackers, etc... and so on. In my opinion of course. Why can't we have both? I have never moved the goalposts. I get it... no one should be held accountable... moving on.

Because they are true.

In 2001 I was going through Computer School. Two of the guys with me worked for the Department of Defence, they were still using Windows 95, as was the FBI. They joked that the average 15 year old girl had more computing power than most government agencies.

It's cool to picture the FBI with the latest geewhiz computers but for the most part they're probably still using XP.

"These authors fail to ask the obvious question-how did that network affect the conduct of US intelligence?

This is a question that hasn't been credibly answered since the attacks."

It has.

Robert Baer wrote one dealing specifically about Saudi influence:

http://www.amazon.com/Sleeping-Devil-Washington-Saudi-Crude/dp/1400052688/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_3

and he wrote one that is the best insider's account of the CIA's lack of serious interest in terrorism:

http://www.amazon.com/See-No-Evil-Soldier-Terrorism/dp/140004684X/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_2

So the answers are there, you just need to find them (or accept them).

 
At 03 August, 2011 17:24, Blogger Track said...

If we go by Baer's book on Saudi/US dealings the likely scenario was that high level US officials ordered US intelligence to back off Saudi links to al Qaeda. Is that what you are suggesting? If so that completely negates all the "true" explanations I listed.

Everyone here apparently doesn't believe in accountability

Another baseless personal observation, masquerading as truther fact.

Here is a comment from your site:

"I am not going to put pressure on the White House for a new investigation. I do not want Washington D.C. to investigate the attacks. It simply cannot be trusted to do so, as was proven with the Joint Congressional Inquiry, the PENTTBOM investigation, NIST's investigation, and especially the 9/11 Commission."

What proof, Jon? The rubbish you truthers have been bleating on about for years?

The NIST reports, for example, were thorough investigations carried out by professionals.

It’s out there for all to see, and so far, all we have in way of disagreement is box-boy Gage’s idiotic site.

The rest of the world (i.e. the professionals) has gone about adapting the report’s recommendations into building codes and such.

So, here are the two major obstacles in the NIST reports that truthers find unpalatable:

1. It was thorough.
2. It was carried out by professionals.

Truthers are neither, hence their objections.

And by now Jon Gold is so desperate to be right about something that he's trying to prove things we already know. What? Saudi involvement in 9/11? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

And he's still calling the US government "suspects" while making other accusations of them that require the "official story" to be true. That is a level of self-contradiction I cannot comprehend.

Jon Gold and his Truthaction buddies need to accept that their bullshit is never going anywhere, and go find something productive to do with their time.

Jon, I'm continuously amused that you keep bringing up things I'm aware of, as if it would be new information to me. As an ex-truther, and one associated with the TruthAction crowd in particular, has it crossed your mind that I'm familiar with pretty much everything you have to say? Nothing surprises me and nothing compels me. I know everything you have to throw at me because I've been there and I can understand why it's either irrelevant or simply bullshit - something every truther argument boils down to.

Secondly, elements within our Government and other Governments have MORE THAN EARNED the title of suspect for the crime of 9/11. Along with people like OBL, KSM, 19 hijackers, etc... and so on. In my opinion of course. Why can't we have both?

It would help if you could articulate what crime occurred. You seem to have chosen your guilty parties without deciding what they're guilty of.

I get it... no one should be held accountable... moving on.

Name the crime, name who did it, and you'll be onto something. Keep pissing in the wind with insinuations and half-assertions and you'll keep getting nowhere.

TR, Saudi involvement in 9/11 was was not only not acknowledged, it was covered up through the redaction of the 28 pages. So for you to act as if it's been investigated is disingenuous.

Arcterus, part of the reason that real truthseekers (as opposed to the conspiracy theorist you once were--you were never a truthseeker) keep at it after all this time is that we look in horror at the lazy and despairing cynicism that you regard as wisdom, and we despise it, and we want to show you and those like you something better.

Paul w, the NIST report on WTC7 is a joke. But at least they were honest enough to take out the claim that their analysis was "consistent with physical principles". So they give us one that is not.

