Would you like to know more?

I was going to compare and contrast competing Visions of the Future by pasting up the Suicide Booth scene from Futurama, but the only online clip I could find that hasn't been taken down by the copyright bots was in Czech

Mind you, whilst unintelligible, it does have a charm of its own

And one of these days I would like to sit down and compile a list of all the characteristics of the genre of propagandistic film-making that I will forever associate with the Blair years in the UK.

There's a shared look and sound to the style of films I have in mind and they are often associated with the kind of 'Common Purpose'-esque, public-private initiatives which piss me off something rotten - however mumsy the voice over

Whilst I appreciate that many loons out there like to describe this propaganda as 'communist' or 'marxist', they're wrong. It is the product of an unholy merger of corporate and state power, and that is fascism, well mostly

I appreciate that it's easier for people who don't see themselves as lefties to identify anything they perceive as evil as being 'Marxist' or 'communist' (and for lefties to identify anything evil as being 'fascist') but the situation is a little more complicated than simplistic use of poorly defined or understood terms like 'Marxism' is capable of describing

The fact that unaccountable foundations, pressure groups and think tanks, like the one that made the video at the top of this post, are funded by big corporations as well as government should be a bit of a fucking clue as to the nature of The Beast.

If your definition of communism encompasses activities that are promoted by and benefit large, privately owned corporations and billionaire individuals it might be worth your while contemplating the internal contradictions in that point of view. I can understand how people might argue that a bastardised form of communism might, like so many other 'isms', be co-opted as a tool of those private corporations and billionaires but are those corporations and billionaires themselves communist? What word would you, should you use to describe them?

Peace through superior firepower

A few days ago I was engaged in conversation with a non-conspiratorially minded chum who works in UK property sales

Times are definitely a changing as, for the first time, he acknowledge to me that, yes, the UK possibly was headed towards a period of severe economic hardship for the massses. He was, however, confident that the UK government 'has got clever people working behind the scenes who can see what's coming and the government probably has already started spending money on starting up some industries that will help pay us out of the mess the country's in'

My response was that there is absolutely no sign of that whatsoever and that whatever industry we could think of getting into, the Asian economies can think of getting into with a much lower cost base.

Even if they consented to enduring the same standard of living as the Chinese or Indians, the wages of British workers cannot be slashed to be competitive with Chinese or Indian labour because UK property costs are so much higher. Property costs that the British have to meet directly in rent or mortgages and indirectly through the rentier element concealed within the price of essential goods and services

However, as I explained to my chum, I have seen copious evidence that the British, and other Western, establishments are preparing for the possiblity of some kind of economic collapse. They haven't invested much in the way of productive manufacturing industry but they have spent shed loads on tooling-up their police forces

But that, my chum argued, was necessary because of the threat of terrorism...

Evidently, he's still in need of a little more conspirasizing

-

I've been pulled up a couple of times in this blog for suggesting that British police have become more like para-militaries in recent years. The people who've pulled me up have have referred to the pitched battles, complete with cavalry, during the miners strike and the treatment meted out to people like Blair Peach and Stephen Waldorf as being evidence that the police have always been a bit 'tasty' when it comes to dealing with people who get in their way

And, yes, these commentators have a point but, with all respect, have you taken a look at the British police recently...


Even former senior coppers and yes, though I still can't quite believe it, Max 'Have you read my book about how great the SS were' Hastings have recently written articles suggesting that having machine-gun toting police who can execute people with impunity is probably not the way for supposedly civilised societies to go...

How can the public feel safe when the police are so scared?

Of course, the police have a tough job. But to shoot dead Mark Saunders like a mad dog was an affront to the values of a decent society

Sir Max Hastings - sole liberator of the Falkland Islands and born-again bleeding heart pinko fag subversive

But even these (presumably) principled voices against the militarisation of our police compromise their argument by agreeing that, because of the threat of terrorism, there is a place for some British policemen to be kitted out with the kind of weaponry and mentality that wouldn't be out of place in a 1970s junta, but only sometimes

Now, to me, it's plain as day that the Terror threat is being at least bigged-up, and possibly at least partially instigated, by the numerous interest groups that benefit from a society collectively crapping its pants

But that's actually a moot point

Even if I believed that the Terror threat was 100% genuine and as really, really scary as our Overlords keep telling us it is, we should still reject the surveillence state and militarised police on the time-honoured bases that those who surrender liberty for a little temporary safety really do deserve neither, that freedom has a price and that if we change our society in response to terrorism the terrorists have achieved their objectives

You will hear none of these arguments being promoted by British politicians, journalists or officially sanctioned (low) pressure groups like Liberty

The gun fashionably displayed by the group of licenced potential killers in this photo is a variant of the iconic Heckler & Koch MP5...




