Conor McGregor, the epitome of someone with a big mouth and a tiny brain.

The Hamas attack on Oct 7th was a surprise to Israel security forces but amazingly it seems that investors in Israel knew all about it. Does anyone think this is credible???

Very interesting cheers, albeit your comment is misleading.

The article doesn't say it was investors in Israel who did the short selling,  but that it was stocks on the Tel Aviv stock exchange, and that could be done from anywhere in the world. The Hamas leaders in Qatar or Iranians would seem likely possibilities.

A couple of interesting articles on the BBC today;

Does anybody believe for a second that story about the rapes?

The Israelis have been caught lying and fabricating so many stories about Oct 7th eg babies cooked in ovens and hung on clothes lines, that they have subsequently been unable to produce any evidence for, that it is shameful for the BBC to have this nonsense as their lead article on their news.

If there was an iota of truth in this you can be sure it would not have taken 2 months for the 'evidence' to be presented.

This situation has pulled the curtain aside to reveal the wholesale corruption that has become the bedrock on which western democracy operates. And the attendant nauseating hypocrisy of their claim to be the world's good guys whilst supplying bombs that are being used to carpet bomb civilians with tens of thousands of babies, women and children murdered.

The Israeli's are gifted billions of dollars annually courtesy of the US taxpayer, they spend most of this on weapons from US weapons manufacturers, who in turn spend enormous sums of money greasing the palms of politicians, on both sides of the aisle.

Who then vote further billions annually to the Israelis, no strings attached other than they must buy American weapons, but they can use them to kill whoever they like.

The money is also used for more straightforward bribes to politicians 'campaign funds' which have little oversight, and to fund lobby groups like AIPAC, to which every major political figure in the USA is beholden. When AIPAC issue an invitation there is no-one in American political life in any position of influence that will say no.

The taxpayers' dollar is also used by Israel to compromise politicians in case the carrot approach doesn't work.

Hence you create a scenario where a massive racist and blatant anti islamic sc**bag [Steve Seldovitz] can become a National Security Advisor to Obama. You can be sure that the DoD and NSA are packed with similar headers, a quick look at Biden's WH shows that it is peopled with Zionists.

Large amounts of this taxpayer money has also been used by Israel to buy up influence in US media companies to the extent that they are all more or less controlled by Zionists, hence none of this corruption is ever mentioned let alone investigated by any mainstream media outlet. And in fact they take a blatant pro Israel stance whether the facts warrant it or not.


The rest of the western world toe the American line although there is also plenty of straightforward bribery directly involved in other countries, certainly in the British system were it is nearly as blatant as the US situation with Friends of Israel and their 'factfinding' trips... aka holidays. The ease with which they were able to ditch Jeremy Corbyn on an antisemitism charge shows the influence these people have to get rid of a political leader in another country just because he advocated for a Palestinian state.

The only people who benefit from this is the US military-industrial complex, to the tune of c$800bn/annum [not all for Israel of course] and the corrupt politicians who are siphoning millions from the people.

This has led to a series of disasters in US foreign policy over the last 70 years. I would struggle to name interventions that have worked in USAs favour since WW2, maybe the Berlin airlift and Cuban Missile Crisis.

Completely mad policies like subverting democracies because you don't like the person elected and invading other countries on manufactured grounds have become the norm whilst still holding up the beacon of freedom as the leader of the free world and ignoring the stench of the millions of people who have perished by american guns and bombs.

The curtain has been pulled aside, will this be the beginning of the end for western democracy as the world's policeman?

Surely their replacement could do no worse?

Anyone who has had the misfortune to work in an organisation with useless leadership will immediately recognise how the onfield performances are a reflection of the organisation as a whole. Feel really sorry for the succession of managers who have come in and had to deal with that shit show.

The onfield performances will never improve consistently whilst the same incompetents remain in charge.

Never heard anything but top notch feedback re Deeds. Was always going to make the step up from exceptional player to exceptional coach/manager.

Cheers NE
what way does relegation to intermediate work then ?
Bottom in each group down ?

No.
Bottom two are in danger.
I'm assuming it's Group A 7th v Group B 8th and vice versa.

There's only 7 in each group.

Has form been a good predictor in any previous world cups?

In summary, what's needed for Ireland to win the Rugby World Cup is to not have to play any good teams before the final.

Their record against lower ranked teams in previous WCs means they'd inevitably win it if the draw had been kinder. 

Think 6th plays 7th from 2 groups, with 2 losers going down to leave a 12 team top tier next year, not sure if there's playoffs for winners with top intermediate teams to decide promotion.

I believe Toyota have stopped investing in electric car research and are instead switching to hydrogen.
Toyota were/are the leaders in hybrid so I'd say they are onto something they believe to be commercially viable.

Yeah, it'd burn the c**k aff ye if you did!!

Good luck to the hurlers tomorrow.
