If you go to “Visor Consultants limited” website at
http://www.visorconsultants.com, you will be presented with this information:
Address:
212 Piccadilly
London
W1J 9HF
0207 917 6026
And at the bottom of one of their pages it says this “© Visor Consultants Limited 2007“. This is Peters own company as he says “I was up to 2 oclock this morning, because it’s our job, my own company. Visor Consultants, we specialize in helping people to get their crisis management response, how you jump from slow time thinking to quick time doing.“[1]
His own company? That sounds nice doesn’t it. Peter must be doing well for himself. So I had a quick look at companies house. A quick hunt reveals a police superintendent earns about £50000 p.a. – quite a comfortable salary. So Peter may have found little or no problem opening this business (opening ones own business often involves a bank loan – and I’m sure banks would be interested to know if the applicant was under any criminal (or otherwise) investigation) So I decided to look up Visor Consultants Limited.
Strangely I found no reference to a company at 212 Piccadilly London, instead I found this…
Humm… Here’s a bit more detail of each entrant in order…

You can see from this and the graphic that they all have the same address. Not London but Dorset. And where was Peter stationed???
If you look on the map of Dorset, you Find Broadstone about 4Km North of Poole and about 6Km North-West of Bournmouth. High Way seems like a very small and piddly little street. Strange place to resiger such an important company.
Hummm. P.S. For the curious, this site[2] claims to have found “…that company that hired Visor Consultants to help participate in exercises involving bombs going off at the same time and place as the ones on 7/7 ” Update: Bridget Dunne queries this finding (see comments below).
I also came across this…
‘One police superintendent in ten ‘is being investigated’
by Elaine Cole. Monday, 10 September 2001 [3]
————————————————————–
{Update: sorry to post a mid-way article and edit after comments have been made but I was rushing like mad yesterday}
As all the Visor Consultants companies have the same registered address it means it is almot a certainty that they are connected to the same person. Given Power ‘served’ and was suspended in Dorset, he is the likely link. Although the times do not correlate, it makes one wonder if Power’s suspension was because he was using information as a member of the Police for private enterprize? Once the dust settled and his ill health got better, he seems to have formalised his expertise into a registered company. We are entitled to ask (becuase he is involved in public affairs) and speculate given the available facts and becasue he refuses to say why he was suspended.
Why should we break the Bush, bLiar, Straw and the whole neofascist cabals dabbling of rendition and torture now? By their standards, should Power not be rendered to some dungeon somewhere and waterboarded as well as other hideous forms of torture. What tales would he reveal then? Given the UK and US do this and accept the ‘confessions’ as evidence then why not waterboard Power? Why isn’t Power under suspicion of assisting terrorists that day? Someone conducting ‘exercises’ in exactly the same stations at exactly the same times cannot be trumped by anyone who could have helped the terrorists more. To me, Power is a prime suspect and should be put through the system, no? Well, no. suspect he may be but torture is always wrong.
One things for cetain, he doesn’t want something coming out, and of his public service as a member of the police force aswell as someone involved in the terrorist events of July 7th we are entitled to answers.
Deviation over, back to Power in respect of Visor Consultants Limited; it is common for people with significant knowledge of an organisation to have a clause in their employment that they will not use the knowledge gained whilst under employment for a specified time period once they leave that organisation. Was this the case with Power?
He definately would have some knowledge on security issues as a Superintendent (after all his company these days makes money from synthetic fear and very real terror)
The data at company house says Visor Consultants Limited has quote: “no branches associated with this company.” – Yet there is a branch in London. That seems a bit of a contradiction to me. Is there not some law against providing false company information? The companies acts would make for interesting reading.

Living with the Conspiracy 24-7 
Whether Tubelines were the company that hired Visor Consultants is doubtful.
Tubelines are based in Canary Wharf.
Power clearly states that he was working for a company in the City:
” And we chose a scenario – with their assistance – which is based on a
terrorist attack because they’re very close to, er, a property occupied
by Jewish businessmen, they’re in the city, and there are more American
banks in the city than there are in the whole of New York”
The City of London boundaries are very specific and don’t include Canary Wharf.
From here:
The Piccadilly Line is run under a 30 year PPP (Public-Private Partnership) contract by Tube Lines a consortia made up of Amey and Bechtel and based at 15 Westferry Circus Canary Wharf. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter sublet the building to Tube Lines. They share the building leading to the video wall, built for use in stock trading but used as a Recovery Silver Control for the London Underground in the aftermath of the explosions.
