U.S. RULING OLIGARCHY WAGES HYBRID WAR TO SALVAGE HEGEMONY [LINK | Article]
Who's preaching world democracy, democracy, democracy? —Who wants to make free people free?
"that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and long range missiles, and its continuing non-compliance with Security Council Resolutions, pose a threat to international peace and security"
... ummmmm, only there wasn't any
AGREED that Britain:
"should use all means necessary to ensure the disarmament of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction"
BRITISH POLITICIANS VOTE THAT:
British forces to invade Iraq in an ILLEGAL WAR the 'case' for which was manufactured by the US-Anglo Capitalist Empire
When this was happening I wasn't paying attention.
I can vaguely remember 2003. Think I was really, really depressed back then, thinking how sh*t my life was. LOL.
It actually wasn't as crap as I thought it was. It just seemed that way. Wish I could go back in time. Time's going way too fast for me.
Anyway, I don't think I turned on the TV that year, so I missed out on the war news. Not that I would have cared back then. It was so remote it may as well have been war on Mars.
I'm probably a bit more aware these days, but I'm probably as self involved as ever.
I'm shocked looking at this list of British MPs who voted for invasion of Iraq.
Look at how much power very, very ordinary and fallible everyday local politicians are granted, simply by being elected into positions of power by the electorate.
And just think about the potential for abuse that power and the importance, in that case, of accountability and transparency in government ... which is where WikiLeaks comes in.

The latest drama involving Our Noisiest, Most Protected, Most Funded, and 'secretly' Nuclear Armed Ally, and its supporters:
"Jeremy Corbyn was engulfed in a fresh row over Israel when he appeared to compare the government of Binyamin Netanyahu to Islamic extremists at the launch of an independent review into antisemitism in the Labour party."
... ONLY HE DIDN'T and The Guardian published the following:
This story was amended on 30 June 2016 to correct the quotation in the second paragraph. An earlier version quoted Corbyn as saying ...
and paragraph 2 has been amended to read:
In prepared remarks, Corbyn said: “Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions of Israel or the Netanyahu government than our Muslim friends are for those of various self-styled Islamic states or organisations.”
Corbyn has no balls and his words mean nothing.
It's whitewash ... unless all his 'friends' are non-supporters of foreign states and organisations.
Those that support Israel and those that support Islamic organisations, are also responsible for supporting any unacceptable activity committed by those states and organisations, when that activity conforms to a clear pattern of behaviour.
The beleaguered, cowering, and craven Labour Party suspended Livingstone for mentioning historic fact:
"Corbyn and Shami Chakrabarti, the author of the report into antisemitism, declined to comment on remarks made by the former London mayor Ken Livingstone, who was suspended by the party after saying Adolf Hitler had supported Zionism. Livingstone was still under investigation, said Chakrabarti, so “it would be completely wrong to comment”."
and the standard pattern of histrionics, media smear, politician public grovelling display and politician/public figure 'amends' display ensued.
Ruth Smeeth, (culturally Jewish, former director of public affairs & campaigns at: Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre)British Labour politician and US Embassy collaborator, according to WikiLeaks Cables, is accused by a heckler of collaborating with the British press that's hounding the British Labour Party and, more particularly, its leader on the left, Jeremy Corbyn, who has EXPRESSED STRONG SUPPORT FOR the dispossessed, bombed, and 9-years-blockaded PALESTINIANS.

Posted On: 1st July 2016
The activist who accused a Jewish MPof “working hand in hand" with the Daily Telegraph at Labour’s anti-Semitism report launch has been expelled from the party.
Marc Wadsworth, who claims to be a member of the pro-Corbyn campaign group Momentum, accused Ruth Smeeth of conspiring in a "witch hunt" with the paper.
Ms Smeeth later called on Mr Corbyn to quit because he "stood by and did absolutely nothing" while the incident was taking place.
