Letter to Nick Clegg
Portion of a letter to Nick Clegg from Felicity Arbuthnot
Response to Nick Clegg, UK Deputy Prime Minister | Dissident Voice
A “no-fly zone” is another oxymoron, a total contradiction in terms. It means that Colonel Gaddafi’s “brutal, savage and unacceptable treatment”, has been replaced by our “brutal, savage and unacceptable treatment”, using depleted uranium (i.e., nuclear waste) weapons and blowing Libyan people to bits in their uncounted numbers. (“It is not productive” to count coalition deaths as US Generals, led by General Mark Kimmit, have reiterated.)
The region and peoples will become another Fallujah, with the yet-to-be-conceived, even, born with deformities, often making them unrecognisable as human infants. Headless, limbless, organs on the outside of the body, one cyclops eye, no eyes, no brain — a reality witnessed by the writer over many years.
…
Libya has the ninth largest oil reserves on earth. As Iraq, and as the desire for the vital resources through Afghanistan, no one with half a brain believes your concern for humanity is the real reason. There were no calls from your Party, or the Conservatives, for “no fly zones” of any hue, or for restraint, in “Operation Cast Lead” (Christmas-New Year 2008-2009) as Israel bombarded the people of Gaza, caught, like “fish in a barrel”, to use a term about wanton slaughter, from another US General. That certainly looked like “brutal, savage and unacceptable” treatment, to most observers.
Last July, when you became acting Prime Minister when David Cameron was away, you said, in an exchange with Jack Straw, the previous Labour Foreign Secretary:
Perhaps one day you could account for your role in the most disastrous decision of all, which is the illegal invasion of Iraq.3
This is written on the eighth anniversary of the beginning of that illegal invasion. The invasion George W. Bush declared a “Crusade.” As you embark on the course of decimating another ancient Islamic land for oil – one with an even smaller population than Iraq – another “Crusade” to install another compliant puppet regime, I can only say shame on you all.
Let’s crucify Tony Blair. He’ll love it.
New year, new blog. This blog lived at http://blogs.cjb.net/dissident/ for slightly over five years. Before then I was an activist posting to various politics NNTP usenet newsgroups on issues such as opposition to the Iraq war, Bliar & Co, George ‘Dubya’ Bush, etc. I was very critical of Blair, New Labour, Dubya, the New Labour politician Ian Blair, the murder of Jean Charles de Menezes, etc.
At the blog’s previous location I repeatedly attacked Bliar’s New Labour party. The blog was controversial and attracted links to malware in the comments forcing me to disallow commenting – there was no moderated commenting facility available at that free host. I have no doubt that those posting links to malware were professional and operating in an official capacity. In early December 2006 the blog was somehow mysteriously deleted. It gives me the opportunity to republish some of the better articles.
Here’s a post first published 2 January, 2006. More to follow.
Let’s crucify Tony Blair. He’ll love it.
2006 sees a renewed determination to get rid of the Neo-Con elected dictator, war criminal, deranged and deluded megalomaniacal pathological liar know as Tony Blair. Having lied and lied and lied to support his masters Dubya and Sharon, he has absolutely no credibility or legitimacy. He’s hated just as much as his mentor Thatcher and the War (Labour) Party realise that he is a huge liability.
I’ve often wondered whether we would have to go round on mass to physically drag him out of Downing St. It can be done of course, but there would need a few of us. dissident has come up with an another plan to get rid of the evil b’stard. We persuade Him to crucify Himself over Easter on Parliament Square. He’ll be up for it. He’s such a messianic nutter. He believes that he is the second coming of Christ. He believes that he will rise from the dead a few days later to lead us all (well actually quite a few of us will be excluded) into the Rapture.
Here’s some of Bliar’s messianic garbage from his speech accepting the Congressional Gold Medal for being such an ally in Dubya and Israel’s War on Truth.
Looks like there are two versions of Bliar’s speech. From http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/tblaircongressionalgoldmedal.htm and not from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3076253.stm.
“Members of Congress, I feel a most urgent sense of mission about today’s world. September the 11th was not an isolated event, but a tragic prologue, Iraq another act, and many further struggles will be set upon this stage before it’s over.
There never has been a time when the power of America was so necessary or so misunderstood, or when, except in the most general sense, a study of history provides so little instruction for our present day.
…
And I know it’s hard on America, and in some small corner of this vast country, out in Nevada or Idaho or these places I’ve never been to, but always wanted to go. I know out there there’s a guy getting on with his life, perfectly happily, minding his own business, saying to you, the political leaders of this country, ‘Why me? And why us? And why America?’
And the only answer is, ‘Because destiny put you in this place in history, in this moment in time, and the task is yours to do.’
And our job, my nation that watched you grow, that you fought alongside and now fights alongside you, that takes enormous pride in our alliance and great affection in our common bond, our job is to be there with you. You are not going to be alone. We will be with you in this fight for liberty. We will be with you in this fight for liberty. And if our spirit is right and our courage firm, the world will be with us.”
