LUNCH WITH AHED TAMIMI


Ahed Tamimi.

In Palestine, 17-year-old Ahed Tamimi was arrested by the Israeli military, because she opposes Israel's occupation of her land.

"It is four weeks since she was released from prison."

"Ahed, 16 and tiny, slaps and punches an Israeli soldier in full military gear standing in her front yard; the family says this happened hours after a rubber bullet hit a cousin in the head." 


In Palestine, Ahed is revered. 

In Israel, she is reviled. 

The Financial Times has had lunch with Ahed, at the Reef Cafe in Ramallah.

Ahed ordered pizza.

"In the West Bank, Israeli settlers now number about 400,000 and enjoy a freedom of movement that Palestinians are denied. 

"Ahed’s father talks of how he spent days in a coma in 1993 after being shaken violently during a military interrogation. 

"He says his sister died after being pushed down the stairs at a military court by a soldier." 

Ahed's mother, Nariman, says she was beaten and repeatedly strip-searched during a detention. 


Some Israelis get a thrill from killing kids like 12-year-old Muhammad al-Durrah.

"Ahed has evoked levels of sympathy for a Palestinian unseen since the televised killing in 2000 of 12-year-old Muhammad al-Durrah..."


The Jewish settlers are targeting Ahed, calling for her to be killed. 

They have posted [maps online that show] the road to Ahed's house.

FT: '9 11 WAS INSIDE JOB'



In the Financial Times, 26 May 2017, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says that 9 11 was an 'inside job'.


Mahathir Mohamad speaks his mind.

He criticises Muslim Malays for their laziness, poor time management and inbreeding.

He sees ISIS as being a non-Moslem 'political' force.

He insists that the 9 11 attacks were a 'false flag' operation.

He refers to conversations with a janitor from the Twin Towers.

William Rodriguez 'Last Man Out' heard explosions before any plane hit the buildings.

Mahathir Mohamad refers to inconsistencies in official accounts.

He says that Arabs are too disorganised to carry out such an attack.

"They are not the best of planners as I know," he says.

BREXIT CANCELLED?



Bilderberger Gideon Rachman believes that after some new negotiations, Brexit will be cancelled.

This may be Boris Johnson's plan.

"In the very early days of the referendum campaign, Boris Johnson and another leading Brexiter, former Tory leader, Michael Howard, both stated that a Brexit vote was a way of forcing Europe to make better terms with Britain."

Brexit




In 1992 the Danes voted to reject the Maastricht treaty.

In 2001 the Irish voted to reject the Nice treaty and in 2008 the Irish voted to reject the Lisbon treaty.

The Danes and the Irish were then granted some concessions. 

In each case, they had a second referendum. 

And the second time around they voted to accept the treaty.

I do not believe that Brexit will happen



In February 2016, Boris Johnson said: "There is only one way to get the change we need - and that is to vote to go; because all EU history shows that they only really listen to a population when it says No."

Once Johnson is Prime Minister, he can reverse his position on the EU.

I do not believe that Brexit will happen, writes Gideon Rachman in the Financial Times‎ 



"What Johnson would need to win a second referendum is an emergency brake on free movement of people, allowing the UK to limit the number of EU nationals moving to Britain if it has surged beyond a certain level.

"If the Remain campaign could fight a second referendum with a proper answer to the question of immigration it should be able to win fairly easily."

I do not believe that Brexit will happen, writes Gideon Rachman in the Financial Times‎ 

"The people of Britain are about to become the next victims of the ‘Coloured Revolution’ tactics used by Washington and Brussels against democratically elected governments from Serbia to Syria, from Ukraine to Brazil."

SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS: Now Britain Faces 'Coloured Revolution' 

Heseltine wants Farage involved in negotiating Britain's position.



The UK government has to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty if it wants to leave the EU.

A key columnist at the Financial Times writes:

"So pro-Europeans should give up?

"No.

"So long as a British government does not trigger Article 50, Britain remains an EU member."


Can Brexit be stopped? Anything is possible - Financial Times. There Is a Small but Real Possibility That Brexit Will Never Happen / Will article 50 ever be triggered? / 'Bracksies': how Brexit could wind up not actually happening / Will article 50 ever be triggered?



George Osborne says Britain won't consider triggering Article 50 until a new Prime Minister is in office.

Are we being conned?

