Activist group London Truth Action are picketing the BBC from 12.00pm
to 8.00pm this Friday September 11. Reinvestigate 911 supports this
picket and calls on all who doubt the 9/11 official story to
assemble. Co-ordinators of Reinvestigate 911 will be available to
meet supporters and for media interviews between 4.00 and 6.00pm.

The BBC has reported that it intends to give a place on Question Time
to the right wing BNP, recognising its legal obligation under a rule
known as “due impartiality”. Reinvestigate 911 deplores the fact that
the BBC has ignored repeated requests to apply this rule to us.
Instead they have produced a series of programmes (The Conspiracy
Files) featuring wild speculation by radicals, half truths and
smears, while refusing mainstream 9/11 sceptics any right of reply.

It appears the BBC only airs doubts over the official 9/11 story when
they think they have evidence to refute them, evidence they present
uncritically without giving sceptics a chance to reply. The BBC
website still has an article rushed out soon after 9/11 quoting an
“expert” as saying the Twin Towers collapsed because the fires caused
the steel beams to melt, a view that has since been refuted by
scientists on both sides of the 9/11 debate. Another article contains
a structural diagram of the Twin Towers which entirely omits the
massive load bearing central columns.

More recently the BBC has failed to report on the peer reviewed paper
by Danish chemistry professor Niels Harrit, who has found highly
energetic thermate type nano-particles in several samples of dust
from Ground Zero in New York, an indication that explosives were
involved in the rapid collapse of the three buildings (WTC 7
collapsed in a similar symmetrical and rapid way to WTC 1 and 2 later
on the day of the attacks though it had not been hit by any
aircraft). The BBC de facto censorship has been maintained even after
Harrit flew to the UK and impressed a House of Commons meeting in July.

We are disturbed by the allegation from far right activist Martin
Webster that the BNP has done a backdoor deal to get access to the
media in return for the BNP dropping anti-Semitism and instead
targeting Muslims. The BNP’s support for Israel’s attacks on Gaza
seems to vindicate Webster’s theory. We call on the BBC to refute
this allegation and explain why due impartiality is applied to the
BNP but not to Reinvestigate 911.

FBI TRANSLATOR AND WHISTLEBLOWER: CIA WAS WORKING WITH BIN LADEN
RIGHT UP TO 9/11

At the heart of the official 9/11 story lies the assertion that the
CIA had cut off all contacts with alleged 9/11 godfather Osama bin
Laden years before the 9/11 attacks. This would be unusual behaviour
for an intelligence agency and there have been many allegations to
the contrary.

French mainstream media reported widely that in the weeks before 9/11
Osama bin Laden was in high level meetings with the local CIA station
officer in Dubai, under cover of receiving hospital treatment.
Unsurprisingly the doctor concerned refused to comment publicly and
US/UK media mostly failed to report the story.

Now the CIA/Al Qaeda link has been corroborated by whistleblower
Sibel Edmonds who was given the job of translating intercepts for the
FBI after 9/11. When she started to go public on the corruption and
double dealing she had become aware of through her work she was
gagged by the Bush White House, but that gag that has now been
lifted. Edmonds has distanced herself from the 9/11 truth movement,
so her recent statement is all the more significant: Osama bin Laden
was indeed in contact with the CIA right up to the 9/11 attacks. In
our view this alone should justify a new investigation into whether
Washington has been lying, and what else they may have been lying about.

The case of Ali Mohammed presents another problem for the official
story. Investigative journalist Peter Lance (Triple Cross, published
by Regan books) has established that Mohammed trained the 1993 World
Trade Centre bombers while working as a special forces instructor at
Fort Bragg, that he helped to train Osama Bin Laden’s personal
bodyguard and expedited his 1995 move from Sudan to Afghanistan after
the US government refused an offer from Sudan to extradite him to the US.

Many suspect the CIA/Al Qaeda ties did not end with 9/11. Respected
journalist Seymour Hersh reported that the Pentagon was sponsoring
radical Sunni expansion into Lebanon, and a few months later “Al
Qaeda in Lebanon” appeared .

JAPAN: DEMOCRATIC PARTY VICTORY PROPELS PROMINENT 9/11 SCEPTIC TO
GOVERNMENT BENCHES

One of the planet’s most prominent 9/11 sceptics and leader of
politicians for 9/11 truth, Yukihisa Fujita, is a senior government
Senator after the Democratic Party of Japan swept to power last week.
Fujita, a prominent supporter of humanitarian and peace issues, has
said that the Japanese government should not accept the official US
story without conducting its own investigation of 9/11. Unlike the
UK, where Michael Meacher was hounded by the media after writing that
the war on terror was a fraud, in Japan the media have been more even
handed, so it will be interesting to see what happens next.

DATE FIXED FOR SECOND COMMONS MEETING

The second Reinvestigate 911 Commons meeting has been fixed for
Monday November 2, following the success of the July meeting which
drew several MPs, peers and researchers (unlike most campaigns who
have lots of activists but no MPs present). Please ask your MP or any
peer you know to look out for their email invitation and come to the
meeting where a series of key speakers will be answering questions.
The goal is to confront the various smears we face and break the
media embargo on 911 doubts. Only those activists who are involved in
the lobbying effort will be invited to the meeting.

If you would like to get involved beyond lobbying your own MP (we
hope you will do that anyway) please contact us at
