0710 Hrs GMT London Saturday 27 June 2009: KHOODEELAAR! rebuts the latest Crossrail scam lies by another tout calling itself ‘stratfordman’ posted on Newcastle JOURNAL web site 0710 Hrs GMT London Saturday 27 June 2009: KHOODEELAAR! rebuts the latest Crossrail scam lies by another tout calling itself ‘stratfordman’ posted on Newcastle JOURNAL web site From: Muhammad Haque The Organiser The Khoodeelaar! campaign against Crossrail and in defence of inner city East End of London community 0630 Hrs GMT London Saturday 27 June 2009 Who are you ‘stratfordman’? Are you a real human being who also lives in the Stratford area of Newham borough in East London? Or are you one of the predictably activated band of zombified self-servers acting as touts for Big Business agenda, paid and or rewarded in the name of the public via the Crossrail scam at the expense of the people in Newham? As you do not have the basic honesty to give your name or other details that are necessary to establish your motive, your interest and your locus, we have to go by the contents of the confusion that you repeat. The term ‘repeat’ here is intended to refer to the same lies that others of your ilk have been employed to peddle in the past five years and 6 months. That is the length of the Khoodeelaar! Campaign, so far. Some of those others of your ilk have been identified as being paid via Crossrail from the public purse to act as propagandists for Big Business. Those peddlers and touts are also to be found as posing as ‘local councillors’ on several London councils. By all standards of audit and accoy6nabuiloity, they have been behaving dishonestly. They have been misleading the people in the boroughs in whose name they pose as councillors without declaring the cash and other benefits they get given for lying to the people. It is only a matter of time before these touts are exposed for their corrupt conduct in deceiving the people in the London boroughs. Look at Greenwich London Borough Council Crossrail-scam-inviting controlling clique and see what they have been up to. Even the Tories are having to make a song and dance about the outrageously anti-democratic behaviour of the CrossRail scam peddling clique on Greenwich Council. That Council’s controlling Crossrail-peddling clique wrongly and prejudicially ousted of one of their former colleagues as a councillor. His ‘crime’ was that he draw attention to the damaging impact of Crossrail involvement on his local community in Greenwich. Khoodeelaar! is of course vindicated by the evidence of today. As it has been vindicated at every crucial and material stage throughout the past 5 years and 6 months by the evidence established at each point and at each stage of the campaign by the exposure and the unravelling of the fantasy case that had been fabricated for CrossRail scam by the couriers of Big Business fraud on the UK public. The argument and the evidential points against Crossrail that a former Editor [as in overall Editor, as opposed to being a sectional head in the organisation] of the London EVENING STANDARD has made in his column on 28 April 2009 is not a ‘defeatist’ one. Let us dispose of the inappropriate use of the term and the concept ‘defeatist’. The term and the concept ‘defeatist’ is only appropriate if it is a reference to a parochial engagement. Look up the phrase parochial engagement if you are unable to follow our rebuttal here. Simon Jenkins and Khoodeelaar! are not making the argument for the scrapping of CrossRail for any parochial reasons. At no point have Simon Jenkins and Khoodeelaar! communicated to one another. The arguments against Crossrail that they have BOTH put forward are solely based on their own, respective research, investigation and observation. And on their objective evaluation of all relevant evidence in the appropriate context. We do not base our analysis on any parochial premiss. We go by the cold reality of actual evidence. And the evidence daily shows that the UK economy cannot afford to waste public money. Especially where that money at 2009 prices is anywhere between the £16 Billion the peddlers of Crossrail say it will cost and the likelihood by historic trends and indices and criteria to go up to anywhere approaching or approximating to double that amount. In further particular, where that same money is badly needed IN LONDON by the sinking tube network. By ALL measurements and yardsticks, the EXISTING tube network in London is by far the more important London transport priority. Crossrail is the bizarre element in the picture. Not Khoodeelaar! We have shown, dating back to the start of our campaign in January 2004 that the UK economy was not capable of supporting a wasteful scam like CrossRail. It has taken the ‘bankers’ and others in the CrossRail scam-peddling touting trade operated by Big Business several years to be even able to see that the City of London and Canary Wharf were building castles in the sand. That Canary Wharf is about to go