Free Speech Versus Peace Disturbance: A Conflict of Law
Most people do not realize there is an area of law called “Conflict of Law.” Laws conflict and this is a specialty area in law, which navigates around laws that hit each other head on in conflict.

LOOSE CHANGE 911 - May 2nd at Grand Lake Theater
What explains the World Trade Center Building 7’s strange collapse? And, why wasn’t there any mention of it in the Official 9/11 Commission Report?
Why did the FBI confiscate surveillance cameras videos that could confirm what hit the pentagon? And, why haven’t they been released?
Why where there no plane intercepts when there was ample time to do so by air defense? Were there stand down orders?
