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.
“Thanks for a rare copy and paste feast. A great insight there into how the Syria narrative is being spun in the inner dreamland of the usual pack of Noecon/Zionist fantasists.”
Kibo Duh, if you have any specific comments to make re the report and the dangerous growth of Al Qaeda, please do make it. That is, of course if you want to be taken seriously. (Which maybe you don’t because you’re just here to disrupt and let out hot air.) Also, try to be more forthright without using your favourite word ‘narrative’, if you can. Note, its not a word Craig uses much, if at all, and yet packs a punch in his statements.

“Draft Security Council resolution:”
That draft is so partial it cannot be a serious attempt at a diplomatic solution. Maybe the whole un thing is a smokescreen to coerce us domestic politics.
I’m concerned about the attack by the Islamist Al-Nusra on the village of Maaloulla, scattering one of the last communities on earth of speakers of the language that Jesus actually spoke (Aramaic). Apparently the attackers desecrated churches as well. I hope that the proposed deal works and that the villagers are able to return.

“because you’re just here to disrupt and let out hot air.”
Villager you are hilarious. Have you heard of psychological projection?
And the way you repeatedly invoke craig and other commentators who happen to not ignore you is cringingly fawning. You appear, well how to describe it, needy and insecure.
The issue we should all be thinking of today is the despicable Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its sponsorship of Al Qaeda and myriad clerical-fascist associated movements. How do the people of the West work together with the people of Russia, China, India and the major oil-producing countries to tackle these tyrants?
Phil, thank you for your analysis, but its insights, not analysis i’m looking for. And you’re a very unlikely candidate to receive or convey any.
…well how to describe it, needy and insecure.
And fourteen. Wish he’d make up his mind though. One minute it’s big hugs for Rubbaduk for reckoning there won’t be US intervention , and the next it’s AQ, threat to all we hold dear, but apparently not in Syria where it will allow the UN peacefully to remove the nerve gas.
Fat lady hasn’t sung yet, I notice.
Komodo, you’re not implying that the US military threat to Syria was in order to go clear up Al Nusrah, are you?

Listen brother.*
Do you think it might be a good idea to watch the language you use to your big sister and to the grown-ups around here?
As for,
“…try to be more forthright without using your favourite word ‘narrative’, if you can. Note, its not a word Craig uses much…”
WTF? Are you the language police as well? And WhyTF have I got to to use Uncle Craig’s literary style?
As for that magic word , NARRATIVE, I’d love to hear now, just as I would have loved you to explain back in May, what is your problem with my use of this word? So far all you ever had as an answer is more insults. Please explain to me. I can be persuaded you know if you can give me convincing reasons.
I’ll let Howard Zinn explain about obedience.
“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.”
Now why don’t you run along and check out what principled Jewish people would like you to consider about what is being done in their names.

Is that how old that Kibo noodle you’ve been screwing is? She certainly sounds it too. Anyway, be careful no ageism here. 😉
Komodo, you’re not implying that the US military threat to Syria was in order to go clear up Al Nusrah, are you?
Give me strength. No. Funny that, isn’t it? You’d have thought that the US, having been in Afghanistan for twelve years on the basis of the Taleban having given shelter to AQ might be a little more interested. You know, AQ, who did 9/11 and all…Instead, it’s all about removing a guy who isn’t too keen on AQ. I am quite certain the US don’t want to have a go at al-Nusrah, at least until the regime is changed. They’re far too useful. Do check out what your (slightly slanted) neocon chums have been saying since 1998 about remodelling the ME. Any excuse will do, and temporary allies are where you find them. Often somewhere near an oilfield.
I’d cite your subsequent post as convincing evidence that you are indeed fourteen, Villager, except that there’s a good chance it will disappear…
Look Komodo. You never pay attention, just like all the other grownups.
I was 13 and a half when I popped into being last March, much to Dad’s eternal regret. So how can my little brother be fourteen then? You try an explain that!
You might be a giant reptile with poor standards of personal hygene and an occasionally razor sharp mind (hot days) but that doesn’t mean you can be sloppy with facts.
Otherwise how will anyone ever take you seriously ever again. Ever!
And since I’ve not copied and pasted for at least five minutes here’s something that made me fink,
“Men who can undertake to fulfill with unquestioning submission all that is decreed by men they do not know . . . cannot be rational; and the governments—that is, the men wielding such power—can still less be reasonable. They cannot but misuse such insensate and terrible power and cannot but be crazed by wielding it. For this reason peace between nations cannot be attained by this reasonable method of conventions and arbitrations so long as that submission of the peoples to governments, which is always irrational and pernicious, still continues.
But the subjection of men to government will always continue as long as patriotism exists, for every ruling power rests on patriotism—on the readiness of men to submit to power . . .”

The French draft UN Security Council resolution on Syria (linked to by Komodo, above) “condemns the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian authorities”.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/10301732/The-full-text-of-the-French-UN-resolution-on-Syria.html
However, an article by Yossef Bodansky, published last night, notes that “The recent findings point increasingly toward the conclusion that it was indeed a self-inflicted attack by the Syrian opposition in order to provoke a US and Western military intervention against the Ba’athist Government of Pres. Bashar al-Assad.”
Though the French draft is unequivocal, he states: “Ultimately, it will take the detailed chemical analysis by the UN of the agents used to provide the guidelines as to who’s the guilty party.”

