‘Common as muck’

"...Julia Middleton is the CEO, of Common Purpose. If this organisation wanted openness one would expect it not to enquire about who has been requesting FOI information about the nature of Common Purpose (CP) and its quasi-masonic secret society of careerists. Leaving that aside CP’s website claims that “More than 70 per cent of FTSE 100 companies have used Common Purpose for professional development.” How is being funded by big business and the government being independent of the aforementioned? [1]

Middleton works for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and therefore cannot be argued to be independent of government unless the truth is distorted, as it is in the MST. Bell and Middleton seem to be the instigators of the MST. Robert Peston (below), now City editor of the Sunday Telegraph, wrote in the New Statesman that:

A debate on media standards —with two editors, another BBC executive, an investment banker, a Bank of England luminary, academics and a bishop, inter alia—was more practical than most. We’d been summoned to dinner at the offices of Pearson, owner of Penguin and the Financial Times, by Julia Middleton, the unrecognised toiler for the rehabilitation of the concerned, engaged citizen.

Middleton doesn’t run things at Pearson, just yet, Peston seems to have been closer to things than the article revealed, Martin Moore (the director of the Media Standards Trust) stated that:

Sir David Bell, chairman of the Financial Times group, came up with the idea for the Media Standards Trust at a conference organised by Common Purpose in Leeds three years ago. Since then he and three others, Julia Middleton [...], Robert Peston (Business Editor, BBC News), and Sir Cyril Chantler [...], have worked to make it happen, establishing a board of trustees from the media and civil society, and searching for start-up funding from Trusts and Foundations. [2]

It should be noted then that not all of the people here necessarily go along with whatever Pearson and Middleton are up to — people offer their name to support boards without, at times, really knowing much of what is going on. But the fact that this organisation was put up by Pearson must make us suspicious of its intended aims.

Middleton formerly worked at The Industrial Society and with Demos. Her husband, Rupert Middleton went on a business course in USA where he spotted the Community Leadership Programmes and thought to emulate them. Middleton raised half a million in business sponsorship. According to Charles Handy, in the shockingly hagiographic ‘The New Alchemists,’ Common Purpose has 120 paid staff with turnover of £3m. Middleton’s father worked for Peat Marwick and she met Rupert, John Garnett, Julia Cleverdon at the Industrial Society.

CP’s web PR and sponsor list is quite impressive: but what does it really mean? There are a growing number of rants about it online, some around Middleton’s proximity to the Office of the Deputy PM and the political patronage thereof, others amass data to form a conspiracy: but there is growing evidence that the organisation is favoured by government in an untoward way: given free use of property and it seems to operate like a cult. But then you see her moaning about the same subject and seemingly taking everyone in. She was also associated with the Arab Learning Initiative, which describes its role as venture philanthropy, but strikes me as intelligence gathering.

Middleton is a well networked in the New Labour, Careerist, Atlanticist networks—Common Purpose had been around for sometime but gained a great deal of funding with the advent of New Labour and its service towards business elites. Initially money was put in by David Bell, then Chairman of the Financial Times and Demos’ trustee, the late Anita Roddick.

Their list of corporate sponsors is impressive and they say they have offices in every UK city. Put politely CP tries to promote ‘corporate community engagement’, the synergy between big business and well… it’s a bit like the asbestos factory owner’s daughter handing out religious tracts to the workers coughing at the factory gates. Relationships between corporate CP funders such as BAe Systems, Royal Ordinance and GEC Marconi and, say, the work of CP trustee David Grayson of the National Disability Council are ignored however. The idea is to accentuate the positive. The real value of CP must be measured by its closeness to power —access to which is what is on offer. The board has only one member who is openly employed by government, Gillian Ashmore. Her record speaks for itself:

“Gillian Ashmore is currently on secondment from the Department of Transport to the British Railways Board working on railway privatisation. She joined the Civil Service in 1971 and has worked variously in the Departments of the Environment, Transport, Employment and Trade and Industry. On the Transport side, she has worked mainly in the public transport field. In the latter two Departments she was Deputy Director of the Enterprise and Deregulation Unit. Mrs. Ashmore has also been a non-executive director of P & O European Transport.”

