London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack
Culpability cover scenario echoes 9/11 wargames
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet | July 9 2005
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.
The fact that the exercise mirrored the exact locations and times of the bombings is light years beyond a coincidence. Power said the drill focused around 'simultaneous bombings'. At first the bombings were thought to have been spread over an hour, but the BBC reports just today that the bombings were in fact simultaneous.
Mr. Power (pictured above) and Visor Consultants need not have been 'in on the bombing' or anything of that nature for this to be of importance. The British government or one of their private company offshoots could have hired Visor to run the exercise for a number of purposes.
The exercise fulfils several different goals. It acts as a cover for the small compartamentalized government terrorists to carry out their operation without the larger security services becoming aware of what they're doing, and, more importantly, if they get caught during the attack or after with any incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part in the exercise.
This is precisely what happened on the morning of 9/11/2001. The CIA was conducting drills of flying hijacked planes into the WTC and Pentagon at 8:30 in the morning.
It is clear that at least five if not six training exercises were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of 9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed.
The large numbers of 'blips' on NORAD screens that displayed both real and 'drill' hijacked planes explain why confused press reports emerged hours after the attack stating that up to eight planes had been hijacked.
The Anglo-American establishment that controls the military-industrial complex of the West has been caught over a hundred times carrying out bombings and other terrorist attacks around the world to further their corporate aims and to blame their enemies.
The US government has been caught planning to carry out attacks and carrying out attacks. The British government has been caught red-handed as well. Members of Vladimir Putin's FSB were caught planting bombs in a Russian apartment building in 1999 by the Moscow police.
This is not speculation. Kermit Roosevelt admited on NPR radio that in 1953 the CIA and British intelligence carried out a wave of bombings and shootings in Iran. He then went on to brag about how they subsequently blamed the bombings on Iran's President, Mossadegh. Do you understand, these people brag about what they do 40 years later?
The London bombings have the same signature as the Madrild bombings of 3/11. Both of these bombings are almost indistinguishable from the Bolognia bombing in 1980 that killed over 80 people.
The bombing in Bolognia was part of a CIA operation code named Gladio, where the US government would pay right-wing terrorists to carry out bombings to be blamed on leftists in Europe. All of this was blown wide open when two of the Bolognia bombers were convited in an Italian court, forcing them to spill their guts admitting that they were neo-fascists contracted by the CIA. Operation Gladio documents have since been declassified.
The London terror alert level was lowered before the bombings took place. This gave the purpotrators extra cover to plan and execute the attack without having to evade the most stringent security.
In any crime you look at history and motive, The British government has been caught in multiple examples of carrying out bombings in London which were then blamed on the IRA. They even had one of their own MI5 agents wihin the Omagh bomb squad. Click here for an archive of this evidence.
The wider agenda will become clearer when Blair firmly points the finger at the selected patsies designated to take the fall. But for the moment he's happy to grandstand as the courageous leader who immedately returned to London to take control of the chaos.
BBC polls that were showing 80 per cent plus opposed the ID card will now likely flip back in the opposite direction. Support for the European Union and increased globalization through the G8 will rise. Who stands to gain from all this? Who has the motive?
From Putin blowing up his own apartment buildings to Israel being behind Hamas, the evidence is consistently clear that large scale terrorism is always state sponsored.
The Madrid train bombing is another example. The bombers were found to be police informants with close links to the Spanish security services. They had access to the most secure areas of the Madrid train system. The Spanish government initially tried to blaim the Basque group ETA for the blast in the hope that the people would rally behind the government and get them re-elected. After ETA denied involvement and the people started saying the government was involved, the Spanish government had to blame Al-Qaeda and kill some patsies by claiming they blew themselves up during a raid.
The London Underground exercises were used as the fallback cover to carry out the attack. This is the biggest smoking gun yet pointing directly to the most secretive levels of the British establishment itself being behind the attack.

