Shameless, Hypocrite US Capitalist Oligarchy Refuse Entry to Former British Ambassador

Shameless, Hypocrite US Capitalist Oligarchy Refuse Entry to Former British Ambassador https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y200nnocMY Craig Murray https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/09/thought-dangerous-usa/ Thought is Dangerous to the USA 5 Sep, 2016 I have been refused entry clearance to the USA to chair the presentation of the Sam Adams Award to CIA torture whistleblower John Kiriakou and to speak at the World Beyond War conference in Washington DC. Like millions of British passport holders I have frequently visited the USA before and never been refused entry clearance under the visa waiver programme. I shall apply for a visa via the State Department as suggested but I must be on a list to be refused under the ESTA system, and in any event it is most unlikely to be completed before the conference. It is worth noting that despite the highly critical things I have published about Putin, about civil liberties in Russia and the annexation of the Crimea, I have never been refused entry to Russia. The only two countries that have ever refused me entry clearance are Uzbekistan and the USA. What does that tell you? I have no criminal record, no connection to drugs or terrorism, have a return ticket, hotel booking and sufficient funds. I have a passport from a visa waiver country and have visited the USA frequently before during 38 years and never overstayed. The only possible grounds for this refusal of entry clearance are things I have written against neo-liberalism, attacks on civil liberties and neo-conservative foreign policy. People at the conference in Washington will now not be able to hear me speak. Plainly ideas can be dangerous. So much for the land of the free! https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/09/thought-dangerous-usa/ PETITION To: U.S. State Department Tell U.S. to Let Craig Murray into the Country LINK | PETITION TO US STATE DEPT TRANSCRIPT SOURCE VIDEO Why Did US Just Bar Former British Diplomat https://youtu.be/4y200nnocMY  The Real News [For quotation purposes, confirm audio] PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT Narrator Over the weekend, the United Stated denied entry to an unsuspecting individual, former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murry, who ten years ago made the critical mistake of exposing the Uzbek torture system that we now know the Americans supported and the British condoned. He was scheduled to participate in an awards ceremony next week ... John Kiriakou CIA Whistleblower We're talking about a British diplomat, a highly respected — an internationally respected British diplomat, a whistleblower in his own right; an exposer of torture, who has travelled to this country, dozens and dozens of times. And then, for reasons that have not been explained to him, finds himself banned by the United States. Narrator The Sam Adams [Associates] award for Integrity and Intelligence is given out annually to someone who shows moral courage in the midst of wrong-doing on the part of the state. Ray McGovern Founder, Sam Adams Associates In 2006, the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity and Intelligence decided to award Ambassador Murray our annual award for integrity ... he came and talked at several of our Sam Adams awards ceremonies here in the States and also at Oxford — we did two there.  We did more or less one in Berlin.  We go where the people are. Narrator Ten years after having won the award himself, Murray is still at home wondering how his name received what the State Department and Homeland Security call a 'hit'. Peter Van Buren Whistleblower, former Foreign Service Officer It means that the Department of Homeland Security believes that Ambassador Murray may be ineligible to enter the United States, under one of the categories of ineligibility. Peter Van Buren is a former United States foreign service employee turned whistleblower, after he heavily criticised the United States reconstruction effort in Iraq. Van Buren also just wrote a piece for Consortium News, that someone like Murray may have received a 'hit'. Peter Van Buren Whistleblower, former Foreign Service Officer More often than not, particularly in cases like Ambassador Murray's where there are political components, what we'e got is a likely potential 3(b) violation, or potential violation, which means terrorism. You don't have to be a terrorist to fall under this category ... you can just be placed on one of these watch lists, by any one of the dozens American intelligence agencies and organisations that are allowed to 'nominate names' — and they do love their Orwellian vocabulary — nominate names to the list. Narrator In his relatively short tenure as Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray uncovered a torture infrastructure within the country that once silenced Uzbeki dissidents and fed the Americans shaky intelligence they were so desperate for, as the 'war on terror' in Iraq and Afghanistan began to unravel. In 2009, five years after Murray had left the British Foreign Office, but still seven years away from being denied entry into the United States, Murray spoke at that year's Sam Adams awards ceremony, which took place in Washington DC at American University. Craig Murray Former British Ambassador You know, there are over 10,000 political prisoners in Uzbekistan. Anybody who is a religious Muslim of any kind, no connection to terrorism; anyone who prays five times a day, as prescribed, will be arrested as a terrorist. Any young man with a beard will be arrested. Narrator He subsequently sat down with Real News editor, Paul Jay, to expand on the disturbing revelations that ended his career as ambassador. Craig Murray Former British Ambassador Many of them are killed at their [?] terrible, literally Stalinist Gulags:  they are in the old Stalinist Gulags which are still there, like Jaslik(?) in the middle of the Kyzylkum Desert, and people are tortured dreadfully.  