Hillary Clinton's Business of Corporate Shilling and War-Making

COMMENT

Watching this right now.

Abby Martin needs to slow down her speech for lazy listeners like myself, who prefer not to have to give extra focus to absorb content.
The presentation is marred in places by interpretation from the liberal left ideology tainted perspective, that detracts from the overall message, when viewed from the perspective of those that do not buy into this ideology.
Might have to watch again when I'm not tired.  Need notes on some of the facts and figures that I can't remember.

'Jewish Controlled Opposition'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbx23Ygj3YM




COMMENT

I was interested in the 'controlled opposition' in terms of media, public discourse, intelligentsia talking heads etc. in general, before I stumbled on this video.

Not sure I've really understood what this is about. Perhaps there is a video that precedes this?  *Edit:  it looks like Gilad Atazmon wants people to have the courage to speak up regarding the Israel-Palestine issue?  It also looks like a prediction of dire consequences of some kind.  It sounds like he's predicting war.

Ian Dury's in here because Gilad Atazmon was/is in the group and I like 'Hit Me'. LOL

Now I'm distracted checking out oldies I like ...



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ4QoCskBN4

This is a bit earlier.  I love the SUDDEN STOP, pause ...
and the B I G  R U S H.
The climbing guitar thing is very nice, too.

What I got out of Gilad Atzmon is the following, if I've understood correctly.
History is the opposite of telling what has happened:  it is, according to Atzmon, an institutional attempt to conceal shame by building a zig-zag narrative around shame.

I'm not entire sure what he's referring to.

I see history and the official narrative as a matter of power and control, rather than shame.

I'm not sure if my perspective is skewed, because I tend to see power (or lack of power) in just about everything.

Atzmon says that there is a holocaust every 70 to 100 years.

Said it was important to look at historical events in perspective.  By that I think he means looking at a wide picture; like a panoramic view of history.  But I'm not entire sure, as he didn't elaborate in this clip.

Conveyed that there's not much difference between the left and the right, between the Cultural Marxists and the 'enlightened individualism' brigade.  Mentioned Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum (Ayn Rand) who was the icon of 'enlightened individualism'. 

Talked about a 'brotherhood' of the 'most horrible Zionists' and what sounded like the 'JDP'.  But I can't find 'JDP', so I'll have to listen again to see what he's talking about, if I can make it out.  *Edit:  I'm not certain what he is saying, but going by the Greta Berlin entry in Wikipedia, it could possibly be JDL that he is referring to - although it still sounds like he's saying 'JDP' or something.
Discusses the silencing of his voice, that of Greta Berlin, Ken O'Keefe (I think it was).
Refers to Greta Berlin, pro-Palestinian activist motivated by 1967 Six-Day War. Began non-profit charitable organisation to send medicine and aid to Palestinians.  Internal Revenue & FBI then began getting involved.  Jewish Defence League caller allegedly told her her children would be killed if any passengers were murdered in airline hijackings that were going on at the time.  Greta Berlin withdrew from activism for 15 years, for the sake of her children.

Asks: don't we believe in free discourse?

Refers to the neocons: refers to Jewish sounding names and says "It's a Zionist synagogue; it's not a secret."

Refers to a 'chain of disaster' and mentions factors in history, going from Cold War, Frankfurt School, bankers, capitalists, the 'Palestinian story', 2008 Crisis, Lehman Bros, Larry Summers, Deregulation, Alan Greenspan.

Then asks what they have in common.   Assume he's referring to the Jewish role in these various factors.

Says if we don't talk about it, there will be a disaster. Says when the chain is seen and understood as being "Jewish related", you become more clever than the system. This is when the real global disaster will happen.

Gilad Atzmon says that the 'cognitive elite' are very quick to escape and says that they get bailed out.

However, what he refers to as the 'cognitive elite' might, in fact, be the economic and political elite, to my way of thinking.

Predicated disaster, I think.  Friends in Turkey feel it is coming, says Atzmon.  Said that there will be a lot of innocent people dying - not only Jews.  So he is predicting a war?

