If 9/11 was the great pretext for the turn to fascism in the USA Londons 7/7 bombings were the enabling act for an Orwellian new reign of anti"-terror in Britain where the Home Office recruits tens of thousands of citizens to fight the "threat of Al-Qaeda". Is there a basis to this frenzy
- or is the government merely terrorising the populace? The answer is here in this craftsmanly masterpiece of detective work. Nick Kollerstrom a private researcher acting on his own initiative has solved the mystery of the 7/7 bombings: something Britains billion-budget security apparatus cant or wont do. Its a compelling investigation & a convincing indictment of the real criminals: the British US & Israeli secret services. Its the demolition of the fabricated evidence they brought into play. Its the posthumous exoneration of the four innocent young men sacrificed & framed to shore up the rule of a crime cabal over this planet. Nick Kollerstrom has single-handedly done for 7/7 what a whole generation of authors did to expose 9/11 -- assembled the body of independent research into a coherent balanced & authoritative appeal to justice. An appeal against the wars of aggression & neo-fascist police state that are underpinned by the propaganda trick of false-flag terror."

A three thousand year history of the occult & its relationship with the phenomenon of terrorism for the purposes of fomenting a Clash of Civilisations & a New World Order". Islam is no threat to the West. On the contrary Islamic terrorism is a phantom created to serve Western imperialistic goals. Terrorism itself is expressly forbidden in Islam. Such terror groups as exist are artificial & intertwined with Western power through a network of occult secret societies that date back to the Babylonian Kabbalah of the 6th century BC & a plot to rule the world by magic & deception. Under Herod the Great a series of dynasties arose who imposed a corrupt version of Christianity upon the Roman world. During the Crusades their association with the Ismaili Assassins formed the basis of what is known as Scottish Rite Freemasonry. When Napoleon conquered Egypt these Freemasons reconnected with their brethren there sparking developments like the Occult Revival of the late 19th century the Salafi reform movement of Islam promoted by Saudi Arabia & Nazism. They founded the Muslim Brotherhood a collective of impostors run by the CIA to further the scheme for world domination. Appearances belie reality. In fact the Muslim nations are the victims of terror from the West. With their near-complete control of the media the powers that be have instilled an inverted image of the real world." ...
