As corporate media continue to haemorrhage ad
revenue to websites like Facebook, and
credibility to social media activism, dissent
seems to be increasingly viewed as a luxury the 'mainstream' can ill afford.
Where once a handful of dissidents was allowed to
challenge the Grand Propaganda Narratives (GPN)
of the day, modern leftists are tolerated only if
they accept these narratives even as they talk radical change.
A Guardian regular who stands out in this regard
is Paul Mason, formerly BBC Newsnight Business
Editor and Channel 4 News Economics Editor.
Promoted to prominence by the corporate system he
ostensibly resists, Mason reinvented himself as a
vocal left activist who strongly supports Jeremy
Corbyn. Mason now has 377,000 followers on
Twitter, an impressive total for a political
commentator. And yet some of his views are incongruous to say the least.
In a Guardian piece this week, Mason focused on
the latest North Korean missile test, which he
declared 'a clear threat or a clear bluff... So
the question for the world is: how do we contain
the threat and detect the bluff?'
Mason was thus reinforcing the GPN that all
problems are 'our' business, and that 'we' have
the moral credibility to 'do something' about
them. This despite 'our' appalling track record, recognised by Mason himself:
'We've been here before, of course, with Saddam
Hussein in 2003. Then, the chemical weapons
turned out to be a bluff and the biggest threat
to world peace emanated from Washington and London.'
In other words, the same 'we' that needs to
'contain' the North Korean 'threat' to peace was
itself the actual threat to peace in Iraq.
Subsequent Western war crimes in Libya, Syria and
Yemen suggest that little has changed.
In claiming that Saddam Hussein tried to 'bluff'
the West on WMD, Mason reinforced the GPN that
Iraq was more than just a wanton war of
aggression. Instead, Western leaders were
suckered by Saddam's suicidal braggadocio, by 'faulty' intelligence, and so on.
In an unpublished letter to the Guardian in
response to Mason's piece, journalist Ian Sinclair wrote:
'In reality the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq
Aziz told ABC News in December 2002: "We don't
have weapons of mass destruction. We don't have
chemical, biological or nuclear weaponry".
Hussein himself repeated this in February 2003,
telling Tony Benn in an interview screened on
Channel Four: "There is only one truth and
therefore I tell you as I have said on many
occasions before that Iraq has no weapons of mass
destruction whatsoever".' (Email to Media Lens, February 16, 2017)
Not only did the Iraqi government not attempt a
bluff, it was telling the truth.
Mason insisted that Britain should work to ensure
that the response to North Korea is 'restrained,
proportional and done through the UN security
council'. But in claiming, as Iraq, Libya, Syria
and Yemen burn, that the US-UK alliance might
suddenly, somehow act multilaterally and
responsibly - despite its track record of
unilaterally pursuing self-interest at almost any
human cost - he was promoting a GPN.
An Epitaph To Die For
But the really remarkable thing about Mason's
article is the extent to which he demonised North Korean leader Kim Jong-un:
'People like Kim want to be remembered for a
thousand years. And, as the current outbreak of
swastikas on the walls of western cities show, if
it's a phoneix-like [sic] rebirth you are after,
you don't have to wait a thousand years.
'"I triggered a nuclear war with the USA and
reduced South Korea to a toxic wasteland" would
be, for Kim, an epitaph worth dying for. Even
better if he could add, "and I destroyed the
multilateral global order for ever".'
This is another classic GPN: while identity,
location and appearance may change, there is
always a fantastically insane 'Bad Guy' at large
in the world who simply must be confronted by the
West's heroic arms industries and tax-funded
militaries, their budgets grown fat on fear-fuelled 'socialism for the rich'.
We were so shocked by Mason's comment that we
contacted John Feffer, the director of Foreign
Policy in Focus at the Institute for Policy
Studies, and author of several books on Korean politics:
'Would be interested in your thoughts on this
piece claiming Kim Jong-un would be willing to
die to kill 50 million South Koreans.'
Feffer was kind enough to reply immediately:
'no indication that Kim believes such a thing --
narcissists usually prefer self-preservation at
all costs.' (Feffer to Media Lens, February 14, 2017)
Korea specialists Markus Bell at the University
of Sheffield and Marco Milani at the University
of Southern California, commented earlier this month:
'a nuclear attack from Pyongyang appears highly
unlikely. The government is fully aware that it
would incur an overwhelmingly destructive
military response from the US and South Korea'.
