Dear Caroline,

I realise the difficulty. I think it stems from the fact that nobody in Britain can even imagine that a totally new regime is to be imposed, whereby we are all subject to arbitrary arrest on no evidence followed by lengthy imprisonment of months and longer with no public hearing “pending investigation”.

2016 – 005 Why do Universities support EU – follow the money

From Breitbart London

Bosses at Aston University in Birmingham are calling for the UK to remain a member of the European Union (EU) – but have admitted they only want the UK to stay in because they receive money from Brussels.

In a recent statement Aston University was quick to point out the monetary benefits it gets from the EU. Professor Simon Green, who is the director of the Aston Centre for Europe stated: “the funding we get from Europe, which supports our European Bio-energy research among many others, keeps us at the cutting edge of world research, creating the jobs and technologies of the future,” the Birmingham Post has reported.

He added, “I have no doubt that our continuing members of the EU has a great many benefits,” though neglected to mention any.

Professor Green should be able to point out how European Union funding has benefitted him personally however. A project listed on the Aston University research page entitled The Political Challenge of Managing Migration in the UK and Germany shows Prof. Green applied to the EU-funded German academic exchange service (DAAD) for a total of £57,912 on January 23, 2012 and three months later was awarded £62,891 from DAAD.

The attitudes espoused in Green’s research on migration may reflect the same views as his article a year ago for the website The Conversation where he has written on the subject of Germany’s anti-mass migration PEGIDA movement. In the article he calls the leader of PEGIDA Lutz Bachmann a “petty criminal”, accuses the group of being comprised of “extreme right-wing gangs and the neo-Nazi NPD party,” and says PEGIDA does not speak for the “body” of the German public.

Prof. Green also parrots the same rhetoric espoused by corporate banking giant UBS, exposed by Breitbart London, which states, “Germany will need more migrants over the coming decades to mitigate the affects of an ageing population and to plug skills gaps.”

2016 – 003 How and why our soldiers can now be prosecuted.

This is essential viewing. I recall warning people that this was on its way some twenty years ago. I could see it coming not because I had inside information but because I read a little history and I understand that history is condemned to repeat itself simply because the human condition is constant and unchanging. Most of Europe has been ruled on this system for centuries. We had the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights, the absolute antithesis of the European system.  We no longer have that protection because the Queen and her ministers agreed under the terms and conditions of the Treaty of Rome that our law would be subordinate to European law and later with the Lisbon Treaty 2007 they agreed that we would all be made citizens of the EU, or Fourth Reich as it is in reality, and our former status as British subjects subordinate to the obligations, demands and allegiances of that citizenship.

see also 2012-022    Degrading the morale and capabilities of UK Armed Forces

People are confused as to how our soldiers can be charged as criminals for carrying out their duties in combat. This can now happen because they are no longer our soldiers.  The Bill of Rights established the monarch as commander in chief of our armed forces making our soldiers accountable by oath of allegiance only to the monarch and through the monarch to the British people. This was a wise move as should a Parliament become despotic the monarch as sworn official Governor of the nation would have the power to dissolve such a Parliament; only a monarch can mount and dissolve a Parliament. The soldiers oath of allegiance limits him to do no more than protect the monarch from his or her enemies. In return our the armed forces have the protection of the Crown.  Apart from funding, Parliament has no lawful authority over our armed forces what so ever.

 

With the surrender of the nation’s sovereignty in 1972 the monarch abdicated, there can be no sovereign head of state in a nation that is no longer sovereign. Parliament then assumed the role of commander in chief of our armed forces creating them political mercenaries no longer under the protection of their oath of allegiance. As they are also EU citizens they are now obliged under the demands of that citizenship to serve the Fourth Reich when called upon so to do.

2016 – 002 Letter from a Physician from Czech Republic working in Germany

A Female Physician in Munich, Germany sends a message to the world via The Swinton Circle.. . . .

Yesterday, at the hospital we had a meeting about how the situation here and at the other Munich hospitals is unsustainable. Clinics cannot handle emergencies, so they are starting to send everything to the hospitals.

