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.
On my REGULAR Sunday adventure into the highlands with my two lady Friend’s…One of them informed me that Assad has admitted to using CW… i kid you not, i’m supposed to listen to this, and DRIVE SAFELY
@Emmpey – The F22 stealth that was shot down in Serbia was the result of Chinese “tranche” radar tech, the “accidental” missiles that landed on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade were no accident. The remaining 20, 20 year old $2b each B2 Stealths are no longer stealth, and they only fly at 560mph, easy meat for an on sight kill. Only the vast (80 JDAMS each) amount of damage they can deliver could have caused any damage in Syria, but they are easy prey now to faster moving scrambled Syrian fighters – THE PATRIOTS INSTALLED IN JORDAN WERE TO COVER THE B2s IT WAS ALL PREPLANNED. Only Putin scuttled the devils’ plans.
I’m of the old school. When folk start shouting and swearing, they have no answer to the argument. Their hope is that their childish actions will bore you of the will to live, and to stop folk asking awkward questions.
It also has the desired effect of driving folk away, as who wants to read childish rubbish full of swearing?
We hear about “disruption” but nobody can explain what is being disrupted.
We hear about “distraction” on threads where non-sequiturs litter every third or fourth comment.
We hear about “diversion” from someone whose posts are intended to divert attention.
We hear accusations of “trolling” automatically levelled against those who take an opposite position.
We hear frequent accusations of “racism” on a blog obsessed with “race”, especially j_ws.
We hear complaints about “vile” language from commentators who use, support or remain silent on other’s liberal use of words like “ziofuckwit”, “cunt” and “wanker”.
We hear about “harrassing” from posters who dredge up long forgotten comments on other threads to reinvigorate hostilities.
We hear complaints about “offensiveness” from people who *take* offence at almost everything and then fire off insults in reply.
And we hear about hypocrisy from those who don’t know the meaning of irony.
Welcome to the Animal Farm
As only an occasional poster, my view is that the blog suffers from folk using it only as forum for discussing the middle east.
No matter what the subject Craig blogs on, within a few posts it goes to its default setting of pro/anti Isradl.
Typos!
Those pesky Isradles!
the fractious readership here will have a fiery disagreement about something fairly soon 🙂
WTF? I go away for the weekend and come back to find Rubbaduck’s bleeding corpse in the drive…Sofia is distraught and Villager, blinded by tears, rode his trike into a lamp post. I hope you realise what you’ve done, Jon.
Though if I have it correctly, Rubbaduck’s remark was no worse than I have seen from other resident trolls on other fora. He didn’t even post pictures indicative of a tendency to coprophagia. Generally speaking, his was pretty low-grade trolling, and I hope the surviving excrescences will be moved to improve their acts.
Whatever, I haven’t seen much about Blair here lately. And there is a lot that could be said. Jonathan Cook says it:
http://www.jonathan-cook.net/2013-04-23/tony-blairs-tangled-web-the-quartet-representative-and-the-peace-process/
In which we see that despite the pleas of Europe, the Quartet and its representative are fraudulent. Ok, we knew that already…but here are some reasons.
Emmpay, I agree. Merkel is no different from other groups owned by the Rothschilds, like Labour Friends of Israel, Tory Friends of Israel and German political parties “Friends of Israel”. They are not really friends of anybody but they are owned.
I get told off, though it does not bother me, for calling the Traditional Britain racist group Fascist but they are. Hitler had similar comments to those expressed against Muslims in this article for Jews.
http://traditionalbritain.org/content/eu-islamifying-europe
Emmpay the Merkel article talks about constraining Iran’s nuclear weapons pointed at Israel. It does not mention the Israeli nuclear weapons pointed at every Middle East country. The irony is that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, but Israel (illegally) does.
“Fred ignores my requests to calm down, claiming that he is being bullied, which I see no evidence of. ”
Tell me when an exchange was instigated by me. Tell me when they weren’t a reply to personal remarks made about me.
How many times has the name Juteman appeared in the body of a post made by me? How many times has the word Fred appeared in a post made by him?
Maybe you just don’t want to see.
Get this clear, I will not waste my time defending myself from personal attacks, someone makes remarks about me and they get both barrels, if they don’t like it they shouldn’t do it.
BTW I think if more people were to take my approach there wouldn’t be nearly as much in fighting and back biting round here, spend more time talking about each other than anything else. I don’t play those games.
“As only an occasional poster, my view is that the blog suffers from folk using it only as forum for discussing the middle east.”
I wonder why? It’s all a mystery to me. Here’s my guess; because the politcal/media/military nexus is all projected towards that region and promting the agenda of a certain member state who’s entire ‘rasion d’eter’ is to be racist/barbaric/inhuman towards the locals and their neighbours (and dragging us into their filthy business). Just a guess mind, the alternative view I suppose is that they are simply Jew hating anti-Semites like Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Ghandi, John F Kenedy, etc. etc. and all their ilk.
Merkels re-election has been pre determined by the charismatic Horst Seehofer, Bavarian premiere, a proponent of the CSU who will, as tradition demands, foist its policies on to the CDU.
Seehofer was proposing to charge foreigners road tax, a very embarrassing outburst for Merkel.
Yesterday he won with a landslide and the FDP, the German equivalent of the Lib Dems, hanging their banner wherever the wind comes from, lost all support with Bavaria’s 9.5 million eligible voters.
far from me to blame the Fuggers or any other financiers. BMW and Mercedes have large Saudi share ownership, they might be owning the damn firm for all I know, some 4% of Krupp/Thyssen is owned by Iran, still they managed to build two Dolphin class subs for Israel at no price at all, a bargain.
Merkel will be re elected and she is by far too clever then to be bowled over by the cheese heads of the CSU.
The Greens will not have enough clout to go into coalition with the SPD and we will have to see how the new anti EU party will be able to pull the wool over voters eyes.

