Soho nail bomb, Admiral Duncan pub, London 30/4/1999

This is the forum dedicated to all 'minor' local psyops - phony murders, kidnappings and whatnot. It has now become evident that the news media constantly feeds the public with entirely fake stories - in order to keep us in eternal fear of our next-door neighbours and fellow citizens.

Soho nail bomb, Admiral Duncan pub, London 30/4/1999

Unread post by Euphoria »

Two people were killed and at least 30 injured in the third nail-bomb attack in London in two weeks.

The bomb went off in the Admiral Duncan pub, in Soho, just after 1830hrs. The bar was packed with drinkers at the start of the bank holiday weekend.

The pub was in Old Compton Street, at the heart of London's gay community. Police initially linked this bomb with the previous Saturday's explosion in Brick Lane and the earlier attack in Brixton, which injured 39 people.

Eyewitnesses spoke of a "huge bang" as the bomb went off, hurling glass and debris into the street (really? See below...) Jason Everton had just left his job in nearby Frith Street to buy a sandwich, when he saw the front of the pub "coming straight off".

"There were people running out, all covered in dust and bruises and cuts. It was quite horrific," he said.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/date ... 499249.stm

I note that the police "cleared nearby streets amid fears that there might be a second device," according to the same article from the BBC.

Or perhaps this was just another emergency or 'crisis' drill and the area had already been cleared beforehand?

'He' is pictured here with John Tyndall, BNP leader, bloodied after fighting broke out at the BNP's 15th Anniversary rally in Stratford, East London...If the Soho bomb was a PSYOP, would this implicate the BNP and John Tyndall as government fronts? Or could it be that this scene was set up by a police photographer, unknown to Tyndall?

As we saw with the 1987 Hungerford Massacre, British establishment perps love nothing better than to revisit their favourite hoax events via a professionally filmed TV documentary years later. This time it was the 'Real Crime' (hehe) Series Six installment, 'Nailing the Nail Bomber,' produced by Keith Farrell, directed by Jason Wells, and broadcast for the first time on the ITV network on Tuesday 8 May 2007 at 11pm. You can watch it here:

Despite their pretensions, we know that the perps are not really politically correct. One of the dead victims of the alleged 'blast' at the Admiral Duncan gay bar was a pregnant heterosexual woman named Andrea Dykes(!); I think the evil organisers of this hoax had a good laugh when settling on that name.

This is the only image I can find of 'Andrea Dykes':

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/781097.stm

There was also the amputee Gary Reid:

From the same BBC article as above:

'...Gary Reid, 44, whose leg and middle fingers on his left hand have been amputated...

"I remember looking across the bar. There was no noise. I was still standing.

"I have no memory until five weeks later when I woke up in St Thomas's hospital," he said. (note - the same hospital used to treat vicSims of the fake IRA bus blast of 1996?)

Professor Gus McGrouther, professor of plastic surgery at University College Hospital, who treated some of the survivors, said the injuries were worse than those seen in IRA attacks and among war victims.

Perps of Soho nail bomb PSYOP - The QCs

Unread post by Euphoria »

In the first instance, Nigel Sweeney QC was the prosecutor. The judge was Michael Hyam QC.

Michael Wolkind, QC, defending, said "Copeland had been suffering from a paranoid schizophrenic illness long before the bombings." So, even the defence was eager to portray those with nationalistic or patriotic sympathies as mentally infirm. All the angles were covered here.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2000/jun/3 ... ickhopkins

In the above article we also learn that another prosecution expert, who we have stumbled across before on this forum (see George Harrison home break-in, Barry George, Damian Rreszowski and others) - psychiatrist Dr Philip Joseph - said Copeland "had overwhelming anxiety over his sexual orientation and intense rage and hatred of others that led to extreme views and a desire to destroy".

'...After treatment in Broadmoor high security hospital, he had retained his white supremacist and Nazi beliefs - a clear sign, the court heard, that he was not suffering from a more serious mental illness....'

Now, back to Michael Wolkind QC.

Other 'work' carried out by Wolkind:

The first defendant (Waheed Ali) in the trial of the 7/7 conspirators
Turkish and Libyan 'terrorist' cases
Advised in the Lockerbie bombing
BNP leader charged with causing explosions (Lecomber)
One of the 'Stephen Lawrence' defendants (Dobson)
Tony Martin the Norfolk farmer in his successful appeal
Daniel Hanson, killer of the Chelsea banker John Monckton
School caretaker, Miles Cooper, who conducted a campaign of letter bombings against scientific organisations connected to the government.

False eyewitnesses/Eyewitness SIMs

Unread post by Euphoria »

Gary Shilling (!), 14, said he was helping out on a fruit and veg stall when he heard people say there was a bomb in a holdall. He said in a statement: "I lifted the flap of the bag and looked inside.

"Inside the sandwich box was an alarm clock surrounded by a large number of nails. There were wires coming from the top.

"I picked the bag up and moved it next to Iceland. I walked away and somebody told me not to touch it."

Gary said he got a knife and started cutting Sellotape holding the two boxes together. Then as he walked away it exploded.

"It threw me about five yards. I landed face down and I began crying and someone picked me up. I saw a 3in nail in my boot. I pulled it out and my foot started to hurt."

Above quote: Daily Mirror archive, as recorded here - http://www.bernardomahoney.com/e10/e107 ... ntent.3584

Now, if we assume that Gary Shilling was a real (government employee) eyewitness, rather than a completely fake character, then he would be 28 years old by now (April 2013). There is only one man on the UK electoral roll falling into that category:

Image

His younger brother is also registered at that address:

And below, Danny Shilling:

Of course, I have to recognise that Gary Shilling could simply have been a humorously-named 'SIM' eyewitness conjured up by the scriptwriters as they weaved this drama together. But we know that police/military/legal perps will tell blatant lies under their own identity to lend credence to these stories (as we saw in the Breivik saga with defence attorneys Geir Lippestad and Tord Jordet).

