Infowars bombed london!

BREAKING NEWS!

In the first week since the bombing of London there was a rush of conspiracy theorys about Isreal, CIA, and the British State being behind the bombs. However due to diligent research and our own experts in the field we can now reveal the shocking truth! Don't be misled by the conspiracy theorys, get clued up now!



The conspiracys theorys around the London bombing are in fact a smoke screen designed to confuss and discredit those that might stumble on the truth. Alex Jones is in fact paid by the CIA to spin wild stories and encourage the deluded fanticies of lunitics in order to help cover up any real facts that might lead to the truth. We know this for a certainty as we spoke to some guy in the pub whos bosses girlfriend works for Alex Jones mothers hair dresser and she heard him admitting it.

All these conspiracys are put in place early on as damage control to draw attention from anyone who is really to blame - for example, the British State. Rather than concentrating on the fact that the bombing is part of a cycle of violence that starts with the crusades and is followed by the carving up of the Ottoman Empire by the British. It would be highly foolish to dismiss Blairs government siding with the USA government over the invasion of Iraq - but that's what Infowars and their ilk would like us to do.

Who benefits? That the question we should be asking. Who benefits from spamming dozens of conspiracies over hundreds of websites and mailing lists? Isn't it a little too convienient that Visor Communications provided Alex Jones with a hook for his conspiracies?

The answer is that it's a set up! Visor communications is being paid in part of the same plot that sees Alex Jones taking CIA money to spin this nonsence.

DON'T BE FOOLED - SEEK THE TRUTH

this has to be the weirdest posting of the week


if the above is correct

then BBC radio Five Live

is involved


quick arrest Peter Allen

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!


actually there might be a disinfo campaign going on

but this posting above is
very convenient


its true i have some reservations with Alex jones

but
a lot of what he has
done strikes at the heart of
the truth

especially the unaccountable
use of unprecedented power
by those in power

at times like these, these differences we have
take the back burner

and I can trust my own judgement, thanks


its called discretion

if you don't know
how to use discretion

then that's YOUR problem


but you see in this country
the myth of the educated University trained
intellectually elitist
has been propagated to such an extent

that
self censorship

does not allow progressive
critical thinking

wakey wakey!!!!!!!

London Underground Bombing Exercise Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack

P J Watson & A Jones | 09.07.2005 20:44 | London | World
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.

London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack
Culpability cover scenario echoes 9/11 wargames
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet | July 9 2005
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.
On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.
Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch.
Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.
The transcript is as follows.
POWER: 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.
HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?
POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.

The fact that the exercise mirrored the exact locations and times of the bombings is light years beyond a coincidence. Power said the drill focused around 'simultaneous bombings'. At first the bombings were thought to have been spread over an hour, but the BBC reports just today that the bombings were in fact simultaneous.

Mr. Power (pictured above) and Visor Consultants need not have been 'in on the bombing' or anything of that nature for this to be of importance. The British government or one of their private company offshoots could have hired Visor to run the exercise for a number of purposes.
The exercise fulfils several different goals. It acts as a cover for the small compartamentalized government terrorists to carry out their operation without the larger security services becoming aware of what they're doing, and, more importantly, if they get caught during the attack or after with any incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part in the exercise.
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.
It is clear that at least five if not six training exercises were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of 9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed.
The large numbers of 'blips' on NORAD screens that displayed both real and 'drill' hijacked planes explain why confused press reports emerged hours after the attack stating that up to eight planes had been hijacked.
The Anglo-American establishment that controls the military-industrial complex of the West has been caught over a hundred times carrying out bombings and other terrorist attacks around the world to further their corporate aims and to blame their enemies.
The US government has been caught planning to carry out attacks and carrying out attacks. The British government has been caught red-handed as well. Members of Vladimir Putin's FSB were caught planting bombs in a Russian apartment building in 1999 by the Moscow police.
This is not speculation. Kermit Roosevelt admited on NPR radio that in 1953 the CIA and British intelligence carried out a wave of bombings and shootings in Iran. He then went on to brag about how they subsequently blamed the bombings on Iran's President, Mossadegh. Do you understand, these people brag about what they do 40 years later?
The London bombings have the same signature as the Madrild bombings of 3/11. Both of these bombings are almost indistinguishable from the Bolognia bombing in 1980 that killed over 80 people.