Atzmon asked if Palestine is the problem, how is it possible that all the doctors are Jewish and will 'we' reveal the problem if 'we' are connected to the problem? Whether it is Finkelstein, Chomsky, Gidon Levy, Gilad Atzmon (himself) ... and others mentioned. Asks how it is possible that they are the prime doctors?

I'm not sure why he thinks Palestine is such a problem that it will lead to world disaster.  Or, perhaps, this is just one of the problems.  Not clear to me.

That lecture was in January of 2016, so it's current.

I think what he's trying to say is that public discourse on the subject (or subjects?) is dominated by Jewish representatives.

At some stage of the lecture, Atzmon referred to:

George Orwell - saw it coming (Spanish Revolution?)
Wrote '1984'
controlled opposition = Emmanuel Goldstein character
- Emmanuel  (Heb.  'god with us')
- righteousness - Atzmon says:  righteousness totally fictional
George Orwell understood there was something there; a controlled opposition.
Why did Orwell pick a Jewish name, Atzmon asks. 
Orwell fought in Spain.
referring to:  1936 Spanish Revolution (?)
(I think ... will have to double-check that)
Atzmon says:  25% of International Brigade were Jews
/  lingua franca was Yiddish
We are not allowed to talk about it.
His friend doesn't talk to him because he wants to talk about the Spanish war.
We are not allowed to talk about Emmanuel Goldstein being a Jew. And why?
Atzmon says:
the element that sustains this regime is called: post-political correctness
What is 'political correctness':
political correctness is politics that does not allow political opposition
Politics that does not allow political opposition is called: tyranny or dictatorship.
But in the case of political correctness, it is far worse - far more dangerous.
And why, he asks.
Because it is self-imposed.
Atzmon says: it is small evil planted in each of us that starts to censor us, as soon as we think freely.
First time, it hurts; second time, we just avoid thinking; and the third time, we just get used to the idea that we better not think.
AND THIS IS WHY in America you have 'activism'.
ACTIVISM IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THINKING
/ Thinking is being creative; thinking is understanding all of that on your own (ie points to board / material discussed)
/ INSTEAD we subscribe to cultural slogans - eg. BDS - are academics not free type point, I think it was.
/ to be a thinker is to lift every stone and to be courageous to look under
/ we owe it to ourselves and owe it to the Jews, because they don't do it for themselves
/ recommends speaking openly against all odds as remedy to doomed situation we have brought ourselves into.

End.

Aside from Orwell, Atzmon mentions 'mentors', as follows (look-ups from Wikipedia):

Martin Heidegger
  • German philosopher
  • a most original & important philosopher of 20th C.
  • Continental tradition
  • philosophical hermeneutics
  • hermeneutics (theory and methodology of interpretation - biblical, philosophical)

René Descartes: located essence of man thinking abilities
Martin Heidegger:  thinking is thinking *about* things
/ originally discovered in our everyday practical engagements

Heidegger, contends:
capacity to think cannot be most central quality of our being
b/c thinking is a reflection upon discovering the world
Heidegger argues human more fundamentally structured by Temporality
/ concern with & relationship to time
existing as structurally open 'possibility for being'
/ importance of authenticity in human existence
/ finitude of time / being towards death
argued truth: original meaning was UNCONCEALMENT
language = house of being
criticism of technology's instrumentalist understanding
in Western tradition as 'enframing'
/ treating all of nature as standing reserve on call for human purposes

Heidegger affiliation with German National Socialism
Rector University of Freiberg
/ did not publicly apologise nor express regret
/ Wikipedia states he privately regretted his decision

No time to look any more at this guy / interesting stuff ... like 'being' etc.

But not very practical.  To my way of thinking, this is interesting and all well and good as mental gymnastics.  But the rest of us don't want to live according to the conclusions of these thinkers and their theories and ideals, no matter how impressive their mental gymnastics may appear to academics and intelligentsia devotees.

I don't accept the universal and I think what's important must be defended, regardless of any appeals (be it emotional appeals or what presents as 'logical' argument).

