UPDATE
Minutes after I posted this article, the ludicrous Jess Phillips published an article in the Guardian which could not have been better designed to prove my thesis. A number of people have posted comments on the Guardian article pointing this out, and they have all been immediately deleted by the Guardian. I just tried it myself and was also deleted. I should be grateful if readers could now also try posting comments there, in order to make a point about censorship on the Guardian.
Catching up on a fortnight’s news, I have spent five hours searching in vain for criticism of Simon Danczuk from prominent or even just declared feminists. The Guardian was the obvious place to start, but while they had two articles by feminist writers condemning Chris Gayle’s clumsy attempt to chat up a presenter, their legion of feminist columnists were entirely silent on Danczuk. The only opinion piece was strongly defending him.
This is very peculiar. The allegation against Danczuk which is under police investigation – of initiating sex with a sleeping woman – is identical to the worst interpretation of the worst accusation against Julian Assange. The Assange allegation brought literally hundreds, probably thousands of condemnatory articles from feminist writers across the entire range of the mainstream media. I have dug up 57 in the Guardian alone with a simple and far from exhaustive search. In the case of Danczuk I can find nothing, zilch, nada. Not a single feminist peep.
The Assange case is not isolated. Tommy Sheridan has been pursuing a lone legal battle against the Murdoch empire for a decade, some of it in prison when the judicial system decided his “perjury” was imprisonable but Andy Coulson’s admitted perjury on the Murdoch side in the same case was not. I personally witnessed in court in Edinburgh last month Tommy Sheridan, with no lawyer (he has no money) arguing against a seven man Murdoch legal team including three QCs, that a letter from the husband of Jackie Bird of BBC Scotland should be admitted in evidence. Bird was working for Murdoch and suggested in his letter that a witness should be “got out of the country” to avoid giving evidence. The bias exhibited by the leading judge I found astonishing beyond belief. I was the only media in the court.
Yet even though the Murdoch allegations against Sheridan were of consensual sexual conduct, Sheridan’s fight against Murdoch has been undermined from the start by the massive and concerted attack he has faced from the forces of feminism. Just as the vital messages WikiLeaks and Assange have put out about war crimes, corruption and the relentless state attack on civil liberties have been undermined by the concerted feminist campaign promoting the self-evidently ludicrous claims of sexual offence against Assange.
As soon as the radical left pose the slightest threat to the neo-con establishment, an army of feminists can be relied upon to run a concerted campaign to undermine any progress the left wing might make. The attack on Jeremy Corbyn over the makeup of his shadow cabinet was a classic example. It is the first ever gender equal shadow cabinet, but the entire media for a 96 hour period last September ran headline news that the lack of women in the “top” posts was anti-feminist. Every feminist commentator in the UK piled in.
Among the obvious dishonesties of this campaign was the fact that Defence, Chancellor, Foreign Affairs and Home Secretary have always been considered the “great offices of State” and the argument only could be made by simply ignoring Defence. The other great irony was the “feminist” attack was led by Blairites like Harman and Cooper, and failed to address the fact that Blair had NO women in any of these posts for a full ten years as Prime Minister.
But facts did not matter in deploying the organised feminist lobby against Corbyn.
Which is why it is an important test to see what the feminists, both inside and outside the Labour Party, would do when the leading anti-Corbyn rent-a-gob, Simon Danczuk, was alleged to have some attitudes to women that seem very dubious indeed, including forcing an ex-wife into non-consensual s&m and that rape allegation.
And the answer is …nothing. Feminists who criticised Assange, Sheridan and Corbyn in droves were utterly silent on the subject of Danczuk. Because the purpose of established and paid feminism is to undermine the left in the service of the neo-cons, not to attack neo-cons like Danczuk.
Identity politics has been used to shatter any attempt to campaign for broader social justice for everybody. Instead it becomes about the rights of particular groups, and that is soon morphed into the neo-con language of opportunity. What is needed, modern feminism argues, is not a reduction of the vast gap between rich and poor, but a chance for some women to become Michelle Mone or Ann Gloag. It is not about good conditions for all, but the removal of glass ceilings for high paid feminist journalists or political hacks.
Feminism has become the main attack tool in the neo-con ideological arsenal. I am sceptical the concept can be redeemed from this.
The fake photographs of the Syrian refugees in the areas that proper Syrians ie those whom voted for Assad are pushing back the mercenary cut throats released from the various al Saud jails are getting their butt handed back to them.
The shameless attempts to pass the old photographs of war and conflict or from various other refugee camps outside of Syria, are being touted as the recent photographs from the places such as Madaya!!!

