UK Foreign Secretary calls for "Pro-American Regime"

Krop | 01.12.2010 13:13 | Other Press | World

Hague said whoever enters 10 Downing Street as Prime Minister soon learns of the essential nature of the relationship with America. He added, “we want a pro-American regime. We need it. The world needs it.”

Is the Relationship Still Special?
----------------------------------

¶6. (C/NF) The DCM asked Hague whether the relationship between the UK and the U.S. was “still special.” Hague said he, David Cameron and George Osborne were “children of Thatcher” and staunch Atlanticists. Speaking more broadly, Hague acknowledged that this was a hard question to answer. Politicians, in his view, “sit at the top of the pyramid” of the general public and it is unclear whether the British people will maintain the network of ties to America that has sustained the special relationship. For his part, said Hague, he has a sister who is American, spends his own vacations in America, and, like many similar to him, considers America the “other country to turn to.” Asking his Senior Advisor her views, Helic (who is Bosnian), said, “America is the essential country.” Hague said whoever enters 10 Downing Street as Prime Minister soon learns of the essential nature of the relationship with America. He added, “we want a pro-American regime. We need it. The world needs it.”

MI6 chief: We need intelligence operations to stop Iran developing nuclear weapons


[propaganda alert]

28 October 2010



1) MI6 chief: We need intelligence operations to stop Iran developing nuclear weapons (28 October 2010)

2) UK Foreign Minister: We will continue to lead the way in imposing tighter sanctions on Iran (6 October 2010)

____________________________



“The risks of failure in this area are grim. Stopping nuclear proliferation cannot be addressed purely by conventional diplomacy. We need intelligence-led operations to make it more difficult for countries like Iran to develop nuclear weapons.”

[MI6 Chief Sir John Sawers’ “Britain's Secret Frontline” speech to the Society of Editors, Canary Wharf, London, 28 October 2010. This is the first ever public speech by a serving Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS).] [1]




“[A]s long as the Iranian nuclear programme is pursued in defiance of the world and without a clear peaceful purpose, this country will continue to lead the way, as we did this summer, in imposing tighter sanctions on Iran both at the United Nations and in the European Union. Those sanctions are beginning to bite”

[UK Foreign Minister William Hague's speech at the annual Conservative Party Conference, Birmingham, 6 October 2010] [2]

How Low Can They Get?

01.12.2010 14:40

The British Government is already referred to as 'America's Lap Dog' around the world. Of course, most British 'subjects' do not realise that the US MIlitary is using Britain as part of it's 'defence shield' ... those American Nuclear Missiles make us a first strike target if there were any confrontation with Russia. We have been on the 'American Frontline' since the 'Cold War' again something most people don't seem to realise.

It is all about 'America's Interests' not ours. Of course, politicians that lick-up to the Americans get 'special treatment' for services rendered. Moral destitutes like Tony Bliar and Gordon Brown, it seems that the goofy new PM and his sidekicks are following the same path.

Politicians from across the board in British politics seem to think American interests, or Israeli interests or European interests and Banker's interests trump the future wellbeing of the people in Britain everytime.

British Paliament seems to have been turned into a political bordello, the whore house of the world! The new redlight district that puts Soho in the shade and David Cameron is the new pimp. I shall have to go and lay down for a while, all this has made me feel quite queezy.

Thanks to WIKILEAKS...

01.12.2010 15:32

People all over the world should by know be thankful to the organisation
wikileaks and there great work.

Especially in relation to the dangerous and hegemonic world control
by the USA and its corrupt leadership.

The amounts of lies that is being produced in Washington
D C is simply incredibly, among other things the fact that they spy
on there allied countries, through the SIMAS programme.

And of course the revelations regarding the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan by wikileaks is a great help to all
democratic and decent minded political activist all
over the globe.
