Another caption competition (sorry)

David Davis

I found this over at Legiron’s place, somewhere in Sunny Scotland, and I’m sorry but I just have to share the pic with you droids.

Let me quote from his piece:-

Anyway, the label informs me that it contains seven different nationalities of sulphite, but above that are the three little pictures of interest.

The first one obviously means ‘drink as much as you like, it won’t make you fat’. The second tells you what you can expect the room to do if you overindulge.

The third one looks like a one-armed man taking another bottle from a rather large wine rack and is an encouragement to open another one. How does a one-armed man operate a corkscrew? This and other deep questions have occupied many a booze-fuelled discussion in the past, and no doubt will in the future. (This para won’t go red, however hard I try, so bugger it.)

But I think we want some other captions too, people.

Extremely funny pic

David Davis

This came by just now over at Legiron’s place. Perhaps it deserves a caption competition: we don’t seem to have done one in a while.

Tha Man on the Stage Really Does Know Best

Michael Winning

Im old enough to remember “The Man In Whitehall” so this from Samizdata amused me. Some actroid person has given his views to the American MPs and whatever  their Lords is called over there, well so what?

Got a new pedigree boar coming later today so I may be busy for a few days getting new bloke settled in. Pigs are brighter than politicians I think. Have to show him which ones his new wives are. One at a time I think.

Must remember to ask some film stars about pig breeding. They’ll know.

Perhaps the “Labour Party” will split….

..into the “Party”, and the “Labour part”.

David Davis

Interesting times.

Obnoxio pretending to not blog any more

David Davis

Here….the usual widely-sprayed invective applies.

Interesting theory about the 2006 act

Michael Winning.

It says at Samizdata that some funny-bisiness about the 2006 Racial and Religious Hatred Act may be going on behind the curtains. Wonder wgat you people think?

These Sheep Deserve the Wolves They’ve Got!

 Mario Huet

A shit-for-brains neighbour says: ‘I think there should be an investigation. I cannot help but think that whoever did this has caused her death. If it hadn’t happened, she would still be working in the market.’

Such a lukewarm response – and how typical of the bleeding sheeple! Working in the market? Not only that, love, but she’d still be alive. And THIS is why things are so bad for us. It’s not useless pigs or corrupt politicians or corporate greed or the EU or America or ANYTHING else. It’s a worthless degraded populace who for the most part would sooner watch their neighbours die horribly and then bleat feebly afterward than do anything to prevent it. I don’t believe this has anything to do with intimidation; I don’t believe more than a tiny minority of people are much afraid of this. What they are afraid of is of someone in authority telling them that they are ‘making a fuss’, and of their ‘friends’ and neighbours not approving. These are exactly the sort of people who tend to respond to people like us that we are unfeeling and that the things would see done would have deleterious effects on the ‘less fortunate’. But the truth is that they are the ones who have no faith in human nature, unless it is a faith that it is human nature that we should all live and die in the gutter.

Tormented to death: Pensioner, 80, dies after she falls into manhole trap set by yobs who made her life a misery

By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 12:51 PM on 24th September 2010

Jenny Ward, 80, from Blackpool, who died after she fell down a manhole when the cover was stolen and never recovered

Jenny Ward had been plagued by a gang of youths who smashed the windows of her home and taunted her for several months

An 80-year-old woman died after sick yobs removed a manhole cover from her driveway and she plunged into the hole in darkness.

Jenny Ward, who still worked on a market stall selling jewellery, had been plagued by a gang of youths who smashed the windows of her home and taunted her for several months.

The thugs’ campaign of harassment eventually ended in tragedy when the pensioner returned home and fell into the trap late one night.

Her cries for help went unheard for three hours until she was finally rescued by firefighters.

After spending a month in hospital and enduring an operation on her foot, Mrs Ward went to live with a relative, but took a turn for the worse and died in hospital on September 8.

Blackpool coroner’s office said Mrs Ward died after a blood clot formed in her lung caused by deep vein thrombosis.

However, friends and neighbours of the pensioner, who had run a market stall in Blackpool for 50 years, said she had never recovered from the campaign of torment and her fall into the manhole.

They have accused police of not doing enough to deal with anti-social behaviour and urged them to find those responsible.

They said that in the weeks leading up to the manhole incident she been scared to return to her home on Shetland Road, because a gang of around ten to 15 teenagers would gather regularly outside her home.

Bev Lord, who worked with Mrs Ward in the market, said: ‘I’m devastated. She was being tormented. She stayed out most nights and didn’t go back home until later because she was frightened of being home. She was getting verbal abuse and she had her windows smashed.

‘She was still working up to a couple of months ago when she had arrived home late one night and someone had stolen the manhole cover from her drive. She didn’t see it and got trapped down the hole.

‘At her age it must have been such a shock. She was well known, she was a real character.

‘I think there should be an investigation. I cannot help but think that whoever did this has caused her death. If it hadn’t happened, she would still be working in the market.’

