As you feel so strongly about this I suggest you do a proper detailed & comprehensive refutation of Hall's arguments in his book and film. Not this lazy cherry picking.

Such cherry picking is typical of lazy journos anxious to win their argument & to disregard every aspect of the complete case.

Oh Willie! Can't you see the magician's tricks. The bits in the book are just distractions - I'm focused on the real evidence. Can't you handle the Truth? Do you think little Saffie's parents were using the bombing to conceal 'an accident'? Do you believe Hannah Mone lost her finger while cutting the hedge? Do you believe they found their crisis actors in A&E departments prior to the bombing? If you do, that makes you one gullible fool and there's not much more I can do for you if you like lies so much.

Oh Aisling! It’s precisely because I’m not gullible that I don’t buy your bargain basement attack on Richard D Hall.

Halls work on the Manchester ‘bombing’ has been around for up to 4 years.

What took you & others so long to ‘out’ him?

I became suspicious when I saw Gemma O'Doherty goad the alt media into covering his case claiming he was the 'best false flag investigative journalist' out there and then to see the pair cross promote each other. Serious alarm bells. I knew then to go looking, and lo and behold it didn't take long to find a treasure trove of nonsense packaged as 'research' just like O'Doherty's operation. Neither are working alone. They've so many tricked but sure so be it. That's what people get for overlooking lies and deception. You get the journalists you deserve. It's all a reflection.

Halls work has been around for years. I first encountered him in 2017. His work on Manchester has been in the public domain since 2019.

You say you went looking at Halls work because of a connection with your bete noir Gemma O’Doherty. Hardly an objective introduction. You went looking with a prejudiced mind & surprise, surprise you found what you were looking for.

It all neatly fitted into a your predetermined outlook.

Not objective journalism.

Ah So you’re moving on to smear me now.

Someone who doesn’t agree with you must be twisted & working for the other side.

For the record I don’t work with or for Hall or anyone connected to him. I’ve never spoken to the man. I’ve more of a connection with you than him.

He’s more of an investigative journalist than you’ll ever be. Maybe it’s just simple professional jealousy we’re seeing here.

Cherry picking would suggest that Hall is largely right and that negative comments are just pedantism. Nothing of course could be further than the truth. Hall is nothing more than a flimflam merchant who just knows his market (sadly). There is nothing lazy about pointing out distasteful chicanery. Your slavish credence to Halls Walter Mittyesque nonsense in no way adds any validation to it. It just makes rational people a little bit more sad.

The '' static '' daffodils '' and the '' disappearing ring '' look like planted clues to a hapless Conspiracy theorist, do they not?

I wrote something in a similar vein about crying wolf after every human tragedy. Some of the ‘awake’ have stared for far too long into the abyss, and are creating monstrous non-truths which merely feed into the hands of the soulless propagandists we’re up against. It’s bewilderingly sad.

The Truth Scene in the north of England is made up of people whom in all the years I have done events there and met them are generally of extremely low intelligence. Not because they are English but because a very perculiar culture has risen among them in that they echo the establishment's view on Jihad in that it does not really exist.

It is something that has left me flabberghasted at many times. Take the grooming gangs. There are hundreds of Truthers who go on line from places like Rotherham, Oldham and Barnsley and if not their immidiate familiy members, but half the teens girls on their street have been victims of Islamic grooming gangs. There are SURROUNDED by Jihadists who would kill them in a second and yet they are all on line going 'zionists' this and that and defending Hamas when they live in towns under Jihadist seige.

I am not sure if it is the cannabis, but there is something seriously wrong with many of them. They will tell you to your face that no Jihadist attack has ever happened anywhere in the world and it is all Mossad, CIA or Mi5 false flags. They do things like share the photo of the cop who was texting his wife dying outside Charlie Hebdo going 'lol, he is playing video games during a so called terrorist attack' - the stupidity is almost incomprehensible.

But there is also a real psychopathic aspect to it in that they laugh and mock the victims. I recall after the Bataclan mass Jihadist slaughter there was an awful photo of the kids bodies piled into an oval and the English Truthers were going 'all seeing eye inn't...no one was killed' Every single attack they do this. They can't comprehend they are dealing with someone's daughter, child, sister, boyfriend etc in a pile of slaughted flesh. It is like a video game to them and the Rich Planet 'investigation' into the Manchester Arena demonstrates that it is a video game that rots their minds.

Jihad is the Clear and Present Danger for all of us and we need to be honest about what we are dealing with.

Yup. The so-called Truther community has been trained to blame everything on the Jews. They repeat their counterintelligence lines like good little monkeys thinking they have it all figured out. They don't seem to realise all the naughty boys and girls, who've been banned and censored off mainstream social media for questioning the Covid hoax, and channelled off to Telegram, are being brainwashed.

