Cacophony of Emails

                          Cyclops has been in receipt of a cacophony of emails

  It seems friends, family, the hoi polloi and members of the Regiment are in need of guidance from a "higher authority". Though that last was in the context of Attorney General Barr                                                    

EMAIL  EXAMPLES   
                                                                                                          
  1.  "There have also been no blog posts. Unusual in that there's been a lot to blog about, probably too much. Anyway, hope you're well and your apnia is only affecting you during sleeping hours"

2.  "AAAAARgh Trump in the clear? Really we need your reassurance--NOW"

3.  "All the proposals in House of Commons voted NO. Cyclops what NOW?"                                                                                             https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-47724037

4.   "If MPs cannot agree on any course of action and Theresa cannot lead the country anywhere, shouldn’t a                new, better defined,referendum take place?                                                                                                                          Or a new general election held                                                                                                         Or would that be too sensible?                                                                               Where has the country of “sense and sensibility” gone?                                                                 Brexit: What just happened?"
  
5.   "Tottenham are playing Liverpool on Sunday.
         If they lose again [dropped 11 points in last five premiership games]                                         and Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea win, is that the end of their season?!?"


                                   CYCLOPS' last 2 posts were on March 22nd   

         "Purim"-- On Secretary of State Pompeo's invocation of divine intervention to elect Trumpfski in order to save the Jews from the Persians.

  "Trump Announces Ban of Boeing 737 Max Flights”.Any one seen or heard from Elaine Chow recently?  

                                        ED:  Who she?               CYCLOPS:  Exactly


 Sunday evening 24th March, Attorney General Barr dropped his bombshell version of the truth. 
Why him? Where was Mueller?

CYCLOPS has yet to post--distracted by too much news,football, tax preparation and grand dad duties.
 
 
NO LONGER.  
We are stung back into the fray.
We will post on each of the above today and tomorrow
But before returning to the dreaded US Tax Forms let me express optimism,to be followed up later.

!.              Trumpfski: Peaked last week.
                                    Barr "cleared" him.
                                    Avennati indicted
                                    All downhill from here

2.            Brexit   The fat lady did not sing
                            The “people" got us into this
                            The "people' will have to get us out

3.            UK Elections:
                              Neither May nor Corbyn will fight another 
                              Election as leader-- or at all..

4.           Tottenham 
                                 May have to win the Champion League to
                                 save the season and hang on to their players.

PURIM :Cyclops lost for Words




                                                               Speak no evilSpeak no evil 

Cyclops assures his Jewish followers that this is NOT part of a PURIM  SPIEL

According to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo 

TRUMPFSKI, like Esther   ‘may have been sent by God to save Jews from Iran’

   https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/donald-trump-may-have-been-sent-by-god-to-save-jews-from-iran-suggests-secretary-of-state-mike-pompeo-1.481937

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/mike-pompeo-says-its-possible-donald-trump-is-a-new-esther-sent-by-god-to-save-the-jews-from-iran

You think that is weird?.......

Jim Bakker said that God told him He put Donald Trump on this earth to give the church time to prepare for the impending rapture.


Really weird?......

Last month Senior adviser and putz- in -law Jarhead  Kushner leaked that he has the   Middle Eat peace plan ready to roll  TadaHear no evilMoney mouth face
  • Having moved the US embassy to Jerusalem
  • Cut aid to Palestinian refugees
  • Unilaterally nullified the multilateral Iran Nuclear Treaty
  • Absolved Saudi Strongman bin Salman of Khashogi murder and 
  • Of Yemeni genocide
  • Taken credit for the "end of" Isis
Trumpfski has now announced that in defiance of international Conventions US recognizes Israeli Sovereignty of the Golan.
ED:                I had not realised the Israeli's wanted that?
CYCLOP:     Me neitherMan facepalming most don't care as long as its demilitarized and not a                                        threat.
                    But Netanyahu is now behind in the polls and facing indictments so                        maybe Trumpfski is trying to help out

ED :           OY VEY --  is that what you people say?

Cyclops:    Sure.
                   By the way the things that Netanyahu is being charged with would                                         not rise to the level of a minor misdemeanor in Washington.
                     
  Pesky independent law enforcement in that den of anti democratic imperialists                                    in Israel.

Weirder yet....

