- Introduction
-
- I have already written on the issue of the jewish funding
of the blair governments.
-
- http://themundiclub.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
-
- The so-called `cash for honours' controversy was a zionist
euphemism for the more pertinent reality of `jewish cash for jewish policies'.
Blair's chief fundraiser was lord levy, frequently referred to within labour
party circles as `lord cashpoint'. Some of the labour party's biggest donors
during the blair years were jews. The blair governments were the most rabidly
pro-jewish governments this country has ever witnessed. Blair's foreign
policies were almost wholly favourable to the jews-only state in palestine
and relinquished any semblance of even handedness between jews and palestinians/arabs/moslems
in the greater middle east. It is clear that jewish cash led to blair's
implementation of jewish foreign policies. However, the exact mechanism
by which cash was transformed into policies is not known. It is possible
that jewish donors negotiated with blair and his jewish advisers the payment
of specific donations in return for specific policies. However, it is also
possible that the relationship was more indirect. The more jewish cash
pumped into labour's coffers, the more aware blair would have been about
the party's dependence on these donations, and the more willing he was
to implement foreign policies which would elicit further jewish donations.
-
- This article explores the revelations over david abrahams'
secret, and therefore illegal, donations to the labour party. Although
gordon brown has been in power for only a few months it seems unlikely
he will diverge from blair's unequivocal support for jewish racism. With
abrahams' donations coming under police investigation it is possible the
mechanism by which jews buy britain's foreign policies might be revealed.
It is, however, doubtful: unless someone confesses. But if justice is not
merely to be done i.e. punishing those guilty of making illegal donations,
it must also be seen to be done by ending the correlation between jewish
cash and jewish policies which has now reached the stage where the labour
government supports the jews' policies of starving palestinians into submission
and bombing iran for having non-existent nuclear weapons. It will only
be when this correlation is abolished that justice will be seen to be done.
-
- The Donor
-
- David Abrahams is, "The son of a former lord mayor
of Newcastle .." (Haroon Siddique `Profile: David Abrahams' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/story/0,,2217783,00.html
November 27, 2007). He is reputedly a wealthy property developer "the
director of six property companies in Newcastle." (Haroon Siddique
`Profile: David Abrahams' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/story/0,,2217783,00.html
November 27, 2007).
-
- Did Abrahams' Donations Come From Other Donors?
-
- Although abrahams has been reported in the media as being
wealthy there are doubts as to just how wealthy he is. The extent of his
wealth is a mystery. He does not feature in any list of the country's most
wealthy people. Just how wealthy can someone be when their companies aren't
making profits? "How did Mr Abrahams make enough money from his business
interests, he uses different names and dates of birth and has yet to run
a company that has declared a profit, to fund his donations?" (George
Parker and Jimmy Burns `Labour braced for police probe' http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/65b73366-9df5-11dc-9f68-0000779fd2ac.html
November 28, 2007).
-
- Abrahams hasn't always acted like a multi-millionaire.
Firstly, "And, according to a former senior revenue collection officer
at the (Newcastle city) council, he simply refused to pay his rates. "Time
and time again we were frustrated by David Abrahams," the former council
official said yesterday. "He was what you'd call a fly boy. He would
buy an off-the-shelf company as a vehicle for his property development
interests, use it for a while then create another and so on. He racked
up rate arrears totalling around £10,000 [about £70,000 in
today's money.] "He had a large residence in Gosforth [an up-market
area of the city] for which he also failed to pay rates. "We had the
option to seek his imprisonment for non-payment of rates and began to do
so, but Abrahams must have called down a favour from his father and the
instruction came from on high that we were not to pursue it. "I was
disgusted but not really surprised. He was quite openly flaunting his family
ties and the Labour Party ruled Newcastle."" (Richard Pendlebury
`The fantasy world of Labour's dodgy donor' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=496834&in_page_id=1770
November 27, 2007). Secondly, "Neighbours in the road where he has
lived alone for years in two houses knocked together report that an almost
permanent fixture on the front drive is "a knackered old Volvo"."
(Richard Pendlebury `The fantasy world of Labour's dodgy donor' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=496834&in_page_id=1770
November 27, 2007).
-
- Even those who knew him politically have raised doubts
about the scale of his wealth and this has led to an intriguing question:
whether he was just a front man for another donor. "The Conservatives
were asking if Mr Abrahams was a "conduit" for money from another
source, although there was no clear evidence for this. The theory was fuelled
by Tony Blair's old election agent, John Burton, who said: "I never
thought he had that sort of money." The Telegraph said his disclosed
assets at Companies House amounted to just £144,000. His total known
donations exceed £670,000 which Labour intends to repay." (`'You're
not up to the job Gordon': Cameron launches blistering attack over donor
scandal' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=496822&in_page_id=1770
November 28, 2007).
