London Bomb–What a Crock of Crap!!

by
Larry C Johnson

So I turn on the telly this morning and find breathless CNN anchors hyperventilating over the nuclear suicide car weapon of mass destruction discovered smoldering outside of a London nightclub.  One report from the scene notes that:

London police were contacted when witnesses saw a Mercedes being driven erratically near London West End
night club Tiger Tiger, and the driver jumped out of the automobile and ran away. The car was reported to
have two gasoline canisters and be full of nails.

CNN adds:

Explosives officers discovered the fuel and nails attached to a "potential means of detonation," inside the vehicle. Officers "courageously" disabled the trigger by hand, he said.

Security sources told CNN that the "relatively crude device" in the first car contained at least 200 liters, or about 50 gallons, of fuel in canisters.

You know what you call a vehicle with 50 gallons of gas?  A Cadillac Escalade.  The media meltdown over this incident is simply shameful.

For starters, gasoline is not a high explosive.  If we were talking 50 pounds of Semtex or the Al Qaeda standby, TATP, I would be impressed.  Those are real high explosives with a detonation rate in excess of 20,000 feet per second.  Gasoline can explode (just ask former owners of a Ford Pinto) but it is first and foremost an incendiary.  If the initial reports are true, the clown driving the Mercedes was a rank amateur when it comes to constructing an Improvised Explosive Device aka IED.  Unlike a Hollywood flick the 50 gallons of gas would not have shredded the Mercedes into lethal chunks of flying shrapenal.

The fact that "officers courageously disabled the trigger by hand" coupled with the report of the smoke in the car leads me to believe that the mad London "bomber" tried to construct a Molotov cocktail of sorts and lit a cloth fuze.  Fortunately he left the windows in the car up and there was not enough oxygen to really get the fire going.  Looks like the brave British police reached in and snuffed the flame.

Judging from the overreaction to this non-incident I think we can safely conclude that Osama Bin Laden will remain holed up in Pakistan and let the fear mongers at CNN, MSNBC, and FOX do the dirty business of scaring the shit out of people.

UPDATE:  Ahh, the panic continues.  Yuppie terrorists are on the loose.  Now we’re being told there are two cars (both Mercedes I might add) with a Rube Goldberg contraption consisting of propane tanks, some petrol, a light bulb (or maybe light bulb filaments), etc.  A propane tank explosion makes a hell of a noise but does not create widespread shrapnel dispersion.  Busted eardrums and broken glass are more likely.  Getting these tanks to explode is difficult.   The ones I have witnessed occurred when a house under construction caught on fire.  But there is nothing in two 25lb propane tanks inside a Mercedes that will detonate with sufficient force to shred the automobile and send hundreds to meet their Allah, God, Buddha, or whatever.  Still a crock of hype and over-reaction.  Let the police do their job.  Investigate the culprits and get these nitwits out of circulation before they harm themselves.

    Thank god for some good ol’ C.S.

    So, it’s another day to turn to alternative radio/TV just to escape the endless breathless reporting on this.

    “Gasoline can explode (just ask former owners of a Ford Pinto) …” (Or, tragically, the state troopers across the country driving Ford Crown Victorias (is that the name?) who’ve been horribly burned …)

    “You know what you call a vehicle with 50 gallons of gas? A Cadillac Escalade. The media meltdown over this incident is simply shameful.” -priceless

    I would add “driven by a southern california contractor to account for the nails.

    I was just watching CNN and a reporter had been interviewing Britons and their response was, “what’s the big deal? You can’t ban all cars and handbags, so carry-on.” No hyperventilation on the Brits part.

    it looked pretty amateurish to me also. unfortunately, anything resembling an improvised terror/guerrilla weapon being discovered outside of the middle east is going to get sensationalized.

  • FRE

    The gas has WMD in it. When burned in the engine, the WMD is released. He was supposed to drive around the city.

    The new PM was just sworn in. He was a minister of finanace and all those are, of course, evil. The London bombings came when Blair was taxing his people for a foreign group. The Live8/G8 GDP tax was doubled by Blair the next day. Rumor had that it was someone in the government who used the terrorists that MI5/6 was watching. Minister of finance.

  • Leslie

    Just glad they caught it in time, in no small part due to the incompetence of the would be bomber.

    It may have been amateurish, but this is the 2nd anniversary of London’s July 7th bombing and the second day in office for PM Brown. So the timing may be significant.

    There were gas canisters of propane found too–are those incendiary or do they explode?

    So far, the US has been very lucky. Considering how Bush has defunded first responders, sent the National Guard to Iraq and helped boost al Qaeda recruitment.

  • Shirin

    Well, call me cynical. This looks to me like just one more well-timed “just-in-time” bogus event designed to keep the public afraid – whew! Saved again by the brave po-lees from apocalyptic conflagration at the hands of the Islami menace. My first reaction was that this looks rather staged. Sorry to say, it still doesn’t quite ring true.

    So far every single one of those “just-in-time” breakups of nefarious doomsday plans has turned out to be a bad joke. This one is possibly in the worst taste yet.

  • Leslie

    Shirin,
    With Bush I might believe that, but not so much with the Brits. The BBC reports don’t sound staged.

  • wethornet

    susanunpc, good catch about the problem with crown vics here in this country. (i have a post for you re problem with email at the jfk warrior for peace post. also, have a long post, with many resources listed, there explaining the milieu where commenter john rowland is coming from. once upon a time there were good conservatives. back in the day.)

    at the 911 confer. in august of 2005 in chicago i heard a former mi5/6 whistleblower speak. good looking woman. fairly young. said they create the problems (eg. libya) to do what they want to pursue their corp. agenda. our gvt. wouldn’t let her boyfriend/finance/husband into the country to speak at the confer. she also told a tale straight out of a novel where they blew the whistle and escaped to france, and were on the run, and eventually the french authorities acting on behest of the brits arrested them.

    also, there was a british/irish guy, who was the big cheese about uncovering what he saw as the lies around 7/7. key take away point: the bombs in the backbacks that the 4 swarthy m.e. lads left behind that caused the explosion……..well, according to eye witness testiomony of those on the subway who fled……the floor was buckled from the bottom up. in other words, the bombs were *under* the subway cars. and were planted there. the science of the explosion does not support the cover story. it’s kind of like saying the crooks burgularized your house and got in thru the broken window and stole a bunch of stuff and your putting in this insurance claim. but the cops look at the evidence and the broken glass is on the *outside* in the flower bed and not on the floor inside.

    a big part of how i came to be radicalized is that as i investigate all this stuff, the science doesn’t support the cover story. just one eg. sirhan sirhan and rfk. never got more than a few feet in front of bobby. shot that killed bobby fired 2″ behind his right ear. this is based on the gunpowder on kennedy’s ear. is this from the tin foil hat brigade? well, only if you consider thomas naguchi, the la county coroner to be a charter member. david talbot mentions this in brothers, the hidden history of the kennedy years. page 373.

    (what’s not clear to me is thata talbot says naguchi mentions this in his memoir published in 1983. was this mentioned publically before this? and if not, why not? incident happens in 1968. regardless of that, talbot says this startling fact “received surprisingly scant attention” in the m$m.)

    FRE, great point about the timing of the controversial g8 meeting ……and whoops, i have to go comfort my people and deal with this terrorist attack. and notice how the tax aspect just got totally shoved to the side.

    a major, major key issue ahead for the brits will be whether they join the eu. there is fierce pressure on the part of the european & global elites for them to do so.

    lastly, i would say that it seems at best suspicious, and at worst, actually deliberately planned that every time the administration gets into pol. trouble and things are looking fugly…….oh, mirable dictu here comes another turrorist attack to save their a*s. former vietnam infantry grunt, pa. gov and what was his job??? homeland security director??…….has said that the bush admin. played games for pol. purposes with the color codes and altering the alert status. (these people have forfeited all rights by their gross criminal conduct and need to be removed posthaste.)

  • Centrocitta

    Yeah, those Brits are really nauseating, arn’t they? Europeans, however are not fooled. They are well aware that the rudest, crudest and next to worst dressed tourists on the continent arn’t credible. Even Tony Blair and his family are no longer welcome at their summer retreat in the French Pyrenees. Unfortunately, for Italians, Blair has been talking to the Pope about becoming a Catholic. If he has the Pope’s blessing, he might be allowed to live in Italy. Too bad.

  • Montag

    Larry, reminds me of the joke about the terrorist who tried to mail postcard bombs to save on postage. He had a very short career.

