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.

    “Total bullshit. I live in France and read the French media.

    You strike me as being a CIA shill/clown.

    Maybe you should go down on Habba.

    You seem to be made for each other.”

    ________________

    RobG ouch Why be ordinary certainly wasn’t expecting you to live in France, when he/she made their rather unfortunate remark.

    You are of course well placed Rob to know the media coverage of the very dubious Paris event

    Why be ordinary would do well to pay attention in future.

  • RobG

    And of course still no answers from the criminal clowns with regard to the Paris terror attacks: why no mobile phone footage, clowns? Why no footage of 130 funerals, clowns.

    We will provide a legal circus for all these clowns to be put on trial.

    But what you, the public, have to understand, is that they are clowns.

  • giyane

    Why be ordinary

    RobG has every right to be confused. His president Hollande is playing a neo-colonial game in Syria along with Turkey, which is dreaming about its lost Ottoman Empire. This game is entirely separate from the petro politics between the US and saudi arabia and different again from the UK dirty politics with their former vassals, the murdered Muslim scholars of India.

    Napoleon Bonaparte understood that Isla m is the truth. The Uk defends its own weird idea that the sun shines out of the bum of the descendants of Queen Victoria. A false flag here like 7/7 is not the same as a false flag in the US.9/11 or a false-flag in France or Turkey. All false flags but different countries, different purposes, different agenda.

    France and Turkey, seeing that Russia has seriously undermined Al Qaida and daesh, want to stop the peace-talks and negotiations Russian bombing is intended to start from taking place ever.

    The UK supports the asian imams in their lust for murder and power, by jetting young jihadis to Syria, training them in warfare and supporting their families at home.
    they recently added to that package, air cover. The 70.000 mocerates cameron won’t tell you who they are, come from Bolton Blackburn and Birmingham, have British passports and are financially supported by the UK taxpayer.

    Look to the US neo-cons, General Betrayus, Hillary Clinton, Samantha Powers who live far enough away from the Syrian front line not to care if the whole middle east goes up in smoke, to find out why false=flag , independent bomb-makers keep operating there.

    You are probably right, that the French press protect the privacy of the victims of the paris false-flag attacks. The French press serve the elite dreams of colonial power, of Giscard D’Estang etc, which was so rudely interrupted by the 3rd Reich. They are not interested in the victims of false-flag terror.

  • RobG

    Bollocks, Giyane, Paris last November was a false flag.

    I don’t give a shit who you work for; likewise with Habba & Co; suffice to say that all you lot are going to be brought before a court of law.

    We are coming for you…

    Who organized the attacks in January and November 2015 in Paris?
    by Thierry Meyssan
    New information, published by the Croatian daily Slobodna Dalmacija attest to the responsibility of the French State in the attacks in Paris in January and November 2015. Either the French authorities had previously infiltrated groups who perpetrated the attacks in January and November in Paris and did not intervene to stop them take action, or they are directly involved in organizing the attacks. Anyway, it is unclear who took these decisions and if there was or was not in the name of the Republic.

    VOLTAIRE NETWORK | DAMASCUS (SYRIA) | JANUARY 14, 2016

    On January 11, 2015, 56 Heads of State and Government met in Paris in a street at the height of metro Voltaire, to demonstrate their opposition to terrorism. Among them, the sponsors of Al Qaeda and Daesh as Ahmet Davutoğlu.
    According to the official version, the attacks in January and November 2015 in Paris were sponsored by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) for the execution of the editors of Charlie-Hebdo, for Daesh for all others. The authorities have admitted that the first attack was coordinated with that against the supermarket Porte de Vincennes although they believe the two organizations are enemies and there is doubt over the claim of belonging to Amedy Coulibaly Daesh .

    Reuters revealed that the weapons used in November came from Crvena Zastava factory, located in Kragujevac (Serbia) [1]. Associated Press and Palm Beach Post believed that the Serbian guns had transited Century International Arms, a Florida firm linked to the CIA [2] but the news agency -not the quotidien- has since retracted [3].

    According to the Croatian daily Slobodna Dalmacija, the weapons used in the attack in January against the supermarket and others used in the attacks in November come from the Serbian Crvena Zastava factory in France and would have passed through the same dealer, Claude Hermant [4].

