Israeli company BlackCore has been uncovered interfering with elections in Scotland, France and New York.
The antipathy towards Scotland is hard-wired and the casual disdain for democracy a feature not a glitch of Starmer’s government. The actions of BlackCore and the inactions of the UK government, riddled with Israeli money, warp and distort reality.
Black ops and disinformation distort reality, but in truth ‘reality’ is already pretty distorted. As George Monbiot writes [The Belfast riots, Palestine Action protests. What is terrorism now – and why the hypocrisy?]:
“…while more than 3,000 people have now been arrested for holding up signs in support of the banned group, and many face terrorism charges, no one in Belfast or Southampton has been charged with terrorist offences. Nor have those who whipped up the riots online. In fact, the latter group hasn’t yet been charged with anything. If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV.”
Neil Mackay at the Herald has written: “A UK parliamentary inquiry should be established to investigate the behaviour of Russia, China and Iran. The Israeli firm BlackCore should now also be included.”
He added: “An agency like France’s Viginum should be established so we have a rolling security operation against foreign interference. Any Britons found working for foreign states should face the full force of the law.”
This is all true but it will never happen. The whole affair reveals the stark reality of being tied to the British State. The need for an independent Scotland with an independent foreign policy is more obvious than ever.
