			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theproverbial.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/art-of-dissent.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-521" title="art-of-dissent" src="http://theproverbial.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/art-of-dissent.jpg?w=640" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p>2011 is with us and the news is crazier and more prepostrous every day. Today we heard that BP have bought drilling rights to the Russian Arctic, and earlier this week President Obama and the Establishment cronies either aided and abetted, or simply devilishly exploited the actions of one lone lunatic in an attempt to stifle the ever-expanding power of the Liberty movement. As financial implosion on both sides edges ever nearer, revolutions break out in lesser developed countries (Tunisia today) and the excuses for eugenics and world government become more mainstream, the importance of the upsurge in global consciousness is obvious. Romans 6:23 of the Christian Bible teaches &#8216;the wages of sin is death&#8217;, and I make a parallel here with our present dilemma when I quote great libertarian and permaculturalist Jaz Coleman (famed for fronting Killing Joke) in saying &#8216;survival is my victory&#8217;. The pain of defeat in our shared battle against a tyrannical one-world government system of vertically-integrated corporate fascism is not merely spiritual, it is spiritual and very, very real.</p>
<p>Last year was a monumental year for the Liberty and Truth movements globally, with truly the advent of groups such as We Are Change and the Building What? Campaign. In order to protect our children, investments and environment we all must intensify the battles in key areas and devote the maximum of our available energies to a concentrated and sustained attack on the systems of oppression and control which are leading us into serfdom. Let us resist false austerity. Let us refuse the vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Let us search for answers into every alleged terror incident both at home and abroad.</p>
<p>I have been incredibly busy and remain so, hence why posts have been rather few and far between. The good news is that I have some new ideas for the direction of the blog and once I have the available time all will be revealed. So until then, I urge my readers to continue to recognise and oppose domination of mind, body and soul by corporate media, government or practice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Oil Spill" src="http://www.treehugger.com/burning-oil-rig-explosion-fire-photo11.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="351" /></p>
<p>The following is my analysis of the Associated Press Top 10 Stories of 2010 countdown which can be found here: <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101221/ap_on_re_us/ye_top10_stories">http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101221/ap_on_re_us/ye_top10_stories</a>. It was compiled in order by David Crary, and therefore I reiterate <strong>I did not choose the content or the order of the list and all I am doing is providing my summarizing take on the events presented.</strong></p>
<p>2010 has been a key year in many respects. We&#8217;ve had a new Government in Britain, a Coalition led by the Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron &#8211; the first Coalition since 1945 and the first Conservative leadership since 1997. My views on the Clameron Calamity Coalition are for another day but you can almost certainly deduce them from the moniker I&#8217;ve awarded them.</p>
<h1><span style="color:#ff0000;">Here begins the countdown:</span></h1>
<p><strong>10. Troop Surge/Continued War in Afghanistan</strong></p>
<p>As the most deliberate military-industrial inspired conflict rampaged into its ninth disastrous year, the true control of the US Government and NATO became horrifically clear. A liberal, socialist, pacifist President such as Mr Obama would never endorse or encourage a war of this nature; indeed, the Obama of old would have railed against it as &#8216;colonialist aggression&#8217;. Obama&#8217;s hero Mao Zedong would have told him &#8216;political power comes from the barrel of a gun&#8217; &#8211; and those with all the guns control a society by force (hence why tyrannies always make a point of confiscating them within months of taking power), and the &#8216;surge&#8217; in Afghanistan represented the staggering power of the Military-Industrial Complex in the Post-Cold War world. With reports of Blackwater running child kidnapping and prostitution rings, and US troops hacking appendages off enemy casualties to keep as gory keepsakes, the brutality of this supposedly &#8216;humanitarian war&#8217; &#8211; a contradiction if I ever heard one, is escalating. Every year more civilians are dying, more children are maimed and more sick mercenaries are drafted in. Into 2011, we&#8217;re seeing an expansion of the War on Terror apparatus of Orwell&#8217;s Perpetual War into the Tribal Areas of Pakistan, and the rebellious provinces of Yemen and Somalia.</p>
<p><strong>9. Wikileaks</strong></p>
<p>The leaking of thousands of US Diplomatic cables by the leaking website Wikileaks has dominated the last month or so of media coverage. The bigger question now amongst those with a full understanding of geopolitics is not is Assange a sexual assailant but is Assange a CIA double-agent? Indeed, the event termed &#8216;the internet 9/11&#8242; by pro-Washington sources is being used to allow the Federal Government to dominate and censor the web. An act passed before the Congress the week before Christmas invested The Gov. with dominion over American users&#8217; internet. Many respected insiders such as Bob Chapman of the International Forcaster believe that Wikileaks is indeed, as theorized in my article &#8216;Wikileaks as a CIA Psi-Op?&#8217; an elite-run programme to facilitate a reaction from the American public by means of which total control can be taken of the internet by Federal authorities. The internet has been the greattest assistance to both the Liberty Movement and all forms of alternative, non-mainstream information such as paganism and New Age belief systems. The only thing acting as a blockade to Federal internet control has been the threat of public backlash against obvious censorship, and once again, the method used by tyranny to enact its sick desires is to justify any form of utter horror in the name of &#8216;threat to national security&#8217;. Vigilance is key here.</p>
<p><strong>8. Iraq</strong></p>
<p>U.S. Forces ended their official combat role in Iraq. Meanwhile, thousands of Americans remain in the now globalist-controlled nation in the form of &#8216;private-security&#8217; (AKA private military corporations in the form of Blackwater/Xe Services), or as &#8216;consultants&#8217; (secret overseers) of the US Puppet-Government now in office. Nothing that has occurred has led me to alter any perception that the conflict in Iraq was anything other than a managed genocide on behalf of the globalists to serve the military-industrial complex and the neo-colonial empire. The war has in no fashion improved global security, but it has performed incredibly well one function the elites designed it to &#8211; created a real hatred of the West amongst Muslims in order to justify further profits for the Military-Industrial Complex in the form of an expanded &#8216;War on Terror&#8217; in the coming years. Indeed, Iraq was the springboard for not only increased involvement in Afghanistan but the creation of an entirely new form of Cold War, a conflict against an ideology only strengethed by the atrocities committed by the criminal scum dictating events.</p>
<p><strong>7. Chilean Miner Rescue</strong></p>
<p>A good news story not concerning the growing global government, coming apocalypse or anything else of a dire nature. The rescue of the 33 miners from the bowels of the Earth was a saga Spielberg himself would be too busy donating money to Israel to bomb children (he really did) to concoct. The story highlighted the human aspect of humanity&#8217;s reckless pursuit of mineral wealth and nature&#8217;s revenge for this terrible cargo. It was a pure miracle of modern technology that the men could be saved and although media behaviour was nothing short of schizophrenic, I actually did not deduce any negative from the rescue aspect of the incident. It absolutely captivated me, although in no way on my chosen list would it be the seventh most important thing of the year.</p>
<p><strong>6. Tea Party Movement</strong></p>
<p>As a Tea Party supporter, I was horrified to see the co-opting of this wonderful movement by Establishment Republicans led by the vile &#8216;Carbon-tax loving&#8217; political Reptile Newt Gingrich, and his crony-in-abject-stupidity Sarah Palin. The positives of this year were a recognition by Americans that spending is out of control, and that America can only be saved by Libertarianism, not the over-zealous, European Globalist measures would are currently being enforced. So many new Libertarians and truthseekers have been recruited as a result of the education campaign the Tea Party has provoked across the country, and the fiery torch of democracy has once again been lit. Unfortunately, I fear it will be the Palins, and not the Ron and Rand Pauls of this world who prosper from the Tea Party election as it will be almost certainly recorded in history as. May the Gadsden Flag of &#8216;Don&#8217;t Tread on Me&#8217; not be hijacked by the same false Left-Right paradigm which created the mess Americans are suffering through today.</p>
<p><strong>5. Haiti Earthquake</strong></p>
<p>The devastating quake which left 230,000 dead was another calamity for a country on the edge of total destruction. Haiti is probably the worst place in the West to live, if not the world, and this quake made it unbearable. Plagues have since broken out, (caused by the United Nations peacekeeping force, albeit supposedly by accident) and rebuilding is impossible. Haiti is a country in desperate need of being taken control of by exterior forces and invested in. I do not propose that is at all the right thing to do but it is the only methods by means of which Haiti could ever become a civilised society again. This is a story of terrible human suffering as a result of natural evil &#8211; but we must remember the death toll is a direct consequence of the squalor of a nation so beleaguered and cursed that evacuation may be the best possible reformation. I would suggest the ongoing battle between Haitian Voudoo Santeria, and Catholic Christianity is not helping matters either.</p>
<p><strong>4. US Economy</strong></p>
