Suicide Run : Condoleezza Rice for President of the USA in 2012.

  Seriously, al-Jazeera?  That's almost as bad as when I lived in North Carolina and got Algor's Current TV with my Time Warner.

Yup.  Couldn't believe it the first time I saw it.  Pissed me off.

BBC does good car shows... Wrecks to Riches, Wheeler Dealers, Fifth Gear.  Better than the redneck garbage they have on Spike.  How many times can you look at a ******* Camaro and still want one?  Yawn.

They have a show called MI5 that's not bad.  Hugh Laurie did a turn on there right before House went big and he made a one episode guest shot after he became popular here.

Weird hearing him without his fake American accent.

We've got BBC America on ComCrap.  We've also got the english language Al-Jezeera too.

 Please tell me you are joking, a jab at CNN or something.

No they found a way to get it on ComCast despite the fact that ComCast wouldn't take them directly.

They snuck in through the MHz cable channel which IS carried on ComCast.

HOUSTON, July 2, 2009 (MENASSAT) – The English-language cousin of the Qatar based news channel Al Jazeera launched yesterday in the Washington D.C. area after signing its first major U.S. cable deal with non-commercial MHz Networks last week.

The MHz deal means 2.3 million subscribers will now have access to the channel, adding to the 140 million households currently receiving Al Jazeera English worldwide.

Superb work Sherlock Homo.

Alan Turing was the leading British computer scientist at the time of world war 2 and during world war 2 Turing led a secret British government team which built an early kind of computer to decode the Nazi military secret communications.

Turing's work meant that we British could read the Nazis' secret signals which gave us a big advantage.

So Turing did more than any other single person to defeat the Nazis but, after the war, the UK state harassed Alan Turing for being a homosexual and drove him to suicide in 1954, at the height of McCarthyism and the red scare.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing



The only comparable world war 2 scientist to Turing, I guess, would be the American Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, who defeated the Japanese to finish up world war 2.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Oppenheimer
After provoking the ire of many politicians with his outspoken political opinions during the Red Scare, he had his security clearance revoked in a much-publicized and politicized hearing in 1954.

So no doubt there will be a few McCarthyite cave-men here who wish that McCarthy had managed to drive your own best man in a war Oppenheimer to suicide as well.

Which shows you the kind of dangerous royalist fools who run the UK (and similar paranoid types in America too perhaps) when they attack their own best men.

• So the UK DID hire a stupid Captain who piloted the Titanic at full speed right into an iceberg, sinking it.
• The UK DID drive to suicide its best man in a war, Alan Turing, for being homosexual.
• And the UK IS supporting Arab monarchs and dictators who are supporting Al Qaeda - Bin Laden being of course a secret agent of the Saudi Kingdom.

The UK does these stupid things not because the UK wants to harm the British or American people - the royalist twits who run the UK are just very, very stupid people.

There names escape me because I read the account some 20 years ago but there were quite a number of British shit-stabbers that were working for the Soviets...which is odd considering the Soviets threw poofsters into the psych hospitals.

If I remember correctly, it was Kim Philby and his mob that were predominately of the "alternate lifestyle" persuasion.

But - as is the case with the Religion of Peace^TM - I suppose it's prejudicial of us to judge a group of people by the actions of a subset.

Those are the ones.

Thank-you sir.

But - as is the case with the Religion of Peace^TM - I suppose it's prejudicial of us to judge a group of people by the actions of a subset.

I've always taken umbrage with a political argument that begins with, "We can't help it, we're born that way" and ends with, "We're just as rational as everyone else."

Condoleezza Rice und deutsche Wiedervereinigung / and German reunification (YouTube)
 
 

Condoleezza Rice at the Malta Summit with USA. President George H. W. Bush and USSR General Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev in December 1989, on board the Soviet cruise ship Maxim Gorky, Marsaxlokk Harbour, Malta.
 

Condoleezza Rice attends for the signing of The Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany in Moscow, USSR, on 12 September 1990, that paved the way for German reunification on 3 October 1990.
 
In this video of excerpts from the German film of the year 2000, "Deutschlandspiel" Condoleezza Rice narrates, dubbed into German, the history of the Malta Summit and the subsequent momentous meetings and agreements which sealed the formal reunification of Germany and the end of the cold war between East and West.
 
It would be nice to have this video in English for English speakers to enjoy.
 
I believe that the "Deutschlandspiel" DVD comes with an English-language subtitles option but I mean it would be nice to have something like this video in all English audio with Condoleezza Rice's voice heard and Gorbachev's voice dubbed-over in English and with the dramatisations played or dubbed-over by English-speaking actors/actresses and the additional commentary in spoken English.
 
Maybe there is an American movie or a British film with that in it already but it hasn't been uploaded to the web as yet? If not it would be a nice movie for someone to make.
 
Such video would obviously be an important chapter in a "The Condoleezza Rice Story" movie biography whenever Holywood gets round to that.
 
Well here's hoping!

Ah....you do have a tendency to keep turning up like the proverbial bad penny, don't you?

[Eupher]

Let's see -- Peter Dow.

While Mr. Dow is a Brit and all, I'm wondering if he might have something to do with the Dow Chemical Company.

Maybe sampled a little bit too much ethyl alcohol in one of his excursions? Who knows.

Anyway, Condi has some impressive credentials - earned her Ph.D. at a frightfully young age -- something like 26, IIRC.

Fluent in Russian. In fact, her dissertation involved the military and politics in Czechoslovakia.

She used to be like you, Peter, a lib Democrat, but according to her Wiki article, she saw just how inept Jimmy Carter's foreign policy was and became a Republican back in the early 80's.

Sigh. Peter, as a drive-by poster, you'll never aspire to much -- just a shitstain on the Keyboard of Life.