The most appalling tortures that you can think of, on a routine basis.  If you are arrested, you're going to be tortured; and that means you're going to have a broken bottle inserted in your anus; you're going to have your neck broken; you're going to have your feet held over a fire; you're going to be suffocated by having a blocked gas mask put on your head.  Even, I came across instances of children tortured in front of their parents. You shouldn't forget the purpose of the torture was to get false intelligence which vastly exaggerated the threat from al-Qaeda. It vastly exaggerated the strength of al-Qaeda in Central Asia, and people knew that. Narrator Murray saw the Western powers like the UK and the US were far more interested in profiting from Uzbekistan's oil reserves and vital geopolitical position than they were with human rights. Craig Murray Former British Ambassador Uzbekistan sits at the heart of Central Asia.  It has half the population of Central Asia.  It really dominates the region. And Central Asia has the world's largest untapped reserves of oil and gas. So anyone who is interested in acquiring influence over hydrocarbon reserves needs to be in Uzbekistan. The Uzbek government plays this to its own advantage. The Uzbek government has no interest in [???] its own advantage, and is quite happy to switch between different world powers as it's able to get something out of them. Narrator Murray says that when he went over to Uzbekistan in 2002, the US viewed Uzbekistan, and especially its late President Islam Karimov (who coincidentally just died last week), not only as a long-term interest in the region, but also as maybe the most important ally of Central Asia when it came to the 'war on terror'. Beyond firing off a steady stream of intelligence memos and reports to the CIA, which were then being forwarded to the British intelligence service MI6; and beyond allowing the United States to set up its crucial Karshi-Khanabad airbase, the Uzbeks were engaged in a program of extraordinary rendition with the United States, of so-called 'suspected terrorists', and it happened to be a part of a network of black sites that spanned across many countries. Craig Murray Former British Ambassador The CIA were flying people in to be tortured, and I reported that officially to London is as many words; and this is in, you know in 2003, before anyone had even heard of the words 'extraordinary rendition'. I didn't realise that the people being flown in were not Uzbek. The idea that, you know, strangers would be flown in to be tortured— Interviewer Subsequently how do you know that that's the case, because essentially you're saying that CIA was flying people in to be tortured in Uzbekistan. Craig Murray Former British Ambassador I knew the CIA people who did it. There weren't many expats in Uzbekistan.  You're talking, quite seriously, of (not including military personnel) three or four hundred British and American expatriates in the whole of the country. So, not surprisingly, we used to drink in the same bars and meet. And I actually knew of the CIA people who flew people in.  Subsequently, we've learnt a great deal more.  For example, the Council of Europe inquiry into extraordinary rendition showed that 90% of the flights which took prisoners to the secret base in Poland at Szymany flew on to Tashkent as their next destination. There's a great deal of other evidence that this was a part of a global transportation of prisoners. ------- Other ------- Poland feels sting of betrayal over CIA 'black site' http://archive.is/1N4DX Poland admits role in CIA rendition programme http://archive.is/VnRi4#selection-763.1-763.47 Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence AWARDED TO: JULIAN ASSANGE Aussie Journalist WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Page 1 Page 2  23 October 2010, London COMMENT American capitalist oligarchy can't help themselves:  proving they really are running a corrupt, totalitarian state. Even Russia, the US-Anglo capitalist target and official 'enemy', hasn't refused a critical Craig Murray entry.  LOL Bet the CAPITALIST-OWNED CORPORATE MEDIA won't be highlighting this totalitarian state of affairs. P.S.   Just read some of Murray's blog.  Comes across as a super softie.  Way soft from my perspective (I've no problem with challenging threats of the religious kind etc ... but I'm not really big on the senseless torture that Uzbekistan and CIA seem to like).  Anyway, I can't believe they banned Murray's entry.   P.P.S.  Screw the 'Fourth Estate' Sam Adams awards nonsense:  there is NO Fourth Estate. There NEVER HAS BEEN.  