Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey vs FUKUS

Today I felt a need to refresh my knowledge about the life and tribulations of Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, a man of many talents I have had an opportunity to mention several times.  Characters like Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey* are in short supply, and ignoring him for too long just wouldn't do.

And I was happy to discover that my timing was right. Apparently, Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey has recently coined a new term, hitherto unknown to connoisseurs of acronyms. It is FUKUS, which is supposed to mean France, UK and US or, as he puts it in the long form "the two ex-colonial powers the UK and France and their former colony(ies), the USA". In other cases, when he is especially irked (probably by stale food in the Pravda's canteen),  he adds the Little Satan to the trio.

I don't want to inquire how exactly this acronym is pronounced by Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, but I am confident you are able to make an educated guess. Anyway, I like the acronym and probably will adopt it for some cases.    

What else is new with Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey? First of all, his style - never stable or easily readable to start with - became even more indicative of his tendency to histrionics, unbridled by judicious use of tranquilizers. An image of a rattlesnake trying to excrete several razorblades comes to mind. Nothing could alleviate Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey's passionate hate of the dreaded FUKUS. His Pravda patrons could rest assured, knowing that they have such a loyal sentinel at their beck and call.

Another important development in creative life of Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey is his newly discovered love of long sentences. Observe the example from the above linked piece (where he is especially irked):

Iraq provided a telling preview of what was to come - the wanton breach of international treaties, charters, covenants, resolutions and promises, the targeting of civilian structures with military hardware to then dole out rebuilding contracts, the purposeful theft of resources and historical artefacts, the opening of the concentration camps and the holding of detainees without due legal process, the torture, the sodomy, the urinating in food, the urinating on prisoners... these demonic acts - not one-off breaches by rogue elements but rather, an integral part of policy (water boarding, for instance) - alerted some of us as to the true nature of the FUKUS-Axis (France, UK, US and Israel) and showed us quite how low they can stoop.

I can only imagine the size of his lungs: try to shout the whole quote without stopping for breath and you shall see. I hope you don't doubt that this sentence is written to be shouted, do you?  Oh, and doesn't its rhythm remind you this:



As for the last paragraph of this article, where Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey got tired, most probably losing his breath after all that shouting:

This is the two-tier international community in which we live - a bunch of criminals and those who look on and mutter things about respect for the law. How sickened I feel to belong to the human species at this moment in time.

I would surely want to calm him down a bit: since there are a lot of people who think that Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey doesn't really exist, being a figment of some Russian prankster's imagination, that issue of belonging to human species is highly hypothetical anyway.

So there...

(*) After contemplating the question of the double-barreled name and its possible replacement by an acronym, I came to a conclusion that I can't do it. This name has a life of its own. Unlike its owner.

Spanking Sarah Palin? Maybe, but to spank Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey?

Spanking. A subject that somehow strangely fits that proud double-barreled British name: Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey. Spanking, just like the predilection to double names, seems to have deep roots in the soil of Albion. I hope my British friends wouldn't take it personally, since no offense is intended, but one of the most popular posts on this here blog is Time for some spanking, Bibi? Written three years ago, it is still one of the all time hitters and most of the hits come from UK. All that because of search term "spanking".

Anyhow, let's proceed to another peculiarity of Great Britain: the institution of English Language Teacher abroad. I am ready to be corrected, but it seems already hundreds of years since British seventh sons without any prospects of an inheritance, without any discernible talents and not attractive enough to snag someone's daughter with a dowry, were sent off to foreign parts as English Language Teachers. I don't know much about their full life cycle, it's not a subject widely discussed in literature, but probably at the end of their useful life they were buried in the foreign soil by the last family hosting them, somewhere between the beloved horse (dog) and the garden toolshed.

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, in his own way, continues this tradition. Here is (purportedly) his picture:

Unfortunately, I have no way to establish the authenticity of the picture, since it, just like the whole person, could easily be an invention of some anti-British cult (here are some hints on the subject). But if the real TBH exists, I shall be happy to publish his picture here.

