A personal message to Tony Farrell

Hi Tony

A little dickie bird tells me that you're getting mixed up with opinions I express and opinions expressed by the J7 Truth Campaign

To the best of my knowledge the J7 Truth Campaign hasn't expressed any opinion about your Damascene conversion to full blown 7/7 conspiraloon at all

I, on the other hand, think you're your story is dodgy as fuck

I think you're dodgy as fuck because...

• You work(ed) in police 'intelligence' for many years
  

• Even though you worked as a terrorism risk analyst in the same county three of the alleged 7/7 bombers came from, you claim that you only became aware of conspiracy theories about 7/7 five years after the bombings
  
  
• Even though you worked as a terrorism risk analyst in the same county three of the alleged 7/7 bombers came from, you claim that the only insight you have into the bombings came from 'watching videos in the internet' and you learned nothing relevant to 7/7 scepticism from your day job

• You are attempting to promote doubt in the official 7/7 narrative as being a matter of religious faith and not a matter of scepticism in a poorly supported, inconsistent narrative
  
  
• Your account of your dismissal is littered with apparent contrivances - your suspension on the anniversary of 7/7, your hearing on the anniversary of 9/11, the story about a priest switching you onto 7/7 Truth, claims that your superiors were sympathetic to your views on 7/7. It all sounds unlikely, unrealistic and scripted

Going forward, the only thing I see you contributing to the cause of 7/7 Truth is more twaddle about a 'Satanic' New World Order which will assist the establishment in depicting 7/7 Sceptics as being credulous believers and not rigorous sceptics

And maybe at some point you'll shave your legs and claim to be God

Which isn't much of a contribution at all

Sorry I missed you last Saturday. I'll try and catch up with you another time. I'll be the one not clapping, waiting to ask questions

Sincerely,

Stef

Another proper Charlie, sorry, Johnnie

I've noticed some speculation here and there about yesterday's flanning of Rupert Murdoch by zany, madcap, UK Uncut* co-founder Jon May-Bowles

A common line of thought being that Johnnie was deliberately allowed to deliver his load so that Murdoch would garner some sympathy from the viewing public and also to serve as a distraction from the heinous matters being discussed

Speaking as someone who prefers his unverifiable hypotheses to be more (L)assagne-like; with at least a couple of layers, I favour the possibility that the flanning served as both a distraction from the hearing *and* a reminder to Murdoch of his vulnerability

There does, after all, appear to be a huge pissing contest taking place in the UK amongst various establishment gangs - which kind of flies in the face of those who believe there are no cabals and those who believe that there is essentially only one

An alternative explanation for Johnnie's behaviour would be simply to take things at face value; as many of the warm and supportive Youtube commentators have done underneath this video of Johnnie strutting his rib-tickling stuff down in the hood in Stockwell...

"Congratulations, you fucking dick - you've just guaranteed tomorrow's headlines will be dominated by some posho wannabe activist and shaving foam rather than the abuse and corruption of the Murdochs. Oh, and you're fucking shit as well."

"You disrupted one of the most important criminal investigations in British history to get your grubby little fifteen minutes of fame. Congratulations, you attention-seeking cunt."

"he attacks old men and gets beaten up by middle aged women
jonnie fucking marbles.... the least funny man in the world"

"Oh, what a surprise, listen to the posh twat. What’s the betting that Jonathan May-Bowles turns out to be another middle-class knob from the home counties, like 99% of these over-privileged, activist, leftie, anarchist pricks are."

Any similarities to Charlie Veitch are entirely structural and class-based


edit:

* = I've not been exactly what you might call a fan of the activism to date, typified by UK Uncut, which has been directed at the austerity program promised by the UK government and banking system. My take is that the activists are currently flogging a dead horse and until they start talking about structural reform, rather than tinkering with a bit more tax here, a little more spending there, I will continue to look upon them as attempting no more than putting lipstick on a pig. The counter to my point of view is that these activists have to go through a learning process and will eventually conclude, as a result of their trials and tribulations, that structural reform is needed. Fine, let them learn...

Comedy Infiltration?

There's a new character currently doing the rounds on the Conspiraloon Circuit...


Tony Farrell was senior intelligence analyst for South Yorkshire police for 17 years, who underwent a Truth Epiphany in July 2010, submitted an intelligence report to management which identified the New World Order as a bigger terrorist threat than Radical Islam and was subsequently fired for his beliefs

So far, he's told his tale on the Alex Jones show and an orbiting starship, as well as being written about in several blogs and Conspiranoid websites

What interests me about Farrell's treatment by the alternative media thus far is just how easy a ride and warm a reception he's been getting

This is, after all, a milieu where it is normal to be accused of being a government operative or Zionist shill on the flimsiest of pretexts

Unless, that is, you are an ex(?)-police employee with an inconsistent back-story who appears from out of nowhere and says he's one of You now

Apparently, he's just got to be OK

Here's a provisional list of issues I have about this character which will doubtlessly change as he continues to ply his meagre wares...

