Defective construction work, whether the result of inadequate design, faulty workmanship or poor materials – or some combination of these failings – is a frequent cause of legal disputes. Someone is usually to blame, either the builder or one or more of the professional consultants, or even the entire project team. It is important therefore that the project team should possess a good working knowledge of their responsibilities and liabilities. Written by a solicitor with over twenty years of experience of building disputes, this book examines the responsibilities and liabilities of the project team when defects occur. It sets out the background role of the common law and statute and includes detailed discussion of important case law affecting the construction process from inception through to completion, together with a consideration of the impact of letters of intent, 'no contract' situations, and specific provisions of model conditions of contract.

While passing through Newburgh Bay in 1609, explorer Henry Hudson’s shipmate noted that the locale would be ideal for a village. True to his prediction, some 200 years later Newburgh was incorporated as a village and has since become the Queen City of the Hudson. It is a city of historical reputation. Here, Gen. George Washington awarded the first Purple Heart and wrote his famous letter refusing to become a king. The Newburgh site known today as Washington’s Headquarters is America’s first historic preservation building―the 1750 Hasbrouck House. Newburgh provides a glimpse into the city’s past, with chapters that tell the story of a city of industry and innovation. Newburgh had telephone service as early as 1879 and was the second city to have a street illumined by an electric light bulb. Its East End contains the largest historic district in the state, covering a total of 445 acres from the Hudson riverfront westward. Within the district are rare examples of Greek Revival, Federal, Italianate, and Second Empire designs.

Millions of people now know the main arguments for the thesis 9/11 was an inside job, starting from the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center buildings No. 1, 2 and 7. Even a champion of orthodoxy like Time Magazine was obliged to note that the 9/11 Truth Movement is no longer a fringe phenomenon. It is a mainstream reality. Kevin Barrett takes this now-familiar thesis as a springboard to new territory in this book. Like Jack Kerouac in On the Road, Barrett has written a gospel for a new generation of post - 9/11 sceptics.This ebullient book strikes a confident keynote for this sudden coming of age. It is a tonic draft of courage for millions of disenfranchised 9/11 truthers - and for the uneasy majority who sense that America, once a beacon of ideals for humanity, is no longer on the right track. Truth Jihad is the first 9/11 Truth book that is not primarily tasked with proving 9/11 was an inside job to our fellow humanity.

This book is a biography of Jim Fetzer and Kevin Barrett. But it is also a call to resistance: - Stop the wars - End the empire - Help the poor * It connects the dots between resistance efforts against the American Empire and the White Rose resistance against Hitler. * It tells the truth about 9/11, Sandy Hook, the Boston bombings — false-flag attacks designed to soften the resistance to American dominance at home and abroad. * It shows the way to understanding the world in which we live today — and points the way for a stronger and more democratic and just society. Fetzer and Barrett — The Dynamic Duo — the face, the heart, the soul of the American Resistance to war, oppression, secrecy. They are the real hope of America for real change. They are the face of Jefferson, Paine, Franklin. They look at our nation and speak truth.

he nine essays in this volume written between 2005 and 2015--and two in 2019--trace the arc of evidence exposing the myth that Arab hijackers, led by Osama bin Laden, were responsible for the terror attacks of 9/11. The essays by editor Ronald Bleier and four contributing authors, contend that 9/11 was a false flag operation, an inside job, planned and executed by the George W. Bush White House. Two essays by Ronald Bleier summarize evidence presented by the late Gerard Holmgren, Morgan Reynolds and others that no planes crashed on 9/11: the so-called No Planes Theory (NPT). The central implication of the NPT is that there were no Arab or Muslim hijackers, nor were any planes hijacked, and that no planes crashed on 9/11. Unsurprisingly, Osama bin Laden correctly protested his total innocence. The NPT asserts that 9/11 terror was a homemade U.S. operation conducted by elements of the security services, overseen largely by Vice President Dick Cheney. The shock and awe of 9/11 did not require outside assistance although it seems likely the Israeli government had prior knowledge. 9/11 was to be seen as a new Pearl Harbor, conceived to jump-start permanent Global War, employing terror to advance its imperialist and nihilistic war plan, intending destruction, destabilization and mass suffering as collateral damage. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 90s, the U.S. sought a replacement bogeyman--and created one in the Muslim nation. The new enemy facilitated the U.S. agenda of permanent war to maintain and enlarge its security budgets and to support Israel's agenda of destroying its enemies. The claim that no planes were involved on 9/11 is sustained by the controlled demolition of three World Trade Center towers, the refusal or inability of the government to produce evidence of hijackings and hijackers, of plane crashes, or of plane wreckage. Also addressed is the question of how the cell phone calls were made and what happened to the airline passengers. The volume's last essay by Ronald Bleier, "Did Dick Cheney Plan to Assassinate President Bush?," ventures into speculation arising largely from the unsuccessful attempt to assassinate President Bush in Florida on the early morning of 9/11, and the suppression of news of this foiled plot.
