Lest We Forget: “I believe in facts about conspiracies”! “Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It’s important not to confuse these two. Generally, when there’s enough facts about a conspiracy we simply call this news”.

What about 9/11? “I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud”. What about the Bilderberg conference? “That is vaguely conspiratorial, in a networking sense. We have published their meeting notes“.

Since when did WikiLeaks become the tip of the spear in the global war for truth, transparency, knowledge, and freedom? An organization that rejects the truth that 9/11 was an inside job is not working to promote transparency, free speech, and truth, but more nefarious causes.

Those who seek to marginalize the global 9/11 truth and justice movement are not on the right side of history. The official 9/11 fable does not rest on solid foundations, but on totalitarian propaganda and trauma-based collective brainwashing. By endorsing the 9/11 fable, WikiLeaks proved itself to be a compromised organization that has no interest in revealing secret truths to the masses of the world.

“Where the truth is suppressed or distorted, corruption and injustice flourish”, avowed WLP while giving insider accounts of a broken media system where controversial reports are suppressed, people are censored for speaking out, their lives are shattered. Precisely copped by me at the WLP debate forum where a party member of the impeccable integrity has been vilified, name soiled and dragged through the mud in succession.

Whatever it takes to trash moral citizen who relied on civic courage, nourished by the championed truthfulness to shine a light on injustice and corruption in the era of universal deceit. As a result, Political Asylum topic was sabotaged, locked and shafted from the general discussion. Relegated out-of-sight out-of-mind into oblivion!

A friend and I also stopped by the rally against surveillance in Brisbane just in time to see Gary Lord, ostensibly representing Wikileaks/Wikileaks Party, give a badly put together speech that briefly mentioned WL, barely mentioned WLP and instead concetrated on informing the small crowd about how 9/11 was a fucking cover-up while everyone, including myself, cringed. He sounded like a juvenile lunatic in the face of other speakers who spoke about the problems of increasing surveillance and the war on whistleblowers and what we could do to hold the government to account.

I left with a bad taste in my mouth wishing I’d joined the Pirates instead. The only reason I remain a member is because I am a staunch advocate of freedom of information and support Wikileaks and Julian Assange and have this blind faith that eventually the Party will realise the bigger picture – that unless we get a groundswell happening now we’ll all live in a prison with invisible bars where our every move is monitored – and start politicking accordingly.

I am going to take time to reflect on this and come up with a considered response, at the moment I have no time. Today, it was the Arms Fair in London http://tinyurl.com/nwf23nm , tomorrow early morning it’s John Kerry at 8 am at the Foreign Office. This mornnig I wasted 80 mins responding to a OZ Green Party lynch mob that has come out of me making an intervention in this WLP meltdown. Given that I am 12,000 miles away and am a christian anarchist non-voter this has been a significant distraction from important anti-war & solidarity work at hand. All while we host 22 destitute refugees at Giuseppe Conlon House and deal with our eternal internal Catholic Worker, crisis that comes not merely from living ORworking together – but living AND working together.

We need to get over this WLP meltdown, treat as a speed bump on the highway of trying to stop historic & ongoing Australian complicity in U.S. massacres of children – this week Syrian children, next week? Also the important work of keeping a growing list of our comrades out of solitary confinement in U.S. gulags – originally Queenslander/ Melbournite Julian, U.S. born/ Old South Wales raised Chelsea, “Fast Eddy” outta Hawaii/ Hong Kong, Sarah, Lara, Glenn etc. This is THE important task at THIS historic moment – generating & sustaining nonviolent resistance & solidarity with war resisters.

I personally know and love Julian Assange, John Shipton, Susan Manning. I have spoken to Christine on the phone and I can relate to her (like Susan Manning), because they are going through what my mother went through when I was banged up in U.S. prisons. I love the work of Sean & Sam and have met them on skype. Sean first saw me as I was bashed at S11, dust myself down and get back into they fray. Julian was at S11 too. I did not meet either of them or see them there – I didn’t need to, we were working together in nonviolent solidarity for a greater goal.

What I have got going for me is that I have played football since 1966 and continue to play (presently recovering from broken bone or severe ligament damage in ankle). That means I have worked with people in teams who didn’t like me and I didn’t like them for (literally) a greater GOAL! Sometimes I score those goals, sometimes I set them up and sometimes my best contribution is I get out of the fkn way of the ball.

We have all been hurt by the WLP meltdown (even this christan anarchist non-voter), we now need to dust ourself down and get back into fray. Literally the lives of Syrian children this week/ other children next week are dependent on it. The liberty of John & Christine’s son Julian, of Susan’s child Chelsea, of Edward, Sarah Glenn etc are dependent on it. When the lives and liberty of children are at stake, those of us who have the ability to act as adults need to be acting as adults. We need to forgive each other. The only thing that holds us back from forgiving and accepting forgiveness is our pride and fear. I have pride and fear in vast quantaties. I can be too fearful to forgive, I can be too proud to be forgiven.
With that block all stops – community, nonviolent ressitance, solidarity. That’s where the empire wants us as it goes about it’s daily grind of producing orphans and kids corpses- as did in Vietnam, Bouganville, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colmbia, Timor Leste, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Syria

There endeth the lesoneth
I will make a more considered contribution to this debate, when I have more time
I have not had the time to have this dodgy ankle checked out
Here are some reflections of an interview I did on Friday night in London on Assange/ Manning Snowden solidarity & the ongoing WLP meltdown & the wnti-war & solidarity work at hand tinyurl.com/63sk83o

What is happening with the WLP today, happened with the Nuclear Disarmament Party in the ’80′s, in the Gospels with the original discipleship community, in every Catholic Worker community I have lived in over the last 30+ years, in the film “The Commitments”. It’s nothing new.

Stay staunch (as they use to say in Boggo Rd.)
Keep the faith (as they use to say in Long Kesh)