The MP5 can chuck out bullets at rates of up to 500-600 rounds a minute. It's black, it's scary looking and it can kill a lot of people very quickly. It's the kind of high-quality weapon that gives serious gun nuts a roaring chubby just thinking about it.

MP5s, and a smattering of the higher velocity H&K G36, are now a common sight in London in the hands of Metropolitan police officers. If you're ever at one of London's airports take a look up sometime and you'll see police officers at the mezzanine levels strutting around with their MP5s, presumably ready to cut loose from elevated positions of fire at the drop of a hat.

If you think about it for a moment that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Even if the quality of domestic terrorist was to take a quantum leap up from the kind of sad losers who make bombs out of flour and set fire to their underpants to the kind of terrorists who actually have access to guns, are the police really going to open fire with machine guns in crowded airport terminals? And, even if so, why do those armed police have to be there right in front of our fucking faces all the time?

The answer, I fear, is the same reason why the government sent light tanks to Heathrow before the invasion of Iraq. That weaponry is not there to scare potential (and, remember, allegedly suicidal) terrorists. It's there to scare us




The reason why I mention all of this now is because of this recent snippet from the State Broadcasting Company...

Police in training for 'Mumbai-style' gun attack in UK

...suspects were planning to copy the 2008 attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai*, where 10 gunmen went on a three-day rampage, killing 166 people and injuring more than 300, the sources said.

In response police armed response units are being given more powerful weapons.

Our correspondent said the UK authorities had been planning for such an attack ever since Mumbai* happened.

"David Cameron has taken a personal interest in the problem ever since his first threat assessment given to him when he took office in May.

"Now police armed response units are getting their firepower and their stocks of ammunition increased to deal with multiple terrorists armed with automatic weapons," he said.


More powerful than MP5s and G36s?!

What the fuck are they planning to start dishing out?

A few days ago I posted this clip as being a possible model for the introductory titles to any new TV series about the Metropolitan Police...

It was an attempt at weak humour

And it's weaker by the day



* = You remember the Mumbai attack, that's the one that included operatives with connections with US intelligence that the Indians are getting pissy about. A back-story that has been lavishly covered by the British State Broadcasting Company. Or, there again, maybe not.

And don't forget to read the hard-hitting, insightful and totally objective analysis from the SBC's totally unspooky Frank Gardner to the right of the article about UK police being armed with gatling guns or whatever the fuck it is they're getting. Frank's analyses are worth the State Propaganda Tax on their own

.

...and back to Michael Parenti

Michael Parenti - the quintessential pinko commie subversive

As an antidote to all that bullcrap from the BBC I've been linking to recently, here's me re-linking to a couple of talks by Michael Parenti which I consider to be absolutely essential listening for any budding Conspiraloons out there...

• CONSPIRACY & CLASS POWER - Part 1 - Part 2

• The JFK Assassination and the Gangster Nature of the State - Part 1 - Part 2

• Contrary Notions

Parenti is essential listening because his ideas break out from the narrow confines of what currently constitutes 'permissable' political discourse

Parenti is a very robust and articulate spokesperson for those of us who believe that...

• there is such a thing as an elitist class
• there is such a thing as an elitist class interest
• that elitist interest is pursued with sometimes deliberate, sometimes covert, intent

It goes without saying that those of us who hold the above parapolitical beliefs are currently dismissed as lunatic, whackjob conspiracy theorists

...very often by newspapers and television stations that are owned or controlled by that non-existent elitist class which has no vested elitist class interest and which pursues its non-existent interests completely in the open with total respect for all human life.

Sad to say, I'm unaware of any heavyweight British academics of Parenti's quality. Come to think of it, there aren't many North American ones either. Peter Dale Scott comes to mind

None of the above constitues an unqualified endorsement of Parenti. He advocates some views and solutions I personally disagree with but his analysis of the socio-economic structure of our current system is bang on the money imho

-

And whilst bigging up pinko commie subversives it's also worth mentioning a particular meme that's been doing the rounds on the conspirasphere since the current economic crisis entered a more overt stage...

