Off today with what seems a huge expedition to Edinburgh for the Festival – the company for Medea is about 20 people, and the scenery is, err, large (and beautiful).
No time to blog. Just to note that Hague is still pathetically claiming not to know that the Libyan “government” he recognised just murdered its own general. Meanwhile Pamela Geller has attempted to hide the evidence by deleting and editing her published encouraging correspondence with an anti-Muslim extremist in Norway who was building a secret “arms cache” – but she has been caught red-handed by another kind of cache, a web cache! See the wonderful comments under yesterday’s “Who funded Breivik” thread. Congratulations to the team!
Next post from Edinburgh, hopefully tomorrow.

Have a fine time at the Fringe, Nadira, Craig and all.
Good luck to Nadira and haste ye back. Will you be visiting the newly reopened National Museum of Scotland? Looks good but I bet there are fewer exhibits than before on display. This always seem to happen when museums and galleries are modernised and made minimalist.

Enjoy the festival and good luck to Nadira with the Play.
Here is a surreal take on the News Reports about Norway in the US.

Glenn Greenwald just tweeted a link to your “Who funded Breivik” thread. (He has nearly 52,000 followers.)
Yes, you’re right about museums, Mary; I haven’t visited this one yet though. I quite liked the dusty, high-brow cornucopic clutter of the old-style museum. The new style tends to be a bit corporate for my tastes. It seems difficult to imagine the presence of ghosts in these new-style public spaces. I think that the potential for ghosts is very important. ‘Ghost-friendly environments’, one might say, a new ecological parameter, perhaps? Nonetheless, children do enjoy engaging with the new-fangled ‘game’ things and with the young staff members who get them drawing, etc. It gives the parents a bit of a break, you know, to gaze into the Ming jar and if it engages kids early… well, that’s good. Kids, though, will tend to engage with what they’ve got, so long as there is room for their imaginations to develop and run wild. Truthfully, when I was a child, I liked to engage with the cornuopic clutter! I mean, a T. Rex is a T. Rex is a T. Rex. But as you might imagine. I was definitely slightly inclined towards the shy, bookish end of the spectrum.

Anon, thanks. Did you e-mail me via my website? It’ll take a little time to get sent to me, maybe a few hours. I’ll let you know, here, if I don’t get it by tomorrow.
.
Now, since we’re talking Scotland and summer (the two terms right now, for once, do not seem entirely antithetical!), here is the website of the excellent band of musician, academic and political activist, Taimur Khan, whom I had the honour of meeting last night when he was in Glasgow. I would’ve publicised it here for those living locally, but t was short notice, I found out only at 18:15 hours that he’d be giving a talk and performance at 19:00 hrs!).
.
They’re from Pakistan and are unashamedly left-wing. Just to get you into the ‘Fringe’ spirit, as it were! Sadly, he’s returning to London today. He’s based in Lahore. The band is called ‘Laal’ (‘Red’). The response to this band from young people in Pakistan (and India, btw) suggests that there is ground for a left-wing redistributive mass movement in that country. Some links:

And Craig and Co – have a safe voyage to Colchis!
Enjoy the Festival – and best of luck to Nadira. Wish I was there. 🙂
this is awesome research, someone should make a youtube video exposing the neocon Geller

Suhayl Agree on museums. The worst example is the revamped British Museum Great Court, an echoing barren waste of space. OK when you reach the exhibits of course. I see that they have this coming which will annoy some of the contributors here.

You mention Pakistan. In that context, this infuriated me this morning when I read this about a Bliar follower who has feathered his nest at the taxpayers’ great expense by his secondment to DfID.

Ref DfID, Wee Duggie lately of that department and his pal Ed Miliband give their lists of meetings with the media, mostly NI. Tessa Jowell p.23 seems to be very friendly with the Freud Murdoch pair judging from her entries.

‘Tamiur Rahman’, I meant, not ‘Taimur Khan’, re. the musician to whom I alluded, earlier.
.
The Hajj exhibition at the British Museum looks great; I’m sure it’ll be really well done.
.
Yes, I mean, why exactly does Pakistan need ‘consultants’ from the UK to advise them on how to set up a proper education system? Frankly, much of the education system in the UK isn’t exactly what it used to be – though of course, it’s relative. The Cubans would do it far more economically, but I guess language might be an issue there. In fact, really, the expertise to set up a decent education is, and always has been, already in the country and/or in the diaspora. What’s happening just sounds like a prolonged junket. I’m not saying they won’t do any good, or that the current Govt in Pakistan isn’t trying to do something, at least (albeit that they are severely constrained by their own feudal reactionary constituency and by the army, by the continued Islamist assault from within and by NATO’s ongoing imperial action).
.
Pakistan needs a redistributive progressive revolution undertaken by workers and peasants, large-scale land reform with mass literacy and health programmes, the provision of basic amenities. A 10-year programme would achieve much. These things work in developing countries. You don’t need expensive education consultants from imperialist countries to do that. Quite the opposite.
Have fun in Edinburgh Craig, my best wishes to Nadira and who else might show up during the festival.
As for us, here, we must inform others of this new research, the link by Wikispooks does make this more plausible as a rightwing organised terror action, I forwarded all three links to friends and shall put them on FB today.
Ms Geller, just as Ms. Phillips, should be invited to the police station, have their computers seized, she should answer as to why she deleted what was already saved somewhere else and why she did not report this terror action in the planning stages.
As far as I’m concerned, her action rally in Oslo really spoke to him, he was so impressed that he got in touch with her straight afterwards. Did he meet her in Oslo? we need a Norwegian sleuth to join us.
Who knows what other people got in touch after her initial contact with Anders, via phone or email, his computer must be at the police by now. But do they want to look, how many masons are there high up in Norway’s police?
They just announced that Breivig had other targets, including the royal palace, as yet no news as to previous days CCTV, i.e. the gang who inspected the sewers, someone out there might have had the same idea nd looked for it. I think that the bomb must have been installed some yonks ago, leaving only the priming to do, thats what they did the day before.
Who funds Pam Geller? was Shoebat the middle man who provided the funds? who was Shoebat’s handler? the further one goes the more gates open up.
Has Gladio got any masonic links? How come not a single freemason wants to volunteer and bear witness for Norway?, not so publically spirited now aren’t they.
Ingo: “Has Gladio got any masonic links?”
.
You’re kidding, right?
.
Search: P2 Gladio …
Aah, ‘Chamber Street’ Museum! I hope they still have all these buttons to press I remember when I was a kid. They activated machinery in model coal mines, pistons on big locomotives etc.
As for Geller, has anything come out about this in the mainstream press? – I don’t buy a paper these days. And if not, how can it be more widely publicised?
Thanks Scouse Billy, just read this lot, P” and Gladio are married, they have the best experience in planting amd making devices, with some weird pseudo anarchist’s working for them.
just posted this on the other thread.

