Timing, old boy, timing: ruined careers, missing Prime Ministers, death of a journalist.

Since we are to have a Judicial Inquiry into the wicked Press, shouldn’t we also have one into wicked politicians? 

Journalists can be nasty, and newspapers beastly, but their misdeeds are as nothing set beside those of governments.

Governments also hack into phones, poke their noses into our personal affairs and misuse the information they obtain.

Peter Hitchens, the Daily Mail, 17th July 2011. Daily Mail, 17th July 2011.

There is a war going on internally, with the elites of the world. It is not our war, except in the sense that it is happening in public, so we perceive it. 
The Elite of the world are not a monolithic group either in membership or methodology: they are divided at times not on ends but means and strategy, and occasionally, like through a glass darkly, we are allowed a fleeting view. 
However whatever the punch line of this fracas, there will be no good in it for NO-ONE other than THEM. Both sides are commited to the same outcome, which will mean more death, mayhem rape and pillage for US ALL. 
For the UK, this is a battle between the "liberal" and "conservative" faction for control. The Labour Party, Guardian  and  BBC is ranged against the Tories and News International. 
That;'s certainly how it appars. 
But there is something deeper: 
WHERE ARE MURDOCH's friends in all of this. NO-ONE is speaking for News International or Murdoch. And yet Murdoch is a Papal Knight and one of the most openly commited ZIONISTS within Western media circles. Where are for example the US neocons, whom Murdoch did so much for over 20 years? Where are the Jesuits, ot the spokesmen of the Vatican? Where are his Jewish Zionist neocon buddies in the NY media set?

Times of India: 19th July 2011

LONDON: The News of the World crisis turned severe after UK's top police officer and one of his deputies resigned following allegations of taking favours from an ex-editor of the publication. Stephenson, London's metropolitan police commissioner at Scotland Yard, took responsibility for his force appointing Neil Wallis, a former deputy editor of News of the World, as a public relations adviser. 

Pointing a finger at Cameron, Stephenson suggested the PM risked being "compromised" by his proximity to former NOTW editor and Cameron's media director until January, Andy Coulson. "Once Neil Wallis's name did become associated (with hacking scandal), I did not want to compromise the PM in any way by revealing or discussing a potential suspect who clearly had a close relationship with Coulson," said Stephenson. Coulson is currently on bail. 

Where's Cameron? Skulking abroad in South Africa: 

The Metro: 19th July 2011

The odds on the prime minister leaving office plummeted after he came under fire for leaving for the trip on Sunday night and for his links to News International.

Mr Cameron is today due to return early from the planned four-day visit to Africa, and faces an emergency extra session in the House of Commons tomorrow.

Labour frontbencher Yvette Cooper said it looked like ‘one rule for the police and one for the prime minister’ – a reference to Sunday’s resignation of Met boss Sir Paul Stephenson over the scandal.

Sir Paul had aimed a barb at Mr Cameron’s ties to shamed former News of the World editor Andy Coulson, who was employed as the prime minister’s head of communications in Downing Street.

Labour backbenchers Dennis Skinner and Sir Gerald Kaufman called for the prime minister to quit. ‘When is dodgy Dave going to do the decent thing and resign?’ Mr Skinner asked.

Labour leader Ed Miliband refused to call for Mr Cameron’s head. It was, however, time for the prime minister to ‘apologise’ for employing Mr Coulson, he said. Deputy prime minister Nick Clegg said Mr Cameron should ‘absolutely not’ resign.

He added: ‘Let’s keep some perspective. The fear that people have is that a criminal investigation could be jeopardised by the contact between the police and media.’

Downing Street said the Africa trip was beneficial in drumming up British business opportunities. And Mr Cameron insisted he was taking ‘all appropriate action’, such as setting up a judicial inquiry into the hacking scandal.

‘I have been out there in parliament and in press conferences, fully answering the questions, fully transparent, very clear about what needs to be done,’ he added.

MPs will today quiz News Corporation chief Rupert Murdoch, his son, James – chairman of News International – and NI’s former chief executive Rebekah Brooks over phone-hacking and police corruption allegations.

Bookmaker Ladbrokes yesterday slashed the odds on Mr Cameron leaving office from 100/1 to 8/1.

 

Freedom and liberty in the UK press is dying.

Comment: I am CERTAIN that in the near future there will be "privacy" legislation, which will be the start of a Department of Censorship, no doubt known as MiniTruth to anyone who has read 1984. It will ostensibly be there to protect the families of murdered schoolchildren, maimed ex soldiers, and others whose private grief shouldn't be impinged upon. 

However this will not really exist for this purpose but to protect the WEALTHY, the POWERFUL, and the WICKED from the press. It will make such items as the recent superinjunction affair, involving Members of Parliament, dolly bird chasing  Footballers etc. much more difficult for the UK press to report. 

But this is not the MAJOR reason for the Fall of the House of Murdoch. 

There is a great deal of worthwhile speculation in this piece, and I highly recommend the blog from which I republish this from, if you want to see the filthy, depraved real world of political activity in the UK. 

World’s End Shouldn’t Cost Freedom of the Presshttp://order-order.com/2011/07/10/worlds-end-shouldnt-cost-freedom-of-the-press/

Guido has read the News of the World since he was a paperboy in West London over 30 years ago. Those who don’t read it think “The Screws” is all titillation, randy vicars and soap stars. It is that and also great popular campaigning journalism at its best, reflecting the concerns of people other than Islington Indy readers.
Politicians, the corrupt and evil feared it, today is a good day for them. Unfortunately when the drive to get the story crossed over into illegally hacking the phones of victims of tragedies, the good guys became bad guys. It has always been the case that the best stories often have a dubious legal provenance involving deception, subterfuge or law breaking, that is done to get at the truth that wrongdoers are hiding. Investigative journalists everywhere, including this blog, do it because it is the only way to get the truth. Using the dark arts to sell more newspapers with ghoulish tales is, as many have said, disgusting and unacceptable.Momentum is building for press regulation, politicians of all parties are keen to tame the feral press. Public opinion is shifting towards them. This would be a mistake. The rich and the powerful in this country would like nothing better than to have a craven and beholden press. In many countries this is exactly what they have and ordinary people are worse off for it. Privacy laws are a trojan horse for censorship.Privacy from intrusion by the state or journalists who break the law by stealing photographs, hacking, climbing over the wall into your back garden, that should be protected. Privacy laws should not be a means to hide embarrassment for those who can afford to hire Schillings. That way lies an untouchable ruling elite.In the end Murdoch closed the News of the World because he feared an advertiser and consumer boycott (plus to try take the heat off the Sky takeover). If you disapprove of a newspaper don’t buy and read it. That is simply the most powerful restraint you have on newspaper proprietors in a free democracy. Even Rupert Murdoch fears his customers.Restrictive press laws will be circumvented in the borderless internet age, however Guido would rather not have to try to expensively fight the good fight from permanently offshore. Meantime Guido wishes both his friends and enemies at The Screws the best of luck for the future. Oh, and thanks for paying the kids’ school fees.
