Margaret Thatcher personally covered up child abuse ­allegations made against one of her senior ministers, according to explosive new claims.

The Sunday People reports Tory Prime Minister is said to have held a high-powered meeting with the rising star, who was being tipped for promotion, and told him: "You have to clean up your sexual act."

It followed an allegation that the minister had sexually abused young boys at the home of one of his political allies in 1982.

However the minister apparently ignored the warnings.

It is claimed that four years later he was spotted by police seeking young boys for sex at Victoria railway station in London.

But no action was taken.

The extraordinary claims - made to the Sunday People by a source with inside knowledge of Scotland Yard in the early 1980s - are now expected to be put before the Westminster child abuse ­inquiry announced last week by the Prime Minister.

Former Pink Floyd frontman sparks fury by [accurately] comparing Israelis to Nazis

Roger Waters said the parallels between Israel and Germany in the 1930s were 'crushingly obvious'. He's absolutely right.
Remarks by the musician Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd, comparing the modern Israeli state to Nazi Germany have put him at the centre of a furious dispute.

Performers and religious figures reacted angrily to the veteran rock star's argument that Israeli treatment of the Palestinians can be compared to the atrocities of Nazi Germany. "The parallels with what went on in the 1930s in Germany are so crushingly obvious," he said in an American online interview last week.

Waters, 70, a well-known supporter of the Palestinian cause, has frequently defended himself against accusations that he is antisemitic, claiming he has a right to urge fellow artists to boycott Israel.

Israeli Defense Forces cut water supply to homes of top Hamas officials in Shati.
No showers at home for Ismail Haniya. Experts say the IDF is targeting Hamas officials' homes, like it did in 2006 against Hizbullah.

The IDF is purposely targeting the homes of top Hamas officials, experts say. According to commentary on Israeli media Wednesday, the water supply at the "refugee camp" neighborhood of Shati in Gaza has been cut off by the Israeli attacks.

This is seen as personally targeting Hamas "Prime Minister" Ismail Haniya, who lives in Shati. As an expert said - Haniya will not be showering in his home in the coming days.

Another expert noted that a similar strategy was pursued by the IDF in the 2006 Second Lebanon War, in which the entire Beirut neighborhood that housed Hizbullah's men - the Dahia - was turned to rubble.

However, Israel is still not targeting civilian infrastructures such as water and electricity in a way that would create large scale pressure on the Hamas leadership. The Chairman of Israel Electric Company, Yiftah Ron-Tal, said Wednesday that he supports cutting off electricity to Gaza - currently supplied by Israel. He noted that the Palestinians owe the IEC a large debt that they are not paying.

Deputy Transprt Minister Tzipi Hotovely also told Channel 2 that it is time for Israel to stop supplying Gaza with electricity and water.

Comment: The real shower, unfortunately, is from rocket fire and both sides will most likely "take a bath." Israel plans to hit the area with heavy force as it steps up an offensive against Gazan "militants" similar to the 2006 conflagration with Hizbullah in Lebanon that ended in utter devastation and high civilian casualties. Netanyahu: "We develop defensive systems against missiles in order to protect our civilians and they use their civilians to protect their missiles." Same difference: missiles are fired and civilians die.

Islamic State growing in strength - 1,000-strong Syrian rebel brigade defects

An entire 1,000-strong rebel brigade based in Syria's Idlib province has reportedly defected to the Islamic State group, raising new questions as to whether other factions will rally behind the militant force that has swept through Iraq's west.

The Dawud Brigade, which was based in Sarmin and fell under the umbrella of the anti-government Sham Army, arrived in the northeastern city of Raqqa last weekend, the main headquarters for the Islamic State (IS) - previously known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL).

The rebel group arrived in a convoy of over 100 vehicles, including 10 tanks seized from Syrian government forces, McClatchy reported quoting anti-government activists as saying on Tuesday. Syrian journalist Ammar Abu Shahin said that an increasingly complex relationship between anti-government rebel groups prompted Dawun Brigade's leader, Hassan Abboud, to head to Raqqa.

"Frankly speaking, people in the countryside of Idlib are in a real panic about the advancement of the Islamic State," said Shahin.

According to the journalist, who is familiar with the dynamics between pro-Western Syrian rebels and more radical Islamist elements, the decision by the brigade to formally align itself with the Islamic State was "only a change in uniform," suggesting that groups already sympathetic could well identify themselves and also head for its Raqqa headquarters.

Comment: All the hand-wringing over the Islamic State by western powers is just for show. This has been a Western op from the beginning.
  • NATO created Iraqi militant group ISIS execute 1,700 Iraqi soldiers, post gruesome pictures
  • NATO's terror hordes in Iraq to be a pretext for Syria invasion
  • US in Iraq: Geopolitical arsonists seek to burn the whole region
  • VIDEO: U.S. fighting alongside ISIS, playing both sides of the conflict
Yet, things appear to be spiraling out of the handsof the PTB who hoped to control the energy resources of the Middle East. Wishful thinking will get you every time, as the monster may be slipping its leash:
  • Iraq blowback: Major oil companies evacuating personnel over fears ISIS targeting oilfields
  • Did Obama know that ISIS planned to invade Iraq?

Bibi blusters: Nothing will stop our genocidal mission, not even international law

Arch-demon Ben Netanyahu speaks during a press conference at the defense ministry in the Israeli coastal city of Tel Aviv on July 11, 2014.
The legality of Israel's Operation Protective Edge, which entered its fifth day on Saturday, has been questioned by the UN's humanitarian chief. But Israel's prime minister has said that no international pressure will stop the offensive.

