This is UNDEMOCRATIC POLITICAL PERSECUTION of an AUSSIE JOURNALIST and WHISTLEBLOWER PUBLISHER by CORRUPT CAPITALIST-CONTROLLED US-ANGLO LED governments ACTING IN COLLUSION  to detain ASSANGE on behalf of WAR CRIMINAL U.S. CAPITALIST AGENT GOVERNMENT whose ILLEGITIMATE KANGAROO COURT IN VIRGINIA has issued a sealed indictment, WITHOUT ANY JURISDICTION WHATSOEVER OVER what is INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISM. THIS is the CAPITALIST CRIMINAL AGENT GOVERNMENT THAT HAS WAGED ILLEGAL WAR AGAINST IRAQ (UNDER BUSH) and ILLEGAL WAR AGAINST SERBIA (UNDER CLINTON) and A CRIMINAL CAPITALIST ENTITY THAT HAS destroyed nation after nation since WWII:  SO CORRUPT AND UNLAWFUL ACTIONS ARE IN KEEPING WITH WHAT IT IS - A CRIMINAL STATE IN LEAGUE WITH OTHER CRIMINAL CAPITALIST STATES. THESE CAPITALIST CRIMINALS HAVE DEPRIVED this award-winning and courageous journalist of 6 YEARS OF HIS LIFE AND HAVE DAMAGED HIS HEALTH in British state detention (over 4 YEARS of which ASSANGE has been confined in a tiny Embassy utility room, without fresh air or sunlight, in London, UNDER SIEGE and 24 HOUR CAPITALIST-SERVING & CAPITALIST-CONTROLLED  POLITICAL POLICE SURVEILLANCE.

THE CRIMINAL STATE has TERRORISED HIM like this for 6 YEARS, DESPITE THERE BEING NO CHARGES AGAINST ASSANGE and this IMPRISONMENT OF 6 YEARS has been based on nothing more substantial than farcical SWEDISH PROSECUTION AUTHORITY'S 'allegations' (arranged and concocted under HIGHLY IRREGULAR SWEDEN POLICE AND PROSECUTION PROCEDURAL CIRCUMSTANCES). ALLEGATIONS that were DENIED by SWEDEN'S alleged 'victim'. CORRUPT SWEDEN'S farcical 'allegations' and that are NOT supported and are, in fact, CONTRADICTED by condom DNA evidence and by exculpatory electronic communication evidence, and 'allegations' that REMAIN AT 'PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION' STAGE FOR SIX (6) F*CKING YEARS, CAPITALIST-RULED PLEBS. THE CRIMINAL CAPITALIST C*NTS HAVE HELD ASSANGE PRISONER WITHOUT CHARGE, DENYING HIM EVEN URGENTLY NEEDED MEDICAL TREATMENT, as they deny him the POLITICAL ASYLUM he was granted by the Ecuadorian government, in keeping with international law and conventions. LOOK what they're doing to him (here):  they are destroying his health holding him prisoner under siege, and subject to THE UNRELENTING PRESSURE of the THREAT of UK POLICE STORMING THE EMBASSY & THE THREAT OF US EXTRADITION for  DOING WHAT IS THE JOB OF JOURNALISM that could see him buried in a FILTHY MONETISED CAPITALIST TORTURE PRISON for the rest of his life.