• The J7 Truth Campaign 7/7 Inquests blog and website are currently the most detailed and comprehensive critiques available of the 7/7 inquest and the Official 7/7 Narrative. Farrell has made no reference to either; preferring instead to cite secondary sources. You really would have to deliberately go out of your way not to refer to J7 when talking about issues arising from 7/7

• Nor has Farrell made any attempt to communicate with J7 even though he is currently popping up everywhere else. This behaviour with regard to J7 is inconsistent with Farrell's stated desire to spread awareness of 7/7 'Truth'. The key differences between J7 and the other groups Farrell has referred to and dealt with are that J7 maintains a sceptical approach to promoting alternative 7/7 narratives and researches the material it publishes thoroughly. I can think of no reason why someone playing a straight game would stear clear of that
  

• Farrell has currently made little of that fact that he was a police analyst in the same county that three of the four alleged bombers came from. If he didn’t encounter material that offers new insights into the Official 7/7 Narrative in the five years that followed the bombings I would consider that extremely peculiar. Thus far he has simply recycled selected highlights of existing 7/7 lore and nothing more
  

• Farrel was dismissed in September 2010 and waited until June 2011 to publicise his story. The delay has not been explained. Farrell is now trying to drum up support and potential 'expert' witnesses for his dismissal hearing, scheduled for early September 2011. No Truther knew this man from Adam a month ago and now he's trying to get people who know nothing about the circumstances of his case to become involved in a hearing
  

• The examples of reasons to doubt the Official 7/7 Narrative Farrell has cited so far include tendencious, potential red herrings; such as a claim that two of the alleged bombers were 'most probably' shot at Canary Wharf. For a allegedly Senior Intelligence Analyst, Tony appears to have a limited capacity to distinguish shit from shoeshine
  

• I've discussed Farrell's recent interviews with a few fellow sceptics and we all seem to share a vague sense that Farrell, putting it politely, does not exactly exude a powerful forensic intelligence. He does not come across as being anlytical, informed, or any way energised by the material he is discussing. He simply doesn't, to my ears anyway, ring true
  

This man is an ex(?) police employee who brings nothing new to the table and is recycling selected 7/7 anomalies and red herrings

Farrell might be what he claims to be. However, as things stand, the persona he has projected so far is completely indistinguishable from a poorly implemented, low-budget attempt to co-opt 7/7 Scepticism by the intelligence community

In fact the strongest reason I currently have for believing that Farrell is an honest Truther is my doubt that the intelligence community would try a stunt as half-arsed, verging on the comical, as this. Spooks must take some pride in their work, surely?

Alex Jones closed his recent interview with Farrell by inviting him on as a resident criminologist to help break down and analyse incidents other than 7/7

It would appear that Farrell is not the only person incapable of distinguishing shit from shine

One to keep an eye on...

Charles Veitch has such lovely teeth

When I first went to university in the early 1980s I got to know one group of students, all ex private schoolboys from well to do backgrounds, who were members of the Socialist Workers Party. You could tell they were working class at heart, if not in background, by the donkey jackets and Doc Martens they wore

The 1984 Miners’ Strike was in full, bad-tempered, swing at the time. My SWP acquaintances would regularly zip up to potential confrontational hot spots with a view to getting stuck into police lines, in solidarity with their striking ‘comrades’

These passionate revolutionaries subsequently got their degrees and went off to work in accountancy, banking and legal firms; with a view to partnership and rearing the next generation of middle-class dickhead student activist

The miners, of course, all ended up on their arse and I doubt if many of them went on to become partners in City law firms

My mistrust of activists from privileged backgrounds consequently goes back almost 30 years

An ex-girlfriend of mine had an expression for rich kids who get down with the common people for a time, often fuck things up, and then return to pursuing their own genuine class interest. She’d spot one a mile off and mutter ‘down at heel, a mouthful of dental steel’

They do have such lovely, well-maintained teeth

Which brings me back onto the subject of Charles ‘Charlie’ Veitch

Veitch's latest outrageously satirical Youtube video. I got as far as 3:22. If he stops being a cock anywhere before the end of the clip could someone let me know

For the reasons outlined above, I freely admit that I was prejudiced against Veitch from the moment I first became aware of his existence

On the other hand, he did start off his Internet career by promoting the kind of subversive, non violent approach to activism that I personally warm to

