ISSUE EIGHT OUT NOW--ILLUMINATING FOR SOME, TERRIFYING FOR OTHERS....
These are troubled times. As a compulsory political consensus is manufactured around the 'War on Terror', with a
flip-side of ever more bizarre conspiracy theories clogging up the filters of potential critics. The latest NFB puts the deserving
to the analytical sword. Contents include:
An evaluation of the time in office as MI5 Director General of recently-departed
Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller. While her hurried exit was greeted by virtual media silence, she has questions to answer--about
the 'War on Terror' and recent MI5 dirty tricks in Northern Ireland. Speaking of which, we take a wry look at the RUC post-employment
contract offered to tout Martin McGartland. We also publish (exclusively) a letter from Tory fixer in the 1984-5 miners strike
David Hart, complaining about Eliza Manningham-Buller.
Media coverage of Nazi web-site Redwatch has been extensive,
and the site itself little more than a tawdry hit-list. Yet there is more to this than meets the eye. Delving beneath
the surface, 'Redwatch Revisited' looks into those behind the web-site and others in the media/state protecting some personnel
involved. This article will make uncomfortable reading for many featured--Nazis, spooks, the BNP, alleged anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, the media. Anti-fascists everywhere should ponder the disturbing implications.
Staying with the far right,NFB reviews the memoirs of Liverpool fascist and gangland figure Joe Owens, former body-guard to BNP Chairman Nick Griffin.
We also update on the murder plot exposed last issue organised by ex-BNP No. 2 Tony Lecomber: a story receiving no media coverage
south of the Scottish border. We also update on the 1999 Copeland/Soho bomb scandal.
NFB has long fiercely criticised
the secret state--on the basis of evidence, not fantasy. Hence we critically look at both the 9/11 Truth cult and UK spin-off
the 7/7 cult, critically dissecting DVDs 'Mind the Gap' and 'Ludicrous Diversion'. Narrator of 'Mind the Gap' is ex (?)-spook David Shayler, and we enter into a spirited exchange with his former ghost-writer Mark Hollingsworth
In addition to assessing two recent
books covering Hugo Chavez, we analyse recent events involving the Scottish Socialist Party/Tommy Sheridan. Also,
we recommend para-political/political blogs worth a look. At 52 pages, a bumper issue, guaranteed to inform, entertain and infuriate.
We do, however, suggest steering clear of NFB if you think political research is spending 10 minutes on the internet, 9 of those on
Youtube. Anything worthwhile requires far more effort, and resources, than that--buy a copy and find out. A veritable
scalpel across the eye-ball of mass media-ocrity...
