Stйphane Dion dumps candidate for article on 9/11

Unionist, it wasn't only Lesley Hughes comments about Israel that got Hughes dumped, it was her specific reference to an Israeli business having advance warning of WTC attacks:

quote:

---

"Israeli businesses, which had offices in the Towers, vacated the premises a week before the attacks, breaking their lease to do it."

---

Its unfortunate Hughes made this statement because its not supported by the evidence. One of the many things to avoid in this minefield of an issue.

Further though, there was more to her being dropped than that comment. It was about her entire take on 9/11. As an example of the thing the Dion and the Libs seek to avoid aligning themselves, take the National Post's caustic [url=http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2008/09/27/...

Stйphane Dion was right to jettison Lesley Hughes, the Liberal candidate in the Winnipeg riding of Kildonan-St. Paul. Her poisonous views have no place in a major Canadian party.

Ms. Hughes, a former CBC radio host who until recently edited the socialist magazine Canadian Dimension, is sympathetic to the so-called 9/11 Truth Movement.

Ms. Hughes then went on to repeat a variation of the Internet canard that legions of Jews avoided death in the Twin Towers because the Mossad knew the attacks were coming and warned them: “Israeli businesses, which had offices in the Towers, vacated the premises a week before the attacks, breaking their lease to do it.”

---

This hit piece from NP also brought Bev Collins into the matter:

---

Even more damning was Collins’ participation in a creepy 2007 9/11 “truth” conference in Vancouver,..

Yet unlike Stйphane Dion, NDP leader Jack Layton has so far refused to cleanse his candidate ranks of a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.

If Mr. Layton wants to convince Canadians that the NDP is a truly mainstream party, he must strike Bev Collins from his candidate list.

---

I give Jack Layton full marks for his support of Bev Collins. In fact, I am aware of scores of people who may be changing their vote to NDP as a result.

The Cons are asking for Collins dismissal:

Jack Layton must renounce past links to 9/11 conspiracy movement and fire his candidate

Jack Layton and the Ottawa NDP must immediately renounce their links to the repugnant extremism of the so-called “9/11 Truth” conspiracy movement and fire candidate Bev Collins for her radical views, Conservative candidate James Moore said today.

Jack Layton is also a self-professed ‘friend’ of notorious 9/11 conspiracy theorist Barrie Zwicker, a self-styled documentary filmmaker who continues to advance the theory that the United States government was complicit in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

ALL [b]FOUR[/b] big money Liberal and Conservative parties in the U.S. and Canada support the phony war on terror.

And very few warmongering plutocrats in Canada or the U.S. dare question the validity of the reasons for military occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Canadian Michel Chossudovsky talks about [url=http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=10144]9-11 and the "American Inquisition"[/url]:

quote:

---

The legitimacy of the inquisition is not questioned. The "Global War on Terrorism" justifies a mammoth defense budget at the expense of health, education, and virtually every single category of (civilian) public expenditure.

The "Global War on Terrorism" requires "going after" the terrorists, using advanced weapons systems. It upholds a preemptive religious-like crusade against evil, which serves to obscure the real objectives of military action.

The lies underlying 9/11 are known and documented. The American people's acceptance of this crusade against evil is not based on any rational understanding or analysis of the facts.

America's inquisition is used to extend America's sphere of influence and justify military intervention, as part of an international campaign against "Islamic terrorists". Its ultimate objective, which is never mentioned in press reports, is territorial conquest and control over strategic resources.

---

Pffft, the CPC are only worried that she might beat out Dickie Harris and she must be close ort hey would not be screaming from a position that is legless considering they believe: 'crime is linked to "immigration" and that in order to prevent these "immigrants" from being even more heinious criminals we need to start locking them up at 14'.

I was actually quite disappointed that this connection was not made in the leader's debates. As it is quite obvious that these life sentences for the 14 year olds committing "serious" crimes is actually a racially based policy.

Collins and Hughes have ovarios. Big ones.

Stephane Harper and Steven Dion radiate impotence. Weak and ineffective leaders propped up by big money.

And I must admit I was surprised by Liz May's comments on the phony war in Afghanistan. We need more women in Ottawa for sure.

If you do have the answers, unionist, then there are several 9-11 Commission panelists and god knows how many other people around the world will want to hear from you. Because apparently neocons and embedded shadow gov officials were so powerful as to stymie a public enquiry, and 9-11 panelists and German high court justices not powerful enough to overrule U.S. "national security." Americans and Canadians have been told by several people involved that there were legitimate questions which went unanswered by the slip-shod 9-11 investigation leading to a highly questionable report. Justice delayed is justice denied. Millions of Canadians and Americans just want to know the truth, and that the reason for a global war on terror has more merit and legal substance than just the [url=http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=WRI20070... of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed[/url], tortured out of him after five years in an American military gulag. KSM is a mysterious man rumored to have held out under torture longer than any other alleged members of "al Qa'eda" held illegally at Guantanamo. Do you believe it, unionist? They will likely do a Jack Ruby on him, and then it really won't matter. False flag op complete and check mate.

