Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear

This delightful couple of self-professed jihadis call the EDL's Tommy Robinson a "paedophile" - surely this is actionable, declare Israel a terrorist state - completely untrue, state that Israel want to wipe out the Palestinians - also untrue although Hamas do regularly call for the destruction of Israel and the death of Jews.

However, quite the most bizarre claim is that Tommy Robinson has supported the "Israelification of Britain by allowing Zionist fascists to hijack the foreign policy of our country" and that "our boys are fighting wars for Israel". The UK is increasingly anti-Israel and the Foreign Office is as Arabist as ever.

It was also odd to hear the claim that Tommy Robinson's master was sitting "in Tel Aviv". Someone should inform these two self-professed jihadis that if Tommy Robinson were controlled by the Israeli government (something that I sincerely doubt is the case) then his 'master' would be sitting in Jerusalem because that is where the Israeli parliament, government and supreme court have been sited since 1949. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, surely the two self-confessed jihadis should surely know that.

The two self-confessed jihadis make another claim that I really hope is not true:

"There is no such thing as militant Islam, it's only Islam. And our religion is perfect... There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim, there is also no such thing as an extremist Muslims, we are just Muslims. And as Muslims we embrace every part of our religion and our religion will never change."

I do find it scary and depressing that people can believe such rubbish and that other people pay them any heed.

When a tornado strikes

'"The Minicks of Manchester were on their way to Snap Fitness on Broad Street in Dexter when they found themselves in the heart of the tornado that ripped through the village early Thursday evening. After driving around in the pounding hail looking for a place to hide, they found themselves at the Village Car Wash and Laundry on Second Street.

From Metro Airport on Friday morning, Chris, 43, recalled the minute they will never forget."

Are you worried about Iran having nuclear weapons?

Investors.com report that:

'Iran is speeding up its nuclear materials production and moving it underground amid reports that the regime is eight weeks from atomic bomb capability. Doomsday, anyone?

Tehran announced Wednesday that it will triple its production of high-grade uranium and relocate enrichment operations underground.

This comes just days after the Rand Corp. determined that the Islamofascist government is less than two months from being able to build a nuclear explosive, and that only an occupation force — not just airstrikes — can stop it.

On Friday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeated his demand that Israel go away. "As long as the Zionist regime exists, if only on a small piece of land in Palestine, the region will not see tranquility," he declared at the grave of the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Year after year, the American people have made it clear they view a nuclear Iran as an unacceptable risk, and the most recent results of the IBD/TIPP Poll, shown above, found that those sentiments remain strong.

Yet the poll also shows a loss of confidence in our government's ability to prevent this terrorist-sponsoring state from joining the nuclear family.

In the years during which Iran has moved toward weapons of mass destruction, the free nations have irresponsibly played a kind of nuclear "hot potato," expecting someone else — usually Israel — to stop Tehran. But Israel itself is not immune to the trigger shyness: Last month, ex-Mossad chief Meir Dagan said an Israeli attack on Iran would be a "stupid thing."

The fact remains that in eight weeks, thanks to all the dithering, a fanatical Islamist state may have nukes, along with missiles to carry them — and terrorist friends willing to smuggle them across borders.

How does the free world respond to this latest series of seemingly never-ending disturbing events in Iran? "This announcement is a provocation," deduced the French foreign ministry regarding the tripling of uranium production. No kidding, Inspector Clouseau.

And the leader of the free world? At a press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President Obama said Tuesday:

"We agreed that if the International Atomic Energy Agency this week determines again that Iran is continuing to ignore its international obligations, then we will have no choice but to consider additional steps, including potentially additional sanctions, to intensify the pressure on the Iranian regime."

He'll think about more of the sanctions that for years have served to apply no pressure at all on the fanatics ruling Iran.

This is a Hitler moment for the world — except that Hitler couldn't incinerate a city. And as in the 1930s, the free world is in a dangerous daze.'

Should we be worried? Is there anything we can do to stop Iran? What is going to happen, is this as scary as it seems?


Thanks to Theo Spark for the spot and also for linking to one of my pieces again, I was worried that I was out of favour!

