The Big Society – Cameron’s love of charity

Follow @JohnPlatinumG
Atlantic Bridge was a Conservative charity which it seems was laundering money to fund a neo-con Zionist reorganisation of the world order. The Charity Commission closed it down for purporting to be a charity when in reality it was a political organisation and, as we all know now, its money was being used in expenses for the despicable, non-vetted, self-promoting, defence buffoon Adam Werritty, an issue over which the Minister of Defence, Liam Fox, was forced to resign.

With Margaret Thatcher as its honorary president all the leading lights of the Tory party, William Hague, Liam Fox, George Osborne, Michael Gove and Chris Grayling have served on the charity’s board. Cameron himself managed to keep his nose clean but it will be noted that Lord Astor of Hever was on the board and met Werritty at a defence meeting in the Middle East in December 2010. Lord Astor just happens to be Cameron’s father-in-law. It would be surprising, even remiss of him, if Cameron did not know what was going on.

Considering these defence issues brings into the spotlight the circular flow of big money. Charitable donations are made to the Tory party by people, like Tony Buckingham, in exchange for favours in the newly-conquered oilfields of the Middle East. Taking care to protect this circular flow there is nothing in writing to confirm how it works. The super-rich Buckingham, who claims to be a former-mercenary, with his company Heritage Oil, has oil-interests in Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Kurdistan and elsewhere. He describes himself as a former mercenary, but to my mind he is still the aggressive mercenary he was but now having private armies to defend oil interests stolen from the legitimate owners before we (NATO countries) waged war on Islamic regimes.

Goodbye to the canal system

Further demonstrating his love of charities and charitable works this morning Cameron announced that canal waterways of England and Wales were to be handed over to the charitable sector in line with what he calls his Big Society. What the Big Society really amounts to is working for nothing. Over the next 15 years the canals will only get a third from government funding of what has been spent on them previously, and the rest will be paid for by charitable donations and maintenance by dedicated canal enthusiasts, who might start off enthusiastically but when they realise it is just them the enthusiasm will wane. This scheme, like the hot or cold pasty tax, is doomed to failure. The eighteenth century pioneers of our beautiful canal network will be turning in their graves.

Puffballs on the hill

Follow @JohnPlatinumG

On Wednesday 4^th July I drove up to Menwith Hill telecommunications’ interception site near Harrogate. It was to take part in a demonstration in favour of Independence from America. The site and what it does is masked in secrecy. What it is known it can do is intercept millions of telephones, emails and other electronic communications at any given time. There is reliable information to show that it also directs communications and provides support for the drones that kill and maim innocents in various parts of the world (usually the Muslim and oil-rich world) ever since Labour defence minister, Des Brown, granted permission without parliamentary debate, to upgrade the listening station to a missile control station. There has never been a debate in parliament for the existence of this US base since it was set up and rented out in the early 1950s to spy on the Russians.

The listening/missile control station shares the grounds on which it stands, a beautiful National Park of Yorkshire, with an RAF station. One breakthrough of this year’s Independence from America saw Squadron Leader Patrick Curry, the RAF Liaison Officer to NSA/USAF at Menwith Hill presented with an Independence from America charter drawn up by CAAB (Campaign for the Abolition of American Bases). I briefly got to speak to Patrick Curry, a genial man who had a friendly air about him as he met protestors, but then that is one of the functions of a liaison officer in any profession. When I mentioned that like most other people in this country I object to my electronic communications being intercepted by my own country, let alone the United States, he seemed to think there was more chance of the Murdochs tapping my phone than anyone at Menwith Hill. This flies in the face of everything that is known about the interception station.

Squadron Leader Patrick Curry is presented with the Independence from America charter

Everybody in this beloved country of mine should be concerned about this monstrosity, with its giant puffballs marring the countryside, with its capacity to gather information about individuals, including royalty and politicians, as well as an intent to cause untold misery abroad. Not far from the station stand a number of wind-turbines. I am not opposed to alternative technology. Driving home we spotted a significant police presence by the wind-turbines. These are the only wind turbines guarded by police that I have ever seen but the reason the police were there was to keep a low profile for the demonstration. However it occurs to me that one purpose for the windfarm's close proximity to the base is to provide electricity in the event of a national grid malfunction.