Under international law, Israel must make sure its attacks are proportional, avoid civilian deaths, and identify military versus civilian objects on the ground, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said on Friday.


Comment: None of which Israel puts even the slightest effort into doing. In fact, she actively does the opposite: responds with disproportionate force, targets civilians to murder, and targets civilian objects and infrastructure.


"We have received deeply disturbing reports that many of the civilian casualties, including of children, occurred as a result of strikes on homes. Such reports raise serious doubt about whether the Israeli strikes have been in accordance with international humanitarian law and international human rights law," Pillay said in a statement.

The Palestinian death toll rose to at least 106 people early Saturday, as Israel continued its airstrikes for the fourth consecutive day, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. At least 75 of those killed are civilians, including 23 children, Reuters quoted medical officials in Gaza as saying.

Meanwhile, there haven't been any casualties in Israel, with only nine civilians injured, Pillay's office said, citing media reports. Earlier, Israeli officials reported that two soldiers had been wounded.

Comment: Vice, Gantz, Netanyahu and the whole bunch do not deserve to be in the positions they have. If there was any justice in the world, they would be rotting in prisons.

Amnesty International: UN must urgently investigate war crimes in Israeli-Gaza conflict

Smoke and flames are seen following what witnesses said was an Israeli air strike in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip July 11, 2014.
Amnesty International (AI) has urged the UN to urgently mandate an independent international investigation into Israeli airstrikes on Gaza as well as Palestine's indiscriminate shelling of Israel, and hold accountable those responsible for war crimes.

Despite claims by Israel that its operation "Protective Edge", launched June 8, targets Hamas militants, most of more than a hundred Palestinians killed in airstrikes on Gaza are civilians, Amnesty says, adding that at least 24 children and 16 women were among the casualties.

Simultaneously, at least 20 people in Israel have been wounded by rocket attacks from Palestinian territories, according to the human rights watchdog, calling on the UN to set up a "fact-finding mission to Gaza and Israel to investigate violations of international humanitarian law by all parties to the conflict."

"Swift UN action is needed as lives hang in the balance," said Philip Luther, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Amnesty International. "The international community must not repeat previous mistakes, standing by and watching the devastating consequences for civilians of both sides."

Amnesty sees arms embargo on Israel and all Palestinian military groups as a means of preventing the violence escalating further.

60 seconds to live: IDF "knocks" on Palestinian civilian homes before obliterating them 1 minute later

Joe Quinn

While the IDF is ignoring allegations that it targets civilian homes (because it is obvious that they are) IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said it uses phone calls and "drops empty shells on roofs" - what it calls "roof knocking" - to warn civilians that air strikes are imminent.

Speaking to US media recently, Learner said that "in one case, members of a family returned to a house in Gaza shortly after having been warned to evacuate it and they were caught in the air strike."

Silly Palestinians. I mean, surely 60 seconds is more than enough for anyone to gather the children, grandparents, pack all important items and leave your house and be at a safe distance before a massive bomb blows it to pieces?! Israel has to 'defend itself' in this way after all, and Palestinians should understand that and not be so stupid as to return to their houses after they receive the neighborly warning that its time to leave!

Check out the "empty shell" that the IDF dropped on this Palestinian home a few days ago to warn the civilians inside that their home would be obliterated 60 seconds later.


This is terrorism by ANY definition of the word.

White House admits to fake vaccine campaigns to steal DNA

The White House has officially admitted to an incredibly nefarious campaign - faking vaccination programs across the country while covertly stealing your DNA.

This illegal, immoral, and insane scheme was concocted to profile terrorists as part of our war against the Middle East. These terrorists would then be hunted down with DNA samples and executed.

The New York Times reported in 2011:
"In the months before Osama bin Laden was killed, the Central Intelligence Agency ran a phony vaccination program in Abbottabad, Pakistan, as a ruse to obtain DNA evidence from members of Bin Laden's family thought to be holed up in an expansive compound there."
The CIA recruited a "senior Pakistani doctor to organize the vaccine drive in Abbottabad, even starting the "project" in a poorer part of town to make it look more authentic."

This project reveals that the U.S. government, only under a forced admission, denied 'public health' in order to secretly and illegally assassinate one person.

Millions of people, possibly, were subject to this scheme. It was likely carried out by nurses being trained to draw a small amount of blood after administering a vaccination.

Psychopaths in Action: Israeli Military Bombs Home for Disabled People in Gaza


UK Guardian

A Palestinian boy carries a damaged wheelchair amid the debris of the Gaza home where two disabled people were killed by an Israeli air strike.
Who knows who lived in the two first-floor apartments above a home for eight disabled adults in a neighbourhood of eastern Gaza.

Perhaps, as a neighbour suggests, one of them was a militant with Islamic Jihad who lived there with his family. But the neighbour says he isn't sure. What is certain is that the occupant was absent in the early hours of Saturday morning when the two Israeli drones "knocked on his roof" - firing warning shots to encourage civilians to vacate the building prior to a strike.

A few minutes later, an Israeli war plane fired a missile into the house. But it didn't detonate on the first floor. Instead, it smashed through to the ground floor where the explosion ripped through the room where five of the disabled residents were sleeping, killing two and injuring the others.

A neighbour found one of the dead, who was missing initially, after he noticed flies buzzing around the place where she was buried. "A body! A body!" the man shouted. Gingerly he lifted the piece of concrete concealing a curly head of hair, face down in the debris.
