CCTV sabotage or something more sinister?

Og | 16.07.2005 13:21 | Repression | London

Thank God MI6 do a sloppy job and thank Heavens some people still have the guts to tell the truth. The only ones who are buying the official story, which is falling apart, are police and politicians who want to enforce more obscene Draconian terror laws.

London Stagecoach Employee Says Bus Bombing Suspicious

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet | July 15 2005

We received an e mail from an employee of Stagecoach,
the company responsible for the majority of London buses.

Our contact works a route roughly one mile from the site
of the bus bombing last Thursday.

The bus driver pointed out that the number 30 bus was the only one to be re-routed after the initial bombs went off in the London Underground, every other bus carried on its normal journey, but for some reason this bus was diverted.

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.

Drivers in the depot already think the so called bombers had inside help because it was to organised. Some even think it had help from the company."

I have received other information suggesting that the CCTV
is regularly maintained and checked. The police pay the bus company to check it, and the bus company makes a substantial profit out of this, so all parties benefit from keeping the CCTV systems working.

This information makes it all the more suspicious that the bus cameras were not working.

Was the mammoth 20 hour inspection session of the CCTV
a means of disabling the CCTV, or something even darker?
Were the contractors, who were not familiar to the bus company employees, actually placing the bomb?

But don't worry, the media are drooling over this picture of supposed suicide bomber Hasib Hussain, who we are told detonated the bus bomb.

Well, it's a grainy picture of a Muslim guy with a rucksack,
case closed! That's good enough evidence for me, I'm going back to sleep.

It's beyond doubt that these four Muslims were framed.
They were most likely hired as MI6 spies, sent to Pakistan
and then brought back and told they were to take part
in an important exercise to test national security.
Give them the rucksacks, get them on the trains
and then detonate the bombs remotely.

Do you really believe for a second that guys with 8 month babies and guys who taught diasbled schoolchildren would want to blow themselves up and kill other innocent people?

And we're supposed to listen to someone who doesn't know what MI6 is?

>> London Stagecoach Employee Says Bus Bombing Suspicious

This is the most surreal comment I have seen since the last surreal comment ("neighbour says bomb-suspect was a nice lad").

Thankfully he puts the Prisonplanet reference at the start, thereby flagging up the humorous tone of the piece....otherwise you can be halfway in before you realist its all a skit.

"CCTV gets maintained at least 2 or 3 times a week and can digitally store upto 2 whole weeks worth of footage."

Because, like, if you were a bus compnay you'd buy CCTV that needs constant maintenance. Got to be cost efficient, eh?

"Drivers in the depot already think the so called bombers had inside help because it was to organised. Some even think it had help from the company."

A cunning marketing move by Stagecoach that, eh? I can see ol' Ann Gloag's new moto now - "Citylinking - smart thinking, Stagecoach - we blow our busses up".

"It's beyond doubt that these four Muslims were framed. "

Really. "Beyond doubt"? That's a high hurdle. Lets see your evidence? And we don't mean PrisonPlanet or the dodgy Israeli links.

This may turn out to be a conspiracy - hell weirder things have happened - but there's nothing worse that the shambles we're getting from the conspiricists.

MI6 - who are you referring to Magoo?

16.07.2005 16:06

We are not supposed to listen to someone who doesn't know what MI6 is, according to Magoo. Just who are you referring to?

It looks like either:

a) You a farting from the wrong orifice or

b) You know something which the intelligence services don't know about themselves

Given events of the past few decades, I'd say that both scenarios are equally likely - but your breath stinks!

I rest my case...

Ooooh personal hygiene insults. Very good.

Do you know what MI9 is Mr Magoo?

But Magoo

But Magoo mate, the conspiricists (what a great word) will either give you some forensic analysis of the MI6 web site based on reliable sources like Prisonplanet or in fact claim that their web site is deliberately misleady anyway!

There's healthy scepticism, then there's a line. Then there's that we dot miles away, the otherside of the line. That's the conspiricists.

I will, of course, eat my words if it turns out to be Mossad....

perhaps

Perhaps the 'sinister' bit is really the privatisation of puiblic transport and the 'benefits (!) that brings. Maybe the camera wasn't working as the company was trying to 'slash costs' , 'staff morale' etc etc. - see Jarvis et al.

ah, they were hired as MI5 spies

16.07.2005 21:32

that explains it.

Knock, knock.
"Yes?"
"Good morning. My name is Smith, and I'm from MI5."
"Really?"
"Yes. Can I come in?"
"Of course. Have a cup of tea ... now what's this about?"
"Well, we'd like you to spy for us."
"Spy for you? Oh goodie. Yes, please. What do I have to do?"
"Well, now, here's this ticket for Pakistan ..."

You can just see it, can't you?

MI9

No I didn't think you knew too much about GCHQ or MI1 and MI9. Perhaps a little more research would add a more cutting edge to your humour, it would certainly help you better understand MI6's remit. Also if you read the MI5 'about us' page you'd probably laugh your tits off! I hope those x-bow bolts have silver tips and don't forget to eat loads of garlic before you go to bed.

Alex (Lexicon Smith): ??? what planet are you on. Who doesn't know all about GCHQ. Lots of people in my neck of the woods have social connections to Cheltenham. MI1 & MI9 FFS what relevance have they got in the 21st century?

You going to have pot quizzes about the Rattenlinie next?
