Clearing the air with the truth
11 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
by Juan Gonzalez
After nearly five years of lies from top city and federal officials about the health dangers from the toxic dust released by the World Trade Center collapse, the truth has finally begun to emerge.
Back on Oct. 26, 2001, in a Daily News front-page story headlined "A Toxic Nightmare at Disaster Site," I reported that hundreds of tests conducted by the federal Environmental Protection Agency revealed far more elevated levels of toxic pollutants in the air and dust in (...) -
62,006 - the number killed in the ’war on terror’
11 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsby David Randall and Emily Gosden
The "war on terror" - and by terrorists - has directly killed a minimum of 62,006 people, created 4.5 million refugees and cost the US more than the sum needed to pay off the debts of every poor nation on earth.
If estimates of other, unquantified, deaths - of insurgents, the Iraq military during the 2003 invasion, those not recorded individually by Western media, and those dying from wounds - are included, then the toll could reach as high as 180,000. (...) -
9/11 - The Emergency # that’s Turned into an Obsession
10 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
Those who voluntarily put power into the hands of a tyrant or an enemy must not wonder if it be at last turned against them.
Aesop
If the events of 9/11 were the result of a natural catastrophe, the country would’ve rebuilt and continued, largely unreflectively, pursuing the American Dream. But the indignity of an assault on American soil has since become a national obsession, a thriving cottage industry for wild speculators, professors seeking fame, authors eager for a best seller, (...) -
The Path to 9/11 was paved by the Bushes: FBI ‘was told to back off bin Laden family’
10 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentBy now everyone has heard about the new docudrama being run on ABC “The Path to 9/11″ which illustrates how Clinton’s failures led to the tragic terrorists attacks in 2001.
This is the first Hollywood production I’ve seen that honestly depicts how the Clinton administration repeatedly bungled the capture of Osama Bin Laden. One astonishing sequence in “The Path to 9/11″ shows the CIA and the Northern Alliance surrounding Bin Laden’s house in Afghanistan. They’re on the verge of (...) -
Latest bin Laden tape: Does it bash conspiracy theories?
10 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
5 commentsThe first thought that came to mind when the recent, Aljazeera-released tape of bin Laden (talking to 9/11 planners?) was aired, was: Is this a scam by the Bush administration coming at a convenient date (just prior to the 9/11 anniversary)?..or is it an attempt by al Qaeda to throw bin Laden in Bush’s "wanted dead or alive" face?
I still can’t figure it out.
On Keith Olbermann’s "Countdown" show on MSNBC TV (USA),someone suggested the tape was a fake and a fraud, manufactured by the (...) -

Time magazine, the flagship corporate-government mouthpiece, has always been good primarily for one thing—to let us know what Big Brother is thinking, and by the same token, to tell us what we should think. (If you have to ask who Big Brother is, see below.)

9 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
By Michel Chossudovsky September 9, 2006
This article was originally published on the 9th of September 2003. Five years ago, on the 9th of September 2001, the leader of the Northern Alliance Commander Ahmad Shah Masood was mortally wounded in a kamikaze assassination.
It happened two days before the 9/11 attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon. Masood died from wounds suffered in the suicide attack on the Saturday (9/15) following 9/11.
In the wake of the September 11 attacks, the (...) -
’Forever’...and overwhelming thought
8 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
Turn on the TV at any hour. What do you see and hear? TERROR. Warnings, war footage, bombings, alerts, plots, strange "items" in boxes, bags and backpacks (which prove harmless), documentaries about bin Laden or Islam or the Taliban, or movies about terrorists blowing something...or some ONE, up!
If you live in America, this is athe standard diet. And every evening on the CBS, ABC or NBC news the lead story is almost always about the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, or occasionally about our (...) -
