Cash for Peerages, A private prosecution?

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

One thing that is clear from the Cash for honours affair is that those who suspect wrong doing are not happy. Guido has set up an online pledge to see how many people he can get together to back a private prosecution. I have signed it, see here.

This mainly centers on a rather obvious breech of the The Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 and in particular the loans made. Part IV of the act, section 50 says as follows:

Donations for purposes of Part IV.

50. – (1) The following provisions have effect for the purposes of this Part.

(2) “Donation”, in relation to a registered party, means (subject to section 52)-

(a) any gift to the party of money or other property;

(b) any sponsorship provided in relation to the party (as defined by section 51);

(c) any subscription or other fee paid for affiliation to, or membership of, the party;

(d)
any money spent (otherwise than by or on behalf of the party) in paying
any expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the party;

(e) any money lent to the party otherwise than on commercial terms;

(f)
the provision otherwise than on commercial terms of any property,
services or facilities for the use or benefit of the party (including
the services of any person).

Note (e) in bold. In
principle a prosecution would turn on whether loans made, for
Lordships, were or were not on commercial terms. There are statements
in the public domain that indicate some certainly were not on what any
sensible person would regard as commercial terms, and indeed it is
arguable that were the Labour party in a position to borrow on
commercial terms it would have done so. So if the loans were not
commercial we get to section 61 which is here:

61. – (1) A person commits an offence if he-

(a) knowingly enters into, or

(b)
knowingly does any act in furtherance of, any arrangement which
facilitates or is likely to facilitate, whether by means of any
concealment or disguise or otherwise, the making of donations to a
registered party by any person or body other than a permissible donor.

(2) A person commits an offence if-

(a) he knowingly gives the treasurer of a registered party any information relating to-

(i) the amount of any donation made to the party, or

(ii) the person or body making such a donation,

which is false in a material particular; or

(b)
with intent to deceive, he withholds from the treasurer of a registered
party any material information relating to a matter within paragraph
(a)(i) or (ii).

Now, we know that Matt Carter and now Jack Dromey the
former and present Labour party treasurers claim they were blissfully unaware of theses
loans. If they were indeed not commercial then clearly there is an
offence here as well.
though (b) would give some trouble as there is a need to show intent.

Now, it has to be said that the CPS did look at the issue of loans but dismissed them thus, at paragraph 30 of their statement:

30. In relation to possible breaches of the 2000 Act, we are satisfied that we
cannot exclude the possibility that any loans made – all of which were made
following receipt by the Labour Party of legal advice – can properly be
characterised as commercial.

Which
seems a bit dismissive and rather odd. After all legal opinions vary,.
look at Lord Goldsmith on the Iraq war. However what they seem to be
saying is Labour's lawyers say it's OK so it is.

So, if you think we have been short changed, please read Guido here and sign the pledge here.

North American Union- Connecting the Dots

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

Just as Gordon Brown needs to lie to the people of Britain to bring about the final handover of sovereignty to Brussels in the creation of the European Empire, so too do the leaders of the 3 countries discussing in secret the North American Union (the Western Empire).

Following on from a previous article by Kevin Parkinson, he writes again this time joining up the dots and giving time-scales for the new Union.

Why is this important to us in the UK. Put simply, it mirrors what we are facing with the creation of the European Empire, the lack of discussion with the people, the hand over of national powers, our loss of liberty and democracy, the destruction of national institutions, the dumbing down and indoctrination of our children, national registers, overbearing government secrecy and surveillance of our own populations and the formation of new super states, to be run by unelected elites.

It uses the same tools and methods, the politics of fear, terrorism, political correctness and propaganda through a compliant and willing MSM.

Kevin Parkinson writes for Global Research.

My previous articles on this website
explain in detail the lead up to the North American Union under the
pretense of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and the
cleverly disguised methods the governments of Mexico, Canada and the
United States have used and will continue to use to change the face and
the future of our North American continent.

The upcoming, so-called SPP Conference in Montebello, Quebec from
August 20-21 will bring the leaders of the three countries together to
‘ratify’ the SPP, about which their respective citizens know almost
nothing. This is all part of a carefully laid out plan, and is no
accident. Our government leaders are not at all interested in
discussing this issue with the people who elected them. Democracy with
a different twist.

The media is complicit in this fascist act by government in
collusion with the corporate multinationals, and have either refused to
publish anything relevant, or have glossed over the entire issue in
true lapdog fashion.

For further background information of the effects on Canada because
of the impending North American Union, you can do no better than to
read Maude Barlow’s “Too Close for Comfort” wherein
Ms Barlow provides painstaking and shocking facts into the economic
pillage that will affect all citizens except the wealthiest of the
elite.

The purpose of this article is to analyze what else is going on in
our countries right now, and then to determine what relationship this
activity has with the NAU. I am stating up front that these arguments
will be conjectural but need to be addressed.