The report on the towers is anything but thorough. It ignores the vital issues of symmetry, totality, and speed of collapse; of molten steel, of the pulverization of the concrete, and the destruction of the persistent core.

RGT, for crimes you could start with destruction of evidence, obstruction of justice, perjury. Condi's lies under oath are blatant. 9/11 Commissioners Kean and Hamilton wrote that they considered referring NORAD's lies to the DoJ.

Ian, the famine is about Somalia. 9/11 and its effects on the integrity of this society are about America.

To the contrary. I think you have that exactly reversed. A conspiracy theorist is stubborn, has low standards of evidence, and sees conspiracies everywhere despite legitimate explanation. A truthseeker caught in the midst of all that can eventually wade through the bullshit and find himself back in reality, as I have. The rest of you who cling to your falling movement, supported by no real evidence and with no legitimate backing from credible experts, you are the true conspiracy theorists.

Jon wrote about "Ex-Truthers" over at the TruthAction forums. He has some interesting ideas, so I thought I'd clarify a few things for him, assuming he's still checking in on this thread.

Those people who used to be "activists" for this cause, but one day decided all of the information...

Not "one day", over time. I spent a good deal of time thinking about it, I didn't just get up out of bed an go "Hey...wait a minute..."

on the table about 9/11 is irrelevant...

Mhm. Or bullshit. Whichever.

and unworthy of their time.

Being relevant or legitimate are two very important requirements to being worthy of my time, I should think.

That nothing suggests a cover-up.

Mhm.

That people shouldn't be held accountable for wrong-doing.

No, that people have already been held accountable for their wrong-doing. We know who did it and have responded in kind. The accountability you seek is for people who are part of this cover-up that you can't even come close to proving.

That the official story has no problems with it whatsoever.

More or less.

That each investigation into 9/11 was good, etc...

Mhm.

They also became extreme assholes.

That's bullshit. I've been like this for years. I acted this way towards idiots back in my TruthAction days too.

Then SnowCrash had this to say:

It's as if they are begging for admission into the debunker country club by washing their hands clean of all traces of trutherism.

Not really. I just find this place entertaining. I enjoy debate, especially debates which make me laugh due to the complete ineptitude of one side. It's the same reason I debate with creationists.

There are some good exchanges about how the "debunker" community can never succeed (too extremist and too rigid) in their position on 9/11 on the911freeforum.

I haven't read the thread being referred to, but I figure the side which will succeed will be the side which has factual merit behind it. Let's see where the score lies so far:

Debunkers: 497
Truthers: 0

I don't think even Johnny Unitas can stage a comeback like that...

Anyway, hope that clarifies some things for you Jon, and some misconceptions you may have had about why people leave the truth movement.

About 2 years ago I wrote this blog about them:

Some of them left some amusing comments on my blog, here's an example:

"Average Joe Body Builder said...

WhyAskQuestions, what can i say? you never touched the actual evidence, but want to deconstruct the brain patterns of the truthers, but not the actual thermite that was found there, you want to discuss their paranoia, but not the fact that BBC reported building 7 as destroyed before the actual event. you want to discuss their mistrust for the real world, but won't touch the fact that the bush administration told the 911 commission to not go too deeply into the evidence at hand. You seriously have a problem."


And I found another post on a forum about my blog:

http://www.outlawjournalism.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6463&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50

"As an example, I present to you "911 Chewey Defense" - the dumbest debunker on the Internet. "Exposing the lies of truthers!" - http://911truthersexposed.blogspot.com/2009/10/911-truthers-exposed.html CAUTION- reading this will kill brain cells. And old Chewey has claimed to be retired military, a fireman, an engineer, a college professor, a high school teacher, an airline pilot, ad nauseum. "

Why were al Qaeda investigations obstructed before 9/11? That is a question that should concern every citizen in the country. The lapse of time doesn't magically make the question go away. For reasons I don't understand it appears posters on this site think it is admirable to accept the given BS answers mentioned up thread.

One notes how some debunkers hold the government to an extremely low standard of conduct. Evidently all the secrecy is 100% justified.

Government turf wars/obstruction/incompetence/whatever is not the same thing as the government deliberately planting explosives to destroy the WTC.

