Libyan Refugees - Inflatables on Mediterranean

If you have ever been on an "Inflatable" smaller than this when sea gets to Force 4, it's not pleasant. Over 1000 people since August 2019.

The moves by Salvini and some in the Maltese/Greek governments to put up barriers and restrictions and even "let them drown" attitudes (oh yes) are short term. The only real solution is to improve conditions in places like Libya to allow these people to stay at home. No easy task, when countries are fucked over about hydrocarbons as Libya was, as Syria certainly has been, as Iraq definitely was.

The war against the people traffickers is a losing one, according to understaffed Europol and the agencies dealing with this, but trying to get stability in the home countries and never letting up against those men is the only way. NO MORE OIL WARS! RENEWABLE ENERGY!

With it's gas reserves managed and husbanded for good use and it's huge Solar Energy potential, Libya can be fantastic 10 years from now and no-one would really want to leave. That happens when the oilers and supporters of hydrocarbon money go away, one way or another. In Libya, ENI, Total and BP are severely guilty in retrospect. Whether or not the bastard gangster traffickers can ever go away, who knows, but no demand = no supply.
The Ocean Viking charity vessel, operated jointly by SOS Mediterranee and Doctors Without Borders, carried out a mission Tuesday rescuing 94 refugees and migrants off the coast of Libya.

Chomsky Explanation

A quite perfect explanation of the Trump attention-gathering clown show, from Noam Chomsky, probably the "hate-figure" most focused on, along with perhaps Naomi Klein (Shock Doctrine:  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shock_Doctrine ), because they know and figured out what was going on with the Ayn Rand style "Libertarianism" (or Neoliberalism, it doesn't really matter which label is used frankly) that has grown and then exploded viciously and violently over the last 40 years. If I were forced to choose a year I would say 1981. It is now at or neat it's horrible apogee. Sasha-Borisova was supposed to be a similar if somewhat smaller telegenic side-show, but he sadly does not seem to have the immense showman's talent of Donald, nor his thick orange hide, nor his quite palpable level of sheer insanity, a lumpen mass not in possession of that helpful, brutal ignorance, those gargantuan levels of corruption, the sheer bloodied evil that runs through his darken

Borisova and the Reformed Cuntocracy

Image
This is quite disgusting. The usual "You are all anti-business, anti-achievement" crap written by a lying nasty cheat who has become leader of a country (no not the crooked Leader of The Free World in the fat suit, his much less influential copycat City of London/Oligarch puppet-minion).  The first rule of journalism must be that it stands independent of power. So a front page like this is another sad day for the Daily Telegraph, but also sends an unhappy message about what journalism is actually for. The question as to whether foreigners (the owners) should be able to use newspapers in this way is an interesting one, but all a bit too late. Preaching to the converted I suppose. Half-maddened Borisova is not only demonstrably not a half-decent politician, he is not even a moderate journalist,  a fully paid of member of this small club. Squawking, nasty, pompous shits more or less to a cunt. A real toss-up who is the biggest, Cameron, Mogg, Borisova or Osborne. I should
