Visor Consultants' 'simultaneous bombs' rehearsal on 7 July 2005
Update 07/02/08: J7 Exclusive Report: Peter Power's CV Fakery - 7/7 terror rehearsal man and regular BBC 'terror' consultant was suspended from Dorset Police pending an internal inquiry that resulted in a file being sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions. Full story here.
On the afternoon and evening of 7th July 2005,
information came to light about a private company running a terror
rehearsal operation in London at the time that real explosions were
reported to have occurred on the transport network. These revelations
came not from an anonymous source but instead from the Managing Director
of the private firm running the terror rehearsal operation. The private
firm is Visor Consultants and the Managing Director in question is
Peter Power. For over three years, the client for whom the terror
rehearsal was being organised was not known. Until, that is, 30 September 2008, and more completely on 3 October 2008 (see the comment this J7 blog post),
when Peter Power opted to make this information available to the
general public. [Please see the section of this document entitled How much more do we know now? for further detail.]

Peter Power's 7/7 Terror Interviews
On and after 7/7, Peter Power gave a number of
interviews in which he referred to the terror exercise he was running on
the morning of 7th July. Power has since regularly appeared on TV and
radio interviews as an independent security expert with no special
connection to the events of 7 July 2005, even a year later when called on to discuss the incidents that occurred.
J7 is reproducing these interviews here so you
can judge for yourself quite what should be made of such a bizarre and
unlikely coincidence of events.
Peter Power on Radio 5 Live's Drivetime
The first of Mr Power's interviews was given on
the afternoon of 7th July 2005, presumably after Mr Power had finished
orchestrating his private terror rehearsal, when he appeared on BBC
Radio 5 Live's Drivetime programme. Below is a transcript from the Radio
5 Live programme, complete with a link to a recording of the interview:
POWER: ...at half-past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for, er, over, a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing upright!
PETER ALLEN: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?
POWER: Precisely, and it was, er, about half-past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision, 'this is the real one' and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from 'slow time' to 'quick time' thinking and so on.
Listen to Peter Power's Radio 5 Live Drivetime Interview
Note how Power refers to 'simultaneous bombs going off'.
Note also that it wasn't until 9th July 2005, two days after the
incidents, that it was revealed the explosions on the underground were
'almost simultaneous'. Power's fictional scenario, as explained by the
man himself on the day, bears a closer resemblance to the eventual
story of 7/7 than it does to the actual story that had been presented to
the public by the police and authorities at the time of his interview.
Only ex-Mossad Chief, Efraim Halevi who wrote in the Jerusalem Post on 7th July 2005 of "the multiple, simultaneous explosions that took place today on the London transportation system" with "near pefect execution"
was able to demonstrate the same level of 'insight' as Mr Power. Note:
The original article is no longer available on the Jerusalem Post web
site although copies can be found on the web.
Peter Power on ITV News: 7/7 Vision at 20:20
A short while after his appearance on BBC Radio,
at 20:20 on 7/7, Peter Power gave a television interview to ITV news
which revealed a little more about the nature of the operation as well
as hinting at the sort of organisations for whom the operation might
have been organised:
POWER: Today we were running an exercise for a company - bearing in mind I'm now in the private sector - and we sat everybody down, in the city - 1,000 people involved in the whole organisation - but the crisis team. And the most peculiar thing was, we based our scenario on the simultaneous attacks on an underground and mainline station. So we had to suddenly switch an exercise from 'fictional' to 'real'. And one of the first things is, get that bureau number, when you have a list of people missing, tell them. And it took a long time -
INTERVIEWER: Just to get this right, you were actually working today on an exercise that envisioned virtually this scenario?
POWER: Er, almost precisely. I was up to 2 oclock this morning, because it's our job, my own company. Visor Consultants, we specialise in helping people to get their crisis management response. How do you jump from 'slow time' thinking to 'quick time' doing? And we chose a scenario - with their assistance - which is based on a terrorist attack because they're very close to, er, a property occupied by Jewish businessmen, they're in the city, and there are more American banks in the city than there are in the whole of New York - a logical thing to do. And it, I've still got the hair....

