<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;"><br /></span></span>

Google for New World Order. The whole enterprise is crazy. And it's an absolute scam, which is going to cost you a great deal. It's rather like paying monkeys, because what happens is that civil servants draw up a list and if it's vote number 58 and the piece of paper says vote yes, you vote yes, and if it's number 59 and it says vote no, you vote no. It is an absolute farce, it's complete sham, masquerading as democracy. You should not be mistaken it is very... very, very strong forces are working towards this civil state.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">This is the village of Goudhurst. It has been said that if the Kent is the garden of England then Goudhurst is the garden of Kent. The english way of life has gone on here for centuries But is all that about to become a thing of a past? In 1996 chairman of the British Referendum Party Sir James Goldsmith circulated copies of a short film documentary to milions of households across the country, frustrated by the lack of mainstream press coverage over what he saw as dismantling of British sovereignty and independance by coluding politicians. Sir James's wake-up call to people of Great Britain was stark and shocked many.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">What's you are about to hear will both surprise and outrage you. It's the true story of Europe. It's the story the politians don't want you to hear, because it shows how they decieved us and betrayed our nation.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Only in 1994, the chancellor Kohl's foreign policy spokesmen speaking on behalf of the ruling party of Europe's dominant nation, Germany, clearly revealed the true plan. The plan is to create a federal european superstate. Into it will be merged up to 25 ancient european nations, including our own. This new country called Europe will have one parliament, one government, one court of justice, one currency, one flag and one anthem.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">That has been the plan all along. But those who favoured it knew that people of Europe would never accept it. They would never be willing to surrender their freedoms to become just a province in a vast european superstate. So what did the politicians do? They conspired to keep the truth from the people. So what is the truth behind the European Union? Is it as our politicians are keep telling us: Britains best hope for the future, the chance to regain some of that lost prestige on the world stage by being in the center of Europe?</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Today in Britain all three major political parties miraculously appear to agree at least on one thing. They believe in the destruction of Great Britain as an independent nation. They believe an integrated Europe makes sense. That it is the modern forward thinking way to go. That it would prevent any chance of the third european war. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">The Campaign for Truth in Europe Presents The Real Face of the European Union</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">The need to unite Europe could understandably devastation left behind after two catastrophic world wars. Of all the empires, it was perhaps the Nazis who came closest to pulling off the military conquest and occupation of Europe in recent times. In June 1940, Hermann Goering, reichs marshal of the german Luftwaffe, reveals final plans for Operation Sea Lion (Seelöwe), the german invasion of Great Britain. He also discusses with Hitler a new plan to unite Europe not just out on the conquering hammer of Blitzkrieg, but through a lasting political and economic union, which the Nazis named Europäische Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft - or the European Economic Community. In 1942, a conference was held in Berlin to discuss this political and economic integration of Europe. Of all the nations targeted, Britain has proved the wild card, because she alone has succesfully resisted invasion. Rising to his feet of the conference, Nazi economist professor Horst Jagd of Berlin University, firmly declares that Britain is the greatest obstacle to Germany fulfilling her historic aim of dominating Europe.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Winston Churchill also believed Britain had an incompatible destiny with out of the continent. Refering to the United Kingdom's reliance on her overseas trade, Churchill stated: "If Britain must choose between Europe and open sea, we will choose the sea." Both Churchill and Jagd were independently remarking on the same phenomenon, Napoleon had noticed 150 years before. That Great Britain was a global trading power and the nations of Europe weren't.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">According to the Nazis, Great Britain's awesome maritime capability was beggaring Europe, because it was drawing trade away from the continent. If Britain could be conquered militarily or economically, broken up once and for all as a significant economic and political entity, the spoils of all her trade and wealth would go to whoever ran the new european empire. Few in Berlin were in any doubt about who would do the running. But the tide of war turned against Germany. In 1944, a meeting was held in the Hotel Rotes Haus in Strasbourg between officials of the Nazi government and german industrialists. The theme of the meeting was: How will Germany dominate the peace, when she loses the war.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Following the end of WWII, the rebuilding of Europe and Germany in particular became a pressing necessity, and was largely funded under the Marshall plan by the United States. Both Washington and London saw the rapid stabilization of the continent after the war, as essential in order to prevent any incursion into Western Europe by the new enemy to be feared - the Soviet Union.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Winston Churchill agreed that some form of commonwealth of nations in Europe was desirable for establishing stability and the lasting peace. But he never envisioned Britain as being part of a new future: United States of Europe. Winston Churchill's view of Great Britain's relationship with Europe after the second world war is summarised by these words of his: "But we have our own dream and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked but not comprised. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed". The allied answer to military stability in Europe was to be the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation or NATO, which came into existance in 1949 as a permanent defense alliance for Europe. The European Union officially began life as the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951. A modest industrial corporation between France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and Holland. Six years later in 1957, the Treaty of Rome was signed by the six participating Coal and Steel Community nations, declaring its goal as "The ever closer union of the peoples of Europe". The Treaty of Rome went far beyond launching just a common market. It established a fledgling apparatus for an idealistic new superpower. This new entity was given an existing and unsettlingly familiar name: The European Economic Community.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">In 1963 Charles de Gaulle and Conrad Adenauer signed the Treaty of Elysée, signifing the symbolic burying of the hatchet between France and Germany. This was the start of a dynamic new dual leadership role in Europe for the two countries. De Gaulle later resigned and within a year was dead. Britain was invited to submit yet another application to join in the EEC. This time, Edward Heath, now as Britain's conservative prime minister, signed the Treaty of Rome and took Britain into the Common Market on New Year's Day 1973. Responding to the deep concerns within his own country, that joining the EEC would compromise Britain's national sovereignty and independance, Heath sought to reassure the British people and the government white paper. He wrote: "There is no question of Britain losing essential national sovereignty".</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">The master plan of course was well-known to Edward Heath, Lord Hailsham and their colleagues in Brussels. It was the eventual creation of a new european superstate out of 25 existing nations in Europe and Scandinavia, and Britain was going to be part of it.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">From 1973 onwards, the slow but consistent transfer of power from Westminster to Brussels through successive treaties our own politicians signed, became known as the acquis communautaire. It was nick-named "The Ratchet" For once powers had been given to Brussels by the member state. They could never be returned.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Initially, I thought like everybody else, that we had joined the common market, and what could be nicer and more friendly and sensible and economically wise to do. But since the then, in 1975, when we had the vote to remain in that, so we were told, it's become one or two things further than just a common market. It then became, few years later, a European Economic Community, then European Community, It's now the European Union with all sorts of controls and restrictions, regulations. and we are fast approaching via this new constitution, something the French have already named potentially United States of Europe. And I'm not at all sure, that's what I and many others voted to join back in 1975.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">In 75 we signed that for sort of trade agreement. And we've let - it's the people, who have let the government, successive governments, vote away our democratic rights. This government has no right to sign us up to the constitution without the will of the people. But we need the will of the people to stop it. It's no use coming down in 5 years time, we signed up to it. We can't get out of it and the people say we don't want it. It's up to the people today to say NO.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">This is the Strasbourg Parliament. It was built in 1999 at a cost of 300 million pounds. It is open for only 4 days every month. What happens at the end of that four days is we load our offices into tin boxes and then lorries arrive downstairs and drive the whole lot nearly 300 miles up to Brussels where the boxes are unpacked for the next 3 weeks when we suppose to be there and it all brought back again. This whole process of shifting, the administration of the stuff from one home to another is costing european taxpayer over 100 million Euros a year.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">It is the biggest scam in human history. We are not talking about billions of pounds, we are talking about trillions of pounds. Why our country, which has been independent for nine hundred or more years, would ever wish to involve itself in such political chicanery and nonsense as something which defies anyone who is sane. And only now we got just about fourteen or fifteen months before they rivet on us a pan-european constitution, which would be superior to our own splendid constitution, one, which is the pride of the world and pioneered the way for sensible living. And here we are giving it all away.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">The political aim is to develop a framework for a real European Union constitution and in my opinion this means building up European federal state.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">In black and white, the draft constitution would and confirms Brussels will exercise competence and primacy of member states' own laws. For the British, this will mean being stripped of any remaining independence. Losing control over our foreign policy and armed forces. The handing over of our legal system and law enforcement in the European Union. The scrapping of the Pound Sterling to be replaced by the Euro. The handing over of our remaining currency and gold reserves to the European Central Bank. And the total regulation of British domestic and international trade by the European Union.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Coincidentally, or otherwise, the European goal of dominating Britain, unfinished business going back centuries will have been accomplished.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Most already noticed, that the job of running Britain is increasingly been carried out in Brussels not by British politicians, but by unaccountable foreign committees most in this country have never even heard of, let alone voted into power. These unelected inscrutable forums dictate what citizens across the Eurozone can and can't do down to the last detail. Henceforth, Britain is to be ruled from the New Europe by the New Europe and for the benefit of the New Europe.

And there is an awful lot of it. We have recently celebrated, if that is the right word, our 40000th directive from Brussels. And having attacked central government, now Brussels is attacking our local government structure. So, we have lost just to recap, in the following areas, we have lost 100% of our control over the Environment, the British scenery and countryside, everything that comprises environment, including health and safety regulations, absolutely everything.

And to vote often and to vote regularly. Sometimes we vote up to 450 times in the space of 80 minutes. Now I have to confess, hands up, I don't know what's going on half the time. I haven't even read all the documents, so massive are they. Now it could be, that my fellow-MEPs down there are all Albert Einsteins and all absolutely understand what's going on. But I suspect that's not the case. In fact, it's rather like paying monkeys, because what happens is, that civil servants draw up the list and if it's vote number 58 and the piece of paper says vote yes, you vote yes, and if it's number 59 and it says vote no, you vote no.

So what we're about to do now, is with our assistants we've got a massive amount of reading and work behind the scenes, they are effectively going to tell us, what to do. Look at that, this is a classic example of EU voting. There we have 40 individual, different amendments, that we're expected to vote for on block.

