It only went well for them because most people never question what their beloved leaders tell them, or the controlled lamestream media for that matter.

But, as a crime, 9/11 did not go very well at all; the amount of evidence that exists to absolutely prove the government set the whole thing up is staggering. There are hundreds of ‘red flags’, hundreds of smoking guns. Take a look at the FBI file for Osama Bin Laden (CIA code name: Tim Osman). The FBI does not even want him in connection with 9/11. Give them a call, they will tell you! There is no evidence whatsoever linking Bin laden to 9/11. Osama even condemned the attack and outright denied any involvement in it almost immediately after the events. If you think those grainy videos of what is purported to be him admitting to involvement (including the one with the fat Bin Laden) are genuine, then think again.

Dr. Stephen Jones of BYU, the same Dr. Jones who coined the term ‘cold fusion’ agrees. He is a physics professor who has concrete, irrefutable evidence that destroys the official version (also known as 'the omission commission report'). Recently he obtained samples of debris from the towers (which was amazing considering most of the evidence was straight away, and illegally, shipped to China!). He analyzed these samples and discovered thermate residue on them (his tests have been peer reviewed). Thermate is a specific, and patented, form of thermite. This is an explosive/incendiary material used by demolition experts to cut through steel columns. Those towers were brought down by controlled demolition. There is video that even shows squibs exploding up to 20 stories below the collapse zone. And have you ever timed how long the buildings took to collapse? They fell at close to the maximum speed gravity would allow them to fall, despite the upper sections having to break nearly 100 floors on their way down! Common sense, and the laws of physics, would certainly suggest that each floor would slow down the collapse slightly as it was crushed. But that did not happen. The buildings fell neatly onto their own footprints. If a bowling ball was dropped from the same height, and with only air between it and the ground below, it would not have taken any longer to complete its decent.

The flight manifests (passenger lists) contained the names of no Arabs. 7 of the 19 alleged highjackers are still alive! Another one died the year previously! What the hell caused building #7 to fall?

The Arabs were patsies. They thought they were taking part in an exercise, nothing more. There were many exercises happening that day. Exercises and drills for the exact same scenarios were in progress at the exact same time the actual events, which were being drilled for, occurred. This is for two main reasons: 1) so anyone caught in the act can claim to be a part of the exercise (plausible deniability), and 2) the exercises caused much confusion so the actual plan was permitted to succeed. During the 7/7 London bombings (also a government black-op) exercises for the exact same thing that occurred were in progress at the exact same time in which they occurred, namely bombs going off at specific stations. Again, this allows people (agents) caught in the act the excuse of claiming they were merely partaking in the exercises. The Arabs (patsies) in London, again, thought they were merely hired by a government agency to take part in a counter-terrorism exercise. That was a very bad choice they made. Little did they know that they were being used and the drill was live. And concerning the London bombings: since when does a bomb in a backpack inside a train carriage cause a hole in the carriage floor with the metal sticking upwards? The bomb was already in place, attached to the underside of the carriage.

I could be typing forever on this; there really is that much evidence. But, again, don’t take my word for it go and look at the evidence for yourselves. Go read what government scientists have written on it, former Blair cabinet minister M. Meacher, a former German government minister, hundreds of engineers and academics, former Regan administration people including the scientist who coined the phrase ‘Reganomics’ and the scientist who worked on the Star Wars project when it was still top secret under presidents Ford and Carter.

Go to Google Video, or a BitTorrent site, and download some of the numerous documentaries on this issue. Documentaries such as: TerrorStorm, Martial Law 9-11: Rise of the Police State, Loose Change 2, etc… etc.

And also go take a look at Operation Northwoods. This is a declassified planned operation devised in the early 1960’s that proposed almost the exact same events carried out on 9/11. The plan at the time was to blame Cuba! But Kennedy refused to OK the plan, thus it never happened. It was Kennedy’s refusal to permit Operation Northwoods combined with his intention to disband the CIA, his desire to pull out of Vietnam and also his desire to end the Federal Reserve that ultimately promoted the shadow government to dispose of him.