Trumpfski tweeted the Golan news this morning as well as claiming that
                             ” The Democrats hate Jews”
Schummer,Feinstein et al were stunned by this revelation.

Expect them all to switch parties,giving Trumpfski a veto proof Senate for his entire Mishigas .
                                    
                                        STABLE GENIUS 

Back to the "Peace Plan"                                                                                                   
 In Warsaw last month, Kushner said the White House plan would focus on border issues. 
 W.H.leaks  indicate inter alia the plan includes 
  • Jordan would give territory to the Palestinian authority
  •  In return, Jordan would get land from Saudi Arabia,
  •  Saudi would get back two Red Sea islands it gave Egypt to administer in 1950.
  • The Golan would be ceded to Israeli Sovereignty.
  • Israel would determine its borders with the new Palestinian State
Well the Golan bit was announced by tweet today.

Netanyahu is in DC next week--a good time to announce the Israel/Palestine borders.

The whole thing will be wrapped up at a Grand Peace Conference of the                                                               "Three Abrahamic Faiths minus the Shia" 
on the Temple Mount/Dome of the Rock.

So now its the 2 1/2  Abrahamic faiths

Catering for the conference will be done by New York’s Broadway Deli.
Kosher and Halal.
Bacon sandwiches cut separately 
                



Trump Announces Ban of Boeing 737 Max Flights

Trump Announces Ban of Boeing 737 Max Flights  NY TIMES


BOEING  fire lobbying firm S-3 Group-- a firm “specializing in representation of key defense contractors.”

Spokesman Sarah  Huckabee Sanders denied that the W.H. decision was influenced by the cancellation of 600,000 US flight bookings in last two days

The anticipated appointment of Elaine Chow  to the Boeing board when she leaves government is said to now be in question.
Chow is married to Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell
She previously served on the board of Enron leading up to and through its bankruptcy.

She is the Secretary of Transportation which did NOT ground the 737 8/9 X.
Trump acted AFTER safety regulators in over 40 countries had banned flights by the jets.    


When it comes to clearing the swamp Trump is gender neutral

No Deal No Tariffs



   UK Treasury has announced a new tariff regime in the event of a"no deal" Brexit.

This is designed "designed to minimise costs to business and consumers while protecting vulnerable industries."

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/temporary-tariff-regime-for-no-deal-brexit-published?utm_source=ff424005-3430-4a72-acf5-118e54d6683c&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications&utm_content=immediate 
 
 Possibly this was done to scare Tory MPs into supporting Mays deal on the next vote but three.

It is  a stroke of negotiating genius.

A minister is quoted

" If we leave without a deal, we will set the majority of our import tariffs to zero, whilst maintaining tariffs for the most sensitive industries......It represents a modest {Cyclops emphasis added-87%?} liberalisation of tariffs"

No doubt the Treasury and Downing Street are briefing furiously in order to get the credit for this wondrous new negotiating tactic.

The gist is :

  •                       Tariffs removed from 87% of goods by value.
  •                       Leaving 13%,including
  •                       Pork,beef,lamb and dairy
  •                       "Finished" vehicles  but not parts from the EU
  •                       Ceramics
  •                       Fertiliser and fuel

At the same time 
   There will not be a customs land border on the Island of Ireland

 I ask my Irish readers to get in touch asap.We see a business opportunity.
 It may not last forever and you have the contacts for labour and equipment.

Perhaps our first convoy could consist of  50 new  Renault Trucks made in Lyon

We could pack them with Italian ceramics,tiles,toilet basins ,bidets etc
  With perhaps the beef,pork and lamb carcasses in 5 or six freezer trucks
                     and the bovine excreta [fertiliser]carried separately                                                                                         
I leave the selection of the port of entry into Ireland to you and then the 50 drivers up to Belfast for on shipping to Liverpool                                                                                                                       

We could  transship the trucks with Bovine excreta directly to Downing street but we fear they may already have a surplus                                                                                                                Our reading of the press release and soundings taken at Her Majesty's Custom indicate that there is no need  to supply bandanas or eye patches as there will be no border checks.  