Victor Granda, 46, who had known Mrs Ward since her family employed her on an ice-cream stall when she was a teenager, said: ‘She was a lovely lady. She’d talk to a lot of people.

‘These teenagers were making her life a misery. They were throwing stones at her, shouting things at her and taunting her.

‘She was staying out later and later at night because she didn’t want to see these youths.

‘The next thing I heard she had fallen down a manhole because a cover had been taken. A Google Street View shot of Shetland Road, Blackpool

Anti-social: Neighbours said Mrs Ward was afraid to return to her home in Shetland Road, Blackpool, because of gangs of youths hanging around

‘She’d been a very energetic lady, she would have had about ten years on her if this hadn’t have happened.’

Neighbour Ced Nortorn, an assistant manager at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, said: ‘Mrs Ward was being victimised by local children. It’s been a shock.’

Another neighbour, who did not wish to be named for fear of reprisals, said: ‘They were always hanging about outside her house and they’d give her cheek.

‘There was a gang of them. I’ve had hassle from them too. There should be an investigation. Someone took the manhole cover and she fell in it. I think that’s why she died.’

Another neighbour said: ‘They smashed her window once but Mrs Ward said she didn’t get it fixed because they’d only do it again.

Police said they were not aware of the antisocial behaviour and have not launched an investigation as the coroner’s office did not deem Mrs Ward’s death as suspicious.

But they say they are looking into the theft of the manhole cover and urged anyone with information to contact them.

PC Paul Michael said: ‘We regularly patrol this area, but we’ve not been made aware that antisocial behaviour is a particular problem.

‘We would encourage residents to report incidents to us so we can provide an appropriate policing response.”

 David Miliband and the Labour Party:
A Suicide Pact Made in Heaven?
by Sean Gabb

 

 I have written very little this year on politics. This is not a product of idleness. Nor does it show any fading of interest. The reason is that I have been hard at work on two other projects. These will, I hope, advance the cultural agenda of our Movement. I hope they will also help save my daughter from the trouble of having to work for a living. But they are now finished. Next week, or the week after, I must begin another, and this will again take me partly out of immediate circulation. For the moment, though, I have both time and inclination to write about politics.

Who Should Lead the Labour Party?

I will begin by looking at the election of a new leader for the Labour Party. The voting came to an end late yesterday afternoon, the 22nd September 2010. The result will be declared on Saturday the 25th. I am too late, therefore, to try influencing the outcome – not, of course, that my recommendations would have had any influence on those able to vote. What I can do is to explain which of the five candidates is most likely to serve the interests of England. To be specific, which of the five is most likely to diminish the chance that Labour will ever win another general election?

I will dismiss Ed Balls and Andy Burham out of hand. There is no point in denouncing them as sordid apparatchiks – as principals and as willing accomplices in treason and tyranny. All five are that. No one who has sat steaming for any length of time on the dung heap that is New Labour can be regarded as other than a beast in human form. Their disqualification from our point of view is that they are both white and English. This means that, with careful presentation, they can be dressed up as champions of the common man. Since, even with a better government than we currently have, the next few years will be difficult, we cannot afford a credible Labour response to the inflation and unemployment that are the results of the artificial boom engineered by Gordon Brown.

I will also dismiss Diane Abbott. Many people tell me that a black woman cannot become Prime Minister in England. I am not too sure of this. There is, I have no doubt, much more colour prejudice in this country than fear of the law and fear of informal penalties will allow to be expressed. At the same time, I doubt if there is enough colour prejudice to stop her from being an effective party leader. We must consider that, unlike all the other candidates, she does look like a normal human being. Her opinions may be both stupid and malevolent. But she always manages to look good on television. At the same time, she could count on the undivided support of non-white voters that Mr Obama found so useful in America. And there are just as many middle class fools in this country as in America who would think that supporting a black politician was atonement for the past five billion years of white racism. We cannot afford Diane Abbott. She may be less dangerous than Messrs Balls and Burnham. Still, she is, in terms of her own abilities, and in terms of the coalition of forces that would gather round her, too dangerous to consider.

This leaves us with the two Miliband brothers. And these are certainly worth considering. They have the great advantage for us of being Jewish. Now, while there are Jewish organisations that get money and support by insisting that England is two steps from our own Kristallnacht, I doubt if many English people have even noticed the shape of the Miliband noses. Of those who have noticed, I doubt if more than a few thousand think ill of it. Native anti-semitism is so rare that it has to be hunted out, where not actually fabricated. And do bear in mind that the British National Party, which is our largest white nationalist organisation, welcomes Jewish members and is vaguely pro-Israel in its foreign policy. However, the non-white population is solidly anti-semitic. Moslems, black Christians, whatever – they largely hate Jews with a ferocity not known in England since the middle ages.

