The British Government Dissolves Itself

(Reprint from LibertyGB)

There is no British government. It has dissolved itself. It no longer exists.

Britain has a multicultural government. A Multiculturalist “British”government is an oxymoron. The government in the land called “Britain” is not, nor does it purport to be, British. At best the government of the land of Britain sees itself as a neutral overseer of many cultures, of which the British culture just happens to be one. As a multiculturalist government, the “British” government doesn’t favor the British culture in the land it controls, any more than it favors Islamic, Hindu or Sikh culture. As a multicultural government, it is culturally neutral, not British.

In fact, the situation is worse. Being multicultural means the “British”government actively works to promote – dare I say it – “non-British” cultures in the land they govern. To counter what it calls the “racist,” “bigotry” of culturists, the government funds festivals and film festivals for non-British cultural groups. It must constantly tell the British people how wonderful Islam is and prosecutes those who would say otherwise. It this way it can remind the population it rules, that nothing is truly British. Rather than passive, the multiculturalist “British” government actively counters those who would claim Britain is British.

In fact, the situation is worse. The “British” government promotes diversity. The “multi” in multiculturalism means more than two. Thus a multiculturalist must work to reduce the traditional majority culture’s representation to, at most, 1/3^rd of the population. In its dedication to cultural “diversity,” the“British” government actively seeks to reduce the demographic domination of the“British” people (their quotes not mine) by actively importing non-British peoples. Thus the British can reach its main objective, that of increasing diversity.

A real British government would be culturist. It would actively protect and promote British culture rather than deny its existence, legitimacy, and primacy. A British government would not say that Britain is just as Islamic a nation as it is Christian. A British government would not punish culturists for saying Britain should be culturally British. A British government would promote British culture via public events and curriculum. A British government would not work to foster cultural diversity by importing millions of “non-British” peoples.

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

'I've got a surprise for you': Husband blindfolds his wife.... and then chops off her fingers to stop her studying for a degree

From the Daily Mail:

A jealous husband is facing life in prison after chopping off his wife's fingers because she began studying for a degree without his permission.Rafiqul Islam, 30, blindfolded his wife Hawa Akhter, 21, and taped her mouth, telling her he was going to give her a surprise present.Instead he made her hold out her hand and cut off all five fingers. One of his relatives then threw Ms Akhter's fingers in the dustbin to ensure doctors could not reattach them.

Hawa Akhter has said she will continue her studies, despite the horrific attack

Mr Islam, who is a migrant worker in the United Arab Emirates, had warned his wife there would 'severe consequences' if she did not give up her studies.'After he came back to Bangladesh, he wanted to have a discussion with me,' Ms Akhter told The Times.'Suddenly, he blindfolded me and tied my hand. He also taped my mouth saying that he would give me some surprise gifts. But, instead he cut off my fingers.'

FEMEN ACTIVISTS Hold Topless Protest in Stockholm Mosque, Shouting "No Sharia"

Femen activists held a topless protest in a Stockholm mosque on Saturday.

They ripped off their black robes and exposed their breasts.

From AFP:

The women shouted “Free Women”, “No Sharia” and “No Oppression”.

Three feminist activists from the radical protest group Femen staged a topless protest inside a Stockholm mosque on Saturday before they were led away by police.

The women burst into the mosque and tore off their black robes to bare their breasts, which were emblazoned with slogans such as “No sharia in Egypt and the world” and “My body is mine, not somebody’s honor”.

The mosque was largely empty at the time apart from a couple of employees and some members of the press who had been told of the planned protest in advance.

Mosque employees called police who removed the women from the scene. The women did not explain why they wanted to protest inside an empty mosque.

Obama Will Delay Implementation of Employer Mandate Until 2015 Due to Strenuous Complaints from Businesses

I can do whatever the fuck I want

Businesses won’t be penalized next year if they don’t provide workers health insurance after the Obama administration decided to delay a key requirement under its health-care law, two administration officials said. 

The decision will come in regulatory guidance to be issued later this week. It addresses vehement complaints from employer groups about the administrative burden of reporting requirements, though it may also affect coverage provided to some workers. 

