elcome to another episode of the Watchdog with me Loki here on mint press

0:07where we week in week out are investigating the structures of power

0:13which dominate our society and going against the grain by publishing stories

0:19that are often marginalized outside the eyesight and the earshot of the masses

0:27and this week we are here with a special guest who hopefully will be no stranger to our

0:35audience and it seems he has published possibly a seminal text of our time

0:43on what exactly happened with the killing of corbinism in this

0:50country he like me and many others saw it as a window to a better world we saw

0:58it as an opportunity to redistribute political social and economic power in

1:05our society we saw it as an opportunity to widen political participation we saw

1:11it as the chance of a lifetime by our hopes were dashed they were

1:18thrown scattered into a million pieces and thrown into the wind we saw people lose

1:26their livelihoods we saw people lose their sanity we saw people lose their

1:32reputations we saw good people whose aim was only the betterment of their society

1:39lose everything they had as part of the killing of corbinism

1:46people were sacrificed and ASA wins Stanley who is our guest today has been

1:53relentlessly chronicling this process in granular detail you have seen

2:02hundreds of vital stories to understanding what happened in this

2:07country during that time published not just by him but electronic interfer that other writers too

2:13tracking bit by bit with true Watchdog journalism

2:19in in extensive detail what exactly was happening in the labor party it was ASA

2:26who broke the story that Labor uh under case Dharma had employed a former agent

2:33of unit 8200 the um Military Intelligence signals

2:40Communications unit of the Israeli military which specializes in blackmailing Palestinians on information

2:46it has procured through surveillance of them into Labor’s office for the purpose

2:52of quote-unquote social listening it was ASA that broke that story it was ASA

2:58that broke the story about Ella Rose who was former employee of the Israeli

3:04Embassy and went on to lead the Jewish labor movement and it was ASA who broke

3:10the story about Gary lubner the new um

3:15Big Time funder of the labor party who Acer has in the last week or so revealed

3:22to not only be a key Israel lobbyist but also someone that benefited materially

3:28from apartheid South Africa and now Asa has released this book which it’s

3:36essential that we read to understand exactly what happened to all of us and

3:41how the hopes and dreams of millions not only in this country actually but across

3:46the world trying to find a new way that this political unit that we call Britain

3:53can have some type of role in the world which is not destructive and Colonial

4:00and Imperial and we saw corbyn as a chance for that people across the world

4:05understood him as somebody who had been anti-colonial in his mindset at key

4:11points in his life and they thought there was a chance for a better one but

4:17all of that was dashed what happened there sir yeah that’s a big question I think I

4:25think we still don’t fully understand what happened I think we still don’t fully know everything I

4:31have tried to write this book as a first draft really a first attempt of

4:38writing the history of this and I mean they you know they say journalism is the first draft of history and that

4:43is what I’m trying to do here I think that so many things have happened that we don’t know about and that we won’t

4:49know about probably for decades I think that the role of the British deep state in

4:56combating Jeremy corbyn is not fully known and it won’t be known

5:01for a while and you know it may never be fully known we we can’t say for sure but

5:06some of it is known so some of it was out there but I think that the role of the Israel Lobby was far more blatant

5:13but they worked together and so I I think that I did try and I have tried to

5:18get across in my new book that aspect how these different forces of the deep

5:24State really work together so the example that I opened the book with was when was when Corbin was first running I

5:31mean it sticks in everybody’s mind but it’s kind of there were so many things that happened during corbinism for one

5:39of a better phrase but I think it’s a valid term the British media went so crazy that

5:45it’s hard to remember it all and I’ve tried to bring it all together in a coherent narrative so the thing that

5:50really sticks out in my mind one of the things I opened the book with is Sunday Times story from 2015 when corbyn was it

5:58was it was very clear he was going to become the leader of the labor party um a serving senior General in the

6:05British army spoke to the Sunday Times They didn’t name him no doubt it must have been him

6:11I don’t know if any so being senior female generals he said

6:17that if Kobe was to become Prime Minister there would be effectively a

6:23mutiny that was his words there would be rebellions on all levels there’d be effectively immunity and why was that

6:29well that was because he was somebody who was close to the British peace movement

6:34that’s what it comes down to is he’s an anti-war activist and Britain’s

6:40Britain’s Imperial role Britain’s role as an Empire is over in the sense of

6:46running its own Empire but it’s now a vassal state of the American Empire

6:51in effect and Corbin is someone who has worked against that in his political life so

6:59him becoming the leader of the country was just something Unthinkable to these

7:04forces I mean look even on the British left we don’t know the history of this

7:11country of what what the British government has done what the British intelligence Services have done well the

7:17British military has done to undermine British democracy the the term deep state is used commonly by academics for

7:25uh countries like turkey and Egypt um and it you know the the term gets

7:31kind of a bad it’s been kind of devalued in recent years because Donald Trump has

7:36used it and people think it’s some sort of conspiracy theory but it’s not that and you know

7:44Donald Trump occasionally had a point about some of what he was saying because there were elements no doubt of the

7:49American deep State they didn’t like what he was doing they would have preferred someone more like Joe Biden

7:54on the other hand Donald Trump did absolutely work to further ultimately American Empire there’s no doubt about

8:00that like you know when he was saying that we’re going to stay in Northern Syria to keep the oil and all that kind

8:05of stuff we assassinated um the Iranian

8:10uh military commander and politician uh political leader qasim suleimani who’s regarded as a hero by millions in the

8:17Middle East for defeating Isis um anyway bit of a tangent but the point

8:22is that the British deep State the the the term deep state is used for countries like Egypt and turkey because

8:29what does it mean well it means the military and the security and intelligence the Spy apparatus

8:35essentially has a massive amount of influence on how the country is run to say the least it

8:42has a huge amount of influence in in Turkey it’s even reached the point where in the past the military has overthrown

8:49and had coups against the against the government so um and similar things happened in Egypt

8:54as well well I mean I mean also you’ve got the example of Ramsay McDonald when he was

9:00uh standing for prime minister yeah on the labor ticket you had the Zenith

9:06letters that came out which were supposedly from the head of the Communist Party in Russia being sent to

9:15Ramsey McDonald saying we are very excited for your election we support you

9:21we believe it will lead to Greater relationship between the Soviet Union and Britain yeah and then what comes out

9:27after it is that this was a hoax by um uh what seemed to be MI5 offices at

9:36the time yeah and then you have Harold Wilson which you know and Harold Wilson wasn’t

