Celtic have only one game before they meet Benfica in the Champions League, away to St Johnstone on Saturday. The Perth team are bottom of the SPL without a win so far this season, so will not present a significant challenge, but Celtic could do with a sterner test.
Lassad Noiuoiu, Efe Ambrose and Miku Fedor each need to be stretched before they will be ready for Champions League football. Even if they get a full 90 minutes on Saturday, so I can’t see either starting against Benfica a week on Wednesday, unless they possess uncommon natural fitness, or our injury crisis steps up a level.

Football is the new circus. Something the Romans always ensured the masses had.
Just agreeing with your point really.
I also think the situation in Afghanistan gives control of the opium to those in control of the country, as well as the pipeline you mentioned.

Pardon my ignorance but what system do you see being installed?
I fast forwarded to 2.22 in your video but still couldn’t make the connection to the Muslim brotherhood??

It doesn’t make sense why the wealthier people over in the poorer countries are being encouraged to buy Gold and other precious metals, I think that is a red herring.

I think the Middle Class is being destroyed everywhere and to me that is very sad.
The UK has a very poor class system that has most of the High and Upper Middle Class dominating the whole system.
America, before it was taken over by the bankers, did offer the opportunity to so many to get into that Middle Class of life.
From 2.22 you hear the commentator talking about America and that was not what Bush was talking about. Bush was talking about taking Democracy to the ME. The Arab Spring.
Here is a recent article, there are many more about UK and American agencies.