Jeremy Corbyn accused of anti-Semitism by Jewish Human Rights Watch
WATCH: Jeremy Corbyn chats happily to Ruth Smeeth heckler
Labour coup on hold as 'defiant' Jeremy Corbyn refuses to quit
Labour MP says party is not a 'safe place for British Jews' under Jeremy Corbyn [comment: lol ... they're just using the 'anti-Semitism' card to get rid of a left that will challenge Israel's abuse of Palestinians. ]
Mr Wadsworth today expressed regret for any offence caused to Ms Smeeth and revealed to LBC radio that he had been expelled from the party due to “media reports”. [comment: what a pussy. if you're going to heckle, do so unapologetically ... especially if your sh*tty political party expels you for doing so. ]
“I’ve now been expelled from the Labour party. I've received a letter from this very shadowy unit called the constitutional unit," he said. [comment: all these pseudo left parties are cucked and f*cked: vote nationalist. ]
"And they have summarily expelled me without any opportunity to give my side, just based on media reports.”
He added: “They told me that my membership has not been accepted as a full member of the party...
“I’ve been a member for several months, so its not a matter of my membership being pending.
"This is something I'm going to challenge and I'm getting a lot of Jewish support."
Ms Smeeth said in a statement after the event that Mr Wadsworth had "used traditional anti-Semitic slurs to attack me for being part of a media conspiracy”. [comment: So simply being Jewish is some kind of an immunity from criticism and challenge magic shield? ]
“It is beyond belief that someone could come to the launch of a report on anti-Semitism in the Labour party and espouse such vile conspiracy theories about Jewish people.” [comment: if you just look at the BBC pro-Israel bias and Jewish top-down corporate cultural influence cited in the article below, and BBC's pro-Israel stance, Jewish influence of media is not some 'conspiracy theory'. And that's just the BBC: never mind the rest of it. ]
Human rights campaigner Shami Chakrabarti, who wrote the anti-Semitism report and was at yesterday's event, said Mr Corbyn shared her anger at what had happened.
She told Radio 4's Today programme: "I have been to see Ruth Smeeth and I've apologised to her because it was my press conference and I was chairing it and I'm really sorry she was treated in that way. [comment: WTF for? Politicians mustn't get heckled? So, being Jewish lends special protective cover to politicians? Why should Ruth Smeeth receive any special protections from being challenged? ]
"I was chairing the press conference and I probably didn't give [Jeremy] a chance to jump in because I was so quick to jump in.
"He concurred with me when I admonished the gentleman in question for heckling not just Ruth Smeeth but me and for abusing the privilege of asking a question at a national press conference and the leader concurred with me."
However Mr Corbyn was today reported to the Labour party by Jewish Human Rights Watch over his "conduct" at the launch. [comment: this is bullsh*t. I hate the Labour party, but this is a Jeremy Corbyn witch-hunt, probably led by the local Jews/Zionists and their allied non-Jew politician supporters of Israel, who probably want someone more favourably disposed to Israel heading up the British Labour Party (in the case of the former) and power (in the case of the latter, I guess)]
Jeremy Corbyn: Jews Must Not Be Blamed “for the Actions of Israel or the Netanyahu Government”
Guardian Sinks into Gutter on Corbyn – Again
By Jonathan Cook
Global Research, July 04, 2016
Jonathan Cook Blog 30 June 2016 This is way beyond a face-palm moment.
Jeremy Corbyn today launched a review into the Labour party’s supposed “anti-semitism crisis” – in fact, a crisis entirely confected by a toxic mix of the right, Israel supporters and the media. I have repeatedly pointed out that misleading claims of anti-semitism (along with much else) are being thrown at Corbyn to discredit him. You can read my criticisms of this campaign and Labour’s reponse here, here and here.
In his speech, Corbyn made an entirely fair point that Jews should not be blamed for the behaviour of Israel any more than Muslims should be for the behaviour of states that are Islamic. He said:
Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions of Israel or the Netanyahu government than our Muslim friends are for those of various self-styled Islamic states or organisations.
But no matter what he said, the usual suspects are now accusing him of comparing Israel with Islamic State, even though that is clearly not what he said – not even close.
First, even if he had said “Islamic State”, which he didn’t, that would not have meant he made a comparison with Israel. He was comparing the assumptions some people make that Jews and Muslims have tribal allegiances based on their religious or ethnic background. He was saying it was unfair to make such assumptions of either Jews or Muslims.[comment: of course he was; he's a Labour cuck, but those that want to oust him, won't let that stand in their way ... LOL.]
