I mean, you’re surely &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;impartia&lt;/span&gt;…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Oh:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Research funded by a cancer charity trying to reduce smoking is being sought by a giant tobacco company &lt;strong&gt;keen to recruit users to its lethal products&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;OK, maybe not. Clearly, the dispassionate look at the facts we might  expect from someone in your position &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;isn&lt;/span&gt;’t going to be forthcoming.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not surprisingly&lt;/strong&gt;, the requests are&lt;strong&gt; highly contentious&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;No, I can bet &lt;em&gt;you’re&lt;/em&gt; not surprised.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;People who really believe that information should be free &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;wouldn&lt;/span&gt;’t be, I’d have thought.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;But&lt;strong&gt; is the threat as severe as it seems&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Is it actually a ‘threat’? Surely you should be asking &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;problem&lt;/strong&gt; for Stirling University’s Centre for Tobacco Control Studies is that our &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;FOI&lt;/span&gt; laws are designed to &lt;strong&gt;be “applicant blind”&lt;/strong&gt;. Decisions depend on whether information can&lt;strong&gt; safely be made public&lt;/strong&gt; – not whether it should be released to the specific requester, however much it may be &lt;strong&gt;abhorred&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;So, why is this a ‘problem’ for you? Am I alone in thinking this is a  strange attitude to have from someone who supposedly champions freedom  of information?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;That principle is &lt;strong&gt;important&lt;/strong&gt;. It means that an authority cannot refuse a request because the applicant is &lt;strong&gt;opposing  its policies, criticising its competence, challenging its decisions in  court or, in the case of an opposing political party, trying to replace  it in government&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Then, why should that principle not apply equally to &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; case? Because you’re an anti-smoker?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It also means that it cannot refuse the request because it is made by a tobacco firm. But the university is &lt;strong&gt;entitled to take into account that making the information public would also make it available to such firms&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;So, you’re only in favour of freedom of information when it suits &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The researchers have &lt;strong&gt;argued&lt;/strong&gt; that if they  are forced to hand over the information (presumably even in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;anonymised&lt;/span&gt;  form from which subjects could not be identified),&lt;strong&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;funders&lt;/span&gt; will  be reluctant to back them, other academics will not share data with them  and teenagers will refuse to be interviewed in future.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Which seems no better than the other such claims made by other such organisations like government departments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;If this is true, then &lt;strong&gt;a specific exemption in the Scottish &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;FOI&lt;/span&gt; Act may apply&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Did you have a big, self-satisfied smile on your face when you typed that?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other exemptions, such as&lt;strong&gt; breach of confidence&lt;/strong&gt;, may also apply.&lt;strong&gt; This means the “catastrophe” the researchers warn about may not be imminent at all&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;I think if I were a member of the UK Campaign for Freedom of  Information, and I read this thinly-veiled attack piece, I’d be  considering getting a new director assigned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;                                         .......................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  So there you have it , Stirling University not wanting to disclose it's research data to an applicant under the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;FOI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; Act , the lead researcher says that even with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;anonymised&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  data they had promised absolute confidentiality . No-one can promise that , for there are certain things that if revealed during an interview must be reported to the competent authority e.g. terrorism , abuse and professional misconduct . No competent  Research Ethics Committee  should allow a promise of total anonymity or absolute confidentiality for they are not possible ; the most that can be promised is conditional confidentiality .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;       When the researchers undertook this work supported by CRUK ( who receive their income from the general public , including smokers  )   they have an obligation to publish the results and offer the data for peer review . Thus Phillip Morris have every right to request  to check the veracity of the researchers analysis . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-7970417891058307729?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/7970417891058307729/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=7970417891058307729&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/7970417891058307729'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/7970417891058307729'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2011/09/researchers-do-not-want-to-release.html' title='Researchers do not want to release findings.'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-1114222384294570344</id><published>2011-08-31T18:23:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-08-31T18:45:07.942+01:00</updated><title type='text'>What the Muslim really thinks .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qt8Zz6b7aqg/Tl5vk3qYP1I/AAAAAAAAAU8/wPrFbLdjwPc/s1600/memri-logo-red1.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 228px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qt8Zz6b7aqg/Tl5vk3qYP1I/AAAAAAAAAU8/wPrFbLdjwPc/s320/memri-logo-red1.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647073661976854354" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:punctuationkerning/&gt;   &lt;w:validateagainstschemas/&gt;   &lt;w:saveifxmlinvalid&gt;false&lt;/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;   &lt;w:ignoremixedcontent&gt;false&lt;/w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;   &lt;w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext&gt;false&lt;/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;    &lt;w:dontgrowautofit/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"&gt;  &lt;/w:LatentStyles&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if !mso]&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;style&gt; st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0cm; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-ansi-language:#0400; 	mso-fareast-language:#0400; 	mso-bidi-language:#0400;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/5601.htm" target="_blank"&gt;MEMRI:&lt;/a&gt; Senior Official in Egyptian Islamic Jihad: If We Come to Power, We will Launch a Campaign of Islamic Conquests to Instate Shari’a Worldwide: ‘The Christian is Free to Worship His God in His Church, but if the Christians Make Problems for the Muslims, I Will Exterminate Them’&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;On August 13, 2011, the Egyptian daily Roz Al-Yousef published an interview[1] with Sheikh ‘Adel Shehato, a senior official in Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ), who, on March 23, 2011, was freed from prison in the wake of the Egyptian revolution. He was imprisoned in 1991 upon returning from a three-year sojourn in Afghanistan.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;In the interview, Shehato expressed complete opposition to democracy “because it is not the faith of the Muslims, but the faith of the Jews and Christians.” He said that although the youth of the Arab revolutions have not declared the implementation of shari’a as one of their goals, the mujahideen nonetheless identify with their aspiration to overthrow the Arab rulers, whom they had always considered “infidels who must be killed because they do not rule according to the shari’a.” He added, however, that “once Allah’s law is applied, the role of the people will end and Allah will reign supreme.” He went on to say that although he supports Al-Qaeda’s ideology, shari’a law would not be enforced by violence but by da’wa (preaching), whereas violence would be used only against the infidel Arab rulers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;Shehato said that if the mujahideen came to power in Egypt, they would launch a campaign of Islamic conquests aimed at subjecting the entire world to Islamic rule. Muslim ambassadors would be appointed to each country, charged with calling upon them to join Islam willingly, but if the countries refused, war would be waged against them. He also described the nature of the Islamic state to be established in Egypt: there would be no trade or cultural ties with non-Muslims; tourist sites at the pyramids, the Sphinx, and Sharm Al-Sheikh would be shut down “because the tourists come [there] to drink alcohol and fornicate,” and all tourists wishing to visit Egypt would be required to comply with the conditions and laws of Islam; all art, painting, singing, dancing, and sculpture would be forbidden, and all culture would be purely Islamic.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:punctuationkerning/&gt;   &lt;w:validateagainstschemas/&gt;   &lt;w:saveifxmlinvalid&gt;false&lt;/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;   &lt;w:ignoremixedcontent&gt;false&lt;/w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;   &lt;w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext&gt;false&lt;/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;    &lt;w:dontgrowautofit/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"&gt;  &lt;/w:LatentStyles&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if !mso]&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;style&gt; st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0cm; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-ansi-language:#0400; 	mso-fareast-language:#0400; 	mso-bidi-language:#0400;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Our stupid politicians are praising the "Arab  Spring" , that moderately reasonably leaders are being replaced by the most extreme of Islamic terrorists ; the thing is they do not give a damn .

Shopkeepers and homeowners crippled with fear,  unable to defend their loved ones or their property. Innocent citizens  forced to watch helplessly while their life’s dreams — everything they  worked so hard to build and acquire — are carried out the door, or  smashed to pieces, or burned to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E_lnP-fXSF8/TlONSXXSSRI/AAAAAAAAMCo/xv6_AZozAXQ/s1600/LONDON_OLYMPICS_01_SHOTPUT.png" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E_lnP-fXSF8/TlONSXXSSRI/AAAAAAAAMCo/xv6_AZozAXQ/s400/LONDON_OLYMPICS_01_SHOTPUT.png" width="480" height="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men, women and children forced to strip naked in the streets, while  packs of criminals laugh and ridicule them before making off with their  clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact is, when British politicians stripped their citizens of their  God-given right to self-defense, they robbed them of their freedom and  their dignity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NG-ho5hvumY/TlONSjb7wTI/AAAAAAAAMCw/ar2LY0pZCVk/s1600/LONDON_OLYMPICS_02_WEIGHTLIFTING.jpg" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NG-ho5hvumY/TlONSjb7wTI/AAAAAAAAMCw/ar2LY0pZCVk/s400/LONDON_OLYMPICS_02_WEIGHTLIFTING.jpg" width="480" height="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sales of baseball bats are up over 5,000% on Amazon.co.uk. This isn’t to  mark the beginning of little league season. These are desperate  homeowners and shopkeepers purchasing the best - and in reality, only -  self-defense tool that the British government will allow them to own . .  . at least for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9BIP3pmLuVE/TlONSiVaCRI/AAAAAAAAMC4/qxTiBdJmsZA/s1600/LONDON_OLYMPICS_03_JUDO.jpg" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9BIP3pmLuVE/TlONSiVaCRI/AAAAAAAAMC4/qxTiBdJmsZA/s400/LONDON_OLYMPICS_03_JUDO.jpg" width="480" height="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If past is prologue, this flood of baseball bats into London will spark  cries from government leaders for mandatory bat registration and a wave  of new laws on how, when, and under what circumstances British citizens  may carry or swing a bat. After all, this is exactly how British  citizens lost their gun rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First came mandatory gun licensing. Next came a wave of restrictions on firearms ownership. Then came the outright gun bans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OMzw2iYbaps/TlOM5VcJTZI/AAAAAAAAMCg/x-yGIbsj8yw/s1600/LONDON_OLYMPICS_04_HURDLES.jpg" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OMzw2iYbaps/TlOM5VcJTZI/AAAAAAAAMCg/x-yGIbsj8yw/s400/LONDON_OLYMPICS_04_HURDLES.jpg" width="480" height="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been illegal to own a handgun in Britain for nearly 15 years. As a  result, Britain’s violent crime rate has soared. In fact, Britain  consistently clocks-in with the highest violent crime rate in all of  Europe. Last week’s riots notwithstanding, you are six times more likely  to be mugged in London than in New York. These are the inconvenient  statistics that the gun-ban crowd likes to sweep under the rug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mpe7UzzADAU/TlOM5b1kKYI/AAAAAAAAMCY/d-YLBXCmONc/s1600/LONDON_OLYMPICS_05_JAVELIN.jpg" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mpe7UzzADAU/TlOM5b1kKYI/AAAAAAAAMCY/d-YLBXCmONc/s400/LONDON_OLYMPICS_05_JAVELIN.jpg" width="480" height="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if banning handguns didn’t send a strong enough message to criminals  that British citizens are ripe for the picking, the British government  went even further in 1999.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recall the tragic story of Tony Martin, the British farmer who was  awakened one night to the sound of breaking glass and found two burglars  in his home. Martin had been robbed six times before. This time, he  went downstairs, retrieved a shotgun, and fired at the intruders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z55pxrlV_Z8/TlOM5EcHsEI/AAAAAAAAMCQ/4buKuB5km6Q/s1600/LONDON_OLYMPICS_06_DIVING.jpg" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z55pxrlV_Z8/TlOM5EcHsEI/AAAAAAAAMCQ/4buKuB5km6Q/s400/LONDON_OLYMPICS_06_DIVING.jpg" width="480" height="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this, Martin received life in prison for killing one of the  burglars, ten years for wounding the other thug, and one additional year  for possession of an unregistered shotgun. The wounded burglar served  just 18 months of a three-year sentence and was given $5,000 in legal  assistance from Britain’s Legal Services Commission so he could sue  Martin for violating his civil rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more &lt;a href="http://dailycaller.com/2011/08/17/britain%E2%80%99s-criminal-utopia/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HERE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I remember the Rodney King riots in 1992, in L.A., which were  basically race riots much like what has taken place over in London.  I  remember how the urban blacks turned on the businesses in their own  neighborhoods and sacked them, much like what we have seen in London,  last week.  Chic psychologists will tell you that of course a mob has no  brain; it is sheer violence and primal id, unleashed. What really  happens is the poor classes sense a source of entertainment, and an  opportunity to loot, get free stuff - the looters in L.A. were crying  out, "It's Christmastime! It's Christmastime!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wd7hpESeMCc/TlOfIa_cGnI/AAAAAAAAMDY/xdiZD5rvqYI/s1600/LA-riots.jpg" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wd7hpESeMCc/TlOfIa_cGnI/AAAAAAAAMDY/xdiZD5rvqYI/s400/LA-riots.jpg" width="480" height="317" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;L.A. 1992&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also remember how the businesses of the local Korean shopkeepers  became a prime target of choice - because the urban blacks, in a twisted  logic - view the Koreans as keeping them down via their success. When I  first came to America I did what work was available, and the urban  blacks I worked with told me themselves: "The Orientals are willing to  do any job no matter how hard or how low and for half the price. They  live ten or twenty to a two room apartment, packed in their like  sardines and save money that way, start buying up all the beat up  run-down real estate.  Then the Orientals become the landlords in the  poor areas, and the Orientals run the cash registers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can hear it now - I'm going to be called a racist for daring to say  the above.  Whatever - the very word 'racism' has been made meaningless  by the people who throw it out at the drop of a hat. I call it the way I  see it, and being in a bi-racial marriage makes it even more  meaningless when thrown at me.  What took place in the U.K. was in fact a  series of race riots, first in London and then it spread to Birmingham  and Manchester; where mostly African and West Indian blacks targeted the  whites but more especially the East Indian shopkeepers, who are  fastidious merchants and restauranteers.  This phenomenon is a kind of  racism where one minority targets another minority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X2VR3pQ63Mg/TlOf3LyN6kI/AAAAAAAAMDo/eQ-Z-i529iM/s1600/london-riots-looting.png" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X2VR3pQ63Mg/TlOf3LyN6kI/AAAAAAAAMDo/eQ-Z-i529iM/s400/london-riots-looting.png" width="480" height="247" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;England, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ck8Z9cRHFz0/TlOf3XTWAcI/AAAAAAAAMDw/nS07aWSsBL8/s1600/London-riots-day-3--002.jpg" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ck8Z9cRHFz0/TlOf3XTWAcI/AAAAAAAAMDw/nS07aWSsBL8/s400/London-riots-day-3--002.jpg" width="470" height="288" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that is not my point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is that in when these kind of race riots occurred in L.A., the only shops that &lt;/i&gt;survived&lt;i&gt;  the savage onslaught were in fact the very establishments that were  targeted as primo pickings: the Korean businesses, because of the  sentiments expressed above.  And the reason &lt;/i&gt;why&lt;i&gt; they survived is  because the Koreans are very organized; every Korean community has a  Korean Association, and almost every Korean businessman has served in  the ROK military, and as any American who has pulled duty in the  Republic of Korea will tell you, ROK soldiers are the toughest on Earth  and &lt;/i&gt;THEY DO NOT F*CK AROUND.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R8gXDdaVusk/TlOeQTjC9qI/AAAAAAAAMDQ/5PEfAOI09MQ/s1600/LA%2BRiots%2BKoreatown.jpg" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R8gXDdaVusk/TlOeQTjC9qI/AAAAAAAAMDQ/5PEfAOI09MQ/s400/LA%2BRiots%2BKoreatown.jpg" width="480" height="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; The Korean merchants of East L.A. armed themselves with their  legally-acquired AR-15s, Mini-14s and Remington 870s, and manned their  grocery stores and laundromats. When the looters came to Korea Town,  they were met by volleys of rifle and shotgun fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I toured the riot-hit neighborhoods of East L.A. and downtown Hollywood  not long after the riots and saw for myself the damage the inhabitants  had brought upon themselves.  What stood out was the Korean businesses.   There were some broken windows and some incidental fire damage from  adjacent structures, but it was remarkable to see these islands of  civilization amongst the rubble and the burnt out storefronts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moral of the story: arm yourself with as many guns as you can get your  hands on and keep them as close to yourself as possible.  The right to  self-defense is derived from Deity, it is natural law, and the way it is  expressed in the Constitution reads: " . . . shall not be infringed . .  ."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What took place in the U.K. last week is vivid example of how the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Be &lt;/i&gt;very&lt;i&gt;  distrustful of any politician who expresses any kind of sentiment  toward the restriction or registration of gun ownership because now we  see where it leads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's my story and I'm sticking to it . . .