Corpus Juris is designed completely and permanently to overhaul the British justice system. And will include the following: The scrapping of trial by jury. Henceforth, you will face a state-appointed judge, who pronounce you guilty or not-guilty. The scrapping of habeas corpus. You are liable to summary arrest without charge. Under corpus juris, you can be detained without charge or any evidence being presented against you for up to 9 months. The scrapping of innocent until proven guilty. Henceforth, a citizen must prove his innocence against the combined machinery of the state. The scrapping of double jeopardy or not being tried for the same offence twice. Under EU-sanction, Jack Straw, while Home Secretary, gave prosecutors leave to appeal not-guilty verdicts, if desired. Technically, this could be done repeatedly, until the required conviction is secured. The scrapping of non-disclosure. Henceforth, under corpus juris, any previous convictions you have will be made available to the court before your trial begins.

Everybody talks about reforming fraud within the European Union, I think this whole system is so rotten, that is now unreformable.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><i style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">"It means that you will be ruled for the first time by people you cannot sack.

The new European Army so enthusiastically pushed by France and Germany, in effect threatens NATO, the organisation that has kept peace in Europe for the past 50 years.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">They can use our armed forces, the current forces, the army, the navy and the air force in the European Rapid reaction force.

Joining it will be irreversible according to Hans Tietmayer, former president of the German Bundesbank. Monetary union is a path of no-return these days, no subsequent revision or withdrawal of any kind is either legally or politically provided for. Britain's economy traditionally tracks that of the United States because of our heavy trading on the dollar. So what would be the effect of joining the Euro and tying Britain's economy to this one-size-fits-all arrangement with the other nations of the EU?</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">Brussels wanted to know too, which is why in October 1990, Britain joined something called European Exchange Rate Mechanism, a dress rehearsal for the Euro and monetary union, which effectively locked the British pound into other EU currencies. 23 months of chaos followed. British business suffered its worst recession in 60 years. 100 thousand UK businesses went to the wall. Unemployment doubled from 1.5 to 3 million. More bankruptcies were filed than in any previous 2 year period ever. Repossessions of property increased 7 fold. By 1993, over half a million of us were at least 3 months of arrears on our mortgages. Britain lost estimated reserves of 68 billion sterling.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><i style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">"And as someone once put it: You may be very friendly with you neighbours, but would you actually hand-over complete control of bank account to your friendly neighbours?

We're told that business needs it and we're told above all that it's good for jobs. Well, how is it working out 3 years down the road? Well, in Germany, just 2 miles across the border, there are now 4.6 million people unemployed. They are experiencing exactly what we experienced during ERM back in the early 1990s. They cannot set their own interest rates, to set their own economy. And the great risk of joining the Euro is that you can finish out, totally out of sync with the rest of the European economy, and there's nothing that your democratically elected government can do to alter it.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">There exists on the continent a massive unfunded pension debt. Run up by German, French and Italian politicians and has been estimated at 1300 billion pounds. And that would be something which we, the British people will be expected to contribute. But how could Britain ever free herself from the European Union through military action, if all her armed forces will be under EU command? And in the unlikely event she did regained her independence, how could Britain relaunch her own currency, if she had handed all her gold and currency reserves over to the European Central Bank?</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><i style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">"In a question that you can ask our ministers is: How is it, they have sworn oaths of office.

I have to tell you that I was one of 22 Members of the House out of 626 that voted for those countries not to join. I did so not just because it would save the British taxpayer a great deal of money if they didn't join. I did it for their sakes because most of these countries have just left a system of centralised, undemocratic communist government based on Soviet Russia. I fear they're about to reenter a very similar system. But I'll say this to you: Not everything about this European project is bad news, because the really good news is, that there is something we can do about it. If we want to, all we need is political will, a British Parliament at any moment in time can vote for us to have an amicable divorce from this corrupt club. We can then re-negotiate a genuine free trade agreement which is what we thought we signed up to in the first place. And even over here, even here commissioners like Kinnock and Patten and luminaries such as Giscard D' Estaing say, that if Britain doesn't want to be part of this full political union, which are they attempting, we can if we want get out of it and re-negotiate a free trade deal. We don't need to be in the EU to trade with the EU, that idea is anachronistic and dates back to the 1950s and 60s. So it really is up to us. But we have to do something about it. We have to vote for people who will not allow this continual surrender of our sovereignty to continue.</span><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><br style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;" /><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.503999710083008px;">If we don't do something about it in the next couple of years, it's goodbye democracy and everything which we fought for for centuries.

