New Documentary Makes Radical Claim JFK arrives in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 More smoke and mirrors to confuse and confound what really happened in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. We shall never know who the second and third marksmen actually were, (anyone who still believes that Lee Harvey Oswald "acted alone" is living in a make believe world), who else was involved in the conspiracy and who created the subsequent cover up. This article describes a fairy tale more suited to the plot of second rate Hollywood "B movie". Phrases such as, "his first time holding the assault weapon he was using" and "Hickey accidentally discharged his weapon" and "a tragic accident in the heat of the moment." them selves generate derision.

Campers pitch tent at foot of unstable cliff Less than 24 hours after a substantial landslide at nearby East Cliff, West Bay, about 1 mile further along the beach from where this photograph was taken, and less than 2 miles from the spot where holidaymaker Charlotte Blackman, 22, was killed by a landslide on Freshwater beach, just over a year ago on July 24, 2012, these idiots pitch their tent right beneath a cliff overhang. The warning signs are clear and along this stretch of the "Jurassic Coast" particularly here, the signs are large and numerous as there have been a significant number of cliff falls over some months since last year. Whether it is apathy, ignorance or just plain stupidity it is beyond belief that someone could behave in a most negligent fashion. One of the occupants of this tent was apparently no mor...

It almost begs the question as to how much money went into who knows who's pockets as an added sweetener. This whole sleazy morass of greed and corruption stinks to high heaven.

The CPS already makes some bizarre decisions, offering no evidence at trial or not bringing charges as prosecution, "would not be in the public interest" (what ever that means). If these CPS conclusions are as a direct (or indirect) consequence of cut backs and "savings" as seems to be the case, then strange decisions will become even more common. Perhaps there may be a case for closing down the CPS entirely, transferring the work to the Department of Justice and thereby "saving" even more money !

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jul/24/egypt-army-chief-support-citizens Egypt's army chief calls for show of support from citizens Abdel Fatah al-Sisi "Interim President" Adly Mansour Following the coup of July 3rd, the new military dictator of Egypt, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi (hiding behind the sham facade of the "Interim President" Adly Mansour) calls for millions of citizens to go out on the streets on Friday (26th July), to back the military and police. This is a recipe for bloodshed on a massive scale and for social disaster to follow. The motivation for such an appeal is as clear as it can possibly be. It is the intention of the ruling junta to eradicate any form of opposition, to impose martial law in order to consolidate its position as the only political power in Egypt and to pro American(and thereby pro Israel) position is maintained. Those "anti Morsi demonstrators" (at least those who are not associated with "...

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...

Israeli-Palestinian peace talks' resumption put in doubt by both sides Deep hostility within the Israeli coalition government over the agreement for preliminary talks forged by Kerry on Friday. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, right, meets with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Ramalla Without even reaching Washington, the "talks" seem to be foundering. This is not really surprising as it has always been abundantly clear that Israel has no interest or intention of making any agreement with Palestine. The comments made by members of the Israeli cabinet, demonstrate the extent of the hostility in Israel towards any measure of settlement. Avigdor Lieberman, Avigdor Lieberman, stated that "there was "no solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, at least not in the coming years, and what's possible and important to do is conflict-management" Naftali Bennett Naftali Bennett said “we will insist on th...

Hague is a buffoon trying to give the impression of a sensible and responsible politician (if such an creature actually exists). His comments, full of hyperbole and exaggerated optimism, smack more of a minor character, trying to grab a little piece of the limelight, just in case something positive comes out of the "talks". As I have commented previously, Israel has no interest or intention to reach any form of settlement with the Palestinians.
On the 22nd July 1946, Zionist terrorists of the Irgun, attacked the British administrative headquarters for Palestine, housed in the King David hotel in Jerusalem. 91 people of various nationalities were killed and 46 were injured. King David Hotel, Jerusalem. July 1946 "When I say that terrorism is war against civilization, I may be met by the objection that terrorists are often idealists pursuing worthy ultimate aims -- national or regional independence, and so forth. I do not accept this argument. I cannot agree that a terrorist can ever be an idealist, or that the objects sought can ever justify terrorism. The impact of terrorism, not merely on individual nations, but on humanity as a whole, is intrinsically evil, necessarily evil and wholly evil." Benjamin Netanyahu

It seems that we are condemned to having inquiry after inquiry, detailed plans from one pro runway group after another, public consultations ad nauseam, six or more years of discussion and debate and all in the name of "benefit to British industry and business". These lobby groups are conducting a war of attrition in their quest for what they consider to be the "right" decision. At the risk of sounding repetitive, "NO THIRD RUNWAY AT HEATHROW !"
http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/10561263.Work_plan_sparks_road_chaos_fears_in_Weymouth/ IT IS feared new roadworks in Weymouth will mean traffic chaos as schools close for the summer. Traffic queuing at Boot Hill We can always rely on the "authorities" sending people to their stores to drag out the cones, temporary traffic lights, wheel barrows, diggers, dumpers, shovels and associated paraphernalia, over the months of June, July and August. True, there are road works at other times of the year, but it always seems that the summer months, when holiday traffic is at its heaviest, roads are naturally congested, and tempers are at their shortest the "lets dig up that section of road now" brigade comes into its own. It is not only Weymouth that suffers from this phenomenon.

This time its the turn of the £14bn defence agency that buys the armed forces’ tanks and missiles which is in crisis, due to potential "conflicts of interest". The track record of this governments obsession with privatisation is littered with mistakes, costly errors and un foreseen consequences. All this, in the pursuit of selling our assets to their friends in business and industry, in exchange for covert funding and favour in the boardroom. Thirty pieces of silver have never been so tarnished.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/jul/18/david-ward-whip-israel-apartheid-state Lib Dems withdraw party whip from MP David Ward over Israel comments David Ward was told the language he used about the state of Israel was not proportionate or precise. Another victory for the "Israel can do no wrong and any criticism of Israel will not be tolerated" lobby. Israel IS an apartheid state. It is also responsible for the ethnic cleansing of vast areas of Palestine and the illegal building of "settlements" in the occupied territories. Israel continues to impose a barbaric and illegal blockade of Gaza and is responsible for the death of thousands of Palestinians. No matter what the Liberal Democrat pro Israel clique or the usual suspects of the friends of Israel groupings may say or do, the truth is the truth (Mahatma Gandhi) no matter what hysterical rantings they may scream out to the contrary.

The western media with a few exceptions, reported the events as part of their general support for the coup of July 3rd which overthrew President Mohammed Morsi. It now emerges that the truth of the events which took place outside the compound, differs significantly from the "official" version.

Len McCluskey, and the rest of the trade union movement, should recognise and accept, that the Labour Party, as the party of working people, is dead and that no amount of "reforms" or attempts at persuasion will repair damage done over the past decades and compounded over recent months by Milliband and the rump "Blairites". Stuck in the morass of the so called centre ground, indistinguishable from either from Conservative or Liberal Democrat, Labour is destined to become a marginalised collection of tired politicians with few policies and little support. It is time for the trade union movement to move on and field its own candidates to give an alternative to the current, no real choice political menu. ...

By publishing a report with huge sections of redacted text the "authorities" confirm the extent to which the establishment influence still corrupts and covers up the evil of the abuse. It is totally unacceptable, that these perverts continue to be protected from the law and for the Councils to state that "The report can not be published in its entirety because it contains personal data and material that is considered defamatory." is an insult to the victims as well as to justice. The people responsible for this decision should also face prosecution for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
