tanahMALAyu - Bekas Datuk Bandar London Ken Livingstone yg percaya bahawa sejak sejauh Perang DUNIA Pertama, Amerika Syarikat, dengan bantuan Britain, telah campur tangan beberapa kali di seluruh Timur Tengah hanya utk mengawal aliran minyak.
Jika anda mengikuti sejarah Timur Tengah sejak tempoh ini, maka Barat telah disangga rejim korup dan digulingkan yang dipilih secara demokratik, Ken Livingstone kepada RT.
Semua akhbar utama & media di Britain yg dimiliki oleh jutawan sedikit & mendaf-tar untuk pakatan Anglo-Amerika dan memberikan sokongan tidak berbelah bahagi kepada kepentingan Amerika meskipun kehilangan "beribu-ribu nyawa British," kata Livingstone.
Dan monopoli media adalah dgn latar belakang penurunan jumlah Ahli Parlimen, seperti Tony Benn dan Ken sendiri, yang akan menarik Parlimen dan soalan " kita telah terlibat dalam apa yang cerdik."
Encik Livingstone pergi lebih jauh dan menunjukkan bahawa ahli-ahli politik British arus perdana, seperti David Cameron & Tony Blair, diberi ganjaran apabila mereka bersara dengan jawatan lumayan di bilik lembaga syarikat-syarikat Amerika Syarikat, dan dia berkata, "Jika anda mencabar kepentingan Amerika anda mungkin tertakluk kepada kempen memburuk-burukkan, mungkin juga kemalangan buruk."
Livingstone berkata salah satu sebab beliau menyokong pemimpin Buruh Ed Miliband adalah kerana dia adalah pemimpin yang bersedia untuk berdiri dengan Konservatif pada perang asing, sebagaimana yang telah terbukti apabila pendirian beliau memainkan peranan penting dalam kekalahan parlimen Cameron mengenai penglibatan British di Syria.
"Saya fikir jika anda melihat perdana menteri British berdiri untuk mewakili kepen-tingan Britain bukan sahaja menjadi pemandu sorak untuk Amerika Syarikat - akan ada sokongan yang besar untuk itu," katanya.
Tetapi kerajaan itu selamat, dan selagi mereka mengekalkan majoriti di Dewan Rakyat dan boleh mengabaikan pandangan orang-orang British, yang sangat menentang penglibatan dalam perang Amerika. Malah, kata bekas Datuk Bandar, yang “lefty campaigns” terhadap perang asing "melibatkan diri lapisan kecil dari orang awam" dan orang-orang yang lebih prihatin dengan isu-isu dalam negeri seperti pendidikan, cukai dan NHS.
BRITISH public NOT Interested in fighting America's WARS - former London Mayor LIVINGSTONE . . .
Former mayor of London Ken Livingstone believes that since as far back as the First World War, the United States, with Britain’s help, has intervened on numerous occasions all over the Middle East just to control the flow of oil.
If you follow Middle East history since this period, then the West has propped up corrupt regimes and overthrown democratically elected ones, Ken Livingstone told RT.
All the main newspapers and media outlets in Britain are owned by a few billionaires and are signed up to the Anglo-American alliance and give unwavering support to America’s interests despite the loss of “thousands of British lives,” says Livingstone.
And the media monopoly is against a background of decreasing numbers of MPs, such as Tony Benn and Ken himself, who will pull parliament up and question “the kind of dodgy things we’ve been involved in.”
Mr Livingstone goes further and suggests that mainstream British politicians, such as David Cameron and Tony Blair, are rewarded when they retire with lucrative positions on the boardrooms of US corporations, and he says, “If you challenge America’s interests you might be subject to a smear campaign, possibly even a nasty accident.”
Livingstone says one of the reasons he supports Labour leader Edward Miliband is because he is a leader who is prepared to stand up to the Tories on foreign wars, as was proven when his stance was instrumental in Cameron’s parliamentary defeat on British involvement in Syria.
“I think if you see a British prime minster standing up to represent Britain’s interests not just be a cheerleader for the United States – there will be huge support for that,” he said.
But the government is safe, and as long as they maintain a majority in the House of Commons and can ignore the views of the British people, which are overwhelmingly against involvement in America’s wars. In fact, says the ex-mayor, the “lefty campaigns” against foreign wars “engage a small layer of the public” and people are far more concerned with domestic issues such as education, tax and the NHS.
