London bombings could be covert US P2OG type "psycho-op"

... millions thought it is a US P2OG op.

Whether a "stimulating actions" US P2OG type initiated atrocity (to maintain UK troops in Iraq) or not, the effect among an the better educated (than US) population will be to increase demand for withdrawal of UK troops now, as happened in Spain.



Right Bob, millions thought it is a US P2OG op.

Author of the book "Web of Deceit: Britain's Real Role in the
World," Curtis said: "Two weeks before the invasion of Iraq, Blair was
presented with an intelligence report saying that an invasion of Iraq would
increase the likelihood of an attack on the UK." Curtis is also the former
head of the World Development Movement.

Defining that "better educated population" ... Faux news helps us define it thus....

Fox News host John Gibson stated one day before the attacks that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) "missed a golden opportunity" when it awarded the 2012 Olympic Games to London because if France had been selected to host the games, terrorists would "blow up Paris, and who cares?" Following the London attacks, Gibson reiterated that the IOC should have selected Paris instead of London because the British should "let somebody else be worried about guys with backpack bombs for a while."

From the July 6 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, guest-hosted by Gibson:

GIBSON: By the way, just wanted to tell you people, we missed (sic) -- the International Olympic Committee missed a golden opportunity today. If they had picked France, if they had picked France instead of London, to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn't worry about terrorism. They'd blow up Paris, and who cares?

From the "My Word" segment of the July 7 edition of Fox News' The Big Story With John Gibson:

GIBSON: The bombings in London: This is why I thought the Brits should let the French have the Olympics -- let somebody else be worried about guys with backpack bombs for a while.

Years on from Tonkin Bay.. the arms/oil cartel must keep the profits flowing...

There are so many deviant US, freelance " contractor " types around (including Cheney/Halliburton) and minor versions of the same from the nutter who set up his own prison and torture establishment in Kabul to Big Dick himself...

It is quite understandable that the UK people do not realize the ultimate meaning of US "free enterprise" when the chips are down.

Poor Bliar.

>> Years on from Tonkin Bay.

Insitial intelligence reports were based on garbled and innacurate information. The Kennedy Administration choose to run with it to push through their existing plans. That which you are implying is that the some shadowy organization deliberately engineered the London bombs.

At least get your analogies right.

I have always thought that most conspiricy theories were garbage.
I have also spent some time working in fields which bring me into contact with the security forces.
Sometimes, over a few beers, one of these things comes up and it gets laughed down straight away.
A couple of days ago I was discussing the London bombs with a colleague from "the office" and two "friends".
For the first time I can remember the story was not laughed down, both of the "friends" said that they believed the bombings were being conducted by independant cells who were acting under the direction of a mole. They also believed that the mole was sanctioned by a special operations unit within the US Embassy under the auspices of the P2OG mandate. The aim being to ferment a less sympathetic climate towards the middle east in the UK.
I was shocked. I've been working with these people a long time and I know that they do some dodgy things, but this is too much.
I had to tell and this is the best place to do it, amid the crack-pot theories about Mossad this message will just dissapear, but, at least I've got it off my chest.
