The verdict? Guilty, sort of By William Bowles
One is tempted to hold off saying anything until the loathsome Alistair Campbell, chief propagandist for the Blair government does his pitch at the Hutton ‘enquiry’ today. However, of far more importance than what he does or doesn’t say (after all, the cat’s out of the bag anyway), is how will the Blair government deal… Continue reading

Dr David Kelly, the real deal: preserving the integrity of the state By William Bowles
17 August 2003 It is instructive as well as fascinating to follow the convoluted trail of disinformation and hyperbole in the government and the media’s attempts to transfer the blame from one individual to another in the agenda of diverting attention from the central issue, namely why we went to war. Continue reading

Dr David Kelly, loyal foot soldier of the state By William Bowles
Far from being troubled about the impending invasion, Dr David Kelly could just as easily have been troubled by the use of ‘evidence’ that “takes away from the case for war.” In other words, Kelly’s statements can be interpreted as continued support for the war but that he objected to the way it was being… Continue reading

Discovered! Shoal of Giant Red Herrings By William Bowles
The government’s propaganda campaign to scare the populace into accepting an unacceptable war, has, with the grovelling complicity of the media, including the so-called liberal arm of the press, entered a new but depressingly familiar phase. Continue reading

The Death of Dr David Kelly: Dark actors – dark forces? By William Bowles

The Death of Dr David Kelly: Murkier and Murkier By William Bowles

The Death of Dr David Kelly: Opening a can of worms By William Bowles
It is being suggested that he went through some kind of ‘sea change’ last year during his frequent visits to Iraq as part of the Unmovic inspection team and that he was convinced that Iraq had indeed, destroyed its CBW weapons. According to an unnamed analyst quoted by the Independent, he became disillusioned with the… Continue reading

Mind your language! By William Bowles
In this critical situation, as the Imperium girds its loins in preparation for the next round of recolonisation, it’s important that we keep our eye on the ball. Will the Kelly affair divert us rather than inform us? I can already see the questions; ‘Did he jump or was he pushed?’ What is clear is… Continue reading

Blair into Blah doesn’t go: anatomy of a con By William Bowles
The fake Niger documents reached both British and US intelligence agencies, who no doubt verified that they were fakes but apparently neglected to tell anyone. The documents sat around, probably until sometime in early-mid 2002 when, at least according to high-ranking US intelligence officials, they came under intense pressure from the Bush administration to include… Continue reading
