The Shredding of the Written US and Unwritten UK Constitutions
Paul Craig Roberts
The US and British governments have intentionally allowed their countries to be overrun by Muslims, many being displaced persons from Washington’s wars for Israel in the Middle East. Yet both countries work diligently for Israel against Muslims. Consequently, they have created internal problems that they are managing by suppressing constitutionally protected free speech.
The suppression of course is not of pro-Israeli speech. It is suppression of pro-Palestinian speech. Thirteen British universities are working with BAE Systems, the largest British armaments corporation, to suppress pro-Palestine protests on university campuses. Six universities–Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Strathclyde, Southampton, and Cranfield receive $20 million in annual payments from BAE Systems as designated “strategic partners.” Thus, they are bought-and-paid-for just like the British government.
Gina Romero, a United Nations special rapporteur points out that an armaments producer that supplies components for Israel’s genocide machine has hired university administrations to manage corporate risk by suppressing dissent over BAE’s complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestine.
Meanwhile, New York City police arrested students who protested outside at the UN against Netanyahu’s presence. The New York Muslim Mayor had threatened to arrest Netanyahu on the outstanding warrant from the International Criminal Court for war crimes, but instead it was those protesting Netanyahu who were arrested.
Inside the UN the General Assembly protested Netanyahu’s presence by walking out on him. So far the members of the General Assembly have not been arrested for the crime of showing disrespect–an antisemitic hate crime–against the genocidal monster Netanyahu.
It is another sign of the collapse of British and American societal principles that free speech is suppressed in the interests of corporate image and profit and to protect a genocide.