How is the Enterprise and Deregulation Unit doing thesedays, Incredibly with a business dominated line up the CP constitution has the cheek to say the organisation:

“is diverse and non-aligned. It draws on the widest possible variety of sectors, areas, and social groups and recognises only peer level and geographical boundaries as common factors to each group. It is always independent, always balanced and owes no historical or other allegiance to any other organisation. Common Purpose works for the benefit of society as a whole…”

What a pack of lies. CP creates the illusion that it is for ordinary people, but it is not only run by an elite, its projects cater exclusively for an elite: “the rising generation of decision makers” as they say in their web site. This also states that: “We are looking for applicants who are decision-makers in their city, towns or area”, and that “participants are over 30 and already hold a position of considerable responsibility”. They say their long-term aim is “educating the next generation of leaders in each city or town”. On this basis it is a fraudulent organisation and it must be said a bit creepy.

Funded by big business and public bodies (everyone from Arms companies, Banks to curiously the Scottish Arts Council—maybe through Ruth Wishart’s connection) they operate for their benefit while their constitution lies that they seek “the advancement of education for the public benefit… to educate men and women from a broad range of geographical, political, ethnic, institutional, social and economic backgrounds.”

With Trustees such as Gerry Robinson, the ex-Coca Cola salesman who is now chairman of the Arts Council of England and Janet Paraskeva, the director of the National Lotteries Charities Board (the ‘independent organisation’ which distributes National Lottery money supposedly to charities and community groups). CP has specialised in channeling money away from genuine charitable causes. Demos was also partially funded directly via the Arts Council/Lottery ‘New Opportunities Fund’.

The illusion of independence from funders and government was abandoned with CP’s biggest project, ‘Citizen’s Connection’. Tony Blair’s old flat mate Lord Falconer’s New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC) said that: “Camelot, NMEC and Common Purpose created…Citizens Connection.”

But the legal position of the Camelot Group plc is this: as the operator of the UK National Lottery it is supposed to be “not responsible for the allocation of funds raised”. Except when it is. The NMEC was (is?) an extraordinary concoction. According to their press release the “NMEC is a non-Departmental Public Body and a company, independent from government with one shareholder, Lord Falconer”. This makes it an Anstalt, a financial vehicle more commonly associated with Swiss Bank accounts and money laundering. The ‘off-shore account’ was pioneered by the Mafia: their Lotteries (’the numbers racket’) were deemed illegal because of the evidence that they preyed upon the poor— the National Lottery magically does the reverse.

NMEC is funded by the National Lottery via the Millennium Commission (who tried to be independent from government but were threatened with a judicial review). NMEC ran the Dome and a national programme of events across the UK. It is misleading to gather all this up as the problem with ‘the Dome’. For instance, Labour MP Robert Marshall-Andrews tabled a Commons question on numerous secret contracts worth some £450 million—awarded by the NMEC, “a company with no direct lines of information or accountability”. But with millions pouring down the drain (well, into a few people’s pockets) an attempted diamond heist and daily financial craziness at the Dome, no one really noticed anything unusual when Camelot, whoever runs Common Purpose and Lord Falconer gave £2 million to Common Purpose to run a web site which links to the governments’ sites, which is all Citizen’s Connection is.

People have to pay to join up for any CP programme, so who is this money going to? Just about all of CP projects are extensions of PR exercises run by big companies, such as the ‘Your Turn’ project, which was directly run by BT’s PR consultants, so effectively these are being underwritten. Yet —even while CP got millions for their web site—’Your Turn’ was specifically given additional funding by the National Lottery Charities Board, which as we have seen with CP board member, Janet Paraskeva has a conflict of interest, which seems to be another word for common purpose: that and making money..."

