There is a widely shared belief in the drinking rooms of Westminster Village that a certain Chuka Umunna MP (Streatham, Labour) is headed for the top of British politics.
The child of a Nigerian father and Irish mother, Umunna, 35, is already considered the country’s leading ‘black’ politician and has created around himself an aura of excitement that will be all too familiar to our friends across the pond.
Umunna is so often described as the ‘British Obama’ that the lazy racism of the term is overlooked and only the positive insinuations allowed to burn through.
And I suppose Umunna is the British Obama, at least in the sense that he is ‘black’, young and – most importantly of all- a potentially devastating weapon for the Left.
To understand why he holds such value, it is necessary to look deeper into the Liberal mindset, past the velvet-curtain of virtue and into the control room of manipulation behind it. Black politicians are valued by the Left, not in order to redress past wrongs, but because those past wrongs insulate their candidate from the type of criticism traditionally deployed against a prospective political leader.
When (and I think ‘when’ and not ‘if’ is sadly warranted here) Mr Umunna becomes Labour leader, he will be subject to dribbling adoration from both Liberal and supposedly ‘Right-Wing’ media. Even if his policies are antithetical (as they will be) to Conservative positions, the right-leaning papers will feel obliged to go easy on him, handling his staid, unspectacular words as the profoundest wisdom, worthy of only the most qualified, polite repudiation. His lack of experience (which is almost total) won’t even be mentioned.
The public meanwhile will be so electrified by the opportunity to prove their high-minded tolerance (and superiority to those racist ‘working classes’) that they will easily provide the electoral support necessary to take Umunna all the way to No. 10.
This at least is the plan. That is the blueprint that was brought to such dramatic success in the United States 6 short years ago. There is no reason to think the same model wouldn’t work in the even more PC, decidedly socialised island of Albion. If we are to stop it at all therefore, we must stop it now.
This is not, it should be clarified, a condemnation of Mr. Umunna personally. Little has been reported about his character. In many ways, this is precisely the point. Umunna, like Obama in 2005/6, is an outline to be filled in later by those who secretly promote him.
Unlike the Americans were with Obama, we needn’t be caught off guard by these manipulations. When Umunna eventually emerges (probably right after Ed Miliband’s tenure) as Labour Leader, we must demand from him the same moral and intellectual prowess as we do from any other candidate.
D, LDN.

Spot on and chilling. It appears the world has learned nothing with respect to the ‘Obama Project’. I do think your press may be a bit less biased than the U.S. but only towards non British candidates. The BBC will fawn and purr as they always do and you will end up with a show politician who will distract the masses while his henchmen go about their business. At least he’s not a muslim or islamophile, or is he?

No, he’s not a Muslim as far as I know. He might even be mildly Islamophobic seeing as he descends partly from a Christian father in a sectarian warzone between Christianity and Islam. He is nevertheless a weapon for other forces – namely the native elite who care nothing for freedom and aspiration.
Labour has drugged the once-proud working classes of this country with welfare, and they won’t rest until the whole country is dependent. Umunna will be used to win over the youth, as well as ethnic minorities (including Muslims) for this project.

OBAMA’S PUPPETEERS
DON’T BLAME THE MONKEY FOR THE TUNE HE DANCES TO, BLAME THE ORGAN-GRINDERS!
ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI & GEORGE SOROS, TWO OF THE MOST EVIL MEN IN THE WORLD
Evil Spirit of 5 US Presidents – And Biggest Threat to World Peace
There is a man who is more dangerous to mankind than any other living person today. His name is Zbigniew Brzezinski, a CFR-member , Arch-Trilateral Commissionist, Bilderberger. He has been the evil spirit behind 5 US presidents, including Obama – and he is obsessed with but one thought: The US is to dominate a communist one world state.
For that purpose, he sees Eurasia as his grand chessboard, where the battle is to be won. Like any chess player, he starts by occupying the centre of the chessboard, Central Asia.
He wants peace there, friendly arrangements, in particular with China, if possible, so that he can pursue the goal of his obsession, i.e. the purpose of the Trilateral Commission created by him and David Rockefeller: To create a world state by fusing a coming North American Union, at which he is working through the CSIS, the Union for the Mediterranean – and a Far East block which is now being created.
His aim is a communist one world state where Russia, which he hates, is subdued by being split into 3 republics in a loose confederation – and if that is not possible – then ultimately even by WW III. He and David Rockefeller are behind the fusion of world religions for peace in the world state. In stead he collaborates with Al Gore and Gorbachev to promote the environmental Gaia religion.