That is the idea that, through the banking bailouts, the British and US governments are imposing Communism on their people via the back door

Hmmmmmmmmm, I'll just scratch my chin pensively for a second or two there

Maybe if the British and US governments were nationalising profitable businesses and putting them completely under state control then, yes, that could be a form of Communism

But what is actually happening is that the British and US governments are handing over stonking amounts of public cash, cash that will take generations to tax back off people, to the bankers in exchange for absolutely fuck all, and certainly no publicly-accountable control

That's as good an expression of Corporate Fascism*, not Communism, as you're ever likely to see

What's going on here is an awful lot of middle-class conservatives can see that they're getting buttfucked but cannot bring themselves to acknowledge that it's the very system they've endorsed all these years that is being harnessed to do the buttfucking

ergo, it must be communist in some way

yeah, right

hmmm, much cognitive dissonance

We didn't have genuinely free markets before the current crash got under way and they are not being replaced by communism. We lived under a oligarchical kleptocracy before the crash and we still live under a oligarchical kleptocracy after. The New World Order is the just the same as the Old One. It's just a tad more overt these days, that's all

I'd be the first person to acknowledge that populist concepts such as socialism, or environmentalism, or even religion get hijacked and subverted to suit elitist, totalitarian ends but that doesn't mean that ideals such as enviromental awareness, a desire for social justice or the natural human tendency for spirituality are intrinsically evil; even if some right evil bastards take control of them sometimes

There is, unfortunately, plenty of scope to get downhearted and depressed about the apparent power of the interests that would screw us all over and the flaws in the infilitrated movements which claim to oppose them but, fuck it, it's how we respond to the challenges in Life which define and shape who we are.

-

* = of course, according to some right wing loons, Fascism doesn't actually exist and all Bad Things that have been attributed to Fascism in the past are, in truth, Socialist. Take this comment recently seen on The Antagonist's blog for example...

"Talking of 'fascism' (a term you throw around with the abandon of a child with a toy) do a little research, comrade, and you'll discover that both Mussolini and Hitler were socialists. Not to mention Stalin, Mao and all the other squalid little regimes around the world that have caused the world so much suffering. They've probably notched up a good 250 million murders at least between them. Talk about state oppression!"

Yup, neither Mussolini nor Hitler were fascists. An outstanding expose of Real™ History

here's another fucking commie to add to the list

Pyramid Spotting

A little something to illustrate a comment underneath an earlier post...

University College London Hospital. Hmmm, pointy...

If the City of London is the centre of the financial power of the British oligarchical elite, the area around University College is the heart of its psychological and pharmaceutical power.

The City is about fucking with your wallet. Bloombsury is about fucking with your brain and your body

Bloomsbury is home to a delightful mix of state run academia, big pharma and benevolent (sic.) charitable foundations, all fused into one big yummy, indistinguishable mass; which some people would describe as fascistic but I think is just plain scary

The local architecture is a bit of a give-away

And one thing that continues to baffle me is, how when some of us point out that the oligarchical elite has a demonstrable fondness for fruity little clubs, rituals, symbolism and architecture, the sheer lunacy of the fruity little clubs, rituals, symbolism, and architecture is somehow laid at the door of the people doing the pointing out, not the people responsible for it all

Did I mention that the Tavistock Institute was founded in Bloomsbury?

The Big Picture(s)

The most thought-provoking collection of G20 Protest pictures I've seen so far...

Boston Globe - The Big Picture

(caution - contains Big Pictures)

That's the future boys and girls. A future that the Establishment has been busy preparing for, whilst the majority of the population were gorging themselves on crap, which they now have to pay for, and the minority of us who saw this coming were being dismissed as mentally unwell




Both Antagonist and Craig Murray are on the case




Craig Murray, in particular, appears to have gone totally berko in recent days and has laid into the Met, the British Government, the Israeli Government, the US Government, the EU, Nato and Tory bloggers. He also also raised the issue of agent provocateurs posing as Muslim and anti Capitalist protesters

I think someone must have upset him .

Falsifiability

"Wonderboy has left a new comment on your post "Don't hold your breath but...":

Question to all:

In the interests of tackling non-falsifiability, what would this footage have to show you to convince you that events of 7/7 were, pretty much, as narrative?"


That's a damn good question and one I always try and remember to ask myself whenever discussing alternative accounts of how the world works

-

I was fingerprinted for the first time in my life last week, as a transit passenger flying through the US on the way back to Britain.

Get off plane. Stand in a queue for 90 minutes. Get fingerprinted. Get back on plane.