Peter Power on the Canadian Broadcasting Service
In the days after 7th July, rather than face questioning about his role, in conjunction with a 'company of over a thousand people' on the day that 56 were killed on London transport, Power flew to Toronto for the 15th World Conference on Disaster Management.
Power appeared on a discussion panel for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's news discussion programme CBC News: Sunday, in which the host remarked upon the 'extraordinary' coincidence of Power's rehearsal scenario:
Evan Solomon: We've heard something quite extraordinary - could be a coincidence or not - that your firm, on the very day that the bombs went off in London, were running an exercise simulating three bombs going off, in the very same tube stations that they went off. How did this happen? Coincidence, or were you acting on information that you knew?
Peter Power: I don't think you could say that we had some special insight into the terrorist network, otherwise I would be under arrest myself. The truth of it is -
Solomon: But it is a coincidence.
Power: It's a coincidence, and it's a spooky coincidence. Our scenario was very similar - it wasn't totally identical, but it was based on bombs going off, to the time, the locations, all this sort of stuff. But it wasn't an accident, in the sense that London has a history of bombs, and the reason why our emergency services did so well, and prepared probably better than any other city in the world, sadly they have to be. So it wasn't exactly rocket science or totally out of the pale to come up with that scenario unusual though it be to stop the exercise and go into real time, and it worked very well, although there was a few seconds when the audience didn't realise whether it was real or not.
Power went on to tell delegates at the disaster management conference that Canadians needed to open their eyes, advising:
"You can't just lay back and say, 'Well it's cozy, we've been lucky. We're just nice guys. It won't happen to us. Sorry. The alarm bell is ringing now. When it happens, you don't want to say, 'well that was a wake-up call'.n
'Mock Broadcasts' and the 7/7 terror rehearsal
On 8th July 2005, the day after the death and
destruction in London, an interview with Peter Power appeared on page 5
of the Manchester Evening News in which Mr Power revealed that, not only
had he coincidentally been running a terror rehearsal 'based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened' on 7th July, he had also organised a series of 'mock broadcasts'
for the rehearsal operation that were apparently so realistic those
participating in the exercise became confused about what was real and
what was not:
Mr Power said: "I was an inspector at the time of the King's Cross fire and was involved in co-ordinating the operation.
"After leaving the Met, I set up my own crisis managment consultancy. Yesterday we were actually in the City working on an exercise involving mock broadcasts when it happened for real.
" When news bulletins started coming on, people began to say how realistic our exercise was - not realising there was an attack.We then became involved in a real crisis which we had to manage for the company."
Mr Power added: "During the exercise we were working on yesterday, we were looking at a situation where there had been bombs at key London transport locations - although we weren't specifically looking at a scenario where there had been a bomb on a bus.
"It's a standard exercise and briefing that we carry out."
Indeed, rehearsing attacks on public transport
networks -- now seemingly known by their Americanised name of 'transit
systems' -- are fairly commonplace in the world of State and Corporate
terror exercises. On 8th January 2006, the government of Singapore
conducted their own "standard exercise and briefing" called Operation
Northstar V, a multi-agency civil emergency exercise:
Exercise Northstar V is the largest scale exercise we have conducted so far. We simulated a scenario with multiple bomb explosions and a chemical agent release in 4 MRT stations and 1 bus interchange, to stretch ourselves and test our capabilities.The focus of the exercise today (8 Jan 2006) is to test our men in uniform and 20 other agencies. We will learn from this exercise, and refine our plans and operations.....Singaporeans should think about what to do to protect themselves and their families. Taking ownership to learn the drills, and knowing what to do in an emergency is one of the best forms of protection.For example, they can take part in exercises such as the Emergency Preparedness Days organized by the constituencies. The residents of Pasir Ris, for instance, have exercised the scenario of a bomb incident and chemical attack in a shopping mall in Pasir Ris last year.Source: Singapore Logon
A list of answers to Frequently Asked Questions
about Operation Northstar V was produced from which the following quotes
are taken, all of which have direct parallels with the events of 7/7:
FAQ to Exercise NorthStar V....Q3. What is the exercise scenario?A: The scenario for the exercise is similar to that of the London Bombings on 7 July 05 that is near-simultaneous bomb blasts in the trains at the station platform and in the trains traveling into the tunnel. In addition, a new scenario has been introduced that is the release of chemical agents at the platform at one of the stations.....Q5. Will bus and train services be disrupted during the exercise and what is the duration of such disruption?A: While the exercise is confined to only 4 train stations operated by both SBS Transit and SMRT Corporation however due to the interconnected nature of the train network, temporarily disruption of train services will affect a total of 13 train stations. The 13 stations will be closed throughout the duration of the exercise that is from 6.25am to 9.30am.Q6. Why is there a need to disrupt train services during the exercise?A: Simulations in the form of thunderflashes, smoke and fire simulators will be used to create simultaneous bomb attacks by terrorists so as to inject a realistic exercise scenario. Apart from dummy mannequins, ‘live’ casualties will also be deployed at stations’ platform and in the trains to portray injured commuters and fatalities. Trains will also be stalled within the tunnel and commuters will be evacuated through the tunnel to the nearest train station. To facilitate such elaborate scenario and the conduct of the large-scale exercise, there is a need to temporarily disrupt train services and close 13 train stations.Q7. Will commuters who are caught in the exercise be trapped for a long period of time in the stalled train or in the train tunnel?A: Upon the commencement of the exercise, no commuters will be trapped in the stations, trains or tunnels. All commuters who are in the ‘exercised’ trains and at the stations’ platform will immediately be guided and evacuated out of the stations. For commuters who are in the ‘exercised’ train/s that are stalled in the tunnel, they will also be immediately guided to evacuate from the tunnel to the nearest train station.As the safety of the commuters is critical to the conduct of the exercise, personnel from the SCDF and staff from SBS Transit and SMRT Corporation will be at hand to guide the commuters in the evacuation process and direct them to the alternative mode of transportation i.e the shuttle bus services. Special attention will also be given to pregnant ladies, the elderly, young children and those who are in need of assistance during the evacuation process.Q8. Are the exercise sites accessible to members of the public?A: While the commuters in transit are participating in the exercise as evacuees, the Police will be exercising strict cordon enforcement at the 4 x train stations/exercise sites (Dhobby Ghaut, Toa Payoh, Raffles Place and Marina Bay stations). Hence, members of the public who are outside these exercised train stations will not be allowed access into the stations.Source: Singapore Logon
Taking another look at Peter Power's original Radio 5 Live announcement on 7/7:
POWER: ...at half-past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for, er, over, a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing upright!
Operation Northstar V was twice the size of Peter
Power's London efforts on 7/7. Note the lengths gone to ensure that the
exercise is as realistic as possible for its unwitting participants:
3. During the exercise which involved over 2,000 personnel; thunderflashes, smoke and fire simulators were used. About 500 simulated casualties with injuries were also deployed to test emergency rescuers at the scene. To further invoke a sense of realism, the date, time and exact details of the exercise were not released until 15 minutes before the exercise, after which announcements on the exercise were carried by local broadcast media. This was a deliberate move to better gauge and test the exercise participants, including the train commuters who were either in the trains or MRT stations when the exercise started.Source: Singapore Web
Advice on conducting 'live' exercises in the UK
suggests the inclusion of walking wounded and casualties to 'add to the
realism', and is recommended to companies testing their emergency plans
by the London Resilience website:
Live exercises. Live exercises range from a small scale test of one component of the response, like evacuation, through to a full scale test of the whole organisation to an incident. Live exercises provide the best means of confirming the satisfactory operation of emergency communications, and the use of 'casualties' can add to the realism. Live exercises provide the only means for fully testing the crucial arrangements for handling the media
The BBC web site even quotes Roland Murphy of London Underground claiming of a similar rehearsal exercise at Bank station, "All participants are unaware of the 'disaster' until the exercise starts, so they treat it as real as possible."
Emergency exercise on Underground
Last Updated: Sunday, 12 June, 2005, 11:31 GMT 12:31 UK
London's emergency services are being called into action for a training exercise on the underground.The live emergency exercise will take place at Tower Hill Tube station on the District Line on Sunday.The station is already closed due to major track replacement work between Whitechapel and Earl's Court.Roland Murphy, from London Underground, said good safety procedures are in place "but we can always build and improve upon them."He added: "All participants are unaware of the 'disaster' until the exercise starts, so they treat it as real as possible."London Underground is legally required to hold an emergency exercise on the network every year.A police cordon will be erected around the station and Trinity Square, Savage Gardens, Wakefield Gardens and Coopers Row will be closed for most of the daySource: BBC News
In a BBC News report following the Bank station
exercise Linda Smith of the Fire Brigades Union told BBC London of the
controlled conditions under which the exercise was carried out:
"The cadets used as victims had been fully briefed and of course ordinary members of the public wouldn't have known what was going on, " she said."It was done on a Sunday, the area was cordoned off, there were no members of the public allowed even on the footpaths around the area.Source: BBC News
It is possible that Visor's consultants took the
experiences and 'lessons learned' from 7/7 to assist in the live
rehearsals in Singapore, involving bombs on trains and a bus, according
to Visor Consultants' own web site:
In addition to the directors, we have specialist consultants who are regularly engaged on projects, ranging from running workshops in Singapore to helping an energy supplier in the UK to run a successful crisis management test. Seven of our key consultants are Chris Needham-Bennett, Dr. Anne Eyre, Ian Ross, Tom Pine, Kathryn Holloway, Brian Hiscutt and David Tredrea.Source: Visor Consultants
Peter Power's Response to Initial Inquiries
Perhaps unsurprisingly, news of a terror
rehearsal based on simultaneous bombs going off at precisely the
stations they did caused more than a little consternation among those
members of the public and alternative media who knew of its existence.
So great was the deluge of queries and questions about the nature of the
exercise that Peter Power issued the following, single, generic
response:
Thank you for your message. Given the volume of emails about events on 7 July and a commonly expressed misguided belief that our exercise revealed prescient behaviour, or was somehow a conspiracy (noting that several websites interpreted our work that day in an inaccurate / naive / ignorant / hostile manner) it has been decided to issue a single email response as follows:It is confirmed that a short number of 'walk through' scenarios planed [sic] well in advance had commenced that morning for a private company in London (as part of a wider project that remains confidential) and that two scenarios related directly to terrorist bombs at the same time as the ones that actually detonated with such tragic results. One scenario in particular, was very similar to real time events.However, anyone with knowledge about such ongoing threats to our capital city will be aware that (a) the emergency services have already practiced several of their own exercises based on bombs in the underground system (also reported by the main news channels) and (b) a few months ago the BBC broadcast a similar documentary on the same theme, although with much worse consequences. It is hardly surprising therefore, that we chose a feasible scenario - but the timing and script was nonetheless, a little disconcerting.In short, our exercise (which involved just a few people as crisis managers actually responding to a simulated series of activities involving, on paper, 1000 staff) quickly became the real thing and the players that morning responded very well indeed to the sudden reality of events.Beyond this no further comment will be made and based on the extraordinary number of messages from ill informed people, no replies will henceforth be given to anyone unable to demonstrate a bona fide reason for asking (e.g. accredited journalist / academic).Peter Power
Despite running a terror rehearsal on 7th July
2005, Peter Power has repeatedly been used as an independent expert on
terrorism, sitting in judgement on such things as the execution of Jean
Charles de Menezes at Stockwell tube station as well the official
reports which have been released about the events of 7th July 2005. In
each instance, Power is presented as a someone who has no special
connection with the events of 7/7, nor has he been questioned further
about the exact nature and scope of the rehearsal operation he was
running, not even about the "One scenario in particular" which "was very similar to real time events."
Can it possibly be that no accredited journalist
or academic has dared approach Peter Power about his operation that day,
or the 'wider project' of which it was a part? If the complete lack of
information about the nature of the exercise is anything to go by, it
would appear not, save for one timid article on the Channel 4 News web
site which attempted to distract from the potential significance of the
coincidence.
Peter Power Terror Rehearsal 'de-bunked' by Channel 4 News
While the curious coincidence the Visor
Consultant's terror drill on the day of 7th July 2005 received very
little in the way of follow-up media coverage, aside from the occasional
