‘Assassin’ Wanted To Celebrate Ahmadinejad’s Life With Firecracker Says State News Agency
THAT grenade tossed at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran was not a grenade. Unless it was. News reports say – khabaronline.ir
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad survived an attack with a homemade explosive device on his motorcade during a visit to the western city of Hamadan on Wednesday, a source in his office said.
Heydar Moslehi, Iran’s intelligence minster, says (via ISNA):
“We have discovered some conspiracy plots backed by Israelis in the region.”
Well, Ahmadinejad does says that “Zionists” are threatening to kill him.
Anyhow, back to that grenade:
Iran’s state-run Press TV quoted unnamed government sources saying that “no such attack took place.”

In Pictures: Chelsea Clinton’s Royal Wedding To Produce Shirkers, Nazis And Slappers
CHELSEA Clinton’s wedding photos: The product of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s loins married Marc Mezvinsky before 500 guests in Rhinebeck, NY. Sky News says the events has been “dubbed America’s royal wedding”. In which case, expect Mr and Mrs Clinton-Mezvinksy to get divorced very soon, having given birth to in-bed freeloaders who marry a mix of Nazis, slappers and six-toed, chinless breeding stock. Anorak’s roving reporter says Chelsea is not intimidated by having Edward Mezvinsky as her future father-in-law. We have pictures:

EDL March In Westminster: Pictures And No Football
IN Westminster, something called the English Nationalist Alliance and the English Defence League marched in protest against Sharia law and Islamic fundamentalism within the UK. Theirs is an anti-Muslim message. Police made one arrest.
In other news, EDL member John Broomfield and six others have been arrested for an alleged plot to cause an explosion at a Bournemouth mosque. Mr Broomfield says five of the people arrested are in the EDL. All the arrested people were later released without charge.
Says Broomfield:
“While travelling home from work I was stopped and arrested by armed police. I approached a roundabout near Corfe Castle and there were about six cars in front of me.
“There was an unmarked police car in a lay-by, and within seconds of me stopping, police appeared from it, ran up the road and shot at my tyres and smashed the window in.”
“I was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause an explosion at a Bournemouth mosque.”

The President’s ‘Lies’ Over BP, Lockerbie And Al-Megrahi
DID BP lobby for the release of Lockerbie killer Abdel Baset al-Megrahi’s release to get a big money oil exploration agreement with Libya up and running? Did the Ameicans know all about it and agree so long as it was all kept quiet? Is the talk of an investigastion into the thing just hot air?
Anorak reader Cheryl writes of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s non meeting:
Anyone besides me ‘smell a skunk in the woodpile’? Up until Monday morning the Hearings were still scheduled, as I’ve been checking the schedule since I planned to attend them. To be honest with you, the moment the news came out on Sunday re this Administration’s knowledge of his being released before he was and their agreement to it there was no doubt in my mind the Hearing would be canceled.

Ejup Ganic, ‘Racist’ Serbia’s ‘Incompetence’ And The Srebrenica Massacre
WE spotted former Bosnian leader Ejup Ganic outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court accompanied by his daughter Emina where a judge decided not to extradite him to Serbia over alleged war crimes.
The 64-year-old was accused of ordering a series of atrocities committed in Sarajevo during fighting in 1992.
Ganic is accused by Serbia of involvement in the alleged killing of 18 soldiers in a Yugoslav army convoy in 1992, at the start of the bloody war in Bosnia.
But in a hearing at London’s City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court, District Judge Timothy Workman said there was evidence the trial could be “politically motivated” and he ruled against extradition.

Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, America’s Fraud And The 270 Abused
THE Americans are up in arms on the matter of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi’s freedom on compassionate grounds. He killed 270 people but was feeling terminally ill so he was set free. Megrahi was given three months to live. He remains alive many more months later.
In August 2008, we wrote:
This has very little to do with the dying man. This is about dark dealings. Dealings which have involved state representatives, weapons dealers oil suppliers and buyers…almost from the day Megrahi was sentenced. There will be expressions of horror and anger from the government of the USA. Do not be fooled, this release is not possible without a nod and a wink from the Washington mandarins.
As AGW now writes:
How can anyone not understand the special relationship which exists between the UK and the USA is one of exchange of dirty little secrets? It is supported by the occasional financial bone dropped under the table to the ever eager and snuffling lap dogs which are the UK petro-arms dealers and their grubby little fleas, the UK politicians
The Scottish Justice Minister was a happy, contented and healthy man playing at a political second career game before all this. He was finessed into a stupid, apparently solo, release decision. Kenny MacAskill was using his discretion under Scottish law on compassionate grounds.

BNP’s Nick Griffin Is Not The Royal Family’s Right Sort Of Nazi: Garden Party Photos
BNP leader Nick Griffin was not at the Queen’s Garden Party of July 22, 2010. He wasn’t there the previous year, either. If Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t to get him in garden, she will have to try harder. The lure of garden party isn’t working.
Anorak suggests she issue a covert invite, possibly in German. The difficulty is having the hounds kept quiet while a fox’s is tail is pinned to Griffin’s suit bottoms. One ruse is to use not a real fox but a photo of Erwin Rommel attached to a short piece of string hooked into a huge pork sausage. Will Griffin take the bait..?
Says a Palace insider:
“It was all so different in King Edward VIII’s day…”
But Andrew Brons was there:
At the National Front, Brons was a close ally of Richard Verrall, the author of the Holocaust-denial tract Did Six Million Really Die?, who was vice-chairman. In 1981, while Brons was chairman, the NF endorsed We are National Front, a pamphlet carrying an introduction from Verrall. It had photographs of Brons and Verrall as well as a picture of a gorilla and a black man stating: “These two creatures look the same, don’t they?”
Conservative MP Julian Lewis says people “do not wish to rub shoulders with neo-Nazis” at garden parties.
No. At least the knobs don’t wish to since the Nazis lost…

Nick Griffin Banned From Queen’s Garden Party: Pictures
BNP Leader Nick Griffin never made it to the Queen’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. But the Palace ruled that he was using it for “party political purposes“. He had earlier called it a “highly symbolic breakthrough” for the BNP. Such is the power of tea.
Last year he never went either. And next year. He probably won’t go. This will go on until the public gets the message that standing in the Queen’s garden sipping over-brewed tea while Prince Philip screams “Pull!” and “Release the hounds!” from his bedroom window is the stuff of dreams.
Better, perhaps, that Mr Griffin meet the Queen on a Stag stalking expedition or on the cross channel ferry to France on August 14th at 754 pm sharp.

Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi’s Life And Crimes In Pictures: Lockerbie, MacAskill And Lies
ON August 20th, 2009, Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill approved the releases of Mr Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber. This week, the issue of the mass murderer’s release from jail is being debated by David Cameron and Barack Obama. They will achieve nothing other than grandstanding.
Anorak told you what would happen.
And we told you again.
Yesterday, MacASkill was on a visit to HMP Shotts in Shotts, Lanarkshire. Prisoners may like to tell Mr MacAskill that they murdered 270 people and are feeling so ill they’d like to go home. Ask him. See what he says.
Kenny MacAskill said back then:
“On the evening of 21 December 1988 a heinous crime was perpetrated. It claimed the lives of 270 innocent civilians. Four days before Christmas, men, women and children going about their daily lives were cruelly murdered.
“They included 11 from one small Scottish town. That town was Lockerbie – a name that will forever be associated with the worst terrorist atrocity ever committed on UK soil.
“A prisoner transfer application has been submitted by the Government of Libya seeking the transfer of Mr Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi.
“The man convicted of those offences in the Scottish courts. He has also now sought to be released on compassionate grounds due to his prostate cancer that is terminal.”