The parallels with the imagery of people waiting to be processed into camps did not escape me

I'm still fuming about it

All in the name of that Bullshit War on Terror and those Bullshit Official Narratives

My intuition tells me with all its might that this entire business is a wicked, manufactured lie but that's no excuse to put my brain into neutral and accept any old crap just because it fits in with my gut feelings

-

First off, my own doubts about the Official 7/7 Narrative are not based on any one fact, or absence of fact

So, on its own, there's nothing that 7/7 footage could show which would convince me that Official Narrative is totally truthful

The withheld 7/7 footage might support that part of the Official Narrative to which it directly relates, but no more

One thing I am pretty sure of is that footage has been held back for more than three years

Which is strange

The authorities are so keen to advocate the benefits of CCTV surveillance that they usually fall over themselves in their haste to publish CCTV footage

So, there's something about that 7/7 video which has given the Establishment reason to hold it back

The reason which has been given, as I understand it, is that the footage is part of an ongoing investigation

Which is more than likely bollocks

All the (alleged) perpetrators are dead and even if there are any still left alive there's a pretty good chance they don't need to consult CCTV tapes to recall what they did or where they were that day

No, there's a very good possibility that the withheld 7/7 footage includes material that the Establishment doesn't want us mugs to see

I don't have an alternative 7/7 narrative and I don't claim to have unpublished material which supports any alternative narrative.

The burden should be on those who are using an Official Narrative (backed by unreleased alleged evidence) to support shit like this...



and this..


...to prove their story beyond reasonable doubt

They absolutely have not

though they have employed every slimy trick in the book to give the illusion that they have.

There's been no 7/7 inquiry or trial and there has been repeated and systematic misrepresentation of 7/7 related 'evidence' in the corporate media

The release of all relevant CCTV material from 7/7 held by the authorities would go some some way to rectifying the lack of evidence which supports the Official Narrative, but only a little way

And to fellow Loons who might feel the temptation to argue that 3 years is plenty long enough to fabricate 7/7 footage using the latest CGI technology I suggest checking out any recent Hollywood blockbuster to see just how shite CGI still is - why else do you reckon high def OBL videos are in such short supply?

If you want to win people over try not treating them like stupid dicks (or decapitating their children)

Anyone who's been trawling through the online news coverage and blogs commenting on the current Israeli assault on Gasa can't have helped but noticed that the GIYUS/ Hasbara astroturfers are out, pasting their mendacious justifications for slaughter, in force

What disgusts me most, aside from the slaughter itself, it just how fucking stupid most of their comments are

The tone of these troll comments seems pitched at someone with the intelligence of a 5 year old, or written by someone with the intelligence of a 5 year old




I'm not sure if that's because the racist, supremacist cocksuckers think us Goy are that stupid or if it's because they are that stupid

or, maybe, which is more than likely, a bit of both

Maybe you just can't get decent help these days

What I can say for sure is that, for me anyway, their efforts are having the exact opposite effect of the one intended

-





You do not win the kind of conflict the Israelis and Palestinians are engaged in with tanks and planes.

Those tanks and planes can kill a lot of people, sure enough, but for each person you kill another two or three vengeance seekers rise up and take their place

In the kind of conflict the Israelis and Palestinians are engaged in you either reach an accommodation with, or exterminate, the insurgent population before they out-breed you

The Israelis know that. Anyone with even a basic knowledge of military history knows that.

I, and a fair few other people, have a sick feeling that we know which long term, final, solution the current Israeli regime is aiming for

At the end of the day, no amount of feeble, patronising online trolling can hide the nature of the war that is being waged

This is not just a Hellfire missile. It's a specially programmed, melt in your classroom, school-seeking IDF Hellfire missile...

-

And, no, I'm not going to include in this post the almost mandatory 'I'm not Anti-Semitic but...' or 'There's a difference between Zionists and Jews...' style disclaimers.

When I mouth off about the excesses of the elites, paid shills and killers of other states, including the one I live in, I don't feel under any obligation to say 'I'm not anti Anglo-Saxon but...', so fuck that

Plus ça change pt231

Some classic Retroloonery from Harry H. Corbett, who really gets going about two minutes in...

