the throne of blood .....

the throne of blood .....

‘Obviously, our weird little emperor is incapable of moral reflection, thus inviting us to reflect morally upon him as he has gone about his systematic wrecking of our common empire, which, after 1945, should have come into its own but thanks to Truman et al, it stayed forever at war and now but, Hark! What is the Times chorus singing now?

Can it be a new weekend edition? Without troubling news?

Or has W. finally snapped our military machine for fun if not for global peace? On a high moral ground Romulus the Great disowned his empire. W. the miniscule, driven by ignorance and greed like his cronies, leaves us defenceless and at sea in a terrorized world of prisons, phoney trials, renditions, executions without due process of law, while leaving in the middle east a vast charnel house which he likes to call a “fledgling democracy”.’

the war on embarrassment .....

‘A man accused of blowing up an airliner and killing 73 people, who has already admitted to bombing hotels with fatal consequences and who has a conviction for a failed assassination attempt on a head of state, was freed on a technicality in a Texas court this week, and can look forward to a quiet retirement in Florida.

In London a man accused of hacking into the computer system of the Pentagon and Nasa is waiting to see if the House of Lords will hear his appeal against extradition to the US to face a trial in which one prosecutor has already indicated he should "fry".

Blowing up an airliner is clearly regarded as less serious than causing major embarrassment to the defence establishment.’
