The Huntingdon Train Attack: Speculation and Further Questions
Iain Davis
On Saturday Novembers 1st, ten people travelling on the 18.45 London North Eastern Railway (LNER) service from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, to London’s King’s Cross station were reportedly stabbed and later hospitalised.
At the time of writing, one man remains in a critical but stable condition following a knife attack on the train. Five people have been discharged from hospital and five remain. With the exception of the one critical patient, their injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
Two men were arrested at Huntingdon station but one thirty five year old man has been released without charge and excluded from further police inquires. No one knows anything about this second man.
The suspected perpetrator is Anthony Williams, a thirty two year old British man who reportedly caught the train at Peterborough. He is said to have launched the attack in carriage J of the nine carriage train while the train was about ten minutes north of Huntingdon station in Cambridgeshire. Police have said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack and do not consider it to be “terror related.”
Passengers triggered the train emergency stop alarm and an emergency call was received by the police at 19.39 from the LNER train as it approached Huntingdon, where it made an unscheduled emergency stop. British Transport Police (BTP) officers and armed response officers from Cambridgeshire Police were dispatched to Huntingdon station at 19.42. Upon its arrival, passengers able to flee the train ran to safety and, reportedly by 19.50, the police had detained the two men.
Williams allegedly stabbed another person at Pontoon Dock DLR—Docklands Light Railway—station in east London earlier at 00.45 on 1st November. An eye witness report from Huntingdon seemed to indicate that the suspect was quite possibly mentally ill and was raving about fighting “the devil” before begging police to kill him. The police subsequently arrested Anthony Williams and charged him with eleven counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm, and two counts of possession of bladed article.
When the alarm was raised on the LNER train, counter-terrorism police were alerted. The attack was declared a major incident and Operation Plato was triggered. This is a police and emergency services protocol that is automatically set in motion whenever a “marauding terror attack” is suspected. The Plato protocol requires a predefined police response, including the immediate dispatch of armed counter-terrorism units. Police later stated that Operation Plato was quite quickly rescinded, though it is hard to understand why that would have been the case.
In the immediate aftermath, BTP Superintendent John Loveless told the media “it would not be appropriate to speculate on the cause of this incident.” This sentiment was later reinforced by BTP Chief Superintendent Chris Casey who repeated Supt Loveless’ statement, saying the police would not “speculate” about the cause of the attack.
The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood also said “I urge people to avoid comment and speculation at this early stage.” The Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said that she is “not going to speculate about [Williams’] motivations,” adding that Williams was “not known to counter-terrorism police, he was not known to the security services, and he was not known to the Prevent programme” [The UK government’s totally illogical and completely baseless re-education program supposedly designed to stop people becoming terrorists].
Former Labour spin-doctor and private sector political lobbyist Tom Harris, writing in his weekly column for the Telegraph, said:
While the causes and motives of Saturday’s distressing events shouldn’t be speculated about, they have nevertheless revealed a fundamental vulnerability of passengers using a system that was never designed to anticipate such appalling violence. [. . .] [I]n a free society where freedom of movement within our borders, free of the need for official approval is (rightly) seen as sacrosanct[,] [n]o level of extra security measures can offer 100 per cent guarantees of individual safety. [. . .] More CCTV cameras – including more widespread use of facial recognition technology [. . .] can make a contribution, either to deterrence of violence or to subsequent investigations. But the degree of state intrusion [. . .] that would be required to remove all risk from our daily lives would be unacceptable to the very public who would most benefit from such measures.
There are a few assumptions we might challenge in Tom Harris’ offered rationale. Why would more facial recognition technology on our railways deter terrorists or the mentally ill? If they are clinically insane or prepared to die for their cause, why would they care if they are spotted on some AI controlled surveillance system?
Would people be automatically stopped from getting on a train if they are on any kind of watch list? And if, as has been suggested in this instance, the suspect was not known to the intelligence agencies or law enforcement, but was potentially known to mental health services, will “facial recognition technology” be used to stop people with a history of mental health problems using public transport?
Most notably, Tom Harris and the Telegraph claim that unacceptably intrusive surveillance “measures” could “remove all risk from our daily lives” and this would provide some sort of public “benefit.” The East German Stasi made a very similar argument. What you end up with, if you allow this level of public surveillance, is a police state which benefits no one other than those who control it.
The police’s refusal to speculate is understandable. They didn’t know what had happened and were keeping an open mind while they gathered evidence. Unlike the police, who are constrained by their duty to objectively investigate and, ultimately, to find and reveal the evidence to show everyone else what happened, the rest of us supposedly still live in a free and open democratic society and are at liberty to comment and speculate. Tom Harris is among the growing number of people who keep acknowledging that we cherish the idea of a free and open society but continuously advocate the deployment of surveillance technology that will end any prospect of us living in one.
I don’t know about you, but neither Mahmood, Alexander, nor Harris—nor anyone else for that matter—rent any space in my mind. You and I can speculate and comment if we wish. Bluntly, why shouldn’t we speculate about what happened?
The definition of “speculate” is to “to guess [or imagine] possible answers to a question when you do not have enough information to be certain.” Sure, we can’t know the answers unless we have the evidence to arrive at meaningful conclusions, but a very close synonym for “speculate” is “hypothesise.” This means “to give a possible but not yet proved explanation for something.”
In other words, speculation is fundamental to deductive reasoning. Mahmood, Alexander, and Harris appear to suggest that we can’t, or should not, think critically about what may have happened unless we are told the officially approved version first. This is either unthinking babble or tyrannical. Who do they think they are to tell us what we can or cannot think?
Providing we don’t incite violence or publicly encourage any other crimes, we can “speculate” and raise any questions we like. Indeed, speculation is a crucial step in forming reasonable questions. And when we look at this reported attack, quite a few reasonable questions immediately spring to mind.
If the suspect stabbed someone in London in the early hours of November 1st, then he must have wound his way to Peterborough, approximately 100 miles north of central London, before getting on a train heading back to London. Why did he do this?
If he was in a psychotically deranged state in London, 19 hours before committing a larger scale attack near Huntingdon, what stopped him from allegedly acting out on his apparent delusions during that period? Schizophrenia episodes, if that is the suggestion, can last anything from days to many months. They do not commonly result in anyone else being harmed by the ill person.
From the suspect’s perspective, if he did attempt mass murder, he couldn’t have picked a worse place to do it. Having seemingly resisted the urge to lash out for most of the day in relatively insecure places, he allegedly decided to attack more people on the precise fifteen minute stretch of the line—Peterborough to Huntingdon—where, just a few months earlier, the police had practiced their response to an identical marauding knife attack. Coincidentally, and unusually, the March exercise scenario envisaged an attack on a train approaching Huntingdon perpetrated not by a terrorist but by a mentally unstable man.
In the March training exercise—on the same line in the same place—when the crisis actors involved raised the alarm, the train stopped. This delayed the response time. When precisely the same scenario reportedly occurred again, eight months later, the decision was reportedly taken to allow the train to continue to Huntingdon.
The whole point of training exercises is to identify and address problems. In this case, the March exercise may have informed the decision to allow the train to proceed to its unscheduled emergency stop in Huntingdon. This was perhaps wise under the circumstances.
Nonetheless, this does present us with a truly staggering string of coincidences. Not only did the attack occur precisely as envisaged in the exact same location as modelled in the training exercise but, it appears, the unusual choice of suspect profile—used in the training exercise—subsequently played out in reality just a few months later. What are the chances?
But the remarkable coincidences don’t stop there.
This decision to take the train to Huntingdon was said to have been “the right thing,” by a man interviewed by the media. Supposedly, he was just a bystander witness to the incident.
The man said:
I think the driver did the right thing. When we um, like, we pulled the emergency, um, contact to let the driver know that something is going on, he pulled into Huntingdon, which is the right thing. He didn’t stop anywhere, because anything could have happened. It was the right thing. [. . .] People who did witness it [the reported attack] have gone off to HQ, with…their statements have been taken. They are now going to the police station to give further statements.
The man the media said was a witness indicated that he didn’t witness the attack but those who did witness it were, according to him, taken to “HQ.” It also sounded as if he was tangentially referencing the March training exercise where the decision to stop the train on the tracks was found not to be the “right thing.” He seemed to have a need to convince people that not stopping when the alarm was raised, and then proceeding to Huntingdon, was “the right thing.”
Why was this so important to him?
This so-called witness may not have been a civilian. He seemed eager to emphasise difference, be it the sole difference, between the March exercise and the otherwise identical reported attack in November. Obviously, this is just speculation on my part, but I think it is reasonable.
