John Bolton Rejects ICC (C-SPAN)
- Details
"Word for Word: John Bolton Says US Will Not Cooperate with International Criminal Court", C-SPAN Youtube Channel (10 September 2018)
It's a good job that the elites of the US and those of its allies never commit any war crimes, otherwise these words might look like an attempt to escape justice. Thankfully, though, such "leaders" are always impeccable advocates of "feedom, democracy and the rule of law", so there's nothing to worry about here.

"Syria War : US "has seen evidence" - chemical weapons being prepared", BBC News (07 September 2018)
This is too much! In the same article (embedded video) we are told that the rebels in Idlib face "overwhelming odds" [against them] because they are "surrounded and outgunned", and yet that the US has " "lots of evidence" that Syrian government forces are preparing to use chemical weapons in Idlib", in spite of the US state department having "warned on Monday that Washington would respond to any chemical attacks by the Syrian government or its allies."

John Bolton "Warns" Syria (NBC News)

"John Bolton Warns Syria: U.S. "Will Respond Strongly" If Chemical Weapons Used In Idlib", NBC News Youtube Channel (22 August 2018)
Excuse my cynicism, but aren't the words of US National Security Advisor John Bolton, who here "warns" Assad not to order the use of chemical weapons in Idlib—which, it seems to me, he has no good reason to do—likely to encourage violent jihadists opposed to the Syrian government to carry out just such an attack (or related hoax) to be blamed on Assad?

Jiskefet, "English Sports", Jiskefet YouTube channel (15 October 2014)
On a lighter note, I really must share this wonderful satire on English sports by the Dutch TV comedy programme Jiskefet. Maybe they go a little too far by including the board game, but the rest of it is priceless. There's also something "just right" about the player with a pipe in his mouth; I seem to remember people like that from my childhood. I hope you enjoy it too.Peter Vs Peter Debate (BeautifulDays)

John Pilger's Sydney Speech on Julian Assange
- Details
John Pilger: "John Pilger Speaks at Free Julian Assange Rally - Sydney Town Hall - 17th June 2018", Yupster2501 YT channel
John Pilger's forthright speech at the Socialist Equality Party* rally in Sydney, organised to demand that the Australian government secure Julian Assange's freedom and safe return to Australia, and guarantee his protection from any attempt to extradite him to the US.
(*Please don't be put off by the fact that this is a "socialist" rally; the issue of Julian Assange transcends politics, at least on this level.)
TMR 111 : Transcript : Dr. Mike Licona : On The Gospels and Their Contradifferences
- Details
What are the New Testament Gospels? How should we read them in relation to each other? And are they really "full of contradictions", as some would say?
This week we welcome Dr. Mike Licona, associate professor of theology at Houston Baptist University, who joins us for an extended in-depth discussion on the New Testament Gospels and the differences between them. Drawing upon his many years of research into the subject, Dr. Licona leads us through the maze of questions often asked about the NT Gospels, and explains how familiarity with the literary conventions of Graeco-Roman biography and historiography can help to provide compelling answers.
