#Leveson #Iraq: Unholy Alliance #Murdoch & Blair 'The Aspiring War Criminal'
Quote
In his latest article in the New Statesmen John Pilger recalls some of the worst journalistic breaches of integrity by Rupert Murdoch’s “news” papers and remembers a young “aspiring war criminal” who, at an early stage of his political ascent, made it his business to court favour with the dangerously influential press baron.
Unfortunately for Blair. Nuremberg tells us that following orders is no defence.

The starry-eyed acolyte conveyed first-class to Australia was Tony Blair. He spoke of “the need for a new moral purpose in politics.” The rest is history and since that day millions of people around the planet have tasted Blair’s morality first-hand, many of them as they prayed whilst his bombs fell on their heads.
The saying goes that people are known by the company they keep. This was never more true than for Tony Blair. And a look at his friends begins to explain just how it is he has managed to evade justice since 1997 as he prosecuted one war after the next, with innocent civilians always paying the toll for his ambitions.
Blair, a man who once taunted John Major when he claimed the difference between them was that he, Blair, actually lead his party, later became an object of ridicule as he slavishly followed former US president George Bush around the globe on bombing sprees. “Poodle Blair”, has never really been a leader as many claim, not in the true sense at least. He’s always attached himself to the powerful and the famous, drawing on their publicity to boost his own.

#Leveson #Iraq: Tony Blair War Criminal. The First TRUTH To Come From The Freemason Leveson Circus.
Tony Blair's evidence to the Leveson Inquiry was dramatically interrupted today when a protester burst in from behind the judge and branded the former Prime Minister a 'war criminal'.
Gripping Lord Justice Leveson's bench - yards away from Mr Blair - the intruder, understood to be filmmaker and veteran Iraq War protester David Lawley-Wakelin, yelled that Mr Blair had been 'bought' by JP Morgan, suggesting that the US investment bank had profited from the Iraq War.
The activist then shouted to the stunned court: 'This man should be arrested for war crimes.'
Scroll down for video.
Police said a 49-year-old man was arrested at the scene and taken to a central London station for questioning.
The drama began when Mr Lawley-Wakelin burst from behind Lord Leveson through the entrance reserved for the judge alone having managed to get past security-coded doors to access the judges' corridor into courtroom 73.
As chief counsel Robert Jay QC, who had been leading Blair's grilling, held his head in his hands, security guards immediately jumped on the man and bundled him out of the chamber.
Blair immediately told the court that the man's accusations were 'completely and utterly untrue'.
Lord Justice Leveson said he wanted an immediate investigation into how the man got into the court.
He said: 'I would like to find out how this gentleman managed to access the court through what's supposed to be a secure corridor and I'll have an investigation undertaken about that immediately.'
Mr Blair said: 'That's fine, can I just say for the record that what he said about Iraq and JP Morgan is completely untrue.'
The man told reporters his name was David Lawley-Wakelin and he was from the Alternative Iraq Enquiry. He spoke as security guards escorted him through the Royal Courts of Justice.
Mr Blair had been greeted by around two dozen or so protesters as he arrived at the courts this morning.
They waved banners reading 'Troops home', 'Bliar' and 'Afghanistan out'.
The interruption was an embarrassing echo of the ‘custard pie’ incident when Rupert Murdoch was attacked during a Commons Select Committee last year.
His wife, Wendi Deng, leapt to his defence and slapped her husband's attacker, Jonnie Marbles, as the protester thrust the creamy dessert in the media mogul's face.
The close relationship between Mr Blair and Rupert Murdoch was underlined by a list of contact with newspaper editors and proprietors in the run-up to the Iraq War in 2003.
Three telephone calls were recorded between the pair on 11, 13 and 19 March 2003. He admitted to initiating one of them and that they lasted for now more than 45 minutes in total.
He said: ‘I would have been wanting to explain what we are doing. I think I had similar calls with the Observer and the Telegraph. I don't think there's anything particularly odd about that when you're facing such an issue.’
In the run up to the 1997 general election in which Mr Blair took power for the first time, The Sun famously switched its allegiance from the Tory Party and became a vociferous cheerleader for the Iraq War.
Earlier, Mr Blair cut a relaxed and smiling figure as he strode into the Royal Courts of Justice for his grilling at the Leveson Inquiry today.
Arriving in a black Range Rover at around 8.30am - a good hour and a half before the scheduled kick off - he waved at the assembled bank of press photographers as he entered through a side door of the London court.
But outside the main entrance, the two dozen or so protesters who had gathered were not smiling.
Waving banners reading 'Troops home', 'Bliar' and 'Afghanistan out', they greeted the former Prime Minister with an angry reception.
Mary Macmillan, a Fabian from Soho in London, carried a large knitted puppet of a judge bearing a sign on its chest reading 'Blair the day of judgment.'
The 78-year-old said: 'I was a 1997 Labour Party person when Blair got his majority and I'm afraid he's proved a great let-down.
'We got very few things that he promised. The war in Afghanistan is the greatest treachery.
'I'm glad we could get here today because it's very difficult to get hold of Blair.'
Anti-war artist Chris Holden, 69, from London, repeated the familiar argument that the Iraq war - Blair's most controversial act in office - had been 'for the oil'.
He asked: 'Why can't they just come out and say (it?)'
Shouts of 'traitor' also came from the small but dogged crowd determined to pursue the ex-premier wherever he turned up.
'Truth and justice is the central message', Mr Holden said.
But 'justice' for the perceived wrongs of the Iraq war was not on the bill for today's hearing about Blair's relationship with the media.

War Criminal #Blair : The Papal Knight Of Malta Was Heckled By Protesters At U.S. College.
A handful of protesters briefly interrupted a US college graduation speech by former prime minister Tony Blair calling for world unity.
Mr Blair addressed more than 400 Colby College graduates and their guests at the school's 191st commencement in Waterville, Maine.
Police said the protesters shouted phrases such as “warmonger” and “war criminal” during Mr Blair's speech. One person was arrested.
In his address, Mr Blair appealed for international co-operation and for people to try to understand other cultures.
The 59-year-old Mr Blair, the Labour Party's longest-serving prime minister, served from 1997 to 2007.
Since then, he has served as the envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East, representing the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations in working on a path to an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.

George Bush : The Papal Puppet. Like Father Like Son.
http://www.spirituallysmart.com/bush.html
Cardinal Egan one of the most powerful of men apart from his Jesuit controllers. He is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta's, Military Vicar and of course the Vatican's Archbishop of New York. Remember that Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg and Eliot Spitzer are SMOM Papal Knights, they are subordinate to Edward Egan, Andrew Willoughby Ninian Bertie, Pope and the Superior Jesuit General. Here is a picture of SMOM Papal Knight, George H.W. Bush along with SMOM Papal Knight, Michael Bloomberg with their master, Edward Egan:
Scroll down and there is an image of Rupert Murdoch with Cardinal Edgar and below another image this time of Tony Blair also with the Cardinal.
