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.
I loved it when Kerry sputtered like a demented adderall purple-dranker to a non-plussed Rand Paul:
‘We’ve got to stop him from doing it AGAIN” Of course, it’s important to emphasize the stipulation that he was the one who did the first one…rinse repeat, rinse repeat.
I can’t believe i voted for him in 2004. He is impaired.
How to use 1 illegal wrongdoing to excuse the next. I hate to see lives lost [friend or foe], but for once I wish the Russian will do to the US what they did to the Nazis. This wanton, worldwide murder spree has to be stopped, and I’ve run out of every other peaceful means to do so.

“I can’t believe i voted for him in 2004.”
The triumph of hope over experience, maybe?
Still it’s good to see the propaganda doesn’t seem to have swayed most Americans this time.
Friedrich Nietzsche described the situation like this, “I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.”
It may seem a bit racist, but I am listening to black reporters and black politicos talking about how important it is to support a black POTUS. It doesn’t seem to matter that lives will be lost for absolutely no reason other than saving face for Obama, as though History and the first Black POTUS takes precedence over everything and trumps every other raison d’etre. I find it just as execrable as any other form of slavery.
@ Sofia Kibo Noh,
Q: … the country would become an international “laughingstock”.
R: It already is. A couple of decades ago mentioning you were an American [in Europe] meant you’d be invited to a home, have food and wine. Today you’ll be lucky if those bottles won’t be thrown @ u.
The sight of dead Syrians remains a sad one, as does every single picture of lives having been snuffed out prematurely. Blood is red no matter where it is shed. I know, because I’ve seen it.
“So, you kill your own people? Well, we’ll kill some more, just to show you how to be real humane!” – Obambi
Sofia; My answer to Nietzsche is always Kierkegaard.
“How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.”

We learn that lobbing from 1 to 200 missiles at Syria is most definitely not a war, but an “action”. What number of missiles must be launched to start a real old-time war? 201, 2001, 20001?
If even one missile was heading toward the US, its allies, its ships, doubt we’d consider it a mere action. Why, 4 planes targeting buildings was a most heinous act of war, setting off a never ending response.
The media is back on theme today. No longer gassed children, but from the DM to Fox US and CNN US pics are all of 2,000,000 Syrian refugees, 1,000,000 of them, yes, precious children. One family interviewed longed to return once Assad the dictator was deposed.
From whom do the big media all take their marching orders to be so well synced? The WH, CIA, MIs, Israelis, Saudis, the Rockefellers and/or the Rothschilds?
Another theme, running in the background, beginning with the US embassy closures, is the danger terrorists pose inside the US — crash planes into power plants, invade same plants and steal weapons-grade (sic) material, cyberattacks against infrastructure.
In the past week repeated mention of Syrian hacking of the recruiting page for US Marines and the New York Times site. (Like that’s an accomplishment. Is there anyone unable to hack the NYT, starting with the infamous homeless hacker.)
A shutdown of bank ATMs, eBay, YouTube, etc., for even two hours, blamed on Syrian hackers, would enrage people and call for the obliteration of that country. Who could prove Syrians didn’t do the deed?
@ Ben Franklin
Off topic: someone can run up to me and say, ‘What up, nigga?” but when I say the same thing, I’m a white mutta-ff-ing cracka…
I’ve had this discussion ova and ova again and it leads nowhere. When I worked in Africa, women wanted to sleep with me and I thought it was because I’m that hot. Of course not [as I found out later, with an ego very much in tatters], it meant their kids would be lighter skinned and have a better chance in life. It’s really sad to see all those ‘whitening products’ around the globe {Africa/Asia/South America/etc.], as if having a tan [or whatever you fancy calling it] means something’s very wrong with u.
@ NR,
Q: We learn that lobbing from 1 to 200 missiles at Syria is most definitely not a war, but an “action”.
R: I’m still trying to convince women that a blowjob ain’t sex [no luck so far].
Surgical precision? Has anyone seen with his/her own eyes what a real 500+lbs. bomb does when it explodes? Un-ff-ing believable.
Daniel; It has something to do with paying your dues. I’m more musically inclined so here’s that perspective;
Many white musicians know that the Blues are the domain of blacks, because they have suffered enough to qualify for the lyrics and culture.. Many white musicians respect this turf. To play the Blues without the dues is disrespectful. Does that make sense?
Some words of wisdom from Dylan Moran,
“The reason why that happened, all that bad feeling about America, is, apart from everything that they’ve done…
…it’s like the really bad flat-mate of the world, “Oh, sorry did I break all your shit? I didn’t know it was yours.” “
Goodnight all.
@ Ben Franklin
Q: Does that make sense?
R: Yep, it does. It’s like seeing a Japanese gospel thingie @ work. It may sound OK-ish, but it doesn’t make any sense.
‘When I say runnin’ wata, I mean the stuff that comes running down a wall…’ Sounds familiar?
Perspective is great, as long as one has something to measure it by [objectiveness/honesty].
A place for the exchange of ideas and thoughts is equally great, as long as it is not surpassed by throbbing egos hurling insults at one another [not u].
Over all, I love to learn everything/anything I don’t know a thing [or very little] about. That is what makes the internet such a stunning [and in some cases reprehensible, regurgitated puke fest] place to be connected to.
“Over all, I love to learn everything/anything I don’t know a thing [or very little] about. That is what makes the internet such a stunning [and in some cases reprehensible, regurgitated puke fest] place to be connected to.”
My exact agreement. I was just talking about it on this site. I don’t miss the Dewey Decimal system..card files, searching the section only to find the book misplaced or on loan. It’s amazing how you can chain some key words and find just about anything you want.