It may be disagreeable that we must share a country with such people. But it would be rather funny to see Labour hoist by its own petard. After 1997, Labour Governments knowingly encouraged the immigration of between seven and ten million non-whites into this country. They did so because it accelerated the upward redistribution of wealth to which modern ruling classes are all committed. They did so because it helped break up the solidarity of the ruled that is another ruling class project. They also did so because they believed that the new arrivals, once they had been waved through the citizenship formalities, would mostly vote Labour. And they will – so long as an English or a Scotch man or a black woman is in charge. They will not vote, I think, for a Labour Party led by a Jew. And this is regardless of how seldom either Miliband goes into a synagogue, and regardless of how little public enthusiasm either has shown for Israel.

This will be still more the case if the Liberals get the electoral reform that the Conservatives may not be able to deny them. So far, the two main parties have been held together by the iron logic of the first past the post system. I, for example, voted Conservative in this year’s election not because I thought David Cameron would be a good Prime Minister – but because the Conservatives were the only force able to get Labour out of office. I normally vote for the UK Independence Party. I would, in other than general elections, and if a candidate were to stand where I live, vote for the Libertarian Party. But I voted Conservative in the general election because not to vote Conservative would have risked another Labour Government.

It is the same with non-white electors. They might swallow their prejudices and vote for a Labour Party led by a Jew if the alternative was to let in a Conservative Government. But the alternative vote system will allow them to give their first preferences to Islamic and black nationalist parties. Their second preferences might be enough for Labour. But the loss of first preferences might be enough to keep Labour from ever winning a majority of the English seats. And the accompanying redistribution of seats would make Scotch votes far less important than they have been.

And so, my prayers are with the Milibands. I should now say, though, which of the two brothers I prefer. My preference is for David. His brother, Ed, has several disadvantages from our point of view. He was not in Parliament when his Party voted to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has distanced himself from these atrocities. He has also accepted that identity cards and other police state laws were not entirely good things. Worse, he was Environment Secretary in the Brown Government, and always gave the impression of believing the drivel he was given to read out in public. He looks thick – but a visible lack of intelligence has never been a disadvantage in English politics. Apparent sincerity has always weighed more than cleverness.

David Miliband, however, is irremediably tainted with all the horrors of the Blair and Brown regime. He supported those wars. He supported every police state law that was brought forward. And he has all the commitment in his speaking manner of a Kremlin teleprinter. He looks thick. If we leave aside his ability to crawl nearly to the top of the Labour dung heap, he probably is thick. But, where his brother does not, he also manages to look like a supercilious fraud. I do hope he wins. Indeed, I am so convinced he would be the right man for the job, that I did briefly think of handing over a £1 joining fee to the Labour Party in order to vote for him. With David Miliband in charge, we might hope for a repeat at the next election of Labour’s 1983 performance.

The Worthless Conservatives

Now, here I must say, as clearly as I can, that, I do not want a melt-down of Labour support because it might give a clear run to the Conservatives. The reason I want the Labour Party to vanish up its own bottom is because this enables our own attack on the Conservative Party.

I welcomed the present Coalition Government in May because it was not Labour. I am grateful for the limited return since then to constitutional government. Of course, I was pleased when the new Home Secretary told the police that they could not stop people at random in the street for searches and questions. I am delighted that the Government has abolished identity cards and shut down the National Identity Register that was supposed ultimately to store every last details of our lives – including DNA samples – so we could never again live privately in freedom, and never again remake ourselves. I hope that the unequal extradition treaty with America will be amended, and that the European Arrest Warrants will be made harder to enforce that has so far been the case. I look forward to many other retreats from the Labour police state.

Even so, David Cameron does not preside over a government of reaction. Unlike in 1660, there will be no legislative voiding of the previous revolution. The multicultural agenda has been left untouched, and natives will continue to suffer official discrimination and censorship. The most malevolent agencies of the Labour State will not be closed down. There is no chance that we shall leave the European Union. As for the cuts in government spending we have been promised, these will not abolish the clientage to which millions of people have been reduced. I cannot be bothered to go through the numbers. I am, however, assured that, in real terms, the British State will spend more next year – after the Osborne “cuts” have begun – than it did in 2005, when Gordon Brown was bribing us with our own money to keep him and Tony Blair in office. If there are cuts, these will be felt by ordinary people, who will not get the state healthcare and pensions and education they were promised. The bureaucracies that meddle in the smallest details of our lives will be left mostly intact. Above all, perhaps, the new Ministers are at least as committed as the old to the “climate change” hoax. While enriching and legitimising the ruling class, this threatens ordinary people with impoverishment and slavery on a scale that makes the totalitarianisms of the last century almost benevolent.

Conservative Members of Parliament have told me, in private, that this is not a purely Conservative Government, and that nothing can be done without the consent of their Liberal Democrat partners. There is something in what they say. Like most other people, I had never paid much attention to our third party. Since it was never likely to get into government, there was no point investigating its stated or actual beliefs. I did think, nevertheless, that its economics were broadly mutualist, or even Georgist, with a dash of Keynes. I was wrong. I am not sure who does vote Liberal Democrat. But its Ministers are behaving in office as if they were just as much the representatives of public sector employees as the Labour Party. They are state socialists without New Labour’s stiffening of ex-Communists.