&lt;p&gt;The European Commission may finally have hit on an issue that jerks  Britain from its euro-torpor – an issue that simultaneously presses the  buttons of border control, welfare abuse and Brussels intrusiveness.  Whether from hubris, power-hunger or from sheer stupidity, Eurocrats are  demanding that Britain stop asking immigrants to show that they won’t  immediately start accessing the social security system.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As the law stands, people wishing to settle in Britain must  demonstrate that they have the means to support themselves, either  through work or through an alternative source of income such as a  pension. The European Commission claims that this amounts to  discrimination against EU citizens, who are supposed to enjoy the same  rights as British nationals.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In fact, as so often happens, Eurocrats are disregarding the plain  text of their own rules. Article 7(1) of the Free Movement Directive  gives EU citizens the right to reside in another member state only if  they have “sufficient resources for themselves and their family members  not to become a burden on the social assistance system of the host  Member State”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In order to get around this clause, the European Commission is  deploying a piece of sheer sophistry. It argues that, if immigrants were  able to top up their income with British benefits, they would have  “sufficient resources”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In May, the Supreme Court ruled on the claim of a Latvian pensioner,  who had just moved to Britain and had demanded Pension Credit on grounds  that her Latvian pension was too small. Although our courts like to  rule in favour of immigrants, the law here was so clear-cut that, by  4-1, judges turned her down. If the European Commission were to get its  way, she would not only be able to claim Pension Credit, but also  council tax and housing subsidies – despite not having paid a penny into  the system.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This blog has droned on and on about the way in which the EU is  preventing the Coalition from fulfilling its manifesto promises. This  ruling – if upheld by the European Court of Justice – would strike down  Iain Duncan Smith’s pension reforms. His scheme, which has been warmly  applauded across the political spectrum, aims to replace the current  complicated system of state pensions with a flat entitlement, available  to all pensioners regardless of assets, employment history or past  contributions. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Such a scheme, however, depends on a minimum residency requirement.  (New Zealand, which operates a system very like the one IDS is  proposing, makes payments only to those who have spent at least ten  years in the country.) If every EU resident over the age of 66 whose  income came to less than £140 a week were able to draw a British  pension, the system would be bankrupted. Are we past caring?&lt;/p&gt;  Ey&lt;/span&gt;e on Britain(2) :&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danielhannan/100089292/eu-demands-that-britain-admit-immigrants-intending-to-go-straight-on-to-benefits/"&gt;SOURCE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; The traitorous scum that inhabit the Palace of Westminster care nothing for us , they must go .

In 1939 , when the UK declared war on Germany the people were urged to fight by the then Government ; yet in2011 the Government has cravenly surrended our society to a foreign invader .&lt;br /&gt;If we have a treasonous Government , it falls , under Common Law , to the people to defend the land&lt;br /&gt;Muslims like to refer to their faith as the religion of peace , when the Koran urges world domination ( the Caliphate ) . Christian preachers say that we should turn the other cheek ; however that perverts what Jesus said ; " Think not that I am come to send peace on earth : I came not to send peace , but a sword . " ( Matthew 10:34 ) .&lt;br /&gt;Jesus told his disciples " He that hath no sword , let him sell his garment , and buy one . " ( Luke 22:36 ) .&lt;br /&gt;Until the eighteenth century Britain was prepared to fight wars based on religion , the people supporting this , however now our " Government " expects us to allow ourselves to be disenfranchised  and place ourselves at the mercy of Islam . Islam is not just a religion but a way of life , has its own code of law , its own financial system , all to be found in the Koran .

