UPDATED: London Bridge – Evolving Narrative
© Licensed to London News Pictures. Photo credit: Peter Macdiarmid/LNP
The final, official story of the London Bridge attack is beginning to take shape. More information is coming together all the time, the very efficiently edited Wikipedia page for Fishmongers Hall already has a short section dedicated to events of the two days ago.
Here is what we know so far:
The Alleged Attacker
His name was Usman Khan, he was from Stoke on Trent. That’s it as far as personal details go, nothing about his personal life or his family has yet emerged and/or been released.
UPDATE: Usman Khan now has his own wikipedia page. Very efficiently put together, but bearing absolutely no personal details except his birthday (no idea what the source is for that). We don’t know his parent’s names, where he went to school, or even what he did for a living.
We do know he pleaded guilty to “preparing acts of terrorism” in 2012, that can be confirmed with contemporary sources.
Much is being made of the “convicted terrorist walking the streets” narrative, but the truth of the case is that Khan had never actually hurt anyone. Or attempted to hurt anyone. Or acted with violent intent in any way. The BBC made it clear, at the time, that there were no weapons, or bomb parts, found at any of the men’s houses, and no evidence they had made any efforts to purchase such.
Under current UK “anti-terror” legislation “intent and determination” is enough to be convicted of “planning a terrorist attack”. Which is to say, spitballing, hypotheticals and talking shit to your friends can get you 10 years in prison.
It is interesting to note that even the BBC, at the time, considered these men more likely “fantasists” than threats. The judges sentencing is no longer available online.
We know that Khan, and his 9 co-defendants, were under surveillance by MI5 for two whole years before being arrested. We are not told how they came to be under this surveillance, except a vague term “concerns were raised in the community”.
We know the men knew each other through their involvement in the (now banned) organisation Islam4UK. It could be assumed that MI5 either monitored everyone associated with this group, or indeed helped set up the group in the first place to use it as a “honeytrap”.
Regardless of the exact details of his past conviction, we know Khan was released December last year, and was in a rehabilitation program. There are also reports he was still tagged. Both of those claims appeared in the Times.
We are still in the dark as far as motive goes, with speculation raging. The Mirror suggest he was taking “vengeance” for the alleged death of al-Baghdadi in Syria last month. But that doesn’t seem likely, given the timeline. However, it was reported that ISIS had “claimed responsibility” for the attack.
So far none of the classic “suicide tapes” have appeared.
The Attack
The attack itself, as a narrative, has coalesced in the last 24 hours. From wikipedia:
Khan had been attending the ‘Learning Together’ seminar in Fishmongers’ Hall, run by the Cambridge Institute of Criminology to help offenders reintegrate into society following their release from prison.
At 13:58 on 29 November, City of London Police were called to an incident at Fishmongers’ Hall. Khan, wearing a fake suicide vest, threatened to blow up the hall.
Holding two kitchen knives taped to his wrists, using similar tactics to the 2017 attack, he began stabbing people inside the building.
Several fought back, including a chef working at Fishmongers’ Hall who grabbed a narwhal tusk from the wall to use as a weapon, and a convicted murderer attending the conference.
Khan fled and began stabbing pedestrians outside on the north side of the bridge.
Several people were injured before members of the public and a plain-clothes British Transport Police officer, later seen walking away with a knife, restrained and disarmed Khan on the bridge. One of the people who stepped in to fight the attacker drove him back by spraying a fire extinguisher.
Armed City of London Police arrived a short time later and surrounded the attacker, who was being held down by a man. They pulled this person away to provide a clear shot, before firing twice. Khan died at the scene.
“Victims” and “Heroes”
The victims have since been named as Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones. They were apparently Cambridge graduates attending the Institute of Criminology event. There is still relatively little information about them available, although Merritt’s alleged father, David, has made a statement some would consider political in nature.
Three other alleged victims, two seriously injured and one with minor injuries, have been announced but not yet named.
A alleged classmate of Merritt’s, who now works for the New York Times, wrote a piece about him.
UPDATE: David Merritt has since had a column in the Guardian: ‘Jack would be livid his death has been used to further an agenda of hate’.
The heroes of the narrative have shifted.
The current hero list is the “Polish chef” known only as “Lukasz”, who apparently used a Narwhal tusk as an improvised weapon to fight back, and James Ford, a convicted murderer. Plus a couple of unnamed ex-convicts also attending the IoC event.
“Lukasz” has reportedly been awarded a special award by the Polish government.
But the first “hero” to appear, on Friday, was this man:
The “hero” who allegedly disarmed the “terrorist”.
He was described, early on, as a “hero” who “disarmed the attacker”. It has now been announced he was “a plain-clothes British Transport Police officer”. He has never been named.
The articles which first carried the video and the stills from the video have now blurred out his face.
This article from Buzzfeed, detailing “The People Who Bravely Stepped In To Stop The London Bridge Attacker” does not mention him at all.
UPDATE: The metropolitcan Police issued a statement on their “officer”, brought to our attention by @IAmFrankButcher on twitter:
The Metropolitan Police Service have asked that his image be pixelated, and we are kindly asking the public and media to respect this request and not identify the officer in any way.
You can read the whole statement here.
Politics
The politics isn’t going entirely as you’d expect. There has been very little talk of Corbyn being “soft on terror”, indeed most of the political fall-out has been aimed at the Tories.
They’ve been chastised for police cuts, and then for making “political capital” out of tragedy.
It’s perhaps noteworthy that this attack comes only a few weeks after the UK’s terror alert was downgraded.
There has been an unusually mixed message in the media, suggesting deeper than usual divisions somewhere in the heart of the deep state.
The latest polls put the UK in “hung parliament terroritory”, and given the coverage of both this incident and the election in general, it’s becoming ever more likely that this the desired outcome.

12th December 2019
Today, John Krilley a burglar involved in murdering a Pensioner in 2005, let out ‘on licence’ in 2018… appeared on BBC1 6 o’clock news to be drug addled …is hailed as a hero for tackling Khan and telling him to blow his vest??? But Khan said he was” waiting for the Police” Then Krilley hit Khan with a ‘lectern’ which just happened to be there at the bottom of the steps where Saskia was lying. Krilley chased Khan outside and began spraying him with a fire extinguisher ( which would have really damaged him, lol.) When he could have hit him and knocked him out with the fire extinguisher, had he wanted to hurt him… Krilley then told the Police to shoot Khan… and they did????
Ffs, they think we are all stupid!
FALSE FLAG ALL THE WAY….
I am also intrigued by the BBC’s description of him as a “reformed ex-prisoner”. Do they deem him to be “reformed” simply because of his reported ‘heroic’ actions that day? For goodness sake, like Usman Khan he was only let out on licence in 2018. If the BBC had interviewed Khan about the Fishmongers’ Hall seminar the day before he (seemingly) went on the rampage, would the BBC have been so bold or foolish as to describe him as a “reformed ex-prisoner” whatever his previous crimes? He would have qualified as such, just as Crilly did. You would think the BBC should show a bit more caution and wisdom when it comes to hyperbole.