9:42even a Corbin he didn’t allow British troops to join the U.S he wanted to send British troops to Vietnam well he he

9:49didn’t in the end thanks to public pressure partly the Vietnam solidarity campaign that of course then led to the

9:55Spy co-ops and the special demonstration Squad and all of that but even he was too much for the British deep State I mean these are really good examples of

10:02how the fact there is a British deep State and it is still it has long long interfered in preventing democracy

10:08really in this country and it’s still doing that now there’s still absolutely there’s no doubt that it’s doing it now

10:14and he was doing it quite openly against Jeremy corbyn in some regards like just

10:19this this story in the Sunday Times was just a signal it was an open sick it was it was it was it was a sign that they

10:26would take active measures and so you know if that’s what they were doing openly

10:31we can only imagine what they were doing behind closed doors to to

10:37um sabotage this popular movement and I I think it’s so important that we we learn these lessons and um you know I I

10:44get into some of that in my book but I think it’s it’s a far wider project of um political education and

10:50self-education that we have to undergo you know in this in this country

10:56especially that um you know the British intelligence services are completely

11:02unaccountable you gave the example of um Harold Wilson who was really on the soft left of the labor party

11:08um he was an imperialist really essentially he was an appearance responsible for Diego Garcia you know he

11:14was depopulating of Diego and handing over of it to the U.S as a military base and he was um he was very pro-israel as

11:21well but because he had these you know moderately Social Democratic domestic policies it was not enough for the

11:29British deep State they had they they worked against him you know and there’s been some uh there’s been some really

11:34good books about it about the plot against Harold Wilson’s book called smear by uh Robin Ramsey and uh his

11:41co-auth I forget the co-author um but you know these forces the British

11:46British in spy agencies are completely unaccountable to any kind of democratic

11:52control and they don’t want that power taken away from them and so they they work to undermine these kind of popular

11:58movements from within because um you can’t you can’t stand up to

12:03people power ultimate ultimately it can’t be defeated but

12:09it can’t be defeated if there’s if it has solidarity you know if it stays unified if it’s divided against itself

12:15then it can be defeated and I think that that’s what we saw and my book focuses on the Israel Lobby you know the

12:21subtitle to weaponizing anti-Semitism my book is how the Israel Lobby brought down Jeremy corbyn and that’s not to say

12:28that they were the only Factor by any means but what that what the state of Israel and its Lobby

12:35did was they provided the most powerful political weapon to the British deep state to the

12:42American deep state to the whole of the political right in this country to work against corbyn everybody

12:50from the right wing of the labor party to the conservative party so the fascist

12:56right is now has that still now has this powerful weapon to say you lot are

13:03anti-semitic you lot you a lot of the real racists this is the idea because they’re also devaluing and they’re

13:09delegitimizing the whole concept of racism you know it’s been the

13:14anti-racist movement has has become so successful that you know popular

13:20movements over the decades time and time again the most recent one being black lives matter they’ve it’s become so

13:26successful that it is cut it is a badge of Shame rightfully to be racist in this country but then you can still have the

13:32Prime Minister the former prime minister of the country saying openly racist things and not being held account to

13:38account for it and obviously I’m talking about Boris Johnson um and I won’t repeat some of the things he said because they’re really

13:44disgusting but they was never there was never any accountability for him and now they’re sort of trying to find him

13:50guilty of having a party here and there which I don’t think most people care about to be frank with you

13:55um although you know obviously there was lockdown going on and you know I’m not saying there’s no validity to it at all

14:00but in comparison to his other crimes I would say is pretty relatively small

14:06um anyway the point is that you know I mean I’ve heard tell from

14:12anti-fascist activists and I’m sure you’ve heard the same thing you know when they’re trying to oppose British

14:18fascists these days like you know counter demonstrations against anti-immigrant campaigners and you know

14:25and I don’t even want to call them campaigners just you know basically a bunch of fascist Rebel outside the hotel

14:30trying to sort of attack uh refugees and Asylum Seekers

14:36um some of the most desperate people in willfully Wars though we’ve often caused in the first place the the British

14:41government um you know anti-racist campaigners are

14:46trying to act against them and they get the fascists coming back to them saying Oh you lot you all support you know you

14:54and Jeremy corbyn you’re the real racists because you’re anti-semitic yeah well they don’t even know what it means

14:59most of the time you know you don’t even understand the concept they don’t know what anti-Semitism is and they probably

15:05some of them are anti-semitic themselves you know genuinely actually really anti-semitic but this idea of

15:12anti-Semitism most of the time when it’s raised in this country is actually not

15:18prejudice against Jews or hatred of Jews as Jews it is

15:23when it’s being raised in this country is actually what is meant is opposition

15:28to Israel yeah is opposition to Zionism the political ideology the dispossessed

15:35nearly a million Palestinians yeah five years ago to found the racist state of

15:40Israel the settler Colonial entity um and so this is you know anti-Semitism

15:46is something that has happened historically yeah um and um you know but today the whole

15:53concept has been completely devalued into basically a political weapon to oppose change to preserve the status quo

16:00so so what we’re talking about is the formation of a trilateral uh Security

16:06State which consists of the U.S Israel and Britain in which they Outsource

16:13their problems to each other so for instance your recent piece

16:19um with kit clarenberg about the Palestinian Authority uh the the traitorous

16:26um scumbags of the Palestinian Authority who kill Palestinians for Israel

16:32um that it is basically commanded

16:38by figures former figures of British intelligence who work for the Adam Smith

16:44Institute which has contracts from the British government so it’s like the neoliberalization of spy Corps it’s no

16:52longer government bodies it’s organizations that are outsourced by

16:58government bodies yeah with names that kind of obscure what exactly their

17:03function is now the interesting things you have the establishment of this trilateral state which acts together in

17:11concert yes there is spying on each other yeah yes there is

17:19competition sometimes but generally there is a complete consensus about what

17:25their policy is the British benefit from the creative

17:31ambiguities of acting as the um the the troubled conscience of of of old

17:41school imperialists and they’re they’re able to and it’s you know that kind of leads us on to this question of the

17:47right Institute study of London in 2011 which I think is absolutely vital for

17:54all of us to have a good understanding of because what it does is it creates a designation of pro-palestinian activists

18:02and actors in London specifically but in the country as a whole now it designates

18:11Critics on one hand of Israel and delegitimizers of Israel

18:17now this is a room which contains solely delegitimizers certainly and and you