Both organisations are entirely and exclusively devoted to the protection of free speech. Apart from that, we have no political or religious agenda.<br /><br />Every member of our organisation is perfectly welcome to say anything he likes and to argue any point he wants to make as long as he does not say or do anything in contravention of free speech. But as an organisation we stick to one issue only: the defence of free speech where ever and by whom ever it is threatened.<br /><br />So I am not here to heap praise on your party, Die Freiheit, or on your political programme.<br /><br />I wish you well as I would wish any democratic and freedom-loving (freiheitlich) political party well – in Germany, in Denmark, all over the world.<br /><br />It may well be argued – and I am prepared to accept this argument – that the struggle for freedom of expression is a political struggle. No doubt the most important political struggle of our time. But once we have agreed on this point, we in The Free Press Society welcome anyone in our midst.<br /><br />Whether people are socialists, liberals, conservatives, for or against the war in Afghanistan, for or against the European Union, higher or lower taxes, immigration or whatever is of no concern to us.<br /><br />We have among our members people of many political and religious persuasions – Social Democrats, liberals and conservatives, adherents and opponents of the welfare state etc. We have Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims and atheists. We get along famously because we have one thing in common: freedom of expression.<br /><br />Freedom of expression is the absolute prerequisite for any other freedom. Without it there can be no democracy, no personal liberty, no rule of law, no equality before the law, no equality between the sexes. In fact no social or scientific progress.<br /><br />Unfortunately, a growing number of people in our Western societies – and particularly in our governments, in our universities, in the press and among church leaders – think that free speech has become a burden. That it is an affront to the sort of decent and well behaved society they prefer. They think that free speech exists and is encoded in our free and democratic constitutions in order that people may say nice things to each other. In particular, people are not supposed to criticise so-called ethnic minorities, by which they invariably mean Muslim minorities.<br /><br />According to our ruling elites, any criticism of Islam or of unfettered immigration or of the growing trend in our Western countries towards parallel societies should be seen as racism.<br /><br />Not only are dissidents called every name in the book and evicted from polite company. Their careers are ruined. They are fired from their jobs. They receive threats. They are beaten up and sometimes killed.<br /><br />Anyone who thinks that political murders belong in our fascist or communist past should ponder the fate of the two brave Dutchmen Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh, who were cut down by political fanatics.<br /><br />And they should remember what recently happened to the Danish artist Kurt Westergaard and his Swedish colleague Lars Vilks. Fortunately they are still alive but only because they are protected by the security police.<br /><br />And what crime have Kurt Westergaard and Lars Vilks committed? They have drawn some pictures!<br /><br />Think about that! What do you think would have happened if forty years ago, some daring soul had suggested that Islam’s implantation in the West would result in this state of affairs? He would have been ridiculed. People would have said that he was ready for the insane asylum. And if he was a politician, his career would have been cut short. That was precisely what happened to the British Conservative parliamentarian Enoch Powell when he had warned against the consequences of mass immigration.<br /><br />And today – as it is becoming clear for all to see unless they shut their eyes – that orthodox Islam is incompatible with free speech, new methods are being employed in order to shut up anyone who will not toe the line.<br /><br />We have come to a point where the upholders of the official state ideology of multiculturalism and cultural and moral relativism can no longer defend their position in free and open discourse. They have run out of rational arguments as more and more Germans, Dutchmen, Danes, Britons, Italians etc. realise that all cultures are not equal and that some religions and political ideologies are better than others.<br /><br />So they mobilise the judicial system in order to indict and punish dissidents for what they call “hate speech”.<br /><br />That is why we have seen criminal trials like the ones against my friends Geert Wilders in Holland and Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff in Austria and myself in Denmark.<br /><br />Geert, Elisabeth and I haven’t threatened anyone. We have not incited violence against anyone. We are neither anti-Semites nor racists.<br /><br />We have simply insisted on our right to criticise a totalitarian ideology that threatens to obliterate everything that Europe and the West have achieved over the past 350 years.<br /><br />Let me remind you that free speech is not an institution intended to ensure that people speak nicely. Quite the contrary. Freedom of expression exists in order to protect those who make statements that people abhor. Statements that are shocking, outrageous, unheard of and – yes – plain blasphemous.<br /><br />Whenever I get the chance, I take the liberty of slightly rephrasing something that the incomparable English author George Orwell once remarked: Free speech is the right to tell people what they don’t want to hear!<br /><br />If you are looking for an easy-to-remember definition of freedom of expression, there you have it!<br /><br />Anyone who takes the trouble to study the history of Western societies, will notice that any new thought, any novel scientific hypothesis or insight, any new idea that has brought our Western civilisation forward has invariably been condemned as outrageous, evil, contrary to common sense and moral decency if not outright blasphemous.<br /><br />Scientific progress and advancement in human understanding cannot take place outside a climate of free speech. This means that people must have an unlimited right to advance any crazy idea they please. They must be permitted to offend, ridicule and blaspheme.<br /><br />It is characteristic of every known totalitarian system – in the modern world primarily varieties of Fascism, Communism and Islam – that it will not permit people to make mistakes or deviate from a truth they consider god-given.<br /><br />The pioneers of the European Scientific Revolution did not evade their share of persecution. In 1616 – 73 years after his death – the Catholic church condemned Copernicus’ heliocentric world picture as heretical. In 1633 the church basically crushed Mediterranean science by forcing Galileo to retract his contention that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Not that it made any difference in the real world – except that the Catholic Church drove serious science out of Italy and the Mediterranean lands and thereby handed the scientific and soon after the economic, political and philosophical lead to countries in Northern and Western Europe.<br /><br />What distinguishes Europe – and later European societies across the seas – from the Islamic World is the fact that religious orthodoxy and religious stupidity could not survive the onslaught of free thought and free expression.<br /><br />Let me emphasize that this entire development could not have taken place without critics who insisted on their right to free speech and more precisely without the hard-won freedom to criticize religion, including the right to express opinions that someone would find blasphemous. Let us recall that every major step of social progress – the abolition of royal absolutism and the prerogatives of the nobility and the religious hierarchy, the freeing of the peasants, voting rights for workers, equality for women, the abolition of slavery and apartheid, prohibition against beating servants and children etc. – has invariably been opposed by reactionaries and holy men as offensive to the god-given order. So there is no progress in human society without a relentless struggle against the very concept of blasphemy.<br /><br />A few days ago, at a church gathering – the so-called Kirchentag – in Dresden, German President Christian Wulff repeated his earlier statement that Islam is a part of Germany and others at the conference said that more should be done to make Muslims feel welcome in Germany.<br /><br />President Wulff might have enlightened his Christian audience that if Islam is to be a part of Germany, freedom of expression cannot be a part of it. If a political ideology such as Islam, according to which any criticism of the prophet or the Koran is punishable by death, is to be a part of Germany, then obviously free speech will have no place this brave new land.<br /><br />Your President might have said that Muslims can become a part of Germany to the extent that they distance themselves from the insane political ideology that has crippled every society where it has taken hold over the past 1400 years.<br /><br />But that was not what he said.<br /><br />I am not mentioning President Wulff’s statement in order to single out your President or Germany for blame. I mention it because I am sure that you have all noticed what President Wullf said and wondered what it might mean.<br /><br />We hear the same sentiment repeated by governments and political and church leaders all over the Western world: We have to make room for Islam in Europe, they say. Islam is an enrichment of our culture.<br /><br />Strangely enough we never hear Muslim leaders either in the West or in the Islamic countries say that more should be done to make Christians, Jews and people of other faiths or without religious faith feel more welcome in the Muslim world.<br /><br />We never hear governments or religious or political leaders in the Dar al-Islam (The House of Islam) demand that non-Muslims should have the right to assemble without fear, that they should have the right to build churches or synagogues. That they should be permitted to freely express their religious beliefs in public without fear of physical attacks or discrimination. In other words, that they should enjoy freedom of religion and freedom of speech.<br /><br />Instead we hear of endless and very often vicious and violent persecution of non-Muslims all over the Islamic world. In Algeria, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan. From Indonesia in the East to Nigeria in the West.<br /><br />Soon the last Christians of Iraq will have been driven out. That is after our troops have liberated the country. Some liberation! In Egypt – which is supposed to have carried out a democratic revolution – the 8-10 per cent of the population that still clings to Egypt’s old Christian religion are still being killed, Christian girls are still being kidnapped, forcibly converted to Islam and married off to Muslim men, and their families never see them again.<br /><br />I think that your President and other Western leaders ought to have pondered this before making statements intended to give their citizens a bad conscience because by and large, Muslims are poorly integrated in Western societies.<br /><br />We live at a time when free speech is under the heaviest attack we have experienced since the Nazis tried to impose their absolutist rule two generations ago.<br /><br />At a time when we should be exchanging views and information about the real threats to our civilization and whole way of life, Western countries and international organizations are busy trying to shut down free discourse. Hate speech and blasphemy laws are being brushed off or reintroduced as a means to regulate and discipline what may be said.<br /><br />It seems to me that what is politically correct ought be determined by the electorate when it has had the opportunity to listen to all arguments and every relevant piece of information.<br /><br />But we are going about it the other way around. First our governments tell us what is politically correct and then they decide what may be said without fear of ostracism or criminal prosecution.<br /><br />It is about time that we return to the roots of our Judeo-Christian civilization and to the founding fathers of free speech.<br /><br />Let me quote from a pamphlet published by the Englishman John Milton in 1644. The language may be a bit dated, but the ideas are as fresh and relevant as when they were first penned:<br /><br />“ Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making.”<br /><br />“Let Truth and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse in a free and open encounter?”<br /><br />“[Truth] needs no policies, nor stratagems, nor licensings to make her victorious.”<br /><br />Milton goes on:<br /><br />“If we think to regulate printing, thereby to rectify manners, we must regulate all recreations and pastimes, all that is delightful to man. No music must be heard, no song be set or sung, but what is grave and Doric. There must be licensing of dancers, that no gesture, motion, or deportment be taught our youth, but what by their allowance shall be thought honest.”<br /><br />That was John Milton in 1644 at the time of the English Revolution.<br /><br />How ironic, how sad, how despicable that 367 years later, we should again be discussing the need to license opinions, to regulate and rectify manners and indeed to place upon ourselves “this iron yoke of outward conformity” – to quote John Milton once again.<br /><br />For that is precisely what we do when we introduce laws on hate speech and blasphemy, when the state outlaws certain opinions and put people in jail for voicing them.<br /><br />Where does all this end? As Milton pointed out, there is no end to it.<br /><br />Next they will be regulating the internet, they will be scouring e-mails for wrong opinions.<br /><br />They will invade the private sphere and listen in to what people say in their homes or places of work.<br /><br />For make no mistake. If you regulate what may be said in public, you’ will simply drive the frank exchange of opinions underground. So the logical outcome will be a police state with millions of snooping stasi informers.<br /><br />We have already seen such cases in Europe.<br /><br />It is high time that we the people put a stop to this. A society that regulates speech is a society that is unable to solve its problems – let alone identify them.<br /><br />And such a society is doomed.<br /><br />This is not the kind of world we want to leave to our children and grandchildren.<br /><br />We must do away with speech rules and political correctness.<br /><br />We must repeal all hate speech and blasphemy laws.<br /><br />We in the <a href="http://www.internationalfreepresssociety.org/">International Free Press Society</a> will commit all our efforts and resources to achieving this objective.Tarn Lasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08087884948664444931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628209817430981317.post-58369508708149028082011-06-12T18:38:00.003+01:002011-06-12T18:57:40.202+01:00The Unity Candidate<img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 340px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 211px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617393947955969634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVcrVLBEIrc97-_a-WvIVTaj0KI0OqoBfJu9HXXLrl3ZO8ThA4L56P4RTdJBmoSffuGBOreAvkQA64qoIZJ69XgYRCs6xAJjglmbPuCamZyogEA4vSpdqAz2KKFuL_P3gmatrj8ZQcbVHZ/s400/Andrew+post.bmp" />British National Party Member of the European Parliament Andrew Brons has released a campaign video in which he has outlined the platform upon which he will run his leadership election campaign.<br /><br />Mr Brons said his most important aim in standing in the leadership election was to be a “unity candidate” to bring the large number of members who have dropped out over the past few years, back into activism.<br /><br />“I believe that if we can win back those selfless activists, then we can get back to the success which we had a few years ago, ” Mr Brons said.<br /><br />* The video also includes a short message of support from Richard Edmonds.<br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><a href="http://bnpideas.com/?p=273">Click Here To See Andrew's Video & Read The Rest Of His New Website.</a></div>Tarn Lasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08087884948664444931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628209817430981317.post-6721808463879799762011-06-10T15:27:00.002+01:002011-06-10T16:00:45.972+01:00Andrew Brons MEP to Stand in BNP Leadership Contest<img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 232px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616598039133611730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixigpIsZhdBXK0wgfkEbVRF4EsjPyu0FbxrJSaDP5H-iC0z5M7OnIpBwWizqLYXdw_acd7o5XMC3beYhIbZm8UzWthjVYTHa_CM62wEq_aiDU0zkRkYTYDhH7plXwbMAQldcBU7HuNuHNu/s400/andrew+leadership.jpg" />Andrew Brons, Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and Humberside, has declared his candidacy for the upcoming leadership election to be held in the British National Party.<br />Mr Brons’s candidacy will replace and take over the campaign started by Richard Edmonds, with his full support and encouragement.<br /><br />“This challenge is not an ideological battle, nor is it personal,” Mr Brons said.<br /><br />“It is primarily concerned with rectifying the party’s internal organisation and ways of handling differences of opinion,” said Mr Brons.<br /><br />“Our campaign will be based five core principles,” Mr Brons said.<br /><br />“Firstly, we want to save the party from a haemorrhaging of members, especially activists.<br /><br />“Secondly we must face up to and deal with the financial mismanagement which has afflicted our party.