But, if there is something in what my Conservative friends tell me, it is also true that a purely Conservative Government would have been hardly any different to what we have. I never believed that a Cameron majority would result in a government of reaction. I did believe that withdrawal from the European Union would be firmly ruled out by Mr Cameron, and that he would buy off most complaints from within his party by keeping identity cards. At least this has not been necessary. It is, however, undeniable that the Government we have is committed to working within the terms set by Tony Blair before he went barking mad.

I repeat – I welcome many things that have been done, and that are yet to be done, by the Coalition. This does not make me a supporter of the Coalition. The lesser of two evils is less evil – but it is also still evil.

Do you remember the Thermidore Reaction? That was when the French Jacobins were rounded up and sent to their own guillotine or packed off somewhere nasty to die of yellow fever. Do you remember the Soviet de-Stalinisation of the 1950s? That was when the Gulag was slimmed down a little, and there were private mutterings that Stalin himself had gone a little too far. Well, to speak in these terms about England may seem hyperbolic. But we really are living through our own equivalent of these reactions. Labour’s revolutionary terror is being wound down. But the revolution itself remains the governing consensus. No one presently in or near office has the slightest inclination to return us to a situation where we can call ourselves the free citizens of an independent country.

I do not believe there is any chance in the short term or a genuine reaction. One commenter on the LA Blog tells me of his plan for a violent overthrow of the Establishment, to be followed by the trial and execution of perhaps ten thousand traitors and other class enemies. But I am not at all persuaded that violence is either desirable or possible. Other people tell me that we should give all assistance to some other party that may then get elected. But I am hardly more persuaded that any of the alternative parties currently on offer is up to winning a general election. If we are to get out of our present mess, it must be after a process of delegitimisation that will include destroying the Conservative Party. Only then will some other force emerge that may restore something like the old order – or create a new order that will serve something like the same purpose.

What Do We Want?

Oh – I see I have just used the phrase “new order”. I could change this to avoid the pointing of Marxoid fingers. Instead, I will make it an excuse to spell out what I actually want. I want to live in a country where everyone has freedom of speech and association, and where justly-acquired property is secure from confiscation and can be freely enjoyed. In such a country, such government as remains is limited in every exercise of power. It is limited, by a bill of rights, in the laws it can make. It is limited, by strict procedural safeguards, in its enforcement of the laws. There is a clear division between state and voluntary activity, and state activity is small in both nature and extent. In such a country, furthermore, every official is accountable, at one or two legal removes, to the people who pay his salary; and the nation as a whole is free from outside control.

We do not live in such a country. To what extent the old order – the mixed Constitution of Church and State, the hegemony of the landed interest, and so forth – secured these things is worth arguing about elsewhere. It is undeniable that the present order of things, that emerged during the twentieth century, does not. This order is one of growing administrative despotism – a despotism sometimes directed by those holding the traditional offices of state, but just as often by those whose names and even functions are unknown to the people. It is also an order, as said, where wealth is systematically redistributed upwards to those public and formally private interest groups that exist because of state privilege.

The new order that I want – and that I largely believe is wanted across our Movement – is one in which most state agencies will have been shut down, and in which the legal and administrative privileges that maintain big business, the credentialed professions, the centralised media, and all other sinister interests, in existence will have been revoked. This does involve a revolution of one kind or another – a revolution, or a counter-revolution, or just a reaction: call it what you will. But, if the people ever take to the streets to demand change, this will have been preceded by a delegitimisation of the present order of things – just as the ancient régime in France withered after the 1770s, and the traditional autocracy in Russia withered after the 1880s. Long before a visible blow can have been landed against it, this present order of things will have been made incapable of defending itself. Of course, it must – as will every order founded on a denial of human nature – perish from within. But this inevitable fall will have been hastened by our own relentless critique.

I want to live in this kind of new order. If I cannot have it for myself, I want it for my daughter. And if someone important wants to construe my definition of “new order” as evidence that I am a neo-nazi terrorist, that only shows how far we currently stand from achieving any of it

Certainly, though, no escape from the present order of things can be easily urged so long as the Labour Party remains a credible danger to what freedom we still have. I can already see the Ministers and their smug Tory boy assistants go about their business, challenging every objection by asking “You wouldn’t want Labour back – would you?” And my own answer is “No, I do not.” I do not want Labour back. Life under Khrushchev is better than life under Stalin. The jeunesse dorée are better than the sight of those hags knitting under the guillotine. Better the Stupid Party than the Evil Party.  And so, while another Labour Government remains more than an outside possibility, the work of counter-revolution cannot be pressed on. It is not to be put on hold, least of all forgotten. But it cannot reasonably claim all our effort.

That is why David Miliband must be our man. I think the worst choice the Labour Party could make – from our point of view – is Ed Balls or Andy Burnham. The best choice really is David Miliband, with his invisible moustache and jerky movements and his inability to do other than defend every monstrous act of the Blair and Brown Regime. Bearing in mind how we have shambled through the past thousand years of our history, England has been an astonishingly lucky nation. Let us hope, this coming Saturday, that our luck will hold.