-
- What adds to the suspicion that abrahams could be a front
for other donors (perhaps jack abramoff, boris berezovsky, mossad, or even
the jews-only state in palestine) is his avoidance of giving money directly
to the labour party. He has stated he wanted to preserve his privacy but
this seems at odds with the prominence he seemed to enjoy at the labour
party's prestigious, national, fundraising functions. Perhaps the reason
he was hiding his role as one of the labour party's biggest donors was
that if this had been public knowledge, as it is with lord sainsbury, then
the electoral commission might have felt the need to investigate his sources
of income.
-
- The telegraph newspaper splashed such speculation on
its front page. "Fears are growing within the party that David Abrahams,
who hid his identity by using four intermediaries, may himself have been
a conduit for another mystery benefactor, after senior Labour figures questioned
his personal wealth." (Robert Winnett and Gordon Rayner `Hunt for
'mystery benefactor' in Gordon Brown's donations scandal' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=EJEC3LU
- 1ROPH5QFIQMFCFFWAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/29/nbrown129.xml
November 29, 2007). The photograph accompanying this article showed abrahams
in the company of "the former Israeli ambassador Zvi Hefeitz at a
London party last year." It has to be wondered what message the telegraph
was trying to convey with such a photograph especially when the article
went on to point out that the ambassador has been cleared of money laundering
allegations. "Last year he (abrahams) was pictured shaking hands with
the then Israeli ambassador, Zvi Heifetz, who was questioned then cleared
over money-laundering allegations. Mr Heifetz was recently appointed as
an adviser to Mr Blair in his role as Middle East peace envoy." (Robert
Winnett and Gordon Rayner `Hunt for 'mystery benefactor' in Gordon Brown's
donations scandal' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=EJEC3LU
- 1ROPH5QFIQMFCFFWAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/29/nbrown129.xml
November 29, 2007).
-
- Abraham's Donations
-
- Total Donations to the Labour Party.
- Since 2003, david abrahams secretly donated through four
known conduits, jane kidd, ray ruddick, john mccarthy, and janet dunn,
somewhere in the region of £650,000.
-
- Donations to the Labour Party under Gordon Brown.
- Abrahams' secret payments to the labour party continued
after brown became prime minister. "Between them (ruddick and kidd),
they are listed as giving the party £222,000 since Brown became leader
in June . Abrahams said he was also responsible for donations to Labour
from John McCarthy .. including £90,000 since Brown took office."
(Elizabeth Stewart `Abrahams gave money to Benn and Harman' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/funding/story/0,,2217733,00.html
November 27, 2007).
-
- The donations given to labour under gordon brown by ruddick
and kidd make them, "collectively his third biggest donors."
(Elizabeth Stewart `Abrahams gave money to Benn and Harman' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/funding/story/0,,2217733,00.html
November 27, 2007). So if abrahams' payments to brown's labour party also
include those of the other two surrogates, he could well be the party's
second biggest donor. The biggest donor being david sainsbury.
-
- Who Received Abraham's Donations?
-
- It seems that in addition to his funding of the labour
party, abrahams also funded campaigns run by particular labour politicians.
-
- Hilary Benn.
-
- Janet kidd offered abraham's money to hilary benn. This
offer was rejected. But when abraham's offered the donation directly to
benn, it was accepted. "However, the Benn campaign team turned down
the cheque after discovering that the money in fact originated from Abrahams.
Abrahams later offered a donation of the same sum in his own name, which
was accepted by Benn's team." (Elizabeth Stewart `Abrahams gave money
to Benn and Harman' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/funding/story/0,,2217733,00.html
November 27, 2007).
-
- Gordon Brown.
-
- Kidd also offered a substantial donation to gordon brown
but it was refused. "Mr Abrahams, a millionaire property developer
.. used his secretary, Ms Kidd, to offer Mr Brown's leadership campaign
team a donation, thought to be around £25,000, but his team turned
it down because he did not know her personally." (Colin Brown `The
man behind Labour's troubles' http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3201560.ece
November 28, 2007).
-
- Harriet Harman.
-
- Harriet harman accepted a donation from kidd. "It
also emerged that Harman also received a £5,000 donation from Kidd
towards her victorious campaign for Labour's deputy leadership. She say
she was unaware the money had been funnelled through an intermediary."