Definitely time for a paradigm shift. Everything above checks out. Ignorance is excusable, but arguing against something for which there exists such an immense amount of supporting evidence is nothing less than shear stupidity. Anyone who argues against the fact that the government/secret intelligence agencies are responsible for 9/11 is no less than a low-grade moron. I can say that with absolute confidence, there really is that much evidence. If you think Muslims carried out 9/11 then I have a bridge to sell you on the Moon.

So some studies say high protein, in particular animal protein, causes calcium loss and other studies assert otherwise. Well I wonder which of these studies are financed by the meat industry? The Beef Cattleman’s Association has already been caught in the act, as well as the dairy board, of financing studies to reach predetermined conclusions.

I have a copy of Dr. Stephen Walsh’s book ‘Plant Based Nutrition and Health’. The studies he refers to were mostly conducted in the late 1990’s and 2000’s. These studies seem to support the dodgy 1940’s studies to which you pay reference!

Below is an extract from one of them and links to articles with references:

Quote:
The countries in the lowest tertile of HFI (hip fracture incidence ) (n = 11) had the lowest animal protein consumption, and invariably, vegetable protein (VP) consumption exceeded the country's corresponding intake of animal protein (AP)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/...l=pubmed_docsum


Quote:
Worldwide, rates of hip fractures (and kidney stones) increase with increasing animal protein consumption (including dairy products). For example, people from the USA, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand have the highest rates of osteoporosis. 15,16 The lowest rates are among people who eat the fewest animal-derived foods (these people are also on lower calcium diets) – like the people from rural Asia and rural Africa.15,16
Osteoporosis is caused by several controllable factors; however, the most important one is the foods we choose – especially the amount of animal protein and the foods high in acid.17-19 The high acid foods are meat, poultry, fish, seafood, and hard cheeses – parmesan cheese is the most acidic of all foods commonly consumed.20 This acid must be neutralized by the body.21 Carbonate, citrate and sodium are alkaline materials released from the bones to neutralize the acids. Fruits and vegetables are alkaline and as a result a diet high in these plant foods will neutralize acid and preserve bones. The acidic condition of the body caused by the Western diet also raises cortisol (steroid) levels. 22 Elevated cortisol causes severe chronic bone loss – just like giving steroid medication for arthritis causes severe osteoporosis.

Animal foods, full of protein waste, promote poor health and early death by accelerating the aging process and increasing the risk of diseases, like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, that in their own right, cause premature death. From now on, think of the excess protein you consume as garbage that must be disposed of in order to avoid toxic waste accumulation. Obviously, the best action is to avoid the excess in the first place and this is most easily accomplished by choosing a diet based on starches, vegetables, and fruits. Within a few days of changing to a healthy diet, most of the waste will be gone and the damaged tissues will begin healing.
Unfortunately, you will find little support for such an obvious, inexpensive, and scientifically-supported approach – especially when the common masses of people worldwide are ignorant of the truth – most are gobbling down as much protein as they can stuff in their mouths – and the food industry is supporting this behavior by advertising their products as “high-protein” and "Atkins-approved" – as if this was somehow good for the body. This paradox is age-old, and because it is ruled by emotions, rather than clear thinking, a change in mind-set in your lifetime, should not be expected.

