    British Sir Martin Gilbert died on February 3, 2015 at the age 79. He was knighted for projecting British war-time prime minister Sir Winston Churchill as some sort of Western “Saint” in a 24-volume (25,000 pages) Churchill’s biography for supported the World Zionist movement agenda in the Middle East.

    Martin Gilbert was born in London on October 25, 1936 into a Russian Zionist Jewish family. A self-claimed “historian” he authored nearly 80 books on Jewish-Muslim relations as seen through the eyes of a racist Zionist Jews. In Ishamael’s House: A History of Jews in Muslim Lands, Gilbert claims that Jews were the most oppressed people under Islamic rule since the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) established the first Islamic City State in Madina in 624 CE.

    Gilbert’s lies about Islamic history has been debunked by Jewish Orientalist Dr. Bernard Lewis, Israeli president Ephraim Katzir (1973-78), Rabbi Allen S. Maller, Israeli Rabbi Baruch Efrati, former UNHRC special envoy Richard Falk, to name a few.

    Thanks for the Venezuelan coup plot link RoS. They must be really licking their wounds in Washington following two failed overthrows in a week. Thank God we have something to smile about from time to time? I guess a few of the dissenters who come here to disrupt are weeping in sympathy at another fascist attempt to overthrow a democratically-elected government going awry. 🙂

    Israeli analyst Zvi Bar’el has criticised Benjamin Netanyahu’s suggestion that European Jews should migrate to Israel to escape what the prime minister claims is a “growing wave of anti-Semitism” and the “Islamic State threat”. Bar’el pointed out that Israel is unable to fulfil Netanyahu’s promises to new immigrants.

    “Fear in Israel is greater, the crime level is higher and the terrorism threat is more real,” wrote Bar’el in an article published by Haaretz newspaper. He pointed out that the real problem is not only that the Jews of Europe aren’t safe. “The Jews of Israel have a hard time being convinced that their haven can face up to the threats in the region that Netanyahu warns them of daily,” he claimed.

    “Let’s assume that thousands of Jews do decide to abandon their businesses, studies, homes and livelihoods and board rescue flights to Ben-Gurion International Airport. What will they find here?”

    Bar’el described a list of negative realities that Europe’s Jews would face if they migrated to Israel: “They will see right-wing videos portraying the Israeli left as Nazi collaborators out to destroy the country.

    They’ll learn how fortunate they are not to have come here as refugees from Eritrea or Sudan, or even as Jewish immigrants from Ethiopia. Jews who have suffered European anti-Semitism

    will trade it in for Israeli racism. They’ll discover they’ve become citizens of an occupying country, the occupation that has contributed to that same anti-Semitism that made them pack their bags in the first place.

    The Hill: US denies backing Venezuela coup attempt:

    The State Department is denying Venezuela’s claims that the U.S. was behind a coup aimed at overthrowing President Nicolás Maduro.

    “The allegations made by the Venezuelan government that the United States is involved in coup plotting and destabilization are baseless and false,” said spokeswoman Jen Psaki in a statement late Thursday. ” The United States does not support political transitions by non-constitutional means.”

    Yeah, sure. And what happened a year ago in Ukraine?

    If they deny it, that confirms it.

    Baby stops crying when she hears hip hop track CoCo in cute video. The next time you spot a baby crying try playing them a hard core hip hop song instead of the usual nursery rhyme.

    That’s what Lena’s uncle did after failing to calm her down with classic song Wheels on the Bus.

    It seemed nothing would work until Lionel Vital asked someone to whip out his secret weapon, OT Genasis’ hit song CoCo.

    Once the beat dropped, eight-week-old Lena immediately stopped crying although we’re not sure someone rapping about their love of cocaine was the right message to send.

    Too far? Bodybuilders are resorting to human breast milk for protein. A new mother accidentally stumbled across a new phenomenon in the world of bodybuilding after a man came up to her in the supermarket asking whether she would be willing to sell him some breast milk.

    It surprised her to find out he was requesting her milk not for a baby but as a protein supplement to help his CrossFit bodybuilding regime.

    As it turns out, this was not an isolated incident but one of a number of fitness fanatics keen to purchase breast milk online to help with their muscle sculpting.

    Dmitry Orlov always says that empire collapses from the periphery in, rather than from the core out.

    Anyone noticed any weak spots in the Empire.

    It’ll certainly be difficult to hold everything together until Russia is subdued, regime-changed, defeated, contained or whatever endgame they’re aiming at.

    But that’s their only choice.

    Defeat Russia or implode financially and in every other way.

    Perhaps war, even glorious defeat in war, will seem preferable, for the indispensable exceptional ones.

    Drone delivery service: Lazy shopper has packets of cigarettes brought straight to his window. The flying device collected a packet of cigarettes from the shop for its owner before dropping it off at his apartment window.

    If you’ve had a days when you can’t be bothered nipping to the shop for a pint of milk or loaf of bread, you could always take a leaf out of this guy’s book.

    Because he’s found himself an epic flying drone – that delivers his cigarettes directly to his apartment window.

    “I think I heard Smoothface described by a parliamentary committee earlier today as a ‘diplomatic irrelevance’. Ha!”

    Well he is, and a much poorer actor than the Blair.

    But, many have said that the reason the US wasn’t involved in the recent Moscow talks is because the Germans and French don’t trust them.

    The UK wasn’t involved, because they feared the UK would tell tales to the Americans.

    You know that the French and Germans even excluded their officials? No leaks.

    Everyone’s paranoid in these end of days scenarios.

    Meanwhile the ECB are playing childish games with the Greeks, swapping pieces of paper for Greek signature and pretending that these were the agreed texts when they clearly were not.

