Gus Leonisky's blogthe book that "does not exist"...Some readers were alarmed that the book was "redacted": indeed, names (only a few on a large set) were blackened, so as to make them illegible ... This decision is fully agreed between the author and the publisher. In fact, the author does not reside in France for the reasons that we know, the editions Demi-Lune could be considered legally responsible for his remarks, and would be exposed to expensive lawsuits, even to the removal of the book. Consequently, we decided by mutual agreement, not to withdraw the contentious paragraphs, but to hide some names. The book is available in foreign language versions, and from the Voltaire Network website. *** The author: Thierry MEYSSAN
cleaning dunny-diplomacy between diplomats...Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop has said there is a "powerful argument" that US President Donald Trump's threat to scrap the Iran nuclear deal could imperil efforts to negotiate a peaceful outcome with North Korea. In a significant sharpening of Australia's public rhetoric on the Obama-era Iran agreement, Ms Bishop said she had asked US officials, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, how they would counter the argument that North Korea could not trust the US if it walked away from previous international agreements. read more: http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/bishop-warns-trump...
"senate intelligence committee zeroes in on trump tower meeting and first charges are approved": secret signpost...Washington: A federal grand jury has approved the first charges in the investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, a source briefed on the matter told Reuters. The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge, but plans have been prepared for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday. read more: http://www.smh.com.au/world/special-counsel-robert-mueller-files-charges...
I will believe it when I see it... It sounds a bit more lame than an AFP raid on GetUp! or a trumped up charge. Excuse the pun. But I really believe the cat (or the rat) did it.
when our media writes history on the run and faces the robotic news...History is full of it.
on the drip feed of the usual excuses...I’ll keep this brief, because there’s only one thing you can say about the events of the past 24 hours: what a complete shocker.
invasion of the triffids...Around 30 years ago, Mad magazine did this short social study of Donald Trump... Now you know...
el stinko grande...Why has New Zealand got fibre to the home, mostly renewable energy, the Bledisloe Cup and a charismatic leader and we have not? Denis Goodwin Dee Why read more: http://www.smh.com.au/comment/smh-letters/west-just-a-postscript-in-a-ta...
frosted politics across the tasman via the antarctic...
taking the bullshit by the horns...
‘Provocative adverts for Kremlin-owned television channel’ is the familiar opening for the Times’ latest knickers in a twist article on RT, as the Murdoch-owned broadsheet joined the angry scrum to condemn a tongue-in-cheek advertising campaign on the London Underground.
how yamerika was won by donald sam...A notorious Russian internet “troll factory” spent about $2.3 million during the 2016 election cycle to meddle in US politics, paying the salaries of 90 “US desk” employees who helped wage disinformation campaigns via social media that reached millions of Americans. The operation also contacted US activists directly and offered them thousands of dollars to organize protests on divisive issues, including race relations.
an eagle and a bear go into a stormy bar...As the Americans blame the communists and Russia to have invented “global warming” to bugger up the US economy which is based on burning fossil fuels as if there was no tomorrow, some Russian newspapers are blaming the USA for having created the concept of global warming to bugger up the Russian economy — as a mythical weapon aimed at curtailing Russian oil and gas exports. Overall, quietly, the Russian government knows that global warming is increasingly problematic and the government is taking steps to defend against climate change. The Russian scientists are no dummies like the US politicians who waste a lot of hot air with brainfarts.
archimedes, einstein and edison had competition...We are living in the age of deceit, fast becoming the era of imbecility. Our Trumble is getting the bug of invention and in a rare moment of lucidity he declared that E = MC2. Wow. Here he explains that E (Economy) equals M (Muck) multiplied by C (Coal) powered to the square. And we get screwed...
certainty...A Clean Energy Target recommended by Australia's chief scientist will not be adopted, with the Federal Government instead proposing a new plan to bring down electricity prices.