<p>Unemployment nationally well over the official figure of 9pc, closer to 15pc according to reputable sources such as Gerald Celente, with figures in some states dwarfing the Depression-era 20pc mark, the risk of entering what Celente (the greatest forecaster since the Oracle of Delphi) describes as &#8216;The Greatest Depression&#8217; rises day-by-day. America has unfunded liabilities and &#8216;true debts&#8217; of over 600 trillion, not the Treasury figure of 14 trillion, when bailouts and other unfunded expenditure is factored in. Until the spending on illegal wars ends, until the Pentagon and the bankers are not given the right to steal from the mouths of starving American children, then the US will be a place of unemployment. The situation has worsened, and will continue to do so, now under the guise of a false austerity system. It will be cuts for the poor and middle-class, whilst the bankers are earning  more than ever before (reports Bloomberg) and spending on the surveillance society and regulation increases. War, the prison system and pharmaceuticals are making the obscene profits. A good, honest day&#8217;s pay in America is now harder to find than a sex-fiend in a care home. America, just as the globalists have planned for decades, is being overshadowed by China as both the world&#8217;s largest store of capital, but also the world&#8217;s manufacturing and technological centre. Watch over the next twelve months as moves are taken to &#8216;Chinafy&#8217; the US, less workers&#8217; rights, less pay, higher taxes, higher corporate profits, all integrated into a government through false-austerity and the reality of the bailout/buyout.</p>
<p><strong>3. US Mid-Term Elections</strong></p>
<p>As described above, there are few <em>real</em> positives which can be drawn from an election in which the two same controlled parties contested an election under the remit of the false Left-Right paradigm which has caused the fiscal, moral and social crisis of the present day United States. Neither addressed the real issues like the chronic lack of jobs, encroaching police state and illegal foreign wars, in addition to the 28,000 deaths on the US/Mexico border. The only good thing about the whole sorry incident was that another Mr Paul, Senator-Elect Rand Paul for Kentucky, reached office. His father Ron, Congressman for decades for Galveston County, Texas, is the only true Libertarian in the entire house, and the greatest politician America has seen since the revolution. If you&#8217;re good enough for your supporters to be a  reason to be placed on a watchlist, then you get my vote every time.</p>
<p><strong>2. Federalization of Healthcare</strong></p>
<p>The Healthcare Bill is not only illegal (it breaks the commerce clause of the bill of rights as it forces people to buy something against their will) but it also makes health insurance considerably more expensive for small-business owners, whilst the biggest, most evil corporations such as McDonalds have been granted Federal wavers making them exempt from purchasing healthcare for their minimum wage workers. The Bill, financed actually by big insurance, will just consolidate industry and make the poor even poorer, and will bump up the profits of Big Pharma and big Insurance. This is a shameful episode of a shameful Lame Duck Congress funded by special interests. Worst of all, the American people are paying for a bill now which MAY come into force in 2013. It isn&#8217;t free, it&#8217;s simply forcing the poor to pay for insurance most of them (according to polling) didn&#8217;t want. The wider motives are what must be explored to understand why this several trillion dollar monstrosity passed. And I hate to mention it but its all revolving around the wider issues of Big Pharma and the globalism. Politics just ain&#8217;t what it used to be.</p>
<p><strong>1. Gulf Oil Disaster</strong></p>
<p>Well this was a mess that I don&#8217;t believe deserves to be labelled the most important story of the year but in media terms it was <em>the biggest</em>. This is an issue that woke many of us up, me included, to environmental issues in a starker way than ever before. I have believed for some years that we have to, as a society move away from these murderous fossil fuels which are controlled by the elite and used to control us through corrupt pricing mechanism into a system using &#8216;freeform&#8217; energy. Whatever your beliefs on events of that fateful day, (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ9uFzuXh8w">the Jesse Ventura episode covered it from an interesting perspective</a>) everyone must accept this was a &#8216;worst case scenario&#8217; that not only killed a dozen family men but also spiralled out of control and destroyed in its wake an entire unique ecosystem of vibrant life. As if Katrina hadn&#8217;t devastated the Gulf enough (I find it terribly suspicious that the area is one indicated for population removal due to environmental status in UN documents, which I&#8217;m completing a separate article on at a later date) then the Spill decimated it. The coastline and the lifestyles will never recover. Neither will the literal ocean and ground from the toxic, deadly dispersant used. All trends forecasters predict a massive oil spike next year (the start of which is already beginning if one consults a graph) and I believe this shocking incident should serve as a reminder that as we approach 2012, humanity is at the end of the industrial phase. We are entering a new age of the next level of human systems and societies, one in which fossil fuels, just like the locomotive, don&#8217;t belong. If we are permitted by Fate to enter this next phase, the free, wireless, neo-agrarian age, we cannot be drawn by these remnants of the old order.</p>

<p>Peculiar as it may seem, &#8216;authorities&#8217; in Armenia, a former Soviet Orthodox-Christian state in the Caucasus, have begun to persecute members of the youth movement known as &#8216;emo&#8217;, <a href="http://www.france24.com/en/20101226-armenian-police-target-teenage-rock-cult">according to France 24/AP.</a></p>
<p>This story highlights the supreme idiocy and frivolity of authoritarian regimes and simply the lengths they will go to to extend their foul reach into the lives of each and every one of their citizens, often under the false guise of &#8216;protecting public safety&#8217;. In the French Reign of Terror, Robespierre chaired the &#8216;Committee of Public Safety&#8217; before condemning thousands to death; Ceasar said he had to destroy the Republic to save it and the Bush/Cheney Administration revoked two centuries of American Freedoms with the Patriot Act and the illegal torture and detention of individuals at Guantanémo Bay. Hitler too vowed to protect Germany from the Jews and immorality, and the Communists in China vowed to protect the Proletariat before Mao condemned 45 million peasants to death by starvation in what is known as the Great Leap Famine. All in the name of &#8216;public safety&#8217;. The lesson of freedom we never truly understand as a pathetic, cowardly retarded species is that we should stand firm in the face of fear, and take responsibility for our own safety rather than place that authority in government &#8211; an institution ultimately controlled by the same groups of individuals who have ruled over the masses for centuries, and see us merely as a resource to be expanded and exploited at will. Guns give us the power to overthrow the elite, and in the United Kingdom, the boot-licking, automatron drones were fooled into relinquishing their weapons by government manipulation and propagandistic lies. A culture removed from self-defence is a culture which has ceased to be human. If you have no desire to defend yourself and your family from threats by all means necessary then you are not a human male. You are literally a snivelling slave to an ideology which allows a controlled food-supply, an indoctrination system and a capitalist-neo-colonial empire of hell. Fear is a powerful emotion. Especially in weak, impotent, pathetic men who lack either the inclination or the means to resist.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class=" " title="Location of Armenia" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Armenia_%28orthographic_projection%29.svg/500px-Armenia_%28orthographic_projection%29.svg.png" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Location of Armenia Globally and on Local Scale (from wikipedia)</p></div>
<p>Authoritarianism knows this and acts upon it wherever its terrible spectre manifests itself. Enter the case of the Armenian emo.</p>
<p>Now, before I present the course of events that have occurred in Armenia, let me make one thing clear &#8211; I find the entire &#8216;emo&#8217; thing a completely pathetic form of cynical corporate marketing aimed at moody, self-absorbed Western teenagers with more money than sense and a need to feel &#8216;subcultural&#8217; in some way. Real subculture is not getting one&#8217;s eyebrow pierced (cool as it may look), dying one&#8217;s fringe pink or listening to stupid music. All these things fuel corporations and are merely branding exercises. Real subculture is removing oneself from the prevailing culture entirely and being self-sufficient, making one&#8217;s own clothes, and doing things out of inclination not cultural aspect or pattern. That is the real side of &#8216;sub&#8217; cultural because it is outside or beneath the consumer culture. &#8216;Emo&#8217; was a completely dumb craze, in my humble opinion. More men acting like feminized, trembling imitations of natural male behaviour in what is doubtless a ploy to attract sexual attention (it&#8217;s men for fuck&#8217;s sake).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&nbsp;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 354px"><img class=" " title="Emo twat" src="http://googleemo.com/images/emoboy6.jpg" alt="" width="344" height="485" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Much as one thinks his Dad can&#039;t be proud of him, one cannot deny the rights of people to behave however weird they please without being a tyranny.</p></div>
<p>But. This is all opinion. And opinion should not attract legislation in a free society. I think Fundamentalist Christians and Orthodox Jews are total weirdo crackpots who perhaps could do with a sharp blow to the head from Falling Reality &#8211; but I wouldn&#8217;t have police officers storm their houses like some sick form of cultural Stazi, which is exactly what&#8217;s been going on in Armenia.</p>
<blockquote><p>When police officers arrived at 13-year-old Masha&#8217;s home, searched her room and inspected her computer, it was not because they suspected her of any crime.</p>
<p>Her offence was simply to be a devoted follower of the angst-ridden punk-rock subculture known as &#8216;emo&#8217;, in an ex-Soviet state where pressures to conform remain strong.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was offensive and frightening at the same time,&#8221; said Masha, a schoolgirl in the Armenian capital, clearly upset by the experience.</p>
<p>Police in Yerevan have been conducting a campaign against the capital&#8217;s small but controversial emo community since the recent suicides of two teenagers who were rumoured to have been emo fans.</p>
<p>They claim that the subculture represents a threat to young people&#8217;s welfare.</p>
<p>Officers have visited schools, searched pupils whose distinctive clothing marks them out as possible &#8216;emos&#8217;, and mounted surveillance on public places where young people gather.</p>
<p>Several fans have been detained for questioning, despite the lack of any specific legislation against the musical genre or its followers.</p></blockquote>
<p>So even <em>in the absence of actual legislation</em>, police have performed these bizarre and ridiculous rights violations against mere children. I assume the police concerned, like many public institutions in Armenia, a country now infamous for the prevalence of organized crime amongst its exiles &#8211; particularly in Los Angeles, are corrupt as hell, mostly alcoholics, and are busying themselves beating up fourteen year olds rather than investigating the counterfeiting, sex trafficking, and violent mafia groups Armenia is now internationally renowned for.</p>
