Shelly Lubben on AIM Shut down

( NL- I generally keep my opinions to myself, but I gotta say one thing-For the record, I totally disagree with Shelley.  I am personally very unhappy to see AIM close. While not perfect, I think they did a lot of good things for the health of porn performers. )

Porn Star Clinic Closes Down
OP/ED by Shelley Lubben | Thu, 05/05/2011 – 3:42pm


 
AIM (Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation) aka the "porn star clinic" has been SHUT DOWN.

 
It’s official. AIM is closed after 13 years of lying to performers and the public thanks to organizations AHF, Pink Cross Foundation, RHIG, UCLA School of Public Health and Los Angeles Public Health who fought tirelessly to see the mafia-ruled clinic shut down.

Over the past two years non-profit organizations have worked tirelessly to expose the rampant STD and health crisis among performers in the porn industry which were under the care of negligent doctors, fraudulent doctors and a board of directors made of pornographers and porn stars.

But no more. AIM IS CLOSED.

From Adult Video News (the porn liars):

“It is our understanding that AIM is now closed. Our hearts go out to AIM and its dedicated staff. We know that it has been a very difficult time for them,” FSC Executive Director Diane Duke said. “Rest assured that FSC is committed to making sure that the industry and its performers are well-protected.”

Well protected? Not according to credible doctors at Los Angeles County Public Department of Health.

In September, 2009, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported 2,396 cases of Chlamydia, 1,389 cases of gonorrhea, five syphilis, and 26 HIV cases among porn performers. It was also reported that Chlamydia and gonorrhea prevalence in porn performers is ten times higher than that of Los Angeles County 20-24 year olds and five times higher than that of one of Los Angeles County’s highest risk populations.

These statistics are alarming to the public yet AIM stated in a video of their clinic that, "We’re the largest early detection HIV testing facility in the country and we keep the adult entertainment industry safe."

AIM doesn’t keep anyone safe. AIM is off target as usual.

Porn industry ring leaders continued to deny that there was any STD problem in the porn industry even after the report by LAPHD. However, the people making those statements were not the ones risking their lives on dangerous porn sets.

Even the main "doctor" Sharon Mitchell, founder of AIM, who is not a medical doctor, admitted there was an STD problem among porn performers. Dr. Mitchell estimated that, "7% have HIV, and 12-28% STDs. Herpes is always about 66%. … Chlamydia and gonorrhea, however, along with hepatitis, seem to stick to everything from dildos to flat surfaces to hands, so, pardon my expression, but we are usually up to our asses in chlamydia.”

Now AIM Is up to its ass in lawsuits. Porn stars are currently suing AIM for breach of privacy. AIM began in 1998 and officially ended in 2011. Nothing is impossible with God.

PERFORMERS: WE CARE ABOUT YOU. Find out where to get free, confidential STD testing and treatment at a location near you.

  1. This has nothing to do with God… This is Ms. Lubben’s ego and nothing more. What has she ever done to help performer’s that isn’t about destroying their lively-hoods or inflating her own illusion of self-worth…

  2. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Voltaire – I could not agree more, and I could not have said any better.

    However, I’d like to repeat: Mrs. Lubben may need to explain to the anti-AIM cabal why she outed the conspirators in her latest pathetic attempt to satisfy her pathological need for attention. She asserts that “AHF, Pink Cross Foundation, [UCLA’s] RHIG, UCLA School of Public Health and Los Angeles Public Health” worked “tirelessly to see the mafia-ruled clinic shut down.”

    The only entities which (publicly) “fought tirelessly” to shut down A HEALTH CLINIC were AHF and Pink Cross — all the rest were supposedly either working to examine the state of affairs and make recommendations to policymakers, OR seeking compliance from AIM.

    Publicly, that is. . . .

  3. This fucked up system exists because no one wants to take ownership of the problem (in other words spend money) and like I said 6 months ago if the folks that run the business don’t get their shit together the govt. will step in and take over the running of the porn biz or put it out of its misery.