Many Muslims are refusing treatment by female staff and, we, women, are refusing to go among those animals, especially from Africa. Relations between the staff and migrants are going from bad to worse. Since last weekend, migrants going to the hospitals must be accompanied by police with K-9 units.

2016 – 001 Cameron’s negotiations with EU and Gordon Brown’s earlier.

When Gordon Brown signed the Lisbon Treaty he returned trumpeting that he had achieved a number of Red Lines to protect British interests. What he said was absolutely true but he left out the last bit of that sentence. The Red Lines would only be in place for less than 5 years. Was that a lie? It was certainly very deceitful.

Cameron will probably play the same game. He is also a deceitful toad.

ROTHERHAM: THE PERFECT STORM – An investigation in to Muslim grooming gangs

December  2015 / 23 | No Comments

Introduction

I did not intend to publish this, as I could not complete the work I had set out to do, but I have decided instead to write a personal account of an attempt I made to find out how many girls have been groomed, gang-raped, and prostituted by organised gangs in England over the last five years. I do it obviously not to provide ground-breaking statistics – but to contribute to the national discussion on the phenomenon of so-called “Asian” grooming gangs that has been taking place since the publication of the Jay Report in to widespread sexual abuse, gang-rape, and torture of at least 1,400 young girls in the town of Rotherham in Yorkshire.

The first thing to report is that this figure is simply not obtainable by a member of the public, at least not if you hope to be in any way close to accurate. I am not the first to undertake this effort. A similar attempt was made by the office of the Children’s Commissioner in 2012. That investigation also concluded that an accurate figure could not be obtained.

However, in investigating the matter myself, I found widespread and continuing (despite the Jay Report) lack of any coherent recording of or response to organised gang-rape. What stands out particularly is the lack of data held by local authorities, who in almost all cases, kept no numeric data on children under their care who have reported sexual assault or rape. In almost all cases, I was informed that this information could not be provided as it would take authority staff outside of the 18 hour working time they are obliged to perform on freedom of information requests. The reason it would take longer than 18 hours to provide the data, is that it would entail reading separately through the individual files of all children in their care. In other words, even post-Rotherham, most councils are not attempting to separately record sexual assaults on children under their care, or to paint a broader picture of the problem.

An Accuracy in Academia Address by Bill Lind

Variations of this speech have been delivered to various AIA conferences including the 2000 Consevative University at American University

Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about this morning – the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or homophobic.

2015 – 157 A cautionary tale for would be Liberal Do Gooders who have lost their home.

SOUTH AFRICA: Poetic Justice for bleeding heart liberals who welcomed Muslim migrants into their home

Two South African white liberals who opened their hearts and their farm to hundreds of Central African Republic Muslim invaders, who were forced to flee their country because of its anti-Muslim policies, have seized the couple’s farm and physically driven them out of their own farm.

New Observer (h/t Marina)  According to a report in local media News24, the two leftists, Andrew and Rae Wartnaby, have been threatened with murder by the same people they had set out to help.

The drama began in July 2015 when the Wartnabys “opened their 20-hectare farm to 143 foreign nationals, including children,” who were displaced during “xenophobic attacks” by South African blacks upon other black illegal immigrants from central Africa.

South Africa—which still is living on the declining remnants of the white-created infrastructure and economy—is an attractive option for central Africans, as it is far more advanced than their own self-created hellholes. Hundreds of thousands have poured across the borders, and local blacks have been incited against them, under the impression that they are going to compete for the rapidly declining number of “jobs” which the white population can provide.

2015 – 156 The parable of the Bird Feeder and immigration

I bought a bird feeder.  I hung it on my back porch and filled it
with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it
lovingly with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio,above the table, and next to the barbecue. 


Then came the shit. It was everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table …everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own
pocket.

And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night  and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

A commercial promoting pork says:  “PUT SOME PORK ON YOUR  FORK”

The MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CAFETERIA MENU  and EXPLAINS WHY:


Muslim parents demanded the abolition of  pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb.

The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval has refused, and the  town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why.

“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and  Quebec, its customs, its traditions, and its way of life, because that’s where  they chose to immigrate.