Stop turning every oportunity people have to 'Evolve Ideas' through open discussion forums (like this and the various 'rival' talk radio shows you seem to love calling) into an Advertisment twice removed for your videos, website, radio shows and theories.
I appreciate the passion and detail you go into most of the time and can see that you have worked very hard to get to the truth.
But many of your rants are just designed to scare people, your own form of hegelianism I believe, and are littered with tiny innacuracies and tenuous links which discredit you and any Ideas assosciated with your own.
Personally I think you love the sound of your own voice just a little too much. How about using the money you've made from your DVD, book, T-shirt video sales and product endorsements (mmm, mmm, I love my water crisp and pure.) and spending it an a huge budget feature film of Victor Thorns On Trial book?
And here would be the clincher... don't star in it. Think about it, you could direct, produce but just dont get onscreen with that lovely husky Texan drawl of yours freeasscociating fact with fiction and presenting it as urgent truth.
Anyway I was just going to leave you to it but now I'm a little tired of your attitude. I shall be in discussion with Sacred Cow shortly about how best to silence you.
Love.

As for Alex Jones, he's made some mistakes, as we all have. Actually, this seems to be more of a Paul Joseph Watson investigative piece, though Jones and Watson have put some of their best stuff under joint authorship like Lennon and McCartney. All the essentials in this particular piece seem to be true, and well thought through.
As for understanding propaganda operations like 9/11, the best source to read is historian WEBSTER TARPLEY. He wrote the best book on 9/11 called "9/11 Synthetic Terrorism: Made in the USA."

Their homepage is an interesting read; particularly their contracting with "key Departments of the UK Government." Homepage text follows:
Risks and Threats are diversifying. Although September 2001 made the point and more recently in Europe Madrid in March 2004, it's not always true that sensational terrorist acts are the only big company risks. It could for example, be anything that threatens Reputation, Image or Brand? Our team of recognised experts can offer precise and confidential advice whatever the risk exposure. This very much includes Terrorism or other pernicious threats that might not make immediate headlines, but the consequences can still be fatal.
Visor Consultants have been able to support many domestic and global organisations to prevent chaos in a crisis and increase their overall resilience. Our clients include one of the top seven companies in the USA and key Departments of the UK Government. Making any crisis an 'abrupt audit' rather than a presumed catastrophe has helped many organisations grow as a result.
We can quantify your various risks and hazards; advise you on which pose the greatest threats; assist you to eliminate - or at least contain - them; and help develop your Crisis Management skills. We can then guide you in Risk Mitigation, in resolving any security issues, and in designing Crisis & Business Continuity Management strategies.

London Bomb - Israel, Businessmen & Iraq
09.07.2005 22:19
Israel's Benjamin Nethanyahu cancelled a scheduled meeting to Liverpool Street without notice. On the earlier ITN news, 200 businessman also did not attend on the account of a bomb warning but this information was not repeated on the 10' o clock ITN news.
On the same day (June 7) meanwhile in Iraq, the US was committing appalling atrocities and indiscriminate killings being - the bombing of the Abdul Aziz al-Samarrai Mosque complex combined with the horrific killings of over 290 Iraqi civilians, including small children.
That covers freedom of speech, safety and democracy - maybe that is the way of life most of the empire Brit types so desperately want to preserve.

AP fucked up and their earlier report suggesting he had advance warning was subsequently retracted (and obviously supsicious).
The earlier incorrect version of the story however is now becoming part of anti-semitic conspiracy lore and you shouldn't be repeating it here.

A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running a drill exercise for an unnamed company which revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as was happening in real life on July 7th, BBC Radio 5 has revealed.
In a BBC Radio 5 interview which was aired on that very evening, July 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a firm which labels itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, also known as a PR firm.
Visor's managing director told the radio show's host that at the exact same time as the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise drill in which the London Underground was 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.
According to Power the drill focused around 'simultaneous bombings'. At first the bombings were thought to have been spread over an hour, but that was later confirmed by police as being wrong and that in fact the bombings were only seconds apart, therefore simultaneous.

11.07.2005 12:32
From what I'm reading now that Visor Consultants, a PR company run by Peter Power (ex Scotland Yard and Terror Branch, also featured on early BBC reports on the day of the crisis), were running a "crisis management" type exercise on the morning of 7/7/05, involving the same scenario of multiple simultaneous bombings along the tube network (but no bus bomb apparently). Already their are stories which, by confusing and muddling the facts, fashion this probable coincidence into part of some government backed conspiracy. The PR firm had a bunch of crisis managers in a room to which they simulated the crisis scenario to. All the action took place within house, there were no personal in the actual tube system. Suddenly, by the power of the internet, the story became one of PR agents crawling through the tube system, with covert government agents using this exercise as cover to actually commit the real bombings.
I believe these stories originated from people who have an interest in peddling this sort of fabulous conspiracy in order to peddle their books, DVDs, tea towels and whatever to people. Problem is, many people will now use their story as the primary source and not check the original sources.
There are many reasons why several governments around the world would want such a bombing to occur, right now I don't think there's sufficient evidence to point the finger, at least in my opinion (and I admit I feel I'm far from having the whole picture). I just think that if revealing government involvement is important, then it needs to be presented level-headedly, without *any* assumptions or muddling of the facts that could be picked apart, if the ultimate goal is to alert the public as to what is happening.

