We’re to believe the ‘mystery’ of the 9/11 third tower collapse has been solved…
After two years of investigations, ordinary fires on several different floors now provide us with the official explanation as to why a third tower came down in the 9/11 attacks without having been hit by a plane. This would make it the first and only steel skyscraper in the world to collapse because of fire.
There are a number of architects, engineers and scientists who say the official explanation is impossible. Others without such specialist knowledge might simply marvel at the sheer coincidence of a terrorist attack of the greatest magnitude ever taking place alongside a rampant arsonist prowling from one floor to the next of a building that housed the Secret Service, CIA, Department of Defense and the Office of Emergency Management.

Starbucks Corporation is to close 600 company-operated US stores in the next year, a considerable hike from its previous plan for 100 closures. It’s a potent indicator of just how screwed the US economy is, but we can only wonder how long it will be before the company starts shutting up shop around the world, particularly in Britain, where many alcoholic drinks in pubs cost far less than Starbucks-branded concoctions.

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that Tesco shareholders yesterday chose to reject Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s call for the company to adopt new and compassionate standards for rearing birds. They ignored the moral and ethical arguments in favour of what they presumably thought was the best way to keep the money rolling in. The fact that less than 10 per cent of the shareholders voted in favour of change simply goes to show that they’re a callous bunch of bastards who care about very little other than money. And let’s face it—Tesco does make them an awful lot of money, at least for the time being. But times change, and anyone with a conscience should now boycott the store chain and shop elsewhere.
