Samantha Power criticises Syria, Iran and Russia over Aleppo.

Samantha Power indulges in the usual mock and overplayed "sincerity" in criticising Russia and Iran in connection with the Aleppo tragedy.
It is a bit rich for an America that has on numerous occasions, turned its eyes away from the atrocities inflicted upon the people of Gaza, to ask others the question "Are you incapable of shame?" when they themselves have ignored countless humanitarian crises in other countries.
The catastrophe for "the West", is that their allies, "the Good rebels" in Aleppo have been defeated and that the great plan to bring regime change to Syria with the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad has been set back by years, if not completely derailed.

The tragedy of the civil war in Syria, is that the continued support in weapons, logistics and materiel being supplied to "the Good rebels" is prolonging the war and the humanitarian suffering of the Syrian people.
I am getting very fed up with the almost constant barrage of propaganda in the media and on television, stressing that only the Syrian government and those supporting them against rebel forces are the only forces committing atrocities and war crimes. Some politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, continue with their obsession to remove the Syrian government and to replace it with one created by "the Good rebels", a mind set which perpetuates the war and suffering of ordinary Syrians.
Our television screens are filled every day with hand wringing hypocrisy and emotional insincerity in speeches from politicians, pundits and spokespersons telling us that "the regime and its supporters" are the bad guys and that they must immediately stop attacking areas, which incidentally just happen to be in "rebel" controlled areas. It is sad that many people in the west accept this nonsensical propaganda as true. It would be a very different slant on the story if "the Good rebels" were actually winning. It would be difficult if not impossible under that scenario, for the "Western Powers" and UN Ambassador Samantha Power to hide their delight.

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 writing on the wall

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