Stephanie “Two ‘Eds” Flanders….
Dontcha Just Love Her…………….?
You Would Never Have Guessed That She Was The Sprog Of The ’50s Comedic Duo….’Flanders & Swan’….
~~~~~~~~~~~
COME BACK,MARX,ALL IS FORGIVEN….
LUV STEPH…!
———————————————
What is it about Marx that Stephanie
Flanders finds so appealing? Marx told
us that ‘What the Communists might
be reproached with, is that they desire
to introduce an openly legalized
community of women.’ …. that is, a
system where one person can have
multiple partners in replacement of
marriage. Hmmm.
Stephanie Flanders, the girl who just
keeps on giving. I could almost retire
from writing about BBC Bias if Flanders
jumped ship and openly went to work
for the Labour Party.
Stephanie has dreamt up another
scheme to advance the cause and is
presenting ‘Masters of Money’ on BBC2
(Mon 17 Sept)…until then you will have
to make do with her trail blazing write
up in the Times today (No link as £).
As you may have guessed it’s entitled
‘Come back Marx, all is forgiven.’
Now all those millions of people who
have been slaughtered by the socialists
in the great leap forward in the name of
Progress may take issue with that.
She has chosen three
‘Masters’….Keynes, Hayek and Marx.
No Adam Smith…one of the most
influential economic thinkers of our
time…but then probably because,
although capitalist friendly she couldn’t
find anything to discredit him.
Keynes is of the Left, Marx, well you
know about Marx. Hayek is to the
Right…but why choose him not Smith?
Could it be that he was one of
Thatcher’s favourite economists…..it
also allows her to connect him to the
‘bad’ US Republican Party via Ron
Paul…and the Tea Party….all dog
whistles for the Left. Something else
though, something more sinister?
Hayek was Austrian and contributed to
the Austrian School of economic
thought….Flanders keeps mentioning
‘Austrian’ rather than ‘Hayek’……finally
she makes the connection you are
meant to make obvious saying ‘In an
environment where the usual policy
tools don’t seem to be working, you
can also understand why some
would be turning to Austrians such
as Hayek for a different kind of
answer.’
What is odd about that and her
constant thread through the piece?
Hitler was Austrian, and of course
labelled ‘Right Wing’, he was the
‘different kind of answer’ in the 30′s to
economic disasters.
Is Flanders trying to associate ‘Right
Wing’ economic policies with Hitler? We
know that the Left are constantly
alerting the world to the ‘fact’ that the
European economic problems are
‘enabling’ the Far Right….Is Flanders
saying that if we continue down the
road of Austerity we will get Austrians
goose stepping down the Mall?
Whilst she subtly derides Hayek and
tries to damn him by association she
bigs up Keynes saying even the
Governor of the Bank of England has
now ‘got’ his theories….she goes on of
course to write glowingly of Marx.
Marx did indeed sum up the essential
nature of Capitalism…its inherent flaw
in that it grows and grows and then
collapses spectacularly…..however
that’s just as in Nature and the cycle of
life…food plentiful and animals
overbreed until they eat everything
and their population collapses.
The thing is…there is always a
recovery…because it is
natural….capitalism will always recover
because it is in human nature to
trade….the BBC should love
Capitalism…it is organic…..it is not a
‘system’, it is not an ideology or
something written down in a little Red
Book or Manifesto…it is what happens
naturally in society where people
congregate and have needs and
desires.
Communists wish to crush the ‘Human’
and replace it with an ideological
‘machine’ which churns out tractors
and tanks and labels everyone as mere
numbers.
Capitalism is in fact the only true
Communism…who pays for the NHS,
the welfare system, the roads, the
police, the fire service, the schools, to
empty your bins, to light the streets?
Capitalism does. Capitalism brings
civilisation….‘drawing all, even the
most barbaric, nations into
civilization’…and cheap flights to the
Algarve.
When you want to buy your house or a
flash motor do you save up for twenty
five years the money you make from
your Capitalist job? No…you borrow
from the bank…which transfers money
from the rich into your pocket as a
loan….which you pay back but in the
meantime you have a roof over your
head for 25 years by which time you
own the house.
So ‘redistribution’ is a Capitalist
idea….enabling you to live comfortable
lives you couldn’t afford otherwise and
puts all that wealth to effective use.
Communism is International?
Capitalism is of course the only true
‘international’ system…not caring
about borders if business is to be
done…even Marx acknowledges
this…‘Products consumed in every
quarter of the globe…products of
distant lands and climes…..no more
local and national seclusion…we have
universal inter-dependence of nations…
national one-sidedness and narrow-
mindedness become impossible and a
world literature arises…the cheap
prices of its commodities are the heavy
artille

Both are uncontrollable events to an extent.
Thankfully, I see absolutely no future for Sevco. ;))
The one thing the Governments are not doing is dealing with the financial crisis, we have the two puppets placed into the 2 powerful EU positions to do exactly what they are mean’t to do, nothing. They brought in 2 absolutely nobodies to take the fall for the problem. Look out for these guys who will come with the solutions. Solana could be one of them.

Dear Lord Reith Must Be Spinnin’ In His Grave….
Lamenting What Has Become Of His Most Excellent Creation….
From The “New Criterion”
Magazine : Sept 2012..
POLITICS & THE BBC..
——————————
his classic essay “Politics and the English Language,” George Orwell observed that “in our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.” Vagueness, euphemism, abstraction, pretentiousness—these were some of the instruments of evasiveness and linguistic imprecision that Orwell catalogued and castigated in his analysis of the way “the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.” By 1946, when that essay appeared, Orwell had had considerable experience of the way politics and the English language intermingled. During the war, Orwell worked for a couple of years at the BBC devising anti-Nazi propaganda. It is said that his experience there furnished him with many of the intellectual props for his masterpiece Nineteen Eighty-Four: the idea of Newspeak, for example, and even Room 101, home of “the worst thing in the world,” which was the designation of a BBC conference room.
