Dear President Ahtisaari,
I had the pleasure of meeting you on a number of occasions over the years, including when I was British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, and I recall your genuine concern for democracy and human rights in a region where they are sadly neglected.
Like a great many people in Scotland I was shocked that CMI is employing Jim Murphy. Of course, in a democracy there are always losers as well as winners in elections, and both are genuine and valid participants in public life. It is not the fact that CMI employs a politician who has been so recently, comprehensively and humiliatingly rejected by his national electorate that will do any damage to CMI. In a sense I think it does you credit.
What shocks many people here is that Mr Murphy is by any standards a dedicated warmonger. He was a major and important proponent of the invasion of Iraq, and is the strongest of supporters of the massive increase of Britain’s nuclear arsenal, in breach of the Non Proliferation Treaty.
Mr Murphy is a member of the Henry Jackson Society, which as you know is a body which exists to promote United States neo-conservative foreign policy in its most aggressive sense, and openly and actively supports and condones extraordinary rendition and the use of torture by the CIA. It has supported every single military action by the USA since its formation, and defends United States exceptionalism in international law, including US non-membership of the International Criminal Court.
Mr Murphy’s belief set is therefore fundamentally at odds with the stated aims of CMI. Indeed, his employment by you can only lead to the suspicion that CMI’s stated objectives are not its real objectives, and that like Mr Murphy and the Henry Jackson Society your overriding goal in the regions where you operate is to promote the interests of the United States.
As you are funded by charitable donations and by governments, I think some explanation of your employment of Mr Murphy is in order, particularly when you have employed him as a conflict resolution expert in the Caucasus and Central Asia when he has no relevant experience of conflict resolution at all, virtually none of the Caucasus, and absolutely none of Central Asia.
I was the Head of the UK Delegation that negotiated the Sierra Leone Peace Treaty, and certainly under no circumstances would I let Jim Murphy anywhere near that kind of negotiation.
With All Best Wishes,
Amb (rtd.) Craig Murray
Ha ha ha Jemand. Glad you are here to greet The Sleeping Cells ! 😉

Latest on the Syrian peace talks in Vienna…

It’s an RT link because thus far I can’t find any reports of it in the western media.
Slav/turkic noodleman khazar mongrels with no chosen hebrew DNA, a black hole of Calcutta and a gay aussie, all of them speaking perfect yiddish, enough to make an aaronowitch or even a dershowitz proud!!?
God help us! A crypto as AoC keeping mum in these trying times for the flock. Pray where is the Englishman who used to rule the whole world, to free us from these devils who have taken over everything, from the Chairmanship of Athletics and Football and including even the PFI which is sucking the NHS dry!
You’re backtracking now, KOWN. You called the attacks “convenient”, implying agency on the part of the French authorities. You did so without a shred of evidence, rather you believe that if the attacks result in boots on the ground in Syria, then ergo that would confirm in your mind that those who want boots on the ground in Syria must have been involved in the attacks.
On its own it is pretty shoddy reasoning, but the worrying part is that you apply it to every event of this nature (it will be recalled that there is not a single false-flag conspiracy theory you do not believe in, or if there is you are yet to state it on this blog).
You have made up your mind, not half-a-day after the event, and as events unfold and others piece together what has happened, you will dismiss any evidence that contradicts your immediate conclusion. Hence when a passport appears it must have been planted, a video is released it will have been faked, a suspect admits involvement he will be a patsy, and so on.
You can’t argue with this mindset. It is a form of brainwashing but you think you are the free thinking one, “Keeping an open mind”, but in reality it is a very blinkered mind that is open only to the false-flag narrative you want to believe and it shuts everything else out. When has your “open mind” ever come to any other conclusion?

By a ‘blind’ man at that! Many more blind on here, I should say!! Shhhh, sorry don’t want to disturb The Sleeping Cells on a Sunday LOL!!!
I think I’m owed an apology by Glenn and one or two others, for attacking my suggestion that allowing large-scale migration from Middle East and North Africa provides ample opportunity for terrorists to enter and carry out attacks in Europe. 1.5 million a year to Germany alone and we have very little idea who they are or where they come from. Indeed it is now looking likely that some of the terrorists involved in the Paris attacks were travelling on faked Syrian passports so as to obtain entry as refugees.
Glenn said I was trying to score political points and Node called me a racist.
Anon, you gotta take these fictionists with a fistful of salt. Be careful in puncturing their self-esteem, actually founded on helping people in denial.