What can we do with our values, what can we do at all in relation to this war? Because the reality is Margaret Thatcher had it right; there is no society any more. What there is is a transnational security elite that is busy carving up the world using your tax money. To combat that elite we must not petition; we must take it over. We must form our own networks of strength and mutual value which can challenge those strengths and self-interested values of the warmongers in this country and in others that have formed hand in hand an alliance to take money from the United States, from every NATO country, from Australia and launder it through Afghanistan, launder it through Iraq, lander it through Somalia, launder it through Yemen, launder it through Pakistan and wash that money in people's blood. I don't need to tell you the depravity of war, you are all too familiar with its images, with the refugees of war, with information that we have revealed showing the everyday squalor and barbarity of war. Information such as the individual deaths of over 130,000 people in Iraq. Individual deaths that were kept secret by the US military who denied that they ever counted the deaths of civilians. Instead I want to tell you what I think is the way that wars come to be and that wars can be undone. In democracies, or the pseudo-democracies that we are evolving into, wars are a result of lies. The Vietnam War and the push for US involvement was the result of the Gulf of Tonkin incident . . . a lie. The Iraq War famously is the result of lies. Wars in Somalia are a result of lies. The Second World War and the German invasion of Poland was the result of carefully constructed lies. That is war by media. Let us ask ourselves of the complicit media, which is the majority of the mainstream press, what is the average death count attributed to each journalist? When we understand that wars come about as a result of lies peddled to the British public and the American public and the publics all over Europe and other countries, then who are the war criminals?  It is not just leaders, it is not just soldiers, it is journalists; journalists are war criminals. And while one might think that that should lead us to a state of despair, that the reality that is constructed around us is constructed by liars, is constructed by people who are close to those that they are meant to be policing, it should lead us also to an optimistic understanding because if wars can be started by lies, truth can be started, peace can be started by truth. So that is our task and it is your task, go and get the truth, get into the ballpark and get the ball and give it to us and we'll spread it all over the world." source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsgSifdbtas&feature=youtu.be [RIGHT-CLICK IMAGE, 'NEW TAB'] LINK | source LINK | UNGAD - statement LINK | UNGAD - LEGAL OPINION SAVE ASSANGE Justice4Assange

White Man

ministry of tokyo TOKYO COMMENT Stumbled on an article by Dr Ang Swee Chai that had me commenting on what was unrelated to the intended subject matter of the original post, so the commentary has been transported below. COMMENT from Original Tokyo Post Dr Ang Swee Chai has done a lot of useful and important work that is commendable.  However, as a European and white identified female, I am insulted by the term "White Male British Surgical Hierarchy".  I don't buy into the post WWII capitalist sponsored Western intelligentsia 'feminist' ideology that is exploitative and anything but 'feminist' in nature, and an ideology that is part of the intellectual, cultural and institutional propaganda and indoctrination push for what amounts to dangerous dismemberment of the integrity of the social, political and institutional order of European society, along with decades-long, irrevocable and irrevocably damaging, imposition of imported (and self-perpetuating) demographic threat to all Europeans that spells the end of Europe and of Europeans as European peoples. Imagine if  the term "White Male British Surgical Hierarchy" was reversed and a European female referred to the 'Yellow Male" hierarchy of any description while hosted by the 'Yellow Man's' nation.  I firmly believe Europeans have a right to pre-eminence in their own societies and institutions, and that the role of European males in European societies must not be underestimated or undermined by European societies that intend to remain healthy and intend to retain European heritage. Switched over to something else, to check out reader comments on a completely different subject that is unrelated to anything in this post. This remark was among the various comments: "Only in America can a hacker receive a more severe punishment than a white college athlete rapist" What does that even mean? Seriously. There's hacking and there's hacking. But whatever the purported costs to others of hacking (versus, say, the physical and psychological costs of the crime of rape), hackers can expect to receive severe penalties; probably as a deterrent to others motivated to follow suit, in what is an effort by the ruling capitalists and their government agents to clamp down on whistleblowing (and thus exposure of government and corporate corruption and wrongdoing). Then there's some completely separate matter that is brought up, the details of which are unknown, which is also (indirectly) comment on white males in European/white society, formerly predominantly Northern European American society that has been progressively transformed by the policies of the forces of capitalism to 'pluralistic' capitalist empire derivative and capitalist empire serving disparate and highly conflicted, unsafe (existentially and otherwise detrimental to European interests) New World (capitalist) 'society', that the US-Anglo capitalists, their capitalist allies and capitalist collaborators, and their sponsored media and intelligentsia agents wish to impose on all European nations, destroying thousands of years of indigenous European heritage in the process, in the case of Europe itself). We know nothing about the hacking matter referred to or the rape matter referred to (or the guilt or otherwise of the alleged 'rapist').  