PUBLIC INQUIRY INTO 7/7 AFTER 911 REVELATIONS

10-09-2006 07:27

Following revelations from the US that the neocons orchestrated the attacks for 911 as an excuse for its raft of invasions in the US. I also have lots of questions about 7/7. What has happened about a proper enquiry? Why were a group of Israeli's told not to come to a meeting in Liverpool St on the morning of the bombs as reported in the Evening Standard but not followed up? Why was the police getting its information from the media and working out its response accordingly? If Tony Blair is so closely allied to George Bush and thinks nothing of innocent people dying in Iraq and Lebanon, why not here? What were security people doing working out what to do if a bomb was on the tube only weeks earlier. For the US story, see the following:

GM IS BAD, MAKE ORGANIC ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

10-09-2006 07:16

I have highlighted a few things wrong with genetically modified foods below. But for the science read  http://www.i-sis.org.uk/index.php
For those without access to organic food, please encourage everyone to grow their own food if you cannot afford organic or even conventional foods. GM foods (they should not be called this, they are synthetic derivatives posing as foods) It is cheaper, safer and healthier and puts you in touch with nature and the earth, which feeds us and it removes you from the supermarket chains.

Al Jazeera: The Fox News Of The Middle East ?

10-09-2006 03:46

It is probably no coincidence that a useless video of old Osama bin Laden reruns mysteriously appeared on Al Jazeera at about the same time George W Bush decided to break the Guiness Book of Records on 'terrorism speeches' -even though he already held the record ! And it was also probably no coincidence that his terrorism speech fest was timed to kick off the U.S. midterm elections. In fact it is both humorously and sadly all too obvious.

Will Clinton, Berger and Albright threaten the BBC with a libel suit?

09-09-2006 18:28

As you know, the BBC is planning to show Disney/ABC's defamatory "Path to 9/11" program in the UK on Sunday. I'm told by a friend that under UK libel laws there is no public person defense and damages and costs can both be in the millions. And, "British libel laws are considered pro-plaintiff, meaning that the defendant must prove that she or he did not commit libel."