There are plenty of limited companies registered at that address, safe abd secure southern,safe and secure wessex,granite media. Probably an accountants address
211/212 Piccadilly is a Virtual Office, designed to make tinpot, fly-by-night firms look like they have high-brow, high-flying, des-res address in Londinium.
At £65 a month and a tenner for forwarding mail, it fools nobody.
LOL at virtual office.
:D
“At £65 a month and a tenner for forwarding mail, it fools nobody.” – priceless!
Oh Peter, the waves are lapping at your sand-castle.
Comment moved to correct thread:
Prism Consulting is another “company” using 212 Piccadilly as a virtual office http://www.prism.ch/corporate/locations.html It’s a bit of a give-away when a company can’t even spell its street address.

As a crap typist myself, I’d rather not comment.
I regret to say your assumptions are incorrect, although some on line company search engines do contain wrong details for some reason? There has been much nonsense written about why my company ran an exercise on 7 July 2005 that had very close parallels to the real thing that day. Since then I have made several attempts to add my own comments to numerous sites that seem to get increasingly excited about their own conspiracy theories and in the process exclude any rational debate. It seems those who occupy the world of finding conspiracy theories to replace just about any coincidence, do not want to have any dialogue with those offering a different view, but I have not yet given up hope. I am therefore hoping, perhaps naively, that someone might like to read an honest and factual account about a particular exercise my company ran in London three years ago.
Unfortunately, the BBC have just postponed a programme in their ‘conspiracy files’ series that would have done this. Our client three years ago agreed to be named in the BBC programme since the attitude of the producer and his team was very balanced (several conspiracy theorists were also invited to take part). We even allowed our complete exercise material to be made available to the BBC. Regrettably broadcasting it now might jeopardise an ongoing court case, so they had little choice about postponing it to next year.
Early in 2005 Reed Elsevier, an organisation specialising in information and publishing that employs 1,000 people in and around London, asked us to help them prepare an effective crisis management plan and rehearse it before sign-off. Several draft scenarios were drawn up and the crisis team themselves set the exercise date and time: 9.00am on 7 July.
The test was planned as a table-top walk through for about six people (the CM team) in a lecture room with all injects simulated. Everything was on MS PowerPoint. The location of their Central London office near to Chancery Lane was chosen as one test site. With many staff travelling to work via the London underground system, the chosen exercise simulated incendiary devices on three trains, very similar to a real IRA attack in 1992, as well as other events.
As there had been eighteen terrorist bomb attacks on tube trains prior to 2005, choosing the London Underground was logical rather than just prescient. With this in mind it was hardly surprising that Deutsche Bank had run a similar exercise a few days before and, prior to that, a multi-agency (and much publicised) exercise code-named Osiris II had simulated a terrorist attack at Bank tube station. Moreover, I had also taken part in a BBC Panorama programme in 2004 as a panellist alongside Michael Portillo MP et al, in an unscripted debate (we had no idea at all what the scenario was to be?) on how London might once again, deal with terrorist attacks, only this time it was fictional (created entirely by the BBC).
In short, some of the research for our exercise had already been done. The scenario developed for our client even started by using fictitious news items from the Panorama programme then, as with any walk through exercise, events unfolded solely on a screen as dictated by the facilitator without any external injects or actions beyond the exercise room. Also factored into the scenario was to be an above ground fictitious bomb exploding not far from the head office of the protected Jewish Chronicle magazine where for exercise purposes, our imagined terrorists would have been aware that commuters would now be walking to work (past a building already considered a target) as some tube stations would have been closed.
Of just eight nearby tube stations that fell within possible exercise scope, three were chosen that, by coincidence, were involved in the awful drama that actually took place on 7 July 2005. A level of scenario validation that on this occasion, we could have done without.
An exercise that turns into the real thing is not that unusual. For example, in January 2003, thirty people were injured when a tube train derailed and hit a wall at speed. At the same time, the City of London Police were running an exercise for their central casualty bureau where the team quickly abandoned their plans and swung into action to cope with the real thing.