At this point you, the public, should be hiding in terror under your stairs.
Remember to have spare batteries for your torch, lots of drinking water, and lots and lots of toilet paper.
You’ll need the toilet paper because we are ruled by complete, total and utter psychopaths.
Petra Liverani (flaxgirl) has been following such events for about 3 years, and has made some very interesting comments, and done some deep analyses, many of which I agree with. I think she is highly intelligent, and brave posting under her real name. I have been following such events, since 1999, when my country (England) was bombing Yugoslavia. The reason for this, was that it was personal to me, because in 1979, I fell in love with a girl who’s family came from Serbia. I could not understand why we were bombing some of the nicest people, I had ever met in my life. We split up, but that is not the point. The world had largely been at peace, certainly all of Europe, since the end of WWII. There is no way, the bombing of Yugoslavia was faked. On September 11th 2001, I was on a computer training course,… Read more »
Hey Tony, if you want to get an idea of just how good P.L.’s “perps” are check this out:
https://nyfd.com/9_11_wtc.html
It’s like they say in New York, ” You can’t make this sh** up … ” . Except they did! (According to P.L.).
Dave McGowan, got it first, and wrote about it the next day. I always thought he was a genius, and I read him almost the next day he wrote anything on his handcarved website. I guess he learnt a bit of HTML first – and thought well it works..
I was gutted when he died. He was not only the best analyst I have ever come across. He was also a really nice guy. I have not yet read any of his books. I read him almost live on the internet. I never met him, nor had an email conversation with him. I was just in awe reading him. He’s Dead now RIP

Tony
Tony, at 2pm (UK time) on 11th September 2001 I was cycling across Parliament Square, on my way to do an engineering survey at an office block just down the road near Victoria Station (by that time the traffic in London was so bad that I used to do the central London stuff on a bicycle). As a cyclist from hell I always listened to a Walkman. News started coming through that a plane had hit the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York, where it was just after 9am. The thinking seemed to be that an accident had occured. My survey at the office block involved a few hours work. As I wandered around with a tape measure one of the on-site engineers told me that another plane had gone into the south tower. Terrorism. By the time I was cycling back through Parliament Square both… Read more »
Great to read you here Tony, as well as at TheSlog.
I spent years putting up a display about 9/11 at Coventry’s annual Godiva Festival and visitors had so many questions, they really appreciated someone sticking their head up and talking about it. In one weekend we would reach out to 650 people – school kids, uni students and angry pensioners.
Ole Dammegard gets my Patreonage for false flag analyses. Here he publishes footage showing the recent London Bridge actor with a fake suicide vest, being shot dead, then making himself comfortable a few seconds later by grabbing a nearby jacket.. After that when he thinks the photo shoot is over, he even sits up and looks around before playing possum once more.