    Our readers will remember that in 1998, Voltaire Network had discovered the surprising activities of the National Front of order service, the Department for Protection and Security (DPS). It was engaged in a fichage and easier to identify homes personalities. It soon appeared that within the DPS, a small group of people seemed to prepare for illicit activities. After much discussion, we obtained the creation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry to shed light on these events [5]. The elements we apportâmes in the National Assembly, including the dual mission of members of the DPS with the FN in France and in the organization of coups in Africa, quickly ran into the Secret-Defense [6]. Moreover, they provoked a crisis within the National Front and its division, so nobody would have to answer for the acts. Two years later, in 2001, one of the former members of the DPS, Claude Hermant, already quoted, confirmed to release the existence of this “Action” structure within the DPS [7].

    Recall now our work in 1998-99. We had established in 1972, the “National Front for the French unit” had been created in secret by Jacques Foccart, then in charge of African and Malagasy Affairs at the Élysée, at the request of President Georges Pompidou. The FN was animated from the start by Jean-Marie Le Pen, who had played an important role in the accession of Charles De Gaulle to power in 1958 before turning against him [8], and François Duprat, who s’ committed alongside Bob Denard in supporting Moises Tshombe in Katanga. Similarly, we showed that in 1984, François Mitterrand and Guy Penne, successor to Jacques Foccart at the Elysee, had financed with secret funds of the Republic the election campaign of the National Front in the European elections. We were therefore concluded that the FN had been and was still, not a political party Aspiring to exercise power, but a structure necessary for the Elysee, first used to control right-wing personalities and to reintroduce them in national political life.

    Regarding the DPS, we have shown that it then headed by Bernard Courcelles, also simultaneously Babysitting Anne Pingeot body, the companion of François Mitterrand, and by Gérard Le Vert. It included within it a secret structure of about 60 men, all linked to secret services and taken as necessary to fulfill secret missions primarily in Africa. It is this structure that belonged Claude Hermant. The real direction of DPS was not the National Front, but the Ministry of Defence, the DPSD, a secret service almost identical names, responsible for the protection of armies.

    Therefore, the revelations of Slobodna Dalmacija make sense. In January 2015, Claude Hermant introduced himself to the investigating judge as “informant” Customs and the police when he was jailed for “arms trafficking”. The magistrate’s request for details on the weapons that he had sold, he opposed the Secret-Défense. The Advisory Committee on Secret-Defense and the Interior Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, proved him right [9].

    In summary, Mr. Hermant belonged to a structure that, under cover of the security service of the National Front, was reportedly charged by the Elysee secret missions abroad. He is now a freelance paid by Customs and the Gendarmerie, still without official status. According to Slobodna Dalmacija, he would have bought in Serbia neutralized weapons, used the attacks between January and November, he would himself remilitarisées -the daily talks about the results of a microscopic analysis of a firearm nobody had mentioned so far -. He also allegedly sold weapons to the Islamists in Brussels. Its traffic, whatever illegal, is covered by the Secret-Défense.

    Remember also that according to the group of states-unien press McClatchy, the killers of Charlie-Hebdo, the Kouachi brothers were linked to the French secret service [10]. Finally, remember that Claude Hermant was imprisoned by decision of Lille Stanislas Sandraps Richard Foltzer judges and investigating its weapons trafficking, not by Parisian judges attacks, Christophe Tessier, Nathalie Poux and Laurence Le Vert; itself cousin Gerard Green, already quoted former boss Claude Hermant DPS.

    In conclusion, Mr. Hermant is participating in a cell undercover operation that carried out the attacks without their action was halted, either, and it is less likely, its current senior -probably to have them Élysée- -mêmes involved in organizing the attacks. It also remains to determine why and in whose name the superiors of Claude Hermant have done this.

    Hello I’m popping in before bed.

    RobG, if you run some kind of holiday accommodation as Habbabkuk seems to be saying, I may be interested to come and stay around Easter, too, if Habbabkuk doesn’t object. Habbabkuk, are you willing for a meet-up at RobG’s?

  • RobG

    Fred, don’t insult my intelligence, and the reader’s intelligence, with this nonsense.

    Central Paris on a Friday evening, and not one mobile phone clip of what happened?

    Grow-up and stop being a troll.

    Life is full of possibilities (although I’m afraid that none of them relate to oil).

  • giyane

    RobG

    I work for you. The piece above , translated into English, was published by Voltairenet.org in french. Does “neutralised weapons” mean that no-one got hurt? If so your theory is correct. Well done. I wonder how they can pull that off.

  • Clark

    Giyane 10:04 pm; this is simply a difference in perspective. You approach this as a Muslim, so you object to those who pervert and misrepresent the principles of Islam. I approach this as a UK voter, so I object to those who pervert and misrepresent the democratic mandate they claim to have.

  • Clark

    RobG, you should certainly have me and Habbabkuk to stay in Easter. It could be your only chance to meet us before you have to put us against a wall and shoot us.

