UNITED KINDOM - DAVID CAMERON - UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY

UNITED KINGDOM DAVID CAMERON - 'WAR ON TERROR' #UK >>> David Cameron's 'war on terror' a cynical right-wing nationalist agenda for election purposes? / stop/war/org/uk >> Bombing raids increase hatred of West >> all x3 #UK interventions ended in a disaster >>> http://stopwar.org.uk/images/documents/why%20we%20shouldnt%20bomb%20A4%20StW.pdf … DAVID CAMERON - UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY  VIDEO  Source http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IuwOfQI8YA8  David Cameron UN Speech United Nations David Cameron drags communism into the mix & claims communism wasn't 'defeated'   [by force, but]  by showing ALTERNATIVES .. sings praises free market >CAMERON: showing .. economic freedom, democracy, the rule of law; these things could build a better society & a BETTER WORLD >>> Oh, really, Dave? Dave's gonna show the jihadists a 'better world' -- like he showed communists -- & all will be well? Needs to see a DIFFERENT, BETTER, more OPEN, DEMOCRATIC path ... Dave says while undermining FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY "20thC. taught us the vital role of representative & accountable governments," says #Cameron, who holds #Assange POL. PRISONER / NO CHARGE! >Trouble is, #Assange shone light on that 'accountable' govt. David Cameron & #USA aren't into transparency or accountability >> Hypocrites! "Not every country can move at the same speed .." To what? Defy international law w/in plain sight? #Assange #UK >>> Cameron's bit about 'autocratic & unrepresentative government' sounds rather familiar ...  #UK "Governments that govern for only some of their people cause deep resentment" [Dave Cameron] -- Sounds a lot like the West, then. "Our enemy's enemy is not our friend; it is another enemy" - Cameron >> So how is #Syria the 'enemy', minding it's own business in M-East? He decrees a 'transition' for #Syria -- like Lord Almighty has spoken .. & a Balkan love-in new govt solution for Iraq. >> The West was bent on destroying Yugoslavia, but now is creating 'Yugoslavia' in #Iraq -- how's that gonna work, then? >> Now it's #Assad's bias & brutality that's the extremist catalyst ... And not what the West did in Iraq? Oh, sure, Dave. >> Pompous git Cameron declares: "#Syria needs what #Iraq needs ... " -- hey, he needs 2 find DOSSIER & release #Assange LOL #Syria - Cameron using UN platform to declare that he is willing to make an alliance to overthrow #Assad (2 take fight to ISIL excuse) – LOL >> Cameron's making a perverse declaration of WAR on #Syria, as I see it .. in the #UN .. & nobody pulls him up? The German delegation began shifting uncomfortably, so maybe they don't agree with Cameron's New World Order manifesto LOL #Iran -- Now Cameron's using the UN platform to tell IRAN it: NEEDS TO CHANGE! Somebody needs to laugh in his face. Preposterous. >> The Iran guy just took notes. I'd have heckled Dave. #UK - here we go .. Dave Cameron introducing NEW POWERS ... "stronger locational constraints on those in UK who pose a risk" >> Dave Cameron selling MILITARY .. as HUMANITARIAN efforts .. Middle-East & Africa. But says 'no boots'. Make up your mind! Bull. As if you can 'build capabilities', dispense aid or etc w/out forces on ground. Boots on ground INEVITABLE. >> Can someone tell me which war was EVER won without combat troops on the ground? Name a single one. #UK >> expect engagement of troops in some capacity in: NIGERIA, SOMALIA, LIBYA & YEMEN + IRAQ + SYRIA, no doubt. #UK - Cameron selling WAR with 'comprehensive' coalition / incl. Arab 'strategy': Political, Diplomatic, Humanitarian + MILITARY components >>> Gee, it almost sounds like a corporate take-over .. bit of white collar business in a free market ... except the MILITARY The West sets up a govt in #Iraq ... then Dave Cameron says @ UN .. we have request from Iraqi govt to support military action against ISIL [I'm mixing up Iraq with Afghanistan here -- it's Afghanistan that the govt has been messed around with more recently.  Previously in Iraq it was set up (by CIA, I think) and eventually deposed (if I have that straight)] >> Hello .... Dave then tells us they've got a clear basis in INTERNATIONAL LAW for 'action' (ie WAR) .. Coast is clear!!! >> Dave Cameron's shown us they're really not that fussed about international law: POLITICAL PRISONER #ASSANGE an example #UK "We have a need to act in our own national interest to protect our people & our society" [David Cameron] - What, in #Iraq -- in #Syria ? >> 'protect our people & our society' my ass: it's to protect hidden corporate interests, I'm guessing. COMMENT The above is just my take on the video as I saw it at the time. Tend to take a cynical view of political speeches. Who would have thought listening to David Cameron could provide so much entertainment? Not sure what to think about any of this.  One minute I'm inclined to blow away the hysteria about the Middle East and the next, I'll come across some gruesome photo in social media of someone holding up a severed head ... which kind of kills the whole chilled out about the Middle East thing.

IRAN

IRAN BBC Spies? #UK BBC allegedly tried to steal from #Iran govt archives / BBC a cover for spies & dissidents / http://tinyurl.com/l3rmu2h >BBC is BANNED in #Iran & broadcasts blocked / #UK has no diplomatic presence /since militants stormed #UK consulate in 2011. #Iran's state TV said intelligence officials foiled BBC's plan to steal items from govt archives / http://tinyurl.com/qfhoy52 / article IBT #Iran - 2012 - #hacker / attack to jam 2 satellite feeds of BBC Persia into Iran, 2 disrupt London ph lines / multiple automatic calls ..LOL #Iran / #UK BBC had no immediate comment re BBC hacking claim ...

