 MH17 crash: flight recorder found as anger at Russia mounts: US criticises Russia for arming rebels

"US criticises Russia for arming rebels"
The hypocrisy of the US State Department, Congress and the Whitehouse has been a source of constant amazement to me and no doubt to others over many years. This latest piece of US duplicity criticises Russia for "arming rebels" when for over three years, (and still continuing today), the United States has been pouring weapons, ammunition, supplies and money into the so called Free Syrian Army and other rebel factions in Syria including the now much condemned ISIS, in their struggle against the Bashar al-Assad regime in Damascus.
Why is it that when the State Department "official" or Kerry, or Clinton, or Biden, or any of the other mendacious individuals who seem to populate the corridors of power in Washington, come to the podium and spew out these absurdities, that they are never challenged by audience, reporters or media pundits?
It is as though the media become unable to move or to understand that what they are seeing and hearing is no more than a mirage with sound emanating from the podium trying to convince them that white is black and black is white.
There is a collective acceptance that what is being fed to them is true, and the fact that it comes from the Americans means that it has an even greater degree of authenticity.
It is unfortunate and extremely sad that there are a great many people around the world who also believe that if "the US" says something, now matter how hypocritical it may appear, then it must be true and the explanation of the apparent contradiction is accepted as eminently plausible.
It seems that the American jury, judge and appeal court has already pronounced a verdict on the circumstances and fate of the Boeing 777 flight MH17, well in advance of any official findings.
Russia is to blame and hypocrisy of the US will always find a way of emphasising it.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