Dear Ted Jones
You are quite an annoying entity aren't you. You feel free to criticise others for not checking further than the reposted story and yet fail to listen to the recording of the interview yourself. I have downloaded a copy of it. It took 2 minutes. Try it. You might learn something.
Finished.
Good.
That's right, you did hear correctly, Mr Powell states unequivocally that his control center was in charge of 1000 agents taking part in the pre planned drill which involved explosions in the locations where they then actually occured and at around the time they occured. This coincidence obviously seems reasonable to you?
Now I agree with you that Alex Jones and Prison Planet do have an ulterior motive in investigating these matters. I'm certain that they do make a tidy profit from DVDs and T-Shirts.
That does not alter the FACTS which they are reporting.
If you continue to post such biased opinions I will be less than happy with you.

1000 Agents
11.07.2005 15:02
err...actually, i did listen to the recording. He says that "we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London....". The company itself may have had over 1000 people employed in it, but that doesn't mean any of the people employed were anywhere near the tube system, the simulation could, as simulations often are, have been done entirely in house. There was no mention of the exercise taking place in the "real world", nor that all the people in the company took part in it. I agree that the statement does not rule it out either, but if the truth (if it is the truth) is to be accepted by more than just readers of conspiracy theory message boards, then it has, in your words, to be unequivocal.
Ted Jones
No, Father Ted, No.
11.07.2005 16:52
Much as I hate to argue semantics.
That is not what Peter Powell says in the recording. That is what the transcript of the recording reads.
In the recording he says "because at half past nine this morning, we were actually running an excercise for uh, oh, v, um, a company, with a thousand people in London, based on simaultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations it happened this morning. So I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing upright"
Almost but not quite, what is documented in the transcript. In the recording he is clearly hesitating as to how to describe his client, before settling on "a company". He is not saying that the company has over 1000 people in London, he is stating that 1000 people were involved in the excercise.
He goes on... "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"
If the excercise was entirely theoretical and did not involve anyone on the ground there would have been no need to differentiate between the drill and the real world as the in house excercise would have had no bearing on reality. Also what you are suggesting defies logic. Hiring a specialist crisis management group to perform a virtual event where all of the data is gathered as theory behind closed doors would be like having a fire drill in a school where the only people to know about it are the Head Teacher and senior staff and they gather all of the data from estimating how long it would take to get the kids out and to the assembly areas, on paper.
Now we all know that when a school has a fire drill, all of the teachers, staff and pupils are required to behave as if there were a real fire, the safety and evacuation data is collected from real events and in many cases the local fire service takes part to get data on how quickly they can respond.
Listen again, better yet give me your address and I'll loop the recording with a nice drum track, fill a CD and send it to you, just to be sure you understand what you are listening to.

Tell me please what is so unusual about an excersize that is so closely tailored to the examples set by past terrorist actions? If one can accept that the actual excersize is not out of place, occurring as it does in the UK, a key player in world politics, host to the G8, recently chosen as the host of a future Olympic competition, a crossroads of trade and travel, and home to a large and diverse immigrant population.... I mean it isn't as thought they haven't a stake in demonstrating secure posture to the world community. If one can accept all that, then is it really that much of a reach to suppose the actual occurance of the bombings and the locations of the excersize was little more than a coincidence? Even calling it a coincidence is a bit of a stretch, since rail stations and mass transit in general seems to be a favorite target of the criminals behind this outrage.

Blair rejects calls for probe into bombings!
11.07.2005 22:51
This stinks like rotten fish!
Tony Blair will on Monday reject Conservative demands for a government inquiry into last week's London bomb attacks, insisting such a move would distract from the task of catching the perpetrators.
[...]
Downing Street said the prime minister believed an inquiry now into the outrage which killed at least 49 people would be a "ludicrous diversion."
[...]
Instead, in a statement to the Commons on Monday following last week's Group of Eight summit, Mr Blair is expected to focus on the direction the government must take to ensure future terrorism is defeated.
[...]
He is expected to tell his counterparts governments must ensure operators keep data on telephone and internet exchanges for up to a year.

