Fear Is The Mind Killer - A Strategy of Tension

Video Transcript:

A strategy of tension is a policy where environmental co-golfs encourage you off of that suppressed. You choose the associated with government-swarf security apparatus within government and allow or even encourage extremist groups to perform acts of interest in murder and crime. In extreme circumstances, you can even involve an Asian provocateurs and force flag operations where a terrorist threat is outright venting or created. The goal in such strategies is that such a struggle will rally support behind the military or police force posing the radicals. To radicalise opposing movements so that they can be better marginalized what's a metalooxly allied extremist groups to attack enemies of the government. As few organisations would openly say that they are pursuing a strategy of tension, accusations generally come from opponents that such a strategy has been pursued. Do you see this? Put your right hand in the box. What's in the box? Hey, stop. Put your hand in the box. I hold it your neck. A golden chopper. This one kills only animals. Now you're suggesting a Duke's son is an animal. Let us say I suggest you may be human. Your awareness may be powerful enough to control your instincts. Your instinct will be to remove your hand from the box. If you do so, you die. You feel an itching. There. There. Trying to clear the area. Keep going, mate. Keep going, mate. Keep going, mate. We just heard gunshots. We heard a lot of crashes. As we looked outside, the first thing you see again is a lot of fear and confusion with everyone outside the streets. At the beginning, there weren't very many, but very, very quickly within a spend five minutes, an insurmountable amount of police officers, firefighters, ambulances, they all kept running through and kept growing and growing by the minute. Police were telling everybody to evacuate and we were just looking at our windows, seeing what was going on because we just heard gunshots and big crashes. And then they hauled us down and they told us to evacuate. That's six or seven times we heard gunshots going off down street. Each time we're three or four, maybe more gunshots at time. First one probably heard about 10, 15 gunshots. Call started coming in shortly after 10 p.m. local time of people being mowed down by a van on London bridge. We're not sure what's going on. We've heard gunshots. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now the itching becomes burning. So you're going to walk us to where? Where are we? Where are we? I'm not where I'm standing here. Are you hitting me home? Right. Right. Are you hitting me home? If you get me home safe, I'm full of you. Full of you. I know the way I'm supposed to see you. What about we go out and see you? No. No police officers. I don't know. No. Right. This is what I'm saying. Right. I know. This is what I'm saying. All right. Wait. Wait. No. I'm saying. We are chasing suspects around London who want to kill people. There you go. There you go. This is what I'm saying. They are going into buildings looking for people. Okay. You all come together in a place with no exit route. Okay. You are victims waiting to happen. You are victims waiting to happen. All right. All right. Get your stuff and get out of the danger zone. All right. Now. Get it out. Sorry. Just give me one minute. I leave you. Just give me one minute. Just give me one minute. No. No. No. We're not going to take you home. We're going to take you out of the danger zone. Okay. Are you in a car? Is this the same area? Yes. Yes. Which area? Yes. Yes. Which area? Yes. Are you personally in the car? Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, why are we just cars? Why do we just white? I need to know. I need to know. I need to know. I need to know. Guys. I'm going to take you out of this area. Wait, wait, wait. We can take you home. We can take you home. I can take you home. All right. I can take you home. I can't walk into your door. I can't walk into this area. Guys, guys, guys, let's just trust. Let's just... Oh, dad. Guys, let's just trust that they're doing the safest thing for us, all right? All right. So are there trains with train stations over? Where? It's on the main entrance. With train stations over. Where? I don't know how many of them are. What are we going to do? We're just going to get out of this bit and into a state of being. Okay. Yeah, I was just outside to put our markets. And I just saw, certainly, loads of people run away from the market. And there was people lying on the grounds. And there was a taxi driver who had this sort of window down. He was really shouting at people to run. We ran for like 100 metres and then sort of loads of police cars turned up. And there was kind of a period of quite intense gunfire. I hid in a restaurant basement for about an hour. And then we were down there for quite a while. The police told us to get out and then there was more gunfire. I'd say, assuming pretty much, it seems to be left to building. So we've been down there for about an hour and then they've just evacuated us now. This morning guests were allowed back. With some wearing dressing gowns as they hadn't had the chance to gather their belongings when the alarm was raised. The fire alarm