Was the Japanese earthquake predicted and what's coming next?

Real Agenda make some big claims, that I have no way of verifying and some worrying predictions.

'A couple of days ago, astrophysicist and meteorologist Piers Corbyn, who conducts weather, climate and tectonic plates studies based on solar activity supported the version on the video by saying not only that solar activity is part of the cause of the current ‘planetary unrest’, but also that the Super Full Moon (the moon is passing by closer to Earth in March) is also contributing to the such geological and magnetic activity.

“Christchurch, South Island New Zealand was struck by a damaging shallow level Earthquake on 21 Feb and is suffering severe aftershocks,” cites Weatheraction.com. “This event follows the world wide increase in volcanism and earthquakes in the last year or two and confirms the general statistical fact that more – and more serious – earthquakes, and volcanic activity, tend to occur around solar cycle minima.”

...

The tectonic events, says Earthquake Watch, are due to major solar activity, characterized by X class solar flares occurring both in the northern and southern hemispheres of the sun. According to the video, solar activity has been increasing and some of that activity has been more directly facing planet Earth (in the northern part of the Sun, 24-26 degrees north latitude), which makes its effects more meaningful. “Once the solar spot moves from the Earth-facing position, we’re gonna be receiving more solar winds”, said the author, who warned the most likely region on planet Earth to experience a serious earthquake would be the japanese islands.

...

Solar winds that currently blow at about 598 kilometers -up from 400km/sec- will decrease by about 200km/sec, which is the moment when Earth will more likely experience another major quake. Such event could also occur in the vicinity of Baja California, moving down to the Saint Andreas fault at latitudes 29-33 degrees north. Along with the pacific coast of the United States, the author southern Japan and southern Iran as well as Eastern China. A major event could also spark activity at the La Palma Volcano in the Canary Islands. This volcano has kept everyone’s attention due to the potential consequences an eruption there could have.'

I believe it is tha La Palma volcano that when it errupts will dislodge a massive part of the island that will fall into the Atlantic and create 200ft high waves that will sweep across the Atlantic and destroy the east coast of American as well as the Caribbean, parts of Central America and much of the eastern coast of South America. Worrying?

An interesting view on the future of the USA

It's Basically Over For Anglos makes for a long and fascianting read, here's a few extracts:

'The Houston Chronicle quotes a demographer, Steve Murdock, who notes looking at population projections for Texas, "It's basically over for Anglos." The story reports that two out of every three Texas children are non-Anglo (almost all Mexican origin) and that will become even more pronounced in the future. Murdock is a former U.S. Census Bureau Director and is currently the Director of the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Rice University. Murdock says that Texas is divided into two: an aging Anglo population and a young, almost entirely Mexican origin population. This sets up the mother of all spoils battles: spend on mostly Mexican kids, or aging Whites. The impact of this spoils battle could conceivably, if it spirals out of control, lead to a break-up of the US along racial lines, at worst.

...

Whites are defacto minorities in California, Arizona, Texas, and Nevada. In California, Hispanics outnumber Whites absolutely, while in Arizona, Texas, and Nevada about two thirds of children under 14 are Hispanic, and only about a third White. If one believes in unicorns, rainbows, and fairies (the Tinkerbell kind, not the San Francisco leather-bound kind) then this will be no problem. "Magic" will sprinkle pixie dust on Hispanic children, magically making them achieve the same educational levels, same low levels of criminal activity, same economic levels, as the White populations they are replacing. And everyone will dance around singing Kumbayah and holding hands in one giant post-racial party, happy to have conquered "Whiteness." This is the fantasy of the Puritan-Progressive elite, and post-Quakers, the cultural heirs to the New England Puritans and Pennsylvania Quakers. Who believe in a mish-mash of "elect and damned" and "be nice to others, they'll be nice to you." The latter sound advice when your neighbors are the Amish, not so sound when they are MS-13 or the Zetas.

...