passing mention in the days that followed, Channel 4 News published an
article on 17th July 2005 in which, rather than set about finding out
more about the nature of the operation in which Power was involved,
journalist JJ King went to great lengths to explain how, some time after
the event, presumably after the hairs on the back of Mr Power's neck
were no longer standing upright, Power changed his line of, "running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people" that had so alarmed everyone to, "involving, on paper, 1000 staff".
According to the article's author, JJ King, this
minor revision by Power of his original statement is sufficient reason
to ignore Power's original statement. King further contends that because
such rehearsal operations are common-place, there is nothing unusual
about such a rehearsal running at the same time as a real attack. In
instances where the rehearsal and real-time events didn't match so
closely, this might be true. Significantly, perhaps, one other notable
occasion where coordinated attack rehearsals were running at the same
time as a real attack happens to be the day of 11th September 2001 when a
number of wargame exercises involving simulated attacks on the World
Trade Center featured.
Interestingly, King also notes the observations of the one of the CBC show's associate producers:
JJ King concludes his article with:Colman Jones, an Associate Producer on CBC: Sunday, claimed in his blog that, while escorting participants from the building, he enquired of Power 'why there had not been more media coverage of this.' 'They were trying to keep it quiet,' Power purportedly responded, with what Jones called 'a knowing smile.'
'When you hear hooves, think horses, not zebras,' goes the often-quoted popularisation of Occam's Razor.In the absence of journalistic nous, bloggers would do well to stick by it.
In the face of investigative journalists that
have repeatedly failed to report, or even investigate, the huge number
of errors and inconsistencies in the official Home Office report, and
the many stories willfully spun by the media about the events of July
7th, J7 contends that bloggers and the general public would do well to
stick by something other than the 'journalistic nous' which has
consistently and repeatedly failed them to date.
Peter Power's mainstream media terror operations
16th May, 2004: Panorama London Under Attack
"The Home Secretary has said the attacks bear the hallmark of Al-Qaeda..."Source: Panorama, London Under Attack7th July, 2005: Real worldForeign Secretary Jack Straw said the coordinated blasts in trains and a bus bore "the hallmarks of an al Qaeda-related attack"Source: Reuters
Peter Power claimed of his 7th July terror rehearsal, in the Manchester Evening News, "It's a standard exercise and briefing that we carry out." Indeed, In fact, Peter Power had previous experience of rehearsing bombs on the Underground for he was one of a small but select panel of advisors that helped create the BBC's Panorama programme London Under Attack
in May 2004, over a year before the events of July 2005. A partial copy
of the Panorama London Under Attack programme can be downloaded here.
The panel also included the former British Army
and British Intelligence operative, Crispin Black, one of the first
people to publish a book about the London bombings, in which he wrote:
We need an official inquiry - now. Not a whitewash inquiry like Lord Hutton's. Or a punch-pulling inquiry like Lord Butler's. But an inquiry run by plain Mr or Mrs somebody."
Crispin Black's statement - in part - provided
some of the impetus behind the growing group of plain Mr or Mrs
Somebodies that have worked together to establish the July 7th Truth
Campaign, the J7 web site, the J7 People's Independent Inquiry Forum and the J7 Petition calling on the government to RELEASE THE EVIDENCE that conclusively proves or disproves the conspiracy theory outlined in the official Home Office narrative.
The May 2004 edition of Panorama focused on
London falling victim to a terrorist attack and, coincidentally,
featured three explosions on underground trains and one explosion on a
land-based transportation device, a rehearsal scenario not entirely
dissimilar to Mr Power's rehearsal operation on 7th July 2005 and the
apparent reality of events that day.
The BBC described Panorama's London Under Attack on their web site:
This film is a mock exercise of what might happen in London if there was a terror attack now.In a unique fusion of drama, detailed research and expert discussion Panorama puts Britain's emergency plans to the test.Set in the future - but only just - the city of London is thrown into chaos by a series of terrorist attacks.The fictional day of terror unfolds through the immediacy of rolling news bringing the catastrophic attack into our living rooms.
For those that missed the documentary, the BBC has kindly provided a copy of "'How the fictional attack unfolded",
a page dedicated to revealing how news of the fictional attack was
presented to the world via a series of 'mock broadcasts'. The key events
unfolded like this:
8.20am Tuesday 25 May: We're receiving news of an explosion in the London underground near Hyde Park. This has not yet been confirmed by the police
8.27am: There has been a 2nd explosion on the underground, this time close to Oxford Circus. Both explosions appear to have occurred on the trains as they were moving.8.40am: Reports are coming in that a third explosion has now occurred on an underground train approaching Vauxhall station.9am: News 24 headlines: In the past hour there have been three major explosions on the London Underground. The first at 8.10am on the Piccadilly Line between Knightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner. The second at 8.16 on the Central Line between Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus and the third at 8.27 as a train was arriving at Vauxhall station in Stockwell on the Victoria line. Emergency services have been called to all three scenes. There are no reports on number of casualties and the police say its too early to identify a possible cause. London underground is now closed and police are now urging people not to travel.10.10: We're just getting reports that there has been a further explosion in central London in the region around Liverpool street station, we will of course bring you more news on that as soon as we can. Meanwhile traffic problems continue in central London as the full effects of the emergency police cordons are being felt.
10.41: We can now confirm that a tankercarrying chlorine has exploded at the junction of Shoreditch high Street and commercial street. Chlorine is extremely toxic in this form and police are issuing express warnings for people to stay indoors, close windows and remain there until the all clear is given.10.44: Police are still urging people to stay indoors until the extent of the chlorine release is known. They are repeating again, chlorine is extremely toxic.
Peter Power and Panorama's 'mock broadcasts'
detailed the unfolding of the fictional terror attack, along with
graphics showing the fictional blast locations and simulating how news
of the attack might be presented, had such an attack actually occurred.
The unfolding of the Panorama sequence of events
bears an uncanny resemblance to how the initial stories of 7 July 2005
were rolled out; three explosions underground, with timings staggered
over the space of half an hour, before a fourth explosion occurred some
time later on an above ground transportation device. For Panorama, the
land-based transportation device was a chlorine tanker. On 7 July 2005,
it was a number 30 bus.
A copy of the Panorama programme does not appear to be available from the BBC web site, however you can read a transcript of BBC Panorama's London Under Attack programme here . A mirror copy of the transcript can be found here, and a partial but eminently watchable version of the actual London Under Attack programme can be downloaded here.
What is important to note are the findings of the Panorama documentary of May 2004, as summarised below:
The programme reveals that police, ambulance and fire services communications systems are incompatible with each other in London and across the UK and that in the deep underground, Metropolitan Police radios do not work.Radios incompatibleThe communications system used by Civil Contingency Reaction Force (CCRF) - a specialist groups of reservists whose role is to help out in the event of disaster scenarios - is also incompatible with any of the emergency services.This means that in the event of a disaster - none of the emergency services would be able to talk to each other on their own radios
These findings were passed to the Home Office by
Panorama. At the time of the programme, the Home Office had refused to
cooperate with the exercise, branding it as 'alarmist and irresponsible'. However, the findings should have come as no surprise to anyone given that the inquiry into the King's Cross fire of 18th November 1987 -- another event with which Peter Power was involved
-- came to the exactly the same conclusions about communications as
Panorama did over a decade later. These happen to be the same findings
that the Greater London Authority's 7 July Review Committee arrived at
18 years after the King's Cross Fire - a point which the 7 July Review
Committee deemed worthy of note in its own final report, along with the
unacceptability that these communication problems still had not been
resolved:
2.24 The official inquiry into the King’s Cross fire, published in 1988, included a chapter on communications. The report highlighted the lack of communications between the station surface and underground, and the inability of officers from the British Transport Police and London Fire Brigade to communicate underground unless they were within line of sight of each other. The report made recommendations aimed at putting in place effective communications within and between the emergency services underground. These were categorised by Desmond Fennell OBE QC, who conducted the inquiry, as among the most important recommendations made in the report.....11.5 It is unacceptable that the emergency services, with the exception of the British Transport Police, are still not able to communicate by radio when they are underground, 18 years after the official inquiry into the King’s Cross fire recommended action to address this problem. The Committee has been told that this problem will be resolved by the end of 2007.
In fact, Peter Power had something to say about
the 7 July Review Committee reports released two years after his
involvement in Panorama's London Under Attack, and a year after his
terror rehearsal operation on 7th July 2005. During an interview with
BBC News Mr Power, aside from plugging his Survive organisation,
revealed that he was also running a 'command centre' for another
organisation on 7th July 2005 and, yet again, referred to the importance
of getting a casualty bureau number out when a real disaster occurs,
something that did not happen on 7th July 2005 for over six hours after
the first incidents were reported.
Note: Throughout the news and media coverage of the day, no casualty bureau number was ever announced to the public until 3:24pm,
by DAC Brian Paddick during a Metropolitan Police Press Conference.
This is over six hours after the first incident of the day was reported
and several hours after various authorities and emergency services had
declared major incidents at multiple locations. Why was a casualty
bureau number not set-up and broadcast immediately the first major
incident was declared?
Panorama's fake terror, 7/7, Peter Power & Kirsty Lang
In yet another bizarre 'coincidence' of events,
the newsreader pictured in the Panorama transcript above, reading news
of the fake attack played out in the BBC's London Under Attack
programme, is one Kirsty Lang, also pictured left. Kirsty is the
presenter of The World, an international current affairs programme
broadcast globally on BBC World and on BBC4 in the UK. Kirsty is a
regular presenter on Front Row, the Radio 4 arts magazine programme. She is also a former presenter of Channel 4 News and a 'relief presenter' for BBC World. The TV Room fills in a little more background detail:
Kirsty started at the BBC as a graduate news trainee in 1985 after completing a degree in international relations at the London School of Economics and a postgrad MA in journalism from City University, London.
She then became a general news reporter in radio. In 1989, she took up a post in Budapest as stringer for the BBC World Service. In late-1991, she became a correspondent in the BBC Paris office.
C. 1994, Kirsty returned to London to take up a post as a reporter for 'Newsnight'. In summer 1995 she moved out of television to join the Sunday Times as their Paris correspondent. She remained there until 1998 when she returned to TV as Europe correspondent and presenter for 'Channel 4 News'.
In 2002, Kirsty moved to the BBC where she presented the news on BBC World and fronted the BBC Four news programme.
As part of Lang's stint in Eastern Europe as Central European reporter for the BBC World Service
based in Budapest, she covered the fall of the Berlin Wall and the
Balkans conflict, before then going on to be BBC World Service Paris
correspondent at the time Diana and Dodi Fayed were killed. In early
2002 she moved from her post as Channel 4 News reader to join BBC Four News as chief correspondent. Her husband is a writer and broadcaster on Eastern Europe, especially Yugoslavia, and his father was in British Army intelligence in West Berlin, and a lecturer in Russian studies.
More recently, Lang chaired a Morgan Stanley sponsored meeting
of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures &
Commerce, cunningly known by the simple three-letter acronym, RSA, which ignores entirely the 'Manufactures and Commerce' aspects of the society, on the subject of Britishness. Lang was also on the Advisory Board of Editorial Intelligence, Editorial Intelligence is Julia Hobsbawm’s “information and networking club”, whose list of clients include the Cabinet Office and the Metropolitan Police, and which has caused a bit of a stir among journalists with its strapline, "Where PR meets journalism". Hobsbawm is also a close associate and friend of Gordon and Sarah Brown, having once run a company, Hobsbawm Macaulay, with Sarah Brown, the wife of British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown.
The Press Gazette reports that Lang has since resigned from the Editorial Intelligence board, sometime between late March and early April 2006 but, according to the Sunday Times,
this was only as a result of the BBC forcing journalists in their
employ (Lang, as well as Barney Jones, editor of Radio 4's Sunday AM)
to resign from the Editorial Intelligence board after learning that EI
were buying off journalists with £1,000 a year to sit on the board and
£200 a time to attend seminars.
As mentioned, one of Lang's roles is that of 'relief presenter' with BBC World, making her one of at least 25 regular and relief presenters for the channel. She was also hired to present the 'mock broadcasts'
used to create a sense of realism in Panorama's London Under Attack
alongside Peter Power and, in another amazing coincidence, Lang was
selected from the range of BBC World presenters
to replace regular newscasters on the biggest UK news day of 2005,
namely the day of 7th July 2005. Lang can be seen in the screen captures
below, both taken from BBC World coverage broadcast on 7/7.

