US fury over UN expert's 9/11 'cover-up' claims
(AFP) – 12 hours ago
UNITED NATIONS — The United States on Tuesday demanded the sacking of a UN human rights expert for "noxious" comments claiming there had been a US cover-up over the September 11 attacks.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the comments by Richard Falk, UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, as "an affront" to the victims of the 2001 Al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington.
The US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, called Falk's views "despicable and deeply offensive" and said she had registered a protest and called for his dismissal.
Falk wrote in his personal blog on January 11 that there are "awkward gaps and contradictions in the official explanations" given for the attacks when hijacked jets crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.
He said there was "an apparent cover-up" by the US government over its knowledge of the attacks masterminded by Osama bin Laden.
Falk said mainstream US media had been "unwilling to acknowledge the well-evidenced doubts about the official version of the events: an Al-Qaeda operation with no foreknowledge by government officials."
The US ambassador said she was "appalled" and joined calls by other groups for his dismissal.
"Mr Falk endorses the slurs of conspiracy theorists who allege that the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were perpetrated and then covered up by the US government and media," she said in a statement.
"Mr Falk?s comments are despicable and deeply offensive, and I condemn them in the strongest terms. I have registered a strong protest with the UN on behalf of the United States."
"In my view, Mr Falk?s latest commentary is so noxious that it should finally be plain to all that he should no longer continue in his position on behalf of the UN," Rice said.
"The United States is deeply committed to the cause of human rights and believes that cause will be better advanced without Mr Falk and the distasteful sideshow he has chosen to create."
UN officials said that Falk is not appointed by Ban, but by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council. The council must decide Falk's future, they said.
Speaking in Geneva, the UN leader expressed shock over the comments in a speech to the UN Human Rights Council.
"I want to tell you clearly and directly. I condemn this sort of inflammatory rhetoric. It is preposterous -- an affront to the memory of the more than 3,000 people who died in that tragic attack," Ban said.
The US ambassador said the United States had already criticized what she called "Mr Falk?s one-sided and politicized approach to his work for the UN, including his failure to condemn deliberate human rights abuses by Hamas, but these blog comments are in another category altogether.
"I would note that US and many other diplomats walked out in protest in September 2010 when Iranian President Ahmadinejad made similarly slanderous remarks before the UN General Assembly."
The Iranian leader also appeared to cast doubt on the causes of the September 11 attacks in his speech to the General Assembly last year.

The vitriol thrown at truth-tellers is terrifying. Of course, terror is the favorite tactic of sociopaths. A shame so many of them got into positions of power in the US and UN. I hope the "human rights council" will live up to its name. We will see.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I reminded so at this time of Hitler's speeches to crowds?
The thing that pisses me off the most with these truth deniers is this line they use over and over and over again ad nauseum:
ReplyDelete“I want to tell you clearly and directly. I condemn this sort of inflammatory rhetoric. It is preposterous — an affront to the memory of the more than 3,000 people who died in that tragic attack,” Ban said.
What the hell does asking questions, which is all Falk is doing here, about the discrepancies of 9/11 have to do with "disrespecting" those that died that day? AND what idiots agree that that's the case? Don't we OWE it to the victims to honestly investigate what happened that day? I'm sure their souls aren't resting in peace until the truth is known.
Ban-Ki Moon and any other "officials" comments regarding the bogus "hijacker fairy-tale" of 9/11 solidifies their 'membership' in the propaganda group of Liars and gate-keepers of this most heinous psyop. Their position is duly noted.
ReplyDeleteIt is THEY who are an offense to the memory of those who died. The evidence of a cover-up has grown to gigantic proportions as you all well know. These gate-keepers of the Big Lie condemn themselves with their own words.
It's hard to imagine the truth turned more inside out than this shitstorm of lunacy.
ReplyDeleteFalk has been kicked around for telling other truths about that vile regime occupying Palestine as well...all of the nonsense walks hand in hand, like the whore with her trick into an alley where the pimp and his boys wait with thirsty gleaming blades.
The sphincters dialate and poison gasses fill the marble halls as hundreds of foul flatuals burble and bloom.
I was wondering why the TV had on that stupid lying National Geographic special on 9/11 yesterday. I went to visitate with my mom and it was on. I stood there thinking...
now why would this be on in the middle of January?

New York Times newspaper report, from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, stating that the reason why they launched the Infrared Astronomical Satellite was to detect the infrared light images emitting from this approaching brown dwarf star, this celestial dodge ball (of a mass estimated to be at least 1,000 Earth masses), which is now in our Solar System, menacing Earth, both electromagnetically and gravitationally.

Mystery Heavenly Body Discovered!
A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite.
So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby "protostar" that never got hot enough to become a star, a distant galaxy so young that it is still in the process of forming its first stars or a galaxy so shrouded in dust that none of the light cast by its stars ever gets through.
"All I can tell you is that we don't know what it is," Dr. Gerry Neugebauer, IRAS chief scientist for California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and director of the Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology said in an interview.
The most fascinating explanation of this mystery body, which is so cold it casts no light and has never been seen by optical telescopes on Earth or in space, is that it is a giant gaseous planet, as large as Jupiter and as close to Earth as 50 billion miles. While that may seem like a great distance in earthbound terms, it is a stone's throw in cosmological terms, so close in fact that it would be the nearest heavenly body to Earth beyond the outermost planet Pluto.
"If it is really that close, it would be a part of our solar system," said Dr. James Houck of Cornell University's Center for Radio Physics and Space Research and a member of the IRAS science team. "If it is that close, I don't know how the world's planetary scientists would even begin to classify it."
NASA Press Release 1992
"Unexplained deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune point to a large outer solar system body of 4 to 8 Earth's mass, on a highly tilted orbit, beyond 7 billion miles from the sun."

ReplyDeleteMossad ran 9/11 Arab "hijacker" terrorist operation
By Wayne Madsen
British intelligence reported in February 2002 that the Israeli Mossad ran the Arab hijacker cells that were later blamed by the U.S. government's 9/11 Commission for carrying out the aerial attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. WMR has received details of the British intelligence report which was suppressed by the government of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair.
A Mossad unit consisting of six Egyptian- and Yemeni-born Jews infiltrated "Al Qaeda" cells in Hamburg (the Atta-Mamoun Darkanzali cell), south Florida, and Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates in the months before 9/11. The Mossad not only infiltrated cells but began to run them and give them specific orders that would eventually culminate in their being on board four regularly-scheduled flights originating in Boston, Washington Dulles, and Newark, New Jersey on 9/11.
The Mossad infiltration team comprised six Israelis, comprising two cells of three agents, who all received special training at a Mossad base in the Negev Desert in their future control and handling of the "Al Qaeda" cells. One Mossad cell traveled to Amsterdam where they submitted to the operational control of the Mossad's Europe Station, which operates from the El Al complex at Schiphol International Airport. The three-man Mossad unit then traveled to Hamburg where it made contact with Mohammed Atta, who believed they were sent by Osama Bin Laden. In fact, they were sent by Ephraim Halevy, the chief of Mossad.