In fact, such an assumption (which Corbyn does not share) would be more unfair to Muslims than to Jews. It would suggest that some Muslims easily feel an affinity with a terror organisation, while some Jews feel an affinity with a recognised state (which may or may not include their support for the occupation). That assumption is far uglier towards Muslims than it is towards Jews. [comment: LOL ... it would depend on which side of the fence you stand on. I'm guessing that Arabs and cultural Arabs would see things otherwise. ]
But, of course, all of this is irrelevant because Corbyn did not make any such comparison. He clearly referred to “various self-styled Islamic states or organisations”. A spokesman later clarified that he meant “Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran or Hamas in Gaza”. In other words, “various self-styled Islamic states and organisations” – just as he said in the speech.
Surprise, surprise, the supposedly liberal Guardian’s coverage of this incident is as appalling as that found in the rightwing Telegraph. The Guardian has an article, quoting rabbis and others, pointing out the irony that Corbyn made an anti-semitic comment at the launch of an anti-semitism review – except, of course, that he didn’t.
In fact, contrary to all normal journalism, you have to read the Guardian story from bottom-up. The last paragraph states:
This story was amended on 30 June to correct the quotation in the second paragraph. An earlier version quoted Corbyn as saying: “Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions for the actions of Israel or the Netanyahu government than our Islamic friends are responsible for Islamic State.”
Or in other words, the Guardian reporterdid not even bother to listen to the video of the speech posted alongside her report on the Guardian’s own website. Instead she and her editors jumped on the same bandwagon as everyone else, spreading the same malicious rumours and misinformation. [COMMENT: That would be Harriet Sherwood 'religion correspondent' - here. Coincidentally, this same reporter was accused of being pro-Palestinian a few years ago, so there's no pleasing everybody as a reporter. But, yeah, fabrication is a bit much to swallow ... ]
When it later emerged that the story was a complete fabrication – one they could have proved for themselves had they listened to what Corbyn really said – they simply appended at the bottom a one-par mea culpa that almost no one will read. The Guardian has continued to publish the same defamatory article, one based on a deception from start to finish.
This is the very definition of gutter journalism. And it comes as the Guardian editor, Kath Viner, asks (begs?) readers to dig deep in their pockets to support the Guardian. She writes:
The Guardian’s role in producing fast, well-sourced, calm, accessible and intelligent journalism is more important than ever.
UK Labour head Jeremy Corbyn slams Israel in newly released letters June 1, 2016 5:03pm

(JTA) — In letters sent to the foreign minister, the head of Britain’s Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, called for sanctions against Israel and described some of the Jewish state’s politicians as “criminals” who should be banned from Britain.
Corbyn’s anti-Israel letters, written while he was a Parliament member but before he was elected party chief, were obtained by the UK’s Jewish News through a Freedom of Information request. In an article published Wednesday, the Jewish News reported that Corbyn also saidIsrael treats Palestinians “with disdain” and that its “victimization of the people of East Jerusalem is an abomination.”
Corbyn already is under fire from British Jewish leaders who have voiced concerns that he is not doing enough to address anti-Semitism among party members.
News of the letters came on the same day a documentary on Corbyn aired showing him criticizing a Jewish journalist who wrote that the Labour Party has an anti-Semitism problem.
In one segment of “Jeremy Corbyn: The Outsider,” which was produced by Vice News, Corbyn describes a Guardian Op-Ed by Jonathan Freedland about Labour’s “anti-Semitism problem” as “Utterly disgusting, subliminal nastiness, the whole lot of it.” He adds that Freedland, who is also a columnist for London’s Jewish Chronicle, is “not a good guy at all. He seems kind of obsessed with me.”
According to the Jewish News, Corbyn in 2013called on then-Foreign Secretary William Haig to “stop allowing Israel’s criminal politicians to come to our country freely,” “end the siege of Gaza” and to “ensure the BBC portray Palestine fairly,” complaining that the national broadcaster “barely” mentioned “the Palestinian hunger strike!”