Quite aside from the amazing coincidence of Peter
Power's terror rehearsal on 7/7, which closely mirrored the reported
events of that day, the odds are stacked against the coincidence of
Kirsty Lang happening to be hired by the BBC to present fake news
reports in the 2004 Panorama programme -- featuring, as per the original
story that unfolded on the day of 7th July 2005, three staggered
explosions on the London underground, including one at Liverpool Street
(shown below), followed later by an explosion above ground on a
land-based transportation device -- before then overcoming a one in
twenty-five chance of being the BBC World 'relief presenter' selected to
present the news on the day of 7th July 2005.

An objective look at Peter Power's career
Aside from his connection to 7/7, Peter Power has
a long and interesting history of involvement with terrorist incidents
in London and with disasters on the underground. His distinguished
career includes being deputy forward controller at the scene of the shooting of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, an incident that occurred during the Libyan People's Bureau siege, as well taking a senior role in the Oxford Circus underground fire and the King's Cross station fire operations.
The Murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher
Woman Police Constable (WPC) Yvonne Fletcher
(1959–17 April 1984) was a British policewoman who was shot and killed
in London's St James's Square during a protest outside the Libyan
embassy. The shooting resulted in a siege at the embassy which lasted
for eleven days, as well as the breakdown of diplomatic relations
between the United Kingdom and Libya. She was the first policewoman to
be murdered while on duty in Britain.
Eleven anti-Gadafy demonstrators were injured in
the volley of gun fire. WPC Yvonne Fletcher was also shot and,
although rushed to Westminster Hospital, died soon after arrival.
Peter Power was the deputy forward controller at
the Libyan People's Bureau siege at which WPC Yvonne Fletcher was shot.
Fletcher's murder would later become a major factor in the then prime
minister Thatcher's decision to allow U.S. President Ronald Reagan to
launch the USAF bombing raid on Libya in 1986 from American bases in
Britain.
In April 1996, 12 years after the killing, Britain’s Channel Four flagship documentary programme Dispatches - in a massively researched broadcast, Murder at St James's,
that cited credible and experienced sources - revealed that Fletcher
had been murdered by elements of British and American intelligence.
Disgracefully, these astonishing revelations went unreported by the
media in much the same way as many crucial revelations about the events
of 7th July 2005, such as Peter Power's simultaneous terror operation
and the many factual inaccuracies, inconsistencies and curious anomalies
in the official story of July 7th have also gone virtually, if not
totally, unreported and unchallenged.
Issues raised by the Dispatches programme about the killing of WPC Fletcher were later raised in Parliament by Tam Dalyell on 8 May 1996.
Mr Dalyell qualified before Parliament that the programme had been
exceptionally well researched and that it had featured the statements
from people whose calibre and relevant experience was beyond question or
compare. Contributors to Dispatches included a senior ballistics
officer of the British Army, Lieutenant Colonel George Styles, and Dr
Bernard Knight, a senior and distinguished Home Office pathologist.
MP Tam Dalyell raised a total of eight separate
issues in relation to the murder of WPC Fletcher, including that Yvonne
Fletcher appeared to have have been shot from a different direction than
that alleged; that huge discrepancies existed between the reports of
pathologist Dr Ian West whose post mortem report differed significantly
from his analysis presented at the inquest; and that WPC Fletcher's
injuries could not have been caused by the alleged combination of gun
and firing position.
When the makers of 'Murder at St James's',
Fulcrum Productions, attempted to interview the pathologist, Dr Ian
West, about the inconsistencies in his reports, he cancelled two
appointments and then refused completely to meet.
In response to Mr Dalyell's inquiries in
Parliament, the Minister of State for the Home Office, David Maclean,
dismissed the Dispatches programme simply as "preposterous trash".
The ongoing controversy surrounding Fletcher's death resulted in the current prime minister, Tony Blair, being questioned by former MP Tam Dalyell
in parliament on 24 June 1997. Mr Dalyell received a similarly
unenthusiastic response from the State as he had on previous occasions.
In 1998, 14 years after the killing, the murder of WPC Fletcher was
still being cited as the sole reason for maintaining trade sanctions
against Libya by Jack Straw on behalf of the Labour government.
Following the shooting of WPC Fletcher, the then
Home Secretary, Leon Brittan, immediately ordered an investigation. The
results of that investigation have never been divulged to the British
public and have remained one of many State secrets kept from the public.
Perhaps the deputy forward controller at the
Libyan People's Bureau siege, Peter Power, might able to shed some light
on exactly what happened in the case of the killing of WPC Yvonne
Fletcher, as well as during his terror rehearsal operation in London on
7th July 2005.
The Oxford Circus Underground Fire
During the Oxford Circus fire incident of 1984, a crisis situation that earnt Mr Power the title of 'Pied Piper of the Underground',
Power commandeered an underground train on which he happened to be
travelling, lied to passengers over the train's tannoy system about the
severity of the situation that faced them before giving the train's
driver "a certain bit of advice to his face" after which the driver, "was knocked out". See the BBC On This Day reports "1984: Oxford Circus fire traps hundreds" and, "1984: 'Pied Piper' of the Underground" for more information on these incidents.
The King's Cross Station Fire
On 18 November 1987, a flash fire engulfed an old
wooden escalator at the King's Cross underground station. Thirty one
people perished in the disaster including a firefighter - Colin
Townsley, station officer from the Soho Fire Station in central London.
Two other firefighters were trapped on the station platform but
survived.
You can see a short ITN News at Ten report of the King's Cross fire here.
From the BBC 'On this day' report:
Inspector Peter Power was sent to the scene of the King's Cross fire to co-ordinate the efforts of the emergency services.He ran the Metropolitan Police's forward command post for much of the evening and most of the night on 18 November 1987.Three years earlier he himself had been trapped underground in a serious fire at Oxford Circus Tube station in London.
We recommend reading the full BBC account of Peter Power's activities
at the Metropolitan Police's forward command post which includes the
strange tale of drunken police officers attending the scene who later "would be taken home by chauffeur-driven car after they had worked out their war stories and had a few drinks", and this interesting snippet about Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan police commissioner since February 2005:
The present deputy-commissioner of the Met Police, Ian Blair, was already on scene as a detective inspector.We knew each other very well and he turned to me and said, "Peter, I think we've had a bomb explosion here."I asked him why and he said, "At least one of the casualties has metal deep inside him... but we're not going to go public on it."
The MI6 Builiding Rocket Attack
At
around 9:45pm on 20th September 2000, an explosion was reported in
central London at the headquarters of Britain's secret service, MI6.
Initially it was unknown whether the explosion had occurred inside or
outside the building and firefighters say they were called to attend the scene at Vauxhall Cross at 9.52pm.
A rocket launcher was later found and no group
ever claimed responsibility, although suspicions pointed the finger at
the Real IRA. After the MI6 rocket attack, Mr Power was again quoted by the BBC.
He described the MI6 building as one of the most high profile in central London in a statement that seemed to positively encourage such activities. Power told the BBC:
“If you wanted to make a name for yourself, get yourself back onto the front pages, why not go for something that’s high profile and minimal risk.”
To date, despite the device used to launch the attack being found in Spring Gardens,
nobody has ever been charged for this attack, although it was intimated
at the time that Irish Republican organisations might be responsible.
This begs many questions about who might be be capable of perpetrating
a rocket attack on a building as high-profile as the MI6 building and
be allowed to get away with it.
Visor Consultants mentioned in Parliament
Security Exercises (London Underground)Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what security exercises were undertaken by Visor consultants in or around London Underground stations in the week preceding 7 July. [16048]Ms Buck: None.
Short and sweet if nothing else. Never since mentioned in Parliament.
Peter Power's international connections
Peter Power also has connections to former New York Mayor, Rudi Giuliani;
he served on the Advisory Board to the Canadian Centre for Emergency
preparedness (CCEP), alongside the senior Vice President of Giuliani and
Partners, Richard Sheirer, who was also Director of the New York
Mayor’s office of Emergency Management, overseeing the rescue and
recovery operations following the September 11th attacks. Giuliani and
Partners is itself both a security consultancy and Investment Bank and
Mr. Giuliani himself, by another strange coincidence, also happened to
be in London for a conference and just yards away from Liverpool Street station when the blast occurred there on the morning of July 7th.
Mr Giuliani was mayor of New York at the time of the 9/11 and his emergency bunker was destroyed at 5:30pm that day when World Trade Centre building 7 mysteriously collapsed, despite not having been hit by a plane.
How much more do we know now?
In short, very little was known for over three
years. Neither Peter Power, nor any other representative of Visor
Consultants, had been publicly quizzed about the exact nature and extent
of their operation that morning, despite the extremely bizarre
coincidence of them running a rehearsal "based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened." Three years, however, appears to have been the watershed.
Up until October 2008 there were only two
instances of additional information appearing in the public domain via
comments left by Peter Power. The first was left on the Newsnight Editors' blog in September 2006,
and was only the second written statement attributed to Power since the
events of 7 July 2005, the first being a generic statement issued to
all interested parties who contacted him after he announced his terror
rehearsal operation that he was running while London was actually
bombed. We reproduce Peter Power's comment from the Newsnight blog
below:
202. At 09.25 AM
on 17 Sep 2006, Peter Power wrote:
