George Monbiot has proven to be another 9-11 leftwing gatekeeper, and has published a series of vitriolic hitpieces disguised as articles attacking the 9-11 Truth Movement for its temerity in challenging the US government Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT).

Ive written to Mr Monbiot, whose journalism ive usually admired for its intelligence, perception, wit etc, twice, and received no reply to my first, have written a second, based on new information. Here is that letter.

What made George Monbiot change his mind about 9-11?

To: mail@monbiot.com<\/a>



To Mr Monbiot,

I read your latest articles on 9-11. The nasty shrill

tone is so uncharacteristic of you and your usually

excellent journalism, that i wrote a letter to you not

long ago, for which i received no reply.

But a more serious aspect of this story is that you

once held view on 9-11 very similar to those in the

9-11 Truth movement. Did you actually write the

following:

'\"The more evidence US intelligence presents...the

less credible the story becomes.



\"First there was the car. A man had informed the

police, we were told, that he'd had a furious argument

with some suspicious looking Moslems in the parking

lot at Boston airport. He led the investigators to the

car, in which they found a copy of the Koran and a

flight manual in Arabic (Flight manuals are 'always'

in English), showing that these were the

fundamentalists who had hijacked the planes.



\"Now flying an aeroplane is not one of these things

you learn in the back of a car on the way to the

airport. Either you know how to do it or you don't.

\"Leaving the Koran unattended, a Moslem friend tells

me, is considered sinful.



\"And if you were about to perpetrate one of the

biggest terrorist outrages the world has ever seen,

would you draw attention to yourself by arguing over a

parking place?



\"Then there is the passport. The security services

claim that a passport belonging to one of the

hijackers was extracted from the rubble of the World

Trade Centre. This definitive identification might

help them to track the rest of the network.



\"We are being asked to believe that a paper document

from the cockpit of the first plane - the epicentre of

an inferno which vapourised steel - survived the

fireball and fell to the ground almost intact.\"When

presented with material like this, I can't help

suspecting that intelligence agents have assembled the

theory first, then sought the facts required to fit

it...



\"I think WE MIGHT HAVE SOME CAUSE TO REGARD THE NEW

EVIDENCE AGAINST BIN LADEN WITH A MEASURE OF

SCEPTICISM.\" Collateral repair Society

==================

Apparently, you did...So what made you change your

mind so drastically, as to lose all sense of

journalistic objetivity, in your poison-pen pieces on

9-11?
