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.
That fuckwit gets sad? The little fucking prick should be the bell of the ball in some fucking jail, for his crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and crimes against decency, honesty and truth.
If he does not fucking steal our money he brings fuck all back, and whatever he does bring back he can shove up his arse, first let him pay for the fucking Iraq war bill and the banking fuckup, that happened due to his fantastic leadership!

I suspect “m.mccabee” is in fact an old poster “Tony Roma”, who appears to have switched to a new handle. Here’s a posting history. Best ignored, imo.

Here’s hoping Obama gets a little surprise during his visit to Stockholm on Wednesday…
Today Wikileaks announced that it is filing a lawsuit in Sweden demanding an investigation into illegal FBI/intelligence activities against Wikileaks, and will be filing a further three similar lawsuits in other jurisdictions. There’s an 186-page affidavit by Julian Assange, of which so far they’ve made public the first 50-odd pages (without the appendices):
http://wikileaks.org/Press-Release-WikiLeaks-Launches.html
Affidavit:
Pdf: http://wikileaks.org/IMG/pdf/Swedish_Unlawful_Seizure_Complaint2013.pdf
Online: http://wikileaks.org/IMG/html/Affidavit_of_Julian_Assange.html
Only managed a brief skim through as yet, but at the end the affidavit requests Swedish police to use the opportunity of Obama’s visit to question him and/or US Govt officials in his delegation about the illegal intelligence operations. Hah! Now that’s what I call chutzpah.
There’s also explosive stuff about the Swedish investigation in it. I’ll put the most obvious bit (well, obvious to me after a brief look, anyway) in a separate post on the Why I’m Convinced Anna Ardin is a Liar thread:

Thanks for the medialens link. “Massacres That Matter Part 2”
“We ought to find it astonishing that the corporate media can flip direction with such discipline – instantly, like a flock of starlings – between such clearly self-contradictory positions.
In truth, it takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate ‘free press’ is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.”
There follows a detailed deconstruction of UK newspapers news-speak relating to Egypt, Lybia and Syria.
Some samples here (cut and pasted for the delight of the occupation). It’s easy enough to work out which countries are being referred to:
…’ousting’ and ‘removal’ of the elected government.
… described the mass murder in Egypt on August 14 as a ‘tragedy’.
…killing in Syria is routinely described as a ‘massacre’, but in Egypt often as the less pejorative ‘crackdown’.
…incontrovertible evidence…
…stands exposed as an outlaw regime…
…the legitimacy of Egypt’s interim regime hangs by a thread after yesterday’s killings.
…Gaddafi’s ‘outlaw regime’ had to be forced ‘out of power’…
…Egypt’s ‘interim regime’ somehow retained shreds of ‘legitimacy’.
…it is too soon to give up on progress…
…humanitarian intervention…
…success in Libya…
…or will the sickening fate of these innocent children make you very, very angry…
…the Obama administration made its displeasure felt yesterday by cancelling joint military exercises. Yet Washington still refuses to call a coup a coup, preferring the influence that goes with $1.3bn annual aid to Egypt’s military.
…the transition from autocracy to democracy was never going to be easy…
…the west can’t let Gaddafi destroy his people…
…It won’t be too long, at this rate, before Benghazi itself is threatened. And be equally clear what will happen when it is: there will be another bloodbath, this time a slaughter of men and women who dared to stand against a vile regime. Who’ll sit comfortably through what will doubtless be dubbed another Srebrenica?
…a common position which brooks no more argument…
…because it was a close argument, there should be no point-scoring now…
…Democracy in Egypt is on the brink of collapse… (Telegraph leader after the coup, and even after the August 14 massacre)
…if order collapses, or can be maintained only by a state of emergency, then the prospects are bleak for democracy in Egypt…
…should the West take military action? Alas, ‘we are powerless to intervene’, but using economic levers ‘we must seek to bring pressure to bear where we can…
…there is next to no doubt that chemical weapons were used in Ghouta in eastern Damascus,. nor is there much doubt about who committed the atrocity….”
Well worth five minutes to read.
Habba and Anon, I invite you to discuss the differing language used in these cases. Carry on with your accusations by all means but please give us some reasons for the views you hold.
Habba, despite your constant , and recently increasingly desperate accusations that most contributors here are a pack of “nutters, obsessives and West-haters”, if you paid attention, you’d notice that what bothers those you attack is simply the barbarity of the actions done daily in the name of the West.
Anon, how do you expect anyone to respond to your absurd assertion that “…the only thing Habbabkuk and I obsess about is that the good name of our host is not dragged down by the hardcore of sad obsessives…”?
Please give your reasons for always defending the West but seldom explaining why its policies and actions are justified, humane or legal.
OT.

It is our business Mary when Flaming June makes a public display and issues shameful threats at the Moderator on Hot August Nights. Also on whether you are at all capable of keeping to your word. Further you earlier announced, with great drama (as if anyone cares) that you weren’t going to change your name till November. In fact i half-expected you to return as ‘Come September’ or something.
If anyone here is a member of the excellent “The Oil Drum” energy website, just a little note that it is now in its last few days if you didn’t know.
Anyone wanting to say goodbye, the last Drumbeat ever will be posted by Leanan on Wednesday.

