Intriguing videos on 9/11

I found these videos by accidents.

I was reading spine flu on NYT. They gave lots of credits to the Bush Administration for building up the "infrastructure" needed for defending a pandemic. I guess it was a move in systematic conducts in counter-terrorism.---Biological weapons are quite imaginable nowadays.

Then I wrote a brief memo on xiaonei about it. At the end of my thread, I commented God Bless America and wanted to add a video to end it. From searching for the patriotic hymn, the "chain reaction" led me to these.

(There are four parts altogether.)

** My quick remarks:

There are really lots of doubts on 9/11. No doubt about it. Especially the basement explosions and vaporized Pentagon plane. But some accusations in the movie are crappy/sloppy themselves, which showed the desperate propaganda purpose of it itself.

If it is a conspiracy, there should be "witnesses" as well, people taking orders to set up the "explosions" etc etc. Where are they? They were all hidden or killed? Or died in 9/11?? It is unimaginable. There is no wall without leakage.

Ultimately, what is the incentive of U.S. government doing this? You can see Bush Administration exploited the media engines, made up evidences in front of the UNSC and used terrifying hard-line rhetoric to achieve their goals. Dark-box tortures might be the limit. To take such an extreme conduct such as bombing WTC is too risky for whatever political goals.

The "advanced knowledge theory" and the "inside job theory" were non-compatible, that is another thing.

Flash back: the reason for Hawk-eye

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtkKdCeQgQM

Really ridiculous!

It is pretty obvious that Serena is more composed and graceful in her earlier days!

Federer got married

Sth not very surprised. No wedding photos released yet.

Krzysztof Kieslowski: Trois couleurs--Bleu

Written on the afternoon of March 30th, 2009, to commemorate another two-hours spent with a girl I am fond of.

几年前在半梦半醒中在文史楼三层一堂英语听说课上看过,完全不懂。

一周前很巧合的机会又看了一遍,完全懂了,但还可以说完全不懂。

它很好。不过没有进入我的心灵。法国电影就是很慢地 很美地 很暧昧地 讲一个超简单的故事,表达一些人最基本的一些感情。

这些东西总是给我“老调子已经唱完”的感觉,来回来去还是这些“男女之间”的事情。不过,人就是把无穷多的精力用于这些小事情,甚至比这更小的事情。

人性是如此狭隘,如此绝望和丧心病狂,如此容易忘记感恩,如此容易沉浸于仇恨情绪而丧失底线。我最近才发现。

10 predictions about the clay season

Some are bold, some not, some are hardly predictions (as they are almost certain).

The order of predictions is totally random.

1- Rafael Nadal will get his 5th straight Roland Garros title.

2- The total number of sets Rafa will lose in Roland Garros should be no more than three.

3- Rafa will lose on clay at some point, just as last year.

4- Rafa won't play Madrid.


5- Roger Federer cannot reach French Open final this year.Murray, Verdasco or Djokovic might.

6- Roger can not win any title on clay this year.

7- Murray, del Potro, Verdasco, Tsonga and Monfils may be dangerous factors this year. Daveydenko cannot match his performance on clay last year.

8- We will have a new woman Grand Slam champion in Paris. Safina, Jankovic, Zvonerva, or Azarenka? My pick is Safina.

9- Williams sisters and Ana Ivanovic will go out in Paris before semifinal.

10- Maria Sharapova won't play Roland Garros.