Thnx 4 the link. Great article.
A little known secret, Habba was one of the kibbutzim volunteers who helped clear pronto all the hundreds of tons of molten metal (visible even three weeks later on satellite pics) at the base of three 911 WTCs, before the dumb goyim started asking “silly” questions WHERE did the energy to melt all that steel came from? He continues in the same vein at this blog (it may be Jons East European refugee grandma’s fault!), only now we can see through his yarmulke and laugh him out of court as was the 70b thief madofs wife lamenting in Judge Chins NY court ” I am having to pay for his security out of my own pocket” ! Completely shamelessly and not without a considerable dollop of chosen hubris, same with our habba. But we will get him safe to Manchester like Gerald Kaufman, if only he will repent, because lets face it humanity does need a polio vaccine(and like) now & then.

Heard the ‘news’ on BBC Radio 4 today which was followed by Kissinger speaking/croaking to Justin Webb who has been sent over to Amerika. You can guess the content of their cosy chat. I felt sick and switched off.
Felt similarly sick reading the reply from my MP yesterday (same 1st class embossed envelope and watermarked expensive stationery as before). The first sentence was enough. I will be replying giving the links to use of CW by the US, the UK and Israel over the past decades.
No questions about the perpetrators as you see.
‘Thank you very much for contacting me with your concerns about Syria and I think everyone would agree that the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime is a serious crime of international concern.’
The rest of it was stuff which I and everybody knows by now. Totally pathetic.
‘I share many of your concerns and reservations about getting further involved in the conflict and alongside with many others hope that a resolution will be found. You may be interested to note that the Prime Minister gave the House of Commons an assurance that he will not use the prerogative to order the UK to be part of military action; he went on to say etc etc.’
Is your MP really necessary? 🙂
One item that I heard on the news was that Andy Murray beat the Uzbek No 1 Denis Istomin in the US Open in NY and has reached the quarter finals. Surprised to hear that Uzbekistan had a No 1. Thought that boiling humans alive and torture were the national specialities, oh and exploiting child labour.
Anyway Mr Murray appears to be a greedy type. His tennis and promotion £millions are not sufficient for his needs. He has just been thwarted on a golf course development in Surrey at Beaverbrook’s old home which is in a beautiful location where the chalk downlands have been severely damaged as you can read. Note that there are already over 140 golf courses in the county.
Out! Andy Murray set to lose £500,000 as High Court quashes plans for golf club
Another major loser will be the unique chalklands of the Leatherhead Downs, which some feel may never recover from the damage already done by the developers

In the interests of accuracy. Which is not to say AIPAC isn’t an 800-pound gorilla which has not signed the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.

