<br />
Motive: Factions of the US government and the Foreign Relations Council wanted a reason to begin airstrikes in Syria because of the money to be made in Arms sales, plundered Syrian resources and geo-strategical reasons. I'm not saying ISIS doesn't exists but they weren't posing enough of a direct threat to the US for the US public to support an expensive military operation with the inevitable deaths of innocent Syrian civilians. Public support could only be afforded by an outrage of a brutal murder of a US citizen and a high profile, emotional media campaign to go with it.<br />
<br />
I have watched the Foley beheading video on youtube. Believe me, I would not have if I doubted it was fake. I am a squeamish and emotional person. If you saw any of the photos coming from Syria and Gaza the last year, they had me sobbing and unable to sleep properly at night.<br />
Sure enough, the video produced no emotional reaction in me whatsoever. You would have thought that a man, even if resigned to the fact of his own death, would show some physical tension and distress moments before a brutal decapitation of this nature; some resistance, a few beads of sweat on his forehead perhaps. You would have thought, after the knife had cut into his throat he would have released some cry even if involuntarily. Other youtubers said in comments they had seen videos of real beheadings uploaded from the Middle East (Wtf? Grim, I know I could never) and a hideous, gutteral sound is produced by the victim as the knife slices through the flesh and hits the trachea, esophagus and vocal fold within.<br />
The knife goes across his neck six times before the video fades out. There was not a drop of blood, no cry, no heaving or twisting of the body. The victim seemed completely calm and unphased.<br />
Even the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/11054488/Foley-murder-video-may-have-been-staged.html">Telegraph</a> reported that the video was probably faked and that Foley was probably shot off camera and the video made for propaganda purposes.<br />
<br />
I have to ask why the most brutal and bloody thirsty regime of modern times would decide to shoot Foley instead and release such a pathetically unconvincing video? So as not to offend a Western audience? Please.<br />
<br />
Now here is the next thing. The USA amended the Schmit- Mundt Act of 1932 to make it legal to produce completely false news for domestic and foreign audiences. Also a recent report in The Examiner describes how <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/fox-news-mogul-rupert-murdoch-owns-oil-company-poised-to-drill-syria">Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch owns an Oil company poised to drill in Syria.</a><br />

So where is James Foley if he is not dead you may ask. I don't know. Maybe he has been giving a new identity and is living in Israel or Saudi Arabia or an army base until people forget what he looks like. Maybe he didn't exist in the first place. Far fetched as it may seem, I find it easier to believe than the video of his execution or his sibling's supposed grief. Considering the amount of resources and money in arms sales at stake for the West's elite and the evidence above, I think it the more likely of scenarios than a mass-murdering ISIS executioner getting a bit squeamish about getting blood on his nice new boots. </div>

<br />
1. Raw phone footage from outside the Bataclan. 2.58<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MiyMWLPjkGg/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MiyMWLPjkGg?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiyMWLPjkGg"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiyMWLPjkGg </a>The fear, distress and injury seems very genuine in this footage and has me doubting the staged drill theory. I found it quite harrowing. Yet why does the photographer stay so close to film what's going on? Who is the shooter that comes out of the building. ISIS or French? There appears to be someone on other side of the door. Pay attention to the railings.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Shoot out outside Bataclan 1.00<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-MpTLcwGfkg/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-MpTLcwGfkg?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MpTLcwGfkg<br />
The railings on the right here, are they permanent pavement fixtures or the same as the ones outside the Bataclan, which you assume are for queue control but could they have been to close the street off for a foreseen drill/exercise? Why does the French special forces man have no helmet? I thought the shooters stayed inside the venue. Why are they shooting down the street?<br />
<br />
3.Daniel Psenny footage Bataclan 2.46<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LSAFcnryoEw/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LSAFcnryoEw?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSAFcnryoEw<br />
The pregnant woman hanging out the window. takes one hand away and leans back to look below her. Perhaps she was worried the gunmen were below her but even if her feet were supported by bars, it seems an unusual action for someone who is clinging on for dear life. At the moment she is lifted back into the building, Daniel Psenny moves his camera off her. As a journalist, you would think this is a moment he'd want to capture, why does he point the camera back at the bodies on the ground?<br />
<br />
4.Outside Le Bonne Biere (near Casa Nostra)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/g5AciTjZcHY/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g5AciTjZcHY?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
This is meant to be seconds after the attack yet their are already men with nightsticks on the scene and no sirens or flashing emergency vehicles. The man trying to stop the photographer from filming is in plain clothes- jeans and a jacket.<br />
<br />
5. General report about ISIS video threats and with footage from Hebdo attacks too but a few seconds looks very much like Canal St Martin (green bit in the middle/bare trees in November ) near Casa Nostra where November 13th shootings took place. At 0.38 secs a young woman appears laughing and smiling as loading a friend onto ambulance. But then why is it daylight when the Nov 13th Attack took place between 9pm and 10pm? It does not get light until 7 or 8 am so it cannot have taken all night? Unless this footage is from the drill earlier in the day?<br />

Youtubers Peekay and HowISeeit have claimed that the woman who runs through the door and dives behind the counter is an 'Operative' and throws a firecracker through the window before entering. Peekay even says their is no glass in the window. However, it looks more like to me that the window is not shattered before the shot and then it is. So are you telling me that a firecracker can make a bullet-like hole in the window? I've no experience with guns - do bullets hitting a surface can sure make a puff of smoke, or dust/plaster also? Is it possible the flick of the woman's wrist is her trying to open the door but withdrawing her hand as another bullet hits the window and a splinter of glass hits her wrist. She grabs the pole to go downstairs to the cellar but is it possible the injury is not that painful after the initial impact and physical boundaries can be stretched and pain forgotten when adrenaline is pumping through the body? Saying this the gun jam incident does look odd. It is possible the shattered glass photoshopped? Also when the terrorist runs off he does not run in the direction of the terrorist's car to the left of him, he seems to disappear into thin air! Is it possible it has been digitally manipulated?<br />