went off and we realised that it was a serious fire alarm with all this going on. The fire alarm went off and we realised that it was a serious fire alarm with all this going on. So we were hurriedly downstairs, quite quickly, weren't we? And then over the bridge and the policeman were very anxious for us to move as quickly as possible. They kept saying, go fast, to go faster. They just wanted us to get away from the area. We were very well guided. So all the time we had policemen round us telling us where to go. Heat. About heat. About heat. Silence, silence, silence. Presumably you had tourists on this bus to suddenly encounter all these injured people on the road and on the pavement. And then have officers banging on the door and telling you to run. What was the reaction, not only your reaction, but also the reaction of your guests? Well, to be honest with you, I was more concerned about the guests because I don't flap so easily. But this guy was banging so hard that he probably made the situation worse. But he probably made the situation worse because he was banging on because the door was closed, and he was banging on the door and saying, run, run, run, move, move. And so I said to the people on the bus you need to get off and they heard him shouting. And some of the women were crying, some of the children were crying. And I mean, I asked out bad because they were from all over the world. And they were standing on my bus looking at all these bodies lying all over the place. So I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go to the bus. And I was just wondering if I could get off and go back, And I was just wondering if I could keep getting off and going to the bus. It was a really shocking sight for people on holiday and on top of one of London's most iconic bridges. We just saw like three guys coming to the restaurant with one of them had a big red knife like this. And it came in, it worked around the restaurant. I guess it kind of just stabbed anyone that they saw and knocked off things on the ground and then we just hid. Clearly we have to have a little health warning there. I went this is sometimes think they've seen something describe things in various ways that isn't entirely accurate. We were talking just before we came on air just to some of the production crew here about what happened and one of the crew revealed he was there on the night on Saturday night. It said Bullwint was making his way to Borough Market so he said we'll come on camera. I think it was near one of the pubs there, the white chief. I'm not sure what it was. Which is when everyone was in the massive panic. We were at first didn't really realise what was happening. What did you think was happening? It wasn't a massive majority of people at first. I thought it was just you know, non-people just doing what they do on a Saturday night. He was a small guy like just you know, I just felt the way he was going around. He had this boldness about him. In a sense but like not saying he is bold at all because he isn't but he just the way he goes around, no care at all. Do you have any weapons on? Not for my eyes though. But obviously I was quite far away but I could hear loud Arabic I guess. Language. I heard him say Al-Aba, I can't say. He was shouting. What was he physically doing as you watched him? He was very broad. Just interrogating people. What was going up to people? People were running away. He had no one around him at the time. But then obviously me and my mate were left and as we were leaving, telling people to go we had the gunshots which then I think really put it to realisation. It was a couple of police cars there so it happened about ten minutes before. So it just happened. And that's when obviously we was straight onto our social media to try and find out what's going on straight on to Twitter to try and get some information. Because of that point you had no idea what had taken place. No we didn't know what really happened. We did find out what happened through social media and it was scary. You know it was really scary. I must not fear. And fear is the mind together. And fear is a little death that brings total obliteration. When I was in that area the police were very screaming essentially at pedestrians to get out to clear that area. I hope that you can hear me and I know the same quality will not be great. But I just wonder if you can just tell us. No you're lucky to name me. I can't touch you. I'm sorry about that. While armed officers hunted down the terrorists. I need to press God. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. It gets weirder. I don't know if they're putting on a scene. You know so it looks like they're being tough and they watch this. Only inexplicable. Why would they be surrounded by ten-off season? Instead they take off the run. And then they're just screaming at people that leave. That's very strange. Mainly what they're yelling is for people that leave. And then they're just screaming at people that leave. Mainly what they're yelling is for people that get bad. And as if there's a threat. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out of here. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. I'm going to get out. This is what terror looks like. This is what terror looks like.

