Reality-based community

Via the NCADC, the New Statesman proposes an investigation with a difference.

It has suggested five ideas for in-depth investigation, including Tory Party funding, lobbying and asylum. You can vote online and the winning idea will be investigated. The asylum investigation would look into the fact that ‘many whose applications have failed leave them destitute on the streets with no access to benefits.’ I’ve voted for that and you should too – the treatment of asylum seekers in this country is a crime and a scandal. Solidarity with immigrants and making the asylum system humane and accountable should be the priorities for the left in my view.

The NS opened a comment thread below its proposals so that readers could suggest ideas of their own. Now, this is where it gets a bit silly.

Here are some of the submitted ideas.

The power of theJewish lobby in British politics and media.

The truth behind 7/7.

The real purpose of the DNA data base and themaster race/programmed death/birth.

What NWO technology isbeing tested in South Wales, which is suiciding young people.

Why are the British police failing to prosecute Tony Blair for treason and war crimes.

The extent of Freemasonary within the British establishment.

Why did MI6 fail to monitor and investigate massive spikes in ‘put-options’ prior to 9/11.

These are all from a commenter called Carl Jones, who later expands on his choices:

You may have watched The Matrix, I watched it with my son. I thought it was just a film, but while chatting with a City type, he used The Matrix as an analogy. The star of the movie is given a choice between two coloured pills, one pill will allow his life to continue as it is….like 99% of the British public today, the other pill brings reality, a reality far removed from the illusion spun by our NWO and its client media.

He then asked Martin Bright to put these suggestions to the vote. Bright replied:

Carl – we are leaving the original five up for a reasonable time and then we will make a decision about adding some more.

None of your suggestions yet qualify as they are not serious enough.

Luckily someone called ‘gcarth’ hit back with a rousing defence of Jones’s claims.

Well, I can see at least two or three of Carl’s suggestions that are really at least as important as those five you suggest.

Why shouldn’t we discuss the subject of trying Blair for war crimes? That’s a pretty serious and a valid argument isn’t it?

Why shouldn’t we discuss the power of the Jewish lobby in the media? They do seem to have disproportionate power in economic and social affairs as in the US.

Another topic might be who and where are the moles in the media? Before you say I’m paranoid, I might remind you that ex-intelligence experts have asserted this, not me.

And Jones has another friend, ‘Pencils’, who defends him point by point. Note, though, that s/he concedes that Carl’s idea about the use of New World Order technology to ’suicide’ young Welsh people needs a little more work.

‘None of your suggestions yet qualify as they are not serious enough.’

That is EXTREMELY supercilious.

1. ‘The power of theJewish lobby in British politics and media.’

That is a serious enough point for a list of senior academics and surgeons, to put their names to a call for an investigation.

2. ‘The truth behind 7/7.’

Is Martin Bright saying that the truth about this is now known, that there are no oddities about the official story, like the coincidence of a training operation for a terrorist attack with the real thing, same as 9/11. I freely admit I’m not up to speed on all this stuff, but I’m sure a lot of your readers have encountered questions, so would you not think it serious, if you feel that all questions have been answered, to share it with your readers?

6. ‘What NWO technology is being tested in South Wales, which is suiciding young people.’

I agree that this would have to be supported ‘more extensively’ to be considered serious.

7. ‘Why are the British police failing to prosecute Tony Blair for treason and war crimes.’

Are you serious that this isn’t serious?

In summary, Carl’s suggestions are at least 90% serious, and 70% ripe, even urgent, for discussion.

Derek Bennett’s point too – there have been enough reports to show conclusively that EU membership has been, and will continue to be, a disaster for the UK. What needs discussion is why it is impossible for anyone who asserts UK interests to get anywhere in our political culture.

Finally Martin Bright made a final plea for sanity:

Please be sensible. I am talking about ‘investigations’. Trying Blair for war crimes does not qualify. The influence of the Jewish lobby is pure anti-Semitism. The 9/11 idea is pure bonkers. Please keep within the realms of reality

 Don’t hold your breath, Martin!
