Very serious charges at the Met

I haven't seen too much crowing in cyberspace about the demise of part-time Ridley Scott lookalike and full-time shit copper Ian Blair earlier this week

Sir Ian Blair

The problem is, I think, the fact that there's a very strong possibility that Blair is going to be replaced by someone even more reactionary than he is

Whilst undoubtedly perplexing for those of us who have issues with Blair because he repeated untruths about JCdM, blocked the investigation into JCdM's execution and was an enthusiastic and high-profile booster of the nonsense War on Terror fairytale, the biggest criticism of Blair promoted by the establishment media was that he was 'too PC' and too soft on potential evil doers

Not that I personally expect Blair's successor to be that different from Blair

Conspiratorial thinking aside, it's a plain fact of Life that the people who rise to the top of large institutions usually do so not because of any technical ability they might have but because they have mastered internal politics or have been mentored by masters of internal politics

If you're busy trying to do your job properly there's no way you've got the time to get stuck into the serious business of putting the shaft into your fellow team members

And the bigger the organisation the more scope there is for dead weight, non accountability and parasitism

The Metropolitan Police, and every other large, centralised organisation, all the way up to old favourites such as the EU, the UN and the big corporate cartels are and always will be Institutionally, and inherently, Corrupt

and you don't need to be a Conspiraloon to acknowledge this

and then, popping my Conspiraloon hat back on, you've got to admit that stuffing the special duties sections of our police forces with serial shaggers and the kind of dishonest fuckers who have no qualms about getting beered up on tens of thousands of public money does make for a very malleable security establishment doesn't it

and if that doesn't work it's nothing an ill-fated camping holiday or Sunday afternoon stroll in the woods can't solve

Mainstream Conspiraloons - #456 Sy Hersh, #457 Keith Olbermann

I find the Hersh piece particularly interesting as it repeats the lie that no US leader, and by implication no other leader of a 'free world' country, would knowingly make a decision that would result in the death of fellow countryfolk

• It's a lie because it assumes that members of ruling elites give a damn about people outside of their class, just because they live in the same country

• It's also a lie because, by necessity, people in the business of war routinely make decisions which they know will result in the death of fellow countrymen. Every time a politician or general commits troops to combat they know some of those troops will die as a result of that decision.
  
  Some simple maths, combined with belief in a higher purpose, will dictate whether those leaders consider those casualties 'a price worth paying'.
  
  A decision made somewhat easier by the fact that someone else will invariably be doing the paying
  

So...

Plus 10 Conspiraloon Loyalty Points to Hersh for breaking that particular story about Dick Cheney and pals brainstorming a false flag operation in Iran

Minus 9 points for qualifying it with a suggestion that it didn't happen because Dick Cheney and pals gave a shit about the potential casualties

Dr Dragon - an update

Yes, that website I linked to in my last post is indeed a hoax

and yes, I did think it was iffy when I linked to it (42 pages of unrelenting porn spam on the site forum was a bit of a clue) but no more iffy than any of the other Karadžić coverage we've been blasted with over the last few days

Radovan Karadžić

And if you're willing to believe that someone as infamous as Karadžić managed to live amongst his adoring countryfolk unrecognized for over a decade, thanks to the magical cloaking powers of a really big bushy beard, you're also probably willing to believe that he's going to be allowed to dish the dirt in open court on all the grubby little deals he was party to

Just like Saddam Hussein did(n't)

If you go into the woods today...

The idyllic British countryside – now under serious threat from having its rights of way clogged by fly-tipping of unwanted establishment corpses

It would seem that, sadly, but predictably, the conspiracy ghouls are out in force already concerning the tragic death of Chief Constable Michael Todd

Personally, I think that any continued speculation about the circumstances surrounding this tragic death will serve no other purpose than to inflict needless additional suffering on his friends and loved ones

Essential British Outdoor Kit #22: Gin

Why can't people simply accept that Todd took his own life/ died accidentally, surrounded by a mound of suicide notes/ not surrounded by a mound of suicide notes, by drinking half a bottle of straight gin (no tonic or lemon) and slitting his wrists/ not slitting his wrists/ taking some pills/ throwing himself off a mountain and was clearly in a disturbed state of mind/ not in a disturbed state of mind in the days leading up to this tragedy, as already so clearly established by the mainstream media?
