Answers to last weekend's competition...

Why did police charge only 11 rioters over the anti-cuts protests?

Gosh, that is a tough question. It's a conundrum wrapped up in an enigma...

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

FF15MP Spot the Difference Contest #23

Good ol' Phil

Now, as it happens, I've attended a few of the demos where these kind of offending placards have been displayed and, yes, it's always limited to a handful of demonstrators who operate outside of the mass of far more pleasant protestors (who occasionally offer to share their packed lunches with white infidels such as myself - I recommend the samosas) and, yes, the press photographers do spurn taking representative images and prefer to cluster around the half a dozen rent-a-fanatics like flies around shit

And if your answer to the Spot the Difference Challenge was something like 'at least the BNP would pull the UK out of Iraq and Afghanistan', help yourself to a sweetie from the jar at the front of the room

The Smallest Policeman in the World - The Sequel

Small Copper, Big Mullet

A week or so ago there was a spurt of outraged tutting about the story of a British street photographer arrested in Kent under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act

What interested me in particular was the photographer's account of comments made by one of the police officers who arrested him...

"For a further 5-10 minutes I stood in the street in full view of passers by handcuffed and accompanied and intermittently spoken to by officers xxxxx and xxxxx. Whilst sharing their views about the threat of terrorism officer xxxxx stated she had felt threatened by me when I took her picture. I cannot recall exactly what she said but I do recall her referring to my size and inferring she found it intimidating at the time (I am 5ft 11in and weigh about 12 stone)"

...which reminded me of something that happened to me a couple of years ago when I was photographing a demonstration in Whitehall (as per a longish post I made at the time here).

Cutting a long story short I was on the receiving end of a totally unlawful bout of harassment from an under-sized WPC who kept closing in on my personal space, under the watchful eye of half a dozen over-sized police officers not too far away.

It got to the point where I had to repeatedly back-off with my hands in the air, just on the outside, maybe not that outside, chance that I was accused of assault and had the crap kicked out of me; as I had already seen happen to another unfortunate half an hour before

All in the course of protecting the public from evil doers and trouble-makers, no doubt

My potential victim clearly knew what she was doing, as did I

These two stories, in turn, reminded me of the adventures of the Smallest Policeman in the World (actually, I've seen a couple, not just one) who gets wheeled out at select demonstrations and staged photo-opportunities featuring large, scary Muslims - especially recent converts with intriguing CVs




Does the Met have a conscious policy of using short-arses and women to make radical IslaMI5ts look scarier and photographers or other persons of interest look like dangerous thugs ?

Fucked if I know

But, speaking as someone who's been on the receiving end of some seriously dodgy behaviour, I have my concerns. The Metropolitan Police started losing my trust with this kind of provocation, plus the occasional public execution, long ago

Be warned

.

Does something about this scene stink? Or does something about this scene stink?

Not Scary

Scary

One of the above scenes was out of the control of, and scared the shit out of, the Powers That Be.

The other wasn't, and didn't

If I had more time I'd wax lyrically and extensively about why yesterday's G20 protests in London were so very, very shit

But I haven't, so I won't

The short answer is that, here in Blighty anyway, opposition to the UK and Global Establishment is fragmented and lacking in a coherent ideology like never before.

None of which happened by accident

And, outside of beliefs which are discounted as conspiracy theorizing, there isn't even the faintest sign of any such coherent ideology developing in the foreseeable future

In the UK anyway

Other countries are less irredeemably fucked

I'm pretty damned certain that the Germans, or the Italians, and definitely the French or the Greeks would have put on a better show

There's a very good reason why the UK has been turned into the CCTV capital of the World

We let Them

A nice illustration of just how fucked up things are was the police behaviour at the 'climate camp' yesterday.

Not only did the police go in harder against climate protesters, holding their hands in the air chanting 'this is not a riot, this is not a riot', than they did against the shills/ muppets at the RBS window-breaking photo opportunity, those climate protesters were actually unknowingly supporting the eugenicist, carbon-taxing agenda of the same people who ultimately control the police anyway

Heads I win, tails you lose

No - coherent - opposing - ideology

Totally, totally fucked


However, looking on the bright side...


er...

edit: though this forum posting on the subject of yesterday's demos made me laugh...

Welcome back to Grate Britain

"Welcome back though – you’ve just come back for next week’s violence haven’t you – you miss it really, don’t you. Last week I was thinking of taking a day off and attending the violence personally, but my foot has put paid to that. I also would not be able to run away from the violence properly. Will your Wednesday/Thursday be flavoured with violence, mano-mano, on the streets, with a camera?"