    Shelley and her Christian Mafia didn’t even have to work hard. The porn studios did it for them. The producers look at the talent as expendable and easily replaceable. They knowingly book crossover males and use folks they know have HIV+ and probably other venerial diseases figuring the girls will just go and get pennicilin to clear it up.

    Problem with that is someone keeps track of the # of instances of talent that get a social disease and tally them up. Hearing that 66% of the talent has herpes is a pretty scary figure. Thats 2 out of every 3 people on a porn set!!!!

  4. only in porn would someone think that a 300% higher than normal std rate was “doing good things for performers”

    AIM was an abysmal failure, the industry just realized what I have been saying for ten years.

    Now lets get off our asses and fix it right

  5. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Karmafan — Do not believe that 66% number. The source of that number is an anecdotal remark by Sharon Mitchell from over ten years ago. AIM Healthcare DID NOT TEST universally for herpes so there is no way that she could have KNOWN that. Therefore, IT IS NOT A PROPER STATISTIC. The most likely construction of Mitchell’s (admittedly ill-considered) statement is that 66% of performers who think they need to be tested for herpes actually have it. That is the most she could have possibly known. Additionally, one only has to look at the CDC numbers to realize that a high percentage of the sexually active general population also has some form of herpes.

    Nor should you believe the 300% higher than normal STD rate canard that Mike is shoveling. Higher than normal in what population? First, you’d need to find another insular population similarly sexually active. Second, I do not believe that the raw numbers bear that out — that 300% higher figure derives from the same entity (LA County) that Lubben cites as part of the cabal that wished to demonize and destroy AIM! That number comes from the same batch of numbers as the inflated HIV number that the Los Angeles Times ran and HAD TO RETRACT because it was not verifiable!

    Adult performers are NOT the new Typhoid Marys. That is a claim used by a scandal-ridden LA County Department of Health to distract taxpayers from their gross failures: Hospitals being seized by the federal government, indigent patients being dumped on the streets; 16,000 people (according to the CDC) walking around LA County with HIV but do not know they’re infected, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

    And, as Mike South’s comment demonstrates, with so many people in the industry gunning for Sharon Mitchell for the last 12 1/2 years, this was indeed bound to happen. AIM was not perfect by any stretch — but it sprung up in response to an HIV outbreak, and the system that emerged PREVENTED another HIV outbreak. To that end it was a success.

    But Mike is 100% correct on one thing: NOW is the time for the industry to learn from its mistakes, pull together and fix it right.

    Considering the current status quo, are porn performers dying left and right?

    Meanwhile, death from ADRs (adverse drug reactions) thanks to the drug companies AHF are working for (AHF received $174 million dollars from drug companies last year) is one of the leading causes of death. Do we really want or need AHF’s “help” and do they have the right to dictate our lives?

    The top ten drug companies make more profits than the rest of the Fortune 500 companies combined!!! They mark up their poisonous “therapy” dope thousands of per cent over the cost of their ingredients. Big Pharma spends nearly 19 billion per year bribing and influencing physicians and has been increasing its influence and control over medicine decade after decade, and, by funding and bribing corrupt politicians and medical ‘experts’, it has dictated political policy. Now it wants to rule the porn industry just as it seeks to introduce mandatory vaccinations so that every child, and everyone, are injected with its venomous poisons.

    We will win the war by becoming informed! We have the truth on our side. They have greed, politics and lies on theirs!

  7. michael testing 1000 people 12 times a year is not the same thing as testing 12000 people once a year

    it is possible to come up with per capita averages specially for a given geographic area.

    By any means you measure it porn performers have a MUCH higher incident of STDs than anything anyone would even remotely consider average. and theres a reason for it. We dont test for HPV, Herpes, or Hep. performers work while knowing they are infected, they dont care.

    dont try to sell that you dont know whats normal because theres nothing to compare us to nonsense.

  8. If some folks are HIV+ and still continue to work you casn be sure there are also folks with herpes, and other forms of VD that STILL will continue to work.

