Only Sweat the Small Stuff 922

 in Uncategorized by

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.

    Nobody has ever been in any doubt of your determination to remove Assad. Nobody has ever been in any doubt about your cause. You have already made takfir in your heart of all who try to go by law. After you win, will you restore Law? No, you will impose your own malice and ahwa/ whims. We are witness against your lies, all of us here.

  • I was born free to live

    Guano,
    How can you be witness against “my lies”, if you don’t even know me?
    How can you speak on behalf of all here, and who are you to take such responsibility?
    I placed the fact out here about crimes of Assad’s regime and his murderers, what is your fact against me? If I am not mistaken you moan almost in every of your comment about how you became muslim and how your wife does smth that you don’t like, or smth like this, but do you know that in Islam accusing someone in “lies” without proof is one of the greatest sins? Perhaps, not. Probably, you are wasting your time trying to accomodate Islam to your corrupt ideas, eh?

    “The UK, A Country of Second Chances
    .
    We all know that David Cameron likes to give people, (well, some people anyway), second chances, with this being his excuse for giving Andy Coulson the job as The Conservative Party’s Director of communications despite him leaving the News of The World under the cloud of the phone hacking scandal, but now it’s appearing that giving second chances is becoming a guiding principle when it comes to the employment of people his government employ to carry out his policies with Mike O’Donnell’s appointment as Chief Medical Officer of Atos health care in March of this year being a brilliant example of this.
    .
    You may ask why is this yet another example of giving somebody a second chance?
    .
    For those of you who don’t know, Mike O’Donnell was also Chief Medical Officer of Unum from March 2000 to September 2010 with this being the period when Unum were dragged through the US courts in a massive class action where the California Department of Insurance Commissioner, John Garamendi, stated that, “Unum Provident is an outlaw company. It is a company that has operated in an illegal fashion for years”. By 2007, the American Association for Justice identified Unum Provident as, “The second worst insurance company in the US”, and the company was fined over $30 million dollars for this. They were even, until 2008, banned from carrying out business in over 13 US states, something Unum is now using their complex business structure to deny was anything to do with them as a company, with them saying it was somebody else called Unum. (A bit like the ridiculous not guilty claims you hear of where despite being clearly identified by several eye witnesses the accused says, “It wasn’t me Guv, it was my twin brother” in court), with all this happening on the watch of, yes, the same Mike O’Donnell.
    .
    Who next are we going to get at the helm of other private companies the government bring in to implement their policies you may ask?
    .
    Peter Sutcliffe, (The Yorkshire Ripper), heading up a private company to sort out the problem of prostitution in our society? Rose West heading up a private company to sort out the wayward girls in our society? Perhaps I shouldn’t be giving them ideas, they may even decide to try and bring Harold Shipman back to life and put him at the helm of a company employed to sort out the problems of OAP’s living too long in our society.
    .
    You couldn’t make it up, could you ?”

    It’s best not to believe any of this propaganda coming out of Syria. We’ve seen all this nonsense so many times before, and the only people who pretend to convinced by it are those with skin in the game. We do know that people are being slaughtered and killed but mainly because the west has a current interest in Syria.
    .
    When the west takes an interest we know that people die, often horribly, and we know that Clinton is prepared to publicly celebrate such deaths.
    .
    The next time you see Obama or Clinton or any of the rest of their gang around the world you can be sure that they are more deserving of the demonization currently heaped on Assad. That’s one thing we do know for sure.
    .
    It’s so much worse that our western leaders engineer these depravities and slaughters purely for their own geopolitical ends, and it’s sad that we don’t quite see them for what they are.
    .
    The banking crises and these unending wars are very much of western manufacture and to a purpose. In many ways this barbarianism is one of the few things we’re really good at.

    Oh it’s being cranked up. The bloodlust is building. There are those drooling with anticipation as the Syrian turkey is dragged squawking to the table.
    Are there elections later this year in Israel and America, by any chance? Best to wrap up the slaughter long before then.

    Trouble is, no-one here knows what is really happening in Syria. While there is evidence of atrocities by the State, there is equally evidence that the unrest is fomented by the West. There is evidence that Russia continues (as it has historically done) to support Assad, and I think evidence will emerge of active US involvement in the resistance. Tonight I heard ~4 strike aircraft heading east on reheat from Lakenheath (a US base in the UK) between 17-1800 and returning on a reciprocal course at 2220 (local time). For instance.
    .
    Whatever is going on, I’m guessing the victims are the usual ones, people who just wanted a quiet and moderately prosperous life, shot by both sides for reasons wholly outside their control. Whether Assad is overthrown or continues, I am also guessing that events will remain outside the control of ordinary people, however attractive the inducements to join one side or the other. But what our media are presenting is a story of a spontaneous uprising by saints in golden robes against Shaitan himself. We’ve heard this one before. Experience tells us, and we now believe, it doesn’t work that way.

