BBC/CNN WTC7 foreknowledge to Fluorescent Lighting - quite the journey

A Disturbance in the Force
So - from the Best of the Web section on today's SotT page - http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/signs/list_bestofweb - the question that comes to mind for me is why is this coming out now?

We have the DOW industrial average drop 500 points today - (largest single day drop since 2001, according to the AP article I just read) - and Cheney is present at a bombing in Afghanistan - unfortunately, not 'present' enough, since he's still alive. ;) We have increased escalation of bombings in Iraq. We have Putin caught 'off camera' saying that the U.S. is trigger happy (understatement of the century).

And we have the release of this footage from arguably the two most influencial television news stations on the planet that indicates that 'someone' was feeding the reporters information that no one could have known at that time - no one who was not connected to the perpetrators, that is.

Could they have fed them those stories so that, at a later date, they could reveal it, to prove more than just a little 'something' was amiss that day? Could someone be calling in their markers? Is someone in the NeoCon cabal misbehaving, and being threatened to 'get back in line'? Could this line of questioning sound more like a soap opera commercial?

I don't know, of course, but it sure seems like something - yet again - is 'up'.
 
Here's the BBC's trite response.

The 9/11 conspiracy theories are pretty well known by now. The BBC addressed them earlier this month with a documentary, The Conspiracy Files, shown within the UK.

Until now, I don't think we've been accused of being part of the conspiracy. But now some websites are using news footage from BBC World on September 11th 2001 to suggest we were actively participating in some sort of attempt to manipulate the audience. As a result, we're now getting lots of emails asking us to clarify our position. So here goes:

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.

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.

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.

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.


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... "
"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." He's refuting a claim that wasn't made. Clearly, the BBC was told that the building collapsed, not that it will collapse. The question is who told them. They didn't pull this information out of thin air and clearly they hadn't witnessed it yet.

I saw somewhere that CNN with a similar announcement has lost its tapes as well, but can't find the link anymore.

Here's a strange event on top of all the other strangeness going on.

Cheney jet leaves Singapore after repairs

US Vice President Dick Cheney, who visited Asia-Pacific allies Japan and Australia last week, left Singapore this afternoon after his plane underwent minor repairs and refuelled.

"This was the pre-planned, scheduled fuel stop," said his spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride. "We were not diverted," she added, following a comment by Australia's Prime Minister John Howard that Mr Cheney's plane had been diverted to Singapore because of a problem.

Ms McBride said there had been an issue with the electricity on the plane. Because of that, "a call was placed back to Sydney with the status", she said, adding the electrical problem did not cut off Mr Cheney's ability to communicate with the rest of the world.

The plane, which left Sydney's international airport at about 9am on Sunday (5 pm EST (2200 GMT) Saturday), arrived at Singapore's Paya Lebar air base at about 2pm Singapore time (0600 GMT), and took off again nearly two hours later.

Mr Cheney did not get off the plane in Singapore.

"The small mechanical problem has been fixed," an US embassy spokeswoman in Singapore said.

The problem had posed no safety issues and the aircraft was fine, the White House said earlier.

Mr Cheney had been visiting Australia as part of a trip to thank Washington's Iraq war allies Japan and Australia.

Concern about the flight first arose after Mr Cheney's plane had stopped en route to the runway. A mobile stairway was sent out to the plane but a door in the plane opened and an unidentified figure appeared in the hatchway and waved the stairway off, a Reuters photographer said.

The door was then closed and the plane proceeded to the runway and took off.

Ms McBride said the incident was "absolutely unrelated" to the electrical issue, adding the plane stopped because a passenger had alerted officials an item of luggage had been left in a vehicle. It was decided the item should be sent on another plane.

Mr Cheney arrived in Sydney late on Thursday. Anti-war protesters, who accuse him of being one of the main architects of the Iraq war, scuffled briefly with police on Thursday and Friday.
 
I am downloading the video now... but it occurred to me that the so-called "foreknowledge" could be a time zone difference.
 
Kes: The problem is revealed in the video, WTC7 can clearly be seen still standing behind the reporter in the NY office, and the video makes note of this.

Woah this is interesting and Joe's response is spot on. This looks like someone is prodding the Bushites, and they're reving up for war against Iran. The power-play here is very educational to observe. Mr Potter's response was, well... weak to say the least. It makes me wonder, why did he make such a response? The obvious answer is to 'fuel the fire' sotospeak, by responding he's made even more aware of the video then if he had remained silent on the issue. Which i think is the 'take home message'.

