    In other ignored news….http://thebricspost.com/as-ukraine-refugees-rise-putin-urges-national-dialogue/#.U6RV-CgcWFI

    “Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged for a national dialogue without delay even as authorities released figures that revealed nearly 19,000 refugees have fled from Ukraine to Russia.
    “In particular, Putin voiced serious concerns about the military operation that Kiev is continuing in the southeastern part of Ukraine,” said a Kremlin statement.

    According to latest statistics given by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, the number of reported refugees from Ukraine has exceeded 18,900.”

    all those Russian speaking persons must not see the overwhelming Russian forces present in Ukraine.

    For those here who would demonize the Iraqi people.

    From Stephen Said, who wishes for a better world.

    Dear friends, Greetings. I am sharing with you my latest urgent op-ed today, “Healing Iraq, Healing the World.” It focuses on Iraq’s greatest hope, its youth, and their work with me on a music video for unity that is pressing, not only for Iraq and the entire Middle East, but for all of us. Please share, and help spread the word. Do reach me if you can help us building momentum. I’ve copied below a draft tweet/Facebook post with both the shortened and full link to the Huffington Post article, as well as the text of the piece below for your ease.

    Thank you, and peace,

    Project Update #11: Sign an important petition to get Tony Blair sacked as the “Peace Envoy”:
    http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/ban-ki-moon-sack-tony-blair-as-the-middle-east-peace-envoy

    Friends,

    I trust that you, like me, will have been appalled by Tony Blair’s recent delusional claims that the current situation in Iraq is not a legacy of the invasion and occupation. What we have known for a long time has now become clear for all to see: Blair has lost the plot.

    With Blair being lambasted across the media, this is a moment to seize. Today we are launching a campaign calling for Tony Blair to be sacked as the Middle East “Peace Envoy” (www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/ban-ki-moon-sack-tony-blair-as-the-middle-east-peace-envoy). The campaign is called #SackBlair, and begins right here with this petition. Noam Chomsky and Ken Livingstone are already supporting this, among many others. This could be big.

    I want to build the same momentum we did when we crowd-funded this documentary back in August. If all of you sign this petition and share it as widely as possible, we will be well on our way to doing so. I think by this weekend we can have #SackBlair ‘trending’ on Twitter.

    Finally, here is a challenge for the more tech-savvy among you: to create memes with the theme of Tony Blair as the Peace Envoy. We will then share the best memes through the documentary’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. NB memes containing bad language and any form of racial or religious prejudice will not be accepted!

    We will keep you updated with much more to come. This petition is just the beginning…

    Please sign the petition: http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/ban-ki-moon-sack-tony-blair-as-the-middle-east-peace-envoy

    Yours,

    I believe Craig’s point is that Brazil is a racist country. surely at some time we have to develope a system for making value judgements that is more sophisticated than what we are shown by MSM.

    The UK is constantly engaged in setting up programs under the banner of sport, or aid, or assistance that can be manipulated to cause the recipients harm, or loss of resources or loss of reputation.

    In these terms there is no more racist country than the UK while Brazil has welcomed very large numbers of Palestians. The UK only lets in outsiders on its own terms, for its own purposes and it never does anything to cross Zionism.

    All over the world the UK promotes smoking and football. Cui bono learned addictive behaviour? The people who want to strip your assets and you don’t complain.

  • Fedup

    Thanks Sofia, I have heeded your advice and now can scroll a lot less through the threads and keep up with the latest a lot faster.

    However catching my attention are the interesting contributions of the the resident “Imam” whom convincingly (not) masquerades as the foremost authority on all things Islamic only to further paint the Muslims as the barbarians and the terrorists that they are.

    Needless to point out the poor lassy who was reading English prior to taking up her PhD research getting stabbed frenetically by a bigot and a Muslim hater in Colchester is not a matter of anti Islamism and clearly not a case for concern. There are plenty more of the “bitches” who can breed more “terrorists” to go and get on with their “Jihad”!

    Further of no concern are the “England First” bigots whom march into the mosques and disrupt the Muslims prayers and acts of worship only to proceed to “hand out British Army Bibles” is not an act of terror and sectarian hatred.

    The pitiful fact is despite the clear and present danger to any Muslim in UK the hate mongers are relentless in portraying the Muslims in even more negative countenance. Thus the pontification:

    It is not helpful to tell Muslims to heal by using Haram. Music is Haram.

    As in Boko Haram I suppose! Any more memes anyone?

    Yeahp the resident “Imam” then gets on with “analysis” about Iraq and its break up to three sectors; this he concludes all by himself (Iran is to be blamed, and the Shia are the oppressors), and no one ever thought of this before. Never mind PANC and its copious documentation in the way of planning for this outcome from the word go, before Iraq was invaded to rid it from “weapons of mass destructions”, that is not counting the tonnes of depleted uranium that has been since deposited by the exploding shells and the bombs all over the place in Iraq in Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL).

