News & Events - October 2007

Do you think that any American citizen knew what was going to happen on September 11, 2001?

And, if so, do you think they were in positions of government, leadership, or big business?

I am not a conspiricy theorist, but lately I've been watching films like Syriana, Farenheight 911, etc. And with all the corruption these days you have to wonder.

Its true that lots of people predicted attacks of the nature that took place on 9/11. But did anyone know about those specific attacks?

Bill O'Reilly says so, and as a liberal Democrat who teaches in NYC, I shocked to say I agree with him.

Most of us here have seen the taped interview. Did anyone see Kate crying uncontrolably? Apparently this media outlet thinks so
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk:80/news/uk-world-news/2007/10/25/kate-mccann-breaks-down-in-tv-interview-86908-20004989/

No wonder there is so much confusion in this investigation. The media can say whatever they want, INCLUDING LIES TO SELL PAPERS, but the accused are made to stand silent.
What a bunch of mixed up politics they have in Portugal.

Kate and Gerry were advised by their 'Private Detectives' to appear on Spanish TV ahead of the launch of the McCanns Spanish vigilante hotline.

But thanks to Kate McCanns awful acting the TV show has bombed in Spain with 70% believing that the McCanns are hiding something, and a fresh gusto of wrath from the Portuguese press meaning hardly any Portuguese now believe the McCanns.

In addition to this the same Private Detectives came up with a sketch from Jane Tanners earlier rantings, that has turned them into a laughing stock, I've lost count of the amount of people I have seen laughing at the sketch.

After this fiasco, should Kate and Gerry sack their entire Private Detective Team ?

Do you think that she was abducted or killed? Might she still be alive? Do you think that her parents are guilty?

California burned_something similar to Katrina, I guess_does this mean that Fox can be impartial after all, and really report the news how it is? Because I don't recall reading this anywhere else. Of course other news outlets must be reporting it, but I'm basically at the computer and not much watch TV now.

Why do terrorists hate the U.S. so much they will commit suicide to attack the U.S.? Like the 9-11 hijackers.

I was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and a man came on the radio who had a dillema. His child asked him last night while watching the news:

"How come people in Katrina stole from stores and ran crazy while people in SO Cal aren't? What's the difference."

The father responded by saying, "Well, sometimes the government treats certain groups of people more unfairly than others."

If you were this child's father/mother, what would you have answered? Do you think his answer a good one? Please write all your thoughts. I found this extremely interesting.

"The International Primatological Society in Hainan, China, focuses on the plight of the 25 most endangered primates, including China's Hainan gibbon, of which only 17 remain.

You could fit all the surviving members of the 25 species in a single football stadium; that's how few of them remain on Earth today,"

First of all, that tokin snub-nosed monkey is one cute little primate!

I need honest opinions. Do you care about extinct animals? Is it a waste to dedicate resources to get these species off the endangered list?

would the current administration allow the planner of the attacks in YEMEN to go into house arrest now???

Isn't this worse? If this man is a terrorist, why isn't he in Guantanamo, or anywhere else, under American rule?

Or has the word hero been thrown around so much that New York firefighters are really the only public servants the media wants "HEROES" to be identified with.

What are we to make of the latest spin the media and Clarence Mitchell are spoonfeeding us.

Yet another witness has now discredited Jane Tanner's account of the night of 3rd of May.

Add this witness to Gerry McCann and Jeremy Wilkins - makes 3 people who DIDN'T see her.

Was she wearing her invisibility cloak or did she really see the greasy haired man with his bundle, sorry little blond girl in Madeleine's pjs.

I asked for £300 and the cash machine only gave me £200. I've contacted the company (it's after hours, so no help there) but what hope do I have of getting my money back? My bank stgatement shows that £300 was withdrawn.
