offsite link Energy Price Cap Goes Up Again ? and No, it?s Not Because of the Price of Gas Thu Aug 28, 2025 07:00 | Paul Homewood
UK energy costs are set to rise again. Labour ministers claim it's due to the price of gas, but that's nonsense, says Paul Homewood: gas prices are flat in real terms. It's all green subsidies.

Hariri's Game (part 3) Hezbollah mobilise dwarfing previous pacifist gig.

category international | politics / elections | other press author Tuesday March 08, 2005 19:02author by - Report this post to the editors

a.k.a. "the mad mullah revolution"

It has now been less than a month since the billionaire former president of the Lebanon died in a car bomb.
No formal investigation has established the guilty party or even type of explosive used despite requests for such an investigation from the UN, public, EU and USA.
In the meantime thousands of pro-democracy protesters demanded that Syria leave, (in honour of a previous UN resolution) and late last Saturday the Syrian government bowed to this pressure-

and has gathered its troops into a small valley area to the east of the state. Russia has backed Syria's diplomacy as its traditional friend with a big stick and sales books of SAMs.

Now Hezbollah, an armed faction party to the civil war which waged in Lebanon which ostensibly caused the Syrian forces to enter, and caused Irish Soldiers to be stationed, and serve in the Lebanon have mobilised a demonstration.

Hundreds of thousands of their supporters have filled Beirut in support of Syria.

Hezbollah used to operate news and tv sites, but thes are no longer available in Europe, being taken off line for incitement to hatred, and diffusing terrorist messages and information and being linked to fundamentalist recruitment in the last year in a test case which originated in France and was applied to all EU states with concern for that sort of thing. (like of all the Union) (we're concerned about that type of thing). -

Please note, this demo. is much much bigger
than the "people power" "cedar revolution" which i told you about in
Hariri's game part 2- "the government of Lebanon quit"
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68813

and if you're still into the obituary question-
Hariri's game part 1 "Mr lebanon is dead".

http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68645

None of you now have any excuse to know nothing about the Lebanon. And please don't believe that "people power" or democracy comes to civil war politics just because a few hundred bright young things wave banners and flags.

Let us as Irish men and women all hope for peace in the Levant and Lebanon
