RUPERT ALERT!

The NY Daily News titled its article on Murdoch yesterday "RUPERT RIPOFF ALERT!" It seems Rupert's company lobbied the Dept. of Ed. here in NY to refuse to go through a proper bidding process and award his company millions in a contract that the company was not even up to doing...now, there are some dots to connect - because when Rupert Murdoch's woes became apparent in the UK, he hired NY schools' biggie Joel Klein to 'investigate'. Maybe Klein needs to be investigated. Who investigates the investigators?

And now some think Murdoch's empire was hacking into our computers as well...

I guess that's just more for Klein to investigate...BTW, the contract that Murdoch got in NY had to do with a data system on the computers. So he would not need to hack it.

It just gets weirder and weirder, or curiouser and curiouser.

FRESH REVELATIONS MAY FINISH MURDOCH

Yesterday it emerged that the Murdoch gang had given a cell phone to Sara Payne, whose daughter was killed by a paedophile in 2000...Mrs. Payne loved the Murdoch papers and supported them till the end...when she found out that the gift of the phone was a Trojan Horse, bugged so the paper could listen in. To what? Their grief? Or, since the Murdoch empire is now known to support paedophiles who are under investigation, were they trying to support the murderer of this child? They went so far once as to bug the phone of a detective on a murder case who was surveilling someone who worked for the Murdochs...and who is now in jail.

What the hell is going on?

The Post in New York is not selling; yesterday the deli on my block threw away almost all the copies they got. El Diario sold out, but the Post was left to remainder.

And no wonder. It carries little or no information on this. Instead, it had some stupid article about drug dealers busted in Harlem, with the caption HEMP SHIRT - no, the shirt was made of cotton, as all stupid drug dealers wear, but the editor saw fit to carry on the Hearst tradition and smear hemp along with marijuana in the paper (Laura Italiano, "Busted in High Fashion, NY Post, 29 July 2011).

Let us take a long look at this scenario, and reflect on what is going on. A billionaire gives the public smelly garbage as news and the public eats it up. Thus we have wars and pollution, some of the latter from the process of making newspaper pulp. Which, like drug dealers' shirts, is not made from hemp.

Some of the smelliest garbage the Muroch people foisted on us was the Rachel North attacks on those questioning 9/11 and 7/7. And it stunk. She made good money from it all, jetsetting off to expensive hotels in Spain from which she blogged about the wines she enjoyed...and it was clever, as she was a woman who was claiming to be a victim - St Rachel the Martyr, dare question her and she could use the force of Murdoch to bring you down...I more than questioned her, to her face, which she claimed was hit by up to 40 pieces of shrapnel in the attacks - but shows no scars. She did not like the scrutiny and made sure to avoid me.

Just like a number of Murdoch journalists over the years when I have confronted them. They stink. They are part of an empire that has committed the most vile of acts and needs to be questioned about their role in 9/11, 7/7, and 3/11...which, besides being 911 days after 9/11,. just happens to fall on the birthday of one Keith Rupert Murdoch...was he celebrating as the bombs went off? We would like to know.

And we would like to close his papers and stop felling trees to produce the smelly garbage he calles news. But he is not alone - even the Guardian, which is at the fore of the exposure of his sins, has its own: for instance, it spiked the stories by investigative journalists Michael Gillard and Laurie Flynne who were investigating Scotland Yard back in 1999 and 2000. They finally published their shocking book Untouchables, Dirty Cops, Bent Justice and Racism in Scotland Yard in 2004.

One might just ask, was the Guardian also in bed with the Yardies? And what role did the Yard have in covering up 7/7 - which they must have known was an inside job? Or the sale of Quinetic, a story that the Guardian did not want to take from me? Or the extradition of Ian Norris - which had disgusting ties to the Bush Empire (which has disgusting ties to the Murdoch Empire...) - the Guardian spiked that one big time...

We may one day have to arrest and question about 30% of all journalists in the UK because this just cannot go on anymore. And I say 'we' because it looks like the Yard is also not doing its job.

