I was told by a member of the Metropolitan Police Operation Lydd team that they believe there are grounds to prosecute Jack Straw, but that the Crown Prosecution Service will bury it. That was over two years ago when I gave my own sworn evidence to the investigation.
That cover-up by the CPS is now underway – and it is extremely unsubtle. The mainstream media barely reported that the first file has been passed to the CPS on Operation Lydd. You would think that a massive police investigation into criminal activity by Jack Straw and Sir Mark Allen, among others, would merit more of a splash, but not in our corporate controlled media. The timing was auspicious because, in the parallel civil case, the Court of Appeal has rejected the Government’s defence of “National Security” to prevent the case from even being heard. This after Jack Straw and Sir Mark Allen arranged the kidnap and deportation to torture in Libya of Mr Belhadj, his pregnant wife and children – only one of hundreds of such crimes in which the British state was deeply involved.
Infamously, the British Embassy in Washington had been lobbying the US authorities relentlessly to prevent the publication of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on extraordinary rendition, specifically on the grounds that this would weaken Jack Straw’s defence. That defence rests on the grounds that details of kidnap and torture would annoy the United States and thus damage Britain’s security interests. As a blanket license for state involvement in torture, it only takes a second’s thought to realise how astonishingly dangerous that doctrine is. The High Court swallowed it. Thank God, the Court of Appeal did not.
So the Courts having ruled against Jack Straw, there are now two lines of defence between Straw and Sir Mark Allen, and a long spell in the pokey. The first is that the Government is appealing to the Supreme Court in London to have the case kicked out once again on “National Security” grounds. The second line of defence is the Crown Prosecution Service.
I can give you very substantial evidence that a cover-up is in progress within the CPS. Astonishingly the Lydd file has been passed within the CPS not to the serious crime division, but to the Counter-Terrorism Division. Yet terrorism is not the alleged crime here. The crimes are Gross Misconduct in Public Office, Conspiracy to Torture, Conspiracy to Kidnap and Abduct. We might relate them rhetorically to terrorism, but they are not that legally.
The incredible truth is that the file has been passed not to the Division which deals with the crimes allegedly committed by the perpetrators, Messrs Straw, Allen et al. It has rather been passed to the Divison which deals with the crime falsely alleged against the VICTIM of the case, Mr Belhadj. That simple fact tells you all you need to know about the attitude of the CPS to Operation Lydd.
In fact, the Counter-Terrorism Division of CPS works on a daily basis with public servants and security service functionaries who are themselves deeply implicated in the crimes being uncovered by Operation Lydd. A cover-up is certain.
The British Establishment really does stink.
Footnote: I phoned the CPS Press Office to give them a chance to respond. I got through to a spokesperson and left details and my number. They have not come back to me.

[JG]: “ Were he still alive Stephen Knight, who wrote The Brotherhood, would not agree with you. Neither would Walton Hannah, who wrote Darkness Visible. The first comes at the problem from a secular point of view. The second from a religious point of view.”
[JSD]: I just set out on this blog the obligations of a Freemason. I don’t particularly care whether you believe me or not; nor do I care whether Stephen Knight, whom I know all about, or Walton Hannah, whoever he is, agrees with me or not.
[JG]: “The higher up the masonic cult one gets the more satanic it becomes. Take the jewel of a Chaplain which once had Holy Bible written inside the triangle but at the same time the Grand Chaplain’s jewel had an open book with nothing written in it. The United Grand Lodge of England has two, let’s call them angels, stood either side of the ark of the covenant which sits on top of a coat of arms. The inside wings of the ‘angels’ point towards the sky and to all intents and purposes their upper bodies are human. But from the thighs down they resemble the cloven legs of goats, like Pan, fauns and satyrs.”
[JSD]: Freemasons, as Freemasons, are explicitly prohibited from discussing either religion or politics with each other. That is made very clear to all potential candidates. The reason for it is to avoid strife and disharmony among members.
[JG]: “Of course it would depend on whether you held religious beliefs or not as to whether you would be offended by this, but the whole masonic cult is anti-Christian and sets up, Hiram Abiff, a stonemason at the Temple of Solomon, as its Christ figure.”
[JSD]: No it isn’t, and no, it doesn’t.
[JG]: “A friend, dead now, once told me how as a boy he had gone along to a lodge, not when there was a meeting, with someone from his family and wanted to go into the lodge. “Mind the goat doesn’t get you” was the sentence used to put him off.”
[JSD]: So what? As far as I am aware, there are no goats present at meetings of Masons. Perhaps it was a jest.
Kind regards,
John
John Spencer-Davis, I already read that last comment. Yesterday I had a comment waiting moderation too.
Are you telling me that Freemasons know all about the cult before they join? Have things progressed that much. I don’t think so. At the lodge local to me they have not even got a decent pint. If you are former pop-star I enjoyed “When a man loves a woman”. Thanks.

