Sarkozy, Hypocrite.

Can anyone believe the sheer hypocrisy of  Nicholas Sarkozy to criticise immigrants in France and say there are too many immigrants in France. He seems to have forgotten that his family are actually Hungarian immigrants. He also seems to have forgotten also, the strong rumors that his initial Presidential campaign was funded by the son of Col. Gaddafi. Sarkozy should stand back and take a good look in the mirror and be honest about what he sees.

Liam Fox, Obama Impeachment, US election, Yahoo secrecy.

I have a few things to talk about this morning. The first thing is the ex minister of defence and his "best man" Six months have gone by and we have heard absolutely nothing about the scandal of Liam Fox and Adam Werritty touring the world under the guise of government officials when in reality they were international arms dealers. I would be interested to know the reason why we have heard nothing since Fox's resignation. David Cameron is currently touring the far east under the guise of trying to drum up investment in the UK. In actual fact he is there as an international arms dealer, and he doesn't care who he sells to.
There is a growing consensus in the US that President Obama be impeached. Among the reasons why are the fact that he authorised the murder of an American citizen, Anwar Al Awlaki, without due process, a violation of the constitution. Also, the fact that Obama has taken the US to war without the required consent of the Congress, again, a violation of the constitution. Again, he has signed into law the N.D.A.A. bill which allows the security services to arrest US citizens and detain them without charge. Yet another violation of the constitution. If only we could do the same with Tony Blair. There is good news and bad news from the GOP struggle to find a candidate to stand against Obama. The good news is that Rick Santorum has removed himself from the campaign. The bad news is that Mitt Romney is now the overwhelming favourite to be nominated. I heard him called "The Mormon moron" the other day. It doesn't matter that he is Mormon, but the moron bit is entirely correct. The mainstream media have continued to ignore Ron Paul which shows how US politics is dominated by millionaire donors of massive amounts of money. If a candidate was judged only on his policies and recieved equal coverage by the media, Ron Paul would win hands down.
Proof, if were actually needed that I.S.P's were spying on their customers was presented to me just last month. I was searching for cheap flights to Italy for a city break. Only a day later I opened my e-mails to find my inbox full of different companies trying to sell me flights to almost every city in mainland Europe. Obviously, Yahoo take info and sell it on, but they do not ask permission to distribute my e-mail address and what I search for. I have looked at their terms and conditions and can find no mention of anything to do with sharing or selling personal info to other company's. With that said I will end this little parade through the murky waters of current affairs.

Israeli Hysteria.

Today I was reading a very interesting post on Steve Lendmans blog and felt I had to comment. The post was about Israel declaring the Nobel prize winner, (literature 1999) Gunter Grass "Persona non Grata" he had published a poem called "What Must Be Said" which criticised Israels threat to attack Iran. Extreme right wing Shas Party leader, Eli Yishai is leading the hysterical condemnation of Grass. The main focus is to do with his service with the Waffen SS during WW2. Not surprisingly, the fact that he was 17 when he was conscripted and that it was very near the end of the war has not been mentioned. He is not the only victim of Israeli hysteria. Conductor, Daniel Barenboim was almost banned from Israel for daring to perform music by Wagner. UK journalist, Peter Hounam was banned from entering Israel for corresponding with Israeli whistle-blower Mordecai Vanunu. US political scientist/activist Norman Finkelstein and UN human rights special rapporteur Richard Falk and famous Spanish clown, Ivan Prado have also been banned. The fact that Israel are breaking UN resolutions on a daily basis and getting away with it. People are telling the truth about Israel and are being ostracised by a government that is refusing to admit that they have a substantial nuclear arsenal, which is in itself an infringement of UN resolutions. The fact also that they seem desperate to unleash those weapons on a fellow member of the UN is a disgraceful state of affairs that should result in UN sanctions on Israel. It seems that public criticism of Israel is frowned upon, especially in the UK and the USA. As soon as someone speaks out against Israeli crimes, the charge of anti-semitism is levelled at them. Israel, it seems, is above the law and can ride roughshod over international law. It is time that they were told that enough is enough and a start would be the enforcement of the UN resolution which bans the forced occupation of Palestinian land. Will that happen? I am not holding my breath.

Abu Hamza Extradition from UK to USA.