So, I gave him the benefit of the doubt

...right up until he took a great big dump on the 9/11 Truth Movement, and the conspiratorial view of the world in general, a few days back

People have commented here and elsewhere that it does not matter that a solitary 9/11 Truther has publicly recanted his conspiratorial views

On one level that’s true. Veitch is not a 9/11 researcher and after listening to his reasons for accepting the Official 9/11 Narrative it is clear that he is either not very informed about 9/11 or pretending to be not very informed about 9/11. He is simply recycling pre-existing arguments in support of the Official Narrative and offering no good reasons for an informed 9/11 sceptic to adjust their opinion

However, the Veitch recantation may be useful to promoters of Official Narratives in other ways

I have seen no evidence which conclusively proves that Veitch is a conscious cognitive infiltrator. However, Veitch himself freely admits that he changed his views on 9/11 as a result of being part of a BBC production on the subject of 9/11 conspiracy theorists

So, at the very least, Veitch himself has been the successful subject of a deliberate act of cognitive infiltration

Which makes him a very special little muffin indeed

I cannot think of another case of a high profile ‘conspiracy theorist’ successfully being converted back to a non-conspiratorial world view

Praises be! The pickle has been turned back into a cucumber. The cult fanatic has been successfully deprogrammed back to being a ‘normal’ person

The BBC is going to make a meal out of this conversion in its 9/11 Conspiracy Road (to Damascus) Trip, big time

There are parallels with the BBC’s earlier 7/7 Conspiracy Files production, which also featured a leading (sic.) conspiracy theorist who hadn't been on the scene for very long before the programme was made and who was more than happy to be presented as a delusional idiot on national television

At a time when the resources available for investigative journalism are so meagre most productions have to be put together in a matter of weeks, the BBC still manages to devote months, sometimes years to the preparation of hit pieces targeted at conspiracy theorists

And the cherry on the cake for any self-respecting BBC hit piece worth the resources lavished upon it is the inclusion of at least one fool, whose ego is greater than his intellect, willing to offer himself up for ritual sacrifice

When all is said and done, no-one has ever became a Truther or stopped being a Truther as a result of watching the BBC. The service provided by the BBC is to provide viewers with narratives that at least appear to explain what’s going on in the world. It doesn't really matter if those narratives stack up or not, as the target audience won’t be subjecting those narratives to critical scrutiny

Contrary to the standard BBC psychobabble, there is nothing comforting about a conspiratorial world view. The average television viewer probably understands that, albeit subconsciously, and their psychological defence mechanisms cut in. The BBC exists to nurture and feed those defence mechanisms

Personally, I’m going to continue to keep an eye on Veitch’s antics because there’s more to come, that’s for sure. I’m going to do so, partly for pure entertainment value but mostly because I’m fascinated by the pathology of the cognitive disruption game

Thus far, my gut feel is that the sophistication of the mass of on-line loons is currently developing faster than the tactics and stunts being rolled out to deal with them - the controlled demolition of Charles Veitch included

.

Charles Veitch - off my Christmas card list

Hands up, I admit that I've linked to a couple of videos from Charlie Veitch's Love Police in the past

However, in recent months I've been somewhat uneasy about Charles' place in the scheme of things.

There was that business a few months ago when Charles posted a video of him and his girlfriend; glamorous, pouting, reality TV contestant Silkie Carlo, bigging up Julian Assange

Then he turns up in support of that personal hero of mine and 21st century British equivalent of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Lord Muad'dib of Canvey island (that was at the trial timed to coincide with the conclusion of the 7/7 inquest)

Then there was Veitch's well-publicised 'pre-crime' arrest before the recent royal wedding and Veitch's peculiar pre pre-crime arrest video where he sails off with the fairies and explains that he had been treated relatively leniently by the authorities thus far because he was being true to the path laid out for him by the Cosmic Consciousness

Which doesn't work too well for me as I can think of a long list of people who have been true to their conscience and had their heads blown off as a consequence

And that's without muck-raking around Charlie and Silkie's backgrounds

But there was always the possibility that Charlie was what he purported to be

However, as Michael Parenti said, 'Trust no-one except your family. And, even then, check them out once in a while'

Charlie Veitch on 9/11...

Case closed.

