    French police thwarts terrorist group as they attempt to cross the channel in a plane carrying a large bomb destined for the House of Commons in London.

    Terrorist cells have positioned themselves around the capital with the purpose of assasinating top British politcal figures, most notably Britains Foriegn Secretary Earnest Bevin British intelligence sources have revealed.

    “Members of the Stern group are now being organised and are under training. It is expected that they will be sent to the United Kingdom to assassinate important members of his majesty’s government, particularly, Mr Bevin.”

    A terrorist organisation plans to murder civilians and government officials isn't a conspiracy in my book....it's the policy/objective of the group.

    No, I'd disagree, if it was undertaken in secrecy I'd see it could be legitimately considered some kind of conspiracy. It's not all about Big Pharma and the government.

    I don't really get why you posted it though, just for discussion of an older topic?

    Wow! Thats 4 or 5 of your posts I've thanked of yours in a row, keep it up:D.

    Why I posted it was that up until 30 minutes ago I had never heard of it and I found it fascinating and I hoped that maybe someone else might share that view.

    But I'm a skeptic!

    Could this be the dawn of a new era of peace on the CT forum?

    I'll try check it out more over the coming days, may not be able to listen to it tonight.
