Obama Gets It At Last. Ignore Israel.
Of course Israel’s interests must be taken into account but the deal with Iran is the right way forward. Israel has been allowed to get away with far too much for far too long. It is the major cause of conflict across the world. It must moderate its aggression and learn to live with its neighbours. It must hand back what it has stolen and learn to use its military might responsibly and in accordance with international law.
Boris Johnson Dirty Tricks Against Ken Livingstone
Boris must be worried about Ken. In a snide, nasty and Soviet-style move, Boris’ team has enlisted a herd of tame bloggers to campaign against Ken’s assignment with Press TV.
Now of course, Press TV has very dodgy antecedents. It’s backed by the Iranian government and very probably subject to a degree of control by Allahshandjob and his theocratic Nazis. Inevitably the Zionists are up in arms, manipulating, bullying, bribing and coercing their friends into a disgraceful smear campaign against Ken. It’s really a battle of one Nazi ideology against another. I’m very surprised and deeply disappointed to see Boris getting involved.
It’s worth reading Press TV’s perspective on the issue in “Britain trying to halt Press TV”.’
The Mayor Of London’s office flatly refused to comment on this story. In fact they couldn’t put the phone down on me quickly enough. I can tell you though, with absolute certainty, that specific instructions went out from Boris’ office to round up his sheeple and get them all writing the same story – particularly to link the phrase “holocaust deniers” to Ken’s name as often as possible.
Any reasonable person condemns both the Iranian and Zionist regimes. They are both a force for evil and a threat to world peace. We should be encouraging their involvment in the media though, in the ebb and flow of news and information. That is the way towards a more honest, inclusive and peaceful world. The British media is often biased but we would be outraged if any part of it was subject to such a campaign of smear, innuendo and attempted gagging. This is a repressive, anti-democratic campaign. Boris should stop it immediately. It’s a mistake.
Journalists work for Fox News all the time and there’s no more despicable news organisation. Left and right wingers write for the Daily Mail every day, despite its legendary bias, misinformation and scandalmongering. Andrew Gilligan has worked for Press TV. Why shouldn’t Ken?
Probably the worst mistake I’ve ever seen Boris make. This sort of behaviour is beneath him and entirely unnecessary.
Iran Sanctions. Too Little, Too Late.
As usual it ended up taking too long and it was watered down so far as to be ineffective. UN Imposes Sanctions On Iran
Any reasonable person, be they Iranian, Israeli, European, American, any member of the human race with any sort of rational approach to the world knows that it’s not a good idea for Iran to have nuclear weapons.
I see no justification for Israel’s conduct in Gaza but if lunatic Islamists like Ahmadinejad go nuclear, Israel would have no option but to launch a pre-emptive strike. Israel would have every justification in responding with extreme force to a threat that it will be “wiped off the face of the earth”. The whole world would have to stand behind Israel.
If that pre-emptive strike has to come then it must come sooner rather than later so that it can be non-nuclear. Iran must be stopped before it has a nuclear capability.
In the interests of peace a joint NATO/Israel strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities must be considered. I expect that plans already exist. Let us pray that Iran steps back.
Khamenei Defiles Islam
When you see an old man like Ayatollah Ali Khamenei talking such absolute drivel it is tempting to think that he is either senile or mad. Clearly though, the truth is he is simply bad. His conduct will do more to set back the cause of Islam than almost anything else. This is why the name of Islam is shamed throughout the world. If followers of the Prophet can not find some honest, intelligent and sincere spokesmen then their religion and the culture that surrounds it will be forever condemned as a medieval anachronism.
His speech today is a catastrophic mistake and misjudgment but it will lead to a better future. I believe it will enrage the educated and intelligent people of Iran. He obviously believes that the people are stupid and that they can be bullied or terrorised into accepting that the elections were fair and that there is no corruption. It would be easier to claim that he is deluded but no, I think this man is simply evil and it would be in the best interest of all mankind, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, non-believer if he were gone.
Who will rid us of this turbulent priest?