That's where truthers lose me. If the truth movement was about making government more accountable to the people, well, sign me up.

The problem is that any new investigation would be not find any evidence of death-ray beams from space, hologram planes, magic nanothermite, micro-nukes, or whatever, and then truthers would call foul and demand a new investigation.

I have tried to find out. I note how you think it's somehow my job to get past layers of secrecy. What is that about? Your pals on the 9/11 Commission had a mandate to get answers and they failed. Your media pals have vast resources and access to power and they failed too. Do you give them a pass?

Alec Station and the FBI UBLU obstructed the Cole investigation and the search for al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar in a period when "the system was blinking red." Yes, Pulitzer Prize winning author Lawrence Wright even used the phrase "obstruction of justice" in reference to Alec Station's refusal to share information about the al Qaeda Malaysia meeting with the Cole investigators.

I believe the public has a right to know what the White House, CIA and FBI were doing in relation to pre-9/11 al Qaeda investigations. Where are the interviews with Richard Blee (chief of Alec Station at the time) and Rodney Middleton (chief of the FBI UBLU) at the time?

As mentioned up thread there appears to be a connection between obstructed investigations and Saudi involvement.

It's not a matter of my not liking the given answers or refusing to accept them out of some need to feed delusional conspiracy beliefs. I've read most of the mainstream books and they don't resolve the issue of obstructed investigations. At best we have informed speculation. What sort of standard is that?

John Farmer (9/11 Commission senior counsel):

So the question has always been quite simple: Why wasn’t the Mihdhar information shared with the F.B.I.? “That is one of the big mysteries. Why was the information not passed on?” Mr. Farmer told The Observer. Mr. Farmer is also the author of a recent book about the attacks, Ground Truth. “And the explanations aren’t good,” he added.

Track, the debunkers resort to the ultimate argument from authority, don't they: "The government has the answers, they're secret; that's how it should be, we don't need to know; I trust them, it's okay, shut up and get back to work."

Paul w, there's a whole book about the obstruction of the al Qaeda investigation by Kevin Fenton. Haven't read it yet, but examples off the top of my head are:

1. Maltbie and Frasca rewriting the FISA application to search Moussaoui's computer. These applications are almost never denied, but those two sabotaged the application.

2. Behrooz Sarshar's squelched warnings about upcoming attacks

3. FBI agents Miller and Rossini being forbidden to inform their FBI colleagues about the presence of al Qaeda operatives inside the USA

And asking for proof before there's even been a proper investigation is kind of disingenuous.

Paul w, the only way to try harder is with subpoena power.

SH, for what is meant by "Saudi" see the August Vanity Fair.

Ian, beliefs are not the point. The point is that we've been lied to, the media have been intimidated and deballed, and we need investigations we can trust. Your lazy cynicism will not preserve democracy.

Much better to go to court first. File a suit that states an actionable complaint and alleges sufficient facts. You don't need to prove anything, just set out what you think happened and what you intend to prove. Getting it to discovery means you get Subpoena Power to compel production of materials and depose witnesses. It forces your opponent to do most of the digging for you.

The goat fucker lies, "...Using m/s2 for a velocity is not an egregious fault. Using it for an acceleration, like you do, is."

PROOF:

If velocity remains constant, velocity is expressed as v = s /t, where s = linear displacement, which is measured in meters (m); t = time, which is measured in seconds (s) and v = velocity, which is expressed in meters per second (m/s).

On the other hand, if acceleration remains constant, acceleration is expressed as v = v0 + a t, where a = acceleration, which is expressed in meters per second squared (m/s2); t = time, which is measured in seconds (s) and v0 = initial velocity, which is expressed in meters per second (m/s).

As a result, I challenge you to show me one instance--just ONE!--where velocity is expressed as m/s2.

"...In physics, velocity is the measurement of the rate and direction of change in the position of an object...a quantity that is measured in metres per second (m/s)." -- Wikipedia, velocity.

Thus, you're a liar, charlatan and a fraud who knows nothing about "physics."

Utterly FALSE!

