KHOODEELAAR! Telling Alistair Darling [2]: You are clueless, in denial and you are faking so frequently that you must be lying
A Darling’s fakery has long passed the point of indulgence in a context of rational discourse.
This is evident both in his utterances as well as in the blatantly contradictory ‘coverage’ in the Sunday ‘papers’ of his attitude on looter bankers.
His typically in-denial remark [on the BBC TV Andrew Marr shown in the past 35 minutes] that the Sunday papers were speculating ‘as per usual’ [we are using this general quote in context, not attributing it to the faker Darling] was once again another example of his ignorance. Those reports were only contradictory because Darling had been giving contradictory signals and issuing via his spin-meisters contradictory briefs. And he had been doing it because he IS in contradiction, confusion, and ignorance, in denial and in dishonesty.

AADHIKARonline first commentary on the ‘Alistair Darling’ appearance on the BBC ‘Andrew Marr Show’ that has ended in the past 2 minutes:
Alistair Darling has just confirmed, AGAIN, that he is in deep ignorance and in denial. He has ill advisedly specified his commitment of more debts-creation by continuing to put UK public money into CRASSRail.
But he has not said a word about transport in London. We say that this distinction is crucial indicator of Alistair Darling’s dishonesty, confusion and of his touting role for Big Business. He has also made utterances that appear to be against the Bankers’ bonuses but in truth Darling has caved in to the bankers. He has said that the bonuses have to be ‘reasonable’.
He then ‘hopes’ that the UK public get ‘all our money back’ from the sale of the banks in a ‘few years time’.
Notice the soft pedal on that. He ‘hopes’ that the public will get the £Billions back from the stipulated sale of the banks… He is true to form. This is the same Alistair darling who paid £100 Million to a secretive cabal in connection with the Crossrail scam. Four years on there has been no accounts published of where that money went.
He is the same Alistair Darling who was Tony Blair’s appointment following Harriet Harman’s disastrous role at the then ‘DSS’ [now DWP]. Darling failed miserably to even admit how joblessness is caused in inner cities. Including in inner city London. The DWP paid £Billions to contactors who looted the public but blamed the ‘jobless’ and others

KHOODEELAAR! Reviewing CrossRail scam-peddler Ken Livingstone’s attacks on democratic voices and his fakery about Latin America via the 'Morning Scar'

