The Tony Blair House Journal (editor Alan Rusbridger) reports on Kanye West’s disgusting private performance for the Kazakh dictator and his family, and takes a sideswipe at David Cameron for visiting that country.
But peculiarly they fail to mention that Tony Blair receives US $4 million a year as a consultant to the worker murdering Kazakh dictator, and that Alistair Campbell and Jonathon Powell as well as Blair visit to give this support – which has included a behind the scenes campaign to help Nazarbaev win the Nobel Peace Prize, fortunately with no result to date.
Rest in Peace
by Paul Lojeski / September 5th, 2013
.
No need for a Nobel Peace
Prize in a world that loves
death above all else, where
killers pray for salvation
.
under blood-red moons
and liars rule liars with iron
promises of hope and glory.
So cancel the charade,
.
end this pantomime for
nothing noble is worshiped
here, nothing prized but
battlefield slaughter
.
and body counts and where
peace is just a word hiding
in the cruel mouths
of criminals who spit it
.
out softly over descending
caskets: May he rest in peace,
may she rest in peace. May
you rest in peace. Peace?

Passerby, at 11:21am, today: Ha! On the other hand, Passerby, it might also demonstrate that Islam can be very tolerant and accommodating of diversity – that there is that potential. On another thread, I gave a link to an academic whose work explores, among other things, the nature of male-ness in Islam. Here, for interest, it is again:

Omid Safi is another interesting intellectual, who “Safi is a leader of the progressive Muslim movement, which he defines as encompassing a number of themes: striving to realize a just and pluralistic society through a critical engagement with Islam, a relentless pursuit of social justice, an emphasis on gender equality as a foundation of human rights, and a vision of religious and ethnic pluralism.”

Farid Esack is a Muslim South African intellectual who has written some fascinating material.

The Yo Blair video @ G8 St Petersburg 2006. Listen to his conversation with Bush. Watch the banner headlines as the Lebanese journalist speaks to Peter Sissons. Nothing has changed – just different actors.
Bush & Blair G8 Summit Conversation.
Uploaded on 18 Jul 2006
Forget prime minister, Mr Blair, or even plain old Tony. The new way to address the prime minister, we learn, is “Yo Blair”.
That at least is how George Bush greets the PM in private, according to unguarded remarks they both made in front of an open G8 microphone.
We also learn how Mr Blair refers to international commerce as “this trade thingy”.
And there was some strong language used as well. The US president apparently believes the Middle East conflict could be ended if only pressure were put on Syria “to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit”.

Komodo said;
Can someone confirm that this is the case?
Yes the Chinese are sending their ships into the Mediterranean sea.
Ho hum. NATO will even now be scrambling on your authoritative say-so.
Translating the page, thanks Google, tells me that the ultimate source for the article on Telegrafist, (which in turn seems to be the source for infowars, Stormfront, and every other radical revolutionary site carrying the story), is a Russian social networking site. Do you have anything more solid? Looks like an inet rumour to me. Are you sure you haven’t got last year’s Chinese visit to the Med?
When I said nothing changes, I realize that B.Liar and Bush were at a G8 in St Petersburg and that the present crowd are attending a G20 there.

From Russia with love.
I’ve had a disturbing thought while listening to the full interview of Russell Brand on the Alex Jones Show. His life is in danger.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FOeNNJ-oSQ
I was a fan of Russell’s live show on BBC Radio 2 until he was sacked due to ‘that incident’. Anybody can come over well in a sound-bite or working to a clever script, but 2 hours of live radio separates the men from the boys – that guy has got a sharp mind. Even back then, he was a political animal but he’s since matured morally and now ticks all the boxes for a SERIOUS THREAT TO THE ESTABLISHED ORDER:
clever
witty
articulate
charismatic
good-looking
moral
famous
willing to stand up and be counted
Be very careful, Russell.
Komodo condescended;
The fact is, already Chinese have been in the Med. in 2112, they travelled through the Suez Canal.
Also Recollecting the story of the USS Kitty-hawk that was surprised by a surfacing Chinese sub (the commander was very apologetic for disrupting the US manoeuvres) only four miles away from this capital vessel during the exercises in the Pacific. this too was found to be not news worthy in the “Media”.
Not forgetting the Chinese taking the same position as Russians in their G20 declarations, as well as perhaps the said Chinese realising/stumbling upon/twigging on; ultimately they are the victims/target of the US imperialism. Hence it is an elegant consequence for them to have a naval presence in the Med too, don’t you think?
After all it is still in international waters.
Happy New Year!

Not.
I’m not condescending, Passerby. I’m wondering where the source is for your new Chinese visit (not the 2012 one, I know about that, even Sky News got it) and you don’t seem to be able to tell me. There’s a lot of disinformation around atm, and just stating something sorta fails to resonate with me. Source please. Was it the Telegrafist piece?