Constant swearing turns folk away from a thread. Maybe that’s the intent?
If you can’t quiz someone about their political views on a political blog, without receiving swearing and abuse, then what is the point of the blog?
Good article Komodo on Blair’s love for Zionists in his role as Peace Envoy. Revealing how he praised the Israeli genocide of 2006 which even Billy Hague called ‘disproportionate’. What an evil man. In his own words from the article:
“[T]he thing that ultimately motivates those who built the State of Israel and sustain it still, and those from the outside like me who are prepared to stand up resolutely and defend Israel, is the ideal that lay behind the creation of the State of Israel. Because those people struggled and fought but, above all, they built and they built something remarkable. They built it with a lot of opposition from a lot of people.”
They did not build it with any opposition from Blair because he was funded by the Rothschilds. And when William Hague called the disproportionate killing of men, women and children in Lebanon.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/9740044/The-cowardice-at-the-heart-of-our-relationship-with-Israel.html
If you watch Peter Oborne’s Channel 4 documentary you will learn that Israeli funding of the Tories ceased and Hague backtracked on his original comment. That is how the Rothschilds operate. Everything needs to be in their interests. Tony Blair is not ashamed of his love for Zionism. Though how he can claim to be a Christian is beyond me. The parable of the prodigal son was one of yesterday’s messages where the returning brother, having blown his bundle, goes back to the family fold and gets forgiveness. Is Blair going to make a death-bed confession to save his soul? Can he be forgiven?
“And when William Hague called the disproportionate killing of men, women and children in Lebanon.”
should have read:
“This is what William Hague called the disproportionate killing of men, women and children in Lebanon.”
Here’s the aircraft Tony charters whenever he wants to slip out to the shops wealthy dictators:

Flash, innit? Plenty of room for his minders and “Lord” Mandelson, too.
You can track Tony around the world using the extensive e-presence of plane spotters; he’s used it to visit Adirondack, Bangkok, Bengurion and Zurich (for the G20) airports. And probably many more. No buses for Tony!
Although this belongs to Aravco, a small British leasing/charter company, it doesn’t appear on some of the planespotter fleet lists.