(Elizabeth Stewart `Abrahams gave money to Benn and Harman' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/funding/story/0,,2217733,00.html
November 27, 2007).
-
- The New Labour MP for Sedgefield.
-
- "Mr Abrahams partly bankrolled Labour's campaign
for the Sedgefield by-election in Co Durham." He donated a total of
£62,000 in two cheques on the day that Tony Blair announced he was
standing down. He used Ms Kidd to pay £38,000 towards the Labour
campaign and Mr Ruddick to donate £24,000." (Colin Brown `The
man behind Labour's troubles' http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3201560.ece
November 28, 2007).
-
- General Secretary's Resignation
-
- After gordon brown heard the allegations about david
abrahams' secret donations he appointed peter watt, the labour party's
general secretary, to investigate. However, watt was quickly forced to
resign after he admitted he'd known for a year that abrahams had been channelling
donations to the labour party through intermediaries.
-
- Watt argued he didn't know the law even though it was
his responsibility to ensure financial payments to the party were within
the law. "Watt, 37, acknowledged he was legally responsible for reporting
details of donations to the Electoral Commission. "As a result of
press coverage over the weekend, I sought legal advice on behalf of the
party. I was advised that, unbeknown to me, there were additional reporting
requirements. Once I discovered this error, I immediately notified the
officers of the NEC," Watt said." (Elizabeth Stewart `Abrahams
gave money to Benn and Harman' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/funding/story/0,,2217733,00.html
November 27, 2007). It seems beyond belief that he didn't know the use
of proxies was illegal. "Watt quit on Monday claiming he did not know
it was unlawful to use conduits to prevent true source of a donation being
disclosed." (Patrick Wintour `Harman clings on as donation row escalates'
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/story/0,,2218149,00.html November
28, 2007); "Watt was said to be "kicking himself" that he
had not seen that it was in breach of the Political Parties Act to allow
a donor to use an agent or conduit to fund a political party without the
information being disclosed. Since the act is largely about ensuring that
the true identity of donors is disclosed, his ignorance "was as inexplicable
as it was inexcusable", said one Labour NEC official present."
(Patrick Wintour `The 'usual terms' that left Labour in a 'mind-blowing'
mess' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/funding/story/0,,2220149,00.html December
01, 2007).
-
- Those in the know about Labour's Third Biggest Donor
-
- At first it was argued only peter watt knew about abrahams'
secret donations. It has since transpired two others also knew.
-
- Baroness Jay.
-
- Jay was the trustee of a labour party fundraising organisation
the `thousand club'. "Baroness Jay's intervention is significant because
on Monday, Labour claimed the only party figure who knew Mr Abrahams gave
money through intermediaries was Peter Watt, who quit as its general secretary
after admitting the rules were breached." (Andrew Grice `Harman haunted
by £5,000 gift as 'Friends in the North' row grows' http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3201561.ece
November 28, 2007). She advised hilary benn not to accept a donation from
janet kidd. "Hilary Benn, the Environment Secretary, turned down a
£5,000 donation from Ms Kidd for his deputy leadership campaign,
because Baroness Jay of Paddington, a former cabinet minister on his team,
knew she was giving it on behalf of Mr Abrahams." (Andrew Grice `Harman
haunted by £5,000 gift as 'Friends in the North' row grows'http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3201561.ece
November 28, 2007). It has been asked. "How did Baroness Jay, a former
trustee of the "blind trust" financing Tony Blair's office, know
that Ms Kidd was a front for David Abrahams?" (George Parker and Jimmy
Burns `Labour braced for police probe' http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/65b73366-9df5-11dc-9f68-0000779fd2ac.html
November 28, 2007).
-
- Jon Mendelsohn.
-
- Soon after baroness jay's admission that she had advised
hilary benn not to accept a donation from janet kidd, jon mendelsohn was
forced to admit he also knew about abrahams' use of intermediaries. "Labour's
struggle to keep back the tide of allegations collapsed in disarray with
the astonishing disclosure that one of the Prime Minister's right-hand
men had known about the falsely-declared donations for weeks. Jon Mendelsohn,
Mr Brown's election fundraiser, responded by writing warmly to donor David
Abrahams as one of Labour's "strongest supporters"." (`'You're
not up to the job Gordon': Cameron launches blistering attack over donor
scandal' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article
- _id=496822&in_page_id=1770 November 28, 2007). Over
the last decade or more, mendelsohn must have seen abrahams at many of
labour's big fundraising functions. It staggers belief he hadn't known
for years that abrahams was the labour party's second or third biggest
donor. Given that he was such a close friend of lord levy this makes such
ignorance even more implausible.
