A “Lib Dem” minister just told Sky News he was approving new nuclear power stations to promote green jobs. If anybody ever votes for these lying bastards again I shall be disconsolate.

Interesting post on Medialens, suggesting that the kids watching Newsround are better informed about climate change, by the BBC, than those listening to its flagship Today program.

@ Mary :
Mr Rattsani now works mainly for Iranian Press TV.

Don’t try it on, dear.
“Noisy willful ignorance about the reality we face, is just as bad as encouraging inaction. That is what you are doing in effect Fred, you are encouraging the world to fall apart around you by rejecting the knowledge and commonsense which can put it together.”
The reality is that windmills don’t work when the wind isn’t bowing and don’t give me the “always blowing somewhere” crap because it’s provably not true.
They are not a solution, they are just a scam.
Evidence without prejudice is an oxymoron yet in the fog of war proof is born out of human fallibility.
On a biophilia planet the events of the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus that led to nearly 1.2 million residents fleeing their homes may well have sealed the fate of UKUSIs manipulation in Syria.
Graphic video of war:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=gtM4Bx3Hxjc#!
Interestingly the BBC headline read:
A Palestinian refugee camp in the Syrian capital Damascus has been attacked, reportedly by war planes, activists say.
Speaking in Amman, the head of the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) Antonio Guterres said the number of refugees in Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon could rise from more than 500,000 at the moment to an estimated 1.1 million by June 2013.
He said the worst case scenario predicted a possible 1.8 million refugees.
“This is a brutal conflict that is having dramatic, tragic humanitarian consequences. Both the Syrian people and those countries need and desire enhanced international solidarity,” he said.
Despite Habbakuk’s thinking that Press TV or RT are somehow to the detriment of viewers, I think they’re a breath of fresh air compared to the tiresome and repetitive propaganda of Western media.
They both puncture that cosy little narrative that the West has constructed for itself.
And that has to be a good thing. It’s competition from an alternative perspective at the very least, and that has to be a good thing too.
Don’t try it on Dear…WTF….what a wee shit it is…where the fuck is Jon..what the fuck is going on..Well NOW i am in the Que behind nevermind.

Habbakuk and Resident Diaaident,
You’re an acute and childish embarrassment.
And group stalkers too,as far as i can tell.
How pathetic.
Fred there are kinds of farms to wind farms, with very similar variability in output characterisitics and non trivial storage requirements.
You are resorting to nonsense logic which if applied to all farms would have you saying, everyone just has to eat less – like you do fishing by the Sea or wotnot.

Thats a change of pace from last night Brian!
Anyway, ive drunk the BBCs poison recently, (BBC3’s may be as embarrassed as the rest of us by their associates manias) Ive watched the first two episodes of their new supposedly groundbreaking drama called “In The Flesh” on zee player.
It does seem groundbreaking and different to me. Its about people suffering from PSD ‘Partially Deceased Syndrome’, they need medicated or they become clumsy murderous zombies again.
The drama has begun by centering on empathising with a zombie in remission, who is moved back into his family home, and on his memories of murderous mania, and his plight against social rejection now and the HVF an “anti-rotter” vigilant group.
Its starting out as a very strange but oddly realistic and challenging drama, which is dealing sensitively with some grave themes. “Uncomfortable Escapism perhaps” Its not chirpy and funny like the rather loveable ‘Being Human’ series, but so far i think its promising new… art.
About the all the hubakaboo,
I thought Jon put a lot of effort into instilling raised sensibilities and good argumentation i think, and did exceptionally well considering the difficulties in weilding such judgement and authority. Very difficult to reproduce. Now it is just open season it seems. Genuine people targetted have good right to be upset and supported. It is most indulgent and affirming to mostly ignore it and force it to drum up all of its own hullaballo.
Aye Crab..i have a had a suicidal time of it myself..the reiki thing came from being a naturist ..We brought our kids up..running free n wild on an island in Scotland..and i acually cured some friends…using Reiki….

No problem with having alternative viewpoints, Herbie – as long as you don’t always take them for gospel.

Sorry OT.
Goodness and light seem a distance away.
Ben Franklin I did not understand when you said – ‘I’m not a big supporter of the Aristocracy, but Harry seems to want to honor his mother’s memory. Go for it Harry!’
Were you supporting his private lifestyle or his military activities? If the latter, do you think she wanted her youngest son to be trained to kill? And to hear him say ‘A life for a life’ or similar, describing his outlook when speaking in a country that we have invaded.
Do you remember what she thought about people and children being killed and her work to eliminate land mines?
Warrior Games. Is that what the USUKIsNATO forces have been playing in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, North Africa and now covertly in Syria?

