This independent British journalist sees that "the times they are a changin'" as suggested by a comparison of the recent liberal Guardian (and Observer) coverage of the rise of Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party in Britain with that of the censorship that they imposed on a 2002 report of a former CIA official's admission that the CIA knew there weren't any WMD in Iraq.
Well, the times may, or may not, be a changin', but it will be fascinating to see how the Empire's ruling capitalist class will deal with Corbyn even though, in my judgement, he only wants to return to a past which included strong representation of labor leaders in their government, strong social-welfare policies, and less subordination of British politics to US policies. This cannot happen--without a revolution--simply because the British and American ruling classes have the same imperial interests--they have merged into an Anglo-American ruling capitalist class, the dominant core of the Empire (with a strong Zionist sub-core). Thus, it is not only a "terrible dilemma" for the Guardian and a problem for the ruling class, but ultimately, and most importantly, for the British people when they destroy Corbyn--which they will do in some way.