My name repeatedly comes up whenever armchair / conspiratorial thinkers consider the terrorist exercise my company ran in London at exactly the same time as 7/7. This is only the second time I have formally reacted to these numerous statements. I’ve also appeared many times on BBC News / Newsnight to explain post 9/11 & 7/7 concepts such as ‘new normal’ etc. I think anyone familiar with likely terrorist targets will release [sic] our exercise scenario was coincidence rather than conspiracy, but it does start to raise some interesting points on a wider scale.
Several features now exist to create a much more generic and all-hazards approach to numerous risks and threats that are uniquely starting to appear on the global / corporate radar screen irrespective of country, culture, geography or sector. Some of these are already occurring such as a new form of terrorism that has no ‘political’ objective, the effect of high volume and unrestricted information on the internet, spread of disease / mass travel (230m people passed through UK airports last year / all major air hubs are less than 72 hours apart), ineffective world leaders & UN, the consequences of accelerating global warming, the positioning of key essential / physiological supplies (Critical National Infrastructure – CNI - UK) in the private sector (e.g. electricity, water etc.) and an associated failure to understand how vital the private sector is not only in terms of employment, economy and wealth generation, but to maintain almost the entire CNI in most if it not all countries.
In several cases these threats and risks combine to create a series of problems that we are presently unable to deal with as a result of silo based attitudes, incompetence, proprietorial behaviour or just complacency.
There is I suggest, a need to start building a new approach based on conceptualising and hopefully influencing others since we are presently lacking a truly forward thinking and pan global collective body of influential advisors, practitioners and academics that transcends the otherwise valuable but discrete institutions in many countries and their individual agendas. It might just inform many others as to what terrorism is all about and get them to think twice before alleging my own company was some how implicated in 7/7. My aim is to help stimulate, collaborate and disseminate effective and non partisan advice without the handicap of parochial restrictions, silo constraints or inhibited vision.
The second comment was left on this page of the July 7th Truth Campaign web site on 15th December 2007 after the release of this YouTube video by a group called 'We Are Change UK'.
For some unknown reason Peter Power has chosen to leave his comment
about the We Are Change video here, rather than contact We Are Change
directly. J7 have verified Peter Power as the source of this comment
before publication and you can read his comment here, or immediately below:
I rarely respond to allegations that there was a direct connection between an exercise my company was running on 7 July 2005 and the real events that happened that day, but having just seen on You Tube a highly misleading video following a childish stunt against me on 12/12/07 I feel I have little choice but to make three important points:
First, I chose to meet 2 people that day who requested an interview with me while I was attending a conference in a London hotel. Having shaken their hands and asked where they were from I noticed I was being covertly filmed by one of them who denied it, although it was obvious. As it is not possible to have a civilised conversation when deceit from one side was apparent from the outset, I apologised that I could not help in such circumstances and suggested another time perhaps? I then walked back to the conference – suddenly pursued by 2 or 3 shouting people trying to make it appear I was fleeing?
Second, it’s worth reminding some people that the London underground system has so far been the subject of terrorist bombings on 21 occasions, going back to 1885. Also, on the same day as our exercise, a major law firm in the City of London was running an exercise that involved bombs on the underground. A few days before so did a major German bank in London and even the Metropolitan Police. We were not alone.
Third, our table top exercise was to involve a very small group of crisis managers under test, from a company employing c1000 people. No one was on the streets at all. Just one part of the scenario was similar to IRA incendiary bombs planted on the underground in 1992 to start fires on three underground trains, albeit the locations were by sheer coincidence, more 2005 that 1992. That’s not so surprising when we had a limited number of underground lines to choose from, given the location of our client in the centre of London.
There will be no convincing some very odd people who think actors were on the bus that was actually bombed and the UK Government staged the whole thing on 7/7, the World Trade Centre was pre-wired with explosives on 9/11 and even that tragedy was a US Government setup.
At a time when this country is under a sustained terrorist threat it makes sense to base any exercise scenario on realism and historical events and in so doing hopefully increase our overall resilience to this threat. Had the odd people I met on 12.12.07 bothered to have a proper conversation with me I would have explained all this to them but fantasists will, no matter what I say, always prefer sensationalism to sense and conspiracy to coincidence.Peter Power. Visor Consultants Limited. 15 December 2007
Another ten months were to pass before any further comment was made by Peter Power, prompted by his involvement with a particularly pathetic and insulting episode of the BBC's Conspiracy Files on the subject of 7/7.
It is worth noting that J7 categorically refused to have anything to do
with the production of the Conspiracy Files and a copy of our missive to the BBC explaining why can be found here.
The BBC had originally planned to broadcast its Conspiracy Files 7/7
episode in June 2008, however these plans were scuppered somewhat by the
CPS bringing a prosecution against three acquaintances of the four men
accused of perpetating the attacks of 7 July 2005, thereby rendering the
matter sub judice. Despite much anticipation and fervour about the expected fait accompli
outcome of the trial, the jury failed to reach a verdict, even though
the judge had lowered the bar and offered to accept a majority verdict
of 10 to 2.
A retrial was scheduled, further postponing the
broadcast date of the Conspiracy Files about 7/7. The second trial
resulted in the accused being found not guilty of assisting the 7 July accused, and in the midst of all this, Peter Power decided to leave the following comment in which he finally reveals the client for whom his terror rehearsal operation was being run:
There has been much nonsense written about why my company ran an exercise on 7 July 2005 that had very close parallels to the real thing that day. Since then I have made several attempts to add my own comments to numerous sites that seem to get increasingly excited about their own conspiracy theories and in the process exclude any rational debate. It seems those who occupy the world of finding conspiracy theories to replace just about any coincidence, do not want to have any dialogue with those offering a different view, but I have not yet given up hope. I am therefore hoping, perhaps naively, that someone might like to read an honest and factual account about a particular exercise my company ran in London three years ago.
Unfortunately, the BBC have just postponed a programme in their ‘conspiracy files’ series that would have done this. Our client three years ago agreed to be named in the BBC programme since the attitude of the producer and his team was very balanced (several conspiracy theorists were also invited to take part). We even allowed our complete exercise material to be made available to the BBC. Regrettably broadcasting it now might jeopardise an ongoing court case, so they had little choice about postponing it to next year.
Early in 2005 Reed Elsevier, an
organisation specialising in information and publishing that employs
1,000 people in and around London, asked us to help them prepare an
effective crisis management plan and rehearse it before sign-off.
Several draft scenarios were drawn up and the crisis team themselves set
the exercise date and time: 9.00am on 7 July.
The test was planned as a table-top walk through for about six people (the CM team) in a lecture room with all injects simulated. Everything was on MS PowerPoint. The location of their Central London office near to Chancery Lane was chosen as one test site. With many staff travelling to work via the London underground system, the chosen exercise simulated incendiary devices on three trains, very similar to a real IRA attack in 1992, as well as other events.
As there had been eighteen terrorist bomb attacks on tube trains prior to 2005, choosing the London Underground was logical rather than just prescient. With this in mind it was hardly surprising that Deutsche Bank had run a similar exercise a few days before and, prior to that, a multi-agency (and much publicised) exercise code-named Osiris II had simulated a terrorist attack at Bank tube station. Moreover, I had also taken part in a BBC Panorama programme in 2004 as a panellist alongside Michael Portillo MP et al, in an unscripted debate (we had no idea at all what the scenario was to be?) on how London might once again, deal with terrorist attacks, only this time it was fictional (created entirely by the BBC).In short, some of the research for our exercise had already been done. The scenario developed for our client even started by using fictitious news items from the Panorama programme then, as with any walk through exercise, events unfolded solely on a screen as dictated by the facilitator without any external injects or actions beyond the exercise room. Also factored into the scenario was to be an above ground fictitious bomb exploding not far from the head office of the protected Jewish Chronicle magazine where for exercise purposes, our imagined terrorists would have been aware that commuters would now be walking to work (past a building already considered a target) as some tube stations would have been closed.
Of just eight nearby tube stations that fell within possible exercise's scope, three were chosen that, by coincidence, were involved in the awful drama that actually took place on 7 July 2005. A level of scenario validation that on this occasion, we could have done without.
An exercise that turns into the real thing is not that unusual. For example, in January 2003, thirty people were injured when a tube train derailed and hit a wall at speed. At the same time, the City of London Police were running an exercise for their central casualty bureau where the team quickly abandoned their plans and swung into action to cope with the real thing.
For a surprising number of people such coincidents cannot be accepted as such. There just has to be a conspiracy behind them, despite the obvious point that painstaking research will always identify probable above possible scenarios. By the way, the only reason I was asked to speak on TV news that day, when there was still much confusion about the real tragedies, was to encourage more organisations to thoroughly plan their own exercises knowing the threat of terrorism is and remains, very real. One tragic consequence being Islam, a great Abrahamic, monotheistic faith (along with Judaism and Christianity), has undeservedly become vilified by some people.

