- Has WorldNetDaily been put under some form of pressure?
Just last week it came out with a story connecting TWA Flight 800 with
Islamic terrorists, which we found ill advised if not unfounded.
-
- Today, we note the story at http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=29793
- supports the claim of FEMA's presence in New York prior
to the 9-11 events as nothing more than a Net rumor.
-
- Just look at the headline:
- 9-11 Net rumor finally put to rest
- Researcher confirms FEMA did not have prior knowledge
of attacks

-
- SenderBerl: When the head of the FEMA team tells Dan
Rather of CBS News that he arrived the night of 9-10, it is not within
the ambit of a "Net rumor."
-
- The article does not even justify its point because it
notes:
-
- FEMA identified Kenney as a member of the Massachusetts
Urban Search and Rescue Task Force, and according to an agency press release,
his squad, along with one from Pennsylvania, was among eight initially
activated the day of the disaster. As FEMA stated in WND's Nov. 15, 2001,
story, eventually the agency activated a total of 16 teams.
-
- Also, Kidd said she finally obtained an audio copy of
the CBS News interview with Kenney that aired live on Sept. 13, 2001. That
means, she says, a bedraggled Kenney likely just got his days of the week
mixed up when he spoke to Rather from the scene. "This interview took
place sometime on the 13th, two full days after all hell had broken loose,"
Kidd said, noting that she has an audio copy of Rather's interview. "Kenney
sounds winded on the audio as if he had been exerting himself. It is more
than likely Kenney, having worked virtually nonstop since his arrival in
NYC, had his days run together, and his statement simply came out wrong."
-
- SenderBerl: Look at the legerdemain. Once you see it,
you know the speaker is inclined to obfuscate the truth. Kidd implies that
Kenny was not even there till the evening of September 12th, being given
orders only on the afternoon of that day. Thus depending on when exactly
the interview was held on 9-13, Kenny was there no more than 24 hours (likely
only12 hours) before giving the interview, whereas Kidd's legerdemain
is that the interview was two full days "after all hell had broken
loose."
-
- Now, once you can appreciate her need to mask the truth
on that dimension, look at the prior one: his squad, along with one from
Pennsylvania, was among eight initially activated the day of the disaster.
The fact that eight squads were activated on September 12th does not address
the issue at all. Moreover, she doesn't say with clarity that his squad
was among eight initially activated, she says that his squad, along with
one from Pennsylvania (sic), was among eight initially activated (what
is the purpose of inserting "along with one from PA unless it was
the PA which could be argued to have been meant by her to be the one among
the eight activated that day). Moreover, it does not suggest although it
implies that they were activated at the same time (hear what Kenny says
himself, below). Does it really matter in any event? Does anyone expect
the government to produce a record showing at this point that FEMA was
there the night before?
-
- Let us tell you that we received information from a reliable
source on or about 9-12 that the WTC buildings that very morning prior
to the terrorism were visited by a group which the source thought were
consistent with a FEMA team (the source noted that the group was walking
around the building early that AM).
-
- Moreover, look at what we wrote about the issue when
initially brought to our attention by Joel Skousen:
-
- Joel Skousen in World Affairs Brief dated November 9,
2001 raises poignant questions and issues concerning U.S. actions relating
to Afghanistan including the following:Tom Kenny of the National Urban
Search and Rescue (Part of FEMA) told Dan Rather in an interview this week:
"we were currently one of the first teams that was deployed to the
city of NY for this disaster. We arrived late Monday Night and went into
action on Tuesday morning." Who gave them the orders to deploy to
New York the night before? Dan Rather never asked. You can hear the interview
for yourself at: <http://www.halturnershow.com/fema.ram>http://www.halturnershow.com/fema.ram
-
- Sender, Berl & Sons Inc. since inception has raised
the specter of the White House's advance knowledge of the terrorist attack
and that President Bush's quick commitment to a long and enduring war was
not reactive but pursuant to a plan already prepared for by the White House
and current administration. The import of Mr. Kenny's admission is far
reaching; however, with the media and press inhibited from reporting or
following any story or issue not approved by those upstairs, it only can
deployed as another example of the problems needing resolution at home
before setting forth pretending that those who make the decisions, without
disclosure to or approval from the American electorate, are able to resolve
the problems of the world.
-
- SenderBerl: It's not Kennedy, but now is it Kenney or
Kenny, or will this be a further platform for additional clarification
if the issue is still pursued by families of 9-11 victims? Listen to the
interview excerpt because it is still active. Kidd is kidding. Kenny sounds
alert and when you have a historical disaster of such magnitude, it is
clear that he arrived LATE in the evening. Kidd says he was given orders
the afternoon of 9-11 and what happened, was FEMA waiting for permission
to fly into New York? Perhaps, after all those military jet planes who
train to defend our country during times of national emergency were also
kept on the tarmac allowing the towers to be struck and then crumble, keeping
the emergency management team out of New York makes sense as well!
-
- Conclusion: SenderBerl recalls:
-
- WND banned from covering Capitol
- Posted: August 7, 2002

-
- Last week, in a secret meeting, the Standing Committee
of Correspondents, an official institution of Congress funded by tax dollars,
banned WorldNetDaily Washington Bureau Chief Paul Sperry from covering
the Capitol. It was the ultimate act of spiteful arrogance that followed
18 months of stalling and excuse-making by the committee, which has searched
in vain for any legitimate reason to block WorldNetDaily from the accreditation
process that would give the independent newssite unfettered access to the
Capitol. Until last week, the committee had simply refused to grant permanent
accreditation to WorldNetDaily, but provided limited access through day
passes. Now, even the day passes have been revoked.
-
- SenderBerl: This is all just another sign that those
who pursue any intent of independence in reporting to the American public,
have to have the fortitude and will to face obstacles all along their way.
The government at this point of history wants Americans to be imbued with
magazine journalism covering stories and issues within set boundaries.
Where journalism was intended to ferret out truth for the American people,
such ambitions find no support or reward and thus are clearly discouraged.
If those who accumulate attention play ball, they will have a future. If
not, failure and frustration are consequences they must accept and endure.
-
- In this environment and setting, America sits down for
its Thanksgiving holiday. It really is sad for us to perceive and note.
The truth is something rarely welcomed.
