Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in the U.K. today, where he will stay at Buckingham Palace, beginning his meeting schedule Tuesday, Oct. 20 with the Royals, the Prime Minister, opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, an address to Parliament and a visit to Manchester to discuss China’s participation in the effort to build up the industrial north of England.

Reuters notes that, while the British are looking to sign nuclear, high-speed rail, and other major projects during the visit, and talking of a “golden era” of U.K.-China relations, there will be some anti-China demonstrations by Amnesty International, Uighurs and other NGOs.

In a written interview with Reuters (prepared by his staff but approved by President Xi), Xi emphasized economic collaboration, noting that “while global growth has slowed down, China-U.K. investment and business cooperation has kept growing.”

Xi said: “The U.K. has stated that it will be the Western country that is most open to China. This is a visionary and strategic choice that fully meets Britain’s own long-term interest.” On the U.K. drive to be China’s financial hub, Xi said: “As one of the global financial centers, London is an important pump station in the world economic lifeline, so to speak. Strengthened financial cooperation with London is definitely a win-win choice for both countries.”

Lyndon LaRouche noted that there are top British interests who have a real problem on their hands, and wish to change the appearance of what they’re doing, but not the policy substance.

Xi protested the complaints about the Chinese government role in business: “Even under market conditions, countries support the growth of their companies in various ways, and such measures should not be all labeled as government subsidy. China’s system is different from that of Western countries. Due to historical reasons, Chinese companies perform many social functions, which are hard to measure with a simple arithmetic formula.”

He also hit at the real cause of the much ballyhooed slow-down in China (a “slow-down” to a mere 6.9% rate of growth in the last quarter!): “As an economy closely linked to international markets, China cannot stay immune to the lackluster performance of the global economy. We do have concerns about the Chinese economy, and we are working hard to address them. We also worry about the sluggish world economy, which affects all countries, especially developing ones.” 

Lyndon LaRouche Monday presented a strategic overview of the battle to immediately remove Obama from the White House, and “turn the tide in favor of humanity,” in his opening remarks to the weekly LaRouche PAC Policy Committee webcast. He began by taking stock of where we stand, about one week after the Tuesday, Oct. 13 Democratic Presidential debate, and the overt British deployment to shape that debate over the prior weekend.

“Right now we have reached a turning point, which follows on what happened on the 10th, and that was a travesty. It was an orgy, an abomination. But unfortunately for the enemy, that is not a popular trend, and it’s going to go in the other direction—and it has gone. We have had, in the past interval of a week, we have had the greatest increase of popular support among people who are voting or planning to vote, that we’ve had in a very long time.

“So therefore, now our job is not to be abstract about these problems. We know that we now have put the spurs on Obama, that Obama is now finished. Everything globally says that Obama is finished. That’s what’s going to happen now.”

LaRouche elaborated that the LaRouche movement’s organizing activity, led by the Manhattan Project, is finding “a complete change from pessimism” in much of
the population. He added that this changed situation also has everything to do with the global leadership which Russia and China are providing.

“So, it’s great! This is what has happened with Russia. Russia’s activity has been the mechanism, the achievement of Russia’s success, and what it’s still doing, has been the trigger which has ignited a global ability to turn the tide in favor of mankind. And that’s what we’re doing!”

While cautioning that the needed dramatic changes are not going to come easily, LaRouche added: “But what I got over the past 48 hours is a striking blow: the nation and parts of the world are moving. And of course, what China and Russia have done in adding to that, has been absolutely crucial in this change in the circumstances of the whole planet.

“So we are in a period of responsibility, not to claim great achievements, but to realize that we have the possibility of achievements which were not accessible to us for a long time. And therefore, we have to use and support those talents, recognizing that you have a responsibility, to make sure that you make your contribution in the process which we’re fighting to bring forth now.”

ABC News’ Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson delivered a double assault on President Obama Sunday morning, focusing on the ongoing Congressional Benghazi investigation and the role of Obama and Hillary Clinton in the overthrow of Muammar Qadaffi, at a point that he had become a leading U.S. ally in the global war on terrorism.

Attkisson began her Benghazi coverage by recounting detailed reports that had arrived at the State Department and the White House as the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks were underway, identifying the Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia as the attackers.  The news report zeroed in on the conversations between Obama and Clinton, where the fake narrative was devised, highlighting the role of Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, who was in charge of putting out the lying account, and Susan Rice.  The exposé also nailed Victoria Nuland, who also played a central role in the fake talking points.  The inclusion of Nuland in the exposé can have a further benefit of weakening the U.S. ability to continue to support the Nazis in Ukraine.