In the Agenda 21 state people in the technetronic era will be totally controlled and via artificial intelligence (brain chipping) become post-human robots.
He has worked on,
Selling US infrastructure like harbours
Outsourcing US jobs
Giving the Panama Canal to the Chinese
Selling illegal weapons to the Soviet, Iran, Iraq, Libya
He nurtured the Taliban and Al Qaida and ignored Islamic fundamentalism.
Advised by Zbigniew and his son, Ian, Obama is now encircling Russia and China, which has not been so cooperative as wanted by Zbigniew, with anti-ballistic missiles which can also be used to inactivate Russian and Chinese satellites, so as to hinder retaliation after a US first strike against the nuclear arsenals of those countries.
Russia knows and is preparing for the possibility of having to deliver a preemptive attack – according to the chief of the Russian Joint Staff, Yuri Baluyevsky. These considerations are probably being accentuated by the fact that Russia can hardly afford a fresh weapons race.
However, Brzezinski does not believe in Russia’s capacity to strike!
Who is Zbigniew Brzezinski?
Brzezinski was the national security advisor for President Carter from 1977 to 1981. In 1988 he endorsed HW Bush for President and was Co-Chair of the HW Bush national security advisory task force. From 1987 to 1989 he also served on the HW Bush’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Clinton Secretary of State Madeline Albright was a student of Brzezinski’s.
GW Bush Secretary of State, Condi Rice (also a former national security advisor), who studied under Albright’s father, shares many of the same world government views with Brzezinski and Albright.
Zbigniew Brzezinski is an advocate of socialist world government, a goal he has promoted as a member of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to “guide policy makers” and as a speaker at former Soviet Premier and Communist Mikhail Gorbachev’s first World Forum.
This State of the World Forum had interesting partners. Brzezinski is an architect of creating regions of global governance from independent nations to achieve world government. The CSIS issues the North American Integration Monitor, which hopes for a North American Union (NAU).
The proposals for global taxes by Obama have come with the recommendations of Zbigniew Brzezinski to pay for globalization and world government. Obama has proposed a global poverty tax in a US Senate bill.
The Climate Change Control Bill strongly supported by Obama calls for an international governing regime to monitor and regulate carbon dioxide and “carbon footprints” from discovery, to production, to consumption at a cost of $50 trillion globally and at a cost of $8 trillion for US taxpayers, all to be paid for by a global tax, whose monies will be used to establish a world government body.
Obama’s puppeteers,
the Trilateral Commissionists, Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller.
Obama, Brzezinski and Al Gore have worked closely with Communist backed environmental fronts led by Gorbachev (proponent of Earth Charter, author of Manifesto for Earth), to promote the falsehood of significant global climate change due to manmade sources of greenhouse gases to scare the world and the US into paying such a global tax to “save the planet.”
Obama’s longstanding ties with Communist, Marxist and Islamic terror mentors in the US have been well documented in the US and world press. What many do not know but need to know is that Zbigniew Brzezinski represents another one of these Islamic terror, socialistic, world government and Marxist mentors of Obama´s.
Brzezinski openly praises Marxism in his book Between Two Ages published in 1970 – in which he describes man’s behavior and mind to be totally controlled, people having artificial intelligence (brain chipping) in a “technetronic” dictatorship. Incidentally Brzezenski’s father was an ambassador to Russia from Poland during Stalin’s reign and Zbigniew worked to protect and defend some East German intelligence agents of Stasi some of whose former members later worked to enable the 9/11 hijackers and other Islamic terrorists (Hamburg cell of Atta, Alshehhi and Jarrah – hardly correct).
Brzezinski has dual US and Polish citizenship.
Council on Foreign Relations member, Bilderberger, Zbigniew Brzezinski co-founded the Trilateral Commission (TC) with David Rockefeller in 1973 and was its first director.
Brzezinski selected Jimmy Carter as a member while Carter was the governor of Georgia and before Carter became US President. TC is the primary organization managing the goals of globalization to achieve world government via manipulations of economies, politics and religions of nations around the world including the US.
According to Dr. Dennis Cuddy, Brzezinski, as TC director, advocated, in a 1973 memo, establishing means for social control over the world populations by deliberate,
“economic and political destabilization” so that later the debt leash could be used to “strangle a rebellious nation into submission (to global governance).”
The TC, Rice and Brzezenski have actively promoted illegal immigration and non-enforcement of US immigration laws to advance the NAU (North American Union).
They have promoted foreign control of the US by facilitating the sell off of US infrastructure and companies to foreign governments including those from the EU, China, Russia and Islamic terror nations.