There are other more subtle and gradual means by which an ethnic group can, by a mixture cajoling and encouragement, be made to shift, inch by inch towards the precipice beyond the rim of which lies their destruction.<br /><br />Although all genocide is evil, genocide by stealth, albeit less bloody in the immediate sense, requires true malevolence to carry it off. For it is a crime not committed in hot blood but in cold, and it is committed over a protracted period which may take many decades to complete. Also, unlike most other genocides, the perpetrators of genocide by stealth, clearly do not consider their victims to be a threat to them, neither do they have cause for any personal desire for revenge, which might explain, if not excuse what they do. It is genocide committed merely for the sake of an agenda.<br /><br />As such, these perpetrators are perhaps even more heinous of other such monsters. They have no redeeming features, no excuse for what they do. They were not caught up in a crazy moment of history, they have no bereavements unhealed wounds or historical grievances to avenge. They have had all the time in the world to contemplate what they are doing without being driven by any emotional trigger or sense of unbearable loss and pain. They are without compassion without morals and without redemption<br /><br />They have lived their whole lives amongst their intended victims and have benefited greatly from doing so. They are children of the same culture yet they have complete contempt for it and have spent their adulthood working for its destruction.<br /><br />Some of them take the roles of propagandists and create new fake worlds of lies designed to misrepresent and undermine the civilisation they hate, that is to say, our civilisation. They are the journalists, the movie makers, the commentators and general effluent better known as the media. A new book by a young writer called Benjamin Shapiro entitled<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Primetime-Propaganda-True-Hollywood-Story/dp/0061934771"> Primetime Propaganda The true Hollywood story of how the Left took over your TV</a> exposes the degree of misrepresentation which goes on in America. (yes the writer is Jewish I know that matters to some of you – but this young man appears to be on our side, and we would be fools to allow his religion to blind us to the truth he has exposed.)<br /><br />For instance in this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tLc16_xXlM">telephone interview</a> with John Langley the creator of the US TV show “Cops” which claims to portray street crime in America, Langley freely admits he deliberately over represents white crime levels and under represents that committed by “people of colour” by approximately 100% in each direction.<br />I have written a number of articles on the subject myself and I recommend Ben Shapiro's book.<br /><br />It would be interesting to read a similar expose in Britain, can anyone doubt for instance that the BBC struggle to balance the ethnic make up of the crimes they portray on <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/crimewatch/">Crimewatch</a> or how selective they have to be to ensure that there are at least 50% white villains amongst the "wanted faces" reported on by their BBC approved mixed race policeman come D list, and occasionally <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=rav+wilding&hl=en&biw=1422&bih=680&site=webhp&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=zW3uTfWbB4uYhQf1zpCqCQ&sqi=2&ved=0CDAQsAQ">half nude</a>, celebrity <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rav_Wilding">Rav Wilding.</a><br /><br />However, the media are merely the spin doctors, they have a lot of influence but to do real damage you need real power, and over the last half century we have consistently granted power to politicians who are committed to the destruction of our society, and us along with it.<br /><br />Throughout the western world, we have voted for men and women who actively hate us and who will stop and nothing to inflict as much harm as they can upon us. The American public have not yet realised quite how malevolent the man currently occupying the White House and his administration are, however, we in Britain were, this time well ahead of them in electing our own political assassins.<br /><br />Amongst the most evil of those politicians elected to power in Britain were those who made up the New Labour party who we voted into power in 1997, and kept there for thirteen long years. It is gradually becoming clear that in those thirteen years New Labour did more deliberate damage to our nation, and to our people than any enemy we have ever faced before.<br /><br />This brings me to the point of this item, in a <a href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-is-this-not-treason.html">superb article</a> published on the Gates of Vienna blog last month writer Paul Weston shone a light on the level of treachery the New Labour party under was guilty of.

"How awful it must be to live under such a regime" we were told, not free to travel about, meet up with friends.<br /><br />Trillions were spent on Defence systems to make sure the evil Reds could never inflict their restrictive authoritarian systems on us, the Free, in the West.<br /><br />I wonder why we bothered. I just got a <a href="http://www.west-midlands.police.uk/latest-news/press-release.asp?id=2233">press release </a>from West Midlands Police stating that between Friday 27 May to Thursday 27 October 2011, they will enforce an order allowing the dispersal of two or more people if their behaviour is deemed "anti Social".<br /><br />Freedom of movement and Association have consistently been abused by our beloved "Police Service". From ASBOS banning people from walking the streets of their own town, to super injunctions shutting the mouths of the masses, we are where the Soviets were.<br /><br />Hyperbole? I think not. Just because the masses ignore it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Government for the Elite, by the Elite.

