UK blacklist of whistleblowing construction workers
#5
Just when MSM seems entirely pointless, a piece of investigative journalism revealing a secret and odious history appears.

Quote:The League went out of existence in 1994 following exposure of its activities by the Guardian, but the work of blacklisting continued. The League's successor, which involved former directors of the League, was known as "Caprim". Then came the Consulting Association, subject of this weekend's revelations. The involvement of state security forces in supplying information first to the Economic League, then to its successors, has been suspected, even assumed, by union and other activists for decades. The weekend's revelations confirm those suspicions.

The piece ends with a question.

Quote:The question now is: what action is to be taken against those responsible?

The answer is that the military-multinational-intelligence complex will take no action, since it owns this blacklisting operation.

The Consulting Association will follow the tradition of Union Carbide and Arthur Anderson and simply rename and rebrand itself, hoping that memories are short and investigative journalists are scarce.