Diets rich in meat protein lead to more uric acid in the urine, and a general increase in urine acidity. because of the acidity, the uric acid does not easily dissolve and can form into kidney stones.

http://www.vegansociety.com/html/fo...ion/protein.php


Quote:
CONCLUSIONS: Elderly women with a high dietary ratio of animal to vegetable protein intake have more rapid femoral neck bone loss and a greater risk of hip fracture than do those with a low ratio. This suggests that an increase in vegetable protein intake and a decrease in animal protein intake may decrease bone loss and the risk of hip fracture.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/...l=pubmed_docsum


And on diabetes:

Quote:
A 1999 study conducted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and Georgetown University looked at the health benefits of a low-fat, unrefined, vegan diet (excluding all animal products) in people with type 2 diabetes.3 Portions of vegetables, grains, and legumes were unlimited. The vegan diet group was compared with a group following a diet based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines (higher in fat and cholesterol and lower in fiber). The results of this three-month study were astounding. The vegan group lowered their fasting blood sugars 59 percent more than the group following the ADA diet. Many discontinued their medications, another benefit not enjoyed by the ADA group. The vegan group lost an average of 16 pounds, compared with only about 8 pounds in the ADA group. The vegan group also had more substantial decreases in their cholesterol levels, compared to the ADA group. Although this was a small study, it illustrates that a plant-based diet can dramatically improve the health of people with diabetes.

Well Soy is certainly a contentious issue. But the fact that Soy might contain IGF-1 does little to mitigate the fact that Cows milk is very high in this deadly hormone. So if people want to avoid IGF-1 they had better avoid Cow milk and to be safe Soy too! No big deal, Soy is not the only plant food available!

Soy has its supporters and attackers, on many fronts. Far eastern people seem to thrive on Soy, but then it is said they know how to prepare it properly, and Western commerce cuts costs and does a poor job in removing the toxicity from Soy. Some say soy helps to prevent many cancers; there certainly seems to be some truth to this. Ultimately I consider a small amount of Soy to be beneficial, provided it is organic and non-GM.

I am not making anything up here. If you want actual scientific papers then follow the references given at the base of the following link (or contact the researchers named therein):

Quote:
Michael Greger, MD has done a great deal of research on Crohn’s revealing that many, if not most, cases may be caused by a species of bacteria that is both hard to detect and hard to kill with typical antibiotic therapy. The bacteria reside in some cows and are likely transferred to humans through both milk and meat.

Unfortunately, some vegans have been diagnosed with Crohn’s. There may be several explanations for this:

1. The bacteria have a long incubation period and these vegans may have been infected before becoming vegan.
2. These vegans inadvertently ate some animal products.
3. The bacteria may have routes other than animal products through which to infect humans.
4. Crohn’s disease may have more than one cause.
5. Crohn’s disease is often misdiagnosed.

http://www.veganoutreach.org/health/gotmilk.html


Quote:
It is Dr. Shafran's belief that most of his Crohn's patients contracted their illness after consuming milk or dairy products. Shafran rejects the USDA notion that pasteurization destroys that bacterium responsible for Crohn's. In fact, we discussed the latest evidence which indicates how easily these bacteria (mycobacterium paratuberculosis) can be incubated in labs directly from pasteurized milk sold in supermarkets.

http://www.all-creatures.org/health/crohns2005.html


Quote:
Johne's disease is a condition affecting dairy cows and - evidence suggests - some human consumers of milk. It is caused by a bacterium that interferes with digestion, lowers milk production, and eventually kills infected cows. Research has now linked the disease to the human intestinal disorder Crohn's disease, a type of inflammation in the digestive tract.

Quote:
The most esteemed pediatrician of all time, Dr. Benjamin Spock, advised that children be raised vegan, with zero exposure to dairy products for a variety of reasons.

I appreciate the discussion of nutrition in general and even though my diet contains lean meat sources I can appreciate the vegan / vegetarian diet. I have even considered trying a few times, but found it hard to stick with it.

I felt a few days ago that this was steering away from a civil discussion on nutrition to a personal agenda.

Thank you

To clarify, there's nothing wrong with people have different ideas, theories, and beliefs etc. but this thread had steered way off into something else. i'm sure there's plenty of conspiracy theory forums on the internet, but i don't believe that a cycling forum needs to be one of them!

and should anyone think that i have something against vegetarians/vegans, then you're wrong, as i'm one!