  • Shirin

    Leslie, the Brits have certainly been willing participants in the “keep the public scared” project. Remember that bogus explosive liquid plot they broke up last year just in time to save the world? And was that not well timed with something or other? I don’t recall, but I do recall that the whole thing was absurd. And there was another equally bogus one in Britain last year, I just can’t remember the details right now.

    I don’t know, really, but something about it feels fishy.

  • Shirin

    PS That whole liquid explosives plot was as bogus as can be, but that DID give them an opportunity to remind us that we are in extreme danger every time we travel by adding one more useless layer to the inconvenience of it.

  • Shirin

    PPS If today’s event were supposed to be connected to the anniversary of the underground bombing, wouldn’t they do it on the actual anniversary, or at least much closer to it? Why would they do it eight days before?

    Doesn’t make sense.

  • Centrocitta

    From a European perspective, there is only ONE good thing about the UK. It’s up North and far West. Europeans can go all over the continent without having to go near the place.

  • Leslie

    Yeah, but Shirin,
    I think the Brits really did defuse some sort of crude incendiary device, possibly a bomb. They’ll find out who was behind it soon…London has TV cameras everywhere.

    Wait a minute–I heard that there was propane in the vehicle.

    I saw a quote that said that “hundreds” of people could have been killed.

    I saw a news factoid–”the US has NOT raised the terror warning indicator after the discovery in London.”

    Hysterics and fear mongering abound.

    It used to be, the Brits lived with homegrown terror–the IRA blowing things up, firing mortars in downtown London, sinking yachts. Our homegrown terror amounted to a few crazies blowing up abortion clinics and McVeigh. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the collective response to all of those things was not to torture everyone we could pay to get our hands on and wet ourselves in abject terror.

    Ahh, for a return to the good old days when people in this country weren’t afraid of a goddamned thing.

    “From a European perspective, there is only ONE good thing about the UK. It’s up North and far West. Europeans can go all over the continent without having to go near the place.”

    Your racism is a fairly ugly thing and I can only assume that it’s connected with the same facism that Britain and America helped to destroy sixty years ago.

  • Darin Barrows

    More scare tactics to keep the sheeple on edge and in check. Please! These tactics don’t work anymore. People are on to the way these criminals in government work, and the terror tactics are state sponsored. The “war on terror” is a war on the people, by government, and not by Islamic fascists or Al-Qaeda, who are made up. TV news lies, misinforms, and distorts situations for their own power gains and financial and political reasons.

    I heard on ABC radio this morning as I was getting ready for work, that the government has advised Americans to “be vigilant” – whatever that means.

    I did not, however, hear that the government said to “be vigilant, and keep shopping”.

  • Dick Tater

    Just one. that’s all I want to see. Just one picture of a guy in a bomb suit. All I have seen in the numerous photos is one guy in blue paper coveralls. Now, if those blue paper coveralls are some sort of new bobmb suit, I want a set. oh yeah, no bomb disposal vehicle or robot can be seen in any of the photos either.

    jamesD – you sad mofo.

  • Mark

    A little transatlantic dictionary is needed here. Gas this side of the pond refers to just that, Gas, such as butane or propane, not the stuff you lot put in your cars. Cannisters for holding gas are highly presurised steel barrels and I wouldn’t like to see one blow.

    Whilst I agree that the media are blowing this out of proportion, I disagree with your attempt to dismiss it as a mobile molotov. Both sides of the press should show more responsibility, yourself included.

    FROM LARRY JOHNSON:
    Nothing explodes and yet it is something? What alternate universe are you inhabiting? Unlike you, I’ve seen propane tanks blow. They make a really loud noise. But you need a pretty big fire or high explosive to get them to detonate. Neither present in this case. Yet, let’s use the fear factor to hype terror. Makes for good politics.

  • Centrocitta

    ….Your racism is a fairly ugly thing and I can only assume that it’s connected with the same facism that Britain and America helped to destroy sixty years ago….

    If London keeps up the scare tactics, it won’t have any visitors at all — and it has NOTHING to do with racism.

  • Slip Knot

    That can’t scare people if you don’t watch. I locked CNN off my TV years ago because I got tired of all the anxiety they created. American’s will still eat it up or the news shows wouldn’t be hyping it so much.

  • Marvin

    Explosive vehicles, Paris Freed, Rosie and the View, Hillary/Barack, global warming, all distractions. While the mainstream media creates illusions, der fuhrer steps on our throats by opening our mail, arresting reporters for asking about 9/11 (Lepacek) and convicting reporters for exposing 9/11 (Chris Bollyn), suspending habeas corpus, stealing private lands, banning books like “America Deceived” from Amazon, rigging elections, conducting warrantless wiretaps and starting wars for a foriegn gov’t. Soon, the sinking of an Aircraft Carrier(by Mossad) will occur and the US will ‘retaliate’ against Iran. Which AIPAC-lobbying country benefit’s from that?

  • wethornet

    leslie, re your london has cameras everywhere…….don’t have details on hand, but on the 7/7 incident the authorities reported that most of tv cameras — which are ubiquitous –didn’t work at the absolutely critical locations. many locations. so the video confirming tony bLIAR’s tale was m.i.a. missing in action. who benefits? and the us gvt has tons of video about the pentagon plane crash and won’t release it. at some point along the way i got tired of playing charlie brown to their lucy and pull away the football routine. their actions prove they are scum, traitorous scum, evil toad scum. i don’t believe a thing they say. and is the goal to implement big brother? i’m so glad we’re spreading freedom in the m.e. and trashing the sh*t out of it here at home. and, if they hate us for our freedoms why aren’t they bombing geneva and stockholm. another stupid for the ’08 election. it’s our foreign policy, stupid!

    also, re your comments about aren’t we lucky……i agree totally about the defund the first responders, etc part…..what i would like to see in the national discourse is how treasonous it is to leave our border wide open after 911. if it’s an existential threat then act accordingly. i mean what’s up with that? and my point is this is something that joe sixpack who watches faux tv would get. i want to destroy these peckerheads.

    shirin, re the liquid stupidity. agree totally. additionally, scientists looked into it w/i days and this was reported on the internet, and said it was pure unadulterated bullsh*t. the official story did not square up with how this would actually work. and there were flat out lies in the authorities accounts. and since liquids combining are dangerous i’m sure it makes perfect sense (/snark/not) that we dump them into a trash bin to mix together as we go thru the “security” checkpoints at the airports.

    jd allow me to suggest that you research how the americans financed the fascism that they went and fought. prescott bush was in bed with the nazis, along with many, many prominent americans. and p. bush — and many others of his ilk — continued for 10 1/2 months AFTER pearl harbor! more tinfoil hat stuff? this is per us gvt documents. think you can google p. bush and vesting order 242. treason runs in the family. think also that john loftus/lofton has written about this. this he was a former us gvt investigator. also in new hampshire gazette iirc.

    this ran in some papers the weekend that george w. was in the phillipines on the ap wires. think it was c. 18 oct. 2004. bush was there for an aesen (whatever that is; the asian countries and the us assctn.) mtg. i remember the secret service wouldn’t let him stay overnight in manila. we invade in 1898 and our guy can’t r.o.n. (remain overnight) 106 years later. ain’t nation building great??? the nyt and wapo didn’t run it. and a story of this magnitude — president’s grandfather was hitler’s bff (internet for best friend forever) — was a “one day wonder.” go figure.

    also, read antony sutton’s short books about wall st. and the russian rev. in ww1 and wall st. and the nazis. neat little racket. make money coming and going, on both sides of the war. they lie, people die, they get rich, civil liberties, those inalienable rights, get cut down more and more.

    also, i didn’t see how centro’s remark was racist. maybe i’m missing something.

    Wethornet,
    I’m not advocating video cameras and Big Brother on every street corner, just stating facts: London has a lot of cameras.

    The BBC’s reporting that they have an image of the guy responsible for the first car from one of those cameras.

    They’ve also found a second car rigged the same way. The car had originally been parked underground near Trafalgar Square, and had been towed to a street near Buckingham Palace, when workers smelled gasoline and became suspicious.

    No doubt the US media is playing this up for all its worth. Nevertheless it sounds as if the threat was real, and luckily caught in time. Unless there are more cars out there set to go off.

    1. spoke with a senate staffer. congress is now out for the 4th of july recess. they return on 9 july. please, please, please consider calling or better yet visiting you congresscritter and senator. find out where they are going to be and attend the event. give ‘em hell…..in a polite way.