Gregory Hicks, who was deputy chief of mission in Tripoli the day of the attacks, was shown testifying before Congress in late 2012, telling the Congress that he repeatedly asked for more military help, and was told by his defense attaché that units would be arriving in Benghazi within 2-3 hours.

Hillary Clinton will testify on Thursday, Oct. 22, before the House Banghazi select committee.

The second segment of the show featured an interview with former Congressman Peter Hoekstra, who was chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, accusing the Obama Administration of betraying Qadaffi by supporting Islamist extremists to overthrow him.  He told Attkisson that he had personally met with Qadaffi three times, and that in 2003, Qadaffi had changed and become a key U.S. ally in the global war on terrorism.  He charged that the Benghazi coverup by President Obama was partly motivated by the fact that the very Islamic extremists who the U.S. supported, in overthrowing Qadaffi, carried out the Sept. 11, 2012 assault on the Benghazi diplomatic compounds.  He described them as radical jihadists with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.  Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both bought into the strategy of overthrowing Qadaffi.  The U.S., he concluded, trained and equipped those who attacked the Benghazi compounds.  It was part of a much larger Middle East policy failure by Obama.  

The New York Times Magazine Sunday featured an extensive article by Jonathan Mahler, resurrecting Seymour Hersh’s May 2015 expose of how the Obama Administration lied about the killing of Osama Bin Laden.  Mahler conducted extensive interviews with Hersh and cross-checked his account with a number of sources in the United States and Pakistan.  While he did not directly corroborate Hersh’s account, his own research added to the evidence that the Obama White House and the CIA fabricated an account that played an important role in Obama’s 2012 re-election, and that Hersh’s own investigation had been thoroughly fact-checked by the publishers at the London Review of Books, including direct interviews with some of Hersh’s most important confidential informants.

In his original May 2015 account, Hersh charged that a Pakistani military officer had “walked in” to the CIA with details on Bin Laden’s whereabouts, in return for the $25 million reward and placement in the Federal Witness Protection Program, thus debunking the Obama and CIA claims that Bin Laden had been found by an elaborate intelligence gathering process that showed how effective the U.S. intelligence system was.

Hersh furthermore proved that the Pakistani authorities had been in on the raid to kill Bin Laden from the outset, and a fabricated story had been worked out with U.S. officials to conceal their role (the story that the crash landing of one of the two Black Hawk helicopters used by Navy SEALs in the raid prompted Obama to double-cross the Pakistanis and reveal Bin Laden’s death within hours of the assault).  For years, Saudi Arabia had been paying Pakistan to keep Bin Laden in safe, protective custody in a safehouse compound in Abbottabad.  By pre-arrangement with the U.S., Pakistani military and ISI guards, protecting Bin Laden, were withdrawn from the compound just before the American helicopters landed.

The New York Times Magazine story reiterated the special role that then-White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan had played in putting out the hoax account.

No American publication would touch the Hersh story when he first wrote it, including New Yorker Magazine, where Hersh had been writing since the 1970s.  The fact that the New York Times Magazine published the in-depth story Sunday, regardless of the fact that the author did not 100 percent corroborate the Hersh account, is another blow to Obama’s image.  Coming just days after the release of the Drone Papers, documenting his personal role as a mass murderer on a global scale, the New York Times Magazine account adds to the growing picture of President Obama as a killer and a liar who should be immediately removed from office.

The situation is suddenly very ripe for President Obama’s immediate removal from office.  In that same context, with her Benghazi testimony scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 22 before the House Select Committee, it is also to be expected that Hillary Clinton will soon be dumped as well.
 
Over the weekend, President Obama was stung by four devastating attacks on his crimes in office.  Most dramatically, new details continue to emerge from the Drone Papers, the leaked documents that show that President Obama, from his earliest days in office, was in charge of a global assassination program, run out of the White House Situation Room, in which thousands of people were targeted for assassination in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, under Obama’s drone-kill program.  An estimated 90 percent of the victims of this mass murder program were not even on the target lists, personally signed by Obama. They were, however, immediately classified as terrorists and enemy combatants to cover up the magnitude of the Obama crimes.
 