Brzezinski, Rice, the TC and their socialist friends have intentionally helped destabilize the US economy by devaluating the US dollar through the sending of US jobs overseas. They are trying to control the US energy economy via the Climate Change Control bills and to prevent US energy independence (which would stop the devaluation of the dollar) by calling for curtailing and drastically controlling production of oil.
Zbigniew Brzezinski’s contrived leash is not limited just to money and capital; it includes controlling populations, and nations by controlling,
their jobs
their immigration
their food
their water
their energy
their politicians and governments
their religions
The world government socialists like Brzezinski and Obama are promoting a “new order of religions,” an amalgamation of religions to unify and control populations and nations.
They are including in their new order umbrella of religions Islamic aspirations for a world caliphate, Communitarianistic and New Age beliefs, the Gaia (“mother” Earth) religion of environmentalists exploited by the Communists, by Al Gore (the tree hugger) and by those who worship the created rather than the creator.
Brzezinski worked with Republican globalists like Kissinger and US Senator Henry Bellmon (OK) to give the Panama Canal away ultimately for Communist Chinese control (Carter-Torrijos Treaties). Under Carter, Brzezinski was responsible for the severing of direct US recognition of Taiwan as an independent nation and recognizing only Communist China.
As soon as Carter became President Brzezinski started to illegally manipulate the export control list to enable advanced US computer, military (guidance systems), energy (nuclear; coal, oil shale, tar sands conversion and synthetic fuels) technologies to be transferred and sold by US companies (such as Control Data, GE and Union Carbide) to the Soviet Union.
On February 2, 1979, Brzezinski wrote a memo to Carter falsely claiming that Islamic fundamentalism was not an imminent threat and would not gain prominence in the Middle East.
Brzezinski was the architect of the formation of US CIA and Saudi training and funding for the Afghan mujaheddin network, some of which would later form the Taliban and would shelter Al Qaeda terrorists camps.
Brzezinski, along with Clinton’s NSC advisor Anthony Lake, John McCain, Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich, was a proponent of using the Saudis and CIA to directly fund the AlQaeda and Iranian arming and training in and outside the US of Islamic terrorists from Albania, Kosovo and Bosnia to kick out the Serbs and Croats.
Some of these same terrorists became the 9/11 hijackers?? Carter and Bzezinski are and have been “diplomats at large” along with Boren for Hamas terrorists in the Middle East and US as reflected in Obama’s pro-Islamic foreign policies.
Zeit Kritiker: Brzezinski is Obama’s puppeteer
Even during the tenure of G.W. Bush, Brzezinski took over key sectors of the U.S. government.
Since then, the danger of a confrontation between the United States with Russia, China, Sudan, Pakistan and more recently with Iran and Yemen has highly increased. The aggression of the U.S. toward Iran, ultimately aims at a confrontation with Russia and China.
“The Grand Chessboard” dissipates any doubt: The US is to dominate all Eurasia. Then American high finance would in effect be in control of 70 percent of the oil and gas reserves – in order to secure American primacy for a long time. With Obama as a puppet of the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller see this goal within reach.
Moscow is well aware of this situation, the fear of Brzezinski’s finger on the nuclear button does not leave Russia inactive: The Chief of the Russian General Staff, Yury Baluyevsky announced in January 2008,
“Russia would revise its nuclear doctrine, so that a nuclear first strike in certain situations would be possible.”
(WG Tarpley, Barack Obama – How a U.S. President is Made p. 166).
Brzezinski and his followers are so obsessed with America as the sole superpower that they are willing to take the risk of World War III. That should be clear to everyone.
Brzezinski – A Geostrategy for Eurasia
Foreign Affairs
September/October 1997
A power that dominated Eurasia would exercise decisive influence over two of the world’s three most economically productive regions.
A glance at the map also suggests that a country dominant in Eurasia would almost automatically control the Middle East and Africa. With Eurasia now serving as the decisive geopolitical chessboard.
Brzezinski wants understanding with China – and wants to weaken Russia by splitting her into 3 republics.
Any expansion of Europe’s political scope is automatically an expansion of U.S. influence. America must be careful not to alienate Turkey. America should use its influence in Europe to encourage Turkey’s eventual admission to the EU.
In addition, it is not in America’s interest to perpetuate U.S.-Iranian hostility.
The core of the new transcontinental security framework could be a standing committee composed of the major Eurasian powers, with America, Europe, China, Japan, a confederated Russia, and India collectively addressing critical issues for Eurasia’s stability.
