Chemical hallucinations By William Bowles
I think it’s true to say that the days of creating ‘dodgy dossiers’ are now over, at least if the latest ‘dodgy report’ is anything to go by. Put out by the UK’s Joint Intelligence Committee, it purports to offer proof that Assad gassed his own people. But aside from the fact that it offers… Continue reading

US-Israeli false flag gas attack unravels By William Bowles
Commit a war crime to cover up a war crime? This is where it all started: The Israeli intelligence front the Debkafile, which is the source of the story that implicated the Assad government and/or its military in the gas attack on East Ghouta and now forms the basis for the war on Syria. Continue reading

Syria chemical weapons claim: The BBC just doesn’t give up By William Bowles
Evidently, the BBC was not satisfied with its pathetic propaganda pieces I referred to in yesterday’s article, so it’s come out with another, equally audacious piece of fiction that reiterates, again without any proof, the same drivel it peddled to us yesterday (and the day before). But what ‘UN’s Angela Kane in Syria urges chemical… Continue reading

The BBC’s Syrian Chemical Weapons Coverage: An exercise in Imperial deception By William Bowles
Over the past three days, since the story first broke, the BBC’s news Website (I use the word news advisedly) has carried twelve stories on the alleged chemical weapons attack that took place in a suburb of Damascus. Today’s offerings include, Hague believes Assad behind attack (23/8/13), without a shred of proof that the Assad… Continue reading

Site under attack, but all is well…
13 August 2013 Update: It seems the site has been under a sustained ‘Denial of Service’ or DDoS attack since Saturday. My excellent ISP (who have hosted my site for over 10 years) have installed a raft of security measures over and above the usual array, so hopefully this will do the trick. But because… Continue reading

‘Witnessing’ Boston’s Mass Casualty Theatre By William Bowles
Mention the word ‘conspiracy’ and eyes roll and people head for the exit. Derision is poured with abandon on the heads of those so described as ‘conspiracy theorists’, and especially those who dare to suggest that complex events can be engineered so as to fool the onlooker or the curious. The Boston bombings appear to… Continue reading

Depleted Uranium: The BBC’s John Simpson does a hatchet job on Fallujah’s genetically damaged children By William Bowles
Under the title ‘Fallujah’s children’s ‘genetic damage’ that old war horse ‘literally’ of the BBC’s foreign propaganda service, John Simpson, manages not to mention the phrase ‘depleted uranium’ when allegedly reporting on the alarming rise in birth defects that include cancer, leukaemia and a horrific rise in child mortality since the US demolished the city… Continue reading

Crisis in the Socialist Workers Party reveals a crisis of the left By William Bowles
Hmmm… I’ve been watching the ‘left’ here in the UK tear itself apart literally for decades, and it had been going on for decades prior to my arrival on the scene. What’s difficult to swallow is the attitude expressed below (which I’m reprinting in its entirety), where the writer reacts to the events that are… Continue reading

An uncommon silence By William Bowles
Long time readers will probably be curious as to why I haven’t been publishing any of my own writing since having a heart attack back in April. Continue reading

From the horse’s mouth
20 November 2012 If anyone has any doubts about the racist nature of Israeli society then the following quotes by Gilad Sharon, son of Ariel Sharon should clear the mist from your eyes: “There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving vehicles, nothing. Then they’d really call for a ceasefire,” he wrote.… Continue reading

The BBC and the Imperial mindset By William Bowles
Yes, I know I keep banging on about the BBC but it is such an influential power, not only nationally but also globally, so much so that its pronouncements are most often taken as gospel (objective, impartial, unbiased). Continue reading

Marikana, where the ANC’s chickens came home to roost By William Bowles
The African National Congress (ANC) won a resounding victory in South Africa’s first democratic election in 1994 with a host of promises that it would improve the lives of the Black majority (85% of the population). And whilst there have been gains in some areas, overall, most Black South Africans are materially worse off now… Continue reading

The NHS saved me so now we have to save the NHS!
30 April 2012 — williambowles.info A pathetic excuse I know for no new posts but I had a heart attack last week and got out of hospital yesterday. Story to follow coincidentally? the Media Lens piece soon. Not so much on my experiences with the wonderful, beautiful NHS workers who saved my life and took… Continue reading

William Bowles joins us to discuss the latest on Syria, the massive propaganda campaign that has been unleashed on the Western public, and the real motives behind a rapacious imperial power in supporting, encouraging and arming groups like the FSA and the Syrian National Council to wage war on the government.

Dance of the Infidels By William Bowles
What gives that pompous ass Cameron the right to call for the resignation of a sovereign nation’s head of state? This is the same Cameron who authorized bombing Libya back into the Stone Age. Well of course it’s the insidious ‘Responsibility to Protect’, probably the most successful confidence trick in history and performed in full… Continue reading

Zionism loves colonialism, Zionism is colonialism By William Bowles
I don’t know who Rafael Castro is but surely no relation of Fidel’s? In any case, I thought long and hard before posting this attempt at revising the traditional view of anti-semitism being the same as being anti-Israeli and it’s obvious why: it doesn’t work. Hauling out the ‘Holocaust’ every time Israel behaves like the… Continue reading