I think it’s a total set up, if you are a terrorist wheres your gun, these UK based terrorists keep heading to London Bridge with KNIVES!!!
what ever the UK version of MK ultra is, this is it, hypnotised Mind control. Usman gets sent down to London and a trigger word sets him off on his mission. I find it difficult to believe that these terrorists are so inefficient, knives!!! for f,s sake, that’s all these people can find is a knife!! And the reason MI5 give him a fake suicide vest is so the cops can shoot him, no future problems.
What did the Transport Police Officer pull from his pocket and throw away. See the mirror video at the last two seconds. There are / were slower motion and longer videos on the day of the incident.
Yes, I saw that too!
If you see the entire escapade in real time from start to finish – something that is not all on video but is on record written and spoken, the whole damn thing plays out like a tragic comedy. Two people died at the hands of the not then but now a terrorist , while others still lay wounded in hospital, then in turn, Police , also considered terrorists saw fit to murder the now new terrorist. In the midst of all this there was a rag tag team of citizens that used tusks, fire extinguishers, revolving locked doors and more to try to keep the knife welding man inside the building and prevent him from exiting. So what we have is not a terrorist but an idiot who ended the lives of at least two young people for no reason what so ever, and whom in turn was murdered by… Read more »
Considering all the puzzlement this attack has generated here reminded me of something that Naomi Wolf said in her book “The End Of America”. She was talking about the difference between the way lies are used in a democracy and in a fascist state. She summed up in an interview:
Perhaps the point of this attack was to spread confusion as a mind control technique?
What’s the difference in outcome of ‘lying to deceive’ and ‘lying to disorient’ ?
The paragraph sounds like it should mean something, but it doesn’t.
Lying to deceive means wanting the other person to believe the lie. It implies a simplicity, a consistency and a level of credibility.
Lying to disorient means simply wanting to confuse the other person. This implies any number of lies – all of which can contradict each other. It also implies that each lie doesn’t have to even be consistent within itself, nor even convincing.
Lying is lying. Lying is not telling the truth. In a ‘democracy’ it’s tricky to tell a political lie because the democracy has created a trail of information crumbs acknowledged as truth. That plus lots and lots of video and audio.
The lie can be dismissed as a lie because the information can be researched, evidence can be gathered.
It’s why when I was listening to ‘Lord’ Falconer defending Corbyn on Talk Radio yesterday, I know he’s a lying, warmongering shit.
There is not much difference in a fascist ‘shift’ (? whatever that is). The only difference is that the dismissal of the lie isn’t registered by the people who leave the trail of information crumbs.
People on the receiving end of a lie know what a lie looks like. It’s why we’re all in big trouble.
“In a ‘democracy’ it’s tricky to tell a political lie because the democracy has created a trail of information crumbs acknowledged as truth. That plus lots and lots of video and audio.” I had no idea that “democracy” could create anything. There are certainly “information crumbs” all over the place although it’s a moot question who acknowledges them as truth. And which ones are so acknowledged. Yes there’s also tons of video and audio too. But it all depends on how it’s used, how many see it and how many can detect discrepancies and do comparisons with other sources. “The lie can be dismissed as a lie because the information can be researched, evidence can be gathered.” Interesting use of passive voice there. Who dismisses? Who researches the info? Who gathers the evidence? Or does the lie, the info and the evidence do all these things by themselves? There is… Read more »
Yes, exactly. So what is Wolf talking about then ? My original argument was about the difference in outcome regarding lies. There isn’t any difference when truth can’t and doesn’t exist without recognised arbitration – in your post referred to as ‘credibility’. What is credibility without a checkable history ? What makes something / one credible ?
Truth to the individual is in the experience of the individual.
Note I used the word ‘acknowledged’ regarding breadcrumbs of truth.
If history is written by gatekeepers then there is no difference between democracy and ‘fascist shift’, and it was ever thus. Long live the internet.
If the word “lie” is bothering you then perhaps the word “disinfo” may help. Disinfo is strictly speaking lies – but a network of lies consisting of total lies, half lies, three quarter lies all the way through to almost truths etc. Sometimes it contains total truths “contaminated” by the source being deliberately dodgy cf. one David Shayler – an ex-intelligence (?!) man who made an excellent video on 9/11 as inside job …and then turned round and declared himself to be the son of god! Nice one. So the truth there becomes contaminated by coming from “a nut”. And there is a difference in the outcome of lies if the network of lies produces confusion and ultimately despair (the point Wolf is making). “Truth to the individual is in the experience of the individual.” Well the truth we are talking bout is strictly speaking not in the experience of… Read more »
“And there is a difference in the outcome of lies if the network of lies produces confusion and ultimately despair (the point Wolf is making).” …..only if those who claim to arbitrate truth don’t acknowledge, or are prevented from acknowledging, the truth. It’s not about the lie, it’s about the armoury that the receiver of the lie has to recognise the lie as a lie – historical knowledge or personal experience. In an age of global media, many more people are aware of how a story that personally affected them is reported. They can compare the reporting with what they experienced. The Sun doesn’t sell so well in Liverpool. Ex miners aren’t so keen on the BBC. I don’t trust Lyse Doucet. As a concrete example, two years ago the BBC reported that The Russians were preventing UN food deliveries to Syrian towns. As a consequence, people were going hungry… Read more »
Well we may be talking at cross purposes i.e. we believe the same thing and are getting bogged down in hair-splitting. Lies always mean to deceive and the complex network of lies simply deceives on a larger scale. Furthermore Wolf’s talk of “fascism” may be inaccurate. She may be described as a bourgeois liberal who bandies the word “fascism” about without really knowing what she is talking about. I would not say that the US or the UK are actually full out fascist – although I think that the ingredients are in place. It is also true that a lie can be seen as a lie if it contradicts the direct experience of the listener. However, lies can also be detected by various other aspects and the “Corbyn is Hitler” crap provides an example of this. Two pieces of, as it were, internal evidence turned up in a recent BBC… Read more »
Agreed. I’ve enjoyed this.
Anyone see anything wrong with this alleged photo of ‘Jack Merritt’ and his alleged gf ‘Hollie’?
https://twitter.com/holliej2193/status/1201132142685818884?s=21
Highly professional photography, of two very beautiful people.
There’s a shadow on Jack’s face between his eyes and a bright spot on the underside of his nose suggesting that the light source is not from the selfie camera. The light on Hollie’s face is more consistent with a flash with a selfie although there’s no shadowing from her hair on the right side of her face on the bed clothes.
Conclusion: Looks a bit like a photo montage to me.
I watched the Beeb vid of the shooting and found it weird that the action froze for the moments during which the shots were fired, four times. They didn’t sound right, like they were fired in closed space, an indoor firing range for ex, muffled. And then the action resumed from where it left off. Puzzled I am. Has the vid been meddled?
Editor there’s no evidence of meddling, the action doesn’t freeze, and if for some reason someone wanted to add gun shots to the sound track they wouldn’t need to do so over a still image – ed
OK. Sorry about that. I was looking at Beeb, I just done the RT copy and there is no freeze
For clarity, the Vid of which I spoke, >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mtskm5J7ztM <
It is so nice of On-Guardian to keep publishing photos of JC on his campaign having selfies with the multi-ethnic British voters – they really are getting that meassage across effectively
#Corbyns a [enter racist epithet to suit] lover!
Lol
I am gradually being persuaded by the hoax theory. Not in all cases certainly, but in some. In fact I think we can trace a growing tendency to replace real staged events with real fake events, starting after 9/11. Take a long hard look at the alleged Boston Bombing. I did recently and was truly shocked at the obvious evidence for fakery. From the color of the ‘blood’ to the clearly opportunistic GoFundme Pages by people claiming injuries that pics from the scene prove they could not have. Ditto Sandy Hook. Where normal emergency procedures were flouted and no EMS ever saw a dead body. Where smiling parents with new hairdos and perfect makeup tell schmaltzy generic stories of their alleged kids’ love of butterflies or similar and how anger does no good, and of course how gun laws need tightening. (0k ONE parent going weird like that – maybe.… Read more »
I haven’t looked at a single terror event reported breathlessly 24/7 across the globe that didn’t share hallmarks with the Boston bombing and Sandy Hook … and 9/11. Death and injury were also staged on 9/11. The big difference between 9/11 and all the other staged terror is that they implemented a massive propaganda campaign targeting truthers to ensure they kept believing the lie of real death and injury. This is to stagnate the truth getting out. The perps know that if truthers try to tell people that 9/11 was an inside job where the US government killed all those people in the buildings they will fail because non-truthers will simply not accept that the US government would do such a thing – and in this the non-truthers are absolutely correct. They wouldn’t. Not their MO at all. They’ll kill people in other countries and even send their own soldiers… Read more »
