Blair '100 Percent on Israel's Side'

As the world presses Israel to heed calls for an international probe into its deadly Flotilla attack, former British Premier Tony Blair echoes Tel Aviv's alleged security concerns.

Having met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday, Blair called for a "full and impartial" investigation into the attack, saying "there may be some sort of international element that could be part of it."

Blair, however, assured that he wholeheartedly supports what he called Israel's right to self-defense and backed Israel's movement restrictions on the Gaza Strip.'

Blair Lobbies Gaddafi for Shell

Tony Blair has solicited for support of the Libyan leader on behalf of the Shell oil company to secure a lucrative oil deal, The Times has disclosed.

According to documents obtained under a Freedom of Information request, there is a striking similarity between a letter former British Prime Minister Tony Blair sent to Colonel Gaddafi and a briefing note which was sent by the Anglo-Dutch oil producer Royal Dutch Shell to Blair a couple of weeks earlier sponsoring a £325 million deal.

Shell eventually clinched a £325 million deal to build a liquid natural gas terminal on the Libyan coast.'

Tony Blair, Very Close to Being Indicted for War Crimes

While on a speaking engagement in Malaysia organized by "Success Resources Company", former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was the object of an articulate protest movement demanding his indictment for war crimes.

This was no ordinary protest. Tony Blair has been accused of war crimes in a legal initiative led by the country's former Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.

A War Crimes Tribunal as well as a War Crimes Commission were set up integrated by renowned jurists. Documentary evidence of war crimes committed by Blair and Bush has been carefully compiled and collected since 2006. The prosecution is led by several of Malaysia's most prominent lawyers.'

Blair's Fight to Keep His Oil Cash Secret: Former PM's Deals Are Revealed as His Earnings Since 2007 Reach £20 Million

Tony Blair waged an extraordinary two-year battle to keep secret a lucrative deal with a multinational oil giant which has extensive interests in Iraq.
The former Prime Minister tried to keep the public in the dark over his dealings with South Korean oil firm UI Energy Corporation.
Mr Blair - who has made at least £20million since leaving Downing Street in June 2007 - also went to great efforts to keep hidden a £1million deal advising the ruling royal family in Iraq's neighbour Kuwait.
In an unprecedented move, he persuaded the committee which vets the jobs of former ministers to keep details of both deals from the public for 20 months, claiming it was commercially sensitive. The deals emerged yesterday when the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments finally lost patience with Mr Blair and decided to ignore his objections and publish the details.'

Lord Of The Lies

Tony Blair has a memoir on the way, and you can smell the wretched stink of its bullshit even before the plastic wrap is peeled off the first copies.

Look at this what this enormous lying cock has to say about the book he was paid, incredibly, as much as £5 million to write:

"I have tried to write a book which describes the human as much as the political dimensions of life as prime minister.

"Though necessarily retrospective, it is an attempt to inform and shape current and future thinking as much as an historical account of the past. Most of all I want readers to have as much pleasure reading it as I had writing it."

Unlikely. He was paid to write it, while readers will pay to read it.

When you see it on your local bookshop shelf, don't forget to take out a fat black pen and write "Fucking Liar Scum!" and "Lord Of The Lies!" on as many pages as you can before you are ejected, or arrested.

Somebody has to do it.

Britain’s Inquiry Into the Iraq War and the Israel Lobby Taboo

So, in short, Blair did reveal an Israel connection to the war, that the official gatekeepers of the US (and UK) media have sought to deny, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It should be pointed out, however, that even Walt tends to downplay somewhat the actual extent of the Israel connection. For while it was the neocons who from the late 1990s onward pushed the strategic plan to first attack Iraq before moving on to Iran and Israel’s other Middle East adversaries, their entire plan paralleled earlier schemes developed in Israel, especially by the Likudniks (e.g. Oded Yinon), to destabilize Israel’s enemies by war, starting with a war on Iraq.'