Subject: ANTHONY HILL 7/7 RIPPLE EFFECT A MASTERPIECE
Dear Sir/Madam
I do not expect l’Express or any other Mauritian Media to publish this piece, but as your paper has recently published an article regarding the London explosions that occurred on 7 July 2005, I believe Mauritians (or at least the still grieving family of Rachelle Ng and my former students) should be informed that the UK government and its controlled media are not the only ones to have the freedom of speech, and that there is what is called alternative views regarding matters that affect us all worldwide.
At least 20,000 readers are exposed to my articles every single day on “The Ugly Truth”, and great people like Mark Glenn, Reverend Mark Dankoff, Joe Cortina, USS Liberty Survivor Phillip Tourney, and Mavi Marmara Survivor Ken O’Keefe (to mention just a few) have never suppressed my voice.
I am sending you this piece to be published and simply as a test. Please, can you kindly let me know if you cannot or will not publish it in l’Express? With thanks.

ANTHONY HILL 7/7 RIPPLE EFECT A MASTERPIECE
By B.A.Frémaux-Soormally
Mr Peter Power of Visor Consultants Limited (or an agent using his name) sent me the following commentary on my Blog.JIM FETZER INTERVIEWS MUAD'DIB OF 7-7 RIPPLE EFFECT
It’s narrated by someone with a very menacing voice calling himself Muad’Dib who seeks to ‘tell the truth’ about 7/7. However, Muad’Dib is in fact a fictional character in a science fiction novel ‘Dune’ written by Frank Herbert in 1965. The actual narrator and producer of the video is a Mr John Hill, an elderly conspiracy theorist from Sheffield UK who likes to read make believe stories and, who also believes he is the second coming of Christ.
There have been similar claims to ‘expose the facts’ made by a previous M15 employee, David Shayler. Interestingly he competes with Mr Hill to also be the self proclaimed reincarnation of Jesus Christ, although in the case of Shayler he now dresses in women’s clothes and refers to himself as Dolores, perhaps making his own claim to be the Messiah slightly more dubious?
The London Underground system has been bombed by terrorists at least 22 times since 1885 and is therefore an obvious target. Very many organisations have, not surprisingly, carried out similar exercises as we did for our client in 2005. Given the location of our client and the purpose of this particular exercise inject, we only had about 9 stations to choose from. Not the entire underground system.
It’s hardly surprising that we seldom respond to facile questions, although I can add that the only reason I was asked to speak on TV news that day, when there was still much confusion about the real tragedies, was to encourage more organisations to thoroughly plan their own exercises knowing the threat of terrorism is and remains, very real. One tragic consequence being Islam, a great Abrahamic, monotheistic faith (along with Judaism and Christianity), has undeservedly become vilified by some people.
I hope this helps, but sadly I doubt it.

MY REPLY TO THE REAL PETER POWER
Monday 1st of November 2010
If I have to choose between Anthony Hill, the gentleman who produced 7/7 Ripple Effect (inspired by 9/11 Ripple Effect by Dave Von Kleist) under the name of Muad’Dib and the Jewish hired Peter Power, I will not hesitate one second in choosing Anthony Hill.
Since the very moment the Zionist Controlled British Television Network (ZCBTN) announced the explosions of 7 July 2005, I knew it was an inside government false flag operation that was immediately blamed on Muslims who they said all died in the explosions, but which by some miracle were later gunned down in Canary Wharf. This was the “news” (DISINFO) as I heard it both on television and radio.
I had confirmation of many lies told during the television broadcasts on the very same day including the Himalayan lie told by Peter Power, whose team was hired by a 1000-strong staffed Jewish firm to carry out drills at the same locations and time where and when the explosions occurred. Peter Power spilled the beans when he hid the identity of the firm, but in the same breath he was betrayed by his twisted brain by mentioning the presence of exclusively “JEWISH BUSINESSES” and American Banks in the Area that required such “anti-terror” drills! Power left it to us to guess whether he meant Jewish or American, but any logical person would know that if it was American he would never have hesitated to say so and even identify the firm, but that if it was Jewish, he had all the reasons in the world not to say so and cover up its identity.
Power said that he obtained permission from his (Jewish) client to reveal its name in the Propaganda film on 7/7 made years later for the sole purpose to discredit all, like myself, who held different views, and in particular to ridicule Anthony Hill’s 7/7 Ripple Effect (Power calls his propaganda “balanced”). In that film, the name of that Jewish firm was revealed in a flash of lightening that lasted barely a few milliseconds and with nearly no useful and recognisable details at all! I had to do more research to find out from Power’s own article of October 2008 the name of his mysterious client that even the Police and Secret Services did not even bother either to find out or to let us know who they were!
Hold your breath, please. My research* uncovered that the company’s name was: “Reed Elsevier, an organisation specialising in information and publishing that employs 1,000 people in and around London…”
But, what Peter Power was deliberately hiding from us and which according to him would be a mere coincidence is that Reed Elsevier is a JEWISH (?) COMPANY connected with ARMS’ TRAFFICKING as well! As a former teacher of science, I knew of the Jewish Heinemann Publishing House based in London, a “subsidiary” of Reed Elsevier.
“Two UK academics, Dr. Tom Stafford of Sheffield University and Dr Nick Gill, launched petitions calling on Reed Elsevier to stop organising arms fairs. [16][17] A subsidiary, Spearhead, organised defence shows, including an event where it was reported that cluster bombs and extremely powerful riot control equipment were offered for sale.[18][19]” (Wikipedia)
So, my dear people of Britain (and elsewhere), if you want to know where the explosives for the 7/7 London explosions came from, do not look any further! One thing for sure, it was not manufactured by young “suspicious” fanatical Muslims from “Boss perfumes” in their filthy flat’s kitchens as alleged and even shown on film!
Here again, Peter Power takes the British people for morons thinking nobody amongst us would know that the Police had the duty to tell us about that mysterious Peter Power client, and that we did not need the permission of the “Jewish” firm for the British nation to be informed of its REAL identity three years later, and as a Jewish favour done to us, if we are to believe Peter Power’s crappy arguments.
Without having to go into the details of the “Muslim Day of Terror”, of its lies and cover ups, Peter Power’s false (very suspect at the least) testimony was enough for me to be convinced that Police, Government and media were all lying, which means the ones accused were not the guilty parties!
What I understood Peter Power to have meant was that HE WENT OPERATIONAL ON THE EXACT LOCATIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME OF THE EXPLOSIONS NOT TO PREVENT TERROR ATTACKS FROM HAPPENING, BUT ONLY TO JUMP FROM SOME KIND OF SLOW CRAP HE SAID TO SOME KIND OF SWIFT CRAP! (I really did not grasp his Jewish-English!)
A few years ago, I was threatened by a “Muslim” vigilante in the midst of dozens of presstitutes (mainstream journalists) gathered in front of Omar Mosque ( a former Synagogue) to interview “MUSLIM TERRORISTS COMING OUT OF PRAYER”, including the Jewish-owned/controlled French newspaper Libération. The French journalist (Jewish, most probably!) promised he would come back to me, but he never did! Instead, I received death threats at my home. WHY, if all that people like me say is just “nonsense” as Peter Power puts it?
Since the death threats and other quite worrying events that happened to me, I have been living in fear not for me personally, but for my loved ones! PETER POWER IS CONNECTED WITH TERRORISTS (JEWISH AND STATE) AND ARMS TRAFFICKERS! So, I do not take these threats lightly! His vain attempt to influence me by his ridiculous comment on my Blog made me bolder. The life and well being of my children and grand children are at stake, and I do not take lightly these false flag operations (like the Israeli attacks on the USS Liberty in June 1967) that always benefit Jews and their Friends of Israel, and always blamed on MY RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY!
Please, help Anthony Hill who is facing a life sentence for informing the Judge and Jury (through his video 7/7 Ripple Effect) that Muslims accused to be linked to the explosions were totally innocent! He is to face his Judges this November 2010.
P.S. Whether David Shayler or Anthony Hill claim they are GODS, CHRISTS or MESSIAHS, I do not give a damn, and it is not an argument to prove that Peter Power is not telling lies and not involved in the London explosions of 7/7/2005. He looks worse than Larry Silverstein to me! HE PULLED IT! What if we checked his (or his family’s) Bank accounts and assets!

