From the London Times:
A leading proponent of the conspiracy theory that the 9/11 terror attack was faked by Jews has gained a prominent role as a Grenfell Tower volunteer.
Tahra Ahmed has claimed that the tower victims were “burnt alive in a Jewish sacrifice”.
Attending a town hall protest two days after the fire, she told reporters there that the fire was a “holocaust”. She has previously described Hitler’s massacre of Jews as the “holohoax”.
Ms Ahmed, 47, was an activist at the protest about the fire and has been running a volunteer network to help those affected by the tragedy.
The article goes on to note other examples of Ahmed’s anti-Semitism, such as her view expressed on Facebook that “Hitler and the Germans were the victims of the Jewish conspiracy to destroy Germany”.
Unfortunately, the piece does not properly describe the extent of her “network”. The article is one of several by Dominic Kennedy published in the paper today that contrasts the support group Grenfell United with other groups, the latter depicted as unreasonable militants out to “hijack” and “exploit” the issue through exaggerated claims and rhetoric. Among those mentioned is Ishmahil Blagrove of Justice4Grenfell, a long-time activist who we are told somewhat cryptically “has published work by an anti-Obama conspiracy theorist”. The Russian news channel RT also gets a mention, for attempting to “foment ‘class war’ in Britain” by misreporting on Grenfell (it’s not clear why “class war” is in quote marks – an anomaly that RT has seized on in its response).
Ahmed previously featured in reporting in June, when she was quoted as part of a protest at Kensington Town Hall:
Tahra Ahmed, who was involved in organising the protest, branded the tower fire a ‘holocaust’. The former Metropolitan Police worker admitted she was ‘hoping the protest doesn’t get worse’ after repeatedly being forced to intervene to stop violence against police throughout the evening.
However, there isn’t much else online about her Grenfell activism, and so it may be that she is something of an outlier and that her “network” is small. Presumably she is not part of Justice4Grenfell, or else Kennedy would have mentioned it. I previously blogged on Grenfell Tower conspiricism here.
Ahmed is, though, of interest as someone with long-standing links on the “conspiricist left”. In 2014 she appeared on The Richie Allen Show, a conspiracy podcast (see here) produced in association with David Icke, to talk about a project called “the re-set” (the lower-case is deliberate). Her associate in this project is Ray Savage, a former police officer and conspiracy theorist who later participated in at least one anti-“Satanic Ritual Abuse” protest outside a church in Hampstead. The “re-set” supposedly refers to a constitutional “re-set” provision within Britain’s laws – a pseudo-legal concept akin to “Freeman of the Land” and “Sovereign Citizen” fantasies. The website can be seen here, although an archived version is a bit more informative.
The year before that, Ahmed organized a “Truth Movement” conference in London called “Seek Speak Spread Truth”, with “Gilad Atzmon, Ken O’Keefe, Alan Hart, Les Visible, Kevin Schot, Nahida Exiled, David Messenger, and Gill Kaffash”. The event caught the notice of the Community Security Trust.
A bit of Googling also reveals an association with Tony Farrell, a 9/11 and 7/7 Truther who claims to have had a career in the police, and with a woman who refers to herself as “Charles Seven” – this latter person describes 7/7 as
a media mafia ritualistc satanic witch hunt vendetta to psychologically torture, terrify and paralyse me into not bringing my evidence to court exposing conspiracy to defraud and murder by way of widespread racketeering of trillions using stolen intellectual property and other highly sinister activities from 2003 onwards.
These links are revealed in emails by Ahmed published by Mark Windows, an actor and director who was a presenter at the The People’s Voice, a media project of David Icke and Sean Adl-Tabatabai (previously blogged here). Windows alleges that his scepticism of “Seven’s” claims led to him being defamed on a now-defunct conspiracy website called called Syncrenicity, run by a certain Tony Kilvert and owned by one Keir Argent. Windows claims that “Seven” arrived at The People’s Voice in the company of Ahmed and Savage to make their case to Icke.

There’s a lot of links to ‘loonies’ in your piece. This may mislead your readers into dismissing the impact of these false claims. They aught to also note that pushing the anti-Jewish Protocols of the Elders of Zion which Ahmed does, is a firm strategy by Hammas to discredit and disqualify all support for the state of Israel and this has gained traction in British politics.
Hammas teaches the PEZ to it’s school-children and many far-left Londoncentric Labour supporters and Corbynistas have bought into it not knowing it’s true source or impact. Please read this:
“Hamas and the New World Order Myth
As well as fundamentalist Protestants massaging the NWO to suit their own purposes to suck in undiscerning people there is a surprising array of other lobbies with their fingers in the pie. Astonishingly, some of those factions which promote the idea of the New World Order Myth are non-Christian. It is interesting to note that during the commencement of the era of international terrorism which began in the 1970s there were some very strange bedfellows. Rogue Arab states provided arms to many terrorist groups and not all of them were Moslem. It is rumoured for instance that Libya’s leader, Gadaffi, supplied arms to para-military groups in Northern Ireland. What possible common ground could the Palestine people have with Christians in the West? We will let David Aaronovitch explain it by using extracts from his excellently researched ‘Voodoo Histories’ (ISBN 9780099478966).
Aaronovitch explains that in 2003 he went to interview a leading Hamas leader about the Hamas ‘Covenant’, a document which is taught to Palestinian children in school to indoctrinate them against the West. Almost everything the West is successful at is diagnosed in this Covenant as being a front for Zionists. Motifs of the New World Order are everywhere present.
‘Enemies of Hamas will use every effort to further their cause, including education curricula, movies and culture using as their intermediaries…. Zionist organisations which take all sorts of names and shapes such as The Freemasons, Rotary Clubs and the like…their wealth allowed the Zionists to take over control of the world media
Before too long we discover what has influenced this flight of fancy
‘Zionist scheming, has no end, and after Palestine they will covet expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates, Their scheme has been laid out in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and their present conduct is the best proof of what is said there’..
Source Voodoo Histories pp45-48.
Thus again the wicked Protocols do the dirty work in providing justification for racial hatred.”
