Friends, As the evidence continues to come in, I think there is little doubt remaining: the London bombings were indeed a covert intelligence operation, mimicking many the tactics used on 9-11, and serving a variety of political purposes. In my first report, I mentioned that Binyamin Netanyahu had been warned not to travel prior to the first blast, as his route would have taken him close to one of the targets. Here's more on that bit of evidence, excerpted from http://www.wsws.org/articles/2005/jul2005/lond-j11.shtml Unanswered questions in London bombings A report published by the Associated Press (AP) at 12:16 p.m. on July 7, authored by Amy Teibel in Jerusalem, stated, "British police told the Israeli Embassy in London minutes before Thursday's explosions that they had received warnings of possible terror attacks in the city, a senior Israeli official said." "Just before the blasts, Scotland Yard called the security officer at the Israeli Embassy to say they had received warnings of possible attacks, the official said. He did not say whether British police made any link to the economic conference. Within hours, the original Associated Press report had been removed, following denials by Israeli officials in Tel Aviv and London. But the report had already been taken up by numerous publications internationally. AP replaced its original article with another, headlined, "Israel 'Not Warned' about London Attacks." See also: http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=20050707&articleId=657 A more solid piece of evidence involves a security exercise that was being carried out at the time of the explosions. Here are excerpts from http://prisonplanet.com/Pages/Jul05/160705web_of_deceit.html London Bombings - Web of Deceit: Peter Power, The Terror Drill, Giuliani and The CIA On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch, now Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company. Power was quoted as saying "At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now" Beyond the unbelievable "coincidence" of this scenario, the very fact that the bombs in the drill were simultaneous is a smoking gun because almost a week went by before it was revealed that the bombs had gone off simultaneously. The importance of this drill cannot be understated. This is precisely what happened on the morning of 9/11/2001. The CIA was conducting drills of flying hijacked planes into the WTC and Pentagon at 8:30 in the morning. The two scenarios are comparable in that it is a tried and tested method of navigating around the everyday security services, and, more importantly, if the perpetrators get caught during the attack or after with any incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part in an exercise. . As you would expect, the interview is no longer on the BBC website. A recording is available, however, on whatreallyhappened.com http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/london_exercise_video.html. The 7/7 London Bombings: How to Set Up a Patsy The fact of the "coincidental" exercise is already suspicious enough, but perhaps more damning is the fact that the existence of the exercise is being covered up, i.e. receiving no further mention whatever in the media. If the exercise and the bombings really were coincidental, then there would be no reason not to report the story, which would obviously be very newsworthy. Given the exercise, and its coverup, then it seems rather clear that the purpose of the exercise was to provide a context in which to carry out the false-flag operation. Peter Power was evidently not in-the-know, and happened to be interviewed before anyone remembered to tell him to keep quiet. Let's next take into account the four alleged terrorists. These lads in no way fit any terrorist profile. And if they had been suicide bombers, and involved in such a sophisticated operations, with military explosives and all, then there is no way they would carry a wallet full of IDs and allow themselves to show up on camera together. Nor would they buy round-trip tickets and put pay-and-ride tickets on their windshields. Here's an article about them, including interviews with parents. One of the parents says his son certainly did not travel to Afghanistan, as the police claim: "There is no way, I have seen his passport," he said. http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_news&Number=293781957 The probable scenario begins now to come into focus. Most likely the four lads, basically innocent and naive, were hired and told they were to take part in the exercise. Their job, they were told, was to carry fake explosives into the undergound, to see if normal security measures would manage to stop them. If they did make it into the tube, they were to leave the knapsacks behind and their job would be over. It would make sense to the lads, and they would understand why Muslims had been chosen for such a test. Unbeknownst to them however, the explosives were not fake, and the charges were either on timers, or more likely, could be detonated remotely - giving more flexibility in case the operation wasn't proceeding exactly on schedule. The four lads provided a means of delivering the explosives, and afterwards they served as the perfect perpetrators: "Watch out Britain, even the most innocent looking Muslims in your midst might be dangerous terrorists." At this point, I must give fair dues to the superior subtlety of British mainstream propaganda, as compared to the simple-minded American variety. In the case of 9/11, we got one official story, with no evidence to back it up, and then they stuck to it. The story is so full of holes that 50% of Manhattan residents don't believe it. The Brits, on the other hand, keep refining their story, partly so that it seems like a real investigation is going on, and partly to tune their damage control, based on public reactions. As a consequence, they do a much better job of fooling most of the people all of the time. In particular, given the obvious problems with the 'suicide bomber' story, the official story is now shifting to a scenario very similar to the one I outlined, except they are claiming it was some 'mastermind terrorist' handling the remote detonators rather than British Intelligence: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=15742951&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=was-it-suicide---name_page.html EXCLUSIVE: WAS IT SUICIDE?" Here's one more evidential item, and then we'll move on to the political objectives of the operation. At the bottom of this posting, I'll give you a whole list of URLs, each with a brief excerpt so you'll know what it's about. We can expect lots more evidence to emerge, just as it has with 9/11, but there comes a point where we'd just be playing Conspiracy Trivial Pursuits, if we spent too much time on such details. