Be careful what you tweet
I am fairly new to Twitter and I know some politicians have got themselves into trouble with their tweets, but I didn’t reckon on being misquoted myself. Misquoted isn’t the right word, as I was quoted correctly. Rather, I was taken completely out of context. Deliberately.
Tom Harris – the acceptable face of New Labour (well, almost) – twittered:
The boys are loving Norad’s Santa Tracker: www.noradsanta.org.
Now, Tom knows that I don’t believe the official fairytale of New York 9/11, but nevertheless proceeded to retweet my reply to him:
RT @StewartCowan: @TomHarrisMP Ha ha! NORAD can track Santa, but not the 9/11 planes. Classic. >> Most tragic Tweet of the year?
Consequently, his 2,600-odd followers, or those who read his tweet, will think I am a callous moron. My point, of course, was that NORAD were able to track a fictional character flying across the globe on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, but were unable to scramble jets to intercept the highjacked planes on 11th September 2001.
But then Vice President Dick Cheney ensured that they wouldn’t be. Here is part of the testimony of the former Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta:
I was made aware of it during the time that the airplane coming into the Pentagon. There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, “The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out.” And when it got down to, “The plane is 10 miles out,” the young man also said to the vice president, “Do the orders still stand?” And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, “Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?”
NORAD were stood down on 9/11 by Dick Cheney, who just happens to be former chief of Halliburton, who just happen to make an absolute fortune out of war.
So thank you Tom for giving me this opportunity to expose the lies of 9/11 again. I forgive you. I don’t have a reputation to ruin anyway!
Stewart,
I hate to tell you so, but I told you so. Harris is responsible for more deaths than Sutcliffe. That he shrouds his murder in a thin veil of Christianity makes it oh, so much more dreadful.
When I am King, he will be one of the first against the wall. Really.
His smirking face has haunted thousands to their graves, whilst he gets richer and his children get fatter.
I would not hesitate. Not for a moment.
Indeed, English, you did warn me. He voted to reduce the abortion limit by a few weeks only. He has fallen for his party’s own spin that a ‘woman’s rights’ are more important than the child’s right to life itself, than the father’s right to have his child brought forth alive, and of course, what is morally right.
I like Tom as a man, much as I like Stewart as a man, while disagreeing with both on some, er, ‘key issues’. As far as I know though Stewart cannot be held responsible in any way for the actions of this Government or for those of any other. Tom can be. Tom is also appallingly blind to the, forgive me, pure Satanic horror that was and is Blair. Tom’s affable good humour is quite genuine – I’ve met him – OK – very briefly – look (Hi Tony) trust me on this. But he is gullible, perhaps criminally gullible. He is a human facade on the monster that the Labour Party has become. He doesn’t see it that way because he’s not looking, as we are, at what’s behind him.
Fair comments, Jim. Tom is surely guilty of something.