There are other reasons that might explain why the Huntingdon response was so swift. RAF Wyton lies six miles northeast of Huntingdon. It is home to the Pathfinder building which is the largest defence intelligence centre in the UK. Speaking in parliament in May this year, the Conservative MP for Huntingdon, Ben Obese-Jecty, said:
My constituency of Huntingdon is the home of our defence intelligence capability. It is also home to the joint intelligence operation centre Europe, which is an analytics centre for the US air force, and the NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre. Wyton airfield has recently been designated as a trailblazer site, and it could be a key location at which to build defence technology. Will the Minister meet me to discuss the potential of building a technology hub in Huntingdon
Ben Obese-Jecty
It is certainly fair to say there are a lot of spooks in and around Huntingdon. The security level in the region is high, for obvious reasons. Again, while there is no cause to have any sympathy for the suspect, if he is guilty—and he is innocent until proven so—he supposedly chose to commit a mass assault in one of the most secure places in the country. His reported movements were quite strange.
If they were chaotic, due to his mental state, that only makes the coincidence of his alleged crime’s proximity to Huntingdon more remarkable.
Huntingdon sits in the so-called “silicon fen.” It is an industrial center for the development of digital technology. A recent £1.5 billion infrastructure investment program has improved transport links and the government considers the Huntingdon region a centre for growth to achieve its ludicrous net zero economy. Huntingdon is in an important and sensitive part of the country for the government.
Obese-Jecty told Sky News how incredible the police response was in Huntingdon and praised the emergency services. He said to reporters:
The first officers on the scene were actually local response officers. [. . .] They were quickly followed by armed police. That response was rapid. [. . .] The way the agencies worked together last night [the night of the attack] [. . .] was fantastic. Speaking to the Chief Constable he actually said they had been training for an Operation Plato incident only last week. So, um, it’s fresh in the memory and it’s, it’s terrible they would have to bring those skills into effect so quickly
We were told that Plato was declared and then rescinded. The Plato training a few days earlier seemingly contributed to the “rapid” armed response in Huntingdon. The only difference between a Plato “marauding terror attack” and the alleged violence of Anthony Williams, is that Williams’ suggested motivation for his suspected actions apparently differed from those of a terrorist.
It is reasonable to ask why the Plato response was stepped down. The nature of the reported emergency still seemingly required the Plato protocol, no matter what the suspected attacker’s motivations were, none of which were known—supposedly—when armed police responded. How did they judge Plato wasn’t needed?
At the same time, the Huntingdon constituency MP seemed to suggest Plato was used and possibly not rescinded, so why does the official account claim it was dropped? What difference does it make to wider public’s appreciation of what happened whether Plato was active or not?
Does the fact that there was a rehearsal to respond to exactly the same attack, just a few months earlier, present some sort of problem for the official narrative? Does this incredible coincidence becomes even more jarring if we then discover that Operation Plato exercises were underway in the region mere days before a Plato protocol response was used in the same locale. Perhaps putting some distance between all of these mounting coincidences is desired for some reason.
Obese-Jecty is probably familiar with these potential operational concerns having served in the military from 2001 to 2012, leaving with the rank of captain. He operated in Iraq and Afghanistan and subsequently entered the banking industry where he became a project manager for the US banking giant JP Morgan.
Ben Obese-Jecty proved his political credentials by campaigning against all hope in safe Labour constituencies from 2019. He was rewarded by being parachuted into the safe Conservative constituency of Huntingdon in 2023, taking his comfortable seat in 2024. Obese-Jecty is on the up-and-up.
One of Obese-Jecty’s campaigning causes is stopping knife crime, especially youth knife crime, and he has written for Conservative Home on the subject. In March 2025, just as the Huntingdon train knife attack response was being practiced by the emergency services, Obese-Jecty, MP for Huntingdon, led a parliamentary debate about reducing knife crime.
This doesn’t mean much, we are just speculating, but yet another coincidence is an interesting observation nonetheless.
Certainly Obese-Jecty’s Conservative parliamentary colleagues have been quick to use the incident to argue for more surveillance and social controls to tackle knife crime. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, the former chairman of the Conservative Bow Group policy think tank, also used the attack to call for more surveillance technology.
In his piece for the Telegraph, he wrote:
We have now all heard eyewitness accounts of this horrific act of violence and watched the footage of armed police running down the platform at Huntingdon station.
This is true. So far we have heard hearsay evidence about an attack and have seen video footage of an armed police operation. We have not seen any observable physical evidence to corroborate the narrative we have been given.
That firmer evidence is precisely what the police are investigating in order to hopefully present it at a trial. In the meantime, all we have is a story reported in the media. While we hope the reported victims all recover from their injuries, as yet we haven’t seen any physical evidence to demonstrate how they sustained them or who inflicted them.
Stories, even from reported eye witnesses, need to be verified by assessing the degree to which they are supported by the physical, forensically testable evidence.
Philp added:
In the coming days, we will hear more about exactly what happened on this grim Saturday evening and about inspiring individual acts of heroism from those on the train.
This seems highly likely. But, for many of us, these stories are no substitute for the evidence we would like to see to verify them. While such tales will doubtless be liberally plastered across the mainstream media, absent confirmatory evidence, some members of the public may well reserve the right to take them all with a pinch of salt.
Philp argued that tackling knife crime should be prioritised by allowing the police to increase stop and search. He concluded:
Rolling out live facial recognition in town centres – and train stations – will help to ensure that those who are wanted for breaking the law cannot evade justice and go on to commit further crimes. And it will help police identify and search known dangerous offenders to ensure they are not preparing to offend again.
There is a clear, discernible cross-party pattern in the publicised response to the attack. While the police have logically declined to speculate about the suspect’s motivations—until they understand them and have evidence to support their assessment—the same cannot be said for those who appear to know what the response to the reported attack should be. They seem to have quite a lot of knowledge about what happened and have consistently offered technological social control measure as the solution.
Presumably, therefore, these people are already cognisant of the suspect’s motivations and have a firm grasp of events, despite the fact that, as yet, none of us have seen any observable physical evidence showing us what happened. If they don’t have this knowledge of the evidence, then, while you and I are told we should not speculate, some of those who tell us not to speculate have offered increased surveillance as a remedy based on nothing but their own speculation. This includes politicians and the mainstream media journalists who have collectively speculated wildly with abandon.
As we have already highlighted, some of the witness accounts raise questions which, presumably, the police investigation will answer. Another reported witness was Dayna Arnold. She initially gave an interview to Cambridge Live which is a Reach-owned publication. Reach is one of the largest UK newsgroups and centralises control over numerous local news publications and national media outlets, including the Daily Mirror, Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star, WalesOnline, OK! magazine, and the Scottish Daily Record and Sunday Mail.
It is therefore not surprising that Dayna Arnold’s witness account, reported to Cambridge Live, was syndicated nationally—word-for-word in many instances. The UK state broadcaster the BBC, for example, not only reported Arnold’s account, it collated and subsequently reported many of the other media reports of her account. As if the media reports themselves were somehow convincing of something.
It was Dayna’s witness story that gave rise to the notion that the suspect was mentally unstable. This was also something Philp mentioned and it comports with the training scenario used in the March exercise. This seemingly legitimises the idea that we don’t just need mass surveillance to protect ourselves against marauding terror attacks but also against the claimed deranged violence of the severely mentally ill.
People with mental illness—which could affect any of us at any time—have lived in our families and communities throughout human history. To date, no one—with the exception of vile regimes such as the Nazis—has ever suggested that the mentally ill present some sort of societal level threat. Of course, people who are experiencing psychotic episodes are potentially a risk but overwhelmingly they are a risk to themselves, rather than anyone else. Yet the Huntingdon attack narrative is clearly suggesting we need, for the first time in our history, to accept mass surveillance to “stay safe” from vulnerable people suffering debilitating illness.
Dayna Arnold’s account is clearly central to the story we have been given about the suspected attacker. Arnold is also the senior Project Manager and a business leader for Zest Consult LTD, a digital transformation consultancy that advises clients in both the public and the private sector. Zest describes itself as:
[A] tightknit team of digital technology specialists who are passionate about CCTV systems and other operational technology, digital technology consultancy, artificial intelligence, and situation awareness. Together we apply our knowledge and expertise to a wide variety of scenarios and challenges faced by clients across multiple industries, particularly the military, security and transport sectors.
Presumably, if they investigate her statement, the police will consider Dayna Arnold’s evident conflict of financial interest as potential motivation for her making any official witness statement. This is not, in any way, to suggest that her account is false, but, as the financial conflict of interest is obvious, the police must surely appraise that fact before treating her witness statement as reliable evidence. Though it should be noted that all Huntingdon witnesses have been offered money by the government, so Dayna Arnold’s apparent financial conflict isn’t unique to her.