There’s your over-zealous certitude again Petra. If you said “there’s many indications death & injury were also staged on 9/11″ instead of baldly asserting “death and injury were also staged on 9/11” you’d instantly win over a lot more people and alienate a lot less. Try to realise this is a shocking idea to most people that’s way outside their personal Overton Window. If you proclaim it as an undeniable fact you are a) making yourself seem irrational and easier to ignore b) giving people a legit reason to dismiss you. Try saying “in my opinion” or “the evidence suggests” or ” it’s plausible that” – and then give the evidence for that interpretation, calmly and without demanding everyone immediately believes it as much as you do. Stop posting your Ockham’s Razor stuff. And your monetary reward stuff. Stop preaching. And start simply putting up the best evidence. Don’t divert… Read more »
Point taken, MLS, always best to say “evidence suggests”. Stop posting your Ockham’s Razor stuff. And your monetary reward stuff. Stop preaching. And start simply putting up the best evidence. I find it interesting how people have a problem with me using Occam’s Razor. I shall continue to use it, MLS, because I am a natural Occam’s Razorist. I constantly think in terms of, “Does the evidence support my chosen hypothesis with the fewest questions and assumptions raised?”, “Is there any evidence that contradicts it?”. Unlike other people, I never gloss over evidence and my respect for the evidence is absolute. To me my challenge provides a mirror to people to reflect to them that they cannot support their belief. I think it’s useful. Best evidence requires others’ input but I don’t think it’s required. Because of the way they stage these events (they give signs and they never fake… Read more »
You’re posting here in order to inform people, right? If you didn’t care about informing people you’d be off doing something else. You’ve been telling people here about fakery for a long time. 1. How many people have you persuaded in that time? 2. How many people have you alienated & made even less likely to look at the evidence than if you’d said nothing? We both know the rough tally don’t we. You have a terrible record of getting people to engage with your argument. No point in blaming them. It’s down to you to put your case in a way people can engage with. If your aim is to inform and engage you’re going to have to change your approach along the lines I ‘ve advised. Arguing with me isn’t going to alter that fact. Change your approach or continue to have your message fall on deaf ears.… Read more »
You’re right, I have persuaded very few and alienated people. I think I’m different from most people in that I’m purely evidence and logic-based while other people are invested in their beliefs for one reason or another or won’t believe something that seems too counterintuitive or whatever. For example, you think it sounds nutty to say that they give us the clues. You’ve studied the Boston Bombing and Sandy Hook as I have and there are many things that are glaringly obviously wrong, right? So it’s interesting that when I was told about the “signs” I had no trouble accepting the phenomenon because it accorded with these obvious things that had quite puzzled me, while you who has obviously encountered those “signs” too without understanding that that’s in fact what they were (as I didn’t) still think it sounds nutty. The only reason you think it sounds nutty is because… Read more »
I’m gonna take a punt on this and say telling people the reason they don’t get you is because they’re too dumb and emotional to grasp your flawless logic isn’t going to help put your point across.
PS if nuclear bombs aren’t a thing then nuclear fission isn’t a thing. The atom was never split. Rutherford lied. And nuclear power stations are empty buildings full of people paid to do nothing.
You strawman me, Rejuvenator, I don’t say they’re too dumb (they can, in fact, be extremely intelligent – much more intelligent than I am in certain ways at least) or emotional, I say they are not strictly evidence-led – for various reasons. I do not assert that my logic is flawless but I put it out there with a challenge to contradict it and no one has responded to the challenge. This seems to put people’s backs up, true, Rejuvenator, it wouldn’t put mine up if someone did the same but yes it seems to put other people’s up so I guess I need to change tack.
No one arguing against nuclear weapons argues against nuclear power. I’m way too unversed in the matter to even attempt to explain but you can look at the sample chapters of this book and see if you find anything persuasive in it.
https://www.amazon.com/Death-Object-Exploding-Nuclear-Weapons-ebook/dp/B071NGKY17
This is a new scientific low point, Petra.
If nuclear power is real then nuclear bombs are real, because they both harness the same process – nuclear fission.
If nuclear fission can be harnessed to produce heat to power turbines it can be used to produce heat in a thermonuclear explosion.
The two are inextricable. Anyone who tells you different is a liar or an idiot.
I evaluate what I read and hear according to my knowledge and understanding, MLS, and it will be on that basis whether I decide to accept the hypothesis that nuclear weapons are a fraud, it certainly won’t be on your bland dismissal. I accepted the science on anthropogenic climate change quite easily because it made sense to me that if a trace amount of CO2 in the atmosphere keeps the earth from being a frozen ball – and at pre-industrial 280ppm we were perfectly toasty – then pushing that trace level up significantly would cause problems. We’re now at a very scary 415ppm which can only rise more alarmingly. For the past 3 weeks or so I, along with millions of other Australians, have suffered the unpleasant experience of breathing in bushfire fumes 24/7, an unprecedented occurrence, certainly in Sydney – it’s barely the beginning of summer and there’s no… Read more »
Just to add, MLS – indirect indications that nuclear weapons don’t exist are: — we know that Mordechai Vanunu is an intelligence asset hired to pretend that he leaked Israel’s nuclear secrets. What a laugh. Just check out his Wikipedia entry. — similarly, alleged Iranian nuclear scientists’ deaths by bombings are also ludicrous. If you click the link below for search responses on Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan you will find contradicitions and a very silly statement made by his wife https://www.qwant.com/?q=Mostafa+Ahmadi+Roshan&client=ext-chrome-sb — do you seriously think that Kim Jong-un, dubbed “Little Rocket Man” by the Donald, has nuclear weapons? I mean, seriously? And we have to wonder why they present us with completely phony Hiroshima “survivor stories”, just as they provided us with phony 9/11 “survivor stories” and phony Christchurch “survivor stories” to name a few. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-08-06/hiroshima-survivor-junko-morimoto-talks-about-that-day/6675110 I was at home that day with my siblings — two older sisters and… Read more »
Well, how’s them apples, MLS? I might need to do the mental leap that is always required whenever the power elite are concerned. While there is no doubting the reality of the bushfires, the smoke inhalation we are suffering and man-made climate change, I’m now wondering if the fires are a result of a very, very scary non-linear jump or if they are actually deliberate. It would seem insane but I wouldn’t put anything past these bastards. Before my suspicions were raised two things struck me as odd: — the seeming extremeness of the non-linear jump where from one year to the next we just have fires galore — the constant mention of 500 houses being destroyed with very little information about them. And the houses we do see tend to look like virtual hovels anyway. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-17/nsw-bushfires-nearly-500-homes-destroyed-since-start-of-season/11711898 I was alerted to the possibility from a SMH front-page article whose author,… Read more »
And now I revert to terror again. The houses have been explained to me by people who live in areas where the houses have been destroyed. It seems it really is a massive non-linear jump aided by all the mining and fracturing causing lowering of the water table and reducing ground water.
Haha and who is trying to scare you with scary fires? Australia has always been a player in the global warming joke.
Just to add: the pioneering 9/11 researcher, Gerard Holmgren, who died sadly before I knew of him and whose thinking and research on 9/11 I find the most impressive of any analyst/ researcher I’ve encountered, divided the world as follows: — 10% believe everything from authorities and cannot be persuaded — 10% believe nothing from authorities and cannot be persuaded — 80% are persuadable I think he realised after trying to get the word out on 9/11 that he was wrong about the 80%. If you’re interested this is a funny satire by Gerard on 9/11 Conspiracy Theories. https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/gerard-holmgren.html Independently, from experience arguing with my twin sister and a couple of friends I kind of worked out the disbelievers-by-default group. Man, I have argued about the moon landings with my sister for an insane number of hours – not to prove that we went but just to show her the… Read more »
If the psychopaths that be judged 911 had become too toxic and needed purging how might they do this? Possibly only by pretending it was all a fake. They might first introduce increasingly transparent hoax scenarios such as Skripal and the Doumas (which is even now being debunked on the fringes of the MSM).
Perhaps we should go along with Petra and her scary fires.
And don’t forget the FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS …
This “terrorism” is a very strange form of terrorism.
Terrorism is violence for a political purpose. Remember IRA terrorism back in the 70s? The IRA had explicit political demands. They tied their violence to those demands, attacking primarily expressions of the British state. They wanted an independent Ireland, free of British imperialism. But Islamic terrorists, such as Mr Khan, do not appear to have any political objectives; they don’t tell us what they want; they don’t tie their violence to any rational strategy. This, whatever it might be, isn’t terrorism.
I totally agree with what you say; but would further venture that this isn’t ‘terrorism’ in the accepted sense, it’s ‘government terrorism’.
Ahead of the general strike in France this coming Thursday, a large car bomb in Lille was defused by police this afternoon.

