BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

"PEOPLE AROUND THE GOVERNMENT KNEW" INSISTS CRANKY CLINTON.

THEY KNEW THAT SHE WAS USING A PRIVATE SERVER.

CRANKY WON'T NAME THESE PEOPLE -- MAYBE THEY DON'T REALLY EXIST.

BUT WHETHER "PEOPLE AROUND THE GOVERNMENT KNEW" OR NOT, SHE GOT CAUGHT LYING.

CRANKY SCOFFED TO THESE REPORTERS THAT IT WOULD MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.

"I'M LIKE AL CAPONE," SHE BLUSTERED. "THEY'LL NEVER PIN ANYTHING ON ME! NEVER!"

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

The assault on Falluja continues.

In Wednesday's snapshot, we noted our disbelief in western press reports that the assault on Falluja had ceased (due to concerns for 20,000 kids trapped there). Thursday's snapshot noted that Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had stated the assault had never been halted.

Friday?

Even the US State Dept was going to town on western media outlets.

State Dept spokesperson Mark Toner, "First of all, beginning with Fallujah. I wanted to update you on the ongoing effort to retake Fallujah. Contrary to some media reports, efforts have not stalled."

Poor western media, so foolish, so stupid.

It's why they also struggle to report reality -- like the War Crimes taking place in the 'liberation' of Falluja.

‏@Malcolmite

These are the "non sectarian" Shia Hashd militia abusing Sunni clerics. This is the Iraqi Shia alternative to ISIS

To the War Crimes, the US government turns a blind eye.

And, when questions are raised about the war crimes, a deaf ear.

From Friday's State Dept press briefing:

QUESTION: Similar to Said’s question but involving the PMF, the Popular Mobilization Force.

MR TONER: Sure.

QUESTION: If – we’ve got some eyewitness accounts from a camp south of Fallujah, people who have escaped the fighting there, saying that the PMF has separated the men from the women and children, beating, handcuffing for security screening purposes the men. And then the government denies any of this abuse is happening. Does that suggest that the government is reluctant or incapable of reining in some of the purported abuses of the PMF?

MR TONER: Again – and I’m aware of the, as you talked about it, the separation. I’m hesitant to get too into the weeds in terms of what’s happening on the ground there. My understanding is that part of that is simply an effort to ensure that members of [the Islamic State] aren’t trying to escape Fallujah. So there has – there does need to be some measure of screening conducted. Now, how that’s conducted is certainly important, and whether it’s done respectfully is also important, and we’re looking at that closely as we see these allegations.

QUESTION: There are quite a few warnings from human rights groups and others saying that the potential for abuse is imminent as the city and then other cities are cleared. Is there some kind of mechanism beyond the good faith assurances from Baghdad that they are attempting to rein in the PMF; as was alluded to earlier, that --

MR TONER: Sure.

QUESTION: -- a lot of this – that sectarian division is what lead to some of these – ISIL to be able to take hold, et cetera?

MR TONER: I’m – we are in close contact with the command and control of the Iraqi Security Forces and – as well as the Iraqi Government as they conduct these operations. This is an Iraqi-led operation, and we’ve been very clear about that. But we still believe that the government is committed to conducting an operation that is respectful of the civilian population, and we’ve seen it by the fact that they have opened some of these safe passageways for civilians to escape from the city. But it’s something, obviously, we’re keeping an eye on.

Yeah, let's not get into 'the weeds' of War Crimes, let's not get too hung up on the persecution and brutality against civilians, right?

No one will ever remember Barack Obama as a human rights president.

She's full of herself

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

CRANKY CLINTON LIKES TO TALK . . . ABOUT HERSELF.

AND THIS HAS SOME ANALYSTS ARGUING THAT SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO TALK ABOUT OTHERS.

REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY SCOFFED AT THE NOTION, "IN THE LAST 13 YEARS, I'VE WRITTEN TWO BOOKS -- BOTH ABOUT MYSELF. WHAT ELSE WOULD I TALK ABOUT? JOBS? PLEASE, I'M SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN ANYTHING GOING ON IN THE VOTERS DULL, DULL LIVES."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Who should we trust on Iraq?