    2. august recess. from 3 aug to 4 sept. again please, pretty please consider visiting your local office. fyi, i believe there is another “project occuptation” scheduled around the country around this time. this is where activists go in and talk with staff. a few want to get arrested. MOST do not. congress is really feeling the heat. as reagan was fond of saying, “if you (the people) bring the heat, they (congress) will see the light.” also, most people have a bassackwards view of change occurs in this country. it is from the bottom up. favorite bumper sticker: if the people lead long enough, the leaders will follow.

    this is from a guy named jeff leys iirc. he is with kathy kelly’s organization, which was called voices in the wilderness. had to change it as they ran afoul of the treasury dpt. for helping the iraqis during sanctions. kelly’s been nominated for the nobel peace prize 3x. as molly ivins said, find out who is raising hell in your neighborhood and join ‘em. 3 groups that i know of around the country. the quakers. american friends service cmte. veterans for peace, vfp. and code pink.

    That’s just my point, Leslie, I don’t know what or how much to believe, particularly given the Bushies’ history of extremely conveniently timed big scary events that always – I mean ALWAYS turn out to be, if not completely manufactured, then seriously hyped. My tendency is not to believe a thing that comes from them that even smells vaguely of – shiver, shake, quiver, tremble – terrrrrrorism.

    Can anyone name a single one of the numerous foiled-just-barely-in-time plots that 1) did not involve a government-connected instigator/enabler who had infiltrated the group for the purpose of getting something incriminating? and 2) upon examination did not turn out to be a bunch of wacked-out kooks with neither the means nor the brains nor the will to do more than just talk about outlandish ways to do violence?

    It all looks very contrived, if not completely manufactured out of thin air, doesn’t it?

  • Cee

    Not a word about Cheney on the news today. Mission accomplished.

  • Leslie

    Except that this sounds like there was more to it than whacked-out kooks with neither the brains, the means, nor the will to do anything other than brag to police….

    According to reports, the London guys had the cars, the canisters of propane or butane and gasoline all rigged to cell phones. It sounds like these things were more than just incendiary devices. If they’d gone off, passersby could’ve been hurt.

    At this point, without more info, my best guess is that the Bushies are in the fortunate position of being able to take advantage of this.

    I mean have you ever known the Bushies to succeed at anything??? [aside from scaring a lot of people]

    It came at a time when Congress is in recess, so limited oversight in response can occur.

    Let’s see what kind of procedural end run Cheney tries to enact in court regarding unrelated items…

    As for the action, it appears to be a motivate indivdual at this time. Someone with working access to the items planned to be put in use.

    You could settle an old grude and blame it on something else that way. It would depend on where the target ordiance, measly as it was, were to be expectedly placed.

My problem with a bogus war on terrorism is that I’ve known since Jr. High Social Studies class that the powers that be have always used terrorism as an excuse to take away our liberties for a phony security. It’s not a war on terrorism folks, IT’S A COUP! The way to keep the terrorists from winning, along with anyone who uses terrorism to scare people into agreement, is simply to not be terrorized, and get on with life as always. Unfortunately America has fallen for the bull, and our 9/11 Richstag fire was only the beginning. I’m living in a country of fools.

    “Not a traditional jihadist because it was clearly not a suicider.”

    Mr. Murder, are you saying that all “traditional jihadists” are suiciders? If so, I beg to differ. In fact, only a very small percentage are. All “jihadists” are NOT suiciders, and all suiciders are “jihadists”.

    I DO agree with you that there is no possible way that whoever did this was a “jihadist”, traditional or otherwise, nor did it come from any international terrorist group. (Based on the sheer ineptitude of it, it looks like whoever did it was taking lessons from the Bushista neocon crowd, actually – and no, I am not saying…although…)

    Oooooops – should be “all suiciders are NOT ‘jihadists’”

    In fact, suicide bombs are relatively new to “jihadism”. They picked it up from the Tamil Tigers, who are most assuredly NOT “jihadists”.

    At the going rate for gasoline in greater London (more than US$10/gal, last time I was there), you have to grudgingly admire the industry of anyone who can manage to acumulate 50 gallons of the stuff, whether by hook or crook.

    Stealing the Mercedes was probably easier than getting 50 gallons of petrol…

    As someone who works in Central London all I can say is, wow. No wonder America is screwed. If this is your level of civil discourse you’re stuffed. Big time

    This is a genuine car bomb in London and you’re blaming it on Bush? Step back people. A second car bomb has been found; we’ve been hearing all sorts of stories all day, but hey, you’re all going to just blame Bush

    “Gas” – talk about two countries divided by a common language. There are many apocryphal stories about Americans asking for the “Gas Station”. Over here, that’s the power plant, etc.

    Whilst it’s a very serious matter I had to suppress a laugh at a “Terrorism Expert” who confuses petrol with Propane.

    Oh, and nice touch about “courageous” – the bloke who was there displayed more courage that you’d do in a million years

    “Gas” in the UK (that’s London, England BTW) means Propane, Butane, etc.
    The first car contained numerous propane cylinders. Plus nails, etc. That’s not propaganda; it’s been all over the BBC today

    And why are we Brits somewhat magnanimous about this? Well, we’ve had to deal with over 25 years of American funded IRA terrorism, so we’re fairly used to this sort of thing, i.e. we don’t run screaming to Mummy and bomb Belgrade / Khartoum / Baghdad, etc. when this sort of thing happens

  • tomj

    Thank you for being the first person on television to note that gasoline and propane doesn’t make a bomb that could do much.

    It is disturbing that there was an attempt, but I really wonder why these events are elevated above the horror produced by delusional individuals with a few weapons. If these severely disturbed people can get it together enough to kill a dozen innocent people, where do these would be terrorists rate on the threat scale? Hell, we have more deaths by senile old drivers than terrorists, and personally I would rather die in a terrorist attack than be run down by a grey haired, wrinkled skinned idiot that can no longer tell the difference between the break and the gas.

    I joked about them being a protest at the smoking ban earlier this morning, but after seeing Larry on ‘Countdown’, I can’t help thinking that whoever did this thought that turning on the gas bottles might have put enough into the open air for someone lighting a ciggie to set it off.

    There’s always the potential connection with Gay Pride in London this weekend: the last bombs before the July 7th attacks were David Copeland’s nail-bombs, on gay and minority districts of London.

    The IRA used nail bombs in that part of London back in 1982:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_Park_and_Regents_Park_bombings

    They were fans of Semtex, though.

    So I’m curious. I have to say that there’s an instinctive association in Britain of Mercs with Arabs (shiny new models) and South Asians (1980s ones). But that’s just stereotyping.

    It’s sad to say, but in my experience the majority of Brits ARE scared. I had an argument in work this morning with the rest of the guys on my shift; I was outnumbered 9-1. They are ALL convinced it’s Muslim terrorists, and they are ALL of the mind that the police should be given ANY powers they need to protect them, even to the extent that at least 6 of them said they’d willingly be microchipped for their own protection. And these are intelligent guys, all engineers, all used to working with logic.

    Folks, ALL terrorism these days is state-sponsored. C’mon! If people REALLy wanted to kill and maim hundreds of people, would they really resort to such pathetic weak tactics? There was NO guarantee either of those cars were going to explode; that is NOT the modus operandi of a major worldwide terrorist network. This was a scare tactic, pure and simple – and the sad thing is, it worked! People ARE scared. The media doesn’t even need to mention the MidEast and relatively intelligent people have convinced themselves that Muslims are to blame and therefore we are fully justified in pounding the living shit out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Circular and disjointed logic, to be sure, but that’s how people are “thinking”. Drives me up the wall….

    it looks like you might be on to something,
    the Israeli intelligence website ‘Debka’ is now running a story about the London bombing attempts and basically saying the same thing. Usually Debka are the first in line when in comes to fear-mongering about terror but this time they’re baffled by how amateurish the attempt was and how the British are spinning it.
    the article is in Hebrew and basically says this: the cars had 60 liters of benzine next to 2 propane tanks, one of the cars had a handful of nails on the floor. there was no trigger device to be found anywhere and the only way to have the bombs explode is to light a fire inside the car so that the benzine combusts and causes the tanks to explode.
    total amateur hour compared to modern terror methods that usually involve a cellphone trigger and real explosives.

Pull the other one, it’s got fucking bells on it! I spent 13 years in the military, I know what happens to people who are in houses hit by 1000lb bombs. Basically, they don’t need stretchers. They need a bucket, and a spade to scoop them up. They certainly don’t mutter bullshit anti-Western slogans and then dramatically die whilst praising Allah!!! Zarqawi. Load of old tosh!!