    Further the fact that Kurds are resident in all of the surrounding countries (Syria, Turkey, Iran) and can be induced to start fighting a sectarian/irredentist war for the next hundred years is really not the reason for the PANC to embark on such a calamitous course of action.

    However this evidently unstoppable march of hatred of Muslims is an attempt in extirpating any and all Muslims across the planet; in zionistan, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Colchester, …… all in the aid of manufacturing the necessary consent for the expansion of the ongoing wars on all those inhabiting the mid east in the way of creating a safe haven for poor, poor zionists to live safely out of the harms way of the ill wishers and the “antisemi…..”. Muslims do the dying and the zionists are reeling from the indignity of hate targeted at them!!!!!

    What’s the difference between an ISIS member raping a young woman who belongs to the Shi’a sect and a bloke passing through Colchester stabbing to death a young woman because she’s wearing clothes from a different culture to his own? Both are hatred of the other. It’s a common human delusion. I get prejudice from Asian Muslims for being English and I get prejudice from you for being Muslim. Not all fuckwits are zios.

  • Resident Dissident

    “As a critic of Western democracy, I have disproved your claim that “… those who attack western democracy are always rather less vocal on the alternatives that they would like to see.”

    I don’t think so – just because you have provided an alternative when prompted doesn’t mean you spend less time attacking western democracy – perhaps you might wish to a count of your own posts.

    I must say that your attempt at an alternative is pretty poor

    – it is hardly democratic to select any leaders by lottery or the readers of this blog
    – the idea that the media should be relied upon for detailed scrutiny of policies is laughable (though of course I suspect your hidden agenda would involve some prior changes in who controlled the media)
    – rather a lot of people would prefer to have more than a month off politics every year
    – people who say “Our democracy is designed as a means to make people believe that they are in control whilst in actual fact they are being controlled.” don’t strike me as ones who are likely to respect the views of people when they disagree with their own – which is of course the essence of democracy
    – the talk of requiring revolution and machine gunning also hardly suggest much of a democratic ethos – what if people don’t want revolutions and machine gunning – a pretty infrequent request I think when I go canvassing.

    All pretty hopeless the ends justify the means stuff I’m afraid – which is of course why many revolutionaries end up thinking they know better than the people and quickly drop the lip service to democracy.

    I have nothing against genuine means that get people more involved in democracy of their own volition – but is pretty clear to me that is not what you are looking for.

  • Fedup

    Guano,

    Prejudice towards you, you wish!

    What is the relevance of the ISIS criminal thugs to the hateful minger who stabs a poor woman to death for simply being a Muslim?

    Time and again you have claimed you are a Muslim, I simply do not believe you, based on your convoluted and mixed up posts that indicate you are anything but a Muslim.

    Considering the fact that anyone who surfs the net ought to know by now that ISIS (not the real name but a Western Id invented based on a rough translation to call these thugs) are in fact creatures of the pederasts in the Al Saud Mafia, that has been treating the oil revenue of the “Kingdom” as their own pocket money, and have been lavishing it in the way of buying influence. The same bunch of unholy satanic perverts funded George Bu$h to set up his hit team of Cheney, Rummy, Condy Rice et al and to end up in the Whitehouse, and then helped the aforementioned bunch of crooks to get on with total destruction of the Mid east, at the behest of the sponsors of zionistan.

    So far the al Saud Mafia has been exerting every effort to peddle influence in the mid east through aiding and abetting the US and its attack dog namely zionistan, and in this way they have seen off Gaddafi, and were busy with serving Assad’s head on a pike staff in the way of stoking up the next war with Lebanon and finally with Iran, before their plans came to grinding halt.

    The so called ISIS “personnel” are the dredges of the Saudi penal system and other jails’ inmates across the Saudi Friendly Arab Emirates whom have been given the choice of go to “Jihad in Syria/Iraq or stay put and get executed?” Hence the rapes that you mention, you as a “Muslim” should know that the conduct of soldiers in war for Islamic nations (Don’t include the Afghans as a clever trick) are not akin to the conduct of the war by soldiers from Western/African nations. The comrades of the rapist would have shot the perpetrator before he had managed to pull down his zipper!

    However you equate the conduct of the blood thirsty unhinged pathological ISIS criminals with the conduct of a hate filled minger who is encouraged by the constant drip feed of hatred towards Muslims to lash out and cover up his inadequaces by stabbing a helpless Muslim woman, as in the case of the other pathetic Ukrainian zionist (not a mention of it in the corporate press) whom had stabbed in the back and killed an eighty year old Muslim on his way home, after attending mosque for worship. The same pathetic inadequate who had been setting off bombs in the vicinity of mosques. More alarmingly the bombing had been considered as car back firing by the cops attending the incident and only two weeks after the event had the cops “noticed” there had been a bomb set off!