Consequently, at this point, while we have been led to believe that the suspect’s actions were motivated by his confused mental state, as Dayna Arnold’s witness statement appears to be the source for this claim, it cannot be assumed. While the suspect’s motivation is unclear, the motivation of those who are using the attack as an alleged justification to increase surveillance of the public is not.
The Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said that the Labour Government did not think “airport style scanners would be the way to go,” but added that “we do need to take sensible and proportionate steps to make the public transport network safe.” Evidently, this means extending the use of the AI facial recognition systems that are already operating in train stations around the UK.
Those facial recognition systems need to be trained to recognise our faces. Though some of these systems are supposedly predictive—allegedly capable of predicting what we are about to do—to identify us, and thereby screen us from accessing public spaces like train stations, our faces need to have already been submitted to the surveillance AI. The easiest way to achieve this is to get us all to adopt digital ID.
By accepting digital ID we will submit our biometric details, including machine readable images of our faces, to the AI systems run by the government’s private sector partners, such as Palantir’s Gotham. “Interoperable” AI systems like Gotham can ensure our faces are distributed system wide. We can then be recognised by AI at any train station, at any time, and our movements tracked in real time.
Coincidentally, not only has the Huntingdon attack been used to strengthen calls for increased AI facial recognition surveillance across the UK transport network, it comes just weeks after the UK government kicked-off the digital ID debate in the UK with its misleading BritCard launch.
Furthermore, the UK government has a long track record of being involved in false flag terror attacks and of supporting terrorist groups. If we are looking for means, opportunity, and motive for the attack, it is not unreasonable to speculate that the state, or elements aligned to the state, may have been behind it.
For nearly four decades, MI6 worked closely with the CIA to commit hundreds of false flag terrorist atrocities across Europe in what became known as Operation Gladio. The series of Gladio attacks and resultant conflicts, that killed thousands of innocent European civilians, were largely perpetrated by neo-Nazi terrorist and paramilitary groups and the media was then used to blame the violence on far-left groups for political and propaganda purposes. Similarly, the 2003 Stevens inquiry report revealed how British counter-terrorism units and intelligence agencies “partcipate[d] in terrorist crimes.”
Gladio terrorist Vincenzo Vinciguerra described the theory underpinning the intelligence agencies’ decades-long false flag terror campaign. It was known to Gladio terror-operatives as the “Strategy of Tension.” The objective was to terrify the public in order to convince them to accept control measures imposed by the government for their safety.
Quite clearly, the Huntingdon attack could have been a state-run operation that exploits the Strategy of Tension with the aim of convincing us all to accept digital ID and facial recognition surveillance. Perhaps the suspect was co-opted for this purpose. It could also have been the horrific and highly unusual act of a severely mentally ill individual. Though planning and executing a stratagem is not something people in a delusional state are generally capable of doing.
The only way to know is to thoroughly examine all of the evidence and we can only trust that is what the police investigation will do. But, if the police’ avenue of inquiry automatically excludes, or refuses to explore, the possibility of state orchestrated operation, especially seeing as the circumstantial evidence seems to raise that potential, there will be little reason to “trust” their findings and the unanswered question will only stoke further speculation.
Let’s hope the police investigation is indeed thorough and objective.