TBH, obviously lacking any talent to speak of and, most probably, not being in line for inheritance, has chosen to become a sort of a modern English Language Teacher, by selling his mediocre ability to write in this language to several Russian media sources, chief of which is Pravda. I have to say, in way of a compliment, that even in the poisonous anti-Western and anti-democratic atmosphere of the yellow tabloid that Pravda became, Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey succeeds to keep the lead as a poisonous anti-Western and anti-democratic hack without any scruples.

It appears that Mr Bancroft-Hinchey developed a passion. This passion is his explosive hate of Sarah Palin. I am not going to defend Sarah Palin here. It's not my business or my inclination, besides she will be perfectly able to do it by herself, giving she can get  close enough to Mr Bancroft-Hinchey for a personal response. It is more about his unusual, even outstanding hate. The first manifestation of this hate I was able to find is this short article Palin – the Devil in disguise (sic!). Even in such a short opus, Sarah got several expletives (and worse) leveled at her:

• Mrs. Nobody know-it-all shreiking [indeed this what he's written - "shreiking"] cow from Alaska
• the joke of American politics, plied with a couple of vodkas before letting rip in front of incredulous audiences
• ridiculous figure
• Mrs. Hockey Mom housewife-cum-small-town gossip merchant and cheap little guttersnipe
• pith-headed little bimbo from the back of beyond
• So next time suppose you keep your mouth shut and while you’re at it, make sure the members of your family keep their legs shut too.

Yeah... not bad for a day's work, is it? Now you know that Pravda's rubles don't come easy. You also know how bad Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey got it for Sarah Palin. So bad that it totally screws up his thought process, whatever there was to start with. Here is his latest opus on Sara: Spankin' Sarah Palin: A clown short of a circus. From the first statement, the author shows that he is deadly serious:

I have already called Sarah Palin a pith-headed bimbo from the back of beyond, in this column. I shall now go one step further.

You can see how proud he is of that "pith-headed bimbo" turn of phrase. Yes, that "pith" shows that he is either British or does his best to play one. After this display of professional (oh well...) pride, our friend Timothy proceeds to the premise of his whole piece. And the premise is so stupid that, aside of following the new wave of expletives, there is no need to read the rest. Here it is:

By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her country's history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral.

This one is a doozy. Really. Either TBH is indeed a Russian parody of a Brit or his 40 years of work for the sewer press have annihilated the last remains of democratic instincts in his puny brain. Only a person to whom the serfdom in the current Russian two-czars-regime seems like a natural environment, could produce such a shining example of nincompoopery. Only a serf's mindset could find an "attack" of the POTUS to be in any sense abnormal. TBH is so incensed by this effrontery that he really goes all out for Obama. Here is how:

• Hockey Mum Sarah ex-Governess of Alaska is famous for her shrill shrieking [this time he got a handle on this difficult word] style...
• a pitifully shallow persona
• a real-life female version of Homer Simpson-cum-Belching Barney at Mo's
• she sets herself up as the dumbest woman on Earth
• Sinister Sarah Palin
• screaming, unrefined oaf with as much class as a searing release of flatulence [Have you notices the mention of class? Speak about double barreled names...]
• a pitifully inadequate anachronism

While he is laughing at Sarah's frequent bloopers:

Sinister Sarah Palin then goes on to insinuate that she is an advocate of cyber terrorism...

If you know what this one means, please let me know.

Now on TBH's total lack of understanding of modern America's problems:

Sarah "We're all Arizonans now" Palin, cracking down on immigrants when the US of A is after all a country formed by...whom?

And another outstanding sample of TBHs' drooling at Obama:

To attack the President of the country at a time when the USA needs to close ranks and stand together to consolidate the enormous strides his intelligent and respectful approach has achieved in building bridges, when her party's period in government bombed them...