Many Jews and Israelis have accused the BBC of having a pro-Palestinian bias.
On the subject of banning Israeli politicians, Corbyn wrote: “I cannot help wondering how long successive governments are going to stand by pretending that an occupying power of so many years should be treated in the same way as the people whose land is not only occupied, but routinely confiscated.”
United Nations' rights envoy for Palestine resigns, accuses Israel of denying access to West Bank, Gaza
Posted 5Jan 2016, 6:28am
...
Makarim Wibisono, United Nations special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, said his repeated oral and written requests for access had gone unanswered for over 18 months.
In a statement announcing his resignation, Mr Wibisono, who reports to the UN Human Rights Council, voiced "deep concern at the lack of effective protection of Palestinian victims of continuing human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian law".
Israel has long rejected the post of the independent investigator for the territories, accusing the 47-member state forum of bias against the Jewish state, a position backed by its main ally the United States.
...
Mr Wibisono, a former Indonesian diplomat who took up the UN post in June 2014, said in his first report to the council in March 2015 that Israel should investigate the killing of more than 1,500 Palestinian civilians, one third of them children, during the 2014 Gaza war, and make the findings public.
...
His predecessor Richard Falk, an American law professor who is Jewish, long drew controversy in Israel.
In 2008 Mr Falk compared Israeli military strikes against Hamas in Gaza — during which 1,400 Palestinians were killed and there was widespread destruction in densely populated areas — to those of the Nazis.
Director of BBC television signs The Guardian’s pro-Israel letter
Amena Saleem Media Watch 29 October 2015
Director of BBC television Danny Cohen. (BBC Media Centre)
The BBC’s outgoing director of television has signed a letter published in The Guardian last week, pleading for Israel not to be singled out as a target for cultural boycotts.
Danny Cohen, a member of the BBC’s executive board and one of the most senior figures in the organization, joins top Israel apologists — including the chair of Conservative Friends of Israel and the vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel — in putting his name to the letter.
(The BBC recently announced that Cohen was to move on from his position at the BBC after eight years, but will retain his post through the end of November.)
The letter published in The Guardian states that “Cultural boycotts singling out Israel are divisive and discriminatory, and will not further peace,” and calls for “cultural engagement” in place of boycotts.
As Omar Robert Hamilton writes in Counterpunch: “When you’re dealing with the mechanized destruction of an entire people by one of the most technologically advanced and diplomatically shielded militaries in the history of mankind then talk, in 2015, of ‘cultural engagement’ is nothing more than further cover for Israel’s continuing colonization of what remains of Palestine.”
It is to this letter, and the highly politicized opinions within it, that the BBC’s director of television, whose salary is funded by license fee payers, has put his name.
In response to a query I sent, asking if Cohen is in breach of any BBC guidelines requiring employees to show impartiality regarding the situation in Palestine and Israel, the BBC Press Office sent this inconsequential reply: “Danny Cohen was expressing his view about his belief in the importance of creative freedom of expression.”
This is ridiculous.
The views expressed in the letter do not constitute a request for unfettered “creative freedom of expression” but are a plea for Israel to be protected from the consequences of its illegal occupation of Palestinian land and its siege on Gaza.
“Coexistence”
The letter also declares support for a new organization called Culture for Coexistence, whose committee includes at least one Israeli, but no Palestinians, and board members of Conservative Friends of Israel, but no one from a pro-Palestinian organization. The website itself is sparse, containing only the text of the letter to The Guardian and a list of committee members.
It looks suspiciously like a front for a bigger hasbara (or propaganda) organization.
Cohen’s fellow signatories to The Guardian letter include Eric Pickles MP, chair of Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI), a pro-Israel lobby group which, according to its website, “works to ensure that Israel’s case is fairly represented in Parliament.”
Another 13 members of parliament, apart from Pickles, have signed the letter. Seven of them are CFI’s parliamentary officers, five others are either members of CFI or have recently been on one of its delegations to Israel, and the 13th, Michael Dugher, is vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel — the Labour Party’s equivalent group.
There are no pro-Palestinian MPs among the signatories.