WAS AMY WINEHOUSE SECRETLY MURDERED BY MURDOCH?

Of course not. Sadly, she passed away at the tender age of 27 - as did Hendrix, Cobain and many other young talented musicians. And it will be no surprise if she died of the same causes...but the toxicology reports have so far been inconclusive, and the press awaits a final verdict. As well they should.

Many would not even wait for such results to figure out that some combination of ketamine, crack or other drugs put her cold in earth. She, unlike Sean Hoare, was not a whistleblower on a billionaire who may be a sick criminal with an axe to grind. She was her own worst enemy. So little mystery surrounds her demise. But as obvious as it seems to most that hers was drug induced, there is still the protocol to follow of waiting for test results and not jumping to conclusions. Someone could always have poisoned her or murdered her in some other way, or she could have died of some undetected illness. We wait for facts.

Except in the case of a man whose death was possibly beneficial for Murdoch...then we just jump to a neat little conclusion and we hear no more - even the New York Times is not giving us any more on this. Case closed. Nothing to see here folks. He was a junkie, as some of his fellow hacks told us, so there...

Personally I do not believe he was a junkie, he seemed too in control and also, that label comes from his enemies, not a series of rehab clinics. But even if he was, it would be proper to let the toxicology reports come in before any verdict. The failure to follow protocol in his case is in itself grounds for suspicion. And it stands in contrast to the Winehouse case, which the Murdoch press is now using to sell more of its papers. So at least she did not die in vain, whatever she did die of. Which, as I said, I suspect was the drugs. Rupert did not murder her.

MURDOCH AND MYSTERIOUS DEATHS AMONG 9/11 RESEARCHERS

Danny Jowenko, the Dutchman who analysed the WTC7 collapse and debunked the official story, has been killed recently in a car crash in Holland. Not able to read Dutch, I really cannot comment, although it is mysterious the number of deaths that seem 9/11/Murdoch related, from Mike Zebur, to Paul Vigay, to Sean Hoare, to Danny Jowenko - that is a short list.

My last post tying Murdoch to 9/11 seems to have some interesting visitors, including one from the House of Parliament, some time afternoon or evening London time. Just after Murdoch was on the stand, but not under oath, most likely lying to all of us.

In NY, the papers are putting it all on the front page, indeed it has made the NYT front page just about every day since the Fourth of July. This is followed by 2-3 pages some days. In yesterday's Daily News, Richard Cohen comments: "The similarities between Kane, Hearst and Murdoch are numerous. It's hard to summon any pity for any of them."

Yet Murdoch is trying to summon it, pointing out, not without some truth, that the other papers are trying to bring him down. Indeed they may be, but not for nothing. It was his own fault, not just the acts of one hapless journalist or even a handful. He may get sympathy from David Aaronovitch, but even that not without a quid pro quo.

Or maybe Giuliani will have some for him - Cohen points out that Murdoch helped him get elected...Cohen might one day also notice that Giuliani benfitted from 9/11 and the anthrax attacks...forgot about those? Well, we all called it a US made job - and the FBI agrees with that - but not a word in the Post about it...I guess Murdoch does not want to have anyone know.

More to come, if I do not end up on the list of mysterious deaths.

KEITH RUPERT MURDOCH: 9/11 MASTERMIND?

Is Murdoch behind 9/11? Many are now asking this - with perhaps only some anecdotal evidence in the public domain - such as the allegation that News Corp tried to hack 9/11 victims' phones - to get info on anyone, like William Rodriguez, who saw anything suspicious? The Murdoch press, including the likes of DDT loving Andrea Peyser, love to mock 9/11 truthers...one goes so far as to write a book on it - David Aaronovitch - a review was posted on this site in spring of 2009.

Murdoch seems to be clearly trying to marginalize independent researchers who use facts to challenge the government’s flawed explanation of what occurred on 9/11. Why?

DID RUPERT MURDOCH
HAVE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF 9/11?