  • Lazzz

    And the only way butane/propane will explode in a manner worthy of the name is if there is a HOT fire which will QUICKLY heat the gas up to the point where the pressure builds quickly inside the canisters. Otherwise it will reach a point where the pressure will overcome the canister’s power to contain it, and basically just leak out. So the only way those gas canisters were going to explode was if there was a large hot fire inside the cars – and even then, with the size of those cans, they wouldn’t have done much more than blow out the windows.

    Really? It didn’t seem to apply at all to the drunken couple I met on an Italian train. As if they wern’t wasted enough already on our good wine (which they can’t seem to handle, by the way), they got off at one of the train stops to buy even more. Then they littered the entire carriage with their bottles and plastic cups. When they staggered off, the wife waved goodbye and told all the passengers that they were welcome to sleep with her husband. The Italians looked at them with pity and the train crew began shaking their heads in disgust. At that point I made sure I informed the crew that, yes, I DO speak English, but I’m American!

    gee Larry

    on olbermann you said the cars could have had a blast range of maybe 30 feet, that’s probably before you were informed that “patio gas” means propane in England, now you are saying that propane tanks don’t explode unless they are engulfed in fire…so the actual gas (petrol) in the cars if lit on fire could have gotten the tanks hot enough to explode right/

    Discovery Channel is going to do a simulation of these car bombs like they did for the Murray Building, you are invited to stand 31 feet away.

    The “patio gas” bomb defused in Haymarket would have generated a fireball the size of a house and a shock wave spreading out over a diameter of at least 400 yards, explosives experts said today. The propane cylinders and petrol used in the device would have triggered a huge conflagration, as well as causing shrapnel and blast injuries from the exploding car chassis and the nails packed around the bomb, according to Hans Michels, Professor of Safety Engineering at Imperial College, London.

    To me this story is impossible to believe, i read in the newspaper yesterday that the “bomb disposal expert” disabled the detonator by hand with 2 minutes before the imminent explosion, well if the detonator was a mobile phone it would be detonated by a phone call to the phone triggering the detonator, there would be no timer. also there was eye-witness reports of a black man exiting the vehicle, so how did manage to convince authorites that this was an iraqi attack? also it would be obvious to see a burning fireball “what is needed to explode the gas cylinders” and have enough time to evacuate. if it was a real car bomb the people would use a immediete explosion. also its pretty amazing how the police found all the car bombs in time. and i dont think there will be any CCTV footage released of these “car bombs” too. as with July 7 2006, was there any CCTV footage released about the explosions?, there was none, even though London has cameras covering every corner, every shop, even some houses now. same with the Pentagon 2001, no CCTV footage, a bit of a link there, or just a technical error? people believe anything these days, when the real terrorists are the people controlling the countries we live in, its just demonisation of arabic people and trying to acquire more power. it should be stopped.

  • michael mazur

    The reason the London police so casually disarmed the detonators on the petrol and propane `bombs` at no risk to themselves was because they all knew that it was a security agency stunt. The security agency itself knows that the police know this, hence they dare not rig something up that will immolate a policeman in a ball of flame.
    Hence no need for a video camera equipped bomb disposal robot gingerly inching its way forward.
    Second point about this stunt is that i have not read of a car bomb in the last four years in Iraq also being surrounded with nails to enhance the kill rate. The high velocity shards from the disintegrating car metal is plenty lethality in itself; and the current situation of nails surrounding the petrol and propane containers is ludicrous because the car itself would first have to be disintegrated before the nails could clear the car !
    Third point is that the petrol and propane need to be converted into combustion gases in a millisecond for there to be a car disintegrating detonation. This cannot happen unless the petrol and propane already have oxygen incorporated into their chemical structure to be available at the instant of detonation.
    Petrol and propane do not have O2, only C and H in different configurations which is why it is legal for you and i to buy these items any time we want.
    However, were these items to have in their chemical structure the sufficient quantity of O2 to achieve on detonation instanteous transformation into hot combustion gases then only security agencies and the military would be able to obtain them.
    In other words, petrol and propane are merely highly inflammable, and yes i know there are such things as fuel-air-bombs made for military applications but are well outside the realm of practicality here.

    This article is a crock of crap. Terrorism is more about fear than it is about death.
    A few points the author left out of his article.
    1) In the UK we have a new Prime Minister 2 days in Office.
    2) In Scotland the new parliament was opened by the Queen on Friday.
    3) We now have a fail terrorist attack on Glasgow airport.

    The name of the game is fear. Get the new people in charge.(Scotland and UK) to do as the terrorists demand. I’ll admit neither were very hi-tec attacks. But the object was to spread fear and not deaths.

    Pounce; why? Why is the idea to spread fear and not death? Especially when our government then fills us with the line “they hate us because of our freedoms”? If the idea was just to spread fear, then why actually even TRY to pull off attacks? Why not just letters to the media promising attacks which then never actually happen?

    Silly little children?! Silly little children believe anything and everything they are told without examining all the angles (ALL the angles, including the notion of Cui Bono) critically and open-mindedly. It is not silly and childish to say “now hold on here, let’s examine this in a bit more depth!” It IS silly and childish to say “Oh my God, they attacked us, quick, protect us, do whatever you need to make us safe!!!”

    And since when, exactly, was terrorism more about fear than death? Terrorism = terror. Death, fear, destruction. Any or all of the above. Terrorism is a tactic usually employed by those with recourse to no other, and with a definite purpose in mind. What, pray tell, is the ultimate aim of THIS particular terror? To encourage the US and UK to bomb even MORE Muslim countries in the name of so-called democracy? Oh no! It has no aim, does it? They’re just mindless animals who kill for no reason!

    Because death is final, but fear is perpetual . As for saying they hate us for our freedoms. The people who carry out these attacks do so because that is what their holy book tells them to do. In the Non Muslim world we are free to pick our religion. To pick our sexuality, women are free to be the equal of their opposite gender and we are free of the strait jacket of religious oppression. Tell me how many Muslims girls in the west are free to marry who they wish without the fear of getting murdered for Honour. Oh men can marry who they wish. But women can’t and as many murders in Europe show. The freedoms we take for granted do not transpose across to the Female Islamic diaspora living in our midst here in the west.

    My use of the quote ‘silly little children’ refers to the many conspiracy theory angles promoted by people who instead of admitting that an terrorist attack has taken place.
    After 9/11 it was the Government did it
    After the bombings of London in July 2005, it was the Government did it.

    And before anybody points out Iraq and Afghanistan. Let me point out that that 9/11, the bombing of the American embassies in Africa, the Bombing of the Cole, The destruction of the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, The bombs on the French underground, and the terrorist training of thousands of western based Muslims in camps based in Afghanistan all transpired before 2001.

    In Scotland this week the Queen opened the new parliament.
    I think you may find that both terrorist incidents were aimed at coercing the new people in power to do as the terrorists wish.

    Pounce, if you want to talk evidence, let’s talk about the evidence ignored by defenders of the official accounts which points to the fact that nearly ALL terrorist attacks, including Lockerbie, have been carried out by security forces. You want to talk actual evidence or just assertions? Then try examining the evidence that even Lockerbie, far from being committed by a Libyan terrorist, involved evidence planted by the CIA. Testament to this is recent attempts by the British and American governments to turn their original stories around to try to blame Lockerbie on Iran and/or Syria in order to obfuscate the truth.

    People don’t just say “9/11 was an inside job” because they hate the US Government. They say that because there is an incredible weight of evidence, ignored by the government and the official account, which suggests the only possible conclusion that fits ALL the known evidence, INCLUDING the evidence of deliberate cover-up, is that the attack was an inside job. Try reading some books; I’d suggest The War on Freedom by Nafeez Ahmed, The New Pearl Harbour by David Ray Griffin, Synthetic Terror by Webster Tarpley, and The 9/11 Commission Report; Omission & Distortions by David Ray Griffin. These books are all exhaustively cross-referenced, scholarly works, protected of course by libel laws and checked for legality before they are even printed.

    Of course, if you are one of the many brainwashed into believing that terrorism is real, and that Muslims really DO hate us for our freedoms, there is no point in trying to convince you. Suffice to say, your reasoning is off the mark. Whilst death IS final, killing a few people does not mean that there will therefore be no fear left over for the rest of the population! In fact, the more people you can kill, the more fear it will generate for those who remain.