In the last few years, we have seen the levisan inquiry, the appalling conclusions of the Hillsborough Independent panel, the death of the Antoninson and the sacking of pieces of our wood, the ongoing inquiry by an independent panel into the murder of Daniel Morgan, the first sacking of a chief constable for gross misconduct in modern times, the investigation of more than 10 senior officers for acts of alleged misconduct and corruption, allegations of rigged recorded crime statistics, the sacking of PC's Keith Wallace, James Glanville and Jillian Weatherly after plebgate, worrying reports by the inspectorate about stop and search and domestic violence. The hern review into the conduct of the Metropolitan Police Special Demonstration Squad, the Ellison review into allegations of corruption during the investigation of the murder of Stephen Lawrence, further allegations that the police sought to smear Stephen's family and soon there will be another judge-led public inquiry into policing. Some figures the police don't like talking about, 1,433, the number of people killed after contact with them since 1990, and zero, the number of police officers to have ever been convicted for those deaths. Last week that zero conviction rate was reinforced after the police officer who hit Ian Thompson minutes before he died was found not guilty. Three days after the verdict and it's the anniversary of another controversial and tragic death at the hands of the police. On the 22nd of July 2005, 27-year-old John Charles Domenezz walked into this train station in South London. It would be his last ever journey, he wouldn't even make it on the train. He had been followed from his home by police, mistaken for a terrorist aspect, they followed him into the station and onto the platform where he was shot in the head seven times. The police were arrested for the murder of Stephen Lawrence, who was shot in the head seven times. The police were arrested for the murder of Stephen Lawrence, who was shot in the head seven times.

MI5's roles to coordinate intelligence plan a response to the IRA team and guide and advise the police as the operation unfolded. Events reached a climax on Sunday March 6th, 1988. A 225 that afternoon, Farrell and McCann were observed crossing La Linea checkpoint on foot by an MI5 surveillance team. A third terrorist, Sean Savage, drove across the border and noticed, later the three met in a park. At around 340, an SAS team intercepted and shot all three dead. Did the soldiers give a warning? They didn't give them that the option of surrendering or defending themselves, they just killed them on it. I think that was not a good thing. I don't think it was right and proper. The MI5 files penned a picture of the SAS team facing a classic dilemma. They said they couldn't risk the parked car being a car bomb or the IRA team drawing weapons. But it turned out that the IRA team was unarmed and there was no bomb in their car. What you have to say is there were plenty of opportunities to arrest those IRA members before they got into Gibraltar. And since they were unarmed, could they have been taken without shooting perhaps? And the final thing you've gone to ask is, do you employ the SAS if you want people to be taken alive? I'm entirely satisfied from looking at files that this was not a shoot to kill. If there had been any deliberate intention to shoot to kill, then press lines would have been prepared to explain why it was that they had been killed. One of the reasons with confusion afterwards is that there was absolutely no government line on why these three people had been shot, which is why ministers contradict themselves the following day. If they had been in deliberate policy, the story would have been worked out in advance. I think that one of the problems that Christopher Andrew has got with this book is that he is a historian who tells the truth. But he's writing the history of an institution and organization that doesn't always tell the truth. In fact, most organizations don't. They have this thing called the institutional truth. It's not what happened. It's what the organization wants the rest of the world to think happened. They may persuade themselves it happened, but it didn't. An inquest absolved the SAS of any wrongdoing. Well, police have been giving more details about their response, saying officers fired an unprecedented 50 rounds at the three attackers, fearing they were wearing suicide devices. One member of the public was wounded in the process. One member of the public was wounded in the process. The police were wounded in the process. The police were wounded in the process. The security manager who was in the area saw three men. He said to me very clearly that one of them had... I can't see from this picture very clearly what those canisters are, but taped to his body. Clearly, that's a very worrying thing. It might be it's there for effect. It might be it does contain... ...these canisters do contain something dangerous to the public. Clearly, that got off if there was some kind of an explosive there. The common armors too, but that didn't form the entire becomes one. That's why it's definitely the thing. Another reason to acknowledge that former press ‫ Back at the van we found 13 mine bottles. They were filled with what we believed to be lighter fluid. Tied around the top of those bottles was remnants of tracksuit bottoms and in the front of the van we found blow torches and what we believe is that those items were going to be used for what I call Molotov cocktails or petrol bombs with a view to being used