Tony Blair

A Downer On Tony Blair

I have had a few emails pointing out that I seem to be rather fired up these days - particularly over Tony Blair and the war in Iraq. And there have also been questions concerning the direction of my "men's rights" activism.

Well, hopefully, what follows should answer all those emails in one go!

1. Tony Blair is not only a charlatan and a liar, he has caused a huge amount of misery to many people - especially to men. And I really do believe that the world would turn out to be a far better place if this man and others like him were publicly dethroned and punished. His behaviour has been nothing less than disgraceful with regard to the Iraq war, with regard to his support of policies designed to stir up trouble in his own country - e.g. excessive and uncontrolled immigration - and with regard to his support of policies designed to stir up hatred towards men.

Remember: This feminist-dominated man prosecutes men in the UK without objective evidence that a crime has been committed, and he bombs countries without enough evidence to justify such an action.

He is not a nice man.

In essence, that is who he is!

And the final straw for me was the completely untenable blanket denial by his cabinet colleagues - and, hence, him - that they have not increased the likelihood of terrorism - nor increased the support for Al-Quaeda - through their behaviour over Iraq - e.g. see Fantastical Lies. 

In my view, this demonstrates very clearly that he and his cronies would rather see the lives of many more people seriously damaged or destroyed - and, by doing so, likely promote an even greater escalation of hostilities - than take even an inch of responsibility for their many blunders by admitting that they have erred.

At the very least, the situation in Iraq can provide evidence and justification which extremist Muslims can use very effectively to persuade others to join them in their jihad.

This must be blatantly obvious to Blair and his cabinet colleagues, but they still continue lying in an attempt to divert the public's attention away from their own culpability. And they do this even though this will increase the likelihood of further terrorism.

It clearly does not matter to these selfish self-serving politicians if more terrorism takes place as a result of their behaviour. What matters to them is maintaining their own lofty positions.

In other words, their continuing self-serving behaviour could be positively catastrophic for very many people indeed.

And I, for one, will never forget this.

And neither should you!

Furthermore, the amount of damage that he and his cronies have done to our democracy has been enormous.

Not only can we no longer trust those people who run our government - even when it comes to terrorism and war -  the overwhelming evidence shows that they are, in fact, completely untrustworthy.

Furthermore, we know that Tony Blair and his like-minded cronies do not actually believe in democracy. They are aiming to rule the world through some massive form of communist empire controlled by an effectively untouchable governing elite wherein those who govern can get away with just about anything, and they are aiming to do this at our expense and without being accountable even for the deaths of thousands.

They are clearly very greedy self-serving people indeed. And they will do whatever it takes to further their own ambitions.

And even though many westerners - including my good self - are not feeling particularly friendly towards Muslims at the moment following the recent London bombings, this does not alter the fact that Blair and his cronies have behaved abominably over the Iraq situation, that they continue to do so, and that they are currently making matters worse by aiding those who are keen to incite more Muslims to terrorist action.

And, while on the subject, here is what Tony Blair is now (July 25th) telling the world ...

"Let us expose the obscenity of these people [the terrorists and their supporters] saying it is concern for Iraq that drives them to terrorism. If it is concern for Iraq then why are they driving a car bomb into the middle of a group of children and killing them?" 

... But Tony Blair actually bombed Iraq! So, how is his 'concern for Iraq' expressed any differently from the suicide bombers in Iraq?

In essence, what difference is there between them?

He goes on, ...

"We are not going to deal with this problem, with the roots as deep as they are, until we confront these people [the terrorists and their supporters] at every single level - and not just their methods but their ideas."

... And how is Tony Blair actually confronting the ideas of these people? Well, almost unbelievably, he is actually 'confronting' them by providing the extremists with even greater fuel with which to buttress and maintain their ideas! - viz; by doing the very things that they are protesting about!

In other words, he is not 'confronting' their ideas at all. On the contrary, he is actually confirming them!

(Take it from me - an obsessive activist - if I was an associate of Osama Bin Laden, I would be hooting with joy over what Blair has done over Iraq. And all the security services, MI5, MI6, CIA, FBI etc, agree with my point of view. All of them!) 

Furthermore, Tony Blair also told the world that there was ... "no justification for suicide bombing whether in Palestine, Iraq, in London, in Egypt, in Turkey, anywhere. In the United States of America, there is no justification for it. Period".

But yet there is, apparently, every justification for Tony Blair to kill thousands of innocents in Iraq!

Suicide bombers are evil, but pilots who drop bombs from the air are heroes!

Goodness me.

And Tony Blair is the prime minister of the United Kingdom?

This is the man speaking on behalf of his people?

This is what Brits are, is it?

This is what the world is supposed to believe about Brits?

Brits think that bombs dropped from the air are fine but that suicide bombers are evil.