    And your use of the Spanish train bombings is disingenuous; for the Spanish government tried to pin these down to Al Qaeda. It was the deliberate lies of the incumbent government which convinced the Spanish people to change governments a few days later; the new government did exactly what it had promised to do, which was why it was elected. Remember, like Britian, Spain was warned that involvement in Iraq would increase the chances of terrorism.

    Strategy of tension:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_of_tension

    Of course, this strategy is not confined only to Italy, as Wikipedia would have us believe. But it gives you an idea of the tactics used, and why.

  • Lazzz
  • Lazzz

    And if, as you say, the purpose of these attacks was the coerce the new PM to do as the terrorists wish, they achieved that so easily it begs the question, why haven’t ALL terrorists who wanted to influence a government carried out similar attacks? We are told by our government “we won’t allow them to affect our way of life”, and when some rather pathetic car “bombs” which don’t even explode, which cause zero casualties, manage to do the exact opposite of this, well…! Why didn’t Fathers For Justice try similar tactics?!?!

    Of course, it’s purely coincidental of course that Gordon Brown was just introducing new “anti-terror” legislation, wasn’t it?! Because of course a nice little attack of some kind wouldn’t have provided a very handy little emphasis to the unthinking sheeple, now would it?! One in London, one in Glasgow, to give the impression that it’s a big, well-co-ordinated attack, which definitely needs new legislation! Please!

    Sir, if you have to play the ‘evidence ignored’ card it tells me you have lost the plot.

    As for this comment of yours;
    “Of course, if you are one of the many brainwashed into believing that terrorism is real, and that Muslims really DO hate us for our freedoms, there is no point in trying to convince you.”

    Lazzz I am an apostate from Islam. I was born into a Muslim family. Yet I wanted nothing to do with Islam from a very early age.
    Tell me what does the Koran tell the faithful to do to people who leave ‘Islam’?
    Why do murderers in the Middle East tag people they kill as ‘Apostates’
    If you wish to refer to somebody as brainwashed who has death sentence imposed on him simply because he/she no longer wishes to abide by the dogma of a faith which holds no truck for them. Then pray tell me what do you exactly mean by the verb ‘Brainwashed’?

  • Lazzz

    Pounce, I don’t wish to get into a discussion about Islam. That has nothing to do with the issue at hand. And by “brainwashed” I mean, quite simply, conditioned by the media into believing that all terrorism today is carried out by Muslims who “hate the West for its freedoms.” Your insistence right now that an examination of Islam be the central point shows how brainwashed you are. I don’t care what your religion is, and I don’t particularly care about your background. The very fact that you exhibit the same traits as the vast majority of British and American sheeple, in accepting without question that Muslims are to blame, shows the depth of your brainwashing. And the fact that you seemingly hate Islam has nothing to do with that, I suppose…!!!

    But leaving Islam to one side, I urge you to discuss evidence rather than emotion. Let’s pick, for instance, 9/11, and pull apart the supposed evidence that 19 Arab hijackers were to blame, and examine the way the REAL evidence has been ignored. Including, of course, the way the official accounts ignore some basic scientific laws – namely the Law of Conservation Of Energy, and Conservation of Momentum.

  • http://eye-on-the-world.blogspot.com/ pounce

    Lazzz my original post was about how silly little children are more than happy to play the conspiracy in order to blank out the facts that lay before them.

    This entails inventing stories based on half truths in which to substantiate their stance at the expense of the truth. At a stroke you dismiss my apostate status as nothing to do with the thread and do so by trying to link in some emotional response as a means to discredit me and my posts. What you leave out from that thinly veiled charter assassination of myself is that you quite categorically stated that the governments in the west stated that a lot of “They hate our fredooms” is bunk and just a means in which to garner more powers for our elected overlords.
    I pointed out that under Islam, freedom of expression is denied. Be that religious, media or gender based. Instead you say my stance is emotional rather than fact based.

    Sir, what you leave out of that diatribe for an apology for those who resort to the bullet and the bomb rather than the ballot box is my stance is based on facts, the ideas you promote as the truth are actually based on emotion.
    Please feel free to respond.

  • Lazzz

    Then let’s examine the facts, that’s all I’m saying. For instance, on 9/11, 2 of the basic laws of physics were ignored. The Law of Conservation of Momentum and the Law of Conservation of Energy were both ignored by the official report. Look at the way the top of the South Tower started to fall. The Law of Conservation of Momentum suggests that it should continue to fall in the same direction until it came up against something which would retard it’s momentum. In this case the only thing present that could do that was the ground. Effectively, what should have happened, is, the top 30 – 40 stories of the South Tower should have fallen off and hit the ground. But they didn’t. They were pulverised into dust before they even got below the level of the undamaged remaining portion of the South Tower. How is that possible unless there were explosives present? And how is it possible that the official report could ignore that fact? How about the molten steel present in the basement of the WTC? How is it possible to produce molten steel from aviation fuel? Answer; it isn’t. Aviation fuel burns under ideal conditions (ie, inside an engine) at around 1700oF – and steel begins to melt at around 3000oF. So, what produced the molten steel? Could it have been those same explosives that were used to pulverise hundreds of thousands of tons of concrete into dust a few microns in size? Of course, defenders of the official conspiracy theory don’t like to discuss THOSE “childish” facts – because they don’t have any answers. What about the eye-witness testimony of explosions BEFORE the North Tower was hit by a plane? The seismic evidence that backs up those testimonies? The testimony of first-responders (including firemen and policmen) who testified to explosions going off before the buildings collapsed? Let’s discuss those facts, and leave religion out of it altogether.

    Sir,
    If you wish to discuss explosives then you have picked the wrong person to do so.
    I trained as a Combat Engineer in the British Army (Royal Engineers) and I can assure you I have forgotten more about explosives, det cord, detonators and blowing things up than most people will ever learn.
    Now while a lot of print has been concocted on how explosives and not aviation fuel (and the aircraft that brought it in) took down the WTC.
    Could you be so kind as to explaining how the so called government agents who carried out this deed managed to hide all that PE, all that det cord and all those cutting charges from the people who worked in those buildings. As much as Hollywood likes to portray tiny little grenades as having the explosive magnitude of a 2000 lb bomb. The truth of the matter is you need to apply a lot of cutting charges (which are padded out in which to direct the force in the right direction) in the right places with connecting det cord. (in the trade a ring main)
    What I am saying that in order for the buildings to be set up for destruction a lot of visual physical evidence would be in place. Evidence which didn’t arise any suspicion from the people who worked on those floors where those so called explosives were set up.
    (All that building work going on which includes for some strange reason people cutting holes in the wall exposing the main support beams in the buildings and attaching cutting charges with cables attached and nobody mentioned it?)
    Tell me how did they cover up that little snippet. When did they transport all those explosives into the building. Who went round connecting all those detonators to the explosives charges and how, pray tell me how that ring main didn’t collapse when a fuel laden jet aircraft crashed into not one but two buildings.
    Now while rumours came out saying no jews turned up for work that day. Can you please explain why not one account of explosives been laid and set up for detonation can be found in any eye witness testimony? (It takes somewhat more than one night in which to set up a building for demolition) The fact that nobody who worked in those buildings mentioned anything of renovation, closed off floors or sinister movement of people and equipment prior to the events of 9/11 disables the quack theory that the US government did it.
    Lastly if PE was used in which to destroy those buildings please explain one thing.
    How come the blasts wasn’t witnessed on the thousands of TV screens around the world that day. Because the last I looked the detonation of such a large amount of PE would have been witnessed by a simple thing such as all the windows in the immediate area getting blown out or did the US government replace the windows before hand with ones which wouldn’t blow out.
    Wrong person to talk about explosives mate.

  • DarkKnight

    In response to Pounce – since you are an expert in explosives surely you would be someone that would be more convinced of the conspiracy of 9/11, seeing as that was the case of the twin towers and WTC 7. did you know that these buildings were the FIRST EVER steel framed buildings to collapse due to fire? a skyscraper in spain was an inferno for 24 hours and did not collapse http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/spain_fire_9-11.html ,

    you may say that this was because an aircraft did not impact this tower, well the impacts at WTC would not have been able to destroy the hugely strong core as a plane is made of a less dense metal, the plane would rip to shreds even at a high speed http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/9-11%20Picture6.jpg

    you ask how did they mangage to construct the demolition equipment without being caught, well there was a 48 hour “power down” the weekend before september 11 with eye-witness reports of “suspisious looking men”, the first in many decades, a coincidence? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TOJtLKDBC8

    you then ask how these blast were not caught to the attention of viewers eyes, you have obviously not researched the evidence and i ask you to do so in more detail
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=Pd8B-8Au-Wk

    i have watched much better detailed videos of all this evidence but this is just a very quick search to show you the evidence, how can you explain what you are saying after watching this?

