The Blairs reached Australia after a record-breaking 18 hour flight UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has acknowledged it may have been a "mistake" to announce he would not be serving a fourth term in office. "People kept asking me the question so I decided to answer it. Maybe that was a mistake," he told Australian radio after attending the Commonwealth Games.

wherein he says: "Globalisation is a fact. But the values that govern it are a choice. We know the values we believe in: democracy and the rule of law; also justice, the simple conviction that, given a fair go, human beings can better themselves and the world around them. . . . " . . . Ranged against us are the people who hate us; but beyond them are many more who don't hate us but question our motives, our good faith, our even-handedness, who could support our values but believe we support them selectively." . . . I do not always agree with the US. Sometimes they can be difficult friends to have. But the strain of, frankly, anti-American feeling in parts of European politics is madness when set against the long-term interests of the world we believe in." . . . If our security lies in our values and our values are about justice and fairness as well as freedom from fear, then the agenda must be more than security and the alliance include more than America."

The following four Emails were written yesterday and today about Tony Blair and the very destruction of the values which he claims to support and maintain. He does not. He condemns anti-Americanism, yet he allows US Government agents to run amok as rampaging rogues in the UK as they have done in my direct experience for the past five years since February 2001 destroying the values he espouses here. That anti-Americanism comes from the Ugly Americans who still flourish throughout the world as a result of people like Tony Blair who surrender the sovereignty of their countries to these rogues like former US Marines Lt Harry Bird, Colonel Vine and others. They are the source of the anti-American problem along with Tony Blairs who support them by knowingly allowing them to flourish. The great tragedy is that hundreds of millions of decent, honest, respected and respectful Americans are tarnished by the brush of the few Ugly Americans who behave contrary to all civilised and democratic values and are allowed to do so by the likes of the Tony Blairs of this world who fail to exercise their own individual responsibility to stop such behaviour when they are continuously and fully informed about it. Yes, globalisation is a fact. It has been for decades. The values are a choice too, but Tony Blair has chosen the values of tyranny and power for its own sake as evidenced by his actions. National Socialism was national racism and supremacy of the worst kind. It has been replaced by an even worse aspect from the dark side of the human character. e e cummings described it accurately decades ago: ". . . when nationalists hate,they hate by merely killing and maiming human beings;when Internationalists hate,they hate by categorying and pigeonholing human beings." e e cummings, "i six nonlectures, atheneum, New York, 1962, p 65. Tony Blair is duplicitous with his support of the values he espouses above. He wants people to think well of him while he wields the club hidden behind his back against those he does not like who represent dissent and criticism against his acts. It's called surveillance technology.

---------- Forwarded Message ----------Subject: Blair Does It Again. He Manipulates to Get Cooperation Then Wipes Out Everyone.Date: Sunday 26 March 2006 23:19From: Gary D ChanceTo: news24@bbc.co.ukWe see this over and over, and Gordon Brown has been one such abused person by the Machiavellian Tony Blair who will promise anything to get cooperation then brutally wipes out those who believed and trusted him.First, long, long ago it was the Islington restaurant "deal" with Gordon Brown to become Labour Party leader.This same manipulation has been done over and over with blatantly broken promises made to the electorate on bills presented to Parliament.He dramatically announced that he would go only to get everyone working together for the election last year.Now, that he's got want he wants, his brutality is showing once again. Power is the most addictive of narcotics. Once in power, those who have it will do anything to keep it. They will not give it up willingly. I never expected Tony Blair to do so.This was to be expected from Tony Blair along with the statements by others indicating he could go on and onTony Blair is the source of the problems, e.g., loans, that plague the Labour Party and this Government. The Labour Party will have to take the initiative to replace him just like the Tories did with Margaret Thatcher when she overstayed her usefulness.This is going to be a fascinating political year. There is a clear gap between Tony Blair and the Labour Party which will turn up in the local elections. I supsect that the voter will turn against Labour so severely that Tony Blair will have to go quickly.

---------- Forwarded Message ----------Subject: Tony Blair: The Source of the Problem Thinks He's IndispensableDate: Monday 27 March 2006 08:42From: Gary D ChanceTo: news24@bbc.co.uk, breakfasttv@bbc.co.ukIt always happens. The delusion of grandeur and self aggrandisement has been conspicuous in Tony Blair for all these years. His schizoid personality is just the tip of the iceberg.He's the source of the problems and now wants to stay to finish creating the mess at the NHS. Look at Iraq. Same thing. Look at all the rest of it.The Blairs are tired and worn out as you noted with the Telegraph front page [and above]. They've been that way for a very long time.This is a Government with a musical chairs Cabinet where Tony Blair considers himself indispensable.This delusion arises from his ability to hide the real source of the problem (Tony Blair) by scrambling the Cabinet jobs when necessary and suppressing problems by silencing those who complain. It's called "Power Management."This results in a politicised civil service as problem supression and image management gets passed down and throughout Government departments until the disasters emerge. This is the standard which now characterises this country.The "Blame Game" passes along to the bottom. Panorama's [documentary about the NHS "Blame Game"] take on this theme last night was one excellent example. The result is that the purpose of Government fails at the level where it's supposed to serve.

