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.

Hague is “closely aligned” with the US…only his feet are sticking out from Obama’s backside.
Lot of squabbling today. Is it cos it is a Monday?

Re Villager @10.10
A couple of pages ago Villager tried to claim that he has “no animosity towards Mary”, so just for fun, and looking only at this ONE current thread, this is what I found;
“Mary, if only your brain was as large as your EGO……”MY Ha’aretz post”! Capital Chump!”
“You are one woman with a sick mind! Irretrievable!”
“‘Rouge’ you’re not Mary’s sock-puppet are you? Or are you just a convenient Jack-in-the-box that pops up to try save the helpless?”
“would Jon the Moderator kindly cross-check the post by ‘Rouge”–is this Mary’s sock-puppet? Wouldn’t put it past her for one second”
“Mary, you must be thick as two short planks”
“So, you are still within your sell-by date?”
“Mary, speaking with Flaming Lips”
“Anyway this is not Yahoo answers, so please stop abusing this place.” (as if Mary is the only person who posts long links)
“You’d be a far more productive member os society if you spent your time embroidering tea-towels.” (jolly luck for him that Technicolour isn’t around to pick-up on that sexist dig, and then to smear him as some sort of woman hating bigot)
In addition he gets upset that I refer to his troll friend as the Clown, but has a whole heap of disparaging epithets for her, frequent use of “Moaner Myrtle”, “Frequent Poster”, etc, etc
All in all you can forgive yourself if the expression “Beyond Chutzpah” comes to your mind !
“Julius Streicher, a German publisher and Nazi propagandist who was hanged at Nuremberg after being judged complicit in crimes against humanity. All who were sentenced to death were major German government officials or military leaders. Except for Streicher. Julius Streicher was a journalist.”
Interesting piece of revisionist history you found there Brian. What it doesn’t mention was that Streicher was Gauleiter (party leader) of Franconia between 1933 and 1940. A position that gave him almost unlimited power which he used not only to persecute Jews but to enrich himself. Happily he upset Goering who had him kicked out although he still stayed pally with Hitler. In short he was a nasty little brute who probably got what he deserved (I don’t support capital punishment and Streicher’s execution was horribly botched).
But who’s interested in the truth when there’s a nice little conspiracy theory about the US hanging journalists to be spread around.
Komodo, page 5 syndrome?
Mary is struggling with her comprehension and Macky arguing unwittingly on behalf of Murky and, because he has a personal gripe with Jon, can’t see where to get off.

LA Times has similar questions. WaPo still fully on board war train heading for washed out trestle.
I don’t recall the vids exactly “shocking the world”. From day one, people said they were nasty, but no more than other death pics, and they overwhelmingly opposed military action. It’s only the MSM that’s shocked, horrified and constantly pooping their panties.
Guardian has story from German tabloid Bild saying German SIS has info it wasn’t Bashar but his one-legged brother Maher who ordered attack. Guardian readers are horrified their paper would rely on Bild as source.
DM had same story days ago, also same tale of the horrific Mrs. Assad doing photo ops while kids are dying that Guardian used more recently. Does DM have better sources, are they less stringent re sources, or do the MIs hand out these pieces in rotation?
Various readers’ comments: “As George W. Bush once said: “Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on… shame on… we won’t be fooled again… I think.”
“Now we have evidence that Assad was not responsible. So, where is the evidence that Assad’s brother was responsible? Do you just pick the next name out of the hat every time you run out of evidence?”
“Are these people taking the mickey? A week ago it was Assad now …err no it isn’t Assad. Next week… What a joke!”

Little Big Macky, spurious troll tactic to draw attention away from yourself for coming out in full-support of the real/proven racist Murky/English Knight! LOL
The tea-towel remark was something triggered by Mary when she suggested to your friend Habby, to dry up and offered him her specially embroidered tea-towels. Anyway, i didn’t know that possessing a pair of ovaries was a pre-requisite to embroider anything. A pair of marbles would do if you had one.
Finally, do you also want to go back and quote yourself while being wiped off the board by Suhayl and Jon and then in true Moaner fashion grabbing your marbles and running away? And your earlier failed campaign to get Habbabkuk banned? Perhaps these are some of the reasons why you seem to have the knives out for Jon?
So nothing sexist. I just don’t care for whiners or, for that matter, losers of which you are both.
“Like AI, HRW is now completely compromised after years of being infiltrated by the USG.”
Disagree, HRW is now serving the purpose it was originally created for by the USG. The first thing that countries do that wish to be independent of US/European control is kick out the ridiculously named NGOs, unfortunately this allows the West to accuse said nations of ‘human rights abuses’, but that is better than playnig host to those that seek your destruction.

Charlie Rose interviews Syrian President Bashar Assad
“(CBS News) Appearing Sunday on “Face the Nation,” Charlie Rose for the first time discussed sitting down with President Bashar Assad for his only television interview since President Obama asked Congress to approve a military strike against Syria.
Speaking with Bob Schieffer, the “CBS This Morning” co-host previewed the interview – held Sunday at the Presidential Palace in Damascus – which is Assad’s first with an American TV network in nearly two years. Rose reported the Syrian leader addressed allegations that his regime used chemical weapons against his own people.”