...from a visual gag featuring a bag of underpants falling on someone's head to talk about the machine-gunning of trade unionists in the space of 60 seconds. British comedy was certainly different back then. Certain other things clearly haven't changed at all

Steptoe and Son was, of course, miles funnier when you found out that the two actors really did hate each other

cf. "In 1976 as Prime Minister, Wilson wished to have Corbett awarded an OBE, but the middle initial "H" was lost in the bureaucratic process, and the award went to the Sooty puppeteer Harry Corbett instead."

The Six Day War *was* pretty cool

When I was a kid I was, as many teenage boys are, fascinated by the history of warfare. I read the books. I watched the films. I made the models. I played the games.

If I had devoted as much time and energy to something useful I'd probably be fluent in about five or six languages

Of all the campaigns and wars I studied, one conflict struck a particular chord in my impressionable, totally fucking naive teenage brain...




The story of the plucky state of Israel...

• The three million against the two hundred million.

• A handful of desperate refugees, armed with nothing but some rusty WW2 surplus, living with the constant threat of being wiped off the face of the Earth by the Communist-armed Arab hordes

• A nation of citizen-soldiers who just wanted to grow oranges but who, in a stroke of righteous irony, reluctantly mastered the techniques of Nazi blitzkrieg to save themselves from ultimate annihilation
  

From an indoctrinated teenage war geek's point of view, the Six Day War was an impressive and inspirational feat of arms




Especially when you remember how those pesky Arabs were preparing to douse Israel with rockets armed with poison gas

now where have I heard that one before?

I totally bought it 100%. Hook, Line and Sinker. The whole myth

And why shouldn't I?

I didn't know any Muslims or Arabs and the Jews I knew seemed alright to me

And all the books, films and television I saw told the same story

But when I got a little older I started asking myself some questions the books, the films and the television didn't seem to cover...

• What had the Arabs to do with the Jewish Holocaust?

• What right did the Israelis have to Palestine in the first place?

• Why was it that Jews, of all people, thought that recreating Lidice or Oradour-sur-Glane in Palestine was the way to go about solving anything?

• Wasn't the expression 'Never Again?' supposed to apply to everyone?

and so on and so on

It also started to become clear, as I did some more grown-up study, that the Israelis weren't quite as outgunned as I was told they were, quite the opposite

And then I found out about stuff like the King David Hotel Bombing, the attack on the USS Liberty, the Lavon Affair, the Balfour Declaration and all the other staples of Anti-Zionist lore

Oooops, sorry

Much of that anti-Zionist lore stands up to critical scrutiny a lot better than any of the Zionist bollocks I was fed as a kid

I still feel, years later, like a complete dick for believing so much propaganda

The news, after the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, that the executioners had been trained by Israelis was just the icing on the cake.

After all, the Israelis have had sixty years of solid experience of really getting to the heart of what it takes to prevent terrorism. Anyone who doesn't want London to have that carefree, at ease with itself, Tel Aviv vibe just has to be bonkers





Short of some kind of Apocalypse, the state of Israel is not going away (and yes there are some loonytunes Christian Zionist whackjobs who are banking on just that eventuality)

But, personally speaking, I don't want to see any Apocalypses or the annihilation of nations.

Some small, tiny little, tweaks to the way the Israeli state goes about doing things; such as losing the racist apartheid shit and not bombing the crap out of people as part of some deranged, futile exercise in collective punishment, would be just fucking peachy though

The Brown End of the Wedge

I went out with some friends for a few beers last night and, as luck would have it, I found myself sitting for most of the night with an unobstructed view of the MI6 HQ across the Thames




Not being the greatest fan of the building even when sober, the effects of a few drinks only enhanced the malevolence of the place

Later on in the evening, back at home, I flipped on my computer for a few minutes of relaxing, semi-inebriated surfing. I found myself reading through the comments underneath Guido Fawkes' post on the subject of a video of Tory MP Damian Green's office being searched by anti-terror police...





The mix of right wing libertarians, conservatives and Little Englanders who comment on the site were understandably outraged at the implications of Green's arrest for civil liberties in this country

and all I could think to myself was 'Where was your outrage when the government was doing this to Muslims? Did you really think it was going to stop with just one group of people? Are you really that fucking stupid, you hypocritical, self-interested, narrow-minded, bigoted fucks?'

I banged my head against the keyboard a couple of times then went to bed...

.

Someone please wake me up and tell me I'm dreaming all of this...

Here's a delightful piece of news hidden away at the very end of a long, innocuous looking BBC article...

"...Under the plans, which have been devised by former cabinet minister Alan Milburn, 10-year "franchises" for services such as GPs and colleges would be up for tender.