“This illegal construction and habitation is theft, it is annexation, it is a land grab – it is any expression that accurately describes the encroachment which takes from someone else something that is not rightfully owned by the taker. As such it should be called what it is, and not by some euphemistic soft alternative.
“Settlements are illegal colonies built in someone else’s country. They are an act of theft, and what is more something which is both initiated and supported by the state of Israel.”
JSD, as to your comments, we could be discussing them forever. Especially “No it isn’t, and no, it doesn’t.” I could respond “Yes it is, and yes, it does”. And somebody could chip in with “He’s behind you” until the end of the pantomime.
The blog-post is actually about how Jack Straw’s culpability in torture. Call me cynical but the truth will never come out, and the truth will never come out because secret services and secret societies, and governments that can call on their favours, will prevent it. By that I don’t mean people at your local lodge. If you look at nearly all western governments they are controlled by secret cliques. It was ever so. There were a majority of freemasons in the Kerensky government of 1917 (including Kerensky). Freemasonry is based on the Jewish Kaballa, the mystical side of Judaism and the very basis for Zionism. Surely you would not disagree with that?
“The blog-post is actually about how Jack Straw’s culpability in torture.” That should have read: “The blog-post is actually about Jack Straw’s culpability in torture and how this is being covered up.” Apols.
As this thread has been tumbled by our pets again and nobody really wants to talk about judges who are Freemasons, I feel no compulsion to stay on cue.
German opportunists neo Nazis are cooperating with football hooligans to fight Salafists on the streets of Cologne.
Authorities are ‘wondering’ why this could not have been foreseen.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/new-right-wing-alliance-of-neo-nazis-and-hooligans-appears-in-germany-a-1000953.html
Well In Germany, just as here and in Greece, neo Nazis, due to their adherence to German values, get given the benefit of the doubt, whether its at trials of neo nazis, demonstrations, or in my young days, when they stopped us from interfering with neo Nazis right to assembly.
The German police and State is complicit, thats why there is delayed actions. Neo Nazi’s have always managed to use channels within high finance and industry to bend the rules, it is insipid and I abhor the debate to come about Ukraines neo Nazi’s joining all the other right wing groups in Europe.
The right in Europe is well organised and, in the case of Germany and Britain, has links with Israel’s fascists, who so eagerly except the free submarines and other guilt presents from the German taxpayer, still.
The west is turning black/brown, its a democratic move, you can choose the colour, but oh boy, try changing the consistent course towards another cold/hot war and you are a terrorist, against the system.
bring on the work houses and concentration camps, so you can stop us from speaking up.

Counter-Intelligence: Spying Deters Democracy
Part 1: Interview with Filmmaker Scott Noble
by Kim Petersen / July 7th, 2014
Scott Noble is an extraordinarily productive filmmaker who has built up an impressive treasure trove of documentaries at Metanoia Films. The films deal with topics such as the plutocracy’s determination to entrench and maintain its power and wealth through myriad means — among them psychological ops, black ops, propaganda, disinformation, and more. Last year, after watching Counter-Intelligence which relates how the tentacles of espionage agencies have permeated governments and societies, domestically and abroad, I began an email interview exchange with Noble to flesh out further points raised in the film.
Kim Petersen: What was your goal in making Counter-Intelligence?
Scott Noble: My basic goal was to help people understand intelligence agencies and the techniques they use to advance policy. Most documentaries dealing with e.g. the CIA attempt to prove or disprove a particular theory about a controversial event. There is little in the way of structural analysis. In making the film I set out to explore how these agencies function in the real world. How do they keep secrets? What are some common m.o.’s? What is their ultimate purpose? In a broader sense I wanted to ask whether democracy is even possible when organizations like the CIA exist. We are currently living under a hybrid of plutocracy (from plouto, “wealth”) and cryptocracy (from krypton, “hidden”) that benefits about 1 percent of the human population. It’s no secret we’re ruled by the rich, but there is a relative lack of understanding about just how much information is kept hidden from the public. A 2004 study by Peter Galison at Harvard concluded that “the classified universe is certainly not smaller, and very probably much larger than this unclassified one.”