MY GUESS FOR WHICH COMPANY VISOR WAS WORKING WITH
12.07.2005 00:17
I agree that we will find out which company, employing more than 1000 people in London, Visor was working for.
My guess is that it was the Conran organisation, which is part owner of the Great Eastern Hotel, next to Liverpool Street Station and where the Israeli conference was booked that Netanyahu was to speak at.
As well as Peter Power's radio interview, there is also his TV interview:
:
***BEGIN***
POWER: Today we were running an exercise for a company - bear in mind
now that I'm in the private sector - and we sat everybody down in the
city - 1000 people involved in the whole organization - with the crisis
team. And the most peculiar thing was it was we based on a scenario of
simultaneous attacks on a underground and mainline station. So we had to
suddenly switch an exercise from fictional to real. And one of the first
things is, get that bureau number, when you have a list of people
missing, tell them. And it took a long time -
INTERVIEWER: Just to get this right, you were actually working today on
an exercise that envisioned virtually this scenario?
POWER: Almost precisely. I was up to 2 oclock this morning, because it's
our job, my own company. Visor Consultants, we specialize in helping
people to get their crisis management response, how you jump from slow
time thinking to quick time doing. And we chose a scenario with no
assistance, which is based on a terrorist attack because they've been
close to a property occupied by Jewish businessmen there in the city,
and there are more American banks in this city than there are in the
whole of New York - a logical thing to do.
INTERVIEWER: How extraordinary today must feel for you as it unfolds.
You mentioned a few moments ago there our experience with Irish
Republican terrorism. And of course it was very different wasn't it
because however perverted their behavior, the IRA believed itself to
have some sort of code of honour, and tended to issue some kind of
warnings, of course they often came too late to do any good.

The scale of the bombings has me puzzled too, how small it really was to what it could have been. So they have expended 'a few' for the 'good of all'....ie acquisition of global oil supplies..is that the mindset of these people?

"And we chose a scenario with no assistance..."
yet what I hear him say is:
"And we chose a scenario with THEIR assistance"
Oi!
Move me on to any black square, use me any time you want.

Short answer... yes. Sacrafice some pawns, protect the king and queen. Capture all you want. Think several moves ahead and keep multiple strategies in play.
Did you notice also that the event seemed much bigger at the outset with, reports of seven targeted areas, huge casualty figures, then as the rest of the worlds media start to lose attention it gets less and less severe. Were the reported blasts, which we now know did not occur, part of the Visor operation? We know from the Daily Express cover photo 09.07 of the Tavistock Square bus just after the explosion, that the blast was not as severe as the damage and the television distance shot images which were broadcast worldwide made it seem. ("the driver pulled over to ask directions from two parking attendants because he had been diverted from his usual route" COME ON? what do you think we are? pre-school infants? He had made one left turn and was less than 400 yards off the No 30 route, how did he get lost? Check it out for yourself, bus route maps are available at the transport for London website.) The BBC news 24 live broadcast from that morning is an education in itself, I advise anyone who is an any doubt to get a copy as quickly as possible. Explaining everything that is on it would make me sound like a complete conspiracy nut. Watch it and judge for yourself.
Netanyahu and Gulliani were both in London, both nearby to detonation locations and both only too happy to forget whatever it was they were supposed to be doing and put on a show for the media, drawing unfounded comparison after unfounded comparison and telling us that we are all in this together and that violent sneaky evil middle eastern people were OBVIOUSLY to balme... although it is too soon to say (as an afterthought). Then, because business believes in making profits above all other concerns the information line for families of the victims is a premium rate number ??? You could not make this stuff up!
Add to that the constant round of bomb scares ever since then. Every city, more or less, has had one. With heavy police presence, and military, and armed officers. They don't all get reported on the national news, this means people caught up in the security illusion assume it is a reasonable local occurence. Where are they getting all of these armed police from? Did they grow them in jars? Is this Attack of the Clones?
Of COURSE the bombs were remotely detonated and those sneaky evil terrorists could strike again anywhere, anytime. So we all have to be under constant fear stress (those of us who actually care that is). The anti terrorism police have free license to raid any house they like in relation to the investigation... as long as it's in Leeds or Bradford or somewhere we all know the terrorists are being hidden by those resentful Muslim communities. How about raiding all the Mosques? You would love that wouldn't you, whoever you are (I'm not talking to you here Kath) another kristallnacht.
Kath, I hope you and your daughter are not afraid of the big bad wolf, show them no fear and they have no power (Monsters Inc). Even once we catch them, and we will get you, (come after me and a thousand more will take my place) the bitch that bore them will be in heat again... to paraphrase Churchill.
Have a good one, tell your friends.

