0105 gmt 0205 Hrs uk time london saturday 13 September 2008: KHOODEELAAR! is now demonstrably THE daily [and often more frequent] voice on the internet of the inner city defence against the Blairing assaults on the rights of the people in the inner city communities to have our say on what happens to the land in the inner city areas, what happens to the resources and the needs in the areas, how we can have our say on the decisions made in our name by the formally installed institutions of alleged local representation by the local councils; Khoodeelaar! no to ‘big business agenda for looting society, the big business agenda of greed and mega corruption of society and of the world, the big Business practice, tradition and culture of contaminating the environment internationally, regionally, locally; the big Business agenda of lying big time to justify the corruption and the looting... the big business agenda of doing way with entire communities with no even pretence at wanting to respect the human rights and the environmental rights of the people in the communities that BiG Business is bent on in effect decimating....... the KHOODEELAAR! campaign is in defence of the inner city East End of London and as part of the defence we are today, this weekend CONTINUING our analysis and dissection of the tactics, the trends and the habits of BiG Business propaganda organs.... as we start with THIS piece to examine the contents of the latest assaults by the Big Business London CROSSRAIL hole plot-justifying-lies by the touts of Big Business Business operating as propaganda tools and agents via the Times news organisation owned, rather CONTROLLED by Rupert Murdoch,...... Rupert Murdoch’s son James has been plugged this past week as ‘confirming that the Murdoch news Business operations will stay headquartered at wapping in the LondoN Borough of Tower Hamlets’.

KHOODEELAAR! No to “Big Business agenda CRASSRAIL hole plot and SCAM..." CAMPAIGN TOLD YOU SO... Update on KHOODEELAAR! vindication [105]
The following is a quote from a web site which has published in the past few hours this [quoted] comment about CROSSRAIL. Now, to those who are already familiar with the KHOODEELAAR! analysis of CRASSrail London, the quoted statement would not be new at all... Why?
Because KHOODEELAAR! has been saying so for almost 5 years now...
But to those who are ‘new’ to KHOODEELAAR! or to AADHIKARonline publishing, this [quoted below] comment is the latest vindication in a long line of the KHOODEELAAR! analysis and analyses by a third party and source.
KHOODEELAAR! is the leading intellectual, constitutional law and economic opposition to the Big Business London Crassrail hole scam. And we are INCLUDING THIS [quoted statement below] AS ANOTHER ITEM of evidence IN OUR constitutional law challenge to the crassly conceived, crassly promoted, unlawfully pushed and unconstitutionally 'passed through the UK parliament', wasteful, obsolete CROSSRAIL hole scam:
"
Whether Crossrail in its present form is good value for money is questionable. Its primary function is to relieve pressure on the Central Line tube. It may be one of those projects that has grown out of hand, and that what is really needed is another tube line, at a fraction of the cost.

KHOODEELAAR! focus on the role of Tim Archer, Tory Councillor for 'Canary Wharf' on Tower Hamlets Crossrail hole plot-backer Council [103]
0650 GMT 0750 Hrs UK Time London Tuesday 9 September 2008:
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! A year ago, ALMOST to the day [ today is 9 September 2008 and a year ago THIS week on Friday 7 September 2007], KHOODEELAAR! did an actin archive on THIS KHOODEELAAR! site and discussed, amongst other things, the role [however small] played by Francis Maude [MP], then the UK Conservative Party ‘leader’ [ April 2006] who had stated his PARTY’s OPPOSITION to the Crossrail hole in the Brick Lane, London E1 area.......
And yesterday, 8 September 2008, we came to be aware that today’s Guardian was to publish the item promoting Tory councillor Tim Archer. We have already this morning [Tuesday 9 September 2008] begun to focus on Archer’s untrustworthiness..... And we are going to continue the examination of his dubious and lethally anti-community role on Tower Hamlets Council. Before we get to that stage, it is vital to remind visitors of what we had said on 7 September 2007.
ACTION Archive against Crossrail attack on the East end of London: AADHIKARonline report on the Crossrail hole plotter Ken Livingstone 26.04.2006
London mayor Livingstone obstructs Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole
Within minutes [on Monday 24 April 2006] of AADHIKARonline reporting the Conservative Party Chair Francis Maude’s backing to Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Bill campaign, London Mayor Ken Livingstone had his office send a strange communication to Khoodeelaar! The legal and democratic significance of the Ken Livingstone communication are enormous, especially in the last week before the scheduled local elections on 4 May 2006
1. Within minutes [on Monday 24 April 2006] of AADHIKARonline reporting the Conservative Party Chair Francis Maude’s backing to Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Bill campaign, London Mayor Ken Livingstone had his office send a strange communication to Khoodeelaar! The legal and democratic significance of the Ken Livingstone communication are enormous, especially in the last week before the scheduled local elections on 4 May 2006
2. That communication from the head of Ken Livingstone’s transport department, effectively says that the Khoodeelaar! demands for Ken Livingstone to make full disclosure of all his communications with the clique of corrupt controllers of Tower Hamlets Council are too expensive for the London Mayor to comply with !