-
- Abrahams recently alleged he told mendelsohn about his
use of proxies in april 2007. "The secret donor at the heart of Labour's
funding scandal dramatically pointed the finger of blame at Gordon Brown's
chief fundraiser last night. David Abrahams, who illegally gave more than
£600,000 to the party through middlemen, claimed that Jon Mendelsohn
knew about the practice months before he even started his job. And he claimed
that he told Mr Mendelsohn of his donation method as long ago as April,
almost six months before Mr Brown appointed him to the fundraising post."
(James Chapman `Secret donor Abrahams: I told Brown's money man about secret
donations EIGHT months ago' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=498879&in_page_id=1770
November 30, 2007); "The two men are understood to have met at a Board
of Deputies of British Jews dinner held in April, at which Mr Brown spoke
as chancellor. Mr Mendelsohn acknowledges sitting next to Mr Abrahams but
denies asking for a donation." (Alex Barker and Jimmy Burns `Labour
fundraiser and UK donor at odds' http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/b4d0b850-9f8f-11
- dc-8031-0000779fd2ac.html November 30 2007).
-
- In 1995, jon mendelsohn became an adviser to tony blair
for the two years leading up to blair's first general election victory.
During this time he worked closely with lord levy. "He is a close
friend of Lord Levy, who was at the heart of Labour's cash for peerages
affair." (Christopher Hope `Jon Mendelsohn profile: a real Mr Fix-It'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/28/nbrown1928.xml
November 29, 2007).
-
- After blair's election victory, mendelsohn set up a lobbying
firm to cash in on the good work he'd done on blair's behalf. "It
was exactly nine years ago that Mendelsohn and his lobby firm partners
were caught trading cash for access. How this Mendelsohn character ended
up heading Labour Party fundraising and how he obtained the sobriquet 'ethical'
is the real shocker. Mendelsohn's partner Neil Lawson told my recorder
that, if I paid LLM £5,000 to £20,000 per month, "We can
go to anyone. We can go to Gordon Brown if we have to." Brown was
at the time Chancellor of the Exchequer." (Greg Palast `PM Gordon
Brown's Fixer Explains How It's Done' http://www.rense.com/general79/explain.htm
November 29, 2007).
-
- In 2002, mendelsohn, the chair of labour friends of israel,
had been involved in a verbal confrontation with abrahams. "He was
formerly chair of Labour Friends of Israel, where his path is said to have
crossed that of David Abrahams, who was reportedly asked to leave the organisation
five years ago." (Haroon Siddique `Ethical lobbyist caught up in donations
row' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/funding/story/0,,2218332,00.html November
28, 2007).
-
- In August 2007m gordon brown appointed mendelsohn as
labour's director of general election resources. He was alleged to be brown's
own mr cashpoint. "Mr Mendelsohn, described by friends as "a
real Mr Fix-It, like Lord Levy [Labour's former chief fund-raiser] and
Matthew Freud [the PR guru] rolled into one .."" (Christopher
Hope `Jon Mendelsohn profile: a real Mr Fix-It' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/28/nbrown1928.xml
November 29, 2007).
-
- Some of mendelsohn's admirers have been spinning that
he was hired as a new broom to sweep away the sleaze of the blair regime.
"When Jon Mendelsohn was hired to be Gordon Brown's chief fundraiser
he was seen as a new broom who was sure to side-step controversy after
his predecessor Lord Levy found himself mired in the cash for honours inquiry."
(Christopher Hope `Jon Mendelsohn profile: a real Mr Fix-It' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/28/nbrown1928.xml
November 29, 2007). In reality, he'd been a key member of blair's advisory
team and, as a lobbyist, had become wealthy by trading on cash for access.
He was no more of a new broom than gordon brown. Not surprisingly, demands
have been made for mendelsohn's resignation.
-
- Those who should've known about Labour's Third Biggest
Donor
-
- Douglas Alexander.
-
- "Mr Mendelsohn works closely with election co-ordinator
Douglas Alexander; one of the Prime Minister's closest Cabinet colleagues.
But party sources insisted that Mr Alexander knew nothing of the dodgy
donations." (`'You're not up to the job Gordon': Cameron launches
blistering attack over donor scandal' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=496822&in_page_id=1770
November 28, 2007).
-
- Harriet Harman's Husband Jack Dromey.
