A friend wrtes:
| Quote: | You may have seen these two pieces by Alexander Cockburn in latest Monde Diplo:
They will annoy you no doubt but he does raise some crucial arguments, and it's always important to hear what is being said by others outside one's own bubble.
(cf. The Economist's latest hatchet job on organic/local/fair food).

You could try a rebuttal.. |
The first article is about the twin towers as a hollow tube and a putative diesel tank spraying 75 gals a minute onto the main support for WTC7.
The second is aggressively reactionary, accusing us of a distraction from the conspiracies of ordinary capitalism, and everywhere possible either misunderstanding us or misrepresenting us. (not sure which, mostly the former probably).
If it was in French I am sure that French 911 people would have replied. In English I suspect we haven't noticed it. Maybe Andrew Johnson or Ian Henshall or someone could find time to reply.
Presumably this stuff is the official line at CounterPunch (much of which carries valuable material).

Scandalous mis no maybe disinformation about the construction of the Twin Towers, Keith
Always the same reiteration about capitalism from these guys. The left is really gathering the Reaction

Indeed dh indeed.
Maybe they are frustrated that the sheep have abandoned the previous pen for pastures new. Just a thought.

Quote (from Alexander Cockburn's article): ...."The towers were essentially hollow"......
How can anyone get away with putting out this kind of rubbish? I don't really understand the hard left. I used to think of myself as left wing (probably in a Hampstead kind of way) but I don't think I understood the real lefties at all.
Have these people got the same agenda as the globalist bankers?
Are they in cahoots with the globalist bankers?
Are they all trying to direct us towards a global communist nightmare under a single currency-creating cabal? |