  Please ask the drivers NOT to fly flags or banners on the trucks, no matter how tempting that would be.                                                                                                                                                           

                                           

PS  to UK trade negotiators                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         This policy should really help in your future negotiations on bilateral trade deals

Massage Parlours


                                                          The Trumpfski Clan    
The gift that keeps on giving


  The  founder of seedy South Florida massage parlors chain where Robert Kraft was serviced and then arrested for solicitation attended President Trump’s Super Bowl party and was substantial donor to his campaign.


     
  • Orchids of Asia Day Spa founder Li Yang, 45, posted a photo of herself watching the Patriots win the Super Bowl with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago                                                                                                                                                
    10746450-0-image-a-14_1552058135353  2.jpg
  • Yang, 45, is a frequent guest at Mar-a-Lago and has also visited The White House and Trump Tower multiple times since President Trump took office  
  •   'Leaders like you are the key to fulfilling our bold agenda to Make America Great Again,' wrote Trump in a note to Yang signed by himself and the First Lady 
  • Yang donated $81,00 to the Trump Victory Fund in 2018


Madame Yang apparently posted on her facebook page her cell phone video of the Mar-a-Lago party

                                                                                                                                                               
  ED: I thought the secret service had to vet anybody who could regularly get so close to                Trumpfski.      
CYCLOPS: I am assured that the secret service regularly vet massage parlours.                                    There is no evidence that Madame Yang has any ties to the Chinese security services

 Nor is there evidence she has any tapes of Trumpfski,Kraft and Epstein partying together.
And certainly not with Labor Secretary and ex Miami prosecutor Alexander Acosta.

Those Jews Again


              "Lord Falconer reopens Labour anti-semitic hate cases"

                        Sorry I just saw this  in the Times and could not resist a response.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/lord-falconer-reopens-labour-anti-semitic-hate-cases-wr6wgdl

Nothing like bringing in an old lawyer to sort the problem.
He has already established his independence and clear thinking.
   Falconer said he does not believe Corbyn is “personally anti-semitic” Stuck out tongue winking eye
Given how intimately these two must have worked together over the years such a wholehearted endorsement of innocence comes as a great comfort.

The faith of convenience must be a wonderful thing. Weary

Good chap that Falconer, Nothing platitudinous or patronising about this man.
  • “We have totally lost the confidence of the Jewish community and we have to get it back,”
  •  “They feel they are not safe . . .
  •   That is terrifying and it is existential to the Jewish community. "
  • "Jeremy is the leader of the Labour Party. I want him to be prime minister." 
  •  "This [the perception of antisemitism] is preventing it."

 General Secretary Jenny Formby asked him to take on this role AFTER Tom Watson--deputy leader--had demanded to see all the files himself.

It seems Formby and Watson do not play well together.


ANYWAY  Cyclops could not resist appending his comments to the Article.
The times elfs' decision is "pending approval".  
You dear readers  get to see it anyway:

"What a disgrace!! This is a clear misogynistic put down of ALL Women.So patronising!! Why bring in an elderly male Blairite,Baron to oversee a dedicated female General Secretary,with years of dedicated service to democratic Trades Unionism? There is a much younger lawyer who could have served. I speak of Baroness Chakrabati. A Lady of great experience in these matters . I would see the choice of Falconer as extremely Ironic,but I am Jewish."

RE FORM the LABOUR PARTY



                          The Labour party is Dead     πŸ’€

                           Long live the Labour party   ✊🌹

If we cannot save and reform Corbyn's Labour party then let us
                        Re  Form the Real Labour Party.

Back to its roots,

The party grew out of the Trades Union Movement and was founded in 1900 as the Labour Representation Committee.
Seeking a democratic,parliamentary route to power and reform.

The party throughout its history believed in Representative Parliamentary Democracy and eschewed revolutionary Marxism;particularly Bolshevism.

The two great pillars :
  • Elected control of Parliament   allied to a
  • Free and independent Trades Union Movement.
In the intra party battles through the 20th  century.
  • Individual Freedom always triumphed over Crude Collectivism
  • Reform over Revolution
  • Equality of opportunity over equality of outcome.
  • Independent thought over vanguard dictat
  • Regulated Capitalism and a mixed economy over Directed Choice
  • Open,rules based trade over autarky
  • Social democracy over Soviet,Cuban or Venezuelan  Authoritarianism 
In the immortal phrasing of Harold Wilson: Labour party philosophy owed 
                      "More to Methodism than to Marxism".

