London Bombings - Web of Deceit: Peter Power, The Terror Drill, Giuliani and
The CIA

Steve Watson | July 16 2005

As we revealed last week
<http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2005/090705bombingexercises.htm> ,
on the very morning of the Bombings, a consultancy agency with government
and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that
revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times
and locations.

On a BBC Radio 5 interview
<http://www.prisonplanet.com/audio/090705exercise_clip_2.mp3>  that aired on
the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, a former Scotland
Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch, now
Managing Director of Visor Consultants
<http://www.visorconsultants.com/index.html> , which bills itself as a
'crisis management' advice company.

Power was quoted as saying "At half past nine this morning we were actually
running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based
on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it
happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck
standing up right now"

Beyond the unbelievable "coincidence" of this scenario, the very fact that
the bombs in the drill were simultaneous is a smoking gun because almost a
week went by before it was revealed
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4666591.stm>  that the bombs had gone off
simultaneously.

The importance of this drill cannot be understated. This is precisely what
happened on the morning of 9/11/2001. The CIA was conducting drills
<http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2004/080904wargamescover.htm>
of flying hijacked planes into the WTC and Pentagon at 8:30 in the morning.
The two scenarios are comparable in that it is a tried and tested method of
navigating around the everyday security services, and, more importantly, if
the perpetrators get caught during the attack or after with any
incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part
in an exercise.

Peter Power has since toned down
<http://prisonplanet.com/Pages/Jul05/120705exercises.html>  his claims in
further interviews, changing his story of the drill to make it seem less
identical to the real attacks. He has also issued a statement via e-mail
<http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2005/130705newdevelopments.htm>
in response to the thousands of requests he is receiving demanding clarity
on the issue, that reemphasizes his backing away from his original
"precisely" comment.

It seems that Power may feel he is in too deep and is backing away from the
whole incident. This is probably due to the fact that Power himself and his
company are not directly involved in the bombings, they have simply been
used as a tool in a larger operation.

Power has been hired by the government before and he is always used to
release information after terrorist incidents in London.

Two previous examples of this are the March 2001 BBC television center
bombing <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1201444.stm>  and the September 2000
rocket attack <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/934937.stm>  on the MI6
building.

Was Power again used by the government as a conduit for information that
would support their official version of events?

Power's comments (below) seem to suggest that his company was somehow
involved in the response to the ACTUAL attacks, so if they were not working
on behalf of London Underground or the Government then how were they allowed
to be actively involved at multiple crime scenes?

In short, our exercise (which involved just a few people as crisis managers
actually responding to a simulated series of activities involving, on paper,
1000 staff) quickly became the real thing and the players that morning
responded very well indeed to the sudden reality of events.

Power is named among the elite of the Business Continuity (BC)
<http://www.henrystewart.com/conferences/january2004/C031206/programme.html>
community, he has regularly appeared on the BBC
<http://www.wcdm.org/wcdm_power.html> , covering terror incidents, as the
"expert" when it comes to managing the crisis. He is also referred to
extensively in a working paper on BC issued by the Bank of England, HM
Treasury and FSA and has written for the British Bankers Association. His
former clients make for interesting reading, they being JP Morgan Chase,
ING, Mellon, Lloyds TSB, Morley Fund Management, Bank of New York, Arcadia
Group, FCO and Universal Music.

Power has also spent time on the Advisory Board to the Canadian Centre for
Emergency Preparedness(CCEP). This is significant due to the fact that a key
member of that board was Richard Sheirer,
<http://www.ccep.ca/ccep_shei.html>  Senior Vice President of Giuliani &
Partners. Here they are listed together
<http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:CZJjCBodTskJ:wcdm.org/wcdm_advs.html%2B
visor%2B%2Bconsultants%2Bsheirer&amp;hl=en> .

Sheirer was intimately involved along with Guiliani
<http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2005/090405gotwarning.htm>  in
the "crisis management" on 9/11. Giuliani himself was in London on 7th July
after traveling down from Yorkshire from a speaking engagement at the Local
Government Association conference in Harrogate, where he received a standing
ovation for praising Tony Blair and hyping the war on terror.
<http://www.yorkshiretoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=55&amp;ArticleI
D=1077572>

Giuliani was also coincidentally only "yards from Liverpool Street station
when the bombs went off." and later that day went on several TV networks
saying that the crisis management teams (Peter Power's team, or so he would
have us believe) seemed like they were expecting the bombing to take place.
<http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,161916,00.html>

Giuliani has met several times with government
<http://www.london.gov.uk/view_press_release.jsp?releaseid=906>  and police
officials <http://www.mpa.gov.uk/news/press/2002/02-016.htm>  in London
since 9/11.

