Lots of interesting facts, FL_engineer!

[PhiKapMom]

Can you tell me what link that professor's name is on? Something weird is going on here.

[Iwo Jima]

I am curious to know when and from whom Berg learned his trade of working on towers, particularly the physical part. He was obviously very good at it, but that's not something that you just pick up or "learn by doing." For one thing, no one is going to let an amateur on their tower to train.

It seems that Berg had no such experience when he went to OK, but then when he returns he has an established tower business. I could be wrong on this, but that's why I am asking.

His e-mails make reference to a white van that "we" had in Texas and Oklahoma. He also refers to a 2000' "kings" tower in Texas. Who is "we," and what is he doing in Texas?

I think that it would be very telling to know whoever trained Berg and got him interested in this highly specialized business in the first place. I'm wondering if the Prometheus outfit which Soros funded was the instigating force. That may be why Berg named his business Prometheous and why Michael Berg took such steps to put his connection with his son's business on the ANSWER website.

If the Prometheus foundation [it's a foundation, right?] had a program to find and train young men to do this type of work, and Berg was one of its trainees, I would find that significant. Especially if the trainees are sent to OK to be trained by Iraqis.

True, no one could have known at that time that there would have been a war in Iraq that Berg would become involved in. But if there is an Iraqi terrorist-Prometheus link, then it would have to be that there is something about tower work that the terrorists value and that they intended to or have used in their work. Some specific advantage above the general benefits of someone like ClearChannel to having communication tower capabilities. Knowing what that specialized benefit is could go a long way in learning what Berg was doing in Iraq and for whom.

Please keep me on your ping list....your posts are excellent..


Is it possible that "Infante sold NO photos March 22, 23, 24, or 25th" because he was going to take the photos from Berg..and after he got them, he sold them on the " 26th, 29th, 30th, and 31st" etc? Or did I misinterpret that?

Sure thing--it's from one of Trinity's posts--


From the OU daily News
Professors remember Nick Berg
His OU instructors recall him as a unique and intelligent person.
Cole Bridges - Daily Staff Writer
May 19, 2004

Nick Berg, former Lloyd Noble Center employee and OU student during 1999-2000, has received intellectual praise from his former professors.

While at OU, Berg worked toward developing a "paper brick," said William McManus, associate professor of construction science. McManus said Berg had various interests and began developing the paper brick during undergraduate independent study.

The paper brick was compressed paper in the form of a brick and was intended for use as a building material, said Richard Ryan, associate professor of construction science. Berg took a survey class under Ryan, but Ryan said he knew little about Berg other than his classroom performance.

Ryan said Berg's desires to help others were likely what led to Berg's paper-brick project. "[Berg] was really interested in third-world countries and taking this kind of effort and trying to apply it in places where they didn't have building products," Ryan said. "I really think he did what he was doing with the brick because he had aspirations of helping people. He was a real nice fellow."

John Fagan, electrical and computer engineering professor, said Berg was an excellent man with a creative spirit and referred to Berg's murder as an "awful loss."

Berg was a tremendous human being with lots of promise, Fagan said.

Danny Akins, Berg's former co-worker at Lloyd Noble Center, said Berg was very intelligent. "He was brilliant," Akins said. "He was always coming up with stuff."

Akins said Berg mentioned going to Africa because he thought of an irrigation system that
would bring water long distances. Akins said he never saw any of Berg's inventions but said Berg would show his co-workers sketches of his innovations.

Akins said Berg constantly spoke about traveling the world and worked multiple jobs. "While riding his bike down the street, he would see somebody that needed some help and help them out.and [Berg worked] for a couple of temporary services," Akins said. "He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met."

Berg often lacked a home because of OU housing problems, Akins said.
Berg would sometimes sleep in Lloyd Noble Center, and he had been caught sleeping in Oklahoma Memorial Union by the OU Department of Public Safety, Akins said. Berg was listed for trespassing in the union on April 12, 2000, according to police reports in the April 13, 2000, edition of The Oklahoma Daily.

McManus said despite Berg's short stay at OU, he is remembered by his professors.
"We all remember him because he was a unique guy," he said.

Now I need to go do some garden work--been sitting at this computer too long (again)! (Darn FR, way too addicting.)

[calcowgirl]

I'm sorry I blew up like that...

Absolutely NO problem. I had seen it many times before (and also seethed at the many articles citing the VRWC enemy list). I'm glad you pointed it out, so anyone who hadn't read it takes note.

[Freedom2specul8]

Nice find Miz! Do you remember the article that discussed how he was arrested 2+times for living in the campus center while he wasn't a student? His friend was quoted as there being housing problems on the campus. That quote has showed up in 2 articles now...and both were used in a different context.

[Howlin]

Holy crap! Smaller and smaller world!

Prometheus Radio Project has a bunch of commie ties. It gets funding from Soros, Tides, etc. It is affiliated with Pacifica Radio... and others.

We ran a long thread on it before we finally found the Virginia registration for Bergs firm. There is a lot of speculation on the thread... but also some good info that is still relevant. I still have suspicions that Berg's Prometheus could be tied to PRP... but haven't been able to tie them together. Soros connection to PRP is noted in post#1
State has no records of Berg's firm (Nick Berg)

[Miss Marple]

I have to do some more yard work. I read Nick's e-mails but they didn't seem as weird as that one from Jordan. Lots of technical stuff, though, and I don't know what a lot of it means.

I wish I knew something about this industry, so I could better judge. I will be back after while.

[PhiKapMom]

Why do these professors all of a sudden remember Berg? And there was not a housing shortage in Norman at that time -- my son was at OU for 1999-2000 and we kept getting letters wanting him to move in the dorm.

This doesn't make sense!

These professors seem to have intimate knowledge of the guy now but they were all over the media never knowing and didn't recognize his picture? Only people that recognized him were the Lloyd Noble people.

I am going outside to work too after reading this -- total contradicts everything else that has been said by the profs -- why change now?

[calcowgirl]

There's a link to Tides?

The OTHER Prometheus has a link to Tides and Soros.

The housing shortage quotes make zero sense. We had less students at OU then and only housing that has been built is the Honors College. Two of my daughter's friends had no roommates in four-person suites this past fall.

My son was inundated with letters to move in the dorms. At that time they were recruiting Norman kids to live in the dorms to fill them up.

We had a ton of apartments back then that advertised all year around looking for people to live in an apartment not to mention the OU Daily runs a roommate wanted and so does the Norman Transcript.

My oldest daughter lived in the dorm at the time and she was the only person in a two-person room. In fact, her whole floor -- girls on one end and guys on the other had only one person per room which were meant for two. Cross was basically vacant at the time.

[AuntB]

Dang.....the world just keeps gettin' smaller.

[Freedom2specul8]

I've been looking for several minute and can't find the thread that discusses berg being arrested at OU. Do you remember which one it was?

[Freedom2specul8]

That makes it even more interesting! And none of it makes sense. I know for a fact that article was posted on FR...am looking for it now. He wasn't a student in 2000..but was arrested for living at the campus center twice. (not in the dorms mind you)

[TheSpottedOwl]

Thank you for finding that. Lol, a civil rights attorney!

She's another one to watch. I hate to say that, but her comments about MM's video of her brother sound like she's another fellow traveler.
