MAY FACES ENDLESS TROUBLES




Whenever May is in Brussels she announces, with a great smile, that she achieved another victory for Brexit. Unfortunately, so far, it turns out to be false.

At first, she makes us believe she makes the EU change its mind over the demand of £60bn divorce bill and several other points. When May refused and the EU stopped negotiation.

When she returned May announced she would pay £39bn, officially, but with so many lies it is not knowing what she really promised to pay. However, the EU started to open its doors again for further talks.

After further talks, May, again gleefully announced that she achieved to start trade negotiation and Brexit is well on its way. She also received an applause after her speech at a dinner in Brussels. It does make you more suspicious of what really went on.

It didn’t take a day that the truth came through. EU slammed on its brakes and showed its full power.

1 - They blocked further trade talks till March 2018

2 - They ban any trade deals with the rest of the world till 2021

Concluding, UK will be in the EU till 2021 and no promise of it being the final. It came after May was willing to pay £39bn, officially. Does it also mean that UK will have to pay their membership of £19bn each year plus all sorts of other fees, like paying for other countries which have not got their fees? In view of the two years extra, the EU would have their £60bn as demanded; a very clever move. The EU certainly knows how to make sure the money keeps rolling in.

It is known that the EU is the most corrupt organisation. Many years ago, the scandal broke that over £95tn are unaccounted for and the auditors refused to sign their account, tells everything. The EU supposed to be going bankrupt, despite of billions rolling in.

It is very doubtful that MPs, especial a group of Tory’s rebels will accept these new outcomes. There will be a vote on Wednesday, 17 Dec., 2017 in the House of Commons. Therefore, May could face another defeat.

The other problem May has, is to face the US and Saudi Arabia confrontation.

US president Donald Trump announced to make Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and planning to move his embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. It was the most unwise decision any leader could have made in view of the constant Israeli domineering and tormenting Palestinian people pushing them to extinction and possessing the whole land.

There was an immediate uproar and protest from Palestine and its people and hundred died already being shot dead by Israeli soldiers. Well done, clever Trump. Anyone could have foreseen that.

The tension also was increased by Saudi Arabia. They disagreed with the decision and announced to support Palestine. In other words, confronting Trump and the US, if necessary. It will also have an impact on the mighty Israelis.

Even the UN announced a resolution against Jerusalem becoming the capital of Israel. It will be interesting to see the reaction of Israel now.

But the most interesting point will be how May will deal with the situation. US and Saudi Arabia are her biggest Allies and weapon buyer.

Whichever side she moves to the other party will be lost and most probably turn hostile towards the UK.

Or will she play ostrich and trying to put her head into the sand, hopefully it will blow over again but with such an important confrontation it is hard to belief it will have an impact in future no matter how much she is trying to be diplomatic and keep out of it.
It also raises the question, will she and the Tories be able to cope with two such major issues or will they have to resign, which all people hope and Labour comes into power?

Well, as the saying goes “Time will tell”.

MAY TRAPPED BETWEEN USA AND SAUDI ARABIA Update 30 Dec, 2017


Update 30 Dec., 2017 -- Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is now in negotiation with Turkey to create a Muslim Alliance, plus other Middle East countries to back Palestine. Trump couldn't have  poked into a bigger hornets' nest.

Its high time to be acknowledge for America and stop using the Middle East as their army playground.

May certainly has got herself into the biggest trap there is. She couldn't have chosen two bigger opponents if she tried to.

She’ll have to decide between her biggest allies the USA and Saudi Arabia because Trump declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel; Saudi Arabia declared occupied East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

It is the worse scenario any leader could have found themselves in.

Whichever side she chooses she will not only lose a major arms’ dealer but also a confrontation with the other side which in today’s highly tensed political atmosphere can be very dangerous and disastrous.

Trump done the worst political decision he could have taken. How on earth could he have declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and at the same time announced to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

The action of Israel towards the Palestinian people is appalling and the world is waking up to the fact. Instead of caution Israel to stop their action Trump adds oil to the fire. He could not have done any worse to ignite the tension and make Israel feel more in their rights, which they have not.

Of course, Trump would not dare to challenge Israel and no other leader would. Israel has too much power with their widespread high-powered connections to be confronted and that is why they get away literally with murder.