Food as a weapon of mass destruction

David Davis

Michael should be writing about this, but he’s off elsewhere trying to borrow the dosh to buy another pedigree boar, as his one’s just died. Anyway, you all perceive I am sure the current trend in world food prices. My interest was triggered by this article today, clearly written by someone who knows what’s going on.

I say this because the author has skated egg-walkingly around the politically-charged issue of biofuels, which to my mind and in the view of most libertarians is a cleverly-cloaked way to export starvation – initially to those people that have the least ability, energy, resources and political clout to protest.

It has to be the correct conclusion, as the use of thsee wickedly and immorally-raised fuels serves no kind of “climate-related” purpose whatsoever. On Facebook I have just stated publicly what will happen to the politicos (and the directors and shareholders of firms which abetted their designs) as outwardly a little light amusement: but in reality, as our regular reader knows, you don’t know whether I am just joking or not.

Completely non-political advice

Mrs Gabb and I often have cause to go away from home for a week or so at a time. Sadly, we live in a part of the country where power cuts are not uncommon. This raises the fear that all our frozen food will defrost and then refreeze. This may be something you only find has happened after you have started vomiting.

What I do, therefore, when going away is to fill a coffee mug with ice cubes and put it into the freezer. If, when you come back, the ice cubes have become an even layer of ice, you know that the freezer has been off long enough to justify binning all the food. If, on the other hand, the cubes are more or less as you left them – and remember that, unless you keep your freezer at a very low temperature, gravity alone will cause some merging of ice cubes – you have nothing to fear.

There – not a word about politics, nor even about the many excellences of my friend Richard Blake, the critically-acclaimed and internationally best-selling author, whose novels are ideal for bringing smiles to all those hard-to-please faces this coming Christmas.

Green Slime Manifesto

This will send a shiver down the spine!

Paul Joseph Watson

Monday, September 20, 2010

A Finnish environmentalist guru has gone further than any other global  warming alarmist in openly calling for fascism as a necessary step to  save the planet from ecological destruction, demanding that climate  change deniers be “re-educated” in eco-gulags and that the vast  majority of humans be killed with the rest enslaved and controlled by  a green police state, with people forcibly sterilized, cars  confiscated and travel restricted to members of the elite.

Philosopher Pentti Linkola has built an enthusiastic following of  self-described “eco-fascists” receptive to his message that the state  should enact draconian measures of “discipline, prohibition,  enforcement and oppression” in order to make people comply with  environmental dictates.

Linkola’s barbaric and dictatorial philosophy has remained relatively  obscure but is now gaining traction as the mask of environmentalism is  lifted to unveil its true nature — a justification for 21st century  tyranny on a grand scale, characterized by eugenics, sterilization,  gulags, police states, and total government control over every aspect  of our existence.

Linkola’s doctrine is more extreme, repulsive, and threatening to  liberty than anything carried out by history’s worst dictators,  Hitler, Stalin and Mao — combined. Indeed, Linkola laments that such  monsters didn’t go far enough in wiping out many more millions of  people.

Under Linkola’s proposal to save earth from man-made climate change,  ”only a few million people would work as farmers and fishermen,  without modern conveniences such as the automobile.” This system would  be enforced by the creation of a “Green Police” who would abandon “the  syrup of ethics” that governs human behavior to completely dominate  the population.

Linkola calls for forced abortions, while also adding that another  world war would be “a happy occasion for the planet” because it would  eradicate tens of millions of people. The environmentalist believes  that only jackbooted tyranny can help to save mother earth from “the  worst ideologies in the world” which he defines as “growth and  freedom”.

“Any dictatorship would be better than modern democracy,” he writes.  ”There cannot be so incompetent dictator, that he would show more  stupidity than a majority of the people. Best dictatorship would be  one where lots of heads would roll and government would prevent any  economical growth.”

Those who refuse to be enslaved by Linkola’s new eco-tyranny would be  abducted and sent to the mountains for “re-education” in eco-gulags,  according to the environmentalist, who says that the only solution  ”lies in a centralised government and the tireless control of  citizens.”

 As part of his eco-fascist hell, Linkola calls for ‘killing  defectives’ by means of sterilization, licenses for births, tight  regulation of electricity, forcing humans to eat rats, the  confiscation of private cars, travel to be restricted to members of  the elite only, and businesses to be terminated as the economy is  entirely handed over to the control of the state.

The heart of Linkola’s dark philosophy revolves around the need to  slaughter masses of humans. “If there were a button I could press, I  would sacrifice myself without hesitating if it meant millions of  people would die,” he writes.

“Who misses all those who died in the Second World War? Who misses the  twenty million executed by Stalin? Who misses Hitler’s six million  Jews?” asks Linkola.

