Second hour: Investigative reports: tribute to 911 Truth anti-war activist and researcher Fran Scott who died on Saturday aged 58. Syria: Vanessa Beeley speaking in Bristol at the Arc bar on Broad Street tonight. The White Helmets – run by James le Mesurier – a propaganda outfit for the West; rebel groups fighting each other; Israel’s Yinon Plan to Balkanise the Middle East; Benjamin Netanyahu’s 1980s book ‘Terrorism: How The West Can Win’, covertly using terrorists as an extension of the state military. Andrew Parker, ‘Nosey Parker’, UK’s MI5 spy chief who was promoted after his role in failing to stop the 7/7 attacks, says there is a growing threat of Russian cyber attacks to Britain. He is copying Bilderberg, NATO secretary general Jan Stoltenberg and Hillary Clinton which suggests the criminal Elite are planning cyber-attacks on us, which they will blame on Russia – Pilger interviewing Assange on RT saying leaks did not come from Russia. When Article 50 is started in March, Alasdair Campbell and Vince Cable, close to the criminal bankster elite, say Britain will be punished with economic warfare heavy weapons in March 2017 by the criminal elite banksters. Economic crash and Deutsche Bank. Former FBI translator turned whistleblower Sybel Edmonds and ‘Gladio B’ – coming UK terrorist attacks by NATO and fascists to be blamed on migrants. The research of Fran Scott, peace activist and researcher, who died of cancer this week aged just 58, after being let down by the NHS doctors: For the 15th anniversary of 9/11 in September 2016 Fran discusses the 9/11 Commission and the 28 pages that were held back, and then released but with 97 redactions – links to Saudi Arabia and Saudi Prince Bandar; Fran reported British Army ‘groomed’ two of the suspected 7/7 bombers Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer attended the Iqra Bookshop in Leeds where ex- British Special Forces SBS, Martin McDaid, trained them – intelligence services infiltrating or controlling Jihadis; Fran’s talk in May this year about the 9/11 anthrax attacks – liberal Senators were targeted who were against the Patriot Act but it was blamed on Al Qaeda and Iraq – then the blame landed on Dr. Bruce Ivans in Maryland who ‘committed suicide’ and the case was closed – however the anthrax code was traced back to two CIA laboratories – what is the deep state and does it exist? Privatisation of DERA (Defence Evaluation and Research Establishment) in 2003 to QinetiQ, Carlyle Group and the Bush crime family. War criminals at RAF Molesworth are doing the targeting for illegal assassination drones – US personnel ‘targeting killer drones from Britain’ – Leo Strauss and the policy of ‘Order from Chaos’.
Extraordinary circumstances of Fran’s death: This week we’re reminded just how deep into Europe and America’s cultural life the Warfare State has penetrated with the untimely death of one of the Western world’s greatest unrecognised anti- war researchers and activists – co-founder of the London based Reinvestigate 911 website and campaign Fran Scott. Hackney-based Fran was only 58 when she died last Saturday of stomach and liver cancer, only two weeks after being diagnosed. She was terribly let down by the overstretched East London Health Service. One of the ambulance paramedics on one of her attempts to get diagnosed and treated – told her East London hospitals just can’t cope – the Health Service is now a postcode lottery. Fran hadn’t been in the greatest of health, having hypoglycemia on and off for over a decade. But it wasn’t as if Fran hadn’t been bringing her more recent digestive problems to her GPs attention but she kept being told she had indigestion – and was given pain killers and constipation medicine. Doctors now say she’d had an aggressive form of stomach cancer since early this year. On 29th August she was taken more seriously ill – and the paramedic told her to go straight to A&E. From that day at the end of August Fran wasn’t able to eat anything. She went twice – including by ambulance – to Accident and Emergency at London’s Homerton Hospital – but she was given more constipation medicine – which she couldn’t eat – and sent home. She was finally admitted to Homerton for tests after she hadn’t been able to eat for over five weeks. She died just three weeks later. Anyway Fran’s Memorial will take place in Hackney on Tuesday 15th November – and despite her many brilliant investigations into the crimes behind the war on terror not a single mainstream media outlet ever asked her for an interview or used her brilliant work exposing the crimes and the criminals driving the war machine.

