THE
RAW EXERCISE OF POWER
Mr.
Blair is fond of power, and contemptuous of opposition. The use
of FBI files and the Waco massacre would find approval with Mr.
Blair. He has his own pending Watergate in his treatment of Michael
Ashcroft, the man keeping the dissident Conservatives afloat,
now that Mr. Blair has been successful in scaring off many of
its other backers. It is now becoming clear that the Government
has selectively leaked a mass of documents to the friendly Murdoch-owned
press to smear this man. If they have not hacked the opposition
party’s bank accounts, they definitely provided the bank transactions
through the Times (which they got through money laundering
regulations). The Government has made sustained attempts to deny
this man his vote and his right to donate money. It is also clear
that the Labour
Party had offered him the opportunity to switch sides, in
return for which he would be ennobled. To Michael Ashcroft’s credit,
he stuck with his convictions.
SNOUTS
AT THE TROUGH
Other
rich men are more easily bought than Mr. Ashcroft is. Take David
Sainsbury, the former patron of the small centre-right Social
Democratic Party. In return for a ministerial post (minister for
science), an about turn on Genetically Modified Foods (in which
he is the largest single investor) and a Peerage, he gave two
million pounds ($3 million) a year to Labour Party funds. Surely,
the media will protest? Well no, because the state owned broadcaster,
the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC – Broadcasting By Coercion),
has just appointed Greg
Dyke. Mr. Dyke is not only Mr. Blair’s former next door neighbour,
but has also admitted to giving Mr. Blair personally $8,000 just
before he became leader of the Labour Party, and giving the Labour
Party ten times as much. It seems that Slobodan Milosovic has
a lot to learn.
ANOTHER
PLANET
What
about Mr. Blair’s pathological propensity to lie? Well this is
also true to form. I can not do any better than the leader of
the dissident Conservative Party, William Hague in Parliament:
"The
Prime Minister finds it difficult to tell the truth about many
matters, however trivial. Three years ago, he confided to Des
O'Connor that when he was 14, he stowed away on a plane from Newcastle
to the Bahamas. In Newcastle airport's 61-year history, there
has never been a flight to the Bahamas. In 1969, the only exotic
destinations served by Newcastle were Jersey and the Isle of Man.
"In
an interview with a local radio station in 1997, the Prime Minister
spoke of his passion for football and reminisced about watching
his favourite Newcastle player, centre forward Jackie Milburn,
from a seat behind one of the goals at St. James' Park. There
are two problems with that statement: seats were not installed
behind the goals until the 1990s and Jackie Milburn left the club
when the Prime Minister was four years old. [There’s a third problem
Mr. Blair was in Australia between the ages of 18 months
to six years.]
"The
Prime Minister was at it again last week when he told listeners
of the rock station Heart FM that his favourite tune was "Where
the Streets Have No Name" by U2; when he appeared on [the high-brow
radio programme] "Desert Island Discs", it was Samuel Barber's
'Adagio for Strings' and Francisco Tarrega's 'Recuerdos de la
Alhambra.'
"When
the Prime Minister stands at the Dispatch Box and says that pensioners
will not be hit by a new tax, or that waiting listsare coming
down, or that there will be 5,000 extra police, we have to bear
in mind that nothing that he says about anything can be relied
on. That might be funny when he is talking about tunes, food and
childhood memories, but when he is talking about taxes,waiting
lists, class sizes and police numbers he is seeking to debase
and destroy the currency of political discourse in this country.
Given the Prime Minister's example, it is no wonder that the Government's
whole existence is based on selective leaks, twisted statistics,
distorted facts, half truths and a total determination to prevent
people from finding out what is really going on."
One
thing that even I’ve noticed is the gradual awakening of many
on the soft left of the Labour Party to Mr. Blair’s blatant lying.
It seems that as soon as he is in trouble he lies, and persecutes
those who find him out. So whenever you hear Mr. Blair talking
of Serb atrocities, just ignore him. There is an easy test to
tell whether he is lying his lips move.
NEVER
TRUST THIS MAN
Tony
Blair is the driving force behind much of this destructive drive
for a New World Order. But if we applied the standards of genocide,
corruption or tolerance of dissent that are applied to Slobodan
Milosovic, we would soon see London Bridge and Westminster Abbey
destroyed by high level bombing. Under any other recent Prime
Minister, criticism under a pseudonym would be unthinkable, but
not under this one. I live under a monster don’t let him
expand his realm.
