The Tony Blair House Journal (editor Alan Rusbridger) reports on Kanye West’s disgusting private performance for the Kazakh dictator and his family, and takes a sideswipe at David Cameron for visiting that country.
But peculiarly they fail to mention that Tony Blair receives US $4 million a year as a consultant to the worker murdering Kazakh dictator, and that Alistair Campbell and Jonathon Powell as well as Blair visit to give this support – which has included a behind the scenes campaign to help Nazarbaev win the Nobel Peace Prize, fortunately with no result to date.
Doug Scorgie says –
“Villager, it matters not whether Habbabkuk is a Jew, this is not a racist blog.”
Maybe the blog isn’t, but you certainly are with your obsession with the cult of “race”.
“I once suggested that Habbabkuk was a Zionist and instead of admitting or denying that charge he demanded evidence from me.”
Do you often go around “charging” people with Zionism as if it were a crime and then think it “strange” that they put the onus of proof back on you, the accuser?
What an arrogant little prick you are Dougie.
Colin “Ice-cream Van” Powell has a chance to escape from the hottest part of Hell now! All he has to do is speak out about this evil spin emanating from the Pentagon Psyops Division, he is especially well acquainted with it. “Hyman Minsky” is all over the net/MSM urging war, that in itself should be enough proof this was a false flag with the mass well synced ranks of the Synagogue of Satan at work, yet again.
But the dumb Romans never learn (they would kill another Son of Man again today), and now of course there is another episode of the Kim Kardashian reality show to serve as an additional distraction.
The solution is very simple, the israeli “intercept” have to be made public BEFORE any strike. Comical Shlomo with his cousin Comical Ali, will have clearly given themselves away with an overdramatic propaganda in a bid to fool the Romans, like the concocted “auschwitz” IDF/Mavi Marmara crew conversation. Putin might also show a small Russian home video to his G20 guests, “utter nonsense” “liar” “sad” are the words he has used, he knows what he is talking about, the glum faces will be reversed compared to the Ireland summit.
But there is a better solution, the Russians simply have to bring in a mirror resolution in the UNSC only with real PROOF (they already have it) that CW have actually been used by Chemical Bandar & Co rebels. After a US veto they go on to Iskander missile every rebel position on “humanitarian” intervention grounds as okayed in the recent ruling by our latest Lord Goldberg AG !
BTW- I have archived the BBC napalm “zombie” approaching the cameraman video used to foment horror over CW attack, under the heading – Comical Ali and the BBC. Now we wait for the audio/transcripts of Kerry/Rifkind three “compelling” intercepts 1) Syrian soldier panicking to his superiors (implicating Syrian Army) 2) Syrian commander threatened with execution if he does not carry out CW shelling (Assad now responsible) 3) Hezbo underling calling Tehran handler, “Assad reckless in carrying out CW attack” (drawing Iran into the frame). All to be archived as Comical Shlomo and Kerry/Rifkind.
I watched Samantha Power put her case forward for ignoring the UN, and the UNSC because of Russia’s veto. It made it impossible to come to US conclusions.
F-****n Hypocritical Bastards !

Tony Blair: Iraq War made UK ‘hesitant’ over Syria intervention
Tony Blair There is a “fundamental battle” being waged within Islam, Mr Blair said.
Protracted difficulties following the invasion of Iraq made the UK “hesitant” to intervene in Syria, former Prime Minister Tony Blair has said.
In a BBC interview, Mr Blair played down the influence of the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq on the UK Parliament’s decision to block military action in Syria.
Iraq had shown that interventions can be “very difficult”, he conceded.
But Syria, left unchecked, could become a potent source of extremists, he said.
Mr Blair, Middle East envoy for the Quartet of the United Nations, United States, European Union and Russia, warned that without foreign intervention, “you will have an Assad-dominated state, and that means in this instance an Iran-dominated state, probably around the borders of Lebanon and controlling most of the wealth of Syria.
“And then you’ll have a larger geographical hinterland to the east that will be controlled by various Sunni groups, most of whom are likely in these circumstances to be extreme, and you could have a breeding ground for extremism actually much worse and much more potent than Afghanistan.”
There was no question that chemical weapons had been used in Syria, he suggested, so UK MPs had not voted against intervention because they did not trust the government’s assessment of the threat Syria poses.