Tony Blair Attacks Iraq Inquiry as Part of Britain's 'Obsession With Conspiracy Theories'

Tony Blair yesterday launched an extraordinary attack on the Iraq inquiry - as the chairman warned that he and others could be recalled over 'gaps' in their evidence.
In an outspoken interview in the U.S., the former prime minister dismissed the inquiry as part of a ' continual desire to sort of uncover some great conspiracy'.
Speaking on Fox News he said critics of the war were obsessed with conspiracy theories, and refused to accept that his motives were 'genuine'.'

Memo 'Shows Blair Iraq war Deal With Bush'

The leader of Plaid Cymru's MPs has said he has a memo showing Tony Blair and George Bush struck a secret deal to invade Iraq a year before the 2003 war.

Elfyn Llwyd told the BBC's Straight Talk he had written to Iraq Inquiry chair Sir John Chilcot to say he would be prepared to hand the document over.

He said the memo, which is marked "Top Secret and Confidential" contradicted statements made by Mr Blair.'

Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, QC: Duplicitous Testimonies

On Friday 29th January, Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, QC., slithered in to the Chilcot Inquiry on the Iraq invasion in the Queen Elizabeth Conference Hall, opposite London's Westminster Abbey. The manner of his arrival was entirely consistent with the less than transparent behaviour, which led to dodgy dossiers, an illegal invasion, a near-seven year (and counting) killing spree and those figures which which should be hewn, under his name, on a wall of shame in Parliament Square, throwing distance away: Approaching one and a half million dead, four million widows, five million orphans, four million displaced, in the name of liberation, freedom, democrocy, words defiled for all time.

The man who knew: "I was right" and would have '"invaded even if I had known there were no weapons of mass destruction", whose apparent lack of even a passing aqaintance with legality, humanity or straightforwardness, entered by a back entrance, apparently unable to look in the eye, Iraqis, bereaved of relatives and country, military families, bereaved by his manipulative certitudes and other protesters. This, the man who said, on being elected that: "I'm a pretty straighforward sort of guy." While uncounted humanity continue to die as a result of his actions, this millionaire candidate for a new Nuremberg, cost the British taxpayer an estimated £250,000 for insuring his safety, during his six hour appearance.

"The more he talked of his honour, the faster we counted the spoons", comes to mind.'

Plan to Oust Saddam Drawn up Two Years Before the Invasion

A secret plan to foster an internal coup against Saddam Hussein was drawn up by the Government two years before the invasion of Iraq, The Independent can reveal.

Whitehall officials drafted the "contract with the Iraqi people" as a way of signalling to dissenters in Iraq that an overthrow of Saddam would be supported by Britain. It promised aid, oil contracts, debt cancellations and trade deals once the dictator had been removed. Tony Blair's team saw it as a way of creating regime change in Iraq even before the 9/11 attack on New York.

During his evidence to the inquiry last week, Mr Blair said it was only after 9/11 that serious attention was given to removing Saddam as the attack changed the "calculus of risk". However, another classified document released by the Iraq inquiry on Friday night showed that No 10 explicitly saw the Contract with the Iraqi People as an early tool to remove the former Iraqi dictator. A memo issued in March 2001 by Sir John Sawers, then Mr Blair's foreign policy adviser, cited the document under the heading "regime change".'

Psychopath Blair Pushing For War Against Iran

World leaders might have to go to war to stop Iran developing its weapons programme, Tony Blair suggested yesterday.

The former Prime Minister, who is now a Middle East peace envoy, said that Tehran’s actions had made him more afraid today that a rogue state could supply weapons of mass destruction to terrorists than he was when he took Britain to war with Iraq in 2003.

He warned that world leaders, including the British Prime Minister, now faced the same kinds of decision about the dangers posed by repressive regimes as he did seven years ago.

“My judgment — and it may be other people don’t take this view, and that’s for the leaders of today to make their judgment — is we don’t take any risks with this issue,” he said.'

Blair admits 'Legal' Basis For Iraq War an Orwellian Lie; Psychopathic Monster Then Threatens Iran

In this case, the breakthrough to public recognition of the obvious requires overcoming cognitive dissonance: embracing disturbing fact over blind belief that no emperor of ours would ever goose-step naked in public with uncovered bare assertions. Without cognitive dissonance, one would indeed have to be literally blind, retarded, or a shill for the liars to fail a test to identify if the man parading before you was clothed or naked.

