From all superinflated hype posted online, one could be forgiven for thinking the whole country held a soft spot for Pegida UK, even though nobody came out to follow them in Newcastle. 400,000 unicorns apparently supported them according to their online propaganda, however teaming up with the dregs of the EDL for a pointless anti-immigrant march in London, they could muster less than 15 fascist nobodies (described as 150 in a sympathetic article posted on Demotix). The highlight of the day came when a pigeon opened his bowels upon a speaker with a daring, decisive dive-bum-ing manoeuvre.

At 5pm today, what remains of the Pegida UK neo-nazi group will be goosestepping near Downing Street, London, and claim that it "will be the largest march of its kind", promoting it via Facebook, Twitter and the Daily Express website. On the "Daily Kipper" comments section (on an article about Halal in ASDA) they claim that 400,000 British Unicorns support Pegida UK. Fanciful thinking by the braindead Hitler-worshipping fash, but nevertheless, the minibus full of Pegida pricks need to be sent packing by ANTIFA.

Wikipedia, that Internet Guardian of the official narrative, does not admit that drug trafficking played a part in the bu$ine$$ of Iran-Contra. In our first hour, first hand testimony about the flying plane loads of cocaine into USA, and how this was connected in a young man's mind to arms dealing, money laundering, serving one's country. In our second hour, a vintage episode of Radio Free America centers on the assassination of Barry Seal, and its relationship to Iran Contra, revealing that even as it was unraveling, some commentators had grasped the relevance of drug smuggling.

As Anarchist Radio Berlin we had the opportunity of talking to an activist of the Anarchist Federation in Glasgow. The interview was about their local activities as well as the Scottish independence referendum and the rise of nationalism in the region.

It is delightful to see Labour voters defy the establishment by finally electing a leader on the centre ground of British thinking. Opinion polls suggest that Jeremy Corbyn’s policies of nationalising the railways, energy companies and Royal Mail, along with opposition to the Iraq war and British intervention in the Middle East are all supported by a majority of the public.

Jeremy Corbyn has won the British Labour Party’s leadership election by a landslide. Corbyn comes from the left of the party, a party that over the past 30 years has shifted further to the right whereby it has become regarded as ‘Tory-light’ – a slightly watered down version of the Conservative Party. Labour has signed up to ‘austerity’, neoliberalism, US-led wars of imperialism and has ditched any commitment to public ownership of key sectors of the economy.

FashBook, a haven of racist and homophobic hate speech and far right trolling, has decided to allow racists, fascists and neo-nazis the chance to spend even longer on their computers, spreading their intolerance. The Dislike Button will allow the nazi scum of the net to plague facebook news providers worldwide with hundreds or thousands of dislikes to any post which dares to show sympathy towards refugees or other minorities.

Every case of a paedophile gang abusing children, when the abusers have brown skins and Muslim-sounding names, has been targeted by drunken, racially abusive fascist groups such as the EDL and Britain First, without fail, all across the UK. However, when a Bristol-based gang of white Anglo-Saxon paedos sexually abused babies and filmed their horrific beyond words abuse on the internet, far right groups such as the EDL have refused to blink an eyelid.

This episode is a thoughtful exploration of the reality of UK democracy, and is liberally seasoned by Robin Upton musing on the Deep State. We begin with Secret Society - a BBC expose of the political process that was made in the 1980s but after being "leaned on" was never broadcast. Next Secret Justice, an essay on the fundamental unaccountability of MI5, claims to the contrary notwithstanding. We conclude our reading of Brian Bogart's Sins of Statecraft: The War on Terror Exposed.

This week we emphasize the structural roots of the current spate of False Flag terrorism - the unaccountable power of the supranational Deep State. Public 'checks and balances' to stop 'bad apples' will never tackle the problem of a barrel that is itself rotten; laws passed by states seek to hide, not to expose the hidden and therefore unaccountable nexus of self-interest that is the deep state. In our first hour, a debunking of "whistleblower protection". In our second, we continue reading Brian Bogart's, Sins of Statecraft: The War on Terror Exposed. A 20 minute time out to hear from J. Michael Springmann, formerly head of the visa issuing section in the US consulate in Jeddah, who was unceremoniously dismissed after attempting to blow the whistle on the irregular visa issuing practices.

Unnoticed and unreported at the time, the July 1979 Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism was a seminal event in the history of the "War On Terror". Organised by Benjamin Netanyahu, speakers included George H. W. Bush, Brian Crozier and some of his friends from Le Cercle, academics and deep state actors met to discuss and spin the yarn of the "global war on terror". We begin with a speech on the USA's sponsorship and conscious radicalization of terrorist groups by Nafeez Ahmed and read the first half of an article by Brian Bogart, entitled Sins of Statecraft: The War on Terror Exposed.