You cannot convert meters per second squared (m/s2) to meters per second (m/s)--you cretin. AGAIN, ACCELERATION IS NOT VELOCITY! You can only use the following formula to determine a value for velocity:

v = v0 + at

Hence, if the initial velocity is 60 m/s and the acceleration is 10 m/s2, the velocity after 2 seconds is calculated as follows:

60 m/s + (10 m/s2 * 2 s) =
60 m/s + 20 m/s = 80 m/s


Thus, in this case

v = 80 m/s

And that's why I make the big bucks, and you're a lowly college dropout who wears women's underwear.

Furthermore, this evasion UTTERLY fails to answer my simple question:

It hits harder, actually, because it's more robustly constructed. If the top block hit with 31 g's as Bazant claims, then it would have destroyed itself right there.

Imagine you're trying to break down a door--with your head. You hit the door, the door hits back. How far do you think you'd get? Bazant would have you believe that if you just get a nice running start and hit the wall hard enough, you can break right through it in one try. Dr. Bazant lives on a special planet.

UtterFail, your quibbling about diction does not change the fact that m/s2 is a velocity, not an acceleration.

m/s^2 is an acceleration.

The goat fucker lies, "...your quibbling about diction does not change the fact that m/s2 is a velocity, not an acceleration...m/s^2 is an acceleration."

False.

You pull your "facts" out of your ass.

The blog's software doesn't support exponent fonts, thus it's perfectly acceptable to use m/s2 or m/s^2 for acceleration.

Furthermore, m/s2 is NOT a velocity. Velocity is expressed in meters per second (m/s) and m/s ONLY. No competent scientist would use "m/s2" when he can simply express the units as m/s (meter per second).

"...In physics, velocity is the measurement of the rate and direction of change in the position of an object...a quantity that is measured in metres per second (m/s)." -- Wikipedia, velocity.


Again, all you provide is your worthless, unqualified and unprofessional opinion.

Face it, goat fucker, you don't know the difference between acceleration and velocity. In fact, you're so fucking ignorant of the laws of physics that you actually tried to convert acceleration to velocity--which is simply illogical. This is equivalent to trying to count the number of oranges in your possession by counting apples. Your ignorance is only exceeded by your arrogance and dishonesty, goat fucker.

Pathetic.

Brian doesn't know m/s2 all that well. He just wants to talk about it because it makes him seem intelligent. Well he's not intelligent at all.

9.81 m/s2 doesn't mean free fall speed at all and that's what Brian thinks is it when its not.

Brian lost the war on m/s2.

I've named the evidence many times. I've pointed at the links, and all you guys do is lie about it.

I know 9.81 m/s2 doesn't mean free fall speed. Also I know that "free fall speed" is a misnomer. You are the one who claimed wrongly that 9.81 m/s2 (as opposed to 9.81 m/s^2) represented the acceleration of gravity. You guys have expended enormous energies in trying to confuse that simple point. You're making this forum a waste of time--suicide bombing your own market square.

At 11 August, 2011 11:04, Blogger GuitarBill said...

Idiot scribbles, "...I used it upthread as an expression of a velocity, dumbass."

How many times must I explain this to you, fuckhead?

Scientists use the International System of Units.

Velocity is specified by SI, and there's only ONE way to express velocity, and that's meters per second (m/s), not "m/s2"--you fucking idiot.

Acceleration, on the other hand, is expressed in meters per second squared (m/s2 or m/s^2), as I pointed out up thread on numerous occasions.

And you still utterly FAILED to answer my question.

I DIDN'T ASK YOU FOR AN EXAMPLE YOU PULLED OUT OF YOUR LYING ASS--YOU RETARDED FELCHER. I ASKED YOU FOR AN EXAMPLE FROM A CREDIBLE SOURCE. FOR EXAMPLE, SHOW ME ONE SCIENTIFIC PAPER WHERE "M/S2" IS USED TO EXPRESS A VELOCITY.

YOU CAN'T, ASSHOLE?

THEN STFU.

 
At 11 August, 2011 11:37, Blogger GuitarBill said...

The goat fucker lies, "...You are the one who claimed wrongly that 9.81 m/s2 (as opposed to 9.81 m/s^2) represented the acceleration of gravity."

Are you really that dishonest and stupid, goat fucker?