The bombing in Bolognia was part of a CIA operation code named Gladio, where the US government would pay right-wing terrorists to carry out bombings to be blamed on leftists in Europe. All of this was blown wide open when two of the Bolognia bombers were convited in an Italian court, forcing them to spill their guts admitting that they were neo-fascists contracted by the CIA. Operation Gladio documents have since been declassified.
The London terror alert level was lowered before the bombings took place. This gave the purpotrators extra cover to plan and execute the attack without having to evade the most stringent security.
In any crime you look at history and motive, The British government has been caught in multiple examples of carrying out bombings in London which were then blamed on the IRA. They even had one of their own MI5 agents wihin the Omagh bomb squad. Click here for an archive of this evidence.
The wider agenda will become clearer when Blair firmly points the finger at the selected patsies designated to take the fall. But for the moment he's happy to grandstand as the courageous leader who immedately returned to London to take control of the chaos.
BBC polls that were showing 80 per cent plus opposed the ID card will now likely flip back in the opposite direction. Support for the European Union and increased globalization through the G8 will rise. Who stands to gain from all this? Who has the motive?
From Putin blowing up his own apartment buildings to Israel being behind Hamas, the evidence is consistently clear that large scale terrorism is always state sponsored.
The Madrid train bombing is another example. The bombers were found to be police informants with close links to the Spanish security services. They had access to the most secure areas of the Madrid train system. The Spanish government initially tried to blaim the Basque group ETA for the blast in the hope that the people would rally behind the government and get them re-elected. After ETA denied involvement and the people started saying the government was involved, the Spanish government had to blame Al-Qaeda and kill some patsies by claiming they blew themselves up during a raid.
The London Underground exercises were used as the fallback cover to carry out the attack. This is the biggest smoking gun yet pointing directly to the most secretive levels of the British establishment itself being behind the attack.

MY GUESS FOR WHICH COMPANY VISOR WAS WORKING WITH

12.07.2005 01:17
Hi Dancing Dave,

I agree that we will find out which company, employing more than 1000 people in London, Visor was working for.

My guess is that it was the Conran organisation, which is part owner of the Great Eastern Hotel, next to Liverpool Street Station and where the Israeli conference was booked that Netanyahu was to speak at.

PR company excercise

11.07.2005 12:32
From what I'm reading now that Visor Consultants, a PR company run by Peter Power (ex Scotland Yard and Terror Branch, also featured on early BBC reports on the day of the crisis), were running a "crisis management" type exercise on the morning of 7/7/05, involving the same scenario of multiple simultaneous bombings along the tube network (but no bus bomb apparently). Already their are stories which, by confusing and muddling the facts, fashion this probable coincidence into part of some government backed conspiracy. The PR firm had a bunch of crisis managers in a room to which they simulated the crisis scenario to. All the action took place within house, there were no personal in the actual tube system. Suddenly, by the power of the internet, the story became one of PR agents crawling through the tube system, with covert government agents using this exercise as cover to actually commit the real bombings.

I believe these stories originated from people who have an interest in peddling this sort of fabulous conspiracy in order to peddle their books, DVDs, tea towels and whatever to people. Problem is, many people will now use their story as the primary source and not check the original sources.

There are many reasons why several governments around the world would want such a bombing to occur, right now I don't think there's sufficient evidence to point the finger, at least in my opinion (and I admit I feel I'm far from having the whole picture). I just think that if revealing government involvement is important, then it needs to be presented level-headedly, without *any* assumptions or muddling of the facts that could be picked apart, if the ultimate goal is to alert the public as to what is happening.

Dear Ted Jones

You are quite an annoying entity aren't you. You feel free to criticise others for not checking further than the reposted story and yet fail to listen to the recording of the interview yourself. I have downloaded a copy of it. It took 2 minutes. Try it. You might learn something.

Finished.

Good.

That's right, you did hear correctly, Mr Powell states unequivocally that his control center was in charge of 1000 agents taking part in the pre planned drill which involved explosions in the locations where they then actually occured and at around the time they occured. This coincidence obviously seems reasonable to you?

Now I agree with you that Alex Jones and Prison Planet do have an ulterior motive in investigating these matters. I'm certain that they do make a tidy profit from DVDs and T-Shirts.

That does not alter the FACTS which they are reporting.

If you continue to post such biased opinions I will be less than happy with you.

1000 Agents

11.07.2005 15:02
err...actually, i did listen to the recording. He says that "we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London....". The company itself may have had over 1000 people employed in it, but that doesn't mean any of the people employed were anywhere near the tube system, the simulation could, as simulations often are, have been done entirely in house. There was no mention of the exercise taking place in the "real world", nor that all the people in the company took part in it. I agree that the statement does not rule it out either, but if the truth (if it is the truth) is to be accepted by more than just readers of conspiracy theory message boards, then it has, in your words, to be unequivocal.