Comment: This is the idea of the Trilateral Commission founded by Brzezinski and David Rockefeller
Brzezinski’s legacy
Brzezinski told Polish Radio (26 Jan. 2009) that there are no other options than aggression when dealing with Moscow, speaking of the anti-missile shield.
Global Research
3 February 2010
With or without Brzezinski’s advice, Obama is now provoking both Russia, China and Iran by sale of sophisticated ground-to-air missiles to Poland, various weaponry for Taiwan and anti-missile defense systems to 4 Gulf States.
A fresh provocation against Russia was reported on 5 February by the EUObserver: The US will set up its anti missile shield (against Iran?) in Romania and in the Black Sea.
Global Res.
5 Febr. 2010
These same Army Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) systems are going to be deployed in Taiwan as the U.S. continues its military encirclement of China. U.S. PAC-3 systems have already been deployed in Japan and South Korea. News that the U.S. is about to deploy a PAC-3 missile battery in Poland led Russia’s ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, to recently state: “Do they really think that we will calmly watch the location of a rocket system, at a distance of 60 km from Kaliningrad?”
The official authorization of Patriot transfers to Taiwan – the missiles are produced by Raytheon Company headquartered in Massachusetts, whose former vice president of Government Operations and Strategy William Lynn is now Obama’s Deputy Secretary of Defense – resulted in China’s vice foreign minister, He Yafei, saying
“We believe this move endangers China’s national security.”
The strategy is clear. Surround Russia and China with mobile “missile defense” systems whose job is to take out their retaliatory capability after a U.S. first-strike against their nuclear weapons.
All this means one thing – an extended arms race with Russia and China which will mean huge profits for the weapons industry.
And Brzezinski?
Global Res.
15 Aug. 2008
Obama’s foreign policy team in addition to father Zbigniew Brzezinski, includes Brzezinski’s son, Ian Brzezinski, current US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for European and NATO Affairs.
Ian Brzezinski is a devout backer of US missile defense policy, as well as Kosovo independence and NATO expansion into Ukraine and Georgia.
Brzezinski’s big idea is the necessity for the USA to dominate the world.
He will do so by means of his child, the Trilateral Commission’s, aim, i.e. fusioning a North American Union, which he is creating through the CSIS, the Union for the Mediterranean and an East Asian bloc, which is being constructed.
US domination of Eurasia is a must. Therefore, US is now occupying the centre of the chessboard, Central Asia – at any cost, even World War III. And he might have it soon in case Russia and China are unable to participate in a new armament race.
He underestimates Russia as a nuclear power capable of delivering a first strike catastrophically. Unauthorized Obama biographer, Webster Tarpley, says on this video that Brzezinski will spare Iran and use the US forces in a war against Russia!!
Here Tarpley tells about Brzezinski admitting on French TV, that he lured the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan.
Islamic fundamentalism as a threat to the world:
“Nonsense” says Brzezinski.
He is willing to use any means to provoke war with Russia, which he hates.
THE POWER ELITE AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
PART 1
By Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D.
June 27, 2011
NewsWithViews.com
Power Elite (PE) agent Lord Herbert Samuel (Jew) was one of the first to refer to the establishment of a “new world order” (House of Lords, May 16 and August 7, 1918). As a member of the Milner Group that controlled British foreign affairs from the beginning of the 20th century until WWII, Samuel in 1921 appointed Hajj Amin al-Husseini as Mufti and head political administrator of Arab Palestine. Lord Alfred Milner, who was in charge of executing PE member Cecil Rhodes’ secret “scheme to take the government of the whole world,” on June 27, 1923 in the House of Lords said regarding Palestine that there “must always remain not an Arab country or a Jewish country, but… an international country in which all the world has a special interest—I think some Mandatory Power will always be required.”
While al-Husseini was in Palestine, Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Egypt in 1928, and it has been from this organization that radical Islamic groups such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and al Qaeda have come (Mark Hosenball and Michael Isikoff of Newsweek have reported connections between al Qaeda and MB members Mamoun Darkazanli and Youssef Nada). Former CIA agent Robert Baer in Sleeping With the Devil explained how the U.S. “made common cause with the [Muslim] Brothers” and used them “to do our dirty work in Yemen, Afghanistan and plenty of other places.”
In the 1930s, the MB supported Adolph Hitler (distributing his Mein Kampf), and by 1936 with only 800 members began to oppose British rule in Egypt. By 1938, the MB’s membership had grown to 200,000, and by the late 1940s to at least a half million.
