Breathtaking hypocrisy.

John Kerry careful not to rule out return to UN for Syria resolution



                            






                                     



The hypocrisy of the whole clamour by the west to attack Syria is is nauseating, not only in the way that lies, distortion and half truth is being turned into "irrefutable evidence" but also in the complete disregard of equally obscene events in other countries. The fundamental difference is that the "obscene events" in other countries are evidenced, filmed, reported, photographed and proved without any shadow of doubt, but are totally ignored by "the west" generally and by the United States in particular.
Kerry said ""Those videos make it clear to people that these are real human beings, real children, parents being affected in ways that are unacceptable to anybody, anywhere by any standards, and the United States of America that has always stood with others to say we will not allow this this is not our values, it's not who we are."
Breathtaking hypocrisy. Perhaps Kerry and other American "leaders" believe that the world has not noticed or that in other cases the phrase "Well, that's different" has some sort of effect which justifies the killing of men, women and children. In Palestine generally and Gaza in particular, the Israeli army of occupation together with the Israeli air force, have been killing Palestinian men women and children for many years and have been using some of the most evil weaponry (short of nuclear, so far) ever devised by man, and much of which incidentally has been financed and supplied by the United States.
To ignore, as the west does on a daily basis, the killing of civilians in Palestine but argue hysterically for military intervention in Syria beggars belief, particularly when such intervention is "justified" by unproven myth and dubious "facts".
The hidden agenda for American aggression against Syria seems to justify any "selective outrage".

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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