3. There is no specific item that the London Mayor has identified in his mayor communication to Khoodeelaar on Monday 24 April 2006 as constituting an allegedly over-the-permitted limit of administration cost request under the Freed of Information Act.
4. The key point is that Khoodeelaar! the campaign against the CrossRail hole Bill attacks plan on the Brick Lane London E1 area, has been issuing ken Livingstone with a series of pre-action [letter before claim] communications and the London mayor has now run out of excuses.
5. At the centre of the Khoodeelaar legal action claims against Ken Livingstone lies in the fact that the mayor has persistently misled Londoners generally and the UK Parliament through his undisclosed deals with the Transport Department and in particular the people of the East End community affected by the CrossRail hole plan.
6. Khoodeelaar! delivered the first demand to ken Livingstone for confirming a number of facts that were linked with the mayor’s release of a news item on 24 March 2006.
7. That was followed within a day or two by other calls on Livingstone to disclose the facts of his dealing with the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council.
8. It was again repeated by Khoodeelaar! no to Crossrail hole campaign updating their calls on Livingstone to deal with the factual questions that arose about the stunt from the written statement about the CrossRail hole Bill that was issued in the UK House of Commons by CrossRail hole Minister Alistair Darling on 30 March 2006.
9. The mayor is on record as having touted for the enlisting of the ‘leaders’ and ‘lead members’ of a number of local councils, including the then leader of Tower Hamlets Council [Helal Uddin Abbas] in February 2004 as part of the Livingstone lobby for CrossRail plan.
10. In a Crossrail-hole-plan promotional ‘letter’ published in 2004 under the name of Ken Livingstone together with the names of Helal Uddin Abbas and others from other local Councils, the promotion of CrossRail was made without a single qualification let alone reservation.
11. Khoodeelaar! immediately wrote to both Livingstone and demanded that the Evening Standard publish the truth about the CrossRail hole plan. Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque told the Editor of the London EVENING STANDARD that their failure to publish the truth about the CrossRail plan [as it still was - because the CrossRail hole Bill was not put before the House of Commons until 22 February 2005, almost a year after Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque was having the series of demands put on Ken Livingstone and Christine Gilbert to tell the truth of their then role in promoting the CrossRail plan. The EVENING STANDARD failed to publish the truth. As did Ken Livingstone.
12.
That was in February 2004.
13. Khoodeelaar! Organiser Muhammad Haque also wrote to Tower Hamlets Council chief Executive Christine Gilbert in February 2004 and in March 2004 asking for a series of detailed answers to questions about her own role in promoting the CrossRail hole plan including the question as to what advice, if any, had she, Christine Gilbert, given to the ruling clique or group on the Tower Hamlets Council. There was no reply. There has been no reply.
14. When Khoodeelaar! issued the latest then updated series of legal claims against Alistair Darling, ken Livingstone, Christine Gilbert and a few others and said that the application to the High Court in London against them would be filed on Monday 27 March 2006, a number of things immediately happened.
15. Ken Livingstone suddenly issued a news release on 24 March 2006 saying that the CrossRail Dirt hole in the Brick Lane London E1 had been scrapped!
16. And that Ken Livingstone Crossrail-Dirt-hole plan against Brick Lane London E1 area scrapping stunt announcement was then used as the peg for the evening TV news which featured the entire cabal of self-seeking politicos doing their fame slots and assorted other fantasies. They were given more time than Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque who did say on the record [BBC London News, Friday 24 April 2006] that as far as Khoodeelaar! Was concerned, they had immediately asked Livingstone to substantiate the claims of the scrapping of the Crossrail Dirty hole plan and demanded that Livingstone to answer the outstanding detailed KHOODELAAR! no to CrossRail hole questions that had been put to him as based on his unqualified plugs for the CrossRail plan over the previous years
17. Accordingly, Muhammad Haque and Khoodeelaar! campaign sent the detailed further questions immediately and also went to City hall on Monday 3 April 2006 and delivered a series of questions for Livingstone to deal with.
18. On the same occasion [3 April 2006] Khoodeelaar demonstrated the campaign’s opposition to Ken Livingstone’s role so far and demanded that Livingstone come out with the overdue answers to the extensive and the very comprehensive KHOODEELAAR! No to the Crossrail hole questions which had arisen from Livingstone’s stunt staged on Friday 24 March 2006 about the alleged scrapping of the CrossRail Dirt hole.
19. Livingstone remained silent
20. Until the AADHIKARonline news carried the first detailed transcripts of the Khoodeelaar! Organiser’s Questions and answers encounter with Conservative party chair Francis Maude in Brick Lane in the mid afternoon of Monday 24 April 2006.
