Pathetic five paragraph blog rebuttal does not answer questions as to source of report that Salomon Building was coming down, BBC claims tapes lost due to "cock-up" not conspiracy The BBC has been forced to respond to footage showing their correspondent reporting the collapse of WTC 7 before it fell on 9/11, claiming tapes from the day are somehow missing, and refusing to identify the source for their bizarre act of "clairvoyance" in accurately pre-empting the fall of Building 7. Here is the BBC's response to the questions about the footage that was unearthed yesterday, with my comments after each statement. 1. We're not part of a conspiracy. Nobody told us what to say or do on September 11th. We didn't get told in advance that buildings were going to fall down. We didn't receive press releases or scripts in advance of events happening. "We didn't get told in advance that buildings were going to fall down." If this is true, then how on earth did the BBC report the collapse of Building 7 before it happened? Psychic clairvoyance? Of course they were told that WTC 7 was coming down, just like the firefighters, police, first responders and CNN were told it was coming down. They had to have had a source for making such a claim. The BBC is acting like the naughty little boy who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. No one here is claiming the BBC are "part of the conspiracy," but their hideous penchant to just repeat what authorities tell them without even a cursory investigation (and with the Building they are telling us has collapsed mockingly filling the background shot of the report), is a damning indictment of their yellow journalism when it comes to 9/11. 2. In the chaos and confusion of the day, I'm quite sure we said things which turned out to be untrue or inaccurate - but at the time were based on the best information we had. We did what we always did - sourced our reports, used qualifying words like "apparently" or "it's reported" or "we're hearing" and constantly tried to check and double check the information we were receiving. How do "chaos and confusion" explain how the BBC reported on the collapse of a building, a collapse that happened "unexpectedly" according to their Conspiracy Files hit piece documentary, before it happened? In one breath the BBC is claiming they were not told of the impending collapse of the Building and in the next they are telling us that all their information is sourced. Which is it to be? Did the BBC have a source telling them the building was about to collapse or not? If not, how on earth could they pre-empt its fall? Do BBC reporters have access to a time machine? What was the source of this information? 3. Our reporter Jane Standley was in New York on the day of the attacks, and like everyone who was there, has the events seared on her mind. I've spoken to her today and unsurprisingly, she doesn't remember minute-by-minute what she said or did - like everybody else that day she was trying to make sense of what she was seeing; what she was being told; and what was being told to her by colleagues in London who were monitoring feeds and wires services. Trying to make sense of what she was being told? She obviously didn't make much sense of the fact that the Building she was reporting had collapsed was prominently standing behind her! Unfotunately, for a news organization that prides itself on accuracy and credibility, "she doesn't remember" just doesn't cut it as an excuse. BBC included a screenshot of yesterday's Prison Planet article in their brief response. 4. We no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage (for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy). So if someone has got a recording of our output, I'd love to get hold of it. We do have the tapes for our sister channel News 24, but they don't help clear up the issue one way or another. We are asked to believe that the world's premiere news organization has somehow lost all its tapes of perhaps the biggest news event of the past 60 years. This is a copout. Whether they have lost the tapes or not, the BBC simply doesn't want to verify one hundred per cent their monumental foul-up, because they know it would only increase the exposure of this issue and lead to further questions. What is there to clear up? The reporter is standing in front of the building while saying it has already collapsed! This is a blatant effort to try and placate people making complaints while refusing to admit a monumental faux pas that further undermines the BBC's credibility in the aftermath of the Conspiracy Files debacle. 5. If we reported the building had collapsed before it had done so, it would have been an error - no more than that. As one of the comments on You Tube says today "so the guy in the studio didn't quite know what was going on? Woah, that totally proves conspiracy... " So now the BBC are so devoid of answers, they have to enlist the help of some moronic comment on a You Tube blog? Instead of issuing official statements and seeking the advice of legal professionals they produce a cobbled together five paragraph blog and include the testimony of some moron on a You Tube comment board. Pathetic! Answer the question BBC - what was your source for reporting on multiple occasions that Building 7 had collapsed before it had collapsed, and identify the source that enabled the anchorman to comment that the building had collapsed due to it being weakened, an explanation still unanswered by NIST five and a half years later. If you had reported the collapse of the twin towers before it happened would that have been just an error too? This "error" translated as $800 million plus in insurance bounty for Larry Silverstein - I'm sure Industrial Risk Insurers would be interested to know the source of your "error." In addition, two seperate sources reported that Secret Service Agent Craig Miller died as a result of the collapse of Building 7. Do you think he would have been interested in the "error" that led to your correspondent reporting the building's downfall in advance?