  9. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Mike — Yes, you are correct that “testing 1000 people 12 times a year is not the same thing as testing 12000 people once a year”, and you are also correct that one can “come up with” per capita averages. However, the question is HOW did one “come up with” them? For averages to mean anything, for them to be useful, one must employ a reliable (and non-biased) methodology. I also hasten to add that averages and estimates do not make per se objectively reliable statistical numbers. I’m sure you’ll agree that if you’re looking for something (i.e., a result) hard enough, you’re sure to find it.

    “The numbers” can be, and have been, spun just like facts. Public health is an area where medicine, politics and economics collide, and there is no question that the data was distorted and finessed by LA County. They had the motive, the means and the opportunity. Mrs. Lubben’s gloating PR implies that they also had the will to do it.

  10. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Karmafan – There’s a difference between knowingly working when one has an infectious disease (an illegal act, also actionable civilly) and unknowingly working when one has an infectious disease. That is why I support and encourage broader universal STD testing.

  11. jennyfers77 says:

    Shelley, Please don’t flatter yourself by taking the credit for AIM closing. This isn’t gods work. God loves unconditionally, porn stars and all. Maybe you should take pointers from Harmony at treasures. She doesn’t go around judging people for their choices. She wants to help people who need help. You claim that all these STD’s are in the adult industry and the statistics show it, but do you count the non-talent in that? How about the people that tested too soon after taking the meds? Oh and I love this one. “There was 29 HIV positives in the industry.” HELLO NOT EVERYONE IS TALENT THAT TEST THERE…
    Shelley peoples lives’ are on the line here. People lost their jobs. Sure, you can give “free hiv testing” but those are Elisa test. Sure promote condoms, but remember condoms are only a barrier of protection. Kind of like a “Fig leaf” as AHF calls AIM. Remember this Shelley condoms break. You’re a sister in Christ and what you’re doing is wrong. You keep judging, give false teaching, ect… and it’s not very Christian like. At first I thought it was cool that the industry had a Christian faith place for the girls to go to. Once I started reading more about you I developed acid reflex. Needles to say, I was disappointed. I use to think that if Jesus was walking this earth right now he would walk right into AIM to love and teach the patients. Now, I think he would walk into your office to teach you a thing or two. I’m truly sorry that you were in pain and became a drug addict while you were in the industry. However, it does say in the bible we have our own free will. You could have chosen not to test, not to show up, or just said NO! Like the old saying goes “if you can’t make it in porn, you go against it”.

    Mike South, boy do I have a lot to say to you. You were right AIM closed down. However, the staff at AIM were not idiots, well maybe upper management was. The staff at AIM went above and beyond the call of duty. You see, when you’re in the medical field you have to develop a hard heart. You can’t get emotionally involved with the patients. I quickly fell in love with so many people that would come in. Not just in the porn industry but with civilians also. We did care. It wasn’t about money or what they can do for us. We were extended family in a sense.

    Paul was like a brother or best friend. You would see him and just want to jib jab for hours. Trust me he got into trouble for it also. Spending too much time on one person. Listening to them tell about their week, month or the exciting news that they are working because work is far and few between or when someone needed a ride home. How about the civilian who is scared because, they had a drunken one night stand.

    Then you have Bobi who was more like a mother then an AIM employee. When she was in the other office people would just come in to talk even when their test wasn’t due. She opened her home up for people who needed a place to stay because there was no where else to go. Staying up all night because, some of the girls needed a mother to talk to.
    I hope that one day someone will let you know Mike that not all of AIM was bad.

    Working at AIM wasn’t really work. We had so many laughs there. We have so many stories. I’m sad the way we ended and I will really miss working there. Thank you everyone who brought joy to my life each and everyday.

  12. Anybody else ever wonder why Mike South has to come to all these other sites to get anyone to see what he has to say. Dont you have your own site Mike, or is it that nobody cares what you have to say?

  13. @Michael,
    Is herpes one of those infectious diseases that you claim is “illegal” to knowingly work with?

    How about HPV, PID, trichomonis, the flu?

    Is it illegal to knowingly HIRE someone with one of these diseases?

