[…] of neo-con apparatchick Michael Ledeen, should be setting the agenda for the second President Bush came as no surprise; that there was such a continuum through the Clinton years perhaps should. Depending now on a Sunni ‘arc of moderation’ has simply inflamed the area further, with Pakistan, now destabilising, at the fulcrum of this […]
[…] Later on we bump into speculation on the pro-Nazi sympathies of the Kennedy family (mildly interesting), L. Ron Hubbard, Otto Skorzeny, and David Icke’s view of Bill Clinton, George Bush and the Skull and Bones Society. The illustration are particularly good. I liked the photograph of the flying saucers used by the Luftwaffe in […]
[…] that a light bulb needs to be changed; one to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed; one to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb; one to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for darkness; […]
[…] New Labour has a particular coordinating role precisely because it can credibly plead the moral high ground as the reformed centre-left. To use the language of the Clinton New Democrats, it ‘triangulates’ and captures the centre-ground for atlanticism. These accidents of history have thus seen several parallel movements emerge, all promoting universal values, of […]
[…] disguise as the UN; the UN plot to take over America; the documents distributed apparently showing the US government planning concentration camps; the coming American Reich under Clinton – the whole ridiculous kit was somehow supported by the Waco slaughter. But where is the fusion here? As far as I can tell, the US […]
[…] structural problems with the American political system (which we know is perfect and sacrosanct). Even the Democratic Party, the victims here, are afraid of it. Obama and Clinton appear to believe that the next presidential election will be just another election; it might be fiddled at the margins by what we might call ‘ordinary […]
[…] courtesy of Ed Balls – but we do not seem have an account from Brown of why he made this journey. It may simply be that the Clinton Democrats persuaded him that there was no alternative if he wanted to get elected; but it would be interesting to know. For all that Brown has […]
[…] White House multi-millionaires to help create a reliable ‘successor generation’, a fitter Ronald Reagan might today have cause for a chuckle. The Labour administration his successor Bill Clinton came to smile upon in May seems safely in the hands of an elite well-groomed in the ways of Atlantic cooperation. Tom Easton is a freelance […]
[…] (who had been a British diplomat in Washington and whose brother had been Thatcher’s foreign policy advisor) had nurtured a close relationship with Sydney Blumenthal in the Clinton White House, before becoming Blair’s Chief of Staff at Number 10. This Washington connection was central to the secret channel of communication with Sinn Fein, via […]
[…] and work round the faulty IT system installed by another group of whizzo ‘consultants’.(3) However you think of New Labour – neo-cons, Thatcherites, careerists, emulators of the Clinton Democrats – their outstanding feature has become their utter incompetence. Across almost the entire spectrum they persist with policies which are demonstrably not working. Thinking kindly, […]