Corbyn (officially supports Remain) and Johnson (officially supports Exit).

It all looks rigged?

Boris Johnson - "friends believe he is privately committed to the European Union."

Brexit Opinion Polls

Johnson - "his father was a member of the European Parliament and he spent many of his formative years in Brussels.

"He can trace his cosmopolitan family history to Turkey, Switzerland and Russia and he has Muslim, Jewish and Christian ancestors."

"Johnson didn't announce which side he was backing until February 21.

"Until then, British Prime Minister David Cameron believed he would back Remain.

"Days before Johnson announced he would support Brexit he told many close friends, including Roland Rudd, a longtime associate, that he would support the campaign to stay...

"Gove told Johnson he was backing Brexit and Johnson feared being outflanked...

"Johnson may emerge in a strong position in the short term no matter which way the vote goes. Corbyn will emerge further discredited whether it’s Yes or No..."

NEWS STORIES SPONSORED BY ADVERTISERS

How To Give It - How To Spend It - Financial Times.

If your blog contains the right kind of adverts it will be popular on Google.

New York Times.

In October 2014, the New York Times reported that the revenue earned from adverts, in its online edition, was up 17% in the third quarter...

The biggest cause of the growth was "sponsored content".

News organisations are increasingly producing 'sponsored content' - news stories that are paid for by advertisers.

"Sponsored content is one of the fastest-growing sources of revenue for the news industry."

..
CNN news stories appear to be sponsored by the CIA.

Google is all about advertising, and so it appears to be promoting the online New York Times.

"The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are among the newspaper groups that this year set up special divisions to create sponsored content for advertisers including Goldman Sachs and Netflix."

Recently, The Atlantic published a sponsored post for the Church of Scientology.

Mail Online gets its journalists to produce sponsored content on behalf of advertisers.

News organisations



BuzzFeed, the Huffington Post and Vice Media are among those producing 'sponsored content'.

BuzzFeed's main source of revenue is sponsored content.

When you read BuzzFeed's '11 Reasons Why Showering Is The Best Part Of The Day' you should be aware that the article is sponsored by Dove, owned by Unilever.

Sir Martin Sorrell of WPP, the world’s largest advertising group, says: "there's very little risk" for those publishers that "make clear that the piece is paid for".

News organisations

..
CNN is now seen as being a propaganda channel.

The Financial Times has a regular colour supplement called How To Spend It.

Recently this supplement, temporarily renamed How To Give It, appeared to be devoting 130 pages to the subject of giving money to the charity 'Save the Children'.

The charity's Chief Executive Justin Forsyth, a former advisor to Tony Blair, earned £163,000 last year.

There is a belief that certain charities are fronts for the security services, such as MI6 and the CIA.

The How To Give It supplement was stuffed full of adverts for such brands as Rolex, Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Armani, Chopard, Fendi and Tiffany.

There were also features on luxury restaurants, luxury yachts and luxury holidays.

There were approximately two pages of text relating to 'Save the Children'.

LETTER FROM M F CORALL, AGED 98


Scotland is very rich.

In the Financial Times, a Mrs M Corall writes:
I am a 98 year-old great grandmother and I am depressed that there are people in Scotland who lack all ambition for themselves and their country to the extent that they are prepared to vote NO in the Scottish independence referendum and so maintain Scotland's subservient position within the Union.
I have lived through 26 British governments and none of them has shown they understand or care about Scotland...


Polls show close race month before Scotland vote.

Male life expectancy in parts of Glasgow is a mere 54 years.
This places Scotland alongside developing African countries...
The reasons for this appalling state of affairs are poverty and lack of political representation...
For the past 40 years Scotland has been at the heart of the European oil and gas industry yet still poverty and ill-health plague the nation. 
With at least another generation of oil and gas to be extracted we cannot afford to let this continue.


Scotland is very rich

A vote for independence will drive the double-dealers out and give Scots the chance to make decisions in their own interest and, yes, be responsible for good and bad results.
I acknowledge there are uncertainties but this is always a necessary part of large political acts.
Indeed recent experience of global economic disaster has amply demonstrated that if uncertainty is the major worry there is no alternative but to keep your head beneath the blankets and pretend the real world does not exist...
At almost 100 I am at last being given the opportunity to be politically mature.
M F Corall
Aberdeen, UK.
