The dark side of the West’s ‘humanitarianism’ – how Nato left boat people to die – maltatoday.com.mt.
The 19 interviews by Goldsmiths researchers into the ‘left-to-die-boat’ ignored by Nato vessels in the Mediterranean in April 2011 has determined that 72 migrants were ignored by all Nato and non-military entities encountered in the two weeks drifting slowly in the sea, despite a clear distress call.
The migrants’ vessel was established to have been within Nato’s maritime surveillance area for 15 days, drifting in Libyan territorial waters, while Nato patrolled the area to prevent the flow of arms and mercenaries and prevent attacks.

Stephen Kinsella: Are we paying too high a price for our stability? via @independent_ie.
I’m going to become violent with the next person to describe the €67.5bn loan Ireland received in 2010 as a bailout. It wasn’t a bailout for anyone except the private bondholders who took the debt of private, badly run, banks, who stood to lose everything, and ended up with all their money back, all to aid in the preservation of the stability of the European banking system.
