Pravda: Putin Threatens to Release Satellite Evidence of 9/11:
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/02/10/pravda-putin-threatens-to-release-satellite-evidence-of-911/
And here:

… Putin could also release satellite pics showing the US is lying about GeoEngineering ‘Chemtrails’, and about the ‘safety’ of GMO’s and other stuff (Bovine Growth Hormone etc. Obviously, these two would not involve satellite pics).

We’ve been hearing about this “threat” to release that info for a good couple of weeks now.
Mods
Would it be possible for you to change the colour of my gravatar, please (the design is OK)? The reason for my request is that the colour is too similar to that of Mary’s and you will understand that I would not wish to be associated with her in any way – even one as tenuous as this.
Thanks.

“The campaign for divestment from companies that assist and profit from Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights took a big step forward in California this weekend.

Is the passing of a “resolution” by the Board of a Students Association (ie, not even by the entire body of the students) really a “big step forward”?
I cannot of course speak for the govt of the State of Israel, but if I were it I don’t think I’d be losing too much sleep.
The cowardly Costa Croc captain is jailed for 16 years. The 32 souls who died so horribly will never see the light of day.
There seem to be no penalties for those who employed him and failed to manage him.

Costa Concordia captain Schettino guilty of manslaughter

Good on Roger Waters for speaking out and sticking up for justice for the Palestinians.
Roger Waters, Alan Parsons Spar Over Israel Concerts
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/roger-waters-alan-parsons-spar-over-israel-concerts-20150211
‘In Waters’ original note, he asked Parsons to reconsider the February 10th show. “I know you to be a talented and thoughtful man, so I assume you know of the plight of the Palestinians,” he wrote. After explaining a nonviolent Palestinian movement, he attempted to appeal to Parsons’ artistic sensibilities. “While I know you don’t want to disappoint your fans by canceling this gig, you would be sending a powerful message to them and the world by doing so,” he wrote. “As with [the 1985 boycott of shows at the South African resort] Sun City, more and more artists are standing up to say they will not perform in Israel until such time as their occupation ends and equal rights are extended to Palestinians.”
Parsons, who identified himself as Waters’ colleague, politely declined the Wall singer’s request. “I appreciate your note and your passion,” he wrote. “However, this is a political matter and I am simply an artist. I create music; that is my raison d’être. Everyone – no matter where they reside, what religion they follow or what ideology they aspire to – deserves to hear it if they so choose. Music knows no borders, and neither do I.”
Waters replied by saying he wished to continue the dialogue. “By ignoring the boycott, you are turning your back on a beleaguered people who are desperately in need of your support,” he wrote. “Even at this late hour, please reconsider.”‘

Good point (as often). Probably too good for the person you were responding to.
Mary opines:
“The cowardly Costa Croc captain is jailed for 16 years. The 32 souls who died so horribly will never see the light of day.
There seem to be no penalties for those who employed him and failed to manage him.”
_________________
The second sentence would imply that his employers possessed mysterious powers which would have enabled them to prevent the captain from suddenly deciding to steer his vessel too close to the shore in order to impress his Romanian totty/the people of his native village in that piece of coast (reports vary).
And anyway, why stop at his employers? Why not also impose penalties on the Italian Minister of the Marine, the person ultimately responsible for maritime transport in Italian waters? And on the Italian Prime Minister, the Minister of the Marine’s boss?
In conclusion therefore : an egregious comment, as so often.
Well how about that… here’s another concert, Habby, probably in more or less the same place, a couple of years after Springsteen:

Is it not horrible – grotesque – unbelievable – that a party (the SNP) which exists only in one part of the UK (and not the largest part) and whose objective is the break-up of the UK might find itself in the position of being able to hold the balance of power in an all- UK parliament after the next election?
It opines. Mods, bohoooo, can you please change the colour of my avatar, boohoooo, mine is too close to Mary’s colour.
How about a cup of tea, mods, maybe rearrange his cushions and put some cream on his bed sores, the darlings is all ruffled.
There is a massive difference between her orange and your cack brown, Habby, I think it rather fits you down to a T, no hard feelings.
re Ukraine/Russia
Mr Goss appears to have gone to ground. He has not responded to my repeated invitations to give us the names of those on the editorial team of http://www.stopfake.org who have been Fulbright scholars (and who are therefore, according to Mr Goss, CIA stooges).
The names of the entire editorial team appear on http://www.stopfake.org‘s website and so his task should have been easy.
The conclusion must be, therefore, that Mr Goss was again lying and, in true old-style Soviet fashion, attempting to smear people with whose views he is not in agreement.
Nevermind
No hard feelings at all, my good fellow.
What do you object to in my request and why do you feel it is your business? 🙂

You’re an odd fellow. You originate from the former German Democratic Republic and end up in Norfolk, presumably via West Germany. Desite enjoying the benefits of living in the land of the free, you seem very bitter and dissatisfied, very bolshy Why should that be?

Does the US have enough of its own assets in Ukraine to keep the war going if it wants to?
How many mercs? How many McCain-friendly Nazis using all that kit the US wants to “station” in Poland?
Just like all the kit it stationed in Jordan after the false-flag in Ghouta, Damascus, failed to do the trick…
The world’s biggest (war) economy keeps on keepin’ on !

“The authorization for use of military force, or AUMF, includes no geographic restrictions, meaning Mr Obama could target Islamic State fighters anywhere in the world.”
_________________
Given that – if some reports are to be believed – the ultimate aim of certain Islamists is a world-wide Caliphate, it would seem eminently sensible that the authorisation for the use of military force should not be hemmed on by geographical restrictions. Is your apparent objection of a military, political, moral or other order?
Here’s the US planning for de-escalation in Ukraine. The Minski Quartet can keep fiddling.
Yes, I know: Iranian and therefore inherently deceitful…

The US will be keepin’ on – in the sense of still being there – long after your hero Putin has been consigned to the garbage heap of history.
It’s a comforting thought.
How is the prospect that the SNP may hold the balance of power in Westminster after the next election any different from the Irish Nationalists having held the balance of power after both of the elections of 1910?
Perhaps it would be useful to remind people that a major reason the Parliament Act of 1911 was passed and the House of Lords lost its power to block laws without any time limit was that the Liberal government needed the Irish Nationalist votes to maintain its majority, the Irish Nationalists insisted on Home Rule, and the House of Lords was bound and determined to block Home Rule. So the Parliament Act was necessary for the Liberals to maintain their majority.

The following of proper safety measures is part of our asbaab/ means or method of protecting ourselves. But when Islam tells us to separate ourselves from close contact with temptation, the non-Muslims tell us that that is going too far.
Then it turns out on this occasion it would have been a very good idea.

Nah. They’ve closed the garbage heap of history cos of land-fill tax.
It’s better to recycle leaders now and pass ’em off as new.
But we all need a little comfort in life, Mr H. I’m pleased for you.

Oh, go on, stop reading the Daily Mail.
The World-wide Caliphate… DA DA DAH!
Does anyone reading crap like that seriously believe in it?
I mean, if you stopped reading the garbage spoon-fed to you by the media, and the garbage spoon-fed to you by certain elements on comment threads, do you really feel this level of threat as you go about your daily lives?
Is it the level of threat that excuses ‘endless war’?
Is it the level of threat that excuses ‘austerity’ and why the tossers who brought about the economic collapse should not be put on trial?
BOO!