Little Rays of Sunstein pt2

The inquest into 7/7 London bombings concluded on Friday 6th May 2011

On the same day the J7 Campaign published a commentary on the Inquest and its verdict

A commentary which even a blogger who had previously dismissed J7 as a bunch of disinfo bastards described as being 'spot on'

Naturally enough, the mainstream press said nothing, and allowed nothing to be said, about the egregious way in which the inquest was carried out. An inquest which somehow concluded without having established how or where the victims of 7/7 were killed

Consequently, the only information outlets that could have conceivably broadcast the shortcomings of the 7/7 inquest were the internet-based Alternative Media

It didn't quite work out like that

The Alternative Media certainly covered a 7/7 related story and that was the news that on Thursday 12th May 2011 Anthony John Hill aka Muad'dib was acquitted of attempting to pervert the course of justice. The hearing had started on Monday 9th May, immediately after the conclusion of the 7/7 Inquest

The handful of us who have been critical of this Muad'dib character have been accused of indulging in ad hominem attacks and attempting to slander The Messenger rather than the message. As it happens, we have explained why we believe his message – the film 7/7 Ripple Effect – to be an example of distractive misinformation. However, yes, some of us have also taken issue with the fact that Tony claims to be the Messiah, the King of England, the King of Israel, and that millions will burn if the world does not acknowledge His Divine Majesty before he decides to shed his current form (i.e. die)

I do not think that making an issue of these claims is an unjustifiable ad hominem as it is relevant to the motivation behind his 7/7 associated behaviour. After 7/7 Ripple Effect was released Muad'dib engaged in a series of attention seeking antics. Stunts which had little prospect of furthering 7/7 truth but every chance of establishing his own notoriety. The Son of God allowed himself to have the piss ripped out of him by the BBC, attempted to interfere in a trial without the consent of the accused and he hassled victims' relatives

My contention is that his actions were always about promoting himself, that 7/7 was a means to an end and the intention always was for him to become the story, not 7/7

Well, he and his followers have got a result haven't they?

Not without a little help though

Whilst the 7/7 inquest was in progress I did my best to avoid falling into the trap. I tried to ignore the old charlatan and his conveniently-timed trial

A decision which placed me firmly in a minority within a minority

A quick game of Conspiraloon Connections...

Here's a photograph of Muad'dib and some of his biggest fans standing outside court on the day of his acquittal...


Muad'dib is the guy dressed as the Israeli flag and/or the Blue Fairy in the centre of the photograph...

I could be mistaken but I believe that the woman tugging on Muad'dib's arm to be Dolores Shayler's former landlady Belinda McKenzie. In the words of John Cleese, she should know that Muad'dib is the One True 7/7 Truth-speaking Messiah as she's seen a few

And I'm certainly not mistaken in spotting a monochrome Nick Kollerstrom in the photograph. Kollerstrom is, of course, the PR genius who put his name to a completely gratuitous piece of cut and pasting on the subject of Holocaust Revisionism which added absolutely nothing to the subject but did establish his credentials as a daft prat, shortly before appearing on the BBC's 7/7 Conspiracy Files show

I should also point out that Kollerstrom's Auschwitz piece was bold enough to go even further than most revisionists can stomach. Not content to simply downgrade Auschwitz to merely being a very unpleasant work camp where people died, Dr Nick went the whole hog and implied that it was virtually some kind of holiday camp – with swimming pools, picture postcards, soccer tournaments and a disco. An endorsement from David Irving's chum, the very fragrant Michele Renouf, was the cherry on the cake


Dr Nick has recently teamed up with that paragon of 9/11 Truthiness Uncle Jim Fetzer and is posting articles on Jim's blog, such as a sparklingly original piece on the possible use of doubles in recent Bin Laden videos

Which is the real Osama Dib Laden?

Given that the article required extensive cutting, pasting and rearranging of material from other websites which have already done the subject to death, Uncle Fezter is to be commended for his excellent casting decision

The reason why I became aware of Dr Nick's association with Fetzer was because Fetzer has recently popped-up in both Adrian Salbuchi and Kevin Barrett's podcasts, plugging both Dr Nick and Muad'dib (Kevin Barrett wrote the forward to Kollerstrom's book Terror on the Tube)

Adrian Salbuchi, in turn, has been plugging James Corbett who, in turn, just released a podcast of Muad'dib whittering on about the Stone of Scone

James Corbett, along with many other alternative news commentators, has taken to bigging up the vaguely unsettling Charlie Veitch in recent months

That would be the same Charlie who reportedly was thoughtful enough to pop round and offer Muad'dib cheery support during his trial

All timed to coincide with the conclusion of the 7/7 inquest

It's a small, small fucking world

But wait! There's more. Kevin Barrett's mate, the ever-truthy Gordon Duff over at Veterans Today has just slapped up an epic article devoted to stroking Gandalf's staff...

Suppressed News: “False Flag” Whistleblower Acquitted in Britain

VT's readership clearly includes some first-rate minds, as evidenced by this comment underneath Duff's piece...