18:25know the the influence of the Roy Institute is important it’s huge because when you even look at that study

18:31particularly who is thanked in assisting in the production of that study yes

18:36Jeremy Bowman Jeremy Bowen is it Bowen or Bowen uh Bowen Bowen from

18:43the BBC is thanks so he contributed his correspondence Middle East

18:48for the BBC contributed to the Roy institute’s

18:54um study which was Israel the vast number of people yeah but but it took place though under

19:01the auspices of Israeli intelligence basically this study this is a you know

19:06ostensibly a non-governmental think tank but it it’s a cut out for the Israeli State and it says in it that we thank

19:13this particular figure from these governments very clear is closer Ministry the intelligence and funded by

19:20the same people that funded the same organizations that killed corbinism yeah now

19:25those designations exist for us and they determine the type

19:31of policy which is aimed at us so the delegitimizers are said to receive

19:38attack and sabotage wherever possible the critics now now this is where we go

19:45in an interesting Direction because we the the publicly aggressive Lobby groups

19:52stood up and identified themselves and this is one of I think the greatest

19:57failures of that period of time is that appeasement became a knee-jerk

20:03instinctive response by people who should know better right now it wasn’t

20:09even thought about it was just done yes so attack and sabotage is aimed at delegitimizers but critics

20:16are subject to sophisticated engagement strategy yeah these are you’re quoting

20:22it this is the exact words sophisticated engagement strategies so then surely for

20:28us our job is to actually analyze what are the sophisticated engagement

20:34strategies yeah that are targeted at the critics because what they say is they

20:40want to draw a wedge between the critics and the legitimizers yeah separate them

20:45yeah and this is basically what happened with labor labor was told be a Critic

20:50rely on international law don’t mention Zionism talk about a two-state solution

20:56embrace the Palestinian Authority that is the pro-palestinianism which is

21:01allowed in this country yeah the delegitimizers read electronic into father

21:07donate to Palestine action and listen to my music this is the wedge that was drawn the the

21:14critics are allowed to have membership of uh unions like GMB

21:21or even receive funding from unions like GMB yeah so then the question here is

21:28understanding that there’s this designation that has been applied to all of us

21:33what happened next I think the sophisticated engagement strategies were

21:39the Jewish labor movement and primarily primarily the Jewish labor

21:45movement the labor friends of Israel as well to a lesser extent but I don’t think that was particularly

21:51sophisticated because it was I mean look they you know I think it was

21:56very clear who they were um even though you weren’t allowed to say they’re a throat group for the

22:01Israeli Embassy they blatantly were and they were caught on camera by Al Jazeera saying that essentially

22:07um Michael Rubin who is now the full-time director of Labor friends of

22:13Israel was caught on camera by Al Jazeera saying that we

22:19Joan Joan Ryan then the main MP leading labor friends of Israel will talk too

22:26shy most days shy myself being ostensibly the representative of the Israeli

22:33Embassy but was actually essentially an Israeli intelligence agent for the ministry of strategic Affairs so you

22:39have Labor friends of Israel its main MP is leading MP taking Direction essentially most days from the

22:47Israeli Embassy absolutely no doubt is still doing the same thing now as the cutout for the Israeli Embassy and I

22:52think most people you know even on the left of the labor party such as it is

22:58words at least privately they’ve probably perceived yeah it’s close to the Israeli Embassy but when it comes

23:05the Jewish labor movement was more sophisticated because in the sense of it was able to create more of an

23:12effective wedge because then you’ve got people with political opportunists

23:19no doubt but people with a massive platform are talking about Owen Jones especially whereas who has a mainstream

23:27massive mainstream platform is on the mainstream news all the time here’s the

23:33acceptable voice of the British left um he is who the mainstream media says

23:39is is the acceptable extreme of the left um and he was he was engaged

23:45he was engaged with this sophisticated engagement and he was able to say well I support the Palestinians I oppose the

23:52settlements um but I’m against all this anti-Semitism and Ken Livingston should be expelled for the labor party for

23:59stating historical factors for staying historical facts about Nazi uh Nazi Zionist collaboration in 1930 which has

24:06been extensively covered by in Hebrew in English there’s even for example on this

24:12issue of Nazi collaboration with the Israelis there’s been um dramatizations and series made about

24:20it in Hebrew yeah it’s a fact it had it happened and you know still nowadays the Israeli

24:27state collaborates with far-right groups it absolutely happens and if you look at the discourse between jabatinsky and Ben

24:34Gurion during that time Ben-Gurion is referring to Japanese guys

24:39as brown shirts yeah uh jabotinski is calling bengurion and Little Hitler yeah

24:45today you have Israeli political analysts and even members of the knesset

24:51calling Netanyahu and bengavir Nazis yeah this this course is

24:58completely permissible for some people yeah but to speak in these terms we are

25:06dancing all over the ihra yeah no it’s just a fact you know I mean uh

25:13you know our friend David Miller he you know one of the world’s foremost experts in the Israel

25:20Lobby I would say certainly you know certainly in this country um he you know fired from his job at

25:30Bristol University because he’s an anti-zionist even though he was found

25:36completely innocent of academicism by independent investigations he said the

25:41other day and I talk he did the other day he said something along the lines of I don’t know any other way than to speak

25:46the truth and you know yeah I identify with that because I think it

25:52you have to speak the truth and this is what happened it’s a fact that there’s no point in not talking about it like

25:58well it tells us something the fact that it’s really interesting you know you make you made a really good point about actually both main science factions of

26:05the Zionist movement the state of Israel now um they both sort of called each other

26:11Fashions that’s interesting you know both sites but the the ostensible design is left in the sensible Zone that’s

26:16right and they were kind of both right because they those those those those links did exist you know the the right

26:23wing zionists infamously actually reached out to the

26:30Nazi government to try and offered to strike an alliance a formal alone in 1941. yeah during the second world war

26:36and said we’ll go along with the Madagascar plan we’ll fight on the German side in World War II yeah they

26:44offered that um you know they’re gone it’s a historical fact argue with history I

26:49mean argue with the books that have been written about it it’s not us saying this is the document is there and um

26:56and you know the this as sensible Zionist left actions is a lot more than offer two

27:03they actually collaborated with um they actually collaborated with the Nazis so the the German I mean I have a

27:09whole chapter about it in my book so people can read all the details there but um and also there was the whole instance

27:16which we won’t have time to get into but of um the Hungarian Zionist leaders who really

27:23collaborated with um with the Holocaust and Israel katzner yeah you know this

