BBC: UK-Bombing 'Exercises' Covered for Real Attack, same as 9/11
Edited on Sat Jul-09-05 11:10 PM by evolvenow
BBC: London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack

Pay attention, this is from BBC.

This story includes links to Operation Gladio and
other important historical landmarks of US, UK and Russian false flag
state-sponsored terror.




London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at
Same Time as Real Attack
Culpability cover scenario echoes 9/11 wargames

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.

4. easy now...
tread very carefully here...

threads that suggest that people acted in concert to commit a crime (so called --c-o-n-s-p-i-r-a-c-y theories) are usually derided here.

9. So What? Let them deride.
Edited on Sat Jul-09-05 11:09 PM by Skip Intro
2000, 9*11, Anthrax, TERROR, Patriot Act, 2002, Iraq, Wellstone, Osama, Cheney, Hallibuton, Rumsfled, Saddam, Iraq, Condoleeza Rice, Iraq, Terror Alert! - Never mind, Bush, Saudi Arabia, 9*11, Iraq, Oil, Halliburton, Enron, Dems=Terrorists, 9*11, Iraq..LIES DEATH DESTRUCTION CHAOS....

Yet we insist upon projecting some basic humanity on this group, on this crowd, this gang. We insist they have a line which they will not cross. Yeah, they've slautered tens and tens of thousands of people for fake reasons, but SURELY they wouldn't stage some even that took fifty or so lives.

And shut up talking about what is within the realm of possibility. And how dare you even think it. My God, what would the people on the right think?

Just what are the bounds for this super-criminal gang?

It seems more bizarre to me NOT to ask the question. To wonder why this peice and that piece don't quite fit. To wonder why the story is changing. To ask one simple question and follow the logic:

Who benefitted? Who stood to gain from this or that action? Who did gain?

Nothing wrong with pondering these things.

11. oh, don't take me wrong...
i agree with you almost 100%.

Actually, though my reply was to the OP, it was more of a sarcastic remark (in what may have been a very lame way) to those who would disagree.

5. I bet you ANYTHING
Edited on Sat Jul-09-05 11:01 PM by FreedomAngel82
it's the same people who did 9/11. There were practices of 9/11 too in months leading up to it. Remember those reports? I can't remember who was doing it but they were. I also remember seeing a photo (black and white) of a group of men (about four/five of them) standing around a miniture Pentagon with fire in the middle and all that. :crazy: When I heard about the London attacks I had the sense of the same thing I got on 9/11. I also sensed that the same group of people probably did 9/11. They're different people in general but it is connected. I think it could possibly be a warning to the people of Britian not to pull out of Iraq. Blair announced just days before that they were going to pull out.... Interesting about Guiliani being there too. It could be nothing but him being there in the Olympic bid for NYC but he had a warning to leave building seven (his headquarters was there) fifteen or so minute's before the tower was pulled.

10. I believe the locking had to do with the source of the article
and possibly the name behind the source of the article.
Be prepared for a lockdown.

14. yes it did, but I gave the link because so much was discussed
I will wait for the truth. The source is dubious but some of the players described are real
which you can look at in the link.

25. I agree that the story is at least worthy of note,
even if we let it fly low on the radar. In fact, I bookmarked both this thread and Will's just so I could see if this piece would fit somewhere in the puzzle later.

22. Just because someone is interviewed on the BBC...
DOES NOT LEGITIMIZE THAT VIEWPOINT! (ever read those disclaimers, "the opinions expressed in the <interview/person> does not necessarily represent the opinion of <company>"


It is quite incorrect to site BBC as the "source", thats like me saying Time magazine supports Hitler and Stalin because they were picked as Times "people of the year".

30. what for?
first hit:
Peter Power is Managing Director of Visor Consultants Limited based in Piccadilly, London. He has considerable front-line crisis experience and is, uniquely, a Fellow of the Emergency Planning Society, Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute, Fellow of the Business Continuity Institute, Fellow of the Institute of Risk Management and a member of the Guild of Freemen of the City of Londo


second hit:
Apr 27, random photos
spring has finally arrived (sort of) so I've been out taking photos of odd motorcycle-paced cycling events, cacti, cheese, people eating plants and walks in the countryside.

:wtf:

27. ...
First of all, is this even relevant? Ill wait for some serious (read: real, non infowars whacky) sources first.

But, just for the sake of argument, even if it is true, whats the relavance? coincidences happen, could indeed be lying, could be mistaken, could be fake etc... Are we trying to imply that, somehow, the UK government bombed its own people?

there was an ex-mi5 agent that claimed 9/11 was staged, course, he was out of the intelligence business for years before 2001 so treating that with a grain of salt is more than that deserved.

16. Wheres the BBC Link?
I only see Prison Planet story and one BBC link on the highlighted word 'simultaneous' which refers to the train bombs exploding together...not the bombing events coinciding with a simultaneous drill.

"Prison Planet" is not acceptable in this forum. If you can provide a BBC link without the "Prison Planet" material, feel free to do so.
