Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5R.I.P. Matt. I wish we had a few more folks like him walking about right now.
I wonder what Matt would have said about the 1.25 billion we just gave to unsecured bondholders in Anglo irish bank while floating kites about cutting off all social welfare safety net payments to 400,000+ people if those people didn't get non existent jobs in a recession
..of the term 'bank robbery', maybe we could award him a posthumous Order of Merit for outstanding leadership towards a more sane system than exclusive imperial cartel rapacity. Sounds like a commemoration of some sort is in order.
I awoke this morning, 3rd April 2012, and somehow thought of Matt. I have absolutely no idea why I should have thought of him, no idea at all. As a onetime member of the SRSP, led by Donald Anderson, I met Matt on many occasions. The John McLean Society meetings in the CPGB club on the Clyde were special times, and we held many a fine meeting there.
Why he came to my mind today I will never know, suffice to say I entered his name in my PC and was both surprised to see him mentioned in so many sites and sorry to learn of his passing.
Scotland and people the world over has lost a true friend, a man of the people certainly and a never to be forgotten patriot.
RIP Matt,
Maybe it was a reminder to keep up the struggle. The best memorial to Matt is to let the bosses see that we are a Risen People.

Some with a fountain pen.

Tree’s for Life/ Alzheimer’s Scotland
http://www.treesforlife.org.uk/groves/grovepage.php?id=5891
There is now a tree grove set up in my dads name that will be planted this Autumn as part of the regrowing of the natural Caledonian forest.
All trees planted are native trees and none of them will ever be cut down.
We all must one day return to the earth and so let it be in memory of Matt that from one strong oak, comes many others. As those trees grow, and flourish, so too will the hopes and dreams of man, that one day the world o’er shall brothers be for aw that.
So far friends and family at the funeral have donated £200, £100 of which has gone to Alzhiemers Scotland, and £100 of which to plant the grove.
http://www.alzscot.org/
Alzhiemer’s Scotland and ‘Matt’s girls’ did such good work in Matt’s final years to support him to live the independent life he chose to live until his final days.
In doing the work they do, AS help liberate people from the otherwise crippling effects of Alzhiemers. Without their good work into research and care provision, there would be no future for those of us who contract the disease.
Through theirs and others work, new branches of hope for the future are being discovered every day - http://www.case.edu/think/breakingnews/breakthrough.html - and thousands of others like my father are spared the destitution of institutional care homes by the work of the many dedicated support workers who assist those people like my father to continue living and thriving in the community.
If you would like to donate to either charity in Matt’s name, please do so. You can either add some trees to his grove (only £5 a tree) or make a donation to Alzheimers Scotland in memorandum to Matt. In doing so the good work, love and liberty Matt dedicated his entire life to will continue.