27:28was a famous case in in Israeli history this was somebody who was very close to

27:35ben-gorian and many perceive many perceive that his libel case that he

27:43launched against um a gentleman who had been who someone

27:49from I don’t know if I actually remember wrongly but I think the person that was

27:54handing out leaflets talking about his collaboration with the Nazis this is Israel Katana I think his second name

28:00was Greenstein but I might be wrong

28:05but he so what happens is Israel katzner is a high-profile figure in the Israeli

28:13labor party um and he ends up trying to sue someone accusing him of collaborating with

28:19Eichmann and the Nazis yeah and it goes into court and it becomes very apparent

28:27that actually he did yeah and the interesting thing about that is that he

28:33did it at the behest of the leadership of the Zionist movement at the time rezo rezo katzner

28:40um also known as Israel has now he he didn’t want to sue but he was forced to by the leadership

28:47of the labor zionists because it was embarrassing for them long story short

28:52the guy ended up being assassinated by by the shin bear and the documents have been sealed for almost 100 years the

28:59documents have been sealed and um they are yeah they’re unlikely to ever be

29:05opened up until Palestine is liberated if they still exist you know yeah um at

29:10that point but they um yeah so you know this guy became an embarrassment and he was off and um

29:16because there was this big libel trial and um it’s just a fact yeah it’s just the fact you know and Ken Livingston

29:22mentioning it but how whatever your opinion is of of the way a person says

29:28something okay let’s just say for the sake of

29:35argument I don’t agree but just say for the sake of argument what Carolyn said was undiplomatic because I’ve had some people sort of argue that it doesn’t

29:41matter okay it doesn’t matter what are you saying you should have been was it wrong for being was it romantic no you

29:48know we needed a little a little less diplomacy and a bit more fire yeah and and the thing was is they were able to

29:56um un and dehumanizing stigmatizing demonize him you know this someone who

30:01was a a kind of an iconic figure of the labor party historically mayor of

30:10London you know um and they they threw him to the wolves

30:15and so really the writing was on the wall from that point that others would

30:20be sacrificed in the same way yeah this is this is it because

30:25this was the problem like so they were attacking Jeremy corbyn

30:31straight away from the summer of 2015 they were attacking him on this issue straight away they were accusing him around semitism saying he was an

30:37extremist on and on and on at first and this is what I try and Trace the lines

30:43of in my book because it would be impossible to to to recount every single instance of of

30:51this I tried it was a factory it was a factory it was a smear Factory it really was and I it was it was impossible to

30:57keep up with it all and in a way you don’t want to just debunk everything you want to stop things from happening in the first place but what I tried to show

31:04in the book and I think I’ve succeeded in doing is it started off attacking Jeremy corbyn

31:10personally he’s a racist he’s an extremist blah blah blah blah didn’t fully take off at first the

31:17reason being Jeremy corbyn is not a racist he’s not announced semi and people could see through it and a lot of

31:22these things were debunked and straight away they were attacking him on saying well you know oh they’re implying he was

31:30anti-semitic they were trying to imply it and say oh well you know you called Hamas your friends and all this kind of

31:36things well you know Hamas is whatever you think of it is a popular Palestinian

31:41political party and more importantly it is the leader of the Armed resistance

31:47which Palestinians support whether people like that or not is irrelevant it’s it’s not anti-Semitism and it’s a

31:54right of all occupied people according to multiple U.N resolutions um and democratically elected government

32:01exactly this is it that so it was it was [Music] um it didn’t

32:07it was sort of rolling on in the background and it was an irritant and annoyance and it made things difficult

32:13but it didn’t start to explode really until they they decided okay that’s not

32:19working we’ll try some the same thing but slightly differently we’ll go for the people around Corbin yeah we’ll go

32:26for the people around Corbin so even before Ken Livingston it was this event

32:32which a lot of people forget but was I think was really important was

32:38um what happened at Oxford University labor Club so I I have a whole chapter well two

32:45chapters really about what happens here in my book and people can read all the details there but in a nutshell

32:52at Oxford University labor Club there was an allegation and it became a big

32:57National story um and even had International Dimensions there was a columnist a prominent common

33:03columnist in the New York Times who who wrote a column about it

33:09um about oh an anti-Semitism of the left and the story in the national press was

33:14the leader or the co-chair of the Oxford University labor Club you know student

33:20is a fancy name for a student Society labor party student Society had quit his

33:26position because of anti-Semitism there’s a terrible you know they they announced the investigation

33:32um Ed Miller Band the former leader of labor party canceled a planned speaking event at Ulster University labor Club it

33:38was it was on all these headlines it was a terrible scandal um but there was no basis to it there

33:45was no evidence there was no you know no one asked any questions about it you know there was no evidence right and so

33:52when the when the guy his name was Alex young guy named Alex Chalmers he posted uh his resignation statement

34:01on Facebook about it you know I’ve I’ve quite formated my book I’ve still got the screenshots now although it’s

34:06deleted what he actually said was I’ve resigned yes he accused people of

34:13anti-Semitism but there was nothing specific there was no specific allegations except what he said was oh

34:20they voted in favor of Israel apartheid week yeah so you know the labor Club is

34:26deciding that he’s going to campaign for Palestinian equality and raise awareness of Israeli apartheid but instead of

34:33being able to do that he’s ignited this big National Scandal over a completely manufactured and invented idea of

34:39anti-Semitism in the labor party and this was really really important not

34:45just for that one that one story which was just one of many stories but it really started for

34:52two main reasons it started this trend of um people around Jeremy corbyn being

34:59attacked and it spread it so it spread it to the wider movement and that meant that you know obviously the people Corbin and

35:06his people were going to protect Corbin but then if there was you know some Pro Corbin student at the lab at Labor are

35:13they are they gonna protect him probably not they’re probably might consider him Expendable and um

35:20so people started people around corbyn started to be picked off one by one by

35:25one by one and that was ultimately in the end years later a few years later it

35:30led to the political assassination of Jeremy corbyn himself and the decapitation of the movement it was a

35:36war of attrition it was a war of trition absolutely and um you know you have to hand it to the enemy to the Israel and

35:43his Lobby they they they they did that successfully you know they did they didn’t give it up you know even in the

35:50altazira documentary the undercover altazira document which exposed this Israeli uh effectively in Israeli

35:56intelligence agent yeah an Israeli spy shy massage um he said it he said Don’t Let It Go