<blockquote><p>In a recent newspaper interview, Armenia&#8217;s Chief of Police, Alik Sarkisian, claimed that emo could &#8220;damage our gene pool&#8221;. &#8220;We should fight against such phenomena because they are morally harmful to our people,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Masha and her friend Ani, also 13, say they started dressing in the unconventional emo style in an attempt to stand out from what they call &#8220;the grey masses&#8221;.</p>
<p>But they now feel that they have to disguise themselves in ordinary clothes for fear of detention or harassment by other youths. &#8220;They point and laugh at us. Or even worse, they sometimes beat up our boys,&#8221; Ani said.</p>
<p>Some people in Yerevan not only believe that emo can cause suicidal depression, but also see it as a degenerate Western influence on traditional Armenian values.</p>
<p>Members of the youth wing of a local police association held a march against the subculture in the capital this month, carrying banners that read &#8220;No to foreign perversions!&#8221;</p>
<p>One teacher in a Yerevan suburb, who asked not to be named, said the directors of some schools supported the police action, and had even been actively encouraging officers to search pupils who dressed unusually and check them for signs of self-harm.</p>
<p>&#8220;We suspected one female pupil of being an emo. We invited our district policeman and the pupil&#8217;s parents to come in, and explained how dangerous the consequences of this could be,&#8221; the teacher said.</p>
<p>A local human rights activist compared the police&#8217;s behaviour to a Communist-era witch-hunt.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is like the repression in Soviet times, when law enforcement agencies were chasing hippies, punks and rockers &#8212; all those who refused to live within society&#8217;s limits and be like everyone else,&#8221; said Mikael Danielian, chairman of the Helsinki Committee of Armenia.</p>
<p>But the police say they are only intervening to protect vulnerable youngsters. &#8220;We are simply doing our job,&#8221; said the police colonel responsible for youth affairs, Nelli Durian.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are conducting explanatory, preventative work among teenagers and their parents to prevent children from becoming hooligans and from thoughts of suicide.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, she said that she could not blame emo music for the reported rise in teenage suicide attempts in Armenia this year.</p>
<p>Young fans like Masha and Ani have been worried by the anti-emo campaign, but they insist that they will not be pressured into abandoning the subculture that they love.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is impossible to ban youth movements using repressive methods,&#8221; Ani said defiantly. &#8220;We will not stop listening to our music and dressing how we like. This is my choice.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I would love to know how emo constitutes &#8216;a threat to the gene pool&#8217;. The fact that according to the (imperfect) Darwinian theory of evolution lifestyle characteristics are not transferred to offspring has obviously escaped the police imbecile concerned. The notion of faculty support for the police violence is possibly the most disgustingly worrying. What type of teaching staff support literal oppression of their pupils? I suppose in a Soviet education system, where teachers were instructed to punish children who did not offer and support the vision of egalitarian Communist social harmony, the teachers are more vile indoctrinators than educators anyway.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&nbsp;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class=" " title="Armenian Genocide" src="http://www.nashvillescene.com/imager/looks-pretty-indiscriminate-to-me/b/original/1477738/e024/armenian_genocide_2.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="308" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dead Armenians following the Genocide.</p></div>
<p>My theory as to why &#8216;emo&#8217; has been singled-out for persecution is simple. Conscription in Armenia is a compulsory 24 months after the age of 18. The subculture of &#8216;emo&#8217;, with its emphasis on hugging people, does not fit with the masculine siege-mentality of the national consciousness of a country always on guard due to a long, torturous history of conquest and <a href="http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide">a criminally under-acknowledged genocide</a> in which the Ottoman Empire murdered 1.5 million Armenian citizens in events eerily similar to the German Holocaust thirty years later. Armenia in this sense falls into the block of countries with a permanent chip-on-their-shoulder; a kind of habitual nagging within the national soul to be strong and militaristic in order to never allow themselves to be fucking destroyed ever again. The problem with these nations, such as Israel, is that they become literal hell-on-Earths of conformity, and often end up behaving worse than their original assailants. So Armenian authorities, in a wacky attempt to curtail resistance to one of the worst forms of government terror and illegal behaviour (a military draft) are persecuting a rather inconsequential and transparent cultural trend which is really a combination of miserable teenagers and some American businesses trying to sell hairdye and undersized jeans.</p>
<p>This sorry incident just demonstrates the perils of totalitarianism. Instead of concentrating their efforts on doing their constitutionally appropriated job, Armenian police act as agents for tyranny. The role of the police is to protect the public, <em>all</em> the public, and to investigate crime. It is certainly not to &#8216;clamp down&#8217; on some sobbing goons with a penchant for sentimentality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Christmas Day 2010" src="http://www.moylans.com/images/christmas-scene.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="366" /></p>
<p>Christmas Day 2010 is here. Many people find some comfort in Christmas as a family day, or as some kind of relaxation day, reconnecting with family and the vein of constant memory from childhood; but it’s precisely for that reason I find it maudlin and macabre. As we go through this life there are little seeming boons. Every year that comes brings the passing of more of those who’ve loved us and who we’ve loved: this is not to say life is a continually tragic carousel of woe we can’t get off but to say that the same annual display can be a destructive force. I think community is behind society’s connection to Christmas. In a recent survey 4% of British people said the thing they enjoy most about Christmas is the novelty of going to church, something only 10pc of British people do on a regular basis. I will predict that most of the 4pc are not gaining fruits from that experience for religious reasons either. They will be in a setting that connects them to their lives, to happier times as children, and will meet with people they have not seen for some time as modern life commands that we survive separately, and depend little on one another for our survival.</p>
<p>Christmas is part of our wider conditioning as well. Recently it’s just been a total consumer exercise, a massive advertising cycle, a binge of spending and waste. We are conditioned by the society to enjoy something we have an absolutely remote connection to. The people who are just arriving home after cramming churches to celebrate the birth (on the wrong day) of a man whose name they mispronounce, and whose biography is now so stuffed with conjecture he could either have been a proto-Marxist or a Messiah, are doing that because they are just going through the motions, getting their reward system filled. I’ve spoken before about our in-built human reward systems; hunting, fishing, gathering, fucking, stroking kittens – and community is almost certainly one of those. As is putting our faith and belief into things together, originally the leader of our tribal band of primitives, who showed us where the deadly snakes were living and demonstrated how to crush them to death. We then deified these people, made them into Gods after they had died because we believed the knowledge they possessed could not have come from the brain of mortal man alone. But the emptiness of so much of what Christmas is associated with is actually traumatic to me. I just find myself thinking, ‘hold on a second’. If all these people cramming into some church to sing songs from a religion they know nothing about (I know far more about Christianity than 90pc of those people and I’m basically a Buddhist-influenced modern process theologian) just stood there and resolved their community’s problems the world would be a much better place. They shake hands and wish each other happy Christmas and New Year (without meaning it&#8230;especially to the ‘bastard neighbour’ who parks his Porsche on the kerb) but it’s all meaningless. All they are saying is ‘word word word word word, HAHA YES, word, word, SEE YOU’ It’s entirely bullshit and vacuous. It is from another time. It just represents how these systems for living we’ve created are so arbitrary, so clandestine and secretive. This is not, ‘how it is’. This is just one way of doing things, one system where people behave in this way because it rewards them mentally for doing so. We need to get past the notion of a sleeper-society, of the docile-consciousness of the present state of Western humanity and say ‘right, let’s radically re-explore all that we do’. Why do we educate our children this way? Why are these substances illegal and these legal? Why do we have one man leading the entire nation? Things are changing, people are changing. But we’re applying the same frame to the events. It’s like trying to view an HD videogame on a Windows 95 operating system. Of course things are going to seem confusing when the method of decryption is so different to the actual real coding behind what the fuck is going on within the society. Imagine if the autobiographies of sportsplayers millions will receive in wrapping paper today were Terence McKenna or Philip K Dick books&#8230;or Alex Jones documentaries or fascinating tomes on psychology and human behaviour I’m far too dumb to read and understand. Our whole lives are just prescribed for us at birth. There’s children being born today who will be raised to be a clone of their father or mother. They’ll live on the same estate their whole lives and their thought will be so narrow.</p>
