she was on Galloway's RT show today re the gilets jaune
She's been on his show at least once before where her dad's career was presented as evidence of her credentials. On this one which was mercifully short she says Le Pen supporter Diana Johnstone, who she most likely hobnobs with, describes 1968 as 'the intellectual's revolution'. There's a peculiar edit when she goes on about violence which I suspect is to cover her whinging about antifa ejecting her far right comrades from demos, as she's done on another show - "the antifascists are often the most fascist of the lot."she was on Galloway's RT show today re the gilets jaune
And then said this in the next one a week later, apparently accepting that her people are present. Some intra fash beef going on I suppose.I am yet to find a recording of a GJ spreading hate speech about any of the factions mentioned by Macron.
It appeared to be very difficult to identify the Casseurs. and to know whether they belonged to Antifa an alleged anti-fascist movement with suspected funding from notorious philanthrocapitalist, George Soros; or to far-right factions that have also piggy-backed the GJ marches to promote their agendas; or whether they were agents provocateurs despatched by the French state to discredit the GJ movement, guilt by association.
A British thinktank established to investigate propaganda has recruited a blogger accused of disseminating Russian disinformation about the war in Syria.
The Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media counts a number of UK academics as members and claims to conduct “rigorous and independent research” and “provide a source of reliable, informed and timely analysis”.
The group has so far reported on the poisoning of Sergei Skripal, chemical attacks in Syria and a British organisation that counters Russian propaganda but its findings have been described by experts as “speculation”, “distortion” and “in the realm of conspiracy theorists”....
...The group has recently added a number of new “independent researchers”, all of whom have no journalistic or relevant academic qualifications but do have a history of echoing Russian disinformation narratives. One of them is a British blogger called Vanessa Beeley.
She has been described by the Guardian’s former middle east editor Brian Whitaker, as “the Syria conflict’s goddess of propaganda”, and has played a central role in Russia’s attempt to discredit humanitarian workers in the country....
Calling the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media a “Think Tank” is insulting to Thinkers, but they do have a positive relationship with tanks, particularly those with the official Putin seal of approval from “antimperialist” imperialists....
Some of the topics that will be covered at the event will include: ‘Russiagate’- allegations of Russian meddling, hacking and collusion with Trump; False narrative on the war on Syria; The Magnitsky Act; Iran, Saudi Arabia, and what’s not been reported on Yemen; Venezuela, and the Yellow Vests (Gilets Jaunes); Media & false consciousness,” The speakers are Craig Murray, Former UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Ray McGovern, Former CIA Analyst, Patrick Henningsen, 21st Century Wire, Catherine Shakdam, Writer & Commentator and John Wight, Journalist.
RV said:Catherine Shakdam, a writer for Mint Press News, The Duran, American Herald Tribune, Foreign Policy Journal, the New Eastern Outlook journal, all far-right conspiracist websites, and a sample of her writing there reveals a fondness for quoting fascists and conspiracy theorists such as Kevin Barrett, James Fetzer, Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Michel Chossudovsky. Shakdam is a Katehon contributor, has been hosted on Holocaust denier Kevin Barrett’s show more than once and has contributed to Barrett’s book.
Although there’s not much English-language material on Pål Steigan and the Mot Dag conference he organised, it is documented that Steigan has a long history on the anti-imperialist left, including having met with Pol Pot and Enver Hoxha. His current project appears to be a sort of “red-brown convergence squared”, as his conference brought the anti-trans axis represented by Keen-Minshull together with Eva Bartlett, Vanessa Beeley and Patrick Henningsen, three figures who’ve played a high-profile role in the international pro-Assad conspiracy theorist milieu.
All three have extensive connections to the far-right: Eva Bartlett has done interviews with holocaust deniers such as Kevin Barrett and Ryan Dawson, and writes for Global Research, a major red-brown website which also promotes the views of Lyndon LaRouche, Alexander Dugin and Infowars. Patrick Henningsen started out as an Associate Editor on Infowars, and has been a contributor to Red Ice, a Swedish alt-right project with extremely antisemitic politics. Henningsen has also interviewed Nick Kollerstrom, another Holocaust denier who used the interview to promote his book, “Breaking the Spell: The Holocaust: Myth & Reality”. Henningsen now runs a website called 21st Century Wire, which Vanessa Beeley is a frequent contributor to; other than writing articles praising Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Orban for standing up to George Soros on a website run by an Infowars/nazi-linked conspiracy theorist,
The problem of working-class militancy today is not that they are Fascists, but rather that they are not!
