Trying to make sense of western words and actions

Having started the day listening to news on RT I am now trying to make sense of the Orwellian world of the words and actions of the Powers-that-be in the West.

First, long before the authorities investigating the crash have got enough evidence to say the Americans have all the evidence they need (based on a "feeling") to say this was a terrorist cat.

This was following on from the same conclusion from the British who then go on to cancel all flights in and out of Sharm el-Sheikh creating a crisis for thousands of Bits now left stranded.

Now there is chaos and plans to rescue people from a crisis that was created by the authories in the first place.

Now what is the response of the Brits to this crisis of their own making? It would be "morally indefensible" says the Tory minister not to go and bomb the shit out of Syria in an action that is totally illegal.

Let this article from Off-Guardian bring a little clarity to what is otherwise insane and incomprehensible.

Russian plane crash shows US/UK losing their grip along with their terrorist narrative

Off-Guardian,

7 November, 2015

So, it’s official. The UK/US are losing their grip along with their terrorist narrative. Their straw-grasping and agenda-hyping has reached critical mass preceding meltdown. It’s anyone’s guess what new self-inflcted humiliations lie ahead, or how close to WW3 they take us all simply to preserve their sense of entitlement.

A Russian plane flying from Sharm el Sheikh to St Petersburg goes down in Egypt on Saturday. Russia says it doesn’t know yet what caused the crash and launches an investigation. But the US and UK see a chance to grab back the initiative they lost when Putin began bombing ISIS for real, and not merely pretending to in the approved western fashion.

So they decided it was a bomb! There’s no evidence yet, of course, but never mind about that. David Cameron is almost definitely sure, and Obama thinks so too. Because unnamed investigators say so and there were some sort of intercepted phone calls which nearly-definitely-almost-maybe proves it was an ISIS bomb. Though of coursethey can’t share any of this valuable info with Russia or with anyone else. We all just have to take their word for it.

So, of course, naturally, on Wednesday the UK government decides to ban all commercial flights to and from Sharm el Sheikh.

They then – if you can possibly believe this – decide to send “rescue flights” in to pick up the passengers they themselves just stranded.

The media responds dutifully with live reports of “chaos” and “confusions”, “panic” and fear, without mentioning the entire thing has been artificially generated to achieve exactly this response.

Oh and right on cue one-time Defence Secretary, Mike Fallon tells the BBC the fact a Russian plane has crashed in Egypt makes it “morally indefensible” for Britain not to send troops to Syria.

So, if you’re not feeling shocked and bewildered at the terrible “chaos” of people waiting patiently in Sharm el Sheikh airport for the flights Cameron cancelled for no reason, and if you’re not absolutely convinced war in Syria is the only answer, then chalk it up to another spectacular propaganda failure from a Ministry of Truth that seems to have completely lost touch with basic realities about message and plausibili

I heard this on RT but actually had to search to find this little gem from Michael Fallon - not surprisingly it wasn't at the top of the headlines of the usual suspects - the BBC and the Guardian.

Michael Fallon: 'Morally indefensible' not to bomb IS in Syria

It is "morally indefensible" for Britain to rely on other countries to tackle the so-called Islamic State in Syria, Michael Fallon has said.

The defence secretary told BBC News he was appealing to MPs to reconsider the case for airstrikes.

It comes after a Russian passenger plane crashed in Egypt's Sinai desert last Saturday, which the UK government suspects was caused by a bomb.

In 2013, MPs rejected possible UK military action in Syria.

The vote two years ago was on potential airstrikes against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, amid reports he had used chemical weapons, rather than militants from Islamic State (IS or ISIL).

The government is now making the case for Islamic State to be targeted, given its links to attacks on Western targets around the world, including the killing of 30 British holidaymakers in Tunisia in June

Contrast this nonsense with a calmer and more measured response from the Russians who have now grounded flights between Egypt and Russia.

And here is a little of the crisis manufactured by the British authorities

Chaos at Sharm el-Sheikh airport amid confusion over 'rescue flights'

And then we have two cases that are absolutely, by any rational standards, insane.

A Danish woman goes to fight for what should be regarded as the 'good guys' (the women fighters of Kurdistan) fighting ISIS.

The 22-year-old woman dropped out of college and traveled to Iraq to join Kurdish forces confronting the terrorist group. But when she came back to Denmark to have a break from the fighting she had her passport seized and was banned from travelling for a year.

Meanwhile, Down-Under,  a New Zealander who went on a peace mission to Syria is being deported back here form Australia.

Warren Marriner said he went to Syria as part of an International Tour of Peace organised by the Social Justice Network of Sydney, which aims to prevent the radicalisation of young Muslims.

A registered nurse, who is formerly from Taranaki but has lived in Perth for 11 years, Mr Marriner said he travelled to Syria to prove that it was safe to visit the country and see for himself what was going on.

His group, which was led by the Muslim community leader and anti-radicalisation campaigner Jamal Daoud, visited areas that the Syrian army and its allies had liberated from rebel movements such as Islamic State.

"I went to the Yarmouk Palestinian camp that was heavily, heavily attacked by Islamic State and Daesh. The spirit of the people ... they've got a spring in their step, they seem to be very happy now. There seems to be a brighter future you know."

Mr Marriner said life in Syria was still tough because sanctions meant it could not get the medical supplies it required.

Speaking from the Perth Immigration Detention Centre this morning, Mr Marriner said he told Australian authorities he was planning to visit Syria before he left and only fell foul of immigration officials when he returned to Perth.

He said he forgot to declare 30-year-old minor convictions in New Zealand and that was the official reason for his deportation.

The 49-year-old was, however, convinced it was because of where he had travelled to.

"It's because I went to Syria. I mean, I had no problem about hiding such things. I said look, excuse me, it was just a slip of the mind, you know, it was 30 years ago and a lot of other things have happened in life.

"And yeah, they decided to pick up on that now so it's definitely political, it's definitely political."

The Australian and New Zealand governments advise against all travel to Syria and it is illegal for Australian citizens, including dual citizens, to provide any kind of support to any armed group in Syria.

It is also an offence under Australian law for Australians to enter or remain in the Syrian province of al Raqqa, which has been declared an area where a listed terrorist organisation is engaging in a hostile activity.

Mr Marriner is being held at the Perth Immigration Detention Centre pending his return to New Zealand, which is expected to be tomorrow