Who wants to go first?
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush And the coverup begins folks. Nothing to see here.
As Americans tolerate liars, thieves, and traitors to govern them, they get exactly the government they deserve. If the American People were truly interested in having a representational republic, and had the desire for justice and good governance, they would have impeached, incarcerated, and imprisoned every elected official in office on September 12th, 2001. However, they should have done it in 1913, before World War I, that way, the treason wouldn't have become such a cancer as to become inoperable.
bullseye!

Bush Then you would think that they would be VERY interested in getting a copy of what was posted on the internet yesterday instead of busting their asses to have it yanked off of every site every fucking time it was posted! Did those shit-for-brains at the BBC even read their lame reply before they send it out?!
"First I'm gonna bother everybody I meet, and then I'll probably go home and get drunk."
All that's missing now is Arlen Specter promising to have hearings.

Here's the kicker. Wait and see how many US newsfeeds get squelched, and that's when you know the fix is in. If you can control the past, you can control the future.

Wall Street will be interesting tommorow ;)
The brits are tearing the BBC a new one on that site. Not a single post is in their defense.

Like any of news service here is going to touch it. GE and Westinghouse don't want to lose their defense contracts. If by some chance that it does happen, expect other "events" to miraculously come to the rescue and change the subject. What a great time to bomb Iran!

Richard Porter is the Head of News at BBC World. Richard began his journalism career in local newspapers before joining the BBC in 1989. He worked for BBC Nations and Regions in Bristol, Newcastle, Leeds and, finally, Manchester, where he was News and Current Affairs Editor. He joined BBC News 24 in 1997, six months ahead of its launch, and edited weekend and breakfast programmes. Two years later he was made Senior Editor of BBC News 24, responsible for 10 hours of news coverage every day. In 2001, Richard was made Editor of BBC ONE’s Breakfast programme, and during this time covered major news stories such as the British General Election 2001, the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, and the Iraq war. In 2004 he joined BBC World as Editorial Director, overseeing its editorial strategy as well as all its commissioning and scheduling. In 2005 he became the channel's Head of News, taking responsibility for expanding and modernising its live news output. Richard lives in North London and has five children.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! Verdict: "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may know peace." -Thomas Paine In a CorporoFascist capitalist society, there is no money in peace, freedom, or a healthy population, and therefore, no incentive to achieve these. Kind of like, what a great day to have a small economic collapse, or market correction to occupy the minds of the people, as opposed to other things of a treasonous nature.

I kind of think he'd liked to have known what was coming.
Treason is commonplace, and an accepted behavior in the halls of Congress, the senate, and of course, the oval office. Betrayal of your people may not be rebuked on earth, but it will indeed be punished when you are burning in hell.
Well, just wait until Prince CheeseDick gets whacked by the "Iranians" & we'll see how many blokes come to the defence of Mother England.
He should have paid attention to how expendable other members of his family became, and for less of a reason.

Stocks Have Worst Day Since 9/11 Attacks "I think that the market was prepared to pull back. The constellation of issues that were worrying the market came to a head," said Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at The Hartford. Still, the market will need to pull back further before its decline can officially be called a correction, which is considered a 10 percent decline in a bull market. Just a week ago, the Dow had reached new closing and trading highs, rising as high as 12,795.92; it's now down 4.5 percent from that level. The Dow's decline accelerated at a faster than normal pace during the afternoon after a computer glitch kept some trades from being immediately reflected in the index of 30 blue chip stocks. Dow Jones & Co., the media company which manages the flagship index, said the problem occurred after it was discovered computers were not properly calculating trades, prompting a switch to a backup computer.
The comments indicate a public that is as upset about the "lost tapes" of this Pearl Harbor event, as they are about the prior knowledge of the WTC7 fall, as they are about the attempt to belittle and shrug off the whole ugly affair. And they are not buying any of it. Good for them!
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush I was wondering whether there was a simple explanation for the discrepancy like confusion about time zones. Pretty clearly, there is no such simple explanation, or the BBC would not have come up with such a lame story.
Katrina was America's Chernobyl.
Yep. I long for the day when the traitors and murderers in our midst swing from the gallows.

Bush BBC strikes Google-YouTube deal Some media firms, most prominently Viacom, have recently demanded that YouTube removes tens of thousands of clips from the site that they own the copyright for. Mr Highfield said the BBC would not be hunting down all BBC-copyrighted clips already uploaded by YouTube members - although it would reserve the right to swap poor quality clips with the real thing, or to have content removed that infringed other people's copyright, like sport, or that had been edited or altered in a way that would damage the BBC's brand. "We don't want to be overzealous, a lot of the material on YouTube is good promotional content for us," he said. YouTube was founded in February 2005 and was bought by Google in November last year for $1.65bn.
