Document:Nicola Sturgeon – Used and Discarded | blog post | 15 February 2023 | Alex Salmond Nicola Sturgeon Peter Murrell Scottish independence | "Numerous sources have reported in the last few days that Police Scotland have now been given the go ahead by the Crown Office to pursue a criminal case over the £600,000 missing money. That seems the most likely explanation for the timing of Nicola Sturgeon's resignation today." |
Document:No Ceasefire in the Propaganda War | blog post | 24 November 2023 | BBC Israeli–Palestinian conflict 2023 Gaza−Israel conflict | Since October 8 over 200 Palestinian children have been taken prisoner, none of whom had anything to do with the October 7 attacks. That rather puts the possible release of 33 children and six women today into perspective. But it is not a perspective the BBC would ever give you. |
Document:Novichok, Navalny, Nordstream, Nonsense | blog post | 3 September 2020 | Vladimir Putin Angela Merkel Atlantic Council Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Hamish de Bretton-Gordon Alexei Navalny Novichok Skripal Affair Integrity Initiative Ben Nimmo Digital Forensic Research Lab Nord Stream | The US and Saudi Arabia have every reason to instigate a split between Germany and Russia at this time. Navalny is certainly a victim of international politics. That he is a victim of Putin I tend to doubt. |
Document:On the Pavement with Wikileaks | blog post | 7 April 2019 | Wikileaks Julian Assange Chelsea Manning Kristinn Hrafnsson Lenín Moreno | Pretty well all of the Western media is going to want to focus on these false anti-Assange narratives, and they will be determined to give as little attention as possible to the fact he is a publisher facing trial for publishing leaked state documents which revealed state wrongdoing. It is a classic and fundamental issue of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. |
Document:Peak Kinnock | Article | 19 September 2016 | Tony Blair Gordon Brown Glenys Kinnock Neil Kinnock Helle Thorning-Schmidt David Miliband Stephen Kinnock Jo Cox Brendan Cox Justin Forsyth Save the Children | "11,000 people saving £2 a month might not save a dying little baby, but would exactly pay the £264,000 per year salary of Neil Kinnock’s daughter-in-law Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Chief Executive of Save the Children and wife of MP Stephen Kinnock. Misery for some is a goldmine for others." |
Document:People Need to Reclaim the Internet | blog post | 19 October 2020 | Julian Assange Internet/Censorship Hunter Biden Shadow banning Richard Stallman Burisma | The development of social media gatekeeping of internet traffic is one of the key socio-political issues of our time. We need the original founders of the Internet to get together with figures like Richard Stallman and – vitally – Julian Assange – to find a way we break free from this. |
Document:Pollokshields Shows How To Achieve Independence | blog post | 14 May 2021 | Boris Johnson Glasgow Scottish independence UK/Supreme Court | Pollokshields showed how the people of Scotland will eventually take their own Independence. The “illegal” way in British law. The Gandhi way. The Mandela way. The people’s way. You cannot impose UK law on the people of Scotland. |
Document:President Abbas’ Rebuke to Theresa May over Palestine | blog post | 24 September 2017 | Israel Theresa May Palestine Mark Lewis Jake Wallis Simons Mahmoud Abbas Mandy Blumenthal Alan Blumenthal | The ignored part of the Balfour Declaration to which Abbas referred is of course: “It being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.” |
Document:Probable Western Responsibility for Skripal Poisoning | blog post | 28 April 2018 | Sergei Skripal Novichok Pablo Miller BZ Skripal Affair DSMA-Notice Ken McCallum Steele dossier | Those of us who have been in the belly of the beast and have worked closely with the intelligence services, really do know what they and the British government are capable of. They are not “white knights”. |
Document:So Where is the Swedish Warrant? | blog post | 27 April 2019 | Julian Assange Stella Creasy | All those Blairite MPs who seek to dodge the glaring issue of freedom of the media to publish whistleblower material revealing government crimes, by hiding behind trumped-up sexual allegations, are left looking pretty stupid. |
