Only Sweat the Small Stuff 922


I was called by a journalist yesterday who told me that in Dewsbury six years ago I shared a platform with Baroness Warsi’s now husband at a meeting against the persecution of Muslims. Sadly I couldn’t really help him as at the time I was doing hundreds such events and have only the dimmest of recollections of that one.

It is not merely amusing that Cameron refers Warsi for investigation for allegedly pocketing a couple of thousand quid while protecting Hunt who tried so hard to shepherd the Murdoch BSkyB bid past the winning post, while pretending to referee the event.

Nor is the lesson just that a Muslim woman will always be expendable while a fully paid up member of the ruling class will be less so.

The truth is that to trip up an MP over a little cash does not threaten the system. To tackle the massive institutional corruption by which corporate interests control the British state is a different question altogether.

Hunt is of course not the only case not to be referred. Nor was the Adam Werritty debacle, where rather than the proper investigative procedures Cameron organised a tidy little stitch-up by Gus O’Donnell which omitted almost all the key facts and particularly did not say what the entire scheme was about – the promotion of the interests of Israel. The Murdoch Empite, the Israeli lobby, these are amongst the interests that actually run the exploited citizenry of this poor wracked old country. Every now and then glimpses of truth emerge.

But must not be pursued.

    If people understand the origins of Judaism then the entire edifice of Zionism will collapse. The story of Zionism, Judaism and it’s Eastern European creators is so well understood that I simply can’t believe that people would rather stick their head above the parapet to repeat known falsities and lies rather than do their own research.
    .
    Shlomo Sands (professor of history, Tel Aviv) book “The Invention of The Jewish people” might get some of you to at least break that conditioning you have had from a lifetime of exposure to lies and falsities. Some of you even appear to be running scared of the Lobby. Pathetic, no wonder they have such contempt.
    .
    The problem you fear is that when you understand this you too will see that there is no alternative but to revoke Israel’s statehood and give the land back to it’s rightful owners. Now that their is no Soviet block the Jews should go back to Gerogia, Russia, Poland, Ukraine etc.

    Clark,

    “puppet-controller, the ideas that you propagate, deceiving. Blah blah balh.”

    “This seems a discourteous way to treat the people whose opinions you wish to influence.”
    .
    I don’t want to influence people, I just like showing them how messed up the public discourse is about the origins of Jews and the reflexive knee-jerking at any mention of ‘Jews’ – the East Europeans movement created in the 9th Century and absolutely nothing to do with the Hebrews of antiquity.

    And we know, (most of us) about the Hebrews. No need to bang on about it. Obsessive assaults on the verity of the Bible are as boring as an obsessive insistence that it is literally true.

    Here we go. Destabilize it, demoralize the staff, destroy it.

    Public satisfaction with the NHS has dropped by a record amount, the British Social Attitudes Survey suggests.
    .
    The poll indicates satisfaction fell from 70% to 58% last year – the largest annual drop since it started in 1983.
    .
    The King’s Fund think-tank sponsored the NHS questions put to more than 1,000 people and said their answers appeared to be a comment on reforms and spending squeezes and not care quality.
    .
    The government said the survey contradicted its poll among patients.

    The BBC are doing their best to undermine and subvert Putin. I assume that it because he is not toeing the line on Syria.
    .
    We were treated to this segment on Radio 4 Today
    .
    – 0831
    In Moscow, tensions have been rising ahead
    of an anti-government rally due later today,
    and police yesterday searched the homes of
    several opposition activists seizing phones,
    computers, cash and even passports. The BBC’s
    Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow and
    Sergei Markov, a former advisor to Vladimir Putin,
    gives his view.
    .
    and now it is in black and while on the website.

    Nothing for him to worry about then. Knowing personally what the BBC’s ‘best’ is he can sleep sound tonight.

    PM and his wife forget their child in the pub, must have been a good tipple served, and the whole of the BBC goes into spamodic overdrive weithb tales of ‘how I lost my child’, a child view of their parents after being ‘lost’, the most funniest lost child story.
    But why was this a story and why is it trodden out so vehemently?

    Is it because real news would be too much to contemplate as a mornings exchange over the coffee table, what other news is pushed away fro this emotional claptrap one wonders.
    And when an important item of news comes along, the comment section is turned off.