However, for Trump to declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was his worst decision but most probably would not cost him his job because of the high present of powerful Jewish people in American.

But coming back to the problem PM May will face when she’ll have to decide and decide she will have to. So far, we have not heard a word about that predicament or any decision.

It is such a highly sensitive subject that her decision might set the fuse wire alight.

With Trump constantly challenging Kim-Jong-un making the situation worse with Kim-Jong-un declaring if US blockades NK it will be an act of war. He only waits for any excuse to start a nuclear war.
Now he sets the cat amongst the pigeons with declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moving his embassy there. What is the man thinking of?

Trump is another one who mislead the public by promising he’ll bring peace in his election campaign.

It seems these election candidates, today, keep promising anything to catch the voters and when voted in, do right the opposite and are all out for their pot of gold. That has to stop.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is the only one who honestly means well with the people. He is so honest, down-to-earth and has only the interest of the people at heart that it is hard to be belief he would change if elected as PM.

The way May and her zombies keep running the people and country into the ground it is unbelievable they are not forced out before it is too late. Even if May sticks to her seat with the biggest pot of clue and any trick in the world; it is a fact that she and the Tories are ruining the UK and the must be a way to get them out.

 It just isn’t fair that those few have the power to ruin the life and killing the people who voted them in. The die-hard Tory voters should be ashamed of themselves to see terrible harm their party causes. They must face it because they are responsible for 120,000 death since 2010 and it is the data of the Office of National Statistics!!!!

CITY CHANGES RULES FOR $2TRN SAUDI FLOAT





City of London will disgrace and shame itself by changing its rules purely to tempt a controversial float of Saudi Aramco state-controlled oil business.

It shows and proves to what extent the government and City bow down to oblige the wishes of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia plans to float 5 percent of Aramco’s shares either in London or New York.

The City, so far, strict rules were refusal “premium listing” unless a 25 per cent of the stock is sold.

Financial Conduct Authorities proposed a “new premium listing category for sovereign controlled companies” which would cancel the previous rule. An authority which also does not speak much of its principals

Watchdog said: “aims to enable companies which may (be) the subject of major privatisation transactions to choose the higher standards of premium listing”.

The FCA denies the intention to smoothen the way for Saudis’ float only but could not name another company.

Saudi Aramco is one of the most secretive companies in the world and a short consultation process will last till October. The float is planned for 2018 and would be worth £77billion plus assuming a few arms’ deals.

Saudi Arabia insists on a “premium listing” only; New York has no restriction. 

The float would be a huge benefit for banks, PR advisers and lawyers and the outcome of the decision does not need guessing.

WORLD STOCK MARKET CRASH


Another Global Stock Market crash is forecast with China leading the world’s stock market crash by 75 per cent. Even to the ordinary mortal it has not come as a surprise because the stock market shows almost every day a minus.

The Chinese currency crash has had already a great impact on British industry since it can not compete with Chinese low priced export. But in the case of the recent British Steel closure the PM David Cameron could have closed the cheap steel import from China like Germany, Italy and France. They saved their steel industry with it.

Experts predicted a world economic deflation and recession. It would crash the American S&P stock market by 75 per cent.

Albert Edwards from French branch Societe Generale blamed the upcoming “carnage” on American centre bank (FED) and its British and European counterparts for inflated prices to begin with,

===========================================================
PLEASE, PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS. THANK YOU
===========================================================

The act of American Quantitative Easing (QE) of printing more money has increased global assets prices which now come to a disastrous fall.

Mr Edwards said: “Investors are coming to terms with what a Chinese renminbe devaluation measure for Western market.

“It means global deflation and recession.

“The commodity bubble and the resultant US shale investment boom were al consequences of the FED’s QE.

“The illusion of prosperity is shattered as the boom now turns to bust.”

My thoughts are ‘would there be a possibility of very top financiers pulling the plug again as it was eventually revealed after the so called “Credit Crunch”?

Could it be because the Chinese became too powerful and starting to overrun American power? After all America aims for world domination and constantly dragging Britain and Europe into it but just to achieve it and at the end the captain of the ship will be American.

If America really trying to crash China and bring the whole world down at the end China’s currency have been backed by the most gold reserve where as America, Britain and Europe’s currencies are backed mostly by paper.