---------- Forwarded Message ----------Subject: "That Means Standing Up For Our Values" said T[ony] B[lair] in AustraliaDate: Monday 27 March 2006 09:23From: Gary D ChanceTo: news24@bbc.co.ukTony Blair is at the forefront, the very lead in fact, of destroying those values in the UK.The fight against fascism from WWII is not being addressed by the Invasion of Iraq. The invasion of Iraq reflects fascism.My conclusion once again last night while watching BBC Four's Storyville documentary "The Holocaust in Hollywood" was that 50 million died in vain in WWII because fascism is alive and well at the very core of this Government in my direct experience.Despite being notified for many years by continuous correspondence, Tony Blair has condoned and supported 24/7 torture against me in London with the lethal use of surveillance technology as a weapon for seven years and seven months since August 1998.At the same time extensive medical experimentation has been carried out against me, a nonconsenting human guinea pig, including surreptitious medication administered outside a hospital environment involving extensive participation by NHS personnel.The real fight against fascism is a fight against those who are destroying the democratic rule of law and its institutions in this country.The policies carried out and laws being enacted in this country are those of a would be tyrant seeking absolute power and rule by fear. This is what Tony Blair is doing and allowing to be done in his name.The real test today is that of the strength of democracy and the responsibility of individuals to maintain those standads in the face of the rise of tyranny.Tony Blair falsely covers himself in this verbal cloak trying to disguise the reality of what he is doing. Look at what he does. Do not listen to what he says.

---------- Forwarded Message ----------Subject: Three Days of the CondorDate: Sunday 26 March 2006 15:37From: Gary D ChanceTo: rtfilmcomments@bbc.co.uk["Three Days of the Condor" was screened yesterday on Channel Five at 1300. Here are my comments to the Radio Times in light of their review of this film. This is an extraordinary film. Make haste to see it.]Your review missed this completely. It has nothing to do with Watergate and Vietnam. Nixon resigned and left the White House in 1975 [when this film was released].30 years later this film shines with a dazzling sparkle. It was on target then when no one knew it except the author of the book. Now, we've all learned the hard way. Note the invasion of the middle east for oil with a president financed by oil. They are still playing games and destroying those they do not likeA CIA within a CIA is a reality now only it's shifted to entities which are not only rogue but scattered. All of them are working for their own corrupt self interest as the Max von Sydow [free lance assassn] character revealed.I was sitting here watching this with the latest rogue elements carrying out lethal surveillance. They noted it too but with horror at the truth. In my case it's over 7.5 years of the Xandor. Oh, I'm nothing myself. I'm just targeted for research and repression.I wonder what Sydney Polock and that superb cast [Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson, John Houseman] think today? Do you think they realised how near the truth they were then? The CIA was never cleaned up. It just went underground. It's far worse now and out of reach.[NB This film came out in 1975 against the background of the confiscation of oil properties in the Middle East in 1973 and the quadrupling of the price of oil by the OPEC countries. It's logical to think that the enraged oil companies and those in the US Government would think of retaliating by invading the Middle East to recover the oil properties it lost and stop the price increase which crippled the west. It is also logical to think that this desire festered under the surface of those connected with oil until such time as it could be pulled off. The invasion of Iraq finally occurred in March of 2003 almost 30 years after the initial oil embargo and the quadrupling of the price of a barrel of oil. This had been the first "oil shock." The second came a decade later. US and UK troops moved first to secure the oil fields allowing Iraq itself to be destroyed. There was no occupation plan. Just a war plan. Do not forget that the US embargoed its oil, high octane gasoline and scrap iron exports to Japan in July 1941. Japan estimated that its navy would be out of fuel in two years, and its industries would be shutdown in less than a year without US oil.* The US was its only viable source of oil at that time. Nazi Germany had invaded the Soviet Union that year. No one had any idea how that would turn out. Japan had to take steps to secure a source of oil. Without a secure, dependable source of oil there was a major incentive for the Japanese to extend its hegemony over the Pacific ocean for oil and protect itself against the US Navy hence the attack on Pearl Harbour and other locations in the Pacific in December 1941.*Gordon W Prange with Donald M Goldstein and Katherine V Dillon, "Pearl Harbor: the Verdict of History," McGraw-Hill, New York, 1986, p 168.
