Ie if that's the case who put Peter Power up to lying live on TV on 7/7 itself?
He's a key suspect to question whichever way you look at it. |
"Red Herring", like this Tony:
"a false protagonist is a literary technique, often used to make the plot more jarring or more memorable by fooling the audience's preconceptions, that constructs a character who the audience assumes is the protagonist but is later revealed not to be."
And Ambiguity:
"Ambiguity of words or phrases is the ability to admit more than one interpretation. It is distinct from vagueness, which is a statement about the lack of precision contained or available in the information."
If people push the idea that it is not significant, it plays into the false protagonist technique. Which is what people are doing by saying it is not significant.
*But unfortunately the fooling of the audience's preconceptions, which the audience assumes is the protagonist but is later, revealed not to be.
And a false flags purpose is to frame people and to lead people astray when covering for people who were involved with the bomb planning, it would be advantageous for them to promote the meme of the drill and "Peter Power's statement" as cover and at the same time promote the terrorist meme.
*
Untill it meets Occam’s Razor. |

This is where I came in at - and this statement is false as it was stated that there were other drills that day (which J7 included in their submission to the 7/7 Inquests) - and that we only weren't interested in constructing alternative narratives that could not be evidenced, such as 'Peter Power recruited the 4 men for a drill that day' (ala 7/7 RE).
There is evidence though for Martin 'Abdullah' McDaid, Mohammed Junaid Babar and Muhammed Quayyam Khan being linked to at least 2 of the 4 accused. Sad thing is, this information was wasted on those already transfixed and obsessed with Power's statement - and this point has been shown clearly on this thread. Open minds are useful in researching and analysing the actual evidence, not just rusty old razors. _________________ 'The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

False, what is wrong with asking the question of patsy or accomplice as many have? With unbelievable odds via Occam’s Razor for it being an inside job, false flag.
Quote: | There is evidence though for Martin 'Abdullah' McDaid, Mohammed Junaid Babar and Muhammed Quayyam Khan being linked to at least 2 of the 4 accused. |
That's fine, it takes nothing away from Occam’s Razor of it being an inside job, false flag with unbelievable odds.
If your saying let it happen rather than made it happen, it’s a false dichotomy because if you let it happen, effectively (and at least, offered no reprove, admonishment) you have made it happen by intention, and the guilt is the same.
Quote: | Martin 'Abdullah' McDaid, Mohammed Junaid Babar and Muhammed Quayyam Khan |
Also if they were linked to Mi5/6 etc I.E. working for them, and also linked to any of the 4 would they the 4 want to murder their own country men and other Muslims that could be on the tube-trains, and bus? And get blown up at the same time? |

Also that statement about scubadiver's statement is false because you have taken it out of context I.E. "They aren't interested in Powers' statement which I personally think is incorrect .................Are J7 limited hangout or they just being too overly cautious?"
All you have confirmed is that you will not consider "Powers' statement"
And further "there were other drills that day" this does not take anything away from the unbelievable odds via Occam’s Razor and "Powers' statement" for it being an inside job, false flag.
--------
"And a false flags purpose is to frame people and to lead people astray when covering for people who were involved with the bomb planning, it would be advantageous for them to promote the meme of the drill and "Peter Power's statement" as cover and at the same time promote the terrorist meme."
Which would be so important to them for people to do this below. Knowingly or unwittingly.

Andrew I posted the links to the J7 website on Power and despite all your attempts to state otherwise, all J7 are saying is: we are not interested in constructing alternative narratives that cannot be evidenced such as 'PP recruited the 4 men for his drill'. Get it? Now get off my back. I have no problem with you constructing any scenario you want, I have only bothered with this thread as it contains yet more attacks on J7.
The fact is that J7 come under attack more often than not from those who also claim to be interested in the truth of the events of 7/7, but in reality are only interested in maintaining the conjecture of 7/7 RE. This was the danger of constructing an alternative narrative and something we warned of when 7/7 RE was released:
Quote: | I think it is significant that the opponents of J7 have persistently used the taunt of "what do you think happened then?"; quite recently someone posted on another forum that we don't put our money where our mouth is. This is a trap. As soon as an alternative is put forward, the focus shifts from examining the official account to examining the alternative account | . _________________ 'The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

But many people are saying correctly (imho) there is overwhelming evidence via "Powers' statement" and Occam’s Razor. But it's your choice, which is fine, this is a public forum and people can make their own minds up.

