London bombings.

So, lets get this into perspective.
Let's assume that Loose Change is giving a more true account of what happened. What if the US authorities were responsible and had orchestrated the whole thing for money. They could benefit from controlling more oil at this time when the reserves are starting to fail; and they could control the heroin production of Afghanistan - both being worth absurd amounts of money.
As the fossil fuels run out, the super powers will charge more and more for them and be more willing to use desperate measures to get more. And what about the water crisis that we are regularly being warned about?! One thing's for sure, it's going to get messy.

Anyway, so let's assume that the US government were responsible for 9/11. What does that mean for the 7/7 bombings in London?
These attacks, 3 bombs on tube trains and 1 on a London bus were seen as London's turn.
But who was responsible for them? The UK government? If not, London was in fact the first 'real' Bush related terror attack.

Here's an interesting video on the subject:

One of the main pieces of evidence in this documentary is something that I had heard before. Apparently eye witness accounts suggest that there were no 'suicide bombers'. In fact it would seem that a device was planted underneath the train.
It is also interesting that the 'would be' bombers would have struggled to make it to their different destinations in time with their train running late.

So, perhaps this too was orchestrated by the government? But this time in the UK.
And all to make us afraid; To make us feel reliant on the government; To help force through legislation on ID cards; And to justify the actions of our military in Afghanistan and Iraq.

What happened to the men who were accused of attempting to blow up a further 3 tubes and a bus just 2 weeks later?
I can't seem to find any information on their conviction, just lots of year old articles about their arrest.

I had the bad luck to get caught up in the latest British terrorist scare a couple of weeks ago.

After being tipped off and arresting most if not all of the suspects, there was a worry that planes flying to the US were to be targetted with explosive devices.
As a result, all flights (not just the ones heading to the US) were grounded and various hand-luggage restrictions were put into place.

So a group of terrorists wanting to cause mass destruction, decided to try to smuggle explosives aboard the form of transport with the tightest security.
And to use planes once more? Surely the terrorists would be more original? The train bombings in Madrid were devastatingly effective, so surely even that would have been a better option?

It's strange, but it just makes me wonder whether they were ever going to happen, or whether they were in fact just more 'scares' created by the government to keep us in line. After all, our society is spiralling out of control with increases in crime and disorder. Religion isn't keeping people in place anymore, so perhaps these moral panics are all that the government can use to retain some control?
