- On the day of the London bombings, 7th July 2005, apparently
a date of deep mystical significance - 777 - I was here ; exploring the
ruins of Sawley Abbey, once the home of holy men and scholars, such as
the Oxford Chancellor of seven centuries ago, William of Rymyngton.
-
- But given the events on the day the picture was taken,
this historic site seems to have acquired a different resonance, an echo
maybe of Dresden, Hiroshima and Falluja. The London bombings were, as police
chiefs and politicians assured us some months before the event, 'inevitable'.
'Inevitable' is an interesting word, don't you think?
-
- Inevitable demolitions of monasteries, inevitable wars,
inevitable factory closures and inevitable globalisation. So history slouches
onwards, until we come to the allegedly inevitable conflict with the Islamic
world. We tremble on the edge of the abyss, but do we really want to fall
down into its depths, all just because of 'inevitability'?
-
- Our friend Gilad Atzmon has written of 'Zionised Britain',
and I for one wouldn't disagree. Nevertheless, this may not be the entire
story. In the heartfelt and passionate words of an old Yorkshire miner,
interviewed some years after he'd been through the gruelling and prolonged
strike of 1984-1985 :' We have the most evil ruling class on Earth.'
-
- For quite a long time now the British secret state has
been involved in dubious and obnoxious activities. Thirty-one years ago
came the bombings in Dublin and Monaghan, initially attributed to some
unknown Northern Irish loyalist group. But the best analysis suggests that
no such loyalist group had the technical and logistical capability to mount
such a devastating attack on civilians, which could only have been perpetrated
by some state agency.When you have people who are prepared to do this,
what else might they be capable of?
-
- Then again, there was the infamous Kincora Boys' Home
scandal, also in Northern Ireland, when elements of British intelligence
(an oxymoron in this context, as in most others!) apparently ran this children's
home as a homosexual brothel, in order to have leverage over local and
national politicians who patronised the place. The 'ordinary Joes' who
unknowingly provided the taxation revenue necessary to support such malign
activities were also, by and large, the victims of 7/7, poor harassed commuters
rushing from place to place. Very odd that these alleged 'Muslim bombers'
don't ever target anyone of real importance!
-
- But possibly no more strange than the warning phone calls
to that nice Mr. Netanyahu and the unexplained drop in the pound the day
before the bombings. Yes, these 'fanatical jihadists' have very bizarre
behaviour patterns!
-
- It was a British officer, General Frank Kitson, who first
thought up the concept that was later used in the formation of Al Qaeda.
He called it the 'pseudo gang' - a state sponsored group used to advance
an agenda, while discrediting the real opposition. The strategy was used
in both Kenya and Northern Ireland. In the case of Northern Ireland, most
of the violence that was attributed to 'Loyalists' was in actuality not
their handiwork, but the result of the activities of the death squads affiliated
to the British secret state.
-
- But it isn't really necessary to delve very intently
into the anomalies of 7/7 to understand the situation. Better to go along
with the simple old Roman maxim - cui bono? Who gains?
-
- In the wake of death and destruction in London, the man
in the orange make-up, Phoney Blair, improved his popularity ratings, while
the smart city investors made money on the market1. A pity you had to bomb
those make-up girls in the Belgrade TV studios, Tony, they might have done
a better and cheaper job of 'putting your face on', thus saving us thousands
of pounds in Prime Ministerial cosmetics.
-
- Of course, a very major opportunity was provided to further
demonise Islam. In particular, the headlines in the papers of porn baron
Richard Desmond - the Star and Express - seemed to breathe out hatred.
-
- It is all rather reminiscent of the writings of George
Orwell, whose real name was Blair - unlike the horrid mountebank in No
10 Downing Street whose ancestral moniker is in fact Parsons. Surprisingly
enough, his 1984 is still a set work in the English educational system.
Too revealing by half, I would have thought - for what do we have in that
book?
-
- We have the 'five minutes hate', so very similar to what
the Express, the Mirror and the Sun have being doing over the past three
weeks. Plus Ingsoc, a doctrine that has nothing to do with real socialism
as understood by George Lansbury or Keir Hardie, but which has plenty in
common with 'New Labour'.
-
- Then there this very apt and topical quote from Orwell
:
-
- In some ways she was far more acute than Winston, and
far less susceptible to the Party propaganda. Once when he happened to
mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that
in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs that fell daily
on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, just
to keep people frightened'. This was an idea that literally had not occurred
to him.
-
- 'Just to keep people frightened' - what better description
could there be for all the alarms, evacuations and other incidents over
the length and breadth of England?
-
- The government will call for more fear, more repression,
more regimentation and more abandonment of ancient liberties, and claim
it is fighting terror. In fact it is doing nothing of the kind. Instead
they are deliberately creating a crisis in order to push through an agenda.
-
- For the Arab and Muslim world this means more instability
and destruction, and for the Western world it means the imposition of a
virtual police state. It is vital that everyone realises this.