Of course, violent secession is not set in stone. But neither is it an unlikely fantasy. Fleeing Whites who were in effect ethnically cleansed out of California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Florida are unlikely to be willing to transfer funds from wealthier White states such as Idaho, or South Dakota, to Texas and the rest of the "Mexico Norte" states. Money to be spent on the very people who ethnically cleansed them out of their homes in the first place. Nor is there any way to construct a "grand bargain" -- Hispanics (mostly all Mexicans) spending money to care for an aging White population in exchange for taxes spent to educate poor Mexicans and provide welfare. First, there will not be enough money to go around, the average income gap per household is about $16,000 of White vs. Hispanic in 2009 dollars according to the US Census Bureau. There has been no narrowing the gap over the last twenty years, instead it has only increased. And socially, Hispanics have had growing maladaptive behaviors to increase income: growing not decreasing levels of illegitimacy, growing not decreasing levels of drop out rates, growing not decreasing levels of Spanish only language skills. Meanwhile the burden of providing health, education, and welfare of a desperately poor population of illegal aliens and one only slightly less desperately poor (the children of illegal aliens and every descendant afterwards) increases exponentially.'

Interesting, scary and controversial.

Debt is the problem

'Western governments' reliance on debt now is extraordinary.
The G7 countries have, on average, 50 percent more debt in 2010 than in 2007. This is an average figure: the below, using IMF data, charts how much debt they have taken on. No prizes for guessing which country raises the average:

'Remember, lads: If your penis is still attached, it's probably going to be fine.'

Wise words from Aron Krongrad a US surgeon who 'specializes in surgery for prostate cancer and chronic prostatitis.'

There are some eye-watering stoies on his site, here's an example that will have every man wincing or crossing his legs as he reads it:

'The operation began, as they do, with a penile degloving. Sound nice, yes? Like taking your cat for declawing. In reality, it means that a ring is cut at the head and the skin is retracted to the base, so as to expose all the internal components. It is followed by an evacuation of urine and clot, identification of torn urethra and shaft, some freshening to make it look nice, neat rows of suture, and voilà! Good as new, with a white bow of gauze and a slick rubber catheter'

Chilling words from a "warmist"

A member of the United Nations panel on climate change said of its findings: “There can no longer be dissent.” The next step will be to make opposition to the green religion an offence under hate crime laws.

Brainwashing the children Obama style

This video is courtesy of Tory Bear has some scary video of children singing that they are going to "change it, and re-arrange it". Change what, rearrange what? Apparently "Obama's gonna change it, Obama's gonna lead us". Anyone else feel even the slightest bit uneasy?

As Tory Bear says:

"It has all the hallmarks of a good old school, Fuhrer loving, propaganda sing song. There they are, the children of the nation, standing in front of an emblem that is quite clearly not the flag of the country, but instead a logo that has been created to represent one particular style of overbearing politics. The symbol is worshiped and respected, remind you of anything else yet?"

Tory Bear sees precedent in this

Pravda speaks and there is a lot of sense spoken

I have quoted from Pravda before and find myself doing so again. I see that they are analysing the world economy again and making some more predictions, let's take a look...

"Confronted with the biggest crisis of capitalism in more than a century, hardly any single politician currently in power in any European nation has had the courage to call a spade a spade and to tell the electorate what is going on. Not a single politician has told his voters: “we are in deep trouble, things are going to be even worse and no one knows when and where this will end. We are at loss, we don't know what is happening nor what measures to take, but please, let's stick together and ride out the storm. We will do everything in our power to ensure you and your loved ones will be safe. We can give no guarantees, we will protect you from harm as much as we can, but you must support us.” As a matter of fact, that would be the ONLY sensible and decent thing to say. Because, let there be no mistake about it, most societies in Europe are in jeopardy of utter desolation, of dissolution even.

Those in power are fully aware of this, but they don't know what to do. They are afraid—no, correction, terrified—of being thrown out of office by popular rebellion. I guess this is the only thing they are sure about since, like all political animals, they have developed a keen sense of danger, especially concerning their own survival. The governments of Iceland and Latvia, two small, peripheral countries, have already been brought down by angry crowds. It is merely a matter of speculation when the next government will fall. It is certain that more will follow the fate of the Latvian and Icelandic rulers. "

Not much to disagree with there, I could have written that myself...

What of the UK?