<p>I do not claim to have any of the answers whatsoever but I realize the potential of a free humanity would be so much greater than how we currently behave.  We live in a society where a person who uses psychedelics is treated as a pariah whereas the alcoholic lawyer who beats his wife every night is some kind of yuppie hero. He has his four-bedroom house, his nice car and his dumb wife who stays with him even though he’s a total cunt. But the nice enough guy who works in the supermarket, goes to another world on his days off, that guy is considered a waste to society regardless of the fact he’s harmless. It’s just pathetic. I hate seeing behaviour so influenced by this society. People are like robots. Here’s an experiment, say something that goes against the grain and monitor how much the reactions of your peers do not represent their character, but the society. It’s one of the scariest exercises a person can complete.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Every family has different traditions and every country does things slightly differently. But I wonder how many people will discuss over Christmas dinner today the rich variety and peculiarity of life in this century? How many will discuss the fact that we’re all hurtling through space at 1000 miles per hour on an organic geosphere spaceship of impossibly complex and intimate design? That we’re incredibly intelligent sentient beings who could be so much more? Very few. Instead it’l be conversations about football, Isaac’s new job in Russia, or Jeff from Aldershot’s new BMW. Some people might discuss politics, but it’ll be drunken slurs about hating the Tories or Republicans and nothing fruitful will come from it. And it’s disappointing that with the one opportunity we have in for a vacuum and gathering in modern society it so often falls into the realms of tradition and vanity. Arguments over who gets which part of the hormonally-filled birds most people will gobble down, consternation over dresses too small, gifts badly wrapped, pictures which shouldn’t have been taken. We have the capacity, as human beings to literally send men to the stars and instead we quibble and deride over such trivial bullshit.</p>
<p>Christmas is often a strange time in my house because it isn’t that big of a deal. My family just eat a normal enough meal then do our normal things. No big reunion of the lost tribe of Prodigal Sons and Daughters, just small cells of the same flower that long ago shot its petal and pollen into the wider world to do other things, away from the petty squabbles and disputes and ill remembrances that plague the past. Hopefully the young will learn from the old at Christmas, the one opportunity they may get all year – or sadly ever again, to pick up one last piece of advice from the older generation of their precedents. But most younger people today are so delinquent, so self-obsessed and narcissistic that they’ll be too busy rushing off to hammer the new Call of Duty, breathing in the invisible waves of propaganda as they blow the heads of Arabic avatars representing the ‘dangerous turbaned men coming to get them’.</p>
<p>Families are a good thing, they’re the base unit of human civilisation. Every evil tyrannical despotic regime in history has tried to destroy the family because it is the first semblance of a structure of organization. A tribe is a group of related families, and tyranny wants to crush it. I hope this year people begin to appreciate more the value of family, but I am resigned to the fact that they almost certainly will not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>&#8212;Here&#8217;s a piece I recently wrote for a local magazine on the issue of tuition fees.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><img class="aligncenter" title="Tuition Fees" src="http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/nov2010/8/4/tuition-fees-protest-pic-pa-794732959.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="360" /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>The recent commotion in the United Kingdom regarding the attempt by the Clameron Coalition to raise tuition fees for British students up to the £9,000 mark is a prime example of the grand hypocrisy that is modern Britain. A public which according to major newspaper surveys completed after the announcement of the Coalition Budget supported by a small majority large scale cuts in public spending to cut the appalling fiscal deficit both parties have allowed to accumulate in politically motivated seizures of spending over the past three decades has largely opposed cuts in perhaps the third most wasteful (behind the health and military) public service, higher education.</p>
<p>The hypocrisy comes from three fronts. The lamestream controlled media, the students themselves, and the disgraced political system. Firstly, as a Libertarian, the idea of reducing state spending <em>per sé</em> on anything appeals to me – I believe wholeheartedly that the free market is the solution to nearly every economic question and situation; but, in this instance, I disagree with the policies that have been put forward. It is not ‘cutting’ that is needed, indeed, that is (whatever they’d have you believe) the easy option. What is required in higher education is reform of a system that publically funds pointless and utterly nonsensical courses such as surf and golf studies at universities so poorly staffed and organized they make the North Korean education system look bountiful. The ‘everyone’s included’ education model established by the Marxist Teachers Unions, beginning in the Seventies with comprehensive education and progressing to the ill-fated Higher Education Act under Major has indisputably failed this nation, leaving armies of truthfully unskilled office drones, and such a shortage of plumbers, roofers and engineers that the last government felt the need to open the gates at Calais to the great Eurasian hordes and ‘accidentally’ allow new migrants to take at least 1 million jobs that would have been filled by hard-pressed Britons during the recession.</p>
<p>Too many people who are not intelligent and gifted enough are going to universities, and too many institutions of lower learning are now permitted to print the U word on their documentation. But cutting money indiscriminately from this system is unsuitable and unjust. All that will occur will be a diminished quality of service in return for a threefold bill for the average student not based on intelligence but based on wealth – a great abhorrence for a libertarian like me.</p>
<p>Yes, I believe university fees should be higher than they are now, as the rationing function of price should provide enough for universities to pay for themselves without the control over learning created by state funding, with the increased price, as in the American system, allowing poorer students to benefit from a wide-range of ability based scholarships.</p>
<p>But a threefold rise at once? It’s sickening, and part of the plan of false austerity imposed by a government that is quite frankly a joke. The ‘operations’ in Afghanistan, which include bombing civilian centres in what essentially amount to targeted assassination missions, and the maintenance of British military bases in other countries run this country for billions annually. The cost of ending all foreign operations would provide undoubtedly the required funding to gradually phase in a higher tuition fees system. University education benefits the nation. But expecting the fifty-five year old hard-working building contractor to pay for it is tantamount to a selfish, abusive attitude. Students currently have it too easy from an economic perspective, but such a large increase is unfair, especially from a government that does not hesitate to order new aircraft carriers, participate in murderous neo-colonial military strikes against sovereign nations to support the military-industrial complex which provides it with tax revenue.</p>
<p>What is a better goal for a nation, to educate its young people or send them abroad to die in wars for profit?</p>
<p>Secondly I’d like to address the issue of the media. The coverage of this issue has been simply awful. The young man who threw the fire extinguisher from the roof of Tory HQ at Millbank during the raid by Socialist Worker activists (the best bit of TV in ages!!) was treated as a murderous criminal. Although the incident was potentially dangerous, no-one was injured, and the right to protest is existent in this country. We live in a society that prides itself on its democracy, and although our rights are abused in the airports, prisons and with the raft of police state ‘terror’ legislation, we still live in a fairly free society in comparison to real modern tyrannies such as Venezuela and China.</p>
<p>But the way the press covered the demonstrations you would believe it was Pravda, not <em>The Times</em>, reporting from the scene. Protest is the most patriotic of acts, it shows one cares about the affairs of the nation. The BBC, a government-controlled propaganda wing, repeatedly tried to shame the students, making them out to be foul selfish savages without the right to yell, scream and yes, perhaps even smash some political party offices. Demonstration is democracy in action. Its demonization, not its implementation, is the act of treason and desecration to everything this country should stand for as a bastion of liberty.</p>
<p>The students’ right to anger comes from a legitimate sense of betrayal and deceit. Nick Clegg, Cameron’s whipping-boy and coalition ‘partner’ promised before the election (in which, as is traditional, many students voted for his party) that he would not support a rise in tuition fees. To commit a U-Turn of this magnitude is hypocrisy in the extreme. The three major parties, repeatedly, demonstrate themselves to have the same agenda – higher and higher taxes with less and less service. I refer to this phenomenon as the doctrine of <em>faux austerity</em>. Clegg clearly performed a disgusting reversal of agenda, and his largely student vote have a right to be incredibly angry.</p>
<p>The demonstrations, which still continue, have been a healthy indicator that British democracy in its most militant of forms (just like the rising against the poll tax which precipitated the downfall of what by then was a tired Thatcher Government) is still alive in living somewhere repressed in the British psyche. Let us hope that as the Eurozone collapses around us, and Europe cries to steal more of our money through the central banks and European Union of Socialist Thieves, just like the £7 billion pounds recently doled out to Ireland, the public feel the same rage. Billions of taxpayer pounds have been spent engaging in the anti-democratic exercise of coupling the banking cartels and the government, and let us hope as a nation, that the public cut through the matrix of deceit forcing us to stomach <em>faux austerity</em>, and refuse to allow any rises in tax and decreases in services, or further ‘charitable donations’ to the clowns in Brussels.</p>
<p>With the vote probably already in the books before this article reaches print, one cannot help but believe that the uprising was too mild, too isolated. Perhaps it would take barricades and walk-outs of the scale seen in Japan in 1968 (the setting for Haruki Murakami’s beautiful novel <em>Norweigan Wood)</em>to truly bring down the proposition in its entirety. The only hope for keeping this democracy alive lies with the young, and this is an encouraging sign.</p>

<p>The Wikileaks story has started my brain rolling once again. Now, you&#8217;d expect a libertarian anti-NWO activist like me to be thrilled at the &#8216;disclosures&#8217; &#8211; but I feel quite the opposite. Now, this is just  opinion that I will now briefly give, but I ask you to at least consider it a possibility on purely logical grounds.</p>
<p>Wikileaks I believe is a genuine operation. Julian Assange is a genuine figure of truth and liberty. The leaks, however, that he receives, in my opinion are controlled disclosures by members of the US upper-circle of power to induce <em>doublethink</em> in the hearts and minds of Western people. The mild nature of today&#8217;s disclosures, merely a series of embarressing remarks made by officials and public figures will cause little real damage to the United States. Berlusconi is vain? Kim Jong-Il is overweight? What shocks! This is a completely manufactured non-story. I watched mainstream 24 hour news for a couple of hours in the background today and Wikileaks took up approximately 60pc of air time. This to me appears to be a typical example of CIA distraction theory. My bet would be the Bilderberg Level operatives, or CIA insiders, are releasing the information whenever a media story they wish to supress is dominating coverage.</p>