Editor © Muhammad Haque
KHOODEELAAR! Replaying an external video showing the intolerance of Ken Livingstone at being asked questions about his behaviour.
Why are we replaying that video today?
For a start, it is never too late to look at the role Ken Livingstone has played in sabotaging universally understood expressions of democracy. In the context of his role in undermining the duty of ‘elected’ MPs to scrutinise the Big Business agenda scam ‘the CrossRail Bill’.
Secondly, the daily MORNING SCAR is running its usual routine of carrying a ‘big piece’ by one of its boxed collection of ‘left’ Blaired Party ‘politicians’ for its ‘emotionally extended weekend entertainments’ edition/s.
This weekend’s Morning Scar carries the Ken Livingstone piece which allegedly is about ‘defence’ of democracy.
Yes it is.
But not in London.
It is about defending democracy in Latin America.
Livingstone is also allegedly insinuating deeply disturbing deeds at the doors of the USA state agencies.
How incredible.
It is incredible because it is the same Ken Livingstone who had brought into the UK Bob Kiley, the CIA man whom he lavished with unlimited powers to coerce the people of London into conceding anything that Livingstone's whims had craved.
It was the same Ken Livingstone who had installed the same Bob Kiley in a palatial mansion in the centre of London’s most expensive housing complex or ‘district’ as they say in some quarters.
And as another CIA man, Philip Agee has chronicled, the CIA has a ‘distinguished’ [!!!!!] record of all sorts of enterprises in Central America.
How come that Ken Livingstone has not checked with his pal Bob Kiley about why the Obama-fronted USA State has been up to their old tricks in Ken Livingstone’s ‘currently favourite’ part of the ‘Third World’, awaiting ‘liberation’ by a ‘CPGB-approved, ‘Morning Scar’-promoted ‘British revolutionary’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of Livingstone’s very own ilk?
The record that Ken Livingstone created in his abusive tenure as mayor at the expense of the people of London would qualify him more for the designation of a REVOLTING ‘British politician’, in the sense that Trevor Kabvanagh’s – or was it before even Kelvin McKenzie’s time – SUN, the ‘|Rupert Murdoch tabloid’ used the phrase ‘most odious’ man in the country about Ken Livingstone in the early 1980s
In his intolerance towards the London Assembly members who attempted to quiz him on his behaviour as ‘mayor’ in the name of London, Ken Livingstone showed that he was as much against democracy s those MPs and Peers who sat on the ‘Crossrail Bill’ Select committee in the two Houses of Stooged MPs and Peers were.
In the past week [ending on Friday 4 December 2009], we have revisited the role played in 2006 by Alan Meale, ‘MP’ who was the stooged Chair of the stooged CrossRail Bill select committee in the UK House of Commons in the Palace of Ghostsminster.
It is no coincidence that Alan Meale and Ken Livingstone are quite similar and both can lay claim to having been on the alleged Left of the former Labour Party now truly and utterly Blaired.
Blaired is the word we have devised to denote total corruption and lack of democracy.
And there is no other seeker and craver of ego-centric posts at huge public expense that fits the ‘decoration’ than the same Ken Livingstone.
Ken Livingstone was happy with the role that the ‘once Left’ [the thought is worrying! And also baffling!] Alan Meale played as the stooged chair of the stooged Crossrail Bill select committee.
As Livingstone was with the role that another of his ‘mates’ on the alleged Left of the former Labour Party [now Blaired] played in the House of Peers in the Palace of Ghostsminster.
His name is Snape, to be differentiated from the very risky spelling error that may creep into the discourse on him at times..
Peter Snape was later caught with his fake democracy gowns down. He was almost taped as confessing that he had transgressed….
May be the magnitude of Snape’s transgressions was not quite resembling that being witnessed this weekend in the USA around the highly instructive travails of Tiger Woods and the remarkably identikit holes of despair that he had been aiming his balls in the direction of !
How remarkable that events have so coincided that the inner city, deprived East End of London community is having to go as far as the remote suburb of Tiger Woods’ ‘accident’ to find a link between the errors of Ken Livingstone's Crossrail hole and the empty platitudes about alleged democracy in Latin America that is being peddled by a so-called left newspaper which is actually promoted from an address in London’s East End but which has persisted in playing the denying role about the calamitous impact on the very same area of the Bob-Kiley-dictated ['lock them up until they agree to back Crossrail'] , Ken Livingstone-touted Crossrail holes scam…
As we published in the summer of 2005, Kiley had been shown on a BBC TV programme previously, demanding that all London politicians and other decision-makers concerned who had any doubts or reservations about the CrossRail scam should be locked up in a room and kept there until they had agreed to back CRASS Crossrail!
How CRASS!
No wonder that the Communist Party of Great Britain’s ‘daily organ of socialist Britain’ missed the CIA Kiley’s outbursts against democracy then.
It has no hesitation however in running ken Livingstone’s’ pathetic invectives ‘for democracy’ in Latin Amerce this weekend.
This role by the Morning Scar neatly illustrates just why democracy has been such a weak part of the political realities in Britain.
Our campaign is based on universal principles and we are emphatically opposed to coercion and repression by all illegitimate and undemocratic forces. We have witnessed in the past nearly 6 years of campaign against Big Business Crossrail scam that most of the paid officials of the allegedly left UK trade unions have been silent about the wasteful CrossRail.
So the Ken Livingstone-signed 'Morning Scar' piece is not only empty but it is also an insult to real people, ordinary people in London whose voice is forever being sidelined marginalised by the State-ist ‘Morning Scar’ and its approved trade union bureaucracies.
These ‘Left’ elements have no respect for ordinary people. Either in London or anywhere else in the UK.
Indeed in Latin America.
When Ken Livingstone was asked about Bob Kiley’s later reported behaviour in London and was challenged about why he had given Kiley so much power and why he had appointed him ‘Transport Commissioner” Livingstone said, with not a hint of modesty or irony let alone apology in his voice or in his delivery of the obscenity, that he liked Bob Kiley’s ability to intimidate people!