Brits think that invading Iraq on the basis of phony evidence was justified and that this should in no way incite any Muslims to retaliate. And if they do retaliate then they must be evil.

What. A. Mess.

In a nutshell: Tony Blair is a very dangerous man, in many ways. His attitudes, his behaviours and his rhetoric are making the situation even worse. And he has got to go.

2. Right across the world, the attitude of the people towards the Iraq war is changing. In America, for example, support for the Bush strategy has gone down from some 70% to about 45%. 

This change in attitude has arisen because of what is going on in the mainstream media and the internet. As I said in my Gaea piece, the media, loosely speaking, make up the 'brain' of the organism that is society. And if the media change their attitude, then society changes its attitude.

3. Some 80% of political activists operating in the media are men. As such, this change in attitude toward the Iraq situation is the direct result of the men's movement in action.

The general public in the UK, of course, continues to be swayed by the most trivial of seemingly positive gestures. For example, the fact that Tony Blair flew back from the G8 meeting in Scotland to London in the wake of the bombings in order to offer his sympathy to the victims and to make his various speeches of defiance against the terrorists is still seen by the majority of people as some kind of evidence that Tony Blair is 'in touch with his people'. The truth, of course, is that this was an international media opportunity that only a fool of the highest order would have passed up. Most politicians seeking public attention would have given up their eye teeth for such a golden opportunity to boost their ratings.

Furthermore, in Tony Blair's case, being 'in touch with his people' might be better rephrased with the words, 'knows how to manipulate a crowd."

Take it from me, if Tony Blair had thought that his cross-country flight would not serve his own political ambitions then he would not have undertaken it, no matter how many people had died in the London bombings.

For example ...

...

British Military Casualties Ignored Britain's casualties keep on arriving; an average of four men and women a day since war began. Families who feel ignored point out that the Prime Minister has yet to visit a single injured soldier in a British hospital. Observer January 2006 

...

And, of course, with regard to Iraq, the opposition Tory members of parliament are not daring to oppose Tony Blair. 

There are three main reasons for this.

a. The Tories voted for going to war against Iraq. And even though many of them have been critical of Tony Blair and of how the events transpired, their initial support for the war makes it very difficult for them to make too much fuss about any of its consequences.

b. The Republicans in America have not been too enamoured recently with their traditional allies - the British Tories. And if the latter were to speak up against Tony Blair's handling of the Iraq situation - and, hence, Bush's - then the antagonism between them would likely grow much worse.

The Democrats in America tend to give considerable support to Labour politicians in the UK, and the Republicans do the same for the Tories. And the Tories simply cannot afford to lose support from their American counterparts - especially given that their opponents in the Labour Party are getting a fistful of it - and, currently, from both the Republicans (thanks to Blair supporting the war) and the Democrats!

c. Tony Blair has managed to infect much of the population with a kind of nationalistic war spirit with his rhetoric of 'us' and 'them' - 'them' being "Muslim fanatics" - and it is therefore very difficult for any Tories to attack him at the moment without being politically vulnerable to the accusation that they are being traitors to their own country by not being sufficiently subservient to its leader in times of trouble.

And so it is that these ripples of discontent over the war in Iraq will probably die back again; flattened partly by Tony Blair's genius at manipulating the people, partly by the impotency of the shambolic Tories, and partly by the fact that the attention span of the public is very limited and easily distracted.

Nevertheless - and here comes the important bit - the facts surrounding Tony Blair's appalling behaviour throughout the Iraq war will be logged very firmly into the heads of thousands of enthusiastic political activists - and these facts will serve as ammunition against the UK's governing elite for some considerable time to come.

As such, even future historians are not likely to portray Tony Blair or his cabinet colleagues in a very positive light.

4. The ripples against 'the government', in general, are also growing. Western men are beginning to see how badly they, in particular, are being served by their own governments.

And some kind of awakening is gradually taking place.

In other words, the men's movement is definitely growing.

And its power is currently being demonstrated by the changing attitudes of people to the war in Iraq.

Of course, the war is not particularly identified by political activists as a "men's issue" (though it should be) but there is definitely a greater intermingling going on between the thoughts of "men's rights activists" and the thoughts of other political activists.

And as these political linkages - these neuronal connections - continue to develop - especially in cyberspace - the men's movement will start to be driven forward by an ever-increasing number of highly active political activists.

And some time in the future, there will be thousands of highly active and effective political activists (and journalists etc etc) who are conscious of being 'men' - as opposed to being anything else - and who are also aware of how badly they are being treated by certain groups.

As such, the highly active and effective activism that they undertake in many areas will be influenced increasingly by their views on issues of direct concern to 'men'.

The following graphics are a simple representation of what I am trying to say.

The men shown in the pictures are the active political activists who affect the thinking of others. There are thousands of them, in all walks of life and in all areas of activism. 

