British Intelligence and its al-Qaeda Conundrum

A recent speech by the former head of Mi6, the British foreign intelligence organisation, Mr. Richard Moore boasting about his clandestine meetings with Syria’s new ruler, the former internationally wanted al-Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Jolani before he attained power reveals a certain dimension of Britain’s relationship with a supposed enemy. The meetings were held during the time when Jolani still had an international $10 million bounty for his arrest. Mr. Moore informed a gathered audience in Istanbul that British intelligence had established contact with Jolani two years before his repackaged al-Qaeda organisation, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), swept into the Syrian capital, Damascus, in early December 2024.

According to the former British ambassador, Craig Murray, British intelligence had provided HTS with “intelligence support, training and weapons, based at secret UK bases in the [Lebanese] Bekka valley, including inside the Rayak airbase” during the CIA led regime change operation in Syria. So instead of claiming the $10 million for cash strapped Britain, Mr. Moore’s organisation was offering military advice. This is not the first time British intelligence, whether domestic or international, has been found to be working with al-Qaeda related characters while simultaneously informing the public that al-Qaeda and associated groups are a proscribed organisation because of its terrorism. In this essay, I outline further episodes where British intelligence are shown or seem to be in a covert dalliance with characters it is supposedly protecting the British people from which in turn portends a conundrum.

The Jordanian, Omar Mahmoud Uthman aka Abu Qatada, born in Bethlehem, had earned his jihadi credentials in Afghanistan in the 1980s but on his return to Jordan he found himself brutally out of favour. He was accused of involvement in terrorist activity which in turn compelled him to find asylum in London in 1993….To continue reading the article click here.

Nazism is a Colonialism; Zionism is a Colonialism

A Refutation of an aspect of the IHRA’s Working Definition of Antisemitism

A worldwide initiative driven by Western experts and talking heads is afoot to silence any comparison between the Zionist state (i.e “Israel”) and the Nazi German regime of the 1930s-40s. Even in the midst of the current Zionist genocide in Gaza, the comparison draws the ire of western contemporary mainstream political sensitivities. This de facto taboo was given immense credence by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) organisation which claimed, “criticism of Israel similar to that levelled at any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitism”. Yet confusingly adds that an example of antisemitism in “public life” is to compare “contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” This essay argues, at the very least, there is a common denominator which underpins the territorial ambitions of the Nazi German regime and the British Imperial foundations of the contemporary Zionist state….

…It is quite clear that a certain aspect of the IHRA working definition of anti-semitism lacks historical literacy. The IHRA’s definition doesn’t consider both the global historical context of the emergence of the Nazis as led by Adolf Hitler and also how Zionism became manifest in the hands of the British Empire during its occupation of Palestine…

The book conclusively shows that British militaristic foreign policy, during the so-called ‘War on Terror’ is rooted in the history of British imperialism’s own historic militarism and not because of any subservience or kowtowing to United States’s foreign policy.

The Never Ending Lying Hypocrisy of Regime Change Peddler Moazzam Begg

‘No one should be surprised a direct spawn of shameless British Raj bootlickers was involved in CIA-Mi5 backed regime change operations.’

A brazen minority among British-Pakistanis are literally roaming the streets of Britain raping working class girls on an obscene industrial scale. Troubled girls in their hundreds, if not thousands, as young as twelve years old were plied with alcohol and drugs and turned into sex slaves for paedophiles to horrifically sexually abuse, others “marry” their abusers, others have had their babies, so it is only natural that British-Pakistani political icon, Outreach Director of Cage advocacy organisation and former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Moazzam Begg continues to focus his righteous efforts to peddle Syrian regime change propaganda even after the CIA backed operation has now come to fruition with the overthrow of the Bashar al-Assad government and installation of a pro-western, pro-Zionist government headed by former ISIS, former al-Qaeda leader, Abu Muhammad al-Jolani a.k.a President Ahmad al-Sharaa. This essay argues Begg should focus on the moral sickness closer to home before making unsubstantiated accusations about others.