Ted Jones

No, Father Ted, No.

11.07.2005 16:52
Much as I hate to argue semantics.

That is not what Peter Powell says in the recording. That is what the transcript of the recording reads.

In the recording he says "because at half past nine this morning, we were actually running an excercise for uh, oh, v, um, a company, with a thousand people in London, based on simaultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations it happened this morning. So I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing upright"

Almost but not quite, what is documented in the transcript. In the recording he is clearly hesitating as to how to describe his client, before settling on "a company". He is not saying that the company has over 1000 people in London, he is stating that 1000 people were involved in the excercise.

He goes on... "we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures"

If the excercise was entirely theoretical and did not involve anyone on the ground there would have been no need to differentiate between the drill and the real world as the in house excercise would have had no bearing on reality. Also what you are suggesting defies logic. Hiring a specialist crisis management group to perform a virtual event where all of the data is gathered as theory behind closed doors would be like having a fire drill in a school where the only people to know about it are the Head Teacher and senior staff and they gather all of the data from estimating how long it would take to get the kids out and to the assembly areas, on paper.

Now we all know that when a school has a fire drill, all of the teachers, staff and pupils are required to behave as if there were a real fire, the safety and evacuation data is collected from real events and in many cases the local fire service takes part to get data on how quickly they can respond.

Listen again, better yet give me your address and I'll loop the recording with a nice drum track, fill a CD and send it to you, just to be sure you understand what you are listening to.

London Bombings

12.07.2005 02:32
My daughter who lives in London, had to rearrange her travel to work that morning because her usual stop off station of Bank was closed for 'security reasons'. She felt there was 'something up'!

Kathryn Power
London Bombings

12.07.2005 02:51
Further to my comments, my daughter heard of the Bank station closure quite some time before the actual blasts were heard and so reading your article has just endorsed her feelings that there was an exercise going on at the same time as the blasts occurred.
The scale of the bombings has me puzzled too, how small it really was to what it could have been. So they have expended 'a few' for the 'good of all'....ie acquisition of global oil supplies..is that the mindset of these people?

Hi Kathryn.

Short answer... yes. Sacrafice some pawns, protect the king and queen. Capture all you want. Think several moves ahead and keep multiple strategies in play.

Did you notice also that the event seemed much bigger at the outset with, reports of seven targeted areas, huge casualty figures, then as the rest of the worlds media start to lose attention it gets less and less severe. Were the reported blasts, which we now know did not occur, part of the Visor operation? We know from the Daily Express cover photo 09.07 of the Tavistock Square bus just after the explosion, that the blast was not as severe as the damage and the television distance shot images which were broadcast worldwide made it seem. ("the driver pulled over to ask directions from two parking attendants because he had been diverted from his usual route" COME ON? what do you think we are? pre-school infants? He had made one left turn and was less than 400 yards off the No 30 route, how did he get lost? Check it out for yourself, bus route maps are available at the transport for London website.) The BBC news 24 live broadcast from that morning is an education in itself, I advise anyone who is an any doubt to get a copy as quickly as possible. Explaining everything that is on it would make me sound like a complete conspiracy nut. Watch it and judge for yourself.

Netanyahu and Gulliani were both in London, both nearby to detonation locations and both only too happy to forget whatever it was they were supposed to be doing and put on a show for the media, drawing unfounded comparison after unfounded comparison and telling us that we are all in this together and that violent sneaky evil middle eastern people were OBVIOUSLY to balme... although it is too soon to say (as an afterthought). Then, because business believes in making profits above all other concerns the information line for families of the victims is a premium rate number ??? You could not make this stuff up!

Add to that the constant round of bomb scares ever since then. Every city, more or less, has had one. With heavy police presence, and military, and armed officers. They don't all get reported on the national news, this means people caught up in the security illusion assume it is a reasonable local occurence. Where are they getting all of these armed police from? Did they grow them in jars? Is this Attack of the Clones?

Of COURSE the bombs were remotely detonated and those sneaky evil terrorists could strike again anywhere, anytime. So we all have to be under constant fear stress (those of us who actually care that is). The anti terrorism police have free license to raid any house they like in relation to the investigation... as long as it's in Leeds or Bradford or somewhere we all know the terrorists are being hidden by those resentful Muslim communities. How about raiding all the Mosques? You would love that wouldn't you, whoever you are (I'm not talking to you here Kath) another kristallnacht.

