The Royal Court of Thailand




Freshly uploaded. I'd much prefer to use an elegant visual but until the deaths of 2010 protesters are represented fairly and investigated properly I wont pretend things are OK. They're not. I don't accept the Royal Thai Army's use of live bullets to clear peaceful political protest.

NSA Wants To Reach Down And Touch Your Private Parts




The fake left make every excuse for Obama even though he promised to make transparency and the rule of law his Presidential signature. He encouraged and promised to protect whistleblowers but the fake left are completely unconcerned that his term in office has been far more harsh than his predecessor George Bush.

This New York Times video of NSA whistleblower William Binney is an excellent short introduction into the drift towards Nazism by the American security State. The NSA and all the other greasy snouts in the pork barrel security spending trough can never have enough of our money to justify their pensions and increasing brutality and intrusions of privacy. 

You should watch this excellent piece.

The Taiping Rebellion




When the British finally intervened in the worst civil war in human history it turned out to be a disastrous mistake. People like Ed Husain should listen to lectures like this if ever in doubt about the value of interfering in other people's affairs such as is occurring in Syria.

Dr. Stephen R. Platt, a 2008-2010 fellow in the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations' Public Intellectuals Program, discusses his latest book, Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom: China, the West, and the Epic Story of the Taiping Civil War, at the Luce Foundation office in New York. The book is a military history of the nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. National Committee Vice-President Jan Berris moderates the event.
