David Aaaronovitch’s new “conspiracy debunking” book Voodoo Histories is getting an extraordinary level of boosting by the mainstream media. Here are a few highlights from this masterly exposition:
– No government has ever done anything nasty to any of its citizens, ever, unless they were Socialists (including National Socialists) or Islamists. All other government is entirely open and secretive acts do not occur.
– All official inquiries, commissions and judicial investigations in history have been composed of entirely honourable people with no agenda to serve political masters and inspired only by a pure devotion to unalloyed truth
– There was no conspiracy to lie about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powell did not lie and show fake photos to the Security Council. Tony Blair did not lie to Parliament. George Bush did not lie to the American public. Nobody was waterboarded into confessing to the Al-Qaida/Iraq link. The dodgy dossier on weapons of mass destruction was a figment of the imagination of socialists/Islamists/other mad people, and anyway it was all true except they have hid the WMD, so there.
– The Zinoviev letter, Roger Casement’s diaries and the Jacobite order to massacre all prisoners if they won Culloden, were all quite genuine just like the government said.
– There was no St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.
– The US had no part in the overthrow of Allende.
– Patrice Lumumba just went away on holiday.
– There was no conspiracy to kill JFK, or if there was, it was the Socialists
– Anybody who ever takes a different view on any of the above is a dangerous lunatic whose views on no subject at all need to be taken seriously.
– Belief in the official narrative is the definition of sanity.
– To defend the official narrative, the establishment needs to employ fat ugly propagandists with greasy hair and incredibly bad complexions.
Oh look, so they do.
Anyway, now I’ve saved you the trouble of reading it, you can buy Murder in Samarkand and The Catholic Orangemen of Togo instead.
I’v enot read Aaronovitch’s book but i’ve read enuff of his “columns”-whilst nearly vomiting-to know the cut of his gib and i don’t like him one little bit or the grotesque lies he peddles.
Andrew Marr? Just another blind mutant spook lackey spinning the NeoCon dollar nicely into his own frayed tweedy pockets.
All apologies and due respect to blind mutants,natch…

Give a management summary, after you stick your fingers into the electricity outlet socket to find out for yourself the facts about electrocution too.
Easier still stick your fingers in the toaster to find out for yourself a lot more quicker.
This fat git Aaronovitch, was the same pro war, cheer leader for mass murder, whilst Blair was chucking around his Kaleidoscope. This fact alone ought to be enough for this specimen to face the charges of facilitating the murder of one and one half of one million Iraqis, but hey, his name is not Demjanjuk is it?
Instead the fat git gets to publish a “book”, that is apprently soon to be accompanied by a legislation and its reading to become mandatory for all school children whom ought to read and believe it too!
Fact that he has nothing of any value to add, other than to parrot the lines emailed to him from Tel Aviv, not being enough grounds to dismiss the lickspittle whose head is so far up that he cannot see so much as day light never mind any hints of any truths about any kind of reality. You only need to listen to any news program, and or the numerous Israeli spokesthingies to hear this gushing Zionists “wisdom”.
Oh, there again we are suppose to buy into the pseudo liberal crap of giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, even if it is for the one thousand, two hundred, and fifty third time!
Then there can be no dangers of any misconstruction I suppose for sure, although whilst the fat git has collected another royalty or is that loyalty fee for his troubles of sucking up for the supremacists cause so hard.
David Aaaronovitch is a mercenary for anglosaxon piracy the world over-jews getting a few crumbs on condition that they su[pport this loot.
there is one place I would like americans to attack.
but it won’t happen because two thieves-london and usa-are in this together.

A Lot of Our Money Is Buried in the Cayman Islands — Let’s Get It Back
By David Cay Johnston, The Nation. Posted May 16, 2009.
Obama and Congress must get tougher on offshore tax cheats — prosecute them as criminals and require full payment.
The Cayman Islands are well known to those seeking sun, sand and sea–and for their hospitality to US corporations seeking to escape taxes, launder money and use other discreet financial services. The islands’ tax dodgers help multinational corporations move jobs offshore; they also give aid and comfort to terrorists, drug dealers and divorcing spouses trying to hide money. Honest taxpayers have to make up for the revenues lost through this offshore cheating in three ways: we pay more in taxes, we get fewer government services and we incur rising government debt. Interest on that debt, which doubled under the Bush administration, now equals all the individual income taxes paid from New Year’s to around June 10. And that cost means less government investment in research, education and the infrastructure on which commerce depends. Untaxed money hiding in the Caymans and other tax havens means the rest of us pay a higher price for less civilization.
In short, the Caymans, and other tax havens, are parasites that weaken the United States and other developed nations.
President Obama proposed on May 4 to crack down on offshore tax cheating; that proposal does not go nearly far enough. Instead of settling for a dime on the dollar, as Obama’s plan would do, let’s get serious about offshore tax cheating, both legalized and criminal. Let’s do what we did to halt the imagined threats of communists in Grenada, depose a drug-dealing president in Panama and find those imaginary weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Let’s invade the Caymans!
The islands, which belong to Britain, have no military and just 300 or so police. An invasion force composed of tax lawyers, forensic auditors and a handful of computer technicians could execute a hostile takeover without firing a shot.
The Caymans are not really a country; they are a law firm p
