The dreadfully stultified pageantry of the British state has been on full display the last couple of days, all mouldy ermine, fraying gold braid and musty velvet. But forms which evolved as a vibrant display of Imperial might have transmuted into rituals of obeisance, as the nonogenerian Prince Philip stumbles behind the Chinese President along lines of men wearing decaying bears on their heads. The sickness of Britain’s monarchical system was never more bluntly revealed than by the rictus grins of the aristocratic clowns balancing their tiaras at the state banquet.
The Chinese are the imperial masters now. Cameron begs them to build a nuclear power station for which the British state guarantees it will pay double the market price for electricity produced, for twenty years. And a government which has just announced the extension of thought crime to the expression of non-violent or anti-violent thought deemed “extreme”, has no locus to talk about human rights, a concept at least as alien to Teresa May as it is to the Chinese Communist Party. Britain has its own war criminals like Blair and Straw running around, immune and very wealthy.
The British state is an immoral entity which I view with disgust. That is what drives for me the imperative to early Scottish Independence to be rid of it. Every day as a British citizen is like bathing in sewage.
Suppose it is proven Bliar has been a CIA agent since his days at Oxford? Anderson Cooper also finds himself in a similar position, due to what the spooks now call “key hole surgery” – pics taken in various states of homosexual undress. I guess the first thing would be to deselect the 50 nulabour MPs who want to bomb assad including the four muzzy MPs kowtowing to their radical takfiri muslim voter base.
Mary : Google the name ‘Yusi Oulen Shahak’ and many links come up to this story.
I’ve just done that. At the bottom of every page it says “In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page.”
No mainstream media outlets are reporting the story but dozens of others are, so the cat’s out of the bag regarding Israeli involvement with ISIS. Yet someone has taken the trouble to act very quickly to remove certain information from Google. This implies there is something about this story which would be even more embarrassing to Israel if it were known.
There’s a chance that the info is still available, but I am too busy this morning to spend time searching with other search engines. Any volunteers?
@Mary – assad face to face visit to Putin was not a coincidence, he was probably carrying proof of yosi shahak haganahs involvement with ISIS passed on by Iranian intelligence. The really puzzling bit is what was satanyahus recent face to face with Lord Astors son-in-law at Downing St all about? Perhaps CM, as an old diplomacy pro, can enlighten us with what it is that is usually on the agenda at such hurriedly convened meetings between heads of state?
Suppose it is proven Bliar has been a CIA agent since his days at Oxford?
David Shayler reckoned he was an MI5 asset, I recall. Informing on CND members.

Mary – 23 Oct, 2015 – 10:01 am Quelle surprise indeed – nonetheless entirely predictable we just needed the name – thankyou.
That ‘unfortunate’ arrest of a Shabak Colonel had U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry swiftly dispatched to force International support of the US/UK/IS/Turkey imperative that Assad must step down now! (before the planet sees daylight on the Islamic State proxy scam).

Lateral thinking ‘Red Alert’ – excellent – I consider agent Cameron is an SIS surrogate.
A whole lot of kowtowing and crawling ongoing in Manchester this morning.

Breaking the Silence is one little chink of light in Israel but sadly they will not prevent further bloodshed of the Palestinian people from happening.
‘This morning the Interpal team went to Caabu to hear Yehuda Shaul of Breaking the Silence talking about how Israel fought in Gaza.
During Operation Protective Edge in 2014, 19,000 shells of artillery were used on Gaza, one of the most densely populated areas in the world. In Gaza’s Shuja’iyya neighborhood, 100 one-ton bombs were dropped in only one hour.
At least 2,100 Palestinians including 551 children lost their lives, over 11,000 were injured and hundreds of thousands left homeless.
You can check out Breaking the Silence’s work and read Israeli soldiers’ testimonies here: http://bit.ly/1JLfikJ
Thank you Caabu for hosting this event.’

The Clutha report main findings.
The report into the crash, which took place on 29 November 2013, said:
◾the fuel pumps were switched off when the helicopter was somewhere between Dalkeith in Midlothian and Bothwell in South Lanarkshire
◾the first “low fuel” indicator activated somewhere before Bothwell
◾the audible “low fuel” warning was acknowledged by the pilot, David Traill, five times. Guidelines say he should have landed within 10 minutes, but did not
◾there were about 32 seconds between the first engine flaming out and the second, but the single engine emergency shutdown checklist was not completed in that time
◾there was no evidence of any technical malfunction and there was fuel left in the tanks.
RIP the three crew members and the eight people in the pub who died.