Remember he is a role model to many youngsters and receives ample publicity/propaganda. As for his Sentabale charity, its rather schizoid of him and hypocritical to be employed to be able to kill brown skinned children in one continent and to be helping brown skinned children in another.
Interesting new wrinkle in US war propaganda: The NY Times ran an editorial
( http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/conlaw/2013/03/drone-attacks-outside-the-ongoing-conflict-zone.html )
that purports to address the international law bearing on drones. They can no longer keep up the pretense that legal authority is whatever the president dreams up.
The editorial examines the “secret” bombing of Cambodia as a precedent (because nothing matters but American precedent, right?) However, in the wider world outside the US, the significance of the bombing of neutral Cambodia is not that it was secret but that its outrageous illegality prompted the adoption by acclamation of UNGA Res. 3314 (XXIX), the definition of aggression. (The NYT is true to form in ignoring this event – while the resolution was being drafted, the Times ran sneering stories about how nobody went to the meetings.)
The definition of aggression matters now because thanks to drones, the US command structure stands accused of aggression by the government of Pakistan. And this makes irrelevant hash of all its legal woolgathering. When you’re accused of aggression, nobody cares what legal theory you pulled out your ass. The elements of the crime of aggression,
http://www.icc-cpi.int/iccdocs/asp_docs/Resolutions/RC-Res.6-ENG.pdf
in Article 8 bis, which simply restate universal-jurisdiction law, require only that the perpetrator was aware of the factual circumstances. There is no requirement to prove that the perpetrator has made a legal evaluation. Just the facts. Gonzales or Koh can’t get your nuts out of this zipper.
So this editorial is a new variation of the frantic statist pretense that the US makes up its own laws. But America unsigned the Rome Statute and now jus ad bellum is out of America’s hands.
Fantasia
What about those who materially assist the aggressors , UK, Saudi, Israel for example? Presumably Saudi is there to disguise the fact that the real target of drone strikes is Islam. But Saudi has not been able to control this activity taking place from their own territory.
A chilling document Fantasia examined here:
http://openchannel.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/04/16843014-justice-department-memo-reveals-legal-case-for-drone-strikes-on-americans?lite&preview=true%22
Michael Isikoff clearly concludes the memo judges that the U.S. government can order the killing of American citizens if they are believed to be “senior operational leaders” of al-Qaida or “an associated force” — even if there is no intelligence indicating they are engaged in an active plot to attack the U.S.
Israel’s latest offense against the Palestinians. So calculated. So cold. So cruel.
Israeli security forces spray ‘Skunk’ at Palestinian homes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-njv7RJqtRM
Anthony Lawsons’s words below are entirely correct. Israel latest offense against the Palestinians
‘Israeli forces have sprayed Palestinian homes in the village of Nabi Saleh with “skunk”* as a punishment for organising weekly protests against the Apartheid Wall built on occupied West Bank land. Human rights watchdog B’Tselem published a video showing Israel’s armoured tanker trucks fitted with “water cannons” which spray the foul fluid at Palestinian protesters.
As president Obama would say: “Core values.”
The Israelis have reached new depths in disgracing themselves in the eyes of the world. This has to be one of the most disgusting kinds of retaliation to free speech and freedom of assembly that one could possible think of.
The people who thought of this are monsters; the people who carry it out are fiends and the people of Israel who allow it to be done are a total disgrace to themselves and everything they believe in.’
~~~
The fact is that this disgusting fluid should be sprayed liberally over the cabals that lead the US/UK/French/Zionist axis. They are evil beyond words.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_%28weapon%29
From our Zionist friend Wyre Davies at the BBC in 2008.
“As unpleasant and as disgusting as it is, being sprayed with Skunk may ultimately be preferable to being hit by a rubber-coated bullet or choking and vomiting under the effects of tear-gas or pepper-spray.”
No choice then Wyre. Not law? Not morality? Not common justice?

Back to Berezovsky. What does ‘consistent with hanging’ mean? Toxicology and other tests are being carried out and results are expected several weeks later.
I read a hatchet piece on him in the Times, when out. Once having had a large staff at the house where he was found dead, he lived there alone apart from a guard/driver who is an Israeli ex special forces operative. There are earlier stories of many young women, some Latvian, being procured for him at London hotels.
It was said in the piece that his car would be driven at 140mph on motorways in convoy with a following security vehicle. Once, when his car was stopped for speeding, a young girl was in the back seat with him. The police were not satisfied with the explanation provided but took no action.
His ex-wife owns the house.
Craig methinks Habba needs to be told to fuck off (like you did to Kempe). NOT ONE POST of any note, apart from the understandable ones on Michael Winner,Kouchner and Dershowitz of course!

Right, the permanent state’s preferred approach is to use a satellite as a cutout for USG aggression. Failing that, you make the victim ask for it: find some random shmoe in the target country and get him to sign a letter asking, Please bomb us. That trick didn’t fly in Cambodia, and Ben Emmerson is exposing it again in Pakistan.