    But the most convincing evidence of 9/11 was WTC 7, you should research that too. it is a perfect controlled demolition, “pulled” as you might say.this building was not impacted by an aircraft yet collapsed (at freefall speed as with the twin towers) in just seconds falling into its footprints. http://youtube.com/watch?v=5qWFVzBdM5s
    notice how this building collapses first in a middle column of the building, textbook demolition to control the destruction radius. if you think this is false, it was confirmed by the owner of the building that the building was “pulled”, but this demolition as you said in your statement “would take days”, so it was prepared in advance.

    if you have any further questions, they can be answered.

It wouldn’t even surprise me in this stupid police informer tricks olympics if they got a neo-Nazi like Timothy McVeigh to do something that could easily be blamed on Arabs within days. Naturally, they’ll try to get as close as possible to Hillary Clinton. Those who follow this stuff will instantly be reminded of Bush’s motorcade in Hawaii and Tony Blair’s plane in Miami. There’s something evil happening behind the scenes and we are just innocent babes in the woods.

  • pounce

    What is the point of arguing with people who after 6 years still think that the US government murdered 3000 odd people in which to attack Afghanistan by blowing up the WTC.
    (Point to note. The much heralded WTC 7, was struck by debris from the collapsing towers, in that respect it was successfully evacuated. Pictures and information can be found on line which not only show very significant damage to the building ,(how about 10 floors worth of corner building missing) but also that the building had been on fire for hours after getting hit by debris from the WTC. WTC7 collapsed at 17.20 pm on the 11/09/01 seeing as how this was around 7 hours after the other two had collapsed can somebody explain how the X-fools out there don’t mention this fact. That at 1400hrs a huge bulge was noticed in the side of the building and that all fire –fighters were pulled from the building and the immediate area. The building didn’t just collapse , it took hours to do so. Trying to play the conspiracy when the facts are there just shows how petty your argument is.)

    To you people who presume to think that this is all an attempt in which to control the world. (You really should read Robert Ludlum’s ‘The Matarese Circle’) you kind of omit one salient fact. Islamic terrorists are real. They have an agenda which in a nutshell means oppression for all non-Muslims. If you cannot accept that simple fact then I suggest you move to a country which supports your ideals. Iran, Pakistan, Cuba, Syria etc… When you are there as an experiment try burning the local flag. Something tells me you won’t move in the first place.

    Pounce, did you even read my message? the owner of WTC 7 freaking admited “pulling” the building, so there is no reason that it collapsed from damage. also there was hardly any damage to WTC 7 if you observe the pictures, its just a few small fires. if you do have evidence of the great damage you said, then please show me.

    also in all three towers, all of the core columns within the buildings collapsed at exactly the same time, how could that possibly be if its due to small iscolated fires?
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5370850808525003436

    this firefighter tells exactly the damage inside the tower at the floor of impact, “small iscolated fires” which could be taken with two lines. hardly the great inferno you mention about. also notice the colour of the smoke coming from the WTC, it was very black (meaning it was just burning carpet, paper etc)

    i dont know what you are talking about with this “buldge” as with all of your comments have absolutly no evidence to support yourself. its just words.

    and ok mr engineer man, check out this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=ExrVgioIXvk
    do you know about thermite (thermate when additives like suplhur are added to increase effect) this combination can cut through thick steel in seconds
    http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/thermite.htm
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=rdCsbZf1_Ng the second video shows how quick the thermite cuts through steel

    also read about what WTC 7 contained. it held very important offices. yet it was hundreds of yards from the towers that were hit. then i ask you why was WTC 7 demolished whereas four other WTC buildings directly underneath the twin towers were not demolished? they had recieved damage of much greater magnitude than the pocket fires of WTC 7. yet even though these buiildings felt the full force of the entire two towers falling on top of them, their structure remained. they was then “pulled” after the collapse. i can get you the video of this too if you want?

    i did once believe that terrorists performed the actions of september 11 2001. but after seeing the huge amounts of evidence i found out that we are being lied to greatly. as with other moments in time. its time people like you opened your mind

    Pounce, your entire message was irrevelent to 9/11 and what the US government did there. sure that was real terrorists in those other incidents but that was just a small number of people killed compared to around 3000 of america’s own people. now american soldiers along with british soldiers are killing innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan due to this huge lie of 9/11. even yesterday they killed almost 200 civilians in one day. you think thats a good thing? islam does not teach its followers to kill people, no religion allows that. i do disagree with the July 7 london bombings though. what evidence was shown about this incident? a few images of a group of asian men with backpacks? oh yes they must have been the bombers then. tell me, was there and CCTV footage of these people actually blowing themselves up? no. also there was stories of the CCTV cameras malfunctioning, bit of a coincidence.

    by the way, i did not get any information from Wikipedia or that crap, its from my knowledge and i did not post any evidence from that website. and anyway at least i actually show evidence with my comments, you dont do that.

    tell me why you dont believe the conspiracy theories, is it because you dont want to hear the truth? ask the people of Iraq if they think there country has been helped by the US. ask the oil suppliers of america if they have been helped by the US, ask the islamic people of this world if they have been helped by the US.

    you say you are from an islamic family, yet you are supporting the people that are demonizing islamic people. why would you do that to your family? do you have loyalties? the war againgst the countries of Iraq and Afghanistan are very unjust and you should know it instead of believing some crap on the news about a person that did something bad, oh he must be an Iraqi.

    i can see that you have lived in many countries but i suggest you try to live in an islamic country, and you will learn that actual muslim people are extremely nice and friendly people. its the west that generates hate into a few of the followers of islam. there is reasons for everything. what you see on your little television is proberly only 5% true. in reality it is far from that.

    1) What part of me being an apostate didn’t you understand? The fact remains according to the Holy Koran (Written by Mohhamed himself so they say) I have to die. So tell me Dark Knight, what loyalty should I have to a bunch of people who on a daily basis despatch people to the sounds of “Allah Ackba” on the basis of them being ‘Apostates’.
    2) Supporting people who are demonizing Islamic people. The last I looked I am free to walk the streets of England/America free from religious persecution. Can you say the same for Jews in any Muslim land. No. Can you say the same for Christians in Pakistan, no, Can you say the same for Christian school girls in Thailand. No. If you should look around the west the only people demonizing Muslims are Muslims themselves. If anything the people in the west go out of their way in which to defend the rights of Muslims in their countries. (which may explain why so many Muslims immigrate to the west)
    3) As for loyalties, My loyalty lies to the country of my Birth. The United Kingdom. Oh its not the most perfect country in the world. But it’s a damn sight better than any Muslim country. My wife can walk down the street on her own, she can work, she doesn’t have to walk behind me, she doesn’t have to worry about covering her face, hair or body so as not to warrant the attention of the religious police.

    im saying that there is no visual evidence that proves that what said happened. the government could have planted the bomb there under a seat, took photographs of a group of random asian men, forged a few dna tests and then killed off the men after, you see that could have happened, we are just made to believe a certain story. and no i dont watch too many movies like you do. there is not a lot that you could conspire about with the july 7 bombings though as the whole thing was not as huge and visable as 9/11. so therefore you can see more of the truth with 9/11. also you can get somebody to get them to do something horrible by doing something like threaten their familys lives, that would make somebody do anything to stop.

    hijab bans are increasinly more common in the western world. the hijab ban in Turkey is only in schools and some workplaces. the women of Turkey are still able to wear a hijab anywhere other than that. also the US war in Iraq in conjunction with the kurdish rebels is fueling the war on terrorism in Turkey with the PKK Kurdish rebels causing carnage with bombs with around 40,000 deaths in almost 25 years. is that help to Turkey? the war on terrorism in that region is sparking mass retaliation along the Iraq border. the US should not be helping terrorists.

    Again you play the character assassination game so favoured by Muslims living in the western world. Let me spell it out to you in clear and concise terms my relationship with my Muslim family..

