First comments on and response by KHOODEELAAR! NO to Crossrail hole Plot CAMPAGN organiser Muhammad Haque to the London UK Times online promotion today Tuesday 29 January 2008 of 'Vanessa Cotton, the managing director of events at ExCeL London' which is situated not far from Canary Wharf in the East End of London – on a socially and economically opposite site and positon to Whitechapel, Brick Lane and Stepney….
You quote Vanessa Cotton, the managing director of events at ExCeL London as saying "... when Crossrail is built, we’ll have our own station.”
You don't quote her on any aspect of the poverty, lack of education, lack of qualification, lack of jobs, lack of adequate housing or income that predominate the lives of tens of thousands in the 'same' 'East End' of London.
You could not quote her on any of those even if you wanted to. She would first have to have something truthful, credible, real and journalistically and topically quotable to say on those. To do so would expose her and those setting the agenda for the propaganda blitz around and for Crossrail and the 2012 hosting of the Olympic Games as the fabricators that they are.
The 'East End of London' is NOT going to benefit from Crossrail. Just as the hosting of the 2012 Olympic Games is not going to make any justifiable difference for the better to the lives and to the prospects of the communities across the affected parts of the East End of London.
Ordinary people who are part of the ordinary population. The benefits will go to Big Business and the categories of their colluders who are propelling the fraudulent scheme designed to enable construction conglomerates to relieve the UK public of between 20 Billion and 40 Billion pound sterling [at January 2008 prices] under a wide variety of falsehoods, inventions and untruths.
The Crossrail benefits are designed to go to the well-off and the outsiders. To the Big Business and their touts and their agents and their peddlers.
The tell tale signs are all transparent in their conduct so far. Not in their words as they would like to utter them. But in their actions. Those actions speak louder than their concealed words of hypocrisy and double lies.
The reason why the Crossrail hole plot-backers wanted to have a ‘Crossrail station’ at Whitechapel AT ALL is demonstrably a fake one. It is NOTHING to do with the people of the area. It is to use Whitechapel to reach Canary Wharf. It is ALSO to use the space and the land in this part of the East End so that some Big Business-linked property owners and speculators do not have to give up on their own prize spots of speculative East London land.
And it is to use that as a ‘benefit’ in the name of the collective ‘East End of London’ in the touting, stooging role of the Crossrail hole-plot-inviter clique on the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council.
A little to the north west of Vanessa's ‘ ExCeL London ‘ location, life is existed on different paces. And de facto little expectations. Historically and politically, this is how the forces pushing for Crossrail scam [‘scheme’] want it. This is how the Blair regime wanted it. This is how Gordon Brown is set to continue to want it.. Last but not least, this is how the ‘Undone mayor’ Ken Livingstone wants it.
All of these power-wielding elements and agents behaving in adverse ways against the interest of the people of the Eats End of London want to use the people and the land in the East End of London to make gains by depriving the people.
By covering up the structural, the social, the institutional, the organisational denials, deprivations that have been perpetrated and perpetuated in the name of the people against whom these injustices have been operated and are being continued, the plotters, the agencies and the forces pushing for the Crassly conceived Crossrail London scam are laying the foundations for far deeper, far wider social injustice and inequality than can be detected if their propaganda words alone are taken to be their statements of intent or their purpose behind the pernicious plan.
