The Guardian Protects Gould-Werritty 603

 in Uncategorized by

The planned scenario for a war with Iran is playing out before our eyes at frightening speed now. Unfortunately. as I have frequently said, Iran has a regime that is not only thuggish but controlled by theocratic nutters: the attack on the British Embassy played perfectly into the hands of the neo-cons. William Hague is smirking like the cat who got the cream.

The importance of the Fox-Gould-Werritty scandal is that it lifts the lid on the fact that the move to war with Iran is not a reaction to any street attack or any nuclear agency report. It is a long nurtured plan, designed to keep feeding the huge military industrial war machine that has become a huge part of the UK and US economies, and whose sucking up of trillions of dollars has contributed massively to the financial crisis, and which forms a keystone in the whole South Sea Bubble corporate finance system for servicing the ultra-rich. They need constant, regenerative war. They feed on the shattered bodies of small children.

Gould, Fox and Werritty were plotting with Israel to further war with Iran over years. The Werritty scandal was hushed up by Gus O’Donnell’s risibly meagre “investigation” – a blatant cover-up – and Fox resigned precisely to put a cap on any further digging into what they had been doing. I discovered – with a lot of determination and a modicum of effort – that Fox, Werritty and British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould had met many times, not the twice that Gus O’Donnell claimed, and had been in direct contact with Mossad over plans to attack Iran. Eventually the Independent published it, a fortnight after it went viral on the blogosphere.

The resignation of the Defence Secretary in a scandal is a huge political event. People still talk of the Profumo scandal 50 years later. But Fox’s resignation was forgotten by the media within a fortnight, even though it is now proven that the Gus O’Donell official investigation into the affair was a tissue of lies.

Take only these undisputed facts:

Fox Gould and Werritty met at least five times more than the twice the official investigation claims
The government refuses to say how often Gould and Werritty met without Fox
The government refuses to release the Gould-Werritty correspondence
The three met with Mossad

How can that not be a news story? I spent the most frustrating fortnight of my life trying to get a newspaper – any newspaper – to publish even these bare facts. I concentrated my efforts on the Guardian.

I sent all my research, and all the evidence for it, in numeorus emails to the Guardian, including to David Leigh, Richard Norton-Taylor, Rupert Neate and Seumas Milne. I spoke to the first three, several times. I found a complete resistance to publishing anything on all those hidden Fox/Werritty/Gould meetings, or what they tell us about neo-con links with Israel.

Why? Guardian Media Group has a relationship with an Israel investment company, Apax, but the Guardian strongly denies that this has any effect on them.

The Guardian to this day has not published the fact that there were more Fox-Gould-Werritty meetings than O’Donnell disclosed. Why?

I contacted the Guardian to tell them I intended to publish this article, and invited them to give a statement. Here it is, From David Leigh, Associate Editor:

I hope your blogpost will carry the following response in full.

1. I know nothing of any Israeli stake in the ownership of the Guardian. As it is owned by the Scott Trust, not any Israelis, your suggestion sems a bit mad.

2. The Guardian has not “refused” to publish any information supplied by you. On the contrary, I personally have been spending my time looking into it, as I told you previously. I have no idea what the attitude of others in “the Guardian” is. I form my own opinions about what is worth publishing, and don’t take dictation from others. That includes you.

3. I can’t imagine what you are hinting at in your reference to Assange. If you’ve got a conspiracy theory, why don’t you spit it out?

I can understand your frustration, Craig, when others don’t join up the dots in the same way as you. But please try not to be offensive, defamatory, or plain daft about it.

As I said, it would be honest of you to publish my response in full if you want to go ahead with these unwarranted attacks on the Guardian’s integrity.

Possible some Guardian readers will get drawn to this post: at least then they will find out that Werritty, Fox and Gould held many more meetings, hushed up by O’Donnell and hushed up by the Guardian.