So my guiding 'principle' (or whatever driver) would be instinct?  Not sure.  It could be:  lunacy?  LOL

Jean-François Lyotard
argues against the possibility of justifying the narratives
that bring together disciplines and social practices, such as science and culture

"the narratives we tell to justify a single set of laws and stakes are inherently unjust."

/ loss of faith in meta-narratives = effect on perception of science, art, and literature.

"Little narratives have now become the appropriate way for explaining social transformations and political problems." [wikipedia]

{ie. versus 'meta narratives' }

"As metanarratives fade, science suffers a loss of faith in its search for truth, and therefore must find other ways of legitimating its efforts"

/  +  world where technology has taken over

grand narratives
grand, large-scale theories and philosophies of the world, eg.
progress of history, knowability of everything by science, and possibility of absolute freedom

ceased to believe that narratives of this kind are adequate to represent and contain us all

points out:

no one seemed to agree:
-  on what was real
- + everyone had their own perspective and story

we:  alert to difference, diversity, the incompatibility of our aspirations, beliefs and desires

thus:  postmodernity
characterised by an abundance of micronarratives

{comment:  I disagree with relevance of these 'micronarratives'}

from concept of 'abundance of micronarratives':
Lyotard draws from the notion of 'language-games' found in the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein
/  is based on mapping of society according to the concept of the language games

Language-game (philosophy)
German:  Sprachspiel

philosophical concept
- Ludwig Wittgenstein
- Friedrich Waismann
=  examples of language use and the actions (into which the language is woven)

forms of language simpler than the entirety of a language itself (Wittgenstein)

rejected the idea that language is somehow separate and corresponding to reality

speaking of language is part of an activity / or a form of life
=  gives language its meaning

Lyotard's discussion re language-game
=  primarily applied re contexts of authority, power and legitimation
> concerned to mark distinctions between a wide range of activities in which language users engage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language-game_%28philosophy%29


Lyotard re language-games

"The development of history is seen as a steady progress towards civilization or moral well-being"
"...  thought that universality is a condition for something to be a properly ethical statement: 'thou shalt not steal' is an ethical statement in a way that 'thou shalt not steal from Margaret' is not. The latter is too particular to be an ethical statement (what's so special about Margaret?); it is only ethical if it rests on a universal statement ('thou shalt not steal from anyone'). But universals are impermissible in a world that has lost faith in metanarratives, and so it would seem that ethics is impossible. Justice and injustice can only be terms within language games, and the universality of ethics is out of the window. Lyotard argues that notions of justice and injustice do in fact remain in postmodernism. The new definition of injustice is indeed to use the language rules from one 'phrase regimen' and apply them to another. Ethical behaviour is about remaining alert precisely to the threat of this injustice, about paying attention to things in their particularity and not enclosing them within abstract conceptuality. One must bear witness to the 'differend.' In a differend, there is a conflict between two parties that cannot be solved in a just manner. However, the act of being able to bridge the two and understand the claims of both parties, is the first step towards finding a solution."  source

-------------------------------------------

What is the obsession with 'morality'?

I never give morality a thought.  Or very rarely.

The part about the development of history as steady progress towards 'moral well-being' sounds like crap to me.

'Civilisation' is not a universal benchmark, even from within 'civilised' societies ... let alone the not so civilised.

Man is uncivilised.

'Civilisation' is a veneer.

Even where civilisation exists to some level, civilisation is fragile.  Chaos is never far away.  And the fall of civilisation is maybe even inevitable.

Morality is what?  It is structured by man and it is PARTICULAR to the social order of particular people etc.

There can be no 'progress' or progression to what is a particular developmental and historic accident of a particular people, when this is not a universal path or truth. 

They're my initial thoughts.

So how can you have 'progress' to something that does not exist outside of Frame A Civilisation or Frame B Civilisation, which are not one and the same?

Screw 'morality':  I'm thinking it's really is over-rated.

What is the point of morality, if the world is full of sociopaths who will screw you at any opportunity, and if the system itself is sociopathic?  LOL

I'm starting to think what they call 'morality' is just a secular means of controlling the sheep.