I don’t have a lot of time to
exhaustively research a subject before passing comment anymore but<br />
I know that as another war is waged in the middle east by Western
powers, it certainly has little to do with protecting human life and liberty
and everything to do with geo-political strategy; control of the region and its
resources, the arms trade and further heightening the fear of terrorism at home
to justify increasing infringement of our rights and privacy.</div>

I approve of the scathing biography of David Cameron and appreciate the poetic delivery.The narration could do with sounding less like a Grimm’s fairytale dripping with relish at severed heads on spikes but that’s down to my personal taste. There is something vitally important I query about the facts: Many commentators and dissenting voices, such as Williams', are saying that ISIS, or IS (Islamic State) is the inevitable spawn of anger towards the West and its military campaigns, atrocities and war crimes. Although this may be partly true because Al-queada and IS (that has being been called an offshoot of Al-queada by some media outlets) have taken on a life of their own in an ongoing cycle of provocation, it is omitting the likely probability that they are the desired outcome of the original creations by Western 'intelligence agencies (CIA, MOSSAD, MI6). I want to have a quick look at the evidence for this.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
IS has
certainly received much of it’s wealth through Western allies such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia. This has been documented in the mainstream media. Now the Arab allies are helping USA to defeat them?</div>

There are also reports that they were trained by the USA. That they were trained to fight Assad and not intended to become part of an extremist group like ISIS, one report says. I ask, why all the money then?<br />

could not be true. Cook died on a mountain top in 2005, whether it was a natural death or not,
it was convenient to the wars' champions and profiteers that he was silenced.<br />

The mythical Weapons of Mass Destruction were the
justification for the next war in Iraq which began in 2003. Let’s remember what happened to Dr Richard
Kelly who suggested that the infamous WMD dossier was ‘sexed up’ to provide
grounds for Blair’s war in Iraq. Again, whether or not you believe he was
murdered or committed suicide, it was convenient for the war's profiteers that he was silenced. <o:p></o:p><br />

Today, IS is the justification for war and the media
has been feeding us the ‘proof’ of their barbarity and the need for
intervention by reporting the beheadings of US journalist James Foley and British aid worker, David Haines. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have watched the "beheadings" and I don't believe them to be real (otherwise I could not have begun to view the videos. The idea of watching a real one is abhorrent to me.) The
knife ‘cuts’ across their neck at least six times and in both cases, there is not a drop of blood. There would be a lot of blood even from a shallow incision on the jugular, especially with an accelerated heartbeat. There are just so many things about the videos, including the calm recital of the script given to them by ISIS, the lack of any physical flinching from the victim, and the families' reactions which are very unconvincing. You can find endless youtube videos of analysis. Later the Telegraph reported the James Foley video was 'possibly staged' but that an
execution took place at some point.<br />
<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/bill-gardner/11054488/Foley-murder-video-may-have-been-staged.html">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/bill-gardner/11054488/Foley-murder-video-may-have-been-staged.html</a><br />
<br />
How is this not relevant? I mean, leaping lizards, how is that not of
interest?<br />
Certainly, horrible executions have taken place all over; in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Syria, in Libya, in Saudi Arabia at the hands of their government. But for some reason ISIS chooses to release videos of fake ones? Why? Where are the brutal nutty jihadists when you need them to make a video to provoke the USA and Britian into bombing them? The executions of an American and a Briton by IS provide the reaction for less resistance to a war with Syria. Whose hands does that play into?<br />

Let’s also have a look at James Foley’s family’s reaction. It is interesting. As one facebook user commented: "I have never seen a woman so radiant and
refreshed." Compare Foley's sister with this chilling expression of Dianne Downs on this TED talk
about how to spot a liar. Dianne Downs shot her children and then drove them to the hospital claiming a 'straggly haired stranger' burst into her home. We see a calm recollection of events followed by a 'leaking' of ‘duping delight’' -the urge to smile because you are fooling someone, like when a kid tells a fib and cannot suppress a grin..but obviously much more evil in this case.<br />
<br />

<br />
James Foley's sister has almost an identical expression to Diane Downs and both siblings have ill-disguised 'duping delight' throughout. Also note the brother's vigorous rubbing of his eyelid to try get some moisture into the brother's dry eye and the picture
falling off the wall as though the set had just been rigged up in five
minutes! I mean, do you think this is how your family members would react if you died. Even if you did a high risk job where they felt your death was a matter of time? Do you imagine your siblings would be grinning after your 'gruesome beheading' went viral on the internet?</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">US air strikes hit grain silos and killed civilians, including 16 children last night. The words of Zbigniew Brzezinski will ring in my ears as I pray for peace tonight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"The idea was to create a few stirred up Muslims."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Zbigniew Brzezinski is on the Council of Foreign Relations and an adviser to Obama. For those who know a little more about shadow government, he is also David Rockefella's partner on the Trilateral commission. Recalling a longer quote from his book, 'The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives,' (basically an instruction manual to invasion of the Middle East and what we have witnessed over the last thirty years:)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: #ffffee;">"It is also a fact that America is </span><span style="background-color: #ffffee;">too democratic at home</span><span style="background-color: #ffffee;"> to be autocratic abroad.

I don’t have a lot of time. I like reading Thomas the Tank Engine and blowing raspberries on my kid's tummy. But I'm not a fucking moron and I don't support the ongoing terrorism and duping delight of our governments.<br />

Should it be with the flimsiness of the debunking? Or with the pseudo-science? Or with the choice of participants and experts? Or the content and editing aimed at manipulating the audience? All these aspects seemed so obvious. During and after the programme, comments flowed thick and fast online.

