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.

No surprises to see you howling ‘racist’.
I recall some months ago when this ‘refugee’ crisis began, I commented on the likelihood of there being an increase in rape and molestation of the host female population. Needless to say I was immediately labelled a racist by yourself and several others here.
But it turns out I was right. Do you think you have it in yourself to offer me an apology?
Humbug’s adrenalin levels are at screaming point at the moment, not being able to comment on his pet-hate topic of feminism all week. if you even offerred him a polite good evening he’d snort back at you.
Can we finish the strap-on dick-waving, trolls? Alright for your frozen sausages but it’s a bit cold for us real humans.

Well Habb old boy you can’t have it both ways, first you bleat that Craig allows such comments in here rather than see some poor soul suffer the wrath of an angry commentor in say a supermarket or on the high street.
Now you’re bleating about those exact same commentors and how they should be cracked down on, I do wish you’d make your mind up old boy.
Or is that too much to ask?
On the substance of Anon’s recent comment, I fail to see why anyone should accuse him of racism. After all, the attacks and molestations did occur and were, it seems, kept quite about for a few days by the public authorities until some enterprising journalists finally brought the events into the public eye. I see no reason why commenters on here should be so politically correct as to remain silent about those events even after they have become public knowledge.
As to why they happened and, indeed, whether they actually happened: surely one should not be surprised, given that the majority of the refugees would appear to be male and young. Now it is well known that young unmarried males coming from certain traditions and cultures are sex-starved since sex before marriage within their own communities is frowned on if not punished in ways that we in the West have long abjured. If you transplant these young sex-starved males into another culture, the women of which are generally perceived of as being much more open in their sexual mores, then it is hardly surprising that some of them – a minority, to be sure – will be tempted to throw restraint to the winds.
There are probably a number of other factors in play as well but to go into them at this juncture would be somewhat speculative.
So let us look at these events objectively before we start throwing around accusations of “racism”.

Speaking of unhinged theories or web links to be precise, I take it by your silence that my last post to you, hit the nail on the head so to speak.
There’s no need to reply to this post, unless of course you know different?
“Political Islam in conjunction with the German police, directed the young Muslims to assault the women.”
Right. Okay.

I didn’t reply to your comment because I still don’t understand what you’re getting at.
The RoP website might not be to everyone’s taste. It might even be considered dubious. But I don’t think anyone can seriously deny the information it contains, which is basically just a daily list of RoP atrocities from around the world.
Whether it be Paris, Cologne, Istanbul, Burkina Faso, along with myriad other bombings and beheadings, it hasn’t, as far as I know, been denied that these events actually took place. I can give you the reports from AFP, BBC or RT if you prefer?
Perhaps what you are trying to say is that none of these events actually happened, that they were all false flags?
If not then what is your point?
I have to give a link to the Morning Star (which for reasons of balance I wouldn’t normally do) because the CIA/MSM are now a complete joke. It’s only a short piece, which I’m posting for its subject matter – ie, the British Government doesn’t officially recognise the Paris attacks as a terrorist event – but there’s also other quite relevant stuff in this article, if you read it closely…

With regard to the whales, huge numbers of them are dying and I doubt if there’ll be any left in the north Pacific by the end of this year. The whales aren’t dying from radiation, they are dying from starvation, because the bottom end of the food chain has been wiped out by radiation.
There certainly doesn’t seem to be any love lost between Hilary Clinton and current US president Barack Obama. The former of course lost out to latter in a previous presidential election.
Now Hilary Clinton has said that if she’s elected as the next US president she will impose restriction on Iran over their missile tests.
Clinton a former secretary of state said she’d go down the road of “distrust and verify” when it came to Iran.
Meanwhile, US Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal joined Clinton’s call for more sanctions on Iran on Saturday, arguing its missile tests violated UN resolutions.
A sanction free Iran could be short lived if Hilary Clinton becomes the 45th president of the USA.
The JCPOA, known as the Iran nuclear deal, was signed between Tehran and six world powers (the so-called P5+1 group comprised of China, France, Russia, the UK, the US and Germany) on July 14, 2015. The deal entailed Iran shrinking its atomic program in return for the US, EU and UN lifting economic sanctions.

Excellent post.
The funny part is that these people consider themselves anti-establishment, but they practice exactly the same tactics of self-censorship and denial as the political and media class. And likewise they will cry ‘racist’ when they can no longer keep up the denial.

Anon1, I had a feeling that my little teaser of a comment would see you raise your head above the parapet.
Of course you understood what I mean’t you just didn’t reply because I beat you to the punch over your RoP website. Which you thought you were only privy to.
As for believing what’s posted on the RoP site, well, keep this in mind. Oman has a bilateral relationship with the USA. The USA’s relationship with Oman goes back over 200 years, to around 1790, when US merchant ships used the friendly port to trade.
Oman was the first Arab nation to recognise the United States as a country, sending a envoy in 1841 to to maintain friendly relations.

If it were really the greatest disaster in human history, we’d all sit up and pay attention, Rob. But it’s all in your imagination.
“With regard to the whales, huge numbers of them are dying and I doubt if there’ll be any left in the north Pacific by the end of this year.”
I’d place a bet with you if it weren’t for the fact that huge numbers of them migrate to the south Pacific by winter.

“I understand that there is no “before”. What I am saying is that there was – nothing, and suddenly there is – something, which is space-time. Is it a meaningful question to ask whether there was an initial switch which turned nothing into something, or is it not? And if it is, then was that switch a natural event, or was it not?”
John.
Of course it’s a meaningful question mate. Sorry, but if I knew the answer then I wouldn’t be here. I’d be sitting somewhere warm and sunny, looking at my Nobel prize and spending £ like there was no tomorrow .

Reading back further upstream through the comments into the dark heart of the blog, it appears Suhayl has claimed that the refugees are being paid to rape the European women.

During 2015, the north Pacific herring fishery collapsed, as did the salmon fishery and the shellfish stocks, amongst many others. The MSM whores report it in segments because they could hardly do otherwise: multi-million dollar businesses are being wiped out; but they never report it in context of all the other specis that are being wiped out as well, and it’s always reported as a ‘mystery disease’ or a ‘mystery illness’.
Every single one of the vermin who have enabled this disaster, including the media whores and the trolls, are going to be put on trial for crimes against humanity.
“And if it is, then was that switch a natural event, or was it not?”
LOL define ”unnatural”, in this context. The very root meaning of the word nature is birth.
We are conditioned to think in terms of cause and effect. The Universe/Multiverse has no imaginable cause.
Note, the person asking the above question believes that Christian Universalism is “a very agreeable philosophy”. Context (in this case the questioners religious beliefs) is everything.
