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.
The brave young man who reported and broadcast live throughout the last Israeli onslaught on Gaza is speaking in Copenhagen on 26 September.

It has some excellent speakers on fascinating subjects. At first, I thought it was about spreading innovative ideas. Then I realised that it’s about controlling ideas, adjudicating on what’s acceptable and demonising ‘dangerous’ notions. It’s another gatekeeper of political correctness, particularly in science.
As an example :
Here’s two more examples:

Komodo, that last pic applies just as well to Gordon Brown (see next thread).
Oh, sorry K you have !
Can’r find it now but someone posted details of a Clinton and Blair appearance in Yalta today. http://yes-ukraine.org/en/news/bill-klinton-i-toni-bler-vistuplyat-na-10-y-yaltinskiy-shchorichniy-zustrichi-20-veresnya-2013-roku
The cast list of speakers would make a good horror film. Moderated by BBC Sackur. Enough said.
A move to enhance Ukraine’s entry into the EU.
The YES Yalta board http://yes-ukraine.org/en/about/yes-board includes the likes of Victor Pinchuk –
Victor Pinchuk (Ukrainian: Віктор Михáйлович Пінчýк, Victor Mykhailovych Pinchuk; born December 14, 1960) is a Jewish-Ukrainian businessman and philanthropist. In March 2012, Forbes ranked him 255th on the list of the wealthiest people in the world, with a fortune of $4.2 billion.[1] Pinchuk is the founder and main owner of EastOne Group Ltd., an international investment advisory company based in London, and of Interpipe, one of Ukraine’s leading pipe, wheels and steel producers. Pinchuk is the owner of four TV channels and a popular tabloid, Fakty i Kommentarii. He has been a member of the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, for two consecutive terms from 1998 to 2006. He is married to Olena Pinchuk, the daughter of former President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma.
and Jean Pierre Saltiel
Jean Pierre Saltiel was appointed to the Board of Directors of Interpipe Limited on 30 November 2007. He has been a member of the Board of Directors of YES since 2004, and co-Chairman of the YES Ukrainian Economic Advisory Council since 2007. Mr. Saltiel served at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France. He was also the Deputy Director of the Credit Industriel et Commercial, the Partner at maison Lazard et Cre, Paris, and President of the Rothschild Conseil International (1999-2004), France. He was educated in Paris at the Sorbonne University at the Faculty of Law and Economics, l’Institue d’Etudes Politiques, School of Oriental Languages. He received his Ph.D. in Economic history and also studied as “Aspirant” at the Moscow State University (MGU).
and so on for the rest of them. Blair and Clinton should feel they are at home.
Yalta has hosted war criminals previously of course.

A Node thanks for highlighting that attempt by TED to censor Dr Rupert Sheldrake’s talk. Above is a link of the young, bright Sheldrake in a dialogue with Dr David Bohm and Krishnamurti.

@Dreoilin, re recent questions about the limited remit of the UN inspectors report, here’s an interesting medialens thread;
http://members5.boardhost.com/medialens/thread/1379676905.html
Indeed, how does one verify what Assad is saying about this ?
Thanks, Macky. Very interesting.
“Indeed, how does one verify what Assad is saying about this ?”
No idea.
As ‘orville’ says, “I’m not sure if the UN publishes a full list or [of] proposals and their relevant vetoes.” I assume there is a reasonably practical reason for not publishing – there could be a very large number of proposals involved in their to-ing and fro-ing around tables.
Anyway, I did a quick Google and found nothing.
But given what’s suspected about a false flag, it would of course suit the US that they (UN guys) weren’t mandated to apportion blame. And given the finding that there *was* a chemical attack, it has allowed them to spin it to blame Assad.
Last night I read this
‘Chemical Weapons Expert: U.S. Deadline for Syrian Chemical Weapons Is Contrary to International Law’
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article36283.htm
Assad; “When we invited the delegation, we wanted this delegation to have full authority to investigate everything, not only the use of the Sarin gas or the chemical weapons, but to investigate everything about who did it and how, but the United States made pressure in order to keep it only about was it used or not. Why? Because, I think the United States administration thought that if they’re going to investigate who and how, they’re going to reach the conclusion that the rebels or the terrorists have used it, not vice versa.”
Would he brazenly lie about this, especially during a FoxTV interview, knowing that US officials would or can refute this ? Have they ? Even if they had, it would not prove he is lying, and on the otherhand if he is lying, their silence does not gaurantee that he is telling the truth.
If the US did lean on the UN, I should imagine that such “pressure” is delibrately kept off the record, and when you recall the following, it’s easy to assume how such “pressure” could be applied;
““n July 2009, a confidential cable[1] originating from the United States Department of State, and under US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s name, ordered US diplomats to spy on Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, and other top UN officials.[2] The intelligence information the diplomats were ordered to gather included biometric information (which apparently included DNA, fingerprints, and iris scans), passwords, and personal encryption keys used in private and commercial networks for official communications.[2][3] It also included Internet and intranet usernames, e-mail addresses, web site URLs useful for identification, credit card numbers, frequent flier account numbers, and work schedules” (Wiki)
However for me the most compelling reason to believe he is telling the truth, is simple commonsense logic, in that the US, since it is clearly wanting to strike at Assad, and if, as it says it is, it is certain that Assad did authorise this CW attack, it surely would have put pressure the other way, ie insisted & made sure that the remit included investigating exactly who launched these CW rockets & publically naming the guilty party, ie Assad.
Yes, agreed.
And if the U.S. – which has a long history of false flags – was by any chance directly involved in the CW attack (organisation and/or training, even if they didn’t supply the gas) they wouldn’t want the UN guys mandated to investigate who was behind it anyway. I see no reason to disbelieve Assad.
And the videos are definitely fishy.
So many young boys around the same age, no babies, no adult women (mothers), no elderly people that I saw. And the same children in different videos purportedly from different areas … They need to be examined by experts.
And I left out:
In two of the stills which can be seen at boilingfrogs (and elsewhere) there are people giving injections to children lying among the dead. Why give injections to dead children?
And another thing, no list has been published of the names of the dead. Nowhere, as far as I know.
Yet more shekels.
‘Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is to attend the Arabian Business Achievement Awards in Dubai on November 11 2013, his office has confirmed.
Blair will give a keynote speech to over 500 business leaders attending the gala dinner, and will also speak at the Arabian Business Economic Forum the day after the awards.
Tony Blair served as Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from May 1997 to June 2007. He was also the leader of Britain’s Labour Party (1994 to 2007) and the Member of Parliament for Sedgefield, England (1983 to 2007).
During his ten years as Prime Minister, Tony Blair transformed Britain’s public services through a program of investment and reform in schools and hospitals, resulting in more children achieving better school results and more people receiving faster access to health care, with improved survival rates for cancer and coronary heart disease.’

Yes he certainly was transformational, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Kanye West is very touchy.
‘Kanye West rants over Jimmy Kimmel’s Radio 1 spoof
Kanye West has told chat show host Jimmy Kimmel he was “out of line” to make fun of his Radio 1 interview with Zane Lowe on his US TV show.
Earlier this week, the comedian recreated the video of the interview, using two children as Kanye and Zane.
Since then Kanye has gone on Twitter to say: “Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years.”
Jimmy revealed on his chat show he had a “very angry phone call” from Kanye.’
