Lockerbie - now you see it, now you don't

Danny | 24.09.2009 11:41 | Other Press | Terror War

I started writing these comments about the reactions to Al Megreahis release to an article that has now been deleted. I've had two IM-UK articles hidden already but I don't want to self censor so I'll post them anyway, people who read hidden comments will see this.

It is unlikely that an intelligence officer would use the cover of being a satanist.
UK and US security services are highly interlinked and don't need dodgy go-betweens, though that may be a useful cover.

Alexander and Jones run three .com websites, zurvana, boycottScotland and now boycottLibya. I posted that to IM-UK but was hidden, and some of the evidence I used was deleted from their social networking and those internet sites the day after my IM-UK post. I'd hoped that a few folk would follow the links and see the leads and see the stuff I didn't mention too. I also posted it in the comments section one of the online Scotsman articles on the boycott story, and after my IM post was deleted my Scotsman account was disabled. That suggests a warning email from Alexander that they caved in to, because it was rereported by others elsewhere after and those articles still stand (so far).

I got that initial information from a basic query every journalist knows when investigating websites, and the rest from basic queries any techie journalist would make, so I was surprised that nobody had reported it. It normally gets reported by some outlet and all the other media check just in case they can rubbish the story I thought about offering the story to journalists but I decided it would be better here or MediaLens or wikileaks, and IM seemed most appropriate.

What I've been able to find out about this pair doesn't tally with this article, but wouldn't contradict it either. I was pissed off that neither IM-UK or the Scotsman would explain the reasons for hiding my posts since I was happy to be sued in any court, so I emailled the Libyan Embassy to let them know what I know.

This is a bizarre extension /side-show to the biggest trial in history, an obviously politically manipulated mistrial that helps explain the inner workings of empire. This started with fake evidence being planted but not the bullshit is flying thicker now than ever.

Norvello said "Hmm. Obviously it takes a conspiracy involving David Cameron / the FBI / CIA / the funders of the IRA / Murdoch to paste together a poxy single-paged website containing a daft rant about Scotland."
No it doesn't.

It does require some thinking to explain why this was such a big story in the UK and the US media and politicos - Clinton and Obamas comments for example - nobody was able to point out on even wee activist sites like this that it was just a poxy single-paged website containing a daft rant about Scotland (and the UK, and now Libya) by an emotionally-broken, intellectually challenged individual. The factory I served my apprenticeship in was shut down the next week despite being profitable so that the work could be moved to the States. The rhetoric is being backed up by economic warfare and so the rhetoric must be tackled.

It is worth pointing out that when the media was filled with these stories of US and UK leaders criticising MacAskill over the past few months, the US and the UK were already training Libyan special forces and police in exchange for oil and the US and UK oil companies were already running contracts in Libya.

Today, the main story in Scotland for the few folk still paying attention, is 'Lockerbie Justice Group calls on Angiolini to resign over Megrahi comments'. Typically, it is in a legal magazine not an activist website that is calling for Scotlands Lord Advocate Elish Angiolini to resign, but it is in the nature of legal magazines to be circumspect and it is the nature of my posts on IM to be hyperbolic, and I would say E Angliolini is Scotlands 'J Edgar Hoover'. The Crown Office in Edinburgh should be abolished and investigated by other police and independently by the populace. In my personal conspiracy theory, they are one of the levers of power worked from Washington.

Another article by a brilliant female lawyer called Gareth Peirce appeared in the London Review of Books last week which is worth a read:
