Crafty 50 something Northerner who enjoys a good real ale, a well travelled wine and a smooth aged single malt. Centre left leaning and perplexed at the current state of the world. Still in detox from the other place, but happy to be settling in here.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.
But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

Other than the fact that he just murdered an innocent woman, that was my first thought. Since when does ANY "law enforcement officer," and I use that term lightly, flee the crime scene?

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Greenland.. it seems the Trump Administration have convinced the party wanting independence from Denmark that the only way is to be in allegiance with the US. Said Greenland MPs aren’t accepting that they would become American, and still not be independent! Gullible fools or useful idiots?

The thing about the Maduro kidnapping was that Donald Trump thought that Venezuela would just fall apart.
Instead the Vice President has been sworn in as President and business continues as normal.
The US is hated by 92% of Venezuelan's they will not accept a US puppet.

As of Monday, all of Venezuela’s ruling officials aside from Maduro appear to have remained in their posts, including Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who controls the police and was known as one of Maduro’s most fearsome enforcers.