I'm not attacking you, just giving critical debate to help each other, which is what all this is about is it not? And of cause you can do it your way, it's your choice right or wrong. Wrong, imho.
Quote: | con·jec·ture (kn-jkchr)
n.
1. Inference or judgment based on inconclusive or incomplete evidence; guesswork.
2. A statement, opinion, or conclusion based on guesswork: The commentators made various conjectures about the outcome of the next election.
v. con·jec·tured, con·jec·tur·ing, con·jec·tures
v.tr.
To infer from inconclusive evidence; guess.
v.intr.
To make a conjecture. |
Using evidence and Occam’s Razor is not guesswork but probabilities that are not conclusive but a line of questioning and provide overwhelming probabilities, rather than an agnostic view expecting criminals to come clean. It’s a way of putting pressure on the criminals and a way of encouraging others to reveal hard evidence.
So what is so wrong in helping each other and using evidence and Occam’s Razor? |

See above posts please prole. And I was appealing to any compassion within you, with a little tough Love as I really care more about you than you seem to perceive. If you really want to know what I do as you asked, I’ll compose a short letter and post it here. |

Tony,
I disagree, or at least question what you mean by 'inside job'.
If it is a red herring then it's evidence of a false flag, i.e. someone other than the four alleged being responsible for the bombings. But 'false flag' is not the same as 'inside job'.
'Inside job' would presumably mean someone within the British state being responsible, which is a contention that isn't affected in any way by Peter Power's statement being a red herring.
I think it is important to distinguish between such terms and not just use them interchangeably.

conspiracy analyst wrote: | There were training exercises during 9/11 and during 7/7. But were there any in the Madrid bombings or the bombings in Mumbai? |
There was an exercise in the days before the Madrid bombings. There was no exercise in Mumbai. Likewise there was no exercise during the false flag bombings by the CIA during their coup in Iran in '53, or in most of the attacks carried out as part of Gladio, or during any of the Irish attacks that in some way involved the British state. There was an exercise shortly before the 1995 OKC bombing.
What is perhaps most significant about the 'false flag exercise theory' is the way in which those who advocate it tend to ignore the double agents. Thus, the people claiming to be making the case for state involvement in these atrocities are overlooking the strongest evidence linking state agents to the attacks. Is it possible that, however true the exercise hypothesis might be in SOME instances, that as an overarching theory it functions as disinformation, as a limited hangout? |

I don't know, you tell me. But it's irrelevant in any case, for two reasons:
1) Peter Power's exercise did not involve all the exact same locations - when pressed for further details he eventually issued a statement saying his exercise was based around simultaneous bombings at Kings Cross (obvious target), Liverpool Street (obvious target) and Russell Square (reasonably obvious target). He said nothing about Edgware Road or Paddington. He said nothing about a bus bombing. So, of 7 locations (tube stations either side of three bombings, and Tavistock Square for the bus bombing) he got 3. Three out of seven. Not bad, but not 'the exact same locations' as claimed by yourself.
2) There is no little evidence that the three who allegedly bombed tube trains (Khan, Tanweer, Lindsay) ever got beyond Kings Cross. None were pronounced dead at the scenes. The accounts of the bodies recovered do not match the stated locations of the blasts within the carriages. The accounts of the pieces of bodies recovered do not match the account of the forensic anthropologist who determined that they were likely to be suicide bombers.
Put simply, to make this easy for you, I'm not answering your question because it's a stupid question.
Quote: | What is the likelihood that four men agreeing to participate in Peter Power’s (or whom ever) mock terror exercise would travel to the four locations on the same day at, roughly the same time?
It is not just highly likely it is almost certain, Occam’s Razor applies. |
There are any number of possible scenarios by which four men (three men) could be convinced to travel (be alleged to have travelled) to the exact same locations (some of the same locations) as the exercise. The 'they were recruited as part of the exercise' theory is only one possibility.
So, far from 'almost certain', the second option in your dialogue is only 'one possible explanation'.
As to Occam's Razor - that only applies if all other issues are equally balanced, e.g. if two theories are equally good at accounting for the available evidence, have equal explanatory value, are both internally coherent, are both testable and verifiable/falsifiable, have both been tested and found to be verified/falsified, THEN and ONLY THEN does the Razor of 'the simplest explanation tends to be the right one' apply to choosing which theory to advance.
I suggest you look up, read about, and understand Occam's Razor, and the limitations of statistical probability, before making them central planks in your argument.