The two officials, who asked not to be identified to discuss the move ahead of its announcement, said the administration decided to wait until 2015 before enforcing the employer mandate in order to simplify reporting requirements and give businesses more time to adapt their health-care coverage.

Ace asks:

If Obama can change the law by whim according to his political needs by unilateral executive action, doesn't that mean that a conservative president can do so as well?

Medical PSA

If this is as bad as they believe it to be then don't mess around if you are showing symptoms. I've had/have Lyme disease (there is debate on whether the spirochetes that cause it are ever really gone/dead) and it is no fun. Neither is the course of doxycycline used to fight it. Actually, I'm not sure which was worse.

That said, in my case my wife found the tick on my shoulder. Two weeks later the rash showed up where the tick had been and I felt like I had a rotten case of the flu.

Off to the doc who started me on the Doxy sent me to the hospital for the tests.

Which came back negative. And she told me to stop the antibiotics.

Listened to her about as well as I listen to anyone else and continued the treatment anyway. This was in September of 2001 when false negatives, especially early in an infection, were high.

3 other people who worked n the same office as me and live in the same area also had symptoms that year. All went to the same doc and all had the same result, but they stopped the treatments. In one case the woman still suffers serious problems all these years later because it was another 9 months until she was properly diagnosed.

I still feel like I get a summer flu or two every year, along with some joint pains, especially in my fingers. Going to the gym seems to help with both and I admit some of it could be my approaching middle age.

The point being, if the doc tells you it's negative don't take no for an answer. Have them test again for both Lyme and now this new Borrelia miyamotoi, especially until the medical community gets up to speed on it.

New Tick-Borne Illness Could Be Worse Than Lyme Disease
Doctors May Not Even Know To Look For Borrelia Miyamotoi Infection

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A new disease spread by deer ticks has already infected 100,000 New Yorkers since the state first started keeping track.

As CBS 2’s Dr. Max Gomez reported, the new deer tick-borne illness resembles Lyme disease, but is a different malady altogether – and it could be even worse.

The common deer tick is capable of spreading dangerous germs into the human bloodstream with its bite. However, Lyme disease is one of many diseases that ticks carry.

The latest disease is related to Lyme, and an infected person will suffer similar symptoms.
 “Patients with this illness will develop, perhaps, fever, headache, flu-like symptoms, muscle pains — so they’ll have typical Lyme-like flu symptoms in the spring, summer, early fall,” said Dr. Brian Fallon of Columbia University. “But most of them will not develop the typical rash that you see with Lyme disease.”

Fallon, a renowned expert on Lyme disease at the New York Psychiatric Institute, said the importance of the new bacterium – called Borrelia miyamotoi — is that it might explain cases of what looked like chronic Lyme disease, but did not test positive for Lyme.

“The problem is that the diagnosis is going to be missed, because doctors aren’t going to think about Borrelia miyamotoi because they don’t know about it. And number two, if they test for Lyme disease, it will test negative, and the rash won’t be there,” Fallon said. “So they are not going to treat with the antibiotics, so the patient will have an infection staying in their system longer than it should.

While there is no test yet for the germ, the good news is that it appears the same antibiotic that kills Lyme disease also works – if it is given in the right doses and started early in the infection.

Remember, it takes a tick bite to get Lyme disease or the new bug, and the tick usually has to feed on your blood for at least 24 hours.

If you have been outdoors, have someone else do a full body check, Gomez advised. Ticks are small – only about the size of a sesame seed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And one more thing. You don't have to go to the woods to catch Lyme. All four of us mentioned above got it in our own backyards and neighborhood.

So be on the lookout.

And if anyone -- AoW, Christine, Christian Soldier, Mrs. Pastorius, Epa -- aren't sure what to look for or need some help checking, well. . .

 

(aw c'mon. you didn't really think I could let that pass did you?)

Study Shows Vets Must Navigate 613 Forms Across 18 Different Agencies To Get Benefits They Have Earned

This is the way we treat those who are willing to lay their lives down for our Freedom.

Kafkaesque:

A new study released ahead of the Fourth of July holiday sheds more light on the tangle of paperwork facing America's veterans -- showing they're up against as many as 613 forms across 18 agencies as they seek services.  

The study by the American Action Forum also found the paperwork -- in part the result of roughly 31 million Veterans Affairs claims alone each year -- takes federal employees roughly 43.3 million hours to process.  