His wife assumed they were being polite. But, under sinister new guidelines, officers must assess all children they encounter – including while ‘searching premises’ – for a police database called MERLIN.<br /><br />This, in turn, feeds into a giant new Whitehall database on Britain’s children, Contact Point, which goes live nationally in January.<br /><br />The Tories have vowed to scrap it, arguing that it threatens family privacy and children’s safety. But civil liberties campaigners say we must resist it now, before it is too late.<br /><br />Since April 1, hundreds of thousands of State employees, from police to teachers, youth and nursery workers, social workers and sports coaches, have been entitled to interrogate children aged up to 19, using the ‘Common Assessment Framework’ (CAF), a creepy, eight-page, 60-section questionnaire.<br /><br />CAF includes eyewateringly intimate questions about children’s sexual behaviour, their family’s structure, culture and religion, their views on ‘discrimination’, their friends, secret fears, feelings and family income, plus ‘any serious difficulties in their parents’ relationship’.<br /><br />How has such a terrifying intrusion into private life crept, almost unnoticed, under the radar? The answer is New Labour has cleverly packaged CAF as an aid to ‘child protection’ and delivering better services as part of its Every Child Matters project (ECM).<br /><br />The £224million programme has been beset by delays, incomprehensible acronyms and New Labour gobbledegook. But let us not be deceived – it is about control, not care, and spying, not safety.<br /><br />ECM claims that nearly half of Britain’s 11million children have ‘additional needs’, so must continuously be assessed for the giant database at the Government’s Department for Schools and Families.<br /><br />CAF questionnaires will be kept until they are 19, or for 75 years if they have been in care, and can be accessed electronically by hundreds of thousands of staff in other agencies.<br /><br />Contact Point will also store information from databases kept by the NHS, GPs, schools, the Child Benefit Agency and the National Pupil Register. The potential for sensitive material about our children falling into malevolent hands is enormous.<br /><br />Incredibly, parental consent is not often required for this intrusion into children’s lives. Youngsters from the age of 12 are deemed mature enough to agree to being CAF-ed – whatever their parents’ objections. But campaigners stress that families should teach their children to say No: submitting to CAF is, currently at least, voluntary. The Government claims that the database will identify children at risk of poverty, abuse or future criminality. But since when did filling in endless forms release funds for frontline services, rather than divert them?<br /><br />By bizarre coincidence – or not – this assault on treasured British notions of privacy and propriety was devised by the woman responsible for Britain’s most notorious social-work scandal. ECM was launched in September 2003 by Margaret Hodge, Tony Blair’s shocking choice as Britain’s first Children’s Minister.<br /><br />Her main ‘qualification’ was being his pal and running Islington Council when its 12 children’s homes were awash with paedophiles and sympathisers of the ‘Left-wing’ Paedophile Information Exchange. This campaigned for sex to be legalised with children from the age of four.<br /><br />One can only wonder how many Pervy Petes within childcare today will relish being actively invited to ask children about their sexual behaviour (CAF seemingly views this as normal), the ‘sleeping arrangements’ at home and how they feel about ‘changes to their body’.<br /><br />I have been exposing child-abuse scandals for nearly 20 years and believe that this new Stalinist bureaucracy will not save a single child. Many of the paedophiles I exposed in Hodge’s homes ‘groomed’ children for eventual abuse through precisely such questions. Hodge claimed that constant State monitoring of children was justified by the Victoria Climbie scandal.<br /><br />Yet adequate powers to protect genuinely endangered children already exist. Why, then, did the appalling mothers of Shannon Matthews and Baby P retain their children? The problem was not lack of paperwork but too many stupid, politically correct people reading it and failing to act.<br /><br />CAF will not mean that the State now swoops on the demonic families in flea-infested homes with rottweilers and broken-backed babies. No, just as with the Government’s fearless war on pensioner recycling ‘louts’, they will instead target and terrorise ordinary, decent families.<br /><br />Why? One reason is simply to control people. Many of today’s New Labour MPs are ex-Marxists and radical feminists who still believe that the family poses the greatest potential opposition to the strong State.<br /><br />The Government’s decreed desirable ‘outcomes’ for children are so frighteningly broad that many decent parents could find themselves labelled failures or abusers.<br /><br />Everyone involved with children – including volunteers, and police on raids – is now expected to use the Government’s ‘Pre-Assessment Checklist’, to see if they are achieving these five ‘outcomes’ – being healthy, staying safe, enjoying life, making a ‘positive contribution’ and achieving ‘economic well-being’.<br /><br />Even parents working desperately hard to feed their children and keep them safe could be classified as failing them. The questionnaire asks if children’s parents are ‘over-protective’, and whether work leaves them ‘too tired to pay attention to your needs’. CAF practitioners are also taught specifically to ask if parents ‘promote a healthy lifestyle’ and oppose ‘bullying and discrimination’.<br /><br />An increasingly rigid State already rejects potentially loving foster and adoptive carers who smoke or have politically ‘incorrect’ views because they are Christian.<br /><br />How long until natural parents are also found guilty of thought crime?<br /><br />Might Damian Green have been considered guilty of encouraging discrimination, through challenging the Government on immigration?<br /><br />The worst thing is that Every Child Matters has made real protection work harder – the highly effective Child Protection Register was abolished in April and social workers are now drowning in paperwork about entirely innocent families.<br /><br />A suppressed University of York study found it took them a day to enter data electronically on just one child.<br /><br />Terri Dowty, director of Action on Rights for Children, says: ‘People should fill in CAF questionnaires only if they have a real, defined need – for example, a disabled child and they need equipment – and then answer only strictly relevant questions. Otherwise, parents should teach their children that if they are asked at school to fill in these forms to say that they want first to go home and discuss it.’<br /><br />Dowty fears that the new State questionnaire is ‘designed to teach children to accept being interrogated and classified from the earliest age, by anyone and everyone. It is truly frightening’. No one, supposedly, can be forced to fill in a CAF. But practitioners are advised to report the family to the local safeguarding children team ‘if a common assessment is refused and you are concerned’. They may also store the CAF centrally even when permission is refused.<br /><br />Campaigners are considering challenging CAF in the European Court of Human Rights, which has thrown out Britain’s attempts to store innocent citizens’ DNA. But they desperately need benefactors and lawyers prepared to fund test cases and support innocent families under pressure.<br /><br />Tragically, Britain, the cradle of parliamentary democracy, is becoming notorious worldwide for snooping on its citizens. Professor Nigel Parton, NSPCC Professor of Childhood Studies at Huddersfield University, warned a recent international conference in Finland that the Every Child Matters agenda means what we are witnessing is the emergence of the ‘preventive-surveillance state’, with ‘major implications for the civil liberties and human rights of the citizen, particularly for children and parents’.<br /><br />Once, people who warned of a growing police state seemed paranoid. The Damian Green raid was a wake-up call. Let us now protect our children, our and our country’s future, with all our might.<br /><br /><a href="http://statismwatch.ca/2008/12/07/has-your-child-been-cafed-how-the-government-plans-to-record-intimate-information-on-every-child-in-britain/">From Here</a>Tarn Lasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08087884948664444931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628209817430981317.post-8083570735490172792011-05-21T12:51:00.002+01:002011-05-21T12:56:43.317+01:00Regime Change at the IMF: The Frame-Up of Dominique Strauss-Kahn?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0sLQPt-IXKPmrzo369147Qrjbz61EJVEMUkrhTmeEkpfOQcMDjHXNSlUB18oaSMD9rmdHHIyi6QbP6vJdtpHqdU8wAhFIoGkTbR5ONHESDsOlGeVicq4y8__RfrjTnJEZge7MwoaYWNa6/s1600/imf+strauss.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 230px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609136966209288802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0sLQPt-IXKPmrzo369147Qrjbz61EJVEMUkrhTmeEkpfOQcMDjHXNSlUB18oaSMD9rmdHHIyi6QbP6vJdtpHqdU8wAhFIoGkTbR5ONHESDsOlGeVicq4y8__RfrjTnJEZge7MwoaYWNa6/s400/imf+strauss.jpg" /></a>The arrest of IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has all the appearances of a frame-up ordered by powerful members of the financial establishment, in liaison with France's Nicolas Sarkozy, whose presidency has served the interests of the US at the expense of those of France and the European Union. While there is for the moment no proof of a plot, the unusual circumstances of his arrest and imprisonment require careful examination.<br /><br />Immediately following Strauss Kahn's arrest, pressures were exerted by Washington to speed up his replacement as Managing Director of the IMF preferably by a non-European, an American or a handpicked candidate from an "emerging market economy" or a developing country.<br /><br />Since the founding of the Bretton Woods institutions in 1945, the World Bank has been headed by an American whereas the IMF has been under the helm of a (Western) European.<br /><br />Strauss-Kahn is a member of elite groups who meet behind closed doors. He belongs to the Bildeberger. Categorized as one of the world's most influential persons, he is an academic and politician rather than a banker. In contrast to his predecessors at the IMF, he has no direct affiliation to a banking or financial institution.<br /><br />But at the same time he is the fall guy. His "gaffe" was to confront the Washington-Wall Street Consensus and push for reforms within the IMF, which challenged America's overriding role within the organization.<br /><br />The demise of Strauss-Kahn potentially serves to strengthen the hegemony of the US and its control over the IMF at the expense of what former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called "Old Europe".<br /><br />Very interesting article .... <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=24866">Read it here.</a>Tarn Lasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08087884948664444931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628209817430981317.post-7355950461955380682011-05-18T13:21:00.002+01:002011-05-18T13:25:03.659+01:00Kenneth Clarke questions whether date rape is really ‘rape'<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMlq_4_L1-iu6PRYV1TXCZ3umQqDjD-dmiWBGdM455RprpUAJ6gm_bLZRNIPnwzgHnnJmTZhnxTeVpvnosi2VQ1qX3rsLLgO3rB-nY9DsorcX0mLjEs8b0bml-PPyYnMFnMCOko5wAMwee/s1600/Kenneth-Clarke_1898615c.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 250px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608030783833428194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMlq_4_L1-iu6PRYV1TXCZ3umQqDjD-dmiWBGdM455RprpUAJ6gm_bLZRNIPnwzgHnnJmTZhnxTeVpvnosi2VQ1qX3rsLLgO3rB-nY9DsorcX0mLjEs8b0bml-PPyYnMFnMCOko5wAMwee/s400/Kenneth-Clarke_1898615c.jpg" /></a><em>Kenneth Clarke, the Justice Secretary, is facing calls to resign after suggesting that date rape is not always “rape”.</em><br /><br />He said some cases of date rape or sex with under-age children might not qualify as rape “in the ordinary conversational sense”.<br /><br />He also refused to agree with the statement “rape is rape”.<br /><br />Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, called for Mr Clarke to resign over the comments.<br /><br />His comments came during an appearance on BBC radio Five Live as he sought to defend plans to halve sentences for criminals who plead guilty early.<br /><br />One victim of an attempted rape who telephoned the programme broke down in tears as arguing that his plans would be a “disaster”.<br /><br />In a series of heated exchanges on the programme he was accused of “patronizing” listeners after dismissing suggestions that rapists would get out of prison in a year as “total nonsense”.<br /><br />He also insisted that building more prisons would be a waste of time and admitted conditions in some were “dreadful”.<br /><br />The Justice Secretary and former Tory Home Secretary, rejected suggestions that rapists might be excluded from plans to halve sentences if they plead guilty.<br /><br />But he went on to say: “Assuming that you and I are taking about rape in the ordinary conversational sense, some man has forcefully…”<br /><br />The presenter, Victoria Derbyshire, interjected: “Rape is rape.”<br /><br />But Mr Clarke replied: “No It’s not.<br /><br />“If an 18-year-old has sex with a 15-year-old and she is perfectly willing that is rape, because she is under age, she can’t consent, anybody who has sex with a 15 year old it’s rape.<br /><br />“But what you and I are talking about is a man forcefully having sex with a woman and she doesn’t want to, that is rape, a serious crime, of course it’s a serious crime.”<br /><br />Presented with sentencing statistics showing that the average jail term for rape is five years, Mr Clarke played the figure down remarking: “They include the 18 year old having sex with a 15 year old and they include date rapes, date rapes sometimes can be very confusing.”<br /><br />Asked whether date rape is not as serious, he said: “Date rape can be as serious as the worst rape but date rape in my, you are quite right to say, very old experience of being in trials, they do vary extraordinarily one from another and in the end the judge has to decide on the circumstances.<br /><br />“But I’ve never met a judge who confronted with a rapist as you and I would use the term in conversation would give him 12 months, that would be a crazy sentence.”<br /><br />Mr Clarke admitted that he had not discussed his plans with any rape victims. Moments later a woman called Gabrielle from London was put on the line to relay her experiences of being attacked as she trained for a marathon by a man on a community sentence for other sexual offences.<br /><br />Breaking down in tears she told him: “If he had not received the community sentence for six sex offences he would not have been out on the day he attacked me, if there wasn’t leniency in the criminal justice system and if he had remained in prison and there was honesty in sentencing and sentences were served in full … my life would have been so different.”<br /><br />Asked about Mr Clarke’s plans the woman said: “It happened to me it is a disaster. Especially with sex offenders it is a known fact that the absolute vast majority … reoffend.<br /><br />“To let them out early is saying that any other female who is minding gtheir own business, going about their lawful business, can be a victim.<br /><br />“In my personal view that cannot be justified. I wouldn’t wish what I went through fighting the criminal justice system for 688 days on my worst enemy.”<br /><br />Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, Mr Miliband told David cameron: "The Prime Minister when he leaves this chamber should go and look at the comments of the Justice Secretary and then he should say to him very clearly the Justice Secretary should not be in his post at the end of today."Tarn Lasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08087884948664444931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628209817430981317.post-55497849502269358882011-05-09T18:23:00.003+01:002011-05-09T18:29:50.054+01:00Meanwhile in Amsterdam ......<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPpp8pgLpKCQix8Gt6kZPwisVysEHbS-KLXOeyIcurkshcUM1whb7RnDOORrGZnrGYP4f3gVXfyfnwU0r8391KOMIkUJZ5tHXdmjhu39w-q2Ri-cFg6ylJ4D8OoX75H7PLnyppWgBxlbUK/s1600/kangaroo+judges.bmp"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 266px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 190px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604769590974400498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPpp8pgLpKCQix8Gt6kZPwisVysEHbS-KLXOeyIcurkshcUM1whb7RnDOORrGZnrGYP4f3gVXfyfnwU0r8391KOMIkUJZ5tHXdmjhu39w-q2Ri-cFg6ylJ4D8OoX75H7PLnyppWgBxlbUK/s400/kangaroo+judges.bmp" /></a>... Geert Wilders made his final statement in court yesterday where he is still on trial for telling the truth about Islam. This, as often noted, is a judicial outrage, a public nightmare, and an existential threat to liberty as we have known it which doesn't end because bin Laden is dead. There is a raw, ugly fear of Islam in the non-Islamic world, and the grotesque reflex of the frightened power classes is to side with the raw, ugly power of Islam, which, never let it be forgotten, is derived solely from their own fear. The results are to be seen in the travesties around us from the Netherlands' campaign to silence, penalize and make an example of the courageous Wilders, to the USA's grotesque staging of a dignified, Islamically correct "funeral at sea" for a mass murderer whose corpse should have been disposed of as the human trash that it was.<br /><br />Reading Geert's words is a sobering experience, spoken as they are in the face of a thoroughly craven but still powerful establishment-machine. In this desperate hour for free speech, they sound an SOS we seem powerless to answer. But they are inspiring, too, for the example they set. Here in the 21st century is a man whose allegiance to liberty is paramount.<br /><br />Geert Wilders:<br /><br />Mister President, members of the Court. I recently tried to have Your Honors removed from the case for your refusal to register a statement of perjury against Mr. Hendriks. My challenge of the court did not succeed. I must accept that. I do wish to say, however, that I was more annoyed by another declaration of the President of the Court on the day of the official hearing of Mr. Jansen. He said that I was a free man, that I could not be compared to Mr. Nekschot because I was a free man.<br /><br />Mister President, you could not be more wrong. For almost seven years now, I have not been a free man. I lost my freedom in 2004. I live as a prisoner with guards without you having convicted me. Without protection I am even less certain of my life than I am now. Mister President, you would not use the words “free man” if you could change places with me for one week.<br /><br />Mister President, members of the court, I am here as a suspect again today. I have said so before: This penal case is a political trial. An attempt is being made here to silence a politician who speaks on behalf of one and a half million people and who already pays a heavy price for that every single day. Formally, only I stand on trial here, but in practice the freedom of speech of millions of Dutchmen is on trial.<br /><br />This trial is not merely a political trial. It is also an unjust trial. When you look at the order of the court (to prosecute me) it is clear that the verdict has already been passed. The court has issued an order to prosecute me in which it concludes that I am guilty of incitement to hatred. The court has concluded that my statements as such are of an insulting nature. The court has concluded that I am guilty of the most serious charge: the incitement to hatred and discrimination. The court has concluded that it expects that the criminal prosecution will indeed lead to a conviction. Mister President, members of the court, the court has already done your job. Long before I was brought to trial before you, I was found guilty and was condemned. Hence my right to a just trial has been violated.<br /><br />Alas, this is but the tip of the iceberg. Without any doubt, the judges who presided this case have conveyed a semblance of partiality. I have been denied 15 of the 18 witnesses whom I wanted to call. Every high representative of the judicial power has given his view on this case, and often to my disadvantage. But Counselor Schalken was the worst.<br /><br />Counselor Schalken, who co-authored the decision to prosecute me, makes a habit of discussing my trial and arguing his case at elegant dinner parties for intellectuals. Counselor Schalken dined with my witness, Mr Jansen – note that he was one of the only three witnesses whom I was allowed to call – three days before Mr. Jansen was to be interrogated by the court. During this dinner Mr. Schalken TRIED to influence Mr Jansen. The fact that he did not succeed is irrelevant.<br /><br />Mr. President, members of the court, stop this unfair, political trial. Respect our Dutch freedoms. If this trial continues, despite the fact that the principle of the presumption of innocence has been violated, and if I am convicted, not only my freedom will be infringed, but also the right of all Dutch people to hear the truth. The 19th century black American politician Frederick Douglass, the son of a slave, put it as follows: “To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.”<br /><br />Mr. President, members of the court, I end with a quote of George Washington, who said: “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” Mr. President, members of the court, do not let this warning become reality. Stop this charade, this political trial where I have already been convicted by the court even before I was a suspect. Stop it now. If you do so, and I passionately hope you will, this will benefit freedom of speech as well as the respectability of the judicial power and the rule of law.<br /><br /><a

