About 3 weeks ago (maybe less), my wife gave me an ad. from the local paper (Nottingham actually) regarding an event called "Defining Terrorism" which was to be held in the Albert Hall (Nottingham) today. I had planned to attend and also planned to try and find out a bit more about the event. I meant to see if there were other events being organised. However, my apology is, I completely forgot to do this - as I was focused on what I wanted to say at the event. I found there were 4 events in London Glasgow and Leeds - but they were all earlier this week. I wish I'd checked earlier.
So anyway...
I spent some hours the other night writing out a "deposition" (see below) to read out. After the 4 speakers (none of whom questioned the official story, I understand), I was the 2nd person to speak.
I managed to read out about 1/2 a page, before I was interrupted by Lord Carlile and then asked what definition of I was referring to. "State sponsored terrorism" I replied. I was then asked to let someone else speak, with the suggestion that my points would be returned to at the end "if there was time". I was not given another opportunity to finish. I had presumed the meeting was scheduled to run 2-4 and most other people seemed to have finished making points and Lord Carlile wrapped the meeting up at 4. I later discovered (see below) that the scheduled running time was until 4:30. However, I did present Lord Carlile with a pack of information, including an audio CD, 2 DVDs and copies of our UK petition and the ST911 press release and petition (printed out on about 80 sheets of paper) totalling 11,000 signatures.
I gave each panel member a DVD and have tracked down their e-mail addresses and mailed them the "list" below, which I was prevented from finishing.
Fortunately, even though I was cut off, the lady I sat next to spoke (immediately after I finished) - in support of what I was saying and she made a few related points. Afterwards we stayed and talked to one another for a while, so that was good, and we have exchanged contact details.
We seem to see another not-so-subtle mind game in that these forums (fora?) where set up by the Muslim Council of Great Britain
http://www.mcb.org.uk/features/features.php?ann_id=1517
I mailed them a message regarding the experience I described above. So, here for the record, let it be known that Lord Carlile was publicly presented with evidence of the 9/11 cover up and the list of questions and points raised below and that he did not allow me to read to the end of my list.
Questions
for the Forum “Defining Terrorism”
7th
July 2006, Nottingham Albert Hall
We
have all been told that the Official Stories of both the 9/11 and 7/7
tragedies are essentially true in all the important respects. However, there
are now a growing number of disparate groups who are questioning these
assumptions. This is a necessary and very important process, due to
(a)
the initial reluctance of the Bush Administration to set up an
investigation into the events of 9/11. (They only did so following demands
from victims families.)
(b)
The refusal of this government to set up a public enquiry into the 7/7
bombings, even when substantial pieces of legislation have been introduced or
amended on the basis of the assumed nature the 7/7 and 9/11 tragedies.
Here,
I list some of the specific questions about 7/7 and 9/11 events, pertaining to
hard, factual and easily verifiable evidence, which must be answered as
completely and honestly as possible if a true understanding of the nature of
terrorism is to be gained.
These
questions are presented here for the public record and a response is not
expected at this meeting, though any considered answers will be appreciated.
9/11 Questions
- Why
did World Trade Centre Building 7 (WTC 7) collapse at free-fall rate, in
6.6 seconds, into its own footprint, when no plane hit it?
- Why
did the WTC’s owner, Larry Silverstein, state that WTC 7 had to be
“pulled” by the fire department and yet the FEMA report said “[how
the fires caused the collapse] remain[s] unknown at this time”?
- Why
did World Trade Centre (WTC) Buildings 1 & 2 collapse at near
“free-fall” rate, with many witness reports of explosions (the sound
of large explosions was also recorded, from 2 miles away, on Rick
Siegel’s video camera).
- The
official account of the collapses of WTC 1 & 2 describes a “Pancake
collapse”, so why was a pyroclastic flow of dust seen when the buildings
collapsed, rather than a “pile of pancakes”?
- Why
did none of the 19 hijackers appear on the passenger lists?
- Why
were the flights’ Black Boxes supposedly never recovered, though at
least 1 witness says he helped the FBI find them at the WTC?