    I don’t have anything to do with them as I am an Apostate from Islam.
    That for the ill-informed out there means they are obliged by the holy Koran to kill me. Instead of addressing the subject at hand you instead divert the subject by trying to say I am not loyal. Tell me would you be faithful to people whose loyalty to a book written 1500 years tell them to kill family who leave the teachings of the Koran behind.
    As for my loyalty to my wife. In this country I can only have one wife. (Which believe me is a full time job) I am therefore loyal to my wife . Tell me how many wives can one have in a Muslim country. Can one be loyal to every one of them? Bollocks.

    Oh please. When Pakistan was formed approx 60 years ago it had a large non Islamic population. By fear, persecution and oppression that 47% of the Pakistani population has now shrunk to 2%. That 2% is the most persecuted minority in the world today. And which helps explain why the bishop of Faisalabad (Dr John Joseph) committed suicide in 1998 in protest at the persecution that Christians face in pakistan.

    Nice bit of charity that. The fact remains Islamic intolerance towards other faiths is deep rooted from a young age at the mosque. Be it England, America, Germany or Pakistan. The faithful are taught that the unbelievers are scum and that they are superior to them in every aspect. Now tell me how many schools in the west would get away with teaching its children that all Muslims are evil? None as it wouldn’t be allowed. But Muslims teach those valves on a daily basis.

    You have a very different perspective, and it’s interesting. Hope you will continue to comment on other threads too.

    Regarding 9/11 and the WTC conspiracy theories: I don’t understand it either!

    Wasn’t it bad enough that two jets crashed into the buildings and the ensuing fires consumed them, bringing them down. I live in NYC and saw it happen. I can assure you that thousands of people worked in the WTC and the surrounding buildings, shopped there, rode the subway through there…and someone would’ve noticed if the US government planted bombs. Certainly Mayor Giuliani and the medical team, police and fire department personnel would’ve noticed, because the city had its emergency control center down there. NYC was damned lucky the twin towers fell the way they did, instead of falling over. If they’d fallen over the damage and the number of dead would’ve been huge.

    Why do people need to make up these stories, when the truth is bad enough?

  • DarkKnight

    Hi Leslie

    yes it was so terrible watching what happened on that day on 9/11, and i pray for the families of the victims of the tradegy. it was something out of this world.

    the stories are not made up though, they are carefully studied through every piece of evidence and then made avaliable for the people to see for themselves. it would have been a huge task to set up you are right, as you may see in my earlier post that there was a “power down” the weekend before the attack announced by workers in the towers, this would explain the set up. the collapse of the twin and WTC 7 towers was due to a collapse of every column in the core and outer frame collapsing at exactly the same time with horizontal ejections below the line of impact falling at freefall speed as Lazzz commented before defied the laws of physics

  • Leslie

    With all due respect DarkKnight,
    I’ve heard these conspiracy theories many times…on C-Span even.

    For your theory to be true, the city of New York would’ve had to be on it. There’s no way New Yorkers would blow up fellow New Yorkers, and no one would say anything about it.

    The only conspiracy on 9/11 was watching Bush read my pet goat, then listening to Condi explain how the August PDB titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US” was just a historical document. That’s the conspiracy. The Bushies had many warnings of an imminent attack and they ignored them.

His subsequent release caused an uproar in the country which resulted in protests and even the kidnapping of an Italian journalist (which resulted in his interpreter getting killed) on the condition that he would be released if and when the convert was brought back to the country to pay for his crime.

    But hang on. Let’s look closer to home. Honour crimes in Italy, France, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Great Britain are committed by the faithful as they deem the adoption of western mores by women born into a Muslim family as apostasy and thus a blight on their honour. Here is the horrific story of how a German girl who left her Islamic family behind was murdered for living like a whore.

    Muslim people are just like everybody else. Trying to live their lives as best they can. However what isn’t been discussed is how decent living people become incandescent with rage when the holy Koran is brought into the picture. It is this subservience to a tome written 1500 years ago that is the issue here. People can say they are as nice as pie. But go against the teaching of the holy Koran and there is hell to pay.
    Cartoons in Denmark resulted in over 100 people getting killed worldwide
    Salman Rushdie writes a book, (and if you read it, it is actually supportive of the 2 main Muslim characters) and people not only protest around the world but people got murdered.

    I’m not saying Islamic people are anymore evil than non-Islamic people. But you’ll have to admit common sense goes out of the window when any offence is perceived towards the faith, the Koran, Mohammed or to their honour.
    The way you tried to character assassinate me by saying how can I be loyal to my wife when I am not loyal to my (well left behind) Islamic family merely highlights how Islamic people can find the slightest form of offence in the most innocence of incidents.
    I live in a democratic country, which judges me on my merits rather than on religious or family loyalties.

Nobody ever talks about Namking. I’m not saying two wrongs make a right. But for some strange reason nobody from the left of the spectrum ever mentions how 300000 civilians were murdered in peacetime (1937) by the Japanese imperial army. Yet they always play the victim card for an act which killed a lot less (granted in 2 swift strikes) for the same nation which picked a fight with a nation that fought back.

    Last I looked we were talking about Cambodia not Vietnam. Or are you now suggesting that when Vietnam invaded in 1978 that they ran a house to house survey because if you legitimise that survey why do you discredit the America one done in Iraq as you wrote as cut and pasted below. Because the last I looked they invaded to replace the ruler of a country who was oppressing his own.

    Tell me dark knight are you simply posting from a stance of that I am right and the rest of the world is wrong. As for my google skills some of us actually follow history to the extent of reading up on the past, in order to better understand the future. For example you who accuses me of using google to glean my information constantly report facts and figures which on closer inspection appear to be from google.
    For example google quotes the higher figure of 3 million for Cambodia. Yet the International criminal court at the Hague quotes approx 2 million. A figure which corresponds closer to the figure quoted by myself rather than the inflated figure quoted by you.
    http://www.un.org/law/icc/general/overview.htm

    hang on it gets better Yale on the subject quotes 1.7 million
    http://www.yale.edu/cgp/cgpintro.html

    The BBC quotes 1.7 million
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1810403.stm

    Even Human rights watch quotes the slightly higher of 2 million as opposed to your inflated 3.3 million
    http://hrw.org/english/docs/2002/12/27/cambod12873.htm

    The fact remains Dark Knight I get the impression that just like your ability to berate the west (while living in it) with falsehoods. You also state falsehoods in which to appear the more informed in any discussion. The problem with falsehoods is they are easily disproved.

    Dark knight you wrote this ref the figures you posted for death count
    in Iraq.
    “and look on the Iraq interviews section on the rightthis confirms my point. that last fall there was a study BY BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNALISTS into the actual number of Iraqi civilian deaths, where in last fall they calculated that number as 655,000and i mentioned that it could be much closer to the 700,000 mark now as that was almost a year ago.case closed on that story too.”

    Case closed, how convenient that you feel able to close an issue in which you get nearly everything wrong.
    1) The study was conducted by the John Hopkins School of Public Health and not British medical journalists which I should add is Amereican.
    2) The study came to its findings by extrapolation they published this report;
    http://www.thelancet.com/webfiles/images/journals/lancet/s0140673606694919.pdf

    Here please allow me to pick out a few snippets of information from the above report.
    (Page 4) they visited 1849 homes for the survey. 47 out of 50 clusters were visited with approx 40 homes to a cluster.

    (page 3) has a chart which breaks down all the deaths for that survey. The total figure they come to after visiting those 1849 households is 547. of which 300 were violent. Which means 247 were not violent. Lets look further.
    102 people died of heart attack.
    33 people died of cancer,
    28 died of chronic illness,
    23 die because of accidents,
    19 of old age
    And the rest
    Should these people be listed in the equation of deaths caused by the invasion of Iraq. I’ll admit maybe some, but not all. But here is the killer the total number of deaths recorded by that survey is 547.
    By extrapolation they explode that figure to 601,027.
    Sorry but extrapolation isn’t hard evidence. I’ll admit the death toll in Iraq is high. (Even 1 death is too many for me) But pulling figures out of the sky doesn’t constitute as hard evidence. Unlike you I actually read that report and the one that followed it.
    As I said that report found evidence which supported the deaths of 547 people.
    You can shout foul play all you want. At least I read that report when it came out.
    Something it appears you and your x-files collective haven’t.

