bomb alerts and stuff

the newsdesk next to me

what, all one of them? :)

as for the virgins ... i thought it was round here that someone posted a vastly amusing "72 virgins 'bitterly disappointed'" headline after the failed bombings last week. wherever it was, it made me laff.

Who's Fingerbang? Any relation to Fingermouse?

fingerbang was the boyband formed by cartman in southpark.

...according to a random blogger.

From elsewhere on that site, and about the July 7th bombers:

It's beyond doubt that these four Muslims were framed. They were most likely hired as MI6 spies, sent to Pakistan and then brought back and told they were to take part in an important exercise to test national security. Give them the rucksacks, get them on the trains and then detonate the bombs remotely.

Website that carried al-Qaida claim has connections to Bush family

The server in Houston has intriguing connections. Everyone's Internet was founded by brothers Robert and Roy Marsh in 1998 and by 2002 had an income of more than $30m (now about £17m).

Renowned for his charitable work, Roy Marsh counts among his friends President George Bush's former sister-in-law, Sharon Bush, and the president's navy secretary.

(the headline is from the conspiracy website, the rest of the post a quote from the Grauniad)

It's funny because my former employers - a tiny web-retailing company - host their websites on that company's servers! I just thought we were using a rather cheap hosting supplier - I didn't realise we must have been best friends with the Bush family too!

Hello,

I am the 'random blogger' to which you allude above. My site is www.strangeisnotafruit.blogs.com , firstly thank you for stopping by. The story regarding the odd looking CCTV footage is in fact an interesting case study but not the sum total of evidence showing that the London Bombings were an inside job(far from it). You may also be interested to note that the picture you mention can be found, in identical form as presented on my site, from all mainstream media websites as well official government sites. It may well be an optical illusion though on further study the bending elbow theory is actually highly implausible.

Nevertheless I am not a big fan of grainy picture evidence myself and am not a fan of conspiracy theories either.....accept the ones that are true ;0)

I hope that you will stop by again and review the data on my site, I welcome constructive feedback and only wish to know the truth and expose the liars.

Thanks for your time,

Kind regards

Phil

You are completely mad.

For all intents and purposes you are probably loooking at an edited picture. For more on this story go to www.breakfornews.com , they have run a more indepth expose on the doctored photo.

Please stop by my site again, If you want to hear real questions being asked in regards to the London Bomings and other such evils I asure you you will find them on my site. Hell, you may even find yourself asking questions you didn't even know existed. I'm a man of reason and logic, not a tin foil hat wearer.....in fact hats don't so me at all so being the vain guy I am I would sooner have my brain cooked and filled with instructions from the big eyed grays on who to kill when i reach chapter 5 of 'catcher in the rye' than wear a hat ;0)

Kind regards to all and especially anyone affected by the London Bombings,

Thanks for visiting,

Phil

And obviously that wouldn't have happened unless the person creating the forgery wanted it to be obvious that it wasn't real. So yeah, I think this theory is quite obviously bunk.

Way to go Britons!

(post #1000)

The first picture had shown him at Westbourne Park Tube station wearing a short-sleeved dark blue England football shirt and dark trousers

uh oh! ban football!

Since when did England have dark blue football shirts?

There was a very heavy police presence on the underground this morning. I was quite impressed.

(Some young whippersnapper cut in front of me in the bus queue, even though there were only 5 people in it, but fortunately like most small hooligans he made a beeline for the back, so the choice seat was mine.)

this typo above made me laugh.

Well spotted N_RQ !

Any of you here at all concerned that these supposed suicide bombers bought return train tickets, pay and display tickets, carried all their personal documentation on them. Hardly the way of a die hard suicide bomber is it, appears they expected to be going home.

Woner why they didn't blow up their bombs somewhere far more crowded, surely any trained Jihadist would of wanted to go for mass casualties right? why then a subway train carriage, sealed by steel and seperated from other carriages? don't very smart was it?

Do you find it odd that the media originally told us the explosives were of military design and later changed that to homemade?! quite a big leap don't you think? were the Forensic scientist's new hires do you suppose or perhaps drunk or hire on life?

How did the 'police' manage to decide, from the thoudands upon thousands of CCTV footage and thousands upon thousands of commutors who were the bombers and who were not?

In fact what actual Proof do you have there were any bombers at all?

What do you make of this eye witness claiming the bomb was UNDER the train and not, as suggested, in a rucksack or being carried and/or supervised by an 'asian' man?

Questions questions questions. Never assume anything. It makes and ASS out of U and ME

Your friend,

You're nuts

If they weren't expecting to die then that's extraordinary naivety/delusion/arroganc for all four of them to not expect to be caught - unless that was also the intention.

Going back to the shooting, because a lot of people at the time thought it odd that someone involved in the bomb attempts would still be in the capital the next day, what exactly was the logic/intelligence the police were working from when pursuing de Menezes?

Pick that one out of the back of the net!

Also, were they day return tickets or seven day return tickets, or perhaps even open returns, despite the increased cost? Because if they don't coincide with the alleged seven day parking ticket, I smell a rat.

2-0!

not to mention the scientific credibilities of the media.

Did they get a groupsave and get 4 tickets for the price of 2?

I love the way that when the media were reporting that the explosives were military-style, you jumped on it as proof that it was arranged by the government. Then, after the story changed, you, um, jumped on it as proof that it was arranged by the government.