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2005/150705busbombing.htm "London Stagecoach Employee Says Bus Bombing Suspicious" The driver notes the following about CCTV maintainence. "CCTV gets maintained at least 2 or 3 times a week and can digitally store upto 2 whole weeks worth of footage. this is done by a private contractor....So when I heard that the CCTV wasn't working on a vehicle that's no more than 2 years old since last June.....I'm sorry that's rubbish, I work for the company I know different." Also a point of interest....last saturday a contractor came to inspect the CCTV on the buses at the depot, According to my supervisor the person spent more than 20 hours over that weekend, 20 hours to see if the CCTV is working? Also that person who came was not a regular contractor, for security reasons the same few people always come to the depot to carry out work, this time it was different. --- * Mission Objectives Whenever this kind of false-flag operation is carried out, there are always multiple objectives. It's kind of like a space shuttle shot - lots of people have a package they want included on any given mission, and missions are relatively infrequent. Same for major false-flag events. Hence in the Oklahoma City bombing, we had both the demonization of America's Militia movement, and the passage of an "anti-terrorism" (i.e, pro-fascism) bill. With the Omagh bombing, we had the undermining of Sinn Fein, a stalling of the Peace Process in British-occupied Northern Ireland, and an "anti-terrorism" bill in the Republic of Ireland. With 9/11, we got "anti-terrorist Homeland Security" (i.e., the Neo Gestapo), the sidelining of the anti-globalization movement, and a carte blanche for global military conquest. The more packages that can be carried on board, the more payoff from a given operation / mission. Once a choice is made regarding which packages to include, then the timing of the incident must take them all into account, even the minor ones. Thus it would be fair to say that the London bombings were timed to submerge discussion of the Downing Street Memos, but that does not mean the memos were the most important package on the mission, i.e. the main reason for the operation. Similarly, Live 8 was mainly about building support for policies which will lead to increased economic exploitation and greater world hunger, but the event was timed to submerge coverage of the anti-G8 demonstrations, a secondary objective. With typical British competence, the London bombing mission carried quite a few packages on board. Here are the ones I can think of at the moment: - The Downing Street Memos are no longer news. - Growing anti-war sentiment in the UK has been in effect neutralized. - Blair's declining popularity has been forgotten. - A systematic project has been launched to characterize the Muslim Community as a "problem community", which needs help to overcome its "fanatical elements". Even the Muslim leaders are going along with the program! You've got to hand it to the Brits when it comes to propaganda and social control. - Washington used the event to push along the latest pieces of fascist legislation. - New "anti-terrorist" initiatives are being undertaken at the EU level. - Major "anti-terrorist" legislation is already being negotiated in Parliament. - As with 9/11, the UK population is now conditioned to accept the principle of trading "freedom for security". - Perhaps still to come: the Iran connection! - keep your eyes open for this one. It could turn out to be the primary package. As regards the Iran connection, consider this: If the UK joins the U.S. in an attack on Iran, that would be considerably better from a global propaganda point of view - as compared to a unilateral U.S. attack, or one joined only by Israel. Indeed, I think UK collaboration would be seen as a requirement, and this principle has proven its importance in Iraq. Besides, all of this post-9/11 stuff is simply a continuation of the long-term, Anglo-U.S., Wall Street-The City, financial-oil-imperialism alliance that we've been discussing in our series on the Engdahl material. Britain needs to continue to make its contribution to the alliance projects, if The City wants to retain the financial position it gains by that alliance. Iran is clearly the next major target in the expansionist agenda. If nothing else, the London bombing project moves UK public opinion in a direction that makes easier any UK decision to collaborate re/ Iran or any other "anti-terrorist" engagement. If a specific Iran connection can be developed around the bombings, that would greatly enhance the overall payoff of the project. And such a connection would be very easy to make - after all, they never show us the evidence, for "security reasons"; they can claim anything they want, as they routinely do. And they could easily have involved genuine Iranian operatives at some indirect level; the CIA, MI6 and Mossad certainly have lots of those on their payrolls. My guess is that the Iran connection will be developed. I've already seen some signs. It's being delayed a bit, so as to make it seem more credible - an "unexpected discovery based on excellent Intelligence work." Public opinion in the U.S. and UK will be subtly pushed toward support for an Iranian offensive, while leaders will argue for restraint. The stage will be set. Then will come the next major "terrorist outrage" in the U.S., with Iran instantly blamed, and the attack on Iran can begin - with the UK carefully set up to play its role. rkm ----------------------------- * Further information, caveat emptor http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8511605/ U.S. hoping London blasts will unite West U.S. policymakers are working this week to hammer home the Bush administration's perspective on last week's bombings in London, a view that emphasizes the bloodthirsty nature of al-Qaida, the necessity of re-examining long-established notions of law enforcement and the longer-term importance of bringing democracy to the Islamic world, beginning in Iraq. http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=9368 Former CIA officer: U.S. plans nuclear attack on Iran The United States is developing a nuclear plan to attack military bases in Iran, said Philip Giraldi, a former CIA intelligence officer.
