LONDON BOMBINGS STORY GETS MORE AND MORE RIDICULOUS
Along with Ralph Schoenman, Fintan Dunne and many other commentators,
I have drawn attention over the last few weeks to the fact that the
official story of the 7/7 London bombings is wholly implausible. Over
the last few days, it seems that the authorities have tried to plug
some of the more obvious holes in the story. We are now being told that the bombers set the bombs off with buttons:
'All four bombs were triggered by the bombers pressing a button and not through mobile telephones. The disclosure contradicted theories that the four may have been duped into becoming suicide bombers.'
These statements - published with not a whit of evidence (Fintan Dunne correctly asks how the police know how the alleged bombers set off their bombs) - came out at the same time as a narrative of Habib Hussain's movements which is designed to account for the perplexing interval of nearly an hour between the explosions on the tube trains and the bomb aboard the Stagecoach bus. We are now being expected to believe that after the bombs had gone off at the previously agreed time, Hussain, whose inability to explode his own bomb at that time remains a mystery, tried to contact his erstwhile comrades on his mobile phone, and that he had a McDonalds 'meal' (if a Big Mac can be called such) shortly before he planned to shred his own stomach. Personally, I am amazed he still had an appetite, let alone that he saw any point in trying to ring his deceased comrades.
What the new 'information' (if police reports can be called such) actually does is incorporate even more nonsense into the existing story, generating a result that has still not budged an inch in the general direction of plausibility. After all, we know the four men fingered by the authorities didn't set off the bombs, whether by means of buttons or anything else, because the eyewitness testimony, which carries far more weight in my book than the police reconstruction of the crime, makes it abundantly clear that as was the case with the Madrid bombings the explosives had been planted underneath the trains. What's more, there are still no eyewitness accounts of sightings of any of the four alleged bombers at any of the crime scenes, nor has any CCTV footage been released - meaning that we still don't have any evidence that they were even in the Underground network at the time of the bombings. (They obviously can't be blamed for carrying out crimes if they can't even be placed at the crime scenes.)
It looks to me like the police turned up some CCTV footage of Hussain in a McDonalds and they realized that it could somehow be exploited to account for his movements in the mysterious missing hour. If we ever get to see this footage which The Independent thinks may exist (how is it that The Independent wasn't able to confirm whether or not the footage exists?), there will still be no way to verify that it was taken on 7/7 and not some prior occasion.
The fable of 7/7 deserves to be discounted by all reasonable people. Even if we accept that the four men made it to Luton station, which on account of a faked photograph is in doubt, the police still haven't even come up with an explanation as to how they made their way from Luton to London. In a previous post, I drew attention to an eyewitness who pointed out that events at Luton station that morning do not conform to the police narrative. That view has only been confirmed by researchers Nick Kollerstrom and James Stewart (here), who carried out their own interviews with 7/7 commuters at Luton station on August 23. According to their information, on 7/7 'it was physically impossible for the "supposed" London bombers to be filmed at 7.22 am at Luton station and also catch a train which arrived at Kings Cross prior to being filmed at 8.26 am.' Although there was a train at 7.24 am which arrived at Kings Cross at 8.20 am, Kollerstrom and Stewart found that it 'took 3 Minutes 35 Seconds to walk from the ground floor entrance, up and over to the ticket office, and back down to the London Platforms 1 & 3, without even including any time to purchase a ticket.' The bombers therefore could not have been on board the 7.24 am train unless it was running late. (If the train did depart a few minutes late, thereby enabling the four men to jump on board, why have the police told us they were on the 7.40 am train, which was cancelled?)
Since the public still hasn't been given a coherent story of how the alleged bombers got to London, I remain extremely sceptical about any allegations as to what they might have done once (if) they got there. The latest 'disclosures' should have us all holding our noses - although doing so rather makes it difficult to applaud Kollerstrom and Stewart for their admirable efforts in undermining a crucial part of the London bombings hoax.
AN ABSOLUTE MUST: Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone's excellent commentary on the de Menezes murder here. This one-hour radio programme is the only sane and sensible commentary to be found anywhere about this festering sore on the British body politic and its true meaning. British civil liberties are history, folks! (Australians beware - you're next.)