For a surprising number of people such coincidents cannot be accepted as such. There just has to be a conspiracy behind them, despite the obvious point that painstaking research will always identify probable above possible scenarios. By the way, the only reason I was asked to speak on TV news that day, when there was still much confusion about the real tragedies, was to encourage more organisations to thoroughly plan their own exercises knowing the threat of terrorism is and remains, very real. One tragic consequence being Islam, a great Abrahamic, monotheistic faith (along with Judaism and Christianity), has undeservedly become vilified by some people.
Peter Power
Visor Consultants
“in the process exclude any rational debate.” – I recall you doing just that Mr. Power, when you ran into what looked like a conference suite, when being asked a number of questions on camera by activists of “We are change” [Video here – 1m28s].
Could you indulge one of my curiosities at this point Mr. Power as I’ve always wondered how long you stayed in there and what you were thinking when hiding out? Did anyone walk in on you from another entrance and wonder what on earth a grown man in a suit was doing hiding behind a door?
But are you really the 7-7 bombs Peter Power? and what happened to that deliberately vague (legal and physical) threat? should I then take it that the threat is still on? Should I play along with your threat and become scared that you are going to try and arrange to harm me in some way Mr. Power?
I’ll reply more later. Back soon. Busy right now.
BAck…
I am prepared to believe it was a coincidence, as I am sure many other people are. A genuine independent inquiry (not like the Hutton etc.. whitewashes) would be the means to support the conclusion you desire people to make. Your support for such an inquiry (outside the inquiries act (2005)) would be helpful.
But think about this: By the same token that it could be a coincidence, it may NOT be a coincidence, and to many, when you factor in all of the other oddities of 7-7, motive etc, your role in 7-7 is just one factor many believe forms some kind of cohesion pertaining to a conspiracy to murder. That and the fact that state sponsored terrorism is a frequent reality, fully justifies including 7-7 within a realm of suspicion that 7-7 itself could be such an event.
But, in fairness, to people I respect and who believe I think I’ve got some marginal e-friendship with, I have stated that I don’t believe there is any evidence against you in regard to 7-7. Someone (“aped” someone who may work for the BBC – sorry, can’t trace a link) not so long ago made an attempt to put the case for your innocence in respect of 7-7, arguing your involvement was a total coincidence, albeit eventually ending up revealing a nasty side, threatening a woman and displaying Xenophobia. Nonetheless, he did have a point. And you have a point that disaster management will choose targets they predict will be of ‘value’ to terrorists. But it’s still an incredible coincidence.
A genuine inquiry (free of ‘establishment’ bias) would no doubt exonerate you should there be no evidence but imprison you if there was.
We would love to hear a full and proper account from you, and I very much respect you doing so here. However, I must ask, why so late? And actually, I must put it to you Mr. Power, that rather than writing on my little largely passed by blog, that you draw up a full account of the matter and submit it as a sworn legal statement, should one day something think it worthy to investigate the circumstances of largest terrorist act on British soil in living memory which killed probably 56 people and injured hundreds more.
Presumably debate doesn’t involve monologues so please clarify up any questions bloggers may raise later.
I’m afraid I don’t share one milligram of your belief that the BBC would be able to lay all aspects of 7-7 to rest. The BBC is a diseased and highly biased organisation, continually acting as a government megaphone without so much as fleeting thought to question authority or its fleet of ‘anonymous, high level officials’. P.S. do you know this “aped” person?
Testimony directly from yourself is far more valuable (and thank you for taking time to post here) than the prolific ad homeni punching, ridicule loaded, dodging and agendised BBC.
Interesting, no response for so long. Over a year now.
Hi Marc.
Yeah. Not only did he issue a deliberately vague threat (possible illegal initself) but he didn’t even have the integrity to carry out his threat. If he ever does develop a spine it would be great to see him contest the issues at hand and have the decency to tell the public why he was suspended with pay from the publics pocket and all the other questionable things he’s done.
Stand up to thugs and bullies then watch them crawl back into the crevice from whence they oozed.
Madrid Bombing: Bombs under the cars, admitted police surveillance of suspects prior to and after the bombing… Same MO as 7/7. Modus operandi identifies the perpetrator. Whose political purpose can logically be supposed from Madrid? The coming election over the hot issue of Spanish participation in the “coalition of the willing” in Iraq. Spanish voters proved more sophisticated than the British, having been long hardened in the school of fascist tyranny. They tossed out the collaborators. Result: greater public safety from NATO terrorism.
Sadly whatever puppet is put before us, the same evil gets done. A change in the monetary system is the only hope, or a poor man from South America somehow gets elected as British PM.
