Asia Times:
There exists the possibility that the whole thing [the US-Israel altercation] is a masquerade designed to divert attention from an impending joint US-Israeli strike on Iran. Obama is unlikely to be comfortable with such a decision, but a number of analysts have argued that in the end, he might not have much of a [...]

Your humble blogger has no more energy – these imbecile MPs have sapped it all. Take it away, Boris:
Being an even-tempered fellow, and given that we have already put up with so much nonsense from the Labour Government, I find there are very few ministerial pronouncements that make me wild with anger. We have [...]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s one for you:
Just a nice convivial TLC gathering of peace and mutual understanding. Let’s look at whom each of these is:
# Zbigniew Brzezinski [mentioned in Part 1]
# Peter Sutherland [European Commission]
# David Rockefeller ['nuff said]

In Part 1, it was argued that there are many groups about, many thinktanks and all have a view of the world which they’d like to see implemented. In the end, it comes down to traction – how much notice is taken of them. As you saw, the TLC has an awful lot of traction.
Traction [...]

Here are some men
You wouldn’t know it to look at me now but I have been gym training for some years and after the dental horror, it’s back to the gym tomorrow.
The first difference between Russia and here is that there is an incremental range of weights over there but over here, there is government [...]

Let this series of three posts walk you through one thread in what the hell is going on right now and why people are suffering. As each new screenshot goes up, the question is, “So what?” Be patient because it is leading somewhere.
There are so many organizations out there – the WB, TLC, CFR, BIS, [...]

Though illegal, paying for sex is widely accepted by many Russian men. The eight-laned highways which stretch out of the sprawling capital of 10.5 million teem with prostitutes, some of whom agree demand for sex has fallen. “Now they often talk about work.”
On a website where men can search for prostitutes in their area, [...]

Maildotcom:
It often starts as a voice in the wilderness, but can swell into an entire nation’s demand for truth. From Ireland to Germany, Europe’s many victims of child abuse in the Roman Catholic church are finally breaking social taboos and confronting the clergy to face its demons.

In 1912, Anna Jarvis trademarked the phrases “second Sunday in May” and “Mother’s Day”, and created the Mother’s Day International Association. As Ann Jarvis said:
A printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world. And [...]

Time for a break from European politics. Your humble blogger had never heard of Aum Shinrikyo, Yoichi Clark Shimatsu or Archipelago before today, nor had he heard of Shoko Asahara, Harry Mason or Dan Gerber – shows what a sheltered life he’s led.

Some say yes they’re both committing naughties, some say not, the laissez-fairers ask so what but it seems to your humble correspondent that it all comes down to definitions. This blog is probably out of step with public opinion, especially that which is shocked by something like this and then supports sleeping around for themselves.