Darwish, who was born in Cairo, and moved as a child to Gaza with her  family, was raised Muslim – her father founding Palestinian fedayeen units which  launched terrorist raids across Israel’s southern border. When Nonie was only  eight, her father was assassinated by the IDF, after which he was recognized as  a shahid, or martyr for Islam. Darwish immigrated to the United States in 1978.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Islamic Law and the  ensuing threats to Western civilization are subjects Darwish discusses with a  passion and knowledge borne only of one who grew up within it can have. Having  left Islam as an adult and having converted to Christianity, she has shared her  experiences in Islam with her first book, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Now They Call Me  Infidel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;. Now with her  second book, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Cruel and Usual  Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;, she explains in  layman’s terms the meaning of Shariah law and the implications that face those  who embrace it. Nonie Darwish visited with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;FamilySecurityMatters.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt; to discuss the  book:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;Renee Taylor for FSM:  What are some of the implications for Western civilizations of accepting Shariah  law into their societies?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;Nonie Darwish: Today,  Muslims have moved to Europe, America, Australia and Canada. They argued for  Shariah law and got it. In England now, they are practicing marriage and  inheritance laws. It is important for the West to realize and understand that  Islamic law does not give equal rights to all. It discriminates between men and  women. There are laws for Muslims, laws for non-Muslims. Women and non-Muslims  have much more oppressive laws, giving Muslim men authority over them. If we  allow such laws, we will find ourselves approving discrimination in our society  between people. That is totally against Western democracy and values, especially  the U.S. Constitution. I wrote this book because it is very important for the  West to understand what they allow. Shariah law itself was not part of Islam  when Mohammed died. It was created by the Muslim heads of state because Islam  was moving very fast to conquer many countries. They needed Islamic law to rule  over all these lands. It is inspired by the Koran and by the Hadith sayings of  Mohammed. All areas of Islamic society are rooted in Islamic law, which is  tyrannical law. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;Slavery, for  example, has never been abolished by Islam. If you read Muslim Shariah law, it  is full of regulation of slaves. Sexual slavery of women captured in war is  allowed, which was practiced by Mohammed. Even today, sexual slaves are accepted  and all over the Middle East. Honor killings are rooted in Islamic law. For  example, the murders for which a Muslim will never have punishment: to kill an  apostate, to kill an adulterer – which is usually a woman, and honor killings.  If you allow the killings of an apostate or an adulteress woman in the form of  vigilante justice under Islamic law, you are endorsing honor killing. There are  so many laws you cannot imagine that are brutal and unfair. A woman, for  example, cannot divorce her husband, only a man can divorce her. I have an  entire chapter in my book about the Muslim marriage contract. All of this is to  open the eyes of the West to something totally against their own value system  and democracy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: With the world at  risk, why do you think other countries are not taking the situation seriously?  There seems to be a lot of appeasement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: Unfortunately,  there is no united policy across the West with regard to radical Islam. I  believe the reason is there are so many Muslim countries around the world and  many of them are oil rich and use oil as a weapon blackmailing Western  countries. Appease them and assimilate them. Under Shariah, one of the major  threats of a Muslim head of state is jihad. There is a law in Shariah law that  says the head is to move Muslims to establish their religion. He must organize  jihad against non-Muslim countries. They must be conquered. Why the West is in  denial, I do not know. That is why I wrote the book, to inform the average  Westerner what Shariah is. The book deals with all aspects of Shariah, what  jihad is, and the obligations of Muslims to kill Jews and Christians and any  non-Muslims in the jihad to who do not accept Islam. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;That is why,  unfortunately, when a Muslim leader stands up for Israel, he is labeled an  apostate because he is doing something against his own Islamic law. A Muslim  head of state must continue the Jihad against non-Muslim countries, especially  those who neighbor a Muslim country. When President Sadat signed a peace treaty  with Israel, he was assassinated. The reason was he violated Islamic law which  demanded he be at permanent war with a non-Muslim adjacent state. This is  happening everywhere. In India, Kosovo, Chechnya. If the West stays in denial,  we will see the same in France. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: How can the  average citizen get involved in understanding Islamic Law and how it is going to  affect them and their way of life?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: It is very  important that we separate the law of Islam from the religion of Islam. You see,  a religion is private. When a minority comes to a country, they have a  relationship with their god. The minute they begin to enforce a law on that  country, that act goes into the realm of politics. It goes into the realm of the  law of the land. That also violates our separation of church and state, the  separation of mosque and state. The West doesn’t understand that under Shariah  law, there is no separation of mosque and state. The mosque is the state and the  state is the mosque. The West which prides itself on freedom and democracy,  freedom of speech, equal rights for women and minorities, they have to  understand that this is not a religious right. Muslims will say you are  depriving them of their religious rights. No, you are not. This is political  Islam. It has nothing to do with a personal relationship with God. It is about  trying to control the country which they have immigrated to. America has fought  so hard for women’s rights – are we going to start honor killings? There was an  honor killing of two beautiful young girls in Texas by their father who was from  Egypt, a taxi driver. He was not caught because he left the country. There are  so many horrible laws. We must never think this is a religion because the duty  of a religion is to protect you with rights. A religion doesn’t discriminate and  torture and that is a violation of your rights, a violation of church and  state.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;A majority of  Muslims are much like everyone else. What I am talking about is not the people –  the problem is the law which discriminates and oppresses. There are so many  oppressed people in the Muslim world. Look at the eyes of the people in the West  Bank of Gaza or in Iraq or Egypt. The bottom line in every society is the law.  Under Islamic Shariah law, the testimony of a woman is half that of a man. If a  man and a woman go to court, guess who wins? This is what I am talking about –  I’m not talking about the people, I’m talking about the law. If people don’t  have justice under the law, they are living in a jungle. There are stocks and  bonds sold from Islamic countries in American called Shariah finance. The  profits from such financial deals go in the pockets of those Muslim countries.  They use these profits to enforce Shariah law across Africa and other poor  countries. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: Do most Muslims  outside the political hierarchy understand and support Shariah law? Or would  they like to see an end to it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: There are some  movements against Shariah, but they are calling them apostates and killing them.  Unfortunately, under Islamic law, in all the books of Shariah, to deny Shariah  is equal to denying Islam. The penalty is death. That is why there is no  feminist movement in the Muslim world. I know two feminists in the Middle East,  one in Egypt and one in Baharain. The one in Baharain was advocating divorce.  She is now prevented from speaking or writing. The one in Egypt has a fatwah  against her and had to leave the country because she could not protect herself.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: What do you think  it would take to stop the encroachment of Islamic law into the West?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: The West must  understand what Islamic law is without political correctness. The dictatorships  in the Middle East are the creation of Shariah law. The only thing the West  wants from the Middle East is an honest transaction of here is our dollars, give  us your oil, but the Muslim world wants to blackmail the West to convert it to  Islam. It is a very high price for oil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: Why do you think  non-Muslims, with all the information out there regarding Shariah law, are  ignoring the warning signs?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: My book is the  first book ever to explain Shariah. hariah books themselves are rarely  translated into English and very few people want to go into the legal  terminologies. I studied for one year to be able to explain Shariah in a way  that it is understandable. I did a lot of quotations from Shariah and explained  them. It is all documented. The West must wake up and start understanding  because Shariah law says that for Muslims it is obligatory to lie if the purpose  of the lie is the furtherance of Islam. Many Muslims don’t even know what  Shariah law is exactly. They have lived under it for so many years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: Do you believe  that, under any circumstance, Shariah law and Western law can co-exist?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: No It is totally  opposite and if we allow it among Muslims it is not going to end there.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: We have had  several instances in the United States where Muslims sued their employers for  prayer times during work hours, cab drivers refusing to carry passengers with  alcohol….&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: That is how they  operate. You have women who want to cover their faces to get a driver’s license.  You cannot bend the rules. The police must be able to look at your face and your  license to identify you. So what do they want? They want to completely abolish  our laws and put in their own laws. It doesn’t work this way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: How does the  “peaceful Muslim”, who says they don’t advocate the violent teaching of the  Koran, reconcile their beliefs?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: I don’t  understand. I personally cannot reconcile my beliefs, which is why I left Islam.  It is very clear that Jews and Christians are infidels. The Koran has very  derogatory words for them. Muslims are ordered not to talk to them, that they  are filth. Some Muslims just do the five pillars of Islam – to pray and to fast…  To them, that is their religion, which is very minimal and they are happy with  those five pillars. They ignore 99% of their religion and only concentrate on  the prayer. When something like 9/11 happens, they are silent because they know  if they speak out against Jihad, they become apostates. That is why so many  Americans are left wondering why are they silent. As much as they might be good  people and citizens, they don’t commit crimes, by being silent against the  tyranny of radical Islam, they are really feeding the monster. They are not  standing up against it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: What are your  thoughts on the situation in Israel and what do you think Israel must do to stop  Hamas?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: It is rooted in  Shariah. Why is it an eternal problem for Muslims? Why do they want to destroy  Israel? Many Muslims don’t want to tell you the truth. They don’t want to tell  you it is their intention to destroy Israel completely. Jews have rooted  themselves under Islam. Islamic law does not want them to govern themselves in  the Middle East. Muslims these days don’t want to say it is their holy laws to  totally eradicate Israel. They complain of occupation. Israel left Gaza. In  response, Gaza took all their missiles to the border and started bombing Israel  again. This is something the West doesn’t understand. At the end of every Friday  prayer, I used to always hear that the Jews and the Christians must be  destroyed. This is something we grew up hearing every day. It is such a radical  system. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;RT: Is there anything  we haven’t touched on that you would add for our readers?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;ND: The dynamic of  the Muslim family, because of polygamy, is very different. Giving one man/one  woman marriage has given them [women] respect and honor. If you start giving  away the one man/one woman marriage in the West, we give away our future. The  reason the Muslim world is so angry is because the Muslim marriage has no  dignity and it humiliates women. A Muslim woman is so insecure in her marriage  and there is no trust between the family members. That is why the Christian  marriage and family unit is the most blessed thing America has. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt"&gt;RT: Thank you so  much, Nonie, for your valuable insights into Shariah Law and how it threatens us  right here in America, too.

BNZ has also pledged $1m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  The Salvation Army re-launched its Canterbury Earthquake Appeal, with  national fund raising co-ordinator Major Robbie Ross saying a tremendous  effort was required to help those already living with the hardships and  psychological effects of the original quake and its aftershocks.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  "Our experience with the September quake showed us the great emotional  shock such an event can have on people - and now there is the added  dimension of some people grieving for loved ones," he said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  "There will be myriad material needs by those who have lost possessions  and homes. We are appealing for cash donations to strengthen our  response."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  The Salvation Army also asked its members to pray for the people of Canterbury.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anyone wanting to donate to the &lt;b&gt;The Salvation Army&lt;/b&gt; appeal could call &lt;b&gt;0800 53 00 00&lt;/b&gt; or do it online at &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.salvationarmy.org.nz/" target="_blank"&gt;www.salvationarmy.org.nz&lt;/a&gt; or to Westpac account &lt;b&gt;03 0207 0617331 00.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div id="DivContentRect" style="position: relative;" class="advert"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;  "Our thoughts are with the people affected by today's earthquake, our  staff in the regions and their families who have been affected by  today's earthquake," ANZ New Zealand chief executive David Hisco said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  "It is terrible that they have had to go through another natural  disaster and of such devastating scale just as Christchurch was  attempting to rebuild and move on from the September earthquake.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  "Today's reports of loss of life and injury from this disaster are  simply overwhelming. Our sympathies are with all of those who have been  affected."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  Westpac New Zealand chief executive George Frazis said the thoughts and  support of the bank and its staff nationwide were with them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  "We particularly give our condolences to those families who have lost loved ones."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  BNZ chief executive Andrew Thorburn said his bank would be doing everything it could to support those who were suffering.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  The Auckland University Students' Association was first off the mark,  launching an immediate street appeal to raise money for the people of  Christchurch affected by the quake.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  "No words can express the horror of the scenes we have seen coming in  from Christchurch," association president Joe McCrory said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  "Thoughts of every University of Auckland student are with the people of Christchurch, their families and friends," he said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  Anyone wanting to make a donation should contact the association on &lt;b&gt;(09) 309 0789&lt;/b&gt;, or make a donation in person around the &lt;b&gt;Student Union Building&lt;/b&gt; on the University of Auckland campus.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  Meanwhile, Pike River Disaster Relief Trust chairman and Greymouth mayor  Tony Kokshoorn announced the trust would no longer accept donations for  the November mining disaster, which claimed 19 lives, and instead urged  people to donate to the Christchurch earthquake appeals.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  - NZPA&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-2524198501228836475?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/2524198501228836475/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=2524198501228836475&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/2524198501228836475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/2524198501228836475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-zealand-earthquake.html' title='New Zealand earthquake .'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-7338639779581600038</id><published>2011-01-06T20:12:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-01-06T20:35:13.720Z</updated><title type='text'>Is this the new Hitler or Stalin ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;Barroso spells out the real face of the E.U. in this speech , he leads an unelected dictatorship that now controls most of Europe ; he purports to be a democrat but is , in fact , a dictator . Like all dictators he is a coward , otherwise he would prove the legitimacy of his democratic pretensions by requiring all of the countries in the E.U. to hold binding referendums on whether to stay in the Union or to leave it . I would guess that the populations of the net contributing countries would vote to leave .&lt;br /&gt;I post an article from England Expects , a truly superb blog ; I am only sorry that I cannot link to it .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 class="date-header"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Wednesday, January 05, 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;                        &lt;a name="1749982824767486117"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title"&gt; &lt;a href="http://englandexpects.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011-bright-new-dawn-for-eu-eh.html"&gt;2011: A Bright New dawn for the EU.. Eh?&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div class="post-header"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt; Or at least that is what Mr Barroso seems to be suggesting with his &lt;a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=SPEECH/11/1&amp;amp;format=HTML&amp;amp;aged=0&amp;amp;language=EN&amp;amp;guiLanguage=en"&gt;speech today&lt;/a&gt; in Brussels,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The start of this New Year marks, I believe, an important  new phase in European integration. In this semester we will make real  progress on stronger economic governance and policy coordination in the  European Union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This semester's news will be clear: it is not only the so-called  "federalists" who want to see more economic governance and  co-ordination; it is the markets and also our international partners  that are expecting it. More economic governance and coordination is not  an ideological dream. It is a pragmatic need. Those defending it are not  utopians, but realists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Commission's proposals are on the table and we will keep driving  this agenda, and we will come with further policy initiatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact work has already been producing some results. On the 1st  January, the three new supervisory authorities for the financial markets  have begun their work.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I just want everybody to be clear about this, the people in favour of this are, according to the former Marxist,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1) Fedralists,&lt;br /&gt;2) Markets&lt;br /&gt;3) International partners.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well yes, I conceed that federasts might be keen on &lt;em&gt;"stronger economic governance and policy coordination"&lt;/em&gt;  they have always been in favour of it. But the markets? Really? They  may see it as one solution to the problem, but it isn't their be all and  end all in any way. Saying that the markets have a desire is weird in  itself. If they desire anything it is that they desire stability, but if  there was perfect stability then they would ossify, what they need is  compaetition, and of course having one size fits all policies certainly  does not encourage that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The City of London for example has not been vocal in its support for Mr  Barosso's exemplars, the new EU regulatory bodies of which he boasts. I  would love him to be able to point to the evidence that 'the markets'  have any such desire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International partners. Eh? Such as? The UN? What the hell is he talking  about here? Does China want to see this, or India, or anybody? Is he  just making it up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And even if these unamed international partners did indeed want what he  suggests they want, so what! Are we to set policy to please them? Is  that what it is all about? Doing what others want us to do, rather than  what we want to do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course there is something missing from his analysis isn't there?  Popular support. You know, those inconvient things, people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He bangs on about how he is such a democrat but neglects the one thing  that matters, the support of the people he purportedly represents. So a  pox on him and his claim to realism. Realism would make him realise that  he has no mandate, no legitimacy no support from those who matter for  any of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an addition, the remainder of his speech was such a hodge podge that it is hard to criticise, but here goes anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narked he is,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Let me tell you very frankly that I am unhappy with the progress made on energy efficiency.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Let  me tell you something, you condescending patronisng autocrat. I don't  care if you are disappointed with the countries of Europe. Who ever  thought it mattered whether you are disappointed or not? The nations and  peoples of Europe are not little children for you to tut at and wag  your stubby Iberian finger at. How dare you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they you compound this by being stupid as well. You want growth, but you want to cut energy use by 20%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work it out you lesser Faraday, you pygmoid genius, work it out. If you  and you cabal set binding figures of a 20% cut in energy use, then you  are going to get a cut in growth. It is that simple. To think otherwise  is not realisim, but the utopianism you deride and deny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just go home, take early retirement and let the people of this continent  run their own lives free from the hectoring idiocies and inanities that  spew ill-formed from your lacivious lips.  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;span class="post-author vcard"&gt; Posted by &lt;span class="fn"&gt;Gawain