Stop trying to prove that your desired beliefs are true.

But just random people Tom? Turn up at those Locations and at that time? And there was no contrived narrative? |

I didn't get the impression at all that this book was trying to prove 7/7 RE. NK did not try to demonstrate what he thought actually happened. I thought the writing was very objective throughout. _________________ Currently working on a new website |

It is almost certain you will not guess the date and time, even in this much more simplified scenario.
If Mr X agreed to go to the one station of the planned mock drill at that day and time.
It is certain you will know (if you have been told or planned it) and almost certain that he Mr X other than any problems to delay will get there. |

I know you Christians have a bit of an issue with just being happy to believe what you believe without trying to convince other people that they need to believe it, but please, for my sake, stop trying to prove this exercise hypothesis.

That is if Vinciguerra is Tom Seker, because Vinciguerra is just a name on my computer screen, as would someone calling themselves Tom Seker.
The point is Tom, even from all your suggested random "There are any number of possible scenarios by which four men (three men) could be convinced to travel (be alleged to have travelled) to the exact same locations (some of the same locations) as the exercise. The 'they were recruited as part of the exercise' theory is only one possibility." It was either Random, Planned or Coincidence. And please Tom, stop trying to act all superior in intelligence, and further you do not know how Occam's Razor is applied it seems.
It is also not trying to prove, it's just very large odds and probabilities.
And if it was Random or just Coincidence (any number of possible scenarios) can you give the day and time that has been Planned to coincide with pre-planted explosives in the real and contrived narrative event of the four? (Even if there were no four, but just in the contrived narrative of four?)
Quote: | Assuming this is the PSTV recording, Dr Steve told me they had a technical problem during my bit of the presentation. If I were as paranoid/thick as some people who shall remain nameless, I'd be banging on about the low statistical probability of that happening and alleging that PSTV are a limited hangout... |
There is no need for that Tom, you’re just not as bright as you think you are and are blinded by your own arrogance.
So can we please continue with Occam's Razor from the above? Because you'll most likely say that some just took advantage of the events, which would be a good exercise to go through via the evidence and Occam's Razor?
Quote: | I suggest you look up, read about, and understand Occam's Razor, and the limitations of statistical probability, before making them central planks in your argument. |
And I suggest you look up, read about, and understand Occam's Razor and not "Probability theory" |

