Seconds Apart, Worlds Apart
by Richard Oxman
> “The bombs on the subway went off within a span of 50 seconds Thursday, suggesting detonation by synchronized timers rather than suicide bombers, police said, revising earlier accounts that the blasts occurred within a 26-minute span. An explosion tore through a double-decker bus nearly an hour later.” — Matt Moore, Associated Press Writer
Seconds apart? What happened to the other timeframes that were posted all over the world earlier, one of which — the *temporary official* one, I guess — emphatically declared that the blasts were 26 minutes apart?
Excuse me, but doesn’t this *change* beg for an explanation respecting the *difference in change* here? *Sans* deep conspiracy talk. *Sans* the [Netanyahu connection](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050707/ap_on_re_mi_ea/israel_ britain_explosions_1 “Netanyahu Changed Plans Due to Warning”).
And don’t we have to ask whether or not we want to have much to do with so-called activists who aren’t asking such questions? Educated, concerned fellow-citizens.
What is this lack of inquiry? Duh deluded domain dubbed *investigative reporting* is one thing. No curiosity from the Peanut Gallery is another.
“The explosions were so destructive that authorities haven’t been able to identify a single body and were depending on fingerprints, dental records and DNA analysis, detectives said Saturday.” Another excerpt from the same report, circulated worldwide, which is apparently escaping scrutiny.
Now we’re also to buy the notion that the explosives were “high” ones, not the homemade ones previously…labeled as such.
Why exactly did The Powers decide to change the script? Certainly no one believes two such fundamental elements in an investigation can be fudged so…legitimately. So quickly. So *safely*, free from prodding minds. Or do they?
They do. Without so much as an ungroggy interrogative. Good boys and girls. We have a clean table.
WHO TABLED THE INITIAL TIMEFRAME!?!?!?
I’m afraid I’m worlds apart from anyone who reads this and doesn’t contact me about the above, the *why*.
But mostly I’m afraid that a lot of people –do I have that many readers?– will throw out the question: “Why does all this make you feel *worlds apart*?”
Special note for your kind consideration:
Look at how Paisley Dodds of the Associated Press put it: “Transit officials originally said the blasts occurred over a 26-minute span, but computer software that tracked train locations and electric circuits subsequently determined the first blast shattered the rush-hour commute at 8:50 a.m in Aldgate station, east London, with the next two erupting within 50 seconds.” Oh, *officials* got it wrong initially, whilst the computers were somehow…what(?)…not functioning…at a time when it was crucial to establish a timeline? Then…what(?)…the software kicked in…after mucho hours? Like, a day late? Hey, I’ll bet that if the *officials* could claim that the bus was hooked up to the same computers, they’d be selling us on that explosion also occuring within seconds of the others. For…it’s not a pretty picture that the *officials* didn’t notify ALL those in transit to…*change plans*. Mode of transportation? I mean, why aren’t we hearing about which subway and/or bus and/or train *officials* were notified…*when*? Let me know if you find something on any of that. At [Transport for London](http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/press-centre/press-releases/press-re leases-content.asp?prID=420 “Transport for London”) you’ll see the lengths to which the UK officials went — nothing comparable needed in the U.S., I guess — to convince the public that all is present and accounted for under their watchful gaze. “Timing is everything,” as they say in comedy.
