On the Education Forum, John Simkin writes:

I have argued over the years on this Forum that Tony Blair is a corrupt politician and needs to be removed from power. Recently events suggest that we might be on the verge of discovering the exact scale of his crimes. I suspect this is not the case and will end up as Britain�s Watergate. In the sense that Nixon was forced to resign but the full account of his crimes were never revealed to the public.

Let me outline my case against Tony Blair. The story begins before Blair became leader of the Labour Party. In the past, attempts to undermine the Labour Party took place either just before or during a Labour Government. Kier Hardy was incorruptible but the ruling elite got rid of Labour�s first government, led by Ramsay MacDonald, with the Zinoviev Letter in 1924. More sophisticated methods were then used on MacDonald after that and by 1931 he was willing to completely sell-out the Labour Party.

It took many years to overcome this treachery but by 1945 the Labour Party was able to win control again. Clement Atlee was also fairly incorruptible but fellow leaders of the party were willing to accept the money of the CIA via Tom Braden and the International Organizations Division to move to the right. This created internal division in the Labour government was by 1951 it had lost its majority.

Harold Wilson was the next Labour prime minister. We now know that MI5 and the CIA began a long drawn out campaign to undermine his government. Edward Heath suffered from the same forces as he was considered by the establishment to be far too left wing. James Callaghan and Denis Healey (one of the original targets of CIA money in the late 1940s) successfully moved Labour to the right after Wilson was finally removed in 1976. Callaghan and Healey introduced monetarism that was developed by Margaret Thatcher�s period in office.

In 1986, the newly elected Tony Blair took a �freebie� tour of the United States. At the time he was a member of CND. While in Washington he announced he had changed his mind and that that the �visit had persuaded him of the value of nuclear weapons�. The intelligence services always prefer their placements to have been a former �left-winger� because they rarely move back again after they have been �converted�.

In March, 1994, Blair was introduced to Michael Levy at a dinner party at the Israeli embassy in London. Levy was a retired businessman who now spent his time raising money for Jewish pressure-groups. After this meeting, Levy acquired a new job, raising money for Tony Blair. According to Robin Ramsay (The Rise of New Labour, page 64), Levy raised over �7 million for Blair).

In an article by John Lloyd published in the New Statesman on 27th February, 1998, the main suppliers of this money included Sir Emmanuel Kaye (Kaye Enterprises), Sir Trevor Chin (Lex Garages), Maurice Hatter (IMO Precision Group) and Maurice Hatter (Sage Software).

In April, 1994, John Smith died and Blair won the leadership contest. With Levy�s money, Blair appointed Jonathan Powell as his Chief of Staff. A retired diplomat, Powell was not a member of the Labour Party. In fact, his brother, Charles Powell, was Margaret Thatcher's right hand man.

Alastair Campbell was the other man brought into his private office with Levy�s money. Powell and Campbell were later to become key figures in the later invasion of Iraq. It is of course a pure coincidence that this decision reflected the thinking of Israel�s government.

Another important figure in the corruption of Tony Blair was the media baron, Rupert Murdoch. It was widely believed that Labour Party lost the 1992 General Election because of the anti-Labour campaigns of Murdock�s newspapers.

In 1995 Tony Blair flew to Australia to �pledge his allegiance at a meeting of News International�s executives� an extraordinary act of fealty�. (Peter Oborne, Alastair Campbell: New Labour and the Rise of the Media Class� page 141)

As a result of this meeting Murdoch�s papers were, at worst, neutral towards Labour. Alastair Campbell began writing articles to go under Blair�s name in the Murdoch papers. (Robin Ramsay, The Rise of New Labour, page 67)

U.K. Jews Worried By 'Zionist Conspiracy' Claims
In Labour Funding Scandal
By Assaf Uni, Haaretz Correspondent
09/12/2007

BERLIN - What began as another scandal concerning illegal campaign contributions to the British Labour Party has become in recent days a tangled matter that is arousing conspiracy theories regarding a "Jewish plot" in the United Kingdom, and the role of the pro-Israel lobby there.

David Abrahams, a Jewish millionaire who has admitted he made secret donations to the ruling British party, said in an interview that appeared in The Jewish Chronicle this past Friday that he concealed his activity because, "I didn't want Jewish money and the Labour Party being put together."

The contributions were illegal under British law, which requires campaign contributors to declare the amounts of their donations.

Abrahams, who claimed after the interview that his words had been taken out of context, added that the conduct of the British press has proved he was right to worry it would depict him as part of a "Jewish conspiracy."

The scandal broke two weeks ago, when The Mail on Sunday revealed that Abrahams had used three junior employees as conduits for secret donations to the Labour Party, totaling 600,000 pounds sterling (approximately $1.2 million). Next day, the party's general secretary, Peter Watt, said he had known about the illegal contributions - and resigned.

The result was another blow to the standing of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and suspicions that others party officials beside Watt knew about the contributions.

Among those mentioned - including by Abrahams himself - was Jon Mendelsohn, Brown's chief fundraiser, who is also Jewish.

Some media outlets quickly focused on Abrahams' close ties to Israel, and the fact that he was the deputy chair of Labor Friends of Israel until 2002. According to press reports, it was Mendelsohn who forced him out of LFI, because his political views contradicted the organization's.

LFI organizes visits to Israel for British politicians, arranges meetings for Israeli politicians with their British colleagues, and generally advocates on Israel's behalf among Labour members.

A weeks ago, The Telegraph ran a front-page photograph of Abrahams shaking hands with Israel's former ambassador to Britain, Zvi Heifetz, and insinuated that Israel was the source of the illegal campaign contributions.

Press reports have also recalled the previous police inquiry into illegal campaign donations, against Lord Levy, a prominent leader of Britain's Jewish community, which ended without an indictment.

Several in the media have maintained a connection between the money collected or donated by Zionist Jews and the pro-Israel policy of former British prime minister Tony Blair, who was a member of LFI, as is Brown today

The scandal has sparked widespread concern in Britain's Jewish community. "Clearly there is a potential for it to turn against us," Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, told The Forward. "We have been there before." The Board of Deputies is an umbrella group for British Jewish organizations.