<p>Presently, it&#8217;s the fight Americans are joyously embarking on against the disgusting and demeaning pat-down procedures at airports when passengers refuse to be radiated by the deadly naked body scanners which are drawn straight from the pages of a Philip K Dick dystopia. These leaks are worthless drivel which gives the press something to print &#8211; they are not admissions of the New World Order&#8217;s widespread list of crimes such as false-flag terrorism and deadly vaccination in the name of global population reduction.</p>
<p>The words of the Pakistani General Aslam Beg <a href="http://http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8909091183">quoted in this Fars News Agency piece</a> summarize my theories pretty well:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The US has a hand in this plot, and these reports (posted by the WikiLeaks website) are part of the US psychological warfare,&#8221; former Chief of the Staff of the Pakistani Army General Mirza Aslam Beg told FNA in Islamabad on Tuesday.</p>
<p>He stated that the US could prevent the leak of information if it wanted to do so, and warned that the real plot and conspiracy pursued by these reports will be unraveled in future.</p>
<p>Aslam Beg further reiterated that the CIA and Israel&#8217;s spy agency Mossad have launched efforts to weaken and destabilize Pakistan, and WikiLeaks reports are part of these efforts.</p></blockquote>
<p>Even the President of Pakistan issued this statement:</p>
<blockquote><p>Pakistani President&#8217;s office responded on Monday that the leaks were &#8220;no more than an attempt to create misperceptions between two important and brotherly Muslim countries&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p>The issue of whether the Leaks were part of a wider CIA or US Government Psi-Op was discussed on an episode of the commendable Rule of Law Radio, a show made by people affiliated to the We Are Change movement. The episode can be downloaded by clicking <a href="http://http://mp3.ruleoflawradio.com/A21/128k/A21_2010-11-30_128k.mp3">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Art is something people do not readily associate with me. I think maybe what people perceive to be my anti-modernist views on just about everything (the deliberate domestication of men by the élite and the complete self-absorption of our disgusting society) and my skepticism of anything remotely Leftist makes people think I have no interest in anything creative. But I love creativity. Creativity is what makes the whole world turn. Famous libertarian Ayn Rand wrote <em>Atlas Shrugged</em> partially to illustrate to her readers and the society of the time that the Communists and Leftists actually stood opposed to the notion of the independent and creative mind. In buying into the collective, one loses the very individuality which defines what is new and creative. Equally, &#8216;conservatives&#8217; who love bashing their Bibles are equally guilty of stifling what is new and creative.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&nbsp;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 643px"><img class="   " title="Copley Painting" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/JohnMontresorByCopley.jpg" alt="" width="633" height="781" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A stunningly lifelike image of John Montresor by John Singleton Copley. Copley was the master of the 18th century portrait.</p></div>
<p>Art is a powerful tool. Throughout history, often in times of great illiteracy, art has been utilised to depict by the educated events and narratives to those unable to read. Medieval churches in England prior to the Reformation were covered in beautiful frescos depicting religious stories and themes; as the majority of the services were conducted in Latin, a language many people were not remotely cognoscente in. The whitewashing of Britain&#8217;s churches long since destroyed that tradition, as Puritanical fervour (rightly) promoted iconoclasm, handily pointing out that images of God are prohibited in literal Christainity &#8211; a fact the Catholic Church had chosen to ignore, but had now been realized as translations of the Bible into English had permitted people to interpret Scripture for themselves.</p>
<p>The Reformation destroyed 99pc of British religious art made prior to this period. Expert archaeologists now spend many hours attempting to access these delicate frescoes behind centuries of subsequent whitewashed wall-plaster. A site on my island of Jersey known as the Fisherman&#8217;s Chapel contains some of the most fascinating frescoes I have ever seen in the British Isles..but I digress.</p>
<p>Melissa Forman is an American artist. By day, she&#8217;s a commerical artist. In her own time, she creates possibly the most astonishing artwork I&#8217;ve seen from a modern painter. As avid readers of this blog will be aware, I am a huge fan of portraiture, and when asked always list my favourite painter as American Revolution era portrait-master John Singleton Copley. Portraiture I find is a completely underrated facet of artistsic work. Some see it as mechanistic, as servile, as the inferior precursor to the photograph. I see it as a ancient superior. The portrait is not what there is, it is what one wishes to convey. Aside from the often more-than-lifelike quality of 18th century portraiture, the presented image displays so much more than just a simple likeness.</p>
<p>And this is where Melissa Forman comes into it. I&#8217;m skeptical of the direction &#8216;modern art&#8217; (I hate even the term) seems to have taken. Distancing oneself from the tabloid complaints of the prices paid for works by Damien Hirst <em>et al, </em>one has to recognize that painting is experiencing a decline in quality. Which I why I was so suprised to discover the wonderful works of Ms Forman.</p>
<p>Exhibiting currently at LA&#8217;s <em>Corey Helford Gallery</em>, her new installation &#8216;Keepers of Creation&#8217; is a wondrously brilliant demonstration of skill and imagination. I&#8217;ll shut up now and post some images.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">I hope this image gives some idea of why I love everything about Forman&#8217;s art. The beautiful textures of skin, her luscous depictions of women, and the timeless, serene imagery embedded within her images. Forman&#8217;s work is deeply emotive. It speaks of better, less bland times yet is equally contemporary in its approach. It associates women with essences, primal notions of self and being, not the mundane, atheistic idiocy that plagues today&#8217;s selfish society.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">My personal favourite from the latest installation is &#8216;She Who Heals the Fallen&#8217;, a beautiful image shown below:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_481" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 910px"><a href="http://theproverbial.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/melissa-forman-healer.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-481" title="melissa forman Healer" src="http://theproverbial.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/melissa-forman-healer.jpg?w=640" alt=""   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">She Who Heals the Fallen</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">This glorious painting is the greatest piece of artwork by a contemporary painter I can remember. The first time I saw this my jaw literally dropped. So many things to talk about in relation to it; which my limited knowledge of correct artistic jargon restricts me from doing. Obviously this is a form of Madonna. Created in the style of an Orthodox Icon, (Iconic art is a personal love of mine) this image which is so redolent of the images of Jesus and Mary shines forth like a pagan religious miracle. The self-evident Orthodox influence is made even bolder by the Orthodox Cross depicted on the figure&#8217;s right hand. The same cross can be seen on the flag of the Byzantine Empire, and in Orthodox Churches across the world to this day. I urge you to study this resplendent image for a few moments. It will bring light to your day, especially now in my area we&#8217;re entering into an unusually snowy winter.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Finally for my short article I want to draw your attention to this painting.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_482" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://theproverbial.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/melissa-forman-snake.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-482" title="melissa-forman-Snake" src="http://theproverbial.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/melissa-forman-snake.jpg?w=640" alt=""   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">She Who Lies with Serpents</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">In an interesting contrast with the much-recently-discussed extra-Biblical figure of Lilith, this image casts into a <em>de rigeur</em> setting (with the fishnets) the stark imagery of the Old Testament.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Korean Incident" src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01768/graphic-korea_1768699b.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="388" />I swear every day when I turn on my television the news gets crazier. I was expecting today to switch on to hear more horrors regarding the banker-buyout of the Irish nation. But instead, I saw alarming images of a flaming South Korean island with the ominous headline &#8216;North attacks South Korea&#8217; and instantly thought &#8216;fuck, here we go with the next Gulf of Tonkin&#8217; The Gulf of Tonkin incident was a now declassified staged incident which began official US involvement in the Vietnam War. The military-industrial complex, hungry for blood, staged an attack on an American naval vessel off the coast of Vietnam, as an excuse to deploy troops to South Vietnam and begin a war which would see 58,000 Americas needlessly die attempting to save a terror state.</p>
<p>Turns out later in the day that things have calmed down temporarily, but this situation is worrying not because of N Korea&#8217;s nuclear weapons or its tacit Chinese alliance &#8211; but because it&#8217;s a conflict the globalists actually set into motion, and have been urging into existence for some time. For starters, this morning&#8217;s story is not what it seems at all.</p>
<p>What <em>actually</em> happened is that North Korea (possibly the most vile and Orwellian state on planet Earth) responded to a &#8216;drill&#8217; from the South, with an attack which killed civilians and drew news headlines globally. The admission that the South, and not the Authoritarian Dictatorship North, fired first slipped out today on <em>RT News:</em></p>
<p><em><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://theproverbial.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/military-industrial-korea-crisis/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/O33sfN00oDk/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></em></p>
