“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.

September 11th 2001Series of nine prints on aluminium showing nine unanswered questions and a DVD by Anthony Lawson.
Ten years on and I’m still amazed and horrified at the general public’s unquestioning, irrational belief in the official 9/11 story. If we blindly accept this version of events, then the 100 year War on Terror which targets, not only 1.2 billion Muslims, but also our own individual and sovereign rights and international law has a self-justifying logic. Out of the literally hundreds of unanswered questions surrounding the attacks, my prints on aluminium focus on just nine of them that the orthodox narrative inadequately addresses.
In fact, anyone who has read the 9/11 Commission Report – written like the script for a Hollywood potboiler – cannot remain silent on its glaring inconsistencies, omissions and downright lies. With this artwork, I join the call of millions worldwide demanding a new and truly independent investigation into the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Whoever the real culprits and beneficiaries of 9/11 and the WOT are, it’s in their interest to derail the emergence of an effective ‘Truth Movement’. We should therefore be wary of ‘red herrings’ and deal with core facts that emphatically disprove the official story. With that established, we can move on to who the likely perpetrators are.
On this 10th anniversary of 9/11, I dedicate my artwork to the nearly 3,000 innocent victims of that dreadful day whose deaths have been used to justify the killing of hundreds of thousands of equally innocent people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and elsewhere.