Document:Striving to Make Sense of the Ukraine War | blog post | 4 April 2022 | 2003 Iraq War Christopher Steele Carole Cadwalladr Hunter Biden 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine | These things can be true at the same time: a) The Russian invasion of Ukraine is illegal: Putin is a war criminal; b) The US led invasion of Iraq was illegal: Blair and Bush are war criminals. |
Document:That Leaked Labour Party Report | blog post | 20 April 2020 | Labour Party John McTernan Keir Starmer Sam Matthews John Ware Emilie Oldknow Governance and Legal Unit Martin Forde Information Commissioner's Office | That Leaked Labour Party Report proves conclusively that Sam Matthews’ allegations of unwarranted interference from Corbyn’s office to block anti-semitism action are malicious lies. |
Document:The Armoured Glass Box is an Instrument of Torture | blog post | Vanessa Baraitser Julian Assange/Imprisonment | I think there is a corner of the mind of this daughter of dissidents from apartheid that rejects her own role in the torture of Julian Assange, and is continually urging “I had no choice, I had no agency”. Those who succumb to do evil must find what internal comfort they may. | |
Document:The Broader View Reveals the Ugliest of Prospects | blog post | 17 June 2019 | Julian Assange MI6 MI5 The Guardian Jeremy Corbyn Mike Pompeo Matt Kennard | I find it hard to believe that I live in times where Julian Assange suffers as he does for telling the truth, where a dedicated anti-racist like Jeremy Corbyn is subjected to daily false accusations of racism and to US and security service backed efforts to thwart his democratic prospects, where the most laughable false flag is paraded to move us towards war with Iran, and where there is no semblance of a genuinely independent media. |
Document:The Curious Case of the Freedom Flotilla | blog post | 28 April 2024 | Israel Israeli–Palestinian conflict Turkey 2010 Gaza Freedom Flotilla Guinea-Bissau 2024 Gaza Freedom Flotilla | Craig Murray: "I am therefore entirely perplexed that the organisers went with Guinea Bissau as the flag state rather than a state likely to stand up to Israel and the US. Of course it failed. Is the problem incompetence, or is it again security service influence?" |
Document:The Forde Report and the Labour Right | blog post | 24 July 2022 | "Antisemitism" Tony Blair Jeremy Corbyn Keir Starmer New Labour Martin Forde | About a third of the mass membership that Corbyn brought into the Labour Party has now left. Starmer, having lied his way through his leadership election, has now positioned the party very squarely back as Blairite and Tory Lite. There is therefore a very real argument that the Forde Report simply does not matter. |
Document:The Four Horsemen Gallop By | blog post | 11 April 2018 | Theresa May Syria Donald Trump Skripal Affair | The notion that Britain will take part in military action against Syria with neither investigation of the evidence nor a parliamentary vote is worrying indeed. Without Security Council authorisation, any such action is illegal in any event. |
Document:The Freedom of Courage | blog post | 1 October 2017 | Corporate media The Establishment G4S Secure Solutions Francisco Franco Mariano Rajoy Catalonia Serco Carles Puigdemont | When you see the right wing Establishment worldwide, plus the entire mainstream media, united against ordinary people as we see today in Catalonia, it's a no-brainer which side you should be on. |
Document:The Gulf of Credibility | blog post | 14 June 2019 | Iran Norway Shinzō Abe Mike Pompeo Frontline John Bolton | That Iran would target a Japanese ship and a friendly Russian crewed ship is a ludicrous allegation |
Document:The Happiest of Days | blog post | 25 June 2024 | Wikileaks Julian Assange Journalist Extradition Espionage US/DOJ Plea deal Presidency of Joe Biden | Craig Murray: "I should be plain I have always advised Julian and Stella to take a plea deal if offered and get out of jail. I have no doubt this was a life or death choice." |
