Craig Murray censored for attacking Alisher Usmanov, potential Arsenal chairman

07-09-2007 21:27

Craig Murray's web site host has pulled an article on Alisher Usmanov with this reason:

September 6, 2007

Usmanov Redux

You may have noticed that the post regarding the less-than-salubrious nature of Alisher Usmanov has disappeared. This is at the instigation of Schillings, lawyers retained by Usmanov to brow-beat anyone who dares to show Alisher's true colours.

Pending legal advice which - as web host - I am unable to obtain prior to tomorrow, given Schilling's deadline and in light of Godfrey v Demon Internet, the post may or may not reappear. In the meantime, it is always now somewhere on the web. If you know where to look, you'll probably find it.

Cheers

What will happen to Pegah now?

07-09-2007 15:39

Unfortunately it is easy to read the minds of Gordon Brown and
Jacqui Smith in this moment. They are angry because the problem
of the arbitrary and unjust deportations has come to light.
I hope I'm wrong, but the history of persecution generally repeats
a pattern. I believe the UK Government is once again studying
a way to refuse Pegah asylum...

NWO wet dreams fall apart at the seams

07-09-2007 12:35

http://tinyurl.com/yt2gwa for A3 version
To get a real grasp of just what the NWO is up to (basically eradication of up to 80% of the world's population 'by any means necessary') it is necessary to delve into the deepest horrors of psychopathy. Start here:-  http://www.pehi.eu/
Meanwhile, to neutralise their sick hold over the world it has become vital to investigate their self-admitted 'gigantic hoax' (quote: Nicky Rockefeller, Oct 2000).
