“Troofer” and Fellow Traveler of Islamist Terror Groups and Fascist LaRouche Organization Advises British Journalists

Com­ment: the suc­cess of the fas­cist LaRouche organization–Webster Tarp­ley’s back­ground is with the LaRouchies–in pen­e­trat­ing the so-called pro­gres­sive sec­tor is under­scored by this dis­turb­ing post, as is the pro­found fas­cist and pro-ter­ror­ist nature of a dis­turbing­ly large por­tion of the “9/11 Truth” move­ment.

“NUJ Gets Nut to Write Ter­ror Man­u­al” by Brett; Har­ry’s Place; 3/11/2010. [1]

The Nation­al Union of Jour­nal­ists has com­mis­sioned a 9/11 ‘Troofer’ to work with an organ­i­sa­tion that has part­nered with Salafi jihadis to devel­op a hand­book advis­ing its mem­bers – the major­i­ty of work­ing jour­nal­ists – on how to report news relat­ing to ter­ror­ism.

Accord­ing to a sto­ry [2] on the Bris­tol NUJ web­site, Tony Gosling, has been appoint­ed to the NUJ’s Nation­al Ethics Coun­cil and has been tasked with devel­op­ing the guide [3] on report­ing on ter­ror pub­lished by the NUJ last Novem­ber in asso­ci­a­tion with “The Cam­paign Against Crim­i­nal­is­ing Com­mu­ni­ties” (CAMPACC), a group with close ties [4]to CagePris­on­ers.

CagePris­on­ers [5] is at the cen­tre of the cur­rent Amnesty storm [6]. They sup­port [7] ter­ror­ist sym­pa­this­ers like hate-preach­ers Abu Qata­da and Abu Hamza and con­vict­ed ter­ror­ists like Sajid Badat who plead guilty to con­spir­ing to place a explo­sive device on an air­craft.

Tony Gosling is him­self a curi­ous crea­ture. He was thrown out [8] of the Green Par­ty after we at Harry’s Place exposed [9] his anti­se­mit­ic and homo­pho­bic out­bursts.

Worse, Gosling is a 9/11 ‘Troofer’ who runs the biggest UK web­site for con­spir­a­cy nuts [10]. Quite why the NUJ pro­mot­ed him to their ethics com­mit­tee after the rev­e­la­tions about his homo­pho­bia, anti­semitism and his involve­ment is the “Truth” move­ment is anyone’s guess.

Gosling is sin­gu­lar­ly unsuit­ed for the task. A para­noid delu­sion­al [11], he’s had bizarre Hitch­cock­ian run-ins [12] with the law him­self, and has fall­en under the spell [13] of anoth­er 9/11 Troofer called Web­ster G Tarp­ley [14], who calls him­self a “Ter­ro­ro­rol­gist”. Tarp­ley churns out books [15] and tours the world [16] insist­ing that ter­ror­ist attacks, includ­ing 9/11 and 7/7 are all ”false flag” oper­a­tions, a view Gosling large­ly shares.

Now, I know it is frus­trat­ing and slight­ly mad­den­ing to have to ask this, but:

Why did  Britian’s largest union of jour­nal­ists engage a per­son like Gosling to write a hand­book on ter­ror report­ing?

Here you have a man who cre­ates wild con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries deny­ing ter­ror­ism even exists, and he’s work­ing with asso­ciates of known ter­ror­ist sym­pa­this­ers appar­ent­ly to pro­duce the man­u­al guid­ing how ter­ror-relat­ed issues are report­ed in the British Press!

One arti­cle [17] in a Bris­tol Com­mu­ni­ty Radio newslet­ter describes Gosling as “a dri­ving force behind new media guide­lines designed to ensure high stan­dards when it comes to cov­er­ing ter­ror­ist inci­dents.”

How the hell did this hap­pen?

And how on earth did this big­ot­ed lit­tle snot,  with an hal­lu­cino­genic take on real­i­ty, get appoint­ed to the Ethics Com­mit­tee of a major media union in the first place?

It would be a huge relief if the NUJ could tell us that this appoint­ment is just anoth­er one of Gosling’s delu­sions, that the arti­cle appeared on their web­site by some admin­is­tra­tive or edi­to­r­i­al over­sight and that – con­trary to indi­ca­tions – san­i­ty is still very much in evi­dence at the Journalist’s Union.