When Obama Met Cameron: Pictures
PRIME Minister David Cameron held a news conference with US President Barack Obama, at the Whitehouse in Washington. The talk, on the record, was of BP, Lockerbie and special relationship. Off the record, the pair chatted about Barack’s chances of getting a walk-on part in James ‘Dave’ Cameron’s next film; how Louisiana can be sold back to France; and how the USA beat England 1-1- in the World Cup…

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, David Cameron, BP And Barack Hussein Obama’s War
DAVID Cameron in the US meeting with US VeePee Joe Biden and talking about Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, who will one day get his own page in medical history books alongside Ernest Saunders, the famous Alzheimer’s patient, and Lazarus.
Al-Megrahi was released from jail with the three months to live. That was11 months ago. In April he had four weeks to live. Last October 2009, he died. Oddly, he had already died. He was then, allegedly, traded for oil.
Cameron says BP played no part in the convicted terrorist’s return to Libya to die (one day). Dave says Al-Megrahi should have died in Scottish jail:
“I agree that the decision to release al-Megrahi was wrong. I said it was wrong at the time. It was the Scottish Government that took that decision. They took it after proper process and what they saw as the right, compassionate reasons. I just happen to think it was profoundly misguided.”
What of the BP gusher – you know, Barack Hussein Obama? That’s Barack Hussein Obama who managed to call BP not BP but by its old name Of British Petroleum in a ham-fisted attempt to undo the so-called special relationship and make the company look foreign and therefore dangerous to the American good. What of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, then?

Jon Snow And Zac Goldsmith Create News From Nothing
JON Snow, knowing journalist, and Zac Goldsmith, knowing politico, are on Channel 4 news. Goldsmith wants to talk about his stuff. Snow wants to talk about his stuff.
It’s all jackets and stickers. It’s all two vain men going on the telly to bee seen to be clever.
It is painful and insightful viewing.
Snow fails to realise that no-one has to talk to the media. Goldsmith fails to realise that wisdom is listening. It’s not a”travesty of the truth”. It’s just what TV news has become – boorish, cocky and full of nothing…

Phillip Hollobone MP Is Beyond Parody: Ban The Burqa And No ID
BAN the burqa. Fashion matters! Phillip Hollobone MP for Kettering says he won’t meet women wearing the full burqa. He has launched a Private Member’s Bill to ban women in the UK wearing the full face veil.
Says Mr Hollobone in the Independent:
“I would ask her to remove her veil. If she said: ‘No’, I would take the view that she could see my face, I could not see hers, I am not able to satisfy myself she is who she says she is. I would invite her to communicate with me in a different way, probably in the form of a letter.”
Because in a letter you know exactly with whom you are talking?

Lord Taylor Of Warwick Feels Sick: Fishing Expeditions And Alleged Fiddles
IN what some are hailing as a victory for equality, a black Tory peer has been charged with fiddling his parliamentary expenses. Lord Taylor of Warwick faces six charges of false accounting. One in the eye for the racists, eh, readers. Top-level politicis is open to anyone so long as you’re vain and greedy enough enough.
Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer QC, puts the news in legalise:
“The first charge alleges that, on or about 31 March 2006, Lord Taylor dishonestly submitted claims for overnight subsistence and car mileage stating that his main place of residence was outside London when he did not reside at the address he had given but actually resided in London.
“The subsequent charges allege that similar claims were made on 3 July 2006, 31 October 2006, 5 April 2007, 2 July 2007 and 31 October 2007. In total the charges allege a sum in excess of £11,000 was dishonestly claimed over this period.”

