spooks | Porkins Policy Review

Tag Archives: spooks

This week’s episode was a long time in the making, but it is one that I am especially proud of. I had on Tom Secker and Jon Ryman to discuss Jon’s superb film White Widow- The Samantha Lewthwaite Conspiracy. I would encourage everyone to go and watch the film first, as there is so much detail that Jon goes into. The three of us discuss the origins of Samatha Lewthwaite; from her birth in Northern Ireland during the troubles, to her “conversion” to Islam and subsequent betrothal to 7/7 bomber Germain Lindsay, and later to her supposed place of importance with in Al Shabab in Somalia. We explore the notion that Lewthawaite may not have ever been in Kenya, one of her alleged bases of operations, and instead may be part of a much larger and complex intelligence operations. We also discuss the Westgate shopping mall attack and how Lewthawaite was erroneously connected to it, as well as the geopolitical implications of the recent uptick in violence in Kenya and the African continent in general. We round of the conversation with a look at how the War on Terror has blurred fiction and reality. This is another long podcast that deals with a subject that is little understood and deserves more attention.

In part two me and Tom go into the vast amounts of predictive programing that went on in the years prior to 7/7. We touch on shows like Spooks which accurately predicted both the official and some of the alternative conspiracy theories surrounding the events of 7/7. Me and Tom dissect many of the drills and exercise’s that were being run in the years prior to 7/7, and how they helped to condition those in places of power. The truth movement as a whole is also discussed as well as a lot more.
