Global Research Referral Drive: Our Readers Are Our Lifeline
***
When most of the Francis Scott Key Bridge suddenly collapsed into Chesapeake Bay before dawn on Tuesday, March 26, the nation was left with a queasy feeling in its collective stomach.
The bridge fell apart like a pile of lightly glued toothpicks would; the breakup did not even radiate out from where the container ship Dali hit the bridge.
The result? An important railroad track for the transportation of freight on the East Coast was interrrupted, the entrance to the major harbor near the nation’s capital was shut down, and hazardous materials were spilled in the water that restricted an immediate clean up.
We all remember the manner in which the corporate media tried to normalize, to explain scientifically, how the World Trade Center fell into itself, pancaking down to the ground in a free fall that denied every law of physics.
Maybe this was all a big accident, but it is not likely.
We are not going to be fooled again by a massive false flag attack on our vital infrastructure. We must launch an international, scientific, objective, and fearless international investigation into what forces, foreign, domestic, or perhaps some twisted combination of the two, were behind this attack, and whether it was tied to, or in response to, American actions in Ukraine, Russia, the Middle East, or elsewhere.
The possibility that the boat was hacked, and that the bridge was rigged up to collapse, are high enough to demand a careful investigation with all the evidence made public for the world.
The corruption within the Department of Transportation and Homeland Security is so great today as to demand an international investigation that will be forced to be scientific.
Those who declare this incident to be an accident before any investigation has been conducted are not doing us any favors.
If it was an attack, it would be impossible for there to be such a blanket of silence in response unless there were inside players involved.
We will not know what happened until we investigate via an international scientific team.
Nevertheless, we do know a few facts from the start. The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on March 26, just four days after the mysterious attacks in Moscow at Crocus City Hall.
We know that gas pipelines were mysteriously blown up in the Iranian provinces of Fars and Chahar, at 1 AM on Feb. 14—the same time of day as this collapse.
We also know that General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed a few days later in the April 1 Bombing of Iranian Embassy in Syria by Israel.
There are many other unanswered questions concerning this incident that closed down America’s vital infrastructure. Before we pretend that nothing happened, before we are convinced to blame the wrong people, let us launch a real investigation.
Finally, let us not rule out the possibility that the ultimate responsibility may lie with forces that are transnational in nature, and that those powers would love to lure us into fighting each other, rather than following the money to the top—but I get ahead of myself.
Let us first launch a real investigation that is fearless and scientific, and that is for the benefit of all the citizens of the world.
