DECLASSIFIED. Files/analysis on 1994 Rwanda genocide highlight UK complicity, that UK officials had a wealth of knowledge on the killings and took decisions not to act to prevent or stop them, preferring to promote UK power and economic interests. bit.ly/2xP19Sc pic.twitter.com/7hVSkwPoHF

DECLASSIFIED. At time Blair was lying over Iraq’s WMD in 2003, UK was actually selling to Syria components that helped in Assad’s chemical weapon programme. Also, UK sold Syria ingredients to produce the nerve agent, sarin, in the 1980s. goo.gl/gSdttm pic.twitter.com/4M4zFrk1eA

DECLASSIFIED. Selection of declassified files on UK’s Iraq 2003 propaganda campaign (especially documents from @NSArchive), govt meetings with oil firms before invasion and forgotten UK covert campaigns to help Baghdad regimes slaughter Kurds in 1960s. goo.gl/cGnKxc pic.twitter.com/YcGwkqfQsC

DECLASSIFIED UK articles/files on Zimbabwe show that UK officials and a military training team turned a blind eye to Mugabe’s massacres of 10,000-20,000 in Matabeleland during 1983-7, also consistently minimising the magnitude of the atrocities. bit.ly/2Sjyxdy pic.twitter.com/vLw9HUjEYc

NATO says it is conducting "around 50" training activities with the Pakistan military - which continues to support the Taliban in Afghanistan, killing NATO troops. I wrote about this in my Secret Affairs book - "allied to the enemy". nato.int/cps/en/natohq/…

Britain has as much legal right to deploy military force in the world as Burkina Faso or Iran and provided only it's authorised by
UN. But to our deeply-embedded and extreme warmongering culture it's seen as UK's God-given right. We are the chosen people. forces.net/node/120057#.X…

J.Hunt is getting even more dangerous. He’s now reportedly saying he will make it “treason” for any UK citizen to support a foreign state or group which the govt (ie, half a dozen people in No.10) decide to go to war with. Simple totalitarianism. shr.gs/qX9m02i

The Guardian has yet to apologise for two major fabrications: that Julian #Assange conspired with Moscow to escape Britain; and that he met Trump crony Paul Manafort plus Russians. The paper's descent quickens with this censorship: thegrayzone.com/2019/07/10/the…

It is stunning @BBCPanorama failed to mention context to Ella Rose's role in our undercover series in 2017 on Britain's pro-Israel lobby. They even tried to use her story but not identify her by name or her past work for the Israeli government! twitter.com/AsaWinstanley/…

@Jonathan_K_Cook and @AsaWinstanley, performing a big public service, have totally demolished the BBC Panorama smear on Corbyn.

DECLASSIFIED UK files show that when Tibetans rebelled against brutal Chinese rule in 1959, killings thousands, and asked UK to help at the UN, the UK govt ensured no UN debate took place and stated: “Tibet is redundant to Britain’s interests”. bit.ly/2NPnFp6 pic.twitter.com/ttsaf5savd

DECLASSIFIED UK files on China show that Thatcher/Bush prioritised “strategic interests” over confronting China on Tiananmen massacre in 1989. “We just had to live with the Chinese and avoid interfering in their internal affairs”, a UK file read. bit.ly/2NPnFp6 pic.twitter.com/N2wIgdPhdY

DECLASSIFIED UK files on China show UK govt contemplated a US nuclear attack on China over Hong Kong in 1961. Officials wanted to “encourage” Beijing to believe the US would engage in “nuclear retaliation” if China undertook hostile action in Hong Kong. bit.ly/2NPnFp6 pic.twitter.com/uKPG1FHkLa
