Bit more C.T.


In what can only be seen as raising the rhetoric bar on the timing, scale, and seriousness of the Iran 'situation', Kommersant is reporting that "Tehran has one last chance" as US Secretary of State Clinton asks her Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to relay the message to Iranian leaders. If this 'last chance' is wasted an attack will happen in months as diplomats noted that the probability of an Israel/US attack on Iran is now a specific 'when' instead of an indefinite 'if'. The sentiment is best summarized by a quote from inside the meeting "The invasion will happen before year?s end. The Israelis are de facto blackmailing Obama. They?ve put him in this interesting position ? either he supports the war or loses the support of the Jewish lobby". Russian diplomats, as Russia Today points out, criticized the 'last chance' rhetoric as unprofessional suggesting "those tempted to use military force should restrain themselves - a war will not solve any problems, but create a million new ones."

Personally I think Obama should call their bluff.

Let them do it and give them only limited financial/military support for the fallout (ie supply them with replacement interceptor missiles) and leave them flapping in the wind diplomatically.


Current Israeli administration has been seriously taking the proverbial out to Obama tme and again (ie carefully timed announcements of expanded settlement construction set to derail fragile talks).


It'd be nothing more than the commuppance they deserve.


This is just politics though NN, surely this is far too vanilla for your superior esoteric knowledge.

Obv C&P but fair play for posting it - RT is not an unbiased show though, as I recently found out after watching it over several days during a recent visit to a 'stan


on a pedantic level, The "Jewish lobby" is a bit of a misnomer for the US groups, much of the recent pro Israel lobbying is pushed by Christian fundamantalist nutters in the US of Ass - they want the "Rapture" ( google this vile shite if you have to ) and see Israel vs its neighbours as the best way to get Jebus back on earth to slay the non believers and lift the true believers to the Pearly Gates.


If there is a God, then I would suggest he may take a dim view of these hateful fuckpigs when they arrive and give them a one way scheduled Eticket to Lucifer and his army of pointy stick wielding demons.

That was the point i was going to make.

This actual special relationship between US and Israel has little to do with the Jewish vote.


American Jews are increasingly dissillusioned with the ever hardening stance of Israel over the past 15 years and will only move further away. (I was in New york on Israel's independence day last year when there was a big march of american jews celebrating. THe most predominant banners were ones asking for peace and understanding and many actually carried palestinian falgs to the very vocal disgust of some older people I witnessed).


Whilst AIPAC still has some clout in the fundraising stakes this actually comes much more from, as woodrot says, the christian fundamentalists who have become a powerful force in US politics.


Actually there was a nice little Adam Curtis article about it the other day called who would god vote for.

wow!


THat site is bonkers.


I love this sentence.


"The National Institute of Health has found that geo-engineering is directly responsible for neurotoxins found in human blood, lungs; as well as causing a whole host of neurotoxic conditions such as multiple sclerosis."


It hasn't. If you click the link it goes to a hypothesis about "high level contamination by natural and industrial sources" of various heavy metals being implicated as a cause in clusters of MS.


It certainly doesn't mention geo-engineering and is predicated on the "[consideration] that man-made climate change is a lie perpetrated onto the world?s populations by the global Elite and the UN?s IPCC. Scientists worldwide have come to the fact that the sun is heating up not only our Earth, but all the planets in our solar system".


Doesn't bother to mention which ones or how we should differentiate scientists from being in or outside the nefarious conspiracy "designed to coerce Capitol Hill and the American public of ?truths? surmised by unscientific data".


Bonkers frankly.


The rest of the article follows suit and there are some nice links to an important message from David Icke

Are you trying to be cryptic to appear mystically wise, or because you don't actually know why you did it?


Are you suggesting that there actually was a terrorist attack by cloud on Birmingham that, cunningly disguised as water vapour, tragically failed to kill anyone or get the front page headlines?

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