bust again is contained in a detailed report published in the London EVENING STANDARD. Earlier this month. Look that up. That economic success has to be based on sustainable behaviour. That wanton, gratuitous indulgence in debt-generation was not regeneration. That throwing £Billions of public money into a scam that is the handiwork of Bechtel corporation of the USA is not the same thing as prudent management of public finance and public sector spending. That Gordon Brown, who is now universally mocked on the archived footage of his ridiculously put on and mechanical vocal noise about prudence, cannot be trusted whether it comes to the Government role in distinguishing between genuine public sector and the mess that Brown has created. The current disagreement between Bank of England governor Mervin King and Alistair Darling is not mainly an extension of a David Cameron strategy of using the Bank of England as a tool to undermine Gordon Brown. It is evidence of what Khoodeelaar! has said to Brown and Darling for years since we began to address them in February 2004 on the foolishness of the Crossrail scam. Every indicator on economic performance that we have listed in our advice to Brown and Darling has been vindicated and proven to have been accurate and central We are saying that public resources must be treated with respect and handled responsibly. This not bizarre. This is not short sighted. This is not uneconomic. The parochial argument is seen in the peddling piece that you are touting. Like touts before you, you have constructed a zealous, fanatical, and irrational scenario to take attention away from the reality and carry on with the fantasy so long as that is required before the £Billions of public money are collected by assortment of Big Business partners in the Crossrail scam. The ONLY positive aspect of CrossRail is the craving and the attendant glee exhibited in the behaviour of greedy short-term contractors and even shorter term property speculators. They don’t care about the economy. They don’t care about the environment. They most certainly do not care about the impact on society of waste of public money and adding of debts. For them. Society does not exist! Just as you do not recognise the real East End of London. What part of Whitechapel have you been to of late that is crying out economically to be linked to Canary Wharf? Perhaps you have attended another publicity do staged at the Whitechapel IDIOT store, owned by Tower Hamlets Council that has been a peddler of Crossrail? If you have actually walked on the Whitechapel tube station side of the Whitechapel Road, you could not have missed the real local economy at work. That economy is not part of Canary Wharf. That is DESPITE Canary Wharf. You appear to question the concept of Whitechapel as ‘home’. Why? For a start, Khoodeelaar! has NEVER used the term ‘home’ as an exclusive concept in the campaign against Crossrail. Secondly, perhaps you are referring racistly to the diverse community that is visible on Whitechapel Road and therefore you are insinuating that that is somehow below the level of ‘the right intellectual competence’ required if we are to be taken seriously? If you are then you are even more pathetic and sad than some of the officially condemned racists groups and racist individuals who have been decried by Brown et al recently following the local and European elections at the start of this month. We have published evidence of the fact that our analysis of the UK economy has been echoed consistently by the OECD, the UNO and by other internationally recognised sources. In fact the weekly ECONOMIDST has now published two serious pieces showing that our analysis has been spot on. It has not named us but it has in its own words reiterated the analyses that we have been publishing and originating for 5 years and 6 months now. Tony Travers, provided a platform under dubious ‘Greater London Group’ labelling at the London School of Economies and Political science [=’LSE’, University of London], performing a jobbing academic extension role for the Big Business CrossRail scam peddling propaganda onslaught for three years, was frequently given space on the London EVENING STANDARD to carry out that job. Even Travers has now turned. He has changed tune. And is saying the very same thing that Khoodeelaar! has consistently said for 5 years and 6 months. That Crossrail is undermining the London underground network and its investment needs. And on that count, Crossrail is untenable. Rod Eddington, a British Airways careerist for years, had been appointed by Gordon Brown while UK finance Minister, to take a long and extensive look at the future of railways in the UK. Eddington reported in December 2005. His report, erratically published by the UK Department for Transport [=’DfT’] is titled the ‘Eddington Transport Study http://www.dft.gov.uk/about/strategy/transportstrategy/eddingtonstudy Eddington refused to endorse Crossrail. In fact, as