The Drone Papers were only first made public on Thursday, but already, Amnesty International has demanded a thorough Congressional investigation.  More to the point, Lyndon LaRouche demanded over the weekend that Obama be immediately removed from office, either through impeachment or the invoking of the 25th Amendment—and then put on trial before a criminal court for mass murder.
 
On Sunday, the New York Times Magazine published a lengthy reprise of Seymour Hersh’s May 2015 expose of the fraud behind the Obama White House account of the murder of Osama bin Laden in 2011.  Obama, then-White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan, and others in the Obama inner circle, blatantly lied about the circumstances surrounding the killing of bin Laden, all to boost Obama’s re-election prospects at the expense of the truth.  Obama and his team fabricated an elaborate Hollywood-style fable about the raid in Abbottabod, Pakistan, touting the CIA’s sleuth work, when the key information all came from a Pakistani officer who walked in with the precise location of the Al Qaeda leader—in return for the $25 million reward. The White House, typically, covered up the role of the Saudis, who paid for years for bin Laden’s safe keeping under the watchful eye of Pakistan’s ISI.  The New York Times Magazine, while not fully corroborating the Hersh account, gave the first prominent American media coverage of the real story.
 
The highly-respected international organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF) escalated their campaign against Obama by issuing new charges and new evidence over the weekend that the US willfully bombed their hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, and then sent in heavy vehicles to plow over the evidence.  An unnamed Pentagon source confirmed that MSF had “done everything right,” in documenting the location of the hospital so it was placed on an off limits list, made up of hospitals, schools and mosques that were never to be attacked, even if there was evidence of Al Qaeda or Taliban fighters in the immediate vicinity.  This was another Obama mass kill operation, and it may be relevant that the bombing in Kunduz came at a point that MSF vowed to fight to defeat Obama’s signature Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, because it would deny life-saving generic drugs to half a billion poor people around the world.
 
With the Hillary Clinton testimony coming up, ABC News on Sunday morning aired a documentary expose of Obama, Clinton, Victoria Nuland and Ben Rhodes, for lying to the American people and covering up the Al Qaeda assault on the US compound in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012, where US ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American officials were killed.  The ABC broadcast mirrored Lyndon LaRouche and Jeffrey Steinberg’s Dec. 2012 National Press Club briefing, proving that Obama and Clinton knew, as the attacks were underway, that it was a premeditated, heavily armed Al Qaeda attack, conducted by the AQIM affiliated Ansar al-Sharia terrorist group.  Nuland, Obama, Clinton and Rhodes, along with Susan Rice, were all implicated in the ABC story in the crafting of the lies about the Benghazi attack, knowing full well that the attack had nothing to do with any “spontaneous demonstrations” about the slandering of the Prophet Mohammed.
 
The second part of the same ABC broadcast featured an interview with former Rep. Peter Hoekstra, who chaired the House Intelligence Committee, and charged that Obama had betrayed Libyan leader Qadaffi, who had become a leading ally in the war against Islamist terrorists, and that the Obama Administration had trained and armed the very terrorists who had carried out the 9/11/12 Benghazi slaughter.
 
The Drone Papers alone constitute a clear criminal bill of indictment against Obama that goes far beyond the “high crimes and misdemeanors” standard for impeachment.  Obama’s immediate removal from office is now the sanity test for the US Congress.
 
There is an opportunity, this week, to dump Obama and begin the process of restoring the United States to proper Constitutional rule, something that has been steadily eroded over the past 15 years of Bush and Obama.  There is nothing more important to be acted upon, starting right now.

I’m interested, keep me up to date.

After the Roman Circus DNC-sponsored “debate” on Tuesday night, the revolt against President Obama’s “little bitch” Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, his hand-picked chair of the Democratic National Committee, has escalated, and could soon become a full-scale revolt. A DNC source has confirmed that Wasserman-Schultz takes her orders from Obama and the Jarrett-Axelrod inner circle exclusively, and that it was on their orders that she restricted the number of debates, and allowed CNN to make a travesty out of the first debate by turning it into a peanut gallery gang war, thus demeaning the institution of the presidency even worse than Donald Trump and the GOP circus act.