In view of the desperate situation why is America still playing the warlords and spent billion of pounds on weapons forcing the rest of Europe into it?

If the USA have not intervened in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria the today’s situation with IS would not have come about as our greatest threat of terrorism.

Britain introduced austerity in 2012 pretending to bring down the debts and deficit which they did not and increased it by £500billion instead.

Mr Cameron made sure he got the full backing for air strike in Syria which costs £599,999 each mission. Mr Cameron must have known of the coming financial crisis.  Why was he so determined to get involved?

Is the £28billion Welfare and Public Service cuts to finance those air strikes which does nothing else but creates more enemies for Britain?

In 2013 the MPs voted against any military intervention for which John Kerry US Secretary of State was beating the drums. In September 2014 Mr Cameron took it upon himself to go-ahead to fly RAF bombing missions under the cover of the US, despite MPs voted against it.

It was the biggest shock and surprise when the MPs voted for it because the general public were and are against it.

America with Britain and Europe in tow grew the Talibans, Al Quaeda with its more radical splinter group the IS. They delivered in 2013 missiles and Britain chemicals which can be used to produce chemical weapons. At a time when the full picture already emerged of the ruthlessness of terrorism.

America and the rest of the Western World were financially straggling t survive but keep happily getting involved in wars.

Harold Wilson was the first British Prime Minister refused to get involved in the Vietnam War and look what a life saver that was.

Why can Britain not be neutral like Switzerland? Defending its own borders and let the USA fight their wars.  Investor would come by the thousands because they feel safe.

It would be a complete different picture if Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn were in power.

Incredible news were revealed, Saudi Arabia is in a financial crisis because of the falling oil crisis. The Kingdom has a £66billlion deficit

Oil prices crashed to an 11year low but the British government never forced the energy suppliers to pass the benefit on.  Also the food prices could be lower; plus the petrol prices.

CEASE FIRE FOR SYRIA


REMEMBER there was a glimpse of hope to stop fighting in Syria. We dont hear anything any more about it

UPDATE 17 January, 2016: So far there seems no sign of it. The British Government  announced that they flew bombing raids last Sunday.

Why is it not upheld?

It supposed to start early January? Why is Mr Cameron ignoring it and bring more danger to this country? It is the man in the street who will pay the price. Mr Cameron does not seems to care.

UN Security Council voted unanimously for a cease fire in Syria. It is the best news there could have been.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said: “An UN plan for Syria is a “milestone” in the effect to end the conflict there.” 

Although agreeing with the statement but it is a contradiction to Mr Kerry previous statements and especial to his previous action.

John Kerry added: “Mr Assad had lost the ability to unite the country and demands Mr Assad immediate departure which would prolong the war.”

The West and Arab nations concluded the resolution that Mr Assad could be part of the transition but insist he must be gone at the end of it

Let us hold here and get a few facts in. The US started to supply arms and support Al-Qaeda, four year ago. Slowly one by one other western country joined in.  From Al-Qaeda sprang ISIS which grew and now so powerful that the West and Russia see no alternative but to destroy them. All the time the West were supplying them with weapons through the back door and fighting in the front. 

Double dealing never worked out in the long run and it has not in this case.

It was planned that 34 countries, including the UK, establish an army and is under the command of Saudi Arabia to defeat ISIS.  Whether Russia and China is part of it is not clear. It is also not clear whether that plan provoked the UN to call for a Security Council meeting because if the West and Arab countries join the army they would be up against Russia and Chine.  Russia and China support Mr Assad.

This situation could develop into another World War very quickly because there are too many countries involved again Russia and China.

Coming back to the UN Security Council resolution it was also decided Syria would have, that they called, a “democratic” election.  US have hardly a democratic action when they keep attacking other country with no other reason but dominate them but they keep waving the flag about democracy.

As Syrian UN ambassador Bashar Jaafan already pointed out: “There is a glaring contradiction between outside countries talking about letting Syria decide their future yet also insisting on replacing Mr Assad.”

UN Security Council Resolution No 2254

n   Calls for ceasefire and formal talks or a political transition to start in early January.

n    Groups seen as “terrorists” included IS and al-Nusra Front, are excluded.

n    “Offensive and defensive actions” against such groups – a reference to air strikes by US –led coalition and Russia – to continue.

n   UN chief Ban Ki-Moon to report by 18 January, 2016, on how to monitored ceasefire.
n   “Credible, inclusive and non-sectarian government” to be established within six months.
n   Political transition should be Syria-led.

Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said: “It would be possible to reach an agreement on a unity government for Syria within six month.

The resolution will not effect the bombing by Russia, France and US against IS,

So far 250,000 people had been killed in the civil war and millions displaced.

However, there is a disagreement already which armed group should be labelled as terrorists and therefore to be bombed.

As wonderful the news of a cease file sounds on the surface but if you read in between the lines there is still the insistence to remove Mr Assad which was the reason of starting the civil war supported by the West.

Therefore the resolution does not look as solid as it is made out to be but it is a great step forward and hopefully it holds and continues to bring everlasting peace.

Apart from destroying the IS; the US and West should keep out of Syria’s affairs.
US, UK and the West should learn from the recent wars which did not solve anything but caused more troubles.

In Afghanistan the so hard fought Helmsman district was freed from Talibans is now run over again and in Talibans’ hands. How must those solders feel like about the sacrifices of their killed and maimed comrades, some for life?

In Iraq there was no IS until the war was fought there and now it is a training ground for them. From there they lS spread into Syria.

Therefore America should stop to be so self righteous and play the policeman of the world.  So far they ruined Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Libya and Syria under the great cover “democracy” but in reality keeping their weapon industry going.

PARIS ATTACKS AND ITS AFTERMATH - Update 23 JANUARY, 2016

 4000 wounded, 229 still in hospital and 57 in intensive care.
UPDATE: 23 January, 2016
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls spoke at the  World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland.

He criticised Brussels very heavily that they did and do nothing to protect its citizen even after the Paris attack and the sexual assaults and gang rapes in Germany. nothing was done.

The Schenken agreement of free movement within Europe was ideal but turned out that the wrong people take advantage of. 

However, Brussels should protect the European border but nothing was done. Due the many rules imposed on other European countries , some absolutely ridiculous and restrictive, and now failing to protect its citizen the believe in a United Europe for the better of it has faded. The sooner Britain and other countries get out the better.

UPDATE  16 Nov., 2015
Mr Hollande, the president, promised that he will wipe out ISIS. 

Russia confirms that the airliner which was brought down in the Sinai desert was blown up in mid-air and the debris show foreign parts of explosives. The final result will also have some response from Russia.

The attack on Paris and its people is condemnable and shocking. At least 129 people died , 400 wounded, 229 still in hospital and 57 in intensive care.. The severely injured are still on the critical list and some may still die or maimed for life.

================================================
PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS. THANK YOU
================================================

The police already arrested several people and know the names of the attackers as well the suspected organiser who is still at large. The police done a great job to come up with results like this so quickly.

The next stage is how to deal with the ISIS who admitted responsibility.

US and France already planning further bombing on ISIS’s strongholds. Although everybody’s first reaction would be to bomb them out of existence. It is only naturally when you see or read about the terrible carnage but we have to sit down and calm down to look at the whole picture.

The fact is that they are widespread and a very powerful, ruthless terrorists organisation. Therefore, to start bombing their stronghold in Syria does not give the result when they are in Iraq as well as in many other countries, maybe even under different names. It only increases their determination to add more attacks. Already they drew up a plan of several other attacks and warned the world not to bomb them.

The other side of the coin is if the USA and the West stopped bombing they will spread even quicker.  Since lives do not count with them something has to be done to stop them. We are back to the same question “But What?”

The USA and its Allies are determined to get Mr Assad out. But Why? An old propaganda headline has pop-up again because he dropped a chemical bomb on its people.

Since propagandas are never true this too lacks of facts. The chemical bomb was dropped in 2013. Therefore the West uses it as an excuse to remove Mr Assad. The civil war is raging since 2011, supported by the Americans. The UN sent International Inspectors to examine the evidence in Syria but the report was never published.  It always raises suspicion that the truth is on the other side.  There were also rumours circulating that the CIA or Mossad, the secret service of Israel, was responsible.

Whatsoever or whosoever dropped the chemical bomb was certainly trying to speed up military action which was seriously thought about it.  Especially John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, was pushing it with all his might until the Russians took away the chemical stockpile from Mr Assay, with his permission.

