By Jennifer Poindexter

If you're a gardener, you might think that birds are pest for your garden.

Most of them are not.

In fact, some birds like the Bluebirds, Chickadees, and Nighthawks are one of the best natural pest controls; they eat insects like moths, bugs, plant lice, caterpillars, etc.

That's why having birds in your garden is beneficial. They will make your job much easier.

Plus, who wouldn't like a sound of happy birds in your backyard?

That's why today I'm bringing you lots of different bird house plans and ideas that you can build for your feathered friends. Most of these can be built in one day with less than $30.

Federal Grand Jury Will Finally Hear Evidence Of A Controlled Demolition On 9/11 – Collective Evolution

About time.... disgraceful.
https://www.collective-evolution.com/2019/01/03/federal-grand-jury-will-finally-hear-evidence-of-a-controlled-demolition-on-911/?fbclid=IwAR3qySbmNjDqoUS5PSYUJqHNgLwabhYVEcix5osopHv4RpH_g1FLiFAZR4I

Federal Grand Jury Will Finally Hear Evidence Of A Controlled Demolition On 9/11

By

Arjun Walia

January 3, 2019

In Brief

• The Facts:

  The 9/11 Truth Movement has opened an avenue to prosecuting those responsible for the shocking destruction of the World Trade Center and the horrible loss of life that resulted. A U.S. attorney will be taking evidence to a special grand jury.

• Reflect On:

  This is a citizenry movement, one that relies on citizens and regular professionals taking action. It's great to see initiative being taken in a world of censorship. This isn't a democracy, if it was, this information would be public, not ignored.

This year will mark the 19th anniversary of 9/11, a tragic event that will be remembered throughout history, and one that's often considered responsible for the 'waking up' of millions of people. Though 9/11 was incredibly heartbreaking, it ultimately served a purpose, similar to how the false flag chemical attacks in Syria served a purpose.

These events allowed so many people to become aware of all the lies and manipulation that occur within our government. They helped us understand the connections that the Western military alliance and intelligence agencies have with these so-called terrorist organizations, as many academics and politicians have directly accused the Western military alliance of creating groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda through fake video campaigns, funding, and providing weapons in order to prolong the 'war on terror.'

Politicians like Vladimir Putin have accused the West of hiring paid mercenaries to make up these terrorist groups because their presence gives our government justification to infiltrate other countries for various reasons including resource extraction and the destabilization of governments. This has been a common theme since World War II, as we've witnessed numerous false flag terrorist attacks such as 9/11, which was allegedly created by the US in order to justify their invasion of Iraq and other parts of the Middle East in search of "weapons of mass destruction."

That being said, there are many people who avoid discussing the 'why' behind these events, and instead have investigated what physically happened on that day.

The Science Does NOT Support The Official Story of 9/11

Thousands of architects and engineers have been investigating what happened on 9/11 for years, and their conclusions match that of the majority of the American people: What we were told by the government regarding 9/11 was a complete lie. There have been multiple studies published in peer-reviewed engineering and physics journals concluding that all three towers were brought down by controlled demolition (see below). Even the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has stated that 9/11 was a controlled demolition, which is something a 'Deep State' president would likely never do. Let's not forget about the Pentagon, where there was absolutely no footage and no plane wreckage to confirm the story.

For years, hundreds of thousands of people have been calling upon the US government to investigate 9/11, and now progress is finally being made. On April 10th of this year, the non-profit Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry filed a petition with the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, Manhattan, requesting that he present to a grand jury the extensive evidence of federal crimes relating to the destruction of three World Trade Center high rises on 9/11. The petition cited conclusive evidence, providing proof of explosives and incendiaries employed at ground zero to bring down the twin towers as well as the WTC building #7.

