Sean Gabb On Liam Fox
Liam
Fox:
Another Zombie Falls off the Roof
by Sean Gabb
It is, I think,
a year since I last wrote anything about British politics. This is not because I
have been idle. During the past twelve months, I have written or published eight
books. Three of these have been substantial novels, and two of the novels are
overtly libertarian. This alone might absolve me from my duty, as Director of
the Libertarian Alliance, to give a running commentary on the issues of the day.
But the real cause is that I am, for the moment, tired of watching how this
country is governed. I feel less inclined to denounce than simply to look away.
What catches my
attention, though, is the case of Liam Fox. He was, until made to resign a few
days ago, the civilian head of our armed forces. Even by the low standards of
British politics, he was useless in the job. His strategic choices were all made
in Washington. His spending choices followed every shift in the balance of power
between multiple and irreconcilable interest groups. Not surprisingly, he
continued sending our men off to be shot at in places like Afghanistan – shot at
for no reason he understood or dared state, and often shot at with no armour on
their bodies and with P45s waiting in their post.
But, if he
caught my attention, he also reminds me why I have mostly chosen to look away.
He is worse than the run of his colleagues because he has blood on his hands. In
himself, he is no worse than any other Minister. They are all stupid or corrupt
or both. This is because every single Member of Parliament is stupid or corrupt
or both – and is this by design. No one else is allowed in. The scandals that,
every so often, end careers and maintain the lie of accountability have only two
causes.
The
first is that someone has broken the deal. If he obeys, he can have sex
with people who would not otherwise look at him. He also gets the chance to puff
out an already inflated salary with bribes and fraudulent expense claims. If he
fails to obey, his previous corruptions are fed to the newspapers. The
second is that many of these people are just like zombies on a rooftop
– every so often, one shambles too close to the edge and falls over. I will
assume that the second applies to Liam Fox – but, if he looks like a timeserver
who would never dream of breaking his deal, I could easily be wrong.
I have no idea
what is to be done about this. I have explained at some length
why things are so awful, and how a patriotic government could make them
better. What I cannot explain is how to get a patriotic government.
Except at the margin, elections change nothing. Only vetted and controlled
candidates are allowed to win elections. Outsiders are either mad in the first
place, or systematically hobbled. Preaching at the powers that be is a waste of
time – these people are not, or do not regard themselves as, our fellow
citizens. They are already getting too much of what they want to be swayed by
considerations of expediency.
Sometimes, I
rather like the idea of a military coup. The problem here is that, while, set
beside the trash who employ them, they are moral and intellectual giants, I have
yet to meet any soldiers who strike me as up to the job of seizing power.
Sometimes, I tell myself that the system will eventually become so obviously
evil, and so obviously incompetent, that it will rot away by itself, and be
replaced by new and voluntary institutions. But I have never believed this
longer than half an hour.
For what it may
be worth, my present view is that things are not yet bad enough to provoke
radical change. Doubtless, anyone brought forward from about 1960, and given
time to see past our electronic toys, would be shocked by what has happened.
Even so, things are still better here than virtually anywhere else. I think it
is the managers of Tesco who claim, on the basis of what they sell, that there
are twenty million illegal immigrants in this country. I know from experience
that you can sometimes walk for an hour in South East London and not see an
English face. But, whatever else may be said about it, the scale of this
immigration – and not only from the usual slagheaps – indicates that we have
some way yet to go before people think it worth pulling Ministers out of their
cars and disembowelling them in the street. By then, I expect that a solution
will have suggested itself. Search me, though, what this will be.
But I return to
the case of Liam Fox. As said, he has not just squandered oceans of our money.
He also has blood on his hands – the blood of our soldiers, and the blood of
foreign civilians. This does not incline me to sympathy. He has directed his
adult life to getting something that he will now not have. He is rather like one
of those male insects who flap and buzz on swarming day, but are not strong
enough to reach and impregnate a female. I have no idea what these unfortunates
think as they run out of energy and fall back to the ground, where they get
their heads snipped off. But I do like to think this man has just enough
intelligence to be unhappy.
I agree that
gloating is not a positive response to the collapse of civilisation in England.
But, until I can think of anything better, I plan to gloat hard and gloat often.
The Real Werritty Scandal Is The Cover Up Run By O'Donnell [ 17 October 2011
]
QUOTE
This information comes straight from a source with direct access
to the Cabinet Office investigation into Fox’s relationship with Werritty.
Gus
O'Donnell
, Cabinet Secretary, has fixed
with Cameron the lines of his investigation to allow him to whitewash Fox.
This will be done by the standard method of only asking very narrow questions,
to which the answer is known to be satisfactory...........
So O’Donnell will announce that Werritty received no
specific money for specific meetings with or introductions to Fox. But the deal between Cameron, Fox and O’Donnell is that
O’Donnell will not address the much more important question of who funded
Werritty and why [ One was a Jew on the make,
Poju Zabludowicz, who runs
BICOM, a mob that lobbies for the murderous thugs who run Israel in
England.
Jon Moulton, a
financier throwing a few quid at place men and
Michael Hintze, an
Australian who served. He sounds reasonable. - Editor ].........
But what is actually
happening is much worse and much more serious. Who paid for Werritty’s
eighteen overseas trips with Liam Fox and his stays in exclusive hotels in the
World’s most expensive destinations? What does he live on?
The answer is that Werritty is paid by representatives of
far right US and Israeli sources to influence the British defence secretary.
It has been discussed within the MOD whether Werritty is being – knowingly or
otherwise – run as an agent of influence by the CIA or Mossad. That is why the
chiefs of the armed forces are so concerned, and why there is today much
gagging at the stitch up within the Cabinet Office.......
That the British Defence Minister holds frequent unrecorded
meetings in the Ministry and abroad with somebody promoting the interests of
foreign powers is much, much worse than a little cash-grubbing. That the
person representing the foreign powers is actually present, apparently to all
as a ministerial adviser, at meetings of Fox with important representatives of
foreign nations is simply appalling.
That we are being so easily misdirected to a narrow cash
question – and that the media have followed that misdirection – is ludicrous [
or complicity - Ed. ].
UNQUOTE
The last cabinet secretary who gave any reason to believe that
he was not a crook was
Robin Butler
aka
Baron Butler of Brockwell,
KG,
GCB,
CVO,
PC.
He told us the truth about Blair -
Lord Butler on Blair.
PS
The self-styled adviser to Mr Fox, whose
close personal friendship with the former defence secretary led to Mr Fox's
downfall, has visited Iran on several occasions and met Iranian opposition
groups in Washington and London over the past few years, The Independent on
Sunday has learnt. Mr Werritty, 33, has been debriefed by
MI6 about his travels and is so highly regarded by the Israeli intelligence
service Mossad – who thought he was Mr Fox's chief of staff – that he was able
to arrange meetings at the highest levels of the Israeli government, multiple
sources have told The IoS........
Yet the access to senior government
figures Mr Werritty enjoyed across the globe suggests otherwise. Mr Werritty,
said one source, worked closely with US-backed NeoCons who thought they could
"bring down Ahmadinejad".
UNQUOTE
The
Independent on Sunday does not suggest that Fox and Werritty are homosexuals.
It is worse, Werrity is helping
Mossad, a murderous bunch of thugs to incite war. Bungs
came from
Poju Zabludowicz, the Jew who runs
BICOM, a mob that lobbies for war on behalf of
Zionist crazies.
PS
Craig Murray asked
the British ambassador to Israel, who is a Jew various important questions -
gould_and_werritty.
He is not going to get answered.
