Hypocrisy rules USA

Two articles from RT have piqued my interest this morning.

The first detailing the "disappointment" expressed from the US Embassy in Moscow over Russia blocking the further import of soya-bean and corn crops from the USA.   Apparently the food safety watchdog has found sixty four cases of bacterial contamination in US soya-bean crops and dry rot in some of the corn crop.   One of the four recent cases of bacterial contamination includes a bacteria not found in Russia.   However, the USA and the EU have imposed sanctions on Russia over their annexing of the Crimean Peninsula.    So it boils down to you are a naughty boy Russia, you can't export anything to us, because we are so whiter than white, but YOU WILL IMPORT FROM US regardless of the quality of the product we are trying to palm off on you.

The second is the accusation from the US yesterday that Russian war planes hit two hospitals in Aleppo, depriving 50,000 civilians of access to life saving services.    The accusation was sufficiently ambiguous that they avoided stating on what day this allegedly happened.     However, the Russians have countered with a fairly cohesive argument that they did not operate any air strikes over Aleppo on 10 February 2015, and they can substantiate this with evidence.    Not something the USA is able or willing to do to demonstrate their accusations.

Does the USA think it can make allegations without proof and the World will take notice because the claims are against Russia.

The situation in Syria is so complex that there are bound to be cases of (I hate this word because it is so dehumanising - but it is the "mot du jour") collateral damage.

Demographic suicide of Europe - Can it be reversed?

There is no doubt, to any rational, critical thinking person in the Western world, that Europe is going through as big a crisis as those of WW1 and WW2. Unfortunately, the crisis we currently find ourselves in has been created or at least abetted by our own political leaders. There has been much talk of the Frankfurt School and the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan, cultural marxism and the creep of Islamism within the West and Europe specifically. We are told that we need to import immigrants from the third world countries in order to fill the demographic hole created by Europeans not breeding sufficiently. The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan openly advocates the destruction of the European race, or at the very least its dilution. So for decades, various countries have made it fiscally less and less desirable to procreate. The married person's tax allowance was removed from UK citizens way back in the nineties, child benefit, in countries where it is paid, has...

Lord Taverne slams the will of the people.

Last night (13 March 2017) the House of Commons voted on the Bill to trigger Article 50 of the Lis bon Trea ty . This Bill allows the government of the UK to set in motion the process of separation from the European Union, nine months after the people of the UK voted, via a referendum, to leave. Despite the best efforts of Gina Miller (a Soros stooge) and a cabal of self-interested parties to block the UK government from trying to exit without parliamentary approval; a move that was upheld by several self-interested High Court and Supreme Court Judges were proven fruitless. In compliance with the court directive, the UK government tabled a Bill laying out the specifics of exiting the EU. Passed by the House of Commons, it went up to the House of Lords, who rejected the Bill and returned it to the elected House with amendments. The amendments were overturned by the elected House of Commons and it has since passed in the House of...

Pot and Kettle!!!

It never fails to amaze me that some people in positions of power have the nerve to judge countries when their own home nation is not known for banging the same drum..... The UN Human Rights Chief, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein from Saudi Arabia, has drawn the world's attention to the horrendous behaviour of the Turkish Authorities. He, quite correctly, has stated that the shooting at unarmed people protesting in Cizre, Turkey, was against their fundamental rights. This throws up two issues for me; Saudi Arabia has an appalling human rights record and the fact that a Saudi citizen is the head of the UN Human Rights is laughable. Does he criticise Saudi Arabia or are they off limits? Everyone has known about the flexible way that Turkey deals with the issue of human rights, but they have been assured that the EU will look again at their application to join....surely this should be the nail in the coffin of their ambition to join? ...
