WAS TONY BLAIR AN MI5 ASSET UNTIL 1989?

On 25 June 2005, investigative journalists from the News Alliance, NFB Magazine and the Daily Mirror, teamed-up in London to discuss the revelations of 'former' MI5 officer David Shayler. The venue for the meeting was the inconspicuous Rising Sun public house on Tottenham Court Road.
The issue at hand was the now conspicuous allegation that Tony Blair had been an MI5 asset for over a decade until he was dropped as being too high-profile before the 1992 General Election which Labour was expected to win. Had Labour won the General Election, it was widely predicted that Blair would have served as the Home Secretary under Neil Kinnock's premiership.
This dramatic revelation came about as a result of Dr Larry O'Hara's (NFB Magazine) public debate with 'former' MI5 officer David Shayler on 21 June 2005 at the Conway Hall in London.
Throughout the 90 minute debate Shayler was grilled thoroughly by Dr O'Hara on a broad range of parapolitical issues. Whilst Shayler stood up to the onslaught from his fiercest critic, it was felt that he had been bested and could not justify a number contradictions in his various revelations since 1997. A DVD was made of the classic engagement to ensure that Shayler was completely on record and could not deny what he said at a later stage as he has done so many times in the past.
Desperately seeking credibility from a largely hostile left-wing audience, Shayler intimated for the first time that he had much more to reveal about New Labour ministers and his emphasis was upon the recently resigned Prime Minister Tony Blair. And Shayler later confessed that he was prepared to reveal certain documents through third parties who could not be traced back to him.
Immediately, News Alliance and NFB Magazine swung into action and formulated a plan to obtain the extracts of Tony Blair's MI5 Personal File, which Shayler claimed to have. Knowing Shayler's penchant for the limelight, it was decided to approach him through the third party of the Daily Mirror. In the event the Daily Mirror offered Shayler £70,000 for the extracts if they were published even though a High Court injunction precludes any revelations from Shayler being published by the national media.
The Mirror's former poltical editor, Andy Lines was delegated by his editor to investigate further and he joined up with the News Alliance and NFB Magazine in London to see what could be done to further open-up this intriguing pandora's box.
A tape recording was made of the meeting, which can be listened to using the media player above right on this screen. And whilst we had teamed up primarily to discuss the Shayler/Blair issue, no other issues were off the menu. For the first time in this exclusive publication, hear Andy Lines admit on record that:
The debate has raged on for years whether 'journalists' should be supervised by British Intelligence and police officers. The prime concern is that agents of the State get to determine what is released into the public domain. At the News Alliance we are completely opposed to the advent of journo-cops and journo-spooks working to the State's agenda. We are after all supposed to live in a 'democracy' but as a result of The Blair Years it is clear that Britain has come to resemble a Police State with severe restrictions on freedom of speech.
In the wake of Alastair Campbell's release of his 'extracted' diaries (The Blair Years, see opposite) it is more relevant than ever that this matter should be brought to public attention in order to combat Blair and Campbell's attempt to rehabiliate themselves with another pack of lies.
It is particularly shocking that Campbell uses the fond memory of the late Princess Diana to try and portray himself and the cash for honours crook Tony Blair in a better light. This latest act of cynical exploitation is entirely typical of what the public has come to expect from these notorious professional liars.
We do not say that Shayler's allegation is true or false - we simply ask people to judge Blair on his record in office, as the 'Prime Minister' who just could not say no to the increasingly draconian 'demands' of the Intelligence Services and their embedded politicised Police....
Mathew 23:14 'Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites. For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.'
Little wonder then that Blair claims "only God can judge me over Iraq", a statement that completely betrays his very evident meglomania and perhaps explains why he has sought 'refuge' behind the Catholic 'religion'!
