Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has yet to say anything about Monday’s heinous, nihilistic suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. According to current reporting, the attack has been claimed by ISIS and was carried out by a 22-year-old man born in Manchester to Libyan refugees. But when Blair does speak, we can be certain he won’t mention one key fact: Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq led by the U.S. and U.K., he was forcefully and repeatedly warned by Britain’s intelligence services that it would lead to exactly this type of terrorist attack — and he concealed these warnings from the British people, instead claiming the war would reduce the risk of terrorism. We know this because of the Chilcot Report, the seven-year-long British investigation of the Iraq War released in 2016. The report declassifies numerous internal government documents that illustrate the yawning chasm between what Blair was being told in private and hi

Leaked phonecall reveals all The Tory-run Government has done nothing but dig the NHS deeper and deeper into the ground over the course of the last seven years, and a recently leaked meeting between two conservative MP’s confirms the final nail in the coffin for the Nation’s beloved health service. Budget cut upon budget cut has resulted in an almost unrecognizable National Health Service and, through no fault of the fantastic, dedicated Nurses and Doctors who work hundreds of unpaid hours just to keep the doors open, the NHS has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently. Staff across the country are under constant pressure to cope with both the increase of patients and the decrease of available beds, which has left them in an impossible predicament. Back in 2015 the Conservatives were forced to admit that their pledge to secure the NHS’s budget was nothing more than a lie, and that funding had in fact been cut by a whopping 8% (A numb

Following the vote last week by the Federal Communication Commission to unwind the net neutrality rules enacted during the Obama administration, House Republican lawmakers received an email from GOP leadership on how to defend the decision. The email was shared with The Intercept and the Center for Media and Democracy. Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers must treat all web traffic in the same way. If the FCC eventually undoes the Obama-era regulations in their entirety, an ISP like Comcast could demand that websites pay it fees in order not to slow or block them. Large companies like Facebook would easily be able to afford such charges, but smaller companies might not, creating an uneven playing field. “ Want more information on the net neutrality discussion? ” wrote Washington state Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, chair of the House Republican Conference. “ Here is a nifty toolkit with news resources, myth vs reality information, what

The number of civilians killed in air strikes by the US-led coalition in Syria over the past month was the highest monthly toll since it began its campaign against the Islamic State (IS) group in 2014, a monitoring organization said on Tuesday. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that at least 225 civilians including 44 children and 36 women had been killed in the month between 23 April and 23 May. At least 122 IS militants and fighters loyal to the Syrian government were also killed, the Observatory said. “ The past month of operations is the highest civilian toll since the coalition began bombing Syria, ” Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told the AFP news agency. “ There has been a very big escalation. ” The figure appears to suggest that coalition air strikes in Syria are now causing more casualties than air attacks on rebel-held territory by Syrian government forces. The Observatory said on Saturday that 146 civilians had

Αρχικά το project, που ήταν μια από τις προεκλογικές υποσχέσεις της νέας δημάρχου, θα αφορά στις συνοικίες του ποταμού Besos που έχουν υποβαθμιστεί αρκετά, και ενδεχομένως μετά το 2018 να επεκταθεί και στην υπόλοιπη πόλη. Την ίδια ώρα η Κεντρική Τράπεζα της Ισπανίας προειδοποιεί την δήμαρχο και ακτιβίστρια να μην προχωρήσει το συγκεκριμένο πρόγραμμα, χαρακτηρίζοντάς το "ανεπιθύμητο" και "αδύνατο" . Ωστόσο, αξίζει να θυμίσουμε πως ανάλογες ενέργειες έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί με επιτυχία στη Χιρόνα, στο Μπιλμπάο,

Venezuela represents everything that the U.S. opposes in the region: socialism, anti-imperialism, economic independence via energy exports and a viable ally for China, Russia, Iran and other countries that oppose the hegemonic designs of Washington. by Eric Draitser Part 4 - The Sino-Venezuelan partnership For decades, corporations in the U.S. saw Venezuela as little more than an American possession, an oil colony whose dependence on U.S. exports made it little different from a true colony in the traditional sense of the word. However, with the ascendance of Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution, Venezuela ceased to be a dependent client of the U.S., and instead became a political adversary. One key aspect of Venezuelan economic relations with other countries that has undoubtedly rubbed strategic planners the wrong way has been its ongoing partnership with China. Under Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela has signed countless deals with Beijing, many of

globinfo freexchange As we grow up and learn more things, we understand that reality in various issues is different of what we thought. The more we explore, gain experience, the more we understand that we live in a type of Matrix. Many facts considered random eventually turn out to be there because of specific actions by certain people, groups, governments, etc. G. Edward Griffin, editor of NeedToKnow.news and author of the seminal book on the Federal Reserve, The Creature From Jekyll Island , had a quite interesting idea called RED PILL Expo. Griffin borrowed the idea from the famous sci-fi movie The Matrix , in which the central hero is choosing to take the red pill in order to discover the reality rather than take the blue pill and continue to live in a false world. As he told to James Corbett: Wouldn't be a great idea if we could just bring all of these red pill takers together and we could swap stories and say 'well, let me tell you about what

Η χούντα του ευρώ σφίγγει τον κλοιό γύρω από την Ευρώπη Στις Βρυξέλλες καταστρώνονται σχέδια για υιοθέτηση του ευρώ από όλες τις χώρες της Ε.Ε. μέχρι το 2025, σύμφωνα με έγγραφα που έχει στην κατοχή της Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, που περιγράφουν συζητήσεις μεταξύ αξιωματούχων της Ένωσης που συναντήθηκαν για να προετοιμάσουν σχετική συνεδρίαση της Κομισιόν, η οποία αναμένεται να γίνει στις 31 Μαΐου. Η ιδέα είναι να «απλωθεί» στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο ο δημοσιονομικός έλεγχος της δημοσιονομικής πολιτικής της ευρωζώνης σε αντίθεση με αυτό που γίνεται σήμερα, το γεγονός δηλαδή ότι οι υπουργοί Οικονομικών λαμβάνουν αποφάσεις πίσω από κλειστές πόρτες. Μόλις η διαρροή είδε το φως της δημοσιότητας, ο Βάλντις Ντομπρόβσκις αντέδρασε υποστηρίζοντας ότι ο αληθινός σκοπός του σχεδίου είναι να ολοκληρωθεί η συνεργασία στη ζώνη του ευρώ και όχι να υποχρεωθούν να υιοθετήσουν το ευρώ όσες χώρες της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης έχουν δικό τους νόμισμα. « Φυσικά και ενθαρρύν

This is the worst yet Has there been a more disgusting spectacle during the four months of this presidency than the sight of Donald Trump slobbering all over the barbarous Saudi monarch and his murderous family of petty princelings? It’s enough to make any normal American retch, especially when one remembers what Trump said about them during the election: “ Saudi Arabia and many of the countries that gave vast amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation want women as slaves and to kill gays. Hillary must return all money from such countries! ” And then there was this tweet: “ Tell Saudi Arabia and others that we want (demand!) free oil for the next ten years or we will not protect their private Boeing 747s. Pay up! ” Now Trump’s son in law, Jared Kushner, is calling up Lockheed-Martin to get a discount for the Saudis, personally brokering the biggest arms deal in US history. What a difference a presidency makes! The old Trump told us that
