The Political Thread

See, for example, Operation Gladio - to which numerous analogous 'terrorost attacks' in modern Europe are entirely similar ... designed to maintain peace (although a better word would be 'order') through tension.

Cor, that is an interesting specific can of worms I've never peeked into.  Cheers, TLS!

Mind-buckling stuff if even a tenth of it is true.

Ronald Reagan only found out that radiation was real when he watched The Day After, a tv movie which starred Steve Guttenberg, so while I'd like to think that the presence of nuclear weapons prevented a shooting war and thus justified their creation, the evidence isn't really there.

On the other hand, this means that Steve Guttenberg prevented a shooting war and thus justified the existence of Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol.

For anyone who's interested there's this:  Operation Gladio [BBC Timewatch, 1992] State-Sponsored Terror: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUvrPvV-KQo

False flag operations are forever a well established and successful  stratedgy. Here's the more recent Nato's Secret Soldiers, [2009] shown on the Military Channel. Very poor quality video but the narration will tell you the grim truth behind a significant number of terrorist outrages in Europe.

Expect Dave's non-resignation in 3..2..

Dave -Rampant Twat- Cameron is at it again. Apparently raising Human Rights issues in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, while at the same time selling them Weapons with his cadre of Arms dealers.

Well done Dave! You really are a class act!!!

Cheers

In the interests of balance, Blair had Lord Goldsmith - the same Attorney General who told him the invasion of Iraq would be illegal, then changed his advice when asked to go away and think about it - cancel the investigation into the Saudi Al-Yamamah arms deal in 2006 because "Our relationship with Saudi Arabia is vitally important for our country in terms of counter-terrorism, in terms of the broader Middle East, in terms of helping in respect of Israel and Palestine. That strategic interest comes first."

I can't think of a shabbier deception than New Labour touting their ethical foreign policy, while knowing full well what BAE were up to on their behalf. If anyone can explain to me the difference between the activities of successive UK governments between 1985 and 2006, exchanging Saudi blood money for clean UK tax payer's cash via the exchange of oil - or how that gives the highest offices of state any more dignity or integrity than the porn shops organised criminals use to launder the proceeds of violence and vice - wins a special prize.

You're right, New Labour are a bunch of C**ts as well. I think the overall problem is that no one really gives a Fuck; everyone seems content to sit back and let these clowns behave however they want.

Cameron is still King of the Twats though, purely because he's still in power!!!

WHY CAN'T WE USE INTERNET VOTING IN GENERAL ELECTIONS?

This could be an omen: WASN'T DIXVILLE NOTCH LILY LANGTRY'S NICKNAME FOR HER VAGINA?

So four more years then... any thoughts? I know Obama's first term has had its problems but I can't help feeling a huge sense of relief that old Mittens was denied the White House. Although as a colleague described it this morning, the candidate on the left is creeping towards the egde of the cliffs of doom at a slightly slower pace than the candidate on the right... well put I thought.

[Dandontdare]

Phew, thank fuck for that. WWIII is postponed for a few more years.

[NapalmKev]

I'm glad 'The Mitt' lost, but I wonder what Obama will achieve in the next few years. Good intentions don't really translate well in the world of Politics and Corporations.

Cheers 

[Goaty]

Awesome that Obama won it!

Glad Booth, I means Mitt not in!