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO!
No matter what fake gloss they stick on the wall, as they peddle the lies, it comes off, exposing the truth: CRASS role! The ‘role’ is their ‘power-use’. The ‘power’ is presumed as based on the UK’s unwritten constitution.
The main source of the ‘power’ is the largely brainwashed masses of UK public.
The only things that spur the ‘public’ into anything remotely resembling ACTIVITY are linked with Spurs! Football. Alcohol. Xenophobia. And mass ignorance. Miseducation. This is proven fact. And this fact can be tested by looking at any random sample of ‘policy’ events at any point of time and by comparing the ‘mass’ ‘public’ relating to it by voluntary conduct. So ‘elections’ really are nothing of the sort.
That is, they are nothing of the sort of democratic, peoples’ opportunity to exercise ‘decisive peoples’ say that they are painted to be…
This truth is most acutely shown in the behaviour of the state-sponsored, state- funded servile outfits, typified by the ethnicity-linked, ‘operations’ that are physically located in strategically chosen target areas inside the boundaries of the ‘deprived’ inner cities boroughs.
They are fiercely controlled via Ken Livingstone-friendly surrogates denoting all the approved variations of the worst of ethnicity-linked servitude personnel.
They are ferociously ethnicity-pigmented and they are even more fiercely oiled. And they spring to ethnicity-linked servility action whenever they are needed by the ranks of their funders, their sponsor ministers and their likes..
They are not at all even doing democracy at a basic level, they are undoing democracy at the local levels. They are outfits of fraud. Of bribery and corruption. These things cannot be then ‘generating’ the local economies. They are DEGENERATING the local economies. So it is NOT TRUE that inner cities deprived areas are GENETICALLY so.
They are NOT ‘deprived because they have mainly deprived people in them’.
They are deprived because the state keeps them deprived. And to make doubly sure that they stay deprived the state funds the degeneration-slaves in them to keep the communities so deprived…
Against this reality, the idiotic peddling parades by John Denham, one of the many ethnicity-linked, inner-city-deprivation-linked holders of office and seekers of re-election that have been deployed across the UK in the currently on run up to a scheduled charade of election, do not enhance any claim that they or their titular head G Brown could make. Both G Brown and the band of John Denhams are sinking deeper into the hole of corruption in the inner cities.
They are doing so because they do not have the due ethics or the tangible manifest morality that could show them their errors, their mistakes, their wrongs and their wrongfulness. And they are in this sinking morass because there is no other big gang [Oops! ‘Political party’] that could hold up the standard of morality, ethic let alone of liberty and universality. The Dave Ca-Moroned UK Con Party aside, there is no ‘Party’ that is even making the fake sounds.
The banal, the insignificant and the idiotic noises, braying and beatings that re being heard from remote locations of the self-servings idea parties are beyond pathetic.
Against this evidential truth, the ‘disclosure’ below as carried by the London Daily Mail that £17 Bn has been lost in 'recession'-lost taxes due to the recession is also an insulting piece of journalism. Why? Because the daily Mail too is faking it. Even when it is supposedly revealing something which the Guardian is not. Because the Daily MAIL too is peddling the Big Business agenda. IF it weren’t doing that then it would be saying that the lost £17Bn is the exact same amount, which the stooged UK regime is still adamant to put into the debts-hole of Crossrail!