Not being Jewish, I would not presume to say who is a true friend or false friend of the Jews.

But I see no heroes in the pretty well unbroken tragedy of the Middle East. Whether Rabin might have become the exception we will, unfortunately, never know. It would be nice to think there was, and is, some hope. Not this year, likely.

He's a writer for the Irrational Ghost, and he finds it a lot easier to write "Whatever Crazy George's team said goes, called it -stamped it" instead of doing some actual investigative news journalism himself. Never mentions the Pilots for 9-11 Truth, nor the U.S. Military officers for 9-11 Truth. No mention of the 9-11 Commission whistle blowers calling it a sham. Whatever our American friends and Crazy George the Second say must be considered gospel. Case closed!!

I'd still like to know how a columnist for a far left magazine like Canadian Dimensions ended up running as a candidate for the rightwing Liberal Party? Maybe she can write an article for the next issue of CD telling us all about how incredibly progressive Paul Martin was as Finance Minister.

from unionist's link:

quote:

The story claimed that Mossad had warned the U.S. government, including the CIA, that an attack on the Twin Towers was imminent; that it had also warned Israel nationals with offices in the Towers. Hughes commented that unfortunately they were the only ones to take these warnings seriously as they vacated the premises.

---

I've read similar elsewhere, and now I can't find it. But it said the Israeli's gave warnings to the CIA, which were said to deliver those warnings to the Bush WhiteHouse. They were ignored. The Israeli's claimed to have then appealed to the Russians to send warnings, hoping that country would add to the credibility of the warnings. Then, warnings were delivered from intel agencies from around the world. Still no response from the White House. The NSA and CIA have very many bloggers and internet spooks in their hire, too.

This wouldnt be the first time that the CIA-NSA ignored, or were told to stand down, while foreign operatives and assassins were sent to do dirty work on U.S. soil. They knew Pinochet's DINA agents were crawling all thru Washington leading up to Orlando Letelier's murder. Ruthless motherfuckers they are.

And boo-hiss to Ken Dryden

They think they can scare away anybody with the simple smear of anti-semitism. This is bigger than the Liberal Party. That party is all about not bucking our imperial masters, and certainly their's is not to question the American inquisition surrounding 9-11. The bad brown people did it, and that's all the world needs to know for the purpose of carrying on with a phony war on terror. Not now John we've got to get on with the film show!!

Here's a new one [url=http://www.l911t.com./]Lawyers for 9/11 Truth[/url]

[b]Why Lawyers for 9/11 Truth?[/b]

Lawyers are trained to value the Constitution and the rule of law.

We are trained to examine evidence and to spot cover-ups or inconsistencies in the evidence and bias in witnesses or decision-makers.

Attorneys are also experts in weighing conflicting evidence.

For all of the above reasons, many lawyers have concluded that the 9/11 Commission and other government examinations were wholly inadequate, and did not follow proper rules of evidence or procedure.

We are demanding an end to the 9/11 cover-up, and a full investigation by unbiased people with subpoena power . . . and the courage to demand that the Constitution and rule of law are followed, and all guilty persons held accountable for their actions.

But at the same time, you refuse to entertain any notion that Leslie Hughes may actually have tapped into a news story worthy of an investigative news journalists' pursuit of the truth.

[url=http://www.cmvt.com/]This is a subsidiary of an Israeli telecommunications company[/url] operating in the U.S. They sell high tech spying equipment to US law enforcement agencies for purposes of doing sophisticated wiretaps. No more alligator clips and some creepy guy on a phone poll outside, or even "Joe Turner" sneaking into a Bell central office switching centre to pull a caper. CIA-NSA spooks can now setup in any building in the country, and with a few keystrokes on a PC listen in to any phone conversation any where any time.

I don't know if Leslie Hughes mentions this company, but this is real scary stuff, unionist. "Conspiracy theorists" as you refer to thousands of people demanding and working pretty hard to force a legitimate enquiry, have claimed that 9-11 terrorists enjoyed intelligence contacts inside the U.S. leading up to 9-11. That was entirely feasible. The 9-11 Commish acknowledged that the apparently well organized terrorists had accessed security codes for communication for several U.S. state departments as well as Airforce One. That's amazing considering that no one U.S. government official had access to more than one of those classified departmental security codes at any given time. The countries Israel and Pakistan had classified status wrt the 9-11 investigation and but was never publicized until 9-11 truthers uncovered that themselves. Comverse Infosys.

[url=http://www.amdocs.com/Site/AmdocsCom.htm]amdocs[/url], another telecom company operating in the U.S. and with ties to the Israeli government, does the billing for over 90 percent of telephone companies in the U.S. and more worldwide. It is impossible to make a telephone call and not leave a record of it with amdoc. Telephone call records of the type amdocs produces were suspected of falling into the hands of foreign governments, specifically Israel, in the recent past. I don't care what anyone says, those are deregulation induced giant conflicts of interest, and it smells pretyy bad even without mentioning 9-11.