I have special reason to want to see Menwith Hill base closed. When I was a callow apprentice one of my tutors at Blackburn Technical College was Bob Cryer, then teaching General Studies, who later became M.P. for Keighley. He was the only M.P. to my knowledge to raise questions in the House of Commons as to why we have an American Base gathering information on British citizens. His death in a car accident took place while he was raising questions about the existence of the US base. This makes me highly suspicious, and more so recently, with false flag information emerging about 9/11.

Bishops to Queen's pawn 1

Follow @JohnPlatinumG On Sunday, the first Sunday I have not been working for weeks, Father Oliver Coss, was compelled, as were all other Anglican priests, to read out a letter from Catholic Bishops, which I confess (and it's the only confession the church will get out of me) raised my hackles and disturbed me for the rest of an inordinately long mass. The content began by aiming to draw the church back to the dark old days when church and monarch were inextricably linked. Let me remind people it was this kind of mentality that led to the Birmingham Riots of 1791.

The letter then went on to oppose the ordination of women priests. Please, the church has to move with the times. To my mind the great bonus of ordaining women priests and bishops, especially after Sunday's missive, is that there is a chance of getting rid of the fuddy-duddy old flatulents that put this letter together. Let's get one or two things into perspective. Women in the church have as much right to female counsel as men have to male counsel. Our monarch, who it appears these traditionalists are pleased to have as head of the church, is a woman. So the head of the Church of England can be a woman, but not priests and bishops. This misplaced misogyny of, I hope, a couple of handfuls of bishops cannot be tolerated in a progressive church. And if the church is not progressive it will alienate people, and I will be one of those alienated.

The Queen is the head of the Church of England. But she is no more a God than the Emperor Claudius or Rodrigo Borgia. Neither are bishops. Enough said!

Rough, tough, I've had enough justice

Follow @JohnPlatinumG The law-courts of the world should be dismantled and anarchy should rule!

There is an excellent argument for anarchy ruling since the legal institutions of the world are there simply to protect the interests of one section of society - the super-rich, neo-con, Zionist elite. Good people are in western prisons because of this injudicious system of law.

Bradley Manning, who allegedly leaked the footage of US military operatives opening fire on and killing  unarmed civilians, is in prison for allegedly revealing the truth to the world. Babar Ahmed, beaten up by British police, has been in prison for 8 years and now faces extradition to the most corrupt country on God's earth. Julian Assange, to whom the whole world should be thankful for his Wikileaks - the only source of accurate information - is now in danger of being extradited to Sweden on trumped-up charges. Sweden will sell him to their Yankee masters to try and plug the leak in Wikileaks and gag Assange himself.

We pay these overfed judges huge amounts of taxpayers money to make it as difficult as possible for honest people. Take the Assange case just heard in a British court. In the laugh-a-minute report from this case, Assange versus the Swedish Prosecution Authority, which finds in favour of the latter, there is the following paragraph:

“Everyone arrested or detained in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 1(c) of this article shall be brought promptly before a
judge or other officer authorised by law to exercise judicial power
and shall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time…”


So how has this kind of justice been applied to Babar Ahmed in this country, and Bradley Manning in the US?

Student journalism - is it what it used to be?

Follow @JohnPlatinumG Glen Moutrie is editor of the student newspaper, Redbrick, the student newspaper for the University of Birmingham which is alma mater for my first and masters degrees. In my undergraduate days I used to write for Redbrick. That was when Damien Quinn was editor. I have emailed Glen Moutrie 3 times, the first containing an article which outlines my reasons for calling for the resignation of Dominic Grieve. Grieve has prohibited an inquest into the death of Dr David Kelly. I believe certain sectors of the student fraternity would sign up for Grieve's resignation if they knew about the epetition.

Moutrie was presented with a Guardian award for student journalism last year, so I cannot understand why he failed to get back to me regarding, if I dare write it, the well-argued article I sent him. Either the powers-that-be have diverted these emails to his trash bin without him seeing them (which would not surprise me) or he is rude, which is not what I would like to think. I seek answers.
