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.

How to shut up a feminist:
“When the number of female body bags is the same as male in Wootoon Bassett we have quality.
How to shut up a Muslim moaning about mosques being disallowed in the West:
“Yes of course you can have a mosque dedicated to the Shia faith, and may we have in return a cathedral in Mecca?”
I took a look at the NAM link you provided RoS and see that Saudi Arabia was indeed a member. The aims of these non-aligned countries are:
I notice that Yemen is also a member. Its policies seem to be working quite well. Hmm!
Exaro say they have a leaked copy of Dame Janet Smith’s review into Sir Jimmy Savile’s sexual misconduct at the BBC, they have put a lot of material up.
People are apparently terrified of complaining and whistleblowing, even worse than in Savile’s time.

“I took a look at the NAM link you provided RoS and see that Saudi Arabia was indeed a member.” For a non-aligned country it seems to be pretty-well lined up with the biggest pimp or brothel-keeper in the world.

“Every country has neo Nazi`s. And Russia has a smaller number than most considering the size of the country.”
The first statement is true – the second is not, look at the polling for Zhirinovsky’s party.

I agree that Boris is not very nice – but he is better than Putin’s stooge in Moscow.
You still ignore what Murray said in response when he was challenged on where his figures came from. Why is this?

I was responding to false claims about the level of racism in Russia – Yes Saudi Arabia is bad as well – amd yes I know their policies on Homosexuality, treatment of women, torture and flogging and many other things as well.

The US doesn’t care about paedos.
The Hastert and Epstein cases refer.
We know the UK doesn’t much care about them either.
At least not in the sense most people would imagine.
Paedos are useful to state managers.
Have to laugh at people on here still trying to discuss international relations in terms of goodies and baddies.

Some good shots of Kurdish cities experiencing Belfast style rioting as well.
An explanation of why Turks hate Kurds, dating from Attaturk’s Turkish Nationalism.
And whenever you hear about nationalism, including Scottish Nationalism, you have to suspect that the enemies of that country want to sow the seeds of its destruction.
Nationalism blocks discussion and good relations with your neighbours, weakens your ability to dodge the ambitions of the global superpower to rendition your sovereign will.
The HDP in Turkey is not a nationalist Kurdish party, but opposes Turkish Nationalism, and therefore has become a focus for all progressive movements in Turkey to oppose the Turkish government. Crushing Kurds is a way of crushing general protest.
i have said it on this blog since 2010, Turkey is completely run by freemasons, and they don’t like to be challenged by progressive thinking which gives outsiders a look-in at exercising power. If you don’t like freemasons, and stitched-up government, you won’t last long in a system dominated by freemasonry.
I got my red card after 3 weeks,by which time I was well ready to go.
N.B.
Shi’a Sunni sectarianism is another form of Nationalism, a tool of USUKIS to divide and rule. I went past the Shi’a mosque in Balsall Heath today, pretty much the same as any other family mosque, with a loud welsh drumming band in the Arts centre next door, and a Sunni mosque over the road.
The Saudis have yet to pay for their stupidity in Yemen, Turkey and Syria, pakistan and Afghanistan. Iran is re-arming itself to the teeth as we speak. When the Iranian retaliation promised after Sheikh Al Nimr’s execution hits them, saudi arabia will be in the state of semi-destruction that USUKIS whisperings of sectarian nationalism intended them to be all along.

Absolutely this. You can see this frame all over US Media “good guys” vs “bad guys”. Sadly I noticed the UK media is doing this now.
This is getting more comical than a B movie with weird continuity errors and plot holes.
This is what the former mid-ranking official (Paul Knott), who worked at the British embassy (Moscow) between 2004 and 2007. Has been telling the oligarch owned media.
Fact that they were finding ways to make the room safe, somehow is not entertained that the supermen posing as bumbling assassins despite their manifestly heavy contamination with the said poison managed to live and operate whilst poor Litvinenko was over come with his little sip of the tea and ended up “dying” for twenty three days!!!
It seems that in UK paedophilia is a gateway to high office and high politics, but given the godless commie bastards having no religious imperatives or public schools why should they follow the same gateways as UK? Putin is the product of USSR so why should he be indulging in apparently widespread British habits?
des res:
“I agree that Boris is not very nice”
Are we talking about his hair, his Tory politics, his running of London, his accent?
He is a UK version of Donald Trump, a caricature of fatuousness, hiding competence.
Hillary Clinton, the witch, is his principal election aide.
Nope it is not 1930s revisited and this time it not the immigrants, asylum seekers and Muslims.
Obviously these have not been made to wear a cloth star so don’t count!!!

“There are concerns the wristbands make them clearly identifiable and could single them out for abuse.”

I have noticed that all sorts of people – from hip bankers to spotty teenagers – wear all sorts of strange things on their wrist these days.

