The exposure of the huge con perpetrated by Keir Starmer’s handlers – their smears against Jeremy Corbyn, their attacks on the Canary and other left, and some far-right, media sites and the amplification of the ‘Labour antisemitism’ scam – has started to go global as US outlets pick up Paul Holden’s stunning book The Fraud and its significance.

Dropsite News’s Ryan Grim has broken the ice with an analysis of the book’s revelations and what they say about not only Keir Starmer’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney and his Israel lobby-funded ‘Labour Together’ outfit, but also of its Orwellian-esque offshoot the ‘Centre for Countering Digital Hate’ (CCDH) and Imran ‘Imi’ Ahmed, the former Angela Eagle staffer accused of collaborating with UK spy agencies, who runs it.

Morgan McSweeney’s involvement has now been extensively exposed by The Fraud – serialised on the Canary – but Ahmed’s activities, although covered in the book, have been less widely reported. However, Grim picks up on his role in turning the astroturfed scam into a cudgel against Corbyn and a US-based propaganda machine that touted for Israeli funds to smear and undermine the apartheid colony’s pro-Palestine opponents.

Grim’s viewpoint is interesting: from a country that, despite the Trump regime’s fascist assault on the rights of its people, still enjoys some protection for its freedom of speech, he recognises that the UK looks like a nation that:

decided to put an end to itself rather than allow public anger to be channeled by the one-time Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Then Grim, by featuring Holden’s own analysis of the facts his book uncovers, goes on to show how the scams perpetrated during the Corbyn period by Labour Together, CCDH and its sock-puppet ‘Stop Funding Fake News’ (SFFN) to topple Corbyn and install Starmer in his stead, have led directly to the burgeoning police state Starmer is building against the people of this country, their rights and their freedoms, all to protect Israel and its interests.

Attempted destruction of left-wing outlets

Grim (with Holden) also looks at, and in fact headlines his article for, SFFN’s attacks on far-right news sites like Breitbart. That may well be because Breitbart will ring more bells with US readers than the Canary. Of course, McSweeney notoriously said, as The Fraud notes, that he and his lackeys had to destroy the Canary or it would destroy them. It seems not to occur to Grim that targeting far-right sites was an SFFN pantomime to disguise its real focus on destroying left media, but the tactics used were the same in any event – a group claiming to be ‘grassroots activists’, but in reality a political misdirection operation, trying to destroy its targets by strangling their advertising revenue.

This was the same method, not coincidentally, that Ahmed boasted about to the Israel lobbyists and other US right-wing bigwigs he hoped would give him cash, though in a humorous twist it hasn’t stopped him being targeted by the Trump regime for deportation, no doubt because – as Holden-Grim lay out – CCDH, under the Biden regime, targeted Trump and his media supporters.

Holden’s book is a devastating exposé of the lies and tactics deployed by the Labour right to prevent real change coming to the UK, to protect that faction’s own interests and, as ever, those of Israel. It should also serve as a huge eye-opener for US readers as they see the US Israel lobby’s tactics, regardless of who is president, mirrored as well as destroying what little remains internationally and domestically of the reputation and credibility of Starmer personally and the ‘red Tory’ faction as a whole.

Consequences

Tragically, it comes too late to prevent the damage done; whether it is too late to help stop the UK from being dragged into the same fascist dystopia Trump is trying to create in the US remains to be seen, but at the least there is a satisfaction in seeing chickens brought home to roost and crap on the heads of some of those who helped Starmer wreck our country and what passed for the UK’s democracy.
