Detournement

Switch Hamilton for Bradbury and that's the first XV.

The SNP have a huge payroll now who will stay loyal whatever happens and the membership are generally drones who follow the party line on absolutely everything. There is zero chance of a split over this.

The US didn't follow any rules in Vietnam beyond not using Atomic weapons. The institutional racism that underwrites their aggresion abroad wouldn't apply in the USA. Working class Americans wouldn't attack each other.

The Vietnamese and Iraqis did ok. Afghans are in their 17th year against the mighty US Army. Individually the gun nuts are outmanned but collectively they have to be respected.

There is no comparison between the two. The idea that you need to contribute financially to a cause to have a political view on is typical right wing idiocy.

Anyone donating their cash to someone as wealthy as Salmond is off their head.

I was talking about Gib.

Good riddance to the tax dodging arseholes!

Trump's win was similar to Cameron's majority in 2015 won by 900 votes. Extremely efficient analytics.

Cynical playing to the crank market. It's certainly not a good look. However I still think all the alternative media sources which have provided perspective on Syria have done a valuable job countering MSM war mongering and staggering amounts of propaganda. Post Iraq the public won't be drawn into a war in the convential way so lies are crafted about African mercanaries being given viagra and 7 year old bloggers end up with publicity agents.

It looks like it might be happening though. The Times are reporting that Macron is pushing for Chequers. Bankers' stooge to the rescue!

Has anyone got Premier Sports? I'm seeing some comments that the preview show was basically an All Ireland affair. The SRU will really have a feather in their caps if they've took the pro teams off the BBC (and Sky) to be patronised on a channel no one has.

So just second hand smears by pro war outlets? That Olivia Solon article is one of the most things absurd things ever published.

Any quotes for that? "Vanessa Beeley 9/11" doesn't turn up anything. This article comes up for Charlie Hedbo https://thewallwillfall.org/2015/09/14/charlie-hebdo-incitement-to-war/ It doesn't say that the Charlie Hedbo attack was staged. It says that Charlie Hedbo is funded to stir up racial hate (like the Daily Mail, Fox News and the Spectator).

Why would the alternative media report on SAA torture? (i) It's already reported by MSM (ii) It simply puts Syria in a club with every other country which has faced an existential threat. Syria is the same as Ukraine. There did not need to be a war. Millions of people have suffered because of this and our media continually distrorts how the war began and how it has managed to last longer than World War 2. Assad is obviously a reprehensible dictator but the evidence is clear that a large proportion of the Syrian people have stuck with him, that government held areas are safe and that the horror stories about Ghouta and Aleppo don't stand up to scrutiny while Mosul and Raqqa are in complete ruins.

They don't need the Neo Nazis in parliament. Just out on the street killing people. Odessa the city where right wing paramilitaries burnt a building full of trade unionists https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/02/ukraine-dead-odessa-building-fire

I don't have a clue about Srebrenica. Vannesa Beeley is a good journalist.

Right Sector have been integrated into the Ukrainian Army. It has been proven that the snipers were pro Maidan. No one denies this. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/ukraine-kiev-snipers-reportedly-hired-by-opposition-leaders-not-yanukovich-according-to-bugged-call-9171328.html Obama not giving them weapons doesn't mean he didn't support the coup, just that he was at least humane enough not to want to escalate the situation in the Donbass. It was 100% a coup. Nuland is on tape discussing her pick for Ukrainian PM, CIA stooges rolled into the country immediately to take up important positions. Elections were working in Ukraine and power had been transferred between the two main factions twice therefore there is no comparison to Romania. If it involves right wing paramilitaries, neo nazis, the US state department it's a coup. The 12.5 million Ukrainians who voted for the Party of The Regions were completely disenfranchised.

Ethnic Russians from Ukraine and Russia. How dare they defend themselves from neo-Nazis. My position is pretty straightforward. There should have been more elections. Once the coup was complete the country should have been allowed to split. The neocons (Clinton, Nuland, Kagan etc) who engineered this condemned millions of people to misery in a civil war and harassment from neo Nazis intent on ethnic cleansing. It is part of a series of right wing coups engineered from Washington which get soft media coverage - Thailand, Brazil, Honduras, Egypt. Democracy is apparently only a good thing when the people vote the correct way.

All nonsense. Right wing paramilitaries were the main drivers of the coup assisted by the US state department. Victoria Nuland was caught on tape giving the game away. Fascist groups are fighting for the Ukranian government in the East. Even the BBC ended up acknowledging that the snipers were basically a false flag https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31359021

If you mean sponsoring a right wing coup was a bad idea then Obama definitely has to take the blame. It's funny how the candidate that doesn't want war with Russia keeps winning these elections.....

It's not about the details of one day's story it's about the overall effect on his voters over a long period.

So in the last fortnight Telesur has been removed Facebook, Facebook's bot investigators have identified Indy supporters as bot accounts and Craig Murray has had his blog history deleted from Facebook and is being accused of having Russian links. Nothing to worry about though.

The idea is that they tweet when news editors are starting their work days and there is nothing else happening so whatever pish he comes out with goes to the top of the agenda.

That's why he was exactly where he needed to be in the final days of the election while Clinton was flying around with Beyonce and Bon Jovi. Trump is a front man the same as every other President. There is a team of people planning his strategy and the early morning tweets are clearly a tactic.
