... (c ) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 28) December 1994 Last | Contents | Next Issue 28 Letter from America Martin Cannon Compromised Reporting Taking its cue from a powerful network of far-right radio commentators, the American press insists on noting only those financial scandals which don't sully ultra-conservative politicians. Of either party. For example: Rush Limbaugh, who has become the Republican Party's Goebbels, loudly applauded Clinton's appointment of Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen, an appalling Texas (Democrat) senator who strongly supported the Nicaraguan contras. This seal of approval may explain why Radio Right, in its fury to denounce the Waco debacle, refused to ...

... The EU: A Corporatist Racket How the European Union was created by global corporatism for global corporatism David Barnby Available from Amazon.co.uk for £8 .99 The author of this self-published book is a member of the Conservative Party in Witney in Oxfordshire (MP David Cameron) and, more importantly, a member of that party's anti-EU wing. This is centrally about the background to, and the political and state deceptions involved in, getting the UK into the EU. There is an account here of the 1950s CIA-funded American Committee on a United Europe (ACUE) and its relationship with the European Movement. But it's not a ...

... in 1987 Reagan abolished the USA's 'fairness doctrine', which demanded political balance from news reporting bodies. The rest, as they say, is history, although one wonders if Mr Murdoch has a slyer sense of humour than we realised, since it was precisely the abolition of the 'fairness doctrine' that enabled the growth of the rabidly-conservative self-styled 'fair and balanced' Fox News. Murdoch's covert pas de deux with the Gipper raises interesting questions about news coverage of some of the 14 <https://consortiumnews.com/2014/12/31/murdoch-scaife-and-cia- propaganda/> CIA's dealings in Central America, which were ...

... of covert violence. Back to the future (again) It was not surprising to see Guido Fawkes, <www.order-order.com>, involved in both the generation and recycling of the anti-Corbyn smears in February. The main man there is Paul Staines, who was one of the radical right, Federation of Conservative Students, Liberation Alliance kids in the early 1980s, who got their jollies trying to shock the British liberal-left by being aggressively anti-PC.47 Staines worked for David Hart as editor of his smear sheet British Briefing sometime in the 1980s.48 British Briefing carried on the work that used to be done by IRD – ...

... is is simply that the spooks (like other public bodies) are also now getting younger personnel, educated since the 1970s, many of whom cannot spell, punctuate or write coherently? Cometh the hour cometh the man? As a quick Google will show, there is quite a media band-wagon rolling now for Rory Stewart, prospective Conservative parliamentary candidate for the safe Tory seat of Penrith. By any standards Stewart is a striking man but to date none of the major media portraits have seen fit to include the interesting information that Stewart is not, as they all report, a former diplomat, but a former member of MI6. (Is the bandwagon the MI6 media ...

... Demos and Nexus. These groups at least appeared to have some seed corn funds from the private sector, although funding of the parallel structures of soft power influence in support of modernisation were generally as opaque as everything else is in British politics. On the other hand, funds drained out of the Left as the trades unions themselves began to conserve resources, concentrate on membership issues and dedicate their direct political funding to the next election as campaign funding. Modernising trades unionists also diverted interest into organisations like Unions 21 and into matching private sector interest in some left think-tanks; as my experience with Catalyst showed, funds for traditional left-wing causes virtually dried up and very ...

... the Founding Fathers intended to create the republic that is today the paragon of capitalism and the 'greatest purveyor of violence in the world' (which in terms of weapons exports and military expenditure it still certainly is), then the Founding Fathers certainly intended a counter-revolution. When the dead US president, now beatified, spoke to the Conservative Political Action Conference two hundred and ten years later he said: 'They are our brothers, these freedom fighters, and we owe them our help.