    Thanks Mary – Although I realise it won’t get published – I have commented on the Beeb’s Europe site:
    .
    ‘Looks like the BBC’s best shot at undermining and subverting President Putin for his humanitarian stance on the US supported rebel massacres in Syria.

    Remember Iraq? Remember Libya? Children mutilated, babies deformed, teens orphaned. If the world succumbs to air strikes by NATO in Syria you can put some blame on the BBC, the people’s State’s broadcasting channel for it’s insane propaganda.’

  • ***Popular Belief

    Sky News is reporting that President Assad “is planning another massacre of civilians”.
    .
    Amazing sources, should win some sort of award for journalism for that one.
    .
    Amazing how the media is totally un-curious about how President Assad has gone from the most Westernised Arab leader with large popular support to a raving homicidal maniac, despised by every Syrian alive, in just a few short months – where are the talking head psychiatrists and the like?

    I fully expect to see a report in the next few days claiming that Assad is sacrificing children to Ba’al and is drinking their blood.

    Mary,
    Frothing at the mouth is exactly what it’s supposed to bring on.You’ll notice it in the daily press too WHEN they permit comments.
    You can imagine banks of young people with god knows how many alias and logins fighting both sides of the argument just to keep the focus on how hard done by one country from the rest of the world is.Holocaust begat anti-semitism.
    A bit like MSG at chinese restaurants, we can only hope someone changes the recipe in the future.
    Craigs blog must be very tempting.
    The real anti semites are those that destroy thousand year old pastoral lifestyles in Israel. And we know who they are.

  • Komodo

    “Are these posts from the new multi-handled contributor some sort of double bluff from one of these students to get us all frothing at the mouth, to join in and thus to give the blog an ‘anti-semitic’ label. I just wondered.”

    Probably. Antisemitism, or anything that can be stuffed into that particular grab-bag, is essential to the Zionist vision, as several leading Zionists have stated openly. Without it, there is no need for Israel…

    Stepping up the BS against Syria. They want it bad — whoever they are.

    Yeah, Assad will be wearing a necklace of child skulls next. Reminds me of the crap about Iraqi soldiers throwing Kuwaiti babies from their incubators.

    “Do you advocate any other mass deportations of whole populations based upon ethnic background and/or descent?”
    .
    No, only those that have illegitimately taken occupation under the Israeli law of right of return simply because they are not returning and have no legal claim to the land whatsoever. Israel adamantly insist that Pals give up the exact same right simply because of their religion and/or race.
    .
    30% of Israeli Jews were not born in Israel, and we know for a fact that Israeli Jews are not the descendants of the ancient Hebrews so how can they be returning?
    .
    My compromise solution is that Israel withdraws to the 1948 borders that were defined by the UN, signs the NNPT, gives up the claims of “Jewish” state and retrospectively implement all UN resolutions. Then maybe they can take their place in the world with other similar sized nations and resolve their problems without threatening to destroy the planet or setting nation at war with each other. Is that too much too ask?
    .
    The Palestinians have every right to govern themselves in their own land with dignity. It is the Pals who are descendants of the Hebrews which probably explains Israel’s desire to exterminate them at every opportunity.

    .
    But that’s not going to happen is it because God has chosen them to rule over all the nations and that is what they intend doing and it’s not a secret. This is the Zionist dream and their illegitimate nation state, born in lies and deceit, is the first step to realising it. Zionism should have ended with the creation of Israel, the fact it is as busy as ever should be a genuine concern to all people.

    *** ***, from what I have read so far about Stuxnet, it was very specifically targeted at uranium enrichment centrifuge control systems, to the point that it checked for a signature in the target software to ensure that it did not execute in any other environment. I have not yet watched Ralph Langner’s presentation, but it has convinced Bruce Schneier of just this:

    Another thread hijacked….if ***spamtroll ever supplied something new, it would gain perhaps a tenth of Mary’s credibility. Its “compromise solution” to the Palestinian problem is to propose a return to the 1948 borders, signing the NNPT, and retrospectively (!) observing the 140 or so UN resolutions of which Israel is in breach.
    .
    It is being facetious, obviously.
    .
    It will work from this position to trying to obtain first acceptance, then doubts about, the next choice – 1968 borders, withdrawal from occupied territories, limited disclosure of nuclear capability to close allies, perhaps – and continue patiently to obtain the happy state where the posters it has targeted agree that, in practice, Israel will just have to stay where it is and if possible expand in the direction of the Euphrates.
    .
    Wrong blog, pal.