It really makes one suspicious: is Obama a Putin's secret buddy, which fact is known only to Putin and to TBH, by any chance? "Enormous strides"... "his intelligent and respectful approach"... wow, it's almost NK style when talking about the one and only Kim... Even Putin rarely gets such a thorough brownnosing.

Whether Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey really exists or is a product of some anonymous Russian joker fertile mind, he might as well be real. He might have some uses, although his ability to insult people is mediocre, due to obvious lack of imagination and brain cells. But, being himself an incontrovertible proof of fallibility of contraceptives, he could be put on display in central cities of China to further reduce the birthrate there. Instead of trying to bite some other people's knees and humping his masters' legs.

Afterword: And Andrew Sallivan enjoys it: Seriously: "it's rip-roaring stuff...". What a perverted joy... Does Mr Sallivan realize whose eruption of excrement he is enjoying so much?

Update: How could I have missed it? Two articles by Matt Gurney, Assistant Editor, Comment, and a member of the National Post Editorial Board. First of all, Matt participated in a debate with this character, so there is a chance he exists. Secondly, a quote that is simply sublime:

This man hates more things than Naomi Klein.

He he he...

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey vs Tony Abbott

Today it seems to be the day to remind you about Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, a man of many talents I have had an opportunity to mention several times.  After dealing very harshly with so called FUKUS, Mr Bancroft-Hinchey turned his main caliber guns in the direction of the Aussies. Oh well, no one can say that Timothy isn't a busy bee. Or that he isn't a loyal attack dog of his deity, one Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. It will be difficult to understand why poor Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott caused so much ire, reading Bancroft-Hinchey's article Tony Abbott: The chip on Australia's shoulder. Because first of all, our Timothy, displaying that he is in as good a fighting shape as ever, shares with us a few excellent examples of his fiery style:

I would advise Russia's President Vladimir Putin to wash his hands carefully and sterilize them after shaking the paw offered to him by Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott at the forthcoming G20 Summit in Brisbane. It is not about Ebola Virus Disease, it is about the disease called insolence and Australia's colonial chip on its shoulder.

And:

Tony Abbott displays a degree of insolence, arrogance and incompetence which mirrors the intrusiveness, belligerence and chauvinism inherent in other members of the Anglo Saxon alliance in NATO.

Do you feel the energy, the unmistakable Bancroft-Hinchey's umpf? Crowning all that with:

When Australia isn't busy crawling around the legs of its colonial master, England or trying to crawl up the anatomy of London's master, Washington, participating in their wars to pick up a few crumbs thrown Canberra's way, its politicians are busy kowtowing to Europe and the USA making stupid and unfounded remarks about Russia.

Only after this avalanche of abuse, comes the reason for it:

And apart from the hand-shaking insult (I seriously hope President Putin washes his hands and sterilizes them after touching the grubby paw of Abbott), we have another example of sheer crass stupidity, namely the statement that "Russia needs to fully cooperate in the investigation into the MH17 atrocity".

Surely you would agree that Timothy deserves a treat from his master?

You can read the rest of that piece, if you can cope with all that raw power and electricity it exudes. Because, as sure as death and taxes, Timothy - aside of this avalanche of abuse, doesn't have any way to justify or circumvent the fact that a Russian missile, launched from a Russian mobile launcher by a Russian officer, downed a civilian aircraft, taking hundreds of innocent lives. Well, aside of this pathetic wail:

The answer to that bullshit is that the atrocity happened on Ukrainian soil and it is not yet clear whether the aircraft was downed by a missile possibly fired from a position behind rebel lines, possibly not, possibly fired by rebels, possibly fired by Ukrainian Government or paramilitary forces or else downed by a military aircraft flown by the Ukrainian Air Force. In fact, why has it taken the UK so long to come clean about what happened? Does it take that long to doctor the black boxes, eh whatty what?