pointed out on 5 October 2007 by Channel 4 News, Eddington had advised Gordon Brown AGAINST funding Crossrail. In the days leading up to the much vaunted Eddington Study report, the London Guardian media organisation led a miniature plug for Crossrail. That was done as part of the Guardian’s entente with Ken Livingstone’s career plan. The Guardian must have seen an advance copy of the Eddington Study. On that basis but dishonestly withholding that information from readers, the Guardian published a speculative piece about what the Eddington report was going to say about Crossrail. The Guardian condemned Eddington in the hours before the actual official publication of the report. But such was the reach of the Big Business Crossrail lobby within the BBC that the BBC London news unit’s ‘transport reporter’ at the time, Andrew Winstanley filed a most false and untruthful pro-Crossrail item broadcast live on the lunch-time edition of London News on BBC TV. Winstanley repeatedly claimed to have been told by Eddington that if Crossrail was not backed by the UK Government of the day then the entire London economy would come crashing down. Or words to that effect. That was in four years ago! That was a lie. As the USA business media group FORBES said on the day of the Eddington report’s publication, Eddington had NOT endorsed London CrossRail. What Winstanley was whining for was very much what the stratfordman is lying for. Between Winstanley and Stratfordman, there is not an iota of sense. Let alone truthfulness. Neither has been to East London., neither has seen the reality of what the London economy in the London boroughs are like. In inner London boroughs are like. How poverty is created by Council policy. How poverty is kept up by local Councils. How falling schools make sure that school leavers in the majority leave school with no qualification or claim to compete for jobs … They are condemned to degeneration., In Stratford and in Whitechapel and in polar and in hackney and in Greenwich. Khoodeelaar! articulates the universally valid and overdue demand for the addressing of all these issues. That is why nameless, faceless barking dogs for Big Business are deployed from time to time to mislead the irregular visitor or reader. The long time observers know that Big Business Crossrail scam peddlers take Khoodeelaar! very seriously. That is why they had made elaborate plans to mount the ONLY media hype and propaganda event after the formal rubber stamping of the CrossRail Bill in July 2008. They staged it in Brick Lane. With a load of patsies paid via ethnicity linked surrogate outfits to peddle the lie that Crossrail hole would not be mounted on Brick Lane. That was NOT in the Crossrail Bill. But they said it to make sure that KHOODEELAAR! defence of Brick Lane would not be gaining new support against Crossrail. If they had thought Khoodeelaar! campaign bizarre the would never bother to go to those lengths top appear to be ‘helping’; Brick Lane. That they did go to those lengths serves to show a fraction of the impact that Khoodeelaar! campaigning has been having on the specific programme of legislation and Government programme on this matter. 0710 Hrs GMT London Saturday 27 June 2009: KHOODEELAAR! rebuts the latest Crossrail scam lies by another tout calling itself ‘stratfordman’ posted on Newcastle JOURNAL web site From: Muhammad Haque The Organiser The Khoodeelaar! campaign against Crossrail and in defence of inner city East End of London community 0630 Hrs GMT London Saturday 27 June 2009 Who are you ‘stratfordman’?

How falling schools make sure that school leavers in the majority leave school with no qualification or claim to compete for jobs … They are condemned to degeneration., In Stratford and in Whitechapel and in polar and in hackney and in Greenwich. Khoodeelaar! articulates the universally valid and overdue demand for the addressing of all these issues. That is why nameless, faceless barking dogs for Big Business are deployed from time to time to mislead the irregular visitor or reader. The long time observers know that Big Business Crossrail scam peddlers take Khoodeelaar! very seriously. That is why they had made elaborate plans to mount the ONLY media hype and propaganda event after the formal rubber stamping of the CrossRail Bill in July 2008. They staged it in Brick Lane. With a load of patsies paid via ethnicity linked surrogate outfits to peddle the lie that Crossrail hole would not be mounted on Brick Lane. That was NOT in the Crossrail Bill. But they said it to make sure that KHOODEELAAR! defence of Brick Lane would not be gaining new support against Crossrail. If they had thought Khoodeelaar! campaign bizarre the would never bother to go to those lengths top appear to be ‘helping’; Brick Lane. That they did go to those lengths serves to show a fraction of the impact that Khoodeelaar! campaigning has been having on the specific programme of legislation and Government programme on this matter.
