Robert Murdoch threatened the monopoly of the BBC…and boy are they taking the rope now that one of his companies were caught with their pants down. But as Simon Jenkins at The Guardian writes, when does this become more then just reporting? When does this become a hysterical sideshow?
What began as a mid-winter invitation to enjoy a spring luncheon at the Palace in the merry month of May with the Queen and her royal consort the Duke of Edinburgh turns out to be one of the biggest international fiascos on record. What originally was to be a casual invitation to spend the day and possible stay the night at one of the royal households could have possibly been a judicial means apology for not inviting Obama to the Royal Wedding. This is as if the Queen wanted to give the young presidential couple from the states, new to the complex protocols of international affairs, a second chance to do things right.
The New Sovereign Investment Fund of Libya or of Colonel Qaddafi, there is no distinction in the money funds of Libya or Qaddafi, invested $1.3 Billion with Goldman Sachs; the bank used the funds on stock options at a variety of international banks and a collection of currency bets. Two years later, the Libyan fund had lost 98% of its value and was worth only $25.1 million.
Officials of Libya’s sovereign wealth fund were upset with Goldman Sachs and accused them of malfeasance; mainly, for making trades without authorization and misrepresenting investment deals.
This treaty should of died a long time ago:
Russia, Japan and Canada told the G8 they would not join a second round of carbon cuts under the Kyoto Protocol at United Nations talks this year and the US reiterated it would remain outside the treaty, European diplomats have said.
The future of the Kyoto Protocol has become central to efforts to negotiate reductions of carbon emissions under the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, whose annual meeting will take place in Durban, South Africa, from November 28 to December 9.
In a classic example of Socialist Realism, Obama has messed his trousers and now seeks to limit the damage by relying on the old Socialist concept of Ideynost. By definition, all Socialist literature must embody political and social themes that reflect a Progressive nature. Censors and critics will not accept material that is lacking in ideological content; especially, material that reflects negatively on the regime or material that is intended to divert or entertain.
Obama has backed the PLO in its struggle against Israel by demanding that Israel cede its occupied territories to the Palestinians and accept Palestine as a nation. Of course this represents the demands of the PLO, except for the part about cutting the throat of every Jew on the face of the earth. Obama was sly enough not to mention that demand.
After nearly half a century of riding his Blackness, Obama has the overwhelming desire to reconnect with his Irish forefathers!
Ah, the proud Kenyan and spiritual leader of the Muslim world is wearing the green and sprouting shamrocks out the back of his trousers. His name now can take on an apostrophe and become O’bama, perhaps Seamus O’reilly O’bama. He has the ability to become anyone with his ghost writers. Perhaps Ayers can now write Green Dreams of my Irishness.
Aye lads and lassies the great shape shifter has changed course, now he can be known as the most Irish of all presidents: that Black Muslim identity is wearing a little thin with America and the rest of the world. So he becomes a new O’bama, if you have no past it is much easier. Now instead of wearing grass skirts in Kenya or bowing to Middle Eastern dictators while farting on Israel, a move that hasn’t been received well, Obama visits the homeland of the White Sheep of the family and enjoys his Irish identity that he has tried to ignore his whole life.
