“. . . they’re act­ing like a cult. They’re act­ing like a reli­gion. They’re act­ing like a gov­ern­ment. They’re act­ing like a bunch of spies. They’re hid­ing their iden­tity. They don’t account for the mon­ey. They promise all sorts of good things. They sel­dom let you know what they’re real­ly up to. . . There was sus­pi­cion from day one that this was entrap­ment run by some­one unknown to suck a num­ber of peo­ple into a trap. So we actu­ally don’t know. But it’s cer­tainly a stan­dard coun­ter­in­tel­li­gence tech­nique. . . .” John Young, an orig­i­nal Wik­iLeaks founder on why he broke with the group.

COMMENT: Philoso­pher Friedrich Nitzsche not­ed that; “A joke is the epi­gram on the death of a feel­ing.” That is our sen­ti­ment upon read­ing a very clever and reveal­ing piece of satire by Richard Lit­tle­john in the Dai­ly Mail. 

In our next post, we will take up the very real pos­si­bil­i­ty that Eddie the Friend­ly Spook (Snow­den) is work­ing for the BND–the Ger­man for­eign intel­li­gence ser­vice. Cer­tain­ly, Snow­den’s Ride is an intel­li­gence oper­a­tion direct­ed against the admin­is­tra­tion of Barack Oba­ma at one lev­el, and the Unit­ed States and the U.K. at anoth­er. 

Before we ven­ture into that analy­sis, Richard Lit­tle­john’s clever and very sub­stan­tive satire of the WikiLeaks/Snowden axis and their atti­tude is worth exam­i­na­tion.

As we saw in our last post on Fast Eddie and Cit­i­zen Assange, both Snow­den and Assange hold ultra-right wing views.  As seen in pre­vi­ous posts on Snow­den’s Ride (U‑2 Inci­dent, II) both the indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions fig­ur­ing in the land­scape of Eddie the Friend­ly Spook’s oper­a­tions, as well as those of Wik­iLeaks, track to the far right and the Under­ground Reich.

Had the Wik­iLeak­ers, the Guardian­istas and the defend­ers of Snow­den been func­tion­ing dur­ing the Sec­ond World War, they would have respond­ed to the Bletch­ley Park code-break­ers much  as Lit­tle­john has writ­ten.

(Bletch­ley Park was the facil­i­ty at which the Ger­man codes were bro­ken dur­ing the Sec­ond World War, per­mit­ting Allied navies to win the Bat­tle of the Atlantic against Ger­man U‑Boats. In the Dai­ly Mail col­umn excerpt­ed below, the ref­er­ence to Pol­ly Haw Haw con­notes Lord Haw Haw, who broad­cast pro­pa­gan­da for the Third Reich.)

One of the fas­ci­nat­ing­ly nau­se­at­ing aspects of the left is their pen­chant for con­form­ing to the right-wing’s stereo­types  of them. Giv­en to com­pul­sive Amer­i­ca-bash­ing, they remain obliv­i­ous to the fas­cist and Nazi foun­da­tions and ori­en­ta­tions of far too many of the caus­es they embrace.

“World War II: Wik­iLeaks Style” by Richard Lit­tle­john; Dai­ly Mail [UK]; 6/27/2013.

EXCERPT: This col­umn has always been wary of those who use tech­nol­o­gy to invade our pri­va­cy — whether it’s Google bur­gling online activ­i­ty or GCHQ record­ing emails and phone calls.

How­ev­er, I don’t share the Left’s para­noia that all sur­veil­lance is evil, or their delud­ed belief that all whistle­blow­ers are hero­ic.

Frankly, I trust the Fun­ny Peo­ple more than I trust Google. . . .

. . . . That’s not how the Guardian­istas view the world. To them, the Atlantic Alliance is the root of all evil, which is why they lionise the fugi­tive Nation­al Secu­ri­ty Agency defec­tor Edward Snow­den and the Wik­iLeaks weirdo and alleged rapist Julian Assange.

All this got me won­der­ing what might have hap­pened had the mod­ern-day Guardian been around in World War II . . .
DATELINE: LONDON, JUNE 28, 1941.
By our Defence Cor­re­spon­dent,
Pol­ly Haw-Haw.