So this is really nowhere, save that it is an echo of what has become the commonplace, academic, media, mainstream, institutional, intelligentsia, and often of everyday social (and, apparently, socially accepted)  'open societies' Western ideological status quo reinforcement-acting messaging displayed and managed by ideological, political and social keepers, professional and otherwise.  Guardians of prevailing post WWII capitalist adopted and sponsored, capitalist serving, socially Marxist ideology (versus material Marxism) that is applied to what is imposed, superimposed, unnatural heterogeneous (non-homogeneous) social groups that are relocated to what are host European social group(s); European groups that are a separate entity with separate rights and inalienable rights associated with European heritage.  Guardians of an unsound, illegitimate ideology that is prominently preached and portrayed in media and entertainment, and espoused and reinforced by its self-appointed guardians:  academics, media and other intelligentsia.  Capitalist engineered and sponsored ideology that is otherwise often a symptom of general moral 'shepherding' and virtue signalling in various public fora.  However, that is is more than merely virtue signalling and 'keeping' the religion (ideology):  it is in fact exercise of suppression of European interests and therefore subjugation of Eurpean interests and subjection of Europeans to illegitimate political divestment, political control and ideological control), that is an ongoing attack on white males in Western society and, therefore, on European societies themselves and an attack on European peoples, as a distinct biological, social, cultural and political entity and an entity whose rights (and social and all other interests) ought properly to prevail at all times, in what is European society. While European rights are usurped and while European man is vilified, sobering and very disturbing social facts are ignored by detractors of Europeans (white males being the special target) and promoters of the American capitalist model of capitalist serving European-destroying society. The following are facts that never get mentioned by the Western propaganda pushing and social engineering capitalist-controlled media, or by the indoctrinated, socially Marxist, ideologically cucked, virtue-signalling, Western intelligentsia bashers of the European male: UNITED STATES In the 36,620 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was black, 100 percent of the offenders were black, and 0.0 percent of the offenders were white. The table explains that 0.0 percent means that there were under 10 incidents nationally. ... 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man. What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man. frontpagemag.com Where is the Western capitalist controlled media and capitalist sponsored intelligentsia concern for white women being raped wholesale by black men in the US? Likewise, where is the concern for European women being raped wholesale by foreigners from completely different cultures and mindsets etc, that have flooded Europe for decades? Where is the concern for putting all effectively hostage to invasion European women, across the entire f*cking planet, in danger (with your illegitimate capitalist-sponsored ideology and your capitalist controlled media lies), you deplorable c*nts? OTHER That's my take on this subject at the moment. I have not come to terms with the destruction of Europe and of Europeans, although the process is so far gone in the West that it is a certainty. How can Europeans reclaim their nations when their nations have been flooded with millions of aliens that now form significant percentages of the population? I don't know how to come to terms with the enormity of the destruction. Destruction of European societies that is not merely the destruction of the distant future of European people: it is the destruction of the physical safety of ALL Europeans that is abundantly apparent in the here and now. What safety Europeans had in European societies is gone and Europeans are sitting ducks in their own societies and they are being raped, violently assaulted, robbed and murdered on a daily basis. I will die knowing Europe and all European societies — and thus all Europeans —  were destroyed in my lifetime by US-Anglo Capitalism. PS  -  What applies here, to my way of thinking, applies to other societies.  For example, I would not expect the Chinese or Koreans to host a 15% and more growing population of African, Middle Eastern, European or Mexican foreigners that keep pouring in.  Nor would I expect the Chinese or Koreans to give up their heritage and rights as Chinese or Koreans (including prevailing rights and exclusive political rights etc), even if I lived among them.

Dr Ang Swee Chai - "Ariel Sharon and the Horrors of the Sabra and Shatilla Massacre"

