By John Ward: The Independent/IoS group remains, as I posted last week, way out in
front when it comes to the ethical meltdown in our culture, and the
disappearance of anything even remotely resembling the rule of law. Tom
Harper’s piece at the IoS today is testament to that assertion – and what an exemplary piece of investigative journalism it is.
The lead makes the following points with admirable brevity:
1. Clearly, Leveson was doing the Establishment’s bidding from Day One.
2. The NotW and senior Met officers were in regular contact
throughout the enquiry in order to ensure there were no crossed wires,
and that Leveson would dismiss anything his masters didn’t like.
3. Leveson prosecutor Robert Jay lied about when he had sight of one
especially damaging Met report detailing Met/NotW collusion on leaks and
testimony.
4. A very senior Newscorp hacker was at the centre of both the original collusion and its cover-up…but he remains at large.
5. It is clear that an inquiry set up to rid Britain of the Newscorp –
Met Police – Tory Party relationship did not do so: in fact, it
knowingly covered it up.
From here we are, of course, led back to meetings between David
Cameron, Rebekah Brooks and James Murdoch; Boris Johnson and Rupert
Murdoch + Rebekah Brooks in the London Mayor’s office; the link between
Plebgate leaks from the Met to the Sun; the attempt to spike the Met
Police Hackgate investigation from the Mayor’s office; the growing
evidence of faked crime figures upon which Mayor Johnson based his
reelection campaign; and above all….the extraordinary eleventh-hour
attempt by Leveson himself to pretend that the main criminals in the mix
were bloggers.
It’s hard to imagine a more total, brazen and clumsy stitch-up than
this one. But still the electorate’s dead sheep slumber through their
daily dose of soma*, blissfully oblivious to the destruction of our
British civilisation by those who have somehow landed on their feet from
The Planet of the Apes.
Yesterday, one whose opportunistic intervention in all this became
the most effective all-time distraction weapon passed on to another
place where the playing of billiards is strictly forbidden. You cannot
defame a dead person. This may well open more sluice-gates from the
cesspool. Stay tuned.
*Soma was the magical substance used by the authorities to calm down the voters in Aldous Huxley’s classic novel of the future, Brave New World.
Huxley’s depiction of infantile ‘sex games’ in the book is especially
fascinating given Britain’s denialist attitude to Establishment
paedophilia today.
