*911 TRUTH: WTC 7*

(from Botalerts on 911TruthAction-AT-yahoogroups.com):

Few people realize that a third World Trade Center building, number 7, collapsed on September 11th. It is undisputed that no plane hit this building, and yet it collapsed on 9/11. The government claims that building 7 collapsed due to fire. There are just 4 small problems with this theory: (1) the leaseholder of that building admitted on a nationally broadcast documentary that he had building 7 "pulled", a construction industry term for "intentionally demolished". (2) building 7 did in fact collapse in the exact same way that intentionally demolished buildings collapse, with puffs of "demolition squibs" shooting out right before the building neatly collapsed into its own footprint. (3) Photos show only very small fires in the building before it collapsed, probably less than 1/100th as intense as several other high-rise fires in Madrid and Los Angeles. And (4) a steel-frame building has NEVER collapsed solely due to fire before. (Botalerts)

*911 TRUTH: DAVID RAY GRIFFIN*

Professor Griffin argues that "omissions and distortions" in the report amount to a cover-up by government officials and says that the available evidence suggests that the Bush administration was complicit in the 9/11 attacks.

"...The foundation of the conflict is the recognition that the invasion of Iraq has become a strategic disaster for American imperialism.

"...How did this culture of filth start in America’s 'war on terror'? The institutionalised injustice which we have witnessed across the world, the vile American 'renditions' in which prisoners are freighted to countries where they can be roasted, electrified or, in Uzbekistan, cooked alive in fat? As Bob Herbert wrote in The New York Times, what seemed mind-boggling when the first pictures emerged from Abu Ghraib is now routine, typical of the abuse that has 'permeated the Bush administration’s operations'..."

*HISTORY*

(from HistoryDaily.com)

May 6, 2005 on this day:

In 1919, during the Paris peace conference following World War I, the victorious Allies disposed of the German colonies. By the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forced to acknowledge responsibility for the war and to agree to pay for the damage done to the Allies. In addition, she was forced to give up her colonial empire. Germany's colonies were transferred to Britain, France, New Zealand and Japan. However, these nations did not receive absolute sovereignty but held the former German colonies as mandates of the League of Nations. They were to give that body periodic accounts of their stewardship over their new territories.