@ Daniel Rich
“@ BrianFujisan + NR: Unfortunately for us mere mortals, we’re not privy to anything [you know, the stuff from behind closed door and curtains]. However, if everybody keeps dragging in links to a variety of articles, we can search for the one thing that always gives lies away: inconsistencies.”
I posted this above, “Sept 04: Kerry assured the world Sunday [Sept 01] that traces of sarin were found on blood and hair samples collected from emergency workers responding to the scene.”
Predating that is, “Aug 25: But a second U.S. official said Sunday [Aug 25] that tissue samples were collected from the scene in the hours and days after the August 21 attack. The official says the evidence was “collected by multiple international sources” and was being analyzed in secure locations. The official would not say how the samples were collected or specify where the analysis was taking place.”
http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/25/world/meast/syria-civil-war/index.html?eref=rss_mostpopular
On Aug 25 they say they have tissue samples yet on Sept 01 the tale changes to hair/blood collected from/by/on rescuers. Possibly both are true, one is true, neither is true.
Senators McCain and Feinstein admit constituents in their respective states are heavily opposed to military action. McCain hopes opinion turns around. Feinstein regrets people are unable to see classified info she’s seen. Both call on Obama to speak to the nation and sell his plan to strike Syria.

Then you can all learn why it’s such a good thing to spend money you haven’t got on supporting people you don’t like in an indefinite conflict with a regime you used tacitly to encourage, on the basis of nebulous evidence. As you have probably forgotten.
To feature an extended interview with Tony Blair, you lucky people. Wonder if he did it for free, lol. Previewed this morning, he reckons that his knowingly supplying false intelligence in justification of an act of war against a sovereign state didn’t affect the Commons vote on Syria. He should be at the Fringe.

The Blood-Soaked Resumé of a Peace Broker
What John Kerry Really Did in Vietnam
by JEFFREY ST. CLAIR
With John Kerry currently in full Henry Kissinger regalia, parading around the Middle East, brow-beating the Palestinians and their allies in the region and Europe into signing onto a deeply flawed peace accord that primarily serves Israeli and American interests, it may prove a useful exercise to inspect the curriculum vitae of this putative peace-maker, especially during those formative years when the Secretary of State first carved out his name in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Though Kerry has a reputation as an anti-war activist, his brief tenure in Vietnam and Cambodia was notable both for acts of casual savagery and his striking lack of contrition for his own participation in atrocities that in a rational society might easily be classified as war crimes.–JSC
In his senior year at Yale in 1966 John Kerry enlisted in the US Navy, with his actual induction scheduled for the summer, after his graduation. Already notorious among his contemporaries for his political ambition, he’d maneuvered himself into the top slot at the Yale political union, while also winning admission to Skull and Bones.
While George W. Bush, two years behind Kerry, was seeking commercial opportunity at Yale by selling ounce bags of cocaine, (so one contemporary has recalled) Kerry was keeping a vigilant eye on the political temperature and duly noted a contradiction between his personal commitment to go to war and the growing antiwar sentiment among the masses, some of whom he hoped would vote for him at a not too distant time.

Sorry Mary – I see you’ve already done him. Still, it seems as if the penny is slowly dropping:
“And then you’ll have a larger geographical hinterland to the east that will be controlled by various Sunni groups, most of whom are likely in these circumstances to be extreme, and you could have a breeding ground for extremism actually much worse and much more potent than Afghanistan.”
Hmmm, yes. It’s called Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Let’s invade them now!
Wow, Donny Darko! Thanks for the US veto list, including:
1979 Opposes support for intervention* in the internal or external affairs of states.
* Implied qualification: “by the Soviet Union”
Also in 1979:
July 3 – U.S. President Jimmy Carter signs the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul
Plus ca change.
@ Mary – “Mr Blair played down the influence of the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq on the UK Parliament’s decision to block military action in Syria.”
James Carville, Democratic Party strategist and Clinton pit bull blames Bush for Obama’s woes. The failure to find WMDs soured the public on intel and now they won’t believe our most excellent intel.
Blair seems to be a little out of line with his new spiritual home:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/the-pope/10288668/Syria-crisis-Pope-tells-Vladimir-Putin-world-leaders-have-allowed-senseless-massacre.html
I would substitute “promoted” for “allowed” in the title, but otherwise, yes.
On Peter Day’s In Business on Radio 4 about UAVs, at 20 mins in, a Craig Hoyle of Flight International spoke of ‘several instances of Hezbollah militants flying drones over Israel which had taken off from the Gaza Strip.’ This was said in the context of drones delivering military cargoes. What nonsense. See how the little seeds of propaganda are planted to grow into big trees.