As if all that eruption of crapola wasn't enough, Timothy kept this up, adding a few colorful ideas:

How would the average Russian respond to Tony Abbott saying he would 'shirtfront' Vladimir Putin?

Well, any Russian or anyone else for that matter would question whether Abbott made the remark before or after lunch. If he made it before lunch then either he is childish or mentally challenged and if he made it after lunch then he is incompetent.

How would Vladimir Putin react to being 'shirtfronted'?

I cannot speak for Vladimir Vladimirovich but if I were him, I’d grab the bastard that did it, slam him over my shoulder, place my boot in his face and ask “You were saying…?”

Vladimir Putin is world-renowned for his judo expertise -- would he use that on Mr Abbott if he was 'shirtfronted'?

Well, I cannot speak for President Putin but he certainly has the skills to react adequately to such an act of aggression. I am not saying he would do so, basically because Abbott wouldn’t have the guts anyway. As soon as he saw Putin looking at him he’d triple his laundry bill, suddenly turn white, sit bolt upright and go screaming over to his sister’s house to grab a clean pair of Y fronts.

Good Timothy, good boy, another treat is coming.

And, maybe, later, Vladimir Vladimirovich will let you hump his leg. Just a bit.

Now relax, relax, here is good Timothy...

Alleged mugshot of alleged Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey

9/11 pyrotechnic or Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey reviving dead horses?

The time flies or, possibly even swishes. I have just checked when the last post on the life and deeds of Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey was written on this blog, and that happened an year and a half ago. Granted, most of you don't remember (or simply don't know) that name, as I did (or didn't) know some seven years ago. Of course, being a pale and lazy modern version of Lord Haw-Haw, Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey can't pretend to the former's popularity. After all, he is not a radio broadcaster (thank deity for small favors), just a small cog in Pravda's smelly innards.

And I am not all that sure that Pravda is happy with him lately. Even by the lax standards of this tabloid he became too sloppy, besides being a total loss where imagination is concerned. So bad is his situation in imagination department that he is forced to sloppy fourths, gnawing on some dried-out bones of old conspiracy theories to make a living. Like he has done in a recent article 9/11: The pyrotechnic and explosive link. The article brings up one of the many harebrained 9/11 conspiracy theories, according to which "highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material" was discovered in the debris of the WTC.

Of course, the mere fact that his "discovery" is based on a thoroughly debunked article from 2009 either didn't register in Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey's brain or, which is more likely, he was desperate for a topic. (For a good sample of debunking this crap go there). The true measure of our hero's desperation could be also seen in his poor sleight of hand when fiddling with facts, like in this sentence:

One of the editors resigned after the publication of this particular article, claiming publication did not have his permission but the fact remains it is a journal which publishes works from recognized scientists.

That when the real story is that Prof. Marie-Paule Pileni "accused the publisher of printing it without her knowledge and that she'd already had suspicions that the "Bentham Scientific" publisher ran pseudo-scientific journals". But this only adds to the general picture of Timothy's* desperation.

All in all, I think that Timothy, who proudly presents himself as "one of the leading English song-writers of the 1980s", should stick to lyrics, esp. with a comic bend, such as the following example he prominently displayed in his recent article on demise of Hugo Chavez:

A visionary like Fidel, Hugo Chávez is freed from his intolerable discomfort but his star and its message will shine forever, lighting the night sky, proof that Heaven has gained an angel.

Stay with funny lyrics, Timothy, and who knows: we may yet  see (and hear) your songs performed in the EuroVision contests. By the Russians, of course, on subjects such as love, freedom, hate of capitalism and the greatness of totalitarian leaders...

(*) Cannot abide that "Bancroft-Hinchey" monstrosity anymore. I shall switch to Tim soon, I feel it in my waters. The way he tends to grow on you and all that...