And their degree of blackness in the picture represents how concerned they are to employ their activism in areas of concern to men.

In the first picture, there are very few activists concerned with men's issues. And the vast majority of activists are concerned wholly with other matters.

In the second picture, only a few more men have become dedicated to political activism on behalf of 'men', but - and here is the important bit - thousands of other active political activists are beginning to wake up to men's issues and directing at least part of their activism towards them.

And, at some stage, this activism on behalf of 'men' will bite the powers-that-be very hard.

How long it will be before there are thousands of such political activists who will be influenced significantly by issues of concern to men, I do not know.

But I know this.

They will, eventually, exert a mighty and ever-growing force.

And they will be the only force capable of stopping the planet-wide communist nightmare that people like Tony Blair and his like-minded cronies are trying to inflict upon us - something which we know they are doing on the basis of lies, dishonesty, unaccountability, the destruction of democracy, and a continual stirring up of hatred towards men.

Putting all this another way: When many thousands of highly active and effective political activists finally begin to see themselves as 'men', their activism will be of huge benefit to the Men's Movement - to say the least - and it will be the cause of great misery to many politicians and officials who have been responsible for the many ills that men face. 

Nevertheless, do not think for one minute that most of those deceitful worms will not be able to wriggle their way out of serious trouble. They have much with which to defend themselves; money, power, resources and good connections. As such, they will simply accommodate to the negative cluster bombs that are thrown at them. However, they will, in fact, accommodate in a way to reduce the damage from them. And this means that, on balance, they will move in the direction that the cluster bombs 'suggest' - which is, of course, their very purpose!

An important point to note, however, is that Tony Blair and his cabinet colleagues will likely soon be singing a different tune in order to avoid further damaging political fallout - i.e. a threat to their own power and their own personal ambitions - not because they have any commitment to telling the people the truth.

5. I am increasingly of the opinion that politicians and lofty government officials who seek to damage men or who preside over policies which do the same thing need to be targeted heavily on every issue and failing where it is legitimate to do so - whether or not the issue in question is recognisably a "men's issue". And I would like to see the growing men's movement doing the same.

I would like such people to learn that if they undermine men that they, too, will be undermined, and that if they support policies which stir up hatred towards men then this will be reflected directly back at them.

In other words, not only do I want to see them getting large doses of their own medicine, I also want them to understand that there is a growing army of men who will aim to remove them from power - and more - using any legitimate tactics that they can unless their attitude towards men changes very considerably.

And so, for my own part, as an activist based in the UK, I will go at them and go at them and go at them until there is established an equivalent government minister and a government department catering for Men as there is, currently, for Women, and until such time arises that government officials stop stirring up male hatred with their lies and their phony propaganda - e.g. concerning sex-assault and domestic violence - and until such time as the justice system is wholly reformed in such a way that it is no longer stacked against men.

And I hope to infect many highly active and effective political activists with the very same notion!

6. Tony Blair is an actor and a fake. 

He has an outwardly appealing and pleasant personality which he has cultivated for some three decades for political purposes; and, as a result, he is able to charm people into supporting him.

He is also a master of spin and deception, and his primary aim is to feather his own nest.

And the only way to keep people like him in check is to make their 'lapses' very costly in terms of their own ambitions.

Remember George Orwell: "It is no use appealing to their sense of honour or justice. The only thing that they respond to is the threat of losing some of their own power."

Well: The fact that Tony Blair and his cronies are clearly prepared to encourage further terrorism - and, hence, further tragedy - rather than admit to their mistakes, simply in order to maintain higher public approval ratings, is a cluster bomb that activists will be able to lob at them for YEARS!

DECADES!

Remember: It is not just me who is saying that the situation in Iraq has made the likelihood of terrorism greater. Just about all the professionals and the experts are also saying this.

And this will eventually suggest very strongly to millions of people that Tony Blair and his cronies are - on top of everything else - very actively LYING over an extremely serious issue.

And this, in turn, adds weight to all the evidence suggesting that they have been lying through their teeth all along.

And - perhaps even more importantly - all the above will help to show the public just who these people really are.

And when the public does, indeed, begin to realise who these people really are, many of them will begin to feel a great deal of heat.

And in 25 years time, when Tony Blair's looks have faded, and when his ability to act and deceive has declined, and when he looks just like a tired old man - unable to charm anybody - his only defences will fall away from him; and he will be left facing the facts.

And one very important fact will be that he and his cabinet colleagues increased the likelihood of tragedy for others by persistently lying to their own people simply in order to maintain a higher rating in the opinion polls.

He will never be able to escape this fact. 

And neither will his cabinet colleagues.

