1. I have a special seat of experience as regards to watching the sovereignty shifting from the UK to the US thanks to Tony Blair who ceded it from the UK to the US just after Bush was initially inaugurated. In February 2001 Colonel Vine and Lt Harry Bird arrived with their surveillance technology R&D experiment and took over. This signalled the end of the democratic rule of law in the UK.
Bush was the figurehead for US oil interests and Tony Blair became the same. Look what followed. Look at what is happening. Bush has exploited Blair and the UK mercilessly. The UK has paid a price so high that it might never recover. Lt Harry Bird and his local mentally ill and emotionalloy disturbed "recruit" continue yelling and shouting while I write this. Criminal behaviour is now the standard in this environment. What's next?
They have done things in London that would never be tolerated in the US. The British have allowed all of this to occur. After a total of eight and 1/4 years of which five and 3/4 years have included Colonel Vine, Lt Harry Bird and others from the US, they are desperately trying to destroy me to cover up all the crimes which have been committed. These former US Marines have exploited this environment as mercilessly as Bush has exploited Blair. The result has been what amounts to a scorched earth policy where everyone and everything has been so badly abused as to have been effectively destroyed. This is now a catastrophic mess which these people seek to use to their advantage by threat, coercion and intimidation of a most extreme kind.

Bush 'routinely ignoring Blair'
 Blair has been Bush's closest ally since the 11 September attacks |
Britain's relationship with America is "one-sided" and Tony Blair is routinely ignored by President George Bush, a senior US official has said.
Kendall Myers, a senior analyst at the State Department, described Britain's attempts to influence US policy as a "sad business", the Times reported.
Mr Myers reportedly said he felt "a little ashamed" at Mr Bush's treatment of the prime minister.
Mr Blair has been a close ally of Mr Bush since the 9/11 attacks.
The official - a specialist in British politics - made the comments at an academic forum at Washington DC's School of Advanced International Studies on Tuesday.

'London's bridge is falling down'

In a devastating verdict on Tony Blair’s decision to back war in Iraq and his “totally one-sided” relationship with President Bush, a US State Department official has said that Britain’s role as a bridge between America and Europe is now “disappearing before our eyes”.
Kendall Myers, a senior State Department analyst, disclosed that for all Britain’s attempts to influence US policy in recent years, “we typically ignore them and take no notice — it’s a sad business”.
He added that he felt “a little ashamed” at Mr Bush’s treatment of the Prime Minister, who had invested so much of his political capital in standing shoulder to shoulder with America after 9/11.

Britain's special relationship 'just a myth'
Toby Harnden in Washington
|
A senior American official has spoken of "the myth of the special relationship" between the United States and Britain, arguing that Tony Blair got "nothing, no payback" for supporting President George W Bush in Iraq.
Kendall Myers, a leading State Department adviser, suggested that Mr Blair should have been ditched by Labour but the party had lacked the "courage or audacity" to remove him. David Cameron, the Conservative leader, was "shrewd, astute" to have distanced himself from America. In candid comments that will embarrass Mr Bush and Mr Blair, the veteran official said America "ignored" Britain, and he urged Britain to decouple itself from the US. He asserted that the "special relationship", a term coined by Sir Winston Churchill in 1946, gave Britain little or nothing. 2. The front page to The Independent today has this condemnation of the Justice system. My experience for the past eight and 1/4 years reflects part of the chaos generated by this Labour government which is also reflected by this article. The Independent Thursday, 30th November 2006Lord Ramsbotham exclusive: Justice system is absurd. Broken. ChaoticThe former prison chief lambasts a justice system in meltdown after Tony Blair's decade of failure on crime and punishment Yesterday's announcement that the prison population now exceeds 80,000 is the latest low point in what one can only describe as the Government's headlong and self-induced race to absurdity as far as the conduct of imprisonment is concerned. The reasons for this dreadful figure are not hard to find. If you produce legislation that results in longer prison sentences, more people will be in prison. If you do not resource prisons, to enable them to conduct work, education and training, prisoners are more likely to reoffend, as proved by the fact that the reoffending rate among adult males has gone up from 55 per cent to 67 per cent in the past five years. If you continue to have a dysfunctionally organised prison service, you will continue to have dysfunctional organisation of an overstretched system. And so on. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/article2026812.ece 3. Beggar Thy Neighbour: US dollar currency devaluation is temporarily good for US economic activity while it destroys the rest of the world's economic activity to the degree of its trading impact. Then there is the knock on effect: restricted economic activity begins to impact all around. Once started it goes down and down. When confidence is lost, it is impossible to restore until a natural bottom is hit. Everyolne holds back exacerabating the problem as squeeze comes from every direction. The fiscal and trade deficits of the US will hurt the world along with its other policies, i.e., global warming. Buying US goods looks great now, but what is just around the bend? BBC News Thursday, 30 November 2006, 14:10 GMTPound hits 14-year dollar high | |||
The pound has hit a 14-year high against the dollar amid speculation that the Bank of England will raise interest rates in the New Year. By early afternoon trading in Europe, the pound was at $1.9557, after earlier hitting $1.9588, its highest level against the dollar since 1992. Interest rate rises are now more likely in early 2007 after the Nationwide said house prices rose strongly in November. UK interest rates are currently at 5%, after this month's quarter-point rise. |