I should clarify that Ms. Merkel believes that ‘antizionismn’ is illegitimate and dangerous. (Why?) She said here
http://www.abendblatt.de/politik/deutschland/article120013278/Merkel-warnt-vor-Delegitimierung-Israels.html
“, im Fall einer Krise wegen iranischer Kernwaffen werde Deutschland Israel unterstützen: “Das heißt, dass wir nie neutral sind, sondern dass Israel sich unserer Unterstützung für seine Sicherheit sicher sein kann. Deshalb habe ich auch gesagt, das Eintreten für Israels Sicherheit ist Teil unserer Staatsräson.”
freely translated “this means that in case of a crisis over Irans nuclear weapons Germany will support Israel. That means that we will never be neutral and that Israel can count on our support for their security, that’s why we said that standing in for Israels security is an integral part of Germany’s reason of state/realm.”
I wholly disagree with Ms. Merkel and the guilt ridden left over Nazi’s within her party. She is blind to the majority in Israel who wants to see better relations with its neighbours and she is blind/ or part of the immense pressure put on Iran by France the US and its allies, not to speak of Israeli cruise missile destroyers paroling/posing of the Iranian coast.
Zionist, who sucked up to Hitler when they asked him to be in charge of the Holy land in 1941, and the CDU/CSU have much in common, the mindset has not disappeared, so lets be realists, Germany under Merkel will always support Israel and the ousted Shah, that is what you get with German right wing politicians.
It has the right colour to match his soul, Komodo. Hope you did not take offence for my allocation of your majestic tail pillion to Sofia.
She’s tickled pink, I think.
Had a few air acrobats this morning, filling in their flying hours I presume.
“I had no part in the gambling, or mismanagement of the funds or the country, but I am paying for it nonetheless. I am legion, there are working people who are reliant on food banks, ie begging for food. The company that I worked for is among the many thousands that have gone belly up, and I am one of the many hundreds of thousands who have ended up to be without a job.”
You think you’ve got problems, croft next door to me just got bought by a fracking company.
The most worrying thing about what you say is that it is being allowed to happen again. Every one of the executives of those companies which caused the financial crisis instead of serving life which they deserve is back in business and back selling sub-prime loans.
We have people on life support machines being told they are fit for work, people told they must pay or move when there is nowhere for them to go. Yet for those who’s greed caused all this misery it is business as usual.

Habbabkuk, where are you? I think that imposter who stole your identity has returned!
Forgiveness is automatic, Nevermind, even if there is anything to forgive…
Yeah, the sky is rumbling here too. Practice makes perfect, I guess.
G-CEYL made me think of the John Player racing colours…wonder if our man advises the tobacco giants too?

“If you can’t quiz someone about their political views on a political blog, without receiving swearing and abuse, then what is the point of the blog?”
No one has sworn at you for asking their opinion.
They swear at you for falsely stating their opinions.
If someone tells you they are opposed to Nationalism as a political doctrine then you go around the blog telling everyone they are a member of the BNP you are going to get sworn at. And some You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Understand?
Fred, I don’t think you know how ridiculous someone looks when they use the language of physical confrontation in pixel space.
“Get this clear, I will not waste my time defending myself from personal attacks..”
Your own excellent advice. Take it.
” I think if more people were to take my approach there wouldn’t be nearly as much in fighting and back biting round here…”
Fighting and backbiting discourages fighting and backbiting? Look at yourself.
“This morning the UN issued a picture of Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon receiving the Chemical Weapons Report on Syria from the Head of the Investigation Team Avi Sellstrom.
“Zooming in on the letter in the photo reveals that it is a “Letter of Transmittal” in which the essential conclusion of the report can be seen i.e. that, “rockets containing the nerve gas sarin were used in Ein Tarma, Muadhamiya and Zamalka in the Ghouta area of Damascus.”
“The rockets which have been identified as having being linked to the attack bear a strong resemblance to the US M130 SLUFAE, but we await the publication of the full report, (which will be appearing here [link]) and the Syrian government’s promised response (expected later today)
http://humanrightsinvestigations.org/2013/09/16/un-report-on-syria-chemical-weapons-photo/
Dreolin, so we strongly suspect the delivery system is United States developed. Who did they not sell these inferior missiles to? The US used chemical weapons in the Vietnam war. Hmm.
“Fred, I don’t think you know how ridiculous someone looks when they use the language of physical confrontation in pixel space. ”
If you don’t like it don’t read it.
Quite frankly your opinion in not one I rate highly.
For your information Mr Never-turn-down-a-free-meal Komodo, I was distraught because my epony was turned into lasagne. And why did you leave a leg?
…
Hope you did not take offence for my allocation of your majestic tail pillion to Sofia.
Take offence from always polite, sober Nevermind? Your analogy perfectly describes my attitude to that reptile. What a ride! But when it comes to showing him how to behave appropriately he’s hard work.
I mean just look at him showing off on that motorbike. It’s only a matter of time before he gets his tail wound up in the back wheel. My little brother will have the last laugh!
The US M130 SLUFAE has a range of 150 metres in its original role as a fuel-air explosive missile designed to detonate minefields:
http://www.military-today.com/engineering/slufae.htm
This would be dangerously close range for the operator in a contested area. A much smaller payload would be needed to poison a few hundred civilians, though. The US abandoned the project in 1978. The Russians have a much better thermobaric rocket launcher, the TOS-1, but the missiles are very different in appearance
Sofia, that was two other dragons. I hate lasagne. But let me know where the leg is and I’ll dispose of it safely for you.
Fred, you’re a balloon. And if me and my mates find you down a dark e-alley, we’ll insult you to death. Terrified? No, of course not.