He also noted  


And        A week is along time in politics
              My friend, we don't support savages, we just allow them to come to our meetings,


The early 21st Century has  a different reality due to:

  • radical changes in the work place
  • instant mass communication                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Both the Party and the Unions hollowed out .

  • This,catalysed by the financial crisis of 2008,the incompetence and infighting  of Labour moderates,and the foolishness of Ed Miliband; has led to the Corbynistas take over. 
  • They have control of.the leader,the NEC ,many local branches and the party bureaucracy.
  • This will NOT now be reversed.πŸ˜–
  • They will continue to drive out sane and traditional Labour parliamentarians and members.
  • The war has been lost --and remarkably swiftly.
  • So be it.                                                                                                                                 The Way Forward
  •  Tom Watson,Yvette Cooper,Hilary Benn and Keir Starmer must lead 50-100 current   members of the Parliamentary Party into a new Grouping--The Real Labour Party.
  • Condemn the Corbyn party's antisemitism.  
  • Hammer their intolerance and sectarianism.
  • Call out Corbyn's and McCluskey's bullying and misogyny.
  • Hand the keys to Party HQ and its bank accounts to the BolshevikiπŸ‘Ί
  •  Demand a Peoples Poll on Brexit as a first unifying Parliamentary policy.
  • Organise a mass campaign around the poll,tolerance,individual freedom and opportunity.
  • Put a marker down against future referendum and for a restoration of Representative Parliamentary Democracy.
  • Pledge to reform the first past the voting system and
  • To replace the house of Lords with a democratic second chamber
  • Create a party structure  that includes the paying of membership fees,commitment to party principles and 
  • Which bans Bolsheviks,Trots,George Galloway and other non democratic entryists.
  • Seek affiliation from Trades Unions,environmentalist and other civil organisations on the basis that these organisations meet announced democratic criteria
  • That excludes Unite under McCluskey
Ed: Cyclops do you really expect a trades union to affiliate with such such a breakaway REAL LABOUR party?
Cyclops:  McClusky stole his election
                He is despised by most other Union Leaders
                The tradition of British Trades Unionism is Democratic.

Step 1     Unions call for reconciliation and unity
Step 2     They sit on the sidelines,withholding money from both Labour parties
Step 3     They push back against McCluskey's increasingly frantic hectoring
Step 4     They call on Corbyn  McDonnell    Abbott   or whoever leads the rump to "stand down"                      in  the interest of unity
Step 5     The first union leader decides it it safe to back REAL LABOUR
Step 6      Others follow
Step 7     Money and foot soldiers follow   
                

  • Decline membership from Ed Milliband but welcome all other former Labour leaders.
  • Eschew faux democracy in leadership and national posts.
  • Alright let Miliband in,provided he apologises for what he has wrought.😧
  • Only paid up,authenticated members get to vote on Anything πŸ™‹
  • Anywhere

Once established under these parameters,we can squabble amongst ourselves in a democratic and respectful way.



ED: Setting up this new party will very likely allow for another Tory government.😟

That is a less awful outcome than a government of anti semitic,infantile Bolsheviks.
Given that the Tories will also tear them selves apart in the next referendum campaign           who knows......πŸ˜‰

Also please note Ed:

  • The rules for precipitating an election have been changed.
  • Arcane for most of us ordinary punters but 
  • In 2011 the UK established fixed term parliaments
  • The next election is due in May 2022
  • Not now possible for the Prime Minister simply to pick a time convenient for her.
  • Needs a two thirds majority to dissolve parliament [that's what they call it in Uk--don't ask] 
  • Or a vote of no confidence.



  • Currently the Tories plus the Ulstermen have a narrow majority
  • Therefore can see off vote of no confidence.
  • An early election after the formation of Real Labour [or even a simple independent faction seated in the Commons] would destroy them,the Bolsheviks and probably the LDP.
  • They comprise about forty five per cent of the votes
  • To vote to dissolve would be suicide.
  • So they will not do it😁


That means there could be three years for Real Labour to 
                                      Organise,Agitate and Educate
A lot longer than Momentum needed to take over. .
There will be no shortage of donors or local foot soldiers to finance and organise the new party.

        


Tommy[Watson] me boyo lets do it  ✊🌹