Glad you explained that Wendy.

Have just seen an apologist for HMRC on the inadequacy of their service to tax payers. He was well named – Mr Mike Clasper. Chairman previously CEO of BAA now Spanish owned.
http://hmrcisshite.blogspot.com/2008/06/nearly-man-always-bridesmaid.html
.
We heard today the the police are taking no action in many reported crimes. Too difficult to trace culprits, etc WFT is going on with those taxes that Mr Clasper manages to collect.

“Here is an issue that needs a lot more scrutiny: Craig Murray, the former British Ambassador to the U.N., and Justin Raimondo, both superbly examine the potential help received by accused Oslo attacker Anders Behring Breivik from the network of Muslim-hating far-right activists. I summarized one aspect of their excellent arguments here (Geller’s deletion of the reference to “stockpiling weapons” in Norway described there occurred this month, apparently in the last 24 hours). In an age where Muslims are swept into intense law enforcement investigations and even prosecutions for even the most tenuous links to those who commit violence, the seemingly pervasive indifference to Breivik’s possible support network is revealing indeed.”

Mary: that speech by Kennedy is often and inexcusably quoted out of context. He’s asking the press to stop publishing militarily sensitive information, that’s all. If you are in any doubt just read the transcript of the whole speech.

Look at Dreoilin’s quote above, and see how incorrect information spreads rapidly on the Internet. Craig has become “former British Ambassador to the U.N” rather than Uzbekistan. This error is now repeated on multiple blogs.
MJ Thanks for that information. I did wonder why there was no description or link shown. I did try googling a few extracts but did not get the source. You must have come across the same thing happening before to have answered so quickly.

Clark I noticed that too and dropped a line to Common Dreams but as you say the error is there forever in black and white.

So often that I have taken to keeping a link to the original in my favorites folder so I can fire it off at a moment’s notice.
lol, those two like to feel imporant. But reprinting some guys lunacy about “arms caches”? I guess they are no better, so won’t know 🙂
Even that Rageh Omar has this weirdo R Spencer as an “critic” in a recent documentary for BBC. They must be doing something right to get away with their madness this long and this far.
Chilcot Inquiry, hope this is true ?

He will find a way out!!!.
look I’m known for not correcting my stuff, many a times I have cringed reading what I wrote earlier.
But, in a way its irrelevant, not because of etikette, always demanding and in stupor to itself, but for the beauty of our brains, which automatically de-scramble our gobbledigook, a genetic ability we all have and it somehow has turned me into a lazy scum… drei tonnen voll Entschuldigungen.
But I would never make a mistake as such, mix UN with Uzbekistan. another manifestation of lazy journalism, lack of attention and focus, too much coffee/wine at lunchtime, they just can’t be a””d about it.
But he should be, just imagine, Craig for one year as Britains ambassador to the UN, what could he achieve, worth a good nights dream thinking about it.
night all.
Guest, they may be ‘leaking’ that ‘Blair will be damned to the 9th layer of Hell’ as a softening-up measure, a little like, when they announce that, say, ‘all schools will be permanently privatised’ and everyone gets hot-under-the-collar and we get arguments on ‘Question Time’ b/w members of the elite whom we cheer on and so on during the days of the big circus. And then, when the actual measure is announced, it turns out that only half the schools are being privatised, and everyone says, ‘Oh well, that’s not so bad, then’. So perhaps, Blair will be assigned a little light Purgatory – which will be like water-off-a-duck’s back (I initially mis-typed the vowel in the word, ‘duck’!). I mean, it’s not going to recommend criminal charges, is it now? No. The Mail says, it’s not even been written yet and the criminals have a chance to respond before it’s written.
.
After it’s published, we will see Blair and probably Campbell too (he is so one with the likes of Rebekah Brooks, isn’t he?) on Big TV, doing his ‘wounded angel’ thing.
.
Look at Bush and Blair in that pic in the newspaper – they look like men out of a catalogue, fake men. Bush wriggled out of military service in the 1960s, yet he wears a military jacket, while Blair is trying so hard to look like harmless ‘Middle England Male’, ‘the middle-class-man-next-door’, it makes you wonder whether the man next door might also be a mass murdering psychopath!
.
But let’s wait and see.
It may also be that the establishment is trying to demonstrate to the public that they are holding these criminals to account. Look, we know what happened. They ought to be prosecuted under international law. They ought now to be in jail cells at the Hague. That would be holding them to account. It’s not going to happen. This is another PR measure.