The Agony Goes On.

Roll call of the British service personnel who have died since the start of operations in Afghanistan in 2001.

As we are close to the anniversary of Christopher Bridge’s death in Afghanistan, I am posting these video links to reflect my feelings about it. If I offend anyone then I genuinely apologise but it is not intentional. I really do not want to hurt anyone. And I am deeply sorry, but sometimes the truth is painful – agonisingly cruel but necessary.

Try not to get angry with me, I haven’t gone off starting wars by lying. I am not responsible for the deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan however, if I do not voice my opposition to these wars then I, and everyone else in Britain, is indirectly to blame – for being silent and letting it continue.

We are allowing this to be done in our name! Is this really what we all want?

It is time we British grew up! We need to stop squabbling amongst ourselves, and face the obvious truth!

Britain is being grossly mismanaged, it has been for many years, and people from all walks of life are now recognising this.

I am trying to represent the truth in this blog – my true feelings, nothing more! I will not apologise for that!

English Sunset.

I want to ride the range
Across those skies of black
I want to see for myself
And see me coming back
And when I've gone the distance
I'll be making tracks
For an English sunset.

We're on a runaway train
Rolling down the track
And where it's taking us to
Who knows where it's at
But if we hold together
We can make it back
For an English sunset
We want an English sunset.

I feel the rhythm of the earth
In my soul tonight
May it never fade away
And I've decided I can live
With humility
And the sad decay
'Cos that's the English way.

We keep the faith alive
In everything we do
And at the end of the road
We still keep coming through
And though it's sad and sorry
What else can we do
It's an English sunset
An English sunset.

I feel the rhythm of the earth
In my soul tonight
May it never fade away
And I've decided they can wait
For the requiem
We take it day by day
'Cos that's the English way
I saw the English sunset.

Pimp Britania

We've all heard of "Rule Britania."

Most of us have heard of "Cool Britania."

Now we have "Pimp Britania."

Police-owned massage parlour open for business as usual, in Sheffield, UK.

A Sheffield brothel seized by police is now re-opened, described as a 'high class adult entertainment venue'. The former Omega Sauna on Attercliffe Road, Sheffield, is now called the Box Office Gentlemen's Club, and it's business as usual.

The premises were seized in January after former owner's assets were frozen by a High Court judge. The sauna is now owned by Serious and Organised Crime Agency - and has re-opened!

The court ordered the premises be handed over to SOCA, who wanted to sell the premises and hand over the cash from the sale to the Home Office as they are deemed to be the proceeds of crime.

However, the agency cannot sell the building until it is empty - and a receptionist at The Box Office confirmed the premises is still operating as a 'high class adult entertainment venue'. The receptionist said the business was sold about two years ago. She said the new owner was "a woman."

A SOCA spokeswoman said that SOCA recovered the Sheffield property as part of a High Court Order in January 2009. It continues to be part of an ongoing legal process and SOCA is unable to comment further at this stage.

The fraud came to light following Operation Rampart, a police raid which saw 13 people arrested on suspicion of living off immoral earnings.

But a judge ruled they couldn't be prosecuted for that offence because police knew sex was for sale but failed to take action.

The real war is not between the left and the right.

LARRY FLYNT:

"...I'm calling for a national strike, one designed to close the country down for a day. The intent? Real campaign-finance reform and strong restrictions on lobbying. Because nothing will change until we take corporate money out of politics. Nothing will improve until our politicians are once again answerable to their constituents, not the rich and powerful.

Let's set a date. No one goes to work. No one buys anything. And if that isn't effective -- if the politicians ignore us -- we do it again. And again. And again.

The real war is not between the left and the right. It is between the average American and the ruling class. If we come together on this single issue, everything else will resolve itself. It's time we took back our government from those who would make us their slaves."