“Navigating 18 agencies and more than 600 forms has produced absurd results and unnecessary delays,” the self-described “center-right” leaning nonprofit said. 

To be sure, the massive backlog at the Veterans Affairs has been well-documented and has resulted in demands for change from the White House, Capitol Hill and the public. In March, the agency had 600,000, roughly 70 percent, of its claims pending longer than 125 days.

UK: Islamic Call To Prayer To Be Broadcast On Channel 4 Every Day During Ramadan

Channel 4 defends decision to air call to prayer every day during ramadan in the UK

 The head of factual programming insisted that the broadcast fulfils part of the channel's remit to give a "voice to the under-represented" - but also recognises a religion that is "flourishing".     
Writing in the Radio Times, Lee said: "No doubt Channel 4 will be criticised for focusing attention on a 'minority' religion but that’s what we’re here to do – provide space for the alternative and a voice to the under-represented.

"And let’s not forget that Islam is one of the few religions that’s flourishing, actually increasing in the UK. Like Channel 4’s target audience, its followers are young. It’s recently been reported that half of British Muslims are under 25."Channel 4 will broadcast calls to prayer throughout the fasting month of Ramadan, which begins on Tuesday 9 July. The adhan will also be available online.

Lee described the broadcast, a first for a terrestrial channel as "a nationwide tannoy system, a deliberate 'provocation' to all our viewers in the very real sense of the word".

He went on to compare levels of participation in Ramadan in the UK with levels of media interest in other, more traditional occasions.

"Nearly five per cent of the country will actively engage in Ramadan this month – can we say the same of other national events that have received blanket coverage on television such as the Queen’s coronation anniversary?" he added.Channel 4 has, however, reportedly been told to keep coverage "in proportion"

The Independent quotes Terry Sanderson, President of the National Secular Society, as saying: “I wouldn’t object to it as at least it gives some balance to the BBC’s emphasis on Christianity but Channel 4 has to keep it in proportion.

“The percentage of Muslims in the UK is very small so few people will be interested in it. It may be a novelty and Channel 4 is good at causing a sensation. We don’t want to see any broadcaster becoming a platform for religious proselytising.”

Blasphemy Law Comes to Facebook

From the American Thinker:

Over the last couple of weeks Facebook has clamped down heavily on various (around 40) counter-jihad and patriot pages.

The administrators of these pages were shocked when they logged on and found that their pages had suddenly 'disappeared'. In some cases Facebook has made this statement: 'Your Page was flagged for content containing nudity, pornography or sexual solicitation.' The page admins, however, have claimed not to have posted anything with explicitly sexual content. What will have happened is that Muslims, and/or the Leftist whores/enablers-of-Islam, will have 'reported' these pages for 'sexual content' knowing full well that it would be much more difficult to make a political/religious case for banning them. (I've been reported by a Hope Not Hate (UK) member, and then banned by Facebook, for an innocent cartoon image -- Facebook used the phrase 'sexual content' then too.) These pages will therefore have been consistently reported by Muslims, and/or Leftists, for anti-Islamic content, not for sexual or violent content.

So, perhaps unknowingly, the automated machine that is Facebook will mainly respond to Muslim and Leftist 'reports' without looking into their true nature and seeing they are in fact being taken for a ride by such people. And because Facebook is free it simply won't have the manpower to check all reports. Thus it will ban indiscriminately -- on reports alone. Either that, or the Muslims and Leftists who work for Facebook are taking matters into their own hands by imposing Sharia Blasphemy Law on Facebook without its owners, or those at the top level, knowing this.

Here are some of the pages banned by Facebook recently.

On the 19th on June, 'Ban Islam' was itself banned. ('Ban Islam' had at least 45,000 followers.) The admin immediately set up 'Ban Islam 2' only to be banned again a couple of days ago. 'Islam Against Women', 'Islam Free Planet' and many others have also been banned. The blog Sharia Unveiled estimates that around 40 pages have been banned in the last couple of weeks. And, as that blog puts it, 'from what we are hearing, this is only the beginning'.

None of this is a surprise. There has been a huge effort by Muslims and Islamic groups to get rid of certain pages -- or all pages! -- which are critical of Islam (in any way whatsoever!). Of course they have focused on the most popular ones to begin with.