It's a huge disadvantage being saddled with 'morality'.  But I think it might be very difficult to cast off whatever sense of 'right' or 'wrong' people are raised with.

As for these philosophers:  they lecture in French, American and Canadian universities of capitalists.  So how independent can they possibly be?  LOL

Getting back to the Gilad Atzmon video:  I was surprised there was criticism of Naom Chomsky.  I think he's wonderful. And he's sort of cute, like a puppet.

Got me wondering whether Gilad Atzmon is some form of 'controlled opposition'  ... LOL

Not sure what point he's making.

I would argue that non-Jews are not out of the 'debate' loop because they stand back from public debate they consider to be taken care of by the Jewish opposing sides of the debate: few are (a) game or (b) independent or (c) professionally immune from consequences of speaking out and (d) few would be afforded a platform to express contrary viewpoints.
If anyone of note is even mildly critical of, say, Israel or Zionism, there is strong opposition, condemnation and international media/public drama coming their way from pro Israel/Zionist organisations, Western media, Jewish journalists and talking heads (as well as the whole of mainstream media ... LOL), various 'progressive' keepers of Western morality etc, along with non-Jewish political allies (which would be probably be just about all the Western mainstream politicians and talking heads). 
For an example of the drama politicians can expect for, say, supporting the Palestinians:  look at the drama in the UK, where Jeremy Corbyn was targeted for a political take-down as Labour leader, while Ken Livingstone was crucified by all and sundry.  LOL

So (in my opinion) it's not exactly the way Atzmon depicts it, where there's two opposing Jewish sides to a debate, and because they're engaged in this debate, non-Jews willingly step back from a debate, on the basis that the Jewish opposing sides are 'taking care of it' or whatever.
There is nobody to engage in such a debate, because there's probably few non-Jewish talking heads that are independent in terms of politics, or 'professional immunity', or independent in terms of ideology, and there's maybe few that can afford the flack.

Also, there appears to be concentration of mainstream American media (and entertainment) that is under Jewish control.  Jewish journalists have (proudly) conceded the media and entertainment control in articles, for anyone that wants to look this up.   So that doesn't exactly support the likelihood of presentation of alternative viewpoints or opinions in mainstream media.
On top of this, Western journalists, politicians and officials from various countries make official visits to Israel, which is bound to lead to a projection of Israeli influence.

If any Western politician is considered to have spoken 'out of turn' (ie be critical in some way of Israel's actions or policies, however mildly), there's a guaranteed hue and cry in the media.

I don't think Noam Chomsky is deserving of the criticisms in this video.  Whatever he has said in the videos I've viewed has been sound.  And I don't see him as part of the 'controlled opposition'.  Nor do I see Chomsky as a 'Zionist' (unless Atzmon was kidding, or something?).  Chomsky sounds like a left-leaning academic to me.  But I'm not sure if he is; I've not really taken an interest in his political leanings.

As much as I admire Chomsky, Chomsky and I diverge sharply when we enter into refugee territory:  I see absolutely no responsibility on the part of Europeans for taking 'remedial' actions that (a) disadvantage Europeans or (b) divest Europeans or (c) destroy European nations, regardless of what European capitalists and their US-Anglo capitalist partners have done, and however 'responsible' these capitalists and their politicians are for any consequences of foreign policy or intervention abroad.

For me, that 'responsibility' does not translate to some follow-up action and the 'responsibility' does not transfer to the European people.  For me the 'responsibility' is simply theoretical:  it's not practical and is not an obligation.  It ends there.  It does not translate to destruction of European society to make 'amends'.

I don't know how much of this I'll remember.  Pathetic, considering this isn't even really scratching even the surface.  But I'm just an average person with limited intelligence.

Some of this might eventually sink in with repeat exposure on my travels.

I'm finishing up with Marc Bolan:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYUkAXrqWvY





P.S.  ...  I'm not really big on reading about the finitude of time.   It's so depressing being aware that your being - your very existence and your every action - is so pointless and that you are so close to being extinguished eternally.

I've added in a couple of key points I missed out on, while I got side-tracked with the philosopher look-ups.