36:02when it was asked for advice about Jackie Walker who was one of these pro-corbing people yeah picked off Don’t

36:08Let It Go just keep keep on no no no no no no they did they did do that so the second reason why that was important

36:14uh in the smear campaign was because what it started was the first

36:22investigation the first of many many investigations into so-called anti-Semitism in the labor party I lost

36:28you know I I can’t remember my book I believe it’s about six or seven

36:33different investigations yeah and that was the first one it was the labor students investigation was never

36:40published it was never officially endorsed it was kind of hushed up but I did manage to obtain it yeah I didn’t

36:45publish it I published some extracts from it I didn’t publish it because it was a completely libelous document yeah

36:51it just met there was stuff in it that I managed to show was completely made up so I have a question here now and sorry

36:59one more thing yeah the guy who wrote it was then soon after given a job in labor

37:04friends of Israel and it would and he admitted to working closely with shy massage there you go so so so now now

37:10give us Asa um where because what people will say we

37:16do is we assume a lack of agency so they say okay these groups might be

37:23pro-israel yeah but they personally feel aggrieved by what they deemed to be

37:30anti-Semitism they say to us where’s your proof this is being directed by the

37:36political unit the alleged state of Israel breakdown for us where that issue of

37:44Direction comes into it because there’s things that you know I’m happy to play

37:49wingman on this answer but I’d love to hear you break down what I would say to

37:54that right is I’m sure CIA agents feel personally

38:00agree that whatever justification comes in their mind that American freedom is being crashed in in but specifically in

38:08this case that break it down for us so um yeah I mean what I would say is yeah of

38:14course the people in these groups they probably believe a lot of what they say yeah I think I don’t think they

38:20believe everything they say well I mean in a way you just gave me an example with shea Masood and he’s talking about don’t have a job this is a directive

38:27given by an Israeli government officials I mean but yeah but it’s it’s like it’s

38:33they work together and these these groups these prior Israel groups so this whole idea of oh

38:39oh you know you’ve taken away their agency I just think it’s a load of rubbish because

38:45they it is proven and shown that they act in close coordination with

38:53like that’s the whole point why would you have a pro Israel group if it’s not going to work closely with the state of

38:58Israel you know one of the pictures that I love is I always try to yeah is the

39:04picture that you are electronic into father published of Ella Rose

39:09next to um in front of David Cameron next to Israeli Embassy Personnel probably the

39:16Israeli Ambassador I think at the time I think when she worked there you know who else was in the picture

39:21the convicted frauds for Gerald Ronson right yeah yeah so

39:27there’s a united front being shown here of Israeli Embassy employees as well as

39:33the head of the CST well I think I think that photo was actually the heads of the

39:39different Israel Lobby groups CST Board of deputies uh jrc and so forth there

39:46was another picture where she was posing with um uh the former Ambassador and

39:51with Jeremy Newmark yeah yeah but I mean that in itself tells you something that

39:57these groups are so intermingled yeah they act they literally have revolving doors between them so she’s gone she

40:03worked in the Israeli Embassy and she’s gone straight from the Israeli Embassy to the Jewish labor movement and and tell us about the board of deputies

40:10trustees report 2020. yeah so the board of deputies is um all the deputies of

40:17British Jews it’s a very old organization you know it’s um

40:22you know it started in the 18th century I believe um but right up until

40:28the 1940s it was anti-zionist um but in the 1940s it was it was

40:36essentially a hostile takeover by the Zionist movement and I think this is something we don’t know enough about actually and if you

40:42read uh Paul Kellerman’s book which I relied on for some quite extensively actually for my book you know brilliant

40:50um Manchester University academic he wrote a definitive study of

40:56um the British left and Zionism subtitle history of a divorce it’s a really good

41:02book it’s really reasonable you know there’s a lot of academics who um frankly terrible Raptors he’s not one of

41:08them he’s a good writer as well as being a good researcher um and um in that he explains and this

41:16has been explained by other um by some you know anti-zionist uh

41:22academics and so forth of the concept of enzionism of the conquests of Zionism

41:30and um the way Paul Kellerman explains is there was there was three Conquest

41:36Central to the success of Zionism number one was the conquest of Labor number two

41:41was a conquest of land and number three was a conquest of community

41:46of of a Congress of communities um which is a little bit more complex and will come too the first one the

41:53complex of labor was essentially um

41:58uh replacing Palestinian coming to Palestine colonizing Palestine and

42:04getting rid of Palestinian workers and that’s what you get yeah

42:10get rid of the Palestinian workers replacing them with Jewish workers yeah colonies number two conquest of land

42:17physical conquest of the land yeah number three was the conquest of communities now that’s more complex

42:23because the first two are more about Palestine number three is the Congress what is meant by Congress or communities

42:29is the Congress of Jewish communities yeah in Europe and in and in Iraq and in

42:35around the world yeah yeah yeah and what was meant by that was taking over the institutions yeah the institution

42:42institutional bodies of Worlds jury and conquering them for Zionism and that was

42:48you know to a large extent outside of um uh religious Ultra Orthodox communities

42:55and um outside of um you know secular left-wing anti-zcionists

43:02that was that was done to a very large extent and so this is a long way to go about saying that the board of deputies

43:08of British Jews essentially claims to represent all Jews but is actually really

43:13in large part an Israel Lobby organization that’s what it spends most of its time doing and the document that

43:19you mentioned spells that out it says we have a quote close working relationship with the

43:24Embassy of Israel including the Israeli military spokesman and the ministry of

43:30strategic Affairs which is essentially an Israel well it’s now been uh supposedly disbanded but in reality

43:36folded into other Ministries but it was really a semi-covert Israeli sabotage

43:42agency precisely for this kind of Road Institute to advise staff that you

43:48mentioned since 2009 and a series of reports by The Rage Institute starting

43:53in around about 2009 2010 2011. the the recommended strategy was quote as you

44:00said sabotage and attack hubs of what they call delegitimization uh in the west and they especially

44:06focused on London um and other you know what they regarded as delegitimization Palestine solidarity

44:14centers of Palestine solidarity around the world I mean it’s interesting you mentioned the conquest of communities there’s an

44:21amazing book by Abba shibla um called um the law of Zion and it’s looks in in

44:28intense detail at the campaign in Iraq to get what was referred to as Zionist

44:34in Misery by Zionist the Mysteries at that time as good human material so the

44:40Iraqi Jewish Community ancient Community um had attained a certain level of not

