Egypt's ousting of Mohamed Morsi was a coup, says John McCain

Finally, one American at least is prepared to stop prevaricating, lying, misrepresenting and evading what the whole world knows to be  fact. The simple truth is that on July 3rd 2013, Mohamed Morsi, the elected President of Egypt, was overthrown by a military coup led by Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and replaced with the puppet Adly Mansour. What is, in all but name, a military dictatorship had replaced a democratic President and returned Egypt to the days of SCAF running the country with Mubarak, Sadat and Nasser (who at least had the "honesty" not to appoint a front man as puppet President) as the public face.

McCain's choice or words may have legal ramifications for the American government in respect of aid to Egypt, but it seems clear that  Obama and the Administration are determined to deny reality and continue to pour money and weapons into the hands of the ruling junta. Already, the State Department's Jen Psaki said: "Senators McCain and Graham are certainly entitled to their opinions … The US government has stated what our opinion is."
When the United States governments "opinion" flies in the face of reality the world may be forgiven for thinking and saying that America is a country governed by a derisive government of business and defence industry interests and led by a cynical and hypocritical President.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