“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”    ― Vladimir Ilyich Lenin / goodreads





COMMENT
Just watched this.
Got to wondering if this guy is part of the American capitalist controlled faux 'opposition', that is , in fact, acting to reinforce the 'legitimacy' of capitalist rule by playing the part of a 'dissenter' in relation to what is merely one aspect of the function of the capitalist-controlled, capitalist agent, totalitarian, criminal and corrupt US government, which is then publicly being seen to 'correct' itself with useless new legislation, pardons, declarations, awards etc. - thereby,  returning to the status quo that has always been in force, amid applause for pseudo 'democracy', applause for the CIA complaint 'Fourth Estate' American media (that is, in fact, a capitalist-controlled censorship, lies, propaganda and indoctrination organ), followed by awards all round and praise of its agents, upon return to the status quo ... dispensed by the sponsoring capitalist establishment and its applauding controlled 'opposition'?

Will think about that while I make another Chicken Terikayki with my wonderful DIY Teriyaki sauce + coleslaw and baked potato with garlic butter.  Potato is done in microwave (wrapped in paper towel, skin on, pricked (abt. 4 mins either side, depending on size).

Will fry up chicken fillets whole in cast iron pan, then I'll slice them thinly & throw them into Teriyaki sauce in same pan.  That's the plan.

Dessert will have to wait until tomorrow.
Craving red jelly, which I haven't had for years.  But that's an overnight job.




Wanted to know more about the 'controlled opposition'.

Was listening to Gilad Atzmon about the 'Jewish Controlled Opposition', while I was cooking.   But he's hard to understand.  I don't think I understood a thing I was listening to.  Might have to listen to him with headphones on.

The Teriyaki Chicken thingy doesn't really go with the European foods.  Not the potato & sour cream, at any rate.  But it's edible.  LOL

We're having a senseless argument because I got annoyed with being interrupted ... and because I then had another wobbly at being guilt-tripped for getting annoyed.  LOL
I can't take decent photos.  I can't keep still and something's wrong with the light.

EARLY MORNING WAKE-UP CALL


Listening To

EARLY MORNING WAKE-UP CALL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo9fzsbwTS8

Trying to find music I can get into.  

Vaguely like something about this.  I like the constant repetitive percussion bits.  I always do.   And the sort of growling, 'climbing' guitar's nice.  High pitched guitar pisses me off.  I'm more into percussion and bass.
Dorky sounding overall.  Too many different sounds.   Someone needs to rework this. I like the repetitive echo sort of thing.   But don't like what seems like the Japanese sound to it.  I think.  Sounds vaguely Japanese with some of the 'thin' music.  The Japanese sounding thing also reminds me of Billy Joel and I don't like Billy Joel.  Think there's only one song of his I like.
The value of this lies in the driving beat reverberating.  Does that sound like a Louisiana or Boer South African back-beat?  OMG.  It's the Boer beat.  I love the Boer beat.
Germans have done a version: here.
I can't decide which one I like better.   I like the deeper sound of #1, I think.  No.  I like both.  I think.

Prepared an impromptu Teriyaki Chicken & veg stir-fry with DIY Teriyaki sauce.

Used Sweet Sherry instead of Saki.  Varied recipe somewhat.

Teriyaki Sauce
    1 cup Mirin
    1/2 cup Sake

    1 cup Japanese shoyu (soy sauce)
    1/2 cup dark brown sugar


US-ANGLO CAPITALISM
RAPES EVERYTHING
"popularity of modern, synthetic mirin dates to the post World War II, when Japan’s tax on the authentic, boozy version of mirin rose to 230 percent"  [source]
mass reliance on:  "cheaper synthetic stuff"

Japanese were probably paying reparations to the US-Anglo capitalists that would have taken control of defeated Japan ... after nuking the Japanese.


Think I added more sugar in my version.  And a splash of water because it seemed very strong to me.  I can't remember ... I tasted as I went along and just did whatever.  Also added garlic & ginger paste in mine.

Like this recipe, too.  


That was so bad I almost threw up.  It was stir-fry with chicken thigh cutlets.  I don't like lumps in my food. It makes me feel like gagging.  Had to spit the chicken out.  

