"The 9/11 terrorists were not just lucky once; they were lucky over and over again."—Mindy Kleinberg (9/11 widow)

This week we are joined by the Yorkshire-born journalist, educator, photographer and political activist John Booth, whose career in journalism has included working for news organisations in Africa, the US and the UK.

John joins us to share something of his intellectual journey into questioning, and then investigating, the events of 9/11, and to discuss his excellent new article recently published by Lobster magazine, "Fifteen Years on from 9/11".

John Booth currently writes for Lobster — http://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk — and LAFZ, the magazine for Pakistani diaspora — http://www.lafzmagazine.com — and is a founder member of the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign. (For show notes please visit http://themindrenewed.com)

For ‘what it is worth’? “A total of 2,071 occupants of the World Trade Center died on September 11, among the 2,749 victims of the WTC attacks. According to an article in the October 11, 2001, Wall Street Journal, roughly 1,700 people had listed the religion of a person missing in the WTC attacks; approximately 10% were Jewish. A later article, in the September 5, 2002, Jewish Week, stated, “based on the list of names, biographical information compiled by The New York Times, and information from records at the Medical Examiner’s Office, there were at least 400 victims either confirmed or strongly believed to be Jewish.” This would be approximately 15% of the total victims of the WTC attacks. A partial list of 390 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who died (out of 658 in the company) lists 49 Jewish memorial services, which is between 12% and 13%. This 10-15% estimate of Jewish fatalities tracks closely with the percentage of Jews living in the New York area. According to the 2002 American Jewish Year Book, 9% of the population of New York State, where 64% of the WTC victims lived, is Jewish. A 2002 study estimated that New York City’s population was 12% Jewish. Forty-three percent of the WTC victims lived in New York City. Thus, the number of Jewish victims correlates very closely with the number of Jewish residents in New York. If 4,000 Jews had not reported for work on September 11, the number of Jewish victims would have been much lower than 10-15%.” https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/israelis-absent-911/ “ . . . out of the 4000 Israelis believed to have worked in and around the WTC and the Pentagon only FIVE died. 5/4000 Israelis. Statistically, with no forewarning about 10% (ie 400 of 4000) would have died; a toll as low as 200-300/4000 would not convincingly indicate foreknowledge. But only FIVE Israelis died and two of the five were aboard the allegedly hijacked flights; thus only three Israelis died in the WTC itself on 9/11. NB – this applies to Israeli nationals, NOT American Jews. Many Jews died in the WTC on 9/11.” https://wikispooks.com/wiki/9-11/Israel_did_it

“9/11 CNN Pentagon Report - NO PLANE - Only Aired Once 00:00 actually was bob franken with and 00:01 eyewitness who said it appeared that 00:03 that Boeing 757 the American jet 00:06 American Airlines jet landed short of 00:09 the Pentagon can you give us any better 00:12 idea of how much of the plane actually 00:13 impacted the building you know it might 00:16 have appeared that way but from my 00:18 close-up inspection there's no evidence 00:20 of a plane having crashed anywhere near 00:22 the Pentagon the only site is the actual 00:26 side of the building that's crashed in 00:27 and as I said the only pieces left 00:30 that you can see are small enough that 00:32 you could pick up in your hand there are 00:34 no large tail sections wing sections a 00:37 fuselage nothing like that anywhere 00:39 around which would indicate that the 00:41 entire plane crashed into the side of 00:43 the Pentagon and then caused the side to 00:46 collapse now even though if you look at 00:47 the pictures of the Pentagon you see 00:49 that the floors have all collapsed that 00:51 didn't happen immediately 00:52 it wasn't until almost about 45 minutes 00:55 later that the structure was weakened “ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BNqgNvUhRQ It was available about 3 years ago!
