When a PhD on the "politics of smell" trended on X recently it exposed how elites use pretentious woke gobbledegook to exclude the people from power, much like previous generations used Latin and Greek, says Steven Tucker.

Jimmy Breslin Uncovers Iraq Link to Bloody Sunday

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Sunday March 23, 2003 11:07author by Mike Tidmus Report this post to the editors

Exerpt: "I come away from Friday with a reason to personally hate the war. "I received Friday a report that the commander of British troops who are invading Iraq is general Sir Mike Jackson. He was an officer in the Parachute Regiment in Derry, in Northern Ireland, in 1972. He came out of the Intelligence Division in the Holywood Barracks outside of Belfast."

And believe me we know that already around here - Ask Eamonn McCann about it if you don't believe Me - 'Ulster Says No' again but this time for reasons that are uniting and cementing the peace process. Good on You McCann - A good Man for the hard road of Civil Rights for All

Kevin Myres loves the war but will not criticise the editorials in the paper he works for - Why?

Is it ok to criticise Journalists Gently?

Well Eamonn Dunphy was a test case and the only thing he lost was his drivers liscence (for a decade?)

Some young RTS Sober individual should present him with a longboard.

Perhaps, it should have read "J.B. Discovers* Iraq Link to Bloody Sunday and Brings It to the Attention of the American People." I thought that was too verbose.

*As in " it has been brought to his attention."

Most of the US (and UK) media has simply caved into Bush and his C.R.A.P. (Cheney-Rumsfeld-Ashcroft-Powell) and started repeating the party line: "We support the troops. God bless America."

Don't be so quick to dump on the poor Titmouse guy - from some of his other postings I had the impression he is an Irish-Canadian ...
What he obviously meant to say was "Breslin uncovers Bloody Sunday background of British Officer involved in Iraq War" ....
I think that's clear enough even if the title was a bit clumsy - let's not get carried away splitting hairs there are more important things to do right now ....

Of course the story is not all that surprising, a top brass who "distinguished" himself carrying out British ruling class policy in Ulster 30 odd years ago is a safe pair of hands who can be trusted with current missions elsewhere ...

After all British involvement in Iraq goes back a long way ....

LONDON (Reuters) - Americans often refer to the latest conflict in Iraq as the second Gulf war. For their British allies, however, it is at least the fourth.


Cemeteries in both Baghdad and the southern port city of Basra contain graves of thousands of British soldiers killed trying to occupy the country or subdue its population during the last century.


From World War One, through the Nazi era to the 1991 Gulf War, the British have seldom been far away when the major decisions have been taken on Iraq's future.


They invaded the country during World War One, ruled it by mandate in the 1920s and were back again during World War Two to wrestle back power from a pro-Nazi Iraqi regime.

Ireland, historically, has served as the training ground for imperialism. This was true of the US 'low intensity conflict' in Central and South America which was first used in Ireland by the British.

This story was posted yesterday under the headlne; Bloody Sunday veteran leads Iraq invasion force. Killing innocent Irish people qualifies him for the job.
