I have found the founding document of all the evils foisted on the world by Tony Bliar and Bill Cliton! The author, Robert Cooper was Bliar's adviser and amongst numerous jaw-dropping statements is this:

"The challenge to the postmodern world is to get used to the idea of double standards. Among ourselves, we operate on the basis of laws and open cooperative security. But when dealing with more old-fashioned kinds of states outside the postmodern continent of Europe, we need to revert to the rougher methods of an earlier era - force, pre-emptive attack, deception, whatever is necessary to deal with those who still live in the nineteenth century world of every state for itself. Among ourselves, we keep the law but when we are operating in the jungle, we must also use the laws of the jungle."

Since Mr Cooper is a citizen of the UK where people are locked up for thought crime presumably he is liable to a lengthy spell behind bars!

This Week's Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Will Be On Friday 18th June 2026

I am back in London after a wonderful, intense and exhausting trip to Russia. This has helped me to develop and change my views on a number of important topics.

However, I am far too tired after an incredibly complex journey back from Russia to do a Live Stream today.

Accordingly, with regrets and apologies, I am postponing this again to this Friday, at our usual times.

A brief exchange with @steve_brown regarding the official definition of anti-semitism (casting a wide net indeed) nudged me to investigate some historic aspects of Jewish attitudes to host nations, dual loyalty and so on

From Jakob Klatzkin's “Krisis und Entscheidung im Judentum: der Probleme des Judentums” (Crisis and Decision in Judaism: The Problems of Judaism), 2nd Expanded Edition, Jüdischer Verlag, Berlin 1921.

  • Our demand for national rights in the Diaspora also depends on this: if we have multiple homelands, we are no longer a unified people.
    pg. 117

  • We are not Germans, French, etc., and Jews; we are not Germans, French, etc., and Jews on top of that; our Jewishness is not a superstructure of being German or French, just as it is not a substructure of them: these identities are mutually exclusive, for we are Jews without qualification, because we are without compromise, Jews without euphemism and without reservation!

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