More than a year before 9/11, media mogul Rupert Murdoch produced a television program that depicted a passenger aircraft being hijacked by remote control and flown into the World Trade Center. Murdoch has close and long-standing relations with the individuals who gained control of the twin towers shortly before they were destroyed.

Murdoch is said to be television’s “most powerful man in the world with the capacity to reach more than 110 million viewers across four continents.” Murdoch sits at the helm of News Corp., the parent company of Fox News network, and controls a large part of the mass media in the United States, including The New York Post and the Fox cinema and television network.

Murdoch’s international media network owns more than 175 newspapers and magazines on three continents, publishes 40 million papers a week and dominates the newspaper markets in Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

Less well known, however, is the fact that Murdoch produced a television program in 2000, which predicted with uncanny accuracy the attacks of 9/11.

Murdoch also has long-standing relationships with the key individuals who gained possession of the World Trade Center shortly before 9/11 – and who profited from its destruction.

In 2000, Murdoch produced a television program about a terror attack on the World Trade Center, which predicted precisely the kind of attack that occurred on 9/11. He is also closely connected to the two individuals who leased, and then insured the WTC property – and their future earnings – against precisely such an attack.

These connections and circumstances suggest that Murdoch had a considerable degree of prior knowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Repeated calls to Murdoch’s office by American Free Press to inquire about what he may have known or suspected about the possibility of such an attack were not returned.

THE LONE GUNMAN

On March 4, 2001, Fox TV, a branch of Murdoch’s media empire, broadcast the pilot episode of a “spin-off” series based on characters from the popular Fox program “X-Files”. The short-lived series was called “The Lone Gunman.”

A Murdoch-owned company called Canadian Millennium Productions, Ltd. (News Corp. owns 83 percent), produced the pilot episode for “The Lone Gunman” in Vancouver, Canada, and New York City from March 20 to April 7, 2000.

The title “The Lone Gunman” refers to a Washington-based government watchdog news weekly, not unlike the court-killed SPOTLIGHT and the American Free Press. The show’s main characters are the investigative reporters who produce the paper.

The pilot episode of “The Lone Gunman” depicted the hijacking of a passenger aircraft by a hostile computer hacker who takes control of the plane computer flight system and directs it to fly into one of the towers of the World Trade Center.

The climactic sequence shows the plane heading straight for one of the twin towers, but thanks to the efforts of the crew of “The Lone Gunman” and the powerful “Octium” computer chip, the pilots are able to regain control of the plane at the last second and avoid the building by inches.

The pilots do not swerve away from the tower but pull the plane up in a steep climb. In a memorable scene full of suspense the plane narrowly missed the tower.

The background footage for the plane’s approach to the WTC was actually filmed during the spring of 2000 by a special aerial crew that used a helicopter flying low over Manhattan on a night flight toward the twin towers.

Despite the uncanny similarities between the Murdoch-produced film and the horrific reality of 9/11, rather than being discussed in the media as a prescient warning of the possibility of such an attack, the pilot episode of “The Lone Gunman” series seemed to have been quietly forgotten.

While an estimated 13.2 million Fox TV viewers are reported to have watched the pilot episode of “The Lone Gunman”, broadcast on March 4, 2001, when life imitated art just six months later on 9/11, no one in the media seemed to recall the program.

NO ONE NOTICED

“I woke up on September 11 and saw it on TV and the first thing I thought of was The Lone Gunmen,” Frank Spotnitz, one of the program’s four executive producers said. “But then in the weeks and months that followed, almost no one noticed the connection.”

Frank Spotnitz, John Shiban, Vince Gilligan, and Chris Carter are listed as executive producers of the program. Shiban is also listed as a writer and creator of the pilot episode.

“What’s disturbing about it to me is, you think as a fiction writer that if you can imagine this scenario, then the people in power in the government who are there to imagine disaster scenarios can imagine it, too,” Spotnitz said.

Robert McLachlan, director of photography, received an award from the Canadian Society of Cinematographers on March 31, 2001 for his camera work on the pilot episode.