Resident Dissident, with regard to Bowie’s gig in front of the Berlin Wall in 1987, I believe it was the song ‘Heroes’ that sparked off riots amongst those listening to the gig on the East Berlin side of the Wall.
I wonder how our present day leaders of ‘freedom and democracy’ would deal with the likes of a David Bowie?
They are already labeling junior doctors as ‘communists’ and ‘terrorist sympathisers’.
“They are already labeling junior doctors as ‘communists’ and ‘terrorist sympathisers’.”
Who – and who is taking them seriously? The comparison to the former Eastern bloc is ridiculous.
Most Germans in the 1930s thought it was ridiculous to compare their system with the murderous Bolsheviks. And at the time the numbers of people killed by the Bolsheviks exceeded the Nazis’ toll by some two significant figures.
Some 2 million killed in the Americans’ Vietnam War. 1 million dead in Iraq. 1/2 million killed after the Indonesian coup. And how many other countries should be counted? Those figures add up.

If you believe that you are naive beyond belief.
I love the way that the trolls don’t know how to handle the death of someone like David Bowie, because it’s totally off-script for them.
The trolls and the neo-cons don’t have any idea of what art or humanity or society is. Their only concept is money/profit, regardless of how many of their fellow humans get slaughtered in the process, and regardless of how they are decimating the planet Earth.
You really are the biggest sickos on the planet.
But it’s already too late: you’ve destroyed our planet; but mark my words, you vermin are all going to be held to account for it.

Your link does not support your claim

I’ll repeat, the government/corporate trolls will all be dealt with; not here in cyberspace, but in the real world, under common law, and not the law that you psychos care to make up.
Don’t say I haven’t warned you.
“I love the way that the trolls don’t know how to handle the death of someone like David Bowie, because it’s totally off-script for them.”
Indeed.

The surreal ziegiest is akin to Hitler winning WWII and the shape of Earth the day after such an event. The voluntary withdrawal of the USSR from the arms race was misconstrued as a “victory” by the US political class through the constant exaggerations of the neocon whose loyalties are only to the shitty strip of the land and their methods of achieving thus is to ingratiate themselves upon the more powerful dumb goyem to carry out their mission!
The victor’s complex of the US political elite since has grown to the current mess that seems to have shifted the point of rivalry/competition from technological superiority and the revenue stream directed at the weapon’s manufacturers and arms dealers, to be focused on the religious grounds. The fact that there are no longer any countries left to manufacture the mega death machines to frighten the dickens out of the hamburger munchers in US, has been replaced with garnering their hatred in the way of eliminating any religious competitors.
The police state that has replaced a once semi democratic US is only concerned with more and more control measures to be placed on more and more numbers of the human beings.
The day after Hitler winning the world war would have looked less of a police state than the US victory over USSR!!!!!! Which victory? How can USSR intent on transparency and reform become vanquished is never the question? Nonetheless the “victory” stands and the subsequent attacks on all nations’ sovereignty is a further proof of; to the victors shall go the spoils of war.
Hitler didn’t have his scientists researching control constructs and mobile oppression units, operation paperclip saw these carry out their work in US, whilst the old world saw that the new world adheres to the same imperatives of the old!
RD: You expressed doubts about RobG’s claims. “Sir” Bruce Keogue (IIRC), medical director for NHS England, wanted to play up doubts as to junior doctor’s willingness to return to work, were there a Paris like attack here. That’s how our Establishment figures like to take advantage of terrorism.
Of course, Classy Cameron likened those not supporting increased bombing in Syria to terrorist sympathisers.
It’s a bit much you waving this sort of routine slurs and smears away, then calling RobG a “silly little man” – shame on you. And your handle is all wrong, you’re clearly nothing but an Establishment apologist.
Nice one, Fred, and proving your great intellect, yet again.

