Feminism a Neo-Con Tool 2656


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.

    zionistan furious at UN report detailing torture of Palestinian children

    “The Committee expresses its deepest concern about the reported practice of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian children arrested, prosecuted and detained by the military and the police, and about the State party’s failure to end these practices in spite of repeated concerns expressed by treaty bodies,” the investigative body stated in its periodic review of Israel’s child rights record, released on Thursday.

    It continued: “[Palestinian children are] systematically subject to physical and verbal violence, humiliation, painful restraints, hooding of the head and face in a sack, threatened with death, physical violence, and sexual assault against themselves or members of their family, restricted access to toilet, food and water.

    Clark, it would be very difficult, because of the propaganda that surrounds this issue.

    All I will say is – and this is fact – the No.4 unit that blew up at Chernobyl was a graphite reactor that was one third the size of any of the Fukushima reactors, and the No.4 unit at Chernobyl only suffered a partial meltdown that was contained within ten days (at huge loss of life).

    By contrast, Fukushima is a a continuing nightmare: three full size commercial reactors in complete and ongoing meltdown (and reactor 3 was running MOX fuel), and at least two spent fuel pools went sky high as well.

    There’s never been anything like this before on the planet Earth.

    The media blackout on all things Fukushima might perhaps confirm what I’m saying here.

    But to get back to your question, a rough ballpark figure would be that Fukushima releases about 400 Hiroshima bombs-worth of radiation *every single day*, and it’s been going on for almost five years now (Chernobyl was a firecraker by comparison). The northern Pacific Ocean is now almost completely dead as a result of this. It’s the greatest disaster in human history.

    I’ll try to give you authoritative links to this tomorrow, when I’m not so tired. I say ‘try’ because we now live in 1984-land.

    Black is white. Down is up. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

    Clark, thanks for your earlier link too, which I read. Interesting, if a little romantic and referenced with Christianity. But thank you, I appreciate it. Personally, where I am in my own learning, I see the only real real transformation can come bottom-up. By that I mean we each have to light our own lamp, one lamp at a time. Clarity brings contact with the Universal Mind. Usually doing things top-down, only brings modification, not real change.

    As for your hiccup with Brian, I know he understands and you will no doubt retrieve the situation in this wonderful year!

    Hope you’re feeling better than earlier with the pain. An early and peaceful night can do wonders! The shortest poem I ever wrote:

    “The roots of today, lie in yesterday
    The fruits of tomorrow, lie in today”

    See if you can make sense of it in terms of a good night’s sleep.

    And blood is ketchup. (At least in Paris, even if 130 real, innocent people died in murder.)

  • RobG

    Can Alcyone give me any links to media coverage of the 130 funerals that would have taken place in the week or so after the attack?

    And not CIA/MSM bullshit, but genuine stuff from the French media.

    Can Alcyone also provide me with mobile phone footage of the Paris attacks? There was plenty of it from this week’s attack in Jakarta, but for some strange reason it’s totally absent from last November’s Paris attacks.

    I mean, how stupid do you vermin in the security services think that we are?!

    The war crimes trials are going to be a delight.

    Thanks RobG I haven’t watched them in ages, they still make me laugh.

  • Clark

    RobG, I tend to think that the Paris atrocity was real, but even if it was not, the violent warped-Islam that the neocon powers nurture, arm and collude with is certainly capable of that sort of thing. This strategy of using such forces as proxies in countries such as Syria has to end, whether what we are told of the Paris attacks is real, fake, or something in-between.

    Regarding nuclear cover-up, I specifically included Chernobyl because it is less covered-up than Fukushima, and thus easier to come up with an estimate for. I think that about a third of all the nuclear warheads still existent have been exploded in tests, so my idea is to compare a real nuclear power disaster with all-out nuclear war. I think such a statistic may be effective in persuading people that having over four hundred power reactors operating on this planet is unacceptably dangerous.

  • RobG

    Alcyone, you apparently can’t answer my questions, and you can only resort to idiotic personal attacks.

