PRESS SUPPRESSION

In the '30s, the press went beserk and demonised hemp, led by the Hearst newspapers. Facts were ignored so that a few companies could increase their dominance, and we are paying for it today. But the beat goes on...if you try to get them onside about this issue now, you end up wasting your time, and this includes a number of 'lefty' papers...such as the Independent, which, as the Ecologist newspaper points out, ran a front page story about environmentalists supporting nuclear energy. Here on this site you can read more details of this, and how twisted debate on biofuels kept us from developing biofuels. Also on this site, there has been much mention of press dishonesty in regards to 9/11. Above is a photo of Beverly Eckert, a 9/11 widow, clutching a photo of her late husband. She refused money from the government as a payout; part of the deal was that she would have to forego a real investigation. She stood out, and got hammered down; earlier this month she perished in a routine flight in New York. Funny how so many opponents of the Bush administration perish on aeroplanes, and the dots somehow connnect to the fact that both Bushes were pilots. In fact, the first victims of the Bushes may have been the two US Marines who died on the plane that George Herbert Walker Bush allowed to crash over Iwo Jima, without allowing them to parachute out to safety. This cowardice was observed by Sgt Chester Merzejewski. It came out in an election, but the press elected not to go into too much detail here; and maybe wisely, as those who go into 'too much detail' can end up dead. We do not know for a fact whether Beverly Eckert was murdered, but we do know that another 9/11 sceptic was - Mike Zebuhr - he was gunned down after a robbery. The gunman, ironically named Walker, fled the scene of the crime, and was pursued by the police. But when aprehended, he was let go, scot free. What gives? Zebuhr was a well respected magna cum laude graduate student and campus leader at Clemson University, where he handed out copies of Loose Change.
This week, another mysterious death, this time, someone I met recently - Paul Vigay, an IT consultant who recently put up a 9/11 website (google his name and you will see what I mean). He went out for a walk and was found a day later, washed up in the sea. No suicide note, a happy home life with a long term partner, no financial worries. Did he really decide to go for a swim in the chilly February waters off the south coast of England? Or were the comments on his site, include a number about intel service torture of suspects (the latest is that these goons were behind pulling out finger nails) too much for the CIA, whose long arm has lawlessly extended itself into so many other countries?
In addition to the mysterious deaths, there are the incidents of harrassment, including William Rodriguez's delay by Homeland Security when he was en route to the UK to discuss all this. Why would Homeland Security not want to allow him to leave the country - the hero of 9/11? 9/11 heroes, 9/11 widows, 9/11 sceptics, these seem to be the target of our security forces - who are perhaps inspired by the words of the MSNBC anchormen who asked that 9/11 sceptics be tasered, arrested, and sent to secret camps in Eastern Europe; one of these was none other than former (as in, had to leave office when the dead body of a woman was discovered in his office) US Congressman Joe Scarborough. Tasered, arrested, and sent to secret camps; or maybe just killed. This is the reality that the coward press does not report. They would rather put nuclear power stations in your backyard, which, as one environmentalist noted, are accidents waiting to happen. And accidents do happen, in a rather disproportionate proportion to those who ask awkward questions.

DEVIL IN THE DETAILS

Image right was sent to me by the actor Mike Stranger. It is an obscure photo of the face of satan in the WTC, which I remember hearing about as an image captured by a Philadelphia paper, but have not seen till today. So here it is.

One wonders who else was in the picture that we do not see, I mean, why where there explosions in the building BEFORE a plane ever hit? That fact is well known as it caused Felipe David to be taken to hospital after being rescued by William Rodriguez just before the first plane hit the North Tower. After 13 weeks in a coma, David woke up to remember his rescuer, who was by now famous for saving hundreds of others. Rodriguez spent two years talking to the government about what he saw, including further explosions in the tower. When he realised he was being ignored and that the whole damn thing was a whitewash, he went public. Ever since people have been realising that it was an inside job. Except, of course, for people like Homeland Security. But now maybe they can get the facts, as they trawl this site on occasion, so let's hope they catch on. Yesterday they highlighted the words "department" and "security", and got lots of off topic posts, so I am formulating this one for them to read. What else to they do all day? Where is bin Laden? How many billions are spent on these spooks to read obscure hemp sites run by sarcastic iconoclasts with no criminal record and no criminal intent, when they ought to be finding the people who really did 9/11 - hint, the evidence points to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where the face of one of the inhabitants' does bear a resemblance to the one above.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Image left is William Rodriguez, the hero of 9/11 who has been speaking out about suppression of key evidence in the collapse of the buildings. With him is Sagar Shah, wearing a Hemporium hemp shirt, and holding the master key, which William used on 9/11 to save the lives of hundreds of people, at great risk to his own.

Hemp for Victory is dedicated to him as his story, like hemp, is something that powers that be (thanks to a dodgy supreme court) are not willing to have aired.

William will be back in London next month to tell his story, and again we await the press to listen to the truth. Some of the loudmouths in the 4th estate are especially derisive of William and anyone trying to get them to look at the facts, but we know damn well where they would have been on 9/11 had they been on the ground floor of the North Tower as William was...they would have hauled their sissy a**es out the door and only looked back to get a story and sell it to their editor. And these days, what with more Hearsts and Murdochs getting control of the press, we can expect very little truth on either 9/11 or hemp.

KEY EVIDENCE

The face in the photo may be familiar to many, as it is that of William Rodriguez, the last man out of the WTC on 9/11. He was in the position to be the first, but ran back in to unlock crucial fire doors with his master key. The other 4 people with this key buggered off and no one knows their names to this day.