ministry of tokyo Dr Ang Swee Chai http://www.globalresearch.ca/ariel-sharon-and-the-horrors-of-the-sabra-and-shatilla-massacre/5364681 Ariel Sharon and the Horrors of the Sabra and Shatilla Massacre By Dr Ang Swee Chai Global Research, January 13, 2014 The passing of Ariel Sharon brought back the memories of the horrors of the Sabra Shatilla massacre of September,’82. I arrived in August that year as a volunteer surgeon to help the war victims of Lebanon. The people in Lebanon were wounded, made homeless and lost precious friends and families as the result of ten weeks of ruthless bombardment. That was the Operation Peace for Galilee launched by Sharon who was then the Defence Minister of Israel in June 1982. No one knew how many were killed as the result of that offensive – the London newspapers estimated a thirty thousand with many times more made homeless. When a ceasefire was agreed with the evacuation of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, Sharon broke that ceasefire and drove tanks under air-cover launching a land invasion into Lebanon’s capitol Beirut. Part of the tanks sealed Sabra Shatilla and prevented the helpless civilian victims from escaping, while sending in Israel’s allies into the camps to carry out the most brutal massacre of defenceless women, children and old people under Israel’s watch. The blame was quickly and deliberately shifted to the Lebanese as perpetrators of the massacres, so that today no one can mention that massacre without blaming the Lebanese Phalange, yet forgetting the Israeli organisers of that event. I worked in Gaza Hospital in Sabra Shatilla during the massacre trying to save the lives of a few dozen people, but outside the hospital hundreds were killed. My patients and I knew that Sharon and his officers were in control, and without them the massacre would not be possible. The residents of Sabra Shatilla could at least have escaped. Now more than 30 years later, we know that the killers were brought in by Israeli armoured cars and tanks, obeyed Israeli commands, their paths lit by Israeli military flares, and some of them also wore Israeli uniforms. The mutilated bodies of the victims were thrown into mass graves by Israeli bulldozers. This Sharon continued on to be Israeli Prime Minister, and built the Wall which imprisoned the Palestinians in the West Bank. Sharon’s Wall cut through their lands,  separating people from their homes, children from their schools, farmers from their orchards,  patients from hospitals, husbands from wives, and children from parents. He marched into the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem 2000 with fully armed Israeli soldiers and tried to have the West believe that his intention was for peace. He was responsible for other massacres such as in Jenin, Qibya and Khan Yunis just to name a few. The older generation in Khan Yunis in Gaza remembers that he killed all the grown men in the massacre of 1956 and left only the women and children to bury the dead. I thought these facts should be publicised. Those who eulogise Sharon in his role of building Israel should also remember that he built his nation over the dead bodies of the Palestinian people, and the continued dispossession of those who are still alive. Dr Ang Swee Chai, Author of From Beirut to Jerusalem, International Librarie, Beirut The above text was addressed as a letter to Mr Michael Young The Editor Daily Star Beirut http://www.globalresearch.ca/ariel-sharon-and-the-horrors-of-the-sabra-and-shatilla-massacre/5364681 Terry Xu http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2016/03/16/dr-ang-swee-chai-a-self-imposed-exile-faces-issue-with-ica-over-dual-citizenship/ Dr Ang Swee Chai, a self-imposed exile, faces issue with ICA over dual citizenship By Terry Xu on March 16, 2016 Orthopaedic surgeon Ang Swee Chai, an inductee for the Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame (SWHF), in virtue of her humanitarian work, is unable to turn up for her induction ceremony because the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) refuse to assure her that her Singapore citizenship will not be stripped from her when she enters the country. The SWHF was launched in 2014 by Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO) to recognise and celebrate the many contributions of women to Singapore’s development, and to share the stories of these outstanding women so as to inspire others, especially younger Singaporeans. SCWO will mark International Women’s Day 2016 by inducting 14 honourees to the SWHF on 18 March (Friday). The 14 women comprise two Supreme Court judges, six sportswomen, two food personalities, a diplomat, an activist/advocate, a medical aid worker, and a community/social worker. Dr Ang, 67, a self-imposed exile, is one of the 14 who are due to be inducted into the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame on Friday for her work in Palestinian refugee camps in the 1980s and 1990s Dr Ang is the co-Founder and Patron of British Charity Medical Aid for Palestinians. She is also the widow of Singapore exile, Francis Khoo*. However, Dr Ang is unable to obtain the special travel document to come to Singapore for the induction ceremony on Friday. The documents are needed to assure her that her Singapore citizenship will not be stripped when she enters Singapore. Replying to Straits Times through an email, Dr Ang wrote, "I can come into Singapore with a British passport, but unless there is assurance that the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) will not strip me of my Singapore citizenship, I must not risk it," An MHA spokesman said the Government does not allow citizens to hold dual citizenship, and will not issue travel documents if they have not renounced their foreign citizenship. She said Dr Ang's 2012 travel document was issued with a "clear understanding that she would resolve her dual citizenship status expeditiously". ICA said that it has reminded Dr Ang to do so four times - the last reminder was last month, on 4 February, a spokesman said. "ICA will process her request for such a document, once she shows proof she has started the process of renouncing her British citizenship." Ambassador Bilahari Kausikan who is currently Ambassador-at-Large and Policy Adviser in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) made a comment on his Facebook account saying,  "As she is travelling on a UK passport the presumption must be that she has UK citizenship and yet she is asking ICA for an assurance that she will not lose her Singapore citizenship if she visits Singapore on a UK passport. How can ICA give her such an assurance? She should well know it is impossible for ICA. What makes her so special that an exception to the policy must be made just for her?" Dr