The fascist bomb factory you won't hear about

leninology | 12.10.2006 14:30 | Anti-racism | London | World


This story was never reported by the mainstream UK national media, why?

"Police officers raided a home in Lancashire on Monday night and uncovered a huge cache of chemicals used to make explosives. Officers say it is the largest haul of such chemicals ever found in this country. One man has already appeared in front of Burnley magistrates charged under the Explosives Substances Act 1883. Another man has also been charged after a raid on his house uncovered rocket launcher and a nuclear biological suit.

"You'd have thought this would be national front page news, wouldn't you? After all the hype, at last we have solid evidence of terrorists attempting to perpetrate a murderous outrage on the population – prosecutors say the pair had 'some kind of master plan'.

"Except, of course, that the men charged are not Asian Islamists, but white fascists. Robert Cottage, who has been charged for the explosives haul, stood for the BNP in Colne at the last elections."

What with the Lecomber hit man incident and now this it is obvious that somebody at the top regards the BNP as useful idiots. Why else has there been no press coverage, maybe they need them to help spread anti-islamic propaganda to soften up the public in preparation for a final confrontation with Iran and Islam ????????

Because there are reporting restrictions in place and a little matter of sub judice.

Very useful to someone or another

Sub judice only works in Amerika, unless a judge orders reporting restrictions (obvioulsy he didn't - it was in the local paper and the Times).
If the papers didn't pick up on it, it's because they're fucking lazy and they wait for a police press release to tell them where to look for news.
But this time I guess the police didn't want to 'inflame community tensions' or whatever nonsensical phrase they use these days.

But what do you reckon this BNP geezer was doing with all these chemicals, was he going to a lone nutter action? Or was he going to take the risk of getting caught by acquiring, and pass them on to someone futher up the chain for some deadly media stunt. And that old question again: Who would benefit?

Fascists are useful idiots indeed.
The fact they've obviously something wrong inside, added with their lack of connection to the real world makes them perfect stool pigeons when someone smarter decides that something's going to burn. The security services are known to use them as informers and agents provocateurs, not just against other fascists, but in all kind of areas where contracted state employees fear to tread...

Fuck, my head hurts...
