Which newspaper was going to be the first to break the story that 9 11 was 'an inside job'?

Which newspaper was going to gain a world exclusive?

Which newspaer?

To my surprise it was The Observer.

On 27 Oct 02 the Observer gave us four, yes four, full sized pages detailing the arguments.

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/enemywithin. html

The article pieced together all the evidence which had previously appeared in bits and pieces in various media outlets, from Newsnight to Newsweek.

According to the writer, it appears that the Bush-cabal had a long-standing plan to grab oil in various parts of the world. And the Bush cabal had no intention of catching bin Laden.

Now consider this: the CIA's Operation Mockingbird, begun in the late 1940's, was supposed to give the CIA control over the media of the USA and eventually Britain. For more than a year after September 11, the media kept pretty quiet about the attacks on America being 'an inside job.' It looked like our media was censored and controlled. Only a few journalists such as Greg Palast and George Monbiot hinted at a conspiracy. Then the Observer spills the beans.

I had thought that the Observer only printed material from CIA/Mossad/MI6 handouts. I was wrong.

********************************************** *

So, let's look at the NEWS section of the Observer-

Fortunately it's pretty varied in terms of subject matter. Whereas the Telegraph will be full of stories about dreadful Moslems and the sad plight of the Israelis, the Observer seems to actually employ some Moslems.

Observer journalist Faisal Islam reminds us that World War II rescued the USA from recession. Faisal Islam says Bush needs a war. It's worth reading this guy Faisal.

********************************************** **************

The REVIEW section -

I usually enjoy the S
unday Telegraph's review section as it has some fine writ
ers. However, the Observer manages to be less fuddy-duddy and conservative than the Telegraph, while at the same time having some top class reviews.

********************************************** ******************

The BUSINESS and Media section.

The Sunday Telegraph has some of the best writers on money. Liam Halligan is world class. However, the Observer does have a good business section with extensive coverage of everything from corporate scandals to what's happening in the media. It's lively.

********************************************** 8

The COLOUR MAGAZINE -

I remember the glory days of the excellent Sunday Times colour magazines. That was before Mr Andrew Neil turned the Sunday Times into a right-wing propaganda sheet.

The Observer Mag is a little like the old Sunday Times mag. You may find stories on starving children, and not just ads for the ghastly rich who live in St Johns Wood, Kensington and Hampstead.

************************************

ESCAPE is the travel section of the Observer.

The Telegraph used to have a good travel section, but it became tired and boring. The Observer section is still lively.

********************************************** ***

The Observer's TV LISTINGS are the best in the business. Beautifully presented and easy to read.


********************************************** *************

Summary:

Independent on Sunday - seems to be aimed at rich women shoppers.
Herald on Sunday - gets a few scoops, but lacks guts. Missed the boat on 9 11.
Sunday Times - a propaganda sheet.
Sunday Telegraph- has some excellent writers but reads like the Jewish Chronicle or Jerusalem Post.
Observer - has improved and is now definitely worth buying.