‘Intl community still financing & protecting terrorists’ – Mother Agnes on Syria
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbUTnSsNbfc
The problem with we americans we were all caught up with the presidential races. Traditionally the congress(something a little like your parliament) has more power than the presidency or administrative branch of gov) Instead we should have been creating a new party based on a mixture Sanders “share the wealth” domestically(Sanders Senate record on foreign policy has been more or less the same as the dems and gop), Green party and Libertarian peaceful foreign policy(and against the war on drugs and pain doctors) and the doctors for national health care coalition. Of course it was even too late to create such a party when sanders threw his support to clinton ,
If we start building a party as the outline i gave above, I think in 2 to 4 years we will have elected representation from the local to the federal level. We desperately need a middle and working class coalition party. I mean we are the majority, we have the numbers. Also elections should be held for two days, the weekend, or a sunday/monday 24/7 48 hours ballot acceptance.
Our party will vote for our reprsentatives to run against the two major parties instead of a candidate chosing to run and exploit us. And our representatives will be public servants to our party first, and give some leadership secondly. I maybe wrong but i do believe this is how your parties operate in the UK. correct me if am wrong.
Sanders abandoned us. Since the country is going to vote against the candidate they hate(clinton or trump) and most of us commoners vote for who we like I think Sanders could have won in a three way presidential election against clinton and trump.
However the democrats and gop have put up so many barriers to voting and no doubt a wall against a new party getting seats in congress.We will have many legal battles to knock down these administrative and new party walls.

Your first hour guest Green councillor for Clifton Paula O’Rourke , is one of the most fence sitter and pollyanna guest I have ever heard on the politics show. I’ve been listening over the internet since 2011 and downloaded some shows as far back as 2009 ?
Outrageous ! She says she believes Putin is a threat to the west. At least she said she “believes”. Ever since secretary of state Baker reneged on his promise not to move NATO any closer to Russia. Every US government since has expanded closer and closer to Russia. And the peace dividend was a joke starting with Daddy Bush’s first war on Iraq, Bill Clinton’s bombing of Serbia in 1999, and the war mongering sonny Bushes causing hell on earth in Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama/Clinton’s war on Libya with US and UK backed Al qaeda North Africa, and like the former Yugoslavia the US helped tear apart the Ukraine. And now the hell that is Syria with US/House of Saud/ UK/ Qatar/ the emirates backed terroist rebels. And the genocide being committed on Yemen with American weapons used by the Saudis. In this same time period Russia just took back the Crimea after a vote by Crimea to go back as part of Russia.
Russia and Putin have had it. Russian rockets destroyed more ISIS positions in one week than the US did in a year under Obama. why? because the obama regime was bombing empty sand drifts in Iraq and Syria. ISIS is a western tool just like al qaeda is.
Then Paula says athletes shouldn’t become political because the wear a flower in remembrance of war dead on their football jerseys. Did you ever see a football(we call it soccer in the US)players jersey. He or she has like a half dozen corporate insignia’s on their jerseys. Although i am born raised and live in America I support amateur and professional athletes protesting against cops who kill mostly blacks(and more whites too) american foreign and domestic policy etc.
when i was i child i was shocked when I saw 1968 Mexico City Olympics American black medal winners in the 200 meters. Tommie Smith gold and John Carlos bronze. When they were on the stand and the US national anthem played they raised black gloved fists and wore black berets with their heads down. So glorifying corporations is great but questioning authority is a no no. thats orwellian
Today i honor them as courageous heroes. Peter Norman of Australia who won the silver asked Smith and Carlos if he could wear the “Olympic Project for Human Rights” badge, They gave him one and he wore it during the national anthem.. Peter Norman came back to Australia to be hated and never was able to run again being banned.

A fundamental problem for all political movements (including those of a progressive orientation) is a pretty obvious one; money. Unless you have a publicly funded political system (true to some extent in Scandinavia) political parties have to be funded by interest groups (including in the case of the Labour Party the Trade Unions). The only other alternative is to use movement building projects as fund raisng opportunities. Ideally this can be a win win because the goal is to have the community organised to such an extent that the entire social interaction takes place within movement controlled structures (co-ops, nightclubs, bars, sports clubs etc). An example of the practical application of this is the dense institutional network built up by the Republican movement in Ireland during the war which still provides a solid well funded base for their current activities or the non military stuctures of Hezbollah in Lebanon. In certain circumstances it may demand movement control and taxation of the criminal economy (as recognised by revolutionary armed groups all over the world). Don’t forget that the size of the criminal economy because of drug prohibition makes it absolutely essential to control it not just for financial but for MILITARY reasons. FARC’S battle with AUC in Colombia to control the cocaine industry has an inevitable military logic for both parties. Unless and until we can get drug legalisation and publicly funded politics this will remain the reality.. ..
