Murdoch’s Solar Power
Feb 27th, 2009 by Syd Walker

The Sun

The Sun: unmitigated rubbish, boobs on page 3

People who wonder why the mass media does such a lousy job covering stories that cry out for critical, in depth analysis have a partial explanation.

Some of them are just too busy inventing the news!

But lying isn’t always cost-free and can sometimes land you in court, as the British Sun Newspaper discovered earlier this week.

On Saturday 29th March 2008, a revolting website known as ‘Atlas Shrugged’ that incessantly spews Islamophobia and other Zionist propaganda at its readers, ran a story entitled GET OFF MY BUS I NEED TO PRAY!

It was based on an article in The Sun (now removed). The Sun is arguably Rupert Murdoch’s most despicable newspaper of all.

The Sun’s story concerned a Moslem bus driver in England called Arunas Raulynaitis, who’d allegedly ordered passengers off the bus while he prayed to Allah.

Quite a tale! One can imagine millions of indignant English folk spluttering over their cornflakes, muttering “What the country coming to!?”

But The Guardian reports this week that the story was a fabrication:

A London bus driver today accepted £30,000 in damages from the Sun over a claim that he ordered passengers off his vehicle so that he could pray.

The story in March last year caused Arunas Raulynaitis considerable distress and embarrassment, his solicitor, Stephen Loughrey, told Mr Justice Eady at the high court in London.

Loughrey said the newspaper now accepted that the allegations were entirely false and that Raulynaitis did not order any passengers off, there was no rucksack and no one refused to re-board because they feared he was a fanatic”

….”References to the false story quickly found their way on to a number of other often Islamophobic websites and the footage of Raulynaitis at prayer was also posted on YouTube, where it was viewed by thousands more people.”

So, a little good news. One defamed man gets justice… of sorts.

But what about the world’s billion+ Moslems? What about the hundreds of millions of vilified Arabs? That’s the magnitude of the defamation that’s been perpetrated for years – in top gear since the 9-11 false flag atrocities.

The Sun is not the only offender, although it may be the worst. I don’t know of a single exception among News Corporation’s publications worldwide: if any of them didn’t push an essentially false narrative about 9-11, Afghanistan and Iraq, they kept quiet about it.

And if that’s not complicity in the slaughter of innocent human beings on a monumental scale, I don’t know what is. Hat-tip to Atheo News for this story.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel on fire

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel on fire

Fire

Here’s a photograph of a raging fire at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Beijing earlier this year.

See Fatal fire destroys Beijing hotel

That is what a major fire in a steel-framed concrete towerblock looks like.

When the fire was eventually extinguished, the building was left wrecked – but standing.

Demolition

Controlled Demolition of the WTC

Controlled Demolition of the WTC

This is a photograph of a tower at the World Trade Center on September 11th 2001.

Can you spot the difference?

According to the Bush Administration and official investigations conducted thus far, the WTC Towers collapsed because of fire.

Nearly 3,000 people died that day – and many, many more since, including first responders now suffering from appalling lung diseases (whose plight has been ignored by most leading US politicians so far, but not by the best).

Only fools let criminals murder with impunity.

Why are the real perpetrators of 9-11 still at large?

Suspicious Police Reaction to Vigay Death
Feb 27th, 2009 by Syd Walker

The campaign to keep a free internet has lost an articulate, technically-savvy advocate.

On Thursday 19th February, a man went missing overnight in Southsea, near Portsmith on the English south coast. His name was Paul Vigay. Friends and colleagues discussed his disappearance on a newsgroup. Tragically, the next morning, Paul’s body was discovered in the sea.

Paul Vijay

Paul Vigay: he would have been suspicious...

February is not swimming weather on the south coast of England. There are no reports that Mr Vigay was in any way suicidal. Yet without missing a beat, local police are reported as saying the death is “not being treated as suspicious.

The local Portsmith media, also without comment, reports“Police say they are not treating the death of the 44-year-old as suspicious, and are not looking for anyone else in connection with it”

From half a world away, it’s impossible to know what happened to this unfortunate man. But it is possible to learn that Paul Vigay had other interests, not reported in the mainstream newspaper articles (although they do like to report the IT worker’s longstanding interest in ‘crop circles’).

Vigay was a dedicated 9-11 Truth activist. He also didn’t believe the official story about the ‘no inquest, no inquiry’ July 7th bombings in Britain. He was also a passionate advocate for web freedom.

Paul Vigay wrote about these subjects and published his material on the web. His websites are still online at the time of writing:

You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes – or live in Southsea – to realise that the police comment, at such an early stage, that his death is “not being treated as suspicious” is HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. So is uncritical acceptance of this story by the mass media.

