How (And How Not) To Beat a Smear Campaign....

RE: Jeremy Corbyn - Steve - 08-16-2019
Two hundred years ago today, on St Peter’s Field in Manchester, armed cavalry charged into a crowd of peaceful protesters.
At least 18 people were murdered in what became known as the Peterloo Massacre, among them children, a pregnant woman, and an Army veteran who had served in the Battle of Waterloo. Hundreds more were injured or mutilated.
More than 60,000 working class men, women and children from Manchester and the surrounding towns had gathered to demand an end to child labour, low pay, and rule by the rich. The meeting had the feel of a huge community festival – full of families, with local bands playing music and speakers giving voice to the desire for change.
The response from the authorities was carnage and bloodshed. They feared the people speaking up for themselves.
As the shockwaves from the massacre reached across the world, the establishment and the Tory government closed ranks. They branded the protesters violent revolutionaries and clamped down on the newspapers that supported their cause. It was not the murderous cavalrymen who were later imprisoned, but the speakers who had addressed the crowd.
But repression could not hold back the emerging working class movement. Survivors of Peterloo went on to help form the Chartists’ movement and the early Suffragette movement, campaigning for the right to vote for men and women respectively.
This is our history. A direct line runs from Peterloo to the foundation of the Labour Party, which exists to represent the interests of the majority against the elite at the top.
It’s why we use the slogan ‘For the many, not the few.’ It comes from Percy Shelley’s poem, The Masque of Anarchy, written in response to Peterloo about the power people have when they come together for change:
Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth, like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!

How many of Jeremy Corbyn's policies do you actually disagree with?

Jeremy Corbyn’s views on Northern Ireland have been the subject of much discussion during the election campaign....

Dispelling the Corbyn is an IRA supporter myth -
With the General Election on the horizon the old Corbyn is a IRA sympathiser lie is doing the rounds once again.
https://all-to-human.blogspot.com/2019/11/dispelling-corbyn-is-ira-supporter-myth.html
1. On 29th November 1994, Jeremy Corbyn signed a House of Commons Early Day Motion no.24 deploring the "terrorist atrocity & murderous violence" of the IRA’s Birmingham pub bombings.
2. In 1994, Jeremy Corbyn met four loyalist leaders including David Ervine whom he met five times both to discuss the wrongful imprisonment of UDR man Neil Latimer, and at Labour Party Conference in Blackpool in the October to receive notification of an impending ceasefire that was called just over a week later.
3. In an interview to the Belfast Telegraph on 10th October 2015, Ian Paisley's wife commented that Ian Paisley always found Jeremy Corbyn very courteous and polite. And that "he thought Jeremy Corbyn was a gentleman".
4. In February 1987, after initially incorrectly smearing him, Rupert Murdoch's The Times apologised to Jeremy Corbyn and admitted that he had ordered staff to phone the police to warn them of a suspected pIRA operative in London.
5. On 11th August 1988, the Irish Times ran an article praising Jeremy Corbyn as a "tireless campaigner for the Irish". Jeremy had worked to quash the wrongful conviction of the Guildford Four, and pushed for a reopening of the Bloody Sunday inquiry.
6. It was the Tory government who first spoke to Gerry Adams 11 years berfore Corbyn became an MP. MI5 files released under the thirty year rule showed that the Tory government released Gerry Adams from prison for secret talks in London. 476 people had died in 1972, the worst year of violence. MI5 files show that the Tory government concluded "there is no doubt whatsoever" that Gerry Adams "genuinely wants a ceasefire and a permanent end to violence". The British government also recorded that Adams's "response to every argument was reasonable and moderate".
7. Jeremy Corbyn only ever met Gerry Adams when the latter had entered electoral politics a full 14 years after the outbreak of the Northern Irish Conflict, in Adams's capacity as an elected MP. In the 1980s Margaret Thatcher placed a ban on elected Sinn Fein politicians' voices being broadcast. Jeremy thought this ran contrary to the principles of free speech. He was also keen that constituents from West Belfast were not silenced.
8. Gerry Adams visited Westminster in November 1996 to meet several Labour MPs, including Jeremy Corbyn. The only item on the agenda was to resurrect the ceasefire that had collapsed. The ceasefire was recommended months later and has lasted ever since. Bill Clinton had invited Gerry Adams to the White Hosue the previous year, thus Corbyn's actions fitted with the broader efforts for peace.
9. There were at least two controversies throughout all of this that do deserve explanation. Shortly after the Brighton bombing Corbyn along with other MPs met Republicans in Westminster. This is indeed insensitive and wrong. Corbyn's own motivation was to end the strip searching of female prisoners on remand.
10. On 13th May 1987, Jeremy Corbyn stood for a minute's silence to mark the eight people who had been killed by HM Armed Forces one week earlier in Armagh. One was an inoocent civilian but seven were pIRA men. The minute's silence was held at an intellectual gathering of Irish
sympathisers in London. The bodies were not all yet buried, and the circumstances were not wholly clear. There was controversy at the time over whether or not this was a shoot to kill incident. Indeed, the European Court awarded £10,000 compensation to each of the eight families.
And I'll add:
The Gandhi Foundation International Peace Award 2013
The Gandhi Foundation International Peace Award for 2013 was awarded to Jeremy Corbyn, MP Islington North on 26th November 2013 at Portcullis House.
The Trustees of The Gandhi Foundation agreed to offer him our International Peace Award in recognition of his consistent efforts over a 30 year Parliamentary career to uphold the Gandhian values of social justice and non‐violence. Besides being a popular and hard‐working constituency MP he has made time to speak and write extensively in support of human rights at home and world‐wide. His committed opposition to neocolonial wars and to nuclear weapons has repeatedly shown the lack of truth in the arguments of those who have opposed him.