"We conclude that Israel ordered the Mossad to carry out 7/7 with a high degree of certainty, with the odds against innocence being a minimum of tens of thousands to one"

Presumably, if they had some actual evidence of Israeli culpability in 7/7 then the odds would be even slimmer (a tediously fact-based opinion which proves that I'm obviously a Zionist shill with the odds against innocence being several million to one)

Even Alex Jones and Alan Watt got in on the act. Watt has even written a fucking poem about the latter day Solzhenitsyn

All of these people have focused on Muad'dib rather than the disgraceful 7/7 inquest

I swear, if I wake up tomorrow and Webster Tarpley or David Ray Griffin has started endorsing this bollocks I'm calling it a day and going back to Official Narratives

Or putting it another way, I've asked myself repeatedly wtf am I doing having to argue with people to be wary of some bloke who claims to be Jesus, has put his name to a demonstrably misleading piece of curiously professional film-making and whose court appearances are synchronised with an inquest of national importance? What the fuck would it actually take anyway?

I am not implying that all of the Alternative Media personalities listed above are disinformation operatives. I can think of many reasons why they could be innocently played the way they have been:

• The pace of current events is now so fast some of these characters can’t possibly research every issue they feel obliged to comment on

• Some are victims of hubris and reluctant to back away once they have been persuaded to give an endorsement

• (Sadly) the majority of conspiraloons have no more negative capability than non-loons. They prefer neat narratives, however weakly supported, rather than all that uncertain, partially known, partially unknown, fact based stuff that makes the world go round
  
  
• As far as some are concerned, as long as 'The Jews' get blamed they don't give a damn about much else

• Some are disinfo bastards

I've written this post not as part of some crusade against Muad'dib or Kollerstrom. Muad'dib will show his true colours in due course and Kollerstrom will probably bumble along cutting and pasting indefinitely

I have, however, been put out by the way reporting of the 7/7 Inquest has been overshadowed by the contrived antics of yet another White Man with a God complex

A couple of commentators under my previous post have said that the opportunity to publicise the 7/7 whitewash has now passed. I don't know that for sure but I am 100% certain that this Muad'dib thing was a perfectly timed and well executed distraction

Then there's the more general issue that this distraction was facilitated by Alternative Media which seem to be undergoing some form of consolidation and in the business of offering easily digested, undemanding, fact and reason impaired narratives

In that respect, the Alternative Media don't differ from the Mainstream Corporate Media very much at all

.

Little Rays of Sunstein pt1

Some time ago I promised myself to never to write again about the antics of a particular bunch of clowns who claim to be interested in researching what really happened in London on July 7th 2005

Actually, that’s not strictly accurate, as at least one of these clowns claims to know exactly what happened on 7/7 and has put his name to a film which asserts as much

The reason why I promised to try and lay off the folk in question was partly because I believed I'd written more than enough on the subject and partly because I wished to avoid wasteful, distractive conflict

Unfortunately, the regions of the Internet I inhabit are increasingly thick with one-sided and misleading accounts of the heroic deeds of these characters and I'm tired of watching this nonsense pass unopposed

I doubt if anyone visiting this blog needs me to elaborate on Cass Sunstein's paper on the strategy of Cognitive Infiltration. However, even before this strategy had a name, observation of the 9/11 Truth Movement in the US and the careers of characters such as Davids Icke and Shayler in the UK would have given some idea of how the State could seriously fuck-up the progress of researchers investigating a flawed State Narrative

Key tactics would include...

1. Establish eccentric, easily ridiculed individuals as being spokespeople for scepticism of the Official Narrative

2. Divert focus away from the flaws in the Official Narrative and towards supporting equally flawed Alternative Narratives

3. Pollute the environment with inaccurate information and generally waste sincere researchers’ time

In past posts I have documented how two individuals in particular have served the interests of the State by cognitively disrupting research into the 7/7 atrocity

I haven't the faintest idea if either is a knowing participant but I do know that they have caused distress to victims' families, offered themselves up to be presented as buffoons on national television, attempted to interfere with trial proceedings without consulting the accused, tried to associate themselves with sincere researchers who aren't acting like buffoons, made apologies for Hitler, claimed to be Jesus, claimed to be the King of England, claimed to be the King of Israel, passed off speculation about 7/7 as fact, and taken actual facts about 7/7 and mutilated them

Here's a photo of the people I'm talking about, taken at the end of a court case one of them got involved in as a result of his knob-end attempt at jury-tampering. A case which just happened to coincide with the conclusion of the 7/7 inquest. He's the messiah dressed as an Israeli flag...