2015 – 153 Frontex precursor to an EU army and taking our UK armed forces.

Today I am reading in the Italian media that the Commission wants to beef up Frontex – the EU’s border guards corps, and send them to places like Greece, or any other member state (presumably within Schengen) – even against the will of that member state. This is confirmed by the statement by the Swedish Interior Minister admitting as much in the article linked below:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-05/greece-loses-last-trace-sovereignty-after-eu-takes-control-over-greek-borders

The frontier guards will of course be equipped with lethal weapons and will operate under the EU’s own flag, and be answerable only to Brussels.
It should be realised that their presence on the territory of a nation-state will therefore amount to a military occupation of that nation-state.
Once a bridgehead has been thus established by Brussels with the stationing of EU frontier guards in a member state, on the excuse that the state in question is unable to control its own frontiers, the road will be open for the European Gendarmerie Force to move in too.

The “United State of Europe” that the EU wants to build will clearly be based on the model of the centralised Napoleonic State, where the enforcers – ie the police – are always paramilitary, lethally-armed, and directly controlled by the central government. Thus their personnel are recruited nationally and then redeployed all over the territory, most usually not in their home towns, and housed locally in barracks. Thus, for example, the French Gendarmerie controls France, the Spanish Guardia Civil controls Spain, and in Italy there are three such bodies, the Carabinieri (military police), the Polizia di Stato (State Police), and the Guardia di Finanza (tax police – also militarised), all deployed all over the territory and each answerable to a cabinet minister (respectively, Defence, Interior, and Finance). Each nation is in effect under military occupation by its own central government. The machinery for a despotic form of government is thus pre-arranged, and readily available to a despot, when and if one comes along (as has happened all too frequently in European history).

So, likewise following the Napoleonic model, the U.S. of E. is to have the Eurogendarmerie to control its own territory – ie the territories of what were once the nation-states. The embryo EuroGendarmerie Force, comprising the militarised police forces of six member states so far, is already up and running. If any should not believe it they can see the EGF’s own official website – www.eurogendfor.eu.

2015 – 149 The Quinton Letts discussion with the Met Office deleted by BBC and its sequel

 

Posted on 06 Dec 15 by Paul Matthews 6 Comments

The BBC Trust has decreed that a light-hearted Radio 4 programme by Quentin Letts, “What’s the point of the Met Office”, which included a brief section suggesting that global warming might be a bit exaggerated, broke its guidelines on impartiality. See the verdict here, Quentin Letts’s piece here and commentary from Biased BBC here. The programme has been removed from the BBC iPlayer.

In order to respect the BBC ruling, let’s have no more laughing at the Met Office. So please, no more references to Michael Fish saying we are not going to have a hurricane, and no more mention of the Met Office prediction of a barbecue summer. Henceforth, it is not appropriate to mention the video of Vicky Pope confidently predicting that 2014 would be 0.3C warmer than 2004, a prediction that turned out to be completely wrong. And any satirical comments along the lines of “Here come de heap big warmy” will not be tolerated.

All copies of the audio of the Quentin Letts programme should be deleted, in accordance with BBC guidelines, and if you have a transcript of the programme, please delete it.

And whatever you do, please do not read, publicise or distribute the following transcript of the Quentin Letts programme, produced by Alex Cull, who is now undertaking a re-education course conducted by Cardinal Harrabin.

U.S. Pavlovian Conditioning

Revolutionaries in government have created economic chaos, shortages in food and fuel, confiscatory taxation, a crisis in education, the threat of war, and other diversions to condition Americans for the “New World Order.” The technique is as old as politics itself. It is the Hegelian Dialectic of bringing about change in a three-step process: Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis. The first step (thesis) is to create a problem. The second step (antithesis) is to generate opposition to the problem (fear, panic and hysteria). The third step (synthesis) is to offer the solution to the problem created by step one: A change which would have been impossible to impose upon the people without the proper psychological conditioning achieved in stages one and two. Applying the Hegelian Dialectic, and irresistible financial influence, concealed change agents seek to dismantle social and political structures by which free men govern themselves — ancient landmarks erected at great cost in blood and treasure. Their objective is to emasculate sovereign states, merge nations under universal government, centralize economic powers, and control the world’s people and resources.