<p>So the South provoked the North who admittedly over-reacted, but still <em>responded</em>. That is a massive difference from the NWO-controlled Western mainstream media account which has the Communist State randomly fire on its neighbour.</p>
<p>The Korea story is a long and distorted tale of corruption, lies and ultimately dreadful human rights abuses. North Korea is undoubtedly the most reclusive, awful state in the world. But the military-industrial complex, literally drooling at the prospects of further conflict, have been eagerly provocateuring the Korean situation for years in the hope of lighting a spark. <a href="http://http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/Home/Archive/Rumsfeld_was_on_ABB_board_during_deal_with_North_Korea.html?cid=3176922">MIC-in-Chief, Iraq War-era Sec of Defence Donald Rumsfeld actually sat on the board of the firm which &#8216;mistakenly&#8217; (yeah right!) supplied N Korea with two nuclear power reactors in 2000.</a> One year later this man was in charge of the military of the United States after the inside-job that was the 9/11 attacks. Are we to suppose the US hadn&#8217;t doen their homework and that his connection with Korea and appointment as Defence Sec were coincidental? Apparently so. But the truth is far more sinister, the Clinton Administration deliberately passed on the secrets to the North in the first place through conduits in Pakistan, <a href="http://http://www.infowars.com/korean-war-crisis-brought-to-you-by-uncle-sam/">as detailed in Paul Joseph Watson&#8217;s latest article at Infowars:</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2004, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan’s atom bomb program, admitted sharing nuclear technology via a worldwide smuggling network that included facilities in Malaysia that manufactured key parts for centrifuges.</p>
<p>Khan’s collaborator B.S.A. Tahir ran a front company out of Dubai that shipped centrifuge components to North Korea.</p>
<p>Despite Dutch authorities being deeply suspicious of Khan’s activities as far back as 1975, the CIA prevented them from arresting him on two occasions.</p>
<p>“The man was followed for almost ten years and obviously he was a serious problem. But again I was told that the secret services could handle it more effectively,” former Dutch Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers said. “The Hague did not have the final say in the matter. Washington did.”</p>
<p>Lubbers stated that Khan was allowed to slip in and out of the Netherlands with the blessing of the CIA, eventually allowing him to become the “primary salesman of an extensive international network for the proliferation of nuclear technology and know-how,” according to George W. Bush himself, and sell nuclear secrets that allowed North Korea to build nuclear bombs.</p>
<p>“Lubbers suspects that Washington allowed Khan’s activities because Pakistan was a key ally in the fight against the Soviets,”<a href="http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/ludwig032306.htm"> reports CFP</a>. “At the time, the US government funded and armed mujahideen such as Osama bin Laden. They were trained by Pakistani intelligence to fight Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Anwar Iqbal, Washington correspondent for the Pakistani newspaper Dawn, told ISN Security Watch that Lubbers’ assertions may be correct. “This was part of a long-term foolish strategy. The US knew Pakistan was developing nuclear weapons but couldn’t care less because it was not going to be used against them. It was a deterrent against India and possibly the Soviets.”</p>
<p>In September 2005 it emerged that the Amsterdam court which sentenced Khan to four years imprisonment in 1983 had lost the legal files pertaining to the case. The court’s vice-president, Judge Anita Leeser, accused the CIA of stealing the files. “Something is not right, we just don’t lose things like that,” she told Dutch news show NOVA. “I find it bewildering that people lose files with a political goal, especially if it is on request of the CIA. It is unheard of.”</p>
<p>In 2005, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4180286.stm">Pakistani President Pervez Musharaf acknowledged </a>that Khan had provided centrifuges and their designs to North Korea.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote>
<p>This brilliant exposé also details how the US were perfectly aware that Rumsfeld&#8217;s reactors were capable of producing atomic bombs.</p>
<p>I hope this brief article has cast away some of the lunacy of mainstream coverage of these deeply concerning events. Immediately upon seeing this story I smelled a serious rat, a rotting stench of corruption and spin. As I&#8217;ve said before, this isn&#8217;t being psychic, this is studying the behaviour patterns of the globalists and following trends over time. Anything they&#8217;ve done before they&#8217;ll do again, except on a larger and deadlier scale. Let us not be dragged, in the same way the public were with Saddam Hussein, into urging hostile military action against North Korea simply on the grounds of the pure evil of the Communist Pyongyang regime; which will in due time collapse of its own independent accord, a situation which would present the globalists and the MIC with little room for profits. This is provocation and deliberate exacerbation. Let us not be fooled and keep vigilant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Britannia" src="http://www.orixe.org/englishcorner/images/ind/britannia-1sml.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="344" /></p>
<p>I was alarmed to see on <em>The Drudge Report</em><a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3234028/Oxford-professor-issues-shock-population-warning-for-Great-Britain-by-2066.html#ixzz15bAcxfjK"> a link to a British newspaper reporting that a new University study has indicated white British people will be a minority in their own country by 2066 if current immigration trends continue.</a> I&#8217;ll discuss the study in more detail later, but first I want to explain my views on the nature of immigration to Britain and the current climate surrounding the immigration debate.</p>
<p>Let us first establish one notion above all others. The United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of &#8216;Great Britain&#8217; &#8211; a nation state, the nation it represents being that of the British people, namely those persons affiliated to the Pre-Roman inhabitants of this island, the Roman conquerors and their Romano-British descendants, the Migration-era tribes who settled here, the raiding Vikings, the Scots, the Picts, The Normans,  the Hibernians and to an extent the Irish. Every person on this Planet according to the United Abominations&#8217; own Charter has the right to a nation, and the British people, just like the Afghans the criminals in charge so &#8216;lovingly&#8217; tell us, have a right to a country too.</p>
<p>Now let me bring something else to the fore here. I do not advocate, as I have said many times before, retroactive steps to &#8216;control&#8217; immigration, as parties such as the British National Party do, nor do I offer the BNP, EDL or any such group any support; for as  Libertarian I am not swayed by their &#8216;National Socialist&#8217; rhetoric of sharing the wealth between the &#8216;British&#8217; people who &#8216;deserve it&#8217;.</p>
<p>I do support, however, the United Kingdom Independence Party, MigrationWatch, and similar groups; as a Europskeptic and Libertarian. The policies of these groups are based on the political, financial and societal costs of unsubstantiated and non-restricted immigration, not simply the mindless &#8216;I don&#8217;t like &#8216;im, &#8216;ee&#8217;s dark&#8217; element of the BNP, which does not stand up in any kind of civilized discussion, nor do their policies address immigration, they concern the establishment of a non-libertarian authoritarian military-industrial-complex socialist state.</p>
<p>I have long considered elements of the Racist Right in Britain, such as the EDL either direct fronts for the élite, proving once again to finance extremist groups to distort real debate, or unknowing idiots being controlled by a higher power by mitosis.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 519px"><img class=" " title="EDL Israel" src="http://theproverbial.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/english2bdefence2bleague2bsupporters2bhold2baloft2bthe2bflag2bof2bisrael2band2bgesture2bto2bpolice2bas2bthey2bare2bcorralled2binto2ba2bsubway2bfollowing2bthe2bdemonstration.jpg?w=509&#038;h=420" alt="" width="509" height="420" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Members of the Racist English Defence League group demonstrating that they&#039;re puppets of the Jewish Lobby.</p></div>
<p>I also wish to establish as fact that there are many countries on this planet in which the standard of law and order, and respect for human rights is much lower than it is in Britain. That is not a racist statement, but trust me, liberal clowns sulking at this post already, if you walk out into the street in Angola, you&#8217;re at more risk than you are in rural Cheshire. That&#8217;s fact. Rates of knife, sword and gun crime are much higher in Africa and some areas of Asia than mainland Britain. It is therefore an obvious conclusion, but a taboo conclusion to draw, that as hordes of Nigerians and other sub-Saharan Africans have swarmed through our pourous borders (for which I don&#8217;t blame them, this is a better country to live in than where they come from, I blame the politicians who left us open to invasion) the culture of knife and machete violence has grown first within the immigrant communities in the urban ghettos, and subsequently into the white scum communities who surround the ghettos.</p>
<p>The immigration &#8216;strategy&#8217; has been no accident. The Socialist, Globalist, Eugenicist elite who have for decades controlled the governments of the West planned the mass immigration in order to Mongrelize the population into believing that a World Government was necessary, and that no difference exists between all the peoples of the world, so why bother resisting a global tyranny in which the most uncivlized villager commands the same resources and economic power as the educated Westerner. Karl Marx and the original Communists (most of whom were Jews) wrote that ideas of nationhood and race were &#8216;chains&#8217; emplaced upon us by the élite in order to make us hate fellow workers. Funny how so many top Communists were Jewish then? Also, isn&#8217;t it strange how this idea concentrates power in the hands of angry minorities and the military elite? So, the Communists wanted to create, on record, a global Communist Union in which all workers were &#8216;United&#8217; with no colour, race, or otherwise barriers. Obviously this turned out to be <em>total bullshit</em>, with minorities persecuted in Russia (even the Jews in the Pogroms), China (Tibetans), Eastern Europe (Gypsies) and all the African Communist Satellite States. But the aim was there, all equal, equal <em>in our slavery to the élite.</em></p>
