The Media blame Labour for Brexit

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/24/britain-votes-for-brexit-eu-referendum-david-cameron UK votes to leave EU after dramatic night divides nation  It has started already.  Laura Kuensberg and the BBC, quoting unnamed sources stating that it is all Jeremy Corbyn's fault (Brexit) as he "failed to mobilise all those thousands of new members that joined the Labour party since last year" and the same unnamed sources stating that there will be a leadership challenge in the Labour party soon. It will not be too long, perhaps within the next few hours, till the rest of the media circus join in this hysterical nonsense.The media have  been seeking to undermine Corbyn for many months and now will become even more determined in their scurrilous, anti democratic efforts to manipulate the people of this country. I repeat what I said earlier. We of the Labour party "have to position ourselves as the only party which can lead this country through the dif...

Referendum votes to "Leave"

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-referendum-live-latest-poll-news-brexit-results-leave-remain-when-date-vote-odds-uk-britain-a7094741.html Broadcasters call result for Brexit as pound value crashes  It now appears that the United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union. The question as to what happens in Scotland remains to be resolved. However, what course the Labour party now adopts is fundamentally clear. There is no time for a navel gazing exercise in the "Blame game", the who said what to whom and when or who's fault is a Brexit result. Comrades, we now have to position ourselves as the only party which can lead this country through the difficulties of a nation no longer part of the EU. The Conservatives are a fragmented collection of self serving opportunists who are not fit to run a whelk stall in Southend let alone a country. We must seek to reconcile those who voted "Remain" with those who voted "Leave...

A "civil war" with many sides and no prospect of resolution.

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/heres-how-syria-became-hell-on-earth/ar-AAf8uJ1?li=AAaeUIW&ocid=U142DHP     Here's how Syria became hell on earth Bashar al Assad   One of the many sides             Civil War  "The US and its allies have spent the past four years trying to figure out who to support in the conflict, and how. " That phrase sums it up in a nutshell and even right up to now, the US and its allies still have no idea what they are trying to do, or how to do it. The House of Commons may soon be asked (again) by the government to authorise British military involvement in this conflict. Any United Kingdom politician  voting in favour of authorising such intervention, no matter how limited, will be guilty of committing our service personnel to a civil war where there are numerous hostile combatants all fighting against each other and where ther...

The death sentence from the Kangaroo Court in Cairo

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/former-egyptian-president-sentenced-to-death-10254860.html     Mohamed Morsi sentenced to death: Ousted President Mohamed Morsi   The final verdict in this sham show trial will be handed down by the "court", otherwise known as Al-Sisi's mouthpiece,on the 4th June. The United States, the United Kingdom and those in Europe who have supported and encouraged the illegal regime in Cairo, who overthrew a democratically elected President because he would not capitulate to "the West" and Israel, should hold their heads in shame at their hypocrisy and complicity in this affair. Al-Sisi, Killer Of Egypt's Democracy Al-Sisi may or may not order the execution to take place (The Mufti can only act in an advisory capacity),as the actual event, whatever the outcome, can only reinforce the contempt of people around the world for western governments and their duplicity in this shabby affair. ...

Creating a monster and making a bad situation even worse.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/war-against-isis-its-started-but-do-we-know-what-were-doing-9760131.html It's started, but do we know what we're doing? Cameron and Obama at United Nations   A contrived "threat", manufactured, exaggerated and hysterically hyped up to suit the hidden agenda of Washington and London to attack Syria via Iraq and ultimately overthrow Bashar al-Assad. "It's started, but do we know what we're doing?" The answer is "No. We have no idea what we are doing. We only know that al-Assad must go and this might be one avenue to help us get rid of him," IS or ISIL or what ever other label you may choose to put on them, is an organisation now controlling in excess of 5 million people, thousands of square miles of territory, significant infrastructure and an industrial and commercial capability which would be envied by many countries around the world. It is also an organisation which until ...