"Great Britain looks like the first candidate for violent change in the coming months. Already there is talk of an upcoming “Summer of Rage,” starting when the G-20 leaders will meet in London at the beginning of April. British authorities are certainly bracing themselves for what is coming, with 130.000 heavily armed policemen nationwide ready to quell street revolts. If that will not prove to be enough, army units will be deployed. Indeed, the British army has broad experience in controlling urban crowds. After all, that is essentially what the army has been doing all those years in Northern Ireland and Iraq (Basrah). Students are angry and have been occupying some 30 universities in protest against British government support of Israel trying to revive the Warsaw Ghetto in the Gaza strip. Pensioners are angry and desperate, the middle classes are fearful of joining the proletarian masses in Britain's horrid slums, and the millions of Muslims in Britain are also enraged. In short, Britain is a powder keg just waiting to explode."

Well I think that they are onto something with their prediction for a Summer of Rage and the reaction planned but they miss the fact that the government want the violence to happen so that the CCA can be implemented. Where Pravda is wrong, so wrong, is with their likening of Israel's activities in Gaza with the Warsaw ghetto - but then expecting Russia to restrain from anti-Semitism is rather a long shot.

Pravda's analysis of France's prospects is accurate, I especially liked this

"And let us not forget that in the 2005 referendum, the French massively rejected the proposed European “constitution!” Barely two years later, in 2007, the French government signed the Treaty of Lisbon, which is essentially the rejected constitution with some minor cosmetic adaptations. What a way to betray the voters! Such behaviour will certainly be punished one day, and that day might be nearer than many think."

Pravda being Pravda the article is not complete without this little paean of praise for Putin:

"The only European nation with a brighter outlook is Russia. Its leadership is responsible and competent and the country is basically self-sufficient as far as energy and basic needs are concerned. Perhaps Norway shares this distinction, but that is about all. Note that neither Russia nor Norway are members of the “European Union.” The rest of Europe is in deep trouble and will be in even deeper trouble within a few months."

Now for the scary part and once again it's not much different from what I and other bloggers have been saying for some time:

"With poverty spreading and increasing, the middle (or professional) classes are becoming terrified of losing their livelihoods and joining the urban poor. Just look around you and you will see this happening already. People are being forced out of their homes because they can no longer afford the mortgage. Millions have been losing their jobs since the crisis began late last summer and millions will follow. Pensions have been eaten away as a result of the stock markets losing 50% of their value in a matter of months. While for the moment, prices seem to be stable or even dropping in some instances, hyperinflation is on its way. Governments have found no better answer than to slash spending for social services, health care and education, while giving big handouts to irresponsible, corrupt and spendthrift bankers. A volcano of rage is brewing under the surface, mainly visible in the form of angry comments on news sites and blogs.

The media do not report what is going on. No wonder, since most media outlets are state-owned, state-influenced or mercenary. Serious, critical journalism has all but vanished. However, at the margins there is still some of it left, mainly in the form of weblogs and sites for civic journalism. By trying to achieve full spectrum media control over the past decades, governments have blinded themselves as to what the public thinks. They have absolutely no idea about the extent to which people despise them or even hate them. How stupid indeed! Today, no government in Europe is being taken seriously by anything resembling a plurality, let alone a majority of the citizens. Most people no longer believe anything the government tells them. Grudgingly, they pay their taxes and assorted fines, often exceeding 60% of what they earn, because they simply have no choice. Taxes are universally high, but nothing is being offered in return. Quite the contrary, over the past decades, most European governments have become channels for the distribution of tax money to the corporate world. Crime is on the rise, the streets are insecure. Invoking the bogus War on Terror unleashed by their masters in Washington, European governments have turned entire populations into suspects. As a matter of fact, every citizen in almost every European nation is under constant surveillance by the police and the secret services who are listening in on his phone conversations, reading his emails and checking the web sites he visits. No wonder respect for authorities has been universally replaced by contempt.