-
- "General secretary Peter Watt has admitted that
he knew David Abrahams was giving money in secret. Critics said last night
that, if Mr Watt knew, it was highly unlikely that Mr Dromey would have
had no idea what was going on. As treasurer, Mr Dromey is chairman of Labour's
audit committee and business board, which scrutinises donations to ensure
they are within the rules." (`'You're not up to the job Gordon': Cameron

- id=496822&in_page_id=1770 November 28, 2007); "Harriet
Harman and her husband Jack Dromey were under intense pressure today as
new questions were raised over donations to her deputy leadership campaign.
The Commons Leader and Labour Treasurer, often dubbed the party's "golden
couple", refused to comment on the donor affair despite the growing
row over the details of how she received a £5,000 gift from a stooge
of David Abrahams. Mr Dromey has gone to ground, refusing to answer any
questions about his own role. He is deputy general secretary of the T&G
section of Unite union, but also Labour's treasurer and chairman of its
business board for high value donors. An analysis of Ms Harman's campaign
funds has found that of the £46,000 donated to her, £33,000
was registered only after she won the deputy leadership on 25 June. Lord
Cunningham questioned why Mr Dromey was apparently kept in the dark about
Mr Abrahams's donations, just as he was about the loans which led to the
"cash for honours' inquiry." (Donor scandal: Deputy Harriet Harman's

under three different general secretaries: including Lord Triesman (who
won a promotion) and Matt Carter." (Robert Winnett `More Labour heads
to roll as the story unfolds' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/28/nbrown928.xml

Mr Abrahams' covert donations?" (George Parker and Jimmy Burns `Labour

-
- Chris Leslie.
-
- Chris leslie is married to one of gordon brown's former
aides, was the co-ordinator of brown's leadership campaign and a former
junior minister. He's stated: "I did not know who Mr Abrahams or Mrs
Kidd were." (Robert Winnett `Labour at war over party donations' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=45UNOP1EGVOU5
- QFIQMFCFFWAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/30/nbrown130.xml
November 30, 2007).
-
- Leslie became embroiled in a controversy with harriet
harmon over abrahams' donations. "The team of the deputy party leader,
Harriet Harman, blamed Chris Leslie, Mr Brown's campaign co-ordinator,
for suggesting they should approach Janet Kidd, Mr Abrahams' secretary
and one of his proxy donors, for a donation to her team." (Colin Brown
`Brown aide in the frame as police are asked to investigate donations'
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3209867.ece November 30,
2007). However, according to leslie, in late may mrs kidd offered a donation
to gordon brown which he rejected. "He (leslie) said: "In late
May, I received a phone call from a man calling himself David Abrahams
referring me to a woman named Janet Kidd who said that she wanted to be
a donor to the campaign. I did not know who Mr Abrahams or Mrs Kidd were.
"I contacted Mrs Kidd, and unprompted, she sent a cheque for £5,000
she was a permissible donor. I decided not to take up her donation."

- FCFFWAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/30/nbrown130.xml November
30, 2007). He gave no reason for refusing her donation even though she
was a permissible donor. Leslie thus denied giving harman the go-ahead
to accept a donation from kidd. "When the leadership election was
over, I was approached by members of Harriet Harman's campaign team asking
if I knew of any individuals who might donate to her deputy leadership
campaign. I passed them the details of Mrs Kidd as someone whose offer
of a donation we had not taken up."" (Robert Winnett `Labour

-
- Gordon Brown.
-
- Brown has placed himself above the sleaze proclaiming
he knew nothing. But his attempts to divorce himself from this scandal
have not gone well. Firstly, the scandal got close after mendelsohn had
been forced to admit he had known about these illegal payments for two
months. However, he also claimed he'd neglected to tell his leader. "Mr
Mendelsohn faced demands for his resignation after he admitted that he
had been aware of Mr Abrahams's secret donations, given via four associates,
since September. He did not tell Mr Brown, who said that he learned of
the situation only on Saturday." (Robert Winnett and Gordon Rayner

- CFFWAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/29/nbrown129.xml November
29, 2007).
-
- Secondly, the scandal came even closer when harriet harmon
claimed chris leslie, one of brown's close aides, had given him the name
of an abrahams' proxy. "But his attempt to stay above the growing
scandal suffered a serious blow as it emerged that a close aide recommended
one of Mr Abraham's proxies to Harriet Harman's deputy leadership team."
(Colin Brown `Brown aide in the frame as police are asked to investigate
donations' http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3209867.ece
November 30, 2007).