'The Last Baby-Sitter on Earth 2011' quarter finals reach their thrilling climax

(presumably Michele Renouf was otherwise engaged as she usually likes this sort of thing)

The truly impressive aspect of their behaviour is that these characters have pulled this off with barely a squeak of criticism from the alternative media. Quite the opposite. Their output has been endorsed and disseminated widely, as I will illustrate shortly

In contrast, the handful of people who have actually expressed criticism of this cognitive bullshit have been ignored or accused of being Zionist shills. Myself included.

What is the secret of this success in the alternative media?

The trick is to simply assert, without any doubt or reservation, that 'The Jews' did it, whatever 'it' may be

Job done

Once you've got that under your belt you can say or engage in absolutely any form of stupidity you fancy - making stuff up, hassling bereaved people, claiming to be God. It's all good.

The important thing is asserting Jewish culpability. Everything else is incidental and permissable

However...

Call me old fashioned but I doubt very much that wickedness is restricted to 'The Jews' and I'll be fucked if I take to credulously endorsing any old unsubstantiated twaddle some lunatic comes out with, about 7/7 or anything else, without asking them to back it up first

When is an Inquest not an Inquest? pt2

The answer to the question 'What costs eight pounds fifty and is full of more holes than a string vest?'

There was already a long list of unanswered questions arising from the the Official 7/7 Narrative before the 7/7 Inquest commenced. Whilst I, personally, did not expect that the Inquest would answer, or even address, the majority of these questions I did expect that the Inquest would at least attempt to describe the composition and design of the explosive devices used on 7/7

Given that inquests are usually held to establish the how, when and where of unnatural deaths it was reasonable to expect that the 7/7 Inquest would at least pretend to offer plausible answers to these questions in the context of 7/7

Silly me

Rather than simply parroting other people's observations about the farce that is the 7/7 Inquest, I strongly recommend listening to 7/7 researcher and film-maker Tom Secker's recent interview with James Corbett here...

The Corbett Report - Tom Secker Interview

...as well as revisiting the J7 7/7 Inquest blog, particularly the entry covering the failure to carry out proper post-mortems on the 7/7 victims, here...

Colonel Mahoney, in Porton Down, with the flawed data

James Corbett has been one of the very few relatively high traffic alternative media personalities to give the Inquest anything like the treatment I believe it deserved. His interview with Tom Secker was part of an overview of the 7/7 Inquest which Corbett released as a podcast last Sunday. It is well worth a listen...

The Corbett Report - 7/7 is Still the Issue

Abstracts of the almost overwhelming number of contradictions, unanswered questions, acts of misdirection and sins of omission that peppered the 7/7 Inquest will doubtlessly follow, hopefully on this blog as well as other sources, once the proceedings have formally closed. But, f*** me, even by the standards of past whitewashes this inquest has set some kind of new benchmark. It can only have been pulled off in the sloppy way that it has with a prior expectation by the perpetrators of total media complicity

There has been one small aberration in the total media complicity which, as sure as night follows day, accompanied the 7/7 Inquest and that took place in the Guardian...

Jihadi who helped train 7/7 bomber freed by US after just five years. Exclusive: Release prompts claim Islamist was US informant while assisting London terrorist

and

The al-Qaida supergrass and the 7/7 questions that remain unanswered. The early release of a jihadi turned US supergrass who helped a London bomber has rung alarm bells. Shiv Malik reports on doubts held by the victims' families

However, welcome as this aberration is, it barely scratches the surface of the flaws in the Official 7/7 Narrative and does not even start to address the fact that the Official Narrative of what happened that day is now even less well supported by anything that approximates to admissable evidence than it was *before* the inquest started

There is a very strong possibly, now verging on a certainty, that person or persons unknown are being allowed to literally get away with murder

'Crash JP Morgan, Buy Silver' Update!!

Max and Minimax

Zany madcap financial commentator Max Keiser has an unparalleled track record of economic and geopolitical forecasting. So much so that the BBC gave him his own show called 'The Oracle'

Max's portfolio of uncanny predictions and empowering analytical insights include...

• prophesying that the Euro was shortly to become the world's reserve currency, a couple of months before it went tits up

• declaring his support for US Presidential candidate Barack Obama on the basis that there was a very good chance Obama would bring about 'change'

• connecting record cold, warm, wet, dry, windy, not windy, weather events with catastrophic anthropogenic global warming climate change disruption, as well as postulating that there may be some connection between weather and crop yields

• predicting that the US Comex gold and silver exchange would default catastrophically in 2008, which it clearly did, without anyone noticing
  

• foretelling that the US will distance itself from Israel in its hour of need, just like it abandoned South Vitenam

The man is a soothsaying sensation, though it's not immediately clear if he is simply a brilliant analyst, gifted with superhuman psychic abilities, or whether the Universe actually submissively conforms to His Will