We had occasion to think anew about Orwell and the BBC when we read the astonishing news that Mark Thompson, the outgoing Director-General of the organization, had rejected a proposal (“turned [it] down . . . flat,” as the Labour peeress Joan Bakewell put it) that a statue of Orwell be placed in front of the BBC’s £1 billion new headquarters at the top of Regent Street. The reason? Orwell was “too Left-wing.”
Mr. Thompson’s remark, the Telegraph drily noted, “will surprise critics of the BBC, who have long accused the corporation of liberal bias.” Indeed. The decay of the BBC has featured intermittently in the pages of The New Criterion, in this space as well as in John Gross’s bulletins from London over the years. Some of the criticism was directed at what, with a little squid-ink squirt of obfuscating understatement that Orwell would have savored, the Telegraph called “liberal bias.” “Left-wing ideological animus” would have been a more accurate if less emollient way of phrasing it. A lot of what we’ve had to say about the BBC contrasts the institution as it was in its pre-Sixties heyday with what’s become of it in the aftermath of the assaults of political correctness and multiculturalism.
Back when Orwell labored in the corridors of the BBC, Britain’s premier news organization really was British, proudly, defiantly so. An institution that used to embody British virtues, the BBC now routinely traduces them. In the opening months of World War II, for example, the BBC helped secure the destruction of the German warship Admiral Graf Spee, which was harrying British shipping with alarming success, by falsely reporting that the aircraft carrier Ark Royal and the battleship Renown were operating near the German ship. In those days, the BBC was firmly on the side of Western culture. Another, more recent carrier bearing the name Ark Royal took part in the second Iraq war. It is an emblematic irony that sailors aboard the Ark Royal turned off the news feed from the BBC in the opening days of the war because they found it indistinguishable from enemy propaganda. (It is emblematic in another way that the Ark Royal, like most of the Royal Navy, was decommissioned early a few years ago.)
But the degradation of the BBC is not only political—or perhaps we should say that the politics in question are as much cultural as political in the narrow sense. There has been, as John Gross noted in a “London Journal” for us in 1998, a “general debasing of standards in recent years” that “is no longer seriously in question (except of course among the Corporation’s own executives).” Among the evidences John adduced was a BBC television program about the poets Wordsworth and Coleridge. Wordsworth’s stock among the politically correct has been severely depressed of late. Here was a poet who went from “trailing clouds of glory” and praising the French Revolution to becoming an establishment icon, poet laureate, and a political conservative to boot. Coleridge, although he had the liabilities of being a political conservative as well as a serious-minded Christian, at least had the redeeming virtue (if “virtue” is the correct term) of being a drug addict whose irresponsible behavior left a swath of misery among his friends and family. Whom do you suppose the BBC lionizes? Yes, that’s right, the “junkie of genius” is the hero of the piece. “And in case we still have any doubts where our sympathies are supposed to lie,” John reported, “Coleridge is going to be played by one of the most sought-after stars of the moment—Robert Carlyle, who made his name in the celebrated movie about male strippers, The Full Monty. It’s prime time material.”
Any institution as large and multifarious as the bbc will escape easy summary. And there is always the temptation to idealize the past. No doubt there were always things to criticize about the BBC. But comparing the BBC of today with the BBC of forty or fifty years ago presents a melancholy contrast. John acknowledges the pertinence of the old Victorian joke about the past: “I’m afraid it’s not what it was—but then it never was.” But in the case of the BBC, he observes, “the reputation it built up during its first fifty or sixty years was justified. With all its faults, with all the necessary limitations of a service that has to cater to fifty million people, it achieved great things in every department from news reporting to education, from classical music to popular entertainment.”
And today? John’s column—one of several that touched on this subject—retailed the sad litany: not only the politicization and dumbing down but also the extraordinary coarsening of the BBC’s programming. Perhaps what Orwell said about the English language is also true of institutions like the BBC. “The point is,” Orwell wrote at the end of his essay, “that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration.”
Which brings us back to Mark Thompson, that outgoing Director-General of the BBC. Should the BBC erect a statue of George Orwell outside its new headquarters? We think the jury is still out. Not because Orwell was “too Left-wing” (a designation that would have amused the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four) to be so honored, but because the BBC has strayed so far from the cultural and political standards which it was created to promulgate.

WITS,
Inspirational Final today.
Nothing but respect forthe skill, courage and bravery of both teas.
The support are a credit xto their counties and their country.
BUT,
One set of supporters should have taken Liam home tonight.
Instead. The GAA are taking another €6,400,000 from people who attended today at great expense.
There should have been extra time and a result.
There is a recession and people have other things to do with their money, other than becoming the victims of emotional blackmail from a greedy organisation.
A pet hate of mine is the exploitation by Headquarters of the dedicated club and county stalwarts of the game.
other than
being victims of the emotional blackmail from a greedy organisation.