So he “launched the attack in carriage J of the nine carriage train”? I guess there’s a boring reason as to how that’s so, but it caught my eye..
The pattern this is fitting best is that of a psychotic reaction to psychiatric medications; combined with utterly inept policing. If there had been proper policing, Williams would have been detained in Peterborough (or various other places) on Friday evening (31st); there would have been no train stabbings; and it wouldn’t have made the national news.

Huntingdon train knife rampage suspect is charged with string of new alleged offences including attempted murder and GBH
Nov 19, 2025
A man accused of stabbing 10 people on a train has been charged with further offences linked to the incident, police have announced.
Anthony Williams is due in court this afternoon to face a further seven offences following the mass stabbing on a train which saw it diverted to Huntingdon station in Cambridgeshire earlier this month.
Williams, 32, of Langford Road, Peterborough, has been further charged with the attempted murder of a 14-year-old boy in Peterborough city centre on October 31 and attempted grievous bodily harm of a 28-year-old man in the city on the same day.
He has also been charged with the attempted murder of a 22-year-old man near Pleasure Fair Meadow Road in the city on 31 October, affray and possession of a bladed article in connection with an incident at Ritzy Barbers in Peterborough on the same day.
Wiliams has been further charged with theft of knives from an Asda in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, on October 31 and common assault of a 31-year-old man on board a train travelling between Hitchin and Biggleswade on 31 October.
British Transport Police said these were in addition to charges already authorised in relation to the major incident on the Doncaster to London Kings Cross train at Huntingdon.
Williams appeared at Peterborough Magistrates Court earlier this month charged with ten counts of attempted murder over the train rampage which left a member of rail staff critically injured.
…Given that “they” have an established track record of staging fake atrocities, at this point it is prudent to regard all such events as hoaxes until definitively proven otherwise.
Clearly part of the plan is to get us angry, fearful, and emotionally invested in these stories — that part of the plan doesn’t work if we simply dismiss them as hoaxes and ignore them.
They did the same thing with the 7/7 event – they played out an emergency scenario prior to it happening – its not a coincidence – events like this one are usually played out to allow governments to enforce stricter laws upon us, they say these liberty restricting laws are for our own safety but they are more in line with reducing our freedoms, and controlling us more.
I’m drawn to the scene in the film Minority Report – where the main character, has his eyes and face scanned on multiple occasion whilst walking through a train station, is this what awaits us I do believe in some areas its already in place.
Does the UK have guardian angels on the trains?
Top Article, as always! I intuited something similar from the ‘witness’ statements on the day… one guy coulda’ just straight-up said ‘…I witnessed the building collapse when the floors gave way as the structural steel was weakened by sheer intensity of the heat’. And when I saw Obese-Jecty’s face and heard his accent, it screamed ‘military’!
Police investigations which are ‘thorough and objective’ are usually shut down as they tend to finger grubby members of the Establishment in ways that would end their lucrative careers on the gravy train.

