UK 9/11 scholar Andrew Lowe Watson reports Liverpool Echo has a circulation of 400,000.
From Liverpool Echo Jan 22 2007: "EX-MI5 officer David Shayler, who will be in Liverpool to launch the Truth Movement...
Talking to him was incredibly interesting – and not just because he reckons he could be bumped off by dark forces at any time, thereby becoming the UK's own Alexander Litvinenko.
We spoke on the 'phone because, well, you can't be too careful. I certainly wouldn't fancy getting in a car with him – he says he has suffered three suspicious, potentially-fatal road accidents, in 1997 (driver fell asleep), 2002 (rear tyre exploded) and 2005 (dodgy brakes).
Call the writer and activist whatever you want, but don’t call him boring. Because you’d be as wrong as wrong can be.
This is a man who worked for MI5 for five years, sold a story to a newspaper, fled abroad and, eventually, after being called a traitor to his country, jailed.
And now . . . he claims 9/11 was an inside job.
[...] "What I am still saying is go onto the internet and look at the footage . . . people have had a go at me saying there were no planes but there is little evidence to show that jets went into the buildings. I'm entitled to say they didn't and something else did . . . You can make some accurate calculations from Newton's laws of motion."[...]
Now a member of the 9/11 Truth Movement – formed after the publication, in July 2004, of the official 9/11 Commission Report – Shayler and his partner and fellow former MI5 officer Annie Machon will be in Liverpool later this week, as support for the "inside job" theory gathers momentum.
The newly-formed Merseyside Truth Movement is hosting "An Evening With Real Spies Unravelling The Lies" event (free admission) from 7.30pm on Thursday at The Casa in Hope Street.
[...] Shayler, who worked in MI5's political and counter-terrorism departments in the early 1990s, says: "I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet but the credibility I add to the movement is enormous...
"Liverpool is one of our target cities, as it has a reputation for radicalism and questioning the powers-that-be. We are calling for the inquiry to be re-opened."
There are, according to the non-believers, many more questions than answers – not least concerning the collapse of the twin towers: "All the evidence points to controlled demolition," claims Shayler.
The Pentagon? "We can say, hand on heart, there is evidence of missile damage."
Many will agree – many do agree, just look on the internet – but what about the danger of mass ridicule, in a David Icke kind of way?
"You must have the courage to tell the truth," says Shayler.
David Shayler is 41. But will he reach 42? He says: "I believe in a higher power. I have no fear of death" – which may be just as well, as he claims: "There have been three attempts on my life in car crashes – two when I was an atheist" (he now practices Kabbalah, described as the world’s oldest body of spiritual wisdom).
Regarding the future, he says: "This is the defining issue of humanity. We have never lived with such control."
George Bush, though? Some might say he couldn’t even control his own bowel movements. But, says Shayler, it goes much deeper than Bush and Tony Blair.
"Bush and Blair are puppets . . . Blair may be more intelligent than Bush, but they are both clearly patsies."
