	The Pope and Antisemitism, Part 2: Mr. Laughland's Adulation
		Laughland glorifies Gumpel for glorifying Pope Pius XII
		According to Laughland, Pope Pius XII was a defender of Jews and a cautious enemy of Nazism.
		Sir: In 'Pius the hero' (20 July), John Laughland uncritically repeats Father Gumpel's claim that members of the Catholic-Jewish historical commission which studied the wartime record of Pius XII 'did not even bother to read all of the 8,000 pages of documents that were put at their disposal'.

		John Laughland: It is amazing to hear the commentators before either of us came on the air saying the solution is more intelligence activity.
		John Laughland: I have no doubt that they are contemplating that and I listen with great sadness when I hear commentators egging them on, as the previous speaker just has.
		John Laughland:The Russian president indicated he is very willing to go into such a coalition against Osama bin Laden, who he blames for financing the Chechyn war against him, so you have the Russians in the war with you and the Israelis would stay on the sidelines, and this could be termed self-defence.

	The Pope in Winter by John Cornwell
		John Paul is still certain that the “motherly hand” of Mary kept the bullet away from his vital organs.
		John Paul II will certainly go down in history as one of the dominant figures of his age, but as much for his achievements as for the failures, which Cornwell so devastatingly records in an account which is more polemic than biography.
		John Paul II is, in fact, a tremendously complex human being, a leader of unquestioned abilities whose blind spots have caused him to stumble along the way.

	Byzantine Sacred Art Blog: Travesty, By John Laughland
		In stark contrast, John Laughland’s excellent book on the ICTY and the trial of Slobodan Milosevic is a powerful critique based upon a detailed analysis of both the procedures and rules governing the ICTY in general, and Milosevic’s trial in particular.
		Laughland’s book is excellent for his critique and analysis of the ICTY and Milosevic’s trial in itself, but he also engages with broader shifts in post-Cold War international relations.
		Furthermore, Laughland points out a more important and crucial difference between Nuremberg and the ICTY: whilst the ICTY is established in the name of an unaccountable and non-existent ‘international community’ and international morality, the Nuremberg trials were grounded in the explicit assumption of sovereignty over Germany by the Allied powers.

	The Voice of the Turtle
		Now John Laughland has used the same strategy with respect to the contemporary debate on European union, as he simultaneously anatomises and anathematises the ideological pedigree of the EU's plans for the political and economic unification of the entire continent.
		Laughland makes enough remarks throughout The Tainted Source to distance himself decisively from this point of view: in general he rejects anything that smacks of a materialist explanation of politics, and this account of ideology clearly descends from the speculations of the young Marx.
		The result of Laughland's approach is to construct a curious parallel to a Trotskyist historiography that presents the history of the last hundred years as a succession of heroic and militant working class movements being repeatedly betrayed to the capitalists by the social democratic, right-wing leadership.

	Baltimore Independent Media Center: PR man to Europe's nastiest regimes
		Laughland's great strength is that he sees what no one else in the west seems to.
		Laughland has variously queried the idea that human rights are a problem in Belarus, or that the Serbs behaved so very savagely in Kosovo.
		Laughland is also European Director of the European Foundation (patron, Mrs M Thatcher), which - judging by its website - seems to spend most of its time and energy sending out pamphlets by arch-Europhobe Bill Cash.

		JOHN LAUGHLAND: It's absolutely unbelievable to hear people like Javier Solana saying that problems must be solved politically and not by force because, as we know, two years ago, NATO tried to solve the Kosovo problem by force.
		JOHN LAUGHLAND: CNN now shows Kosovo as an integral part of Serbia which is, after all, NATO's policy.
		JOHN LAUGHLAND: There is a matter of public knowledge there is a program to build a pipeline across the Balkan peninsula from the Black Sea coast in Bulgaria to the Adriatic coast of Albania.

	Part 1: Did the Pope Really Reject Church Antisemitism? Mr. Foxman's Mistake
		In Part Two, I suggested that one of the reasons Laughland wrote the Spectator article was to remind the public that in attacking the Jewish historians, Gumpel spoke for the Vatican - that is, for the Pope.
		It is chilling that, on the eve of Pope John Paul II’s trip to the Middle East, Rev. Gumpel, a German, and a leading Papal adviser, incited TV viewers with this horror story, straight out of the German Nazi tradition, about an imaginary Jewish professor wanting to murder Gentiles.
		John Laughland says Gumpel was speaking for the Pope in 26 July 2001, when he attacked the Jewish historians.