<p>When Enoch Powell warned in the mid-60s that by the year 2000 1 in 10 babies in Britain would be born to a foreign mother, he was only wrong by a couple of years. By 05 his statistic was more than true. Today the figure is even higher. It&#8217;s a fact that the average Bangladeshi immigrant woman in Britain has on average 3 children, the average white woman less than 2. A population, according to experts, requires 2.2 children per couple to sustain itself long-term at current numbers (.2 are either gay, die of cancer before they can reproduce, are retarded, infertile <em>et cetera&#8230;due to sterilization campaigns the true figure is now much higher) </em>and the white British are not reproducing to this figure. This should be a good thing, hell, Britain is a small country and we&#8217;re getting rather tightly packed; unliked the US where they still have plenty of room to grow. But what this means is that the population of Jones&#8217;, Evans&#8217;, Smith&#8217;s, Flynn&#8217;s and Baker&#8217;s is being replaced with Singh&#8217;s, Kahn&#8217;s and Patel&#8217;s. Now you may think there&#8217;s nothing wrong with that.</p>
<p>But let me ask you this. Do these people deserve entitlements when they&#8217;ve barely paid into the system? Do they deserve housing? Is this country an open expanse of land without a people or a purpose? We are not a <em>new</em> country. And I do not oppose immigration per se. I oppose <em>excessive, socially destructive immigration.</em> The type that creates ghettos, the type which leads to schools where English-speaking, White kids are in the minority, and their learning is being held back by the fact that half their foreign classmates can&#8217;t even do their ABCs in this language or say &#8216;the cat sat on the mat&#8217; by the time they&#8217;re 7. A cap on immigration is a sensible policy. And personally, I don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re a foreign scientist or a foreign doorfitter, if x thousand Indians already came this year, get on the list for next year. This country&#8217;s welfare system, our voting rights, our education system, our legal system, is not a charity. It is established by the trial of a thousand years. And it&#8217;s not perfect. English, Welsh, Irish and Scottish people are far from perfect. But let us have our country. I understand that people want to move around, I enjoy travel, I would possibly consider emigrating to a <em>new</em> country such as Canada, but please, our way of life and our culture are not yours to change. If the way our women dress offends you, don&#8217;t move here. If you don&#8217;t like our God(s) or the order of priority for those deities, then don&#8217;t move here. We won&#8217;t supress your views when you live here, but don&#8217;t expect us to change our ways to suit you.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 522px"><img title="British Girl" src="http://www.hogwild.net/images/Misc/girl-british-flag.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="297" /><p class="wp-caption-text">There&#039;s Nothing Racist About feeling Tied to Your Fellow People</p></div>
<p>My ancestors stepped up to the plate when this country was attacked, they farmed the land, owned a couple of manors (and lost them), won voting rights, were persecuted for their religions (many of my ancestors were Radical Non-conformists and were therefore banned from owning certain property, or serving in Parliament) and shaped the country we live in today. The fact that the Governments have handed out citizenship to all and sundry to sway us, to prime us for World Government, sickens me.</p>
<p>The million jobs Polish and new-EU workers filled in the last decade could have been filled during this current economic depression by British people. This is and island surrounded by a body of water. I oppose wholeheartedly the idea that Europe is some Union of identical people, all raising their arms to the same flag. The deliberate Communist destruction of education in this country by the Far Left Teachers&#8217; Unions has removed (as respected journalist Simon Heffer has written about at length) from our children&#8217;s education anything that would make them proud to be British, or a sense of identity, of who &#8216;we&#8217; are, and what &#8216;we&#8217;ve&#8217; done. I&#8217;m not jingoisitc. I don&#8217;t agree with the policies that led to World Wars 1 &amp; 2. But, do I feel a greater unity to my fellow countrymen than to some random African or Polish person? Hell Yes. Wanting to stand up for our culture, our rights and privileges in the face of World Government and global servitude is a noble quest from which I will not refrain or desist.</p>
<p>The way to escape from global tyranny is through National displays of displeasure. If every country refuses to ratify UN behaviour, if every citizenry revolts to their individual governments we can oppose Globalization. All British industry of worth was shipped out the back door decades ago to Asia, and American industry is going to same way according to the Stimulus Bill of Barry Soetaro the Indonesian US President.</p>
<p>I will now explain the vitality of keeping independent nations. Under a one-world system, your voice is one in six-billion people, many of whom cannot read and therefore can have their voices taken by the elite. Read Aravind Adiga&#8217;s novel <em>The White Tiger</em> to gain an insight into the level of systemic corruption in the Indian electoral system then compare it to ours, which although deeply flawed seems perfect in comparison.</p>
<p>The move by the globalists to blend together world population is typical of a group who do not see, race, colour and nations as obstacles. They see  one divide &#8211; the elite producers and the citizen to be their customer. The Bilderburg Group (as exposed in documentary <em>Endgame</em>) seek, as a panel of the most powerful industrial captains, to switch the production hub of the world to Asia, using a global-governmental structure to main cheap production for the élite, binding law. Slavery was not due to a desire to punish black people, the white traders simply saw them as easy pickings due to their lack of civilization and military power to resist the trappers in West Africa. By the same token the Conquistadors enslaved Natives in Central and South America to cheaply produce tobacco and mine for gold.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="NWO" src="http://abz2000.com/images/caution_new_world_order_ahead.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="450" /></p>
<p>The market system as we know it is dependent on countries, all with independent interest rates. The reason the Euro is such a calamitous idea and has now actually <em>caused</em> economic damage, is because a weak country receives a form of pardon when it&#8217;s currency becomes cheaper for exporters to buy its goods. That&#8217;s just economics 101. When Britain is in recession, it needs some extra capital. In theory, the value of the pound should fall against the dollar which encourages Americans to buy British goods. But as industry was moved out and financial services became dominant from the Sixties onwards, our means of punching above our weight as we have done for so long was taken away. British goods were of exceptional quality, with our cotton the finest in the world. The loss of this as its replacement with goods produced under terrible labour conditions in Communist banana-Republics spelt the end of British exceptionalism and the beginning of a New World Order. If the market falls to Global Governance, we, as an independent, democratic state fall. We will no longer be able to perform the base function of a sovereign nation &#8211; that is to set our own taxes, defend our own shores and protect our own people.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The news that David Cameron lied to us about the immigration cap didn&#8217;t surprise me one bit. One of the Coalition&#8217;s only redeeming policies has been thrown under the bus because wealthy special interest groups influenced the Party Line. Cameron is a crook, plain and simple. He received his Tory Party job because of a call from the Palace (strange but true) and is a personal friend of Puppetmaster in chief Nat Rothschild. The immigration disaster continues, the perfidious plans of the NWO march on. Every &#8216;patriot&#8217; in Britain can wave their flags at England games and salute at the military as much as they like &#8211; these acts do not require bravery. What requires bravery is standing up to a criminal government that steals our money to fight illegal wars, detains citizens without trial, and having the balls to be called &#8216;racist&#8217; to oppose these destructive and counterproductive immigration policies from a Libertarian perspective. Long Live Britannia. Fuck the people who wish to bring her down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Join or Die" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Benjamin_Franklin_-_Join_or_Die.jpg/800px-Benjamin_Franklin_-_Join_or_Die.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="462" /></p>
<p>I was having a Facebook discussion a couple of hours ago over the<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/nov/15/ireland-portugal-spain-european-debt-crisis"> hijacking of the Irish nation by the European Union of Banker Scum and the International Motherfucker Fund</a>, and a good friend and I were told our views were &#8216;over the top&#8217;. Frequently, as Libertarians and anti-NWO activists everywhere will tell you, I am told to &#8216;chill out&#8217;, &#8216;calm down&#8217; and &#8216;relax&#8217; when entering into political discussions. Sure, I get angry, I raise my voice, I use strong terminology and speak of matters of life and death. People don&#8217;t expect it, they find it unwelcome, unsettling. But that&#8217;s exactly my point.</p>
<p>We have a criminal world government <a href="http://www.infowars.com/bombshell-evidence-clearly-indicates-staged-attack-on-detroit-flight/">that stages terror attacks</a> and <a href="http://www.infowars.com/big-sis-caught-lying-to-american-people">trains cadres of armed thugs that touching your children&#8217;s genitals at airport security protects the public from &#8216;terrorism&#8217; which is</a>, in fact, <a href="http://http://www.infowars.com/al-qaeda-is-a-front-group-for-the-us-military-industrial-complex/">manufactured by the globalists in an attempt to control resources and consolidate their position at the top of the societal control grid.</a> What about this does not make you seething with rage? The fact that 80+ year old WW2 veterans are being lifted out of wheelchairs to be radiated at Naked Body Scanners in major airports makes me feel physically sick to the pit of my stomach. <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2010/02/ewen-callaway-reportertexas-he.html">The secret DNA databases derrived from the blood they have taken from every baby born in the Western World for the last 30 years</a>, the illegal wars for profit, and the poisonous chemicals in vaccines and the water supply to spur global population reduction. Now, without research you may think I&#8217;m a kook. But I can assure you, it&#8217;s all there. These things exist and are going on.</p>
<p>Therefore, I won&#8217;t &#8216;relax&#8217; or shut up. I won&#8217;t sit down with my mouth shut. Caring more about cheering on a sports team or reality show contestant than attempting to claim back my country and freedom back from the foul hands of tyranny. I will not be silent. I will exercise my right to speak freely.</p>