KHOODEELAAR! updating on the abysmal role played against SCRUTINY by the Crossrail scam-stooged MPs' 'committee' in t' UK House of Commons-1

Khoodeelaar! has been reporting on the antics and the ‘norms’ of the stooged Mps for almost 6 years now. We ought to have devoted more time and space to covering the doings and the undoing of Alan Meale. Especially because he it was who was appointed to serve as the notional chair in the stooged MPs’ ‘select committee’ that’ operated as the touts in the House of Commons for the Big Business Crossrail scam agenda ‘Crossrail Bill”. It was Meale who was the most obstructive. He expressly blocked the inclusion and or presentation of evidence that would have showed the crassness of Crossrail. Meale’s obstruction was aimed at ordinary campaigners who had submitted formal objections [ridiculously called 'petitions'] against the Crossrail Bill as well as one of Meale’s own ‘ex-colleagues’ and longstanding ‘friends’, the ‘Bethnal Green and Bow MP’ George Galloway.
We have already reported on over 20 separate occasions about Galloway’s appearance in June 2006 before Meale’s stooged committee. We shall do so again and update on that in due course.
We shall be reporting in greater detail on Meale’s abysmal role than we have done so far.
As a contextual scene-setter, we here reproduce the texts [and the images] from a very entertaining item about Meale that another blogspot.com publisher has posted [apparently since June 2009] on the Internet.
Better late with this sort of reference than not at all:
“Labour MP Alan Meale and look-alike of League of Gentleman character Edward Tattsyrup, spent more than £13,000 on his garden in four years, billing the taxpayer for a new storage building, repairs to his fencing and gates, and bark to keep the weeds down. Alan Meale, a former environment minister who represents Mansfield, also claimed reimbursement of a £2,000 bill from a "horticulturalist" to clear trees and shrubbery at his Nottinghamshire constituency home. Other reimbursed expenses included more than £7,000 for redecorating the detached property, which he designated as his second home with the parliamentary authorities, and furnishing it with window shutters and new steps leading to his French doors. His expenses claims show that he received more than £7,300 for decorating and repairing his constituency home. He also received more than £4,700 of taxpayers' money for a new bathroom and shower tray and attempted to claim more than £3,200 for a new refrigerator and cooker, although he received only £1,200 from the fees office. Mr Meale also billed the taxpayer for the £1,480 cost of new steps "for French doorway" at his home and a £2,800 set of replacement shutters from the New England Shutter Company. This odd looking chap is not killing strangers who dare to darken his door is he? After all if he is, then that would explain all the gardening work.”

The Guardian is floating the CRASS idea of over-taxing ‘Londoners’ [more on this concept including an update here shortly of the term which was almost made disreputable by its overuse by the nasal bytes of CRASSrole player Ken Livingstone] for the sake of funding Big Business CRASSrail. When it comes to 'Crossrail' the Guardian drops its alleged skepticism about Boris Johnson and adopts him as if he were a re-installed City of London interests tout Ken Livingstone all over again...
For evidential purposes, we reproduce [below] the latest Guardian plug for 'Crossrail project champion' Borisken as promoted by the Guardian and one of their peddling 'writers' Hélène Mulholland.

Boris Johnson wants US-style funding for London projects
Capital's mayor calls for tax increment financing to boost schemes during economic downturn

Boris Johnson wants London to introduce tax increment funding. Photograph: Jon Furniss/Jon Furniss/WireImage.com
Boris Johnson today called on the government to allow London to adopt a US-style scheme to raise money for projects, increasing his financial independence from the government.
In a report published today, the Conservative London mayor and Merrick Cockell, the Tory leader of the umbrella group for London councils, included the idea of tax increment financing (Tif) to help fund projects in the capital during the economic downturn.
The document, Investing for Recovery, highlighted London's special needs as "the engine room of the UK economy" with the biggest gap between rich and poor.
Its publication comes as Johnson seeks to ward off the threat of budget cuts ahead of Alistair Darling's pre-budget report next week.
The mayor, who also faces the threat of cuts under a future Conservative government, said the capital required cash from the state and "something that won't cost a penny ... a bit more financial freedom".
Tif, which relies on future tax revenue to fund schemes, has been widely used for redevelopment and community improvement projects in the US as an alternative to state investment, and Johnson said it would allow London to bring in more private investment.
The report said the capital was "far more dependent" on government funding than cities such as New York and Tokyo.
Johnson, who is in advanced talks with Conservative central office over a beefed-up mayoral role, said Tif was the "beautiful idea" he had in mind to give him more financial freedom.
It is a potential model for the devolved London government and London boroughs if central government considers centrally collected taxes for local purposes, the report said.
"This is not about raising new taxes or having new tax-raising powers, but about earmarking future tax income raised in a local area to finance local regeneration," the report said.
"This would enable boroughs to boost economic development by investing upfront in enabling infrastructure.
"The freedom and responsibility to generate and manage local revenue streams will provide a significant incentive to investment, leveraging private sector funding.
"Tif would be a timely and proportionate response to the impact of the recession. The payback would be substantial.
"Introducing Tif would ensure that London can lead the way out of recession by generating and sharing in the 'growth dividend'."
The report also called for a fairer funding model that takes into consideration London's high turnover of population, the resulting strains on public services and the capital's "intractable social problems", which include poverty and insufficient housing.
Johnson, concerned that a Tory government could pull the plug on the long-awaited Crossrail project, said it was critical that this investment was kept alongside funding for improvements to the London Underground.