as part of the attack. The first thing I do is I just literally turn around and just say to the customers like get to the back, get to the back, get to the back. That's when they were all free, like if these men were standing there with machets and some sort of belt on and it just looked at them and genuinely it was very scary. Was there eye contact? Did they look at you? I think there was, it's kind of like it's the only image I've mainly got really now. I just remember looking at them and there's three of them standing there literally like in the restaurant. Did they say anything? Did they have what was the expression on their faces? I remember one saying something to another. There was words, some words, some words, it's muttered to another and from that point is when they moved on. Nothing was said out loud or shouted to us but from whatever we say there it was almost like no, it's not this go there. I think maybe everyone being at the back of the restaurant, it wasn't an easy sort of go in and do that. It would have been quite a complicated for them. The pain! Enough! No, woman child, I've withstood that much. Take your hand out of the box and look at it. Young human. Do it! Pain by nerve induction. A human can resist any pain. Our test is crisis. Our test is crisis. Our test is crisis. Our test is crisis and observation. Did you know what you were running from? We... It was tattooed across all of our faces that there was a terrorist act happening and nobody needed to tell twice. The bar manager who runs Borough, Beastro saw a terrorist stab his friend in the neck but returned to the restaurant to make sure we were okay. He too was covered in blood, he was visibly shaken but he was handing out bottles of water to us to keep us hydrated. Only two days prior Vincent had been trained to know what to do in case of a terrorist attack. What did you see or what's been going on with you for the past hour and a half? People crazy just stay with a knife. Knife? Knife? Just the people and kill it like they don't care about that. He saw that? Yeah, we were in front of them. So how many people did you see? I saw three but three with no... They say it's more than three. I don't know where to put so many people. Well I was in the mudlock pub underneath London Bridge with my girlfriend and two friends and then it's around 10 o'clock or just after a woman in her early 20s sort of staggers into the bar. We could see that she was heavily bleeding from her neck and it appeared to us that her throat had been cut. She then collapsed. So like I said, Nina friend we're having a drink enjoying the sun. When we heard a metallic crashing noise followed by light debris falling down around us now. To get to this particular restaurant you have to walk down a flight of stairs so it's below the road above. We thought it was a road accident and at this point obviously we had no idea of the terrorist attack that was unfolding above us. Now a short time pass before we heard a crowd of people screaming. We then saw this crowd running towards us. Some people were covered in blood. There was panic and terror on their faces and they were shouting that someone was stabbing people with a machete and that we should get off the streets and hide. One of the girls was covered in blood and was understandably distraught as she had just seen another girl attacked with a machete. We'll see at first we didn't know what happened. It wasn't until armed police started coming and someone from outside actually came inside because I was filming my friends did say to me, oh I think he's from outside and he had white bandage around his neck. So one of my friends was sitting with him and like calming him down while I sort of stood there and held his bandage. So as soon as that was started it was very apparent what had happened. Hello I'm live here at London Registration where it is being or looks like areas that are being evacuated. The area behind me is all taped off with emergency alarm sounding and asking people to leave. So behind me just some people being asked to leave their offices. Lots of people being evacuated from this row of shops. We think that it is a bomb scare. We don't know how serious it is. It looks like the news building is evacuating as well. Yeah there's this vicious vehicle around the corner. It's a vicious vehicle. So they've got lots of them. There's not an overly panicked atmosphere. Everyone just stood behind the cordon. I'm not looking up that way. So there's not no hell on each other but it's going to be a little while. Yeah it's all going to be alright. Suspect there. All right. All right. The station. The station. No and is Suspect's office for the station? No it's outside. It's outside. It's outside. It's outside the station. It's out here. Yeah, a little creepy. I think that being evacuated from the offices. Yeah. I So I've looked over and it was basically one two three of them in a row and I've just seen them all with a nice in their hands. Do I stand here or do I just sort of you know trying to stop one of them if one of them goes for me the other two might go somewhere else. You just have to react as quick as you can and make one decision or the other. So as I've just gone right and over almost just barged into the entire group. The first one got me right in the back. The first one got me right in the back. The second one got me across the head. The left side of my face. The third one got me on the right eye and at that stage you know your body just sort of gives up. Also pilot kicks in and you just do what you think you need to do and that