    Rob, you’re running out of people that don’t need shooting. And on Craig Murray’s blog, of all places.

  • RobG

    Clark, I take it you saw PMQs this week.

    This government are a bunch of criminal loons.

    We all have to decide how we respond to this.

  • giyane

    Clark

    I do both.

    We approach the coming of the Masih al Dajjal, the Antichrist. These convoluted deceits are just practice for that, lubricating our minds for ultimate deceit. People who think that creating deceit will protect them from being deceived have got the wrong end of the stick.

    They own the matrices for their own lies, and that may help them to understand the lies of others. But the only cure for the lies of the antichrist will be belonging to a group dedicated to truth. That excludes all of political Islam and all secular politics.

    The people who will be the most astray, as previously happened to the rabbis of the Jewish faith at the time of Jesus pbuh, will be the imams who practise deception, the whited sepulchres, the people who held the key to paradise, prevented others from entering and did not enter themselves. which for my Muslim imam readers comes from the Gospels. Watch this space.

  • Clark

    RobG, would you agree that the vast majority of people around me, like people I might meet if I were shopping or socialising as I go about life, presumably believe that the Paris killings were real?

  • Tony_0pmoc

    Clark,

    Are you O.K….when you went off on one..I was worried about you..East of Scotland wasn’t it…you were taking photographs of the moon..and you posted them on Squonk’s website – are you Squonk??? and then you left a kind of suicide note…

    I do notice these things…even in the depths of despair…when I have seemingly lost everything and its like I am at the bottom of a very deep well..I tried to climb out..but just fell back…and so I had to start again…I arched my back against the side of the well and gradually got higher towards the surface…and this girl…she kid of anchored herself to the top and reached down her hand to me..and pulled me out from the bottom of the earth.

    She and everything just looked so beautiful after the pit of despair..

    She washed me down in her Beautiful Long Blonde Hair..and asked me are you O.K. now?

    How could I not fall in love?

    I asked her to marry me (the only girl I have ever asked)

    She said O.K.

    We got Married in Gretna Green – we ran away and didn’t tell anyone.

    It was our thing.

    She is still here now with me, and we have two kids – and I love her so much.

    Have you been Recruited by The Cult?

    If so – I ain’t knocking it..just try and make friends with the nicest girl there..I don’t think you are gay..I have seen your photo – you look like a Rock Star..but if you are…the nicest bloke there…

    You need some real happiness in your soul…stop worrying about the the world…there is nothing you or I can do about it..except by setting a good example and being friendly and nice to the people we meet.

    Love & Peace,

    Tony

    Religion ffs, get with the 21st century.
    Facts, not fantasy.
    We exist in an expanding universe at least 13.8 billion light years across, containing a hundred billion galaxies or so, with each consisting of a hundred billion stars. Our wee planet revolves around a fairly ordinary star.

    We are no more than highly evolved apes. The fossil record says so, and DNA analysis confirms it beyond doubt.

    Ask yourselves, why would a creator (interventionist or not) give a flying fuck for the foibles of said evolved apes ? Is this super-being so insecure that it needs our praise ?
    Would it really feel the need to dictate over the head wear of the apes, or which hole they can poke appendages into, how we should mutilate our children ect ect ?

    O/T ? Hardly. Considering what is at the root of most of the planets problems !

  • fedup

    Too late for me but this piece of bullshitonomics gave rise to my ire and had to publish before heading for bed’

    Why cheap oil isn’t all good news

    This piece of garbage passed as “sense” is arguing why a hole in the head is a great idea and everyone should really have two holes in their head if not one;

    In spite of the recent price crash, some well-respected investment banks think prices could fall even lower, potentially as far as $10 a barrel, which, according to the RAC, would result in petrol prices of just 86p per litre, a saving of 45p per litre on the prices seen in June 2014.

    Note the 86 pence a litre that gives a clear idea of the gross and over inflated taxation of the petrol that we cannot do without unless we started going back to the ox and cart. That is in addition to the totally failed insurance market that has made a mockery of the premiums with the help of the police who are now private corporate enforcers with their car crushers at the ready to crush any uninsured car.

    On a typical 50-litre refill this translates to a £22.50 saving every time you refill. Equating to an annual saving of £579 a year assuming a typical driver covers 10,000 miles annually in a car that averages 35 mpg.

    Then we find out our savings would be of the order of 22.50 per trip to the pump amounting to an annual budget of £579 well II know how I can use this money , and I am sure others will find a use for it pretty damn quick.

    But hang on it is not good news because;

    So, where’s the downside? Well, the price of oil is arguably the most important financial metric out there. It’s a barometer for the overall health of the global economy.