Wonderful. Moazzam Begg springs immediately to mind. I feel really safe now.
Sorry, meant to make the link clickable above for viewing Scott Noble’s documentary Counter Intelligence, but forgot the http bit. It’s well worth a watch if you want to learn more about the Deep State, propaganda and psychological warfare, the Strategy of Tension (Operation Gladio) etc. Here is a clickable link: http://metanoia-films.org/counter-intelligence/
I would think the civil case has a better chance of succeeding. THe Court of Appeal was pretty unambiguous. If so, criminal proceedings will be harder to avoid:

@Nevermind: Given the fact that just being “labelled” as a ter-rist now brings about International condemnation, falsely labelling someone as a ter-rist should become an International crime… as a matter of urgency. Actually, this should have happened years ago, after the “War on Terror” was first announced.

Nevermind, do you never think a little before you gush forth?
It could be argued that it was you yourself who first took this thread off topic. I refer you to your post at 15h52 two days ago:

But I should say that the thread was definitively steered off topic by our friend Tony M at 20h01 also two days ago when he introduced what is presumably one of his little obsessions:
“It has long been more than rumoured but attested to that masonic influence is widespread through the CPS and especially so amongst the Scottish equivalent Procurator Fiscals’ offices, prosecution lawyers and defence lawyers too and senior police officers also, all working to agendas more important than their public duties, and protecting one another.”
Since then this thread has been all over the place, entirely as a consequence of the inability of (as another poster said) Craig’s friends to control themselves.
Nothing to do with me, dummy.
Finally, there is no point you complaining that no one wants to talk about judges who are freemasons when that issue is itself off-topic.

Internet trolls should get web ban, MPs hear
John Mann has suffered online abuse himself
Internet trolls face longer sentences
MP wants action over Twitter abuse
Online trolls who bully and harass people should be banned from the internet, MPs have heard.
Labour MP John Mann said perpetrators should get a form of social media Anti-social Behaviour Order (Asbo).
He also accused internet companies of not doing enough to combat the problem.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has previously said that internet trolls could face up to two years in jail under new proposed laws.
‘Bullied and intimidated’
“If we can ban people from going to a certain pub or certain football match… then the same should be done to specific parts of social media or, if necessary, to the internet as a whole,” Mr Mann told the Commons.
He also said that a system which allows MPs to contact the police at a senior level “immediately” in the event of abuse or harassment should also work for anybody who is “bullied, intimidated and criminally harassed”.
In response, justice minister Shailesh Vara said the government was “working and engaging with social media platforms, with the police and with other stakeholders with a view to try and improve the position”.
Mr Mann, who has suffered online abuse himself, has recently been outspoken about the online abuse of fellow Labour MP Luciana Berger.

