Many strange
facts from highly credible sources have come in regarding the London
bombings. The most astonishing is the following conversation which took
place the afternoon of the London bombing on BBC radio. The BBC host interviewed
Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as
a 'crisis management' advice company. Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard
official.
A Coincidence?
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.

clip was on the BBC website at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/fivelive_aod.shtml?fivelive/drive_thu
This clip unfortunately was removed one week after the original broadcast, though you can still listen to it here.
Mr. Power
repeats these statements on ITN television. The two-minute video clip is available

Below is another excerpt on this matter from the website of CBC, Canada's
public broadcasting TV network:
"CRISIS
PLANNING: When there is an emergency like the London bombings, the public
instinctively turns to professionals for help. We speak to two experts who
are in Toronto today for the World Conference on Disaster Management. Adrian
Gordon is the Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Emergency Preparedness,
and Peter Power is Managing Director of a London-based consulting firm
that specializes in crisis management, Visor Consultants - which on the morning
of July 7 was co-incidentally running a security exercise for a private firm,
simulating multiple bomb explosions in the London Underground, at the same
stations that were subsequently attacked in real life."
And here is
a two-minute video clip on CBC of Power telling his story:
http://www.cbc.ca/MRL/clips/rm-lo/charles_disasters050711.rm
Why didn't
these astounding statements draw front-page coverage both in the UK and US?
And why is Peter Power now backtracking on some of his earlier comments? This
situation is strikingly similar to a situation on 9/11 which should have made
front-page headlines that was reported in the Boston Globe:
"In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S.
intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant
aircraft would crash into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't terrorism
-- it was to be a simulated accident. Officials at the Chantilly, Va.-based
National Reconnaissance Office [NRO] had scheduled an exercise that morning
in which a small corporate jet would crash into one of the four towers at
the agency's headquarters building after experiencing a mechanical failure.
The agency is about four miles from the runways of Washington Dulles International
Airport." [So it was just a short hop for the NRO team to run
over and secure the Pentagon. And by the way, the NRO
has a budget estimated to be three
times that of the US State Department]
London
Bombs of Military Origin
Reuters news
service reports below on the explosives used in the London bombing:
http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2005-07-11T122706Z_01_N11466902_RTRIDST_0_NEWS-SECURITY-BRITAIN-INTELLIGENCE-DC.XML
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10335378
"'The
explosives appear to be of military origin, which is very worrying,' said
Christophe Chaboud, head of the French Anti-Terrorism Coordination Unit and
one of five top officials sent by Paris to London immediately after Thursday's
attacks."
The London
Times has an article confirming this:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-20749-1690391-20749,00.html
"A
SINGLE bombmaker using high-grade military explosives is believed to be responsible
for building the four devices that killed more than 50 people last week,
The Times can reveal. Similar components from the explosive devices have been
found at all four murder sites, leading detectives to believe that each of
the 10lb rucksack bombs was the work of one man. They also believe that the
materials used were not home made but sophisticated military explosives, possibly
smuggled into Britain from the Balkans."
Phony Al
Qaeda Claims?
Then MSNBC
informs us that the note posted on an alleged Al Qaeda-related website claiming
responsibility for the bombings may be phony:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8496293/
"MSNBC
TV translator Jacob Keryakes, who said that a copy of the message was later
posted on a secular Web site, noted that the claim of responsibility contained
an error in one of the Quranic verses it cited. That suggests that the claim
may be phony, he said. 'This is not something al-Qaida would do,' he said."
Blair Opposes
Probe Into Bombings?
And the highly
respected Financial Times has an article titled: "Blair rejects calls
for probe into bombings"
http://news.ft.com/cms/s/8186face-f17a-11d9-9c3e-00000e2511c8.html
"Tony
Blair will on Monday reject Conservative demands for a government inquiry
into last week's London bomb attacks, insisting such a move would distract
from the task of catching the perpetrators."
Does this
make any sense? Why wouldn't an investigation help to prevent something like
this from happening again? Blair's stance is strikingly similar to the early
opposition by both President Bush and Vice President Cheney to the establishment
of an independent commission to probe 9/11"
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/15/attack/main509096.shtml
http://www.WantToKnow.info/020204newsweek
"President
Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition
to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with
terror warnings before Sept. 11."
"Cheney
was calling to pre-emptively protest public hearings by other committees.
If the Democrats insisted, Bush administration officials might say they're
too busy running the war on terrorism to show up. Press the issue, Cheney
implied, and you risk being accused of interfering with the mission."
You Can
Make a Difference
Is it possible
that there is more to these bombings that we are being led to believe?
We have a wealth of information from highly reliable sources suggesting that,
at the very least, 9/11 was consciously allowed to happen by certain elements
within the government in order to forward the war agenda. To further explore this
revealing information with links to all original sources in our 9/11 Information
Center, click here.
Please help
to play the role at which our press is so sadly failing by spreading this
important news to your friends and colleagues. By opening our eyes to what
is going on and educating ourselves and those around us, we can and will build
a critical mass which will force major changes and bring us back to a full
democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people.