Document:The Incredible Disappearance of Shai Masot | blog post | 2 June 2019 | Liam Fox Corporate media Joan Ryan Adam Werritty John Mann Shai Masot Peter Willsman Israel/Lobby | The open attempt to stifle all criticism of Israel, and in effect to make adherence to zionism a pre-condition for membership of the Labour Party – or indeed acceptance in wider society – is a vicious form of authoritarianism that should have been repudiated robustly from day one. |
Document:The Intellectual Dishonesty of the Guardian | comment | 31 October 2017 | The Guardian Stephen Burgen Jennifer Rankin Catalan Independence | |
Document:The Israeli Terrorist State | blog post | 31 July 2024 | Gaza Israel Zionism Iran Genocide Lebanon Hezbollah Western world Two-state solution Ismail Haniyeh Occupied Palestinian Territory | "For me it is now axiomatic that there is no two state solution and that apartheid Israel must be completely dismantled as an entity. I believe that more and more people around the entire globe believe that now. "And if we have to dismantle our own political and media classes to get there, so be it." |
Document:The Magnitsky Myth Exploded | blog post | 16 September 2019 | European Court of Human Rights Magnitsky Act Bill Browder Sergei Magnitsky | Craig Murray: I am offering a bottle of Lagavulin to anybody who can find me an honest and fair MSM report of this judgement reflecting that the whole story was built on lies. |
Document:The Mind Numbing Hypocrisy of the Supreme Court | blog post | 21 December 2021 | UK/Supreme Court Tim Crosland | So the Supreme Court has ruled that there must be a right to appeal against imprisonment, unless your name is Craig Murray, you are connected to Julian Assange or you are a "war on terror" whistleblower. |
Document:The Presence of Evil | blog post | 25 July 2024 | NATO Gaza Zionism Benjamin Netanyahu UN US Genocide United States Congress International Court of Justice International law 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas War | Netanyahu’s slanderous attacks on the institutions of international law were applauded to the rafters by America’s political leaders. The whole world was watching, and took note. The Zionist project per se is evil. To steal another people’s land and subject them to long and progressive genocide is about as evil a deed as can be imagined. |
Document:The Price of Peace | blog post | 6 November 2018 | Michael Gove Centre for Policy Studies Brexit Democratic Unionist Party Anglo-Irish Agreement Good Friday Agreement European Research Group | It is not possible to understand the current state of play in Brexit negotiations, without understanding that those effectively driving the Tory Party position do not view a hard border with Ireland as undesirable. They view it as a vital achievement en route to rolling back power sharing and all the affirmative measures which brought peace to Northern Ireland, in an affirmation of the glory and power of unionism. |
Document:The Rejection of Starmerism | blog post | 5 July 2024 | Jack Straw Jeremy Corbyn Blackburn Keir Starmer UK/General election/2024 Kate Hollern Adnan Hussain Ibrahim Master | "I don’t think any Prime Minister has ever come to power with less popular enthusiasm than Keir Starmer." |
Document:The Relative Value of Life and Death | Wikispooks Page | 29 July 2024 | Israel Venezuela Syria Lebanon Golan Heights Hezbollah Nicolás Maduro Majdal Shams | Israel has been bombarding Syria relentlessly from long before October 2023 and has continued unabated – and unreported by western media. Israel’s attacks on civilian areas of Damascus this last few weeks have been devastating. It is pretty obvious that any loose missile that dropped on Majdal Shams is likely to have come from Israel, which is slinging huge quantities of munitions into Syria and Lebanon with wild abandon. |
Document:The Sad Death of James Le Mesurier | blog post | 12 November 2019 | White Helmets James Le Mesurier | James Le Mesurier’s usefulness to Western security services, Israel and their Gulf allies came to an end when the jihadist headchoppers to whom Le Mesurier had been providing logistic support and invaluable propaganda, lost their last secure footing in Syria. |