Yes, that is part of what might be called the Crown Prosecution Service’s mission statement.
I wonder where you’re coming from on this, why you should find it so funny and what point (assuming there is a point) you’re trying to make.
More specifically:
1/. What is your objection to that part of the CPS’s mission statement?
2/. Would you prefer a return to the old system where it lay with the police to decide whether to bring prosecutions?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And just to repeat what I said yesterday: the CPS website contains a register of directors’ outside interests, hospitality received and business expenses incurred, thus demonstrating the CPS’s commitment to openness and transparency.
Do you find that worth a “LOL” as well, Mary?
And will Jack Straw call his erstwhile MI/CIA asset, Musa Kusa, to give evidence against the tortured Mr Belhadj?
This chap, forgive if somebody already linked him, is very well informed and has written a few substantial books on repression here.
http://www.andyworthington.co.uk/2014/11/02/uk-appeals-court-rules-abdel-hakim-belhaj-rendered-to-torture-in-gaddafis-libya-can-sue-british-government/
Moreover, where is Musa Kusa now?
com/features/former-libyan-prime-minister-musa-kusa-returns-to-tripoli/
According to this short note he is in Tripoli, mongering, after deserting his sunny Quatari beach bum resort.
Musa Kusa must be called to give evidence, if he stays alive having played many sides off against each other, he should also be on trial.
Now can we expect anything from the so called Liberty campaigners who failed to engage in so many cases? Here is a verbatim copy of a fluff piece in the Independent magazine, as to what Ms., as soft as Shami leather, Chakrabarti would do should she be in power for a week.
Q: You have a week in power, what would you do?
S.C.: A week is not a long time, I don’t think I’d be legislating. I would certainly tell people about the importance of rights and freedoms. I would try to be a bit more honest with people ( where was honesty up to now?) about the limits of what politicians can achieve by tough talk and tough legislation. (as if we don’t know)
I think I’d like to do a bit more listening and a bit less legislating. Then I might just learn something not just for my brief period in power, but for the people in power after me.(nonsensical, how can your learning process be influencing others without legislation?)
The question begs. What would you/Craig do if you/he had a week in power?
Ludicrously off-topic: (although since the original topic was government cover-ups, perhaps not.)
All those who have long harboured the suspicion that we should be burning an effigy of James I every year, instead of Guido Fawkes, are directed to my blog to have the hypothesis confirmed.

In case the above was meant for my ears, then please feel free to refer your complaints to the police and the Crown Prosecution service. They will have fun comparing my posts with yours over the last couple of years.
While you’re at it, perhaps you should also refer the post of a couple of days ago which included the expression “bugger Brittan*” to the police and the CPS – before someone else refers it to Lord Brittan’s solicitors. I’ll give you the author and the precise place and time of that post in due course.

Thanks for the great video link Silvio, shall peruse it later.
@ Ba’al, I concur, the civil case might be more fruitful, whichever way Straw is leaving Parliament soon, he says, joining Musa Kusa in the sun.
@ peacewisher, bang on, calling someone a terrorist is like calling him a murderer, but all we have is a strenuous libel law used by rich criminals to pepper each other with.
The exact reference is “Brittan’s buggery” and it appears on the “The racist concept of Israel” thread at 1.20am on 2 November 2014. The author was “Tony M”.
17 posts within as many hours!
@ Mary, thanks for making it clear that CYBER BULLIES/TROLLS HAVE NO FUTURE online and should be educated with abstinence from the internet, by learning how not to impose their bullying tactics, and if they are paid by third parties to do so, they should be fined instantly, just like a parking/littering fine, just higher as it is personal.
make it expensive to bully people online I say.
Such legislation would be well received by voters next year, especially young voters.
The bit Mary left out at 11.30:
“The issue of internet trolls recently came to the fore after online rape threats were made against the daughter of TV presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.”
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-29909981
That’s the kind of “bullying” they’re talking about Mary.
“Parliament is considering tougher penalties for internet trolls with those found guilty of making violent threats over the web liable to a maximum two-year jail sentence, under new legislation currently in the House of Lords.” (emphasis mine)
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-29909981
Questioning you over your political views, or asking you to account for something you’ve written (or copy and pasted) doesn’t quite qualify, Mary. So stop exaggerating.
Dreoilin
Good morning to you!
She knows that very well, Dreoilin, this is just another of the little ploys she uses.
Interesting that someone who waxes indignant about intimidation should not be above trying on a little intimidation all of her own.
But, as I said, she should take action – if nothing else that would flush her out, alongside several others on here.
++++++++++++++
Any thoughts about Tony M’s post on “Brittan’s buggery”?
@ Dreolin, its not just that one particular case of a celebrity’s daughter as you make out, there are thousands of kids being bullied with nasty language. They are depressed and at risk of self harming and suicide.