/></a>You may remember this from St Georges day 2008 .<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">EU to carve up UK<br /><br /></span>GORDON Brown will today fly the flag of St George over Downing Street - as the EU plots to carve up Britain into a United States of Europe.<br /><br />Secret plans reveal the South of England will be renamed TRANSMANCHE - and governed in part by bureaucrats based in France.<br /><br />Two more "Transnational" zones are also being set up to "promote the territorial agenda" of the EU.<br /><br />The ATLANTIC REGION - stretching thousands of miles from the northern tip of Scotland to southern Spain - will take in western England and Wales, along with parts of Portugal and France.<br /><br />And the NORTH SEA REGION will cover chunks of eastern England and eastern Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, and the Flemish part of Belgium.<br /><br />The Atlantic will have its headquarters in Portugal, the North Sea in Denmark.<br /><br />Ironically, news of the carve-up comes on St George's Day - England's national day.<br /><br />Critics, including the Tories, claim the new regions "ignore thousands of years of history and wipe England off the map".<br /><br />Spokesman Eric Pickles said: "We knew Gordon Brown had hoisted the white flag of surrender to the European Constitution.<br /><br />"Now the Labour Government has been caught red-handed, conspiring with European bureaucrats to create a European Superstate via the back door."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1076910.ece">Rest Here.<br /><br /></a><em>It seems they have already carved up Britain, this is from Monday's Express.</em><br /><br /><br />EU chiefs have been quietly pouring around £1billion a year of taxpayers’ money into the regions.<br /><br />Now they want to significantly raise the profile of Arc Manche, which already has a ruling “assembly” of councillors and bureaucrats headed by a French Socialist Party “president”, Alain Le Vern. At a cost of thousands of pounds, EU officials have commissioned a new “transnational emblem” to be rolled out across southern England. Designers describe the emblem as a “series of concentric circles symbolising the flow of projects and stakeholders” and to “represent so many bridges between territories”.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/244206/244206">Full Article Here<br /></a>Tarn Lasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08087884948664444931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628209817430981317.post-27058174811758868522011-04-30T10:38:00.003+01:002011-04-30T10:48:53.711+01:00Exploring Euthenasia - Government Destruction Of NHSThe Coalition government's plans for the NHS are revealed in the Health and Social Care Bill now before Parliament.<br /><br />We, the electorate however have not had a chance to say yea or nay to these drastic changes as neither the Tories or LibDems saw fit to put them in their manifestoes.<br /><br />Even after the election, their Coalition Programme, published on May 20th 2010, foresaw a gradual evolution of existing structures for the NHS, rather than drastic upheaval, but by the time of The White Paper in July 2010, there had been a significant change of plan.<br /><br />All of England's 152 primary care trusts (PCTs) will be abolished, as well as 10 strategic health authorities (SHAs). GPs will instead be responsible for buying-in services for patients, overseen by a new commissioning board. The bulk of the £100 billion budget will therefore be in the hands of GPs.<br /><br />Our current NHS hospitals will become Foundation Trusts and will have to compete for business with the third sector (charities) and private companies. It has been stated categorically that NHS hospitals will have to survive in the competitive market or they will be allowed to fail and will then be taken over by private interests.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Wait A Minute, That Rings A Bell<br /><br /></span>Just by pure coincidence, a number of Conservative Party donors have got close ties to the healthcare industry. John Nash for one, then chairman of Care UK, which provides GP surgeries, walk-in centres and other specialist services. He and his wife donated £203,500 to the Tories over the last 5 years.<br /><br />Of this £21,000 went directly to Andrew Lansley to fund his office before the Tories got into power.<br /><br />Nash is also the founder of a City Firm, Sovereign Capital, which coincidentally runs a number of private healthcare firms. The co-founder Ryan Robson, another major Tory donor has given the party £252,429.45. £50,000 of this got Robson, a managing partner of Sovereign Capital, into the Tory “Leader's Group” which quietly provides cash for access.<br /><br />Another Tory donor with a financial interest in healthcare is Dolar Popat, who gave £209,000 to the party coffers. He became a Peer shortly after Mr Cameron took office. Dolar Popat founded and runs TLC Group which provides nursing and care homes for the elderly.<br /><br />Philip Scott, of the Priory Group, most of who's income comes from NHS and local council referrals, donated a mere £20,000. The Priory Group runs hospitals, clinics and special schools.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Your Health Is Of "No Clinical Value</span> "<br /><br />The major effort to cut the NHS bill by £20 billion is leading to the rationing of healthcare which can only result in unnecessary deaths and greatly increased suffering for many people. Yet in his wisdom, Mr Cameron tells us that his “health reforms” are not about cutting services and damaging the wellbeing of the British people, but about “choice”.<br /><br />This “choice” means that the NHS will no longer be allowed to carry out 57 different surgical procedures. A government directive has stated:<br /><br />operations which will only be carried out in exceptional circumstances include, removing tonsils, varicose veins, hysterectomies, fitting grommets, removing skin lesions, haemorrhoid surgery, wisdom teeth extraction, cataracts and joint replacements.<br /><br />It has been stated that even operations with an 80% success rate will be categorised as of “no clinical value” and stopped. These types of surgery are classed as “elective”, even though they may mean an enormous difference to the quality of life a person may have and can mean that without surgery, a condition will then deteriorate and could become acute or even fatal.<br /><br />Don't imagine that this policy is hypothetical and may never happen, because it is already being implemented in selected areas which include Bury, Oldham, Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale.<br /><br />Another area of healthcare which is undoubtedly leading to untimely deaths is the practice of passive euthenasia. Since 1993 in the Bland ruling, assisted suicides which involve omissions, ie the removal of life-saving care are not illegal. This is a very distressing subject, which many of us may not want to even consider, but this is happening now in the UK.<br /><br />Barrister, Jamie Bogle has said the following about the current BMA guidelines: “In fact the guidelines do not refer only to patients who are dying ... It may also refer to a serious long-term chronic state.<br /><br />The problem here is that we are talking about withdrawing food and fluids and because in the very narrow circumstances of persistent vegetative state, that has been re-defined as treatment, what these guidelines will do is widen it right out into a whole range of conditions, many of them, non-terminal, in which we will be talking about intentionally terminating a patient's life by dehydration. That must be wrong.”<br /><br />You might want to read the above again and bear in mind that here in England and Wales, nutrition and even water, if they have to be given medically, are categorised as “treatment” and can be withdrawn in certain circumstances. There is every indication that this is an increasing practice in our hospitals.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Don't Mention The War<br /></span><br />Palliative care, often called “comfort care” is carried out by first sedating the patient. This is known as TS, (Terminal Sedation). It is also known as total sedation or palliative sedation, but regardless of it's name it's purpose is “to induce a state of decreased or absent awareness (unconsciousness)”.<br /><br />Nutrients and fluids are then withdrawn and the patient is allowed to starve and dehydrate. This approach has been adopted in many UK NHS Hospitals.<br /><br />During the 1930's, Nazi Germany instigated a programme of euthenasia known as Aktion T4, named after Tiergartenstrasse 4, the street address of the headquarters of the Gemeinnutzige Stiftung fur Heilund Anstaltspflege, translated literally as the inocuous sounding “Charitable Foundation for Cure and Institutional Care.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ukcolumn.org/2009/08/18/the-nhs-is-broken-nice">NICE.</a><br /><br />To reassure the German people about T4, the government carried out a campaign of propaganda to change public opinion to be in favour of euthanasia. Leaflets were produced, posters and short films pointing out the costs of maintaining asylums for the incurably ill and insane until gradually the practice became more and more widespread. Recent research based on files recovered after 1990, give a figure of at least 200,000 physically or mentally handicapped people, who were killed by medication, starvation or in the gas chambers between 1939 and 1945.<br /><br />Is it possible that we are seeing the surreptitious beginnings of such a policy here in the UK?Tarn Lasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08087884948664444931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628209817430981317.post-89193408200722207212011-04-26T12:31:00.003+01:002011-04-26T12:36:47.568+01:00Operation Overthrow: United Kingdom<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPSAzgU96SZVypkcTNkXazrtxy2tSL1isuC6bnAV1KtlVwGS7unkg5OzKWhVtZ58QYoPzXgv1saFd9drTIXnWRVTBwkNmJdPNVc2f9MDODh9tea6QU7VxTxIPVOUKe3tNaP9ZXkM1efZui/s1600/union+flag.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599854733119722130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPSAzgU96SZVypkcTNkXazrtxy2tSL1isuC6bnAV1KtlVwGS7unkg5OzKWhVtZ58QYoPzXgv1saFd9drTIXnWRVTBwkNmJdPNVc2f9MDODh9tea6QU7VxTxIPVOUKe3tNaP9ZXkM1efZui/s400/union+flag.jpg" /></a><em>It is time to start looking severely at our own criminal and treasonous government, and remove the whole rotten regime from power, instituting new political structures which serve the interests of We the People and not those of corporate interest groups and the Globalist Elites.</em><br /><br />Philip Brennan 20 April 2011:<br /><br />For the past century or so the government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have been committing acts of gross treason against We the People.