@John S Warren, I’ve been highlighting the time wasting futility of trying to engage seriously with the Habby-Clown, virtually from the moment he/she/it first started to blight this Blog, my last comment in this respect being;
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2015/10/the-self-appointed-elite/comment-page-2/#comment-557181
However it is everybody’s right to discover for themselves, exactly what a time-wasting fraud this Clown really is; it’s at least amusing that it obviously regards itself as a sort of Socrates “Gadfly” figure, intellectually stimulating people by asking “clever” questions, but unlike Socrates who admitted that he really knew nothing, this Clown is really too dim to realise that he knows next to nothing on whatever subject he pontificates on.
Did you hear about that pro-Tibet demonstrator who was arrested, allegedly just for holding a piece of paper up in the air the other day? Yes, in this country – not China.
Brian Fujisan 11.42pm.
Interesting article Brian, this article says three people died in the square, though that hardly constitutes a massacre.
Chinese government officials have long asserted that no one died in the Square itself in the early morning hours of June 4, during the ‘hold-out’ of the last batch of students in the south of the Square.
Initially foreign media reports of a “massacre” on the Square were prevalent, though subsequently journalists have acknowledged that most of the deaths occurred outside of the Square in western Beijing.
Several people who were situated around the square that night, including Jay Mathews, former Beijing bureau chief of the Washington Post, and Richard Roth, CBS correspondent, reported that while they had heard sporadic gunfire, they could not find enough evidence to suggest that a massacre took place on the Square itself.
Records by the Tiananmen Mothers suggest that three students died in the Square the night of the Army’s push into the Square.
Democracy activist Wu Renhua asserted that the government’s discussion of the issue was a red herring intended to absolve itself of responsibility and showcase its benevolence.
Wu said that it was irrelevant whether the shooting occurred inside or outside of the Square itself, as it was still a reprehensible massacre of unarmed civilians.

I thought the Nobel Prize awarders had the monopoly on hypocrisy, when they awarded the Peace Prize to Kissinger and Obama.
But no China’s Confuscius Peace Prize, appears to be vying for the title, by awarding its Peace Prize to Robert Mugabe, dictator of Zimbabwe.
A Conversation with Sibel Edmonds
Sep 11, 2015
On the season debut of the Global Research News Hour, we spend the bulk of the hour with former FBI language specialist turned whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds.
Ms. Edmonds went to work for the FBI in the weeks following the 9/11 attacks. While under the employ of the State Agency she uncovered ongoing criminal operations implicating foreign nationals and high level US officials. When she tried to report on these revelations, she was told to shut up and eventually dispatched from the agency.
Edmonds has reported instances of FBI foreknowledge of 9/11. For example, a disclosure by a long-term FBI informant to two FBI agents and a translator, which indicated a terrorist attack in US cities involving airplanes to take place within a few months. After the disclosure was forwarded to the Special Agent in Charge of Counter-terrorism at the Washington Field Office, no action was taken, and following 9/11, the agents and translator in question were told to keep quiet about the issue. [1]
In this week’s interview, conducted by Global Research News Hour contributor Jonathan Wilson, Edmonds discusses how she became “the most classified woman in America,” as well as how sensitive information gets contained, the rise of Islamic Terror as “Gladio B” and her assessment of the trouble-spots likely to emerge in coming months.

For any un-enlightened among us still living in Plato’s cave and having their reality shaped by admiring the flickering shapes made by the shadows the politicians and mainstrean media casts on the cave wall, the original Operation Gladio was the cold war era (i.e. referring to the 1st cold war, not today’s reincarnation) false flag terror operation run by the CIA and various NATO nation intelligence agencies to use cutouts to perform acts of terror, mostly in Italy (where the threat of the communist party actually winning elections was strongest) but in other NATO countries as well.
These acts of terror committed by far right extremists and CIA proxies were then blamed on radical leftists and Soviet Union sympathizers in order to discredit the political parties and politicians on the left as a political force and to encourage the public not to doubt or question the servants of the state as they were needed to protect the population from these random acts of terror committed by supposed Commie sympathizers and the radical left.
In March 2001, Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony, “You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.”
The Czech Republic seems to have unique way of deterring refugees.
According to UN Human Rights chief, Zeid Ra’ad al- Hussein, Czech authorities detain refugees for up to 90 days, strip search them and use their monies and valuables to pay for their 90 day upkeep.
Not surprisingly very few refugees claim asylum in the Czech Republic.
I wonder if Theresa May will eventually adopt this approach to imigrants and refugees.
Russia’s defence minister, Sergei Shoygh, has reported that Russia will have permanent military bases stationed in the Arctic by 2018.
The reason given for armed air bases is to protect shipping routes. Though it’s more likely they’re beefing up forces to match NATO, or preparing to asset strip regions of the already fragile Arctic eco-system.
Hi Brian – not too certain but I know an underwater mine causes a ‘steam void’ a kind of hot bubble that expands and can stress a submarine hull or cause a ship to lift up and break it’s keel.
My dad would know a lot more.
Another report on the death by ‘tear gas’ inhalation of the good doctor in Hebron sent to me by a friend who met him.
Reaching the house involved ‘taking a convoluted route to enter it through a back way, climbing up and down slopes because the front door to their house is off Shehadeh Street which is closed to Palestinians? We heard several stories about the harassment they have suffered by extremely religious settlers who have pressurized them to leave their home.’
Attached was a lovely colour photo of the doctor, making the sign of peace, with his wife and children.