Liars and whores?

There are so many liars and so many whores that it can be difficult to know who is who.

We'll name a name in a minute but let's show how common sense can tip you off that you're dealing with a liar or a whore.

THE GUARDIAN published this laughable passage:

Falluja is the birthplace of Isis. Unknown to many, Falluja fell under jihadi control in January 2014 after months of violent protests and conflict, long before Isis (a rebranded version of al-Qaida in Iraq) became as known to the world as it is today. Retaking Falluja will deliver a psychological blow to Isis, given the city’s symbolic importance. It will also generate great momentum for the broader military campaign and effort to liberate Mosul, Isis’s principal stronghold in Iraq, where it declared the establishment of its “caliphate” in June 2014. But it remains unclear how much Isis and its fighters, who are heavily assimilated into the local population and have significant local support, will invest in any counter-offensive in Falluja.

Did you catch the lie?

If you missed it, the lie is "after months of violent protests."

They were not violent protests -- unless you're speaking of Nouri al-Maliki's assault on protesters.

Here's another reality, there's no link.

The claim is put forward without a link.

Now there can't be a link because they weren't violent protests.

But that's how you know you're dealing with a liar and/or whore.

They start tossing out links to this or that assertion but on the really big one, they don't provide a damn link and hope to hell you don't notice.

In this case, our liar is Ranj Alaadin (or whore) and, here's another tip for you, anyone who really cares about Iraq today? They're not working with the Tony Blair 'Faith' Foundation.

The Islamic State did not sneak into Falluja.

And long before the article Ranj links to about the Islamic State taking control of Falluja, you had them physically announcing their presence.

Why?

Residents were blocking the main road between Baghdad and Falluja in their protests, trying to make Nouri al-Maliki respond to the peaceful protests.

And Nouri began threatening the protesters even more than before at which point the Islamic State went public and stated they would protect the protesters.

You have them showing up, all in black, surveying the protest on that main road.

This is in the archives because unlike THE GUARDIAN, we covered the year long protests every damn Friday when the people turned out.

We usually had to depend on Arabic media to cover those protests because the western media was not interested in them at all.

So the world really doesn't need a flunkie of War Criminal Tony Blair emerging to lie about Iraq.

Yes, in December of 2012, a Sunni politician (Saleh al-Mutlaq) got things hurled at him in Ramadi (not Falluja) by the Sunni protesters. That's because al-Mutlaq was an appeaser to Nouri al-Maliki who was persecuting the Sunnis. (An appeaser? While Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi became a heroic figure to many Sunnis because of Nouri's persecution of him, Saleh early on made a deal with Nouri to stop the same persecution.) That's also not violence, I'm so sorry.

Nouri having reporters kidnapped from their lunch because they covered the protests, having them beaten while they were in his forces custody, that's violence.

The Hawija massacre?

That's violence.

And if you're too lazy/busy to go through the archives for a year of snapshots, you can just refer to Renad Mansour's AL JAZEERA report from today:

It was the first major city to be taken by ISIL, in other words, its residents were the first to allow for this alternative to the central government. This sense of disenfranchisement among Fallujah's residents grew rapidly during former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's second term, 2010-2014, when overcentralisation policies marginalised the local population.
In spirit with the so-called Arab Spring, local residents took to the streets to voice their grievances and protest against Maliki's policies, including his targeting of their leadership. In response, the former premier opened fire. Fallujah was the first city to see Iraqi forces killing protesters. As repression grew, so did resistance. This eventually paved the way for the re-emergence of ISIL, only a few years after al-Qaeda was kicked out of the city.

That's the reality that a Tony Blair flunkie won't ever tell you.

Nor, apparently, will the western press.

The western press spent the bulk of 2010 through 2014 -- thug Nouri's second term as prime minister of Iraq -- covering for Nouri by refusing to report what was really going on.