I’m against all political flavours, and concluded that the “right” and the “left” are 2 sides of the same coin at the end of the 1990s when Serbia was bombed with the overwhelming support of Dutch parliament: https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1359
Maybe you’ve noticed that US President Donald Trump was a good friend of Hillary Clinton or that George Bush Jr. once ran for president “against” fellow member of Skull & Bones John Kerry (the school friend of Robert Mueller, who Bush Jr. selected for FBI Director).
In “Kingdoms” like the Netherlands or Britain things are even worse, as the King/Queen in charge has dictatorial powers by law. Colonies like Canada, Australia and New Zealand, by constitution or still ruled by a Governor-General selected by Queen Elizabeth.
Every policitian that doesn’t expose the dictators for what they are can’t be trusted!
Behind the scenes the Royal psychopaths use a cabal of secret societies to select and control politrics also abroad. One of the notorious institutions are the Fabians.
The link in your last post is from the Fabian London School of Economics...
Please note that Fabians don’t only control the “left wing” but also the Pan-Europa Union (that was involved with Hitler’s chief economic adviser Hjalmar Schacht, the good friend of Montagu Norman of the Bank of England) and “right wing” Mont Pelerin Society: https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=713&p=5593#p5593

Hi Firestarter, yes it’s true what you say about the Fabian Society, however I would argue that Jeremy Corbyn is a world away from Tony Blair, for example.
It is hard to trust any politician but at least with Corbyn he appears to demonstrate a semblance of compassion and empathy towards ordinary people with policies reflecting that position as described in the above link.
There are of course not many politicians who possess these qualities or attributes. They are few and far between, however I believe that Corbyn might just be one of them.
RE: Jeremy Corbyn - Ajaxx - 09-13-2019
The Fabians control the Labour Party that's for sure, but they certainly don't control the Left. There's plenty on the left who don't support The Fabians and The Labour Party. And as for controlling the EU. They can't get Labour elected. Are they really that powerful ? They're certainly a group of elitists though. Wolves in sheeps clothing.

Polling firm ‘suppressed election research that was too positive about Jeremy Corbyn’, former boss claims
Polling company YouGov suppressed research suggesting Jeremy Corbyn won a general election debate because it was “too positive about Labour”, a former manager at the firm has alleged.
Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi, who co-founded the company, also denied he had wielded influence over the firm on Wednesday amid renewed claims of Tory pressure.
The polling experts insisted former political research manager Chris Curtis was “incorrect” to claim they dropped the poll because it favoured the then-Labour leader in 2017.
The research suggested Jeremy Corbyn won a general election debate because it was “too positive about Labour” Kirsty O’Connor
On the five-year anniversary of the ballot opening, Mr Curtis, who is now head of political polling at rival firm Opinium, offered a critique of polling in the run-up to the 2017 general election.
He said YouGov conducted “a fantastic debate poll” in the hours after a debate Mr Corbyn took part in, showing the “stark” finding that he “won by a country mile, and one in four Tory voters thought he was best”.
“But despite having written the story and designed the charts, we were banned from releasing the story because it was too positive about Labour,” Mr Curtis tweeted.
YouGov issued a statement refuting the allegation, saying the poll was dropped after colleagues decided the sample involved “over-represented Labour voters”.
“We take our responsibilities as a research organisation seriously and we could not have published a poll from a skewed sample that favoured any party,” it added
Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi Aaron Chown
“No serious polling organisation would have published this.”
Mr Curtis also alleged that a “general sense of panic” at YouGov in the run-up to the election – in which Conservative Theresa May lost her majority when Labour performed better than expected – “led to certain decisions” at the company.
He pointed to a book excerpt saying Mr Zahawi had phoned YouGov chief executive and fellow founder Stephan Shakespeare after a poll pointed towards a hung Parliament.
According to All Out War by political journalist Tim Shipman, Mr Zawahi said: “They’ll be queuing up to close you down if you’re wrong on this.
