Indy Media Watch

UK Indymedia brings another 9/11 conspiracy piece to the forefront. Griffin Seals Case for 9/11 WTC Demolition, Calls on NY Times to End Coverup details how:

In two speeches to overflow crowds in New York last weekend, notable theologian David Ray Griffin argued that recently revealed evidence seals the case that the Twin Towers and WTC-7 were destroyed by controlled demolition with explosives. Despite the many enduring mysteries of the 9/11 attacks, Dr. Griffin concluded, "It is already possible to know, beyond a reasonable doubt, one very important thing: the destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by terrorists within our own government."

We'll take your word for it naturally.

And who are these guys?

This weekend's events were sponsored by NY911truth.org, WBAI and the Muslim-Christian-Jewish Alliance for 9/11 Truth

The what? But surely anyone who reads Indymedia and is interested in the 'truth' about 9/11 would know it was all a big Jewish plot, so why all of a sudden are there Jews involved in an anti-conspiracy Alliance?

Well, they're not exactly... Visiting the 'Who are We' page of the MUJCA Website gives some detail:

MUJCA-NET was founded by Dr. Kevin Barrett of Madison, Wisconsin, a scholar of Islam and literature, and Imam Faiz Khan M.D. of New York City, a 9/11 first responder who teaches at Long Island Jewish Hospital. Both have been appalled by 9/11 and the ever-increasing violence it has brought us, and both are particularly unhappy with the silence of their fellow Muslims on 9/11 truth.

Aha! So by working at the Long Island Jewish Hospital, you are Jewish all of a sudden? That explains the third group in this so-called 'alliance'. But wait, there's more.

The other endorsers of MUJCA-NET do not necessarily agree with all of the co-founders’positions. (Indeed, the co-founders themselves do not hold precisely identical views on everything.) But all of us at MUJCA-NET recognize that the gaping holes in the official 9/11 story mandate a new and genuine investigation aimed specifically at either confirming or refuting allegations of official complicity.

Gee, I wonder why others might not agree. Who are some of these 'other endorsers'?

Dr. Faiz Khan is a Muslim scholar and educator as well as an M.D. with a dual specialty in emergency and internal medicine. He has been living and working in New York City since 1969. A 9/11 first responder, he has been in the forefront of post-9/11 peace and education efforts in New York and elsewhere. He is well-known as a staunchly outspoken opponent of terror in all its guises, and has participated in two memorial services for the victims of 9/11, as well as the New York group Muslims Against Terrorism. Dr. Khan is the author of “9/11: An Islamic Perspective” published by Belief Net in their selection of essays on religion and 9/11. An Assistant Imam at two New York area mosques, Dr. Kahn has treated subjects related to Islam, politics, and 9/11 at numerous speaking engagements and publications.

Read Dr. Khan's immediate response to 9/11 , written before compelling evidence surfaced that it was an inside job.

Compelling evidence? Okaaaay. Who else?

Israel Shamir, Russian-Israeli intellectual, writer, translator and journalist, is one of Israel’s leading peace activists. The decendent of a rabbi from Palestine, and an IDF veteran of the 1973 war, Shamir changed languages and traded in his literary-intellectual hat to become an activist in response to the terrible events of 2001.

Not so fast. Israel Shamir is also described as a conspiracy theorist antisemite, who lives in Sweden and changed his name to Israel Shamir. Others (including the London Times) put it more bluntly: He's a Swedish Neo-Nazi that has become the darling of the Extreme Left and Extreme Right.

But with a name like "Israel Shamir" he's irresistible wouldn't you say?

Some alliance...

Coming soon, "The Muslim and Jewish Alliance for the eradication of Jews"...