He was made a hero for saving hundreds of lives, but when the US government heard his eyewitness accounts of explosions in the buildings, they turned their back on him and be became homeless, after 19 years' work in the complex. Hundreds of others backed his story up however, including many NYC firefighters. Scientific analysis of the amazing way in which the towers fell, including Tower 7 which was not hit by a plane, shows that there was a weakening of the structres lower down and that it was not due to aviation fuel burning at the top. Seismograph records show this quite clearly, and the video footage taken by Rick Siegel from the New Jersey shore corraborate this as well.

Since 2004 he has done four speaking tours of the UK, and always elicits a reaction. Some in the press shun him because they cannot argue with him, so they sit back and take silly pot shots at him and other 9/11 survivors who can talk first hand about what really happened, not what the press thinks they ought to tell us. The BBC, for instance, told us about the collapse of Tower 7 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT HAPPENED! How did they just happen to know? They rambled on about it being a weak building when in fact it was doubly reinforced so as to facilitate joining floors for large commercial tenants. Much as one would like to see any of these silly reporters going face to face, man to man with Rodriguez, this isn't going to happen. Johann Hari, George Monbiot and their ilk are safely esconced behind a desk in Pressland.

Rodriguez, on the other hand, shows his face and stands by what he says. He will be saying it on Monday, 9 July, at the Indian YMCA in Fitzroy Square, London. Join us at 7pm in the Mahatma Ghandi Room for an exciting evening with Rodriguez, to whom I have chosen to dedicate Hemp for Victory. This event is free and open to the public, and to any journalists who dare stick their head above the parapet.

THE COTTON WEARING, 4X4 DRIVING GUARDIAN READERS

Alarms went off this weekend as I leafed through the Guardian on Saturday. As usual, I could find no mention of hemp (although they did a full page feature on hemp and Hemp for Victory in September, 2006). Neither was there much mention of Muesli or sandals. The new improved Guardian was, however, awash with ads for 4x4s and other gas guzzlers. With full page ads or spreads, serious money is passing hands here. No wonder that they are printing the rather flawed science of George Monbiot and ignoring sound work by others much more qualified to take on these important issues. It seems they hardly have time to do any fact checking whatsoever, as this month they published rubbish about plans to close down the Serious Fraud Office. "There is absolutely no truth in your story," replied the Attorney General, Peter Goldsmith.

Maybe no truth, but lots of car ads, and it seems that the paper is now driven by Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki, Saab, Kia Motors, Freelander and Toyota. The Porsche people not only have an ad but a breezy editorial praising the 911. Trees are chopped down daily to promote 4x4s in this paper, which goes out of its way to call anyone questioning the US government on 9/11 a "gibbering idiot." Which, of course, includes a lot of people who work for the US government, they might look into the facts and wonder why senators, congressmen and military officers question the official story. Or they might talk to William Rodriguez, the eyewitness and hero who saved hundreds of lives by going back into the building at great risk to himself. In fact, he was interviewed by someone with a view to printing his account, but then it never appeared in print. Maybe there just wasn't room with all the 4x4 ads, promoting the automotive and mining industries, both part of or related to the military industrial complex.

So thanks, Guardian, but no thanks; next weekend I will look for another paper to read, and in fact today I found much more objective reading (and less car ads) in the Daily Mail. Two of their reporters are now questioning the so-called suicide of Dr. David Kelly, and later this week, it is expected that an interview with William Rodriguez will appear.

WILLIAM RODRIGUEZ

Last week William Rodriguez, the man who saved hundreds of lives on 9/11, was speaking in London, and we gave him a copy of Hemp for Victory, which is dedicated to him. His story, like the story of hemp, has been suppressed. Note, however, the photo left, which is indeed William Rodriguez, shaking hands with the man who so bravely defended America on 9/11 by reading a story about a pet goat... must have been a really good one. As W was reading the about the goat's splendid escapades, William was walking up the stairwells, trying to get everyone out. He could have been the first one out that morning, and he too could have read a story about a pet goat, but for some reason he decided to go into a burning building and use his master key to open the locked firedoors on each floor. For which he got a Congressional Medal of Honour, and who knows, maybe the president who presented this medal read to him some of the pet goat story. Just imagine, William could have told W a few things about what went on that day, and in return W could have said something like this: "Well you know Willy, just as you were helping the firemen to secure water and directing people to the stairwell, I got to the part about that goat stealing some children's apples. Yes, that was a good one. Too bad I was interrupted by Andrew Card at that point, but that didn't stop me. Just as you went on helping people to safety, I went on with my mission. I kept on reading."

One story that was not read at that meeting was the true story about bombs in the building and heavy machinery being secretly moved on the 34th floor. Oh no, the US government does not like those stories, because it means there are a lot of guilty goats running around the White House, some who killed 3,000 people that day in order to start a profitable war. So after initially welcoming William and putting him forward as a congressional candidate, they decided to blacklist him. "Hero Homeless" was the headline in one NY paper some months after the attacks, and the governor stepped in to help William. But not for long. His story, which is so well documented and vetted, is embarrassing to the real perpetrators and traitors who stand by W. Come hell or high water, and both did, they stood with their man, like the idiotic voters of Waterbury, Connecticut, who stood by Philip Giordano, even after he was caught using the Mayor's ofice to rape pre-teens.

William's story is being told to those who are willing to listen. The press in London boycotted him, as does the press in the US, because they are full of silly cowards, and there is always some story they'd rather print, be it Naomi Campbell or the pet goat.

But we're used to that, part of the hemp story is that William Randolph Hearst and every idiot journalist in the US blacklisted hemp and printed lies about it for years. This led to US dependency on oil, and made Saudi Arabia rich. If W was not so busy reading the tale of the goat, he might notice this.

William Rodriguez will be back in London in January 2007, when he will tell his tale to all and sundry, that is, those who are not afraid to listen. For information on this, check out the www.nineeleven.co.uk site.
