Welcome to InvestigatingtheTerror.com, a research site on terrorism and the philosophy and politics of fear.

Here you will find my documentaries 7/7: Seeds of Deconstruction, which examines questions and conspiracy theories about the July 7th bombings, and 7/7: Crime and Prejudice, which investigates the 7/7 cold case in light of new research and evidence from the July 7th Inquests.

You will also find articles presenting my own investigations and analysis, and an ever-growing archive of documents to help you investigate the terror for yourself.

I will be adding to this site on a regular basis in the form of new articles, new additions to the document archive, and new documentary films.

A brief history of suicide hijackings - Part II

In Part II of this series we look at the case of Frank Corder, who flew a stolen plane into the White House on the night of September 11th 1994.  The crash was predicted by films and novels, and FBI files yield further questions about the predictability of the attack and the possibility of a wider conspiracy.  Read article here.

Spies and Lies - a conversation with Brit Dee

In this discussion Brit Dee of ResistRadio.com and I talk about the latest underwear bomb plot courtesy of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the anniversary of the supposed Osama Bin Laden killing, and the case of murdered MI6 officer Gareth Williams. Listen or download here.

Resisting the Terror episode 4

In this show we look at the use of HUMINT - human intelligence - in counter-terrorism operations.  We analyse the portrayal of the security services in the second episode of the BBC's Modern Spies, and consider the case of would be shoe bomber Saajid Badat.  Listen or download here.

22/7: A Strategy of Tension - A Conversation with Brit Dee

Resisting the Terror episode 3

In this episode we look at the 22/7 massacre and the Anders Breivik case. We consider how the attack and the media response has exacerbated cultural and political tensions, and whether this was the overall purpose of the attack. Listen or download here.

Resisting the Terror 1&2

The first two episodes of Resisting the Terror radio are now available, now broadcasting every Sunday evening at 8 p.m. on ResistRadio.com. In episode 1 I looked at the Clayton Osbon Flight 191 incident and a Spooks production feature relevant to the question of predictive programming. In episode 2 I explored a recent BBC documentary including new material on Spy/Terrorist Junaid Babar, and a fake news broadcast produced for a terrorism training exercise that predicted 7/7. Listen or download here.

Interrogating the Programming - A conversation with James Corbett

In our latest conversation James Corbett of corbettreport.com and I discussed the question of predictive programming, particularly with regard to intelligence agencies.  From Somerset Maugham and Leon Uris to reality TV shows like Big Brother, Border Patrol and Spy we went over not only examples of predictive programming, but also methods for analysing and understanding the phenomenon. Listen to or download the conversation here.

7/7: Intelligence failures and double agents

This is a presentation I gave at the March 2012 Crimes of the 1% conference organised by reinvestigate911. It mostly covers the story of pre-7/7 investigations into Martin McDaid and the Iqra bookshop in Beeston, a suburb of Leeds. The 'intelligence failures' around the McDaid/Iqra investigation had the consequence of protecting the relationship between McDaid and two of the alleged 7/7 bombers - Mohammed Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer.

The Nazi Pigeon Controversy

To this day pigeons are used for spying and covert warfare.  This practice has on occasion caused major international controversy.  I recently found myself swept up by the maelstrom that often results from the use of our feathered friends by the intelligence and security services.  Read article here.

A brief history of suicide hijackings part I

The suicide hijacking is a terrorist tactic with a much longer and more elaborate history than many people realise. Even those in the 9/11 truth movement are largely unaware that its history goes back nearly 30 years prior to the attacks on the WTC and Pentagon. The first article in this series looks into the case of Samuel Byck, who attempted a suicide hijacking in 1974 with the aim of assassinating Richard Nixon. Read article here.
