Instead of rejecting the clearly absurd Fairford story, Burnham and his administration are persisting in accusing Iran of orchestrating a terror plot.
There is a strong chance the individuals involved were merely stealing fuel, likely from farms. They seemed prepared for fuel theft, carrying only petrol. It’s worth noting there’s a documented history of US and British military personnel selling fuel from bases. For instance, stolen red diesel meant for HMS Bulwark fueled amusement rides across England, which is somewhat amusing. However, if the Fairford Five were thieves, farms seem a more probable source.
We should recognize that USAF Fairford is erroneously called RAF Fairford, a misleading designation, much like “RAF Lakenheath” or “RAF Mildenhall.” The UK hosts numerous US military sites governed by US law. (My father’s occupation on my birth certificate was “Clerk USAF,” reflecting his role at Mildenhall back then.)
This is a classic example of state propaganda: the petrol found in the Fairford vehicles was described by counter-terrorism officers as a possible bomb accelerant.
Indeed, petrol can serve that purpose. However, it also has far more obvious legitimate uses. The same tactic was employed during the peak of War on Terror propaganda with the Great Easter Bomb Plot—a plot that never existed. Police arrested many young Muslims around Manchester, which dominated headlines, only for all to be released without charges.
At the time of the arrests, authorities claimed they had discovered a potential bomb-making component in a kitchen.
And they had—in the form of a bag of sugar. Sugar can theoretically be used for bombs, yet most households keep it in the kitchen. At least it didn’t take authorities ten days to locate the sugar, unlike their search of Charlie Rowley’s flat for novichok, or the ten-day search to “find” a bottle of perfume plainly sitting on a counter during the Salisbury incident.
Regarding Fairford, I lean toward the idea of a botched false flag rather than mere fuel theft. The men possessed no weapons or explosives, making the terror claim tenuous. If they were dupes in a staged attack, existing base explosives could have been deployed to craft the incident around them.
Two facts suggest a false flag. Firstly, the female farmer who called 999 insisted there were more suspects than the five detained and released. The additional individuals may have been undercover operatives—agents provocateurs—discreetly extracted. This aligns with reports that one of the men phoned in a warning about the “attack.”
It seems a major false flag involving the US, as suggested by Trump, and possibly Israeli awareness as claimed by Netanyahu was intended. The security services viewed this operation beyond the competence of local police, possibly due to their potential honesty. The plan unraveled when an alert farmer contacted police and a participant called it in—maybe a recruited “terrorist” who regretted involvement, or an agent worried about lost communication.
Use of recruited patsies for false flags is well documented. I have reported on it since before the Newburgh bomb plot, one of the most notorious cases. In the US, awareness of provocateur-generated plots exceeds that in the UK.
For skeptics, here’s a brief outline of Newburgh:
In May 2009, the FBI arrested four impoverished men in Newburgh, New York, claiming to have stopped a plan to bomb two Bronx synagogues and shoot down military aircraft at Stewart Air National Guard base. The plot’s details, targets, fake bombs, and disabled Stinger missile were FBI-supplied. The recruiter, Shahed Hussain, a Pakistani con artist turned informant to evade deportation for a fraudulent driver’s license scheme, was paid nearly $100,000. Over a year, he ingratiated himself at a Newburgh mosque, impersonating a wealthy Jaish-e-Mohammed agent, before engaging James Cromitie, a Walmart employee and minor drug dealer.
Hussain promised heavenly rewards and up to $250,000. Cromitie recruited three others: Onta Williams, David Williams, and Laguerre Payen. Hussain transported them across state lines to inspect fake weapons, elevating the charges and imposing a 25-year minimum sentence. They were convicted in 2010.
Sentencing Judge Colleen McMahon stated she was certain no crime would have occurred without government instigation. In 2023, she ordered the release of three, labeling the case an FBI conspiracy and identifying the US as the primary conspirator. Cromitie was freed in 2024, described as a minor crook with no violent history, misled by Hussain’s promises of spiritual and financial gain.
The Golders Green ambulance arson is another classic false flag incident. Four young Muslims were recruited online by an unseen agent, almost certainly Mossad. They received money to attack ambulances, with the assault later blamed on Iran via a Telegram message from “Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia,” a Mossad-created front.
HAYI first emerged through simultaneous announcements on 16 March from five Israeli governmental sources in Israel, the US, and the UK (including BICOM), plus an article from the Israeli-affiliated “Foundation for Defending Democracy.” Nick Stewart of FDD travels with Kushner and Witkoff as part of the US Middle East negotiating team.