Maxwell's own views about 9/11 are not open to change, which is hypocritical since his whole mission is to convert and indoctrinate these discerning, young people to his own infallible way of thinking. We get the impression this whole reality TV ordeal is a drag for him and he just wishes they’d all shut up about this '9/11 crap' which he compares to believing in Santa Claus. </span></span></span></div>

That's a cheap shot aimed at guilt-tripping viewers to side with him. Surely it’s because there was so much suffering that so many people think 9/11 needs to be explained properly. Maxwell can't understand how ‘his guys’ could believe the American government could ever allow 9/11 to happen its own citizens. </span></span></span></div>

Andrew takes them to meet a United Airways pilot called Buck Rogers. Buck says; 'Before 9/11, many airports didn't have metal detectors, and way before 9/11 sometimes people didn't have to walk through the metal detectors to get on the plane.' The metal detectors that weren't there, right? The inconsistency of this statement could be overlooked, for fear of sounding too pedantic but Buck also says that it was common to fly with the cockpit door open before 9/11. Of course, the BBC wouldn't want to mention Pilots for 9/11 Truth in their hit-piece; they are an organization founded in 2006 consisting of a growing number of aviation professionals who have analysed Data provided by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for the Pentagon Attack, the events in Shanksville, PA and the World Trade Centre attack. The data does not support the government story. The Pentagon and the NTSB/FBI refuse to comment.

I am aware of this situation since I work in IT and had to work with many others that weekend to ensure that all systems were cleanly shutdown beforehand ... and then brough[t] back up afterwards. The reason given by the WTC for the power down was that cabling in the tower was being upgraded ... Of course without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors and many, many 'engineers' coming in and out of the tower. I was at home on the morning of 9/11 on the shore of Jersey City, right opposite the Towers, and watching events unfold I was convinced immediately that something was happening related to the weekend work ..."

Charlie wants to know why the section of tower under the plane impact collapsed, instead of the upper section falling away after it began tilting to one side, apparently. Using the Lego, the expert describes how, as soon as the upper section began to tilt, the unstable weight would have compressed the floors beneath, thus causing the collapse. Charlotte raises the issue of the burning temperature of jet fuel; it's not hot enough to melt the steel core columns. 'Oh, it wouldn't need to,' says Blanchard. This is a remarkably strange response since the official explanation of how the towers collapsed is the <b>pancake theory,</b> in which the heat from the burning jet fuel weakened the steel causing trusses to snap and the floors to fall on top of one another. Astonishingly, Blanchard has just categorically stated that the heat from the burning jet fuel had nothing to do with the collapse of the twin towers. Other structural engineers have said that if a pancake collapse <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">had</i> occurred there would have been a pile up of floors at the bottom, not a fountain of phenomenal energy, jettisoning out steel beams and a cloud of pulverised concrete.</span></span></span></div>

His were: 'Now I've spoken to a guy who's explained why it happened and it all makes sense.' Incredible. A lot has been said about Charlie Veitch since the programme was filmed and there are many theories now circulating about him.

Rodney says there have been scientific papers published about the presence of thermite at ground zero and that this powerful substance was used to bring the towers down. He and Charlotte speak to another 'expert' about this. He shows them pictures of such material in said scientific papers. The expert also says: 'There's no way to structurally explain the free-fall than some form of controlled demolition device. Why weren't those questions asked?' But then it quickly cuts away to the thermite demonstration supervised by a 'thermite expert' from the University of California. A loose pile of thermite is placed on a steel beam and ignited. It burns brightly and hotly but has little effect on the steel. I’m no expert but I’ve seen plenty of demonstrations on video of thermite cutting through steel. Many from BBC's own Brainiac: Science Abuse programme for kids. If thermite burns at above 2000c and doesn't affect the steel here, how would jet fuel which burns at 1000c, have affected the steel beams in the towers, which had a melting point of 1500c. But of course, that theory no longer applies anyway, as Blanchard demonstrated with his Lego towers. I’m not saying I think the towers were necessarily brought down by thermite/thermate, I just hate shoddy argument.</span></span></span></div>

In a while, when they go to Pennsylvania, we will be told by another expert that human beings explode like water balloons when hitting the ground, and that’s why there were no bodies at Shanksville. Kilscheimer shows us an animation of a passenger airplane going through the Pentagon. He explains how whilst travelling through three wings of the Pentagon, the plane disintegrated, (leaving body parts in recognisable stewardess attire.) The small hole in the other side of the building can easily be explained, says Andrew, because it’s where the tail remnants of the plane came out. Hmm, Kilscheimer just said ‘you’ve got to understand how explosions work’ to understand why the hole is small and round. So was the hole made by an explosion or the tail section of the disintegrating plane that was left inside? Never mind gut feeling; show me some science that makes sense. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Crater at Shanksville.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here we are presented with the craziest science yet. Greg Feith, former American Air Safety Investigator with the NTSB tells us that when Flight 93 hit the ground, the nose stopped but the rest of the plane still had so much energy that it collapsed into itself but by then it was 40 feet underground so the earth fell in on top of it and it was buried. That's why the crater was so shallow. But the black box was recovered almost immediately. We’re also told that on high speed impact, human bodies will explode like water balloons, like they didn’t in the Pentagon where Alan Kilscheimer saw deceased stewardesses. Feith then has the five doubters dropping stones into piles of flour; the stone, representing the plane; the flour, the ground. They are also given eggs to throw on the ground to see how something can shatter into tiny fragments. Then water balloons to demonstrate how debris can scatter over a large area. Hang on, Greg - you've lost me. I only have a GCSE in Physics but a hard stone hitting a loose pile of soft flour just seems a little different from an egg hitting the hard ground. Which is the plane? The stone, the egg or the water balloon? Which is the ground? Soft, loose flour or hard concrete? What happened to the plane, Greg? Did it get buried, did it shatter into tiny pieces, did it get scattered for miles, or are you talking total bullshit? </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">3000 deaths, hundreds of thousands more in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Feith’s trying to justify it all with an egg? At least Charlie seems happy with this explanation, messing about with a model of a Boeing 757 when back on the bus, ignoring Rodney, the science graduate.