- How
can the Cellphone calls have worked when this technology is only rated to
work reliably up to speeds of 140 miles per hour?
- Why
was the wreckage of Flight 93, which crashed into the ground in
Shanksville Pennsylvania, spread over an area of 8 square miles?
- Why
do the photos of the Flight 93 and the Pentagon crash sites show no LARGE
pieces of wreckage?
- Why,
when requested, was no clear film released of the supposed plane
that hit the Pentagon?
- At
The Pentagon, how were bodies
from the Boeing 757 identified by DNA tests, while at the same time 60
tons of metal supposedly vaporized?
- Why
did NORAD’s standard defence procedures (which were activated 67 times
in the 12 months before 9/11) all fail on that single morning?
These
are just some of at least 400 questions, pertaining to hard, factual evidence,
which have not been answered by the 9/11 Commission Report. Additional related
questions are:
·
Why
would Florida millionaire property developer, Jimmy Walter give away 350,000
DVDs and spend $6 million in presenting an alternative analysis to the public
to answer some of the questions raised above?
·
Why
have a group of over 300 Scholars (myself included), stated in a press release
they reject the Official Story of 9/11 as a Hoax?
·
Why
have the BBC failed to report the formation of the Scholars for 9/11 Truth
Association, despite the News Director (Helen Boaden) acknowledging e-mail
messages sent to her about this matter?
·
Why
have the other mainstream media organisations also not reported the group’s
formation, nor its submission of a petition to the US congress (signed by
11,000 people) to ask for the release of evidence? (Copy included here).
·
Why
have over 500 people signed our UK Petition to the Government and Media
calling for an international independent inquiry into 9/11?
·
Why
have Hollywood actors Charlie Sheen and Ed Asner publicly questioned the
official account of 9/11 and why have the true nature of their remarks not
been mentioned by the BBC or in any UK mainstream media outlet?
Questions on the 7/7 Bombings
·
Why did Peter Power of
Visor Consultants state that his organisation was running an exercise at the
same time as the actual bombings – with simultaneous bombs going off at the
exact stations where the real events occurred?
·
Why did a photo published
in the Daily Mail on 28th July show damage consistent with a bomb
being under the train?
- Why
did Mark Honigsbaum’s initial Report from Edgware Road specifically
state that witnesses said there was “a massive explosion and some
passengers described how the tiles… the covers on the floor of the train
suddenly flew up... rose up”?
- Why
did Eyewitness Bruce Lait’s account in the Cambridge Evening News state
the policeman said “mind that hole, that's where the bomb was'. The
metal was pushed upwards as if the bomb was underneath the train.” Why
did he say “They seem to
think the bomb was left in a bag, but I don't remember anybody being where
the bomb was, or any bag,"
- Why
did Mr Blair, announce at 3pm on 7th July that the supposed
attack bore “all the hallmarks of an Al Qaida attack” before any
evidence had been properly gathered?
- Why
was the train that the Suicide Bombers are supposed to have caught from
Luton cancelled on that morning?
- On
the single CCTV Image of the four accused suicide bombers together, why
does one of the railings appear to go in front of the left arm of one of
the men, when the railings are clearly behind him? Why are none of their
faces easily recognisable?
- What
was the reason for the changing story about what type of explosives were
used?
·
Why
have all these critical questions, based on easily verified evidence, not been
asked by any of the mainstream media?
Until
these questions are addressed (rather than being ignored) - by the Government,
The Police, the Intelligence services and the mainstream media - everyone
should doubt that the official stories of these tragedies are accurate.
Everyone should be extremely concerned by existing official statements made
regarding these issues. They
should also be concerned about proposed legislation which pertains to these
events such as SOCA, LRR and CCA. They should ask questions and demand
answers.
I
hereby present the panel with this list of questions and accompanying evidence
and petitions, on behalf Scholars for 9/11 Truth and over 10,000 people who
have signed those petitions (here
and here).
Thank you. _________________ Andrew
