Loose Change vanaf vandaag op DVD, Nederlands ondertiteld

De 9/11-documentaire Loose Change 2nd edition is vanaf vandaag te koop in allerlei winkels (en online); de documentaire is voorzien van Nederlandstalige ondertitels. In een apart segment leidt Daan de Wit van DeepJournal en DaanSpeak de documentaire in en interviewt hij Mat Herben en Willem Middelkoop.

Parlementslid Herben, defensiespecialist en voormalig hoofdredacteur van de publicaties van het ministerie van Defensie, bekijkt live op camera de documentaire en spreekt zijn verbazing uit over de feiten die hem daarin worden gepresenteerd. Hij is van mening dat de feiten zo belangrijk zijn dat de verontrustende vragen die ze oproepen moeten worden gedeeld met de Amerikaanse ambassadeur in Nederland (wat hij prompt deed na afloop van het interview in een persoonlijk gesprek met de ambassadeur) en met collega's in de VS (Herben bevindt zich op dit moment in Amerika). Op de vraag of hij bereid was de documentaire te tonen aan leden van het Nederlands parlement antwoordde hij bevestigend.

Journalist Willem Middelkoop, verbonden aan RTLZ, wordt ook geinterviewd. Hij benoemt de meest verontrustende vragen rondom 9/11 en toont zich kritisch tegenover de officiële theorie bij 11 september. Hij geeft hierbij blijk van een uitgebreide feitenkennis rondom het onderwerp, een zeldzaamheid in de Nederlandse journalistiek.

From my book The Next War - The Attack on Iran - A Preview I took some excerpts that show that the CIA document is not quite unique

Obama continues Bush's Iran policy - 3

'America's Pro-Israel Lobby', as AIPAC calls itself, holds the biggest conference in its history today, yesterday and the day before in Washington. 'This year, the lobby has built its annual conference, and its entire lobbying agenda around the issue of Iran', writes Haaretz. AIPAC is very influential, and Washington fears the long arm of the lobby. One of the resources it employs is the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI).

Obama continues Bush's Iran policy - 2

The battle against Iran has already begun. War is only one phase of this process - just as it was with Iraq. The preparation is the most important part of the battle. Whoever thought that the preparation for war ended when Barack Obama took office is advised to take note of the views of critical thinker Noam Chomsky in the previous installment of this DeepJournal series. He says that Obama's policy on Iran is a continuation of the policy of his predecessor, President Bush. Anyone who cares to look at the facts will see that he is right.