The Fourth Estate is a LIE. WikiLeaks is the only exception in how long?  How many hundreds of years of press/media lies and capitalist information control and exploitation of the people the capitalists have now moved onto robbing of even their nations?  That would be 566 years of capitalist lies before WikiLeaks was established ten years ago, making it a total of 576 years of nothing but capitalist press lies and censorship: The printing press was invented in the Holy Roman Empire by the German Johannes Gutenberg around 1440 ... [wikipedia] And the filthy capitalist partnership that is the US-Anglo Capitalist Empire destroyed the last vestige of the Holy Roman Empire when it twice unleashed capitalist war on Germany, and in the process the US-Anglo capitalist partnership has destroyed all of Europe and all European societies since WWII. All there is is rule by CAPITALIST OLIGARCHY, fortified by their propaganda organs:  the press / media and so-called 'social media', exploited, controlled and censored by despicable self-serving capitalist turds like Mark Zuckerberg. Once the criminal US-Anglo capitalist oligarchy imprison or murder Assange, that's the end of that road.  Back to nothing but propaganda, indoctrination and lies from capitalist owned and controlled, government and CIA colluding, Western corporate media.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT) Deliberate attempt to ramp up tension between Eastern Europe and Russia at the moment WEST DELIBERATELY STOKING UP ANTI-RUSSIAN FEELING [CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE] About to watch some more of this. Find Craig Murray interesting. But, judging by previous exposure, I'm not into the Srechko Horvat guy's views ... at all. However, I expect my views would not accord with that of Craig Murray or Julian Assange, at the end of the day, due to their 'humanitarian' universalist stance, which I reject in its entirety. Not sure how I managed to ignore this factor.  Guess it didn't seem so important before.  But it really is a huge difference in mindset and difference in desired political outcomes etc.  ... so this stuff is probably not a good fit for me, although I do find aspects interesting and informative.  But I guess it's always good to know how the other side operates.  These people may as well be the detested 'left', even if they do not consider themselves on the left, as they have adopted universalist leftist academic-evangelised social and political values (which impact in a number of detrimental ways) and, as such, they may as well be the cheer squad of capitalist globalism.   Well, that's my take. To me, given the acceptance of establishment-endorsed universalist ideology/positions that has been handed top-down to the public over decades of nation dismantling, these figures are the establishment.  So it's kind of weird having a banner in support of the release of a member of the politically persecuted novel publishing part of the establishment intelligentsia, or that's how it feels to me at the moment. Craig Murray's something of a rebel ex-ambassador, but the 'humanitarian' position is symptomatic of values endorsed by post-WWII US-Anglo capitalist ascendency, that controls financial institutions, currency, trade, & has introduced detrimental, sovereignty usurping & European peoples divesting supranational bodies & treaties, and has promoted uniformly Western-adopted and establishment endorsed, top down, social and national identity dismantling ideology, that is tool of a thousand evils committed against European nations (which is primary to me), and against others abroad.  In Murray's case, if it's not the product of post-WWII indoctrination, it must be the product of Christianity, which is just as noxious as post-WWII capitalist indoctrination. LOL ... bet this secular 'humanitarian' religion is the product of the CIA's programs and efforts. Just resumed watching this:  this Western establishment intelligentsia mob is more concerned about an intervention in Libya (which is destroyed after several years of civil war),  than they are concerned about the destruction of Europe itself.  No concern for the decades-long rape of European women and the destruction of the indigenous European homelands:  let's just make sure that invading aliens are escorted safely to Europe.  What is wrong with the brains of these people? I'm so f*cked off watching this, and I've only just begun.  I'm not sure I can watch this.  ESTABLISHMENT SPONSORED & SERVING INTELLIGENTSIA FULL OF CRAP while shilling for capitalist-serving sovereignty, democracy & self-determination USURPING supranational bodies & SUPPRESSION of  EUROPEAN IDENTITY & VITAL INTERESTS 25% of Brussels is not even European [MAGNIFICATION:  RIGHT-CLICK SELECT:  OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB]  -------/\/\/ Turns out I don't get to watch this video properly for a bit ... I was running a bath I forgot about & I've flooded the house (again).  Badly.  LMAO.  Went for a massive skid on the tiles.  There's ankle deep water in three rooms. I'm in trouble.  I've been told off  by someone who has had to rush home to rescue me with the dry/wet vacuum.  Been yelled at for being into my 'internet diarrhoea' & told the bath taps will be dismantled.  LOL ... I hope not.  I do like a bath ... when I remember not to flood the place.