This particular spam email has been coming for days, from ‘different’ sources – makes me physically sick!
“Do you wish to make megabucks due to war? It`s right time to realize your plans!!! As soon as the US takes military action against Syria, oil prices will rise as well as xxxxxxxx Resources Inc share price. Begin earning dollars on Mon, Sep 9, grab xxxxx shares.”
Is everyone else getting them too?
President Assad (FRCS remember) is not cowed or intimidated by Obama, Kerry or the US threats. Produce the evidence he says. ‘Conviction’ is not evidence.
‘Expect anything in reply to an attack’ he says.
As Tim Marshall of Sky (not one of the warmongering types like Cohen and Aaronovitch) says, ‘America will find it is poking a nest with a very long stick and will get an angry reaction’.

I will not be responding to Villager’s babyish comments/insults/whatever.
I was reading the Wikipedia page about Charles Leadbeater, an early mentor of K’s whom he ‘discovered’. Made me feel ill. There are two relevant sections – Accusations of Pederasty and Discovering Krisnamurthy.

It’s all absolute tripe.

Your ‘Various readers’ comments’ are worth a lot in smiles 🙂
@Villager,
LOL indeed ! You’ve gone from “Macky arguing unwittingly on behalf of Murky” to “for coming out in full-support of the real/proven racist Murky” in the space of two short following posts, all because I pulled you up on your hypocritical statement iro Mary ! You are so unbelievably shallow !
Save your excusing justifications iro your sexist for Technicolour to have field day with.
Yes I have a problem with how this board is being moderated, as you did for a very long & very vocal time; the difference is that unlike you, my concerns don’t suddenly vanish just because Jon acts against somebody I don’t like. The Habba-Clown would have been banned off maost other boards a long time ago, however one of the problems of Jon’s moderating, is that under the increasing fake guise of “light moderation”, it became apparent that Jon is either so worried about the charges of anti-Semitism, or is actually so concerned with any hint of anti-Semitism, that he operates a discriminatory moderating policy, which comes down much harder against imagined or actual anti-Semitism, as opposed to any other sort of racism, that is sometimes posted here, which is a form of racism itself.
This made me smile, and probably quite accurate ;

Macky said:
True! There seems to be a twin track approach to the disruptive elements on this board, and somehow certain faction of _ewish Supremacists, are not treated in the same fashion as the other disruptive elements would.
This in turn leads to the threads to be filled with inane unconscious drivel, that effectively curtails the freedom of expression of those wishing to conduct a debate. This has been clearly documented and displayed in your post.
Absolutely shameful action by the Observer who have caved in to Israeli pressure.
Britain’s Observer issues correction: Israel did not use chemical weapons In Gaza

The usual – inquest opened and adjourned. How many times do we read that? I cannot find anything about the inquest being resumed and/or a verdict.
The best and most eloquent outline of why Syria should not be attacked has been delivered by Kerry (Heinz).
He is outlining that Assad threats are of no consequence, yet he maintains that Syria should be attacked because it is dangerous! Only amerika.

When the “Dear Leaders” over there, ignore the will of their people, they are denounced as “dictators/Hitler/oppressors”. When the “Dear Leaders” over here, ignore the will of our people, they are hailed as “strong/great/capable”. Comical arrangements, aren’t they?
Note this paragraph inserted into the article mentioned above, to allay any fears in the hearts of those worshippers in the Amen Corner for AIPAC aka “Capitol Hill”. Yet another reason for; “strong/great/capable” leadership ie ignoring the great unwashed that is supposed to be represented by the carpetbaggers ensconced in the aforementioned Amen Corner for AIPAc
Spin dissected:

In clear:
Last summer, I encountered an exceptionally talkative young Syrian man at a tweet-up of Middle East-oriented activists in Washington DC’s Woodley Park area. Having learned that I was a journalist, he struck up a conversation, telling me eagerly about his work on behalf of the Syrian opposition through something called the Syrian Emergency Task Force.
About thirty seconds into our chat, I could tell that the young man was not the most sophisticated operator. “We’re really trying to get in with the Jews,” he told me. “We feel like the Americans really listens to them the most, so we’re working with them all we can.”
“We prefer to be referred to as the yahood,“ I responded in a deadpan tone, prompting nervous laughter from a few friends who were listening in on the conversation.
Unfazed by the sarcastic aside, the activist told me about meetings at WINEP and entreaties to AIPAC. He mentioned Radwan Ziadeh, director of the Syrian Center for Political & Strategic Studies, as a key emissary between SETF and pro-Israel lobbyists.
With a gem from Kerry:
I just don’t agree that a majority are al-Qaida and the bad guys.
“If only that was the case, but the Habbu-Clown is a text book troll, with no real arguments, or even the ability to hide his lack of arguments”
His one aim is to get people talking off topic when a ‘delicate’ matter is raised, usually by ruffling a few feathers. The trouble is he is very good at it (as demonstrated by your post), which is why ye olde internet addage “do not feed the Troll” is just as valid now as it was way way way back in the late 90s.
