Hall is an independent investigative journalist and documentary film-maker who has gone further than any other journalist to examine the evidence surrounding the alleged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richplanet.net\/manchester.php\">2017 Manchester Arena bombing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If we look at the evidence, which is the only way to ascertain the truth, the Manchester Arena bombing was, in my view, a false flag.<\/p>\n<p>The official Manchester Arena Bombing narrative asserts the following as \u201cfact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On 22nd of May 2017, 22 people were killed by a 22 year old Islamist terrorist Salman Abedi who committed suicide when he detonated his TATP (triacetone triperoxide) backpack bomb at around 22.30. The bomb detonated just after Ariana Grande ended her set following the conclusion of her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.setlist.fm\/setlist\/ariana-grande\/2017\/manchester-arena-manchester-england-7be7d6c8.html\">22nd song<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Initially 59 people were reportedly injured, 38 directly by the bomb. By 2018 it was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/JSJmu\">more than 800<\/a>. The majority must have been injured in the stampede and this significantly increased number includes those psychologically traumatised by the event.<\/p>\n<p>Among those initially injured were Ruth Murrell, Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve. Martin was reportedly struck by 22 pieces of shrapnel.<\/p>\n<p>The terrorist, Salman Abedi, was known to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.daqc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2017\/12\/Report.pdf\">the intelligence agencies<\/a>\u00a0and was considered a to be among a tiny group of individuals, marked as a \u201csubjects of interest\u201d (SOI), who \u201cmerited further examination.\u201d Despite being \u201cof interest,\u201d Abedi frequently flew back and forth between the Libya and the UK, passing numerous UK border check without issue.<\/p>\n<p>This appeared to be the continuation of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/FXbyq\">open door policy<\/a>\u201d the UK government had with the terrorist members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) which was linked to al Qaeda. In a subsequent 2018 parliamentary\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/51IPL\">written statement<\/a>, Alistair Burt MP wrote:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u200bDuring the Libyan conflict in 2011 the British Government was in communication with a wide range of Libyans involved in the conflict against the Qaddafi regime forces. It is likely that this included former members of Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and 17 February Martyrs\u2019 Brigade, as part of our broad engagement during this time.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the LIFG Islamist terrorist group, including Salman Abedi\u2019s father, Ramadan Abedi\u2014also known as Abu Ismail\u2014and their families were settled in the UK from where they could plan and coordinate attacks in Libya. Salman grew up in Fallowfield, Manchester among the UK-based\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/0VRI1\">Islamist terrorist community<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As a teenager, Salman joined terrorist operations in Libya during the school holidays. A very frequent flyer, he arrived back in the UK from Libya, via a stopover in Germany, just\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/rCUSi\">four days<\/a>\u00a0before the alleged attack. As usual, no one questioned him.<\/p>\n<p>Richard D. Hall has \u201cquestioned\u201d the official narrative of the Manchester Arena bombing in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p>Following his extensive and diligent research, Hall subsequently published his book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn1.richplanet.net\/pdf\/Night_of_the_Bang.pdf\">Manchester: the Night of The Bang<\/a>\u201d in 2020. He released an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.richplanet.net\/richp_genre.php?ref=283&amp;part=1&amp;gen=99\">accompanying film<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hall reported, in both the book and the film, a significant body of evidence that strongly suggests the official account of the Manchester Arena bombing is false. He has continued to conduct his research and added\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.richplanet.net\/richp_genre.php?ref=311&amp;part=1&amp;gen=99\">further evidence<\/a>\u00a0since publication.<\/p>\n<p>For me, that body of evidence is compelling and shows the official State narrative of the Manchester Arena bombing is not true. The evidence indicates it was a f<a href=\"https:\/\/iaindavis.com\/false-flag-attacks-used-to-shape-history\/\">alse flag operation<\/a>\u00a0conducted by the UK state or elements within the UK state. I reserve the right to maintain my opinion until someone can show me some evidence to change my mind.<\/p>\n<p>There is no evidence in the official account that leads me to believe Manchester was not a false flag. The official account is not plausible and I have no reason to accept it.<\/p>\n<p>Hall has clearly demonstrated, to anyone that actually familiarises themselves with his work, that the official narrative is constructed from a partial record of the evidence. Virtually none of the evidence reported by Hall has been discussed or examined in any depth by either the authorities or the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/0qicK\">legacy media<\/a>\u00a0(LM). Any conclusion that does not account for all of the evidence is questionable. A conclusion based upon an investigation that ignores or deliberately evades evidence is meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/6P4EF\">Establishment<\/a>\u00a0simply insists you believe whatever it tells you about Manchester without discussing, or even acknowledging, the bulk of the evidence. Hall is the only named journalist to have reported the information otherwise excluded from public discourse. For doing so, he has been attacked by the entire\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/903k6\">UK legacy media<\/a>\u00a0and faces bankruptcy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iaindavis.com\/richard-d-hall-a-travesty-of-justice\/\">in the courts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reported victims of the Manchester Arena bang, Martin Hibbert, has lodged a civil claim against Hall alleging that Hall\u2019s investigative journalism amounts to harassment and GDPR breaches. Hall has shown evidence that strongly suggests the BBC were instrumental in instigating the case against him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martin-hibbert.