    You lot are all going to be brought to a court of law, and you’ll have to answer to people like me.

    In the interests of fairness, I have discovered legal opinion which contradicts the opinion of Sir John Thomas and Mr Justice Ouseley in the matter of the European Arrest Warrant issued for Julian Assange.

    Professor Andrew Ashworth is of the opinion that none of the sexual offences alleged are made out in English law.

    Find his discussion under “Andrew Ashworth’s Expert Opinion” here:

    Clark, large scale war is now impossible on this planet, because of the 440 or so nuclear power plants that now exist worldwide (more than 100 of them are in the US). If just one of those nuke plants gets zapped you can kiss goodbye to most life on Earth.

    This is the totally insane situation we are now in.

    Perhaps the only question is: how did we put ourselves in this situation?

  • John Spencer-Davis

    I need to correct my statement a little. Professor Ashworth’s opinion is that even if the allegations contained in the European Arrest Warrant were demonstrated to be factual, that would still not mean that any offences had been committed under English law.

    Kind regards,

    John

    “Wasn’t the above asked – and dealt with – a couple of threads ago?

    Perhaps you can supply these links to Paris terror attack funerals again; after all, it is rather important yet is noticeably missing from the mainstream narrative.

    Likewise with the lack of any mobile phone footage of the events, which is quite remarkable for a busy Friday night in central Paris.

    But don’t worry, I’m sure it will all come out in the War Crimes trials.

  • Clark

    RobG, 9:05 pm:

    “Perhaps the only question is: how did we put ourselves in this situation?”

    Well I got quite interested in the history of this. There were two technologies developed during the Second World War, nuclear technology and rocketry, which together opened the possibility of global domination for the first time in human existence. As a response, a set of deals (or bribes) was set up, the Atoms for Peace programme and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to be administered through the United Nations. Governments were bought off from developing nuclear weapons by being offered nuclear power, which they honestly thought would be “too cheap to meter”. Several nuclear disasters later it doesn’t look so clever.

    A good freemason would rather swallow the evidence than blow the truth about his organisation, You have now swallowed the condom that you have no legal training or expertise whatsoever.

    When it is full of methane could you deposit it with habbabkuk. He seems a little under power.

  • Clark

    RobG, whatever else, pointing out a few links doesn’t make Habbabkuk either vermin or a war criminal. Habba was away for over a week; can’t we start afresh? With the context lost in the mist of past threads, such exchanges just make the present thread look silly.

    If Habba asks awkward questions, so much the better. Our arguments need to be refined, forged and honed, and this we can do using the fire and stone that Habba supplies.

    If we just follow Craig’s rule of engaging with the issues rather than attacking the contributor, Habba’s challenges can be turned to advantage.

  • Kempe

    ” Mods, this commenter appears to be under a lot of pressure and is issuing threats. ”

    Not much the Mods can do unless they happen to be mental health professionals. The guy is either delusional or having a laugh.

    Yes we’ve provided evidence of funerals for the victims of the Paris attacks but of course it’s never enough or from the wrong sources likewise the mobile phone footage. If there is none it’s proof of a “false flag” if there is footage, as there was of Paris, it’s clearly faked; and proof of a “false flag”.

    Habba is like a broken cigarette lighter. Plenty of spark but no gas. Be careful about using the spark around the gas-bag pink-tighted bull-shitter.

  • RobG

    None of the trolls can address any of my questions. They just ask for me to be banned. Pathetic.

    If I am banned I will just ask readers to look back at my questions.

    And I will say for the umpteenth time that all the spooks here are going to be brought to justice, and you will face people like me.

    Be afraid, be very afraid… but I’ve said all this before, which is why the spooks are so terrified and can’t blurt out a coherent sentence.

    Habba and Co are the most totally pathetic creatures you’ll ever encounter; but don’t worry, they’re all going to be put in jail.

    Reminder:

    If the Paris attacks were real, we have a problem with our governments colluding with violent warped-Islam for geopolitical advantage.