This campaign to get Sharia Blasphemy Law implemented on Facebook dates back to at least 2010. To take just one example of this. There is a page which is honest it its extremism and about how absolutist it is about all criticism of Islam. Its name alone betrays that extremism: 'We want Facebook to remove all groups & pages that [are] against Islam'. In that page you can find the following statement:

"This page is created for the sole purpose of removing all the groups and pages that are against Islam. If 50,000 people report those Groups and Pages than Facebook will disable."

It is partly an organisation called Islamic Socialist Network responsible for some of these assults on free expression (according to the American blog 'Sharia Unveiled'). This 'network' ran a website called 'Union Star Network'. However, in the last 24 hours this website/blog has itself been closed down. I can only assume that this has been in response to critics of the 'Wanted' posters which many Internet users may have 'reported'. On that website there were (I saw them myself) indeed various 'wanted' posters which offered rewards of up $1 million for personal information on the admins of patriot and counter-jihad pages. Of course the Islamic and Leftist totalitarians are also intent on banning or hacking websites and blogs too (e.g., 'Your Daily Muslim' is one victim of this campaign for the elimination of all contradictory views), not just Facebook pages.

Texas High School Senior Wins Right To Fly Palestinian Flag At Graduation

Remember, just a few weeks ago, in Texas, a Valedictorian had his microphone cut off, during his Valedictorian Address, because he mentioned God.

That's not ok, in Obama's America, but it is ok for a Muslim scumfuck like this little twerp to fly his flag of abject Jew-hatred.

The Palestinian "state" is governed by Hamas and the PLO, both of which call, in their charters for the destruction of Israel. The Hamas Charter is particularly vile, outright calling for genocide of the Jews.

And that is the state this kid wants to support, and his school allows it.

From the pro-Palestinian site Electronic Intifada:

Malak Abdallahi had to fight to be allowed carry the Palestinian flag at her graduation ceremony in Texas earlier this month. 

She overcame opposition by administrators at the Fossil Ridge High School just outside Fort Worth. 

Officially, the school is happy to celebrate the diverse origins of its students by displaying the flags of numerous countries during the graduation procession. 

When Abdallahi decided that she wished to have her Palestinian identity recognized during this year’s ceremony, she went first to her vice-principal Buddy Read. He told her that there shouldn’t be any problem with obtaining a Palestinian flag for the event. 

A few days later, the vice-principal called her into his office where he informed her that the administrators were not comfortable with her carrying the Palestinian flag. Abdallahi was shocked but did not know how to respond. “I’m not one to argue, and I didn’t want to come off aggressive, immature, or unprofessional,” she said. 

She asked Read for an explanation. Read informed her that there was a conflict and that she could not carry the Palestinian flag, she recounted. He explained that her commencement is a public ceremony and that the administrators did not want to make any of the attendees uncomfortable. 

“He was so uncomfortable and couldn’t look me in the eye,” Abdallahi said. “He offered that I could carry another flag. I told him that if he was trying to suggest Israel, then no thank you.”

You know that totally insane Benghazi conspiracy theory? It keeps getting less totally insane by the day...

Over time I have come to believe this "totally insane conspiracy theory. I know it's a conspiracy theory,  and it seems crazy to me to believe such nonsense, but I feel as if I am being left with no other possible explanation for the various things that have transpired.

Apparently, Doug Ross is coming to the same conclusion.

From Doug Ross at Director Blue:

This week Raymond Ibrahim reported on a troubling Libyan intelligence document. It asserts that the Muslim Brotherhood, including Egyptian President Morsi, were involved in the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

On Wednesday, June 26, several Arabic websites ... quoted the intelligence report, which apparently was first leaked to the Kuwaiti paper, Al Ra’i... It discusses the preliminary findings of the investigation, specifically concerning an “Egyptian cell” which was involved in the consulate attack. “Based on confessions derived from some of those arrested at the scene” six people, “all of them Egyptians” from the jihad group Ansar al-Sharia (“Supporters of Islamic Law), were arrested.