    And since it is illegal to reqire pre employment screening for such diseases, how could anyone legally know one way or the other if the ocndition was pre existing?

    Can you cite any specific law,that is being broken, aside from SOHA regulation 5193?

  14. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Joe – Your queries use such imprecise language that full answers would be far too lengthy for a post on LIB. I’m not here to give dissertations to someone who has consistently demonstrated far more belligerence than sense.

    I wrote of knowing, willful conduct. The nature of a defendant’s conduct is regularly determined by triers of fact. Pre-employment screening is beside the point. I was not writing about what a hypothetical person who contracted the performers for a scene knew — I was writing about what a hypothetical performer infected with a contagious/communicable disease knew before he or she exposed another. In other words, what did he or she know, and when did he or she Know it?

    Have a look at California Health and Safety Code sections 120290 & 120291, and California Penal Code sections 12022.85 and 647f. These can be felonies or misdemeanors (depending on the circumstances), as I understand the law.

    In any case, broader universal testing would mean less of a gray area — more information in the hands of performers means, among other things, less legal cover for intentional, willful, or potentially negligent acts. In short, safer performers at lower risk for infection.

  15. I read what I want, I post where I want including here and on a few webmaster forums, gee I had no idea we were only allowed to talk in our own house.

  16. DawnyShort says:

    Anyone else find it interesting that there is NO FUCKING MENTION OF PORN WIKI LEAKS OR DAWNY LONG? Or how about how aim was so negligent that they left their performers database wide open for anyone to steal!!!?

    AIM has possibly made every single performers lives a lot more difficult if they ever plan to get out of porn and into a normal job.

  17. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Mike – Post anywhere and anytime you damn well please. This is the open marketplace of ideas. And if you want to promote your site and drive traffic there, all the better. Will Ferrell was on The Daily Show yesterday to get people to go see his new movie; he wasn’t there just to say, “Hi.”

  18. got news for yall I dont get traffic from here….yer kidding right?

    all of these adult blogs generally have the exact same readers.

    most of my traffic is organic and search engine. If gawker or someone picks up one of my stories I get a spike Im lookin at my stats right now so far this week lib isnt even in my top 50 referring sites less than 30 people from lib

    xpt is ahead of lib with about 50 people

    top referrer of this type is thefloatingworld

  19. Don’t sweat it Mike, you are welcome here just like anyone else.

    Joe Know was just being a dick. “When all else fails personally attack the poster” is his motto.

  20. Oh hell Joe don’t bother me.

    if I was fishin for traffic Id be posting my ass off over on fark.com not lib. LOL

  21. Karfman,
    Just in case you hadnt noticed, alot of the things you have said here in the last week, and for the last six months as you stated in one of your posts, are the exact same things I have been saying on these boards for about four years now. And I have beenon the recieving end of far more personal attacks than I have ever dished out.

    @Michael
    That 66% quote is actually a CDC statistic for the general adult population, from several years ago.(mitch was quoting the cdc when she said that.) Of course if you had chicken pox or measles as a kid you will test postive for herpes. And many other viruses are in the herpes family, as we all know.

    @Michael, I also used the term knowingly in my questions. Perhaps this will be easy enough for you to answer.

    If a gay porn company knowingly hires an HIV positive performer, and we all know that it happens regularly, do you think there is any type of negligence or liablility on the part of that company? And we all know they do because just afew weeks ago a gay company put out a press release to announce the exlusive signinig of an HIV positive performer.

    The answer to this question of course is YES. Lets just see if Michael can bring himself to actually way it,oops write it. Or will he do his dodgeball act in order to not say anything that puts producers in a bad light. I predict dodgeball.

  22. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Joe – While there are still some false positive results (up to 5%, is what I hear) for type-specific herpes tests, the VAST majority of inaccurate (false) HSV2 diagnoses derive either from 1) the non-type specific tests that used to be done commonly years ago, or 2) diagnoses made on the basis of visual inspection only (no serum test, no swab test).

    To answer your question, the answer is NO as long as BOTH performers give informed consent. Volenti non fit injutria. They have assumed the risk.