The Guardian is floating the CRASS idea of over-taxing ‘Londoners’ [more on this concept including an update here shortly of the term which was almost made disreputable by its overuse by the nasal bytes of CRASSrole player Ken Livingstone] for the sake of funding Big Business CRASSrail. When it comes to 'Crossrail' the Guardian drops its alleged skepticism about Boris Johnson and adopts him as if he were a re-installed City of London interests tout Ken Livingstone all over again...
For evidential purposes, we reproduce [below] the latest Guardian plug for 'Crossrail project champion' Borisken as promoted by the Guardian and one of their peddling 'writers' Hélène Mulholland.

Boris Johnson today called on the government to allow London to adopt a US-style scheme to raise money for projects, increasing his financial independence from the government.
In a report published today, the Conservative London mayor and Merrick Cockell, the Tory leader of the umbrella group for London councils, included the idea of tax increment financing (Tif) to help fund projects in the capital during the economic downturn.
The document, Investing for Recovery, highlighted London's special needs as "the engine room of the UK economy" with the biggest gap between rich and poor.
Its publication comes as Johnson seeks to ward off the threat of budget cuts ahead of Alistair Darling's pre-budget report next week.
The mayor, who also faces the threat of cuts under a future Conservative government, said the capital required cash from the state and "something that won't cost a penny ... a bit more financial freedom".
Tif, which relies on future tax revenue to fund schemes, has been widely used for redevelopment and community improvement projects in the US as an alternative to state investment, and Johnson said it would allow London to bring in more private investment.
The report said the capital was "far more dependent" on government funding than cities such as New York and Tokyo.
Johnson, who is in advanced talks with Conservative central office over a beefed-up mayoral role, said Tif was the "beautiful idea" he had in mind to give him more financial freedom.
It is a potential model for the devolved London government and London boroughs if central government considers centrally collected taxes for local purposes, the report said.
"This is not about raising new taxes or having new tax-raising powers, but about earmarking future tax income raised in a local area to finance local regeneration," the report said.

