What to say? It's hard to find the words. A summary should help. I'll try and be concise.
Rachel McFayden (webname: Rachel North) tells us she began blogging about her experiences following the London bombings of 7th July 2005. Her connection to it? As she likes to tell us, she is a victim/survivor.
Somehow she became a mainstream media favorite and has been on many UK news programs, coming across as a sort of acceptable {self-implanted?} thorn in the buttocks of Lizzies government. Someone who seems to think she has a higher authority, a mandate if you will, to speak about issues of 7-7. A championing voice to drown out any others on the matter.
The 7/7 stuff on Rachel’s blog is pro-government-narrative and she's happy to stay within the box. The ‘official’ Swiss cheese fairy tale of 7-7 does not for example, address official reports that one of the trains the bombers were supposed to have caught that day, was actually cancelled. such matters simply doesn't disturb her. But Raise such questions and you'll get the phantom flan flinging 'conspiraloon' slur-pie lobbed in your direction.
If unlike her many acolyte's your not grabbed by Rachelmania, devotees who let out a scream on perusal of every keystroke, you might realise that the nature of the things she says is terse, offensive and empty. If you don't fawn, you will soon be subject to a shrill attack. Her blog isn’t a place to obtain 7-7 information or provide a place where 7-7 issues can be discussed in a genuinely sincere manner.
This brings me to the current situation. A poster using the webname 'fjl' has apparently been going around McFayden's blog incurring the wrath of Rachel. fjl has also been on other 7-7 related sites, such as Bridget Dunnes, and to paraphrase Bridget, she said, fjl couldn't be described as being part of the '7-7 truth' contingent.
So even non-conspiraloon fjl, to use Rachelspeak, also makes Rachel tumble off her precariously-perched-upon rails. When this happens, you can sit back and watch Rachel rabbit on and on and on and on about how we shouldn't say such things, that so many bad things have been said against her, that we should feel sorry for her when a poster says something not to her liking. You either see the roar of Rachel or see the well worn delete key being employed again.
Now it seems like Rachel has managed to get fjl tangled in some legal process passed upon fjl, I would guess as a result of Rachel being as usual over sensitive to her and winging to the authorities that someone is arguing agaisnt her. Rachel says she was harassed by fjl for 400 days. So EVERY DAY for 400 days, fjl harassed Rachel? Yeah right. Such flights of fancy are characteristic of Rachel. I'd hazard a guess that Rachel is trying to be sneaky, her words actually meaning 400 days have passed since she and fjl had first contact, up until the 25th May when her netiquette shouted out the 400 claim, and during that time span the supposed harassment occurred.
Now McFayden, with the help of her blinkered hawks in the blogging fraternity, are going to extraordinary lengths to hound fjl, making her seem like public enemy number one.
A classical western political methodology is being employed by these pack dogs, closely paralleling what the tyrants in D.C. and London have done for years...
A 'history' is dragged up to yield discreditation, true to form of one of Blair and Campbell’s favourite tactics, briefing or spinning against their target. Demonization, is also utilised. As is a warning of danger and even claims of insanity is issued. Fear is both created and manipulated.
And then we have the auxiliary double standard, calling foul at when fjl is alleged to have outed McFayden as a rape victim. Exactly how fjl knew this, we are not informed.
This Blairish behaviour comes from what you may think of as being an unlikely source... the blog called Blairwatch. But they do have a track record of shape-shifting into the guise of the demon they disingenuously claim to oppose.
But the McFayden apostles of Rachel go further, putting ‘WANTED’ posters up and encouraging people to call the police. THIS IS DISGUSTING behaviour. You may also have spotted the snide near subliminal comments implying she looks old and is overweight - the police said that did they? Yeah right, I’m sure they did. Then there’s the ‘unusual squinting eye’, the grey hair, the imagery of a bag-lady, a homeless loner who has to seek free public based internet connections. Aaaah Rachel, I congratulate you for revelation of your ‘style’ and you have the audacity to say fjl “brings blogging into disrepute”.
It is deeply disturbing that bloggers are initiating a witch hunt against fjl. It stinks of an 18th Century witch hunt. You can sense the shark feeding frenzy about to erupt. Those chillingly impassioned words: "yessss!... Your gonna die..... Yessss!" spoken by the force-serving cameraman when British troops said when beating those Iraqi kids to a pulp, transpose themselves effortlessly to this situation.
It is deeply repugnant that the British blogging fraternity is doing this. Just what aneurism happened here? Many people who claim to want to extend the middle finger to the increasingly authoritarian government are engaging in this appalling hunt, taking on the persona of a mini-establishment trying to destroy the individual.
You have gone past the point of no return. You will slip further down this putrid path you have embarked upon.
Hypocrites!