Although the 2012 satellite jam is rather cool. In other news, Israel was critical of Iran at UN General Assembly, while the US has sidled up to Iran and wants to be buddies -- which is very strange.  US is up to something. Note:  UK no diplomatic presence since 2011.

The US representative in Turkey meeting up with the Syrian anti-government forces is rather distasteful.   It amounts to being involved in a plot to overthrow the government in Syria, in my opinion. Forgot what the 'must read' was about.  LOL.  Never mind.  It's there to revisit if I want. .

Estonians setting up a political party in Finland is bizarre, however many Fins they might have there.  Ghana sounds rather corrupt.  Something is going on there.  But I haven't looked at it beyond the above. The imprisonment in China is probably a big one for people who generally support human rights causes -- and for those who seek to exploit such causes or issues. I'm not in that mould.  On the whole, I tend to be emotionally remote from most things that happen on the planet.

'Deep State' USA - Mike Lofgren Article

'DEEP STATE' - USA Essay: Anatomy of the Deep State February 21, 2014 by Mike Lofgren Link:  http://billmoyers.com/2014/02/21/anatomy-of-the-deep-state/ Below are key points /extracts / summary (as learning aid for blogger): Visible government & the Shadow government Without due processes, President can: liquidate American citizens  detain prisoners indefinitely without charge conduct dragnet surveillance on the American people (without judicial warrant) engage in witch hunts against federal employees (the so-called “Insider Threat Program”) In USA, power is typified by: displays of intimidating force by militarized  federal; state; &  local; law enforcement.  Overseas, US can: start wars at will; & engage in virtually any other activity whatsoever  without Congress approval. 2011 political warfare over the debt ceiling, WA allocated funds on: overthrow Muammar Ghaddafi’s regime in Libya overt & covert assistance to French intervention in spill-over Mali $115 million to keeping a civil war going in Syria £100 million (min) to UK's GCHQ (spy agency) $1.7 billion constructing mammoth structure in Utah -- for NSA to archive digital surveillance data Meanwhile, in USA:  bridges carrying interstate highways have collapsed due to inadequate maintenance of infrastructure. Shadow Government (the 'Deep State') is a "hybrid entity of public and private institutions ruling the country" and this shadow government is only intermittently controlled by, the visible state whose leaders we choose." The Deep State government has its failures: Iraq Afghanistan Libya and is therefore not invincible.   The Deep State protects inept higher-ranking personnel. Cultural assimilation  >  “Groupthink”  - adoption of views of superiors & peers. Executive Office of the President via National Security Council CO-ORDINATES the activities of the Deep State, which is a hybrid of the following: national security  law enforcement agencies Department of State Department of Homeland Security Central Intelligence Agency Justice Department Deep State key areas of Judiciary: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Vital federal trial courts (eg Eastern District of Virginia & Southern District of Manhattan) - where NSA cases conducted. Department of the Treasury (financial flows; international sanctions; SYMBIOSIS with WALL STREET) 'Rump' Congress - congressional leadership & some (but not all) members of the defence &  intelligence committees.  Rest of Congress "submits to a few well-chosen words from the State’s emissaries". Eg. Passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Amendments Act of 2008: retroactively legalised Bush’s illegal & unconstitutional surveillance and indemnified telecommunications companies for their cooperation in these acts. No problems: submission & passing of bill leveraged with trump card :  “terrorism” "What is euphemistically called “private enterprise” is an integral part of its operations." Now "854,000 contract personnel with top-secret clearances — a number greater than that of top-secret-cleared civilian employees of the government." The Corporate Arm of the Deep State Membrane between government and industry is highly permeable:  See National Security and Booz Allen Hamilton, (one of the government’s largest intelligence contractors, 99% dependent on govt business).  Contractors now set: political and social tone of Washington; and  increasingly setting the direction of the country and are "doing so quietly, unrecorded in the Congressional Record or the Federal Register, and are rarely subject to congressional hearings." Wall Street -- the cash -- keeps the political machine dormant & "operating as a diversionary marionette theatre." "The executives of the financial giants even have de facto criminal immunity": " ... institutions so mammoth that prosecutions would have "negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy". "Wall Street may be the ultimate owner of the Deep State and its strategies, if for no other reason than that it has the money to reward ..." Harvard: Ivy League is .. the preferred bleaching tub & charm school of the American oligarchy.  [LOL] White House advisers contractor-connected think tank experts economic gurus (pro-globalization and deregulation) preferred pose is that of the politically neutral technocrat offering .. profound expertise "deeply dyed in the hue of the official ideology of the governing class" Domestically:  invariably believe in the “Washington Consensus”: financialisation, outsourcing, privatization, deregulation and the commodifying of labour. Internationally, they espouse 21st-century “American Exceptionalism”: the right and duty of the US to meddle in every region of the world with coercive diplomacy and boots on the ground Silicon Valley is a vital node of the Deep State (Snowden exposure) Important engine of the nation’s economy Indulged by Washington: “jailbreak” smartphone (ie modify for use with other service provider)> receive a fine of up to $500,000 + several yrs prison "... libertarian pose of the Silicon Valley moguls, so carefully cultivated in their public relations, has always been a sham" Silicon Valley - commercial purposes - tracking activities of electronic device users. Deep State - emulate the Valley -- for own purposes.  Deep State conscripts the Silicon Valley’s assistance. 21st century:  drone strikes data mining secret prisons Panopticon-like (all-seeing) control Yet, visible parliamentary institutions of self-government declining to status of a banana republic amid gradual collapse of public infrastructure.