I know, it’s the Daily Mail, and at the time of writing it’s still very hard to find out what actually happened in Lille today.
But Islamic terrorists, such as Mr Khan, do not appear to have any political objectives;

I have to say that I struggle with the premise, as suggested by many on here, that this attack is a hoax. And when I say ‘hoax’, I mean a staged event using many actors and fake deaths. It just doesn’t make much sense. Or rather, there is an explanation that makes much more sense. Let’s for arguments sake say that this is a false flag operation. So, which scenario seems the most likely? a) That this is an elaborate hoax involving many actors, and that no one actually died. b) This is a simple false flag operation involving one very suggestible patsy who is now conveniently dead. My instincts would have me choose the simple alternative b every time. Why? Because it is neater, more tidy, and with less likely to go wrong. And there is much less possibility of the truth leaking out. The less who know the… Read more »

I tend to agree with you Ity. It’s hard to imagine our leaders being capable of organising a piss up in a brewery let alone an elaborate hoax. Even for certain agencies with high organisational skills, it doesn’t even make sense for them to stage a hoaxed event and especially in the middle of a busy Friday in London.

The thing is, that it is in the realms of possibility that the event was ‘nudged’ into taking place. A word here, a word there, a ‘helpful’ suggestion perhaps… But this still doesn’t make the event a ‘staged’ or ‘hoax’ event. The event would still be very real and genuine to all those involved, but it would still suit the purposes of anyone wishing to take advantage of the event for their own nefarious ends. And the more genuine the event the better, as this leaves fewer loose ends to tie up, and fewer possibilities of any compromising leaks further down the road.
I’ll always assume that any dark operatives will be keeping things as dark as possible, which would mean operating on a strict ‘need to know’ basis. Why let needless weak links into any chain of operation?
The claim that the PTB are too stupid is used to dismiss all ‘conspiracy theories’ out of hand. It seems a little sophistic to me.
ity, what you say doesn’t factor in how power works. Power doesn’t have to worry about the truth leaking out. I know a barista whose dad worked next door to the Sari bar, site of the 2002 Bali bombing. The dad said that he was asked to go and help with the injured but when he went to help there were no injured to help. So the truth “leaked” a tiny bit but so what? The barista only told me after a few months after my going into the cafe bleating on and on about 9/11 being a completely staged event (like this one) and other events. I’m sure he tells very few people because what do you think their reaction will be? And you know what happens when I try to pass this information on? Do you think people embrace what I say with belief? Loads of people are… Read more »
I’ve had a quick look at your site. I find it ironic that you use the concept of ‘Occam’s razor’ in the very title of the site, but then proceed to demonstrate an almost complete lack of understanding of what Occam’s razor is all about.
I’m sorry, but as far as I’m concerned, you are someone who is either intentionally trying to obfuscate and confuse, or you are genuinely as mad as a box of frogs. Please forgive my abruptness and rudeness here, but I don’t intend to engage with you further. Life’s to short.
Petra goes too far, is too emphatic and full of certitude, which effectively destroys her own argument.
BUT the claim for faked death is much stronger than she makes it seem.
It’s worth looking into on your own terms. There are many many anomalies in recent alleged terror events that strongly imply fakery.
MLS, Could you please identify an example where I’m too emphatic and how I destroy my own argument?
MLS, Could you please identify an example where I’m too emphatic and how I destroy my own argument? Certainly – and with no intended offence. All those claims of certitude about the perps’ intentions, deliberately leaving clues etc just put people off and sound nutty. The fact is you don’t know what the perps’ intentions are, and neither does the guy you always quote as an authority and neither do any of us. Presenting speculation about their intentions as fact is pointless. It adds NOTHING to the important point (the alleged fakery), diverts from it and makes you seem irrational for claiming as fact that which is merely rumour of speculation. Your point is much stronger without it. Trust me. I don’t agree with you in defining 9/11 as fake – simply because three buildings definitely fell down. But I am increasingly of the opinion fakery does happen. Maybe a… Read more »
MLS, I say that they give clues because I was told this and had no hesitation believing it because I’d previously been baffled by things that didn’t fit “carrying off the event as realistically as possible”, eg, Robbie Parker walking to the microphone with a big smile on his face and the second plane popping out the other side of the South tower. I have a page devoted to support of this claim. Can you identify on my page where what I put forward for supporting this claim does not in fact support it? https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/they-tell-us-clearly.html Sound nutty – yes, it does seem that people simply cannot get their head around the fact that they TELL us. Despite my constant bleating about the fact they TELL us with clues and providing evidence for it people still think it’s nutty. But that’s because, MLS, people are simply not judging by the evidence.… Read more »
I’m trying to help you get your message across Petra, because I agree fakery is an issue that needs to be encompassed on sites like this one. There’s no reason to get defensive. MLS, I say that they give clues because I was told this and had no hesitation believing it because I’d previously been baffled by things that didn’t fit Sure, there’s nothing wrong with your believing it. The problem – as I said – is presenting your belief as if it were a fact. (A fact, btw, is something that is proven to be true, NOT something currently not proven to be false. Important diff). Plus this stuff adds nothing to the fakery debate. It just brings in more speculation and muddies the water. If your aim is to persuade people I think you will be much more effective if you abandon that line. But if that’s not… Read more »
I used the word believe but I could have used the word “recognise”. When there are numerous examples of an hypothesis being supported then I think we can call it “fact”.
I think in a previous post I gave a link to my page which is devoted to evidence supporting that they tell us. If you do not think this is sufficient evidence to call it fact perhaps you can explain why not.
https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/they-tell-us-clearly.html
I’ll certainly try and keep an open mind.
ity, You’ve said you have no wish to engage further so fair enough if you don’t respond but people are always telling me I don’t understand Occam’s razor or I’m not using it correctly or whatever but they never actually explain how they think I’ve got it wrong. Would you mind doing so?
Petra, as I understand it, Occam’s razor is about keeping things as simple as possible. It is a way of comparing hypotheses, and Occam’s razor suggests that the least complicated hypothesis will more likely be correct than the more complicated hypothesis. Occam’s razor is sometimes summed up by; ‘The simple solution is more likely to be right than the complicated solution’. Occam’s razor also doesn’t like assumption, and so naturally veers away from assumptions. Assumption can be the enemy of critical thinking. So, to me your posts and your site are riddled with assumptions painted as fact. And you like to unnecessarily complicate things, and often to an extreme degree. It often comes across as if you are looking for ‘facts’ to fit your hypothesis and beliefs, rather than looking at facts first, and then using facts to form an hypothesis. It looks like you put the cart before the… Read more »
ity, You still avoid specifics. I define Occam’s Razor on my home page and I follow my definition. How I define it is similar to what you say, “Which hypothesis fits the evidence with the fewest questions and assumptions raised.”
For my Occam’s Razor exercises I simply present facts and indicate that those facts support my chosen hypothesis better than the opposing hypothesis. It’s very straightforward.
This is waffle. Can you please provide a specific example.
Petra, if I could move away from Occam’s razor for a moment, and post something related to your site. I want to be careful here, as I’m not trying to attack you, but want to give you some understanding. But the point I’m about to make might perhaps about to pull the rug from under your feet, so make sure that you are sitting down. Do you mind if I quote you from your own site? I’m not swayed by my emotions nor am I unwilling to change my beliefs or recognise that I’ve been duped – I feel no sense of shame at being duped where others, I think, do, which makes them resistant to recognising it. That’s it. I may have believed something for years but in almost an instant I’ll turn on a dime to believe something else if the evidence indicates I should. After watching JFK… Read more »
I’m afraid you misinterpret what I say, ity. When I first woke up to 9/11 being an inside job I believed the US govt killed the people so the cognitive dissonance was great but I believed they cold-bloodedly and callously killed them. It wasn’t until four years later that I realised that the cognitive dissonance I’d suffered earlier was greater than it needed to be because at that point I realised they didn’t kill them.
I haven’t misinterpreted. Your own words are there. You need the hoax theory because you can’t accept, and will not accept, that the US government is capable of killing its own people. This is an example of you misunderstanding Occam’s razor. You have made an enormous assumption, that the US government couldn’t kill its own people, and have used this assumption to underpin everything that you believe in. But what if this assumption of yours is wrong? And on what have you based this assumption? Is it just a need to believe? And it looks like you have gone to great lengths and contortions to try and fit reality into your own theories. Which again is against what Occam’s razor is about. You needlessly complicate what is perhaps simple. Of course you will resist anything which threatens the fabric of your belief system. Who wouldn’t? I myself have resisted many… Read more »
ity, I will change my words to make them clearer but if you read them carefully you will see that what I say is that I went through the cognitive dissonance at the time believing that the people really died but then realised LATER that the severe cognitive dissonance gone through at the time was unnecessary because the people weren’t killed.
I will withdraw from this discussion now.
OK. But might I suggest that you didn’t in fact go ‘through’ your cognitive dissonance, that you never really came to grips with it or dealt with it, instead looking for ways to avoid it, to explain it away. Which is where your hoax theory comes in.
I put 10 points favouring staged death and injury over real at the link below, ity, and have issued a challenge for those who believe that death and injury were real to present 10 points with favouring reversed. No one has responded. Perhaps the challenge will interest you?
https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/3000-dead-and-6000-injured-a-lie.html
Goodbye Petra.
I wonder what’s behind your goodbye, ity. Did you look at the 10 points at all? Did you decide that they didn’t favour the staged death and injury hypothesis over real but you’re not bothering to say why? Have you come up with a single point that favours the real death and injury hypothesis? So you’re letting me know that you have finished “engaging” with me as it were and yet you have actually not made one valid claim with backup in all your words – not a single one – the one claim you did make with “backup” showed a misinterpretation. Ity, I think you show promise as a hoax analyst in your obvious observational skills but you need to develop your logic and reason skills. You cannot make claims without backing them up and you need to read more carefully. And you must always keep an open mind… Read more »
Actually Petra, I wish that I hadn’t responded to your post in such a dismissive manner. I can’t be sure where you’re coming from with your posts, or your site, but I do detect a lack of logical thinking in what you say, and poor reasoning, and can find many holes in the ideas that you push. You just jump to too many conclusions, and too quickly. But the reason that I don’t wish to personally engage with you in argument or discussion, is that I can see any discussions between us going nowhere. We are both perhaps quite adamant in what we believe, and past experience has taught me that sometimes it is better to just not engage, rather than get involved in pointless discussions/arguments that could go on for months, and in a fruitless fashion that gets us nowhere. I’m trying to learn to conserve my energy for… Read more »
OK, ity, but at this point you haven’t actually identified anything specific and thus we haven’t actually engaged at all. Are you not being just a tiny bit premature? How do you know how I’ll respond. Don’t you think that rather than simply make assertions about someone not understanding Occam’s Razor and exhibiting a lack of logical thinking that you need to identify where their errors are? I state very clearly on my home page how I use Occam’s Razor and I believe that I follow my explanation of it so I’m not sure where you think I’m wrong. Do you think I define it correctly but don’t follow my definition or do you think my definition is incorrect?
Look Petra, as far as I am concerned, your site and posts are full of loopy assumptions, illogical reasoning, and jumps into goodness knows where. And now you are trying to get me to engage with you, which is what I am trying to avoid. Why? Because there is nothing in it for me. I could waste months picking over your points, and I could spend months going over your site with you bit by bit, and telling you where I think you’ve gone wrong, but why would I bother? Do you think I have nothing better to do? Please, don’t take this personally, but I just don’t have the time or the energy. If you can’t be bothered to make sure that you have a good understanding of Occam’s razor before using it in the title of your site, then I certainly can’t be bothered putting you right. My… Read more »
Waffle again, ity. Yes, I think we can leave it here.
Yes, sorry about that. I’ve left a more considered and hopefully more helpful reply to you further up the thread. Your use of Occam’s razor has obviously been fatally compromised by a belief that you hold dear.
Just to add, ity:
If you don’t wish to spend the time explaining your claims then simply don’t make them. If you wish to criticise you cannot simply make claims, you need to back them up. They’re really quite meaningless without backup, aren’t they? What credibility do they have? The fact that you keep making claims without backup indicates that it is you who has the problem with logical reasoning, ity.
I’ve moved on from the above curt dismissal, (rudeness is a weakness of mine) and have engaged with you as best I can further up. So it looks like I don’t in fact have anything better to do. 😉 x
Jeez ity, what about the FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS???
The $5000 us nothing but bait, an attempt to suck people down a bottomless rabbit hole. I’ve had a look at Petra’s site, and it is nothing but bullshit folded into bullshit, and then wrapped up in more bullshit. With a dollop of bullshit on top for good measure.
Is it an intentional tool designed to confuse, entangle, and break the mind? Or is it just the creation of a mind already confused and broken and hopelessly entangled? Not sure, and I don’t really care. But no way am I engaging further with that craziness. No siree.

