How Osama re-elects Obama

It would be very hard to make this up – even the master-satirist Flann O’Brien could not imagine this :

How Osama Elects Obama

Big Money and Hollywood are backing Barack :

A nuclear deal with Iran? An organized retreat from Afghanistan? The eurozone picking up a little bit of steam? Stable oil prices? Forget it. The crucial foreign elector recruited for Obama II at the White House is one Osama bin Laden. Call it the “Obama nails Osama” winning strategy.

No wonder the winning strategy has been subcontracted to the Hollywood/Pentagon combo. Washington lost the Vietnam War, but won it in on screen. Oscar-winning director Kathryn Hurt Locker Bigelow had already started the process of “winning” the Iraq War on screen – at least morally. Now it’s time for her new project – an as yet untitled movie – on the “Get Osama” May 2011 Abbottabad raid and the events leading up to it. With POTUS (that’s president of the United States) as the hero of his own action movie.

Obama boasts of his Irish Moneygall Roots – No Wonder.

An interesting article from the Irish Examiner : http://feeds.examiner.ie/~r/ietopstories/~3/Zg1NinWii-8/

The author of that cruel jibe was ex Fianna Fail taoiseach Sean Lemass – history repeats itself first as tragedy..

Readers are encouraged to go past this unexciting headline in the Saturday October 29 2011 Irish Times – “Myers tells tribunal he will not reveal sources”.

The Smithwick Tribunal is investigating claims that IRA “moles” based in Dundalk Garda Station helped organise the killing of two Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officers, Buchanan and Breen during “the troubles”. Read the rest of this entry »

A King of Plagiarism in the Irish Examiner

leave a comment »

The English Independent Journalist, Johann Hari, is a proven plagiarist

One of the Dublin Establishment’s favourite Unionists, Stephen King, who has a regular column in the Irish Examiner, seems to sing a similar tune.

Stephen King. Ireland’s Very Own

“Harigate” Scandal?

Surely, we should protect Doctor King, in the interests of the peace process?

Why get bothered about journalistic standards, or trivial things like the facts?