		'''John Laughland''' is a British journalist who has criticised Western support for the Serbian opposition to Slobodan Milosevic, and condemned the November 2003 revolution in Georgia (country) Georgia as a "coup d'état".
		He has condemned the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague on the grounds that the UN Security Council resolution that created it was illegitimate and because he disagrees with its judicial [http://www.un.org/icty/legaldoc/index.htm procedures].

	Transatlantic Intelligencer: Follow-Up: The BHHRG Effect (with Update)
		Given Laughland’s record of opposition to the Iraq war and his tendency to see American geo-political machinations at work in every regional crisis, he was quickly identified by the more conservative, more pro-American – or, as I put it, anti-anti-American – sectors of the blogosphere as part of the loony “left”.
		Laughland has in fact been known to spin some rather outlandish yarns on the ubiquity and perfidy of American power: yarns that have that hermetic quality that is so characteristic of anti-Americanism as an ideology or indeed of ideology in general.
		The ideological diversity of the attacks on Laughland and BHHRG in connection with the Ukraine crisis lends support, incidentally, to my hypothesis that what is at stake in the latter escapes the traditional “left”/”right” divide as inherited from the Cold War.

	Full Marx for George Bush by John Laughland
		Ever since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, there has been a seemingly endless flow of self-congratulatory comment in the West about how former Communist countries – and even some which have remained Communist – are gradually Westernising and learning the ropes in the capitalist jungle.
		It is this promise to emancipate the whole of mankind which so endears George Bush to a phalanx of former Marxist ideologues like Christopher Hitchens, Nick Cohen, John Lloyd, Julie Burchill and David Aaronovitch.

	Chrenkoff
		Meet John Laughland, a prolific opinion writer and a trustee of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group, a noble-sounding organization which "monitors human rights and democracy" in Western European and post-Soviet states.
		And so, John Laughland goes to bat not only defending the integrity of the Ukrainian electoral process but also siding with the post-communist oligarchs.
		I'm glad that Laughland is still with the program (indeed it's so much fun, that John can't help himself but to also smear Michael Ledeen with the same brush - because as we all know, if you study fascism, you must be a fascist sympathizer yourself).

	Eric the Unread: Laughland watch
		John Laughland's Times letter is up at the Free Slobodan Milosevic site:
		I was disappointed in your interview with Stephen Kay (Law, September 21), that you seemed to approve, at least nem con, the decision of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia to impose counsel on Slobodan Milosevic.
		The reason I have highlighted the Gestapo comment, is not in order to invoke Godwin's law, but because it is worth remembering as you read this excellent article by Chris Brooke, who has described John Laughland as a "swivel-eyed loon with rancid politics and a set of very bad arguments".

		Just to note however, that the occassional Guardian columnist John Laughland (covered here, here, here, here and here) has already made his views clear.
		John Laughland, a trustee of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group, was even tougher.
		He argues that the British press is spreading fairy-tales about the struggle between the courageous and much attacked democrat, Yushchenko, and the authoritarian current prime minister, Yanukovich, longing for the return of Soviet times.

		As a student of WWII it was only last year that I became aware of the sheer numbers of foreign volunteers for the Waffen SS and the extent of active collaboration with the National Socialist program from a broad spectrum of Europeans, not just Germans.
		I would caution the reader however, that Laughland does not talk much about the individuals on the Continent who are working to create a democratic and accountable United States of Europe - like Otto von Hapsburg.
		Laughland argues that borders are critical jurisdictions but not boundaries to free trade; the gold standard would lead to sounder money (all snickering from wonks and Fed worshippers aside); and law is a system based on objective moral values and not dirigiste bureaucratic management.

		Scott Martens tackled the same book more recently, laying emphasis on Laughland’s economic royalism, based around a return to the gold standard, and a kind of 19th century romantic approach to the supremacy of the nation state as the best means of expressing the political integrity of peoples.
		And the problem with Putin, Laughland has argued recently, is that he’s not aggressive enough in confronting the West and its institutions.
		This was sometimes known as the “wager on the strong” and you can see the parallels in both the “oligarchical individualism” of the Ukraine’s clan based and patrimonial economy and in the attempt Putin is making to rein in individual oligarchs while re-organizing Russia on oligarchical lines.