Ang explains her reasons for dual citizenship The Online Citizen contacted Dr Ang this morning, for her to answer more about the reasons for the dual citizenship and the reluctance to surrender either of the two citizenship. Why were you issued with a British passport? I applied for British citizenship in order to get a passport to meet my father in Johore Bahru. That was after my mother died in 1990. By then I have already lived as a refugee in the UK for 13 years. I had a refugee travel document which restricts travel to many countries including Europe unless a visa was granted. Under the ASEAN agreement I could not travel to Malaysia either. When my mother was dying I asked the Singapore Government permission to come home to see her, that request was turned down, and I was unable to see her nor attend her funeral. I then knew that I would not be able to see my father since it is difficult for him to come to UK, and he was growing old, so for that reason I applied for a British passport. It also made my travelling to work with refugees in Lebanon less risky, since up to then I was travelling on a refugee document myself. For instance at the Sabra and Shatilla massacre of 1982 as a refugee I was not given British consulate protection, and also application to do work with the Palestinians involve lengthy waits for visas, and long questioning at airports due to my being a refugee even with valid visas. Airport securities in the Middle East were and still is very cynical about allowing refugees entry into their countries and often will detain me to check with their embassies in UK that I was truly who I claim to be. For the sake of my father and for the sake of being able to be a doctor to the Palestinians I applied for a British passport. That was in in 1990 after my mother died. The passport was granted in 1992. Why can't you choose to surrender your British passport? As you can see from my letter to the SCWO I have lived and work in the UK for 39 years and if I renounced my British citizenship I immediately lose my right of abode, right to work and right to travel. I therefore can be deported, lose my job as a surgeon, and cannot visit Palestine and Lebanon. I will be giving up what I have been doing all these years for a Singapore Travel Document allowing me to visit Singapore and look for a job and a place to stay. I am prepared to do that but how am I even to do that when I do not even have a Singapore Travel Document to come home to sort these issues out? Why hold onto the Singapore citizenship, given that you have been out of Singapore so many years? I will not give up my Singapore Citizenship since I did not voluntarily leave Singapore but was arrested by the ISD and released to try to persuade Francis to come back to surrender himself for detention and questioning by the ISD. Under detention and continuous interrogation I agreed to do so. But I know Francis was never a Communist so why should I put pressure on him to be subjected to imprisonment and torture to confess that he was one? Just so that I can continue to live and work in comfort in Singapore? The thought suddenly felt so revolting that by the time I met him at Heathrow airport I decided to join him and filed for political asylum. With that I began my 39 years of exile. I remain a Singapore citizen so long as I do not come home. That was the deal. Not attending the SCWO is disappointing, but not as painful as being unable to see my parents and my mother-in-law when they were dying and not being allowed to attend their funeral. Letter in full from Dr Ang Swee Chai to the SCWO on her predicament with ICA. Dr Ang has written a letter to SCWO to express her apologies for not being able to make it for the Friday's event and the difficulties that she face.     "My Dear Friends of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations, :     I am writing to you with great disappointment that I am unable to join you all on the 18 March 2016 for the wonderful celebration. It is not of my own choice, so I ask your forgiveness for letting you down.     Since you first told me of the wonderful news of your decision to include me in the Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame, I have emailed the relevant authorities requesting a Singapore Travel Document, as far back as November 2015. I was so thrilled at the prospect of being able to come to the event and meeting  everyone, family and friends, and to thank you all personally. I now received news that I will not get a Singapore Travel Document. It can only be granted upon my producing proof that I have renounced British Citizenship. The last Singapore Travel Document granted in 2012 when I brought my husband’s ashes home was a one off and not to be repeated.     There is not enough time to do this as I must secure British Residency before surrendering British Citizenship. My right of abode and right to work as a surgeon in the UK is conditional on British Citizenship and once that is gone my entire status in the UK is going to be illegal and I stand to be deported. The sensible thing to do is to apply for British Residency before renouncing British Citizenship and truly at this late hour there is not enough time to do this. Application for British Residency takes five years. In other words I would not be able to enter Singapore for another five years!     I have been going round in circles wondering what I should do since I learnt of this. The realisation of a further five years of not being able to come home seems so much more distressing than the last 39 years living in exile. The last 39 years saw my being refused the opportunity to see my parents and my mother-in-law when they were dying, and of course I could not attend their funerals as well.     By God’s grace, as I woke up to Mothering Sunday this morning and started to pray for all mothers, including foster mothers who protect orphans,  I gathered enough composure and strength to write to you now.  