Massive resources are being deployed to attack UK dissenter. Craig Murray has been the lone voice of reason in the Skripal poison case. That's why they try to silence him. Whatever Putin's trolls may or may not achieve, this is far bigger.

Two weeks of character assassination have not silenced him. Now, they are deploying the big guns. Murray is the Emil Zola of the 21st century, j'accuse.

Massive Attack on This Blog

We are experiencing a Denial of Service Attack on a massive scale. Our extremely experienced tech team – who are serious professionals who come from major IT players – have never defended an attack this big on which someone is spending real resources. The attack is not over, but our various levels of defence and diversion are currently holding.

The attack works simply by getting many tens of thousands of bots from around the world to interrogate the site with queries into its search facility, thus crashing it. It is a type of attack we come under routinely, but never on anything like this kind of scale. This is a proper effort to get the blog off air.

UK/US imperial reflexes have not changed over the centuries. You can only solve a problem by military force. That is not the European way, the European way is to solve a problem by mediation.

[Nonsense]

oil price are affecting the US economy in some way but not too much definitely not like in Russia

http://www.artberman.com/wp-content/upl ... 15_150.jpg

The sanctions are hurting the Russian economy only idiots think they dont

and Putin have put Russia in a loop of unending sanctions

only thing that save Russian economy from a complete collapse is the European dependence on its gas

NONSENSE-

For someone who says that he/she speaks Russian, your mind-set,even for someone who spits invective against that country,as an ex-pat, does not express yourself as 'Russian' in the way that I understand them.


The oil price does affect America more than Russia, it's just that oil is traded in $'s, which gives the $ undeserved status, one that the American Federal Reserve , IMHO, takes an immoral advantage of, by printing $'s at an ever increasing scale, designed intentionally, to pay FOREIGN investors, like CHINA, with the resulting DEBASED $ value.

Because of the scale of it's debased currency, which fools only certain people, like Americans(who are NOT financially as savvy you would like to believe) ,were it to collapse(rightly), America would have a currency whose value on the financial markets would not be worth the paper it's printed on.

The same is true of the UK, where asset 'values' keep increasing pro rata to the amount of increasing debts(both 'public' & 'private')that are only paid for with more & more debt.

What you possibly don't like, is that Mr PUTIN has 'BALLS' & 'BRAINS', he has been GOOD for RUSSIA & he is no one's fool, he has placed his country in the path of American hegemony.

America will NOT F*** with Mr PUTIN,there is a 'price' to pay for such stupidity & only the stupid would tempt fate.

The TORIES are a bunch of 'shirt-lifters' on the political state, if you remember the visit to GERMANY by President OBAMA, where he delivered a 'speech' urging Europe to boost it's defence spending in the wake of the UKRANIAN troubles.

No sooner had OBAMA returned to America, than FALLON & the his patsy in number 11 Downing Street, 'discovered' some £50 BILLION, in which to spend on TWO aircraft carriers, if that's not dancing to the American tune then I don't know what is & that's money spent from increasing the national debt.

Definitely! It's a fact that Britain was less anti White racist before she joined the EU. The overtly "anti racist" propaganda (ephomism for Islamophilia), which the main victims were white working class girls, started only with joining the EU, and its standarization in the media, academy and all walk of life. There are some good studies that follow the process and what the EU, mainly after the 1973 oil embargo required from its member states.

Britain is anti-white racist? and it's the EU's fault?

Where do you get this stuff from? Wherever you get it, it makes David Icke seem normal.

[Heisenberg]

David Icke is a gentleman and a scholar, @Seeker8. Leave him out of this. Unless... you're... one of them.

But I must admit I have never come across "anti-white racism" in the UK.

[Seeker8]

Apologies to Icke, he really didn't deserve that comparison.

China isn't a rising imperialist power. Until they become one (which I don't believe they are on a path to doing) it is merely the fantasies of hateful and spiteful individuals to suggest otherwise.

I have never heard a Chinese person express a viewpoint that was other than anti-war, accompanied by a belief that China will never commit an aggressive invasion of another country. And no, Taiwan does not count--although it is by no means a high probability that China will one day invade Taiwan, but it is rather a relative probability that they could, provided certain circumstances. This is though a matter which is of a different category to say China launching a full-scale invasion of the Philippines, or of Kenya, or some such thing. One mustn't compare China to the US or Europe like that.

You seem to identify imperialism with modern Western imperialism completely, however, even Western imperialism is changing if we count the EU (Fourth Reich) as such. China, like the EU, avoids direct military conflict and uses soft tools to achieve its imperialistic goals. However, what is imperialism? The Romans conquered the world they knew, built roads and secured trade routes, established a common currency, and created Pax Romana. It wasn't a fairy tale, but they're still believed to have been a great people. Most empires do the same mostly.