Indeed, there is probably now very little that Tony Blair can, in fact, do to improve matters when it comes to terrorism. His very continuation as prime minister is, in and of itself, enough to help incite terrorism in the minds of those who are close to inflicting such a thing.

After all, he might be able to bamboozle the public at home, but in the eyes of millions of people across the world he is - rightly or wrongly - a murderer of Muslims who has been caught lying time and time again - over all sorts of matters.

And so for the sake of his own people he should resign. 

Indeed, he should have resigned a year ago.

But this man has no integrity. And he has no intention of giving up on any of his personal ambitions.

7. In the eight years in which Tony Blair has been prime minister, the UK government itself has become far more corrupt and dishonest than ever it was before. It has been caught lying and deceiving time and time again in all sorts of areas. The number of policies directed at disempowering and disadvantaging men and fathers has increased enormously. And such anti-male policies have been implemented right across the board; from family and relationship matters to those concerned with employment.

Tony Blair has also presided over a government that has both allowed and encouraged excessive immigration to take place and that has handed over to the European Union more of the power of UK citizens - and, hence, men - to govern their own lives. 

Tax rates have increased to fund the growth in the power of government and so have the costs of compliance with governmental regulations - the upshot being that some 50% of one's earnings are now either appropriated directly by government or have now to be necessarily expended by businesses and, hence, the people in order to comply with its wishes.

And, of course, as far as London is concerned, the city is heavily congested with traffic - despite the fact that motorists now have to pay a charge of £8 merely to drive into the city during the daytime - and there are now bombs exploding on public transport!

Tony Blair has been an absolute disaster when it comes to the well-being of men.

In general, of course, the policies implemented by Tony Blair and his cronies are mostly designed with one aim - to increase their own power - and the power of government - at the expense of everyone else. 

And excessive immigration, terrorism, war, the breaking down of families and relationships, fatherlessness, crime etc etc are a boon to these people - a boon surreptitiously manufactured mostly by themselves. (e.g. see The Governing Elite)

And so, all in all, therefore, I would say that people like Tony Blair are not only very legitimate targets of the Men's Movement, they are clearly some of its most deadly of enemies.

People such as these actually profit from the problems that they are causing to men, and, indeed, from the societal discord that they are encouraging within their own country. 

And, in my view, they know this.

These people who have laboured for years to get to the top of the political tree cannot have failed to notice where their power - and, hence, their wealth - actually comes from, and how it might be added to. And they clearly need to be tackled very strongly because they are pushing us all in a direction that will do us great harm.

And they are doing this to profit themselves.

...

So. There you have it.

I hope that the above explains why I have currently got a rather heavy-duty downer with regard to Tony Blair. That man has significantly affected my life very negatively in a number of different ways. And the same is true for most men living in the UK - especially for those who live in London.

And, take it from me, there is far worse to come.

The only good news is that Tony Blair and his ilk are well and truly in the sh#t. They just do not realise this yet. The reason for this, fundamentally, is that they continue to underestimate the amount of power that they are losing to others. And now, thanks also to their huge ongoing blunders over the Iraq situation, the amount of pressure that the men's movement will be able to exert over these people in the future will be positively enormous. As such, I hope to see western politicians soon working to appease the men's movement by catering to many of its demands.

And if they fail to do this in the near future, then they will likely find themselves being battered by a psychological tsunami that will land them in some very serious trouble.

The graphic has darkened!

Finally - changing the subject somewhat - the great speed with which the UK police seem to be progressing with their enquiries into the London suicide bombings surely justifies much of my attitude towards CCTV, ID cards, DNA testing, email surveillance - and what have you. As long time readers will know, despite being something of a libertarian, my belief is that people - including the authorities - should be able to access a great deal of information about others;  e.g. see ...

A National DNA Database?

Information is the Key

Total Information Awareness 

Who's dishing out the anthrax? 

... I think that the benefits would be huge. And the only point that I would like to stress here is that, unlike many other pressure groups, the men's movement has little to fear and much to gain from the greater spreading of information.

The complete opposite is true, however, for liars! - such as feminists and most of those currently sitting in the high offices of western governments.

Blair's Wife Cashing In Accusations that Cherie Blair has been "cashing in" on her husband's position are likely to lead to an inquiry into the conduct of the spouses of ministers.

Tony Blair's Lies Exposed Again Attempts by Tony Blair to deny a link between the occupation of Iraq and last month’s London bombings were further undermined yesterday by the leak of a letter by a top diplomat.

+ The Foreign Office's top official warned Downing Street that the Iraq war was fuelling Muslim extremism in Britain a year before the 7 July bombings, The Observer can reveal.

Yes indeed. The evidence just keeps mounting and mounting; and there is now a huge mountain of it.

Tony Blair will do anything that he can get away with in order to maintain his position. It does not matter to him if terrorism increases as a result of his actions.

His only concern is to further his own ambitions.
