"After a
long absence, it's definitely time that this website was updated.
Do I
have an excuse for having done nothing to it at all for more than two
months? Probably not, but I've been trying to get my life in order,
though some would argue it's still as dis-ordered as ever.
9/11
Conference in San Francisco
I
attended the 9/11
Inquiry (Phase 1) which was held in San Francisco on 26th -
28th March. I hadn't made mention of my intentions to go on this
website, because I wanted to ensure that I would get into the US. IP
logs for users accessing this website showed that it was being
scrutinised by elements of the US Government and others, so I figured
it wouldn't do to advertise the fact that I was going. I managed to
slip in under the radar, so to speak. The only trouble I had on the
way out at Heathrow was that the microphone for my digital camcorder
looked odd on the X-ray machine, so they wanted to go through my hand
luggage. Of course, the staff were very friendly about it.
Incidentally,
the quality of airline food seems to have slipped further. For those
without specific dietary requirements, the choice of meal was either
beef stew or `bangers and mash', served in the requisite TV-dinner
microwave plastic tub. I'm sure I remember a time when the food looked
like a miniature version of something you might have got in a
restaurant, complete with a proper plate and cutlery. Today we're not
even trusted with a metal fork, in case someone gets the wrong idea
about the pilot's aversion to someone waving cutlery at him.
There is
much to report from the conference in San Francisco, and yet in a way,
most of it is already out there. Some of you reading this website will
be aware of the material which was discussed at the event, even
without knowing who the speakers were.
Whilst
the official hearings for the 9/11
Commission were taking place on the US east coast, discussing the
issue of possible fore-knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, our own
Inquiry on the west coast was discussing evidence which exposed the
lie that is the continuing 9/11 cover-up and official story.
For me,
the conference was primarily a chance to network with others, to make
contacts and get to know some other people involved in what might be
called the `Underground Truth Movement', underground because there
doesn't seem to be much mainstream coverage that would even make us
look silly, never mind give us authority and credibility.
For
example, Ted Gunderson, the
former Senior Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles FBI Field
Office attended the event and I was able to spend some time talking to
him. Ted was one of the many individuals who have been trying to
present information to the public about 9/11 and other nefarious
activities, but have been ignored by the big media organisations.
Ellen
Mariani and her lawyer, Phil Berg, also made highly respectable
and moving arguments for a full investigation into 9/11.
Others
who were present included
Daniel
Hopsicker, author of `Barry and the Boys' and `Welcome to
Terrorland: Mohammed Atta And The 9-11 Cover-Up In Florida'
Michael Ruppert
Kris Millegan,
editor of `Fleshing Out Skull And Bones' Webster
Tarpley, co-author of the Unauthorised
Biography of George HW Bush
Eric Hufschmid, author of
`Painful Questions' and producer of the video `Painful Deceptions'
Anthony Hilder
Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed,
author of `The
War on Freedom: How and Why America was Attacked' and `Behind The
War Ib Terror: Western Secret Strategy and the Struggle for Iraq'
Jim Marrs, author of `The War On
Freedom: The 9-11 Conspiracies', `Rule By Secrecy', `Alien Agenda',
and `Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy'
Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone
There
were more people present, but I can't think of them for the moment. As
Bush recently said at one of his press conferences, when asked an
unscripted question, `maybe
something will pop into my head'.
I got a
lot of video footage from San Francisco and I'm trying to decide how
best to use it. I'll post some excerpts on the website, an if I
receive positive feedback from it I'll post some more clips. I have
footage of the majority of the people listed above. If you have a
particular preference, drop me an email.
Phase
II of the Inquiry happens at the end of May in Toronto.
Unfortunately my financial circumstances mean that I can't afford to
go. Not unless some kind and rich benefactor wants to help me out. If
you have a thousand bucks or so spare, and would like to throw it in
my direction, please use the `Support Us' link at the top of the page.
The
Beheading of Nick Berg
This
sickening episode has understandably been setting the news agenda for
the past week. The video clip can be found here.
Be warned that it is extremely graphic. More analysis of the Nick Berg
affair can be found at PrisonPlanet.tv.
Of
course, the news dominating the previous couple of week's headlines
was the torture photos purporting to show American and British troops
abusing and torturing Iraqi prisoners.
The
pressure in the UK on the the Daily Mirror, in the face of growing
accusations that the British photos were fakes, led Friday to the
resignation of the Mirror's editor, Piers Morgan. In the US, however,
it seems to be acknowledged that the `American' photos are genuine,
but the Pentagon is saddling up to pin the whole affair on the CIA.
Both
public news stories and other sources indicate that a show-trial is
being set up in Baghdad for the very public court-martial of Lindy
England and others. There would not be a media circus around the
proceedings unless the Pentagon was sure that it would not have egg on
its face as a result.
Film-making
Over the
last couple of weeks, I've been out and about with a camera-man and
sound man filming in London. We filmed the May Day rally, which was
really nothing more than a Communist Party Rally, including a
contingent from the Iranian Communist Party. Nice to know that the
reds are still up to their old tricks. We also went to see who was
around Grosvenor Square, outside the American Embassy. We weren't
filming there for long when we were stopped and questioned by three
armed police officers.
Last
Saturday we were stopped and searched in Parliament Square, outside
the Houses of Parliament. It seems that a 3-man film crew, who the
police agreed was doing nothing wrong, warranted invasive police
action, whereas 20 rollerbladers and skateboarders, causing an
obstruction and criminal damage, warranted no intervention whatsoever.
On this occasion, there were five members of the Metropolitan Police
present - three proper officers and two Police Community Support
Officers.
However,
on neither occasion could they provide any basis upon which I had to
provide them with my genuine details, and stated that they have the
authority to stop and question us under the Terrorism Act.
We also
discovered that whilst tourists can film with their own camcorders in
Trafalgar Square to their heart's content, a professional crew (or at
least one that looks professional with a full size broadcast quality
camera) must ask for permission from the Mayor's office because it has
now been designated a `Heritage Site'.
Some of the
footage from this activity will also be posted on this site in the
coming days. Expect some regular updates as I try to bring the site
back up to date. So much has happened over the last couple of months
whilst this site has been neglected." -