was all it was. I wasn't really thinking too much ahead of the horizon what I was doing in which is kind of an automatic reaction really. I grabbed my back and I racked it. Took a deep breath. I remember now that I had time to process it. I remember hearing my colleague he recties back as well because you can recognize the sound of somebody wrecking their back. And I just charged the guy. I just ran it in. And I swung it in with everything. I had everything or my power. I tried to take his head clean off, tried to just put him down in one go. An armed PC, Bartosz Tresewski had run within two meters of them before backing off. I was in there. Straight away see that he has a best or other suicide balance. Who's to fight with that kind of danger so we made a decision to withdraw. At all times the expandable baton should be used so that it minimizes the risk of injury to you or the subject. The expandable baton when used within the techniques in your training program is not likely to cause death or serious bodily injury. However, as with any intermediate weapon aggravated and intentional misuse may cause death. You must have a specific factual basis to believe that the use of the expandable baton is reasonable and justified. Unreasonable and excessive force is never justified. So we ran back to the wars of them. I was probably like, really like six to seven meters away from them. And the first thing I thought of doing was grabbing the chair. I picked up a chair for a chair of them. And I think by then a few other customers in the area saw what we were doing. And we kind of like banded together and fought. You know what these guys are doing at the storage. So we literally picked up chairs, bottles, stalls. And the idea was to kind of keep them at bay as long as possible before the police would come. The way it cowards, I remember after a bottle I think I checked a stall, pipe glasses. At that point two bakers also joined the chase armed only with plastic crates and a broom. It's key for a basket in the cup. I have to teach you a phrase. Yeah, I'm not too fast. I'm not too fast. Jeff Ho was out with friends nearby market on the night of the terrorist attack. He's only just come out of hospital and is now telling his story. I was heading to the tube station and outside the side of the tatham there were these two people that were attacking the bouncer. So I intervened. I helped hold them off. A police rolled up, arrested the two people who were attacking the bouncer. And then I made a faithful decision to go to black and blue the restaurant. First I heard chairs drop, plates, cut the red drop onto the floor, chairs. As people were running towards the back in a way and eventually I managed to kick it off its hinges. I put my hands up and I started talking to them. And as I said, you don't need to do this back. So all I tried to do was actually put myself between them and my friends and tried to stab in the throat. They came here and then they tried to stab me in the stomach. I then, to be perfectly honest, not certain how the one here happened. He's only just come out of hospital and is now telling his story. You got me right there as you can see. They came here. Here. Here. Here. So as they were coming through the door, you assumed that this was retaliation for the fight that you had broken up earlier. And you thought that it was somebody coming in and coming in to get you. His confrontation with the terrorists coming just moments after he recorded this video of the men as they approach a group of bars. So as they were coming through the door, you assumed that this was retaliation for the fight that you had broken up earlier. And you thought that it was somebody coming in and coming in to get you. His confrontation with the terrorists coming just moments after he recorded this video of the men as they approach a group of bars. And that wasn't the case. When did you realise it was something different? When I saw the length of the knives and then as they got closer, I saw what looked like suicide bomb vest. Here he is. Here's the guy. Roger, are you doing? Okay, see you. You're really good. Great to see you. Wow. That length must be so horrifying. Yeah, it was, um, but one of the worst knots in my life to be honest. Um, luck went on. Um, obviously, off duty at time. Obviously, off duty at time. First of all, Jeff was when the arms police officer took you away from the bar market. Um, and then I can see his hole in your throat. Um, it was quite a bit of blood, wasn't it? I remember. And he thought he was even stabbed in the stomach, didn't he? So we cut the clothes off just to check if it wasn't any other injuries. Thankfully, there wasn't. Yeah, very lucky. Yeah, very lucky. And you said he was surprisingly calm throughout it all? I was surprised how calm he was. Very much been stabbed in the throat. Yes. And he's an audience itself, I think, that you didn't do more. Yeah. I've made me say that. It's just a stomach shame, really. Yeah, really is. We wouldn't be here without them. So, Sam, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The barrister representing most of the victims families had us the coroner to criticise the security services. He said they would be wielded as the why current votes haven't been more closely monitored. Instead, today, the coroner concluded that MI5 and the police shouldn't be criticised. He said generally their investigation had been thorough and vigorous. Instead, he chose to criticise current votes family, who he said should have done more. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