Like I say, it could be entirely circumstantial, but the British Army link to the Shilling family is worthy of note.

Perps?

Unread post by Euphoria »

'...A British Telecom expert with the authority to do reverse directory searches was ordered back to work, and by 9pm, officers had Copeland's address and were checking his criminal record at Winchester police station...'

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2000/jul/0 ... .sarahhall

'...Scotland Yard did know about Copeland before the call from Mr Mifsud. Searchlight, the anti-fascist magazine, faxed Special Branch, through an intermediary, a list of 260 known rightwing extremists at 2pm on the day of the Soho blast.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2000/jul/0 ... .sarahhall

'...As an older teenager, he began listening to heavy metal bands and earned himself the nickname "Mr. Angry." Ryan writes that the staff at his school have no recollection of him during this period. It was as if he had become invisible...'

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2000/jul/0 ... .sarahhall

We see in this Guardian article some more hints as to likely perps, and also doubts over the identity or even existence of the villain (as with Ryan, Breivik and many others).

However, I'm satisfied that the wider Copeland family, at least, are real. All my checks confirm that Jonathan Copeland did attend Yateley School and that he now works for a company in the Camberley area, only a couple of miles away, called Solar Strategies Ltd.

Manager of the Admiral Duncan pub, Mark Taylor

Unread post by Euphoria »

Mark Taylor won an award in 2000 for his 'heroic' acts that day:

Image

I'm particularly interested in the claim that Taylor "suffered severe burns to almost 75 per cent of his body and a three-inch nail was embedded in his left elbow. A tennis ball-sized shard of metal was also buried in his right calf."

"...When he came round he was lying in the middle of the road surrounded by anxious friends and the other wounded..."

Now, if we look back to the press images from the aftermath of this 'event' - pictured at the beginning of the thread - does this description seem consistent with the action scenes from the outside of the Admiral Duncan?!

We're told Taylor took the 'full impact' of the blast, but we are later informed that the main force of the blast was sideways. How, then, did other customers end up on their knees on the pavement outside?

Discrepancies

Unread post by Euphoria »

Carrying on from the previous post, we can also spot a number of discrepancies in the script.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/332743.stm

(Saturday May 1st, 1999)

Image

The barmaid, Veronica, had approached a black hold-all bag in the pub 30 seconds before it exploded.

As she went to go towards it the bomb went off. She said there was a big bang and it was blinding for her, and her hearing was impaired.

Hang on there. Not only has the colour of the bag changed (from blue), but there is now something of a conflict with Mark Taylor's version of events.

And from the same article, we learn this:

'...An eyewitness, Jim Davies, said the scene was so bad it looked as though someone had "thrown a bucket of blood around"...'

Really? So where exactly is all this blood?

"The pub was very busy - there must have been 40 people in there. It looked as though people were blown out into the street."

Yet we are informed that over 80 people were injured in total. Is that really possible, if Mark Taylor took the main force of the blast and there were only 40-ish customers inside the bar at the time?

Dear Euphoria,

Just to say that your valiant, patient efforts at documenting the past psyops of our times are appreciated, at least by myself. The reason why you don't get much response/feedback to your posts is understandable - people tend to be more concerned with more recent/or more "internationally momentous" events.

Keep at it ! :)

If memory serves, I seem to remember this 'incident' leading to the 'culprit's' capture via the use of CCTV.

I remember the Compton St bomb really well because some one very close to me was walking toward it as it went off.

I shan't tell their story, they saw nothing that would help and isn't my story to tell but there was just one thing that I don't think would be indiscreet of me to tell and might help a little in putting the jigsaw together, that was how quickly the Emergency Services arrived. They say Ambulances and Police were there in two seconds, they do say that maybe because they were in shock it just seemed so but it really was as though they were there immediately.

Admiral Duncan plaque 'stolen'

Good find. I am planning to launch a thread on the Bowman 'murder' soon, so I'm glad you brought it up. The BRIT school (now famous for giving us Adele!) has already made an appearance in the 'music as a propaganda tool' thread:

http://www.cluesforum.info/viewtopic.ph ... 0#p2382387

btw, I wonder if this Admiral Duncan expose by cluesforum has caught the attention of the perps?! I just noticed this:

Image

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-22329805 - 29 April 2013

A metal plaque commemorating the victims of a nail bombing at a pub in central London has gone missing. The memorial had been located in a churchyard close to the Admiral Duncan in Old Compton Street, where the explosion took place on 30 April 1999.

Anti-hate crime charity 17-24-30 reported it missing two weeks ago. Westminster Council put another up on the eve of the 14th anniversary.

The Metropolitan Police said the incident had not been reported as a crime but officers have visited the location.

Very dubious.

Bar-maid 'Veronica?'

Interesting. According to the reports, that would be Veronica.

Are you talking about Veronica?

You don't have to give me the surname; I don't expect that. But it would be helpful if I could cross-reference here with the news reports. These are already in conflict, as some claim the bar-maid Veronica was approaching the bag when it exploded, and other more prominent articles state that it was the owner Mark Taylor. However, Taylor would have been unconscious from the blast, so he wouldn't be able to judge how quickly the first responders arrived.

It's not like I'm in a position to fully identify 'Veronica' or track her down without her surname, so I would appreciate it if you could simply confirm that this is the individual you refer to.
