Lethal Evidence to transform our world
Sep 14th, 2011 by Syd Walker

Dr Graeme MacQueen’s eloquent introduction to the International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001 (Toronto Hearings) is a useful starting point for those unfamiliar with this recent event…

On the third day of the hearings, Dr Niels Harrit gave a presentation. If you’re not familiar with Dr Harrit‘s work from previous material on this website – or from other sources – I suggest watching the whole video (see below). Including questions and answers, it takes approximately two hours.

If you don’t have time, the part of the video most directly relevant to this particular article begins at 53 mins 45 secs, when Dr Harrit discusses the human health consequences of breathing dust from the collapsed WTC. His discussion on that subject runs for approximately 15 minutes at the end of his speech.

The key point is that carbon nanotubes have been found in lung tissue from first responders(‘first responders are the heroic folk who pitched in, immediately after the 9/11 debacle, to help with rescue and clean up).

It’s estimated at least 60,000 workers contributed in the early and most dangerous stages.

Justice is Blind

For the 9/11 mass-murderers, the writing is on the wall

As I pointed out in a previous article, Blind Freddy himself could deduce on the day that the dust was dangerous. Even so, Bush Administration EPA chief Christie Whitman gave some unequivocal guarantees, as early as September 15th:

I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington, D.C. that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink…. The concentrations are such that they don’t pose a health hazard…We’re going to make sure everybody is safe

It was a scandalous deception that probably contributed to very lax protective measures taken by clean-up workers and their supervisors. Many workers had no respirators. Some breathed the foul air directly.

The dust must have included all sorts of extremely unpleasant things, including particles of asbestos. Small wonder there’s been an epidemic of disease among the surviving first responders. Last year, Congress finally granted funds for the health care of first responders. It was late in coming and less than what’s needed, but amazingly it represented the first tangible gesture to compensate tens of thousands of Americans initially lionized as heroes, then discarded like garbage.

However, Dr Harrit’s explosive new information, shared with the conference, is that carbon nanotubes have been found in the lung tissue of first responders. The discovery was made by a group of doctors at Mount Sinai Medical School in Manhatten and published last year in the journal Experimental Health Perspectives. See: Case Report: Lung Disease in World Trade Center Responders Exposed to Dust and Smoke: Carbon Nanotubes Found in the Lungs of World Trade Center Patients and Dust Samples.

These highly unusual tiny threads of carbon are not ‘normally’ found in lung tissue – even in the lung tissue of people who’ve contracted severe lung dieseases. Dr Harrit’s hypothesis is that carbon nanotubes were formed during the microscopic thermitic reactions that took place when the three buildings were brought down in controlled demolitions.

If that hypothesis is correct (the wording is mine, not Dr Harrit’s), first responders carry, within their lungs, the signature trace of the murder weapon.

This must surely provide the basis for the biggest and most important ‘class action’ in US/world history?

If such an action is feasible (why wouldn’t it be?), I believe it should be taken by and on behalf of the first responders against a range of co-defendants: the US Government, the State of Israel, the WTC leaseholders, key elements in the mass media, key security companies and others.

We need the same quality of information, analysis and dialog observed at the Toronto Hearings in a court of law.. a court with subpoena powers and the authority to question witnesses under oath.

The tragedy of the first responders’ poisoned lungs cannot be overlooked. It must be satisfactorily explained.

Those responsible for the poisoning must compensate the victims.

Justice may be blind, but this new information will surely wake up Americans. The villains who try to make fools out of America’s iconic heroes have certainly fooled some of the people, some of the time – but their lucky run has come to an end.

911 Truth : The Elephant In The Room
Sep 9th, 2011 by Syd Walker

For ten years now, mainstream western culture has had a new icon: 9-11.

Each year brings a torrent of new propaganda to memorialize the official myth. This year – the tenth anniversary - will possibly be the worst yet.

I’m one of the millions around the world who believes the official narrative about 9-11 is a pack of disgusting lies. Unsure how to ‘celebrate’ a decade of man-made atrocities following the man-made disaster of 9-11 itself, today I came across a documentary about 9-11 I’d never seen before.

Elephant ignored

What elephant?

The movie below by young British filmmaker Dean Puckett is not new. It won a London Independent Film Festival award for best UK documentary of the year in April 2008 (see this brief video from that time, including a short interview with the film-maker). Even so, if you also haven’t viewed it before, I strongly recommend it!

The interview with the British database administrator Scott Forbes, who worked in the WTC South Building at the time of 9/11, was a particular highlight for me. I’d never before seen a first-hand account which so clearly indicates activities were underway in the WTC in days preceding the buildings’ collapse that were consistent with the theory of planned controlled demolition. (The segment with Mr Forbes begins just over 12 minutes into the movie).

Mr Puckett explains it’s not intended as a film about his own views; it’s about views within the grassrooots “9-11 Truth movement” (which has become a global phenomenon). It’s also a film about the first responders in New York City, their appalling and worsening ill-health – and the shockingly poor treatment they’ve received from the US Government.

For Dean Puckett, the “Elephant In The Room” is the failure of mainstream media to report on the existence of these (overlapping) groups of people. People working in mainstream media know very well these people (we) exist. But both have gone largely unreported. The plight of 9-11 first responders has been downplayed to a quite disgraceful extent. The 9-11 truth movement has either been ignored, misrepresented or ridiculed.

