The number of people still prepared to defend the Iraq War in public is tiny. The interesting thing is the very strong correlation between those people, and those prepared to pretend to give credence to the farcical sexual allegations about Julian Assange. Zoe Williams Guardian piece about what a jolly good chap Blair is I find breathtaking. War crimes like Blair’s result in terrible anguish for millions. I am prepared for purposes of argument to believe that Williams’ anguish for female victims of crime is genuine; why she can’t extend that to the tens of thousands of women who were raped because of Blair’s Iraq War, or had the still worse agony of seeing their children killed and mutilated I don’t know. Nick Cohen is just very, very sad. I just hold up these two in the hope that those deceived by feminist political correctness into following their lead against Assange will see to what they are subscribing.
Rather a side issue, but even if we accept Zoe Williams view that dead Iraqi children don’t matter, she appears not to have noticed that Blair introduced tuition fees, academies, kick-started NHS privatization, allowed the banksters’ bonanza leading to worldwide economic crash and oversaw the greatest widening of the gap between rich and poor in British history.
“For what its worth, as I said on the earlier occasion you refer to, I have contributed to this blog occasionally for many years, since some time before you ever did.”
Sorry I missed this. Where did you say “I have contributed to this blog occasionally for many years”? I must have missed something.
Herbie
The west funded Stalin in his successful efforts to fight the Germans in World War Two. Is that what you mean?
Do you have a reference for the 60 million figure?
Ben and John Goss: because I value this blog I will make one more comment on my identity.
I first started commenting on this blog in 2010 after I read Craig’s books. There are reviews of both his books posted on Amazon under the same nickname which is the one I always use on any blog.
The Specious Defence of Blowing Straw Women Out Of Your Assange
This womanista defends the bad war and that womanista dislikes my chum. Feminism is a problem. Now carry on.
Thanks for the sleuthing, Mary, she was a remarkable photograp[hers who could take the most exceptional pictures with a box brownie, she always used second hand cameras of the older variety and she loved black and white.
I put her in the same league as Fritz Land, both of them artists of light and dark.

“More generally, do you think that USD will collapse, and what impact will that have on GBP and EUR?”
____________
The answer to your first question being “no, I do not believe the USD will collapse”, a reply to your second question becomes otiose.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Do these people you meet think that USD will collapse, or do they expect things to just keep on going as they are?”
_________________
As I have not discussed it with them, I do not know what they think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now that I’ve amply answered your questions, perhaps you would answer mine, ie, are you yourself putting your money where your mouth is and buying Chinese currency?
If so, I wish you luck. 🙂
should mean Fritz Lang
“Now carry on”
Phil; I think, as well, it’s a personal thing…toes stepped upon.

““In the meantime why not do a little light research into comrade Stalin and find out what everyone else knows for yourself?”
This is a familiar tone.”

And a very pertinent one.
Nevermind
We had the “sleuth-like” Mr Goss and now we read “Thanks for the sleuthing, Mary,..”
WOW! Clouseau and Clousette!
Verily I say unto you : ‘Strewth, what a slough of sleuths!
Anyway, enough of me. Carry on, chaps. Or, on Buddy Hilly’s words: Rave on!
Too quick – Buddy Holly (and even : in)
I can confirm that Conjunction has written reviews of Craig’s books on Amazon UK.
When did John Goss start squatting on Craig’s blog, as a matter of interest? Was it really only after 2010? From his tone, you’d think he’s been on here forever.
Craig might just as easily have used the tags:
The Islam-ist defence of blowing out the brains…
The Christian Fundamental-ist..
Marx-ist.
-Isms are all self-serving political wolves hiding under the good names/sheep’s clothings of high principled ideas. Feminism is not an exception. Islam is ultimate truth, but ex-Zword Freemason, ex Muslim Brotherhood Ayman Zawahiri of ‘The List’ of Robin Cook fame pronounced that anybody who engages their brain into analysing what political Islam is doing, is automatically a spy and an enemy of Islam.
Give the followers of his zombie cult guns and others who are in the habit of using their brains guns and put them in Syria where the general population is in the habit of practising the ultimate truth of Islam- what do you get: chaos. Then he wails that hsi followers have mutinied. Thank God. Allahu Akbar!. The possessors of brains have mutinied against the cult that would slit their throats for engaging their brains.
If there had not been any opposition to the mercenaries of UKUSIS we could definitely say we were doomed. Similarly, we can also take hope that feminism took a virtual kick in the balls by the resignation of Maria Miller. wrongdoing is still being challenged in spite of NWO power.
The case of Julian Assange is like the case of the Ukraine. Equal participants in feminist political tripe Assange and Swedish feminism cross virtual swords in a virtual legal battle computer game. Equal participants Jewish Russian oligarchs and NWO powers USUKIS cross virtual swords in a virtual legal battle computer game.
Why is it interesting to consider the rules of a virtual game? Well chess is interesting to those who play it. But are these virtual heroic Beowulfan battles of covert politics and virtual power in the real world? Only to the extent that you believe in them. Does the presence of the black box of MH370 in the most inaccessible part of the Indian Ocean prove that nothing happened to the passengers between take-off and disappearing? Only to the extent that you believe in them.
We live in an age of deception and the only limit is the boundaries of our imaginations to understand the full scope of the evil that our rulers are capable of doing.
“The west funded Stalin in his successful efforts to fight the Germans in World War Two. Is that what you mean?”
Nope.
Stalin and the Bolsheviks were funded from an early stage by western bankers, as of course was Hitler.
The Tsar was being a bit of a pain over his state banking system, so they decided to help topple him. Some things never change.

