Buckle on
Reading this piece about how the media manipulated images of the 7/7 bombing victims to corral public support for repressive terror laws, something odd struck me."The floor was all buckled."
And I'm asking, buckled upwards or downwards?
Another eye witness said upwards. Would you say "buckled" if it was downwards? Wouldn't you just say "holed" or "there was a crater" without mentioning buckling? Or does a bomb drive a hole into the floor, buckling the floor at the edges of the crater it makes? I don't know. I'm curious.
Some tinfoilistas believe the Yanks laid on 9/11. I think it's plausible. The Yanks are very good at finding out whodunnit very swiftly after events have happened (they name al-Zarqawi as behind many bombings before any investigation has occurred) for people who are not very good at finding out the truth about anything. Naturally, any difficult to explain occurrence will attract its conspiracy theories. It's important to realise that you can accept a thing's plausibility without believing it is necessarily so. So I think, Al Qaeda plausible, CIA plausible, Mossad plausible. The evidence, such as it, supports all three possibilities.
And 7/7? Look, there are extremists who want to blow us to shit. I believe that. But is it possible that someone else did 7/7, even if unlikely?
Anything's possible...