Yet another reason to abandon busses, trains and airplanes. Back to private cars and no problems other than a little farting!
You make your choice, you let others make theirs. Oh, but don’t expect those who don’t own cars to pay a single penny for your roads. You can pay for those….
So, the busses use different roads than private cars? Huh, who knew?
Using the UK as an example, road tax (vehicle exercise duty) brings in £7 billion a year and fuel duty brings in around £28 billion a year. So a combined £35 billion a year is robbed from drivers and only £5 billion is spent on road maintenance each year despite the pot-holes, broken road surfaces, poorly marked painted lines and badly light roads.
So car drivers already overpay and it is they and other vehicle drivers who are owed a monster refund from the general tax pot over decades which has siphoned their contributions off elsewhere.

Not to talk about the socialist bicycles that you like so much. They do also drive on asphalt.
It certainly seemed fishy from the start. You can be fairly sure that whichever ‘debate’ the mainstream media labour is a red herring – so when they start to bang on about CCTV and facial recognition, they are hiding some other factor they don’t want debated. Quite likely, the alleged perpetrator was known to the authorities, and our media are covering up for institutional failings or wickedness, therefore they confound the ignorant or gullible by suggesting the technology wasn’t up to it, and it ‘mustn’t happen again’.(‘jam tomorrow’ repackaged). Of course, we know from numerous acts of terrorism in the past that the British state very often ‘find’ the CCTV is faulty to cover up for ‘state actors’. It’s interesting in the Huntingdon case that the CCTV seems very clear and has been made public – so why is that? Perhaps that is fortunate or perhaps they are trying to scare people. Interesting that the knifeman is wearing a hood – sensible precaution for a potential attacker, except that we’re supposed to believe he might not have been in his right mind.
On August 22, 2025, Iryna (the name Iryna is derived from Eirene (Ancient Greek: Εἰρήνη), an ancient Greek goddess, personification of peace) Zarutska was fatally stabbed on a Lynx Blue Line train in Charlotte, North Carolina.
She was 23 years old, a Ukrainian refugee, and was attacked from behind while seated on the train at the East/West Boulevard station.
The suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, has been charged with first-degree murder and committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system.
Decarlos Brown Jr. was indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday, Oct. 22,
The killing prompted a national debate about crime and transit security, and led to the passage of “Iryna’s Law” in North Carolina, which introduced various criminal law reforms.
Decarlos Brown Jr.’s case highlights NC’s rising demand for court-ordered mental health evaluations and capacity restoration treatment. meaning “indefinite hospital sentence” refers to a court-ordered commitment to a mental health facility for an unspecified period”
The Huntingdon Train Attack: not so long after.

If lawyers get paid by the number of words they spout, they are doing well.
Lawyers are like beavers, they build dams, take up all the fish and leave the mesh to be cleaned up and reinstated by the surrounding society.
Beavers happy to the biggest contributors to underground aquifers in the history of the planet….something which the modern US citizenry exploit for as long as they don’t drain them dry….
So you answer a question about lawyers with a description about the good side of beavers.
Have you noticed the only group here on earth who find their drinking water in a drilling hole 25m deep down in the earth, a so called water pocket, are Western Leftists? No other living group are so dumb.

