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."