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next Andrew wants to prove the existence of Flight 93 by taking them to meet Mark Bingham’s mother, Alice Hoglan who received a call from her son who was on board Flight 93 when it was hijacked, according to the official story.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Shazin has chosen as her most definitive and irrefutable opposition to the official story, the theory that the phone calls were faked. How about Building 7? The missing 2.3 trillion? The mysterious deaths of 9/11 witnesses over the last ten years? Nope. It’s got to be the fake phone calls. Oh well. I expect this is down to the BBC's editing, those other questions may well have been asked over the course of the week.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Charlotte points out that during the phone call to his mother, Mark Bingham didn’t answer any direct questions but repeated what he had said first. This suggests that his voice could have been recorded previously, morphed and ‘played’ to his mother. This is how the conversation went.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">M.B: “Hi Mom this is Mark Bingham. I want you to know that I love you. There’s three men that say they have a bomb.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">A.H: “Well, who are they, Mark?”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">He repeated that he loved her and then the phone went dead. She phoned his cell back twice and left two messages. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Dr George Patterson(?) an inventor of voice morphing technology, takes a recording of Shazin’s voice. Her own words are; ‘I think everyone wants to be optimistic..’ and with his software he makes her say: ‘I think everyone wants to disappear and vanish.’ It is very convincing; it sounds exactly like her. However, Patterson thinks it would be too impractical to do in live time. Rodney says it could be done on a soundboard. I don’t know what that is but looking back at what Charlotte said, if Mark Bingham didn’t answer any questions and the conversation was one way, it could have been recorded and manipulated previously. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What follows is an emotional and touching meeting with Alice Hoglan. She tells the group that she subsequently heard the cockpit recording (from the recovered black box presumably.) She heard people running and someone shouting: ‘In the cockpit! In the cockpit!’ and that’s it. For Andrew, the aim of meeting her is to convince the rest of the group that she believes she was talking to her son. Afterwards, reasonable-nice-chap Andrew escorts Alice back to her car, whilst Baader-meinhoff nanny Charlotte and Mum-hater Rodney are still not convinced. Rodney says he has no doubt that she believes she spoke to her son, but that it's still a possibility the phone call was faked. The technology is there, he says. It is a convenient ending for Andrew and the BBC. It’s obviously trying to ‘break’ the contestants with emotion and guilt, intending to make any who still think there was more to 9/11 than the official story, feel bad about doing so. Next we cut to an argument on the bus where Emily says Charlotte has a heart of stone, and I guess it’s edited like his because the audience is supposed to agree with her. (Emily later said they made up swiftly but this was cut.) </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">A reason why the BBC chose such young participants is that they anticipated they would be susceptible to this kind of crude manipulation and bias persuasion, and therefore ‘break’ easily. There was no Richard Gage or Judy Wood to the themite expert. No David Ray Griffin to the Alan Kilscheimer. No Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth to the Brent Blanchard. I could go on. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The BBC is saying: ‘If you think there was a US government or Mossad conspiracy behind 9/11, you don’t care about the victims.’ It’s reminds me of 1984 and double think: </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">As the group convalesce and reflect on all they've experienced at the Pentagon Memorial, Andrew reviews which ones he has managed to 'crack.' With Charlotte and Rodney, he has failed. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Emily looks quite exhausted and is on the fence. Shazin says she's the 'least conspiratorial,' which is not what she means but we know what she means because we're all used to this new language by now, that the BBC and the government have invented for 9/11 and the War on Terror. Charlie has gone from being a high profile 'Truther' to dismissing everything he thought before as propaganda. In just one week. Hmm. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">At least they can all agree on one thing, laments Andrew, that 9/11 was a tragedy. I think they knew that already but thanks, Andrew, without your guidance and this ridiculous programme, I may not have realised. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">No doubt, I haven’t debunked all of the debunking in the programme as thoroughly as I might have with the information now available, but I will add this: The ‘theory’ that the official report is not the be all and end all of 9/11, is not a linear argument that breaks when one piece of supporting information doesn't fit. The many questions that need to be answered have multiple strands with supporting evidence, and if one falls away, the whole thing does not break, or disintegrate, like planes. If it does, the same should be true of the official story.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I’m still not sure if it was worth tackling this programme but I hope I’ve highlighted some of the holes in the arguments in a more consistent way than they were presented to us. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thanks for reading.</span></span></div>

<span closure_uid_jinrjy="61" style="font-size: large;">The opening paragraph of Robert Fisk's article, <strong>'The Lies we still tell ourselves about 9/11'</strong>, published in Saturday's Independent: </span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="85">

<em closure_uid_vurnr3="409"><span style="font-size: large;">"By their books, ye shall know them. I'm talking about the volumes, the libraries, nay- the very halls of literature- which the international crimes against humanity of 11 September 2001 have spawned. Many are spavined with pseudo-patriotism and self-regard, others rotten with the hopeless mythology of CIA/Mossad culprits, a few (from the Muslim world, alas) even referring to the killers as "boys", almost all avoiding the one thing which any cop looks for after a street crime: the motive."</span></em></div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="80">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="80">
<span style="font-size: large;">He goes on to highlight in a tone of condemnation "<em closure_uid_q3pcjr="104" closure_uid_vurnr3="408">hundreds of thousand of innocent deaths..lies and hypocrisy and sadistic torture by the Americans - our MI5 chaps just heard, understood, maybe looked, of course, no touchy, touchy nonsense- and the Taliban."</em></span></div>