How the man without credibility or legitimacy becomes the "Good Guy"

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/west-poised-to-join-forces-with-assad-in-face-of-islamic-state-9686666.html West poised to join forces with Assad in face of Islamic State Bashar al-Assad   While we will be giving weapons and support to the FSA at the same time presumably. A truly remarkable piece of hypocritical contrivance. This is not the first time,nor will it be the last, when the arms trade has managed to sell weapons in this case via the UK government, to all sides in a conflict. Eighteen months ago we were arming a group, which is now called the Islamic State, as well as the Free Syrian Army, and numerous other splinter groups because they were opposing and seeking to remove Bashar al_Assad, a dictatorial President, who we said, who had "lost all credibility and legitimacy" as the leader of Syria. The British and the American governments were desperate (and still are, but that will have to wait as circumstances have now changed), ...

The art of "Double standards"

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/14/iraq-crisis-us-britain-rescue-yazidis-mount-sinjar    Obama was not talking about Palestinians in Gaza.   Barak Obama   The words of Barak Obama demonstrating a true example of the double standard. If we did not know better, we could actually think that he was talking about Palestinians in Gaza. No, he is actually talking about a christian Kurdish minority, seeking refuge on top of Mount Sinjar. He would certainly not wish to upset the Israeli's with comments like,"where countless innocent people are facing a massacre" or even, "when we have the ability to help prevent it – the United States can’t just look away". When it comes to Israel, there is no such word as as hypocrisy. What Obama, "Mr Sincerity" himself actually said was: “When there’s a situation like the one on this mountain – when countless innocent people are facing a massacre, and when we have the ability to help pr...

On Mount Sinjar things are not as bad as feared. Meanwhile, in Gaza.......

That is good news for the Yazidi's. Gaza hospitals in dire need of supplies Meanwhile elsewhere, the siege of Gaza continues. The 500,000 Palestinians remain without shelter, the hospitals remain bursting at the seams with thousands of injured civilians, many of which are children being treated two to a bed, the supply of medicines and medical essentials remains critical and food, water and shelter remain in short supply. wards filled beyond capacity and a never-ending stream of injured In Gaza, it is as bad as feared, but nobody in Washington, London,Paris, the UN security Council or Berlin gives a damn.

Déjà vu in Iraq and the changing map of the Middle East.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iraq-crisis-islamic-state-weakened-by-us-airstrikes-claims-pentagon-9662819.html Britain to send Tornado jets to Iraq as Cameron considers arming Kurdish fighters RAF Hercules delivering aid in northern Iraq Thousand are still trapped on the mountain There is a growing sense of déjà vu about the latest crisis in Iraq. The plight of those Yazidi civilians trapped on Mount Sinjar, certainly demands that the world take some humanitarian actions to supply food, water and shelter until such times as the remaining people there can be evacuated. The advances made by ISIL forces over the last few weeks have been truly remarkable and the allegations of atrocities carried out by the advancing army are clearly provoking demands for some form of military reaction from western governments. Without wishing to dismiss such reports out of hand however, we should bear in mind that allegations of atrocities ...

Tens of thousands vote in regional referendum

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-crisis-tens-of-thousands-vote-in-regional-referendum-dubbed-a-criminal-farce-organised-by-russia-9352604.html Referendum on 'self-rule' in eastern regions A woman at a polling station in Bakhchisaray ...   The western powers, the media, Hague, Kerry, Merkel, and the rest, perpetuate the hypocrisy of their almost hysterical rhetoric with constant references to the "referendum" being illegal and having no credibility. Their support for Kiev, demonstrates how the "International Community" will go to any lengths, will conveniently ignore fact and will resort to distortion and black propaganda to advance their objective of making Ukraine, part of NATO. That remains and has always been the goal. The fact remains that no matter how much the western powers, the media, the camp followers of the United States and United kingdom may try to convince the world otherwise, "The government in Kiev...

