BBC Claims WTC7 Collapse 'Solved'

05-07-2008 19:23

Note that the BBC has recently claimed that it "lost" the tapes in which they were caught reporting on the collapse of Tower 7 BEFORE it actually fell.

Sorry, but you simply don't lose tapes of major events, and they are always backed up in the event of damage or loss.

(Note to the BBC: It's already been solved. It was brought down in a controlled demolition, and the evidence proves this. The only questions remaining now are, was it the CIA or the Mossad, and why was an investigation blocked by the Fascists who used this 'useful crisis' to start multiple, illegal wars ... ?)

Badgers saved in England, but not in Wales

05-07-2008 19:17

Going against solid scientific advice the Welsh Assembly have voted to allow badger culling to go ahead in Wales, despite the leaked announced from DEFRA that badgers in England will be spared. This will be a wildlife massacre of an almost unprecedented scale - and for nothing. The largest report into bovine TB found that badger culling would actually make the situation worse by displacing surviving badgers.

Syria Calls on UN to Stop Israeli Aggression Against Its Citizens in Golan

05-07-2008 18:28

As Israel receives glowing praise in the international press for talking indirectly with Syria, it's proceeding into Syrian territory in much the same way it does Palestinian land. Are these talks simply an extension of the facade which passes for a 'peace process' with the Palestinians, which is solely designed as a stalling tactic?

'The Top Ten Connections Between NIST and Nano-Thermites' -- by Kevin Ryan

05-07-2008 04:52

Kevin Ryan
Regardless of how thermite materials were installed in the WTC, it is strange that NIST has been so blind to any such possibility. In fact, when reading NIST’s reports on the WTC, and its periodic responses to FAQs from the public, one might get the idea that no one in the NIST organization had never heard of nano-thermites before. But the truth is, many of the scientists and organizations involved in the NIST WTC investigation were not only well aware of nano-thermites, they actually had considerable connection to, and in some cases expertise in, this exact technology.

Rights granted for Great Apes in Spain

05-07-2008 03:03

"If you look at the course of western history you'll see that we're slowly granting basic rights to everyone. A long time ago only kings had rights. Then rights were extended to property-owning white men. Then all men. Then wymyn [women]. Then children. Then the mentally retarded. Now we're agonizing over the extension of basic rights to homosexuals and animals. We need to finally accept that all sentient creatures are deserving of basic rights." -- Moby (1)

US Subverting Belarus Election - Possibly Engaged in Terrorism

05-07-2008 00:35

IN recent memory, the CIA has engaged in the same sort of illegal operation in Lebanon and the Ukraine. There are suspicions they were also active in France and Canada.

If they engage in this in so many other countries, you have to wonder what goes on in their own?