<em><span style="font-size: large;">"Are we still not able to say those three sentences: the 19 murderers claimed they were Muslims. They came from the Middle East. Is there a problem out there?"</span></em></div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<div closure_uid_vurnr3="407">
<span style="font-size: large;">Throughout the article, Fisk's frustration and the cause of it is clear; despite 'the halls of literature', the 'deluge of post 9/11 trauma' TV and films, few have mentioned the word, Israel. Fisk comments on some of the deluge, and we get the firm impression that the answer to his own question lies in his quote from Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan's book, <em>The Eleventh Day </em>: <em>"All the evidence.. indicates that Palestine was the factor that united the conspirators - on every level" </em>and <em closure_uid_vurnr3="406">"Palestine was certainly the principal political grievance driving the young Arabs.." </em></span></div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<div closure_uid_vurnr3="405">
<span style="font-size: large;">Parallel to this, he rightly emphasises that in this 9/11 fest, the media rarely mentions Iraq and when it does, does not explain <em>"the degree to which 11 September 2001 provided the excuse for this 2003 war crime. (How many died on 9/11? almost 3,000. How many died in the Iraq war? Who cares?")</em></span></div>

<span closure_uid_dnak5h="61" closure_uid_jinrjy="62" closure_uid_ni4h79="102" closure_uid_pg6rki="61" style="font-size: large;">Fisk was in journalism when I was in nappies. He lived in Beirut for 30 years and has reported from all over the Middle East. Me? Oh, I've stopped over in Doha airport on the way to Vietnam. It doesn't really give me grounds to start criticising his views. A lot of the time, I wouldn't need to; I wholeheartedly agree with Fisk's assertions on the illegality of the Iraq war, the horror of the invasion of Afghanistan, the hypocrisy of the Americans, intelligence services and the Taliban. I condone his support for Palestine, his criticism of Israel, his scathing description of 'Obama on his knees before Netanyahu.' Fisk wrote a brilliant an inspiring piece during the News International scandal earlier this year, in which he outlined his reasons for leaving Murdoch's The Times; Murdoch's bias toward Israel. I think of Fisk as a force for good, a humanitarian journalist, one who is motivated by the noble aim of disseminating the truth. </span><br />

<div closure_uid_ni4h79="103">
<span style="font-size: large;">What I don't understand about Fisk on 9/11 is his simultaneously conflicting viewpoints on the 9/11 Truth Movement. I will define the term loosely: those who question the official 9/11 Commission and Warren enquiry and would like to see a new and impartial investigation carried out. Many in this bracket believe that The Bush Administration, the CIA or Mossad were compliant in, if not planned the attacks.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_dnak5h="62" closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<div closure_uid_vurnr3="92">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the same page, Fisk regards the movement as 'rotten', but when he talks of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, he says he is 'not surprised that millions of Americans believe [what Scholars for 9/11 Truth have told us.]' </span></div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_7s5gdp="144" closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<div closure_uid_vurnr3="403">
<span style="font-size: large;">The reason behind such mythology, he understands is<em> 'the secretive, obtuse and sometimes dishonest account presented by the Whitehouse- not to mention the initial hoodwinking of the official 9/11 Commission staff.'</em></span></div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<div closure_uid_vurnr3="402">
<span style="font-size: large;">In an article about motive, I am surprised that Fisk does not discuss the motive behind such secretiveness. The official line would no doubt be 'National Security', or embarrassment limitation; the Whitehouse sheepishly trying to cover-up the incompetence of the world's most military equipped Super Power against some Arabs armed with box cutters. I anticipate Fisk would be willing to accept this line. </span><span style="font-size: large;">But let's look back to 2007, to a previous of Fisk's articles on 9/11 for The Independent titled, </span><strong><span style="font-size: large;">'Even I question the truth on 9/11.'</span></strong></div>

<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<div closure_uid_vurnr3="399">
<span closure_uid_jinrjy="63" style="font-size: large;">The purpose of the first two paragraphs seem solely to separate himself from 'the ravers' who apparently plague his lectures worldwide, kicking chairs over. The raver is irrational, sometimes distressed, forever asking Fisk, 'Why don't you reveal the truth behind 9/11?' </span></div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_q3pcjr="59">
<br />

<span closure_uid_mc92oz="60" style="font-size: large;">I think that could be a crude assessment of the assumption behind the question, perhaps it is a badly articulated question and 'the raver' means, 'why don't you <em>investigate</em> the truth behind 9/11?' and, 'As this has had such a huge effect on the Middle East, don't you want to know what's behind it?' </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This fear of being grouped with the 9/11 'ravers' and 'nutjobs' is endemic in the mainstream media.

It's not just the obvious non sequiturs: where are the aircraft parts (engines, etc) from the attack on the Pentagon? Why have the officials involved in the United 93 flight (which crashed in Pennsylvania) been muzzled? Why did flight 93's debris spread over miles when it was supposed to have crashed in one piece in a field? Again, I'm not talking about the crazed "research" of David Icke's Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster – which should send any sane man back to reading the telephone directory. </span></em></div>