Openly pro-Israel
There are former BBC employees on the signature list as well, including George Weidenfeld, who worked for the BBC Overseas Service, and is now vice-chair of the EU-Israel Forum. Weidenfeld also founded the eponymous Weidenfeld Safe Havens Fund, whose stated aim is to “rescue” Christians from Syria. The fund has received financial support from the Jewish National Fund, an organization essential to the continued ethnic cleansing of historical Palestine.
These signatories are openly pro-Israel. Cohen’s position at the BBC, however, requires neutrality. If he supports Israel in its suppression of the Palestinian people, those views should not be allowed to affect his work at the BBC. And yet, here he is, with others, very publicly arguing for a continuation of the status quo which favors the Israeli state against the occupied Palestinian people, employing vacuous terms such as “building bridges” to hide the fact that Israel is a serial violator of international law and Palestinian human rights, whose senior politicians openly declare that there will never be a Palestinian state.
It is a stupefying display of favoritism towards Israel from the BBC’s director of television, a man whose job supposedly demands impartiality.
Cohen’s influence within the BBC is huge.He oversees the BBC’s four main TV channels, BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four, in addition to BBC iPlayer, and online content for BBC Television. He also oversees the drama, entertainment, knowledge and comedy genres and BBC Films. Further responsibilities include the BBC Television archive and BBC Productions, Europe’s largest television production group.
And his views on Israel and the occupation are now out in the open.
Shockingly, he is not the only senior figure at the BBC known for pro-Israel sympathies.
Endemic bias
The BBC’s director of news and current affairs, James Harding, once told a conference organized by the pro-Zionist Jewish Chronicle newspaper: “I am pro-Israel. I believe in the State of Israel.”
Speaking in 2011, when he was still editor of Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper The Times, Harding added, “I would have had a real problem if I had been coming to a paper with a history of being anti-Israel. And, of course, Rupert Murdoch is pro-Israel.”
Harding is responsible for the entirety of the BBC’s news and current affairs output across BBC radio, TV and online, including its current coverage of October’s violence in Palestine and Israel. The position he holds at the BBC is described by The Guardian as “arguably the most important editorial job in Britain.”
He came to the BBC in April 2013. There he joined James Purnell, who had been appointed two weeks earlier as the BBC’s director of strategy and digital. Purnell is a former Labour MP and minister who, for two years, served as chair of Labour Friends of Israel.
But the pro-Israel bias is not present only in the BBC’s current appointments. Another signatory of the letter in last week’s Guardian is Michael Grade, who served as chair of the BBC between 2004 and 2006.
Deep support for Israel
As well as calling for Israel to be protected from boycotts, Grade last week publicly complained that the BBC was too pro-Palestinian in its coverage of events in October which have seen at least 61 Palestinians killed in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, as well as 10 Israelis.
The Jewish Chronicle reported that Grade had written to the BBC’s director general, Tony Hall, accusing the BBC of failing to show stone-throwing Palestinians in its reports and creating an “equivalence between Israeli victims of terrorism and Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli security forces in the act of carrying out terror attacks.”
Ironically, as close monitoring by Palestine Solidarity Campaign has demonstrated, the BBC’s coverage in October has focused almost exclusively on Israeli stabbing victims, and its flagship radio news program Today has even attempted to fool its audiences into thinking that all those killed during October have been Israeli.
But it would seem that, whatever lengths the BBC goes to in order to present the occupying Israeli state as a victim, it can never go far enough for some who have worked at the organization.
It cannot be denied then that support for Israel runs deep through the top layers of BBC management, both past and present, and that support probably trickles down through the rest of the BBC as a matter of corporate culture.
This could explain why BBC editors failed to see the pro-Israel bias of commissioning historian Simon Schama to make a five part series for BBC Two in 2013, during which he made what he called “the moral case for Israel” and announced, in one episode, “I am a Zionist and quite unapologetic about it.”
Schama, unsurprisingly, joined Cohen in adding his name toThe Guardian letter on cultural boycotts.
