Ludicrous Diversion - 7/7 London Bombings Documentary

Getting sidetracked from what I was originally doing into following a series of links through successive webpages (as one does!) I finally ended up watching this excellent documentary about the London bombings.

The accompanying text describes it as follows:

On the 7th of July 2005 London was hit by a series of explosions. You probably think you know what happened that day. But you don’t.

The police have, from the onset of their investigation, chosen to withold from the public almost every bit of evidence they claim to have and have probably lied about several aspects of the London Bombings.

The mainstream news has wilfully spread false, unsubstantiated and unverifiable information, while choosing to completely ignore the numerous inconsistencies and discrepancies in the official story.

The government has finally, after a year, presented us with their official ‘narrative’ concerning the event. Within hours it was shown to contain numerous errors, a fact since admitted by the Home Secretary John Reid. They have continuously rejected calls for a full, independent public inquiry. Tony Blair himself described such an inquiry as a ‘ludicrous diversion’. What don’t they want us to find out?

But that really doesn’t do it justice.

For not only does it raise important questions about the bombings and the events that followed therefrom, it also addresses some much more profound issues that touch upon all our lives (here in the UK at least).

This is a documentary you absolutely owe it to yourself to see… and sooner rather than later!

Planted Propaganda
It’s a bad idea, whether or not it violates regulations. Too bad the Pentagon won’t say that.Monday, October 23, 2006; Page A20

THE DEFENSE Department inspector general has concluded that having a Pentagon contractor secretly pay Iraqi journalists and news organizations to run positive news stories about the war doesn’t violate any laws or regulations. It’s almost impossible to tell whether that conclusion is correct: The scanty, two-page summary released by the Pentagon provides no details about the activities of the contractor, the Lincoln Group, the contract under which it was operating or the applicable rules.

We won’t dwell too long, though, on the irony that an assessment of the military’s secret propaganda operations is itself — except for the largely exculpatory conclusion — secret. The more important point is that, assuming the inspector general’s legal assessment is right, it only makes the problem worse. The U.S. government has a legitimate interest in conveying its point of view. The problem is when it does so in secret. The government shouldn’t be in the business of covertly peddling propaganda — especially in a war based on the notion of seeking to export democratic values such as, say, a free press.

» The David Kelly “Dead in the Woods” PSYOP - RINF Alternative News

I promise I’m really not a conspiracy nut but at the time I, and everyone I talked with, was utterly convinced that there’d been some sort of cover-up over the alleged “suicide” of David Kelly. Not to put too fine a point on it, I was hard-pressed to find anyone who accepted it actually was suicide.

And if it wasn’t?… well, that raises a whole lot of other very tricky questions, doesn’t it?

Anyway, I’ve been reminded of that nasty little affair by just having read this article…