Toby Williamson is “proud to know” the heroes.
Petra
I’m glad you posted this – intending to post a link last night, I could only find a partial version of it. I read his comments in yesterday’s (UK) Times newspaper and couldn’t believe what I was reading…surreal. I honestly thought the newspaper must have got it wrong in some way or were adding dramatic flourish to the testimony but this link proves they didn’t.
But, and I think this explains a lot and could add to the mystery of the whole affair, Toby Williamson was described as former Royal Navy officer Commodore Toby Williamson.
What the fuck even is this? Who is this guy and why is he being interviews while clearly reading off of a crib sheet?
To me it looks as though he’s reading both when he looks down and when he’s looking at the camera. There seems to be two sources of his script. You must always bear in mind, Andy, that they give us the clear signs that it’s a hoax, so the obvious script reading is not an accident. I found his saying “You’ve got Alla and Sandra” amusing because my sister’s name is Alessandra.
Commodore Toby Williamson is the Chief Executive at Fishmongers Hall i.e. he employed the ‘heroes’ whom he names and describes in his very peculiar ‘homage’.
It is entirely possible that this is a hoax. Anyone who doubts it should think back to the barking insanity that was the Skirpal narrative last year. It was one huge hoax, which became more unhinged by the day. By the time it started to fade from the headlines, the entire story had all the credibility of a fairy tale told by a dead talking zombie cat. Yet no one in the Pravda MSM challenged any of it. Shows you what they’re capable when ever they fear a loss of power and influence. Ditto Russiagate.
Pam, I think the more accurate way to put it is, “It is impossible that it is a real event.”
Pam, good point to bring in the Salisbury poisonings (which were so ridiculous it’s embarrassing).
The whole thing is so ridiculous I was starting to wonder today whether the purpose was in fact to discredit the media and government.
They would never publicly discredit their mouthpieces and puppets.
They think the general public is generally stupid enough to fall for these lazy, sloppy unintelligent productions by the best and brightest that government can buy.
Notice that the “hero” with the knife is not the focus of interest for the people in the background at the far end of the bridge at that moment. The “hero” may have prematurely appeared and the crowd hadn’t received their cue of where to be looking. He looks clueless as well. No wonder they do not want him identified.

From Sky News, recent ‘terror attacks’ in the UK… https://news.sky.com/story/terror-in-the-uk-timeline-of-attacks-11833061 It should be noted that the October 2019 incident, in which some nutter stabbed three people in Manchester (but didn’t actually kill anyone) has never been properly defined as a terrorist incident (more likely it was due to the massive cuts to mental health services in the UK). Prior to the incident in Manchester last October, the ‘terror attacks that took place were all during the 2017 general election campaign. Incidentally, this weekend in London a young guy was stabbed to death outside a pub. The knife crime epidemic is an absolute scandal. Barely a day goes by when someone doesn’t get murdered. But are the media going to show people lighting candles and holding vigils for this vast number of other victims? Nope. The presstitutes are silent.

More security serves no purpose for the public – only the security services. In actual fact if we look at the Skripal case as well as recent terrorist attacks in the UK.. security services usually perform an enabling role failing to protect anyone. If they needed protecting at all, as in the Skripal case where the everyone (including the ducks) survived, while Sergey and Yulia disappeared, we have to ask the question – where did all the £9 million spent on Salisbury go? Not the local hospital. Where the senior surgeon had to use regular snail mail to get out the truth – no one treated there had suffered a chemical nerve agent attack. Also the same paradigm applies to international security for example NATO where no apparent benefit is achieved except for the shareholders of weapons companies. The simple question is why?

the video reminds me of the piss poor footahe of the 7 and 7 ritual event
nato summit on tuesday i believe a security summit was going on in scotland on 7 and 7
and bb nuttyahoo of israel was in the same street of the bus bomb at the tavistock mind control hq
terror events around the time of international security meetings
weird
ot’s all gladio 2 me
i am not a very good shot when i go duck hunting i have too use a blunderbus and a cannon with thousands of ball bearings. most of my time is taken up with getting all the ducks in line lined up for the hunt. when completed a successful campaign is guaranteed sometimes later the story of the hunt has too be changed too correct human error during the hunt game play. no members of the public where harmed in this non actuality i say this too the house this was an internal fishmonger issue that spilled onto the no mans land between 2 states the private empire of the city of london outside the kings and queens reach and the other place called team gb. what happens in fishmongers massive halls should stay in the halls failure or secrets breached should be cause for a sleep trip with the… Read more »
Since you are showing the image of the hero again, I like to point out this time that he is carrying the knife in a forensic fashion. He does not use his fingers to hold it. He has clinched it between thumb and hand – as is done when picking up something without leaving fingerprints is necessary.
But the question would then be:
Why is he holding it like that, if he has taken the knife from the attacker, he must have grabbed it by the handle and not the blade, correct? Plus, if it was taped to the wrist, it would have required to work it off the attackers wrist.
In conjunction with all the other ‘news’ of lately, the pattern of mass-manipulation emerges once again. It’s like teaching the Pavlovian dogs a new trick.
I believe it should be possible for anyone to practise whatever faith they prefer.
However, this kid Khan appears to have been a nothing, a total zero who had probably never achieved anything in his life.
So why this?
Ask the real question and you come up with Anjem Choudary, or someone like him.
Until the appalling purveyors of hatred are put away permanently, these acts will be a part of daily life.
this was an internal fishmonger issue
all the players involved had fishy connections
my old dad used too say never trust a khan or a coen
for are the khans not coen of sorts.
i think you will find this show was just that bad poorly worked street performance.
for your version of the event may i suggest global radio london glr they have 12 hours of talk on the musselamic problem so those zio radio actors may suit you sir
LOL.
You must think we’re all from Grimsby or something.
Ask the real question and you come up with state security asset Anjem Choudary, recruiting fodder to fight for British/American/European foreign policy objectives.
Choudhury has been on the MI5 payroll for years.
Just like Bin Laden and Bagdaddy.
do not forget the hooky guy