Feel it in the temple of your Heart. Commiserations to the friends and families of the innocent left dead in Paris.
And greetings to you, Alcyone.
The responses to the Paris attacks are being read from old scripts. You could literally change the proper nouns and it could speak for every historical terrorist incident.
Sadly but predictably, these incidents will continue until MENA oil runs out or an alternative source of energy can be found to fuel the Western economic juggernaut. When that time arrives, it will be open season on Islam.
I love it when the trolls chat away to each other. They have to bolster each other up.
One of the attackers has been identified, Ismail Mostefai, a French citizen who lived just south of Paris.
I believe that Saudi Arabia is making strategic investments in the Islamisation of Europe, the US, Australia et al. By having large numbers of muslims in Western democracies, they make the military invasion and occupation of the home of Mecca, politically problematic.
The Saudi royal family know that their days are numbered. The US will demand exclusive access to oil and they might need to take over those fields to ensure that. But any threat to Mecca risks the mobilisation of many hundres of thousands of angry muslims and could unite Shia and Sunnis alike to resist occupation
Mary, glad we have taught you, and you have learnt, to love anything at all.
We have brought you a long way from crying to the moderator that “the trolls even talk to each other”! LOL !!!
Your grip on this ite has been lost forever since the sane voices of Habby, Resident Dissident, Jemand, Anon and some others have arrived here.
Take your time to realise how irrelevant you are, you poor thing(y).
PS Where are Dreolin and Technicolour? Anyone?
You’re quacking like an old troll Mary. Why would you object to people discussing things that you are incapable of understanding?
Jealous, perhaps?
Greetings Jemand.
Excellent observations, insights I should say, my friend.
PS I think Habby should change his terminology of The Original Trolls, a misnomer since there is nothing original about them whatsoever.
How about The Old Trolls? Credit to you!
“False-flag is the default assumption to make, as it’s the most probable.”
____________________
And there you have, in a nutshell, the position of most of the Eminences and Original Trolls of this blog : start with the false flag (conspiracy) idea.
That is very twisted “thinking”.
Mary, anything from you The Original Bigot, on the Jewishness of Albert Einstein, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, some of my favourite men?
Who’s favourite are you, ‘Macky’ aside? Where is she, the voracious internet warrior?
What a joke you are.
My word! I am getting a lot of attention from the school playground.
I see that Jemand, an irregular visitor here, has taken off his link to racist Pat Condell’s videos which followed ‘Why won’t God help amputees’ or similar. You can get the measure of the troll from those links.
Back to the painting.
Good to see you Habby! Taming (even Caning) the Shrew 😉
Have a good Sunday, friend!

A fair question for someone like yourself who uses expressions like “a bull-dyke”,- on this blog, surely?
Do you also use expressions like “yid” and “nigger” when you’re feeling mellow?
You are a disgusting, hypôcritical, braindead poece of shit, Ben?

Are you shacked up with George Bush?

Good to see you back on here and have a great day as well!
And yes, it’s good to shake one’s spear at the old shrew, it usually stirs up quite a tempest and that’s as some of us like it.
Thank you Habby. I need the good wishes as my endeavour today is to confront a mound of paperwork….all in the process of creating order. Constant losing battle but soldiering on. My least favourite thing in Life.
I’ll be popping in, or keeping one eye out. May lighten the load?!
Stay well and healthy and keep them sane!
re Captagon, being advertised by Mary, TonyM and Monsewer Golding:
“‘This is all a very big game. And captagon is not just some recreational drug, intended for underground nightclubs in the Gulf, and for notorious private orgies in Saudi Arabia. It is, as I was told by local experts, a “drug that makes one extremely brutal; a drug, which destroys all fear”. It is a “combat narcotic”, which has been given mainly to the ISIS fighters.”
_________________
Why are the same people who (correctly) mocked claims that Ghaddafi’s troops were fed with Viagra before going into combat running with this “story” about Captagon?
Mary – Monsewer Golding – TonyM : can you explain to your eager readers why you rubbish the one story but push the other?
Off topic but relevant to the Paris atrocities.
To counteract the unbelievers in Govt issued B..S, the CIA ‘dirty tricks ‘ department came up with the term ‘conspiracy theorist’.
This is a play directly out of the book of Edward Louis Bernays ‘Propaganda’. Discredit,demonise ,deride and degrade your opponent”.
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.
The few who are aware of the manipulations of Govt via their control of the MSM communications are always going to be fighting an uphill battle.
Fear,Uncertainty, Doubt (FUD) are the tools of Creative Tension. These were the objectives of the well known Operation Gladio,put into operation after WW2.
This Creative Tension gives a Govt the ability to introduce yet more repressive laws. Indeed the citizens will beg for them.
Those gullible citizens who believe that “our government would never kill its own people” have much understanding to gain from knowledge of Operation Gladio and Northwoods Project, about which much information is available on the Internet and in parliamentary investigations and officially released secret documents.
Another superbly definitive definition if the mindset of KOWN and other Eminences and Old Trolls from Anon1 at 11h00 today.
However, I should like to give KOWN an opportunity to redeem himself (partially).
With the benefit of hindsight, does KOWN bow still believe that the previous Paris killings (the Jewish delicatessen, etc) were a false flag operation? A simple yes or no would suffice.

Following that discovered ‘Syrian passport’, the narrative now being pushed by the western media is that one of the Paris attackers ‘sneaked into Europe’, pretending to be a refugee.
It’s like reading the Beano.
Does anyone seriously think that a terrorist would spend days and weeks, in extreme hardship, and with no guarantee of reaching their destination, in order to carry out an attack?
ISIS aren’t short of money. A false passport and a first class airfare seems more likely.
I wonder if I am alone in suspecting that certain “commenters” on here get a hard-on by writing the word “Gladio”?
I would say to those “commenters” – there are more agreeable ways of achieving that result. But of course feel free to continue if that’s the only course available.
O also note that Ben Weed-Smoker’s use of the expression “a bull-dyke” went unchallenged (but surely not unnoticed) by those guardians of politico-sexual correctness like Becky Cohen and Mary……
Or perhaps they’ve had a word with the Weed-Smoker in private?
