����������� ONE THING WE AREN'T BEING TOLD ABOUT THE COLUMBIA EXPLOSION

�������������������������������������������������� by Barry Chamish

 

���� So the Space Shuttle on its 113th mission, carrying Israel's first

astronaut, explodes on the Sabbath over Palestine, Texas. Too unbelievable

to be accidental, right? Well, maybe it isn't. We will return.

 

���� I had prepared my usual report from Israel and it was chock full of

powerful eye-witness evidence. It was that sort of week. Now who will give

a hoot about last week's news? So let's summarize what I won't report in

depth and get it over with.

 

���� * We were going to start by asking why, if two/thirds of Israel's

Jewish voters chose parties from the Right, is it that Sharon is forming a

coalition with the Left, guaranteeing that Peres will be back in the

cabinet? And our conclusion was, obviously, that the voters wasted their

time voting.

 

���� * Then we were going to present eye-witnesses that the Green Leaf

Party, which all polls showed winning 2-4 seats, lost because of mass

ballot destruction. And something similar took place to Herut, before the

vote counting began.

 

���� * Like mother, like daughter. Dahlia Pelosoff Rabin is sick with

cancer and not telling anyone. A close friend of hers contacted me with the

information.

 

���� * My last article included an interview with an associate of Rabin's

personal bodyguard, who was called away for an overseas assignment a week

before the assassination. I was told, "You got that story right. What you

missed is he wasn't the only one called away on the night of the rally.

Practically the whole Shabak protection unit was called to a gathering in

Mishmar Hashiva that evening when we should have been on duty."

 

���� Back to NASA, once again an acronym for Need Another Seven Astronauts.

Obviously, it's too early to make a claim for sabotage, but there are some

signs to look for and one powerful piece of evidence unknown outside Israel.

���� The easy way out is to observe that just when an Israeli is on board,

the shuttle disintegrates. Two of the 113 shuttle flights ended in

disaster, so Ilan Ramon, we calculate after the fact, had a 1 in 56.5

chance of not returning or a 1 in 112 chance before boarding. These are

high but not unlikely odds. That there were Jewish astronauts on both

shuttle disasters, (a distant relative of mine, Judy Resnick died in the

1986 conflagration), is entirely explainable by coincidence.

���� So let's increase the chances of improbability by noting that Ramon

was in the Air Force squadron which bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor in

1982, and he was on the craft on the eve of an American invasion of Iraq.

There are several thousand Israeli Air Force pilots who weren't on the

Iraqi mission, so Ramon's choice as the country's astronaut may not have

been entirely coincidental. The Columbia explosion has the grand potential

of rallying Americans against Iraq either way. Sabotage would be fine for

that purpose but the images of rejoicing in Baghdad are useful as well.

���� THEN, that the first explosion reported was over Palestine, Texas gets

a bit spooky already. Which brings us to a peculiar NASA reaction. The

space agency initially insisted that no explosion was heard from the

Shuttle by anyone . What people thought was an explosion was actually

debris hitting the ground.

���� A few hours of TV watching proved that to be untrue. All kinds of

witnesses saw the vapor trail and heard the explosion. They included a

Texas senator and ordinary people like Randy Hendricks and Kim

Dornak-Anderson, both interviewed on Fox News. Yet NASA continued to insist

the Shuttle broke up, not exploded. The final proof of this false

contention came from the Shreveport, Louisiana weather station, which taped

the explosion on its radar screen.

���� So why was NASA denying that there was an explosion? The only answer

anyone should come up with is that an explosion means possible sabotage.

There is another reason not to dismiss that option; the reaction of the

astronauts themselves. The last radio transmission proves that the crew

didn't suspect anything was wrong. Then came the end of transmission,

suddenly. There was not a moment of fire or smoke within the cabin. No one

saw a wing in jeopardy. No one felt a sudden jolt. And those are the

telltale human signs of an immediate and highly traumatic blast.

���� I'm not an aeronautical engineer and I'm sure there are lots of

reasons why the Columbia could have exploded. However, I know that no

engines were ignited because the ship was in a gliding mode. So, with no

motors running and no fuel being sparked, what precisely exploded the whole

ship in one gigantic blast?

���� Which leads me to one concrete piece of evidence that should be very

closely examined. The Israeli TV Channel Two, had a reporter and crew

inside the NASA Control Center. Ilan Ramon's landing was being carried live

from a number of sites and Channel Two's reporter was in the right place to

hear the REAL last transmissions from Columbia. And they are not even close

to what the rest of the world is being told.

���� According to the reporter, one NASA message to the crew was most

significant. A few moments before the end, NASA broadcast the following

message. Now there is some Hebrew translation involved, so there are going

to be some differences in the actual message; But the Channel Two reporter

heard, "Rick, you're going to be surprised. We're starting the D-Orbit burn

now."

���� The reporter wisely asked why the commander of the mission was going

to be surprised and concluded that the message could lead in all kinds of

suspicious directions. It was the only blatant talk of alternative

suspicion that I heard all night. I waited for hours through five TV

networks and not once did I hear this conversation. All I heard was a

warning about tire pressure, an acknowledgement, then nothing.

���� But something very odd preceded the final words NASA agreed to

release. And it IS a reason not to dismiss sabotage. And that may go a ways

to explaining why the Homeland Security division of FEMA was placed in

charge of collecting debris, backed by a beaut of a scare campaign for what

will become of all who hold on to Shuttle souvenirs.

���� Now for me, here's the clincher. NASA stressed that it had no idea

what caused the tragedy and even noted that they may never know. However,

they have totally discarded terrorism as a cause of the "accident."

���� So, if NASA doesn't know what caused the disaster and may never know,

how exactly do they know with such concrete certainty that it wasn't sabotage?