Sofia, do you really expect to be read? Easier for you to sell me the Evening Standard or something. Learn from Fred on how to make a point (good one on Blair and the Iraq orphans earlier).
Good night.

“Sofia, do you really expect to be read?
I’d rather you read Medialens rather than my samples. How about we engage on the issue of narrative and how it is manipulated?
Always good to have your endorsement.
Doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families have confirmed, in rank and file local knowledge, that Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan supplied Saudi militant and battalion leader, Abu Ayesha with tubes and gas bottles filled with dare-say sarin nerve gas with a military grade signature. (Porton Down?) The militants involved confirmed their salaries came from the Saudi government.
Prince Badar has attempted to blackmail President Putin with threats, oil and money.
Ingersoll referred to an article in the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph about secret Russian-Saudi talks alleging that Bandar offered Russian President Vladimir Putin cheap oil in exchange for dumping Assad.
“Prince Bandar pledged to safeguard Russia’s naval base in Syria if the Assad regime is toppled, but he also hinted at Chechen terrorist attacks on Russia’s Winter Olympics in Sochi if there is no accord,” Ingersoll wrote.
“I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us,” Bandar allegedly told the Russians.
Nefarious no-good sheik Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is adept at ransom. SPEAK OUT MI5 we pay your wages!!!!
Tell the British people the details of the link to Saudi intelligence and how you now conceive that very same link can work the opposite way.
MI5 – MI5 – MI5 – MI5 – MI5 mutasis mutandis..

Re: Prince Bandar bin Sultan
Both PressTV (Iran) and Debka (Israel) reported him dead last year. Very strange to see DEBKA and PressTV reporting the same story at the same time. Apparently he is alive again according to both now.
Thanks AlcAnon – Dead or Alive eh? 😉 – My ‘file’ on Bandar is huge. He would try to extinction – if only he could see me.
@Mary.
It’s great to see you back to your old, informative, link gathering form.
In fact, I should say, “in better form”. I see you’re even managing more inverted commas, in the right place than me. For one who has so publicly scorned the humble “” that’s impressive!
No wonder the attack dogs are on your case. Funny how it’s always you, rather than the issues you raise, that gets attacked.
You’re clearly barking up the right trees. Thanks.
May you be blessed with a thick (but comely) skin.

Finally, a special treat for those who don’t like reading my posts. Some pictures of an undefeated people:

Don;t know what all the fuss is about. Have lunch one day. Kill ’em the next. What’s the problem?
@ Sofia Kibo Noh,
A bit off topic – the press, through the ages, has been responsible for a lot of disinformation and lies and through its wording/phrasing always tries to implement something more than they’re actually saying. For example:
1) Shiite cleric and nationalist firebrand Mutada al-Sadr. In other words, he’s a nutter.
2) car bomb explodes in Hezbollah stronghold. In other words, it’s a military/terrorist target and not a Lebanese suburb.
I’ll leave it at that, because the list is [unfortunately] endless.

A muddle of images AlcAnon reflects the uncertainty of timing – some say this journey stops at the equinox… nice digging dude.
Quite probably the latest “hacked” emails will be proven “fake”. But it’s out there.
Mark,
Autumn Equinox is my dad’s birthday. Then mine not long after that.
Any man-made, natural or supernatural force intending to end my journey before then can go fuck itself.
🙂
Great Sluething Alcanon.
O.T are you certain the missing asteriod is due in on 2nd october
I get you when you say they don’t want us to know, But something is deffo on ..BIG time …( Solar Activity Aside )
FEMA has been frantically preparing for a large-scale disaster. Yes, that’s their supposed role, but the uptick in recent activity cannot be ignored, especially in light of the string of warnings bubbling beneath the surface. There’s been a sudden surge in solar flare and EMP warnings as well as cyber threats that have the potential to take down the electric grid in America and around the world.
Outgoing DHS secretary Janet Napolitano issued grave warnings to her successor that they should expect to deal with a massive cyber attack and/or a natural disaster of unprecedented size and scope. Many alternative researchers believe these warnings and preparations are related to the approaching comet ISON. Regardless of the trigger, there’s enough evidence to suggest that some kind of disaster is approaching.
Brian,
Surprisingly, despite the press solar activity has actually been anemic for solar max – so far anyway.
Yes the odd CME has come our way but nothing like what was thrown at us during the last two solar maxes and which did cause real damage. So far anyway…
I’ve followed everything on Ison. Wonder if it could be a distraction sometimes. Dunno though.
I keep checking for any updated tracking info on that other mysterious object – nothing so far.
Well AlcAnon according to the legend a current planetary shift is moving consciousness into another dimension, completing the process anytime after the last equinox cycle.
So your birthdays will without doubt be wonderfully beautiful.