7/7 exercise
There
has been much nonsense written about why my company ran an exercise on
7 July 2005 that had very close parallels to the real thing that day.
Since then I have made several attempts to add my own comments to
numerous sites that seem to get increasingly excited about their own
conspiracy theories and in the process exclude any rational debate. It
seems those who occupy the world of finding conspiracy theories to
replace just about any coincidence, do not want to have any dialogue
with those offering a different view, but I have not yet given up hope.
I am therefore hoping, perhaps naively, that someone might like to
read an honest and factual account about a particular exercise my
company ran in London three years ago.
Unfortunately, the BBC have just postponed a programme in their ‘conspiracy files’ series that would have done this. Our client three years ago agreed to be named in the BBC programme since the attitude of the producer and his team was very balanced (several conspiracy theorists were also invited to take part). We even allowed our complete exercise material to be made available to the BBC. Regrettably broadcasting it now might jeopardise an ongoing court case, so they had little choice about postponing it to next year.
Early in 2005 Reed Elsevier, an organisation specialising in information and publishing that employs 1,000 people in and around London, asked us to help them prepare an effective crisis management plan and rehearse it before sign-off. Several draft scenarios were drawn up and the crisis team themselves set the exercise date and time: 9.00am on 7 July.
The test was planned as a table-top walk through for about six people (the CM team) in a lecture room with all injects simulated. Everything was on MS PowerPoint. The location of their Central London office near to Chancery Lane was chosen as one test site. With many staff travelling to work via the London underground system, the chosen exercise simulated incendiary devices on three trains, very similar to a real IRA attack in 1992, as well as other events.
As there had been eighteen terrorist bomb attacks on tube trains prior to 2005, choosing the London Underground was logical rather than just prescient. With this in mind it was hardly surprising that Deutsche Bank had run a similar exercise a few days before and, prior to that, a multi-agency (and much publicised) exercise code-named Osiris II had simulated a terrorist attack at Bank tube station. Moreover, I had also taken part in a BBC Panorama programme in 2004 as a panellist alongside Michael Portillo MP et al, in an unscripted debate (we had no idea at all what the scenario was to be?) on how London might once again, deal with terrorist attacks, only this time it was fictional (created entirely by the BBC).
In short, some of the research for our exercise had already been done. The scenario developed for our client even started by using fictitious news items from the Panorama programme then, as with any walk through exercise, events unfolded solely on a screen as dictated by the facilitator without any external injects or actions beyond the exercise room. Also factored into the scenario was to be an above ground fictitious bomb exploding not far from the head office of the protected Jewish Chronicle magazine where for exercise purposes, our imagined terrorists would have been aware that commuters would now be walking to work (past a building already considered a target) as some tube stations would have been closed.
Of just eight nearby tube stations that fell within possible exercise scope, three were chosen that, by coincidence, were involved in the awful drama that actually took place on 7 July 2005. A level of scenario validation that on this occasion, we could have done without.
An exercise that turns into the real thing is not that unusual. For example, in January 2003, thirty people were injured when a tube train derailed and hit a wall at speed. At the same time, the City of London Police were running an exercise for their central casualty bureau where the team quickly abandoned their plans and swung into action to cope with the real thing.
For a surprising number of people such coincidents cannot be accepted as such. There just has to be a conspiracy behind them, despite the obvious point that painstaking research will always identify probable above possible scenarios. By the way, the only reason I was asked to speak on TV news that day, when there was still much confusion about the real tragedies, was to encourage more organisations to thoroughly plan their own exercises knowing the threat of terrorism is and remains, very real. One tragic consequence being Islam, a great Abrahamic, monotheistic faith (along with Judaism and Christianity), has undeservedly become vilified by some people.

THE SAME STORY REPEATED ITSELF IN MARCH 2012 WITH MOSSADNIK NICOLAS SARKOSY'S FALSE FLAG WITH THE MOHAMMED MERAH AFFAIR!

Reasons why the “Elite” fear Muad’Dib, other than 7/7 Truth.
created 04.03.2009 - 22:35, updated 16.05.2011 - 20:47
- On 13/June/1988, in fulfillment of prophecy, Muad’Dib
served a High Court Writ upon the British Parliament, at court in the
City of Sheffield, demanding that He be allowed to immediately repeal
all man-made “laws” which are all illegal according to God’s Law, and
which enable the rich to “legally” steal from everyone else. He would
also re-institute the "Year of Release", which is the forgiveness of
debt every seven years, and the REAL "Jubilee" and begin to redistribute
their share of the wealth that has been stolen from them back to the
poor, and ban usury. The ban on private gun ownership would be repealed
and all would have exactly the same powers to arrest persons
committing real crimes.
- T.H.E.Y.* KNOW Who He REALLY is.
- Muad’Dib has proven that the Stone of Destiny (a.k.a. The Coronation Stone & Stone of Scone & Jacob’s Pillar) was never returned by the Scots after four of them removed it from Westminster Abbey on “Christmas Day” 1950, also in fulfillment of prophecy. The stone handed to the authorities in 1951 was a fake and Elizabeth II was aware of this when she perpetrated a fraud upon the British people, by having herself crowned upon this fake stone. There were no specific camera shots of this stone, and she demanded no shots closer than 30 feet, so people couldn’t see that it wasn’t the real Stone. This means that she is not the rightful monarch of Britain, and moreover, has broken the Coronation Oath she took, in which she vowed to uphold God’s Law, which prohibits the monarch (or anyone else) from making up new “laws”, or taking away from God’s Law. The real Stone will eventually re-surface so that the Rightful King can be crowned upon It. Bertie Gray, the stonemason who made two copies of the Stone, confessed on his death-bed that they had not returned the real Stone. Bertie’s children confirmed this in 2008.
- Muad’Dib
has located the exact spot marking the entrance to the chamber which is
the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, at the Hill of Tara in
Ireland. For over 10 years He has been campaigning to be allowed to dig
down some metres in a space not more than 2m x 2m. Obviously, this, and
He, have been a thorn in the side of the Irish authorities, who do not
want to permit the Ark to be recovered because it doesn’t form part of
the N.W.O.’s plans. Quite the opposite, It is a tool which will help to
defeat them. This could also explain the seeming eagerness of the Irish
authorities to comply with the false British charge and extradition
request against Muad’Dib, because He was not going away until He had
recovered the Ark, also in fulfillment of prophecy.
The real power behind the N.W.O. is not any human, but Satan, and the N.W.O. is his evil mimic of God’s Kingdom on Earth. All attempts to thwart or defeat Satan’s N.W.O. are doomed to fail, UNLESS they are GOD’S WAY of doing it. The ONLY Person on Earth who knows Father’s Will and is actively living It, is Muad’Dib. Your only chance of survival is through helping Him, to prove, without a shadow of a doubt, whose side you are on. As these End-times get progressively worse, in fulfillment of the Warnings delivered to mankind through God’s Prophets, the Truth of this will become clearer and clearer, even to those who are still sleeping in the dust of the earth (inside Adams and Eves) and have not awakened spiritually.
“We Fremen have a saying – God created Arrakis (the Earth) to train the Faithful. One cannot go against the Word of God (and live)” – DUNE.
An epic story is being written in the Book of Life. HIS (God’s) Story (History). You who are reading this MUST choose who you will be in the story. The sleeper MUST awaken. There is no room in the Book of Life for fence-sitters.

TERROR ON THE TUBE
by PR NICHOLAS KOLLERSTROM
Morning Star Review
MAINSTREAM BBC PROPAGANDA
The BBC was under attack last night for paying expenses to a disgraced academic who says the 7/7 London bombings may have been an intelligence agency conspiracy.
Families of victims denounced the move as appalling.
As part of his 'research', Nicholas Kollerstrom rang one father to discuss whether his daughter's body had been planted at the site of the Tavistock Square bus bombing.
Dr Kollerstrom, 61, who also denies the Holocaust, is due to appear in a programme in the BBC's Conspiracy Files series.
His theory is that the Al-Qaeda inspired bombers were 'innocent patsies', set up by elements of the Israeli, British and U.S. security agencies.
The BBC has admitted paying Dr Kollerstrom expenses, including the fare from London to Luton, where bombers Mohammed Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Jermaine Lindsay and Hasib Hussain caught a train to King's Cross before the 2005 attacks which killed 52 innocent people.
The corporation's move has astonished the families of those who died or were injured.
'For the BBC to actually fund somebody like this is totally disgraceful,' said John Taylor, whose 24-year- old daughter Carrie was one of seven killed by Tanweer. 'He is helping the terrorists more than anything and I am not happy with the BBC giving him a platform.'
Sean Cassidy, whose son Ciaran, 22, died in the Russell Square blast, said: 'It is appalling. The families are aware of this man and are trying to avoid him. He has caused a lot of upset.'
The scene at Tavistock Square after the bus exploded. Mr Kollestrom believes the bombing was a conspiracy
He claimed the Nazi concentration camp was like a holiday complex where inmates could sunbathe beside a swimming pool and watch water polo matches.
The BBC defended its use of Dr Kollerstrom and stressed it only paid expenses such as the £8 train fare to Luton, where he filmed an interview for the programme.
A spokesman said: 'The Conspiracy Files series investigates whether there is any truth to the many conspiracy theories which have grown up around terrorist attacks.
'Nick Kollerstrom has advanced a number of theories which will be investigated in detail by the BBC. His view of the Holocaust will be scrutinised in the programme. He has not been paid by the BBC.'
Dr Kollerstrom admitted phoning the family of one victim but said he had not wished to cause offence. He said he was researching 'anomalies' highlighted in a newspaper article which suggested the father believed his daughter's body had been planted.
He added: 'The last thing I want to do is cause grief to a family. But they did go public and I thought they wouldn't mind someone querying them about public statements they made.'