If it is true, for example, that kerosene burns at 820C under optimum conditions, how come the steel beams of the twin towers – whose melting point is supposed to be about 1,480C – would snap through at the same time? (They collapsed in 8.1 and 10 seconds.) What about the third tower – the so-called World Trade Centre Building 7 (or the Salmon Brothers Building) – which collapsed in 6.6 seconds in its own footprint at 5.20pm on 11 September? Why did it so neatly fall to the ground when no aircraft had hit it? The American National Institute of Standards and Technology was instructed to analyse the cause of the destruction of all three buildings. They have not yet reported on WTC 7. Two prominent American professors of mechanical engineering – very definitely not in the "raver" bracket – are now legally challenging the terms of reference of this final report on the grounds that it could be "fraudulent or deceptive". </span></em></div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><div closure_uid_vamd82="109"><span closure_uid_5uci54="116" closure_uid_p3g35s="122" closure_uid_vamd82="108" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I consciously try to avoid 'the big four' and always Tesco since they plonked an EXTRA in the middle of our small seaside town. Instead, I aim to support small, local, independent shops when I can. The food is usually better and fresher. It's a pleasanter experience and great to see an employee being treated like a human being and not a corporate slave at the bottom of a capitalist pyramid. But now and again I just end up in a supermarket because I need a bottle of water, or it's Sunday, or 8 o clock at night, or I've only got £3.50 left until Wednesday. They are getting more and more difficult to avoid in modern life. They have driven out the competition and dominated the market with lower prices, big advertising campaigns and sheer prolificacy. Many people have become reliant on them for the majority of their weekly shopping. </span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span closure_uid_5uci54="127" closure_uid_p3g35s="123" closure_uid_vamd82="116" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These days you can neither go to a large music festival without the headlining presence of one of the major music ‘brands’: Beyonce, J-Zay, Rihanna, Jessie J, Black Eyed Peas etc. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" closure_uid_5uci54="144" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><div closure_uid_p3g35s="134"><div closure_uid_5uci54="121"><div closure_uid_vamd82="117"><span closure_uid_5uci54="122" closure_uid_p3g35s="128" closure_uid_vamd82="113" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In some people's eyes the number of fans these artists have should reflect their talent. But really, it reflects their coverage, the influence of their sponsors and the clout of their advertising campaigns. They are just like the supermarkets that have the biggest presence. Not necessarily the best but people get used to going there. </span><br />
<br />
<span closure_uid_5uci54="122" closure_uid_p3g35s="128" closure_uid_vamd82="113" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have their fans really had a good look around? They might find there’s the musical equivalent of a local delicatessen or real patisserie down the road, run by some not so famous people who make a damn good musical croissant and will even give you the time of day and have a chat about what’s really going in the world instead of going on and on about their own sex lives, wealth and fame. </span><br />
<span closure_uid_5uci54="122" closure_uid_p3g35s="128" closure_uid_vamd82="113" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div></div><div closure_uid_5uci54="121"><span closure_uid_5uci54="123" closure_uid_p3g35s="129" closure_uid_vamd82="114" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rihanna is not a great vocalist live; she sings along to a backing track, karaoke style, rarely finishing a lyric but giving it a lot of sassy attitude. It doesn’t seem to deter her fans. What she lacks in vocal talent she makes up for in </span><span closure_uid_uch8x="135" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">plenty of costume changes, elaborate staging and headline-grabbing displays of apparent sexual willingness towards the audience. Unfortunately, one of her songs was drilled into my head. I'm afraid I caught myself humming S & M whilst doing the washing up. So the songs are catchy? Perhaps, but so are commercial jingles if you hear them enough times. I could just as well have been humming: 'Washing machines live longer with Calgon!'</span><br />

Beyonce with her bum shaking and bling flaunting reminds me of the infamous pocket-tap Asda advert. Ching ching! Listen to that change jangle!</span></div><div closure_uid_vamd82="119"><br />

She could make a wonderful new dress out of scallops from their fresh fish deli. But be careful, she is secretly teaming up with Beyonce at Asda and poisoning you ala Telephone! </span><br />

<span closure_uid_5uci54="129" closure_uid_p3g35s="139" closure_uid_uch8x="136" style="font-family: Verdana;">Rihanna is Tesco because the good girl gone bad is the most openly amoral. Tesco had no qualms about saying no to a certain TV chef's free range chicken campaign. And Rihanna had no qulams about her S & M video being banned in several countries: "Controversy means more publicity and more success", she chirped in an interview after the Brit awards. Controversy is good for Rihanna business. Cheap chicken is good for Tesco business. Rihanna and Tesco appeal to the lowest common denominator in people; for Tesco customers it's cheap, battery-farmed chicken breasts and thighs. For Rihanna fans, it's just breasts and thighs. </span><span closure_uid_5uci54="129" closure_uid_p3g35s="139" style="font-family: Verdana;">With her new single 'Cheers' she advises alcohol as a way of shaking off one's problems; "Turn it around with another round," she sings. Drinks manufacturers and supermarkets can only be too pleased about this endorsement. And since many in the US are living in tent cities due to the global recession, they have lots of problems to escape. 2 for 1 on strong lager anyone? The only way Tesco could be more like Rihanna was if the cashiers spoke over a pre-programmed backing script and never finished a sentence themselves.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Writing about the British riots makes me very, very uncomfortable. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ll tell you why, using a quote from award winning blogger, Laurie Penny: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">“Most of the people who will be writing, speaking and pontificating about the disorder this weekend have absolutely no idea what it is like to grow up in a community where there are no jobs, no space to live or move, and the police are on the streets stopping-and-searching you as you come home from school.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">I admit, I am one of those people. I also have no idea what it’s like to jump out of a burning building, be too terrified to leave my house, find my livelihood destroyed, be mugged in the street whilst bleeding, or lose a beloved son. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> I have been in tranquil Devon the whole time. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">I heard about the shooting of Mark Duggan over a week ago and thought ‘Oh, that’s terrible. His poor family. I hope the IPCC get to the bottom of it. More police corruption etc blah, blah.’ But I was busy seeing family so I didn’t give it much more thought. Then the riots started in Tottenham, and even at this point, I thought, ‘It probably won’t last long.’ It wasn’t until cars and buildings were on fire in Brixton, Hackney and Croydon that I, along with the majority of the population began talking, tweeting, facebooking or broadcasting about it non-stop. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">It didn’t seem to make any sense. What did the death of Mark Duggan have to do with teenagers looting in disparate parts of London? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Someone posted the</span><span style="font-size: large;"> now prolific</span><span style="font-size: large;">, ‘Brave Hackney Lady' video on facebook: “You make me ashamed to be a Hackney person because we ain’t all getting together and fighting for a cause, we’re going down Footlocker and thieving shoes,” and I jumped to agree. As the images of burning homes and smashed up small businesses saturated the media, I was swept along with the consensus that this was ‘no longer about a shooting in Tottenham. This was hooliganism and opportunist criminality.’</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/ITJcparImeQ?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve always approved of political dissent, but this wasn’t looking like anything more than grabbing ‘free stuff’. The rioters appeared to be choosing targets out of greed, not for their political poignancy. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">I couldn’t comprehend why the unrest had spread so quickly. I didn’t understand how these people had suddenly lost all inhibition and fear of the law. I was concerned the government intended to use the riots as an excuse to clamp down harder on civil liberties, Internet freedom and rights to protest. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">But I was still completely ignoring the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old black man by police, and later, the beating of a 16-year-old girl by 15 police officers, when she was asking for answers about the incident.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">I then watched a BBC interview with West Indian writer, Darcus Howe. The presenter was in the studio, Howe was standing in front of a burnt out building in London. The presenter asked "Are you shocked by what happened last night.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">He replied “No, not at all. I have been living in London for fifty years. There are so many different moods and moments but what I was certain about, listening to my grandson and my son is that something very, very serious was going to take place in this country. Our political leaders had no idea. The police had no idea. But if you looked at young blacks <i>and</i> young whites with a discerning eye and a careful hearing, they have been telling us and we were not listening, what is happening to them in this country..” he’s just about to go on and tell us what has been happening to them when the BBC presenter interrupts him; "You say you’re not shocked by last nights events, does that mean you condone them?" </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">This type of either/or thinking seems so typical a trait of the BBC since the beginning of the ‘War on Terror,’ echoing George W Bush’s: 'You’re either with the terrorists or with us!'</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">When the interview isn’t going quite the way she'd hoped, the presenter accuses Howe of participating in riots in the 1980s:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">“Your not a stranger to riots yourself, I understand, are you?” she asks as though addressing a naughty schoolboy. He counters, “I have never taken part in single a riot in my life. I’ve been on demonstrations that have ended up in conflict, and have some respect..” Howe is understandably incensed. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/mzDQCT0AJcw?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No one with an ounce of empathy would condone the violence, the damage to people’s homes, or the three tragic fatalities that have occurred in Birmingham but perhaps we should cease the continuous ritual of condemnation, and acknowledge that these occurrences are ugly by-products of political unrest. Ugly by-products, the mainstream media has chosen to focus on for political reasons. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">"If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." – Malcolm X</span></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;">In one NBC report, a young man in Tottenham was asked if rioting really achieved anything:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Yes," said the young man. "You wouldn't be talking to me now if we didn't riot would you?