It is winter right now.
People are protesting in the streets of Chisinau, (Kishinov) where western-promoted oligarch, Vladimir Plakhotnyuk, has seized absolute power. They want to know where the stolen money has gone. But I guess if Plakhotnyuk is physically removed the western media will get some fantasist like Paul Knott to say what a good guy he was and how evil are those who physically removed him. It is the same all over the world.
But this is not like Ukraine, a country where the legally elected President, could be illegally removed, and a NATO puppet government put in its place. The puppet is already there. I do hope the people win this one – but have strong reservations.
So not quite the same as the wearing the Star of David, which had to be displayed on the outside of clothing so as to be clearly visible at all times. Therefore a most silly (and malicious)comparison.
Actually, I think that Fedup has picked up on some sort of a hoax story. Hence the light-hearted tone of my previous post.
Fedup is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he.
Mr Goss
Was there a particular moment – perhaps set off by a particular event or events – when you decided you would become a full-time apologist for the Soviet Union (a mode of behaviour subsequently transferred to Putin’ Russia)?
The excuser of genocide, land theft mass murder, and child abuse and torture, evidently finds light hearted answer because it’s malevolent satanic creed dictates to downplay any similarities of the persecutions past to the current persecutions.
Clearly the pea brained ziomaniac is fishing for links, can’t find the links then goad others to come out with them, purely to pass on to the hasbara HQ for the usual treatment, that has been the trend for the duration of the last few decades!
As I already had pointed out, the cloth star is not the same as the current branding of the asylum seekers, will be the argument and as validated by the brain farts of the acting rabbi.
No Becky, maybe it was because he’s Netanyahu’s brother in law and did not want to let on.
Or he sent us a signal from his local priest, letting us know that Abramovitch had nothing to do with it whatsoever.
“Mr Goss

Thankfully I have never been an apologist for Zionists or torturers. I think my support for Putin grew from reading your comments. 😀
Talking about paedo’s. What kind of infrastructure or plans have we prepared to ensure the safety of 5000 young orphans here in paedo paradise?
Sure the BBC will be at hand to let us know that everything possible will be done to help these children.
There are no signs of Harvey Proctor coming back to blighty, however much publicity he gets by the Murdoch press, slagging off the police who they’d once paid, allegedly, for being too hard on the establishment lovies and PIE lovers nationwide.
usually what happens when anyone alive and accused is discussed in the MSM, a court case is pulled out and highlighted, showing how this filthy lot has come from abroad, nothing to do with us Gov.
I fear for the future of the children under G4S and Serco, They should be looked after Syrians with experience and understanding, not social workers who can’t cope with their own children’s problems as it is, hallo Norfolk Children Services.
Cameron is still refusing to play Ball with a rota regime, he ought to leave, because he’s making a hash of it, nobody in Europe will give his reforms the time of day, period, he’s done and dusted.

“If you don’t like freemasons, and stitched-up government, you won’t last long in a system dominated by freemasonry.”
I knew a few people who have fallen foul of the freemason’s and they ended up having their life destroyed. And one good friend who was a lawyer who refused to join, his practice was finished.
The are not as benign as some people think.
“US Media “good guys” vs “bad guys”.”
Leo Strauss’s favourite entertainment, at least publicly acknowledged enertainment, was “Gunsmoke”.
Goodies and baddies comboys, white hatted and black hatted, for the slower members of the audience.
This is the world view he wished the masses to adopt.
A later version of religion.
Even what are otherwise very smart people often express simplistic views such as this when addressing international affairs or sociological issues, for example.
They haven’t studied the issue themselves so just repeat what they’ve gleaned from mass media.
They don’t want to appear ignorant. They want to present themselves as informed, but all they know is what media is telling them.
Ironically, issues are often presented as horribly complex as well, you barely have a clue who all the players are, or where on the map they are.
You just give up and couldn’t care less.
But, you do know that X is the current baddie, and that must be the reason for the whole kerfuffle.
Very very successful.
“They are not as benign as some people think.”
I criticise my work, my family, my life, my government, other people’s governments, what I wear, how I look, where I’ve failed, commenters on this blog, MSM, Israel, USA, Canada, UK, Australia, China, Russia, what other people believe, the judiciary (click on my blue highlighted name on this comment) and a whole host of things in need of criticism. It does not make me right of course. Strangely enough, of all the Freemasons I have known to be Freemasons, and as I have mentioned before mostly good men in my opinion, I cannot recall one of them ever criticising Freemasonry as a craft, apart from those who have written disclosures, William Morgan, Jacob O. Doesburg and Walton Hannah, for example.
That might be of course because it is beyond reproach. Or it could be because it is so sinister nobody dare criticise it from within.
In fairness I have heard John Spencer-Davis say he would like Grand Lodge to waive its sexist ban on women, and question before becoming a freemason, but I do not regard that as real criticism. I should be interested to hear from any masons who are unhappy with the craft.
“Goodies and baddies comboys, white hatted and black hatted, for the slower members of the audience.”
I’m risking it with this. So I hope you all have a sense of humour. You missed out the brown-hatters Herbie.

Apologies to Walton Hannah. He was not a Freemason. But he knew a lot of Christian freemasons and based his disclosure on their evidence.
Don’t complicate it, Goss!
Actually, Hollywood faked a lot of things, including “leading men”.
Many of these guys were rent boys before hitting the big time. There’s a very dark and sordid history behind the US movie and music business.
If they can fake that, they can fake anything in media.
And, as we know, they do.
Media has always been the key to control.