It is impossible to accurately explain and quantify the sheer level of  depravity exhibited within Linkola’s belief system. If these words  were written by a crazed mass murderer then we’d at least be able to  dismiss their import, but these horrendous doctrines are embraced by a  prominent environmentalist whose popularity is growing as the putrid  tentacles of the eco-fascist movement grow into more areas of society  and public discourse.

“We will have toŒlearn from the history of revolutionary movements ˜  the national socialists, the Finnish Stalinists, from the many stages  of the Russian revolution, from the methods of the Red Brigades ˜ and  forget our narcissistic selves,” writes Linkola, firmly entrenching  his environmental activism in the political prism of Nazism and  Stalinism.

Indeed, Linkola’s policies make Hitler and Stalin look like  fair-minded humanitarians.

Read Linkola’s loving and human overpopulation analogy, which as we  have documented, is a contrived problem debunked by the UN’S own  population statistics.

“What to do, when a ship carrying a hundred passengers suddenly  capsizes and only one lifeboat? When the lifeboat is full, those who  hate life will try to load it with more people and sink the lot. Those  who love and respect life will take the ship’s axe and sever the extra  hands that cling to the sides of the boat.”

 In reality, by 2020 population will stabilize and by 2050 the global  population will start to decline at an alarming rate, with the  replacement rate for humans dropping below 2.1. Linkola’s bloodthirsty  desire to see the human surplus brutally culled has more in common  with the discredited pseudo-philosophy of Malthus than it does any  basis in scientific fact.

As we have documented, although not going quite as far as Linkola, the  eco-fascist movement is attracting prominent advocates, including  James Lovelock, the creator of the Gaia hypothesis. Lovelock told the Guardian earlier this year that “democracy must be  put on hold” to combat global warming and that “a few people with  authority” should be allowed to run the planet.

This sentiment was echoed by author and environmentalist Keith  Farnish, who in a recent book called for acts of sabotage and  environmental terrorism in blowing up dams and demolishing cities in  order to return the planet to the agrarian age. Prominent NASA global  warming alarmist and Al Gore ally Dr. James Hansen endorsed Farnish’s  book.

Linkola concurs with Farnish and Hansen, writing, “Everything we have  developed over the last 100 years should be destroyed.”

Another prominent figure in the climate change debate who exemplifies  the violent and death-obsessed belief system of the movement is Dr.  Eric R. Pianka, an American biologist based at the University of Texas  in Austin. During a speech to the Texas Academy of Science in March  2006, Pianka advocated the need to exterminate 90% of the world’s  population through the airborne ebola virus. The reaction from scores  of top scientists and professors in attendance was not one of shock or  revulsion — they stood and applauded Pianka’s call for mass genocide.

The current White House science czar John P. Holdren also advocates  the most obscenely dictatorial, eco-fascist, and inhumane practices in  the name of environmentalism.

In his 1977 Ecoscience textbook, Holdren calls for a “planetary  regime” to carry out forced abortions and mandatory sterilization  procedures, as well as drugging the water supply, in an effort to cull  the human surplus.

Linkola has outstripped even notorious murder mastermind Charles  Manson in his hatred for the human race. During prison interviews,  Manson routinely spoke of his belief that around 50 million humans  should be slaughtered for the good of the planet, whereas Linkola and  his fans simply believe that humanity should cease to exist in its  entirety. A fan site dedicated to Linkola includes links to his  articles which have headlines like “Extinguish Humans, Save the  World”.

Like Manson, Linkola has become a respected environmentalist guru for  a new cult of believers who feel that governments and global  institutions are not being ruthless enough in enforcing overdue  measures to save the Earth from ecological destruction.

“Linkola has built an environmentalist following by calling for an  authoritarian, ecological regime that ruthlessly suppresses  consumers,” writes the Guardian’s Micah White, adding that Linkola has  ”opened the way for a wave of fascist environmentalists who reject  democratic freedom.”

 Another Finnish environmentalist writer, Martin Kreiggeist, hails  Linkola’s call for eco-gulags and oppression as “a solution,” calling  for people to “take up the axes” in pursuit of killing off the third  world. Kreiggeist wants fellow eco-fascists to “act on” Linkola’s call  for mass murder in order to solve overpopulation.

Linkola himself openly calls for violence to further the cause of  eco-fascism. “A minority can never have any other effective means to  influence the course of matters but through the use of violence,” he  writes.

While governments around the world continue to harass innocent  citizens and define peaceful political action as domestic terrorism,  people like Linkola, Pianka and others, along with their growing  legion of followers, are left alone despite their open call for  violence and genocide.

Given the fact that cult followers of these extremist fringe  environmentalists, people like Discovery Channel building gunman James Jay Lee, are now  starting to act out on their guru’s doctrines with violence, it’s high  time that radical global warming alarmists who are calling for mass  murder and fascism be investigated by the relevant authorities as  potential terrorists.