A short study of hypocrisy

Noun: hypocrisy

1. An expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction
2. Insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have

The definition above comes from my WordWeb dictionary. Effing convenient, you just press a shortcut key and presto! Still, a better definition (by example) of hypocrisy will be "do as I say and not as I do". At least for the purpose of this post here.

It started with a friend (who decided to remain unnamed) sending me a link to an article in Pravda (knowing Russian is a heavy cross sometimes). It appears that the friend does not need my hardly existent expertise in all things Russian, since the article is authored by a person with a double-barreled British name - Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey.

Not knowing Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey from a Brazilian bullfrog and, in general, being wary of double-barreled names and especially their carriers, I have started googling. Thanks deity, Scott Burgess provides here the full and clear definition of this person.

I have just discovered the wonderful Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey of the pravda.ru editorial staff. I really must take readers to task for not having previously informed me of this luminary's work. Mr. Bancroft-Hinchey, who feels that "the main trait that journalists must have is modesty," describes himself as "one of the leading English song-writers of the 1980s." Presumably disenchanted with the glamour of "three Eurovision contests, three albums, two maxi-singles and five singles," he turned to journalism to satisfy his "need to talk and tell."

Scott's article linked above is highly recommended. And hilarious, too.

So, a song writer turned journalist. No problems, it could happen to the best of us. Additional googling, however, shows that, besides being one of the Pravda regulars, our friend Timothy B.H. frequently appears on places like rense dot com, mindfully dot org and other places much, much more odious than even Pravda. And now Timothy makes a case for putting the State of Israel on trial:

The State of Israel is hereby accused of committing War Crimes in the conflict with Hezbollah IN Lebanon (July 12th to August 12th 2006). We present and document four counts where the Geneva Convention has been seriously breached.

Copiously quoting from the Geneva Convention, the man uses a highly polished legal language (does he have another talent, hitherto hidden?). Of course, the vehicle of this article, the infamous Pravda, the same august organ that used to rain fire and brimstone on Chechnya, is hardly suitable for a discussion of Geneva Convention or, for that matter, of anything human or humane. But not being of a legal persuasion myself, I was in a quandary.

Thankfully, another friend send me another article, by another Brit. This time it is Frederick Forsyth. True, Forsyth could not boast about any songs on Eurovision, albums, singles or doubles etc. But he can be proud of a long and colorful career as a reporter and a writer, and is an ex-RAF pilot to boot.

And the article saves me a lot of work answering the odious piece by and odious person in an odious media organ, so here are some key quotes from it:

It must surely be true that the level of lies and hypocrisy that a society can tolerate is in direct proportion to the degeneration of that culture. Personally I am not particularly pro or anti Israel, pro or anti Arab or pro or anti Islam. But I do have a dislike of myth, hypocrisy and lies as opposed to reality, fairness and truth.

Watching the bombing of Lebanon it is impossible not to feel horror and pity for the innocent civilians killed, wounded or rendered homeless. But certain of our politicians, seeking easy populism and the cheapest round of applause in modern history, have called the Israeli response "disproportionate." Among the politicos are Jack Straw and that master of EU negotiations William Hague.

...

Here is my point. In all those 73 days of bombing Serbia I never heard one British moralist use the word "disproportionate." The entire point of Hezbollah is not to resolve some border dispute with Israel; its aim is to wipe Israel off the map, as expressed by Hezbollah"s master, the crazed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. That aim includes the eradication of every Israeli Jew; i.e. genocide. Serbia never once threatened to wipe the UK off the map or slaughter our citizens, yet Straw, in office in 1999, and Hague, leading the Conservative Party, never objected to Serbia being bombed.

As an ex-RAF officer I am persuaded the Israelis fighter pilots are hitting civilian-free targets with 95% of their strikes. These are the hits no TV network bothers to cover. It is the 5% that causes the coverage and the horror: wrong target, unseen civilians in the cellar, misfire, unavoidable collateral casualties. Unavoidable? Israel has said in effect, "If you seek to wipe us out we will defend ourselves to the death. You offer us no quarter, so we will offer none to you. But if you choose intentionally, inadvertently, or through the stupidity of your government to protect and shelter the killers among yourselves then with deepest regret, we cannot guarantee your exemption."

