Just a few words that show we need a real investigation.

When news about the Jane Stanley video came out, I was very skeptical, and asked people to be careful with what they promoted. Here is a GOOD example of why we MUST be careful with what we promote because as Dr. Pepper said in Chicago, IF YOU’RE NOT, YOU WILL BE DISCREDITED. - Jon

After the huge response to Richard Porter’s blogs last year about 9/11 Part of the conspiracy? I was very keen to get to the bottom of what exactly happened.

For the latest Conspiracy Files programme, on 9/11 - The Third Tower (Sunday 6 July at 2100 BST on BBC Two), I’ve been looking in detail at allegations that there was a conspiracy to deliberately demolish a third tower at the World Trade Center.

This third skyscraper was never hit by an aeroplane. There is little photographic evidence of extensive damage. Yet seven hours after the Twin Towers collapsed, this 47-storey building collapsed in a few seconds.

Afterwards the thousands of tonnes of steel from the building were taken away to be melted down in the Far East. The official explanation is that this third huge tower at the World Trade Center collapsed because of ordinary fires - but that makes this the first and only skyscraper in the world to have collapsed because of fire. Nearly seven years on the final official report on the building has still not been published. The report is now promised this month.

World Trade Center Building 7 has become the subject of heated speculation and a host of conspiracy theories suggesting it was brought down by a controlled demolition. And some people suggest it was not just the government and foreign intelligence, but the police, the fire service, first responders and even the media that were involved.

It is certainly true that on 9/11 the BBC broadcast that WTC7 had collapsed when it was still standing. Then the satellite transmission seemed to cut out mysteriously when the correspondent was still talking. Then Richard Porter admitted in his blog last year that the BBC had lost those key tapes of BBC World News output from the day.

So is that proof that we at the BBC are part of a huge sinister conspiracy or is there a simpler explanation?

The mystery of the missing tapes didn’t last that long. One very experienced film librarian kindly agreed to have another look for us one night. There are more than a quarter of a million tapes just in the Fast Store basement at Television Centre. The next morning I got a call to say the tapes had been found. They’d just been put back on the wrong shelf - 2002 rather than 2001. Not so sinister after all.

What about the incorrect reporting of the collapse of Tower 7? Having talked to key eyewitnesses who were actually at Ground Zero that day it is clear that, as early as midday, the fire service feared that Tower 7 might collapse. This information then reached reporters on the scene and was eventually picked up by the international media.

The internet movie Loose Change has been viewed by more than 100 million people according to its makers and it asks this question in the latest film release: “Where did CNN and the BBC get their information especially considering the building was still standing directly behind their reporters?”

It turns out that the respected news agency Reuters picked up an incorrect report and passed it on. They have issued this statement:

“On 11 September 2001 Reuters incorrectly reported that one of the buildings at the New York World Trade Center, 7WTC, had collapsed before it actually did. The report was picked up from a local news story and was withdrawn as soon as it emerged that the building had not fallen.”

I put this to the writer and director of Loose Change, Dylan Avery. I asked whether he believed the BBC was part of the conspiracy. Given the question his film had posed about the BBC I was surprised by Dylan’s response: “Of course not, that’s ludicrous. Why would the BBC be part of it?”

He added candidly: “I didn’t really want to put that line in the movie.”

And the reason the interview with the BBC correspondent, Jane Standley, ended so abruptly? The satellite feed had an electronic timer, which cut out at 1715 exactly.

We’ve done our best to tackle many of the other questions raised about Tower 7. I interviewed the lead official investigators, scientists and eyewitnesses who support the official explanation; but also architects, engineers and others who now question that account.

The final report on 9/11 should be with us soon. The official investigators are confident they will be able to solve the final mystery of 9/11. But I doubt they will ever convince their harshest critics, who believe there was a home-grown conspiracy at work that day.

In this country, we have a problem. One of many. Our election process is tainted. We are forced to choose between heads or tails of the same exact coin. Because of electronic voting, it is not guaranteed that who you vote for will actually get your vote. Because the media is controlled, we never hear from candidates that do not represent the 1% of this country. Because campaign reform doesn’t exist, the candidates of the 1% get as much money as they need, making it impossible for anyone to compete. Third Party candidates are not allowed to enter Presidential debates. Very simply, the process that allegedly gives the people the responsibility of choosing who is best to lead this country, does not work.

We belong to the 9/11 Truth Movement. To us, there is no issue more important than 9/11 Truth. In the coming election, there is only one candidate that represents our interests. That person is former Representative Cynthia McKinney.

Over the years, Cynthia has championed this cause moreso than any other elected official. She has held public and Congressional hearings on this very topic in the hopes of educating Americans about what is really going on. She has confronted people like Donald Rumsfeld, and General Richard Myers about this issue. Since trying to get the Green Party nomination for President, she has made sure to mention 9/11 Truth in every interview I have seen her in.

As I said, our election process is tainted. There is no hope that Cynthia McKinney will win the 2008 Presidential Election. None at all. If you vote for Cynthia, it will be a wasted vote. However, if you question the official account of 9/11 AT ALL, then Cynthia McKinney is your candidate. To me, I would rather vote with my mind, and with my heart, than ever consider giving my vote to someone that does not deserve it. Because of this, my vote is going to Cynthia McKinney.

My suggestion to everyone that belongs to this movement or questions the official account of 9/11 AT ALL is as follows:

Vote for Cynthia McKinney, or don’t vote at all. It may be a wasted vote, but the message is clear. We want truth and accountability for the 9/11 attacks, we are not going away, and we are NOT giving our vote to anyone that refuses to do the right thing.

