Real History and the unwanted mass immigration into Britain The Index to the Traditional Enemies of Free Speech Alphabetical index (text) [some images and captions added by this website] Tuesday July 19th 2005, 1:04 pm Kurt Nimmo, Another day in the empire [ source ] IN Britain, if you don’t like the truth, you simply have it censored.
That’s what Tony Blair is attempting to do, as ace researcher Wayne Madsen reveals . “Sir Jeremy Greenstock was Britain’s ambassador to the UN in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq and its aftermath,” writes Madsen. “He has written a book, The Costs of War , castigating the war and the U.S.-led Iraq occupation authority of L. Paul Bremer . David Irving comments: I HAVE sympathies for none of the creatures in this particular fable.
So Mr Sanctimoinious Blair has decided to use the laws of defamation, or more likely the Official Secrets Act and the pledge signed by Foreign Office staff, to gag a high-ranking diplomat and stop yet another leak. But I never liked Greenstock either: his simpering, toothy, ingratiating appearances on news programmes as he justified to the United Nations and to television viewers the slaughter of a hundred thousand innocent Iraqi civilians will long fester in my memory.
If he knew these things at the time, the correct and honorable step would have been — not to write and peddle a book in the hope of making a quick cash profit — but to resign; instead he allowed the slaughter and war crimes to continue. He is as guilty as the rest.
Emulating some of the world’s most insidious dictators, Prime Minister Tony Blair has ordered Random House (UK) not to publish Greenstock’s book, demanding the removal of several pages critical of Blair, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw , and the Bush administration. Among the censored pages are those that describe how the Bush administration attempted to manipulate the UN Security Council as a virtual rubber stamp for the war.
Greenstock also presents a stinging criticism of Bremer and Condoleeza Rice . Greenstock also calls the Bush administration’s reasons for the Iraq war ‘politically illegitimate.’ His revelations about the war bolster the information disclosed in the Downing Street memos.” Can’t have that, of course. So Greenstock’s book is off to the chopping block.
Not that it particularly matters — the Downing Street Minutes are a dead letter now, buried under a ton of offal generated by the compliant corporate media, most notably the calculated muddying of the waters surrounding the dirty trickster Karl Rove and a bit of distractive fluff emanating from the Harry Potter Juggernaut thrown in for good measure.