I really should not be feeling sorry for myself but be thankful that your invitation to this great honour has prompted me to write to the Singapore authorities and research the complicated mechanics of how to come home.     I recall when I was having enormous difficulties fighting the White Male British Surgical Hierarchy as a junior woman surgeon in the UK, I have clung on to the wise saying “Never ask for the way to be easy, but only that it is possible and the strength to follow it”.  I am much older now, but what gave me hope and courage decades ago has now come back to strengthen me again.     When 18 March comes, I will be praying for all of you that everything will go as planned and it will be a wonderful and inspiring evening, that your hard work and efforts will be greatly rewarded.     With very best wishes and God bless     Dr Ang Swee Chai" *Francis Khoo was a human rights lawyer. He was one of five persons who attempted to save the Singapore Herald, a liberal newspaper. Together with G Raman, Francis also defended two marine workers who were charged with Tan Wah Piow for rioting in the early 1970s. He fled to England when his friends, including G Raman were arrested and imprisoned without trial under the Internal Security Act in February 1977. http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2016/03/16/dr-ang-swee-chai-a-self-imposed-exile-faces-issue-with-ica-over-dual-citizenship/ http://archive.is/bUazl COMMENT SABRA & SHATILLA MASSACRE Agents and mercenaries of US-Anglo capitalism stood by, no doubt funding and supporting the Israelis during the Israeli aggression in Lebanon, ahead of moving on to bombing Serbian children with graffiti bombs and letting Serbian people in Serbian Kosovo get ethnically cleansed: US-ANGLO CAPITALIST MASSACRE SERBIA Yes, I just check the US aid to Israel - $233.7 billion, adjusted for inflation as at 2013: Ariel Sharon sounds an unpleasant man. Arranging a massacre of civilians is appalling. From the Israeli perspective, they were pursuing whatever their immediate and long-term ends in the region were and, from what is maybe a 'realpolitik' perspective, this is perhaps how war is truly waged (at least by those backed by the might of the US-Anglo Capitalist Empire) ... without the hindrance of adhering to those pesky human rights international law treaties that aren't ratified or have been unsigned, as the case may be.  Rome Statute 2002 interesting article written by academic:   here. Suspect that arranging a massacre of civilians would be considered war crime, pursuant to modern warfare standards and international laws. As Ariel Sharon was later elected as Prime Minister of Israel, his actions and character, or personal qualities, must be highly regarded in a leader by the Israelis. Looks like the Israelis have a sick sense of humour in naming their operations:  Operation Peace for Galilee, in this case.  I'm not sure if this is intended or not. Dr Ang Swee Chai mentions the following: Sabra Shatilla Massacre Jenin Massacre Qibya Massacre Khan Yunis Massacre 1953 Massacre It's going to take me the rest of the day to look up all those Sharon massacres. Wonder if Hillary Clinton would consider Ariel Sharon's massacres 'deplorable' ... in which case, Ariel Sharon would definitely have himself a basket of deplorable massacres. BUTCHER OF LIBYA HILLARY CLINTON ON BUTCHER OF BEIRUT Slobodan Milosevic was vilified and referred to by the Western press as the "Butcher of Bosnia".  That's Slobodan Milosevic that was murdered by capitalist agents in a cell in Brussels, who was recently exonerated by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Doubt that Ariel Sharon was called the "Butcher of the Middle East" by the same capitalist-controlled press ... although it sounds like he might have deserved the title, judging by Dr Chai's article. Israelis also broke the ceasefire. The impression I have is that the Israeli government is not not to be trusted in war, spying, guerilla warfare, nuclear armament and maybe other things I've yet to discover. PS  ...  I just looked up 'Butcher of the Middle East' and I found:  Butcher of Beirut (Sharon). NOTE I don't do this subject justice, as I don't know enough to really comment intelligently ... and I've wound up hijacking the topic with side material (Serbia versus US Capitalist Empire, years later), which I find an interesting comparison of capitalist-controlled US foreign policy. In Lebanon, potentially 30,000 people were massacred and it wasn't like it was an impersonal bombing or a quick shot to the head, or something like that.  The level of extreme violence and cruelty is incomprehensible:  I don't understand anyone wanting to kill in this way, although I can understand that people do kill.  I always imagine a 'civilised' killing, whatever that is.  Maybe I've watched too many movies, before I stopped watching them. The massacre in Lebanon involved extreme and up-close and personal violence against everyone, including including women and children; and it involved rapes and other atrocities, going by my quick perusal of an article I intend to go back to. LINK to further comment on side topic regarding something that caught my attention looking at this (white man). [Uh-oh ... I burnt the lentils I was boiling, while I was doing my look ups and listening to loud music.  The place stinks.  I'm going to be in so much trouble.  I'll not hear the end of this.  But at least my sneaky cigarette smoking is now covered.  LOL ]

Planet Tokyo: 16th September

