Right at the moment im really quite annoyed at President George Bush. Why... the guy seems to be keeping so much from the world. Seymour Hersh, the American journalist who discovered the shocking iraq pictures, today told US media he has found that the bush administration is further on with plans for a missile strike on iran than previosly stated. Bush called Hersh's claims "wild speculation"
Now as a non-American i have always been a little worried about George Bush. The man has always seemed to me to be a little shady, and this was confirmed to me on friday when i watched a documentary about 9.11 called Loose Change.
This documentary is easily avaliable online on Google video.
It describes irregularties in the United States Official line on what happened on the 11th of September 2001 compared with video evidence and witness testimony. Watching this programme shocked me deeply, what reason should i have to disbelive what America had told me, why should they lie. Well it would seem someone in the Bush administration has lied, lied well and lied to make money.
The thing that hurt the most is that this documentary seems to lay the blame for what happened at the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on Bush..in my humble opinion i now belive this to be entirely possible, and it truely upsets me that a man with such control could massacre so many of his own people.
As a journalist in training (and an avid watcher of Jerermy Kyle) I belive everyone should be shown both sides of every story before they are expected to make up there minds. Therefore i belive the American media is serverly repressed by their government for not showing this evidence/footage as soon as it was brought up. (this is an issue often brought up by Noam Chomsky who was also slated by the American Media)
What happened on September 11th really upset me at the time. I had been through my own very personal tradgedy that year and i felt for all the thousands of people who lost family members that day. To find out now that what happened was not an act of terrorism but was some sort of ritual sacrifice by a government superpower really destroys my faith in the people who lead us in this world
I never thought i would sense such great loss as i did on that day again, however in July last year that feeling was back, im sure every londoner will agree the July 7th bombings made me feel the same all over again. Its like a sinking feeling in your heart and a sicknes in the pit of your stomach. I never want to feel like that again. But now after watching this documentary it makes me wonder...did our government have somee sort of responsibility for what happened in July, if Bush can do it could Blair???
I am the least paranoid person but the thought that the bush administration could have done that to their people has left me with a sort of vacent feeling, like i cant trust the people who are voted into power.
I realy hope that when im a fully fledged journo i will not work for stations like CNN and FOX who have slagged of Seymour Hersh, suporting strick on Iran. I hope I have some decency to do whats right and say something if i dont believe what is happening is right
For now i just have my little blog to argue my case. please tell you friends about Loose Change... everyone needs bothsides of the story even if the reaction that follows makes them sad or angry at the people in power, at least if everyone knows what bush is like there is less chance he will be elected for a 3rd term.