We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Port o Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact.Our team was a rescue team and we carried special equipment that locates people buried under the rubble. There are easily 200,000 dead, the city smells like a charnal house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US Taxpayers money. The ones I ran into were either incompetent or outright anti American. Most are French or french speakers, worthless every damn one of them. While 1,800 rescuers were ready willing and able to leave the airport and go do our jobs, the UN and USAID ( another organization full of little OBamites and communists that openly speak against America) These two organizations exemplared their parochialism by:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;USAID, when in control of all inbound flights, had food and water flights stacked up all the way to Miami, yet allowed Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper and a host of other left wing news puppies to land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pulled all the security off the rescue teams so that Bill Clinton and his wife could have the grand tour, whilst we sat unable to get to people trapped in the rubble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stacked enough food and water for the relief over at the side of the airfield then put a guard on it while we dehydrated and wouldn't release a drop of it to the rescuers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No shower facilities to decontaminate after digging or moving corpses all day, except for the FEMA teams who brought their own shower and decon equipment, as well as air conditioned tents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No latrine facilities, less digging a hole if you set up a crapper everyone was trying to use it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched a 25 year old Obamite with the USAID shrieking hysterically, berate a full bird (0-6) Colonel in the Ai r Force, because he countermanded her orders, whilst trying to unscrew the air pattern. " You don't know what your president wants! The military isn't in charge here..... we are!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If any of you are thinking of giving money to the Haitian relief, or to the UN don't waste your money. It will only go to further the goals of the French and the Liberal left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we are a fair and even society, why is it that only white couples are adopting Haitian orphans. Where the hell is that vocal minority that is always screaming about the injustice of American society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bad place, bad situation, but a perfect look at the new world order in action. New Orleans magnified a thousand times. Haiti doesn't need democracy, what Haiti needs is Papa Doc. That's not just my opinion , that is what virtually every Haitian we talked with said. "The French run the UN......treat us the same as when we were a colony....., at least Papa Doc ran the country."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and as a last slap in the face the last four of us had to take US Airways home from Phoenix. They slapped me with a $590 baggage charge for the four of us. The girl at the counter was almost in tears because she couldn't give us a discount or she would lose her job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pass that on to the flying public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nick &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-6993705322016679176?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/6993705322016679176/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=6993705322016679176&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/6993705322016679176'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/6993705322016679176'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2010/01/americans-view-of-aid-effort-in-haiti.html' title='An Americans view of the aid effort in Haiti .'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-2412330756336329291</id><published>2009-12-24T19:20:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-12-24T19:32:11.740Z</updated><title type='text'>Christmastide .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SzPBohjiNXI/AAAAAAAAARk/EUKpJCalECA/s1600-h/merry+christmas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

&lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;           &lt;p align="justify"&gt;True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!-- TEXT BLOCK 2 --&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!-- TEXT BLOCK 3 --&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!-- TEXT BLOCK 4 --&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!-- TEXT BLOCK 5 --&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!-- TEXT BLOCK 6 --&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.

Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE.

The &lt;a linkindex="86" href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008/12/germanic-languages-and-history-of.html"&gt;English language&lt;/a&gt; once conquered the world. Now the rest of the world is conquering the English-speaking countries. If current trends continue, people in Singapore will know English while the nation that created the English language will cease to exist.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the same time as sharia law has gained official recognition as a &lt;a linkindex="87" href="http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/index.php/2008/09/16/britain-adopts-sharia/"&gt;part of the British legal system&lt;/a&gt; and Muslims &lt;a set="yes" linkindex="88" href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1683635.ece"&gt;proudly talk&lt;/a&gt; about conquering the Western world, a British woman was arrested because of a supposedly &lt;a linkindex="89" href="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1067036_woman_arrested_over_golly_doll"&gt;"racist" doll&lt;/a&gt; she kept in her window. In &lt;a linkindex="90" href="http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/1495"&gt;al-Britannia&lt;/a&gt; a Muslim man can claim benefits for children with multiple wives and brag about subduing the country and reducing its traditional inhabitants to second-rate citizens or worse, but you cannot have a "racially insensitive" doll in your own home, at least not if you're white.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In my book &lt;a linkindex="91" href="http://www.lulu.com/content/4730263"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Defeating Eurabia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, I have a chapter about the situation in Britain. Since I'm already here I can again repeat that the book, which is available &lt;a linkindex="92" href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008/10/defeating-eurabia-part-5.html"&gt;online&lt;/a&gt; as well in a printed version, can be republished for free online or in print and translated to other languages by anybody who wants to, as long as they do not represent a totalitarian ideology. I actively encourage people to do so.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In a &lt;a linkindex="93" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1576704/Don%27t-treat-the-old-and-unhealthy%2C-say-doctors.html"&gt;survey published in April 2008&lt;/a&gt;, one in three medical doctors in Britain said that elderly patients should not be given free treatment if it were unlikely to do them good for long. At the same time, Muslim men with multiple wives have been given the go-ahead to &lt;a linkindex="94" href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/019791.php"&gt;claim extra welfare benefits&lt;/a&gt;. Baroness Warnock, an influential government "ethical" adviser &lt;a linkindex="95" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2983652/Baroness-Warnock-Dementia-sufferers-may-have-a-duty-to-die.html"&gt;suggests&lt;/a&gt; that elderly dementia sufferers may have a "duty to die" because they are a financial burden to the state. Elderly Brits have to die, with or without "encouragement," so that the state can afford to pay for all the Nigerians and Bangladeshis who flood the country. The "welfare state" now means that the natives should watch grandma die because she's getting old anyway and we need the money to pay Muslims with multiple wives and numerous children so that they can feel comfortable while they colonize the country.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These incidents may seem unrelated, but they are not. Make no mistake about it: Harassing the natives in order to crush them mentally and destroy any ideas they might harbor about defending their country against foreign colonization is a deliberate strategy on the part of the authorities and the ruling Multiculturalist oligarchy, whether you identify this as the British Labour Party or the European Union (both are correct). Of course, this is about the &lt;a linkindex="96" href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008/09/text-of-geert-wilders-speech-to.html"&gt;entire Western world&lt;/a&gt;, not just Britain, but Britain is arguably the worst example of all. I am not aware of arrests for "racist" dolls even in Sweden, Belgium or al-Canada, and they are bad cases of suicidal Multiculturalism. Britain in 2009 is no longer the nation that gave us Shakespeare, Newton or Adam Smith; it is the world's largest open-air prison, an enlarged Marxist reeducation camp, a horror story where the authorities wage cultural and demographic warfare against the indigenous people of the country. The only good news is that I sense that native Britons are getting angrier by the day, and will not go quietly into the night.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These destructive trends are not limited to Britain, however. In a comment to &lt;a linkindex="97" href="http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/3775"&gt;Takuan Seiyo's latest essay&lt;/a&gt; in his terrific series "From Meccania to Atlantis" at &lt;em&gt;The Brussels Journal&lt;/em&gt;, American blog reader Queen made the &lt;a linkindex="98" href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/01/if-youre-going-to-san-francisco.html#c3771733186147248075"&gt;following comment&lt;/a&gt; about the situation in California:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"San Francisco is a Third World toilet. It has a higher per capita murder rate than New York, and one almost as high as Chicago's. It smells bad (the sewers have been malfunctioning for years), and is dirty and shabby. The city budget is 450 million dollars in the red, but they recently spent several hundred thousand dollars on a campaign to provide illegal immigrants with a city ID card so that they could 'access' free city services. Seiyo doesn't mention the worst aspect of the Bologna family slaughter: the illegal immigrant killer was protected from deportation by a taxpayer funded program that paid to ship under-age illegal immigrant crack dealers/gangbangers to 'group homes' in other parts of California so that the feds could not find them and deport them. Those in the 'group homes' simply walked away from them and returned to a life of crime and murder in SF. Too bad for the Bologna family which lost their father and two sons. One wonders how a city that depends on tourism for most of its economy cannot see that it won't survive its descent into Third World toiletude."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;It used to be said that trends that start in California today will be evident in the rest of the United States tomorrow. If this remains true, I guess that means that the United States will soon be a Third World entity. I see no reason to expect that this decline will stop under the administration of President Obama, who has for a generation been a member of an organization of anti-white Marxists dedicated to hating the majority population of the country. This only happens in white majority Western countries, since white people have been publicly demonized for so long that many of them believe that they deserve this kind of abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contrary to the absurd claims about "Eurocentrism," Europeans are traditionally the least ethnocentric people on the planet, which is why we invented sciences such as archaeology because only we possessed the scholarly objectivity to do so. So we are the least ethnocentric peoples on Earth, yet the only ones constantly attacked for ethnocentrism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could add that I don't gloat over the plight of the United States. As indicated in my essay &lt;a linkindex="99" href="http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/3613"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Barack Hussein Obama and the Triumph of Marxism&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, I was apparently one of few Europeans who didn't support the election of Obama. I'm tired of seeing Europeans gloat over the fact that the USA is sinking, just as I am tired of seeing some Americans gloat over Europe's decline. The entire Western world is currently in decline, not just in relative terms as a percentage of the global population or economy, but in real terms as functioning societies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That being said, although all Western countries without exception are sinking under the weight of &lt;strong&gt;Third World&lt;/strong&gt; mass immigration and in the process becoming a part of the &lt;strong&gt;Third World&lt;/strong&gt;, they are not sinking equally fast. With the exception of &lt;strong&gt;France&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Belgium&lt;/strong&gt; and possibly &lt;strong&gt;the Netherlands&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Sweden&lt;/strong&gt;, the English-speaking world is leading the disintegration of the West, ideologically and demographically. The entire West is sick, but the Anglosphere is sicker than most. The English-speaking countries still have the most dynamic military traditions of the West, but that counts for little as long as they are used for promoting global Multiculturalism rather than for protecting the home country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot see that the Anglosphere has more freedom of speech than Continental European countries, either. The USA with its First Amendment does, which is great (we'll see what their new President does about that), but al-Canada is plain nuts and Britain is a Multicultural banana republic. Australia and New Zealand could be a part of Greater China by mid-century. Maybe they will be more prosperous than France will be as a part of Greater Algeria or the United States as a part of Greater Mexico, but by then they will be Asians, not Westerners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure why the Anglosphere is so bad. In the case of Britain, I strongly suspect it's partly caused by a Post-Imperial Stress Syndrome for a nation that once ruled much of the world and now cannot even rule its own suburbs. Empire was their identity. Much of the same can be said about the French. Indeed I suspect that one of their motivations for supporting the awful EU project is for them to resurrect some of their past imperial glory in another form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet this cannot explain the actions of the United States, which is still the world's greatest power although that may not last forever. There is some form of universal proposition nation idea with roots dating back to the Enlightenment at work here. It's the concept that a country is not a nation based on a shared heritage, but an abstract entity which can be joined by absolutely anybody, a bit like an enlarged video club. If you claim that the United States is a "universal" nation and that Hamas-supporting Muslims, with which Westerners have absolutely nothing in common, can and should be imported to the USA, then you are a supporter of the concept of a proposition nation. This idea will eventually kill the United States as we once knew it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Western elites are committed post-national Globalists. The EU oligarchs want to import &lt;a linkindex="100" href="http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/65628"&gt;50 million&lt;/a&gt; Africans, in addition to expanding the open borders of the EU to include Muslim North Africa and the Middle East. As I've documented in my essays, this is a planned destruction of all European and indeed Western nation states through transnational organizations such as the EU and the UN, in cooperation with local Multiculturalists. There is nothing accidental about this. We need to support, as a matter of principle, all European patriots who fight for their country and their dignity, provided that they do not champion totalitarian ideologies. We're all in the same boat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suppose the natives in some Western European countries actually start to seriously resist the organized destruction of their countries, halt mass immigration and reverse Multiculturalism. How will American authorities and media react to this? Frankly, I wouldn't be too surprised if they turn out to be actively hostile to the European natives. Europeans should reach out to American individuals. They are victims of the same Multicultural war against European civilization as we are. But we should expect no sympathy from the American elites. They are a hostile entity just as much as the EU elites are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we know, a "Nazi" these days is not one of the Muslims and their Leftist cheerleaders who shout "Death to Jews!" in the streets of Europe; it's any white person who doesn't lie down and die on command. If we don't lie down, we must be Nazis. We are after all Europeans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europeans have learned the wrong lessons from Nazism. For instance, the European Union is now actively and deliberately promoting Islamic immigration to Europe by the tens of millions, knowing fully well that they will gradually displace the original inhabitants of the continent. They also know that the people who move in have a culture of extreme anti-Semitism and despise Christianity, just as the Nazis did. Eurabianism has disturbing similarities with Nazism in some ways and with Communism in others. The EU is promoting Lebensraum for a new master race in Europe, just like the Nazis did. They only disagree on which master race to promote. The resurgence of violent anti-Semitism is directly caused by the policies of the EU and the national political elites. To hear them denounce others as "Fascists" is the ultimate fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The EU is currently the planet's most evil organization, an institutionalized attack on the very existence of the native peoples of an entire continent, the most influential and creative civilization in human history. The EU is an organized crime against humanity and we should support absolutely everything that can undermine it as well as Globalism and Multiculturalism throughout the Western world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, the English-speaking world, and the United States in particular, is responsible for championing one of the most dangerous ideas of our time: the proposition nation. Everybody from Saudi Arabia to Somalia can supposedly be imported to the USA and the American political system should be exported to other cultures, by force if necessary. The USA is supposed to be a "universal nation," but there is no such thing. Under Obama, I fear that the USA will no longer be the land of the free, home of the brave, but rather a global enforcer of non-discrimination and Diversity, the Multicultural Empire. Some would argue that this was the case already under Clinton and Bush, but it certainly will be the case now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The European Union is a different kind of Multicultural Empire, although it, too, champions a form of proposition nation. I suspect that the idea ultimately dates back to some of the worse strands of Enlightenment thought. The French, who to a great extent have created the ideological and bureaucratic basis of the EU, have their own ideas about assimilating people from all around the world. Those of us who live in Western Europe thus have the misfortune of being exposed to the influence of no less than two Multicultural Empires at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "conservative" French President Sarkozy, who praised Arabic as the language of science and high civilization after millions of Frenchmen voted for him in the hope that he would defend France and French culture, has stated that it is a duty for the French to become &lt;a linkindex="101" href="http://galliawatch.blogspot.com/2009/01/engineer-of-diversity.html"&gt;less French&lt;/a&gt;, culturally and genetically, and that the state should aggressively promote this agenda. The goal of Multiculturalism is to destroy a once-great European nation and turn it into an Islamic-dominated Third World entity. Make no mistake about it: This is what Multiculturalists have in store for all of us, if we do not stop them.jords&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Having read it what are YOU going to do about it !!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-3288117399604289669?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/3288117399604289669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=3288117399604289669&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/3288117399604289669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/3288117399604289669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2009/02/we-must-read-this-and-act.html' title='We must read this and act .'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-5851790448403319769</id><published>2009-01-27T21:58:00.004Z</published><updated>2009-01-27T22:16:24.385Z</updated><title type='text'>What would happen if a White Christian did this ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SX-EivGozII/AAAAAAAAAP8/ta5J6iTPXt0/s1600-h/Lord+Ahmed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SX-EivGozII/AAAAAAAAAP8/ta5J6iTPXt0/s400/Lord+Ahmed.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296097419105717378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                                              The ignoble Lord Ahmed .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;From Cranmer comes this report of the " equality " that we English suffer at the hands of  members of the religion of peace , in this case Lord Ahmed .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;" It appears that a member of the House of Lords had invited the Dutch politician, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" set="yes" linkindex="3" href="http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2009/01/dutch-mp-geert-wilders-to-be-prosecuted.html"&gt;Geert Wilders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, to a private meeting in the Palace of Westminster.