44:48only political but economic power in Iraq throughout the British Mandate of Mesopotamia

44:53but former Finance Minister prominent member of the Iraqi Jewish Community

44:58um to Aid in what Yusuf and Kabir who was an Iraqi Jewish lawyer in the 30s

45:04their militant archeology that’s what he called Zionism a form of militant archeology and that campaign is

45:12fascinating because not only does it um involve the provision of key

45:20um social assistance that one might imagine it even ends up in seemingly in

45:28in shiblock’s book he he he makes the claim that both the British Embassy the

45:35U.S embassy and the Iraqi government had a consensus that the the the the the

45:42the bombing of synagogues in Iraq including cafes that

45:49were frequented by Jewish people had taken place by

45:54um Israeli intelligence in 1951 because they’d been able to pass something called the

45:59denaturalization law said is somebody who they’d been cultivating

46:05at least since the 20s and 30s so at one point they tell future was an Iraqi

46:12political figure who went on to be prime minister in 1951. now he was somebody who had shown a

46:19willingness to um carry out a population transfer

46:25this was back in the 20s and the 30s whereby Iraqi Jews would be sent to Palestine

46:31and Palestinians would be taken into Iraq outstanding plan of Zionism was to express population Palestinians to Iraq

46:38yeah and so what he then did in 51 was he passed this law which would allow

46:44Iraqi Jews to leave their Iraqi citizenship give up their property and

46:51anything they owned and become Israelis right now what about does in

46:58this book is he tracks the exact figures of people months by months that took up

47:05this offer and so he looks at the first three months from the denaturalization law was passed and it’s very small uptake yeah

47:12you know from the centers like Basra and Baghdad which had ancient words why

47:17didn’t they go to why would they go to this the the statement had been at war with the state had been at war with you

47:24know the the the the the period of 48 and the war with you know the

47:30governmental and monarchy um betrayal in some ways had been

47:37popular you know the the the Iraq’s participation in the war in Palestine

47:43was widely supported in Iraqi Society legislation had been passed you know

47:48despite the fact that the government um like I say had uh had ultimately

47:54fallen in line with the hashemite position which was to facilitate Israel

47:59basically um they had passed legislation against uh Zionism in the society in general

48:06however and the interesting thing is that whether it was the third or the fourth

48:12month I can’t remember exactly but it was the month when the Turning Point happened these bombings took place

48:19then people leave at 100 over 100 000 people leave

48:25um but then when they get to Palestine they find themselves into there’s an amazing uh documentary about insa

48:31Baghdad um which speaks to some of these people that had taken this journey and they say

48:38that when we got to Palestine we were left in camps yeah and the

48:44Israelis sprayed us with DDT when we got off the plane and we had to

48:51um you know and then this goes into the stratification within Israeli Society on racial lines racism again Zionism was

48:57racist against um you know against Jews as well Jews

49:03who were from Arab countries and they considered them to be

49:09sort of uh posits these people as Arab victims of Jewish victims of Zionism

49:15Arab Jewish victims of science but you know obviously we do know that

49:21there’s a heavy heavy uh contingent supporting the the most right-wing

49:26Zionist policies Within These communities now of what they call them is but you know at that particular time

49:33this was a group of people viewed as useful human material but it’s just really interesting the way that that

49:39conquest of communities manifested in different contexts he had the situation in Egypt for example

49:45um uh Lavon the Israeli Minister of Defense now this is an interesting one it’s not like Iraq Israeli government

49:51take credit for it so during Abdul NASA’s time you have bombs placed at positions of U.S

49:59importance but also positions of Jewish importance in Egypt by Israeli intelligence to the extent that Lavon

50:06even got an award by the Israeli government for this this operation yeah

50:13it’s called the Lavon Affair in Israel because it I forget it all came out you

50:20know in Israel like some years later and there was some Scandal over it but it wasn’t the fact that the Israeli state

50:27had carried out this massive Terror operation against primarily Jewish Targets in Egypt

50:36um as a false flag um in order to basically provoke war with Egypt

50:42um it I forget what that wasn’t the Scandal the Scandal was some relatively minor political thing I forget all the

50:48details of it now but it was just yeah they hadn’t done it effectively enough or something like that but that all came

50:53out and that was all proven but it’s still now not really considered to be much of a problem you know it’s kind of

51:00a forgotten bit of History the the Iraqi I mean the the the Jewish community in

51:06Egypt was relatively small I think but the Iraqi Jewish Community was was fairly large and it was

51:13I was very ancient as well you know so um yeah I mean I think that is a massive

51:18I mean I personally have no doubt whatsoever that um Mossad was behind those bombings of synagogues and and um

51:26um other Jewish Community areas in Iraq you know it they absolutely drove all

51:32that um I think it I saw an interview with the um the Academia Kevin schlain

51:38was a really interesting um it’s a really interesting and impressive historian who um you know he

51:45uh he’s often described as Israeli I would uh to me he’s an Israeli he’s an

51:50Iraqi Jew that’s it um um he’s an interesting character because I think he’s kind of moves more

51:56anti-zionist over the years but anyway that’s as maybe but the point is his background is from Iraq I think he might

52:02have even been born in Iraq certainly his parents well yeah um and um he did an interview some years

52:09ago with Asante Mimi and he asked him about these incidents yeah and he’s he

52:15and he said you know what have you found anything in the archives about this and he said well I did check the Israeli

52:20archives but I couldn’t find any concrete evidence of this but he said every single member of my family

52:27believes that was done by the muscle so that is widely known and you know that

52:34is widely known within those communities I mean it’s interesting well I think that is something that will probably

52:39come out in the future and then with the yemeni community this is the other thing you think the children were kidnapped

52:46literally kidnapped by by um white Jewish families yes by the

52:52state yes by the by the Israel and the parents were shown Graves so I

52:58understand we’re talking about yemeni Jewish population that is

53:04another ancient population by hook or by crook is it lured into Israel

53:10the children were kidnapped from these yemeni families it’s again it’s another

53:16scandalism Israel which is not talked about in the worst and the yemeni families were told your children died in

53:22birth and were shown Graves the children who were not dead and who had been kidnapped and taken into

53:28Ashkenazi you know I mean this is white supremacy would you want to call it twice yes absolutely yeah

53:36um you know what I’m sort of partly interested in as well when you were talking about the far right aspect is

53:42you know we can’t forget that Tommy Robinson he was a Shellman fellow at the you know