7_7 CANARY WHARF MURDERS CONFIRMED
New support for Canary Wharf story
October 22, 2010 NK 10 comments
On 11th October (the day the 7/7 Inquest began), ‘Huggles’ recalled how he had been at King’s Cross station when it all happened:
If you’re new to the Canary Wharf story, maybe watch the fifth chapter of Muad’Dib’s Ripple Effect. The story often comes with dramatic accounts of how the entire Wharf was ‘locked down’ and 8000 workers in the 44-storey tower were told to stay away from windows and remain in the building for ‘at least six hours.’ By the evening the police were trying to dismiss the whole thing.
For comparison, here is a fairly well-known version of the story, reported Down Under:
I was in Kings Cross right after the Piccadilly line blast and there was no problem calling into work to tell my boss that I would be late [a propos of whether mobile phones were working]. I then went into cafe to wait for the hubbub to die down. Over the radio we discovered that it was more than one bomb.The site owner Kevin Boyle asked him whether he had personally heard that Radio 5 news announcement, and ‘Huggles’ replied:
Just over an hour and a half later, there was a report on Radio 5 that some of the bombers were shot by armed response units in the Docklands. When I got home that evening, the news reports said that all the bombers died in the explosions.
Kevin,Is this the first mention of a Radio 5 news-announcement, on the 11 o’clock news that morning, of this shooting, at Canary Wharf in the Docklands, of maybe three young men? For comparison, British philosopher Rory Ridley-Duff at Sheffield compiled 17 accounts from the media of this event at Canary Wharf having happened. In addition there are a few more in Appendix 3 of my book. Does anyone else recall such a news-announcement that morning?
I heard it on the radio but when I got home and I sat in front of the tv for the rest of that evening, it was not repeated. It was in the cafe I heard the news report.
If you’re new to the Canary Wharf story, maybe watch the fifth chapter of Muad’Dib’s Ripple Effect. The story often comes with dramatic accounts of how the entire Wharf was ‘locked down’ and 8000 workers in the 44-storey tower were told to stay away from windows and remain in the building for ‘at least six hours.’ By the evening the police were trying to dismiss the whole thing.
For comparison, here is a fairly well-known version of the story, reported Down Under:
A New Zealander working for Reuters in London says two colleagues witnessed the unconfirmed shooting by police of two apparent suicide bombers outside the HSBC tower at Canary Wharf in London. The New Zealander, who did not want to be named, said the killing of the two men wearing bombs happened at 10.30am on Thursday (London time).If it happened, it was an operation ‘Kratos’ job, whereby certain senior police officers are (shockingly) permitted to shoot a member of the public in the head, if they are deemed to be a ‘suicide bomber’ and about to blow themselves up. Thus the above report has the two people shot because they were ‘wearing bombs’ – that judgement is necessary for a Kratos shooting to take place – compare the De Menezes shooting where early accounts had him with a ‘bulging’ raincoat as if they were trying to make out they thought he might be ‘wearing bombs’ as their excuse for shooting him in the head on 22 July 2005 at Stockwell tube station.

Ripple Effect Story Remains Intact
created 17.10.2010 - 10:35, updated 17.01.2020 - 12:21
Dear Muad'Dib,
I've been going to the 7/7 Inquest. It seems to me that corroboration of the basic Ripple thesis is taking place! Here is something I have written....
(might want to put it on your website?)
yours truly, Nicholas
Ripple Effect Story Remains Intact
I've been rather sceptical over whether the Four really were in London that morning. But, on the afternoon of Thursday 13th October, all of the CCTV showing Hasib Hussein at King's Cross was shown at the Inquest. There was a lot. Its clear that he was really there - I was convinced at last. From 8.55 to 9.22 he was shown pottering about with his big rucksack.
I suggest this makes it unlikely that the Four had caught the 07.25 train from Luton, arriving at 8.23 - in that case he would have appeared on film a lot earlier. No, Let's say they got the 7.42 (actually the delayed 7.30) which arrived in King's Cross 8.39 - that would fit better with his appearance on the CCTV at 8.55 in the main King's Cross station area.
It gets better. On the day before the Wednesday the Met at last released their non-pixellated images of entry into Luton station, so the times could be read. On the earlier visit of 28 June, (three of them - no Hasib Hussein) it took five minutes from the car-park door of Luton through the station and down onto the platform - which seems about right:
28/6 08.10.07 Enter Luton, 08.14.26 Go through barriers, 08.15.07 Enter platform
Various people have tried doing this, and generally reached a similar estimate. Now, on the moring of 7/7, we are given:
7/7 07.21.54 Enter Luton, 07.22.29 Ticket hall, 07.22.43 Go through barriers, 07.23.27 On platform, 07.24.47 Train arrives, 07.24.56 Board, 07.25.36 Train leaves
7.22 they enter, and a minute and a half later they are on the platform. No way!
They cannot take only half the time carrying big, deadly rucksacks. Don't forget, for a whole year all the media and the Met were singing from the same hymn-sheet, all saying that they had gotten onto the 7.40. Don't forget, even Andy Hayman's 2009 book on the whole subject had still said they got the 7.40 - this would be unthinkable if they really had had all of the CCTV they are now pretending to have, showing the Four caught the 7.25. (Credit to Bridget Dunne for this vitally important insight)
Plus, they are now pretending to have witnesses on the 7.25 train who noticed them - just as in the 2006 Official Report they had witnesses on the 7.40 train who recognised them. It's baloney.
I suggest we are obliged to conclude, that if they really did enter Luton station at 7.22, as the famous (fiddled-with) picture shows, then they had absolutely no intention of catching the 7.24.
So, this takes us right into the Ripple Effect story, whereby the Four 'missed their train' or at any rate more or less caught the 7.40 they had intended to catch (the 7.42, arriving 8.39), and arrived too late to participate in the terror-drill that morning - which was what they came for.
That I suggest is the only story now left standing.

Dear Nicholas,
Bless you!
I hope this finds you well, in good spirit and having a god day.
Thank you very much for your message, commitment to truth, dedication and perseverance.
I'm as certain as I can be, without having been involved in the planning, that what I put in 7/7 Riple Effect is exactly what happened and that is why they had to react to it and couldn't just ignore it like they normally do.
I have them bang to rights and THEY know it, which is why THEY are attacking me to try to make an example of me to shut others up, as they KNOW they can't shut me up.
I will most certainly send it to "Friends of Muad'Dib" for them to put it up there. Please keep up the good work. We will win in the end as long as we stick at it and together.
I hope you have a good and well-deserved weekend.

I CONFIRM THAT
Charles Pasqua is one of the many henchmen of the French Kosher Nostra (FKN). The Judeo French Death Squad Unit called RAID is operational in many French occupied Central and Northern African countries. The French GLADIO Terrorist Networks scavenging France and North Africa (OAS Algerian Jews aka Pieds Noirs or “Black Feet” all of them work in close cooperation with the Terrorist Israeli Killing Machine.
If the US and the UK always get away with false flag operations blamed on Muslims and Arabs, I KNOW FOR SURE that French Muslims including the RACAILLE (product of French Cultural Terrorism and State oppression) will raise hell in Europe if the Money Jews are not stopped in time.
Before I had read anything about this MOSSAD false flag operation, I knew already at the very second I learnt about it that it was a State sponsored false flag operation with MOSSAD links like the MUMBAI MOSSAD-RAW-CHABAD LUBAVITCH ATTACKS! I am glad to read that Richard Cottrell finds it “extremely doubtful if Merah had anything to do with the tragic murders of the Jewish rabbi, his two children and another small girl, as well as the attacks on the off-duty paratroopers with North African and Caribbean backgrounds”. But, I have more than serious doubts!
COMPARE
the declaration of “the retired former director of DCRI (La Direction Centrale du Renseignement Intérieur, the French Internal Counter-Espionage Agency)”, Mr Yves Bonnet who declared to the main daily paper in Toulouse, Dépêche de Midi:
“He [Merah] was known to the DCRI. Not especially because he was an Islamist, but because he had a correspondent in domestic intelligence.”
“When you have a correspondent, it’s not completely innocent. This is not trivial.”