The Lawyers' Committee's April 10th 52-page original Petition was accompanied by 57 exhibits and presented extensive evidence that explosives were used to destroy three WTC buildings. That evidence included independent scientific laboratory analysis of WTC dust samples showing the presence of high-tech explosives and/or incendiaries; numerous first-hand reports by First Responders of explosions at the WTC on 9/11; expert analysis of seismic evidence that explosions occurred at the WTC towers on 9/11 prior to the airplane impacts and prior to the building collapses; and expert analysis by architects, engineers, and scientists concluding that the rapid onset symmetrical near-free-fall acceleration collapse of three WTC high rise buildings on 9/11 exhibited the key characteristics of controlled demolition. The Lawyers' Committee's July 30th Amended Petition addresses several additional federal crimes beyond the federal bombing crime addressed in the original Petition. The Lawyers' Committee concluded in the petitions that explosive and incendiary devices preplaced at the WTC were detonated causing the complete collapse of the WTC Twin Towers on 9/11 and increasing the tragic loss of life.

You can view the original petition HERE, and the amended petition HERE.

The attorney will have assistance from the Lawyers' Committee with presenting the evidence to the special grand jury, and they requested that Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth provide support in making a joint presentation. They are also calling upon the public and legal community to contact them and support them in their efforts to contribute to this grand jury process.

Attorney William Jacoby, Lawyers' Committee Board Member, stated: "We call upon the public and legal community to contact us and support our efforts to contribute to this grand jury process and to monitor and ensure compliance by the Justice Department."

Executive Director and Actor Ed Asner stated: "The U.S. Attorney's decision to comply with the Special Grand Jury Statute regarding our petitions is an important step towards greater transparency and accountability regarding the tragic events of 9/11."

Below is an interview with the founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, along with author, activist and Washington insider Barbara Honegger, and the President of the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry David Meiswinklel. In the video, they discuss 9/11 and the United States grand jury that will finally be empaneled to investigate the destruction of all three World Trade Center skyscrapers!

The Takeaway

There's so much evidence in support of 9/11 being an inside job, yet it's still brushed off as a 'conspiracy theory' by many. Despite the mainstream narrative, so many people have come forward to share their truth regarding what happened that day including academics, scientists, architects, and engineers. Even family members of multiple victims and firefighters who were in the building that day have spoken out, yet somehow all of these statements have gone completely ignored by the US government. Perhaps in Trump's presidency, things will change, and an investigation will take place?

That being said, does it need to? It seems more and more people are becoming aware of what really happened that day. The war on terror was fabricated, and many events such as 9/11 were created to make it seem real only so the global elite could justify the invasion of other countries and create a heightened state of security at home. But the fact that people are beginning to see this means we're creating a massive shift in perception, which will eventually spark real action. This is what we've been seeing for the past 10 years, and it's accelerating every day. The world is waking up, and the information is here for those brave enough to open their eyes.

Fluorides, the Atomic Bomb, and Fake News

February 1, 2018

February 1, 2018

Jon Rappoport, Guest
Waking Times

Occasionally, I reprint this article. I wrote it some years ago, during research on toxic chemicals pervading the landscape. I used to send the piece to mainstream reporters, but I eventually gave that up as a bad bet.

They're dedicated to fake news…and now they're losing control over public consciousness. Losing badly. Independent media are in the ascendance, and rightly so.

In 1997, Joel Griffiths and Chris Bryson, two respected mainstream journalists, peered into an abyss. They found a story about fluorides that was so chilling it had to be told.

The Christian Science Monitor, who had assigned the story, never published it.

Their ensuing article, "Fluoride, Teeth, and the Atomic Bomb," has been posted on a number of websites.

Author Griffiths told me that researchers who study the effects of fluorides by homing in on communities with fluoridated drinking water, versus communities with unfluoridated water, miss a major point: studying the water is not enough; toxic fluorides are everywhere—they are used throughout the pharmaceutical industry in the manufacture of drugs, and also in many other industries (e.g., aluminum, pesticide).

I want to go over some of the major points of the Griffiths-Bryson article.

Griffiths discovered hundreds of documents from the World War 2 era. These included papers from the Manhattan Project, launched to build the first A-bomb.

Griffiths/Bryson write: "Fluoride was the key chemical in atomic bomb production…millions of tons…were essential for the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium for nuclear weapons throughout the Cold War."

The documents reveal that fluoride was the most significant health hazard in the US A-bomb program, for workers and for communities around the manufacturing facilities.

Griffiths/Bryson: "Much of the original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low doses was generated by A-bomb program scientists, who had been secretly ordered to provide 'evidence useful in litigation' [against persons who had been poisoned by fluoride and would sue for damages]… The first lawsuits against the US A-bomb program were not over radiation, but over fluoride damage, the [government] documents show."