“The confusion in Washington is so great that the White House has cancelled the official visit by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and a delegation of the Russian Chief of Staff. This decision was taken after an identical visit to Turkey by a Russian military delegation. There is little point in discussing the operations in Syria, because the Pentagon does not know what is happening there. Furious, the « liberal hawks » and the neo-conservatives are demanding a relaunch of the military budget, and have succeeded in stopping the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
In the most bizarre fashion, the Atlantist commentators who are witnessing the out-distancing of US military power are now denouncing the dangers of Russian imperialism [5]. And yet Russia is only acting to save the Syrian People, and proposing that other states work in collaboration with them, while the United States, when they enjoyed military pre-eminence, imposed their economic system and destroyed a number of states.
We are obliged to note that the hesitant declarations by Washington, published during the Russian deployment before the offensive, should not be interpreted as a slow political adaptation of official rhetoric, but should be understood for what they actually reveal – the fact that the Pentagon did not know the terrain. It had become deaf and blind.”

Look at the four “Pictures from the 3rd Ambassadors Meeting:”
Most odd.
The Pentagon has become deaf, blind and stupid. I would make those facts known to Carter and The White House albeit they insist in engaging NSA to delete my system files (.sys) including the shadow back-up which caused me a great deal time and inconvenience to restore from a snap-shot.
The security and popular forces have held captive an Israeli colonel,” a commander of Iraq’s popular mobilization forces said on Thursday.
“The Zionist officer is ranked colonel and had participated in the Takfiri ISIL group’s terrorist operations,” he added.
Noting that he was arrested along with a number of ISIL terrorists, the commander said, “The Israeli colonel’s name is Yusi Oulen Shahak and is ranked colonel in Golani Brigade of the Zionist regime’s army with the security and military code of Re34356578765az231434.”
He said that the relevant bodies are now interrogating the Israeli colonel to understand the reasons behind his fighting alongside the ISIL forces and the presence of other Zionist officers among ISIL terrorists.
The Iraqi security forces said the captured colonel has already made shocking confessions.
TPP, TTIP and UN 2030 – Blueprint for a One World Corporate Government
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is simply an extension of NAFTA. It is “an attempt to forge a supranational government for the nations of the Pacific Rim modeled after the European Union”. Therefore, the TPP, along with the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Trades in Services Agreement (TiSA), must be understood as precursors to a global governance.
Even at best, these agreements aren’t about ‘free trade’ anyway. They’re really designed to manage trade which ensures the monopolization of power for certain multinational corporations. They are also configured by shadow players to transfer power from governments to corporations, which will lead to deeply concentrated control over the resources on our planet.

Clutha Helicopter a Crash
Radio Scotland mid day news hour, in addition to the fuel switches, we were told that the pilot had not used the Blades to reduce the impact speed. This has not been mentioned on Drive a Time, between 4pm and 6pm. (Prog continues till 6.30pm, stopped listening at 6pm).
Ben @10.34pm
You’re probably right, Ben. The neocons can wait a year, although having said that Trump is making some very off-message noises. Maybe Hillary is a more reliable placewoman, Benghazi aside.
Mr Warren
You’ve done a good job in attacking what I wrote through the use of general terms such as “obtuse”, “the clarity of mud” “not very adroitly”, “glib”, “clumsy evasion”, “inadequate waffle” and so on…….but that’s about it, isn’t it.
Where are the detailed refutations, where are the counter-arguments?
Or, to put it glibly/clumsily/unclearly/not very adroitly: where’s the beef? 🙂
