I watched my DVD "9/11 Press For Truth" recently. In fact I've watched it three times in a week, and the information in that DVD is still astonishing even now. For those who have not seen it I highly recommend it, particularly those who are seeking an inquiry into the events of 7th July 2005 (and there are a lot of us all doing our bit).
9/11 Press For Truth documents the efforts of four women later named The Jersey Girls who became widows on 9/11. They shamed The White House into an inquiry into 9/11. You see, for some reason unknown to us (its bleedin' obvious really), The White House was very happy to use the events of 9/11 for war on Iraq and Afghanistan (and they are still there six years after) and an incredible expansion of powers of surveillance and arrest, but at the same time did not want an inquiry into how it happened so that further such events could be prevented and incompetence or complicity could be dealt with.
Sound familiar?
And when The White House were shamed into an inquiry they had to choose one of the most untrusted, hated and despised men on the planet to chair it. The Jersey Girls got Henry "Mr New World Order" Kissinger removed from chairing the inquiry.
Due to the efforts of the Jersey Girls an inquiry of some sort did take place, but it was heavily controlled, with access to documents and witnesses severely restricted. Even Bush and Cheney were questioned but together and behind closed doors, and they even had to hold hands under the desk so they could get their stories straight!
Another focus of 9/11 Press For Truth is Paul Thompson who documented all reports from around the world connected to 9/11. Thompson exposed the Pakistan link. The US Military let bin Laden escape. Why?
Well, it's six years since we invaded Iraq. We were told Iraq was involved in 9/11 and had WMDs aimed at our backyard barbecues and the proof for this was indisputable. Guess what? IT WAS ALL BOLLOCKS! But the invasion of Iraq did satisfy a key aim of two documents published by the same group of neocons years earlier, Rebuilding America's Defenses and A Clean Break.
After 9/11 torture and rendition were used and attempts were made to make this publicly acceptable.
Following 9/11 Tony Blair and his neocon-friendly cabinet wanted and began to implement a series of intrusive laws all designed to stop terrorism; ID cards, national database, 90 day detention, etc.
But there was strong resistance to this Police State apparatus.
There was also growing criticism of Blair for invading Iraq and other failures and abuses of power.
But all that changed on 7/7.
Tony Blair, after failing spectacularly in the role of Middle East Peace Envoy, is now being proposed as President of the EU and also works for the bank at the heart of the current financial crisis, J P Morgan Chase.
I bought my copy of 9/11 Press for Truth from, would you believe, HMV.
I did not have eggs after watching it.
It's a strange world. Who knows what an inquiry into 7/7 would reveal. It really makes you wonder why there has not been an inquiry into the largest terrorist attack on the British mainland when that attack was shamelessly used to introduce more Police State laws.