Peter Mandelson’s Memoirs Are Slime Fiction: Pictures
HERE’S Lord Peter Mandelson posing for photographers at the launch of his memoirs ‘The Third Man‘ at Hatchards, in Piccadilly, central London. Hatchards, we said. Not hatchets.
The highlight of the entire book is Tony Blair, allegedly, calling Gordon Brown “mad, bad and dangerous”.
Had only Mandy released that quote during the electisn Brown might have looked charismatic, rather than a vain man who refused until the last moment to test the public reaction to his inherited leadership of a – get his – democracy.
As it was Mandy ran the Labour election campaign in which Gordon Brown would be voted in as PM. Mandelson knew Brown was crap yet still worked to keep him in his job as Labour Party leader.
The Times is serialising the book published by Rupert Murdoch’s Random House brand. Why bother buying the book when you can buy the paper and get the edited highlights?
As the first line goes: “He was the best of slimes, he was the worst of slimes…”

Baroness Helen Newlove Enters The House Of Lords: Pictures And A Husband Not Forgotten
HELEN Newlove, widow of murdered father-of-three Garry Newlove, took her seat in the House of Lords as a Conservative Peer. Baroness Newlove, from Warrington, has campaigned against drink-related violence since her husband was kicked to death by a gang of teenagers in August 2007. Three teenagers were found guilty of the murder of the father-of-three. Two of them are Stephen Paul Sorton, of Honister Avenue, Warrington, and Jordan Cunliffe, 16, formerly of Rowland Close, Warrington. Also convicted of the murder of Mr Newlove was Adam Swellings, 19, of Meredith Street, Crewe. The case and the inauguration of a woman who did in pictures…

Barack Obama’s Tuxedo Killer Wants New Prison JLS Tattoos
WE first encountered Daniel Cowart, 20, in October 2008, when along with Paul Schlesselman, 18, he planned to murder Barack Obama and tens of black people.
The plan to kill Obama was foolproof:
In separate interviews with investigators, the men said that they planned to speed their vehicle toward Obama while “shooting at him from the windows”.
Having driven to meet Obama in a car bearing a swastika and “numerous racially motivated words and symbols” (written in chalk), they would blend in seamlessly with the black scene by dressing in all white tuxedos and top hats”.
Amazingly, the Fred Astaire White Supremacists were spotted. In court, he pleaded guilty. He faces 12-18 years inside.
Now Cowart is back in the news. His lawyer “has filed a motion asking that he be transported to the Madison County Jail for tattoo alteration before he is sent to federal prison”.

Artist Kills Nelson Mandela: Pictures
PRESENTING, the death of Nelson Mandela, a reverie in inks by Yiull Damaso. Nelson Mandela is not dead. But let’s imagine what he will look like he is dead and being cut up by the mortician.
The image is a take on Rembrandt’s 17th-century masterpiece The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp. You will see Mandela dressed in a loincloth. Nkosi Johnson, an Aids activist who died aged 12, points to a Mandela arm, which carries no flesh. Looking on are Desmond Tutu, FW de Klerk, Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma. Waiting outside in the corridor, we imagine, are hundreds of celebs keen to meet Mandela and get an anecdote for their next appearance on daytime telly.

David Cameron’s School Dinner: Pictures
PRIME Minister David Cameron met with school children during lunch with the pupils at Newquay Junior School.
Watching Cameron eat is nothing new. On the campaign trail we saw Super Cam with a smiley face biscuit and a sandwich.
Eating in public is not easy. You can look at a gallery of some famous face who have tied it here. But Cameron manages it pretty well. But will the electorate swallow his line on reducing the school building programme:
“We have come in, we have inherited this situation. Half of the school projects will go ahead but half of them can’t go ahead. We have had to announce what those are. Now that is not easy and I know it is not popular. But it is because Labour government left the country in such a complete mess, with the biggest budget deficit in the G20.”
Isn’t a good school more about the teachers than the buildings? Why not scrap all the building programmes and spend the cash on the teachers?

NASA Meets Muslims In Space – Obama Reaches Boldly Out
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden tells al-Jazeera that Obams detailed him to reach out ot Muslims – and not only those in space.
Jules Crittenden prepares the speech: “People of the Muslim World … We come in peace!”
“When I became the NASA administrator — or before I became the NASA administrator — he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering …”