I was embroiled in a heated discussion on the Yahoo news page reporting on the extradition of the radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza. Most people missed the point I was trying to make. The point was that Hamza was being extradited for having ties to Al Qaeda and I mentioned that both the US and UK governments had been working with known Al Qaeda operatives in the Libyan uprising last year. I quoted the Libyan rebel leader as saying that jihadists who had been fighting allied forces in Iraq were now fighting for the NATO backed rebels in Libya. These facts are verifiable but still people were saying that I was a conspiracy theorist. I deal in facts and so the word theorist is not applicable. The main crux of my original post was to show the double standards adopted by the government of the UK. Some comments were so blinkered, for instance, "I don't care what methods the government uses to protect us" That is in itself double standards. They don't seem to realise that successive governments in this country were pursuing policies that were in fact putting the safety of the population in jeopardy. People have to be made aware that the elite that rule us are not acting in our best interests. Last month for instance, the chancellor, George Osbourne, gave the top earners a huge tax break while hammering the middle and lower classes with huge increases in tax for consumer goods and foodstuffs. The people who were posting were focusing on the fact that Abu Hamza was dangerous when in fact he couldn't possibly be. The UK security services are keeping a 24 hour observation on this man. Phone tapping and monitoring of his on line activity would be carried out as a matter of course. No one picked up on the fact that Hamza was able to disregard British sovereignty and take his case to the European Court of Human Rights. Criminal justice in this country should be the sole responsibility of our government. People would be horrified if they actually became aware of the amount of independence our government had transferred to Brussels. People need to wake up to the fact that freedoms that we take for granted are being eroded, not on the orders of Westminster, but on the orders of Brussels. This is unacceptable and we must fight to protect our freedoms. We are close to the point at which it will be too late to stop the full integration of the EU to a federal entity and when that happens it's goodbye to freedom.

Minimum Price For Alcohol In The UK.

I have to write about the proposal to fix the minimum price for alcohol. This has got nothing whatsoever to do with stopping binge drinking in the UK. It has everything to do with making it too expensive for people to go to the pub for a night out. The reason being, that, at the pub, people get together and talk. They exchange ideas about various things, such as how badly the government are screwing us with all the cuts and wage freezes they are implementing. What the government really want us to do is to sit in our houses watching the propaganda that masquerades as entertainment on our TVs. back to the minimum price farce. You can bet your boots that there will be a loophole placed in the legislation to allow the big supermarkets, ie Tesco, Morrison's, Salisbury's etc to escape the minimum price law, which means that we will only be able to afford to sit in our houses and drink ourselves into oblivion. This law has to be fought and fought vigorously.
With all the legislation to restrict our rights already in place, this is one more step to total government control of our lives. Yes it is that serious.

More Erosion's Of Freedom

This is a sad time to be a supporter of freedom and justice. Ken Clarke, our justice minister has announced that secret courts are going to become more frequent in the UK. The reason being that the security services, MI5/6 don't want their activities to be brought into the public domain. That very reason should send shivers down everybody's spine, because it means that they really do have things to hide. Nick Clegg has spoken out against "some" parts of the proposed bill. That is a smokescreen, the bill will go through the various stages and in the end it will pass into law and then yet more of our freedoms will have been lost forever. MI5/6 say that this bill will protect their operatives from being identified by foreign powers, another smokescreen, this bill will be used to give the various police forces in this country the pretext to crack down on people they have already identified as political agitators. Our rights to peaceful protest are already being curtailed and will be under more threat with the passing of this bill. Secrecy in government goes against the principles of true democracy and should be challenged by one and all. There are local (council) elections taking place in May of this year. This is a perfect time to make our feelings known. Say no to secrecy and yes to true transparent democracy.

George Galloway, Fuel Crisis Scam, Syria, US Election.

George Galloway last night won a huge victory in the Bradford West by-election. He beat the three main party's by polling 56% of the vote. Take note Cameron, Miliband and Clegg. Your policies are not working and the people of Bradford have spoken out for the rest of us.
I feel I have to expose this fuel crisis scam by Cameron and Francis Maud. No strike date has been set and yet those two fraudsters have conned the population into panic buying fuel at an unprecedented rate. Stand back and examine the timing of this scam. Just before the end of the tax year and Cameron has conned the public into paying millions of pounds into to government coffers. This is a blatant piece of scaremongering. It transpires that a woman in York in England has accidentally set herself on fire while transferring petrol from a can in her kitchen. I know that common sense should have told her to do it outside, but if Cameron and Maud had not caused such a panic, she would never have done what she did. It's about time that Cameron and his disastrous government showed some common sense themselves.
Announced today. Cameron says that he is doubling the "non military" (that will be right) aid to the Syrian opposition. My question is, what faction of the opposition is he giving aid to? Also, why have UK and US made arms been found in bases used by the opposition? Do we really believe that Cameron and Obama have not supplied arms and ammunition to the Syrian rebels, remembering that at the beginning of the Libyan rebellion, those same two idiots said that they were not supplying weapons to the Libyan rebels and later had to retract their statements. My reading of the situation is that NATO see Syria as a stepping stone to Iran. This is blatant empire building by the descendants of British aristocrats that have never come to terms with the demise of the British empire. Well I have news for them the British empire was not great and not beneficial to the people whose countries were conquered. Empires throughout history have been repressive and evil entities and the British one was no different.
If ever there was a reason not to vote for Mitt Romney this is it. George Bush Snr. has fully endorsed "our old friend Mitt Romney" There have since been calls for Santorum and Gingrich to stand down as candidates so that the party can unite behind Romney. They seem to have forgotten someone. Ron Paul is still there fighting away despite almost total exclusion by the likes of Fox, CBS, BBC, etc. Bush must really want Obama to serve another term. Endorsing Romney has all but guaranteed that the US will have yet more stagnation in the jobs market and yet more draconian laws that eat away at the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Well that's all for now.