From the moment Keiser started his 'Buy Silver, Crash JP Morgan' campaign a couple of months back I've been watching global silver prices like a hawk

Komment Macht Frei - all my favourite people, and ideas, in one handy place

Keiser's plan was simplicity itself. JP Morgan has (allegedly) been driving the price of silver down by selling billions of dollars of silver it didn't actually possess. If enough people were to call JP Morgan's bluff, buy physical silver and drive the price up, JP Morgan's positions would collapse and the price of silver would skyrocket - destroying an evil bank and enriching those who killed it in the same act

A brilliant plan. Of course, if JP Morgan were to ever implode the resulting costs and losses (plus a dollop extra) would simply be assumed in all our names by government. But, nevertheless, a really, really brilliant plan

So, how's it doing? How much money have the legions of junior league silver bugs who have followed Max's call to 'Buy Silver, Crash JP Morgan' made so far?


Yup, The Oracle is still truly at the peak of his powers


Actually, anyone who joined the 'Buy Silver, Crash Morgan' campaign would have potentially enjoyed an even bigger (negative) return than -10.48% over the last 30 days

Silver coins, even those without a collectable value, sell for a mark-up of 15% or more over the scrap value of their silver content. Max presumably knows all about the excellent mark-ups in the bullion biz, as his site is, coincidentally, sponsored by bullion dealers

On top of the dealer's margin, if you buy a silver coin in Europe it is liable for VAT of, typically, 20%

So, if you bought a 1oz silver coin for something like £24 a month ago, it is now worth a shade under £17 today. Your £7 loss being shared out amongst the bullion dealer, the government's creditors, and speculators like JP Morgan

Sweet

And, yes, the fiat price of silver, and most other needful things which can't be printed into existence, will very possibly rise ahead of wages and interest on savings but timing, as they say, is everything

In the meantime, as fundamentally worthless as fiat currency is, the Max Keisers and JP Morgans of this world will still sell their grannies for a pot of it

Or, as a fellow conspiranaut said "If you want to put your hand in our pocket Max, give our nuts a scratch while you're at it...." .

Mainstream Relief Valves #17 - George Carlin

Every self-respecting Conspiraloon has already seen the following clip numerous times but it is so beautifully expressed that I've never really tired of it

It's taken from 'Life is Worth Losing', a HBO Special by George Carlin

And what struck me the last time I watched the clip is the enthusiasm of the audience response to Carlin's routine.

In a handful of minutes Carlin, articulately and passionately, summarises the essence of Our predicament. The crowd clearly loves being told about how it is getting f*cked in the rear end and whoops and cheers every time Carlin pauses for breath

And then?

They all went home

And presumably carried on getting f*cked in the rear end as usual

Which, if you think about it for a moment, is quite peculiar behaviour


'You're getting f*cked!'

'Ha Ha, That's so true. Guffaw Guffaw'

'No really. I mean it!'

'Tee Hee. Got to go home now so that I can get up tomorrow and get f*cked some more. Ho Ho'


And if you think about it for a while longer, it's simple enough to figure out why Carlin, and people like Carlin, were and are allowed to have their little rants

Just as long as they're not offering any viable alternatives

I Can't Believe It's Not a Proper Inquest!! pt2

"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made. Thank you, thank you. Now excuse me I've got an inquest to run..."

Years ago, shortly after 9/11, I was arguing with a work colleague about the blatant inconsistancies in the Official Narrative of that particular atrocity.

The miraculous fire-proof passports were high on my list of bullshit, as was the suggestion that the hijackers had been cramming 767 flight manuals in the airport car park on the morning of 9/11. I also had big issues with the story that at least some of alleged Muslim fanatics had got lagered up in the Pink Pony titty bar the night before their 'martyrdom operation'

My colleague explained to me in the most patronising tone he could muster...

'But what you don't understand is that these Al Qaeda operatives are trained to blend in seamlessly into Western Culture'

Now, as it happens, he was the kind of seedy old sod who did frequent titty bars on business trips and probably does consider them to be the epitome of Western Culture, but that's by the by

My response to my colleague was

'Is there anything those men could have done that would have disproved that they were Al Qaeda terrorists?'

His answer was that they shouldn't have destroyed the Twin Towers

Basically, he already knew that they were guilty (because he had been told by the media that they were), and the details of anything they did before the attacks, however banal or contradictory to the notion that they were religious fanatics, was to be interpreted in that light

Once you adopt that kind of mindset absolutely anything a person you've identified as a criminal does will be damning proof of their guilt

-

Critical thinking clearly isn't as popular as it once was but, even so, it should still be fairly clear that theories which are phrased in a way that they can't ever be disproved, even if they are wrong, are not very useful theories at all

They are, however, the basis of much top quality comedy - including many a Marx Brothers routine, huge chunks of Catch-22 and the scene in Life of Brian where Brian denies that he's the Christ and is then informed that 'Only the True Messiah denies his divinity'

That which makes for top quality comedy does not, however, make for top quality inquests...