ARK ACADEMIES AND SCHOOLS

SINISTER IS THE WORD

ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS

ARK is the main charity overseeing the introduction of seriously pseudo-psychological systems into the education system. From another angle we have Common Purpose installing their graduates as teachers, Headteachers and helpers of all kinds including most importantly, the governors. Advisors to the schools are also highly skilled operatives from within ARK and Common Purpose charities, but there are many more charities acting within this network pushing for the same outcome....

Well Yanks,
now you know what it feels like!

We British had to put up with it, when you let IRA bombers stroll around free for years over there in the States after blowing up large numbers of innocent people in discos and bars etc. here in Britain. You even gave the IRA money and eagerly supported their bombing campaign, and we had to resign ourselves to all of this.
More recently, you sent some creepy, slimey mush over here to negotiate with Tony Blair's crap goverment to let the few bombers who were brought to justice in Britain, walk free.
He gave in to you, and they did!

Now it's your turn. I personally believe all terminally ill prisoners should always be released - not just the infamous ones. The right decision was made today.
We are supposed to be Christians, after all.

And, while we were all horrified over 911 and the the Twin Towers falling down, there was a small element here of,
"Well now it's their turn, let's see how they like it."

Do you?

Not nice, is it?

The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, scene1.

Portia: "..The quality of mercy is not strain'd,

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there."

by Willian Shakespeare.

Ignore it at your national peril.

..........The "change" Obama promised to bring to America is entirely based in his expert, high level training in communitarian thinking. Communitarianism, like communism, socialism and capitalism, has a history and a philosophy that can be verified by a second grader. A simple google search for the word "communitarian" produces millions of returns. With more mainstream and credible sources describing the Obama administration as communitarian every day now, you'd think the Americans would be all over it and wanting to know more. Every day I do see a few more who are interested and studying it, but, (and especially since Palin jumped in) for the most part, Americans are not even considering it. They ignore it at their national peril.

This isn't the International Jewish Banker's theory or the Illuminati and Alien agendas, although many would hope that you think it is, just so that they can easily discount you and laugh at your racism, ignorance and gullibility. The Communitarian Philosophy is well documented in upper academia and insider news reports since 1990, it's the topic of numerous grad school programs and international legal seminars; it's just not often discussed in view of the "unwashed masses." They have a Communitarian Network at George Washington University in D.C. They have extremely well connected leaders and mentors, like Dr. Amitai Etzioni, MaryAnn Glendon and Dr. John McNight, as well as an entire active network of Community activists (including Michelle and Barack Obama). The Communitarian Network published a Platform, it's signed by real people (some of the names you may even recognize) and they've published thousands of documents about their agenda. Dr. Etzioni isn't called a "guru" and the "everything expert" because he wrote one or two unread, obscure books. His latest book, "Security First" is quoted as an expert source in daily Pentagon briefings (and I still think I should get daily Pentagon briefings too, since I am the one who alerted a Pentagon intelligence analyst to Etzioni's Palmach terrorist ties to the Israeli Defense Force. As of June 2008, Etzioni was not even in the US Army's database of known international terrorists operating inside the USA!).

It should come as no surprise that the Communitarian Update #36 begins thus:

"The first ever workshop on bioethics from a communitarian perspective will take place at George Washington University on 6/5/2001. Papers by Ezekiel Emmanuel (A Communitarian Perspective on Research), Mark Kuczewski (Organ Donation and the Common Good), Leonard Fleck (A Communitarian Perspective on Health Resource Allocation), and Eric Meslin (Human Cloning). Participation is by invitation only. Send nominations to Joanna Cohn at comnet@gwu.edu with "bioethics" in the subject line." http://www.gwu.edu/~ccps/communitarian_update_n36.html

In Europe, the terms for communitarian legal supremacy over national courts and political systems exists in thousands of EU documents, national integration departmental procedures and established free trade (WTO) case law. To say there is no evidence for communitarianism or that the theory is benign or ineffective is a lie of epic proportions. The reason the Anti Communitarian League website grew to become such a huge research site is because there's more evidence for communitarianism than one person has time to gather in one lifetime. How much longer can it remain so neglected and unimportant? How many communitarian accompanying laws must be passed before the American people are allowed to examine the principles it upholds?