The woke Left has contributed to this kind of doubts by under reporting (knife) violence coming from the many young men that flooded into the EU coming from Africa and Middle East. Not talking about Buddhists or Hindus here.The perp as victim is as tired a scenario as the ‘refugee’ who burns his passport before entering the best paying host country in Europe. Keep voting like hypnotized sheep for the local enablers. Keep voting for women just because they are women, or lairs because they look like Ken dolls.
Anyway, good job of destroying the EU from the inside; it is now Asia’s turn.
I note the rehearsal was called operation Plato which brings to mind the story of Plato’s cave in which the inhabitants of the cave entranced by the shadow play on the walls of the cave refuse to believe there is a world outside the cave when others tell them about it; they refuse to look and continue watching and believing in the shadows projected onto the wall in front of them. How appropriate. Is there any so-called ”terror” event that was not proceeded by a rehearsal or where the rehearsal was running (coincidentally of course) concurrently?
We need a more realistic training exercise!
The sprinkle of bullshit on top of psyop doesn’t make it any more valid or true.
In typical Iain fashion, we have alternative woke right MSM plus version of events.
No mention of the date, no mention of the numbers, no mention of period.
Just plain old regurgitatism, IT did happen narrative.
Lets look at the date, Samhain, Halloween.
the alleged killer stabber was screaming “devil“ (like that happens)
the place was called HUNTing-ton
are you kidding me?? so a suppose expert in exposing MSM cant see the stupidity in the story within the first paragraph.
then add the 11 stabbed (11 was in most of the mainstream papers the following morning with ”DEVIL” in big scary wording)
The train carriage names ”J” (10) the UK trains mainly use numbers and every carriage has CCTV camera or 5.
No real crime scene just flashing lights and actors in hazmat suits.
It has the hallmarks of a stage, so fake the charlie kirk seemed a good production compared to this load of tosh.
People appearing on MSM talking about there heroic story 3 days after it happened of how they captured a stabber does not make it real.
START WITH DID NOT HAPPEN!
TV PRODUCTION OF A Cheapest HORROR MOVIE GIVEN TO
THE MSM AND IAIN’S LOT THE MSM+ WOKE RIGHT RED PILL to the moan about migrants black people or needing extra security to keep everyone safe from a cheesy theater production mainly promoted by MSM + as it was real
WHEN IT WAS FAKE.
The new fake intelligence security HQ of HUNTing-ton!
so Salisbury is no longer HQ?
what about GCHQ Cheltenham (your mates Bullshit brian and Alex old jobs)
what about HQ Albert Square in the heart of Manchester,
what about plymouth?
or Mi5 London is that not HQ no more.?
We deserve better comments.
They seem to cause a stir so there a million times better than your woke right comments johnny come lately.
You dont say anything.
🤪
You don’t have everything in one place, it makes it easier to destroy if you do that.
You forgot to add Fylingdales to your list, the recruitment centres in the ‘top Universities’.
What about this: an attractive mid twenties horror film actress is photographed lying on the railway seat with a rope around her neck while her film producer boyfriend is stopped at the airport with a packet of Qualudes and a ‘Britains got Talent’ entrant, who it turns out is the young cousin of the knife wielding maniac who claims to Police that he is being telepathically controlled by the maggots that ate Hitlers brain. In point of actual fact, the secret Police Telepath Suppression Squad had been training for precisely this exact scenario for weeks using weejee boards and Tarot cards and arrived at the scene disguised as Nuns and carrying umbrellas doused with nerve toxin a full ten minutes before the crime occurred. Should I send you the storyboards?
What do you mean “start with did not happen”? Certainly not!
Start with ‘we don’t have any evidence showing what happened.’ Therefore, we don’t know if it happened or not. We can’t assume it didn’t any more than we can assume it did. The only matters of any consequence will be revealed by the evidence, which we don’t have.
You accuse me of being MSM-lite yet it is you who is doing exactly what the MSM does: declaring certainty absent any consideration of the evidence, or lack of it.
As for the numerology aspects, which I know little about and leave to the more esoterically minded, in this case, the alleged attack supposedly occurred on 1st of November, not Halloween.
The Day of the Dead is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6,
The Day of the Dead in the UK is called halloween.
It is stolen from mexico and old celebration date called Samhain, which is also the above.
Never the less it was so cheap a production, you need to go back to
conspiracy school.
November 1st is All Saints’ Day. The night before was called All Hallows’ Eve shortened to Halloween. Your “Day of the Dead” corresponds to All Saints’ Day which is not called Halloween in the UK or anywhere else.
It is a pure Mexico thing.
Their ancient culture of head chopping people in a sacrifice to please the sun God to make it rain, made many ghosts to walk again i their society.
So in order to soften up these ghosts a little, they have a yearly carnival party to their honour.
Would you regard grown people pretending to eat human flesh and blood as mentally ill?
Looks like Lu has a contender !
In the Scriptures it is symbolic.
Some religions hereof the Catholics have taking this literally like you, and drink wine and eat some biscuit to pretend some cannibalism.
Not my problem, not Christ’s problem, but a problem for organised religions. Your repeated claim dismissed.
Its is a spiritual enactment of the last supper before Christ’s crucifixion to atone for the sins of man and the chance of redemption for mankind !
Owe look groovy George who was going to vote right at the last election to teach the left a lesson.!

Ah, as suspected, “Hail” is indeed our little adolescent fumer who has been here a long time and clocking what everyone is doing. Keeping tabs.
I was never under any impression that voting right would teach anyone anything. It’s simply that by that time, the “left” were “righter than the right” – if you insist on maintaining that antediluvian nomenclature.
You clearly need some guidance on dates since you get them so spectacularly wrong.
As Sartre said:
Let’s not forget the Hollywood script immediately- the main hero, wearing blue yellow Masonic colours on date 3/11 33 said the man had a knife the. Proceeded to take his sword… sword!!! They left that in as they know the spell has been cast, the shadows are reality in the cave ( Plato) I watched the itv clip. At 22 mins a large G appears.

