Confirmed speaking dates at the moment are
26 August St Andrews
28 August Insch
29 August Dundee
30 August Cupar, Fife
I will post details of times and venues shortly – these are all evening events. I am still open to invitations on dates around these, and indeed any daytime events. Don’t mind dashing all over the place. A number are in the pipeline already. Contact me using the button at top of page.
Have been rather unwell the last couple of days, so please forgive lack of regular posts. BBC Hardtalk interview with Anders Fogh Rasmussen of NATO made me feel much worse. Totally incapable of acknowledging the disasters NATO and NATO members have inflicted on the world since the collapse of the Soviet Union – and the BBC totally incapable of serious questioning on the point.
Fred and RoS;
Israel is concerned. Remember the panicked cries when the FAA stopped flights into Israel? The pocketbook is their achilles heel.

“The pocketbook is their achilles heel.”
Nothing like a bit of racial stereotyping.
@Ben
We would love to help you we really would.
Could you maybe persuade Israel to start exporting something deep fried, preferably in batter, then we can boycott it.
Racial stereotype my bum.
Economics drives politics and nationalism….even amongst Roman Catholics and Protestants in the West. Try to get some perspective.
“The love of money is the root of all evil”
I think that’s a christian perspective.

Israel doesn’t export Haggis in cans? They are missing market share, Fred 🙂

Of course when someone like Obama (Zionist puppet) says, “I don’t worry about Israel.” then you must wonder if he’d allow more sanctions on them, it looks like people power may yet sway the vote in favour of sanctions.

Oh, you mean the first Black POTUS, RoS? Well, that’s to be expected. His position is ceremonial. It’s just to put a face on US policy.
No one lets him actually govern. It’s been this way since Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947, wherein CIA and NSA was created. These are the actual drivers of policy.
Many forms of protest….http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/08/17/dutchman-who-saved-jews-during-holocaust-returns-medal-after-his-family-is-murdered-in-gaza/
In a letter to the Israeli embassy in The Hague, Zanoli explained that he could no longer accept the honor ever since an Israeli F-16 demolished his great niece’s house in Gaza on July 20th, killing six of Zanoli’s relatives.

Pre-empting Imperial Wishes
Australia Reading the United States
August 16th, 2014
‘The measuring of what the US will do is important for the amateur psychoanalysts in the Prime Minister’s office. If the murmurings are humanitarian, then the Australian response is to anticipate that. Abbott has spoken to US officials about the “potential humanitarian disaster” in Northern Iraq that awaits if the planes aren’t flown in and the supplies aren’t dropped. “President Obama has already said that it has the potential to become a genocide and that’s why it’s important for Australia to join with our international partners in doing what we can to render humanitarian assistance.” Note: it matters not a jot what the Australian assessment on the ground would have been – what Obama says, goes.
Humanitarian aid drops have a tendency of becoming military drops – food aid gives way to weapons when the moral rhetoric gets steamy with righteous indignation. Abbott is careful to underline the monstrosity he, and his colleagues, are facing while trumpeting the need to “protect civilians from a murderous onslaught.” The fate of the refugees of the Yazidi sect are coming in for some heavy publicity. Describing the capacity of the Royal Australian Air Force in terms of its humanitarian credentials is one thing (“a fleet of six C-17A Globemaster heavy lift aircraft as well as C-130 Hercules transport aircraft”); adding the military edge to it is something that will come in due course. “We are talking to our … security partners about what we can usefully do to help.”
At this writing, the prospects of troops joining a mission against ISIS is very real indeed. Minister for Defence, Senator David Johnston, has left that road open despite the fact that Washington has not approached either he or the Prime Minister. This, despite US Secretary of State John Kerry claiming on Tuesday that there would be “no reintroduction of American combat forces.”’

