[…] idea was first put forth by New Yorker, a champion of the U.S. mall culture. The U.S. militia ‘right’ certainly would recognize the whole process of Tony Blair abandoning British self-interest to dimly understood international investment banking conspirators. I wonder, however, if the militias or their ‘left’ counterparts really see the rather old assumptions […]
[…] up by BBC news. Louisa Garrett was seen on TV claiming that she ‘doesn’t really know’ who she voted for, but that she had ‘voted for Tony Blair and then put him to bed’. In actual fact, she had signed away her vote to the brother of a local Conservative party worker. This was […]
[…] Way as a compromise between free market capitalism and social democracy has little guidance to offer at the international level.’ Tim Dunne and Nicholas J. Wheeler, ‘The Blair doctrine: advancing the Third Way in the world’ conclude (p. 74): ‘The good intentions of assisting the independence of the East Timorese have been undermined completely […]
[…] history, but the retelling of fragments of imperial history ranging from the Jamaican and Indian rebellions through the Palestine revolt, Mau Mau and Suez to the Bush- Blair alliance of our own time. It’s a very useful short antidote to the well-publicised sweep of Niall Ferguson. The telegenic Harvard academic tells us of his […]
[…] disappear. In ours he is simply being kept down. Robert Henderson is being harassed now because he made a fuss at being harassed in 1997 by Tony Blair and his circle. In effect, he is now being harassed because he is being a bloody nuisance to the powers-that-be. Happily, as a retired Inland Revenue […]
[…] and Trilateral Commission, Trilateralism (ed. Holly Sklar), which I had assumed was long out of print. Price is £15.95 plus 10% for postage. With Bilderberg guest Tony Blair in office, it is hard to imagine a more important single volume. Meanwhile, back on Planet Weird, is Newspeak, ‘a guide to alternative information’. Like Flatland, […]
[…] Presswise is a charity which primarily exists to represent the interests of those abused by the Press. Their Web site now contains details of the Robert Henderson/ Blair Scandal. The details can be found by going from the Presswise Home Page (www.presswise.org.uk/) to either ‘Mediation’ and then ‘complaining to regulators’, or via ‘Briefings’ and […]
[…] Justin Raimondo assembles some respectable sources on this at Bliar: didn’t have room to mention in the last issue The Spectator’s Peter Oborne’s splendid attack on Tony Blair for ‘the politicisation of terror’. (If anything, this is even more apposite now than it was then.) There was a Channel 4 TV programme and a […]
[…] Tussaud’s depiction of the Nativity, December 2004. This was, in media terms, a classic ‘spoiler’. Hypocrisy, however, is rampant: so far as I am aware, Prime Minister Blair, in Palestine at the same time, did not, in public at least, mention the plight of Bethlehem or the Church of the Nativity. Endorsement: possibly because […]
[…] a selection from the Socialist Workers’ Party’s publications. The subject matter ranges from major pieces about Lockerbie and Colin Wallace, a collection of savage attacks on the Blair crew, through individual scandals (notably his brilliant assault on Jeffrey Archer in the Evening Standard and his account of the destruction of the Daily Mirror) to […]