The “Big Lie” of war law: Sir Michael Wood, the UK’s highest legal advisor in 2003, previously testified that Prime Minister Tony Blair’s office responded to his legal department’s unanimous legal conclusion from their 27 lawyers that war with Iraq would by unlawful with chastisement for creating evidence against the war in writing.'

Ex-UK Attorney General Had Doubts About Iraq War

Tony Blair's top legal advisor Lord Peter Goldsmith admitted he was initially skeptical of the legitimacy of US military action against Iraq.

Goldsmith told the Chiltoc inquiry on Wednesday that he had not been convinced an invasion was necessary, pointing out that UN Resolution 1441 — which gave Saddam Hussein a final warning — was "not crystal clear."

"I didn't see any evidence of an imminent threat" that called for self-defense, Goldsmith said.'

Chilcot Inquiry: Iraq Invasion Had No 'Legal Basis in International Law'

Sir Michael, who was the most senior legal adviser at the Foreign Office at the time of the invasion, told the inquiry he disagreed with the advice of Lord Goldsmith, the former attorney general, that military intervention was lawful.

"I considered that the use of force against Iraq in March 2003 was contrary to international law," he said in a written statement.
"In my opinion, that use of force had not been authorised by the (United Nations) Security Council, and had no other basis in international law".'

Blair Clearly Advised Iraq War was Illegal

Explosive evidence showing the Government was 'clearly advised' the Iraq war was illegal will be disclosed at the inquiry into the conflict this week, it was revealed today.

Sir Michael Wood, who was the Foreign Office's chief legal adviser, is expected to reveal he believed the war was unlawful without a second United Nations resolution.
Elizabeth Wilmshurst, a senior FCO lawyer who quit in protest at the invasion, will also say she was not 'a voice in the wilderness' in having doubts about its legality.'

Revealed: Jack Straw’s Secret Warning to Tony Blair on Iraq

A “SECRET and personal” letter from Jack Straw, the then foreign secretary, to Tony Blair reveals damning doubts at the heart of government about Blair’s plans for Iraq a year before war started.

The letter, a copy of which is published for the first time today, warned the prime minister that the case for military action in Iraq was of dubious legality and would be no guarantee of a better future for Iraq even if Saddam Hussein were removed.

It was sent 10 days before Blair met George Bush, then the US president, in Crawford, Texas, in April 2002. The document clearly implies that Blair was already planning for military action even though he continued to insist to the British public for almost another year that no decision had been made.'

Blair Froze Out Iraq War Dissenters

Tony Blair froze out anyone with concerns about the Iraq war and was not challenged on the issue by a Cabinet that had been "conditioned" to accept that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, the Iraq inquiry has been told.

Lord Turnbull, who as Cabinet Secretary was Britain's most senior civil servant, said that Mr Blair largely surrounded himself with those who would not disagree with him, while those who did have concerns were given almost no time to discuss the issue.'

Tony Blair’s £1m-a-year Paymaster Seeks Giant Iraqi Oil Deal

A Middle Eastern investment fund that pays Tony Blair about £1m a year as an international adviser is in talks to develop one of Iraq’s biggest oilfields.

Mubadala, a United Arab Emirates investment firm, is in negotiations to join a consortium of western oil companies developing the Zubair oilfield in southern Iraq. More than £6 billion of investment is required for the project.

Blair has always insisted that the Iraq conflict was never linked to the country’s vast oil reserves, but he was facing criticism this weekend over his role with Mubadala. The investment firm, which receives 80% of its revenues from oil and gas, intends to build the biggest oil company in the eastern hemisphere.

Blair was accused of supporting the interests of the western oil companies with the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, but dismissed the allegations as a conspiracy theory. He proposed that oil revenues should be placed in a United Nations-administered fund for the benefit of the Iraqi people.'