[layman]

People remember the Romans fondly mostly due to time. It is literally ancient history.

They were are brutal as brutal can be . It is estimated they genocided 50 percent of Gaul and thought nothing of eliminating entire cities. They tried this too in Scotland as a solution to the Picts but geography is a bitch.

There is also the issue of how you assimilate/colonise. Both the Russians and Americans expanded hugely from their original size but fully integrated the populations or just wiped them out. They are therefore perceived as less imperial than France or the uk which ruled overseas territory and then lost them to tell the tale.

Who you call the "left" is everyone except these idiot alt right people you keep quoting. So no, everyone else isn't OK with kids being abused by gangs of men who are Muslim. That's fucking stupid.

The people you quote from don't ever talk about the kids being abused by white people (or non-Muslims), of which there are just as many. This is proof they don't actually give a shit about the kids being abused but just hate Muslims.

People remember the Romans fondly because the Dark Ages followed them. Empires are hated by many, but they are also missed by many after they've fallen. The Romans were brutal, however, in the case of gauls we have to trust Caesar's works as the only written source and he may have exaggerated his "glory".

It wasn't a fairy tale, but they're still believed to have been a great people. Most empires do the same mostly.

In fact, there is a specific internal debate within China--which you can read about in Chinese news publications for example--regarding whether Chinese so-called 'soft-power initiatives' (like the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative) are indeed imperialistic in nature.

The implications of such introspective evaluating is indicative of the desire to avoid venturing down the imperialist path.

China still abides by a firmly Marxist ideology. Marxism is strongly rooted in ant-imperialism (Lenin literally 'wrote the book' on this--by the way, it's a good book and concise too; yall oughta read it. The title is Imperialism: the Highest Form of Capitalism).

Contrary to your admonition, if we are to read your own words in their absolutely literal sense, you have it all backwards. Specifically, you are identifying foreign engagement with European-style imperialism.

[foxdemon]

That’s right, Lord Haw Haw. How could China possibly be an imperialist power? That would mean either it had a strong central ruler and/or imposed it’s dominance over a region like Tibet or SE Asia or East Africa.....wait!

I have never heard a Chinese person express a viewpoint that was other than anti-war, accompanied by a belief that China will never commit an aggressive invasion of another country.

No, never.

And no, Taiwan does not count--although it is by no means a high probability that China will one day invade Taiwan, but it is rather a relative probability that they could, provided certain circumstances.

Taiwan just doesn’t count, does it? Even though it was only under Qing rule for a few decades in the 19th century and thus representing a weak claim by Beijing, that doesn’t count either. How could anyone even imagine the Taiwanese people having the right of self determination however much they might want it. Imperial China’s will must come first. Every Xi Jinping worshiping toady knows that.

The same is true of Tibet, despite being independent most of the first half of the 20th century, just like Mongolia. But wait! Mongolia is still independent of imperial rule. Surely it is time that Beijing did something about that wayward province, right Lord Haw Haw?

This is though a matter which is of a different category to say China launching a full-scale invasion of the Philippines, or of Kenya, or some such thing. One mustn't compare China to the US or Europe like that.

Of course. How could Bejing’s support of Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge possibly be equated with anything America or Europe has been involved in?

Yes, remembered fondly they are; so much so that their State Religion became, in the parlance of Historians, the 'glue which held European society together' in later eras.

You could perhaps compare Roman Catholicism in Europe in this sense to Confucianism in China in some important respects (just don't take the comparison too far. The latter, while banal enough in its own ways regarding everyday human society, is pretty lacking in the way of ritualized superstition; nor was it the basis of blood-and-guts expansionism in the service of forcible conversion, among many other things, including many which are somewhat less extravagant in their outward appearance).

In case you missed it, one of the points of the above paragraph has to do with the ideological influence which Rome continued (and still continues) to exert through the means of religion (and which Chinese ancient philosophy--for Confucianism is not a religion--also does in Asia).

To use a quote from the musical sphere,

Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
I held my tongue as she told me, son
Fear is the heart of love, so I never went back

China still abides by a firmly Marxist ideology. Marxism is strongly rooted in ant-imperialism

Medieval Europe abided by a firmly Christian ideology, but it didn't prevent them from doing anything un-Christian. From a Marxist-Leninist point of view China doesn't have a choice and it has to go through an imperialistic phase as part of their capitalist development anyway, and that's exactly what happens.

That was about the weakest of counter-arguments I have seen in some time. You even put layman to shame with that, as far as weak arguments are concerned.
