Two interesting snippets I’ve been directed to. First is by Michael McDowell – no, no, put down that baseball bat. Read the piece.
The time has come to speak a little “Truth to Power” – to Samantha Power
The second is this definition of ‘misogyny’. I like it.
I had heard Samantha Power making that speech, with such apparent passion, and then I thought – what hypocrisy!
Then I read that piece by Michael McDowell, and thought: about time someone (apart from Robert Fisk) told the truth about the Middle East theatre of murder and mayhem.
But then I double-checked the author, and yes, it was written by that well known Irish hypocrite!
And I wondered: is there no such thing as an honest, genuine person on the face of this earth?
I used to think that many of the German people were lying after world war 2 when they were confronted about the holocaust and they claimed they knew nothing about it.
When I look at the cowardice of our mainstream media in reporting only the versions of international news that suits the interests of the USA the OTHER Western PUPPET REGIMES I am no longer convinced that the German population weren’t being honest.
Apart from some brave journalists like Robert Fisk and John Piliger we have to rely on the internet to find alternative non-us approved versions of the wars and military build ups in Yemen, Syria, Ukraine, China and Palestine.
Indeed Pointis. It makes you wonder what other lies were told/taught to us. In fact were we lied to all along? With the onset of the Internet(in spite of the ‘fake news’ lol) it has made it easier and far quicker for individuals to read books,accounts etc that would otherwise have been inaccessible to most. Perhaps that explains why governments are endeavouring to seize control of it? We are all mushrooms………they want to feed us shxxx!
Indeed Wolfe Tone, speaking of fake news anyone who thinks the BBC are unbiased would do well to ponder this: –

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king!
Hats off to Michael McDowell. I never thought I would ever say that!
Good to see Mickey has been reading George Galloway’s old speeches.
