Conspiracy Theory of the Day/Week/Month.I wonder if this guy's ever called Michael Medved?This is actually from an e-mail that someone I was providing technical help for sent me two years ago. I helped him with a problem setting up [the company I work for]'s software, and he was so grateful he sent me what he called "a present" and said I'd made a friend. A little backstory is that he was doing some graduate work on safety or something, and wanted to do a safety analysis on one of the original Space Shuttle designs.
I got a good laugh then, but didn't think to post it on the blog until recently when he sent me an invitation for some WAYN network or something. At the time, I thought he was your average 30-year-old graduate student with no knowledge of the real world, but his WAYN profile says he's 54. So he went from disillusioned college student to creepy old guy in my mind.
Anyways, the e-mail.

Like the lion and the mouse, I am grateful for this, so when you are done read the rest of this email. I am trying to help get the US out of a mess, so want everyone to know what I am telling you in this email. Be careful though. (some people will believe you and some don't want to believe you.) d.r.
Just realize the shuttle is a deathtrap as it was designed without safety, but with cost in mind. All the safety went out the window when von Braun resigned in 1972 saying "America is not committed to a manned space program", and he designed the saturn v which took us to the moon. After 1969, america needed money for the war in nam and the war on poverty for lbj, so nixon and lbj cut the nasa budgets. von braun died in 1977, first shuttle launched in '81. the rest is history but there is the Columbia Accident Investigation Board report on the net at caib.us, just search for "caib" and take the second hit from google.com and you'll find six volumes of what is wrong with the shuttle. If you just read the introduction and the first chapter you will be appalled.
In any case, I promised you a present. You have helped me very much, so I am giving you the name of a man who used to make thirty grand a month as an israeli intelligence officer, Victor Ostrovsky. I have read his two books which you can find at amazon.com, but which are summarized at his site at: users.cyberone.com.au/myers/ostrovsky.html called: How Mossad Got America to Bomb Libya and Fight Iraq There is another one on the marines who died in beirut from a car bomb, taken from his first book. The mossad used him as a scapegoat in an op he tried to warn them was a trick but they did not listen and wanted him dead. So he escaped to canada where his father had been born, so he had a canadian passport, and he got his first book published there which was a bestseller in 1990, By Way of Deception (we shall wage war) the motto for the mossad. He says that it was mossad who gave us the false baloney about iraq and saddam going nuclear which was all a lie to get us to get rid of iraq's big army after the iran-iraq war, during which the mossad sold weapons to IRAN! through germany and killed anyone who got in its way, including Premier of Schleswig_Holstein, Uwe Barschel, after they ruined him politically.
Also find, in his second book, The Other Side of Deception how and why they helped overthrow Gorbachev which caused the collapse of the soviet union which reagan got credit for, but the cia did not even know was going to collapse.
By the way, NASA built a lot of solid fuel rockets with the air force for the cold war, for the ICBM's, von braun designed the V2 for germany in WW2, and was the head of one of our space centers back in the 1960s-early 1970s. The solid fuel is ammonium perchlorate and powdered aluminum, both of which are explosive. powdered aluminum is used in fireworks and gun powder, flash powder, and by the way, the shuttle's framework was mostly aluminum alloy which melted in the columbia disaster, in the left wing which had a hole knocked in it from a piece of 28 inch long, 3.5 inch wide bolt which held the solid fuel booster to the external tank, which was blasted off, and the bolt-catcher was never designed to take 100% of the blast, so it failed and radar shows a piece of a bolt hitting the wing which hole in the wing let in the 2900 degree heat of re-entry, at 18times the speed of sound, which melted the aluminum after it got to 1000 degrees. So the wing disintegrated, then the whole shuttle disintegrated. Remains of all of the crew have been found. I really liked the captain, a guy named william, who was born in 1961. He was a friendly looking guy, wide-eyed and bright. And he did not deserve to die that way.
So I am taking this personally, along with the other americans who have died in iraq. By the way, mossad agitated between kuwait and iraq to start the first war over there, and killed a kuwaiti political cartoonist and made it look like iraq did it. israel has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire mideast, at dimona where they build them. Mordechai Vanunu was put in solitary confinement for 18 years, for revealing that to the brits and the russians. kidnapped from england he was tried and put in prison where he still is. mossad wanted their enemies to know they had the nukes, but did not want the vanunu around to answer questions so it could not be verified, but he had photos he gave the old ussr, and they were published in britain in the paper before he was kidnapped, shipped in a box back to israel. etc. And they have chemical/biological weapons they test on palestinians who come in illegally to israel, at Nes Zionyya, a place so secret they erase it from all maps, and even from satellite photos they manipulate. But what you have to know, is there is a secret group in the mossad, called AL, which means Top or Upper, which is operates illegally in the US, out of toronto or montreal canada, which collects sex or drug scandals on US congressmen, or their aides, to blackmail them into supporting israel.
mossad tried to stop ostrovsky from publishing, tried to kill him in canada, but he got away because he knew ottawa better and was trained by mossad to escape anyone tailing him.
AL is so secret that even ordinary mossad operatives do not know they exist. AL infiltrates the cocktail circuit Washington, DC and mossad also gets info easily from NATO countries.
Ostrovsky says as long as US supports israel there will be no peace in the mideast, and mossad does not want peace, but war or unconditional surrender.
It thinks if there is peace israel will lose its weapons and then the arabs will attack. Has aided extremist muslim fundamentalists in afghanistan and the hamas, etc, to make it impossible to have peace. Has killed israelis who tried to start peace process. Another site by ostrovsky has Rabin as killed by internal security allowing a fanatical zionist to shoot him because he was bringing peace to the region.
Mossad thinks that if your country was not burning jews during world war 2 then it was helping those who were. And Iknow from jewish sources in Austin, that head of US immigration during WW2 was anti-semitic so did not allow jews to escape from holocaust, and jewish immigration was restricted by congress during the 1920s due to 3 million polish jews wanting to come to america, and the redscare after 1917.

I like how he's able to shift from NASA/Shuttle to Iraq and to Israel in the same paragraph.
Now granted, there are a number of problems with the Shuttle program (Steve Kinney had some interesting stories from Susan's dad, and one of the users from GE in Cincinatti that I trained had done the safety analysis on the release clamps and had first-hand experience). But in my understanding, the main problem with the Columbia disaster was that of beauracracy and politics, not design (other than the bolt catchers). Using liquid-fueled boosters would not have prevented either the Challenger or Columbia disasters, and an ejectable crew compartment wouldn't have saved either crew.
