In fact most people believe that SOMETHING was covered up about 9/11. I’d like to point out one point of interest: Building 7, which was hit by debris and had a fire in it, fell STRAIGHT DOWN like a controlled demolition. Look at pictures of the Oklahoma City Bombing, and wonder how that building didn’t fall, but a steel building with a fire in it collapsed in 7 seconds…Anyone have evidence of steel buildings collapsing from fire besides the 3 on 9/11?

It’s funny how the writer intones, (Despite the conspiracy theories, most people don’t blame this on the U.S. Government) Yet, Actually a recent Gallup poll that was dismissed by the Obama White House staff as “inaccurate”, showed that 59% of Americans do NOT believe the “Official” story and DO think the US Goverment was involved in some way. A Whopping 79% of Canadiens feel the same…

Star Trek Predictions that did come though:

Kirk’s Communicator = Today’s Cell Phone.

McCoy’s Instruments = CAT Scan, etc.

Transporter = albeit only two poor little photons have made the 3 ft trip, so far.

Spock’s computer memory chips = 3.5 Inch disks, or Cd’s – take your pick.

Tricorder = primistive ones today can to temp, humidity, air pressure, infrared, and various other measurements. Then too the tricorder was a portable computer, otherwise known as a laptop.

Phaser = US army woking on an eletrical / light beam assault weapon similar. Then there are the infamous and dangerous tasers…

Romulan Invisibility Cloak = being worked on today, even a sound cloak is being worked on, although this should by attributer to Larry Niven (?) and his cones of silence…

Shields = electronic electromagnetic shields are being worked on now for the proposed Mars mission, although they will not stop a photon torpedo, or move a comet – yet.

I am guessing we’ll have a women president in about five terms because there was one on 24 this year.

Just waiting to see if Demolition Man’s prediction of Schwarzenegger as president comes true. With the new congress I can totally see them amending the constitution to allow it. He is incredibly popular as a governor.

What about “Laugh-In”? “News of the Future” accurately predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and the presidency of Ronald Reagan.

I can’t remember if it was Outer Limits or Twilight Zone, but in one of their newer episodes (mid 1990’s) theres a story about a confederate soldier who gets transported into the future, sees a Lincoln Impersonator, tries to shoot him but ends up hitting the the man who was the first black president (hence the Lincoln impersonator). “The Future” in this episode was 2012. (actually it was 2013, he was visiting Gettysburg, but close enough) Four years off.