Chomsky and Pilger – excerpts on Napalm
Posted by Alex on September 4, 2013, 7:39 am
US pilot in Vietnam, quoted by Noam Chomsky:
‘We sure are pleased with those backroom boys at Dow [Chemical]. The original [Napalm] product wasn’t so hot—if the gooks were quick they could scrape it off. So the boys started adding polystyrene—now it sticks like shit to a blanket. But then if the gooks jumped under water it stopped burning, so they started adding Willie Peter [white phosphorus] so’s to make it burn better. It’ll burn under water now. And just one drop is enough; it’ll keep on burning right down to the bone so they die anyway from phosphorus poisoning.’ (Quoted, Noam Chomsky, For Reasons of State, The New Press, 2003, pp. 3-4)
Pilger’s first-hand experience:
‘At least three million people died during the Vietnam War, the great majority of them civilians. My own introduction to this war against civilians was at the hospital at Can Tho in the Mekong Delta in 1967. … “I guess he’s around ten years old,” said the young American doctor, a volunteer. Before us was a child whose nose and chin had merged, whose eyes apparently could not close and whose skin, once brown, was now red and black and papery, like frayed cloth. “Beats me how these kids live through all that shit out there,” said the doctor. “This one’s been burned with Napalm B. That’s the stuff made from benzene, polystyrene and gasoline. It sticks to the body and is impossible to get off, and either burns the victim to death or suffocates him by using up all the oxygen.”‘ (John Pilger, Hidden Agendas, Vintage, 1998, pp. 555-6)
‘It sticks to the body and is impossible to get off’—‘like shit to a blanket.’

War is serious bussiness, which is presumably why Presidential wannabe McCain is playing online poker during the Senate hearings. These people are beyond contempt.

Then he has the cheek to make a sarcastic tweet – what a warmongering c*nt he is.

It’s good to have the legal aspect set out so clearly.
But would that be a deterrent to a Obama, since he could already be called to account for such acts of aggression with drones?
Does he have any more to lose in terms of fearing arrest and trial whenever he travels, once his presidency is over?
I don’t think Krishnamurky’s (‘English Knight’ etc) ejection from this blog would lead to any complaints. And it would not need a UN resolution.
Thanks for that excellent link to the PHD work, GS, its now on my FB site.
Looks like Putin is bending, today’s comments, on R4, moot that if the evidence is overwhelmingly pointing to Assad using CW’s that Russia might come on board.
Obummer must be pleased.

Re: NYT edit. Totally confusing. Sorta explained here for anyone deeply interested. It’s like reading the edit history for a Wikipedia entry.
http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2013/09/case-new-york-times-missing-aipac-gorilla-has-easy-answer/68985/
The Guardian: “Delay in allowing the UN inspectors access to the scene of the attacks, and heavy shelling before they were able to get there, appeared designed to destroy evidence.” and “It is true that the 350-1500 victims of the Ghouta attacks…”
We were told there was no point to UN inspections, since evidence degrades quickly. So where did the US acquire the irrefutable evidence of Sarin?
Al Jazerra: “Figures vary regarding the alleged chemical weapons attack on August 21, with the US government saying that 1,429 people were killed by poison gas in the attack, and aid agencies putting that number at closer to 355.”
Estimates by different organizations range from 355 to 1460:
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/08/31/more-than-week-after-suspected-chemical-weapons-attack-in-syria-no-definite/
““The president needs to talk to the American people from the Oval Office, from his desk in the Oval Office, and show the American people again these pictures of the bodies stacked up, show them the horrific situation of a million children refugees, of the 100,000 killed,” Senator McCain told CBS.”
Now the rationale is more about a humanitarian crisis than a gas attack.
Hawks say, “A strike is needed lest the world see President Obama and the United States as impotent.” Easy fix — everyone look in your spam folder and order as much Viagra and Cialis as you can afford, deliverable to the White House and Congress.
McCain has been to Syria. At whose expense?

The link to the Florida Torah academy is dead, and Moustafa’s alleged link with AIPAC is thus unverifiable, I’m afraid.