Document:The Stomach-Churning Victim Blaming by “Labour Friends of Israel” | blog post | 14 May 2018 | Labour Friends of Israel Labour Party 2018 Gaza Massacre | Craig Murray: "I do not know what institutional ties the “Labour Friends of Israel” has to the Labour Party, but whatever they are they should be cut off immediately." |
Document:The UK's Macabre Final Election | blog post | 11 November 2019 | Boris Johnson Jeremy Corbyn Jo Swinson UK/General election/2019 | This election is sordid, tawdry, corrupt and uninspiring; a fitting end for the UK and its long history of callous exploitation. |
Document:The Unprincipled – and Potentially Racist – Lib Dems | blog post | 13 September 2019 | Luciana Berger Chuka Umunna Jo Swinson Jenny Manson Clareine Enderby Sara Conway Finchley and Golders Green | If LibDem candidate Clareine Enderby is indeed replaced by Luciana Berger she will be a victim of racism, as the sole grounds on which Ms Berger is being touted as preferable for the 20% Jewish Finchley and Golders Green constituency is her ethnicity. |
Document:The Unrelenting State | blog post | 31 May 2019 | Julian Assange Rafael Correa | Julian Assange: That the most lucid man I know is now not capable of having a rational conversation is extremely alarming. |
Document:The World: What is Really Happening | blog post | 25 May 2019 | White Helmets Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Douma attack Skripal Affair Ian Henderson (OPCW) | Alleged nerve gas attack in Syria - Amanda Martin tweets to George Monbiot: "Don't you smell a set up here though? Craig Murray doesn't think Assad did it." |
Document:Truth and Ukraine | blog post | 2 March 2023 | NATO Russia Military-industrial-congressional complex Ukraine Stop the War Coalition 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Western world | Commentator: "Russia didn't fail to take Kiev in March. It withdrew from Kiev because Zelensky agreed to peace talks. The US, UK and EU opposed the peace talks and Zelensky withdrew from the talks." |
Document:We Are The Bad Guys | blog post | 12 August 2024 | 9-11 "War on Terror" Torture Gaza Al-Qaeda Germany Palestine 2003 Iraq War Israel/Lobby Western world Kursk | In the United Kingdom it falls to the Celtic nations to try to break up the state which is a subordinate but important imperialist engine. The paths of resistance are various, depending where you are. But find one and take one. |
Document:What Might A Ukraine Peace Agreement Look Like? | blog post | 13 May 2022 | Vladimir Putin Crimea Volodymyr Zelensky 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Donbas | Currently nobody in power wants peace. It is often impossible to resolve a geographic conflict without some element that can be portrayed as endorsement of ethnic cleansing. These are the problems of peace. |
Document:What Really Happens in Blackburn | blog post | 24 June 2024 | Jack Straw Blackburn 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas War UK/General election/2024 Adnan Hussain 2003 Iraq war Ibrahim Master | "When my candidacy for Blackburn was announced in March, Jack Straw issued an attack on me on 3 April 2024, stating that I had 'no cause' to stand in Blackburn. Then lo and behold, two months later after the election was called Jack Straw’s old fixer turns up with an 'Independent Candidate' to split the pro-Palestine vote." |
Document:What is Left for Palestine? | blog post | 17 May 2021 | Gaza Israeli–Palestinian conflict Palestine Palestine Solidarity Campaign Mick Napier | It was a beautiful day in Glasgow yesterday for the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign demo, and it was great to be able to meet up again with so many magnificent and public-spirited people. It was an especially young crowd, which was excellent, and I was able to meet many Palestinians who drew comfort from the public support at a traumatic time. |
Document:Where They Tell You Not to Look | blog post | 30 April 2018 | Skripal Affair Gordon Corera Luke Harding DSMA-Notice Steele dossier | Craig Murray's rule number one of real investigative journalism: 1. Look Where They Tell You Not to Look |
Document:Why Barnard Castle | blog post | 24 May 2020 | GlaxoSmithKline Dominic Cummings Barnard Castle | On 12 April 2020 Dominic Cummings was seen in Castle Barnard during lockdown.