Foundation for the Defense of Democracy stalwarts express their moderate wishes/intentions:
The same lines of attack and support [as Israel’s – K] were duplicated by Israel’s formal and informal lobbyists in the US. Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post sneered at Obama for hesitating: ‘Perhaps we should be publishing the exact time the bombs will fall lest we disrupt dinner in Damascus’. Wrote William Kristol in the Weekly Standard: ‘Is President Obama going wobbly on Syria? No. He’s always been wobbly on Syria – and on pretty much everything else … the worst outcome would be for Obama not to call Congress back or not to act at all but to falter and retreat. For his retreat would be America’s retreat and his humiliation America’s humiliation.’

“The new comet has been formally labeled as C/2013 R1 Lovejoy. Terry Lovejoy apparently used a relatively small 8-inch (20 cm) Schmidt-Cassegrain reflecting telescope to photograph the new comet for two nights, as this faint object was located on the sky’s dome in front of the border between our constellations Orion and Monoceros.”

Japan’s problems will get worse as we run up to the Olympics and they should realise this now and organise to switch the venue.
Further they should open their door to all foreign expertise, because this global contamination is not going to go away.
400 tons of highly active fuel rods, because PWR’s only use a fraction of the fuel and leave over 90%, an inefficient system, are contained in a rapidly eroding (seawater)cooling pool on the 4th floor of No4 reactor. Now these would cause an apocalyptic event if not taken out with all the care necessary, indeed this is such a difficult undertaking as there is no crane, it has to be done manually, and over 1400 times, that some have recommended to bulldoze the lot into the sea as a realistic option, whilst others have talked of exploding the pool with a small nuclear device.
Sad to see that the villager has lost his/her meds., again, why else would s/he be so needy and clingy.

“Habby, especially after watching Obama’s speech of last night, let it be acknowledged that you were absolutely the only person to have called it right.”
_________________
Thank you for that gracious comment, Villager.
That said, I take no particular pleasure from the fact that I was right and the Eminences wrong. If there is a lesson to be learnt, it is that the Eminences, if they wish to avoid having to continually wipe egg from their faces, must THINK a little before flying off into their customary frenzies of speculation, name-calling, doom-mongering and plain silliness.
Easier said than done, of course, because they have firstly to rid themselves of the peculiar delusion that the West is the fount of all evil and can do no right, and that every jumped up little dictator or other automatically acquires hero status by ‘standing up to the West’.
Sushi/Sashimi fans, take note.
Radioactive cesium doesn’t sink to the sea floor, so fish swim through it and ingest it through their gills or by eating organisms that have already ingested it. It is a compound that does occur naturally in nature, however, the levels of cesium found in the tuna in 2012 had levels 3 percent higher than is usual. Measurements for this year haven’t been made available, or at least none that I have been able to find. I went looking for the effects of ingesting cesium. This is what I found:
When contact with radioactive cesium occurs, which is highly unlikely, a person can experience cell damage due to radiation of the cesium particles. Due to this, effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding may occur. When the exposure lasts a long time, people may even lose consciousness. Coma or even death may then follow. How serious the effects are depends upon the resistance of individual persons and the duration of exposure and the concentration a person is exposed to.

And you’re the only one who’ll express concern on this blog, Abe, apart from myself of course.
You see, these were attacks on CHRISTIANS and therefore do not qualify for notice here, let alone indignation or condemnation.

My advice , Villager, would be to follow my example and ignore him/her by never responding. Reserve responses, whether vigorous or gentle, for serious posters.
@Dad! All the bloody time.
Why do you keep going on like this ”…because they have firstly to rid themselves of the peculiar delusion that the West is the fount of all evil and can do no right?
It seems to me that a primary motivation of most people posting here is a desire for the West to live up to it’s righteous rhetoric rather than trying to bomb the hell out of any country it’s rulers decide is in the way of their schemes. These things are done in our names, so it is our business to examine and reject them. How can you describe that as though it’s hatred of the West?
Are you a sufferer of the condition described by Mikail Bakunin?
“Bourgeois patriotism, as I view it, is only a very shabby, very narrow, very mercenary, and deeply antihuman passion, having for its object the preservation and maintenance of the power of the national state—that is, the mainstay of all the priveleges of the exploiters throughout the nation.”
If so don’t worry, there is help at hand. You could check out the gems of information that are so generously offered by your fellow posters here and find out what’s really being done in your name.
As for your sneering allegation that posters here are unaware of the unpleasantness of Al-Nusra. Just where on earth have you been these last few months? You know well it is the elites that you defer to who have made sure these brutes were armed, trained and inserted into Syria.

Now habby’s taking credit for pulling the world back from the brink of WWIII.
But, not so fast habby. There’s a queue:
“First Poland, Now Russia Take Credit For “Obama’s Diplomatic Solution””
“With Obama’s initial punt to Congress backfiring terribly, as there was no way the president’s Syrian attack proposal would garner the required majority in the House, the time came for damage control. And the White House, ever expedient, decided to spin the backtracking as Obama’s original idea from the offset, and make it seem that a diplomatic “solution” in which the Syrian chemical weapons were contained was the whole point of the intervention. This, of course, ignores some quite blatantly obvious admissions by the White House itself, namely that the ultimate goal was always regime change in Syria”
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-09-11/first-poland-now-russia-take-credit-obamas-diplomatic-solution
So, habby’s analysis of the pullback needs some work as well.
“Now, if this had been a Palestinian village cleared by Zionists….”
That was such a nice point I thought I’d repeat it.
