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?

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