However, it’s a forlorn hope when one understands that Linkola’s  tyrannical and abhorrent belief system is merely an extension of the  eugenicist doctrines being promoted by some of the most powerful  people on the planet who, backed by an equally enthusiastic  establishment media, are now brazenly dispensing with tip-toe tyranny  and are openly calling for mass death and dictatorship under the guise  of stopping climate change.

The establishment points fingers all day long at all manner of  political groups to smear them as a threat, while monsters like  Linkola and Pianka who advocate the most dangerous and obscene ideas  imaginable are lauded and afforded respect by their peers and their  growing band of lunatic followers, who are all too eager to act out on  the barbarian “solutions” that are being encouraged in the name of  environmentalism.

Stonewall undermines campaign for gay marriage

Ben Summerskill suggests marriage equality would cost too much

London, UK – 21 September 2010

Ben Summerskill, the chief executive of Britain’s main gay lobby group, Stonewall, has reportedly defended his organisation’s refusal to campaign for marriage equality. He was speaking at the Liberal Democrat party conference LGBT fringe meeting on Monday night, 20 September.

Leading Lib Dems at the meeting – Stephen Gilbert MP, Evan Harris and equality minister, Lynne Featherstone MP – spoke out in favour of legalising same-sex marriage. Mr Summerskill did not. He explained why Stonewall was not campaigning on the issue.

According to a report on the Pink News website (copy below), he cited the cost of implementing marriage equality, which he claimed could total £5 billion – a figure that other campaigners question.

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2010/09/20/ben-summserskill-stonewall-opposed-to-gay-marriage-equality-because-it-will-cost-5-billion/

A recent online survey of LGBT readers by the Pink News website found that 98% want full marriage equality. Stonewall does not represent LGBT opinion on this issue. It is out of touch.

“Although Stonewall does a lot of valuable, important work, on this issue it is wrong,” said Peter Tatchell, human rights campaigner and spokesperson for the LGBT group OutRage!  

“It is, in effect, actively undermining the campaign for marriage equality.

“While many straight politicians now support same-sex civil marriage, Stonewall is refusing to campaign against the homophobic ban on gay and lesbian couples getting married. Among other reasons, it says equal marriage rights could cost £5 billion to implement.

“It is shocking to see a gay equality organisation declining to support equal rights legislation because it might cost too much. No other equality organisation makes equal human rights contingent on the cost. It is deplorable to insinuate that we can only have equality if it doesn’t cost too much.

“Where does Stonewall get this £5 billion figure from? If civil marriage and civil partnerships are the same, as Stonewall has always claimed, how could marriage equality cost more?

“Every other comparable LGBT organisation in the world is campaigning to end the ban on same-sex marriage, but not Stonewall. It is out of step with the British and global trend towards equal marriage rights,” said Mr Tatchell.

OutRage! has campaigned for marriage equality since 1992, when it launched the first UK challenge to the ban on same-sex marriage. Five lesbian and gay couples from OutRage! filed applications for gay marriage at Marylebone registry office in London on 19 March 1992. They were refused. But OutRage! has carried on the campaign ever since, and plans to file appeals against the ban to the European Court of Human Rights later this year.

Ben Summerskill: Stonewall not fighting for gay marriage equality because ‘it could cost  £5 billion’

PinkNews.co.uk · September 20, 2010

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2010/09/20/ben-summserskill-stonewall-opposed-to-gay-marriage-equality-because-it-will-cost-5-billion/

The chief executive of LGB lobby group Stonewall, Ben Summerskill, this evening told a fringe meeting at the Liberal Democrats party conference that the group is not actively campaigning for marriage equality because it would cost a staggering £5 billion to implement. The charity have been stonewalling questions on its exact position on marriage equality for some time.

Zoe O’Connell, who writes the Complicity blog, described the meeting: “Of all the bizarre places to come out against marriage equality, an event run in conjunction with DELGA, the Liberal Democrat LGBT organisation, would seem to be the most odd. But that’s just what Ben Summerskill, head of so-called ‘equality’ organisation Stonewall did today.”

All of the other speakers at the fringe event; Lynne Featherstone, the minister for equality; Evan Harris, president of Lib Dem LGBT group DELGA; and Stephen Gilbert, the Lib Dem MP who will tomorrow propose a motion in favour of marriage equality at conference, all said they support full LGBT marriage equality. Just Mr Summerskill spoke in opposition.

Last year, Mr Summerskill told PinkNews.co.uk “There are lots of lesbians who actually don’t want marriage”. But, last month, a survey for PinkNews.co.uk revealed that 98 per cent of the LGBT community favour full marriage equality. PinkNews.co.uk readers at the event report that Mr Summerskill claimed that it would be too expensive to introduce marriage equality because of increased pension payments to heterosexual couples who may theoretically wish to take up civil partnerships, if allowed. He claimed this would cost £5 billion.

After the debate, Mr Summerskill told a PinkNews.co.uk contributor who did not want
to be named that there was also the risk that straight, same sex, platonic friends might seek to have civil partnerships in order to make tax savings. Lib Dem MP Stephen Gilbert argued at the fringe meeting that marriage equality should not be subject to a cost/benefit analysis and claimed that if South Africa had adopted Stonewall’s approach, they would still have apartheid. Mr Summerskill reportedly labelled this view as offensive.