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt aligncenter size-full wp-image-283193\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martin-hibbert.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martin-hibbert.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martin-hibbert-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 660px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>In an interview aired on ITV\u2019s Good Morning Britain (GMB), Martin Hibbert spoke about his relationship with Andy Burnham, the mayor of Manchester. Mr Hibbert stated that if he wins the case against Hall, he, Burnham and his legal team are seeking to use the ruling to push for the creation of a new criminal offence.<\/p>\n<p>Hibbert and his supporters want to make it illegal to question any reported victim account of an alleged terrorist attack. If enacted, it will ensure that no investigative journalist can ever question State narratives about terror events. Once on the statute books, it is highly likely that the offence will be extended to prohibit the questioning of other State narratives, wherever it is claimed someone was harmed. Murder, for example.<\/p>\n<p>At no stage did GMB question anything Mr Hibbert said. They noted that the case against Hall was ongoing, but then allowed Martin Hibbert to make a series of unchallenged, false claims about Hall. Thus, further jeopardising Hall\u2019s defence.<\/p>\n<p>The GMB interview appeared to contravene Sections 5 and 7 of the OFCOM Code. Some people have submitted complaints\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/complaints\/complain-about-tv-radio-a-website\">to OFCOM<\/a>. An example of the kind of complaints raised can be read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iaindavis.com\/pdfs\/GMB-OFCOM-Complaint.pdf\">HERE<\/a>. If you are satisfied that the interview breached OFCOM regulations, perhaps you might consider submitting something similar yourself.<\/p>\n<p>The UK High Court of Justice has issued a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iaindavis.com\/richard-d-hall-a-travesty-of-justice\/\">summary judgment<\/a>\u00a0in Hall\u2019s case. High Court Master Davison decided that all of the evidence we are about to discuss was \u201cfarcical\u201d or \u201cpreposterous\u201d and ruled it inadmissible. Hall cannot present key evidence in his own defence.<\/p>\n<p>Journalism and its ability to question power is directly threatened by the civil action brought against Richard D. Hall. Yet virtually no legacy media nor independent media outlet, with a couple of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2024\/03\/01\/fake-terrorism-and-the-genocide-agenda\/\">notable exceptions<\/a>, is seemingly willing to publish anything that broaches this issue or defends either Hall or his work.<\/p>\n<p>A possible injunction could see all of Hall\u2019s research and the evidence he has reported removed from the internet. His books will be burned. It seems obvious that the UK state is determined to silence Hall but, more importantly, to hide and destroy the evidence he has reported.<\/p>\n<p>The UK government, the compliant legacy and many in the so-called independent media have reported a Manchester Arena \u201cstory,\u201d primarily based upon witness testimony. The official narrative is largely anecdotal and there is a dearth of physical evidence corroborating any of it.<\/p>\n<p>As Hall showed, the State\u2019s relied upon witness testimonies are contradictory and many are not consistent with the authorities\u2019 yarn.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Hall reported the published witness testimonies of the 21 eyewitnesses who say they saw the explosion. Ten described a bright flash or orange light or fireball when it occurred and five described smoke. TATP, the explosive allegedly used, does not emit either light or smoke\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/qfEpM\">when it explodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At the subsequent public inquiry into the Manchester Arena bang\u2014the Saunders Inquiry\u2014paramedic Simon Butler testified that he \u201ctreated\u201d survivors for more than three hours but added \u201cI didn\u2019t see a patient actively bleeding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hall discovered and reported that the first people to respond to 22 dying and 38 seriously injured people in the City Room were Manchester Arena medical staff. To give you some sort of unpleasant mental image of what they supposedly faced\u2014according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/uKcGa\">official account<\/a>\u2014the blast was so immense that Salman Abedi\u2019s dismembered head and torso were flung more than 160 feet through the air to land near the Victoria Station ticket stall.<\/p>\n<p>Hall has provided photographic evidence\u2014not shown at the inquiry\u2014of the Manchester Arena medical team leaving the Arena, immediately after working in the bloodbath. They didn\u2019t have any blood on them. Perhaps they had time to wash it off and get changed or perhaps they \u201cdidn\u2019t see a patient actively bleeding\u201d either.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_283194\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/paramedics-leave-manchester-arena.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-283194\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt size-full wp-image-283194\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/paramedics-leave-manchester-arena.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/paramedics-leave-manchester-arena.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/paramedics-leave-manchester-arena-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 660px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-283194\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Manchester Arena Medics leaving the Arena after being the first to respond to a bloodbath where 22 people were slaughtered and 38 seriously injured<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2024\/03\/07\/the-manchester-arena-false-flag\/\">Continues \u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Independent researcher Richard D.
