NEWS DESK MICHAEL WALSH - 23rd SEPTEMBER 2001

EXPLODING RED HERRINGS

With passions subsiding and public enthusiasm for the colonisation of Arab-Asia waning watch out for further American-Israeli inspired outrages callously designed to revive sympathy and support for their Third World War.

There is growing evidence that there was more than a dirty arm up Israel's tunic sleeve in respect of the cataclysmic destruction of the World Trade Centres on September 11. Israel openly admits they are major beneficiaries of the New York tragedy. Behind the smoke of the collapsing towers they upped their territorial demands on the beleaguered tormented Palestinians and diverted world attention away from their own atrocities.

The public's gut response, outrage and thirst for vengeance is being rapidly evaporated by emerging evidence that questions hysteria made 'on the hoof.' One doesn't need a long memory to recall that the Oklahoma bombing, for which Timothy McVeigh was executed, was initially placed at Bin Laden's cave entrance.

ISRAELI JUBILATION

In the cold light of day it has emerged that American security officials arrested a number of Israeli subjects for jubilantly filming the attack whilst it actually took place. The filming was directed from a Jewish-owned New York building offering an unequalled platform to film the horrendous unfolding events. They also want to know why over 4,000 Israelis, who might normally be found behind their desks at the WTC coincidentally took a 'sickie' on that fateful day.

The respected Jordanian newspaper al-Watan surmised the hand of the Israeli security organisation Shabak, which likewise cancelled Israeli premier Ariel Sharon's scheduled attendance at a New York Jewish shindig on the evening before the calamity.

As evidence emerges that Israel had foreknowledge of the attack certain sections of the US intelligence apparatus want to know why they were kept in the dark.

SUSPICIOUSLY FEW JEWISH VICTIMS

Suspicion was further heightened when the international Reuters news agency published a list of the casualties of the attack including those still missing. Of twenty-six nations that lost citizens not a single one was listed as being of Israeli extraction. This in New York city which boasts a Jewish population, well over represented in the fiscal trades, that is greater than that of the state of Israel itself.

The Jewish Chronicle on September 14 conceded: "Though no Israeli firms had offices in the twin towers, Zim Navigation only last week moved its headquarters with 100 employees, from the Trade Centre to Virginia."

WORLD TRADE CENTRES WERE DEMOLISHED

Equally alarming is the extent of the destruction that far surpasses that which experts might expect from a couple of airliner kamikaze attacks. Both buildings were actually designed to withstand the impact of a jumbo jet. The building designers, architects and construction experts are far from stupid and are not prone to making exaggerated claims. Insurers too are meticulous if nothing else when assessing risk. This cannot be written off as another 'unsinkable Titanic' boast.

The buildings in fact lived up to expectations, absorbing and surviving both hits. After each strike the floors directly effected were destroyed and the collateral damage moved upwards, but the twin colossus remained otherwise impervious. There was no good reason why they shouldn't have survived. A reinforced concrete building, especially of this magnitude, is virtually indestructible.

A PERFECT SYMMETRICAL COLLAPSE - TWICE!

Thirty minutes after impact the fires in both skyscrapers went out; there is smoke but there are no flames. It is over an hour later when mysteriously - by all previous experience - each building conveniently collapses rather than topples as might be expected. Each skyscraper folds at a uniform synchronised rate just as might be expected - but only if each of the many supports in each building simultaneously collapse. Experts have already likened both events as 'a demolition'. There is growing suspicion that this hits the precise red button.

The initial story fed to the unquestioning compliant media was that the disintegration of the towers could be explained by burning jet fuel causing beams supporting the buildings to melt (at 800c). But much if not all of each aircraft's fuel complement was immediately consumed in the fireballs, which erupted on impact. Such that remained would have long been exhausted long before the passing of over an hour and each building's subsequent failure.

Furthermore, it can be assumed that the extensive sprinkler system would have automatically been released dampening if not extinguishing the inferno from moment of impact. Thus the claim that thousands of gallons of burning jet fuel produced a (much delayed) raging inferno leading to the collapse of the formidable steel and concrete structures is dubious to say the least. The evidence suggests otherwise.

EXPERT SUGGESTS 'IT WAS A DEMOLITION JOB'

Mr. Van Romero, vice-president for research at New Mexico (USA) Institute of Mining and Technology stated, "The collapse of the twin towers resembled those of controlled implosions used in planned demolitions." He added: "My opinion, is based on the video tapes, that after the aeroplanes hit the World Trade Centre some explosive devices inside the buildings caused the towers to collapse."

"The detonations could have been caused by a small amount of explosives put in more than one place in each of the towers. It could have been a relatively small amount of explosives placed at each point." The distinguished expert added.

Demolition experts agree the WTC was demolished. One said, "To demolish a building, you don't need all that explosive but it needs to be placed in a number of strategic locations and ignited in a smooth, timed sequence. Someone had to have a lot of access and a lot of time in the towers to do this."

It is highly unlikely that a score of swarthy looking Arabs, sneaking unchallenged past hundreds of highly trained security guards, entered the bowels of the buildings where public access is denied. Each having an expertise in demolition including remote control technology that goes far beyond the usual and often amateurish Arab-Israeli conflict truck bomb.

SPIN-DOCTORS ON THE RETREAT

As the truth emerges and the suppression of informed opinion becomes more difficult the spin-doctors are becoming more agitated. Massive demonstrations against the rush to war are being air-brushed out of news bulletins.

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament's Whitehall rally attracted over 10,000 dissidents. These events were widely covered throughout the world but our own BBC (Blair's Bunch of Cronies) censored coverage despite it being the biggest such demonstration in London for decades. Similar protests were held in Manchester and Glasgow. These too were censored.

What was released repeatedly however was the strident demand from a military commander demanding that people 'support their boys' and implying that failure to do so was tantamount to treachery and lack of patriotic backbone.

As this is unlikely to shore up flagging morale in Britain we can expect yet another Israeli-inspired outrage to re-focus public opinion. In the meantime the gung-ho media will don its Biggle's helmet and to the rousing hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers' will lead Tommy Atkins and his American friends as ever to fight Israel's war of attrition and America's war of economic colonisation