According to the report, during interrogations, these Egyptian jihadi cell members “confessed to very serious and important information concerning the financial sources of the group and the planners of the event and the storming and burning of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi…. And among the more prominent figures whose names were mentioned by cell members during confessions were: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi; preacher Safwat Hegazi; Saudi businessman Mansour Kadasa, owner of the satellite station, Al-Nas; Egyptian Sheikh Muhammad Hassan; former presidential candidate, Hazim Salih Abu Isma’il..."

This jibes with original reporting from last September by Walid Shoebat. A cellphone video taken during the attacks depicts gunmen running toward the camera. At one point an approaching gunman cries, "Don't shoot us! We were sent by Morsi!"


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *In October of 2012, a comment by "Kozy" posited that the Benghazi attack was an "October Surprise". Easily dismissed at the time as some sort of conspiracy nonsense, with each passing day the scenario appears to become more plausible:

• Starting in late March, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz begs the State Department for more security assets. These requests are flatly refused.

• Also early in the year (February, March and April), White House visitor records show several lightly documented -- and possibly confidential -- visits by Hillary Clinton to the White House.

• In May, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz is swapped for Chris Stevens.

• In June, Egyptian President Morsi publicly pledges to secure the release of 'The Blind Sheikh', the extremist cleric responsible for the first World Trade Center attack.

• Also starting in June, Ambassador Stevens' security teams are systematically removed from Libya, despite increasingly urgent requests and dire predictions. By the time of the 9/11 attack, Stevens has not a single personal bodyguard. These stunning actions effectively remove any barriers to the capture of the Ambassador for use as a hostage.

• Did back-channel communications between the White House and the Blind Shiekh's legal representatives confirm that a swap could be achieved with a high-level hostage exchange? Were the Sheikh's cronies informed that Ambassador Stevens had no security in Benghazi? This would enable the Sheikh to be secured through a trade after capturing Stevens; after all, the ambassador has had his security teams completely stripped away.

• Someone -- it is not clear who -- arranges a meeting between Stevens and Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akinin in Benghazi, not Tripoli, late in the evening of 9/11. It is during this meeting that terrorist checkpoints are established around the compound. The terrorists know precisely where Stevens is and are prepared logistically to capture him.

• The initial attack involves only small arms fire. A fire was later used to smoke out the Ambassador from a safe room. In other words, the lack of RPG and mortar rounds during the initial attack means it is highly likely that the operation was a "smash and grab" designed to capture the Ambassador, not assassinate him. RPGs were only used later at the annex, hours later, after Stevens was known KIA.

• And, as stated above, during the initial attack, a video shot via camera phone records men yelling "Don’t Shoot us! We were sent by Morsi!"

Hostage swap

Under this operating theory, had all gone according to plan, the Obama administration would have secretly facilitated the capture of Ambassador Stevens. This would have permitted Obama to safely trade the Ambassador through the release of the Blind Sheikh.

The trade of the Sheikh for Stevens would have occurred, of course, just before the election. 

Obama would take very public credit for Stevens' safe return as well as a newly strengthened relationship with Egypt's Morsi.

Photo ops featuring Obama and Stevens would be splashed along the campaign trail, ostensibly solidifying the president's foreign policy qualifications.

Sound too far-fetched? Consider the following unanswered unanswered questions:

• Why did State repeatedly deny requests for more security in Benghazi, despite increasingly dire predictions? Instead, State completely stripped security from Stevens. No credible explanation has been offered for the removal of security by the White House or the State Department. It has been confirmed that the budget excuse proffered by State was completely false.

• Who arranged Stevens' meeting with Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akinin in Benghazi, not Tripoli, so late in the evening?

• Why on 9/11 -- of all dates -- was there no special security posture ordered in diplomatic installations around the Middle East?

• Why did so many people in the administration publicly lie about the nature of the attack when it was clear from the onset that it was an organized attack by terrorists?

• Why did the president go to sleep after getting word of the attack? 

• Why did he reportedly refuse security briefings in the aftermath of the attack, instead simply departing for a fundraiser in Las Vegas?

The theory being: the President didn't need to stay awake after hearing of the attack. He didn't need any briefings. He knew exactly what had happened.

A review of the Complete Benghazi Timeline makes some of these anomalies apparent. It's high time for a special prosecutor and a full, Watergate-style investigation into this madness.
