Thanks, Graeme MacQueen

As ever, thanks for your reasoned and measured discussion, for taking the time to do this important work.

I think you're absolutely right to focus tightly on the BBC's 'prescient, crystal ball' reporting.

The devil is always in the detail.

If humanity and democracy are to advance, the details must not be allowed to slip down an Orwellian memory hole.

Your distinction between evidence-based fore-knowledge and action-based fore-knowledge is important.
There is NO evidence to suggest - given the unique, unprecedented nature of the WTC descent - that this could have been anticipated. There was no historical or scientific precedent.

Here's another analogy. Let's say a live-recording TV announcer at an important press conference, speaking to camera, tells us at 5pm that David Cameron's trousers have fallen down. Yet behind the reporter's left shoulder we see Cameron's trousers firmly in place as he speaks at the podium. This odd situation goes on for seven minutes, then the reporter's feed stutters and breaks off .

We find out later that 20 minutes after this reporter's words, Cameron's' trousers suddenly DID fall around his ankle, leaving the guy bare-assed.

Wouldn't we all clamour to get hold of the reporter and ask her precisely where she got thais extraordinary information from?

[For Cameron's trousers, substitute Britney Spear's bikini top. The astonishment would be the same.]

Your highlighting the NIST quote about WTC 7 is important. We should repeat this quote - and then repeat it again.

This is hubris of the first order. This info slip-up, played out for all to see in the mass media, emerges from hubristic over-reach.
As lady luck would have it, It turns out to be a useful portal to understanding what happened. that day.

I believe the BBC reporter Richard Porter said afterwards it was a 'cock-up' on the BBC Editors Blog. I understand it was blamed on 'a news feed' from a news agency.

What amazes me is that no team of investigative journalists ever quizzed this news agency to find the provenance of the press release.

I think the BBC website 911 archives (in general) need to be carefully scrutinised. I see graphics, scientific discussions and 'explanations' lodged there for posterity. Are they scientifically/ factually correct?

The BBC is beamed around the world and is respected as 'authoritative' and 'truthful'. People take what it says as 'the truth'.

In reality, it is embedded within a certain worldview and clearly vulnerable to the type of crystal ball 'cock-up' typified by Jane Standley here..

Perhaps Scientists for 911 Truth coud analyse the facts on this BBC site carefully and highlight the errors for us? We could then politely bring any errors to the attention of the BBC? Check the BBC's content here:

An utterly unexpected death foretold

The BBC's assertion that their astonishing peek into the future was 'an error' affirms a miracle.

Miracle = the suspension of causality and the known laws of the universe.

Yet another 'miracle' that occurred that day...

I failed to say that I liked your analogy of someone's death foretold 20 minutes early - after they'd hurt their knee. My analogy (particularly of Ms Spears) is admittedly weak by comparison.

My final comment: is made in a spirit of constructive criticism:

The audio is strong and clear - very good. The visuals are weak purely because the camera does not stay still. When the video is shaky it becomes a little harder to share.. Having said this, I am fully aware that 911 research is a grassroots (as opposed to funded astro-turf) movement and relies entirely on volunteers. I acknowledge this does not make things easy.

More Video of Hartford event

More Video of Hartford event

(most of it without annoying camera motion!)

Watch footage of the recent Hartford event, featuring Richard Gage, and many others. Very important presentations by Graeme MacQueen, Kevin Ryan, and Tony Szamboti. Only the Graeme MacQueen footage is shaky and only at the beginning.