In the words of Paul Vigay

In the words of Paul Vigay

How can police rule out foul play so early – without even mentioning Mr Vigay’s broader interests and connections? It doesn’t make sense – just like 9-11 didn’t make sense (three towerblocks collapsed at free-fall velocity because of fuel fires!) and the 7/7 London bombings didn’t make sense. Not to Paul Vijay. Not to anyone with a half a brain.

It is also clear that Mr Vigay cast a critical eye over the official narrative of World War Two history – see his history page.

An international FURORE should follow the death of Paul Vigay. There MUST be a transparent public coronial inquiry or inquest!

Solidarity, determined resistance and above all justice is what’s needed. Here’s a memorable extract from Paul Vigay’s homepage:

We must NEVER allow governments to restrict the internet or to erode freedom and democracy, especially after 9/11, the London bombings and other manipulated world events.

Indeed, every day Western governments are moving towards an Orwellian ‘big brother’ state where individuals are presumed guilty until proven innocent.

We must stop this agenda.

Blair War Crimes Foundation Rocks!
Feb 27th, 2009 by Syd Walker

Tony Blair

Tony Blair, war criminal

I discovered via Craig Murray‘s excellent website that the Blair War Crimes Foundation is open for business. Check it out!

Maybe you’d like to sign the online petition!

Below is the letter the BWCF sent to the President of The United Nations General Assembly, H.E. Father Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, and The Attorney General of the United Kingdom, and their successors in office. It rocks!

Any Australians with legal skills and the inclination to do a version for down-under?

RE ANTHONY CHARLES LYNTON BLAIR

We, the citizens of the United Kingdom and other countries listed, wish to uphold The United Nations Charter, The 1998 Rome Statute of The International Criminal Court, The Hague and Geneva Conventions and the Rule of International Law, especially in respect of:-

1: 1949 Geneva Convention IV: Article 146
The High Contracting Parties undertake to enact any legislation necessary to provide effective penal sanctions for persons committing, or ordering to be committed, any of the grave breaches of the present Convention.

2: 1907 Hague Convention IV: Article 3
A belligerent party which violates the provisions of the said regulations shall, if the case demands, be liable to pay compensation. It shall be responsible for all the acts committed by persons forming part of its armed forces.

We therefore call on you to indict Anthony Charles Lynton Blair in his capacity as recent Prime Minister of the UK, so long as he is able to answer for his actions and however long it takes, in respect of our sample complaints relating to the 2003 Iraq War waged by the UK as ally to the United States of America.

We are concerned that without justice and respect for the rule of law, the future for us and our progeny in a lawless world is bleak, as revealed by recent US declarations about the use of torture and the events of December 2008 in Gaza show.

The following are our sample complaints relating to the Iraq War 2003-2009:

1: Deceit and conspiracy for war, and providing false news to incite passions for war, causing in the order of one million deaths, 4 million refugees, countless maimings and traumas.

2: Employing radioactive ammunition causing long-term destruction of the planetary habitat.

3: Causing the breakdown of civil administration, with consequent lawlessness, especially looting, kidnapping, and violence, and consequent breakdown of womens’ rights, of religious freedom, and child and adult education.

4: Failing to maintain the medical needs of the populace.

5: Despoliation of the cultural heritage of the country.

6: Supporting an ally that employs ‘waterboarding’ and other tortures.

7: Seizing the assets of Iraq.

8: Using inhumane restraints on prisoners, including dogs, hoods, and cable ties.

9: Using Aggressive Patrolling indiscriminately, traumatising women and children and wrecking homes and property.

10: Marking bodies of prisoners with numbers, writing, faeces and other degrading treatment.

11: The use of cluster bombs and other indiscriminate weapons including white phosphorous on “shake and bake” missions.

12: Supporting indiscriminate rocket attacks from F16 fighter planes on women and children in Fallujah in Nov 2004

13: Supporting the shooting up of ambulances and medical personnel in Fallujah in Nov 2004

14: Supporting the expulsion of the entire population of Fallujah save for young men of military age, for a reprisal attack on that city in Nov 2004.

Note that the war crimes listed pertain only to Iraq.

A similar case can surely be mounted over Afghanistan. Then there’s the rest of Britain’s involvement, under Tony Blair’s leadership, in the bogus War on Terror. What about the false flag operations of July 7th 2005 when scores of Britons lost were murdered? When will Mr Blair be held to account for refusing any kind of public inquiry into the most lethal terrorist atrocity on British soil in history?

What about the death of Dr David Kelly and subsequent cover-up?