    Free citizens reserve the right to make informed choices with which you do not agree, Joe. We reserve the right to knowingly put ourselves at risk.

    Wake up, Joe. Bug chasers exist. Adding a camera does not create a crime or a tort. The only thing a producer would be guilty of, provided BOTH performers are aware of one performer’s HIV+ status, is bas taste. (This assumes, of course, such HIV status can actually be determined and confirmed — which is a big IF.) You or I might not condone or approve of it, but it’s just too bad. Free people are free to make choices — even deadly choices — of which we do not approve.

  23. jeremysteele11 says:

    Michael W. said, “Free people are free to make choices — even deadly choices — of which we do not approve”.

    He’s absolutely right. I don’t approve of a lot of things, including Big Pharma’s advocacy of various poisonous “medicine”, which has been statistically proven to cause more problems than they don’t even claim to solve. But people still have the right to choose and use as well as the right to refuse to choose their “medicine”. He or she who has not sinned should throw the stones otherwise leave us alone or you’ll too get stoned, and I don’t mean in the green-leaf way.

  24. The same thing that may considered a free choice when done in the privacy of one’s own home, takes on a whole different set of rules when done in the legal workplace. Unnprotected anal sex at home should not be regulated by anybody except those willing participants. Unprotected anal sex in the \ legal workplace can and should be regulated like any other potentially dangerous job is. Bullet proof vests dont give 100% protection for police officers, but they are still required to wear them. If you choose to wear one as an individual citizen go right ahead, if youre a cop you are required to wear it in many cities

  25. jeremysteele11 says:

    Go have unprotected anal sex with yourself, Joe.

  26. Jeremy,
    Go take a shit and masturbate. Oh wait, we already have you on film doing that. What a great perfromance, easily the best of what you call a career, or should I say caREAR. And if you need them I have some old telephone books you can take to the movie theatre so you can see over the guy sitting in front of you.

  27. jeremysteele11 says:

    That was a lame come-back, Joe. Answer my question already, what does “Joe Know” mean?… You don’t even know that if you’re talking about a single entity supposedly knowing something it should read “knows”.

    Uhhh. That performance was fake shitting. It’s comedy. you fool… well, Jim’s idea of comedy, at least, which I did a good enough job to have spawned my little internet cult following worshipping me for it (“Keeping it real with…” that’s right, with me!)… I never expected it, but hey, whatever.

  28. Menachem Schneerson says:

    Jeremy, did that black lady’s urine taste different than white piss? You know how black person body odor has that unique smell

  29. Is it my imagination or did this site pick up 4-5 trolls like this guy here Menachem recently? All they seem to do is make person attack after personal attack on every post.

  30. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Karmafan – It is not your imagination. It’s as if Cal Jammer’s Ghost just blew into town. Check Twitter and you’ll know what I mean.

  31. Menachem Schneerson says:

    Bullshit, I annihilated Roy Garcia in half a day. Feel my power. I’m only rough on Jeremy and Whitacrestein because I’m trying to help them. Jeremy is a narcissistic paranoid loon. I want him to confront the root cause of his mental problems. Whitacrestein is a self-righteous self-important uber-hypocrite stooge. He thinks he’s perceptive, yet he can only recognize phoniness and hypocrisy in those whose worldview differs from his own. I pwning him at will as a way of forcing him to look in the mirror.

  32. Menachem Schneerson says:

    CalJammersGhost? What’s that got to do with me? I only see someone who pointed out that Whitacrestein’s face is deadened from botox injections. (like duhh -Stevie Wonder could figure this out from a feel test) Also that Whitacrestein wants Shelly Lubben sexually. No shit sherlock.

  33. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @Schneerson — Right, there’s nothing like puerile insults and urine jokes to prompt introspection in others. Thank you for your selfless dedication to helping your fellow man.

  34. jeremysteele11 says:

    Menachem Schneerson Says:

    “Bullshit, I annihilated Roy Garcia in half a day”.