In 1933, when Adolph Hitler came to power in Germany, Young Egypt (Green Shirts) was also founded in October of that year by Ahmed Hussein who had been greatly influenced by al-Husseini. Young Egypt supported Hitler and the Nazis, and one of its early members was Anwar Sadat who helped the Nazis during WWII. In a September 18, 1953 letter to the Egyptian news daily Al Mussauar, he expressed his admiration for Hitler.
During WWII, President Roosevelt was no real friend of the Jews. In Secretary of State Edward Stettinius’ papers, he wrote that during FDR’s meeting with Stalin at Yalta (February 4-11, 1945), Stalin asked FDR if he intended to make any concessions to King Saud of Saudi Arabia. And then Stettinius wrote:
“The President replied that there was only one concession he thought he might offer, and that was to give him the 6 million Jews in the United States.”
The outrageousness of this remark by FDR is perhaps rivaled only by the hypocrisy of his “Day of Infamy” speech regarding the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, because two weeks earlier (Nov. 25) he had talked with Secretary of War Henry Stimson about how they “should maneuver them [Japan] into the position of firing the first shot”!
This quote comes from the diary of Stimson, who was a Council on Foreign Relations member as well as the Skull & Bones member who initiated George H.W. Bush into the same Yale University secret society.
After WWII, Gamal Abdel Nasser (a leader of Young Egypt) led the July 1952 coup against the monarchy in Egypt, becoming president in 1956. At first, the CIA indirectly supported Nasser. In The Game of Nations, CIA agent (in Egypt) Miles Copeland revealed the agency subcontracted more than one hundred Nazi specialists in security and interrogation techniques to help Nasser. However, as Nasser grew stronger, CIA director Allen Dulles saw him as a threat who could ally Arabs and Muslims far beyond Egyptian national boundaries. Copeland said Dulles told him,
“If that Colonel [Nasser] of yours pushes us too far, we will break him in half.”
The MB had originally supported Nasser, and the 1952 revolt, but they became disenchanted with him when it became apparent he would not establish an Islamic state. They were blamed for an assassination attempt on him in 1954, and according to Copeland, interrogations of MB members after the attempt revealed they were merely a “guild” that fulfilled the goals of western interests:
“Nor was that all. Sound beatings of the Muslim Brotherhood organizers who had been arrested revealed that the organization had been thoroughly penetrated, at the top, by the British, American, French and Soviet intelligence services, any one of which could either make active use of it or blow it up, whichever best suited its purposes.”
On the book jacket for Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam (2005) by Robert Dreyfuss, one reads:
“Among the hidden stories of U.S. collusion with radical Islam that Dreyfuss reveals here are President Eisenhower’s 1953 Oval Office meeting with a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the United States’ later alliance with that group and their Saudi patrons against Egypt’s President Nasser. Dreyfuss meticulously documents the CIA’s funding of the Iranian ayatollahs in the coup d’etat that restored Iran’s shah to power, the United States’ support for Saudi Arabia’s efforts to create a worldwide Islamic bloc as an antidote to Arab nationalism, and the longstanding ties between Islamic fundamentalists and the leading banks of the West. With clarity and rigor, Dreyfuss also chronicles how the United States looked the other way when Israel’s secret service supported the creation of the radical Palestinian group Hamas…. Devil’s Game reveals a history of double-dealing and cynical exploitation that continues to this day—as in Iraq, where the United States is backing radical Islamists, allied with Iran’s clerics, who have surfaced as the dominant force in the post-Saddam Hussein Iraqi government.”
The Saudis were opposed to Nasser and became the primary supporters of the MB on the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. According to author Martin Lee in Razor Magazine (2004), MB members were
“employed as teachers and imams in Saudi mosques, schools and government agencies, where they promoted the extremist doctrine of Sayyid Qutb, the Brotherhood’s leading scribe and theorist… [who] provided a Koranic justification for violence… [against] corrupting Western influences…. One of [Osama] bin Laden’s instructors in religious studies was… the exiled brother of Sayyid Qutb, who taught classes on the imperatives and nuances of Islamic jihad…. Muslim Brotherhood veterans have played a prominent role during every phase of bin Laden’s terrorist odyssey.
As a college student he was mentored by Abdullah Azzam, a Palestinian [Muslim] Brother…. Bin Laden transferred his base of operations to the Sudan in 1991. For the next five years, bin Laden and his inner circle were holed up in Khartoum courtesy of Sheikh Hassan al Turabi, the Sorbonne-educated head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Sudanese branch…. Bin Laden [went] back to Afghanistan in 1996…. [Al Qaeda member] Khalid Sheikh Mohammed… self-described mastermind of the 9/11 operation… cut his teeth on the Kuwaiti chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
