This all reminds me of 2003, when Andrew Gilligan tried to stop the Iraq War, when fed information by David Kelly. The public got the story OK, but the government then murdered Kelly and sacked Gilligan along with all the top people at the BBC - or at least they resigned or were sacked in combo.
Now we see another great crime being committed by government, covering up child abuse, and intimidating a brave victim/witness to pedophile acts committed decades ago, into silence. Same results. Witnesses silenced. BBC staff resigning and being sacked in droves. Know your place BBC. Governments can do no wrong. Get it yet? Lord Patton will survive of course. He's way above the level of the normal pedophile-detesting human beings. Politicians can rape away as many children as they like, as far he's concerned.

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive“- Sir Walter Scott
Today the Mail on Sunday did a hatchet job on the child abuse victim Steven Messham in an attempt to discredit him as a witness after he mistakenly identified Lord McAlpine as his attacker – a mistake which it now seems was a direct result of misleading information given to him by North Wales Police.
See this previous article for more information about that:
I make no apology for telling you my heart went out to Mr Messham when I read the Mail on Sunday piece attacking him. It seemed to me he was being abused all over again.
The article in the Mail on Sunday is clearly an attempt on the part of sections of the British establishment to strike back at allegations which potentially could bring down some of its most powerful members, and Mr Messham is probably just collateral damage in their eyes.
But what’s most interesting for me about the disgusting article is its author - a man called David Rose.
Who is he?
Oh what a can of worms that question turns out to be.
David Rose seems to be what is known by some people in the trade as a ‘fixer’.
‘Fixers’ obviously ‘fix’ things – in his case, Rose specialises in ‘fixing’ tricky problems which are inconveniencing parts of the more conservative parts of the establishment – by using spin, disinformation and pure lies.
In fact, he’s been specialising in discrediting victims who have accused establishment figures of child abuse for some years now, as well as trying to discredit child abuse investigations as a whole – see here and here.
But interestingly, Rose is also a major player in the disinformation campaign being waged by powerful oil interests and right-wing politicians keen to deny the human causes of climate change.
As well as the disinformation campaign that was waged before the invasion of Iraq – see here.
OK. So the person responsible for the disgraceful attack on one of the child abuse victims in today’s Mail on Sunday is a batshit-crazy, climate-change denying establishment fixer in the pay of a powerful right-wing establishment.
Probably.
However, it seems there may be more than one journalist called David Rose. And some people in the industry are not even all that sure whether David Rose actually even exists at all. See here.
I think before we allow the reputation of a brave survivor of child sexual abuse to be trashed, we should know exactly who his accuser is, don’t you?
So will the real David Rose please stand up? Come out come out David, whoever you are.

Please help to counter the disinformation campaign against child abuse victims by sharing this with as many people as possible. Thanks:
Goebbels. In a 1941 article titled “ Churchill’s Lie Factory,” he wrote:
ReplyDelete“One should not as a rule reveal one’s secrets, since one does not know if and when one may need them again. The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.”
Is Rose not that Johan Hari. Sacked for plagiarism at the Independent newspaper ?
ReplyDeleteHi Tap, Strange for our readers not to have come up with a photograph of cousin, Alfred 'Jimmie' McAlpine.
ReplyDeleteWould save the police some time if we did the investigating on our Tap blog.
Remember, the 'Achilles Heel' of the cabal is balanced on the Dunblane 100 years 'D' notice, if we get that notice removed, they 'fall'.
Even the Law of averages say, some victims will be telling the truth.