-
- Brown's claim that he knew abrahams only vaguely have
also been undermined. Firstly, abrahams has hinted he's had lots of meetings
with brown. "Mr Brown was drawn even further into the scandal after
Mr Abrahams suggested that he was close to the Prime Minister. When asked
by The Daily Telegraph how many times he had met Mr Brown, Mr Abrahams
said: "You don't remember how many times you've eaten porridge for
breakfast." Mr Brown has said it was "entirely possible"
he had met Mr Abrahams but did not recall any such meeting." (Robert
Winnett `Labour at war over party donations' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=45UNOP1EGVOU5Q
- FIQMFCFFWAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/30/nbrown130.xml
November 30, 2007).
-
- Secondly, it has been claimed brown met abrahams at a
dinner organized by the british board of deputies. "However, last
night it was reported that Mr Brown had met Mr Abrahams at a dinner for
the British Board of Deputies held last April. Mr Abrahams sat next to
Mr Mendelsohn." (Robert Winnett `Labour at war over party donations'

to aipac, america's biggest member of the jewish lobby.
-
- Lord Levy.
-
- Lord levy failed to realize abrahams was using intermediaries.
"Between January 2003 and November 2005, more than £150,000
was donated to the Labour party on behalf of Mr Abrahams by a secretary,
a builder, a lawyer and a lollipop lady. Through this period, Lord Levy
was Labour's fundraiser; Matt Carter and Lord Triesman, now a junior minister,
were Labour general secretaries and Jack Dromey and Jimmy Elsby were party
treasurers." (Alex Barker `Analysis: three lines of inquiry' http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/c8664a20-9fa7-11dc-8031-0000779fd2ac.html

-
- Tony Blair.
-
- Given blair's predilection for charming those with power
and money, is it feasible he didn't know the labour party's third biggest
donor was using intermediaries? If levy knew then it is more than likely
he would have told blair. "Labour MPs have said that their worst fear
is that the practice of using third party donors was so widespread under
Tony Blair that it went way beyond Mr Abrahams." (`Government declares
open war as Harman sticks the knife into Brown' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/new
- s.html?in_article_id=497554&in_page_id=1770 November
30, 2007). Jack straw pointed the finger at blair. "This was mind-blowing...
it's true this seems to go back for four years and frankly one of the reasons
why all of us are irritated to distraction is that we assumed these historic
problems had been sorted out following the so-called cash-for-honours issue.""
(quoted in James Chapman `Secret donor Abrahams: I told Brown's money man
about secret donations EIGHT months ago' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/

-
- The Minor Issues
-
- Abrahams' illegal payments to the labour party raise
a number of issues.
-
- Firstly, the labour party's failure to investigate where
£660,000 worth of donations came from. What is even more incredible
is that these secret donations continued to be made throughout the police
investigation into the so-called `cash for honours' scandal. Is it possible
that after the failure of this investigation that the labour party believed
it was untouchable and so made no effort to cover up abrahams' secret payments?
-
- Secondly, it is simply untenable that so few people within
the labour party knew abrahams was making illegal donations. How could
this be possible when three of abrahams' proxies were his employees? Abrahams'
deception might have succeeded if he'd been a howard hughes type recluse.
But not when he was continually mingling with labour's high fliers. "He
has been a frequent visitor to Labour conferences, rubbing shoulders with
a host of cabinet ministers including John Hutton, Hazel Blears and David
Miliband, whose constituency is South Shields. He is little known by any
of those he has met, but that will not lessen the fear in Westminster,
where this latest donations scandal is rapidly taking on a toxic quality."
(Colin Brown `The man behind Labour's troubles' http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3201560.ece
November 28, 2007). Abrahams was also given a highly prestigious, and highly
visible, front row seat at tony blair's farewell speech to his sedgefield
constituents. "Abrahams was in the front row when Tony Blair made
a speech in June in his former Sedgefield constituency, announcing his
decision to stand down." (Haroon Siddique `Profile: David Abrahams'
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/story/0,,2217783,00.html November
27, 2007). If he didn't obtain such a seat because of his substantial financial
donations then what had he done to deserve such a reward? It is simply
improbable that someone who was given such prominence at prestigious labour
party functions was not known as a major donor.
-
- Thirdly, how is it that gordon brown refused to accept
a donation from abrahams whilst harman did not?
-
- Fourthly, is it not a little bizarre that abrahams funded
both hiliary benn and harriet harman in the election contest for the post
of deputy leader of the labour party? Why would he do this? Only the jewish
lobby in america funds presidential candidates from both major political
parties in order to ensure they have a strong influence over the successful
candidate.