Civilian Drones
Duration: 30 minutes
First broadcast:Thursday 05 September 2013
For decades, unpersoned planes have been used by the military in places such as Afghanistan and Pakistan to watch the ground and deliver weapons controlled by remote pilots thousands of kilometres away. But now companies and experts are putting their minds to turning military drones into civilian vehicles that can do things cheaper and better than piloted planes. Peter Day investigates unmanned aerial vehicles and how they are already being used by farmers and the police. Also, could a drone be delivering your pizza in the not too distant future?

Note the sentence does not refer to the oil companies, but the Pentagon, the private security outfit for the said fucking oil companies.
Clearly Assad regime is a regime that has used WMD, and is seeking to acquire weapons that no human has ever thought of; from the alien visitors, whom in return for the water in the Med, will supply Assad with solar system destroying anti matter bombs, and even worse, than worse than, that shit weapon!
@ NR,
Thanks for the link. It also reminds me of Bill ‘I didn’t shag that
bitchwoman’ Clinton’s surefire proof, that resulted in ‘Operation Infinite Reach’ [1998] and the destruction of the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan. In [an allegedly] retaliation for the August 7 truck bomb attacks on its embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya… LINK.“Critics of the attack have estimated that up to tens of thousands of Sudanese civilians died throughout Sudan as the supply of necessary drugs was cut off.”

The Russians are rotating their presence in the Med:
MOSCOW, September 4 (RIA Novosti) – A new group of ships from Russia’s Black Sea Fleet will join the country’s Mediterranean task force within days, a high-ranking Defense Ministry source told RIA Novosti Wednesday.
The task force currently includes vessels from the Pacific, Northern, Baltic and Black Sea fleets: the destroyer Admiral Panteleyev, the large amphibious landing ships Admiral Nevelsky and Alexander Shabalin, the frigate Neustrashimy, and a number of support and auxiliary vessels.
The new group includes the large amphibious landing ships Novocherkassk and Minsk and the electronic intelligence ship Priazovye. It will relieve the current task force as soon as it passes through the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits, which is expected Thursday or Friday, the source said.
A high-ranking representative of the General Staff told RIA Novosti the Slava class guided missile cruiser Moskva, which is currently in the Atlantic, will arrive in the Mediterranean on September 17, adding that operational command will then be transferred from the Admiral Panteleyev to the Moskva.
Two guided missile corvettes, Shtil and Ivanovets (Nanuchka 3 and Tarantul class respectively) will arrive in the area on September 29, the General Staff said.
The Defense Ministry source earlier said there are also plans to send another two Black Sea Fleet warships – the Kashin class frigate Smetlivy and the Alligator class large amphibious landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov.
A military-diplomatic source in Moscow told RIA Novosti on Tuesday Russia’s naval force in the Mediterranean Sea will not be expanded despite the worsening situation in the region. He also said Russia’s existing flotillas in the Mediterranean are undergoing routine rotations, and stressed “this is a regular rotation process, planned at the start of the year.”

I predict that Obama will lose the vote in Congress. There are too many against him – Democrats because they are against war, and Republicans because they are against Obama.
If Obama does pull this off (which I doubt) it would be worthy of inspiring an episode in a sequel to The West Wing, should it ever come.

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/us-backed-syrian-rebel-commander-israel-enemy-country-assad-and
On CBS’s “Face the Nation” on June 2, Sen. John McCain recalled a trip he had made the week before to Turkey, and then across the border into a rebel-held section of Syria, where he met with some leaders of the Syrian rebellion.
“So I met them,” said McCain. “General Idris, who is the commander of the military inside Syria, escorted me in and out. He’s a fine leader.”
Oops.

Words fail me when it comes to guys like Blair and Bradshaw. On the BBC today, the master talks about “interventions” (corporation-speak for invading other countries) being “very difficult” because of Iraq, while, in today’s Guardian, the acoltye says the Labour Party has a “strong and proud tradition of supporting humanitarian intervention.”
Here’s the Party’s most celebrated legacy: A million dead and four million refugees. A country’s infrastructure in ruins. A nasty regime executing political opponents. Huge rises in birth deformities where depleted uranium and white phosphorus have been used. And all of it based on lies.
Yes, Tony, Iraq has indeed made “intervention” very difficult. Difficult also to see the humanitarianism in that list of horror, Ben.
Death and destruction on a vast scale has been made virtuous. Evil has become good.
“The devil can cite scripture for his purpose.”
Well done, Ed Milliband. Last week’s vote might just signal the beginning of the end of the neocon nightmare.