It should not be forgotten that the Guardian never stopped supporting Blair and New Labour, even when he was presiding over illegal wars and the massive widening of the gap between rich and poor. My point about Assange is that he has done a great deal to undermine the neo-con war agenda – and the Guardian is subjecting him to a campaign of denigration. On the other hand Gould/Fox/Werritty were pushing a neo-con project for war – and the Guardian is actively complicit in the cover-up of their activities.

The Guardian. Whom does it serve?

    Lets face it all these hundreds of thousands and million of these angels in their godliness ain’t going to change a fuckin thing except for someone like Craig Murray – investigating it and writing it all down and publicising it and exposing it and presenting all the facts, detail and information…

    And THEY Respond, O.K. – Maybe we will put off us doing World War III till after Christmas…

    We will maybe do it sometime Next Year

    Thank You Craig

    OT (or is it?):
    A bomb has just exploded outside the British Embassy in Bahrain.

    “A military court in Bahrain, meanwhile, has sentenced three sportsmen to one year in prison for taking part in pro-democracy protests that the Gulf Arab state crushed earlier this year, a lawyer said.

    The three, all members of Bahrain’s majority Shia community, are bodybuilder Tareq al-Fursani, a gold medallist in several Asian championships, Ali Said, a goalkeeper in the national soccer team, and Mohammed Hassan al-Dirazi, a member of the national basketball team, said lawyer Mohsen al-Alawi, who was in court when the verdicts were read today.

    The men, who are not in detention and can appeal against their convictions, were tried in a military court because they are employees of the Bahrain defence forces. They were found guilty of illegal congregation, inciting hatred for the system, and not obeying orders regarding involvement in politics.

    Inspired by revolts in Tunisia and Egypt, thousands of Bahrainis took to the streets in February and March to demand an end to control of the government by the al Khalifa family.

    The government, which hosts the US Fifth Fleet, said the protests were driven by Shia sectarian motives and fomented by Shia power Iran. Iran denied involvement.”

    They don’t care for the consequences as we do. The peasants will do the fighting and dying in the disturbing belief they are fighting for something. I have long said this was brought to the table long ago. if more of us achieved a self sustainable level of intelligence they would never get away with it.

    I knew Fox was a dick. When he met Shimon Peres in Israel he done everything to show his full support and let them know he was their top boy in the conservatives. Dr. Fox, seriously, this asshole got the job for a reason.

    It does not matter what the Israeli attack plan is, or how many times they change it. The fallout matters and the almost guaranteed response. The west will know real terrorism. it shall not be confined to areas they wish it to be.

    I agree that we are getting closer to an event. I expect the Russians to do what they need to do. I hope I am right, I hope I did the right thing.

    “It’s amusing to see that you also put Britain at top-billing in the Satanic League as is in line with the doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
    .
    ‘Satanic League’ – your words Angry. – Britain spent about £20 million of tax-payers money inside Iran to prop up a colorful-hollow revolution following the Iranian presidential elections. The so called ‘twitter revolution’ was well organised with funding to MKO and other dissidents and a propaganda team here in Britain worked with their American counterparts to conjure media exposure including YouTube videos. Seymour Hersh exposed such similar funding some fours ago.
    .
    Taking advantage of the ‘Arab Spring’ and Turkey’s need for American arms to fight the Kurds and her commitment to NATO, Britain and America planned a similar uprising in Libya Syria; again Western attempts at regime change have been exposed.
    .
    Exposure seems to be de rigeur – we have voted in a nasty, inhumane, surveillance seeking, pension pilfering, sick snuffling, war-mongering, zionist zealot, employment eradicating and Trilateral trojan type government whose leader agent Cameron was exposed by me and others on the now defunct blog WebCameron as a puppet and Blair-DNA parasite with little regard for ordinary British people. (The WebCameron attempt at showing agent Cameron as Mr Family Man washing the dishes was aborted)
    .
    So yes Angry – no quite Satantic – more like ‘Opération Satanique’ against true British warriors.