As the News International phone hacking scandal unfolds and layers of police corruption are uncovered, I am reminded of other stories of the police coming under public scrutiny this year; the sensational tale of Karl Chapman who was taken to a brothel by police and took heroin in their company in exchange for his cooperation as a key witness in a murder trial; a story about the Cardiff Three who were wrongly convicted for the murder of Lynette White in 1990. Since the real murderer’s confession, more truth has surfaced and eight South Wales police officers are currently on trial for fabricating evidence and conspiring to pervert the course of justice. </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="204">
<br /></div>
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="205">
Although justice is welcomed by those who have been miscarried by it, the truth often surfaces far too late after the fact; for victims of the phone hacking scandal such as the Dowler family, their grief is further aggravated and their ordeal prolonged; for the Cardiff Three, they had already spent two years in prison and when they were released, suspicion and stigma still hung over them until Gafoor’s confession in 2003. It took another eight years until the police involved were finally asked to account for their actions. </div>
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="205">
<br /></div>
<div closure_uid_c1h8i8="91">
<div closure_uid_aj9zn="101">
Glyn Razzell has served over 7 years of a life sentence and is still fighting to get access to all the evidence that had him put away. He wonders if the truth about his case will ever come to light. On 14 November 2003 he was wrongfully convicted of the murder of his estranged wife, Linda Razzell. Linda disappeared on the way to her workplace, Swindon College, on the morning of 19th March 2002 but her body was never found. However, blood was found in the boot of the Renault Laguna that Glyn had in his possession that day. DNA from the blood was matched to Linda’s. Pretty incriminating evidence you would have thought, unless you take the time to look into the case and all the evidence, and particularly the way the police behaved during the investigation.</div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="206">
<br /></div>
<div closure_uid_aj9zn="102">
<div closure_uid_p79lgj="93">
In Britain police record about 1,000 missing persons every day, yet as soon as Linda Razzell was reported missing, police treated it as a murder investigation and put over 40 Officers on the case. It was a hasty presumption as there were subsequent sightings of Linda. Most notably, a witness who had known Linda for 10 years, said she saw Linda driving a silver ford fiesta the day after her disappearance. The friend had waved to her, and said that Linda seemed cross to have been seen. The police did their best to discredit the witness because this didn’t fit in with their theory that Glyn had abducted and killed his wife.</div>
</div>
<br />
<div closure_uid_aj9zn="103">
Glyn said he was taking a walk at the alleged time of the abduction so police seized Glyn’s shoes, cleaned them, and said they weren’t muddy enough to have been worn on a walk. Glyn urged the police to look at CCTV footage from a police station and from Swindon’s Ericcson offices which would have captured pictures of him on his walk but astonishingly, they made no attempt to retrieve the footage until six months later, by which time it had been “lost” or “recorded over.”</div>
The police searched Glyn’s home and took out the pipes in the kitchen. Glyn remained cooperative, trusting that he would soon be eliminated and his missing wife would be found. However, the conversations he had with police during that time were later used against him. Police even claimed that the mattress protector from a bedroom was missing and had been used to wrap a body when in fact, the police themselves had seized it and listed it incorrectly. <br />
<br />
There was something else missing too; a motive. Glyn had a career in finance and is very on the ball about money and insurance matters; he knew that he would not benefit financially from Linda’s death. It wasn’t a crime of passion either because Glyn and Linda had been separated since August 2000 and had little to do with each other. The marriage had broken down principally because of Linda’s infidelity with builders who were working on their extension in 1998 and the consequences that stemmed from it, including Glyn starting a new relationship in October 1999. Linda initiated divorce in May 2000 but was getting increasingly bitter about Glyn’s relationship with an attractive, younger woman. This could be a motive for Linda to want to ruin his life. She had a long history of mental illness and had also made false accusations of domestic violence against Glyn during the divorce proceedings. Glyn was acquitted on all counts. <br />
<br />
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="207">
<div closure_uid_t4wrdy="103">
Mysteriously, Linda had marked March 19th with a ‘?’ on the calendar in her home but no one knew why. Internet cookies on Linda’s computer showed that she had been looking at cheap flight websites in the previous weeks and a shopping list written by Linda on March 18th contained the words ‘collect travel tickets.’ Linda had two phones, one for work and one she used exclusively for contact with her children. On March 19th Linda left that phone at home and said, ‘goodbye’ to her children rather than the usual ‘see you at five.’ She spoke fluent French, loved visits to Paris. Linda gave conversational french lessons to a man going to work in Burundi and the address of the Burundi Ambassador in Paris was found on a jotter in Linda's home. </div>
</div>
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="207">
<br /></div>
So, one should rightly ask, if she did stage her own disappearance, how did her blood end up in the boot of the Laguna? It is as much of a mystery to Glyn. Yet, in the eyes of the prosecution, he is denying Linda a proper burial by not disclosing the location of the body, which paints him in an even worse light. Glyn maintains his innocence and says he didn’t even know about Linda’s routine. How can he have predicted her movements on the morning of March 19th and known where to be to abduct her?<br />
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="208">
Others saw her that morning; a witness saw Linda’s car in a lay by on the road she used to travel to work each morning at around 9.00, before she parked her car in the usual spot in Alvescott Road. Linda’s boyfriend’s car was parked next to hers, and another witness saw her boyfriend at 9.30am, near to where Linda parked her car for work.</div>
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="208">
<br /></div>
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="209">
<div closure_uid_t4wrdy="92">
Linda’s romance with the builder had fizzled out but she was now seeing Greg Worrall, her best friend’s husband. Acquaintances say she didn’t see it lasting long term. The previous day, Greg and Linda had visited three banks together and CCTV shows this. This was ignored by police as well. Glyn’s defence team claim Greg Worrall had lied to police about his movements on the day Linda disappeared; mobile phone analysis proves this.</div>