We also wrote to Mason:
'What's your evidence for the claim Kim Jong-un
would be willing to die, if it meant he could kill 50 million South Koreans?'
As ever, Mason ignored us.
Why would a high-profile left activist emulate
extreme, hard-right demonising of an official
'Bad Guy', the kind of thing that is a fixture in
The Times, Telegraph and Washington Post? Why
would an activist do this having witnessed the
literally millions of deaths, injuries and
refugees generated by exactly this kind of
cartoon demonisation of Saddam Hussein, Muammar
Gaddafi, Bashar Assad, and others? And why risk
fanning the flames of a conflict that could
consume millions of Korean lives when North Korea
offers precisely zero threat to Britain?
Mason also worked more subtly to breathe life
into the 'responsibility to protect' GPN that has
been a disastrous adjunct of demonising propaganda over the last few decades:
'If the missile crisis escalates, I have no doubt
that by the weekend there will be people on the
streets of western capitals chanting "No war with
North Korea". That's good – but the left has to
realise there is no direct read-off from Iraq to the DPRK.'
This reinforced the theme – tirelessly emphasised
by Perpetual Warmongers like Jonathan Freedland,
David Aaronovitch and Nick Cohen – that the
'mistake' in Iraq should not mean we naively,
selfishly and irresponsibly give up on the
'humanitarian intervention' so beloved of Western
fossil fuel and arms companies.
Bizarrely, Mason suggested that Trump might be
tempted to utilise 'the crisis to launch a
pre-emptive, unilateral strike on North Korea'; a
notion that seems simply preposterous.
Mason's article also fits well, if ironically,
with his views on Britain's own nuclear missiles. Mason said last year:
'I think Labour should vote to keep Trident.'
Why? Because 'Britain does face rapidly evolving
threats': terrorism and 'a newly aggressive and unpredictable' Russia.
The idea that Trident can deter terrorism is as
risible as the idea that Putin – albeit
threatened by a newly aggressive and
unpredictable Nato - is contemplating a nuclear
strike on Britain. Yes, of course there is a
vague theoretical possibility. But it is
invisibly tiny compared to the overwhelming
likelihood that Britain will be subject to
near-term devastation as a result of runaway
climate change. A threat the UK government -
obsessively concerned, as it is, with our welfare
and 'national security' - tries hard to bury rather than address.
Writing in the New York Times this week, Anatol
Lieven responded to the much-loved GPN that is the supposed Russian 'threat':
'There are many good reasons for the United
States to reach conciliation with Moscow on
issues from Eastern Europe to the Middle East.
The real question will be if Washington can
control its own desire for global hegemony enough to make that possible.
'Unlike China, Russia is not an emerging peer
competitor to the United States. Russia is a
regional power struggling to retain a fragment of
its former sphere of influence. Moreover, it
should be a natural ally of the United States in
the fight against Islamist extremism. A reduction
of tension with Russia would allow the United
States to concentrate on more important geopolitical issues.'
This is the kind of sober, non-partisan analysis
one would expect to read from a leftist
journalist. By contrast, Mason again reads like a
hard-right Times or Telegraph neocon.
Mason continued:
'I think it is worth saying: "Fine, spend 41bn
plus on a system that's designed never to be used
militarily but that has kept the peace strategically."'
He was right to add the 'plus'. In 2014, the
independent Trident Commission estimated that the
missile system would have a lifetime cost of
around £100 billion. Conservative Foreign Affairs
Committee chair Crispin Blunt put the cost at
£167 billion. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament has estimated £205 billion.
Mason failed to explain that one might, for
example, argue (although we do not) that nuclear
weapons have helped keep the peace and are needed
now, without backing the white elephant Trident
system. But Mason wants to keep the message
simple: We need Trident! See Ian Sinclair's
detailed rebuttal of Mason's arguments here.
Uncompromised dissident analysis is fast
disappearing from stressed corporate media across
the 'spectrum'. It is time to stop being deceived
and instead work hard to build rational,
compassionate, non-corporate alternatives.

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish
participation in Bormann companies that when
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires.
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen
again because a repetition would permanently
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin
America, as well as with the Bormann
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most
efficient German infrastructure in history as
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