David Miliband spoke to Iran's foreign minister this evening about the five British yachtsmen seized in the Persian Gulf last week as fears grow for their safety.
The conversation, which followed an earlier claim from Miliband that the matter would be handled at consular level, came after the Iranian ambassador to the UK went to the Foreign Office for talks this afternoon.
Rasoul Movahedian's 30-minute meeting with the permanant undersecretary, Peter Ricketts, came after a close aide to the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, today warned the five men would face "hard and serious" measures if it were found they had "evil intentions".
The sailors were captured six days ago when their racing yacht was intercepted by Iran's navy while en route from Bahrain to an event in Dubai.
The incident was kept secret until yesterday as the Foreign Office sought to establish what had happened and tried to avoid raising the political temperature. But Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaie, Ahmadinejad's head of staff, turned up the heat.
"Naturally, our measures will be hard and serious if we find out they had evil intentions," he told the semi-official Fars News agency, according to Reuters.
A Foreign Office spokesman said Ricketts had asked the ambassador for more information on the captives at their meeting this afternoon. "He stressed the need for Iran to confirm where the yachtsmen are being held, to grant us formal consular access to them, and the need for a speedy resolution to this matter," the spokesman said. "These were points we had been making for some days. Since it was now almost a week since the yachtsmen were held, the delay in providing a full explanation of what had happened and clarity on Iranian intentions were a matter of increasing concern."
It is thought the yacht, the Kingdom of Bahrain, may have strayed inadvertently into Iranian waters, the foreign secretary, David Miliband, said. The organisers of the race the sailors were due to compete in said the yacht had lost its propeller.
The vessel was being delivered by the crew to the annual Dubai to Muscat race, which was due to begin the following day. All the Britons were said to be safe and well and their families have been informed.
The crew members have been named as Oliver Smith, 31, Oliver Young, 21, Sam Usher, Luke Porter, 21 and David Bloomer.
Miliband told the Commons today there was no connection between the capture of the crew and the diplomatic clash over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
"There is no link at all between the position of the yachtsmen and the Iranian nuclear file or other political issues that exist between Iran and the international community," he said. "We very much look forward to the yachtsmen being released on a consular basis."
The foreign secretary said the government was working with Tehran to ensure the men were released as soon as possible, adding that he understood they were being treated well, "as we would expect in Iran".
Gordon Brown's spokesman said the government was in close contact with the sailors' families. "The facts are emerging. We don't have all the facts in front of us," he said. "What we do know is these five yachtsmen were on the way to a race. They probably, and inadvertently, strayed into Iranian waters. We are in close touch with the families."
Asked if he was certain the yachtsmen were in Iranian waters, the spokesman replied: "The evidence appears to be that they strayed into Iranian waters."
Oliver Young's father told the thisisplymouth website he was sure his son was "fine". David Young, a Plymouth businessman, said: "He's travelled a fair bit, he's got quite a bit of experience under his belt. They'll be coping with it fine. We understand they are being well looked after.
"He's been doing this since he's 18. He's with a very good friend of his and two crew members. They've been out there on this project for a number of weeks now … We hope to see them very soon.
"It's just a worry that there are diplomatic stresses at the moment. They are under international pressure. We just hope they're not used as a bargaining chip."
Keith Mutch, general manager of the Dubai offshore sailing club, the race organisers, told the BBC: "In all of our sailing instructions, skippers are briefed to stay away from Iranian waters.
"I've been told, although I can't confirm this, that Team Pindar had lost her propeller. We were waiting for her to come and pick one up."
The shadow foreign minister, David Lidington, called for the sailors to be released immediately.
He told the BBC: "I think it is completely unjustifiable and I believe Iran should release these people from captivity without delay.
"There was no justification for them being arrested in the first place."
The Tory MP Ben Wallace, chairman of the British-Iranian all-party parliamentary group, said Iran was trying "make a point".
He told the BBC: "A normal nation would stop a yacht, check it out, maybe take it back to shore and get rid of them. But this is five, six days into the incident. That is much more worrying, that is more deliberate."
Communication with Iran may have been made more difficult since the incident occurred over the Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha.
The race went ahead as planned. Sail Bahrain is the brainchild of Bahrain's King Hamad, who wants to develop sailing and other water sports in the Gulf region. The team has recently brought two 60ft Volvo racing yachts, of which the Kingdom of Bahrain is one, to the kingdom from Southampton after setting up the project with Team Pindar racing.
Bloomer, a DJ and sports broadcaster, has worked for the Bahrain Radio and Television Corporation for 25 years. He was expected to give regular updates on the 360-nautical-mile Dubai to Muscat race for which the yacht was headed.
Louay Habib, press officer for the Dubai offshore sailing club, said the yacht, which, when racing, would have had nine crew, ran into trouble about 60 miles off Dubai.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions over Iran's plans, announced on Sunday, to build 10 uranium enrichment plants. Iran's relations with Britain have been frosty since the country's disputed election earlier this year.