Document:Why I am Convinced that Anna Ardin is a Liar | blog post | 11 September 2012 | Julian Assange Anna Ardin Sofia Wilen | To those useful idiots who claim that the way to test these matters is in court, I would say of course, you are right, we should trust the state always, fit-ups never happen, and we should absolutely condemn the disgraceful behaviour of those who campaigned for the Birmingham Six |
Document:Worse Than You Can Imagine | blog post | 26 April 2024 | Benjamin Netanyahu Joe Biden UNRWA UK/FCDO Western world | The political class, across the Western world and the Arab world, is utterly divorced from its people over Gaza. We are seeing worldwide repression, as peaceful conferences are stormed by police in Germany, students are beaten by police on American campuses, and in the UK old white people like me suffer the kind of continual harassment long suffered by young Muslim men. |
Document:Your Man in the Hague (In a Good Way) Part 1 | blog post | 11 January 2024 | Gaza Israel South Africa International Court of Justice Genocide Convention | The fact of genocide is incontrovertible and had been plainly set out. But several of the Judges are desperate to find a way to please the USA and Israel and avoid countering the current Zionist narrative, the adoption of which is necessary to keep your feet comfortably under the table of the elite. |
Document:Your Man in the Hague (In a Good Way) Part 2 | blog post | 14 January 2024 | Gaza Israel South Africa International Court of Justice Genocide Convention | "These two days in the Hague were absolutely crucial for deciding if there is any meaning left in notions of international law and human rights. I still believe action by the Court could cause the US and UK to back off and provide some measure of relief. For now, let us all pray or wish, each in our way, for the children of Gaza." |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery – Assange Hearing Day 1 | blog post | 25 February 2020 | Woolwich Crown Court Julian Assange/Imprisonment | It does not matter to Baraitser or Arbuthnot if there is any genuine need for Assange to be incarcerated in a bulletproof box, or whether it stops him from following proceedings in court. Baraitser's intention is to humiliate Assange, and to instill in the rest of us horror at the vast crushing power of the state. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery – Assange Hearing Day 2 | blog post | 26 February 2020 | Chelsea Manning David Leigh Luke Harding Vanessa Baraitser Julian Assange/Imprisonment | Then, to wrap up proceedings, Baraitser dropped a massive bombshell. She stated that although Article 4.1 of the US/UK Extradition Treaty forbade political extraditions, this was only in the Treaty. That exemption does not appear in the UK Extradition Act. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 10 | blog post | 16 September 2020 | Eric Lewis Thomas Durkin Julian Assange/Imprisonment | Q. Counsel for the US Government James Lewis QC asks defence witness: you suggest that the First Amendment precludes this prosecution. A. Eric Lewis Yes, There has never been a prosecution of a publisher under the Espionage Act of 1917 for publication of classified information. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 11 | blog post | 17 September 2020 | Daniel Ellsberg John Goetz Julian Assange/Imprisonment | Dan Ellsberg, doyen of whistleblowers, had at first been inclined to believe the US Government on Iraqi WMD, just as he had first been inclined to believe the government on deaths caused by Wikileaks releases. In both cases it had proved they were making it up. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 12 | blog post | 18 September 2020 | Iraq Body Count John Sloboda Carey Shenkman Clair Dobbin Julian Assange/Imprisonment | Finally US Government lawyer Clair Dobbin unveiled her key point: Surely all these contentious points were therefore matters to be decided in the US courts after extradition? No, replied defence witness Carey Shenkman. Political offences were a bar to extradition from the UK under UK law, and his evidence went to show that the decision to prosecute Assange under the Espionage Act of 1917 was entirely political. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 13 | blog post | 20 September 2020 | Nicky Hager Ruth Smeeth Khalid El-Masri Jennifer Robinson Carey Shenkman Dean Yates Julian Assange/Imprisonment | “Strictly protect” is nothing to do with security classification, which is what protects national security information. As Nicky Hager said, its normal use is to prevent political embarrassment. As in Australasia, it is a term largely used to protect their secret political assets. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 14 | blog post | 22 September 2020 | Cryptome Andy Worthington Cassandra Fairbanks Christian Grothoff Julian Assange/Imprisonment | Following defence witness Professor Grothoff, the only further evidence heard was the reading by Edward Fitzgerald QC of the gist of a statement from Cassandra Fairbanks. I did not hear most of this because, having adjourned to 4.30pm, the court re-adjourned earlier than advertised, while Julian’s dad John Shipton, the musician M.I.A. and I were away having a coffee. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 15 | blog post | 23 September 2020 | James Lewis JSTOR Michael Kopelman Julian Assange/Imprisonment | The only possible conclusion from yesterday’s testimony is that the performance of the representative of the United States Government (James Lewis QC) was, in and of itself, full and sufficient evidence that there is no possibility that Julian Assange will receive fair consideration and treatment of his mental health issues within the United States system. The US Government has just demonstrated that to us, in open court, to perfection. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 16 | blog post | 24 September 2020 | Quinton Deeley Seena Fazel ADX Florence Special Administrative Measures Julian Assange/Imprisonment | "As James Lewis QC and Edward Fitzgerald QC exchange pleasantries, as the friendly clerks try to make the IT systems work, and my mind swims in horrified disbelief. They are discussing a fate for Julian Assange, my friend, as horrible as that of the thousands who over 500 years were dragged from this very spot and strung up outside. They are all chatting and working away as though we were a normal part of civilised society." |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 17 | blog post | 25 September 2020 | Cryptome Internet Archive James Lewis Michael Kopelman Rachel Daly Nigel Blackwood Sondra Crosby Edward Fitzgerald Julian Assange/Imprisonment | I am going to write to Judge Baraitser applying for a copy of the transcript of Lewis cross-examining Professor Kopelman on the razor blade, with a view to reporting James Lewis QC to the Bar Council. I do wonder whether the General Medical Council might not have reason to consider the practice of Dr Rachel Daly in this case. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 7 | blog post | 9 September 2020 | Clive Stafford Smith Mark Feldstein Gordon Kromberg Julian Assange/Imprisonment | Today we had two expert witnesses, who had both submitted lengthy written testimony relating to one indictment, which was now being examined in relation to a new superseding indictment, exchanged at the last minute, and which neither of them had ever seen. I am obliged to say that I simply cannot believe the blatant abuse of process that is unfolding before my eyes in this courtroom. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 8 | blog post | 10 September 2020 | Gordon Kromberg Trevor Timm Paul Rogers James Lewis Julian Assange/Imprisonment | As Trevor Timm testified today, senior prosecutors in the US Justice Department had opposed this prosecution as unconstitutional and refused to be involved. President Trump was left with this discredited right wing sleazeball, Gordon Kromberg. Now here we are at the Old Bailey, with a floundering James Lewis clutching at this oaf Kromberg for intellectual support. |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 9 | blog post | 15 September 2020 | Babar Ahmad Abu Qatada James Lewis Eric Lewis Julian Assange/Imprisonment | Craig Murray: "It has taken me literally all night to write this up – it is now 8.54am – and I have to finish off and get back into court. The six of us allowed in the public gallery, incidentally, have to climb 132 steps to get there, several times a day. As you know, I have a very dodgy ticker; I am with Julian’s dad John Shipton who is 78; and another of us has a pacemaker." |
Document:Your Man in the Public Gallery: the Assange Hearing Day 6 | blog post | 2 March 2020 | Kristinn Hrafnsson Belmarsh Prison Vanessa Baraitser Old Bailey Julian Assange/Imprisonment | If you asked me to sum up today in a word, that word would undoubtedly be “railroaded”. it was all about pushing through the hearing as quickly as possible and with as little public exposure as possible to what is happening. Access denied, adjournment denied, exposition of defence evidence denied, removal of superseding indictment charges denied. |