WAQ did a cut-and-paste of verbiage from Wikipedia's acceleration page. Since SLC's HTML font set doesn't support exponents, the font was LOST during the cut-and-paste process (Try is yourself, idiot).

As I explained up-thread. EVERYONE (except you, of course) understood that since WAQ was referring to acceleration that m/s2 reads "meters per second squared." Anyone who's familiar with physics understands that acceleration is ALWAYS expressed in meters per second squared. That's why there's no issue. Thus, m/s2 or m/s^2 is understood to read "meters per second squared" when you're referring to acceleration.

So what's your excuse for overlooking (deliberately or otherwise) the obvious--you tiny-brained wiper of other people's buttocks? Is simple HTML beyond your "skill set"?

Idiot.

FAIL

 
At 11 August, 2011 13:09, Blogger snug.bug said...

The point is that WAQo is so ignorant he did not recognize that his post reported a velocity (m/s2) rather than an acceleration (m/s^2).

And you are expending enormous energies trying to pin WAQo's ignorance on me.

 
At 11 August, 2011 13:22, Blogger GuitarBill said...

No, I corrected WAQ back in the "Two Previews In One Day" thread. So you're wrong again, goat fucker. I'm not trying to "pin WAQo's ignorance" on anyone.

FACT: You're both wrong--period.

WAQ was wrong about the relevance of air resistance for low density objects, and you're wrong about the units used to express velocity (m/s) and acceleration ("m/s^2" or, lacking the necessary HTML capability, "m/s2").

And I'm still waiting for an answer to my question.

"...I challenge you to show me one instance--just ONE!--where velocity is expressed as m/s2." (By a credible source, not units that you pulled out of your ass.)

FAIL

 
At 11 August, 2011 14:39, Blogger snug.bug said...

UtterFail, barleycorns/week is a perfectly acceptable expression for velocity.

m/s2, however, is not, because it is inherently ambiguous and subject to confusion with m/s^2, the expression for acceleration.

You really should plug into Mission College and get yourself an education.

 
At 11 August, 2011 15:05, Blogger GuitarBill said...

The goat fucker squeals, "...UtterFail, barleycorns/week is a perfectly acceptable expression for velocity."

You can also express velocity in cubits per second--you fucking retard. But that's not the international standard. Real scientists--you twit--use international units specified by the International System of Units (SI). And the SI specifies that velocity is expressed in meters per second (m/s), not "m/s2" as you falsely insist. SI specifies that acceleration, on the other hand, is expressed in meters per second squared. There are no NO exceptions to the rule--period.

Again:

"...In physics, velocity is the measurement of the rate and direction of change in the position of an object...a quantity that is measured in metres per second (m/s)." -- Wikipedia, velocity.

"...In physics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time...In SI units, acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s2)." -- Wikipedia, acceleration

And you still have not answered my question:

"...I challenge you to show me one instance--just ONE!--where velocity is expressed as m/s2." (By a credible source, not units that you pulled out of your ass.)

I've asked you this question at least a dozens times in this thread alone; yet, you can't provide evidence from a CREDIBLE SOURCE to substantiate your assertion. (Not a unit you pulled out of your ass for the sake of your latest attempt at dishonest "debate"). And your continued refusal to substantiate your argument proves beyond a doubt that you're lying.

Thus, let the record show that the goat fucker can't provide ONE EXAMPLE of a scientist using "m/s2" to express or quantify velocity.

Once again, you FAIL, goat fucker.

Furthermore, I'm a graduate of the University of Texas Austin and Santa Clara University. If anyone needs to attend Mission College it's you, goat fucker. Of course, Mission College would never accept a lying charlatan of your ilk to their AS degree program (Which you couldn't complete under any circumstance. After all, you're a junior college dropout.)

Stick to pseudo-science and wearing women's underwear, goat fucker, because you know nothing about the physical sciences.

WAQ was wrong about the relevance of air resistance for low density objects.

Actually it was about free fall being achieved in a vacuum. Brian believes that Ground Zero was in a vacuum.

No, WAQo, I don't believe that there was a vacuum. NIST said "essentially in free fall". I haven't measured it myself.