Kath, I hope you and your daughter are not afraid of the big bad wolf, show them no fear and they have no power (Monsters Inc). Even once we catch them, and we will get you, (come after me and a thousand more will take my place) the bitch that bore them will be in heat again... to paraphrase Churchill.

Have a good one, tell your friends.

this post is weird!!! maybe ITV News is in on the conspiracy also, they interviewed the managing director of visor consultants who were running the drill at the same times,same location,same day as the real thing.

see video clip here:  http://www.terrorize.dk/misc/london/london.terror.games.wmv

Blair said there will be no probe into the bombings, given this bit of information wouldn't you think it's worth looking into?

Here comes the conspiracy part of my post, maybe Blair has something to hide by not going ahead with an investigation?

"Alex Jones is in fact paid by the CIA to spin wild stories and encourage the deluded fanticies of lunitics in order to help cover up any real facts that might lead to the truth. We know this for a certainty as we spoke to some guy in the pub whos bosses girlfriend works for Alex Jones mothers hair dresser and she heard him admitting it."

I think that the tone of this sentence suggests that the poster might have been being ironic.

You know, just possibly.

Alex needs to get his business head on and watson need to check sources...

12.07.2005 14:36



security conferences have been held regularly over the last 4 years

crisis management teams have been readying
for an attack to keep the wheels of industry going, and the infrastructure stable

when i listened to the BBC - 5 Live recording... I took the time to
investigate other risk management strategies and conferences,
which is interesting enough in itself, as to the way business works.

--------------------------------------------
this is not meant as an attack on Watson or Jones
just as a piece of constructive criticism
bear with me, and we can work together on this
--------------------------------------------

as a pointer to the sensationalist tones of Jones & Watson:

when 'The ricin plot revealed' by Duncan Campbell was released and then
taken off the Guardian website

Paul J Watson

wrote that a D-Notice was placed on the piece

this was not true

when i investigated further

i discovered that Watson had spoken to
Simon Aranowitz
of 'thoughtcrime news'
who had simply floated the idea

this was then taken as de facto truth
and spun as the D-NOTICE on Ricin plot story

as a point of fact
D-Notices are something in which the media
agree to take part in

and the ricin case had a court
limit placed on reporting
certain scientists
from Porton Down for security reasons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
now the REAL agenda
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

the comments made by Peter Power are evidence of the mindset of the corporate
agenda

notice how, on BBC Five Live, he hypes
the exercises he was running on the very day of the bombing


he is doing this on National TV and radio

then when he makes the statement
"...hairs on the back of my neck"

he is asserting at how close his strtegy is...
and how great a risk manager he is...

then listen on...

he then goes into a rant using buzz-words
'slow to quick time thinking'

as if it is some sort
exiting, challenging work he is doing...like an
exited child

I think peter Allen got wind of this angle
and cuts him off

[well done Peter]



now anyone with business acumen
will tell you that this spot on media is a chance to sell your wares

so what he is doing is

bragging about how good his company is
to possible investors

this was an opportunity for him

he is being allowed to make possible capital out of
the London bombings...

Reptilian, or what?

even more worrying is that he is an ex
Policeman and security
expert

what does that say about the climate in 2005?


this is how our cities are being run...
its an eye opener, for sure...

when i looked into the risk management stuff
i made connections
with Rudi Guliani being in London too...

because we could apply the same scenario to 9-11

Giuliani Partners. Among its vice presidents are
former police chief Bernard Kerik,
former fire chief Thomas Von Essen

add to the 9-11 scenario the NIST report
with NIST being hugely involved in developing
future 'smart buildings technology'


the same people who are in charge of the safety of
buildings are running
risk management companies
and betting large scale
on the stock exchange

can you say

conflict of interest?

or is it


INTEREST GAINED FROM CONFLICT



i would love to know what Rudi Guliani was doing
in London

what meeting he was at

Are our cities [that's right, they're OURS]

er scratch that
the corporation of LONDON isn't


-------------------------------------------
The Corporation is older than parliament itself and today combines its ancient traditions and ceremonial functions with the role of a modern and efficient local authority, looking after the needs of its residents, City businesses and over 320,000 people who come to work in the City every day. Among local authorities the Corporation is unique; not only is it the oldest in the country but it operates on a non-party political basis through its Lord Mayor, Aldermen and members of the Court of Common Council. The Lord Mayor in particular plays an important diplomatic role with his overseas visits and functions at the historic Guildhall and Mansion House for visiting heads of State.

 http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/about_us/_whatis.htm

--------------------------------------------



so...er...any way


are their cities


just a fear based theme-park
ride for the super-rich to place bets on tech stock
...and amuse themselves?