21. Ken Livingstone’s head of Transports sent an e-mail which is full of typical Ken Livingstone’s dissembling. The concept of dissembling as associated with ken Livingstone on 24 April 2006 had already been spotted and identified a month previously [on Friday 24 March 2006] out by Khoodeelaar organiser Muhammad Haque in his news interview with the BBC London political editor Tim Donovan on that date [Friday 24 March 2006].

KHOODEELAAR! No to 'Crossrail hole plot' Big Business agenda CAMPAIGN exposes the Tory Councillor Tim Archer [102 C]
This page was last edited in London at 0108 GMT on Tuesday 9 September 2008
DEPRIVATION is what the Tories CAUSE. Deprivation is what they support. Deprivation is what they profit from. Deprivation is what they exploit. To make careers out of. And profit from.
So it has been EXPECTED that the Tories !!! on Tower Hamlets Council would not be backing the campaign against the Crossrail hole plot on the East End of London..... For to oppose the Crossrail scam would be to oppose the founding pillars of capitalist corruption...
But that is not to say that the timeserving Tories are even aware of the duplicity of the deprivation system that they back and exploit.
Below is an interview and plug in the Guardian for one of the three Tories whom the local 'East London IDIOTISER' has been promoting if they were not only not Tories of Thatcherism but as if they were were from an outer space unconnected with the millennia of wealth-grabbing crime which the Thatchered Conservatives epitomise and which the Canary Wharf Conservatives actually crave and emulate....
We are here examining [in this series of commentaries] Tim Archer's boastful reference to their role on the Council, as published on the Guardian web site in the past 100 minutes:
"Tim Archer, Poplar and Limehouse
Target seat no 105
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday September 09 2008 00:01 BST
Article history
1. Perception: Do you consider yourself to be a progressive?
"Yes. I'm a Conservative councillor in Tower Hamlets, one of the most deprived parts of the country, and am the parliamentary candidate for the marginal new consistency of Poplar and Limehouse, an east London seat that encompasses the wealth of Canary Wharf and some of the poorest estates in London and the country.
"I've been elected as a councillor in Tower Hamlets, which is a naturally Labour area; before 2004 there had never been a Conservative on the council ever before. In Tower Hamlets the Conservatives are the party fighting for local people to ensure they get a fair deal. We want to make sure that local people have the opportunities to take advantage of the economic engine that's on our doorstep in the form of Canary Wharf.
"We want to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, not by unfair taxation but by giving people the best start in life and the opportunities to make their lives better. For example, Labour have made a small advance in school reform by, for example, the development of local academies. In Tower Hamlets the Labour-run council turned down the offer of £4m from Goldman Sachs to invest in two schools under the academy scheme. I supported this investment as it would bring much needed cash to our local schools and give local children a better start in life. Labour turned down the money as they seem to want to perpetuate the problem of local people not having the opportunities to better themselves. It seems to suit Labour to keep people down. Now which is the more progressive?
"Finally, I was selected as the parliamentary candidate by an open primary, where almost 100 local residents from the East End of London came to choose who they wanted as their candidate."
2. Tax: Should David Cameron offer more tax cuts than he has outlined already?
"By nature Conservatives believe in low taxes, giving people choice over how they spend, invest and save their hard-earned money. It also keeps our economy competitive internationally. We're in difficult economic times so our ability to offer more tax cuts is limited. And with Labour being fresh out of ideas, offering more tax cuts simply gives them more ideas to pinch!"
3. Tax: If yes to the above, do you think they should be funded by
(a) cuts in public spending, or
(b) increases in other taxes
"A combination of both; some taxes are unfair and they should be replaced (inheritance tax, stamp duty for first-time buyers). Some aspects of public spending could be cut, for example the money wasted on the New Deal, which has not delivered."
4. Tax: Should so-called "green" taxes increase?
"True green taxes need to be increased, but not to simply increase the overall tax intake. We need to take the threat to our environment seriously and taxes should be used to encourage environmentally friendly activities."
5. Tax: As a share of GDP tax is currently around 37%. After four years of a Conservative government would you expect it to be:
(a) substantially lower – at least 2 percentage points
(b) slightly lower
(c) much the same as it is now
(d) higher
A.
6 Europe: On balance has Britain lost out or gained from its membership of the EU? If it has lost out, should it withdraw?
"Probably gained, especially in trade, but the EU comes with costs, for example the Lisbon treaty without a referendum, the common agricultural policy, which needs reform."
7. Family: Which of the following statements most reflects your view:
(a) The tax system should be reformed to recognise and promote marriage
(b) The tax system should help parents regardless of their marital status
A.
8. Abortion: The House of Commons recently voted to maintain the upper limit of 24 weeks on abortion. Do you believe it should be reduced? If yes, by how many weeks?
"My personal view is that I would like to see the limit reduced from the current 24 weeks. I would like to see 22 weeks."
