Please wait

British troops risk their lives to protect the UK and our way of life

but what about the people who should be watching their backs?

Unfortunately, it seems very few are actually doing their jobs...

Dear ,

The BBC's coverage of the 9/11 Attacks

Laws can embody standards; Govts can enforce laws - but the final task is not a task for Govt. It is a task for each and every one of us. Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted - when we tolerate what we know to be wrong - when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy, or too frightened - when we fail to speak up and speak out - we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.
Robert F Kennedy

I write to you again about my long running complaint that the BBC is not dealing with. I wrote to the Director General nearly a month ago in your escalated complaint process. I know my letter was received because I used "Track and Trace" through the Royal Mail. It was signed for by an M Benjamin at the BBC. I have yet to receive a reply. As the BBC now has my letter and ample time to deal with it may I again request that you at the Trustee level deal with the 11 questions I posited below on the 7th July and which still remain unanswered by anyone in the BBC. You have made it repeatedly clear in numerous letters to me that you have a process of which you are at the moment not yet engaged in. I have made it repeatedly clear over the past 6 months that my letters and questions are not being dealt with. There are long delays in replies from BBC Audience Service and when they do come they do not engage with the issues I raise. They are short, dismissive letters and wholly inadequate. I ask you again to take ownership of this process and review the BBC's coverage of the 9/11 attacks in its Editorial Standards committee.

I did alert you in my correspondence before the riots started and before the Occupy movement arrived at St Pauls that society was changing. The protesters at St Pauls are openly talking about, amongst othet things, the media cover ups in their angry discussions about what is wrong with this country. I repeat again there is a growing awareness in this country that those who run this country are out of touch with most people. That feeling and that anger is not going to go away. In my few days at St Pauls we have had wide ranging discussions about Financial corruption in the City, Govt weakness and media agendas that do not serve the truth. To date the Church, politicians and the media are reluctant to engage in that debate for change although Douglas Alexander MP yesterday gave the movement credence. I wonder how far the opposition will want to constructively review much of what took place on its watch from 1997 to 2010.

Also since I started writing to you the well respected Danny Jowenko, who I quoted in previous correspondence, died in the summer. It was unexpected, just as were the deaths of Paul Smith and Dan Wallace. I would like to say to you and any other people who may be reading this letter that I cannot let the possibility of an early death weigh too heavily on me in trying to achieve my goal. There is little point in living in a so called civilised society only at the expense of living in a silent fear. Each day that passes at least one child dies in horrible circumstances somewhere in the Middle East away from the publicity of western cameras in the ongoing war on terror. I urge you again to answer my reasonable questions over your biased coverage of the 9/11 attacks, the very same attacks that justified the unleashing of this war on many innocents and which shows no sign of abating.

The questions again are if you are presenting unbiased coverage;

  1. Where is the film footage of the Boeing striking the Pentagon ?
  2. Why haven't your journalists asked the US authorities to see it ? Why is it secret ?
  3. Why haven't you interviewed people like April Gallop who stepped through that hole after the attack and said there was no plane there ?
  4. Why haven't you interviewed firefighters who heard explosions in the Twin Towers ?
  5. Why havent you been able to show substantial wreckage (or photos of) from the Shanksville site ?
  6. Why do you only interview explosives experts that back the official version ?
  7. Why don't you speak to any pilots from pilots for 9/11truth ?
  8. Why don't you speak to victim's family members who still demand an independent investigation ?
  9. Why are 5 of the alleged hijackers alive and well according to your own news reporting ? Who then did hijack the planes ?
  10. Why aren't you seeking written scientific evidence to rebut the compelling claims of the teams of Richard Gage and Niels Harrit ?
  11. Why are your programmes "conspiracy files" on 9/11 so overtly biased as to not withstand scrutiny as fair and objective ie they don't address any of the above issues ?

Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,

Paul Warburton