Why should the British Transport Police officer not be named? Why should his face not be displayed? Isn’t it odd not to celebrate his heroism? Perhaps the British Transport Police have a directive wherein the names and faces of their active “officers” are not to be revealed by the U.K. press. Do they? Does any other U.K. entity have such a directive? Hmm. Well now that we know this person is just an unnamed pixelated public transport cop there is no need to ask about the knife he is holding–which of the two knives was it? how did this cop come into its possession seeing as he’s not readily identifiable in the narwhal tusk / fire extinguisher ruckus?– and what of the white pouch he throws away? Did he get that pouch, too, from Khan? Or was it his own white pouch? And what exactly is it? And what exactly… Read more »
the pale marine sorry cop with the knife above.
is either catching some rays in tel aviv or he is getting a rub down on richard bransons or epsteins island.
what do they call it in the military is it R and R
either way this rory stewart look alike will not be on the telly anytime soon.
his family put out a statement yesterday asking for privacy no kiddin
for real
a cop a hero who wants to be alone
bless
Perhaps he was playing the same part as played by PC Plod in the Skripal FF? If he had come down with minor knife wounds shortly afterwards, the fit would have been perfect. /s
How do we know he wasn’t the real Tory Rory but with a touch of the photoshop treatment?
tory rory has been known 2 dress up as a lady so the idea makes sense.
that boy likes a costume change
i believe he has excellent knife skills did he not walk alone across helmand counting poppy plants for his masters.
yes tory rory should be given a military medal
alas the turgid no mans land street performance will not qualify for a bafta and as the performance happened neither in the state that is the city or in the uk then alas an award cannot be given
Maybe he was late for the start of his shift at London Bridge Underground Station. It’s a big beat to pound.
Here’s video analysis proving that the
2019 London Bridge terror event was contrived
.
After the stabber has been shot dead by UK Police, he later moves around and even sits up:

If, I’ll repeat that, if he really had kitchen knives taped to his wrists, then wouldn’t this have been glaringly obvious to the people in Fishmonger’s Hall when he entered it??
Of course, he could have been wearing a jacket with VERY long sleeves, but is that likely?
And why is there no evidence of blood on the pavement? Even for a head shot from the top of the head straight down the spine, the short range would more or less guarantee an exit wound and hence some blood loss from lower down in the torso. But a shot to the head? There’s a lot of blood in the head.
Kashmiris wrap even blankets around them. Burka style clothing is also a good hiding place. Cultural enrichment for suckers.
What’s an “even blanket”? And any clothing can hide stuff. Although admittedly “Burka style clothing” would be easier to hide nuclear reactors under.
he may have been dressed as a rabbi or a rabbit even a musselamic
alas we will never know as these are private matters of the fishmongers who never divulge secrets of the sister hood just like the boys in charlies angels
I would like to know how one guy can tape two knives to both of his own hands.
This is curious. Could it be that the deep state has already decided that Corbyn will most likely win the election and so they are making plans to “break him in”?
OK – on reflection that was a pretty dumb suggestion. The deep state would still be happier with the Tories.
Probably. Like showing the Zapruder tape to all incoming US presidents (according to the late Bill Hicks).
I can’t even imagine what will go on if Corbyn wins. Brace yourselves.
Looks like Off-G’s on the ball with this. Good stuff. The facts that appeared instantly about the attacker within hours included: Kashmiri pakistan muslim; Stoke on Trent The first is aimed at the Hindu Indian diaspora – tying Corbyn/Labour as being anti-Modi Kashmir policy and Pro Pakistan, islamaphobia smears – specifically the voters in Uxbridge, the PM’s seat, which is threatened by the young bright Labour candidate. The second to the gammons of the 7 towns (inc Newcastle) who have been turning back to Labour. The setting of Fishmongers Hall is significant – it is the City! The dirtiest election ever – the beeb has lost any standing it has head with its presstitutes and news and politics management. From replacing the footage of a bumbling drunk slob PM bobo at the Cenatophe ceremony with one from years before – to editing out laughter at him by the audience at… Read more »
As the article says, the terrorism isn’t being used to attack Corbyn, at least not by the entire MSM. There’s a clear split actually. The Beeb is anti-Corbyn, but the Graun and even the Economist are not!
The Obssesive Groan not Anti-Corbyn????
In which alternative universe do you live?
Actually there have been several broadly pro-Labour, articles in the Guardian lately. Maybe readers will link to some of them
So perhaps my earlier thought that the media is softening towards Corbyn was right? They don’t like Corbyn but if they start to get the feeling their constant effort to turn him into the Lord of The Rings is starting to slip, they may be making contingency plans i.e. figuring out how to sell off the NHS with Corby at the helm.
cf. the turnaround in the US. From born again Christian gunslinger GW Bush to superliberal Obama (a -gasp -black president!) This shows how radical they can be …in terms of presentation. It’s a bit like ditching Clint Eastwood for Morgan Freeman. But it’s still Hollywood.
Yet, GWBush is pictured having really close, good times with both Obama’s separately. Some right wing Christian and Republican he is.
There is no difference between US Presidents. Every US President has been related to all the other Presidents. They represent only the elite, intertwined ruling families that they were born into.
Beth Rigby (Sky News) seems positively angry about the cynicism of the Tory campaign and their revolting determination to exploit the incident for perceived electoral gain. Gross.
What a coincidence! Blake Pender, alleged to be a Muslim at the time of seeming terrorist behaviour two years ago (but seemingly having converted to Judaism since), appeared in court four days ago in Sydney. Funnily enough, at the time of his alleged offence, he approached police with a knife CONCEALED UP HIS SLEEVE just after UPLOADING an Islamic flag (these last two items mentioned in video below where the YouTuber points out that the TV journalist inaccurately says “with a knife and the Islamic State flag”). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DH45C9xYNg