Planet Tokyo It seems I've got a magic body clock that snaps back to normal by itself.  For the first time in ages it's come good.  It's semi-normal.  Keep telling myself I must get outside and do 'things', but I don't have a desire to.  I like it here looking at things, a heap more than the outdoors ... or everyday reality.  LOL Instead of doing something practical, like I was thinking I ought to maybe do for a change, I jumped straight online and looked at some news material of interest to me.  But I can only handle small doses of what's going on in Europe and the media propaganda that's waged against the European public. Snuck in a couple of cigarettes indoors with my (now) cold coffee, with window open and fan running, in hope that I can cover my 'evil doing' tracks.  LOL Trawled Google images for a while, entertaining myself as the wax pot has been plugged in for heating.  Too lazy to bother plucking my untidy eyebrows that were sort of half done yesterday ... so I'm resorting to waxing.  Hoping I don't clumsily wax off my eyelashes this time around, like I did last time. At the rate I'm going, about the only practical thing I'll get done is eyebrow waxing. Checked out what day it was. On this day: BLACK WEDNESDAY 1992 – Black Wednesday British pound forced out of European Exchange Rate Mechanism by currency speculators forced to devalue against German mark. months in advance of Black Wednesday George Soros, currency market speculator / Quantum Fund built up a huge short position in pounds sterling aim: immense profit if the pound fell below the lower band of the ERM. George Soros made over £1 billion in profit by short selling sterling. £3.3 billion - loss to British taxpayers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wednesday SABRA & SHATILA MASSACRE (LEBANON) 1982 – Lebanon War: The Sabra and Shatila massacre in Lebanon refugee camp Killed:  762 to 3,500 civilians, mostly Palestinians and Lebanese Shiites by militia associated with:  Kataeb Party Kataeb Party (Lebanese Phalanges Party) Christian Democratic political party in Lebanon ideology:  primacy of preserving the Lebanese nation, but with a 'Phoenician' identity versus Arab, Muslim anticommunist and anti-Palestinian considers Lebanese sometimes a Phoenician and sometimes a Syriac people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kataeb_Party Kataeb Party / Phalanges allies to the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) ordered by the IDF to clear out Sabra and Shatila from Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) fighters part of the IDF manoeuvring into West Beirut IDF received reports of some of the Phalanges atrocities in Sabra and Shatila but failed to stop them massacre presented as retaliation for assassination of newly elected Lebanese president Bachir Gemayel, leader of the Lebanese Kataeb Party wrongly assumed Palestinian militants had carried out the assassination direct perpetrators of the killings reportedly the "Young Men" / gang recruited by Elie Hobeika, a prominent figure in the Phalanges Elie Hobeika, Lebanese Forces intelligence chief + liaison officer with Mossad recruits:  men who expelled from the Lebanese Forces for insubordination or criminal activities killings believed to have been on Hobeika orders Hobeika family murdered by Palestinian militia & Lebanese allies:  Damour massacre 1976 Damour massacre, response to: 1976 Karantina massacre of Palestinians and Lebanese Muslims by Christian militants Hobeika later elected to parliament 1986 coup against Hobeika Hobeika killed in car-bomb detonated near home, 2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre SABRA & SHATILA MASSACRE (LEBANON) Up to 2,000 Palestinians killed on Sept. 16-17, 1982 Israeli military allowed a Christian militia to attack the camp then-Defence Minister Ariel Sharon was forced to resign after special Israeli investigative panel declared him to be "personally responsible" for the massacre NOAM CHOMSKY: Lebanese Christian terrorist force, allied with Israel. The soldiers watched as they illuminated it. They helped them enter. They watched for several days while they murdered, not 45 people, but somewhere—Israel claims 800, other analyses go up to several thousand. That’s the Sabra-Shatila massacre. The idea that Sharon had indirect—the tsar, incidentally, was bitterly condemned internationally for direct responsibility. That’s, in fact, one of the events that set off the huge flow of refugees from Eastern Europe, including my father, among others. But—so this was a kind of a replica, except far more brutal and vicious. And Sharon escaped more than a mild censure. It’s true that he was removed as defense minister, but it wasn’t long before he came back. And that’s one of a number of extremely shocking incidents in his career. http://www.democracynow.org/2014/1/13/noam_chomsky_sabra_shatila_massacre_that SABRA & SHATILA MASSACRE (LEBANON) Kahan commission was established by the Israeli government to investigate and found out that Israeli military personnel were involved and were aware that a massacre was in progress without taking steps to put a stop to it. And so it regarded Israel to be indirectly responsible for the massacre and held Ariel Sharon responsible for disregarding the act of massive bloodshed and not taking preventive measures. However, this did not cause any lasting damage to his image as Sharon was elected the Prime Minister of Israel in 2001. http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_1967to1991_sabra_shatila.php SABRA & SHATILA MASSACRE (LEBANON) Ariel Sharon and the Horrors of the Sabra and Shatilla Massacre http://www.globalresearch.ca/ariel-sharon-and-the-horrors-of-the-sabra-and-shatilla-massacre/5364681 LINK Post / Comment re Article Whatever I've read about Soros, Black Wednesday and short selling, I've already forgotten.  All I know is he made a heap of money speculating on currency, but I can't remember the ins and outs of it. The Sabra and Shatilla Massacre I've read a little about before, but I've only got a sketchy idea of what happened.  Might read that Global Research article carefully.  I find their articles very good.  The Democracy Now article also looks interesting, but not sure I'm up for all that reading just now.  Brain is in slow-function mode.  In other news on this day: Aussie TV first transmitted from Sydney TV station in 1956.

