The Secret Services get your
friends to admit that you are a total shit. A crook, a pederast, despoiler of
virgins or whatever. Friends? Well, the boys have
experience at this business. They play on envy, jealousy, ambivalence or
whatever.
All people, Russians, Germans,
Brits, are the same as are their Secret Services. When the East Germans opened
their Secret Police files to the public, it was found that friends betrayed
friends routinely, just as they do here. They lied and told the Secret Police
what they wanted to hear. They may be frightened or just gratified, or just
vile people, but they do it. And the Cold War was probably just an excuse. (See Philip Knightley on a looking-glass
war in 'States of Secrecy, a Review of the File, a Personal History' by Tim Garton Ash in the Independent, 5 July 1997.)
The CIA do
the same and were taught by the British. Whistle blowers and renegade CIA folk
are hounded around the
Your neighbours
who rat on you are not evil but normal. They may be bad neighbours
with a score to settle, but they are average, ordinary Brits. The Intelligence
guys, however, are total shits, who will make up dirt if they cannot find a
mouth to put it into and extract it as spontaneous grassing. Really principled,
honest, intelligent folk are pretty rare and not a protected species. The
bastards have consciences to warm their hearts. They enjoy being persecuted.
They need the Intelligence Services to harass them, so they can feel like
Christian martyrs. They make the average Secret Service guy going about his proper
business as a super shit feel distinctly queasy and restless.
Why cannot these moral arseholes and principled pricks act human? A good question.

I am a prisoner. I live in
internal exile. No income, no career, no reputation. The Intelligence Services gave
me a life sentence. They can control me whenever they wish, which means
whenever I get near to blowing the whistle on them.
Some Scots boys on the make
are also prisoners. They are politicians, decent blokes at heart, and of course
democrats. They are prisoners too. In theory they control the Secret Services.
In fact, they are prisoners of a system they dare not change. When Ramsay
Macdonald asked to see his Secret Service file he was refused. Harold Wilson
used the Secret Services for dirty jobs and then was surprised when they played
dirty with him. Even Marcia, who had guts, could not make Harold stand up to
them. Because Harold was being blackmailed?
So Tony, Robin and Gordon are
human and have skeletons in their cupboards. So what? Would the Secret Services
dare spill the beans, spread the dirt? Tony and Company are too young to have
dirty hands on
How did Robin Butler not
collapse in fits of laughter when the Cabinet discussed open government? The
man in charge of all intelligence, black government operations, told to bring
in measures which, if honestly operated, would destroy the
In a true democracy those who
have sacrificed a great deal in defence of democracy
would be honoured and not reviled. The secret black
government can destroy my reputation, blacken my character, destroy my career,
spy on me and take away all my rights. The élite
statesmen, officials, dignitaries, Cabinet members, will not lift a finger to
help me. Poor old Tony and Robin and Gordon are guilty of covering up treason,
now that we have found out that there is to be no change of policy towards the
Smiths by New Labour. Tony and Company will pretend that they did not know. No
one will believe them, but they will get away with it as Mrs
Thatcher did every day she was in power, and Robin and Company are her children.
We live in a pretend democracy
which suits New Labour fine. With a massive majority, Tony and Company intend
keeping the black Government intact and may even extend it, for measures will
be needed to outwit and circumvent the supposed Freedom of Information
legislation etc. Nothing will change. The black government will target the
Smiths to prevent the State criminality, condoned by Tony's silence, being
exposed to the British people.
The common people believe that
it is enemies abroad who must be the whole point of having the Secret Services.
Wrong! It is the public who must never find out about the criminal actions of
the secret black government. The British public are
the enemy who must be kept in the dark. The Secret Services exist to stop them
finding out what is being done in their name. The Head of State, the Speaker,
the Lords, the Judges, the Mandarins, the all powerful Cabinet Secretary are
the enemies of democrats like the Smiths. We are dangerous, because we know far
too much and we are honest. All the eminent people who turn away when we plead
for help are not full-time criminals and fascists, only part-timers. Hypocrisy
and self-deception are so common in British public life that the poor feeble
troopers we are writing about, headed now by three new Scottish Musketeers,
would be shocked at our truthful, accurate indictment to which there is no
credible defence whatsoever. Not the ill-educated
trade union barons of old, but the very élite of
University graduates, elected on an anti-sleaze platform and precious little
else of substance.
Tony and Robin and Gordon are
decent people on the make like many a Scot. They are career makers, political
artists, acting out a role.
The Smiths are in hot water as
ever, but it keeps us clean.