The source emphasized that the expulsion of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Ha.), one of the DNC vice chairs from the Las Vegas show, had little to do with the protests against the small number of sanctioned debates. Gabbard is not only a harsh critic of Obama’s confrontation with Russia. She is a strong advocate of Glass-Steagall, and Lyndon LaRouche today emphasized that this is the chief reason for the Obama freakout, and his hysterical diktat to shut all serious subjects from the Democratic debates. Obama knows perfectly well that any substantive discussion during the Democratic debates will inevitably lead to denunciations of his disasterous policies, and this is forbidden. Wasserman- Schultz is the willing tool in Obama’s desperate moves, just as “frontrunner” Hillary Rodham Clinton still is a slave of Obama as the result of the four years of abuse she suffered as Obama’s secretary of state.

Huffington Post and other media outlets Friday were trumpeting the revolt against Wasserman-Schultz, while leaving Obama out of the equation. Rep. Gabbard has been joined by another DNC vice chair, former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, in going after Wasserman-Schultz as a psycho. Gabbard has publicly called the chair a liar, and Rybak told media that he is on the verge of demanding her removal as DNC Chair. An unnamed Democratic Party official said that the next Chair “will have to burn the place down to rebuild it,” after all the damage that Obama and Wasserman-Schultz inflicted.

Back when Obama first came in as President, his aides had called former Ohio Governor and Congressman Strickland and told him to expect a call asking him to be DNC Chair. The call never came, and Wasserman-Schultz got the post instead, reportedly as the result of personal intervention by Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama.

John Schindler, a former professor at the Naval War College, who now runs a national security website, has posted a note he received from a top diplomat (unnamed) from a European Union nation, who recently wrote: “My government believes that Obama is quite mentally unwell. How is impeachment going?” Schindler accompanied the note with a detailed excerpt from Article 4 of the 25th Amendment, which spells out the precise procedures for removing from office a president who is physically or mentally unfit to continue to serve.

During the summer, Schindler had posted another message, this time from a senior officer of a European NATO country, warning that there was a grave and growing danger of a war in Europe during the summer, and that it would be a miracle if war, including thermonuclear war, were avoided.

Sources at the United Nations reported that, after President Obama’s speech before the General Assembly in late September, diplomats were stunned by Obama’s disconnect from reality, as he charged Russia and China with violating international law, when everyone in the assembly knew that it was Obama who was the real criminal who trampled on the UN Charter.

The investigative-reporting website The Intercept, founded by Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, and others, today posted “The Drone Papers” — eight articles concerning America’s use of drone attacks in its post-9/11 wars, based in part on a leak of document-packages of PowerPoint-type slideshows, plus four of the document-packages. The documents, Scahill says in the first of the articles, “were provided by a source within the intelligence community who worked on the types of operations and programs described in the slides.”

In a second article, “Find, Fix, Finish,” Scahill outlines the known history of the drone program, and includes quotes to The Intercept by Gen. Michael Flynn, former Director of the DIA and a former commander of Joint Special Operations Command, criticizing the program. Flynn said,

A case-study based on the leaked documents is in the article, “Manhunting in the Hindu Kush; Civilian Casualties and Strategic Failures in America’s Longest War” by Ryan Devereaux, which centers on a 2011-2013 campaign, Operation Haymaker, in northeast Afghanistan. The article states its conclusion at the outset,”… the military’s own analysis demonstrates that the Haymaker campaign was in many respects a failure. The vast majority of those killed in airstrikes were not the direct targets. Nor did the campaign succeed in significantly degrading al Qaeda’s operations in the region.”

The document-source confirmed that military reporting on drone strikes assumes that individuals killed along with the actual target are also terrorists, and they’re designated in the records as “enemy killed in action,” (EKIA). Though missiles can also be fired from conventional aircraft, 9 times out of 10 they’re from drones. “Firing a missile at a target in a group of people, the source said, requires ‘an even greater leap of faith’ — a leap that he believes often treats physical proximity as evidence.”

The only one of the leaked documents which mentions civilian casualties is an annotated bar graph which shows mission statistics from September 2011 through September 2012, a total of more than 1,800 “night ops” with a total of 14 civilian casualty “events” for the year. “‘The 14 civilian casualties is highly suspect,’ said the source. `I know the actual number is much higher,’ he added. `But they make the numbers themselves so they can get away with writing off most of the kills as legitimate.'”

You can’t duck around the fact that the so-called Democratic Presidential campaigns are nothing but a clown show which is run by Britain,— not Obama, but Britain. And Obama has never been anything other than a stooge for Britain.