The effectiveness of propaganda?

  http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/eurovision-2014-russia-booed-by-crowd-during-final-9350249.html Eurovision 2014: As the rest of Europe watched, Russia was booed.   The Tolmachevy Sisters  perform the song 'Shine'    "Russia booed by crowd during final" Just goes to show how effective the propaganda of the "International Community" (aka United States and United Kingdom)has been in distorting fact and fabricating "evidence" to fit their objective of turning Ukraine into a NATO base. It seems that people tend to believe that Russia is the "bad guy" and that Kerry and Hague are supporting the forces of good in Kiev. Pure fantasy.

Hague compares Homs to Srebrenica.

For the last few years. if not longer, the objective in Washington and London has been for regime change in Syria. Having been frustrated in this ambition by their respective legislative bodies, they now attempt another route to countenance military intervention in support of the numerous rebel factions. This is a bloody and vicious civil war, and regardless of what the warmongering pol...

The hidden agenda of Kerry, Hague and the "Opposition Coalition".

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/22/syria-peace-talks-assad-future Syria peace talks: John Kerry leads calls for removal of President Bashar al-Assad U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon   The arrogance of Kerry and to only a slightly lesser extent Hague, demonstrating the hypocrisy and duplicity of the "Western Powers" in their continued campaign to find any excuse to attack Syria, no matter what the people of the United States or United Kingdom may say. At yesterday's (Wednesday 22nd January 2014) opening speeches to what has been described as "Geneva 11", and at news conferences later in the day, Kerry launched astonishing attacks on the so called "Assad Regime" in speeches full of rhetoric, unsubstantiated allegations and distorted history. It is indeed ironic that, after the uncompromising speech from Walid Muallem Syria's foreign minister, criticising the Western Powers for supportin...

The duplicity of the "Western Powers" and Israels nuclear bomb.

  http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/15/truth-israels-secret-nuclear-arsenal  Israel has been stealing nuclear secrets and covertly making bombs since the 1950s.    Israel has been stealing nuclear secrets and covertly making bombs since the 1950s. And western governments, including Britain and the US, turn a blind eye. But how can we expect Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions if the Israelis won't come clean?     Nuclear Reactor for Atomic Bombs in Dimona   "But how can we expect Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions if the Israelis won't come clean?" That quote says it all. The hypocrisy of the "Western Powers" (for that read United States and Great Britain), on any matter even remotely critical of Israel, is nauseating. The way in which a "blind eye" has been turned towards Israels nuclear development is repugnant enough, but coupled with open  assistance together with the covert cooperation given to Israel with the...

The "Friends of Syria" fail to agree.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/syria-crisis-london-meeting-fails-to-deliver-hope-of-breakthrough-8897289.html   Syria crisis: London meeting fails to deliver hope of breakthrough Assad will play no role in transition, says US, UK and Saudi Arabia   The "Friends of Syria" meeting in London yesterday, (Tuesday 22nd October) broke up without any agreement in respect of the way forward. In fact one of the "friends", Saudi Arabia, is threatening to withdraw from the group largely in respon se to the failure of the American dominated clique to take any form of military action against the Syrian government and to be rather reticent in their support of the rebel groups in terms of hardware and weapons. This reticence is understandable in so far as the "Friends of Syria" support only part of the opposition to President Assad and are still faced with the problem which they have faced since the start of the civil war. Tha...

Blair, the peace envoy, still advocating war.

  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/08/26/syria-tony-blair-mps-vote_n_3819466.html Tony Blair Tells David Cameron And President Obama To Intervene In Syria   "Blair Tells Cameron and Obama To Intervene In Syria." This one phrase, spoken by a man who has led this country into illegal wars, for which we and the people of the countries concerned are still paying the price, a man who has lied to Parliament on more than one occasion in order to achieve his own personal agenda, a man who has perverted the course of justice to in order to stop investigations into corruption by companies and their customers, a man who has grown very rich with fees, endorsements and writings on matters ranging from politics to biography and to new world order, clearly confirms his megalomania and self opinionated posture. Blair is not in any position to "tell" people to do anything. He should be in the ICC on war crime charges.” ...