It is also disgusting that no government official or new media has even investigated this clear evidence of discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please keep the below in mind the next time you go to your muslim doctor or dentist and remember that he does not place YOU or YOUR HEALTH as a priority.  Muslim's come first by their very own "code of (un) ethics".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="pageHeading"&gt;Constitution &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="main"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.mdda.org.uk/web/images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="5" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="main"&gt;The Muslim Doctors and Dentisits Association UK (M.D.D.A.

This includes educational standards, personal ethics and behaviour. The extent to which the GMC should question personal ethics and behaviour if they do not impinge on medical practice may be debated. They have a number of publications, many of which are available at their website. The booklet "Good Medical Practice"&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a linkindex="194" href="http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/40000020/#ref4"&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; is sent to all doctors and available on-line. The start of the document is quoted:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;Patients must be able to trust doctors with their lives and well-being. To justify that trust, we as a profession have a duty to maintain a good standard of practice and care and to show respect for human life. In particular as a doctor you must: &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make the care of your patient your first concern.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Treat every patient politely and considerately.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Respect patients' dignity and privacy.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Listen to patients and respect their views.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Give patients information in a way they can understand.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Respect the rights of patients to be fully involved in decisions about their care.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Keep your professional knowledge and skills up to date.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Recognise the limits of your professional competence.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be honest and trustworthy.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Respect and protect confidential information.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make sure that your personal beliefs do not prejudice your patients' care.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Act quickly to protect patients from risk if you have good reason to believe that you or a colleague may not be fit to practise. &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Avoid abusing your position as a doctor.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Work with colleagues in the ways that best serve patients' interests. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clearly the MMDDA UK is in violation of the standards of medical practise as stated above.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;       &lt;a linkindex="198" class="chicklet digg" href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&amp;amp;title=Trust+Your+Muslim+Doctor%3f+---+Think+Again&amp;amp;url=http%3a%2f%2fuppompeii1.uppompeii.com%2f2008%2f12%2f29%2ftrust-your-muslim-doctor--think-again.aspx" target="digg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-794056368929666836?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/794056368929666836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=794056368929666836&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/794056368929666836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/794056368929666836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2008/12/medical-ethics-2.html' title='Medical Ethics ?

It is the flag of the European Union, so I will place it here in front of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be a tough Presidency. The Czech Republic will have to deal with the work directive and climate package. EU climate package represents less than what our fraction would wish for. It will be necessary to hold on to the minimum of that. I am certain that the climate change represents not only a risk, but also a danger for the future development of the planet. My view is based on scientific views and majority approval of the EP and I know you disagree with me. You can believe what you want, I don't believe, I know that global warming is a reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisbon Treaty: I don't care about your opinions on it. I want to know what you are going to do if the Czech Chamber of Deputies and the Senate approve it. Will you respect the will of the representatives of the people? You will have to sign it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want you to explain to me what is the level of your friendship with Mr Ganley from Ireland. How can you meet a person whose funding is unclear? You are not supposed to meet him in your function. It is a man whose finances come from problematic sources and he wants to use them to be funding his election campaign into the EP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;President Vaclav Klaus:&lt;/strong&gt; I must say that nobody has talked to me in such a style and tone for the past 6 years. You are not on the barricades in Paris here. I thought that these manners ended for us 18 years ago but I see I was wrong. I would not dare to ask how the activities of the Greens are funded. If you are concerned about a rational discussion in this half an hour, which we have, please give the floor to someone else, Mr Chairman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EU Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering:&lt;/strong&gt; No, we have plenty of time. My colleague will continue, because anyone from the members of the EP can ask you whatever he likes. (to Cohn-Bendit:) Please continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;President Vaclav Klaus:&lt;/strong&gt; This is incredible. I have never experienced anything like this before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daniel Cohn-Bendit:&lt;/strong&gt; Because you have not experienced me..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pesident Vaclav Klaus:&lt;/strong&gt; This is incredible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daniel Cohn-Bendit:&lt;/strong&gt; We have always had good talks with President Havel. And what will you tell me about your attitude towards the anti-discrimination law? I will gladly inform you about our funding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hans-Gert Pöttering:&lt;/strong&gt; Brian Crowley, please.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Crowley MEP:&lt;/strong&gt; I am from Ireland and I am a member of a party in government. All his life my father fought against the British domination. Many of my relatives lost their lives. That is why I dare to say that the Irish wish for the Lisbon Treaty. It was an insult, Mr. President, to me and to the Irish people what you said during your state visit to Ireland. It was an insult that you met Declan Ganley, a man with no elected mandate. This man has not proven the sources from which his campaign was funded. I just want to inform you what the Irish felt. I wish you that you get the programme of your Presidency through and you will get through what European citizens want to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;President Vaclav Klaus:&lt;/strong&gt; Thank you for this experience which I gained from this meeting. I did not think anything like this is possible and have not experienced anything like this for the past 19 years. I thought it was a matter of the past that we live in democracy, but it is post-democracy, really, which rules the EU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You mentioned the European values. The most important value is freedom and democracy. The citizens of the EU member states are concerned about freedom and democracy, above all. But democracy and freedom are losing ground in the EU today. It is necessary to strive for them and fight for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to emphasize, above all, what most citizens of the Czech Republic feel, that for us the EU membership has no alternative. It was me who submitted the EU application in the year 1996 and who signed the Accession treaty in 2003. But the arrangements within the EU have many alternatives. To take one of them as sacrosanct, untouchable, about which it is not possible to doubt or criticize it, is against the very nature of Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the Lisbon Treaty, I would like to mention that it is not ratified in Germany either. The Constitutional Treaty, which was basically the same as the Lisbon Treaty, was refused in referendums in other two countries. If Mr. Crowley speaks of an insult to the Irish people, then I must say that the biggest insult to the Irish people is not to accept the result of the Irish referendum. In Ireland I met somebody who represents a majority in his country. You, Mr. Crowley, represent a view which is in minority in Ireland. That is a tangible result of the referendum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Crowley MEP:&lt;/strong&gt; With all respect, Mr. President, you will not tell me what the Irish think. As an Irishman, I know it best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;President Vaclav Klaus:&lt;/strong&gt; I do not speculate about what the Irish think. I state the only measurable data which were proved by the referendum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our country the Lisbon Treaty is not ratified because our parliament has not decided on it yet. It is not the President's fault. Let's wait for the decision of both Chambers of the Parliament, that is the current phase of the ratification process in which the President plays no role whatsoever. I cannot sign the Treaty today, it is not on my table, it is up to the parliament to decide about it now. My role will come after the eventual approval of the Treaty in the Parliament. . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hans-Gert Pöttering:&lt;/strong&gt; ... In the conclusion - and I want to leave this room in good terms - I would like to say that it is more than unacceptable, if you compare us, compare us with the Soviet Union. We are all deeply rooted in our countries and our constituencies. We are concerned about freedom and reconciliation in Europe, we are good willing, not naïve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;President Vaclav Klaus:&lt;/strong&gt; I did not compare you with the Soviet Union, I did not mention the word[s] "Soviet Union".

I leave Longrider to state his own position :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;As I write this, Longrider Towers is awash with boxes, full of possessions gathered over the past two decades. Slowly, the house is becoming depersonalised in preparation for the new occupant. On Thursday evening we will drive to Portsmouth to catch the evening ferry and make our home across the channel. &lt;p&gt;This is the culmination of an idea that germinated when travelling through the Larzac in the summer of 1990. An idea that grew into buying a house and spending every available holiday for the past five years working to make it a home. There was a point a couple of years back, one starlit night in the quiet moments as one year died and a new one started, when I made the mental adjustment and there was more home than here. Now, looking at the home we’ve known for twenty-one years, I am ready to go.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When we first thought about living in France, our motivation was the countryside, the climate, the pace of life and the French way of doing things. A love/hate relationship with France became more love than hate. In the meantime, my love for my homeland has descended into contempt. Contempt for a population that is so passive that it fails to hold its political class to account. The French will bring the country to a grinding halt if their politicians upset them. They are not always right, but their willingness to say “non!” has my admiration just as the willingness of the British to accept the erosion of our civil liberties with a shrug earns my utmost derision. I have watched in despair as the righteous have eaten away like a cancer at the things that made this nation so great, that made Britain a wonderful place to live. No longer are we free to speak our minds for fear of the industry so willing and ready to take offence, of the righteous who decide what is “acceptable” or not. Thought crime is becoming a reality in 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; Century Britain.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We live in a country that has reversed the presumption of innocence, that undermines the very principle of justice, where mere suspicion is sufficient justification for the state to seize assets, where law is made on the basis of prejudice and puritan morality rather than reason, evidence or justice, where the citizen is being criminalised and treated as a suspect, where the police are becoming politicised and no longer adopt the Peelian principles, where politicians believe they, not the electorate, are the masters; politicians who treat the electorate with open contempt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is a land where youngsters leaving education have A* exam grades yet are barely able to string a sentence together, and mathematical illiterates such as I have to explain to them how to work out percentages. Where our history is being lost or rewritten, a nation that is being taught to be ashamed of its past rather than proud of its heritage.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;France is not a common law country, but the French are not followed wherever they go by surveillance cameras, they are not subject to constant demands by the state to poke about in their business. If the state did, they would call a general strike and mean it. The French, when faced with law they do not like, will either get it changed or ignore it. Their national belligerence is something we have forgotten to our cost. I can travel almost all the way to Montpellier and come across only one set of traffic lights and they are switched off. The only speed camera is well signposted and if I take the back road I won’t see one at all. The standard of driving is better, more disciplined and courteous. Oh, and I can sit in my back garden in the summer, in the shade beneath my walnut tree and the loudest thing I will hear is next door’s chickens.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Yes, I’m going for the quality of life. I always was. It’s just a shame, though, that my own country has changed such that I want to leave it behind.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;All that said, I’ll be back in December to work…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-8076519494221171034?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/8076519494221171034/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=8076519494221171034&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/8076519494221171034'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/8076519494221171034'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2008/11/comment-on-our-nation.html' title='A comment on our nation .'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-6099839729117777585</id><published>2008-11-17T17:18:00.002Z</published><updated>2008-11-17T17:26:31.709Z</updated><title type='text'>Update .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SSGpLv1voAI/AAAAAAAAALU/1scldNJCUV0/s1600-h/SnowChicago.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 261px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SSGpLv1voAI/AAAAAAAAALU/1scldNJCUV0/s400/SnowChicago.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269679058285731842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;What better way to update the last post than by posting the comment by Doc.