<br />
Linda with her boyfrined, Greg Worrall. <br />
<br />
Worrall had been questioned by police but all focus shifted to Glyn once the Laguna was examined for the fourth time and the blood was found. The car was initially searched by detectives and then examined again by SOCOs (Scene of the Crime Officers), and then once more for 5 hours where swabs and tapings were taken. Nothing was found; not a nail, not a hair, not a single fibre connecting the car to Linda, and no signs of recent cleaning. The car was then returned to its owner, Glyn’s friend, who cleaned it thoroughly because it was covered in forensic chemicals. However, the Laguna was seized again on the 28th March. The forensic officers used luminol this time and said they found spots of Linda’s blood. </div>
<div closure_uid_o1bb94="210">
<br /></div>
<div closure_uid_aj9zn="106">
This evidence was presented in court by the prosecution using sketches and photographs along with a verbal statement from a forensic expert. It made the desired impact on the jury and judge. Glyn was going down but I doubt the jury were aware of the complex yet glaring inconsistencies in the forensic evidence. </div>
<div closure_uid_aj9zn="106">
<br /></div>
<div closure_uid_aj9zn="107">
Police claim no photos were taken during the first two examinations, which seems highly unlikely for a high profile, expensive murder investigation which was given the codename; ‘Operation Docker,’ from the outset. Luminol will show up all traces of things containing iron and/or copper like blood, soil, cleaning chemicals, plant material, lawn clippings etc. The first photos taken of the Laguna were during the third examination and show chalk marks highlighting where the luminol has reacted with a mineral. Many of these later turned out not to be blood. When blood was eventually found, a controversial low count DNA analysis method showed a partial match to Linda’s DNA. Later forensic officers were interviewed and said they found heavy staining in the Laguna, visible to the naked eye. How could these stains have been missed in the first two examinations? </div>
<br />
The prosecution only had to disclose the evidence they used in court so there are hundreds of pages of forensic documents about the Laguna that Glyn and his supporters have never seen. Glyn believes these could contain the evidence to overturn his conviction, yet the police refuse to release them. Why? Is it because they might reveal that the blood was planted to incriminate Glyn?<br />

Glyn tries to maintain positive and proactive whilst he’s inside. He hopes Linda is ok wherever she is. Glyn's sister, Vicky George has supported him throughout his ordeal and helps to keep him informed of what’s going on in the outside world as there is no Internet access or newspapers in prison. He’s not demanding a world-wide hunt for Linda or a national front page expose, just access to some documents that could allow a belated and partial justice for himself. There's always the worry that the forensic pages are ‘lost’ like the CCTV footage mentioned earlier, and that those involved in Operation Docker will do their utmost to keep this information secret. I hope in the near future, Glyn will be in the news again for the right reasons, because his conviction is overturned or because his estranged wife is found. </div>

"I'm writing to let you know about a recent development in Glyn's case and to ask for your help.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Glyn has had his access to a laptop computer withdrawn because he was using it to write to a journalist about his case. This is an unlawful act by the prison because he had a court order that the prison service provide him with a laptop for his CCRC application case work. Also, Prison Service Instruction 37/2010 Para 2.1 states that 'prisioners do not need permission from the governor to read or receive letters from the media', yet staff at HMP Kingston are ignoring this directive.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
As you may know Glyn's case involves over 10,000 items of evidence and much of this, together with his own notes, is stored on the laptop. If he loses access to this material his CCRC application could be set back years or lost completely. He is also concerned that the authorities could copy his legally privileged material.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Is there anything you can do to highlight his plight in the media or to bring pressure to bear on the governor of HMP Kingston to return Glyn's computer and case files and to allow his access to the media?</div>
<div>