Obama's communitarian mentors came to the USA from the 1850s to the 1990s to "shore up the moral, social and political environment." They continue to come here from the UK, Europe, Israel, the Soviet Union, the Vatican, the City of London, Brussels, the Hague and Communist China, advising US officials to make significant illegal changes to our political system. Communitarians open doors formerly locked and guarded by We the People under state and federal constitutional law. They help formerly free state citizens to advance harmoniously into a new specific idea of responsible global citizenship (aka slavery). They guide our leaders to foster interdepartmentalized privacy and property invasions. They advise our elected officials which people should be allowed to live, and ominously predict which people need to die for the "good of the community........"


...........Communitarianism, by Obama's mentor's definition, is supposed to be the final synthesis of all conflicting political, racial, and religious ideologies. It's based entirely on Georg Hegel's interpretation of "God's Idea." Hegel said men will only be free when they make themselves total slaves to the state. He also said only a very enlightened few can comprehend how this works out for mankind. Hegelians helped force the world into social evolution by promoting violent conflicts between opposites. Now they brilliantly offer us their preplanned and more "moral" solutions to their own staged conflicts. The real conflict, the one between us and them, has barely surfaced as a possibly yet. That's the one they know they'd lose.

The only thing the communitarians have not been prepared to debate is an anticommunitarian argument. Since they claim their final synthesis is so perfect it gives rise to no antithesis, they can never acknowledge the existence of any credible counter-theory, no matter how well presented it is or how well backed up it is with published documents. All American colleges teach communitarian programs and policy, but most are savy enough to disguise it with vague terms like sustainable community development and rebuilding faith-based communities. On the rare occassion that our anti thesis is introduced to a class as an assignment or under "further reading," the result is always the same -- dead silence.

When a communitarian uses the word "community" in a public program, they're quietly imposing Community Rights on unsuspecting people holding legal claim to the protection of their natural born Individual Rights. The term "community" can be used to define anything from the global merchant community to the local community's Neighborhood Watch program. The emerging global communitarian system is a data driven experiment in micro-managing all aspects of human life. It's no accident that the US Census expanded into the invasive American Community Survey, just as it's not an accident that rural college programs like the Natural Resources and Community Development Program offered by the University of Alaska, Fairbanks primarily teaches "Workshops using GPS for navigation and mapping." How can they make us all "participate" if they don't know who we are, where we live and how many guns we own?

Communitarianism is the global change ideology of the 21st century. It's the foundation for global COPS, US-UK peacekeeping invasions and UN-NATO wars of liberation. It's the purpose for intrusive international efforts to achieve sustainable community development. It's the foundation for the European Union (and CAFTA/NAU/SPP/Wildlife & Trade Corridors, et.al.) and the primary reason for the failure of the Lisbon Treaty. Considering the recent anticommunitarian developments in Germany, Ireland, Portugul and the Czech Republic, now might be a very good time for Americans to get up to speed on Obama's real agenda and join their allies in what's left of the free thinking world...........


..........Today I think anyone who still calls communitarianism a conspiracy theory or too difficult to pronounce or understand is purposefully diverting your attention from the only thing you may need to know about Obama. If you understand communitarianism, you understand it all. If you know just a piece of it, like the communist piece or the socialist agenda, you may not be able to see how capitalism and libertarianism play a role to further the overall communitarian agenda. Each "side" had a role in the final solution, so yes, they must all be studied and understood. But why stop midway in the dialectical drama? We're already into the final act where everything balances into one perfect theory of achieving world peace and harmony......