Corporate Media Whores Strike Again: Panama Leak | Mossack Fonseca Papers

Article SOURCE https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/04/corporate-media-gatekeepers-protect-western-1-from-panama-leak/ Corporate Media Whores Strike Again:  Panama Leak | Mossack Fonseca Papers SOURCE https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/04/corporate-media-gatekeepers-protect-western-1-from-panama-leak/ Corporate Media Gatekeepers Protect Western 1% From Panama Leak 54 3 Apr, 2016 Whoever leaked the Mossack Fonseca papers appears motivated by a genuine desire to expose the system that enables the ultra wealthy to hide their massive stashes, often corruptly obtained and all involved in tax avoidance. These Panamanian lawyers hide the wealth of a significant proportion of the 1%, and the massive leak of their documents ought to be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately the leaker has made the dreadful mistake of turning to the western corporate media to publicise the results. In consequence the first major story, published today by the Guardian, is all about Vladimir Putin and a cellist on the fiddle. As it happens I believe the story and have no doubt Putin is bent. But why focus on Russia? Russian wealth is only a tiny minority of the money hidden away with the aid of Mossack Fonseca. In fact, it soon becomes obvious that the selective reporting is going to stink. The Suddeutsche Zeitung, which received the leak, gives a detailed explanation of the methodology the corporate media used to search the files. The main search they have done is for names associated with breaking UN sanctions regimes. The Guardian reports this too and helpfully lists those countries as Zimbabwe, North Korea, Russia and Syria. The filtering of this Mossack Fonseca information by the corporate media follows a direct western governmental agenda. There is no mention at all of use of Mossack Fonseca by massive western corporations or western billionaires – the main customers. And the Guardian is quick to reassure that “much of the leaked material will remain private.” What do you expect? The leak is being managed by the grandly but laughably named “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists”, which is funded and organised entirely by the USA’s Center for Public Integrity. Their funders include Ford Foundation Carnegie Endowment Rockefeller Family Fund W K Kellogg Foundation Open Society Foundation (Soros) among many others. Do not expect a genuine expose of western capitalism. The dirty secrets of western corporations will remain unpublished. Expect hits at Russia, Iran and Syria and some tiny “balancing” western country like Iceland. A superannuated UK peer or two will be sacrificed – someone already with dementia.  [Comment:  ... LOL] The corporate media – the Guardian and BBC in the UK – have exclusive access to the database which you and I cannot see. They are protecting themselves from even seeing western corporations’ sensitive information by only looking at those documents which are brought up by specific searches such as UN sanctions busters. Never forget the Guardian smashed its copies of the Snowden files on the instruction of MI6. What if they did Mossack Fonseca database searches on the owners of all the corporate media and their companies, and all the editors and senior corporate media journalists? What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on all the most senior people at the BBC? What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on every donor to the Center for Public Integrity and their companies? What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on every listed company in the western stock exchanges, and on every western millionaire they could trace? That would be much more interesting. I know Russia and China are corrupt, you don’t have to tell me that. What if you look at things that we might, here in the west, be able to rise up and do something about? And what if you corporate lapdogs let the people see the actual data? SOURCE https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/04/corporate-media-gatekeepers-protect-western-1-from-panama-leak/ ---------------------- ---------------------- COMMENT Wow, another leak ...  Only we don't get to see this one & the controlled media will cherry pick, just using the information to target the ruling Western oligarchy handmaiden-enforcer governments' official, designated enemies. Vlad can do no wrong in my eyes and neither can Russia. Look at what the Western crooks have been up to over the last 70 years:  exploitative capitalist agenda wars; illegal wars; invasions; murder of millions; enforcing crippling, murderous sanctions; dropping depleted uranium bombs; dropping atomic weapons; serial CIA coups;  serial regime change; serial destruction of entire countries; mass surveillance of entire countries, including their own; decades of CIA collusion with corporate media; CIA funding political parties in sovereign countries; non-stop corporate media & CIA propaganda; Western censorship & political policing violations (including rape of activist women by undercover police, Britain);  Western murder of political dissidents (USA); British government refusal  to execute arrest warrants for (alleged) war criminals allied to the West (Israelis), but politically persecuting Aussie journalist-publisher, Assange, held in arbitrary detention in violation of international laws, and held WITHOUT CHARGE for over five and a half years. I left out the Americans unsigning themselves from the Rome Statute, and therefore out of the reach  of the International Criminal Court, so that they cannot be held to account for the WAR CRIMES THEY AND THEIR ALLIES (YES, THEY'RE COVERED, TOO) HAVE COMMITTED & INTEND TO COMMIT IN FUTURE; the Americans blackmailing aid and trade dependent nations to grant Americans immunity from being held accountable for commission of war crimes; the Americans passing into law that they SHALL USE MILITARY FORCE against any nation that seeks to bring their citizens (or allies!  ... hello?) before international courts of law (meanwhile these same war criminal hypocrites and liars target Serbian politicians, in propaganda spectacles to distract from their own illegal bombings and war crimes -- the scum). The Guardian's pathetic, and so is that phony warmonger US oligarchy funded International Consortium of Whore Journalist. What kind of idiot leaks anything to the mainstream media or its representatives? Hello ... anyone remember what happened to Israeli nukes whistleblower:  Mordechai Vanunu? Bet this isn't even a real leak: it's probably a CIA offering to shape public opinion.