September 13, 2002: Kucinich: Iraq No Threat, Oil a Factor in Push for War
Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), an outspoken critic of the administration’s plan to invade Iraq, says: “There is no imminent threat by Iraq against the United States. Iraq does not have nuclear capabilities that anyone has been able to specifically determine, nor does it have the ability to deliver such a weapon, nor does it have the intent to do so. It could be said by Iraq that they are facing the imminent threat…. Oil is a factor. How much [of a factor] is anybody’s guess, but to discount it as a factor is, I think, to be misleading…. It’s not a conspiracy theory to bring it in because, after all, it is the second largest oil supply in the world.” [CNS News, 9/16/2002]

A decade before 9/11, plans to use aircraft for terror strikes were mooted by ISI-backed Punjab militant group to target India, a former top intelligence official said.

A Babbar Khalsa militant had admitted that he was asked by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to join a flying club and crash his plane on the Bombay High oil platform during a solo flight, former Additional Secretary in the Research and Analyses Wing B Raman said.

“What was new about the 9/11 strikes was the dramatic manner in which this modus operandi was executed for carrying out well-orchestrated attacks on the nerve centres of US power,” Raman said.

In his latest book ‘Terrorism: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow’, Raman warns that mushrooming of airlines, rapid rise in the number of private planes owned by corporates and high-end individuals, coupled with a massive shortage of pilots in India, has made the task of preventing terrorists from using aircraft to carry out attacks “more complex”.

Recommending a comprehensive security vetting procedure for checking the background of foreign pilots before recruitment and monitoring their contacts and activities after recruitment, he said “this trans-national migration of pilots might be exploited by terrorist organisations to have their members qualified as pilots infiltrated into airline companies.”

In the book published by Lancers, he said a Babbar Khalsa terrorist trained by the ISI, was arrested by the Indian authorities in the early 1990s. During interrogation, he said the ISI had asked him to join the Mumbai flying club and crash his plane on the Bombay High oil platform on a solo flight.

India, which has been a victim of a series of hijackings since January 1971, also experienced the June 1985 blowing up of Air India’s Kanishka aircraft by Babbar Khalsa and the 1999 Kandahar hijack.

Referring to the Kandahar hijack of an Indian Airlines plane, Raman said it brought to light serious deficiencies in India’s national security management.

These included the “failure” of intelligence agencies to detect the presence of Harkat-ul Mujahedeen (HuM) hijackers in Mumbai since November 5, 1999, the “failure of the Crisis Management Group” (CMG) to ground the plane in Amritsar, the delay in starting negotiations at Kandahar and the “total lack of coherence and professionalism in the handling of the crisis by CMG at the political and professional level.”

This was the first hijack of an Indian aircraft by a Pakistan-based terror outfit which is a member of Osama bin Laden’s International Islamic Front.

It was carried out by the second largest terrorist team of five hijackers in the world, the first being seven Palestinians who hijacked an Air France flight to Entebbe in 1976.

He said the Kandahar hijack was the sixth major one since 1948 in which the targeted government conceded the demands of the hijackers. It was the first hijacking in India in which the terrorists “intentionally and brutally” killed one of the passengers to intimidate the pilot.

Raman also noted an “explosive increase” in the number of hijacks worldwide with 38 in 1968 followed by 82 the next year. One reason for this was the CIA-inspired hijackings to destabilise the Fidel Castro government that had taken over in Cuba in January 1959, he said.

Over the last several months, certain “inconsequential people” have been bothering, and harassing John Feal because of his associations with this movement. They have pushed him to the point of saying things he doesn’t necessarily mean. I have asked John for this clarification so there is no confusion as to where he stands. - Jon

To the 9/11 Truth Movement:

Let me start by saying thank you for the years of support, compassion and dedication for the 9/11 responders you have helped. With that being said, you have heard me say “I am not a truther,” and I’m not. However, that does not mean I do not support the truth movement. To be a truther, I would have to be involved and committed 100% like I am in running my foundation which helps yesterday’s heroes.

I have seen your cause grow immensely and you have gathered an army of great Americans who now share your beliefs. That deserves a big congratulations. I, however, have my reservations at this time to share my views any more then I already have. But, if you look at my track record, in interviews with Luke or Dylan, you will see my subtle hints. So yes, I strongly believe, as Jon Gold says, that elements within our government and the current administration are suspects for the crime of 9/11. Did they lie? Oh yes, I believe that 100%. There are sick and dying men and woman to prove that. My energies are focused and spent on aiding these brave souls.

We all seek the truth, and we all seek what is best for this country. However, we take different paths in searching and fighting for that common goal. I have publicly called out many elected officials on my terms, and have marched to my own beat. I have earned that right to do so. I lost half a foot, and spent 11 weeks in a hospital bed. So, they way I go about bringing out the truth, or disseminating information may not be the way others do, or the way you wish I did. But I will continue to do so, like you all continue to go about your course of actions.

Whether we agree or disagree, that is totally irrelevant. As with any relationship, we must learn that we will not all agree on everything, and in order for that relationship too last, we must learn that the closest thing to a perfect relationship, even with our disagreements, is to respect one another.

When there are masses like this in the mass tort case against the City, there will always be a few that stain the legitimacy of those that are severely sick and ill from their heroic action at ground zero following the horrific events from 9/11/01. Do not believe for one second that many brave souls, men and woman, are not sick because of the toxic cloud they worked under, and do not believe for one second that they are not sick because of the lies told by our City, State and Federal Government about the air quality.

I have lived 9/11 everyday since 9/11. Seeing first hand healthy men and woman get sicker and sicker, and have sadly seen some die. For those who have lied about their role in history is disappointing, but for thosethat have seen history lie to them, I stand by you all and give you my 100% support. - John Feal, 9/11 First Responder And Founder Of The FealGood Foundation