    Anything to do with Yates of the Yard having been appointed to ‘reform’ their police? And having expressed admiration of their King?
    .
    “I have been impressed that the King is doing the right thing by pressing on with big reforms,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
    Saeed Shahabi, a campaigner with the Bahrain Freedom Movement, said the appointments did not prove the government was serious about reform. “This is not the first time that foreigners have come from the West to upgrade the security services,” he said. “The government cannot survive without suppressing freedom of expression only a democracy can tolerate protests.”

    On December 2, 2011, Al-Akhbar English published a research piece by American Jewish author, writer and blogger, Max Blumenthal. In the article, entitled ‘From Occupation to Occupy: Israelification of American Domestic Security’ – Max claims that the high-handed tactics used by American security forces against the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement and American Muslims, were taught to them by Israel Occupation Force (IOF) officers.

    Rob.
    “Alas, Hamas has carried out terrorist attacks – as has the IDF. Being a democratically elected government and a terrorist organization are not mutually exclusive, unfortunately, otherwise we’d have to disqualify the US and British for starters, as well as many others (Israeli, obviously). The question is which terrorist attacks are acceptable, and which are unacceptable – depends on your viewpoint.”
    Hamas has a political wing which won the Palestinian election in 2006 and does not carry out terrorist attacks. It has a military wing (Izz ad-din al-Qassam Brigades) which carries out terrorist activity against Israel. Both the political wing and military of Hamas are declared terrorist organizations by the US and Israel.
    Fatah, on the other hand, although also having a political wing (lead by Mahmoud Abbas), have a military wing called the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade which carries out terrorist activity. However, unlike Hamas, Fatah is not regarded as a terrorist organization; only their military wing. Why the difference?

    Mark Golding – Children Of Iraq,
    It is so refreshing to come across someone who has made his business to research and find out the facts. Your points on the Iranian Elections whilst holding valid, are not widely known. The fact that ever since 2002 in Dubai the yearly anti Iran conference, paid for by Soros funded foundation for democracy in Iran (CIA has a long tradition of Billionaires support structures in the old days it was Howard Hughes) was winning and dining the “dissidents” in the best Dubai hotels, and setting up the scene for the “colour revolution” so successfully implemented in the former soviet regions come republics.
    ,
    The attention to detail was phenomenal, down to the green ribbons prepared to the specifications and shipped out from China to the warehouses in Dubai, and ready for dispatch to Iran, along with all manner of “Green” artefacts; coats, bandannas, face paint, bracelets, etc.
    ,
    The coordination went so far as having John Simpson the liberator of Kabul on the ground in Tehran for covering the campaign of “Mousavi” whose wife was pushed to the front row for the benefit of the Western audiences, along with the mandatory “Face Book” pages for the lady whom was given the title of the “1st Lady”.
    ,
    Alas not many people make it their business to think for themselves, despite the dormant market conditions for “one careful owner hardly ever used brains”.
    ,
    Also did you notice the nice little negative association of the report on the numbers of the honour killings totalling some three thousands in UK, which was prepared by the “Kurdish, and Iranian Women Association” for the benefit of the news cameras? The subliminal linkage of “animalistic, barbaric, nasty Iranians”, whilst in reality this kind of crime is not an Iranian issue and it is mostly associated with other parts of the world. In fact anyone watching “Geordie Shore” on MTV would have realised that one of the more lively characters was the daughter of an Iranian, and her promiscuous behaviour was started by her declaration of ; “now you will see the year of the slut”. Needless to point out she is still alive and trying to keep the up the decade of the slut if she can help it, but hey what facts have to do with the stories for the benefit of mass murder?

    Actually it was prepared by the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation (Ikwro) and was compiled from the records of police forces around the UK. I see nothing wrong with that report. I think you are trying to read something into it that is not there,I have not seen anyone blaming Iranians for honour killings at all.

    Thank-you Fedup – and Guest for Steve James’s WSWS piece which holds true to information of Libyan exiled fighters I am privileged to be told information of, third hand, from an ex SAS UK security firm contractor working out of Dubai and paid £4000/month tax free + expenses to train these fighters. Private British security firms such as ArmorGroup/Aegis and many more are the best in the world for close protection and assassination ‘security’ services.