Thank you so much for bringing this nonsense out into open, Aisling. I had family members at that concert. My grandson heard the blast from outside, sitting in his car waiting for his then girlfriend who was there with her younger sister. Katy, who has since become mother to two of my great grandchildren, had her ears damaged by the blast, not by the noise but by the force. She didn't actually hear anything. This happens when you are within a certain distance from the epicentre of an explosion. This is proof there was an actual explosion and not just a 'bang' as some people are trying to claim. She was so concerned with getting her sister out safely that she ran past people with blood streaming down their faces but didn't stop. This has since made her suffer from survivor's guilt and PTSD for which she still receives counselling. My daughter, an ex nurse, knows one of the nurses who treated the injured and one of the young men who died was a neighbour of the woman my daughter cares for. There was nothing fake about those deaths and injuries. Many are still living with the mental and physical scars.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Teresa and thank God your grandson and his then girlfriend survived the blast. My heart is with the victims and survivors. I'm ashamed by the way they've been treated by the so-called Truther community. It amounts to evil. I believe the victims. I believe their injuries and I can only imagine the fright of that night. It's so clear for those with eyes to see that Richard D Hall is manipulating information and tricking his followers into a trap. They're too blind to cop and don't love the Truth enough to spiritually protect themselves from his lies. All I can do is point out the absurdities but as you can see here, they've hardened their hearts. It's Biblical.

Half of what Hall has on his site full of free stuff is probably crap but all of it is interesting and as someone here has already said the simple way to show he is wrong on this case is to take each point he makes one by one and refute them not chuck a bucket of crap up in the air and hope some of it sticks. A bloodied picture of a hand does not a bombing make and videos of people sawing off smiling people's heads in Syria with blunt knives does not a beheading make as we all surely know by now.

I wonder why no-one is getting upset about the half of the stuff on his site that I regard to be crap but they are determined that they are going to attack him on this one that I think may actually have some merit? I think his most important terrestrial work is the Madeleine case and attacking him on that would air a lot of facts that those he named as being in that strange little place that you would never have dreamt would ever holiday there do not want aired again so he is attacked instead for his "obviously deranged" view of a bombing when we know for a fact the British government has been directly involved in murdering British citizens as the 7/7 video showed and the British government tried to put the maker of that video away for years when all he was doing was showing they had lied and luckily the jury was horrified at what was going on after seeing the video and freed him. Dr David Kelly anyone?

Which of these various cases that I believe Hall and others were entirely correct on calling out down the years when you were working for the very media companies they were calling out are you telling us we should be ignoring next lest it upsets those in power, ..... sorry lest it makes us look foolish in front of "friends" who already think we are foolish?

It's clearly an operation John. If you look at Hall's website you can see there's a team behind it, the aim is to get on side with the conspiracy theorists with well-worn conspiracies like Maddie McCann and 7/7, trot out some lines they want to hear but ultimately undermine and sabotage the whole movement with nonsense like his conclusion for the Manchester Arena attack. If people loved the Truth more they'd spot this easily but they're so comfortable with lies, they don't notice. It's always been an ethical issue. That's why we're in this mess.

Hi Áine, I've the whole thing examined. Iain Davis has been conned by RDH's phoney 'evidence' and he's pumping out false information. Delingpole has taken the bait. Very foolish. There was a bomb and people died. They're not acting. This is very dangerous territory. Martin Hibbert is right to sue RDH who has behaved appallingly. He's accused the man of all sorts along with Gemma O'Doherty - it's sick. Neither are reliable investigative journalists. Their findings are manipulated and lead the viewer to a false conclusion. All I can do is warn people but the brainwashing is intense on this one. It's astonishing. Anybody who has fallen for this con can never slag off those who fell for the Covid scam. This is just as bad. The victims are real and deserve our sympathy not opprobrium. It's so sad to see how many people have been conned into a very dark place. Martin Hibbert deserves a massive apology for what he's been subjected to by these cretins.

The "Barr Footage" was not part of the "evidence" presented to the Inquest. That footage contained material evidence proving that some of the witness statements were false. The Inquest also worked on the presupposition that a bomb containing 3,000 pieces of shrapnel exploded in the City Room. There is NO evidence of this, and much to suggest that this was not the case. Iain Davis' book on the background evidence to all of this is available to download FREE as a pdf copy on his website-iaindavis.com or in paperback for about £15. Iain's Substack outlines in detail the four days of the recent trial, where Hall was being charged with harassment, for what was essentially making reasonable enquiries as a journalist. He was not allowed to present any evidence relating to the substantive issue-that is, was there a bomb.

Davis' recent conversation with James Delingpole is also well worth a listen-link https://www.podbean.com/site/EpisodeDownload/PB16C0C0FYFQUN. It's on Odysee. The link and other related links are on Iain's website.

This whole "terrorist menace" which was ramped up following the night of the big bang helped provide the pretext for the devastation of Libya which followed. Can anyone think of a similar false flag which brought about death and destruction, say in a place like Afghanistan?

I don't know what happened in Manchester, but when we are not allowed to question narratives, be afraid that all may not be as it seems. This whole matter requires examination and scrutiny. ALL of the evidence must be examined, including all video recordings, eye witness statements and autopsy reports. This has never happened. Why?

