Critics are calling for the resignation of a U.N. official who publicly supports investigating theories that the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were an "inside job." Richard Falk, the special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, investigates alleged Israeli violations of human rights law for the U.N.'s Human Rights Council. But the former Princeton professor would also like to investigate whether "some sort of controlled explosion from within" destroyed the Twin Towers, he told FOXNews.com. "I do think there are questions that haven't been answered, questions about the way the buildings collapsed and the failure to heed a variety of signals that there was danger coming," Falk said. "I think [his beliefs are] fruitcake city, but among many delegations to the U.N. it's probably the conventional wisdom," said John Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. known for his straight talk on U.N. hypocrisy. But Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch, a non-governmental organization that monitors the U.N., wants Falk removed from his job. "He should resign," said Neuer, who raised concerns about Falk's ability to be an objective observer. Neuer has also criticized Falk for being biased against Israel. "If he were a principled person he would recognize the fact that he has very extreme views," Neuer said. In 2004, Falk wrote the forward to "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11," a book written by David Ray Griffin, a Sept. 11 conspiracy theorist. Griffin's book argues that the Twin Towers may have been brought down by a "controlled demolition" — not by two airliners hijacked by Al Qaeda operatives — and that the Pentagon may not have been hit by a plane at all. Griffin "doesn't take a so-called conspiracy view and he raises questions that haven't been answered," Falk told FOXNews.com. "I think [the book] deserved to be published and I have no regrets about that." Falk said that while he supports alternative theories behind the World Trade Center attack, he doesn't claim the U.S. government was responsible. "I'm an agnostic on the issue," he said. But Bolton is hardly agnostic on the issue of Falk's views. "It's just an example of the inmates running the asylum," Bolton said. "It's a particularly graphic example for Americans, but this is not an aberration — this is, unfortunately, typical of much of what goes on" at the U.N. A spokesman for the office of Louise Arbour, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, declined to comment on Falk. "As a matter of practice, we do not offer commentaries on individual special rapporteurs," wrote spokesman Rupert Colville in an e-mail to FOXNews.com. "There are some 27 of them in all, and if we started making character judgments on one or two of them, it would never stop. They are mandated to do their work by the Human Rights Council." But Falk's support for Sept. 11 conspiracy theories isn't the only thing that has critics up in arms. In an online article for the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research last year, Falk — prior to his appointment as an unbiased human rights investigator — compared Israeli actions in Gaza to the Nazi treatment of Jews. This may have led to his appointment as the rapporteur for the Palestinian territories, Bolton said. "He was picked for a reason, and the reason is not to have an objective assessment — the objective is to find more ammunition to go after Israel," Bolton said. Neuer said Falk is not the only special rapporteur to bring a bias to the job. "You have people who are, I would say, a wolf in sheep's clothing who are implementing the agenda of dictatorships," he said. "It's tragic because there are human rights victims around the world who could greatly benefit from a champion, including in the Middle East. ... "Many of the rapporteurs do good work, do important work, report on how countries are respecting or not respecting laws around the world," Neuer said. Falk maintained he was an appropriate choice for the job. "I think I'm an informed observer and I'm unbiased in the sense that I have always done the best to tell the truth as I see it," he said. Despite his calls for Falk's resignation, Neuer did not expect him to be censured or removed. "I don't think there's going to be any move in the council to do anything about his appointment," he said. Falk, asked whether he'd be surprised if further investigations revealed the U.S. government's role in Sept. 11, told FOXNews.com, "Yes, I'd be surprised — not shocked but surprised." He then reconsidered, and said: "No, I'd be shocked."

Well, there's enough there to read that says that's not true.
Fuck you. Nobody can read your crap and not see you go off on tangents of hatred of people. This quote from you is obviously full of crap. You think we cannot figure out what you say and how you do so is marinated in the oil of hatred of folks. We are smarter then that Ricky, so cut the shit. Stop sniveling out parsed out rhetorical lies like you were some kind of Bill Clinton, you ain't fooling a soul. You are way more transparent then you know. Dick head.
You call me a jew hater because I wiped the floor with your zionist-apologist ass.
Mickey was a mouse. Zippy was a pinhead. Fritz the Cat was a sex maniac.
All organized religion is a fraud magnet growing stronger over time. All religion is a flawed invention of flawed imagination, regardless of how useful it is to the believer. What's that make me? Would you say that makes me a jew-hater? If so, then so be it. The only problem with your opinion is most people accept the concept of "secular jews" and I do not know the philosophies of secular jews from a hole in the ground. I have no sense of there being any uniting principles within that scope, thus no reason to have an opinion. I also am suspicious of all strangers. By the way, you're a lunatic.
I suspect Mosad had a hand in helping organize the hijackers.
I shall not vote for evil, lesser or otherwise.
Uh huh. Close your eyes, click your heels, and tell that to yourself three times, maybe it'll come true in your mind at least.
Send this thread to your mom, she'll be so proud of her little boy.
99%? Must be taken from the last annual report of the ADL. I am tired of correcting that boy and those clowns. Maybe they're right and the surveys are wrong.

