It's often the case with geopolitical events that things are not always what they seem. If you believe the Official Report on the London Bombings of 7/7, it's probably because you haven't had an opportunity to see the following evidence. The smoking gun may actually be much closer to home than we previously thought. On 7/7 a number of unbelievable coincidences and irregularities took place which should warrant a full investigation and although the responsibility rests on our government and law enforcement to bring this story to light, it is also in the best interests of every member of the public to demand a full and transparent report on these events.
If an independent investigation were to be re-opened, the first call should be made to the heads of Visor Consultants in London. Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a private firm on contract to the London Metropolitan Police, described in a BBC interview how he had organized and conducted the anti-terror drill, on behalf of an "unnamed business client". The fictional scenario that Visor were running that morning was based on simultaneous bombs going off at exactly the same time... at the underground stations where the real attacks were occurring. If investigators were able to find out the name of Visor's unnamed business client, they would be one step closer to explaining what really happened that day.
Long serving members of the Britain's government and intelligence agencies have come out in public and declared the government's involvement in the events of 7/7, but they cries have been virtually ignored by the mainstream press.
In almost identical fashion, a set of 9/11 war games took place, based on hijacked jets hitting the exact same targets at the exact same time as the real events which took place. These war games are generally ignored in the official 9/11 story, and when pressed, the claim is made by officials(like on 7/7) that some of the war games 'helped speed the response' to the situation. Now we can see a real pattern emerging. The media and the 9/11 Commission Report did not dare prepare a full list of all of the war games underway that morning, even though all of them have been mentioned in some sort of official context or mainstream media article. Like on 7/7, it is difficult to believe that it is a bizarre 'coincidence' that the military and CIA were conducting identical war games similar to 9/11 on September 11, 2001. Many other irregularities that don't jibe with the official reports took place on both days, and can easily fill more pages than we have space to write in here. All of these points are available to the public to research on the web.
It would strike any educated person with some common sense, that the odds of identical war games taking place on both those days where the very same 'terrorist' attacks took place- are beyond astronomical. To say that the US and Britain were simply "unlucky" on 9/11 and 7/7 is an almost surreal proposition. Experts have calculated these odds with standard actuary tables used by major insurance companies, to calculate the probability of terror drills and actual attack events coinciding in a 10 year mean and it was "one in 300 pretagillion". That's a number greater than the number of grains of sand on this planet. My answer to the official story: too many questions and not enough answers.
History has proven beyond a doubt that the majority of "Terrorism" and terrorist incidents we have witnessed since WWII are in fact State-sponsored terror. There is now enough official declassified evidence available to the public which document this disturbing trend of "False Flag" attacks by Western Governments. Documented examples include the Reichstag Fire(sparked Hitler's rise to power), Operation Ajax(1953 CIA Coup in Iran), the Gulf of Tonkin Incident(our excuse to escalate the Vietnam War), USS Liberty incident (Israel's destruction of a decorated US ship during the Six Day War) and Operation Gladio- the CIA & NATO's terror operations in Italy which culminated in the infamous Bologna Bombing of 1980. All these events provided the context for a major conflict, the installation of an authoritarian regime, or to further a wider global agenda. In each and every case, the media covered the initial lie, while history eventually revealed the truth. All each case, the government and the media immediately produced a set of terrorists or culprits and in every case, history eventually found them to be innocent of those crimes. In the case of 7/7 and 9/11, the same principles can also apply.
Repeated attempts by the families, first responders and fire fighters of 9/11 to re-open the investigation to events on the day, have all fell on deaf ears. George Bush went on national TV and declared, "Let us not tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories", and Tony Blair echoed his position in Britain, claiming that the nation "are traumatised and must move on from the events of 7/7", in effect squashing all independent attempts to re investigate numerous irregularities on the day. A mainstream CNN poll show that 90% of Americans believe there is a US Government cover-up surrounding 9/11. With this level of public discontent now in the open, perhaps it would be a good time for the people in both the US and Britain to demand a full and open independent investigation into both events and 9/11 and 7/7. With so much at stake, and with so much now invested in our alleged new enemy, brand "Al Qeada", both populations deserve nothing less than all the facts laid out in a transparent manner by our own authorities.
We should all take more than a casual interest in the events on 7/7 and 9/11 because the official interpretation of these events have, in so many ways, reshaped the very fabric of our society and have all but destroyed our Bill of Rights. The hands of our Western governments' intelligence agencies reach into areas which many ordinary members of the public can neither understand nor fathom- yet these are all paid for by our taxes and are meant to be accountable to the people. It's a very dark road we are being led down- if we do not turn the current illusion around. The price we are paying abroad is huge, but the price we are paying at home is practically unknowable. Think about the changes we have seen in our own societies, and where those changes are taking us.
Don't take my word for it. Do your own research and discuss these important issue with friends, colleagues and family. Wake up world.

Yes. Whilst it is still unknown whether they were actually involved in these attacks, they are to blame, at least in part, for their influence in the 'world' of terrorism. al-Qaeda is like a walking advertisement for terrorism, with its leader Osama bin Laden himself bragging about its terrorist activities. In much of the world, the name al-Qaeda is synonymous with terrorism. In undertaking such acts of terrorism, al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations are not only providing would-be terrorists with ideas of how, where and when to carry out attacks, but also promoting them as things that should be done. In short, they are spreading the word of terrorism, making it more accessible, and even if they were not behind these particular attacks, it is difficult to see how the perpetrators could not have been influenced by them in at least some way. al-Qaeda is the McDonalds of terrorism, the market leader, and whilst not all fast food joints are McDonalds, it is safe to say most have been influenced by them.