    Going back to the main theme of this story. 8 people have now been arrested for trying to kill as many people as possible in the Uk last friday and Saturday.
    7 of whom have been found to be doctors.

    why would i be talking about Vietnam? yes i was mentioning the Vietnamese household survey in Cambodia. the difference in this evidence is simple, america invades and conducts a survey based on the only the media covered deaths, that would be like the Khmer Rouge conducting a survey for themselves. the Vietnamese survey also is not an extremely lower figure as with the americans and its believeable.

    and you quote bbc and some other websites, was it the bbc that conducted a household survey? no.

    the extremely high death rate in Iraq is not just based on the US killings of civilians. its also based on the fact that the US dismantled the Iraqi government and introduced governtments of different religions causing create upset and tension between the religions causing them to fight each other in a small civil war created by the US governments stupidity.

    ok so why would many doctors who have studied for a very long time, suddenly make 4 failed car bombs? you would think they are knowledgable enough to make one that would cause casulties wouldnt you?
    and the devices found inside the car show no link to Iraq car bombs as you have been told by UK news. Iraqi car bombs use immidiate detonating explosives not the type seen now. what was found this week? some small gas canisters and some gasoline and a few nails. the gasoline needs a very high temperature for the pressure inside to cause the casing of the canister to split, but the most damage would be the noise of this, the most damage would only be blown out windows and damage to the interior of the car, it would not create much shrapnel too.

    the fire needed to cause this explosion would take a long time to heat up the gas canisters so this would be very obvious to any pedestrian and give anybody enough time to evacuate the area.

    also there was a car bomb in an underground car park, hardll the best choice to kill a lot of people is it. why would they choose that location instead of a busy street?

    the detonator used was a celluar phone, but it has no timer for the detonation, yet a “bomb disposal expert” disabled the device by hand, when there is no timer. why didnt the crew use a remote robot to disable the device? they was not told it was a dub before-hand, or was they?

    its just a silly plan to blow this whole demonisation out of proportion. its obviosly not Al Qaeda as reporters mentioned as Al Qaeda would not use that sort of device as seen in the past. also the eye-witness of the London failed car bomb reported a black man exiting the vehicle and leaving the engine running, how did this evidence change to become an islamic judgement?

  • DarkKnight

    as i have said before, if somebody puts a gun to your familys heads and tells you to do something, you would do it without question, this may have been the case for the suspects? dirty tactics get dirty work done

    the american government surely was involved in 9/11. why not be involved in London too?

    This time of year is the start of the holiday season in the UK. Don’t you think that fear is the main direction here. Attack London, (Tourists) Attack transport hubs (tourists) since Saturday we have had in the Uk terrorist alerts at Blackpool airport, Liverpool airport, Standstead airport. One at Heathrow airport and one at Hammersmith tube station In every case the Airport was closed down causing mass disruption isn’t fear a better weapon than death? But then isn’t that what I wrote in my very first post.

    Are you for real. Pick up a paper and do somebody reading. That car was found parked illegally it was transported to Park lane car park after getting a ticket. Yes the traffic cops picked it up. Funny enough the car was placed in an area where the emergency services would have parked if the first bomb had detonated. Makes you wonder?

    Bomb disposal expert? It was a bobby who was called to the scene of a car with smoke coming out of it by an ambulance crew who were called to the Tiger,tiger night club on another call. The first policeman on the scene opened the door and removed the (I presume) very visible dog and bone. (phone)

    What you leave out of your post is that the police investigation which transpired after the events in London on Friday directly lead to the doctors in Glasgow.

    It also lead to the arrests of people in Cheshire and Blackburn

    so you are saying 7 doctors (a coincende of so many) waited for 6 years after the retaliation of the beflief of islamic action in 9/11 to suddenly at the same time do a pathetic car fire? thats too silly too believe dont you think. they would be clever enough to think of someting better than that. why would they get themselfs arrested so easily, they knew they would be due to the fact that they had no immediete explosive devices. this has no link to Iraq so on the basis of that, the story seems very strange.

    its the medias fault that so much fear has created. showing the same story 24 hours a day every day. immidietly accusing islamic people, it was just a damn car fire, car fires happen every day in London dont you know. not a major event such as a real car bomb or the shooting of hundreds of innocent Afghan civilians on that same day. why is this more important? Al Qaeda is supposably as you say, a suicide bomb network. whereas these people jumped out thier car. there is no link between the two. so many islamic people are targeted by police even though they are innocent due to the demonisation. what is next? demonisation of another race?

    i did not read much about this part of the story as i do actually have a life instead of your sad escuse for one sitting at home all day watching brainwashing UK news channels suchas BBCnews24. but after reading this comment that you have shown, tell me, for when the car was being ticketed, being transported onto the transporter truck, parked into the car pound, nobody once saw the smoke, gas canisters, nails or gasoline? as was found much sooner with the first car. also the reports escalate the fear saying that this “bomb” would creat a huge explosion of hundreds of feet killing hundreds of people when reality that is far from true, if you have watched a small gas canister explode, you would know too, its a very small explosion but just creates a lot of noise.

    so we would proberly never see this CCTV footage im sure as it would reveal the eye-witnesses story to be correct. the police would proberly only release some footage of a group of islamic people with backpacks again and label them as the bombers like they have before

  • DarkKnight

    after the truth being discovered with 9/11, it should be harder for people to believe what the governments says, yet you still watch the crap on the news on your television. before you believe something on first sight, its best to study the evidence as with 9/11

  • DarkKnight

    with every country there is risks and fears. no country is safe from anything. but with the media in the UK, it has the power to greatly escalate the fear and tension between its people. there has been a huge number of “failed attacks by “terrorists”" in recent times, why so many? it could be to convince people that the government is doing a good job of keeping control. to gain peoples trust in their war efforts, and when your back is turned they cheekily have a sly grin on their faces.

  • DarkKnight

    sooner or later we will all be told the truth, but by that time it would be too late. so the time to act to find the truth is now. for the sake of all goodness of humanity in this world that is slowly dieing. the world needs these conspiracy theories to act to stop the evil powers that are attempting to dominate the entire earth. seemingly there is much greater risks to the world than terrorism so why dont they try to stop these instead such as global warming(i suspect you dont believe that too?), diseases, extintion of species and so on. so maybe its best to assume the outrageous to find out the truth and to stop the evil.

    I see that you inability to reply to my posts has resorted to bile, vitriol and thinly veiled character assassination from you. Sir I have done more things with my life than most people will achieve in 2 or even 3 lifetimes. I have climbed the highest mountains in Europe. I have sailed the seas. I have trekked the jungles of South America and I have roamed the deserts of the Middle- East. I have loved and lost and I have loved and gained. I wish no man evil yet somehow without knowing anything of my background you try to belittle me by presenting a picture of a sedentary person stuck in front of his telly all day. (Don’t tell the trouble and strife as she begrudges the £290 I just put down to renew my gym membership. (I get a discount for being a long-time member)) As for my knowledge of the news I purchase the guardian every day (and read it) as well as subscribe to the Economist. (Which I try to read) I have a huge collection of history books and books on warfare. I even spend time going to military shows and museums. (I am going to be at RAF Fairford in a few weeks.) As I said I have lived more of a life than most. What succour would I find from watching the silver screen at home when I have to play second fiddle to soaps?
    So before you throw barbs at the next person on-line just remember that person may actually have accomplished more than you. Like represented his country at Martial arts. Boxed for the army. Hell he may volunteer to help his fellow man with charity work. He may even have gained a degree at night school. In otherwords never judge a book by its cover.( Well in your case you haven’t even bothered to pick it up.)
    As always please free to respond. However note I am away for the next 5 days. (Some of us have to keep our wives in shoes) Till Sunday.

    At least, three reasons for these bombings:

    1) To tell Gordon Brown the Neo-Cons are still in power

    2) So newspapers don’t show Cheney as the #1 story

    Amen to that Peg Kirby, im sure you are right, i especially agree about the story coming at a great time to knock the main story about Cheney off of the news in the US. when this is just an extremely small event exploded out of proportion by media

  • DarkKnight

    Just a little something to those that actually believe the medias story of the recent “car bombs” in London.
    http://whatreallyhappened.com/london_exercise_video.html
    as you can see with this evidence from the 7/7 London bombings, that was an inside job as with 9/11. as confirmed by actual eye-witnesses and not the bullshit media.
    this explains about the “bombers” buying return train tickets, pay and display car tickets, the phsically impossible time locations from the CCTV cameras of the suspected terrorists, and the confirmation eye-witness reports of the bomb hole metal pointing upwards from an explosion from beneath the train showing that it was not from anybody inside the train detonating the explosion.

    it has happened before already, why cant it happen again with these pathetic failed “car bombs” that are pasted on every media channel around the world.

    everybody has a right to believe the media + governments stories of what happened, but as Pounce boy likes to say with his strange accusations, “the truth is out there”
