Well, even seasoned Shayler watchers had not predicted this one!
Leading "Truth" campaigner David Shayler appears to have gone all David Icke on us, announcing to a stunned audience in Glastonbury that he is the new messiah! Check the link here.
Having followed David Shayler's lies, contradictions and evasions ever since he left MI5, the detail of this instance perhaps surprises us more than the overall direction in which he is going. As we have stated on this site in earlier posts, his appearence and interests already had us scrambling for our old books and news clippings on Operation Julie!
Even here though, Shayler's contradictions stick out like a Rabbi at a 9/11 Truth meeting. On the one hand a man on a spiritual journey, experimenting with hallucinogenics to broaden his mind. On the other the serious ex-MI5 officer and parapolitical researcher, presenting recent documentaries such as "Mind The Gap" on the 7/7 attacks, or the UK Truth Movement's riposte to the BBC's 9/11 conspiracies documentary.
What value the credibility of those programmes now?
It is hard to feel to much sympathy for those caught in the crossfire of Shayler's collapse. He was accepted uncritically into the 9/11 "Truth" movement, and they are now paying the price for that. That some are now trying to play down, even to censure references to his current guise, is telling. These are after all activists who spend their time condemning the US/UK governments for withholding information, but are quick enough to act in an indentical manner themselves.
Has it not occured to any of these 'researchers' that Shayler's current guise - just like his earlier adoption of 'no plane theory' - could almost have been designed to make their movement look ridiculous? Building an organisation up, only to scuttle it causing maximum damage is of course a well worn technique of the security services.
Which is where Shayler came in all those years ago......