Others proposals include making grant-funded students who drop out of university pay back part or all the money.

Also, forcing local authorities to spend more money on youth services and the creation of civilian security force consisting of military trainers, civil servants, police officers, judges and other logistical staff."

Giving up Liberties for Freedom pt315

I've just been booking tickets for my dear old Mum to fly to New Zealand next year

You can either fly via Asia or via the US. If you travel through the US you get twice the baggage allowance

Unfortunately, my Mum's passport isn't one of the new chipped jobbies required to travel through the US - which means she has to either get a new passport or apply for a C1 Transit Visa...


C-1 Visa - Transit

In general, travelers in transit through the United States require valid C-1 visas. That is unless they are eligible to transit the United States visa free under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), or they are a national of a country which has an agreement with the United States allowing their citizens to travel to the United States without visas.

If you are not eligible to transit the United States under the VWP, or are not a national of a country where visa requirements are waived, you will be required to apply for a transit (C-1) visa before traveling.

All C-1 visa applicants, even children and babies listed in parents' passports are required to:

* Complete the visa application form DS-156.

* Pay a visa application fee;

* Present a passport or other travel document valid for at least six months beyond the holder's period of stay in the United States with at least one blank page - the six-month requirement does not apply to United Kingdom passports;

* Provide one photograph which meet State Department regulations;

and present evidence of

* sufficient funds to cover all expenses while in the United States; and

* evidence to show that the applicant has a residence abroad to which he/she intends to return at the end of the stay in the United States. This is generally established by evidence of family, professional, property, employment or other ties and commitments to some country other than the United States sufficient to cause the applicant to return there at the conclusion of his/her stay.


plus, of course, there's the compulsory fingerprinting of all arrivals to the US, even if they're transiting on the way to somewhere else

We've opted to give the Land of the Free a miss and fly through Commie controlled Hong Kong instead

The F words

Whilst the UK might be the undisputed CCTV/ data mining capital of the world we Brits do currently lag a little behind some other countries when it comes to actual boots on the pavement

I've spent a fair bit of time in Italy this year and its government is leading the way when it comes to deploying combat troops within its own borders

In July the army was deployed to deal with those pesky immigrants...

Italy puts the army on the streets to deal with illegal immigration

In September it was shhhh, you know who's turn...

Italy to send army to fight mafia

A somewhat unsettling precursor to martial law for some. A welcome return to the good old days for others

The underlying motive for reacquainting Italians with the joys of soldiers on their streets might possibly have something to do with the fact that the Italian economy is, oooh that close, to going completely tits up. A lot of money is currently being bet, in the form of Credit Default Swaps, on the possibility that Italy may default on its debt obligations

In keeping with the retro theme of soldiers on insolvent Italian streets, former Nazi/ CIA/ fascist junta collaborator and freemasonic puppetmaster par excellence, Licio Gelli also appears to be making a bit of a comeback

Not only is Gelli going to get his own TV show but it is rumoured that, in the wake of his appearance in a series of hard-hitting vermouth adverts, George Clooney is set to play Gelli in a major motion picture of his inspiring life story

Licio Gelli

Gelli's life story is, of course, Conspiraloon Heaven, featuring as it does...

• False flag, state sponsored terrorism, including train bombings
• CIA backed destabilisation of democratic governments
• Shadow governments
• Corporate corruption of media, religion and politics
• Massively dodgy banks
• Lots and lots of Freemasons ...Fascist Freemasons
  

The only essential ingredient missing from the mix as far as I can tell is a few Zionists, which must be an awful disappointment for those Loons out there who are certain that Zionists are responsible for all of the world's ills

It's no surprise that anti-Loons do their very best to encourage collective amnesia about the whole Gelli/ P2/ Gladio/ Strategy of Tension/ Bologna Bombing thing. What it represents is a very well documented, undeniable example of the kind of covert wickedness we 'tinfoil hatters' believe to be taking place in the here and now. The sheer, all-pervading lameness of the excuses used to discount the significance and implications of the P2 scandal would almost be amusing if the issue wasn't so serious

Now that someone with the powerful gravitas of Clooney is on the case, the days of the conspiracy of silence are clearly coming to an end.

In the meantime, I heartily recommend reading up on The Strategy of Tension/ Gladio because, contrary to the line taken by the ignorant, establishment arse kissing twunts who make up the officially sanctioned voice of dissent, it wasn't that long ago and it wasn't that far away
