Did I say this would be weekly?

Doug Cassel: If the president deems that he's got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person's child, there is no law that can stop him?
John Yoo: No treaty.
Doug Cassel: Also no law by Congress -- that is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo...
John Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.

I said something unwise yesterday, on the interweb. I said the men's rights movement wasn't important enough to attract covert government infiltrators. Don't worry, it didn't take me long ot see the error of my ways. Fathers4Justice, of course, was scuppered by infiltrators. Agents provocateur were sent to provoke reputation-destroying acts of violence. The Met set them up to look like they were planning to kidnap Blair's son. Typical government op. One wing set something up, another wing rumble it and release it to the press. False flag.

You know, F4J was founded by a former member of CND. Doesn't go down well with the right-wingers in the movement, especially the Americans. They prefer to concentrate on the men in tights. As a topic title on the RI board recently said "Republicans *heart* gay bathroom sex". Left-wingers aren't any happier and tend to ignore him, those outside the movement that is. Like that left-winger in Icke's entourage when he went to Canada, as chronicled by Jon Ronson. The other members of "Anti-Racist Action" and so on thought he'd gone over to the dark side. He just thinks shape-shifting lizard men run the world. He's no racist.

"This country was founded on the principle that the primary role of government is to protect property from the majority, and so it remains." -- Noam Chomsky
