Harold Wilson plot, Treason & Conspiracy by MI5, 1968 Coup, 1976 Resignation

[yaesu]

An interesting piece of history about right wing paranoia & how Britain's right wing establishment planned a coup, with the help of the Queen & the CIA, to overthrow Britain's Labour party rule.

An interesting thing learned was that GHW Bush was brought into the CIA as a fixer, like Barr, to clean up any evidence of previous CIA dirty tricks.

1. Somewhat like Bush and Casey conspiring to hold the hostages past the '80 elections to defeat Carter

These things tend to happen in waves - especially when right-wingers decide to make it their business who should govern and who shouldn't.

More recently, as you know, something similar happened to progressive governments in Latin America. Since 2015, most have been either denied re-election - or, in the case of Brazil, overthrown outright - using what's referred to as lawfare: the weaponization of the judiciary against officials in one party but not the other.

Thanks for posting this, yaesu. Check out A Very English Scandal if you haven't already.

While that one seems to be more a case of self-sabotage, Thorpe's downfall proved just as convenient to the Maggot as the intrigue around Harold Wilson.

I've been steering people to this documentary for years.

It should be noted that with the exception of Tony Blair, who was not a true Labour leader, every single Leader of the Labour Party has been contained or destroyed by media and establishment lies. - Tony Blair was annointed by Rupert Murdoch, when the Tories became impossible to reelect due to failures and scandals.

Margaret Thatcher, when asked what was he finest achievement, answered 'Tony Blair'

I was deeply concerned a week or two ago when several 'DU'rs' were echoing the lies and slander being spread about Jeremy Corbyn. It has been the same routine of lies from the start, although no former Labour Party leader has stood for so long against the might of the establishment.

He is a deeply trusted guy, and despite internal Blairite attempts to get rid of him, he is loved and respected by the people.

You can go on the terraces at a soccer game, you can attend a music festival, you can watch video of the kids on the recent climate change march. You will hear his name being chanted.
