KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! That the Blair-Brown regime’s peddling of the Big Business Crossrail scam could only be explained by the regime’s t being influenced by Big Business!

The Mail on Sunday today [13 September 2009] at page 42 carries only one news item, [and two advertisements] with the news item headlined “Hutton’s job with French nuclear firm he backed in £12.5bn deal”.

Hutton is of course a just-retired [from the cabinet] British Secretary of State for Business! While in post in that capacity, says the Mail on Sunday, Hutton had given the go-ahead for the ‘giant’ French firm EDF “to buy many of Britain’s existing and future nuclear power plants!.

EDF is comparable to the USA conglomerate BECHTEL, which we have been referring to as part of what J K Galbraith diagnosed as the ‘Military Industrial Complex’.

Like the French EDF, the USA-based BECHTEL is playing increasing parts in taking over the UK with the attendant agenda engulfing all key aspects of society and public life. And politics.

Where there is no reason, no justification, no basis, no demand in ordinary sense for a ‘project’ and yet the ‘project’ keeps getting fanatic backing from Govt ministers and ‘on-message’ MPs and Peers, there can only be lobby. Outside influence. And worse.

As the English ‘satirical’ [!] magazine ‘Private Eye’ admitted in a rare display of connection with the truth of what the Blaired regime, fronted by G Brown was getting up to, the ‘Crossrail Bill’ [February 2005 to July 2008] was clinched and rubber-stamped into the ‘Crossrail Act’ [July 2008] under the influence of the same USA conglomerate BECHTEL which exerted that influence through an aide to a former ‘Transport’ Secretary [cabinet Minister in the British Govt, fronted by G Brown by the time the rubber-stamping occurred] Douglas Alexander, reported ‘Private Eye’.

It is notable as we have been noting since ‘Private Eye’ made that one single brief reference to the Crossrail Big Business Military Industrial Complex scam, that ‘Private Eye’ has not published any [other] investigative report on the ‘Crossrail scam’ .

The ‘Dr Beeching’ column, which is a dedicated feature of ‘Private Eye’ reporting on the British railway operators and their many failures and scams, has been given over to issues and failures that are very much smaller than the sum of money and the impact on democracy that Crossrail represents.

Why would ‘PRIVATE EYE’ be so shy on making any substantial and sustained exposé on the Crossrail scam?

By its own published measurements, the ‘Crossrail scam’ contains all the wrongs and misuses and abuses that have been focussed on by ‘Private Eye’ in relation to those hundreds of smaller ‘stories’.

It could not have anything to do with the cushy and cosy commissions and promotions that Ian Hislop receives from the BBC could it?

Or could it have anything to do with the increasingly ‘regal’ appearances and facilities indulged in by the same Hislop, could it?

Shurely not?

We should be told! Surely!

Can we expect the next edition of PRIVATE EYE, scheduled to hit West End newsstands on Tuesday [15 September 2009] , to carry a detailed follow up on the periodicals’ almost reluctant admission on the BECHTEL role in getting the ‘CrossRail scam’ ‘legislated’ via the UK Houses of Parliament?