Governments and elites, badly educated and woefully short-sighted as they are, not only are ignorant about their own history, but they have apparently forgotten the basics of traditional European civility and decency, that mix of Christianity, folk wisdom and plain common sense. Ah, yes, of course, they might never have learnt these in the first place. Such as the maxim “noblesse oblige,” (with nobility come responsibilities), meaning that someone in a position of power, wealth and influence is morally obligated to come to the aid of the poor and the socially weak. You cannot just go away and hide behind the walls and gates of your closed neighbourhood. After all the French nobility did the same thing back in the 18th century, exploiting the peasants and hiding in their castles. Just look at what happened to them! Many were dragged out by enraged villagers and butchered.

Nor have most members of governments and elites today done any military service or been with the boy scouts or girl scouts. Every scouts and military leader or officer knows that one should NEVER claim any special treatment under hardship. Instead, one should suffer along with the rank and file. When they sleep rough, skip the comfort of a tent and sleep rough with them. When they have less to eat, do not binge yourself. These rules are very simple. They are to be found in every military handbook published in Europe since the printing press was invented. Marshall Chuikov, the highly effective and popular Soviet commander, reiterated these rules in his memoirs, thus joining such famous military leaders as Maréchal de Saxe, Montecuccoli and others. If one ignores these rules, one's authority will evaporate and can never be recuperated.

Therefore, from the behaviour of Europe's leaders and elites today, one may conclude they are not well-read (despite their academic titles), have no moral decency, and no values (despite their assertions as to the contrary). In other words, they are stupid, no matter how shrewd they might be. I am afraid there is no other word to describe them.

Now I must confess I am indeed quite worried. In times of crisis, the more stupid the leaders, the worse the effects of the crisis will be. Yet there may be a way to mitigate the crisis: the current leaders need to be forced out of office as soon as possible and replaced by responsible ones who truly represent the voters."

My ancestors escaped from Tsarist Russia to come to the UK but that article makes me wonder if a long-lost cousin is still there and writing for Pravda. Hans Vogel what is your background?

Show me your papers

This government just cannot help themselves; either this law is badly worded and gives powers that they did not intend or they are authoritarians whose time in power must be ended whilst we still have some freedoms left to us.

The Mail amongst many report:

"State officials are to be given powers previously reserved for times of war to demand a person's proof of identity at any time.

Anybody who refuses the Big Brother demand could face arrest and a possible prison sentence.

The new rules come in legislation to be unveiled in today's Queen's Speech.

They are presented as a crackdown on illegal immigration, but lawyers say they could be applied to anybody who has ever been outside the UK, even on holiday.

The civil rights group Liberty, which analysed clauses from the new Immigration and Citizenship Bill, called them an attempt to introduce compulsory ID cards by the back door.

The move would effectively take Britain back to the Second World War, when people were stopped and asked to 'show their papers'.

Liberty said: 'Powers to examine identity documents, previously thought to apply only at ports of entry, will be extended to criminalise anyone in Britain who has ever left the country and fails to produce identity papers upon demand.

'We believe that the catch-all remit of this power is disproportionate and that its enactment would not only damage community relations but represent a fundamental shift in the relationship between the State and those present in the UK.'

One broadly-drafted clause would permit checks on anyone who has ever entered the
UK - whether recently or years earlier.

Officials, who could be police or immigration officers, will be able to stop anyone to establish if they need permission to be here, if they have it, and whether it should be cancelled.

No reasonable cause or suspicion is required, and checks can be carried out 'in country' - not just at borders.

The law would apply to British citizens and foreign nationals, according to Liberty's lawyers. The only people who would be exempt are the tiny minority who have never been abroad on holiday or business.

A second clause says that people who are stopped 'must produce a valid identity document if required to do so by the Secretary of State'. Failure to do so would be a criminal offence with a maximum penalty of 51 weeks in jail or a £5,000 fine. "

Sorry people but it really is time to leave this Country for good whilst we still can. How long before currency controls are instituted to stop Britons taking money out of the PRGB (Peoples Republic of Great Britain) and restriction of movement orders are introduced to control which citizens are allowed within 10 miles of a port or airport? One by one the laws are being introduced to enslave us and the opposition just witter on about Damian Green, there is more going on than that; bite the bullet Cameron and start the fight back, there may just be enough time today, there probably won't be come 2010.