The author Jack Frost summed it up in his book Gulag of the Family Courts. Other journalists have described it as Child Stealing by the State. When a small community newspaper, the <a href="http://www.ukcolumn.org/children">UK Column</a> was set up in Plymouth to expose massive public sector fraud and corruption, the volunteers had no idea of what was to come. They were shocked at reports of child stealing sent in by parents from across Britain.<br /><br />Presentation<br /><br />In the beginning it was hard to accept some stories as true. Some mothers and fathers appeared traumatised. Could their claims be believed? And then the first mother with evidence arrived in the UK Column office. Ring files of letters, emails and court documentation. The evidence was overwhelming lies, false evidence, perjury, false psychiatric assessments, kidnapping, psychological pressure, police threats, blatant collusion of defence and prosecution legal teams against the parent, failure to prosecute the perpetrators of medical incompetence and child abuse, and blatant victimisation of the innocent parent the mother.<br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p/D291495242D1DA07?hl=en_GB&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/D291495242D1DA07?hl=en_GB&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /><br />Please take the time to listen to Brian , then ask yourself why .... why would the state do this ?

If anything, Jerry has been highly conservative in his estimates, using only official or verifiable sources. If his figures are wrong, they err on the downside. <br /><br />The total of club subscriptions and compliance costs more than account for the UK’s entire public spending deficit. You don’t need to be an Einstein to figure out the obvious conclusion. My congratulations to Jerry Wraith for this masterpiece of analysis.<br /><br />Ashley Mote<br /><br />1 WARNINGS<br /><br />1.1 The whole concept of the EEC/EU has been built up and exists on lies, deceit and false claims. Some of the deliberate and calculated lies are referred to below and are highlighted in italics.<br />1.2 The current equivalent value calculated for the EU budget payments is based on published values for the net budget payments since joining the EEC in 1973 until 2007 . The annual budget payments have been factored by the yearly interest rates on a cumulative basis.<br />1.3 The total real cost of EU membership is impossible to calculate as the costs are not clearly defined (for obvious reasons). Hence, the cost of being in the EU cannot be defined with any accuracy. More accurate figures need to be calculated on a proper actuarial basis.<br /><br />2 DIRECT COST OF EU MEMBERSHIP<br /><br />2.1 Since joining the EEC/EU in 1973 the UK has contributed over £66 Billion1 net in cash budget contributions up to 2007. However, this figure does not give a true picture of the loss in UK investment over the period which the figures cover. This figure of £66 Billion is worth over £165 Billion at year 2007 values allowing for interest. Hence, the equivalent accumulated cost up to 2007 of our direct contributions to the EU’s budget is<br /><br />£165 BILLION<br /><br />2.2 However, this figure does NOT include the costs of administering and complying with EU over-regulation as the EU imposes 80% of the new laws on the UK. (Ted Heath, Conservative Prime Minister “There will be no loss of UK sovereignty when we join the EC.”.) The cost of EU over-regulation has been conservatively estimated by the British Chamber of Commerce1 at £55.66 Billion over the years from 2001 to 2007. The budget contributions over the same period amount to much less than half at £23.4 Billion. <br /><br />Hence it can be conservatively assumed that the cost of complying with EU over regulation is twice the cost of our budget contributions for this period. (NB. For 2011 alone the cost of EU over-regulation is estimated by the Taxpayers Alliance to be £92 Billion.) Hence the equivalent cost at 2007 values of complying with EU over-regulation would be well over double the figure of £165 billion if it were calculated back to the date of joining. Unfortunately, the figures are not readily available so it will be assumed to be £330 or twice the figure for the net budget contributions. Hence, for the UK the equivalent total accumulated direct<br /><br />COST OF BEING PART OF THE EU IS £500 BILLION<br /><br />2.3 NOR does the above figure include numerous other costs of being in the EU such as the CAP which this year alone cost us £5.3 Billion and costs the average family of four an extra £20 per week on their shopping bill or the cost of the CFP which is about £3 Billion/year. Hence the figure of £500 Billion is considered to be well below the total accumulated amount. For a fuller discussion of the annual costs involved see Gerard Battens booklet! <br /><br />NB The actual annual cost of being in the EU in 2008 works out at about £2000/annum/UK citizen. (This independently calculated figure by the Taxpayers Alliance is over 10 times the figure claimed by the EU! ) This equates to a cost for the UK in 2008 alone of being in the EU of £120 Billion or a cost of nearly £14 Million/hour every hour.<br /><br />3 TRADE <br /><br />3.1 The UK’s trade with the EU is frequently quoted by politicians as a good reason for being in the EU. However, our trade with the EU has resulted in a total cash trade deficit of about £360 Billion1 since we joined the EU until 2007. A complete turn-around from an alleged small trade surplus with “Europe” before we joined the EU. If the current accumulated equivalent cost of our EU trade deficit is related to values in 2007 allowing for interest the cost of the<br />UK TRADE WITH THE EU HAS COST OVER £865 BILLION DEFICIT<br />3.2 But the UK’s exports to the EU amount to only about 10% of our GDP. (NB The Rotterdam effect artificially increases the trade figures to the EU as trade with the rest of the world which passes through Rotterdam was (is?) included in the total for trade with the EU). <br /><br />3.3 Trade with the Rest of the World (RoW) is also worth about 10% of our GDP. Over the same period trade with the RoW amounted to a trading cash surplus of £9 Billion. Admittedly our trading position with the RoW has not been good over the last few years, but that can be blamed mainly on the EU. For example;<br /><br />a) The UK has had to give its trading competitors in the EU cash equivalent to £165 Billion since we joined until 2007.<br />b) This £165 Billion has meant that other EU countries saved having to find this amount which lowered their taxes and made them more competitive.<br />c) Similarly, the British economy was taxed the equivalent of an EXTRA £165 Billion to pay the EU, and UK industry also had to pay the costs of EU over-regulation and other EU costs of well over £330 Billion.<br />d) Hence since joining the EU up until 2007 the British economy and British industry has been saddled with additional equivalent costs amounting to well over £500 Billion.<br />e) The Tax payers Alliance has estimated that for this year alone (2011) the cost to the UK economy of being in the EU will be £130.6 Billion. If we stay in another 7 years this means that the cost for the last 7 years alone will be over £1000 Billion. By then the UK would have been in the EU for 45 years. Hence we can assume that the cost of being in the EU even up to the year 2007 would easily run up to thousands of £Billions, allowing for interest.<br /><br />3.4 If the trade figures with the RoW are factored to account for interest our trade with the RoW would be a profit worth £310 Billion.<br />3.5 The effect of being in the EU from 1973 to 2007 on the UK’s global trading position can therefore be summarised as follows;<br />COST OF BEING PART OF THE EU: Thousands of £BILLIONs<br />UK TRADE WITH THE EU: £865 BILLION DEFICIT<br />COST OF BEING PART OF THE RoW: NOTHING<br />UK TRADE WITH THE RoW: £310 BILLION SURPLUS<br />The above statements might appear to give an impartial observer the impression that membership of the EU is not a bargain for Britain. Why pay the equivalent of £1000’s of Billion’s to be tied in with a trading group which costs us a trade deficit of £865 Billion after allowing for interest? However, to politicians in the Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem parties this truth appears either be totally beyond their comprehension, ignored, unknown or just too unpalatable to be mentioned in public. No doubt to David Cameron it makes good business sense. After all, he gave the Irish £6 Billion of our hard earned taxes this year because “they are good customers”. The ultimate stupidity of giving our customers our money to buy our goods is apparently makes good business sense for the Conservative Prime Minister. Added to which there was and is NO guarantee that the money will be used to buy our goods. The effects on UK trade in and out of the EU are discussed further below.<br /><br />4 WAR WITH EUROPE<br /><br />4.1 The fact that there has not been war between the European countries in the EU since the EEC/EU was formed is also quoted by politicians in the Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem parties as a good reason for being in the EU.<br /><br />4.2 This is a fallacious argument. The main threat in Europe for many years since WWII was the ambition of the nuclear armed USSR. The only effective counter to this threat was NATO. <br /><br />4.3 The fact that the European countries had to combine in the EU to stop kicking each other’s heads in is all well and good. However, no politician in the Conservative, Labour or Lib Dem parties can apparently explain WHY BRITAIN HAS TO BE A PART OF IT and has to pay equivalent accumulated costs of £Billion’s for the privilege. <br /><br />4.4 It is abundantly clear that if Britain left the EU war would not immediately break out between Britain and other EU countries or amongst themselves.<br /><br />5 EU LEGISLATION<br /><br />5.1 It is sometimes claimed that EU legislation “is good for us” which is why it is good for Britain to be in the EU.<br />5.1 This must be the most preposterous suggestion ever as we once had (before we joined the EU that is) our own parliament which should have been perfectly able to pass laws which were “good” for Britain.<br /><br />5.3 In addition, before joining the EU the UK voters could have voted for a party to amend or repeal laws which were not working. This facility has completely disappeared for all the thousands of laws imposed upon us by the EU, none of which has any UK citizen voted for.<br /><br />6 BENEFIT OF BEING IN THE EU<br /><br />6.1 From the above it is quite clear that the three main so-called “benefits” of being in the EU, i.e. EU legislation, trade and peace in Europe, are completely spurious as reasons for Britain being in the EU.<br /><br />6.2 Hence there is NOT ONE BENEFIT FOR THE UK FROM BEING IN THE EU!<br /><br />7 BENEFITS OF WITHDRAWL FROM THE EU<br /><br />7.1 The benefits for Britain from leaving the EU are almost too many to recount but a short list is provided.<br /><br />7.2 Trade.<br /><br />Quote by Axel Weber, Bundesbank Chief “Europe will become more and more insignificant in the global economy”<br /><br />a) Out of the EU Britain would be better placed to negotiate better terms for trade deals with EU countries. The EU needs us £865 Billion more than we need them.<br />b) Out of the EU Britain would NOT have to give its trading competitors the equivalent of £165 Billion or be saddled with costs of over-regulation of £26+ Billions/annum<br />c) Out of the EU Britain would be better placed to do trade deals with emerging economies like China and India.<br />d) Out of the EU Britain would be better placed to do trade deals with the USA and the Commonwealth countries and they ALL speak English.<br />e) The Commonwealth consists of 54 independent states with a total population of 2 billion people.<br />f) The Rest of the World consists of 168 countries with a total population of 6.5 billion.<br />g) The EU consists of 27 countries with 500 million people.<br />h) The EU is reducing in population and the elderly are becoming more numerous. The EU has estimated that by 2050 there will be up to 100 million pensioners in the EU. By then only two people will be working for each pensioner whereas at present there are four.<br /><br />Clearly there are many more opportunities for trade outside the EU and being outside the EU will not prevent the UK from trading with the EU. (David Cameron, Prime Minister “Being in the EU is good for Britain”. Why?)<br /><br />7.3 Immigration<br /><br />a) Out of the EU Britain would not have to legally provide residency and all that implies for 500 million EU “citizens” who can come and live here at any moment they choose. This makes a total mockery of town planning and the provision of schools, hospitals, etc., etc.<br />b) Out of the EU Britain would regain control of its borders and would be totally responsible for deciding who comes to live here.<br />c) Out of the EU Britain would be free to deport foreign murderers, rapists, paedophiles, drug smugglers, sex traffickers etc.,. etc., no matter where they came from, including the EU.<br />d) Out of the EU Britain’s tax payers would not have to subsidise millions of economic migrants from the EU.<br />e) Out of the EU our borders would be much easier to control. In the EU our borders are many thousands of miles long and uncontrollable for much of it. <br /><br />Clearly there are many advantages in being free to control our borders. (David Cameron Prime Minister “Being in the EU is good for Britain”. Why?)<br /><br />7.4 EU Legislation<br /><br />a) The EU currently imposes 80% of our new laws on the UK. (William Hague, Conservative Party election slogan “In Europe, but not run by Europe”.)<br />b) None of the EU laws are generated by our elected MP’s or MEP’s.<br />c) None of the EU laws can be amended or revoked by our elected MP’s or MEP’s.<br /><br />We have therefore effectively LOST OUR VOTE! David Cameron apparently thinks this is a good thing! (David Cameron Prime Minister “Being in the EU is good for Britain”. Why?)<br /><br />7.5 Global “Warming”<br /><br />a) The EU is making Britain reduce its carbon emissions by large and unachievable amounts.<br />b) As part of this process the EU has told Britain to close 4 coal powered stations by 2015. There is no alternative generating capacity available in the UK.<br />c) This will make the UK entirely dependent on electricity provided by France if UK industry is not to be shut down through lack of power.<br />d) This makes the UK hostage to France which is frightening as the French will take full advantage of this.<br /><br />(NB The French power company EDF recently imposed higher rates on UK customers because President Sarkozy stipulated that price rises in France should not exceed a certain value. EDF was therefore charging UK customers more to subsidise their French domestic customers.)<br /><br />e) The inevitable prospect for Britain after the power stations are closed is complete black-outs, huge costs to our industry and an increase in deaths from hypothermia amongst the sick and elderly. <br /><br />(AM note – carbon dioxide is a plant food and global warming a proven myth. It is now merely a means of taxation and imposing more controls on industry to appease the green lobby. Why else do farmers pump pure carbon dioxide into greenhouses if it is not to encourage plant growth? And CO2 is 0.0385% of one percent of the earth’s atmosphere. If it trebled tomorrow no-one would notice, not least because the effect is logarithmic, not arithmetic…the more the change the less the impact.)<br /><br />7.6 General Comments<br /><br />a) Although UK trade with the EU amounts to only about 10% of our GDP the EU meddling, interference and legislation affects the whole of the UK’s economy and way of life.<br />b) From rubbish collections being reduced to every two weeks to the decimation of our Royal Mail and the closure of hundreds of post offices, the EU has had a disastrous influence on our daily lives.<br />c) Out of the EU the UK would not be liable to being fined £billions for not showing enough of a grovelling gratitude for the funds which are returned to the UK and which we provided (plus lots more) to the EU in the first place.<br />d) Yet David Cameron says that the EU is “good for Britain”. His attitude is totally incomprehensible and so is that of the voters who continue to vote for the Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem parties.<br /><br />8 CONCLUSION<br /><br />If we, our children and grandchildren are not to be subjected to much, much, more of the same thing there is only one answer. That is to support the UKIP and get Britain out of the EU at the earliest opportunity. Only this way will our descendants be able to vote for the government of their choice and at the same time avoid the colossal political and financial costs that are an integral part of being part of the costly, secretive and corrupt EU.<br /><br />…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….<br /><br />Foot Note : <br /><br />WHY ARE WE IN THE EU?<br /><br />THE EU WILL COST US MORE THIS YEAR[1] AND EVERY YEAR <br /><br />THAN THE COST OF THE JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE[2] <br />;BUT, since we joined the EU until 2006 and allowing for interest[3]:<br /><br />Trade with the EU: DEFICIT of £865 billion<br />COST of being part of the EU; Thousands of £Billions[4] <br /><br />Trade with the Rest of the World: £310 billion PROFIT<br /><br />COST of being part of the Rest of the World: NOTHING.<br /><br />So, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband WHY is being in the EU “good for Britain”?