My son , Doc Jr. , who returns to his home in Chicago is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;ecstatic&lt;/span&gt;  and discibes what as taken place as iconic , things will never be the same again .&lt;br /&gt;You will know that I have backed Sarah Plain and the sight of Republicans booing her was sickening , they seem to have picked her as the scapegoat , when to pick an old man , lacking in charisma , to go up against a vibrant young man was entirely the fault of the party .

The people have had to stand back and watch their national governments and the E.U. make Muslims "preferred" citizens . Benefits , housing , household goods and cars , all are given to the immigrant people ; our own people in need are given very little .&lt;br /&gt;Yes , the native populations could do something about it ; sheer force of numbers would prevail in any confrontation , however our governments relies on the fact that we are law abiding citizens . The immigrants , on the other hand , care nothing for our laws and break them with impunity , knowing that the police are reluctant to take action against them . Islam has already won , I wish that it was not so .&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="comment-timestamp"&gt;Saturday, September 20, 2008 1:22:00 AM&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-6429494973767996194?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/6429494973767996194/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=6429494973767996194&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/6429494973767996194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/6429494973767996194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2008/09/comment.html' title='A comment.'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-3476475025096353194</id><published>2008-09-18T21:50:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-18T22:23:38.186+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The death of the British way of life .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SNLFWuWiMJI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/ZD2NZHGVYzc/s1600-h/180px-KetchumHanging.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SNLFWuWiMJI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/ZD2NZHGVYzc/s400/180px-KetchumHanging.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247473510030389394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Am I depressed ,despondent or just plain fed-up , no I am livid ; that this once proud nation has been reduced to a state of penury and subservience is enough to induce apoplexy in the mildest of men .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How the " greatest Chancellor in history " , one Gordon  Brown , could so miss-manage the country's economy so badly  is beyond belief . To reduce the people of this nation to a poverty level not seen since the war years , and that was not a governmental failing , such that even the middle classes are suffering and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;drastically&lt;/span&gt;  cutting back , is not easy to do .

Hardly! Those national parliaments which have ratified the Lisbon Treaty have been asleep. Many, if not most, &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;members of these parliaments have admitted they have not even read the Lisbon Treaty, preferring to entrust its construction to professional lawyers.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;However, the authors of the Treaty have undoubtedly studied the earlier treaties carefully, to ascertain that all that they desired was carried over in the new treaty, while everything we the people want, was omitted. Government officials, therefore, have quietly but deliberately, chosen to preserve the nasty crime, paedophilia, so that it is now in our culture.&lt;/em&gt; Why?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The explanation is simple: they want to placate the Arab muslims. &lt;strong&gt;The supposedly holy prophet was happy with little girls, and even his deputy, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeinei wrote in his book Tahrirolvasyleh in 1990: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“A man can have sexual pleasure of a child as young as a baby. But he should not penetrate her vagina.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;” &lt;strong&gt;However, he declared the second form of child sex abuse is acceptable ….”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This sounds ridiculous to a sane person’s ears, but actually, Europe, with France in the lead, has worked hard for a cultural, political and economic alliance / entente (”Eurabia”) with the Arab countries, particularly since the oil crisis in 1973. Of course, this “cooperation” includes the acceptance of Muslim culture including child pornography and even abuse - on European soil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Verdana;font-size:11;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can our politicians and our most senior lawyers have allowed this disgusting practice become a part of our way of life?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can they REALLY have DELIBERATELY made paedophilia legal?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT ELSE IS IN THIS DAMNED LISBON TREATY?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THESE POLITICANS AND LAWYERS WHO HAVE GRANTED CHILD ABUSE RESPECTABILITY?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;As to the answer to the last question in the post , it involves 15ft. of hemp rope and a lamp post .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-8003194354121073666?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/8003194354121073666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=8003194354121073666&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/8003194354121073666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/8003194354121073666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2008/09/paedophilia-is-legalised-by-eu.html' title='Paedophilia is legalised by the E.U.'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-8379234211679328888</id><published>2008-09-02T22:03:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-02T22:27:45.091+01:00</updated><title type='text'>McCain--Palin  2008 .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SL2qXxepVpI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/E1jpcNUVacs/s1600-h/ticket_main.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SL2qXxepVpI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/E1jpcNUVacs/s400/ticket_main.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241532866724714130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;It is not often that I comment on U.S. politics , however I am moved to do so following the disgusting treatment that Sarah &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Palin&lt;/span&gt; is getting on both sides of the Atlantic . The Times contained sneering articles re: Mrs. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Palin&lt;/span&gt; , the repetition of scurrilous lies and innuendo , it's petty mindedness is all too apparent for anyone open minded . Indeed it's &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt; bias makes balanced reporting all but impossible  ,&lt;br /&gt;but when did the truth ever get in the way of a " good story " .&lt;br /&gt;I am particularly upset at the fake sympathy regarding her 17 year old daughters pregnancy , how many politicians have sent their girls away to " Europe " as an excuse to have a child quietly and get it adopted , or even for them to have an abortion . Probably too many to count ; however Sarah &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Palin&lt;/span&gt; did what many mothers do in that situation , give her a hug and get on with dealing with the situation , if nothing else &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Palin&lt;/span&gt; is human , how few politicians have that quality .&lt;br /&gt;The Democrats make much of her inexperience , but she has more executive experience the either &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Biden&lt;/span&gt; , she is at this moment the Commander in Chief of the Alaskan  National  Guard and running one of the largest States in the Union .

What is being overlooked, however is the other side of the story. There were equally barbaric acts committed by Albanians, Croats and others, but these for some reason have been going unpunished at the Hague Tribunals, with witnesses intimidated or mysteriously dying or disappearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There can be no justification for the kinds of acts that were carried out at Srebrenica in the Balkan Wars by Mladic, where thousands of Moslem men and boys were rounded up by The Serbs and machine gunned to death in the football stadium. As far as the world's media were concerned, these acts were committed by Serbs as if they had come from nowhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you try to understand why a man like Mladic could find committing such acts to be justifiable to his own conscience, you could ask a little more about his background and life's experiences. It turns out that in WW2 his father fought as a partisan and, when he was captured, that he was tortured and murdered by the Ustase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a set="yes" linkindex="5" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DvlWo60SGRg/SKgfyAh41sI/AAAAAAAABBQ/O9B2poMBrfA/s1600-h/franceticumem.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DvlWo60SGRg/SKgfyAh41sI/AAAAAAAABBQ/O9B2poMBrfA/s400/franceticumem.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235469510814258882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The NAZI-supporting Croatians murdered millions of Serbs, gypsies and Jews during the war, and yet unlike the Serbs who are being hunted and condemned as criminals for relatively lesser acts of imitation, the Croatians and Albanian murderers have been allowed to live and work unchallenged, many treated to this day as national heroes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Franceticu (pictured) who commanded The Black Legion. There has been a memorial plinth saluting him as a hero on public display in Croatia up to the present day, and yet he was responsible for the murder of tens of thousands of Serbs. The Black Legion operated out of Srebrenica in Bosnia.

While condemning modern Russian and Serbian brutality, it is worth trying to see things from a more objective viewpoint than is achievable if you take the story only as presented by the world's media. In war there is often little justice, and it is not sensible to put ascribing guilt for the past in front of achieving peace for the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Serbs are asking that the world negotiates with them about the loss of Kosovo. They are being refused the privilege of being treated as the sovereign nation, and they are being portrayed as the wrongdoers by the world's media at every turn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Western Europe were to be thinking about its future role in the world and seeking its own security, it would not be so blatantly humiliating a key ally of Russia.

This doctor lives and works in Scotland, but strangely a &lt;a href="http://ferretfancier.blogspot.com/2008/08/prof-paice-what-leading-light.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;key figure behind the government's reforms&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a lady called Prof Elisabeth &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Paice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, happened to be reading his words on this private &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;DNUK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; forum and she reported these comments directly to one of her chums in the Highland Deanery. The doctor was then immediately suspended despite the fact that the comments were withdrawn from the forum rather rapidly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The abuse of power that has occurred here seems to typify the way in which the filth who rule us 'govern' this country. &lt;a href="http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=35&amp;amp;storycode=4120357&amp;amp;c=2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pulse has spoken to Prof &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Paice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; who tried to defend her position by claiming that she felt compelled to complain directly to this doctor's Dean due to the ‘&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;excrementous&lt;/span&gt; and scatological’ language used.

Today Georgia , in the middle of a Georgian led ceasefire , invaded South Ossetia ( shades of Pearl Harbour )  and tried to take contrl of the country . Georgia claims that it is only re-uniting a part of its territory , a stance backed by both the U.S. and the E.U. ; oh wait ! did not those two states  say that Serbia could not regain its sovereign territory , Kosova , and did they not send troops in to defend Kosovo .&lt;br /&gt;In response to this invasion , Russia sent in troops to protect its peacekeepers and its citizens , a most proper reaction in my view ; the Great Hypocrites , the Yanks and EU , back Georgia and tell Russia to withdraw its troops . This is reported on the BBC news and Sky news ; the corrupt BBC bias its reporting with 90% of the interviews being pro-Georgian and referring to the South Ossetians as rebels , such balanced reporting . Sky news on the other hand gave a balanced view and discussed the issues from both sides , and also made the comparison with Kosovo , it was not a propaganda site for the lies of the Georgian President  . I never thought that I would praise Sky news , but well done .&lt;br /&gt;It is reported that George Bush spoke to Vladimir Putin while they are together in China , I hope that Putin kicks the Georgian butt and the Yanks too , if they get in the way .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-6904936999687391858?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/6904936999687391858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=6904936999687391858&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/6904936999687391858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/6904936999687391858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2008/08/chickens-come-home-to-roost.html' title='Chickens come home to roost .'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SJyOh3te_-I/AAAAAAAAAJU/37bPUy10CPw/s72-c/chechnya_russia19.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-4447141362016739743</id><published>2008-08-02T20:00:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-02T20:04:00.379+01:00</updated><title type='text'>A proposed Ammendment to the U.S. Constitution ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;This was posted on the blog Gates of Vienna , I do not know the status of this proposed legislation , or it's chance of success ;

Proceeds from sales of such properties may be distributed to congregations of said places but full disclosure of all proceeds shall be made to an appropriate agency as determined by Congress. No compensation is to be offered by Federal or State agencies for losses on such properties however Federal funding is to be available for the demolishing of said structures if other disposition cannot be made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The preaching of Islam in Mosques, Schools, and other venues is prohibited. The subject of Islam may be taught in a post high school academic environment provided that instruction include discussion of Islam’s history of violence, conquest, and its ongoing war on democratic and other non-Islamic values.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The preaching or advocating of Islamic ideals of world domination, destruction of America and democratic institutions, jihad against Judaism, Christianity and other religions, and advocating the implementation of Sharia law shall in all cases be punishable by fines, imprisonment, deportation, and death as prescribed by Congress. Violent expressions of these and other Muslim goals, or the material support of those both in the United States and around the world who seek to advance these Islamic goals shall be punishable by death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslims will be denied the opportunity to immigrate to the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article IV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing in this amendment shall be construed as authorizing the discrimination against, of violence upon, nor repudiation of the individual rights of those Americans professing to be Muslim.

