Recently vandalised UK warplanes ‘are foreign assets’

Human rights activist Craig Murray has claimed a US hedge fund is the real owner of the aircraft and that they are routinely leased out to Israel.

The Royal Air Force warplanes defaced by pro-Palestinian activists last month are owned not by the British government but a US hedge fund, prominent human-rights activist Craig Murray has alleged. He added that at least some of the planes appear to be routinely leased out to the Israeli military.

In June, several activists from the group Palestine Action broke into Brize Norton, the UK’s largest airbase, and sprayed red paint into the turbines of two Voyager aircraft before fleeing the scene undetected.

The group said the stunt was a protest against the supposed involvement of the Royal Air Force in Israel’s military operation in Gaza. The British authorities vowed to prosecute those responsible.

Speaking to RT on Sunday, Murray, who served as British ambassador to Uzbekistan from 2002 till 2004 and is an associate of WikiLeaks’ co-founder Julian Assange, said that he had discovered that the planes in question were owned by Airtanker Ltd, which, in turn, is supposedly “owned by a string of seven fake companies.”

According to Murray, behind the cutout entities stands a US hedge fund named Polygon Global Partners LLP, which is the real owner of the planes.

He claimed that the entity “has joint interests with the Trump organization and BlackRock,” which has stakes in several military industrial giants.

The former British diplomat told RT that of the 14 planes in question “nine are permanently with the RAF, and five of them are sometimes with the RAF, and sometimes can be leased out to other foreign militaries, including the Israeli military.”

“It seems to be fairly definite that the Israelis are using these planes. These planes have been frequently flying to [the RAF Akrotiri airbase in Cyprus] which has been the main military support base for Israeli activities into Gaza,” Murray claimed.

He added that officials in London refuse to either confirm or deny that such military missions are carried out in support of Israel.

On top of that, according to Murray, the British “taxpayer is being ripped off” as under the contract with Polygon Global, the UK government is “paying five times the value of these planes.” He said the agreement expires in 2049.

In the wake of the vandalism, UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to designate the activist group as a terrorist organization and ban it.

  1. UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and her whole government is an activist group that can be confidently marked as a terrorist organization.
    I can’t wait untill that whole s*ht show blows up.
    Sad thing is that many ‘normal’ people will suffer. But I’m sure they will share that.

  2. This is why the Aerial Tanker Fleets are becoming company-owned, such as ‘Omega’ which are purchasing ex-French KC-135’s and KC-10’s from the boneyard at Davis Montham AFB.

    Blackrock will OWN all ‘Defense Assets’ thru mergers and conglomerates. The tanker fleet is just the start!
    This could be considered to be an international fraud if such ‘assets’ are participating in genocides, wars, etc as the Governments engaged in this circumvent International Law by privatising these Blackrock ‘assets’!
    Besides, these civilian-owned and contracted tankers are Civilian aircraft, and cannot be shot-down by a hostile force as per the Geneva Convention, as a government-owned aircraft can under conditions of hostilities.
    The J3w Larry Fink and his Zionist advisors have many ways of skirting around the law using the law to do potential war crimes.

  3. So, to cut to the chase, I own shares (it could be via family or shell companies) in investment portfolios that own fake companies who launder the ownership, and these MIC assets are then leased out to conduct a war that I ordered.
    And which is paid for by the serfs I govern.
    And which are stupid enough to vote into power our lot, time after time after time.
    Brouhaha!
    And then there are other countries who want a bit of that cake too.
    So we give them some crumbs.
    Ya know, the MIC is not only military. It is industrial. Banking is also an industy.
    BROUWAHAHAHAhahaaaaaaaaaaa

  4. “Recently vandalised UK warplanes are foreign assets”.
    This must be what the state means by “public private partnerships” which is just “Corporatism” by another name.
    Now we know why it is a “terrorist act” and a prison sentence for talking about and/or supporting Pro Palestine Action Group in Britain.
    We don’t hate our governments (foreign assets) and MP’s (foreign agents) enough. The same hate goes for Blackrock/Vanguard/State Street.