Learning about José Antonio Primo de Rivera, the Fasci Siciliani and other movements have made me realise that perhaps I am in many respects a “fascist” or falangist. I have often been accused of being a fascist. Henceforth, I will consider the appellation to be a compliment for which I am most unworthy!
The Old Testament is matriarchal, violent and irrational. Is it any wonder that the Jews behave in the way they do, having veiled their hearts from the truth of the New Testament? Is it any wonder that they would promote feminism, homosexuality and every kind of pseudo-science and moral perversion in the world? For if Mary remained the Old Testament, would she not rather have been Mary Magdelene before her repentance, the Whore of Babylon? And is that not the ideal of eco-feminism, of the European Union, our New Babylon?
A few days ago, Vanessa Beeley - a Left wing Assad supporter - recently argued that by opposing Assad, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar “effectively supports the Zionist ... neocolonialist project in Syria”. Beeley’s claims are not motivated by a racist or fascist ideology but rather a far Left ‘anti-imperialist’ worldview. She is a member of the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media which regularly defends Assad.
Now Mr. Lind and Jacob Heilbrunn of Georgetown University, in the April 20 New York Review, point out what Mr. Robertson did not mention: that his book relied heavily on a British anti-Semitic writer of the 1920's, Nesta H. Webster. Indeed, one sometimes thinks of plagiarism.
Thus Ms. Webster wrote that Weishaupt, supposed founder of the Illuminati, was "indoctrinated into Egyptian cultism by a certain merchant of unknown origin from Jutland, named Kolmer. . . ." Mr. Robertson wrote: "Weishaupt had been indoctrinated into Egyptian occultism in 1771 by a merchant of unknown origin named Kolmer."
Ms. Webster wrote that "a power" sought to destroy "all ordered government in every country. . . . What is this power? A large body of opinion replies: the Jewish power."
What the actual fuck is the matter with these people?
No, it's not. It's a semi-rhetorical question inasmuch as it's been observed by more than one person that 'anti imperialism' is a term that gets used selectively and is mainly directed at the US. The likes of Russia and China though very much engaged in their own imperialist activities, get a free pass. One has only to look at Ukraine and Syria with the former and the internal persecution of the Uighurs and their various projects in Africa with the latter. So no, I don't think it's cowardice more selective blindness and wilful ignorance.Cowardice
A controversial professor at the University of Sheffield who promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories and wrote papers that critics claimed “whitewashed” the war crimes of the Syrian government has left his post.
Professor Piers Robinson was the chair in politics, society and political journalism at the university and taught a course in “contemporary propaganda, with a particular focus on the current war in Syria”.
His presence on the teaching staff drew intense criticism from some fellow academics. His work was described as “conspiracy-theory driven”, “completely insulting” and of having “no interest in truth or justice” by lecturers speaking to HuffPost UK last year.
bit of a shame the shitty Sheffield student rage chose to concentrate on the things none of his students or colleagues had complained about,before finally getting to the meat of those complaints. Still, the fuckers gone, so hurrah. I imagine we'll be seeing nonsense about the evils of fascist students all over the internet any time now.Snap.
One of the Beeleyites got sacked for loonery. Bastani had been boosting him.
HuffPost is now part of Oath
He has retweeted Robinson but that doesn't show up in searches. He follows him and Tim Hayward on the twitter machine. Based on his shitty record it's reasonable to assume he does so because he approves of at least some their ideology and content. Eg. He has pushed conspiraloon talking points on Assad's use of chemical weapons which had already been debunked.you always have evidence for this stuff, and suspect this will be no different, but ...just searched Bastos twitt t/l for 'Piers Robinson', no results, any other pointers ?