I have submitted thousands of comments to all of the Reports. My comments on the Fourth IPCC Report, all 1,898 of them, are to be found at IPCC (2007) and  my opinions of the IPCC are in Gray (2008b)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am therefore very familiar with the arguments presented by the IPCC, many of which have now been copied by the Royal Society of New Zealand, and the responses to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will first comment on the Introduction&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to make absolutely clear what the evidence is for climate change and anthropogenic (human-induced) causes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The climate has always changed and always will. No evidence whatsoever for a human contribution to the climate is given in their following statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their Summary is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The globe is warming&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This statement is a lie. The globe is currently cooling. According to the CSSP Report (Karl et al 2007), there are currently nine authorities currently involved in providing a dataset of monthly global temperature anomalies. They are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOAA’s National Climate Data Center (NCDC, GHCN-COADS)&lt;br /&gt;NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS)&lt;br /&gt;Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia (HadCRUT2v)&lt;br /&gt;NOAA radiosonde network ,  (RATPAC)&lt;br /&gt;Hadley Centre Radiosonde Network (HadAT2)&lt;br /&gt;University of Alabama  Lower Troposphere TLT  MSU  (UAH )&lt;br /&gt;Remote Sensing Systems Lower Troposphere TLT MSU (RSS)&lt;br /&gt;National Center for Environmental Protection Reanalysis (NCEP50)&lt;br /&gt;European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts  Reanalysis  (ERA40)                                                                                                                  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight of these authorities agree that the globe is currently cooling. Only GISS disagrees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No evidence is presented to justify this conclusion. There are “projections” of computer models but these are not predictions, they are merely the results of assumptions made in the model. No “projected” result has ever been successfully related to an actual change in the climate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measurements show that greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;are well above levels seen for many thousands of years.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This statement is a lie. 90,000 measurements published in peer-reviewed journals since 1850, some by Nobel Prize-winners, have been suppressed by the IPCC because they do not agree with this statement. (Beck 2007). Stability of carbon dioxide in ice cores thousands of years old is questionable. (Jaworowski 2007).  Recent measurements of carbon dioxide are confined only to exceptional circumstances over the ocean, and do not include measurements over land. (Manning et al 1994).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Further global climate changes are predicted,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is another lie. Computer models of the climate have never been shown to be capable of prediction, and the IPCC recognises this by using the term “projections” for the output from the models. This statement refers only to greenhouse gas concentrations anyway, not to any other “global climate change”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;with impacts expected to become more costly as time progresses.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Expected” by whom?.  By “experts” whose finance depends on favourable “expectations”. On what basis?.  Purely on the opinions of these “experts”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reducing future impacts of climate change will require substantial reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, mere opinion, without any evidence that this “requirement” will work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;fostering evidence-based scientific debate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no “debate”. This is a one-sided statement which does not permit discussion or disagreement in public. At least I can debate it on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We hope this statement makes a useful contribution to public understanding of climate change.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that my comments will make a similar useful contribution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T&lt;strong&gt;HE STATEMENT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There has been an overall upward trend in global surface temperature since the beginning of the 20th Century. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Typically, from the nine global temperature records, you choose the least reliable, the surface temperature record, which suffers from numerous problems and biases, such as poor and unrepresentative sampling, poor quality control, and urban and land-change influences. The least reliable section was at the beginning of the 20th century, when presumed influences of greenhouse gases were negligible..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The surface record has been highly irregular and it has included several upwards and downward “trends”, none of which could be called “overall”. A downward “trend” was shown from 1940 to 1976, apparently uninfluenced  by increased greenhouse gas emissions, It is difficult to explain why the greenhouse gases had a sudden  reversal of influence for the upwards “trend” from 1976 to 1998.  After 1998 the temperature has fallen, and there was a “trend” downwards from 2002 to the present day, unnoticed by this statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Most of the observed global warming over the past 50 years is very likely to be due to increases in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“the past 50 years” has been dishonestly chosen  to eliminate the most reliable observed global&lt;br /&gt;temperature records, the radiosondes, (from 1958) and the MSU satellites (from 1978) for exclusive consideration. This record actually shows “global cooling” from 1958 to 1976, so it is only the bit in the middle of the record, 1976 to 1998, which showed “global warming”; considered “very likely” to have been “due to increases of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere”. It is strange, that the greenhouse gases suddenly stopped operating from 1958 to 1976 and from 1998 to 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As before, the opinion that this strange behaviour was “very likely” comes entirely from “experts” with a conflict of interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Greenhouse gases warm the lower atmosphere by allowing sunlight to reach the Earth?s surface but trapping some of the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth. Human activities have increased the concentrations of carbon dioxide, methaneand nitrous oxide since the mid-1700s. More than half of the carbon dioxide concentration increase has occurred since 1970.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This may be true, but there is no evidence that there have been any harmful effects as a result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Human activities have also increased concentrations of aerosols (small ?air pollution? particles) in the atmosphere. These may have partially offset the heating effect of the greenhouse gases by scattering some sunlight back to space.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This may also be true, but it merely shows that net effects can be very complicated. Since more aerosols are emitted in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere, and over land rather than sea, one might expect greater cooling in the North and over the sea. In reality,  it is the South and the oceans where temperature rises have been less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Natural factors also cause climate variations. Climate has always varied, over timescales of decades, centuries and  millennia. Until recently these variations have had only natural causes&lt;br /&gt;? including changes in the tilt of the Earth?s axis, the shape of theEarth?s orbit, the energy output from the sun, dust from volcanic emissions, and heat exchanges between the atmosphere and the ocean (such as El Niño).  This natural variability still occurs in addition to the human influences. Thus while the overall decade-to-century temperature trend is upwards, individual years can still be warmer or cooler than previous years&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here you display your prejudices. When the temperature goes up it is “very likely” due to human greenhouse emissions,  It is only due to natural causes when it goes down, and great efforts must be made to eliminate these by averaging over the year, the decade, the century, in the hope that they can be covered up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Further global changes are predicted. Many impacts are expected to be more costly as time progresses. Even if the concentrations of all greenhouse gases and aerosols were held constant at year 2000 levels, a further warming trend would be expected for at least several decades, due mainly to the slow response of the oceans.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we go again. Climate models cannot make “predictions”, but the IPCC soothsayers have no limit to what can be “expected” without any evidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Additional increases in greenhouse gas concentrations, and resulting changes in climate, will occur over coming decades unless concerted international action is taken to substantially reduce emissions.  Impacts will vary regionally but, aggregated and discounted to the present, they are very likely to impose net annual economic costs which will increase over time as global temperatures increase.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end is nigh! Prepare to meet thy doom!!! Unsubstantiated nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*Measurements show that:*    * Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have increased by 35%, 150% and 18% respectively since around 1750^1 &lt;#1&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Air temperature (averaged over the globe’s surface) has risen through the past 100 years. The linear warming trend from 1906 to 20052 was 0.74°C [0.56 to 0.92°C]3. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only if you believe the unreliable record all that way back.  But why does it matter?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Globally-averaged sea level rose by 17 cm [12 to 22 cm] during the 20th century. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highly unlikely. When tide-gauges are kept level with GPS the rise disappears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Average northern hemisphere temperatures during the second half of the 20th century were very likely warmer than during any other 50-year period in the last 500 years and likely the warmest in the past 1300 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dishonest trick obtained by comparing unreliable and unrepresentative “proxy” measurements with weather station data influenced by urban heating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For the globally-averaged surface air temperature, 2005 and 1998 were the two warmest years in the instrumental temperature record (i.e. since 1850. Twelve of the thirteen years during the period 1995-2007 are the warmest since 1850). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The poor accuracy and undoubted bias from urban heating make these comparisons worthless. For information on the undoubted influence of urban heating, see Gray (200) and Gray (2008a). For a recent statistical demonstration of socio-economic bias see McKitrick and Michaels (2007)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mountain glaciers and snow cover have declined on average in both hemispheres.&lt;br /&gt;Spring peak river flows have been occurring 1 to 2 weeks earlier in basins with important seasonal snow cover in North America and northern Eurasia (based on observations over the period 1936 – 2000), due to earlier warming-driven snow melt.Arctic sea-ice summer extent has decreased at an average rate of 7.4% [5.0% to 9.8%] per decade since 1978.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been a global temperature cycle which had a peak value in around 1950, a trough around 2975 and another peak in 2000. It has been particularly prominent inn the Arctic where it is reinforced by the Atlantic Decadal oscillation. The recent fall in temperature is likely to reverse these effects. Some of these changes go back to the previous ice age and some are due to changes in local vegetation or precipitation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Observations since 1961 show the average temperature of the global ocean has increased to depths of at least 3000m, with decadal fluctuations superimposed on this long-term trend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The observations show a periodic behaviour related to the ocean oscillations. The measurements are highly inaccurate and have been revised twice already.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;he ocean has become more acidic because of uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parts of the ocean emit carbon dioxide now and are thus more acidic than others. Organisms are already adapted to both extreme changes and any increase in carbon dioxide will only change the proportions. Evolution should easily handle any changes in ratio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For New Zealand the air temperature shows substantial year to year fluctuations, but shows a clear increase over time, with a  linear trend in the country-wide average of 0.9°C between 1908 and 2006. The average sea level rise over the twentieth century was 16±2 cm. The number of frost days has decreased since the 1950s at many New Zealand sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was no overall change in temperature in New Zealand since 1950 and the previous figures are dubious. The sea level all over New Zealand has levelled out since GPS devices enabled accurate levelling. Doubtless it is possible to select those “many” sites that justify your prejudice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Present global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide far exceed pre-industrial values dating back at least 650,000 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only if you suppress the information documented by Beck (2007) and Jaworowski (2007)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The global increases in carbon dioxide concentration since pre-industrial times are due primarily to fossil fuel use and land use change.&lt;br /&gt;About 2/3rds of these anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions since 1750 are estimated to have come from fossil fuel burning and about 1/3 from land use change. About 45% of this carbon dioxide has remained in the atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it is true why should I care?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The combined influence on the energy balance of the Earth-atmosphere system of all anthropogenic emissions between 1750 and 2006 is likely to be at least 5 times larger than the influence of changes in solar output over the same period.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No part of the earth ever has an “energy balance” and there is no reason to suppose that such a balance exists.  The  Sun has much more influence than estimated  here because you ignore feedback effects such as the influence on clouds and the influence of cosmic rays. Current changes in sunspot numbers are already having more effect than you are prepares to admit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Very energetic volcanic eruptions (such as that of Mt Pinatubo in 1991) can place small particles high in the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and leading to cooling for a few years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You usually ignore these effects when you derive “trends”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&lt;strong&gt;ncreasing atmospheric temperatures lead to an overall increase of water vapour in the atmosphere. Water vapour is itself a strong greenhouse gas, so this amplifies the warming effect of the increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You usually ignore the importance of water vapour by pretending it is a “feedback” to the effects of the minor greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. You also conceal the fact that its distribution of water vapour in the atmosphere is extremely unbalanced, with most of it over the tropics and very little over the poles. Its role in the climate is almost completely unknown at present.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The frequency of heavy precipitation events has increased over most land areas, consistent with warming and observed increases of atmospheric water vapour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Typical vague statement. “Increased” since when? where?, with what variability? Measurements are highly inaccurate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Projections for the 21st Century from the IPCC’s4 2007 assessment (assuming no substantial efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions) include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that these are “projections”, NOT “predictions” They are not based on evidence, only on partisan “expert” opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An increase in globally-averaged surface temperature of 1.1 to 6.4°C by 21005.&lt;br /&gt;A globally-averaged sea level increase of 18 to 59 cm by 2100. However these projections do not include uncertainties in climate-carbon cycle feedbacks nor the full effects of dynamic changes in ice-sheet flow, so do not provide an upper bound for possible sea level rise.&lt;br /&gt;More heat waves, fewer frosts, and more heavy rain events are very likely.&lt;br /&gt;The area affected by droughts is likely to increase through the 21st Century. Increases are likely in the peak wind and rain intensity in tropical cyclones&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More irresponsible ranting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Projections for New Zealand based on these global projections suggest6:&lt;br /&gt;A New Zealand-average warming7 of 0.2 to 2.0°C by 2040 and 0.7 to 5.1°C by 2090. Fewer cold temperatures and frosts, and more high temperature episodes.&lt;br /&gt;A stronger west-east rainfall gradient (wetter in the west and drier in the east) in winter and spring, and an increasing risk of extreme rainfall as the century progresses.&lt;br /&gt;Increasing drought risk during this century in areas which are currently drought-prone.&lt;br /&gt;An increase in New Zealand-averaged sea level of the same order as the IPCC global projections.&lt;br /&gt;Natural year to year variations in New Zealand’s climate will be superimposed on top of these projected anthropogenic changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are getting 38 years of comfortable well-paid work before everybody tumbles to the scam in 2040.They have an excuse already ready for when it fails, and can be extended another 50 years. It is in the last sentence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some potential further risks are being quantified by ongoing research:&lt;br /&gt;Some studies suggest substantial parts of the Greenland ice cap, and perhaps of the West Antarctic ice sheet could melt over the coming 1000 years. Global average sea level at the height of the last interglacial about 125,000 years ago (when average polar temperatures were around 3°C to 5°C warmer than now) was likely 4-6 m higher than at present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The standby of contemporary scientific research is the could be/might be discovery, which is merely “suggested”. And “likely”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Models indicate some slowing of the oceanic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is very likely during the 21st Century. The MOC carries warm water into the North Atlantic where it cools, sinks and then spreads through the other ocean basins at depth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No limit to this stuff.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As the globe warms, the oceans and biosphere may become less efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide, leading to a larger fraction of the anthropogenic emissions remaining in the atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe, maybe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reducing the future impact of climate change will require substantial reductions of net emissions of greenhouse gases. Major international policy changes would be required to deliver these reductions but various technologies exist to provide them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here it comes. Punish the people for being too prosperous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More efficient use of energy, e.g. better designed and insulated houses, more efficient appliances and industrial processes&lt;br /&gt;Renewable energy sources, e.g. hydropower, geothermal, wind, marine, and solar&lt;br /&gt;Lower-carbon fossil fuels such as natural gas and the capture and storage of emissions from power plants&lt;br /&gt;More efficient transport and urban systems and the use of appropriate biofuels and other renewable energy sources to power transport&lt;br /&gt;Reforestation, reduced deforestation, and lower emission forms of agriculture&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Green Party propaganda. There is an election coming up.&lt;br /&gt;I have never understood why it is so necessary to punish the animals as well as the humans. Cows and sheep do not eat fossil fuels so they make no contribution to the “human” carbon dioxide emissions. They eat grass, and convert most of it into meat, milk and wool. A small residuum is emitted as methane which is converted back to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and then is converted into more grass&lt;br /&gt;I burn wood in a wood stove. It is entirely converted into carbon dioxide which helps grow more trees. I just recycle it. So do the animals. But I suppose they will be after me too soon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONCLUSION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Climate Change Statement is veritably an orchestrated litany of lies, to borrow a phrase. As a longstanding member of the Royal Society of New Zealand I am unable to tolerate such a departure as this from the supposed objectives of fair or responsible comment on scientific matters, so I have resigned in protest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFERENCES &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beck, E-G, 2007 150 Years of Atmospheric Gas Analysis by Chemical Methods, Energy and Environment 18 259-281.&lt;br /&gt;Gray, V.