Edgar Hoover looks as though there is only speculation as to who committed the Wall Street bombing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_bombing Wonder if the 1920 Wall Street bombing was an American capitalist agent insider job, aimed at expanding the surveillance and political police control of ruling American capitalists? I'm never going to take all of this in.  After I read the Global Research article, I think I'll need a break and some playing with images, for relief. LOL

Free Assange - Assange Medical and Psychological Records

ministry of tokyo ASSANGE [RIGHT-CLICK IMAGE.  'NEW TAB'.  MAGNIFY] https://wikileaks.org/Medical-Reports?livenow Assange Medical and Psychological Records 14 September 2016 Today WikiLeaks releases confidential medical and psychological reports concerning our editor Julian Assange’s situation. This part one publication consists of three documents: a twenty-seven page psycho-social and medical assessment from 10 November 2015, a report from Mr. Assange’s physician from 8 December 2015 and a dentist’s report from 31 July 2015. The in-depth assessment of the psychological and physical effects that the severely restrictive conditions of confinement within the small premises of the Embassy have had on Mr. Assange is by far the most detailed insight into the circumstances of his life inside the Embassy —including the multi-million dollar covert operation the United Kingdom admits to subjecting him to. He has been deprived of his liberty since 7 December 2010. He has not been charged with an offence. The deterioration of Mr. Assange’s physical health has arisen as a result of the extremely restrictive conditions of his confinement. The United Kingdom has formally refused safe access to even the most basic hospital diagnostics. On February 5th this year the United Nations found that Mr. Assange’s effective detention in the Embassy of Ecuador by the United Kingdom and Sweden is arbitrary and unlawful and that he must be freed and compensated. One of the factual elements that informed the conclusions of its 16-month investigation was Mr. Assange’s deteriorating health and the inability to safely access basic healthcare. https://wikileaks.org/Medical-Reports?livenow [RIGHT-CLICK IMAGE, 'NEW TAB'] LINK | source LINK | UNGAD - statement LINK | UNGAD - LEGAL OPINION https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsgSifdbtas&feature=youtu.be TRANSCRIPT [third party transcript / for quotation purposes, confirm audio] Julian #Assange If Wars can be Started by Lies Peace can be started by Truth Julian Assange speaking at Trafalgar Square 8th October 2011 ". . . and that is something I want to talk about. What can we do with our values, what can we do at all in relation to this war? Because the reality is Margaret Thatcher had it right; there is no society any more. What there is is a transnational security elite that is busy carving up the world using your tax money. To combat that elite we must not petition; we must take it over. We must form our own networks of strength and mutual value which can challenge those strengths and self-interested values of the warmongers in this country and in others that have formed hand in hand an alliance to take money from the United States, from every NATO country, from Australia and launder it through Afghanistan, launder it through Iraq, lander it through Somalia, launder it through Yemen, launder it through Pakistan and wash that money in people's blood. I don't need to tell you the depravity of war, you are all too familiar with its images, with the refugees of war, with information that we have revealed showing the everyday squalor and barbarity of war. Information such as the individual deaths of over 130,000 people in Iraq. Individual deaths that were kept secret by the US military who denied that they ever counted the deaths of civilians. Instead I want to tell you what I think is the way that wars come to be and that wars can be undone. In democracies, or the pseudo-democracies that we are evolving into, wars are a result of lies. The Vietnam War and the push for US involvement was the result of the Gulf of Tonkin incident . . . a lie. The Iraq War famously is the result of lies. Wars in Somalia are a result of lies. The Second World War and the German invasion of Poland was the result of carefully constructed lies. That is war by media. Let us ask ourselves of the complicit media, which is the majority of the mainstream press, what is the average death count attributed to each journalist? When we understand that wars come about as a result of lies peddled to the British public and the American public and the publics all over Europe and other countries, then who are the war criminals?  It is not just leaders, it is not just soldiers, it is journalists; journalists are war criminals. And while one might think that that should lead us to a state of despair, that the reality that is constructed around us is constructed by liars, is constructed by people who are close to those that they are meant to be policing, it should lead us also to an optimistic understanding because if wars can be started by lies, truth can be started, peace can be started by truth. So that is our task and it is your task, go and get the truth, get into the ballpark and get the ball and give it to us and we'll spread it all over the world." source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsgSifdbtas&feature=youtu.be COMMENT Today's image play, plus additional things I found interesting. Powerful speech. And even moreso when you can see the lies told in the capitalist-controlled media about all sorts of things. I've not yet seen the medical stuff. Thought I'd link to it here.
