As Polls Shift in England and Conservatives Start to Lose Ground… Terrorism

by Scott Creighton

Last night in Manchester, England as young people were flocking out of a concert by US singer Ariana Grande, a bomb went off in a subway station (Victoria station) that services the venue that was hosting the event (Manchester Arena)

It was said to have been a suicide bomb.

At time I’m writing this article, the casualty list is already pretty high. 22 are reported as dead with another 59 injured. Though few have been officially identified due to pending notifications and the young age of many of the victims.

Officials report it was a “homemade bomb”. How they figured that so early in the investigation is anyone’s guess.

On Fox News this morning the morning crew sitting on their couch with their coffee table, they were all adequately somber and stoically angered at the senseless attack on young, upper middle class white people in Britain. To prove they meant business, they brought in an Israeli security contractor who proceeded to explain to them that the way you fight this kind of terrorism is by “throwing money at” defense contractors, preferably ones from Israel… like himself. I’m not kidding. That’s EXACTLY what he did and not a single one of those three insipid talking heads on the couch of shame had the nerve to call him out for trying to cash in on the attack and his 15 minutes of fame it bought him.

I have yet to investigate this event more closely. I will do that today. But I just wanted to point out something odd… yet also altogether too common in these kinds of events and that is the rather odd timing of it all.

Months ago Theresa May called for snap elections so she could strengthen her position in Parliament for the coming years as Brexit unfolds and the Conservatives look to push still more austerity on the people of the UK as D-Day approaches.

The Conservatives enjoy a solid lead but it’s been slipping a bit over the past two weeks as the populist anti-austerity, anti-neoliberal message of Jeremy Corbyn resonates with voters tired of the path Britain is traveling down today.

This past weekend saw a major shift in polling numbers as the party manifestos were released to the public and talk of things  like “dementia taxes” started.

Ever since May 8, the Tories have been heading in one direction while Labor was heading in another. The trend was building speed and momentum. In Whales, Labor has surged 16 points in a week.

Theresa May is under constant fire from all sides. It’s been a really bad two weeks for her. She speaks in front of small audiences while Corbyn addresses massive audiences. It’s starting to look like Clinton vs. Sanders over there. Or Clinton v Trump for that matter.

And now this.

The Prime Minister has suspended her campaign as a result of the attack. She says it’s “clear” they have been targeted by terrorism and of course Fox News and Sky News over there couldn’t agree more.

It’s important to note, Jeremy Corbyn has a long history of wanted to get Britain out of the coalition of the willing in Syria.

It’s also well known that May has every intention to remain part of the coalition of regime change assets in Syria and there was even a recent article in the Guardian in which they laid out the differences between the two main factions in this upcoming election:

“A vote for the Conservatives is a vote to escalate the war in Syria and prolong the suffering of its people, Labour has said, after it emerged that Theresa May could try to push a motion through the House of Commons on joining military action against Bashar al-Assad if she wins next month’s election…

Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National party and Greens are lining up to oppose any escalation of military action against the Syrian president, but May would find it easier to defy them and Tory backbench rebels if the polls are correct that she is on course for a sizeable majority on 8 June.

Thornberry raised the stakes with a warning that backing the Tories was a “vote to repeat the mistakes of Iraq from a prime minister who just last weekend refused to accept that she got Iraq wrong”.” Guardian

Why is it that all of these acts of terrorism in the UK and elsewhere across the globe always seem to happen right as some country is deciding to either dig in deeper in the Middle East or back away? It happened in France (a couple times), it happened in Australia and it happened in Japan.

The purveyors of such things always say that terrorism promotes militarism. When countries get hit, they tend to lean toward a more aggressive stance in foreign affairs. It’s a fact. 9/11 is a good example.

And who is the candidate who’s “tough on terrorism” and wants to get deeper into the regime change game in Syria? You guessed it… the one who happens to be slipping in the polls right now.

Or at least she was.

I know it’s jaded and cynical of me, but less than two months ago a terrorist cell was discovered in France operating out of the German army. An active duty soldier was arrested making ready a false flag attack and the plan was traced up the command line pretty high as I recall. In fact, just two weeks ago another soldier was busted for being part of the plan.

I don’t know who is behind this attack and I am certainly not suggesting Theresa May had any part in it’s planning. But if you think assholes like that Israeli contractor who was on Fox this morning are incapable of doing things like this in order to advance their own ideology when it comes to the upcoming election determining how much Britain is going to “throw money” at them, you are indeed naive.

And then, of course, there is always the Deep State which is certainly very active in Europe these days.

Whatever happened, my heart goes out the victims and their loved ones who suffer right now as a result of this horrendous act.

Terrorism is terrorism. Whether it comes from some Saudi Wahhabist “moderate” head-chopper or your local fusion center, it’s still as rank, still as cowardly.

And for someone to target children? That’s even worse.

Of course, they targeted children two months ago when those buses of refugees were attacked in Syria by our “moderate” head-choppers. The media barely mentioned their suffering. But that’s a different story. Or is it?

It’s a horrible thing these bastards are doing. Trick is, knowing who the bastards are.