-
- The Quid Pro Quo
-
- The question that many journalists and politicians have
been asking is what did abrahams expect to gain from donating so much money
to the labour party? The initial answer was provided by haroon siddique
who pointed out that whilst abrahams was making these donations he enjoyed
the great good fortune of being given the go-ahead to develop a business
park alongside the A1. "It was reported that Abrahams' multimillion-pound
business park development at Bowburn in County Durham was initially blocked
by the Highways Agency because of a blanket ban on further development
beside the congested A1. But in October last year the agency lifted the
ban on the development, and a separate one near Newton Aycliffe further
south." (Haroon Siddique `Profile: David Abrahams' http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/story/0,,2217783,00.html
November 27, 2007).
-
- This didn't seem to satisfy the deputy political editor
of the independent newspaper who asked. "So what did he want in return
for £601,975? David Abrahams and his network of allies, now notorious
as Labour's "Friends in the North", systematically targeted Gordon
Brown and some of his most senior cabinet ministers, offering huge donations
by proxy to a cash-strapped party. Last night Labour Party MPs and officials
were asking themselves with some trepidation: why?" (Colin Brown `The
man behind Labour's troubles' http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article3201560.ece
November 28, 2007).
-
-
- The Silence of the Zionist-Loving British media over
the Role of Jewish Funding for the Labour Party's Jewish Policies
-
- Perhaps the main reason mainstream journalists have been
expressing bafflement about what abrahams wanted for his money was that
this has enabled them to avoid infringing on the taboo topics of jewish
cash for jewish policies; the influence of the jews-only state in palestine
over british foreign policies; and the explosive notion of british jews
acting traitorously against britain's national interests. The mainstream
media's coverage of this major political scandal has so far totally avoided
these jewish taboos.
-
- The mainstream media's portray of abrahams is that he
wasn't pursuing any political interests or agenda. "Mr Abrahams is
clearly an eccentric chap, because a professional political groupie can
hardly be anything else. One excuses 14-year-old girls who throw their
knickers at Robbie Williams on grounds of age and hormones. For a 51-year-old
(or 61; he seems uncertain on the point) to show this level of devotion
towards Labour ministers and apparatchiks is unquestionably weird, but
harmless for all that. Donating money through acquaintances is dodgy, of
course, but no more a genuine outrage than naively accepting it. Both may
be unlawful, but with no evidence (yet) that Mr Abrahams intended to buy
favours with his £600,000, it should be less major scandal than minor
curiosity." (Matthew Norman `For Gordon Brown, this really is terminal'
http://comment.independent.co.uk/commentators/matthew_norman/article3209843.ece
November 30, 2007).
-
- The mainstream media has been so intent on de-politicizing
abrahams that it hasn't even bothered to find out what abrahams' political
opinions are. Indeed, it has ended up portraying him as if he didn't have
any political opinions at all. He's characterized as just another mr.cashpoint
like lord levy and his successor jon mendelsohn dispensing money for no
other reason than the greater good of the labour party. But this analogy
works against the mainstream media because both of these jews used their
positions to promote the interests of the jews-only state. Mendelsohn's
colleagues at the jewish chronicle described him in the following way.
"At ease in the corridors of power, Mendelsohn has the contacts and
know-how to advance Israel's case in his Labour Friends of Israel role."
(`Sacks tops our list of the most inï¬,uential' http://www.thejc.com/home.aspx?ParentId=m11s18
- s186&SecId=186&AId=51977&ATypeId=1 April
27, 2007). There is, however, no evidence so far that abrahams tried to
get anything for his donations neither material rewards nor the labour
government's support for jewish policies in the greater middle east.
-
- What abrahams' views are might have become known if the
mainstream media investigated why jon mendlesohn ejected abrahams from
`labour friends of israel'. Had he been trying to promote likudnik policies
that were too extreme even for labour's jewish racists or were they too
moderate?
-
- The mainstream media is not merely avoiding jewish taboos
and downplaying abrahams' political views, it is even making an effort
to diminish the significance of this political scandal. Any objective observer
might feel that a criminal conspiracy between tony blair, gordon brown,
and lord levy, etc was a major political scandal. But increasingly, the
mainstream media is referring to this scandal as `dodgy donations'. These
donations weren't dodgy. They were illegal.
-
- In reporting and analyzing the abrahams' donations scandal,
the mainstream media is deliberately covering up the following realities
as if they are relevant to british politics.
- No mention that abrahams is a jew: he's just the son
of a russian immigrant.
- No mention of his political beliefs he's just a
cash dispenser, an eccentric groupie, or party lover.