That's it. Mr Double-Barrel. Take it and swallow it.

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey and the art of misrepresentation

Misrepresentation:

1. A misleading falsehood

2. A willful perversion of facts

A tough word that. Not the toughest, mind you, but early in the morning, before the caffeine started to spread through the old blood vessels, it is a challenge. So when I've stumbled on a Pravda piece titled The Misrepresentation of Sochi in the Western Media, I was kinda intrigued. The author, Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, is not a stranger to this blog. Being as he is a past master of the Pravda style misrepresentation, I've expected the article to provide some hands-on advice to beginners.

But no, the article is one long lament about the execrable coverage of the Sochi Olympic Games by American press. It starts with the sweeping:

Surprise, surprise, surprise. The US media almost without exception concentrated on toilets, light bulbs, stray dogs as much as, or more than, the sport, the celebration, the party and the spectacle which is Sochi, the XXII Winter Olympic Games. It comes as no surprise that the showing of the Opening Ceremony in the USA was a study in manipulation.

So why should I raise that article from the dead almost a month after it was published? Because of another passage in it, pregnant with meaning and foreboding.

Usually the passion and general temperature of Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey's articles tend to rise toward the end, culminating in a paragraph or two of Wagnerian righteous rage. That one is no exception, and the third paragraph from the end carries a sublime passage:

Russian security forces, like their American counterparts, work daily to help protect the lives of ordinary citizens and their right to go about their daily lives without being confronted by some demonic maniac yelling Allahu Akhbar and going to meet his virgins. The difference is that Russia does not invade foreign lands and conduct a foreign policy which walks hand-in-hand with terrorism.

Yeah. It is March 4, 2014 right now, and some Russian soldiers are busy like little bees, providing brotherly assistance to the oppressed Russian citizens of Crimea as we speak. Talk about "misrepresentation " some more, folks. Please...

And notice that I didn't even mention the hilarious finale of that article:

How childish...as if anyone in the USA these days believes a word their media tell them anyway, given that most people have access to the Net and to places where they can read the truth, like Pravda.Ru.

Pravda means truth, after all, as we all know by now.

Update: fresh from the press, a new opus by Bankrupt-Hinchey, the servant of Pravda/Truth:

Before we have another display of butt-faced ignorance, pig-headed arrogance and unadulterated, jingoistic, xenophobic and chauvinistic bilge from Mr. Kerry and his NATO sidekicks, let us make one thing crystal clear...

Etc. This is Pravda's answer to critics of Crimean invasion... oh well.

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey: so what's going on with him?

The rising volume of hits on Simply Jews with the search string "Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey" is showing an unusual interest in this rather obscure subject.

I have indeed written a post related to this odious character some time ago. However, not being much into western lackeys of Pravda, I've quickly forgotten that episode.

What on earth could have happened to this blighter to be of possible interest to anyone? An answer will be appreciated.

Update: no need, I have found it: Vancouver: Mutton Dressed as Lamb. Yeah, it's a choice selection of excrement to throw at anyone. Want a sample? Here:

We all know Canada has problems with the future lines drawn on Arctic maps and we all know Canada lives in the shadow of its larger neighbour to the south. The abject cruelty shown by Canadian soldiers in international conflicts is scantily referred to, as indeed is the utter incapacity of this county to host a major international event, due to its inferiority complex, born of a trauma being the skinny and weakling bro to a beefy United States and a colonial outpost to the United Kingdom, whose Queen smiles happily from Canadian postage stamps.

Maybe it is this which makes the Canadians so…retentive, or cowardly.

Cruelty? Cowardly? Retentive?

Are there any Canucks near the bastard to clean his clock for him?