@John Goss 11 Jan, 2016 – 11:43 pm
Yes, it’s extremely probable that the fungal plague on Haitian millet crops was a deliberate act of US Chemical/Biological Warfare against the Haitian people. Bush Sr,’s plans for Haiti were exposed in front of Cathy O’Brien; the US made many Chemical/Biological attacks on crops and people in Cuba; they backed of considerably when anti-Castro Miami Cubans kicked up a stink, as they have many family links with Cuban people,
Cathy O’Brien was a witness to George HW Bush saying what follows below, at Bohemian Grove.
She was there as a totally Mind Controlled sex slave, so nobody minded saying or doing anything in front of her, or indeed to her; it was believed she could never remember the events unless they used their programme on her.
But, thank God, she and her mind-controlled 8-year old daughter were rescued by an Intelligence guy, Mark Phillips, who not only deprogrammed Cathy, but made her his wife. Sadly, he could not completely deprogram her daughter, because high-tech ‘Harmonic’ programming had been used on her since birth, and he did not have access to the equiptment’.
Notice that Haiti was listed as one of the first for depopulation, and remember the (HAARP?) earthquake, and the ‘accidental’ epidemic of cholera spread by the Nepalese troops? (http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2012/11/20121115101554961482 .html ):
And notice also the probable birth of the ‘Shape shifting lizard’ business; it obviously wasn’t just being thought of then, because Bush actually tried the hologram on her:
(so looks like Icke & Co. were led up the proverbial garden path)!!
Beginning quote:
‘Darpa’s artificial intelligence was reliant on secrecy, and a terrifying cover for reality was chosen to divert people from the simple truth. Since people perceive aliens as being physical like them,it was decided that the technological reality could be disguised according to preconceptions. Through generations of genetic encoding dating back to the beginning of man, serpents incite an innate autogenic response system in humans to ‘freeze’ in terror. George Bush was excited at the prospects of diverting people from truth by fear through perpetuating lizard-like serpent alien misconceptions. ”People fear what they don’t know anyway. By compounding that fear with autogenic fear response, they won’t want to look into Pandora’s box.”
Through deliberate generation of fear; suppression of facts under the 1947 National Security Act; Bush’s stint as CIA director during Ford’s Administration; the Warren Commission’s whitewash of the Kennedy Assassination; secrecy artificially ensured by mind control particularly concerning DARPA, HAARP, Roswell, Montauk, etc; and with people’s fluidity of conscious thought rapidly diminishing; the secret government embraced the proverbial ‘absolute power that corrupts absolutely.’
According to New World Order plans being discussed at the Grove, plans for reducing the earth’s population was a high priority. Mass genocide of so-called ”undesirables” through the proliferation of AIDS was high on Bush’s agenda. ”We’ll annihilate the ni**ers (she didn’t mess about with ‘stars’, she used Bush’s words verbatim) at their source, beginning in South and East Africa and Haiti.” Having heard Bush say those words is by far one of the most torturous things I ever endured. Equally as torturous to my being were the discussions on genetic engineering, human cloning, and depletion of earth’s natural resources for profit. Cheney remarked that no one would be able to think to stop technology’s plan. ”I’ll destroy the planet first,” Bush had vowed.’
(Copied verbatim, page 168 ‘Access Denied: For Reasons of National Security’ by Cathy O’Brien with Mark Phillips. A footnote also points to Chapter 23, ‘Whirled Vision’, of ‘Trance Formation of America’ by same authors.)

Thanks a Node, and thanks to Fedup for this sour comment:

Ouch!
With Craig unusually active on this feminist thread nobody wants to stray off-topic for fear of being off-headed. So I will provocatively surmise that the feminist-knocking theme is the probably the product of Craig experiencing family warfare over christmas over the hosting of his obviously beloved children. Enough to put any father in a very bad mood indeed.
I would therefore offer some condolences to Craig, which will probably get my head offed for my pains, because I too have been divorced from a rather strong-minded female and re-married to a rather accommodating Muslim one, or of Muslim origin. The raw cunt-power as my ex described herself, in her ability to control my feelings, is beginning to show signs of wear and tear. Not her bits, but its ability to get up my nose. And the truth-seeker-hate-crime, feminist adoption of neo-con values in revenge for her total inability to control my opinions and thoughts, has completely disappeared.
here’s to a Muslim wife and a happy hew year. Stop being miserable Craig. if they find solace with neo-cuntery, who are we to deprive them of their pleasure?
Lysias this polemic (http://www.northstarcompass.org/nsc0903/amholomor.htm) is useful if it helps to put the sort of claims that underlie your charge that ‘the Bolsheviks killed twice as many as the Nazis in the ’30s’ into some sort of perspective.
Almost all figures relating to Stalin’s (and for that matter Mao’s)’crimes’ are bogus and those of the Holodomor in Ukraine particularly so. They have been used, since at least 1946, by crypto fascists in the US Congress, as justifications for wars against communists and those deemed to sympathise with them.
Bevin
Lysias’ point was about timing, not numbers.The “night of the long knives” which Stalin commended as a political master stroke, killed way fewer than Stalin’s purges of Trotskyites. What Hitler went on to do in the 1940s was a completely different matter.
Glenn
This is what Rob G claimed “They are already labeling junior doctors as ‘communists’ and ‘terrorist sympathisers’.”
I asked for support of that claim – none was forthcoming from either RobG or yourself – if either of you were honest you would admit that is not what the establishment is doing and you are indulging in your old sport of hyperbole.
Meanwhile Bevin supports a rather more evil establishment and you say nothing at all.
