Ian Hislop is the editor of the small circulation 'satirical' magazine 'Private Eye', in the U.K. Hislop has manufactured a television persona for himself as a fearless exposer of the truth and avowed enemy of hypocrisy. Ian Hislop has also expressed righteous anger in several well publicised articles, concerning censorship and the gagging of the press by super-injunctions. But it was the recent allegations against Julian Assange which most exercised Mr. Hislop's liberal ire. Ian Hislop finds the allegations of rape and Assange's alleged links with an anti-Semite, deeply disturbing. Disturbing enough for Hislop to publish several articles in 'Private Eye', which suggest Assange is a closet misogynist and Jew hater.
So it came as something of a surprise to discover that 'fearless' Ian Hislop is a little more forgiving of misogyny and anti-Semitism, if the guilty party happens to be police informer and MI5 Agent Provocateur, David Myatt. In fact even child murder is forgiveable, if the magic words, 'a matter of national security' are used by powerful people.
The article printed below is available at various locations on the internet ('Liberal Conspiracy', 'ATS' etc.). Google 'Assange and Private Eye'. It shows that Hislop is denying justice to the victims of the Admiral Duncan, Brixton and Brick Lane bombings. Hislop has done the very thing that he claims to despise. In the full knowledge that bomb victims and their families are often crippled by emotional scars, and are unlikely to be in a financial position to take on the might of the Government, Hislop has in effect put a 'super-injunction' on evidence of a major mistake by the security services. Not only will the victims have no access to justice, it is also the case that nobody will know they are being denied a fair hearing.
If Ian Hislop hadn't been so pious in his condemnation of Julian Assange, he wouldn't have laid himself open to charges of double standards. When confronted with evidence of David Myatt's lethal and disastrous career as an Agent Provocateur employed by MI5, Hislop censored the truth - just like all the other 'hypocritical' mainstream news resources that Private Eye pillories in every issue.
Shame on you Ian.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
“Lots of people are trying to smear Assange. Here is proof of their hypocrisy.
'Private Eye' is a magazine which expresses a particularly strong moral dislike of misogyny, anti-feminism, holocaust denial and anti-Semitism – in public that is. Behind the scenes at 'Private Eye', things are rather different.
'Private Eye' appeared to be so obviously concerned that Julian Assange might have caused harm to women and Jewish people, I took them at their word and wrote to Ian Hislop. My letter warned of something far more dangerous and sinister than Assange's alleged crimes.
For decades, a police informer called David Myatt has been churning out hate material and spreading it all over the internet. Not on hidden 'Darknet' sites and not even anonymously. It is all published under his own name and is easily obtainable from any of Myatt's numerous hate sites. Here are a few archived samples.
http://web.archive.org/web/20051022170345/...nations.org/reichsfolk/hrising.html
“It is no coincidence that those at the forefront of the campaign for so-called "feminism" are Marxists and Jews. Indeed, the whole "women's liberation movement" was the creation of Jews....”
http://web.archive.org/web/20051120093838/...-nations.org/reichsfolk/essays.html
“This society is founded upon the Zionist hoax, or illusion, of 'racial equality', This was the hoax of the Jewish 'holocaust'.”
http://web.archive.org/web/20060114151623/...an-nations.org/reichsfolk/hoax.html
“There are several excellent reasons why the story of "the Jewish holocaust" is a fictional tale - a product of Zionist propaganda - and why the so-called "evidence" which is produced, and which has been produced, in support of this story is suspect or false.”
Strangely, 'Private Eye's abhorrence of anti-Semitism and its pious concern for the defence of feminists, evaporated completely as soon someone other than Assange was being accused. 'Private Eye' didn't want to run the story and no, they wouldn't even publish a letter on the subject.
So it seems Holocaust denial and misogyny are not the real issues for 'Private Eye'. It is Julian Assange himself that they disapprove of.
But why is all the hostility aimed at Julian Assange and not David Myatt? Read a little further and you will begin to see that 'Private Eye' is a bit more pro-establishment than it would have us believe.
David Myatt is a police informer, with alleged links to MI5.

The authorities' failure to arrest this man, even though he has published illegal hate material for thirty years, certainly supports this assertion.
My letter to 'Private Eye' explained that the hate sites are used as 'honey traps' to attract extremists for the purpose of ID theft. The information is then passed on to the authorities. The problem with this strategy is that, although some extremists are prompted to attempt acts of terrorism by the material, they are not always caught in time. This is what happened in London in 1999. David Copeland, heavily influenced by David Myatt's hate material and his bomb making manual, set off a series of nail bombs before he was caught by the police. An unborn child and its mother and many others, were killed in these attacks. At the time the security services said that the police informer was not under surveillance, so they could not have prevented the loss of life. Yet more than a decade later, David Myatt was still publishing his dangerous nonsense and nothing is done. So it looks as if the bomb victim's families were lied to in 1999, because David Myatt is an informer and they knew exactly what he was up to.
It is amazing that the security services trust Myatt to do anything, he is such a profoundly unstable character.

But 'Private Eye', the magazine which promotes itself as a fearless exposer of truth, wont touch this story. They wont even allow any mention of David Myatt in their letters pages. Yet Julian Assange is pilloried in every issue of the 'Eye', over allegations which at present haven't even been tested in court.
Could it be that for 'Private Eye', Holocaust denial and manslaughter are O.K. If MI5 says it is?
Some very lucrative careers in the mainstream media have been launched on the back of 'anti-establishment' satirical magazine 'Private Eye'. Next time you see a rich little guy on TV 'defending to the death' our right to free speech, just remember it doesn't extend to the unborn child who was blown up before it had a chance to live.”

sounds like conspiracy theory to me...?

As for Julian Assange and Wikileaks, they do an excellent job and Assange is a highly focused computer genius, but that does often go hand in hand with poor social skills. No doubt the establishment have over-exaggerated it to discredit him, but maybe Private Eye thinks it is an interesting story? I'm not quite sure why though, when the stuff that Wikileaks uncover is far more of a bombshell.

That said, Ian Hislop and many of his staff, especially Ratbiter, aka Nick Cohen, only see what they want to see.

The crucial sentence in the article is this -
"At the time the security services said that the police informer (Myatt) was not under surveillance, so they could not have prevented the loss of life. Yet more than a decade later, David Myatt was still publishing his dangerous nonsense and nothing is done."
The chances of the security services 'overlooking' Myatt a second time are virtually zero. So it looks very likely that 'Private Eye' have been told not to touch this one.