In a nutshell, the following is prohibited even on non main steam sites in the West: associating Muslims with terrorism. For the Western Left exotic non-white people are innocent victims who never did anything wrong and for the Western Right the Anglo-Arab oil dollar pact is paramount.
Mix in some Stockholm-syndrome plus fear of violence and Western European cultures have a new Religion. The EU top is solidly bought and sold for $$$$$$$$.
Give it a rest, your posts are becoming silly. Most people posting here have no love of Muslims, nor they hate them with a vengeance as you do.
I don’t hate Muslims, I pity them being born in such circumstances. Specially the women and children get a hard time.
I simply shelve the Koran in its right place, next to Mein Kampf.
Swish!
Antonym
Have you met many muslims? The ones I meet, woman and men tend to be far happier, content and decent people than some of the ‘bible bashers’ or those who attend church once a month to feel better about themselves.
Whatever you may think of the koran, the majority of muslims don’t practice the distorted version, and Islam plays a daily structure and order to their lives.
I think the problem with religion is not the koran or bible but some people within religion. Less so in Islam perhaps because they take religion more seriously. But far more so in Christianity.
Both religions are guilty of being wrong about the interaction between religion and what’s going on in the world and being too ‘ tribal’ At least that’s my experience.
‘Whatever you may think of the koran, the majority of muslims don’t practice the distorted version’ I wish you were right but one of the main features of the growth of Islam in the UK since the 70s has been Saudi funding of UK mosque building and of madrassars in Pakistan where British imams have tended to have been trained until very recently. I have witnessed immigration to my northern city since the 1950s. In those days most immigrants from the Indian sub continent were single males who tended to work hard in order to send their earnings back home to families. Many of them went to the pub on their days off, drank alcohol and even smoked. When they brought their families over those former pub goers became increasingly insular. Of course, not all Muslims are Wahaabi, but that particularly insular interpretation of Islam has seen a growing influence… Read more »
Yes and Muslim fundamentalists are no better or worse than their Christian fundamentalist counterparts. They’ll all victims of the same medieval indoctrination campaign..
Should you not have included Judaism in your thesis? The head of this religion in UK has recently openly attacked Jeremy Corbyn, one of a stream of attacks by people of this religion again Corbyn and Labour. Wonder why this is? When it comes to terrorism then Israel is the terrorist state according to the book “State of Terror – How terrorism created the modern state of Israel” by Thomas Suarez, which defines hundreds of such acts in detail.
There’s certainly a lot of slaughtering going on in the Old Testament. But that’s OK ’cause God sanctioned it.
I pity you Antonym for having such a twisted brain. Did you have a hard time in your early years? Do you pity the Palestinian children being murdered by psychopaths on a daily basis?
So you do have a copy of Mein Kampf which you keep among your inspirational works then?
Oh damn! I wished I’d noticed that. I think it’s time Ant wrote his own “My Struggle” since he and Adolf have a lot in common in terms of rabble rousing hate-mongering propaganda.
It really is tiresome this use of Mein Kampf as a form of insult. I have read Mein Kampf, but have never owned a copy. In the 1960s, admittedly a very different time from now, it was felt appropriate for my grammar school library to have a copy. Interestingly, this was at a time when many of our teachers had served during world war two, but there seemed much less of the current closed mindedness to what after all is an important historical document. SO much has changed since then, including of course, Holocaust accounts, but the one thing that I took away from Mein Kampf in the early 1960s was the Lebensraum doctrine and the idea of German colonisation of the east. Hitler has been much reviled for this policy, and so it came as a great shock to me to learn much later that ‘Drang nach Osten’ had… Read more »
I managed to read the first 50 pages or so of Mein Kampf. I found it turgid. Hitler had a monolithic outlook full of overwrought stereotyping. I think I bailed out kept when he said something about how “good German children” would sacrifice themselves for the Fatherland.
Sorry about that “kept” there. I shouldn’t have kept it in.
I have never read it, as it happens, but actually, I think it’s probably important to have read it, along with other significant works, such as Das Kapital, and Chairman Mao’s little red book. But most people who have tried (including George Mc below) say it’s unreadable. Possibly more readable is Hitler’s Table Talk, transcriptions of conversations at Hitler’s headquarters from 1941-1944 (although I haven’t read those, either). Somewhere on the web, I found some recordings of Hitler talking to someone or a small group, when he didn’t realise he was being recorded. He wasn’t making a speech, and he wasn’t ranting, and sounded fairly normal. To regard him as a madman is a serious mistake I think. He may have become a monster, but first he was a man, and in order to understand the history of the 20th century, I think you have to understand the man behind… Read more »
Why don’t you enlighten us then, Antonym? The original sentencing stated he was from Stoke on Trent. If you have more pertinent information then why not share it?
Well of course Muslims are capable of terrorism. The questions with terrorism is: who is funding it and whose interests does it serve? I don’t automatically swallow any narrative that says, “We just didn’t see it coming!” Consider: there must be fully detailed information files on every UK citizen. Everything everyone does on the net is fully visible. There must be software surveillance packages that are set to be triggered by a certain number of repetitions of key words. Should your trigger level go beyond a certain post, someone will be watching. And if you are put on a list of “suspected terrorists” the surveillance will increase. And if you are a “known terrorist”, you wouldn’t be able to break wind without it being it being noted. And so any actual Muslim terrorist group operating in the UK will be well known to the security services. Conclusion: the deep state… Read more »

At 36.38 is a chart, you will have your answer, in part; the EU, has also financed ISIS.
The Alleged Attacker
Bollocks in the first line: no need to read more of this author.
The Muslim youth
the security state here and in Europe. The whole movement was monitored from the beginning, all the prime movers are security service assets who were allowed to recruit cannon-fodder to fight in Libya and then Syria. Those people indoctrinated into ISIL will not be allowed home, no one cares what happens to them now except for their families. This has been the greatest use of state apparatus on a near-global scale ever.
Take the blinkers from your eyes and drop your implanted hatred and see that a whole generation of Muslims have been thoroughly conned, abused and made idiots of.
conned, abused and made idiots of
Maybe it was the ones who were already idiots, who were so easily conned into serving as cannon fodder in a war against the Empire’s enemies, other Moslems who weren’t so stupid and easily abused.
(sigh…)
I see WWI military mentality in all the “official” handling of such events these days.
Calling a deranged individual like this a “terrorist” is just a politically fashionable excuse for not bothering to investigate the case at all. He fits the Washington Narrative nicely, and the Washington Narrative of world events must never ever be hindered by, or subject to, anything – not even journalism.
“Have another whisky, Lord Faultatall. Damned dreadful that London Bridge thing, don’t you think? Dreadful. Can’t trust those Muslims at all. Trump is quite right to build a wall. We should do the same. Glad I don’t live in Stoke-on-Trent.”…
(sigh again…)
I still can’t get over the timing. And the Tories backfiring responses don’t seem at all spontaneous, if you ask me. All sorts of weird and premature material being pumped out. Almost as if the Tories had spent some time going over some talking points regarding how they might exploit and weaponise a “terrorist” attack just in case there was one. We know what they’re capable of.
If the knive(s) were taped to his wrists, how did the ‘hero’ walk away with one?!
Did no-one at a conference of violent offenders notice that one of the participants had knives taped to his wrists?
It’s only when I see a staged event in Australia that I know nobody else will cotton onto (and there’s quite a number) that I go in myself to do the tedious working out of all the BS because they just so sicken me but there is generally a touch or two that will amuse me. In this one, it’s the knives (I think one source stated just one) taped to the wrists and the narwhal tusk. Narwhal tusk! Doncha love it? I didn’t even know what a narwhal was, vaguely thinking it was some kind of walrus-like animal but discovered it’s a whale where the male sports a very long tooth. Apparently, in the Middle Ages the tusks were fobbed off to royalty as “unicorn horns”. I wonder if that fakery has anything to do with its presence in this event.
3 min video on narwhals – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVwYygnGkPE
Bingo. However (sarcasm alert!), if the knifer would have used duct tape instead of some cheap packaging tape from Tesco, nobody could have taken off the knives…
I’m sure our hero “transport policeman” would have pulled out a Swiss Army knife and made short work of the duct tape. Maybe the SAS should consider recruiting from among their number…..oh, wait….
The knives – I read pretty early on the that the guy had gone to the toilet with a bag and came back and started his attack. I have also read an eyewitness report that says he had one knife taped to his wrist and was just holding the other. This other one was the one stamped out of his hand by the public, and was then taken away by the plain clothed cop. I’m not saying this are true or not – but there seems to be an incredible amount of time spent discussing knives & tape, as a reason why it must be a false flag – when the reasons are already out there in the public domain. Again – I’m not saying that it was or wasn’t a FF, but the knives/tape thing isn’t the issue to focus on
Still loads of comments about the tape/knives. And people wonder why we, who use alt media, can be easily dismissed as ‘conspiracy theorists’ by the MSM & their enablers, the unthinking masses. Do yourselves a favour and engage brain before pressing the ENTER key