53:49because the the far right were also making uh Leaps and Bounds during this

53:54time you know until Tommy Robinson was taken off of social media he was

54:00reaching millions of people Dale through social media now I’m not I’m not one of

54:06these people that sort of gets the state to then shut down people whose opinions

54:12I don’t agree with but when you look at also his funding and you understand that okay he was a Shulman fellow at the

54:19David Horowitz Freedom Center okay David Horowitz well-known Israel lobbyist that’s a fact Robert shillman though was

54:26on the board of the friends of the IDF at the same time as he was given a calling to Lucy Brown ten thousand uh

54:33pounds or dollars a month Tommy Robinson um as a shillman fellow which was a

54:39position also shared by Ben Shapiro Tommy Robinson then goes through his court situation who pays his legal fees

54:46the Middle East forum who leads the Middle East Forum Greg Roman who’s a

54:51former employee of the Israeli Ministry of Defense in the Israeli foreign Ministry so in a way there’s direct role of

55:00people involved with the mechanics of the Israeli state

55:06pushing Tommy Robinson and His ideas in British Society you look at Katie Hopkins in a way there was a bit of a

55:12split here because at one point the board of deputies um you know issued statements against

55:18Katie Hopkins but Katie Hopkins received a huge amount of support inside occupied Jerusalem by the Israeli man of

55:26Jerusalem who’s now gone on to a higher government position under the Netanyahu government

55:32um and Katie Hopkins was also supported by David Horowitz Freedom Center so in a way you’ve got you know when we were

55:39talking earlier about racism it’s like we have had and explicitly islamophobic foreign policy

55:47as long as I’ve been alive there’s been people that I consider myself to have an affinity with on the

55:54other side of British government and U.S government and Israeli government which is the trilateral security state which

56:01lurches over us on the bottom of those bombs so this is State sanctioned racism

56:08that is just the norm and yet at the same time we’re seeing an opportunity for us to to widen political

56:15participation in decision making in the society or we’re the ones called the races when we’ve been working all these

56:21years against the racism which has hurt us and hurt our families yeah yeah this is where we reached her and this is why

56:28it this is why it was such a powerful weapon because it really got it really

56:34got to people and you know people sometimes say to me well was it all the Israel lobby wasn’t

56:40it brexit I’m not saying it was all the Israel Lobby that’s not the point the point is that it this was the most

56:46damaging weapon that was used against this popular movement in a way that brexit

56:53wasn’t and because to be you know okay people have different

56:58you know opinions over brexit at the end of the day so what the point is

57:05Jeremy corbyn was being attacked personally attacked as something that actually go to his heart

57:12which was or you’re racist you know I think he probably started to believe not that he was racist but oh

57:18maybe there’s something in all this so maybe I need to do something about it and this was the problem you know this

57:24was the real problem because they were beating a delegitimizer into a Critic

57:29yeah yeah yeah I think I think uh

57:35I think that was that was the project absolutely you know and um

57:40uh it was it was incredibly damaging because ultimately it was it was divide and Rule and it was like you said it was

57:47what they called what the riot Institute called the the wedge strategy yeah because they know this is why sabotage

57:55and attack was so important for them it wasn’t um winning hearts and Minds no no but

58:02but that’s also because they knew they can’t and and they’ve also with you know the science movement has always been top

58:08heavy yeah it’s always been top heavy because it’s never been massively successful in an organic Grassroots way

58:15it has always had this Israel doesn’t have a membership yeah if you look at people people informally say oh they’re

58:22a member of Labor friends of Israel if you go on to labor frenzy as well website and you try to join as a member

58:27you can’t there’s no membership form yeah because they they in the past they

58:33did have members decades ago but again this is something Paul Kellerman talks about they had to wrap it up because

58:38they they didn’t have enough supporting them instead they get supporters who are

58:43the supporters their MPS their Lords you know they’re these prominent figures within the labor party yeah

58:50um so you know it’s um it shows they don’t have they don’t they don’t have

58:55the people on their side they don’t have any kind of mass movement all they have is lobbying money

59:01and delegitimization and just dirty dirty tactics and smears essentially and

59:07they do have a lot of money this is a fact and um we don’t talk about it enough we don’t I mean part of the

59:13reason we don’t talk about it enough because we don’t know enough about it because it’s completely opaque yeah but

59:18shy massage Infamous one million pounds where was it going where did it go we

59:23don’t know we still don’t know they claim it was for trips for young people yeah as well yeah but I mean that’s

59:29that’s the Drop in the Ocean yeah you know one million pounds when we when we think of across these years what has

59:35flown in and out you know and there’s Pastor organizations this is the truth and they I’m sure they buy MPS I’m sure

59:42they do but because not all of these people like who was Joan Ryan anyway yeah and who is this guy what is it

59:48Steve I can’t remember any of their names who is Joan Bryan’s successor I think his name’s Steve Reed yeah who is

59:54he no one’s heard of him yeah but here’s the question then ASA is um how does

1:00:00that lead us into your Latest Scoop which is Gary lubner yeah so the the one of the big

1:00:09cleavages within the Corbin years and one of the potentials for change that we saw that you talked about at the beginning was that you know one of the

1:00:17things that was changed that did briefly change in the labor party was the potential to involve a mass

1:00:25movement of people you know for good for some sort of positive change in the

1:00:30country and one of the ways that that would have been done and they did start to happen to an extent was to remove the

1:00:38corporate lobbying money from politics and to replace it with people with

1:00:43people power and you know Jeremy corbyn ultimately left the labor party in very

1:00:49good Financial shape and that was because um it was supported by a mass movement

1:00:56of members which would was nearing 600 000 people at its height you know it was

1:01:02um reaching record levels in the labor party you know under Tony Blair the labor party became this corporate husk

1:01:08which was financed by major corporate donors essentially uh the leading light

1:01:14of which of course was Michael Levy infamously known as Lord CashPoint

1:01:20um because he was he was himself a donor um to uh Tony Blair’s neoliberal labor

1:01:27party but more importantly he rallied other big businessmen big

1:01:33businessmen to support labor newly the new labor project

1:01:38um and he was he was a very influential uh Israel lobbyist and so you know that

1:01:44all fed the direction of neoliberal pro war pro Israel labor under Tony Blair

1:01:51and the corbiners that started to change because just the very fact that Corby was in

1:01:58charge of it meant all these big donors started pulling out and some of them actually had made loans which was really

1:02:04interesting they’d made loads of the labor party well they started to call those loans in when Corbin came in and they were all