For those interested
Quote: | What is the likelihood of four men that would travel to London on the same day at roughly the same time to exact locations selected for a simulated terrorist exercise organised by Peter Power, (or whom ever) if they had not been invited to participate? |
Quote: | I don't know, you tell me. But it's irrelevant in any case, for two reasons:
1) Peter Power's exercise did not involve all the exact same locations - when pressed for further details he eventually issued a statement saying his exercise was based around simultaneous bombings at Kings Cross (obvious target), Liverpool Street (obvious target) and Russell Square (reasonably obvious target). He said nothing about Edgware Road or Paddington. He said nothing about a bus bombing. So, of 7 locations (tube stations either side of three bombings, and Tavistock Square for the bus bombing) he got 3. Three out of seven. Not bad, but not 'the exact same locations' as claimed by yourself.
2) There is no little evidence that the three who allegedly bombed tube trains (Khan, Tanweer, Lindsay) ever got beyond Kings Cross. None were pronounced dead at the scenes. The accounts of the bodies recovered do not match the stated locations of the blasts within the carriages. The accounts of the pieces of bodies recovered do not match the account of the forensic anthropologist who determined that they were likely to be suicide bombers.
Put simply, to make this easy for you, I'm not answering your question because it's a stupid question.
|
So the above (any number of possible scenarios) randomness and/or coincidence can’t be answered. Not because it’s irrelevant but because it would just rely on randomness and/or coincidence to fit the events that actually did happen, even if there were no four. So that is a good answer, it is very unlikely. Thank-you.
Quote: | What is the likelihood that four men agreeing to participate in Peter Power’s (or whom ever) mock terror exercise would travel to the four locations on the same day at, roughly the same time?
It is not just highly likely it is almost certain, Occam’s Razor applies. |
Quote: | There are any number of possible scenarios by which four men (three men) could be convinced to travel (be alleged to have travelled) to the exact same locations (some of the same locations) as the exercise. The 'they were recruited as part of the exercise' theory is only one possibility.
So, far from 'almost certain', the second option in your dialogue is only 'one possible explanation'.
As to Occam's Razor - that only applies if all other issues are equally balanced, e.g. if two theories are equally good at accounting for the available evidence, have equal explanatory value, are both internally coherent, are both testable and verifiable/falsifiable, have both been tested and found to be verified/falsified, THEN and ONLY THEN does the Razor of 'the simplest explanation tends to be the right one' apply to choosing which theory to advance.
I suggest you look up, read about, and understand Occam's Razor, and the limitations of statistical probability, before making them central planks in your argument. |
First that is "Probability theory" not Occam's Razor.
So this group of people that there is lots of evidence for, as a group of people. We just disregard that evidence now do we? But lets go with your “any number of possible scenarios” for them to even “be alleged to have travelled”. It would be randomness and/or coincidence (any number of possible scenarios) and can’t be answered, not because it’s irrelevant but because it would just rely on randomness and/or coincidence (any number of possible scenarios) to fit the events that actually did happen. So that is a good answer, it is very unlikely. Thank-you.
But conveniently it has disregarded any and all evidence for a group of four people and can we ignore any and all evidence for this group of people working together when working with Occam's Razor? No, you have to apply what evidence you have and then apply Occam's Razor.
Quote: | Not bad, but not 'the exact same locations' as claimed by yourself. |
I said:
"They always said "at exactly the same stations" wasn't important." I did not claim he said that; but at least it got some answers and it isn’t important if he didn't. |

Please Tom in all sincerity, humble yourself (me too,) there is a big difference in "Probability theory" compared to Occam's Razor. And this is a public forum for debate Tom, you can believe what you want, but I don't recommend it. |

Andrew,
I would respond to your points, but they are so poorly expressed, and so full of ad hominem and other diversionary arguments, that it's hard to even understand what your points are.
You have asked me for the probability of a scenario for which we have no evidence. It is a waste of my time to attempt to calculate such a probability, because it has no bearing on 7/7. Just as if I asked you to calculate the probability that the four alleged bombers spontaneously combusted in Hyde Park, or decided not to become suicide bombers and all just went for a Starbucks... |

I didn't get the impression at all that this book was trying to prove 7/7 RE. NK did not try to demonstrate what he thought actually happened. I thought the writing was very objective throughout. |
Then I suggest you look up NK's source material and see how he has cherry-picked and misrepresented virtually everything in the book.
During the inquests, NK only reported on those issues that he felt he could weave into the 7/7RE narrative. He ignored all the other questions and issues because he isn't interested in demonstrating that the government's story is false, only in proving his desired narrative to be true.
He is a conspiracy theorist in the most stereotypical sense of the term - and that isn't a good thing. |

No evidence Tom of a contrived narrative? It's not about putting numbers on it and "Probability theory"
Why are you here if the contrived narrative is as the newspapers or government official story says it is? |

You failed the Turing Test again, Andrew.
Um, did you mean: Why are you here if you think the truth is as the newspapers or government official story says it is?
Vinciguerra, of course, thinks nothing of the sort. Your random noise generator seems to have gone haywire. Ask your SysAdmin for a re-boot.
When you are back up consider the possibility the "suicide bombers shot in Canary Wharf" rumour was deliberating started in order to introduce the suicide bomber meme.
A person looking out of an office window in Canary Wharf could see an incident and reasonably report that some-one had been shot. But how on earth could they know it was a suicide bomber?
I hope this input does not crash your operating system. _________________ Follow the numbers