Mr Summerskill reportedly also offered the argument that there is a feminist view that the institute of marriage is fundamentally wrong. He also argued that for as long as people are being murdered in homophobic attacks, it is not the right time to campaign for marriage equality. Mr Gilbert responded saying that there is a need to send a clear message to those in society “that would try to discriminate that we are equal and we will not settle for any less than equality. As long as LGBT people are ‘othered’ in any way at all, attacks will continue.”

Mr Summerskill also accused PinkNews.co.uk of running an “unethical campaign” against Stonewall after it asked every LGBT rights organisation/ political group to outline their stance on marriage equality. Only Stonewall refused to answer.

Last Friday, Stonewall received an open letter signed by hundreds of people including two MEPs, two MPs and a number of human rights academics calling on them to clarify their position on marriage equality.

How to win friends and impress America

Josie  M. Jordison (guest writer)

There could be trouble brewing, here in California. Someone called Joao Vale de Almeida has taken it upon herself to lecture the USA and this state in particular about the use of the death penalty.

There are of course libertarians who oppose it on fundamental objectivist grounds. There are moreover those who say it is jurisprudentially allowable in circumstances where sovereign individuals have the right of lethal force against intruders and those who would harm them and theirs. In this scenario they can delegate their right to punish lethally, to an externalised agency.

This interference in our businesses here will not go down well.

The New Feudalism

Nothing much to do this morning, so I thought I’d cast around some other writers.

It says over at Mark Wadsworth that really we’re still all stuck in a sort of time-warp. The modern successors of the old feudal lords have still got us. Interesting take I suppose.  But for most people there’s little they can do about it. You are conditioned to grow up, get a job, go to work, get in hock to a bank and so on.

Macaulay on the Papacy

Quoted by Sean Gabb

http://catholicity.elcore.net/MacaulayOnRanke’sHistoryOfPopes.html

There is not, and there never was on this earth, a work of human policy so well deserving of examination as the Roman Catholic Church. The history of that Church joins together the two great ages of human civilisation. No other institution is left standing which carries the mind back to the times when the smoke of sacrifice rose from the Pantheon, and when camelopards and tigers bounded in the Flavian amphitheatre. The proudest royal houses are but of yesterday, when compared with the line of the Supreme Pontiffs. That line we trace back in an unbroken series, from the Pope who crowned Napoleon in the nineteenth century to the Pope who crowned Pepin in the eighth; and far beyond the time of Pepin the august dynasty extends, till it is lost in the twilight of fable. The republic of Venice came next in antiquity. But the republic of Venice was modern when compared with the Papacy; and the republic of Venice is gone, and the Papacy remains. The Papacy remains, not in decay, not a mere antique, but full of life and youthful vigour. The Catholic Church is still sending forth to the farthest ends of the world missionaries as zealous as those who landed in Kent with Augustin, and still confronting hostile kings with the same spirit with which she confronted Attila. The number of her children is greater than in any former age. Her acquisitions in the New World have more than compensated for what she has lost in the Old. Her spiritual ascendency extends over the vast countries which lie between the plains of the Missouri and Cape Horn, countries which a century hence, may not improbably contain a population as large as that which now inhabits Europe. The members of her communion are certainly not fewer than a hundred and fifty millions; and it will be difficult to show that all other Christian sects united amount to a hundred and twenty millions. Nor do we see any sign which indicates that the term of her long dominion is approaching. She saw the commencement of all the governments and of all the ecclesiastical establishments that now exist in the world; and we feel no assurance that she is not destined to see the end of them all. She was great and respected before the Saxon had set foot on Britain, before the Frank had passed the Rhine, when Grecian eloquence still flourished at Antioch, when idols were still worshipped in the temple of Mecca. And she may still exist in undiminished vigour when some traveller from New Zealand shall, in the midst of a vast solitude, take his stand on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul’s.

BBC News – ID card compensation ruled out as MPs approve abolition

 

Sean Gabb says: Anyone who expects this Government to roll back all the horrors of the Blair/Brown Junto will be disappointed. However, the total scrapping of Identity Cards – and of the National Identity Register – is to be welcomed.

 

As for the feral sheep who bought identity cards – they deserve a surcharge on their next passport renewal, not a rebate. Talk about holding up your arm for the tattooist’s needle!

Another Masterpiece by Richard Blake

Praise be! Praise be! If I had greater surety of His existence, I’d say praise be to God Almighty.

 

My friend Richard Blake – the critically-acclaimed and internationally best-selling novelist – tells me that The Churchill Memorandum is finished. Doubtless, anyone who thinks world history since about 1940 has been for the best will be aghast. The relatives of certain deceased persons of consequence will be outraged. But that’s all part of the fun.

 

Work must begin next week on the contractually-required Ghosts of Athens next week. For the moment, praise be!
