Back in the USSR By William Bowles
The ‘evil empire’ is no more. The end of an era and the start of a new one? Not exactly, as the events of the past decade or more testify, for whatever one’s views of the Soviet Union and the various socialist ‘flavours’, it can hardly be said that the world is either a better… Continue reading

More, or rather, less on the ‘Civil Contingencies Bill’ By William Bowles
Amazing isn’t it, a bill which if passed, that along with the 2000 Terrorism Act, pretty well entrenches total state control over the citizen, barely gets a mention in the media. The BBC in its News at One programme yesterday (25/11/03) didn’t even mention it as being included in Queenie’s speech. Later, on PM News… Continue reading

Law ‘n’ Order By William Bowles
Marx saw the state as ‘whithering away’ with the building of communism (as opposed to the state under socialism, which is a kind of ‘interim stage’ between capitalism and communism). Moreover, Marx was quite specific about it. Under communism, the state becomes a government of ‘things’ as opposed to a government of people. Continue reading

Weapons, Media and Politics – an evil ‘axis of interests’ By William Bowles
Carlyle is a who’s who of the right-wing elite both here in the UK and over the pond in the US, with former Prime Minister John Major as a director, George Bush Snr and his Secretary of State, James Baker, as advisers, and it’s headed by Frank Carlucci, Ronald Reagan’s Defence Secretary. Continue reading

Intel – al-Qu’eda – The War on Terror: Destroying the Myths By William Bowles
24 November 2003 Several related issues on my mind on this grey, London morning as I contemplate the latest ‘news’, scan the headlines and peruse my (overflowing) mailbox and all are, in some way, related (except the weather). Continue reading

Georgia, Velvet Underground in Overdrive by Edward Teague
24 November 2003 — The New Dark Age I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to Continue reading

The Police State is Here By William Bowles
As predicted here, the government is introducing its own version of the Patriot Act. Innocuously entitled the “Civil Contingencies Bill” if passed it abolishes civil rights of all kinds under the cover of the ‘war on terror’ and an “emergency”. And was Cooper’s ‘innocent’ remark made in the light of the fact that he knew… Continue reading

Book Review: Getting to the meat of Skull & Bones By William Bowles
What constitutes a conspiracy? Well first off by definition it should be a secret. According to the chapter by Ralph Bunch, ‘Secrecy and our constitution: Whom do they serve?’ conspiracies are factions, minority factions that see all non-members of the conspiracy as opponents and their secrecy is to prevent all opponents from even knowing of… Continue reading

Report from Propaganda Central By William Bowles
22 November 2003 “The West wakes up to the extent of Al-Qu’eda’s reach – franchised by Al-Qu’eda” That was how Channel 4 News opened up last night’s broadcast (21/11/03). But I must say I’m impressed as it pretty well sums up the relationship between the imperium and Osama’s global ‘franchise’. Osama is the New World Continue reading

Provocations By William Bowles
Was the bombing in Istambul a provocation? Before you accuse me of joining ‘conspiracy central’ consider that the CIA were tied directly to the terrorist group that bombed the US barracks in Beirut in 1982 through funding their operations and the use of provocations to destabilise and/or as a reason for intervention has a long… Continue reading

More on the Bush-Nazi connection By William Bowles
Awhile back I touched on the connection between the Nazis and the Bush family fortune as part of the review of the book “The People as Enemy”. And I also referred extensively to it in “Frauds ‘R’ US” as well. Then a big piece was published in the New Hampshire Gazette a couple of weeks… Continue reading

Numbers By William Bowles
Do marches change anything? Well aside from charging one’s batteries by being part of a culture that belongs to you, probably not, but I don’t think that’s the point. The state most definitely notices, that’s why they constantly underplay the numbers. Continue reading

“Coercive Democratisation” By William Bowles
“Coercive Democratisation”. Wonderful description isn’t it. It’s from the mouth of a former White House advisor now fucking up students’ heads at Oxford University, as heard on the BBC’s 10pm news (19/11/03) on Radio 4. It must be a first, where invading a sovereign state and occupying it, and then going on to kill around… Continue reading

Surprise-Surprise By William Bowles
Not surprisingly, this week the Blair government has announced the second highest ‘terrorism alert’ since 9/11 as a prelude to the visit by Bush the smaller. And like all the ‘terrorist alerts’ its vagueness verging on the mystical, allows the security state to cast its net very wide indeed. So much so that visitors to… Continue reading

The Media’s Double Standard By William Bowles
I’ve often referred to the strategy that is the core of the ‘new’ imperialist agenda, the so-called ‘double standard’ articulated by Robert Cooper, now Blair’s pro-consul in Afghanistan. And although cloaked in ‘post-modernist’ phraseology, effectively, it’s a rollback to an earlier, imperialist epoch, a time when the Western world went unchallenged, aside from the occasional… Continue reading