BREAKING: U.S. orders diplomats to leave Lebanon as Congress debates Syria military strikes – AP
21.16 5.9.2013
As the G20 leaders dine and discuss Syria, Ruth Sherlock writes that a branch of al-Qaeda fighting in the civil war has seized one of the few remaining villages where the original language of Christ is still spoken.
Fighting raged through the picturesque mountain village of Maaloula, near Damascus, on Thursday, as the regime launched a counter-attack against the rebels.
Maaloula, which is on a “tentative” list of applicants for Unesco world heritage status, is associated with the earliest days of Christianity.
They entered the main square and smashed a statue of the Virgin Mary,” said one resident of the area, speaking by phone and too frightened to give his name. “They shelled us from the nearby mountain. Two shells hit the St Thecla convent.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/10290606/Syria-crisis-G20-summit-September-5-as-it-happened.html
Since that was reported, the Syrian media are saying that the Syrian Army has retaken the position and this morning sent in extra troops, supplies, repair crews etc. Hope that is correct. US declares itself the most Christian nation on earth yet it is backing those who destroy the land of the Abrahamic religions, from Qurna to Damascus. Damascus is believed to be the longest continually inhabited city on earth. It was always a hope of mine to visit Syria.
The barbarians are back – again.
In Eqypt, one of the oldest monasteries in the world has had to close.

O/T I have just renewed my car tax online. What does GSi stand for in the message at the bottom of the e-mail confirming the transaction?
‘The original of this email was scanned for viruses by the Government Secure Intranet virus scanning service supplied by Vodafone in partnership with Symantec. (CCTM Certificate Number |*********) On leaving the GSi this email was certified virus free.
Communications via the GSi may be automatically logged, monitored and/or recorded for legal purposes.’
Komodo,
No it was not. I have been reading up on this point in at least three other foreign sources. So far there is no confirmation from the Chinese side, but I should imagine given their modus operandi that is not unusual.
The clear facts are, by now even the most dunce in the world has understood the dash for resources of US et al. Given the fact that wars always start for domination of resources, it is patently clear the Uncle Sam wants all these resource for himself, and is not going to let anyone else to have a piece of the action. Hence there should be a reaction, otherwise, the opponents ought to reconcile themselves to start living on Planet US and getting prepared to be bombed as and when Uncle Sam feels there is a need for some more blood letting to keep the dominions secure and the vassals calm.

“O/T I have just renewed my car tax online. What does GSi stand for in the message at the bottom of the e-mail confirming the transaction?”
It stands exactly for what it says in the first line of the message. Gosh, Mary, you must be thick as two short planks. Explains a lot of your copy n paste. Anyway this is not Yahoo answers, so please stop abusing this place.

Villager, you are the pits.
Stop whining and pissing your pants as per usual Villager.
Had a quick look at today’s crop and am beginning to wish I hadn’t. The crazies are out in force (is it the invigorating sunshine or because WW3 hadn’t started?) and, my God, what a load of twaddle again.
I think I’ll go and do something more interesting and return later to select today’s 3 silliest posts for your delectation.

You can fuck off as well idiot.Thats a disgusting post.
[Mod: this was in ref to a casual, and likely approving, reference to “Zyklon B” – now deleted]
No need to come back H. Take Villager and the other shower of shills with you.
Bit of background here on increasing Chinese naval presence and interests in the Med:
“One veteran British naval officer compared China’s approaching the Mediterranean to that of Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries, when its commercial expansion was at least as important as its military.
Chinese officials might object to that comparison. But there seems little doubt they intend to stay – and that includes a high profile if occasional military presence.”

“No need to come back H. Take Villager and the other shower of shills with you.”

No sweat, John, it’s always a pleasure to correct and rebuke when necessary.
I notice you seem to like the expression “shower of shills”. Are the showers of shills the reason why your ‘thunderbolts’ almost always turn out to be damp squibs?
Yours pyrotechnically, Habbabkuk
Yes, yes, Passerby. Yes again. We know all that. Now what are your sources? Are they traceable to anything even vaguely authentic? You can’t very well complain that the evidence for Assad’s activities is inconclusive at the same time as simply asserting that you’ve looked at three unnamed websites (which, these days, all probably got the story from a fourth) and declining to name them. Not that it’s too earthshaking, the Chinese are very interested in western military capabilities, and I’m sure they’d like a look at what’s going on, but, hey, let’s try this one out on you:
Chinese satellite to nuke Easter Island. Source: I said so.
China and Russia move closer to gas deal, securing Russian export markets and reducing dependence on European markets.
“This is the second time Xi has visited Russia in six months. Russia was the first country he visited after he assumed office as president in March.
During that visit, Xi stressed China will make developing its relationship with Russia a top priority of its diplomacy.”

It’s a pun H. A pun on the phrase “a shower of shit” but of course the rest understood that. Puns are described as the lowest form of wit. Even low forms for can be missed by the low life.
For those who missed it. Those accusing Syria of genocide from chemical weapons are responsible for this.

Just had another post deleted where I explained how Russia stopped Georgian aggression in South Ossetia and Abkahzia, and that American covert government is still trying to connect me to Andrew Robert Levene, the suspected assassin of America’s expert on its use of poison gas, John P, Wheeler III.