“They Pulled Me Back In”
By Eric Margolis
August 16, 2014 “ICH”
Armed humanitarianism 2.0. That’s our new western version of old-fashioned 19th century imperialism, now feminized by President Barack Obama’s lady advisors, painted pink and accompanied by the kind of soft piano music you hear in ads for women’s products.
Last week, the Obama administration latched onto the plight of Iraq’s Yazidis who were being persecuted by those awful ISIS folks – just in jolly good time to divert attention from the massacre in Gaza.
How handy. All three US networks and the increasingly shackled BBC were ordered to drop Gaza reporting and refocus their camera teams on the suffering Yazidis and, all of a sudden, Iraq’s fleeing Christians.
This was a brilliant media ploy. The world, which was furious at the US for enabling Israel’s savaging of Gaza and killing of almost 2,000 Palestinians, switched its attention to the hitherto unknown Yazidis, and to Iraqi Christians. No one in the US had ever heard of Yazidis but that was ok. Uncle Sam to the rescue.
No mention was made that Iraq’s Christians had been safe and sound under President Saddam Hussein – even privileged – until President George Bush invaded and destroyed Iraq. We can expect the same fate for Syria’s Christians if the protection of the Assad regime is torn away by the US-engineered uprising. We will then shed crocodile tears for Syria’s Christians.’

No Eminence or Useful Idiot here has yet disappeared, lost his job or been jailed or otherwise harrassed by the police. As always, I stand ready to be corrected on this.

Scottish independence: Alex Salmond to clarify currency stance
‘Mr Salmond and Mr Darling will take part in a televised BBC debate in Glasgow on 25 August
Scotland Decides
What’s going on in Scotland?
How to register to vote
What’s making voters switch sides?
Check out the latest polls
Alex Salmond has said he could have made his position on the currency of an independent Scotland clearer during a recent TV debate.
The first minister went head-to-head with Better Together leader Alistair Darling in the STV debate on 5 August.
Mr Darling repeatedly pressed Mr Salmond to set out his “plan B” on currency during the exchanges.
Mr Salmond has now conceded that he wished he had explained his position “in more detail”.’

In a strictly technical sense, you’re right. But you might consider this blog as representative of the privilege of free speech – if no one commenting on here (and there are some very whacky “ideas” being propagated) has suffered in the manner I set out then I think it’s a fair bet that no one elsewhere exercising their right of free speech has either (always within the limits of the law).
Moreover, I note that you have not so far been able to refer to any examples to the contrary.
Let us, however, try looking at this from the other end of the telescope. Can you give me examples of legislation in the UK which in your opinion forbid free speech and render the UK an unfree country?

E-mail just in from my Jewish friend in Devon.
Three cheers for the port workers in Oakland and the protesters.
‘Subject: Big victory in Oakland!
Somewhere between 5-10,000 people mobilized today in Oakland, California, USA, trying to keep an Israeli ship from the Zim Lines from being unloaded today. Mobilization was so good that they didn’t even enter San Francisco Bay! Big victory–spirited march, many people, not going to take this shit any more! I marched both to and from the gate of the Port of Oakland—very impressive!
There was a very internationalist aspect to this march: people were referring to Israeli apartheid, consciously linking it to South Africa, as well making links specifically to Haiti, the Philippines, and Ferguson, Missouri—really nice!
Please spread widely!’

ZIM = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zim_Integrated_Shipping_Services
A relic of the Occupation.
Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (Hebrew: צים‎), formerly ZIM Israel Navigation Company Ltd. and Zim American Israeli Shipping Inc., is the biggest cargo shipping company in Israel, and 10th largest in the world. The company’s headquarters are in Haifa; it also has a North American headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia.[1]
ZIM was founded in 1945,[2] by the Jewish Agency and the Histadrut (General Federation of Laborers in the Land of Israel). The first ship was purchased in partnership with Harris and Dixon (based in London) in 1947. This vessel was refurbished, renamed SS Kedma, and sailed to the future state of Israel in the summer of 1947. During her first years, her main task was transporting hundreds of thousands of immigrants to the emerging state. Some of the other ships that had been used for clandestine immigration before the establishment of Israel as a state were confiscated by the British mandate authorities and later joined the company’s fleet. The company continued to purchase more ships, among them SS Negba, SS Artza and SS Galila.
