How many people are aware that World Trade Center Bldg. 7:
• Was approximately one block away from the Twin Towers
• Not hit by a plane or major fire and was brought down by a Controlled Demolition at 5:20Pm EST.
• Larry Silverstein, the owner said, The government said , “Pull the Building” ( a term commonly used for a signal to perform a Controlled Demolition of a bldg.)
• It takes weeks to plan and implement the controlled demolition of a bldg.
• This building came down at free fall speed in approximately 6-7 seconds.
• Building imploded into itself with most of the building structure and contents pulverized into fine dust (about 10 microns)
• Has all of the 10 identifiable characteristics of a Controlled Demolition (see:AE911Truth.org for details)
• Was the major U.S. office ( excluding Washington, DC) of the SEC, CIA, other federal government security departments.
• Many important records pertaining to government investigations of corporate fraud and corruption were destroyed by the demolition.
• FEMA confirmed that diesel fuel tanks for the emergency generators did not cause explosions heard by many eye witnesses
• Was not investigated or covered in the “Official 9/11 Commission Report”
• Collapse was not properly addressed in the NIST report.
How can any intelligent person who is not in emotional denial conclude anything other than the fact the government in cooperation with the owner engineered a Controlled Demolition of this building.
It is very interesting to note that the 104 story Twin Towers exhibited the same Free Fall symmetrical Controlled Demolition characteristics as WTC Bldg. 7.
Does it make you very angry that our government would commit such a morally repugnant crime that was the pretext for two Middle East Wars and the suppression of many of our constitutional rights?

**What US leaders mean by "Democracy"
When US leaders talk about spreading "Democracy", what they really mean is spreading "Economic Market Democracy" for major corporations and Wall Street bankers so that the US can broaden and gain its imperialistic superiority in the world.
If everyone’s moral compass can accept war, torture, and denial of human rights as a way of gaining "Economic Market Democracy" than we are quickly going the way of the Roman's. Our intervention and decimation of Iraq is a consummate example of us invading a country to get control of one of the most important natural resources = OIL. In Bagdad every government building was virtually destroyed except the Department of Oil Ministry, so figure that one out. When US leaders couch their imperialistic plans in the name of GOD, what that really means is G.O.D= Gold. Oil. Drugs. So next time you hear a US leader talk about spreading “Democracy” take a good look at what is happening to our so called “Free Press”, “Individual Rights and Freedoms”, and our freedom to “Protest and Dissent” . Also take a look at all governments (Iran, Chile, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Panama, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Greece, Phillipines) in the world that we have overthrown through the CIA and military to protect the economic rights of major corporations who were exploiting the natural resources and labor pools of Third World countries. Our actions as a so called “Democratic Nation” are not very pretty.

Views on evolution among the public and scientists
"Nearly all scientists (97%) say humans and other living things have evolved over time," while only 61% of the public agrees, according to a new report (PDF, p. 37) from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Asked which comes closer to their view, "Humans and other living things have evolved over time" or "Humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time," 97% of scientists responding chose the former option, as opposed to only 2% choosing the latter option; 61% of the public responding chose the former option, as opposed to 31% choosing the latter option.
Those who chose the former option were also asked whether they preferred "Humans and other living things have evolved due to natural processes such as natural selection" or "A supreme being guided the evolution of living things for the purpose of creating humans and other life in the form it exists today." Among scientists, 87% preferred the former option and 8% preferred the latter option; among the public, 32% preferred the former option and 22% preferred the latter option. Members of the public were also asked whether scientists generally agree that humans evolved over time; 60% said yes, 28% said no.
"Views on evolution vary substantially within the general public," the report observed (p. 38), "particularly by religion and attendance at religious services." For example, among white evangelical Protestants responding, a majority, 57%, agreed that humans existed in their present form since the beginning of time, and among those respondents attending religious services weekly or more often, a near-majority, 49%, agreed. In contrast, among the religiously unaffiliated responding, 60% agreed that humans evolved due to natural processes. Also correlated with acceptance of evolution were youth and education.
The questions about evolution were part of a larger project, conducted by the Pew Research Center and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, investigating the public's attitude toward science and comparing it to the attitude of scientists. The report relied on three surveys, two conducted by telephone among members of the general public in the United States in April, May, and June 2009, and one conducted on-line among members of the AAAS in May and June 2009. The broader significance of the project's results are summarized in the Pew Research Center's overview report, issued on July 9, 2009.

**Religion v. Education/IQ
http://religions.pewforum.org/pdf/comparison-Educational+Distribution+of+Religious+Traditions.pdf
A Pew Research study of approximately 35,000+ people of different religious affiliations and educational levels shows a major inverse relationship between educational levels and religious belief. Jews and Hindus who enjoy higher educational levels of their populations compared to Christians and Muslims, trend more to the observant by virtue of their demographic makeup.
In general the more educated a person is, the less apt they are to be religious. People who are more educated see the world more through science, critical thinking , and logic. People who are religious tend to see the world more through faith, mythology, and biblical fantasy. People who live in larger cities, who have more access to education and multi-cultural resources tend to be less religious. There is also a correlation between educational levels and intelligence, with those with higher IQ’s trending more toward higher levels of education. Higher IQ Levels of educational attainment, as evidenced by the Jewish, Hindu, and Asian groups is also influenced by ethnicity and cultural values. Many people trend toward modified religious observance as a means of social connection and community, rather than strict religious orthodox or evangelical observance. The non religious seem to embrace the concept of “Evolution” more than those who are religious who embrace the old world concept of “Creationism”.
There is no correlation between religious observance and morality. History has shown that most of the pain and suffering that has been brought about by mankind has been by those who are labeled as Christian followers. A majority of those who label themselves as atheist, agnostic, or Buddhist have a tendency to be more compassionate and humane in their behavior.
Based on this survey, “In the Main”, it would be fair to conclude that strong religious observance does not go over well with people who are more highly educated and intelligent. I am not saying that because one is more educated or intelligent that they are a better person. I am saying that the tools of intelligence and education generally give one a more evolved and finite ability to see the world in broader terms and in reality.