There are many reasons to doubt HAYI’s reality. None of its content is in Farsi. All its “attacks” are minor, inconsequential arson incidents causing no injuries. Its materials’ grammar, calligraphy, and imagery are inconsistent.
The UK government itself has since debunked parts of the Mossad HAYI narrative. On 29 April, when Essa Suleiman stabbed three men, media ignored the first Muslim victim and framed the case as an antisemitic attack against two men in Golders Green. The HAYI Telegram channel immediately claimed responsibility. However, police and prosecutors later abandoned the terrorism charge. The stabbing of the Muslim is charged as attempted murder but remains underreported. Thus, HAYI claimed responsibility for a fabricated terrorist event.
A false flag is not simply a state planting a bomb and blaming others. Sometimes the state recruits individuals to plant devices who may believe in a cause or act solely for money.
The Starmer rent-boy arson case, where Ukrainian male models set fire to property linked to Keir Starmer, is still murky. Much of its background was legally suppressed in court. The media, apparently encouraged by the government, report the arsonists were recruited online by someone known as “El Money.” Interestingly, the media consistently describe him as Russian-speaking, but court evidence shows he spoke both Russian and Ukrainian.
Almost all adult Ukrainians understand Russian, whereas few Russians speak Ukrainian. Yet El Money is habitually labeled Russian.
That brings us to accusations of Russian “hybrid attacks,” where states whose leaders openly push war against Russia claim mysterious and minimal incidents. For example, the underwhelming drone incident in Leipzig, or recent claims of Russian arson in Estonia, a country that has aggressively discriminated against its 29% Russian-speaking population.
Estonia has shut down Russian educational and cultural institutions, including schools, libraries, theaters, churches, cinemas, and university courses, even denying passports to native-born people unable to speak Estonian—contravening numerous UN, Council of Europe, and OSCE standards protecting minority language rights.
While language tests for new immigrants are commonplace worldwide, revoking citizenship from a native linguistic minority is another matter. Estonia was part of Russia from 1721 to 1919 and the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1991, so Russian speakers form an established community.
Therefore, I reject Estonia’s claims about Russian “hybrid attacks.”
Now, the incredible “FlyDubai” hijacking and the heroic plumber who supposedly saved a plummeting plane after watching Air Crash Investigation.
This account has issues. The plane reportedly descended about 15,000 feet within 30 seconds, confirmed by independent flight trackers.
The air pressure during the dive was so intense it tore the rudder off.
Visualize descending 500 feet every second—a height exceeding a 40-story building. The forces inside would be tremendous. Anyone unbuckled would be thrown from their seats, likely hitting the ceiling. Loose items, such as food carts, would violently shift. Overhead bins could open due to shifting weight. Given the rudder was torn off, no one unrestrained could have maintained balance or stayed seated.
We have numerous onboard videos, but none depict such chaos. The cabin appears remarkably calm at the flight’s conclusion.
There are doubts about the flight data, too. A commercial pilot on CNN expressed skepticism that a plane could slow so rapidly mid-flight as trackers imply. He also questions whether control could be maintained after rudder loss due to hydraulic failure, or if the airframe could hold together, especially without dramatic cabin disturbance.
Some argue that if the dive was entered and exited gradually and smoothly, the G-forces might be lessened, minimizing cabin upheaval. Yet, it’s difficult to envision such a gentle maneuver given the chaotic cockpit scenario, with the co-pilot allegedly forcing a death dive while struggling with the pilot.

The official story credits the smooth recovery to a plumber who knew what to do from watching Air Crash Investigation. Needless to say, that strains credulity.
The truth about FlyDubai will likely never emerge. The plane diverted to Saudi Arabia, where the co-pilot, portrayed as an Islamic extremist, will be sequestered and reportedly tortured by Saudi authorities. Netanyahu has stated Israel will participate in interrogations. Any confession or evidence from the co-pilot should be considered unreliable.
Since the aircraft was a Boeing, the US will join the investigation alongside the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel—an alliance that is arguably unparalleled in Zionist malevolence. Expect falsified flight recorder and cockpit voice recorder evidence from this group.
I sense a growing public skepticism toward official accounts. The Skripal story was even more absurd, yet the public largely believed the government then. Fortunately, that trust is now eroding significantly.