The Con­ser­v­a­tive-led British Coali­tion Gov­ern­ment is oper­at­ing a secret lis­ten­ing sta­tion in the Buck­ing­hamshire coun­try­side, the Guardian can reveal today.

Behind the seem­ing­ly inno­cent facade of a mul­ti-thou­sand-pound man­sion on the exclu­sive Bletch­ley Park estate lurks a sin­is­ter den of spies, equipped with the very lat­est sur­veil­lance tech­nol­o­gy.

Offi­cial­ly des­ig­nat­ed the Gov­ern­ment Code and Cypher School, it is known to those who work there sim­ply as ‘Sta­tion X’.

Locat­ed on the edge of yet-to-be-built Mil­ton Keynes, its pur­pose has until now been shroud­ed in mys­tery. It was believed to be a train­ing school for the Women’s Roy­al Naval Ser­vice.

But clas­si­fied doc­u­ments passed to this news­pa­per by a whistle­blow­er show that the covert facil­i­ty has been mon­i­tor­ing mil­lions of tele­phon­ic and tele­graph trans­mis­sions, includ­ing those of our Allies.

The Bletch­ley spies are answer­able only to the Prime Min­is­ter, the priv­i­leged Old Har­rov­ian Win­ston Leonard Spencer-Churchill.

Work­ing around the clock, they are under­stood to have inter­cept­ed hun­dreds of pri­vate sig­nals between Berlin and Ger­man U‑boats.

Until now this heav­i­ly encrypt­ed infor­ma­tion would have been of lit­tle use. But the Guardian can reveal that ‘Sta­tion X’ has recent­ly man­aged to obtain a top-secret ‘Enig­ma’ machine that deci­phers the mes­sages.

This allows British intel­li­gence accu­rate­ly to pin­point the posi­tion of Ger­man sub­ma­rine ‘wolf packs’ on peace-keep­ing oper­a­tions in the Atlantic. Even though Amer­i­ca is sup­posed to be neu­tral, Wash­ing­ton has been send­ing con­voys of sup­plies to sup­port the British war effort under a secret deal agreed between mil­lion­aire U.S. Pres­i­dent Franklin Delano Roo­sevelt and the half-Amer­i­can, swiv­el-eyed Tory toff Churchill.

Berlin believes that these sanc­tions-bust­ing con­voys give Britain an unfair advan­tage and has ordered U‑boats to tor­pe­do them.

The whistle­blow­er, who used to work in Bletch­ley Park’s noto­ri­ous ‘Hut 8’, approached the Guardian because he was wor­ried the infor­ma­tion uncov­ered by ‘Enig­ma’ could lead to Ger­man sub­marines being sunk by British war­ships, with con­se­quent loss of life.

Quite apart from the fact that the ‘Sta­tion X’ inter­cepts are a clear breach of the yet-to-be-writ­ten Data Pro­tec­tion Act, there are also fears that the infor­ma­tion could be shared with the yet-to- be-formed Right-wing Cen­tral Intel­li­gence Agency, based at Lan­g­ley, Vir­ginia.

This could, in turn, lead to Amer­i­can aggres­sion in Europe for the sec­ond time this cen­tu­ry.

Under the yet-to-be-estab­lished Euro­pean Con­ven­tion on Human Rights, the Unit­ed States is already fac­ing charges of war crimes com­mit­ted dur­ing the Euro­pean Civ­il War 1914–18.

At Bletch­ley Park last night, there was lit­tle activ­i­ty apart from a num­ber of women in uni­form who looked a bit like Kate Winslet com­ing and going on those bikes they all ride in Call The Mid­wife.

The Min­istry of War refused to com­ment.

Mean­while, the edi­tor of the Guardian con­tin­ued to resist calls to iden­ti­fy the whistle­blow­er, who is cur­rent­ly want­ed on rape charges in Swe­den and is holed up for the time being in the Ecuado­ri­an embassy in Isling­ton.

As part of this newspaper’s com­mit­ment to world peace, the Guardian has passed the clas­si­fied dossier to the Ger­man ambas­sador in neu­tral Dublin, who described it as like a ‘Hol­ly­wood night­mare’.
A spokesman for the Berlin gov­ern­ment thanked us for our rev­e­la­tions, adding: ‘This could length­en the war by two years . . .’
