    Intelligence cabal infiltrated UK civil service thanks to “centrally placed mole”

    Ex-MI6 chief Richard Dearlove pitched espionage operations targeting civil service and campaign groups

    Fake Democratic Party fronts run by CIA veterans were proposed to infiltrate pro-Remain groups

    Cabal sought to spy on and disrupt Prime Minister’s top Brexit negotiator

    Shadowy billionaires funded effort in total secret

    Dearlove claimed credit for influencing government policy on Huawei

    Cabal now seeking to remove Boris Johnson

    These efforts could amount to charges of TREASON 

Part 4 - With Johnson in Whitehall, the cabal aims to guide him, destroy all in his way
 
Fast forward to early June 2019. May was finally vanquished and a Conservative leadership election was underway. That month, Prins dispatched a set of proposals to Jacob Rees-Mogg, a prominent Brexiteer, which provided a clear blueprint for Johnson’s first moves in office.

Prins advocated proroguing the House of Commons “to prevent Bercow and the addled Parliament from blocking clean exit on 31 October,” identifying which MPs opposed a hard Brexit in order to deselect them and parachute supportive candidates into their constituencies. He further advised defenestrating “the May cell, especially [Mark] Sedwill/Robbins etc and ALL [emphasis in original] civil servants who conducted the May negotiations.” 

A Downing Street war on the civil service began almost immediately with Johnson’s election as Prime Minister in July 2019. And a year later, Sedwill was finally shown the door after unending negative briefings to the press.

Behind the scenes, the cabal began organizing to undermine, discredit and intimidate anyone standing in the way of Johnson’s agenda. Prins suggested to Dearlove that he procure “MI5 intel on key Remainiac agitprop agents,” such as Jolyon Maugham, a barrister who fought several successful legal challenges related to Brexit, including “their financials etc to put the frighteners on them.

On August 28th, parliament was duly prorogued, an act later found to be unlawful by the Supreme Court. On September 3rd, the whip was withdrawn from 21 Conservative MPs who voted in support of a motion to delay withdrawal from the European Union until January 31st the next year, and they were banned for standing for reelection, all replaced by hardcore Brexiteers.

The cabal sought to influence Johnson’s thinking in other ways as well. During the leadership campaign, for example, Dearlove described himself as “preoccupied” with “feeding briefings on national security to Boris.” Praising his student as “quick and able” and “an excellent classical scholar,” he said he felt “reasonably confident” he would succeed in convincing Johnson’s team to block Huawei’s participation in Britain’s 5G network. The former MI6 chief has long-promulgated conspiracy theories that the Chinese tech giant functions as a global spying network for Communist Party of China.

With the proper team around him he will do well…we need a leader who has the charisma and ability to see off [Jeremy] Corbyn and accommodate the [Nigel] Farage threat. There is no alternative [emphasis added] when you look at the issue from this angle,” Dearlove said of Johnson. 

The spook’s confidence was well-founded. Not long after taking office, Johnson’s government postponed making any decision on Huawei’s involvement, and in July 2020 vowed to remove it entirely from the country’s 5G networks by 2027.

Once Michael Gove, a top Tory powerbroker now serving as Minister for Levelling, and Oliver Lewis, a key advisor to Johnson on Brexit, were also ensconced in Downing Street, Prins began providing them with regular briefings and guidance. Farr co-authored one such briefing on how Johnson could ensure a hard withdrawal that would not be scuppered by elected lawmakers or the civil service. In a late September dispatch, he praised the premier’s “Nelsonian nerves and sang froid.

Israel Guilty Of SYSTEMATIC Sexual Violence Against Palestinians! – U.N. Confirms

The Jimmy Dore Show   A recent UN report titled "More Than a Human Can Bear" details systematic sexual and gender-based violence committed by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians since October 7. The report documents harrowing accounts of abuse, including rape, torture, and sexual humiliation of detainees—both men and women—by Israeli military and prison personnel. As Jimmy Dore points out, despite extensive evidence and testimonies, U.S. media and political figures have largely ignored or downplayed these findings, while continuing to repeat debunked claims about Hamas.
