Lots of truth in irony: otherwise it wouldn't work with your multiple recommends.

A very thoughtful and considered comment, entirely related to a consideration of the facts. Or not, of course. This is the best that jpv can come up with? I rest my case 'your honour'.

Anyone seriously interested in this charade, who looks beyond the shit published by government outlets and press releases regurgitated by the DT, should have a look at at alternative sources of real investigative journalism that used to be published in newspapers of merit, but are now found only on the internet.

I repeat this from the lat comments sections which finished almost the minute that I posted.

Chris Floyd deleted a previous comment of mine without explanation or disclosure. My comment simply vanished - as, no doubt, will this one. There is no free dialogue here. It is a site devoted to Israeli-free criticism. This site has now been removed from my Bookmarks and I suggest that - like me - readers move to more realistic, radical sites.Edit

Not "free", but bought and paid for.

Sure. Of course. But is it honesty to offer comments only on some subjects? Of course not. So - almost by definition - it is censorship done in a way that simple people do not appreciate. Some of these people say 'but it's their website' as though that justifies what we are able to read and to comment upon. But that is the antithesis of a free press. Sadly, there are still people who defend the principle that big business (and advertisers) can perpetuate lies because it is their business/website. Sad, but obviously true.

Catholics have no special interest in pushing Iraqi weapons of mass destruction or Iranian nuclear armaments. Not sure who does but it is nothing to do with catholicism. Perhaps the arms industry may have an interest?

Im posting this early to attract attention before it "disappears". Sorry to be off topic, but I think that it is important. I would like to hear if there is a consensus and that the DT might hear our voices.

Has anyone noticed how subjects - and especially comments - rapidly disappear from the DT as soon as the comments become faintly hostile? I'm thinking of the Angelina Jolie post that disappeared in the blink of an eye, but there are many, many other examples. Also - as another poster commented upon - most contentious subjects, such as the blatant propaganda against Syria, no longer allow comments. Does anyone else smell blatant censorship?

I am posting this comment at all of the "social interest/trash" sites because the DT rarely any more allows comments to be posted at their so-called news sites. So, I would be grateful for comments and opinions.Has anyone noticed how subjects - and especially comments - rapidly disappear from the DT as soon as the comments become faintly hostile?

I'll put this comment on another subject too and apologise if some people think I am becoming repetitive. But I truly think that this is becoming a major problem and that the comments sections are only there as a palliative to let off some gentle steam.

Angelina Jolie is a CIA stooge. How else was she able to tour the "refugee" camps in Turkey - from where the Syrian invasion was planned and initiated - when they were out of bounds to all journalists? Total Western theatre, promulgated as usual by the DT.

I would rather play golf at St Andrews than in the arab golf states. But why then is Israel pushing for war and strongly supporting the "rebels"?

Worth noting that - apart form the DT "reporters" themselves - this person appears as one of the few supporters of the anti-Assad propaganda.

Lazy, inaccurate propaganda like the stuff now being churned out in harmony by the DT, Guardian and the Independent (sic) will result the deserved death of these once worthwhile newspapers. Trivial trash and propaganda is all that they report now. The disasters of Iraq and Libya could have taught them the dangers of parroting government spin without question but the days of true, questioning investigative journalism are now long gone and these "newspapers" deserve to die with the deceased true journalists.

Pseudo scientists or not, NASA is not entirely concerned with climate changes as it actually has a few other concerns - not the least absence of continued funding since the moon expeditions have ceased. So we are probably talking about a dozen or so people who are clinging to the residual job funding by supporting the latest fad. Then comes 0.30C GLOBALLY over a DECADE. Sorry to shout, but wtf does that mean?

Without references for that string of typically pseudo-scientific list of numbers - how measured and by who (and who was paying for these measurements, where they were sited, who did the measurements etc, etc) - the whole thing is as phoney as Gore who - incidentally - just as genuinely invented the internet.

And currently in NSW Australia it is the coldest summer for 16 years and the wettest for 17 years. So your point is? Also to someone above: why is weather not climate when here in Australia we have had 2 cold winters and summers in a row? Define the difference.

Maybe some muslims have just cause to hate jews, especially if they live in Palestine. But I don't know of any great political influence exerted by muslims in the West: maybe hatred against them is being generated by a tribe of muslim haters who do exert enormous political clout - enough to start sundry wars against them.

The persecution of Germans continues. I was in Germany last week and was told about the "Stolpersteine" (tripping stones) on the footpaths where Jews used to live. The amazing thing is that my German relative thought that there is nothing which can be done about this ignominy and is accepting it.

Good luck, Tim. But beware. Physical gold is going up even in commodity currencies such as the $Au.