Decline of U.S. Economy

There’s no shortage of articles on the Internet explaining the
‘life-support’ system that the U.S. economy is on. The Washington Post
referred to the upcoming bust earlier this month. Stock prices and
company valuations are set to take a fall and government may have to
raise taxes. Interest rates are starting to rise, and the staggering
debt-financed consumption in the U.S. will lead to massive defaults on
mortgages and a huge ‘asset grab’ by the rich. China and Middle East
oil magnates, who will not permit interest rates to come down, are
propping up the United States.
Predictions vary but we may start seeing major monetary shocks by December 2007, but more likely in 2008.

American Dollar= Canadian Dollar= 10 Pesos

The Canadian dollar this week hit a thirty-year high and traded at
$.96 American. It is expected to achieve parity with the American
dollar this year. This will mean that both the American and Canadian
dollar will trade for somewhere around 10 Mexican pesos.

I find this sudden parity of currencies to be extremely coincidental
since one of the tenets of the North American Union will be a new
currency. This is not speculation. It is part of the SPP agreement that
will assuredly be ratified in Montebello next month. So, with the
currencies of the three countries now closely aligned, it will be a lot
easier to introduce a new North American currency, the AMERO!

United States Immigration Crisis

There are
an estimated 15 to 20,000,000 illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico
living in the United States. The administration of George W. Bush has
deliberately allowed this to happen and is now doing a tap dance to
stall any immediate action to resolve this huge problem.

The point is, if you knew we were heading into a North American
Union in 2010, to which Bush is a proponent, why would this worry you?

All he needs to do is stall until 2008, and let the new president
stall for another 2 years. By 2010, it will all be academic since the
‘illegals’ will become ‘legal’ overnight. In the European Union the
countries are virtually borderless. People travel from France to Spain
just like people travel from Ontario to Quebec or from Vermont to New
Hampshire. The borders will disappear overnight. The illegal
immigration problem will disappear as well.

Passport Issue

A prior article on this site deals with the passport issue between
Canada and the United States. The requirements between the two
countries keep changing, and people are very confused. Now the idea of
a ‘smart card’ has surfaced and is currently be ‘tested.’

My sense is that, as with the imminent Amero currency, officials are
stalling because there will be new requirements, or perhaps no
requirements, since we will all become part of one North American
Union, and would only require a passport when we leave or enter that
union.

Conclusion

Other articles on this subject suggest that the general public will
resist such huge changes, having had no input, information or rebuttal
to the whole idea of a North American Union. By now, we should all
understand that we are part of a fascist state since we are being
denied ANY opportunities for democratic participation into what amounts
to the most abrupt, fraudulent and pervasive change in our governance
since Confederation.

The question is: how will the elite, the corporate rulers and the
government leaders ‘sell’ this bill of goods to the electorate?

Traditionally, instilling a climate of fear and using the tried and true, ‘problem-reaction-solution’ method achieves this.

Whether it be a thoughtful, well planned and executed economic
crash, or whether some tragic and unforeseen ‘event’ happens, a
frightened population will always react to the problem and demand a
solution from its government.

And lo and behold, the government will just happen to have a
solution in its back pocket, something that has been in the making
since former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney signed the Free Trade
Agreement in Canada in 1984. Since 1984 our governments have been
working towards one final goal.

Welcome to 2010. Welcome to the North American Union.

Glasgow bombers – AFP admit Haneef SIM card evidence wrong

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

THE Australian Federal Police have
admitted that crucial evidence against Gold Coast doctor Mohamed Haneef
- that his mobile phone SIM card was found at the scene of a British
car bombing – is wrong.

It had not been confirmed the SIM card was found at the scene of
the Glasgow Airport attack, as prosecutors alleged during the terror
suspect's bail hearing last weekend, federal police sources have told
Fairfax newspapers.

The revelation has cast fresh doubts over police handling of the Haneef case.

Criticism
has come from Peter Faris QC, who has backed the government's new
anti-terror laws, and Queensland Premier Peter Beattie, who has
expressed concern.

The SIM card, the smart card in mobile
phones, was found in the possession of one of Dr Haneef's cousins,
Sabeel Ahmed, in Liverpool, hundreds of kilometres away from the failed
Glasgow bombing.

No official attempt has been made to correct
the public record, despite police sources telling Fairfax newspapers they had been
aware of the error for some time.

Asked why Dr Haneef would
have provided his SIM card if he knew it was to be used for the
purposes of terrorism, prosecutor Clive Porritt, from the Office of the
commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), told the court it
had been intended that the SIM card would be destroyed in the planned
explosion when the Jeep was rammed into the Glasgow airport doors.

A spokeswoman for the DPP said: “It is not appropriate for us to comment on matters before the court.”

What's the betting this is not reported in the UK at all, with the UK media still referring to the Australian connection to continue to promote the politics of fear.