    The SIS are caught up in their own story, pumping up the volume somehow will not cut the mustard with the Joe public, the line in the sand has been drawn, hence all the huffing and puffing is just cheap theatrics. No one is going to subscribe to the hundred years war in this day and age.

    It was the Daily Telegraph of all places that started to gloat about the thousands of UK special services troops on the ground in Libya that had been co-ordinating with Al-Qaida CIA assets in disposing of Gaddafi. They just couldn’t bear the suspense of keeping their dirty little secrets to themselves any longer.
    .
    You post links to films purported to be about Assad’s forces and you are the one who is making statements without evidence, because the voices in the film sound very like actors, same as the phoney Allahu Akbars that litter sound-bites from the Arab spring on the BBC.
    .
    Are you asking for evidence about the activities of my ex-wife?
    She has a full-time job preaching the doctrine of Trinity, having been brought up by parents who called themselves, in doctrine at least, Muslim. I am the opposite. Yes I find a lot of Muslims belief that all white people are incapable of being Muslim, and treat us accordingly with racism and worse.
    .
    You believe what you want about the hollywood war movie industry. I believe that political Islam is a total con and as collaborators with the enemies of Islam, by their own definition, they should be killed first. But they change their definitions of what Shari’ah states depending on whether they are making rules for their own activities or other peoples’.
    .
    Many Syrians would rather the devil they know than be subjected by the CIA to a bunch of two-faced liars. Tegishti?

    “The test of a democracy is how you treat people incarcerated, people in jail, and especially so with minors.”

    May 2012 Overview
    This month saw a 6 percent increase in the number of children prosecuted in the Israeli military courts and imprisoned. This is the fifth consecutive month in which a rise in the number of children in detention has been recorded. There has been a 73 percent increase in the number of children held in military detention since December 2011. This month also saw an 18 percent increase in the number of young children (12-15 years) being detained.
    .
    On 15 May 2012, the issue of Palestinian children as young as 12 years being prosecuted in Israeli military courts was again raised in the UK parliament. In her speech to parliament, Dame Joan Ruddock added her voice to calls recommending that no child should be interrogated in the absence of a parent and all interrogations must be audio-visually recorded.
    .
    On 24 May, DCI issued an Urgent Appeal to stop the forcible transfer of Palestinian children to prisons inside Israel in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. In April, 52 percent of child detainees were transferred in violation of the Convention. The proportion of Palestinian adult detainees being transferred in violation of the Convention during the same month was 85 percent.

    Unbelievably, Sky News are following Agent Cameron’s progress from No 10 to the Leveson inquiry by helicopter. He is being portrayed as some sort of solo warrior facing a massive army, having had a day’s coaching from ‘top lawyers’ to prepare him for the interrogation. What tripe.

    For attention of HM the Queen, HRH Prince Andrew and Agent Cameron and HMG next time there are any plans to invite the Bahraini dictators over here.
    .
    A Bahraini appeals court has partially overturned a court ruling sentencing 20 medics to lengthy jail terms for taking part in anti-government protests.
    .
    Nine of the medics were acquitted but one of the doctors, Ali al-Ekri, was sentenced to five years in jail.
    .
    Another was given three years, while a further seven medics were handed jail terms of between a month and a year.
    .
    Two of the medics convicted last year did not appeal – they are thought to have left Bahrain or gone into hiding.

    Ha!
    .
    I was looking Cameron up earlier trying to discover the subject of his thesis/dissertation that got him a 1st class PPE degree at Oxford. I was unsuccesful.
    .
    Obviously I came across Green for whom Cameron was Director of Corporate Affairs, ie a PR man, fixer and spinner.
    .
    The Greens are still around in the form of Tangent Industries of South St Mayfair, net worth £52m. Green is a kind of mini Murdoch.
    .
    This from the Independent 1993 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/profile-the-man-on-top-of-the-box-cash-may-be-king-at-carlton-but-michael-green-is-still-the-boss-writes-nick-gilbert-1482002.html

    ‘For a man who is now in pole position to dominate the future of British commercial television, networking started early. The first Mrs Green was Janet Wolfson, daughter of the immensely wealthy Lord Wolfson, of the Great Universal Stores family. Green, then running a small printing and photographic company, was given the job of turning out many of the millions of GUS catalogues. Another side benefit was getting to know David Young, Janet’s cousin, later a property developer and much later, as ++Lord Young, the Tory minister who helped set up the now infamous Broadcasting Act – from which Green has done so well++.
    .
    Now he knows everybody in television. Michael Grade, the Channel 4 boss, made the main speech at Green’s lavish marriage to his second wife, Tessa Buckmaster, a former employee, who has recently produced a brother for his two daughters by Janet Wolfson. Other friends include Alan Yentob, head of BBC 2, and film executive Linda Agran, who helped produce Minder.’
    .
    Same old. Same old. All those connections have no doubt been very useful to Agent Cameron.
