Fox News has recently directed an audacious and highly compassionate act of humanitarian interventionism towards the UK.
Yes; they have tried to (further?) discredit the Labour Party by concocting a document by Harold Wilson that appears to demonize his own party.
At first I thought they were attempting to deal the final coup-de-grace to an ailing social-democratic party that was not sufficiently politically correct for the Fox party line.
But then I realise that I had merely ended inadvertently concocting yet another far-left liberal media conspiracy theory. Actually, they were just being “fair and balanced.”
Anyway, coup-de-grace is a deeply un-American French word. Do you really think that Fox News would be that disloyal to the immaculate “national interest” of the Universal Beltway Mafia?
I once presented a letter to Lyndon Johnson expressing my displeasure at the unpleasant rationalizations of the Vietnam War that were being perpetrated at the time. I crisply summarized my judgment as follows:
“I think it is balls.”
Now there are those who criticize the Tories. Why just this May, they were out on the streets, protesting against the cynical deceptions and misdeeds of this party. I should have liked to be among them.
But I assure you that if Miliband had been elected, my ghostly shade should also be wandering abroad like Hamlet’s ghost, denouncing and condemning the hellish and demonic misdeeds of the Party I once loved, and that is now, to me, unrecognizable.
No one is denying that the Tories represent corrupt, cynical, warmongering opportunism. But the possibility of a double standard among at least some of the self-styled protesters presents many interesting possibilities for speculation.
Well, I do wonder how many of the protesters would be prepared to protest against the following.
The malicious and murderous imposition of a whipped vote to ensure victory for the warmongering motion against citizens of countries occupied by the Islamic State.
The indirect violence against UK citizens enjoined by the same; given the at least theoretical possibility of blowback.
The promotion of Trotskyite rape culture, shaming, silencing and intimidation by the extremist SWP on UK campuses.
Economic terrorism (i.e. the deliberate attempts to impoverish and starve to death citizens of other countries by means of sanctions).
The racist, Westerncentric “International” Criminal Court, or Court of Eugenic Justice, which exists in order to prosecute (or persecute?) people who are deemed “racially incorrect.”
Many individuals in Labour do oppose, indeed despise these things. They could not be more correct.
But it is a certainty that a Miliband government wouldn’t have raised a peep of protest about all or most of these, unless I have grossly misjudged the upper echelons of the party… or dare I say, “The Party?”
Now I am quite sure that if Labour had been elected, it wouldn’t have changed the fact that we have been undemocratically committed to an Orwellian thousand year war, in the grand old Tory style.
Labour politicians would continue to deliberately destabilise the Middle East, and place all of us in danger of our health, wellbeing and our very lives (not unlike the Tories).
Labour politicians would continue to beat the drums for war, and sacrifice the lives and wellbeing of soldiers and their families in the name of The Greater Good (not unlike the Tories).
Civilians and non-civilians of “politically incorrect” constitutional orders in other countries would still be subjected to forced starvation and penury under Labour (not unlike Tories).
Corrupt and unaccountable global and regional institutions would continue to funnel the wealth of other countries into the pockets of Labour politicians or their chums and business comrades.
Now the latter noble task does indeed appear to be something Tories would be inclined to perform, I am quite sure.
Yes, now there has been some criticism of all of these from some individuals who identify as “left-wing.” But there are no significant “left-wing” parties in the UK, however defined, who consistently oppose these.