- No mention of britain's jewish lobby using jewish cash
to bribe blair into implementing foreign policies for the benefit of the
jews-only state.
- No mention of the labour government's wholehearted support
for jewish racism in palestine and jewish supremacism in the middle east.
- No mention of the jewish lobby's support for world war
three.
-
- What the above suggests is that the british media is
either owned, managed, or run, by zionists i.e. by people who support jewish
racism and the jews-only state's lebensraum policies against palestinians.
More importantly, they are people who believe britain should embark upon
a third world war, no matter how catastrophic this would be for the country's
national interests, because it would promote jewish supremacism in the
greater middle east.
-
- Comparisons between the British Jewish Lobby and the
American Jewish Lobby
- The way the jewish lobby operates in america is completely
different from the way it operates in britain. In america there is a highly
conspicuous, highly formalized, jewish lobby which dominates congress and
exerts a significant degree of control over the bush regime. The jewish
lobby lays out its aim and objectives in gruesome detail, and even writes
the legislation which it expects its american minions to pass in congress.
-
- In britain, the jewish lobby is nowhere near as conspicuous.
It works behind closed doors and in the corridors of power where it leaves
behind no trace of its influence. As a consequence this enables the mainstream
media to suggest that an individual who gives two-thirds of a million pounds
to a political party has no political views and isn't pursuing a political
agenda. The power of the jewish lobby can be seen only on the geostrategic
level in blair's sacrifice of britain's national interests, its principles,
and its humanitarian ideals, to the interests of the jews-only state.
-
- Who's been protecting Abrahams?
-
- Another question which needs to be asked is whether david
triesmann, levy, and jon mendlesohn helped protect abrahams' illegal donations
because his funds were so critical for the survival of the blair government
and its continued promotion of jewish supremacism in the greater middle
east.
-
- What the Abrahams Scandal says about British Politics
-
- It is beyond question that there has been a close correlation
between jewish donations to the labour party and blair's total servility
to the jews-only state in palestine. But there is no evidence as to the
mechanism by which jewish cash was transformed into jewish policies. This
correlation cannot be deemed to be just a coincidence because blair's policies
ran counter firstly, to british strategic interests. Blair's invasions
of afghanistan and iraq have had a disastrous impact on britain's armed
forces, the country's economic well being and the country's global reputation.
An attack on iran would be even more detrimental to british interests.
Secondly, blair's policies ran counter to popular british political principles
such as anti-racism. Thirdly, to british humanitarian ideals given the
blair government's support for the jews' efforts to starve palestinians
into submission. And, fourthly, blair's policies ran counter to british
public opinion. Two million people went on mass marches against the invasion
of iraq and yet blair just ignored their democratic rights in order to
pay off his debts to his jewish donors by promoting jewish supremacism
in the middle east. It was sometime in 2003 that abrahams started funding
the labour party on a substantial scale.
-
- A financial times editorial rather surprisingly expressed
the view that british voters do not like sleaze in british politics and
do not like the idea of anyone acquiring undue influence. "It is crucial
to understanding that voters want to be sure no one is acquiring influence
secretly or unfairly. The failure to comprehend this is deeply disquieting,
especially in a party that not only passed a law improving the party funding
disclosure regime but still bears the scars of the cash-for-honours affair."
(`Funding firestorm' http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/12f1486a-9de1-11dc-9f68-0000779fd2ac.html
November 28 2007). This ft editor thus manages to piously condemn the influence
of this one man (without mentioning what this influence actually was) whilst
ignoring the colossal influence of the jewish lobby in britain.
-
- The critical political issue raised by the abrahams'
donations scandal is not just "dodgy donations". Nor is it merely
about sleaze in the labour government. Nor is it that labour leaders from
blair to levy to brown, were part of a criminal conspiracy to pretend that
abrahams was not using proxies.
-
- It is about the corruption of british politics by the
jewish lobby. The scandal reveals the vast amounts of jewish money being
lavished on the labour party. And although there is absolutely no evidence
as to what this money bought, the reality is that the labour government
indulges itself in such extreme pro-semitic bigotry that it runs counter
to britain's national interests, its political principles, its humanitarian
ideals and public opinion. The jewish lobby in britain has pressured the
government into wars in the greater middle east, especially an attack against
iran, which are not in britain's interests but are very much in the interests
of the jews-only state in palestine. The scandal also reveals the way the
mainstream media completely de-judaize any political situation, no matter
how damaging this might be to rooting out corruption and sleaze in the
country's political system, in order to protect the interests of the country's
jewish elite. As regards abrahams, justice has not merely got to be done
but be seen to be done.
