    15 August 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    World Against War Conference
    The Stop the War Coalition will be holding an international peace conference in London on 1st December. The World Against War conference is a follow up to the successful international conference we hosted in 2005.
    We expect peace and anti war groups from South America, the Middle East, USA, South Asia, Canada and Europe. The conference will discuss the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and opposition to any attack on Iran. It will also look at the broader (…)

  • Hit them and hit them hard
    9 August 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Channel Four, producers of the "investigative" programme, Dispatches, have been reported to the industry regulator, Ofcom, by the West Midlands police for undermining community cohesion by misreporting the words of a Muslim preacher at the Birmingham Green Lane mosque.
    The preacher, an American Muslim, Abu Usamah, is reported by C4 as having made several racist and homophobic remarks. These, Abu Usamah says, were all taken out of context and, after examining over 50 hours of footage, the (…)

  • The BBC’s Deceit and Lies to Continue
    19 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    CHIMES OF FREEDOM, http://tinyurl.com/2o7979
    Listening to all the chest-beating currently emanating from a self-obsessed BBC anyone would think that nothing less than a revolution in broadcasting was going on. The BBC must not deceive the audience we are told by its Director General, Mark Thompson. In future, any programme makers who deceive the public will be shown the door, he promises.
    And BBC staff are going to be trained in how to be honest!
    Hurrah, at last the message has got (…)

  • Media Lens: a very British Gatekeeper?
    15 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Medialens is a British website which aspires to view the British mainstream media with a critical eye and to monitor its output, "correcting for the distorted vision of the corporate media," it claims.
    For years now it has had a running exchange with the BBC about its heavily biased reporting, particularly on the issues of Iraq and Afghanistan.
    From time to time, I have quoted Medialens on my blog and though I have no time for its editors, Messrs Cromwell and Edwards, the two Davids, (…)

  • Brown message to US: it’s time to build, not destroy

    Brown message to US: it’s time to build, not destroy Minister signals foreign policy shift ahead of PM’s Washington trip
    Patrick Wintour and Julian Borger Friday July 13, 2007, The Guardian
    The first clear signs that Gordon Brown will reorder Britain’s foreign policy emerged last night when one of his closest cabinet allies urged the US to change its priorities and said a country’s strength should no longer be measured by its destructive military power.
    Douglas Alexander, the trade and (…)

  • The British Broadcasting Conspiracy exposed by a Children’s Programme and an Anachronism!
    14 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    At last, the lying nature of the BBC propaganda machine has been exposed in the full glare of publicity. The event that has triggered this is, in my opinion, of very little consequence and by focusing on it and other petty issues it appears that, true to form, the BBC is trying desperately to distract our attention from the elephant in its living room.
    Nevertheless, with the Controller of BBC 1, Peter Fincham, squirming and wringing his hands at the suggestion of his resignation, it has (…)

  • Reinventing A War Criminal
    10 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Britain’s most despised and discredited man ended his 10 year reign June 27 when he stepped down from office transferring his ruling Labor Party’s leadership to successor Gordon Brown. He had no choice because of seething public displeasure over his allying with George Bush’s illegal wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. Most Brits oppose them, yet the vast majority of Labor and Conservative MPs, including new prime minister Gordon Brown, supported them early on, now may have second thoughts, but (…)

  • The Hitlerization of Britain
    8 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
    11 comments

    Quietly but insidiously, Gordon Brown’s regime is working diligently to turn Britain into a full-blown police state, the kind which Hitler and Stalin would have been proud of.
    Almost unannounced, Britain now has a Minister of Security, ex-Navy Admiral, Sir Alan West.
    The creation of such a post is a disturbing sign of how advanced has become the politicization of the intelligence and police services in Britain and their servility to a foreign policy created, not in Britain, but in (…)

  • News Flash: Chemical Weapon Terrorist Plot Thwarted in the UK!

    News Flash: Chemical Weapon Terrorist Plot Thwarted in the UK! Written by Chris Floyd Wednesday, 04 July 2007
    British authorities thwarted a plot by UK-born extremists – including a medical professional – to manufacture chemical bombs to be used in fomenting a “civil war” between Muslims and Christians in the UK, the Guardian reports, and the alleged perpetrators are now on trial.
    But why are we telling you this? Surely, it’s been splashed 24-7 across CNN and Fox News. You have doubtless (…)

  • Helpful Training Video for Glasgow Fire Brigade
    8 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Seeing as the Glasgow Fire Brigade was so clumsy (deliberately? god forbid!) in putting out the recent Glasgow Airport blaze with water hoses (petrol and water don’t mix and using water hoses only spreads a fire) here’s a useful video from Mendocino County on how to put out a fire from a propane tank.
    The latest BBC propaganda is about what a brave lot of lads they were to prevent explosions and the rest of the airport burning down. Yup, with three water hoses.
    No mention that propane (…)