Lyndon LaRouche had earlier been made aware of British operations which were launched in that Western area of the United States four days before last Tuesday night’s so-called debate,— British operations aimed at setting up the clown-show of Tuesday night, and triggering the nationwide and worldwide reaction which followed on Wednesday morning.

Indeed, the ringmaster of Tuesday night’s circus, Anderson Cooper of the dubious CNN news outlet, is a Vanderbilt, of the British-loving Vanderbilt plutocrats. He is the son of fashion icon Gloria Vanderbilt, and a direct descendant of Cornelius Vanderbilt. From the mouth of this British agent, came the selection of “issues” which the so-called candidates had to address,— which “issues,” and when, and for how long. Again: this is the British, and nobody but the British.

Hillary Clinton’s great failure, as the big loser of the Tuesday night debate, was made clearer by a series of recent articles published by Glenn Greenwald’s news site the Intercept.com. Glenn Greenwald was one of the reporters for the original disclosures by Edward Snowden, and the Intercept’s current source has rightly been called a “new Edward Snowden.” He is a disenchanted official somewhere within the Obama drone-murder apparatus. Already, the source’s reports,— corroborated, like Snowden’s, with classified documents,— have moved the ACLU to denounce the drone killings as pure murder, which they are, and to cry out that all the reassurances by Obama and former Attorney General Holder have proven false.

Obama regularly sifts through what are called “baseball cards” of selected victims,— as he has ever since he assumed office,— to single out those who will be killed. The acclaimed so-called “high technology” of this murder program, which is much inferior to the Russian technology being deployed against ISIS, consists of tracking the locations of the cell-phones of the victims. And it’s highly fallible.

“It requires an enormous amount of faith in the technology that you’re using,” the source said. “There’s countless instances where I’ve come across intelligence that was faulty.” This, he said, is a primary factor in the killing of civilians. “It’s stunning the number of instances when selectors are misattributed to certain people. And it isn’t until several months or years later that you all of a sudden realize that the entire time you thought you were going after this really hot target, you wind up realizing it was his mother’s phone the whole time.”

(By the way, have you called your mother lately?)

And it’s still the case, after eight years of the Obama presidency, that unintended bystanders are killed in great numbers,— probably many times the number of targeted victims. During one five-month period of Operation Haymaker in Afghanistan, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets. “Anyone caught in the vicinity is guilty by association,” the source said. When “a drone strike kills more than one person, there is no guarantee that those persons deserved their fate. So it’s a phenomenal gamble.”

The documents show that the military designated people it killed in targeted strikes as EKIA—”enemy killed in action”—even if they were not the intended targets of the strike. Unless evidence posthumously emerged to prove the males killed were not terrorists or “unlawful enemy combatants,” EKIA remained their designation, according to the source. That process, he said, “is insane. But we’ve made ourselves comfortable with that. The intelligence community, JSOC, the CIA, and everybody that helps support and prop up these programs, they’re comfortable with that idea.”

This is what Hillary’s bought into,— the British murder policy of London’s puppet Obama, as a victim of what Lyndon LaRouche has long called the Bettelheim syndrome. She went from an intense fear of being murdered by Obama herself, to compliance with Obama’s wishes out of terror, and from there, all the way to becoming a would-be murderer herself.

Now Hillary, the sorcerer’s apprentice, even chides Obama for being less murderous than she is.

So don’t be fool enough to try to narrow this down to an “issue,” or to “issues,” as Anderson Cooper would have you do. Finally admit that this whole process is irremediably rotten to the core. What’s needed is real leadership, working through the Manhattan-centered process of triggering a new Renaissance. It is that which can catalyze a valid selection-process for a workable Presidency.

At a special session of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party on Oct. 12 called to discuss the issue of global governance, President Xi Jinping called for a major reform of the system of global governance, reported Xinhua Tuesday. Reform is necessary in order for China to play a greater role in global governance, Xi said, and international organizations must reform in order to reflect the significance of emerging markets and developing countries. Reform is “an irresistible trend,” Xi said, and reform at the global level is about “laying down rules for the international order and international mechanisms” as well as “deciding in which direction the world will head.”

Xi said the rise of developing nations like China, has brought about “revolutionary changes” to the world order and that it was now necessary that the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, for example, should undertake reforms to fully reflect the needs and interests of emerging markets. “It is not simply a case of competing for the high ground of economic development, but of what roles and functions nations will play in the long-term systemic arrangement of the international order.”

