“Biden yönetiminin Trump'a suikast düzenlemesi gerekiyor. Bir başkan adayının öldürülmesi ABD tarihinde ilk kez yaşanmayacak! Donald Trump'tan, ancak ölürse kurtulabiliriz…” *** Tüyler ürperten bu sözler… Kendisini “Etnik olarak yarı Yahudi yarı İrlandalı” olarak tanımlayan İngiliz gazeteci-yazar David Aaronovitch'e ait! Onun bu dehşetengiz önerisi, başta ABD olmak üzere Batılı devletlerin son tahlilde “demokratik çözümlerden!” ne anladığını da gösteriyor, dışa vuruyor. *** ABD'nin bir milyon iki yüz bin sivili kasten katlettiği gayrı meşru Irak işgalini destekleyen… “İşgalin, Iraklıları özgürleştirdiğini!” savunan Aaronovitch'in, Donald Trump için ileri sürdüğü Kanlı Formül… -Robert Francis Kennedy Suikastı'nı hatırlatıyor! *** 1963'te katledilen Başkan JFK'in kardeşi RFK, 1968'de başkanlık seçimini kazanmasına kesin gözüyle bakılırken… Demokrat Parti'nin adaylığını elde ettikten dakikalar sonra, uğradığı suikast sonucu öldürülmüştü! GİZLİ KURAL David Aaronovitch'in “Trump'tan ancak ölürse/öldürülürse kurtulabiliriz” şeklindeki kanlı önerisi, aslında Derin ABD'nin Gizli Anayasası'na gönderme yapıyor. Yani? Bu “Bir deli bir kuyuya taş attı” hikâyesi değildir! *** 1981-1987 yılları arasında dönemin başkanı Reagan'ın kabinesinde Savunma Bakanı olan Caspar Weinberger…

When Tony Blair became prime minister in May 1997, he had a landslide majority, an approval rating of 93 per cent, and he went on to become Labour’s longest-serving premier. At his last PMQs he got a standing ovation in the chamber of the House of Commons. How things have changed. Nowadays all we hear about is the accusations of lies, hubris and money-making business deals. But is this disillusionment justified? To assess the record of this extraordinary politician, Intelligence Squared staged Tony Blair on Trial. Levelling the charges against him was Tom Bower, the investigative journalist who was about to publish his most explosive book yet: 'Broken Vows: Tony Blair and the Tragedy of Power'. All this is a travesty, according to David Aaronovitch, award-winning columnist on the Times, who defended Tony Blair in our event. As they slugged it out, Bower and Aaronovitch called upon their specially chosen expert witnesses to bolster their case: Professor Margaret Brown, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics...

David Aaronovitch of The Times traces the powerful intellectual influences behind what he sees as one of the most important cultural shifts of the past 40 years: from a society in which accusations of sexual abuse were wrongly ignored to one in which the falsely accused were crushed by a system where the mantra was "victims must be believed". In the second of two programmes, Aaronovitch re-examines the role played by unproven psychoanalytic theories which, from the 1980s, spread from the world of therapists in Canada and the USA to social work, medicine and then to law enforcement in Britain. The programme explores the parallels between the belief in ritual abuse with some of the claims being made today about VIP paedophile rings and group murder. Some of the mistakes of the past - such as the false accusations made against parents in the Orkneys and Rochdale of satanic abuse - have been acknowledged. But, Aaronovitch argues, without a profound understanding of how and why such moral panics arise we are unlikely to avoid similar mistakes in the future. And when such mistakes recur we risk an over-reaction and a return to a culture of denial.

In the first of two programmes, Aaronovitch will examine the role played by unproven psychoanalytic theories which, from the 1980s, spread from the world of therapists in Canada and the USA to social work, medicine and then to law enforcement in Britain. From the NSPCC to academia it was believed that children were being sexually abused in group Satanic rituals, which involved murder and animal sacrifice. The programme will explore how these bizarre ideas took hold, how they were related to mistaken psychotherapeutic practices, and how they resonate still. The programme will look at the influences of four books which played a key role in influencing the intellectual and cultural climate. These are Sybil, Michelle Remembers, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and The Courage to Heal.
