The Manchester Arena Incident: A disaster killing 22 and injuring 1,037 - or an elaborate hoax? !! NOW INCLUDES EXTRACTS FROM NEW BOOK by Iain Davis !!

Some on here will be aware of the work of Richard D Hall on the alleged bombing at Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017, which is said to have killed 22 people and injured up to 1,037 others.

In 2020, after over two years of patient research, Richard concluded that it was an elaborate, extremely cunning hoax, and published his work: "MANCHESTER: THE NIGHT OF THE BANG", in which he set out his case, in both a book and a lengthy video, that a harmless pyrotechnic device was used, not a TATP bomb as claimed by the police and state security services - and that no-one was killed or injured. In his book and film, he also provided persuasive evidence that Salman Abedi did not blow himself up with a TATP bomb but in fact dropped a pyrotechnic device and ran off to a grey Audi and made his escape.

On Monday 22 July, a trial of Richard will take place at the High Court, London, in a civil action brought by Martin Hibbert and Eve Hibbert, his daughter. Martin Hibbert says he received 22 shrapnel wounds from the explosion and nearly died, while Martin Hibbert alleges that a pieces of shrapnel went right through her head, leaving her disabled. Richard denies these claims. He asked both to provide medical evidence of their injuries but they have refused to do so. The Hibberts are claiming harassment, breach of GDPR rules and breach of privacy. They are represented by Hudgells Solicitors, Richard will be represented by barrister Paul Oakley.

Richard's defence is that he is a journalist and is entitled to research matters of public interest and give honest opinions on them.   

Now a NEW BOOK on the case has been published by Iain Davis, details:.

A brave man for writing a book in support of an earlier one which brought havoc to the author.

However, while I have no problem in believing that many acts of terrorism are false flag exercises, I just can't get it into my head believing that nobody died in this incident. 

How do the people who supposedly died live out the rest of their lives unnoticed by anyone else?

I found the footage released by a tabloid of the father filming himself reacting to his daughter missing after the blast quite fascinating as Ariana Grande is quite clearly still on stage performing (the explosion happened after she left the stage) and there are numerous people walking around calmly buying drinks and heading back to the venue.
He even gets mocked for the bizarre high pitched noise he keeps making and parroted by others who quite clearly think he’s nuts.
That alone proves there’s something fishy going on.

Could you provide a link to that footage Keelafreeze? I'd love to see some evidence.

It was in Rich Hall’s documentary.
Either the Sun or Daily Star posted it online

Thank you.

This must be the footage mentioned. I can't hear any singing still going on but it is weird that the other people in it don't seem to be aware of anything amiss. I don't think that all the squawking sounds are coming from him. Apologies if that's Ariana singing!

You can see her onstage on the screens and the squawking is claiming from him and other gig goers mocking him.
Not something you’d be doing if a bomb had just gone off!
Priority would be to run like you-know-what out of the venue.
I haven’t studied this compared to Madeleine’s case, but from what I remember Rich Hall had done an extensive research.

That is a very weird video!

It is indeed. Who would even think of videoing themself if this was genuinely happening?

Unless he was in a complete mental and emotional shock.

What!!!

I can't get my head around this, if true.

I'm a believer.

I heard that Martin Hibbert (who sued Richard D Hall) had been a bit part actor.

Thanks for posting it. I don't understand what I was looking at. People were going in the opposite direction to him, back where he had come from? But he didn't tell them what had happened, and not to go there? Most peculiar video,    and indicative of nothing, to me anyway.

@ Amy Dean, Your question is the one thing that meant that, until I actually saw Richard Hall's films, made me sure that he was wrong.

However, Richard *has* provided an explanation in his book. In short, he believes that most of the 22 names are still alive but are living elsewhere under a new identity, and that their relatives were paid large sums to withheld the truth. Most of this evidence is in Richard"s book.

For all those on CMOMM interested in Richard Hall's thesis, please take a very close look at the Ruth Murrell evidence. 

The day after the incident, Queen Elizabeth II was taken to visit Ruth Murrell in hospital in Salford. The media accompanied this with a picture supposedly of her leg with a gaping wound over an inch in diameter which was said to be a huge piece of shrapnel which went right through her leg.

Yet Richard obtained a 12-second video from a man called John Barr in which Ruth Murrell can be seen walking normally around the room where the device went off; this video was taken 2-4 minutes after the blast. This video also shows a lot of other evidence of the scene of the blast which is totally inconsistent with the claim that a powerful TATP bomb had just gone off killing *22* and injuring up to 1,037 others.

This evidence alone caused me to look deeper into the story.

Is Mr. Hibbert walking around with his phone,  as I thought he sustained spinal injuries and couldn't walk.  Or was there another explosion?

I find it difficult to accept that the families of 22 people are pretending relatives died there.

I find it impossible!

I didn't mean to imply that the event itself was a total hoax and nobody died but that video just doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense to me, either.

A. There was thankfully only one Explosion. I fear you are confusing Mr Hibbert with Mr Bickerstaff however.
Nick Bickerstaff is the man in the Sun video, not Martin Hibbert.

Remember that it was a ‘concerned’ Police Officer who leaked the Audio of the Radio conversation whilst the Grey Audi was being chased and stopped to RDH. Some parts of it are missing or inaudible.

Then we had the ‘it was a Police vehicle’ because the Audi had no MOT.

It was not a Police vehicle, the Driver has been identified by the Enquiry and his Vehicle was Taxed and Insured but the MOT according to the Enquiry was expired. However this was not true according to the DVLA.

I have supplied the Drivers Name and MOT details to Tony.

Now as Amy points out up-thread, Arianas live singing in the Arena is missing in the background of the Bickerstaff video soundtrack.

So I must ask, was it deleted, or added later?

I'm of the same opinion.

So this father is not Martin Hibbert, for clarity.