> Dear Friends,

> Europe is now in total chaos and I think that you should know about it.

> I have waited a week or so to see how things will develop and to glean more information before presenting the facts.
> As you may know from the media, the flood of refugees cum economic immigrants into Europe has reached ridiculous proportions to the extent that Hungary and other Balkan states have closed their borders.  Turkey is considering doing the same.
> Angela Merkel, in an ill advised speech to the Bundestag, welcomed all refugees to Germany and the floodgates opened and, in my view, this was all pre-planned beginning with the Pope’s appeal last year for Islam to move closer to Christianity.  This was then followed up via the Italian Government instructing the Italian Navy to rescue all boat refugees and bring them to Italy.
> As a result, it seems that some 8000 people per day are now entering Europe via various routes.  Most of these are young males between 17 and 25.  The result is chaos as you can imagine.
> Here in Saarland we have been overwhelmed with refugees who are mainly young males but some are families.  In Lebach, some 10 kilometres from here, a camp for 200 was set up and a further 100 added this last week.  The politicians, local government and religious leaders have fallen over themselves to bring them in and cater for them.
> And so what is the result?  In Ventimiglia near Monte Carlo, the refugees banded together (organized by a smart phone) and over ran the market and stole or destroyed everything and ransacked the town.
> Here in Lebach, a group entered a supermarket and took what they wanted and destroyed the rest.  When the Manageress confronted them, they called up their friends and smashed the place to bits.  The police arrived but were overwhelmed.  The supermarket is now closed.
> Yesterday, my friends rang from Weissenfels near Leipzig since two supermarkets and a Kaufland store in Halle suffered the same way.  More news is coming in from all over Germany of the same situations.
> The media report none of this.
> Many people have demonstrated against being overrun by immigrants.  In Weissenfels, families were thrown out of an eight unit apartment block and 70 refugees moved in.  Small towns of some 2000 to 3000 people are over run by some 5000 to 6000 refugees.
> Much civil unrest is apparent and is just boiling under the surface.  Europe is in chaos and the do gooders have totally lost control of the situation.  Islam has overwhelmed us.
> For the Syrian and Afghan refugees, I have every sympathy and they need help.  They should get it.  But for the rest, in my view, the state authorities must be firm and send them back.  Perhaps it is too late.
> Anyway, I thought that you should know that the situation here is pretty grim and I fail to see how it can be resolved.  I can only foresee a police state.

2015 – 144 The Stupid Folly of the 5p bag

The Folly of the 5p bag

The Ecotards have achieved another pyrrhic victory with the 5p plastic shopping bag. It is a solution that does not solve the problem and yet again the public have to pay. They have persuaded our feeble minded government to impose a charge of 5p per plastic shopping bag – to save the seas? Certainly that is a very big problem but their solution is quite fatuous.

First it should be noted that the great majority of plastic in the sea and on UK shores is not from UK but of foreign origin.

Campaigners argue that the bags blight streets, spoil the countryside, and damage wildlife, seas and coastline. All absolutely true and they claim that charging the customer 5p per bag will almost eliminate their use and dumping by more than 50%. + £60m savings in litter clean-up costs. + £13m in carbon savings.

But will it achieve the desired result?

My weeks shopping in the 4 x 5p bags contained groceries in 12 other smaller but free plastic bags and plastic containers all of which will go into the bin. How this plan is going to make anything more than about 10% less bags and will only make the very slightest difference to the plastic bag problem in the environment. There will be almost as many bags drifting about the environment as before.

MPs’ Expenses Watchdogs ejected and replaced

In January 2012 we wrote a post about “The House of Commons Committee on Members’ Expenses” calling for £20,000 pay rises. This would be achieved by converting certain ‘expenses’ that must be costs proved to be incurred for the sole purpose of MPs doing their jobs into ‘regional supplements’ that are just paid to MPs regardless. That Commons committee last met in December 2011, and has patiently waited, with no  minuted meetings, for the whole of 2012.
