7/7 Coincidences

Wow, sometimes the level of coincidences in life are amazing! Just as with the U.S. government on 9/11, the British government was conducting anti-terrorist training excercises on 7/7 simulating bombs in transit stations! What are the odds of that? Also, all four closed circuit TV cameras (the UK probably has more of these than anyone) on the bus that blew up didn't work that day. See this in the Daily Mirror (thanks to Humint Events Online for this reference):

Senior Yard sources said: "It will be the biggest, most intensive and focused investigation in British policing history."

British Transport Police have recovered nearly a million used tickets from barriers across the rail network, hoping some will carry the bombers' fingerprints as they travelled into London.

But the investigation received a serious setback when it was discovered the CCTV cameras on the bus that blew up were not working so detectives will not get vital images of the bomber.

One senior Yard source said: "It's a big blow and a disappointment. If the cameras had been running we would have had pin-sharp close-up pictures of the person who carried out this atrocity.

"We don't know if the driver forgot to switch them on or if there was a technical problem but there are no images."

The bus had four cameras - one covering people getting on, the second at the exit doors and one on each deck scanning the length of the vehicle.

Don't you hate when that happens?

Rigorous Intuition http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2005/07/kick-at-darkness.html has this about the first coincidence:

You may by now have read the report that - shades of 9/11 - there were simultaneous exercises in the London subway, at the identical stations, at the exact time of the blasts. You may not have had the chance to read it on Democratic Undergound, because though the original source is an audio clip and transcript from the BBC, it's the polarizing Alex Jones who brought it to our attention. So in the dumper it goes. How lucky for some.

We have more than PrisonPlanet on the story now. Over the weekend, the CBC conducted it's own interview with Peter Power, regarding London's amazing - and eerily familiar - coincidence. Power is Managing Director of Visor Consultants, "which on the morning of July 7 was co-incidentally running a security exercise for a private firm, simulating multiple bomb explosions in the London Underground, at the same stations that were subsequently attacked in real life." (Note: the link is to the program CBC News: Sunday and does not appear permanent. Hopefully one will be forthcoming.)

Researcher Paul Thompson (The Terror Timeline) made the following transcription from the broadcast:

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 realize whether it was real or not.

Another coincidence. Both Bush after 9/11 and Blair after 7/7 refused official inquiries. From Signs of the Times:

After 9/11, Bush refused to have an official inquiry. The evidence at the site of the collapsed towers in New York was quickly removed and shipped to China as scrap metal, so quickly in fact that no investigation was ever carried out on the support structures, an investigation that would have shown whether or not they collapsed due to metal fatigue as claimed by the official story, or whether they had been weakened by explosive charges, as suggested by many independent investigators into 9/11. Many people claim to have heard explosions, and one man says he was in the basement of one of the towers where minutes prior to the plane crash dozens of stories above there was an explosion that took out some of the supports.

There are holes in just about every aspect of the official story, from these in New York, to questions about the "crash" of Flight 93, to the Pentagon, the standing down of North American air defense, and on and on. No wonder Bush did not want an inquiry.

The official commission that submitted its report last summer was to have been the first of two. After Bush's "re-election", it was announced the second would never occur.

All of which raises serious questions about who was in fact responsible for the 9/11 attacks. If you were the president of the United States, and your country was attacked, killing almost 3,000 of your countrymen, wouldn't you want to do everything in your power to find out how and why it happened? If you don't, doesn't that seem a bit suspicious, as if such an inquiry might uncover some disquieting truths?

...We have gone over a bit of "ancient history" because, lo and behold, we find a similar response to the London bombings from Tony Blair. Blair has rejected the opposition's call for an inquiry into the London bombings.

Blair said an inquiry would be a "ludicrous diversion " from the fake manhunt.

One thing the mainstream press has said seems true: The same people who did 9/11 and the Madrid bombings are responsible for the London bombings.