A-bomb scientists were told they had to do studies which would conclude that fluorides were safe.

The most wide-reaching study done was carried out in Newburgh, New York, between 1945 and 1956. This was a secret op called "Program F." The researchers obtained blood and tissue samples from people who lived in Newburgh, through the good offices of the NY State Health Department.

Griffiths/Bryson found the original and secret version of this study. Comparing it to a different sanitized version, the reporters saw that evidence of adverse effects from fluorides had been suppressed by the US Atomic Energy Commission.

Other studies during the same period were conducted at the University of Rochester. Unwitting hospital patients were given fluorides to test out the results.

Flash forward. Enter Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, the head of toxicology at Forsyth Dental Center in Boston. In the 1990s, Mullenix did a series of animal studies which showed that, as Griffiths/Bryson write: "…fluoride was a powerful central nervous system (CNS) toxin…"

Mullenix applied for further grant monies from the National Institutes of Health. She was turned down. She was also told that fluorides do not have an effect on the CNS.

But Griffiths/Bryson uncovered a 1944 Manhattan Project memo which states: "Clinical evidence suggests that uranium hexafluoride may have a rather marked central nervous system effect…it seems most likely that the F [fluoride] component rather than the [uranium] is the causative factor."

The 1944 memo was sent to the head of the Manhattan Project Medical Section, Colonel Stafford Warren. Warren was asked to give his okay to do animal studies on fluorides' effects on the CNS. He immediately did give his approval.

FREE For Waking Times Readers: Best-selling self-defense and survival guide.

But records of the results of this approved project are missing. Most likely classified.

Who was the man who made that 1944 proposal for a rush-program to study the CNS effects of fluorides? Dr. Harold Hodge, who worked at the Manhattan Project.

Who was brought in to advise Mullenix 50 years later at the Forsyth Dental Center in Boston, as she studied the CNS effects of fluorides? Dr. Harold Hodge.

Who never told Mullenix of his work on fluoride toxicity for the Manhattan Project? Dr. Harold Hodge.

Was Hodge brought in to look over Mullenix's shoulder and report on her discoveries? It turns out that Hodge, back in the 1940s, had made suggestions to do effective PR promoting fluoride as a dental treatment. So his presence by Mullenix's side, all those years later, was quite possibly as an agent assigned to keep track of her efforts.

Getting the idea here? Build an A-bomb. Forget the toxic fluoride consequences. Bury the fluoride studies. Twist the studies.

More on Hodge. In 1944, "a severe pollution incident" occurred in New Jersey, near the DuPont plant in Deepwater where the company was trying to build the first A-bomb. A fluoride incident. Farmers' peach and tomato crops were destroyed. Horses and cows became crippled. Some cows had to graze on their bellies. Tomato crops (normally sold to the Campbell Company for soups) were contaminated with fluorides.

The people of the Manhattan Project were terrified of lawsuits and ensuing revelations about the toxic nature of their work. A heads-up memo was written on the subject. Its author? Harold Hodge. Among other issues, he reported on the huge fluoride content in vegetables growing in the polluted area.

Also the high fluoride levels in human blood.

The farmers began to bring lawsuits. Big PR problem.

The lawsuits were settled quietly, for pittances.

Harold Hodge wrote another memo. Get this quote: "Would there be any use in making attempts to counteract the local fear of fluoride on the part of residents [near the A-bomb facility]…through lectures on F [fluoride] toxicology and perhaps the usefulness of F in tooth health?"

Griffiths/Bryson write: "Such lectures were indeed given, not only to New Jersey citizens but to the rest of the nation throughout the Cold War."

This was a launching pad for fluorides as "successful dental treatments."

Now you know why promoting toxic fluorides as a dental treatment was so important to government officials.

Footnote: In Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film, Dr. Strangelove, Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper rails about the destruction fluorides are wreaking on the "pure blood of pure Americans." Of course, General Ripper is fleshed out as a crazy right-wing fanatic. He's ready and willing to start a nuclear war. How odd. Apparently unknown to the Strangelove script writers, fluorides were, in fact, very toxic and were an integral part of the program that created atomic bombs in the first place…