You say:
“I do not believe the USD will collapse”
What makes you think that?
Is it anything other than mental inertia on your part?
IOW, you just can’t imagine it happening because you’re conditioned to expect things always to remain the same.
And, how can you know what people you meet are doing with their money if you don’t discuss it with them?
Habby
“I can confirm that Conjunction has written reviews of Craig’s books on Amazon UK.”
How do you know this?
“We live in an age of deception and the only limit is the boundaries of our imaginations to understand the full scope of the evil that our rulers are capable of doing.”
Guano;
I’m of the opinion that any person who seeks elected office should be disqualified on that basis.
If they want the job they must either be barmy or duplicitous; seeking the perquisites of office rather than be inspired by the notion of Pubic Service.
We used to conscript or Shanghai people for military and maritime bizness.
“If nominated i will not run, if elected i will not serve” would be preferable.
Nearly all of H’s remarks are personal and/or insulting. Going so fast, the typos are coming as fast as Pistorius’s bullets.
O/T Aren’t you sick of the latter’s whining voice and the blubbing. Mr Nel is having none of it. The trial being covered live on TV news channels and featuring in news bulletins. Another diversion.
I can confirm that a person who named himself Conjunction wrote a glowing review of “The Catholic Orangemen of Togo and other Conflicts I Have Known” which Craig picked up on in his blog.

Why these two people are not the same I have no way of knowing. Habbabkuk was not contributing to the blog at that time, at least under the name Habbabkuk.

What a tasteless, misplaced comment, showing total disregard for his victim and her grieving parents. Please show a little compassion.
“I would put it more down to ignorance rather than genuine intent.”
Please support that opinion.
Very difficult to support the existence of ignorance/prove a negative – I think the onus has to be on you to demonstrate that genuine intent existed.
Hurby
As an afterthought and to be helpful to you:
If you get a shove on, you’d still be able to buy your Chinese currency in NY before the exchanges close, alternatively, you could wait a little until the Far East opens again. Let me know how you get on, won’t you.
To a person naming himself John Goss:
“I can confirm that a person who named himself Conjunction wrote a glowing review of “The Catholic Orangemen of Togo and other Conflicts I Have Known” which Craig picked up on in his blog.”

And that a person who named himself Conjunction also wrote a review of “Murder in Samarkand” on Amazon.
I hope this helps the person naming himself Herbie (even though I always think of him as “Hurby”)

“The trial being covered live on TV news channels and featuring in news bulletins. Another diversion.”

I’m intrigued. Diversion from what?
Is there something in the water at No. 10?
Definite signs of religious mania setting in Agent Cameron and shades of BLiar all over again.
David Cameron: ‘Jesus invented the Big Society – I’m just continuing God’s work’
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/david-cameron-claims-jesus-invented-the-big-society–he-is-just-continuing-gods-work-9250449.html
PS How about Ave Javid or Vale Maria?
Mary. Only if you read or listen to them. They are not diversions, they are distractions so that while your mind is busy engaging with them, you swallow another bit of garbage. I heard a Classic piece of BBC R4 tripe the other day in the program about interventionism: there were no UK boots on the ground in Libya.
I have looked but I cannot find the report in the Daily Telegraph boasting defiantly that up to 1000 UK or NATO troops had been deployed covertly prior to Gaddafi’s murder. The same is obviously true today in Syria.
John Goss
So how many were killed by Stalin – you made the claim that it was less than those killed by Blair so now support it – I am interested in your sources for your claim!
Habbabkuk; “But i have a pretty goos track record in these things: no World War 3 starting in Syria, former President Chavez not assassinated by injection of a lethal cancer virus, Malaysian airliner not hijacked to Diego Garcia, AS Victoria Nuland didn’t appoint the new Ukraine govt, etc, etc – the list is long!”
LOL ! All the examples you cite are unproven &/or far too early to call; instead for a real example of foresight, remember Theresa May’s planned £3000 Surety Bond scheme for overseas visitors, that you posted many supportive comments on, well look who predicted, not once but twice, that it would never see the light of day, months before it was ditched;

It was quite amusing that you were not amused when you were forced to admit that the Government were being forced to review aspects of it just days after it was announced !;

Actually the whole thread it worth revisiting, as it illustrates how you had nothing to offer when I actually decided to fully engage with you on something, and also for the fun of you getting yourself into a spin & put right by others over Cast Lead & Shannon Airport figures ! Enjoy & re-live ;

“Mr Cameron faced a backlash from his own Conservative Party MPs yesterday over the way he handled Ms Miller’s resignation.”
Just invoke the Jesus Principle and all your sins are forgiven. “Big Society” is what, Cameron’s nod to the Great Society of LBJ?
Now if Christian qualities are truly represented, hypocrites should flee for their very lives.