    Thanks for that. I’m glad you happen to like frequenting gay sites so that you were readily able to share with us this information.

    “Feel my power”.

    No thanks. But I bet Roy would.

    “I’m only rough on Jeremy and Whitacrestein because I’m trying to help them”.

    You’re helping me laugh and keep my fingers exercised.

    “Jeremy is a narcissistic paranoid loon”.

    You’re the same idiot who was unable to perceive my sarcasm, yet you’ll, in spite of that, continue to think you’re so much smarter and know what’s what about who.

    “I want him to confront the root cause of his mental problems”.

    Psychiatric “doctors” are coming up with new labels for things all the time. I’m currently in the process of of diagnosing “Schneerism”, as we speak, so keep on speaking, you jackass. There’ll be a drug out for it, soon!

  35. Michael Whiteacre says:

    @jeremy — LMFAO!!

  36. @Karmafan I think I can explain that… “HEEHAW! HEEHAW!”

  37. Menachem Schneerson says:

    Whitacrestein, looking at your pic prompts another question. If that little toupee on top of your head comes unglued and starts flapping around, are you unable to feel it on your botox numbed scalp?

    Jeremy, I was totally serious when I asked who abused you as a youth. I’ve read studies on people who make claims about being abducted by aliens and who see conspiracies everywhere. It turns out a very high percentage were molested and developed their own fantasy thought world as a coping mechanism. You have this indicator in addition to the fact that you’re a whore. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how many whores/porn performers/strippers were diddled by an uncle.

  38. jeremysteele11 says:

    Menachem, you moron. I’ve never been abused. I’ll swear that on anyone’s life, you fool. How many times do I need to repeat this point?:

    You’re the same idiot who was unable to perceive my sarcasm, yet you’ll, in spite of that, continue to think you’re so much smarter and know what’s what about who.

    Keep repeating that run on sentance in your head until it sinks it, dummy!

  39. Menachem Schneerson says:

    is there insanity in your family? did your mom walk around the house naked?

  40. jeremysteele11 says:

    No, but if she ever did you were probably the one hiding behind the bushes.

    I’d guess there’s a much better chance there’s insanity in yours… Besides, The Pharm is now diagnosing every normal mood as a “disorder”.
    That means Mr. Menudochem, that you better
    get yourself on those medications, quick!!! Obviously, your condition is much worse than the average.

  41. Menachem Schneerson says:

    I’ve don’t travel the gay hersey highway or make a habit of believing looney tunes conspiracy theories

  42. jeremysteele11 says:

    You’d probably take any highway you can get. And I’ve never accused any Mel Blanc characters of anything. Only idiots spit out meaningless and nebulous “theory” epithets and believe that’s an acceptable excuse for not examining anything. Unanswered questions are what should be of concern, anomalies and such.

  43. Menachem Schneerson says:

    I examine these theories all right – but it only takes me (and 99.99% of the population) a few moments to recognize they’re innnnnnnsane

  44. jeremysteele11 says:

    Go ahead, smartass, and name me one specific example of what is insane… I said specific, don’t generalize, you dumb ape!

  45. Menachem Schneerson says:

    “thinks the mainstream media is controlled by the CIA. He thinks the US government planned the 9/11 attack. After Osama Bin Laden was killed in May 2011, Steele stated on ‘Luke Is Back’ that Bin Laden had already been dead for 9 years and the news about Navy Seals killing him was a government fabrication. When Barack Obama released his original Hawaiian birth certificate in 2011, Steele stated that it was obviously fake because the forgers made the amateur mistake of listing Barack Sr’s race as “African”. He has suggested that the disease HIV/AIDS might not really exist and might be a government creation/fabrication. He stated that UFOs were seen in Japan at the time of the its 2011 tsunami and that their involvement is being kept from the public”

  46. jeremysteele11 says:

    I said specific, you idiot! I knew this response was coming. You’ve only adressed subjects, not any specifics within any subject. I told you in my last post, “don’t generalize, you dumb ape”. Regarding 9/11, why has the Pentagon never released any photos of a plane hitting it?” or “How did building WTC7 fall”?, etc. I keep making this point over and over and you dont get it. You’re just proving the reason I already know you’re brainwashed, one of the reasons… by associations and assumations, not research or investigations.