"but I canot reveal the name of the organisationI was with last week."
That is strange since you already said,
"And we chose a scenario with THEIR assistance"
(the scenario to be played(stations and times)).
Since real bombs were used in these exact places at the exact same time as in the exercise --just like what happened on 9/11 in the U.S.--, you have to admit that it seems impossible that it could be a coincidence that so many details are similar in both these crimes, "exercises" being held that suddenly turn "real" etc. etc.
So far, everyone I've talked to all agree on this, that someone was indeed "suckered".
And so far it seems that it was you and your company being used as cover by your "client" who arranged for bombs to be put in place at the very places where the "drills" were to take place.
Because people are now seeing that the "smoking gun" is not the exercise in itself.
No.
The biggest smoking gun is the absence of even the slightest interest from the big media to look into this extremely compromising evidence.
The second biggest smoking gun is Tony Blair rejecting calls for probe into bombings.
This really tells people that "something is rotten in the state of Denmark", or, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as is the case.
Since you must be the one person with the most insight into;
a. who were involved in the "exercise"
b. who knew the exact places and the exact time
c. who could use that information to plant the military(!) explosives
you are also the one who pose a danger to the people placing the "real" bombs should they believe that you may come forth with your knowlege.
We, the world, can only hope that your are as chivalrous as you showed, when you decided to tell your countrymen about the "exercise" in the first place.
There is nothing more honorable than speaking the truth, even if it kills you.

If you can ask your daughter to remember the time and let us know, I believe that if it can be asserted that one or more stations had been closed due to 'security reasons' *BEFORE* the bombs went off, it indicates that the people having the authority to close down stations had information about a grave threat *before* the "real" bombs exploded.
A mere "exercise" certainly does not warrant the closure of public stations during rush hour.
Questions needed to be asked:
1. When did the police *first* know about explosives in the Underground?
2. Did the police close down one or more stations?
3. If not the police, who closed down one or more stations due to 'security reasons'?
4. What exact threat was behind the decision to close down one or more stations during rush hour?
5. Who knew the exact placement of the exercise "bombs" well enough to be able to replace them with real military explosives?
The official version is coming apart more and more.

Closure of Tube Stations etc., BEFORE the explosions

A friend who lives in Tooting, London told me of radio reports that he heard around 7.15am stating that there was a train fire at Balham Station. No further mention of this has appeared to my knowledge on official news sites.
however, I came across the following info at
(Londoners comment on weirdness prior to bombings - ed)
Hi everyone,
Did anyone travelling in BEFORE the attacks began yesterday notice anything peculiar on their tube journey?
I catch the Piccadilly line at 7.15am each morning from Southgate to reach my work in Kensington by 8.00. Normally, all seats are taken by Finsbury Park and carriages are packed by Kings Cross.
However, yesterday my tube journey was eerily quiet. For the first time ever there were spare seats in my carriage all the way through zone 1. It was noticeable enough for me to wonder what on earth was going on. This was at 7.45 - over an hour before attacks began.
I've also heard people saying that the Northern Line was being shut down at the same time.
Is there something that we're not being told?
Another member responds,
yes!!
I was due to pick a work collegue up from balham at 7:15am, but when i got there i was greeted with Tube emergency vans, police and and hoards of people being turned away from a closed station.
All very strange they must have known something was going to happan, the surely had a tip off. As i drove along the road, (which also follows the tubes) they were all shut and hundreds of people were queing for buses.
when i reached Oval, which was open there were two armed policemen in a road next to the station, which for a quiet area like that is extremly rare.
the northen line was shut from morden to stockwell. They blatently knew something was going down, they just got it wrong and are hoping no one mentions anything.
I am reserving judgement on what to make of it all...............

The questions regarding who initiated those meassures and why still remain to be answered.
If anyone know of other persons noticing similar or other oddities that morning, please post as little or as much as you can below.
This is getting really interesting.
