Watch Colin Powell 2-minute video clip(Feb 2001 i.e pre-9/11): "Iraq has no significant WMD capability"
Breaking The Silence: John Pilger.
"Iraq has no significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction" - these are Colin Powell's exact words just 6 months before 9/11. "After 9/11 everything changed..." - sorry, but this time Team Bush's favourite coma-inducing refrain just won't wash. What's more, it is a continuing damning indictment of the complicity and/or impotence of our mainstream media that this potentially war-stopping and party-spoiling TV footage was not broadcast or mentioned in the run-up to the Iraq war or thereafter...and is still not being either broadcast or mentioned. See below for more clips from Breaking The Silence.

- (S)TOP SECRET -

Must-see TV footage Americans were never meant to see...

- The Media's "Censorship by Omission".

We're deliberately giving no hints as to its content - but after watching this 'lost' 2 minute instant play video-clip* you may - if you're new to (UK)EV politics - be asking "Fine, sensational, scandalous - but what's it got to do with electric vehicles?" The answer of course (see above..): the mainstream media's endemic censorship by omission/silence (not to mention misrepresentation, misinformation and similar spin).

Sadly, even now in 2003, whenever the primacy of the Internal Combustion Engine(ICE) and the oil economy is challenged or deemed to be under threat, our loyal-to-oil mainstream media can never quite conceal its true corporate colours - i.e.'green' is nowhere to be seen.
When it comes to alternative energy and alternatives to the Internal Combustion Engine, Britain has no consistently green, alternative-minded(=left-wing??) mainstream media voice.
From the Daily Mirror, through the BBC, right out to the Daily Telegraph - eco-censorship by omission is still the reactionary norm.