On one of Begg’s latest trips to post-Assad Syria he amplified the accusations of ‘mass rape’ aimed at the former Syrian government. This time he promoted the accusation that the previous government officials were involved in the sexual assault of imprisoned Palestinians. He has further claimed that Syria’s prisons under the previous government put Guantanamo Bay in the shade ie “relatively tame”. Begg had previously made ‘mass rape’ allegations in an interview with British Bengali journalist Dilly Hussain when it had looked like the Syrian government had fought off the western backed regime change operation. Back then he claimed that in Libya and/or Syria “sisters were raped en masse”. There is scant evidence for this, if any. However, there is a plenitude of evidence of Pakistanis raping women and girls “en masse” in both Pakistan and Britain. One report states that over a half million children in Pakistan are raped annually. There is only one Muslim majority country that is notorious for its ‘mass rape culture’ and that country wasn’t either Syria under Bashar al-Assad or for that matter Libya under Colonel Gadhaffi. During Bangladesh’s War for Independence in the early 1970s the Pakistani occupation forces and its allies is said to have raped at least two hundred thousand women.

William Dalrymple et, al.: The British Aristocratic Fork-Tongue Snake and the Gaza Genocide

A man met another, who was handsome, intelligent and elegant: He asked him who he was. The other said: ‘I am the Devil.’

‘But you cannot be,’ said the first man, ‘for the devil is evil and ugly.’

‘My friend,’ said Satan, ‘you have been listening to my detractors.’ Saadi, Bustan (From Shah’s Reflections)

All nations possess the fork tongued humanoid character and not one single community is immune from this type of person regardless of religion, race and culture. So to single out one community would, in theory, be potentially unfair and indeed discriminatory. Yet one is humbly compelled to make a special case for British supposedly pro-Palestinian fork tongued characters, especially as Britain played the leading formative role in establishing the Zionist-colonial settlers in Palestine. These characters, to all appearances, seem to be genuinely horrified by the never-ending Gaza genocide yet paradoxically continue to express support and always champion the British geopolitical roots of the genocide. In this essay I identify some of the leading characters who play this rotten game as well as spelling out the central historical disconnect which characterises their forked-tongue nature.

If there was a doyen of fork tongued characters then one of the most esteemed historians in the western world, William Dalrymple is up there as the greatest contender for this accolade. When the Palestinian resistance carried out the October 7th 2023 military operation, ‘al-Aqsa Flood’, breaking the siege of Gaza and capturing Zionist colonial settlements Dalrymple was quick to condemn on what can be perceived as an act of heroic resistance against occupation, colonisation and ethnic cleansing. The Palestinian resistance in the besieged Gaza strip had broken through enemy lines, humiliated the Zionist settler-colonial enemy by occupying military bases and capturing leading settler-colonial military personnel in what in this imperialist era is referred to as “southern Israel” or the “Gaza envelope”. In a statement posted on the social media platform, X, before any of the predictable lurid stories were confirmed or corroborated (and inevitably totally debunked) Dalrymple totally accepted the Zionist tales about how the resistance, specifically HAMAS, had allegedly targeted innocents and supposedly committed heinous crimes:

“I am a life-long supporter of the Palestinian search for freedom and statehood” he hissed, Continue reading

Why the Lying Hypocrite Moazzam Begg Should Keep the Great Libyan Omar al-Mukhtar Out of his Mouth

The honourable Libyan anti-imperialist Omar al-Mukhtar is a hero in the Arab world and beyond for resisting Italian occupation, colonialism and imperialism during what is referred to as the inter-war period, that is between World War One and Two. al-Mukhtar was eventually captured and summarily executed by the Italian imperialists. This is a demonstrable fact. The former Guantanamo Bay inmate, the British-Pakistani cause celebre and political icon, Moazzam Begg is in possession of a tenuous relationship with the truth. This too, is a demonstrable fact. In the early part of this decade Begg felt morally qualified to give a lecture about the life of al-Mukhtar. In this essay I argue Begg has an artificial relationship with the truth and is morally unworthy to speak of Omar al-Mukhtar.

In an interview with journalist Dilly Hussain on the 5Pillars news site podcast, “Blood Brothers” Begg shared his thoughts about the regime change war on Syria in the 2010s. In the course of this interview Begg made two glaringly false claims about the regime change war on Libya in 2011 which had preceded the regime change war on Syria. Firstly, he claimed no votes were held to implement a No Fly Zone in Libya in 2011, or to “bomb Libya” as he says. This is false.  There were two votes, one in the United Nations which resulted in the UN resolution 1973 and another vote in the British parliament to implement the UN resolution. The NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) bombing campaign began in March 2011 and officially ended October 2011. This campaign in effect provided air-cover for a motley crew of treacherous, Islamically garbed, foot soldiers to overthrow the Libyan state.

Secondly, Begg makes the customary rape accusations, a standard western imperialist propaganda allegation, when manufacturing consent for regime change. Continue reading
