BBC shelve investigation into the crime of the century

[TonyGosling]

The wrong story - 'conspiracy theories' or an investigation into the crime of the century?
Tony Gosling reported on IRA bomb attacks for BBC's Greater London Radio in the early 1990s - but his assessment of the London bombings of 7th July 2005, due to be screened in October, has been shelved.
In early September 2008 transmission of the BBC's first investigative documentary into the deadliest attack on Londoners since the Blitz, the 7/7 London Bombings, was cancelled. Contributors to the hour long Conspiracy Files film were told by producer Tristan Quinn that programme makers had failed to get police and security services to answer allegations ranging from serious incompetence to actual collusion in the attacks.
Contributors were informed in the same week as a much more widely reported announcement. That parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee report into Intelligence Services' foreknowledge in the run-up to 7/7 was also to be shelved, again 'for legal reasons'.
Inconsistencies with the official account of four lone suicide bombers centre around first hand proof of an anti-terror exercise taking place at the same locations the first three bombs exploded, also a warning issued to the Israeli Embassy by Scotland Yard and widely reported by AP and mainstream press outside the NATO zone.
At least six films are circulating on the internet which investigate some of the most serious holes in the official account of that day's events. Some of the filmmakers also attempt to fill those holes with their own speculation.
Ludicrous Diversion takes its title from Tony Blair's words dismissing survivors' calls for an enquiry. Produced anonymously, it appears to be made by TV professionals in their spare time and presents some of the central allegations.
Montreal, The Next Terror Target? was released earlier this year by one of the founder members of the Canadian Action Party. It looks into the 7/7 'drills' in depth and the background of the intelligence software services company, Verint Systems, chosen 10 months before 7/7 to take over security on the London Underground when it was privatised.
Investigative journalists, filmmakers, survivors and victims' families have come together with community groups such as the Campaign Against Criminalisation of Communities (CAMPACC) and the British Muslim leaders in a united call for an enquiry which has been consistently stonewalled by Blair, Brown and Cameron. In the absence of any enquiry it should be obvious that such an attack may well be repeated.
The Homefront is a film by a relative of one of the 7/7 victims. Director Thomas Ikimi makes the point that British courts look into even minor crimes 'so what is the problem on an inquiry into the worst terror attack in UK history?’ Other films: Mind The Gap, BT London Bombings and 7/7 Ripple Effect all raise further questions and inconsistencies in just about every aspect of that day's events.
The most disturbing aspect, by far, of the shelving of this documentary is that, in the absence of any enquiry, the conviction of Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain and Germaine Lindsay for the 7/7 attack has been a 'trial by television'. In the interests of British journalism's professional reputation is about time the dead men's families, survivors and families of the victims had their right to reply.
The refusal of the British establishment to bite the 7/7 bullet may suit US, British and Israeli military objectives. But it may also fuel a domestic anti-Muslim hate campaign the likes of which we have not seen since the 1930s Jewish experience.

7/7 was the greatest crime on UK soil, but I would contend that 9/11 was the crime of the century, followed, of course, by the two illegal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq!!

Regarding the crime of 7/7, Peter Power has stated on the BBC 'Editors' blog that the exercise he was conducting was for a publishing company Reed Elsevier (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2008/06/controversy_and_conspira cies_2.html#commentsanchor ). Of course, this is assuming that this comment was posted by the real Peter Power.

But why would a publishing company wish to run a 'terrorist' exercise?? If they were worried about the effects of disruption for their staff coming to work, wouldn't one do a transport strike, or power failure, especially as no Islamic terrorist attack had occurred before. I think that Power needs to explain more, and failure to do so can only fuel reasonable speculation as to his involvement in this.

Most mysterious, as indeed is everything surrounding these so called 'terrorist attacks'

If you look at their wiki page the company seems to be up to its neck in military matters.

It would not surprise me that if they were running a workshop on behalf of the MOD or other secret squirrel organizations. Generally those type of organizations do not like to book external rooms in their own names for obvious reasons.

Yes, lots here.

Sir Crispin Davis - CEO, Reed Elsevier -

Knighted for services to the information industry. Excellent news. Then he should be able to provide us with a full explanation about Visor Consultants' 7/7 terror exercise with a flash of his toledo steel rapier.

Here's a protest against one of their arms fairs in the UK.

Crispin's outfit finally got the message and gave up doing arms fairs two years after 7/7.

The lack of official scrutiny of that day is what speaks volumes to me. The official "narrative" (isn't a narrative a story?) just has so many gaps in it.

The instant censorship is evidence of how close to the truth we clearly are.