This is the story of people whose existence, it seems, is too inconvenient for western mass media to mention.

Here’s the explanatory text below this video on Youtube, for further information:

The Elephant in the Room is a documentary following British filmmaker Dean Puckett through his journey into the 9/11 Truth Movement: a global movement of ‘conspiracy theorists’ who believe that the official explanation about what happened on 9/11 is totally or partially inaccurate.

The filmmakers travel from middle England, across Europe and to New York for the six year anniversary of the attacks, where the film takes one final twist as we are introduced to the 9/11 first responders who are suffering from various grave health difficulties due to the toxic dust that they breathed in trying to help their country during the weeks after this tragic event.

Told with a personal hands on approach that avoids advancing any one position, the film asks the question: are these crazy conspiracy theorists? Or is 9/11 Truth a credible political movement?

The film premiered at the BFI on the Southbank in London – winning Best UK Documentary at the London Independent Film Festival 2008.

Backing bigots: Obama’s Libya blitz is a tragic betrayal of Africa
Jul 30th, 2011 by Syd Walker

An insight into ‘Free Libya’, via Twitter


Libyan_Republic Tweet 29th July 2011

One of the xenophobic, bigoted and anti-African 'rebels' that Obama supports

Libyan Republic

Proud of bigotry

Disgusting tweets by @Libyan_Republic are indicative of the mentality of many Libyan ‘rebel’ supporters on Twitter.

Their contempt for black Africans is blatant.

With attitudes like this rife among anti-Ghadafi fanatics, these are dangerous days for any black Africans remaining in rebel-controlled territory. It’s likely most have already fled.

Libyan rebels bullying a black African

Libyan rebels bullying a black African: there are many reports of mass atrocities against blacks in rebel-held territory

They’re also bad days for NATO’s mercenaries, stooges and dupes.

NATO-backed  Libyan ‘rebels’ look more like a rabble every day, with progress on the military front stalled despite some 7,000 NATO bombing raids to weaken the Government and ‘degrade’ its forces.

Proliferating reports of rebel atrocities now appear even in western mainstream media – see Libya: The West ‘Ignoring Rebel War Crimes’

There are also indications the fragile unity of highly disparate rebel factions is fracturing.

Two days ago, the rebel’s military commander General Younis was assassinated in the ‘rebel capital’ of Benghazi. Al Jazeera speculates the assassins may have connections with the Libyan Islamic Fighting Groupthe very same terrorists proscribed by the British Government (while it duplicitously aids and abets the LIFG’s treachery).

Millions march - Harlem August 13th 2011

Millions march - Harlem August 13th 2011

It’s a bad time to emphasize – as if most of us didn’t already know – the bizarre allies America’s first black President has chosen to support.

Before NATO’s multi-billion dollar bombing campaign began, Libya was the African nation with the highest UNDP Human Development Index ranking on the continent . Under Ghadafi’s leadership, it has also made an unmatched contribution to the autonomous development of Africa as a whole. One might have thought US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, supposedly a champion of womens’ rights, would be impressed by the freedom and status of Libyan women.

Instead the US Administration has been digging itself even deeper into the mire over Libya – recently giving recognition to the self-appointed, unelected and widely-despised ‘Transitional National Council’.

By caving in to bad advice from Zionists with ulterior motives Obama and Clinton are bringing further disgrace on the USA and even seriously damaging western corporate energy interests via reduced profits and substantial writedowns. Then there are the impacts of higher oil prices on a fragile US and European economic recovery. By any normal standards, the attack on Libya is clearly madness. But Zionist standards are not normal. The fate of Iraq shows that the agenda of the Zionist/War Lobby is not benign. The warmongers really don’t care about the impact of their wars on either the west or the orient. Death, destruction and economic turmoil are their speciality.

Even now, as spokesman Moussa Ibrahim has explained, the Libya Government is willing to extend the hand of friendship to the USA and negotiate without conditions. America need only stop behaving like a dictatorial bully that’s taken bad acid – and peaceful dialogue, trade and the rebuilding of relationships can begin again. Surely that’s not too much to ask?

On August 13th in Harlem, New York City Americans who oppose lynchings and anti-black bigotry have a chance to demonstrate their disgust at Zionist-orchestrated imperialist attacks on Africa – see Millions March in Harlem Gears Up for August 13 to Oppose US War Against Libya.

Keynote speaker is the Rev Louis Farrakan, who has been a consistent voice of sanity since the anti-Libya heist began.

Let’s hope by then President Obama will have called off this criminal attack so normal Americans have something to celebrate.

Stop Bombing Libya!

 

Progress beyond America

48 years after the hijack… Jack Kennedy’s America is no more

Space Shuttle Atlantis - Last flight over Bahamas

The space shuttle Atlantis over the Bahamas, prior to docking with the International Space Station on NASA's last shuttle flight. Part of a Russian Progress spacecraft, docked to the station, is visible in the upper foreground.

Excerpt from Air Conditioning The US Military Costs More Than NASA’s Entire Budget in the Huffington Post, 22nd June 2011:

It costs $1 billion more than NASA’s budget just to provide air conditioning for temporary tents and housing in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Gizmodo. The total cost of keeping troops cool comes to roughly $20 billion. That figure comes from Steve Anderson, a retired brigadier general who was Gen. Petraeus’ chief logistician in Iraq.

NASA’s total budget is just $19 billion…