No. Do I think it’s a fair system and superior to the one we have now? Yes.”<br /><br />Asked what he would do differently if he were elected Prime Minister in three years time, he responded: “I’m still in enough trouble over the last manifesto, I’m not going to start making declarations about the next one before we’ve even started writing it.”<br /><br />Speaking about the controversial cuts, Mr Clegg said: “I’m not here trying to balance the books for the hell of it, I want to rid this country of this tremendous black cloud of debt.<br /><br />“I don’t apologise for that and, though I realise Labour are having a lot of fun at our expense, I hope in time the results will speak for themselves.”<br /><br />16-year-old Joseph Calverley is intending to go to university in two years and took the opportunity to grill the Deputy PM about student fees: “He did explain about the fees and about something called Graduate Tax but I didn’t really follow it,” Joseph told The Star,<br /><br />“It would be good to hear some of the issues and their solutions from him broken down more clearly.<br /><br />“On the whole he seemed to anticipate a lot of what we were going to ask him and had answers ready which I thought was good.”<br /><br />Mr Clegg also touched on the situation in Libya, labelling Colonel Gadaffi a ‘tyrant’ and saying Europe had a responsibility to intervene where human rights were being abused.<br /><br />“Whatever we do, we will act lawfully. We will not ignore and wriggle through international law like the last government did in Iraq.<br /><br />“The UK won’t act alone, we’re not about to charge off on a unilateral military adventure to Libya, it’s about what Europe decides but it would be wrong of us to turn our backs on the brutality.”Tarn Lasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08087884948664444931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628209817430981317.post-33446883700754043462011-03-03T09:34:00.002+00:002011-03-03T09:40:48.112+00:00A Message to the Voters of Barnsley Central<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ0R7ZYSWqftVyUQ2p3LtfxNGHNLlMGzHiVsklibEEVejoanPgkabvzxv0MGIACec-uPhPuRArD3Azs5wSPdecqTX-o99pUt8MelnHMaH6Q5_mGfH2psVOG1xCzyY26W6ljZY2JtoVtgr3/s1600/dont-forget-to-vote-barnsley-2011.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 333px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579785097888542178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ0R7ZYSWqftVyUQ2p3LtfxNGHNLlMGzHiVsklibEEVejoanPgkabvzxv0MGIACec-uPhPuRArD3Azs5wSPdecqTX-o99pUt8MelnHMaH6Q5_mGfH2psVOG1xCzyY26W6ljZY2JtoVtgr3/s400/dont-forget-to-vote-barnsley-2011.jpg" /></a>The voters of Barnsley Central have a unique opportunity today to send a clear message to the old gang parties by voting for the British National Party’s positive vision for the future of Britain: a land where there is real economic recovery, where there is honesty and truth in politics and where we are all proud of our nation once again.<br /><br /><br />By voting for the British National Party today, the electors of Barnsley can send a message to the Labour/Liberal Democrat/Tory elite that that are sick and tired of lies over the economy, bankster bailouts at the expense of the taxpayers, lies over immigration, lies over jobs and welfare, lies over asylum, lies over the EU, lies over foreign aid, lies over the cost of living and lies over the future of our nation.<br /><br />Today is the day when voters in Barnsley Central can put their crosses next to the name of Enis Dalton, the British National Party’s dynamic and striking candidate.

It is also on top of the £35 billion annual defence budget.<br /><br />The bank bailout cost British taxpayers at least £131 billion, and added significantly to the national debt and the economic crisis facing Britain.<br /><br />The cost of Britain’s membership of the European Union has rocketed by more than 60 percent over the past decade and now costs at least £6.4 billion in direct costs and many millions more in regulatory and other costs.<br /><br />The foreign aid budget has also increased dramatically over the last ten years, and averages out at around £7 billion per year (the latest increase included).<br /><br />This means that the British taxpayers have been presented with a £70 billion bill for foreign aid alone over the last decade, a figure which is only set to increase further.<br /><br />In other words, the Labour Party presided over an outlay in these four policy areas alone of around £230 billion.<br /><br />While there is no doubt that the Tories and Lib Dems would have acted in exactly the same manner had they been in power, it is hypocrisy in the extreme for Mr Miliband to attack the other two Tweedledee Tweedledum parties for policies which his own party carried out.<br /><br />Labour is just as much, maybe even more, to blame for the “cost of living crisis” and no amount of pathetic bleating by Mr Miliband can disguise this fact.<br /><br />You May Have Forgotten Ed ....