  47. Menachem Schneerson says:

    there’s an issue of Popular Mecanics you might want to look at. but wait, the article author is in the pocket of Michael Chertoff – lol

  48. jeremysteele11 says:

    Yeah, Benjamin Chertoff, Michael’s cousin. You laugh if you like. I’m not suprised.

  49. Menachem Schneerson says:

    He’s not his cousin. Happens to have the same last name. As soon as the article came out, a conspiracy loon expanded the conspiracy (based on nothing) by making up that they’re cousins. Within a week, all of you morons predisposed to believe were repeating it.

  50. jeremysteele11 says:

    From:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Chertoff

    Supporters of the conspiracy theories have claimed that 9/11: Debunking The Myths is “a propaganda piece” written by “a senior government official’s cousin” because Chertoff has the same last name as Department of Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff. However, Chertoff has repeatedly denied this claim, most notably in the September 11, 2006 issue of U.S. News & World Report, stating “no one in my family has ever met anyone related to Michael Chertoff”. In an audio interview, he noted that any possible relationship would likely only be found in “19th-century Belarus”, and that his mother has described any such possible relationship as “distant”. However, when phoned at her home in Pelham, NY, and asked whether or not her son Benjamin was related to Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, Judy Chertoff replied, “Yes, of course, he is a cousin.”:
    Christopher Bollyn, American Free Press, March 7, 2005

    So he denies it while another relative says he is related.

    Popular Mechanics is owned by Hearst Corporation.

    As fictionalized in Orson Welles’ acclaimed film Citizen Kane, William Randolph Hearst wrote the book on cronyism and yellow journalism and Popular Mechanics hasn’t bucked that tradition.

    The magazine is a cheerleader for the sophistication of advanced weaponry and new technology used by police in areas such as crowd control and ‘anti-terror’ operation. A hefty chunk of its advertising revenue relies on the military and defense contractors. Since the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq and in the future Iran all cite 9/11 as a pretext, what motivation does the magazine have to conduct a balanced investigation and risk upsetting its most coveted clientele?

    That magazine hit piece was a joke. “Debunking 9/11 Debunking” is a book by David Ray Griffen addressing it. There was a tower within the tower, it was over-fortified and if it did pancack collapse there’d be the vertical beams still standing up within the interior. You haven’t looked at one video which shows the WTC1&2 blowing upward and outward with force, obliterated into find powder which a “collapse” can not do. FDNY caught on tape explosions and testimony of before the planes hit and in the basement. There’s no picture of any plane hitting the Pentagon. Pieces of the Pennsylvania plane were found for 9 miles. It was shot down. I can go on and on. Its a JFK-like official story hitpiece, dummy! We’re still hearing the magic bullet theory all these years later from the same fucks you trust. How did WTC7 come down again? Anyone who’s ever seen that can’t possibly with a straight face answer that one!

    You see what you want. Not cousins. Doesn’t matter if they were or who owns the magazine. You’re just expanding the conspiracy based on nothing by claiming those things do matter. That’s how it works-more facts come out-then you morons expand the conspiracy to involve more people/emtities. Rosie O’donnell is the spokes-dyke of your retard point of view “fire doesn’t melt steele!”. Uh, it doesn’t have to. The physics are basic. Ever play with blocks when you were 3 years-old? Fucking moron

    Rosie got fired for presenting a very simple smoking gun that still has not been refuted WTC7. What physics are basic? Never in history has fire caused a building to pancake in on itself at freefall speed, including a building that was never hit by any plane or building, that is on tape being announced it was coming down before it did. Why the hell do you judge things you have obviously never seen? You’re incredibly dumb, so dumb, it’s impossible to show it to you with your cement-head. http://www.911docs.net And you think you know more about physics and buildings than Architects for 9/11 Truth? Or more about planes and flying than Pilots for 9/11 Truth?…