We have seen our once prosperous nation reduced to a basket case by the worst Chancellor and Prime Minister ever , Brown has managed to snatch defeat from victory in the economic war .&lt;br /&gt;Our country's economy is in the severest recession / depression / satgflation in a very long while , curtsey of Prudence Brown  . This is the "man" who said " there will be no return to the Tory days of boom and bust" , yes I agree this is no boom and total disaster .&lt;br /&gt;With the Westminster pigs filling their trough , the public on fixed incomes and pensions are faced with actual inflation of 18% ,rising prices for everything and the threat of 60+% rises in fuel bills ; it is becoming a fact of life that " do we eat today ?"&lt;br /&gt;is asked often . When the poor start to die as a result of not being able to heat their homes or feed themselves , who will be held responsible .... no one of course .&lt;br /&gt;It is a sad fact that Brown is actually no better than Mugabe , the politicians live well and the poor starve ; such is Britain today .&lt;br /&gt;Will no one pay for me to leave this hell hole !!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-2101606604410768677?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/2101606604410768677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=2101606604410768677&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/2101606604410768677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/2101606604410768677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2008/07/that-sinking-feeling.html' title='That sinking feeling .'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SIIbF8AZo6I/AAAAAAAAAIc/2GpsDUfDPA0/s72-c/871949000_dac9caae83.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-1643242462367902965</id><published>2008-07-12T00:11:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-07-12T00:19:02.186+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;hr /&gt;    &lt;div id="sidebarB"&gt;    &lt;h2 id="comments"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The following post is in support of Harry's Place , a blog that is now under threat for reporting the truth .

In fact, we did no more than translate a phrase which appeared in an Al Jazeera report of Mr Sawalha’s speech. When Al Jazeera changed that phrase from “Evil Jew” to “Jewish Lobby”, we reported that fact, along with the statement that it had been a typographical error.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mr Sawalha has been the prime mover in a number of Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood associated projects.

He is also a trustee of the Finsbury Park Mosque….&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;…Mr Sawalha says that the attribution of the phrase “Evil Jew” to him implies that he is “anti-semitic and hateful”. Notably, he does not take issue with our reporting of the revelation, made in a Panorama documentary in 2006, that he is a senior activist in the clerical fascist terrorist organisation, Hamas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It looks like Harry’s Place is going up against some pretty top-notch lawyers on this one, and they’ve got guts, but as the post goes on to say:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;If Mr Sawalha persists in attempting to silence us with this desperate legal suit, we will need your help.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We won’t be able to stand up to them alone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is why we’ve started this blogburst, to get &lt;a set="yes" linkindex="103" href="http://www.neoconstant.com/312/why-harrys-place-deserves-our-support/"&gt;the word out&lt;/a&gt; that we won’t let members of Hamas or any radical terrorist group censor us or any of our fellow bloggers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you’d like to add your site to the blogroll, simply email us at &lt;a href="mailto:admin@neoconstant.com"&gt;admin@neoconstant.com&lt;/a&gt;, and include your site’s URL.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Then copy and paste this entry into one of your posts.

to think what was the most appropriate image to use to represent the injustice in Britain &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;today&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; , &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;or do I mean England today ; anyway this is what I decided on . The scales of justice are unbalanced against the people of England , the Labour government is biased towards Scots who vote on purely English matters , &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;whilst&lt;/span&gt; M.P.s cannot vote on Scottish matters ...some justice there . The Barnett formula gives Scots 21% more money than the average for England , a case of English money used to keep &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Scotty&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;McBrown&lt;/span&gt; in his position as P.M. . Labour is adept at bringing in more draconian laws to restrict our freedoms and making true born citizens second class to those who come to the U.K. to sponge off the system .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Those Gestapo want to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;be's&lt;/span&gt; , the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;PCSOs&lt;/span&gt; are the latest threat to our freedom ,  pretending to have powers that they do not posses , threatening people going about their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;lawful&lt;/span&gt; occasion . The Police are no better , arresting folk for activities which are perfectly legal , &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;whilst&lt;/span&gt; allowing those of an ethnic &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;persuasion&lt;/span&gt; to break the law with impunity .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Now to get to my main point , a government can only govern with the consent of the populace , the Police can only operate with the consent of the populace , then if we ALL withdraw our consent then the legitimacy of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;controlling&lt;/span&gt; authorities is more then a little in question . What can you do .... write to Brown and tell him that you have withdrawn yourself from his &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;authority&lt;/span&gt; , write to your Chief Constable and tell him/her that do have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;withdrawn&lt;/span&gt; your consent to be policed by his/her Force . May God protect the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;righteous&lt;/span&gt;  .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4497645240823874480-8654375030897393086?l=thedoctor44.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/feeds/8654375030897393086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4497645240823874480&amp;postID=8654375030897393086&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/8654375030897393086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4497645240823874480/posts/default/8654375030897393086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedoctor44.blogspot.com/2008/07/now-is-time-to-act.html' title='Now is the time to act .'/><author><name>the doctor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16158338414362607008</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SHZzv2EmOSI/AAAAAAAAAIU/ZxcBqk1UqVQ/s72-c/15111_brass_scales_of_justice_off_balance_symbolizing_injustice_on_a_white_background.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497645240823874480.post-9117520309626996952</id><published>2008-07-04T19:17:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-07-04T19:21:55.045+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Wishing all in the U.S. happy birthday .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XcfQ7uXEE1E/SG5pnIFN55I/AAAAAAAAAIE/ewsmPj_V1SA/s1600-h/4th_july_graphics_08.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Professor Keith Mason , STFC chair , and the small minds who sit on the Council should all resign and make way for real scientists who recognise innovation and "blue skies" thinking , while they are at it why not put some lay representatives onto the Council to represent society's&lt;br /&gt;viewpoint .

It is true that the generation of the&lt;br /&gt;leaders who got out of the war also placed the interests of the people and peoples ahead of the partisan interests. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Euro-skepticism, targeting the minimization if not even the annihilation of EU, burst out of the fear from change of the egotists who had got lazy in the decades of peace and who want to preserve the rights won in terms of protection and assistance, subsidies, scholarships, rents and pensions. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They do not believe in leaders and do not follow them – frequently also from the latter’s fault – and even do not look for them any longer. They prefer the populist managers who flatter their ego and appease their worries giving them the illusion that their good would be durable if they withdraw into a national provincialism and defend themselves against “the others.” This is the essence of the Irish refusal of the EU Reform Treaty. This is the essence of a problem which is not exclusively Irish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Irish “No” is not the result or the expression of democracy, but of the crisis of the latter. On the one hand, we have the inability of the mass to find or understand the solutions for the settlement of the complicate problems regarding the guarantee of security and social justice in the conditions of globalization. On another hand, we have the divorce between the people and the elites. The Irish referendum is not a victory of democracy, but a last blow to the idea of democracy. (Especially the direct one). Unwillingly and without knowing, the Irish proclaimed with the candor of innocence that the “king” of democracy is naked. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Undeniably, the European process cannot continue through referendum. Such a method does not function when the electorate is unequally informed and educated about the problems in discussion. The Irish reconfirmed the fact that politics has become a profession which supposes the knowledge of the complex compromises, the contextualization and the prioritization and which cannot be appropriated at mass level or practiced by the ordinary citizen of the complex contemporary society. Therefore, the Irish message is irrational and incomprehensible. The arguments expressed by the partisans of the rejection of the Reform Treaty do not have any connection with its objectives and content. Thus, the act of refusal cannot be translated into subsequent political action at European level because it was not learnt from the Irish what a likable treaty should look like. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thus, the “No” is without consequences. The refusal of a treaty aiming to remove the EU from the blockage through the consolidation of the European institutions and the increase of their capacity to answer the European and global challenges, by the people who took a maximum advantage from the European integration can be explained only through its belief that the better would be the enemy of the good already obtained, and that this good could be preserved without reforms. Thus, it is clear that the lack of knowledge and understanding of the EU by the ordinary man does not conduct to under-appreciation alone, but also to over-appreciation. The&lt;br /&gt;combination between contempt and idealization, between fear and illusion is lethal for EU. Not from the peoples, but from the leaders the remedy can come. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On another hand, if it is true that the European process needs leaders to lead not to be led, the Irish “No” also proved that the project of the united Europe cannot advance through the care of the national leaders. The latter are the first guilty of the fracture between peoples and elites. Then, they are at the origin of the national-populist propaganda which conducted to the separation between the people’s conscience and the European idea, between the European citizens and the political Europe. The European project claims European architects. The European political class cannot be reduced any longer to the conclave of the national leaders. Even before the birth of a European demos – in whose absence a European democracy cannot exist – a European elite able to assume directly the leadership of the process should appear. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, the Irish refusal imposes the conclusion, so long avoided, that the European idea must be released from the captivity of the blockage minorities. A few tens of thousands of Irish cannot thwart the future of hundreds of millions of Europeans. The European Council will have to decide that from now on the European construction will advance without Ireland or with an Ireland which functions subject to special rules, as a lower category member. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mutual respect that the Irish and the other European citizens owe to themselves imposes this separation as an undesired but inevitable evil. Not any European minority can decide for the others, it can decide only for itself. That who refuses the majority “de facto” refuses itself. Thus, the Irish make room for a smaller but more federal Europe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Now I call for the arrest of all of the E.U. Commissioners and most of the MEPs  for crimes against the citizens of the E.U. and for treasonable activities  .  Are there any Judges in the Community who will issue arrest warrants against these people  and bring them to Justice  . The mere fact that they act against E.U.law in not obeying those laws in relation to the Lisbon Treaty clearly makes them criminals . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://bl