Corporate culture
The same corporate culture could also explain why BBC Online’s Middle East editor, Raffi Berg, felt comfortable enough to send his colleagues an email during Israel’s November 2012 assault on Gazaasking them not to “put undue emphasis” on Israel for starting the prolonged attacks.
And it may explain why Cohen feels he cansign a letter in support of Israel without fear of reprisal from his bosses for breaching impartiality requirements.
Consumers of BBC news and current affairs may often wonder why the number of Israeli spokespersons appearing across the BBC’s output far outnumber Palestinian spokespersons, why Palestinians, when they do make a rare appearance, are constantly interrupted by BBC presenters, while Israelis such as diplomat Mark Regev are given free rein to speak almost without challenge.
They may wonder why the killing of Palestinian children by Israeli soldiers goes unreported by the BBC, while rockets fired from Gaza which cause damage to roads make headlines.
But, if the pro-Israeli views of those at the top of the BBC have created a corporate culture of pro-Israeli biasthroughout its editorial ranks, then such one-sided reporting, while disgraceful, should no longer come as a surprise to anyone.
Now I'm sorry I had a look at this dreary material. It's not at all straightforward, and I don't want to devote the next week or two unravelling the tangled web of finger-pointing, press and political 'outrage' & smear.
It's a huge time-waster, in politics, in media and in terms of public attention. This is ridiculous: it's just politics being hijacked and manufactured drama leveraging an attempt to get rid of British Labour's Jeremy Corbyn. Even though I hate the left, I'm opposed to this hijacking and power-grab in British politics, and am disgusted by the capitalist press that abets this circus.
Plus, pluralism isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Israel's right.

Catching up on a fortnight’s news, I have spent five hours searching in vain for criticism ofSimon Danczukfrom prominent or even just declared feminists. The Guardian was the obvious place to start, but while they had two articles by feminist writers condemning Chris Gayle’s clumsy attempt to chat up a presenter, their legion of feminist columnists were entirely silent on Danczuk. The only opinion piece was strongly defending him.
This is very peculiar. The allegation against Danczuk which is under police investigation – of initiating sex with a sleeping woman – is identical to the worst interpretation of the worst accusation against Julian Assange. The Assange allegation brought literally hundreds, probably thousands of condemnatory articles from feminist writers across the entire range of the mainstream media.I have dug up 57 in the Guardian alonewith a simple and far from exhaustive search. In the case of Danczuk I can find nothing, zilch, nada. Not a single feminist peep.
The Assange case is not isolated. Tommy Sheridan has been pursuing a lone legal battle against the Murdoch empirefor a decade, some of it in prison when the judicial system decided his “perjury” was imprisonablebut Andy Coulson’s admitted perjury on the Murdoch side in the same case was not. I personally witnessed in court in Edinburgh last month Tommy Sheridan, with no lawyer (he has no money) arguing against a seven man Murdoch legal team including three QCs, that a letter from the husband of Jackie Bird of BBC Scotland should be admitted in evidence.Bird was working for Murdoch and suggested in his letter that a witness should be “got out of the country” to avoid giving evidence. The bias exhibited by the leading judge I found astonishing beyond belief. I was the only media in the court.
Yet even though the Murdoch allegations against Sheridan were of consensual sexual conduct, Sheridan’s fight against Murdoch has been undermined from the start by the massive and concerted attack he has faced from the forces of feminism.Just as the vital messages WikiLeaks and Assange have put out about war crimes, corruption and the relentless state attack on civil liberties have been undermined by the concerted feminist campaign promoting the self-evidently ludicrous claims of sexual offence against Assange.
As soon as the radical left pose the slightest threat to the neo-con establishment, an army of feminists can be relied upon to run a concerted campaign to undermine any progress the left wing might make. The attack on Jeremy Corbyn over the makeup of his shadow cabinet was a classic example. It is the first ever gender equal shadow cabinet, but the entire media for a 96 hour period last September ran headline news that the lack of women in the “top” posts was anti-feminist. Every feminist commentator in the UK piled in.
Among the obvious dishonesties of this campaign was the fact that Defence, Chancellor, Foreign Affairs and Home Secretary have always been considered the “great offices of State” and the argument only could be made by simply ignoring Defence. The other great irony was the “feminist” attack was led by Blairites like Harman and Cooper, and failed to address the fact that Blair had NO women in any of these posts for a full ten years as Prime Minister.