Edit: We do have a problem thou, many American's don't even realize WTC7 Collapsed, when i mentioned it to a friend i got a puzzled look and had to explain it. So I suppose this only further adds evidence that this is directed @ the Bushites as a warning of sorts. It's kinda sad to see all this research done, and offered freely, yet so many haven't even bothered to look for it.
 
The problem with that video is, as far as I can see, there is no time stamp on screen. We are taking it on faith that this broadcast really went out before WTC7 collapsed. Or am I missing something?

Also, I did a quick check on the site from which the clip was allegedly taken (a subdomain of archive.us). The directory that supposedly contained the video doesn't seem to be there now. Even stranger, looking around the other directories there, is that it just seems to be a sort of dumping ground for people's junk. How the hell did someone find that particular video in all of that?

One more thing. Archive.us is owned by a guy named Christian Zouzas (Gotus LLC), a Massachusetts real estate attorney who has the largest holding of .us domain names. Apparently, the guy figured out that there was money to be made buying up every good domain name he could find then waiting for people who want to buy them from him.

If you go to archive.us, you'll find that the only links that really work (at least when I visited the site) were links to government and FBI crime sites. All the archives seem to be empty. So, I've got to wonder just what all the archives on the subdomain are about and where they came from.

I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but something seems fishy about this video to me.
 
On the CNN tape, the reporter announces that - at that moment - it is 11:10 in the evening Jerusalem time which made it 4:10 NY time. The building didn't come down until 5:20 or thereabouts. And, you notice that he first announces that it has collapsed, then that shifts to is collapsing, to is probably going to collapse... and then he starts talking all around it because he looks at it and sees clearly that none of what he has just said is true and he wanders all over the place talking about it being on fire when it is clearly NOT on fire and all the smoke is coming from the collapsed towers behind it!

So that was really odd.
 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What else can one say to this.This is so serious.If id have predicted 20 minuits earlier Building 7 collapsing before it did id probably be in a room being tortured for information on how i know,who i know etc .This has to be seen by many people and the BBC had better give us a better explanation than the one given here...Gobsmacked!

Not much, other than the fact that, as blind psychic already said, throughout the course of both broadcasts, WTC7 can be seen standing proudly in the background. Yes indeed, even as both announcers stated that building 7 had "collapsed," the mysterious gravity-defying building was jumping up and down behind them shouting "ya boo, no I'm not"

:-)

currently 117 scathing comments posted on there. people are REALLY pissed off, some of them quite eloquently! rightly so.

I saved a snapshot of it all, in case the comments are um... mislaid. like the video footage ;)
 
I like this one:
Rewind for a moment to the first few statements in that broadcast...


ANCHOR:
'Now more on the latest building collapse in New York, you might have heard a few moments ago I was talking about the Salomon Brothers building collapsing, and INDEED It Has.'

[Comment 1. "INDEED it has"?. This anchor is very sure of himself. What has he been told and by whom when no one else will know for over 20 minutes?]

ANCHOR
'Apparently that is only a few hundred yards away from where the World Trade Center towers were, and it seems that this was not a result of a new attack, it was because the eh Building Had Been Weakened eh during this morning's attacks.'

[Comment 2. "The, eh, building had been weakened". Huh? How does he know to say what will become the official line?]

ANCHOR:
'We'll probably find out more now about that from our correspondent Jane Standley, "Jane what more can you tell us about the Salomon Brothers building and it's collapse?"'

JANE:
"Well, only really what you already know..."

[ 3. "What more can you tell us?"
"Well only really what you already know."

?? So the reporter knows what the anchor and newsroom know (and what nobody else knows)...that the building has Indeed collapsed, and that the building had been Weakened during the morning's attacks? ]


ps: You still use tapes in your newsroom??

Everyone else seems to have gone digital a long time ago.

http://broadcastengineering.com/newsrooms/broadcasting_newsroom_technology/

"As computing power increased in the 1990s and network technology became more reliable, news production systems were deployed, and the replacement of tape as a production medium began."
 
Interesting that the comment I wrote last night was not published by the BBC. I guess I said something that was so outrageous that they just couldn't publish it.

What was it?

Well, basically, I just included a link to the SOTT piece on the BBC and used the text from the SOTT piece on CNN with a link back to SOTT.

I wasn't really saying anything much more assertive than anything that is already being said there... except that I used the P word: psychopaths.

Now, THAT is a no-no.