CIA connections

The web of deceit extends further and the connections deepen when you take a
look at the background of the Commissioner of Transport for London, Bob
Kiley <http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/chief_officers.shtml> . Kiley also has
connections with Giuliani.

During his time as President and CEO of the New York City Partnership, the
city's leading business and civic organization, Kiley came into contact with
Giuliani regularly, and was even backed by Giuliani
<http://www.nynewsday.com/news/local/transportation/nyc-libox4335125jul08,0,
6062889.story>  as a candidate for city schools chancellor. Kiley was also a
member <http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/html/99a/pr074-99.html>  of Giuliani's
"Mayoral Task Force on Tax Reduction and Restructuring" in 1999. The two are
also connected through New York City’s deputy mayor for economic development
and rebuilding (after 9/11), Daniel Doctoroff, whom Kiley introduced to
Giuliani <http://magazine.uchicago.edu/0410/alumni/vitae.shtml> .

Kiley was also an advisory to the Mayor's office
<http://www.gothamgazette.com/iotw/traffic/>  on traffic management in New
York, suggesting "eliminating toll booths and just putting transponders on
every car's license plate. That way, motorists would automatically be
charged ever time they rode on a heavily traveled bridge or tunnel -- or
even a highway or major street -- during a time of peak usage."

Early in his career Kiley was tapped by the CIA and quickly became Manager
of Intelligence Operations and then Executive Assistant to the Director.
Kiley served under Richard Helms
<http://www.onpedia.com/encyclopedia/Richard-Helms> , who was appointed CIA
director after JFK was taken out. Helms was the only director to have been
convicted of lying to Congress over CIA undercover activities and served
time in prison. He was heavily involved in the cover up of the MK ULTRA
project
<http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/august2004/050804howbrainwashing.htm>
. As his Executive Assistant, this means Kiley was also intimately involved.

Kiley is also incidentally a Member of the Council on Foreign Relations
<http://www.prisonplanet.com/analysis_hall_061103_cfr.html> . We should be
asking ourselves why is this CIA activist and high member of the
Establishment, in charge of London's Transport network?

The Establishment have their mits all over this latest staged attrocity, you
can carry on probing deeper into the rabbit hole and you always come across
the same elite figures and organizations, hiding in every darkened nook and
cranny.

It's a certainty that as the weeks and months go by more and more
questionable connections will emerge.

Does Anyone Really Believe This Horsesheesh?
British authorities finger patsies within days of bombings, country drinks it up, and it’s like Déjà vu all over again

I got an email with an interesting rumor going around London that just before the attacks, someone was trying to hire Muslims to play terrorists for a terror drill, to try to sneak onto the trains and buses with fake bombs to test out the security.
We know the terror drill was real. We know they were running the drill at the exact same stations the bombings actually occurred.
We know that the accused bombers don't fit the profile of men ready to die for Allah. Indeed it is reported that some of them were not particularly religious.
And we are faced with the strange claim that these men, one of whom had a new family, carried bombs set on timers yet stood there waiting for the bombs to explode.
This makes sense ONLY if they thought they were carrying fake bombs as part of a terror drill. This also explains the nervousness of the man on the bus who had probably just heard of the real explosions and was starting to suspect that the fake bomb he was carrying might not be fake after all.
"Hey you, Muslim person. Wanna make a hundred pounds? You could use that kind of dough, with a new kid and all. We're running a terror drill, and all you gotta do is take this here harmless backpack with a fake bomb inside to work with you tomorrow, just to see if the subway guards catch you or not. Mum's the word, this is national security

btw I am not personally endorsing any of this stuff I know nothing .....

At first glance, MY GOD!  There are several possible scinarios, like a mole, like a conspiracy, like...

The thing I find very odd about this sort of suggestion is that none of the four mentioned to any of their friends that they were taking part in a drill.  I find it very hard to credit that none of them would have talked to a friend/parent/sibling if they were going halfway across the country to pretend to be a suicide bomber.

We know that the accused bombers don't fit the profile of men ready to die for Allah. Indeed it is reported that some of them were not particularly religious.
...so going to Pakistan thousands of miles away for Islamic training makes you not particularly religious?

There may be many odd aspects about these guys as suicide bombers, but this chap doesn't make a very good case.

I think you're right  Phil .. but it is all very odd...