“Today, more than at any time before, countries need to negotiate,” Xi said. “Problems are not limited within borders, and challenges cannot be handled by any one country alone.” He cited China’s coordination of the One Belt, One Road regional trade and infrastructure network and its proposal for a new, more cooperative model of major-country relations as examples of a focus on common interest.

Xi stressed “resolutely safeguarding” the international order and a system centered on the UN Charter principles, as well as “safeguarding and consolidating” the benefits that resulted from the victory in World War II. “The purposes and principles of the UN Charter are not dated,” Xi said, adding that the fact that they have not been effectively implemented is to blame for rivalries and injustices today.

Xi also called for upholding an open world economic regime and “taking a clear-cut stand against” trade and investment protectionism, a not-so-subtle critique of the recently negotiated TPP, characterized by Global Times as a regime of British-style “imperial preferences.” Xi said China should defend its own interests as well as the common interests of developing countries, and focus not only on its needs as it develops, but also on the expectations the international community places on China. He urged efforts to build a “community of common destiny” and to promote global governance featuring mutual consultation, efforts, and sharing.

With the British empire reeling from a series of blows on multiple flanks, which call into question its very existence, BBC’s Panorama program was deployed last week in a bald attempt to shut down the particularly nasty threat to the credibility of the imperial apparatus: the pedophile scandal which has now engulfed the highest levels of the British elite, including the Royal family, leading to a Scotland Yard investigation into charges that many of the highest political, intelligence and defense circles of the British Establishment were involved in a VIP pedophile ring going back three decades, which involved multiple murders of children, their torture, grievous bodily harm, rape, and other sexual child abuse in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

State broadcaster BBC, which for decades promoted and protected the monstrous pedophile entertainer Jimmy Savile (who was an intimate friend and confidante of Prince Charles), used its Oct. 5 Panorama investigative report to set off a witch-hunt against those championing and carrying out the pedophile investigation, alleging that the whole scandal was invented. Their star “witness” was one abuse victim, who claimed he had named top politicians “as a joke,” and called upon the police to stop their investigation “into things that probably aren’t even true.” Demands for heads to roll followed apace.

Those pushing for the investigation have not folded. Right before the BBC Panorama story aired, Scotland Yard issued a statement warning that BBC could imperil “Operation Midland,” their investigation launched last November into the pedophile crimes. “Our concerns extend beyond Operation Midland. We are worried that this program and other recent reporting will deter victims and witnesses from coming forward in the future. Seeing an individual make allegations and then be targeted by the media is not going to encourage others to speak out,” Scotland Yard said.

Taking the public point for the investigation are Deputy Labour Party Leader Tom Watson, an investigative “online service” named Exaro, and veteran social worker Chris Fay, who blew the whistle on a key part of the pedophile ring.

Watson and Exaro also functioned as the point-people for the expose of Rupurt Murdoch’s illegal wiretapping operations, which damaged his media empire. Watson, profiled as a street-fighter politician, was also a leading figure in the 2007 political “coup” that brought down former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Exaro is reported to be financed primarily by wealthy economist Jerome Booth. Booth responded to the BBC Panorama and subsequent attacks with a statement promising to continue funding Exaro, citing reports that the Independent Police Complaints Commission is also investigating how 31 previous police investigations into child sex abuse by prominent people were shut down because of “corruption.”

The Royals are also going into action. An intimate of Prince Charles since they were boys, Conservative Party MP Sir Nicholas Soames, launched an extraordinary attack on Watson in the wake of the Panorama broadcast, demanding Watson apologize for making charges about one of the accused, now-deceased Sir Leon Brittan.

But Prince Charles has just been publicly linked to yet another high-level pedophile, 83-year-old Anglican Bishop Peter Ball, who was jailed on Oct. 8 for 32 months, for sexual abuse crimes going back 40 years. Since 1992, Ball had been a spiritual adviser and intimate of Charles, who gave Ball sanctuary at one of his Duchy of Cornwall properties when allegations first surfaced against him in 1993. Just this week, Charles was forced to issue a statement, denying that he had attempted to pervert the course of justice, while the Oct. 9 Daily Mail reported that Ball had been introduced into Charles’s inner circle by none other than Mountbatten protégé and BBC star Jimmy Savile.
