London: Free Speech Death Watch Report

Free Speech Death Watch Alert: "BREAKING: Conference facility caves to pressure from Islamic groups, bans Mark Steyn from speaking," by Andrew Lawton at Strictly Right, October 21:

Strictly Right sent out a press release earlier today to Canadian media with some rather startling news about the upcoming Mark Steyn speech in London, Ontario that we're putting together. Mark Steyn will be speaking on November 1st in a speech entitled "Head for the Hills: Why everything in your world is doomed." Apparently, London-area Muslims didn't like that idea too much.

Due to capacity constraints at the University of Western Ontario, the original venue for the event, we had booked the London Convention Centre (LCC,) London's premiere conference facility. On Tuesday, I received a phone call from the LCC telling us that our venue had been pulled, and that Mark Steyn would not be permitted to speak there. The reason offered by the LCC was that they had received pressure from local Islamic groups, and they didn't want to alienate their Muslim clients. It's interesting to note that the LCC is owned by the City of London, and is therefore a government operation.

It's interesting that a government-run business decided that freedom of speech was no longer a concept to be upheld, and even more interesting is the fact that the Muslim community in London is applying pressure to a company to not entertain a speaker when only a day earlier they made a statement to the press saying that they didn't care about Steyn speaking and wouldn't do anything to counter it, (except "charity work.")...

Suppressing Evidence Often Proves Guilt

I can buy only the first part of the official 911 story. It is possible that four groups of suicidal terrorists hijacked 4 planes destined to crash on American sites.The rest of it is propaganda and cover up.Even as the first jet hit the WTC, there were 12 'witnesses' with accounts that paralleled one another too much to be authentic. Most of them were news media executives who produced coherent accounts repeated over and over throughout the day of the attack to a shocked and news hungry population.The two planes that struck the twin towers could not have caused the towers to implode and to fall as they did. It was a controlled demolition requiring an expertise held by seven US firms.When several hundred architects and engineers released forensic evidence to debunk the 911 commission report version, they met fanatic resistance from the government officials.Sibel Edmonds met similar obstacles when she broke her story on the sale of US nuclear secrets through the Turks to various Muslim States. Since 2001, there has been a massive media blackout on her reporting as well.The Agency efforts to suppress her findings as well as those of the 911 truth seekers are remarkable. The Agencies charged with the investigation of these atrocities were the ones that sealed the evidence from the public.