If that were the case then they would be Christians today, not still followers of a God they can't even spell his name for fear. No, today's Judaism is a Satanic cult, whether they go by the Talmud or they claim only the Torah. They might not all support a state of Israel at this time, but they do indeed all support a state of Israel at some time. The state they are looking for is a Earthly kingdom, not the Heavenly Kingdom Jesus told them about. They have rejected Jesus as the Son of God, they are waiting on the Anti-Christ now, thinking he will be their savior. Pretending that all that go by the term "Jew" today are not destined for hell is not doing them any favors.
God is always good!
(Hasbara) Israel Reaction Center Thank you for the links. Very interesting, I hadn't seen any of that before. Forgive me, but to the best of my memory, I don't recall 'nobody' seeming like that, though. Then I just looked over all his/her posts to me and I don't see anything like disinfo style there. Sorry, I just don't see it. In fact, nobody has thinking similar to both of you as best as I can tell. Please feel free to correct me if I'm missing something here. Now Turtle. That guy's problematic. hahaha

Pretending that all that go by the term "Jew" today are not destined for hell is not doing them any favors. I disagree. I believe it's dangerous if not counterproductive to over-generalize like that. Much of the same can be said about many of the members of all religions. What did you think of those links at #97?
The reliance on "argumentum ad hominem" is one and the other being the accusation of everybody being a Zionist.

I don't generate posts that suggest zionists are not at the "top" of the 9/11 conspiracy.
And they feel that you have rejected the one true God, and have chosen to worship an idol. You are basically a heathen idol worshipper in their eyes. You do remember that Jesus' father is God, don't you? If you choose to believe that a man who walked the Earth is God himself, that is your choice. But don't condemn those who choose to believe in God Himself.
True, he'd need one first... LOL
Were zionists also not at the "top" of the decision to try to sink the USS Liberty, just as you say they were not at the "top" on running 9/11?
Who ordered the attack, and why did LBJ allow it? You like to simply things by falling to the usual, "they did it because they are zionists", but more often than not it's not quite that simple.
So, zionists were at the "top" of both attacks, the USS Liberty and 9/11, yet they didn't do these things because they were zionists but for some other reason(s)? The other reason(s), are they supposedly benelovent? I just don't have much patience for this psychobabbly touchy-feely get-inside-their-minds stuff you appear to be selling.
Name one good zionist.
Name the people that ordered 9/11, and name the people that ordered the attack on the USS Liberty.
All zionists, doing it for zion. Name one good vocal zionist.
Do you believe Israeli forces attempted to sink the USS Liberty so that it could be blamed on someone else?
The USS Liberty was attacked by Israelis on orders from Israelis. Need actual names to make a point?
the people who
I won't say these are not good questions. My opinion is there was no significant involvement of US officials, at least not very high up the command chain, in the planning itself of the attack on the USS Liberty. I do not believe it was initially an accident and any questions as to the loyalties of those Israelis who planned and carried it out are not worth considering. Involvement, or at least culpability, of zionist-oriented US officals in 9/11 goes practically to the top.
I do not wish to give the impression that in these cases I believe the plannings are so much more significant an offense than are the coverups, by the way. Zionists on both ends, nonetheless.
Yes, okay, thank you.
Yes, okay, thank you.
nobody was calling Original_Intent and myself zionists, zionist apologists, and other such things. He also likes to call anyone reporting any recent developments on 9/11 similar names.
Figure out another way to bump this, I'm tired of your baseless baloney.
Out for now.
Let's say I believe you've both shown yourselves to be easy prey to someone wishing to use you to assist the zionist agenda. Part of that is your incorporation of religious beliefs into your posts. I don't want to see my miracles mixed in with my physics, you know what I mean? There seems to be a pattern that spreads beyond that, however. Perhaps it is innate orneryness there, coupled with a resentment of secular views. I doubt it, though. No, you guys seem to be on a mission from the unsaid. Stupidity vs. cupidity, who knows why you're all so messed up here. Not me. You could be trolling for thread bumps in the spirit of keeping hope alive for all I know. It's not going to be enjoyable if you want to keep me involved. You certainly don't make a good apologist where you want to suggest mossad was probably involved. But then, you have to have some cover to use to your advantage here, and you've apparently not sacrificed any supposed "string pullers," in any way, in the process of gaining it.
Where have I ever done that? You are the one that frequently uses the term zionist, which is a person who seeks to build up Israel founded upon religious/political beliefs.
I'm talking about pro-religious beliefs being the problem and talking about all your posts, not just this thread. You've already asked me about "spawn of satan" or some such stuff, on this thread. Many of your posts on this thread incorporate religious topics needlessly or overbroadly, it seems. I think it's been worse on other threads. It's pathetic, really. Your pal is even more tedious.
Completely aside from the joys of mixing politics with religion, your opinion on what zionism is isn't shared by all Israelis, which, now that I think of it, alleviates part of the alleged joy. But anyway, religious or secular, it doesn't matter too much when the politics and the acts are the problem.
You know you're full of it and that you're the that has been dragging your religious terminology from thread to thread, not I. You are simply projecting your own faults onto others.