    You don’t say Sherlock!

    Hang on there is more “wisdom”;

    So what’s driving the collapse in the global oil price? In a word, China.

    The world’s second largest economy is seeing a significant downturn. Once revered as the global engine for growth, the Chinese economy has stalled.

    Note the stall has nothing to do with the fact that the high oil prices have sucked all the money out of peoples pockets and these can no longer buy the crap produced in China! Which fucking economist in his.her right mind come out with this kid of a drivel?

    The addled brained crack smoking advisor to the Chancellor whose own penchant for a line a or two is well known, can only dream up of such a drivel. fact that these incompetent morons have not understood that parasitic banksterism compounded with parasitic tax regimens will starve the host to the extent of its demise. As more and more are becoming homeless and jobless and others are spending less and less obviously the price of oil will tumble you fucking idiots have you forgotten about the fucking supply and demand?

    The rest of the farticle goes on about British airways making fuel out of house hold waste, and drivers driving their cars more, obvious these drivers bought these cars just to let them stand on the parking lots and stay at home posing we have a car!!!!!

    The rest of this pity pile of shite is being passed as “wisdom” to the dyscalculia punters munching away on their horseburgers!!

    It lies bound in three atoms of oxygen and one of calcium, in the form of limestone. Then it was cut out, went through a lime furnace, and took wing. The atom was caught by the wind, flung down onto the earth, lifted ten kilometres high. It was breathed in by a falcon… dissolved three times in the sea, and again was expelled. It then stumbled into organic adventures. It had the good fortune to brush against a leaf, penetrate it, and be nailed there by a ray of the Sun.

    In an instant, like an insect caught by a spider, the carbon atom was separated from its oxygen, combined with hydrogen, and finally inserted in a chain of life.

    … It enters the bloodstream, knocks at the door of a nerve cell, enters, and supplants the carbon that was part of it. The cell belongs to a brain and it is my brain; the cell in question, and within it the atom in question, are in charge of my writing, in a mysterious game that nobody has yet described. It… guides this hand of mine to impress on this paper this dot here, this one.

    Primo Levi, The Periodic Table.

    Defo, I love physics and I find the modern description of the universe, from Big Bang to organic evolution, very convincing. I don’t try to understand religious creation myths, except that they say creation increased in complexity as it proceeded. If I use religious concepts to communicate, so what? “The Old One is subtle, but he is not malicious”.

    Last year the Guardian made a £45m operating loss. This year it will lose £50m.

    “The Guardian has been loss making for more than a decade, but is nonetheless among the most financially secure publishers on Fleet Street. Its parent company, Guardian Media Group, has an investment fund of more than £800m, mainly compiled through the sale of its car classifieds business Auto Trader. That fund would need to make an annual return of 9 per cent in order to sustain the Guardian’s current cash outflow indefinitely.”link

    Why are the Guardian Media Group willing to lose a £million/week? They have the best part of a £billion in funds and they spend all the interest, and more, in educating the public. Are they philanthropists?

    Why would the Creator not have the right to be recognised as a creator of the universe?
    Why would the Creator of the human heart and mind not choose which hole is good for us?

    The whole of the history of colonialism is going to have to be rewritten in the light of recent collaboration between USUKIS and Al Qaida/ Muslim Brotherhood/Asian Islam.

    We were brought up agonising over the guilt of our conationals, the colonial class, reaping destruction on the natives. The whole narrative is wrong. The colonial class invited local rulers who were ambitious for power to engage in war for them and be rewarded with ruthless power over their fellow countrymen.

    We didn’t know the natives were like that, but we do now. Their cover has been blown.
    We didn’t know that they would help our corrupt politicians against us. We know now.
    Strangely enough it was a man called Defoe that sold us the innocent native.

    And all that time the Muslims kept the treasure of the truth of Islam concealed from us, for personal power gain. Like the Jews before them they abandoned their sacred trust.

  • giyane

    Habbakuk has been tied up and sodomised by the security services for the last week for incompetence on duty on CM blog. He is a shadow of his former self.

    that was your holiday, you old tart. RobG’s got some gothic penal ironmongery installed at his gite for the sado-masochist market. But why pay when everything is free with GCHQ/IDF?

  • Clark

    Giyane, ah yes, but the Creator did give us the free will to do so if we choose. The free will is clearly Gods work (Defo, read “natural”) whereas the instructions on how to behave come in books which clearly were written by humans; you may argue that those humans were transliterating from God, and I may argue that no work of humans is perfect. So we’re back to relying on our direct connection to God (Defo, read “morality”), namely conscience, or the heart.