From the afternoon session on the 11th:

13 There is no evidence at all that we have seen to
14 suggest that the bombers were duped in some way so that
15 they did not know that they were going to die or, even
16 more absurdly, that they did not know that they were
17 carrying explosives at all. Indeed, such claims run
18 entirely contrary to all the evidence that I have
19 summarised so far.
20 It is right to say that the bombers were
21 surprisingly effective, it would seem, in concealing
22 their intentions from those around them. Tanweer played
23 cricket in the evening before putting the terrible plot
24 into effect and seemed more concerned, according to his
25 family, by the loss of his mobile phone.


You could write a longish essay exploring how many different flavours of intellectual dishonesty feature in the above extract from the 7/7 Inquest proceedings

but the short answer is, 'a lot'

A slightly longer answer can be found on the J7 Forum...


"This is utterly circular, and a complete nonsense.

The conclusion that there is no evidence that the alleged bombers were duped or otherwise unknowing suicide bombers is based on the assumption that they were entirely knowing. One piece of evidence that Tanweer was not a knowing, intentional suicide bomber (his playing cricket) is dressed up as evidence of the alleged 'concealing their intentions from those around them'. But this presumes that they were knowing, intentional suicide bombers, so the conclusion that there's no evidence of them being dupes or patsies is an implicit premise in analysing the very evidence that they were dupes or patsies.

When your conclusion is actually an implicit or explicit premise in your argument then your argument is circular. It also engages a certain degree of doublethink - evidence they weren’t guilty isn’t evidence they weren’t guilty, because we know they were guilty, and hence there’s no evidence they weren’t guilty.

This is a bloody pantomime. It not only presumes a desired conclusion, but seeks to refute 'conspiracy theories' by merely repeating the very thing the 'conspiracy theories' are questioning. It's like they've let the BBC's Conspiracy Files crew loose to carry out the inquests."

Tories back in power! F***ing AWESOME!!

Homesick...

For reasons that aren't important right now, I find myself in a position where I have to choose between continuing to be an expat or returning home to the UK

Until a few days ago I was all set to click the button, buy the ticket and return back to Blighty. A decision my family and close friends were supportive of

And then something interesting happened

Quite a few of my friends and family have started suggesting that I hold my horses and think about hanging on for a bit, certainly until my right to return to somewhere a long way from the UK becomes unconditional

Some have pointed to the relatively high cost of living and dire economic prospects of the UK as a reason for staying away. Both of which are very fair points. From the point of view of anyone who isn't an oligarch, the UK fucked

A couple of other people though have cited the newly, er, 'elected' Conservative government as a primo reason for keeping the Hell away from Dodge


Bollocks

Personally, I think the Tories back in power is awesome news and the best conceivable outcome for the recent General Election

and the fact that the Tories have been forced into an unholy coalition with the Lib-Dems is just icing on the cake

It matters not a jot which figurehead is in charge of the supposed government. The Lords of Finance Capital controlled what went on in the UK before the General Election, and continue to do so after the General Election

What can change as the result of the election is people's perceptions of what is being done to them

I remember 20 years ago when a quarter of a million angry people tore up London in protest against a Community Charge which, in the scheme of things, was pretty much fuck all

And since then, with the noble exception of the protest against the invasion of Iraq, not a fucking squeak

Maybe, now that the Tories are nominally in charge, all those muppets who stood by all the ghastly things Nu Labour inflicted on the UK and world over the last 13 years might get off their arses and start opposing some of those ghastly things

Instead of supporting a political party on the basis that 'At least they're not the Tories' maybe it's about time a few more people defined their beliefs in terms of what they think is right and decent

because there ain't been much in the way of righteous and decency in the way the UK has been governed for a long, long time

edit: and hats off to the Daily Mash, it continues to be by far and away the best serious news channel in the United Kingdom..

"Meanwhile the prospect of a Labour-led 'progressive' coalition has been welcomed by thousands of limbless Iraqis, torture victims and people whose DNA is now kept on a database because they signed a petition in the post office about a new bypass.

Abdul Al-Kaleem, a former limb owner from Basra, said: "I admire the British Labour Party. They managed to progress my legs off very efficiently, while my Uncle Karim was progressed over a wide area.

"I remember being handed what was left of his chin and thinking 'yes, this is definitely progress'..."
