Ian McEwan
"
England's national author"
(Daniel Zalewski,New Yorker)
If fake events are scripted like novels...
(as
Times journalist Ben Macintyre describes with
MI5 in the 1940s:

...then what kind of novelist might have scripted 7/7?
A
pioneer, with the flair to create work of striking originality
A
prophet, whose fiction foreshadows real events
A
sage, sought by the media in the aftermath of terror events
A “
visionary,” who sees the hoax as a grand work of art.
.A “
star” isolated from ordinary people by celebrity
The pioneer, MI5 & MI6
-McEwan enrolled to study English at Sussex University in the late 1960s, as one of the first cohorts at the newly-built institution.
His final dissertation gave a very original
Marxist-Freudian interpretation of the Noddy Books.

It is known that
MI5 sent their future Director-General, Stella Rimmington to Sussex University in the late 1960s. She was
ordered to spy on student Marxists.
(

The
official story is that she immediately concluded that the students were non-subversive. But she was ordered to remain at Sussex. So, with nothing to do, she whiled away the time reading novels?
Could McEwan, a Marxist suspect, have caught the attention of the novel-reading MI5 spy at Sussex in the 60s?
I think so.
-In 1970, McEwan was the very first (and for one year, the only) student to enrol on the new MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. His work received the undivided attention of the course co-founders Malcolm Bradbury and
Angus Wilson.
Wilson had worked as part of the Enigma code-breaking team for MI6 at Bletchley Park during WW2. (Other members of Wilson’s team had gone on to work at GCHQ.)
Wilson, had feet in both the worlds of Military Intelligence, and of Literature (later becoming President of the Royal Society of Literature). Being closely mentored by Wilson, might McEwan have been inducted into a clique which bridged the worlds of secret intelligence and literature?
McEwan has summarised his mode of work as follows:
“I feel that I'm involved in a
long-term investigation of human nature.”

Might this “investigation” involve the testing of human nature through behavioural experiments using the media?
(That’s one way of seeing 7/7.)
The Prophet
McEwan’s novel “Saturday”, published
January 2005 has been described as a "prophecy" of 7/7.
http://bostonreview.net/BR31.1/boylan.php
Der Spiegel:
Your new book “Saturday” is written in expectation of an act of terrorism. Now it has happened. What was your first thought when you heard it was a terror attack?
Ian McEwan:
It confirmed my book. I mean, it’s not that I take any satisfaction from it , nor did I share any great insight, everybody’s been waiting. But at the same time as waiting they’re also forgetting because, you know, it’s been four years since 9/11. Even Madrid was 18 months ago. And yes, at the end of the novel when the protagonist is standing in the window he talks of Londoners waiting for bombs. Well, you know, here it was.

-Unmentioned by the press is the fact that “
Saturday” is strongly connected with the number
Seven in the Abrahamic faiths, (hence Seventh-day Adventists who celebrate the Sabbath on a Saturday).
Saturday = Seven day?
The Sage
McEwan has been consulted by the press, and published in the
immediate aftermath of terror events, despite being a novelist and not a journalist or expert:
McEwan’s 9/11 report on 12 September 2001:

McEwan’s 7/7 report on 8 July 2007:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/ju ... ism.july74
The visionary
McEwan has an intimate association with
Antony Gormley ? the artist who was a consultant to the architects and the victims’ families for the 7/7 memorial.
In March 2005, Gormley and McEwan were sharing a bunk together on an arctic cruise, discussing Art & Nature ? Discussions that were continued in London in June 2005?
http://www.jstor.org/pss/4338856
Whatever the aims and fruits of these symposiums, someone saw fit to pay tribute to McEwan in this highly contrived Press Association “photo” of the 7/7 memorial from 2009:
The lone figure on the far right resembles a
young Ian McEwan, circa 1980.
(observing his creation? ? the 7/7 phenomenon)
Although looking his full 60+ years, in this photo below, McEwan is even wearing the same clothes.
(both photos appeared in The Telegraph in 2009)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstop ... thing.html
(This is an article where McEwan is being
prophetic and
visionary about the future? ;))
A Star
Close Friends with Julian Barnes and Martin Amis, McEwan is a celebrity with a life of celebrity dramas ? his wife kidnaps his children; he experiences a “backlash” after getting too popular? (
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/lifestyle ... -mcewan.do )
But much innuendo in McEwan’s press suggests prominent involvement in
experiments with society and genetics. It would be overwhelming to list it all without the anchor of some concrete proof.
However, with his background and profile, it would be a miracle if he was not involved with the secret intelligence services operating within literary cliques.
i.e. The
script-writers.
For the 7/7 project McEwan appears to be on a team with other writers on the Johnathon Cape imprint ?
Salmon Rushdie and
Martin Amis:
Between Rushdie and Amis we’ve got
Fatwas, and a cousin murdered by
serial Killer Fred West. But they cannot match the
soap-opera climax weirdness of McEwan meeting his long-lost bricklayer brother? - a post 7/7 plot twist
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/18/books/18mcew.html
McEwan’s long-lost brother, Dave Sharp, has written his memoir:
Dave Sharp appears to be a character from a McEwan novel who has been given power to impact the real world, with a big emotional hit of nostalgia and sentimentality .
That’s somewhat like the existence of the 7/7 vicsims, families and survivors.
While I can’t prove today that Dave Sharp is fiction, 7/7 appears to have a fiction-factory behind it.
And with “Saturday”(2005) ? Seventh-Day, the
Day of Sevens, I think McEwan was taking credit.