    This is the extent of indifference and hatred towards Muslims in UK, which evidently is not considered hatred and is not considered unacceptable. Go hang around a certain religious temple for a whole three minutes and see how many police units will be descending upon you to find out why are you in the area? But you should know that, given your constant denunciation of the Muslims; these days Asian Muslims. Which Asians do you have in mind? Asia is a huge continent and is home to many differing nations!

    The simple fact is, you are interloping as a Muslim only to further stoke up hatred against Muslims.

    This is in line with the constant drum beat of “antisemi….. “ are everywhere and poor, poor zionists. While the Muslims are doing the dying, there again they are on their way to check in for their umpteen virgins as the world knows! So really killing Muslims is an act of compassion really, isn’t it? To what degree the zionist agenda is to be followed? All the while every effort is to be spent in suppressing any dissent against such monstrous tartuffes as ranting of “antisemi….” that ought to be censored, after all freedom of speech does not allow for running into theatre and shouting fire! As the good rabbis keep telling us all.

    Res Diss, you’re just being silly, begging the question whether revolution as proposed is necessarily violent. Here’s a person who has thought much more about it than you have done, and he doesn’t say any such thing.

    http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/jun/19/open-source-revolution-conquer-one-percent-cia-spy

    In case you don’t know him, Steele is a secular saint. Back when he was starting Open Source Solutions he telegraphed the NSA’s network sabotage plans with a public in-joke. At that time NSA’s reflex reaction to privacy technology was to criminalize open-source cryptography. That first line of defense was already failing and as a fallback, NSA resorted to sabotage of public network infrastructure.

    Steele’s ever so right about classified. The pointless boring crap that passed for secrets was one big thing that drove this apparatchik out of the deep state to see the world.

    It’s significant that Steele makes a big deal of the UN High-Level Panel report. “Eastern alternative banking and alternative international development capabilities” – that’s UNCTAD and the G-77. The alternative is really Southern, or strictly speaking global. It’s Dumbarton Oaks as an alternative to Bretton Woods – the idea that people don’t exist to serve economies, economies exist to serve peoples. Steele’s tribes are what the G-77 calls the public at large, and the message is the same, associate.

    The US is engaged in bureaucratic warfare with UNCTAD, and the conflict explains a lot of the significant things happening in the international space: CELAC and the SCO, obviously, the Chiang Mai inititiative, but also UNSC reform efforts. The UN Charter underpins so much of the international order that the world wants to keep it at all costs. At the same time, P-5 status and the veto permits US impunity. So for 20 years the world has been fighting to reform the UNSC. US aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan galvanized the reform efforts. You will never ever hear about it domestically because it’s a crucial part of this revolution and it’s coming closer all the time.

    Sofia,

    True, Tapsel has started to speak the unspoken, wait and see if the damn will be breeched and the bLiar will end up sitting in the same witness box as Radovan Karadzic, Ratko Mladic et al.

    Although his zionist sponsors have been busy fire fighting in their respective rags portraying the current tsunami of derision swamping bLiar as the work of his political opponents and their visceral hatred that is born out of their jealousy!!! These are holding that people in UK like bLiar, and his polcies.

    I caught a clip of Cheney and his daughter getting interviewed on faux. The temerity of the draft dodger of the yesteryears and eternal current coffin dodger has no end. He is blaming the fiasco in Iraq on Obama, and his daughter agreed too.

    Talkin bout a revolution.

    It’s important to remember that Revolution is not a willed act amongst the peeps. That’s lazy French post modern crap.

    Revolution is when elites discover there is much more dosh to be made, doing things in a way which deeply challenges the way it was done in the past.

    That puts those who rose to the top in the old way at odds with those who are most pushing the new way.

    There’s a fight. The new way wins. Always does. Much easier to recruit to the new than the boring old thing which has had plenty of time to bring resentment upon it.

    A totally fictional story is created about the wondrous event. It too is celebrated, until, in time, it becomes worn and old.

    And round and round we go.

    Until, at least, we wrest ourselves from the grip of the central banking dynasties.

    Raping Shi’a girls and killing them was one of the threats ISIS put out on a Kurdish TV station. No doubt that was just to rattle their enemy, but plenty of that has already gone on in Syria, well-documented. ISIS is controlled by the CIA. this is not Allah unfolding a Caliphah in the Middle East. This is a Zionist plan to twist Islam into neo-Calvinistic monster.

    They tried to recruit me to this sort of group years ago. Every Muslim group, Sufi, Salafi or Jihadi that chats you up with food and smiles, and you listen and decide to reject them, will continue to relentlessly persecute you, spy on you and spread malicious rumours about you because you rejected their sweet-talk into committing sin.

    As the ISIS follower’s dad said on the radio. Let the mullahs send their own sons, not somebody else’s sons. They don’t mind even sending their own sons, if the CIA is going to give them a taste of worldly power they cannot obtain by logical persuasion.
