Here in the UK we are in the midst of  the new McCarthyism period, a period where anyone who does not agree with the state or official line/version of events is open to be castigated by officials - petty or grand, of the state machinery and their many Quangos, this allows anyone - any member of the public to do the same, they too can castigate, insult, accuse and berate any organization or individual purely because they do not agree what they say or do - and suffer little or no consequence to their actions, yet their actions ruin peoples lives

McCarthyism did exactly the same thing, the focus of McCarthyism was communists:-

Known as McCarthyism, the paranoid hunt for infiltrators was notoriously difficult on writers and entertainers, many of whom were labeled communist sympathizers and were unable to continue working. Some had their passports taken away, while others were jailed for refusing to give the names of other communists. The trials, which were well publicized, could often destroy a career with a single unsubstantiated accusation. Among those well-known artists accused of communist sympathies or called before the committee were Dashiell Hammett, Waldo Salt, Lillian Hellman, Lena Horne, Paul Robeson, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Charlie Chaplin and Group Theatre members Clifford Odets, Elia Kazan, and Stella Adler.In all, three hundred and twenty artists were blacklisted, and for many of them this meant the end of exceptional and promising careers.

During this time there were few in the press willing to stand up against McCarthy and the anti-Communist machine. Among those few were comedian Mort Sahl, and journalist Edward R. Murrow,whose strong criticisms of McCarthy are often cited as playing an important role in his eventual removal from power. By 1954, the fervor had died down and many actors and writers were able to return to work.Though relatively short, these proceedings remain one of the most shameful moments in modern U.S. history.

Today's McCarthyism does not have communists as it's focus, today's focus is those people who disagree with multicultural concepts being imposed upon their society and the way they live their lives, those people who see a rampant Islam growing ever stronger in the UK and the declared aims of Islam in the UK becoming more and more of a reality.

During the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany people were encouraged to "name the Jew", anyone - even children, could accuse somebody of being Jewish, that person was quickly removed and probably died in a concentration camp - once accused there was no way back.

We now with the new McCarthyism have a very similar situation in the UK, if somebody calls another person racist - the accused is presumed to be racist - it is accepted by all others, the accused cannot prove his or her innocence, this is especially true in the employment area.

People are accused of being Islamophobic if they do not agree with the imposition of Muslims and their cultural beliefs upon them or their society. Once again it is a guilty until proven innocent scenario - and you cannot prove your innocence.

Just as in the time of McCarthyism, to be labeled a communist was a certain track to your life being turned upside down and your professional life ruined - so it is in the UK if you are labeled racist, Islamophobic, supremist , extremist, English, nationalist and many other such descriptions. Your job, your security, your home could easily disappear, you could also be imprisoned.

Make no mistake this situation in the UK is government led, if you need proof - here it is.

The EDL are to demonstrate in Blackburn on the 28th August this year - the march has been banned, why has it been banned, this is because the powers that be felt that such a march may trigger the violence that occurred in Bradford in 2001



From the Guardian

The home secretary, Theresa May, today authorised a ban on a planned march by far-right group the English Defence League (EDL), due to take place in Bradford later this month.

The blanket ban prevents any marches in the city over the August bank holiday weekend, when the EDL had said it was planning to stage a demonstration members described as "the big one".

The Home Office said: "Having carefully balanced rights to protest against the need to ensure local communities and property are protected, the home secretary gave her consent to a Bradford council order banning any marches in thecity over the bank holiday weekend.

"West Yorkshire police are committed to using their powers to ensure communities and property are protected, and we encourage all local people to work with the police to ensure community cohesion is not undermined by public disorder." 

I for one am certain that neither the Guardian or any member of the government, either central or local, or any member of the MSM know all of the people that make up the EDL, yet it those very people that will gladly and publicly proclaim the EDL to be a fascist organization.

Any group who demonstrates against the prevailing state mindset will be labeled this way.

The UAF are a group that supports the new McCarthyism, it is well known and documented that they are the prime instigators of violence towards the EDL or any other protesting group that the UAF deem to be  "fascist or racist",  surprisingly enough this group, the UAF never seem to be investigated by the Media, I wonder why that is? whereas groups or individuals such as the EDL are swooped upon by the buzzards of the press almost instantly.

We do live in a McCarthyist state, there is hope however, McCarthy and his concepts were soon rubbished and he himself became a victim of his own completely prejudiced hatred and blindness to the reality of the situation.

We in the UK have a slightly harder job on our hands, here it is not just one person, it is the system that is riddled with "McCarthyism" and just as happened in America all those years ago - the press, the media did not stand up to the propagators of the witch hunt that epitomized McCarthyism