“It was odd that nobody referenced it,” McLachlan told American Free Press about the uncanny similarities between “The Lone Gunman” pilot episode he filmed and the horrific reality of 9/11. “You’re the first person who mentioned it,” he said. “In the ensuing press nobody mentioned that [9/11] echoed something that had been seen before.”

AFP asked McLachlan about who supervised the production of the pilot program. “John Shiban was primarily the creator,” McLachlan said, adding, “Chris Carter was not there.” Carter is well known for his production of the “X-Files.”

“It’s their baby,” Carter said earlier about “The Lone Gunmen.” Carter reportedly had “a minor part” in the production. Neither Carter nor Shiban could be reached for comment.

The young Keith Rupert was educated at Australia’s fashionable Geelong private school, and went on to the elitist and aristocratic Oxford University in England, according to Candour (UK) magazine.

It is through a network of organisations, in which Murdoch plays a central role, that Murdoch is connected to the individuals who arranged the privatization – and obtained control of the World Trade Center – shortly before its destruction.

These key individuals are: Larry Silverstein and Frank Lowy, the lease holders of dubious repute who gained control of the WTC property six weeks before 9/11, and Port Authority Chairman Lewis M. Eisenberg, who authorised the transfer of the leases.

Murdoch belongs to, and has been honored by, a number of l organisations in which Silverstein, Lowy, and Eisenberg all hold senior positions. 50 days before 9/11, Silverstein Properties and Lowy’s Westfield America secured 99-year leases on the WTC. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey turned control of the World Trade Center over to the private hands of Silverstein and Lowy on July 24, 2001.

Silverstein and Lowy then took control of the 10.6 million-square-foot complex, which included the twin towers office buildings and two nine-story office buildings. Silvestein and Lowy then controlled all access to the World Trade Center. Lowy leased the shopping concourse called the Mall at the World Trade Center, which comprised about 427,000 square feet of retail space.

“Six weeks before the WTC towers were destroyed, the Port Authority completed the process of leasing them for 99 years to Larry Silverstein, the developer who had built 7 World Trade Center [which mysteriously self-demolished at 5:25 p.m. on 9/11].

“Simultaneously, the retail space underneath the complex was leased to Westfield America, the US division of an Australian company that is one of the world’s largest operators of shopping malls.” Paul Goldberger wrote in New Yorker, May 20, 2002.

“Silverstein and Westfield were given the right to rebuild the structures if they were destroyed, and Westfield has the right to expand the retail space by 30 percent,” Goldberger wrote.

Silverstein sued for some $7.2 billion in insurance money for the loss of the destroyed World Trade Center – and his expected earnings – for property he had leased with a down payment of $100 million – of borrowed funds.

Eisenberg in his role with the Port Authority was the key person who negotiated the 99-year leases for Silverstein and Frank Lowy’s Westfield America, who were in fact the low-bidders for the lease on the 110-story towers and the retail mall.

Murdoch and the Czechoslovakian-born Frank Lowy, who emigrated to Australia in the 1950s, have had a long friendship, which Murdoch recounted during an American Australian Association fund-raising dinner in honor of Frank’s son, Peter S. Lowy, in New York on November 20, 2002. Larry Silverstein and his wife also attended the American Australian event.

Some reporters refer to the American Australian Association, whose membership includes James Wolfensohn, the president of the World Bank, who raised cash for Rupert Murdoch when he first expanded into the United States, as “the kangaroo mafia.”

That's not to make any connection to Australia, or any other country or group to which Murdoch belongs (or belonged, he lost his Australian citizenship when he opportustically took US citizenship). Interestingly, I was once a member - for the reason that they threw wonderful parties at Rock Center here in NY last Friday of every month...

But to bet back to the man in question, we have a real problem on our hands. And is his ship sinks, it will be more than just one dead journalists in Herts who turns up dead. The real perps of 9/11 are not about to let themselves get found out. Stay tuned for more, there is lots to this...