Thighs are OK in curry.  But I don't like them stir-fried.

That was bad.  Another bad meal.  But at least I didn't burn this one.


Side-tracked looking for traditional Boer music.  Found Celtic instead.

This is nice.  Very different to the Boer music. 
Mood totally clashes with what I was listening to.  This one's a downer.

Assange Medical and Psychological Records

14 September 2016

Today WikiLeaks releases confidential medical and psychological reports concerning our editor Julian Assange’s situation. This part one publication consists of three documents: a twenty-seven page psycho-social and medical assessment from 10 November 2015, a report from Mr. Assange’s physician from 8 December 2015 and a dentist’s report from 31 July 2015. The in-depth assessment of the psychological and physical effects that the severely restrictive conditions of confinement within the small premises of the Embassy have had on Mr. Assange is by far the most detailed insight into the circumstances of his life inside the Embassy —including the multi-million dollar covert operation the United Kingdom admits to subjecting him to. He has been deprived of his liberty since 7 December 2010. He has not been charged with an offence.

The deterioration of Mr. Assange’s physical health has arisen as a result of the extremely restrictive conditions of his confinement. The United Kingdom has formally refused safe access to even the most basic hospital diagnostics.

On February 5th this year the United Nations found that Mr. Assange’s effective detention in the Embassy of Ecuador by the United Kingdom and Sweden is arbitrary and unlawful and that he must be freed and compensated. One of the factual elements that informed the conclusions of its 16-month investigation was Mr. Assange’s deteriorating health and the inability to safely access basic healthcare.

Julian #Assange If Wars can be Started by Lies Peace can be started by Truth

Julian Assange speaking at Trafalgar Square 8th October 2011

". . . and that is something I want to talk about. What can we do with our values, what can we do at all in relation to this war? Because the reality is Margaret Thatcher had it right; there is no society any more. What there is is a transnational security elite that is busy carving up the world using your tax money.

To combat that elite we must not petition; we must take it over.

We must form our own networks of strength and mutual value which can challenge those strengths and self-interested values of the warmongers in this country and in others that have formed hand in hand an alliance to take money from the United States, from every NATO country, from Australia and launder it through Afghanistan, launder it through Iraq, lander it through Somalia, launder it through Yemen, launder it through Pakistan and wash that money in people's blood.

I don't need to tell you the depravity of war, you are all too familiar with its images, with the refugees of war, with information that we have revealed showing the everyday squalor and barbarity of war.

Information such as the individual deaths of over 130,000 people in Iraq. Individual deaths that were kept secret by the US military who denied that they ever counted the deaths of civilians.

Instead I want to tell you what I think is the way that wars come to be and that wars can be undone.

In democracies, or the pseudo-democracies that we are evolving into, wars are a result of lies. The Vietnam War and the push for US involvement was the result of the Gulf of Tonkin incident . . . a lie. The Iraq War famously is the result of lies. Wars in Somalia are a result of lies. The Second World War and the German invasion of Poland was the result of carefully constructed lies.

That is war by media. Let us ask ourselves of the complicit media, which is the majority of the mainstream press, what is the average death count attributed to each journalist?

When we understand that wars come about as a result of lies peddled to the British public and the American public and the publics all over Europe and other countries, then who are the war criminals? 

It is not just leaders, it is not just soldiers, it is journalists; journalists are war criminals.

And while one might think that that should lead us to a state of despair, that the reality that is constructed around us is constructed by liars, is constructed by people who are close to those that they are meant to be policing, it should lead us also to an optimistic understanding because if wars can be started by lies, truth can be started, peace can be started by truth.

So that is our task and it is your task, go and get the truth, get into the ballpark and get the ball and give it to us and we'll spread it all over the world."

COMMENT

Today's image play, plus additional things I found interesting.

Powerful speech. And even moreso when you can see the lies told in the capitalist-controlled media about all sorts of things.

I've not yet seen the medical stuff. Thought I'd link to it here.

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




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

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!

Why Did US Just Bar Former British Diplomat

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.

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.