Craig Murray: The Guardian - Disgraceful Neocon Rag

Operation Flavius and the Killer Cameron Exactly twenty years ago the European Court of Human Rights found that the British Government had acted illegally in shooting dead three IRA members in Gibraltar, even though the court accepted that the government had a genuine belief that they were planning a bombing attack. Indeed the court accepted the victims were terrorists, and refused compensation to their families on those grounds. But the court refused to accept there was no possibility of foiling the plot through methods other than summary execution. In the light of the decision that Operation Flavius contravened Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, it is difficult to understand how the government can claim its killing of British men in Syria, with no trial, is anything other than murder. I personally find it difficult to imagine technically how men journeying in a car in Syria were imminently able to instantly wreak havoc in the UK so that it was impossible to prevent by any method other than their execution without trial. The level of certainty required for that decision would involve sufficient knowledge of what was to happen in the UK to stop it here. If there was vagueness about what was actually to happen in the UK, there cannot have been the certainty about the threat claimed. It is a logical impasse. Frankly in twenty years of experience working with British security services their level of accuracy (remember Iraqi WMD) was never that good. And everybody is fortunately now deeply sceptical about the continual claims by the security services that there are thousands of dedicated Islamic terrorists in the UK conducting hundreds of plots every year, and yet miraculously never actually managing to kill anybody. Just in case anybody had not worked out yet that the Guardian is a disgraceful neo-con rag, it has an article by its “legal correspondent” Joshua Rozenberg, married to the even more rabid Zionist militarist Melanie Phillips (who still believes the Iraqi WMD exist, hidden in the bed of the Euphrates). Rozenberg assures us it is absolutely legal for the British government to kill us without trial if it wants. He even suggests the murdered Mr Khan would not object: “If he was waging war on British troops and civilians, he can hardly complain the UK’s armed forces were one step ahead of him.” Astonishingly for a lawyer, the disgraceful Rozenberg does not seem to notice that the opening “if” is rather important. “If Mr Jones was engaged in insurance fraud, he can hardly complain at being banged up for twenty years”, so according to Mr Rozenberg we can dispense with all that nonsense about trials and evidence and just take the government’s word for it. Not to mention that the government has now instituted summary execution without trial in a country that does not even have the death penalty.  [ ... ] As I have argued, it is not unusual for British people to go to fight abroad. There were British citizens in the Israeli Defence Forces participating in the massacre of Palestinian civilians in Gaza last year. Our neo-con governments of both blue and red Tories have positively encouraged the mercenary companies Executive Outcomes/Sandline/Aegis of Tony Buckingham and Tim Spicer. There are Britons fighting now in the Ukraine. We started by positively encouraging factions in the Syrian civil war, with the Saudis and CIA arming and training them and some of those factions helped constitute ISIL. There is no evidence at all that Islamic State had any interest in attacks in the UK until we started to attack it. (That is not to say it is not a very bad organisation and did not commit actions against UK citizens in its “Caliphate area”. But it did not threaten the UK). For the government to claim the right to kill British people through sci-fi execution, based on highly unreliable secret intelligence and a secret declaration of legality, is so shocking I find it difficult to believe it is happening even as I type the words. Are we so cowed as to accept this? SOURCE https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2015/09/operation-flavius-and-the-killer-cameron/ ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT LOL ...

This extra-judicial killing of targets overseas sort of 'complements' the criminal law turned to 'global law' strategy used by the British, as an excuse for the secret drone attacks in Syria (that was mentioned elsewhere). Who is permitted to go overseas to kill depends on who is being killed, perhaps? LOL  ... Saudis and CIA arming al-Qaeda, who then joined ISIS.  Oh, wait a minute ... They're supposed to be funding ISIS, too.  Think they all might answer to CIA and friends. 'Authorities' that fund terrorists can hardly point the finger at other organisations, declaring them 'terrorists.'   I think it really is the law of jungle and it's only a matter of:  might is right and 'do whatever' ... as Mr Crowley, kind of said.
