Lobby your MP to act against any war!

 Readers might be interested in the email I've just sent to my MP. If you feel likewise, please write to your MP opposing the war. On the other hand, if you support a war, then go and jump in the lake.

Email to Mike Weatherley MP for Hove.

Dear Mike Weatherley

I am writing to you to use your vote today in Parliament and all other occasions to oppose any military attacks on Syria, or indeed any other country, by the UK, alone or with other countries.

I'm sure that you know that the overwhelming majority of the UK's population are against yet another war conducted by the UK and USA. You will have noted that on the front page of The Independent yesterday was a photograph of Mr Cameron with the caption "Heir To Blair". I think this is very appropriate as Mr Cameron has modelled himself on Mr Blair who must be the most reviled politician in the world.

Mr Cameron has changed his tune in the last day or two as he knows that the original motion he was going to put would have been defeated even if the Conservative Party had issued a Whip and if the Labour Party and Lib Dems had done the same. It seems that the majority of Conservative MPs would have opposed the go-ahead for a military attack on Syria. Ed Miliband, who originally supported a war using some weasel words, has now backed away somewhat fearing that the majority of Labour MPs would have denied him support. We know that Mr Miliband has got the spine and character of a pink blancmange.

As for Nick Clegg, he is now completely discredited as being an unprincipled puppet or Mr Cameron. You will remember that he rode on the coattails of the Lib Dems' opposition to the war in Iraq but he has now squandered all this good will to his party by his obsequiousness. He is now politically dead and the Lib Dems will surely soon dump him.

As for Mr Cameron you know as well as I do that he's very unpopular with the Conservative Party and in the country generally. Whatever happens in Parliament, Mr Cameron will never have any authority again.

You will probably recall that Anthony Eden MP was destroyed by his unleashing of war (secretly with Israel and France) against Egypt in 1956. That attack failed and not only was Mr Eden forced from Office but his health was also broken. Mr Cameron's weird words are probably based on the fact that he moves in circles that suck up to him and because he reads the organs of the political class.

The argument for the proposed attack is completely based on their having been a chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of Damascus on 21 August 2013. There is no evidence that such an attack had been carried out ot, if it had been, who did it. Obama, Cameron and Hollande have merely said, time and time again, that there was such an attack and that the Syrian Government was responsible. Not only is there no evidence that the Syrian Government carried out an attack, there is no possible reason that they would do so. The Government is winning the ground war against the armed rebels and for any Government to launch chemical weapons in the suburbs of it's own capital would surely cause it to lose support amongst it's own population. The allegation is simply not credible.

We do not even know if Syria has any chemical weapons at all. The recent Syrian ambassador to Turkey told the BBC yesterday that he didn't know! Has Syria got an equivalent to Porton Down? If so, we should be told about it!

The latest news from the Government is that, mysteriously, they now have proof that there was a chemical weapons attack on 21 August and that it was carried out by the Syrian Government but they don't say how they know this!

Information about the chemical weapons allegedly used on 21 August is very vague. Sometimes those who stand behind the allegation say it is sarin, sometimes "a nerve gas", and sometimes " a poison gas". As you surely know, sarin, which is an organophosphorous material, is very easily distributed and certainly doesn't need any shells or rockets. You could take it out of a handbag and throw it at people which is what happened on the Tokyo underground in 1995 when about a dozen people were killed in this way by a terrorist group. It is open to any terrorist group in Syria, and they are well-funded by the UK tax-payer, to unleash sarin in a populated area and then blame the government.

You probably know that it's very easy to make sarin and any chemistry undergraduate could do so.

Finally, I remind you that the next general election is likely to be hotly contested, not least in Hove. There seems little doubt that UKIP will do very well as it did last May in East Sussex and Kent. Also, the Green Party is likely to do well as it has a lot of support in your constituency and in fact the MP for the conjoining constituency, BrightonPavilio, is already in their hands. You can be sure that both UKIP and the Green Party will exploit any support you give to yet another war.n r. I'm sure that if you vote for war you will never hear the end of it. So for the sake of your own political future, I urge you to say no to any war, however dressed up. I remind you that I am not a supporter of any political party.

Yours sincerely,

Colin Bennett (very active in your constituency)

Proposed US/UK/French aggression against Syria

It is some time since I made a blog posting and the world's situation says that this is a good time to do so.

The madmen in control of the US, UK and French governments are determined to continue their quest of world control.

Readers may be interested in the emails I've sent out recently.

1. My email to BBC programs



The US and UK Governments are gambling on alleging that chemical weapons have been used in Damascus, and without any evidence that they have been employed by the Syrian Government, to steamroller a war against Syria.
The pro war media, including the BBC, are claiming that the alleged use of chemical weapons is something new.
The USA made extensive use of napalm in the Greek Civil War, North Korea and in Indo China.
The USA dropped millions of litres of chemicals, mainly Agent Orange, on the defenceless people of Vietnam. The terrible consequences can still be seen in babies born today.
Methinks the deafening silence on this matter speaks volumes.

2. My email to Christopher Hawtree. I've copied this to Caroline Lucas, MP (Green Party), for Brighton Pavillion and to Keith Taylor, Green Party MEP for SE England.

Dear Christopher  
I am writing to you as prospective Parliamentary Green Party Candidate for Hove to urge you and the Green Party to do everything you can to oppose a UK attack on Syria.
A big majority of the UK public are against SUCH A WAR, EVEN SUN READERS. THE ONLY WAY MPS WILL VOTE FOR A WAR IS IF THEY ARE WHIPPED AND IF THEY OBEY THEIR WHIPS. I WONDER IF YOU HEARD THE BRILLIANT STATEMENT BY SIR ANDRE GREEN, FORMER UK AMBASSADOR TO SYRIA, IN BBC RADIO 5 ABOUT 11 PM ON TUESDAY.
I PREDICT THAT IF THE WAR GOES AHEAD THEN CAMERON, CLEGG AND MILIBAND WILL BE DESTROYED.THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE GREEN PARTY IF IT GETS ITS MESSAGE ACROSS. I'M SURE UKIP WILL CERTAINLY PLAY ITS HAND ASTUTELY.
I HAVE TOLD MIKE WEATHERLEY IF HE DOESN'T OPPOSE A WAR HIS CHANCES OF BEING RE ELECTED ARE SLIM.

You can see that I accidentally went into upper case part way through. I have not altered this so please overlook my clumsiness.
