George Galloway on Sky News - 06.08.06

[Riaz Ahmed]

Good morning Comrades,

Has any one seen George Galloway this morning on Sky News?

He was interviewed by a lady news presenter. I thought at one point she was going to cry.

George was brilliant in his interview, very powerful and told her like it is!

I hope someone can find a link to the interview.

[TRUTH]

[Riaz Ahmed]

Thanks,

Its so obvious where it is now.

This is the same George Galloway who cites a Hollywood film, United 93 as evidence that the official 9/11 story is fact.

I have heard George speak on many occasions and have been frequently brought to tears myself but he stubbornly refuses to examine the real evidence.

[Skeptic]

I don't see his not being involved in the 9/11 movement as any indication of his credibility

Say what you like about him, maybe he's a terrible politician on a local level - but that interview was brilliant

[Busker]

That was almost as good as the "George goes to Congress" coverage.

I think it'll be a while before he's invited back, don't you?

[Riaz Ahmed]

Well,

to be honest, I have heard him on many occasion saying that he does not believe that the 9.11 was an inside job, which is a lttle unfortunate in many cases.

But you cant know him for standing up for the oppressed.


Nice Beard George!!!!

Greetings

I'm not familiar with his background but for me that was outstanding and above all the TRUTH for once.

[Skeptic]

[Newspeak International]

Been listening to him for 3 weekends now and have emailed articles and links for his perusal.
I'd very much doubt the mandate for the show could possibly include any
direct linkage to 11/9/01 conspiracy facts,if there were the show would be 'pulled'

I do find it "interesting"
that questions on human rights issues have suddenly become the vogue
since Israel's actions against Lebanon!

I know I find it easier to put my point of view across re the lack of action
by the world community,and in particular Bolton at the UN and their collusion,combined with the UN peace proposal!! how could Lebanon
agree to that?

Especially since it backs up what I said in my previous comments.

Bloody disgusted that it takes the deaths of innocents to help prove a point though.

Oh dear I'm ranting again,sorry!

George was awesome. He was a hero on the battlefield. Poor Anna Botting was losing it. Every question she put to him, as silly as they sounded, George just blasted them to pieces. He was great.

By the way if you listen to talksport radio station, George holds a talk show there regularly and he's brilliant.

[Riaz Ahmed]

No need to apologize dh,

I know some people dont like him. But as far as I am concerened - he speaks the truth when it comes to defending the oppressed and does not woffle on like the main stream politicians.

He tells it as it is. And there are not many like him. That's what my opinion is based on - because at the moment Palistianins dont have a voice!

You call him a prick - I would go one step further and say that he has balls to go with it.

[flamesong]

[Narinder]

I have to say I'm with Riaz with this one!

Topcat George is not like those other conventional politicians out there, yes I may just be a pawn in the game, but damn he can certainly get people's blood pumping, including myslef!


Light up George

Please no personal attacks amongst us.

We are in it together. United we stand and divided we fall!

Incidentally, until the resultant questioning of George Galloway's stance on 9/11, how was this thread 'News about 9/11' as the sub-forum description prescribes?

[Forbin]

Man, that was a great interview!

[flamesong]

That is not strictly true. In fact it is blatantly untrue!

[Forbin]

[flamesong]

Well, having attempted to draw the attention of Respect, SWP and George Galloway to 9/11, believing that they would be great allies, I listened to the interview with great attention as it was broadcast. Had George Galloway said anything remotely suggestive of him questioning the official account, it would have pricked my ears. I think I have a full transcript and audio file at home which used to be on my website - but I won't be back for another week or so - I'll post it somewhere if I remember.

The misunderstanding may have occurred because Alex Jones threw a curve ball to George Galloway just as the interview was concluding and (if my memeory serves me well) during the cacophony of the closing music to Alex Jones' programme.

I'm afraid the George Galloway exhibits that he is anything but a 9/11 skeptic at every opportunity.

[Forbin]

Well, given your interest in this area, I'm sure you were listening much more closely than me. Ack, I hate it when my brain lies to me

Its a shame that George doesn't get on board; he'd make an excellent ally. I can only presume that the 9/11 truth movement isn't currently compatible with his agenda.

[kbo234]

Maybe it's me but I couldn't find a link that worked here.
Here's one that does.

He is a brilliant advocate of the 'alternative' view. Could it be that he won't step forward on 9/11 because he calculates that that would mean the end to his media access?

This debate is central to the reason why subjects like 9/11 do not become mainstream.

On the one hand we have in Galloway, an outspoken opponent of Bush, Bliar, the War of Terror, who represents a sizeable Muslim political constituency.

He is obviously intelligent, articulate, outspoken, unafraid of upsetting the status quo, yet like so many public figures will not touch issues like 9/11 with a bargepole.

It is reasonable to suggest that these people see for themselves the truth in such matters and that in George's case a number of his constituents and advisors would too.

Their silence cannot therefore be adduced to ignorance. There must be other reasons for it.

Meacher is a case in point. He was demonised as a "loon" long before 9/11 came along due to his outspoken views on environmental issues. That was enough to make him beyond the political pale, so by identifying with 9/11 he has less to lose than he otherwise would.

It seems to me that the "organised left" is in a complete mess over 9/11 and have reasoned therefore not to have anything to do with it.

However, we all know that they cannot justify this simply by claiming ignorance, because we know that they must now be aware of the body of evidence that speaks against the OCT.

The evidence therefore speaks as loudly to them as it does to us. They just don't repeat it.

Clearly, Respect and the SWP are keen to identify with the Muslim body politic, illegal wars, US imperialism etc., and yet remain apparently disconnected from it's obvious raison d'etre.

Why ?

Is it simply that to identify with the fraud of 9/11 would reduce any political credibility they have ?

Well, in George's case this doesn't seem to make sense.

The logical reaction would be to make political capital out of 9/11, especially in Tower Hamlets for example.

I'm assuming that Respect's wider political ambitions do not, at least in the short term, extend beyond the essential core constituent that they currently attract. So it's difficult to see any blowback from an association with 9/11, on the contrary it would seem to be a prudent tactic.

What better vehicle is there for dismantling "Islamophobia" than arguing our case ?

Maybe it's just too early to take that risk.

There is another angle to this though.

9/11 is a gift horse to the right. Some left leaning commentators have been saying so for some time.

9/11 could and probably does involve Israel if not in it's planning and execution, certainly as a beneficiary.

Problem.

This could be the real issue that 9/11 is beyond the pale for the left. Anti Semitism has been a bread and butter issue for the left and to chew the meat of this bone is antithetical to them.

A more palatable, traditional focus for the left is of course the right, hence Bush, the cute metaphor of "neocons", US imperialism, New Tory Bliarism etc.

Of course, there still remains the possibilty of the gatekeeper scenario, one that has a history, especially on the extreme left.

Does that scenario extend to Mr Galloway ?

[Newspeak International]

Probably,and I do agree with everything you have stated.

9/11 has more than likely been consigned to the dustbin of history,but it has awoken many to the true nature of the PTB.All that's left is the tellers of the truth in everyday life to persuade others.