1:02:11making a big fuss about oh we’re gonna We’re Not Gonna donate any more and you know probably just said okay good

1:02:17you know so that was good but the problem of course now is that

1:02:22200 000 people who joined the labor party to vote for Corbin have now been kicked out essentially kicked out or

1:02:29pushed out of the labor party in some way by the purges of the membership that have happened under case Dharma and that

1:02:37really let’s be honest began in the corbyn Years um

1:02:42now you know as especially targeting the pro-palestinian left Palestine

1:02:47solidarity activists and so forth now those 200 000 people have also taken

1:02:53their membership fees with them so this was what was replacing the corporate donors was just small small bonus

1:02:58individual people giving their monthly uh whatever it was five or six pounds or whatever it was

1:03:05um and and then at election time rallying around putting in 20 pounds whatever it is needed and that was

1:03:10incredibly successful you know it was never talked about by that and you know we saw similar things happen with other

1:03:16Insurgent campaigns Like Bernie Sanders and so forth that people power has now gone and it’s we’re bringing with the

1:03:23playwrights are back in and so is looking for big donors again and he’s

1:03:29bringing them back in and it was announced earlier this month by the financial times which basically did

1:03:36a puff piece interview with this guy that one of these big donors and potentially the biggest one is going to

1:03:42be a man called Gary lubner now Gary lubner you know I read the article it didn’t say it

1:03:49didn’t say that he was an Israel lobbyist but I thought yeah let me look the guy up I bet he is

1:03:55and sure lo and behold he is an active donor and financier of the Israel Lobby

1:04:01in this country and you know no doubt all over the world um he’s certainly a long-term uh founder

1:04:08of the ujia which is um very the United Jewish Israel appeal which um sends

1:04:15young people mostly Jewish young people on trips to propaganda trips to Israel to basically indoctrinate them into

1:04:21Zionism where they’ve been found to stay in illegal settlements in the legal settlements as well

1:04:27um so this this um is and is actually very closely tied to the state of Israel itself so he’s a

1:04:33long-term supporter of that but what was also interesting in this story was that what I found was that Gary ludno is a

1:04:39South African so but he’s lived in this country for uh a good number of years now

1:04:45um since he um began working um well rewind the story a bit the

1:04:52interesting part is he he was a South Africa he is a South African he

1:04:58um is uh basically the Scion of a very rich family very rich white South

1:05:04African family um which ran a company a family firm

1:05:09which was later you know at certain points was worth billions

1:05:14um and was doing billions in sales it was it started off as a a plate glass for a windshield swim and actually the

1:05:21company now still owns the brand in Britain it owns Brands all over the world but the most famous brand in

1:05:26Britain is Auto Glass which you know if your windscreen gets broken by uh by damage or thief or whatever you get your

1:05:34windscreen replaced well this company started in South Africa and it made it made a huge amount of money expanded

1:05:40into construction and and all kinds of areas it was known as the PG group

1:05:47and Gary lubner later started was later in charge and CEO of bellron it’s

1:05:52International arm which acquired all these brand names all over the world or started them I’m not sure of all the details

1:05:58um including Auto Glass now PG group was and this was uh something

1:06:05that I was informed about by Andrew Feinstein former uh NC MP in South

1:06:12Africa you know be familiar with two lots of views of your podcast he told me that

1:06:18the love does the London family were very well known in South Africa as sanctions Busters

1:06:24during the South African apartheid regime and it was really interesting what I found out on it so and this is

1:06:30not just this is not a case of blaming the Sun for the sins of the fathers that’s that’s not that’s not what it was

1:06:36so the company PG group was owned and run by uh Ronnie lubner who was Gary

1:06:44lubbinger’s father and also his brother um Percy lubner so Gary lovener’s Uncle

1:06:50yes okay they’re relatives but that it was a family firm and Gary lubner went

1:06:57into the family business he became an accountant and through the 80s through this sanctions bursting period he was an

1:07:03accountant for the family later went on to run he went let’s went on to run the

1:07:09CEO of course later now in the post apart idea he’s claiming that he was the like a lot of white South Africans

1:07:16um he you know claims to have been against apartheid well the fact is that

1:07:21you know something like 90 of what South Africans voted in favor of Apartheid

1:07:28so you know these kinds of claims false claims of oh I was against it all along

1:07:33are quite common unfortunately but the fact is he he made his billions off a

1:07:39company that played an active role in supporting the South African apartheid regimes white supremacist regime so for

1:07:48example Bertie and Ronnie lubner they actually donated they personally donated to the ruling National Party

1:07:54um to the prime minister in the early 80s PW bota who let’s not forget was uh

1:08:01at one point in the 1940s was involved in the South Africa Nazi group and explicitly pro-hitler organization he

1:08:08later left it but he was a white supremacist his whole life there’s no doubt about that and he went he ran a

1:08:14very viciously um white supremacist racist regime um at the time when there was just a a

1:08:22really brutal uh regime in South Africa a a military dictatorship essentially

1:08:29claimed to be a democracy but it wasn’t um quite similar to apartheid Israel in

1:08:35in a lot of ways um and so this and also Ronnie and Bertie lubner

1:08:42they also offered 15 million dollars to start a Lobby group a pro apartheid

1:08:48Lobby group in Washington DC on behalf of the regime and this was all this all

1:08:53came out later only came out a few it only came about about five or six years ago in South Africa but very well

1:08:59reported in South Africa and it’s all there to see um and so it’s quite fitting in a way

1:09:05that this man would be funding the labor party in Britain of of today

1:09:11because the leader of the labor party today has made it clear that his only

1:09:16issue that he’s really passionate about is supporting a parasite Israel he has called himself a

1:09:24supporter of Zionism without qualification that was his pitch when he was running that was his pitch to the

1:09:30Israel Lobby when he was running for leader of the labor party and so it is Kia Stamo has made this

1:09:36um his kind of emblematic issue and Gary lubner was an interview with the the

1:09:41puff piece interview with the well it was basically a press release for Gary lubner in the financial times and he you

1:09:48know he was claiming in the article oh under corbyn there was all this anti-Semitism in the party and my

1:09:54youngest son was attacked with it and it’s great that kissed armor was thrown them all out to his credit so the point

1:10:00is now is to secure the labor party for the future for the corporate interest

1:10:06for the Israel Lobby um and to ensure that nothing like corbinism can ever ever happen again in

1:10:13the labor party and that the status quo is maintained indefinitely and that is a fantastic way to wrap us