    It’s desperation. Things are much much worse than the vast majority of peeps are learning from mass media.

    NATO backing off is delusional Komodo — NATO is the ‘bad seed’ of the ‘Marshall Plan’ the ‘mob’ to protect a United Europe from those dastardly Reds , a liberal conspiracy promoted by Retinger Sandys and others, funded by Rockefella and Ford through a CIA front aptly named the American Committee for a United Europe. The CFR’s United States of Europe was evolving with the USSR the convenient bogeyman as a lever to proliferate the arms industry’s special weapons department to create Europe’s ‘nuclear umbrella’ -thus the military alliance was set in stone; the cracks that would appear over time would be filled by prodding and provoking a reborn Russia into moves to protect her backyard.

    That is until the curtain came down on the millennium and an unlikely man of peace, Russia’s Vladamir Putin, who opposed Iraq, opposed Libya and charted a diplomatic course out of the Syria mess for the now bumbling US White House which had deceived itself into a corner conjuring red lines, poison gas, more proxy magic, nasty rebels turned terrorists and an assault on Islam using buudy France and a Charlie Hebdo circus.

    Now, it seems the much-reviled Russian leader is doing it again. The cease-fire agreement forged in Minsk late last week may end or at least de-escalate the conflict in eastern Ukraine that was drawing the US and Russia into a direct confrontation. The NATO dagger pointing at the heart of Russia has been blunted and softened for now.

    Interestingly the United States of Europe appears to be suffering more pain from the US-led trade sanctions, is clamoring for them to be lifted and cursing history.

    Putin has gotten Crimea back and Ukraine is in confusion. Most important, the march to war in Ukraine between nuclear-armed Russia and the US has been averted. Match to Putin.

    Thanks Herbie. Yes, Jen Psaki used to be a pretty sociopath, but now she’s looking pretty stupid – and not for the first time. Matt Lee’s taken her down a few pegs in the last 12 months.

    http://www.globalresearch.ca/barack-obama-has-installed-a-dictatorship-in-haiti/5432333

    Since January 12, 2015, Michel Martelly has ruled Haiti by decree with US-UN guns backing up his dictatorship. The UN Security council, led by Samantha Powers, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, recently visited Haiti to legitimized and reinforce their commitment to Martelly over the objections of the people of Haiti.

    Twenty-nine years ago, on February 7, 1986 Haiti ousted the bloody, US-supported Duvalier dictatorship and swore never to allow dictatorship in Haiti ever again.

    Today, February 7, 2015, tens of thousands of demonstrators in Haiti swarmed the streets to mark this anniversary, commitment and again to boycott and demand an end, not to another US-supported Haiti dictatorship, but worse, a US-installed dictatorship and an 11-year military occupation of Haiti.

    Yes, John.

    But at least she has the decency to get embarrassed occasionally, and it’s kinda cute and human like.

    Nuland used to do that job.

    She lied all the time, always got caught, but never got embarrassed.

    She just coldly stared at Matt Lee, almost as if she were sizing him up for a casket.

    That’s a psycho.

    Mr Goss, I’m afraid the only way bankers will fall from windows now (as they have no shame) is if we physically throw them out the window, a job, I might add, I would perform with gusto, if humanity ever grew a pair, and decided to change society, for the better.

    Not bang up to the minute, but perhaps still relevent:

    QUOTE: German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande flew to Moscow on Friday for an emergency meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to try to put an end to the spiraling bloodshed in East Ukraine. The negotiations lasted five hours and were held “without the presence of aides and officials” to ensure confidentiality and to prevent leaks to the media. The striking absence of a US representative at the confab, when US Secretary of State John Kerry was less than an hour away in nearby Kiev, suggests that there may be a split between leaders in the EU and Washington on their approach to the crisis in Ukraine. While US politicians and diplomats are nearly unanimous in their support for providing so called “defensive” weapons to Ukraine, leaders in Europe oppose the idea. Merkel has been particularly outspoken on the topic, saying on Monday:
    “I am firmly convinced this conflict cannot be solved with military means. I cannot imagine any situation in which improved equipment for the Ukrainian army leads to President Putin being so impressed that he believes he will lose militarily. I have to put it that bluntly.”

    The female psychopaths are, unfortunately, big on so-called “humanitarian intervention”. And the leading one of that crew, Hillary Clinton, again equally unfortunately, is probably going to be the next President.

    I recently read James Mann’s book The Obamians, on Obama’s foreign policy people during his first term. It’s depressing reading. Those of them who supported intervention did so largely for careerist reasons.

    Agreement this evening on draft language at the EUROGROUP! To be confirmed next Monday.

    Disappointing news for those on this blog who were hoping for a big bust-up and for those who saw SYRIZA as the beginning of a big economic revolution.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Personal note on Greek Finance Minister Varoufakis (à la mode de Mary):

    Comes from a comfortably-off bourgeois Athens family. Married to a rather rich woman from an old-established Athenian family. Couiple have, in addition to their Athens pad, a very pleasant second home on the now fashionable island of Aegina. Nice houses on Aegina are very expensive.

    It is always good to see a rich man caring for the poor and dispossessed.

    “They blinked. Eurozone Agrees on Four-Month Extension of Greece Bailout.”
    ________________

    If they blinked, then Mr Varoufakis and SYRIZA had their eyes so tightly shut it must have hurt.

    Good try, Lysias, but nonsense.

  • lysias

    The Gracchi, Julius Caesar, and the Kennedy brothers were all rich men who cared for the poor and dispossessed, and paid for doing so with their lives.
