What the frigging heck is Policy Exchange?
From the horses mouth - their own website "About Us" explains thus:
"Policy Exchange is an independent think tank whose mission is to develop and promote new policy ideas which will foster a free society based on strong communities, personal freedom, limited government, national self-confidence and an enterprise culture.
Policy Exchange is committed to an evidence-based approach to policy development. We work in partnership with academics and other experts and commission major studies involving thorough empirical research of alternative policy outcomes. We believe that the policy experience of other countries offers important lessons for government in the UK. We also believe that government has much to learn from business and the voluntary sector.
The Chairman of our Board of Trustees is Charles Moore. The other Trustees are Theodore Agnew, Richard Briance, Camilla Cavendish, Richard Ehrman, Robin Edwards, Virginia Fraser, Lizzie Noel, George Robinson, Andrew Sells, Tim Steel, Alice Thomson and Rachel Whetstone."
Very neat init. That looks very good for the social life of all of us. If you go to the "Support Us" Link you find that it is a charity. So a charity even though they say they are independantly funded, might do the biddings of the funding agents, wouldn't they? I sent an email to the website requesting the donars list. See what happens.
Now the reason I brought this Policy Exchange thingy out for discussion is; I found an article in the WSWS about them.
My wee bit of research took me to the wikipedia explanation of the subject and it looks devious by the second. Mr Brown what are you upto? I am getting browned off man. Read this if you are too lazy to go to the link.
"Policy Exchange is a British think tank based in London. It describes itself as right of centre, but has also been labeled "neo-con attack dog" on account of the involvement of neoconservatives within the organisation, such as Research Director, Dean Godson, and its founder, MP Michael Gove, and the nature of its reports on Islam (discussed below). According to The Daily Telegraph, it is both "the largest, but also the most influential think tank on the right", being described as David Cameron's 'favourite think tank'."
Further I went to wikipedia and checked Charles Moore's page. Not much written there as it is just a stub. But if you google him the first link is about him voicing his abject horror of the abduction of Alan Johnston of the BBC.
"Watching the horrible video of Alan Johnston of the BBC broadcasting Palestinian propaganda under orders from his kidnappers, I found myself asking what it would have been like had he been kidnapped by Israelis, and made to do the same thing the other way round."
Any way my point is he is right-winged-neocon-stooge for the Zionists. Sorry if I am a bit blunt.
I found the pdf articles "The Hijacking of British Islam" and "Living apart together". The second was authoured by three people Viz. Munira Mirza, Abi Senthilkumaran and Zein Ja'far, of whome I could not find any Zionist connection but to the contrary.
The first which created the uproar, was written by Denis MacEoin who is a novelist and a former lecturer in Islamic studies. But he is another Zionist poodle who seems to be muddying the Muslim world by being a specialist in the subject, according to this.
"In recent years, he has become active in pro-Israel advocacy (hasbara), chiefly in his capacity as a writer. He continues to work on Islamic issues, particularly the development of radical Islam. In December 2007 the BBC news program Newsnight produced evidence that suggested some material on which MacEoin's report on radical Islam in the UK for Policy Exchange The Hijacking Of British Islam was based had been forged.[1]. Before this, several university-based academics had questioned the authenticity of the report and the political motives of its authors. Dr Gabriele Marranci, at the University of Aberdeen who has studied Muslim communities in depth, stated he had found many problems with the research early on[2] and had posed a number of open questions to Dr MacEoin regarding the Policy Exchange report which are yet to be answered. This has led to accusations of partisanship and bias against Dr Eoin on the basis of his declared antipathy to Islam after he stated: "I do not hold a brief for Islam. On the contrary, I have very negative feelings about it...I am pro-Israeli and involve myself in the defence of Israel".".
Now do you see my point? I had a treat the other day, as I took a taxi from Barton Hill to me place. Yep it was raining, and my back was paining. The Taxi Man was a Sunni Arab Muslim. He was ranting and raving about what he would do if he catches Bush lurking about in Bristle. Hmmm chances are none. But the emotions cannot be ignored at all. There are lots of non muslims like myself, who are angry about the way the Christian right with the Zionists have taken power, from the people, in most of the West. This is a classic example looks like.
When you think about our own past in this country we have had a lot of personal grievances about other races and nations like the frigging French. How many English will shout "Kill the Frog!" init? That does not mean, that all the English get together and kill the French, but if it happened in the past, then it was done politically and that is what is happening now about the Muslims. And that is screwy.