I personally wonder if Ms O'Doherty's involvement might be to muddy the waters and discredit Hall. That theory fits right in with her recent aberrant behaviour.

Most importantly, even if he (Hall) is wrong, and there is no evidence whatsoever that he is, free speech means just that-the right to say sometimes offensive and downright incorrect things and then own them, and take whatever criticism and vilification may ensue. I may not like what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it, and all of that.

The Barr Footage is just misdirection. More the fool Iain Davis for falling for that one. He's obviously not a real journalist. Of course it wasn't admissible in court. It's nonsense. A cheap trick focusing on one shot and jumping to all sorts of baseless conclusions. There was a bomb and people died. Do you really think there were no casualties and all the people involved were just crisis actors? Do you really believe they found their cast in A&E departments in the UK prior to May 22, 2017? Do you really believe Hannah Mone's finger was chopped off cutting a hedge and not blown off her hand by a nuts and bolts bomb in the Manchester Arena that night? Why do you think she's running down the stairs with her sister captured on CCTV footage terrified for her life with all the other concert goers? Do you really believe Saffie Roussos's parents were concealing an 'accident' so pretended their daughter died in the attack? Come on Dr McCloskey. You've bought into nonsense and now you're being proud. Admit it. You've been had. Still think you're great btw.

Surely the objective Truth is more important. Go that route and you've chosen not to believe the victims and instead you've chosen nonsense like the hedge cutting scenario. This means I can no longer trust your judgement. Can't you see how devastating that is on a macro level. This is the aim of the game.

I’m a free speech absolutist because it allows one to call out the self-indulgence of increasingly ridiculous theories without fear or favour. Or at least it should do. There seems to be a strange groupthink developing within the ‘awake’ movement which is worryingly cult-like.

As I’ve said before, there is a danger that this bizarre ‘staged’ trend could actually impact the testimonies about, for instance, lockdowns and vaccine harms. In theory, that could all have been staged by ‘real’ people… but we know it wasn’t because we have firsthand experiences.

Thank you for taking the time to hear us out Alison. The victims are either dead or they're not. It's rather stark. Seven years later it's clear they're really dead, not crisis actors. So how did they die if a bomb didn't kill them? That has not been established and that's where the whole argument collapses. It's great most of us saw through the Covid scam, but logic and reason must still apply. RDH's 'evidence' is misleading. There was a bomb and real people died and were injured. This is a new low, disbelieving the testimonies of the survivors and families' of the dead. They're NOT crisis actors. Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve got their injuries from the bomb blast - ZERO evidence has been put forward to support the theory they were injured in a car crash. ZERO. Do you realise how serious that is? No evidence just a baying mob who've been conned by a fake conspiracy theorist RDH and his phoney investigative journalism, that's led his followers astray. Not good enough! I've been at this a long time. I'm used to deciphering real from fake. RDH is a fake and so is his evidence.

yes, that was the excuse given. Hundreds lying dead or injured, and the order went out 'you ambulance people are not allowed into the site. there could be more bombs'. So when we come to investigate a mass killing from a bomb, we can't speak to any paramedics, cos they weren't allowed in. 7/7 deployed 200 paramedics for a similar bomb situation, with twice the. casualties. Manchester? Three.

This one fact alone is enough to ring a major alarm bell. You may not if you are an editor, stake your life on the fact that this means it's a false flag, but that's not the standard we need to reach here. We as the general public don't have to be bomb proof. We are just looking at the evidence and reserving our opinion.

I've only one problem with Rich's work and thats that he was a bit too flippant and giggly in his presentation. If he stayed sober and just outlined his observations and thoughts I'd say he has every right to speculate. in fact its a duty to speculate. He did make me think and he was proven right about a couple of points he witnessed there . He should have been more dignified about the whole thing but he poses good questions. If i were caught up in some horror I would accept scrutiny . I wouldn't be offended if people tried to get to the true facts. Its important for us to learn not to trust the mainstream and to learn to be critical thinkers. Also to know our limitations. I doubt they could hire so many crisis actors myself , but I'm ok with him raising the possibility. His Maddie investigation was a huge eye opener for me.

Like any FE devotee you are not even slightly serious about understanding the shape of the Earth. In twenty years of listening to FE guff I have yet to meet a devotee who understands any of the models well enough to hold a GCSE level dicsussion about them. Water only 'finds its level' to the degree that you can perceive or measure curvature so as an experiment it is totally useless unless you are approximately 9km above a large body of water.

On the other hand I can prove you are not on a flat plane simply by having you draw the path of the sun across your location and then compare it to solar paths from other parts of the world. This is a direct proof that anyone can perform, you will have conclusive results in a day and only one model can survive the experiment. I already have the feeling you will not accept this as proof.

On the note of investigative journalism take a look at the text bias used in your own content. The latest video contains the words 'Bait, mistake, disillusioned, highly manipulative, unreliable' and all before your audience has even made it to the play button. You're not encouraging any kind of critical thinking here, you're only presenting your audience with the binary choice to support your own polemics or face a barrage of insults (which you have already started with me on your first reply).