But facts did not matter in deploying the organised feminist lobby againstCorbyn.
Which is why it is an important test to see what the feminists, both inside and outside the Labour Party, would do when the leading anti-Corbyn rent-a-gob, Simon Danczuk, was alleged to have some attitudes to women that seem very dubious indeed, including forcing an ex-wife into non-consensual s&m and that rape allegation.
And the answer is …nothing. Feminists who criticised Assange, Sheridan and Corbyn in droves were utterly silent on the subject of Danczuk. Because the purpose of established and paid feminism is to undermine the left in the service of the neo-cons, not to attack neo-cons like Danczuk.
Identity politics has been used to shatter any attempt to campaign for broader social justice for everybody. Instead it becomes about the rights of particular groups, and that is soon morphed into the neo-con language of opportunity. What is needed, modern feminism argues, is not a reduction of the vast gap between rich and poor, but a chance for some women to become Michelle Mone or Ann Gloag. It is not about good conditions for all, but the removal of glass ceilings for high paid feminist journalists or political hacks.
Feminism has become the main attack tool in the neo-con ideological arsenal. I am sceptical the concept can be redeemed from this.
Professional / paid and associated, middle-class intelligentsia feminism isn't feminism at all, by the look of things.
It's about privilege for the few, hypocrisy, & hoodwinking of the many, to the advantage of corrupt and criminal state powers that are publicly and politically aided in wielding the force of undemocratic (and thus illegitimate) state power against targets of political persecution -- such as WikiLeaks journalist-publisher, Julian Asssange -- that have had the courage and determined will (in the face of danger) tochallenge the corrupt state, that is inflicting injustice and destruction on a global scale.

Britain's Corbyn's off to a predictable start.
Corbyn's attended a 'refugees welcome' rally, immediately following his election as Labour leader in Britain, working the media momentum to make the most of the opportunity to extend his party's feel-good profile (and, presumably, to also fan the continued goodwill of what I guess is Labour's Marxist liberal supporter base).
So, why are lefties evangelising the disastrous consequences of the foreign policies of imperialist interventions abroad, to the immediate and long-term disadvantage of their vulnerable and their working class -- as well as the inevitable social consequences to those at home?
More government? I don't know. Yes, I guess so ... if he means more services will be required, and maybe more protections and special considerations that may be sought to accommodate those from different cultures, leading to more nanny state encroachment and suppression to keep order, or something like that?
Bet there's no mention at Corbyn's rally that there will be less resources for state services that are already stretched, as funding the welfare state is less of a priority for Britain than funding the warfare state: spending on NATO armaments, on behalf of private interests that are creating mayhem abroad and creating this problem in the first place.
Merkel's Germany is unbelievable. No wonder there's a history of massive anti-immigration demonstrations in Germany.
As for the in-vogue welcome demonstrations, they're not for the new arrivals, who wouldn't a clue what's going on in host countries.
So, this would be a show performance ... but I've no idea who the target audience may be.
EDIT:
this must surely (to some extent) be part of a 'manufacture of consent' campaign, designed to appear a grass roots level support factor (propping up consequences of neoliberal aggression), and is probably indicative of (a) a co-opted left and (b)astroturfing organisations at work on behalf of imperialist interests.
Astroturfing:
"Astroturfing is the attempt to create an impression of widespread grassroots support for a policy, individual, or product, where little such support exists. [here]"
Really liked that Lenin rising GIF. Find it amusing. Always liked the idea of socialism, but my idea of socialism and what I see of socialism doesn't a match. The final video demonstrates just how deceitful and misleading the corporate neoliberal serving media is, in respect to both domestic and foreign policy reporting.
JUST WATCHED that last video properly.
It makes me feel sick in the stomach.
Watching what is going on in Europe makes me physically ill.
Not only is it frightening watching this; it's frightening knowing that European governments and various political (and other organisations) are actively promoting this nightmare instead of declaring a militarily backed state of emergency lock-down in Europe.