It also was reported that Saudi Arabia supplies the ISIS with weapons. Soudi Arabia has one of the worst Human Rights record but demands Mr Assad to be removed because of his treatment of his people.  

There are a lot of double dealings and the ISIS is using it. 2012/13 USA supplied the ‘moderate rebels’ with weapons and missiles which were expected and now confirmed that they were passed on to ISIS. Surely the USA is that much up-to-date that there is no ‘moderate rebels’. Now again, John Kerry, managed to receive, approved by the Congress, $500million to support the ‘moderate rebels’. So what is the USA playing at?

The UK, during the same time, supplied chemicals to Syria which enabled them to produce chemical weapons.  A recent report stated that ISIS has 20 tones of mustard gas.

That is the murky world of politics and we, the people, who will suffer on the hands of ISIS have no say in the governments’ dealings.

RUSSIA STARTED AIR STRIKES IN SYRIA-- UPDATE 1 Oct., 2015



UPDATE: 1 October, 2015 --
US is willing to talk to Russians as soon as possible to avoid clashes of their air strikes.

Why could it not be done at the UN meeting only a few days ago?  

Their aim is to hit rebel-controlled areas as of Homs and Hama provinces in Syria. Russia informed the US one hours before the military operation began.

An US defence official said: “A Russian official in Baghdad this morning informed US embassy personnel that Russian military aircrafts begin flying anti-Isil mission today over Syria. He further requests that US aircraft avoid Syrian airspace during these missions.”

This action seems to be the result that Russia does not think there will be a diplomatic resolution, either from the UN Security Council or the Western allies.

Russia reported that SUKHOI-Su-24 warplanes were involved and operated out of an airbase near Latakia.

It is not quite clear what Russia targeted. According to US official they are not striking any IS-territory. However, the information should not be treated as gospel truth because it could be propaganda. The Russian statement is their planes to support Syria government forces and is striking against the multiple enemies of the Assad’s regime. They revealed further that the air force had targeted IS military equipment, 
communication facilities, arms depots, ammunition and fuel supplies.

If that is the case it is a serious escalation of the conflict and a result of the US State Secretary John Kerry.

The multiple enemies, as quoted by the Russian, are US, UK and West’s Arab or Turkey.

According to the BBC, the Russian’s upper house of their parliament granted President Putin permission to deploy the Russian air force in Syria.

The Syrian opposition reported that the Russian planes bombed Zafaraneh, Rastan, Talbiseh, Makarmia and Ghanto. So far 36 people were killed including children. They emphasized that none of the areas have been control by the IS.

Mr Putin said in a TV interview: “The air strikes were targeting at Islamic militants and Russian citizens – who were taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq.

He added further: “If they (militants) succeed in Syria, they will return to their home country, and they will come to Russia, too.” Mr Putin emphasizes “Russia will not send ground troops to Syria, and that its role in Syria’s army operation will be limited. We certainly are not to plunge head-on into this conflict. We will support the Syrian army purely in a legitimate fight with terrorist groups.”

The net seems to be closing just like before the First World Was and the Second when it started one country and another and another got involved.

Surely, the big powers US, UK, France and Russia could solve the problem round the negotiating table. As the saying goes “Where there is a will, there is a way.”

Russia saved the world last year, in the last minute, from a total war and most probably from a chemical war.  The US and UK could have left it at that but no they had to start air strikes. The IS would have been defeated within the Middle East countries. The West would not have to be involved. Now they pushed it again to the limit and Russia saw no other way but to support Assad’s regime by military actions.

At the moment there are Iran, Russia, Lebanon’s Hezbollah supporting Alawite-led government, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar opposing US, UK and France.  Israel flying air strikes. Details are not known.

There are far too many involved already and threaten the world peace.

Since PM David Cameron is so eager to play the knight in shining armour does he not realise this is not Afghanistan or Iraq or the Falklands?  There are far too many big armies backing Syria’s arm. It is not good to listen to the US because they will far away from the shot.  They can happily light the fuse but when it comes to the big bang it is us who sit in the firing line again.

The US always roping in the UK but where was the US when the IRA kept murdering people in the UK? They even supported the IRA financially. Harold Wilson, Labour, was the only Prime Minister who said no to the US getting involve in the Vietnam war.

David Cameron even went ahead with air strikes in spite of the majority of MPs voted against it.
