Sanctions hit the sick and elderly..



 Hundreds of thousands of Iranians with serious illnesses have been put at imminent risk by the  consequences of international sanctions.

Sanctions imposed on Iran and instigated by Israel and the United states, are without doubt the greatest act of hypocrisy that the western world has indulged in for decades. Lacking proof or justification, Israel, who has never signed the non proliferation treaty despite having a significant arsenal of nuclear weapons, and the United States, which has a nuclear capability sufficient to destroy this planet hundreds of times over, are inflicting pain and hardships on the ordinary people of Iran, and the rest of the "International Community" is blindly joining in this barbaric infliction of collective punishment. The propaganda, dis information and blatant lies of Israel and the United States, has led to the acceptance of the "Iranian threat" myth by many people in the west whose thoughts and opinions are now driven by fear rather than logic. This tactic has been employed many times in the past to justify some act of aggression or military intervention to meet a hidden agenda and to gain acceptance or some semblance of credibility with the public. People in the west are sleepwalking into a nightmare engineered in Washington and Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the people of Iran are living the nightmare of shortages in food, essential drugs and other supplies as did the people of Iraq previously and of other nations before and since. With a few notable exceptions, blanket sanctions have never worked to bring about the result so craved by the west. When the majority of a nations population support the actions of their government the evidence suggests that they are more likely to endure the privations of sanctions and develop a growing determination to resist.

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...

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...

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 ...