<p>I want organic foods free from carcinogenic toxins. I want children raised without being shot up with hordes of brain-destroying chemicals allegedly to protect them from long-extinct diseases. I want to be able to express my opinions on the social customs of other cultures without facing time in jail. I want a government with minimal authority, that allows me to hold onto the money I earn. I want a banking system that doesn&#8217;t risk my money in casino-capitalism. I want a system that allows me to proportionally elect independents, not Party chosen hacks simply wishing to earn a fat paycheck and benefit their own industry. I want the right to practice my religion without  interference, or my children to be told at school unscientific lies about human origins or the great falsehood that is mass-extinction and &#8216;global-warming&#8217;.</p>
<p>What is wrong with this destiny? Nothing. I&#8217;m sick of the false &#8216;balance&#8217; of the lame stream media. We&#8217;re told that <em>values</em> are old and out of fashion. That the family is a bad thing. We&#8217;re told that gay &#8216;parents&#8217; are just as normal as Mum and Dad, that keeping animals at home is a &#8216;risk to children&#8217; and that a sense of community is &#8216;racist&#8217; and &#8216;exclusive&#8217;. I know, Ladies and Gentlemen, that I am on the side of good. I know that my vision and values are better than the alternative, which are the chains of poverty for all and freedom for none. Want to live in a state run by bankers and the arms industry? Keep going down this road with no protest, no opposition to the 3 identical political parties that have run things for centuries, and we&#8217;ll end up like France (<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/8096784/Frenchman-locked-up-for-asking-Rachida-Dati-for-an-inflation.html">where a man was recently JAILED for sending a sexually-suggestive email as a piece of satire to Rachida Dati, Sarko&#8217;s former fuckbuddy and now a Minister</a>), or worse, like China, where citizens vanish in the middle of the night never to be seen again if they voice opposition to government policy.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Freedom of Speech is over" src="http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/wp-content/uploads/free_Speech.jpg" alt="" width="348" height="500" /></p>
<p>This is the good side. Free speech, protecting religion, the family, and organic, natural lifestyles. Life is hard, tough and cruel. People fail, and pick themselves up again and learn from it. I&#8217;m not perfect, far from it. Nor is anybody. But when <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.co.uk/2010/11/17/bank-hikes-salaries-to-get-round-city-bonus-cap/">I see the headline that bankers salaries are to rise in opposition to everyone else&#8217;s,</a> <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/8132340/Doctor-asks-Europe-to-rule-on-gay-adoptions.html">or that a woman was prevented from practicing medicine because she disagreed (as a religious person) with gay adoption</a>, I am made ill.</p>
<p>I look at the double-standard of disregard for humanity everywhere. We can&#8217;t shout at a child for fear of &#8216;scarring&#8217; them mentally. Fuck, when my father used to shout at me when I was a little kid, he used to scare the hell out of me. But it did me good. I was (nothing&#8217;s changed) an ignorant, obstinate child, constantly throwing tantrums when I didn&#8217;t get my own way; and his stern direction made me realize that throwing the bowl of soup onto the floor when I didn&#8217;t want to eat it was unacceptable. My grandmother &#8216;making me a Sargent Major&#8217; if I called her a name taught me to respect her. Finishing last in a race on sports day told me if I want to win I have to practice. All these things did me good. But now the &#8216;child psychology &#8216;experts&#8221; claim this makes children &#8216;give up&#8217; and feel disheartened.</p>
<p>This is because we live in a society that rewards weakness, but more on that later. So we can&#8217;t remonstrate children for being little bastards, or make them learn anything about our history of greatness (yes we&#8217;ve done some shameful things but they are far outweighed by the good) because that&#8217;s discriminatory. But abortion is fine. Deciding like some selfish little bitch that you can kill a baby is cool. To quote Alex Jones, &#8216;is driving your 17 year old girlfriend to have an abortion being a man? Is paying the $300 dollars to kill your baby, the thing that would make you grow up the manly thing to do?&#8217; NO IT&#8217;S NOT.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t care if you disagree, because you think you&#8217;re in the right &#8211; that you, and all your smug atheist friends sat jerking off to pictures of Clement Atlee listening to Coldplay are somehow enlightened, that people like me, with our Gods, with our &#8216;values&#8217; are somehow &#8216;outdated&#8217; and that you can&#8217;t wait for the day when the government just arrest us all, deport us to the allegedly melting North Pole or detain us without trial to protect you from the pesky Muslims who don&#8217;t buy into your Godless, baby-killing fetish.</p>
<p>Well you aren&#8217;t in the right. You&#8217;re evil. And I will fight you until the day I die. I will fight your weak-arse bullshit all the goddamn way. Because let me tell you this. When you have a camera in your television like Orwell predicted in <em>1984</em>, a sensor in your bin and a black box in your car (all real policies suggested by the last government) and the Government you smugly voted for are watching you 24/7, drafting your children to fight and die in their corporate wars, limiting the number of children you can have, reducing your savings to nothing by devaluing the currency, making you work longer, and reducing your social security pay-outs, then you&#8217;ll know who was right all-along. You&#8217;ll know you should have listened to me. Enjoy your children having seizures from the vaccines (the flu vaccine last year caused in a tenfold increase in under fives having seizures), enjoy your poverty. But know you caused it.</p>
<p>As you can tell, I&#8217;m very, very angry. In fact, I&#8217;m shaking. I am physically vibrating with the anger of peoples&#8217; ignorance. 51 million babies have been murdered since Roe v Wade legalized abortion in the US in 1973, including nearly half of all black pregnancies. Planned Parenthood, a government-funded group, pay for many of these &#8216;terminations&#8217;. Tax dollars of the American people are spent ripping babies from the wombs of pregnant women. Admittedly, in a tiny percentage (I believe it&#8217;s under 1pc) there are overriding medical reasons such as risk of fetal or maternal health defects of why a pregnancy &#8216;should end&#8217;. But the rest of time it&#8217;s the usual BS. The funding aspect annoys me the most. If I don&#8217;t agree with abortion, I should not be funding it. Indeed, I couldn&#8217;t be more vehement in my opposition. And I&#8217;m sorry if you find that &#8216;offensive&#8217;, but we&#8217;re going to have to agree to disagree.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&nbsp;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 290px"><img class=" " title="Hostel" src="http://www.hauntedreport.com/HOSTEL%202%20teaser2%20MPAA.JPG" alt="" width="280" height="416" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Baby, pass the popcorn, he&#039;s gonna start cutting people up again.</p></div>
<p>This society has been dehumanized. We&#8217;re told torturing &#8216;terrorists&#8217; is acceptable by a former US President. We&#8217;re told that a baby that must receive a lethal injection after being yanked from the womb after a late-term abortion to die, deserves less rights than we afford serial killers (we have no death penalty here, right or wrong), and we&#8217;re told that taking our children to church, Temple, Mosque, Kindred or whatever else is child abuse. Popular movies like <em>Saw</em>, (which we all watch) show human suffering that we revel in, and we play video games where we blow heads off and shoot civilians. Now, I, as a Libertarian, give recognition to other views, and say that they shouldn&#8217;t be suppressed. I accept the right of people to watch whatever movie they like, so long as it doesn&#8217;t hurt anybody (which a movie can&#8217;t). But can you not see we worship at the altar of sickness and inhumanity as a release from the safety-net, Nanny-state dungeon we reside in?</p>
<p>Wake up everybody. Please. This society worships submissive weakness. Banks that fail are bailed out. Kids that finish last are given trophies. Some kid who throws a fire-extinguisher during a protest is labelled &#8216;Britain&#8217;s Most Wanted Man&#8217; because he <em>dared</em> to rebel, dared to stand up and say <em>I won&#8217;t be your slave. I won&#8217;t stand idle.</em> Whether you believe in his cause or not, fire-extinguisher man didn&#8217;t hurt anyone. There&#8217;s rapists out there being told by the sycophantic liberal shrinks that people feel sorry for you. I don&#8217;t care what daddy issues you have, if you rape women, if you violate people &#8211; I don&#8217;t give a damn. You&#8217;re a sick, perverted motherfucker. You still have rights, such is the mark of a civilized society. But you should eb the object of hate, of revilement, not of sympathy. Sympathy should be reserved for people like my grandmother, who worked for 65 years to be presented with a pension that nobody could live off comfortably, because the system comes from central government and her hard-earned money went to fund pointless wars and corrupt politicians. This woman was the backbone of the greatest generation in British history, and the élite want to treat her like shit. That&#8217;s who we should feel sorry for &#8211; not some pale imitation of a man who touches kids in the Tesco car park.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Church Sign" src="http://www.says-it.com/images/page/churchsigns/photos/fight_like_a_real_man.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m so angry about all this. You cannot possibly imagine. Seriously. And I know I&#8217;ll get shit for this article. &#8220;Abortion is a woman&#8217;s right, blah, blah, blah&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;You hate women&#8230;blah blah blah&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;You hate the poor&#8230;blah blah blah&#8221; But I don&#8217;t care. Because I&#8217;m not going to stop until my heart stops beating, got that? You&#8217;ll never beat me, I&#8217;ll never back down like you would when the big man in a uniform tells you to. If you want to hate me, go crying to your boyfriend or girlfriend, or go bitching about me, then fine &#8211; <em>go fucking do it.</em></p>
<p>But I&#8217;m telling you right now &#8211; I do this because I love people. I fight this system, and this society of sin, sickness, or whatever you want to call it because I know that what I stand up for are the good things in life. Free speech, the family, human rights, clean water, clean food, healthy, happy children who can play outside, no wars, no banker-bailouts, no scientific dictatorship eugenicist elite making clone armies, no poisonous gases in the air, a sense of community, friendship, and most of all love. You other people can say what you want, but I echo the words of Patrick Henry, as I have done many times before on this blog when I state categorically &#8211; GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH.</p>