“We the people/sheeple wants things to get shitty”. Fixed.
With regard to Southport, given that the response (LARP “riots”; torched police van; “far-right thuggery” narrative) had all been pre-arranged, it can be assumed that the “stabbing” incident was a planned event. There are two main alternatives. My guess is that it was entirely fake; that is, none of it happened. However, it’s possible that real stabbings were carried out by a black-ops professional. Then a swap was made with drugged-up Rudakubana. Regardless of which one, Rudakubana was selected as a patsy BECAUSE he was already well-known to the terrorism police and the Tavistockian mind-warpers.
With regard to Peterborough, given that on Friday evening it was known to police that a psychotic, knife-wielding man was roaming round the city, the appropriate response would have been to circulate the very clear image so as to identify him. It’s quite likely that he would be recognised by at least a few police officers. Moreover, after he returned to the barbers shop in the morning, a general call should have been put out. So the general conclusion is that the police fucked up big time and are too busy with the two-tier war against the indigenous working class to be bothered with their traditional job. I’m not sure how that narrative fits into any pre-arranged plan.

HOTELS EXPOSED: Under Cover Footage From Asylum Accommodation
TalkTV
Nov 3, 2025
Isabel Oakeshott joins Kevin O’Sullivan to discuss her latest exclusive interview.
Former migrant hotel manager and citizen journalist Adam, 32, speaks out after being arrested by ten riot police over an alleged burglary of a ’77p’ bowl of pasta. He says the dramatic raid came weeks after he posted undercover footage from inside asylum hotels, accusing authorities of trying to silence whistleblowers.
If Williams was not known to any Authority, its because the Authorities access to data and data collection is thin.
Obama killed 9 innocent civilians out of 10 suspected terrorists on his weekly signed death list only because of lack of data collection and thin data.
Meaning YOU who are against personal data collection are guilty in the killing of all these innocent people………and especially killing of children. Shame on you!

Once: “Learn to suffer without complaining.”

The latter gives more money than the first obsolete gullible behaviour character.
why should our freedom to communicate be subject to the proviso that “we don’t incite violence or publicly encourage any other crimes”? that kind of talk may be repugnant to us morally, or on a purely practical level unconstructive and counterproductive, but how does that justify making someone’s comments Verboten? is the fear really that a blog post from some random irate citizen by virtue of the Svengali-like powers of social media will trigger a race riot, because the readers of the blog have confused its author’s blathering with a divine commandment? I’m sick of this kind of spineless defense of free speech, censorship is atrocious EXCEPT OF COURSE in the case of X, Y or Z which are OBVIOUSLY beyond the pale etc
anyway it’s not as if the warmongering MSM don’t spew noxious exhortations in support of mass murder 24/7, and moreover from the mouths of prominent figures who do actually exert influence on a certain segment of public opinion, having been invested with the trappings of authority by the vile elite
In this era heading to full totalitarianism, anyone who flies off the handle at any implication of inferiority gets his day in court or at the police station. You cannot even say autistic, deaf or blind, let alone dumb, barbaric or brutal.
Do you think being an agent of chaos and saying whatever you want, no matter what harm it might cause, is an act of bravery? Why would you write or say something that is intended to cause harm and give the authorities a reason to prosecute you? Why would you emulated the rhetorical violence and hate spewed out by the mainstream media and what makes you think any kind of “freedom,” including free speech, can be exercised without observing your responsibility not to cause harm?
If it’s a crime to ‘incite violence or publicly encourage any other crimes’, then the entire Daily Jewishgraph should be arrested because that’s all they do each and every day, where Russophobia and kill all the Gazans is concerned.

Speculate should have got word of the year man !
Speculation: Why havent The Authorities framed it as a (bad) case of “bird-flu”.
(Certainly its ‘symptoms’ distinguish it from ‘covid’)
Surveillance cameras every two meters will not stop a psychopath _ _ _ _ hang on, that’s wrong.
If we place surveillance cameras and audio in the offices, boardrooms, and private clubs of the ruling psychos and broadcast in real time, we might _ _ _
You are spot on. We have heard leaks taken from mikes not switched off before/after an interview/speech. Powered micro-drones can sit patiently in all sorts of dark corners, recording/transmitting sound/video when activated by human activity. This tech. is at least a decade old. To beat censorship, the news should go onto multiple outlets, including foreign ones.
Yes. Their slimy hypocrisy sometimes slips out, and boy, does the shit hit the fan.
If you think that audio bugs haven’t been placed all over the place, including in public buildings, as part of ‘construction contracts’, you’re a bit behind the curve.

How about avoiding the cities in the first place?
Can always go feral, but I get your point.
They have not arrived at smell meters. Believe me, they will arrive too.
I speculate that this man was on SSRI antidepressant drugs, perhaps even on other drugs into the mix.
From the British Medical Journal:
Antidepressants increase the risk of suicide, violence and homicide at all ages
It can no longer be doubted that antidepressants are dangerous and can cause suicide and homicide at any age (5-7). It is absurd to use drugs for depression that increase the risk of suicide and homicide when we know that cognitive behavioural therapy can halve the risk of suicide in patients who have been admitted after a suicide attempt (8) and when psychotherapy does not increase the risk of murder.
And the speculation about, I’ll say it out loud, a defence intelligence operation in a real-life public setting also makes sense. Who knows, the perp may even have been subjected to mind-control torture by said “services”. A training exercise surrounding this kind of scenario a short time prior was not, I speculate, a co-incidence. It was an incidence, one of many similar incidences across the world. In my book, coincidences are as rare as stardust sprinkles on my boots.
Was there even a hint by Iain Davis that this incidence was merely a media narrative to push the Agenda forward, and did not take place in real life?
Speculation: Did The Authorities rule it wasnt ‘A Terrorist Attack’ because
the perp wasnt Moslem / Arab ?
Or Russians.
I don’t think it took place.Leaving the pub Tuesday night to get the train home a zombie said to me careful on the way home you don’t know who’s on that train.He is correct of course I didn’t know anyone on the train but shit man ? It works whatever it is they do.
It does generally work. The train tends to take one home from the pub regardless of what’s in the news. Such is the big scheme of things. Tried and tested
And they give out prescriptions like toilet paper.
Most of the meds for the mind achieve nothing. If not addictive, they make matters worse. See if you can top this:

Could that be misdirection? Could it be that mass shootings are psyops meant to create different kinds of fear, and their patsies just happen to be on anti-depressants, because it is easier to hypmotize people on anti-depressants.
Makes you wonder about the ‘assassination’ of that rabble rouser, John Lennon.
The best solution to depression is to have nothing to do with medics and to go to another country, have three square meals a day, regular outdoor exercise and a satisfying social life with a few empathic companions.
Yay, except maybe for the three square meals a day…
“Carriage J of a 9-carriage train” does not compute. Are the carriages given random letters? Do they miss out I because it looks like 1 and might confuse the carriage letter recognition cameras?

Medication-induced violence others towards
No authors listed
PMID: 25121148
June 2014
Abstract
Violent behaviour towards others is occasionally caused by drug therapy, through sometimes complex and often poorly understood mechanisms. The consequences described in detailed case reports can be serious, including homicide. Many neuropsychotropic drugs can induce violent behaviour: smoking cessation drugs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, amphetamines, benzodiazepines and dopamine agonists. Some drugs not used as psychotropic agents have also been implicated, for example: corticosteroids; anti-infective drugs such as mefloquine, efavirenz, atazanavir, ribavirin and alfa interferons; testosterone; and the asthma drug montelukast. The frequency of these adverse effects cannot be reliably assessed using the data available. Only certain reports mention a previous behaviour disorder. In practice, it is helpful to inform patients if the drugs they are taking can provoke violent behaviour. It is advisable to ask these patients about any behavioural changes and to encourage them to inform members of their family or carers, to ensure that these changes are identified and their consequences averted. In addition, remind them that alcohol increases the risk.

Nov 3, 2025
This is the moment a man believed to be the Huntingdon train attack suspect stormed into a Peterborough barber shop with a knife – as police investigate whether he stabbed a 14-year-old boy minutes before.
Caption: CCTV footage exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail allegedly shows a knifeman entering Ritzy Barbers in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, on Friday
Cannot believe they didn’t sweep up before the shoot.Boys protecting himself with a cape.
Yep I missed that. I may update the piece accordingly on my substack. Couple of questions spring to mind. Why hasn’t he been charged with the stabbing of the teenager, if that is relevant, and why is his knife bloodless if he did?
Note how the story in the Mail supports narrative that an automated facial recognition system could have stopped the attack.
Since Williams is already in custody, there’s no point in charging for the purpose of arresting and detaining. To charge for the purpose of prosecution, they would have to conduct a line-up or something similar to confirm the identification. Also, given the amount of stabbings, it’s possible that the incidents are unrelated.
Firstly, it’s possible that the stabbing wasn’t particularly serious. Secondly, the knife had been placed in the bag; and any blood could have been wiped off in the process.
There’s a well-funded propaganda operation pushing digital everything which is ready to pounce on any and every event. It doesn’t mean they’ve planned and executed those events.
Yep all these things are possible, but equally that doesn’t obviate the need to ask the questions. Hopefully investigators will ask and find the answers. What is certain is the consistent exploitation of these events to support a surveillance and control narrative. This seems like motive to me. That doesn’t mean these events are all theatre but any investigation that doesn’t recognise who has motive, especially if they have means and opportunity, cannot be objective.
looks so real.
Here is the best and most detailed video I have found of the CCTV footage.
These guys moved like greyhounds before the door was fully open.
The alleged perp was hanging around for a while outside, so were the staff and customers watching him? Or was it all a scripted act? Their faces do look like they were scared.
It has to be slown down to 0.5 speed to see the facial expressions.
The shop front and door are made of tinted glass. Note that it’s possible to see the car. I would presume that the guy in the grey gilet was watching Williams while he was outside and saw him pull the knife from the bag. Hence, gilet guy reacted before Williams even put his hand on the door.

Arent you Poms allowed to carry Smartphones on the trains with youse ?
It would’ve been good if some or all the attacked had snapped photos – or
videos – to post on FB etc… Or dont youse do FB, either ?
Everyone here in the Australian Colony – or nearly everyone – has a
Smartphone, and dont leave home without them…
‘Society of The Speculator’ by Guy Debord’s Twin…
Yes, filming an incident is usually a higher priority than calling emergency services.
Speculation: How did the train driver know what had happened, that made him decide to ignore emergency braking alert ?
Speculating that it was the same driver who stopped in the exercise, but was told not to this time around?
No help if the thug first relieves you of the phone. Am I missing something?
If the first thing you think about in such circumstances is to start filming you’re either very stupid or somewhat psychopathic. It’s an odd comment to make when the article is speculating on the involvement of government in an attack being used to further government plans for total surveillance in a culture of zero trust where pre crime is being used as a reason to usurp the rights and privacy of everyone and to control everyone
Excellent analysis Ian, when I travelled to China in 2024 they had airport style security for the train stations, everything gets put through. Can’t buy cutlery and travel on the trains there.
It’s incredibly wasteful, the security state becomes a cash cow for a few, without making any meaningful difference to our safety. Oppression of the people may have the opposite effect, driving people crazy.
Very interesting. I was struck by eyewitness Amira Ostalski, she certainly made full use of her 15 minutes of fame.
